The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't done their offseason overhaul just yet apparently. The Dodgers, who have been giving their franchise a very pricey facelift in the last four or five months, are still exploring options. According to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, the Dodgers are now shopping outfielder Andre Ethier. Given Ethier's huge contract and the Dodgers' astronomical spending spree this offseason, that might make sense on the surface. However, Feinsand also reports that if the Dodgers can move Ethier, they could hop into the sweepstakes for free-agent outfielder Nick Swisher. Source: Dodgers shopping Andre Ethier. If they deal him, they could be in the mix for Nick Swisher.— Mark Feinsand (@FeinsandNYDN) December 18, 2012 FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal followed that up with a confirmation of the Dodgers' interest in moving Ethier. Have heard same as @FeinsandNYDN: #Dodgers shopping Ethier. Story coming on Foxsports.com.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 18, 2012 It makes sense that the Dodgers would look to unload Ethier's contract, especially given their recent spending spree, which brought in the high-priced contracts of players like Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Zack Greinke. It is a little odd that the Dodgers would be willing to move on from Ethier so quickly, after signing the veteran outfielder to a five-year, $85 million contract extension during the 2012 season. However, Swisher won't come cheap, especially if the Dodgers get involved, adding a big-market spender to the hunt. The Dodgers are also reportedly looking to sign ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw to a long-term contract extension. Kershaw is one of of the best pitchers in the game, and after giving a historical contract to Greinke, it makes sense that Kershaw will be paid very, very handsomely if an extension is agreed upon.

Understanding the birth of photoreceptors In 2001, Swaroop's team first showed that the gene NRL, discovered several years earlier in his U-M lab, is essential for the development of rods. In its absence, all rods were converted to cones.
Earlier this year, Drs. Masayuki Akimoto and Hong Cheng in the Swaroop lab published an important study describing the "birth" of rod cells.* They were able to make this process visible by building on previous research, using an NRL gene regulatory element to tag the rods with a green fluorescent protein. This enabled Kellogg scientists to illuminate the rods, which begin as unspecified cells and gradually differentiate into cells dedicated to light reception. "One of our critical discoveries," says Swaroop, "is that there is a window of opportunity during which a cell has committed itself to becoming a rod but has not yet started to function as such."
The collaboration with Ali's group, funded by the UK's Medical Research Council in London, was critical in testing the next phase of the research. The goal was to learn whether transplanting cells isolated at a specific time period would significantly increase the chances that "precursor" cells would develop into functioning rods and integrate in the retinal milieu.
The new paper shows that successful transplantation requires that cells reach a certain level of maturity before being transplanted into the eye. When the cells were transplanted at a very early stage, bef

Fried that's great! Wishing you luck with the fertilization and transfer
Me (31) DW (28) 2 puppies and our sweet little love born 6/19/14
37, hoping to have a new member of the family in 2016, to join my queer clan: Me , Things 1&2 , my long-distance KD/cheerleader (the guy who's been telling everyone what a great mom I'm going to be) , and the rest of the superheroes and sidekicks .
Pretty - I'm dying to hear if you heard a heartbeat this morning! I see that a lot of people are lingering online this morning, I think we are all hoping to hear your good news!
Fried - Yay for 3 eggs!
Fille - I'm so sorry your HSG was so uncomfortable. When we worked with an RE before they were strongly encouraging one and I was really anxious about it. I've definitely heard that it increases your chances of conception for a few months though. Let's hope it does the trick!
Fmoriss - Happy Anniversary!
AFM - It's CD18 for me. I'm still anticipating O on CD20 but I could get a pos OPK as early as today. Either way, by Friday I'll be in the TWW. I was able to get in two insems already on Mon/Tues and KD is open to continuing daily as long as we need to, which I'm super grateful for. In our previous tries we haven't been able to get a try in on O day, just multiple days leading up to it.
I know that we want every cycle to be the one, but it would be really nice if it happened now and I didn't need to put grad school off a year. We have decided that we'll keep trying though. A second child is really important to us and everything is still in such limbo surrounding out foster son that we're reaching the point where his bio-dad will have the chance to sink or swim. His bio-mom went MIA few weeks back out of nowhere when I thought she was doing really well. Gah! Fostering is such a roller coaster of emotions.
Mrs - thanks for all that information. It is incredibly helpful because I didn't realize how much monitoring is needed with injectables. I am on CD20 so I will most likely start progesterone tonight to see if that gives me half a chance on the timing for next cycle. I remember you posting about the extremely high sperm counts so since then I always pick the highest count I can get my hands on. That's so cool you got to see the ruptured follies. My RE doesn't do US after insems but at another clinic I had it done and it was really satisfying knowing that ovulation did occur. My RE will not do two insems so I am contemplating an at home ICI in addition to the IUI with RE. Thanks again for everything!!
Fried - yay for 3!!! Fx!!
Pookafaye - that is so great you are getting so many insems in!! Fx!!

