The R5 category consists of group A vehicles derived from a production model, of which at least 25,000 must have been produced. Launched for 2013 by the FIA, among its objectives is a noticeable reduction in costs, including operating expenditure. Therefore, the technical regulations will adopt the major assets of the S2000 category: four-wheel drive, five-speed sequential gearbox, no central differential and long travel suspension. This is also the case externally with widened tracks, a spoiler, the increase in the wheel arches to fit 18″ wheels without forgetting the minimum weight set at 1200kg for the gravel (loose-surface) and asphalt (tarmac) version, as for the WRC.
Based on an optimisation of costs", explains Bertrand Vallat, "the regulations impose, among other things, a maximum price for certain parts and technical limitations such as a minimum weight of components of the chassis and engine. In addition, a certain number of components of the vehicle must be similar. The hub carrier is a perfect example. All four must be identical. This makes operation considerably easier and limits costs and stocking." Another major difference: the engine, the 2.0-litre naturally aspirated unit is replaced by the 1.6-litre turbo. The Peugeot 208 R5 will adopt the EP6 CDT as standard. "We are aiming for justin bieber videos became number one on the U. performance which is slightly higher than that of the S2000″, emphasises Bertrand Vallat.
"We start with the 1.6-litre THP engine that is already a competition winner. We know that it is both reliable and powerful, and can achieve 280bhp. We have serious foundations with this engine as it is the same as that of the RCZ Racing Cup which currently develops 260 horsepower in its endurance version. We are also aiming for a very high level of durability and reliability in competition with a potential 5000 kilometres (according to the components and conditions), which will also reduce the operating costs." Finally, the FIA has also set the maximum price for the "R5s" at €180,000 excluding taxes.
The Peugeot 208 R5 benefits from the product developments of the 208 production car, particularly in regards to the weight. The shell of the 208 has benefited from a weight reduction of approximately 40 kilos compared with its predecessor the 207. Its dimensions are an advantage for the Type R5 with its long wheelbase which provides excellent chassis stability. Also, being more compact, the 208 will be more agile and efficient as a result, key factors that are sought after in a competition car. All of these dynamic qualities of the 208 combine to give the R5 excellent road holding."

RollerCoaster Tycoon World announced, nostalgic kick happens in 2015
Atari Interactive has announced that RollerCoaster Tycoon is making a comeback next year, in the form of RollerCoaster Tycoon World. RollerCoaster Tycoon World is coming to the PC, and it should include all of the same mechanics that made the original game a massive hit with gamers.
Players will have the ability to share blueprints of their setups that they've created, where they can then visit other players' theme parks to check them out. Fred Chesnais, the CEO of Atari, said: "Many of the new features in RollerCoaster Tycoon World were not possible a few years ago, but we have taken advantage of technological improvements to offer a wildly fun gaming experience that stays true to the storied franchise. This is the game fans have been asking for".
Pipeworks is the company developing RollerCoaster Tycoon World, with previous games in their history being the World Series of Poker: Full House Pro and the Deadliest Warrior franchise. Expect RollerCoaster Tycoon World sometime early next year.

Activision has the 'freedom to fail' with 3-year cycle on Call of Duty
During an interview with Joystiq at Gamescom, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said that the three-year cycle that the Call of Duty franchise finds itself in, is something its audience is used to. But even though we see a game released every year, we have three studios working on the franchise at all times.
Hirshberg explained: "That extra year of development time, particularly with the new consoles and the more powerful hardware, has really paid off thus far to iterate, innovate and try new things. To find out which things didn't work and have the freedom to fail in the creative process, so what goes on the disc is the best ideas".
It's interesting to see that the company knows it has the ability to fail, with Hirshberg continuing: "The thing that the three-year development cycle allows is these games have gotten so ambitious, we're packing so many different modes of play onto the disc. The things that started off as flyers, like zombies or co-op became their own whole games". Hirshberg says that even though the franchise is annualized, the structure it has for Call of Duty sees that the quality of the series is sustainable. He finished off by saying "Activision has a narrative that doesn't match the reality, which is quite potent".
Nintendo has sold over 1 million copies of Mario Kart 8 in the US
It looks like Mario Kart 8 is selling quite well, with over one million copies sold in the US alone. This makes it the second title on the Wii U to sell over one million copies in the US, with the other game being New Super Mario Bros. Wii U.
Nintendo has said: "Mario Kart 8 continues to drive momentum for the Wii U platform", also claiming that hardware sales have increased by "nearly" 60% in the first seven months of this year, versus the same seven-month period of 2013.
NBA 2K15 on PC will have 'even more graphical fidelity' than consoles
When NBA 2K15 is released in October, PC gamers will reportedly get the best version of the game. Visual Concepts, the developer behind the game, is working together with 2K Sports on a fully next-gen basketball game that will see the PC lead when it comes to visuals.
2K Sports has said: "The complete NBA 2K15 experience found on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles will also appear - fully realized - on the PC platform. Gamers will be able to experience the full breadth of new modes and features found on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with even more graphical fidelity".
This is a big change compared to NBA 2K14 from October last year, which was released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. A month later, it launched on the PS4 and Xbox One with better graphics and new modes, but the PC version was left on its own, as a last-generation effort. This time around, the PC version will be the stand out version.
NBA 2K15 will reach the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC on October 7.
NVIDIA supercharges Metro Redux with GPU-accelerated PhysX effects
In just a couple of months time, 4A Games will launch its Metro Redux, which sees remastered versions of two of the most popular first-person shooters of the last few years: Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light.
NVIDIA is backing this new remastered copy, so on top of the enhanced graphics, countless changes within the game, we can expect GPU-accelerated PhysX effects thanks to NVIDIA's technology. 4A Games have painstakingly changed so much of the two games, with improved geometry, encounters, lighting, and even how levels themselves end and transition.
The biggest change is going to come from Metro 2033, which will receive a graphics engine overhaul, with PnP tessellation, and some gameplay refinements that were found in Metro: Last Light. The PC side of things will see "higher-resolution textures, higher-quality effects, greater levels of PnP tessellation, support for 4K resolutions, and most significantly, re-tooled NVIDIA GPU-accelerated PhysX effects built using PhysX 3.x, the latest version of the critically acclaimed physics software".
Metro Redux launches later this month on August 26 in the US, and August 29 in Europe.

