The Girls traveled to New York City for the first Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. Boy, did they do it right! The event was hosted by Danny Meyer and his team of chefs and pitmasters (see first photo) from Blue Smoke. You may have read about Blue Smoke, a restaurant devoted to offering New York a taste of authentic BBQ. One of the partners is Mike Mills and he brings authentic BBQ experience to the city slickers, making Blue Smoke the closest thing to real barbecue that you can get in the City. For the event, the top four pitmastrs in the South set up "camp" on a rain-soaked 27th Street in front of the restaurant. Featured barbecuers were Mike Mills from Murphysboro, Illinois, (BBQ partner in the Blue Smoke venture), Ed Mitchell from Wilson, North Carolina, Chris Lilly and Don Mclemore from Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur, Alabama, Rick Schmidt from Kreuz Market in Lockhardt, Texas, and Kenny Callaghan, chief pitmaster of Blue Smoke, New York City.
The first time I visited the South of France, I fell in love with this medley of eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes and bell peppers. It is best in the late summer, when the vegetables are fresh-picked and at the height of their flavor. I've created a grilled version which is even better the day after it is made. Serve with grilled fish, chicken or even tossed with hot pasta. The first time I visited the South of France, I fell in love with this medley of eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes and bell peppers.

These grits will make you forget that you have meat on your plate. Anson Mills grits are hand milled to a coarser grind than commercially distributed grits and the corn is specially grown for maximize flavor. Even people who think they don't like grits, love these grits. Cooking them in a mixture of cream and water is my version of the South Carolina low-country tradition.

Tired of the same ole cookout foods? Why not try Elizabeth's Apple-Brined Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Tenderloins
I love the fresh sophisticated flavors of this salad but my favorite part is the eews and aahhs that I get when I serve it with a big beautiful curl of authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano. The trick is easy. Buy an uncut chunk of fresh Parmigiano and using a sharp vegetable peeler, "peel" a thin piece of the cheese from the chunk in one motion and Viola! You've got a fancy restaurant Parmesan Curl!
Slightly rougher than it's refined front porch cousin but tastes just as good. This version is so easy that you can make it on the back porch or in a parking lot—for tailgates, that is.
There is nothing like a burger and fries to hit the spot! And this burger and tofu fries does that classic one better! The fries are smoky and salty with a toothsome texture that comes from firm tofu that is seasoned with soy sauce and basted with olive oil before grilling over direct heat. Dipped into warmed, sweet and spicy barbecue sauce, I bet you'll eat all the fries before you even take a bite of your burger!
If you are into gilding the grill a little, try these Bacon and Cheddar Knockwurst Wrap-Arounds. They can be assembled in advance and grilled just before serving, making them perfect for lunch or an end-of-the-day dinner. If you aren't familiar with Knockwurst, they are "short, thick highly seasoned sausage." We prefer the all-beef variety and eat them just like hot dogs or other sausages grilled plainly or dressed up like this recipe. This cheddar-stuffed, bacon-wrapped recipe must be grilled over indirect heat or the cheese and bacon will burn before the "hotdog" is done. This is one recipe where your patience will definitely be rewarded.
Bruschetta is a favorite Italian restaurant appetizer and this version combines the authentic Italian with the adopted American technique of a tomato topping. I added bacon because it makes everything taste better, especially tomatoes and grilled bread! Make this recipe at home and you may find that you like this grilled version better than most of the restaurant versions!
There are those days that nothing will do except a bacon cheeseburger. Instead of visiting your favorite burger joint, make them at home instead. You may never order a burger out again!
It is the Girls new favorite hostess gift and we think it is best presented in an old-fashioned mason jar, but you could give it away as a party favor in plastic bags and we are sure no one would complain!
OK, the Superbowl is over and now, you have to get back to eating right. Right?! Well, I'll tell you what eating right is, this little delicacy called Bacon Peanut Brittle.
It is absolutely addictive and a great thing to do with any leftover peanuts from Sunday's game. I created this "pig candy" a few years ago for a "pork-in-every-course" class that I was teaching called Swine and Wine. The brittle was the after-dessert mignardises.It was a whim when I first made it, but one that I have seen catching on lately.
