It all started with the raccoons. After 10 years of marriage, Jeff and Nealy have a young son, an idyllic suburban life, and a marriage that's stuck. Accordingly, Jeff decides to plant a perfect backyard lawn. Enter the raccoons, who repeatedly tear up his grass. When Jeff tries to eradicate these meddlesome vandals, his efforts initiate a bewildering chain reaction involving a crazy cat lady, multiple infidelities, extortion, organ donation, and somebody on the wrong end of a bow and arrow.

'Game of Thrones' Season 3 premiere: Kit Harington on Jon Snow becoming a Wildling and his Ygritte romanceAdd to Favorites | Game of Thrones
In the Season 3 premiere of "Game of Thrones," "Valar Dohaeris," Jon Snow finally comes face-to-face with the King Beyond The Wall, Mance Rayder. Kit Harington teased to Zap2it on the "Game of Thrones" Season 3 premiere red carpet that Jon's relationship with Mance changes how he views the world in the upcoming season.
"I think it affects Jon's psyche because he wants to know why Mance Rayder deserted because he's maybe feeling the same things in his heart," Harington teased. "He also needs to convince this genuine deserter from the Night's Watch that he's doing the same thing -- this very clever man who can read people and read into people -- and I think he's terrified he's going to be found out. He has to convince himself that he's becoming a Wildling, which obviously plays crazy tricks with his brain."
As for what's in store for Jon in Season 3, Harington said, "He's now going beyond the Wall and joining the Wildlings and we have to see whether he stays faithful to the Night's Watch or whether he'd prefer to be a free man and go off with the Wildlings. That's what this season's really about for Jon."
That's leaving out one key detail about Jon's storyline that was revealed in a recent trailer: Jon and the Wildling Ygritte (Rose Leslie) share a kiss -- and maybe more than that.
"I'd like to point out she kisses me, I don't kiss her in that trailer. I need to clarify that," Harington said. "You'll have to see what happens with Jon and Ygritte this season."
But what about the story about Harington and Leslie filming a scene in a hot tub together? "I don't know anything about that, I'm afraid," he hedged. "You'll have to wait and see whether anything actually fires off or not; whether Jon goes against his vows. I don't know, we'll see."
Fans probably won't get any scenes between Jon and Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) in Season 3, but Harington said that the new actors he's working with -- Ciaran Hinds, Mackenzie Crook and Kristofer Hivju, the latter of whom Harington said people should "watch out for" -- are great additions to "Game of Thrones."
"Those three performances are going to be quite something," he said. "Mackenzie, I've never seen him do a role like this. We obviously know him from Gareth in 'The Office' or he's in 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' and I saw him in a Chekov play once, but I've never seen him play a disturbed, evil character. That's what he is this season and he does it perfectly."
As George R.R. Martin hasn't written the final "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel yet, the public doesn't know how the series is going to pan out. Harington shared his theory on how "Game of Thrones" will end, and it's one that's easy to get behind.
"I'd love to say Jon on the throne, but I actually don't think he would be," he teased. "I think either him and Daenerys will have a great big massive battle, or they'll team up and Jon will become Hand to the Queen. That's my theory."
"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays on HBO at 9 p.m. ET.

First attempt cooking chard and it was really yummy! Only gave it four stars as I didn't have red pepper flakes so can't say I followed the recipe to a "t". Great as is though!
I tried & cooked chard for the first time & it was delicious. I'll make it again, maybe adding pine nuts.
My family (husband and 7 yr old son) loved this. I added zest from half the lemon the last minute of sauteeing the stems. We like our food lemony.

Springfield's first family may be seeing its end after 23 seasons.
The voice actors who portray The Simpsons, and have since the show's debut in 1990, and studio executives are squabbling over a reported 45 percent pay cut, The Daily Beast reports.
Reports say that if the actors who voice Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and other long-running characters don't agree to see their salaries sliced, the first-run of the hit Fox show may end.
The actors currently make about $8 million each per season.

Cardiac Rehabilitation (rehab) is a medically supervised program that helps improve the health and well-being of people who have heart problems. Cardiac rehabilitation is prescribed at three stages during the patient's recovery following a heart attack or cardiac event. Phase I is the inpatient stage where the cardiac rehab nurse works with the patient on activity, education and discharge planning. During Phase II, the outpatient hospital-based program, participants engage in a continuously ECG-monitored program of exercise therapy to enhance their overall physical condition as well as improve cardiovascular fitness. Participants also receive education on heart disease and life-style modification. Phase III is a supervised maintenance stage of cardiac rehab. The main goal of this phase is secondary prevention and maintenance of exercise and life-style changes.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Mercy Medical Center includes exercise training, education on heart healthy living, and counseling to reduce stress and help you return to an active life. The program is designed to limit the physiological and psychological effects of heart disease and cardiac illness. Mercy's Cardiac Rehabilitation Program strives to stabilize or improve the patient's condition and enhance the patient's quality of life.
The Cardiac Rehab Program at Mercy has been serving the Siouxland area for over 30 years and is the only program in the area that has been certified by The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). This certification is the result of Mercy's intense focus on quality care.
The 4,400-square-foot Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center, located on the fourth floor of the Mercy Heart Center, is dominated by 12-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer dramatic views of the city. Rehabilitation clients have access to an indoor walking track, treadmills, stationary bikes, upper-body exercise equipment, free weights, NuSteps, Airdynes and universal exercise equipment. The Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation Center is adjacent to Mercy Medical Center, which affords an extra measure of safety for the participants in this program.

Traffic congestion costs the Baltimore-Washington region more than $3 billion a year, according to a study released yesterday by the Texas Transportation Institute.
The study was commissioned by the Greater Baltimore Committee, the Greater Washington Board of Trade and the Maryland Chamber of Commerce. All three influential business groups have been urging state lawmakers to spend more money on transportation infrastructure, arguing that gridlock hurts businesses and degrades quality of life.

3 Shredded Cheddar Cheese (FD)
1 Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (FD)

Storage Conditions
Temperature: Storing THRIVE at a high temperature can significantly increase the speed that calories and vitamins will degrade over time. In the correct storage container, low-moisture foods such as THRIVE can be stored at room temperature or cooler (75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) and remain nutritious and edible for years. Our stated shelf life assumes that the product will be stored in optimal conditions.
Humidity: The effects of humidity on a closed can are caused by heat and very similar to the effects of high temperature (see above). High humidity can corrode the cans and in some cases even cause the cans to leak. Areas with high humidity can reduce the opened shelf life of the product. As humidity varies with location please use your own discretion to prevent possible sickness from eating spoiled food.
Damaged Container: Minor dents in the center of the can are usually just a cosmetic issue. However, a can that has been dented near or on a seam can have a compromised air-tight seal and allow oxygen to enter the can. If this is the case we recommend using the dented can within the specified opened shelf life, rather than closed.
The best way to maintain the highest quality of your THRIVE products is to take care of them. If you intend on storing your food for the sealed shelf life, store the cans in a place that is not open to elements such as water, light, and air. Take care of it. Don't expose it unnecessarily to the elements. Also, be sure to keep the temperature and humidity low and even. Under these proper storing situations your THRIVE will maintain its delicious taste, natural coloring, and proper nutrients.

