Rated 2.4 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by FS Great product!! This is a great product. My son plays basketball and injured his knee. This was a great product to utilize for icing his injury. He now uses it to warm up before and after the games. Great buy for any competitive athelete that wants to take care of their body pre and post workouts/games as well as for those who are in need of rehab. May 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tmbrghst Knee Wrap Having some Osteoarthritis in my left knee and needing to ice my knee often, this has made the process much easier and less messy. I understand it can be used to heat as well, but I've only used it to ice. April 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by LadyVolsFan Fine, but not great Bought this to ice my elbow due to tendonitis. Hot/Cold gel pack that is included is supposed to stay flexible when frozen--it does not. Freezes into a solid block, which makes it very difficult to fit in the sleeve and wear. I have another truly flexible gel pack that works fine in this sleeve so I use that. It would have been nice if the one that was included worked as advertized. The sleeve itself works as intended. February 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by active family not as claimed It claims the ice is flexible to wrap around knee, it was not....it was hard like normal ice October 17, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Turtle Should have read the reviews first Gel ice pack freezes like a brick which renders the flexible support completely useless. Perhaps the company should have tested their product in a real freezer before making a claim like "always stays flexible". June 29, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Greg This STINKS! Freezes solid as a rock Right on the box it says it will freeze but remain flexible, wrong. I have other gel ice packs that do remain flexible. I bought one and took it home and it froze so hard it would not even fit in the wrap. Took the first one back got another one same problem. The wrap seems great but the gel ice pack is terrible and does not do what is advertised on the box. May 21, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by Rocky Needs a different gel pack When you freeze the gel pack that come with this product, its gets very hard. It is hard to get it to wrap around the knee or elbow when frozen. The gel pack needs to be a soft form so it will bend around the knee or elbow when it is frozen. May 7, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by baseball mom does not work as stated We bought this and the shoulder version for my son to use after pitching. It seemed like it would be good to keep the ice where it was needed. But the problem was with the ice pack - it got like a block of ice and was NOT flexible at all as the package states. It won't fit into the sleeves at all. A frozen bag of peas would work better. April 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by golfnut less than expected! The multi-puspose support is well designed and is fairly easy to use. The gel pack, however, is another story. It does not stay flexible when cooled in the freezer as per the instructions. This will require using icie bags or some other source of cold compress. February 19, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Tennis chick Not flexible when using as cold pack I bought this to use as a cold pack to wrap around my knee------it just didn't work that way. The directions to use said to freeze for at least an hour which I did and found that it was not even cold feeling when inserted in wrap. The directions then stated that after use to freeze for future use which I did overnite. The next day it was a frozen stiff solid pack that was not flexible even though it states right on the gel pack "always flexible". I would not recommend buying this product and will be returning it to the store. December 27, 2011

But the really NICE thing about it is that we looked up a slightly different model when we decided for it and against the others. So the features were not as expected.
It's got, unlike the car we test-drove and which we looked up in the brochure, a rev counter (which for some reason my girlfriend would have missed) and especially ESP (electronic stability programme) and a remote for unlocking the doors.
Ah, yes, and there was gas in the tank.

#FutureChildrenProject–Best Political Ad…EVAH? (Part 2)
Posted by KingShamus on October 29, 2012
The 'Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm–Barack Hussein Obama Children's Choir' were unavailable for this gig.
Shorter Future Children Project: Report your Romney-supporting parents to the Ministry of Love today!
Notice the concerns the makers of this propaganda place into the mouths of children. Endangered polar bears? Not even Premier Obama thinks that. Rampant strip mines dotting the American landscape? That's news to the miners. Conservatives think our failing schools are good enough? That must be why Milton Friedman was a proponent of school choice reform since the Eisenhower Administration. Endless wars? Here's another ten years of Obama drone strikes, you worthless hypocritical peace-creeps.
What's really amazing is wayback machine quality of the ad. The Left always accuses conservatives of wanting to travel back in time, but who is actually living in the past? The writers of the douchey bit act as if Barack Obama is still Captain Jesus-Man Lightbringer promising lower ocean levels and lower middle class tax rates. The last four years–$5 trillion dollars of debt, sky high unemployment, economic illiteracy–never happened for these progressives.
Or maybe this ad is just meant to stir the turd. The only people that might even sorta respond are die hard Obama fanbois and right-wingers making fun of them. So it's not really a campaign spot that's meant to get people to the polls. It's more like the flip-side of Jon Stewart's clap humor.
Okee-dokee. It's your dime, Future Children Project. Enjoy your pointless uninspiring performance art.
I spotted this over at the terrific Coalition of The Swilling. Thanks, Mr. Bingley.

