Things I liked: What a piece of junk! Error message after error message. Difficult to use interface. Shot string limited to 10 shots. Lousy, unfriendly customer service. What a mistake this was. I replaced with a ProChrono Digital model. Much better! Easy to use. Rarely ever an error message. Up to 99 shots per shot string! Bluetooth connectivity to your smart phone. Buy a ProChrono Digital mode...they're made in the USA!

Things I would have changed: Like others that reviewed this product needs better step-by-step instructions.
What others should know: This does not fit in the padded case very well , not enough room for everything once you add the printer , the cables etc. Im using a range bag.

Ryan Chapman (who totally rocked this podcast about the Pynchon ebooks and whatnot) just emailed me about "The Davids," an annual competition among Penguin imprints to win a small plastic trophy . . . Here, I'll let them explain:
Every year Penguin selects the best book videos for The Davids, named after our CEO David Shanks. And in 2013, we're opening the voting to the public.
So head here to cast your vote. Note that you don't have to vote in every category.
Of course we strongly, strongly recommend you choose our Thomas Pynchon entry for Best Animated Video. (You would not believe the amount of trash-talking in the offices this week between the imprints.)
Since I'm trying to sweet talk Ryan into doing another podcast this fall wherein we can talk about the new Pynchon novel, Bleeding Edge, I really want him and his Pynchon video to win. So vote!
And keep in mind, that a vote for Pynchon is a vote against Riverhead—which is, um, important, because Riverhead is . . . a bunch of loud-mouthed jerks? (I've got nothing. I just want Ryan to win.)
Randall Jarrell once argued a point that I will now paraphrase and, in doing so, over-simplify: As a culture, we need book criticism, not book reviews. I sort of agree, but let's not get into all of that. Having finished. . .
Like any good potboiler worth its salt, Fuminori Nakamura's The Gun wastes no time setting up its premise: "Last night, I found a gun. Or you could say I stole it, I'm not really sure. I've never seen something so. . .
Heiner Resseck, the protagonist in Monika Held's thought-provoking, first novel, This Place Holds No Fear, intentionally re-lives his past every hour of every day. His memories are his treasures, more dear than the present or future. What wonderful past eclipses. . .
If you've ever worked in a corporate office, you've likely heard the phrase, "Perception is reality." To Björn, the office worker who narrates Jonas Karlsson's novel The Room, the reality is simple: there's a door near the bathroom that leads. . .

"Rambling Jack—what's that?"
"A novel. Novella, I guess."

She has been involved in work supporting a shift in humanity's consciousness via the planetary grid system, coordinated by the Ascended Master Realm, the Archangelic Realm, and many other Beings of Light.
Susan has traveled extensively to sacred sites bringing to the
I Am Light Curriculum
her knowledge of spiritual concepts of the evolution of universal consciousness. As a Master Teacher, she draws from Tibetan Buddhism, Native American Shamanism, Kabbalistic traditions and the metaphysical teachings of the Ascended Masters and the Order of Melchezidek.
Susan has an MA in Depth Psychology, training as a Reiki Master, Hypnotherapist and a Jungian oriented dream work facilitator.

In his lifetime as Pythagoras, Master Kuthumi personally pioneered the basis for the
I Am Light Curriculum
by drawing together the seen and unseen worlds through mathematics, sacred geometry and sound to create a universal framework of self-awareness that he followed while embodied in the nineteenth century. He continued a similar pathway in his lifetime as Saint Francis of Assisi by bringing into humanity's consciousness the unity of all life, including the animals and the natural world.
In his last earthly incarnation he was the Kashmiri Brahman Koot Hoomi Lal Singh, and he achieved ascension into the Realms of Light during that lifetime.

really interesting and unique concept. I love it.
Chess, i love chess <3
I really like your style!
I look at it and want to read some mysterious book
Beautiful !!!!
Love the style - i seems to be a whole new direction - and gives me lots of ideas
Love this!
So cool. I love the color palette that you used.
I really like the idea, the mood and the way you just expressed everything in colors.
I think the picture denotes the choices and consequences we make in life. Hence the chess board and the ripples circling out from the two. The choices we make have rippling effects on those around us. The picture is divided into two halves to further amplify the choice we must make: do we support the left or the right? white or black? female or male? The chessboard is at the centre because the result of those choices is all that matters but it's the ripples that overlap and are unforeseen. Notice how the guy is currently making the choice? He is on a tiny stool...hardly comfortable enough to sit on for long. A choice can be hard, uncomfortable sometimes made with pain...sometimes in haste without your thinking cap on (as is suggested by the floating hat)...and sometimes made with leisure as is suggested with the comfortable lounge chair the girl is sitting on.
Woah. That's really an interesting way to think about this...
wow I really like your interpretation!
Who is the woman you took as reference?
Soooo amazing!
I absolutely love the mood, idea and the colors of this artwork. It`s very insperational for me!
What do these figures' melting represent?
love your skills

It's just so peaceful in some way.
Great job!
THIS is a beautiful masterpiece, something I'd love to hang on my wall, & pass down to my children.
It should be in a museum.

Interesting! Nice storytelling, you've got here
wow girl that is really really great much respect
It's fascinating to ponder this in terms of pairs and dualities: male and female, mind and emotion/soul, reason and irrationality, conscious and unconscious... all poised in the great game of life. Brilliant work! Thanks for sharing.
We sold it on Carhart Gallery in Weil Am Rhein
Very nice
Love it! Very cool!
Awesome! Is it for sale?
very well done
great painting
WOW! Te kolory są cudowne! Świetne! Ile nad tym pracowałaś?
I think I love you. This is perfect in every way. (I get a little creepy when I REALLY love a piece of art).
This is beautiful
Wow, great mastery of colors and anatomy!!! Love it!!!!

