Ryan Wagner from CyberNet News developed CyberSearch, a Firefox extension that lets you see Google results in the address bar. The extension adds new functionality to Firefox 3's address bar, which already shows bookmarks and other pages from your web history.
By default, CyberSearch is a little inefficient: it performs web searches as you type in the address bar and it shows Google's search results after the local results obtained by Firefox. If you type one or two letters, it's likely that the address bar will only show suggestions from your local history. For more precise queries, you should mostly see Google results. In the example below, I only had to type [new sci] to directly access New Scientist.
If you usually type your queries in Firefox's address bar, you know that sometimes Firefox sends you to the top result for your keywords (e.g.: enter [new scientist]), while in most cases you're sent to the list of search results (e.g.: the ambiguous [scientist]). CyberSearch is redundant for many navigational searches since the top results is the only one that matters and Google sends you to the top result anyway.
But there's a way to trigger the list of search results only when you need it: start your query with the special keyword "goog". Enable keywords in the options (Tools > CyberSearch Options), where you can add your own keywords that trigger results from specialized search engines like Google News or restrict the results to a single domain. For example, I added the keyword "gos" that shows Google results from this blog:
To only show search results when you start your query with a special keyword, go to Tools > CyberSearch Options, and check:
[x] Enable keywords
[x] Show only search results when a keyword is recognized
[x] Don't perform a search unless a keyword has been typed
It's difficult to determine if a result is useful without reading some snippets from the web page, so CyberSearch is great when you want to re-find specific pages from familiar sites.
This extension is based on Searchery and the same idea is used in Inquisitor, a Mac application recently acquired by Yahoo.
Other ways to search more effectively from your browser:
* Outsource Firefox's keywords to YubNub
* Tips for Google Toolbar
* Link to a page using Google AJAX Search

Reading a book on my kindle now about Omaha beach and D-day and it works there. If I highlight a word or phrase the definition box pops up and there are google and Wikipedia options at the bottom. Nice add amazon!
Kindle for iPhone and iPad gets its X-Rays on
Amazon has updated their ebook reading app for iPhone and iPad to Kindle version 3.5, and added their fancy new X-Ray feature to it, along with some improvements to manga rendering. Amazon says X-Ray lets you get "to the bones of the book" (yeah... ouch), which in less strained language means it hooks into Wikipedia and Shelfari. That means you can look up the people, places, and phrases, and descriptions from the book right inside the Kindle app. No switching required.
I mostly have comic books in Kindle, and the X-Ray button stayed grayed out for me even in the few standard books I have in my library, but if you've managed to get X-Ray working, let me know what you think of it, and how it compares to using X-Ray on Amazon's Kindle hardware proper.

