Food & Wine
Winter's freeze arrives in time for dessert
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 08 January 2014 00:01
- Written by Eliza Ridgeway - Town Crier Staff Writer
A frosty new feature on Los Altos' food scene opened just before Christmas – Smitten Ice Cream whips up made-to-order treats from a storefront attached to Whole Foods Market at 4800 El Camino Real.
"It's never too cold for ice cream," said founder Robyn Fisher of Smitten's December debut. "It wasn't part of the plan – we were held up in permitting – but it's a great outing for family and friends, and this time of year is all about that."
After earning a business degree at Stanford University, Fisher spent years studying the ice cream business and inventing a device, the "Brrr" machine, that uses liquid nitrogen to churn individual scoops of ice cream on demand. At the Los Altos store, staff mix up combinations of cream, sugar and ingredients such as mint leaves, TCHO chocolate or summer fruit. The rotating seasonal flavors change monthly, with Meyer Lemon Gingersnap ready to freeze now, and next month Earl Grey Milk Chocolate coming online.
The plumes of vapor that accompany each scoop's creation add drama to the dessert process, but Fisher noted that the technology freezes up ice cream with smaller ice crystals than typical, creating a "smoother, creamier product."
"The Brrr machine has special mixing beaters that maneuver the ice cream, and there's a large software component that measures viscosity and knows consistency, adding a technological element to every batch," she said.

By Wil Matthews
Bissell teammates Ian Boswell and Paul Mach went one-two on Sunday in the 50th edition of the Nevada City Classic.
With a big effort from Mach the duo vacuumed up solo breakaway Burke Swindlehurst (Team Give p/b Blackbottoms) with just three laps to go in the 90-minute race on the twisty, hilly 1.1-mile circuit through the Sierra gold-rush town.
Then the teammates shed a resurgent Floyd Landis — racing without team support in a retail jersey from Arrogant Bastard Ale — on the steeps of the final lap, and the 19-year-old Boswell sailed across the Broad Street finish line for the biggest victory of his career.
"This is my favorite race in the country, so I had motivation to dig a little deeper," said Boswell, who has competed in Nevada City three times. Showing the resilience of a promising pro rider, Boswell won this race just three days after a hard crash in the Tour de Nez prologue, with wounds still visible on his face and limbs.
Adding significant power to the chase was Landis, who said he was in Nevada City "for the same reason I started 15 years ago. I just want to race my bike."
Big crowds and a long break
Enthusiastic crowds lined much of the circuit, with the start/finish area, the climbs and anywhere near a café or bar being especially packed.
After Graham Howard (HPC) made an early solo effort, the ensuing chase distilled a select group from the 83 starters just 10 laps into the race, largely powered by Swindlehurst, the Bissell duo, Landis, Adam Switters (Yahoo Cycling Team) and eventual third-place Zach Davies (Groove Subaru Cycling Team.)
After another half-dozen laps, Swindlehurst punched it at the bottom of the steep and twisty climb and was away on his own until just before the end.
"I knew I wasn't going to be given any leash, so I just assumed they were 10 seconds back and went as hard as I could. You can't really tell on this course where riders are," he said. In fact, Swindlehurst's lead climbed to nearly 30 seconds.
"I thought he was going to make it," said Landis. "Burke deserved to win … he was the strongest rider here."
But the combined efforts of Mach, Howard, Switters and Landis ground Swindehurst's once-substantial lead to dust and the catch was made almost exactly where he launched his breakaway.
"I countered just after they caught me and got another five- or 10-second gap, but I was just out-teamed," Swindlehurst said. "I'm kicking myself for putting in a huge effort at Northstar (at the Tour de Nez) yesterday."
On the last lap, Landis dove first into the sharp left-hand turn following the fast Broad Street descent.
"I just like to be in front in situations like that," he said.
From there, Landis led through the series of sweeping turns and onto the climb, dropping Swindlehurst for good.
"I gave it 110 percent, and came in on fumes. I'm a bit disappointed," said Swindlehurst.
Landis next tried to shed Boswell and Mach, but couldn't close the deal.
"I tried to get rid of the Bissell guys, but it's hard when they're teammates," he said.
And through the top of the circuit Boswell and Mach found their advantage, taking the lead and bringing Davies with them. Boswell shot across the line barely 10 meters ahead of Mach, with Davies twice as far behind, followed closely by Landis and then Swindlehurst.
"It's a dream come true for me," said Boswell.
Nash gets the cash
The 50-minute women's event saw a near-reply of the previous day's Tour de Nez circuit race with Katerina Nash (Luna) and Megan Guarnier (TIBCO) peeling off the front and staying away to the end. And as in Saturday's race, Nash leaped on the last lap to hold a 10-second advantage over Guarnier for the win.
Because of scheduling conflicts with Nature Valley Grand Prix and Tour of America's Dairyland, only 34 starters lined up on Broad Street. But the bunch was not short on talent, and included experienced riders such as Vanderkitten's Barbara Howe, Yahoo Cycling's Jane Despas, and five riders from Touchstone Climbing.
Nash and TIBCO teammates Guarnier and Samantha Schneider got away just 20 minutes into the race.
"Megan seemed to be the strongest," Nash said . And indeed, Schneider would soon drop back to help control the pack, which was hovering about 15 seconds back.
On the last lap, Nash shed Guarnier on the climb, opening a 20-meter gap that she would hold to the finish.
A brave move on the fast downhill left-hand Broad Street corner by 17-year-old Kendall Ryan (NOW MS Society) netted the 2010 Dana Point Grand Prix winner third place.
"I didn't touch my brakes in the last corner, and that gave me enough of a gap," Ryan said. She turned that gap into a four-second advantage over the remnants of the group by the time the lap, and the race, were completed.

