Later, a friend said, "if your life was a TV show then that guy definitely would've killed you and the audience would've been thrilled by a really gruesome quadruple homicide just before the opening credits.
"In real life, though, you're probably always more likely to get a guy bringing takeout to his wife on his way home from work."
The girls' questions continued as I drove us through the snow and stalled cars and watched the stranger's movements without being caught watching the stranger's movements and as I listened to the first sounds of G's stirrings, knowing he'd soon be awake and hungry. To calm myself I made conversation in search of answers.
"My girls want to know what language you're speaking."
"Oh, Chinese. I was calling my wife to tell her she can stop shoveling. I worry about her heart."
I had a moment of levity in my head, feeling grateful for the confirmation that E does not, in fact, know that language after all.
"And what's your name? They're asking..."
"Oh, Cui. Cui."
"Did you hear that, girls? His name is Cui."
We approached his intersection. I filled with calm, and knew my decision was a generous, and not reckless one. I knew he'd get home safely and we'd leave him safely, and eventually we'd get to our destination.
The object he had pulled out of his pocket -- he waved it in front of me. "Can I give you some money?"
"No, no," I said. "No. Tonight is just a good night for helping people. Go home to your wife." I watched the inching cars behind us, wary of stopping for too long. I didn't want a car behind us to lose control and crash into us after we'd come so far safely.
"Well, then can I know your name?"
"Robin," I said. "It's Robin."
"Well, thank you, Robin," he said as he looked at me steadily, even as he hesitated over my first consonant. He gathered his takeout and he left. With a wave he crossed the street through foot-high tire tracks, and I realized regretfully that I could have dropped him off so much closer. We kept driving, met the lovely husband for pizza and pasta in a restaurant running on a back-up generator, celebrated our E's birthday and carefully made our way home.
The next morning the sky, finally, was still. What could have been the worst decision of my life ended with a man who asked, in gratitude, to know my name. And because I knew his I was thinking of him, of Cui. And I wonder, but feel strangely sure, that he, too, was thinking of me.

Takeda skates, imo, like she's not serious but having a good time.
Takeda skates, imo, like she's not serious but having a good time.
The TBA spot is likely to go to Nana Takeda. Japan usually sends the top 5 or 6 from Nationals to the GP. They were:
1 Mao ASADA
2 Fumie SUGURI
3 Miki ANDO
4 Akiko SUZUKI
5 Yukari NAKANO
6 Nana TAKEDA
The ladies who did well in the JGP last season are pretty young (14 and 15) and haven't had much international experience, so Japan is probably keeping them in the JGP this year. And Takeda did finish ahead of the young ones at '09 Nationals.
I agree that the TBA is likely to be Nana Takeda, especially considering that JSF announced Murakami & Fujisawa as part of their JGP team.
Men - Wow, what a field! I would love, love, love to see Daisuke win this . He is my favorite men's skater. He's the whole package and when he's on, he's very hard to beat. But realistically, making the podium would be a huge victory. I have no idea who to pick - Joubert, Dai, Kozuka, Weir and Abbot could all win. Abbott is really inconsistent and that could be his downfall. Dai had his injury. Joubert and Johny aren't too COP savvy. The second tier is also awesome with Brezina, Rippon and Borodulin.
Ladies - Miki & Yukari are definitely the favorites. I hope Yukari can skate as well as possible; I want her in the Olympics soooo bad! I think Miki has the edge given recent results, but she can be inconsistent. I think it will be a battle between Leonova & Lepisto, but Meier or Wagner could beat them on a good day. The key for Ashley will definitely be to get as few UR calls as possible and hopefully work the lutz down to a ! over the summer.
Pairs - Again K&S vs P&T. I think Denney & Barrett will easily claim the bronze.
Dance - Again, teh gold is between D&S and D&W, but I'll be excited to see the Kerrs. I think they are the favorites for bronze, but if they make mistakes then C&P could beat them.
Oleada, great posts on all the analysis threads! With all your unbiased analyses, it makes for good reading from another poster with a point of view.
Looks like I'm going! We have tickets for all three nights and have reserved our hotel. Now all we have to do is figure out our flights and get tickets for the bullet train
The ISU site hasn't been updated yet, but the JSF site announced the TBA slots yesterday as follows;
Men- Daisuke Murakami
Ladies- Nana Takeda
Good for you Nana!!!
Daisuke announced his joining the Seniors last June at the DOI, he's under Morosov and has a lot of potential.
My guess is that the JSF descided to go with Nana after after all because Mari Suzuki (who can do 5 triples) wasn't able to perform so well at the NZ Winter Games last week.
I have tickets for the entire event! I also have a hotel reservation
Lucky ducky you, Freedman!
Looks like the tickets are sold out and most of the nearby convenient hotels are fully booked now...
Is this your first time in Nagano? I'll try to pick up and post some usefull tips of that area from other forms/ blogs, so you and other people from abroad can have a better time staying I can't give you advice because I've never been there.
Access to Big Hat:
10-15 min. by taxi/shuttle bus from Nagano station (sorry but couldn't find out location of bus stop, but you can't miss it, so many people will be on cue)
Places to kill time around Big Hat:
few casual restaurants (like Denny's, Royal Host ) within 5-10 min walk
huge electric goods shop "K's Denki" in the same block
tiny shrine "Ichimura Shrine" and temple "Butsudo-ji" few blocks away
Seating info at Big Hat
Dinner tips:
many casual restaurants around the station but most close around 10-11pm, and people say that the neighborhood will be like a ghost town after that.
So you won't have much time to come back from Big Hat, wander around and look for a place to eat.
Better to eat at your hotel restaurant or buy food at a convenience store and eat in your room.
FYI Nagano is a peaceful countryside. Can't guarantee 100%, but it shouldn't so dangerous to be out even at night.
Sightseeing info:
Hope any of these help... enjoy your stay& the competition!!!
Anyone who sees any mistakes in the above, please let me know...
Thank you so much for this info. I have been so busy lately and consumed with TEB that I didn't even look at this until now. Your info is so helpful!!!
Thankfully dance judging isn't soley based on who had the more interesting program. Most of the marks are derived from the content of those programs. Think about Evgeny Plushenko's gold medal winning program from Torino. Choreographically it was IMO boring and aside from the required elements Plushenko did nothing but stroke about in between requirements. However he met the requirements, did them very well and got big marks for them. People may not have liked his strategy and would probably have preferred that Plushenko made some effort to put more interesting highlight moves into the LP but that did not affect the quality of the required moves he did do.
As a B&A fan, I was disappointed in the choreography of B&A's OD and FD but again the required content was there and good enough to compete with the other top teams. As it's a new season I won't spend a lot of time arguing about the dance competition in L.A. but technically it is my opinion that B&A were so good in the CD and OD that even people who dislike them should be able to put aside the bias and recognize that.
DomShabs is a sad case for me. I loved their programs all the way through the 05/06 season. Since then even though IMO Oksana and Max on paper are one of the top teams but they haven't delivered. I haven't really liked any of their programs but more importantly because of Max's knees DomShabs haven't been able to step up the level of their performances. This is a shame because it only helps to "prove" that those who feel all their marks are given to them because of politicks. I do think that DomShabs deserved first place in the CD (I'm not sure how Max managed to skate that well) but definitely dropped off in the OD and FD.
One thing we can agree on is hating seeing the judges hold up a team. Awarding any team placements that are undeserved not only hurts the teams who should have been higher and further erodes the credibility of the sport but it also hurts the winning team inspite of that team being the reigning world champions.
If not for Max's badly damaged knees DomShabs could beat D&W without any help from the judges as long as they didn't implode. It seems that some feel blah choreography automatically means that team should get lower marks. But because of last season even if Max's knees magically repaired themselves and DomShabs were able to skate the way they used to be capable of people will never give them the credit for any future high placement.
Also we all know that what some think is garbage may be a program others like.
Analysis in the light of COR... Especially Ladies; isn't it quite rare that all three of the medalists will face one another again in COR? Who will take the top spot now? Or will it be someone else? Looking for medals are definitely Yukari and Laura and maybe Sarah as well.
Miki and Yukari seem favorites right now; with Ashley, Alena and Laura three possibilities for bronze... It's going to be a nailbiter that competition! The qualification for the GPF is at stake here!

