Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has repeated his criticism of Jose Bosingwa, who refused to be a substitute for the recent victory against Fulham.
The former Chelsea defender was subsequently dropped for Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United and looks set to leave Loftus Road in January, although his excessive wages could be a problem.
His future here depends on his attitude really.Harry Redknapp
His future here depends on his attitude really.
Bosingwa has again been left out of QPR's squad for their game with West Brom on Boxing Day and Redknapp admits it will be tough for him to win his place back.
QPR, 1.001 to be relegated this season, are 2.37 to beat the Baggies while Steve Clarke's side can be backed at 3.00 to take all three points from the clash.
Redknapp said the senior players in his squad have backed him over his stance, saying: "The good lads have not got a problem with it. The good lads would be sick. The Ryan Nelsens and Clint Hills and all the good lads all thought it was a disgrace.
"That's the first time it's ever happened to me as a manager and I've managed some pretty temperamental players. I've never known anyone to do that. It was something new to me and not something I like.
"His future here depends on his attitude really. We'll have to wait and see what happens. When you are down you need help. When you are playing Fulham at home you need help. We were desperate as we hadn't won a game all year."

Shipping bike by boat to Australia
Hello all,
In a few days I'm moving to Australia and I would like to have my Africa Twin with me. It seems to me the perfect country for her. I will stay a long time and despite not being able to handle it before leaving, since I'm not sure if I can afford it, I would like to leave everything prepared. The problem is that the bike was not marketed by Honda Austalia and I still do not know how much it costs to import her, have to talk to Canberra.
Also one day I would like to be able to return overland all the way back to Portugal, as this guy: www.maartensworld.com/
Now I'm trying to obtain information from a Freight Forwarder / Customs Broker about sending the Africa Twin through shipping to Sydney.
And after a few laps I got a contact of a guy that can help me. However he asked me to send him some data for him to calculate prices, since the bike would have to be dismantled and shipped in a box, because by shipping it must go through a number of different ports / transhipment.
The most important thing is not the weight but the volume. Now does anyone here who has gone through a similar situation can help me to calculate these values.
- Weight of Mota (206 kg)
- Size of bike w / front tire, glass top case disassembled (??)
- Volume of the box where the bike is sent (??)
Thanks for the help.

I´ve taken my bike from home to Oz four years ago... but that was a TEMPORARY import.
From your post I read you´d want to make a PERMANENT import, am I right? This will include all taxes & duties to be paid, and I believe could become very expensive (and naturally it will be on top of all freight expenses).
I do not know, how long you would be allowed to have the bike in Oz temporarily, what I do know is that you will need a carnet to do that. But the government´s webpages surely must have the answers.
Do note, that no matter what type of import you want to do, all vehicles entering Oz must be EXTREMELY clean, and not just the outside, for they will have to pass the AQIS quarantine inspection.
There was just recently an older bus from Finland (yes, you´ve read correctly, and it had been driven overland more or less all the way!) that they tried to get temporarily into Oz, but in the end got stuck with the quarantine inspection, and ultimately the vehicle had to be freighted elsewhere, a huge disappointment for those travellers I´m sure. A bike will be easier to clean, but still a lot of work!
Also note, that the quarantine requirements also apply to everything else you´re bringing in, such as riding gear (and leave every single food item out of your packages!!)
I did Finland to Oz on a DL650 with my GF as a pillion 4 years ago, we spent 6 months, probably too short but was still a fabulous trip, one of the best I´ve ever done – if you want to check out our "blog" (well, still not complete, as I was writing to a magazine at the time of the trip, so the "blog" suffered, sadly it´s still missing the last part, but I am going to finish it, that´s a promise!) the reports can be found here:
And I´ve also done other trips in Europe and different parts of Asia (especially the Southeastern part of it) so although my info is maybe getting partly outdated, I´ll be glad to help you out any way I can!
ps. If your looking for a freight agent, I think I got a pretty good deal from Tradelanes in Melbourne, when I shipped my bike back home from Sydney to Helsinki by sea (it cost me about 500 euros at the sending end, and 170-180 euros in Helsinki). I don´t know if they could help you out, when sending the other way, but they seemed to know their stuff, and probably won´t hurt to ask.

For the physical shipment of the bike, I'd call the closest Savino Del Bene and/or SDV Logistics office and request quotes. These are the largest freight forwarders in Europe and they will have no problem setting you up in one of their consolidated container shipments from Lisbon. Savino puts a huge amount of freight through Lisbon
I'd also ask both of these companies for airfreight quotes (I'm guessing the rate might surprise you).

You want to find someone that will have a 'consolidated container' that once loaded will be sealed and travel to Sydney.
The container will be trans-loaded a couple of times onto different ships - but you do not want your bike transloaded.

I see, thanks for all your help.
I'll talk to this companies you said JDK too, it's never bad to have different prices. I already have the general flight prices, way over the top, that's why I'm considering boat transportation.
I'll also have to send an e-mail to the Australian Government; I can't do anything until I have the prices for importation. But I'm staying only for 3 years, so it won't be permanent.
Also this weekend I'm dismantling the whole bike to clean it (!!) and measure it without the parts I mentioned.
Another thing that is eating my brains is the fact that this bike wasn't sold in Australia, so how will I get spare parts if I need them? I know that the Africa Twin has a fame for being indestructible, but you never know
Thanks for your help again guys. I'll keep you updated.

