One Minute!
No, please, don't tell me all
Your trouble,
I have my own,
Whiskey on the double,
You can't hear...I don't beer!
Get off! Sweat loaf!
Out of my wall
Did not see all, your sex-nimal,
So I delet
I live to be...I be to live
You, life to brag
Say one bag, and tag
Your bra
Lost none, you've done
One minute in Mardi-grass.

If there's one question that will no longer be asked the remainder of this season, it's "What is wrong with Catholic High of New Iberia?"
After dominating Loreauville, the state's No. 1-ranked team in Class 2A, in every facet of the game en route to a 51-8 crushing of the Tigers on Friday to win the District 5-2A championship, the Panthers have sent a message they are everything people thought they'd be prior to the start of the season.

1010 Sombrillo Court Apt 212, Los Alamos, NM.
Established for seniors who require longer term care, nursing homes in Sombrillo equip older people with specialist health assistance. Governed by federal and state legislation, these long term care facilities must be licensed and every resident has to be evaluated to establish their unique capabilities and medical needs. Nursing homes are very much akin to retirement centers because residents can take advantage of socialising with others and take part in activities and exercise. However, they are also provided with additional health care combining areas like nutritional care, rehabilitation and mobility. Nurses help residents with elementary tasks like visiting the bathroom, showering and changing.
Elder care in Sombrillo is diverse - there is an array of options that seniors can go for extending from 24 hour retirement centers and adult day facilities to respite care and nursing homes. The decision you take can only be made by you. If you want to get to know other seniors in a relaxed setting then a retirement home is a superb option. On the other hand you can still meet other seniors, eat together and play games at day centers where you have the opportunity to stay for the day, a few hours or even minutes. Nursing homes are a superb fit for senior citizens with longer term health concerns, such as back pain, Alzheimer's, arthritis, heart disease or diabetes. Here you will be surrounded by healthcare experts and physicians.
There are a mix of varied assisted living facilities in Sombrillo that boast a bundle of features. A number of them are made up of private spaces that have their own bathroom and bedroom as well as a living space and kitchenette. However, other sorts of facilities exist where residents reside in dormitory style buildings in single rooms like a hotel. Common areas for socialising are found in most varieties of assisted living centers and trained staff are usually on hand to support residents who ask for help.
If you have been told you have arthritis or maladies that affect movement, a mobility device is extremely important in maintaining your independence level. Sombrillo retirement homes always allow access for walking sticks, lift chairs, wheelchairs, crutches or zimmerframes that assist movement. Lots of retirement homes will be adapted for users of wheelchairs and lift chairs with padding will be available to assist those who need help to stand up from a seated position. Ensuring your unique needs are discussed is recommended because each retirement home is different from place to place, however most facilities will be happy to oblige in the main.
Retirement communities make it so that you never have to live your senior years alone. From independent living, assisted living, continuing care communities and active adult communities, there is bound to be the perfect facility for everyone. With the chance to utilize tennis courts, pools and biking paths, retirement communities for active seniors include fitness and sport at the top of the agenda. At the same time other communities are relaxed in their outlook and encourage residents to eat together, play games and enjoy each others company. Elegant dining rooms, en suite bedrooms and shared kitchen spaces make other Sombrillo retirement communities outstanding for people who enjoy spending time away from others in a welcoming atmosphere.
It is tough, hard work and tiring to care for a family member who has health problems for a long time. Despite the fact that it can be upsetting to let someone else care for your elderly relative, you do need a little break once in a while to recharge your batteries - Sombrillo respite care is the ideal solution. This service can be done in your home or you can select residential respite care where your loved one can stay overnight. If you are looking to go on holiday or make a business trip you can have the peace of mind that your elderly parents or indeed any senior in your family set up is being taken care of responsibly and professionally.
Currently a cure for Alzheimer's disease does not exist but drug treatments can be prescribed by doctors that allay some symptoms and hinder its progression. These therapies can steady a number of symptoms for six months to a year in some instances.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be spending Labor Day weekend in Philly.
The band is bringing the Wrecking Ball Tour to Citizens Bank Park on Sunday, Sept. 2. Tickets for the show will go on sale next Saturday.
The New Jersey native also added three dates at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford: Sept. 19th, 21st and 22nd. The tour's title comes from a song that Springsteen and the group performed in 2009 before the old Giants Stadium was torn down.
There's no sign Springsteen is answering Gov. Chris Christie's request to help Atlantic City by performing at the new Revel casino on Labor Day weekend.

It seems as if our great nation is constantly flubbing its nose at God, his holy word and literally much of what he stands for. In a cursory reading of the Bible there are many occasions when God brings judgment on his own people when they are disobedient to his word. Sometimes he brings it from within, sometimes from God's own enemy and sometimes both.
But the word says "be sure your sin will find you out." We may think we are getting by with it and not in harm's way, but we may possibly be closer to judgment than any of us think. The coming election may have an effect. It may bring it on or it may postpone it. I am hoping for a postponement or maybe an outright stop. Let's pray God's blessing on our country and the coming election.

text: New photos reveal 'hidden' stars in the North American Nebula Science 11 February 11 by Liat Clark North American NebulaThis image combines visible and infrared light observations. The North American continent outline is visible in blue (the visible light) and the hundreds of newly visible stars and dust clouds are illuminated in red and green. Dark bands remain in the Gulf of Mexico region where dust is too dense for the Spitzer to penetrate. Young stars are clustered throughout, while stars of between three and five millions years old are concentrated in the upper right bluish area.NASA Two thousand new stars in the North American and Pelican Nebulae have been made visible using an infrared telescope -- ten times the amount photographed in ordinary light.The new photos released today by NASA show an incredible display of dust and stars captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope in California. Young stars (around a million years old) are rarely visible using ordinary methods because of clouds of dust particles that typically surround and camouflage them."One of the things that makes me so excited about this image is how different it is from the visible image, and how much more we can see," said Luisa Rebull, research scientist at the Spitzer Science Centre and author of a paper on the nebula due to be published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. "The Spitzer image reveals a wealth of detail about the dust and the young stars here… You can see through things that are totally opaque in the optical, one of the main advantages of infrared data."As a result, the image is almost unrecognisable from the visible light images in which the nebula resembles the North American continent. Using 24-micron infrared light the Spitzer telescope penetrates the dusts clouds (which become transparent) and reveals a map of stars young and old which will, after further study, help researchers better identify the nebula's as yet unknown distance from Earth (it is estimated to be around 1,800 light-years)When Rebull and her team assembled different combinations of images captured by the Digitized Sky Survey and new images from the Spitzer Space Telescope, stars became visible at all stages of development -- stars surrounded by dust at birth, stars with disks of gas emitted around them and mature stars surrounded by developing planets.Although the nebula is partially lit up so startlingly by the bright Deneb star in its midst, the new images revealed an illumination seemingly coming from behind what is casually referred to as the Gulf of Mexico region. This new image supports current theories that there is a group of adult stars behind the Nebula, supplying it with its power source. The new images have also helped clear up which stars visible in photos of the nebula are part of the group of young stars, and which are older and unrelated stars interfering with the image.Click on the gallery below to see high-definition images of the nebula in different lights.

