I've got a stupid question for everyone. Is it acceptable (and more important - tasty) to substitute Angostura for Peychaud's bitters in a Sazerac cocktail? I've had the hankering to make me one, but I just can't find the Peychaud's. Thanks.
I've got a stupid question for everyone. Is it acceptable (and more important - tasty) to substitute Angostura for Peychaud's bitters in a Sazerac cocktail? I've had the hankering to make me one, but I just can't find the Peychaud's. Thanks.
I don't think you can call it a proper Sazerac without Peychaud's as that's a fundamental ingredient, but I'm sure it will still be tasty drink. I usually use both Peychaud's and Angostura when I make one.
There are multiple purveyors of Peychaud's on-line if you don't mind waiting for shipping.
I use both as well. I saw that recommended somewhere.
In June I was in New Orleans for a few days so I had a few Sazeracs at a few places recommended (Ye Olde Absinthe bar and the Sazerac Bar at the Roosevelt). I was surprised that both places used Herbsaint instead of Absinthe, and when I asked they indicated that Absinthe would be too strong. I got some nice Sazerac glasses at the Sazerac Bar.
And, btw - they used Old Overholt at Ye Olde Absinthe and Sazerac at the Sazerac.
Herbsaint is actually the traditional ingredient in New Orleans. I assume this is because it is local and part of the tradition there. Of course Absinthe was used prior to the ban, and now is being used again, but I'm not at all surprised that NOLA bars are sticking with the local favorite.
I love making Sazeracs and Peychauds is a must..
Also try to get a hold of Sazerac Rye whiskey made by Buffalo Trace to use also.
As for the Herbsaint stuff... well.... to me... I am not into Absinthe. I have tried a few and it is all the same to me cause licorice/anise to me isn't that varied in the nose between brands, and there isn't much more to detect.
In the Sazerac you toss most of it out anyway and just coat the glass.
If you are an Absinthe fiend then by all means find a good one, or the Herbsaint to use (which I don't think you can get outside of NOLA, I know I can't get it where I live), but my suggestion even just use Pernod in a pinch for it (they make a cheap substitute, and also have their own Absinthe but it is PRICEY!).
Don't forget the lemon twist
Cheers! friggin love a classic Saz!

Went out looking for rye and all I could find was Jim Beam and Old Overcoat. I've had Overholt before and wasn't on planning to go down that road again. So I picked up the Beam, which I have to say, isn't bad at all. Absinthe is ridiculously priced so I bought the Pernod. And Pechaud's just isn't available around here, so here's what I did:
Chliled down one old fashioned glass, rinsed it with the Pernod. Teaspoon of sugar and 3 dashes Angostura in the other with a drop of water. Muddled it, Poured in my Beam. Added two cubes and gave it a very quick stir, strained it into the Pernod-rinsed glass, twisted some lemon peel over it. This drink was exquisite. It's an experience, where half of the enjoyment comes from the interaction of the taste and smell. I'm going to have to order some Peychaud's from BT!
Irony of ironies..
I actually was looking for some other obscure cocktail ingredients (don't get me started on Swedish Punsch )... but I found a place to buy Herbsaint online today. I hope these guys are good cause if they are there's a bunch of stuff I wouldn't mind getting from them:
I grabbed some Sazerac rye which is actually made ... by Buffalo Trace
Here's how I like to make mine just like this master here:

The version described using Beam sounds excellent, and some would say Beam bourbon has a rye-like note, so it fits in well there too. The original recipe is variable, and Angostura never can be wrong; still, Peychaud does give a particular flavor to it.

Giants aim to build on win streak against Cubs
It was just one start, but it left an impression. Matt Cain, one of the National League's most consistent pitchers over the last five seasons, got pounded in his last outing, allowing nine earned runs in a 14-3 loss to St. Louis. Cain's first shot at redemption comes Friday against the Cubs, and his start will come with his team on a four-game winning streak.
The Giants have allowed a total of 14 runs in their last four games -- a sweep of Colorado and a win against Chicago in the opener of a four-game set -- and will go into Friday with their offense rolling. The Giants only had one extra-base hit in their 7-6 wins over the Cubs on Thursday, but they scored at least nine runs in two of their three games against Colorado.
Cain threw six scoreless innings in his season debut on Opening Day but wound up with a no-decision, and he gave up nine earned runs in his second start despite not allowing any home runs. The right-hander hadn't given up that many runs since April of the 2008 season -- also against St. Louis, coincidentally -- but he's logged a 3.46 ERA in 35 career April starts.
The Cubs will go with Carlos Villanueva on Friday, and the veteran hopes to build on his strong season debut. Villanueva, a right-hander, worked into the seventh inning and allowed just one earned run against Atlanta. He struck out six batters and walked two, and this will be his first home start with the Cubs.
The Giants have now won eight of their last nine games against the Cubs, and Thursday's victory came with some drama. The Cubs doubled four times and homered in the loss, and they pushed the tying run to second base twice in the eighth inning. Chicago has split its last two games, and Wednesday's finale against the Brewers was rained out.
Shortstop Starlin Castro, who made a key error Thursday -- his third on the season -- has quickly proven to be one of the game's most durable young players. The 23-year-old has played in 205 consecutive games for Chicago, the longest streak in the NL and the second longest in baseball (behind Detroit's Prince Fielder and his 352 consecutive games). Castro has a long way to go to set any team records, though; Hall-of-Famer Billy Williams played in 1,117 consecutive games for Chicago.
The Cubs went 1-6 against San Francisco last year during the Giants' sprint to a World Series championship, but Chicago took five of the nine games played in this series in 2011. The Giants have vaulted to the top of the NL West in the season's first couple weeks -- neck and neck with Arizona -- while the Cubs are fighting to stay afloat in the NL Central.
Giants: Stability paying dividends
The Giants are counting on stability in their bid to become the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the 2000 Yankees. Twenty-one members of San Francisco's 25-man roster played for the Giants at some point last year, and they've been getting contributions from the usual suspects through the first two weeks of the season.
Leadoff man Angel Pagan drove in two runs and is hitting .350, and third baseman Pablo Sandoval doubled home two runs for San Francisco on Thursday. Sandoval is hitting .333 with eight RBIs. Buster Posey, the reigning NL MVP, has started slow for the Giants with a .242 average and no home runs in nine games.
Cubs: Schierholtz surprises
Nate Schierholtz has been one of the league's surprise hitters over the last two weeks, and he delivered three hits out of the No. 5 slot in the lineup for the Cubs on Thursday. Schierholtz, a career .270 hitter, is batting .370 through his first eight games of the season. Schierholtz, a seven-year veteran, has never gotten more than 350 at-bats in a season.
The former second-round draftee signed with the Cubs in the offseason and has had three multi-hit games in the last week. Schierholtz has gone hitless in just two games this season, and one of those was a pinch-hit appearance.
Worth noting
• The Giants are in a stretch of five straight day games for the first time since the 1996 season.
• Thursday's series opener marked the earliest in the year that the Giants and Cubs have ever met at Wrigley Field. Prior to that date, the earliest visit to Wrigley for the Giants was April 13, 1963.
• The Giants have grounded into 12 double plays, most in the NL.