In 1954, Chevrolet Chief Engineer Ed Cole introduced America to the Chevy small-block V-8, which was offered as optional equipment in the division's 1955 passenger-car lineup. Since then, the small-block has become one of the most iconic and prolific of the company's inventions, and the men lucky enough to have overseen its various incarnations have also found themselves in the pivotal role of preserving the Corvette's horsepower heritage.
Enter Jordan Lee, the latest man to hold ultimate power over what is informally known as the "SBC." He will usher in the fifth generation of this performance legend before the end of the 2012 calendar year.
Lee's official title—Global Chief Engineer and Program Manager - Small Block Engines—puts him in charge of all GM small-blocks for passenger vehicles and trucks. But as you'll see in our interview, he brings with him a true passion for Corvettes that dates back to his drag-racing days in high school.
Come with us now as we learn more about his past experiences, his current role, and how he plans to preserve the small-block Chevy's performance edge well into the future.
VETTE magazine: Jordan, you graduated high school in 1979. That put your first car-driving experiences at the very end of the first muscle-car era, when souped-up small- and big-block Chevys were still the hot ticket to drive to school, and then to cruise nights on Friday and Saturday. How did these formative years shape the Jordan Lee who's now the chief engineer of small-block engines?
Jordan Lee: I've always been a gearhead, and even as a kid I loved cars and engines. I was born and raised in Belle Glade, Florida, which was a tiny sugar-cane town; in my early teens my family moved to the West Palm Beach area. Being from Florida, I knew nothing about the automobile industry, but could think of nothing better than to one day work in the industry.
When I was 15 years old, my dad bought a Dark Green '76 Corvette with an L48 350 small-block, a Turbo 350 automatic transmission, and Buckskin leather interior. I remember it really well. I loved that car. I drove it all the time from the moment I got my driver's license…well, truth be told I drove it a lot even before I got my license.
At my high school, my buddies had Mustangs, but I had my dad's Corvette. We'd trash-talk each other and ultimately end up racing. I'd sneak the Corvette out by telling my dad I was going to take it out of the garage and wash it, and then I'd meet my buddies and we'd drag race.
I really fell in love with Corvettes when I was a teenager, and never lost the passion for them. It's something I remember every day in my current job at General Motors. It keeps me grounded and reminds me what an incredible job I have. There are a lot of day-to-day pressures, but in the end there's nothing better than working on Corvettes and engines. It has been and always will be a thrill for me.
VM: What type of mods did you do to your parents' Vette?
JL: My dad didn't allow me to make too many modifications to it. With that said, I remember installing a low restriction cold-air induction system, disabling the EGR system, getting rid of the catalytic converter for lower exhaust backpressure, and installing a nice-looking pair of cast-aluminum rocker covers. I was always messing with the carburetor, also.
VM: When did you realize your love for small-block engines could be more than just a hobby for you?
JL: I was always a true engine geek. As a kid, I was taking apart lawnmower engines and rebuilding them. Things didn't always go well, like when I used paper bags to make gaskets, and used Wesson vegetable oil because I didn't have any engine oil. The engine didn't run very long! Engines were always magical for me; they seemed as if they were alive when running, and they had personalities.
The small-block L48 in my dad's Corvette really ignited my passion for engines. It was amazing to me how engine performance responded to little changes like reducing inlet restriction. I loved that L48. I was always cleaning it, changing the oil, and polishing the valve covers. It wasn't long before my dream was to become an engineer and work for General Motors, and hopefully have a chance to work on small-block engines for Corvettes one day.
VM: How did you get your foot in the door at GM?
JL: After high school, I earned an Associate of Arts degree before I went to engineering school. When I learned about GM Institute [GMI] from a high-school science teacher, I knew it was the college I wanted to go to. It wasn't easy to get in, because GM was going through an economic crisis at the time [the early '80s], but I was very persistent. I convinced GM to allow me to fly up from Florida, at my expense, [to] interview for a co-op spot. You couldn't attend GMI unless you had a co-op sponsor. I was lucky and got the co-op sponsorship, and was allowed to enroll in GMI. My co-op assignment was with GM Advanced Engineering at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan.
VM: What was the path from GMI co-op student to chief engineer of the Chevy small-block, and how did the Corvette play a role?
JL: From my first day at GM, I've always worked in engine engineering, and always wanted to work on the small-block team.
Working up through the ranks, the Corvette entered my life again when I became the Design System Engineer for the small-block team. I was responsible for the LS2's engine-management-system hardware. I worked closely with the engineers responsible for the powerplant's fuel system, ignition system, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, throttle body, lubrication systems, as well as other airflow-system hardware.
From there I became an assistant chief engineer working on other engine programs. Eventually I landed back on the small-block program as assistant chief engineer for small-block truck engines.
In 2010, I was very fortunate that my boss, Dean Guard, the chief engineer of small-block engines, got promoted. That left an opening for one of the most coveted jobs in GM's Engine Engineering department. I really wanted the job, and interviewed for it, and so did others who also wanted it. I won't kid you: There are many engineers who would be great in this job and are highly qualified to have it. I will always consider myself very fortunate and lucky to have landed it. It will always be a career pinnacle for me. It's an honor to lead such a talented group of engineers as we continue to hone the legacy of the legendary small-block engine family, which has always been an instrumental part of Corvette.

Mainstream IT, LoB execs and application development professionals each provide different yet critical perspectives to Systems of Intelligence. IT exes must be in a position to deliver the right infrastructure (e.g. cloud, on-prem, etc.) with the proper performance and SLA profile to support LoB requirements. Line-of-Business execs must have enough knowledge to specify the real-time needs of applications while application development pros must ensure the right skills are in place to deliver and maintain services to Systems of Intelligence over a full life cycle.