My Kitchen Rules – The Tassie Team Is Back
To be honest in this year's My Kitchen Rules I did not think any of the teams deserved a second chance to get back into the competition, but hopefully I will be proved wrong.
The recap is not happening today guys because of the Logies. Ironically I was not going to watch the Logies at all but as soon as the first category was Most Popular Reality TV Program I was hooked for the full interminable broadcast.
So apologies – so I am throwing it across to you guys to tell me what you thought of the episode. Highlights and lowlights? Whether you thought Matt and Mick were the best team to get back in? Whether gamer dude Keiran from Western Australia should have been there in the first place and should Colin Fassnidge host an Australian version of Hell's Kitchen.
Speaking of Colin there was an article this weekend about how he was told to stop responding to people who were bitching about him on the social media. He and Channel Seven should be happy the viewers are talking about him as this is a positive thing, as none of the other judges on the who have ever created much chatter. So in that way Colin is doing a good job. Source: (News.com.au)

I absolutely loved tonight's episode. Colin was great – no biased comments or favourism for him. Can we replace Manu or Pete (preferably Pete) with him to judge fulltime instead?
On a fan girl note and I'll make it brief, I'm so happy to see Mick and Matt back. I just love them (especially Matt). Matt can cook, I don't care what anyone says. Yes I have a huge crush on him. No more needs to be said. 😉
So refreshing to see an episode with no nasty remarks, snobiness or Asian dishes for a change too.
Kieran was slow as per usual, the 'Yes Chef' thing was annoying and I wish Mick smacked Angela with that frypan because she was annoying me with her mood swings. Pete is getting more orange with each episode, and the word "moist" was said more than enough by everyone tonight to disturb me for many years to follow.
I knew Ali and Samuel were going to be the first eliminated as in that clip we saw a couple of weeks back, they weren't featured. I did feel for her when her sorbet didn't set. It would have been heartbreaking to know you had a chance to re-enter the competition and then blow it so suddenly with one thing. Kieran is just too slow for this competition and he and Mary lack coordination, Colin knows this, hence why they were eliminated.
I have a feeling Colin had lined up 4 types of meats and the teams had to decide between each other who was cooking what. Yeah right did they all magically pick a different meat each before being given the options.
I read this article just before and it states that Mick and Matt are back in the MKR competition but from what I thought is that they have to cook again with Angela and Melina in the next round of 'Comeback Kitchen'? I'm confused!
- 2 chasingvegas { 04.08.13 at 8:52 am }
I don't think Mick & Matt are back in for sure, they along with Angel & Melina are still in the running to get back in. Apparently they face off against each eliminated team in the comeback kitchen each week until one team is left standing & then they go back in.
- 3 Anna { 04.08.13 at 8:53 am }
Guessing that News Limited are a week ahead of themselves or teasing the viewers
- 4 A.P { 04.08.13 at 8:59 am }
Kieran is really out of his depth, I got the feeling he was hoping he would go first instead of Ali and Samuel. He just can't take the stress.
Angela and Melina didn't like having to say "Yes Chef" and listen to a professional giving them advice.
Matt and Mick were a bit smug thinking they had everything under control until Colin told them not to start cooking the fish too early.
Poor Kieran was confused about the meaning of "3 beef, one well done", he didn't quite understand poor thing.
The ham acting was pathetic, "gee, wonder why we have been brought here to Colin's kitchen followed by a camera crew?"
Customers obviously wanted a cheap or free meal, why would they pay too much when they can get away with it?
- 5 PollyB { 04.08.13 at 9:01 am }
I enjoyed this episode being in a real kitchen and about cooking. M&M deserved the win, they did cook the best. Ali's sorbet had alochol in it so maybe too much of it was the reason it didn't freeze. Kieran was unbelievably pathetic in the kitchen again. He must be stoned, or because he is not stoned he is way out of his comfort zone. I was surprised at Angela, she showed very strong spoilt princess tendencies last night.
- 6 Anna { 04.08.13 at 9:02 am }
Contestants must have told producers what they wanted to cook & the COLES crap was stored out the back for them.
Colin grows some of his own veggies, makes his own honey & passionate about the produce. Coles crap wouldn't be found in his kitchen …. Campbell's stock? In a professional kitchen? REALLY?
- 7 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 9:04 am }
And Kieran so want to be a professional chef. LOL

Good review Layla.
- 9 Daisy { 04.08.13 at 9:13 am }
It was a bit unfair that you were supposed to hurry but could stuff up another team's dish by being too slow, and making theirs go cold. It might work like that in a real kitchen but it seemed a bit unfair last night.
- 10 Georgie { 04.08.13 at 9:22 am }
I laughed till I cried in the first elimination round. The chaos in the kitchen was so funny and A&M's raw lamb on top of that dreadful looking risotto slop was hilarious. I thought they'd be the ones going home just because of how bad it looked.
Agree PollyB, it would be the vodka that stopped Ali's sorbet from setting. Also agree Angela has some attitude issues.
- 11 Veronica { 04.08.13 at 9:24 am }
I don't care for parochialism and Tassie Dad lays it on In spades. I wonder what will happen next time he has to cook something other than fish?
The Italian girls are a constant disappointment. Maybe they've been told they're great cooks and believe it.
- 12 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 9:33 am }
Morning everyone, hope you sorted your power problems, Daisy. I, too enjoyed last night's show and especially Colin. I know he is getting heaps of criticism about how hard he is but welcome to the real world in a commercial kitchen. It is the only way that dishes can all go out at the same time to each table.
M&M's dishes where by far the best and they lapped up all the advise Colin gave them unlike the others.
My ideal scenario coming up would be that A&S were eliminated in Broome and fronted up in Colin's kitchen and the look on their faces at seeing A&M would be priceless. It would be a rating rage I reckon.
- 13 Gabby { 04.08.13 at 9:41 am }
Agree Veronica the Italian girls are a great disappointment and have failedntondeliver most times they have cooked. That first dish of lamb and red wine risotto looked disgusting, I was sure that would send them home. Maybe they are keeping them in to bring a bit of glamour. Angela definitely does not like bowing down to anyone let alone a man, I thought her and Colin were going to get the boxing gloves out at one stage. I laughed when Nastasia said they were scared of Colin. I don't blame her, he was one mean barstard in that kitchen, I would have been scared as well. As for Keiran, he is bloody hopeless, bless him, sadly I don't see him running his own kitchen any time in the near future.
It was good to see Pete and Manu doing blind tasting for a change, should be more of it.
Refreshing that we didn't have to put up with the dreadful voices of A & S. Wait until they hear that the Italian girls are in with a chance again, won't they have something rude, crude and vile to say about that.
- 14 Veronica { 04.08.13 at 9:43 am }
Yes Nanaliz that would be worth watching just to see the looks on A & S faces.
- 15 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 10:08 am }
I read somewhere that the other contestants know nothing of the come-back kitchen going on and won't until o team re-enters the comp.
S&C were smoozing with Manu at Logies ch7 after-party. I have this feeling they may be there close to the end, the way ch7 seem to be using them for PR. They joined D&S and J&E in a gig in Brissy recently.
- 16 Suziekue { 04.08.13 at 10:14 am }
I'm betting the Italian women will be staying in whatever slop they serve up. MKR need the continuing drama between them and Tatts&Braces (the Asian v. Italian women, Golo – how could I not leave some bait out for you). I saw a rerun of the kiddies Ma$terchef last week – their food rang rings round the garbage coming out of this season's MKR kitchens.
- 17 A.P { 04.08.13 at 10:14 am }
Agree Gabby@13, Angela and Melina should have gone home first, that risotto and raw meat looked disgusting.
Pete and Manu probably guessed who cooked the fish, thats all the Tassie boys can do.
- 18 LizzieLou { 04.08.13 at 10:18 am }
Is this rigged?!! I may have missed it but I don't think Colin announced how much money each team made – meaning the results weren't transparent.
Having said that, I'm glad K&N went for good – they were in over their heads.
- 19 Suziekue { 04.08.13 at 10:19 am }
Sheesh I hate it when I can see the puppeteer AND the puppet strings……

