The apposite Chinese saying with respect to the unrest in Tibet is bimen dagou: "close the door and beat the dog." And with news coverage halted over a vast area of Western China, and endless columns of military vehicles heading in, who can doubt that the dog will be well and thoroughly beaten?
Certainly no one in the official west. The officially-expressed lack of condemnation of the latest installment in China's decades-long destruction of Tibet is proof that the smart money figures the fix is in. Beijing will crush things without any outsiders having a chance to watch; no one will dare ask tough questions or criticize; things will then get back to "normal," where China stories are all about trade and the Olympics.
But suppose that quick resolution doesn't occur? Suppose the dog proves tougher than expected? Suppose stomach-turning video of the beating somehow reaches the outside world? Suppose the problem goes unfixed for days or weeks more, or spreads? Suppose the Chinese leadership itself begins to disagree about what to do? What then? A real crisis may arise, a crisis for which no one is prepared.
That possibility was confirmed on Thursday 20 March, as word came from official Chinese news services that Tibet was not yet under control and that unrest was spreading. Canadian journalists managed to get striking footage of new demonstration through the formidable Chinese news firewall.
Spring has a strange resonance in Chinese history: many trains of events culminating in major shifts have begun in this season. In 1989, it was the death, on April 15, of the former prime minister Hu Yaobang and public dissatisfaction at the Party's failure to honor him that started the movement victimized in the Tiananmen bloodbath less than three months later. (The date gave the movement its name). June 4 1989 took its place with May 4 1919 (the nationalist demonstrations against the Treaty of Versailles) and May 30 1925 (major pro-labor, anti-Empire protest) among the milestones of regime-shaking popular unrest in China.
Something similar could happen this year. Unless the Chinese government succeeds in crushing the Tibetans cleanly and without publicity, we are likely to see a multiplication of grievances being aired–by ordinary Chinese as well as by subject peoples like the Tibetans and the Muslims of East Turkestan. Workers are already out on strike in Guangdong in the southeast. Plenty of anger is out there: over corruption, injustice, poverty, pollution, dictatorship–more than enough for a conflagration.
Washington is not even considering such a possibility. Instead Secretary Rice is urging the Chinese to "show restraint", which I take to mean restraint in the numbers killed and brutality employed as order is restored. But suppose order is not restored, and things get worse? Now is not too early to start thinking about whom we support then–and what values we should, as a democracy, espouse.

Follow Bertha
Seattle Tunnel Partners working to repair Bertha
In summer 2013, Bertha, the world's largest tunneling machine, began digging the SR 99 tunnel beneath downtown Seattle. In December 2013, Seattle Tunnel Partners, the contracting team hired to design and build the tunnel, stopped excavation approximately 1,000 feet into the dig after measuring increased temperatures in the tunneling machine. While investigating the cause of the high temperatures, STP discovered damage to the machine's seal system and contamination within the main bearing.
Bertha lifted to the surface for repairs
On March 30, 2015, Seattle Tunnel Partners safely placed the front end of the SR 99 tunneling machine on the repair platform located just south of the access pit. The piece - along with three others - was lifted from the 120-foot-deep pit crews built to access and repair the machine. With the necessary pieces now at the surface, STP is making repairs and enhancements. Below are links that illustrate STP's plan to resume tunneling. The latest schedule is available here.
- Time-lapse video of Bertha parking in the pit (links to YouTube)
- Video of Bertha's breakthrough (links to YouTube)
- Video of crews chipping a Bertha-sized circle on the face of the pit's southern wall (view on YouTube).
- Narrated video explaining STP's repair plan (view on YouTube)
- Seattle Tunnel Partners repair work plan (pdf 4.8 Mb)
- Time-lapse camera of repairs
- Video of crews building the access pit (links to YouTube)
Live view of construction
Construction is hard to see in person because crews built a wall to shield neighbors from construction noise. The best view of STP's work is from our time-lapse camera. Click on the "SR 99 tunnel access pit" camera in the grid below to watch crews as they work to access and repair Bertha, or check out other viaduct-related construction happening elsewhere along the SR 99 corridor.

