WATERBURY — A contractor replacing gas equipment at an apartment house at 61 Proctor St. cut into a gas line without realizing the natural gas service to the house had not been turned off, fire officials said Monday.
The contractor tried to stop or slow the flow of gas, but could not, and retreated. Eventually the gas ignited.
Firefighters were dispatched at 11:30 a.m. and declared the fire under control at 1:05 p.m. Yankee Gas was called to turn gas off to the area.

Off the Wall's 'Gigi' retains its charm
Opening in 1958, "Gigi" won nine Oscars, including best picture. Opening in 1973, a stage adaptation - using the same enchanting songs (and four new ones) by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe - closed after 103 performances.
I didn't see the Broadway production, so I can't tell you what went wrong. But since I have seen the current production of "Gigi" being directed by Dale Gutzman at Off the Wall Theatre, I can state with certainty that Broadway ought to give this chestnut another look. »Read Full Article(2)

My DS is 3.5 months old. Until about 2 or 3 weeks ago he was a pretty good sleeper at night. Going to bed around 9:30-10:00 and waking once between 3:30 and 5:00 for a bottle and right back to sleep until 7:30. Now he has been still going to bed about 9:30 but waking around 12:30-1:30, and then every .5 hour to 1 hour thereafter. Finally give him a bottle around 3:30 and he only falls asleep after drinking a few onces. At first I tried giving him a bottle around the first or second waking but he just fell asleep while drinking it so I figured he wasn't hungry so I have been trying to sooth him and then give up around 3:30 and give him a bottle, which again he falls asleep while drinking. He is sleeping in a crib in our room. I swaddle him but he has been busting out lately. He seems to need his paci to go back to sleep also. But again, his sleep intervals don't last more than .5 to 1 hour, maybe longer sometimes. He is happy in the morning. Does usually fall asleep while I am giving him is morning bottle. The rest of his schedule is as follows: He gets his bottle shortly after waking from naps.
Wake between 6:30-7:30 -
Take bottle - 6 ounces/play time after
Nap around 9:00-11:30
Bottle 6 ounces/play time after
Nap 1:30-3:30 or 4:00 (this nap also is a problem lately, consistently waking up and needs paci of rocking to go back to sleep but doesn't last long)
Bottle 6 ounces/play time after
Nap 6:00-7:00
5 ounce bottle/play time after
8:30 begin bed routine bath and bottle - give him a 3 ounce bottle and nurse until he is done. Usually falls alseep about 2 ounces into the bottle and have to wake him to eat more.
He is a happy baby while awake. Laughs and smiles all the time. Not sure what is going on with sleep. HArd to know what is going on since he is not fussy while awake but seems to fuss while sleeping. ANy advice greatly appreciated. Oh he gets both formula and breastmilk. I work during the day and pump and he usually gets a 50/50 bottle. I am able to pump enough for 50/50. Thanks again.

After d&c pains & thrush
Comments (2)
I'm so sorry for your loss. I haven't heard of many D&Cs taking place so far along. I just had my D & C 12 days ago and developed an infection following the procedure. I wasn't in a lot of pain after the surgery but had a high fever and horrible headache and after testing they realized it was an infection (luckily the ultrasound confirmed no remaining tissue). I had heavy bleeding and terrible cramps right after taking the antibiotics, but now I'm pretty much back to normal. I would call your doctor just to run it past him/her. They may want to do a few tests just make sure there is no remaining tissue that needs to come out.
Hope you feel better soon! ((HUGS))

Last night's thunderstorm in Sweetwater produced high winds that caused the destruction of a Sweetwater family's home after the winds blew down their trailer on the corner of Coke and Louisiana.
Three people lived in the house but were not home at the time and no injuries were reported. William Lybarger says that his family has lived in the home for 10 years.
The trailer home was paid off, but the family had no insurance on the home. The family's neighbors hope to set up a benefit bank account for the family.

Rock, paper scissors, ONOS!
Hey everyone, I wanted to discuss damage types in NS2 briefly, and it's a bit much to discuss properly for tweet.
Posted by TychoCelchuuu on Jun 6th, 2010
Hey everyone, I wanted to discuss damage types in NS2 briefly, and it's a bit much to discuss properly for tweet.
Damage types are standard and crucial in strategy games. Ie, this unit does 10 damage to armored targets, but only 7 damage to everything else. This creates much more interesting unit combinations and tactics. For example:
At this point, the combinations start to explode. What appeared to be a simple battle is now becoming something much more - we have ambushes, planning, scouting (counter-planning), etc. Where does the rabbit hole end? This emergent depth is one of the big reasons we play strategy games.
By contrast, without variable damage types (payoffs), everything just does damage and there is little maneuvering, tactics or interest. I just build more and better units and so do you. They fight, and whomever built more wins.
But there's a down-side of course - adding these damage types makes the game more difficult to learn and understand. Which targets are armored? How can I see the damage bonus at work? When my army meets your army and mine gets decimated because I didn't realize my units only do half damage to yours, I may get frustrated and leave. For this reason, and because most FPS players aren't thinking in terms of damage types (and don't want to have to read online to see why their one-shot sniper shot didn't kill their target), damage types are largely omitted in FPS games.
For a game that blends RTS and FPS like NS though, damage types are a must. The thing to remember is that damage types will bring all the depth and less of the difficulty if you strive to make them intuitive. This means checking the 'look' of creatures and weapons and trying to be faithful to how players THINK they should fare against each other.
Here are some of the goals for damage types in NS2:
There are more, but these are the basics. With these in mind, here are the basic damage types that are currently in NS2 (in development, not final):
Here are some beneficial effects of these simple types:
Thinking about damage types in this way is also a good tool for evaluating a new weapon or ability. If it seems to fit the same role as another, its role needs to be re-thought.
In fact, now I see some changes that are necessary...

