Orders can be shipped across Canada & to the USA. Due to the variety of the products we carry we are not able to provide a pre-determined freight cost at this time. Freight charges are determined on the final weight, size & destination (postal code) of the package.Within Canada
The majority of orders will be shipped by Canada Post & transit times vary depending on your location. Based on Canada Post's website they estimate delivery to be anywhere from 1 – 7 days (not including us completing the order).
If you have the order shipped to a business address (not a house/apartment) & are located in a major city there is a possibility it may be cheaper to ship by courier. If you provide us with the business shipping address/ name we will ship by the least expensive method.
If you have your own courier account number with a specific company & would like to have the order shipped with them please provide those details when placing the order.To the USA
Shipping to the USA is limited to using Canada Post/USPS. Due to the tight FDA regulations with food (high administration cost for paperwork & brokerage) we are not prepared to ship orders by courier. According to Canada Post's website they estimate transit to be a minimum of 4 business days (not including us completing the order). For a more accurate transit time to your state please refer to their website.

Syntrax Fyre Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Syntrax Frye
List Of Ingredients
Syntrax Frye contains eight main ingredients in a proprietary blend: Velvet bean extract (standardized for L-Dopa), Coffee bean extract (standardized for caffeine), Green Leaf Tea Extract (standardized for catechins and EGCG), Coleus Forskohlii (standardized for forskolin), Barberry Bark Extract (standardized for berberine), Ginger root (standardized for gingerols), Bergenia Root Extract (standardized for bergenin), and Yohimbine.
Product Features
Syntrax Frye's proprietary blend prohibits us from being able to see the actual amounts of each ingredient in this formula. Without this information, we cannot really tell how effective the product will be at getting the job done. Velvet bean extract is known to help with dopamine levels in the brain, and also to increase testosterone levels. Coffee bean extract is used to help get rid of free radicals and boost the metabolism, but we cannot tell the kind of coffee bean used. Green Leaf Tea Extract is a well known fat burning ingredient included in many weight loss supplements. Coleus Forskohlii is a herb from the mint family, thought to help with cardiovascular health and lower blood pressure. Barberry Bark Extract is known to help digestive problems, along with help maintaining liver and gallbladder health. Ginger root is related to capsacian, and has shown weight loss in animal studies. The problem is that it needs to be taken in high dosages for humans, and therefore isn't a practical solution. Bergenia Root Extract is. in the formula to help lower bad cholesterol levels. Yohimbine comes from the bark of the Yohimibine tree and has been shown to produce some weight loss.
- The formula contains proven ingredients.
- This product may not be good for women because of the increased potential for heightened testosterone levels.
- While the ingredients are proven, we can't tell if there's enough in the formula to produce a weight loss effect.
- Some online stores have discontinued the product.
- These are common ingredients in many weight loss supplements, so it doesn't offer anything new.
- We were unable to locate an official website for this product.
- There are many negative comments about the company found across the Internet.
There is plenty of reason to be wary of this product. Without knowing exactly how much of a particular ingredient is in the product, we cannot really say how effective it is. We guess by the way people talk of the product, they are using less than effective amounts to make themselves sound good and save money. Instead, we recommend a product supported by clinical research and a money back guarantee.

ya dekken is boring but what about hodi jones
Alright do you guys think luffy and that dude are about to have their first fight?
it would seem so. what type of fishman is that guy again? catfish?
I think hachi wouldn't be luffy's nakama, cuz Luffy always show interest for someone who became his nakama.That's why I think Hyouzou would, cuz Luffy show some interest about him.

