I have stuff. I have a lot of stuff. More stuff than a girl and her dog need. Stuff I use, stuff I don't use- trinkets and knick knacks I've picked up over the years and miles.
A drawer full of thoughts on paper. Pictures from beach bonfires. Craft supplies galore. Old ceiling fans and headboards. Studs from 15 years ago. Clothes with tags still on them (that was hard to admit!). Clothes I haven't worn in years. Tie dye. Sparkle Mod Podge. Cast iron cookware still in the box. Things I kept because I put stickers I love on them- not because I use them. Camping gear and more camping gear. Paper- old address books, planners, bills, manuals, and instructions. You know- stuff.
I have now moved twice in the past four months. Yes, twice I have packed up my stuff -with LOTS of help from family and friends- and moved all that stuff. (If you ever need anything moved, call my brother-in-law at Armbruster Moving & Storage) Each time I moved, I quite openly, thought to myself- I have too much stuff. I ought to get rid of some of this stuff. So I did. I packed up bags full of clothes for Goodwill. I got rid of a decent amount of those 'papers' I mentioned. And I left some of the trinkets behind.
George Carlin does a great routine on said 'stuff' we've been chatting about. Check it out below (he does use some foul language- just to warn you!). Another online gem is the 20 minute film- The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard. This documentary breaks down the consumer cycle from resource to waste disposal and everything in between. It is full of hard hitting facts that make me squirm a little.
In the United States, we have 5% of the world's population. We use 30% of the world's, the ENTIRE world, resources. We also produce 30% of the world's waste. And where do you think that waste is going? 99% of the things we buy are trash in 6 months. 99%! That means that whatever you are spending money on today, your hard earned money, is in a landfill or collecting dust in six months.
I squirm a little because I realize that I haven't been as big a part of the solution as I am capable of. I can do more. Over the past few years, I've come to believe a few things about this life. Sharing really is caring. Toe socks have a purpose. Being alone and being lonely are two entirely different things. Life is a ride, not a destination. And along this ride, nowhere does it say I will be happier if I have more stuff. Nowhere!
So for this year, I will not buy a new article of clothing (except the essentials when necessary). This includes shoes. I will not bring a new trinket into my home unless I remove one first. Minus Glue Dots (and I'm open to suggestions there), I will not buy any new craft supplies. There is more I can do but in terms of my stuff- I think this is a good start!
I'll keep you posted and would love to hear what you are doing!

Yesterday Ed Schultz informed his audience (which consists of the camera crew, and maybe his production staff if they're in the mood) that "Republicans, they're afraid of me. They don't want to talk to me."
Ann Coulter's response was as subtle as it was long-winded (which is to say, NOT VERY)
Invite me on your show, you lying pussy. RT @Matthops82 "Republicans are afraid of me. They don't want to talk to me." - @edshow
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) January 15, 2014
My experience with listening to Ed Schultz isn't very extensive, mostly because the times I gave him a chance his rants were so bereft of substance I felt like my time was being wasted. (I know that's true by default for many liberal commentators, but not all). It conjured up memories of this Photoshop from 3 years ago.

Soft Target: A Thriller
Title: Soft Target: A Thriller
Author: Stephen Hunter
KDL Description:
Retired Marine sergeant Ray Cruz confronts a band of terrorists who have taken over the Mall of America, where they begin to systematically execute more than one thousand hostages.
Amazon Description:
Ten thousand people jam the aisles, the corridors, the elevators, and the escalators of America, the Mall — a giant Rubik's Cube of a structure with its own amusement park located in the spacious center atrium. Of those people, nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight have come to shop. The other twelve have come to kill. Ray Cruz, one of the heroes of Hunter's last bestseller, Dead Zero, is in the mall with his fiancée and her family. The retired Marine sniper thought he was done with stalking and killing—but among the trapped thousands, he's the only one with a plan and the guts to confront the self-proclaimed "Brigade Mumbai." Now all he needs is a gun. FBI Sniper Dave McElroy has a gun. But positioned on the roof of the vast building and without explosives or fuses — or the go-ahead from his superiors — he is cut off from his targets and forced into the role of witness to the horror unfolding below. Having learned the lessons of Columbine, the feds believe that immediate action is the only solution. But Douglas Obobo, the charismatic and ambitious commandant of the state police, orders cooperation, tolerance, communication, and empathy for the gunmen. He feels that with his superior negotiating skills, he can make contact with the shooters and gently nudge them into surrender. But what if their goal all along has been unparalleled massacre — and they're only waiting for prime time?

It's not common for a first time guitarist to choose their instrument based on the pickups installed. However, of all the critical components that make up a guitar's sound, the pickups are the most crucial. These days, there is no shortage of carefully constructed pickups suitable for a wide range of musical styles, but you can narrow your options down a lot quicker by going with a pickup that's widely praised and used amongst the world's top players. For that, EMG guitar pickups are a quintessential choice for any axe.
EMG guitar pickups have been a mainstay in the music industry since 1976. Made right here in the U.S.A., EMG is the preferred pickup choice amongst the biggest rock stars in music today. In fact, throughout EMG's impressive catalog of pickups, you'll find many endorsed options designed for various big names, including Zakk Wylde and Metallica's James Hetfield. From humbucker sets to single coils, and even prewire pickguards, EMG has it all.
For a superb acoustic soundhole pickup, the EMG-ACS has already become the pickup of choice for acoustic players. Consisting of a built-in preamp that's specifically tuned for a brilliant transient tone, this pickup works terrifically for both live performance and recording in the studio. For electric players, check out the EMG 81-7X 7-String Active guitar pickup. This high-output pickup is made especially for 7-string lead players, and produces amazing sustain for exceptional soloing.
When it comes to choosing the right pickups for your guitar, there's no winning formula. In the end, it all comes down to individual preference. But if you're not sure what the right pickup is for you, find out what your favorite artists use. Doing so will give you a better idea of what kind of pickup is needed to produce the sound you aspire to achieve... and rest assured, when you're ready to make the switch, EMG has the perfect sounding pickup waiting for you.

