Right smack dab in the middle of hiking season and I am stuck on a ship in the middle of nowhere for 3 months.I've been putting in some solid inline treadmill runs and a weekly 20 miles for a long day on the ship (that's like 110 laps around the ship).I figured my attempt of the Tahoe Rim Trail would have to wait another year as there was still too much snow on the ground before I left. Well there's always next year right?A month later and I am itching to do something. It's driving me crazy on the days I can't work out or run with the op tempo we have. I am not one that likes to give up and say game over. I figured the only way I can get my but in to a high enough gear to get rid of this sheer boardem and loneliness is to go for the Tahoe Rim Trail Record as soon as I get back. This will take all what little spare time I have and make the time go by just that much faster.Although I may not be one to say that I do not like to give up, I have gone for the Unsupported Record 3 times now, all ending by the end of day 1. Every time I have started at Tahoe City and go counter clockwise and Desolation just wipes me out while pushing through the first 50 miles in about 15 hours.Regardless of the terrain, it has been other things that actually took me out, but each were not very big things and desolation was the multiplier. This year I am going to start right after I get home and after about 3 days aclimating. Because of the not wanting to do desolation first I decided to save it for last and start at Echo Lakes going counter clockwise. This will take place at or around Sept 23rd.Echo to Big Meadow is a horribly marked area to run through at night anyway so this will get me through it quickly. I also obviously know desolation by now as I've hiked it 5 or 6 times now.Also this being my third time going for the Tahoe Rim Trail Record going unsupported, I have attempted it while there was no record, after a record had been establish and now my best friend Michael Popov has the record. It was a treat seeing him finish last year. This year there also another challenge as a local BPL'er Brian "Phreak" Turner will be attempting the TRT Unsupported Record for the second time now in the next week, (if he is not out there already).As a push to make this happen (and being the huge UL Backpacking junky that I am), I have decided to cut some drastic corners in dropping weight this year.I keep saying this in all my attempts and even hiked the first record attempt of the John Muir Trail going Unsupported without a sleeping bag. So how do I dare top that?For starters, the pack. If you have a small enough pack, then you can't carry anything anyway right?So I'll be taking a 5 litter pack with me, the Salomon XT Wings 5 Pro Pack.It has two 20 ounce bottles on the side for easier and faster pit stops.http://www.argear.com/salomon-xt-wings-5-pro-backpack.htmlI'll also have the Inov8 Race Pack 2 on the front. http://www.inov-8.com/New/Global/Product-View-RacePac-2.html?L=27So here is the gear list for a 168 mile hiking trip...Pack(s): Salomon XT Wings 5 Pro Pack & Inov8 Race Pack 2Clothing worn: Long pants, short sleeve shirt, gloves, injinji socks and shoes.Clothing in the bag: Long sleeve shirt, TNF 3 ounce wind breaker, buff, light beanieFood: 2.5 lbs of a Perpetium/Heed mix, 30 gels and or gue's, 10 bars, some real food to equal 5.25 lbs total food, several assorted pills.The rest: Map, GPS, Spot, Fenix HL21, extra batteries, Deet, sunglasses and case, TP, 2 litter Platy, lip balm, sunscreen, tape for feet and a needle.This is it. I still haven't seen what it all weighs, but I do know that it will easily fit in the packs and doesn't feel heavy on the back at all when it's fully loaded.If anyone hears about how Phreak does out there, please let me know.

sounds grueling....... in a good way :) what is the current record? what kind of day/night temps are you expecting? you've certainly whittled things down, how are you handling "sleeping quarters"?if you don't get enough punishment, consider joining us this October for a cross Zion trek
Tim Long has plans to go for the TRT unsupported record in Aug. http://nolimitsever.blogspot.com/2012/06/interview-with-tim-long-aka.html?m=1 http://footfeathers.blogspot.com/2012/02/tahoe-rim-trail-unsupported-fkt-attempt.html?m=1
Who monitors your time/position to verify you have done this or any record?Duane
Duane - go here, click on Read This First :FKT
I am not sure Tim Long will be going for the record anymore? He had it on his list of runs to do and took it off after (about 2 weeks ago) he moved back to Colorado.Temps can vary this time of year. I am hoping that the night time temps are over 40 degrees to be able to get a few 20 minute naps in each night. Your body turns into a furnace when you're eating and moving constantly. If it's any colder I'll just have to turn into a raging lunatic at night and catch up on an hour or so of sleep when the sun comes up, or in the middle of the day if the temps are boiling. Anything will be better than the 92 degrees I had on top of Dicks pass 2 years ago. One thing for sure is I will "try" not to go into the second night completely sleep deprived and go spacing off into lala land. I will try not sleep the first night if I can help it. There have been a few times where even on the first night, I have snapped out of a strange dream while hiking and what woke me up out of it was when I fell to my knees in an attempt to go off into that lala land.I figure my base weight will be about 2 ½ pounds with the pack being about half of that. Add 5 ¼ lbs of food and 110 ounces of water comes out to a max load of 14.5 lbs. I figure by the time I get to the 2 long stretches without water I'll have eaten about 1.5 pounds of food so the max load will be 13 lbs. The current record is 63:54.Record verification will be with a SPOT. I'll put the Link for the SPOT on this forum so you can all follow.
at 40 degrees w/o any insulation, not sure how much sleep I'd get :) not sure of the terrain, but if it's forested you might be able to dig under a large layer of duffdidn't see a headlamp on your list, am assuming at least some of the hiking will be at night
"I'll put the Link for the SPOT on this forum so you can all follow."Sweet. I'll check back in when you embark.
Hope everything goes well on your attempt. I tried a 4 day attempt a couple of years ago and was knocked out after 56 hours at mile 100 due to a snowstorm. I would think this could be a potential for you as well. I will be following your run, please post a post run update regardless of the outcome.
Hi Aaron, Brian 'Phreak' hasn't started or done his attempt yet. He will be shooting for it mid-August. He and I will be doing a warm-up semi-loop of the HST, via Shepherd Pass and a fast-pack of the JMT after that. We take off for our first hike this Sat. He was on a great pace to break the record last summer and Desolation got the best of him as well. He went clockwise from Tahoe City as well. Best of luck to you on your attempt later this summer! Maybe we can hook up and all do some hiking one of these days!
Edited by rp3957 on 07/25/2012 22:14:33 MDT.
In 6 days a group of 4 will be heading out on the TRT to go for the Supported Record of 38:32.They will have a huge crew, film and even a helo. Here are the details. It will also be on twitter.http://www.insidetrail.com/2012/07/tahoe-rim-trail-speed-record-attempt-gary-gellin/Just a week or so later Brian will be going for the Unsupport Attempt.
Just finished packing everything up.Heading back to Tahoe on Sun and starting on Tuesday at 6am.Here is a picture of the pack completely loaded.
best of luck to you Sir!
Hi Aaron,Lots of luck as you go after a new record for the Unsupported Hike.Do you know about "Kinesio" Taping? After a 6 day stay in the hospital I had a Planta Fascia problem in my right foot. I was taped using the Kinesio Tape and after about 3 days I am almost back to normal. Kinesio Taping