Hyperconvergence is the current state – next generation of converged – better, faster, more distributed than original converged, but still just the beginning. Wikibon's Server SAN research agenda is to show where we are today and give guidance for the future of this space.
Wikibon recommends that CIOs put in place a four-point plan for implementing an all-flash datacenter strategy: 1/ Migrate to an All-flash Datacenter by 2016 2/ Proof of concept for Developer Data Sharing - Expect 2 x Productivity & 3 x Code Quality 3/ Reorganize Data Center Operations around Principle of Application Data Sharing 4/ Use IT Budget Savings to Fund Systems of Intelligence This research provides a technology understanding, the business case, and the strategic first steps on the road to an all-flash datacenter.
IT will sound like yesterday's news if it continues to advocate tiering, advocate putting the most important data on high performance storage, and declaring that less expensive lower performing storage is key and necessary. Today's flash reality is that a single compressed/de-duplicated physical version of data must be shared between as many different applications as possible, because the incremental cost of creating and sharing another copy is close to zero.
Systems of Intelligence will power the next generation of enterprise applications built on big data. Line of business executives charged with digital transformation must understand the dynamics of Systems of Intelligence well-enough to be effective sponsors of new systems. IT executives must be effective partners and understand how to build Systems of Intelligence on top of Systems of Record. They will also need to understand how to build a radically new infrastructure to support these systems.
OpenStack is now positioned as an Integration Engine - not the entire stack, but like Linux, could grow into a critical component of IT over the next decade. This article examines the real state of OpenStack after the Kilo release and 2015 OpenStack Summit in Vancouver.
Wikibon believes CIOs should put the highest priority in developing an all-flash datacenter strategy, and implement it so that all storage acquired and deployed is 100% all-flash by 2016. The key short-term focus for CIOs is to ensure that data sharing is optimized, and that IT organization and objectives support and drive increases in data sharing. The key long-term focus is to release the potential of the best and brightest in the organization to imagine an organization supported by applications without data limits.
The emerging PaaS platforms (Cloud Foundry, Heroku, OpenShift, Docker) are all evolving to capture the mindshare of developers. While the PaaS battles are still in early days, Cloud Foundry is emerging as a leading open source platform and ecosystem to build and deploy the new Cloud Native applications that are driving these economic changes via software. But this Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model requires changes to technology, skills (people) and internal IT processes. This means enterprises need to become familiar with this development and operational model to best understand how they can accelerate using Cloud Native applications to give themselves a business differentiation.
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a full application lifecycle cloud service including initial development, testing, deployment, operations and maintenance. Wikibon defines three different PaaS cloud services, 1/ PaaS integrated with IaaS, an integrated platform (e.g., IBM Bluemix, EMC Pivotal Cloud Foundry), 2/ PaaS on top of IaaS, combining development services onto a specific platform (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure) and 3/ PaaS on top of SaaS, a development front-end to a SaaS platform with its underlying infrastructure (e.g., ServiceNow, SalesForce). Wikibon will be using this topology to define its PaaS analysis and forecasts.

Sculptor combs rubble of South Bay generator for a work of art that salutes plant's history
CHULA VISTA The South Bay Power Plant may soon be gone from the Chula Vista bayfront, but it lives on in the memories of those who worked there, drove by it and received power from its transmission lines during its 50-year life.
And after the rubble of the 165-foot structure is cleared, parts of it will be resurrected when Chula Vista sculptor Michael Leaf is finished with them.
The feelings surrounding the demise of the bayfront fixture range from elation to heartbreak. One emotion that almost all onlookers shared at its Feb. 2 implosion, though, was respect.
"I cringe when I hear anybody refer to it as a monstrosity, because it served a purpose and was an important part of this community," said Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox.
Leaf said he wants to preserve that part of its history for future generations.
"I feel the South Bay Power Plant was overlooked," he said. "People called it 'an eyesore, it's blocking my view,' and it's sad in a way. I hope to do the opposite. I want to remind people of how it served the community and was a staple of South Bay."
The 28-year-old, who has clients around the world and whose designs were featured in December at the 2012 San Diego International Auto Show, was informally commissioned by the mayor and Councilwoman Pamela Bensoussan to create a memorial to the power plant.
"I was born and raised in Chula Vista and know the power plant," he said. "I used to think it was a boat when I was a kid. Building a project as a monument to honor that thing is so cool.
"The details have yet to be solidified — we don't know where or when, but we do know it's going down."
Work has begun
Even though nobody is certain yet about size, timeline, dollar figures or placement, work has begun.
What is certain: Leaf plans to make the memorial out of the plant's twisted remains. The port and former operator Dynegy granted Leaf permission to browse the demolition site, and he has taken several trips since it was reduced to a pile of metal on Feb. 2 to select the pieces he wants to use for the project.
Bensoussan, who owns an art appraisal business and is an advocate for the arts in San Diego's South Bay, said she equates this part of the process with Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo's process of selecting slabs of marble for his sculptures.
"He was able to pick a chunk of marble because he was able to visualize, for example, his 'David' statue in a chunk of raw marble," she said. "I kind of envisioned Michael Leaf going into the site of the implosion and being inspired by chunks of metal."
Inspired he was.
So far Leaf has collected more than 7,000 pounds worth of scraps. He has boulders from the power plant's foundation, the original plaque commemorating its commissioning, a segment of turbine and pieces of blown-apart turbine blade stashed away. He also has a light fixture.

