SNELLVILLE -- Seven men, a few old, a few young, a few somewhere in the middle, hover around a pickup truck in a mostly abandoned parking lot late Wednesday afternoon.
They offer explanations of their nicknames, some harmless, some slightly more pejorative. They poke fun at each other, first the young at the old, then the old at the young.
The men, members of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department and Lawrenceville Police Department, good-naturedly squabble over the "best" warrants out of a stack of many, and only half-jokingly talk about looking forward to "the good ones," meaning those who will likely put up the most fight.
These are seven of an estimated 70 total officers on this night, the second of three evenings of a countywide warrant sweep. Representatives from the Gwinnett County Police Department and all of the county's city police departments worked together to pick up as many bad guys as possible.
They're split into teams and sent out with a stack full of warrants, a goal in mind and a preparedness for danger.
"We joke around a lot, kid a lot," said Gwinnett County Deputy Matt Van Buren, the leader of this particular team. "But when you get to the warrant serving part, the joking stops. We know what we've got to do.
"Serving warrants is probably the most dangerous thing out there. They know they're going to jail so they do a lot of running."
What Van Buren and his colleagues do on sweeps like this is simple. They pick a warrant, which could be for anything from speeding to aggravated assault, and try and "hit it"-- pick up the offender.
If they're not home, the warrant has a bad address or it otherwise doesn't work out (and it often doesn't), they set it aside for later and move on to the next.
"Every now and then they're just like, 'let's get caught up,'" Van Buren said. "So we've got every agency out there just seeing how many people we can lock up. We hit as many as we can and try and catch as many people as we can."
During this week's three-day sweep, officers from around Gwinnett County made 481 warrant attempts, serving 90 warrants and making a total of 77 arrests in what they called Operation Safe Streets.
Van Buren and his crew were about on par Wednesday. In the first four hours, they "hit" seven warrants, but missed on all of them -- they did pick up an incidental drug bust while attempting to serve one warrant.
The hit-and-miss aspect is part of the job though, Van Buren said, one that's not without reward.
"The community, the public, they love it," Van Buren said. "The little kids are coming out, they're shaking our hands. So that makes you feel pretty good. The public really likes it -- the good guys, anyway."
Later in the evening Wednesday, Van Buren's 7-year-old daughter calls, and presumably asks what he's doing on the other end. His answer is upbeat and simple, and the same one any member of his team would have replied with that night: "Trying to catch bad guys."

