Comments about Adventurer® Medium Duffel Bag:
I was able to get this on sale, so I feel like I got a great deal. This is a great bag! I travel a lot to hunt on the weekends, and this bag is a perfect size. Not too big or bulky, but can handle enough for a 3-4 day trip if needed. I also love all the pockets that help keep smaller items organized, and the dirty clothes interior pockets. Great looking bag, and comfortable to carry. The straps are great as well.

Respond to Review of Silly's Restaurant
by willow54sunset
Review: I was recently visiting Maine and stayed for most of my stay in Portland. I went to Silly's for lunch one day based on the reviews here, and was not disappointed. The vegan items were clearly labeled on the menu and I had "The Veganator Scramble" - it was excellent!! I ate outside, the staff was friendly, and I left feeling very satisfied.

Customer Reviews
This cereal is by far the best high protein cereal I have found plus its organic and non-gmo its perfect and it tastes great!
This is simply the best cereal available. It tastes great, holds up well in milk, and has more protein and fiber than most cereals on the market. I'm bummed that it's now harder to find in my local stores. I'm glad to see it is sold direct here, with free shipping no less. I'll be back for more.
Delicious and nutritious product! This cereal along with the maple nut and flax oatmeal has got me through my pregnancy. I'm now past my due date and my baby and body crave these oh so good products! I usually enjoy a bowl of cereal or oatmeal with fresh fruit on top for breakfast and it really helps to satisfy my hunger and feel nutritiously full. It's not bad as a midnight snack either!

The resistance assembly includes a housing having first and second opposed parts, and permitting movement of the handle bar about a rotational axis upon applying force to the handle bar. A resistance mechanism resists movement of the handle bar about the rotational axis. A screw, mounted lengthwise along the rotational axis, and engaging a threaded receptacle, adjustably compresses the spacing between the housing parts and modifies resistance to movement of the handle bar. One of the screw and the receptacle is coupled to an adjustment knob setting a user-defined resistance. A clamp, coupled to the housing, removably attaches the exterior of the first housing part to a member. A user grasps the handle bar and moves it by applying force corresponding to the resistance setting. The clamp can be utilized without operating the knob.

I have used this product for a number of years but I do think that the current version is very poor in comparison to the previous one. It states it is "double sided waxed paper" but I feel only one side is waxed. I have always used it to store icing run-outs and icing lace without a problem, they stick to the 'new' product. I won't be purchasing this product again.
A note from the team
Thank you for placing your review and we're sorry the food saver roll isn't how it use to be. We'll be in touch shortly to help.

Bears-Saints RB Viewers Guide: Bush, Forte critical for 'stopping' Brees, Saints
Partially overshadowed by the Jay Cutler Experience, good and bad, has been the Bears running for an average of nearly 112 yards per game, up a modest 10 yards per game over last season but a step, many steps actually, in the right direction.
Because a significant element of the offensive game plan vs. the New Orleans Saints on Sunday will be controlling the football, with the obvious reality that Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham and the Saints offense will find it difficult to score if they aren't on the field, and a central aspect of ball control is running that football.
"The best antidote would be our offense staying on the field," said offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer. "[That] would be the best."
[RELATED: Bears-Saints QB Viewers Guide: Chicago needs Cutler]
The Saints are among the league's best against the pass but 22nd in rushing yards allowed per game. More important, teams are averaging 5.5 yards per carry.
The Bears believe they can run on the Saints, who are not the Detroit Lions up front. But how they do that is critical…
If the Bears can get into the fourth quarter with the Saints within reach, they will gain a major advantage with Matt Forte and Michael Bush. Part of the plan is expected to be using Bush to ensure Forte is strong enough to control the ball in the fourth quarter.
[MORE: Bears keep shuffling DL with Paea questionable]
Bush did not carry the ball even once in Detroit. He has been considerably less than effective on the 16 carries that he had gotten in the previous three games (1.5 yards per carry, long of seven yards).
But the run blocking graded out well from the Detroit game, just not enough of it because of the scoreboard and game situations.
"A lot of the run blocking was good," Kromer said. "Like any football game there's one guy here or there that has to improve and that'll continue to be worked on."
Forte's workload dipped against the Lions (14 carries, six pass "targets") but he is tied (with New Orleans' Darren Sproles) for first among running backs with 23 receptions.
[ALSO: Jimmy Graham earns NFC Offensive Player of the Month]
"He's a great player," said quarterback Jay Cutler. "I think he's one of the true professionals in this building on the field and off the field, he does great work to get himself prepared for a long season, because we ask a lot out of him — in the running game, in the passing game; asking him to block linebackers and defensive ends.
"He's our guy. We move him around and we try to save him as much as possible, but it's hard to save a guy like that when you want to give him the ball a lot."

The Bark River Lions Club International Off Road Races kicked off Friday night. Over 40 professional racers and countless more sportsmen are taking part in the races.
Admission is $10 a day or $20 for the weekend, children 9 an under are free. It is fun for the whole family. There is live music, games, food, and tomorrow is the first annual beer and wine tasting event. But it seems itâ??s mainly the unique race track and tough cars that keep bringing the fans back year after year.
â??Iâ??ve been coming here for well over 20 years,â?? said race fan, Nathan Kussmann. â??I come here for the atmosphere. The racing is awesome, the natural terrain and the elevation changes.â??
If youâ??re unable to make it down tonight, the fun continues Saturday and Sunday.

