There is a good selection of restaurants along Angel Kunchev. Moroccan was out as I had had a bad experience in the Atlas Mountains with a tangine of "bag-pipe meat" a few years before. A la carte was not possible either because I am cheap, so when we stumbled across a new place, The Olive Garden, we decided to check out the inside and the menu.
Set in a beautiful old three-storey building, the ground floor had been renovated before opening six weeks ago. Hence the upper floors were still looking a little shabby from the outside but the interior was contemporary, well-designed and had a very laid back atmosphere. The English-speaking waitress smiled as we entered and asked if we had reserved; the fact we hadn't was not a problem. I ordered a beer before sitting down which had arrived by the time I shook the rain off my jacket, together with a basket of complimentary hot (and fresh) rolls, butter and a garlic pesto dip. Nice start!
Inside the furnishing was solid wood with bench seating along a couple of the walls painted a light olive green. Alcoves in the walls housed antique wine bottles; around the windows the designer had painted detailed white shutters and candles dotted around the walls and flat areas gave off ambient light.
Menus were brought and on first inspection the choice seemed limited to a range of salads, a handful of appetisers, a good selection of pasta dishes and only nine main courses. My vegetarian girlfriend commented there wasn't much choice for her but agreed to give it a go.
A sort of Mediterranean-fusion menu, it had a few interesting dishes which were well described in the accompanying text and, unlike most other Bulgarian eateries, where you are given a menu the size of the Old Testament, I found it quite easy to choose my main course – lamb chops with rosemary and Dijon sauce. This always appears to be a little challenging for a Bulgarian chef as the local lamb is seasonal (unless the owner has a Metro card) and most Bulgarians seem to like it incinerated way beyond the juicy pink I prefer.
The rest of the order consisted of tubule salad (an Armenian favourite of beloved – 5.95 leva), Humus with fresh pita bread (4.95 leva), spinach penne (9.95 leva) for her main, and of course the fabled lamb chops (18.95 leva) for me. A small bottle – I was pacing myself – of No Man's Land red (8.99 leva) was also requested.
The starters arrived in good fashion and the bowel of humus was a huge creamy beige affair, served in a bowl with a splash of olive oil, a smattering of paprika and whole chickpeas for effect. I don't really know why I ordered it as I don't even like humus, but beloved had never tried it and I wanted to appear sophisticated and worldly, so I went for it.
I now like humus (much to my relief) but the size of the serving was about twice as big as it needed to be. If you order it, I suggest – unless you are very, very hungry – order between you. She said her tubule salad was the best she had ever had in a restaurant. Her only critique was that it needed more lemon juice. After we conveyed this to the waitress, she presented two whole lemons before beloved had taken her third mouthful.
Opting to leave nearly half the humus intact, we were asked by the smiling waitress if we were ready for our main dishes which were brought out a few moments later.
I'm pleased to say I was quite shocked at the care taken in presentation. My meal actually consisted of a properly dressed French rack of three chunky lamb chops with the light sauce drizzled all over. Next to this was a bed of crisp, lightly sautéed potatoes on top of which sat a few batons of freshly grilled asparagus.
My companion's consisted of a large serving of penne pasta with four spinach balls at each corner of the dish and shavings of fresh parmesan sat proudly on top. After a mouthful or two she declared it to be "wonderful, but massive" and promptly stopped talking to me for the next 10 minutes. This was fine as it gave me time to start the delicate surgery of taking the meat off the bone. Once I had completed this I found that it was indeed pink and juicy and on tasting found it to be some of the sweetest lamb I have ever had.
The sauce was the perfect accompaniment and my only complaint was that I would have happily been served, and would have eaten, a second helping of the French rack. To cite a cliché from the 1980s, it really was to die for! Beloved gave up after polishing off all the spinach balls and only half the pasta, declaring she was too full for a dessert (this really does speak for itself).
In summary, atmosphere was good, food excellent but portion size seems inconsistent. Having said that, I am a greedy, 16-stone ex-rugby player who would eat road-kill if it was prepared properly by a good chef. And this clearly is a good chef. Considering the bill came to less than 50 leva, I have no doubt we will be returning and The Olive Garden will become a favourite of ours.
As we left I was offered the lunch menu to view by our attentive waitress, which consisted of some of the lighter dishes from the dinner menu plus a few other specialities which I would have liked to have seen on the evening menu, all about 25 per cent cheaper and smaller than its bigger brother.
Apparently the rear garden opens soon, so bring on the summer!