Rofl bdd, you're so funny. No AA for Ali then!
- 22 littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 11:08 am }
Will try again.
Its confirmed that A&M and M&M will be cooking against this week eliminated team in the Komback kitchen. Just heard an interview with Melina.
Fancy paying $15 for the fish. Either the fish was crap or the customers were cheapskate. More of the later I think.
- 23 brain dead dave { 04.08.13 at 11:27 am }
The food was garbage though it did seem Colin's "coostemers" were tighter than a crab's arse. What a shit sandwich.
I keep Vodka in the freezer, Georgie. Colder the better.
- 24 Samiiluvbugg { 04.08.13 at 11:33 am }
I agree with RR on this statement 'I did not think any of the teams deserved a second chance to get back into the competition, but hopefully I will be proved wrong'
The Taz Boys are BACK?! Wow didnt watch the end of it, To many shows to watch….Well good on them, they deserve to b there…Besides i dotn like the 'second chances thingy'
WA 'the Nerds' dont like them at all, they shouldnt even b on the cooking show, they dno how to cook…Stick to computers guys!
Colin the chef n judge, not to sure if i like him or not =s I dont like it how his rude to the teams (as a chef) but i like how he judges….So i think he should just stick to that for now lol
- 25 littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 11:36 am }
Luvbug/Sandra, LOL. No the Tassie boys are not back yet. They still have to compete against Angela and Melina and the next eliminated team
- 26 Reality Raver { 04.08.13 at 11:43 am }
Whoops I am giving out spoilers, Colin let it slip in an interview but maybe it was about them just getting a second chance.
Thanks for comments guys. I don't normally delve into ratings too much but thought you might be interested in last nights. The Voice 1.8 million, MKR 1.4 million and The Biggest Loser 850,000.

- 28 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 11:53 am }
I will be interesting to see what happens with ratings tonight. First night of Voice was always going to rate well. Many would watch just to see if they are going to like it this year. Perhaps that is why they used Come-back kitchen concept so not wasting 'drama' of other eps.
- 29 Veronica { 04.08.13 at 11:54 am }
There are a lot of well priced restaurants around that part of Sydney so, I don't thing the customers were being cheap, just paying what they thought the meals were worth.
Putting aside Colin's table terrible manners, I like him. At least he doesn't give praise were it's not due. Would love to see him as a full time judge as I haven't liked Manu and Pete very much this series.
- 30 Georgie { 04.08.13 at 11:59 am }
Given that MKR isn't normally on a Sunday night, 1.4mil viewers must have made a serious dent in what The Voice would have pulled on their first night otherwise. The Comeback Kitchen Curveball.
- 31 littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 12:03 pm }
This is what Colin restaurant will charge for mains (I guess Large Plates mean Mains)
Large Plates
Salted Fish and Batlow Apple Cider Sauce
Ocean Trout
Citrus Stock, White Beans and Fennel
Roast Pork
Smoked Kipflers and Rhubarb
So $15 for the Mains must be a 'bad' mains. I don't think you can get Salmon as a Main for $15
- 32 Anna { 04.08.13 at 12:22 pm }
Veronica, have to dissagree! A lot of restaurants in Surry Hills, but not all good. Colin's 4/14 is high end & not that expensive for what you get…
Customer paying $15 for fish is cheap … She cannot get a piece of fresh fish at the shops for $15.
- 33 layla { 04.08.13 at 1:01 pm }
The customers didn't have to pay as much as they usual would for a meal at his restaurant because they would have been told beforehand that their meals were being cooked from home cooks in MKR and not with Colin's usual chefs. The production team would have supplied all the food and paid Colin to use his kitchen so he wouldn't have lost any profit that night doing what he did.
Didn't they show some fat woman pay only $12 for the fish? What a piece of work…
There's a place I go to in St Kilda called "Lentil as Anything" and it's one of those pay what you wish places. I always pay them at least $15 when I go there, even for a basic curry cause I feel bad otherwise. LOL. It's interesting. I dunno how they stay in business but the place is always so busy when I go there. I'm sure some use it as a soup kitchen though.
Well from that screen cap I posted of Ashlee having a sook a few weeks back, it looks like they're going to be in sudden death again as they wore white aprons when they versed Andi and Josh the other week but were wearing black ones in the screen cap. I really hope they're booted off the show and forced to cook against Melina and Angela in the Comeback Kitchen. I hope Mick and Matt get through in the end because they're the only team that deserve another chance. Angela and Melina have stuffed up too many times already to show they can't really cook that well.
As for Colin responding to hate from fans, I hope he learns to ignore them as I think he's great. I hope he stays on for the next series because we need a guy like him in the competition! I wouldn't take too seriously to the insults from fans on fb anyway. From what I've seen, most of them are stay at home mothers with nothing better to do with their time than whinge on fb all day.

In the New Idea today Dan and Steph are being trained by the Bondi Boys on how to lose weight and its working for them which is good.
They have all become good friends, Dan and Steph have jumped on the quinoa bandwagon and say healthy food can be tasty.
- 41 Anna { 04.08.13 at 2:06 pm }
I love quinoa! Eat it almost daily… still to try black quinoa, always have supply of red and white at home…

I guess the ultimate cook off will be between Braces and Tatts and the Bondi Boys!

