Supermen sleep in transit every time—
no guarantees of when we'll sleep again, or if,
so we tuck chin to flak jacket and light out
for anywhere else. We wake bitter and panicked,
plane dropping too sharply for Stinger missiles, look up,
read the taut, terrible smiles.
by Nathan Go
If you're compiling your list of books to read this summer, below are a few titles by Filipino or Filipino American writers that I heartily recommend. Many of these touch upon the historic relations to Spain and the U.S., and the rather strange amalgam of colonial influences that resulted – as the saying goes, the Philippines spent "three hundred years in the convent and fifty years in Hollywood."
* Jen Fawkes *
Although he bore plenty of battle scars, Captain Hook was a good-looking guy, and he treated Mom like a queen. I can see now why she was so into him, but at fourteen, I was mortified by my stepdad, and it wasn't just the crocodile. He was forced to wear the standard issue postal uniform during the week, but on his days off he dressed in knee-length breeches, stockings, a red frock coat, and a wide-brimmed hat with a plume. His hair was even longer than mine, and it curled into black ringlets. My mom never seemed to notice the things that set her husband apart from other people—she saw only the man who'd rescued her from a lonely, loveless existence.

Complete Cleansing FiberWith 10 strains of probiotics8.5 oz.
NOTICE: This food should be taken with at least a full glass of liquid. Taking this product without enough liquid may cause choking. Do not take this product if you have difficulty in swallowing.
Complete Cleansing Fiber has been new and improved to include a healthy balance of flax, chia, and hemp seeds. It also contains a blend of whole and powdered psyllium seed husk, the amazing natural fiber with significantly higher soluble fiber than even oat bran. We also add natural soluble apple fruit fiber to round out the fiber complex.†
The formula also contains 230 million colony forming units (CFU) per serving of 10 complementing strains of friendly bacteria (flora), including L. acidophilus. This complex of milk-free intestinal flora is ideal to provide maximum benefit under a variety of conditions. It supports digestion, intestinal tone, and especially helps to maintain healthy flora balance.†
What is especially unique about this combination of fiber and flora is that the insoluble fiber acts as a carrier to assure the safe arrival of the precious flora past the harsh digestive tract to the lower bowel where it can flourish.†
In addition, as soluble fiber reaches the large intestine, the prebiotic fibers begin to ferment and yield short chain fatty acids, which support the function of many regulatory systems in the body.† Prebiotics benefit the body by boosting production of the beneficial cultures that naturally reside in the digestive tract and help aid digestion.† These beneficial cultures help support the natural healthy bacterial balance of the intestines, increase good gut flora, and reduce occasional indigestion.†

Effect of Land Use and Transportation Infrastructure on Residential Burglary
Montoya, Lorena (2011) Effect of Land Use and Transportation Infrastructure on Residential Burglary. In: 11th Crime Mapping Research Conference: Crime, Social Ills, & Place-Based Solutions, 19-21 October 2011, Miami, FL, USA (pp. p. 20).
Abstract: | This research studies the relationship between land uses and infrastructure on residential burglary. The objective was to assess which theory is better at explaining residential burglary: -the "awareness space," which states that crime takes place at edges or along paths on the way to work, school, or recreation, or -the "activity support" concept of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED), which states that mixed uses and increased traffic in neighborhoods is positive because it decreases the risk of burglary. Design recommendations based on the findings of this research are discussed. |

Repetto is offering a custom service which allows you to specify the colors of your new ballet shoes—not just the slipper itself, but also the straps, borders, and laces from 250 or so choices.
It was in the late fifties that the ballerina shoes converted in a fashion must-have. Rose Repetto hand made her first ballerina shoes in 1947, for her son, coreographer Roland Petit. Ten years later Brigitte Bardot wears them in the film "And God created women" in 1956. Soon, everyone wanted their own pair of Repettos, and the shoe became a staple fashion accessory, turning the brand into a national industry.
Now, we can have them costumized. The costum service L'Atelier Repetto is available in Paris, in the La Paix street, number 22, from the starting price of 280 Euros. The ballet shoes will take around three weeks to be ready and, in the future, most of the models "couso retourné" will also be personalized, in men's, women's and children's lines.