I suggest your reviewer doesn't return to the UK or he will be reviewing prison food for a number of years, courtesy of the investors he has ripped off
Great restaurant, nice people and excellent value ..as a regular visit to Sofia I know a fair number of restaurants and this is well located friendly and excellent value
"...only 9 main courses." This is a good thing. So often Bulgarian menus are as you say "the length of the old testament"; But as there is no way all the dishes can be at their best; and often, when brought to the table they bear no resemblance to the menu description. Better a choice of 2 perfectly cooked mains than a book full of pale and tasteless imitations!
Just got back from our first visit to The Olive Garden. It was a pleasantly-warm evening and the garden was very welcoming; our waitress was friendly and helpful. The complimentary heated-up frozen rolls and tapenade were served as we looked through the menu.
We went for the Shopska and Greek salads, with a humus between us. Main courses were the "fabled" lamb chops and the idiosyncratic Fettucine Alfredo.
The salads were fine - nothing outstanding but perfectly acceptable; the humus was pretty bland and far from the best I've tasted (or made). [...]

Whoops - am I really as blind as I seem to be? :(
Nice to see the waitress was attentive......any chance of you emulating her, Simon, and including the telephone number for the restaurant? ;)
Huh, this is not American Olive Garden, is it? God, I hope not! Retch, gag! But if it isn't, it's also not long for this world, coz the name is trademarked. Ciao!

I didn't get paid anything. I wrote it because I was genuinely that impressed with the restaurant and wanted to share our experience. But, if you're offering to pay, we can talk.
How much did you get paid for writing this?
My wife and I had seen The Olive Garden several weeks ago when walking home from another restaurant, and we were intrigued by the beautiful building and what seemed to be a classy yet relaxing atmosphere inside. So, when we saw this review in the Echo yesterday, we decided to give The Olive Garden a try. Great decision! We loved virtually everything. The atmosphere was, in fact, classy yet relaxing, with a number of interesting, creative touches that make for a comfortable, casual experience. Nasko, our server, spoke nearly perfect English. He was genuinely friendly with a sincere smile, knowledgeable [...]

Etiology and diagnosis of systolic murmurs in adults. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20920693 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether echocardiography can provide insights into the origin of systolic murmurs and the modern value of bedside cardiovascular diagnosis. METHODS: The author examined 376 inpatients and compared their physical findings to transthoracic echocardiography, exploring the associations between echocardiography and systolic murmurs and investigating the diagnostic accuracy of physical examination for pathologic murmurs. RESULTS: Four echocardiographic variables predict the presence of systolic murmurs: peak aortic velocity (P <.001); mitral regurgitation severity (P <.001); mitral valve E-point velocity (P=.09); and absence of pericardial effusion (P=.09). When diagnosing murmurs, the most helpful finding is its distribution on the chest wall with respect to the 3(rd) left parasternal space, a landmark that distinguishes murmurs into 6 patterns. The "apical-base" pattern indicates increased aortic velocity (likelihood ratio [LR] 9.7; 95% confidence interval [CI]; 6.7-14): a delayed carotid upstroke (LR 6.8; 95% CI; 4.0-11.5); absent S2 (LR 12.7; 95% CI; 5.3-30.4); and humming quality to the murmur (LR 8.5; 95% CI; 4.3-16.5) further increase the probability of aortic valve disease. The "broad apical" murmur pattern suggests significant mitral regurgitation (LR 6.8; 95% CI; 3.9-11.9); and the "left lower sternal" murmur pattern indicates significant tricuspid regurgitation (LR 8.4; 95% CI; 3.5-20.3): additional bedside observations refine these diagnoses. Nonetheless, this study shows that some classic physical findings are no longer accurate, that physical examination cannot reliably distinguish severe aortic stenosis from less severe stenosis, and that classic physical findings, despite having proven value, are absent in many patients with significant cardiac lesions. CONCLUSIONS: In the diagnosis of systolic murmurs, physical examination has limitations but also unappreciated value. A simple system using onomatopoeia and classifying systolic murmurs into 1 of 6 patterns is diagnostically helpful. |