Nearly all of Craigslist's allegations of unlawful activities, including trespass and copyright violations, survive a motion to dismiss before a federal judge in San Francisco.
When a cease-and-desist letter didn't stop PadMapper and 3taps from using its online classifieds listings, Craigslist decided to file a lawsuit.
Apartment listings aggregator resumes displaying listings after getting a cease-and-desist letter from the online bulletin board.
In a case between Craigslist and data harvester 3Taps, a federal judge rules that changing an IP address or using a proxy server to access a blocked Web site violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Congressional sausage-making in Washington threatens to rewrite a controversial anti-hacking law used against the late Aaron Swartz -- by replacing it with an even more Draconian version.
The 1983 movie "WarGames" led to an anti-hacking law with felony penalties aimed at deterring intrusions into NORAD. Over time, it became broad and vague enough to ensnare the late Aaron Swartz.
Rumblings suggest the social network is considering a new classified-ad service for jobs, apartments and item sales. Of course, Facebook's last foray in this direction didn't end well.
After Craigslist sues 3Taps -- along with apartment listing app PadMapper -- for copyright infringement, the company fights back with accusations of anti-competitive business practices.
New feature emerges a month after the popular classified ads site sued PadMapper for harvesting its data for a mapping service.
Alleged action follows a lawsuit filed by the online bulletin board to prevent data harvester 3taps and apartment listings aggregator PadMapper from exporting its listings.

Mike Tagert will be representing Mississippi's Northern District on the state's Transportation Commission.
In runoff special election Tuesday, Tagert, 40, of Starkville defeated John M.M. Caldwell Sr. of Nesbit by a vote of 21,111 to 18,737, according to final but unofficial results from all 628 precincts in the 33 counties comprising the Northern District.
Results will be certified beginning today.
Reached by phone after results were announced, Tagert expressed appreciation for the "overwhelming support" shown for his candidacy in the Jan. 11 special election and in Tuesday's runoff with Caldwell.
"We've had an amazing response from our friends and neighbors. It's really been overwhelming," said Tagert Tuesday night. "I would like to sincerely say thank you to our friends and family here in Starkville and Oktibbeha County. We look forward to provide more representation for Oktibbeha County and the entire northern part of the state."
Tagert wins the Northern District Transportation Commission seat left vacant by the death of Bill Minor of Holly Springs on Nov. 1, 2010.
Upon taking office, Tagert will finish the remainder of Minor's term, which expires in 2012. It also makes him the incumbent candidate should he pursue a full term in the 2011 statewide elections to be held later this year.

Hi there.
I have a 60GB and 120GB Corsair Force Series 3 SSD. I have Windows 7 installed onto the 60GB version and now want to install Windows 8. I'm curious as to how I get Windows 7 and 8 onto a SSD.
I was thinking about RAID0'ing the drives but I've read in several places that it's not possible if the capacities aren't the same. Realistically having a 180GB drive would be less hassle than having to store stuff on different drives.
Does anyone have any idea of the best way to go about this?

Company Snapshot
Founded in 2002, B2 organizes premium graduation events for Brazil's universities and serves as a marketing platform for brands and advertisers to access Brazil's burgeoning youth market through interactive marketing opportunities. B2 provides university students with a convenient way to throw well-executed, large-scale, logistically complicated graduation celebrations. B2 eases the administrative burden of organizing such events and has built up a reputation of high quality execution. Services include graduation celebrations as well as youth and promotional marketing. B2 derives revenue equally from brands and advertisers; and event fees paid by students. Students and their invited guests pay per ticket for graduation events, and only brands and advertisers pay for the University Social Network and Promotional Marketing.
When Ricardo Buckup and Carlos Balma graduated from university, they wanted to celebrate the occasion with their families, but Brazil's universities did not sponsor graduation celebrations. Left to their own devices, Ricardo and Carlos then spearheaded a committee to organize a reception for their graduating class. The event was so successful that the idea for building a company was born. Rather than work for established multinationals, Ricardo and Carlos took the less traveled entrepreneurial route. As recent graduates of the business program at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV), Ricardo and Carlos were top recruits in their class with promising job prospects. For his senior thesis, Ricardo had written an events company business plan, and the graduation celebration he organized with Carlos was such a success that he became convinced of the idea's business potential. He rejected an offer from Roland Berger Strategy Consultants while Carlos left his job at Merrill Lynch so that they could start B2 officially.
They have since turned graduation celebrations into a business by founding B2. The company quickly became São Paulo's go-to brand for premium graduation events, and it has since evolved into a premier marketing firm giving brands and advertisers unique access to Brazil's burgeoning youth market. B2 is now positioned as a marketing platform helping brands and advertisers reach the youth demographic with a client base that includes General Motors, Gatorade, Bacardi, Chevrolet, Axe and so many more. In addition to their financial success, they are building a truly great company as B2 was recognized in 2011 by Great Place to Work as the 2nd best marketing firm.