First off, sorry for not blogging last week. I had a case of 'burning the Lori at both ends.' Wait, that sounds like some sort of coven meeting with me as the sacrifice. Well, in a way it was… I guess? Enough pseudo-blathering; suffice it to say I had a lot of fun (work?) to do.
That week was great for weight loss. I lost 1.8 pounds, and believe it or not, I think the 'telling my body to let go of the weight' plan has some creedence (Clearwater Revival). Stress keeps … Continue reading ->]]>
Last week, I didn't weigh in, nor did I blog and I felt great about it. A listener phoned in and called me a 'bad girl' and said I should've taken my lumps and been accountable. Hahaha! Despite that sprinkle of pressure, I held strong.
I hadn't had a great week. When I say that, don't imagine me face first in a tower of cheesecakes surrounded by a moat of poutine I had to eat my way through first. I mean that I was on the road for … Continue reading ->]]>
Have I ever mentioned that for the majority of my life, I'm surrounded by dudes? I'm the only gal in my house, i.e. one husband, two sons. I grew up with one brother and no sisters. I am a comedian in a mostly-male industry. I am a radio host in a mostly-male industry. I do a little TV and a some magazine writing, and that's pretty much on my own. Do I have a comedy bit about tea-bagging? Damn right I do. I mean, except for the physical discomfort (?) of having dangley bits, I often feel like … Continue reading ->]]>
On this wacky weight-loss ride, I am regularly reminded of one thing – I know nothing. That could be construed as a negative, but it's really not. The saying 'ignorance is bliss' has a lot of merit really. I figure as long as I can laugh about it, I'll stay sane.
This week, I focused on an old standby – calorie counting. And I have a very exciting new motivation. We're going to Mexico in January and I'd like to arrive at the beach with a little less Lori to stuff in my suit of bathing. … Continue reading ->]]>
Weird food week, I'll tell ya that for free. There were two birthday cakes and hell no, I didn't have 'just a sliver.' Who am I? Giselle Bundchen? Why is it that day-old birthday cake, particularly eaten when you're alone watching crap TV, tastes better than licking the inside of a chip bag? Pfft, as if anyone would do that.
Best way to follow up multiple cakes – Halloween, obviously. While I did enjoy a handful of fun-sized chocolate bars, I didn't spiral out of control. Now if we had been giving out chips… well, those adorable … Continue reading ->]]>
I'm feeling pretty smug about how fabulously I snubbed my abusive boyfriend (the scale) this week. Oh, I could hear him lurking there under the bathroom sink with his sneering good looks, cheap beer and tribal tattoos, but I ignored the dink. As far as my week went in terms of eating, I was pretty stellar… well, until two days ago. It was Scary Movie Club and it's widely-known that large amounts of popcorn should be shoveled in … Continue reading ->]]>
In a fit of pseudo-drama, I almost didn't write this damn blog because all indications are that I've gained this week. Then I decided being candid and likely relating to people on the same wagon was important.
If you've been reading the blog for a while, you'll know I've had my issues with the scale and how it can eff me up. Thankfully, I am positively not alone in this. But like going back to a bad boyfriend, I hopped on it a few times this week. Right off the bat, 'a few times this week' … Continue reading ->]]>
It's been 2 weeks back on this here wagon, and I'm enjoying the ride. I realized a few days ago that I had made some adjustments to my weight loss efforts compared to how I was early this year. It's fair to say right now my eating is a lot more 'real life' based. I am not currently attempting to entirely banish white flour and sugar from landing in my mouth. I am not getting so wrapped up in the minutea of … Continue reading ->]]>
Well hi! It's so good to see you again. You look even better from this view. What view, you ask? From on this GD wagon, my friend!
After 3 weeks of false starts, I hurled myself back on the weight loss wagon. I honestly do picture a wagon in this scenario. It's not a Radio Flyer little red wagon. It's more of a western wagon. The first week, I got a handhold on the wooden floorboards but then when I tried to sling a leg up, it got caught in the wheel spokes and I fell … Continue reading ->]]>

You Want to Do What to My Where?
Yep, there are even procedures for the naughty bits
Photograph courtesy flickr/wokka
"I want to be 16 again, down there…" This is how one patient expressed what she hoped Dr. David Matlock, a pioneer in laser vaginal rejuvenation and aesthetic vaginoplasty, could do to overhaul her hooha. "Laser vaginal rejuvenation is for sexual gratification," Dr. Matlock explains. "Vaginoplasty is for the aesthetic enhancement of the vulva structures."
It turns out that much like stomach crunches, those "toning" Kegel exercises pregnant women (and Cosmo readers) are instructed to do can go only so far. Those who opt for vaginal rejuvenation—sort of a tummy tuck for your sugar walls—want a quicker, more drastic fix. Dr. Matlock surgically reconfigures a woman's vaginal opening from, say, a size 4 (as in number of kids) back to a pre-baby (even pre-intercourse) size 0. The downsizing, Dr. Matlock says, is intended to improve a woman's sex life—and as you might expect, enhance the pleasure of her male partner.
Then there's the outside. Dr. Matlock's aesthetic vaginoplasty procedure reshapes women who want their personal Georgia O'Keeffe painting to look more like something in a Penthouse spread—a majora (and minora) feat. Some patients bring their husbands' porn mags with them—pulling down their waistbands and pointing to themselves, then back to the centerfold—to demonstrate the look they want. Less camel toe? More camel toe? It seems that even down in these parts, cleavage is everything.
Surgeons from around the world pay $65,000 a pop to observe Dr. Matlock's finely tuned technique during an hourlong procedure in which he slices, stitches, staples, and cauterizes delicate vulvar structures. He claims the results last forever—or at least until the birth of the next child.