This isn't directly comparable since I temporarely imported my bike to Australia and re-exported it a year later.
We shipped 4 bikes in a 20' container from Oslo to Melbourne.
Export clearance and shipping came to NOK 20.000,00 (may have 40k, can't recall exactly ) for the container and took 6 weeks.
It took another 2 weeks getting the container released from the harbour, hauled to a warehouse, getting quarantine "inspected" stickers on the bikes, temporary import clearance (had to get BMW Townsville (since I had an acquaintance there) write a fax stating the value of all 4 bikes) and then finally getting the bikes. That whole ordeal was another 20k (or 40k.... it was the same amount as the shipping)
When shipping them back to Norway we asked Soutbank BMW in Melbourne for 3 crates (that new bikes come in) and they gave us them for free. They even offered to let us pack the bikes in their parking garage as well and was very helpful when the crates were picked up (after we had left). Had to remove the front wheel and mudguard as well as mirrors. Tied the bikes down to the floor of the box and stuffed most of our luggage around the bikes. The return freight came out just shy of the container freight per bike, but it was much easier handling the crates and no waiting when the bikes arrive back home.
Next time (hoping) I'll easily crate mine both ways.
Warning, I would not ship in conatiner if they didn't let you tie the bike down and untie it yurself. I've seen numerous ride reports on ADV rider where the so-called experts do it and it looks like a mess when the container is opened at the other end.
You may want to look into ATA Carnet to make life easier, but they are only valid for 12 months. Either way - hope you have a nice trip - I know I had a blast !

You might like to also contact the guys (Ivan Smoljko) at www. bikesabroad.com.au as they are motorcyclists themselves and having dealt with them by email and getting pricing they are competitive, plus the know what needs to be done. If you contact them, then let them know that the kiwi with the XT1200Z at Brisbane motorcycles for export to China recommended you to them. All the other information and requirements are listed on the Australian government webpages which I have viewed before, but you can find yourself using a web search engine.

When Justin Malone arrived at Mississippi State, the offensive line's time together ended when the pads were taken off.
The sophomore right guard has seen things turn around for the Bulldog offensive line. They have gelled on and off the field.
"When I first got here, I really didn't hang out with much of them," Malone said. "I hung out with them a few times, but I really didn't do it that much."

Jeep Grand Cherokee
Car details navigation
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 Limited Car Review | 1 May 2001Driven May 2001
Additional Info
Next steps
Yessiree Bob, this four-litre, straight-six-engined critter may lack the ultimate urge of the big daddy 4.7-litre V8 Grand, but it's still as grunty as your average WWF grudge match and will take you further into the wild west than similarly-sized/priced rivals. When you look at what you get for your bucks, this four-litre LTD's asking price looks decidedly Wal-Mart compared with, say, the equivalent Range Rover's Selfridges-style cost.
Mated to that straight-six, you get standard automatic transmission, cruise control, aircon, leather and electric seats. OK, you also get some unnecessary timber adorning the dash, but at least the company no longer feels the need to cram most control functions onto a single steering-column-mounted stalk. Mercifully, all the relevant functions are dealt with by a dashboard arrangement much more familiar to drivers used to vehicles manufactured on this side of the pond.
What you won't be used to, if you're considering switching from a regular 'sedan', is the Grand Cherokee's on-road feel. There's plenty of show, with a suitably gutsy roar from the engine and an Addams Family-sized lurch from the transmission if you apply serious cowboy boot to the throttle, but not as much go as you might expect.
The general feeling is still more redneck than refined and the ride and handling are decidedly rustic compared with newer breeds of 4x4 - like BMW's X5 or Mercedes' M-class. The steering isn't quite as light and vague as George W Bush's grasp of world geography, but it's not far off. Add to that shock absorbers and tyres that feel like they've been filled with waste cellulite from a Florida liposuction clinic, and you get a decidedly wobbly experience on the tarmac.
Get used to it, though, and you are soon threading through towns and cruising happily down the open road, dreaming of the Grand Canyon, which, incidentally, is the natural feature most brought to mind when you attempt to fill the boot with kit. Like the country it comes from, this Grand Cherokee is far from perfect - the unsupportive front seats and rears that are as slidey as a Ry Cooder soundtrack, bear testament to that. But it's still a cool wagon to roll in

WPS, Motorcycle Industry Jobs join forces
February 24, 2012
Filed under News, Top Stories
Motorcycle Industry Jobs announced that it has joined forces with Western Power Sports to offer employment services to the WPS network of motorcycle dealers.
Services include both job postings and resume browsing. Dealers can now connect with Motorcycle Industry Jobs services directly through their WPS rep or the WPS website.
"We at Western Power Sports are proud to be partnered with MIJ," Western Power Sports national sales manager Doug Riipinen said. "Our reps are consistently asked if they know any good mechanics, parts people, sales guys, etc. Now our reps will be able to help the dealerships find their next employee."
"This is a perfect fit," said Alex Baylon, president and founder of MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com. "This partnership will further expand our reach of strategic partnerships. WPS reps will be able to reach thousands of employers and job seekers to help fill the many positions that require industry experience. They will also have an outlet to help job seekers find positions within the industry."
MIJ has created a part number with WPS, and whenever a dealer purchases an ad through a WPS sales rep, a drop ship P.O. is created. MIJ personnel then contact the dealership to create the ad.
"WPS facilitates the sale, and we close it," Baylon said.

