The T5 Fat Burners And What They Do
Many people are trying to lose weight by trying out dangerous methods that are not always reliable. Some people go on crash diets which often ruin their bodies and health, while others spend a lot of time in the gym with no results. Sometimes, weight loss supplements are used by men and women who hope they will achieve their goal weight faster. While many pills are quite popular nowadays, they may also have some bad side effects.
The new T5 fat burners were designed to help with weight loss without putting your health at risk. Many other similar supplements are not safe to take, but the T5 fat burners are made with natural ingredients. The mix of powerful natural ingredients causes slow and steady weight loss, with no energy crashes. Every pill contains 800 mg of ingredients, and should be consumed with a glass of water.
The main reason why people do not lose weight is a slow metabolic rate. If your metabolism is slow, weight loss will not happen fast. The T5 fat burners boost up your metabolism and heat up your body, speeding up weight loss. The T5 fat burners work especially well on problem areas like the back or the stomach.
A crash diet may leave you feeling drained, while most of the other pills only provide an energy boost for a short while. On the other hand, these supplements will raise your energy levels so you can exercise and spend your day in a productive way.
The T5 fat burners will work better when combined with some healthy eating habits, as well as gym visits. If you used to eat salty food, you should consider cutting it out of your diet. The supplements will also reduce water retention in your body. You will first lose the water weight in the first week, then steadily the fat on your body will be significantly reduced. Your sugar consumption should also be limited in order to maximize the pills' results.
You should consider starting to eat more vegetables and fruits. Do not eat too much in the evening, especially at late hours. If you like to work out, you may notice a stamina increase once you start the supplements. Numerous men are constantly trying to build up muscle, and the pills can help you achieve this goal without too much effort.
These supplements are quite powerful and packed with healthy ingredients that boost up even the slowest metabolism. More than 1 million people all over the world tried them and were satisfied with the results. Some people hope to lose a significant amount of weight in order to become healthier, while others just want to achieve a toned body.
If you decide these pills are the right choice for you, consult with your physician before taking them. Remember to pay attention to the instructions on the package and follow them correctly. This way, you have higher chances of losing weight while keeping healthy.

Wow Apple trying to do what it did to Google with Maps and etc. *smh*
Apple rumored to be reducing Samsung order for iPhone 5 memory modules
Apple is rumored to be slashing its order with Samsung for memory chips which will form part of the new iPhone 5 and other Apple products. The news comes from a report by Reuters who have been talking with a source who has direct knowledge of the matter.
Apple has been cutting back its orders from Samsung as it seeks to diversify its memory chip supply lines, although the South Korean firm remains on the list of initial suppliers for the new iPhone, the source told Reuters. The person declined to be named because the negotiations are confidential.
The Korea Economic Daily, citing an unnamed industry source, reported on Friday that Apple had dropped Samsung from the list of memory chip suppliers for the first batch of the new iPhone, the iPhone 5, which is widely expected to be unveiled next Wednesday. The report said Apple instead picked Japan's Toshiba Corp, Elpida Memory and Korea's SK Hynix to supply DRAM and NAND chips.
"Samsung is still on the list of initial memory chip suppliers (for new iPhones). But Apple orders have been trending down and Samsung is making up for the reduced order from others, notably Samsung's handset business," the Reuters source said.
It is unclear if the reduced orders to Samsung are directly related to the poor relationship between the two companies or if it is purely down to business economics. Apple is said to be sourcing its memory modules from other manufacturers however Samsung still remains a key supplier of other parts for Apple products.
After Apple won the recent patent dispute with Samsung in the United States, it should come as no surprise that Apple would be shying away from Samsung and looking to other manufacturers. It will be interesting to see over the coming years if Apple can source all components from other manufacturers and no longer have the need to rely on Samsung to fulfil its iPhone and iPad component needs.

Apple rumored to be reducing Samsung order for iPhone 5 memory modules
Actually it doesn't make much sense at all. What does make sense is that Apple would want to diversify it's suppliers. You never want to put all your eggs in one basket.
You can bet Apple feels the same way about the iphone. I'm sure they'd like to have more revenue streams (such as an iTV) to make the iphone less critical for them and have a more diversified line of margin contributors. The ipad helps but right now, Apple goes as the iphone goes. As an apple investor, the constraints Apple has on increasing phone size are concerning. The 4" 16:9 iphone 5 I would view as a band-aid. A temporary solution. But not the long term fix that doubling the resolution again could be.
Good job Apple. That should teach Samsun do ripping their biggest customer off.
Samsung will be just fine. And it's smart on Apple's part to diversify. Given the bad blood between the two, putting all your eggs in one basket just seems like a receipt for disaster. I personally believe in self-sufficiency - and I know Apple does as well as evidenced by their control-all-aspects approach. I'd like to see the day were they produce all their own parts alleviating supplier dependency altogether.

Lemon speaks Multipart
Next to LDD and classic LDraw (.ldr) files you can compare also a LEGO® model against the different NXT sets now that is stored as a multipart model in the LDraw .mpd format.
Check out the new version 2.1.0 here and do not hesitate to provide feedback.

Two things should be noted here:
First, I noticed that the part numbers of LDraw files on Peeron (that serve as the source of information for the NXT set definitions) and the ones in the parts lists used by MLCAD and other CAD tools differ sometimes, in particular for newer parts; this will make Lemon showing differences where in fact the part is logically the same (yet, that can't be helped as long as the two sources of part numbers stated above are not completely synchronized).
Secondly, for LDD files, I haven't figured out yet how the retrieve the information about a part's color and description from lxf files (or whether that is possible at all). Hence, for LDD files, that information is not shown in the model table of Lemon. This is not critical in regard to comparison with a NXT set, as part colors and descriptions are not regarded here anyway.

ca patron icon request...ideas?
I would like to have an icon for those peeps who show support of what we are all doing around here that could go in the user profiles as a show of thanks. I was wondering if you all have any thoughts or suggestions. The best smilies came from ca members and I was wondering if u all thought this was a good idea...or had ideas.
1. donated!
2. downloads!
3. workshop!
4. all downloads! (Francisco...Benzo...I know there are others too!)
5. workshop/download
6. paintover master!
7. crits - the eye icon is occasionally given for this.
8. workshop/download/donated
9. I got a job by participating in CA! (there are ton of these peeps!)
10. what else?
Kind of one way to think of it is like achievements for xbox live...except not for wasting time but education, improvement, sharing, and success.
I dunno...sometimes little things matter...and are a good way of showing thanks.

