I think I've read just about all I can on this subject and I have a feeling I will be happy with any of the options below but I just need a little more help so I make the right decision.
I'm looking to do a mild lift and improve performance. I know I am going to do a 1.5" aal in the rear for my tsb pack. For the front I would be happy with 1.5-2" of lift. I would like the ride to be firm but not hard as I drive both country and city roads and don't do much off-road but see that I could get into more of that in the future. I like the stock ride though it is a little soft around turns and under breaking. So the options for the front that I am considering are:
Eibachs and 5100's
OME 884's and 5100's
OME 884's and OME 9000 shocks
I worry that the Eibachs will be too stiff, that the full OME set up will be to soft and that the OME/5100 will not be a good match because of the valving of the 5100's.
Future plans may be a full Dakar leaf pack when the rear wears out. At that point if the Eibachs are in I would probably bump up to .85" on the billies.
Thanks for the help with my indecision

Match Preview
Allardyce aims to end Palace hoodoo Sam Allardyce is aiming to break West Ham's losing streak over Crystal Palace - but is expecting a tough challenge from a side still likely to play the 'Tony Pulis' way. Former manager Pulis left Selhurt Park less than 48 hours before the start of the new Barclays Premier League season, with Keith Millen taking charge of Saturday's narrow 2-1 defeat at Arsenal. With the furore surrounding Malky Mackay's ongoing wranglings with former club Cardiff, the Scot will no longer be filling the vacancy. That means Millen is once again likely to be in charge of first-team affairs for the visit of West Ham - with the Eagles having won four of the last six meetings and remaining unbeaten in the fixture since 2003. But Allardyce, who is struggling with early season injuries and suspension to his defensive line, is hopeful of overcoming their recent south London hoodoo. "I think they have some better players than last season but they very much stick to the same type of structural organisation," he said. "We didn't beat them last year and it will be just as difficult, if not more so, with the players they've brought in. "The new players have lots of Premier League experience and from that point of view we'll have a tough job. "There's still lots of excitement around the ground and the stadium, the players know their position now, they know what their job is. At the start of last season they found it difficult to cope with the league, but Tony Pulis came in and structured it accordingly. "It'll be a tight game. I don't think there'll be many goals in it, but hopefully it'll be as entertaining as it possibly can be." The Hammers slipped to two 1-0 defeats at the hands of Palace last season and went on to finish two places lower than the Eagles' final position of 11th. With debutants Aaron Cresswell and Cheikhou Kouyate impressing in the last-gasp defeat to Tottenham last week, Allardyce could hand either Enner Valencia or Diafra Sakho their first starts for the club on Saturday. But, after bolstering his attacking options over the summer, it is in defence where Allardyce will be weakened - with James Collins banned and James Tomkins, Joey O'Brien and Carl Jenkinson unlikely to be completely match fit. Republic of Ireland international O'Brien is hoping the managerial uncertainty can see the Hammers turn the tables this season. "Palace did a number on us twice last year, so we want to get one back," he said. "In that first year in the Premier League you might wonder what to expect from them, but now everyone knows their players and the situations they create. We know what to expect this year. "I don't know whether the managerial situation there will affect the players. I watched their game against Arsenal last week and they played really well - they were unlucky to lose the game, so it's a home game for them, their fans will be up for the first home game of the season and we'll have to play at our best." Crystal Palace's rocky managerial search has clouded the club's future in uncertainty, according to caretaker boss Millen. Former Palace defender Millen has pledged the protracted bid to replace Pulis will not affect Saturday's home Barclays Premier League clash with West Ham. The 47-year-old did concede, however, that as long as the Eagles remain without a permanent manager, the club's future direction will be called into question. Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon is the latest bookies' favourite to success Pulis, who walked out on Palace on the eve of the new season. Allegations of racism and homophobia lodged with the FA by Cardiff put paid to Mackay's chances of taking the Selhurst Park helm, also forcing the resignation of Palace's sporting director Iain Moody. "It's probably the same now as it was when Ian (Holloway) left last November," said Millen, still adamant he wants the permanent Palace job. "It's the not knowing that's the hardest thing for the players and staff - which direction the club and the chairman want to go in. "Who's going to come in, are we going to play a different way, what sort of structure will we have and as far as staff's concerned what role will we play? "So it's probably the unknown ,the uncertainty, that is the hardest thing to get your head around." Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood ruled himself out of contention for the Palace job after initially being deemed second choice to Mackay. Millen took caretaker charge of Palace when Ian Holloway was sacked in October 2013, until former Stoke boss Pulis arrived. Croydon-born Millen said he hopes his past experiences of temporary management can help Palace gear up to face Allardyce's Hammers this weekend. "From day one we've been favourites to get relegated, so it's always been us against the world if you like anyway," said Millen. "And I think that suits us, we like to be the underdogs, and we like to prove people wrong. "Come Saturday you'll see a united team that will want to get three points for the club. "I think they realise, the lads know that it's no reflection on them, they've done nothing wrong. None of the managers or anyone that's left has been because of the players, and they know that, it's not affected their confidence. "The only question-mark from them is what direction we're going to take now. "The beauty of me being able to continue it is I know what we're good at, so that hasn't caused too much unrest. "We've continued on the lines that I think brings the best out of the players." Scott Dann has an "outside chance" of featuring. Millen will put Dann through a late fitness test as the central defender battles to beat a hip strain in time for the Hammers' visit. Adrian Mariappa trained on Thursday following a rib complaint, while Jonny Williams and Jerome Thomas are also fit to return.