Bad News: Byrdak Has Torn Anterior Capsule In Shoulder, Could Be Out A Very Long Time
The Mets announced that Tim Byrdak has a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder. Byrdak had an MRI done on his left shoulder
This is a big blow. This is the same injury that Chris Young and Johan Santana had and both took well over a full year to recover. Here's what the Mets said about Tim in their press release:
The treatment for this injury has not been finalized, but surgery is a possibility. Tim's return to throwing is undetermined at this time.
We don't know if Byrdak will have the surgery or whether or not he will seek another opinion. However, if this is the injury, he probably won't be able to avoid surgery.
This is a totally different injury than the one Pedro Feliciano suffered that ended his career, but there roles were certainly similar and you have to wonder if the heavy workload was just too much for Byrdak. I don't know anything about how the shoulder works and whether that scientifically, the injury was caused by the workload. Feliciano pitched in a total of 266 games in his last three seasons with the Mets. Byrdak is leading the league in appearances at the moment.
There's no doubt Byrdak was overworked. For a large part of the season, he was the only lefty in the Mets bullpen, which meant that Terry Collins was calling on him to pitch almost every night. Again, I don't know the science behind this injury – whether it's just a freak thing or whether it can be caused by overuse – but I bet the usage played at least some part in this injury.
The sad really sad part about this injury is that Byrdak may never pitch in the majors ever again. It took Johan Santana a year and a half to return from this surgery, and he is much younger than Byrdak. By the time Byrdak is fully healthy, he will be 40.
Good luck to Byrdak in his rehab. He is so funny (Remember the chicken? Of course you do!) but he is also an all-around nice guy. He loves interacting with fans on Twitter. Hopefully he will be able to return and pitch again in the big leagues.
On a more minor note, Byrdak will be placed on the 60-day DL in all likelihood, meaning that the Mets won't have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Garrett Olson when he is called up tomorrow.

Adams has emerged this spring as one of Nike Baltimore Elite's top offensive threats. A quick, unselfish ball-handler, Adams has proved to be a reliable scorer for the AAU program.
"It's been going well," Adams said after a Nike Elite practice at Baltimore City Community College last week. "We could be doing better. We've got to get a few more wins, but other than that we'll be good."
Adams, who is averaging 9.2 points this spring, shot 46 percent from 3-point range last weekend during Baltimore's five-game run at the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League's Minneapolis event. He went 5-for-6 from beyond the arc and scored a team-high 17 points in NBE's 66-60 loss to the St. Louis Eagles.
College coaches have taken note of Adams' play with Mount St. Joseph and Nike Baltimore Elite. Adams said he has scholarship offers from Mount St. Mary's, Delaware and Radford, while Cleveland State and Davidson have also recently expressed interest.
"I don't really have a decision," Adams said of his recruitment. "I've been out to Mount St. Mary's and I heard [from other people that it's] cool, but nah, no timeline yet."
Playing a starring role for Nike Baltimore Elite should prepare Adams well for his expanded role as a senior with Mount St. Joseph. The defending Baltimore Catholic League champions lost Williams (Ohio State) to graduation, but return Booth – a Top 75 recruit considering Georgetown, Indiana, Maryland and Villanova, among others.
Adams, who scored 12 points in the Gaels' BCL title-game win over Archbishop Spalding, said his junior season was a success because it ended with a championship victory and the team "had fun doing it."

I'd say Rampage and Mir would meet up in the finals but Rampage couldn't handle him. Mir is to technical and his submissions are ridiculous
I'd say Rampage and Mir would meet up in the finals but Rampage couldn't handle him. Mir is to technical and his submissions are ridiculous
after UFC 100, it honestly looks like Lesnar would take this home as much as it pains me to say it. He looks to have mastered control of opponents, and if it's open weight, he's going to be coming in at around 290-300. Brock also has a ridiculous gas tank for such a big man. in the end i think his size will be too much for everybody especially since at this point i don't think he's new enough to the sport where his skills are so bad that someone will be able to overcome a possible 40-70 lb disadvantage. I also am not a Brock fan to make things clear
possible winners by division
HW- lesnar, nog, CC
LHW- machida- shogun-page-evans
MW- anderson-wand-hendo-marquardt-maia
WW- GSP-Fitch-alves???- hughes?????
LW- penn-florian-diaz-stevenson ( made mir tap once didnt he?)
Dan "The G.O.A.T." Henderson
Member of the Demian Maia fan club
Anderson VS Shogun 2012 Dana make it happen
Every weight class included? I'd go with Anderson Silva.
Here's my list of highest 5 fighters I considered and ranked from 1st down to 5th:
1. A. Silva
2. L. Machida
3. Brock Lesnar
4. Big Nog
5. Rampage
Now, why would I have A. Silva & Machida ahead of Lesnar? Well, it's a tournament and all in my head so I would have their movement, striking abilities, jiu-jitsu knowledge, and experience listed as the factors in the fight. I don't know that they would actually beat him, but Brock isn't nearly as crafty as they are. Is crafty important? Maybe it is.
Wow anyone could take this depending on conditoning and injuries during fights. I'll pick BJ Penn.
mma fanatic
HawaiiUFC.com - UFC Gear, UFC Videos, UFC Books, UFC News, and More.
The old school style would mean the 8 man tournament, starting with four fights, then two, then the main event.....so first we'd have to pick which 8 fighters to go with. How about these:
1) Brock Lesnar
2) Shane Carwin
3) Anderson Silva
4) Lyoto Machida
6) Wanderlei Silva
7) Big Nog
8) Rampage Jackson
You have to consider that in many of those old tournaments fighters that won fights could not move forward because they got hurt in earlier fights. On my list, I see Big Nog as having the highest probability of winning a fight but not being able to move forward because of doctors orders. I see Brock Lesnar as having the highest probability of getting through fights with minimal damage; even higher than lighting fast Anderson Silva.
An 8-man tournament using the fighters on my list, I'd put money on Lesnar.
ALL BLACKHOUSE FINAL = Lyoto, A Silva, Big Nog and the outside final member is Carwin
Last edited by TBEAR; 11-13-2009 at 11:18 AM.
The final four would be Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Frank Mir, and unfortunately GSP. Either way, I got BJ Penn winning it all because I believe that he is THE MOST TALENTED fighter in the UFC, hell, the world. Mir would come in second, unless of course he had to fight BJ lol. I just can't root for Anderson after all of this whining about not wanting to fight so and so, and then deciding when Vitor was brought up to get his surgery done. As far as GSP, I just hate him haha