Isa - SO exciting!
Fried - 3! So great that you got to freeze one too!
How is everyone else doing? I'm rounding down my tww (now 10dpo) with impatience and a lack of any notable symptoms or signs that would make me think it worked this time. But, I'll keep hoping until I know for sure.
Isa, twins! So exciting!
And Friederike, two and a spare!

fried- yay for both fertilizing! Loads of sticky dust for you my friend! How are you feeling?
isa- two heartbeats! Amazing! How do you and DP feel about it? Guess that explains your high bHCG levels. Congrats again.
redrock- how are you doing?
Congrats Isa! How are you and DP feeling about twins?!
Fried! Great you have all 3, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!
I have a question... I talked to my REs office today about starting monitoring for my January cycle and they recommended a also do a trigger shot. Previous I only did OPKs and got my BFP so I'm not sure if the trigger shot is something I should do? What are your thoughts, I believe many of you have done that with other medications but has anyone ever triggered with no other medications?
My amazing wife (28) and I (27) TTC our first child via IUI w/ anonymous frozen sperm IUI #1 July 2013 = Early MC IUI #2 January 2014 = BFN IUI #3 in March 2014 = BFP!!!
Our LO Arrived 11/26/2014 - Couldn't be happier!
just a REALLY quick one - Fried, I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and I hope that it's successful. Everything is crossed so I'm not typing very well xxxx
Isa - WOW!!! that's fantastic, I guess you're going to want to be greedy & go for two BFP's huh!?!?!?
will do more personals later. A friend gave birthday yesterday at 28 weeks. Baby 2 pounds 1 but healthy which is a relief. Imagine missing the whole last trimester!
Love and baby dust to all xxx

Second IVF successful, he's here!!!!
DS born 12/4/2012, weight 6lb11
IVF 31st July 2013 12 eggs retrieved, 2 morula (nearly blasts) transferred 5th August,...
Jam--I don't think the Saras check in here much these days, but one of them did monitoring and a trigger, and got pregnant with her sweet little boy that way. They said it was a lot cheaper than buying extra vials of sperm.
She's here!
And so are the boys!
Hi All!
First, Isa- Congratulations!!!! Twins! So exciting.
Second, I suppose I should (re)introduce myself. I haven't been on here for about a year and a half or so and in that time a lot has changed. My exwife and I tried for about a year to get pregnant without success and about a year and a half ago we split up, hence my absence. At the time the divorce was something I never saw coming and totally shook me up but since then I have learned so much and have met an amazing person that far exceeded my previous expectations. My DP is trans (FTM) and we have been together for just over a year. DP has always wanted children and has expereince with TTC with his ex. The longing for a baby has been with me and DP for a few years now, and so we decided to start trying together!
We are currently in our second try. We are using fresh sperm from a known donor and I am currently 8 DPO. I tested this morning, even though I know it is way too early. I am really hoping to get a BFP tomorrow since it is my DP's 40th birthday. Wouldn't that just be an amazing present?!?! I know it will still be early but I have a really good feeling about this month. I have been using guided imagery and just keep seeing myself giving him a postive pregnancy test all wrapped up tomorrow.
I have done a little looking around and am so happy to see so many graduates! I will do some more reading and catch up on all of your stories. For now I will be sending you all postive vibes where ever you may be.
After years of waiting, DP and I are so excited to announce the arrival of our baby girl, born 1/27/15.
Remebering our Angel Baby, Emery.
mama I was bored on my day off yesterday, so I finally made the Pumpkin Brownies. I had to substitute some ingredients so they weren't as soft as I expected but tasty. I'll continue tweaking it. Did you get rid of the peecanister yet? Your latest blog had me lol!
liz sorry to hear that little one came into the world so early. I hope he is a little fighter and makes it out of the Nicu with no problems. By the way, I had a phantastic interview the the documentary folks yesterday. She was awesome.
hopeful welcome back. I hope he gets his birthday present and you too! Good luck
afm they moved in!
Friederike: Looking good!
Hi to everyone else!
Isa - Twins!! Congratulations!
Fried - Love the pictures!! FX!!
Hopeful - Welcome back!!
Jam - I am all for the trigger shot. I think it really helps take the guesswork out of timing.
AFM - We went to our Menopur class on Wednesday and got a lot of information. DW is very concerned about the risk of multiples and while I am concerned, I just feel like it would be a miracle to actually get pregnant. I have been reading a lot about injectable cycles and all the posts indicate many follicles. My AFC is really low 3-4 so it worries me that I wont have a lot to work with. I wasn't able to sleep much Wednesday night and yesterday I cried which is something I rarely do. I just feel like it's never going to happen. Today we leave for a weekend camping trip with friends. It will be good to get away but I am so very scared about the next 3 tries.
Fried--they are lovely! I hope they're setting up shop right now for a good, long stay!
She's here!
And so are the boys!
Fried, how wonderful! I'm so glad to hear it's going so well for you.
Mama: I'm good, I feel very normal, which of course worries me. If my boobs weren't huge I'd still be taking a test everyday. How are things with you?
Me (31) DW (28) 2 puppies and our sweet little love born 6/19/14
I asked my KD to ship today anyway, as anything later than a CD22 (Monday) O is a definite outlier, and I figure if I haven't already O'd and missed it, then I'll ovulate Sunday or Monday. But, who knows? Maybe I'll never ovulate again!
For anyone who wants to weigh in on the crazy, here's my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/fillefantome. And everyone else, just keep your fingers crossed that I can hold onto whatever sanity I've got left….
37, hoping to have a new member of the family in 2016, to join my queer clan: Me , Things 1&2 , my long-distance KD/cheerleader (the guy who's been telling everyone what a great mom I'm going to be) , and the rest of the superheroes and sidekicks .
hopeful welcome and I'm glad things have worked out that well for you as I can imagine a relationship breaking down when TTC is pretty traumatic. I hope your time here is quick.
fried - they look great!!! I am keeping everything crossed for you, when's your test date? Glad the interview went well for you, they are lovely, aren't they? go you!! I bet you came across well too :)

