Velvet Sky vs. Brooke Tessmacher
The match started with Sky taunting Tessmacher using her rear end, which Tenay called "the dancing cheeks," ugh. Tessmacher hit Sky with a monkey flip, but was thrown to the mat for a two count when she failed a second attempt. Tessmacher came back with a dropkick, and gave Sky the Stink Face in the corner. Tessmacher missed an attack in the corner, which allowed Sky to get a two count after a bulldog.
Tessmacher tried to sneak in a pinfall with a small package, but only a got a two count. She then hit Sky with a facebuster for the pin.
WINNER: Brooke Tessmacher via pinfall at 3:42
Kim came out and hit Tessmacher with the Knockouts Title. She proceeded to hit her with Eat Defeat, and taunted her.

TORONTO - DECEMBER 3: Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick #14 of the Buffalo Bills passes the ball during their NFL game against the New York Jets on December 3, 2009 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Jets defeated the Bills 19-13. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is the first to acknowledge he still faces questions about his consistency and mechanics. The rest of the qualities it takes to play the position - poise, toughness, respect and confidence - the Buffalo Bills starter has down pat, his teammates say. From the ability to take a big hit and play hurt, as he did overcoming a severe chest injury last season, to accepting pressure and blame, Fitzpatrick is right there. Whether it's taking his offensive linemen out to dinner or merely remembering a birthdate or a player's wife's first name, his actions have resonated through the locker room, as well. Center Eric Wood refers to Fitzpatrick as ''Our guy,'' and wouldn't trade him for anybody. Coach Chan Gailey goes one further, saying Fitzpatrick has the potential to win championships.

Welcome to Mears. Our vision is to make a positive difference to the communities we serve. We do this by improving homes, improving communities and improving lives. Our approach is based on the development of outstanding partnerships with employees, clients, tenants, customers, their families and the wider community.
What's New
The Commission on the Future of the Home Care Workforce
Good quality home care is essential to helping people live healthier and more independent lives. It is a key element in person-centred integrated health and social care.
The Commission, chaired by Paul Burstow MP, and supported by Mears and LGiU published its findings and recommendations for a home care workforce that is better skilled, better resourced and recognised for the vital contribution it makes.
Click here to read the report.
Thought Leader Newsletter
Mears has created the Thought Leader concept to discuss and roll-out best practice across a broad range of people who have an interest in meeting the challenges of providing more for less.
On April 1, the new Care Act came into force with the hope that it will make significant changes to social care in the UK. Will it have the desired effect? Campaigner and writer Beth Britton also shares some of her personal experience with her father's dementia and the relationship between care providers and families. Also read about how Telecare is constantly developing with the latest technologies.
Read a review of what role local authorities should play in meeting the housing needs of the local population. With budgets under pressure and the 2011 Localism Act changing the role that councils play, are partnerships the answer? For more than two decades, the gap between supply and demand has been fairly constant with more than 100,000 too few houses built each year. Is the new Government Planning Portal the answer to this problem?

Martin Lawrence reveals 'Bad Boys 3' script is almost done on 'Conan'Add to Favorites | Conan
It's been 11 years since "Bad Boys 2," but the world still wants another installment of the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence action series. Luckily, it sounds like that's becoming a reality.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Zap2it in April that a writer had been brought onto the project and now Lawrence had updated the progress. During an appearance on "Conan" Wednesday (Aug. 13), he was asked about the movie.
"I just talked to Jerry yesterday," Lawrence says. "He says it's real, they're working on the script and it's close." There's still no time frame on when the movie would actually start filming.
However, Lawrence may have an idea about how to get Conan O'Brien into the project. "You know what you could play is a crooked cop on crack," he jokes to the host. He'll just have to clear that idea with Smith and Bruckheimer first, which O'Brien explains, "in show business that's called a no."

