Comments about Catchmaster Scented Bug and Fly Catcher:
One of my crew members is always bothered by biting flies while mowing. He attaches these around the brim of his hat to catch the annoying insects and swears by them. I always keep some on hand for him in the summer.

Britney's Bedroom Curious as to what Britney Spears's bedroom looks like? Of course you are. And now you can find out with a visit to the Onyx hotel in Boston, which is creating a room just like hers. (Britney's mom, Lynne, is on the decorating team, to ensure authenticity.) The room, done up in shades of soft green, cream and burgundy, will feature a romantic king-sized bed enveloped in mosquito netting, with walls adorned with stenciled gold fairies and Britney's platinum records (bolted in). So, how much will this peek into Brit's boudoir set you back? A mere $259 per night – 10 percent of which will go to the Britney Spears Camp for the Performing Arts in Cape Cod.

We tried it last week at the 40th anniversary celebration of the Ford Mustang at Manhattan Automobile Company, asking what he hopes to achieve by his own 40th birthday. "I already did everything," the rocker, 33, told Daily Insider. "Everything from here on out is a bonus." Okay, so is there anything left for him to do? "I'm sure there is," he said, "I just don't know her name yet." Well, all righty then.

And the lucky winner was Samantha Trenk, 24, from Bedminster, N.J. The show was taped three weeks ago, though the outcome was kept secret. On Monday's "Ellen DeGeneres Show," Mesh (without revealing his selection) told DeGeneres that he's stayed in touch with his choice and they talk every day, a fact Trenk confirmed on Tuesday morning's news programs.

By Alan R. Elliott, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY01/03/2013 05:42 PM ET
For more than a week, the finance sector has seen increasing numbers of stocks reaching new highs.
On Wednesday, 36 finance stocks hit new highs vs. 25 new highs among building stocks and 19 among energy industries.
IBD follows a total of 13 finance industry groups. Eight of those make up the finance sector. The sector's two top industries are No. 4-ranked mortgage services and No. 23-ranked investment bankers/brokers.
Mortgage services is a long-standing leader among industry groups, with names including Ocwen Financial Group (OCN), Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) and Walter Investment Management (WAC) at the top of the list.
CoreLogic (CLGX) has also made a solid recent run and is queued up in a cup-with-handle base.
In the investment bankers group, Piper Jaffray (PJC) continues to bang out new highs. Duff & Phelps (DUF) spiked 20% this week on news that it was being acquired by a private equity firm for $665 million.
Overall, the finance sector currently holds three Sector Leaders, stocks with exceptional fundamental and price performance, more than any other sector. Those are Encore Capital Group (ECPG), Financial Engines (FNGN) and FleetCor Technology (FLT).
Encore holds a 96 Composite Rating and is just below a 31.01 buy point in a three-month cup base. The company buys, then works to collect, mostly delinquent credit card and other accounts. The stock is thinly traded, but has rising pretax margins and solid sales and earnings growth. Its up-down volume ratio is 2.1, a sign of institutional buying pressure.
FleetCor owns a 98 Composite Rating and is snatching new highs, up 33% since clearing its most recent base in August. The IBD 50 company provides credit cards and services used to fuel corporate fleets.
Financial Engines also rates a 98 and is taking out new highs. It cleared a nine-month cup-with-handle base Nov. 7, and is extended 14% above the 24.60 buy point. The company's technology helps consumers involved in employer-sponsored contribution plans to manage their portfolios and finances.

UNI is a very good team, and the principles that GMAC installed are still there, as are most of his players. ISU has four players back from a crappy year last year. So this loss is tough, but knowing the future of Iowa State will be nothing but better makes it easier to take. It is going to take some time to get them all playing together, and playing GMAC basketball.
just knowing that we should have won this game (and could have if Jiri passed up 5 to 10 of his shots) makes me confident we have a bright immediate future. UNI is the only NCAA tournament team we'll play before ohio state, and I thought we played them pretty well.
If you can call any loss a "good" loss this is one of them. Lots of things to go back and watch the tape on that they can teach and work on improving. I think this team is still quite a ways away from what it will look like by the end of the season. UNI is a good team, I think this is a loss that can really help this ISU team keep that hunger for getting better with every game.
UNI is a good team. We also created too many opportunities for them tonight with silly mental errors and not being as physical as we were against MN.
UNI showed discipline when it mattered and we didn't, and that made all the difference.
Go Cyclones!!
I didn't think us being not physical was the problem. We got our butts kicked downlow against Minny but that wasn't the case tonight. Our problem was that we let Brook "bleepin" McKowen score 27 on us. He is not that good but we sure made him look that good. Our interior scoring was around the same as theres. Stout had 8 and Coleman 17 (6 coming on fastbreak dunks)
I think we will be okay down the road... However, UNI is solid. Coleman and his free dunks were getting out of hand. Still cant believe Brooks put that many up on us! I'd be very suprised if UNI doesnt win out in-state this year
They will. They will go NCAA, we will be NIT, Iowa will be sitting.