Maybe Sophia is a bit of an octopus?
- 45 VioletsRBlue { 04.08.13 at 2:36 pm }
I quite liked the Italian mumas but gee they are really terrible cooks! Everytime I'm hoping that they will dish something amazing but I'm disappointed every time! I am over them now and found them annoying last night. I think that they enough chances.
I did not like the presentation of the Tassie boys desert, it looked cheesy! But they did well compared to the other teams.
I really liked Colin giving them tangible advice on how to improve their dishes. It was very constructive and much more useful than the usual advice that Peter or Manu give them. I think that they would learn much more if Colin was the 'regular' judge. I find P&M advice quite useless most of the time.
- 46 Tyroc { 04.08.13 at 2:39 pm }
I thought Scott batted for the other team…Maybe she's his beard ?
- 47 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 2:40 pm }
I don't think octopus is healthy enough for Scott. Too much cholesterol. But hey he into exercise!

Mr. Media Career and his hopeless excuse of a mute son are back. Yippee.
Channel 7 could have redeemed themselves by bringing Jessie and Biswa back and showing them proper respect the second time around. Guess that is too much to ask for.
- 50 Anna { 04.08.13 at 2:48 pm }
She does like blue eyes… has a crush on Pete and used to have one on Colin LOL Until Colin gave her a low score for her crap cooking
- 51 layla { 04.08.13 at 3:23 pm }
LOL Golo I love your description of Matt, so spot on! 😉
Yes, it doesn't matter if Jessie and Biswa showed no respect for anyone else, as long as we show respect to them. I conquer.
Happy to see Dan and Steph have changed their ways with food, mind you I don't think since their instant restaurants that they've cooked anything too bad, butgood for good them. I'm going back to the fatty club (Weight Watchers) myself this week, I am NOT looking forward to it…
Scott is straight Tyroc, Luke is the one who we discovered who is gay.
- 52 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 3:41 pm }
Kerry is to be on Sunrise tomorrow after her collapse tonight so I am assuming she & Craig drop out and there is still someone in line for elimination cook-off. The Come-back kitchen was probably filmed after the Broome week so someone could come back to get number of eps right again. Broome was filmed in November when it is in build-up to 'wet season' so very hot and humid. I can't understand why they didn't have covers over each work station, just from health and safety point of view.
- 53 brain dead dave { 04.08.13 at 4:18 pm }
I'm wondering with the awesome surprise and spontaneous nature of Kom back Kitchen why the young son of Ta$$ie Pops was already packing the blue sticking plaster?
Are lacerations on the cards when one is preparing mousse?
Hurry up and faint , Kerrie. Get it over with. It's been dragged out longer than a Cagney death scene. In the Broome sun in November, sheer stupidity at work, producers.
- 54 littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 4:26 pm }
Broome episode was filmed between 20 to 22 Nov.
I think the first Komback Kitchen was filmed before the Broome episode.
BDD-You forgot about the team that traveled business or first class. We can rule out Angela and Melina. Must be Kerrie and Craig.
- 55 Rosie { 04.08.13 at 4:28 pm }
>>Channel 7 could have redeemed themselves by bringing Jessie and Biswa back and showing them proper respect the second time around. Guess that is too much to ask for.<<
Golo, had you paid attention last night, you'd realise that only the teams that were eliminated from the MKR kitchens were invited to recompete. And since Jessie and Biswa's woeful cooking didn't get them that far…
I also want to add my praise for Colin. A chef who says what he thinks – good on yer, mate!
- 56 Samiiluvbugg { 04.08.13 at 4:34 pm }
Rosie 5:- I agree with ya when u stated this about Colin 'A chef who says what he thinks – good on yer, mate!
He should stick to it, He doesnt have favourites like ive seen P&M have!! I like the sruffy look too hehe….

They must go somewhere else besides Broome as there aren't grape vines around there. Margaret River ,maybe.

I just re-clicked the link I posted this morning and it's been reworded to now say that Mick and Matt along with Melina and Angela have a chance to re-enter the MKR competition and will be cooking against the next eliminated team from this week. So I think the media jumped ahead of themselves with that previous article. What's the point of Mick and Matt "winning" that round if they have to cook again anyway? It should be Melina and Angela cooking against the next eliminated team and whoever wins out of those two then go on to face Mick and Matt for the possibility of re-entering the competition.
Dave, Matt was also chopping the vegies for the salmon dish.
Finally the desert episode is on tonight after waiting 263672 weeks. I'm intrigued to know what happens after Kerrie faints, surely they wouldn't have her cook again after that and she and Craig would be too far behind to start over. From the previews I've read, it looks like they'll be in Broome all week.
- 62 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 4:54 pm }
Colin said on Sunrise the other morning that as quickly as he washes his hair, make-up dept put product in it and it shines under lights. I have seen him with hair tied back when he is cooking in own restaurant and it looked clean then.

Thanks Littlepetal forthe price list. I still think the people seemed tight but since I didn't taste the food I don't know.
Nanaliz, liked your scenario for A&S. Could think of a few others myself, well mainy for Sophia.
CB thanks and THANKS ALOT for the imagery of Scott and Sophia. I just keep imagining those razor sharp teeth and BDDs friend.
Sammiluv, looks like you've found a new home.
Check your mail at the end of the week or thereabouts.
And BDD will Kerrie really faint?
- 66 brain dead dave { 04.08.13 at 5:28 pm }
Stick a B12 shot into Kerrie's ample arse and tell her to harden tf up. Zis is ze competition,gice.

The episode was entertaining, but the cooking itself was atrocious. Good grief, it really showed that none of these teams deserved to come back.
- 73 Danielle { 04.08.13 at 6:27 pm }
Are Sophia and Scott an item? He apparently broke up with his girlfriend and she got out of a long term relationship within the past year or so. She says she's too ugly to have a boyfriend or something like that. The article says no but they still made a headline!
I heard from Tassie father that A&M became not liked among contestants that episode shows why.
I really liked Ali and Samuel but they keep making stupid mistakes: ie vodka in a sorbet?!
- 74 Liberty { 04.08.13 at 6:31 pm }
Funniest comment of the night has to be from Mick and Matt about how they were doing better than the "mainlanders" even with their "two heads" lol. I did note that they were cooking fish, AGAIN, staying in their comfort zone.

But looking at this week's promo and the promo they did of the post-instant restaurant rounds weeks ago, the "outside town hall" challenge appears to be this week's Sudden Death challenge – and if memory serves me right, that means Jenna&Joanna and Kerrie&Craig will be the two teams who will lose Mon&Tuesday and face off on Wed.
- 77 Techhater { 04.08.13 at 6:49 pm }
Hey everyone just catching up with all ur comments. Have been laid up in bed all day with some bug. Just watching today/tonight interview with Matt Golezki, the chef who lost his family in that tragic house fire. It was interesting that he said George and Garry from MC and Manu all got their start on Ready, Steady Cook, and he was still waiting for his big break. Maybe producers could take note.
- 78 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 6:51 pm }
I like the honesty of the judges and also contestants don't mince there words in MC US. But the cooking is not that great at this stage
- 79 Anna { 04.08.13 at 6:54 pm }
Littlepetal, it's better then what our MC has dished out… Hope MC Professional is back next year. Hopefully with Marco as a host/mentor