Problem would be that you'd have some people a giant list of sometimes matching icons.
Instead, maybe use this system. If a person does one of these things, they get a certain number of points and then you get a corresponding single icon according to what points you have. If you then click on the icon, it shows a list of accomplishments.
So one could go from a black star or other base value all the way up to a gold star with a nickname/name matching the color of the star to put further emphasis on the importance of that member without cluttering up the forum's personal information sections.
July 19th, 2009 #4
hehe I second what Hyskoa mentioned there...ahem. I think having a sort of 'medal case' roll down menu might work best for it combined with an icon thingy, otherwise threads will start to resemble christmastrees very quickly
More practical, there is only limited space for characters in ones users' subtitle, something we found out when trying to put in the winners icons for the weekly activities. The icons of three activities fills this out, unless someone already has a written usertitle too. If I remember correctly, the eye symbol is a whole lot of html code in that line as well (it's also no longer being given out I think).
Anyway, some ideas for it...uhm..
- Something to show whether you're working in a studio/full time job - freelancer - student? A for-hire sign?
- Something related to the amount of Thanked posts?

Or maybe this structure, 3 symbols,
1) All your accomplishments, maybe a star with a number on it or so to indicate amount of accomplishments and when clicked on, points you towards a page with all the accomplishments in a list (this way you save some bandwidth on not having to load every icon on every page.)
2) Donor status (when you hover over the symbol it shows how much was donated or how often, or if you want to preserve a bit of privacy, add in the black to gold star/dollarsign system here).
3) Current status of the user (Seeking work, employed, freelance, student, ...)
That way, you'll never have more than 3 symbols.
July 19th, 2009 #6
I second an "employment status" icon, making it easier for potential employers to check if that person is available for inhouse/freelance/whatever.
I'm a believer in having to earn achievements. Getting recognition for spending power isn't something i particularly care about. After a little spree yesterday i have most of the downloads, but i don't feel like i should be recognized for that. I like the idea of recognizing teachers, aka people who are helpful and share their knowledge, like the eye icon these days. I also like the idea of recognizing thanked posts, but it seems sort of redundant since there's a counter to the right clearly stating how many times you've been thanked. Workshop attendance could warrant some badge, since it takes more than just spending power to go. a prague fairy, amsterdam joint or austin cowboy hat.. Or maybe a SF tenderloin? haha.
The argument against clutter makes sense to me, having a rolldown or something would be great.
Bottom line, i think achievements should be earned, so buying, postwhoring and such doesn't necessarily warrant any stars in my book. Being helpful and nice, and actually make an effort for the community earns most respect in my book.

I can see where you are coming from with this, but I have to ask, will it really make the community a better place? There are people who dedicate time and effort to communities like this and who do make them a better place and they do deserve some recognition for it, but I think stuff like that usually works itself out. It tends to be fairly easy to make out who these people are in a place like this, even without a badge that says "I'm a good guy", isn't that even more of a merit?

How about challenge winners (weeklies and site-sponsored contests) get a little badge? The weekly winners could get a little trophy icon and you could have a couple tiers of challenge participation badges (honorable mention type things).
At 10 weekly challenges they could get a light grey fist or something (some symbol of contest or contention) and then get darker symbols at 20, darker at 30, and black at 40.
The weekly winners' trophies could have a number on them for how many times they've won, or it could be a badge that gets some kind of cluster or bough added to it every time they win an additional challenge (I think that's how the Congressional Medal of Honor works here in the states, always thought it was a cool visual reward system).
The site-sponsored contest winners should get a plain black rooster. Yes?!
Anyhow, do you have a tentative size you're looking for or will that change in a big way depending on the system you decide to go with?
July 19th, 2009 #9
Crass: Would it be a bad thing to add? I mean, I wouldn't mind having to go in and fix those badges for people who earned it tbh, as it is much more fun work than banning spambots Also, it simply makes those people who deserve to stand out more.
Ninjerk: Uhm, you might want to check my usertitle (and those of many others, at that)...the winners icons for COW have been around for ages, and recently all the other activities got one too

I like the "thanks" system, and I think it is something that could be built upon to distinguish people who make many quality posts and people who do not, that way the users decide who gets recognized and who doesn't based upon how they actually act.
July 19th, 2009 #11
Maybe not a medal. But I would like to see wich vids I actually bought and wich not. Without going through all my old email. Just a quick thought
Nice idea btw

Why Isn't Sheree Whitfield Getting Child Support? Court Documents Reveal the Truth!
Ever since the whole child support drama with Sheree Whitfield and her ex-husband Bob began, we knew something wasn't quite right.
How could a successful pro-football player be broke and refuse to support his children? Why was Sheree so reluctant to put his sleazy ass in jail, even after her lawyer Phaedra Parks told her last season that was the best option?
Well, according to Straight From the A, Sheree has pulled a few shady moves of her own. When the couple divorced in 2007, they were ordered to sell their house and split the proceeds. Bob was also ordered to pay Sheree $425,000 in additional cash.
Bob was supposed to pay Sheree $25,000 upfront, and pay her the remaining $400,000 after the couple sold their house and he got his share of the money. However, Sheree asked Bob to pay her $400,000 upfront so she could buy a new home for herself and the couple's two children, and Bob agreed.
Now this is where things get sketchy. After getting the 400k from Bob, Sheree refused to move out of or pay the mortgage on the house they were supposed to sell together, and when the bank later foreclosed on the house, Bob was out 400k.
According to court documents, Sheree was admonished for her actions and has reportedly been reluctant to sue Bob for child support because she fears he will counter-sue for the $400, 000.
However, a judge recently ruled that Bob needs to start paying Sheree child support, so hopefully that'll help her out a bit!

Ever encounter issues or long wait times while going through the checkpoint at LA/Ontario International Airport?
(I've been meaning to get to this item since last week but it's been a little busy.)
Jim Bowman, at last week's Ontario International Airport Authority, brought up an issue he recently noticed while traveling through the airport – a long line that had formed to go through the first checkpoint.
"I noticed a rather extraordinary long line of what should have been manned by someone, instead there was an abandoned TSA station," he said.
Bowman said there was nobody there to process travelers.
This might be something that the new Federal Security director at ONT, Martin Elam, may handle or want to address in the future.
But that's not all. Bowman, a longtime Ontario Councilman, said he was disappointed in the airport's appearance.
"Service is everything, appearance is everything and the outside of the airport looks atrocious," he said.
According to Bowman the grass near Terminal 4 has grown a nearly a foot tall.
"These are situations that a good partner doesn't make with an asset of such value," he said. "This exudes the reasons that L.A. is so far away and just doesn't care about Ontario."
ONT is managed by Los Angeles World Airports.
Have you ever encountered similar issues? Let me know.