A Gunbai (軍配, Gunbai, Literally meaning: army arrangement) or Gunbai Uchiwa (軍配団扇, Gunbai Uchiwa, Literally meaning: army arrangement fan) is a non-folding fan, usually made of wood. It was used in ancient Japan by samurai officers to communicate with their troops. Nowadays, it is used by referees of professional sumō matches.
Madara Uchiha during his lifetime was famed for the use of this fan in battle. Obito Uchiha would later wield this fan while posing as the legendary Uchiha, before returning it to his reincarnated ancestor during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[1] It is a wide fan with tomoe on it and has a long handle with bandages wrapped around the base, as well as having a long chain attached to it. In the past, when Madara used it, it was brown with a black border, with red tomoe, and a chain was attached to the handle that appears to have been connected to his kama.[2][3][4] When Obito started using it, it was depicted as having a purple tint with a black border, and tomoe design on it, with the chain appearing to enter his sleeve.[5] During the Third Shinobi World War it was seen hanging on a wall inside the caverns of the Mountains' Graveyard.[6]
Obito wielded the gunbai predominantly like a flail using the chain attached to guide the fan which he can use also as a shield because of its durability, as it was able to block Naruto's Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball without receiving any noticeable damage.[7] Madara also wielded it, both as a shield and as a mace in conjunction with his kama, and it also allowed him to perform various techniques.
Utilised Techniques
- In the anime cut-scene of Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, Madara is seen using his gunbai to create powerful gusts of wind, capable of blocking projectiles and blowing enemies away, as well as a melee weapon in combination with his kama.

The Votes Are In!
Last Updated on Tuesday, 02 April 2013 13:43
Without further ado, by popular vote the new team names will be… COLORS! …And since we are a trailblazing, international club, we are adding our own unique twist: The colors below all represent the Rush brand along with the diversity of the players who make up Rush Soccer.
- Rush (ex: "Colorado Rush U17 Girls," "SoCal Rush '99 Boys," etc."
- Nero (old Swoosh team, it means "Black" in Italian; ex: "Virginia Rush Nero" Pronounced: neh-ro, not nee-ro)
- Azul (3rd team, meaning "Blue" in Spanish Pronounced: ah-zool)
- Cinza (4th team, meaning "Grey" in Portuguese" Pronounced: Seen-sa)
- Weiβ (5th team, meaning "White" in German, Pronounced "vice")
Thank you for all your input and support moving forward. This is a great opportunity to differentiate our brand even more and allow Rush to move forward and expand. We hope you are excited to embrace these new names and represent the Rush well!

