This week on Rock of Love…
…hey, wait. This show isn't Rock of Love! WTF?
First of all, how awesome is it that the opening animations keep changing every week?
This is a brilliant representation of attraction's inherent narcissism. Of course, this ground was already covered in the first episode of Rock of Love, but that's OK. Scott Baio Is 45…and Single, is clearly just catching up. Better late than neutered.
This, too, is amazing. Apparently, Denise Richards' feet freaked Scott out. He thought they were like flippers. Maybe she was into wearing pantyhose with open-toed shoes. You know, to give the illusion of webbed feet.
No matter. What seems like a non sequitur actually provides the basis of the episode: Scott's scrutiny. We open with Doc Ali asking Scott what his type is.
Hmmmm. Let's see. Pam Anderson. Julie. Renee. Heather Locklear. All of these girls have big…hearts. Yeah, that's it. Oh and they also just happen to be blonde. That's clearly what Doc Ali wants Scott to admit, but for some reason, he has a hard time doing so. Weird. Anyway, it'd be hard to argue with the fact that Scott has been with women that people would, by and large, consider hot. "Gotta walk in the room with the hottest chick, otherwise, what's the point of walking in the room?" says Scott. But then, what's the point of walking when you can be carried in like an Egyptian king? Hopefully, we'll get to the bottom of that quandary next episode. Anyway, with some more prodding, Scott breaks down his "type" to Doc Ali: blonde, no bigger than 5'6, good body, nice rear end, imperfect teeth, sense of humor, nice rack, maternal. But just because he wants a mommy, it doesn't mean he wants a wife. He explains his feelings on marriage like this: "If I don't ever get married, I'll never die." On the contrary, Doc Ali feels that doing the same thing, year after year, is death. No it's not. It's a life of little deaths. And that's not such a bad life, after all.
Anyway, the point of this conversation is to find out what is "perfect" to Scott. Doc Ali wants Scott to go to a matchmaker to be introduced to a woman against whom he can compare Renee. Keeping in mind Scott's temporary monk status (he's celibate, see), this will also present the opportunity to see if Scott can sustain a relationship with a woman he's not having sex with. Scott's reaction?
Scott has, apparently, accepted a new job as the face of blue balls.
Anyway, Scott meets his matchmakers.
Their names are Eva and Cheri. Cheri introduces herself second as, "her other half." At first it's like, oh awesome! Lesbian matchmakers. But then we find out that Cheri is actually Eva's daughter. So that's how things are in that family?
They talk with Scott about finding his perfect match. They're not interested in "patterns" of physical attraction, but the internal qualities that Scott gravitates toward. These include warmth, understanding, sweetness and kindness. What, no malice and spite? Get out! Scott gets in some words about his physical preferences, too, and in the process, draws the unlikely but dead-on connection between the Creature from the Black Lagoon and a mammogram.
Imagine that in 3-D. It's enough to make your nipples stand on end.
Scott then meets up with ex-girlfriend and fellow Charles in Charge star Nicole Eggert.
It's amazing what a frozen frame can do to create the illusion of the perfect family, right?
Anyway, from their conversation, we learn that Scott's a "next best thing" guy, which, apparently, is typical of Hollywood types. The preservation of the casting couch depends on that.
Later, Scott hangs with his brahs.
Ding dong! Pizza!
What seems like a porno scenario in reverse (it's usually the pizza guy who boinks the babe, right?), is actually…
…exactly that! It's unclear if she's a hired stripper or if her uniform is just really scratchy.
Scott takes her into the back and we're treated to a stop-filming-me moment.
Love that.
Now, usually when you catch a dude paying a woman in a hallway, it's for services rendered. In this case, it's so those services are never offered. The temptation is running way too thick for Scott, so King Blue Balls casts porno pizza girl out of his kingdom. Upon receiving Scott's $200 offering, pizza girl says, quite awesomely, "You didn't even see my pasties!" Kinda breaks your heart, no?
And then, it's time for his match-made date. He brings Johnny V along just in case his blind date looks like Rosie O'Donnell. He should probably be more concerned about whether his date likes like Rosie O'Donnell. Girls who like girls are no use for such a ladies' man, however ironic that sounds.
But she doesn't look like Rosie, and so Johnny is sent away. She's actually cute.
Or so it would seem for, like, three seconds before Scott starts taking her down. Her teeth are too perfect and she has the hands of an ape. Supposedly. Oh well, if you can't marry her, at least you can use her for an exotic ashtray. Anyway, Scott realizes that this sort of scrutiny that he does is exactly his problem and that when it comes to someone like Renee, he actually enjoys flaws. He leaves this girl, now the second blonde in a row that he didn't bang.
At the end, Scott receives a message from Renee: her daughter's coming to town and she'd like for him to see her.
Let's see if Scott can do 0-3. We're pulling for him…but not like that.