New Silent Hill game announced, will make you 's**t your pants'
Gamescom has been filled with some big announcements, with the creator of Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima announcing that Metal Gear Solid V will be coming to the PC. Well, he also unveiled the new Silent Hills game, too.
Silent Hills is an interactive horror game that Kojima, Sony and Konami have been working with Guillermo Del Toro, who directed movies like Hellboy and the recent Pacific Rim. Joining them is Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl on AMC's The Walking Dead. Kojima has promised that the new Silent Hills will be so scary that it will make gamers "s**t their pants". Kojima wants to create a game so scary that you'll want to turn your machine off to stop it from scaring you.
At Gamescom, Kojima said: "That's why there's a limit on how scary you can make a game, but in this case we're ignoring that. If you don't want to keep playing through the game, so be it we don't care. That's the game we're aiming for. We're aiming for a game that will make you shit your pants". We don't know what platforms Silent Hills will be hitting, but we can almost guarantee that the PlayStation 4 will be one of them.
Unreal Tournament 2014 released, for free, in its pre-alpha form
When the new Unreal Tournament was announced, people were excited - finally, an arena shooter for the PC, and PC only. Well, 'raxxy' on the Unreal Forums has compiled Epic Games' builds of the new Unreal Tournament, and has just unleashed the pre-alpha version of the game, which is available right now.
Everything is in very early, very unfinished form - with maps being untextured, weapons completely unbalanced, and things are only going to change very quickly from here. The pre-alpha of Unreal Tournament 2014 is constantly updated, so you'll need to manually download it when it's updated. If you want to download it, hit this link.
Metal Gear Solid V will be coming to the PC through Steam
I'm sure that when you woke up this morning you didn't expect to read this news, but here we go: Metal Gear Solid V has been announced for the PC! MGS Director, Hideo Kojima, officially announced the news at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
The PC releases of Metal Gear Solid V include both stories, with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Both of these titles are now on Steam, and both games are powered by the Fox Engine. As a PlayStation exclusive, this is an interesting announcement for the world of PC gamers. Now let's just hope the controls on PC are worked on, with precision, and it's not just a sloppy port.

Name of Company:
Betsey Johnson- design intern
Duration of internship:
4-6 months
Did you do this internship within the last two years?
New York, NY
What kind of internship was this?
Unpaid, School credit
Number of days worked per week & Number of hours worked per week:
9-10 hours per day, 1-2 days per week
How did you find this internship?
What kind of work did you do and how relevant were your projects?
I ran around the city dropping off and picking up items like samples and patterns. I did nothing design-related at all. I basically worked as a free assistant to every branch of the company. I got coffee and lunch for employees. I ran personal errands for employees. I organized the offices, filed, and made lots of copies on the machine. I learned nothing about the industry and if I wasn't running around the city doing errands that an assistant is PAID to do, I was sitting in a room twiddling my thumbs together until the receptionist would call for an intern over the loud speaker for another mindless task. Nothing I did was personalized work for me, the company just needs any old intern to do the tasks they don't feel like doing because they refuse to actually hire PAID assistants when they can get it for free from helpless interns.
Number of interns you worked with on a daily basis:
Describe the dress code:
Anything goes. Professional attire was not necessary
Rate the level of professionalism in the office:
Please rate your internship from 1-10:
Additional comments:
I would never recommend this internship to anyone. The days drag on forever and you will learn nothing.