RLC™ Members Reel In A Beauty
Mike McClone And Jerry Thienprasiddhi Join Collectors
Recent Celebrity Chat At HWC™
Jun Imai And Wayne Scott Drop In On Collectors
The chat room at HWC™ was burnin' hot last Tuesday morning, 6/24, during another opportunity for Hot Wheels® collectors to get some direct Q&A time with our design team. This time, our guests were Hot Wheels® Graphics Manager Wayne Scott and Hot Wheels® Sr. Designer Jun Imai! (It seems we even had a special cameo appearance by Wayne's mom…)
We understand that not everyone could be there who wanted to be, so here's your chance to catch up on what you missed. Read on for the transcript of all the fun that went down during the chat session.
HWC Chris: Good morning, everyone. Say hey to HWC Jun and HWC Kidd, also known as Wayne Scott.
HWC Kidd: HELLO!
HWC Jun: Hello, everyone.
HWC Kidd: I GUESS I WON'T BE HIDING ANYMORE... HWC KIDD IS ME.
HWC Jun: Wayne, screaming as usual.
HWC Kidd: I'M NOT YELLING - I LIKE CAPS.
HWC Jun: We're not in the studio, dude.
HWC Kidd: I'LL TRY AND BE NORMAL FOR ONCE I GUESS... LOCKS GOIN' OFF...
hotwheel_madman: Mornin' guys!!! How's the weather?
HWC Jun: Weather is nice. Cooling down for a change.
dustinmu88: Wayne, what exactly does a graphics manager do?
HWC Kidd: We have a team of graphic designers and I oversee the group.
HWC Kidd: Everyone is responsible for other HW lines... the scheduling/etc.
HWC Kidd: For the most part, I art direct the group and I still manage to create art as well.
jelooby: Ok, Jun, what are you working on now that we will see this year or next?
HWC Jun: Busy working on the '09 line for you guys. Lots of new stuff coming up.
hotwheel_madman: Is either of you going on the Road Trip?
HWC Kidd: Road trip --- I'll be joining in for part of it!
HWC Jun: Same here. I'll be at certain stops.
Acererak: Wayne, will we see anymore of the Super Hero themed cars?
HWC Kidd: Super hero cars... licenses aren't up to me... I'm sure we will though...
jelooby: Jun, what is your favorite color to work with/design around?
HWC Jun: Personally, I like white and red cars, but it really depends on the design. Some colors show off the lines of a car better than others, in my opinion.
jelooby: No way! White and red are what I like on cars too, Jun.
HWC Jun: Yeah, white and red work well on many cars.
dustinmu88: What's your guys' favorite Hot Wheels?
HWC Kidd: As a kid, I loved the Super Van (black w/flames), the Formula PACK (black w/#8), the Demon/Prowler w/the burglar & the devil... so many others...
HWC Jun: My favorite Hot Wheels is probably one of my first ever as a kid -- the Dixie Challenger, among others.
tarwheels: I would like to know when a convention will come to good ole NC.
HWC Kidd: ME TOO!!! WHO IS THIS? YOU KNOW I'LL BE THERE!
tarwheels: Hey, kidd, this is your mom.
HWC Kidd: Who you callin' kidd?
HWC Kidd: HI, MOM! NICE OF YOU TO JOIN, BUT I NEED QUESTIONS... WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW? LOVE THE NAME BTW (TARWHEELS)!
Acererak: Jun, what new models can we expect to see for '09 based on 1:1 cars?
HWC Jun: We've got a little bit of everything for '09. Not going to dip into too many specifics, but we finally got the one car I've been waiting for. Something for the import fans.
Acererak: What is your favorite HW car that you didn't design, Jun?
HWC Jun: That's a tough one. I'd say the Twin Mill is one of the cars that sparked my interests in Hot Wheels.
hotwheel_madman: What is your Greatest Achievement since joining Mattel?
HWC Kidd: Greatest achievement... that's a tough one...
HWC Kidd: I don't know if it's my greatest achievement, but I'd say the greatest thing has been the traveling and meeting collectors and making new friends.
HWC Jun: My greatest achievement has to be taking part of the design for the 40th anniversary car, the HW40. It was a lot of fun working on that project!
BILLSHOTWHEELS: Is Mattel going to do the Nissan GTR?
HWC Jun: Hmm...
jelooby: Jun, are you doing anything with the Twin Mill 3?
HWC Jun: No -- the TM3 is Josh Henson's creation.
Acererak: Jun, if you could redesign one of the original Redline castings, which would it be?
HWC Jun: I'd like to see a modern version of the Greased Gremlin.
jelooby: Yes, Gremlins are so cool.
HWC Kidd: I love the Gremlins, too!
hotwheel_madman: FINALLY... a Gremlin fan!!!
AGENTAIR: It would be nice to see a new Gremlin and a new Vega in the mainline.
AGENTAIR: Even better if in the adult 100% line.
hotwheel_madman: Wayne, you should push the envelope and make them use the Gremlin casting more.
HWC Kidd: I'll try... and I'll also try to get some more CORVAIRS!
ben1franklin: How many cars have you designed?
HWC Jun: Honestly, I lost count. If you count all the different lines I've worked on (basic cars, collector, trend, entertainment) it's up there. Maybe 70-80.
ben1franklin: Will you guys be at the Reston Nationals?
HWC Kidd: Perhaps... We'll have to see if I get invited!
sweethw: Hey, Jun, what would you recommend to someone who wants to do what you do?
HWC Jun: Draw cars all day long. During class, eating dinner, while you sleep... Specifically, most of the designers here have gone to design schools for car and product design.
sweethw: I have a son that will be a senior, and he is looking to go to an art college in Cali. Any recommendations from either of the designers?
sweethw: He is aiming at industrial design, would that fit the bill?
HWC Jun: Yes, that would. Industrial design with an emphasis on automotive design, but problem solving and product design are equally important.
HWC Kidd: I'm w/Jun -- DRAW, DRAW, DRAW! Tell him to look at every car out there and practice makin' 'em better... Draw 'em like he thinks they should look!
tarwheels: I used to get notes from Kidd's teachers saying, "Great 'kidd,' but tell him to quit doodling so much." We never discouraged him, and he is doing great.
HWC Kidd: I still do this and get in trouble while in meetings at Mattel... I swear I pay attention better when I'm drawing!
Acererak: Have either of you ever taken any elements from the customizers who compete at the conventions for inspiration?
HWC Jun: Hot Wheels customizers are visionaries -- I love seeing what they come up with. I spend a lot of time looking at the customs at the conventions and also on the customs board on HWC.
HWC Kidd: Love the customs, too!!! Jun & I customize Hot Wheels as well… when time allows, of course.
Acererak: Going back to the HW40 car you designed, Jun… What was your inspiration behind it?
HWC Jun: Many things. A combination of Hot Wheels heritage and our visions for the future of Hot Wheels.
ben1franklin: Technically, you guys are always customizin' Hot Wheels.
HWC Kidd: 'Tis true!
jelooby: Would any of you consider designing a Tucker?
HWC Jun: Tuckers are cool. Maybe we'll throw that up on the board for a future concept.
blackcaddy: Do you guys ever take submissions for design consideration?
HWC Jun: If you guys have any ideas or concepts you'd like to share, throw them up on the board. We're always lurking.