Matt Davis doesn't have a problem getting along with anybody. He has the kind of outgoing personality that will keep his teammates loose for hours.
But even he had to be at least slightly challenged by this past weekend's Gridiron Kings 7-on-7 Showcase in Orlando, Fla. For the Texas A&M quarterback commitment to excel, he was going to have to throw touchdowns to … gasp … future Texas Longhorns receivers.
Blasphemy! Or is it, really?
Well, it turned out to not be much of a big deal. In fact, Davis and his good friend and future Aggies teammate Bralon Addison enjoyed playing football with players like Texas WR commitment Cayleb Jones, who is rated No. 5 in the Sporting News Top 125. Throw in a TCU recruit, an Oklahoma recruit and a few others, and this group broke the Southeast's dominance of the annual summer event. The Southwest contingent won it all, led by Davis—the top-rated QB in the Sporting News Top 125.
"It's a little different to be out there with the UT people, but they're all great dudes," Davis told Sporting News. "They know us the same way we know them—through the Internet, hearing about them and watching their highlight tapes online. But all of them are genuinely good guys … Those 48 minutes, when we're on the field going against each other one day, it'll be competition. But afterwards, it'll be all friends. It's nice knowing we can all get along fine when we're going to be rivals one day. It's fun."
Davis was throwing to Jones and to another Texas WR commitment, Thomas Johnson. He also had his future running back, Aggies recruit Trey Williams, in the backfield. Defensive stars like Devante Harris (Oklahoma) and Bryson Echols (Texas) bottled up opponents, too.
These kinds of pairings are not uncommon, mind you. In past years, Alabama and Auburn recruits have lined up together, as well as future Florida and Florida State players, and USC and UCLA recruits. But this year, a recruiting war has taken place early—and Texas and Texas A&M have been the two schools waging it.
Addison thoroughly enjoyed lining up with Jones, who he could very well compete against for Big 12 first-team WR honors one day.
"Nah, he's a great guy," Addison said. "Some people might think that because he's the No. 2 receiver in the country (behind consensus No. 1 WR Dorial Green-Beckham of Missouri) that he's a stuck up guy or arrogant, but he's the opposite of that. It hurts me that we have to be rivals in the Big 12, but right now we're fine."
Jones agreed.
"It wasn't weird at all," Jones said. "We all knew where we were going, whether it was OU or UT or A&M or LSU, so we put that aside and just played ball. I just feel like all the Texas guys from our state had a lot to prove, in general. So it was an honor to be able to play with everyone and have such good chemistry, to overcome egos and be unselfish. My high school isn't a state championship team. We've won nine games in two years, so to be a part of a championship winning team for Gridiron was amazing. I loved the whole Southwest team and wouldn't have changed anything."

Hello From AL
I picked up scrapbooking back when I was in college as a way to showcase my meetings with political big wigs during campaign season, then my cousin had the first great grandchild of the family and I made a scrapbook for my grandmother. I was hooked! I spent all my extra money on scrapbook supplies and started scrapping my old pics with a vengeance.
For my wedding I made my own guestbook and scrapped gifts for my bridesmaids. I then scrapped 4 books for my family members of the wedding. It took me over 4 years (until I found out I was pregnant) to finish my wedding album.
After my son was born last year, I was determined not to fall behind again in scrapping so I picked up Digital scrapbooking. Now I create most of my LO's for my son's photobooks and a few layouts of my three fur babies or the occasional one starring my husband or me.
When I am not scrapping, I am chasing around my 1 year old, taking tons of pictures of him, and the occasional hike.
I started blogging and recorded me making my layouts for inspiration to anyone who wants to watch it. www.shellbooking.com

Who are you?
My name is L16, and I am a super sleek door collection designed by Piero Lissoni for Lualdi Porte.
Where are you from?
I am 100 percent made in Italy. I come from the country's—and arguably the world's—design capital, Milan.
Aside from sugar and spice and everything nice, what else are you made of?
A world of secrets—fortunately, I have a soundproof core to make sure none of them ever escape. I also have an outfit for every kind of party. From elegant, natural wood finishes like light oak, dark thermo wood and walnut canaletta to fancy matte and glossy lacquers, they all blend in perfectly with my concealed pivot hinges and magnetic lockset.
What one word best describes you?
Slender—I am only 16 millimeters thick!
What are your biggest turn-ons?
I love seeing the faces of people who open me and discover exciting worlds behind me.
It really bothers me when people slam me. Respect, please.
How do you define good design?
As a door, I see a lot of interiors, as well as people's reactions to them. Let me tell you: It's the balanced combination of functionality and beauty that wins, every time.
What inspires you?
Bold design, experimentation and innovation.
How do you lessen your
environmental impact?
Built to last, I am the essence of sustainability.
In what type of interior
environment do you make the
greatest impact?
I'm a social chameleon; I like to be around different crowds, from hotels to boutiques.
Describe the secret to your success.
I dress to impress. I can be custom-finished to the most detailed requirements needed, including dimensions, finishes and hinges. Combining high quality materials and
historically exceptional manufacturing
techniques with contemporary styles and
lines makes me durable and irresistible.

A real estate company in New York is giving each of its 800 employees a permanent 15% raise for no additional work. All it's asking for in return is that the employees tattoo the company's logo somewhere on their bodies.
Owner Anthony Lolli says the idea came to him after an employee voluntarily inked Rapid Realty's logo on himself.
"He calls me up, he says 'Hey Anthony, I'm getting the logo on me,'" Lolli recalled to CBS New York. "I show up at the shop and I'm like 'this is cool, how can I repay you?'"
And so he came up with the tat incentive: Employees that get a Rapid Reality tattoo of any size anywhere on their body are automatically entitled to a 15% pay increase.
Lolli says 40 of his employees have already taken him up on the offer.
"I was like, why am I throwing my money away when I could give myself from a $25,000 to $40,000 for the same amount of work?," Realtor Stephanie Barry said.
Lolli himself has yet to get tattooed himself, but claims he will "eventually."