Partouche Poker Tour Folds Following Prizepool Controversy *Updated*
After controversially failing to honor the €5 Million guaranteed prizepool in their Main Event Wednesday, Partouche Poker Tour officials announced Thursday that the tour would cease operations after this event, with a top Partouche executive tendering his resignation shortly thereafter.
One day later however it appears as if the Partouche Group will in fact honor the €5 million guarantee. Before the start of play on Day 4, Patrick Partouche issued a statement that they [the Partouche Group] will bear the brunt of the shortfall and make up the difference in the prizepool.
This follows several days worth of speculation as to whether or not they would make up the €735,000 difference between the announced prizepool and what was allegedly guaranteed. On Thursday afternoon, in fact, before the start of play on Day 3, Partouche Group CEO Patrick Partouche stood in front of all those gathered for Day 3 of the Main Event to make the announcement that the tour was coming to an end.
According to a report on the Winamax blog, Partouche stated that the €5 million was not a guarantee of any kind in advertisements or communications made by the Partouche Group. He also pointed towards the tournament's success over the last five years and their ability to attract foreign players to this event. Partouche did not accept any blame in the matter and bristled at any accusations of being a thief or a cheater.
Issues began to surface on Day 2 of the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event as play got underway Wednesday and the official prizepool was announced at €4,264,580. Many players were taken aback as they had assumed that the event carried a minimum guarantee of €5 Million and there was an almost instant uproar as they realized something was amiss. As is often the case in today's social media-friendly world they took to Twitter, first to reveal the issue at hand to the public and later to provide evidence that the €5 million was indeed guaranteed.
"Everyone at Partouche expected a 5 [million] guaranteed prize pool," Tweeted Justin Bonomo. "Staff is saying it was never guaranteed. I found proof: pic.twitter.com/heDB7Vz7."
Bonomo was soon joined in his Twitter outburst by the likes of Todd Terry, Nicolas Levi, Peter Jetten and Tristan Wade, among many others. As word spread of what was developing, more and more evidence of advertising that included mention of a €5 Million guarantee was posted. Things continued to get heated as Bonomo claimed that Partouche was scrubbing evidence of the word guarantee from their website, noting that while the guarantee was visible on an archived version of the site it no longer appeared.
Amidst the mounting evidence was an interview with Partouche Group Marketing Director Jean-Jacques Ichai in which he makes mention of the guarantee. Following Patrick Partouche's speech Thursday afternoon, Ichai posted a message on the Partouche Poker Tour's Facebook page taking full responsibility for the remark and tendering his resignation.
While the tour is still coming to an end after this tournament, players who were still in the field and outspoken about the shortfall celebrated the decision as action reached a pivotal point early on Day 4.

Security and civil defence forces in Nigeria are still searching for a number of high profile detainees who escaped from police detention centre in Abuja. The number of fugitives, according to the police, is 30 and so far six have been recaptured. Those who are still on the run were detained based on armed robbery-related cases.
The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) office located in Garki 2 (Old Abattoir) was ambushed in the early hours of November 26. Dozens of unknown gunmen encased the office and let loose all the detainees there after killing two police guards.
One police source said the gunmen launched the attack with military-style weapons and each of them carried sufficient ammunition enough to engage police patrol team. They scaled the back yard fence and advanced toward the detention facility, shooting erratically into the air and at some of their targets, the source said.
"Some of the police guards around were caught unawares, because nobody expected attack at that hour while those who were on the alert fired back at the attackers," the sources said.
The police were to some extent overwhelmed due to insufficient ammunition to the extent that the attackers unlocked the cells and freed the detainees. The source said the attack may not be unconnected with an effort by terrorists to free some of their contemporaries languishing there.
The source said there were people in the cells detained on terrorism charges, while others were kept on allegation of petty thefts and armed robberies. Few suspects were transferred there from other police units, pending the conclusion of investigation into their respective cases. "All the detainees escaped, because the guards took cover." The attack was carried out in a coordinated manner, indicating that those responsible were either working with insiders or must have acquired intelligence about the office and the personnel there. The time for the attack was also planned, the source said.
Police spokesman Frank Mba said police reinforced and recaptured 25 of the fugitives as well as two of the attackers. Later at night, the police rearrested one other detainee who was initially in custody on robbery charges, but the police did not give details about those who escaped and those recaptured. Also, no explanation was given about the two attackers who were captured.
Police in the Federal Capital Territory and other formations were placed on red alert following the attack as well as asked to fish out the remaining escapees. A number of police raids have been going on in Abuja and hundreds of people had been arrested.
Mba said the raids were "routine and have nothing to do with the previous attack on SARS. The raids were intended to arrest criminals and bring them to book before they commits havoc. They are continuous exercises, intelligent based and target oriented."
He said the police are working together with the public and other security forces to trace the hideouts of the four fugitives remaining, adding that the attack would not in any way dampen the morale of police officers in the current fight against terrorism. The police are making headway into the circumstances behind the attack and those responsible would be traced and brought to book, he said.

Mohamed Merah - the man behind the Toulouse killing spree – is dead after a 32 hour siege ended in grenade explosions and gunfire.
He jumped out of his bathroom window blazing an automatic pistol as police broke through, and was found dead where he fell.
Two police commandos were wounded in the raid on the gunman's flat, one of them seriously, after he refused to give himself up and vowed to die fighting.
Commandos used video cameras to check rooms for signs of life, but when they entered the bathroom Merah came out "blazing away with a submachine gun."
During a furious close-quarter battle in which Merah wielded an Uzi, he was shot in the head by a police sniper as he was trying to jump out of the bathroom window. One experienced police commando said he had never seen anyone attack police so violently.
More than 300 bullets were fired in the shootout and at least 30 of them were fired by Merah, who was wearing a bullet-proof vest. French prosecutor Francois Molins said that "everything was done to try to arrest him alive," but the man chose to carry out his earlier-declared intention to die "with a gun in his hand."
Merah, a 23-year-old French citizen of Algerian origin claiming association with Al-Qaeda, confessed to killing four people outside a Jewish school and three French soldiers in separate attacks in the Toulouse region.
Merah had told police he did not want to surrender and that if attacked, he would shoot to kill. Police had already attempted to detain the gunman on Wednesday night, but Merah fired back and injured three officers, forcing them to retreat.
While the investigation is underway into whether or not shooting spree suspect had accomplices, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has warned against any retribution against the country's Muslim community, saying "our fellow Muslim citizens have nothing to do with this crazy murderous act of terrorism."
Merah, according to his own words, "has brought France to its knees." His only regret was "not having more time to kill more people."
During the long and difficult negotiations, the authorities described Merah as a man of strong temperament. Merah himself said he had neither a suicidal spirit, nor a martyr's soul, and "preferred to kill and remain alive."
He admitted to the killing of seven people, saying he did it to take revenge for the French foreign interventions and "killings of Palestinian children in the Middle East."
Merah recorded all three of his deadly shootings with a camera strapped to his chest and told investigators where to find the recordings. He also said he had uploaded the videos to the Internet, but so far they have not emerged online.
In the first video, during the killing of a paratrooper on March 11, Merah was reportedly heard saying "You kill my brothers. I kill you," and four days later, when killing two other soldiers, he shouted "Allahu Akbar."
Merah was linked to Al-Qaeda and received instructions from the group to carry out a suicide mission in France, Interior Minister Claude Gueant said. Merah refused to blow himself up, though he agreed to carry out a general mission to commit an attack in France, which eventually ended with his death.
An Al-Qaeda linked group, Jund al-Khilafah, has claimed responsibility for the shootings, saying their "brother Yousef, the Frenchman" carried out these operations, the US monitoring group SITE says.
French authorities had been tracking Merah for several years before the tragic events. They knew he espoused a radical form of Islam and had been to Afghanistan and the Pakistani militant stronghold of Waziristan. On the other side of the Atlantic he was also considered suspicious and was put on a US no-fly list as a suspected terrorist, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing a US intelligence official.
Belgian MEP Philip Claeys believes Europe should adopt a much firmer stance on those citizens who are known to have been in "terrorist training camps" and "taken part in hostile activities."
"They should not be allowed to go back to their countries," he told RT. "All of them should be in jail."