crawfish: Wayne, you need to enter one of your customs in the ECHWC at one of their shows.
HWC Kidd: I don't think they would allow us to enter the customs show -- unfair advantage... Even though I'm not even close to many of the customizers' talent.
ben1franklin: Maybe they could do a designer class of customs.
HWC Jun: A customs class? I'd check that out.
AGENTAIR: I always wondered why there are not many hot rod station wagons in the HW universe?
HWC Kidd: Love the station wagons myself... I'll see what I can do!
vingsthing: This isn't a question. I just want to thank you guys for all the hard work and effort you put into these cars. You are the reasons most of us are here collecting today.
redryder31: I think that the open hole 5-spokes are one of the greatest wheels to come out in quite a while. What do you guys think about the different look they can give to your creations? Do you feel it has improved the look of some castings?
HWC Jun: I like the open hole 5-spoke wheels -- it gives a modern feel to our castings.
jelooby: Can you tell us which import car?
HWC Jun: Take a guess.
BILLSHOTWHEELS: What kind of graphics will be on the GTR?
HWC Kidd: This recurring thing about the GTR is rather amusing...
Acererak: What is the hardest graphic you ever worked on, Wayne?
HWC Kidd: Probably the 1:18 Acura that we did a few years ago... So many people were involved... Too many tough ones to please...
ben1franklin: What is your favorite Hot Wheels line?
HWC Jun: Basic cars, of course.
Acererak: Are there any pics you can share with us of current projects or finalized cars?
HWC Jun: Best thing is to keep checking the Sneak Peeks.
redryder31: How do you guys take it when a graphic is misinterpreted? The latest example would be the Impala graphics... some thought it was satanic.
HWC Kidd: It happens here a lot, too... We do things with no intentions of upsetting anyone, and it never fails -- like that one for instance. The graphic on the Impala is indeed an impala...
HWC Kidd: I could do a happy face on a car, and it will most likely be misinterpreted.
sweethw: Will we be seeing more ocean/beach graphics? I am drawn to those like moths to a flame.
HWC Kidd: I think we'll do more w/moths and flames!
Acererak: Will we ever see an actual "Beetle" shell graphic on any of the VWs again? Like the short run VW casting from 1974?
HWC Kidd: Anything is possible...
ben1franklin: Is there any plan of another Zamac series or something like that in the future?
HWC Kidd: I would think so... We all like the Zamac series here, too -- but ya never know...
redryder31: I see customizers doing lots of brand name graphics. Any chance we will see some of those? (UPS, Dairy Queen, etc.)
HWC Kidd: I hope so. It just depends on the brand of course... Some just don't go w/Hot Wheels.
ben1franklin: In your opinion, what is your best design?
HWC Jun: My best design... I think Nerve Hammer is one of my favorites, as far as doing something progressive. The transparent body let me think a little deeper and have fun with the design.
crawfish: Will either of you be at the Nationals in Reston, Virginia?
HWC Jun: Request my presence, I'll be there.
HWC Kidd: Probably.
crawfish: I hope both of you will be.
sweethw: Where do you get ideas for graphics?
HWC Kidd: Everywhere... car shows... record art... other artists... graphics everywhere...
redryder31: Any chance of seeing a 1970-1972 Monte Carlo anytime soon? (Not as a low rider.)
HWC Kidd: Hope so!
ben1franklin: What do you think of the Speed Racer graphics? They seem to be a new style of wrap.
HWC Kidd: I'd like to do my own version of full wraps on some of the basic HW.
BILLSHOTWHEELS: Nissan?
HWC Jun: Hmm...
HWC Jun: I'll give you another clue on the import.
BILLSHOTWHEELS: Is the import car going to be a Yugo?
HWC Kidd: YOU GOT IT, MAN!
HWC Kidd: ONLY KIDDing.
HWC Jun: The clue for the import -- it's VINTAGE.
deanoLV: Datsun?
HWC Jun: Hmm...
saltycruiser: CVCC?
HWC Jun: I really like that car!
Acererak: Did you ever have a desgin for a car that did not get approved, that you felt very strongly about, Jun?
HWC Jun: There are a lot of concepts that don't make the cut. However, there's a time and place for all designs in my opinion. What might not be appropriate at one moment might be right later on.
deanoLV: How many graphics designers work for Hot Wheels?
HWC Kidd: Five, including myself... full-time that is. We have quite a few contractors as well.
ben1franklin: Wow, that is a lot less than I would have guessed.
HWC Kidd: Me, too.
Acererak: Jun, has there been any thought of doing a "true-to-scale" car hauler of some type?
HWC Jun: That would be cool. Actually, keep your eyes open for some new stuff in the truck department -- we've been working on some fun stuff to extend the play of 1:64 basic cars.
Excel_aratorin Speed: What is the process when graphic designs on Hot Wheels cars?
HWC Kidd: We use many -- the most common is tampo.
HWC Kidd: The rest are top secret. If we told you... well... you know...
deanoLV: What programs do you use to design in?
HWC Jun: Many of the original designs are created by freehand sketches. I usually come up with designs during meetings. I clean them up and render them in Photoshop and Illustrator.
HWC Kidd: We use mostly Photoshop & Illustrator.
Excel_aratorin Speed: Do you use a Graphire or Wacom before creating the designs on the cars?
HWC Jun: I actually use a tablet, so I draw on screen.
HWC Kidd: I do a lot of my art w/the mouse... and a lot w/the Cintiq monitor.
HWC Kidd: And a lot w/good ol' fashion sketchbooks!
Excel_aratorin Speed: How long does it take to render the cars on the computer in Photoshop?
HWC Jun: It depends on the level of detail. For example, the red HW40 you see on the site took me about two hours.
Excel_aratorin Speed: Do you ever -- on recolors -- change the designs or colors in Photoshop?
HWC Kidd: Yes - recolors we do in Photoshop & Illustrator.
Excel_aratorin Speed: How many cars do you draw a day?
HWC Jun: It depends on my daily schedule. I keep a sketchbook with me and I'm always doodling on it. I'll fill up a few pages in meetings.
deanoLV: What is the typical workload for design? How many cars a week?
HWC Jun: Depends what department. Graphics and product design have different criteria, but the workloads are always insane.
HWC Kidd: We do hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of graphics per year... each designer...
Excel_aratorin Speed: How does a college grad or so get to become a graphic designer for the car tampo designing?
HWC Kidd: Always lookin' for more talent!
deanoLV: Where do we apply for a job?
HWC Jun: Mattel.com!
Acererak: Is there any specific 1:1 car you'd like to see as a HW?
HWC Jun: Yes. Wayne's.
HWC Kidd: I want to see my 1:64 basic car first!!!
HWC Kidd: THANKS, ER'BODY!
HWC Jun: Thanks y'all.
There will be more guests in the coming weeks and months, so keep an eye out for our updates on who you can expect to chat with, and when. Until then, see ya in the chat room!