Call off the National Guard, you guys. The emergency is over. Kendra Wilkinson's husband Hank Baskett successfully dissuaded the former Girls Next Door star and Hugh Hefner lady friend from posing in Playboy "for the wrong reasons." We're sure you'll be sleeping soundly tonight knowing that crisis was averted.
Rumors sprung up earlier today alleging that Kendra wouldn't be stripping down due to lingering baby weight. That claim seemed fairly dubious considering that based on a bikini pic Kendra tweeted this summer, girl weights about as much as a hummingbird…who happens to have giant breast implants. Instead, it turns out hubbie Hank was the one who pulled the plug on Wilkinson pulling off her drawers, after walking in on her getting a few test photos taken.
"He didn't yell at me," explained Kendra. "He wasn't mad at me for doing that photo shoot. He actually sat down with me and he went over the reasons of doing it. And you know, my reasons weren't right. I wanted to do Playboy for the wrong reasons. The wrong reasons are to prove people wrong, not to prove it to myself but to people and to put my middle finger up to everybody and be like, 'I'm going to do Playboy!' But that wasn't the right reason, you know?" We would have to politely disagree, Kendra! Vengeance nudity the best kind of nudity (See also: Janet Jackson)! What's the point of busting your buns to be a hot mom if you can't silence the haters with a quick trou-dropping? If Kendra wants to take it all off, that's between her, God, and the millions of red-blooded Americans that will be looking at her naked. Besides, what's even the right reason to pose nude? Money? Oh wait…it's money, isn't it? [Photo: Getty Images]

Dark hair blowing
In the winds of hot desire
And dark eyes glowing
Like two diamonds filled with fire.
Dancing to the rhythms;
Well into the night;
Nothing taken most was given
Rocking on till all's right
Was it accordance?
Or maybe a prelude who's to know;
But it was certainly fully loaded;
Dangerously speedy but comfortably slow.
Cocktails at the penthouse;
Lights down low
Cat tails swishing
Nothing left to show

we used to use size tiered compaction then alter column family to leveled compaction.
it seems that each node has a lot of compaction jobs in our current system. (we originally had 4 nodes, recently added 4 so 8 in total now)
e.g. this node has 2143 pending tasks.

however, we see the same column family being in validation in multiple task progress.
The question is that why cassandra seems doing same thing again and again over the same set of data? the column family UserNameUid has 760GB data in total and it seems ridiculous to perform multiple concurrent jobs doing the same thing on the same data.

4 Close-Up, High-Def, Insanely Awesome Shooter's-Style Sandwiches
The classic shooter's sandwich is made by stuffing cooked steak into a hollowed out loaf of bread along with sautéed mushrooms and onions, dressing it with mustard and horseradish, then wrapping it tightly and pressing it overnight under very heavy weights. You end up with a sort of portable version of beef Wellington the next day, ready to be sliced into wedges and eaten on a picnic (or a hunt, as the case may be). But as impressive as it may be on paper, we discovered the sad reality by making the absolute best version of the original shooter. It fails at the most basic job of any great sandwich: the whole must be greater than the sum of its parts.
But the idea of a party-sized, ultra-pressed sandwich is so appealing that I've spent the last few weeks brainstorming and testing recipes for versions of shooter's-style sandwiches that actually work.
Check out our awesome interactive infographic to take a look at four of my favorites and get an up-close and personal look at what's in between the buns.

City hosts egg scramble
Youngsters race towards their prizes during the Easter Egg Hunt at the Spring River Park and Zoo, Saturday morning. (Mark Wilson Photo)
Joshua Woody collected as many eggs as his 4-year-old hands could grab, until his basket toppled over.
Luckily for him, an older boy saved his day just as other children tried to grab the colorful plastic orbs, filled with possible prizes.
"One bigger kid stood up for him and said, 'No these are his eggs!," said his grandmother Judy Daniel.

go here for help http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...s-usb-hdd.html
MPlayer CE seems to have an issue finding my FAT32/NTFS (listed both because ive tried both formats with same result) partition on the USB hard drive i use. its partitioned so that usb loader can read the game backups, which required the RAW format. (was getting the same result from usbloader when i had the raw format drive as the 2nd partition so i switched them to get that to work)
it seems to only find it 10% of the time. i get a message stating no FAT32/NTFS is mounted. if i exit out and load a game backup through usbloader then exit and try MPlayer CE again it seems to have a greater chance of finding the drive. but.. other times it takes me reseting the wii several times and trying it before it eventually finds the drive.
does anyone know a better way to point MPlayer CE, or GX usb loader in the right direction? im not seeing any option to point it to a drive letter.
partitions just seem to be a headache for the wii all together.
any help when someone gets a chance is greatly appreciated.
also, i have tried MPlayer CE versions 0.70 and 0.76 with same result.

when using WBFS manager, when it goes to load the drive it tells me it needs to be formated so i format it.. then it comes up as RAW in My Computer and i cant do anything with it unless i reformat it. leaving it as RAW lets WBFS manager load the drive and transfer the games.
i tried to put the backups on the drive before using WBFS and they never worked.
Dont leave it in RAW format....
You have to leave it in WBFS and YES your computer will not recongnize it.... when windows comes up and says that you have to format to work with just ignore it and load WBFS manager and load the games and then eject the drive and load it up on the wii... and if you want search the forum for how to partiiton for wiiware/vc and wii games all in one...
I could be wrong but when you go to computer managment and disk managment the WBFS drive will show up on the computer as RAW format. Thats what mine does even though it is in WBFS format.
yes i understand..... but the thing is this:
1. Windows does not Recognize the WBFS format and defaults to display RAW in the Disk Management...
2. Your WBFS Manager will see the WBFS Partiiton and work from there...
so saying that is correct and incorrect... it is not in RAW its WBFS but windows just thinks it is because it does not read WBFSleaving it as RAW lets WBFS manager load the drive and transfer the games.
If you can, and wish to remove yourself of all the headaches between windows not reading the WBFS and you have the time and you can get all the games back that you may lose - reformat the whole lot into a single FAT32 partition and put anything you want on then, scrubbed games, movies, TV, MP3, WiiWare EMUs & ROMS, etc, then everytime you plug it into the Wii or the PC, none of them will complain.
Read these threads for good reading:
You can do better than WBFS/WBFS Manager & USB Loader GX - you just need showing the chosen path