Friday, September 30, 2011
My son shakes his head in dismay and disappointment as he stares at the screen. "You are doing it all wrong," he exclaims, speaking to me as if I was a wayward, naughty child caught with my hand in the cake batter, chocolate smeared across my face. He grabs the laptop and begins to scroll through other blogs that he has discovered, pointing out that I, too, need to reduce my words to the bare minimum and simply offer my readers recipes and only recipes, easy to make, easy to find, easy to access. "Who wants to read through long, rambling stories on a food blog?" I have heard, sadly I might add, the same or something similar from my husband and older son as well. "But what," I ask them, my heart pounding, breath coming short and fast, "do I do with my stories? I am, after all, first and foremost a writer! I can't just stop writing, can I? You know what they say… A writer writes….always!"
And my darling, talented friend Nanette tells me that I am limiting myself too much, trying to contain my writing to food and that I should expand my platform. And maybe she is right. Yes, okay, Nanette is always right. But what's a girl to do, a girl with limited time and limited finances?
So my solution is this: alternate my posts, every other one a story, every other one a recipe. More or less. And so it goes.
I have been away too long. New Orleans, Florida, Oman. Out of the loop. Behind. Shamefully behind. Deeba was left all alone to handle Mactweets but happily our little Mac Attack challenge was left in perfect hands. She selected and posted this month's challenge while I was off wandering the world, watching American television shows about serial killers and enjoying myself. The theme she offered us was Seasonal Macarons and as we roll gently and lazily into my favorite season, autumn, this couldn't delight me more. Thoughts of October in Tuscany, cooking and snapping photos in Italy and talking passionately about what I love the best, writing, is filling up every waking hour and dotting every conversation as we finalize details for our second From Plate to Page workshop. I have always loved fall the best, maybe because I grew up in a place where fall just doesn't exist. I adore the cool, crisp weather, the clear blue skies, the gentle breeze that floats through the house when we throw the French windows open onto a beautiful autumn day. Strolls through the vineyards or a romp in the woods with Marty and JP are comforting and enjoyable. The trees turn rustic, mellow, gorgeous, fading from green to burnished reds and matted orange. Summer with just a hint of winter, the promise of holidays and my world turns into a place I want to stay forever.
And the food! Yes, I'll miss summer's cherries and plums, peaches and nectarines, but autumn fruits are beginning to show up now, teasing and tempting and inspiring thoughts of Halloween, Thanksgiving and the approach of the holidays. Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, highlights apples and sweet golden honey, almonds and hazelnuts, an abundance of foods of the earth in greens and golds, creamy browns and deep purple. Figs and pears and mushrooms of all sorts tumble from rough wooden crates lined up at the Primeur's stall whispering to me, inviting me to take them home. And citrus. Oranges and grapefruit make their first tentative appearance and nothing means cold weather to me better than the oranges and yellows of citrus, my childhood rushing back to me with each glimpse of those fragrant heaps of fruit.
Yes, I love autumn best of all. But what do I love so much to inspire a seasonal macaron? The first thing that popped into my mind was orange and chocolate. This combination of flavors brings back family holidays with a bound: each year we offer ourselves elegantly beribboned sachets of chocolate-covered candy orange peel from the best chocolatier in Nantes, slowly savoring them one by one as we sit side by side on the livingroom sofa of an evening. Orange and chocolate together remind me of autumn as it slips into winter, as one Jewish holiday fades into another, bringing us closer together mother, father, sons and brothers.
And chestnuts. How I love chestnuts in both savories and sweets. A wonderful chestnut layer cake beautifully layered with chocolate-chestnut cream and covered in chocolate buttercream is a favorite dessert, astonishing friends who clamor for more. Who thinks of autumn or winter without thinking of chestnuts…roasting over an open fire, imparting a fabulous, earthy, woodsy scent, wrapping us in a blanket of memories?
Chocolate cinnamon macarons – cinnamon synonymous with baking, warm, toasty kitchens, scrumptious holiday snacks and lazy Sunday mornings – sandwiching a rich, creamy dark chocolate ganache. And more: in half the macarons I placed a dollop of tangy, sweet and bitter orange marmalade and in half I added a smear of chestnut cream. What flavors say autumn more than chocolate combined with orange or chestnut?
7.2 oz (200 g) confectioner's/powdered sugar
4 oz (115 g) ground blanched almonds
3 large egg whites (about 3.8 – 4 oz/ 110 – 112 g)
1 oz (30 g) white granulated sugar
1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Prepare 2 large baking sheets. On 2 large pieces of white paper the size of your baking sheets, trace 1 – inch diameter circles (I used the wide end of my pastry tip) evenly spaced, leaving about ¾ - 1 inch between each circle. This will be your template to help you pipe even circles of batter onto the parchment paper. You will be able to reuse these endlessly. Place one paper on each baking sheet then cover with parchment paper. Set aside. Prepare a pastry bag with a plain tip.
Sift the powdered sugar, the ground almonds, the cocoa powder and the cinnamon together into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a standing mixer or with a hand mixer, whip the egg whites for 30 seconds on low speed then increase speed to high and whip until the whites are foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar as you continue to whip the whites until you obtain a glossy meringue and all of the sugar has been beaten in. The meringue will be very stiff (turn the bowl upside down over your head and they shouldn't move) and be dense like marshmallow.
Gently but firmly fold the whipped whites into the powdered sugar/ground almonds/cocoa, using a silicon spatula or the equivalent, turning the bowl as you lift and fold, making sure you fold in all the dry ingredients completely. When the batter is ready to pipe, it should flow from the spatula like lava or a thick ribbon. To test to see if you have folded it enough, drop a small amount onto a clean plate and jiggle it slightly. The top should flatten, not remain in a point. If it doesn't flatten, give the batter a few more folds and test again. You can also fold the powdered mixture into the meringue if it is easier for you.
Fill your pastry bag with the batter. Pipe circles onto the parchment paper, using the traced circles on the template sheets to guide you, holding your pastry bag above each circle and piping into the center. DO NOT FORGET TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THE WHITE PAPER TEMPLATE FROM UNDERNEATH THE PARCHMENT PAPER. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS TEMPLATE TO GO IN THE OVEN!
Preheat your oven to 280°F (140°C).
Allow the macarons to sit out for about an hour or even longer if the shells are not ready to bake. The top of each shell should form a "skin" (it will feel like it hardened a bit when gently touched and not stick to your skin). Bake the shells for 15 – 25 minutes, depending on their size (when I touched macs that were not quite done, the top jiggled a bit as if there was still a bit of liquid batter between the top and the "feet" so I let it continue to bake another minute.) I turn the trays back to front halfway through the baking.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately slide the parchment paper with the shells off of the hot baking sheet and onto a surface, table or countertop. Allow to cool completely before sliding the shells very gently off of the parchment by slipping a metal cake spatula under the shell as you lift it up or by peeling the parchment paper from the back of the shells. Be careful or the center of the shell risks sticking to the parchment.
When the macaron shells are cool, pair the shells up evenly, each with a matching partner. Smear a half teaspoon or more of either orange marmalade or sweetened chestnut cream onto the bottom shell of each pair. Pipe a dollop, about a teaspoon, of ganache filling on top of the marmalade or chestnut cream. Carefully sandwich the shells together.
Feel free to use a bittersweet or semisweet chocolate or any of the flavored chocolates now available – orange chocolate, for example, in your ganache.
Optional but highly recommended
A few tablespoons bitter or sweet orange marmalade
A few tablespoons vanilla-scented sweetened chestnut cream
½ cup (125 ml) heavy cream
4 ¼ oz (120 g) Lindt Excellence 70% Dark Chocolate (I used Doux) or your favorite chocolate
Chop the chocolate and put in an appropriately-sized pyrex (heatproof) bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan gently until it comes just to the boil. Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and stir until all of the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and luxurious. Allow to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. It should thicken to a spreading/piping consistency. If you need to, speed up the process by placing in the refrigerator until desired spreading/piping consistency, stirring occasionally.

I've also been told the same thing by a friend (I understand her point, but with the long texts, my posts are soulless), but from the reactions I get people seem to like my rambling and if they don't then they can just admire the pictures and recipe! ;-P
Gorgeous macarons! I would love to taste them. Those also have to be my favorite flavors...
- September 30, 2011 at 7:39 AM

Chestnut cream and marmalade? Yum! I think chocolate macarons have to be my all-time favourites...and the flavours you've used here are so beautifully autumnal and interesting. Can't wait to see what next month's challenge will be :-)

These are precious! Your macarons look perfect. What a delicious flavor combo you chose!

What wonderful, exquisite flavours. I love chocolate and orange together, and chestnut cream is one of my favourites! Beautiful macarons!