A Dorchester woman is accused of feigning illnesses to bum free ambulance rides around the Lowcountry on the state's dime, authorities said.
Dorchester County sheriff's deputies have charged Audrey Ferguson, 51, of Rosa Lane with misuse of 911 and giving a false report, arrest affidavits state.
When Ferguson called paramedics complaining of a cough April 2, she didn't know she was the subject of an ongoing investigation stemming from similar calls that she'd placed in the past, deputies said.
Sheriff's Office records indicate emergency workers were called to Ferguson's home about 100 times between January 2005 and this week. The overwhelming majority of those calls were for health-related complaints, records show.
On numerous occasions, Ferguson called paramedics giving a just vague description of what were likely feigned symptoms, Emergency Medical Services director Doug Warren said. And every time, an ambulance was rushed to her home to transport her to a local hospital.
"You have to remember that probably less than 10 percent of the calls we get are actually life-threatening emergencies," Warren said. "But this particular woman clearly was using us to get transported, and the state was paying for it."
Each trip cost $425 plus an additional $7 per mile, Warren said. That money didn't come out of Ferguson's pocket, he said. Medicaid and taxpayers were left footing the bill.
In March, Warren notified deputies of the potential misuse.
Deputies asked dispatchers to send an alert the next time an ambulance was called to Ferguson's home. That call came April 2, deputies said.
Deputies watched from a distance as paramedics pulled into Trident Medical Center about 10 p.m., an incident report states.
Ferguson waited for paramedics to walk away before asking a nurse if she could call her son, deputies said. During the call, Ferguson told the North Charleston man that she made it to the hospital and needed him to pick her up.
She then hung up the phone, and told a nurse that she was fine after all and didn't need treatment, the report said.
Deputies followed Ferguson to the hospital's exit and placed her under arrest, according to the report.
Ferguson made several unsolicited comments on the ride to the jail, deputies said, including a statement that she didn't have a car and calling paramedics was the only way she had to get around.
Medicaid paid for it anyway, she told deputies, and that it was a part of her benefits.
Ferguson said that she had been getting around this way for a long time, and she questioned why deputies were only arresting her now, according to the report. She worried about whether the arrest would cause Medicaid to cut her off, deputies said.
Ferguson was held at the Dorchester County jail in lieu of $2,450 bail, court records show.

The SIPP provides a large, nationally representative sample that allows linking income recipiency, labor force participation, and participation in government assistance programs with indicators of child well-being.
The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), collected in the Fall of 1994, provides analysis of child well-being in four areas:
|Early childhood experiences
- ever in child care arrangement
- age at first child care arrangement
- hours in first child care arrangement
|Parent - child interaction
- any TV rules
- parent reads to child (0-5)
- outings with child
|School-age enrichment activities
- participation in sports
- membership in clubs
- takes lessons
|Children's academic experience
- ever changed schools
- ever repeated a grade
- "on-track" academically
The Survey: The SIPP provides the baseline for a longitudinal analysis of the changes in children's well-being with respect to the Welfare Reform and Work Responsibility Act of 1996, since households from the Fall 1994 SIPP are followed in the Survey of Program Dynamics (SPD).
Tabulations represent percentages of valid cases.

48 California parks, including SoCal's Will Rogers, Topanga Canyon, and Mt. San Jacincto state parks are slated to fully or partially close to balance the 2008-09 budget…. the LA Times travel writer, Mary Forgione, asks if this is an Idle threat or serious concern. You decide.
I noticed that Morro Bay's Montaa de Oro State Park, with its fantastic sand dunes overlooking the Pacific, is on the list of potential closures. It's bad timing for my family, because my Mom just took the plunge and moved to Morro Bay from New Jersey this week. Welcome to California, Mom! Honestly, as the world's fifth-largest economy, we really just don't have the money to keep the parks open.
Here is the list of proposed park closures.

Publisher's Description
The Gold Medallion Award-winning Expositors Bible Commentary is a major contribution to the study and understanding of the Scriptures. Providing pastors and Bible students with a comprehensive and scholarly tool for the exposition of the Scriptures and the teaching and proclamation of their message, this twelve-volume reference work has become a staple of seminary and college libraries and pastors studies worldwide. The seventy-eight contributors come from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand, and from many denominations, including Anglican, Baptist, Brethren, Methodist, Nazarene, Presbyterian, and Reformed. They represent the best in evangelical scholarship committed to the divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness, and full authority of the Bible. The Expositors Bible Commentary uses the New International Version for its English text, but also refers freely to other translations and to the original languages. Each book of the Bible has, in addition to its exposition, an introduction, outline, and bibliography. Notes on textual questions and special problems are correlated with the expository units; transliteration and translation of Semitic and Greek words make the more technical notes accessible to readers unacquainted with the biblical languages. In matters where marked differences of opinion exist, commentators, while stating their own convictions, deal fairly and irenically with opposing views.

This is the best scalloped potato recipe that we have ever tried! I didn't change a thing!
LOVED this! I have picky eaters and it was wiped out clean! I added in cubed ham so I could make it into a main dish. Served with bread and salad - was delicious!
These are by far the best scalloped potatoes I have ever had. A little twist is we added some real bacon bits to it.