Talking about Moscow's not very disguised invasion of Crimea, Hillary Clinton made the obvious comparison with Hitler's seizure of one piece of Europe after another in the 1930s: "Now if this sounds familiar," she told a fundraising luncheon out in California, "it's what Hitler did back in the 1930s. Hitler kept saying, 'They're not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.' "

-exercise room
-serious water hammer problems. At night whenever someone flushes toilet in nearby suite, kathump Kathump KATHUMP!!!
-not enough kitchen utensils, plates cups
-had to get replacement dishwasher rack (missing wheels), ice cube trays (cracked) etc. Guests should not need to do these maintenance checks.
-no bbq on balcony
-roof above sport court area shows leaks during rains (during a previous year it was leaking nearby above some stairs)
We had a one bedroom w/king and it was really nice to have the extra space.
The place felt more like a "motel" than a "hotel"... and the staff was mediocre.. also, I believe it is a "timeshare" facility? so, the check-in is REALLY long, there are LOTS of rules ( you are given special keys to trade for towels) and there are 4 people in the lobby whose sole job is to try and get you to sit down for the "timeshare" pitch ( in exchange for coupons)...
Perfect location and beautiful grounds. Try to get room with a balcony. Lovely during sunset and evening hours. Bed was very comfortable.
Room decor and upkeep was a bit shabby. The room wasn't very clean and the carpet was dirty. Hotel Construction was going on so check in was in a temporary building.
The staff was friendly and it's appreciated.
They need to improve the sound insulation between the rooms. The walls are paper thin and the floors are not concrete so unless you have a top floor room, you hear loud thumping sounds from the people above you walking around their room.
I loved the fact that it is only 5 minutes from the convention Center where we had to be all weekend. I also liked the fully stocked kitchen which we did take advantage of also. And that it fit 7 people comfortably in the room. Very quiet and clean
I guess I missed the part that you have to put a $150 deposit down as soon as you check in. They do nay have extra blankets so don't call to ask for any.
Just location.
hotel needs major remodeling , needs to be flipped upside down. Carpet worn and dirty furniture is old dirty room TV tube really? It's the 50's and what's up with checking out at 10 am???
Great Value For Money
Enjoyed the staff, very courteous and attentive. Location was right on for sight seeing and shopping. Room needs abit of updating but overall a nice experience. Will stay there again.
room was very good, clean. lots of towels of good quality.
The water features on the promo for the hotel were not working...totally empty and looked bad. It was part of the expectation that what you see on a promo is indeed what you get.
The maintenance men came promptly and were very nice.
Location of our condo was bad. Construction around us very loud. In front on corner so constant traffic. Garage was not available as it was being used by workmen! Toilet broke in middle of the night and made loud noise. Shower pull came off.
The space and privacy of the unit. This was better than a hotel for me. Late hours for the pool was a plus. No one pushing you to leave no stress from the beginning and the end. Coming back with my grown kids and co workers .
Everything perfect!
Great place for families. All the comforts of home and more.
Everything was perfect.
The privacy was great, your own pool and jacuzzi, we only left the building once during our 3 night stay
The pool was cold the first day but we called and it was adjusted pretty quickly

I want to set the default window size for a flex application that runs with a standalone player. I set width and height to 100% to be able to get the ResizeEvent and being able to adjust the layout if the user changes the window size. But I'd like to also define a default size.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
I'm not sure you can. You can do it with air though. Why would you want a standalone flex app that isn't air? The setting is the air xml file
I solved it this way: setting the application to a fixed size on startup, and adjusting it when the stage (here: the window) is resized
There's two ways to set the default size of a swf:
1) add a compiler argument:
2) use metadata in your flex main mxml or class
This will tell the compiler what values to put in the header tag of the swf.

Airbus A3XX: Developing the World's Largest Commercial Jet (A)
Benjamin C. Esty; Michael Kane
Price: $6.93
In July 2000, Airbus Industries' supervisory board is on the verge of approving a $13 billion investment for the development of a new super jumbo jet known as the A3XX that would seat from 550 to 1,000 passengers. Having secured approximately 20 orders for the new jet, the board must decide whether there is sufficient long-term demand for the A3XX to justify the investment. At the time, Airbus was predicting that the market for very large aircraft (VLA), those seating more than 500 passengers, would exceed 1,500 aircraft over the next 20 years and would generate sales in excess of $350 billion. According to Airbus, it needed to sell 250 aircraft to break even and could sell as many as 750 aircraft over the next 20 years. This case explores the two sets of forecasts and asks students whether they would proceed with the launch given the size of the investment and the uncertainty in long-term demand.
Learning objective:
To illustrate the basic economics of large projects and the complexity in estimating even top-line demand for products with useful lives of up to 50 years. To illustrate the role of governments in large projects, both as investors and as customers. Finally, to explore the competitive dynamics between a monopolistic and a potential entrant in which entry costs exceed $10 billion.
Subjects Covered:
Business & government relations; Capital expenditures; Corporate strategy; Demand analysis; Product development; Product positioning; Project finance; Valuation