Because it is smoky, sweet, salty and savory all in one bite, it makes a great snack, appetizer or dessert. And, because it is so satisfying, you really don't eat that much of it—I mean, your teeth would be aching and your jaw would be sore if you sat down and ate a whole batch at once. I love making it and bringing it to friends as a hostess gift or setting it out with assorted nibbles and bits when I have people over for drinks. When the brittle is cool, I place the shards in an old-fashioned mason jar, but you could give it away as a party favor in plastic bags and I am sure no one would complain!
The key to making the brittle crystal clear (see picture) instead of cloudy is making sure that the bacon is not over-cooked or burned (dice raw bacon and cook slowly over low heat) and that all the excess fat is drained away from the bacon. I do this by wrapping the drained bacon in a few layers of paper towels and gently wringing it out. Other than this, there is no trick to making the brittle.
If you want to really up the ante, make it with Schaller and Weber's double-smoked bacon. It is by far the best bacon I have ever tasted and I have tasted them all! If you don't live in the New York area, you'll have to order it by web or mail but it is well worth the wait!
And we are here to tell their secret; you can make them yourself at home quickly and easily! The Girls usually cut the steaks themselves because beef tenderloin sells for an average of $19.99 to $24.99 a pound, and often times the already cut filets (sold as filet mignon steaks) sell for about $5.00 more a pound. Besides, when you buy a whole or a half of a tenderloin, you can make sure that the filets you cut come from the center and not just the ends of the tenderloin!
This is a favorite of the barbecue circuit and it is one of those recipes that taste much better than it sounds. Even the biggest naysayer can't keep his hands off the cabbage once it is done. The real trick is to cook it until so tender that you can pluck a leaf from the center without any resistance.
If you are in the mood to combine Burgers and BBQ, try Elizabeth's new Phat Burger. It's a traditional ground-meat burger stuffed with barbecued brisket, cheddar cheese and pickled jalapenos!
The Girls suggest you get your Omega-3s and a great dinner with the Northwest's traditional Cedar-Planked Salmon tricked up with your favorite barbecue sauce. You can purchase cedar planks at almost any housewares or gourmet store or go to a local lumberyard and have them cut it for you, just remember to buy untreated cedar!
Recipe using Original BBQ Sauce
Recipe using Kick'N Spicy™ BBQ Sauce
Buy head-on shrimp, take them home, grill 'em and spill 'em on newspapers to peel and eat—dipping into either melted butter or a spicy horseradish cocktail sauce. Serve this recipe "barefoot" with frosty bottles of beer or Sweet Southern Iced Tea.
This is the basic recipe for beer-can chicken whose origin has as man stories as there are grill cooks.
The one I like goes something like this. A barbecue pitmaster had been drinking beer—the official sanctioned barbecue circuit beverage--all day when he realized that he was going to need to eat something if he was going to last all day and into the next morning tending his slow-cooked barbecue. So, he opened his rig (a smoke-grill big enough for several whole hogs) and set his beer down on the cooking grate to get something small to cook from his cooler. He picked up a chicken and put it on top of his half-full can without noticing what he was doing. He looked for his beer, couldn't find it and popped open another one without a second thought. That is, until he opened the grill an hour later and, lo and behold, perched on his smoker was the first beer can chicken! Regardless of the story, it is truly the best chicken any of us girls have ever tasted!
This dough recipe is so fast that can start it when you get home from work and be eating your pizza thirty minutes later. This food processor method can also be done in a mixer with a dough hook attachment.
To make the dough heartier, use a combination of whole wheat and white bread flour. The best ratio is 25% whole grain flour and 75% all-purpose flour. If you use too much whole grain flour, the crust will be leaden, not light and airy.
Grilling a turkey is one surefire way to eliminate turkey trauma—especially at Thanksgiving! It leaves your oven available for baking side dishes and dessert and is so easy that it practically cooks itself. No need to baste, wrap in cheesecloth or any other time-consuming techniques. Once you experience how easy it is, you'll be grill-roasting a turkey every time you need to feed a crowd.