The Latest Show Results, plus Monday Morning Mop-Up
In his Monday Morning Mop-Up, Blogger-in-Chief Billy Wheeler gets "Sirius" about a Top Toy that's been owner-handled to four consecutive Best in Show wins. Florida shows have been dominated by a single Pug in recent weeks, although another Toy has been doing likewise in Oklahoma. Meet the King Charles Spaniel that's enjoyed considerable "prosperity" out on the Great Plains.
Best In Show Daily has partnered with British Dog World to deliver news and information to fanciers on both sides of the pond. While social media streams have brought people in the dog sport closer, Internet publications allow owners, breeders and handlers to share their pride and joy with the world while navigating the local, national and international show scene. Please join with us as we expand the online experience of today's ever-evolving "dog world."
Dan Sayers
Editor in Chief
Our Monday Morning Mop Up features one of our most reliable Toy Dogs, the Pug, GCH CH Caper's Sirius Endeavor. Rufus and owner/handler Linda Rowell have been among the Top Ten Toy Dogs for the past two seasons. Rufus and Linda have been in their home state of Florida these past two weekends collecting four straight BIS. more
It's likely that most people who are sentimental about their breeds feel that the gathering of the clan, so to speak, each year at their National Specialty is a unique and special time, which is no doubt true. Many probably also feel that their parent club show itself is so well done and the entry is of such quality that just being there is a rare opportunity to be treasured. That is exactly how I see Poodle Club of America, and the many visitors who come from other breeds – and indeed from all over the world – each year bear out my feelings about PCA. more

I have been and remain a staunch defender of privatization done right, but done poorly it can be a disaster. It looks like we are seeing yet another example of this unfold in Chicago.
You are probably familiar with the now infamous Chicago parking meter lease. But prior to that the city had similarly leased parking garages downtown east of Michigan Ave. This transaction hadn't done anything to raise concerns with me so far. I'm not sure why most city governments would be in the parking garage business in the first place. Put 'em up on eBay I say.
But as it turned out, the city, in order to goose its returns, had promised the vendor who leased the garages a monopoly on parking. Lots of privatization contracts have no-compete clauses in them that prevent the government from operating a competitive facility for the duration of the lease. I'm not sure that's good public policy, but it's not a slam dunk decision either way. But the Chicago garage lease goes far beyond that and promised that the city would not allow anyone to build a garage that was open to the public in the area where the leased garages are. Wow! In effect, the city rezoned the area by contract without telling anybody. (A legit rezoning would have required notifying property owners, etc. as well as getting aldermanic signoff) It looks like the previous administration once again sold off the right to set public policy to a third party – this time for 99 years.
Naturally this has come back to haunt the city. Morgan Stanley, which controls both the meters and the garages, has filed a $200 million arbitration claim against the city. They claim that the city allowed the developer of the Aqua skyscraper to open a parking garage to the public in a restricted area, and this has harmed the value of their lease. If true, this looks like a very straightforward breach of contract.
This new claim comes on top of a $13.5 million claim over the parking meters related to allowances for handicapped parking. That's a particularly dangerous claim because it could be recurring and if annualized and adjusted for inflation would mean that Chicago would end up owing over one billion dollars over the lifetime of that contract!
Rahm must be going crazy over these deals he inherited. This is what happens when you sign deals that don't get subjected to proper public scrutiny. The timing is also less than ideal for Rahm as he tries to get his infrastructure bank proposal approved by a skeptical city council.
The Chicago experience should definitely cause other cities to think hard about privatization. Privatization should be about competition, not contractually enforced monopolies. It should not unduly restrict the ability to change public policy to meet future needs. The term should be strictly limited (50, 75, or 99 years is ridiculous). Deals featuring large up front payments should be avoided where possible, and subjected to strict controls on spending the windfall if not. And the contractual terms need a thorough vetting.

Northeastern Minnesota has a proud tradition of investing in education to prepare children for a successful future. Early immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s sacrificed to invest in education so their children could take advantage of opportunities to make a better life in the 20thCentury.
Building upon the strong foundation of the Applied Learning Institute, 17 school districts, the Northeast Higher Education District and its five community college campuses formed Education Innovation Partners in 2011.

NHED President Sue Collins, in conjunction with MnSCU CIO and Vice Chancellor Ken Niemi, asked Insight Solutions Group, Inc. to conduct a high-level inventory and assessment of the District's information technology (IT) assets. Insight made a number of recommendations including infrastructure centralization, combined purchasing, collaborative support, and standardization of hardware, software, and services.
Jim Dillemuth, System Director of the ITS Portfolio Management Office, was asked to serve as the MnSCU lead because of his prior work and familiarity with the colleges in the District. The district CIOs were then tasked with creating this workplan describing how these recommendations will be delivered, when they will be delivered, and the costs and benefits associated with each recommendation.
The CIOs identified ten recommendations. The workplan is divided into these ten sections, plus a Gantt chart giving a high-level schedule of activities.
The workplan is available below in pdf format.