GRE vs. No GRE
GRE vs. No GRE (Chapter 5)
There are a number of advantages to taking the GRE, but if you do not do well on standardized tests, then having to take one can be discouraging.
For a lot of schools and programs, the GRE is a required part of the application. For others, the GRE requirement will be waived if your undergraduate GPA is at a certain average or better. And there are masters degree programs that do not require you to take any standardized test, so do some research and see what the requirements are for the types of programs you are interested in. The necessity of the GRE really depends on the schools and programs to which you are applying, and whether or not you need outside funding. Once you have determined those things, you can decide if the GRE is necessary for you to pursue a masters degree.
GRE Basics
You can take the GRE revised general test once every 60 days and no more than 5 times in a calendar year. In 2012, the cost of the GRE revised general test is $160 in the U.S. and its territories. Outside of the U.S., it is $190. There are a variety of additional fees for late registration ($25), location changes ($50), and rescheduling ($50). The GRE is widely offered as a computer test, but you may also take a paper test, depending on your location. There are hundreds of test centers in the U.S. and it is offered every few months on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can register for the exam here. Test takers with disabilities can request accommodation, but make sure to give yourself extra time to make the request and receive the decision, since you cannot register for the GRE before receiving the accommodations. The form to request accommodations for people with disabilities can be found here.
GRE Revised General Test
In August 2011, the GRE general test was replaced by the GRE revised general test. The exam was revised to be more test taker friendly, but the structure of the test is largely the same. There are 3 sections: verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing. In the revised exam, there are new kinds of questions that are supposed to better reflect the kind of thinking you will do as a graduate student. Along with the new format and new kinds of questions, the GRE revised general test also has a new scale of scoring. GRE scores are valid for 5 years, including those taken prior to the revision. However, verify with the individual programs to which you are applying to double check that they will accept the test scores that you submit.
- Verbal Reasoning - The verbal reasoning section assesses your ability to analyze and evaluate written material, to synthesize information and to analyze relationships between concepts. These abilities are tested through 3 types of questions: reading comprehension, text completion and sentence equivalence. As with any standardized test, 1 of the best study tips is to start early, create a schedule and stick to it. Work on improving and expanding your vocabulary and familiarize yourself with the verbal reasoning questions, especially the new multiple choice questions. In addition to standard multiple choice questions that ask you to select 1 answer, the new questions ask you to choose all of the answers that may be correct. For the reading comprehension questions, train yourself to read the questions and possible answers before you read the passages. This will help focus and choose what to pay the most attention to in each passage.
- Quantitative Reasoning - The quantitative reasoning section assesses your ability to demonstrate basic mathematical skills and to understand elementary mathematical concepts. It also gauges how well you model and solve problems with quantitative methods. These abilities are tested in 4 sections: arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis. To study for this section, you should familiarize yourself with the types of questions asked, and pay special attention to the new multiple choice questions. Like the new multiple choice questions in the verbal reasoning section, these questions ask you to choose all of the answers that may be correct in each question, rather than only choosing 1. You should also use scratch paper and allow yourself to spend more time working on the problems that you find most challenging.
- Analytical Writing - The analytical writing section of the GRE revised general test is scored separately from the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections, meaning that it stands alone and that admissions committees will see and judge it alone. This section assesses your ability to think critically and write analytically, to articulate and support complex ideas, to build and evaluate arguments and to sustain a focused and coherent discussion. You will be asked to write 2 essays, 1 in which you analyze an issue, and 1 in which you analyze an argument. To prepare for the analytical writing section, you should familiarize yourself with the skills that you will be tested on. It is important you review sample topics and to write practice essays.
Subject Tests
The GRE offers 8 subject tests, which can be taken to demonstrate content knowledge in specific disciplines. Some schools and programs require you to take these subject tests while others do not. Even if they are not required, subject tests can provide admissions committees with an additional dimension to your application.
Unlike the GRE revised general test, the GRE subject tests are only offered at test centers 3 times per year, in October, November, and April. The base fee for a subject test is $140, though there are additional fees to change the date or place of the test. GRE subject tests are offered in:
- Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology - This subject test has approximately 175 multiple choice questions based on 3 fields: biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology and genetics. Many of the questions focus on problem solving skills, methodology and data interpretation. Because undergraduate curricula in these topics can vary, few test takers will have knowledge of every topic covered in the test. In addition to the overall score, each field will generate a subscore.
- Biology - This subject test has approximately 200 multiple choice questions based on 3 fields: cellular and molecular biology, organismal biology, and ecology and evolution. Many of the questions are grouped in sets and based on descriptions of laboratory and field situations, diagrams and experimental results. In addition to the overall score, each field will generate a subscore.
- Chemistry - This subject test has approximately 130 multiple choice questions and covers 4 fields of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic and physical. Test takers are provided with a periodic table and some conversion factors for the International System of Units (SI). Although this exam covers 4 fields of chemistry, some questions may address more than 1 field. There are no subscores for this exam.
- Computer Science - This subject test has approximately 70 multiple choice questions and covers 4 fields of computer science: software systems and methodology, computer organization and architecture, theory and mathematical background and related topics. Some of the questions are grouped in sets and based on diagrams, graphs and program fragments. There are no subscores for this exam.
- Literature in English - This subject test has approximately 230 multiple choice questions on poetry, drama, biography, the essay, the short story, the novel, criticism, literary theory and the history of language with an emphasis on authors, works, genres and movements. The test breaks down into 4 fields: literary analysis, identification, cultural and historical contexts and the history and theory of literary criticism. There are no subscores for this exam.
- Mathematics - This subject test has approximately 66 multiple choice questions based on several fields of mathematics. About 50% of the questions cover calculus and its applications, while 25% cover elementary algebra, linear algebra, abstract algebra and number theory. The remaining 25% of the questions cover other subtopics, such as real analysis introduction, discrete mathematics, geometry, probability and statistics. There are no subscores for this exam.
- Physics - This subject test has approximately 100 multiple choice questions and is meant to determine the extent of the test taker's understanding of the fundamental principles of physics and their ability to use these concepts to solve problems. The questions are designed to cover curricula typically learned in the first 3 years of undergraduate physics. The fields tested include classical mechanics, electromagnetism, optics and wave phenomena, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, atomic physics, special relativity, laboratory methods and specialized topics. There are no subscores for this exam.
- Psychology - This subject test has approximately 205 multiple choice questions and covers the core knowledge learned in undergraduate psychology in 3 fields: experimental or natural science, social psychology or social science and general knowledge. The experimental or natural science field focuses on learning, language, memory, thinking, sensation and perception, physical psychology and behavioral-neurological psychology. The social psychology and social science field emphasizes clinical psychology, abnormal psychology and personality. In the general field, the history of psychology, applied psychology, psychometrics, research design and statistics are covered. The first 2 fields generate subscores for this test, but the general knowledge field only counts toward the overall score.
GRE Scores
GRE scores are just another way for graduate admissions and scholarship committees to measure you against other candidates. Depending on what the rest of your application looks like, the GRE can help, hurt or make no difference in whether or not you will be accepted into a program. Many funding opportunities are based on your GRE scores, so if you are dependent on outside funding for school, start studying as soon as possible. For the GRE taken prior to August 2011, the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections are scored on 200-800 point scale in 10-point increments.
For the GRE revised general test taken in August 2011 and after, the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections are scored on a 130-170 scale in 1-point increments. The analytical writing section is scored on the same scale for both the GRE and the GRE revised general test from 0 to 6 in half point increments. Educational Testing Services (ETS) provides a helpful conversion chartfor scores from the old GRE and the revised GRE.It is difficult to determine what makes a good GRE score, especially since different schools and programs have different admissions standards. However, the averages from 2007 to 2010 were:
- Verbal: 456 (revised GRE conversion: 151)
- Quantitative: 590 (revised GRE conversion: 159)
- Writing: 3.8 (same score for revised GRE)
Check with the schools that you are applying to and see if they list an average or a minimum score for admitted students.
GRE subject tests are scored on a scale from 200 to 990 in 10-point increments. Subscores range from 20 to 99 in 1-point increments. As with the general test, it is difficult to determine what makes a good score. Each subject test has a different average and scores from different subject tests should not be compared with each other. For example, a 600 in biology is not the same as a 600 in physics.
You may cancel your test scores at the computer test-taking facility, but if you decline to do so at that time, you cannot cancel your scores later. You are also not able to cancel 1 section's scores (e.g. quantitative reasoning) and keep scores from another section (e.g. verbal reasoning). That said, you may retake the GRE general and subject tests multiple times in 1 year.
If you choose not to cancel your scores at the test-taking facility, and opt to sit for the test again, all of your scores from the previous 5 years will be reported.
Test Preparation
There are several ways in which you can prepare for the GRE revised general test and for the GRE subject tests. If learning independently works for you, the GRE website has free preparation guides available for download on their website. You can also purchase test prep guides from bookstores, or borrow from libraries. Make sure that the books are for the newly revised test!
Test preparation courses for the GRE and other standardized tests, like those offered by Kaplan and Princeton Review, can be very expensive but very effective. Alternatively, some colleges and universities offer similarly styled GRE prep courses but at a much lower cost. Regardless of which method of test prep you choose, you should start studying as early as possible and take at least 1 full practice exam before sitting for the actual test.