Becky is a dear friend and the inventor of the much coveted Barbecue Pie. A few years ago, the Girls were at a party in New York City and we looked over at an empty platter (15 minutes after the party started!) and said, what was there? Whatever it was, it must have been great because it was GONE, BBQ, Gone! Elizabeth asked around and found out that it was none other than Becky's Deep-Dish Barbecue Pie.
Recipe using Teriyaki Marinade Mix
The trick here is to pre-cook the bacon for a few minutes to get the fat rendering and then assemble the skewers. The bacon is mostly for seasoning and flavoring the filet and mushrooms as they cook, but why waste good bacon? Serve it up with the rest of the kabob ingredients.
This homemade hot sauce is good for what ails ya…or any recipe that needs a little push. It is particularly good splashed on No-Frills Oyster Roast instead of Tabasco sauce.
When I went to cooking school in Italy a few years ago, I fell in love with their very simple technique of grilling steak. In Tuscany, they serve Chianina beef that rivals Japan's Kobe beef in flavor and tenderness. Ask your butcher for either prime or Certified Black Angus and have the steaks hand-cut unusually thick, about 2½ inches.
This vinaigrette is right out of restaurant tricks 101! It is often used to fancy-up simple grilled fish like halibut, tuna or swordfish. It is also great on grilled peppers, eggplant and zucchini and dynamite on a grilled chicken salad. Black olive puree or "tapenade" can be found in a jar in the imported (French or Italian) section of the grocery store. You can use this same basic recipe and substitute pesto for a fresh herby dressing for corn, tomatoes, pasta salad and fish.
Greetings LadyBug Club members and welcome to GrillNEWS #186. The month of August is all about street festivals in Chicago and though there are lots of great artists and craftmen at the fairs, our favorite part (no surprise!) is the fun food. The Girls' favorite street food is something we call Blistered Mexican Corn-on-a-Stick. It is corn that is blistered over an open fire, doused with butter, mayo, queso fresco and sprinkled with Chile powder.
Bloodies aren't just for breakfast anymore! The girls love a bloody while they are chopping away in the kitchen or tending the grill outside. And we can't think of a better way to eat your veggies besides grilling them of course!
Pizza on the Grill by Elizabeth Karmel and Bob Blumer
Recipe using Lemon Pepper Marinade Mix
There is nothing easier than grilling boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The trick is to brush with oil and grill over direct heat, turning only once during the cooking time.
We were talking about our favorite Butter Burger and trying to figure out how we could make it even better when Elizabeth came up with the idea of stuffing the burger with Boursin cheese instead of butter. The Boursin still gives the burger that unctuous richness that we love in a Butter Burger but the soft cheese gives us more flavor—garlic and shallots and herbs. We tried it and liked it and think you'll like it too! You can serve this burger with the usual suspects but if you really want to gild the lily, toss out the same ole ketchup, mayo and mustard and slather the bun with the extra Boursin instead—we can't think of anything better!
Chef Susan Goss' grandmother always served these soup beans with fresh cornbread that she cut in half and buttered generously before topping with the beans. If you can't find a ham hock in your store, substitute a chunk of meaty bacon or cured ham.
I like to cut up my own chicken, but if you buy pre-cut chicken, cut the breasts in half to make the pieces easier to manage. I like to brine the chicken pieces for at least 2 hours, but even an hour makes a difference.
It has been years since I learned to make competition-worthy barbecued baby back ribs. And I still consider myself lucky to have learned from some of the best in the business.
My first year at the barbecue competition Memphis in May, the head cook from a team called Bubba's Bunch befriended me and taught me to make ribs the same way barbecue great John Willingham did. Willingham was the creator of the amazing all-purpose barbecue rub known as W'ham Seasoning. And it is amazing stuff.
Following my rib tutorial, I made those ribs more times than I can count, and have taught them many times in my barbecue classes. I named the recipe after the team who taught me, and they are perfect for a first-timer. Or if you are like me, it may become your go-to recipe for ribs.
All you need are a love of great barbecue and three ingredients — meaty baby back ribs, lemons and my W'ham-inspired rib rub. You can make these on a gas or charcoal grill or a smoker
This recipe is my version of ribs that won a Memphis in May Patio Porkers contest a few years back. These guys took me under their wing and taught me everything they knew—or so they said—about barbecuing pork ribs. Their secret was marinating the ribs in lemon juice before rubbing spices into the meat. I've streamlined their process with cut lemons and a homemade rub.