Is Social Networking a Waste Of Time to Google?

Social Media: a Waste of Time? When you first start using social networking sites, it can seem to get you nowhere. It can feel like a total waste of time that gets little return on investment (oh, that coveted ROI!). I used to think it was useless myself, but I put in the time and it paid off. My small […]

These include what the company calls Dynamic Power Coordination and Enhanced Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing, a new power savings mechanism that enables the Smart Cache Sizing Cache to dynamically flush system memory based on demand, or during periods of inactivity. The idea is to channel power only to those parts of the processor that need it.
Intel claims that laptops utilising the new processor can get five hours of battery life from a standard battery. Another welcome feature is Digital Media Boost, which is claimed to enhance floating point operation.

Loren Cruden, Walking the Maze: The Enduring Presence of the Celtic Spirit (Destiny Books, 1998)
"There is no return to or re-creation of the Celtic past, and, clearly, that is not what is really needed in today's circumstances. But what is powerful and good is still present in the land and our potentials of relationship with it, and in the capacity of consciousness to retrieve or to know what needs to be known." p. 122
Loren Cruden says that the idea for this book came partly out of an experience at a Native American drumming and sweat lodge ceremony at which there were no Native Americans present. She realized that people in America are hungry for authentic spirituality, for a spirituality with roots, and that they will look for it everywhere, even in traditions which are not their own. And she realized that, for Americans with Celtic ancestry, a vital spiritual tradition is waiting to be rediscovered and reclaimed.
Walking the Maze is divided into four parts, entitled "Clan and Culture," "Spirit," "Gender Equality" and "Land and People." In "Clan and Culture," which begins on page four and ends on page seventy-nine, Cruden gives a brief (!) overview of the cultural and political history of the people known as the "Celts," focusing chiefly on the Celtic peoples of Scotland and Ireland. I tend to be wary of writers who summarize long spans of history for large people groups in this way, because it's almost impossible for them to avoid making generalizations which compress complex issues. To Cruden's credit, she summarizes clearly and quotes other historians and scholars liberally. Her bibliography is impressive.
In "Spirit," Cruden goes on to talk specifically about the religious beliefs and practices that arose from the cultural system of the Celts (once again dealing almost exclusively with Scottish Celts). While admitting that there is little hard evidence of druidic practices, since their tradition was largely oral and almost entirely wiped out by invaders, she nevertheless speculates at large about what Celtic spirituality "must have been" like. Once again she refers to other scholars extensively, but I remain wary of generalizations such as, "Along with integration of seen and unseen worlds, and human integration with nature, was integration of intellect with heart, spirit, and body" (p. 109). This may be true, but she makes such statements with little actual supporting documentation or examples. She also makes connections between ancient beliefs and how Celts as people believe today, trying to show a continuity of spiritual traditions, if only at the instinctual level.
"Gender Equality" is a confusing chapter. At certain points, Cruden seems to be trying to say that the Celts were free of the conflict caused by gender-specific roles. Then she offers an example of a story in which women's roles were distinctly different from and inferior to men's and shows the conflict between the characters in that story. Then, further on, she says that, although men's and women's roles were unequal, this didn't trouble them. They valued one another and lived in harmony with one another. The chapter ends without resolving these different conclusions or even acknowledging that they are different.
I wish the final chapter of the book, "Land and People," had come first. It works in an Annie Dillard way. It's a hymn of praise to the land, to a home that is loved in its dirt, its air, its weather and its creatures. Cruden's devotion of the desolate piece of wilderness she homesteads on in Washington state is evident, as is her deep, visceral response to the ground of Scotland; she draws on numerous memories of her visits to her ancestral home (she's of Scottish descent) while writing about the Celtic connection to the physical world. I am convinced that she finds deep spiritual satisfaction in her ties to the natural world.
Yet it's at this same point of connection that I find myself losing my own ability to connect with what Cruden is trying to say throughout Walking the Maze.
"The core perspective of Celtic spirituality," she asserts, "was integration and awareness of seen and unseen worlds. I cringed to hear neopagans say, 'Well, time to go back to the real world', after an outdoor ritual or gathering. Celtic spirituality was not a realm or experience apart from the rest of life, and it was not a pretend realm, but something profoundly ever present and influential... Pagan means 'country dweller'. Paganism arose directly from primal engagement with the land." (p. 108-109)But this raises a troubling question: is authentic spirituality only possible in a non-urban environment? Most people, even in the affluent United States, cannot afford to live that way today. Unlike Cruden, they don't have family who will send them five hundred dollars on occasion so that they can continue to buy supplies while they winter on their piece of isolated, non-arable land in Washington. Making the deliberate choice, as a modern American, to go "back to the land" does not ally one with the ancient Celts, who were not necessarily rural dwellers in order to be more spiritual. They didn't have the luxury of choice. Neither do most people currently have the ability to make numerous trips back to Scotland to reconnect with their roots. What Cruden is doing is carefully orchestrated and contrived in a sense even as she calls for authenticity and integration as necessary for a genuine spirituality.
Overall, reading this book was a bit like continual short-term amnesia. Cruden writes very well. Her sentences flow easily from one to the next. I read along, enjoying the experience of reading her, the feel of the words. But when I turned each page, I'd realize I had no memory of what I had just read. I began using post-its to mark points she'd made that I wanted to comment on while writing my review, simply so that I'd be able to find them later. Nothing I read mattered enough for me to remember or take away with me. I tried to speculate as to why.
In a sense, Cruden is right in saying that spirituality cannot be examined. It must be practiced.
"There is no credentialing for it, yet direct connection uncovers a basis and continual deepening of practice. My spirituality is empirical, not traditional, though it conjuncts with age-old aspects and esoteric knowledge from many cultures. It comes from a resource of consciousness rather than a process of instruction." (p. 118)
So why then is she writing a book about her spirituality? And in an instructive voice? Early on, she gives her own spin on a familiar diatribe:
"Cultivation and exercise of memory languishes around computers. Memorization's disciplines also develop acuity of observation, listening, consideration, and associative linking vital aspects of thinking and relating. Memory is not just an organic storage system harmlessly replaced by a machine's storage system... The degree to which a person is engaged with computers already has been acknowledged as a degree to which that person is lacking or losing social skills and connection to social responsibility." (p. 59)(Anyone reading this sitting in front of a computer monitor, this means you!) If, as Cruden insists, a face-to-face, voice-to-ear exchange is crucial to impart one's spiritual tradition, then that could explain the sense of emptiness in this book. By writing it, she's stepping outside of her own convictions about spiritual traditioning and mentoring. Which leaves the questions I walked away with: why did she take the trouble to write it in the first place? And why should you read it?