LA Spas: Splurge vs. Save
Spa treatments from your head to your toes!
Facial: SaveWe adore the Bare facial for $100 at Naturally Bare By Deidre. Trust us, there is nothing bare bones about it. Celebrity esthetician Deidre spends quality time talking with you, assessing your skin and then treating it with the perfect mix of lotions and potions and painless extractions, making every facial custom to your skin's needs. Your mug will be clear and glowing from the inside out!
Facial: SplurgeBliss Spa always has so many beauty tricks up their sleeves and with the Steep Clean Facial, $290 for 90 minutes, or The Fully Loaded Facial, $210 for 90 minutes, your skin will be privy to many of them. It's hard to wrap your head (or in this case, face) around the steeping and steaming, blasting and blemish-fighting that they do, but boy do they do it and they do it oh so well. If they can come up with this many ways to make your skin look this radiant (and they can) in just 90 minutes, we are pretty sure they can also help solve world peace.
Massage: SaveDo yourself a favor, friends, and book yourself an appointment with Kristin at Massage Envy in Sherman Oaks. Your first massage is $49 (yes, you and your Warby Parker glasses read that right, $49!) but with Kristin (or any of their amazeballs staff members) you will think you've gotten yourself Mariah Carey's personal massage therapist. For reals. You will love it so much you will want to come back for more and guess what? For $59 a month you can! Now this is a club we can get on board with!
Massage: SplurgeThe Spa at the Four Seasons in Westlake Village is Amazefest USA. Calling it Amazefest USA doesn't even do it justice. And the best part is? Book yourself a spa treatment and you get access to their pool and amenities all the live-long day. So get the girls (or a great book) and make a day of it! And while their massages range between $150-$330, they are offering an über-fab promotion that moves them from Splurge to Save. Right now the all-new "Wow-Me-Wednesday Package" includes a 50-minute massage or facial treatment of your choice, plus up to four hours of complimentary child care, if you need it, at the Spa, for $99!
Brows: SaveBenefit Brow Bar on Third Street makes your eyebrows (and therefore, your face) look so good that you will be Instagramming a pic of yourself before you even leave the place. You will be jumping for joy that not only do you look oh-so-cute on the interweb, but you only spent $20 for it!
Brows: SplurgeWe all know that brows help or hurt your mug depending on how kept (or unkempt or overkept) they are. Which is why Anastasia has perfected the ideal arch loved by celebs and civilians alike. Head to one of their two locations (Beverly Hills and Brentwood) knowing that your $45-$55 will leave you with the perfect brows that even one Ms. Oprah Winfrey, who is a client herself, would give you two thumbs up (but just that — no car, sadly).

Sync it up: Hands on with the preview of Windows 8's cloud sync service
http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-conten...nu-640x438.jpg Windows 8's sync options side-by side with Apple iCloud. Microsft takes a different approach to sync, focusing on user configuration information rather than documents and other user data.
Windows 8 Release Preview
If you've used Apple's Mac OS X and iOS, you're probably familiar with Apple's idea of sync, as embodied by iCloud. Windows 8's sync is not iCloud'and that, in some ways, is a good thing. While the sync service will provide a connection between PCs, tablets and eventually even Windows phones, it won't do so in the data-intensive way that iCloud does (at least, not yet).
That's because Microsoft has taken a different approach to using the cloud than Apple, embedding a lot of the real heavy synchronization work into its Metro apps themselves based on the user configuration information stored in the cloud. So Windows 8's cloud sync features are more about handling administrative and user experience details than syncing large blocks of user data. If you want to move documents and pictures around betweeen devices,that sort of thing is left to SkyDrive.