Hi,Would love to follow you on Spot, if you would post the tracking link here.- Elizabeth
Found out just how much I can't stand carrying weight on my back. I was having a great time the first 35 miles averaging 3 mph and 3.5 moving. Then came south daggett creek and a water load for the next 27 miles. As soon as I left fully loaded I was no longer having any fun. To tell you the truth, with the amount of training I've had in the past 3 months I don't think my body could have taken more than another 40 miles at that pace.Still had a beautiful 41 mile stroll through the woods.

There was plenty of variety in Charlie Starr's musical diet growing up in rural Alabama.
Maybe that's why his band, Blackberry Smoke, cooks up such a savory Southern-rock stew.
There was plenty of variety in Charlie Starr's musical diet growing up in rural Alabama.
Maybe that's why his band, Blackberry Smoke, cooks up such a savory Southern-rock stew.
"Well, first and foremost it was bluegrass and gospel music, and I would say country music, but my dad didn't really listen to the radio very much," Starr said in a recent phone interview from a Tampa, Fla., tour stop.
"He was just more into his records and playin' songs that he knew on his guitar. And my grandmother played piano and mandolin, and so they taught my sister and me. It was left up to us to grab an instrument, whichever one we figured we would be most adept at. And so there just was always music. It was just such a musical family."
His mother, meanwhile, was more into rock 'n' roll.
"I had divorced parents, and so I split time between the two, and with her I got the radio and her records, and she had the Stones and Bob Dylan and the Beatles, and so it was rock 'n' roll on one side and country people's music on the other," Starr said of his childhood in Lanett, about a dozen miles north of Auburn.
Starr said his family was also "Baptists, dyed-in-the-wool," and his grandmother's brothers were in the successful Swanee River Boys gospel quartet, which recorded and toured from the late 1930s to the early '70s.
By the time Starr was 12, his father had taught him chords on an acoustic guitar, and how to play bluegrass and Hank Williams standards. But the boy was starting to lean toward rock 'n' roll, and he acquired an electric guitar from a friend. He wanted to learn to play like Aerosmith and Black Sabbath.
"'Cause, you know, when you're a kid, I didn't have any friends who liked bluegrass, and all my friends liked rock music," Starr said. "So obviously I got into a Les Paul and a Marshall."
He also started investigating the Rolling Stones' influences and getting into Delta blues, especially the work of Robert Johnson, Charley Patton and Son House. He even dug into early Appalachian music, before it was even called bluegrass — the works of Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers and "Dock" Boggs.
"But at the same time really lovin' the Allman Brothers and Skynyrd and Marshall Tucker and Little Feat," Starr said of the bands with Southern roots or trappings that top his list. "And then one day, lo and behold, I found the Grateful Dead, too. ... You just can never get enough of good music, no matter what genre it is."

U-Haul not allowed to park out frontBy SARAH FAY CAMPBELL
A motion to allow a proposed U-Haul facility to park moving trucks in front of the building — albeit behind a decorative fence — was voted down 3 to 2 by the Coweta County Board of Commissioners.
The U-Haul facility, consisting of a storage facility, a retail store with moving supplies and other items, and truck rental, is proposed for the Thomas Crossroads area on Highway 34 near Highway 154.
U-Haul wanted to be able to park one of each of the seven types of trucks in the front of the store so that people driving by would know the trucks are available. To do so, a variance to the QDC regulations was required.
A public hearing on the variance was held last month before the Coweta Board of Zoning Appeals. The zoning appeals board voted unanimously to recommend denial.
The county planning department staff also recommended denial, but listed several conditions if the variance were to be approved. Those conditions included a brick wall and a decorative fence around the front of the building.
"What we are asking for in the variance is for your permission to build a U-Haul center," said Carlos Vizcarra, president of Amerco Real Estate, U-Haul's in-house real estate division.
Vizcarra said the U-Haul center will be an estimated $5 million investment.
In the retail store, in addition to moving supplies, there are also models of the various sizes of storage units, he said. That way people can get a feel for what they need.
"It's the same thing with trucks," he said. "If they are moving a two-bedroom apartment, they don't automatically know they need a 20-footer," he said. "If they can go and open the doors that is going to be a lot of help."
The planning department recommendations were for a maximum of three trucks out front at any one time, if the variance were to be approved. Vizcarra said he'd like at least five.
"I would love for y'all to come and I think it is a great location," said Commissioner Tim Lassetter during Tuesday's commission meeting. But, he asked, "Why not just have a sign that says truck rental?"
"I guess from my perspective I don't understand why having the vehicles out frontâ ¦ is so critical, versus having a sign," Lassetter said. "Because, generally speaking, once you see a U-Haul sign you know that there are trucks there," he said.
"I don't understand the importance of it being so significant — of not coming — if you don't have trucks in front of the location."
Vizcarra had previously said that "when someone moves they know exactly where to go. That is the result of having equipment on site and on display. If we don't have that, then my board of directors will not allow me to expand and make a $5 million investment."
"With 1,400 locationsâ ¦ we've established a lot of data," said Vizcarra. "We have found the less display space we have, the less customers we have in a store."
County Zoning Administrator Angela White said the recommended conditions include a 3-foot opaque wall, five-foot decorative fence, and trucks no longer than 17 feet. That is for safety reasons.
Vizcarra said he'd like at least a 20-footer.
Store staff could take people to the back to see bigger trucks, said Commissioner Al Smith.
Smith made a motion to approve the variance with the recommended conditions.
Commission Chairman Rodney Brooks represents the Thomas Crossroads area. He said he thinks with the screen, it might be OK.
Brooks said he spoke to "a couple of the commercial neighbors" in the area. "I point blank asked them what their thoughts were," he said. "Their comments were 'if it looks nice, I'm in favor of it,'" he said.
Brooks asked Vizcarra if U-Haul would be willing to help pay for a traffic signal at the median break in front of Chick-fil-A and Bank of America.
"Yes we would be," Vizcarra said. "I'd also like to point out that our traffic counts are actually very small" compared to the other uses nearby.
Brooks suggested paying half of the cost of the signal, roughly $100,000. Vizcarra said that would be OK.
But the U-Haul store is not even at the median break, said Tom Crymes, local representative for the applicants. The facility access will be right-in, right-out only.
Brooks asked Smith if he would be willing to amend his motion to require U-Haul to cover 25 percent of the cost of a new signal. Smith agreed.
"I hope they come," said Lassetter. "But it's just hard for me to live with deciding to approve something like this when we've got somebody right across the road, that is over the length of a football field away from 34, that couldn't do this same thing," he said, referring to Tractor Supply.
"We are in unprecedented economic hardship," Brooks said. "I think anything we can do as a board" to help the economy would be fine "as long as it doesn't take away from the quality corridor."
Commissioner Paul Poole asked what effect granting the variance would have on the QDC.
"It may set a precedent," said White.
Smith's motion failed 2 to 3, with Lassetter, Poole and Bob Blackburn opposed.