Rock, paper scissors, ONOS!
you forgot lizard and Spock
The big bang theory ftw!
There better be an onos devour as an option. Onos was the best class when you could just devour someone. If people get all pissy about taking to long to be digested. Make it something as simple as, 'Wait to be rescued or press E to end the pain quickly.' The only problem with dieing quickly would be the Onos gets your HP fast but still must fully digest it's prey being the marine.
i think they said no devour in ns2... check the official site, they listed all the abilities of the onos. I think there's gore, a duck/shield/huddle ability (absorbs damage at cost of moving slowly), and stomp (which affects structures only now).
It's kind of retarded that your defenseless in the first place. You didn't loose your weapon while he ate you so you should be able to shoot your way out.
They should give you a knife or something so you can knife the onos in the struggle, maybe really make it vulnerable while devouring a marine (being stabbed from the inside isn't good whilst your in a battle against marines).
very nice, I love strategy and proper damage balance (many games fail to understand how to make weapons different and yet still relevant)
I don't really think this is really something new. Onos already do double damage against building, HMG do half damage to buildings, gas have no effect on heavy armor, etc, in NS1.
All classes are epic and are of my interest!
Looks amazing
It's a solid idea.. should work out pretty damn well!
rock paper scissors shoot
Would those wings look cooler if they were translucent?
Not sure why the Pistol is armor piercing but not the Rifle.
"Heavy (was Puncture) - Extra damage vs. armor (Fade swipe, Pistol, Shotgun)"
Agreed, unless the pistol is in fact a magnum. Boom baby!
Because the pistol is big, bulky, and spews giant death bullets. The rifle decided it wanted to spray moar bullets.
Obviously nobody's played NS2 yet, but I've played NS extensively, and I wanna suggestion that gas at least have a little bit of effect on heavies.
The dynamics in NS were such that aliens are obviously inferior to marines in lategame when both sides are highly skilled.
I hope that you guys actually dont go to much into the Rock Paper Scissors system like. "Unarmored targets take 1 dmg from Rockets but armored targets take 50 from Rockets" Kind of make it so some things are better at something else but can still do that job just not as effectively.
Glad you guys have a nice idea going! :D

A Review of "Dearie," the Story of Julia Child's Insatiable Appetite for Life
By Jennie Yabroff
Julia Child taping a TV show in her kitchen; photo courtesy Smithsonian Institution Archives
At the age of thirty, Julia McWilliams was adrift. SheŌĆÖd squandered an elite education at boarding schools and Smith College, and had struggled to find meaningful work in the decade since college. SheŌĆÖd suffered a broken heart, but remained unattached. She was a bottle rocket of enthusiasm for life, but lacked an outlet for her energy. Perhaps, she thought, politics was her calling, and a job in Washington led her to an administrative position with the Office of Strategic Servies (OSS) in Ceylon. In Ceylon she met her future husband Paul Child, and through Paul, she discovered her lifeŌĆÖs passion: food.
As Bob Spitz writes in ŌĆ£Dearie,ŌĆØ┬Āhis biography of the woman who became such a force in American food culture her kitchen is preserved in the Smithsonian, ŌĆ£Julia Child was huge.ŌĆØ At six foot three, with strong bone structure and an ample chin, she was physically imposing, but her personality was even larger. Her singular hooting, fluting voice, her saucy sense of humor, her endless appetite for hard work, and her genius instinct for self-promotion made her a natural star. In ŌĆ£Dearie,ŌĆØ published this month in conjunction with the centennial of her birth,┬ĀSpitz shows that while she had a bone-deep, lifelong love of food, her greatest natural gift was not with a paring knife, but with a TV camera.
Child was not an instinctive cook. Early attempts in the kitchen were disasters (due in part to poorly written, overly vague recipes) and her love of eating didnŌĆÖt translate into a discriminating palate, at first. It was only when she was overseas with the OSS, first in Ceylon, then China, that she began educating herself (with Paul ChildŌĆÖs help) about what tasted good, and why. After she married Paul and the couple was transferred to Paris, she began her gustatory education in earnest, spending most of PaulŌĆÖs salary going to restaurants before enrolling in the Cordon Bleu cooking school, where, through dint of sheer hard work and countless hours in the kitchen, she transformed herself into a respectable home chef.
If youŌĆÖve seen the movie Julie & Julia┬Āor read ChildŌĆÖs memoir, ŌĆ£My Life in France,ŌĆØ┬Āthe Paris section of SpitzŌĆÖs book will be familiar, but it is still thrilling to read as Child, by then in her mid-thirties, finally comes into her own, deeply in love with Paul, Paris, and French food. At the Cordon Bleu, she steamrolls an anti-American administrator who wonŌĆÖt let her take the professional course, and charms nearly everyone else she meets. What begins as a three-way collaboration on a book of classic French recipes turns into┬ĀMastering the Art of French Cooking,┬Āwith Julia, predictably, stealing the show. The details of the endless publishing headaches and contract negotiations can drag the narrative in this section, but serve to illuminate how skeptical publishers were at the time about American readersŌĆÖ appetite for a serious, detailed, complicated cookbook. By comparison, a popular recipe for┬Ācoq au vin┬Āin a best-selling cookbook of the era was 24 words long and had five ingredients. The┬ĀMastering┬Ārecipe took up four pages.
Spitz really hits his stride once Child starts taping the free-spirited cooking demonstrations for WGBH in Boston that would eventually become her iconic show,┬ĀThe French Chef.┬ĀChild was an instant, if unlikely, star: ŌĆ£There was something intrinsically genuine about this anti-personality, this plain-looking, enormously appealing character in a boxy cotton blouse,ŌĆØ he writes. She wasnŌĆÖt perky like Rachael Ray, or sultry like Padma Lakshmi, or hyper like Emeril Lagasse, but from day one, Child presented herself as a brand, presaging the era of personality-based TV ŌĆ£food stars.ŌĆØ According to Spitz, this was less due to calculated image grooming on ChildŌĆÖs part than the result of her naturally oversized personality finding its match in the medium.
After┬ĀThe French Chef┬Āhad run its course, several other books and TV shows followed, some more successful than others (one debacle had Child holding court in a flowing caftan and heavy makeup). Despite ailing health and the devastating loss of her beloved Paul, Child continued to work nonstop throughout her eighties, and kept her enthusiasm for food until the very end, having friends sneak her milkshakes and other forbidden foods when she was in the hospital in her final days. ŌĆ£DearieŌĆØ is a compelling portrait of how Child changed the America cooked, and ate, but itŌĆÖs also a chronicle of one womanŌĆÖs insatiable appetite for life.