We pounded the pavement in more than 30 of the season's newest walking shoes. Read on to find out the pairs that won our hearts and soles.
To help you choose the best shoes for you, try these 3 steps to a perfect walking sneaker match:
1. Partner with a pro. Specialized running/walking shoe stores (like Road Runner Sports; roadrunner sports.com) normally do an in-depth gait analysis—often going so far as to videotape your feet while you run or walk on a treadmill--to identify a shoe that will offer you the perfect amount of support and cushion.
2. Bring your old pair. "The wear patterns on the sole of your old workout shoes offer many clues as to how your foot strikes the ground, which can help us determine the type of shoe that will fit you best," says Margaret Buehler, senior sales associate and expert shoe fitter at Fleet Feet Sports Chicago.
3. Don't be vain about sizing. Running shoes often run about a size smaller than flats or heels, says Buehler. So if you're normally a size 8, don't be afraid to try on a 9.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Jacce (Talk) 15:08, January 19, 2012
Thanks for reverting those vandal edits. The vandal was sneaky and changed his IP so a rollback would not work but thanks again :) Make sure to report them to Jacce for blocking --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 15:20, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Hi again. Unfortunately, the vandals don't want to stop. A better message would be to ignore them, let them do what they want and then when they have been bored and left, revert everything. It sends a better message. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 15:30, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

I have to say, you're doing a terrific job adding references to articles. Not many people simply go through articles adding references like that, and you even do proper naming of references when you use them in more than one place in the article. Kudos to you.

Most people don't tend to read the edit summaries, so there's no point telling people how to sign their posts in them. The best way is to go to the user's talkpage and use the {{NoSign}} template.

I seen that you noticed a vandal but only undone one of the edits. If you would like to have the powers, I can grant you rollback which will allow you to revert multiple edits from one user, so should help in cases like that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for fixing Rin Nohara's page. I was actually about to post something about it.

LenaDuBlacke (talk) 20:37, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
Not to sound rude, but you need to stop ignoring your user talkpage and actually reply to what people are posting here. It's really rude to ignore someone when they are asking legitimate questions of you. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 18:50, November 22, 2012 (UTC)
Redirects with surnames
Those exist generally because of the possibility of users actually looking for them. For example, it's rather common (or at least it used to be) for people to call Kimimaro "Kimimaro Kaguya", despite him never been shown to carry the surname. It's better to leave them as redirects than to simply delete them, only for someone to come and start a bad article as if we didn't have it.

We haven't heard much from Rafael Nadal since his semifinal loss to eventual champ Juan Martin del Potro at the US Open.
But the 6-time Grand Slammer has been practicing indoors working on game as seen here in these videos (thanks Jyocka!):
He's also recovered from his nagging ab injury and will be traveling to Pekin and will support Madrid's Olympic campaign followed by Shanghai, Paris-Bercy, Barclays Masters Cup, and then the Davis Cup final.
But it seems from these photos that tennis isn't the only thing Rafa's had on his mind. Good for him. (Note to blondie: Xisca may not be there but we're all watching.)
UPDATE: Looks like he also took in some Real Madrid today with papa Sebastian and sis Maria Isabel though he must've missed the joke going on behind him. Focus peeps!

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination — is a procedure for treating infertility. Sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly in your uterus around the time your ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized. Older types of artificial insemination placed the sperm in the vagina. While this was easier, it was not as successful as the current procedure.
The hoped-for outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg, resulting in a normal pregnancy. Depending on the reasons for infertility, IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications.

The Hopes and Dreams Foundation for Children, a Bergen County non-profit dedicated to supporting less fortunate and handicapped children and families, held its sixth annual Golf Outing fundraising event this past Monday at the Apple Ridge Country Club in Mahwah.
The reception featured a silent auction and live raffle. Attendees enjoyed a full-course meal and open bar, accompanied by desserts.
The event raised $50,000 for its cause and focused on acknowledging the recipients of awards and scholarships funded by the foundation. This year, the Nat G. Longo Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Casey Hollm, a 2014 graduate of Mahwah High School, and the Pony Power Therapies Award was presented in the amount of $5,040 to Pony Powers Executive Director Dana Spett to provide the opportunity for 8 children to attend an intensive summer camp.

