- 'Stubborn' inflation seen easing in December on lower vegetable pricesRetail inflation in India slows to 9.87 pct in Dec as vegetables, fruits give relief on price frontInflation declines to 5-month low at 6.16 pc, RBI may ease interest rates to prop up growthAnalysts see RBI holding rates on steep fall in inflation
War against price rise will remain the "overriding policy priority" of Congress, AICC said today amid a growing feeling in the rank and file that inflation hit the party in the recent Assembly elections where it suffered one of the worst defeats in the recent times.
"Congress believes that price rise especially of essential commodities is the biggest burden on the common man... The war against price rise will continue to remain the overriding policy priority of the Congress party," said a resolution at the AICC meet here.
The AICC resolution on price rise came a day after the Congress Working Committee meet, which saw party leaders "cornering" the government over its economic policies and targeting Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily in particular over rise in petroleum prices and cap on subsidised LPG cylinders.
Immediately after the results of Assembly elections in Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgharh in which Congress suffered a humiliating defeat, party President Sonia Gandhi had on December 8, last year accepted price rise as one of the factors for the Congress drubbing.
In the resolution, the party said that while some of the price rise is due to high prices of commodities in the international markets and other external factors, Congress remains committed to doing everything in its command to fight price rise.
"It is with this intent that all Congress-ruled states have delisted fruits and vegetables from their respective Agriculture Produce Marketing Committees (APMC) Acts so that the farmers have a choice where to sell their produce by eliminating the middleman and the consumers get the benefit of lower prices," it said.
The resolution said that all Congress-ruled states are also invoking the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 to sternly deal with hoarding, black marketing and profiteering.
"Chronic offenders will also be detained under the Prevention of Black Marketing and Maintenance of Supplies of Essential Commodities Act, 1980," it said.
These measures were part of the five-point formula advocated by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi during a meeting of 11 Congress Chief Ministers out of the 12 party-ruled states to contain inflation.
The party resolution reaffirmed its commitment to high economic growth, which is essential to create jobs and increase incomes of the common man.
However, Congress President Sonia Gandhi had a word of caution as she said that while "growth is essential and must be sustained but rapid growth alone cannot address the problems arising out of continuing disparities".

Comments about Nashbar Duro Pro Road Tire:
Just put the tires on my bike, smooth ride. Had a pinch flat the first ride, my bad on the install. On the same ride three others had puncture flats from road debris, not me. Good so far, I only gave 4 stars because I don't have a lot of miles on these tires. Let's see what what happens in a couple of months.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Tire
By Mark
from Little Rock
I've ridden more than a 1000 miles, with this tire on the rear of my bike, and have yet to have a flat. It feels like a very durable tire, that let me spend more time riding, instead of fixing flats. I like that!
Great compromise for daily riders
By mbb
from West Lafayette, IN
So far so good - a few hundred miles in and the Duro Pros have proven to be a great compromise - ride quality (25 mm at 115 psi), rolling resistance, weight, and durability (lots of sharp gravel on the sides of the roads that I have to ride). Wear characteristics and durability are far superior to other inexpensive tires, yet I've noticed no lack of traction - or loss of confidence - cornering, hitting hot pavement, or coming into contact with water.

Great value tires
By Any weather guy
from Newfoundland, Canada
About Me Avid Cyclist
Long lasting, flat resistant, economical tires. Handle well in the rain. Stronger sidewalks than many of the pricier brand names. I average 6000 miles per set in all weather conditions with very few flats. All you really need! Not the lightest tires on the market but more than worth the few extra grams for the flat resistance and sidewall superiority.
Excellant price and quality

Wears well
good tires for the money
By Dave
from Independence Mo.
Good tires for the money. 2,500 on the back before i hit a sharp rock. Over 5,000 miles on the front.
Great Tire!
By Bikingdad
from New Hope, MN
I enjoy long distance riding, but live in a climate with a short road cycling season. Bought these on a whim before the season started last year because price was so good versus the name tires I usually bought. I have over 3,500 miles on them and they are still going! I just bought another set to have as abackup. They are going to wear out, eventually!
1500 miles no flats - takes high pressure
By Reisterbrau
from Olympia, WA
I use these tires on my carbon road bike with Oval Wheel set. At 195 lbs. I can be tough on tires. I pump these tires up to 125 lbs. and they don't complain. No more problems with pinch flats like on my lower pressure tires. With over 1500 miles on these I've had zero problems. No flats! Yes I have ridden over glass, hit pot holes and they survived unscathed. I'm surprised at how much they smooth the road out at 125PSI. I have lost a little rubber due to road gravel taking tiny chunks out near the side of the tread. But I'm very pleased with their performance. I'm pleased with my purchase.
I've paid more
By Cyquixote
from Central Flo-duh
for tires. These are just as rubbery, round, and black as the high priced tread. They perform and wear just as well. I've purchased tires that were supposed to get 6,000 miles that were done with me at around 2,000 of a 3,700 mile trans-continental trip, and that's what I expect from these but at well below half the price. I'm tired of paying too much for tires, so I buy these four at a time without breaking the bank.
Another reliable year on the Duro Pro Tire
By Mike
from York, PA
I put at least 1,500 - 2,000 miles on my duro pro tires in 2014 and never changed a flat. Please do not change this tire.