text: Fujitsu flip-phone is device of choice for Japan's philanderers Technology 14 January 13 by Olivia Solon Shutterstock Fujitsu's F-Series phones have become known as "infidelity phones" in Japan because of some of their privacy features which make it easy for adulterers to hide calls and messages from contacts marked as "private".The flip-phone has been on the market for more than five years, but has been outed in the Wall Street Journal by a Japanese dating blogger who goes by the name of Bakanabe as device of choice for men (and, presumably, women) who want to hide certain calls or texts from their partners. It has a privacy mode that allows the user to designate certain contacts as private. If one of those contacts get in touch via calls, emails or text messages, the phone creates none of the usual call logs or other such evidence. Instead, there will be a subtle change in the colour or shape of the battery signs or signal bars.This privacy mode can then be turned off using a secret combination of keys, which allow the hidden calls and messages to be revealed. This means that a phone can be left out around a suspicious partner without any risk of the phone's owner being caught out. The phone has become so popular with cheaters that it has been given the nickname "uwaki keitai", or "infidelity phone".Fujitsu launched the feature in 2002, but has never marketed it as a phone for philanderers. Rather, it focuses on security and privacy.The company is gradually phasing out these flip-phones in favour of smartphones, although it has migrated a version of the privacy function (although the latest version requires an additional app download).This is not the first time that a service has been heralded for helping cheaters hide their misbehaviour. In 2011 an app called Loky Plus launched, allowing people to lead double lives on their smartphones, hiding texts and phone calls from prying partners' eyes.The app sets up a secure area on your mobile phone, where you can put private contacts. Loky Plus then manages the calls and messages, storing the data separately from the rest of the phone. Call and Text Eraser (CATE) offers a similar level of security.Image: Shutterstock Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Instead, there will be a subtle change in the colour or shape of the battery signs or signal bars.hiding texts and phone calls from prying partners' eyes. private Mar 28th 2013 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

DIM dwarf stars could account for much of our Galaxy's supposedly "dark" matter.
The Galaxy is thought to harbour lots of matter we can't see, either as ordinary matter in some invisible form, or as exotic particles new to physics.
Now Ben Oppenheimer of the University of California at Berkeley says nearly all of that ordinary dark matter could be white dwarf stars. His team spotted a host of faint white dwarfs, and says they could account for between 3 and 35 per cent of the total mystery mass. The results will appear in a future issue of

The Ravens' offense and Steve McNair did.
The city's NFL record crowd of 71,162 searching for revenge - or "Ravenge" as one end-zone sign read - felt the same sting from March 1984, when the Colts sneaked out of town to move to Indianapolis.
The loss proved even more stunning because of the haphazard play of McNair, who had helped transform the Ravens from an underachieving team to one of the league's best. The former NFL Most Valuable Player struggled mightily, throwing two interceptions (including a critical one in the red zone) and fumbling on his final play.
"To end on a shorter note than you intended ... it's very heartbreaking," McNair said. "Do I feel bad? Of course I feel bad. I feel bad that we lost. I feel the way I played. There can only be one champion. Unfortunately, this year isn't our year."
The Ravens' third straight playoff loss abruptly ended a season in which they set the team record for regular-season wins (13) and earned their highest postseason seeding ever.
The third-seeded Colts, who were playing their first playoff game in Baltimore since 1977, will advance to face the winner of today's New England-San Diego game.
As the Ravens walked off the field and into the locker room, the players filed in one-by-one in silence, knowing how they let themselves down as well as the passionate fans who wanted closure with their painful Colts past.
"This football team is as disappointed as our fans are, which is matched tenfold by the players," coach Brian Billick said. "This team appreciates our fans. They were deserving of better than that, but it just wasn't going to happen."
It wasn't going to happen because the offense failed to capitalize on a stellar performance by the defense, which held the Colts out of the end zone and limited them to 261 yards. The Ravens, who had experienced a renaissance since Billick took over the play-calling three months ago, looked more like the one that traditionally plodded.
The Ravens managed just one possession in the red zone, which ended with a McNair turnover. They failed to convert nine of 11 third downs. And they turned the ball over four times, two of which led to field goals.
The frustration was evident during and after the game. After McNair's second interception, offensive tackle threw his helmet toward the sideline when walking off the field. And later, receiver Derrick Mason vented in the locker room, saying he was "unappreciated" in the offense.
"If you don't win a Super Bowl ... it means nothing," Mason said. "If you can't win a playoff game, all that you've done in the regular season means nothing. This is what people will remember."
What people will remember is an offense contained by a much-maligned Colts defense. This is the fewest points Indianapolis has allowed since December 2005, when it faced McNair and the Tennessee Titans.
"Our defense played great and they gave us a lot of opportunities," said McNair, who was 18-for-29 for 173 yards and a quarterback rating of 49.9. "We didn't take advantage of those opportunities and it starts with the quarterback. When you get in that position, you have to go out and maintain the momentum that the defense gave us. We didn't do it offensively due to the turnovers we had."
The pivotal moment of the game came early in the second quarter after safety made an interception and set up the offense at midfield only down 6-3.
Marching down the field on the strong running of Jamal Lewis, the Ravens had a chance to either tie or take the lead by moving to the Indianapolis 3-yard line. But on third-and-goal, McNair was late on a throw to Heap in the end zone and was intercepted by rookie Antoine Bethea.
It marked McNair's third interception in the red zone this season.