Elvis-wannabe Leander Paes has hit back at Sania Mirza's decision to skip the Bangalore Open amidst the constant scrutiny by their home country. In a recent e-mail interview, the 21-year old Mirza criticized the media and her country for neglecting to focus equal attention on Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes' decision not to play the Chennai Open.
The Indian Davis Cup captain and seven-time Grand Slam winner told reporters after a pratice session for the upcoming tie,
"Look at every celebrity, who does not have controversies? We all have adversities. Every celebrity have adversities in their lives. It's how dignified and honest you are. It's about how you project yourself and how you handle them.[...] I do not want to get into it. I am not bothered but the greatest joy for any athlete is to play for the country and in the country and play for the people. Nobody is greater than the game. That's something Sania has to be careful about."We don't think Sania believes she's greater than the game of tennis. But the controversies and her own country's accusations have made these issues a political one - something that's becoming bigger than tennis itself.

Keystone XL will provide only 35 to 50 permanent jobs in the US, puts the largest fresh water aquifer in the US at high risk, threatens the environment and the public health, and China is the only one getting the oil. But hey, it does make billions and billions for the fat cats!
TransCanada desperately wants this video removed. They don't want you to know the truth. They have already claimed eminent domain on many families across the Midwest. They are stealing land from Americans to facilitate a pipeline that will net them billions while leaving America with nothing more than 35 to 50 permanent jobs, no oil and putting the heartland of America at risk.

Following the Money
Investing in TechnologyMany may already be ahead of the curve in spending on Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Others are spending large percentages to catch up.
Profits by ProductRevenue of precast, prestressed, and manufactured concrete has more than doubled since 2002. Ready-mix production has decreased as a percentage of producers' income.
Top Heavies More and more companies in the TCP 100 are not the traditional ready-mix or precast producers of the past. As a result, producers are not only competing against operations their own size or smaller, but against "goliaths" with investments in building materials and industries. Here are some of these companies with roots in this year's TCP 100
CP070801028L2.jpgView Charts and Graphs
Audax Group. Park Avenue Equity Partners. ShoreView Industries. These are some of the biggest names in today's concrete industry, but you won't find them painted on a ready-mix drum. That's because one of the world's most plentiful building materials has caught the eye of a group of people far away from dusty jobsites: private investors.
Managers of building material companies have used strategic acquisitions to strengthen their bottom lines since before cement was sold in bags. A producer buys a smaller one, streamlines the operation, and eventually enjoys bigger margins. It was only a matter of time before bankers decided they could do it just as well. Or even better.
The arrival of private equity groups was not new in 2006. Investors were already making blips on the radar screen with acquisitions in 2003. Now, we are realizing how far and wide the ripple effects of these deals can reach.
One of these ripples began in Boston and reached clear to Colombia, sweeping through North Carolina on the way. In late 2004, the Audax Group, a private equity firm, bought the Ready Mixed Concrete Co. (RMCC) in Raleigh, N.C. With operations in the Carolinas and Virginia, RMCC proved to be a lucrative investment. Audax resold the company to Cementos Argos in March 2006 for $435 million, about twice the original purchase price.
Another occurred in New York in 2005, when Park Avenue Equity Partners bought Meyer Material Co, a ready-mix and aggregates producer near Chicago. It ended when Aggregate Industries, a subsidiary of Holcim, bought Meyer in July 2006 as a foothold for new growth in the Midwest. (Recently, Park Avenue also acquired Coastal Concrete in Bluffton, S.C.)
An intriguing industry
Concrete professionals, including some who have made a career in the industry, might scratch their heads and ask, what makes private equity firms think they know about concrete operations? Can pencil-pushers really understand how to keep a ready-mix or precast plant running, much less improve it?
"A private equity firm can provide capital, strategic guidance, and board-level participation to turn a 500,000 yard producer into a 2 million yard producer," says Alan Blackburn, managing director of Gulf-Star Group Investment Bankers. Blackburn has more 20 years of experience as an investment banker, with particular expertise in the construction materials industry. "The primary reason for a private business owner to get involved with an investment firm is to grow the business with a partner and still maintain some independence, rather than being folded into a larger company."
Investors seem to be following a trend that's been popular in the industry for years, but are adding a twist. Rather than absorbing a company into a larger operation and then looking for ways to streamline the two businesses, investors first look for ways to make individual companies more efficient, and then sell them as good acquisition candidates to other businesses.
When companies in the business, or "strategic buyers," acquire and consolidate other companies, it's generally with the goal of expanding and strengthening the industry. But investors acquire producers to realize a return on their money, and establish a track record of successful investments. "Most of these partnerships have a limited lifespan," says Blackburn. "It's just a matter of time before the producer will be for sale again."
When investors act as middle-men, they can increase the value of smaller companies. They spend their time and money making businesses more profitable, so acquiring companies don't have to. In cases like this, an investor's involvement can work to the industry's advantage.