Pretty awesome Ppl think I rlly draw it but I tell them it was this app I hope they get It soon

I'd pay for a stand alone app of the watercolor This is a dandy app, but the ads can be a bit annoying. The really great filters are the watercolor ones. I'd pay for an app that just did the 'watercolor 2' filter effect on images. Shame you can't pay for an ad free version.
Samantha Rose
Excellent app! This very good for people who can't draw very well or want cool new effects for there photos. However, I wish there was more effects. For example, have an effect that makes photos like oil painting or pop art. Maybe even have an effect that makes pics. in the vincent van gogh style. Also having more options for editing the sketch would be good too. :) just some suggestions to think about…

Not An Artist? Not A Problem! The software developers have taken all the perplexities out of sketching, and have given you numerous templates to work with. The only thing you need is an imagination. It is very easy to use, choose a photograph, apply the type of sketch tool you want click the OK button and you are literally done in seconds.
Wonderful! This is absolutely amazing! Great for lazy/impatient people like me who sketch and want quick, yet clean results. I'm a photographer; I make photos (some have meaning while others are just quick shots) and converting them into other mediums is quite fun. All of them are my favorites! My TOP favorites are ColorPencil, ComicB&W, Crayon, Engraving, Gouache, PencilSketch, Print, SimpleSketch, and WaterColor! I really like that this app has sliders! Thank you so much :)
Sketch guru This is one amazing art app. I've been having a lot of fun with this one. It allows me to play with different mediums with the same subject in a matter of seconds. And then storing and printing takes almost no time. I love it. And any one can use it. Even those with no artistic ability. Amazing your friends and families with drawings of cherished memories.
sketch guru Excellent appl. that deserves 5 stars because of simplicity of use and really nice color and b&w effects. Only thing I feel lacking is not being able to change sketch to portrait mode which originally prompted me to give it 4.5 stars. I sincerely hope the developers will take care of it. Thank you developers great job.