Cookie Monster Want To Host 'Saturday Night Live'
'Sesame Street' posted an 'SNL' audition reel for the gluttonous Muppet on their YouTube account. We're not sure if the children's show is serious about this viral campaign for Cookie Monster, which includes a Facebook page. But if they are successful, one of their most iconic characters would perform with the same people who railed against 'Sesame Street' for the Katy Perry debacle.
Chances are it's just a stunt. The producers probably want to seem hip again.
Sesame Street's 40th: Five funniest characters
In fact, a recent box set of the show's earliest episodes came with a disclaimer that the episodes contained within it were "not for kids." That's also because it contained the rare lost episode from the early 1970s when Grover and Prairie Dawn accidentally wandered into the Plato's Retreat swingers club where they learned the difference between "top" and "bottom".
The point is adults can find just as much to laugh at as their kids do and here are the biggest chortle-makers.
Sesame Street's 40th: Five biggest controversies
Sesame Street is no stranger to controversy. Critics, cynics and crybabies have called out the show on everything from questionable behavior to the ambiguous situations...of puppets. Of course, all of these complaints and cackling criticisms just scratch the surface of a much bigger issue that has largely gone unaddressed: the total loss of our sanity and grasp on reality.
So as we look back at the last 40 years of television's greatest children's show, we see some speed bumps along the way. These are the ones that caused the greatest loss of tire pressure.
Will Cookie Monster become the Veggie Monster?
Rumors started circulating earlier this morning that Sesame Street's Cookie Monster would drop the "Cookie" on his business card and replace it with "Veggie." It became the top Google search this morning and fueled rumors that the character would make the official change on the show's 40th Anniversary on Nov. 10th.
A show rep said Cookie Monster will remain as such, even if he considers cookies a "sometimes food." That's good ol' Cookie Monster, teaching kids the value of nutrition while sacrificing the value of good grammar.
Cookie Monster to Become Veggie Monster? (Relax, He Still Loves Cookies!)
The Sesame Street character has not been renamed the "Veggie Monster" in an attempt to get kids eat better, says Gather.
The Veggie rumor, one of the top Google searches this morning, has spawned from the recesses of the Internet and was
probably fertilized, if you will, by reports that the show will be updated on Nov. 10 for its 40th anniversary season. Google's use of the Cookie Monster on its Google Doodle probably didn't help.
The View goes cooky over the Cookie Monster
Cookie Monster has been in "cookie rehab" of sorts for about three years now. The View ladies finally caught wind of it and went off on a three minute tear about it using voices that are normally reserved for members of WTO protests or people who are on fire.
How bad did it get? Elisabeth Hasselbeck was the "good cop."
My "hard hitting" interview with Grover, Cookie Monster and Maria - TCA Report
(Update - 8/3: Added the pic I took with Abby, Cookie Monster, and Sonia. This will be the only time you see me be in a photo with a celebrity here. In this case, I can let my journalistic standards slide a bit.)
Here's a fun thing to help close the first week of the press tour. Before yesterday's panel on the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street, Sonia Manzano, who's played Maria for the entire run, was outside the ballroom greeting people, as were three of the actors/puppeteers: David Rudman (Cookie Monster), Leslie Carrara (Abby Cadabby) and Eric Jacobson (Grover). Of course, all three brought along their characters to talk to the crowd, take pictures with the critics, and generally make everyone smile.
What I've always loved about the Muppets and the actors who give them life is that, not only are they speaking on a level that both adults and children can appreciate, but they're always so good and improvising. Think about this; it's not easy to say something funny on the spot when a reporter shoves a tape recorder in you face. And that's without a big ball of fur on your right hand. So I decided to goof around with Grover and Cookie Monster and threw them some curveballs. I also spoke to Manzano after the panel was over. All the audio is after the jump.
Sesame Street will have a Mad Men parody this year - TCA Report
Barry appeared here with Dr. Rosemarie Truglio, who is in charge of the show's curriculum. They talked about the show's landmark season and what kids and their parents should expect to see. Among them: A new segmentized format, a new host, Murray Muppet, who will take kids through the various segments of the show, and a new segment featuring Abby Cadabby that's the program's first foray into CGI. The curriculum will emphasize science and nature along with the usual cornerstones this year.
Now onto the Mad Men parody. When asked how they would be able to pull it off, given the drinking, smoking, and womanizing that's a big part of the AMC show, Barry said, "You may have seen our parody called 'Desperate Houseplants.' It was about a houseplant not getting its needs met by the gardener. So it always works on two levels."
Sunny day, everything's not-so-A-OK for the Sesame Workshop
If you are the kind of heartless bastard who won't cry at the discovery of this news, you should. Get a fork, poke yourself in the eyes, and let nature take its course.
The Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization that created the world's greatest kids show in the history of whatever, is laying off a huge chunk of its staff.
Nothin' but 'cookie' love - VIDEO
In fact, her name is Kathreya. "Kat" - as she is better known - was a contestant the ninth season of the Big Brother UK, and she's throwing a tantrum because a faceless, omnipresent authority ("Big Brother," who speaks to her through a black hole planted in the wall) refuses to give her cookies.
Sesame Street's 39th season starts today
That's the first thing that went through my head when I saw that the show starts its 39th season today on PBS (check local listings for time). This means that I must have started watching the show when I was around four years old, which seems strange to me, but I've learned never to argue with Bert & Ernie.
Sesame Street is going to be awesome - VIDEO
Sesame Street makes a deal with New Balance
Can you tell me how to get, how to get a pair of the New Balance Sesame Street sneakers?
That's right, the long-running PBS children's show has made a mega-deal with the shoe company to create a line of sneakers for infants and grade school kids. The infant sneakers will cost $43 (cough) and the grade school sneakers will be $65. The shoes will be available in major chain retail stores and the shoes will also be pushed during episodes of Sesame Street.
Can you tell Anderson Cooper how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
If you've ever wanted to see CNN's Anderson Cooper report the news from a trash can, today's your lucky day.
Cooper will be a guest today on PBS' Sesame Street. Check out the pic on the right. That's Cooper inside a trash can, next to Oscar The Grouch and his trash can. He'll be reporting for GNN: The Grouch News Network.
Cookie Monster eats a machine - VIDEO
Muppet fans know that some characters evolve while others just spring up from out of nowhere. Cookie Monster, for example, began life as somewhat more ferocious-looking monster (the row of sharp teeth helped) in several commercials before being toned down and brought to Sesame Street.
In the clip below, a pre-Sesame Street Cookie Monster devours a machine while the machine describes how it works and what its many functions are. Actually, it only has one main function, but you'll have to watch the clip for that.