Paul Ryan Had A Black Girlfriend — Does It Matter?
Originally published on Tue August 28, 2012 8:52 pm
Now, a non-story that's kicked off a very real conversation about race in America. In 2005, Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate, told a Milwaukee magazine that he has a black sister-in-law. He also said that in his bachelor past he had a black girlfriend. A CNN blogger gave the interview new life a few days ago. But what, if anything, does this glimpse into Ryan's past tell us about how inclusive his politics would be as vice president?
NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates went in search of some answers.
KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: With the rise of interracial relationships in the past 20 years, everything from marriage to trans-racial adoption, the news that Paul Ryan says he had a black girlfriend really is non-story. The question a lot of people, especially people of color, have is does having had a relationship with someone of another race or ethnicity, make you more sensitive to those cultures.
LINDA YOUNG: Any of us can have bias towards or against someone based on race or ethnicity. And we may not even know it, so no matter how many friends we have or girlfriends we have, or who we play golf with, it's still possible.
BATES: That's psychologist and relationship expert Linda Young of the Woodlands, Texas. The larger issue for Young is how Ryan's policies might affect people of color. The dating thing, not so important.
YOUNG: I think it's kind of a non-sequitor. I think it takes us away from the issues at hand.
BATES: The issue at hand for a lot of African-Americans who have weighed in on this, is the back story. But let's go someplace where people more articulate than me can explain it to you.
BRAD JOHNSON: Hey, Karen. Welcome to Post and Beam.
BATES: Proprietor Brad Johnson swings open the door to his restaurant in L.A.'s predominantly black Crenshaw neighborhood. Patrons come here for the well-stocked bar and the wood-fired pizza, but they stay for hours to talk. Out on the patio where soul music mixes with the rush of nearby traffic, Johnson says he has a personal interest in the Ryan story.
JOHNSON: I happen to be bi-racial. My mom is Italian, my dad passed away a few years, was African-American. So I see the world through that lens.
BATES: Johnson says the mere fact that Ryan dated a black woman, or has a black sister-in-law, probably won't increase his appeal to black voters like him. What would make a difference to Johnson is some indication from the Romney-Ryan ticket that diversity is a priority.
JOHNSON: I do think that it is fair to look at who one has in their social circle and/or business circle and what that says about them as an individual. Are they inclusive?
BATES: Good question. Edgy comedians long have poked fun at liberal white folks who offer the lone black friend as testimony to their open-mindedness. Lenny Bruce did it in the '50s and Chris Rock is doing it today.
CHRIS ROCK: All my black friends have a bunch of white friends. And all my white friends have one black friend.
DORIAN MISSICK: Chris Rock's comedy is funny because it's so true.
BATES: Back out on Post and Beam's patio Dorian and Simone Missick are enjoying happy hour. Ask the couple if they have white friends and Simone Missick responds immediately.
SIMONE MISSICK: Lots.
BATES: Dorian Missick says as an African-American, white society expects him to function outside of his own community and have some knowledge of cultures other than his own. But he doesn't believe the reverse applies.
MISSICK: For a person who is white in America, to grow up in America and just live your life, you're not forced to have to walk outside of your comfort zone, which tends to be a white comfort zone.
BATES: White people who live multi-cultural lives Missick says, do so by choice. So for him, how comfortable Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are with people of color is the real story. And that will need to be reflected beyond the diversity that's on display at the convention in Tampa this week. Karen Grigsby Bates, NPR News.