Burnley have agreed a deal for Cork City's teenage defender Kevin Long.
The 19-year-old will arrive at Turf Moor permanently in January after signing a three-and-a-half year deal with the Barclays Premier League club shelling out a six-figure fee.
"He is a young, aggressive and quick left-sided centre-back who is hungry to keep improving and will go straight into our first-team squad when he joins us," said Burnley manager Owen Coyle.

Readers share TSA tales; What's yours?
This was very embarrassing to me. There is a very untrained and unprofessional TSA agent who needs to be fired or properly trained to do his job in New Orleans.
Jim Pilling of El Cajon.
Watching mother, 85, undergo a pat-down
My 85-year-old mother who rides an airport wheelchair through security, is patted down 100 percent of the time by TSA. She is an American of Swedish descent with the last name of Olson.
She had decided about a year ago due to the invasion of her body by TSA workers, she would no longer fly.
But in October her sister died, so by emergency we flew to Salt Lake City. I could not believe the pat-down they gave my poor mom in her wheel chair. I witnessed molestation on my mom. I was horrified to see the agent lift each breast rub and it all around, feeling, probing each 85-year-old breast. Then the TSA person probed my mom's hands, feet, went down her bare back, up both legs. Did she check my mom's groin? I couldn't see from where I stood BUT she did feel both breasts in depth - as other passengers walked past and as I watched.
We will never fly again.
I will never fly and risk getting a body scan or being targeted like John Tyner is being targeted. His example has led me to say no more flying.
Robin Hvidston, Upland, Ca.
Military aren't exempt
My name is SSG Vernise Crawford and I recently returned from a deployment to Iraq. I travelled from Tampa to Seattle the weekend of November 5th, refused the full body scan and was subjected to a humiliating grope session.
"I also thought that the female doing the search was very rude and unprofessional. I almost missed my flight because of this and when I informed my groper that my flight would be boarding in ten minutes, she told me that was not her problem.
I applaud Mr. Tyner for refusing the scan because it is very intrusive.
SSG Vernise Crawford
Left me profoundly disturbed
While I can say I wasn't as agitated as Mr. Tyner was, the experience I had has left me profoundly disturbed.
I checked in a little after 930 AM for an 11 AM flight to Denver on Frontier Airlines flight 558. I went through their new full-body scanners and was told something on me had triggered a request for a full pat down by TSA staff. I was led into a room where one of the staff patted me down per the instructions that were given to Mr. Tyner.
However, the TSA staffer said he could not "clear the groin area," and was waiting for management instructions. I have a hernia condition in my left testicle, and I did disclose this to the TSA staffer who gave me the pat-down. After a few minutes, the TSA staffer told me that management had to call in two Harbor Police officers to assist in the situation. After I told the Harbor Police officer about my hernia condition, I gave consent to a police-standard pat-down in the presence of TSA staffers, Harbor Police officers, and TSA management. After the Harbor Police officer (whose last name was Adams) gave the pat-down, TSA management consented to let me board the flight. It was 1045 AM when I got on that Frontier flight.