A simple delegation rule is the acronym SMART, or better still, SMARTER. It's a quick checklist for proper delegation. Delegated tasks must be:
Traditional interpretations of the SMARTER acronym use 'Exciting' or 'Enjoyable', however, although a high level of motivation often results when a person achieves and is given recognition for a particular delegated task which in itself can be exciting and enjoyable, in truth, let's be honest, it is not always possible to ensure that all delegated work is truly 'exciting' or 'enjoyable' for the recipient. More importantly however, the 'Ethical' aspect is fundamental to everything that we do, assuming you subscribe to such philosophy.

This study attempts to analyse the priorities accorded to Education by the federal as well as the provincial governments. Since education is in large part a provincial responsibility, a comparative analysis of the performance of the public sector education in the four provinces of Pakistan would be useful to provide feedbacks to the provincial administrations of relative strengths and weaknesses of their educational system. Also, differences in priorities and performance among provinces provide useful insights, and, more importantly, raise many questions for planners. Such an analysis is also necessary for overall resource allocation. The analysis will be extended to district level but confined to Punjab and Sindh due to data constraints. The study will also examine the disparities in budget allocations to education in the two provinces.

dc.description.abstract |
Currently, fossil fuels and nuclear power are our primary energy sources. However, both have critical disadvantages due to the limited supply and the hazard issues. Renewable energy research becomes one of most important research topics in the 21st century. Nanostructured materials show unique electrochemical properties in various energy conversion or storage devices. This dissertation starts with fundamental optical studies of nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes), followed by synthesizing novel nanomaterials for energy conversion (solar cells) and storage (lithium ion batteries) devices.

 (1) There is an on-going debate concerning the ability of double walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) to exhibit photoluminescence (PL). We aim to clearly resolve this debate through the study of carefully separated DWNTs using density gradient ultra-centrifugation (DGU). Here, we clearly show that light is emitted from the inner wall of DWNTs. Interestingly, it was found that a very narrow range of diameters of the inner walls of DWNTs is required for photoluminescence (PL) to be observable. All other diameters led to complete PL quenching in DWNTs. (2) Inexpensive dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) on flexible plastic substrates have a bright future, but they require low temperature annealing (< 200°C). The method to fabricate low temperature DSSCs should resolve poor electron transfer between titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) due to their incomplete contiguity and insulating layer of organic residues from binders in the photoactive film. Here, we have developed uniform CNTs/TiO2 composites for low temperature DSSCs by using modified sol gel method. DSSCs were fabricated to study incorporating functionalized few walled carbon nanotubes (f-FWNTs) effect on TiO2 NPs. Incorporating f-FWNTs can be beneficial for the low temperature annealing process of DSSCs to overcome extremely poor electron transport through TiO2 photoactive film. Incorporating f-FWNTs with TiO2 active layer improves electrons transport in some degree, but this advantage is limited. (3) Conductive fillers, such as amorphous carbon, carbon nanotube and graphene, have been mixed with nanostructured metal oxide materials to improve the performance of electrode materials in energy storage devices. However, ineffective junctions between conductive fillers are limiting the overall conductivity of the electrode. Therefore, we developed a convenient, inexpensive and scalable method for synthesizing hybrid carbon and titanium dioxide (C/TiO2) co-gels and co-aerogels to improve their electrochemical capacity in lithium ions batteries (LIBs). The monolith of the hybrid C/TiO2 co-aerogel can be directly used as active electrodes without the addition of binders. As a result, the capacitance of LIB anodes using the hybrid co-aerogel is significantly improved over current LIBs based on carbon/titanium oxide composite. Other metal oxides could also form co-gels with carbon to improve their potentials in numerous electrochemical, photocatalytic, and photoelectronic devices.