just got the sweater an love It!!!
We hate to be the bearer of bad news…but someone's gotta get your head back into the school game. It's time to unpack from all of the summertime shenanigans. Let's bid adieu to our beloved beach escapes, road trips and vacation getaways. And let's prepare ourselves for some back-to-school realness. We know, it totally sucks! But just think of it this way- you're gonna be one quarter closer to living the life you've always dreamed of. Like being a fashion editor, or a celebrity stylist, or a marketing manager. Or maybe you're not even headed into the fashion industry, but you'll still be the best dressed anthropologist this side of the Amazon rainforest! So turn that frown upside down, dab on some lip gloss and let's greet this fall quarter with a smile!
To make the transition easier, we pulled together some back-to-school essentials. Check them out!cut-out cat ear sunglasses, leather woven ipad case, woven southwest watch, flap over southwest satchel, star earphones, knit zigzag scarf, cat loafers, varsity cardigan
We've laced you up with some sunglasses for when you're studying outdoors in the quad. An iPad case to protect that uber expensive gadget you worked so hard for over the summer. A watch to keep you from getting humiliated by Professor Mean Pants because you were late…again. A satchel to keep all your school thangs in. Some earphones to help drown out the inconsiderate chatter inside the library. Some comfortable flats to change into because it turned out that walking across campus in 5 inch heels was NOT a good idea. A scarf to keep you warm when the classroom gets freakishly cold because the student aid doesn't know how to work the a/c. And finally… a varsity cardigan because it will give everyone the impression you're dating some hot college jock- even though you're totally not.
What do you think? Did we leave anything out?

Darlington Post Race Report - May 2012
Posted by: lori on May 13, 2012
Tagged in: Untagged
The GEICO Racing Team Records Eighth Top-25 Finish of the 2012 Season
DARLINGTON, S.C. (May 12, 2012) – There is a reason Darlington Raceway is known as 'The Lady in Black.' In one moment, a driver can be conquering the lady and in the next, she has reared her ugly head. This is why many drivers love going to the prestigious South Carolina track. GEICO Racing driver Casey Mears is no different and lists Darlington as his favorite racetrack on the Sprint Cup Series circuit.
Coming off a strong run at Talladega, which saw the No. 13 GEICO Ford Fusion lead laps and run at the front of the field, Mears and the Germain Racing team looked forward to the battle in Saturday night's Southern 500. While their 31st place qualifying effort fell short of expectations, Mears had been 16th in the weekend's final practice session earlier the same day, giving hope to the GEICO team.
As the 368-lap event began, Mears quickly knew that the handling of the GEICO machine was off. A long green flag run forced the crew to compete through three pit cycles before the first caution flag was displayed on lap 173. The California native reported to Crew Chief Bootie Barker that the Ford was loose in turns one and two and tight in turns three and four. Barker instructed Mears to take the wave around under the first yellow period to regain a lap.
The field restarted on lap 180 with Mears scored in the 25th position. The report from the driver's seat over the next 100 laps was that the GEICO Ford Fusion was too tight to turn well off the center of the corner. Despite this handling condition, Mears continued to push through and climb up to the 23rd position by lap 300.
Over the final 68 laps, four cautions slowed the pace as the action heated up on the track. Mears and the GEICO team relished every opportunity to make adjustments on their Ford Fusion, which resulted in a 22nd-place finish, nine positions ahead of where they started. This was the team's eighth top-25 effort of the 2012 season.
"We didn't have the handling right on our GEICO Ford Fusion for most of the night, but I'm proud of these guys for not giving up," said Mears. "Bootie kept making adjustments every chance we could and it was definitely better towards the end. Darlington is one of my favorite tracks to race at but you have to hit the set-up just right to run with the leaders. Overall, another top-25 finish for our team is nice and we will focus on Charlotte for the next couple weeks."
Germain Racing remains 28th in the Owner Point standings, just 29 points outside the top-25.
Mears and the GEICO Racing team will now spend the next two weeks at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Sprint All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600. Watch all coverage of the Sprint Showdown and All-Star Race live on SPEED Channel on Saturday, May 19.

Moen Named USTFCCCA Regional Athlete Of The Year
AMES, Iowa - The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named Iowa State junior Katy Moen as the Midwest Regional Women's Track Athlete of the Year. Moen put together a career season that was highlighted by a phenomenal postseason run to earn the award.
Moen burst into the national spotlight as one of the nation's top distance runners in 2014, clocking personal records in each of her regular season races. The Fairbank, Iowa, native posted a mark of 15:56.53 in the Mt. SAC Relays' 5,000m and followed that performance with a 33:56.80 in the 10,000m at the Stanford Invitational.
With the times, Moen became the fifth Cyclone in program history to run a sub-16 minute 5K and a sub-34 minute 10K. Moen now ranks at No. 6 on Iowa State's all-time 5K list and No. 7 on the 10K list. She also posted a PR of 4:22.51 in the Payton Jordan 1,500m to rank No. 8 in program history.
Entering the postseason, Moen competed in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the Big 12 Championships. The Cyclone notched 20 team points at the conference championships, becoming the second in program history to win both the 5,000m and 10,000m in the same conference championship event.
Moen kept the momentum rolling at the NCAA West Preliminaries, where she went on to win the 10,000m to mark her third victory in as many races. She then came back two days later to earn her second NCAA championship-qualifying mark in the 5,000m, taking third in her heat.
Moen is just one of five student-athletes to qualify for both the 5,000m and 10,000m at this year's NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She is seeded at No. 10 in the 10K field and No. 22 in the 5K.
Each of the regions, which are the same as those used during the Division I cross country season, honored both genders' top track athletes and field athletes and the top men's and women's head coaches and assistant coaches. Award winners were determined by a vote of USTFCCCA member coaches.