I would have glued the foam to each individual piece, sewed the channels, then sewed all the pieces together. That way, you are working with small pieces that are easier to move around under the sewing machine. However, I see nothing wrong with the way you did it, you avoided the excess fabric at the seams and the whole top looks very good.
Ed |
I thought about doing that but I was not sure how to do a flat fell seam at the seams with the foam in the way. That being said it was difficult to sew around the outside with that large of a piece resulting in the sew lines being a little eratic. When i added the welting it covered it up.
What you've done so far looks real nice. 9 stitches per inch is normal for sewing furniture fabric, but leather, ultraleather, and vinyl should be sewed with about 6 stitches per inch. If you sew vinyl with 9 stitches per inch, you risk actually cutting the vinyl. Decorative stitches can be slightly larger. Check out this thread, it takes you step by step through what you're trying to do. CLICK HERE
Marking the fabric upside down can be confusing, even for a pro. With leather, you need to see the surface so you can avoid bad spots, so as far as marking vinyl, leather and Ultraleather, I use Fisher #SR80SL silver ink pens. That way I can mark the top of the fabric, and if I make a mistake, I can spray a mild cleaner on it and remove the markings. Now you see it...........Now you don't. I can also make witness marks and even write notes on the fabric parts to identify them that I don't have to worry about. They're available online for about $3, and some art supply stores carry them in stock. One of my upholstery supply vendors carries them in boxes of a dozen.

I have found that for doing the welting that sewing the cover on the cord then sewing the assembly to the face is a whole lot easier than trying to sew three layers at once, the two layers of welt cover and the face. Is this developing a bad habit or just a little more time consuming?
It's fine to do it that way. It is a little more time consuming than sewing the welt as you apply it to the rest of the fabric. The main reason to sew it as you go is to eliminate another layer of stitching.

What type of a machine.
I have a 1955 Chevy. I want to do the upholsetry myself however I don't have a machine. Do you have any suggestions. What I might do is buy one on Craig's list. That is a great challange. Looks good. I have plenty of how to do your own upholstery and it works great. What I might also do is pin it all together and take it to an upholstery shop and let them sew the pieces together. Nick
First of all, read this thread: CLICK HERE This will give you all the basics of doing a bench seat. If you decide to cut it and take it to an upholstery shop, go to the shop first and ask them how they want the parts made. Do not pin the parts together, you would just be wasting your time. Ask the shop how they want the parts collated for sewing. We all have our own ways of doing things, and a lot of shops wouldn't consider sewing someone else's work. You would be better off making chipboard patterns of the parts and letting the shop cut the parts themselves.

when fitting the face pieces to the frame do you generally fit the peice the the cushion top, sew the face to the cushion top then put the assembly over the frame and cushions to mark the lower perimeter of the face? Or is it better to mark the face peice top and bottom before sewing to the cushion top?

The UIC Chancellor's Innovation Fund (CIF)
is a hybrid proof of concept and equity investment fund with an expected commitment of $2 million per year for 5 years.
The CIF has been established at UIC by the Office of the Chancellor in partnership with IllinoisVENTURES to support the commercialization of technology developed by faculty, staff and students at UIC.
Proof of Concept Awards Program
The POC Awards Program will be conducted twice yearly with $500,000 per round available for projects. Grants of up to $75,000 will be awarded for selected projects. To be eligible for funding, projects must be based on a UIC invention that has been disclosed to the Office of Technology Management. We highly encourages faculty inventors to schedule a meeting with their OTM Tech Manager and IllinoisVENTURES to discuss their proposed project prior to submitting a Pre-Proposal Application. This meeting will help generate ideas for creating a competitive proposal and will also allow for a discussion on whether a project or technology may be too early-stage for POC Awards funding.
Equity Investment Fund
IllinoisVENTURES was ranked #1 in gap funding for third-party capital and has spent a decade turning university-derived technologies into profitable businesses. To date, companies funded by IllinoisVENTURES have raised almost $600 million in third party capital, employ over 600 people, and are having a significant global and econoomic impact.By injecting an additional $1 million per year for the next 5 years into IllinoisVENTURES, the UIC Chancellor's Innovation Fund will provide a much-needed boost to seed funding toward transformative university research and innovation.