Memories of Christmas Past
With that peculiarity of memory experienced by those of us who are in the upper age bracket, my recollections of the past are now often sharper than those of yesterday. The events that have stuck most firmly come from my childhood, which was happy at home. Naturally, like most children, I enjoyed Christmas and that season embedded some strong memories.
Back then, in the very early 1960s, winters were more often snowy than not, unlike modern times. It leant a greater sense of rightness to Christmas. There were four of us siblings. Eldest was my sister Dorothy, then my brother Paul, followed by my sister Gillian and I was the youngest. Dorothy was often to be found looking after us while my Mother was busy with household chores. Paul was always the independent one, who went his own way in all things. He was also a walking disaster area much of the time, with a natural talent for breaking anything he touched. Gill and I were very close, demonstrated by our frequent verbal fisticuffs, and the amount of time we spent together, especially at Christmas, making things.
It has always been a delight for me, to look back and recall how Gill and I would sit on the floor, in front of a beautiful coke fire, with snow deep outside, manufacturing decorations like paper snowflakes, toilet roll middle and cotton wool snowmen, paper chains and various other things. We would often work in comfortable, companionable silence at such times. We must have made dozens of things over those years of childhood. It was wonderful, sitting thus, in the warm, often with delicious aromas of cooking drifting through from the kitchen whenever our Mum entered the room.
It may seem odd but the nature of presents I received are less clear in my memory. Despite an opinion amongst my siblings, that I was spoilt by my parents, I was rarely overly concerned about such things. Of course I would make a list, as we all did. Those lists would be put on the fire, to be carried up to Father Christmas by the brightly twinkling fire fairies who inhabit open fires. It was always exciting to see our lists consumed in flames and the contents rising with the aid of the tiny, spark-like fairies. But, while I may have expressed a desire for some toy or other, I can honestly say that I was never disappointed by any gift I received, and I certainly didn't receive everything I asked for.
In the run-up to Christmas, there were two treats we enjoyed thoroughly. First, we would make an expedition into town in the dark, to see the lights, and the giant Christmas Tree that was always gifted to the town by somewhere in Norway. We would also love seeing the hundreds of window displays, where window dressers had really put heart and soul into celebrating Christmas. The pinnacle of those displays was always one of the big windows in the large Co-operative (Co-op) department store. Second, we would be taken to see Father Christmas, who every child knew held court in the magical grotto to be found near the toy department of the Co-op. And it was magical! Their would be a cleverly constructed display of animated figures and objects, like scenes from the North Pole. They were amazing. Then, before leaving the grotto, we would discover Father Christmas himself. A big, jolly man seated waiting to meet the children. We would sit on his knee and the less shy children would confess to their secret Christmas wishes. Chuckling, he would perhaps reassure the child that they stood a good chance of their wish coming true and then delve into one of his huge sacks. He would bring out a small gift, properly wrapped in Christmas paper. I never knew a child to be unhappy with what they received.
When we were out and about in the dark evenings, we delighted in seeing Christmas lights or trees in windows. You never saw the big displays on houses back then, but some folk would put lights on trees in their gardens and, despite the fact that they were usually just plain light bulbs, we were always excited by such efforts. As the years passed, the number of homes that made a special effort to make their publicly visible decorations that touch more spectacular grew. I didn't recognise it then, though I do now, that the biggest efforts were always made when the news was bleakest, a rebelling against dark times. Speaking of dark times, it wasn't unusual for us to have power cuts during December. Most were the result of industrial action by trades unions in the electricity industry but there were a few that were the consequence of equipment failure. At such times, candles and a "tilly lamp" (a very efficient oil or paraffin lamp my Dad used when out fishing) would be fired up. The loss of television and radio (or wireless as it was then known) never really bothered us. We would entertain ourselves, often with card games. The worst bit of it was the loss of the colourful Christmas tree lights. The best of it was the sense of intimacy, a loving closeness, that would embrace us all.

SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine) is a naturally occurring compound found in all living organisms. In humans, SAM-e is distributed throughout the body and is involved in many important biochemical processes. Since significant amounts of SAM-e are not available through diet alone, the body is primarily responsible for producing its own SAM-e. Scientists know that SAM-e declines as people age and that certain groups of people, including those with low mood and liver conditions, tend to have lower levels of SAM-e in their bodies.
Mood Support - Enhances mood by promoting a healthy balance of neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin, which are part of overall healthy brain cell functions.
Joint Comfort - Relieves joint pain by helping to maintain joint cartilage which naturally deteriorates with physical activity and age.
Liver Health - Helps support detoxification and overall healthy liver functions.

View Website

Kihei Kai Nani Hotel Review: Just 25 minutes from the Kahului International Airport, Kihei is both sunny and centrally located. Busy South Kihei Road is lined with numerous vacation condominiums. Situated on the budget end of the scale, no place is more inviting than the Kihei Kai Nani, with its friendly management. Although all of the one-bedroom condos are individually owned, standards for upkeep are high. The décor and amenities often rival more expensive condo properties. Each spacious unit has a fully-equipped kitchen, living room with cable TV, private lanai and a master bedroom. Most of the units have air-conditioning, in addition to ceiling fans and a sofabed in the living room. Several restaurants are within walking distance of the Kihei Kai Nani, or you can take advantage of the outdoor barbecue grills. The golden sands of Kamaole Beach Park I, II and III are directly opposite the complex and draw many locals on weekends and holidays. Options for golf and tennis are nearby in Wailea, which features beautiful swimming and snorkeling beaches, as well.