Regional President of Special Olympics Europe Eurasia, Mary Davis, has welcomed the resignation of Collin Brewer from his position as Councillor with Cornwall Council, UK.
European Regional President of Special Olympics Mary Davis (above) welcomes Collin Brewer's resignation. She believes he has insulted millions of people with disabilities across the world with comments founded in ignornace.
'The horrific comments made by Cllr Collin Brewer displayed an ignorance on an unimaginable scale and his refusal to step down at an earlier date has compounded the distress he has caused,' stated Mary Davis, Regional President Special Olympics Europe Eurasia.
Special Olympics is the world's largest organisation dedicated to empowering children and adults with intellectual disabilities through sport while changing attitudes and providing healthcare for more than four million athletes in 175 countries.
'The shocking comments by Cllr Brewer are indicative of a mind-set that has no place in a civilised and inclusive society. It is truly frightening that any person should hold such an attitude and it makes it even more sickening that it is a public representative. The bedrock of public service requires Cllr Brewer - as an elected politician - to represent all members of our society equally. He degraded, insulted and failed not just the many people in his own constituency living with a disability and their families but hundreds of millions of people with disabilities and their families across the world. His job as a public representative should have been over when he made those comments however I welcome his belated resignation statement today,' concluded Mary Davis, Regional President, Special Olympics Europe Eurasia.

THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED THIS SUMMER and all cited violators WILL be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Also, non-members of the CSK Tribes should be aware of Ordinance 43b, paragraph 8, which says they can't operate any kind of games of chance (card or stickgames, for example) at the pow-wow.

Love These Pants
I love these pants! I would buy them in every color if they were available at this time! I love the wide waistband, buttons on the side, and the fact that there are no belt loops!
September 28, 2013
beatifull item
Fit's perfect, light weight, I 'been buying product's from The Limited from long time, and every single item , its just amazing.
Thank you , and hope will do more business in the future..
September 15, 2013
Another perfect pair of Drew pants
The Limited Drew bootcut pants are my favorite work pants. I am 5'4" 135 lbs and the size 6 fits perfectly with heels. The material of these pants is high quality and suitable for year-round use - not too thin, not too heavy. These particular Drew pants fit slightly looser than other Drew pants I have, which is just right because some of the Drew pants are too tight in the rear. I would recommend these pants for work, they fit true to size and are comfortable, versatile, and flattering.
September 13, 2013
Fit different in every color - must try on beore p
While I love the Drew Button Tab boot cut pants in tan/beige, the navy ones that I recently purchased online (same size, cut, etc. as the tan ones) fit completely different.
The pants are great and the 'short' size is the perfect length for me....but a little consistency across the Drew line of pants would be nice. I'd definitely be willing to spend the money on these pants again if they were more consistent and I could be confident in what I was going to receive. However, I'm not sure I'll be purchasing another pair online.....
July 31, 2013
Great work pants
Once again, the Drew pant does not disappoint. Ordered these pants online because the short length was not available in the store.....fit is great although the waist is slightly larger than other Drew pants that I have but overall it is not a big deal. These are perfect pants to wear to work and out afterwards!
July 3, 2013
Great for the right body shape
Here's what I loved:
The material & the way it was shipped. I received the item quickly and I love how it comes nicely wrapped in tissue paper with the invoice & return ticket in a sleek black folder.
Here's what I didn't like:
The fit was not right for my body shape. The pants were tight in the thighs, but too big in the waist. There was a gap in the back at the waist and they were not flattering on me. I do believe, however, with the right body shape, they would be wonderful slacks.
June 24, 2013
Perfect light pant for summer weather. Nice navy color, for a professional look.
June 22, 2013
Tighter than usual
I accidentally purchased these in navy, but they're so dark I might even prefer them to my usual black! I used to wear the Drew Black Collection Boot-Cut style but figured I'd try this style out and they're super cute. Size is a speck tighter fitting than other styles but I think they're a great buy- very feminine and the buttons are a cute detail.