Hope you feel better quickly TH. We have missed you today.
- 81 Techhater { 04.08.13 at 7:01 pm }
I'm loving MC US and Jnr MC for the first time as well as Marco's Kitchen Wars. And whoever posted earlier Jnr MC are better than this season MKR contestants I absolutely agree. Also luv the way Colin gave helpful advice on how to make each dish better.
- 82 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 7:04 pm }

Thnx everyone Anna next step is to run off with Marco. Lol. Not really could never leave Desi at least he lets me drool whenever he's on. HaHa:-S maybe we all caught the same bug from staying up so late and partying here.
- 88 A.P { 04.08.13 at 7:14 pm }
techhater@77, I'm watching that too. he said he's bringing out a book soon, maybe we should all buy it to support him after what he has gone through and yes, it would be good to see him on MKR or MC.
Hope you feeling better soon!
- 89 Anna { 04.08.13 at 7:17 pm }
techhater, run off with Marco? Now there is an idea 😉 LOL
As far as Matt Golinski is concerned, hope he makes a come back soon!
Before the accident he had his own catering company, wasn't running a kitchen in a restaurant. Hope one of his friends helps him out…
- 90 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 7:19 pm }
Other chefs have all chip in to raise fund for him. Manu is taking a group to France in June, I think and George and Gary another group in Sept. All fund raised will go to help him.

Littlepetal we can't give too much away but the last 2 dishes had no comments. Hmmm the mind boggles.
- 112 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 8:42 pm }
Now judges complained that it was too simple. They need to push themselves.
They didn't complained about simplicity in A&S mains in the sudden death cook off. Boom judges

The show has lost all credibility
- 118 Morgan { 04.08.13 at 9:11 pm }
So over it! Pete and Manu don't even try to hide their bias and double standards anymore! Ashlee and Sophia's dish looked so dry and was very basic. Luke and Scott continue to scrape by with their mediocre food. If Jenna and Joanna get eliminated this week I'm not watching anymore.
- 119 Morgan { 04.08.13 at 9:14 pm }
Wouldn't be surprised if Pete and Manu rigged the votes or convinced the people to vote for Ashlee and Sophia. Complete BS.
- 120 Anna { 04.08.13 at 9:33 pm }
Morgan, from what they showed of the voting not one person selected A&S dish. So how the hell did they manage to win is beyond me
Then the moronic Braces announced that no one is capable of beating them. If they win the comp then I'm not watching next season
When Pete & Manu were trying their dish it didn't look if they liked it…
- 121 nanaliz { 04.08.13 at 9:48 pm }
Wonder if there were any nudists (exhibitionists) lying on beach when camels walked passed. I have had the ah…pleasure or not.
- 122 layla { 04.08.13 at 9:51 pm }
Yeah well…what can be said really? Kerrie's "fainting" was over the top as per usual but making people cook over camp stoves in 35+ degree heat is a heat stroke episode waiting to happen. So at the same time I'm not surprised one of the contestants had to sit out for a bit.
It was so obvious it was planned to have Ashlee and Sophia catch the biggest fish… I mean they didn't even catch it. And the way she carried on like a 5 year old after their fisherman caught it for them was pathetic. You caught a fish, you didn't have the winning tattslotto ticket, so sit down before you lose your balance and fall out of the boat. Not going to lie, that would have been nice to see.
I felt for poor Jenna and Joanna (well Joanna), they had no choice in what seafood produce they had to use and it wasn't right to see them go through to sudden death. It's ridiculous that Luke and Scott continue to scrape through with basic dishes yet others before them have been eliminated for it. But we all know why that is…
So now we know that Ashlee and Sophia don't get along with Kerrie and Craig either it seems, as they were picked second last to Jenna and Joanna. Kerrie doesn't take me as the type to tolerate their childish behavior so it wouldn't surprise me if she's had a few words to them off screen that we don't know about as of yet.
They were risky to show an episode like this knowing that The Voice is airing at the same time, and it won't surprise me if people have switched over to ch9 now after all this Ashlee and Sophia BS we witnessed tonight. They only thing that can save this show from being smashed by ch9 in the ratings is bringing back Mick and Matt into the competition.
What annoys me most about this show apart from Pete and Manu's favourtism is the editing. I hate they how they have this huge build up of fake suspense waiting to find out how Pete and Manu are going to critique Ashlee and Sophia's food when we know they are obviously going to love it. That is more annoying than their kiss ass comments. Yes we know you love it, you refuse to fault them, say it and move on to the next team please.
- 123 LB { 04.08.13 at 9:52 pm }
It would be nice if there was some transparency in the voting for the alleged "People's Choice".
Diners have been served seven dishes & then have to remember who cooked it, rather than the dish (same as Melb Cup challenge).
Then P&M do some bs to try & create tension & then it gets flipped to Bangs & Braces again. If MKR were trying to maintain any semblance of "competition" they would at least read out the number of votes. Maybe just for the top three as this would take P&M "power" away in decreeing the weakest dish if they gave all the scores out.
It really is a farce now.
- 124 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 10:06 pm }
I used to love MKR but I hope The Voice has more viewers to teach C7 a lesson. The promo was building up to A&S failing this time and the reverse happened.
I also think there would be more confrontation between Kerrie and the brats. Carrie would not tolerate their nonsense.
I would have love to eat the stuffed squids. It will be deliciously.
- 125 Techhater { 04.08.13 at 10:12 pm }
Layla as soon as the fishing challenge was announced i thought great no chance for the Bratz but Desi said straight up they'll get the only fish, they'll pick J&J last and win people's choice. I think I might start placing bets on his predictions. LB ur right they should let us know what the tally was like they do on MC. Something really has to change or Ch7 will have another ratings disaster on its hands.
- 126 Christina { 04.08.13 at 10:14 pm }
Ouch Layla…your opinion of stay at home mums is pretty harsh. Am surprised no one has mentioned they found that offensive.
Good on Dan and Steph – they really seem to be making the most of this opportunity. Before I read anything on here, I actually thought Steph looked like she'd lost weight in tonight's episode but thought that would impossible being a cooking show! But perhaps the boys have helped them out? She is a gorgeous girl.
Am also enjoying Colin on the show. Nice balance.
- 127 Golo i Wesolo { 04.08.13 at 10:15 pm }
The racist remarks have reignited here again, right on cue too.
The only reason you are all enamoured by Colin is because he is just as racist and pathetic as you lot. Giving A&S shit scores when their food is far superior to all the other contestants?
Typical white trash.
- 128 Daisy { 04.08.13 at 10:16 pm }
Still cooking here. Kerrie has 'fainted' yet. Pete and Manu are going on about how hot it is.
Guess what who doesn't know that Broome is hot, hot, hot. MKR can afford canopies/umbrellas or something, but no, let's make them cook in hte baking sun so that they fall apart. They would have been so sunburnt.
- 129 Daisy { 04.08.13 at 10:18 pm }
Hey Golo, I watched Community on SBS tonight. I got a line from it and I was saving it for you.
"Anti-racism is the new racism".
- 130 Jaycee47 { 04.08.13 at 10:18 pm }
Couldn't agree more Layla and LB. Noticed Braces had braces off….was able to be understood a little better.
Am fed up also with the way this show is going….Am ready to switch off permanently. Been watching Top Chef (from Seattle) and also Masterchef USA and boy, do those US contestants swear! It is all bleeps. At least the producers don't carry on with all the crap that occurs with MC and MKR. Think I will get my fix via Foxtel instead of the pantomime that this show has become. I realise that they have to create a bit of drama but the way they are editing and the to-camera pieces is utterly off-putting. The Yanks don't have the to-camera stuff….only a few grabs in the whole show and it's not the bleating obvious of …"we have to really nail this or we are out!" stuff.
Then again if it wasn't so pathetic there wouldn't be as many comments on RR. Let's hope gice that you all stick to the topic here and not like the hundreds the other night that didn't refer to the show at all.
Still trying to come to grips with Braces and Scott!!! Maybe BDD that's why the Braces are off!
- 131 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 10:20 pm }
nanaliz-I have encounter nudists in one of my morning walk at one of the beaches at the Central Coast. Don't know where to look.
- 132 Daisy { 04.08.13 at 10:21 pm }
Layla do you reckon Manu put that fisn on A&S's line. It was a pretty convenient 'win' for the plot.
At the very least the local fishermen would know the best spots.
- 133 Littlepetal { 04.08.13 at 10:25 pm }
Was the braces off? I didn't even notice as I wasn't watching. She sounded worse today. Really can't stand the way she speaks.