Gov.'s budget rouses Ohio party chairmen to debate
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state's Republican Party chairman took aim Thursday at Democrats for criticizing the GOP governor's proposed budget, while the Democratic party chairman accused him of "rhetorical gymnastics."
The brouhaha over the two-year state spending blueprint began at a GOP news conference announcing a new website aimed at countering Democratic attacks on the budget and highlighting certain opposing votes on policies.
But GOP Chairman Bob Bennett, when asked about Gov. John Kasich's budget, told reporters that the state party is neither endorsing nor opposing it. He said, though, he liked its overall thrust.
"I think it's good for Ohioans," he said. "It will create jobs. It will continue to create jobs."
But he declined to take a position on specific pieces of the $63.1 billion proposal, saying he wanted to let the Legislature debate them.
Bennett's spokesman later said the state party can't formally endorse the plan without approval from party leaders but the chairman is supportive of the budget.
The state's Democratic Party chairman, Chris Redfern, seized on Bennett's comments, noting apparent confusion between the words "endorse" and "support."
"You're either with the guy or against the guy," Redfern said.
Redfern said he was "unequivocally" opposed to the spending plan and would urge his colleagues not to back it.
Kasich's budget incorporates a significant rewrite of Ohio's tax code that delivers $1.4 billion in tax cuts over three years.
It would reduce the tax rate on virtually all small businesses by 50 percent, cut the income tax rate statewide by 20 percent over three years and lower the sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 5 percent.
But the revisions also would impose sales taxes on professional services — including lawyers, lobbyists and accountants — a move sure to set off a policy fight at the Statehouse, where Republicans control both chambers.
Bennett wouldn't say where the Republican party stood on the sales tax provisions, saying he would leave it to lawmakers to review and hear testimony.
"I'm not going to defend anything that's going to be before the Legislature as far as taxes are concerned," Bennett said.
But he added he believed every Ohio resident would benefit from the tax cuts.
The governor also has opted to support expansion of Medicaid under the federal health care law, providing health care coverage to potentially 366,000 Ohio residents.
Kasich has said he still opposes the health insurance mandate aspect of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. But the decision to expand the federal-state program sets up a potential fight among the governor and Republican lawmakers who are strongly against the federal law.
Bennett declined to say where he stood on it.
Kasich is up for re-election next year. Bennett, asked whether that played a role in the GOP's move to create the website against Democrats, said, "I think we would have done this two years ago if we knew what the Democrats were going to do two years ago. And that is be obstructionists on everything that he proposed."
He said he's concerned Democrats are going to vote against the budget without participating in the process.
"They are just going to be against it to be against the governor," he said.
Some Democrats, including House Democratic Leader Armond Budish, have praised the governor's move to expand Medicaid.
Redfern, also a state lawmaker, backs the idea and said he "absolutely will endorse" it. He said he expects his Democratic colleagues to try to amend the budget to hold a separate vote on the broadening Medicaid coverage.
"Politics is an interesting business to be in," Redfern told reporters. "And to see the rhetorical gymnastics that we've encountered this morning gives even me pause."

PA: This is very, very kind of you. Thank you very much!!
Group blogs have many advantages. More content and larger readership are often two. They can cover more perspectives and generate more traffic. There was a time when most blogging was by we "lone wolves" (so to speak), but not anymore. I count myself lucky to have started when I did because I doubt the blog would have had half the attention it receives now - about 500ish hits per day - if I launched it in 2012 instead of 2006. Moreover, the main original purpose of the Brooks Blog - a website to host drafts of new work - has passed with my new website http://thombrooks.info
I strongly recommend blogging as a great way to become better known in the profession. It has been invaluable to me and my work. There are heavy costs in writing regular blog posts, editing a journal, and keeping on top of many other commitments hence my bowing out after six years. But others should join in the fun if they haven't already. Something may often be better than nothing.
Whenever stuck for ideas, Philosophers Anonymous is the perfect place to help see the world in a much different (and more entertaining) light. The "king" may be gone, but the reign of Emperor Spiros continues...

Nearly everyone can remember the moment when they looked in the mirror and saw their first expression line, furrow or age spot. In that instant, many of us begin to envision deep wrinkles like an army, waiting to invade and decimate the youthful appearance of our skin. Fortunately, the effects of the agents of aging begin slowly at first, giving you time to fight back and shield your skin from their harmful actions. The DDF Anti-Aging Preventative skin care collection contains formulas designed to minimize the signs associate with the aging process to keep wrinkles and hyperpigmentation at bay.
The DDF Anti-Aging Preventative range is the work of Dr. Howard Sobel, a New York City-based dermatologist who is an expert at treating signs of aging. When formulating this skin care line, Sobel focused on slowing down the aging process through a two-prong approach: antioxidant protection to limit cell-destroying oxidative damage and sunscreen protection to prevent photo-damage. The formulas in the DDF Anti-Aging Preventative collection effectively shield the skin and nourish it with blends of ingredients based on the treatments given at Sobel's practice.
Because aging is best treated before the real problems begin, DDF Anti-Aging Preventative was launched as a solution for anyone wanting to be one step ahead of the aging process.