Skylight Music Theatre finds heart, hope with 'In the Heights'
In the Act 1 finale for "In the Heights" — which opened Friday night at Skylight Music Theatre, under the direction of Ragnar Conde (stage) and Jeff Schaetzke (music) — a nighttime power blackout sends a careening Washington Heights barrio toward the brink.
It's the beginning of the Fourth of July weekend, but freedom and independence seem further than ever for the barrio's residents, each of whose All-American dreams have curdled faster than the soured milk in the local bodega — where the refrigerator is on the fritz and the owner is in a funk. »Read Full Article
MSO program blends different sounds with shared roots
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra held a musical reunion of sorts Friday evening at the Marcus Center, performing music of Leonard Bernstein, Lukas Foss and Samuel Barber.
The three composers, who were trained within a relatively small window of time at the Curtis Institute of Music, wrote with distinct and disparate voices. Their music — programmed for a single concert and conducted by another Curtis alum, MSO associate conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong — was a fascinating look at the variety of style in American orchestral music of the 20th century. »Read Full Article

GMC has always seemed a bit on the periphery not only of General Motors but of the entire automobile business. However, as one of GM's brand survivors after the 2009 bailout, GMC has assumed a position of much greater relative importance than before, having the purest identification with GM's important truck and SUV business. That's appropriate in part because GMC began in 1901 as the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, which developed some of the earliest commercial trucks ever designed. GM bought Rapid in 1909 to form the basis for General Motors Truck Co. Over the next 60 years, GMC Truck became a heavy-vehicle commercial powerhouse, producing millions of military trucks, other heavy fleet trucks and buses. GM got out of the bus business in the Eighties. Thereafter, it focused more on integrating GMC into GM's consumer brand architecture. When pickup-truck and SUV sales boomed in the Nineties, GMC stepped up to help the parent company lead those segments with important models such as the Sierra pickup and Yukon and Envoy SUVs. Most recently, GMC has been introducing vehicles increasingly built around its unique brand positioning -- rugged but somewhat upscale, and aimed in large part at the professional buyer. Acadia became GMC's first unibody vehicle in 2007, and the all-new Terrain crossover bowed in 2009.

When doing this kind of tests, I believe "timed kernel compilation" should be set apart from other benchmarks.
You see, while less is better is what we're after, new compiler versions tend to run more optimizations for the same code. So even if the time goes up, if the resulting executable is faster, it's still a win. The current layout of the article does not highlight this particularity at all.
Jut thought I'd throw my two cents in here.

Jeter, Ibanez slug Yankees past Angels
NEW YORK -- The Yankees craned their necks in unison to watch Raul Ibanez's blast rattle around in the suite level of Yankee Stadium, gaining entry into a rarely reached part of the ballpark, and the shot seemed a fitting conclusion on a night when the lineup worked as it should.
Ibanez's eighth-inning homer was only the icing on an evening when Derek Jeter clubbed a three-run shot and slumping Mark Teixeira came alive with a run-scoring double, backing Ivan Nova as the Yankees defeated the Angels, 11-5, on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. "We have a good lineup. It's not always going to be like this," Jeter said. "There's a lot of good lineups, and one through nine, when teams are swinging the bats well, they're going to look good. Tonight we looked good." All players wore No. 42 in the contest, which followed a pregame ceremony that included Jackie Robinson's widow, Rachel, on the 65th anniversary of the breaking of baseball's color barrier. The Bombers' four-run third inning sent Angels starter Jerome Williams to an early exit, while Jeter clubbed a line drive into the right-field seats off Hisanori Takahashi in the fourth inning, opening up a seven-run lead at the time. "He's looking good," Robinson Cano said of Jeter. "I'm happy. People keep talking about his age [37] and all that. I like seeing him get off to a good start." Jeter's shot provided Nova with a large cushion to cruise toward his second victory of the year, and it proved handy, because the right-hander was masking a nasty cold and fever that had bugged him since his last start, five days ago in Baltimore. "I couldn't really sleep last night," said Nova, who held the Angels to four runs in six innings. "When it was time to come to the ballpark, everything changed. I like this game so much; I like to pitch. Every time I can do it, man, it's got to be something really, really bad if I can't." The Angels made it a three-run game by the seventh, when Albert Pujols knocked in a run with a single off an ineffective Rafael Soriano, but David Robertson bailed the Yankees out of a bases-loaded jam to escape the inning. "I was very fortunate," Robertson said. "They're always challenging. You're just hoping to come out of the situation unscathed and give your club a chance to win." The outcome seemed in hand by the time Ibanez dug in against Jason Isringhausen in the eighth, slugging a dead-red fastball into the seating area just underneath the upper deck in right field. Angels outfielder Torii Hunter mouthed the word, "Wow," after the tape-measure blast, which just missed joining a Russell Branyan blast as the only one to hit the upper deck of the new Yankee Stadium. Ibanez was mobbed by his teammates in the dugout after circling the bases. "It definitely feels good, especially when you help the team win," Ibanez said. "It's great. They're a great group of guys. They were very complimentary, but the most important thing is that we pulled the win off." The victory confirmed that, coming off a 16-win campaign last season, Nova has run his unbeaten streak to 14 consecutive regular-season decisions dating back to June 10. He scattered eight hits in the effort while striking out eight. "I'm not worried about winning streaks," Nova said. "I'm just worried about taking the ball every five days and winning." Mark Trumbo slugged a solo homer, his second, into the Angels' bullpen in the second inning. Chris Iannetta added his second two-run homer of the series in the fourth, a line drive that just cleared the right-field wall. Maicer Izturis knocked in the fourth Angels run with a double off Nova in the sixth, the right-hander's final inning. Nova threw 102 pitches, walking two. "He has an electric fastball, throws you breaking balls for a strike," the Angels' Howie Kendrick said. "He knows how to pitch for a young guy coming to the Major Leagues. He pounds the strike zone and he can get you to chase things out of the strike zone also." Facing Williams, who made his first start of the 2012 season after starting the year on the disabled list with a strained hamstring,Ibanez started the Yankees offense with a second-inning RBI single and Alex Rodriguez added an RBI hit in the third. Teixeira, who entered the game hitting just .188, banged a run-scoring double off the right-field wall before Nick Swisher chased Williams with a sacrifice fly. Williams was smoked for five runs in 2 2/3 innings, tossing just 47 pitches as he walked three and struck out one. "I think everyone in here already knows the types of things this lineup is capable of doing," said Swisher, who added an RBI single in the seventh off David Carpenter. "On paper, we look pretty good. Then again, you've got to go out and make it happen. Tonight was good for us."Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com. Follow him on Twitter @bryanhoch and read his MLBlog, Bombers Beat.