Nanaliz that would've been a much better "flash" surprise than the "flop" non-event of Kerry's.

It is particularly hard to know where to look,LP especially when you are on the back of a camel, but one guy in our group said loudly "yeah I'd hide my face too". Guy was gone when we came back. It was really hilarious.

Tuned in when Kerrie had her"turn". Of course it was going to happen. As already mentioned what about OHS? I wonder what their insurance premiums are.
But something isn't adding up. These people can barely cook but managed to produce edible food under horrendous conditions. the same thing happened at Melbourne Cup. Everything was great. Yeah right!!!
Also it did not look like there was enough food for everyone to try. How could they really judge what was the best? Did they show how much was eaten? Especially as Manu and Pete got a plate of everything.

What is this Golo i Wesolo?!
Are you in "LOVEeeeee" with Ash & Soph, like that sleazy hyperventilating green sock that works for Telstra in those nauseating commercials that keep sucking up my LCD every other night while Manu & Pete keep salivating about the babes…
Seriously, Golo, please accept the fact that Adolf Eichmann is your father and that unfortunately Mossad was unable to capture him before he impregnated your suffering mother.
After tonight's rigged MKR Ash & Soph setup…
Golo I Wesolo, " go f@#k yourself with a Chefs knife up your bleached toilet paper friendly hole".

Christina@126. My comment was meant to be harsh. Not generalising all, just the ones that find sitting on fb all day more important then running a household.
Daisy@132 the fish was probably hooked to the rod from the beginning.
Do you think Colin and co would fly all the way to Broome to film an elimination challenge though?
I posted a link to this Scott and Sophia story earlier and he said there's no truth to it and right now I believe him. He has 2 young kids and I don't see Sophia as the type to date someone with kids since seems to like all the attention focused on herself at all times. She wouldn't stand to someone putting their kids first before her.

Daisy @141, I'm pretty sure the braces are still there – at least the bottom ones as I saw a screen grab tweeted tonight with one of her horrendous facial contortions as she speaks & they were visible then. Don't know about the upper ones.
- 147 Daisy { 04.08.13 at 11:53 pm }
Yes LB I saw the upper braces still on the piranha.

Maybe she could land a job on a crime show called "Without A Brace".
At least the subordinate dog Tatts gave it to her straight~ "It's the way you say it". In one brace and out the other.

hahaha, BDD, colins coostumers tighter than a crab's arse. I reckon!! Where do they dig these "guests" up from anyway? They were very mean when it came to paying for what they had. The salmon the tassie boys knocked up did look mighty fine. Christ on a bike, Keiran was killing me – if he moved any slower he'd be in reverse. What's her name anastassia, natasia, got a blank, she was good, and I reckon if she had a better partner she would have done a lot better in the whole comp. I have no doubt the bearded one can knock up a 12 hour slow roasted pigs head for four but get with the program mate, you got a time limit here so your faffing around and "how many well done steaks and how many medium, ah I dont know what he means" comments were KILLING ME!!!
- 150 LB { 04.09.13 at 12:49 am }
Yep BDD, it was pretty telling when her BFF babes turned on her for the way Ashlee was speaking to her.
Hmmm, I wonder if that was racist of her, or Sophia was just doing what everybody else has been doing – calling her out for being an immature, self-centered, self-entitled, rude person?
- 151 Moonstruck { 04.09.13 at 1:02 am }
LB@149 it's amazing what people will put up with for sake of 125,000.
- 152 cuisinaire { 04.09.13 at 2:12 am }
nanaliz, unless the the nude beach no longer exists, it is some distance from where the cooking was "staged" and yes, the camels do go on that stretch of beach. However, the camel trains don't tend to use the stretch of beach from the popular part of Cable Beach out to Gantheaume Point. I've been to Broome many times and love it! but requiring bbq cooking in the sun in November is irresponsible. Ch 7 should have enforced the "no hat" rule on Pete & Manu…no hat, no food! (I was hoping that a rogue croc might have been hungry for foreign food.)
- 153 Littlepetal { 04.09.13 at 8:12 am }
Yes, Colin and co were in Perth for the elimination challenge.
- 154 auds { 04.09.13 at 9:51 am }
How did the Tassie team get back in? Last I saw it was between them and the Italian mummas. What did I miss? All I saw last night was the Broome challenge…..
- 155 littlepetal { 04.09.13 at 10:02 am }
auds-you didn't miss anything. Tassid team not back yet. They still have to cook against Angela and Melina and the team that will be eliminated this Wed.

Fantastic tour! It takes you to many wonderful and exciting places that are not as well known as the coastal towns. To spend time in the area where Van Gogh painted many of his famous paintings, wander through Roman theaters and ruins, walk through castles and enjoy fabulous vistas makes this a very memorable excursion. The guide, Gail, though somewhat inexperienced, made up by being very helpful, enthusiastic and pleasant. I would highly recommend the tour.

Great tour guide, personal attention and tailoring of trip to suit us. Loved the places visited and the ease of travel!
August 2011
Virginia is very good and thoroughly enjoyed. The downside is Provence Tour was bought by another company and the phone number was disconnected. I suggest Viator should provide the update phone number. I wasted two days trying to contact the tour company on the number indicated on the voucher.

After a bit of confusion about the pick up we met our driver and found that we were the only two people on the tour that day. An excellent tour, particularly St Remy and Les Baux and one I would recommend to anyone

Very disappointed that our driver skipped both the Abbey and the Mill. Important sites that we paid to see but we were short of time as two passengers were picked up over and hour out of the way. I thought this was a tour out of Marseille, not Aix-en-Provence!!!!

