Spinach/Ricotta Stuffed Chicken

Spinach/Ricotta Stuffed Chicken - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Mcs699
This chicken roll is mainly a hodge-podge of my leftover chicken breast, bacon, spinach and ricotta cheese but its versatility has high limits. I imagine the recipe will be equally delicious stuffed with sliced tomatoes, coarsely chopped fresh basil and mozzarella or with a mixture of wild rice and sauteed portobello mushrooms. How about crumbled sweet Italian sausage, leftover cornbread dressing and diced apples? Be in the look out for various bits and pieces in your fridge, have fun with these chicken logs and please do share with our readers what filling variation you come up with.
Recipe Source: http://thecookmobile.com/sp...
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups of fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
3 to 4 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch width
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper
vegetable oil
Butterfly chicken breasts. Lay between 2 sheets of wax paper and with a mallet, pound until thin. Season generously with salt and pepper, and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, toss in bacon pieces and cook until browned. Scoop bacon from pan and set aside.
Saute onions in bacon fat until translucent. Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Move mixture to one side of pan and scoop out fat liquid leaving about 1 to 2 tablespoons in the pan. Return browned bacon, add in spinach and combine with the sauteed onions and garlic. Continue to stir until spinach leaves are wilted. Remove from pan.
In a bowl, mix sauteed spinach with the ricotta cheese until just combined. Spoon mixture on the end of the chicken breast closest to you. Roll into a log to fully enclose filling. Secure with toothpick, if necessary.
In another bowl, lightly season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken rolls in flour.
Meanwhile, in a heavy-bottomed pan, heat around 1-inch high of oil. Fry chicken logs, seam side down first, until golden brown. Turn and fry all sides until golden and chicken is fully cooked. Remove from pan and drain excess oil on paper towels. Let rest for a few minutes before cutting

Quote onegirloneboy: Luke and Laura yup?I wonder will she end up dying with all the comotion going on or will she just end up back the way she is now?
I read an interview from the actress and she made them promise not to kill her off if she came back for a short period of time. She said she isn't willing to come back just so they can kill her! I can't wait to see her with Lulu. Lulu is so great I can't wait!!
Maybe they bring her back and recast her part. It would be hard to find someone as good as Genie Francis though.
I absolutely HATE it that Genie francis is only returning for a short period of time..i mean, what's the point???I'm sure the powers that be could come up with a way to keep her on the show and still let her spend a lot of time with her boys..I totally respect that about her, but tony geary gets plenty of time off..why can't they come up with something for her... please everyone, write to abc and gh and let them know that she is greatly missed and that they need to give her whatever she wants to persuade her to stay!!! thanks....and please writers, don't bring her back nuts...i want to see her involved in luke, lucky and lulu's lives...we need to see that.
i think if nothing else when she leaves again she should just "leave town" no relapse, no death. that way its always open for recast and for GF to come back.

Low Tide TreasuresPosted by: | Comments
I had to go back to the beach again last night around 6 o'clock to show Clark all of the amazing shells that were washing up on the beach by Casa Ybel Resort. It looked completely different from around noon when I took the pictures for yesterday's blog. No big shell piles but shells galore spread out like an easter egg hunt.
Janene , Jaelyn (her daughter) and Nora (her niece) found a great spot to just sit and dig around in the watery sand. Can you believe they found all of those goodies in that one spot? Nora even found a BABY'S EAR too. Janene told me that they were were making necklaces, shell boxes and a mirror with all of their found shells on this trip. Janene is a 3rd generation Sanibel sheller which makes Jaelyn a 4th generation Sanibel sheller. Sounds like a happy family to me…and a happy birthday for Janene!
I think we saw at least 12 live HORSE CONCHS in the shallow water but we did get to take one home that didn't have an occupant…..nice, huh?
The Men Win TodayPosted by: | Comments
I found an amazing shelling spot today! When I checked out the beach in front of Casa Ybel Resort, I looked up the beach to the right and saw the beach forming a little peak with a couple of people shelling in the surf. I headed straight for it and found a ton of shells rolling up in the surf. I wasn't on the beach 3 minutes when I looked down and picked up this HORSE CONCH.
I saw Mark from Carlsbad, New Mexico catching some nice NUTMEGS and WHELKS then introduced me to his nephew, Shane. Shane found 3 nice ALPHABET CONES! He just scooped up this 3 1/2 inch ALPHABET beauty in his net along with a FIGHTING CONCH and a MUREX…….this was one scoop that he got all 3 shells.
Mark and his brother Stan (Shane's dad) have been coming to Sanibel since 1974 with their families so they are long time shellers. Sorry, Mark and Stan, but I think Shane kicked your butts out there today finding 3 ALPHABET CONES ……and maybe more. They were still out there when I left.
I also ran into another guy…Ron from Washington D.C. and he found a nice HORSE CONCH too. It was around the size of mine but maybe bigger. I guess I have to hand it over to the guys today…they won the "who got the best shells today" contest.
To top it all off, I got an update on Laura D.'s collection. She found another huge HORSE CONCH and lots more. Here are her treasures……just 2 days worth of shelling on Sanibel. Wow!
Early BirdsPosted by: | Comments
Laura D. just arrived on Sanibel and very excited to find some good shells. This is an email she sent me….
"…..we got up at 5:30 this morning and went out in the dark (with head lamps in the rain) and found tons of urchins, 2 nice figs And this horse conch!!!! I looked inside and was so excited to see an empty perfect shell! Right in the middle of the beach!!!
I put it in my bucket open side up and ten minutes later noticed some redish claws!! It was home to a big crab! I was bummed but we put him back in the water:) It was quite a morning!"
Those sneaky "squatter" crabs!