Jack Troup's 1932 Ford Deuce CoupeWritten by on January 1, 1998 A Special Little Arrest-Me Red Five-Window Highboy
Those who served in the armed forces may remember the slogan of the U.S. Armys 1st Infantry Division: If youre gonna be one, you might as well be a Big Red One! Veteran rodder Jack Troup, a Maryland police officer, has a similar thought: If youre going to own a hot rod, you might as well own an arrest-me-red five-window Deuce coupe.
A steel coupe body and original frame were purchased back in 1987 from a Kenosha, Wisconsin, police officer but sat untouched for 10 years. One day, fellow police officer and friend Kathy Brown urged Jack to create the street rod of his dreams and added moral support throughout the construction. Built with help from Larry Rhodes and his son, Ron, Jacks immaculate and well-detailed highboy has recently earned top honors at a number of national rod runs: a Top 25 from the Shades of the Past in 1997, a Magnum Axle award, and a Real Hot Rod award from Goodguys, plus Street Rodders Top 10, just to name a few.
The chassis is a Barry Lobecks Hot Rod Shop and Larry Rhodes Auto collaboration that employs raised crossmembers at the ends and tube crossmembers through the center. (Notice how the exhaust runs between the framerails.) The Mullins steering box, steering arms, and linkage are also modified to allow the coupe to sit very low without dragging anything on the driveway.
We first photographed Jacks Deuce coupe at the NSRA Nats East in York, Pennsylvania. Every time we saw him and the coupe, he was picking up another award, which verified our opinion that his was a special little five-window highoy. Hands up or hands down, this is a police escort anyone would be proud to have.

A Ray Charles tune in which Brother Ray doesn't sing and David "Fathead" Newman doesn't play tenor sax.
A ballad which is not so sedate, from possibly the best known New Orleans alto player.

New Orleans Saints defensive back Jabari Greer will co-host "Jazz from the French Market" with Sondra Bibb on Monday, July 22, from 4 - 7p.

This week's episode is dedicated to two of New Orleans' most beloved pieces of artistry– music and the culinary arts. We enjoy an hour-long set of Otra, an Afro-Cuban Jazz band from New Orleans. In this set, they call out to the French Quarter Fest crowd back in 2008, "Do what feels good. Music is for everyone.
Making cheese can be a long process, depending on what cheese is the target flavor mission. I have only attempted cheese making twice,( both ricotta) because of the minimal amount of chance for a f%&k up. And, I can still dance around the house and listen to new cd's and reflect on upcoming events. Once such event is Tales of the Cocktail. Being a bartender and restauranteur, Tales is a huge event for the city of New Orleans. Originally started as a dinner party among friends, TOTC has grown into one of the biggest spirit events in possibly the world. Five days of tasting rooms, seminars, spirited dinners and parties all hightlighting spirits and cocktails and their resurgence and evolution.
I have been going/involved with tales of the cocktail since 2007, and it has been a blast. Bartenders, distillers, writers, drinkers all descend on the Hotel Monteleone and talk, imbibe, dance and eat their way through all things spirits. The seminars range from $45 to $60 and highlight different aspects of a professional bar. Some examples: The history of Hendricks, Creating an excel spreadsheet for inventory, The Manhattan, Ice and its different styles. You get the point. The price includes what ever cocktails are created for specific seminars. The tasting rooms are just that, free samples of whatever spirit has the room. Usually a cocktail and a chance to taste the spirit in its original form. Don't forget peoples, water is your friend!! The spirited dinners pair a restaurant and a mixologist(s) with an theme and specific spirits for a price. Somewhere between $75 and $100 per person. This is a one of a kind experience to see how the cities chefs work with different spirits and relate them to cuisine. These take place on the Thursday during tales(July 18th, 2013.)

On proper waterproofing
(Page 2 of 2)
What I've seen uncovered ranges from pure greed to plain stupidity, skimping on materials that will be hidden or just leaving things out. For example, whole neighborhoods were built over landfill with a kind of foundation wall called a grade beam, spanning over the tops of poles, called piles, rammed deep into the earth. These beam/walls incorrectly went down just deep enough to enclose the basement and, sadly, not a fraction of an inch more. So the top of the now-sagging basement slabs, with no reinforcement in them, just touches the bottom of the walls. Over the years the floor and wall separated. You can stick a pencil between the two and touch the smelly clay/silt the house sits on, built on landfill that was not cleared properly.
Films show the bulldozers pushing sand and soil over swamp plants, burying them, leaving plants to decay. Now that the plant life below has rotted away, large air pockets have formed, which will cause the next problem: sink holes. The foundation walls might have been waterproofed but were no match for flooding from below and above. Had the walls gone deeper than the floor slabs and the waterproofing been joined and continuous, as it should be the next time around, only windows would need protecting. Your home, carefully detailed as a system, can be more waterproof.