Until five years ago, when I was kicked off, whether for being too critical or not being important enough anymore (I had resigned as the Director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute), I was a member of the International Peer Review Committee of Singapore's Urban Redevelopment Agency. Twice, they flew me in as part of a distinguished group (Fumihiko Maki, Oscar Busquets, Moshen Mostafavi, among others) to review their plans. This last week, courtesy of Holcim Concrete's Sustainable Architecture Award program, I was back in the island-state for the first time in four years to see how one of the most obsessively and thoughtfully controlled urban environments is progressing. I would say the results are mixed.
I do not know another organization in the world like the URA. They don't just promote redevelopment. Together with various other ministries and agencies, they plan the future spatial distribution, use, and extension of every aspect of Singapore. At their downtown location, a model of the whole island, continually updated, shows all the plans together. The URA picks some of the brightest students from local schools, and gives them a scholarship to top schools around the world, on the condition that they come back to work there for a number of years. It is a thoughtful organization with huge ambitions. Eventually, the island will grow to have a CBD four times as large as the current one on landfill that will reach out all the way to the Continental Shelf, where the sea drops down to the Marina Trench, the deepest in the world.
This obsessive planning is also the URA's and Singapore's undoing. Their greatest achievement so far is Marina Bay: a landfill that will one day sprout millions of square feet of office and residential towers around a base of culture, public gardens and esplanades, and especially retail. I got to see the first fruits of that investment: the Sands Hotel, Casino, Convention Center, and shopping mall, designed by Moshe Safdie, a cluster of non-descript office towers and hotels, and the beginnings of the Gardens of Marina Bay, a conservatory and park still under construction (I will zero in on that in my next blog).
The buildings are not as bad as I thought they would be, especially the neo-Portman swerves of the three Sands slabs, leaning into each other to support a level of pools and hotels sailing out towards the ocean fifty floors above the ground. The absurdly over-structured pedestrian bridge that connects them to the older bit of landfill, Suntec City, has a certain amount of zany fun to it. The buildings in general lack the banality of most American corporate ventures.
What is missing is a mess. It was my big and obviously ineffective argument when I was on the URA panel: everything was being planned with such efficiency and with such an eye to latest theories of what makes good urban environment that there was no opportunity for chance, ad hoc activities, or the joy of contrasts. An anonymous commenter (why are critics always so afraid to use their names?), pointed out that in my blog last week on London I concentrated only on the playpens of the rich, and that is true. It is also what Singapore wants to become.
Marina Bay is turning into a parade of air conditioned shopping malls and attractions sheltering under a grid of equally isolated objects. What has made Singapore an amazing place, beyond its blissfully soft climate, the mixture of so many cultures in an environment in which the government, for better or worse has controlled the collage to perfection, is turning into a generic real estate development.
Don't get me wrong: it works. Moreover, the notion that it all depends on anti-chewing gum police is absurd. The order is more planned than imposed. Singapore is a lively place. It is becoming –again partially by design, because the planners all read Richard Florida—a creative and gay Mecca. But, if it all turns into Marina Bay, it might as well be Dubai, Las Vegas, or any other planned urban attractor. They just happen to have better chili crabs in Singapore.
As a Singaporean architect (who trained in the States), I think you hit the point spot on. The fact is, Singapore's natural ground up urban fabric (the kind that supports Jane Jacobs' notion of neighbourhoods with diversity of uses and "eyes on the street") has been systematically removed and not replaced. In its place (and for the sake of strategic national development) is a land-reserve system that stores land that is auctioned for the kind of mega mixed-used development that Koolhaas wrote about in his S,M,L,XL essay "The Singapore Songlines". Even restoration of old structures are presented in a form of a commercial retail proposition that only a large-scale commercial developer can take on. For the moment, there lacks a system/mechanism for a kind of bottom-up urban grain to differentiate and manifest itself. Another challenge is that the city planning paradigm of Singapore remains ideologically in the same vein of the 1960s, where the ideal city is planned and generous roads and absence of traffic jams, etc make the city frictionless. Most new lots in Singapore have mandatory provisions for future road expansion, thereby making city-enhancing elements like an urban street wall close to impossible. I believe that the extent to which mega-scale architecture can impress is limited - and Marina Bay Sands is proof of that. (the most talented architect will find his hands full with a project brief for a mega building that ironically makes it difficult for him to design meaningfully)Yet the developmental tendency of Singapore's urban planning paradigm is for larger and larger mega mixed-use development.
Report this as offensive
While I do agree on some points with Mr Betsky's article, there are some things that should be pointed out. Firstly, Singapore is not the only place where such large-scale planning has taken place before, nor will it be the only place in future. Urban history is replete with many examples of this. Look at Europe during the Renaissance, Baroque and later the Modernist periods: Paris was never in the way we see it today until Haussmann decided to design in the boulevards,removing those parts of the old urban fabric of medieval Paris; the same can be said for Rome and other European cities. This period was characterised by immense attention to detail, perfection and symmetry resulting in the mass fabrication of places. But, given time, these places have evolved and we have now come to appreciate them for what they are. Secondly, the idea of messiness, as Mr Betsky has mentioned, is one that is evolved over time. Give Marina Bay some time to take on its identity. I doubt that anyone really fancies the idea of "planned messiness"; the idea in and of itself seems rather philosophically problematic. And lastly, I do wonder if there is a certain notion of "Asian messiness" as the "other"; as the "ideal" which cities should "target" for (as though it could be manufactured). It does reek partly of Orientalism to me.
The Marina Bay Sands development shows signs of URAnic megalomania - it totally overpowers the old city (as does that appalling new cluster of apartments at the junction of Cantonment Road and Neill Road). Looming like a sinister presence, absurd in scale, it cuts the city off completely from the sea, and hence from its history. Singapore's history is based on the sea. Collyer Quay was once a vibrant waterfront. Now the former waterfront is a traffic-dominated hell, no more than one element in a circulation system (a principle that the Formula One track simply takes to extremes ... ) As to those who point to remaining areas of 'mess' in Singapore - these pockets are fast declining, continuously eroded as the wreckers make their relentless way across block after block of low-rise townscape, destroying layer after layer of identity. Just consider the price that's been paid for MRT construction, superb though the system is ... But let us console ourselves: no doubt we can look forward to a "Geylang Heritage Center" (sic), celebrating the "vibrancy" of local tradition with all the authenticity of Temple Street. God help us ...
I hope he was being facetious. But to make sweeping statements on the island/city/country based on one tiny example of Marina Bay sounds quite facetious too. Actually I do agree that Singapore lacks messiness. It's just that the writing is filled with loopholes.
Mr Betsky might have been facetious when he talked about the "marina trench". Clearly, he was not expecting to contend with the literal-minded. As to his point on messiness, I don't see how that that possibly be wrong. Yes, Geylang and Little India are still "messy" but so was Sentosa and look what happened to that. Chinatown and Kampong Glam were also once "messy"; they're now gentrified. So, lots to think about!
Wow, so many errors in one blog post. - There's no continental shelf at Singapore's doorstop. - There's no geogrpahical feature called Marina Trench. - Mariana Trench (if that's what the author is referring to) is in the Pacific Ocean, beyond the Philipines. - The URA is the Urban Redevelopment Authority, not Agency. - Singapore is not Marina Bay. Marina Bay is not Singapore. Dear Mr Betsky, Messiness can be found in Singapore if you dare to venture outside the city, and discover beyond URA's rhetoric, ironically. Heard of Geylang? Little India? Pulau Ubin?
I don't think any author who mixes up the location of the Mariana Trench is at all credible - Singaporean
Just noticed I popped up as "Anonymous". That's because the comment form doesn't have a field to type in a name and it didn't occur to me to type my name into the comment box. - Murli
Love this! Think you're bang-on with your comments, but it's not just urban planning. It's everything in Singapore. Pointed to your blog on mine: http://www.murli.net/greekcomplexity/2011/12/yes-we-need-more-messiness.html