Olympic athletes: The worst commercials
Hey you guys, the Olympics started this weekend. Just thought you should know.
For the next two weeks, we're all going to be glued to our television sets, getting amped up about sports we wouldn't normally watch, and vowing to name our unborn children after gold medal winners (shout-out to my two-year-old cousin, Apolo). But do you ever wonder what happens to all of those Olympic heroes after they get off the podium?
They end up pimping avocado for Subway.
Right this second, there are rich old dudes scouting which athletes they want to plop in front of the camera to promote their product to the masses. And while some Olympians have appeared in classy, tasteful commercials, there are a lot more that are not quite "Olympic-caliber."
This week, we decided to take a look at some of America's heroes-turned-sellouts. Hey, even Olympic dudes have got to eat, right?
Dan & Dave: The Olympics most famous non-achievers
Note to companies: Don't invest millions of dollars into a couple of guys who no one has ever heard of, unless you have already rigged the Olympics ahead of time (in which case, good hustle).
Back in '92, Reebok infamously launched the "Dan & Dave" campaign, featuring American decathletes Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson. The campaign was actually pretty slick, and closed with the question, "Who will be the world's greatest athlete? To be settled in Barcelona." It was going to make Double-D (they were never actually called that, but it feels like a blown opportunity) the talk of the games. There was just one problem: Dan and Dave shit the bed.
Dan didn't even qualify for the team, and Dave limped his way to a bronze. More embarrassingly, however, were the dynamic duo's acting skills.
Bruce Jenner: Huge OJ fan*
Before he was the creepy looking head of the Kardashian household, Bruce Jenner was the creepy looking 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medalist. And more importantly, a shameless product pusher: Wheaties, his very own workout DVD, and, best of all, Tropicana orange juice. What makes this ad especially awesome is the number of times B.J. (again, not a real nickname that we're aware of) nods his head while talking about the benefits of orange juice. Enjoy.
(*See what we did there? Because OJ Simpson's lawyer was Robert Kardashian. And now that dude is dead, and Bruce Jenner is banging his wife! Word play for the win!)
Tonya Harding has the energy to "go further"
To be fair, this is actually a step up for T-Hard (legal name) given the downfall she's seen since her figure skating shenanigans prior to the 1994 Winter Olympics. And in fairness to Texaco, this commercial is fairly epic. Mountains? Check. Scientists? Check. Tonya Harding looking beautiful? Checkmate.
Undoubtedly this year's Olympics will lead to a whole new crop of awful TV spots. We just hope one of them is Michael Phelps promoting adult braces.

Draco Family Ponikemon by MySweetQueenWatch
©2011-2016 MySweetQueen
Dratini, Dragonair and Dragonite in MLP style
OMG Front page in September!! thank you all!!
Siguiendo con mi serie de familias ponikemon aqui estan los primeros dragones de la primera generacion, muchos me habiais pedido que los hiciera y me ha supuesto un gran reto, dragonite en concreto fue muy dificil y el resultado no me convence del todo, pero dragonair me tiene loquita ^^
pense en hacerle la cola similar a la de Applejack, que fuera de pelo y tuviera una coleta hecha con las 2 esferas caracteristicas de la cola de dragonair, pero ya le habia puesto cola de dragon a los otros 2 y preferi dejarsela asi.
Tal vez me anime a hacer a suicune, raikou y entei en pony si tengo tiempo, se que me disteis mas sugerencias pero ahora mismo no las recuerdo, asi que sigo abierta a sugerencias sobre mas familias de ponikemon y de cualquier generacion
Continuing my series of families here are the first ponikemon dragons of the first generation, many you had asked me and I made them was a big challenge, Dragonite in particular was very difficult and the result does not convince me at all, but Dragon I is crazy ^ ^
I thought of him like the tail of Applejack, which was hair and a ponytail had made with the 2 spheres characteristics of the Dragon's Tail, but he had put dragon tail of the other 2 and preferably leave it like that.
Maybe I do encourage Suicune, Raikou and Entei pony if I have time, you gave me more suggestions but can not remember right now, so I'm open to suggestions for more families and any generation ponikemon
Very amazing to see. They are horses as you can tell but pokemon styled as well. But if they are evolving from pony to pony, then you'll need to keep it to one gender. If its a family of ponies and they evolved then all you need to work on is....nothing. I think you did awesome while keeping in mind that the baby pony is to young for a cutie mark. Is it after MLP FIM? iIf not then it is still awesome!. Oh and i think you should keep makong these awesome ponimon or ponikemon as you call them.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
91 out of 111 deviants thought this was fair.
did it have a sex change between dragonair and dragonite?
OMG! I love how Dragnonair and Dratini came out. They are my favs ever.
Awww!!! I can't get over how cute Dragonite is X3
cool dragonair looks awesome
Dragonir is sooo lovely, my favorite Pokemon as a Pony. ^_^
Dragonir is sooo lovely, my favorite Pokemon as a Pony. ^_^
Beautiful dragonair pony
MySweetQueen, all of yor art is amazing. It is beyond amazing, indescribable if you must put it that way. Your art work has inspired me to create my own, though not sketched. From this family I have derived the story which I wrote (and am writing), so I must thank you beyond a doubt for this spectacular addition.
Go check out my story. It's posted as a journal because deviantART wouldn't accept my story for 3 days straight. It's kind of a horror/romance/action type story, if you will.
was i the only one who didn't know that dragonair evolved into dragonite?
Estas cosas que haces, son hermosas. Convinas mi dos grandes pasiones: Pokemones & Unicornios o Ponis.
Sinceramente te admiro ♥
Sinceramente te admiro ♥

I had to order this highlighter off Ebay because I am not willing to pay the ridiculous price from Australia. Have to say, this is beautiful and well worth the wait for shipping. It gives off a gorgeous golden glow and really helps to define the cheek bones. It is an off white color, which does look a bit scary in the pan but when applied to the high points of the face it really helps to give your face definition. I normally like to use a cream highlighter but I would buy this 100 times if I had to, I love it.