While they run free in the sun or laze in the shade, each guest gets the chance to socialize with other dogs and expend energy that might otherwise be spent on selling their collars for treat money.

Court date set for ASU bomb threat suspect
Posted: September 26, 2012 at 12:06 p.m.
JONESBORO A 44-year-old Jonesboro man who is accused of creating a bomb scare at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro has a trial date for later this year.
A judge on Tuesday set a tentative trial date of Dec. 10 for Carlan Neugene Walker.
Walker waived formal arraignment during the Tuesday hearing and pleaded not guilty.
The Jonesboro Sun reports Walker is charged with communicating a false alarm to an educational institution, breaking or entering and theft of property, and misdemeanor criminal trespass.
Walker was arrested Sept. 18 after purportedly making a bomb threat that led to the evacuation of University Hall, the International Student Center and the surrounding parking lots.
No bomb was found.
Walker is being held on $200,000 bond in the Craighead County Jail.

Macaroni and cheese, or comfort food as it is sometimes called, was a favorite for most during childhood. Not only was it easy and quick to prepare, but it was tasty and satisfying. Mac n' cheese is making a rebound in restaurants around the country, but this new twist on an old favorite differs in many ways from the comfort food of childhood. Chefs have added more ingredients and developed unique ways to present this classic. See where this cheesy dish is making strides at these restaurants.
Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen
The Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen is independently owned and operated by Sean Francis and Jeremy Popoff. These guys wanted to celebrate the history of Orange County music while serving great food and drinks. However, what would be a complete menu without the inclusion of mac n' cheese? The Slidebar Kitchen serves some pretty ideal mac n' cheese, donning the name 'The' Mac n' Cheese. Your plate will come out steaming hot with a blend of cheddar, fontina, parmesan, jack and Velveeta cheeses engulfing macaroni noodles. If just noodles and cheese won't cut it, add your choice of sausage, chopped chicken breast or hot dogs to the mix for an additional $3.
The Ramos House Cafe
The Ramos House Cafe serves a more mature version of the old mac n' cheese favorite. Whether coming in for dinner or the cafe's Sunday brunch, enjoy a warming plate of mac n' cheese with wild mushrooms and black truffle. Being deemed a "big plate" on the a la carte menu, make sure to come hungry. This rich plate can satisfy one large appetite or equip the hunger of two more moderately-famished diners. At a price tag of $19, you can expect quality from this pasta delight.
Elbows Mac n Cheese
Located in the Cerritos Promenade, Elbows is operated by owners who pride themselves on the quality of ingredients and high standard of service. The menu features American home cooking, adding a twist to an old comfort of mac n' cheese. Diners can choose from the 12 melty mac n' cheese selections or build their own. Start with the size (regular or large), then select macaroni pasta or steak fries, choose your cheese (10 options), add some mix-ins like basil, broccoli or cilantro and top it all off with your meat preference (seven choices). If building your own is too daunting of a task, enjoy Elbows' specialties like fajita mac, pizza mac or cajun mac.
Ecco Pizzeria and Bar
Entering Ecco, one is reminded of a Naples pizzeria or a local tavern; a casual place to enjoy drinks with friends or have a meal. While the emphasis is pizza, Ecco does include variations of the old-time comfort food. Diners can order mac n' cheese from the sides section of the menu if looking for a smaller serving of noodles and fontina, gorgonzola and pancetta cheeses. However, if coming in for a late-night snack (between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays), then fried mac is in store. This dish, offered on the bites section of the parlor menu, includes the three previously-mentioned cheeses and macaroni noodles fried inside a ball of dough. What could be better than some fried pasta and a beer?
Eat Chow
Eat Chow restaurant, located in the back of a clothing store called the Closet, is very basic. It has an extensive breakfast, but if craving some delicious mac n' cheese, look no further than the all day menu. There are two choices from which diners can choose. Both claiming to be made with "Lots of Love," the five-cheese mac n' cheese and truffle mac n' cheese will bring a large smile to your face. Although the menu doesn't reveal what makes up the five-cheese option, rest assured that the combination comes out perfectly. With herb croutons added to the top, this dish provides the ideal mix of creamy and crunchy. As for the truffle option, expect a base of cheesy pasta with oyster mushrooms, bacon and truffle oil.