- Aimée @ Food: Je t'Aimée said...
I think in every comment I've ever left you, I've said something about how much I love your stories and how they make me feel.
Please keep telling them! I come to your blog in equal parts for the recipe and for a story. I anticipate the story. I get a cup of tea.
I understand the point they're making, but... you're a writer! The stories make me feel more connected to the recipe. They make me more likely and desirous to try and replicate it! There are other blogs I visit in order to snag quick recipes...
All in my opinion of course... :) End rant!
Beautiful macs, Jamie. I, too, am compltely enamoured with fall and its flavours. I *will* try macs this winter - I will!
- September 30, 2011 at 8:53 AM
- Jamie said...
@Aimée: Thank you! Thank you! Sometimes I need to hear that and it is so appreciated. Some people do not understand. And the writing is part of my soul and impossible to keep in!
- September 30, 2011 at 8:56 AM
- Deeba PAB said...
Kisses to you my love, many of them! Don't let those 'men' cramp your style hun. This is a different ball game altogether; they know not! So good to have you back in the fold, doing the MacQueen thing. These are gorgeous as always, with flavours that steal my heart! Mmmmm

I'll never get tired of macaron. Chocolate is family favorite, and I can go pretty much with any flavor. Yours look superb as always.
- September 30, 2011 at 1:10 PM
- Barbara | Creative Culinary said...
You could almost get me to try making macarons again Jamie with this entry into the fold. They look and sound perfect. And remember, I said 'almost.'
- September 30, 2011 at 1:12 PM
- Barbara | Creative Culinary said...
You know what, I did not comment on the 'men' and their opinions but in reading through comments and thinking of it a bit more, I feel I must.
I feel so strongly about this one thing. It is YOUR blog. Neither a husband, a father, a son, or a friend get to tell you what to do with it. When you start to listen to what others think it 'should' be, how authentic will it be. You need to write what is in your heart and head, whatever that may be.
I write because I feel I have to; it really is not what I love and it doesn't matter that I majored in English and 'can' write, it matters that with limited time that I prefer the creativity of the kitchen and the photo studio. (OK, the dining room).
So, I'm going to ignore the voices of those that say this medium belongs to writers. Or foodies. Or photogs. I think it belongs to US, ourselves, to channel and share and do what we want. If we start to do only what others tell us to do...well tell them to start their own damn blog. IMHO. ;)

Beautiful perfect macarons and I love the Rosh Hashanah inspiration. L'Shanah Tovah Jamie to you and your family and don't ever stop writing your wonderful long stories.
- September 30, 2011 at 2:29 PM
- Maia said...
It can be quite painful when those who love you most "just don't get it." As tough as it can be to accept... they don't have to. Certainly their opinions have value, and there is a lot to be gained from discussing these things with them; but you above all others know what you have to offer the blogging community, and how to share your thoughts in a way that is true to yourself. That comes through in your writing! You can see by your growing readership and comments like the ones above that, even if your closest family may not "get it," plenty of others do! Anyway, the macs look great - delicious flavor combination!
- September 30, 2011 at 5:07 PM
- HI Cookery said...
Wow, looks like at least 3 of us did the choc cinnamon macs! :-) Can't go wrong with that combo. I liked how you dusted the tops with cocoa powder--adds a delicate finish to them. Beautiful job as always!
- September 30, 2011 at 6:16 PM
- Anna said...
Thanks for the macaroons recipe...I will be putting them in my big glass container with little colorful accessories and it can be a centerpiece in my table...for my daughter's bday party!
- September 30, 2011 at 7:16 PM

Chocolate macs are my favorite and the orange marmalade must be a heavenly addition!
- September 30, 2011 at 7:50 PM
- Sukaina said...
Oh what does the son and husband know! I think you should stick to what you're doing.....and doing well....very well! If I'm very honest, I come here for the writing first and foremost! Lovely macs- must try y hand at amcs sometime soon before they go out of fashion!
- September 30, 2011 at 10:01 PM
- Sanjeeta kk said...
One reason for complain could that be you might have reduced baking goodies at home. Pamper your men with all the good food but please don't let us starve from something which we all come here for :)
The Macs look lovely.

You've just reminded me how much I love chestnut, but yet I have not made any chestnut dessert in the recent years. Your precious bite-size gems are lovely as always.

I think you can guess what I'm going to say. What would a food blog be without the stories? It would just be a list of ingredients, and who wants that? Keep writing your stories and we will always read them x

- Nancie McDermott said...
You know where I land in terms of the fence between RECIPES! RECIPES! RECIPES! and a feast of words, ideas, and inspiration. I'm over here in the greenest pastures of words, and you are so brilliant to do both. Recipes planted amongst the words: I love it. And how beautifully you present the recipe --- your photos instruct me in the process while appearing to be created solely for beauty. I have never made macarons,and considered them beyond my baking ken, until this post. I think I will make some as part of my holiday baking this year.
- October 1, 2011 at 6:41 AM
- Jan said...
Your macarons are beautiful!
I think, that if you like to write your stories, then you should write/post them. This is your blog. And obviously, you need to appeal to your audience, but at the same time, I'm sure those not interested in reading, won't read even if you write 2 lines, and will just scroll ahead to the recipe.... Well, that's just my opinion (from somebody who probably writes a little too much sometimes as well).
- October 1, 2011 at 7:09 AM
- WiseMóna said...
We had a beet macaron last night as a canapé before supper. The Chef said he was going to try to make them - and he is not a macaron fan at all. We just saw your recipe and he is going to try it out next week sometime! He loves chocolate. As for the men in your life....well, listen to your heart Jamie. My Mum and the Chef offer constant criticism or helpful advice ( call it what you will) all the time. Half of it goes right over my head and the other half I take on board. It is so hard to take advice from those we love and live with. But they mean you no I'll Jamie. They love you are are just offering advice because they want you to be the best that you can be. My average blog post is 1500 words and I think that is a bit too long so am trying to limit myself to 1,000 words for a while and see how it goes.
Love your stories, long or short xxxxx
- October 1, 2011 at 10:00 AM
- Jamie said...
@WiseMona: I don't think you should limit your words either so maybe post your stories separately (I think you already do) and allow us to sink into your beautiful words. I need to create a website like you have with categories. xo
- October 1, 2011 at 10:03 AM
- Jamie said...
@Eggs on the Roof: I saw your name pop up as a comment on this post and I knew what you were going to say before I read your comment :-) We think alike. Want a recipe just open a cookbook. We want the stories behind the food. Or even without food at all. Right? Write!
- October 1, 2011 at 10:05 AM
- Jamie said...
@Nancie McDermott: Ah, you inspire me! Yes, you do! I love words as much as you do (many here do) and when my friends encourage me with such lovely compliments then I can only write.