JKD UnderGround >> Managing distance - a failure analysis

This is the second time this happened to me, I failed to 'manage distance' in a 'street encounter' (at first).
We've all had this happen, we're standing in line to check out of a store, shopping cart in front of us and some dimwit either bangs into us from behind, tries to elbow us out of the way to put their stuff up on the checkout belt area, brings a big bag or article (like in Lowe's) and bang it into your from behind.
You turn around and say 'Sir, Ma'am, you're banging into me with your stuff, cart, your kid kicked me'.
They are nice and say 'sorry! Billybob, stop kicking the nice man'. Billybob, kicks you again 'like this?'.
A lot of time you can see it coming. What I'm thinking is I need to get in front of the cart, block the cart wheels with my foot so they don't use the 'Rick O'Shea' technique on you.
The reasons you want to do this and be aware of this are:
1. Situational awareness
2. Pre-emption of some kind of confrontation
3. Learning when you 'see it coming' you take steps to not be there.
So, if we've got some stuff in a cart and this starts to happen, you can:
1. Abandon
2. Fortify
3. Barrier
4. Call for a Manager (if it happens to a threshold level).
What we tend to do is:
1. Confront
2. 'Step outside' (wrong, wrong, wrong.) - if you solve it inside the store, use the manager, get the person(s) ejected or pulled elsewhere, or call 911 and say 'I'm being stalked, harassed, bothered'. You sidestep the legal system if you handle it 'outside'.
3. Leave your stuff and come back later, go to another line. (If you know something is going down in a store you need to have a signal to leave the cart and go to the car). We get 'attached' to our 'stuff' and it causes a SA fail.
4. Listen to your fear, spidey sense and don't blow it off. You could end up shooting someone over trying to get that hamburger that got left out of your bag at the delivery window (real event almost happened).

The evolution of this idea is widespread, and the Gracies talk about this in a fairly new video on Youtube. In it they talk about how fight outcome (or even needing to fight) is first accomplished by this principle.
As in firearms and other close range weapons systems, the key components are 'time', 'distance' and 'cover' (or concealment). These are universals. In H2H 'cover' could mean forearm shield, peek-a-boo boxing defense (Crazy Monkey; Floyd Patterson). Time and distance could mean 'timing' or broken rhythm in H2H, and of course distance in firearms is similar to bridging the gap, ranges of fighting and effective ranges of firearms, knife attacks (Tueller drill).
But my problem with the Gracie's video is that why is a purple belt (their example) complaining because he, a sport-fighting enthusiast, was not taught by the Gracie method that you might (OMG) get punched if he took his game to the street. He blames his instructor 'why was I not told...'?
Well, he failed to 'think' about fighting, and limited it to sport strategies, and/or he thought he was all that because he could win a tournament, or maybe his affiliate didn't start out with the right 'base' (SD).
I think by the time you're a purple you should have a 10,000 foot view of SD, sportfighting, training, self-coaching.

great points... i like your threads.
on point 3 of what we do... beware if you try to get mgmt to step in and all they do is escort the troublemaker out. you exit and troublemaker is outside waiting for you all the while seething and you get blindsided.

Stick, yeah, that's OK, I'd stay in the store and call 911 OR, one thing you can do is ask the manager to escort you to your car. THey'll do that in the major grocery stores.
That's one thing that I talk about when I discuss situational awareness. A woman or elderly person goes out to their car at night. They are armed so they feel empowered. BUT, they will fail at two points. Putting the groceries in the car and getting into the drivers seat.
So armed or not, Fedor-like MMA abilities, you can't beat having a manager walking to your car and helping you load the stuff in. IOW, then two pairs of eyes and two people beat firearms and MMA skillz.
Thanks for the kind words.

Building a successful site requires a lot of work and time. A lot of websites that are started often wind up not getting anywhere. They tend to die before anyone even knows it exists. One of the best ways to gain traffic to your site is through pay per click advertising (PPC). Pay per click goes well with SEO practices. Your efforts will be more likely to be rewarded when you use pay per click. The only problem that you need to solve is whether to have all of your PPC advertising done in house or to have it done by an agency. The following are seven reasons that you should use an agency for your PPC advertising. Saves a Bit of Time One of the things that is needed for a successful online business is time. Pay Per Click management takes up a lot of that time. There are a ton of things that need to be updated in order to run a successful adwords campaign. Among the things you need to update are keywords. You also have to constantly monitor your ad campaign. Fortunately, if you turn the work over to an agency, they will not only free up your time, but they will also handle the PPC campaign in a more efficient manner. Saves Money Time is money. Also, skill is money.
If you have no clue on running a PPC campaign, you could find yourself wasting a lot of money. An agency knows how to take your budget and make the most of it. This is often done by way of handling bid prices. There is also the targeting optimization that will minimize the irrelevant visits that you have to pay for. Meaningful Results The most important goal for PPC agencies is to make sure that their clients have a successful campaign. Your ad performances are constantly monitored in order maximize the success of your business. As a result of their efforts, your site will get only the most eligible visitors. Experience When it comes to experience, agencies have more experience with PPC advertising campaigns than others. Therefore, they have a better sense of how things work. They don't just have book knowledge. They have hands on experience. In this case, they are comfortable and can do the job in a more efficient manner. Dedicated Support from Google PPC Agencies are usually in contact with Google. They often get their technical support from Google. As a result, any problems that they have are dealt with in quicker fashion. They also get to preview new features that are being tested.
Focus focus is a very important aspect of the PPC agency. In this case, Pay Per Click is the focus. As a result, they know everything there is to know about the method. So they have ways of bringing forth a successful campaign that you would fail to bring about due to the time and skill required that is lacking. Knowledge of SEO SEO is understood and is often a secondary offer at PPC agencies. Internet marketers have heard a lot about SEO and its importance to running a successful online business. As a matter of fact, SEO and PPC can work hand in hand for the success of your business. When you consider all of these benefits, you would see why it is a better idea of hiring a professional PPC service.