Memoir and Truth
January 8, 2011
Publishers care about the genre of the works they agree to publish. What is being licensed (what the author/licensor is granting) is spelled out in an opening provision of the contract and is a material term. How does this apply to memoir?
We think of a memoir as an exposition of the author's life experiences. What difference does it make if the represented facts stray from literal truth or are outright lies? James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces, after being exposed for parlaying false facts said that he stood "by the book as being the essential truth of my life." However, a memoir is supposed to be a truthful representation. It is not a vehicle for fictional experiences. Representing the "essential truth" of one's life experiences by misrepresenting the literal facts is unacceptable to publishers and readers. The antidote to Frey's combination of factual truth and fictitious episodes is a narrative that uses metaphor to convey emotional truth but does not contain "false facts."
Representation and warranty provisions are standard in publishing contracts. Over the past few years the traditional focus on defamation, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement has been expanded to include a new representation and warranty relating to the truth of the narrative. The intention is to assure the publisher that there are no materially false statements that may expose the publisher to any liability and to restrain the author from misrepresenting herself.
A major publisher's contract requires the author to:
[Represent and warrant that] the Work does not contain any statements about the Author or his or her background or life story that are materially inaccurate and neither the Author nor any representative of the Author has materially misrepresented the Work or the Author's background, life story or credentials to the Publisher.
This provision requires the author to affirm that the work presented as a memoir is what it purports to be. The publisher will not offer a book to the public as a memoir if it belongs in another genre. The author's promise to be truthful assures the publisher that it will not be commercially damaged by making a misrepresentation to purchasers and readers of the work.
We can think of memoir and truth as a continuum ranging from factual accuracy through metaphor and emotional truth to falsity. By calling her work a memoir the author is representing to the publisher and making a statement to the reader that she is telling the truth about herself. Falsity, which includes distortion and exaggeration, is incompatible with the goals of memoir and, as with Frey, may have contractual consequences.

|Holyoke students attend inauguration
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
While millions watched on their television sets, HHS students Nicholas Ortner and Alyssa Killin were able to witness the presidential inauguration in person, as they made the trip to Washington, D.C. as a part of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council.
On Monday, Jan. 21, as roughly 900,000 people were in attendance at the West Front of the Capitol to catch a glimpse of American history, the pair was lucky enough to be near the front of the civilian crowd, which they estimated was still about two football fields away from the stage. Luckily there were speakers and screens set up so those farther away could still hear and see the event.
They stood in the chilly January air in the middle of a sea of people for nearly four hours as an emotional crowd shouted and cheered. Although both stated that they had plans to attend regardless of political affiliation and the outcome of the election, they enjoyed the crowd's reaction whenever the president said something particularly important.
Both said being able to witness and be a part of the energy in the crowd was a great experience, one they would do again if the opportunity presented itself.
Alyssa Killin, pictured at left, and Nicholas Ortner recently traveled to Washington, D.C. with the Congressional Youth Leadership Council.
The brevity of the president's speech surprised them, but by the end of the ceremony they were ready to make their way through the densely populated area to get out of the cold and rest.
Their five-day stay was highlighted with the inauguration, but the two were also able to learn a great deal about all of the responsibilities the president has through a number of conferences offered to them from Jan. 19-23. Neither have a desire to enter politics but enjoyed learning the inner-workings of the government while on the trip.
Dr. Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. secretary of state and national security advisor to the president, and General Wesley Clark, former NATO supreme allied commander, four-star general and presidential candidate, were both keynote speakers during the week.
Members of the CYLC were also granted early admittance to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum before the oath of office and inaugural address.
Many screens were present at the inauguration as hundreds of thousands showed up to see the event.
The CYLC provides opportunities for members to grow academically and as a person through leadership programs. Members are nominated by educators based on academic achievement and leadership qualities.
Ortner, a sophomore, has been in the program since he was in sixth grade and Killin, now a junior, joined while she was in seventh.
Aside from the trip to the inauguration, Ortner and Killin have also attended conferences held at the state level. Ortner has also attended conferences in Boston, Mass. and Washington, D.C. once before. During the first trip to D.C., the visit was more focused on touring and gaining information on the numerous monuments in the city.
More than 2,000 CYLC members attended the presidential inauguration.