Electronic drums aren't really drums at all. In fact, they're synthesizers made to mimic the sound of an acoustic drum kit, offering you a full suite of sounds that will take your rhythms to unbelievable new heights. From its first noted use by Graeme Edge of the Moody Blues on their 1971 album "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor," through to its modern status as a must have for touring and casual musicians alike, electronic drums open your kit up to an almost limitless world of possibility. One of the best features of an electronic drum kit is that you control the volume. As a drummer, you know it can be a hassle to find a time and place to practice that won't bother your friends, family and neighbors. With an electronic drum kit, location is no longer an issue. Simply keep the volume low or, even better, plug in your headphones and rock out as hard as you want. Just because you can keep the volume low, doesn't mean you have to keep the volume low. Electronic drums definitely get loud, reacting to your hits for a true to life drumming experience. The harder you hit your electronic drums, the louder they are going to sound, allowing you to fill any room with your unbeatable grooves. With electronic drum kits, you have unparalleled access to different tones, set ups and styles to perfect your sound. Certain kits, such as the Simmons SDX5, include pre-set songs to play along and learn with, while more advanced kits like the SD1000 offer hundreds of drum, percussion and cymbal combinations to complement any style of play. Whether you're looking for versatility an acoustic drum kit can't provide, or just for a way to hone your skill in a quiet environment, an electronic drum kit will be a valuable addition to your musical space. With options that will suit all kinds of play, the exploration of the unlimited sounds offered is only the beginning of what one of these exciting electronic kits can provide.

Obama's failed promises: Iowa edition
The good folks at the RNC took a look at what Obama promised in Iowa four years ago …. and the record of failure that followed. The result is the following video, "Failed Promises: Iowa Edition" along with a little research to demonstrate Obama's failure: In Des Moines, Iowa, four years ago Obama promised that when "We've made the changes we believe in," we'd be | Read More »

Winter is tough on gardeners, who itch to be outside, getting their hands into the soil. It's still a bit early to start seeds, and houseplants and catalogues can only take you so far. Sigh.
But it's a grand time to learn more about your passion, if you're so inclined. When it's cold and snowy, you can sit through a day of lectures with equanimity.
Last weekend, for example, I attended the Toronto Master Gardeners technical update, which was a day-long symposium dedicated to The Global Gardener: Gardening in a Changing Climate held at Toronto Botanical Garden. I trotted along to several seminars (on bio-intensive gardening and backyard greenhouses), hobnobbed with more than 200 fellow gardeners from around Ontario, ate a delicious lunch, then listened to a fact-filled and thought-provoking keynote address given by Natalie Iwanycki and Alex Henderson of Royal Botanical Gardens.
One of the things Natalie and Alex touched on was Plant Watch, a volunteer monitoring program designed to help identify changes that might be affecting our environment. The way it works is gardeners across the country help record flowering times for selected plant species in their area, in effect becoming citizen-scientists. The program is a joint venture between the Canadian Nature Federation and Environment Canada's Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network Coordinating Office (EMANCO). Check it out at www.plantwatch.ca–you can get your kids involved as well.

Sanchez ready to help KC
Newly-acquired pitcher met with members of the local media at Kauffman Stadium on Thursday morning. The lefty says that he is healthy and has been working out in preparation for the season. The soft-spoken Sanchez brings postseason experience from the 2010 World Series champion Giants and is focused on helping the Royals win in 2012. While he has never pitched at Kauffman Stadium, Sanchez was on hand when KC hosted San Francisco in 2008. He sees The K as a pitcher's park and is also fine with the warm Midwestern summers, which share some similarities to his native Puerto Rico.

ABS gives you wings. This airbag avalanche pack has two massive inflatable side bags to give you 170 liters of additional volume that can help you float to the top in the event of a slide. These bags also help protect against trauma during impact. With separate closure and suction, if one bag is damaged, you have another large bag that will remain sufficiently inflated. Its deployment system features a height-adjustable handle so safety is always close at hand. The nitrogen-filled canister is refillable and replaceable. Avalanches are unpredictable, and preparedness can not only save your life but give you peace of mind as your travel. The survival rate with this system is extremely high, but this does not obviate the need for education, training, and the proper equipment.
An included adjustable activation handle comes with a small, internal pressurized release capsule and can be set up on the left or right shoulder strap for easy access, and safety bracket zips into a compartment on either shoulder strap to prevent accidental releases. When pulled, the activation handle punctures the small internal trigger capsule, which in turn activates the piercing unit, puncturing the main canister (also included) to fill the airbags within seconds.The shoulder straps, waist belt, and secure leg strap work together to ensure that the pack stays securely attached and correctly oriented, even in the turmoil of a powerful slide. Once you've deployed the airbags, you must replace the trigger handle and the airbag-inflating canister (replacement must be done through ABS). The other parts of the system are reusable—just fold up the airbags according to the instructions and re-pack them in the hook-and-loop side panel compartments, attach the new canister and trigger handle, and you're ready to ride.
This base unit comes with a 15-liter or 915 cubic-inch zip-on pack. There are mounts for your skis, snowboard, or snowshoes, plus an ice axe carrier and a stowable helmet attachment. An emergency compartment holds your shovel, probe, etc., for quick and easy access. A waterproof zipper and secure multiple inner pockets protect valuables. A water-repellent padded back panel, ergonomically shaped shoulder straps, height-adjustable chest strap, and padded hip-belt make carrying the pack easy. This is a great size for day touring and fast and light trips; other zip-on covers are available separately, so you can use the ABS system with all different size packs, for epic adventures or when guiding a group.