JERUSALEM (MarketWatch) -- Rain, a sign of divine favor here since biblical times, arrived this fall in the middle of the Jewish New Year's day, while millions in synagogues the world over greeted each other with the traditional "may one year and its curses end, and another and its blessings begin."
Few could wish that with better reason than Lev Leviev, a tall, soft-spoken and pious diamond-cutter-turned-billionaire. For a good two decades, Leviev personified globalization's promise for the wise and lucky, before assorted tactical, strategic and moral mistakes deprived him of the demanding title "world's richest Jew" and recast him as Israel's ultimate victim of the '08 meltdown.
Leviev is a strange species among Israel's new class of tycoons, who are usually well educated products of the high-tech industry or children of the immigrations from the Middle East, or heirs to what passes here for old money.
Leviev is none of these. Having arrived in Israel at age 15 from Soviet Uzbekistan, the 53-year-old owner of a real estate empire that spans four continents and sprawls from Manhattan's Times Square to the depths of Siberia is unique in his geographic, spiritual and financial roots.
Tashkent, the historically mercantile Silk Road hub where he was born and raised, was light years apart from the Israeli towns where the rest of the Jewish state's moneyed elite were reared, whether rich or poor.
Religion, which his parents practiced at great risk under communist oppression, is for him a supreme value, and a major philanthropic focus, while for most of his colleagues it is folklore at best. And his wealth, though ultimately culminating - and floundering - in the property markets, originated in the exotic diamond industry.
Diamonds and opportunity
A jungle in its own right, the precious-stone industry last played a central role in the Israeli economy back when Jaffa oranges crowned its exports and computers were the stuff of science fiction. Long depressed and emerging from low-tech workshops, the diamond trade is no place for aspiring corporate conquerors in 21st century Israel.
But Leviev, who began cutting diamonds south of Tel Aviv at 16 before owning his own polishing plant at 22 and 12 plants by 32, detected just in time the one opportunity the industry still had to offer.
With the USSR in disarray and his intimate knowledge of Russia and its ways compensating for his lack of higher education, Leviev flew to Moscow and persuaded the relevant officials to take a previously unthinkable U-turn.
He asked simply: Why sell raw diamonds to De Beers, the South African cartel, at reduced prices when you can polish stones yourselves and sell them at higher prices? Inspired by the Gorbachev era's spirit of perestroika, the Soviets agreed.
Leviev thus obtained access to Russia's bottomless diamond deposits, which he then expanded with mining contracts in Angola and Namibia. And De Beers, the legendary monopoly established by Cecil Rhodes during the diamond rush of 1871, suddenly lost its status to Leviev.
Now Leviev was worth an estimated $500 million and stepping up to the next rung in the ladder that would later land him in the Fortune list of the world's 500 richest people.
That rung emerged in the form of real-estate-holding company Africa-Israel Investments, which was put on the block after Israel's Treasury forced the banks to sell their non-banking holdings.
Leviev bought a 60% stake, based on a market value of $400 million, and took its activity abroad. By 2007, Leviev had spread Africa-Israel to 15 countries with operations ranging from gas stations in the U.S. and a toll road in Israel to housing projects in Russia and shopping malls in Romania.
Africa, as it is known in Israel, was at that point valued at $7 billion. In a 2007 IPO it held in London for its Russian activities, it raised $1.4 billion, the largest IPO ever by an Israeli company.
Having in the meantime bought the original New York Times building and the Madison Avenue Clock Tower, the former MetLife headquarters building, for $525 million and $200 million respectively, Leviev was now on top of the world. He was ranked by Forbes as the world's 210th richest man with a personal net worth of $4.1 billion, and universally recognized as the world's richest Jew.