OKALOOSA ISLAND — With team names like Pavement Munchers, The Grateful Tread and The Young and the Rest of Us, runners in the Round the Bay Relay on Saturday morning arrived at Fudpucker's in high spirits even when faced with cold temperatures and a strong wind.
"It's mental insanity," relayer Cassie Blanton said with a laugh when asked why she decided to join the relay.
The local relay stems from Ragnar Relays, which occur all over the country but last from two to three days with teams made up of 12 people. Dennis Samac, one of Round the Bay's coordinators, wanted to bring a smaller version of Ragnar to the area and make it a destination race attended by people from everywhere.
The race will donate a portion of its earnings to the Okaloosa Teacher of the Year Banquet and the All-County Band Concert, Samac said.
Last year, the inaugural relay consisted of about 14 teams. This year, it aimed for between 25 and 50 squads. It ballooned to 66 teams, each with about six members. Relayers came from Pensacola, Panama City and as far away as Mississippi, Alabama, Nashville and North Dakota.
The route took runners around Choctawhatchee Bay in six legs totaling 36.8 miles. The legs were between 3.6 and 8.8 miles, which allowed runners of different abilities race, Samac said.
The legs consisted of Fudpucker's on Okaloosa Island to Fudpucker's in Destin; from Fudpucker's over the Mid-Bay Bridge to Bluewater Fitness in Niceville; from the fitness center to Dockside Café and Oyster Bar in Niceville where jambalaya waited; from there to Northwest Florida Regional Airport; from the airport to Shalimar Elementary School; and then back to Fudpucker's on the island.
No prizes are awarded for finishing. Instead, there was a gift exchange at the after party.
"The idea of this relay is to get a group of friends together and have fun," Samac said.
Dennis Ruiz of the team For Sparta said the after party was his motivation.
"I think everybody runs for the after party." he said.
Alissa Longo said exercise is a lifestyle for her and her team, the Crestview CrossFit Coalition. The members run three days a week and the rest of the week they CrossFit.
"We love exercise, and adding that whole team component is great," Longo said.
The team's strategy was simple.
"Run really fast," Kim Sears said.

Patriotic Gelatin Salad Recipe
4.5 36
Almost as spectacular as the fireworks, this lovely salad makes quite a "bang" at our July Fourth meal. It's exciting to serve, and our guests loved the cool fruity and creamy layers. This salad really added to my patriotic theme.—Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) berry blue gelatin
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin
- 4 cups boiling water, divided
- 2-1/2 cups cold water, divided
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In four separate bowls, dissolve each package of gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1/2 cup cold water to each and stir. Pour one bowl of blue gelatin into a 10-in. fluted tube pan coated with cooking spray; chill until almost set, about 30 minutes.
- Set other three bowls of gelatin aside at room temperature. Soften unflavored gelatin in remaining cold water; let stand 5 minutes.
- Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat just below boiling. Stir in softened gelatin and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and vanilla until smooth. When blue gelatin in pan in almost set, carefully spoon 1-1/2 cups sour cream mixture over it. Chill until almost set, about 30 minutes.
- Carefully spoon one bowl of strawberry gelatin over cream layer. Chill until almost set. Carefully spoon 1-1/2 cups cream mixture over the strawberry layer. Chill until almost set. Repeat, adding layers of blue gelatin, cream mixture and strawberry gelatin, chilling in between each. Chill several hours or overnight. Yield: 16 servings.
Editor's Note: This recipe takes time to prepare since each layer must be set before the next layer is added.