Obama and Bieber and Conan and House and... ew.
Obama and Bieber and Conan and House and... ew.
Mid-song at a Justin Bieber concert, the singer sharply transitioned into horking his guts up on stage.
Reports say the audience couldn't tell the difference. ZING.
What's the best way to prank your metalhead little brother? How about completely make over his room into that of a Bieber-loving teen girl?
Stick around for the reaction.
One of the most irritating characters of the original Star Wars trilogy tackles a kindred soul in the music industry -- Justin Bieber.
Give the poor guy a chance. He just wants to be your Droidfriend.
The Battle of Justins always had one clear winner, but this JT/JB mashup puts the tween idol's "Boyfriend" against *NSYNC's "Girlfriend," and you can see for yourself.
Sometimes, on quiet afternoons at Twitter HQ, a guy in a letterman jacket will start a flash mob.
Watch as tech geeks the lunchroom over rise up to join him in a choreographed dance to Justin Bieber's "Baby."
(Not Safe For ... Pretty Much Anything -- excessive use of the Biebs.)

Caterham Hill Parish Council, with a little help from Santa Claus, turned on the Cedar Tree Christmas lights at our office in Caterham last Saturday evening.
A record number of people, estimated at around 600, gathered beneath the tree to hear carols, meet Santa Clause and to partake of mulled wine and mince pies.
£433.75 was raised for Caterham First Responders from public donations, Buxton provide the electricity for the Christmas tree lights annually.
Bricklaying is well underway at Parchmore Road, Thornton Heath where we are building 13 houses, 3 maisonettes and 2 apartments. The 1st lift of brick and block is now complete and steelwork is being lifted into place to support the timber floor joists.
The scheme is designed to meet Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 and will incorporate photovoltaic panels to meet the renewable energy requirements.

Our affordable housing division has secured a second contract with Amicus Horizon Housing Association in Thornton Heath. The scheme is to provide 14no. 1 and 2 bedroom apartments for affordable rent over three storeys with part of the ground floor being commercial space. Parking at the rear is accessed through a ground floor access road under part of the first floor. The site has already been partially cleared with commencement of construction scheduled to commence in January 2014.
The building is being designed to comply with Lifetime Homes and level 4 of Code for Sustainable Homes and will include photovoltaic panels on the roof to generate electricity thus reducing carbon emissions.
Cedar House, formally the "Old Rectory", in Caterham-on-the-Hill and is cited to be the most haunted house in the district.
Hauntings have been reported here since the beginning of the 19th Century when the Reverend Alick St John Heard and his wife moved in to the rectory. Stories include the Rector conducting his own experiment whereby he locked every door in and he and his wife left the house with the keys. When they returned an hour later every door was wide open.
Other sightings include a young boy waking in the night to see the Reverend Heards' deceased father rummaging through some paperwork at the end of his bed, the sounds of footsteps through the empty house and doors being locked a sighting of a hooded man resembling a monk, a mother waking to find a ghostly figure standing over her, reports of visitors feeling such an air of depression when entering the house they have needed to leave, door handles rattling, footsteps in the hallways, sightings of monks, fruit falling from a static fruit bowl, the back of the house being constantly cold, shoes walking by themselves across a room and other small articles such as hair brushes etc moving of their own accord.
Mediums have visited the house and declared the front of the building to be possessed by the spirits of good and those at the back to be evil. It is reported that a skeleton was recovered from a shallow grave near to the back door which could have been a child's grave as there are reports of seeing the figure of a Victorian child following one of the residents around the house.
Neighbours also have their own stories to tell including one of a young lady that was a brilliant pianist. She became unexpectedly ill and died leaving her fiancé so distraught that he committed suicide in the building. Since then haunting music has been heard drifting across the gardens when the house was unoccupied.
There is an old oak door studded with nails, in one of the downstairs rooms. The nails are said to stand for one for every person who died when the Plague hit Caterham. Mists have been seen to swirl around the ancient apple tree and occupiers are said to have felt the damp chill rise from the cellar. It is also said that if you talk beneath the old Cedar Tree in the garden a curse will be put upon you.
Since Cedar House has been occupied by Buxton there have been other sightings by people working here. Even last week voices were heard! Others have said to be sitting in the board room and a cupboard door has flown open and one single stapler fallen across the room, small articles have been said to move or fall of their own accord and anyone requested to retrieve something from the archives in the cellar do not go down there alone. Grown men are known to have left the building in haste being the last one in the office and having such an over bearing feeling of foreboding that they have had to leave.
Who knows what happens after the staff have left at night and before they return in the morning?