Six MU student designers created 29 dresses inspired by plants for the Mizzou Botanic Garden Fashion Show on Saturday.
"It's a whole new experience for me because this is the first time when they're like 'take this,' and I make something based off that, instead of trying to develop everything from nothing," said Elise Lammert, one of the six designers from the MU Textile and Apparel Management Department who presented at the show.
Mizzou Botanic Garden organized the event to remind the community that the garden exists, said Karlan Seville, manager of communications at MU Campus Facilities.
"The whole MU campus is a big garden itself that all MU students are able to live in," said Madeline Beyer, an information specialist at MU Campus Facilities.
Popcorn Drift was one of the flowers that inspired Lammert. The dress embodied the characteristics of the flower, with colors that start out yellow and fade out to cream white, reminiscent of butter-drenched popcorn.
Coleus Under the Sea King Crab stretched out on the dress created by designer Molly Elizabeth Akin, the leaf giving the appearance of a rare mix of bold and fine textures.
Akin said she wanted to take advantage of the show as an opportunity to express herself.
"I have to design based on first having a solid purpose to fill my inspiration," Akin said. "And so, with two of my garments that I've entered tonight, both of them were inspired by friends who had gone through hardships or by nature and just kind of like God's creation and everything like that."
Supervising editor is Simina Mistreanu.

Embodied Cognition
The Deep Mind of Demis Hassabis - "The big thing is what we call transfer learning. You've mastered one domain of things, how do you abstract that into something that's almost like a library of knowledge that you can now usefully apply in a new domain? That's the key to general knowledge. At the moment, we are good at processing perceptual information and then picking an action based on that. But when it goes to the next level, the concept level, nobody has been able to do that." (previously: 1,2) [more inside]

False memories of fabricated political events [ABSTRACT]. In the largest false memory study to date, 5,269 participants were asked about their memories for three true and one of five fabricated political events. Each fabricated event was accompanied by a photographic image purportedly depicting that event. Approximately half the participants falsely remembered that the false event happened, with 27% remembering that they saw the events happen on the news. Political orientation appeared to influence the formation of false memories, with conservatives more likely to falsely remember seeing Barack Obama shaking hands with the president of Iran, and liberals more likely to remember George W. Bush vacationing with a baseball celebrity during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. A follow-up study supported the explanation that events are more easily implanted in memory when they are congruent with a person's preexisting attitudes and evaluations, in part because attitude-congruent false events promote feelings of recognition and familiarity, which in turn interfere with source attributions.

The Arizona man divorced Jeff Bezos' mother when he was a baby.
Jeff Bezos and his company, Amazon.com, are the subject of a new book, "The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon," scheduled to be released next week.
SEATTLE – The story of Jeff Bezos being raised by an adoptive father is hardly new. The Amazon.com Inc. CEO has said previously that he never knew his biological father, and the only time he thinks about him is when he fills out medical forms.
But in his forthcoming book, Bloomberg BusinessWeek senior writer Brad Stone unearths Ted Jorgensen, and finds a sympathetic figure who had no idea that one of the world's most successful businessmen is his son. Instead, the onetime circus performer expresses regret that he walked away from the son he fathered when he was 18.
"I wasn't a good father or a husband," Jorgensen told Stone in "The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon," which has been excerpted in the current issue of Bloomberg BusinessWeek and will be available in bookstores, as well as Amazon.com, next week. "It was really all my fault."
While Bezos has been largely dismissive of his biological father in interviews over the years, Jorgensen has been entirely oblivious about his son. The 18-year-old Jorgensen, who was an expert unicycle rider who performed with a local circus, married Bezos' mother, the 16-year-old Jackie Gise, after she was pregnant. But the young Jorgensen stayed out late and drank, dropped out of college and wasn't interested in getting a job. About 17 months after young Jeffrey's birth, Gise filed for divorce.
Three years later, Gise told Jorgensen, according to Stone's book, that she was remarrying and wanted him to stay out of their lives. Jorgensen complied.
"He lost track of the family and then forgot their last name," Stone wrote.
Stone found Jorgensen at his bike shop in Glendale, Ariz., late last year and told him that Bezos was his son. The 69-year-old had no idea who Bezos was. Stone had to pull up photos on his phone to explain.
"His eyes filled with sorrow and disbelief," Stone said.
The excerpt, and likely the book itself, go into much more detail about Amazon than Bezos. And Stone acknowledges that Bezos, while approving many interviews with family, friends and senior executives, did not comment for the book, saying it was "too early" for a look at Amazon's history.