It was very good and the staff were great. The biggest disappointment was that it was booked on line and when we arrived were told it had been rejected but we had not been notified in any way. This certainly gives the impression of being unprofessional

I think some people just have issues with the past themselves. They don't want to feel like the only ones that have screwed up beyond repair. That or they have problems sticking to their own business.
clinging to indignation creates a mirage of superiority
Because they are ********. They are vicious creatures that enjoy seeing others writhing in pain. Stay away from them.

Automated testing is a key technology being incorporated into the workings of the Joomla Bug Squad. At the present, this is a somewhatspecialized skill…
Specialized, indeed!
There is no glory in testing. There is no glamour in testing. But, there is tremendous value in testing. And extracting that value is what attracts us to testing.
Testing is a major PITA. It's easier to be casual about it. The problem with casual is that your live site becomes one huge test facility. Live sites cannot be fully simulated in tests, but doing as much testing as possible before the code hits your live site increases your chances of enjoying a smooth running, money-making live site.
As Alan Langford told me, it takes time and effort to set up testing. You have to code so that your code is test-able. The reward is two-fold: quality increases hugely which reduces your operational risk; and, subsequent testing becomes easier as the initial testing set-up is done.
Since testing is not glamourous, is not glorious, is usually thankless, and delays code getting to market, it's not only glossed over but it's a skill that only a subset of programmers have. Indeed, a "somewhat specialized skill".
As of February 2010, a tests folder has been added to the Joomla! SVN download. This folder contains a growing library of unit and system (or functional) tests. The unit tests use PHPUnit and the system tests use PHPUnit and Selenium. The unit tests perform tests primarily on the Joomla! framework. The Selenium system tests actually run Joomla! from a browser and test it as a user would.
Hmmm, does this mean that such testing was not part of Joomla 1.0 & Joomla 1.5? The implication is that the value of such testing is recognized to exceed its costs only recently. Regardless of when this recognition occurred, we should take the hint at Club Commerce!
I cannot emphasize enough that controlling the software development process offers massive RoI. Open source software gives us the right to control the code. But the huge value resides in the development process. That's the "Moneyball" aspect — the conventional wisdom is that the value is with the code. But the true value is the development process.
With a testing regimen, we can hire a ton of different programmers for a ton of different projects. The programmers code, and then we run their code through our tests. Code that passes is integrated into our codebase.
We need an explosion of features. So, our software development process must allow us to program an explosion of features. Up-front investment in testing allows us to achieve an explosion of testing.
Testing is a road less travelled, but rich in value. The Jenkins Server is mostly about testing.
I had no idea how deeply Alan Langford, a Founding Member, is involved with testing:
Ground work on the implementation of unit testing has been done by Enno Klasing during the Summer of Code 2007 project and has been perfected by Alan Langford from the Joomla! Development Team.
This is going to make your eyes glaze over:http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.pear.devel/43667
Last week, after we recorded our "The Bob Bloom Show" interview, we chatted for a half hour about LaSalleMart and testing. Alan agreed to do a special one-on-one podcast on testing and LaSalleMart, which we'll do in March. What prompted this post-show interview was something Alan said off-the-cuff at the recent Toronto Joomla meet-up about testing — which had nothing to do with Club Commerce or LaSalleMart.
Testing is something I did in a former life as a Business Analyst. Use-case testing, mostly, where you dream up phony numbers, manually calculate what the computer is supposed to spit out, then see if the system actually outputs those numbers. Well, we can do "use case" testing in automated tests, saving the hassle of foisting it onto end users.
So, we have a valuable testing skill-set here at Club Commerce. As much as I yearn for all the pet projects that are piling on already to be coded, I am going to devote myself to constructing the test environment. If this takes a couple of months, so be it, because the payoff is massive. We are going to be leaders in testing and Continuous Integration, with the payoff being the ability to accomodate an explosion of features — and getting this quality code to your sites so you can make money with these features.
It's going to be very interesting, and exciting, to put other extensions through our testing before you install them on your site. This is completely in keeping with the idea that GPL software is Raw Material.
I'm rushing this blog post, because I want to squeeze it in before publishing my already-late February Hangout podcast. So a few observations…
In order to bring an explosion of features to your live site, we need a software development process that accomodates a massive amount of programming.
This software development process, by definition, cannot be like the process other extension purveyors use — because those processes have left us yearning for features.
If the road well travelled has left us frustrated, then the road less travelled is where the pot of gold is.
Most people do not like to travel on the roads less travelled.
My Club Commerce is for site owners and consultants who realize they need to travel on the road less travelled. With 140 memberships available, this is not a mass marketed club.
The "Moneyball" attitude leads us to probe where the value really resides. We identify where the value really resides; and, then we become skilled at these things that build value.
Believe it or not, we've concluded that coding is over-rated!
The software development process is where the value is. And, the soul of value is Continuous Integration.
Continuous Integration = test + build.
Testing is a "somewhat specialized skill" — relatively few coders are skilled at testing.
"Build" has led us to the shocking conclusion of abandoning the Joomla installer!
The Fallacy of the One Big Zip file!
We have a surprising competency in testing at Club Commerce. The Toronto Joomla Group, of which we participate, has an unusual competency in testing. So, Club Commerce will be a leader in testing; and, in building ( = Continuous Integration).
So, despite an initial up-front investment of time/effort creating a CI environment, the payoff will be an explosion of features for you.
There are a lot of programmers. Hiring programmers should be easy. We will need money to hire programmers to code.
Club Commerce is a funding model to hire programmers!
There's an article about GitHub.com called "Lord of the Files" (clever!) athttp://m.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/02/github/all/1. My favourite quotes: "They weren't the only developers chafing under that Trusted Gatekeeper model of open source", and "It's the startup's outright hostility toward corporate command-and-control that really sets it apart… yet it's the most productive software development team he's ever worked on,".
My favourite quote from an article about how GitHub.com's software development,http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html is, "we deploy all the time… We don't really have 'releases' because we deploy to production every day – often several times a day". Yikes! How's that for "continuous"? No version numbers!