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

I have been addicted to Zyrtec for over 11 years now. Anytime I miss a dose after 2 days I develop extreme itching all over my body. There image no warnings of withdrawal and it seems to not be recognized as a side effect but there is a lot of people experiencing this. I have yet found a way to discontinue my usage.
Hi, I am 10 and I currently take Zyrtec. When I forget to take it, I become irritable and sometimes even kick things. I am unproductive in school work and my allergies get worse. I have seasonal allergies that are linked with reflux. Should i stop medication?
Hi I have a question I take cetirizine 10 mg once a day, and I am 13 years old. Lately I have had this pain in my ribs and got it checked out so many times but no doctor has done anything about it but anyway I was wondering if I could take one 500 mg maximum strength Tylenol with Cetirzine. I know it says for Tylenol that you shouldn't take any other acetaminophen with Tylenol. So that brings up my last question what does Cetirzine have in it? Thank You
I recently started taking generic Zyrtec in pill form for my seasonal allergies and rhinitis. For years I was taking generic Claritin and found that to be ineffective so I made the switch. I had dry mouth for a week or so, but that may have been due to the fact that I could not breath from my mouth until the prescription meds starting kicking in. I was told it takes about a week for this allergy med to become effective. I haven't had any side effects that I can see, so I am hoping it is more effective than the Claritin. No funny taste in my mouth, or upset stomach. Generic brand is much cheaper than name brand and it's as effective as the name brand too. Also over the counter availability . Great for people who don't have any health insurance or prescription coverage. Also available in genetic liquid for children.
Didn't faze my issue
Seemed to work well but made me tired, not in the spaced out way that Benadryl makes me tired, but a more cranky and angry tired.
I have used Zyrtec for year for chronic Urticaria and would be in bad shape if not fo this medication.
Every year in Texas between August and September my seasonal allergies flair up due to Ragweed. I have taken multiple meds and the only one that seems to work is zyrtec. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to work effectively and lasts 24 hours. It is a life saver, otherwise I would be sneezing and my eyes itching all day. Only side effect would be slight drowsiness but not enough to make you fall asleep. If this is a problem i would recommend taking it before sleep and maintaining a schedule of when to take it every day. It's about 24 to 30 bucks for a bottle but well worth the money to ease from seasonal discomfort
I have been on the gereric form of Zyrtec for about a month and a half. I started having wrist joint pain, then hip and shoulder joint pain. I developed a bad, metallic taste in my mouth, and a sharp drop in my overall energy level. I thought I was getting old (joint pain) and depressed (lack of energy). But after stopping the drug, my symptoms began to subside and I am feeling back to myself, and sniffling and sneezing.. I would much rather have allergies that go through what I did, no more allergy meds for me. By the way, it was the Sam's Club generic citerizine.
I have allergies to most indoor allergens, including mold and dust mites This seems to work for a week or two at the most, but then I become highly tolerant to it. I find that Tavist and Benadryl work much better, but at the cost of higher side effects. I wouldn't buy more than 2 weeks worth to start - make certain it works for you before wasting your money.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
260 reviews
53% would repurchase
Package Quality: 3.9
Price: $$
Package Quality: 3.9
Price: $$
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
Peach Parfait is a very pretty peachy-pink, MLBB shade, with shimmer. I'm very cool toned and peachy shades don't generally look good on me, but this shade does. It's very sheer and moisturizing at first, but as it wears, it does feel a little dry. The formula seems to contain microglitter, which is probably what causes the dryness.
Even though it has a sheer texture, it lasts a decent amount of time after eating and drinking.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I LOVE this stuff! I just swipe it on my lips for a natural look, and I also like to layer it up for a peachy gold color, it looks beautiful on my medium skin tone I would say it is a bit too glittery for some people's taste, so if you're not into shimmer or glitter on the lips I suggest you stay away from it.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
Very nice color, a little sparkly for my taste. No scent, fairly smooth, certainly hydrating! Lasts 2-3 hours without eating. A little pricey in my opinion, but that could just be where I live.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Other, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I liked the colour, but I found the formulation of this lipstick to be very odd...not smooth like the others and not pleasant to apply to the lips. Like the other lip butters I've tried, this highlights any imperfections on the lips, and the application isn't very even. I wore this one a fair bit, just because of the pretty colour, but ended up chucking it after about a year. I really don't like how messy these lipsticks get in the tube, they just seem to melt and change shape so easily.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Very Oily, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I love the lip butters in general, but this one was not for me. It is super glittery on the lips, not even shimmery, just straight up visible glitter on the lips, which I just do not like. If not for the glitter, I would love this as the base shade is a great tone and I really like the formula of these.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Perfect! Shimmery warm-toned peachy-pink. Makes lips feel sooo soft and moisturized, and look super full and luscious! Love!! My favorite of all lip butters!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Other, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This is my staple- must have item in my purse at all times!
I have 7 other Revlon Lip Butters, but this one is perfect for every day wear!
I have very sensitive skin, with most glosses and lipsticks, my lips will get very chapped or I'll even get a rash. I was hesitant to try it, but now I'm so glad I did and am terrified that it will ever be discontinued!
I've repurchased the peach parfait 3 times already, love love love the colour, texture and how long it lasts while wearing.
Also- completely flavourless and sent free!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I am nw20 with freckles and this is my perfect every day "natural look" shade. I love the shimmer bc it makes my lips look plump and succulent imo. not to dark not too light. Peachy pink. To be honest once I discovered the revlon lip butters all my other lipsticks got tossed into a drawer of no return. HOOKED.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Peach Parfait is a very nice peach lip butter...its a soft peach,its a gloss but it
is not sticky...just cam home with my second tube of Peach Parfait...very pleased with
my Peach Parfait...
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This shade is exactly what I've been looking for and I don't really like lipstick so I tend to try out anything that's not a lipstick. And I wanted a change from lip gloss. Anywayz I love this shade its perfect for me. The only thing I don't like is i'm left with tiny tiny goldish glitter around my lips. Wish I could get this exact shade without the glitter, but its still nice tho. I guess I will put up with the glitter coz I like the shade so much.