This recipe was created by my barbecue buddy Steven Raichlen who definitely has perfected cooking over an open fire. It is a little more involved and a little more advanced but the end result is worth the patience it takes to make this recipe.
The real stars in this recipe are the breads, cheeses and toppings for the burger bar. This is especially useful for anyone having a drop-by cookout when your guests will be coming and going throughout the party but expecting to eat. Grill the burgers in stages so they are "hot off the grill" most of the evening.
Since everyone expects to top a great Caesar salad with grilled chicken, we are offering this unexpected variation: a shrimp version of the very popular Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. It's great for people who prefer shrimp to chicken or for those that want a change of taste! Buy the raw IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) jumbo shrimp and keep in the freezer so you can be at the ready to make it for any last minute drop-in guests or yourself!
Elizabeth created these sweet, smoky baked beans for the menu at Hill Country. Make them a day before as they are even better once they've had a chance to mellow and marry in the fridge overnight.
Little did Elizabeth know that she would LEARN something new about NC 'QUE! (That rhymes in case you missed it!) Anyway, much to her dis-belief, Stamey's and a lot of other famous barbecue restaurants in Carolina serve their Barbecue with a side of—not slaw, not hush puppies—but a HOT DOG (smothered in slaw of course!).
For me, keeping party stress to a minimum means prepping as much food as possible in advance. That way when people are arriving, all I need to do is heat, plate and eat. This also lets you focus more energy on how the food is presented, which -- especially for a party -- can be nearly as important as taste.
One of my favorite party tricks is to use cedar wood planks for both cooking and serving. I love the look of the ruff hewn wood plank piled with food. And if the edges are a little charred, so much the better. One of my tried and true party appetizers that works with this technique is a grilled glazed brie with fresh fruit.
This recipe is a streamlined version of the baked brie I used to make. Back in the day, I would cut open the wheel of cheese, stuff it with fruit and nuts, then close it back up and bake it. But I like this glazed version better. It's simpler to prepare and looks more appetizing with all the delicious hot "filling" toppling over the side. I serve it with assorted fruit and water crackers, but baguette or your favorite crackers would be just as good.
I make the fruit and nut mixture in advance and keep it in a jar in my refrigerator so I can throw it together when friends drop by unexpectedly, or just when I am feeling like a treat. It works best on a small 8-ounce wheel of brie because the rind will contain the oozing cheese as it heats up.
You can use a slice of brie instead, but make sure that you don't heat it too long or all of the cheese in the center will melt and puddle out. You want the cheese and toppings to be just warmed.
The cedar plank adds a kiss of flavor, makes it easy to bake in the oven or pop onto the grill, and becomes your serving platter as well. I also use these planks as serving trays for lots of my little dishes. In fact, we use them in my restaurant as trays for passed hors d'oeuvres when we host special events.
One of my favorite uses is for chili con queso and chips. I heat the spicy cheese dip, pour it into a hollowed-out red pepper and serve it with chips on a wooden plank. Even a simple cheese platter is dressed up by the rustic slab of wood and makes an impromptu wine and cheese party feel more special.
You shouldn't have any trouble finding food grade cedar planks. Most grocers sell them near the seafood and meats. If you buy them from a hardware store, be certain that they are untreated.
Grilling on a cedar plank is an old Native American cooking technique that is finding it's way to backyards all across America. You can purchase fancy packaged planks at gourmet cooking stores or rough it and have a lumberyard cut the planks for you. They are exactly the same, just make sure you use untreated cedar wood.
Try this recipe with center-cut pieces of wild salmon. If wild salmon is not available, farm-raised salmon will work as well. Ask your fish monger to stock the wild salmon – it may be a little more expensive, but it is worth every penny.