Notes from several Brunello verticals I've tasted since returning from Italy in April
Posted: August 29, 2011 By Bruce Sanderson
Since my visit to Tuscany in April, I have had opportunities to taste quite a few Brunellos di Montalcino thanks to visiting producers. The first was Col d'Orcia, whose export manager Paola Tealdi presented six vintages of its single-vineyard Poggio al Vento Riserva. Lunch with Riccardo Illy of the Illy coffee company provided the setting for an introduction to his Montalcino estate, Mastrojanni. Francesco Ripaccioli, whose family owns the Canalicchio di Sopra estate, stopped by Wine Spectator's office with almost a dozen bottles spanning 2006 to 1995, including the recently bottled 2006 Riserva.

I spent two days in Montalcino during my trip to Tuacany. I toured the region with Stefano Campatelli, the director of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino and visited five estates. Campatelli also organized a blind tasting of 16 Brunellos, mostly from the 2006 vintage, and nine Rossos, all from 2009. At dinner with the consorzio directors later that evening, we enjoyed some older vintages of Brunello riservas, including Biondi-Santi's dating back to 1955. Here are my notes.

I had dinner the other night in L.A. again with my collector buddy from Hong Kong, Hendra Anwar. We went for some pasta at Angelini Osteria restaurant, which is always good. Hendra brought a couple of Burgundies: 2002 Fontaine-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet and 1991 Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes. I brought a bottle of 1997 Antinori Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso Tenuta Belvedere.
But the most interesting part of the evening for our vinous endeavors was Hendra's insistence that the wine merchant who sold him two cases of bogus 1978 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle was still responsible for the sale after 15 years. (For more on that, check out my April 23 blog.) Yes, he bought the wine 15 years ago and he wants it to be replaced, or get a refund.

What almost ruined his night was that the last wine was a rotten fake.

Looking for a boat for the following purpose:
I am looking to purchase a boat for cruising (offshore/ greek islands). What sort of vessel am I looking at for a job like that? I am looking for something not to large, would something like a contessa 26 do? any good boat suggestions?
Looking for a boat for the following purpose:
Doesn''t that depend on where you are starting from? To cruise the Greek Isles, say starting from New England would take a different kind of boat than if you were starting out in Greece...or did I miss something.
Anyway, If I were going to venture very far in a 26'' boat I would look for one that has already done it. Very special boat. John Gov. |

Germany - Tübingen
From: 2015.10.06 To: 2015.10.14
It's the race you've been training for since before you could walk or talk. Rubber ducks triumph in this university town during Tübingen's annual Entenrennen, or Duck Race, which takes place down the River Necker that courses through this historic town. Seven thousand ducks yellow rubber ducks, almost a third of the city's population, bob along the tree-lined river. The competition starts at midday and anyone with a rubber duck can participate; and if you left yours at home in the bathtub, ducks can be rented before the race. Spectators line the riverbanks to cheer the mass of yellow ducks hoping to speed up their journey to finish.

Heterotopic ossification after 2-incision total hip arthroplasty. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19497706 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
We examined the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) in a consecutive series of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed with the so-called minimally invasive, 2-incision technique. Standard preoperative hip radiographs were used to grade the extent of degenerative arthritis, and comparable follow-up radiographs at 30 months after surgery were used to detect and classify HO formation. Of 121 patients, 32 (26.5%) developed HO, with the Brooker class distribution as follows: stage I, 16 patients; stage II, 9 patients; stage III, 6 patients; stage IV, 1 patient. In this study, HO formation after 2-incision THA occurred with nearly the same frequency as that reported in other studies after standard THA. |