"Who wants to read through long, rambling stories on a food blog?"
Me :)
I agree also with your friend. You way of writing is great, I love it. You're able to tell stories and emotions with lucullian macarons and without. I'm sure.
- October 1, 2011 at 11:42 AM
- Sarah, Maison Cupcake said...
Jamie, I think I have the solution for you; start a separate blog and publish the story there but the recipe here. Then you link from one to the other so everyone can take a bite of both bits or just the one they like. Then you'll have TWO fabulous blogs instead of one!
I love these macarons (choc orange is my all time favourite flavour combo) and I'm dying to get back into Mactweets now - we MUST catch up ASAP now I'm bit freer again. xx

Jamie, I would be PLEASED to read more of your stories, peu importe le sujet, it´s YOU, your `company´, your writing and of course your recipes on food and life what I truly enjoy.
Listen to your gut and go ahead girl!.
ps. I would love to taste those chocolate cinnamon macarons. 3 of my fav flavors/french sweet confections altogether!!. Can you send some over?

Never lose your stories. That is what sets you apart from the countless recipe blogs. BTW, I had to laugh when you mentioned watching the serial killer shows while in the US. We are a pathetic mess over here...Anyway, love these perfect fall flavors and your photos are beautiful! :)

A comment from Jamie is like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds :)
I have loved chestnuts since my paternal grandma would always roast and serve them with fresh fruit in the living room, about an hour afte dinner and loaded cakes and pastries. What a stunning and delicious macaron. Chocolate ganache, chestnut cream and orange marm in a cinnamon-chocolate shell looks and sounds delectable.
As for your blog, you own it, it's your thoughts, creations and dreams - no such thing as doing it 'wrong'. March on little soldier :)

Chocolate with warm cinnamon in a cute little cookie that's crisp and chewy. Dessert doesn't get any better than that. ;)

Hi Jamie, first of all, thank you so much for visiting and for your lovely comment on my first macarons. Coming from you, a queen of macarons, is an honor to me :o) Thanks for inviting me for the mac tweets, I don't know if I can handle it yet, but I will definitely take a closer look.
And your writing... please don't change it! There will obviously be people who don't have the time to read it all, but it will be there for those who do. Your words come in like music to the ears, you write beautifully!
Your themed macarons are gorgeous, and the flavor combination is so intriguing, I'd love to try that!
- October 3, 2011 at 4:27 PM
- Jill @ MadAboutMacarons said...
Oh Jamie, I loved the story part that came with the macarons. Now that is a wonderful idea to alternate stories and recipes if it's to keep family happy. We're perfectly happy with stories AND recipes :-)
Your macarons look too tempting, especially with favourite combinations. The orange part made me think of Scotland, coming home from school as kids - absolutely frozen to the bone - and Mum would brisken our walk by saying there were oranges by the fire.
And who could resist these macarons? Love the touch of chestnut and chocolate together. I must try this - would keep Corsican-chestnut-lover-hubby happy!

If a friend walked into your lounge and said "you shouldn't have a green sofa, you should really get a red one" - would you do it? Probably not - and the same goes for your blog! It's your online living room and there you get to do what YOU want!
Autumn is one of my favourite times of year too - and I LOVE the chocolate-orange combo!
- October 6, 2011 at 3:43 AM
- mlaiuppa said...
Chocolate and orange is my favorite combination.
Baskin and Robbins used to have a wonderful flavor called Mandarin Chocolate Sherbet. It looked positively black and tasted positively decadent. They did away with it. I heard because the dye they used was outlawed by the FDA, then because it wasn't a popular flavor, then because it was too expensive to make. Who knows?
But it was wonderful.

Legislation looking to grant "personhood" to a human from fertilization has been introduced in the S.C. House and Senate and has support from many local delegates.
The concept of personhood has been pushed for more than a decade as a way to subvert federal laws relating to abortion.
The bill would mean the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade could be pushed aside using the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gives states the right to control issues not specifically related to the Constitution.
The anti-abortion bill contends that "a human being is a person at fertilization," according to the Senate version of the bill, and that the "right to life for each born and pre-born human being vests at fertilization," in the House bill.
Locally, Sen. Tom Young and Reps. Roland Smith, Don Wells and William Hixon are listed as sponsors on the bills.
The "Personhood Act of South Carolina" was introduced by Rep. Joshua Putnam, R-Anderson, on Feb 22.
The Senate version, filed Feb. 28, came from Lee Bright, R-Greenville. This is the third time Bright has introduced this legislation.
Earlier versions of personhood bills have been active in the House in all of the 15 years since the concept was first introduced.
PersonhoodUSA is a pro-life lobbying group "working to respect the God-given right to life by recognizing all human beings as persons ... from the beginning of their biological development, without exceptions," according the organization's website.
Opponents of the bill have argued that the act is constitutionally invalid, in that it is specifically tied to a subset of one religion's beliefs and demands the entire General Assembly acknowledges the concept of "personhood" as defined by the lobby.
The language used picks from the South Carolina and U.S. Constitution, altered by the lexicon of the anti-abortion group.
"The General Assembly acknowledges all persons are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," the act reads. "The General Assembly acknowledges personhood is God-given, as all men are created in the image of God."

Hello everyone,
I searched the forum for some solution to the following:
when i play a sling load mission i can pick up the cargo but can't release it. Rope interaction button doesn't do anything.
By mistake i noticed that unloading only works when i get out of the chopper and board it as gunner.
Is that the way it should be?
Am I the only one who faced this effect?
Greets and a happy new year


text: Im not going to lie, I was hoping for a shit ton of trash talking leading up to this fight, however in recent interviews and public events, it looks like these 2 have grown to be quite close. If any of you saw the hour long interview the other day on the Boomer and Carton show, it was like these two were playing off each other. They both were making jokes and laughing together. They wouldn't trash talk one another or even send any verbal jabs. I don't like what Im seeing with these two respecting the other, as stupid as that sounds. Here is a link to their interview, then click the link for the Jones Sonnen segment: Audio On Demand

"Man, I spent a whole week meeting him every day," dos Santos said. "At first there were some heat in the staredowns, but that was it. Imagine a whole week, more than once a day? We went to a TV show and started laughing, then we couldnt stare each other without laughing. I couldnt look to his eyes anymore."
The possibility of former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier dropping to the 205-pound division in the future was one of the topics of the conversation, but "Cigano" believes it will never happen.
"Hes not (dropping to 205 pounds)," dos Santos said. "And you know why? Because I will defeat Cain, and he will want to fight me."
"Cigano" spent the whole lunch sitting side by side with his ex-wife Vilsana Picolli, who remains as one of his managers. But that didnt stop the fighter from praising TUF 18 coaches Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey, who attended some of the media events with him during the tour.
"I was impressed on how Miesha is gorgeous," dos Santos praised. "Not that Ronda isnt beautiful, but lets say shes more regular. Shes cute. But Miesha is really gorgeous. Have you seen here already? On TV, I thought she was normal, but when I met her My God!"