I think all of us making points in this debate are making politically-based arguments. And that's fine - it's a political issue. I think those who have given facially apolitical rationales for the fact that Flatt has been given more assignments to SA than Nagasu are right. I think those who say that indirect forms of racism might be involved in the decision might be right as well. (I don't mean to attribute views to anyone specifically, BTW.)
These explanations are not mutually exclusive! The exclusion of Nagasu (who does not look "American enough" from the perspective of the USFSA to represent the USA at Skate America) is overdetermined.
More broadly, it is my view that it is darn implausible to say issues related race never at least subconsciously make their way into USFSA decisions. (I'm thinking of debates we had here early this year about Dornbush being assigned to 4CC over Mahbanoozadeh.)
ETA: Pre-emptorily, denying that there are political issues in figure skating, or that figure skating is not the place to discuss politics, is itself to articulate a political position. My panties are not in a wad.

I see your point, Nigel, but I worry that what will promote the popularity of the sport (i.e., what will generate profit) is contrary to athletic excellence, "artistic" value (insofar as figure skating can be considered artistic -- whatever its aesthetic value is), and fundamental fairness.
For example, I keep wondering why so many think Gracie Gold is the next huge thing. It doesn't seem to be based on competition results, this year or last. I keep wondering to myself: what does Gracie Gold have that didn't cause this kind of excitement in all of the other post-Sasha contenders? Why is she the IT girl? I am not disparaging GG; just wondering why, based on what we know so far, anyone thinks she will amount to more than Alissa Czisny, Caroline Zhang, Rachael Flatt, Mirai Nagasu, Ashley Wagner, Agnes Zawadzki, or Christina Gao (and, oh yeah, Kimmie Meissner). It may be desperate optimism, but I think there is more to it. I think Gold shares features with Flatt (but to a greater extent) that make her profitable as a USFSA "star."
Anyway...just raising the question of whether USFSA (or anyone) can promote the popularity of figure skating and the "goodness" of figure skating at the same time. I think the latter is more important, insofar as the sport remains sustainable.

Gracie has shown the ability to land triple Lutz/triple toe and triple flip/triple toe combinations with some consistency. I think the excitement around her boils down to that. Most of the other post-Sasha contenders have either never landed those combos in competition or have not landed them consistently or correctly. I think that's the difference. In the wake of Yu-Na Kim's World and Olympic victories, won in large part due to the consistency of her triple Lutz/triple toe, everyone knows how important those combinations are.
In my mind, Gold demonstrates strong work ethic and awareness. The way she handled herself after missing Nationals two seasons ago was quite remarkable. She took a reading of her circumstances and worked to improve them. More generally, she has a skill set of jumps that none of the ladies you mention really have. It's notable
Absolutely, they can. In the past, the sport was sold as a melodrama. There were media studies that examined that exact same thing - selling the more pageant like aspects of the entertainment. I think a determined effort could be made my the sporting consortiums (this includes the media, to be honest). It won't be as popular as before - but it can be successful and more popular than it currently is.Anyway...just raising the question of whether USFSA (or anyone) can promote the popularity of figure skating and the "goodness" of figure skating at the same time.

That's fine. The idea of marketing is to consider the tastes and trends of a a targeted market segment and not your own personal tastes.
It's not about "me, me, me" but more like "them, them, them."
BTW, DWTS has it's own thread at GS so there is obvioulsy a strong crossover appeal between dancing and skating.
DWTS has also had a few skaters on the show and hasn't Mark Ballas done some skating choreo? For Evan maybe - or SOI?
Is it too much to think many of the folks who watch DWTS might have some interest in skating - and more specifically Ice dancing?
As to "what's in it for ABC" I would say that is a false premise. They look at things on a show by basis as well as the big picture. To assume a D/W segment would not be a good addition to one of the weekly shows could be researched but I think most data would show a very positive appeal.
Earlier you brought up ABC would not want to help NBC. I think that is not quite applicable here.
Over the years thousands of TV stars and personalities have appeared on rival networks. ABC star Regis Phibin was a constant guest on the CBS Letterman show over the years. I recall an ABC/ESPN analyst named Dick Button appearing on NBC Olympic broadcasts in the past.
What was in it for ABC? If nothing else a future favor. Think of networks like skating federations - and then think of all the dealing that goes on.
BTW, is it so hard for you to imagine that in the future D/W might do some work for Disney? Maybe appear in an ice show or whatever? If D/W win in Sochi they will have many opportunities to consider.
I mentioned Gabby and the girls appeared on Letterman which is not an NBC show.
To ask "what was in it for NBC" is really not an issue.

Math, you are not a casual fan of figure skating. I'm not either. No one who posts on a figure skating board is a casual fan, I think. Besides, Takahashi and Hanyu are mega stars already. NHK is not trying to make a star who was not a star already when they put several of their top guns in the event.
I'm very interested in watching Skate America this time, more than usual, because Jeremy Abbott will be there the first time ever at SA. I will be very interested in it with or without Evan Lysacek's appearence. Maybe somebodies love to follow Lysacek. So Lysacek's appearence in SA is important to bring their attention. Maybe somebodies love to follow the reigning Nationals ladies Champion Ashley Wagner. So Wagner's appearence in SA is important to them. But these skaters have to become a star before they can attract more fans. How to become a star? Winning! Win more! Win big! Win on the international stage.
Forget skating boards. I'm talking about USFS promotion/exposure, features in print media, etc. There are skaters (like those named earlier) who get significantly more attention than would be normal based on their actual accomplishments.
Second - the lack of promotion is killing skating. IMO there is nowhere near enough promotion of skating in USA...
Now this I can agree with.
But...I don't think the answer is to "put all your eggs in the Skater X basket, hoping she'll turn out to be a star". Sometimes I feel USFS does just this, and it often backfires.
Instead...you have to look at who you already have...who is currently doing well and who has a solid fan base, and find a way to promote them. More should be done on the grassroots level, to encourage young kids to try it. More should be done, perhaps, to help those who have the talent and drive, but are struggling financially to make it work.