We have transitioned Ask Trevor into a broader, more effective resource for LGBTQ young people and their allies.
Please check out our new FAQ page here: http://TrevorSupportCenter.org
I destroyed my life
I really liked a girl in high school, but then this guy putted in my way so I started like talking to him and I finished falling in love with him, then I got closer and closer and this day I was jocking with him about hot guys, hot famous guys and I told him that he was my boyfriend and he laughed and kissed me and I just returned the kiss, then we start chating and telling that we love each other, then he started like stalking me at school and I just started ignoring him at school but I always apologized by telephone or chat or anything, but then he got tired and told me that he is tired of me. That night I felt so bad and wrong I cuted myself and he hates me, I text him, call him, tweet him and he just hates me. what should i do?
Letter submitted by:
Hi there,
It sounds like you're going through a lot right now, but I want you to know that you can make it through it all. What you're feeling in regards to your sexuality is completely natural and normal – whether you like guys, girls, or both, it's all natural and healthy. But while it's hard to go through something like a break-up, I worry about the fact that you mentioned cutting yourself. People sometimes use cutting as a way to deal with stressful situations. Sometimes when a person feels overwhelmed with life, angry with themselves or another person, or "numb", they use cutting to distract themselves, release their anger, or to make them feel "alive". You may be experiencing some of this right now in reaction to what is going on with the boy that you mentioned.
Keep in mind that cutting can have very harmful effects. While it may help you feel good for a moment, it can cause permanent scarring, infection, and potentially fatal problems if you cut a major blood vessel. Whenever you feel the urge to cut, try channeling that urge through something else. If you're sad, find something to comfort you, like music or your favorite food. If you're angry, trying punching a pillow, stomping your feet, or flattening an empty can of soda. You can also try writing in a journal or drawing to express your thoughts, or running if you need some physical movement. If you're feeling "numb", try putting your hands in cold water or stomping your feet. You can also visit www.safe-alternatives.com and http://www.helpguide.org/mental/self_injury.htm for more information and alternatives.
If you find that you can't stop cutting, please seek help. Talk to an adult whom you can trust, like a parent or a school counselor, so that they can find you the help you need, such as a therapist. If you don't feel comfortable approaching someone, you can call 1-800-DON'T- CUT or the Trevor Lifeline at 1-866-4-U-TREVOR (1-866-488-7386) to discuss what you're going through and talk to someone who can help you find the help you need.
You may be confused about your sexual identity, but, again, remember that no matter who you like, everything is natural. Remember that a person's sexuality is made up of their physical, romantic, and emotional attraction to another person. If you're confused, try to think about who you've had crushes on in the past – guys, girls, or both? No matter what, it's all normal and healthy! Just be yourself and be honest! I encourage you to talk to someone about this, as well. Try talking to someone you can trust. Expressing your feelings about your sexuality may help you figure things out a little more. You may also want to reach out to the boy you mentioned. Though he may have hurt your feelings, keep in mind that you may have also hurt his. Try having an honest conversation with him. You may find that by expressing your feelings openly, you'll be able to make amends and move forward. If he continues to ignore you, then I suggest you respect his space and try to focus on something else. Remember, there are other people out there for you to love and be loved by! If you have any questions about your sexuality, you should visit http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view &id=726&Itemid=336 for more information.
I also encourage you to keep in touch with The Trevor Project community. You can find an accepting community through TrevorSpace, The Trevor Project's social network designed for LGBTQ youth ages 13-24. There is also always someone to offer you advice, either through our online chat service TrevorChat, located at http://www.thetrevorproject.org/chat, or through our lifeline, which you can reach by calling 1-866-488-7386.
I know that writing a letter may have been difficult, but I am so proud of the step you took. And always remember: You are safe. You are loved. You can handle this.

Telos ID has delivered its Mobile Authentication and Authorization Control (MAAC) Visitors system to FedExField, home of the Washington Redskins, substantially enhancing visitor tracking and accountability.
An expansion of the previously deployed MAAC Access system used to credential and verify employees and contractors at the stadium, the MAAC Visitors system extends identity management to include temporary visitors. The system issues temporary badges to visitors, VIPs and contractors requiring access to the facility for day-to-day business as well as on game or event days.
Identifying information is entered into the MAAC system manually or by scanning documentation. As part of the initial verification process, a visitor is checked against watch lists and if clear, a temporary badge is issued to the individual. Badges are customizable by date and facility access. The MAAC Visitors system captures and logs detailed information to provide a complete access history.
"Recently we were asked to verify the dates of attendance for some special clients," said Ed Burke, director of security for FedExField. "With the MAAC Visitors system, we were able to quickly verify their attendance on the date in question."
In February 2010, Telos ID announced it had delivered the MAAC Access system to credential and verify the identities of employees and contractors at FedExField, home of the Washington Redskins.
Built using technologies developed to meet the rigorous security requirements of the Federal government and the Department of Defense, MAAC is a versatile system that leverages a broad range of biometrics devices, and integrates with multiple human resource management, scheduling and payroll systems. MAAC is capable of using simple matching or advanced multi-modal biometrics, and its verification software can operate on mobile or handheld verification devices.