Building a kebab shop is evidently slow and difficult business. I reported back in November that a new kebab shop would be opening next to the Graffitti Club (renamed as The Johnston). In January I spoke with the workers there and they said they expected it to be open very soon (such as before the end of January). It's now late March and progress seems to have stalled. Even the graffiti on the window is getting cynical.
The interior looks half complete but Philthy, who seems to be keeping a close eye on local construction sites, is not impressed.

Re: Star Wars The Old Republic Pre Orders
Really did enjoy it once I was able to get in and play. tried 4 classes, bounty hunter being my fav of the 4 with Jedi Consular a close second. Also tried a Sith warrior which I didn't much like and an Imp Agent that was pretty cool too. Getting at launch, already have a group of RL friends playing anyway so that should be fun.
I do have to say though, without the voice acting and the way the quests are made to feel deeper than kill x of these, collect x of those (even though they really do boil down to that really) I don't think they'd get much sales even with the SW license.
At the very least It kept me involved and wanting to see the next plot twist in the character quests, and the side quests were fun. We'll see how long it keeps my interest but digging it at the very least.

Keith Maddox, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Psychology
Director, Social Cognition Lab
Tufts University
Dr. Maddox's work examines the social cognitive aspects of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination – seeking to understand topics such as: cognitive representations and stereotypes of African Americans based on variation in skin tone and other phenotypic characteristics; how stereotypes and prejudice influence perceptions of those who claim to be the targets of discrimination; stereotype threat among members of socially marginalized groups; and the role of social categories in spatial representation. In this talk, he will discuss his own experiences as a person of color in academia and how such experiences have informed his research program.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - The Big 12 Conference championship will be at stake when No. 3 Baylor visits No. 11 Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The Bears (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) will try to claim the school's first Big 12 title and first non-shared conference championship since winning the old Southwest Conference back in 1980. They also still harbor hopes of landing a spot in the BCS national championship contest.
For Oklahoma State (9-1, 6-1), having the opportunity to contend for the Big 12 title seemed improbable after a 30-21 loss at West Virginia on Sept. 28. But the Cowboys have won six straight, including last week's 38-13 triumph over then-No. 23 Texas.
A win Saturday would transform Oklahoma State into the conference favorite, with only No. 22 Oklahoma remaining on its schedule.