Second IVF successful, he's here!!!!
DS born 12/4/2012, weight 6lb11
IVF 31st July 2013 12 eggs retrieved, 2 morula (nearly blasts) transferred 5th August,...
hopeful - welcome. we have some things in common with the living in the beautiful nw and hoping for a birthday bfp. Hope you have good news to share with DP!
fille - how frustrating with the temping. I hope that you O in the next couple days and have a perfectly timed insem. What is typically your coverline? I wonder if the testing you had done had any impact on your ovulation schedule?
Darcy - sounds like you're doing a great job of fulling informing yourself on all the decisions you're making. I also want to validate how emotionally challenging this whole process is. So much time, energy, and money for something that is essentially out of our control. It is draining and frustrating. Have a good camping trip!
Fried - excited to follow your progress!
PrettyIsa - Yay! Twins are so exciting, I would have been in shock too. DW is so scared that we'll get to adopt our foster son and be pregnant with multiples. We're on board for 3 kids, but the reason we're TTC right now is that we really want 2. Still, I've always romanticized twins - what a special bond they'll have with each other!
Fille - I've been sick too and it's also been messing with my signs. I was so thankful when there was finally more definitive CM and a pos OPK. Here's hoping you get yours tonight!
Fried - Those babies look awesome - thanks for sharing! I feel so positive about November finishing off with a nice round of BFPs!
Darcy - I hope that getting away helps clear your head. This whole business can be really crazy making. I'm still very hopeful for you.
Hopeful - Welcome, welcome! You may have the shortest stay ever if your BFP is imminent!
Mama - Thanks for Fried's post, I realized you have a blog. Imagine my surprise to see you posting a gluten-free recipe. It made this coeliac super happy. I'll have to browse further back and see if you posted even more yumminess. We should also exchange some favorite recipes sometime.
AFM - Got a pos OPK late yesterday and we've insemmed Mon/Tues/Thurs - I'm hoping we also work out inseams tonight and tomorrow just cover anything with a remote chance of leading to a BFP. My signs haven't been as clear this month since I'm recovering from a cold - but I think things turned out well anyway. Go ahead and put me in the TWW!
redrock- I just found out a colleague is pregnant because she has been looking a bit pale and has been yacking almost everyday, chasing her dry heaves with crackers lol. Plus side for your no-symptoms: it stays your secret til you are ready to tell people, and work is a bit more tolerable glad you're doing well.
pook- yay you checked out my blog! Yeah, I've been a bit slack on it, but when stuff starts up again with our TTC-ing, I'll be posting more frequently. I think the celiac has been a contributing factor to why I'm having a hard time conceiving. I've been very strict with my diet, but I think the years of damage and inflammation have been awful for my body. I've got lots of yummy GF recipes to share. Maybe I'll post one this weekend- GF cinnamon rolls!
afm- urine collected, 9 vials of blood drawn, dec 3 I see the endocrinologist again, at which point we decide whether to do a brain MRI or put me on some drugs. Basically she thinks my cortisol and prolactin issues are strange because they don't follow with the typical clinical picture. She even speculates that I might have been pregnant with an early loss the first time we inseminated (the time that DW looked like a miner with her headlamp), because a month and a half after that was when I ended up with the high prolactin. Hmmm.....