Three of the dogs belonged to the owners of the homestead while the other two were from another homestead in the same village.
The incident, which was confirmed by Matabeleland South police spokesperson, Inspector Tafanana Dzirutwe occurred at Maluzaphi resettlement area on 16 June which is incidentally, the Day of the African Child.
Insp Dzirutwe said the boy's mother, Miss Thobekile Dube heard him screaming while she was penning goats and rushed to chase the dogs away but discovered that he had been severely wounded. Insp Dzirutwe said the dogs bit off the baby's two ears and left him with a deep cut on the neck and wounds all over the body.
"The baby sustained a deep cut on the right side of the neck and several wounds all over the body, while his ears were torn off. An ambulance was called and took the baby to Mpilo Central Hospital where he died the next day."

Road Trip, Project MGB: Delivered!
Photography by Mark J. McCourt
As he reported last Friday, Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine editor Dave LaChance and I took to the road this past Monday morning to begin a two-day, 550-mile reliability tour of New England that culminated with leaving our project MGB at its rightful home: the Good News Garage office in Burlington, Vermont. With the blessing of the GNG, Dave had conceived of a road trip that would take this fully restored British tourer to visit every New England state before the final hand-off.
If you're new to Hemmings, you can catch up on our long history with this special car, which was given a new life through many generous donations of parts, time and talent. After the last installment in HS&EC, the one thing that stood between the car and the highway was a state safety inspection- and not surprisingly, the MGB passed with flying colors.
Dave shouldered the MG's driving duties—I followed in a HMN company vehicle to make sure we'd have a way to get home from Burlington—and I think it's safe to say that our Triumph Spitfire-driving editor enjoyed his concentrated taste of Abingdon motoring magic a great deal.
Our route took us through Massachusetts and down into Connecticut; we traveled east into Rhode Island, and re-entered Massachusetts in perfect time to tackle Boston's evening rush hour traffic with the top down! After overnighting in the charming seaside town of Rockport, we cut through New Hampshire to enter Maine, before turning west again to head back through New Hampshire and re-enter Vermont. The good people of the Good News Garage were thrilled to see the MGB drive into their workshop around 6:30 Tuesday evening.
Thanks to the excellent parts used in the rebuild and the careful workmanship of our dedicated volunteers, Dave could happily report that the car never skipped a beat, running flawlessly in everything from stop-and-go city traffic to the open highway.
The Good News Garage staff told us that the car would soon go into winter storage, and, come spring, will be the star of some promotional activities. As promised, we will keep you informed of the Good News Garage's plans for the MGB in the upcoming year, and you'll be able to read all about this happy homecoming in an upcoming issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car.
Time for our project MGB to hit the road
Our time with our 1979 MGB project car is about to come to an end. On display in our Sibley Shop here at Hemmings for the past few months, the car is going to be delivered next week to its rightful owner (and our partner in its restoration), the Good News Garage. We could trailer the car to the Good News Garage's headquarters in Burlington, a mere three hours north of us, but what's the fun in that? Instead, we'll be driving the MG to Burlington, in a whirlwind victory tour touching on all six New England states.
The MG, dubbed the Project Car with a Heart, had been given to the Good News Garage, a non-profit program that helps provide transportation to needy families, back in 2007. They, in turn, put the car in our hands. In the months and years since, we and our team of donors and volunteers have done a complete, nuts-and-bolts restoration, work that we documented on this site, and in the pages of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine. If you've missed any of that, there's a recap at Hemmings.com/Editorial/MGBuild. We remain deeply indebted to all of the individuals and businesses that donated so much in labor and materials to the project.
We wrapped up the final parts of the project, the installation of the new windshield and new top, earlier this year. Since then, thousands of visitors to our headquarters here in Bennington have had a chance to see the completed car. What's next for the MG? That's up to the Good News Garage. They'll be finding a new owner for the car, and raising money to support their operations. How that is to happen has not yet been determined, so stay tuned, and we'll bring you news as we get it.
Mark McCourt and I will be heading south out of Bennington on Monday morning in the MGB, following a 500-mile, interstate-free route that passes through Northampton, Massachusetts; Pomfret, Connecticut; Woonsocket, Rhode Island; Boston, Massachusetts; York, Maine; Guilford, New Hampshire; and Montpelier, Vermont. We'll be pulling over from time to time for tweets (#HemmingsMGB) and Facebook posts, and we'll have a full report of our tour in a future issue of Sports & Exotic Car.
Forty years on: the MGB and the transition to rubber bumpers
All brochure images from the collection of Mark J. McCourt.
The year 1974 was a crucial one in MGB history, as it was the year when the world's most beloved British sports car underwent the most radical changes in its 18-year lifespan. The earliest 1974 models, built in the fall of calendar year 1973, retained the small chrome bumper overriders with slender rubber tips used since 1970. The U.S.-market MGBs built in January 1974 received updated large rubber block overriders, complying with our then-new NHTSA regulations. These overriders, seen on the MGB tourers and MGB/GTs in this brochure, were nicknamed "Sabrinas" by the Brits, following the theme of 1950s Cadillacs having "Dagmars." (You get the drift.)
According to the indispensable Original MGB: With MGC and MGB GT V8, written by former British Motor Industry Heritage Trust archivist Anders Ditlev Clausager, this new bumper system employed 5/16-inch-thick spring blades inside the overrider housings, and added six inches to the cars' overall length. The rear overriders were moved closer to the edges of the car to offer better clearance for the gas filler.
And there was still another bumper change in store for the 1974 MGB; in September of that year, the (in)famous-yet-brilliant "rubber" bumpers were fitted, not just to U.S.-market cars, but for all markets. The rubber bumper 1974 models – considered "1974-1/2″ models by MGB enthusiasts – were built from September through December 1974, and those cars were unique in that they retained the traditional twin SU carburetors that would be replaced by a single Zenith Stromberg for 1975 to 1980 models. The 1,248 rubber bumper 1974 B/GTs built for our market were the last GTs to be imported. Learn more about the 1974-1/2 MGBs through the North American MGB Register's 1974-1/2 Register.