Kim Jong Style: Gangnam Style goes North Korean
A Gangnam Style Parody About North Korea's Dictator
A Gangnam Style Parody About North Korea's Dictator
On Thursday, North Korea's launch of its Unha-3 rocket – purported to have an orbital satellite as a payload – broke apart shortly after launch and fell into the ocean – along with the current administration's foreign policy approach.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had said on Thursday that a launch by North Korea would violate the agreement made between the United States and North Korea. The earlier agreement had promised food and medical supplies for the starving masses as long as several conditions were met – one of which was a missile testing moratorium.
In another sternly-worded statement, Clinton said:
If Pyongyang goes forward, we will all be back in the Security Council to take further action. And it is regrettable because, as you know, we had worked through an agreement that would have benefited the North Korean people with the provision of food aid. But in the current atmosphere, we would not be able to go forward with that, and other actions that other countries had been considering would also be on hold.
The United Nations is the sole remedy from the Obama administration. As proved by North Korea's actions, Iran's continued defiance of U.N. mandates and the ongoing violence in Syria, it is a failed approach that relies on a defunct, but expensive, organization.
Obama has also recently expressed his willingness to sell-out American defense interests as he told Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that Obama would have much more flexibility on missile defense once he gets re-elected. There had also been confusion over just what the Obama administration had negotiated away last January in the START treaty with Russia. While Russia said that the treaty prevented America from deploying missile defenses, American counter-parts disagreed.
President Obama's speak softly and carry nothing policy will likely lead to both Iran and North Korea having an inter-continental ballistic missile capability and the United States having no missile defenses to protect herself. This is not simply a failure in foreign policy, but now in national defense.
North Korea – On Monday, Kim Jong Il's son was declared the head of the ruling Worker's Party Committee – one of the most powerful committees within the communist nation.
Last week Kim Jong Un was being hailed as the "great successor" and "great leader" of North Korea's massive military. Now the 20 year old Kim is expected to become the general secretary of the Worker's party as a final step to him taking the reigns of the impoverished nation.
What is not yet known is whether Kim Jong Un will rule as his father did or be under pressure from the leaders of Korea's massive and powerful army.
Kim Jong-Il has died, and will be replaced by his son, Kim Jong-Un. At this moment, I believe we have a singluar opportunity to topple the most barbaric regime in the modern world.
Some background:
North Korea relies on its black markets. North Korea's more-Stalinist-than-Stalin laws which centralize the economy are so restrictive that authorities have had to turn a blind eye to black market ventures- such as the private sale of grain between persons (illegal since 1957, but unenforced from 1990 until 2005)- just to allow people to subsist and to bring hard currency into the country.
A 2002 attempt by the NK government to legalize some of this black market and slightly liberalize the economy turned out to have worked too well- too many North Koreans were found to have been participating in these ventures, and the government rescinded these minor freedoms in 2005 and resumed enforcing Stalinist laws which hadn't been enforced in decades.
According to Andrei Lankov, the average North Korean household drew nearly 80% of its income from these minor capitalist ventures at one point. This is astonishing, considering the criminal penalties for breaking the law in North Korea. The communist system is such a complete failure that people risk execution or generational imprisonment of their families by undertaking minor black market activities just to survive in a country where famine is so widespread some people are resorting to cannibalism.
These necessary and natural black markets also carry outside information into North Korea, primarily in the form of South Korean CDs and magazines. There is clearly a desire in North Korea for contact with the outside world.
This reminds us of something we already know about communism in general: It's always doomed to failure. The more hardline a communist regime, the shorter the regime's life expectancy will be. North Korea has become more hardline in the last several years- tightening economic controls in 2005 and wiping out citizens' savings by revaluing the NK won, for example.
The death of Kim Jong-Il and the apparent takeover by his son, Kim Jong-Un, means that this monstrous state has reached its "rock bottom": the most total of totalitarian governments, organized for decades to be totally dependent on a single, deified leader, will now bestow absolute authority on a fat, spoiled, unprepared 28-year-old psychopath who only got the job because his older brother was deemed "too girly" by their father. In other words, Kim Jong-Un will undoubtedly be a modern-day Caligula in charge of an already-failing regime.
Couple this with an already-desperate condition for most of North Korea's population, and an ever-growing desire for contact and trade with the rest of the world, and we have the conditions for a regime change.
Any act which the United States and its allies can take to undermine this failing state would be a positive step- and would be especially devastating at this particular time. Suspending food and oil shipments, sanctioning North Korea's central bank, hijacking North Korea's broadcast media to spread the message of freedom, promoting North Korea's black markets, all of these acts and others would contribute to hastening the fall of the DPRK.
We have a unique opportunity at this moment to topple the most oppressive government in the world, without military force, simply by taking advantage of the already-present desire of many North Koreans to be free of their dictator and improve their living conditions.
In other words, we have a chance to do to North Korea what Ronald Reagan did to the Soviet Union.
And in case you're interested, here's my post about North Korea's constitution.
The dictatorial leader of North Korea has died of a heart attack at the age of 69 according to wire reports.
No official comment has been offered by the North Koreans or U.S. State department but it is widely expected that his son, Kim Jong-Un will be his successor.
His death has long been expected, but no notification of it being impending had been made.
There are some reports that the U.S.will now be suspending food and aid shipments until the political situation is worked out.
The South Koreans are taking a precautionary measure by convening their national assembly. There has been no decision by the South Koreans as to whether they should express condolences or remain silent on the dictators death and now there are reports that the border between North and South Korea has been closed.
North Korean state media is now calling Kim Jong-Un the "Great Successor". Un is the youngest of Kim Jong-Il's three sons and a general in the Korean People's Army.
The next older Il brother, Kim Jong-Nam was originally thought to be taking over the leadership of the destitute state, but his alleged use of a falsified passport to sneak into Japan to go to Disneyland Tokyo changed his fate.
The oldest of the three brothers, Kim Jong-Chun was ruled out long ago due to "feminine characteristics".
CDN will update you this story as information becomes available.
The following is an AP press report.
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) – Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic longtime leader, has died of heart failure. He was 69.
In a "special broadcast" Monday from the North Korean capital, state media said Kim died of a heart ailment on a train due to a "great mental and physical strain" on Dec. 17 during a "high intensity field inspection." It said an autopsy was done on Dec. 18 and "fully confirmed" the diagnosis.
Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008, but he had appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media. The communist country's "Dear Leader" – reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine – was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.
You can read more on the story here.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one may be worth more. As a humble blogger, I can tell you it's not hard to type 1000 or even 2000 words, but it is difficult to make them compete with a picture like this:
This is the difference between North and South Korea on a given night. The South, a shining example of prosperity. The North, a comparative wasteland. Maybe "wasteland" is a harsh choice of wording, but which one would you rather live in? The country with companies that (successfully) compete with America, or the country that shoots you for trying to leave?
So many "Occupy" protestors and members of the Left talk about doing away with Capitalism, that I wonder if they've seen pictures like this. I wonder if they've seen more of what goes on in Cuba than what Michael Moore tells them. And I also wonder why they don't just move to their non-captialism "paradises", if they don't like the United States. Last time I checked, people risk their lives to move to the U.S. and South Korea, not Cuba and North Korea.
What do you think? Is Capitalism overrated? Should we replace it with some sort of pseudo-socialist utopia? Or should we put pictures like this on billboards across North America until people get the point? Let us know in the comments below.
Obama dances around the politically charged issue of a nuclear armed North Korea.