Face and Shoulder from an Anthropoid Sarcophagus
The rough, coarse surface of the original material revealed in the damage on this fragment stands in contrast to the magnificence of the highly polished basalt. In the later periods of Egyptian history, artists and their patrons preferred a shiny finish for stone statues and sarcophagi. The delicate shape of the face, the outlined eyes with slightly upturned eyebrows, the high cheekbones, and the full, smiling lips are characteristic of the Ptolemaic Period.
- Medium: Black basalt
- Possible Place Collected: Giza, Egypt
- Dates: 332-30 B.C.E.
- Dynasty: XXVI Dynasty or later
- Period: Ptolemaic Period
- Dimensions: 18 1/8 x 21 1/4 x 4 3/4 in. (46 x 54 x 12 cm) (show scale)

The eyeballs are slightly bulging, and the lower lid first dips then rises towards the outer edge of the eye. The nose is broad, and the filtrum is well indicated. The mouth smiles with the corners of the mouth being slightly drawn up. The lips are large, and there is a deep indentation at each corner of the mouth. There are no furrows in the face. Part of rear surface, in the area of the neck, show the original polished surface; the rest of the rear surface is rough. Condition: The nose and eyelids are chipped; top of the head missing.

UK-based Vulcan Software has announced that it's working on Hybrid, a futuristic first-person shooter in which players will assume the role of Lieutenant Marek Hale of the resource and cargo ship Navasota. At the end of a six-month voyage to a mining facility on one of Neptune's moons, Hale awakes to the sound of ship alarms, explosions, and screaming. The Navasota, it seems, has been intercepted by an alien vessel of unknown origin, and its self destruct sequence has been initiated.
"We are very excited about the development of Hybrid," said Vulcan director Paul Carrington. "Having invested heavily in our own 3D technology, we are anxious to show the world a new breed of FPS, in which stunning 3D visuals provide more than a mere backdrop to the gameplay by offering extensive interactive possibilities. There will be countless ways to kill, evade, or fool the enemy characters, who possess AI systems that allow them to use the interactivity of the environments to their own advantage."
Players will have to single-handedly take on the alien hybrid race, and as they progress through the game, they'll take in a number of different locales, ranging from the interior of the Navasota to the surface of the Neptunian moon Nereid. No release date or publisher has been announced for Hybrid at this time, but for more information, you might like to check out the official Vulcan Software Web site.

"Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement." --Winston Churchill
I'm a prospective double major in Political Science (concentration in International Relations) and Russian.

About Anna Newell Jones
I love sweets, I have an identical twin sister, and I would go camping all the time if I could. You'll never see me turning down breakfast burritos, a Breaking Bad marathon, or a chance to make our baby son, Henry, laugh his head off. Photography came into my life when I was in middle school, after my sister's and I hijacked my dad's old 35mm camera for an impromptu, and very sassy, photo shoot. I loved seeing how the photographs turned out, and I was instantly in awe of the camera, and the entire photographic process. I've been shooting professionally since 2000, and my amazement with photography continues. I feel super lucky that we're able to photograph the biggest moments in people's lives. The full impact of what we are able to do hits me when I think about how our photographs will get passed down from generation to generation. I love shooting wedding's, in particular, because of all the love and excitement that happens throughout the day. My favorite wedding moments: all the girls getting ready together before the ceremony, when the groom gets to see the bride for the first time, and the toasts (somehow I always ending up crying during them). It really is such an honor to be invited into lives.
About Aaron Jones
Hello. I'm Aaron. I make up the "Jones" half of Newell Jones + Jones Photography. Here is a 30 second run-down about me: I dig American history (especially the Revolutionary War), I prefer non-fiction over fiction, ice cream to frozen yogurt, and movies over television. I usually have some sort of facial hair, but lately I've been going the clean-shaven route which has, so far, drawn mixed reviews. I've been told, mainly by my mom, that I'm funny, and I've also been told that I pronounce words in unusual ways. I will try to befriend every neighborhood cat I meet, and usually it works. Besides all that stuff, I take pictures. A lot of pictures. During the day I work at a commercial photo studio (I'm a photo stylist), and we shoot weddings, engagements, families, and other fun stuff as often as we can. When I'm not working in the studio or shooting with Anna, I spend my time shooting my personal work. I'm basically around photography in some form or another 24/7. I never get tired of it. I never will. Thanks for stopping by! We can't wait to talk with you soon!

LILBURN - After swearing in new councilmember Eddie Price and returning council member Diana Preston, the Lilburn City Council discussed two zoning issues Monday.The council tabled the first request to allow property owners more time to work with their neighbors. The request was to rezone a property on Dogwood Drive from residential to commercial zoning to allow a book publishing company to operate. "When parcels like this are adjacent to residential property, they must have a buffer between the commercial property and the residential property," City Planner Kevin McOmber. "When you put that buffer in place on this property, there is no room for a building." Property owners Lynne Baker and Mary Ogenaarekhua presented a letter from neighboring property owners stating they would also be seeking commercial rezoning in the near future. If all the properties are commercially zoned, there is no need for a buffer. By tabling the request, Baker and Ogenaarekhua will have the opportunity to get neighboring property owners to apply for rezoning at the same time and avoid the buffer requirements. The second zoning issue was for a special-use permit to allow landscaping company Kart Enterprises Inc. to store vehicles outside its storage suite on U.S. Highway 29. The council approved the request with the condition the vehicles only be parked in the back corner of the lot and an opaque fence be built to shield the vehicles from sight. More sidewalks The council also went forward with a construction contract for $472,727 to install sidewalks as a part of the City's Connecting Sidewalk Project. The council approved the contract with Lewallen Construction Inc. to begin work on the sidewalks along Indian Trial and Arcado Road. "We received several bids for the project," Council member Ken Swaim said. "This was the best one and we checked with Georgia DOT to make sure (Lewallen) had a good reputation." In other business, the Lilburn City Council:•Approved a liquor license for Las Chelas Mexican Restaurant on Indian Trail Road.•Voted to table a decision on changes to the alcohol ordinance until the next meeting.•Approved a request from the Girl Scouts to use Lilburn City Park for their annual day camp. This will be the 25th year the Girl Scouts will use the park.

Jacques von Hämsterviel

Getting what he wants

The color red
Not getting what he wants
Being defeated
Gantu failing him
Being mistaken for a gerbil or rabbit
Being called a gerbil or rabbit