Peter Henning, a former SEC lawyer and professor at the Wayne State University of Law, said that while companies are required to share material information about a company (or information that a reasonable investor would consider important), there's nothing in securities laws that require companies to specifically disclose information about a CEO's health.
"It's a delicate balance," he said. "Do investors have a right to know what [Jobs'] prognosis is? The answer to that one, I really think, is no."
Henning said the wording and timing of the announcement might actually mean that Apple has learned from previous lessons -- specifically, a reported 2009 Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into Apple's disclosure's of Job's health.
When contacted by ABCNews.com, an SEC spokesman declined to comment on the matter.
Henning said it's likely that nothing will come of the probe, but he added that it might have taught Apple that it's better to tackle such matters sooner than later.
"[Apple] learned… Get it out there, keep it simple and move on," he said. "Apple handled this as well as you can handle it."
Still, some academics argue that Apple -- and other companies facing similar situations -- should be obligated to share more information with their stakeholders.
"I think it falls in line with the general push toward transparency and accountability and everything that Sarbanes-Oxley and the SEC itself stand for," said Alexa Perryman, a professor at Texas Christian University's Neeley School of Business and co-author of the paper "When the CEO is Ill: Keeping Quiet or Going Public?" "It's very important that the board of directors and the CEO himself or herself realize that they have a bit of celebrity role, a bit of a public persona."
Apple's board has always argued that Jobs' health is not material information, but Perryman said, "Given the repetition and given the fact that there are those stock drops, it's getting harder and harder to say that."
Apple may be well within its legal limits by withholding information about Jobs' health but, in general, she said corporate boards need more SEC input when it comes to CEO health disclosures.
"Right now, it's up to each board of directors to make this call, but given that health has so many personal issues, HIPAA [issues], I think boards are going to need some guidance from the SEC to help them with these tricky decisions," she said.
Despite the shadow of Jobs' departure hanging over the company, in its first quarter earnings call with analysts today, Apple executives were optimistic about the future of the company. Apple's earnings report was much stronger than expected, with the company posting record quarterly profits of $6 billion for the last three months of 2010 and reporting a 78 percent jump in net income for the holiday quarter.

Gear Review
Loved the color and feel of this jacket; however, it was quite small sizing. I wear a medium to large in jackets and the Large was very snug, even without winter clothing underneath.
Did you keep the jacket? Does it shed feathers? I ordered this jacket, but was actually sent the more expensive version (don't know how that happened) and I am considering sending it back because it sheds so much. But other than that I LOVE it. I wanted to know if this one sheds at all?

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Tom and Karo
by amurleopard42
Review: After eating at Tom & Karo's three times, my sweetheart and I can report that their burgers, falafel and desserts are incredibly delicious and served fast. No trace of the poor coordination mentioned here half a year ago. In addition, the menu is rich and fancy, and almost every non-vegan dish is prepared vegan on request. We'll come back! Well, perhaps some more seating around tables would be desirable, but we're aware that space is limited.

âTraité de bave et d'éternité' by Isidore Isou at RCC

RCC has the pleasure to present âTraité de bave et d'éternité', the first and only film by Isidore Isou, the founder of the most important avant-garde movements of postwar Paris, the French Lettrist movement.
About............................................................................................................ âThe spectator must leave the cinema blind, his ears crushed, both torn asunder by this disjunction of word and image. The rupture between language and photography will form what I call DISCREPANT CINEMA. I hereby announce the manifesto of discrepant cinema!' Isidore Isou ............................................................................................................... âTraité de bave et d'éternité' is the first cinematographic manifestation of the Letterist movement. Isidore Isou sought to break down cinema, to exploit the discrepancy between sound and image or to treat the film material as exactly that: substance to be manipulated in every possible way. Although uninvited, Isidore Isou brought his movie at the Cannes Film festival in 1951 where he caused turmoil among the audience but also won the audience prize for the avant-garde. âTraité de bave et d'éternité' outrages the audience with its desynchronized soundtrack and visual track, through its visual effects made by bleaching the film and also though its deconstructed story. With this movie Isou applies two of his concepts; one is âthe discrepant editing', where image and sound are treated separately, breaking their significant connection and âchiseling' where the film is physically attacked and altered. In the sound column of âTraité de bave et d'éternité' the spectator may hear from a love story to improvisation whereas in the visual column the viewer might see a dashing young man walking along the boulevard of Saint-Germain or fragments of military films. This is what the Letterist movement aimed for, to build a new language for each art by destroying its previous manifestation. Isou's ârevolt against cinema' is a landmark work that prefigured the Letterist and Situationist cinema to come and influenced many experimental filmmakers, including Stan Brakhage or Jean-Luc Godard. Isidore Isou born in 1928 as Ioan-Isidor Goldstein, was a Romanian-born French poet, film critic and visual artist. He represents one of the key Romanian avant-garde artists who influenced and provoked the contemporary perception of art. Isou moved to Paris at the end of WW II after he tried to initiate the artistic and literary review âDa' in partnership with Serge Moscovici (âDa' was quickly censored due to political reasons). Moving to Paris, Isou was able to develop and express his concepts which involved and presumed a total artistic renewal. His work and artistic practice influenced other artists in questioning and rethinking cinema, seeing this medium as being much more than a means of telling stories. âTraité de bave et d'éternité' (On Venom and Eternity) | 1951, 120 Min., 35mm Screenplay: Isidore Isou Cinematographer: Nat Saufer Editor: Suzanne Cabon Assistant Director: Maurice Lemaà ®tre Original Music: Daniel Guarrigue Producer: Marc-Gilbert Guillaumin Cast: Isidore Isou, Marcel Achard, Jean-Louis Barrault, Blanchette Brunoy, Blaise Cendrars, Jean Cocteau, Danièle Delorme, Edouard Dermithe, Daniel Gélin, André Maurois, Armand Salacrou, Rodica Valeanu.