LogMap: Logic-based Methods for Ontology Mapping
Ontologies are extensively used in biology and medicine. A prominent example of a bio-medical ontology is SNOMED CT, which is a core component of the NHS patient record service. Other examples include the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) and the National Cancer Institute Thesaurus (NCI). Ontologies such as SNOMED CT, FMA, and NCI are gradually superseding the existing medical classifications and are becoming core platforms for accessing, gathering, and sharing medical knowledge and data.
To exchange or migrate data between ontology-based applications, it is crucial to establish correspondences (or mappings) between their ontologies. Creating such mappings manually is often unfeasible due to the size and complexity of modern ontologies. Therefore, the problem of automatically generating mappings between ontologies (often referred to as the ontology matching, ontology alignment, or ontology mapping problem) has been investigated extensively in recent years. Despite the already mature state of the art, bio-medical ontologies still pose serious challenges to existing techniques.
First, carefully-curated mapping sets used in bio-medical information integration, such as UMLS Metathesaurus, often contain errors and lack important information. Second, existing mapping generation tools do not scale to the size of modern bio-medical ontologies. Finally, the developers of bio-medical information integration and migration systems based on ontologies currently lack the necessary tool support.
In this research, we aim to address each of these needs. Therefore, we have identified three main objectives:
- To develop general principles and specific techniques to efficiently detect and repair potential errors and discover missing information in manually-curated mapping sets, such as the UMLS Metathesaurus.
- To develop computationally efficient algorithms for generating mappings between large-scale ontologies, while minimising the number of errors and the amount of missing information.
- To design and implement a prototype with core functionality for mapping generation and management, as well as for the translation and migration of ontology data.
Our main research hypothesis is based on the observation that existing techniques for ontology mapping often disregard the logic-based semantics of the input ontologies. As a result, they fail to take advantage of the available semantics, and of the highly effective reasoning services for modern ontology languages. We are proposing to rethink the foundations underlying the current state-of-the art in the field by incorporating reasoning-based techniques in each of the steps of the ontology mapping process. We also intend to go even further and make our techniques practical and ready to be used in applications. To this end, we aim to develop suitable heuristics that can be efficiently implemented. The research is based on our preliminary empirical evidence which suggests the potential benefits of logic-based heuristic techniques when analysing existing mappings between biomedical ontologies.
We expect that our results will be directly relevant to the users of ontology-based systems in the bio-medical domain, where knowledge and data integration is a matter of major concern.