Keith Wardlaw sees beauty in the most basic objects.
The 25-year-old design specialist decorates his downtown studio apartment with clocks, lightbulbs, paintbrushes, blueprints, gym lockers and galvanized buckets filled with coils of thick rope.
"For some reason, I love rope," Wardlaw says. "It has great texture."
You'd expect Wardlaw's studio, with its concrete floors and exposed metal pipes, to be a cold, barren space. But it's supremely comfortable thanks to pops of warm color and tons of cozy texture in the form of plush rugs, felt pillows and piles of blankets.
"You can never have too many blankets," Wardlaw says.
Wardlaw's improbable industrial-meets-cozy style is exemplified on his website, plusmoderndesign.com, where you can buy furniture and home accessories that unfortunately do not include rope or galvanized buckets. But hey, that's what Home Depot's for.

The former Sobol furniture warehouse was auctioned off for $150,000 March 7. Photo by Joel Burgess
- Filed Under
A few minutes of rapid-fire banter was all it took to sell one of Black Mountain's largest buildings last week.
A small group of bidders at a March 7 owner-initiated auction settled on $150,000 for the former Sobol furniture warehouse at 141 S. Richardson Blvd. The winning bid by Joe Tyson was roughly one-tenth of the tax-assessed value for the 33,000-square-foot showroom and warehouse, which was listed at $1.4 million.
Tyson, whose downtown furniture business is based a block away on Broadway, said he was not sure how exactly he would use the building. ...