American Wife Reunites With Deported Husband In Mexico
American citizen Lace Rodriguez looks back into Mexico while walking... News PhotoAdult,Geographical Border,Horizontal,Human Interest,Husband,Looking,Men,Mexico,People,Social Issues,USA,Visit,WalkingPhotographer John MooreCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesNOGALES, MEXICO - MARCH 10: American citizen Lace Rodriguez looks back into Mexico while walking to the U.S. border after visiting her husband Javier Guerrero on March 10, 2013 in Nogales, Mexico. The family lived together in Phoenix before Guerrero, an undocumented worker from Mexico, said he was detained by the U.S. Border Patrol after being stopped for speeding and drug possession, held for three months by ICE and then deported March 4 to Nogales, Mexico. Guerrero had lived in the United States for 17 years. He and Rodriguez, a medical student, have two children, and she is nine-months pregnant with a third. The splitting up of families has become a major issue as the U.S. works towards immigration reform. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)

In rock - he was the first to bring the drums forward as more than just time keeping, in fact he brought them forward as more than just another instrument... at times he made them centre stage ... with or without antics...
When he was on it, he lost himself in his drumming... instinct overtook everything and his feelings/emotions spoke (or shouted) through the skins....
Sure he made faces, he did sometimes blow up his drum kit as a finale, or just smash it alongside Pete destroying the odd guitar or amp... He became famous for his off-stage antics, facts and rumours blended into myth and legend - and he became a celebrity. This stuff along with the energy, anger, newness and unapologetic arrogance of their music, succeeded in helping to get (and keep) The Who famous...
But these things divert attention from the fact that at his best, - he was the best there has ever been.
Watch the 'Live at the Isle of Wight DVD' ... listen to 'Who's Next' ... which are around the time I think he was drumming at his peak.
Accused of being "Sloppy?" ... Maybe.... but if so 'sloppy' in the same way that Hendrix didn't pluck every note bang on the beat, sloppy like Keith Richards is often an 8th or so behind with the dirty sounding Tele ... sloppy in the way Dylan's or Morrisey's poetry snd prose doesn't always meter exactly into the 4/4 of their songs... Any less of a genius because of it? .... NO ..... It's an integral part of the magic...
Moonie's explosive drumming was the powerhouse that drove The Who's music
(You can probably guess I'm a fan ... !) .... But once familiar with The Who's music, you hear how much their infuence flows through so many bands that have followed of almost any genre. I can't think of many - if any - rock drummers that have followed, who have none of Keith's influence in their playing. - After all - he did it first...
As a note, he also said he thought drum solo's pointless and boring.....
As for things like the 'goldfish' solo, - it was done in latter years when Keith's constant daily consumption of brandy, champagne and all kinds of illicit substances had reached such levels to leave him slow, slurry and unable to connect with his talent within. He may have been sitting on the drum stool, but he was so stoned that to all intents and purposes he wasn't really even there. Don't judge him on that performance, listen to and watch some of his earlier work.
The only drummer I have heard that can possibly equal Keith back in his heyday .... is Zak Starkey.
Any comments anyone?!!
I agree with you 150% .......except Zak Starkey is the closest one to be in The Who, but he still plays the traditional perfect snare beats which annoys me :)
In fact I just saw The Who Live in Boston (1982), Kenny Jones seems so sloppy and I was expecting him to do the rolls that Keith did during the songs especially "My Generation" and he just plays simply!!! Eminence Front drum playing is no Keith Moon Play!!!! Its just steady beats which anyone can play easily, I think.
For a brief moment it seemed that rock n roll would inherit the earth!

Ebert recants his review of "Waiting for Superman."
Who doesn't like Roger Ebert?
First of all, he's a local Chicago guy. I once took a class of his at the University of Chicago extension on silent movies.
He almost made it interesting.
In my book, his advocacy of small films, indie films, off-beat films and progressive politics places him along side legendary Chicago journalists such as Mike Royko and Studs Terkel (he was friends with both when they were alive).
His approach to his battles with illness is inspiring
So it was greatly disappointing when Ebert seemed to buy into the Waiting for Superman bullshit and gave it a thumbs up review when it was first released.
But he's recanted.
Tweeting today, Ebert said, "Why maybe "Waiting for Superman" wasn't all that it seemed. If I'd known, my review would have been different."
He then links to the Valerie Strauss article in the Washington Post.
Good going, Roger.

So a reasonably written opinion you happen to disagree with makes Steve an Anti-union yahoo? How? Guggenhiem was a genius when he made Al Gore look good and suddenly he's Satan because he calls out the teachers unions. And Siskel was way better than Ebert ever was.
Not Yours permalinkJanuary 19, 2012 1:04 pm
Interesting. Steve comments that Ebert changed his story – "recanted" in your terms – and contends that he's pandering to the teachers' unions. Steve comments that he's got relatives who were teachers, who would ostensibly know what the unions stand up for to back his statements, and you then say he's anti-teacher. Don't see that at all – anti-union perhaps. Anti-teacher not at all.
February 5, 2012 10:49 pm
Just to be fair Fred, you didn't make a case for your comments either. If I haven't read Steve comment I wouldn't have known what the movie is about. With that said, I don't think this is an issue that Ebert want to live or die by. Although he is ultra liberal and always have been no one is a hundred per cent of anything at all times.
I've lived in Chicago, attended their school system during my formative years and the one thing I could depend on is the teachers strike right before school year began. Whether or not it's the union or the board of education fault I do not know but what I do know is that the quality of the education I received was poor at best. When I transferred to a school in Arkansas I struggled to keep up. Had I not left when I did I doubt that I would have survived.
Everyone knows that the public schools are graduating children who can't read or write well, not to mention the ability to think logically enough to do math especially those from the black and Hispanic communities. What other industry can put out a defective product like the public school system and continue to get pay raises without going out of business? None!
So, Mr. Ebert doesn't have to fight this battle that is blatantly obvious for anyone to see.
And, besides with his illness I'm amazed that he has the strength to get up each morning let alone continue to write reviews for movies. But God has blessed him with a good wife.