of a pet is no less painful than the loss of a person. Volunteers
and counselors have experienced losses of their own little
critters and they empathize enough to provide support to
others. Our cats, dogs, and others are our full-fledged
family members who mean the world to us, because of their
unconditional love and good company. They're worth all the
early wake-up calls, hairballs and walks in inclement weather!
Should you suffer the loss of your pet, remember, you're
not alone.

Highly Contagious AIDS-Like Disease Spreading in China
Posted By kurtnimmo On April 1, 2011 @ 10:04 am In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled

Epoch Times
April 1, 2011
In a small hotel across from the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a reporter from New Express Daily, dressed in an isolation suit, interviewed a dozen "unusual" patients from different areas of China. Their symptoms are painful and debilitating, and AIDS-like, but repeated tests for HIV have come up negative.
Lin Jun, one of the patients interviewed in the March 24 New Express Daily report, said he used to be chubby, but now he is skin and bones, and his joints have become all deformed.
Lin is referred to in the group as "big brother" for his kindness and giving fellow patients hope when they feel hopeless, with some having considered suicide.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Carlisle Towery, Western Kentucky University's first two-time All-American, died Sunday, November 25, at his home in Marion, Ky. He was 92 years old.
"Big Boy" Towery was Hilltopper athletics' second All-America selection, earning that elite honor as a junior basketball standout in 1940 and then repeating as a senior in 1941. Playing for the legendary E.A. Diddle, he was the first Hilltopper to score 1,000 points, totaling 1,010 in his three-year varsity career. In the 71 years since, only 44 other Hilltopper athletes have reached that lofty plateau.
The three Hilltopper teams he played on won 68 of 81 games, an 84% success ratio — 22-3 in 1938-39; 24-6 in 1939-40; and 22-4 in 1940-41. A two-time all-conference pick by both the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) and the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC), he was a major factor on three SIAA championship teams (1939, 1940 and 1941) and two KIAC title clubs (1939 and 1940). He averaged 10.6 points per game as sophomore, 13.8 as a junior and a then-school record 17.1 as a senior.
Towery was inducted into the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993, and a retired jersey with his name and number (42) is one of just six hanging in the rafters of E.A. Diddle Arena in honor of Hilltopper men's basketball student-athletes and coaches.
He also enjoyed an outstanding career in professional basketball, playing for the legendary Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons of the National Basketball League. He played three seasons with the Pistons before entering military service in World War II, where he earned a Bronze Star. Towery returned to the Pistons after the war and was with the club when it joined the Basketball Association of America, the modern NBA, in 1948. He later played with the Indianapolis Jets and the Baltimore Bullets.
Towery is survived by a daughter, Nancy Brock, of Marion, Ky.; three sons, Bill Towery of Marion, Clark Towery of Scottsville, Ky., and Rob Towery of Marion; a brother, Shellie Elmo Towery of Wichita Falls, Texas; and 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held at 1:00 PM (CT), Saturday, December 1, at Myers Funeral Home in Marion. Visitation will begin at the funeral home at 11:00 AM before the service.

Quality construction and excellent price.

Excellent workmanship and quality of materials. Easy to assemble. My grandkids stained the pieces with Minwax Wood Finish (Early American Shade). The pieces went together easily and it looked fantastic and was the exact size for our outdoor Nativity set. Only one boo-boo - one side of one of the staples was sticking out and I had to trim it before assembly.
P. Robinson
Was happy with whole transaction. Stable was made with quality materials.
J. Killgallon
Very well made, easy to construct. Very impressive looking. Only minor criticism was that the wood was split in two locations where screws had been installed. Minor repair needed, but not noticeable.
M. Petino
The workmanship was perfect, making it easy to assemble and disassemble for packing away at the end of the season. The size was exactly what we needed. I'm happy that I found your company. I did a lot of searching before finding you. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. Thank you.

Quality merchandise that was easy and quick to assemble. Recieved the product within two days and that was with regular shipping. Would recommend this product.

This is Clarendon Hills flagship wine. It is a member of Clarendon Hills ' 1er Grand Cru classification.
Every year, the Astralis vineyard produces the most beautiful wine in our cellar. Despite its non-differentiated treatment in the cellar, it always reveals the most rounded, sublime and seamless expression of syrah which ages like a rock.
The vast wealth of this wines varietal depth extends beyond the parameters of syrah - beckoning superlatives. Amazingly svelte in its balance of varietal depth with restrained power and super finely integrated extract, it is light on its feet and majestic once in focus. Overriding harmony meets an anarchical expression of Australian classic syrah. Lifted florals dance with rich meats, coffee, cola, chocolate, pan forte, turkish delight, graphite, bitumen, cigar tobacco, black cardamom, good quality soy sauce and crushed rocks. It is dense, yet creamy smooth.
This is a wine that is always the most beautiful in our cellar. We recommend it is always decanted. Only the patient will recoup the full dividend of cellaring this masterpiece.