Guild: Hand of Ulric
Server: Ostermark: Core-RP
Faction: Order
Website: www.handofulric.com
Welcome to the Hand of Ulric guild.
We do ask you read the history of Ulric: God of Wolves, Battle, and Winter. If you have any questions please direct them to Illuminatia (in game) and I will help as best that I can.
Our end goal is to coordinate Keep Sieging, Scenarios and group based RVR where we can cooperate though a vent server.
I hope you enjoy your experience with us. Stick with us and in time we will be a grand guild.
Ulric: God of Wolves, Battle, and Winter.
Ulric is the God of battle and destruction, the patron of the wolves and the spirit of Winter. Most scholars understand him to the brother of Taal. Ulric is portrayed as a massive warrior alike in form and armament to the barbarians who founded the Empire: his long hair flows unbound; his thick, black beard is silvered by hoar frost; on his back is a silver-grey wolf-skin cloak. He wields a giant two-handed hammer and goes into battle without a helm to show his bravery. Ulric is also represented from time top time as a huge silver-grey wolf. He despises weakness, cowardice, and trickery, and expects his followers to always take the direct approach to solving a problem.
Ulric was the patron God of the Teutogens, one of the twelve great Human Tribes an d the people from whom Sigmar himself sprang. Like his God, Sigmar wielded a two-handed hammer and went into battle without a helm. After many adventured, Sigmar eventually unified the tribes into the Empire. Since then, the state religion of the Empire has become the cult of Sigmar, supplanting Ulric's place of importance in the Empire.
The Symbol of Ulric is the wolf; wolf-head medallions are worn by many of his followers, and the design is also used as a decoration on weapons and armour. Some followers of Ulric wear wolf-skins as cloaks. Priests wear black robes with white wolf-head emblems on the breast and trimmed with wolf-skin.
Dedicated worshippers of Ulric usually go unshaven and do not trim their hair, as that they might be as close in likeness to Ulric as possible.
Areas of Worship
Ulric is mainly venerated in the north of the Empire and Middenland in particular, but his cult is also found in other parts of the Old World, especially among warriors. Knightly orders, soldiers, mercenaries and most anyone who fights for a living will have a shrine dedicated to Ulric near them at all times.
In Middenheim particularly, the cult of Ulric is the dominant force, both politically and spiritually. Only there is a cult highly organized, with massive temples and complexes housing thousands upon thousands of clergy and other cult members. Only there in the empire does Ulric easily eclipse the importance of Sigmar; Ulric is the most common name for boys in Middenheim, and most men there go unshaven as a sign of devotion.
While professional warriors throughout the Old World pray to Ulric, often on a daily bases, these sorts of folk rarely rely on temples or clergy to communicate with their God. While it is true, therefore, that the highly organized cult of Ulric is limited to Middenhiem, let there be no mistake: Ulric is a powerful and important God, prayed to by every man or woman who has to do battle. In the Old World, sooner or later, that is everyone.
Ulric is considered to be indifferent. He is a distant, harsh, and unforgiving God, who expects his followers to stand on their own two feet, putting their faith in martial prowess.
Devout worshippers of Ulric abide by the following strictures. Initiates, Priests or templars who violate these strictures may lose their abilities.
*Obey your betters.

Vegans may be particularly prone to diets low in long chain omega-3 fatty acids (i.e. DHA & EPA) unless they are careful.
DHA is a long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 oil. It is an essential fatty acid' meaning that the body doesn't produce it by itself and it must be obtained in the diet. DHA is one of the prominent essential fatty acids in the brain and in the retina.
Omega-3 Oils DHA & EPA may also help cardiovascular health. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
The DHA in Vegan DHA Softgels comes from algae which has been grown on land using drinkable water against the risk of oceanic contamination. The softgels are made from non-animal materials as well.

Star defensive end Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) appears is questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, but his injury is less severe than what some might have feared when he left last week's game against the Panthers. Dumervil has a history of pectoral issues, so the look of an upper-body injury is always frightening with him. Meanwhile, the status of Atlanta linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (ankle) is still in the air, as he missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but there's been no mention of a high-ankle sprain diagnosis, and so he should be nearing a return after missing two games already with the injury. Ahtyba Rubin (calf) appears ready to make his return for the Brown after missing three games with the ailment. He should pair well with 2011 first-round pick Phil Taylor, a fellow mountain on the interior who is making his return from a torn pectoral muscle that cost him the first DERP weeks. There's less clarity regarding the status of Detroit defensive end Cliff Avril, who ...