Yesterday, I wrote about the Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to withdraw its grants from Planned Parenthood. I said, "The left immediately went into spin mode, claiming the funds were used for breast screenings and without Komen's grants, women's health would be jeopardized." Initially, the reasoning given was that the abortion provider was under congressional investigation. Later, the Foundation changed its explanation to indicate that the reason Planned Parenthood would no longer receive funding was because it does not provide mammograms to its patients. For the third time in two days, Komen has again changed its story, this time apparently caving to the rabidly pro-choice lobby. This morning, Komen released a statement:
We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.
A look through social media mentions of the breast cancer organization indicate they have achieved the next-to-impossible: They have angered almost every single American. Pro-choice and pro-life Americans feel betrayed and jerked around, moderates in the abortion debate are tired of seeing and hearing their friends on both sides of the debate battle it out. The abortion question is the most contentious of all public policy, and Komen has not only reignited the debate but it has also placed itself in the firing line of both sides.
Unfortunately for those on the pro-life side, there is no choice when it comes to funding Planned Parenthood. While they can choose not to give to Komen or any other charity that gives grants to Planned Parenthood, we are all obligated to pay taxes. Forty-six percent of Planned Parenthood's funding comes from government health and services reimbursements. That money comes from the forty-nine percent of Americans who are pro-life as well as the 45 percent of Americans who identify as pro-choice.
As if the country wasn't fractured enough, we may have just seen the opening battle in the Abortion War of 2012. Just in time for election season.

The Department of Defense today released a study and forecast of international
trade in conventional arms over the rest of the decade. The Department
undertook the study to assess market participation by U. S. producers and
consider possible industrial and economic implications for national security
and arms export policies.
"This is the first such forecast of its kind ever made by the Department of
Defense. The health of our industrial base continues to be important for our
nation's security. This study provides a baseline against which we can measure
propspects and policies," said Joshua Gotbaum, Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Economic Security.
Annual world-wide international arms deliveries declined sharply over the
1983-93 period, from about $65 billion to about $20 billion, a 69 percent
reduction. The decline in world-wide deliveries is due largely to reductions
in activity by the former Soviet Union, but is also attributable to reductions
in overall demand. Over the same period, annual U. S. deliveries in
international arms markets declined about 15 percent from approximately $13
billion to roughly $11 billion (constant 1991 dollars). U. S. deliveries are
expected to increase somewhat above this level through the remainder of the
decade. The unusually high 1991 and 1993 sales agreements are important
contributors to this increase.
As a result, the overall market share held by U. S. producers is now 53
percent, and may increase to as much as 59 percent over the forecast period.
The continued strong demand for U. S. products within this smaller market is
attributable to the performance of U. S. military systems in actual use, to the
desire of other nations for interoperability with U. S. forces, and to the
quality of research and development and follow-on support by U. S. firms.
U. S. government decisions concerning the export of conventional arms continue
to be made on the basis of national security and foreign policy concerns. The
report concludes that while changes in the level of support that the U. S.
government provides to arms exporters might have an impact on some
transactions, it would only have a limited effect upon overall market shares.
However, exports may help the armed services to maintain particular industrial
competencies at reduced costs. Producers of tanks and helicopters, for
example, have relied significantly on foreign sales to maintain certain
production lines and to cover overhead costs that otherwise would have been
paid by DoD and the taxpayers.
NOTE: Reporters may obtain copies of the study from the Directorate for
Defense Information, Room 2E765, the Pentagon, or by calling (703) 695-0192.
Others requesting copies should call (703) 697-5737.

Central Park: Looking backward, looking forward
At the beginning of each year, I have big fun looking at the year that has just passed to take stock of how the folks of Durham have used Durham Central Park as their "backyard" to host parties, events and just hang out.
Here's a general list of what you might have experienced at DCP in 2012:
-- Two church services
-- Five food truck rodeos
-- Six movies (Full Frame, Durham Cinematheque & Rock the Park)
-- 16 musical concerts ( eight Music in the Park events, five Warehouse Blues concerts, three benefit concerts)
-- The Leaf dedication
-- Three corporate employee and customer events
-- One chili challenge
-- One Independence Day parade
-- Four dance events (including a Zumbathon and a square dance)
-- One pig picking
-- One Easter Egg Hunt
-- One Earth Day celebration
-- One scavenger hunt
-- Two YMCA Family Nights and one YMCA Trunk or Treat
-- Two weddings
-- One seafood festival
-- Five political gatherings
- Three prayer vigils
-- Random yoga, tai chi and aerobics classes
-- Two school celebrations
-- Three fundraiser runs through the park
-- Two bike rides through the park
-- Countless YMCA after school events and summer camp activities
-- 52 Durham Farmer's Market Saturdays and many Wednesday markets
-- 20+ Durham Craft Market artists each Saturday
AND over 4000 volunteer hours logged throughout the year by Durhamites who love Durham Central Park!!!
And these are just the events that have been scheduled at the park. This list doesn't include the hundreds of heartfelt conversations taking place throughout the park each week by park visitors sitting on the benches, the lawn, in the gardens or walking along the pathways…or the thousands of skateboard rides at all hours of the day that happen in the rain and shine.
The vision of the wise folks who dreamed up Durham Central Park more than 15 years ago was to have a green space where the community could gather for all kinds of events and reasons. They imagined this five-acre spot in downtown Durham would become Durham's "big backyard"….and it has!
Durham, come join in the fun at Durham Central Park in 2013! Stay tuned to our website www.DurhamCentralPark.org to keep up with events and news of what is happening at the park.
Ann Alexander is executive director of DCP Inc.
Durham Central Park, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that manages and maintains the five acre green space in Durham at 501 Foster Street. DCP's sole mission is to create and sustain a unique urban park to engage the Durham community. For rental or event information, visit our website at www.DurhamCentralPark.org