What is the difference between this model and the discontinued model on sale?
ABS did make a couple of improvements over last years model (the discontinued bag). For example, they added some padding to the backpanel, which was already pretty cozy, and included a third top zippered compartment and a small front zippered compartment.
The diagonal carry works a bit better now and is better thought out. The venturi valves on the airbags themselves also now have mesh snow filters on there which will help in keeping them clear during inflation (not a huge issue to begin with but heck why not). The helmet carry hammock is much nicer now as well.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - How could the tragedy in Connecticut influence possible changes in our nation's gun laws?
Was the slaughter of 20 children the tipping point?
The Center estimates there are 280 million guns in the hands of private citizens in this country. That's one for every man, woman and child. We used social media to solicit your questions and here's what we learned.
"There's a grave misconception in the United States that guns are registered, that we know who owns what gun," said Jon Vernick, Johns Hopkins Center For Gun Policy.
One question you had: why is it so hard for the U.S. to enact policies like in the U.K. that have reduced mass shootings? What actions can be taken?
A 1986 law actually forbids the federal government from registering guns. Some states do have as a matter of state law, and CT is one of them, a registration requirement, but the majority of states don't register guns so it's very hard to hold the owners accountable for bad things that happen with those guns.
Another question that has come up: How can we convince gun enthusiasts that controls don't eliminate the right to legitimately and safely own guns?
"One fear of gun enthusiasts has always been that greater restrictions are a step down the slippery slope towards completely banning handguns, but that option has now been taken off the political table by the Supreme Court, so gun enthusiasts really shouldn't have anything to fear from universal background checks,." said Vernick.
And this question: How do we get more guns into the hands of responsible people and more guns at school to prevent similar scenarios from happening?
"The argument goes criminals will be afraid of encountering an armed civilian. Unfortunately, the research doesn't bear that out. There isn't credible, responsible, persuasive evidence that arming civilians actually reduces rates of crime," said Vernick.
There's also evidence that if one looks at people who are specially trained to own guns and to use them in dangerous situations, like police, sadly don't often hit what they're aiming at.
Vernick said that we're likely to see more discussion of universal background checks to keep guns out of the hands of high-risk people, and also a potential policy move to address military-style assault weapons in the hands of civilians.

As the production of consumer goods, including pharmaceuticals, had previously taken place in other socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe, regional players were able to leverage name-brand recognition and existing production assets to dominate the Russian market. Multinationals entered the fray, but many retreated when the economy was crushed in 1998 by the ruble meltdown that reduced the currency's value against the U.S. dollar by 300% to 400% almost overnight.However, the Russian economy quickly rebounded from the crisis, thanks to its immense natural resources, and is now a bona fide petro-economy with net creditor status. President Vladimir Putin's dominant United Russia party has been able to achieve budget surpluses large enough to put billions of dollars away for the future while funding tremendous works in four national programs, the largest of which is healthcare.
Declining Population
World Health Organization (WHO) statistics speak volumes about the negative effects of more than a decade without any real national healthcare coverage. The health of Russia's population has dipped to a ranking of 127th out of 192 WHO member states, and the public health system is ranked even lower at 130th. Communicable diseases represent a substantially higher share of the disease burden than in Europe, and Russia has posted the world's highest increase in HIV incidence rates. Russian men have suffered the most severe health deterioration and now die at an average age of 59.
This is principally due to heart disease and external causes (such as accidents, poisoning and injuries) and is largely attributed to unstable economic conditions, unhealthy lifestyles and a widespread lack of attention to risk factors. Additionally, more than two-thirds of the population lives in areas affected by air pollution and 63% of males smoke, so the prevalence of respiratory disease is high and cardiovascular disease causes 56% of all Russian deaths. The two major killers, ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, each cause at least 400% more deaths per 100,000 people per year than in the European Union (EU).
Coupled with this general decline in health, the increased annual federal healthcare budget - worth $3.9 billion for drugs and a total of $5.7 billion in 2006 - has suddenly made Russia a hotbed of pharmaceutical industry activity. The first large-scale federal social program since the creation of the Russian Federation, the DLO, was launched in the beginning of 2005 to bring greater access to modern pharmaceuticals to a population of 8 million pensioners and low-income families. The program's inaugural $1.8 billion budget, which has settled at $1.2 billion in 2006 and 2007, was the major catalyst behind the Russian pharmaceutical market's rise to a global ranking of 12th in 2005 before it became the world's 10th largest commercial drug market in 2006. Through world-leading 28% growth, Russia is now an $8.4 billion ready-to-use-drug market.
The DLO was a driving force behind the state-financed sector's 82% growth and increased its contribution to the overall Russian market to 39%, a level which approaches that of the US. However, many industry insiders are concerned about the hasty implementation, as well as corruption in the unsophisticated program, which has recently led to budget overruns, more than $1 billion in outstanding bills, and consequently, greatly reduced or halted drug deliveries in many cases.