2008 Goodguys Annual PPG Nationals - The Big To-DoWritten by on January 1, 2009 Goodguys 11th Annual PPG Nationals
Just like the beginning of summer-or the end of it, for that matter-there are certain things that come and go, year in and year out, that we all expect and, often, highly anticipate. Well, the Goodguys yearly to-do in Columbus, Ohio, that little thing we've all come to know as the PPG Nationals, has come and gone once again, just as the warm weather has finally succumbed to Mother Nature's winter chill.
Unlike the weather's annual turn for the worse, the Nationals tend to leave more smiles on faces and, maybe more so, leave folks with eager expectations for next year's big to-do. Even though we're typically in work mode each year, we have to admit that we too share the same expectations. The Goodguys PPG Nationals is just one of those shows that has so much to offer everyone-yes, including representatives from the magazine world-that it's really hard to find much, if anything, to dislike, regardless what camp or school of thought you're from.
This past edition, which turned out to be the 11th anniversary of the Nats, followed in the footsteps of its predecessors: great vehicle and spectator turnout, great weather (with but one quick rain shower over the weekend), a sizeable swap meet, and some pretty interesting national awards presentations (though for the non-truckers-the Street Rod and Street Machine of the Year honoring). All in all, simply another great Nats to chalk up in the record books-and more reason for the Goodguys to repeat themselves next year! See you then.

Finest Five
Last month's cover model, Dwayne Fietzer's groovy green F-100, was also appropriately a recipient of Finest Five honors in Columbus this past summer. If you haven't already had the opportunity to check out the feature, do so-this '55 is worth a closer look!Runner-up for F-100 of the Year at the F-100 Nationals, held earlier in the summer in Knoxville, TN, Harold Robinson's '56 Effie is all that, and then some! From its extensive body mods all the way down to the 454 big-block (maybe a deciding factor in the above-mentioned?!), you can see this is one first-class truck.On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is Kevin Bapst's completely homebuilt-and driven hard-'68 Chevy C-10. Low down, in many respects, the Fleetside may look a bit weary for wear, but it's powered by an aluminum 406 big-block and rides on a full custom Air Ride Technologies chassis.This slick little beauty is Bob Owens' gentlemanly chopped '40 Ford-ain't she purty? Beyond its exterior, the black beauty lies on an S-10 chassis and runs a 350/200-4R combo. Oh, and did we say it was also all homebuilt?Our final Finest Five beneficiary is Brad and Lorie Stanley's '46 Chevy. Another owner-built hauler (and owned for nearly a quarter century now), the Bow Tie is a nice mix of resto, hot rod, and custom. We dig it!...a 6.0L twin-turbocharged monster of a motor! That and the fact that you don't see many Econoline pickups in the first place, let alone screamin' green meanies like this!
Oddly enough, this here '60 Dodge Caravan belongs to a fellow who simply goes by the name "Merc." Nonetheless, Merc stuck to Mopar standards by making sure his Dodge was Hemi-powered, that we do know!Another one-named truck owner, Tim has what appeared to be a factory FoMoCo '37 flatbed. We weren't able to verify this from the owner, but we're sure some clever readers (or even Tim himself) will come forward with verification or nullification!Making a repeat appearance from last year's Goodguys Nats, Norman Webb's '46 Dodge still gets our nostalgia juices flowing...
Over along the back vendor row we ran into Progressive Automotive's latest Vette-based IFS for '55-59 Chevy trucks. Looked to be quite an impressive setup, as did their custom IRS.

More details about the party coming soon!

* Terrarium Themed Birthday Cake!
We just celebrated "E"s 9th birthday last week with a
Terrarium Themed Birthday Party!
She has a pet garden snail named "Tiny"that she has successfully kept in a terrarium
in her room for the past three years. "E"has loved snails forever and we went with
the terrarium theme to incorporate woodland gnomes, snails, mushrooms, and owls into her party.
She sketched out her cake to show me the way she wanted it to look.
Originally, we were going to make all of the plants out of candy
(think gum drops, gummy leaves, fruit roll ups)
but things got crazy here and it was easier for me to use some stuff we had in the house.
For the cake we baked a chocolate 9" round cake.
Then frosted it with store-bought chocolate frosting.
The plastic plants were from PlayMobil play sets as were the little red mushrooms.
The plastic snail was from a fairy set.
The candy rocks were picked up at the Denver Air Port in a gift shop
the little ones are chocolate and the big ones are like big jelly beans inside.
The gummy worms were a fun touch we made by poking holes into the cake
and poking the worms inside so they looked like they were crawling out of the dirt!
I also cut out some "Fruit by the Foot" fruit roll ups for leaves
and used some green frosting as the final plant accents.
The cake was really cute and delicious!
We just added an upside down plastic salad bowl to make the "terrarium" cover.
"E"'s 9th Birthday Terrarium Cake waiting on the buffet for her friends to arrive
and get the party started!
We made her invitations this year by copying a terrarium drawing
by "E" on our scanner/copier and adding some details with crayon.
Then we cut it out and glued it to these fun corrugated cardboard cards
I had leftover in my stash and sadly I do not know where they came from (I wish I had more.)
Birthday cake glowing with 9 candles!
The birthday girl had a great celebration with her closest friends.
More details about the party coming soon!