Hanson looks for fresh start against Twins
Minnesota hands rookie Gibson the ball, looking for third career win
It was a tough first half for Tommy Hanson. Making only nine starts during that stretch, the Angels right-hander spent much of his time on the bereavement list and the disabled list.
However, Hanson will look to put that all behind him as he makes his first start of the second half on Tuesday against the Twins in Anaheim.
"It was kind of frustrating how the first half went, but I'm looking forward to the time I have now," Hanson said. "I still have the second half, so I want to do everything in my power to help the team."
Hanson (4-2, 5.10 ERA) was scratched prior to a June 26 start against the Tigers and placed on the DL with a right forearm strain.
The right-hander threw 59 pitches in 3 1/3 innings during a rehab assignment with Class A Inland Empire on Thursday and tossed a successful bullpen session on Sunday.
"I haven't pitched that much. It's kind of been up and down. I feel really good right now," Hanson said. "I feel healthy and everything feels good. I just want to go out, do the best I can and win some games."
Hanson will be up against Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson, who picked up his second career win heading into the All-Star break.
In just his fourth Majors start, Gibson (2-2, 6.45 ERA) held the Yankees to three runs (two earned) on five hits in five innings of work at Yankee Stadium.
Walks have been an issue for Gibson over his previous two starts. After surrendering just one free pass over his first two outings, he's walked eight in his last two starts.
"Gibby battled through it. He kind of nit-picked around the zone; we'd like to see him attack the zone a lot more," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said after the start. "He just kind of picked a little too much for our liking. The game was slow-paced, and he knows that. He's got to do a little better."
Twins: Bernier gets first start in five years
Starting at shortstop and batting second for the Twins in Monday's game against the Angels, Doug Bernier made his first Major League start in over five years.
Bernier, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on July 14, last started in the Majors on June 19, 2008, with the Rockies. He came in as a defensive substitution in the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Indians and drew a walk, which marked the first time he reached base in the Majors.
"It's been a long time," Bernier said. "It's exciting. I figured I'd be in the lineup one time, but to see it, it's just exciting."
He finished Monday's game going 1-for-5 with an RBI double.
Angels: Hamilton scratched with stiff ankle
Josh Hamilton was scratched from the Angels' lineup against the Twins on Monday with a stiff right ankle. Manager Mike Scioscia said the ankle "locked up on him" after Sunday's game.
"Hopefully, it'll be day to day," Scioscia said. "Right now, he's just not able to go."
Hamilton, batting .223 with 14 homers and 41 RBIs, has started 87 of the Angels' 97 contests. He missed games earlier this season because of minor injuries to his right wrist and lower back, along with sinus congestion.
"I have to wake up in the morning, see what happens, see how it feels and see what they tell me," said Hamilton of his Tuesday status.
Worth noting
• Twins reliever Jared Burton has not allowed a run in eight consecutive appearances, a span that goes back to July 4.
• The Angels are 15-8 against the American League Central this season.

Helpful Definition for: Building Materials & Supplies
Building materials are primarily of two types; natural and artificial or man-made. Natural materials are available in plenty in and around Bridgeport. One needs to be quite sure about the production of any particular material. Based on high demand of any material at any particular place, the rate might be cheap. However, man-made materials are more or less of same price at almost all places in Bridgeport. The supply of building materials is done not only within that specific area but is also sometimes imported. It requires a great deal of human labor to produce and supply material apart from the natural materials, especially in large quantity requirement for building industries.

Goodguys Third Annual Orange County Showcase - Socal Showdown
Written by on July 1, 2009 Goodguy's Third Annual Orange County Get-Together Showcased Some Great Cars And Some Spirited Driving.The Orange County fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, California, served as the playground for grown-up kids and their cars for the third annual Goodguys Get-Together. Only being the third year for Goodguys in Orange County, it's a baby compared to the veteran California events such as Del Mar, in its ninth year, and Pleasanton, going on 23 years. Though just starting out, this show has proven to draw quite a crowd. Southern California's mild sunny weather suits automotive hobbyists perfectly, and it's only natural for car guys and gals to migrate to its warmth. We weren't blessed with SoCal's usual smell of sun screen, but victim to frequent overcast and temperatures in the 50s--unseasonably cold to the natives. That didn't stop Goodguys' loyal crowd from attending though.
Goodguys has been around since 1983, giving people of all budgets and abilities a place to show off their cars, and enjoy the company of others who share the same passion. The traditional car-show format changed drastically when Goodguys introduced the Street Challenge autocross two years ago. The Street Challenge autocross gets people up off their folding chairs and behind the wheel of their cars, showing off what they can do besides sit and look pretty. Cars with cornering power to go with power are getting popular, and are admired more now than ever before. Since it's hard to put a number on handling performance, besides a skidpad rating, it's nearly impossible to show what your car is made of on paper. Quarter-mile times and dyno results do a great job of sharing a straight-line car's capabilities, but they don't help the guys who spend their bucks on tubular control arms instead of a power-adder. That is the fantastic thing about the Street Challenge: since it doesn't occupy the large footage of a competition-style autocross event, a ton of horsepower doesn't really improve your times. The Street Challenge drew a diverse crowd; it wasn't just the big-braked, hyper muscle cars, but a collection of cars from every era and performance level. It was clear the challenge was less of a competition, and more about just having fun with the car you brought.
There's more to the shows than just the Street Challenge autocross. Over 100 vendors came to the show with their trailers loaded with project cars, product, and demonstration material. Car shows are often the only opportunities that manufacturers get to dazzle us with the new products they've made. Companies like Air Ride and Detroit Speed & Engineering were not only showing off their goods in their booths, but also flexing their muscles out on the autocross course. If you don't mind walking around with them, you can even purchase parts too.
The rest of the show consisted of guys and gals who love cars. Since the show was open to all years of domestic cars and trucks, the spread of vehicles to look at was vast. No matter what you're into, from late-model Mustangs to '32 Fords, there was something to tickle your fancy. We walked every inch of the show, talking to people who were excited about their rides and about being there, which we can't get enough of. There were so many cars we wanted to cover but we just can't fit them all in here. Every Goodguys show we've attended over the years has been a fun-filled family oriented experience. We can't think of a better way to spend a weekend with your car buddies or family than at a Goodguy's car show.
Editors' Challenge
To quiet the smack-talkers and glorify the true driving heroes, Goodguys created the Editors' Challenge. This is the chance for magazine editors and contributors to show off their skills in their own project cars or ones supplied by the participating vendors. The 10 contestants have an hour to squeeze in as many runs as they can, and the best lap time wins. A couple of the editors, such as Steven Rupp from Camaro Performers, and David Freiburger from Hot Rod, had their own cars; the rest shared the driver seats of cars built by Air Ride and Detroit Speed and Engineering. The Air Ride-built Goodguys giveaway '70 Nova named Super Nova even made an appearance. The author even got a single pass in Air Ride's '66 Chevelle, and ran a 35.804. PHR photographer, Robert McGaffin, had much better luck, and whittled his time down to 31.877, which was good for Fifth Place. The top spot went to Steven Rupp in his familiar Bad Penny Camaro, running a 29.69 lap time.