THE world's population will probably never double again, according to the latest projections of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna. And for the first time ever, the IIASA figures reveal that fertility rates appear to have declined in every region of the world last year.
Unlike most previous population estimates, the IIASA's new numbers - fresh from the computer and reported for the first time at the AAAS meeting -consider not only the effect of future changes in the number of children per family, but also the possibility that death rates may change in the future because of changes in the rates of starvation or disease and in the quality of medical care.
The study also tries to estimate the uncertainty surrounding its predictions. This is not an easy task, says Wolfgang Lutz, a demographer who heads the IIASA's population programme. Lutz and his colleagues divided the ...

EatingWell Blogs (Page 18)
I love summer. There's just so much going on. Summer concerts in the park. Hikes and bike rides. Barbecues with friends. Trips to the ice cream stand.
Don't Miss: Secrets to the Best Homemade Ice Cream (Without the Heavy Cream)
What I don't love, though, is the hit my bank account seems to take right about now. Rather than cutting back on summer fun, I put my grocery budget on a financial diet. All these recipes clock in at $3 or less per serving, so I can spend more money on those fun summer activities. Added bonus? Not a one takes more than 30 minutes to get on the table, so we can play outside to our hearts' content.
Here's what's on my menu this week:

While I always have a decent selection of craft beers and a few bottles of wine in my fridge for the times when friends drop by for an impromptu summertime shindig, I've decided to make this The Summer of Sangria.
Don't Miss: 5 Summer Party Wines for $10 or Less
I've never been much of a sangria fan. I've found most restaurant variations to be sickeningly sweet, so it wasn't my first choice for summer drinking. What changed my mind? The killer sangria recipes the EatingWell Test Kitchen created for the July/August issue of the magazine. They skipped the sugar altogether and used zesty wines, flavorful liquors and tons of fresh fruit to make these sangria recipes a delight to all the senses. Worthy of a summer-long celebration of the original...read full post »

We celebrate summer in the July/August issue—starting with multicolored heirloom tomatoes on the cover. (Use your summer tomatoes in recipes like Heirloom Tomato Salad with Fried Capers or Tuna Salad-Stuffed Tomatoes with Arugula from this issue.) If you've got okra from the farmers' market or your garden (lucky you), we've got four new recipes to make with it, including a very Southern Black-Eyed Peas...read full post »
This morning my 2-year-old daughter, Lila, walked over to the kitchen island and yelled, "Nana!" while pointing to the last banana in the fruit bowl. My husband tried to tell her that the black-spotted banana was destined for the compost bucket, but it's hard to reason with a toddler—so I peeled it and gave her a chunk. She thought it was a perfectly acceptable breakfast, mushy spots and all.
Many people (like my husband) don't have time for overripe bananas. But here's the real secret: those past-their-prime 'nanas are actually a true culinary treat.
Overripe bananas have an over-the-top essence that's perfect for flavoring baked goods, pancakes, smoothies and more. When I don't have time to turn them into something special right away, I peel them, pop them in a bag whole and freeze them for future cooking endeavors. Or I freeze slices on a...read full post »

I don't know a soul who will pass up a slice of yummy ice cream pie. I have a friend who requests it for her birthday in August every year, but it was also the first dessert that disappeared at a dinner potluck I attended last year—in the dead of winter. They are just that good! The only thing about ice cream pie that isn't so stellar is the fat and calorie counts in the pies you pick up at the grocery store or your local ice cream shop. But lucky for us, it's super-easy to make a homemade ice cream pie—and when you make the EatingWell version, you'll save about 150 calories and half the saturated fat per serving.
Follow these four easy steps for a perfect Strawberry-Lime Ice Cream Pie:

I find it to be leaning somewhat against circumcision while trying not to offend any one particular group of people. Unfortunately, one cannot always be diplomatic about everything. One can be kind, choose words carefully, be civil even, but also stand for what is right. Human rights are not an issue to pussy foot around, so to speak. Genital integrity for baby boys is just as much a human right as it it is for baby girls. Hopefully this is the beginning of research for the author of the article and she will continue on to have her eyes fully opened to the impact of circumcision on both the children that have had it done to them and to our society.