A conversion guide to British auto terminology

The British automotive industry isn't what it used to be, but thanks to the enduring charm of its products, British sports cars continue to enjoy a well-deserved following on this side of the Atlantic. After a few Saturdays spent turning spanners (sorry, wrenches) on the Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car / Good News Garage MGB, and at the request of reader Scotty G., we've compiled this helpful translation guide to British car terminology. While many readers will be familiar with these terms, those raised on a steady diet of American, Japanese, German, or Italian cars may scratch their heads when terms like "nave plate" and "quarterlight" are thrown about. Memorize the following terms, and you're sure to be embraced by your local British car club, regardless of which side of the Atlantic your car comes from.
As for the restoration of the Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car / Good News Garage MGB, the work continues. The interior is now installed, the windshield seal to the body has been replaced and the engine is (mostly) together. We're awaiting a bit of machining on the intake manifold and a few replacement studs, but the car's final assembly will likely take place in the next 30 days. Once the project is finished, we'll provide an additional update, with information on the car's raffle to support Good News Garage.
A tip of the hat to the Lotus-Europa.com and Team.net websites for their comprehensive British to American cross-reference charts.
Do you remember DreamWheels?
If you were a car-crazy kid in the mid-Eighties like myself, you may remember the short-lived "DreamWheels" series of toys, those stuffed plush car pillows that came in many different forms.
I'd been wondering what happened to mine, and I recently found them at my parents' place, in a stash of childhood goods that haven't yet moved to Vermont. These toys, which measure roughly 12 inches long by 7 inches wide, feature complex shapes, neat details (love the bug's running boards and that Lambo's wing!) and, on their undercarriages, their own stories.
I must have still had these toys in my bedroom when I was in high school, because they inspired a senior art project, done along these same lines – I attempted to capture my father's (now my) 1980 MGB in cotton.
If my memory serves, I made this out of a white t-shirt (it's yellowed after 20 years) that I detailed with fabric markers. My crafty mother helped me make a template and to figure out how to cut and sew the fabric on her sewing machine. I added a separate windshield (with three little wipers), but since I couldn't figure out how to make and sew in separate wheels as on the originals, these Rostyles were simply drawn on, and stiffened from the inside with cardboard panels and extra batting.
Its body contours are nowhere near as detailed as the real DreamWheels, but I thought it turned out pretty decent for a guy who had little in way of sewing skills.
And if memory serves, it got a good grade.
I haven't seen other DreamWheels in ages… Do you readers remember what other versions/cars were available? And where did they all go?
UPDATE (3.October 2012): Reader Dan David sent in these photos of a Saab 900 Turbo pillow, made in 1982 by TFA, or Toys For Adults. He says it was also available in red, and was sold through the Saab Accessory catalog. Thanks also to Arte Levy for sending photos of his same pillow.
America's oldest annual rally celebrates 60 years
Images courtesy MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre
Amateur motorsports in America got a huge boost in popularity in the years following World War II, thanks to the new popularity of British sports cars like the MG TC and Jaguar XK120. It's not surprising then to learn that the oldest continuously held road rally in the country is one that was founded by the British car enthusiasts of the MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre. On Friday through Sunday, June 8-10, this Denver, Colorado-based car club will commemorate the 60th "diamond" anniversary of the historic MG Car Club Road Rallye with events that include a driving tour, a time-speed-distance (TSD) rally and a car show.
MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre founder Hazel Hopkins Marble, at the 1994 event
The event grew out of the 1952 founding of the MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre by former Glenwood Springs residents and MG enthusiasts Hazel Hopkins Marble and Dr. Robert Livingston.
The MG Car Club Road Rallye has traditionally been open to all motoring enthusiasts, so MGs haven't been the only cars to participate, as we see by the 1955 street scene, above, and 1958 photo, below. How many cars can you identify?
This year's event will bring more than 100 MG-driving car enthusiasts – as well as owners of other cars like Porsches, Mini Coopers, BMWs, Volkswagens and American muscle cars – through miles of beautiful alpine scenery near Glenwood Springs, including Glenwood Canyon, Independence Pass and the Grand Mesa, and will include stops at Glenwood Hot Springs and the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.
From the club's press release for the event:
Events rev up on Friday, June 8, with a scenic road tour winding through canyons and over mountain passes between Denver and Glenwood Springs. Saturday's main event is the Rallye Glenwood Springs, a time-speed-distance challenge for novice and experienced drivers and navigators. On Sunday, Two Rivers Park is the setting for the MGCC Car Show and Funkhana, an obstacle course that tests driving skills.
Event chairman and club historian Alan Magnuson is a 28-year veteran of the Rallye Glenwood Springs and has many fond memories of previous rallies. "We experienced a cattle drive west of New Castle in 2001 that blocked the road during one of our events. The entire county road was filled to the horizon with a sea of cattle being herded from one pasture to another. The cattle, horses and cowboys too, all looked down at us sitting in our little MGB as they walked around our car. This is the true Wild West!"
Along with cattle herd hazards, drivers have encountered unpredictable weather conditions, including blinding hail storms on high mountain passes, and, in 2002, due to the Coal Seam fire, the Rallye was forced to terminate early. In addition to talking shop, it is memories and stories like these that are exchanged at the annual Rallye Glenwood Springs. "We come to enjoy the competition, the scenery, the automobile and the camaraderie," said Magnuson.

Great Britain gears up to celebrate the MGB's 50th
MG enthusiasts around the world are preparing to celebrate the golden anniversary of the MGB this year, and in the beloved sports cars' country of origin, the party won't get any more lively than at this summer's 2012 Silverstone Classic – one of just three official events celebrating the B's 50th.
Great Britian's major celebrations for the MGB open with MGLive! in June and conclude with an MG gathering at Blenheim Palace in September. In between comes this year's three-day Silverstone Classic, staged July 20-22 at the home of the British Formula 1 Grand Prix. All MGB owners attending these three special events will be presented with a unique commemorative rally plaque exclusive to the individual show.
"We are very proud to welcome the MGB50 celebration to the Silverstone Classic," said event director Nick Wigley. "The 'B' is at the heart of the classic car movement in the U.K. and, as part of this trilogy of special events, we look forward to giving owners a great rocking and racing experience. This is a fantastic era for celebrating golden milestones in the British sportscar industry – last year, the Silverstone Classic honoured the 50th birthday of the E-type with a Guinness World Record; this year we will be paying homage to 50 years of the remarkable MGB."
More than half a million MGBs were built between 1962 and 1980 in Abingdon – home of the MG factory, located just down the road from Silverstone, to the south of Oxford. From the original Mark I roadster, through to the MGB GT and the GT V-8, the MGB has survived as one of the most affordable and adored sports cars in the world. In its day, The 'B' also enjoyed some notable racing and rallying successes during the Sixties with victories, either outright or in class, at Brands Hatch, Nurburgring, Sebring, Targa Florio, Spa-Francorchamps, as well as the Monte Carlo Rally. The Silverstone Classic should provide the perfect backdrop for the MGB50, with more than 800 historic race cars in action and 7,000 classic cars on display throughout the weekend. Adding to the party atmosphere, there will be live music from Mike and The Mechanics and Adam Ant, plus a free fun fair, retail village, air displays, demos and the new AA World feature with its own wealth of attractions.
"It's shaping up to be a tremendous year for the B," said MG Car Club General Manager Julian White. "Each of the three events offers MGB owners something different, and I know many enthusiasts will be keen to attend all three celebrations. The MG Car Club is based in Abingdon, the spiritual home of the marque, so we know firsthand how much the MGB means to people. So it's only natural we have big plans for the MGB50 anniversary." MGB50 Chairman John Watson added: "The two main MG Clubs are working together to enjoy 12 months of MGB celebrations to mark the 50 years of 'The Great British Sports Car.'"
Full details of the 2012 Silverstone Classic powered by the AA – including information on ticket offers and a comprehensive selection of on-site camping facilities – are available via the event's website, SilverstoneClassic.com.
SIA Flashback – MGB GT: Last of the Bargain-Basement Gran Turismos
While Wilson McComb's article about his MGB GT in SIA #103, February 1988, ranges wide enough to cover pretty much all of the MGB's history, there's still plenty of meat here on owning and living with the hardtopped GT. Nor does McComb, a former MG employee and founding editor of Safety Fast, shy away from any of the B's downsides, though we have to wonder: Why all the comparisons to Porsche products?

Human Target
Human Target is an American action drama television series that was broadcast by Fox in the United States. Based loosely on the Human Target comic book character created by Len Wein and Carmine Infantino for DC Comics, it is the second series based on this title developed for television, the first TV series having been aired in 1992 on ABC. Developed by Jonathan E. Steinberg, Human Target premiered on CTV in Canada and on Fox in the United States in January 2010. The series was officially canceled on May 10, 2011, after the conclusion of the second season.
Fox Cancels Human Target
Despite a massive push on the part of the fan base and the show's cast and crew, it seems that Christopher Chance's adventures have come to an end.