Thanks for the help so far

in response to dmanson79 SolvedNext step is to reinstall the 10.6.2 COMBO update, repair permissions, and restart. If that doesn't do it, Boot with the install disc and reinstall SL, check out that normal booting occurs and then incrementally update it. If still no go, hook up an ext HD to the machine, install SL onto it, don't migrate, and see if it operates the machine normally. If so, then some software process is causing the issue and tracking that down will be daunting.

Thirty-five years ago I worked for Dick as a river guide, and I'm happy to be one of his 2,000 purchasers. His book, Halfway to Halfway, co-authored with fellow raft company owner, Bob Volpert, is a rollicking series of river stories, told by Dick, Bob and former river guides.
The writers are a remarkably literate group despite the great quantity of alcohol, adrenalin, and ask-kicking adventure that, judging from the book, filled their former lives.
Unlike other whitewater books, this one encompasses not only on-river hazards and razor-close rescues, but also camping and the quirky off-river adventures of river people.
Current and former river guides will find themselves happily awash in memory while reading these stories, and clients who have taken several trips might be intrigued, but Dick freely admits that the potential audience for his book is small.
From the beginning he knew it was self-publish, or not publish at all.
Although self-published books currently flood the landscape like a rain-swollen river, Dick is the first self-published author I've interviewed. Others might be preparing to take the plunge, so today I share what I learned from him.
Self-publishing brings a problem right out of the gate: its history. In the old days, every self-published book carried a whiff of failure, because a self-published book was a book no publisher wanted. Self-publishing was also expensive. Few people did it and for their efforts they were called the "vanity press."
Even today, self-published books have no quality control. As Dick puts it, "there's still a lack of respect for self-published books and probably rightly so. Certainly suspicion out there."
The paradigm, however, is shifting. It is easier and cheaper to publish on your own, and if you market your book effectively, and if it is actually a good book, copies will sell. For a specialized book like Dick's, 2,000 sounds realistic.
For someone who loves riding rapids, publishing a book feels glacially slow.
"We've spent longer on this than Tolstoy writing War and Peace longhand," Dick laughs. Time-consuming activities included corresponding with co-authors, editing, proof-reading, and going back and forth with the book designer about the cover and layout.
With the exception of typos, however, ("We'll hire a proofreader next time!") Dick is happy with the outcome. The designer, in particular, was money well spent.
Dick and his partner chose CreateSpace, a subsidiary of Amazon, to produce their book. Amazon provides a modicum of publicity — a listing on amazon.com — and sells the book both in electronic and print versions. Amazon retains 40 percent of the profit, but the process is inexpensive enough for Dick and his partner to have recouped their costs after selling 600 books.
"You hate to go with the big dog," says Dick, "But they provided so much for us that we couldn't go elsewhere. Most of our sales have been through amazon."
(Since talking with him, I've learned about I Street Press, located in Sacramento and affiliated with the public library, where you can watch your own book being printed on a big machine. It must be a hit because their Website now says, "I Street is accepting new publishing assignments on a limited basis because the press has been overwhelmed with orders.")
No matter how much you struggle to write a book, marketing it is harder.
Independent retailers, Dick learned, face extensive paperwork for self-published titles and uneven quality, so it's hard to get them to carry your book. Rare is the book-signing that fills every seat. You can make sales through good reviews on amazon, but savvy purchasers know that when a book is self-published most of the early reviewers are friends.
Getting reviewed in other publications is difficult due to immense competition. Dick managed to cop a mention in "Central Oregon Arts & Entertainment" (2,000 subscribers) but said, "I had to write the piece myself."
This, even though Halfway to Halfway is a good read.
Dick reports, "Our best retail outlet is the North Fork Store, when you come off the Middle Fork River in Idaho. It seems like after a six-day wilderness trip people need to spend money. Thirty books sold really fast."
I've been to that store, situated on a godforsaken corner between one empty road and another. It's crowded only when 25 boaters, just off the river, pour out of their bus to buy ice cream.
And, I guess, books.
Dick tells me that his wife is amazed at how hard he's marketing his book, considering his shy side. (I thought Dick was as shy as a billboard, but maybe I'm wrong. Hawking something you've written could make anybody shy.)
But the number of books sold, while important, isn't everything. I detect pride in authorship even as Dick says, "If you're planning to get rich, you're in for a big disappointment."
He continues, "I was so excited when I got our first books. I showed Halfway to Halfway to everybody who would stand still."
Publication apparently makes grown men speak like children's writers.
Button-holing his friends, Dick crowed, "I wrote a book. Look. I wrote a book."

I have no idea why- but I am compelled to share this picture from Stewart-Haas Racing that they tweeted complete with their caption from last weekend's All-Star Race. It humors the heck out of me and I just thought you all should see it:

The Race In Texas Hasn't Happened Yet, But Tony Stewart's Already WonPosted by in General | NASCAR - (0 Comments)
So, you may be asking yourself, how is it possible that Tony Stewart has already won at Texas Motor Speedway before the race that runs tomorrow evening? Let me answer that for you. Yesterday Tony Stewart picked up two awards at the Texas Motorsports Hall Of Fame Dinner and Induction Ceremony held at Texas Motor Speedway! Stewart-Haas Racing tweeted this picture last night of his "hardware" that he won:
YEY Tony!!!
Here are some pictures from the event:
Congratulations Tony!!!
Race 3: Viva Las "#Winning" Vegas (or the HOW I MISSED TONY's BURNOUT..AGAIN)Posted by in General | NASCAR - (1 Comments)
(Yes I know this is late- but I wanted to make sure I gave this entry the attention it deserved. I hope you find it worth the wait-Amy)
The NASCAR race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway holds a special place in my heart- it was the first NASCAR race I ever attended (and the first oval track race I ever attended). Las Vegas Motor Speedway was also the first Speedway I ever held a media credential at- so it is a track of firsts for me. (more…)
Race 6: Martinsville 1Posted by in General | NASCAR - (0 Comments)
Martinsville- what can I say except Tony Stewart lucked into a 7th place finish by attrition thanks to that big wreck at the end there that took out several of the front runners.
Race 2: PhoenixPosted by in General | NASCAR - (1 Comments)
Oh EFI how you disappoint this Stewart fan. Tony was within striking distance of the lead- and hanging out mostly right around 6th for most of the day. Only to get quite the surprise when he switched his car off to save gas as requested by his new crew chief Steve Addington.
However the car would not switch back on. It was sad to see him sink further and further behind the field as he tried to refire the car multiple times. Unfortunately he had to be pushed back to the pits to have assistance to get the car fired back up.
URG. He went from possibly in the hunt to 2 laps down in a flash. Unfortunately he finished 22nd, 2 laps down. He is now in 15th in the standings (but technically he is really in a four way tie for 12th with Brad Keselowski, Jeff Burton, and Paul Menard).
Notes on Phoenix:
- It didn't take TIDE long to create a commercial based on their involvement in the cleanup efforts after the Daytona Jet Dryer Explosion did it:
My major thing is that it would flash across the screen and for a split second I would think MOLY! What just happened at PIR…but then I would realize…it's that Tide commercial again. You have to admit that was rather quick that they were able to take the footage from the wreck at Daytona (remember that happened on Monday night!) and make it into a commercial!
-Am I the only one who misses the dog-leg portion of Phoenix Raceway? I also hate that the drivers seem to cut across the apron now…it honestly looks like they are cheating and if they wanted the drivers to drive on that part – they need to re paint the yellow line.
- I totally admit that I was REALLY hoping that Tony Stewart/Steve Addington would get a win before the Denny Hamlin/Darian Grubb pairing did. It's because I am fiercely competitive when it comes to my driver…sigh.
Gratuitous Tony Stewart Picture:

2012 SHR Momentum, The Bud Shootout and upcoming Daytona 500Posted by in General | NASCAR - (1 Comments)
Ahh, it was so great to not just have cup cars out on the track but to have those cup cars to be racing. No matter what the format of the Shootout or how drivers qualify for the Shootout, I look forward it because to me it signals the beginning of the season, points be damned.
I admit during the off season, while reveling in the fact that my driver won his third championship, I've been pondering the momentum SHR may or may not carry into the 2012 season. Last season was not the best of seasons for Tony Stewart and his #14 Office Depot/ Mobil 1 team. I don't think even Tony would argue with me there. Granted there were some near wins during the regular season, like Las Vegas (which broke my heart because I knew how much he wanted to win there after our interview and to see him come oh-so-close only to not win) and the more positive 2nd place in New Hampshire (where he finished second to teammate Ryan Newman). But despite a few bright spots (that were not winning so how bright could they really be) was frustrating for our driver (and his fans right). I honestly don't think I have ever worried as much as I have about Tony making THE CHASE (NASCAR's version of playoffs/Championship) as I did this last 2011 season. Luckily he did by the skin of his teeth (whether or not he thought he deserved it).
Then it was like someone flipped a switch. Tony's CHASE run was nothing short of amazing, with the #14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 team winning a record 5 out of 10 CHASE races. And don't even get me started about that race at Homestead, that amazing race that Tony NEEDED to win. He not only managed to win but passed 118 cars to do it. A race where the team and driver had to overcome damage early in the race, a bad pit stop, a rain delay and you know 42 competitors. A race where it was quite obvious that the driver was….well driving his ass off. Oh yeah and they happened to take home a CHAMPIONSHIP because if it. That rocked.
Even though the season ended on a high note, that doesn't mean that the momentum will follow through and don't think that doesn't worry me. SHR underwent some fairly major changes at the end of the season and during the off season. There were sponsor additions (Outback and Quicken Loans) for Ryan Newman's car. A new crew chief, Steve Addington, was hired for Tony Stewart, after letting go Darian Grubb. The long empty Director of Competition position was filled by Greg Zipadelli (big surprise there right?) after being vacant most of last season. And the BIGGEST change of all, the addition of a third, albeit part-time team with the #10 of Danica Patrick. Yes, technically the car is fielded by TBR but we all know that was done to guarantee Danica a start in the 500 without having to sacrifice Tony or Ryan's owner points. So that adds a new crew (maybe- Stewart-Haas has a third pit crew they offered out to other teams) and a new quasi-teammate to the mix. That is a whole lot of change for an organization. Change that may (or hopefully may NOT) hinder momentum because there are new people getting use to an existing organization and an organization getting use to new people.
That being said, I am VERY pleased with what i saw at the Shootout momentum wise. Considering that Tony's car had signifigant damage during practice and the team was able to repair the car and get it to point where he was obviously very competive, it is exciting to witness. Yeah, Tony didn't win but he came darn close. Even Kyle Busch mentioned during his postrace that he hooked up with Tony because he knew that the 14 was fast. So as a fan of SHR and in particular Tony Stewart, I am definitely liking what I am seeing from my team so far this very young season.
Now, as far as the 500 on Sunday? It's going to be a crazy race. NASCAR worked hard during the off season to break up the tandem drafting and judging by the Shootout, it worked. The return of "pack" racing is something I find crazy stressful to watch at the superspeedways. Packs mean there is less room to correct for an "oopsie" with out hitting someone else. Recovery space is limited. When you do make a mistake (and someone always does- it's human nature) there is a very good chance that multiple cars will be involved, thus a better chance of a more "spectacular" crashes. And when I say "spectacular" I really mean "scary as hell, oh god please let driver x by okay" kind of crashes. So there is that to worry about.
On the plus side, Tony WAS strong in the shootout. Hopefully he will be equally strong in his Duel race. And for those who like numbers- this is Tony Stewart's 14th Daytona 500. I think it's time for him to finally win one! I know Tony must want that jewel in his crown- who wouldn't.
So…#GoTonyTo and as always #ImWithSmoke!
Also- be sure to check out our new "Misty's Mazin' Moment" column- this week she tackles The Shootout. And her Misty's Messed her unMentionables moment of the Shootout!
Make Tony's Victory At Homestead Sport's Illustrated's Moment Of The YearPosted by in General | NASCAR - (1 Comments)
While in-between festivities at Champions Week in Las Vegas (and yes I still have to post about them- I haven't forgotten) Misty and I were discussing Tony Stewart's run at Homestead. I forget what the exact statistic is but he passed something like 118 cars during that race. Now- mind you there are only 43 cars in a sprint cup race field IF everyone is on the track- which is highly unlikely because of start-n-park teams, mechanical failures, crashes, etc. You couldn't help but notice- at Homestead that Tony Stewart was a man determined. He was going to do everything in his power to get that car across that finish line FIRST. Misty always tells me when I get a little discouraged at Tony's run "Remember- You can NOT keep Tony Stewart down." For those of you who don't know Misty like I do- that is a lot for her to say- because while she loves Tony as a person- he is NOT her driver during a race (and let me tell you- during a race Misty can get fairly ferocious in her driver loyalty). Misty's right though- Tony Stewart was a man determined and NOWHERE was that more evident than at Homestead. Just when I thought his day was done he would be flying up through the field yet again- determined to get that win and that Championship. His driving was determination personified. That is why I think Tony's victory at Homestead (and his amazing championship run- winning 5 of the 10 chase races) deserves to be Sport's Illustrated's Sports Moment of the Year for 2011.
YOU, the fans, can help Tony get this honor. All you have to do is LIKE Sports Illustrated on Facebook- then go to the Sports Illustrated facebook page and vote for your top five sports moments of 2011 (making Tony Stewart's moment first of course). Vote now- vote often. You only have until December 16th to place your votes!
Tony busted his butt to win that third championship- and put on one hell of a show doing it! Let's show him we loved watching him do it!