Not Portal
Q.U.B.E is a first person puzzle game that will look quite familiar to most PC gamers.
It is very clear that this game is heavily inspired by Portal, to the point that it may feel like a budget knock-off of that game to some people. Imagine the first Portal game, but with no GLaDOS. Now imagine that the whole facility is not made out of panels, but cubes. Now, imagine that instead of having the portal gun, you have gloves that allow you to 'interact' with certain cubes, causing them to raise, lower, rotate, etc. That is Q.U.B.E in a nutshell.
Having competed the game in a few hours (let's say 2 - 3 hours), I found it enjoyable. While not nearly as good as the game that inspired it, there is something to be said for taking Portal, giving it the sort of ambient chill-out feel of Mirror's Edge (in sound and visual design - there is no parkour) and the gameplay of something sort of like Pushmo.
The downsides of this game are that it is extremely derivative, quite short / easy (your mileage may vary), and some of the achievements seem to be bugged.

San Diego borrowing $103 million for its fix-it list
Maintenance backlog estimated at $1 billion
A sampling of the projects to be paid for with borrowed money:
Lifeguard tower for La Jolla Shores, $3.4 million
Resurface parking lots in Balboa Park, $2.5 million
Reseal windows at downtown police headquarters, $750,000
Heating and air conditioning for North Park library, $250,000
Roofing for Ocean Beach branch library, $150,000
Elevator modernization for Old Globe Theatre, $100,000
San Diego will borrow $103 million today for repair projects, nearly a year after former City Attorney Michael Aguirre blocked it during a heated re-election campaign.
The plan calls for the city to use two libraries and the police headquarters as collateral to borrow money to repair 78 miles of streets, 2,316 sidewalks, storm drains, libraries and fire stations, among other things.
The biggest difference between now and then is that Republican Jan Goldsmith trounced Aguirre, a Democrat, in the November election. Goldsmith is willing to sign off on the complicated deal, whereas Aguirre refused.
Mayor Jerry Sanders held a news conference yesterday to re-introduce the borrowing plan at a pothole-riddled downtown intersection near Petco Park. He was asked if anything had changed besides Aguirre's ouster.
"I think you hit the nail on the head," he said.
Sanders said one benefit of the delay is that the city is able to do more projects with the money because construction costs have fallen along with the economy. Still, the projects will catch up on a fraction of the city's backlog of maintenance projects, last estimated at $1 billion.
The borrowing plan became a focal point in last year's city attorney race as Aguirre's opponents used it as Exhibit A in their campaign to label him as an obstructionist at City Hall.
Aguirre refused to sign off on the deal despite an opinion from the outside bond counsel he hired that it was a legal transaction. One of his chief deputies also vetted the plan and said it was commonplace throughout the state.
But Aguirre called the plan a "sham transaction" that violates the state's debt-limit laws and the city charter by taking on long-term debt without a public vote. Aguirre said the city couldn't borrow against a property unless the proceeds were used to benefit that property.
During the campaign, Goldsmith said the transaction appeared legal. Yesterday, he said his staff reviewed the bond counsel's opinion and the plan in the past few weeks.
"There's nothing from a legal standpoint that would prevent it from going forward," he said.
Aguirre declined to talk about it yesterday.
"I don't involve myself anymore in city issues," he said. "The voters kind of took me out of that and so I really don't have anything to say about it."
Sanders said Bank of America kept the deal on the table over the past year as city officials argued. He said he decided to move forward with the same deal because it would take 10 months to start over.
The city will pay 3.9 percent interest on the loan, including nearly $4.9 million in interest-only payments through June 2010. Sanders said the city plans to refinance the debt on the public bond markets before a higher interest rate is scheduled to kick in.

Thought buying a bicycle was simple? So did we. The biggest challenge we'd ever faced was which colour to go for, and as long as it couldn't be mistaken for a Boris Bike, we weren't too fussed.
So hearing about Bespoked – The UK Handmade Bicycle Show in April opened a whole new world to us. Over three days, the Velopark in Stratford hosts a plethora of stalls, exhibitors, talks and workshops to help cyclists get the most from their bikes.
Particular highlights include a talk by Peter Murray, who cycled from Portland (Oregon) to Portland (London) last year, and Mike Burrows' discussion about the history of the bicycle. Events are aimed to appeal to new cyclists, as well as the more seasoned rider, so there's something for everyone.
There are also a limited number of taster sessions to try out a BMX or road bike in the velodrome. Prebook here.
Now, you don't get that from a docking station, do you?
Bespoked – The UK Handmade Bicycle Show runs 11-13 April at Lee Valley Velopark, Stratford. Tickets are £10 per day or £20 for all three days. Buy yours here.

December 8, 2013 — Some love it, some hate it, few understand it. Some won't develop with WordPress because it doesn't use enough of it, some won't develop with WordPress again if it did. Object-oriented programming is by far the most widely spread programming paradigm, WordPress is by far the mostly spread web publishing system. In this talk we will see how the values of the two align and what can be the place of OOP in the future of WordPress.
August 15, 2013 — Writing code is building a user experience, where the user is the developer, who is reading the code. There are rarely two programmers who have the same opinion on what is clean and readable code. In order for their code to be usable, developers need to take the same things in consideration as user experience designers.

There are numerous errors in Thomas Henretta's letter about Freud and false memories (27 September, p 26). Freud was not using direct hypnosis at the time of the seduction theory episode in the mid-1890s. More important, as several scholars have now shown, his later accounts of the episode were grossly misleading.
At the time, he did not report that his female patients had been sexually abused by their fathers. Moreover, there were no "stories" of early childhood sexual abuse from the patients in question (one-third of whom were men). Freud analytically reconstructed preconceived childhood "sexual scenes" for every one of his current patients, largely on the basis of the symbolic interpretation of their symptoms.
Nor did he "question his patients further" and so discover that the supposed sexual abuse had been fantasised. It was some nine years later that he came up with his unconscious fantasy theory story to ...