WHISKEY BEACH. By Nora Roberts. G.P. Putnam's Sons. 484 pages. $27.95.
It's just a given: Readers expect Nora Roberts books to be fabulously entertaining.
"Whiskey Beach" isn't. It's not bad by any means, but it doesn't reach the bar Roberts has set over the years.
One of the reasons Roberts' books are so enjoyable is that the characters and stories are anything but cookie cutter. Her stories are filled with distinct, robust personalities and circumstances.
Eli Landon, Abra Walsh and their story aren't quite generic, but they are familiar and a little flat.
Landon is just listless and lost after a year of being the main suspect in his cheating, estranged wife's murder.
Walsh is a relentlessly positive thinker whose abusive former boyfriend stalked, raped and almost killed her three years ago. Now Landon has left his legal practice to be a writer and Walsh has left her executive career to be a yoga instructor, massage therapist, housekeeper, jewelrymaker and cocktail waitress. They're healing at Whiskey Beach.
Add in someone sneaking around the family home, an injured grandmother, a dead private detective, a lost pirate treasure and a search for the truth about who really killed Landon's wife.
That's a lot of elements for one book, and nothing really gets fleshed out. It's well-written with some of Roberts' usual snappy conversation, but there's nothing that makes "Whiskey Beach" special.
THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME. By Holly Goddard Jones. Touchstone. 372 pages. $24.99.
Stories of misery, however well-imagined, well-plotted and well-told, are still stories of misery.
"The Next Time You See Me" centers on a small Kentucky town where apparently nobody simply lives and enjoys their existence.
From the death of local party girl Ronnie Eastman, ripples keep expanding as we see inside the awfulness of the lives of characters such as the teen who found Eastman's body in the woods but instead of reporting it kept returning to the site to observe the effects of decomposition.
There are many characters involved in this story, and most of them are doormats, the entitled, bullies or factory workers in dead-end lives. And nobody gets a happy ending.
Even for the few characters who can claim mental and emotional stability, what Holly Goddard Jones shows us is their pitifulness and sadness, what's lacking in their lives.
"The Next Time You See Me" will keep you turning the page because it is well-written and the characters feel absolutely honest, but it blows right past poignant to disturbing, depressing and sometimes just disgusting.

The Nigerian Army's War with #BokoHaram (PBS Frontline)
This is a PBS documentary (also shown on Channel 4 in the UK) about the Nigerian army's battle with Boko Haram. It contains very harrowing footage of suspects being allegedly killed by the army and their civilian allies the Civilian Joint Task Force.
Civilians are being caught in the crossfire of the war between Boko Haram and the army. After Boko Haram attacks, the army sweeps in and arrests suspects. Locals claim that innocent people are often arrested, beaten, and killed after Boko Haram fighters have left the scene:
Nigerian government's response to allegations of abuse by the army and CJTF:

Feature on marriages between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria. Such marriages are actually common and used to be uncontroversial. However politics and wider controversies in society have suddenly put such marriages on edge.
Alex Perry: #BokoHaram is "More Extreme Than Al-Qaida"
Audio interview with journalist Alex Perry who was researched and written about Boko Haram for a long time. Perry alleges that there is no coherent plan to Boko Haram's attacks, and that it is just violence for the sake of it.
Perry saw a gruesome video of Boko Haram members beheading a hostage and gives his analysis of the groups's actions.
Boko Haram Crisis Reaches Its Deadliest Phase
More sad news about the Boko Haram crisis. One of the human tragedies is the number of refugees who have fled the crisis. In Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states alone, there are about 250,000 internally displaced persons. That is in addition to over 55,000 refugees in other countries.

It also shows Abiola's travails as he went from being a confident philanthropist who would host and entertain several hundred guests a day to "losing his confidence" as he became increasingly isolated and no one would ring him for hours.
This programme also has an audio recording of the dramatic moment when he was arrested on live radio while on the phone with the BBC. He told the BBC reporter (live on worldwide radio) "Please leave me. I am delaying them." (the dozens of police officers who came to arrest him after he declared himself President)

Would Moshood Abiola Have Been a Good President?

Last month was the 20th anniversary of the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election. The annulment of that election created a question that Nigerians rarely ask, and will never know the answer to.
The facts of the annulment are well known. After the painstaking eight year conduct of a "transition programme" to return Nigeria to civilian democratic rule after 9 years of military rule, the then military government led by General Ibrahim Babangida voided the results of the June 12, 1993 election that was supposed to herald the return of democracy.
That act added the word "annulment" to the standard Nigerian vocabulary. Although the full election results were never disclosed, everyone knows that Moshood Abiola won. However, given his antecedents, background and temperament, would Abiola have been a beneficial President for Nigeria?
The story of Abiola's life is a classic rags to riches…

Maryland's highest court on Tuesday blocked police in most cases from collecting DNA samples when they arrest suspects in violent crimes and burglaries, dealing a blow to one of Gov. Martin O'Malley's signature initiatives.
The Court of Appeals ruled 5-2 that the state violated Alonzo Jay King Jr.'s constitutional rights by using DNA evidence taken from him after a 2009 assault arrest. That sample led to his conviction in a six-year-old rape case, but the court said it also ran afoul of protections against unreasonable searches without a warrant. The judges ordered that King's rape case be sent back to Wicomico County Circuit Court for a new trial.

Siege in Benghazi - How it unfolded
IN DEPTH: Nearly 1 year after deadly attack on U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, a new book goes inside the compound to tell the riveting story
Woods, along with the rest of the GRS team and the Tripoli operators, ran toward his defensive position. The DS agents rushed to assist.
The two former SEALs Doherty and Woods were relieved to see each other in the wrong place at the wrong time. Doherty reportedly looked at Woods and said, "Let's go, two is one, one is none."
The two men climbed a ladder to the roof and prepared for battle.
Terrorist fire was coming in from all directions. The Annex's defenders responded in kind. The 10-man GRS contingent, the five DS agents, and the seven men from Tripoli gave as good as they got from their rooftop positions, unleashing walls of fire at targets they could identify from the muzzle flashes of the terrorist weapons being fired.
The terrorists moved fluidly and proficiently from cover to cover in their assault; there were no doubts in the minds of the post's defenders that these men had had advanced military training and extensive combat experience. The attackers were not a ragtag assembly of militants looking to throw a few rounds down range. Their advance and assault were methodical.
The chief of base once again relayed back to the chief of station in Tripoli that they were under fire when the mortar barrage began.
What made the mortar so feared on the battlefield was its ability to rain fire down on a target, and afterward the crew could pack itself up and move toward a new position. The mortar could be fired just far enough from its destination that it couldn't be engaged and close enough that it could decimate a target with uncanny accuracy.
The third mortar round landed approximately a hundred feet in front of the main building, which Doherty and Woods were using as their firing perch.
Seconds later, a fourth round was fired, landing squarely on the roof where Woods was firing his Mk 46. Woods was killed instantly.
Doherty rushed to reposition himself and tend to his mortally wounded friend, but then the fifth mortar round came crashing to the rooftop. The impact shook the building and sent shrapnel into a wide field of destruction. When the smoke cleared, Doherty was dead.
And then, once again, the terrorist fire ended as abruptly as it began.
The explosions of mortar fire and full-auto machine gun bursts were muted into a befuddling silence. The defenders looked around and scanned for targets. They looked at the damage. There was trepidation that more would die.