text: Sam Bradford threw for 299 yards, Jared Cook had a monster debut and Greg Zuerlein's fourth field goal of the day lifted the St. Louis Rams over the Arizona Cardinals, 27-24, in a Week 1 matchup between division rivals. Cook caught both of Bradford's touchdown passes, amassing 141 yards on seven catches, with his last reception going for 25 yards and helping to set up Zuerlein's go-ahead 48-yard field goal with 40 seconds left. Bradford completed 27-of-38 throws and bounced back from a third quarter interception to lead the Rams (1-0) to scores on three of their last four series to cap a comeback victory. Larry Fitzgerald enjoyed the presence of a capable quarterback, as the All-Pro receiver hauled in a pair of Carson Palmer touchdown passes among his eight receptions, totaling 80 yards. Palmer, making his debut with the Cardinals (0-1), completed 26-of-40 throws for 327 yards, but had an interception and a crucial fumble to spoil Bruce Arian's first game at the coaching helm for Arizona.


text: Been looking at this pack for this summer with a couple fishing trips in mind and then this fall for packing animals out. Have any of you guys had experience with pack and could you share some opinions? I really can't justify a $350 or higher pack so I know I'm limited with choices. Just want to get the best pack I can for my budget.

Start To Finish: The Back Up Pickup Re-creationWritten by Thom Taylor on March 5, 2014 Just a wadded-up wheelstanding memory until the Galpin Ford gang decided to re-create one of the legendary exhibition race cars of drag racing's golden age.
The Back Up Pickup was just a wadded-up wheelstanding memory until the Galpin Ford gang in Van Nuys, California, decided to re-create one of the legendary exhibition race cars of drag racing's golden age. Head Galpin Auto Sports (GAS) builder Dave Shuten was tasked with the wheelstanding re-creation, which was fast-tracked to be the feature attraction at the annual GAS party and car show. Then it was on to the '13 SEMA Show for its public debut. Here's the short six-month build.
Van Rods
- The Ford Econoline (E-Series) vans debuted for '61 and were based on the Ford Falcon platform till '67.
- The power in this re-creation of the Back Up Pickup was provided by a mechanically fuel-injected 427 Ford FE engine that dyno'd at 950 hp -- a bit more than the original Back Up Pickup's FE, which was rated at 500 hp.
- The '97 Ford E-Series van was the first vehicle to get Ford's 265hp, SOHC, 6.8L Triton V10.
When Wheelstanders Ruled
- The Back Up Pickup pilot George Tuers went on to create the flip-top, rear-engine '55 Nomad called Flashback. The red wheelstander was another West Coast exhibition car like the Back Up Pickup.
- Exhibition cars weren't really race cars but were integral to the golden age of drag racing and left a major impression on many a spectator. Some of us at HOT ROD were lamenting how the "show" has given way to homogenized, antiseptic, spec passes that create a lot less spectacle. It would be nice to see a little bit more show put back into drag racing.

This was not what they got back from the blaster. This is a second Econoline Shuten bought to use as a jig to set up the new chassis. Here's the "jig" with the simple perimeter chassis construction just beginning. Working like this makes for an easier time fabricating. Note the body in the background back from the blaster with the bodywork in process.The chassis was fabbed to a roller status with the suspension installed and the Cragar SS wheels and tires bolted on.The original Back Up Pickup pilot George Tuers took a trip down wheelstand memory lane to give his thumbs up to the re-creation. Back in the day, Tuers would lean out the side window while holding onto the steering wheel with his right hand to navigate the truck down the quarter-mile.The body was trial-fitted to the chassis before more work progressed. The only modification originally performed to the body was boxing and filling the door window openings.The Thunderbolt seat and steering were mocked up before determining where the engine would be placed and where the rollbar would be fabbed.Work continued on the interior with the installation of original Thunderbolt seats, rollbar, and pedals. The dash will be an aluminum panel to hold the mismatched SW gauges, which were originally found in the Back Up Pickup.The Back Up Pickup's Ford 9-inch rear was mounted solidly to the frame. On the original truck, the rearend was just welded in place, but on this version provisions were made so the axle could be unbolted from the chassis. The only other deviation from the original build is the installation of the Wilwood disc brakes.With only a few photos to go by, Shuten determined the FE engine placement. The mock-up engine is shown with a carb intake, but the engine will be fuel-injected when completed.
With the chassis painted and assembled, it was time to get the body ready for its every-trick-in-the-book paintjob.The truck was painted with a pearl-white basecoat, and then the intricate taping began. As some colors will be overlapping, Shuten had to figure out the sequence for painting the graphics to determine what would be taped and what would stay exposed. All of the paint was made by PPG.With the area above the beltline taped off and the yellow paint applied and taped, Carter was ready to apply the PPG candy blue.Shuten (left) and Carter (right) analyzed the left side of the Back Up Pickup. The blends and fades took sneaking up on with pigment mixed with large amounts of clear to help achieve clean gradations.Late in the night with the colors finalized, Shuten cleared out the entire truck. The pinstriping, lettering, and Galpin in-house vinyl decals will go over the clear just like in 1970.The gleaming body baked in the sun the morning after the clear was applied. From here, it was a thrash to complete the Back Up Pickup for the GAS party only a month away.The body was brought into the shop to mate with the chassis and to plumb and wire it, while the lettering and assembly of the body took place. Shuten handled the pinstriping and decal application chores himself.Happy faces at the GAS party are painter Bill Carter, driver George Tuers, and Galpin ramrod Shuten. The Back Up Pickup was just a roller for the party, with only a couple of weeks before the SEMA Show to make it driveable. The chute pack was a phony, since it holds lead balls for ballast. 09.24.2013Ready to be placed in the Galpin booth at the '13 SEMA Show, the Back Up Pickup showed off its decals and stock Econoline I-beam axle proudly. We were on hand when Ed Justice Jr. got to see the truck his father's company sponsored. He had lots of stories, including how the rear was so weighed down you could almost pick up the front of the truck by lifting the front bumper!