Newly-released figures show gains in bringing tourists to Puerto Rico. First quarter 2011 hotel occupancy rates show a four percent increase over 2010, and Puerto Rico tourism officials anticipate a three to four percent rise in total tourism visits this year, the Island's first increase in five year.
Mario González Lafuente, executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, attributes the lift in large part to PRTC's new Just Think, Puerto Rico marketing campaign and efforts by tourism industry partners including hotels, airlines and travel agents to showcase the Island's varied and unique offerings. The advertising campaign consists of print and television and launched in November 2010 at an event in New York City attended by González Lafuente and Puerto Rico's lieutenant governor, Kenneth McClintock.
"This year we launched the campaign earlier than we had in ten years, using multiple channels to reach specific niche markets. As a result, we saw a strong and early push in sales and reservations," said González Lafuente. "We are well on our way to accomplishing our growth expectations for the year, with a diversified offer and a variety of attractions."
González Lafuente also credits a strong online platform that anchors the Just Think, Puerto Rico campaign. Visits to seepuertorico.com have increased by two-thirds (66 percent) over 2010 and PRTC's Facebook page now boasts more than 40 thousand friends.
Following the global recession of 2009, Puerto Rico began an aggressive effort to form stronger relationships with travel partners to increase tourism to the Island. These endeavors are now yielding solid results. Air access to Puerto Rico has increased dramatically, with nine airlines currently providing 63 non-stop daily flights from 20 U.S. cities. British Airways recently began a new twice-weekly flight to the Island from London, and a new Puerto Rican charter, IDEO, began serving Spain in April.
Puerto Rico has also seen growth in cruise tourism to the Island since 2009. Last year, homeport visitors from cruise ships increased 34 percent. Puerto Rico is now served by 16 cruise lines and 43 ships, resulting in an average of 1.2 million visitors a year. Disney recently announced that its new ship, Fantasy, will be scheduling stops in Puerto Rico, and later this year Puerto Rico will host the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association convention.
New upscale resorts are also opening on the Island. During the past 18 months, the W Retreat & Spa in Vieques, the St. Regis Hotel in Rio Grande and the Sheraton at the Pedro Rosello González Convention Center in San Juan have begun welcoming guests, and the Vanderbilt in Condado and Ritz Carlton Reserve will open this year and next, respectively.
"This growth and these results – along with Travel & Leisure calling us the world's most searched island destination in the world and the readers of Caribbean Travel + Life voting us the best Caribbean travel destination – show that the world is rediscovering what we already know: Puerto Rico does it better," added González Lafuente.

SANTA FE (AP) — The Democratic-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez have not reached a deal on possible tax cuts as lawmakers approach the finish line of the 60-day legislative session.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat, said Thursday that talks continue with the Martinez administration about proposals to reduce taxes to encourage economic development in the state.
"We're still trying to work something out," Smith said in an interview. "The problem is we're running out of time."
Lawmakers adjourn on Saturday.
Martinez spokesman Enrique Knell said the governor wants lawmakers to "make job creation and education reform the priority" in the closing stretch of the legislative session.
"The notion that the Legislature does not have time to focus on efforts to help New Mexico small businesses grow and create more jobs is preposterous, given the types of legislation they are willing to stay late at night in order to pass," Knell said a day after the Senate had worked until nearly midnight, including to approve a legislative rule to potentially shield the email of lawmakers from disclosure through requests for public records.

Owner of a parody account on Twitter was raided by the police and his computers and mobile phones were seized. The reason? His account was mocking the town mayor.
The Journal Star is reporting that five people were taken by the Peoria Police earlier this week. "They just asked me about the Twitter account, if I knew anything about it," said 27-year-old Michelle Pratt.
When the officers arrived banging down her door, she was in the shower. They showed her a search warrant they had obtained and seized all the electronic devices with Internet access, saying that they were looking at her for an Internet crime that occurred in that particular residence.
"They brought me in like I was a criminal," she said.
The Twitter account in question is @Peoriamayor, which refers to Jim Ardis, the local city chief. The account has since been suspended.
While the owner of the account often posted messages alluding to drugs and other personal details, the profile clearly stated that it was a parody.
The police from Peoria is investigating a misdemeanor charge. It seems that impersonating a public official could get you a one-year jail sentence and a $2,500 fine (€1,809).
The captain is being cited as saying that someone had gone at great lengths to make it appear as if that was the actual mayor's account. This theory would hold had there not been the mention that it was a parody account.