In 'DNA fingerprinting back in the dock' (6 March), your reporter William Bown quotes me as having used the phrase 'forensic science mafia' in relation to the Crown Forensic Services. This is a serious and offensive misquotation.
I explained to Bown that there were very few forensic practitioners in the United Kingdom who had not been trained in, or at some stage worked for, the Home Office or the Metropolitan Forensic Service. As a result, when challenging forensic evidence, one was frequently obliged to employ an expert to check the work of professionals he knew, had trained with or had been taught by.
This is in no way a criticism of the integrity of the Crown Forensic Services and merely highlights the difficulties faced by all parties in working within the highly specialised area of DNA. Bown has effectively misrepresented what was said by his use of colourful language, adding ...

She plays Inga, a 16 year old cherry who lives on a farm in the middle of no where. As far as seeing nude females and some sex action, it's disgusting that much of it results from rape, and the plot has almost no sensitivity to the character's feelings or trauma. Casten's equally loutish friend Bjorn (homely beanpole Leif Naeslund) forces himself on Inga on their first date, but she falls for the creep anyway! When Inga decides to take a bath one fateful day, Casten naturally can't help but join the luscious lass for some splashy carnal fun. These are no doubt pretty common Swedish names, but it's certainly possible that this was meant to ride the coattails of "Inga", and that Christina Lindberg might have been cast in this. The coming of age story really doesn't work too well because at the heart this is still a sexploitation movie. Watch free full Maid in Sweden movie online.

Hey kiddos! B.Magick here coming at you from sunny Los Angeles, CA and want to send a big HELLO to all the blog readers and EDM pioneers reading this. I'm very excited to be writing for Dani Deahl and good things are sure to come!
Enough of the pleasantries, let's get down to what we're all here for. First track out of the gates, gotta make it a good one right?
I have to support my fellow SoCal resident DJ HLM on this re-work of the classic Swedish House Mafia and Laidback Luke track "Leave the World Behind" The original is instantly recognizable, and HLM does a great job at capturing all the essence of the original with his own spin on it and brings in a nice fat synth to round it out.
Swedish House Mafia & Laidback Luke – Leave The World Behind (HLM Remix)
In my continued support of artists in places I live (SoCal) or where I'm from (Toronto!) this track does my heart good. Montreal born and Toronto based producers No Big Deal throw down some big electro sounds on the classic 1980 Eric Clapton song "Cocaine". If there's one quick way to my heart, it's bringing a crazy sound to a classic song, and this one succeeds in every way.
Eric Clapton – Cocaine (No Big Deal Remix)
Madonna! Controversy! You already know what song I'm talking about, and if you don't then I hope that rock is comfortable you're living under. Cedric Gervais' song "Molly" was legendary before anyone heard it, and Ryan Enzed brings a darker a deeper feeling to the track with a big bass synth pouring out of your speakers. And he's from New Zealand (see I'm not totally biased to places I've been).
Cedric Gervais – Molly (Ryan Enzed Bootleg)
Finally, Las Vegas duo Ikon & Exodus round things out with something a little more mainstream but effective in a variety of sets with a remix of Rihanna's "You Da One". It brings a little more EDM in to the song and has a nice breakdown to keep things sexy.
Rihanna – You Da One (Ikon And Exodus Remix)
Well that's it! My first post. And my first post wouldn't be complete without …
BAM! SoCal based and Windsor, ON raised DJ/Producer DJ B.Magick comes out with a bootleg of Gotye's "Somebody You Used To Know" and the Hard Rock Sofa track "Blow Up" remixed by Axwell & Thomas Gold. Enjoy it.