Andy Masterton, who is in the final stages of motor neurone disease, was told by East Ayrshire Council that he applied too early for the benefit.
The local authority said the benefit was only for people who were four weeks from death at the point at which they were referred.
It has now said it will waive the charges.
Currently, only over-65s are entitled to free help with washing and dressing.
Guidance from the Council of Scottish Local Authorities recommends that people under 65 should be given free personal care if they have a terminal illness.
Councillor Douglas Reid, leader of East Ayrshire Council, said: "Eddie Fraser, our director of health and social care, has confirmed that, for Mr Masterton, this will mean an end to charges being applied for his care."

Smart Stay Hotel StationMunich, Germany
I booked a single room for one night, I spend so little time in the hostel I can't say much about it. The room was quite clean and the rest room was inside (loved it!) The only bad thing was at night when it got very loudy. Maybe it is worth putting thicker window glasses?!?
Euro Youth HostelMunich, Germany
I stayed there just one night but it was very comfortable. Finally a Hostel with a bathroom inside the bedroom. Great location very close to the main station, kind staff.
Rivoli Cinema HostelPorto, Portugal
It was very nice staying at the Rivoli Cinema Hostel. Friendly and helpful staff, perfect location in the center of Porto (sometimes a bit too loud, too). My room was not so big, but comfortable. The toilet is divided from the showers, but there is just one for girls in the whole first floor - the only thing which was a bit uncomfortable. Very nice the free breakfast in the morning, with coffee, bread, butter, jam, and cakes!
Hostel 33Faro, Portugal
My stay there was very nice. Very close to the train and bus station, and not far away from the center. From there I could travel a lot and visit other small cities and beaches in Algarve. Staff was always nice, they are mainly international guys working and living there. They created a nice and friendly atmosphere. My room was clean and comfortable, the 6 bed mixed dorm. When there are more people in the hostel it could be very loud because it is in front of the main door and the reception.
Sevilla Dream HostelSeville, Spain
This hostel is very old and not very close to the city center. I booked there because I had to take a bus from the bus station, which is just 10 min away from the hostel. To go to the city center, I almost got lost in the small streets of that part of the city. But the city is wonderful and it was worth the stay. My room had a bad smell and the bathroom has two doors, the other one gets into another dorm, which was loud at night..even if you try to be as silent as possible.
Feel Hostels Soho MalagaMalaga, Spain
My stay at the hostel was nice. It was good because I came by train and it took just 10 min walking to get to the hostel. It is not far away from the city center either. From there I walked to the bus station and got to Granada just for one day. I stayed in the 6 bed female dorm and the room was quite comfortable. On my floor there were just 2 bathrooms, and from the one right in front of my room came a bad smell, which doesn't go away by cleaning, I guess. The staff was kind.
Jaeger's MunichMunich, Germany
I had a nice room with bathroom (only one toilet and one shower for 6 persons though), the staff was friendly and the atmosphere nice and relaxed. Good breakfast, but I had something to put in the fridge and it was not possible, so I had to throw it away. Perfect location, I would definitely recommend it and book there again next time in Munich!
Babelfish Hostel WürzburgWurzburg, Germany
Very good location, just in front of the main station. Friendly staff and worthy breakfast, not too expensive! Only the kitchen was a bit dirty but I didnt need to use it. I surely recommed it!
Comics GuesthouseRome, Italy
Perfect location, just 5 minutes away from the metro station Lepanto, in the heart of Rome. Kind staff, they waited for me because I came after 22h. Old furnitures and beds, but I liked the big bathroom in my room. No breakfast and no towels, but I didn't pay much for one night so it was still worth it.
Tattva Design HostelPorto, Portugal
cozy, clean and with a friendly atmosphere! The position is also good, I came by bus and it takes just 5 minutes walking!

Meet the Chef
Chef Sally Yu
Executive Chef Sally Yu leads an eclectic and fast-paced career in the hospitality restaurant industry. Chef's Sally's passion for food stems from her father, renowned Chef Ho Fat Yu. As a native San Diegan, Chef Sally Yu has come to Jasper's excited to embellish her skills in the ever-evolving San Francisco food scene.
At the young age of 21, Sally opened a restaurant of her own. Chef Sally then followed other opportunities including: a private chef position for a prominent family, catering high-end events, and working in prominent restaurants around the country. A life-changing event led to a renewed love of baking and pastries for Sally — her story was discovered by the Director of the TV show, "Amazing Race," Evan Weinstein, who at the time was developing a feel-good series of food competitions. The name of the pilot was called The Big Time. Chef Sally proudly placed second. Following this, she traveled and toured with the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil's Totem as Head Chef. Chef Sally's globally inspired creative style ranges from savory to sweet. She attributes this to her world travels with Cirque du Soleil. Now that Sally is back on U.S. soil, she will play an integral part of our restaurant as Executive Chef.
When Chef Sally is not working, you'll find her enjoying her spare time searching for vintage cookbooks, enjoying wine and music, combing through local farmer's markets, and cooking and eating with her family and friends.
"I feel as chefs, we have the responsibility to not only help feed, but to also provide education. One of the reasons I love food so much is because of the impact it has made to many of us at different stages of our lives. Our memories and cultures are rooted and tied to food. Food is defined as universal love in my eyes. I am lucky to be able to create love, as I see it, for others to experience and enjoy."
-Chef Sally Yu
The Story of Jasper's Corner Tap and Kitchen,
a San Francisco Union Square American Restaurant
The Legend of Jasper O'Farrell
Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen is home and namesake to Jasper O'Farrell, the man who named and built such streets of San Francisco as Market, Lombard, Pine and O'Farrell. For all intents, he largely constructed the city as we currently know it today.
Jasper was an Irish immigrant with a grand view of what this City by the Bay could be. A social man, he wanted to create a wondrous promenade that would bring the city together around trade, commerce, meals, and most importantly, drink! It is in the spirit of this remarkable innovator that we named Jasper's, with the inspiration of creating something worth bringing the streets of San Francisco together over once again. Join us this St. Patrick's Day in raising a glass to this amazing city and one of the brave Irish pioneers who helped sculpt it!