When I'm looking for easy gifts to make, I often turn to projects with felt. Because the edges don't fray, you can often skip several finishing steps and felt makes a lovely base for hand embroidery.
Mother's Day is just a few weeks away. If your mom sews, quilts, or just likes to receive quilted gifts from you (of course she does!), then you will love these free patterns, downloads, and projects to make easy handmade gifts.
When you've finished quilting gifts with beautiful fabrics, trims, and notions, doesn't it seem a shame to cover them up with commercial wrapping?
Our family time was lots of fun and by the end of the week I had also finished a few UFOs, a quick quilt or two, and several small quilting projects to give as gifts.
Today I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas to make for your friends and family, as well as gifts for quilters that would be welcome at your guild's holiday party swap--or under your own tree.
Whether you want to use up bits of this and that in your studio, experiment with a new supply or technique, practice your free-motion stitching, or you're just looking for something fun to quilt in a day, fabric postcards make great small quilting projects.
During the time when I was regularly creating prayer flags, I made a series with tiny paper tags attached. On the tag I glued words cut from old books--little phrases that fit the intention of the flag.
At our show-and-tell circle at the Quilting Arts-Stitch-Cloth Paper Scissors offices this week, Stitch Editor Amber Eden showed us a spread in a major fashion magazine that revealed quilting is a fashion trend.
Finishing a large quilting project is always satisfying. I feel such a sense of accomplishment. But I have to admit: finishing small quilting projects is almost as gratifying, and I can get that feeling of accomplishment so much faster!
Hand-sewing techniques and embroidery are so much easier if you use the right tools. Sharp needles, tiny scissors, and exquisite threads are in every sewing kit, but the humble thimble is often overlooked.
How did you learn to quilt? In my family, the women passed down needlecraft techniques like sewing, embroidery, knitting, and quilting.
My living room sofa could use a few new pillows, which means I'm headed to the studio. I love making throw pillows, because they are easy sewing projects I can use to try out stitching designs and techniques.
Hand sewing is the foundation of needlecraft, and quilting is no exception. But trust art quilters to take needlework and turn it on its head!

born in the 80's near berlin, it all started as young girl going to a lot of concerts of all different kinds of musical styles. getting older, clubbing through berlin started, dancing whole nights, feeling the music, listening to "oslo late night radio show" with a lot of minimal tunes. open minded to all kind of music lead her to electronic sounds – mainly influenced by james holden & nathan fake.

Medical Spotlight 5/24/10 "Youth Sports Injuries"
For many children, little league sports can be dangerous. As many as two million young athletes are injured every year in youth sports programs. From famous athletes such as Bart Starr and Renaldo Nehemiah to national medical organizations such as the American Orthopeadic Society for Sports Medicine, many of the heavyweights in the world of sports medicine are calling the problem an "epidemic." They are banding together to show people how to keep kids safe.
One way they are spreading the message is with a website with practical guidelines: www.stopsportsinjuries.org .
In the Medical Spotlight, Peter Indelicato, M.D., the head team physician for the University Athletic Association at UF, tells TV 20's David Snyder why he thinks its important for parents to make sure their children do not just play one sport.

go join the terrorists... omg I've got tears in my eyes. I love ignoramuses
I'm afraid that I may know this guy. Yikes.
(Want his phone number?) Hehe
I definitely understand that everyone has an opinion and wants that opinion to be heard. That's what Vox Populi is all about and that's why we have it. I take people's comments seriously and can respect them even if I don't agree with them, but not if their approach is one similar to this guy's. All I can do is laugh at his message. Maybe he should seek an anger management class.
How can you respect a person that drops an F-bomb every other sentence? There are more mature ways of speaking, but I can enjoy messages like this anyways... it definitely keeps it interesting while going through the hundreds of calls daily in the Vox mailbox.
The F Bomb is some people's zen.
It calms me the f--- down to drop it.
Good luck with those people! I get a good laugh from a few of our "regular" callers, which unfortunately many of them I'm not allowed to post due to the risque language or subject matter. At least I got the go-ahead with this bleeped out version of his message. I think the bleeps make it even funnier.