Deborah Lippmann Get This Party Started Set
Let's get this party started right? Let's get this party started quickly…! Ooo re-living my 90's youth with a little C&C Music Factory. How retro!
Get This Party Started with the new Deborah Lippmann Set, because nothing says party like sparkling, glittery shades of nail polish!
Get This Party Started is a set of three glitters, inspired by the demand for Deborah's best-selling Happy Birthday, a party in a bottle. The set includes Happy Birthday, along with two new variations of the glittery shade: Forget You, with a black base, and Candy Shop, with a bubblegum-pink base.
"I love how festive all three look and feel, whether wrapped around a champagne glass or peeping out of a glamorous pump. But what I truly love the most: how a few coats of any shade instantly transforms you into the life of the party."-Deborah Lippmann
Even a non-nail girl like myself can get excited about these glittery bottles of nail polish!
Share it!
9/6/11 12:36 Tammie:
I just hope they release "candy shop" separately, I really like that one but I don't want the other 2!
9/6/11 19:06 laheelahee:
omg, i want it! i want it! i want it!
but its so fraking expensive T_T
9/6/11 20:33 1sorry_grrl:
I'm holding out for "Rainbow Connection" from up coming OPI Muppets collection.
9/11/11 2:55 Trina:
I picked up this set as a reword for completing a no-buy. LOVE the colors! But, honestly, Candy Shop is my favorite and I wish it were sold separately.

All Sewn Up: Millinery, Dressmaking, Clothing
and Costume
To access or cite this collection:http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/HumanEcol.MillineryBooks
About the Collection
Butterick Publishing Company / The new dressmaker
This digital collection includes millinery, dressmaking, clothing and costume books from the UW-Madison collections. These books from the first half of the 20th century (1907 – 1940's) include the history of clothing, styles of dress, fashion drawing, and design and construction of hats, clothing and costumes. Items in this collection will appeal to vintage clothing collectors, those studying costume design, fashion, and women's history, and those who just enjoy reminiscing about days gone by.
Millinery and dressmaking were popular professions for women in the decades before and just after the turn of the 20th century. The 1900 census1 reported 338,144 women dressmakers, 138,724 seamstresses, and 82,936 women milliners in the continental United States. Dressmaking ranked third, seamstressing ranked ninth, and millinery ranked fourteenth among occupations for women breadwinners.
Summer courses in millinery and dressmaking were offered by the Home Economics department of the UW-Madison's School of Agriculture during the 1910's and 1920's. Perhaps Miss Schmit, Miss Dodge, Miss Arbogast, Miss Musgrave or one of the other instructors introduced some of these books to their summer students. In any event, the digitized versions will serve to preserve millinery and dressmaking history and techiques, and reintroduce them to a new generation of scholars and practitioners.