Rated 5 out of 5�by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jc Best product I've ever purchased! I've been playing golf for a little over 3 years now and I've always had a problem slicing my driver. I hit my irons pretty well so I knew there was doing different but didn't know what. I've tried taking lessons, buying drivers and using other swing aids but nothing I've done has showed any results. I purchased this product after a recommendation from a friend who is the best golfer I know. I used it at the range one day and had great results! I've been just swinging it at the house when I get home from work just to teach my muscles the proper tempo and swing plane and the results are phenomenal! I played both days this weekend and only missed about 2 fairways per round, and those weren't off by much. The best I have ever done by far. This is going to make golf alot more fun for me because Im not used to being bad at any type of sports. A+++ May 1, 2012

Devils and Stump Lakes Long-Range Probabilistic Outlook The National Weather Service is providing long-range probabilistic hydrologic outlooks for Devils and Stump lakes between January and September. They will not be provided between October and December. The AHPS graphics associated with this outlook will be on the web no later than 10:30 AM this Friday under the experimental long-range flood risk tab at... water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=fgf Depending on the season, the high or low water probabilities may be omitted due to their applicability to the hydrologic situation. Refer to the scheduling section farther on in this message. . Chances of Devils and Stump Lakes rising above given lake levels... This outlook assumes maximum state outlet pumping at 600 cfs. The probability of exceeding a given lake level is the percentage of maximum lake level rises that are above that level for all the years that were run through the model using the precipitation and temperatures for those years during the valid period of the outlook. Interpretation Aid...There is a 50 percent chance that Devils Lake will rise above 1451.8 feet during the valid period and only a 5 percent chance that it will rise above 1452.2 feet.

Chances of Devils and Stump Lakes falling below given lake levels... The probability of not exceeding a given lake level is the percentage of lake level falls that are below that level for all the years that were run through the model using the precipitation and temperatures for those years during the valid period of the outlook. Interpretation Aid...There is a 50 percent chance that Devils Lake will fall below xxxxxx feet during the valid period and only a 5 percent chance that it will fall below xxxxxx feet. Probabilities for non-exceeding listed lake levels LOCATION 95% 90% 75% 50% 25% 10% 05% -------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ The non-exceedance value for a listed percentage is the value where that percentage of all model cases run were below that lake level for the specified valid period of the outlook. . Outlook Schedule... - Between January and May, only the high water exceedances will be provided with valid periods ending at the end of September. - For June and July, both high-water and low-water exceedances will be provided. - For August and September, only the low-water exceedances will be provided with valid periods ending at the end of November. - No probability of exceedance/non-exceedance information will be given from October through December, since lake freeze-up levels will be given in the fall outlooks previously issued. . Additional Information... Wind and Wave forecasts for Devils and Stump lakes are available for a seven day period when the lakes are sufficiently ice-free at: www.crh.noaa.gov/fgf/hydro/lake_Fcst.php Additionally, 7 day lake evaporation forecasts are available during the growing season at: www.crh.noaa.gov/fgf/climate/farm_info.php The long-range probabilistic outlook is based on high and low lake levels that were calculated for the valid period using multiple scenarios of temperature and precipitation from 1949 to 2012 and current conditions of the lake, snowcover (in winter), and soil moisture. A YouTube video on "How to Interpret River Outlook Products" is at: www.youtube.com/watchv?=pSoEgvsnpv4 By providing the complete range of lake level probabilities, the amount of risk associated with long-range planning decisions can be determined. These probabilistic outlooks are part of Noah`s National Weather Service`s Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (AHPS). This outlook is also presented as probability graphs of lake height for the full period as well as weekly probabilities. The outlook graphics and explanations that help in interpreting these outlooks are available from the NWS Grand Forks AHPS web page on the internet at: water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?/wfo=fgf Outlook graphics of the probabilities of exceeding various lake levels for Devils and Stump lakes are also on out web site.

Are we going to be spared the weekly Jerry and Wade interviews now that the Cowboys are on 105.3? If so, they won't be missed.
They did the Jerry Jones show and the coach interview long before they had the broadcasting rights.Originally Posted by Genco
Yeah, but the Fan took the Jerry and Wade interviews when they got the broadcast rights. They also got Witten. I don't know how we're gonna survive without 'em.Originally Posted by HornMafia
Disappointed to hear they got Witten. I'd like to see Bad Radio get Dan Campbell back as a weekly guest. He and Aikman are the best interviews on the Ticket.
if i am not mistaken, they replaced Witted with Bradie James for a weekly show

easily one of the best days of the ticket. last time (maybe the only time????) was dan, gordon and little girl greggo was it not?
I remember it being done twice...George, Greggo, Gordon on one, and Mike, Corby, Craig on the other. If there was another, I don't recall Bob or Dan being involved.Originally Posted by NOMAAA
it was george, not dan. thats right.
if it includes Gordo, excellent.
if it does not include Gordo, not quite as excellent
if it includes Grubes on the board doing drops, then allsome.
i would like Jub Jub (stability), Gordo (reckless abandon), and Corby (in between), with Danny "directing" and Grubes on the board.
Please make this happen. If it doesn't Grubes, I promise my little friend, I will give you no funeral.
I'll definitely be on the board for it. No word on hosts yet. I just heard the first rumblings about this today. Will try to update as I get more info, but I'm sure we'll be promoting the hell out of this soon...
Tune in next Wednesday for an IMPORTANT STATION ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
Hey Grubes. Can you get Gordo and Corby to start doing the Rant again on Saturday mornings.