Some have rightfully mocked this seriously f-ugly dress worn by Jelena Jankovic at the SEO player party last week. But the Serb would like everyone to know she loves the dress and has given insight into its design saying via her blog:
I tried to relax a bit and charge myself with some positive energy for everything that is going to happen throughout this tournament, but also in doing many things for my sponsors. One of these moments was the �VIP Party� where I wore a dress specially designed for me made out of Sony Ericsson mobile phones Z750. Frankly, I could not believe what I am wearing and that the dress was made out of 700 phones. By the way, this is the first dress ever made out of mobile phones. It was designed by a professional dancer Kelly Kealy Mayton. The dress was purple as well as the new phone Z750 that came on the market and I promoted it that evening. After doing promotions in Doha for Sony Ericsson and presenting Precious Gold phone made out of gold, company representatives chose me to participate in this campaign as well. Apart from the purple color, you can purchase this phone in two other colors: pink and gray. The dress had open back which pointed many cameras towards me, but I have to admit it felt great wearing something unique and priceless, and every girl in that moment would feel special especially when I add to the outfit the shoes which were remarkable. I felt as if I was in a fairytail, like Cinderella, haha. The shoes were decorated with Swarovski cristals and certain mobile phone parts. It might sound weird, but I am including some photos so you can see it yourself.Okay Jelena - next time someone tells you they'd like you to wear a dress made out of a phone, blackberry, or satellite make sure you run...run like hell (and make sure to turn off the 'vibrate' function.)
Maybe it's not all her fault, though. I think the World No. 3 is getting some friendly, but very bad, fashion advice from one of WTA Tour's usual perpetrators:
I went to one of my favorite boutiques �BEBE� with my good friend Bethanie Mattek who is also sometimes my doubles partner. She invited me to go together and choose clothes for certain happenings that awaited us here in Miami. Media was invited to take picutres while we were posing in front of the mirror wearing variety of outfits. We had a great time and it�s always like that with Bethanie. She is a very positive and outgoing person, and once you are with her somewhere, your whole face will get sore due to constant laughing.Exactly - you'd be laughing (or getting laughed at) if you wore a Bethanie outfit too:
We all have our issues, I suppose...

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Phoenix Coyotes will look for a better finish on
Sunday night as they wrap up a three-game road trip versus the Vancouver
The Coyotes won for the first time in three games on Friday, holding on to top
the Edmonton Oilers 4-3. Phoenix scored three times in a 4:02 span of the
first period and led by four goals when Mike Ribeiro scored three minutes into
the second frame.
However, the Oilers got one back before the end of the second and scored twice
in six minutes during the third period, but couldn't solve Mike Smith a fourth
time as the Coyotes netminder ended with 36 saves.
Mikkel Boedker, Radim Vrbata and Derek Morris had goals and Ribeiro added an
assist as Phoenix snapped a five-game road losing streak.
"Once the score got up 4-0, we made a couple of mistakes, let them back in the
game and made it tight. I thought we played well for 30 minutes and the next
30 minutes we hung on," said Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett.
"We were just trying to play a solid road game. We kept getting pucks deep and
we were hoping to get some traffic around the net and see if we could get on
the scoreboard. We got a few (goals) in a short amount of time. Coming out of
the third period with a lead like that, on the road, you should really salt
that game away. In spurts we did and then made a couple of mistakes and made
it close but we'll take the points."
While Vrbata scored for the first time in 14 games, Martin Hanzal's assist
gave him a career high-tying 35 points on the season. He first reached that
mark as a rookie in 2007-08.
The Canucks would like to get Daniel Sedin going tonight as he has not scored
a goal since Dec. 30, notching just five assists in 11 games this month.
Sedin's 40 points are tied with twin brother Henrik for the club lead, but the
latter Sedin has sat out the past two games with a rib injury that saw his
ironman streak end at 679 straight games played when he missed Tuesday's win
over Edmonton.
Henrik Sedin, who leads the Canucks with 31 assists, also missed Thursday's
2-1 loss to the Nashville Predators, while head coach John Tortorella was
absent for his second game as he serves a 15-day suspension for his actions
against Calgary on Jan. 18.
Chris Higgins scored for the Canucks on Thursday and Roberto Luongo made 24
saves, but the Preds scored twice in the third period to snap Vancouver's two-
game win streak and drop the club to 3-6-3 in its last 12 games.
"We have to protect leads. This is a tough one to lose," Luongo said.
Vancouver was 0-for-5 on the power play, including a man advantage with under
five minutes to go, and lost the opener of a four-game homestand.
The Canucks sit eighth in the Western Conference with 61 points, four more
than the Coyotes, and trail the Los Angeles Kings by three points for third
place in the Pacific Division.
The Coyotes have beaten the Canucks twice at home this season, but dropped a
3-2 decision in overtime in their lone trip to Vancouver on Dec. 6.
Smith posted a 28-save shutout in the most recent encounter on Jan. 16 in
Phoenix and is 2-0-1 with a 1.59 goals against average versus the Canucks this
Luongo is 1-0-1 in two starts and lifetime is 12-10-2 with a 2.22 GAA and
three shutouts versus Phoenix.
The Canucks have won two straight and five of nine at home versus the Coyotes.