The Corvette marketplace can be volatile when dealing with early modelcars. However, several years of Corvettes have been stagnant in themarketplace. This stability makes the '74-'81 T-top Corvette a good buy,and if you're modest with the purchase and repair costs, you can drive anice car without fear of damaging a pristine, numbers-correct beauty.
The idea behind our Project Shark Attack is to get into a driveable,good-looking Corvette at a reasonable cost. The shark body or "Cokebottle" styling is a look many love to see. On a road trip, peoplealways take a second glance at a shark.
I set out to find a reasonably priced '74-'81 shark with a solidfoundation that required some work. Approximately 337,000 '74-'81 T-topsharks were built and you can find them relatively easily. The '74s and'75s can be an exception because of the higher cost of convertibles andbig-blocks. Plus, those build figures don't reflect convertibles, pacecars, or anniversary cars. Prices vary from a few thousand dollars totwenty grand or more for an extremely nice, restored car.
To the first-time buyer, a low- dollar car may seem like the smart wayto go because, after all, it needs work anyway. But buying a low- dollarcar usually means everything needs attention immediately, which can becostly. Based on our experience, a car in the $2,000 range is good formajor modifications or a donor car, but not this project.
A lot of sharks in the $5,000-$6,000 range have had some repair workdone. These cars are sometimes good bargains because someone may havetired of the project and wants out. A shark in this range may be a goodbuy for an owner who can do his own repairs and cleaning.
Sharks in the $7,000-$10,000 range can be a good starting point for thefirst-time buyer. These cars should be driveable with good exterior andinterior appearance. Remember, a professionally restored shark sells for$20,000 or more, so if you find one for even half that, it will stillrequire some repairs.
Spending a few dollars more up front can save money in repairs later.Knowing this from the many sharks that have passed through the shop, Ilooked for one in the $5,000-$7,000 range. I like the interior of the'74-'77 because of the round speedometer and tachometer, but don't carefor the flat back window. If you live in an area where air conditioningisn't optional, the '78-'81 A/C is preferable because it has moreairflow than the earlier cars. The '74-'77 can be modified to havebetter A/C airflow, but it costs money.
With a good idea of what I wanted, I found a '79 with fresh paint and afour-speed transmission. The owner said it was mostly unmodified, so Igrabbed my Corvette Black Book and went to look at it. On the way, I wasthinking how nice it would be to shift a car again. You don't find many'74-'81 four-speed cars--especially factory equipped. As I turned intohis shop, I remembered the seller telling me it was red. This isn'tnecessarily a bad thing, but it seems every car I have the opportunityto buy is red.
My first impression of the car was fairly good. It had a spoiler on thefront and rear, two different brands of tires, and the center hubcapswere missing from the Rally wheels. The tires were pretty worn,indicating the car was most likely bought for resale. The interior wasmostly complete with incorrect seats. Someone installed a Vega steeringwheel on the non-tilt steering column. Under the hood looked largelyuntouched, as the owner said. Most of the shielding and hardware was inplace, which was good. But there was a rust-colored stain on theradiator and the right side of the engine compartment. So it had anoverheating engine and possible engine damage as a result.

In trying to capture remnants of the past I am dealing with fragile material, attempting to replace an idea with something tangible.I have been extensively collecting old memorabilia, clothes shoes and family photographs, all in various states of disrepair. Exploiting the rich textures and decaying materials and with an element of the half remembered, I can narrate my own stories transforming these discarded objects into meaningful and coherent ideas.

I was fortunate to have studied painting and sculpture at Goldsmiths'. My glass work is influenced by my printmaking and I can engrave into the glass which fulfils my love for drawing. I find the use of lettering a very satisfacory way to express my feelings.
I am finding a language in which I can express how I feel about the world around me.

Caudalie's story starts in France at the heart of a vineyard with a husband and wife. They believe the vine and grapes contain exceptional powers for the skin and they use these ingredients throughout the Caudalie line. The vine produces Resveratrol naturally to defend itself, and this ingredient also provides powerful antioxidant benefits for the skin. The sap of the vine helps to erase dark spots to reveal a more radiant complexion. The Caudalie products are formulated for those who don't want to choose between effectiveness and naturalness, between glamour and ecology.
Caudalie Paris offers products that avoid harsh chemicals, artificial colorants, chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrance and chemical sunscreens wherever possible.

Raw/Cooked: Lan Tuazon
- Dates: November 4, 2011 through January 15, 2012
- Collections: Contemporary Art
... more
Host to more artists than any other place in the country, Brooklyn has become one of the creative capitals of the world. Thousands of artists, from the established to those early in their careers, are making art in Brooklyn every day. While Williamsburg emerged in the late 1980s as the frontier for artists in search of affordable studio space, the years since then have witnessed an efflorescence of artistic activity in many other areas throughout the borough—from Bushwick to Red Hook, from Dumbo to Bedford-Stuyvesant. Hardly any corner of Brooklyn lacks a vibrant creative community.
To celebrate and affirm the primacy of Brooklyn as a center of artistic productivity, the Brooklyn Museum is proud to present Raw/Cooked, a series of five projects by under-the-radar practitioners who work in the borough. The artists were invited to select sites within the Museum in which to present their projects and to consider their work in the context of the Museum's distinctive architecture and historical collections.
The title Raw/Cooked suggests several aspects of the artistic process: the transformation of raw materials that occurs in the act of art-making; the elusive sense of when a work-in-progress is "done" and ready to show; and the recognition of distinctly different aesthetic tastes.
The participants were selected by Eugenie Tsai, the John and Barbara Vogelstein Curator of Contemporary Art, from a roster of candidates proposed by an advisory committee made up of five distinguished Brooklyn artists: Ron Gorchov, Michael Joo, Paul Ramírez Jonas, Amy Sillman, and Mickalene Thomas. Each committee member was asked to suggest artists who have not yet had a major museum exhibition and do not have gallery representation.
The artists participating in the series are Kristof Wickman, Lan Tuazon, Shura Chernozatonskaya, Heather Hart, and Ulrike Müller.