Dude Food: Fireside Pies
Categories: Dude Food
Tom Jenkins |
Fireside Pies
2820 N. Henderson Ave.
Dude Factor: 6, or Warrant's "Cherry Pie," on a scale of 1 (Don McLean's "American Pie") to 10 (Led Zeppelin's "Custard Pie")
Some people--including the person who wrote the Dallas Observer's blurb about the joint in 2004--claim that Fireside Pies has the best pizza in Dallas. Those people are clearly not dudes.
Granted, Fireside Pies has some pretty good pizza. It might even make a case for "Best Pizza With All Kinds Of Weird Shit On It, Like Goat Cheese And Pinon Nuts, Whatever The Hell A Pinon Nut Is." (Take that, California Pizza Kitchen.) But however good the pizza might taste, a few problems make me hesitant to award it best of anything.
Guys don't deconstruct their pizza.
Unlike the fondue, our main order of pizza did not disappoint: Parma Prosciutto (with goat cheese, roasted red peppers and black olives) and the Fireside Meatballs (with roasted red onions and roasted red peppers).
Both held generous amounts of garlic in the sweet sauce, though I'll have to give the upper hand to the prosciutto pie. The meatballs were very good, but the pizza too labor-intensive. The pie had eight uniformly spaced meatballs on it, doled out one per slice. So, unless you cut up the meatball and distributed the pieces yourself, the bite-by-bite experience was: pizza, pizza, ENORMOUS MEATBALL, pizza, pizza, crust.
The pizzas proved to be precisely that most awkward of sizes--a little too big for one person, not quite big enough to feed two. This dilemma is a bit easier if your date is a female, as you could split one: you'll take four pieces, she'll take two. Or better yet, one. (If she takes more than two slices, resign yourself to breaking things off. One day you'll risk being out-duded by your date.) On the other hand, if you're a gay dude on a date or just a dude eating with other guys in a non-gay way, you're gonna each need your own pizza.
Inside, the bar area has plenty of TVs if you want to watch a game; if not, you can look past the bartender into the open kitchen and watch the cooks hand-stretch the pizza dough. The outside patio had only one mid-sized TV which, oddly, is enclosed in a cheesy wooden box--and the screen isn't visible from every table.
Overall, the place is somewhat dude-friendly, but only to a very specific subset of dudes. If you're in your early- to mid-20s, prefer wine over beer with pizza and wear a starched, collared shirt even after you get off work, you will fit right in. But then can you rightly call yourself a dude? Even if you don't exactly blend in, it's so dark on the patio that your leering at the waitresses--without exception, all smoking hot, size-zero, college-age babes--will go unnoticed.
In fact, it's so dark outside that the pizza stain on your shirt (all but inevitable, as these are some loosely constructed pies [just like your mothers'--hey-o!]) will probably also go unnoticed.

Danielle Mastrion is painting the mural at Wolfnights, a sandwich shop that occupies the New York City building shown on the cover of the band's second album.
At the time of the album's release, the shop was known as Lee's Sportswear.
Mastrion will begin work on the project at 11 a.m. Saturday, Rolling Stone reported.
The project was spearheaded by LeRoy McCarthy, a fan of the band who had tried to have the intersection outside the building renamed Beastie Boys Square.

Vidic: Ronaldo could return to United
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic believes Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Old Trafford one day.
Ronaldo makes his first return to Old Trafford on Tuesday as his Real Madrid side meet United in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
And Vidic, who played alongside the Portuguese before his record £80million move to the Bernabeu in 2009, is optimistic they might be United team-mates once again even if Sir Alex Ferguson dismissed the prospect as a "false hope" at the weekend.
"It would be a big ask for many reasons. I would love to see Cristiano here. I could see it," he told the Sun.
"He is a United supporter. Even though he left he still follows United and still misses the club and the environment here."
Vidic also rates Ronaldo higher than Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
The Serbian defender, 31, said: "They are both great players but, in recent years, Barcelona have won more trophies and I think that is why people have put Ronaldo to one side.
"The way he plays, he can play in England, he can shoot with his left, his right, he can jump and head the ball. He can dribble, he can do everything.
"I don't say Messi cannot do that but the way Barcelona play suits his style.
"Ronaldo has been changing games for the last four years for Madrid.
"Every time he walks on the pitch he wants to score. He has that hunger in every game."
Vidic is looking forward to facing Real after being ruled out of the first leg.
"I had never played in the Bernabeu and I have to say I was sad because everybody wanted to play in that game," said Vidic.
"But the manager had to manage the games and the players and he chose to go with that team and it went well. I had played against Everton four days before, so I knew then that I wasn't going to play against Real.
"I was available, but after so long out of the game, two games in four games was a lot for me and the manager chose to go with the other guys. But I am fit now, I can play two games in four days and I want to play because, if we beat Real, we have a great chance of winning the European Cup."
The Serb admits that the Real game does have a major bearing on their season.
"It is important to be focused because, in two or three games, you can screw your whole year," Vidic said.
Leander Schaerlaeckens analyzes all the round of 16 second leg matches of the UEFA Champions League.
"This week we have Real Madrid and Chelsea, in the Champions League and FA Cup, so this is what I am saying.
"It looks a great season now, but it is only a great season when it is finished and we have the trophies. I have been here for seven years and people have always spoken about 1999 and the Treble team.
"We of course want to do it, but I don't think we should be pressured by that. It would be great to win it again, but it is a big ask, a difficult ask. We are still in three competitions, but the end of the season will show where we are and how good we are as a club. It is now important to show our class and our mentality.
"We have to be focused and sharp, sharp in the mind, and not think about whether we might get AC Milan or Barcelona in the next round of the Champions League.
"Three trophies? We can do it, but everything has to be the right way."