A news release, media release, press release or press statement is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value. Typically, it is mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, and/or television networks. Commercial press-release distribution services are also used to distribute news releases. Sometimes news releases are sent for the purpose of announcing news conferences.
A press release is different from a news article. A news article is a compilation of facts developed by journalists published in the news media, whereas a press release is designed to be sent to journalists in order to encourage them to develop articles on the subject. A press release is generally biased towards the objectives of the author.
The use of news releases is common in the field of public relations, the aim of which is to attract favorable media attention to the PR firm's client, and publicity, the aim of which is to attract favorable media attention for products marketed by the clients.
TV news viewers can often detect the use of VNRs within television newscasts; for example, many movie-star "interviews" are actually VNRs, taped on a set which is located at the movie studio and decorated with the movie's logo. Another frequent example of VNRs masquerading as news footage is videotapes of particular medical "breakthroughs," that are really produced and distributed by pharmaceutical companies for the purpose of selling new medicines.
Video News Releases can be in the form of full blown productions costing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. They can also be in the TV news format, or even produced for the web.
Recently, many broadcast news outlets have discouraged the use of VNRs. Many stations, citing an already poor public perception, want to increase their credibility. Public relations companies are having a tougher time getting their pre-edited video aired.
VNRs can be turned into podcasts then posted onto newswires. Further to this, a story can be kept running longer by engaging "community websites", which are monitored and commented on by many journalists and features writers.
However, it is very hard to enforce embargoes on journalists, as there is constant pressure by editors to be first to a story. It is unlikely that a PR agency will blacklist a form of media, as other clients may want to be featured in this publication. This problem is sometimes overcome by controlling the timing of a release via email rather than relying on the journalist to do so.

If you have a 2010 -up Chevrolet Camaro, Alpine provides full integration for your INA-W900, INA-W900BT, or INA-W910 Audio/Video/Navigation unit. Upgrade to an Alpine and you get a Perfect FIT every time.
Price: U.S. $400.00
(Now Available)
Professional installation available at authorized retailers.
The KTX-CMO kit has been specifically fitted and engineered to fit your Camaro perfectly. It comes with a specially formed OEM-grade, high quality/high strength ABS plastic trim plate that blends perfectly to the dash. This allows the kit to precisely fit not only the vehicle, but also the radio. In addition, extra care is taken to match the factory dash's shape, texture, and color ensuring a clean integrated appearance.
A touch-screen control interface is included to provide climate, convenience and personalization control over your Camaro's factory functions.
This kit comes with everything pre-wired which means all connections are clearly marked for simple plug and play installation into the factory Camaro harness. You get all the necessary hardware for your INA-W900, INA-W900BT, or INA-W910 inside the box. The harness has adapters included so you are ready to connect the KCE-250BT or KCE-400BT Bluetooth modules.
For 2010 -up Chevrolet Camaro vehicles with factory steering wheel audio controls, the KTX-CMO retains the capability to control INA-W900, INA-W900BT, or INA-W910 system volume, source selection, playback controls, and Bluetooth answer/end controls. The kit assures you don't lose any functionality and makes your audio experience completely seamless.
What kit would be complete without the option of a full solution for Onstar? Your Onstar can retain continued services with Alpine's Onstar module KCX-OSMGM (sold separately) for full function and audio.
We didn't just stop there. Unlike traditional universal dash kits, Alpine Perfect FIT kits include direct fit OEM-like brackets to ensure sturdy support and accurate positioning of the radio. This will give your unit a final touch for a flawless fit and finish in the dash.

My attempt at a sparkly gradient for my work Christmas meal! The photos don't show it too well but I used a Nubar holographic glitter over the top which is my favourite!
Here I am wearing Nails Inc Snowflakes over Rimmel's Green With Envy. I only bought Snowflakes a few months ago from Boots but it seems as though it's been discontinued which is a shame as it's such a lovely polish. I really love this combination and the effect of Snowflakes is really pretty as it shimmers slightly different colours depending on the light. What do you think?
I love this nail polish (Disco Mix by Models Own)! It is completely opaque in just two coats and as it's a glitter polish it stays put for ages. The only downside is that it is pretty hard to remove but I definitely think it's worth the effort!
I loved how colourful and sparkly these nails were. I wore them a few weeks ago when the weather was horrible, grey and cold and these made it feel much more summery! The glitter coat is Nubar Hologram Glitter which always looks amazing over any colour.
I really love this design! I used Ciaté Angel Wings as the base and then Nails Inc Nail Jewellery to create the gradient. I wish I'd managed to take photos in daylight as these photos could have looked so much better!
To be honest, the only thing remotely Christmassy about this nail design is the glitter! I started off with a layer of Rimmel Green With Envy and then sponged some Ciaté Angel Wings over it. I was going for an icy effect but was a bit heavy handed with the Angel Wings so it didn't look great. I decided to add some purple glitter and I really liked the end result. What do you reckon?
Here's how I wore my nails at my friends wedding last weekend. I had ordered Nubar 2010 from Amazon but unfortunately it didn't arrive on time (took them a week to tell me that it was damaged in the post and they didn't have a replacement to send – so annoying!) so I had to make an emergency purchase on Friday afternoon. After much deliberation I went with Nails Inc Royal Arcade Nail Jewellery and paired it with my Ciaté Sand Dune.I really love the combination and can't wait to try the Nail Jewellery over some other colours. Some bonus points- it drys really quickly and is really good at staying chip free! It is however a bit of a pain to remove but totally worth it! Do you like it?
If you haven't done so already, why not pop over and enter my competition to win one of two £25 vouchers for the quirky handmade jewellery from HannahMakesThings.com?
My first NOTW since getting back from Thailand and I had to cut my nails really short after biting them to death on the flight home – I'm quite a nervous flier!!! I'm wearing yet another Ciaté polish, this one is called Showgirl. Out of all of the Ciaté polishes I've tried over the past few weeks, this is my least favourite. I do like the colour but I wish the glitter was more obvious. The real life colour looks nothing like the picture on the website which is a bit annoying. The consistency of this one seemed to make it harder to apply although that might just have been because I hadn't put any nail varnish on for the three weeks I was away…. The colour didn't seem to want to go right up to the edges of my nails so looked as though it was wearing at the tips even though I'd literally just applied it – you can see this in the photos which were taken literally a few hours after I'd applied it!
What do you think of the colour?
I've been a busy bee this week – my dissertation is due on Tuesday! Of course, I still made time to do my nails….. Nail Inc Victoria and Albert topped with gold glitter. Do you like it?
Last week I bought two crackle polishes from 17 as part of the three for two offer in Boots. I don't own any other crackle polishes so this is the first time I've ever used it and I managed to make a bit of a mess. The one I'm wearing this week (over Miners Plum) doesn't have a name but is a black crackle with gold glitter. I'm not sure if all crackle polishes are the same but this one seems quite thick and gloopy and I don't think I ended up applying the right amount to get good crackles! On some nails it didn't seem to crackle very well at all! I love the shine this polish has in the light from the glitter but my nails don't look great up close – I think I'll get better at applying crackle polish with practice though! I took these photos on the second day of wearing the polish and there was already some tip wear which was a little disappointing.
What do you think of the colour? Is there a special way to use crackle polish that I'm missing?!

Just curious how people would feel about this. So the Mickey Mouse Revue is leaving Tokyo Disneyland to be replaced by Mickey's Philharmagic. What if MMR was to be placed in DCA's Carthay Circle Theater?
However, many have said the Audio-animatronic shows are dead. This particular show is too old from the '70s. So what if something like MMR was transformed into a dark ride ala the once proposed dark ride transformation for Country Bear Jamboree?
Otherwise, I think the DCA Project Tracker has the Circle Theater as a new "Blue Sky Disney" location focusing on Cars land.
Yes I know TDA doesn't want any more "shows".