Foyers are important because they make the first impression when you enter a house, but sometimes people over think the space. Necessary elements in our opinion are: a rug (not too light so that it is pretty and practical) a nice console or chest, a lamp, simple accessories, and a mirror or pretty painting. Changing the light fixture to a more open and updated lantern makes a big difference here. Take a look:

The Complete Works of Isaac Babelby Isaac Babel
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--and the most revered short-story writer since Chekhov--Isaac Babel (1894-1940) left an extraordinary literary legacy that continues to grow, remarkably, more than sixty years after his death in Lubyanka Prison at the hands of Stalin's secret police. Despite Babel's celebrated stature--which had already been achieved during his lifetime--the whole of his work, owing to his arrest and the state of affairs in the Soviet Union, was never assembled in one place. This magnificent edition of Babel's collected work fulfills a lifelong ambition of Babel's daughter, Nathalie, who has authorized and edited the entire collection, and has collaborated with award-winning translator Peter Constantine in readying the work for publication. Every story or selection included in this volume (147 in total) has been newly edited and translated, beginning with Babel's first published story, "Old Shloyme," originally published in 1913, and concluding with two scenes from a screenplay that Babel did not live to see made into a film. Included in are stories that will be familiar to Babel enthusiasts, like the "Red Cavalry" cycle and his diaries, as well as untranslated stories and other works that appear in English for the first time. To read Babel is to relive the wild and often terrifying swings of twentieth-century Russian history. No writer has conveyed with such emotion and convulsive energy the tragic story of a modern nation that remained a prisoner of its brutal and repressive past. Combining the compassion of Dostoevsky with the mordant wit of Chekhov, Babel injected a daring social criticism and a palpable sexual tension into the literary climate of post-tsarist Russia. In the process, he created a style so vivid, so lacerating, and so utterly hypnotic that his stories have come to define the sanguinary landscape of the Soviet Union in the years between the two world wars. As these stories illustrate, and as Cynthia Ozick insightfully observes in her passionate introduction, Babel was a man of acute contradictions. Born in the cosmopolitan port city of Odessa during the long reign of Alexander II, Babel was quite competent in both Hebrew and Yiddish but, influenced by both Flaubert and Maupassant, wrote his first stories in fluent French. His often comic portrayal of characters--such as the ruthless Jewish mobsters depicted in his Benya Krik stories--resulted from observing them firsthand as a boy in the Moldavanka neighborhood of Odessa. As Ozick notes, the "breadth and scope of his social compass enabled him to see through the eyes of peasants, soldiers, priests, rabbis, children, artists, actors, women of all classes. . . . He was at once a poet of the city ('the glass sun of Petersburg') and a lyricist of the countryside ('the walls of sunset collapsing into the sky')." Arranged sequentially in fourteen sections, traces the entire arc of Babel's literary career, beginning with early stories, which are followed by The Odessa Stories and The Red Cavalry Stories. Also included are his Reports from St. Petersburg (1918), the remarkable 1920 Diary, and reports from Soviet Georgia and France, where his wife, Evgenia, and his daughter, Nathalie, lived. Many of his later stories (1925-38) reflect a compelling literary quality and abrupt change in style that have challenged translators for years. An accomplished playwright and screenwriter, Babel, at the height of his popularity, began writing for the Soviet cinema as early as the 1920s, and many of these works have never been translated before. This edition also includes a foreword and a biographical afterword by Nathalie Babel, a translator's preface and annotations throughout by Peter Constantine, and a chronology by Gregory Freidin, regarded as one of the foremost Babel scholars in the world. Unprecedented for both its literary and its scholarly achievement, will stand as Babel's final, most enduring legacy.
"The Complete Works of Isaac Babel is a beautiful testament to one of the true geniuses of twentieth-century literature. Perhaps Babel's youthful prediction that "literature's Messiah, so long awaited, will issue from there ? from the sun-drenched steppes washed by the sea" (from "Odessa") was as true as any prediction has ever been." Adrienne Miller, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
A literary event of extraordinary dimensions--the first single-volume edition of all of Isaac Babel's work.
Finally in paperback, this "monumental collection; gathers all of Babel's deft and brutal writing, including a wide array of previously unavailable material, from never-before-translated stories to plays and film scripts" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times). Reviewing the work in The New Republic, James Woods wrote that this groundbreaking volume "represents a triumph of translating, editing, and publishing. Beautiful to hold, scholarly and also popularly accessible, it is an enactment of love." Considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Babel has left his mark on a generation of readers and writers. This book will stand as Babel's final, most enduring legacy. Winner of the Koret Jewish Book Award; A New York TimesNotable Book, a
Often revolving around the tortured dilemmas faced by Jews within the ruthless Soviet state, Babel's terse, violent fiction has left its mark on generations of readers and writers. This single-volume edition of all his work will stand as Babel's final, most enduring legacy. 2 photos. 3 maps.

A good-government group has released a new set of political maps that would complicate the political situation in the Assembly, would further north country-ize our state Senate district, and would do what was expected of our congressional district.
The state is in the midst of a fight over the decennial redistricting process, wherein the changes in the state's population are borne out in the contours of district lines. That way, a Sen. Patty Ritchie represents roughly the same amount of people as a Sen. Joe Griffo.
The process has been derided by outside groups as an insider's game whose sole goal is the betterment of the politicians themselves, not the perfection of representative democracy. They want an independent group with an academic bent to draw the lines.
That's what Common Cause did. with a thorough detailing of district maps that follow the rules and don't take into account a sitting legislator's stats vis-a-vis R and D, or even where they live. Most tellingly, the maps are a demonstration not only of the fact that it can be done, but a demonstration of why it is politically so difficult to do so. That brings us directly to...
State Assembly
The new map for the state Assembly would create a north country Assembly district in which there are no sitting legislators.
The new 122nd Assembly District would be composed of the entirety of St. Lawrence County and part of Franklin County. No sitting legislator lives in St. Lawrence County — Assemblywoman Addie Russell, who represents the river towns, lives in Theresa, and Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush, who represents the so-called "snowmobile" towns, lives in Black River, both Jefferson County locales.
It would put Mrs. Russell and Mr. Blankenbush in the same district — the 118th. That's something that neither of the former Jefferson County Legislature colleagues want. These certainly are independent lines — independent, and therefore politically messy.
State Senate
If Common Cause's recommendations are taken in their entirety, our part of the north country would have to say goodbye to Mr. Griffo, who represents Lewis County and part of St. Lawrence County.
Mrs. Ritchie would take up the a greater geographical swath of Northern New York, partially retreating out of Oswego County, which she represents in full right now. She would take the rest of St. Lawrence County, all of Lewis County and part of Oneida County.
According to vote totals compiled by Common Cause, her district would become less Republican, but only slightly so.
There is some speculation in the Ritchie office about whether getting the rest of St. Lawrence County would be a good thing for her. It's her home territory, but it's also home to Potsdam, the only town that Mr. Griffo lost his successful 2010 run. It's a college town, at that. But Mrs. Ritchie has probably earned some accolades in the twin college towns of Canton and Potsdam with her efforts to push back the consolidated presidencies at SUNIES Potsdam and Canton.
Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, and his likely Republican opponent, Matt Doheny, have told me that they believe the 23rd Congressional District will, and should, remain relatively intact.
Common Cause agrees, coming out with a map that would make the 23rd a seemingly more sensible area of the north country and taking away land mass from some sitting legislators nearer to the Capital region.
It would also make it slightly more Democratic-leaning, according to presidential vote totals calculated by Common Cause. But it would avoid a primary fight between Mr. Doheny and Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (Ms. Buerkle instead would be in the same district as Republican Rep. Richard Hanna).