I tried this place last week. I'd refused to eat anywhere else, but Dutch Pot because no one seemed to match up, but let me tell you. Their food is good and now I will no longer make the trek to Plantation for Dutch Pot. I still like them, but I will stay right here in Lauderdale Lakes at Irie Takeout because the food is on the same level and for me more conveniently located. Their oxtail was great. I wish they would remove a little more fat off of them though and the rice and peas had the right amount of coconut milk in them. I'm going to try their brown stew chicken this week ;-) they have a new customer right here lol. I was shocked because just to look at the place you wouldn't expect the food to be so good, but it was awesome, fast, and hot too.
Posted by Heppyd on 11/01/2012
This is a small restaurant. If you want ambience that's not the place for you. The place is noisy but the Oxtail is the best I've had in years. This could be the best Oxtail in Ft Lauderdale. It's a take out restaurant....use the take out feature.
Posted by Tina on 09/11/2010
My husband and I eat at Irie Take-Out at least 3-4 times a week, and the food is always hot and delicious! We have busy schedules so this food is just like cooking at home less the time and energy. Excellent soups and oxtails.
Posted by YDB on 01/27/2009
Since the new ownership a couple of years ago the food here is sooo much better. Friendly fast service.

Reflective cracking in asphalt pavements generally occurs over the joints of underlying concrete slabs or cracks in cement bound base layers. It can also be caused by the expansion, contraction and bending from thermally induced movement of the substrate or by traffic induced shearing, and in widening schemes by differential settlement where the old and new slight meet.
Tensar's asphalt reinforcement grids interact with the bitumen bound layer to add tensile stiffness, limiting asphalt strains and reducing the development of cracking (when cracks do eventually develop they're often much smaller too). Structural asphalt grids can also reduce surface rutting associated with low stiffness mixes, subject to slow heavy wheel loading at high temperatures. Asphalt composites are grids bonded to a textile fabric that absorbs bitumen from the bond coat and can act as a stress relief membrane (also known as a Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer or SAMI). The fabric can also act as a barrier to help prevent water getting into the pavement underlayers.
Over the last 25 years, Tensar's asphalt reinforcement systems have been subjected to extensive independent research and testing at many leading international institutions, including the UK's University of Nottingham with performance experience gained from many monitored installations in many countries.

OK, I'm kinda confused by you wording. Are you getting everything for $600 .... or are you paying $600 for the drums, and $500 for the cymbals?
Superstars (new) run around $750. And if you pay sales tax up there, then that's more. So, good deal, maybe not. So so deal, perhaps.
As far as the cymbals go, series (model) is extremely important. I'd venture to say, pass on the cymbals. A guy with a Superstar kit is probably not going to have Zildjian A, A Custom, or K cymbals. And if he does, he's gonna advertise that fact. So, if he's selling ZBT's, ZHT's, or ZXT's, I'd pass on the cymbals. Unless, of course, the whole package is $600, out the door. If that's the case, not a bad deal.
You've already identified the make (Tama) and model (Superstar) yourself.

The All Important Brush
All of my brushes tell a story. They come from different parts of the world. . . and I was there.
You have to hold them just right, you have to slow down your stroke, you have to mix the pigment-to-binder-to-water just so. The style of painting is called Delft in Holland, Faience in France and Maiolica in Italy.
Of all the brushes I own, these 2 brushes are the most special. The brush on the right was given to me by the artist Alberto Lunghini of Ferrara, Italy. If you join the locals on their evening Passeggiata you will go right by his beautiful shop.
The brush on the left was a gift from the head painter of a company in Holland. The company has been making hand painted tiles since 1594, which ranks it amongst one of the oldest companies in the world.
While at the factory, I noticed that each painter worked with a slightly different, although similar, brush. You can't buy this brush. It is made by each painter. And this is how:
You befriend your butcher. If he likes you, he will give you the ear from an ox. You can then pull out a few hairs from the ear, then find a whole bunch of hair from a sable and then you have to figure out how to attach all of this hair to a handle. Or you can wrestle your cat for his newly caught mouse and proceed as above. Now you know why that particular brush is so special.
My father taught me how to take care of a fine brush. These brushes should last me for the rest of my life. I won't have to make friends with the butcher (unless I want to) and I don't have to steal a mouse from Stanley, my cat.

Apple Pie

Here is how to make an apple pie and I will share a secret with you. Instead of cold water use cold milk. The crust bakes nice and brown and the pie dough is easier to handle. This pie has only a top crust. Who needs the extra calories?

Talent and Compassion
I have been painting in the Maiolica style for several years, having learned the art in Deruta, Italy. Cindy only needed a few lessons and she was on her way.
All of the proceeds will go to a charitable foundation that Cindy and her husband founded many years ago in honor of a young man who died much too early. Not only is Cindy a very, very talented artist she is also a very compassionate person, a quality you will know about Cindy as soon as you meet her.