No, no one uses words that would actively and intentionally push the listeners and viewers away in promo no matter what, whether she was just a 2010 Nationals champion but no other big accomplishment or she was a reigning Nationals champion. The promoters will find as much as possible the good words for their attendents. Your example is just the one you made up. It can never happen in the real world under any situation.
I agree with what you wrote here and your points are good and also fair.
Remember this:
Did this hurt Sarah in SLC? How many think Sarah's thoughts as she took the ice in SLC were "I hope I can live up to the hype" ?
Obviously she was very focused the night of the LP.
What about Kwan? Was it hype and high expectations that were repsonsible for her not winning in SLC?
Perhaps -but there were undoubtably some major internal issues surrounding Michelle that were in play at SLC.
Was Michelle on the cover of Sports Illustrated's special Olympic Issue and did this cause her to lose in SLC?
I don't know the answers but feel sure she was beaten that night by Sarah's "skate of a lifetime" performance.
For any athlete to be successful they must learn to deal with pressure. We hear "no guts, no glory" alot and I could add to this "no hype, who would care."
Skating like any sport needs promotion and yes, some hyping of skaters to help create the stars every sport needs to keep it in the spotlight.
I mentioned Gracie should be at SA this season and offered reasons why.
Is this putting undue pressure on a skater?
Gracie will have to skate at Natls - an event with much more pressure than SA.
Why is one event OK - but not the other
I think introducing race and racism in this case is quite a lengthy stretch. No, I don't think it is involved.
Because, like USFSA, the skating fans are desperate in finding a future US star, too.
By the way, I've gotten these from a friend. It's interesting to know. So I've copied them here just FYI:
An article from a marketing journal - Scarborough Sports Marketing defines "Avid Fans" as consumers who are "very interested" and "Fans" as respondents who are "very, somewhat or a little interested" in a given sport.
Scarborough Sports Marketing further noted that American sports fans have been opening their minds and wallets to a host of diverse sports. Avid Fans of these sports are often characterized by distinct audience demographics. For instance, 73 percent of Avid Gymnastics Fans are female and 81 percent of Avid Figure Skating Fans are female. This is a unique demographic makeup since Avid Fans of sports like the Olympics, Women's Tennis and the WNBA classically "female friendly" sports are only about 50 percent female. This notable demographic base helps explain findings such as: Gymnastics Fans are 53 percent more likely than all American adults to schedule a spa day, 30 percent more likely to visit a jewelry store and 33 percent more likely to visit a bridal store. Similarly, Figure Skating Fans are 28 percent more likely to visit a florist and 27 percent more likely to visit a dry cleaner.Physics/Biomechanics - Television can't give you the sense of speed-or danger-that is apparent here. Nor can it give you a sense of how difficult it is to break into the top ranks. (Television does well in the drama department, however: Its coverage of the Nancy KerriganTonya Harding scandal back in 1994 is widely credited with raising Americans' interest in figure skating.)

Reading through the last few posts made me wonder about the following:
Who is more "desperate" for a US Lady skating star?
Is it US Skating?
or is it US skating fans?
I am not sure ........
and wonder if it is really same question
If a star were to appear on the scene would it change much?