Guest blog: How to bring transmission lines to windy West Texas
Texas on the Potomac regularly publishes guest opinions from across the political spectrum. Today, we offer a commentary by Diana Liebmann that was written for the San Antonio Express-News.
In parts of West Texas, wind turbines extend across rocky mesas as far as the eye can see, turning otherwise unproductive land into a source of clean, renewable energy. Our state has world-class wind resources, and wind developers want to expand generation into the area of the state with the best wind resource. There has been just one problem: The Panhandle lacks transmission lines to carry the power generated by wind to consumers around Texas.
But that's changing. On Friday, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) approved a plan to bring needed transmission lines into the windy Panhandle. In 2005, the Texas Legislature established the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (CREZ) process to build transmission lines to areas with exceptional wind resources like West Texas and the Panhandle. Local residents want to capture their wind generation potential and reap the economic benefits of job creation, new income for landowners and tax revenues for school districts and cities.
In reaching its decision, The PUC required wind developers that wanted to use the new lines to demonstrate a financial commitment to develop wind projects by putting collateral at risk. To meet the PUC's financial threshold, some wind developers anted up more than their fair share, and some wind developers made no commitment at all.
In the coming years, as the transmission lines are brought on-line and become oversubscribed with new wind projects from a myriad of developers — the companies that made the financial commitment necessary to achieve approval for the development of these transmission lines should be given priority to remain on-line and generate electricity.
This "dispatch priority" is needed so that wind developers who supported the transmission lines with real dollars when credit is tight, power prices are low and the economy is in a recession, are not bumped off-line by developers who sat on the sidelines with their hands (and money) in their pockets.
This situation must be remembered in the coming years when the new transmission lines become oversubscribed — a situation that has occurred in West Texas, and was a driver behind the CREZ legislation.
When too much electricity is being generated, reliability of the system will require that wind generation on those lines be choked back. When that happens, priority should be given to the wind developers who posted a financial commitment. These developers should be entitled to utilize the transmission that was built based on their financial commitments. Those that posted no commitment, and took no risk, should be first to be backed down.
The state has managed this process in a way that protects the interests of taxpayers and consumers; using a resource in a manner that brings real benefits without undue financial risks. All Texans will benefit from increased transmission to allow for the development of no-cost fuel generation that wastes no water nor harms the quality of the air we breathe.
Now that the Panhandle transmission lines have been approved, and a completion date anticipated to be in 2013-2014, Texas needs to reinforce its sound policy and ensure that dispatch priority is given to companies that supported the transmission build-out, invested resources, and shouldered the risk.