Biscotti di Noce
Most often, Italians prefer fresh fruit accompanied by an excellent cheese for desert. The exception is the biscotti or twice-baked bread.
Here is an authentic recipe for this delectable little cookie. Sometimes, after the biscotti is baked, I will dip either end of the cookie into a fine dark and melted chocolate.
1 cup blanched whole almonds
1/2 cup of hazelnuts
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup hazelnut meal
5 eggs
1 stick unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
2 cups sugar
1 tb finely grated lemon zest
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toast almonds and hazelnuts separately for 10 minutes each. Rub hazelnuts inside a kitchen towel to remove most of the skin.
Add hazelnuts to the remaining whole almonds and chop coarsely.
Reduce oven to 350 degrees.
Butter 2 large cookie sheets.
Combine all dry ingredient (except sugar).
In large bowl whisk eggs until frothy. Stir in butter, sugar and lemon zest.
Stir in flour and nut mixture until well blended. Dough should be sticky, if too dry add a little milk.
With slightly wet hands shape dough into 4, 12x3 inch logs and place about 4 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake 25 minutes or until firm in the center (or golden brown).
Let cool slightly. Do not turn off oven.
Slide the logs onto a cutting board and cut diagonally into half inch slices. Stand slices on edge. Return to oven and bake until brown or about 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Bargains in Europe
Driving along the motorway (as "Navi", the GPS calls them), at about 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, start looking for church towers
Gasthauses are charming, they serve the best dinners, the best breakfasts, they have the best featherbeds, modern bathrooms, and owners who are friendly and courteous, and who almost always speak English. And all this for $65 to $85 a night.

It Worked, Natural Pesticide
We came back from Europe a few days ago. Everything was frozen. That is to be expected living in Utah at 6,000 feet. The apples and pears are ripe for the picking. They like a little frost.
We do not use pesticides on our property and have had to accept that a certain amount of our produce would be damaged. This year is different. We tried a new recipe, and it worked. Not 100% but we saved more than half of our fruit crop.
Early in Spring make a concoction of: 1/2 c. molasses, 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar, 1 pkg. of dry yeast, 1/2 cup of mashed raisins, 3 cups of water.
Cut a one by two inch hole into the upper part of a milk or juice carton. Leave the bottom part of the hole intact to use as a "landing strip" for the Coddling Moth. Apple worms start as eggs laid ON THE FRUIT by their Moth parents. Hang the carton on a branch very early in the Spring. One for each tree. Replenish with water as needed.
We were concerned that the Bees might also be attracted to this mixture, however, we only found moths and a few other smaller insects inside the traps.

Penn State Football - Post-game Notes
PSU vs Michigan Post-Game Notes
Trio Named First Team All-Big Ten; Robinson Earns Second Receiver of the Year Award
Robinson, Jones and Urschel on First Team; Nine Nittany Lions Earn Honorable-Mention
Big Ten Receiver of the Year Robinson Named to Biletnikoff Award Watch List
Made Penn State Season Record 77 Receptions for 1,013 Yards and 11 Touchdowns in 2012
Breaking school records wasn't high on Deon Butler's list of goals when he came to Penn State as a walk-on defensive back in 2004. Making the squad was. Trying to have an impact and get the Nittany Lions back on the winning track was. The coaching staff saw something in the foreign squad member during the challenging fall of '04. The following spring, Butler was asked to move to wide receiver, where he burst onto the college football landscape as a highly productive and reliable receiver, making a school freshman record nine touchdown catches. Butler was among the influx of highly skilled playmakers that helped lift Penn State to the 2005 Big Ten and FedEx Orange Bowl titles and a 29-9 record the past three years. Entering his senior season, Butler has emerged as one of the top receivers in Penn State history. Having made at least one reception in 36 of 38 career games, he is perched in the Top 5 on the school career receptions, receiving yardage and touchdown charts. The athletic and sure-handed Butler has made 132 career receptions, rising to No. 2 on the school career list, trailing only All-American Bobby Engram's 167 grabs. Butler's 1,961 career receiving yards are good for No. 5 on the school list, needing just 39 yards to pass All-American O.J. McDuffie and become only the fourth Nittany Lion with 2,000 career yards. Bryant Johnson (2,008) and All-American Kenny Jackson (2,006) rank No. 2-3. Butler also has 15 career touchdown catches, tied with Terry Smith and Joe Jurevicius for fourth place. The school record-holder with 216 receiving yards against Northwestern (on 11 catches) in 2006, Butler is one of just three Nittany Lions to gain 200 receiving yards in a game. A three-year starter, the former Washington Post All-Met honoree from Hylton HS should be a candidate for the Biletnikoff Award and other post-season honors. The athletic, swift and sure-handed Butler is a vital component of arguably the most talented and productive group of receivers to ever don the blue and white. The intelligent and instinctive Butler has joined classmates Jordan Norwood and Derrick Williams in becoming the first trio of Nittany Lions to each make 40 or more catches in a season, accomplishing the feat the past two years (twice in 121 years). Butler is a "field stretcher," noted for his attention to route running. He is a dependable target capable of making a big play with each reception, whether it be a streaking over the shoulder catch, a diving or leaping grab in the end zone or finding a seam across the middle. Humble, with an easy-going demeanor and wide smile, Butler earned his degree in crime, law and justice in May 2008. A contributor to the Emmy-Award winning Penn State Football Story, Butler is among six returning Nittany Lions from Virginia and among 10 returnees who played prep football in metropolitan Washington, D.C.

Apparently There Really Is Such Thing As Mind Blowing Sex
According to Live Science a 54-year-old woman showed up to the hospital unable to remember the past 24 hours. The last thing the lady could remember, having mind-blowing sex with her husband.
While sex can be forgettable or mind-blowing, for some people, it can quite literally be both at the same time. The woman, whose case was reported in the September issue of The Journal of Emergency Medicine, was experiencing transient global amnesia, a rare condition in which memory suddenly, temporarily, disappears.
Though rare (5 out of every 100,000 people) patients with transient global amnesia usually suffer no side effects with the memory loss fading after only a few hours. Doctors have no idea the cause of the condition and are baffled by the fact that such a large part of the memory can be affected while the person otherwise seems perfectly normal.