To preserve, protect, maintain and enhance the city's parklands and recreational facilities and engage people in leisure activities that contribute to their quality of life.
To preserve, protect, maintain and enhance the city's parklands and recreational facilities and engage people in leisure activities that contribute to their quality of life.
On March 19, 2010 the City of St. Petersburg Parks and Recreation Department became one of only ninety agencies in the country currently holding national accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). National accreditation requires park and recreation agencies to respond to 155 standards representing elements of effective and efficient park and recreation operations. City of St. Petersburg Parks and Recreation is proud to say we fully met all 155 standards and according to the CAPRA Board – "passed with flying colors."
Our logo is an ever changing, adaptable and fun character that you will spot in our brochures and marketing materials. It's very imaginative - always looking for fun things to do and share with friends and family.
Parks and Recreation Administration

Taking part in regular recreational activity enhances well-being, reduces stress, uplifts mood and overall physical wellness. Studies show having parks and recreation facilities in convenient proximity to home, school and work have many health benefits including lower systolic blood pressure, lower body mass index, fewer doctor visits, lower stress levels, balanced mood, less depression and increased daily healthy activity. In addition, regular activity enhances quality of life and improves self-esteem, feelings of satisfaction and mental health.
Waterfront parks emerged one hundred years ago with the preservation of our waterfront by our forefathers, William Straub, Peter Demens and Perry Snell. They wanted every resident and visitor to have access to the waterfront. In the 1950's the first recreation center began with a lawn bowling and shuffleboard club at Mirror Lake. St. Petersburg became known for its many beautiful parks and recreation facilities. As St. Petersburg grows, so do the opportunities for activity in all its neighborhoods. The legacy continues today with 17 recreation facilities, 9 swimming pools, over 150 parks, over 70 athletic fields, with programming for all ages and abilities.

My friend did the ring & thread test a couple of weeks ago and it said 'boy' but she had a girl 2 days later. The Chinese gender chart (lunar age) told her girl. This other internet test told her 60% chance of girl. Really, it all makes me : But coming from a genetics perspective (in my former life I worked with DNA), it's not at all difficult to see whether a mom has the male Y chromosome circulating in her blood, as long as you get the right sampling. It's expensive, though, I'm sure!
I have to go for a bunch of extra u/s with this pregnancy, so I'm going to find out this time around! After 2 surprises, I get to know the sex before the baby's born! WooHoo! |
But I'm still intrigued about a non-invasive test to find out the sex.

This product lives up to its name. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to enhance their listening experience with a whole new dimension of low frequency extenstion, No matter what type of music you like to listen to, the epicenter will provide your system with deep rich bass that will submerse the listener in sound. When buiding a system, I count on the epicenter to give me the sound that I am looking for.

Where is Ciudad Modelo located and is it safe to buy here?Any information would be helpful.
Where is Ciudad Modelo located and is it safe to buy here?Any information would be helpful.
I've never visited there, but from what I heard is very safe as they have their own security. They also have their own water treatment plant, electricity, etc. This was to be a planned community from the ground up. The houses I've seen for sale on the internet in this area appear to be relatively nice and well kept. It seems they are geared towards the Dominican upper middle class.
It is located in The Santo Domingo north province around Jacobo Majluta highway.
Here's a link from another forum discussing it I found on the web:

In order to study the behavior of the interfaces between particles and matrix, the internal friction (IF) has been investigated in an Al-11.8Si alloy containing large silicon particles with sizes up to 10 μm. The IF spectrum exhibits a broad, poorly defined maximum situated around 240 K and a high-temperature background on which a peak centered around 485 K seems to be superposed. Moreover, the IF is increased over the whole temperature range of 100 to 550 K as the heating rate is increased or the oscillation frequency is decreased. The analysis of the experimental results is focused on the heating rate dependent contribution, δT, which is shown to be linked with the internal stresses that are induced by the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the silicon particle and the aluminum matrix. A model is outlined to describe δT in terms of emission or initiation of the movement of dislocation loops from the particles, which could be induced by the variation of thermal stresses during the IF spectrum measurement. A linear variation of δT versus the heating rate is derived from the model, and this law appears to be approximately followed by the experimental data. The other contributions are discussed in terms of grain boundary sliding, lattice dislocation movements, and diffusional stress relaxation around silicon particles.