The color blue
Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel emerges as the main villain of the Lilo & Stitch franchise. He is the former partner of Jumba Jookiba, who later becomes one of his enemies.
Hämsterviel seems to have a bit of a Napoleon-complex, as despite his short stature, he has a large, imposing character and wants nothing less than total galactic domination.
He is cunning, diabolical, and very abusive to his henchman, Gantu, whom he frequently assaults with a plethora of poorly-sarcastic insults, albeit demeaning. He doesn't care about his minions so long as they serve him competently. However, despite Gantu's loyalty, as well as helping him escape jail in Leroy & Stitch, he promptly fired Gantu after Hämsterviel's objectives had been achieved, saying that since he had Leroy, he didn't need Gantu.
Hämsterviel also hates his old business partner, Jumba, as well as Stitch, Lilo, Pleakley, and later Yuna. His schemes have sometimes been directed at them, either to enslave them or even kill them. Originally, he schemed to take the 625 experiments Jumba created before Stitch and use them in his bid to conquer the galaxy, viewing the experiments as his own property because he financed their creation using his shady business deals.
Hämsterviel is a diminutive albino alien scientist who desires to conquer the galaxy. He has a rodent-like appearance with white fur, red eyes, a rabbit-like lower body, rabbit-like ears, and wears a red cape with a golden H on the front.
Because Dr. Hämsterviel was imprisoned, he wears a prison jumpsuit covered in horizontal dark and light blue stripes. The former lab partner of Dr. Jumba Jookiba, he now seeks to capture the genetic experiments he helped to create through financing, with the help of the retired Captain Gantu, before Lilo and Stitch. The few times Gantu is able to capture an experiment are coupled with comedic moments, usually at the expense of Hämsterviel.
Much to Hämsterviel's chagrin, a vast majority of the universe mispronounces his name, usually as Hamsterwheel or Hamsterveal, but on some occasions other variations have been used, such as Gerbilviel. He is also often mistaken for a gerbil, despite his insistence that he is hamster-like (though due to his long ears, buck teeth and nose, he looks more like a rabbit).
Hämsterviel usually works from his "prison cell" which he has set up to be a laboratory, complete with communication and teleportation systems, and can be revealed or hidden using an encrypted voice code. During one furlough from prison, he came to Earth and, disguised as a human, tried to trick aliens into working for him. He managed to fool Stitch and nearly reverted him to his evil destructive programming. Many times, Hämsterviel has been personally affected by some of the experiments. On one occasion, he suffered amnesia and Gantu mocked him by making up embarrassing lies to fill in the blanks. Another time, he was pecked by a love-inducing experiment that caused him to fall in love with Gantu, although he still insulted him like he would on a regular basis.
In Leroy & Stitch, he was broken out of his cell by Gantu. He then used Gantu to force Jumba to create a red version of Stitch named Leroy. Hämsterviel and his new minion Leroy and his clone army then overthrew the Galactic Council. In the end, Hämsterviel and his Leroy army were defeated and taken back to Prison Asteroid K-37, where they were all put in individual prison cells.
- Hämsterviel's design is likely to have been inspired by Dr. Habbitrale, a villain from the video game Disney's Stitch: Experiment 626. Within the Lilo & Stitch universe, it is likely that they are the same species.
- In the first film, a Hämsterviel look-alike can be seen in one of the prison cells on Asteroid K-37.
- Hämsterviel is an expert laser-sword duelist.
- Hämsterviel's phone number is: 555-019-829-3434-533-65-5882.
- His prison in Xenon Sector: Prison Asteroid K-37 is Cell 750.
- Hämsterviel is a play on the term "hamster wheel", an exercise decoration commonly placed inside most hamster enclosures.
- It is unknown if Hämsterviel's accent is supposed to be either French or German, since "Jacques" is obviously French (the equivalent of "John"), and "Hämsterviel" is clearly German-sounding with an accent over the "a" in his last name.
- Regardless, whenever Hämsterviel speaks, he uses ambiguous language.
- Despite the word "hamster" in his name, Hämsterviel actually looks more like a rabbit than an actual hamster. This ironically reinforces the fact that he actually hates being called a gerbil.
- He also resembles a rabbit with albinism due to his almost complete lack of pigmentation in his fur and red eyes, though it is unknown if he suffers from the disease himself.
- Hämsterviel appears in the online game Lilo & Stitch: Alien Interception along with Plasmoid, Tank, Dupe, Clyde and Yang.

Look for the Stories Around You
For me, it all just seems to go together: words and images; advertising and photography; stories and pictures. Someone put a camera in my right hand and a plane ticket in my left and there was just no stopping me.
For a long time, all I wanted to be was a nomad and capture the images of faraway people and places.
But now I know I don't have to go too far to capture a moment or a memory. An image snapped in a brief moment during a weekend trip to the lake says a thousand things. To me it speaks of summer and loyalty and laughter and freedom and of fun. It says open up your eyes because stories are all around us. We just have to remember to look for them.
And to listen.

A sphere (from Greek σφαῖρα — sphaira, "globe, ball") is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space that forms the surface of a completely round ball. Analogous to a circle in two dimensions, a sphere is defined mathematically as the set of points that are all the same distance r from a given point in three-dimensional space. This distance r is the radius of the sphere, and the given point is the center of the sphere. The maximum straight distance through the sphere passes through the center and is thus twice the radius; it is the diameter.
In mathematics, a distinction is made between the sphere (a two-dimensional closed surface embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space) and the ball (a three-dimensional shape that includes the interior of a sphere).

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Jed appears while Chuck is administering Zombrex to Katey, between the hours of 7 and 8 pm. He is the only psychopath encountered in Case Zero and is not optional. He appears to be excited by the prospect of Chuck's young daughter, eager to add her to what he refers to as "his collection", implying that he has claimed numerous victims. He expresses a fondness for killing zombies but also suggests that he enjoys killing humans (before and during the outbreak) - "Zombies are good huntin son, kinda like shootin people but without all the legal hassle" sic. When he gleefully threatens Katey, Chuck is forced to battle him to the death.During the fight with Jed taking place in the junkyard, Jed will either fire at the player from range, attempt to impale chuck with his pitchfork, holding him up and firing at him before throwing him, or burn Chuck's face with a blowtorch and kick him over. Jed will derisively refer to Chuck as a "zombie lover" (due to the fact that Katey is infected and Chuck is attempting to keep her alive) during the fight as well as shouting "come out little 'un" (sic). His weapons include the aforementioned blowtorch, attached to a fuel tank on his back, which is strapped to his chest using what appears to be a seat belt. His main weapon is the "boomstick", a shotgun which has been duct taped to the shaft of a pitchfork to create a bayonet-like implement. The combo card for this weapon is unlocked as a reward for defeating him, as well as the "Chop Shop" achievement. His self-made weapons suggest that, like Chuck, Jed is also a handyman of sorts and that despite his dimwitted demeanor he has at least some engineering capability.Upon being defeated, he berates Chuck in a cutscene, assuring him that he cannot protect Katey forever. He is then crushed by a falling car. Jed's theme is a remixed version of the song "The best it's gonna get" by the band Celldweller.