ANTHONY, N.M. (AP) - Authorities are trying to assess the environmental impact and determine the cause of a fire and explosions at a southern New Mexico biofuel facility.
Officials say there were no injuries from the large fire and explosions Tuesday at the Rio Valley Biofuels facility near the town of Anthony, but company Operations Manager Jed Smith tells the Las Cruces Sun-News that nearly all of the facility was destroyed.
Hundreds of homes were evacuated but residents were allowed to return to their homes by early afternoon.
Dona Ana County sheriff's spokeswoman Kelly Jameson says tanks that exploded contained toxic chemicals, including glycerin, hydrochloric acid, methanol, sodium methylate and bio-diesel.
According to Rio Valley Biofuels' website, the company began commercially producing bio-diesel fuel from recycled oil from local food processors in 2006.

JB Conversion output on short shaft D300
I'm looking at the JB web site and it says the HD 32 spline output shaft is not compatible with short shaft D300's. Is this because it just won't work/fit, or is it because it will screwup the driveshaft travel?
I have a short shaft D300 and want to put the HD front and rear outputs in it (along with 4:1 and clock kit) and when it's done I'll be getting a woods CV, plus it's going in a CJ that currently has a long shaft output anyways. Ironically I've emailed JB on this and have gotten no response. TIA |

I read the other day while doing some research on the short shaft D300 that the bolt pattern on the tail cone is different between the short shaft and long shaft D300's. I have no first hand knowledge of this fact, but it may give you something elese to look into or somethign to be able to compare your D300 to the long shaft version in the CJ.

TTT on this one.
I have heard of people swapping long tailcones and outputs on short 300 by drilling and tapping the one tailcone hole that is off. Why couldn't this be done on with the 32 spline kit? I really want to go with the JB conversions over the AA.

This post answered my question on the differences. I assume that the short case doesn't have a flat machined area for this bolt.

Frustration for Bowyer, Keselowski
HAMPTON, Ga.
Engine issues squashed the hopes of the season's first Sprint Cup win for Clint Bowyer and Brad Keselowski on Sunday.
Bowyer led 48 laps at Atlanta Motor Speedway and had a seven-second lead over Joey Logano before the gremlins kicked in after 192 laps. Bowyer, who had an opportunity to make up ground on Jimmie Johnson after a wreck damaged the No. 48 Chevy on Lap 31 and eventually finished 28th, knew instantly from the smell that his engine was terminal.
"It sings a different tune, you know?" Bowyer said. "Like a country music singer, some of them are deep, some of them are high pitch. It was high pitch singing a good tune and then she got a little deep and then she got sick."
Bowyer's 39th-place finish was his worst result this season and his second engine failure in 2013. Bowyer was the third Toyota driver to experience a problem with his engine this weekend. Both Brian Vickers and Denny Hamlin changed engines before the AdvoCare 500.
Still, he remains second in the point standings with a 28-point deficit to Johnson.
"Well, it certainly sucks," Bowyer said. "Everybody has engine issues. We're pushing hard for the Chase to try to win a championship — certainly on the engine category, with our chassis, everything. Real proud of (Brian) Pattie (crew chief) and all the gang.
"We was off a little bit. I think we were probably a sixth- or fifth-place car yesterday. I told them all to make some adjustments and go for a win. And as soon as the track got going into the night there we gained some grip and our car really took off. It was ours to lose, and, unfortunately, we found a way to lose. I'm going to have a beer."
Bowyer still feels confident about battling for the championship, but the possibility for a repeat for Keselowski is slipping away. Keselowski also had a dominant run going over Logano and led 31 laps before his engine — and likely his Chase hopes — expired on Lap 311.
The defending Sprint Cup champion led 31 laps when he felt his power slipping away on Lap 244 but nursed the No. 2 Ford an additional 71 laps before retiring in 35th place. With one race remaining to decide the Chase field, Keselowski is 15th in the point standings, without a win and 28 points outside of 10th place.
"What can you do? You can sit here and be mad and stomp your feet and be a jerk about it, but it broke," Keselowski said. "I'm beyond frustration. At this point you're just looking about going, 'This must be some kind of test to prove how strong we are and what our character is' because I believe in the people I'm around. I think they're doing the right things, but it's just not working.
"So I'm reserved to this being a test, and I love challenges and this is gonna be one hell of a challenge."