Biffle at Talladega
The Car
3M Window Film
Biffle on Talladega:
"I'm really looking forward to Talladega this weekend. Having a fast car, staying up front and having good pit stops is what it will take to be there at the end and to put yourself in contention for a win. Nobody ever knows what's going to happen at Talladega, we'll have to wait and see."
Puccia on Talladega:
"I feel pretty good about where our superspeedway program is right now. We are taking the same car that we raced in Daytona and qualified third with. Talladega is the fastest track we go to throughout the season. Staying out front and in front of the wrecks, and all the things that could take you out of the race, will be the key to having a good day at Talladega."

The Premiere Website For Police News In Texas

March 24, 2013
So, was Spring Break in Galveston a pleasant time for all those out-of-towners, or was it tragic, uncomforatable, unpleasant, disasterous, costly, or a never-come-back-experience? We will probably never know because not a single agency of the city government has, nor are they likely, to say a word about anything about Spring Break except maybe sales tax collections were up or down.
And how about folks who live in Galveston. Do they have any idea what sort of things happened over Spring Break weekend? They saw thousand more people on the streets, cars on the streets, they heard more sirens going somewhere, and stood in longer lines for most everything. But do they know what their police officers, firefighters and EMS personell did those days? Was there crime in their neighborhoods? Were any of their friends, neighbors or relatives victims of crime? If they were, they are more likely to find out about it through word-of-month than through any media source.
In Corpus Christi, Port Aransas and South Padre Island, police and city officials issued statements to the media regarding their Spring Break experiences, either declaring them better than previous years or not as good as previous years, in terms of number of visitors, hotel occupancy, deaths by drowing, traffic fatalities, traffic citations issued, number of ambulance calls, fire calls, arrests, and all those things Spring Break visitors and local residents expect to read after big events.
But not in Galveston. Not a peep from anyone and actually a direct denial of a requent from The Police News to the Galveston Police Department for a general statement on police activity which would have included reports on arrests, incidents, traffic accidents, citations and other police actions. An email from the departments Public No-Information Officer told us to get it ourselves from the Police-To-Citizen website which has only a small part of the information required for an informative report.
It has become more and more evident over recent months the Galveston city administration's modus operandi is let the public know as little about what is going on in city government as possible. This philosophy appears to have been adopted by the police administration also and is being explained in different ways. Galveston's main news source, the Galveston County Daily News, has been hammering the city administration editorially for weeks for it's illegal closed door meetings and other shenanigans which keep the public from knowing what's really going on.
One explanation we have heard from citizens for "keeing crime quite" has been it is bad for tourism. Tourist won't come to Galveston if they know it is likely they will experience crime in one way or another. Will their cars be burglarized in a hotel parking lot? Many are, but you are not likely to hear about it or read about it. Not in a city where the police chief's family owns a big stretch of beach which thrives on tourist dollars. Will you be assaulted and robbed? It happens, but if it is not uncovered by a reporter, you won't hear about it, because the police department will not announce it to the press for publication, as departments in many other cities do. Police departments in Texas City, Dickinson and Santa Fe, all smaller cities than Galveston in population and number of police officers, issue more press statements to the media regarding crime, than the Galveston Police Department does and those cities are not tourists centers whose populations triple during seasonal events.
When asked why the public in Galveston is not informed about crime and criminal activity, over and over we hear it's because the department is short handed. There are not enough police officers. The Public Information Officer also has other responsibilities besides writing press releases. That may be true, the PIO in Galveston is also in charge of the Records Bureau, the Identification Division and maybe others we may not know about. But being 'In Charge' of those division doesn't mean he or she actually does work in them, it means he/she is responsible for them. Each of them have their own experts who do the work and make them function. We interpret that to mean that public information, informing the public about crime, is less important than supervising records or the fingerprint people and photographers. They know what they're doing.
Short of manpower? I have not known a police department in history who would not say they need more manpower. A highly respected police chief in another city told me once, if a police chief uses that for an excuse, he should be a patrolman whose excuses are not tolerated.
We have heard so much about Community Policing this and Community Policing that, but other than a few neighborhood meetings with 10-15 folks, the police make no exerted effort to inform the public they serve about crime in their neighborhoods. It seems one of the most important missions of any law enforcement agency is to maintain a constant diaglog with the media which enables the police to provide a steady flow of information to it's public on a large scale, rather than just going to cupcake and coffee events then bragging about Community Policing.
Except when there is a murder or other disaster on Galveston Island which attracks Houston and area TV cameras, one is not likely to see a Public Information Officer or Police Chief at a polic scene. Recently when two vehicles collided on the far west end of Galveston Island, initial reports were three persons were ejected from the vehicles, they were critically injured, and an air ambulance may be needed. At the scene we found five Galveston police cars, seven Galveston police officers, two Galveston fire trucks, eight Galveston firefighters, three ambulances and an ambulance supervisor, but no Public Information Officer was there and no Police Chief was there. No one else was authorized to speak with the media about what had happened. That was the job of the Public Information Officer or The Police Chief, neither of whom where there. The PIO was, in fact, in touch with one of those officers at the scene who couldn't talk to the media, but he couldn't tell us anything we couldn't see for ourselves at the scene.
But when a baby kidnapped in Houston was found in a Galveston motel room unharmed, and the Houston TV stations were beating a path to Galveston to video the drama of the discovery, both the Police Chief and the PIO were waiting when they pulled up to the scene. The baby was already in safe hands, the kidnapper had been captured and Houston Police were on their way to Galveston to pick up the bad guy. No lives were in danger, no criminals were loose. But! There was a photo op. If there had been no media at that scene, we may never had heard about it.
So, if you actually think Galveston is an island paradise, where life is peaceful and tranquil, you can leave your front door unlocked when you run to the store, or leave the key in your car to run into a convenience store, or lean you bicycle against a tree while you play in a park, think again.
Someone will burglarize your home whether you leave the front door unlocked or not, they will steal your car even without the key in the ignition, that bicycle will disappear before you can bat your eyes, and you should find a place in a hotel parking lot nearest the front entrance where there is foot traffic and bright lights.
But you'll never read about this in any newspaper or see it on TV because these cases are are undramatic and the tourist addicts and police don't want you to know about it.
That's the way I see you.You may have your say below.Breck Porter
Reports like these are not likely to be seen about Galveston