BaD Radio has Jan from THE OFFICE in studio. She's going to the Rangers game tonight. Dan nearly won the E Brake of the Year by asking if she got breast implants like Jan on the show. It was slightly uncomfortable there until Donovan brought everything back online.
"Jan" just sang her BaD Radio liner. Painful.
haha yea it was. Grubes is definitely using that later.
Grubes, please save us from another boring, drop-less Wade conference.
"Surprise, I'm here!"
that was allsome. right as Corby was defending watching Vikings football over baseball, and the boys were getting into it, BOOM!
as for Football Theater 1310, sounds like there might be some legal issues. fear that The Fan or somebody will issue a cease & desist if The Ticket "broadcasts" the game when The Fan has exclusive rights. interesting.
if i remember right, which i have already proved i dont, wasnt it on a pretty good sized delay last time?
Haha...I think it was on a 2-4 second delay for the most part. We'd bump it up or down throughout the game, but I can't remember the reason why.Originally Posted by NOMAAA
They did it before when KRLD was the official station and had no legal issues. As long as they aren't broadcasting the actual game sound, they should be fine. ESPN Radio usually does running commentary on games and doesn't get sued.
Grubes FTW! that might be my favorite drop ever. greggo's "have another Marlboro Red, bitch."
FYI: Big Dumb Danny Balis's solo album dropped Tuesday. You can get it at Good Records and on iTunes. (Speaking of the latter, looks like the P1's have already infiltrated the comments section -- it's got 4.5 stars off 24 reviews, including one that is simply titled "I've got a flask in my car if you guys want to join me for an after-hours drink." Another 5-star rating titled "I like steak" reads "If you like steak, you'll like this record." Another says, "This is a great album. Play it again." And, lastly, another 5-star rater simply writes out Greggo's infamous David Kunkle "interview.")
Anyway, I heard part of one song before I had to head into the house after work. It sounds pretty good and I'll probably get it to support Danny, though it's awful hard for me to get away from thinking this-is-the-guy-that-does-all-the-funny-songs-on-The-Ticket ... his "What's On Mike's Mind?" songs are $#@!ing hilarious and it's hard for me to get past that.
It's hard for me to take Danny seriously given how he $#@!s on everyone else's music. It sounds good but his smugness is so off putting.
Though I wonder if this returns after last week's disaster. I thought for sure they were just going to hang up on him.
He's not as smug as NOMAAA when it comes to music. I kid, I kid.Originally Posted by mdmost
I tuned into the Hardline as they were in the middle of playing one of the songs yesterday, and I had the same problem. It sounded like a good old school country song, but I kept waiting for it to turn into a bit. Even after I caught on, I still kept expecting Acoustic Douche to show up.Originally Posted by C-Man
my ass. danny is the smuggest of the smug. doesnt even give most stuff a chance. feel like he is one of those guys that only likes stuff if he discovers it and if he doesnt he says it sucks without giving it a chance. he is my leader.Originally Posted by C-Man

As for the protests, those would get more press if the protesters had a topic and a leader or publicist, someone who was capable of defining the protest. Without a topic, without organization, it's a boring story, just a bunch of people out enjoying the nice autumn weather and complaining about everything.
It isn't a blackout. The protesters can't even find a common slogan. Beyond the fact that protesters are blocking the streets and getting arrested for that, there's not that much else to report.

Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: Who Will Play Anastasia Steele?
The Fifty Shades of Grey movie hasn't settled on its Christian Grey, and the same goes for the role of the billionaire BDSM enthusiast's impressionable protegée, Anastasia Steele.
The following hot young actresses have either dodged, shot down, or otherwise addressed rumors that they're being considered for the part. A couple of them have merely risen to the top in fan-generated dream-casting polls. Read on for a roundup of ladies willing — or not remotely willing (ahem, Selena Gomez) — to lose their innocence on the big screen.
Lucy Hale: Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale is currently leading our dream-casting poll with 22% of the votes. "I'm definitely a huge fan of the books. Obviously I'd be thrilled to be a part of it, but I think it's in the very beginning stages of it all," the actress revealed in the September issue of Haute Muse.
Emma Watson: After Emma Watson was supposedly confirmed via a hacked report, the Perks of Being a Wallflower star tweeted, "Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life."
Kristen Stewart: While the Twilight star hasn't expressed any direct interest in the role of Ana, she has commented on the erotic bestseller. "[I]t's just so raunchy!" she exclaimed in an interview with Backstage. "I mean, obviously, everyone knows that. But when I see people reading it on planes and stuff, I'm genuinely creeped out. Like, you're basically just reading porn right now! Get that blanket off your lap!"
Selena Gomez: Selena filmed a Fifty Shades parody for Funny or Die, but that doesn't mean she'd jump at the chance to tap into her sexy side for reals. "I know I'm taking risks but I don't think I could do that," she told MTV News. "That would be a little too much for me."
Nina Dobrev: Nina Dobrev's real-life boyfriend and Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder is a favorite for the role of Christian, and fans would be creepily psyched to see the couple take their love into the Red Room on the big screen.
However, Nina doesn't think it'd be a great idea. "I think it's best for any of the actors on The Vampire Diaries to kind of do their own things and create new characters," Nina told MTV. Otherwise, "fans will […] see me as Elena and they'll see him as Damon if we do a film together."
Elizabeth Olsen: Despite being a rumored leading candidate for Ana, breakout indie star Elizabeth Olsen dismissed the casting buzz in an interview with Bullett, exclaiming, "No! No! No!"
Alexis Bledel: Mad Men Season 5 guest star and former Gilmore Girls heroine Alexis Bledel is one of several fan favorites for the role.
Katie Cassidy: The Arrow star's response to getting her name in the mix for either Ana or Ana's best friend Kate? "Yes please." How polite!
Rumer Willis: Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's eldest daughter made it into the casting "Rumer" mill when she was photographed getting her PDA on with boyfriend Jayson Blair in Miami in early November.
Ashley Greene: Twilight star Ashley Greene has gained traction among fans of the books, but she's likely a no go, considering author E. L. James is reportedly aiming to distance the Fifty Shades films from the tween vampire franchise.
Mila Kunis: Her name has been mentioned as a possibility, but would Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive bring enough innocence to the table?
While fielding what must have been her umpteenth Fifty Shades casting question during a press junket for Oz the Great and Powerful, Mila said, "Gosh, this Fifty Shades of Grey thing is just not gonna leave, is it? No, you will not see me in Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm so sorry."
Keira Knightley: In a December 2012 Q&A with MTV, Keira shot down any possibility of her getting cast in the role — despite her prior experience filming S&M scenes for A Dangerous Method. "You know, I normally don't like to give a definite about anything, [but] I can definitely say it will not be Fifty Shades of Grey," she said.
Felicity Jones: British actress Felicity Jones stars opposite Chris Hemsworth in a Fifty Shades of Grey YouTube fan video. When asked if she'd actually be up for the part, Felicity dished to Metro News, "It all depends on the filmmaker and script, just like any other job. Anyway, I've heard there's lots of campaigns by fans pushing other brunette actresses, but I guess I should thank this person who went to all that trouble."
Krysten Ritter: Don't trust the buzz related to the b— in Apartment 23. On the topic of whether she's really being considered for Ana, Krysten told Wetpaint Entertainment, "It's just a rumor." However, she was quick to add, "It's flattering to even have my name mentioned. I love that my fans thought of me for it."
Emilia Clarke: The Game of Thrones actress recently came out on top in a Latinos Post dreamcasting poll for the role of Ana.