At night she rested her forehead between his collarbones and refused to put her ear to his chest cavity. She said she was afraid to hear his heartbeat.
I am broken inside and I do not want to envy other clockwork organs. Dont let me hear the tick-tock of all that I am missing.
He wrapped his arms around her and whispered into her hair that he would fix her; his skin was punctured with metal and his bones had snapped before, but if he could be whole then so could she. She shook her head and tried to dream. She fell asleep to the words,
Ill collect your pieces, sunshine, and put them back together.
When she fell asleep he pulled back the moonlit sheets and covered her in butterfly-kiss gazes. Her hipbones and ribs were all angles and geometric structures protruding from a flat plane. He tried to will them to life with nervous grazes and stuttering words, but they refused to arch to meet his touch; they did not thrum with racing heartbeats. He pulled his Polaroid from a shelf and began to click away.
He counted the pictures as they slid out from the camera and into a new plane without the mathematical curves that he used to caress during hazy summer days. There were twenty from the tips of her toes to the fine points of her spine to the top of her head. He tried his best not to look at her face as he arranged them on the ground and took an extra picture. He did not shake any of them.
When she woke up in the morning she stayed tucked in the sheets and under his arm. She did not rest her head on his chest and she did not kiss his lips good morning with her sleepy breath. She lay by his side quietly and counted the scars she could see and wondered how he had remained whole after all this time. When he woke up, they did not speak of the pictures until he stepped over them so as not to disturb her sleeping double.
That is not me, she whispered, pointing at the photograph he took.
He hung his head in agony, not shame, and did not move until he looked at her and there was saline threatening to escape the restraints of his eye sockets. He could only croak,
It is me. I gave you my heart so you would no longer be afraid of hearing it beat and you would not be so broken and cold all the time. It will pump blood into even your fingertips and you will not be frigid when I try to be close at night.
When he lay down to sleep that night she did not answer to the call of her name. The picture on the floor lay still as well; it did not make a move to get into bed. There was a rush of wind against the icy window panes and he tried to shake the numb feeling from his toes as he moved all twenty pieces to a space between the covers. He sprawled out next to her and realized, as he began to shiver from the cold, that the twenty-first picture was missing.
Even the clocks on the walls stopped ticking.