That's actually another very heated thread...
GC catered to the starving musician who was only looking for the best value (read here best price). A majority of musicians fell into the same mindset thinking that the best price is the best value. GC put a great many of independent music stores out of business is a false premise. Musicians put those independents out of business. I have no empathy for those who cry about GC. Those who are crying are just reaping the consequences of their own buying practices.
I don't think anyone is
about GC, just pointing out some of GC's issues that they (GC) also lament about.
The idea that GC has "the best price" is just silly. Apart from the occasional loss-leaders and discontinued items, and standard 50% off some consumables, their everyday prices are quite average and even high. Perhaps some of that is just a strategy for customers who want to ask for a better price, and then GC throws them a 10% bone. Recently, there was a supposed policy where department managers checked competitors' prices on a daily basis, and would print new tags to show that they matched (or beat) the lowest price a customer might find elsewhere. But I never saw any evidence of that.
And I don't know which other musicians have put independent stores out of business, but but certainly hasn't been me. I make a number of trips to my local GC because of proximity, and visit Sam Ash for the same reason. But I make an equal or greater amount of trips to various other small stores and drum shops, where I make more frequent purchases because they have a better selection and typically, better prices.
BTW, I have an excellent grasp on the difference between price and value, and I never automatically equate them. I always opt for the best value.
And although I have enough endorsements that you'd think I never need to walk into a store at all, I manage to spend a
of money over the counter. So the state of retail and how some stores operate is important to me. It pains me to see the small shops fail, and GC not pick up the slack in the process (which right now is a real financial burden.) Neither is good for the musician.

Over the past three months, "life's been a little crazy" for Clovis native Nichole Willis.
Fulfilling a promise to a friend, the ex-Clovis High and Fresno State softball catcher has turned it into a trip to Japan where she is now a member of Team USA at the biennial Women's Baseball World Cup.
It started in June, when Willis made a promise to best friend Emilie Hall and Hall's 11-year-old daughter, Ashlie Sutton.
Willis had heard of USA Baseball and its women's team two years earlier, admitting she was interested. So with Ashlie's own baseball season starting, the three agreed Willis should give the sport a try, too.
After two rounds of tryouts, Willis was one of 20 selected for the U.S. team.
"I am in Japan with USA across my chest," Willis said from Japan via text message, "all because of the support and promise I made to my best friend and her daughter."
It wasn't an easy conversion from softball to baseball for the 29-year-old, who also is an assistant for the Sacramento State softball team.
As a catcher, going from handling underhand pitches to a pitcher throwing overhand has been the biggest of Willis' challenges. The differences, she said, are "night and day."
"We all think the games are so similar but they are not," Willis said. "I have learned so much in these past two weeks about the game of baseball. It is very complex. I have had to pick things up rather quickly," she said.
Willis spent those two weeks at Team USA's training camp in Malibu in Southern California, where she played in the first eight baseball games of her life.
"I'm just filled with so many mixed emotions, from excitement to nervousness. It has always been a dream of mine to wear USA across my chest. I want to make my country proud and further the good reputation of women's baseball," Willis said.
"It is all so very surreal and it is so short. I feel that if I blink I will miss it."
The U.S. team left Thursday night for Japan. The tournament, sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation, will be played in Miyazaki at the 11,000-seat Ivy Stadium and 30,000-seat Sun Marine Stadium.
The USA is in Pool B with Taiwan, Canada and Netherlands. The Americans were opening against Taiwan in a game that was to begin at 10:30 p.m. PDT Sunday, or 2:30 p.m. today in Japan.
There are four others in Pool A: Australia, Hong Kong, Venezuela and defending champion Japan.
Each nation will play six games over the next seven days. Pool play goes through Wednesday. The second round is Friday and Saturday, with the medal games Sunday.
The U.S. won the Women's World Cup in 2004 and 2006. The Americans also reached the gold-medal game in 2012, but settled for silver after losing to Japan.

Hey everyone, my name is Miranda Minor and I am a sophomore here at MSU, and my major is Exercise and Movement Science. I am still deciding if I want to go pre-professional or not, and I kind of want to minor in math, but we'll see! I am from a very small town in Illinois called Braidwood.
I did not get very involved on campus last year, except for trying out to be a peer leader, but I plan on being very involved this year with joining more clubs/organizations and playing in a lot of intramural sports! Since I was out of state last year, I really wanted to focus on school the first year to see if I really liked MSU, and I loved it!
I am so excited and ready to experience being a first year peer leader. I wanted to become a peer leader because I learned so much from my peer leader and in my GEP 101 class. I cannot wait to get advice and help first year students through their first year of college. I look forward to helping students learn more about MSU, and I hope everyone has a great first year experience!

(AP) GREAT FALLS, Mont. - GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A large collection of paintings, photos and sketches that includes images of survivors of the Battle of the Little Bighorn is for sale.
The Wrangler Gallery in Great Falls, Mont., is seeking a buyer for the 122-piece David Humphreys Miller collection. Gallery owner Brad Hamlett tells the Great Falls Tribune (http://gftrib.com/1ihqmq0 ) the collection recently was appraised at about $3.8 million.
Hamlett says the collection belongs in a museum, but officials with the Montana Museum of Art and Culture at the University of Montana and with the Montana Historical Society say they don't have the money to acquire it.
The collection includes more than 50 sketches of survivors from the Battle of the Little Big Horn and photos from various Western movies that Miller worked on.
Great Falls is celebrating its annual Western Art Week.