Excellent! Very different way to bake/cool cheesecake -- makes the time lengthy. Taste & texture were great!flag if inappropriate
Coconut cream is found in the drink mixer section, like where the margarita mix and tonic waters are.flag if inappropriate
I will definitely be making this cheesecake again! Every time I make it, I get asked for the recipe. Like others of you I do bake it for an additional 15 minutes. I also like a little bit more coconut in my crust so I do add a bit more than the recipe calls for.flag if inappropriate
It is a keeper! I used low fat Neuchatel cheese but itherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Turned out amazing!!! Guests could not stop raving.flag if inappropriate
This was an absolutely wonderful cheesecake. I used an aluminum foil wrapped springform pan. Instead of graham crackers, I substituted chocolate wafers. Using low fat cream cheese, I also added about one third cup of toasted coconut to the batter. I have made cheesecakes for years and never added butter into the batter, but the result was smooth and very flavorful. I baked it in my convection oven and had to bake it almost 15 minutes more than the written time. I was worried it would be dry but the cake was still moist. Additionally, I made it the same day as it was served. Instead of using jam on the top, I mascerated sliced strawberries in some malibu rum and then decorated the top with those strawberies. The recipe is a keeper!!!flag if inappropriate
Another Winner from epicurious! I, as other reviewers suggested, added abit (1/2 teaspoon)of coconut extract to the batter...which along with the CocoLopez gave a mild coconut taste. Excellent!flag if inappropriate
This was AWESOME! Made it for Easter after grilling some lamb and asparagus. What a meal and what a finale. Used gingersnaps instead of graham crackers for the crust. Also took another reviewers suggestion and macerated the strawberries with a little sugar and rum. Topped each slice of cake with strawberry mixture and some toasted coconut. You must make this!flag if inappropriate
Very rich, but not dense. The women I served it to loved it. I used a 9 1/2 inch springform pan wrapped with heavy-duty (long) aluminum foil for placing in water bath. I used sweetened shredded coconut and used 3/4 cup sugar rather than 1 cup. I made about 3 layers of sliced strawberries on top, then mixed the left over jam sauce with the left over strawberries and used as a topping when cake was sliced and plated. It definitely needed another spoonful of strawberries to cut the richness of the cake. It is a recipe worth making again.flag if inappropriate
Cheesecake recipes don't come any better than this one. It is sublime, love that it doesn't need to sit for a day or two for the flavors to properly marry...serve it the day after you make it and it doesn't get any better, stays perfect. I do add toasted coconut to the batter at the end and use oreo cookie crust instead of graham crackers because I love chocolate crusts.flag if inappropriate
Great cheesecake recipe...I've tried several times to make a good cheesecake but they have never turned out great until this one. Mine are usually dry and heavy but this one was fantastic! I did use the waterbath and thanks to the cook from North Bend, Wa I didn't overbeat the batter. Some people were wondering why this recipe calls for cornstarch...it is not used as a thickener in this recipe. Cornstarch added to recipes makes them smoother and creamier. I really liked the coconut in the graham cracker crust and since I couldn't find unsweetened either, I just cut back on the sugar a little and it came out great. The only thing that was a little disappointing about this cheesecake is that it didn't have as much coconut flavor that I thought it would...I can understand why some cooks added the extract to the batter. However, since many people don't care for coconut, I think it appeals to more people they way the recipe is written. This will be the only cheesecake I make from now on.flag if inappropriate

Bulls Say
Competitors Matco and Mac Tools manufacture less than 50% of the tools they sell, limiting quality control compared with Snap-on, which produces around 70% of the tools sold by its franchised dealers.
Snap-on has several growth runways outside its traditional market, including aerospace, industrial, and oil and gas.
The company's high-margin diagnostics and information business continues to benefit from the transition toward increased vehicle computing power.
Read more
Bears Say
Snap-on has significant production capacity in Europe, where labor unions and consumer loyalty toward goods manufactured domestically complicate efforts to remove excess capacity.
Rising steel prices can threaten Snap-on's profitability in the near term, while earnings at its franchisees suffer from increases in fuel costs.
The company's U.S. dealer count fell precipitously in middle of the last decade. Although it appears to have stabilized, the inability to expand the network diligently over the long run could weigh on top-line growth and jeopardize Snap-on's market share.

Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik: Rosinsky is Game, He Will Come To Fight
Will Rosinsky isnt Andre Ward, Carl Froch, Lucian Bute or any of the other top super middleweights Kelly Pavlik hopes he eventually gets a chance to fight.
Rosinsky isnt Scott Sigmon, either.
The New York Fire Department EMT is somewhere between the A-level opponents Pavlik seeks and the C-level where the overmatched Sigmon operates. Rosinsky (16-1, 9 KOs) is just the type of foe Pavlik predicted he would fight during a post-fight interview with ESPN2 commentators right after the former middleweight champion dismantled Sigmon (22-4, 12 KOs) en route to a seventh-round technical knockout win June 8 in Las Vegas.
Rosinsky also fit within the budget constraints for the B side of an HBO Boxing After Dark co-feature (10 p.m. EDT/PDT), but Pavlik (39-2, 34 KOs) expects to encounter a very motivated man in their 10-round, 168-pound fight Saturday night at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