Easy to search out the right part. Process was fast and for ONCE my installation was even easy. Will definitely order from here again.
Part was delivered quickly and looks just as good (if not better) than the OEM part. The only gripe I have with the passenger-side mirror that I received is that the supplied gasket was way too thick to allow the mirror to fit correctly. Thankfully the OEM gasket was reusable and fit just fine on the replacement mirror. Very happy with this experience and I will be using Parts Geek for my future parts needs.
The product installed easily and works just fine thank you
As per my Expectations, Perfect part and on time fast delivery. Thanks Parts Geek.
Price was right and item was shipped quickly. Packaging was excellent and part was received in new condition. Thanks.
Quick, easy to use website. Found what I wanted and part arrived fast. Way to go, Parts Geek!

Changes in CPF Minimum Sum, Medisave Minimum Sum and Medisave Contribution Ceiling From 1 July 2012
30 May 2012
CPF members who turn 55 between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013 will need to set aside a Minimum Sum (MS) of $139,000. The MS for 2011 was $131,000.
The MS has been adjusted over the years to account for inflation, longer life expectancies and Singaporeans' rising expectations of their quality of life post-retirement. Since 2004, the MS has been increased by $4,000 (in 2003 dollars
) each year to reach $120,000 (2003$
) in 2013, as recommended by the Economic Review Committee in 2003. The actual increases in MS are also adjusted for inflation each year.
Based on 2011 inflation and incorporating the annual $4,000 (in 2003 dollars) adjustment, the increase in MS due this year would have been $12,000, which is relatively large compared to previous years. In response to concerns over large increases in MS in any given year, we will spread out the remaining MS increases needed to reach the $120,000 (2003$) target over a longer period of four years. This means we will reach the target in 2015, instead of 2013.
With this change, the 2012 MS will be $139,000, a 6% increase ($8,000) over 2011. Without the change, the 2012 MS would have been $143,000 or a 9% increase over 2011.
Medisave Minimum Sum and Medisave Contribution Ceiling
The Medisave Minimum Sum (MMS) is the amount that a person turning 55 needs to set aside for his hospitalisation expenses in subsidised Class B2 and C wards, subsidised outpatient treatment for selected chronic conditions and basic MediShield and ElderShield premiums in his old age. Regular MMS adjustments are necessary to help Singaporeans plan for their long-term healthcare needs.
1 July 2012
a. The Medisave Minimum Sum (MMS) will be raised to $38,500 from $36,000, a 7% increase. Members will be able to withdraw their Medisave savings in excess of the MMS at or after age 55.
b. The maximum balance a member may have in his Medisave Account, known as the Medisave Contribution Ceiling (MCC), is set at $5,000 above MMS and this would be increased correspondingly to $43,500, from $41,000.
As announced previously, any Medisave contribution in excess of the prevailing MCC will be transferred to the member's Special Account if he is below age 55 or to his Retirement Account if he is above age 55 and has a MS shortfall.
CPF Board organises free talks for members reaching 55
As part of CPF Board's ongoing efforts to help members reaching 55 understand the MS and make informed choices about their CPF savings, the CPF Board will be organising three talks opened for members' registration from June to August. More information on the talks, please refer to
CPF website
The actual increase each year will have to be more than $4000 since the increase must account for inflation between 2003 and the time the increase is made. This is what is meant by a $4000 increase in 2003 dollars.
The $120,000 target in 2003 dollars is effectively $120,000, adjusted for inflation between 2003 and the time the target is met. Doing so preserves the real value of the target.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- At this week's 46th Annual Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition for the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), Cardinal Health launched BarCode360™, a solution that supports hospitals' medication safety initiatives by making it easier, more timely and cost efficient to order medications and ensure more unit-dose medications can be scanned at the patient bedside.
ASHP has set a goal for 75% of U.S. hospitals to fully implement barcode medication administration (BCMA) by 2014[1], because this process can prevent medication errors by alerting nurses if they are attempting to administer the wrong medication, at the wrong dose, to the wrong patient or at the wrong time.
BarCode360 supports hospital BCMA initiatives by making it easier and more time efficient to ensure more medications are barcoded and packaged at the unit dose level, and scanned at the patient bedside.
Key benefits of BarCode360 include:

10.22.04 - By Vaughn M. Featherstone: I can remember when the Heavyweights were a division where you couldn't wait for a fight to happen. There was Ali/Frazier, Foreman/Lyle, Tyson/Holyfield, Lewis/Holyfield. The list could go on and on. Now, we are regulated to watch fights like Chris Byrd vs Jameel McCline. How the heavyweights have fallen. Don't get me wrong, its not Byrd or McCline's fault. Well, lets forget abotu that and talk about the fight. Chris Byrd (37-2-1 20KO) is a fighter that many of the Heavyweights have feared over the past couple of years. He is a technically sound fighter who is quick and very elusive. He can make the fiercest and hardest puncher look amateurish as he did with David Tua back in 2001. His counterpunching skills are exception and his chin is very strong. When he fights Jameel McCline he will be looking into the past. He'll be taking on another fighter who has a very sizable height and reach advantage and has proven that he can "stick and move" as well. Although McCline may not be the feared puncher David Tua was, he can still punch with the best of them. In recent fights, Byrd's skills have seem to have diminished in some ways. In his fights with Fres Oquendo (W12) and Andrew Golota (D12), he has been rather easy to hit and has had to impress the judges decisively in the later rounds. In both fights Byrd seem to be on the losing end as stated throughout the Boxing world. Oquendo, not known as a big puncher, was able to land crisp punches throughout the fight as well as avoid many of Byrd's flurries. Golota was able to land regularly and push Byrd back into a retreat mode. The fighter who totally dominated Evander Holyfield and David Tua has been non-existant as of late. Jameel McCline is making his second rise to startdum in the Heavyweight division. During his first climb, McCline had defeated contenders Micheal Grant (KO1), Shannon Briggs (W10), and Lance Whitaker (W12). Many felt he would be the next Heavyweight Champion because of his verstatility in the ring. But on December 7th, 2002, he went up against then top contender Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko dominated the fight from start to finish. McCline, feeling frustrated and beaten, could be heard in his corner saying that he was trying his hardest although his corner felt he was quitting. Klitschko won the fight with a tenth round TKO. In the fight for the IBF Heavyweight title, both fighters will be attempting to re-establish themselves as true Heavyweights. Byrd will be out to prove to his critics that he IS the heavyweight Champion that he claimed Roy Jones and Lennox Lewis avoided. He will also be proving that he previous title defenses against Oquendo and Golota were just "bad nights" and that he is still the fighter that defeated David Tua, Evander Holyfield and Vitali Klitschko. (NOTE: Although Byrd won the fight against V. Klitschko, he was behind on all scorecards before Klitschko retired at the end of round nine because of what would later be diagnosed as a torn rotator cuff). Jameel McCline will be attempting to become the Heavyweight champion and dispell some of the buzz that he is "just a Heavyweight Pretender." Careers are defined by how a fighter recovers after a major setback and McCline cannot afford to have another disappointing outing as he did with Wlad Klitschko. He is catching Byrd at the right time and needs to take advantage of it. In a weak Heavyweight division (compared to prior years), McCline can make his mark and perhaps seek a title unification with the winner of Golota/Ruiz (November 13th) and Klitschko/Williams (December 11th). The Strategy: Jameel McClineCut Off The Ring:McCline has decent power and is pretty mobile for such a big Heavyweight. He'll need to use every skill has to cut the ring off against Byrd. Byrd will move and jab while clinching should McCline get close. The best way to keep a car from moving is to take away its wheels. McCline needs to "go to the bread basket" often (Body punch). Byrd is excellent defenseman and very anept at avoiding headshots. Use The Angles: McCline is a much bigger (and stronger) fighter than Byrd. That doesn't mean he should just walk through Byrd's punching. The punch that knocks you out is the one you don't see. Although Byrd doesn't knock his opponents out doesn't mean he can't. McCline will need to work his way in and through an assortment of punches. Keep Byrd guessing and make him think. Byrd is a superb counterpuncher. He likes to turn his body to avoid big shots. Thats when McCline needs to use a short hook or uppercut. Be The Bully: Ike Ibeabuchi and Andrew Golota stayed on top of Byrd. They physically took it to Byrd. McCline will need to do the same also. Push Byrd around and lay on him when he attempts to counterpunch. Lay on him and fire shots in close. Byrd's lack of punching power will be his achilles heal inside. He will throw quick punches while trying to impress the judges. Wear Byrd down. The Strategy: Chris Byrdline's size and strength may make it tough for Byrd to really mount any type of serious attack so he'll need to lure McCline to him. McCline will come forward more than likely. So when he does he will need to use his abilities to defeat "Big Time." Ride Your Bicycle: McCline is coming forward although he may do it at various angles. Byrd will need to stay on his toes and pick his shots. If its there take it. Throw the punches in succession and get out. McCline has decent speed but not nearly as much as Byrd. Using the ring as best he can will help as well to keep McCline guessing. When he fough Golota, he hit Golota wih some strong shots but retreated. McCline hasnt fought a fighter like Byrd so he'll (McCline) will have to rely on sparring partners and film (of Golota and the Klitschko brothers). Stay Focussed: We all know Byrd will counterpunch and McCline knows also. Byrd will need to keep his eyes fixated on McCline and not try to look ahead of what may open. McCline may chose to get in close. When he does, Byrd should throw a few uppercuts and hooks in close. They may not hurt McCline from the start but over a period of rounds they may begin to take affect. McCline may have the mindset that, "Byrd cant hurt me". Let him believe that and work the body. After awhile McCline may drop his hands and tire. Kill the body and the head will fall. Finish The Show: Lately, Byrd has been rather unimpressive and fighters like Fres Oquendo and Andrew Golota have been the talk following the fights. Byrd will need to showcase his abilities. His speed is unmatched in the division and can impress the judges (as well as the fans and critics). As I stated about McCline, "if it's there take it!" If McCline retreats, stops punching or just walks around the ring looking for a good shot, Byrd needs to step it up and fire rapid punches. They may be "pity-pat" punches but as long as they score they will impress the judges. No one is expecting Byrd to land a big punch that will end the fight. The Outlook: Byrd has been in this position of fighting a bigger man most of his career so this fight doesn't make anything diffferent. McCline has fought big fighters and small fighters but no one like Byrd. A loss by McCline may spell the end. McCline will force the fight and Byrd will retreat. Don't look for an early knockout in this one because Byrd doesn't ring bells while McCline won't land flush early. McCline WILL land a big shot somewhere and may get Byrd in trouble. Byrd will land his punches often. Both fighters know what is at stake although Byrd has more to lose than McCline. Expect a shocking end to a tactical fight. I will go out on a limb and predict this one. Hate mail is accepted!! Prediction: Byrd by knockout!! Send all comments to Thirdman Boxing