In brief
"The Shining Girls" is a genre-bending thriller that hits every important mark with confidence and swagger.
I need to piece some things together. I need to make a chart; draw a diagram; create a companion volume with itineraries, timelines and lists of personal effects. In short, I need to make sense of what I just read. Time-travel books do that though, right? They throw us off-kilter. Their obliteration of our most unyielding reality, that time only goes one way and there are no take-backs, leaves them uniquely qualified to punch holes in that barrier between fiction and real life. You might close the book, but the sense of something being unresolved, out of place, unfinished still lingers.
Of course The Shining Girls is much more than a time-travel novel. Author Lauren Beukes deftly incorporates suspense, historical fiction, horror and even a little bit of romance into the mix, delivering a work that's ultimately five stars worth of ambition and execution.
The story itself centers around a Depression-era drifter from Chicago named Harper Curtis. Curtis has stumbled on a gateway that allows him to travel through time. He uses this newfound portal to identify women with great potential and kill them before they fulfill it. One of his victims, Kirby Mazrachi, survives his attack and sets out to bring the killer to justice. Enlisting the help of former homicide reporter Dan Velasquez, Kirby gradually pieces together what amounts to an impossible puzzle.
The Shining Girls has gotten a fair amount of press, even being compared to Gillian Flynn's blockbuster, Gone Girl. As we know, where there's hype backlash is sure to follow. Is The Shining Girls perfect? No. Are there legitimate criticisms? Sure, but here's thing: The Shining Girls is good enough to rise above its occasional missteps and clichés and provide readers with a first-rate and multifaceted thriller.

One of the first known patients was reported after World War II by Norwegian neurologist Georg Herman Monrad-Krohn. He described a Norwegian woman who was hit on the head by a bomb fragment during the war and began to speak with a German-like accent. Because of her speech, she became the target of anti-German sentiment.
More recent cases include a Florida woman speaking with a British accent, a Japanese woman sounding to other Japanese as if she were Korean and a South Carolina man developing a French-like accent.
"I have only seen a couple of people with [foreign accent syndrome] ... and I've seen a lot of stroke patients in my time," said Dr. Julius Fridriksson, an associate professor of neuroscience at the University of South Carolina who worked with the South Carolina patient. "These folks have brain damage that alters the way the neurological system works."
While it may be true that musical taste resides in the ear of the beholder, it is somewhat less common that a song can send a listener into an epileptic seizure.
But such was the experience of Stacey Gayle. Worse, the song that brought about her seizure was by dancehall reggae artist Sean Paul -- a favorite or hers.
"It was terrible," Gayle, a 24-year-old New Yorker, told ABCNews.com. "It didn't even have to be that loud."
One of Gayle's first music-induced seizures happened at a cookout where the song "Temperature" was being played. Some time after this, she had a similar experience at a restaurant.
The seizures were so bad that Gayle finally had part of her brain surgically removed in an effort to control her problem.
"She realized her life was going out of control with these seizures happening," said Dr. Ashesh Mehta, the director of epilepsy surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
Mehta recalled meeting Gayle in February to discuss her condition. When Gayle's mother played '"Temperature" on an MP3 player for her daughter to hear, a music-induced seizure followed.
"It was amazing to me," said Mehta. "We got a seizure when we put her music on."
Brain researchers believe such seizures can occur when the part of the brain that processes emotions associated with a certain type of music overlap with areas of the brain that trigger seizures.
About 70 percent of people with epilepsy are able to control their seizures through medication. For those who still have seizures or cannot handle the side effects of the medication, doctors consider brain surgery.
"We did try a number of different anti-seizure medications, but it was clear that her epilepsy was not responding," said Dr. Alan Ettinger, chief of the epilepsy center at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. "In her case, in addition to music setting off the epilepsy, even the very thought of the song started to provoke the seizures."
While pain is a sensation that few of us relish, the absence of it can be tremendously hazardous. And for a young child, the lack of ability to feel pain can be especially dangerous.
Such is the case with 8-year-old Gabby Gingras, whose parents recently learned that she had a rare condition known as hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy, or HSAN for short.