I think Donaire really did start out with the right attitude and approach to boxing — fight the best and earn your way to the top and to glory. However, through bad career decisions he got himself stuck with a promoter that is making him conform to its business model rather than his own plans. He is learning that Top Rank doesn't build you up by fighting the best, it builds you up by matching you with weaker fighters to make you look good (older, smaller, lighter, catchweights, or whatever). And with that business model comes a lot of criticism. Golden Boy takes a page from Top Rank's book of matchmaking as well, although they seem to take a little more risk with their fighters and generally give us more upsets, which are good! I never would've thought they'd put Khan and their latest "it" boy Garcia together, and look what happened? Top Rank wouldn't do something like that.Posted October 10, 2012 9:03 pm

this guy's another con merchant but no-one sees it, able to boil down and fight smaller guys regularly like Chavez jr, he should be at least super-feather weight.Posted October 5, 2012 2:33 am
You're right, Peej. Donaire's KO of Vic Darchinyan was a work of art. Perfect timing, perfect delivery of the punch. That was a left hand that Darchinyan will never forget. I won't either, BTW. Helluva KO!Posted October 4, 2012 11:35 pm
I do give him credit for the Vic and Montiel KOs though. Those where KO's of the year most definitely and they where the best in that division at the time. He isn't doing that anymore thoughPosted October 4, 2012 6:36 pm
Its easy to have power when your knocking out smaller fighters and not fighting the best in the divisionPosted October 4, 2012 6:35 pm

Kingslayer, Donaire has faced some of the best in every division he has fought in, but you're right, he's not fighting the best right now. Although Mathebula gave a good account of himself–he may have lost to Donaire, but he gave Nonito a good walloping in the meantime. I thought Donaire took a lot of punishment in that fight. Oh sure, he finally tagged Mathebula good, but Mathebula beat him up too–he just didn't win the fight. But yeah, let's see Donaire fight the opponents that really count.Posted October 4, 2012 9:47 am