less is more
I do not see how Ciara fits with or can enhance the Givenchy brand. Mariacarla, Marina Abramovic I can understand, and Courtney Love I can just tolerate, but Ciara, yuck. The only reason I can see for Givenchy allying itself with Ciara is to spread the brand beyond the established circle and clientele, and into the urban/hiphop world, thereby acquiring a new base of people who desire it for the name and logo only (like Gucci, LV etc.).
Also, not a fan of Riccardo's checked shirt. He looks so dashing in all black.

Just placed a order for an F30 :D 335i M-Sport Estoril Blue/Black 'ette/ aluminum hex/ estoril blue finishers 6MT, Dynamic Handling, Tech package, Heated seats, PDC, rearview cam. very excited to be getting an extra pedal and RWD. its actually the best news this week-- I'm technically still homeless as both my apt and office are still without power... still will be floating around for quite a while though:) |
Should be a nice ride really.
I can relate to what you are going through living on the coast in Florida. However not having heat is never an issue here and the population density isn't a typical issue either both which make things getting back to normal difficult for a long time to come... |
Congratulations! :bigpimp:
Your extremely knowledgeable posts will be missed. :bawling: |
I have two more years on my lease hope they will nor knock the 6mt by the time I upgrade.
Congrats! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Bimmer App |
Sorry to see you defect, but it is the natural progression. Please look in on us occasionally and lend your wisdom.
BTW: Living here in a hurricane prone metropolis, I understand and sympathize. I'm out in the 'burbs, but had a lot of friends who went through 4-6 weeks of no power with Tropical Storm Allison 2001 (the one that just wouldn't go away) and Hurricane Ike (2008). In our 'connected' age, being without electricity is almost worse than being without running water. Good luck and stay in touch. |
Congratulations on your forthcoming upgrade. You will missed here Big O although I wouldn't be surprised if you made the occasional guest appearance.
Here's to a quick resolution of your forced downtime. :drink: |
Congrats! Enjoy in good health.
Congrats - hope you get your power back soon.
Tom |
Sorry to hear you're still without electricity, but apparently not without a terminal, so you're only on the razor's edge of barbarism. I have to agree with Kat. Without water you're just thirsty, eventually smelly, and perhaps facing your slow demise. Without electricity there's no ice for the Scotch. |