I love this highlighter! Ive been researching highlighters for a little while now, and a lot of them where just....eh, pretty much white on my skin...like chalk. gross right!? lol
Well ive read many rave reviews about Albatross, so I decided to give it a try since I love their blushes any how.
It looks white in the pan, especially when you swatch it, but when you blend it, it gives a very very pretty gold shimmer, not overwhelming though! Don't worry you wont look like a fairy!
Im sure it would look great on lighter skin, but im (nc40/MUFE 153) and i love this on my tan skin!!!!!
my new HG!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
The best highlighter I ever used (I bought it based on the reviews here). As another poster said below, a little is great for everyday/ work... then you can add more for night time.
This can be used on and around eyes too, as well as the chest and neck area.
What sets Albatross aside from other highlighters is the fine gold in it, instead of silver. The gold colour seems to be a true neutral and would work well warm & cool as well as dark & light skin.
Overall: Love it and highly reccommend.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Albatross is the hands-down best highlighter I have used. It is costly, but it is very pigmented and absolutely gorgeous on my skintone. Albatross also lasts all day without fading away for me. It's not extremely obvious but gives a nice subtle glow. One of my everyday products.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Green
This is a product I use almost every day -- it gives my skin a lovely golden, dewy glow that really brightens up my face. Very finely milled, easy to put on with my MAC 187 brush. I usually put it on the top of my cheekbones over my NARS Orgasm blush, they compliment each other really well.
NARS' unfortunate packaging means that the outside quickly becomes "dirty", otherwise the packaging itself is sturdy and simple. The price is ridiculous in New Zealand so I bought mine for half the price over eBay.
My favourite highlighter, look forward to using it every time! Can definitely recommend.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
GREAT STUFF! Adds the perfect glow to my skin. I add a little bit to my face for the work look and I add more when I am going out for a party. Makes my skin look great in pictures. However, I prefer this more as a party look and I use the SB shimmerlights highlighter as my every day makeup
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Dark, Cool
Hair: Black, Relaxed, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I did my research before buying,but I just did not like this on my NW44 skin. It's too over the top for me.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Other
Eyes: Green
At first glance Albatross looks freakishly white in the pan, but once on the skin it turns into a golden sheen. If over applied it leaves a metallic almost green toned sheen to my face though. The texture is very smooth and velvety so glides onto the skin effortlessly. However for the price I expect more from a highlighter - it's nothing special and definately not worth the price! Lasting power is not so good at all either. I will not repurchase.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Tan, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
NARS Albatross highlighter (0.16 oz for $27 usd) is a sheer golden sheen highlighter. Albatross looks very white in the pan but it applies very sheer and light adding a nice subtle warm tone. The golden shimmers are very finely milled and look natural on a skin. Albatross creates a pretty natural sheen on the cheeks without looking too harsh like Mac mineralize highlighter that I have use. There is no perfume or scent in the blush and the product comes in a black rubber rectangular package. If you are looking for a natural highlighter with a touch of a golden sheen, Albatross might be the one of you.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I really like this highlighter.
It has a golden-ish glow to it. Even though I have cool skin tone I still adore this highlighter. For some this might be too glowy!! So if you do not like to have somewhat shimmery stuff on your face, you will not like Albatross. But if you dont mind it, you should really like it!!!
The most important for me is that its not glittery!!! But gives a glow!!! Love it!!!!!! Looooove it!!!!!
Will I buy it again.....of course!!!!!

Mastery motivation is a major impetus in the formation of children's early self-concept. In the self-concept literature, a fundamental distinction is made between the self as actor and the self as an object to be known by others and evaluated. This distinction is frequently referred to as 'the I' and 'the me' (Harter 1983; James 1890; Lewis and Brooks-Gunn 1979). It is through acting upon the environment that the infant becomes aware of the self as agent, which is one of the first steps in self-concept formation (the self as 'I'); this begins in the first year of life. The self as 'me' develops later—beginning in the second year of life.
Mastery motivation is concerned with infants' active attempts to interact with the world. This chapter examines how infants' experiences prompted by mastery motivation affect the construction of self-concept, and, conversely, how the development of self-concept affects the expression of mastery motivation.
The chapter places mastery motivation in a broader theoretical context than is usually considered. It begins with brief overviews of the constructs of self-concept and mastery motivation. These constructs are usually viewed in isolation; instead, the focus here is on the overlap and relationship between the two. Models are presented that graphically illustrate the interplay of self-concept and mastery motivation in development. These models change with age, and possible mechanisms of change are presented.
This aspect of self has been described as the existential self (Lewis and Brooks-Gunn 1979) or executive self (e.g. Kagan 1981) because the 'I' directly perceives and acts upon the environment and directly experiences the results of interaction. It is the 'I' that knows, feels, wants and does. As Epstein (1991) describes, scientific study of the 'I' has been problem-

Civil society organisations from throughout the region have renewed their commitment to the Caribbean (NGO) Policy Development Centre as a regional platform for civil society views and concerns. This commitment came as the organisation held its Annual General Assembly at the Grand Coastal Inn, Guyana; Thursday, 30 June 2011. The gathering noted that although the CPDC was formed 20 years ago, in response to the deteriorating economic and social conditions, today those challenges are still relevant and have actually become more acute, eroding the social and economic gains previously made.