Yellow label
Minimalist three season tents, for those for whom light weight is the highest priority. They are built for snow-free and less exposed trips, and without compromising on our dependability requirements we have shaved off everything but the most important features. Their simplified design and lighter weight materials demand more awareness from users than do our other tents.
Blue label
Each Hilleberg Blue Label model is designed for a particular job, and so is built with the materials best suited to that end. Just as importantly, Blue Label models, like our Black, Red, and Yellow Label tents, are expressly designed with a specific blend of our performance attributes principles (reliability, adaptability, ease of use, durability, comfort, and low weight). For Blue Label models, however, that blend is optimized not just for their intended performance range, but for their individual tasks, as well.

Definition | Reasons for Procedure | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Dentist
Dental implants can be used to replace missing teeth. The implant is added to the jawbone and substitutes for the roots of the missing tooth. The implant procedure can be done by a dentist, periodontist, prosthodontist, or oral surgeon. It takes several appointments and is done over a period of 3-6 months.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
You may have missing teeth due to injury, disease, or decay . Implants can be used to prevent problems associated with missing teeth, such as:
Dental implants may also be used to replace dentures or help retain existing dentures.
Potential problems are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your dentist will review potential problems, like:
Talk to your dentist about these risks before the procedure.
Implants require several surgical procedures. Before getting implants, you will need to have a thorough dental exam, including:
You and your dentist will make a treatment plan. Before treatment begins:
During the procedure, you may have local anesthesia, which only numbs a small area in your mouth. Or, you may have general anesthesia so you do not feel any pain during the procedure. Talk to your dentist to decide which option is best for you.
At your first visit, an implant will be placed. The gum will be cut open to expose your jaw bone. A hole will be drilled and the implant will be placed. The implant is made of titanium or another material. It is implanted deep into the jaw bone. Your gum will be closed over the implant. You will need to wait 3-6 months for the implant to fuse with your jaw bone.
At the next visit, the implant will be uncovered and an extension, called a post or abutment, will be inserted. The post will stick out past your gums. This is done so that there is something on which to attach the crown. For some types of implants, the implant and post will be inserted during the same visit. A mold will also be made of your upper and lower jaw. The mold will be used to create the crown in a dental lab. You may have a temporary crown placed over the post until it is time for the permanent crown to be attached.
The crown will be attached at a third visit after your gums have healed around the abutment post—usually 2-3 weeks.
The 3 visits will take place over 3-6 months. Each visit will take 30-60 minutes. However, the visit to place the implant may take a couple of hours.
You might have some pain while your gums heal around the implant. Your dentist may prescribe medication for the pain.
You will be able to leave right after the procedure if you had local anesthesia. If you had general anesthesia, you will need someone to drive you home.
When you return home, take these steps:
It is normal to have some swelling or discomfort right after the procedure. Call your dentist if the pain worsens.
If you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

TAKERI concept points to future direction of Mazda's passenger cars
Article Summary
Mazda's theme at this year's Tokyo Motor Show was "Environmental Technology, Pushing the Boundaries of the Emotion of Motion," and the TAKERI concept making its world debut at the show integrates a number of environmentally friendly technologies that fall under the company's SKYACTIV banner. The car also reflects the KODO design language ushered in by the SHINARI and MINAGI concept cars, which will serve as a blueprint for Mazda's future vehicles.

And, these are better than those durable CHEAP animal-print knives, how? I've got a zebra-printed set, that I've been using for 6 months, and with rare tune-ups, they're still sharp. (And, I've got 2 more, back-up sets.) steve
Since the knives say "Rachel Ray" on them, when you cut your fingers with these do you treat it with EVOO?
are these full tang?
vorik wrote:are these full tang?
according to knivesndaggers.com, these have "strong tang". http://www.knivesndaggers.com/furi-rachael-ray-three-piece-fur890/
I can confirm that these are indeed Tang® colored...not full, just the handle part. Maybe the leopard knife company will come out with an astronaut version for you that will be full tang colored though.
Do these knives have her name on them anywhere? I really can't stand Rachel Ray and don't want her name on these knives if I buy them for my college student kids. Then again, maybe they will think of me and how much I hate her when they stab a pork chop which might be a good thing. May get me a quick phone call which isnt a request for money.