until the cell sites lost power in lower manhattan, i was still online by way of three laptops and alot of extended batteries. sadly the daihatsu was floated into the brooklyn battery tunnel. my manservant donned scuba gear to retrieve it, i have him drying it with a folding fan. the 83 million gallon torrent that washed my daihatsu away, as i watched in horror: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/att...1&d=1352462777 |
Say it aint so....I just returned to the E90 community and have always enjoyed your contributions.
Remain safe out there... |
Will miss the eye! :wave: :beerchug: :wave:
:bawling: |
Too much brain drain in here. To make it worse, Nashua Lodge of Elks blogs are filled with rumors that DSX was seen in Tulley BMW's showroom fawning over new models! |
Congrats on your new car! I love Estoril Blue II and you're pretty close to how I'd configure an F30 335i except that I'm partial to leather. Buying my Z4 M hasn't stopped me from hanging out in the E9x forum from time to time and I even hung out in the F30 forum for awhile earlier this year.
Congrats on the car. Your technical input is always interesting, accurate, and much appreciated! Hopefully it will continue to benefit 'Fest members. Perhaps just a bit less in this forum and more in the other.
Enjoy the car and I hope the recovery is going well in your part of the world. |
Although there were several CA's with little to do, no one approached me. That's what happens when you show up wearing a dirty uniform and lacking a manicure. Little do they know what a weak moment they could have caught me in. Then I get back, make a coffee, fire up old sparky, and there's your post. Too funny. |
Perhaps I am biased toward the E90/3? :dunno: |
The F30 subforum is exclusive to new car owners who can afford a $50,000 German sport sedan. Say your goodbye's now and move along. BJ |
Orient, it is nice to have you here with knowledge, not just opinions, like most of us. Good luck, but no good bye, since you don't go too far. Say hi to BJ over there.

SFO Breaks Ground on New Air Traffic Control Tower
San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee joined U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, Acting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Michael P. Huerta, and Airport Director John L. Martin in officially breaking ground for SFO's new Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) on July 9, 2012. The new control tower will be located between Terminals 1 and 2, east of the existing tower.
The ATCT will be 228 feet tall and will feature a 650 square-foot controller work area. The tower will sit atop a three-story, 44,000 square-foot base building, which will house administrative offices, computer equipment, a backup generator and secure corridors through which passengers can transit between terminals. The current tower, which the FAA commissioned in 1984, is about 180 feet tall and has a 520 square-foot controller work area.
"We're building a world class tower for a world class airport," Secretary LaHood said. "Hundreds of Bay Area construction workers will be employed in well-paying jobs while building this project to the strictest seismic standards." The current air traffic control tower no longer meets current seismic standards and it is not cost effective to retrofit the facility. The seismic design for the new tower allows for the structure to withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake. The top of the tower has also been designed to not sway with wind loads to ensure better comfort for the controllers.
More than 400 construction jobs and 200 support positions are estimated to be created during the construction of the tower and associated facilities. "The new tower will serve this growing airport for decades to come," said Acting FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta. "Air traffic controllers will have a thoroughly modernized facility with better airfield views and the most up to date equipment."
The project goal is to achieve LEED Gold. Part of that initiative will be to provide solar panels, integrate eco-friendly mechanical and technical systems wherever practical, use sustainable building materials, and construct the facility in the most environmentally responsible manner. The construction of the new tower is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014 and fully operational by the FAA in the fall of 2015.

"Pinterest, Twitter, Foursquare, Facebook, Instagram, and a myriad of other social media sites have become powerful tools for sharing and recording our travels," said Nancy Novogrod, Editor In Chief of Travel + Leisure.

From Repack to Rwanda: The Origins, Evolution and Global Reach of the Mountain Bike
From its humble origins as a modified, single-speed bike raced downhill on the trails of Marin County in the early 1970s, to today's sophisticated machine used for recreation, commuting, and international competitions, the mountain bike has achieved global popularity. It is ridden everywhere, including some of the world's most remote locations from the Himalayas to Timbuktu. In Ghana, a Santa Cruz-based designer's frames are assembled from the local and renewable resources of bamboo and hemp. In Rwanda, one of the industry's founders from Palo Alto is helping transform that nation's economy through a series of bicycle-related initiatives. Northern California's contributions to the mountain bike are widespread and deeply felt. Despite the insistence of many early clunker riders that they "weren't out to change the world," the bicycles they created and the industry they pioneered certainly have.
This exhibition was guest curated by Steven Ruzin, Ph.D., Director of the CNR Biological Imaging Facility and Curator of The Golub Collection at the University of California, Berkeley and is on display in the International Terminal Main Hall Departures Lobby until February 2013.

Economic Implications of China's Demographics in the 21st Century

This study assesses the economic implications of China's changing population in the 21st century using a numerical general equilibrium model. The simulations show that lower fertility rates yield lower saving rates. Since lower fertility rates reduce the future supply of labor, capital will become less productive. Consequently, if international capital mobility is high in China, a low fertility rate implies more future capital outflows. But if capital is less mobile, low fertility today lowers the domestic return to capital and raises the domestic return to labor. In addition, the paper finds no significant link between demographic structures and per capita income growth.

Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look.

It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.