The service applies for Vodafone CU, Vodafone Prepay, Vodafone International and Olympiakos Prepaid packs
No need to wait. Try it out and see how easy it is
Top up using the Vodafone recharge / scratch cards on 1252 or via My Vodafone app
Via a prepaid recharge card (from 5€ to 30€), you can top up your prepaid phone simply and easily following the instructions printed on the back of the card. Simply use the following 3 steps:
- Scratch the surface of the card to reveal the code.
- Call 1252 from your mobile free of charge or call 6944 40 12 54 from a digital fixed phone (with extra charge) or go on My Vodafone app, and enter the code. You can also top up using a different Vodafone (tariff plan or prepaid) mobile phone by calling 1254 free of charge.
- Follow the instructions to enter the card code in order to register the recharge value and top up your prepaid mobile phone.
Top up using an e-receipt
You can top up by purchasing an e-receipt from terminals installed at kiosks and various retail points throughout Greece. Call 1252 from your mobile free of charge or 6944 40 12 54 from a digital fixed phone (with extra charge) or go on My Vodafone app and enter the 12-digit code printed on the receipt. You can also top up using a different Vodafone (tariff plan or prepaid) mobile phone by calling 1254 free of charge. This applies for amounts from 5€ to 30€.
Top up at a Vodafone store
Visiting a Vodafone store is the easiest method you can use to top up. Simply visit a Vodafone store, state your mobile phone number and the top-up amount of your choice and the relevant airtime will be credited automatically. Available credit amounts range between 5€ and 50€, always in integer numbers.
Top up via bank ÁÔĚs
You can top up your prepaid mobile phone at the ATMs of Alpha Bank, National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank.
Use the following steps:
- Insert your cash card in the ATM and enter your PIN, as you would for any other transaction.
- From the initial menu, select: Vodafone MOBILE TELEPHONY.
- Two options will appear on the screen, one for Vodafone account payments and one for Vodafone prepaid/CU top-up.
- Select: Vodafone prepaid/CU.
- The screen informs you that you are about to purchase credit by debiting your bank account. If you agree, select: Yes.
- Three alternative top-up options will appear on the screen (15€, 30€ or 60€).
- The ATM issues a payment receipt with a 12-digit code number. Use it to top up following the same process used for recharge cards, i.e. by calling 1252 or 1254 from a different Vodafone (tariff plan or prepaid) mobile phone free of charge.
Top up through a Vodafone tariff plan subscriber
Topping up through a Vodafone tariff plan subscriber and debiting their account, is an alternative top-up method in case you are unable to purchase a recharge card. The Vodafone tariff plan subscriber may call 1252 free of charge and follow the recorded instructions in order to select amongst the amounts of 10€, 20€, 25€, 30€, 35€, 50€, 70€ and 100€ by debiting their account.
Top up while abroad using Greek cards
You can top up using a Greek card while abroad by calling 1253 free of charge or sending a text message to 1252 with the letter "A" followed by a space and the 12-digit number printed on the card. Or you can top up by calling +306944401254 from a different mobile phone, with a relevant charge for the outgoing call to Greece.
- There is a specific expiry date for the airtime provided. Subscribers can be informed at any time by making a free call to 1252. More specifically:
- Concerning top-ups performed before 1 April 2012, the airtime provided will remain valid for 12 months from the date of the last top-up. Should no new top-up be performed during that period, the remaining airtime will expire.
- Concerning top-ups performed between 1 April 2012 and 30 September 2012, the airtime provided will remain valid until 30 March 2013. Should no new top-up be performed during that period, the remaining airtime will expire.
- Concerning top-ups performed since 1 October 2012 onwards, the airtime provided will remain valid for 6 months from the date of the last top-up. Should no new top-up be performed during that period, the remaining airtime will expire.
- The top-up that must be performed in order to prevent the expiry of airtime does not include airtime transferred through the Vodafone sharing service or from Vodafone tariff plan subscribers.
- Should the airtime validity period expire, any remaining airtime transferred through the Vodafone sharing facility or from Vodafone tariff plan subscribers will be lost.
- A subscriber can top up even if the airtime provided by the previous top-up has not been used up or even if their account has a negative balance. In this case, the positive or negative balance from the previous top-up (e.g. through the credit extension service) will be added to the new airtime.
- A subscriber can send text messages if the remaining airtime is more than 0.09 cents (inclusive of VAT).
- The value of top-up cards includes VAT and mobile telephony tax.
- Regardless of the top-up payment method, there is a 12% VAT fee for every top-up, following a regulation valid since September 2009.
- In every case, the expiry date of the SIM card remains the same. Once activated, the card remains valid for 12 months from the date of the last top-up. Upon the expiry of the 12-month period and if a top-up is not performed within the next 30 days, Vodafone reserves the right to disconnect the subscriber's personal telephone number from the network. The validity period of the SIM card cannot be cumulatively transferred to another top-up card.
Auto activation service of voice bundle for Vodafone Prepay subscribers
If you are enrolled in the auto activation service, every time you top up €10 or more, the voice bundle ''200 minutes towards all national networks for 31 days '' will be automatically activated €5 charge in your account. The auto activation service applies to all modes of top up apart from the credit extension service, Vodafone Sharing, bonus from the Citibank Visa, as well as via the menu of 1253 and 1254

Charles Krauthammer reminds us that, in the aftermath of the Mumbai massacre, we shouldn't lose track of the remarkable, once-in-a-generation achievement in the Middle East: ratification of the status of forces agreement between the U.S. and its fledgling ally Iraq. He continues:
Also largely overlooked at home was the sheer wonder of the procedure that produced Iraq's consent: classic legislative maneuvering with no more than a tussle or two — tame by international standards (see YouTube: "Best Taiwanese Parliament Fights of All Time!") — over the most fundamental issues of national identity and direction.
That any of this democratic give-and-take should be happening in a peaceful parliament just two years after Iraq's descent into sectarian hell is in itself astonishing. Nor is the setting of a withdrawal date terribly troubling. The deadline is almost entirely symbolic. U.S. troops must be out by Dec. 31, 2011 — the weekend before the Iowa caucuses, which, because God is merciful, will arrive again only in the very fullness of time.
Moreover, that date is not just distant but flexible. By treaty, it can be amended. If conditions on the ground warrant, it will be.
True, the war is not over. As Gen. David Petraeus repeatedly insists, our (belated) successes in Iraq are still fragile. There has already been an uptick in terror bombings, which will undoubtedly continue as what's left of al-Qaida, the Sadrist militias and the Iranian-controlled "special groups" try to disrupt January's provincial elections.
The more long-term danger is that Iraq's reborn central government becomes too strong and, by military or parliamentary coup, the current democratic arrangements are dismantled by a renewed dictatorship that abrogates the alliance with the United States.
Such disasters are possible. But if our drawdown is conducted with the same acumen as was the surge, not probable.
Every conventional wisdom has been turned on its head in the course of the Iraq War. And political ironies abound. The vilified George Bush did largely accomplish his goal of liberating an entire nation. A democratic regime can function in the Middle East. And there was in fact a military "solution"–one that preceded the political reconciliation. Each of these propositions was hotly disputed by the man who is now President-elect, who rose to power on the promise to end the "disastrous" war. After defeating the man who championed the successful war strategy, he will now preside, if he is competent, over a great diplomatic and military victory.
So President Obama can go wherever he chooses for his address to the Muslim world. But the most critical message has already been sent –via General Petraeus and George W. Bush. The Middle East need not be a bastion of extremism, violence, and anti-Americansim. Radical clerics don't have the last say unless the population passively consents. There is another route, one which Muslim countries can freely choose for themselves. What more need be said?