Dear friends,
On October 12, 2009, just three years ago, my husband Chris (who was then Senior Counsel for HSLDA) passed away after a 15-year battle with multiple sclerosis. The last year of his life was probably the most difficult. The MS had caused lesion activity in his hypothalamus (extremely rare in MS patients), and he gradually but increasingly suffered from severe hypothermia.
Our last trip together was to Colorado Springs that September, where we were attending a national homeschool leadership conference together as a family. Chris never came home. After spending a weekend in ICU because of a drastically low 86.6 degree temperature and the multiple complications the life-threatening hypothermia caused, he only lived another two weeks before God called him home.
We were surrounded by many friends, homeschooling families and leaders in their states, and their overflowing expressions of love and care were used by the Lord to buoy us in the face of losing our husband and father. My children had long been aware that God could call dad home at any time, but death is and will always be a terrible blow. I am so very thankful that all seven of my children could be there at the end of their dad's life. He was such a remarkably giving, loving, godly father, and his impact on their lives has shaped in great part who they have and are still becoming.
Many people have asked me these past three years how my children worked through the death of their father who they were all very close to. I've given that some thought, especially since I've talked with others who experienced the death of a parent while still young. Unfortunately, these people haven't always adjusted well. 20 or more years later, for some of them, they still have regrets, feel like they were cheated out of something with the loss of their parent, or still experience great pain, like a deep wound that won't heal.
What priorities did God most impress on my heart for my children after their daddy died?
- Each one of my children experienced genuine grief, but needed to do so in their own way. Some needed to talk a lot; some needed quiet places to ponder and process. Some of my kids seemed to tackle the reality of his death immediately and could move on with their lives with genuine faith in the Lord; others need to feel his loss regularly. New experiences in their growing lives are fresh reminders that their dad is no longer here to walk with them through those, and their grief is once again rekindled, though thankfully to a lesser degree. A couple of my children have yet to really grieve their dad's death. God's timing is to be trusted. My prayer, however, is that He will help them walk through the grieving process when they are spiritually ready to deal with it in a faith-filled way. My priority in losing their dad was (and still is) to let my children grieve the way they need to, and to encourage my children to accept each other's expressions (or lack of expression) as valid.
- Do not try to rush back to normal life. For us, this included scaling back on our school schedule for a year. For the first five months, I observed we all seemed to need inordinate amounts of sleep! We also needed the freedom to just let everything come to a halt at times so we could simply be together—talking, remembering, crying, praying, even playing—finding God to be with us through it all. Trying to keep up a normal school year would have been detrimental to my kids' emotional and spiritual health and well-being.
- Give your children the truth of God's Word. In addition to your listening ear, your healing touch, and your loving words and prayers, your children need truth. The greatest spiritual battles are won and lost over what we believe. Lies are the enemy's trademark. Grieving for a loved one lost is, at its root, a battle. Besides possibly have some real questions about death and what comes after, your children might be tempted to think God is not all-powerful or that He turned His back on their mommy, daddy, sibling, etc. who died. They may struggle to believe that God is good. They may feel like He has abandoned them. Here is where you can give them the truth and the power of the Scriptures. In my next post, I'll list a few Bible verses you might share with your children.
Some weeks after Chris died, my youngest son John and I had a lot of time to talk about the end of his dad's life. We talked about the particulars and timing of Chris's death and how God's hand was mercifully and lovingly superintending all the details. John, as well as all of our children had a great peace about the circumstances of Chris's homecoming. Not one of the children, as we look back over those last days with our beloved father and husband, would ever want Chris to be back with us because MS was such an intensely difficult disease. They all know he is experiencing the greatest joy and peace and completeness in heaven with Jesus that we could ever know!
"Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." ~I Peter 1:3
It has been exactly three years now since God called my dear Chris home. Thankfully, as I look back, I can see that God has given us so much grace. Amidst the pain of loss and the many, many ways we still miss Chris, He helped us find glimpses of hope for our new life together. He has surprised us with moments of joy and laughter, like the little fresh shoots of flowers that pop up in our yard each spring. How I thank God for His lovingkindness that enabled us to grieve freely, yet still have hope and joy!
There's no place like home,

Internal market: general framework
The internal market is one of the pillars of the European Union. Completed in 1992, the single market is an area without internal frontiers in which persons, goods, services and capital can move freely, in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community. The internal market is essential for prosperity, growth and employment in the EU, contributing to the achievement of its objectives under the Lisbon strategy. As an integrated, open and competitive area, it in fact promotes mobility, competitiveness and innovation, interacting in particular with the EU sectoral policies. To ensure that everyone, citizen or business, can make the most of the advantages of the single market, the EU concentrates on dismantling barriers still impeding its operation. It seeks to harmonise legislation in order to improve its response to the challenges of globalisation and to adapt to advances, such as the new technologies.
Internal Market strategy
- Single Market Act: improving our work, business and exchanges with one another
- Single market: improving its functioning
- Driving European recovery
- A single market for 21st century Europe
- Interim report on the single market in the 21st century

Stephen Roots suggests that most atheists would admit the possibility of hitherto unknown, vastly intelligent life forms (20 June, p 25).
Indeed, such life forms may exist and they may land in London's Hyde Park in pink-striped flying saucers tomorrow, demanding an audience with David Attenborough.
So far, no such intelligent aliens have revealed themselves, and we have no reason to think they will. We must continue without any expectation of the good advice they might be able to offer us - assuming that they have overcome problems similar to those that beset us.
Similarly, gods and goddesses may exist but they neither cause disasters nor answer prayers. We must use what we learn from science to address our problems.
Science's most useful lesson is that we can only feel secure in our knowledge by constantly doubting and testing it. That's why belief without evidence, whether in intelligent aliens ...

The New Guitar Gods: Lamb of God
The New Guitar Gods: Lamb of God
"Our goal with Sacrament was to make a record that takes the listener different places," says Morton. "We wanted to prove to everyone, and also to ourselves, that while we are a heavy metal band, there are no limits to what we're capable of accomplishing."
For the new album, Lamb of God were afforded a relaxed timetable in which to create. It was a far cry from the recording process for Ashes of the Wake, during which Epic, eager to capitalize on their new signing (or perhaps anxious to determine if the pairing of major label and extreme metal would result in disaster), pressured the band to rush out a product. Sacrament's unhurried schedule gave the band members, all of whom contribute to the writing process, liberty to explore ideas to a greater degree. "On the last record we were really under the gun, so we probably wouldn't have even bothered with songs like 'Redneck' or 'Descending,' " says Morton. "But this time we felt we could take some chances, because we knew that if something didn't suit the band we simply wouldn't use it. In the end, we were able to incorporate a lot of different sounds into the songs."
And some of those sounds are indeed different. The guitarists appear ill at ease with discussing the, albeit sparingly employed, keyboards and orchestration on Sacrament, but in the few instances where these sounds are audible, the effect is dramatic. On the leadoff track, "Walk with Me in Hell," a snaking single-note guitar line weaves in and out of an ominous drone to create a beautifully ethereal sound, while on "Again We Rise," a blastbeat-style drum pattern and Blythe's caustic vocal come together with an atmospheric keyboard pad in a chorus that sounds channeled straight from Scandinavia.
"I'll admit that at first I was like, 'We cannot have fucking keyboards on our record!' " says Adler. "It was a touchy subject. But the few moments where they are there only serve to add depth to the sound. It didn't bum me out when I heard the final mix."
"There are a lot of little subsonic touches going on that function to add mass to the songs," adds Morton. "As a result, the record has a more dynamic sound, but without sacrificing any of the aggression. I think it really adds to the whole thing."
Morton and Adler were equally open minded when it came to their guitar parts. The two composed some of their most hardhitting and inventive riffs for Sacrament, while also being conscious of playing in the service of the song, something that they had not always done in the past. "There have been a number of times where Willie and I have had to stop what we're doing and say, 'Is this a song we're writing, or is it a guitar clinic?' " says Morton. "You start going off on these tangents, stringing all these crazy riffs together, and you lose sight of your goal. We have to remember that 98 percent of our audience does not play guitar or drums. It's important for us to push the limits of our abilities as players, but we also have to keep in mind that the song is what's most important."