It's impossible to make it big as a Barbers in the United States; the average employee scrapes together only around $30K per year. Pay generally varies between $17K and $51K per year. Experience level and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. For the most part, Barbers enjoy their work and report high levels of job satisfaction. The majority of Barbers (63 percent) who took the survey are men. Medical benefits are awarded to roughly one in six, and less than one-tenth earn dental coverage. The data for this snapshot was collected from individuals who took PayScale's salary survey.

Barbers perform haircuts and offer styling and other related services to their clients. Typically, the term "barber" is used for a percentage of male hair stylists, and still generally refers to men's hair styling, shaving, and similar processes. Barbers are typically customer-friendly individuals who interact and converse with clients while taking care of their hair needs. As such, many clients return again and again to the same barbershops, and good barbers typically make their facilities something of a hub for friendship and conversation within their respective communities.Read More...
First and foremost, a barber must be skilled at cutting hair and understanding his customer's wishes to do so in a timely manner. As some barbers do not offer services such as shampooing and conditioning, many customers now prefer to do so before proceeding to the cut. Barbers not only use clippers and scissors, but also items such as straight razors which are not so common in other stylist salons. Many barbers use these razors in both shaving and hair-grooming for customers.
Barbers must also maintain their work space throughout the day by sweeping, ensuring proper sanitization of hair-cutting tools, and other cleaning procedures. Many barbers also stock hair care products and ensure that all stock is replenished and visible for sale to clients.
To work as a barber, a person will typically attend a barber or styling school after high school. Barber schools often provide training emphasis on male-specific hair care and styling needs, including shaving and razor techniques. Barbers may work regular hours with or without weekend shifts, and some shops may be open at night, as well. Barbers should expect to spend most of their workday standing or walking.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $29K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $30K. For Barbers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $31K. Folks who claim more than 20 years of relevant experience actually report a comparatively lower median income of $29K.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 12/28/12
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. They came. They ate. They conquered. Again. For the second consecutive year, Wisconsin's football team devoured its opponent not literally, thankfully on Friday night at the Lawry's Beef Bowl, an annual tradition between the two teams competing in the Rose Bowl. Much like years past, the carnivore carnage was colossal. According to official scorers, Wisconsin's bulky bunch belied up and ate 619 pounds of prime rib as a team to edge Stanford, which ate 602 pounds of meat. Unlike the odds for this year's Rose Bowl, Wisconsin entered the Beef Bowl at Lawry's Prime Rib Restaurant as a considerable favorite. Last year, Wisconsin put away Oregon by eating 723 pounds of prime rib compared to the Ducks' 612 pounds. In 2010, TCU edged Wisconsin 670-650. You can call Wisconsin the princes of prime rib or the masters of meat. But recent history suggests the Badgers' reign may not necessarily translate to a victory on the football field. In the past two years, Wisc...

If that potted lavender, geranium, bougainvillea or similar tender plant that you're overwintering inside has sent out spindly new shoots, keep trimming it back until the increased sunlight can support sturdier growth.
If you keep any kind of gardening journal, dig it out now and refresh your memory about what worked and what didn't work last year. Read notes you took at garden visits and gardening workshops to give you ideas of plants and techniques you may want to try this year. If you don't have a gardening journal, just designate a small notebook as a place to collect your thoughts and wish lists. I simply have a folder for each year that I tuck notes in during the year, (such as ideas for next year's vegetable garden, and what varieties I want to try), as well as plant lists, receipts (to know what I bought), and maps of what I planted and where.
If you want to have the best selection of plants ready to go into the ground when you're ready to plant, place plant orders early. The selection dwindles the longer you wait, especially for new and unusual varieties. Some very tiny seeds such as begonias need to be sown in winter. Others, such as the new All-America winning coneflower PowWow Wild Berry, need to be sown the end of January in order to bloom the first year from seed.

Few of us would argue that such thoughts render someone a moral degenerate—or even as grievously ignorant.
Woodson went on to decry those "corrupt" black politicians who were responsible for this as "moral traitors."
At the same time, Davis has always focused on the moral shift that made slavery suddenly seem problematic.
mid-14c., "pertaining to character or temperament" (good or bad), from Old French moral (14c.) and directly from Latin moralis "proper behavior of a person in society," literally "pertaining to manners," coined by Cicero ("De Fato," II.i) to translate Greek ethikos (see ethics) from Latin mos (genitive moris) "one's disposition," in plural, "mores, customs, manners, morals," of uncertain origin. Perhaps sharing a PIE root with English mood (1).
Meaning "morally good, conforming to moral rules," is first recorded late 14c. of stories, 1630s of persons. Original value-neutral sense preserved in moral support, moral victory (with sense of "pertaining to character as opposed to physical action"). Related: Morally.
"moral exposition of a story," c.1500, from moral (adj.) and from French moral and Late Latin morale.