'Go Green' QuestionsNovember 2009
1. Please clarify consumption reduction year-to-year. Under the section titled "Natural Gas:" the "Pounds of Steam Produced:" has increased 13% yet consumption is stated to be down 13%. What am I missing in this statement? Thanks for the information, good stuff!
Many are scratching their heads after reviewing the Natural Gas Steam production numbers from our last news letter…..the intent of this column was to show that the Heating Plant produced more steam by consuming less gas; which means the boilers were operating approximately 13% more efficiently during the month of July this year when compared to the month of July last year.
2. Your answer seems to miss the point – that most places in the building are too cold. In many places you are missing your target by 10 degrees. I just teach occasionally in NSF 3202 or another room, but it is often too cold as well. I would suggest that this coming summer you institute a comprehensive program to insure that your target temperatures are being reached a high percentage of the time. I would also suggest that the optimal temperature you have adopted is too low, and that it should be at least up to 72, and maybe 72-74. This latter step is something that should be discussed with all parties, especially those occupying the building in the summer, and those of you responsible for the air handling and cooling equipment. A major decision like this also needs to be on the table before many faculty leave campus around the first of May.
The New Science Facility's mechanical systems have the flexibility to satisfy many target temperatures if all the system variables are working together properly. Over the past summer, the mechanical system did have some issues that the Facilities staff addressed. Please note that all classrooms and every third office have an adjustable thermostat…If adjusting the thermostat in an office or classroom does not correct the situation; please notify Plant Operations promptly (x2292) with the complaint and our staff will address the issue.
3. Did anyone see the discrepancy regarding NSF being newest and most efficient and then later costing the most???
The energy cost per square foot comparison previously shown between NSF and Jamrich Hall was meant to display the difference in cost between the types of facility usage and not to measure the cost efficiency between campus buildings. The square foot cost is higher in NSF because of the operating requirements of a laboratory facility; versus, the demands of operating an academic classroom facility such as Jamrich Hall. The reference to "efficiency" was in regard to the operation of the NSF building as compared to other laboratory facilities. Even though the NSF building is more expensive to operate than Jamrich, it does operate more efficiently when compared to buildings of its same type.
4. The outside doors on the west side of Hedgcock (under the hamster tunnel) stay open often because of the wind. It would make sense to either replace them with doors that open from the other direction or to unlock them half way, i.e. you would need to turn the handle or push the bar to use the door.
Thank you for the information. Facilities will review the situation and suggestions offered.