That's nice. Why does windows have to make something and not test it looking for all the problems in it.
Major Windows security update foiledA Russian security company claims it found a way to beat a security measure in Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2, a major update aimed at securing customers' PCs.
The SP2 measure, known as Data Execution Protection, is intended to prevent would-be attackers from inserting rogue code into a PC's memory and tricking Windows into running the program. However, in a paper published Friday, Moscow-based Positive Technologies said two minor mistakes in the implementation of the technology allow a knowledgeable programmer to sidestep the protection.
The company notified Microsoft of the problem Dec. 22, but it apparently decided not to wait for the software giant to patch the flaws.
Neither Microsoft nor Positive Technologies immediately responded to requests for comment Friday.
After several delays, Microsoft began rolling out SP2 in August of last year, at which time company Chairman Bill Gates called the update "a significant step in delivering on our goal to help customers make their PCs better isolated and more resilient in the face of increasingly sophisticated attacks."
Source: CNet
That's nice. Why does windows have to make something and not test it looking for all the problems in it.
That's how you get newer service packs. It's normal, if they were able to make it perfect, we'd not get any updates.
No matter how good Microsoft make their products there will always be someone trying to hack it.
Still at least they are leaving Linux alone, but having to run as root to install malicious code makes it more difficult to successfully hack than Windows.
Linux Rocks
Linux is almost hack free unless someone sniffs your root password. Microsoft should be able to come up with something like this soon.
Hopefully, I just hope they will think things through before they release something that can allow harm to your computer.
"If you enjoy what you do, you'll never work another day in your life."
My man confucius said it well :D
Why is my signature text blue I did not make it like that??
They do, as far as I can remember SP2 costed them 2 million dollars in testing alone. But it'll never be perfect, there is no such thing as perfect software.
I agree with you , Genesis! There is no "Perfect" in software industry. "Perfect" is not a techincal word, I think it's more or less an literature word.
Micro$oft dominant the software markets for years, and there isn't any other gaint company alike can leverage Micro$oft. I think that's probably why hackers/attackers going after MS B)

The situation is finely poised heading into the final session of the Boys Home Internationals at Forest Pines where Scotland, Ireland and defending champions England are all still in with a chance of winning.
Scotland narrowly lost to England 3-2 in the morning foursomes while Wales put in their best performance of the week but still trail Ireland by the same margin.
Conditions at the Lincolnshire venue have been excellent all week and now as the tournament nears its conclusion there is a heightened sense of tension within the four camps as multiple outcomes are still possible.
Ireland and Wales were first onto the course and for large periods the match could have swung either way.
Ireland's Sean Flanagan, yesterday's hero against England, was brought back down to earth after he and Roman Mullarney struggled to get any momentum going and suffered a 6&4 defeat to Jack Davidson and Otto Mand.
Paul McBride and Jack Walsh had a disjointed game against Kyle Harman and Tim Harry before coming through 2&1. At one stage they were three up then fell back to level by the turn before closing out the match at the 17th.
Robin Dawson (Pictured left) has seen a lot of the pristine tree-lined course with four of his matches going to the 18th and the other finishing at the 17th. He remains Ireland's only player with a 100 per cent record after he and James Sugrue (Pictured left) won by two-holes against Joshua Davies and Charlie Spencer-White in the top match.
Alec Myles and Rowan Lester completely turned their match around by winning five out of six holes from the 10th before a birdie at the 15th denied Daniel King and Alex Matthews 4&3.
Wales' second win was assured in the bottom tie when Jordan Hood pulled his approach into the water hazard at the 18th as he and Gareth Lappin lost by one-hole to Thomas Williams and Rhys Jones.
"I am much happier with today's performance. It was our best foursomes showing of the week by far. We needed to breath a bit of fire out of the dragon and are now looking forward to the singles," said Wales captain Leighton Smith.
Scotland captain Barrie Douglas picked out Robert MacIntyre (Pictured top right) and Euan Walker's narrow one-hole win over Robert Burlison and Bobby Keele in the anchor tie as the key match.
"Robert holed an eight footer at 17 when the match was all square and England missed from two feet. Before that we looked as though we were out of the competition. So to go on and get a point was terrific," explained Douglas.
The top two matches both went the distance with never more than two holes separating the sides at any point in the matches before both finished all-square. Haydn McCullen celebrates his 17th birthday today but the halved match he and Ashton Turner shared with Connor Syme and Calum Hill in the top match ended his 100 per cent record.
Nothing could separate Ewen Ferguson and Niall McMullen against Adam Chapman and Marco Penge in the second tie.
"To halve the first game was miraculous. We must have been in the trees ten times but fortunately England missed some putts too," added Douglas.
The formidable pairing of Harry Ellis (Pictured Right) and Ben Amor won for the third straight day when they defeated Benjamin Kinsley and Stuart Easton 3&2. Jack Singh Brar and Bradley Moore won by the same margin against Alan Waugh and George Burns.
As it stands, Ireland and Scotland have won one match each and halved with each other, while defending champions England have one win and one defeat and Wales have lost twice.