The concrete crowns of masonry chimneys often crack with age, allowing water to leak in. This article explains how the crown works, what it should look like and what to do about leaking problems.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:December / January 2006
A newer chimney crown should be several inches thick, reinforced with rebar and caulked to the clay flue. Older crowns may not be this solid, but if they're basically sound they can be repaired with polyurethane caulk.
The crown of a masonry chimney is a concrete top that ideally looks something like the one shown. It has an angled top to shed water and it overhangs the brick to keep drips off the chimney sides. It surrounds the clay flues but doesn't encase them. A 1/4-in. gap allows the clay flues to expand and contract from repeated heating and cooling without cracking (or cracking the crown). (The flues "float" inside the brick chimney walls; that is, they're supported by the brick but not attached to it.) A high-quality polyurethane caulk seals the flue/crown gap and prevents water penetration.
In truth, few chimneys built before the mid-1980s have crowns built this well. Many early crowns were simply sloped washes of leftover mortar. Most have cracked and deteriorated, opening gaps around the flues. If you feel safe and confident about walking on your roof, climb up and inspect the crown. If it's sound, caulk cracks and gaps with polyurethane. Otherwise, hire a chimney builder (search online or for "Chimney Builders and Repair" in your yellow pages) or a chimney sweep ("Chimney Cleaning") certified by the Chimney Safety Institute to evaluate the condition of your chimney and fix it. Flue caps will help reduce water coming down the flue itself, but they won't help much if you have a bad crown.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

And now Lauderdale has made a record with his hero. "It's hard for me to believe it happened," he says. "He's a very gracious, kind, funny guy." One could say much the same of Lauderdale. His current plans call for him and fellow alt-country hero Buddy Miller to cut a record together in the spring.
"So I've been writing for that, and my next record. And then I'm going to be touring on the West Coast with Ralph in February, so I'm trying to come up with a bunch of stuff, so if I get enough stuff when we're out there, maybe I can pop into a studio somewhere. Because I want to keep my bluegrass output up. I've been trying to make a bluegrass record since I was a teenager, and now that I've finally gotten the chance to do one, I want to keep up a regular output."
And even though Lauderdale never exactly comes out and says it, his generosity, modesty, and kind words for others belie a wise knowledge of how his bread is kharmically buttered. He's had country chart hits without losing his credibility. He's gotten to make the records he wants to make. He's heard George Jones sing one of his songs, become a pal of Buck Owens, and made a record with Ralph Stanley. So does it amaze him that his heroes are now like his peers?
"Well, I don't consider them my peers, but it is unbelievable. It is just really fun to do a few gigs with Ralph. I finally got to do the Opry the first time the week before last, with Ralph," he notes, accenting the fact that he hadn't yet played the Opry on his own, "and that was really meaningful. It's just hard to believe it's real."

If you are GF or not, and looking for a great place to eat lunch, you MUST try Royal Street Cafe. We have been vacationing in Park City for years, and always make it a point to visit this restaurant. Lovely and beautiful scenery greats you as you dine near the chairlifts and mountain. A covered patio really makes the experience even more special. I ordered off the GF menu, and so did my husband (he is not GF, but we wanted to share our meals). We shared the Chinese Chicken Salad, as well as the Turkey Bacon sandwich on toasted Udi's bread. Delicious and well worth the higher prices.
The maple bacon bison burger on gluten free bun with parmesan fries was great. Perhaps a little pricey but it is mountainside Deer Valley.

Next time, no flour? I used broken up sausage in mine, no cheese. Very tasty, plus the sausage grease helped lubricate the pan even more (used coconut oil).
A couple weeks ago I cooked some bacon, put that in muffin pans, cracked a couple of eggs in each one, added spices, and baked, and the egg muffin bacon things were awesome.
So today it's snowing and I'm working from home (smarty!), and I'm out of bacon. So I made some egg muffins with just eggs and a little cheese and some spices, but mixed in some coconut flour to...I dunno, why, exactly. I just did. And the muffins are gross. I'll eat anything, so I ate them, but they are NOT TASTY.
Just a heads-up if you're in my situation ever.

Yeah, it's definitely the flour. I've also made them with just eggs and some coconut oil. Protip: don't add coconut flour. I just thought it would help out for some reason. Nope.
I think I usually bake my egg muffin things at 350 for...I dunno. 45 minutes? I'm a bachelor and just eyeball EVERYTHING, food-wise. I have some kind of phobia about following directions I think. Just keep an eye on them; you can poke them with a fork and tell when they're done. And they're not runny at all. You can wrap one up and take it with you for a meal on the go, or freeze them and then nuke them in the morning. Sturdy. I highly recommend just cooking some bacon or sausage or whatever you want, then putting that in a muffin pan with eggs and whatever seasonings you like, then bake. Super simple and delicious.