We all dream of the day when the IFBB will have a Natural Pro Division, that would give natural competitors at the NPC level, a place to go. By natural, we don't just mean "tested" (e.g. NPC Team Universe), we mean natural - free of AAS; however, the next hurdle involves, what exactly do we consider "natural."
I, for one, believe that a natural bodybuilder, taking pro-hormones, should have no issue competing as such. Prohormones, while very potent, are no where near as powerful as the pharmaceutical agents flooding most NPC shows (beyond Level 3) and throughout the IFBB. Additionally, assuming that any pro-hormone could mimick AAS, a person would have to be popping pills non-stop day and night to get up to the dosages that some bodybuilders shoot up -- not only is it unlikely, it's not practical. If you take prohormones, you're still 100% natural in my book.
I think there are many genetic freaks walking around the gym that would love to compete, but don't want to get annihilated in terms of size and definition [in "open" or "untested" shows]. It used to be, that a natural could upstage a juicer if he came in FREAKY DRY, but even those days are becoming much fewer and far between. I see NO EVIL with AAS - I think they have a far more legitimate claim to be decriminalized and made available to the public (under medical supervision) than Marijuana (any day of the week). However, I'm also keen to the fact that it's just NOT FAIR to have a line up with guys taking roids to grow, then diuretics to get ripped, while the poor bastard that trains off of a bump of creatine and who's living off asparaus to get every last drop of water out of his body is dying because he feels bloated and tiny.
I think companies like IronMagLabs offer the poor bastard (above) some options, which is great news for naturals, but it's still not enough. Another issue, probably the most important (for the promoters), is one that IronMagLabs Nat'l Spokesperson, Aaron Singerman, discussed in his recent interview for StrengthAddicts ( Aaron Singerman of RxMuscle.com - Speaks to - StrengthAddicts.com ).
We should figure out a solution -- one day. The naturals I know, do not want to compete in a crazy federation that has a Wall of Shame (an online, musical list of people that "fail" their ridiculous test). They also don't want to compete in organizations that ban Prohormones, Ephedrine, and even DHEA. DHEA, seriously?! What's next, creatine? Dextrose too?! There's natural and then there's stupid.
Everyone wants to compete on an NPC stage - it's the biggest, baddest show on Earth. Take a champion like Shiloe Steinmetz (NPC Natural Mr. Ohio), he's not only won his state's top title, but he's also won the Heavyweight at Team Universe. Where would Shiloe go if he actually won the TeamU overall and went pro? Has Jeff Willett won any IFBB titles since going pro? And why did Skip LaCour qualify several times at TeamU but never applied for Pro status? In fact, one of the only TeamU winners winning Pro shows, is Kai Greene. I'm sorry, but I have a hunch Kai is no longer NATURAL, lol.
The NPC has a natural circuit, which I believe are essentially feeder shows for Team Universe; however, the Pro ranks offer nothing for those natural champions. These guys (and ladies) are NPC veterans, they don't want to skip out and do battle on a WNBF, MuscleMania, or IFPA stage! We have bodybuilding and physique, why not have a natural division?
Sadly, we need to come back to reality as well. Aaron's point in StrengthAddicts' interview is on point. Will Natural Bodybuilding pay for itself? If not, the last thing the promoters want, is another division that requires subsidies in order to survive.
I believe that in time Natural Bodybuilding will provide sufficient interest to warrant gutsy promoters to take a healthy risk on it. The real deal is getting that MARKETING that only the NPC/IFBB have been able to develop - as being the top dog for so many decades.
The natty federatons (and there's several of them) have taken care of some of the guess work for us. They have proven that natural bodybuilding on its own, can fuel shows, keep a national magazine afloat, and garner interest from the supplement companies for advertising. Now it's a question of whether the Big Fish in the pond wants a bite?
Finally, I believe that Ben Weider's vision for bodybuilding as an Olympic sport, continues to be echoed by many of the sport's most respected champions, journalists, and fans. If and when the NPC/IFBB decides to make this a priority again, it will be a guy like Skip LaCour representing the United States, not Ronnie Coleman. Cheers!