Chevrolet Cruze Eco achieves EPA-rated 42 mpg on highway (updated table)
11 November 2010
The non-hybrid 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Eco delivers an EPA-estimated 42 mpg on the highway (manual transmission models), with city fuel economy of 28 mpg. Cruze Eco's highway fuel economy beats non-hybrid segment competitors—including 23% greater highway fuel economy than the Honda Civic—as well as the Ford Fiesta subcompact and hybrid models, including the Ford Fusion Hybrid, Nissan Altima Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Cruze Eco carries an MSRP of US$18,895 (including destination charge). It goes on sale in January.
Cruze's engineers focused on aerodynamic performance (with some improvements derivative of GM's work with the Volt), mass optimization and powertrain enhancements.
We left no stone unturned or piece of sheet metal un-weighed. Our engineers were comprehensive and thorough when it came to evaluating and modifying the aspects of the car's performance that contribute to fuel economy.—Chuck Russell, vehicle line director
Aerodynamics. Aerodynamic improvements over non-Eco manual-transmission models contributed approximately six mpg to the Cruze's EPA-estimated 42 mpg highway fuel economy. Many were developed and refined in more than 500 hours of wind-tunnel testing of the Chevy Volt, which shares a core architecture with the Cruze. Examples include the upper grille, which has more "closeouts" to improve aerodynamics, a lower front air dam extension, a rear spoiler, a lowered ride height and underbody panels that smooth airflow beneath the car.
The Eco model also features an all-new technology in the compact segment: a lower front grille air shutter that closes at higher speeds to reduce aerodynamic drag and opens at lower speeds to optimize engine-cooling airflow. Another contributor to reduced drag is the use of ultra-low rolling resistance 17-inch Goodyear tires (used with lightweight wheels), which are also used on the Volt.
As a result of the aero enhancements, aerodynamic drag was reduced by 10% over a non-Eco model, with a coefficient of drag of 0.298. That places Cruze at the top of the class for mainstream compact cars, according to GM.
Mass optimization. More than 42 changes were made on the Eco to reduce weight. It weighs in at 3,009 pounds (1,365 kg), compared to the 3,223 pounds (1,462 kg) of the Cruze 1LT. Cruze engineers looked at all aspects of the vehicle's construction, including hundreds of weld flanges on the vehicle. They were reduced 1 mm to 2 mm in length, which saved several pounds, while the sheet metal gauge thickness was reduced by about 0.1 mm in select components. This saved weight while preserving structural integrity.
Lighter wheels and tires are used on the Eco. They're 17-inch alloy units with Goodyear tires that weigh 36.5 pounds (16.6 kg) apiece—5.3 pounds (2.4 kg) less than the 16-inch wheel/tires of the Cruze 1LT for a complete savings to the vehicle of 21.2 pounds (9.6 kg).
Efficient powertrain. Cruze Eco is powered by the power-dense Ecotec 1.4L turbocharged engine and a standard six-speed manual transmission. The transmission's gearing is optimized for the model's specific 17-inch wheel/tire combination and includes aggressive ratios for first and second gear coupled with a highly efficient, "taller" sixth-gear ratio for highway driving. That means engine rpm is reduced on the highway, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. A six-speed automatic transmission is available, with EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 26 city and 37 highway.
The Ecotec 1.4L turbo's power ratings are 138 horsepower (103 kW) and 148 lb-ft of torque (200 N·m) between 1,850 rpm and 4,900 rpm. The wide rpm range for the maximum torque—a specific trait of turbocharged engines—helps the engine deliver a better driving experience and performance. The turbocharger is integrated within the exhaust manifold, for reduced weight and greater packaging flexibility.
The engine also features premium design elements that give it smoothness and durability while also contributing to the Cruze Eco's lower curb weight. They include a cast iron block with a hollow frame structure, hollow-cast camshafts and a plastic intake manifold.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Chevrolet Cruze Eco achieves EPA-rated 42 mpg on highway (updated table):
Looks to be a good accomplishment without the complications of the hybrid especially when compared to the mileage of Toyota Camry. I have not driven one yet (hope to correct that soon) but if it is anything similar to the experience that I had driving a newer Chevy Malibu, it is probably a nice car to drive.
However, I am sure that the GM bashers will find much to critize so let the bashing begin.
Only 20 mpg worse than the Honda diesel (still banned from the US by Obama/Reid/Pelosi) and 10 mpg worse than my 30 year old diesel VW Rabbit pickup. Progress?!?! Please...
The Ford Fusion HEV and specially the Prius III HEV does a low better but they do cost more. The new larger 2011 4 cyls Sonata can match it and does not cost much more.
The average 35 mpg is good for 3100 lb, yet a 3200 lb Sonata has a large, not small, car rating - though 5 mpg less.
Come on people, this car is very impressive. There is nothing like that on the market right now among gasoline ICE cars. The Goracle says his 30 yrs old Rabbit does better by 10 mpg. What a bunch of baloney ! That's impossible. No Rabbit back then was rated that highly. Other people write about 2011 Sonata. Well yes, the Sonata is also a very impressive car with a highly impressive mileage. BUT the Sonata is rated only at 35 mpg (please check the Hyundai web site), whereas the Cruze is rated at 42 mpgs. Although it is really difficult to compare the Cruze to Sonata as Sonata is a bigger and more expensive car.
Seems like GM is moving towards the head of the pack of the leaders if it comes to gas efficiency. They have the Equinox (an absolute leader among SUVs), now they have the Cruze. They also seem very well positioned in the market if it comes to the dissemination of the DI technology which is bringing all of these awesome results.
I think GM bashing ought to stop. The company made mistakes in the past, but is doing its absolute best to go past it and towards a very strong future. And let's do not forget, a part of the GM problems was not even the company itself but the unrealistic demands and expectations of the unions.
Hey Goracle:
In January, when Honda still hasn't figured out how to get its Diesel here and our laws are exactly the same are you going to blame just Obama and Reid or Boehner too?
Mercedes and VW both have 50 state legal passenger cars available in the US. Honda could too, if it wanted to.
In my entire lifetime, Diesels have never been popular in the US, regardless of who controlled the House, Senate or White House and regardless of our emissions laws. Stop blaming the current administration for something that's been going on for 30+ years.
Impressive numbers for 6-sp turbo-charged manual, which will probably be selected by less than 10% buyers in US.
It's not clear if competitors were equipped with manual or automatic, I'd say with automatic so the Cruze numbers look better.
Interesting that Honda and Toyota do not use turbo charged engines in their best selling models (Civic,Accord, Corolla, Camry) in the US , and they apparently don't plan to use them in near future.
Probable reason is that the use of turbos would damage their stellar reliability record, their key selling point.
I hear from some mechanics that turbos are usually supposed to last 100 k miles, and used cars with turbos are best avoided. Replacement is expensive, and sometimes involves a lot of labour.
I read once saying from a car executive: "The price of used car determines the price of new car".
There are plenty of reasons besides government that make it hard to import diesels into the US. For example, over here we have much tighter emissions standards for diesels, 0.07 grams per mile of NO2 versus 0.29 in europe. For this reason the entire emissions system would have to be reworked on european cars, which often leads to a reduction in efficiency.
See Here: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/alternative-fuel/diesel/4330313
The 2011 Sonata is an amazing buy. How they get that mileage with that horsepower I do not know. It is bigger and roomier, so they seem to know what U.S. buyers want.
The 2012 Focus is also expected to get 40mpg on the highway.
MG - from briefly viewing a few of the listed cars it appears as if they compared the Cruze against the competitors with manual transmissions.
Actually the Goracle is right about his Rabbit. With the 1.5L diesel the '80 Rabbit was rated at 45 mpg city/ 57 mpg highway.
However, the Rabbit was a much smaller car, 2006 lb to the Cruze Eco's 3006 lb, you shouldn't compare the two.
To be truthfull; there was some variation in the weight of the Rabbit, some models were as heavy as 2,445 lb.
But they still had less weight, height, width and length than the Cruze.
ai vin
Second that. My old 1997 Audi A6 2.5TDi (5cyl 140bhp)gets up to 50mpUSg highway (60mpUKg), and that's by doing long motorway journeys at 70mph, in 6th gear.
For your information:
Cruze 2011: 138 hp, City 28 mpg, Highway 42 mpg
Sonata 2011: 198 hp, City 32 mpg, Highway 49 mpg
On top of that, the Sonata is a mid-Large car and the Cruze is a compact.
The Cruze 2011 fuel consumption is nothing to write home about while the Sonata's 2011 is a real accomplishment.
GM still has a very long way to go.
and what's with comparing the Cruze (a compact car) to mid size cars (hybrid or otherwise)? It's crap like that that will continue to turn me off to GM.
Harvey, where did you get those numbers? Did you just make them up? I just went to fueleconomy.gov and they list three Sonatas at 22/33, 22/35 and 24/35. Plus there is a big Sonata billboard near my house that says "200hp, 35mpg, under $20K". Even Hyundai doesn't claim the Sonata gets 49mpg. There is nothing out there, in the US or elsewhere that is the size of a Sonata, and is not hybrid or Diesel, that gets that kind of mileage.
Peter... I must have been on a Canadian or British site and I forgot that USA had downsized the gallon to 80% of the original (from 160 oz. to 128 oz.) .
Your combined fuel economy of 35 mpg (US) or 43.75 mpg makes sense.
The corrected fuel economy should read City 32 mpg (24 mpg US), Highway 49 mpg (39.2 mpg US)
It is still very good for a 200 hp mid-large car.
2011 Hyundai Sonata
GLS Manual
198 HP 24 / 35 mpg
Where did you get the fuel economy numbers for the 1980 diesel rabbit? You can't do an EPA comparison of it to the Cruze unless you are using the revised EPA standard from 2007 (or 2008?). The earliest listing I saw for a VW Rabbit Diesel is 35mpg city / 43mpg highway for the 1.6L.
This is besting the Cruze while getting very poor or 1/2 star ratings on modern crash & rollover tests through the NHTSA and IIHS. Additionally, it would put out more pollution than 100 Chevy Cruze vehicles.
HarveyD and all others who are trying to compare fuel economy figures from other countries - the numbers don't compare.
If you want to check against EPA figures, use EPA figures. Otherwise I could easily trump your numbers by using the Japanese 10-15 cycle results for the Cruze. Heck, the Malibu's numbers on the Japanese 10-15 cycle would likely beat the Sonata numbers you posted.
The general lack of acceptance of Diesels in the US flows from what GM did in the late 70's, early 80's.
They converted a gasoline (design) engine to a Diesel without beefing up the connecting rods and bearings. They often totally destroyed themselves on trips at high speeds.
Word got around and bias against Diesels swept the country.
I would like to see GM add idle-stop to this package and get the city mpg over 30.
The Cruze EV will be out in 2012, then stopping the engine at a light will not be an issue. It is suppose to have 31kWh worth of batteries and have a 150 kW motor, it should go like a rocket.
You are of course quite right Patrick, it is unfair to compare apples to oranges. Which is what I was trying to point out with noting the size difference. I knew that an old rabbit would lack the pollution controls we now have and would put out more pollution but was trying to keep my post short. And I believe the milage numbers come from the old testing cycle. As I stated that's what they was rated at, in the real world you wouldn't get 57 mpg highway. Most people I've talked to only get 45 MPG highway but one guy did get 60 while using dangerous hypermiling techniques like drafting trucks.
EPA numbers have been revised downwards three times. -- you cannot compare the numbers from different years.
The first numbers were unrealistically high, and difficult to obtain even with the (then) 55 mph limit. The first downward revision in the early 80's was about 22 percent. Since that time they were revised downward again in 2008, about 10 percent, then lowered another 10 percent this year.
So a 57 mpg Rabbit back then would now be nearer a 40 mpg estimate.
Our 2007 Corolla (stick) was 41 hwy then, I think it is now 38..... It gets a lot of 40 mpg hwy tanks with a skilled driver.
I suspect the Cruze with a 45 mpg number on the new system will often return nearly 50 for skilled drivers.. amazing, whaddya think. I have been driving small cars for 40 years, 30 mpg used to be good!!
Goracle, you have revealed your prejudices and ability to twist the facts, without having revealed any evidence to support your claim.