See Disney's Wreck-It Ralph in stunning RealD 3D at special preview film screenings nationwide. Take your friends along to enjoy this hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey next Sunday morning before its cinema release on February 8.
Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore take moviegoers on a fun filled roller coaster ride in Wreck-It Ralph. Ralph is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, the good guy star of their arcade game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a good guy hero.
On his quest, Wreck-It Ralph meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun from the first-person action game Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose game world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that can destroy the entire arcade. Will Ralph realise his dream of being a good guy and save the day before it's too late?

Colton Udall took top honors in the AMA West Coast Grand Prix Series feature race at round three of the AMA District 37 Big 6 Grand Prix Series at the 29 Palms Motorsports Complex just outside of 29 Palms, California, Saturday, April 5. It marked the WFOx Motorsports Honda rider's first GP win of the year, and he had to come from behind to seal the victory over early leader and eventual runner-up Eric Yorba on the FMF/RPM Racing KTM and THR Motorsports/Monster Energy/Precision Concepts Kawasaki's Ricky Brabec.
"Once I got relaxed and kind of got going after the pit [in the 90-minute-plus-a-lap race], everything started clicking and I started pulling some time out so it was pretty good," Udall said. "I've had some good races here."
Bel-Ray/FMF/Moose Racing Husqvarna's Jacob Argubright and Pro 2 winner Blayne Thompson (who holeshot the first line that combined Open bikes and 250s) rounded out the top five.
The popular high-speed GP drew almost 1000 entries for the weekend in its 40th annual edition.

By believing her own hype and thinking she was bigger than TM,she made a mistook. Thinking that she'd get away with not disclosing her gastric band was another mistook.

Jim's Seventh Favorite Film
29 Oct
When it's all said and done, John Carpenter likely won't go down in history being spoken of in the same breath as Martin Scorsese, Orson Welles, John Ford or any other director whose name is synonymous with path paving, pioneering or inspiring future generations. Despite directing a few titles that have resonated with audiences enough to be re-visited and reshaped by others (Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog), Carpenter has also directed his fair share of clunkers (pretty much his entire output since the 90s minus In the Mouth of Madness) or titles that aren't easy to classify by the mainstream (Big Trouble in Little China, They Live).
Because of this, it's easier for people to overlook Carpenter's legacy or discredit his successes as anomalies than it is to admit that the man who wrote, "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum" is a skilled filmmaker. But if one wanted to prove that Carpenter's success and worth were warranted, he or she would have to look no further than The Thing as Exhibit A, B and C.

Bath & Body Works Sinful Vanilla Body Lotion Review
Another day, another Bath and Body Works Halloween Body Lotion review.
Tired of 'em yet?
Not me…!
Hey, I was thinking….what if BBW starts doing these little themed body lotions for all the Holidays!? Like V-Day, Easter, etc…I can get on board with a marshmallow chick body lotion! Same goes for the Liplicious Lipglosses…
But than we'd have a whole shiz load of mini body lotions and lipglosses. Oh wait…that won't be a problem since we already HAVE a load of them anyway.
Sinful Vanilla Body Lotion is one of six new mini size lotions available now at Bath and Body Works for Halloween.
Check it!
Umm I didn't like it.
At first it starts out creamy vanilla and in reality the notes are supposed to be vanilla bean, whipped marshmallow, and vanilla cream but there is something playing around in the background that makes me curl my nose up. I dunno what it is.
It's almost as if you emptied out a bottle of Black Candy Apple, didn't wash it out, and poured Sinful Vanilla inside. There's this odd musky back note that gives the vanilla a bit of a darker edge. You might like it if you enjoy more musky, darker vanilla scents but I'm personally a lover of foody type vanillas which I was hopeful this would be….
Mmm not for me!
Loving the packaging though which is a blood red bottle (would LOVE if the lotion was that shade) and features a little gravestone.
Have you smelled it?
Did you get the odd back note?
Whatcha think?
Share it!
Available now at Bath and Body Works.
P.S. Here's the first picture of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, so bloody weird!
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
8/5/11 11:19 Janet Shepherd:
I love foody vanilla scents too – not sure I'd like that one with a weird back note.
As for Anne Hathaway – pah! Michelle Pfeiffer was the BEST Catwoman. 😀
8/5/11 18:47 Jackers:
Mila Kunis as Catwoman? OMG, she's my latest girl crush and she would have been amazing. Good call! If only. :\ I'm sorry, I don't see Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, I just don't.
Thanks for the good review, I'm like you, foodie vanilla all the way so I'm a tad relieved that I will save some money here, heh heh heh.
8/5/11 11:48 Luna:
I actually like this one, but it was not what I expected. Those notes definitely leave you thinking it will be way foodier than it is. This reminds me spot-on of something else and I can't for the life of me remember what it is. I want to say either another B&BW limited or a popular perfume.
Either way, do like, not what I expected.
8/5/11 12:33 Carrie:
Thanks for the review! Now I know that I can safely pass on this one, since I am more of a foodie vanilla girl myself.
8/5/11 13:47 Gabriella:
I thought I was going to love this but when I tested it out in store…….Mhhhh, not so much!!! I thought it was a nice smell at first but after a minute on my hands the scent changed and was gross. I got a really plastic-like smell. Blah. I'll stick with warm vanilla sugar for my vanilla lotion fix!
8/5/11 15:57 Fey:
I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH. Reminds me a lot of a smoky version of the discontinued Vanilla Noir (my favorite). Those dark vanillas make me howl at the moon.
8/5/11 17:13 JoElla:
Vanillas are so dang hard for companies to pull off, many many times I have sniffed and left it on the shelf with these types of products.
The mere mention of Midnight Pom turned me off right them and there.
I may give it a sniff next weekend (BBW is having another in store event on the 14th YAY!) but it sounds like only sniffing I will do with this.
The girls on qvc philosophy girls forum will be bummed about how wonky this is.. they were pretty excited about this one.
8/6/11 20:40 Lucy:
I also smelled this one, too, and didn't like it. I thought I was going to get a Vanilla Noel kind of smell, but instead I got that! All of the scents I hated, also, which I was really surprised about. I wanted to like all of them, but I didn't. I think I might go back in and smell all of them, though!
8/7/11 1:00 Kayla:
The darker back note actually sounds perfect, for my tastes :] I'll definitely have to scoop this one up! I wish they offered the full size, though. Oh well!
9/12/11 11:03 Melissa:
I love vanilla scents and miss the old recipe for warm vanilla sugar. I'm not crazy, they changed it! 😉 In any event, I bought the special 3 bottles of Sinful Vanilla for $5 this weekend.
There is definitely a back note that adds a darker, perfumey edge. There is still the sweetness of vanilla, but with my chemistry the deep perfumey piece hits after the dry down. Sadly, I'm getting an onion-y note as the morning progresses. Bah, my chemistry!!