These were delicious! I really enjoyed the subtle cinnamon flavor!
The cookies didnt turn out as sweet as i hoped. They were very dry and bland. I would suggest adding a 2 teaspoons to the mix, then sprinkling sugar on the finished cookie.
I made these cookies for my church and they loved them. I did almost exactly as the recipe said except I used around 1/4 cup less butter...They were amazing :) definitely going to make them agai...

From his Pakistan hideout, Uighur leader vows revenge on China
DERA ISMAIL KHAN/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Entrenched in secret mountain bases on Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, Uighur fighters are gearing up for retribution against China to avenge the deaths of comrades in Beijing's crackdown on a separatist movement, their leader told Reuters.
China, Pakistan's only major ally in the region, has long urged Islamabad to weed out what it says are militants from its western region of Xinjiang, who are holed up in a lawless tribal belt, home to a lethal mix of militant groups, including the Taliban and al Qaeda.
At least 11 killed in attack on Pakistani court
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Gunmen burst into a court in a busy shopping area in the heart of Pakistan's capital on Monday, killing at least 11 people in a suicide-bomb and gun attack likely to shatter any prospect of meaningful peace talks with Taliban insurgents.
The Pakistani Taliban, who have declared a month-long ceasefire to pursue peace talks with the government, immediately distanced themselves from the attack as well as a separate blast on the Afghan border which killed two soldiers.
At least 11 killed in brazen attack on Pakistani court
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Gunmen burst into a court in a busy shopping area in the center of the Pakistani capital on Monday, killing at least 11 people in a brazen attack likely to shatter any prospect of meaningful peace negotiations with Taliban insurgents.
A loud explosion reverberated across central Islamabad just after 9 a.m., followed by bursts of gunfire. Police said at least 30 were wounded. A judge was among those killed.
Pakistan army says more than 100 soldiers died in fighting
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan's army on Wednesday said more than 100 soldiers had been killed by Taliban militants in the last five months, in a rare admission of mass casualties since the start of government efforts to engage the insurgents in peace talks.
The administration of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who came to power last year promising to find a negotiated peace with the Taliban, has been trying to engage the militants in talks but these efforts have faltered in past weeks.
Taliban kill senior Pakistan officer as peace talks falter
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistani Taliban fighters opened fire at an army car and killed a senior officer on Tuesday in an attack certain to destroy any prospects of meaningful peace negotiations between the government and the insurgents.
An attempt by representatives of both sides to meet and talk peace collapsed a day earlier after insurgents said they executed 23 soldiers in revenge for army operations in the volatile tribal regions on the Afghan border.
Peace talks between Pakistan and Taliban collapse after killings
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Peace talks between the Pakistani government and Taliban insurgents broke down on Monday after insurgents said they executed 23 soldiers in revenge for army operations in the volatile tribal regions on the Afghan border.
Pakistan watchers have always been skeptical that negotiations with the outlawed militant group could ever bring peace in a country where the Taliban are fighting to topple the government and set up an Islamic state.
Pakistan, Taliban start peace talks in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – A long-awaited first round of peace talks between Pakistani Taliban insurgents and the government began in Islamabad on Thursday after numerous delays and growing doubt over the chance of their success.
The insurgents have been battling since 2007 to topple Pakistan's government and establish strict Islamic rule, but Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif believes both sides are now ready to find a negotiated settlement and stop fighting.
Confusion, doubt as Pakistan tries to talk to Taliban militants
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan's much-awaited talks with the Taliban got off to a shambolic start on Tuesday after government negotiators failed to turn up at an agreed time following days of confusion over who should represent the insurgents.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif surprised his country last week when he announced he would give peace talks another chance just as speculation intensified that his government was preparing for a military offensive against Pakistani Taliban strongholds.
Pakistani army launches offensive near Afghan border
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Residents of Pakistan's ethnic Pashtun region of North Waziristan accused government troops on Monday of killing dozens of civilians during a military operation against Taliban insurgents.
The operation started just after a December 18 suicide bomb attack on a checkpoint in North Waziristan, a stronghold for al Qaeda-linked Taliban militants on Pakistan's mountainous border with Afghanistan.
Pakistan says no to military action against Taliban
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Pakistan ruled out military action against the Taliban on Tuesday and promised to persuade insurgents to lay down their weapons through peace negotiations.
Mullah Fazlullah, the Pakistani Taliban's new hardline leader, has rejected outright the idea of peace talks and vowed to step up attacks as part of his campaign to topple the central government and establish Islamist rule in Pakistan.