The Baltimore Ravens used the franchise tag to ensure running back Ray Rice would be back with the team in 2012, but the two sides had eyes on agreeing to a long-term pact at some point. Well now that has finally happened.
Rice and the Raves have agreed to a five-year, $40 million deal that includes $17 million in 2012, and $8 million in 2012. From the initial numbers it appears Rice's deal fits in the middle of the Adrian Peterson-Chris Johnson-LeSean McCoy-Arian Foster contract group.
The deal came across the line just in front of Monday's deadline to secure contracts with franchised tagged players that would alter their salaries for the 2012 season.
Last season Rice rushed for 1,364 yards on 291 attempts (4.7 yards per carry), with 12 rushing totals. He also racked up 704 yards and three touchdowns on 76 receptions. His 2,068 yards from scrimmage led the NFL.
The fact that the Ravens and Rice got a deal done is a big win for both sides. The 25-year-old Rice now has long-term financial security, while Baltimore can turn its attention to getting quarterback Joe Flacco and safety Ed Reed inked to long-term contracts.
Rice's $24 million in guarantees trails only Peterson and Chris Johnson among running backs. He will be eligible for free agency after the 2017 season.

The whole photo looks darker in aperture.
Looks as if it's a little darker toward the edges as well. (brighter red in the middle than toward the outside)
Just increase the exposure setting totally.
Vignette brighter toward edges.
Your right!!! I was so hung up on the blue I didn't even notice that.

Mumbai, Oct 30 (IANS) Director Sameer Hanchate's debut movie 'Gafla', based on 1990's stock market scam engineered by Harshad Mehta, has been awarded the Golden Aphrodite Medallion in the best script category at the 3rd Cyprus International Film Festival.
In all, six movies had vied for the Golden Aphrodite Medallion for different categories at the six-day festival this year.

Hi! I'm a student of human behavior - did you know you could get paid for that? In the corporate arena, it's called "human resources." For the most part, I'm aware our reputation is neither human nor resourceful so I'm out to change the world's view one employee at a time! My friends tease me about being a walking encyclopedia and, before Google, I was extremely handy to know if you ever needed to "phone a friend." These days, however, it's merely a side effect of my reading addiction that might aid with survival or boredom if you happen to find yourself on a deserted island. Hey, you never know where life will take you! At home, I value that cooking in an art and baking is a science; therefore, I never attempt the latter for fear of having to eat the results. Since cooking is a bit more forgiving, I play in this area, and those who've tried my holiday turkey say it's the best ever. I believe in a "spoon full of sugar" mentality: anything can be fun if you have the right attitude. On a recent flight, a fellow passenger who paid for business class was bumped to coach with me because someone else was upgraded to his seat. He was just a bit upset! I assured him business class was a myth, not truly as magical as they would have you believe.Then, I invited him to have dinner and a drink with me coach style. We had a blast discussing the merits of chicken vs. beef! Life is definitely what you make of it.