CRESTVIEW — A rugged Milton Panther football team comes calling to Crestview High School's Jack Foster Stadium on Friday as the Bulldogs open the 2014 season.
Crestview Coach Tim Hatten said it will be all systems go and all hands on deck for the Bulldogs.
"This is for real," he said. "There's nothing 'practice' about this. There is nothing half-speed about it.
"... We are playing for keeps now and it becomes the game of football as we all know and love."
Milton reminds Hatten of the Pace team that beat the Bulldogs 27-7 in last week's Kickoff Classic.
"They are going to bring it downhill (the football in the running game) about like Pace," Hatten said. "We are going to have to be on top of our Ps and Qs. Hopefully, we can do some things that we did not do Friday night.
"We have got to be able to stop folks from coming downhill at us. It's good that we played Pace and found out we have some problems we need to address. When you start talking about stopping the downhill run, they are good at it and I think Milton is going to be good at it, too."
The Bulldog varsity offense only ran 16 plays against the Patriots as Pace controlled the ball and the clock with the running game.
On the bright side, Hatten thinks he's found his running backs.
Marcus Mobley, a junior transfer from Pensacola High School, had a touchdown run of more than 60 yards against Pace for Crestview's only varsity score. Senior D.J. Stewart also solidified his spot in the backfield.
"I think D.J. Stewart and Marcus Mobley give us a really good one-two punch in there," Hatten said. "And Malique Studevan will come in there and get some carries in spots.
"We will be OK. I feel a little better about running back."
Quarterbacks Corey Armstrong and Rusty Moorer looked OK against the Patriots, Hatten said.
"We've got some room for improvement with both of them," he said. "I think Corey played a decent game. That was Rusty's first varsity game so I think it could have been first-game jitters for him.
"I don't think they played bad. I don't think they played great. We are satisfied with where we are and we just need to get better."
Hatten knows Crestview's success Friday will depend on how well the much heralded Bulldog defense rebounds from a disappointing showing against Pace.
"We have to stop the downhill run," he said. "If you do that you have a chance and if you don't you have no chance."
WHAT: High school football, Milton at Crestview
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Jack Foster Stadium, Crestview High School

This is a very good question and I'll give you my opinion on it, once again its mine, take it or leave it.
The hardscape supplier market is oversaturated, especially in the northeast. Giving a client 3-4 100 page catalogs will confuse the daylights out of them. I would suggest 1 or 2 at the most.
We used to be brand loyal, putting alot of eggs in one basket with EPHenry. I'm not going to go into details on how the relationship fractured but if you ever wanted to watch the downfall of a powerhouse pull up a front seat to this story. The dissolvement of the conserv division, lack of innovation, removal of key players from the authorized contractor program, removal of key dealers, etc. has all happened. I had lunch a month ago with a few friends of mine who are large contractors, together 4 years ago we represented about $400k in combined annual sales to EPH. That's a dealership. Today none of us buy from them. At first I thought it was just us witnessing all of this until I stepped into a Techo-Bloc round table the other month. (I rarely go to these but did this year). There was a comment said amongst 20 contractors and an applause to the tune of , "don't do what EPH did, leave us and fail to innovate." That's huge, the problem is monumental. The were the Goliath 6-8 years ago and now they are off major percentages in sales in their prime markets. This failure has spread like cancer accross the hardscape market. All that will carry them is their brand name and that will fail at some point too. See what the smart producers realize is their consumer isn't the homeowner (yes they are interested) its the contractor. No homeowner is going to install a 1500 sf patio, sorry. Fail to support and listen to the contractor and you're removing a major customer. Most of our clients will follow our lead in whatever product we suggest because they trust us, and rightfully so they should.
With this said you need to select a brand that is a quality product, gives great customer support, and truly innovates. Also you need to select a dealership that is close to you. Techo may not be there, it may be Belgard, not sure.
We aren't totally brand loyal anymore, we learned our lesson with that. We won't do it again. My suggestion is to pick one that you feel very comfortable with, and have a few others you use on occassion.
Hope this all helps.

Associated Press
ARGELES-GAZOST, France (AP) A brief look at the 18th stage of the Tour de France on Thursday:
The stage: 90 miles from Pau to the summit finish at Hautacam, rated beyond category in the Tour jargon to describe the most difficult climbs. Along the way was the famed Tourmalet climb, a 2,115-meter monster also beyond a rating.
Winner: Vincenzo Nibali. The Italian known as The Shark won his fourth stage in dominant style, dropping French climbing specialist Thibaut Pinot and leaving him to finish 1 minute, 10 seconds back in second place. Polka dot jersey holder Rafal Majka was third, 1:12 back.
Yellow jersey: Nibali. He extended his lead in the overall standings and is all but assured of victory in Paris and becoming only the sixth man to ever win all three of cyclings Grand Tours.
Quote of the day: Hes probably considered the surprise of the race but Ive known his potential for quite a while now and its unfolding for everyone to see. Tinkoff-Saxo team boss Bjarne Riis, speaking of Majka.
Stat of the day: 15. The number of seconds that separate second-placed Pinot from third-place Jean-Christophe Peraud and fourth-place Alejandro Valverde, with just three stages left.
Todays stage: The 19th stage is a 130-mile flat stage from Maubourguet north to Bergerac in the scenic Dorgogne region. One small hill 13 kilometers from the finish will likely not be enough to prevent a mass sprint finish, where Germans Marcel Kittel and Andre Griepel and Norways Alexander Kristoff will try to add to their haul of stage wins.