ABC would most likely find that featuring Davis and White in order to promote Skate America, which is being broadcast by NBC to be a conflict of interests. The idea that anyone would be paid to appear on a network to promote an event another network has rights to seems very unlikely.
The comparison to the Fierce Five doesn't work, because the Fierce Five became an asset to any show by winning the Olympics and becoming famous. If Davis and White win the Olympics, then they will be more likely to appear on all sorts of shows across networks. They'll be more likely to be invited on these shows even before the Olympics in Sochi, I imagine, during the pre-Olympic hype. That, however, is two years away. Also, it probably won't have a lot to do with the USFSA asking for them to be included- rather, it would be initiated by the producers of the shows. Any time the USFSA is asking if their skaters can appear on a show they can expect to pay for that right unless they are negotiating a broadcast deal, and NBC already has those rights. There may also be a conflict between NBC's deal with the USFSA and the ability to ask other networks to promote their skaters.
As for the pressure, I totally agree that skaters will have to deal with pressure to get anywhere in the sport. Hyping somebody up as being the person who will probably beat the national champion is a bit far, though. It puts a very specific expectation on a skater that could be a blow to their psyche should they fail to accomplish as much. It's also very unfair to the national champion who, by virtue of winning, has earned the right to be heralded as the current best the US has to offer. Billing Gracie as the best (and saying that she'll become better than the national champion is doing so) is probably confusing to many fans who might want to cheer for the skater who was ready to earn the title- a title that some seem to want to hand to Gracie with no results. Also, as I already mentioned, sending two of your best skaters to the same event makes it less likely that both will qualify for the final. That would also be unfair to one of the skaters. They'll face off at nationals, and if they both have good Grand Prixs, then that can build more hype for Nationals, which is the bigger event. If they don't, then the USFSA can find another aspect to hype without having blown their marketing plan with one event.
I do agree that skating needs more exposure in general, but I think that it's 1)harder than we think and 2)needs to be the right type of exposure. In 2006 I thought prospects were bright for the future of figure skating with skating movies coming out and the Ice Diaries and Skating with Celebrities shows. Somehow the general public seems to have a reduced opinion of skating after all that, though. Maybe the Disney version of skating (you can learn to do a triple in a year!?!!!!) didn't sell? Maybe the pageant-like aspects of the sport have turned some people off? Or maybe the USFSA entered into a really bad broadcasting agreement with NBC that truly fails to promote the sport because the sport is almost never on channels that everyone actually gets and includes broadcasters who (even though they might be right) denegrate the code of points every chance they get (this is my vote for what went wrong). There needs to be adequate coverage of the actual sport, and various facts about the athleticism and skills required need to be explained every time it's on the air.
I also think that the quality of professional skating that is shown has gone way down, and that has also affected the ratings. It's hard for me to watch certain skaters who are way past their prime and clearly don't train all that much on shows like the Halloween On Ice show doing the same watered down tricks and choreography over and over again. Some of the professional skaters are lovely, and some of the newer ones are bringing new life to the choreography, but we don't see enough of them on t.v., and we see too many of the others who are there just for their name. We need more skaters like Kurt Browning, Stephane Lambiel, Joannie Rochet, Jeffery Buttle, Katia Gordeeva, and the like to be shown, and less of those who phone their show programs in.
I would love to see skating featured in programs like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade again (way more interesting than a dog show, though I have nothing against dog shows). I think ABC has the right to that programming, though, so it would have to be a group other than the USFSA that would coordinate that type of thing. It would be wonderful if a John Curry style special from the Rockefeller tree lighting could be shown (again, ABC territory). All of this costs money and takes organization, though, and would be out of the hands of the USFSA.
Maybe the USFSA could convince NBC to air a pro-am competition to include athletes of a high caliber during Christmas season in a future year? That way they'd be organizing the competition and could invite those who'd best represent the sport? Again, though, that costs $$$. NBC would have to be willing to pay for it.
Maybe the best route is to try to get more youngsters interested in the sport- perhaps the USFSA should put their money towards a day of free skating lessons in member rinks across the country, and advertise this heavily. The difficulty here is that skating is a sport with a steep learning curve, so they'd have to work hard to find ways to make doing the most basic things a lot of fun.
I'm just rambling and throwing out random ideas now. The point is that it is a lot more difficult to drum up popularity than many of us think, and the USFSA has a tall order ahead of them.
Maybe the best way to promote skating is for each of us to take a friend to a show, and then to take a few friends skating, and then maybe take our neighbors' and relatives' kids skating. Maybe relying on the governing bodies to fix everything isn't the answer? Or perhaps the USFSA needs to find ways to get more people involved in promoting the sport- offering a second set of tickets at a discounted price to people who buy the expensive seats so that they can bring a friend? Or maybe just trying to get member clubs to go out into the community to promote certain events?
Edit to add- I think the USFSA could use social media a lot more, as well. Clearly they are trying to do this with Twitter, but I think they should consider YouTube and Pinterest as really good ways to promote skating, as well. Making a highlight reel of great jumps and artistic skills might play well. A fun video of a jump-off filmed during Champs Camp might get viewers. They could really use the athletes' personalities to advantage here. Maybe a footwork challenge between some of the singles skaters and ice dancers? Shibutani vs. Weir vs. White vs. Lysacek? Make a pinterest and post some of the nicest pictures of USFSA stars? All of that could be done for less expense.

I purchased these blinds for my master bedroom, which has an extreme western exposure. Since I live in Michigan, I have to guard against the heat in the summer, and the cold in the winter from the windows. I purchased the linen color for my sage green bedroom with white moulding. The color looks fantastic againt the earthy green walls. If I had to describe them, they look like beautiful old-fashioned linen writing paper. Not only are they beatiful, they decreased the heat coming through the bedroom windows so much that my air-conditioning bill went down about 20 dollars a month. Great blinds!
I purchased these honeycomb blinds for five windows. In less than a year, the adhesive that holds each row together has failed in several places. I glue one row together, and then another lets go. . . I repair that one, and then another gives way. This has happened on every single blind I purchased. I do not recommend these. Obviously, there was a flaw in the manufacturer's adhesive!!
Great shade for the price - they install easily and look nice. The ivory is kind of a weird ivory, it has a beige/goldish hue, it didn't really matter to me, but if you're looking for true ivory you might not like it. The honeycomb size is smaller than I had imagined, but they still look nice. They operate smoothly, hopefully they will last for a while!
I ordered these for my master bedroom and dining room. I have a granddaughter who is a toddler and did not want cords. Safety for her was my main concern as well as a stylish look. I really love these shades. They were very easy to install and the mechanism is smooth when putting the shade up or down.I ordered the linen color first. The linen color was a little to gold so I put them in my dining room and order the white ones for my bedroom. The white are not a pure white and worked well for me.I am sure you could get a similar product at a similar price in the stores but the ease of using overstock and the fast delivery saves me a great deal of time and energy.
This shade was extremely easy to hang...took about 10 minutes. It looks very nice up.The quality is very good. Do not hesitate to buy.
I was looking for inexpensive honeycomb blinds, and these were solid. They were very easy to install and look 10x better than the crummy old plastic/metal ones we had before. Not top quality, but good for the price.
Purchased 2 shades for bedroom windows. They are functional, easy up & down. They filter some light so be aware they are not light blocking. They look sleek; look good enough to be used alone or with a drape to complement. Simple installation. Love that they have no cords!! Probably will purchase more.
Love, love, love the color. Perfect for my laundry room. Took maybe, say 5-minutes to snap into place. The best part is that there are no unsightly cords to worry about getting tangled up in. Easy, breezy beautiful high quality shade.
easy to install, and raise and lower without the cords to mess with. Love these shades. Look very expensive.
I was looking for a low cost blind for a rental unit and these blinds are that. I ordered four, one blind has a color variation toward the bottom. The headrails are plastic and easily scratch, so be careful when installing. The fabric seems a little fragile, but as long as they get light duty I think they will be OK. Also, the measurement is exact, if you order 35" that is what you get. Other blinds that say 35" are slightly smaller so they do not rub the walls when operated. I ended up hanging them 'outside' the window because of the tight fit.