The retail area manager oversees and directs other employees, typically in one section or department of the retail store. This professional handles a number of managerial responsibilities, such as directing workers to perform tasks, assigning individuals to specific areas of the retail space, training new hires, holding interviews for prospective workers, and providing feedback and help for employees as needed. The retail area manager is also responsible for ensuring work in their area of responsibility is completed efficiently, as well as implementing new procedures or methods to increase productivity. They generally reports to the store manager, although they may report to the general manager on occasion (such as a biweekly or monthly basis) to report on how the store is doing, improvements being made, and suggestions for future growth. The retail area manager may be promoted to the store manager, and then further promoted to regional manager, based on performance and how long the employee has been with the company.

Retail Area Managers often transition into Retail District Manager positions, for which compensation tends to be much higher. On average, Retail District Managers earn $70K per year. Retail Area Managers go on to become Retail Store Assistant Managers more often than anything even though median pay for the role is $32K. Retail Area Managers who move into an Operations Manager role, another well-traveled path for those in this field, tend to find salaries of $59K.
Survey results imply that Retail Area Managers put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, facility with Team Leadership and Sales Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 45 percent and 4 percent, respectively. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Merchandising, Customer Service, and Operations Management. Those with knowledge of Customer Service tend to be skilled in Sales Management as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Retail Area Managers with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $50K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $55K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Retail Area Managers bring in $59K after working for 10 to 20 years. Folks who have racked up more than 20 years in the field report incomes that aren't that much higher than less experienced individuals' earnings; the veterans make just $61K on average.