Raw/Cooked: Lan Tuazon
Lan Tuazon's three-part exhibition, On the Wrong Side of History, challenges the reasoning behind museum classification and display. Dispensing with chronology and origin as the primary frames of organization, Tuazon returns to a premodern system in which objects are grouped together by thematic relationships and similarities of function, investigating the possibility of finding new meanings in the Museum's collection.
The first part of the exhibition is an architectural piece constructed from wood platforms and Plexiglas vitrines. These objects originally served to display and protect works of art, but here they come together as a new work.
The second part includes three ink drawings; each depicts a reordered selection of objects from the Museum's collection, exploring an alternative approach to museum organization. A printed floor plan showing the location of some of these pieces is available for visitors.
Part three comprises seven "sculptural combines" created to be displayed alongside artifacts in the third-floor Egyptian galleries. The sculptures interpret each artifact's conceptual content, according to one of seven types of relationships, or "resemblances," and are accompanied by short explanatory texts.
Born in the Philippines in 1976, Tuazon received her B.F.A. from Cooper Union and her M.F.A. from Yale University (2002).

Since cupcakes are Olivia's favorite food, why not bake some for a party? I recently had the opportunity to bake some cupcakes to celebrate my niece's birthday. She is a huge fan of Olivia the Pig. I went looking for good recipes that I might find, especially cupcakes with an Olivia the Pig theme.
I did find one, which I would love to share! Here is a recipe for Olivia the pig cupcakes, courtesy of Nick Jr.'s website:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. Dutch cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 bottle (1 oz.) red food coloring
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups pink candy melts (like Wilton® Candy Melts® available at party supplies stores)
1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting
Red food coloring
1 tube chocolate or brown decorating frosting
Muffin pans (for 24 cupcakes)
24 cupcake liners
Olivia Cupcake Templates
Wax paper
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Step 2
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and the sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until well blended.
Step 3
Combine the buttermilk and the food coloring in a measuring cup. Add the flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Combine the vinegar and the baking soda in a small bowl and immediately stir into the batter until well blended.
Step 4
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 17 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Step 5
Meanwhile, melt the pink candy melts in a medium bowl until smooth, about 45 seconds. Spoon into a resealable bag. Place the ears and nose template on a sheet pan topped with a piece of wax paper. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the melted chocolate. Pipe outlines of the ears and nose and fill in with more chocolate. Repeat to make 24 sets of ears and 24 noses. Reheat the chocolate if it becomes too thick. Place the chocolate pieces into the refrigerator until set, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Tint the vanilla frosting a light pink with the red food coloring. Remove 1/3 cup of the frosting and tint it a darker pink with the red food coloring. Spoon the darker pink frosting into a resealable bag. Spread the light pink frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth.
Step 7
Peel the chocolate pieces from the wax paper and insert the ears into the sides of the cupcakes. Add the nose in the center. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the darker pink frosting and pipe outlines on the ears and the nose and pipe the mouth on top of the cupcakes. Pipe the chocolate frosting for the nostrils and the eyes.
I have to say that every last cupcake was eaten at the party. The kids loved them as did the parents. I had also bought this book for my niece, which she loved! I can't wait until the next party. Keep reading my posts in the future for more options on how to plan a party. For more options on what to choose for a themed party, check out our kids party supplies.

Purrrfect coasters need Coaster Cats
When it comes to our Coaster Cats, we're feline thankful (that's a joke, son). In just about all kinds of weather, they're out in the elements, taking care of our coasters.

The park in the middle of cornfields

Some families grab a map and power-walk their way through the stalks…Read More »
A little Halloween humor
When Leah sent me this photo of her sister, Lauren, I asked if she was okay with me posting it to the Web. Leah's reply: Only if you spin it beautifully. Clearly, our long-legged friends took a red-eye flight to get here. And they're just in time for Happy Halloween Weekends!Read More »
From "corncept" to reality
The puns are popping as we talk about our corn maze. Or is that maize maze? We hired a company that specializes in cutting corn mazes. I guess you can say they're outstanding in their field … Aw, shucks. It's still not clear what this year's design looks like. Happily, we have some friends in…Read More »

Once a month the Sinai resident attends the Johns Hopkins Department of Surgery Grand Rounds. This activity is followed by two to three hours of hands-on experience in the state-of-the-art animal operative lab. Junior residents practice procedures such as central venous access, tube thoracostomy, pericardiocentesis and basic suturing techniques in five to six training modules. Senior residents, under supervision by faculty, perform operations on (almost) human-sized swine and learn about specific exposures and pitfalls in over 12 training modules. "It does feel different to stand on the other side of the table and make all of the decisions."
Together with practice on minimally invasive simulators at Sinai and the ATOM. course, this type of training will provide the resident with greater skills and confidence for the operating room.