Kur Dead Sea Salts - Fine Grade
The widely reputed soothing effects of the Dead Sea with Kur Dead Sea Salts. High concentration of minerals for salt scrubs or hydrotherapy. Fine grade blends with oils and essential oils for customized, premium exfoliating treatments. Available in 16 oz or 1 gallon.
I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It has such a clean feel and smell. It has been amazing in my bath salts.
I recently purchased this sea salt, typically i buy lotus touch, this is much more coarse and abrasive. It hurts my hands to use it.
This salt is classified as "fine" but is still too coarse to use in salt scrubs. Our clients complained of scratching and pain, so we had to put it in a blender to get it fine enough. Maybe we were sent the wrong product, either way...

Each week, Sporting News' Matt Hayes looks at five of the weekend's most intriguing story lines.
Five things to watch: Oregon need style points; can Vols win?ncaaf October 25, 2013 11:32pm EDT October 25, 2013 9:58am EDT Florida State pasted No. 3 Clemson last week on national TV for its signature win. Now, the Seminoles are No. 2 in the BCS. This week, Oregon gets its first opportunity to impress voters (and computers) and better not waste it.
2 Strut your stuff
These are the moments when Oregon must make it count. This is when the Ducks and their high-flying offense better look nearly perfect.
Just like Florida State did a week ago.
Forget about BCS analysts breaking down numbers and quartiles and standard deviations of fractions within the computer polls. They'll tell you the computer polls were brought into the BCS formula to keep the human polls honest—and then point to last week's season-opening poll that vaulted FSU all the way to No. 2.
I'm going to tell you this: the computer polls do not have to reveal their formulas. One does (Colley), and good luck figuring out this opinion-based formula.
"Every guy on this team knows the most important thing we can do is play the best we can every time we get on the field," said Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Truer words could not have been spoken.
That's what makes Oregon's game this weekend against a desperate UCLA team so critical. The Ducks don't have to just win; they have to win impressively—just like Florida State did.
Don't let anyone tell you that Oregon's "strength of schedule" will eventually allow the Ducks to pass FSU. What will allow Oregon to pass FSU (and anyone else) is the way it performs week after week.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, Alabama wins out and earns one of the two spots in the final BCS National Championship Game. If Oregon stays unbeaten but not impressively week after week—while FSU rolls through blowouts—who do you think finishes No. 2?
This system—and you better believe, next year's College Football Playoff, too—is all about who looks sexiest. Who has that "it" factor; be it a superstar player (see: Jameis Winston, Mariota) or big games on national television with every voter glued to the tube.
This is the first of a handful of key, national television games for Oregon. Don't screw it up, Ducks.
3 Big Orange momentum
Let me take you back to 2009, when a scrappy team found itself in mid-October and started playing to its potential.
That team rolled into Tuscaloosa to play a game many players on both sides of the field dream about playing all of their lives. It was then that the Third Saturday in October nearly became the biggest regular season upset of the BCS era.
That was Lane Kiffin's first and only season at Tennessee, and his Vols were a blocked field goal on the last play of the game away from beating No. 2 Alabama. The similarities are striking:
Alabama was, of course, Alabama. But Tennessee quarterback (and longtime backup) Jonathan Crompton was playing more comfortable in Kiffin's offense. Just like current Vols quarterback (and longtime backup) Justin Worley.
But for a fumble in the end zone against Georgia, the Vols would be coming off back-to-back wins over ranked teams (Georgia and South Carolina). What does this all mean, you ask?
More than you think. New Tennessee coach Butch Jones has the Vols playing with confidence, and after struggling for much of the first month of the season, Tennessee can match up with Alabama on the lines of scrimmage.
That means Worley, who didn't throw an interception against Georgia or South Carolina, must play flawlessly. It's a lot to ask, but a rivalry game of this magnitude always has a little crazy in it.
4 Blue and Gold all over
We may as well get this out of the way right now: Notre Dame is nowhere near out of the hunt for a BCS bowl.
In fact, the Irish are right on target. All ND needs is nine wins and a top-14 finish in the final BCS regular season poll.
Now, the rest of the schedule: at Air Force this weekend, Navy, at Pittsburgh, BYU, at Stanford. Notre Dame can reach nine wins with that schedule, but may not be able to stay in the top 14 with a loss to Stanford in the regular season finale.
The road to a BCS bowl begins with the health of QB Tommy Rees, who said earlier this week that he'll play against Air Force despite getting knocked out of the USC game last weekend (neck sprain). Despite the constant criticism from Irish fans, Rees has
played well enough this fall (15 TD, 6 INT) to win big games.
With him, Notre Dame can win nine games and get to a BCS bowl; without him, say hello to a major step back.