INOVA is recognized as a leader in the development and manufacturing of 'in vitro' diagnostic tests for autoimmune diseases. "For most of INOVA's history, autoimmune diseases were perceived as a relatively small and esoteric segment of the 'in vitro' diagnostic market. Recent scientific discoveries however are finding autoimmune characteristics in many of the more common diseases such as arthritis, liver disease, atherosclerosis, celiac disease and diabetes," said Dr. Walter Binder, INOVA's chief scientist. "Some of these diseases can affect up to one percent or more of the general population. As INOVA develops new tests based on these discoveries, we realize we require greater financial, marketing, and distribution resources to bring these new assays to market. The Werfen Group brings the necessary resources to allow INOVA to continue to aggressively pursue the many growth opportunities for our business segment throughout the world."
Sr. Jose Luis Martin, spokesperson for Werfen, stated; "INOVA's research pipeline and scientific expertise is complementary to Werfen's 'in vitro' test and instrumentation product line. We are excited by the growth prospects for this segment of the medical diagnostic industry and we are ready to assist INOVA in realizing their growth plans. We expect to keep INOVA's research, manufacturing and administrative operations in San Diego and expand them as necessary in that area."
About Werfen Life Group
Werfen was founded in 1966 in Barcelona. The company manufactures and distributes 'in vitro' medical diagnostic solutions, medical devices, and scientific instruments worldwide. Werfen employs more than 3000 people, with 2007 revenues exceeding US$1 billion.
About INOVA Diagnostics

To better Afghanistan, boot the contractors
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai wants private security contractors out of the country. He should go even further, by kicking out all development contractors. Their record of fraud and waste is reason enough. They also undermine NGOs truly helping the Afghan people.
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai recently issued a controversial edict aimed at removing all private security contractors from Afghanistan this fall. Given the mounting evidence of corruption and wrongdoing by US contractors attached to the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the government's main distributor of development contracts, Mr. Karzai for once did the right thing. In fact, he should broaden his edict and remove all development contractors from his country.
Development contracting is government-sponsored stabilization and reconstruction efforts outsourced to private contractors. But from dilapidated schools and unfurnished buildings to billions of dollars charged for projects abandoned before completion, the massive fraud and waste endemic to development contracting in Afghanistan does more than leave American taxpayers ripped off and battered Afghans disappointed. It undermines the efforts of those trying to make a difference: privately-funded humanitarian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
Unfinished projects
Federal prosecutors are investigating US-funded development contractor Louis Berger Group over claims that it submitted inflated invoices to USAID. With the group now managing more than $1.4 billion worth of USAID-funded contracts in Afghanistan, the potential for malfeasance is vast.

Has anyone done one of these? I haven't got my grain mill yet, and thought these would be a good substitute, instead of trying to find places that sell 1/4# grain increments. What efficiency are these kits based on? Is there a good crush on the grains?
AHS has a pretty good crush actually. I currently don't have a mill either and I get all my grain precrushed from them. I'm usually able to hit about 80% efficiency.
Austin Homebrew sells 1/4 lb increments. IRC, they base their efficiency on 70%. Their crush is pretty good, to the point where you can easily hit 70%.
I concur with everyone. I get all my grains from AHS and I've never had a problem with the grains (once or twice I messed up on procedural things). I prefer AHS for a couple reasons: 1. They sell grains in increments smaller than a pound 2. You can get all the grains packaged together in one bag. Makes things easier, especially with large grain bills. I did do one of their kits once and was really impressed with the overall quality of the resulting beer.
Sweet, with hop prices the way they are I think these kit's will be the way to go. I just ordered the ingredients to make Yuri's Floor Kill Ale, right down to the pacman yeast, total $50.99 Grain mill here I come!