Sandra Bullock 'Has Had Enough of Hiding'
Sandra Bullock's Big Moment
After months of hiding, Sandra Bullock is getting ready to step back into the spotlight by attending The MTV Movie Awards on June 6 in Los Angeles.
"Sandra has had enough of hiding in the shadows while Jesse has the nerve to sit down on national TV and tell his side of the story," a source close to Sandy tells me. "She has nothing to be ashamed about and plans to hold her head up high when she attends the awards this weekend to accept an MTV honor for entertaining generations of the network's audiences over the last two decades."
It has yet to be determined whether Sandra will walk the red carpet or enter the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City through a side door. Also, sources tell me Sandra and her advisers are going back and forth as to what should be in her acceptance speech. "If she doesn't acknowledge what has been going on in her life over the past few months in some manner, I would be very shocked," said one insider. "However, if you are expecting this moment to be a big kiss-and-tell as her ex, Jesse, chose to do, you will be very disappointed. Sandra has far too much class for that."
No matter what she says, it'll just be fabulous to have Sandra out and about once again.
'SATC 3' Is Reportedly 'Over'
After a disappointing weekend of ticket sales, where the much-hyped 'Sex And The City 2' ended up in third place behind 'Shrek Forever After' and 'Prince of Persia,' sources tell me any plans for a third film in the series are on hold.
"If the movie had performed as well as the studio had hoped, they would definitely make a third film," a veteran film producer told me. "But after these numbers, it's over. They have squeezed as much money out of that franchise as they possibly can and the public knows it."
However, it's not just the producers who think it's time to put a nail into the 'Sex And The City' coffin. Sources tell me the ladies, especially Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon, feel it's time to put these characters to bed and move on.
Too bad bedtime came on such a sour note. Just goes to show you that you can have too much of a good thing.
Perfect Summer Reading
If you like reading Naughty But Nice, you will love reading 'Mercury In Retrograde,' a delicious book that comes out in paperback today. Written by former Page 6 gossip columnist Paula Froelich, the novel follows three down-on-their-luck Manhattan women -- socialite Lena Lippencrass, reporter Penelope Mercury and high-powered lawyer Dana Gluck -- who form an unlikely fellowship when they end up in the same building.
Paula tells me: "Darling, its like 'Sex and the City' -- but younger, sassier and it has the cutest dachshund in world on its cover!" You all know I love dogs!