Trust the family
Sisters, daughter help woman pick just the right stuff
Gloria Galvan, 48, is one of 10 children - six girls and four boys. The family is very close, often getting together for barbecues or camping trips. Galvan loves to take her sisters or her daughter along for shopping trips.
"I need to have an opinion and I know they will tell me the truth," she said.
But fashion isn't just narrowed down to clothes and accessories. Galvan loves makeup, too.
"Everyone should own MAC makeup. It has changed my outlook on fashion and has opened up windows of fashion creativity for me," she said.
The craziest fashion item I ever bought was a
Black Christmas purse with sequins and boa trim on top. It was decorated with martini glasses with Santa Claus hats on them. It cost $45, but I thought it was so festive. I tend to go all out for the holidays.
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing
Clothing that is too small or too big on me. I am very consciousof what looks good on my body and what doesn't. If anything sticks out, I'm not wearing it. To avoid this, I almost always try on things before I buy them. Some places, such as Chico's where I know items will fit, I can bypass that.
The worst fashion advice I ever received
Is to wear brick-red lipstick with black or light blue eye shadow. I don't like looking like the American flag is on my face, nor do I like looking like Morticia Adams. Some women can pull this look off; I cannot.
Fashion advice I'd give my best friend
Change your hair at least twice a year, whether it be color, style or both. Never let roots show. Also, who cares if you're fashionably late? As long as you look and feel great, it's worth it.
I have an impressive collection of
Shoes, all styles. I own about every color of the rainbow. I've estimated about 100 pairs, not including my boots. It's definitely a fashion addiction. There always will be space in my closet for more shoes because I always find a pair that I do not have anything like.
When I shop for clothes
I have to make sure I have a good amount of time and no phone calls coming in. I have to have time to try everything on. I am also very good about going through all the sales racks and finding the best deals first. I hate shopping in crowds. I usually hit the malls as soon as they open or right before they close. I wish I could rent the mall and shop with just family and me.
The most comfortable item in my closet
All of my active wear. I really like Danskin, it's a very breathable, comfortable line. I love to just slip it on when I'm in a rush. Or you can dress it up with great accessories. Who says you can't look great while attempting to work out?

Like racecars, Olympic athletes need to be in top form so they can clock their best times and prevent hurdles from getting stuck in their undercarriages. Prep for perfection with this Groupon.
Choose from 12 Options
- $99 for a three-lap Lamborghini agility-autocross experience (a $549 value)
- $199 for a six-lap Lamborghini agility-autocross experience (a $1,098 value)

- August 17 or 18
- September 7 or 8
- October 26 or 27

Over a 90-minute time span, groups of auto enthusiasts peel around New Hampshire Motor Speedway's agility-autocross course in a sleek V10 Lamborghini Gallardo. Students spend 15 minutes absorbing safety and steering instructions before strapping into the driver's seat alongside an experienced instructor. Seated in front of the powerful purr of the engine, drivers then complete three or six full laps.

The Motorsport Lab
The Motorsport Lab lets drivers tame and test a fleet of classic American muscle cars and exotic, foreign sportsters. Drivers receive instruction before sampling the speed and handling of vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB9, Bentley GT, and Lotus Elise. Instructors either compress racing experiences into 60-minute agility tests or prolong the rush by guiding drivers on three-day excursions to Tampa, the Berkshires, or the nearest no-contact demolition derby. The Motorsport Lab also runs an advanced driving school, teaching students the subtleties of controlling Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
74% of 775 customers recommend
"Fun experience - worth it with groupon but not full price. Can't imagine anyone paying that. "
"Just awesome experience. Will like to visit them again."

Study: Grocery Credit Cards 2014
Here are the best credit cards for grocery shopping from our partners
Read more about Grocery Rewards
If you live in a typical American household, your grocery bill adds up to a sizeable chunk of your budget. The average family in 2012 spent about $6,600 on food, or about 13% of overall household spending, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Some credit cards, to attract new customers, offer rewards and cash back on groceries. Food is a necessity that you have to buy anyway, so why not take advantage of some extra cash back when you purchase it? Even at a cash-back rate of just 2%, the $6,600 that the average American family spends on food each year could put an extra $132 back into your pocket.
We ranked the top offers from our partners and highlighted those that will give you the best value. Keep in mind that this assumes you'll pay off your balance when it comes due so you avoid interest and late fees; otherwise your rewards will be negated.
To even the playing field, CreditDonkey.com scored the credit cards on the same basic premise: an American consumer (for the purpose of this article, we'll call her Jane) spends $550 a month at the supermarket, or $6,600 annually.
Credit Card for Grocery Shopping
Blue Cash Preferred from American Express (a CreditDonkey advertiser) won first place in our study with Jane pocketing $441 after her first year of spending. Assuming Jane was new to using the Blue Cash Preferred and she exclusively used the card for all her grocery shopping ($6,600 annually), she would earn:
Blue Cash Everyday from American Express (a CreditDonkey advertiser) won second place in our study with Jane pocketing $286 in the first year. Assuming Jane was new to using the Blue Cash Everyday and she exclusively used the card for all her grocery shopping ($6,600 annually), she would earn:
Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard won third place in our study with Jane pocketing $132 in her first year. Assuming Jane exclusively used the card for all her grocery shopping ($6,600 annually), she would earn:
The Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard is a good option for people with fair credit. With the Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard, you'll earn two points on every dollar spent on groceries, gas and utility purchases, plus one point per dollar spent on everything else. That equates to 2% and 1% cash back, respectively. Put into dollar terms, $500 in monthly grocery spending will put $10 back into your pocket. There's no limit to the points you can earn and no redemption fees to worry about.
Also worth noting is that, because this is a MasterCard, it's likely to be accepted in more places than American Express and Discover, which has a somewhat smaller network of merchants.