McGregor, currently on the mend following a knee surgery, often fills his time with Twitter-based Q&A sessions with fans. The questions range from training/fighting to shopping to life ambitions to his favorite ring girl (the Irishman is partial to Carly Baker, by the way). The tone is rarely serious.
But when one fan asked him, sexually, whether he prefers Rousey or Tate, McGregor responded, "One riidin d--k, one lickin ma toessssss." It's a line from Dr. Dre's "Let's Get High," though not everyone seemed to get the reference.
McGregor subsequently deleted the tweet and issued an apology.
He wrote: "I would like to personally apologize to both Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate. This morning I quoted a song on Twitter in an attempt to make a joke, which I now I see was totally unacceptable and offensive. I have infinite respect for Miesha and Ronda as individuals and as athletes. I have always been a big fan of women's MMA and the incredible talented athletes that compete in the sport. I regret making this offensive comment and I sincerely apologize to anyone whom I offended, but especially Ronda and Miesha."
It's probably a safe bet that his management team or the UFC helped craft the apology. But at least from one of the female fighting notables, there were no hard feelings.
As Tate tweeted in response to McGregor: "its all good, appreciate the apology but I knew you were just joking!"

McFarlane Toys is set to unleash the next evolution of our continuing dragons mythos with McFarlane's Dragons Series 3. Made up of a five figure assortment, as well as a deluxe boxed set, all of the Dragon Clans are represented by an array of new and exciting species -- some more dangerous than others, but all most certainly a threat to the rule of mankind.
In an ancient realm where legendary beasts are thought to be nothing more than whispers on the wind, a new collection of Dragons comes forth into the world. The mysterious Dragon Clans grow larger with each passing year as new species swoop down from the clouds or emerge into the light of a new day from their cavernous homes amongst the jagged mountain peaks. Seldom seen by man, those of you reading this should count yourselves lucky, as you will be the first to see creatures which until now had been thought to be nothing more than myth.
Berserker Dragon Clan 3 -- A ferocious and mindless beast with a rage unmatched in the natural world. The demonic features of this particular dragon have led some to proclaim it the "Devil's Beast." A creature that has clawed its way up through the crust of the Earth from the depths of hell itself. Of course, this is only legend, a folktale to scare small children. Or so the people tell themselves.
Eternal Dragon Clan 3 -- Nesting atop a high perch, a member of the Eternal Dragon Clan is ever watchful against predators as she gives birth to a new crop of winged hatchlings. Known mostly from the stories of the "Winged Riders," it is said that humans have captured and tamed Eternal Dragons for use as transportation -- as well as for other, more terrifying deeds.
Fire Dragon Clan 3 -- The lava pits of the volcanic Northern Range are ill equipped to sustain human life, but there are monsters that have no such worries of the flesh-searing heat and sulfuric air. Venomous and unpredictable, the Fire Dragon Clan is said to guard large treasures from long-lost civilizations. None, however, have lived to tell the truth of such tales.
Komodo Dragon Clan 3 -- From far-off lands come tales of "dragon warriors" -- beasts fitted with armor and sent forth to destroy in the name of some unknown cause. It all seems rather peculiar to the ears of the common man, but there soon may come a time when the clouds of a new war cover the land and the unthinkable will become as commonplace as the fields of the dead and dying said to be left in the wake of these giant, living weapons.
Water Dragon Clan 3 -- The crystal blue waters of the Southern seas have long been home to some of the best fishing waters the planet over. But something dangerous lurks down deep beneath the waves, where the pure blue fades to midnight black and the broken hulls of a thousand ships serve as the forgotten tombs of sailors long since lost to the land of the living. Many have made a very nice life for themselves hoisting their nets into these waters, but they do so with the knowledge that members of the Water Dragon Clan glide somewhere down there, through the darkness below.
Sorcerers Dragon Clan 3 (deluxe boxed set) -- To most, dragons are nothing more than superstitious tales spun to entertain or frighten. Dragons, to most, never have and never will truly exist, but there are those who know better. How long men of magic and the wise dragons of the Sorcerers Dragon Clan have gathered to conduct clandestine rituals is unknown. Yet, across the lands, hidden away from the prying eyes of the huddled masses, secret meetings between unlikely associates are conducted upon sacred altars.
McFarlane's Dragons: Quest for the Lost King Series 3, including an all-new chapter in the on-going Dragons mythology written by Todd McFarlane, is scheduled to be released early in 2006. Stay tuned to spawn.com for more details.

Review Details
Suki Exfoliate Foaming Body Cleanser
- Product Review (submitted on October 25, 2012):
- I love this body scrub. While Suki's facial products did not work wonders for me, this body exfoliating wash in conjunction with the velvet moisturizing cream really makes my back, chest, and arms feel silky smooth. Also, it has really reduced the number of blemishes and bumps I get on my back and chest from a handful to only one pimple once in a while. I would recommend this with the velvet moisturizing cream to all!