Sponsored Popular Weight Loss
Ann_B: It seems like a never ending battle for me with stomach fat…i KNow my metabolism is slowing and I should change mye atin habits…I just starting to look at cleanses.
Sarah: This cleanseRX review makes a lot of sense. i havn't been eating really well and am ready for a clean start! SO would this help me lose stomach fat too over time?
Anonymous: YEah am all 4 cleanses, from the review, it seems like CleanseRX might be a better approach than the master cleanse. I mean you can still eat while taking thid, which is a plus, and might have more energy for stomach fat burning exercises too. Does it matter WHAT you eat whilr using this, btw?
Paul38: OMG i didn't know this! I read on cleanse rx site that :".. the average person has pounds of waste in their colon depending on their lifestyle and diet.."……..G.R.O.S.S!!
Melinda: I just want to feel thinner and I think cleanserx sounds good. As far as diets I found some yummy recipes on this site btw! the Greek wrap under lunches sounds SUPER yummy.
Vickie: Thx for the tip on recipes! will check it out!!
Terry G.: yeah, that's one of the cool things about cleanse Rx probiotics these I have read are an EXCELLENT way to feel better and get the stomach fat under control
JacquelinePatton: I have tried the whole cayenne lemon drink thing and it gives me a so*r b*lly. So I would personally perfre to try a cleanse such as this for stomach fat and wokring out bad stuff in the gut before I start an exercise plan again.
Buggs: seriously man, wanna get that OUT. so then is the CLeanseRX a one shot deal, so long as you take that phase 2 to keep your system in check?
Regina S: Eww a so*r b*lly, isn' t that what your trying to AVOID with any kind of cleanse. I don't see how that whole maple syrup lemon & cayenne mixture can do much acidic good in the long term anyways. I think psyllium husk powder makes more sense for gentle cleaning.
Christina: What if you are vegan and eat a lot of vegan and raw food but wanna lose stomach fat a bit? cleanseRX or just diet?
Anonymous: Sup with ppl and raw food??? doesn't sounds appetizing to me.
Kathleen: I think stomach fat foods are definitely like greens and yogurt but I am still going to eat some of what I like…
Bonnie: Raw food diet seems like a boring one, even if it does help reduce stomach fat and mabye other health issues. I rahter take a slim 10 diet pill & still eat good foods, just LESS of them.
mr_A.: learn to live differently, huh? i just want to LOSE WEIGHT & have energy, and i don't think cardio twister alone is gonna do it.
Paul: Diet is one thing, you have to work out your abs if you dont want stomach fat!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Bethany Taylor: It all goes hand in hand, diet plus exercise. I think Cleanse Rx sounds like a good way to maybe start a diet and then maybe you have more energy to exercise once you get the crud out.
Drew: I AM AWAKE DUDE! so what do you do for stomach fat workout Mr know it all!?
greg jasper: Well i dunno. If could be carrying around an extra 15lbs or so of waste, a cleanse might indeed help reduce some stomach fat. Though probably wouldn't hurt to dust off the old ab roller wheel either.
Anonymous: Mr know it all!! HAHAH
JJ: a good stomach fat workout involves cardio and maybe some crunches.
Roberta: Can someone explain phase one and phase 2 of cleanse rx? Like what you gotta do.
love5689: well as they say…u r what you eat. So, tHIs cleanse Rx is gentle/mild, right?? I wouldn't do well with aciditiy like the master cleanse thing either. Right now – to kick stomach fat in the b*tt, I'm thinking as part of my diet plan to start running, looking at an ab toning belt and maybe this. Thanks.
mary w: from what i read, i think you just take the phase one supplement of CleanseRx for 30 days, and the phase two probiotics indefinitely. No need for cutting out junk or sweating, unless you wANT to i guess. I wonder if an ab belt like a sauna belt or the Vibro belt could help you lose stomach fat while your cleansing tho?
HAPPYDAY: What exactly is so great about probiotics? I mean i keep hearng about it everywhere, not just in Cleanse rx but in vitamins and yogurt too.
Roberta: THX! — Makes sense.
deena: Probiotics are SO GOOD for the gut! read the revew, it says that they replenish the system& keep the colon healthy! HEy, anyone used the Flex belt?
Anonymous: Probiotics rock!I
andy: So, cleanseRX and then a stomach fat diet, is that how it goes best?
Samantha: Sounds like phase one is the one when you maybe loose most of the undigested waste. I read that for ppl who want more weight loss it's a good ideato incorporate a healthy diet and some exercise. I have heard this before it makes sense.
biggienation: yeah that makes sense but what sorta diet????? what makes u lose stomach fat specifacally? Like say after cleanse rx. and what if you r like tooo heavy for a ab circle pro i need a SERIOUS work here.
Leslie: OMG I WATCHED FOOD Inc LAST night!!!!! I NEED A CLEANSE RX ASAP!!!
grace_B.: STOP eating ice cream, DO try a cleanse. To me THAT's the simplest way to lose stomach fat. I mean IMO
Anonymous: how about i do what ???? I don't like ice cream btw.
D: touchy touchy, chill out man. no ones saying u MUST do anything. SUGGESTIONS ONLY.
mark: Gosh dude calm down!!!! It's just a cleanse you are talking about!!! i think i read somewhere that angry people have a harder time loosing stomach fat than happy ppl!!! just sayin'
Anonymous: I absoleult believe in cleansing the body and think cleanse rx plus some good greak yogurt will be great for my metabolism. This year i am getting in shape and cutting sugar, which I hear d can be toxic and not good for a true stomach fat loss diet.
MITCH: Well, my guess is atleast by the end of 30 days, you start to feel better from CleansERX. IF all that undigested stuff comes out by then I would Imagine it make u less bloaty and feeling more enrgy. ANd maybe then using an ab roller or ab belt seems ok, can't imagine all that muscle movement going on just yet, with all the stomach fat & gas goin on, blech.
Alison: Well it says on the cleanse rx site that it all depends on how much waste people have. By the size of my tummy my guess is that i have a LOT of stomach fat! — The site also said that on phase one we can feel the results btw 2 days to a week….for phase 2, 1-3 days. Anyone on phase 2?
hungryhippo41: and i bet next you say you do yoga & malibu pilates & meditate too, typical hippi*!!!!!
JEN: Am in the same boat as a lot of you, worrying about more than just stomach fat…. SO what about the FLEx MINI for your butt & thighs??????? that thing looks way cool
sue&larry: i saw on the cleanserx site that it comes with a 90 day money back guarantee
Claire77: Yeah that movie food inc was a wake up call as well as Our daily bread, did you see that one? Beautiful film. And i am not gonna get started with bottled water, another scary thing in our life. Anway, yeah the cleanseRX sounds like something i can benefit from. BUt most important, eating local and organic produce is what i started doing. This site has some pretty good recipes BTW.
Viv: Cool, so recipes for like stomach fat specifically? BTW, I just read the review on here for P90x, dang that looks GOOD!!! but it might kick my a$$.
Jamie: yeah i saw the recipes, pretty good ones. The Pesto Snapper Fillets is my favorite!! I am making it tonight. This site also has tons of exercises listed too NOT only for abs.
Anonymous: There are entire sites and magazines and diets themselves devoted to stomach fat diets, tips and cleanses and how to begin etc…. such as the lemonade cleanse, which I personally think is too drastic for me. I would consider the Cleanse Rx product because when i read it contains healthful proBs this is definitely more what i like.
GPell: Yeah, that lemonade diet cleanse seems a bit too intense for me, and some other cleansing aids seem like jsut, laxatives. NOT what i want, even if you lose stomach fat that way. But do you really?
Tammy Sanders: if u care about ur health u MAKE TIME to be healthy. stomach fat won't disappear on its own you know!
Bonnie: So is cleansing and something like cleanse RX a good way to begin a new diet of healthy eating?
RuthMoller: Yeah I know I have to eat more vegetables and whole grains and less cake and chips but its hard. DO you think I can loose some stomach fat from walking and doing something like this?
Anonymous: Well I give my house a full spring cleaning every year, I guess why not my body?? — IT would be sweet to lose stomach fat this year too!
Ray: GEt all that nasty junk outta you, thenTry & start eating,b etter.
DON: WHat's teh best liquid to mix with the Cleanse Rx PHASE 2 powder, taste -wise and for the stomach fat & bloat?
J.Fatek: I love the idea of spring cleansing your interiour systems with this
connie: Hahahah spring cleansing, LOVE IT!!! HEy maybe could make one of those green smoothies with the cleanse rx powder. if you gonna start a stomach fat diet why not do it up right, from the get go.
Anonymous: Ok I get it,so Cleanse RX is the cleanse, maybe to lose stomach fat but what about TONING the fat? Ab flex? FLEX BELT? CArdio twister? AM IN NEED OF mORE THN JUST IMPROVED DIGESTION!!!
Tatiana: well like someone mentioned earlier this site has tons of free exercises you can check out – get started no excuses
Hailey Morris: ALL I know is, I probaly never get rid of all the stomach fat, unless i truly make sure theres no nasty bacteria or parasites in my gut. YUCK!
joseph: i see discounts on cleanseRx phase 2?
Anonymous: SO i guess i gotta exercise if I wanna see best results from the Cleanse rx then. Well as long as this gets me some pep, then, ok.
gretchen: Omg yes, i am ready to feel lighter & lose stomach fat.
Pamela: Okay so then what are the best stomach fat burning exercises in your opinion? Please don't say crunches!
Anonymous: i have a question about cleanseRX sorry if its been asked already. What if you change your mind? can you send it back and get your $ back?
FJ.Davidson: Listen, me too. I want to lose this stomach fat spare tire but I want to do it right this time…so the weigth stays off and I have a chance of being healthy for a while which is why I am more into detoxes, which seem more of a long term solution and not a quick fix like a fad diet.
GORDON NAYLOR: Exercise is great, yeah. I read that its good to sweat while doing a cleanse so you really get all those toxnins out. Guess if thats working out with an Ab Circle Pro or sitting in a sauna or steam room, or both, its all gonna be beneficial along with Cleanse Rx.
Katie: have you guys tried any of the recipes here on the site? are any good for ppl who want to have a flat stomach? I read that Cleanse rx will help cleanse from waste but i need a good diet and foods too…
Anonymous: am i to understand that, build up WASTE, in my COLON , be resp for makin my STOMACH FAT? ugh
kurt F.: yeah,i saw on the cleanse RX website, u can save like, 30$$ if you buy like four, of the phase2 powders. Are there any deals on that FLex belt ab shocker thing i keep seeing?
Eric: discounts on cleanse rx? where did you seee that?
Jake: All I have been eating is burgers and I feel nasty
Betsy: I have not tried but will check out those recipes. I tend to get most of my recipes on the food tv site though. Just makes sure it's low carb if you want to loose the stomach fat.
Amy: WEll i think the discount for cleanse rx is if you order more than 1. I also saw you can add the hoodia p57 for $29.
I_sing: I know people like hoodia, i am pretty good with my stomach Fat Diet thx for the recipe tip, yes i can definitely benefit from. I have never done a cleanse before!!! I don't even want to know how much waste i have in me !!!!
James: HOW FAST CLEANSE RX WORKS?
Sheila: From what i understand you are supposed to feel a lot less fatigue and actually gain energy. I also read some testimonials that ppl were no longer bloated and felt they lost a some gunk of course as a result of getting rid of waste. that's why i think cleanse rx sounds so good!
EvanTFraser: I have done some juice fasts and fiber detoxes and you get a very light healthy feeling in your intestines. Sorry gross, but true.