Besides grieving from the loss of a "relationship", (not the person), and the media, Sandra has NOTHING to hide from. By all means she should attend whatever she wants to, go wherever she wants to, etc... However, here in the real world, we know that won't happen. She'll be filmed buying a certain kind of baby food that is said to cause global warming and using cloth diapers that explode when wet. I'm sure there will be an explosion in the diapers, but not that way. The tabloids will write whatever fantasies they can dream up so the bored people in life will buy them. Sandra is well....happy and healthy, physically and mentally to not give a damn.

I wish Sandra and her child well. But how could she have been so clueless about Jesse's sex life? I mean, goddamn, how dumb (or trusting) can a person be? I don't place any blame. Jesse owns it. But I really don't get the stupidity of Sandra.

Within this news story surrounding Sandra B and her former husband Jessie James,this reader feels it is very important for other readers to realize there are always three sides to every story.
Within the case of this story between Jesse and Sandra there is Sandra's side to the story, Jesse's side to the story, and then there is the truthful side to the story. The truthful side of which neither Sandra nor Jesse will divulge is yet to be announced.
Sorry folks but this reader finds Sandra B to be at fault even more so than Jesse, and says shame on her for the wrong she has done to him.

Dr. Frank Lipman: Sleep tips for a restful night
Sleep Tips: Although we may not like to admit it, many of the sleep problems we experience are the result of bad habits and behaviors.We stay up late or sleep in late. We eat foods that disagree with us or enjoy a drink late at night, oblivious to their disruptive impact on our sleep rhythms. Over time, we teach our body not to sleep and for relief we often turn to sleeping pills, which mask rather than solve the problem, and can lead to addiction.Ultimately for real success, with insomnia as with any chronic problem, one must look for the underlying imbalances and root causes and address those.Here are the common sleep "mistakes" I see in my practice and their solutions.Published on January 13, 2010

INDIANAPOLIS - JANUARY 16: Pat McAfee #1 of the Indianapolis Colts punts the ball out of the Colts endzone against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Lucas Oli Stadium on January 16, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Phil Richards of the Indianapolis Star writes that Colts punter Pat McAfee is a man on a mission: "I wanted to figure this out and try to become the best who ever did it. I think I'll be trying to do that for the rest of my career," he said, snapping off the words now with the solemnity of a vow: "to be the best to ever do it." Provided he doesn't lead the team in special teams tackles I'd consider that a worthy goal.

In a large bowl, beat ¾ cup sugar and 1 ½ cups egg substitute until well blended. Set aside. In a Dutch oven or large pot, mix 2 cups half-and-half, 2 cups milk, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook over low to medium heat for about 12 minutes, until mixture begins to bubble around the edges of the pot. Do not boil. Remove from heat, and quickly stir half of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Then empty the egg mixture back into the pot with the hot milk mixture. Stir until completely blended. Cook mixture over low to medium heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 12 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees. The cooking time may take longer, if the heat is low. Do not boil. Remove from heat. Let cool for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 additional hours. Remove from refrigerator and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and ½ cup bourbon whisky. Beat whipping cream with and electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into eggnog mixture, until completely combined. Ladle into serving glasses or mugs and sprinkle with nutmeg! I hope you enjoy this recipe and that it brings you the spirit of the season! Cheers! Love, Betty

Did he really just say that?!? Douchebags have a gift for speaking the unspeakable. Vain, arrogant, brash, and clueless, they're the worst the male species has to offer—and now their most outlandish statements have been compiled into a single volume. The Quotable Douchebag features dozens of boneheaded and tasteless remarks from actors, musicians, athletes, and politicians, including: David Hasselhoff: "There are many dying children out there whose last wish is to meet me." Gene Simmons: "[I] don't believe there's any difference between a monogamous and a polygamous relationship. Those are all just big words, like gymnasium." Sean Hannity: "I'll tell you who should be tortured and killed at Guantanamo: every filthy Democrat in the U.S. Congress." And many, many more.