A Detroit Craigslist ad says it all:
"Auto Insurance 100% Real No Gimmick's."
Perhaps you weren't aware that fake car insurance was a problem.
In Michigan, it's a big one.
On Monday, Secretary of State Ruth Johnson announced a new push
to crack down on fake insurance certificates that drivers use to
register their vehicles. A one-day sampling of 15,000 registration
renewals found a fraud rate of 16 percent. Over 3,400
of those renewals involved paper certificates; 552 were
Some don't try very hard.
Almost 30 people brought in insurance certificates that day
with a computer-generated code from the insurance company on them.
"When we looked up that QR code, it had a picture of a llama that
said 'Llamas are so cool,'" Johnson says.
Johnson adds that more than half of Michigan's 83 counties
turned up fakes or forgeries. "This is not an urban or regional
problem," she says.
Car insurance in Michigan is outrageously expensive; even a very
basic policy can cost thousands of dollars a year in the
impoverished Detroit area. Motorists there turn -- some knowingly,
some in good faith -- to a variety of different fraudulent tactics,
like registering their cars outside the city or buying "7-day
insurance" to show at the registration office. Some car dealers
throw in insurance on the deal; sometimes it's fake. (See "
The city where no one has car insurance
Others methods are more blunt.
"There was one person that was advertising on Craigslist that
they could do duplicate insurance, which was obviously fraud,"
Johnson says.
And all of them are much more likely to be caught now that the
state requires insurance companies to send electronic verification
of who's insured to the state twice a month.
The state plans to train staff to spot fake certificates and
aggressively suspend vehicle registrations of those who are caught.
Michigan is going after the sellers, too; Eaton County Prosecutor
Douglas Lloyd announced charges Monday against a man accused of
advertising fake insurance on Craigslist.
Faking car insurance is a crime pretty much everywhere, if
usually less brazen. If this is an issue in your area, or if you
bought a policy off the back of a truck, see "

Thorsten Heins stands to make $55.6 million in salary, incentives, and equity if he is ousted from BlackBerry.
Powermat CEO Thorsten Heins says any future Samsung smartphone with wireless charging will include his company's wireless charging standard.
The company's chief executive says that Apple's user interface is "now five years old," indicating the company isn't innovating as quickly as it should.
Thorsten Heins, who departed BlackBerry in late 2013, will now lead a wireless-charging company on the cusp of its global expansion.

By Colleen Dunn Bates, Editor of Eat: Los Angeles
The whole country now seems to know about L.A.'s food-truck mania, triggered by the phenomenal success of the Kogi Truck. But the food truck is nothing new in this car-focused town, and the better taco trucks had already elevated portable dining to a new level art long before Kogi came along.
So herewith are ten favorite trucks of the EAT: Los Angeles team, with a particular focus on the classics and just a few of the modern trucks that are drawing crowds. We love many others, too, from the Let's Be Frank hot dog cart to the Coolhaus ice cream sandwich truck on the hipster end to about a dozen great old-school Mexican taco trucks in Highland Park and East L.A., but this list of ten represents a great mix, both geographically and culinarily. Enjoy!
Border Grill Truck
WHY Border Grill's excellent tacos (the Yucatan pork, potato and Baja-style fish are our faves) and quesadillas, served from a truck window all over town.
WHAT At this writing, the truck from star L.A. chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken was doing a lot of private events and showing up consistently at several spots, including in front of the Venice bar the Brig some Thursday nights and the first Friday of the month; at UCLA's Court of Sciences for some lunchtimes; and at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market twice a month. It's also starting to hit Hollywood more. Check the site or the Twitter feed for details.
WHO Young foodies in hip little hats.
Citywide. bordergrill.com. @BorderGrill. Mexican. Cash only. $ - $$
El Pique Taco Truck
WHY Meltingly tender al pastor and savory chorizo tacos and burritos, served late into the night.
WHAT One of L.A.'s finest taco trucks lives in the parking lot of the car wash at the corner of York and Avenue 53, and it has a devoted following. The al pastor is smoky and richly spicy, the carne asada is lean and savory, and the chorizo is addictive.
WHO Locals, workers from the car wash that shares this parking lot, and Mexican futbol fans (the truck bears its allegiance to Chivas).
Parking lot at York Blvd. & Ave. 53, Highland Park. Mexican/Taqueria. L & D daily. Cash only. $
El Taquito Mexicano
WHY Sopes made with fat masa cakes, richly flavorful beans and tender chicken; all the meats (carne asada, lengua, carnitas) are good. First-rate tacos and burritos, too.
WHAT Pasadena's hungry night owls have shockingly few options, so we're grateful for this fine taco truck, which is parked in the Nishikawa auto-repair shop lot every night -- it's open until at least midnight during the week and 3 a.m. on weekends.
WHO Caltech and Art Center students and inebriated middle-aged Pasadenans hungry after another boring cocktail party.
Nishikawa Auto, 510 S. Fair Oaks Ave., Pasadena, 626.577.3918, eltaquitomexicano.com. Mexican/Taqueria. D nightly. Cash only. $
Green Truck
WHY Fresh, organic salads, soups, wraps and sandwiches, served out of two catering trucks at several locations.
WHAT These sustainable twists on the roach coach, fueled by recycled vegetable oil, cruise Culver City, Santa Monica and the Wilshire/La Brea area on weekdays. Your ahi poke tacos, vegan sesame-tofu wraps and sweet potato fries are served in biodegradable packaging. To see where the trucks are parked, go to the web site's GPS tracker or follow it on Twitter. Note that Green Truck was L.A.'s first hybrid-hip food truck, before Kogi.
WHO Culver City studio folks, Miracle Mile office toilers and health-conscious Santa Monica office workers.
Citywide. greentruckonthego.com, @Green_Truck. Modern American/Vegetarian. Cash only. $ - $$
Grilled Cheese Truck
WHY The comfort of grilled cheese with the sophistication of quality ingredients and modern combinations -- but be prepared to wait in line.
WHAT As the dust settles from the last year of food-truck mania, the Grilled Cheese Truck is coming out one of the winners -- not as much of a sensation as Kogi, perhaps, but popular enough to always attract a big crowd, and good enough to make the people who wait happy. Our favorites: the tomato soup, the tater tots and the Harvest grilled cheese with butternut squash, roasted leeks and balsamic. Our teenager's favorite: The mac 'n' cheese grilled cheese, every bit as decadent as it sounds. The truck cruises from Pasadena to the South Bay to Venice, with no set schedule, and it's had a lot of private parties lately, so you'll have to get online to find it.
WHO The usual crowd of 20somethings who have no problem standing in line for 45 minutes for a sandwich.