The Magazine
Andrew Breitbart, 1969-2012
From The Scrapbook
Mar 12, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 25 • By THE SCRAPBOOK
So one could easily have envisioned this being the latest Breit-bart media stunt: Fake your own demise, go missing for 24 hours, thus encouraging all your ideological adversaries to bleat and fume and make asses of themselves just to prove what kind of sonsofbitches you were up against. Let the record show that tasteful blogger Matt Yglesias came through like clockwork, nearly getting ahead of the Los Angeles coroner's announcement by crowing: "Conventions around dead people are ridiculous. The world outlook is slightly improved with Andrew Breitbart dead." (Well done, Matt! Perhaps you could pass your thoughtful sentiments on to his fatherless children, since they likely don't follow you on Twitter. Prick.)
But sadly, it was not Andrew's last, greatest caper. Breitbart himself, of course, would've not only expected such aggression, but laughed at it, and even egged it on. One of his favorite pastimes was retweeting his own hate mail, which was voluminous. As a partisan warrior and a guerrilla-theater aficionado—half right wing Yippie, half Andy Kaufman—he made it his vocation to drive people crazy. Whatever detractors say, or more likely, whatever they spray, Breit-bart clearly excelled at his job.
His intensity could be alternately amusing and taxing. When he'd call you in the white-hot fever of one of the headline-garnering skirmishes that he'd inserted himself into—ACORN, Shirley Sherrod, Anthony Weiner's schwantz pictorials—you knew that you could set the phone down, run some errands, and do some light yard work, then return without his ever realizing that you'd been gone. One of the many benefits of being friends with Andrew was that when he was on fire, which was often, there was no need to carry your share of the conversational load.
But at heart, he was in it for more than scoring points for "The Movement," as he unironically called it. As anyone who has seen his recent CPAC speech knows, Breit-bart had the brains, the talent, and the animal charisma to get people to set cars on fire for him, or to run off with him to the desert, where he might start his own anti-Obama doomsday cult. But while he believed in what he espoused, perhaps a little too much, he was also in it for other reasons—for action and for amusement. He didn't just hit scandal head-on. He enjoyed coming at it slyly. He gloried in the art of presentation. A few years back, when Andrew, his wife, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, and I were having drinks at a Washington, D.C., hotel, Breit-bart showed me his Twitter mug shot.
Since he knew that I despise Twitter on principle, I thought he was deliberately sticking me in the eye. But he wasn't. "Seriously," he said. "Take a look. Do you notice anything different about me?" In the photo, he had newly grown facial hair. He was looking off into the middle distance in a way that did not quite resemble himself.
"I don't know," I said. "Did you lose weight? Get a haircut?"
"NO!!!!" he exclaimed, with some disappointment. "It's exactly like Eric Boehlert's Twitter picture! I'm mirroring him!" he said of his bête noire from the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters, which regularly tormented Breit-bart, and which in turn, he tormented.
There's not a chance I could pick Eric Boehlert out of a police lineup. But there's no way Breit-bart would've known that. He was a man who both loved and hated with his whole heart, often getting wrapped around the axle of his own narrative. When I looked at his long-suffering wife, asking her what she made of this, she affectionately shrugged her shoulders. The universal loving-wife symbol for "What can you do?"
The last time I saw Andrew was just a few weeks ago in what turned out to be one of his last capers: dinner at a swank Chicago penthouse with former Weather Underground terrorists/Obama confidants Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Andrew and I often disconnected on politics. Even though we were both conservatives, his mode was a little ferocious for my taste. We knew this, however. And so, it was never an issue. What was important was that he had the quality that all the people I like most have: He made me laugh. Whatever his faults, he was wicked and loyal and funny.
Our friend, Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson, had won the Ayers dinner at a fundraising auction for the Illinois Humanities Council, and had brought us along. Tucker and I were a little worried that we had a human grenade in Breitbart, though if we were being honest with ourselves, that's precisely why we brought him. With Andrew, every day was an anything-can-happen day.

Gear Review
Garret Tanner
Good general tire, horrible extreme tire.
I've done a few hundred miles on this tire so far and am generally pretty happy. The tire can be rotated one way for 'speed' and one way for 'traction'. I hardly ride anything super hard to climb (traction wise) so I put the rear on speed and the front on traction for bombing down single track. I've gotten some good rain rides and the tires worked pretty well until things got really slushy. The rear locks up on descents like mad but I'm a front brake guy so I don't really mind. I have lost both tires going through a muddy transition but once they hooked up I was on the correct trajectory and didn't feel like I was going to crash at any point. The rear was having a lot of trouble in some really thick mud and I simply was not able to make the climb. It took a 45 mph downhill on the road to get the tires really clean again. They're also pretty slick on wet pavement so be careful if you have to road-ride to the mountain.
Overall? I really can't complain for the price. If you're into really nasty mud climbs I'd steer clear, but I've been happy more than not.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Utility crews have been working the last 36 hours to get power restored to customers. At the peak of the outage, KCP&L had 106,000 customers without power and BPU in KCK had another 20-thousand in the dark. As of Wednesday afternoon, KCP&L and BPU say they have about 90 percent of people who lost power back up and running again. And they say for those who are still waiting for light you'll probably be restored by some time late this evening. Still it has been hard on those who have been in the dark since the storm hit.
"I can't see to cook or anything," says KCK resident Pamela Ramsey, "I couldn't even have coffee this morning."
Ramsey has been struggling without coffee and in her dark house since 7:30 Tuesday morning. She doesn't have a car so she's stuck here at home and hoping the power will be back on soon, since she's struggling to stay warm now.
"I'm freezing," she said, "me and my three dogs snuggled up in the chair with a big old heavy blanket."
Over on the Missouri side, Maryanne Lillig says she's very concerned about her parents who are in their 80s.
"They're very independent," said Lillig, "they want to be here and do it on their own and we try to provide that but at some level you step in and think is that best and are they safe?"
Her parents have a generator so the house has heat, but as a doctor who specializes in the elderly, Maryanne is concerned about any older folks who go without power for too long.
"If they're on oxygen or medications people here are at risk," Lillig said.
Her mother Frances says she's glad the generator helps warm up the place but worries every time her 82 year old husband drives in this weather to get more gas. She hopes the power company will really look at this outage and see what they can do to improve their service and prevent these kind of lengthy outages.
"We must have a bad transformer behind our house, that's all we can figure out," she said, "we don't know why it happens but it happens a lot."