- Work in pairs
- Change roles often!
- Follow the design recipe for every problem.
Abstraction Over Values
Sometimes when we solve problems, we find that the solution to one problem looks a lot like the solution to another one. Check out these functions and data definition: (from now on we will leave out the definition for lists, and use the
[listof X]
notation);; A [listof Number] is one of ;; -- empty ;; -- (cons Number [listof Number]) ;; lon-add2 : [listof Number] -> [listof Number] ;; Add two (2) to each element of the given list of numbers (define (lon-add2 lon) (cond [(empty? lon) empty] [else (cons (+ (first lon) 2) (lon-add2 (rest lon)))])) ;; lon-add5 : [listof Number] -> [listof Number] ;; Add five (5) to each element of the given list of numbers (define (lon-add5 lon) (cond [(empty? lon) empty] [else (cons (+ (first lon) 5) (lon-add5 (rest lon)))]))Is it clear what each function does? You are hopefully asking "Why would you do that?!" since they are almost exactly the same.
Exercise 1:
Write a function namedlon-add-n
that abstracts both of the functions above, taking an extra argument, which is the number to be added to each element.Note: Follow the recipe for abstraction...
Exercise 2:
Rewrite (recreate) bothlon-add2
using your more general function, and write a few tests for each to be sure they work as expected.Abstraction Over Functions
As you've seen in class, functions in DrRacket (as in many other nice programming languages) are considered data just like
Suppose we implemented this function:5
or(list 'hello)
. We can name them withdefine
s, return them from and pass them to other functions, and even store them in structures.;; lon-sub-n : [listof Number] Number -> [listof Number] ;; Subtract 'n' from each element of the given list of numbers (define (lon-sub-n lon n) ...)This looks like the function you just implemented right? Substitute
and they are actually the same. Substitution... Isn't that just what "plugging-in" does?Exercise 3:
If you were to abstract these two functions into a single, more general one, What would be its contract?
Be Precise... you will need another arrow (
) in it.Exercise 4:
Write the function, name itlon-do-n
, that abstracts both of the functions, taking an extra argument, which is the function to be applied to each element and the given number.Exercise 5:
Rewrite (or write) bothlon-add-n
using your more general function, and write a few tests for each to be sure they work as expected.More Abstraction
Important: Change your DrRacket language level to "Intermediate Student with lambda" (and there was much rejoicing...). If
isn't familiar then please review Section 18 of HtDP.Here's a function that returns a function:
;; add-n : ?? (define (add-n n) (local [(define (f m) (+ n m))] f))If you get confused by all the variable names, then run "Check Syntax" and use your mouse to see how all of them interact.
Exercise 6:
Fill in its contract and give it a meaningful purpose statement... again, you need another arrow, right?Exercise 7:
Write some tests for it. After you figure out the purpose, this should be easy.Hint: In order to test a function that returns a function, you will have to apply the result to something, e.g.:
((add-n 5) 7) ;; => 12If it makes you more comfortable, use a definition to name the function that is returned, then call that on an argument.Exercise 8:
Review DrRacket's built-in abstract functions here. Usemap
to rewritelon-add-n
from above (remember, subtraction is like adding a negative number, right?). Use yourcheck-expect
s from earlier to be sure your newly designed functions operate the same as before. Question: Do all the contracts match up accordingly?DrRacket's "loop" functions
Remember all that stuff we did with lists and structural recursion? Well, DrRacket has built-in functions to help us write functions that deal with lists. (See here.)
For the functions below, remember that DrRacket has the functions
built-in; both are(Number -> Boolean)
.Exercise 9:
Design a functionall-odd?
that takes a[listof Number]
and returnstrue
if all the numbers in the list are odd, andfalse
otherwise. Hint: useandmap
.Exercise 10:
Design the same function, call itall-odd-2?
, but useormap
this time. Hint: if all the numbers are odd, then none of them are even, right?Exercise 11:
Design the functionbetween
that takes two numbers (saylow
) and returns a list of all numbers fromlow
(inclusive). Usebuild-list
Hint: The first argument tobuild-list
is the length of the list that you want to build. The second argument is a function that takes an argument i and returns the item that you want to be at position i in the list (starting from 0!).Exercise 12:
Using your functionbetween
, design the functionevens
that takes two numbers, and returns a list of all the even numbers in that range. Usefilter
.Exercise 13:
, implement the functionsum
that computes the sum of all the elements in a list of numbers.Study this function definition:
;; minus-all : Number [listof Number] -> Number ;; Subtract all the numbers in the list from the given one (define (minus-all n lon) (foldl - n lon)) (minus-all 20 empty) ;==> 20 (minus-all 20 (list 5 2)) ;==> 13 (minus-all 20 (list 5 4 3 2 1)) ;==> 5Exercise 14:
Why doesn't this function work? Fix the function so that it produces the correct results. Hint: subtraction is not commutative... i.e., it is order dependent.Finally Something Fun...
Ok... now that we're through all that, we'll design some animation functions, and put them all together with the loop functions to get a fun little program.
Here's our world definitions:
(require 2htdp/image) (require 2htdp/universe) ;; **************************** ;; A World is a [listof Rect] ;; A Rect is: ;; (make-rect Posn Posn String) ;; where the first posn is the rect's current position, the second ;; is its velocity (speed in x and y) and the string is its color (define-struct rect (pnt vel color)) ;; Gravitational Acceleration (define G-ACCEL 2) ;; Width and Height of each rectangle (define RW 10) (define RH 10) ;; Width and Height of the Scene (define SW 400) (define SH 400)In other words, our world is a list of
(blocks). Each one knows where it is (pnt
), its velocity vector (vel
) and itscolor
.Exercise 15:
Design the functiongravity
([listof Rect] -> [listof Rect]
) that adds (remember Y is upside down on the screen) theG-ACCEL
constant to they
component of the velocity of each element of the World. Usemap
.Exercise 16:
Design the functionmove
([listof Rect] -> [listof Rect]
) that moves eachRect
one step in the direction it is headed. Usemap
Hint: (Xnew, Ynew) = (Xold + Xvel, Yold + Yvel)Exercise 17:
Design the functiononly-on-screen
([listof Rect] -> [listof Rect]
) that removes theRect
s that are not on the screen from the world. Usefilter
.Exercise 18:
Design the functiondraw
([listof Rect] -> Scene
) that draws all theRect
s into an empty-scene, size (SW
). Usefoldl
. Hint: Fill in the general contract offoldl
with specific "types" (Rect
), then design a local function to match.
Finally: Now, as a final step, use this code to finish off the World simulation. Drag your mouse on the screen to see what happens!!;; new-rect : Number Number -> Rect ;; Create a new Rect at the given point (define (new-rect x y) (make-rect (make-posn x y) (make-posn (- (random 14) 7) (- (random 10))) (cond [(= (random 2) 0) "red"] [else "orange"]))) ;; tick : World -> World ;; Make updates to the world... gravity, movement, and filter (define (tick lob) (only-on-screen (move (gravity lob)))) ;; mouse : World Number Number String -> World ;; On drag, create random Rects (define (mouse lob x y me) (cond [(string=? me "drag") (cons (new-rect x y) lob)] [else lob])) (big-bang empty (on-tick tick) (on-mouse mouse) (on-draw draw))If you finish early, try having the rectangles bounce when they reach the bottom, or when they collide with each other!