Cartoon Summary:
Welcome to Yopougon, a working-class neighborhood of Abidjan in the late 70s, renamed Yop City – to sound like an American movie ! This is home to Aya and her two friends, adjoua and Bintou. The're 19-years-old, a time in your life when everything seems possible. But while Aya would like to become a doctor one day, her friends are more into nightclunning at the locaol "maquis" and hunting for a husband. Around this dynamic trio, we cross characters with diverse destinies like Ignace, Aya's runaround father who juggles several "offices", Moussa, the son of the powerful Bonaventure Sissoko who counts on his Toyota to pick up girls. There's also Fanta and Koro, the mothers who try to protect their daughters. Or Grégoire, the "Parisian" who bloaws his cash at the famous hotel Ivoire.
A true chorale comedy, Aya of Yop City is a chronicle of an unexpected Africa, modern and urban.

My peg was too short though, so im going to need another longer threaded peg for the stand to rest on when its up. I spaced it out correctly but maybe the 2011 690 Rs had a minor change in the bottom part of the frame thickness. I don't know.
Removed the stock skid
Cleaned the frame up
Took out the first brake bolt
I then put some anti-sieze on the hinges to prevent premature rust from happening. Grease would also work.
Fitted the hinges back on
I put the springs on and was having the hardest time getting them on! Don't put them on this way. Put them on where the longer end of the spring faces the rear of the bike.
This way the way I put the springs on. Easier to fit.
Stand up!
OK this bolt was way too short for my bike. I had the two nuts on the bottom and the spacer on top of those. When I put the bolt through it barely stuck out of the top and I couldn't thread it. Lost Dog, do you think you could send me a longer bolt with rubber mount?
Other than that, no complains at all and seems like a great centerstand. Thanks!
Dang ! I purchase the threaded studs by the bag and then I screw the threaded stud into the rubber stop with a little lock-tite on it. We can do one of three things. The stud will unscrew and that is a 1/4-28 threaded rod that you can buy at any hardware store and do one that is longer. Or e-mail
so I send it to the correct customer. I just checked my stock of threaded studs and they are 2" long. Is that the same as what you have? I need to check this out. Thank you for posting this and now I know to double check those studs. - Martin

This Weeks Review: Kick- Ass the Comic and the Movie!
First off...One of my favorite things about reading literature is seeing it through the eyes of my own imagination. But not just through my eyes alone but seeing it through other's eyes as well. That is why I LOVE to read stuff before the cinematic incarnation of the printed ink is made.
I remember reading through V for Vendetta and Watchmen then catching the director's take on the old Mad Moore's Masterpieces. I loved Frank Miller's 300 and was majorly jazzed years later that a film incarnation would ever be made based page for page from the novel. Even with a few frustrating yet still entertaining changes thrown in the film was just as rewarding as the comic. Not all of them have been gems, I remember scrambling to finish Michael Crichton Book "Sphere" before it was an all star cast motion picture only to hate not just the last few chapters of the book but also watch the boring part of the novel painful portrayed on the big screen.
Now as much as I love reading the source material, I'm not one of those purest who thinks the film can never be made into a movie unless it drips every comic panel and or word from the source material. I for one have seen films that are ten times better as a movie than they ever where as a piece of literature. The biggest example for me would be the movie The Crow; which would happen to be my all time favorite adaptation of a comic. James O'Barr's popular but overly dark graphic novel was not nearly as tender and sentimental as its film counterpart. The fact that director Alex Proyas bothered to not only name the title character but give him a heart as well, Elevated the essence of the story even greater than the source material.
So when it comes to Kick-Ass my nerd need to read the source material first was no exception. But it almost didn't happen. I cut it pretty close. I read the last few pages the day before the film came out. So…what did I think? I rather enjoyed the comic more than I thought. At First, I was apprehensive to read Millar's comic. In the past I've found Millar's need to be a little more violent in a Nihilistic way to be at the very best distracting and unnecessary for the usually cool premise to work. Which is why I was not a big fan of the comic Wanted; which I feel is the comic equivalent to Vanity Fair (the novel without a hero not the magazine). I didn't really like any of the characters at all. But the movie was good …heh.
Back to Kick-Ass! As I started reading I was pleasantly surprised. Yes it was violent and not for young kids…but the lead character was relatable and the proper amount of Nerdtastic to hold my interest. Once more as a comic, It did not try to take itself too seriously and though it had a lot of blood it was the kind of over the top blood one finds in zombie George Romero movie. To me it was not at all realistic to me. Its pop cultural references and its self-awareness to the comic genre were very refreshing to read. Not only was the comic somewhat warning its readers of the craziness of dressing up as a pajama wearing vigilante but it also gave us the over the top fun of the Super Hero world.
Now for the movie, I liked it. I liked it as much as the comic. It had all the same kinds of things the comic had and even toned down the violence a little so as to allow for the story to unfold even more. Could I do without the vulgar Hit-Girl..sure but I think the whole thing should not be taken so seriously. It was fun.
So how does it compare to other comic film incarnations? Well, it's way better than any Fantastic Four film but not nearly as good as Iron Man or The Dark Knight. Yeah, that's a pretty big gap. So it's more between Wanted (the film) and yet not as good as Watchmen (the film or the comic).
In the end, I just want my art, whether in book, comic or celluloid form to be Good. Kick-Ass (the film) gets 3.40 paws out of 5.
But what do you all Think?

I would imagine that you are going to find yourself on some pretty desolate roads in the near future. While you may not plan to drive at night, it probably will happen. I would seriously consider a pair of offroad lights up front. Even an inexpensive ($50) pair of Hella 500's will out-perform those sealed beams about eleventy billion times over.
Also with the added stress of the electronics you've added and dual batteries, did you upgrade the charging system? the stock Yota alternator was barely capably of keeping up with the stock truck.