2011 Mercedes E63 AMG Wagon by GWA-Tuning
Tuning package includes a full body kit and new wheels
Texan engineer/tuner Arturo Alonso has a made-in-Germany body kit for the 2011 Mercedes E63 AMG estate/wagon.
Alonso's new company GWA-Tuning developed the kit at its facility in Germany. The kit includes a front bumper with carbon vents and spoiler with LED running lights, a new grill and new brake cooling vents. At the sides are skirts with cooling ducts for the rear brakes and carbon fiber pillar trim. At the rear is a carbon fiber diffuser fitted with an LED fog lamp and a roof spoiler.
The tuning package also offers a set of 5-spoke GWA wheels as optional - 19x8.5 at the front and 20x10 at the rear. Valvetronic exhaust pipes that can be made louder at the touch of a button are also an option. There is a lowering module available too.
For the inside there are GWA aluminum pedals and foot rest and an illuminated logo for the door sills.
Prices will be around €15,000 ($18,517) for the basic body kit while a fully-optioned package will run around €22,000 ($27,158).
The station wagon body style is entering an era of rebirth. In fact, station wagons are getting more popular every day. Applying their expertise of turning the ordinary into extraordinary, GWA-TUNING is releasing their new body kit for the 2011 Mercedes E63 estate (S212). The kit consists of a front bumper spoiler with LED daytime running lights, extra brake cooling ducts, a special grille (similar to the one used on the CLK model), side skirts with rear brake cooling vents, a carbon fiber rear diffuser with integrated LED fog light, a roof spoiler, front fenders with carbon fiber vents, mirror covers and pillar trim, also in carbon fiber.
In addition to the basic kit, there is also the option to stagger the wheels with 19X8.5 in front and 20X10 in the rear, add 5 spoke GWA wheels painted to the color of your choice, a special lowering module, and rear Valvetronic mufflers that open loud at the touch of a switch. The interior remains untouched, except for the special GWA brushed aluminum pedals with foot rest and illuminated logo door sills.
The body kit is estimated at 15,000 Euro, and the fully optioned model as seen in the images runs close to 22,000 Euro. For more information and ordering, contact them at info[at]gwa-tuning.com

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully August 28, 2006 at 5:03AM
The time has come. Next Monday night, September 4th, at 7pm, COCAINE ANGEL will have its New York City premiere at Barbes in good ol' Park Slope. It's about goddamn time. Joe Pacheco was kind enough to select CA to kick off the fall edition of his lauded Brooklyn Independent Cinema Series, and we are quite excited. I realize that this is Labor Day and that there will be plenty of other things to do, but if you live in NYC and haven't seen the movie yet, you should check it out. Damian and I will be there for a post-screening Q&A, and since we're both so broke that we can't really afford to eat, perhaps you can buy us a drink and make us feel like all of this hasn't been a complete waste of time. Go here for details:
I just got back from BAM, where I experienced the nearly four-hour beast that is Jean Eustache's THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE. The theatre was packed and into it the entire time. To be completely honest, Philippe Garrel's REGULAR LOVERS resonated more deeply with me, but Leaud is phenomenal and the film doesn't feel as long as it is, which is probably the best compliment I can give it. Good buddy Paul Lovelace informed me afterwards that I sat next to Richard Hell, which was news to me. Whoops.
Congratulations to another good buddy named Paul--Mr. Paul Schneider--for landing his next role alongside Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, and Patti Clarkson in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL. Hmm, that title rings a bell. Seriously, maybe they should change that. It's kind of ridiculous. If you haven't already, go here to see Paul's latest photo project called "I Love Terror." It's funny and creepy at the same time:

The University of Alaska Fairbanks will hire eight new scientists thanks to a $20-million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation.
The award, announced Tuesday, will fund a five-year, interdisciplinary project focusing on how Alaska communities adapt to environmental and social change. It's being dubbed the Alaska Adapting to Changing Environments, or ACE program.
A total of 47 researchers will focus on three regions of the state. In Southcentral, scientists will examine the effects of land cover and precipitation changes on fisheries and tourism in the Kenai River watershed. Researchers in Northern Alaska will look at how subsistence is affected by thawing permafrost. Here in Southeast, the focus will be on glacial recession near Juneau.
UAF Vice Chancellor of Research Mark Myers and UAA biology professor Lilian Alessa will serve as co-directors.

Queer youth have higher rates of homelessness, suicide, abuse and depression than heterosexual youth. Bend- It, a queer artist activist collective, helps queer and questioning youth express their identities positively through art and contact with LGBTQA artists.
Bend-It received funding to develop a series of arts workshops for queer teens, culminating in a showcase of the participants' work at the three-day Bend-It Festival at Cal Anderson and Volunteer parks on Capitol Hill in June 2009. The annual arts festival coincides with the Seattle Pride Parade.
In the weeks leading up to the festival, nine teaching artists led 43 teens in 16 workshop sessions covering zine creation, photography, fashion, spoken word, silkscreening and dance.
"Before coming to the workshop and discovering Bend-It, I had a two-dimensional idea of what gay was. I saw it as guys who like guys, and then girls who like girls," said a young workshop participant. "Likewise my idea of gender was limited; I only saw two boxes, male and female. The workshops introduced me to individuals who helped me expand my understanding of queer."