Victory e cigarettes are perfect for folks that like good flavor, solid e cigarette performance, and a low price. Victory has differentiated themselves in the marketplace as a company that has built a solid reputation based on providing good service and products, instead of through slick advertising and marketing like most electronic cigarette companies have. I actually learned about Victory E Cigs from a friend of mine, that suggested that I take them up on their $20 starter kit offer (expired 12/1/12).
Instead of creating an impression in people's minds through television – they rely on word of mouth advertising, and it really works for them. If you are interested in learning more about their offers and products, continue reading my Victory e cigarette review below.
One of the first things that you need to be aware of is that Victory's website is not the most transparent in the world, and perhaps they did this to pleasantly surprise their visitors. Victory always seems to be promoting special offers, discounts, and a variety of coupons, so if you haven't tried them yet – chances are good that they have a deal on one of their kits or products. This is not always easy to find, and I will show you how to keep abreast of their specials below.
One of the comments you hear most about Victory e cigarettes is how convenient they are, and with a "keep it simple" business model like Starfire Cigs, you won't be confused by an overwhelming number of options when you consider purchasing their products. They have 2 membership programs that you can choose from, if you are interested in having refill cartridges shipped to your home each month. With one of the 2 auto ship options, you get a 33% discount on refills, and for the heavy vaper, they offer a 40% discount when you get more refill cartridges each month.
Victory e cigarette users seem to be very happy with the performance of their e cigarette product line, and most people say it delivers a realistic "smoking like" experience. Victory has apparently figured out how to get very good performance out of a smaller sized e cigarette. They are well known for their excellent vapor production volume, which is surprising for an e cigarette that is the same size as a real tobacco "100s" cigarette. If you like smaller sized e cigarettes, Victory is one you should definitely try out for yourself.
The Victory E Cigarette Starter Kits
Victory has a nice selection of starter kits to choose from, including what they call a Micro E Cigarette Starter Kit, which is really just an e cigarette with 2 cartomizers. At $12.99 the Micro Kit is a really inexpensive way to try the Victory e cigarette products for the first time, and find out if you like the taste and performance.
Micro e Cigarette Starter Kit – priced at $12.99
1 Battery
1 USB Charger
2 Refill Cartridges
30 Day Money Back Guarantee
Lifetime warranty on all cartomizers, batteries, and chargers
Express e Cigarette Starter Kit – priced at $14.99
1 Battery
1 Regular Wall Charger
1 USB Charger
2 Refill Cartridges
30 Day Money Back Guarantee
Lifetime warranty on all cartomizers, batteries, and chargers
The most popular Victory e cigarettes starter kit is the Full Starter Kit. The Full Starter Kit offers more value than other comparable e cig starter kits, and this is because it includes 6 cartridge refills, a regular wall charger, a USB charger, and a car adapter. Most starter kits being sold at prices between $50 and $60 typically only include 5 refill cartridges and 2 of the 3 chargers, but with Victory you get a better deal.
Full e Cigarette Starter Kit – priced at $59.99
1 Battery
I Regular Wall Charger
1 USB Charger
1 Car Charger
6 Refill Cartridges
30 Day Money Back Guarantee
Lifetime warranty on all cartomizers, batteries, and chargers
Mega e Cigarette Starter Kit – priced at $199.99
Mega E Cigarette Starter Kit Includes:
2 Batteries
I Regular Wall Charger
1 USB Charger
1 Car Charger
1 Lanyard
1 Universal Carrying Case
21 Refill Cartridges
30 Day Money Back Guarantee
Lifetime warranty on all cartomizers, batteries, and chargers
Victory eLiquid Refill Cartridge Flavors
Most users remark about how good the Tobacco and Menthol flavors are, and after having tried them for myself, I can say that they are above average without a doubt. They do not have an extensive flavor lineup, but the eliquid flavors that Victory offers are above average and represent a tremendous value. Most users comment about how the e Liquid taste is well-balanced, and how it not too sweet like some other brands.
Rich American Tobacco
Fresh Mint Menthol
Nicotine Concentration Options
One of the really cool options you have with Victory e cigarettes is that they offer refill cartridges with varying amounts of nicotine e liquid. You can choose from a regular or light amount of nicotine, which is an excellent and often overlooked option – and comes in very handy if you are a lightweight a vaping newbie – or if you are tapering back on the amount of nicotine you use each day.
Regular Nicotine 1.6%
Low Nicotine 1%
NO Nicotine
Other Things to Consider with Victory E Cigarettes
Victory offers a full lifetime warranty on all of their products. This is one of the best warranties in the industry, and really demonstrates the company's commitment to their customers. Most other e cigarette companies only give you a lifetime warranty if you are on their auto-ship programs, but with Victory E Cigs, this is their standard way of doing business.
If you like having your refill cartridges auto-shipped each month, you can enroll in one of their 2 membership programs. You can choose the $19.95 option if you want a 10-pack home delivered, or you can go with the 15-pack each month for $26.95. With both of the programs, you can expect an additional battery every 3 months, which is just another plus for most folks. Either way, you are sure to get a terrific value with Victory, and most other e cig companies provide auto-ship each month that will cost you anywhere between 20 and 50% more.
If you like disposable e cigarettes, you will probably like the Victory disposable e cigarette. You can pick one up for $9.99, and you will find again that the quality of the vaping experience is above average. Most users say that the disposable delivers thick clouds of vapor, which is a little better than the rechargeable e cig. You can expect around 300-350 drags from the victory disposable as well, which is pretty typical for most disposable e cigarette brands.
Final Thoughts
Victory e cigarettes represent a terrific value overall. They have a fantastic lifetime warranty on all batteries, atomizers, and chargers – which is better than almost all other companies. They have an easy ordering system, and provide good customer service. Most people will be very happy with when they try Victory e cigarettes, and with a FREE starter kit that you can take advantage of right now, you really can't go wrong.
Update: 11/16/12 Our research has found that people interested in Victory E Cigs have been getting great results using the Victory E Cigs Starter Kit.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-- Mike Brownstein delivered a two-out, two-run single up the middle in the bottom of the seventh to crack a 5-5 tie while Edwin Carl and Cole White combined for three innings of two-hit relief as the 21st-ranked University of New Mexico Lobo baseball team secured a 9-5 victory over Mountain West Conference foe BYU (15-10, 5-4 MWC) Saturday afternoon at Isotopes Park. New Mexico (24-4, 5-1 MWC) struggled to connect with runners on base all afternoon, stranding nine runners before coming through in the clutch in the seventh.
The Lobos entered the frame trailing 5-3, but came away from the inning with five runs on five hits. Brian Cavazos-Galvez cut the deficit to one, lacing a single to left after Dane Hamilton led off with a walk and Kevin Atkinson singled. With Atkinson at second and Cavazos-Galvez at first, Justin Howard knotted it up with a single to left to plate Atkinson. Shortstop Daniel Gonzalez followed with a sacrifice bunt to advance Cavazos-Galvez to third and Howard into scoring position at second. Brownstein, who had reached base three times already, made it advantage Lobos with the single to plate the pair. After swiping second for his second steal of the day, Hamilton scored Brownstein with a single to right for an 8-4 UNM cushion.
White entered in the eighth stifling the Cougar offense over the final two innings to pick up his second save of the season, both coming from the weekend series. Carl picked up the win as the pitcher of record when UNM claimed the lead. Despite a couple shaky innings, starter Bobby Moore was effective, pitching six-plus innings with a career-high seven strikeouts.
The Lobos plated two runs in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. With the bases loaded, Atkinson lifted a sacrifice fly to center to score Max Willett. Cavazos-Galvez slashed a single to right, allowing Hamilton to score.
BYU countered with one in the second and a three-spot in the third. Moore struggled in just those two innings, as the Cougars pieced together four consecutive hits with two outs in the top of the third to steal the lead, 4-2.
New Mexico manufactured a run in the bottom of the fourth. After Gonzalez singled and Brownstein walked, Willett laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners. Gonzalez would score on a Hamilton groundout. UNM added another in the eighth with a Gonzalez single to right, his third of the day.
Matching Gonzalez' hits total was Atkinson, who also went 3-for-3 on the day. Cavazos-Galvez, Brownstein and Hamilton paced UNM with two RBI apiece.
The Lobos host Texas Tech on Tuesday, March 31 and Wednesday, April 1, before hitting the road for three-straight away series. Tuesday's game is set for 6 p.m., while Wednesday's will be at 2 p.m., both at Isotopes Park.