Simply Strawberry Sorbet
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons water, preferably spring water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 pints (about 1 1/2 pounds or 6 cups) fresh-picked strawberries, preferably organic, rinsed, patted dry, and hulled
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 large egg white, preferably farm-fresh (optional)
Make the simple syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
In a blender, purée the strawberries with the syrup and lemon juice until very smooth (you may need to divide this into several batches if your blender is not extra-large). If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Add the egg white, if using, during the last 2 to 3 minutes of churning. If making the ice cream cake , immediately pack into the pan. Or store, tightly covered, in the freezer.
Variation: Strawberry-passion fruit sorbet:
Cut 7 passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp and seeds into a blender. Blend for 20 seconds, then pass through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, pushing on the solids with back of a wooden spoon. Measure out 6 tablespoons of this purée and combine with the strawberries, syrup, and lemon juice in a blender as directed above.

Scott Horton Interviews Rep. Ron Paul
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) discusses the overwhelming popular support for auditing the FED, the surreptitious method of funding wars through inflation instead of direct taxation, the case for withdrawing from Afghanistan and Ben Bernanke's refusal to change course and acknowledge flaws in his economic theory.
MP3 here. (14:42)
Congressman Ron Paul represents Texas's 14th district. He is the author of End the Fed, The Revolution: A Manifesto, A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship and Freedom Under Siege.

I 100% agree. I don't like ever single thing Ron says, but man I love this guy. And he without question better than Obama. Ron Paul please run again, please.
"Sound money" means gold and silver, which are all currently mostly owned by major banks and especially central banks.
We could return to "sound money" tomorrow and be in exactly the same position, because the major owners of "sound money" are the creators of today's "fiat money."
The question of whether a paper dollar is "backed" by gold or silver is basically irrelevant; the "backing" ended under Nixon and not much changed. Metal backing provides a limited check on money creation, but the paper "backed" by it can still be over-printed and over-leveraged, so it doesn't solve any fundamental problems.
The real question is WHO is allowed to print money and BY WHAT PROCESS. Is it private, undemocratic and unaccountable, or public, democratic and transparent?
I'm not sure where this theory comes from that you can't have an Empire if the currency is gold and silver. Wasn't the Spanish Empire based on gold and silver? Can't you "balance the budget" (and them some) by killing off the Incas and Aztecs and stealing *their* gold? By enslaving people and forcing them into mines? Did Alexander the Great have a Central Bank?____Nevertheless, thank you Dr. Paul for trying to end the Fed, because it is private, undemocatic, unaccountable and non-transparent.

text: Jack 5pts I don't know if teaching this technology since 1969 as an electrical engineer in a major technical school puts me in the expert category, according to Toyota's standards, but I believe that this experience, along with my history with many types of engine and drive combos, allow me to say with acccuracy that I can't calculate how the VOLT will be cost effective over a similar lifetime as the Prius. I am a Ford nut, but have had just about every possible type of vehicle from VW's squareback, 911,microbus, Many Ford full size and conversion vans, Lincolns,GMC buses, chevy P32 Motorhomes, and a Cessna super skymaster. So my MPG has varied from slightly more than 5 to 62.5MPG for land vehicles. So I traded in a windstar which was costing us $600+ PER MONTH in gas to a Prius which consistently gets 50+ MPG, now $30- 40 bucks every 2 weeks,. I actually got 62.5 MPG best over one day. So our annual gas savings since March 2+ years ago has been $6000+ PER YEAR!!! I only paid $15K for the Prius on ebay and maintenance has been minimal, so the savings in gas has already exceeded the cost of the car. Where Toyota falls short is in the finishing touches. The floor carpet lost the rubber spikes and NOW slides up under the gas pedal. I am taking it in for the recall. The rear hatch could have been better designed taking a slightly bigger piece of the roof. It has big cargo capacity but the hatch door is too low to allow higher cargo. The touring model we bought rides like a sports car, a little too stiff for comfort. NOW FOR THE VOLT I have lost my confidence in Motortrend because they made the Volt car of the year and should have tested it for a year or more to give the reader a better idea of the truth. Look at the Volt ad. Chevy leaves blank the most important specs which I would bet $1000 would show up as CONS after a year. Only 80 % of the LI battery capacity should be used. That is don't charge to 100% and discharge to 0%. Chevy mentions that the 40 mi on elec they get MAY NOT be achieved, nor should it be! If you run these batteries through complete cycles 100% to 0%,back and forth to get 40 mi, as they have been doing, the battery will fail in a short time. I'll bet the mi rating will be around 28 on elec. If you calculate how far the gas will take you from what they say, the gas mileage is less than 30. THIS IS FROM THEIR INFO!! So if you are paying 12 cents per KWhr, and you really get 28 miles out of it, AND you pay 3.00 per gal for gas, AND the gas miles are 300 per tankful, the ACTUAL MPG, including cost of electricity is a little over 30. YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT WILL TAKE OVER 10 YEARS TO CATCH UP TO THE SAVINGS FROM A PRIUS WHICH HAS GREATER CARGO SPACE, A LOWER OPERATING COST, PROVEN RELIABILITY, AND NOW HAS EVEN A LOWER COST! Many cars larger than the VOLT get better mileage, and cost less to buy and operate. REMEMBER, I AM STILL A FORD MAN, IN EXILE DRIVING A PRIUS...and saving enough for several vacations each year.

Describing yourself is always tricky. Can anyone really be objective? (especially on a dating site)
I love to dream, but I'm also grounded in reality. I do like to go out for a cocktail or two and have been known to have some fun, but I also appreciate being at home as well. I am a very social person who can get along with almost anyone, but I do like my alone time. I can appreciate fine dining and dive burger joints. I love football and have spent many hours watching it. I have a wicked sense of humor and I can laugh about pretty much everything. I am very straightforward. If you ask me a question, expect an honest answer. I like to hold hands. I love to kiss. I love flowers. I'm very much a romantic at heart.
I am a work in progress.
If you want to know more about me, just ask. I'm an open book.

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.