What the House's offshore drilling plan would do
This list was prepared by Jennifer Dlouhy of the Washington bureau.
The offshore drilling bill passed by the House Friday would:
☞ give subpoena power to the presidential commission investigating the oil spill.
☞ mandate a new $2 fee per barrel of oil and 20 cents per million BTU of natural gas produced on federal leases.
☞ mandate $900 million of annual spending for the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, a 46-year-old account designed to help states and local governments acquire property for parks and protected wildlife areas.
☞ require all offshore drilling vessels working within 200 miles off the nation's coastline to be registered in the United States and owned by Americans by next July. The Deepwater Horizon rig was registered in the Marshall Islands.
☞ hike the required insurance coverage for offshore facilities, to a minimum of $30 million (from $10 million) for those in state waters and at least $105 million for operations in federal waters.
☞ mandate offshore drilling vessels be built in the United States. The bill would exempt all facilities under contract when the measure is enacted and would allow the government to waive the mandate in cases where U.S. shipyards could not produce a required vessel "within a reasonable period of time."
☞ overhaul the federal regulatory agency responsible for policing offshore drilling, following allegations of lax enforcement and a too-cozy relationship with the oil and gas industry. The Obama administration has already begun breaking the Minerals Management Service into three separate divisions, but the legislation would codify the overhaul in federal law.
☞ require energy company CEOs to certify _ under penalty of up to 10 years in jail fines of up to $10 million per day _ that well designs are safe, the firms have adequate oil spill response plans and that the companies are capable of quickly drilling a relief well if there is an emergency.
☞ require the Interior Department to impose new standards for cement barriers and mandate redundant components for blowout preventers, the devices used when wells are drilled as a final safeguard to block uncontrolled surges of oil and gas.
☞ end so-called "royalty relief" by barring companies from new drilling in federal lands and waters unless they renegotiate leases that allow the waiver of royalty payments to the federal government whenever energy prices dip below certain thresholds. In some leases issued in the late 1990s, the government did not stipulate that it could suspend the royalty waivers if prices jumped _ an oversight that could cost the government an estimated $53 billion in foregone revenues.
☞ create a new Gulf Coast Restoration Program to coordinate plans to restore the region in the wake of the oil spill.
☞ broaden the scope of exploration plans energy companies must file with the federal government, so they describe worst case scenarios.
☞ triple the current 30-day limit for the federal government to review exploration plans, and allow that review to be extended indefinitely under some situations.
☞ double fines on companies that underpay royalties they owe the federal government or make late payments. These new penalties of up to $50,000 per day per violation would apply to all minerals, including coal as well as oil and natural gas.
☞ create new licensing requirements for the masters of offshore drilling rigs.
☞ force the federal government to update its list of pre-approved dispersants that can be used to break up oil in future spills. As amended, the bill also would require companies to disclose the ingredients of dispersants used to break up oil.
☞ force companies to pay federal royalties on any oil spilled from their wells.
☞ allow a study of the viability of drilling relief wells while drilling the primary well.
☞ get rid of the existing $75 million cap on economic and natural resource damages that companies can be forced to pay for oil spills from offshore facilities. Under current law, the companies are already responsible for all cleanup costs and the $75 million liability cap is lifted entirely in cases of gross negligence or violations of federal law.
Higher prices boost Chevron
SAN FRANCISCO — Chevron Corp. on Friday joined the parade of oil giants posting big second-quarter profits, as rising petroleum prices lifted its net income to $5.41 billion, or $2.70 per share.
That more than triples the $1.75 billion profit Chevron, based in San Ramon, Calif., earned in the second quarter of 2009, beating analysts' expectations.
With the exception of BP, all of the big international oil companies are seeing their fortunes surge.
Oil prices have spent the first half of 2010 at levels that would have seemed stunning just a few years ago, only falling below $70 per barrel for a handful of days in May. Crude oil sold on the New York Mercantile Exchange closed Friday at $78.95.
As a result, Chevron made more money in the first six months of 2010 – $9.96 billion – than it did in all of 2003, when the company's annual profit hit $7.2 billion.
Chevron even saw a big jump in profits from its refining and marketing operations, which had been faring so badly that the company cut 2,000 jobs from that division this year. The company's downstream operations in the United States made a $433 million profit in the second quarter, compared to a $51 million loss during the same three months of 2009.
The massive BP oil spill did not shut down any of Chevron's oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
But George Kirkland, the company's executive vice president in charge of exploration and drilling, said the federal drilling moratorium triggered by the spill had suspended drilling at two of Chevron's offshore oil fields and will delay exploratory drilling at two other sites.
He called for lifting the moratorium and said that Chevron supports tightening standards for how offshore wells are drilled.
Spill work force could be cut
The size of the work force cleaning up oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico and on its shores may shrink as oil disappears, BP's incoming CEO said Friday, but he reaffirmed the company's long-term commitment to the region.
At a Friday news conference in Biloxi, Miss., Robert Dudley said that his company is committed "to make good to restore the Gulf Coast."
Dudley, who will replace BP CEO Tony Hayward on Oct. 1, also announced BP has hired James Lee Witt, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency during the Clinton administration, as a special adviser to the company in the disaster response efforts.
BP's Macondo well 40 miles off the Louisiana coast blew out April 20, destroying the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, killing 11 workers and sending oil gushing into the Gulf for almost three months.
The oil fouled beaches and coastal marshes, especially in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
But with the well capped for 15 days as of Friday, it's unlikely southern Florida, the Florida Keys and the East Coast will see any of the remaining spilled oil, according to an analysis released Friday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As the oil continues to break up, changes in currents are keeping it in the central Gulf, the study says.
"The light sheen remaining on the Gulf's surface will continue to biodegrade and disperse, but will not travel far," said NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco in a statement.
'Static kill' delay
The effort to seal the well for good, however, may be delayed by a day or so.
BP plans a procedure called a "static kill" — pumping mud into the well through the system of pipes and valves on the wellhead to force oil back down into the reservoir more than two miles beneath the Gulf seafloor.
Before beginning that procedure, however, BP intends to complete the pipe-like casing in one of the relief wells it's drilling to intercept the Macondo near the reservoir and seal it there, too.
That process was delayed for a day because debris accumulated in the relief wellbore after the drilling rig evacuated the site a week ago ahead of Tropical Storm Bonnie.
Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, who commands the federal spill response, said in a briefing that the debris wasn't a major obstacle but it means crews won't complete the casing until Sunday. That means the static kill won't start until Tuesday, a day later than projected.
Once the static kill is completed, BP will continue drilling the relief well and could intercept the bottom of the Macondo by Aug. 11 or 12 based on current timelimes, said BP Vice President Kent Wells. Sealing it permanently with cement could take up to two weeks after that.
Earlier in the week Allen said it was getting harder for skimmers to find large areas of oil on the surface to collect. But on Friday he emphasized that it would be premature to declare the spill over.
"We should not be writing any obituary for this event until the well is completely sealed, until we have no more oil on the surface of the water, until we understand where all the oil has gone to, until the beaches are clean, until state and local officials agree that the beaches are clean and we have a way to go back if we need to find oil that reoccurs," he said.
'Oil budget' prepared
A scientific team is working to prepare an "oil budget" to calculate how much oil has been released and how much has been skimmed, burned, dispersed or evaporated, Allen said. The team will attempt to assess where all the oil has gone to make sure it is accounted for. This will allow the Coast Guard to see where oil needs to be recovered and also help with assessments of long-term ecological effects.
The spill led to a government moratorium on new drilling in the deep waters of the Gulf, and BP announced Friday that it is establishing a $100 million fund to help rig workers affected by the ban.
The Rig Worker Assistance Fund will be administered through a supporting organization of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, the company said.