Accomplishments/Division News
The Library will be closed Saturday August 5 (and Sunday August 6) for major electrical work, planned by Judicial in conjunction with CL&P.
The History and Genealogy Reading Room is experienced recurring circuit breaks. The wiring system in History & Genealogy was unsuited for late 20th century needs, let alone the electrical needs of the early 21st century. We know that too many microfilm readers, photocopiers, vendacard towers and dispensers, high speed printers, and public access computers are connected to the limited number of circuits. Providing additional electrical capacity to this area is a priority.
Redacted copies of the Committee of Inquiry (Governor Rowland impeachment) documents were received on an external hard drive from the Legislature. The collection has been cataloged, and will be made available to researchers upon request. Archives staff will be processing the complete original set of files.
Patron response to the Hartford Historical Courant, 1764-1922 online has been extremely positive and the Library has purchased a license for the issues from 1923-1984. These will be made available to patrons as they are scanned and released by the vendor, ProQuest. Issues through 1983 should be available by the end of 2006.
We have licensed a new electronic resource, NetLibrary's Consumer Education Law subject set of 22 titles. With the subscription we also have access to 3,400 Project Gutenberg and other public domain full text electronic book titles.
The State Library is now the official public repository for DVDs filmed by the Connecticut Television Network, a not-for-profit broadcasting company that covers matters of public policy in Connecticut. Each DVD is cataloged and made available through the Library's online catalog, CONSULS. Topics represented in the CT-N collection include legislative proceedings and hearings, Supreme Court oral arguments, academic conferences, award ceremonies, administrative agency hearings, and the popular Capitol News Briefings featuring the Governor and other public officials.
Beginning Monday July 17 and continuing until Friday Sept. 29 as a trial period, a third daily retrieval at 12 noon has been added. This retrieval is for ONSITE Archives and Secured Collections materials only (including aerial photographs).
New information on the Website includes:
H&G Office Assistant Kevin Johnson gave 3 Jordan Freeman presentations and 3 William Webb presentations in May and June.
LBPH hosted the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped's Advisory Committee meeting.
As part of the Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism's one-day statewide event to pay tribute to Connecticut's unique world of history, art, film and tourism, we held an Open House on June 10. More than 100 visitors, including many who had never been to CSL took tours of History and Genealogy and Government Information, viewed a "William Webb" presentation, and a "Hats-On History Tour". Special balcony activities included a Department of Transportation program that simulates driving a car down State highways, a census exhibit, and how to find your house using ArcView software.
Government Information Unit Head Julie Schwartz gave a talk at the Canadian Library Association meeting in Ottawa for the Access to Government Information Interest group, which is equivalent to our GODORT (Government Documents Round Table).
The National Library Services for the Blind and Physically Handicapped Consultant David Whittal visited the LBPH facility from June 5-7 to review program operations against the American Library Association guidelines.
LBPH Unit Head Carol Taylor taped two 15 minute programs for Dr. Marcus Brown, host of "Jumpstart" at the WJMJ Studio in Bloomfield on June 27.
Federal Documents Library Nancy Peluso continues to give presentations on Federal Web sites at the Service Centers. Mrs. Peluso with Mrs. Schwartz is giving targeted presentations to groups of staff from other state agencies on the resources and services that CSL can provide to assist in their work.
The Division continues to experience severe collection space issues, as both the stack space at 231 and the Division's offsite storage at Van Block reach full capacity use. We are exploring all possible shifts to garner even the smallest amount of open shelf space. For example, to gain a few vertical bays of free shelving, we are removing three cabinets of microfilm on Stack Level 1B and some microfilms in the History and Genealogy Reading room into the Newspaper Microfilm Room. Items involved are include census microfilm, the Commercial Record, The Nation, Major Studies and Issues Briefs, US vs. ATT, Antiques and the Arts Weekly, and Scientific American. For patrons, this will be helpful because there are microfilm readers in the Newspaper room. We will also be exploring other methods of offsite storage.
iCONN has a new logo! They will be migrating all their print materials to this new look. The iCONN web presence at www.iconn.org will soon contain the new logo and reflect its new color scheme.
In addition to color changes, the tag line "Connecticut's research engine," replaces the old tag line of "Connecticut Digital Library." The logo was created by Miranda Creative in consultation with iCONN staff. The new logo was used in the design of an ad placed in a special "back to school" supplement of the Hartford Courant. Copies of the advertisement are included with your packet.
New Databases
iCONN added two new databases on July 1st. These additions were made possible with the savings realized through the bid just completed for the Tier One databases.
History Reference Center
For history buffs, class projects and assignments; this resource provides articles from magazines, journals, reference and non-fiction books; biographies, documents, speeches, maps and photographs. It also includes film and video clips of social, political and cultural historical events of the 20th Century from 1893 to 1985.
Science Reference Center
For science projects and research needs; this resource provides articles from scientific reference books, magazines, journals, biographies and images. Topics covered include biology, chemistry, earth & space science, environmental science, health & medicine, physics, technology and wildlife.
iCONN Remembers
Another major enhancement to iCONN was made in July with an upgrade to the barcode login screen for users accessing iCONN from home. On the login screen is a checkbox with the note "Remember my card number on this computer". If a user checks the box and enters their library card number, a cookie is placed on the computer. The next time the user goes to iCONN on that computer, they will be able to simply click a "Begin" button. No more typing 14 digit barcode numbers!
Continuing Education
Training for Connecticut library staff is a major focus for the Division of Library Development. In the last fiscal year the Division offered over 167 continuing education and technical training opportunities to 2,095 Connecticut library staff. Another 356 took advantage of the free online courses offered through WebJunction Connecticut.
The E-Learning Clearinghouse, a web-based, searchable database of online continuing education courses and academic programs for library staff, is now available on WebJunction. This will be the first stop for library staff interested in developing new skills, taking continuing education courses, mastering technology or obtaining your library degree. It provides the most comprehensive consolidated source of information available about online courses and programs from all types of providers. Course and program offerings cover a wide range of topics from Staff Development Made Easy to Developing a Disaster Plan. The Clearinghouse was developed by WebJunction with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Two sessions of Effective Reference Performance training were held at the Middletown Library Service Center in June. The objective of this training is to enable reference staff to conduct effective reference interviews using model reference behaviors and to coach co-workers for skill acquisition and transfer. This training has been shown to improve reference success from 55% to 77%. Kris Abery, Continuing Education Coordinator and Mary Engels, Director of the Middletown Library Service Center, coordinated this training.
At the end of June the State Library's contract with BeavEx to provide Connecticar service to Routes 1 and 2 expired. As a result of an RFP, a new contract was issued to Service Warehousing & Logistics of Hartford and Stamford. They began providing service to routes 1 & 2 on July 3rd. The new contract resulted in a slight increase in the price of delivery. However, the volume of items delivered on Ccar has increased dramatically over the last few years. A recent survey indicated that approximately 3.5 million items are delivered each year.
Connecticut's Newest Library
On June 9th, the Janet Calvert Carlson Library was officially opened in Franklin, Connecticut. It was the first new public library to open in the state in almost 40 years. They received a small construction grant from the State Library. They have been officially added into the Connecticar and Connecticard system and have already made extensive use of the Willimantic Library Service Center's collection and consulting assistance. Mary Louise Jensen, Building Consultant, Sharon Brettschneider and Kendall Wiggin attended the official opening.
Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)
The Division has begun a process to evaluate the LSTA program in Connecticut over the last 5 years. Required by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the federal agency overseeing program, it must be completed by March 2007.
Service Centers
In Fiscal Year 2006, the Middletown and Willimantic Library Service Centers loaned 78,055 items to school and public libraries providing a value to local communities of approximately $2.7 million.
Grants to Municipalities
On July 10, 2006 the Office of the Public Records Administrator and State Archives awarded 91 targeted grants for a total of $757,000 and 9 competitive grants for a total of $337,670 for a combined total of $1,094,670 for Cycle 1. This is the first year that the Historic Documents Preservation grant program has awarded competitive grants. The awards for the competitive grants ranged from $12,350 to $50,000. The larger competitive grants will allow towns to advance the management of both active and historical records to a higher level than possible under the targeted or non-competitive grants.
Conferences and Workshops
The grant program staff held a workshop for Connecticut Town Clerks on June 8, 2006 at the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center in Old Wethersfield. The workshop was entitled "From Theory to Reality: Strategies and Tips for Putting preservation Principles into Action" and was the eighth workshop in a series of Historic Document workshops provided for Town Clerks. Sixty-one Town Clerks or Assistant Town Clerks attended the workshop as well as twenty people from other town offices and Connecticut State Library members, for a total attendance of 81. State Public Records and Archives staff who attended the workshop are Eunice DiBella, LeAnn Johnson, Kathryn Makover, Lizette Pelletier, Mark Jones, Bruce Stark and Paul Baran. Jane Cullinane, State Library Preservation Librarian, was one of the program speakers.
Meetings and Outreach
On May 27, Eunice DiBella, Mark Jones and Julie Schwartz met with Albert Meijer. Mr. Meijer is a professor of Public Administration at the Utrecht School of Governance in the Netherlands. He was studying the Impact of Digitization in Government on Political Accountability in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York State. His research was conducted at the National Center for Digital Government located at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and was funded from a Grant for the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research.
June 6, 2006 Eunice DiBella proctored the town Clerk's Certification exam in Newington, Ct.
On June 22, Kathy Makover made a site visit to the Town Clerk's office in East Windsor. Her visit included an inspection of the town clerk's vault, a review of the projects that have been funded by the Historic Documents Preservation Grant Program, and discussion and recommendations to the Town Clerk regarding future preservation and records management projects.
June 13, Eunice DiBella attended a Blog workshop at the Connecticut State Library Service Center in Middletown.
State Archives
Editing the Public Records
of the State of Connecticut
In mid-June, Chief Editor Douglas Arnold came to the State Library for a research trip. Since 2002, Mr. Arnold has been working on volumes 18 and 19 of the series. Next summer the State Library shall receive the camera-ready copy from Mr. Arnold and will print, distribute and sell the volumes. Vol. 19 will contain the proceedings of the 1818 State Constitutional Convention, the ratification debate in the General Assembly that has not been covered by historians, and the newspaper debate over ratification. During his June visit, Mr. Arnold and State Archivist Mark Jones, who is coordinating the project, met with State Librarian Kendall Wiggin to report on the project's progress and remaining work to be done and the future of the editing project. The Historic Documents Preservation Program funds the project.