I purchased this pendant along with the bowl pendant and flush mount, and the 3 fixtures are lovely! This one is hanging at the top of the stairs, near the dining room and really is a nice addition to a large living space with cathedral ceiling.

- "Yes, I do!"
... Was that right?
She seemed louder all of sudden, than she had before. Or perhaps that was just the quietness of the library making her voice reverberate about them more noticeably. Despite his less than friendly or familiar acknowledgment, she still grabbed at his shirt, trying to impede his progress. He stopped then, not because they were making a scene near the exit of the library (which they were, not that he particularly cared) and not because he'd recalled who she was either. The redhead stared at her hand, and the delicate digits clinging to the material of his shirt as if that would be all it would take to keep him from leaving. He did not lift his gaze until she had completely released the fabric of his clothing, and out of sheer habit, he smoothed it out with a cool flick of his hand.
She seemed to sense his intentions to leave still, because the girl immediately stepped into the midst of his path, to prevent him from doing so. 'Just wait a second', she said. "... What?" he said, an impatience tinging the edges of his tone, fixing her with a look that said he was waiting, but that he wouldn't wait much longer. It was all good and well that Mr. Troy Morison had been so compliant, but it still wasn't the best idea to linger around too long afterward, nevertheless.
"I-I'm Maia."
Ryder crossed his arms, wondering if that was all she'd wanted to say. Alright, Maia. He was on the verge of asking if that was all, on the verge of just shouldering past her, but then she said something a little more interesting. She said she'd known him from back in the government. From back then, how many years had it been? This time, Ryder looked to her - to Maia with a different sort of gaze; the indifference had melted ever so slightly, and he leaned down towards her as if the closeness or her scent would spark something, searching her face with a more aware sense for something recognizable. "Maia," He repeated, only then thinking that she did look somewhat.. more familiar. The slightest inklings of memory filtered through - a stark white room, a loud banging of the walls, a small and quiet voice speaking, and --
"Yeah. Right." Ryder scoffed, straightening his frame to its full height again, giving a small quick shake of the head. "As good as a person can get after all that s**t," he replied, at the same time curious and not curious on as to how she had ended up here as well. She didn't seem too put off, despite the fact that he had not acknowledged her as someone familiar the way she had with him; how she set her gaze unwaveringly on him had told him as much, though. And then she went and asked if he wanted to go have a drink somewhere. "I'm kinda busy here," he said, though it wasn't really true; he had what he'd come for, and the others knew that he'd return whenever he did - with their prize in tow. He laughed a short bark of a laugh though, at Maia's last words. "You sure you got that right? There ain't much I could've done to make it 'okay'."
He would've said more, but something was bothering him. Ryder was not quite sure just what it was, but he knew something was up. He was not the type to question his instincts, which bordered somewhat on that of an animal's, and right now they were telling him to be wary. Attention diverted, he glanced into the library again with a bit of a puzzled frown.
"... Huh. The hell?"

Maybe one of the best ways to convince Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions is to finally stop meddling in their affairs.
But the petroleum industry will never allow for that. They'd rather see us all condemned to live in eternal war and hostility and destruction than to give up an ounce of their ambition to control the world's petroleum resources and transportation routes — anyone or anything in the way is expendable.

Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines Introduces First Spanish Wines To Luxury Portfolio Of Imports For American Wine Drinkers
NAPA, Calif., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning September 1 st, Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines (DC&E) has added two well-regarded Spanish wines to its prestigious portfolio of imports for the American market. DC&E has been granted exclusive US importing rights to Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre from the Toro appellation of Spain. The two wines are a joint venture between world famous consultant and winemaker Michel Rolland, his accomplished Oenologist wife Dany and iconic Bordeaux-based wine maker and global wine innovator Francois Lurton. DC&E began shipping the 2008 Campo Eliseo and 2010 Campo Alegre earlier this month.
Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre have earned very high regard in the beverage press, with the 2008 Campo Eliseo earning 94 points from Wine Spectator and the 2010 Campo Alegre receiving 91 points from the Wine Advocate. Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre are 100% Tinta de Toro, famous for wines of great power, depth and longevity. These wines will be equally enjoyed by those who enjoy top quality Spanish wines as well as wine lovers who appreciate the Rolland/Lurton touch with their wines from California and Bordeaux.
The addition of Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre is part of Diageo Chateau & Estates' strategy to seek out best-in-class wines from the most important wine regions throughout the world. This is DC&E's first foray into the hot and growing category of Spanish wine.
"We are honored to be adding Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre to our luxury import collection," said Claudia Schubert, President, DC&E Wines. "Our import collection includes wines from the most prestigious wine growing regions and producers. Adding Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre expands our portfolio with a great partner and outstanding wines." "We the producers of Campo Eliseo in Toro, are privileged and happy to have Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines as our U.S. importer. We are proud to have our wines among this prestigious portfolio," said Francois Lurton. Campo Eliseo is sourced from 50 to 75 year old vines and is Rolland and Lurton's signature Toro wine. Campo Alegre is the venture's second wine, made from younger vines and lighter in style, but receiving the exact same attention as the Eliseo. Suggested retail price for Campo Eliseo will be about $80/bottle and for Campo Alegre will be about $40/bottle. The wines will be available immediately in the top 20 markets, including New York, Florida, Washington, DC, Texas and California, with availability elsewhere as demand dictates. The DC&E US portfolio is composed of prestigious and historic California properties including Beaulieu Vineyard, Sterling, Provenance, Acacia and Rosenblum Cellars in the Napa Valley as well as Chalone Estate in the central coast. This addition of Campo Eliseo and Campo Alegre expands and rounds out DC&E's prestigious import portfolio including 19 estates in Burgundy (Domaines Pierre Gelin, Georges Roumier, Jean Grivot, Anne Gros, Aurelian Verdet, Tollot-Beaut, Courcel, Pierre Matrot, Blain-Gagnard, Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange, Michel Niellon, Ramonet, Bruno Colin, Philippe Colin, Alain Chavy, Jean-Louis Chavy, Laurent Cognard, Auvigue, and Vocoret), Almaviva from Chile and Navarro Correas from Argentina. DC&E recently added the wines of Domaine Anne Gros in Vosne-Romanee and the Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot wines from the Minervois region of France.

Quick Stats: Art Alexakis multi-platinum rocker of Everclear Daily Drivers: 2009 Infiniti FX35 (Art's rating: 9 on a scale of 1 to 10); 2004 Range Rover HSE (Rating: 5) Favorite road trip: Highway 101 between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo Car he learned to drive in: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro First car bought: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro
On an early Portland morning, Art Alexakis, the force behind rock band Everclear, calls from a 2006 BMW Z4 on the way to rehearsal. Rock and roll is in his blood, and since he was born and raised in Los Angeles, cars are likely part of his DNA.
That day the rocker was ripping through West Hills, the area he wrote about in his hit "I Will Buy You a New Life." The next time we dished about cars, he swapped the Z4 for his current daily driver, a 2009 Infiniti FX35, which he rates a 9.
"I really, really like it, it's a great car," he says of the crossover. "We had a lot of snow for Portland and we live up on the hill and had three feet of snow. It's an all-wheel drive car and without traction devices or studded tires, it did pretty well. Where everybody else was stuck, I was moving around."
Alexakis also made use of Infiniti's adaptive shift control. "I use that when I need to go into low gear and it's pretty responsive, it feels very comfortable and I grew up driving a manual," he says. "I'm getting ready to teach my daughter how to drive and I wish I had a manual transmission car. I might buy something for a couple grand, like an all-wheel Toyota truck and teach her how to drive, because if she can drive that, she can drive anything."
Before the FX35, he had his eye on the BMW X6, but the mileage wasn't as good. "Plus it only fits four and I'm glad we didn't buy it because we need that fifth seat big time."