- Filed Under
TWO RIVERS - Carol Fredrikson doesn't mind that she turned 55 on Monday because it puts her into the next age division when she competes as a runner.
"When you are a runner and you compete like that you don't mind aging up into the next age group because then I become the ? youngest person in my age group," she said. "There aren't too many people that would say they're happy about moving into the next age group, but in this case it's a good thing."
At most races, the divisions are in five-year increments, such as 50 to 54 and 55 to 59, she explained.Back to running ...

Conan And The Death Lord Of Thanza
Posted 02 January 2005 - 04:01 AM
By Roland Green
Tor 1996
Plot Capsule
Conan flees Ophir, and in the Aquilonian city of Shamar he joins the Thanza Rangers, a group raised to attack raiders in the Thanza region of the Border Range. Up in the mountains, bandit chieftain Lysinka joins her band of men to those of Baron Grolin, the self-titled ?Lord of Thanza,? so they can seek for a chest that flew off when Lynsinka tried to steal it from a caravan. According to Grolin, it contains the Soul of Thanza, which grants lordship over death. Unknown to the others, a mysterious semi-invisible wizard helps guide Grolin to the Soul of Thanza. The ragtag Thanza Rangers, nominally lead by boyish Captain Klarnides but actually headed by master-at-arms Tharmis Rog and Conan, move into the mountains to attacks the raiders. After Grolin abandons Lysinka during a fight with the Rangers, Lysinka surrenders to Conan and agrees to help apprehend Grolin. Together, they and the Rangers set out to find the Soul of Thanza before Grolin can use it to turn himself into the indestructible Death Lord. Conan find unexpected help from an army of the dead, and he will need all the aid he can against the horrors of the Mountain of the Skull and the awesome might of the Death Lord.
Roland Green?the notorious whipping boy of pastiche writers. However, a long time has passed since I read one of Mr. Green?s Conan novels, and I wondered if I had given him a fair chance. I could hardly get through Conan and the Mists of Doom, but perhaps I had caught him on one of his off-novels. I would hate to judge John Maddox Roberts based on Conan and the Amazon and Robert Jordan on Conan the Victorious, respectively poor works from otherwise skilled pastiche writers. So I decided to give Mr. Green another try.
I am glad to report that Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza is superior to Conan and the Mists of Doom. Unfortunately, that still ranks it as the second worst Conan novel I?ve read.
This book just goes to prove that all the clever monsters, sword fights, sorceries, and interesting plot ideas cannot overcome slipshod writing and lack of passion for the material. Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza feels like exactly what it is: a writer-for-hire pounding out pages in a short space of time. I can?t imagine Mr. Green had much fun writing this book, and consequently I had very little fun reading it. It turned into a chore getting through it, even as my mind thought, ?Hey, that?s a nice horror device there,? or ?What a large and unusual finale!? None of that matters if the writing is either dull or draws attention to itself with its ridiculousness.
The prose starts adequately, as if Mr. Green had his energy level up when he started typing, but the longer the story goes, the clumsier the writing gets. Sometimes Green?s descriptions sound just dumb-founding: ?And, in as much time as it took to eat a venison pasty?? (Sorry, but I have no idea how long it takes to eat a venison pasty, and should references to Cornish food take place in the middle of a battle scene in the Hyborian age?) There?s an unintentionally hilarious description of a wizard with a leaf sticking out of his nostril in one chapter. Green also over-relies on particular words, such as ?witling.? No kidding, it appears three times on one page.
I find it amazing that a writer can pack a novel full of action and still make it boring. Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza brims with action; too much, in fact. Most of it has nothing to do with the plot and exists only for its own sake, such as an early sequence where a tavern owner sends ?thief-takers? (another overused word) after Conan. A struggle with a water dragon works better than most other action scenes, and the skeleton army could have worked if handled with more imagination. Good ideas pop up everywhere, but Green wastes most of them. I prefer Conan stories that have a ?dark fantasy? slant that emphasizes hideous magic and demonic creatures mixed in with the swordplay, and Green?s story offers a lot of that. But he handles these moments in such dull, uninteresting ways. The skeleton army is a prime example; you quickly forget that they are the walking dead and start thinking of them as just another set of allies who joined up with Conan. The Death Lord is also a good concept, and Grolin?s seizure of its power makes for the most effective sequence in the whole novel. But it arrives after the book has lost most of its momentum and it doesn?t renew interest in the story. The ending might have been fantastic?flying mountains and an army of skeletons?but it rushes past quickly without buildup. A pity; a good author could have turned out a real thrill ride of a read from this material.
The characters get the same unfortunate treatement as the fantasy elements. Characters who initially appear interesting, like Tharmis Rog and the Nemedian Regius Panon, end up serving hardly any purpose. The strange sorcerer who aids Grolin never gets explained, nor does the history and purpose of the Death Lord and the skeletons receive more than a cursory nod. Lysinka, a typical warrior-woman, works better than she should. Her attraction to Conan feels realistic and believable. It?s a small touch, and one of the few successes in the novel.
Conan and the Death Lord of Thanza is Conan pastiche at its most bland. Missed opportunities and passionless writing make this a book to skip on your pastiche-reading list.

I don't know about recent, but I recommend Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson and Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling. An yep, I've read Neuromancer at least twice (believe it or not, it was assigned reading for a class at college). It's considered the first cyberpunk novel of the "official" movement of the 80s, although there were plenty of similar novels in the years before, like The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. Which kicks some serious ass!
so what recent cyberpunk books can u recommend please?
Oh, by the way?Conan.

It is a good title, and it would be even better if "Conan" wasn't required in the title. The whole "Conan the Adjective" and "Conan the Occupational Noun" made for a pretty boring series of titles, most of which don't really describe the novel at all. The series should have had Conan's name on the top of the novel, and then the title beneath it, sort of like the way they do the James Bond novels:

I'd imagine it like this:
People would still know it was Conan (and who created him!), but the title would get to be separate and more creative.

Green's overreliance on words with 'wit' in them is why I stopped reading his novels. One of them had a variant of that word over three hundred times in a novel with less than three hundred pages (the book was so boring, I counted the occurances to make the reading more fun). Wit, Witling, Witless, Nitwit... Open a Roland Green novel to a random page and such a word is going to be on that page or within two pages of the random page. Someone ought to hand that guy a thesaurus.
Green also over-relies on particular words, such as ?witling.? No kidding, it appears three times on one page.
I wonder if actually speaks that way (constantly using the word 'witling' and the others) or if it just an affectation he has while writing.