Your post is full of win. Major win.
They are decent knives. We have the set and got the diamond sharpener for them. http://www.amazon.com/Rachael-Ray-Ozitech-Diamond-Sharpener/dp/B000GHWXKC The knives themselves are sharp and the sharpener is pretty good as well. They are NOT very good at resisting acid (tomato, onion and the like.) That said, if you care for them, they are good knives. Good heft and they take well to being sharpened often.
I have this set, its great. I lot of people don't wanna drop the money on really really nice set and the Rachel Ray knives are great for that. The steel I believe is a CRMOV. It takes a nice edge and holds it pretty well.
I picked up a set, in part, because of the case. My education requires me to go on multiple clinicals throughout the US and having a good set of all purpose knives that are made to be travel ready sounds pretty invaluable to me.
conanthelibrarian wrote:according to knivesndaggers.com, these have "strong tang". http://www.knivesndaggers.com/furi-rachael-ray-three-piece-fur890/
I went to your link. But I don't get it. No astronauts. No little happy martians drinking. I always took "strong tang" to mean it had some alcohol in it. I don't think that is the case w/ these knives...... so call me knife illiterate. I had to look it up. the meaning of Tang
Why do so many of the knife sets look like the same 3 knives re-branded?
I have a ten piece sent of the RR Knives in a bamboo block and I love them. The handles on mine are anti-microbial so I suggest hand-washing (I never put my Chef's knives in the dishwasher anyway, but some folks do) They have a very comfortable feel, I have very large hands, (men's gloves, size large), yet family members with smaller hands have no problem controlling them. The price on these is unheard of. I paid $149.00 for my 10 piece block and that was a great deal on sale. If you need knives, I wouldn't hesitate. I'm picking up a couple sets for gifts.
$9.95 matches the price I paid a few years ago for a Ronco Six-Star 3-knife starter set (including the "Ronco Rocker"). The $5.00 shipping would be worth it, to get a knifeless beginner cook her/his first semi-decent set of knives. The only knife I'd add to this set would be a decent bread knife. (This is why, when I replaced my Miracle Blade III knives with a set of Ginsus a year ago, my spouse insisted on keeping the multipurpose slicer, because it made such a good bread knife, and was the one type of knife the Ginsu set lacked.)
Ok, Wooters...important question. Has anyone had any experience throwing these in the dishwasher on a regular basis. Yes, I know. The directions say "don't do it". But... I don't follow directions, and I want a set that I can use for poultry only and just throw in the dishwasher for easy disinfecting. Thanks, Wooters!

One question... How far will you be throwing them? Will children be in the area? If so, I would say Nooooooooo! That said, at $9.00 a set, you can do what you want with them. The dishwasher isn't good for any knife, but let's be realistic. It's not a set of Wusthof or Henckels. My wife is constantly throwing my knives in the dishwasher and they seem to hold up pretty well. I love her, but she doesn't "follow directions" either and we're still good.
Tang! Giggle, giggle...
Bought these last time. I use the chef's knife almost daily. It's sharp and the handle is rubber so it feels secure in my hand. I think the quality versus price ratio is definatly in your favor with this one.
I have the big one & it is my favorite knife. I know I'm supposed to wash knives by hand, but I put this one in the top of my dishwasher & it comes out just fine. $15.....what a deal!!! I'm in for a couple of sets, maybe 3 just to have extra & for gifts! Thank you WOOT for your awesomeness!
Ich bin ein Wooter!
I'm getting these for two reasons: one can never have too many knives; they're orange!!
These are decent knives and have held up well. We have a larger set that came with the bamboo box. We hand wash these and don't put them in the dish washer. I'm pretty sure we have 2 of the 3 of these already. We did not have the utiity knife. The only knives I love better is a $20 4pc set of ceramics.
I got these as a Christmas gift a few years ago and love them. The color isn't my fave, but they work really well. I'd definitely recommend!
Pretty sure they're Wu-Tang.
critStock wrote:Pretty sure they're Wu-Tang.
I believe that you have a slight spelling error there. The correct spelling is Woot-Tang, but the spelling you used is considered acceptable in the modern "Rap" and "Hip-Hop" vernaculars.
I beleve the Tang is part of the Poon, which would mean quite old.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1995 Fall Tour."
December 9 was a Saturday, the day after classes ended. It felt like another rough term, though in retrospect the students I had in both classes were absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed working with them. But Saturday I was finally really going to be free. "Freeeeeeeeeee!" Jay and I were driving down to Albany to see Phish.
The weather was really ugly. It was snowing hard: a serious, keep-the-truck in four-wheel-drive-and-pray-that-you-don't-have-to-stop-or-turn-fast kind of situation. Low visibility. The kind of snow that, when I'm rational, keeps me home, wearing slippers, and baking bread or grading papers. But Phish was playing, and rationality and Phish obsessions rarely coexist. Actually, I was already exceedingly rational for a Phish fan - I gave up going to shows when I had to lecture the next day after Halloween `94, which left me so tired and grouchy and miserable and barely coherent that I almost gave up seeing Phish altogether. But the term was over, see, and I didn't have to give a final until the middle of next week, since the freshmen had already turned in their final projects. So, weather aside, it was the perfect time and place for me to see Phish. I gave Jay the "puppy-dog eyes" look and he agreed to leave really, really early"...before noon. And we really did it, too. And that was probably a good thing, because the drive down was pretty scary. We stayed on the road, though, and got to Albany in plenty of time to check into the hotel and watch TV before going downtown. They had the Discovery channel, which was a treat since we don't have cable at home.
We drove downtown early so we could eat dinner before the show. The roads weren't plowed very well, but we made it to the parking garage with only a little stressful driving around the block and yelling at each other about missing turns. We walked a few blocks from the Knick, trying to get away from the pre-show hordes and find a place that was open to eat. It wasn't easy; I think a lot of places closed down early because of the storm. And, of course, we were tromping through pretty thick snow on unplowed sidewalks to get anywhere. We finally found a little Thai place that was open. After some really yummy chocolate raspberry cake for dessert, we headed back to the Knick to head in.
Our seats were perfect: just off the floor, Page side. And the music"...I don't need to talk about it, you've all heard it. I enjoyed the first set, too, though it was a "Yay! I'm at a Phish show! It's been five months!" kind of enjoyment, not an "omyfreakingodwherehasmybraingone" type of enjoyment. Not that it matters at the show, of course, because enjoyment is enjoyment. I took out my ponytail during "Chalk Dust Torture" because I wanted to feel totally free. Let my hair down. Can't I live while I'm young? Cause I am still young, dammit!
And the second set"...why even bother writing about it? I mean, words just cannot do justice to how it felt to be there, listening to that spellbinding "YEM" as it was being created. Jay, who likes Phish but isn't quite sure what the obsession is all about, got "IT" during the "YEM" jam. It was his first time, at his twelfth show. He called the "Gumbo", too. And he was the one (not me) who figured out what the hell was going on at the beginning of "Wilson".
I am way too easily affected by the emotional state of people with me at shows; if I'm with someone who isn't having a very good time, I don't have as good a time, no matter how hard I try to ignore them and just experience the music. But when I'm with someone having the kind of powerful experience Jay was having, especially when I'm as close to that person as I am to Jay, it's incredible. It magnifies my own experience of the music. Damn fine way to spend my twenty-ninth birthday.
Along with the chaotic rendition on Halloween the Albany '95 YEM consistently ranks as one of the great performances of the song in its greatest year: 1995. At just under 35 mins this YEM cant match Halloween's on length but the quality of the jam more than makes up. Building through a Piper-esque chord progression Trey takes over and begins the customary '95 hosing. After fifteen or so glorious minutes the jam enters a thundering BD section, alongside colors from Page. As Page takes over Trey supplies an incredibly funky rhythm. They jam begins to break down leaving Trey playing the legendary "Theme From Shaft". Doing his best Isaac Hayes Trey murmurs the words to the shows theme and begins what has become know as the "Silent Jam".
Though the silent jam isn't the most glorious moment on tape it will none the less satisfy you as will all of this YEM. Remarkably good AUDs of this show exist though many fans having been begging for this show to be added to the LivePhish Series.