Doug Wolfgang is one of the most celebrated and colorful sprint car drivers of all time. In this book, co-written with Dave Argabright, Wolfie tells his story in his own words, reflecting on his career and the sport of auto racing.
Lone Wolf is pure Wolfgang - direct, honest, insightful and funny. It's a must-read for racing fans. Hardcover bound. 300 pages.
Jan Opperman was a larger-than-life dirt track racing legend who stormed on the scene in the late 1960's, dominated sprint car circuits throughout the 1970's and helped define the Outlaw movement.
John Sawyer's recently re-issued biography captures Opperman's charisma with colorful quotes and lively writing. This is required reading for dedicated sprint car fans.
Whether you're a longtime Speedway customer or simply a nostalgia buff, you'll love these vintage black and white Speedway prints showcasing the company's old "N" Street facility.
The 16" x 20" images are printed on coated heavyweight paper and autographed by "Speedy" Bill.
Whether you're a longtime Speedway customer or simply a nostalgia buff, you'll love these vintage black and white Speedway prints showcasing the company's old "N" Street facility.
The 16" x 20" images are printed on coated heavyweight paper.
The 'Speedy' Bill Smith Story. If you know anything about 'Speedy' Bill, you can guess what's in this book. Over 350 pages total and 32 of them with pictures! You will read about the man, the business that he built, the roads he traveled and the people he met. It's the Limited Edition version that is serial numbered with a leather cover.
120 pages, printed on high-quality stock, packed with hundreds of full color photos ... great historical photos of "The Dude," to accompany the many hardcore sprint car racing shots. Written by Mike Bennett, a veteran USA Today and Gannett Publications racing writer.
This is garage sale priced because it has been discontinued.
"The on-track stories are good, but the off-track exploits are even better. Any stories involving famous racers and South American brothers are worth the price of admission."
"Bill Simpson with the Beatles, Bill Simpson the safety pioneer, Bill Simpson in handcuffs, Bill Simpson the racer, Bill Simpson crashing through a restaurant with his boat, Bill Simpson sets himself on fire and wins a court case, Bill Simpson tests his first drag chute and goes to jail via the woods..."
Written by Bill Simpson himself with help from his friend and renowned motor-sports author, Bones Bourcier.
Some of the most entertaining stories of the "Good Old Days" ever committed to the written word. Roger holds nothing back and we thank him for preserving these stories, some relayed, some lived firsthand. 215 pages, non-fiction.
More than a decade ago, motorsports safety pioneer Bill Simpson published "Racing Safely, Living Dangerously," intended to be both a memoir of sorts and a guided tour into the topsy-turvy world of big-time automobile racing. The book, which drew widespread acclaim, chronicled Simpson's race-driving career – from the streets and drag strips of Southern California all the way to the Indianapolis 500 – and took readers along for a raucous ride as both the author and his beloved sport matured. Well, sort of.
That book was meant to cap a wonderful career, but it turned out the Bill Simpson story was still unfolding. "Through the Fire," the recently-released sequel, tracks Simpson's tumultuous journey since 2001, from the death of his friend Dale Earnhardt and the emotional storm that resulted, to his battles with sanctioning bodies and various governing groups, to his thoughts on racing's old-school heroes and the new-school kids still on their way up the ladder.
And, as those who know Simpson might expect, from time to time a good old-fashioned race party breaks out on the book's pages, and the readers are invited to pour a drink and pull up a chair.
In "Through the Fire," Bill Simpson pulls no punches. In fact, he throws a few. It's a must-read book for anyone interest in American motorsports.

Here are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:• Many States, One Car:If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in Dallas, Texas to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay. May be no effect, but don't assume you can crisscross the globe with unlimited mileage impunity. There may be a GPS tracker in the car!
• Leave Nothing Behind:At a road trip's end, we find we've accumulated souvenirs, kitschy mementoes, and piles of brochures from tourist attractions. These treasures prove you really traveled -- that it wasn't just some wacky delusion. When dropping off your rental car, carefully check every door pocket, drink holder and storage bin for these keepsakes. The rental car company sure doesn't have any use for them.
• Book your reservation in advance.Rates can vary drastically, even for the same rental car in Dallas Texas. By booking your car early, you can avoid last minute rate increases. It can also help assure your desired vehicle-type will be available at high demand car rental locations.