It's interesting that I haven't spent a dime on this build, time & scratch building for sure, but no coin.
It all started when the old woman came in the hobby room & said "good grief....clean this mess up & get rid of some of this junk that you're never going to use".
Okay, I understand that but she doesn't seem to understand that I might use this or that someday, maybe...maybe not, hee, hee.
So in an effort to humor her I figured I'd see if I could build a car from some of my stash.
Anyhow back to the build........
I cut down a '35 Auburn grille for the nose but wasn't really happy going with traditional buggy spring front suspension.
I decided to see if I could come up with a custom one off front set-up that was similar to the VW torsion bar unit but wider with disc brakes, dropped spindles along with rack & pinion steering.
Here's the goodies from the parts box and some scraps of plastic and tubing.
Here it is loosely assembled ready for some eyeballin' & more fabricating...........works for me.

Our Opinion: McCoy, Bolin families continue generous focus
At a time when our nation's universities face limited and often drastically reduced support from their respective governments, private individuals seem to rise to the occasion and generously fill in some gaps. That's especially true at Midwestern State University.
The past couple of biennial budgets have put MSU officials in a difficult situation, finding a w ay to do more with less, maintaining and improving academic and physical offerings while facing reduced funding. The College of Science and Mathematics has been especially blessed by generous donations of late.
Last month, James N. and Vicki McCoy pledged $3.3 million to expand laboratory facilities, faculty and program space at the McCoy School of Engineering. The donation will help the university introduce a master's program in mechanical engineering and enhance the current program's interdisciplinary mission.
"In today's competitive job market, an engineering degree provides the program's graduates with opportunities that many other job seekers can only imagine," Jim McCoy was quoted as saying. "For me, my solid educational foundations in science and math opened numerous doors, and Vicki and I welcome the opportunity to help young, future engineers, just like my parents, teachers and mentors assisted me." The name Bolin has become synonymous with science on the MSU campus, long before the Board of Regents approved naming the science building Bolin Science Hall in 1977. The naming continues to give recognition to the support provided to MSU by Mr. and Mrs. D. Houston Bolin. Today, a press release from MSU highlights, Bolin Science Hall houses programs in biology, chemistry, clinic laboratory science, computer science, geosciences and mathematics.
Continuing a family tradition of altruism and loyalty to MSU, Mrs. Beverly W. Bolin honored the memory of her husband, Robert L. Bolin, with a gift of $1.1 million designated for the establishment of the Robert L. Bolin Distinguished Professor of Petroleum Geology. The gift will also equip a geophysical laboratory and purchase research equipment. A portion of the gift, according to the press release, will be used to help construct a field research station at the Dalquest Desert Research Station in the Trans-Pecos region.
"The goal is to expand the number of geology graduates and prepare them to enter today's sophisticated world of developing the nation's petroleum resources," MSU President Dr. Jesse Rogers said in the statement.
The past two weeks have been exceptional for MSU's efforts, but the university has always found outstanding generosity within this community.
The fall semester saw a matching gift donation from the Dillard family. Hollis Sullivan, Dan Mowrey and David Mowrey funded the naming of Geosciences Lab in Bolin 105 "Stan Mowrey Geosciences Laboratory."
The Fain, Bridwell and Edwards foundations contributed to the museum renovation. Peyton Carnes and Fred Stevens provided generously to the engineering program expansion. And a list of other gifts, all totalling $9.5 million this school year.
The names on MSU landmark buildings only scratch the surface. The generosity is so steady, one could almost expect a continuous steam. University officials, we can tell, are far from nonchalant. These gifts matter.
And the generosity is ever more commendable at a time when government funding continues to go in the other direction.