7/6/14 Robert Downey Jr. is a Daddy
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, November 6, 2014
ROBERT DOWNEY JR. announced the arrival of his new daughter on Facebook, saying, quote, "After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall / winter project . . . Avri Roel Downey joined the party at 3:22 A.M. on November 4th . . . and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwritten my 'junk DNA.'"
They grow up so fast. Kylie Jenner has just landed her very first lawsuit. The youngest of the Kardashian clan is being sued after she allegedly caused a three-car accident in August 2013 -- only two weeks after she'd turned 16. According to a witness, Kylie crashed her Mercedes G-Wagon into a Toyota that was stopped in traffic -- which caused the Toyota to hit a Subaru. The woman claims she hurt her neck and back, and she's suing Kylie for being a negligent driver.
The parents of Amanda Bynes are set to file legal documents-- handing over the conservatorship of Amanda to someone else. According to TMZ, Amanda will now be under the care of a mental health professional who specializes in handling people with severe mental illnesses. Her parents will ask the judge to transfer conservatorship powers to that person. Bynes' parents know they've struck out with Amanda and don't have what it takes to effectively control her. They're hoping once someone else controls Amanda's finances, she'll stop lashing out at them and they can have a relationship, even though it will be long distance.
11/5/14 Angelina Running for Office?

Wednesday, November 5, 2014
So TOM CRUISE probably ISN'T dating LINDSAY LOHAN OR MIRANDA KERR . . . despite rumors that he might be seeing one or both of them. A "source" close to Miranda says, quote, "She laughed about this when she heard the rumors . . . Her main focuses are her child and her career at the moment." Meanwhile, Lindsay's rep denied the rumor . . . while Lindsay herself responded to it on Instagram with a "WTF!?!?!?!?" . . . which she later deleted.
BRITNEY SPEARS has a new boyfriend. His name is Charlie Ebersol, and he's the son of DICK EBERSOL . . . the guy who co-created "Saturday Night Live". A source says, quote, "They are both very happy and having fun. It's just the beginning so no idea if it will become serious but right now they are having a lot of fun together."
This story will make your day. The site Ranker.com has an ongoing poll set up, where they ask America: "Which Celebrity Do You Think Has the Lowest IQ?" At the moment, KIM KARDASHIAN is #1, so apparently we think she's the DUMBEST celebrity. KANYE WEST is second, followed by JUSTIN BIEBER.
In a new "Vanity Fair" interview, ANGELINA JOLIE says she's "open" to the possibility of running for office. But don't start making up the campaign posters just yet. She says, quote, "When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered. Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility." But she adds, quote, "I honestly don't know in what role I would be more useful . . . I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that [could] make it less possible." Elsewhere in the interview, Angelina admits that married life suits her. She says, quote, "It does feel different. It feels nice to be husband and wife."

MILEY CYRUS and PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER are reportedly dating, although Patrick's family has been trying to talk him out of it. It isn't working though. Miley was spotted leaving Patrick's Los Angeles apartment on Friday afternoon.
WAYNE BRADY admits that he suffers from depression. And it got really bad this past June when he turned 42. He says, quote, "I was there, by myself, in my bedroom, and I had a complete breakdown. And when I say breakdown, just go ahead and imagine for yourself a brother in his underwear, in his room, crying."
Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle website Goop has debts of over $1 million. The balance sheet for the website's 2013 accounts show the company's assets fell from $848,226 in 2012 to $752,210 the following year. And Goop has debts of $1,626,295 due to be paid in the coming year $1,155,330 in the previous 12-month period.
11/3/14 LiLo Dating Tom Cruise?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, November 3, 2014
This seems pretty far-fetched, but "OK!" magazine claims TOM CRUISE is having relations with LINDSAY LOHAN. They're both in London, and they supposedly exchanged numbers after meeting at a club. A source says, quote, "Lindsay has been craving the security and sophistication that comes with dating an older man . . . She's head over heels." In addition to physical, Lindsay also hopes hooking up with Tom will revitalize her career. And Tom hopes Lindsay will, quote, "help him relax and have more fun." Meanwhile, the British tabloids say Tom is actually making time with ORLANDO BLOOM's ex-girlfriend MIRANDA KERR. A source says they've been meeting up secretly and will go public soon.
This totally sounds like a hoax story for Halloween, but a British singer named KATIE MELUA recently went to the doctor because of a scratching noise in her head . . . and found she had a SPIDER living in her ear. It was a jumping spider, and it had been in there for a WEEK. They think it might have crawled in off a pair of headphones she used on a flight . . . an ear specialist used a suction device to get it out.
10/31/14 Amanda Bynes Released
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, October 31, 2014
Don't be fooled this Halloween if you see somebody dressed as "Amanda Bynes." It may be the real deal. Last night, Amanda was released from the psychiatric facility near Los Angeles. It took her no time to reach the heart of Hollywood. The paparazzi snapped photos of Amanda walking Sunset Boulevard, acting as if she was on the phone. TMZ reports she was "talking to herself." A witness reported she was famished and devoured "fried chicken, salmon, and a caesar salad with guacamole." Earlier in the day, Amanda requested a release from her "involuntary psychiatric hold." And an unnamed official determined that Amanda has stabilized under professional care and regular meds.
Nobody will admit that BRUCE JENNER is on the way to becoming a woman . . . but the evidence is mounting that at the very least, he's been exploring his feminine side. And that's fine. Although maybe not for everyone. . . Friends say KRIS JENNER is EMBARRASSED by the whole thing, and that's why she didn't join her five daughters in celebrating Bruce's 65th birthday earlier this week. A source says, quote, "Kris was very upset that Bruce was photographed on his birthday wearing pink nail polish. It's embarrassing for her. That is the reason why Kris wasn't there."
KIM KARDASHIAN may have accidentally announced that she's pregnant again. During an interview with a British fashion blog, she was asked what kind of clothes she wore when she was pregnant with her daughter North. She said, quote, "I wore my regular clothes and I would just buy a size up. I don't know if I would necessarily do that this time around . . . Pregnancy style is hard."
KALEY CUOCO has learned something after being caught up in that nude photo hacking scandal: Downgrade your technology. She joked, quote, "I've now taken to Polaroid cameras, so I just carry a big Polaroid around my neck, self-aroid, that's what I do now. No one can get those. Polaroid cameras, that's the way to go."