Kogi BBQ
WHY Taco trucks hit the big time when this Korean/Mexican fusion coach arrived on the scene.
WHAT Spicy pork and beef short-rib tacos along with kim chee quesadillas and other Kogi specialties are undoubtedly delicious Asian twists on Mexican favorites -- but whether the wait time is worth it depends on the length of the line and your patience. A pioneer of the gourmet food truck movement, Kogi has increased its fleet to three trucks, which stop all over L.A. (and will show up at your event with a $1,000 minimum order). Its food is more easily available at the Alibi Lounge in Culver City, and now at its new "real" restaurant, Chego in Mar Vista.
WHO Trend-followers and addicts willing to wait 45 minutes to an hour (down from 90 minutes last year) minutes for a couple of short-rib tacos.

Ricardo's Fish Tacos
WHY Excellent Baja-style fish tacos.
WHAT Ricardo (better known as Ricky) moves his poquito stand around Silver Lake, but you can reliably find him either in front of Le Bar (3922 Sunset Blvd.) or the laundromat on Saturdays during the Silver Lake Farmers' Market. He makes just one thing, fish tacos ($2.50), and they're terrific, the fish fresh from the fryer and the tortillas warmed to order. This is the real thing, made by an Ensenada native.
WHO Farmers' market shoppers and surfers pining for Baja.

ABSTRACT: Mast cells are the major sources of histamine, which is released in response to immunological stimulations. The synthesis of histamine is catalyzed by histidine decarboxylase (HDC). Previous studies have shown that Hdc(-/-) mast cells exhibit aberrant granule morphology with severely decreased granule content. Here, we investigated whether the histamine synthesized in mast cells regulates the granule maturation of murine mast cells. Several genes, including those encoding granule proteases and enzymes involved in heparin biosynthesis, were down-regulated in Hdc(-/-) peritoneal mast cells. Impaired granule maturation was also found in Hdc(-/-) bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells when they were co-cultured with fibroblasts in the presence of c-kit ligand. Exogenous application of histamine and several H4 receptor agonists restored the granule maturation of Hdc(-/-) cultured mast cells. However, the maturation of granules was largely normal in Hrh4(-/-) peritoneal mast cells. Depletion of cellular histamine with tetrabenazine, an inhibitor of vesicular monoamine transporter-2, did not affect granule maturation. In vivo experiments with mast cell deficient, Kit(W) /Kit(W-V) mice indicated that the expression of the Hdc gene in mast cells is required for granule maturation. These results suggest that histamine promotes granule maturation in mast cells and acts as an pro-inflammatory mediator. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Article: Restriction of Mast Cell Proliferation through Hyaluronan Synthesis by Co-cultured Fibroblasts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Appropriate culture models for tissue mast cells are required to determine how they are involved in regulation of local immune responses. We previously established a culture model for cutaneous mast cells, in which bone marrow-derived immature mast cells were co-cultured with Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts in the presence of stem cell factor. In this study, we focused on the roles of hyaluronan, which is produced by the feeder fibroblasts and forms the extracellular matrix during the co-culture period. Hyaluronan synthesis was found to be mediated by hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) expressed in Swiss 3T3 cells. A decreases in the amount of hyaluronan, which was achieved by retroviral expression of short hairpin RNA for Has2 or by addition of hyaluronidase, significantly enhanced the proliferation of the cultured mast cells without any obvious effects on their maturation. Although we previously demonstrated that CD44 is required for proliferation of cutaneous mast cells, the deficiency of hyaluronan did not affect the proliferation of the cultured mast cells that lack CD44. These findings suggest that the extracellular matrix containing hyaluronan may have a potential to restrict proliferation of cutaneous mast cells in a CD44-independent manner.
Article: Impaired activation of mast cells upon IgE-mediated antigen stimulation in a stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat strain, SHRSP.Z[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated IgE-mediated allergic responses in a metabolic syndrome model rat strain, SHRSP.Z, which develops obesity and hypertension to cast light on the relationship between metabolic disturbances and allergic responses. IgE-mediated cutaneous anaphylactic responses were severely attenuated in this strain regardless of the presence of fa/fa mutation, compared with the parental WKY/Izm strain. Furthermore, in the peritoneal mast cells of both the SHRSP.Z and SHRSP/Izm strains, IgE-mediated activation, such as degranulation and protein tyrosine phosphorylation, was severely impaired whereas no significant differences were found in morphology and number of peritoneal mast cells. Immunoblot analyses revealed that phosphorylation levels of Syk upon IgE-mediated antigen stimulation were significantly decreased and basal expression of linker for activation of T cells (LAT) was down-regulated in peritoneal mast cells of the SHRSP strains. These results suggest that attenuated cutaneous allergic responses in the SHRSP.Z strain might be attributed to impaired FcvarepsilonRI-mediated signal transduction in mast cells.