During the ownership of Automobili Lamborghini SpA by the Indonesian group, a study was made to put the gargantuan LM002 off road Lamborghini back into production.
It was known that the LM002 had his flaws but it still was a steady low volume seller, therefore a United Kingdom based company was contacted to design a successor to the LM002, but later this job was handed over to SZ Design, a company based on the remains of the Zagato Design Studio.
This was to become the LM003, named Borneo or Galileo, depending on what market it was offered on, the LM003 model was actually a confusing name, because an LM003 did already exist in the past, it was in fact an LM002 with a Turbocharged Diesel engine installed into it instead of the massive V12, but because the complete car was very underpowered with this engine configuration only one prototype was ever made and never left the factory.
A preliminary drawing was made for the new LM003 project which you can view at the top of this page, but an in dept market research study revealed only a small interest would exist in the new LM003. Most Lamborghini customers or future customers were not exactly waiting for a new off road vehicle from Sant'Agata, a much more wanted car would have been an Espada successor like the L149 project or a new Diablo successor.
Therefore the Borneo/Galileo never even made it into a prototype, this drawing and a few others made by Zagato exist, together with some technical proposals were about all that ever came from this try out although an actual full scale mock up was created of the LM003.
The shape of the Borneo looked much like the current Range Rover at that time, probably to biggest competitor for the new LM003 during that period, the Range Rover was about the only high-end luxury pseudo off road vehicle in existence, the Mercedes M-series, the Lincoln Navigator or the Hummer did not exist yet. As you might notice, all cars in this market area use a similar layout, using a type of station car look, just like the LM003 was designed to, although Michael Kimberley decided the new LM003 would be presented with three different body configurations, one like the drawing shows here, a 'normal' four door version like the previous LM002 and probably a third looking much like the open top Hummer which appeared later.
The new LM003 Borneo would become a joint venture between Timor, and Indonesian based automaker and Automobili Lamborghini SpA, again the body shell would not be made in Italy but in the Far East. The LM002 bodywork was in fact made in Spain when it was still in production.
A closer look at the LM002 Estate page will show you in fact a modified LM002, this LM was converted into a similar looking shape to this LM003 and is currently located in the United Kingdom.
In my personal opinion the market is currently open for a new high end luxury off road vehicle, the sales for the Mercedes M-series and Lincoln Navigator are quite well, so a new Lamborghini Off road vehicle could still make sense in a marketing point of view, naturally a small engined V-8 car to succeed the Jalpa would sell better, but the very high end market is where Automobili Lamborghini SpA could make a difference.
Why not mount a massive 7-Liter off-shore engine in the LM002 ...