The U.S. government is considering to offer Turkey a deal in which Ankara would stop a second Gaza flotilla that is due to depart later this month in exchange for the opportunity to host an Israeli-Palestinian peace summit in Ankara, the Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman reported Friday.
Israel has been preparing to block the second aid flotilla sailing from Turkey to Gaza, one year after the Israel Defense Forces' deadly raid on the first Gaza flotilla in which nine Turkish activists died. Turkey has demanded Israel apologize for the raid in order to restore Turkish-Israeli ties.
Today's Zaman quoted the Turkish Hurriyet daily as reporting that the U.S. was due to officially ask Turkey to host a major peace conference in return for mending its ties with Israel and preventing the second Gaza-bound flotilla. The proposed peace summit would be similar to past major talks such as the 1991 Madrid Peace Conference and the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

Athletes know that the key to success in their arena hinges on performance. Through training and lifestyle choices they literally engineer their bodies to achieve results, fine tuning every aspect of their game. They know that running faster, jumping higher, and throwing farther than their competitor will give them a critical edge.
In a similar way, the performance of the website is one of the most important but often neglected aspects of development. And virtually any website can experience benefits from fine-tuning its performance.
With so many people using a broadband connection, what's the value of fine tuning the performance of website? Here are four key reasons:
Unfortunately, many prepackaged website tools and templates don't render optimized code and assets as they attempt one-size-fits-all solutions. This can lead to unnecessary bloat and unacceptable load times.
In reality, when it comes to improving performance, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Rather, it's a package deal, a combination of:
These all play important roles in the speed of a website or application, particularly when targeting mobile devices.
Of course the fastest site to load is one without graphics, media, or interactivity, but it's also the least useful. On the flip side, it's important to understand the impact of each component of the site and properly balance that impact with the quality of end-user experience.
This type of strategic analysis and improvement can dramatically affect the speed of a website, thereby making it more user-friendly, accessible, and search-engine relevant.Post a Comment
Thank you for your informative blog. I'm working on my missions website now and I'm a noob. http://www.extrememercy.com
Matthew—great to hear, I'm glad that you're finding the information useful.
Great post, I had no idea that search engines notice the speed of a site.
Andrew—thanks. Google officially added load time as a factor just last year. Relevant content is still one of the most important aspects of SEO, but if slow load times significantly affect the user experience it can have a negative impact on rankings.

WR Wheaton Tops RB Thomas in 100M
Oregon running back De'Anthony Thomas is widely considered the fastest man in college football. Apparently he's not the fastest on the gridiron in his state.
Anthony finished third in the 100-meter event at the Oregon Twilight track & field meet, with Oregon State WR Markus Wheaton coming second. Both were behind Washington's Ryan Hamilton, who is not a football player. Anthony ran a 10.65, while Wheaton clocked in at 10.58 and Hamilton won with a 10.51.
To add insult to Oregon fans, Wheaton is the cousin of Oregon hero Kenny Wheaton.
Who knew that the Civil War football rivalry would manifest itself on the track?

One engine build I've always wanted to underdate but have yet to do is a flathead Ford. Since my full-time work is with racing magazines, flathead tech, unfortunately, doesn't come up too much. But an old-school flathead build is definitely on the Street Muscle Action to-do list.
In the meantime, Precision Engine Tech has a the first installment up in a series building a flatty. It has got an interesting mix of old and new stuff going in it, and I'll be interested to see the final numbers. One of the things that bugs me about engine builds in a lot of magazines and websites is they will show photos of the new stuff–sometimes still in the box–and tell you it went it. But they won't show the installation process or give any details. These guys don't do that. If the details of an engine build are what you are looking for, you will enjoy this article.
One interesting part I noticed is the author had too little clearance between the piston at TDC and the combustion chamber in the cylinder head. His fix was to cut the piston domes on a lathe because this is cheaper than cutting on the heads. But then he goes and has the pistons and chambers measured by a Faro arm, custom plates made to fit into the CNC lathe, a custom program was written to cut the domes and then they are actually CNC cut. All very high tech, and probably not inexpensive.
Still, it's a fun and intersting read.