ABSTRACT: By using the recently established culture system that reproduces the terminal differentiation process of connective tissue-type mast cells, we found significant transcriptional induction of CD44. As CD44 is a primary receptor for hyaluronan (HA), which is one of the major extracellular matrix components, we investigated the role of CD44 in cutaneous mast cells. When co-cultured with fibroblasts, mouse bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells (BMMCs) were found to form clusters in an HA-dependent manner. As compared with BMMCs derived from the wild-type mice, those from the CD44(-/-) mice exhibited impaired growth during the co-cultured period. Furthermore, in the peritoneal cavities and ear tissues, mature mast cells were fewer in number in the CD44(-/-) mice than in the wild-type mice. We investigated roles of CD44 in mast cell proliferation by reconstituting BMMCs into the tissues of mast cell-deficient, Kit(W)/Kit(W-v) mice, and found that the number of metachromatic cells upon acidic toluidine blue staining in the tissues transplanted with CD44(-/-) BMMCs was not significantly changed for 10 weeks, whereas that in the tissues transplanted with the CD44(+/+) BMMCs was significantly increased. These results suggest that CD44 plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cutaneous mast cell number.
Article: Establishment of the culture model system that reflects the process of terminal differentiation of connective tissue-type mast cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To understand physiological roles of tissue mast cells, we established a culture system where bone marrow-derived immature mast cells differentiate into the connective tissue-type mast cell (CTMC)-like cells through modifying the previous co-culture system with Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Our system was found to reproducibly mimic the differentiation of CTMCs on the basis of several criteria, such as granule maturation and sensitivity to cationic secretagogues. The gene expression profile obtained by the microarray analyses was found to reflect many aspects of the differentiation. Our system is thus helpful to gain deeper insights into terminal differentiation of CTMCs.
Article: Activation of Histidine Decarboxylase through Post-translational Cleavage by Caspase-9 in a Mouse Mastocytoma P-815[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: L-Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) is the rate-limiting enzyme for histamine synthesis in mammals. Although accumulating evidence has indicated the post-translational processing of HDC, it remains unknown what kinds of proteases are involved. We investigated the processing of HDC in a mouse mastocytoma, P-815, using a lentiviral expression system. HDC was expressed as a 74-kDa precursor form, which is cleaved to yield the 55- and 60-kDa forms upon treatment with butyrate. Alanine-scanning mutations revealed that two tandem aspartate residues (Asp(517)-Asp(518), Asp(550)-Asp(551)) are critical for the processing. Treatment with butyrate caused an increase in the enzyme activity of the cells expressing the wild type HDC, but not in the cells expressing the processing-incompetent mutant. An increase in histamine synthesis by butyrate was accompanied by formation of the 55- and 60-kDa form of HDC. In addition, the in vitro translated 74-kDa form of HDC was found to undergo a limited cleavage by purified human caspase-9, whereas the alanine-substituted mutants were not. Processing and enzymatic activation of HDC in P-815 cells was enhanced in the presence of a Zn(2+) chelator, TPEN. Although treatment with butyrate and TPEN drastically augmented the protease activity of caspase-3, and -9, no apoptotic cell death was observed. Both enzymatic activation and processing of HDC were completely suppressed by a pan-caspase inhibitor, partially but significantly by a specific inhibitor for caspase-9, but not by a caspase-3 inhibitor. These results suggest that, in P-815 cells, histamine synthesis is augmented through the post-translational cleavage of HDC, which is mediated by caspase-9.

ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated that, when expressed in COS-7 cells, L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC), which has neither an amino terminal signal sequence nor a hydrophobic membrane anchor, was localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), although its orientation in the membrane remains to be clarified. Protease digestion and immunofluorescence analyses of the cells, of which plasma membrane was selectively permeabilized, revealed that the amino terminal 50-kDa portion of HDC is hardly accessible to proteases and antibodies added exogenously from the cytosolic side. Green fluorescent protein fused with the carboxyl terminal 20-kDa region of HDC at its carboxyl terminus exhibited the same characteristics as native HDC. These results indicate that HDC is tightly associated with the ER membrane with its carboxyl terminal region exposed on the cytosolic side.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence suggests that IgE-mediated activation of mast cells occurs even in the absence of antigen, which is referred to as "monomeric IgE" responses. Although monomeric IgE was found to induce a wide variety of responses, such as up-regulation of the FcepsilonRI, survival, cytokine production, histamine synthesis, and adhesion to fibronectin, it remains to be clarified how mast cells are activated in the absence of antigen. It has been controversial whether monomeric IgE responses are mediated by a similar signaling mechanism to antigen stimulation, although recent studies suggest that IgE can induce the FcepsilonRI aggregation even in the absence of antigen. In this study, we focused on the role of conventional protein kinase C (cPKC), since this response is suppressed by a specific inhibitor for cPKC. Monomeric IgE-induced Ca(2+) influx was not observed in a mouse mastocytoma cell line, which lacks the expression of PKCbetaII, although Ca(2+) influx induced by cross-linking of the FcepsilonRI was intact. Transfection of PKCbetaII cDNA was found to restore the Ca(2+) influx induced by monomeric IgE in this cell line. Furthermore, the dominant negative form of PKCbetaII (PKCbetaII/T500V) significantly suppressed the Ca(2+) influx, histamine synthesis, and interleukin-6 production in another mouse mast cell line, which is highly sensitive to monomeric IgE. Expression of PKCbetaII/T500V was found not to affect the antigen-induced responses. These results suggest that PKCbetaII plays a critical role in monomeric IgE responses, but not in antigen responses.
Article: Histamine H2 receptor-mediated modulation of local cytokine expression in a mouse experimental tumor model. Biochem Biophys Res Commun[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence indicates that histamine is involved in the modulation of cytokine expression patterns. We previously reported that daily treatment with the H(2) receptor antagonist, cimetidine, suppressed tumor growth through alteration of the local cytokine expression pattern. In this study, we used a mouse strain genetically lacking histidine decarboxylase (HDC), to evaluate the role of endogenous histamine synthesis on cytokine expression and tumor development. In the mutant mice, cimetidine had no effect on tumor growth, whereas an H(2) agonist, dimaprit, significantly enhanced tumor growth. When the HDC-deficient mice were implanted with mutant CT-26 cells stably expressing HDC, drastic suppression of tumor growth by cimetidine was observed, which was accompanied by augmentation of mRNA expression of LT-beta, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma in the tumor tissues. These results suggest that endogenous histamine synthesis in tumor tissues suppresses local tumor immunity via the H(2) receptors, resulting in tumor growth promotion.