Loris Capirossi will enter his 22nd career in grand prix racing by returning to Ducati as a member of the Pramac Racing Ducati team.In a widely expected move, the 37-year-old three-time world champion will leave an underperforming Rizla Suzuki team for the Italian Pramac team. Capirossi will be the most experienced rider the Pramac team's ever had, with 313 GP's, 29 victories, and 11 years in the premier class.The move will be something of a homecoming for Capirossi, who was one of the original riders on the Ducati Marlboro team. The rider with the familiar number '65' rode for the team from its inaugural season of 2003 through 2007. His best season was 2006, when he won three times, finished second four times and third once, had two poles, and ended the season third overall to Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi. His final win came in mixed conditions at Motegi in 2007.The move to the Rizla Suzuki team has been nothing but frustrating. In three years he's had but one podium and this year has been more of a struggle than most. He's scored points in only seven of 16 races and hasn't scored a point since damaging the little finger on his right hand in a collision with Nicky Hayden on the first lap of the San Marino Grand Prix in Misano. Capirossi returned to racing after sitting out Aragon and Japan, but with little success. He fractured his right hand in Malaysia, then suffered a groin injury at the end of qualifying the following weekend in Australia. Still, he's expected to line up for this weekend's penultimate round of the championship in Portugal.The youngest ever world champion, when he won his first 125cc title, currently sits a career worst 17th overall, though he should improve at least one position with the absence of Mika Kallio, the Pramac Racing Ducati rider he's replacing. Kallio ended his two-year stint with Pramac by withdrawing from the final two races, citing lingering injuries from the French Grand Prix. Carlos Checa is replacing him in Estoril and Valencia.Alvaro Bautista, Capirossi's teammate this year, is expected to be the lone Rizla Suzuki rider in 2011, though that isn't official."This return on a Ducati bike make me feel like a child; I do not feel my 37 years," Capirossi said. "I have a great desire to start this new adventure. I'm enormously pleased about this new agreement that was reached with the Pramac Racing team. This will allow me to ride and be part of an Italian team. I would like to thank the team principal of the Pramac Racing team, Paolo Campinoti, for giving me this great opportunity and for the confidence placed in me. I'll find again the Ducati, with whom I had very good results over the past years and that I was able to develop in the 2007, this is an unique sensation for me. I thank Suzuki for the years we spent together and thanks also to the excellent relationship maintained with them. They have given me the possibility to race with my new team since Valencia's test of next month."Capirossi will likely team with current Pramac rider, Aleix Espargaro, though the second seat has been an object of intense speculation. At one point it was believed German Max Neukirchner would make the move from World Superbike, but that came to nothing. Next Moto2 World Champion Toni Elias was linked to the team. Now it appears he's heading for LCR Honda to replace Frenchman Randy de Puniet, who could end up teaming with Capirossi. The Pramac team has made no announcement concerning a second rider.LORIS CAPIROSSI HISTORY2010 - MotoGP - not finished yet

Kate Winslet's Mom, Sally Winslet, Wins Pub Pickling Competition
Sally Winslet Is an Award-Winning Onion Pickler
Like us on Facebook
There are a lot of good onions here. I just boil up the spices with sugar and when the balsamic vinegar is cold I pour it over the onions.
Over the past six months, pickling has become incredibly popular, and Anna Winslet, Kate's sister and Sally's daughter, who was on hand at the competition, couldn't have put it better when she said, "Everyone should be a pickler." No word on Kate's pickling skills, although she is known to be an enthusiastic, yet accident-prone cook.
Are you surprised to learn that Winslet's mother is an award-winning onion pickler? Do you pickle?

Smoked Jalapeno Turkey
Prep Time:
600 minutes
Cook Time:
480 minutes
Difficulty Rating:
12 lb. Turkey (Thawed)
2 gallon(s) Water
8 ounce(s) Jar of sliced Jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoon(s) Red pepper flakes
1 cup(s) white sugar
2 cup(s) Kosher salt
1 Rinsed 12 lb. Turkey (thawed)
Plenty of your favorite poultry seasoning
Preperation Steps
Find a clean 5 gallon plastic bucket and place one kitchen-sized garbage bag inside another garbaage bag and place into bucket. Pour in the water, sliced jalapenos, salt, sugar, and pepper flakes. Stir to mix ingredients. Loosen the skin on the turkey, (especially on the breast), so the brine can better penetrate the meat. Place turkey in the brine (neck end first)for about 8 hours in a cool environment. Occasionally, jiggle the bucket.
Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse it off under the kitchen faucet. Rub a light coating of olive oil on the bird & plenty of your favorite poultry seasoning. Do not forget to lift the skin to get some underneath. Stitch the skin back in place wit a couple of toothpicks, if necessary.
Warm up your Traeger grill to between 225 & 250 degrees and place turkey on the grill breast side up. Smoke the 12 lb. turkey for about 8 hours between 225 & 250 degrees, or about 40 minute per pound, if your turkey is larger.
When the thigh temperature reaches 170 degrees, remove the turkey from the grill and wrap in foil and let it sit for about 30-45 minutes, before slicing and serving.
Enjoy a little something special and different with about 6 of your friends!