Texas lawmakers comment on energy bill inspired by Deepwater Horizon disaster
This post was written by Jennifer Dlouhy of the Washington bureau
Lawmakers from Texas are playing a high-profile role today as the House debates a broad energy bill inspired by the Deepwater Horizon disaster. For the Texans, the legislation strikes close to home (and to their constituents back home) by making major changes to the laws governing offshore drilling and responding to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Here is a sampling of their comments on the House floor today:
Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas:
"This bill is a thinly disguised permanent roadblock to American energy. It will drive american companies out of the Gulf, delay future drilling, increase dependence on foreign oil, kill 300,000 good-paying U.S. energy jobs, levy a new $22 billion tax on American energy but not on foreign oil."
"It includes a protectionist measure that the White House itself is troubled about, that invites retaliation, that will kill jobs."
"This is a choice between american energy workers and foreign oil. No Texas lawmaker — no Gulf state lawmaker — can support this bill and say they truly care about energy workers jobs in America."
Rep. Gene Green, D-Texas:
Diana Carlton/Hearst Newspapers
Rep. Gene Green
"It will kill jobs and increase our reliance on foreign oil and has become a vehicle for controversial and extraneous provisions that do not address the issue at hand: the safety of our offshore oil and gas production."
"I strongly support making production safer and cleaner, whether it's offshore or on land or in our industrial facilities. (I have) no question at all about unlimited liability on the responsible party for environmental cleanups. But this bill goes so far that it would make it (liability) unlimited for economic damage."
"It puts at serious risk the competitiveness of the Gulf of Mexico."
"Effective legislation could have been achieved that would ensure continued development of the Gulf resources."
Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas:

Eddie Bernice Johnson
"While this legislation cannot stem the oil that continues to gush into the Gulf of Mexico, it takes solid strides forward to preventing an event from occurring in the future."
"As a Congress, it is our duty to look forward and ensure we have protections in place for future similar spills in these deep-water areas. We also need to review the current oil and gas regulations and ensure that we have safe environmental protections in place for all types of offshore and onshore operations and facilities."
"This will help to make sure we are better prepared going forward."
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas:
Diana Carlton/Hearst Newspapers
Kevin Brady
"It's going to cause more people to lose jobs."
"At a time when we're billions of dollars behind on what we need to spend to keep our parks on federal land that's owned right now, this bill irresponsibly adds $900 million per year for 30 years (for park land purchases). It's not enough that we're going to put children for generations in debt, now we're going to keep spending money that they don't want spent."
"Please, for goodness sake, let's stop the bleeding, and, in this case, the gushing force of this nation's blood and its tax dollars, and vote this down."
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas:

Rep. Joe Barton
"I'm not opposed to improving safety and regulation in the OCS, but I do want OCS drilling to continue."
"In my opinion, with the taxes in this bill, with the punitive nature of this bill, if it were to pass and become law, we would not have OCS drillin