In his post game interview with Donnie Webb, he uttered this phrase 6 times! Six fucking times - go ahead and count them, they're all there. Well guess what Greg, you are PAID to know. At my job if almost every time we had a project something went horribly wrong, you better believe that "I don't know" would NOT be an acceptable answer for my boss. You know what you do with people who "don't know? You replace them with someone who does know.
As Champ points out - this game was a big step back. Since good old Greggo obviously doesn't know what to do next, I'll be glad to tell him. Here's what he should do for the rest of the season:
- Play Doug Hogue at running back. Two games ago you burned his redshirt year, playing him against Illinois and he hasn't seen the field since. Curtis Brinkley is playing on 2 bad knees, refuses to pick up the blitz and Jeremy Sellers is easily the worst running back in Division I football. Paul Chiara isn't any good, but he's better than Sellers - hell right now Kevin Everett would be better than Sellers.
- Play the redshirt freshman on the offensive line - they can't be any worse that what is in there now.
- Start Mike Mele at middle linebacker and get Parker Cantey on the field as well. The 3 starting linebackers are the worst in college football. While we are here, start Derrell Smith at the other LB spot.
- In practice do some drills forcing your defenders to look at the MID SECTION of the offensive player. Even with all the fakes in the world, a person's mid section isn't going anywhere, and since this team falls for every fake and juke an opponent puts on them, this could be helpful.
- Then again, they practice against Jeremy Sellers, which means they never see a juke until game time, so disregard that last point.
- Play Max Suter on defense - he's been one of the few bright spots all year and AJ Brown couldn't beat Rosie O'Donnell in a foot race.
- Put your house on the market and move as far away from New York as possible, you've successfully ruined the last 3 football seasons for me and I can't take it anymore.
There you have it Greg, now you know. Please get out of my life.