I feel dirty. I feel dirty because the United States government wanted to blow up the moon to prove to the Soviet Union what big bad asses we were. Flashback: The Cold War. We had bombs, they had bombs, but we (maybe) had a better space program, so the idea was, according to reports in the Daily Mail, to launch an atom bomb to the moon and have it detonate and scare the Ruskies. Carl Sagan was in on plan, innocuously called "A Study of Lunar Research Flights" and nicknamed "Project A119″ which could have been carried off by 1959. What a load of dumb asses. Were they high?! Luckily saner minds prevailed, citing
danger to people on Earth in case the mission failed. The scientists also registered concerns about contaminating the moon with radioactive material.
Um, duh.
Meanwhile the kid on Two and Half Men had a Come to Jesus Moment, literally, when the scales fell from his eyes, and he realized the show that has made him filthy rich is in fact
Oh the show sucks. But I kinda gotta wonder why he stuck around until he was 19. Expect the show to end. Thank you, Jesus.
And in other Hollywood news, J.R.R. Tolkien's heirs are really upset because there are plans for a Lord of the Rings slot machine game, per the Hollywood Reporter. In 1969, the heirs made a deal with the Saul Zaentz Co. who later got Warner Bros involved which is why there is now a Lord of the Rings trilogy of films and a Hobbit movie. According to the suit:
Warners and the other defendants have "with increasing boldness, engaged in a continuing and escalating pattern of usurping rights to which they are not entitled," the estate argues. For example, their rights include only "tangible" merchandise, not downloadable video games available only on mobile devices or tablets or Facebook. "Defendants also have asserted and continue to assert that they have rights relating to a wide variety of goods and services beyond 'articles of tangible personal property' and have registered trademarks and/or filed 'intent to use' applications in those same categories, including without limitation hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, ringtones, online/downloadable games and housing developments — categories of rights which plainly have not been granted to them."
But wait, if you download the game onto your device, it is tangible personal property, isn't it? And aren't housing developments tangible? Wait what? HOBBIT HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS? Oh gods, no! Please make it stop!

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
Editor's Note: This letter was sent to The Valley Reporter contributing writer Lizzy Hewitt in response to a request for updates on rebuilding on Bridge Street. (See related story, Page 7 of this weeks Valley Reporter.)
Hi Lizzy,
Sorry we didn't get your message until today. Hopefully we are still in time: We do have some news. We actually would like to publish something in one of the sections of your newspaper.
We find ourselves in a situation that we might not be alone fighting.
We have built MINT from scratch into an amenity to the area, the community and a fairly successful restaurant by our standards. We could do this because we believed we were standing on a firm physical and administrative ground. That has all changed with the recent flood. The physical space became not so sound anymore but we still believed that the administrative ground still stood firm. Today that has changed also.
Our flood insurance claim has been denied based on the claim from Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company that our business is located in a basement. We are outraged! We feel cheated on several levels.
This is what I am thinking: If we are allowed to rent a space in a building, if the town allows the building to rent this space to operate as a restaurant, if we got septic, water, if we can get a permit from the department of health, a liquor license from the state and if we can buy insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, I think because the town of Waitsfield elected flood plain zoning then all this should suggest that we are putting our business in a space that is suitable for a business. Key word here is THE SPACE. We believed that the decisions made above us are keeping us and the community safe. These decisions should take care of potential disaster situations where a lot is lost and wasted. Mostly hope in the grand sense of the word.
So we bought insurance, raised the coverage in May when waters were rising and were congratulating ourselves on our foresight when Irene came around. When it did, we were of course in shock, first because of the destruction of the beauty we worked tirelessly and full heartedly to create and share with our neighbors and visitors. Then because we had no idea where to start the cleanup but there were so many who did. Then our two months long experience at the Waitsfield UCC. They took us in and made us forget a little, kept us sane, kept us in touch with what we love to do.
We have been waiting to go back to our space for three months now. The owners of our building have been getting the space ready to be rentable again. It's a long time to keep one's spirits up. But now as that work is coming to an end we can start to recreate MINT again. In three to four weeks we could be ready to open. But now it's a disaster all over again. As we contemplate our course of action with the insurance company and FEMA this is our update...
Savitri Bhagavati lives in Waitsfield.

Owen Duffy of Fort Johnson Middle School won Spellbound!, the Lowcountry's regional spelling bee on Wednesday after a competition that seemed at times like it might go on all night.
It took nearly three hours for the field of 50 of the area's top spellers to be narrowed to the top two — Duffy and Elizabeth Ludlam of Divine Redeemer — in the competition at the Lightsey Chapel on the Charleston Southern University campus.
Then things started seesawing, with both competitors at times spelling words incorrectly.
Cupola. Treatise. Luncheonette. Concision.
Word after word for more than 30 minutes, as audience members slumped in their seats, many closing their eyes and some even snoring.
When Ludlam, 14, misspelled "amorphous," Duffy spelled it correctly and went on to win the competition by spelling "hydrangea," bringing the crowd to its feet.
The two spellers had very different tactics, with Duffy, 13, often spelling after hearing the word once or twice, while Ludlam worked through words slowly and deliberately, asking for origins, alternate pronunciations and sentences.
Afterward, Duffy said he reads a lot, but he limited his studying to the car ride on the way to the competition. He is the son of Sheri and Brian Duffy of James Island. His father teaches physical education at his school.
He acknowledged that he was at times lucky.
"I had never even heard some of those words before," he said.
Ludlam, who also was first runner-up last year, said she has been studying daily.
The daughter of Gary and Cheryl Ludlam of Goose Creek, she will be too old to compete next year, but her mother noted that she has three younger siblings.
Duffy will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., with a parent and escort to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee from May 26 to June 1, courtesy of event sponsors The Post and Courier and Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union.
His mother, who works for Delta, said it is likely the entire family, which includes an older brother and sister and young brother, will attend the event.
The spellers were culled from an original field of more than 34,000 students throughout the Lowcountry. They represented Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester 2 and Dorchester 4 school districts, as well as Lowcountry Catholic schools, the South Carolina Independent School Association, and Lowcountry Home and Private Schools.