becides being low power and durable could someone please enlighten me as to how SSD's can be applied! Seems like a big money pig to me. Please prove me otherwise
Phoronix: Super Talent MasterDrive OX SATA 2.0 SSD
Years ago we looked at Super Talent DDR2 memory at Phoronix and with what was tested we ran into problems when overclocking, motherboard compatibility issues, and some very sticky heatsinks. The experience was not the best, but the memory did work as intended. Nearly three years have passed and today we have moved on to look at the Super Talent MasterDrive OX Serial ATA 2.0 Solid State Drive. These Super Talent SSDs are MLC NAND Flash based and come in sizes down to 16GB, which leads to prices lower than many other SSDs on the market, but how do they perform?
becides being low power and durable could someone please enlighten me as to how SSD's can be applied! Seems like a big money pig to me. Please prove me otherwise
Others (notably AnandTech -- see http://www.anandtech.com/storage/sho...px?i=3531&p=17
have noted that SSDs based on JMicron controllers are subject to severe "stutter": sometimes the write latency can go through the roof, causing the whole system to seem to hang.
Not what I want to happen on my system ;-(
Can you make the / partition inside such a disk?
i've been looking for a low capacity version of one of these to use as almost an EPROM to boot from. The plan is to whack the kernel and related files on there along with some core stuff like the /usr/lib or all the files accessed during booting. Does anyone know if this would work? i doubt it would get the latancy issues mentioned because there would be very little writing involved. Maybe phoronix could see if it could be done?

let's hope they do a better this year. personally, i'd rather see 8.35 getting maintenance through the rest of 2007, instead of what we got - that was the best driver release for me.
edit : why is there a "hole" on the last page in benchmarks, on drivers 8.38-8.40 ? i mean the bars are way low. wth?

Hey all, sorry if this is the wrong place. I set an old laptop as a home server, sharing out the only user's /home folder to the entire network as a file server. I dont want to blast my config files across the network though so I veto'd all "dot" files in smb.conf via
veto files = /.*/
Only problem is sometimes I want to handle git via the samba share, but since samba vetos all dot files, Git GUI cant find the ".git" in each project's folder. Anyone got an idea for how I could veto all "dot" files for /home/admin but not for /home/admin/git?