5 How the East was won
So Missouri gets another team this weekend with more injuries—this time South Carolina without starting quarterback Conner Shaw.
Why it matters: Shaw is a dual-threat option, and pressures defenses with his legs as well as his accuracy as a thrower. Dylan Thompson, Shaw's backup, isn't a runner.
That means Missouri's defensive front – the best in the SEC considering all of Florida's injuries—will control the game and get the Tigers to 8-0 and a three-game lead in the SEC East Division.
Mizzou will be three games up on Georgia, Florida and South Carolina (the Tigers would have to lose three games to blow that lead; they win any tiebreaker), and would need just two wins over the final four league games to advance to the SEC Championship Game.
The last four league games on the schedule: Tennessee, at Kentucky, at Ole Miss, Texas A&M.
6 The sleeper team/player
Mull over this question: can a Heisman Trophy winner lose a game to an FCS school?
Let me introduce Oregon State QB Sean Mannion, who leads the nation in just about every passing category, including 29 TDs (against three INTs) in just seven games.
If Mannion, whose team lost to FCS Eastern Washington in the season opener, can lead the Beavers to a victory over BCS No. 6 Stanford in Corvallis this weekend—and continues his torrid personal pace—how can he not become part of the Heisman narrative?
Now, understand this: Oregon State hasn't played a defense with a pulse, and Stanford—which rushes the passer and covers in the back end—will be Mannion's biggest test yet. In fact, the next five games will determine if the Beavers (and Mannion) are a legitimate threat: Stanford, USC, at Arizona State, Washington, at Oregon.

Dale Wedig: Mentalsmith
Exhibit Dates: June 7 to July 20, 2012
Opening Reception: Thursday, June 7, 7:00 p.m.
HANCOCK, MI - "Dale Wedig: Mentalsmith," is featured at the Finlandia University Gallery, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock, from June 7 to July 20, 2012.
An opening reception for the artist will take place at the gallery Thursday, June 7, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Controlled and complicated, whimsical and expressive, even sophisticated and naïve: these contradictory statements capture the essence of Dale Wedig's artwork.
Ranging in size from jewelry to architectural installations, his work incorporates metal processes from blacksmithing, welding, and casting to sheet-forming, fabrication, and foundry applications.
Whether it's sculpture, furniture, hollow ware, or jewelry, Wedig's art celebrates the melding of form and function. The inherent qualities of the metals he uses-strength, luster, and density-provide physical and visual testimonies, while his hands provide the object's character.
Art-making can be described as the physical and mental labor involved in creating an object from an idea, and the end result can be very satisfying.
For Wedig, however, it is the activity and struggle of the art-making process that is most inspiring.
"Experiencing an idea becoming a real object that started in your head, and that and your hands built is a measure of the accountability of your life," Wedig reflects.
"Life without labor is guilt," Wedig adds. "I like to keep busy recording my lifetime by making tangible objects from the ideas that float through my head."
"Making art is no more or less than having faith in what is unknown, and having the desire to take the opportunity to create something you find difficult to explain," Wedig says.
Wedig is a professor of art and design at Northern Michigan University, Marquette, and for 28 years has been head of the metalsmithing and sculpture departments there.
He has a bachelor of science in physical education and art education from the University of Wisconsin, a master's of art in jewelry and metalsmithing from Iowa State University, and a master's of fine arts from Arizona State University.
His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States.
"Dale Wedig: Mentalsmith" is on display at the Finlandia University Gallery through July 20, 2012.
The Finlandia University Gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy Street, Hancock. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or by appointment.
For additional information, contact gallery director Carrie Flaspohler at 906-487-7500 or email@example.com.

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.