A New World Map in Textiles and Clothing
Adjusting to Change
In light of the elimination of quantitative import restrictions under the WTO at the end of 2004, A New World Map in Textiles and Clothing identifies the most recent market developments throughout the entire supply chain, from natural fibres to retail distribution. It outlines the policy and regulatory challenges in the fields of trade, labour adjustment, technology and innovation, and suggests a policy framework to help deal effectively with such changes as well as to capitalise on the trade opportunities that are being created through improved market access.
"A highly useful contribution to the debate on policy challenges in textiles and clothing, the book stands out from the others in recognising the influence that trade policy measures continue to exert on investment and production decisions, and in providing a synthesis of key market developments and policy issues."
Munir Ahmad, Executive Director, International Textiles and Clothing Bureau
"Policy makers in all textile and clothing trading countries would be wise to heed the sound advice proffered in this comprehensive and thorough, fact-based assessment."
Laura Baughman, President, Trade Partnership Worldwide, LLC.
"A must read for anybody interested in the future of textiles and clothing around the world. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the expected adjustment process in usefully underscoring the role of technology and innovation and the growing importance of the business facilitation agenda."

You know why?
'Cause you don't got the guts to be where you wanna be
Fabolous, he doesn't have that problem
He always tells the truth
That's what it's all about?
That's what we work so hard for fabolous?
So they can point their fuckin' fingers
And call me the fuckin' bad guy?
I guess I'm the bad guy
The fingers is pointin'
Nigga, I don't go in no clubs without bringin' my joint in
They be asking fellas why
It's cause the streets is watchin'
With an envious ear, jealous eye
You know how William H Bonnie's rockin'
I keep the home selling two way contact like Johnny Cochran
Be the same dudes, testing your patience
In them hospitals, resting like patients, confessing to agents
You smell me, you gotta spray the Wesson like fragrance
And you pay your way out arrests and arraignments
These playas been playin' foul
And I done learned my lesson with flagrants
Nigga, this how I live it ain't just entertainment
I'm what they been trying to do, not do
I'm the kid, they been lyin' to you
You need people like me
I'm so F A B O L O U S
Yeah, that's the bad guy
You need people like me
So you can point your fuckin' fingers
And say "That's the bad guy"
So, what they make you?
Bitches think all they gotta do is say the child is yours
Quit they job and live off the child support
How could you stand there, smile in court
I'ma just settle, fly back to them Cayman Isle resorts
You better sign a pre-nup
You catch me instead of 'it wasn't me'
I'm gonna say "Where you get a key from?"
I love the way your butt switches
But none of these slut bitches
Is worth me askin' my doctor why my nuts itches
If they see how the Rolls Royce smell
All day I be emptyin' my Inbox and my whole voicemail
I'll be ready to light the weed and pull it
Now every chick wanna make me come faster than a speeding bullet
But I ain't into coachin' birds like Tony La Russa
I done had the thickest chickens to the boniest roosters
Who have trouble gettin' the kid like me to spend
Ma you'll never see a bad guy like me again, for real
So say goodnight to the bad guy, come on
It's the last time you're gonna hear a bad guy flow like this guy now
You better make way, it's a bad guy coming through
Come on
What type of bad guy give fellas death, females hugs
I makin' my business, my kids won't have to retail drugs
I get threats over the two way from email thugs
I ride with ratchets, clips under the C.L rugs
Think I'm liking you? Wrong
'Cause even if I get locked
My money won't let me stay unrighteous for wrong
Case dismissed, the D.A even likin' the song
Right back to the P's, latest pair of Michael's shoes on
When you holla in the club it's cool
But don't change the subject fool
And start askin' if I remember you from public school
You know I done heard dozens, of these birds buzzin'
Talking 'bout I used to fuck with they third cousin
FYI, stay the fuck from 'round me
You good guys who wanna hear
Somebody stuck or clown me
I don't care what other haters do
But if you think I'm loved for savin' you
Say goodnight to the bad guy
Whoever said to us
Now maybe you can buy yourself
One of them first class tickets to the Resurrection

Banana Republic Spring 2012 Photos
Banana Republic Spring 2012
>> Drawing on the success of last season's Mad Men collection, Banana Republic continues to ride the retro-elegant vibe: on offer for Spring 2012 were a healthy dose of prim '60s silhouettes and neat mid-century separates. There were white shell tops with frothy peplums, slim pencil skirts, jumbo floral print wiggle dresses, and skinny cap-sleeved tops — smart little pieces just right for the modern-day Betty Draper. Safari-inspired pieces — khaki shirtdresses, epaulet-adorned blouses, and trim military blazers — provided counterpoints of tailored ease. As for accessories, there were square-heeled colorblock pumps, wedge espadrilles with colored ankle straps, and sweet sequin clutches. Click through to peep all these pieces and more, as snapped at the Spring 2012 press preview.