My DH wasn't so sure about us getting pregnant again. Here we are though , 28 weeks, with a boy on the way[:)]. I'm starting to think my body is just not meant to go through pregnancies. I was sick for so long after Rylee (6 months). We both knew we wanted to have 2, but I know deep down my DH and my mom would have such a hard time watching me go through it again. I think if I was in their shoes it would be pretty hard to bear also. I know we suffer the most but our family suffers as well.
Everyone is real excited about the new baby, especially big sis ( she just turned 3)
Anyway I think you know your body best. I personally am done after 2 but we only wanted 2 in the first place. Girl & Boy![:D]
Good Luck to you all!

Destiny – a state or end that seemingly has been decided beforehand.
The word destiny comes from the feminine Anglo-French version of the word destine' meaning doom or preordain. But here at the Women's Fund we know that destiny is not by chance but by the choices that are made. That's because every day, we see firsthand examples of how the social change programs we fund create opportunities for women and girls to determine their own destiny.
You have wisely chosen to invest in us. Through your donations, we have been able to provide financial support to organizations throughout our community with a singular focus – giving women and girls the skills to direct their own destiny.
We have followed this path for twenty-five years – a major accomplishment in itself. Through our grant making efforts, particularly the social change grants program, we have seen new women leaders: emerge in local politics, lead the economic justice movement, address racial disparities, and work to reduce the high infant mortality rate. Our capacity building programs include our Social Change Exchange – a forum that provides the knowledge women need to impact social change. Our Her Scholarship program provides financial support to low income women over 35 who want to return to school. Girls Leading Change is a new program that is engaging teenage girls of color in leadership roles in the philanthropy community – thus insuring that a new generation of donors is being developed in new ways that allows them to direct their own destiny.
Donate to the Women's Fund to honor a woman or girl in your life.
Donate to the Women's Fund in celebration of our 25th Anniversary.
Donate to the Women's Fund because you can.
When destiny calls, answer back – not by accepting the call as though there is nothing that can be done about it – but by deciding you want to give women and girls a chance to control it.
It's choice, not chance, that determines our destinies.
Thank you for making a choice to support the Women's Fund.

sugar & olives
Sugar & Olives is in its third year of serving 'farm to family' style, and its tucked away location draws a steady and curious crowd.
The converted factory space sits on a side street in Norwalk, Connecticut, and without a sign or any evidence that it's a restaurant, it has become a local favorite for private dining, cooking classes and a swanky spot to sit, eat and enjoy some tasty food.
Want to know where your food is from? Just ask and they'll tell you—or look it up on the iPad menu. Each guest gets one so they can choose their meal, and search for more information as they wish.
Vegetables, fruit, poultry, shellfish, dairy and eggs are gathered from farms within CT, while grains and other items are sourced regionally from the Hudson Valley to Vermont. Sweet and savory as the name Sugar & Olives implies, with a focus on flavor and simplicity, allowing each item to shine.
The sustainable build-out and best practices of this small shop has earned it three stars with the Green Restaurant Association. The efforts to keep a tiny footprint include waste reduction, pre- and post-consumer composting, recycling, a water filtration system with zero plastic water bottles on the premises, and a rain barrel to boot.
Special thanks to jennifer and cristina, store manager west hollywood, for the inside scoop!
september 2011
In the ten years since September 11th, the towers that fell have became a symbol of strength, and remembrance.
So it's no surprise that the tons of steel salvaged from Ground Zero are being re-used for these same inspirational ends.
In 2009 for example, 7.5 tons went into building the mighty USS New York.
And since 2001, the Port Authority of NY stored and allocated the balance—approximately 1200 pieces—to various locations across the nation to help create some 225 memorials.
To see a few, visit inhabit NYC—devoted to green living and forward-thinking urban designs, planning and environmental policy.