Aircraft leasing is a practical alternative to purchasing outright and it is a very flexible solution for the lessee when elaborated right.
Leasing an aircraft is an ideal temporarily option to respond to an increase in business, to replace an AOG during heavy maintenance, to test a new charter market or simply wait for the delivery of a new aircraft.
To make it short, during a lease, the owner of the aircraft or lessor, retains the title to the aircraft but transfers the possession to the lessee. The possession; not necessarily the operational control.
There are a vast variety of leases such as: dry leases, ACMI (wet) leases, financial lease to name just a few.
TSH aero has an extensive experience in arranging aircraft leases particularly of European registered aircraft. We specialized in business jet and private jet leases ranging from light jets to heavy jets.

Rifle's Upset Bid Against No. 8 Memphis Falls Short
Oct. 26, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The NC State rifle team shot a season-best 2294 in the smallbore competition, but came up short against the eighth-ranked Memphis Tigers Saturday in the Buell Armory. The Wolfpack fired a team score of 4608, while the Tigers finished with a 4628 score as a team.
"We didn't perform as well as I would have liked for us to today," said head coach Keith Miller. "We struggled in air rifle and came up short in the overall match."
Freshman Lucas Kozeniesky led the Pack in the air rifle compeition, firing the second-highest score in the event with a 587. Daniel Cliff, a sophomore from Fairfax, Va., shot a 577, while seniors Madeline Pike and Amy Roderer each charted score of 575. Sophomore Alex Martin also competed in the competition and tallied a 571. NC State finished the event with a team score of 2314.
The Wolfpack registered a season-high 2294 in smallbore, headlined by Roderer's score of 575 to pace the squad. Her score also served as the second-best score in the competition. Kozeniesky and Martin each shot a 574, while Pike fired a 571. Cliff rounded out the lineup for the Pack with a 567. The team's score in the event bested its previous season-high by nine points (2285).
"Amy [Roderer] was really strong for us today in smallbore and recorded a new personal-best in the event," Miller added. "It was also another good day from Lucas [Kozeniesky] in both events, leading the team in air rifle and firing our second-highest score in smallbore."
With the loss, State fell to 9-4 and 0-3 against Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) opponents. The match against the Wolfpack was the first dual-match for Memphis, as the Tigers moved to 1-0 overall and 1-0 in the GARC.
NC State will next be in action on Saturday, Nov. 9 when it competes in the fifth South Eastern Air Rifle Conference (SEARC) match of the season. The match will be held in Dahlonega, Ga., with the University of North Georgia serving as the host.

Areas of Interest at USC and Marshall:
What Made You Choose to Attend USC Marshall?
I chose USC Marshall because it had everything I was looking for. Being a high school senior who had no clue what I wanted to do was very scary. When applying as an Accounting Major to USC, I had no clue what I was getting into. After learning about all the amazing opportunities that both Marshall and Leventhal have to offer, I knew there was nowhere else I wanted to go. The opportunities to study abroad, the alumni network, and all the professors who were sincerely interested in my well-being were what sold me on USC Marshall.
Advice you wish you had known while applying to college:
When I was applying to college I wish I had known to follow my heart. I applied to way to many schools because people had told me I should. I knew I was never going to leave California, yet still applied to out of state schools. It would have made my life a little less stressful if I would have just listened to the little voice in my head.
USC activities/general hobbies:
On campus I am a USC Spirit Leader. I get to be on the field for all home football games and travel to away games. Not only do we cheer on our football team, but we also support our many other amazing sports teams, from Tennis to Sand Volleyball. I also work as a tutor with Student Athlete Academic Services. As a freshman I was a part of Marshall's Global Leadership Program and traveled to both Shanghai and Beijing. I love to travel and hope to travel more through Marshall. My hobbies include cooking, working out, and hanging out with friends and family.
Why do you love Los Angeles?
I love Los Angeles because it is the perfect distance from home. Rancho Cucamonga is about 50 minutes East of Downtown. Its close enough to where I can go home for my sister's birthday or my brothers championship game, but far enough to keep my dad from deciding to "just stop by". Los Angeles has so much to offer and as I spend more time downtown, the more I never want to go home! I couldn't have picked a better place to live.
Share a definitive freshman moment at USC:
One of my most rewarding freshman moments was hosting high school seniors through the Explore USC program. I had the opportunity to host students and talk to them about how awesome USC is and help them make one of the biggest decisions, which college to go to. A year before, I had been in their shoes, making that decision, and I wouldn't have been able to make it without the help of my Explore USC host.
Favorite USC Marshall class:
My favorite Marshall class was my first accounting class, Financial Accounting, with Ruben Davila. He was a great professor and knew how to get the students involved with the lecture. His real life experience in the field enhanced what we were learning from the book and helped put meaning behind the concepts.