ChristineHairBlackDry HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairGood Buyi just recently bought this after reading several reviews on it and I can honestly say it was a good buy. Low cost yet leaves my thick (African) hair bouncy and soft to the touch. Definitely recommendable!posted May 8, 2012Link to this post
NicoleLos Angeles, CAHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairNo Complaints !This flat iron is awesome! I prefer it actually over the 1.5" model because its easier to straighten shorter sections of hair. The temperatures are awesome even at the middle heating range of 15 (which I use for "touch ups"). It definitely left my hair with a shine and the sample of argan oil included with this flat iron was a great addition. It is a very small sample but you really don't need much argan oil on your hair to do the trick anyway! Definitely recommend this product !posted Apr 14, 2012Link to this post
LaurieHairBlondeNormal HairAwesome ResultsI didn't want to spend a fortune for a flat iron so I read the reviews and I love this flat iron. It is really comfortable to use and I love how long the plates are. My hair doesnt seem to get any fly aways from this and it is really silky. I dont have to go over and over it.It's worth more than the 40 bux I spent on it. My hair doesnt seem to friz at all during the day. You really won't be sorry if you get this!posted Feb 25, 2012Link to this post
MarlenaMississauga, CanadaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairConair Infiniti Pro - Bang For Your BuckI spent a good 2 months looking for my perfect straightner. I looked up the Chi, Sedu and all the top brands. Asked around to friends and strangers whose hair I thought looked silky smooth and beautiful. I have always used conair products and always been very happy. SO when I read the great reviews here and asked my hairstylist what he used and it was the infinity I was sold. He was charging $140 for the straightner in his store. So I checked out Folica. The straightner is amazing. Day 1 of using it my co-workers all wanted to touch my hair because it looked so silky and shiny. Even I couldn't stop touching it. I LOVE my new straightner, and the 360 degree cord is awesome, the plates glide effortlessly through my hair. Soooo Goood!!! My only complaint is that I did not qualify for free shipping because I live in Canada, and there were additional COD charges from the douches at UPS. So it ended up costing a lot more and in future I will go through ebay or somewhere else.posted Dec 30, 2011Link to this post
JamieHairCurly HairColor Treated HairNot ImpressedThis product was OK, and prior to using a Hai for two years, I'd probably have been happy. I bought this for the price as it appeared to be a good product from reading the literature. It did straighten my fine and very thick and wavy hair, but it was difficult to get proper straightening to the crown of my head/hair without dents... in the front and it is not nearly as moist and shiny as the Hai left it. Could be my imagination, but "felt" like it was sucking the moisture OUT of my hair and frying it a little. I am going back to a professional iron. Someone gave me a babyliss to try..if not happy, it is the Hair forever, from now on!posted Dec 26, 2011Link to this post
TatyanaHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairWonderful Product!I believe that buying the Infiniti Pro was the best decision in flat irons anyone could make. I have natural hair and every other flat iron I've had would need to be run over multiple times to get the hair straight, but this one works perfectly! I love it!posted Nov 29, 2011Link to this post
Fidelie M.CanadaHairBlackThick or Coarse HairBest Flat IronI have afro hair no any chemical, I used this iron is very very very good I can't even explain how my hair looks, the result was behind my expect comparing the price it's a very good product for a cheap price. The packaging was good and I can trust this website and would recommend this product and the website to anyone.
Thank very much

YasmineHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairMy Natural Hair Too Much For ThisI am transitioning from relaxed to natural, and wanted to rock a straight look for a change, and was disappointed with this flat iron's performance. It promised to reduce frizz by 89%, and it did not. I just think that I need a more professional iron for my thick tresses. The price was right, and I was hoping for pro results. Next time, I will put out the cash for a pro iron.posted Jul 8, 2011Link to this post
LeesaVAHairBlondeNormal HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing Bang For Your Buck!The Conair Infinity Oil Infused Ceramic Flat Iron has blown my mind. I have medium length, wavy, blond hair that is thicker in the back and finer in the front. I usually have to straighten my hair daily and I use a higher setting on the back and a lower setting on the front because I am very concerned about the condition of my hair. I always use straight guard, silk infusion and a heat protecting spray to prevent excess damage and have been using "salon quality" (expensive) flat irons for years because they seemed to damage my hair less. (I hate split ends or dry, fried looking hair.) I am really impressed with the quality and results of this inexpensive flat iron. I have been using this flat iron for 2 weeks now and my hair is as soft and shiny as before with no excess damage. I use it to curl my hair under, flip the ends out or just straighten all with amazing results. It's nice to have people comment on how soft, shiny and healthy my hair looks. I cannot believe that I paid more than twice as much for my last flat iron! I would recommend this flat iron to anyone who wants great results without paying a hefty price.

Code Geass was my shit. finished both seasons
School Days is one of my fav's...the ending makes the whole thing worth watching
Air Gear is good
Tenjo Tenge is good too
Someone Told Me Gurren Lagen *did i spell that right* And For Tha Fanboys Bleach And Naruto, But I Don't See What The Big Deal About Them Is Anyway. Death Note Was Good, I Enjoyed That. Can't Really Like Dragonball-like Soap-Opera Animes That Give You B.S. Fillers More Than Story And Action. Then You Have Stans Saying, " Dood You Should Read The Manga Cause It's Better They Go Harder*pause*Then The Anime."
hajime no ippo
c/s on codea geass and school days....amazing
as far as the anime, tenjou tenge was horrible imo, your better off sticking w the manga (which is excellent)
afro samurai is like the best anime to me
they only made 6 episodes
cause each one cost a million bucks to make
Tokyo Majin is the next on my to watch list.
if u want a real psycho-thriller u should watch gantz. shit has a crazy plot and story line. the manga is a lot better tho and is still going on. the anime is like 24 or 26 episodes. hella graphic too.
The future, probably Japan.
Robots have long been put into practical use, and androids have just come into use.
Influenced by the Robot Ethics Committee, it's become common sense for people to treat androids like household appliances. Their appearance - indistinguishable from humans except for the ring over each android's head – has lead some people to empathize unnecessarily with androids. Known as "android-holics," such people have become a social problem.
Rikuo (Jun Fukuyama), a high school student, has been taught from childhood that androids are not to be viewed as humans, and has always used them as convenient tools. One day Rikuo discovers some strange data in the behavior records of his family's household android.
Rikuo and his friend Masaki (Kenji Nojima) trace Sammy's (Rie Tanaka) movements, only to discover a mysterious caf