Flora and fauna
Just 100 kilometres from the capital, a bear has been sighted in a forest! A piece of news like that is unthinkable in Great Britain, Denmark, Germany or Belgium, but is commonplace in Latvia. That is because Latvian nature is truly biologically diverse and Latvian forests can boast a rich flora and fauna.
For instance, 21 species found in Latvia have been included among the world's protected species; bears have been sighted in Latvian forests as well. The bear is not an everyday occurrence in Latvian nature - there are about a dozen of them in the entire country. Bears can be seen in Latvia now and then, but they are not a reason to be afraid of stepping into the Latvian forests - any animal fears humans and a bear will flee upon noticing a two-legged being.
Of course, a bear sighting in the wild is very rare, but you can easily come across roe deer, red deer, elk, wild boars, foxes, wolves and even lynx. All you need to do is go for an unhurried walk in nature and be a careful observer - you will encounter animals that elsewhere in Europe can only be seen in special nature parks.
Interestingly, foxes have been seen even in the green, park-covered centre of Riga, while two families of beavers are causing a headache for the park management of the capital. The beavers have taken up residence in the city canal and are gnawing on trees in the greenery; the animal has even been seen swimming in the canal past the Freedom Monument.
While bird-watching at Riga's "gateway to the sea" within 40 minutes of Mangaļsala Island, at the end of the pier, you could be lucky to spot a seal. Of course, it is not always possible to catch a glimpse of forest animals in open settings; after all, animals try to avoid humans. But that is no reason for sorrow; all you need to do is head to the Līgatne nature park where the animals can be viewed in near-natural conditions. Trails of over five kilometres in length meander along open enclosures containing bears, bison, elk, wolves, lynx and other animals.
The Pape nature park is an interesting object for viewing. Here you can encounter animals such as wild horses (tarpans), aurochs and even bison. In order to see them, you need to contact the Pape nature park.
To view animals, you can also head to "Cīruļi", the branch of the Riga Zoo in Kalvene in Aizpute municipality. Here, in an area of 138 hectares, 38 species of wild animals and 12 further species and breeds of domestic animals can be seen. Bears, wolves, domestic lamas and other animals dwell here in conditions approximating a natural setting.
There are also over 40 deer parks in Latvia where red deer, mouflons, fallow deer and other animals can be encountered. The one closest to Riga is "Saulstari" in More, Sigulda municipality, while the largest is "Viesakas" in the Madona region.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – As part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's Pink Zone initiative, the Saint Leo women's basketball team and their cross town rivals will be teaming up to raise awareness and funds for the Kay Yow Foundation.
On Wednesday, February 18, the Lions will battle the University of Tampa Spartans, but during the game, a much more important battle will be waged.
This year's Pink Zone event will hold special regard as long-time Head Coach Kay Yow passed away on January 24 after a long battle with breast cancer.
The theme for this event, "Assisting in the Fight Against Breast Cancer," will serve as the basis for the entire game. Fans are asked to pledge money for each assist that the Lions record during this game. The University of Tampa will also be collecting money from their fan base for each assist that they record. At the conclusion of the game, the money will be combined and the donation will be made to the Kay Yow Foundation in each team's name.
Fans are encouraged to wear pink as we attempt the first ever "Pink Out" in the Marion Bowman Activities Center. The first 500 fans will also receive a pink ribbon lapel pin to show their support for this cause. In addition, breast cancer survivors and those who are currently battling breast cancer will be guests of honor for this event. Their entry fee will be waved, and they will be recognized at halftime of the game.
The Lions have set their goal to raise one thousand dollars through this event, and your help is graciously appreciated. You are welcome to bring your donation to the game, or you can drop it off at the Athletics Office prior to the game. If you need further information about how to donate, please contact Erika Danford at email@example.com or (352) 588-8684.
Mission Statement
The WBCA Pink Zone™ initiative is a global, unified effort for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.
The WBCA began the WBCA Pink Zone™, formerly known as "Think Pink", in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast cancer awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in communities. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year a success. In 2008, over 1,200 teams and organizations participated, reaching over 830,000 fans and raising over $930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research.

San Mateo High School is pursuing the installment of lights on their turf Stadium Field. This would greatly benefit many student-athletes by extending the hours they can use the track and field, as well as the outside organizations who rent the field when the school is not using it. Due to the lack of daylight hours, student-athletes from all over the Peninsula are missing valuable class time in order to compete in high school sports and get their games in while it is still light out, while outside organizations compete heavily for the precious few fields that do have lights.
Please sign the petition attached if you agree that LIGHTS AT SMHS SHOULD BE INSTALLED.