This recipe was a flop! I could not get it to fully cook and way too much butter. It bubbled over and made a mess. :(
I tried a lot of this kind and they are usually pretty much the same although you change something here and there. I must say this one stands a little apart, because it turns out really true southern cooking as you expect it to be and to taste.
my family loved this pie! I used store bought shells and had enough filling for two pies.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have been quick to bounce back from disappointment this season, sometimes within the same game.
It hasn't been as easy for the Buffalo Sabres, who hope a rare victory will help them begin a climb from the Atlantic Division basement.
Tampa Bay seeks a fourth win in five tries as it hosts Buffalo on Saturday night.
The Lightning (6-3-0) have yet to lose back-to-back contests after putting a 5-0 loss to Boston last Saturday behind them to beat defending champion Chicago 6-5 in overtime Thursday.
They faced some adversity to do so, though. Steven Stamkos' second goal gave Tampa Bay the lead with 2:29 left in the third period, but a seemingly harmless Matt Carle pass from the neutral zone bounced off Radko Gudas' skate and into the net past goaltender Ben Bishop just 40 seconds later.
Captain Martin St. Louis scored 1:16 into OT for the victory.
''We got the win after all, even if something like that happens," said Gudas, who assisted on St. Louis' goal.
Coach Jon Cooper said it was a testament to his team's resiliency. Defenseman Victor Hedman, who was a minus-5 against Boston, finished with a goal and an assist versus the Blackhawks.
"In this league you play 82 games, you have to be able to turn the page and that's what Victor did," Cooper said. "He's very coachable. He's got that youthful exuberance and wants to learn."
Tampa Bay now will turn its attention to its first of 12 back-to-back sets, as it visits Florida on Sunday. Cooper already has looked ahead at the schedule and doesn't find it to be very favorable.
"All of a sudden we took a quick peak at November and we're just petrified looking at those teams," Cooper said. "Then you look at December and it's non-stop. Everybody in the league is exceptional."
Few would put Buffalo in that category, though it is coming off a 3-1 victory at Florida on Friday.
The Sabres (2-9-1) were outshot 45-21, but Rasmus Ristolainen and co-captain Steve Ott scored before Cody Hodgson added an empty-netter as they snapped a three-game skid.
Buffalo's only lead of the season prior to Friday was for 9:35 of a 3-2 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 8.
"Hopefully we can start building on that," said Jhonas Enroth, who made 44 saves. "This is a special feeling, winning the game instead of losing when you play good.''
The Sabres played without John Scott, who was suspended indefinitely pending an in-person hearing after delivering a blow to the head of Boston's Loui Eriksson on Wednesday.
"Watching the video, I kind of regret the whole situation," Scott said.
Patrick Kaleta served the seventh of a 10-game suspension, and his appeal to have it reduced was denied Thursday.
Ryan Miller, who is 1-7-0 with a 3.01 goals-against average, likely will be back in net for this contest. He did not start the first meeting with Tampa.
Cooper hinted both Bishop and Anders Lindback would get starts in the Lightning's back-to-back set, though he didn't specify who would start when. Bishop, 6-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA, made 21 saves in the last matchup with Buffalo.

I started my first period this morning (5 woks 3 days pop after cesarean...heavy bleeding, cramping...everything normal) about 6 this evening I felt a really bad pain and what felt like a clot...went to the bathroom and there was this white thing that I I can't really describe other than it looked like one of those pictures you see illustrating what your baby looks like early on...like a little blobby thing with a stem on it. The whole thing was about 2 inches big (stem, blob, and all). I wiped the blood off to get a better look (gross I know =/) and realized there was a part of this thing that looked and felt like cartilage . I put it in a zip lock to take to my dr (and washed my hands and used sanitizer!!) Ever since then I've been really crappy, filling a pad within 30 minutes or less...and now I'm passing blood clots that range from golf ball to baseball size. Very early on, an er dr believed she heard a double heart beat. At my first actual dr visit, 11 weeks and just one heartbeat was present. I was a twin, my mom miscarried my brother. Is it possible that there really was a second child and I'm just now passing it?? My period was NOTHING like this after my vaginal birth 4 years ago.
wth just happened??? *tmi...possible trigger*

Kansas Duplex Fire Claims Young Girl's Life
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. --
Overland Park firefighters said a 6-year-old girl died after being pulled from the second floor of a burning duplex late Saturday night.
Crews said they were called to the 10200 block of West 86th Terrace just before 11 p.m. and found smoke coming from a two-story duplex there. Firefighters said they went inside and searched the home, finding a young girl in a second-floor bedroom.
The girl was taken to a hospital with critical injuries and was later pronounced dead. Investigators have not released her name or age.