Delivery Tip - Revisited
Awhile back, there was a thread about how much to tip for home delivery. There were a wide variety of opinions, but I came away thinking 10% - 15% would be fair.
Suppose a restaurant charges a fee for delivery (e.g., last night I was charged a $2 delivery fee)...does the driver get that? If so, can I deduct $2 from the 10% - 15% delivery tip?
Thanks for your advice.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Adrian Grenier's character Vince is going to have an interesting new romance on the next season of Entourage with notoriously sexy porn star Sasha Grey. The adult-film actress meets Grenier's Vince Chase in a bar in the fifth episode and sticks around for the rest of next season. "You can't believe she's a porn star when you meet her," Grenier told TV Guide while the show's creator Doug Ellin said, "I wouldn't have done this storyline if Sasha passed." We bet Drama's going to be hella jealous of his baby bro!
This is Grey's second mainstream venture; she starred in Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience" last year. He also said that the entire story was inspired by Charlie Sheen's affair with former porn star Ginger Lynn in the late 1990's. Wow. You heard correctly… Charlie Sheen was inspiration to someone.

Earthquakes, rugby influence regional tourism statistics
New Regional Tourism Estimates show strong regional patterns in tourism spending in 2011, a year heavily influenced by the Rugby World Cup and the Canterbury earthquakes.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's latest Regional Tourism Estimates, released today, show international and domestic travellers spent $15.1 billion in 2011, up five percent from 2010.
The regions with the highest increase in tourism expenditure were Dunedin and Timaru, up 11 percent, Auckland and Waitaki, up 10 percent, and Waikato, up by nine percent.
Tourism Research and Evaluation Manager Peter Ellis says the Christchurch earthquake had a big impact on regional differences within tourism during 2011.
"Tourism spending in Christchurch dropped by ten percent to $1.8 billion, led by a 22 percent fall in international visitor nights.
"But nearby regions like Timaru, Dunedin and Waitaki saw increases in tourism spending, a likely result of more domestic flows from Christchurch following the February earthquake.
"Auckland's good year for tourism was largely a result of the Rugby World Cup."
Key statistics in the Regional Tourism Estimates include:
- There were a 105.1 million international and domestic visitor nights in 2011, up three percent from 2010. Auckland had 24.9 million visitor nights, up six percent; Christchurch 12.1 million visitor nights, down seven percent; and Wellington had 7.3 million visitor nights, up seven percent.
- International and domestic travellers spent $15.1 billion in 2011, up five percent from 2010. Visitors to Auckland spent $4.7 billion, up 10 percent; visitors spent $1.8 billion in Canterbury, down 10 percent; and visitors to Wellington spent $1.4 billion, up eight percent.
The Regional Tourism Estimates are a yearly analysis of the Ministry's domestic and international tourism research and are the best available estimate of regional differences in tourism trends. They do not capture all tourism expenditure, as they exclude international airfares, outbound travel purchases from New Zealand firms, some purchases of tourism-specific goods, and imputed rental on holiday homes. The definitive estimate of tourism's contribution to the economy is published separately in the Ministry's Tourism Satellite Account, due to be published in October.
The 2011 Regional Tourism Estimates are available from the Tourism research and data section of our website.

NEW YORK (AVAFIN) -- A total of 12 block trades were executed today, typically at least 10,000
shares or more represent a single block unit. Block trades help investors understand the
sentiment of large financial institutions. Further trading analysis reveals that
330,271 shares were bought and 144,689 shares were sold.
The bought/sold ratio for shares of The Dow Chemical Company is 2.28, representing a

the stock.
A closer look at option trading reveals that a total of 13,099 call and 3,561 put contracts
were traded yielding a 0.27 put/call ratio.
Dow benefits from greater feedstock flexibility than the average basic chemical producer in North America and Europe, giving the company opportunities for added profits in periods of fluctuating input and output prices.
Additionaly, Because a good deal of Dow's recent cost savings come from structural moves such as head count reductions and permanent plant closures, we expect the majority of them will hold.
The Dow Chemical Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of chemicals, plastic materials, agricultural, advanced materials and other products and services. It is also engaged in the property and casualty insurance and reinsurance business. The Dow Chemical Company settled the day up $0.46 to $33.67 in the previous trading session. Today's

Senior Citizens Try to Save Pecan Tree
Munford, Ala – (AP) - A pecan tree next to the Munford City Hall
has been saved from the chain saw by protesting senior citizens who
see the tree as a living reminder of their lives in the small
Alabama town.
The Munford City Council voted Tuesday night to hire a tree
removal service to cut down the tree. City officials say it is
dropping limbs and sap on City Hall and it poses a safety hazard.
Regulars at the senior citizen center directly opposite the tree
decided that was overkill.
They gathered around the tree on Wednesday, carrying signs
saying, "Save Our Tree."
Protester Edna Gallahar called the tree a landmark that had been
there since the senior citizens were children.
Their protest worked. City officials say they will rethink their