Munro, PRT; Torok, P; (2004) Effect of detector size on optical resolution in phase contrast microscopes. OPT LETT , 29 (6) 623 - 625.
Full text not available from this repository.
We examine the effects of detector size on the imaging properties of a scanning phase contrast microscope. The lateral size of the point-spread function is found to be wider when a point detector is used than when a much larger detector is used. Combining this finding with the well-known difficulties involved in using a confocal microscope in transmission mode suggests that a phase contrast microscope employing a point detector will in general have inferior imaging properties compared with one employing a large detector.

Dancing With the Stars Season 20 Cast Revealed
This morning on Good Morning America the cast of season 20 of Dancing With the Stars was announced. This will make it 10 years for the dancing show!
And without further ado, this season's cast is:
Noah Galloway with Sharna Burgess
Robert Herjavec with Kym Johnson
Patti LaBelle with Artem Chigvintsev
Nastia Liukin with Derek Hough
Riker Lynch with Allison Holker
Charlotte McKinney with Keo Motsepe
RedFoo with Emma Slater
Michael Sam with Peta Murgatroyd
Willow Shields with Mark Ballas
Suzanne Somers with Tony Dovolani
Rumer Willis with Valentin Chmerkovski
There were rumors that Derek Hough was going to be out this season, but as you can see, he is back with Olympian gymnast Nastia Liukin. I swear the show is rigged so he gets a good partner every year.
And last year's defending champ, Witney Carson, has a mystery partner. Her partner hasn't been revealed yet, but I think it will be this seasons bachelor from The Bachelor, Chris Soules. I might have to root for the Iowa boy! Us Iowans have to stick together.
My favorite, Mark Ballas, is paired with Willow Shields. The name wasn't familiar to me at first, but she plays Primrose Everdeen in The Hunger Games. So I will definitely be rooting for them.
One name that probably doesn't seem too familiar is Noah Galloway. He is a double amputee Army vet. He has been featured in Men's Health magazine and he was even on Ellen. He has an incredible life story and I look forward to watching him dance! He is paired with Sharna who is awesome. Should be great.
The premiere episode will be March 16 so set your DVR's. And make sure you check back here for "Dancing With Tasha," where I recap each weeks show in a minute. If I go over a minute I pay the price!

LA tests ways to grade teachers
The addition of the hotly contested student test scores in the pilot didn't affect Miyaji because students take their first California Standards Test in the second grade. As such, the district can't issue her and other second-grade teachers the individual Academic Growth Over Time scores it has been issuing since spring 2011.
Without state test score gains available, Miyaji relied on other student data for her evaluation. She included her students' scores on district literacy tests and the University of Oregon's DIBELS tests, short for Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills, given three times a year at 20 percent of elementary schools in the nation.
But she said none of that measures the vibrancy of what's actually happening in the classroom.
On a sunny Friday morning in March, Miyaji gathered her second-graders on the carpet at the front of the class for a lesson on lions and tigers.
"Did you know the back feet of lions and tigers have only four toes?" Miyaji asked. "So which feet? The front or the back?"
Her students, a rambunctious group of 7- and 8-year-olds, respond in unison, "The back!"
Reading from a book, Miyaji told her students that lion prides typically include two dozen cubs.
"That's 24! Twenty-four cubs," one student shouted.
"How do you know it's 24, Carlos?" Miyaji asked.
"Because a dozen is 12," Carlos said.
It's observations like this that many teachers hope will provide a clearer picture of their classrooms and make up for any deficiencies in using test scores to judge their performance.
Examining student test scores
Nationally, experts have disputed whether student test score data can be used reliably to measure teacher performance – but nearly all agree that such data should be coupled with more qualitative information to ensure fairness and make sure the evaluations are useful to teachers.
Proponents say the test data is appropriate because it's one way to measure what's supposed to be the ultimate outcome of teaching – whether students are learning. The data also can provide a counterweight to principals' observations, which, depending on how they're structured, also can have reliability problems.
States and districts mostly have opted to look at student growth, as opposed to raw test scores, because raw scores can disadvantage teachers with large numbers of low-income, limited-English or special needs students, who tend to score lower on standardized tests.
Critics of growth measures have said they can fluctuate depending on the variables and number of years of testing data added to the mathematical formula, making their validity suspect, and worry that grading teachers based on tests will cause them to focus more on test prep in their classrooms.
Drew Furedi, formerly the executive director of Los Angeles Unified's talent management division and now its executive director of human capital initiatives, said the piloted changes focus on evaluation as "a growth and development tool rather than a punitive tool," which will tie results to "aligned, targeted, professional development opportunities for teachers."
In a letter to teachers May 24, Deasy said the district will fully implement the evaluation changes tested in the pilot program next school year.

10 Tips to Establish Rapport with Your Audience
Rapport with your audience is the secret to connecting, building trust and working together. When you don't have rapport with your audience you are wasting everyone's time and digging your grave. Start building rapport early in your presentation and reinforce often as you deliver your message.
To establish stronger rapport with your audience follow these 10 powerful rapport-building techniques when you present.
1. Never tell jokes. Jokes ridicule people and always alienate someone. Jokes can offend people and push them away from you. When delivering a business presentation remember that you and not a stand-up comic.
2. Tell self-deprecating funny stories. This is the way to make your audience laugh by making fun of yourself. We trust people who have imperfect lives - like us. But don't reveal all your faults at once - they might brand you a real loser.
3. Dress a little better than your audience so they see you as the expert but not too removed.
4. Look them in the eye. We trust you if you look at us. Don't stare at that proverbial spot on the back wall. Look at and talk to each person in the audience - one at a time.
5. Smile. They will naturally smile back at you. If you think your audience looks miserable - remember they are a mirror of the speaker.
6. Tell stories - don't lecture. Kids plead with their parents, 'Tell us a story.' They never say, 'Give us a lecture.' Why do you think we hate lectures - and why I slept through so many at university?
7. Speak the language of the audience. With engineers - talk slide rules, structural forces and tolerances. Whisper the word RAM to computer nerds and watch their eyes light up. When speaking to associations learn if they are called clients, members, associates, delegates or true believers.
8. Help them laugh. Every one loves to laugh. Remember the scene in Mary Poppins with the staid bankers. The old geezer died laughing. Don't kill them, but inject some humour.
9. Talk about things they can relate to. Sales people relate to cold calls, warehousers to stock-outs, bureaucrats to policy formation, and entrepreneurs to cash flow. Remember that everyone relates to family.
10. Be yourself. Be comfortable. Prepare; but don't worry, it's okay to make mistakes. If you are plastic and too polished they won't believe you.