Portland Design Works Bourbon Grips $0.00
There are many components that a complete a bicycle, but only one provides a tactile experience to a rider -- the grips. And, while there are plenty of options out there, only a few of them provide the style and comfort of genuine leather like the Portland Design Works Bourbon Grips.
The full-grain leather is sourced from Italy and it's tanned and conditioned with natural oils. This gives the durable leather rich colors and a soft texture. The Bourbon Grip features polished lock rings with the brown finish, while the dark finish is complemented with anodized black rings for subdued class.

what is the largest diameter of a handlebar that these grips can be mounted on?
Typically, most grips that are lock-on style are designed around a handlebar with a 22.2mm outer diameter. This is what most mountain bike, cruiser, and BMX bars are. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask away!
Product Overview
The folks over at PDW take us through the features of these grips.
Get gripped because these things are gorgeous.
the look, the taste, of genuine leather.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
its the small touches the make my bike better than yours, like these leather grips with (probably) hand stitched seams. from the look and feel of the leather i think they sourced it from a classic 1966 Alpha Romeo Giulia GTC. so step up your game, and stay classy. these grips are worth the cash if you have a beloved commuter or refurbished classic.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Classic/vintage leather grips. I bought these to revamp my old 70s style cruiser. I lost one of my first pair because my bars were slightly too small, but I added some tape to my bars before adding the second set. Work great now! Really comfortable grips too.

Lucious Among Many Cyclones to Receive Diplomas
AMES, Iowa – Korie Lucious has accomplished a lot in college, but earning his degree at Iowa State may be one of his highest honors.
Lucious will receive his diploma tomorrow in Hilton Coliseum during Iowa State graduation festivities. The Cyclones were 16-1 in Hilton Coliseum with Lucious running the point. Chalk up another "Hilton Magic" moment for Lucious tomorrow.
"This means a lot for me and my family," Lucious said. "I am the only person from my family to graduate from a four-year school. This is a big accomplishment and something I am very proud of."
Of the six seniors on Iowa State's 2012-13 roster, five of them (Lucious, Will Clyburn, Chris Babb, Anthony Booker and Austin McBeth) have earned their degrees from Iowa State. Tyrus McGee is scheduled to finish up his coursework after the summer session.
A native Milwaukee, Wis., Lucious played in three NCAA Tournaments in his career (two with Michigan State, one with Iowa State) and was an important cog in Iowa State's successful 2012-13 campaign.
Lucious recorded 195 assists, the fourth-best single-season total in school history, and drilled 68 3-pointers, the 11th-best season output in the ISU record book, in his lone season for the Cyclones. He will continue to pursue his dream of playing professional hoops, but Lucious knows you can't play basketball forever.
"You can't play basketball after 40," Lucious joked. "To have my degree to fall back on is a great thing to have. I want to play basketball, but you can get injured at any time."
Lucious was one of many recent Cyclone graduates who attended the Iowa State graduation luncheon this afternoon. Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard spoke to the group and expressed his gratitude toward their hard work and dedication.
"The most important thing you do at Iowa State isn't making the last-second shot or winning the race to claim the Big 12 title, it's walking across the stage at Hilton Coliseum," Pollard said.

Just read this article in the boise weekly about wild hogs, Dosnt look good.
Hopefully we can stay ahead of them.
Maybe we can get to start hunting them!!! I have always wanted to bow hunt hogs, but didnt want to go south to do it.
I hunt because......
wolfalonID you can def. go hunt them now. They are not WILD and the IDF&G has said that all you need is a valid hunting license to go shoot them. I have heard they are in the cat-tails along the CJ Strike east end, but have not had a chance to go check it out. Might just take the boat down there soon and cruise the bank shooting Carp and have the regular bow in the boat just in case a hog shows himself.

Really? So no tag needed? Well guess thats a stupid question being there isnt a tag listed in the book for them.
So they are like yotes? shoot em at will? As far as wild, I am in reference to them not being owned by a rancher or private party. Wild as in you can shoot them and eat em and not get in trouble for it?
If they are open any time, Im gonna make me a trip down there sometime soon.
I hunt because......
IDF&G wants them gone there is basically an open season. Like coyotes but you can eat them.
Yes, open season. They are feral, not wild which basically means that someone let them go from their ranch and now they are breeding like crazy. It doesn't take long for them to get a healthy population and IDF&G wants them gone like T43 said. I have been told they are good bacon if you get a couple young sows. They are very destructive critters too. I would like to go chase them too, but I will be sitting in a turkey blind tomorrow and then the Wounded Warrior 3D shoot on Sat. Then here soon I'll be sitting in a treestand on my bear bait. Too many things to do with too little time. Man that powerball needs to call my name soon..;-)