Toby Keith is our newest champion on the KICKS 105 Country Clash, this after defeating Wade Bowen's new song in yesterday's Clash. Keith took 55% of the vote in a close race.
Today's contest will feature the new song from Bocephus as our challenger. We all should know by now the controversy that has been surrounding Hank Jr over the past week or so, and his latest song can be taken as a response to it all.
Take a listen to both Clash songs after the jump.
The Obama-Hitler comparison made on 'Fox & Friends' by Hank Williams Jr. a while back forced ESPN to sack the singer's opening theme song from Monday Night Football.
Now, according to sources who spoke with the Associated Press, the 62-year-old has fired back at both ESPN and 'Fox & Friends' in a new song titled 'I'll Keep My …,' which he recorded in a Nashville studio on Friday.
2006 - BNA releases "She Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool: A Tribute To Barbara Mandrell." Contributors include Kenny Chesney, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Willie Nelson, Shelby Lynne, Terri Clark, Lorrie Morgan, Randy Owen, Dierks Bentley and Sara Evans.
While both sides claim they ousted the other, the end result is the same. Hank Williams Jr. will no longer be featured in the iconic opening to ESPN's 'Monday Night Football' following the comments he made Monday morning on 'Fox and Friends.'
It may not do anything to save his long-running gig as the musical kickoff for 'Monday Night Football,' but Hank Williams, Jr. has issued a personal statement in response to the brouhaha that erupted after his recent appearance on 'Fox and Friends.'
Williams, who compared a golf match between President Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner to "Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu," attempted to clarify his remarks through a post on his website.

Slippery Squirrel
How to keep a squirrel from eating the seed that's meant for the birds? Vaseline! If you do this, make sure you have a camera ready, like Robert Krampf did.
For anyone who is concerned about the squirrel, he still raids our other two feeders and the vegetable garden. The tiny amount of Vaseline used is non-toxic, the kind used for lip balm. He quickly learned that this feeder was not worth the trouble, so we have not put more on the pole, and the birds are delighted to actually get some of the bird seed.

Why all the squirrel hate? I'd just feed the squirrel, they're cuter than the birds because they have little hands.

Back in the early 1960s, Mimi's Subway Bar was Elmer's Subway Bar. While some of us were a bit below legal drinking age, Elmer didn't mind so we frequented his place. Over the years the name has changed but little else. It remains a friendly, hometown place. If you need to stretch your dollars, Mimi's is a good place to do it. It's a bar without pretense. Someone described it as Ferguson's "Cheers" and I agree. Mimi's is not easy to find but it's worth the search.
Best Neighborhood Bar (North) St. Louis 2003 - Mimi's Subway Bar and Grill
46 N. Florissant Road
St. Louis, MO 63135
Readers' Choice: Rookies Bar
Mimi's wasn't always Mimi's, but it has been an underground (literally) neighborhood drinking establishment in old Ferguson for nearly 50 years. And it shows. The old linoleum tile floor, the scuffed-up tables, the carved wood bar, the early Reagan-era Atari-like Galaxian console game and a few long-in-the-tooth patrons make you feel as if you've slipped into a time when, well, a time when north county was still crawling with blue-collar stiffs who worked hard for Mr. Mac or Mr. Ford and knocked back a couple brews before heading home. The jukebox, appropriately, features the likes of Sammy Hagar, Metallica and Aerosmith, but there's a nod to classic crooners such as Sinatra and Martin. On a recent Tuesday at around 9 p.m., the place hosted about three dozen regulars, yukking it up, enjoying their 50-cent draft Buds (Tuesdays and Thursdays only). While Mimi's has a full bar, based on the ornate signage (including the rotating Clydesdale-wagon-light fixture that you'd love to have in your basement), this is definitely Anheuser-Busch Country. Mimi's offers pinball, darts, Keno, a couple of pool tables and, occasionally, live music. And we like the fact you have to climb up the stairs to get out -- it's harder to fall up than down.

If you are looking for a cheap, easy going place with cold beer, this is a good choice. Sometimes wait is long. Food is mostly fried and all served on paper plates etc. overall good value and better than fast food.

Best hot dogs in town
Posted by Whadley on 01/25/2011
We're local and have been going to Dune Dog for some time now. If you love baby back ribs, this is the place to be on Monday evenings. I've eaten a lot of ribs at a lot of restaurants, but these are the best. The value is incomparable with All You Can Eat for about $14.00 and they just keep bringing them. Not the fanciest place in town, but #1 in the rib department. We also have always found the wait staff quite attentive.

my family and i went on a saturday afternoon. the line was out the door. when we finally sat, we were met by a very upbeat waitress who immediatly took our drink order, after we placed our food order it took a little longer than expected for it to arrive, but the restaurant was slammed so the wait was expected. overall the food was really good and did not hurt our wallets, we will definitly be back!

I had read pretty good reviews so I went there. I had a simple burger, which I ordered medium. It arrived VERY well done and I could not get the server to take an interest. She didn't even ask about the food or my experience, or offer me a refill on my drink. She was way too busy standing around texting on her phone. When I asked for a manager I found out she IS the manager. She couldn't have cared less about my complaint. I won't be back!

This place is cheap, fun and easy to go to. But be prepared to wait...and when you wait know that you need to sign in on the clipboard! The food is good and I like that I can order everything separately. The seats are picnic benches and there are no walls...very outdoorsy. The location is pretty icky, but you won't really notice once you sit down and start looking around. The decor is fun and the place is usually hopping. Kids appear to be very welcome. But lots of people are there without them.