Recent Fort Lauderdale reviews
"The house was just about perfect. Once you understand the light switches and the remotes, you are good to go. The pool was warm and clean as was the entire house. The beds and the bed linens were better quality than more than most of the places I have ever stayed. The community was very pet friendly and the neighbors seemed to all have pets. I wish there had been sidewalks, but cannot change that. Close to just about anywhere you wanted to go and felt very, very safe there. Hope to return one day. Felipe was great to work with."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 17, 2015View listing
"Very nice house in a great location. We were able to dock our boat right in the back yard in a quiet area, but were still a quick jaunt to the inlet and fishing. The pool was great after a day of fishing, and the house was nicely furnished. Highly recommended."Guest: Mike A. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 7, 2015View listing
"We retirees enjoyed ourselves here for nearly 2 months without our car. We walked across the street to the Publix supermarket, across the next street to the Galeria Mall, up the street to cross the Intercoastal to the beach across the State Park's restrooms. We twice chose a rental car from the 4 nearby agencies to venture inland for outlet malls. The condo itself was very well-appointed, clean, with comfortable seating and a very well-equiped kitchen with new stove, plus beach chairs, towels and umbrella, everything we could want. We enjoyed the heated pool even on cool days and found lots of traffic-free streets for walking. The owners are very communicative making prepayments and contract easy."Guest: genesurewood Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: March 5, 2015View listing
"Paul is a perfect gentleman, and a great host! He was patiently waiting for us when we arrived late from the airport, and he graciously led us around the home acclimating us to the home and its amenities. We will be back without question! Thank you, Mike, Elizabeth, Anna, Joseph, and Matthew"Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 14, 2015View listing
Fort Lauderdale Travel Tips
If you're looking a vacation full of sun, warm temperatures, beaches, excellent dining and fun nightlife, Fort Lauderdale is the place for you.
While this Florida city may be known for its epic spring breaks, it's a great place to visit any time of year for families, friends or couples on a romantic getaway. Along the water's edge you'll find miles sandy shores, and when you come inland you'll have a variety of shops and dining options to sample throughout your stay. And with it's subtropical climate, it's an idyllic spot to escape the cold and snow or get a change of scenery during the warmer months.
Considered the "Venice of Florida," Fort Lauderdale features a unique and expansive canal system, so be sure to catch a gondola ride. The city offers a plethora of activities and attractions to explore, from arts and culture to live events and outdoor spaces.
Things to Do in Fort Lauderdale
- Bonnet House: In 1920, Chicago-born artist Frederic Clay Barlett created Bonnet House on land given to him and his second wife Helen Louise Birch by her father, Hugh Taylor Birch. For more than 70 years the families lived on the property, developing the 35 acres into what it is today. Now the house serves as a museum dedicated to historic and environmental preservation as well as creative expression. The main house is filled with a unique collection of art and personal artifacts from the families, while the gardends create a lovely tropical oasis and habitat for local wildlife.
- Museum of Discovery and Science: Head to the Museum of Discovery and Science, one of the largest museums of its kind in Florida, for a day of fun and adventure. An IMAX theater provides a 3-D look at science, and ecoscapes allow you to experience a simulated ride to Mars or a MaxFlight airplane. Peruse the extensive collection of Floridian animal species on display and see animal-centered demonstrations. While you're here, take a ride on an Everglades airboat adventure, dig for fossils, walk under a 12-foot-tall imperial mammoth and watch North American river otters play.
- International Swimming Hall of Fame: If you enjoy all things water sport-related, you'll love a trip to the International Swimming Hall of Fame and Museum. Learn more about famous moments in swimming history, the evolution of swimwear and see memorabilia belonging to people who've excelled in aquatics. The museum is dedicated to the memory and recognition of famous swimmers (both solo and synchronized), divers, water polo players and other people involved with aquatics.
- Hugh Taylor Birch State Park: Be sure to enjoy the outdoors while in Fort Lauderdale. An awesome place to do so is at the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. Take an exhilarating hike along the trails or rent a canoe and paddle along a mile-long freshwater lagoon. Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy as you experience the natural scenery, then fish off the sea wall or head out on a bike ride along the paved park road. You can also learn more about the area's natural and cultural history at the Terramar Visitor Center. Every Friday at 10:30 a.m., rangers offer guided park tours and feature themes like mangrove, tropical hardwood hammock, coastal dune lake and beach habitat. Guided segway tours are also available as well as kayak, bike and skate rentals.
Shopping and Dining in Fort Lauderdale
- Las Olas Boulevard: For a premier shopping experience in Fort Lauderdale, head to Las Olas Boulevard. Along the commercial stretch of the street you'll find a wonderful array of stores and boutiques as well as art galleries. This part of the boulevard is considered the riverfront area of downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the name las olas means "the waves" in Spanish. You'll certainly be able to spend plenty of time window shopping here and pick up fun souvenirs, then stop into a local eatery to refuel and enjoy a delicious meal as you discuss your favorite parts of your trip so far.
- Chima: Enjoy a Brazilian dining experience at Chima, named after a traditional drink of Rio Grande do Sul. Gauchos (meat waiters) roam the dining room floors offering churrasco of more than 14 different meats on huge skewers ranging from steak, lamb, chicken, fish and sausage. Brazilian and American flavors are combined here, and the salad bar is excellent.
- Laffing Matterz: Enjoy a meal with a side of side-splitting laughter at Laffing Matterz dinner theater. It's a live, original musical comedy spoofing current events and pop culture. Choose from a variety of delicious menu items like calamari, chicken, beef tenderloin, butternut squash ravioli and salmon, then sit back and enjoy the hilarious show that was named "best dinner theatre" by the Broward/Palm Beach New Times twice.