Best Amuse Bouche (2012)
Local's cauliflower mirepoix
Is it possible to want to make love to a cauliflower? Well, yeah, there are probably a few websites devoted to the subject — there usually are — but even for normal people, Local's amuse bouche, a cauliflower mirepoix, might be worth the risk of serious injury and professional/legal consequences. The only problem is that the small dish of silken, simple puree, spiked with a bit of heavy cream, is too small, especially if you want to take a bath in it, like we did.

Do not touch the Roses by InkyRoseWatch
©2013-2016 InkyRose
This is my entry for the Art Nouveau fairy tales contest: www.deviantart.com/journal/201… I chose my favouite fairy tale- 'Beauty and the Beast', but I decided to go for an interesting twist- Beauty and the Beast existing in the same person. Blessed by light and cursed by darkness at the same time.
I used my OC Hetta as inspiration for Beauty as she is a complex character- both a heroine and an anti-heroine at the same time.
I based her pose on Mucha's poster for champagne:
www.joieart.net/artwork/spotli… to tie in with the art nouveau theme.

OMG her dress has to be my favorite design of yours ever!! I love the transition between colors and themes and the flowy fabric
Awww! Thanks hon! I didn't win but I'm still really proud of this piece- it took forever but it was worth it to get some many great comments from so many great artists
Awesome Very well done!
Excellent work! All the best for the competition!
Really interesting idea. LOVE her dress and all the details in the roses!
That does make an interesting twist on the story. I like the way you showed that through your drawing. The colors look great and helps with the contrast between the beauty and beast character. I also like how you included the thorns on the darker, beastly side of the character. Wonderful work with this piece.
Thank you very much! Thanks for noticing all the details with the thorns etc, it makes all the hard work and frustration worth while!
This is incredible! I also really love the concept you came up with for this.
Thank you very much hon! The concept was a last minute lightning bolt strike of genius- they happen when I'm so tired I feel drunk! lol
Interesting point of view.
Exllcent work
This is an amazing piece, really loving the overall style of this!
Interesting twist on the story. Good luck with the contest.
I think this is first off another beautiful work of art you've created and secondly I love the idea of beauty and the beast existing as the same person
beautifully done, great colours too!
I love the split, its so subtly done but you can see it perfectly without there being a great big line down the middle! The roses are beautiful, and I do like the left side of her dress with its blue roses, and the thorns on that side are great
I think you did a fantastic job with this and allll the colours and details! Good luck with the contest!
Thank you very much, it was a big gamble, especially as I was sooo tired, but I think it definitely was worth it in the end, I was stupidly tried by the time I finished it though! I'm glad you noticed the thorns and the falling petals, it makes it all worth while when someone notices such things!
Lol tired to the point of lightheadedness and fuzzy confusion I imagine, but at least you can look back at this in relief and also feel proud that you managed it. Hooray! Yes I think it is noticeable, the brown and twisted branch work does show it off as the Beast side of her
really lovely, i specially love the background here, and the dress is really lovely as well, great job! i love it!
Nice picture, good job.

Shumlin: No role for Vt. in gun controlApril 25,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin is sticking to his guns in the face of inaction in Washington to address gun violence, saying Vermont needs no changes in its firearms laws.
Shumlin reiterated earlier comments that Vermont does not need background checks for gun buyers, limits on assault weapons or the sizes of ammunition clips. He earlier had said those issues should be addressed on a national basis by Congress.
A bill calling for background checks for gun buyers stalled in the U.S. Senate last week, so the sort of 50-state solution Shumlin says he would favor appears not to be on the immediate horizon.
Shumlin says despite that inaction in Washington, there's no need for legislation in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InPROCTOR A citizen committee has finalized a survey to poll residents on a new town office...

Works great until you wear it down
posted 6 years ago
I cannot rate this a 5..Let me explain why.
This pet hair magnet works and works great...It lifts hair out of the carpets that even the vacuum misses, cleans hair off furniture, drapes, flooring, our bedspread...Virtually anywhere.You rinse it under the faucet, pat dry with a paper towel and put it away until next time. It's quite easy to use and clean.
However, once the rubber gripper grooves (there are 3) wear down, it doesn't work that well and you have to buy a new one.
I guess that's why companies last so long...Once you use their product and like it, you keep going back for more!
Pros: Truly lift hair off carpets, etc.
Cons: Wears out once the grooves get smooth

Mediocre product
posted 6 years ago
I was not impressed at all by this product. With 2 cats, I was hoping it would remove hair from my desk chair which is fabric-and burgundy in color. I was disappointed that it did not remove imbedded hair as advertised. Seems to cause static cling too-and you have to constantly remove hair from the handle.
Pros: might work on bare floors
Cons: leaves hair on fabric furniture