Wow! We had a great response to our first post. I am glad you guys are enjoying our adventure. I know in our last post we said that the Sierras and Death Valley is some of the majestic scenery in all of the U.S. I think I need to keep my mouth shut because the past 7 days of traveling the "4 Corners" area of the U.S. has been AMAZING.
The Colorado Plateau is a geographic region of the U.S which covers over 130,000 sq miles of land shared between Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. This area has the greatest concentration of National Parks in the U.S and it is easy to see why. Developed over billions of years and uplifted and modified by faults and receding oceans this area is chock full of geological, ecological, and historical splendor. We had a blast.
Leaving Las Vegas!
Our night in Vegas was spent mostly holed up in our room enjoying the HEAT! and updating the blog. We did make it down for a few drinks and some midway games at Circus Circus
Lauren won a Rhino, He got some free drinks
Headed up to St. George, Utah and camped off some forest road.
Our first taste of red dirt
Snow Canyon State Park, St. George Utah
Since leaving the Bay, we have been having overheating issues, the thermostat on the truck has been malfunctioning. I had read about this issue in the past happening with your standard Autozone thermostats and knew it was fixed by getting the expensive Toyota OEM dual-stage thermostat.
$45 later and 1/2 gallon of coolant onto the NAPA parking lot and we were fixed up, issue solved, no more overheating.
Off to the Grand Canyon! We read about a 90-mile backroad from St. George to a remote area of the Grand Canyon National Park called the "Toroweap Overlook". Talked to a few people in town who said that it would be snowed and we would not be able to make it up and over the Mount Trumball pass. We're used to naysayers and of course headed off anyway, the 4runner could make it.
Sunset on the Toroweap Rd.
Nightfall hit by the time we made up to the mountain pass, It was covered in snow and mud, I had a blast mashing through it all in 2 wheel drive, slipping and sliding all over the place and making a big ol' mess of the truck.
Eventually made it to the campground, setup shop and went to sleep. Awoke in the morning completely alone and surrounded by the majesty of the red rocks and Grand Canyon.
Headed out on a hike to the Toroweap Overlook, no one around for miles but us and the canyon. No guardrails, no tourists, just the way we like it.
Played around in the Canyon for a while, then headed off again back to Utah. Headed to Zion National Park.
Spotted some Coyotes
We arrived in Zion in the middle of the night, awoke surrounded by huge canyon walls and beautiful CLEAR weather! Something we have been lacking most of the trip.
Spent most of the day hiking around Zion, then headed off to explore more of Southern Utah.
Headed to Bryce Canyon. Amazing Scenery of course.
Bryce Canyon was pretty well snowed out when we got there, Still checked it out.
Spent most of the time running out the overlook then back to the car, was about 30F outside at the time! Too cold for this Florida boy.
From Bryce we headed down another backroad towards Capitol Reef National Park, sun went down and we setup another freezing camp. Awoke in the morning to frost covering the truck once again and dreary cloud cover.
The beautiful dirt road through Capitol Reef made up for the weather. This is a great drive and there was no one out here but us. We enjoyed taking our time cruising through this beautiful place.
Eventually the dirt road led us to Glen Canyon National Recreation area, which is home to most of Lake Powell. Similar to Hetch Hetchy in the Sierras, a environmental tragedy took place here where we dammed up the Colorado River and flooded the majestic Glen Canyon to increase water supply to the surrounding area. The created reservoir was named Lake Powell after one of my heroes.
We hit the highway once again and headed towards the 4x4'er mecca. AKA MOAB, UTAH!
Got to Moab in the middle of the night, shacked up in a cheap motel. I thought I had heard some strange noises coming from our trash bag we had been carrying since Grand Canyon. Messed around for a bit with it and didn't see anything, figured I was just crazy. Next morning Lauren is doing Yoga and hears the same noises coming from the bag. We snatched it up and dumped it into the bathtub to investigate.
Screaming like little girls and dancing around the room in our underwear trying to catch him but he ended up escaping somewhere in the motel room. Sorry Motel6!
Now that our adrenaline was pumping it was time to go beat on the truck some. We headed to the "Poison Spider 4x4 Trail" to try our luck and see how far we could make it. Lauren has never been 4wheeling before and was pretty much peeing her pants the entire time as we drove all over this place. The 4Runner with little 31 inch tires and open differentials is still a pretty capable machine.
After mashing around in Moab for most of the day we were headed up to Grand Junction, CO. An awesome guy from MarlinCrawler forums had offered to help us fix up a few issues with the truck that we did not have the tools or knowledge to tackle ourselves.
Drove around Colorado National Monument looking for a campspot, eventually found some dirt road that we took, kept getting higher and higher into the mountain. Eventually we were driving through deep snow in the middle of no where, figured we should turn around. Well the rear wheels dropped into a icy rut and we were stuck. 30 minutes of winching later we were turned around and headed back down the road. The Smittybuilt winch is no longer a virgin and it worked like a champ!
Next morning headed over to Phillip's shop in Grand Junction. The shops name is Karnage Fabrication, Phillip knows Toyota's like the back of his hand. He has owned over 50 of them and had ours torn apart and fixed back up in no time. This guy was a lifesaver, The Toyota community is an great group and I feel honored to have met such an awesome guy and his beautiful family. We replaced the oil pan cork gasket with the proper sealant, fixed up a leaky inner shat oil seal, and replaced the failing AUTO hubs with some beefy AISIN manual hubs. Thanks again Phil, you are our hero! And Thanks to Sean and Ace for grabbing some much needed parts. It was great to meet all of you!
Lauren and Phil's daughter became bestest of friends.
4x4 Fabrication/Arts and Crafts. Karnage Fabrication has it all!
Headed off today for Vail to meet up with one of my dad's old friends. Speaking of which… I should probably get on the horn and let him know were coming!