The crooked Czech
Trip Start
Aug 17, 2009
Trip End
Jul 20, 2010
Where I stayed
Our arrival in Cesky was pretty interesting. The four of us had planned to take the train from Prague to Cesky where we would meet up with everyone else who was coming from Vienna, but when we were checking into our hostel in Prague they recommended we take the bus instead, as it would be cheaper and faster. Well, it was definitely cheaper (only about 8 euro vs. 25 euro) and shaved 2 hours off the trip, but it was a rather interesting trip. We bought our tickets at the bus station and thankfully had assigned seats, because the other option was to buy them directly from the driver. Apparently this is cheaper, but you don't get a seat. When we pulled out of the bus station in one of those big tour buses the seats were full and there were people standing in the aisle! About the first 90 minutes of the trip was spent with the bus crammed full of people. Alisia and I were worried that the guy standing between us was going to puke, because we watched him get paler and paler and sort of weave where he was standing. He was definitely not feeling well. Thankfully most of the people in the aisles and several sitting got off the bus at the 2nd stop, so the rest of the trip was pretty uneventful and I had a chance to sleep a little, since the "scenery" outside was just highway.
Once we got to Cesky we had to find a taxi driver to drive us to the hotel where everyone had already checked in, which was a little more of an effort than we expected. After settling into the room the group headed over to the main square where we met up with Stanislaw, our tour guide. Stan came to Cesky about 25 years ago so he has seen the town transform from a rundown communist back-water manufacturing town to the "jewel" of the Czech Republic. Stan took us on a tour around the town, up to the 15th century church of St Vitus, which was very beautiful, and then down along the river, through the "puddle square," so named because whenever they get a really heavy rainstorm the square floods, and then we hiked up to the imposing castle, which was built to incorporate the massive rock it sits on. Most of the castle dates from around the 13th and early 14th century, while the interior is typical Baroque (and of course, if it's not Baroque, don't fix it!). Unfortunately, being a small town, even a tourist-centric one, the castle exhibits close about 5pm on Saturday and open in the afternoon on Sunday, so couldn't actually go in the castle. But we did get to see some of the grounds, walk across the castle bridge which links one side to the other across a deep crevice in the rock, and we saw the moat where they keep bears. Most of the time you think of moats as being full of water, but here there have traditionally been bears to guard the entrance. The first ones were put in the moat in the 1600's and there are still 3 who live in the moat, although they are rarely seen during the day, preferring to stay under the stone bridge. We did see a "bear-butt" Sunday morning before we left, but just briefly before he retreated back under the bridge, so they do exist!
After our tour on Saturday I explored the square and the little Christmas market, enjoying a cup of hot punch (passing on the significantly stronger Grog), and doing some window shopping. Saturday night we had a reservation at a restaurant that does a traditionally medieval meal. We had hot mead, soup, a platter of meat and potatoes, and then apple strudel and cinnamon rolls for dessert. It was delicious and so much fun, even if the meat was a little salty. And there was an adorable Lab-mix there in the restaurant with his owner (again with the dogs inside! I love this) and he was so cute begging from us (the dog, not the owner) it was almost like being home.
After dinner the organizers took us over to the bar at the Travelers Hostel, which, like everything else in Cesky, has kept its historic vibe. The bar/common room had the perfect atmosphere: wide planked hardwood floors, scuffed and well-worn wooden tables and benches, carved wood detail, more dogs lounging on the floor, absolutely perfect atmosphere, the only thing missing was a roaring fireplace with some spitted game roasting. We spent the next several hours here just talking. Most of us stuck with Czech wine or beer, but Kit went for the real reason to go to the Czech Republic – Absinth. I can now say I've tried the real stuff, took a tiny sip of his, but couldn't get past the taste or smell of licorice, not that I would really want to anyway. Thanks anyway, I'll stick with my glass Bohemian red wine!
Most of us slept in on Sunday, since we didn't have anywhere to be or really anything to do. But I did get up and get going in time to go out for lunch at, of all places, a Chinese restaurant that overlooked the square. After lunch it was shopping time! Spent more money than I intended but got some great souvenirs before heading back to the hotel to pack up and head home.
As with Prague I could easily have spent more time here. The town is GORGEOUS and so much fun. In the summer they have a medieval festival that I think would be great to go to sometime.

Ah Willie! First there was the disappointment when I found out that you and the rest of the gang didn't even stay in our lovely state (Florida) for more than a few hours, and then you don't even mention our show at all! We were a great audience, probably the best and loudest singers and most active participants. Seats were unnecessary as I believe the only people sitting during the show were those in wheelchairs. We truly were a family of 72,000+. I was really looking forward to hearing what your impressions were of how the show went and if you and the lads, also felt the love and the magic, of the night.
All that aside, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and letting us "in" to a world far beyond our usual realm. Take care!

Damnit Willie! I have been waiting for a week to see what your diary entry would be for the Tampa show on Oct 9....and you skipped right past it without even a sneeeze of a mention.

Detroit Area Study, 1993: Health and Aging (ICPSR 2839)
Principal Investigator(s): Rodgers, Willard
The 1993 Detroit Area Study explored a variety of issues related to health, the effects of aging, living conditions, and participation in civic life in the Michigan tri-county area of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. A battery of questions probed respondents' perceptions of their health and mental state and those of their spouse, their ability to perform certain physical and mental activities, and the effect of their emotional state on their appetite and sleeping patterns. Other explored their feelings about neighborhood safety, means of transportation, relationships, accommodation, the portrayal of older people on television programs, and the treatment of older people by employers. The survey also sought respondents' opinions about government, their personal financial situation and problems, money management, savings and investments, and their life as a whole. Additional items questioned respondents about the frequency of their visits to the doctor, overnight hospitalization, chronic health conditions, smoking and drinking habits, and medical coverage, as well as electoral participation, political party preference, ideological leanings, class self-identification, assistance received from community organizations, family, and friends, personal regrets, and time spent watching television and engaging in pleasurable activities. Other questions gauged respondents' memory, vision, and motor skills. Respondents also provided demographic information on sex, age, marital status, race, ethnicity, religion, and education.