Inflation or Fire Drill
We've just witnessed either a massive, pre-emptive, wholesale sentiment shift in the bond and MBS markets or one heck of a dress rehearsal.
Like the old EF Hutton commercial, when Bill Gross speaks, the markets listen. To those that missed this, Bill really detonated the destruction by suggesting that the US of A could lose its AAA debt status. It was all downhill from there.
Inflation at its core IS a monetary event and when the supply is increased, it is inflation but for all practical purposes, is it really? For in reality, it ultimately depends on the environment.
Even a limp balloon becomes full in a vacuum but let the atmosphere back in and it's still just another shriveled piece of rubber. Alternatively, put that balloon in a pressure vessel and you'll realize that it'll take a lot more air than usual to inflate it.
By all accounts, we've seen the abyss or at least teetered on the edge. It's only by way of massive stimulus (and plenty of hot air) that we've avoided the plunge. Have we now gone too far and to the point that a deflationary environment and Armageddon are just soon to be forgotten hitchhikers in the rear view mirror? Does it really happen that quickly?
Don't get me wrong please, those that know me understand that I'm only a couple T-bones short of pure bred perma-bull, but I also bear the scars of the branding iron. I've learned my lessons by being there and though I'd love nothing more than to see an end to our current crisis, I also feel the foundation is not yet cured. Low rates, while artificially colored and flavored, were just beginning to have the intended effect. We've only just begun to grill that burger and there's a lot of pink left on the flip side.
Maybe I'm just an idealist and would like to see the nation's homeowners all locked in at 4.5%, maybe I just like helping people achieve that or maybe I've studied the past well enough to know that the likelihood of significant inflation occurring immediately post recession or unless hindsight proves differently, still in the midst of one, would be a phenomenon by classical definition.
In simple terms, this is not the classical environment during which rates should rise.
So what gives? Well if you're old enough to remember, think Heinz 57 and Carly Simon.
Markets will move in anticipation of current fundamentals and policy leading to the most popular collectively expected results. In other words, if we print more money, it's worth less and investors or lenders demand higher yield.
Head Fake or Pipeline Cleansing Pause?
I'm still more bullish on housing than I am on stocks and the "V" shaped equities recovery we've seen can still become a W. If that happens, then we may very well see a renewed flight to safety, lower bond yields, the continuance if not the further expansion of the Treasury MBS purchase program and don't say it too loudly – lower mortgage rates.
Are these necessary for ultimate recovery, NO. Would they help further the nascent stabilization we've begun to witness with sometimes deeply discounted homes going to truly qualified buyers, YES. Would they help enhance the needed confidence for the shell shocked or side-liner's urge to get back in the game, YES. Would they provide a continued enhanced family cash flow so that dollars currently servicing debt could be freed to fuel saving, discretionary spending and investment, YES. Would the lower interest rates actually help the government by increasing the taxes paid by homeowners but doing so in a way that benefits debtors directly by still lowering overall outlay, YES. Would they further benefit the government by simply lowering the cost of financing the national debt, YES.
Regardless of what would be nice, if what we've experienced is truly collective expectation acting as a barometer of coming economic growth, then let it rain. However, if all of this is the negative consequence of too much stimulus and not enough sizzle then let's hope that recipe can be tweaked in a way that better enhances and defines the escape plan, brings strength back to the dollar and provides for rates more truly in line with realistic expectations for forward growth. For with sustained rates at a level that allows everyone eligible to lock in durable affordability, we'll have truly created an environment that will foster a balanced and healthy housing market.