Projecting the 53-man roster for the Chicago Bears, Part IIIContinue reading.
A meaningless game? For Bears on the roster bubble, this is as big as it gets
The fourth preseason game is the opportunity of a lifetime for several players on the fringe of the Bears roster — a chance to put more snaps on tape than some of them have had in the entire preseason.
But for the Bears, it's largely a perfunctory affair that more than likely will have little impact on the 2014 team. Last season, none of the 22 starters against the Browns in the preseason finale started a game in the regular season. Only nine of them even made the roster. Only four made it through the entire regular season. And only three — special-teamer Blake Costanzo (16 games), safety Anthony Walters (13 games) and wide receiver Joe Anderson (six) — played more than two games.
Three years ago, the bubble player from the preseason finale that arguably had the biggest impact on the Bears in the regular season played for the Browns in this game — fullback Tyler Clutts was cut by the Browns, was immediately picked up by the Bears and played a key role as a blocking back for Matt Forte in 2011. Last year, the Bears signed defensive end David Bass — who had played against the Bears with the Oakland Raiders in the third preseason game — after Bass was cut by the Raiders following the final preseason game.
So you never know.
"I don't think there's ever such a thing as a meaningless game," Bears coach Marc Trestman said. "There's guys that we're going to evaluate off of this game that really have a chance to make our team. And it's more than one in my opinion.
"There's a good number that are going to be evaluated taht have an opportunity to impact our 53. So if it's one of them, every guy has got to go out and play hard. It really is an opportunity to put their abilities and their potential on tape not only for us, but for the league. That's how I see it."
The Bears roster is at 75 heading into tonight's game and must be cut to 53 by Saturday. And some of those cut will end up on the practice squad, which has been increased from eight players to 10 this season. It's not unlikely that half of the practice squad players will be players who were cut by other teams.
Regardless of what happens against the Browns, the Bears will have at least one difficult roster quandary — what to do with injured wide receiver Marquess Wilson, who is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a broken clavicle. It is more than likely that Wilson will be put on the physically unable to play (PUP) list that allows him to return to practice after the team has played six games. That allows the Bears to keep another wide receiver on the roster and don't be surprised if that comes from outside the current roster.
Theoretically, if rookie quarterback David Fales lights it up against the Browns, the Bears might not be able to get him to their practice squad without another team claiming him. But with Jimmy Clausen as much of a developmental quarterback as a backup at this point, the risk of losing Fales is one the Bears can take. As Phil Emery himself said prior to the draft, you don't find many starting quarterbacks in the sixth round of the draft.
It might be more prudent to have Clausen play the entire game against the Browns than Fales. Clausen hasn't played in a regular-season game in the NFL since his rookie year of 2010 with the Carolina Panthers. But offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said the Bears are confident that Clausen is NFL ready in case he's needed sooner rather than later. The Bears definitely like what they have in Clausen. Choosing him as the backup over Jordan Palmer a week before the final preseason game is just one indication of that.
"Jimmy's confident," Kromer said. "Coming off a rokie year having to start on an offense that's not that talented and going through what he had to do in Carolina, it could crush the confidence of a player. He hasn't allowed that to happen. That doesn't show. He's still confidence. He's smart. He works at it. And he'll be ready."

Recipe by Fletchie
"If you love cilantro, you will love this hummus! I usually adjust the cilantro and lemon juice for flavor after mixing. Be sure to wear gloves while preparing the jalapeno; the oil will stay on your skin for a long time and will burn your eyes if you wear contacts. (I found out the hard way!) The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving with crackers or pita bread."

We loved this, but I did need to add a bit of liquid to get it to the right consistancy...I also added a nice splash of evoo, and topped it w/ a drizzle of evoo, finely minced jalapenos, toasted pine nuts and paprika. This was a hit and I will be making it again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
It was a nice twist on a basic hummus recipe. The cilantro gave it a bright flavor which I liked. It did seem very dry, so, I added a little more lemon juice and drizzled in a little olive oil. If you are a fan of traditional hummus - you may not like this one because the cilantro flavor hides the sesame taste you get from the tahini in a traditional hummus recipe.

Changes we made: added the juice of 2 small lemons rather than 3 tbsp, 2 oz of olive oil, and this was done in a nutribullet. It made for a thick hummus - my husband usually makes the hummus and adds a little water when using

Max Brand was one of the most prolific and, at his best, masterful writers of western fiction who ever lived. Brand penned over 300 westerns. But he was never happy with his success. Brand's westerns were authentic. He had grown up working as a hand on the ranches of the San Joaquin Valley, in a time just before the coming of the horseless carriage, when a man who couldn't ride a horse wasn't going very far in the world. As these three western novels prove. Alcatraz is a novel of love: that of man and horse, and that of woman and man. Folks said neither the wild horse Alcatraz nor the man Red Jim could never be caught or tamed. The man set out to prove them wrong about the horse -- and a woman who set out to prove them wrong about the man. The Garden of Eden is considered one of Brand's finest achievements, the story of a western Adam and Eve who reject the sins of the world by locking themselves into their own garden of Eden forever. Bull Hunter is the prototypical elegiac westerner who foreshadowed the television cowboy hero. Only as he is riding out of town after dispatching the bad guys does this peripatetic wanderer realize he loves the girl. Will he return to her someday, he wonders? Will Maverick, will Cheyenne, will the Duke, will Eastwood? Or are they fated to endlessly roam alone across the plains -- tumbling tumbleweeds all? With a new Introduction, and a recommended reading list and filmography of motion pictures based on Brands westerns. Cover design: Frankie Hill.

Courses: Immigration Law, Criminal Law, and Refugee & Asylum Law Seminar
Professor Huyen Pham joined the faculty in 2006. She previously was an associate professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law. Before teaching, Professor Pham practiced law in both the private and public sectors. At the Boston firm of Hill & Barlow, she worked primarily in the litigation department, helping to represent clients as diverse as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), and the American Civil Liberties Union. In her work as an assistant attorney general in the Missouri Attorney General's Office, she was co-counsel to the Missouri Ethics Commission, representing the Commission in federal, state and administrative proceedings. Professor Pham also clerked for the Hon. George A. O'Toole, U.S. District Court in Boston.
Professor Pham's scholarship focuses on immigration law and its intersections with criminal law. In the immigration policy debate, the question of who enforces our immigration laws can be as significant as what those policies are, and Professor Pham's most recent projects have explored the implications of changing enforcement roles for the federal government, local governments, and private parties.
Professor Pham has a J.D. from Harvard Law School, where she graduated cum laude and served on the Executive Board of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. She earned her A.B. in social studies magna cum laude from Harvard College. After graduation from college, Professor Pham received an Echoing Green Public Service Fellowship to start a school in the Vietnamese refugee camp in Palawan, Philippines.

Keep Your Storm Drains Clean, Citizens Asked To Use Road Sand Collection Sites [List of Locations]
With all the rain we've been getting it's easy to see what storm drains are plugged. The City of Duluth knows that there is a cleaning process ahead, but with your help a lot of additional work can be avoided and lots of debris can be diverted from ending up in our streams and Lake Superior.