An Arctic blast continues to grip the U.S. Midwest and Northeast, with at least three deaths linked to the frigid weather, and fierce winds made some locations feel as cold as minus 46 degrees Celsius.

What would you say if I told you all of the horses in the photo below were painted with dry pigments. No, I don't mean add a medium to turn the dry pigment into oil or acrylic paint. I mean honest to goodness application of dry pigments. If you want to learn how to paint with dry pigments, read on.
awesome write up Kat! Great Work.
Insipirational writeup. I just used pigments for effects until now, but I will try them for paintwork now…
Great tutorial! Thank you very much!!
Fantastic! Are there any books on this subject that you can recommend?
I really like the look of this and I'd love for the author to separate the various pigments and pastels that they've tried into what is really needed to have a decent crack at the technique pile versus the 'unnecessary' but certainly nice if you've got them pile.
Hey gang! So sorry I've been away for so long. I had a job I was working major overtime at and it left me absolutely zero time! But it's done and I'm back now.
Gobbo – my apologies, the only book I've seen on the subject is by Jaime Baker. Unfortunately the book is out of print. She does have a DVD series she's been working on where she shows the application of pastels and pigments on model horses. These DVD's concentrate on realistic horse colors so I'm not sure how much you'll get out of them. Of course if you have a cavalry to paint, the DVD's will be fantastic.
Paradoxrifts – again my apologies in the delay answering your question. I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you looking for specific colors? If that is the case, it completely depends on what you're painting. To start, you can go to a local art store and buy a box of assorted quality pastels- at least 12, 24 is best. Those generally have enough colors to give you enough to work with and you can experiment to see if you would like to invest. If you are in the US, Earth Pigment jars are generally a couple of bucks and you get a lot for the money.
For natural colors (remember I started painting horses) with pigments I started with light sienna, dark sienna, yellow ocher, dark yellow ocher, brown ocher, brown 610 (it lays down with a lot of red undertone but is dense and helps if you have grain pop up) burnt sienna and burnt umber. I also had black 318 and Titanium White. Earth Pigments are adding more colors all the time so now you can get a variety of blues, reds and greens – even a purple or two. You can also mix these colors in separate containers to give yourself an even greater variety. (Be sure to make notes of your mixes so you can replicate the color – I always use old measuring spoons.) I hope that helps!
Thank you for this valuable info. I live in Europe, do you know the name of the Earth Pigment product here? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your article! i used your technics and advice to create a spectacular aged metal affect on a soldier mini's armor and sword, then created a subtle bronze metal ring on his shield. I used Reaper's True Silver paint mixed with Pearl Ex's Antique Silver on a black primer. Then I used the Ultra Bronze gently brushed and rubbed in with my finger.
I really appreciate you putting so much effort in this post. I have been painting figures for years but somehow I had never come across this system. Your explanation was one of the best "How to" I've seen. And you even use english correctly (no "your" for "you're", etc.) ! ! !
A really interesting tutorial, thank you for your hard work in producing it, you mention a European (French ? ) outlet for the Earth pigments, were you able to find the link?
Many thanks for the fantastic article!
I have been playing around with pigments and found this page, much to my delight
I have a question though, or rather a need for some advice. I used pigment to highlight a model and then used a pigment fixer but instead of fixing it, the highlight vanished. I then did the same thing but used a mat varnish in my airbrush, only for the highlight work to again vanish.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks again!
Hi Phill,
So glad you found the article helpful!
I have a feeling you're trying to cover an area that's too dark with the highlight pigment. It's typically best to build from light to dark, makes it difficult to place highlights, I know. But it can be done with a little practice.
Trying to cover dark colors with a light pigment, unless you have something uber strong like an oxide, can be done, but you'll be applying so many layers, it will drive you insane! lol!
Check out my Youtube channel for more vids on painting with pigments. Those might help you as well.
Thanks for the tip
I am going to check out your channel now!
I do like your painting and I play with all kinds of pigments. After my first goof and 2 hour cleanup I'm very careful with them. I don't argue the point that some of them can be quite toxic but the ones you seem to like (Earth Pigments) are certainly not pure pigments as you seem to think. Most are mixed with (or fixed on) a filler, usually calcium carbonate or aluminum hydrate which are white and tend to give the pigments a pastel look. In a vehicle of oil or gum they're clear. So the point here is that Earth Pigments does tend to use the safer pigments but they certainly are far from pure.