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching we had to step our game up. No more dilly dallying! We still have a few obligations to our parental units to uphold and one of them was Thanksgiving dinner in Florida. Unfortunately this means we had to pick up the pace from Colorado to Florida in order to hit our deadline. We missed a lot of great stuff and look forward to coming back someday to revisit lots of sites along the way. Luckily we have lots of friends along the way to stop in and crash for the night. Less camping shots on this post.
Heading out from Moab towards Colorado. We stopped off in Beaver Creek, CO to visit an old friend. Tommy is one of my dads best friends and basically an uncle to me and my brothers. It was great catching up with him and nice to get out of the cold for a bit. Tommy is a wild man, loves deep-sea diving, heli-skiing, dragracing, and basically raising hell. When I was younger he gave me my first job, let me get away with all my shenanigans, and was there to kick my ass when I needed it. A good guy indeed.
Beaver Creek, Nice little ski town. Still needs more snow to get pumping.
Fellow hellraisers
A little further up the mountain, Vail, CO had runs open and people skiing.
From Beaver Creek we stopped in Denver to see another old friend. We all call him Howie, I think his real name is Chris. But he has always been Howie to us. I met Howie back during my brief-stint with college. A lifetime friend and accomplice, how we got away with 1/2 the stuff we pulled I will never know. We stopped in unexpectedly and they were planning to go to a concert that night.
We tagged along planning to buy tickets and join them.
BOO! Sold out!
Oh well, old friends can still party down together; show or no show. We easily scalped his tickets. Howie and his girlfriend Courtney made a $50 profit! Headed across the street to imbibe for a bit .
Came back later to at least try to get a poster and discovered the box office selling some last minute tickets for $20 a pop! SCORE!
Had a blast at the show, made some new friends at Howies local watering hole, had a Taylor Swift karaoke contest (Dont ask!), and hit the hay.
Woke up hazy the next morning, headed over to the Red Rocks. Red Rocks is a naturally occurring amphitheater in the huge boulders/cliffs outside Denver. It is a beautiful place to see a concert, unfortunately they were closed for the season but you can still mill around the place and check it out.
Scooted down from Denver towards Texas. Stopped for the night and camped on some BLM land just outside of Great Sand Dunes National Park. Courtney had mentioned that we should come here and see the dunes.
Woke up in the AM and checked out the park. If I have not mentioned this yet, if you plan on visiting more than 2 or 3 National Parks a year it is definitely worth picking up an America: The Beautiful Annual Access pass. I have used this thing at least 20+ times this year, it is a one-time fee of $80 but it gets you into all National/Federal Parks/Monuments/Recreation/Seashore areas. I have saved around $300 in park fees so far this year by getting this pass. You can pick it up at any national park or order it online. It is a painless and quick process. Definitely worth it if you love our nations parks as much as we do.
Great Sand Dunes National Park contains the tallest sand dunes in North America. They have been swept down from the mountains across the San Luis Valley and pushed up against the edge of the Sangre De Cristo mountain range where they have grown and grown for ages.
Found a 4x4 road that took us along the backside of the dunes up into the mountain. Aside from Death Valley this is the only national park I have found that had legit 4x4 roads. We aired down and mashed around in the sand for a while.
After playing around in the sandbox we headed south again, down into New Mexico, camped out on some more BLM land somewhere near the Texas border. Caught a beautiful sunset then drifted off to sleep in the truck.
Eastbound and down, made it to TEXAS!
Lauren saw her first tumbleweed, it was a beast!
My grandfolks live in a small town near Grandbury, TX. My family has lived on this land since the civil war days. Stopped in for the night to say howdy. There are also lots of fossils and dinosaur artifacts in the area, we went to the state Dinosaur Park to check out some tracks.
Grandpa and I in front of the old stone house my grandma was born in. New roof upgrade obviously.
Dino footprint, unfortunately the river was muddy and we couldn't see most of the prints. Still pretty cool.
We had to hike quite a bit to get out to the footprints through some pretty rugged terrain. My grandparents are almost 80 and did it with no sweat. Its true! Everything is tougher in Texas. Love you guys!
Headed out from there, South bound. We could feel humidity starting to pick up in the air and finally started to shed some layers. Getting closer to home!!!
Stopped somewhere in Davey Crockett National Forest for night and caught another beautiful Texas sunset.
Woke among among the tall lanky southern pines of the forest. It got pretty humid overnite, rained a bit too. I have a big ol trucker fan that I need to hook up to help get a nice breeze going for these muggy nights.
Hit the highway, We were boogying now. Still decided to take the scenic route all through Southern Louisiana along the Gulf Coast. It had been almost 2 years since we have seen her waters.
Caught a ferry to get to the otherside of the canal, met a nice couple on the ferry who have traveled all around California to many of the same places we just came from. Was nice talking to you guys!
Things were starting to get familiar, spanish moss hangs lazily from swamp oaks.
This coastal drive was beautiful, we went through lots of little small towns which sadly had no remains of their original structures. Almost every single structure has been blown away in storms and replaced with mobile/prefabbed homes. I do admire the resilience of the people to return to the decimated area though.
Cajun Highrise
Stopped for the night with Laurens aunt in New Orleans, had some killer seafood for dinner and hung out with her soccer playing micro-dog, Dixie Deux
Headed out the next morning, cut to Alabama and drove down to Dauphine Island to take another coastal route along the Gulf Coast.
Caught another Ferry from Dauphine Island over to Gulf Shores.
Please make a U-Turn when possible!!
Pressing on through the night, we ran into a horrible thunderstorm, sheets of rain, and huge puddles. YEP, MUST BE