I promised someone that I'd make a new thread about one of my mares who is pregnant and due Feb 14, 2013. Honey Boo Boo or her registered name, Bright As a Star Paint, is an APHA registered Frame Overo mare, born in 2003. She's bred to Obvious Fancy Gun, an APHA stallion who is also Frame Overo.
**Before anyone starts squawking, I did not do this breeding, would not do this breeding. Honey was well in foal before I bought her in late Sept. So we're praying hard for this foal.**
Honey was bred March 9 & 11, 2012, so she's 299 days in foal. If she goes a full 340, she'll deliver around Feb 14.
Here's what she looked like after I'd had her for about 1 month. I took these pics on Oct. 22, 2012.
She was 225 days in foal at the time of the pics.
Boo is built differently than my other mares, she has an extremely deep body and honestly, doesn't look pregnant to me at all. This mare is MASSIVE built, she only stands maybe 15.1 or 2, same as my Arab stallion, but she makes him look really small because of how she's built. Her heart girth is HUGE. If she wasn't totally disinterested in Skippy, my QH stallion, I'd think she had slipped the foal. She's getting bigger, she just doesn't have that huge side to side thing going on.

A Schnader Alert recently reported on New Jersey's new law, P.L. 2012, c. 57, requiring both posting and distribution of a notice advising employees of their right to be free from inequality or bias in the terms and conditions of their employment.
In that Alert we predicted that while the technical effective date of the law is November 19, 2012, it would take some time beyond that date for the New Jersey Commissioner of Labor and Workplace Development to develop and publish the notification to be required by this new law. We told covered employers, therefore, that the November 19 effective date referred to in the new law could not mean that posting and distribution of the new notice would be required on or within 30 days of November 19.
Please see full Alert below for further information.

Yadan Tang, second-place winner in the student poster competition of the Catalysis Club of Philadelphia, is held up by fellow Lehigh graduate students (l-r) Julie Molinari, Soe Lwin, Chris Keturakis, Anna Pougin, Chip Roberts, and Peter Phivilay.
Graduate students in chemistry and in chemical engineering won three prizes recently at one of the premier conferences in the northeastern U.S. that is devoted to catalysis research.
Yadan Tang, Julie E. Molinari and Christopher J. Keturakis took top honors at the student poster competition held by the Catalysis Club of Philadelphia. A total of 28 students, from the University of Pennsylvania, University of Delaware, Princeton University, Villanova University and Lehigh, took part in the competition.
The event was attended by university professors and by professionals from the chemical, petroleum and pharmaceutical industries.
Tang, a graduate student in chemistry, tied for second place in the poster contest, while Molinari and Keturakis, graduate students in chemical engineering, were recognized as runners-up.
Tang's poster presentation, titled "Formic Acid Decomposition on Bulk Metal Catalysts," was coauthored by Charles A. Roberts, a Ph.D. candidate in chemical engineering, and Israel E. Wachs, the G. Whitney Snyder Professor of Chemical Engineering.
Molinari's presentation was titled "Bridging the Gap between Heterogeneous and Enzyme Catalysis: Spectroscopic and Kinetic Study of a Vanadium Bromoperoxidase Mimic."
Keturakis' presentation was titled "New Insights into the Water-Gas Shift Reaction over Bulk Cr2O3*Fe2O3 Mixed Oxide Catalysts: A Combined Operando Raman-IR-XAS-MS Investigation."
Roberts presented a poster titled "In Situ ATR-FTIR Study of Photocatalytic Reactions over TiO2 and Supported TiOx Nanodomains."
Other Lehigh chemical engineering students who presented posters included Somphonh Peter Phivilay, Soe Lwin and Anna Pougin, who is a visiting graduate student from Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany. Their posters were all coauthored by Wachs.
Steven McIntosh, assistant professor of chemical engineering, gave an invited keynote address titled "Solid Oxide Fuel Cells—Moving to Proton Conduction and Material Insights by Neutron Diffraction."

From sweet, full-bodied cleans to heavy modern metal tones in an ultra-compact combo.
The 10W Kustom KG1 combo guitar amplifier may be small but it delivers rock-solid tones with rugged dependability and intuitive operation. The KG1 combo amplifier boasts a 6" Kustom speaker.
The KG1 offers sweet, full-bodied clean tones. And when the Gain switch is activated, you can dial in anything from Classic Rock tones to the heaviest, modern Metal sounds.
The Kustom KG1 amp's Tone control is optimized to produce rich midrange response when turned clockwise. This helps produce singing lead tones. When Tone is turned counter-clockwise, bass and treble frequencies are increased while the midrange reduced, perfect for producing today's heavy, scooped midrange tones.
Like every KG amplifier, the Kustom KG1 offers an auxiliary input for plugging in an MP3 or CD player to practice along with tunes and a 1/8" headphone input that silences the internal speaker for late-night playing. Your family and neighbors will love it.
All KG Series amplifiers include a 5-year, transferable electronics warranty to give you extra peace-of-mind with your purchase. For tone, features, and value you'd be hard-pressed to beat the Kustom KG1 combo.