Lawrence Taylor is widely considered one of the most ferocious and talented players to ever step on a football field.

But as it turns out tackling opposing quarterback wasn't his only prodigious talent. He knew how to take down a few beers in his day too.

During a visit to the 2010 NFL Draft, Taylor was asked about his own draft day memories, and his response was flawless.

Enjoy this year's draft! But be careful not to enjoy it too much!

It was only a matter of time before someone harnessed the power of social media to help homeless animals! TwitterACritter is a new social media campaign that uses Twitter to spread the word about adoptable pets in shelters. All you have to do is visit the website, www.TwitterACritter.com, and select one of the 130,000 homeless dogs, cats, and other pets listed on Adopt‐a‐Pet.com and tweet a link to that petʹs information.
ʺTwitterACritter is a fun, easy way for people to actively save the life of a shelter pet, even if they canʹt adopt one themselves or afford to donate,ʺ says Abbie Moore, executive director of Adopt‐a‐Pet.com. ʺHomeless pets are powerless to promote themselves to potential adopters, so itʹs up to those of us who love animals to lend a hand, and a set of thumbs, and tweet about them. In these difficult economic times, when so many pets are being relinquished to shelters, they need our help more than ever.ʺ
TwitterACritter has gotten a boost from Kevin Nealon, Alyssa Milano, Denise Richards, Kristin Chenoweth, and several other celebrities who have encouraged their Twitter followers to join the cause. According to Moore, ʺIn each case, immediately after the celebrityʹs tweet, hundreds of their followers tweeted homeless pets as well… and their followers tweet, and so on and so on. The celebrities create an avalanche of compassion".
ʺThe bottom line is that if enough people see a shelter pet, that pet gets adopted. There is no better way to expose shelter pets to as many potential adopters as possible than through Twitter,ʺ continues Moore. ʺItʹs no exaggeration to say that a single tweet can save a life. Imagine the impact it would have if everyone tweeted just one critter a day!ʺ

SHARON K - note that "being offended" is a personal choice - what offends you may delight someone else - so are the words funny or offensive? or is it how you CHOSE to respond to them - they're just words.
ELIZABETH M - excellent point and concern!! Hopefully someone involved in this Twitter site will check it out cause it sure sounds fishy and very much like puppy mill behind the scenes. Their hearts were in the right place, I just don't agree this is the right avenue to take to place pets without knowing where they are going - bait for dogs fights? research? anyone can order? I would need to know more and would research if I was interested.
I would love to get emphatically behind this idea as one whose time has come. Unfortunately, I have reservations. I see a HUGE potential for abuse here.
I spent some time on TwitterACritter & I found that the dogs I was searching for (primarily small breeds) brought up many results (most seemed legitimate) but some of them (like a group called Friends of Homeless Animals, Inc. in RI) were requiring 'donations' of up to $750 with a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $200, just to process the application. This 'donation' supposedly includes transportation to the northeast. My question would be this-where are these dogs coming from? What I fear is this - if these organizations are not being CAREFULLY screened, this will become just another outlet for the puppy mills http://marchbooks.ning.com/video/the-tragedy-of-puppy-mills
I have adopted numerous animals from shelters & NEVER have I been asked to donate more than $100 to cover the cost of neutering and shots. I truly hope that this site (endorsed by celebrities as it is) does not become another way for disreputable breeders to sell the animals they are raising in their puppy mills. I can see no other reason for requesting this kind of money and shipping dogs from long distances. Oddly enough, these 'rescue organizations' make no mention of screening the potential owner for suitability. It is pretty clear that these people are just disguising their true intent and actually have no genuine concern for the welfare of these a
Didn't doesn't look as though it works for finding dogs in Australia. If I'm wrong and it does, can someone enlighten me as to how to go about it.
I don't understand how this works.
Jennifer E, that is just awesome that you fostered a dog! And through Twitter no less. Just awesome!
It would seem that animals always get the dirty end of the stick, thanks to humans who take no interest or responsibility for them. Compassion to them is just a word in the dictionary.
Sharon, if all you got out of this was the language issue, you've missed the boat entirely.
While on Twitter there was a request for emergency foster homes for dogs facing euthanasia. Because of this Tweet I fostered a dog who would have been killed due to the Humane Society not bothering to try and adopt him out! He was scheduled to be euthanized on a Friday; the same day we took him in.
The language is offensive. I am tired of profanity assaulting my ears, the radio, celebrity interviews, movies, etc. And to print a profanity that offends Christians is inexcusable.
leave them be,theyre ANIMALS for christ sake,no hurt