Local fruits and vegetables
The local fruits and vegatables in Puerto Rico are varied. Going to the local market you will probably find what we call "vianda" this is a group of vegatables like "malanga" "yuca" "guineos", "yautia" "yame" "pana". These vegatables can be used in a soup called "Sancocho" or are boiled and eaten with "bacalao".
Some of the fruits will include "cenepas", "chinas" "tamarindo" "guayabas" "mango" and of course "coco".
The market will probably have fresh "gandules" and "oja de guineos" for making "pasteles".
I usually pick up some fresh gandules and the vianda and guayabas if they are in season...they are my favorite fruit!!
Fiestas Patronales - Feast of Patron Saint
Every municipality of Puerto Rico has a "Fiesta Patronal" This is the feast of the Patron Saint of this town. The feast is usually located around the "plaza" where the main church and city hall are located and its is a great way to go out and enjoy the live music and dancing, eating and drinking and just having a good time.
Depending on how large the town is, there will be rides for the children, games, and many diversions.
The feast usually starts on a Saturday and will continue until the following Sunday.
The sport of pitting game-cocks to fight and the breeding and training of them for that purpose has been a long and establish Puerto Rican sport/pasttime.
Cockfighting pits are circular with a matted stage about 20 feet (6 meters) in diameter and surrounded by a barrier to keep the birds from falling off. The main matches usually consist of fights between an agreed number of birds. Cocks usually are put to the main when between one and two years of age. Before a fight, spurs of metal or bone are slipped over the natural spurs of the game-cocks. The modern short sput is 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) or less in length; the longer spur scales from 2 to 2 1/2 inches (5 to 6 cm). In ancient times, cocks were permitted to fight until one or the other was killed. Later, although some fights still are to an absolute finish, rules have sometimes permitted the withdrawal at any time of a badly damaged cock. Other rules fix a time limit for each fight. At all mains, the judges word is absolute law, even as to gambling. There is no appeal from his decisions.
You will find stands as large as this one or small carts all over Puerto Rico, whether on the roadside or in town selling the delicious "piragua" (shaved ice). There is a variety of local flavors including "tamarindo" "guava" "coco" "lechosa" "limon" and of course the usual flavors, of orange, cherry, strawberry, watermelon, etc.
Coqui frogs
These little brown tree frogs are the symbol of Puerto Rico. They are everywhere and nowhere all at once. Almost impossible to spot (one brochure said they were only slightly easier to find then a leprechuan!) they are also impossible to ignore. Their song "Ko-Kee Ko-Kee" can be heard all throughout the night. After a rainfall the coqui song becomes even more animated. I suppose it's amphibian party time:)
Lucky for me, the owner of the villa we stayed in has a knack of finding these little guys. When I mentioned I really wanted to see one, he offered to seek some out for me. Pictured are the two different types of Coqui he found that morning. Apparently they have 10 of the 17 types right on the villa property.Related to:
- Jungle and Rain Forest
- Photography
Preferred Cooking Method - Deep Fried
I noticed here as in other parts of the Caribbean that one of the preferred cooking methods is deep frying. If you are on a diet or looking for more healthful options I recommend going to the local market and picking up freshly caught fish and shrimp and preparing it in a more healthy manner. Oh, but do at least try tostones rellenos con pollo...deep fried plaintains with chicken. This is a surprisingly delightful dish!!!Related to:
- Women's Travel
Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the US, so English is its official language, but Spanish has also been declared an official language in recent years due to the rise of progressive nationalism, and it happens to be widely spoken. I have traveled all over the island of PR, and have observed that in most parts people speak English, but as you travel farther away from the cities (e.g., San Juan, Ponce, etc.), Spanish is mostly preferred and used in everyday communication.
As Puerto Ricans are quite gracious, they'll try to be patient with you, but will not guarantee that they'll cater to your English-speaking ways all of the time. It has to be a two-way street. Show that you're trying to learn Spanish as much as you can because that sure will guarantee more respect and acceptance.
Good Luck & Enjoy Beautiful Puerto Rico!Related to:

Anoles (little lizards)
I was pleased to see these little guys in such abundance in Puerto Rico. They really are just everywhere, at the villa, in the rainforest, even in the resturant where we had lunch in San Juan! They are fun to watch as they scurry about, warm themselves in the sun, do their "pushups" and blow up their orange necks. One thing that was not so much fun to watch was when one of the cats at the villa chased one down and ate it, only later to regurgitate the poor little guy. Ew.Related to:
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
- Jungle and Rain Forest
Often I find myself terribly thirsty and in need of a frosty beverage while driving someplace. I always wish that I could instantly have a cold bottle of water. The Puerto Ricans can make that wish come true! While stopped at a traffic light you will notice from time to time that a man will appear walking down the road, water and other assorted drinks in hand. For one measly dollar one could be yours, and wishes can come true.
(this also happens with newspapers, but hey when I'm on vacation i don't usually want one of those. Good for those on the way to work or something I spose.)Related to:

Arroz con Pollo al estilo puertorriqueño
2 cups white chunk chicken
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 packet of Sazón Goya
1 cube chicken bouillon
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons margarine
8 cocktail sausage links (get the Lil' Smokies) optional
2 cups rice
Put all ingredients except rice in pot of water. Bring to a boil. Add rice. Cook on low for 20 minutes.
People look at you
One thing about Puerto Rico I thought was kind of cool is that you will catch members of the opposite sex looking at you fairly frequently, and often with a smile. Although this can happen anywhere, what I found charming and fresh about it was that there wasn't the furtive looking away like someone has been caught doing something wrong, or fear that it could be misinterpreted as an invitation. Puerto Rico's more open and relaxed atmosphere makes it more acceptable to enjoy a moment of genuine admiration and curiosity. They don't leer, and they don't stare, nothing in the slightest rude about it, more like generally soaking up the scenery, and it can happen anywhere, not just at the beach. While you wait at red lights, while you shop for milk, while you eat your dinner... I never adopted the custom, but if I lived on the island I think I would!Related to:
- Backpacking
Delicious Coffee
Puerto Rico has some fantastic coffee. I have tried 4 different kinds and loved them all. We had the Cafe Coqui, the Cafe Yaucono, Cafe Rico (of course) and Offecay (sounds like piglatin no?) I got so addicted to their coffee I hunted down a site that exports coffees to the US, now it's part of my every morning routine.Related to:

The Carnaval in Puerto Rico
The Carnaval is in Ponce, a city in Puerto Rico. The Carnaval is like the Rio de Janeiro carnaval. I have not attended one in Puerto Rico because I was there last June. The carnaval is held during the lent season, the carnaval being with religious beliefs (Catholicism). This Carnaval has Catholicism history and the people dress up in costumes. They whack and target the "innocents" or kids to get rid of bad spirits. Also, they target beautiful women...Related to:
- Family Travel
- Arts and Culture
- Festivals
The aroma that wafts from kitchens throughout Puerto Rico comes from adobo and sofrito -blends of herbs and spices that give many of the native foods their distinctive taste and color. Adobo, made by crushing together peppercorns, oregano, garlic, salt, olive oil, and lime juice or vinegar, is rubbed into meats before they are roasted. Sofrito, a potpourri of onions, garlic, coriander, and peppers browned in either olive oil or land and colored with achiote (annatoo seeds), imparts the bright-yellow color to the island's rice, soups, and stews.
Stews loom large in the Puerto Rican diet. They are usually cooked in a caldero or heavy kettle. A popular one is carne guisada puertorriqueña; (Puerto Rican beef stew). The ingredients that flavor the chunks of beef vary according to the cook's whims or whatever happens to be in the larder. These might include green peppers, sweet chile peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, potatoes, olives stuffed with pimientos, or capers. Seeded raisins may be added on occasion
Rum is the national drink, and you can buy it in almost any shade. Puerto Rico is the world's leading rum producer; 80% of the rum consumed in the United States hails from the island.
Today's rum bears little resemblance to the raw and grainy beverage consumed by the renegades and pirates of the Spanish Main. Christopher Columbus brought sugarcane, from which rum is distilled, to the Caribbean on his second voyage to the New World, and in virtually no time it became the regional drink.
The color of rum is usually gold, amber, or white. The lightest, driest rum is white. It can easily replace gin or vodka in dozens of mixed drinks that are eminently suited for consumption in the tropics. Many Puerto Ricans make Bloody Marys with rum instead of gin or vodka. The robust flavors of the gold or amber rums make them an effective substitute for whiskey. Whit white (clear) rum, orange juice and tonic water are the most popular mixers; amber rum is often served on the rocks. Puerto Ricans are fond of mixing it with various cola drinks. Gold rums, aged between four and six years (sometimes longer) in wooden casks are called ánejos. They are considered the most flavorful and distinctive on the island rums. They are smooth; drink them straight or on the rocks.
Bacardi is the Puerto Rican rum most widely consumed in the United States. It is followed by other popular brands, including, Ronrico, Castillo, and Don Q. The ánejos rums carry such labels as Bacardi Gold Reserve, Ron del Barrilito, and Seralles' El Dorado.
Your best introduction to Puerto Rican rum making is to visit the Bacardi distillery in Cataño, just a short ferry-boat ride across the San Juan harbor.