The story builds nicely from the start interweaving Conan into a group of questionable mercenarys (Thanza Rangers) and thier tracking down of the Bandits prowling the local mountains.
Some of the characters prove interesting in thier development, The Thanza Ranger captain, Klarnides for instance
I wont spoil it for everyone but I question Conans ease with which he ally's himself to his new "friends" from the cave and the power of the Death Lord over the mountain seems a little silly.
In the whole I give it 2.5/5

This is my first and only Match experience in Chicago.
He was somewhat cute, seemed intelligent, and had pictures of himself with friends (a definite must to claim normalcy). His messages were a perfect mix of information and questions to keep the conversation going, and he seemed like he had a great sense of humor. So after a few days, he asked me to meet him at a pub for a drink. We lived on complete opposite sides of the city (~15 miles apart), and he picked a place that was very easy for me to get to, even though it was not easy for him. There was no awkwardness when we arrived, so we decided to have dinner too. Conversation was great. As we got close to dessert, his phone would not stop ringing (it was on vibrate), so he asked if it were ok if he checked who was calling. It was his mother, and he again asked permission to call her back since she had called so many times–all perfectly reasonable things to do. He called her back, mostly listened, and then said he would call her back tomorrow. He then excused himself from the table and was gone for over 20 minutes! He came back looking a little pale, said everything was fine, but was much quieter the rest of dinner. He walked me to the bus, asked if we could see each other again, and kissed me goodnight. Other than the long, inexplicable disappearance from the table, it was a great first date.
We planned for drinks only as a second date since we were both extremely busy during the next week. This time we picked a place that was centrally located between us. He immediately explained to me what happened at dinner. His mother's frequent calls were her calling to tell him that she had Stage 4 cancer with a life expectancy of about eight months. He then proceeded to cry uncontrollably in the bar, and I had no idea what to do. We decided to call it a night and agreed we would reschedule for a better time. It was not the right time for him to get to know someone new. He needed to spend time with his mom.
So fast forward to about two months, after no communication, he called me to ask if he could try for a third time to show me a better first date. His mom had found out that he was on a date when she told him and insisted that he still live his life as her "dying wish." That is not exactly easy to say no to, and since he was such a gentleman and extremely respectful about everything so far, I agreed. He asked me to meet him for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants and then to go to a theater show nearby. Dinner–unbeknownst to me–was his birthday celebration with a few of his friends. It was a bit awkward, but they were all nice people and seemingly had no delusions about our dating status.
Following dinner, the two of us went to the late show alone. Being March in Chicago, the weather was comfortably in the 50s when we arrived, but when we came out of the show 90 minutes later, there was a freak ice storm. There was ice everywhere to the point that police were closing roads, taxis were no longer driving, etc. Since the show was late and the ice was so bad, the train also had already stopped running. There was no way I was getting home (~15 miles away) until the roads were treated.
He only lived a few blocks away, so we went to his place to wait for the roads to be cleared. His roommate was home, and we hung out with him for a while. I was freezing (I was not dressed for the unexpected 30 degree weather), so we went into his room to get a sweatshirt for me. I sat at his desk looking at some pictures that he had displayed, and when I turned around, he had his pants completely off. And I mean both boxers and pants off–shirt and socks still very much on. Note, at this point in time, we still had only kissed maybe twice and spent a total of less than 10 hours together! But the worst part was that what I saw was not normal in any way! Normally I would never share intimate details, but I was so caught off guard and creeped out by what I saw, I had to share with my closest friends to confirm that what I saw was in fact not normal. This is how he was nicknamed the Yellow Bastard.
To say the least, being stuck there for a few hours was insanely awkward, and we did not see each other again.

|Evaluation of left ventricular dyssynchrony using combined pulsed wave and tissue Doppler imaging.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22371794 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|INTRODUCTION: The combination of pulsed wave (PW) and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has been proposed as a new method to assess left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD), but results have not been validated. We investigated the correlation of a combination of PW and TDI with a positive response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied 108 consecutive patients who received CRT. Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded. The time difference (T(PW-TDI)) between onset of QRS to the end of LV ejection by PW (T(PW)) and onset of QRS to the end of the systolic wave in LV basal segments with greatest delay by TDI (T(TDI)) was measured before CRT and during short-term and long-term follow-up.
RESULTS: The T(PW-TDI) interval before CRT was 74 ±48 ms. Intra-observer variabilities for T(PW) and T(TDI) were 1.5 ±0.24% and 1 ±0.17%. Inter-observer variabilities for T(PW) and T(TDI) were 1 ±0.36% and 1 ±0.64%, respectively. T(PW-TDI) > 50 ms was defined as the cutoff value for diagnosis of LVMD by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. During follow-up of 15 ±11 months, the sensitivity and specificity of TP(PW-TDI) to predict a positive response to CRT were 98% and 82%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve was 0.92. There was a significant agreement between LVMD determined by T(PW-TDI) and the positive response to CRT (κ=0.80).
CONCLUSIONS: Left vertricular dyssynchrony detected by the method combining PW and TDI demonstrated a high reproducibility, sensitivity, specificity and agreement with a positive response to CRT.

It is subjective for the appearence of both of these fine suv s. We had an 04 Forester and shopped the new Forester and the CRV.
Got he CRV and not disappointed at all. The seats are great, they sit van like with armrest and the seat adjusts quite high so my wife can see over the dash and hood which was a problem with the Forester.
Gas mpg varies between 22 mostly city to 25 to 27 combined and 31 plus on the highway driving 65 mph. They are both roomy and comfortable and reliable, and edge to the honda over the long haul , ( Honda engine perfect ), but in the end it is what feels good to you they are both good choices.
Sorry but the CRV is the ugly one!!!!You got it right in the end!
I think the Forester is far more attractive than the CR-V.
The CR-V is somewhat like a van and shaped like a big bubble.
I really think it's unattractive.
I will not be buying a new Forester for various reasons :(, but I crossed the CR-V off my list early on.
I have an old Forester, and every time I see it far off in the parking lot, I absolutely LOVE the way it looks.
The shape of it, the small size.
It's similar to some of the jeep models, except Subaru is reliable.
(I'm still looking for a new car, but I didn't buy a Forester because the gas mileage wasn't much improved, the cloth upholstery looked pretty cheap - I won't buy leather -, and I they make you buy a sunroof on the Premium model, which is the highest end model you can get w/o leather seats and that has lumbar support.
What a bummer.
My old Subie has decent upholstery, lumbar support, and no sunroof.
Times have changed.

Re: One Dollar Audios
SO, I downloaded it and burned it to disk, and popped it in to test out it's playability and I was reminded it's Jago and Lightfoot, I had forgotten about that
(Have to pull out
Talons of Weng Chiang
to watch prior to the listening)
Surprised it was only a single disc story, most of the stories I've gotten were at least two discs or box sets. I was concerned about my download when I saw the files seemed to be a single disk (And fit on one) (Don't get me wrong, I'll pay a Buck a Story all day long, even if it was only half a disc long
Now, I'm gonna be staring at the disc, wanting to put it in, but, it will be so much better waiting,
least until the second part is released (And I'll probably get some more Evelyn's for the group in the meantime). Damn, I shoulda left it zipped up until later...Oh well, it's good to have to wait and want, right
I consume 5+ hours of Audiobook/Play a week on my commute, so, I always need to plan ahead
One Day I hope to be the Man my Cat thinks I am
Where are we going? And why are we in this Handbasket?