Recipe using Gourmet Burger Spice Rub
This week, the Girls are getting out their pre-election frustrations by making Chicken Paillard with a Greek Farmer's Salad and that heavenly garlic-cucumber-yogurt sauce called tzazaki. The fresh lemon and oregano rub infuses the thin pieces of chicken (called paillard), making it sparkle with flavor. Served on top of a Greek farmer's salad (a.k.a. Horatiki) and dressed with the pungent tzazaki, it's a dish that's hard to beat. If you're not a yogurt person, the chicken is also good served on the salad with a spicy oregano vinaigrette. Have fun pounding the chicken and…don't forget; your vote counts just as much as the next girl (or guy)!
This soup is made with store-bought broth and rotisserie chicken, which shortens the preparation time considerably. (If you usually make your soup from scratch, you may be surprised at how appealing this shortcut can be when you are rushed.)
This First Place at the National Cornbread Festival recipe is a sure-fire winner dinner. The Southwestern-style recipe is from Jenny Flake who lives in Gilbert, Arizonia—it's a contemporary version of a skillet supper.
Every time I make these shrimp indoors, I set off the smoke alarm. It's a ringing affirmation that I have hit the crowd-pleasing jackpot. Whether they are cooked on the stove or an outdoor grill, they always disappear instantly. XL shrimp are a bit pricey, but a couple of these memorably seasoned shellfish per person is all that it takes to impress. The recipe multiplies effortlessly to create a winning appetizer for any size dinner or cocktail party.
(The Girls refer to these brownies as Milky Way Midnight Brownies)
These light and chewy chocolate almond cookies are reminiscent of the famous French sandwich cookies. They taste more like macaroons than meringues and are the perfect choice for a "dressed-up" ice cream sandwich.
Everyone's favorite childhood flavor combination has grown up. Chunky Peanut Butter Cookies are the perfect foil for this triple-rich chocolate ice cream.

12th at The Glen for Mears and GEICO Racing Crew
Posted by: lori on Aug 12, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Mears' effort accounts for team's fifth Top 15 finish of the 2013 season
Watkins Glen, NY (August 11, 2013) – Casey Mears was coming off of a strong run at Pocono when he arrived in upstate New York for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' second road course outing of the season. At the series' first road course race of the year in Sonoma on June 23rd, the Bakersfield, CA, native turned in a 16th place finish.
Mears was fast on arrival at Watkins Glen International, as his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion sat 5th and 13th in the respective practice sessions on Friday. Unfortunately, a brake issue would stifle his qualifying attempt, leaving him 30th on Sunday's Cheez-it 355 at The Glen starting grid.
If Mears was affected by his challenging starting position, it wasn't evident. Rather, he spoke about the strength of his GEICO Ford and his intention of heading to the front of the field when the race went green. A prophet he was because when the race got underway beneath clear skies and bright sunshine, he made immediate progress and quickly found himself in 24th by the 10th lap. Each time a yellow flag was displayed, Mears was immediately ordered to save fuel.
On lap 57, he brought his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion down pit road for a scheduled green flag pit stop. Good fortune winked at Mears when the caution flag was displayed just one lap after his service. This would result in his GEICO machine moving up to 10th position when the cars in front of him were forced to visit pit road for tires and fuel. The racing gods continued to smile upon Mears when he narrowly avoided falling victim to a crashing Kasey Kahne and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., with just nine laps remaining in the 90 lap event. When the checkered flag brought the 220-mile race to a close, Casey Mears recorded a 12th place finish, scoring Germain Racing's fifth Top 15 finish of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
"It was a good day for our GEICO team. I think after the qualifying effort we had, we had an issue with the brakes unfortunately, and to be able to rebound like that and have a good day showed how strong our team is and made us all happy," Mears said following the race. "We were able to hang on, stay out of the mess and have a good finish. It worked out well for us." He continued, "All of our spotters did a great job today. It's the first time I had anybody through the esses and it was really valuable. It worked out really well and helped me to avoid a lot of the stuff. Fortunately, we were just in the right place to miss it every time, so it was nice to have some good fortune go our way."
Next week will see Mears in Valvoline livery when his Germain Racing team travels to the Irish Hills of Michigan.
Mears and the #13 Valvoline NextGen Ford Fusion will hit the track at Michigan International Speedway for the opening practice session on Friday, August 16th, at 12:00 PM (EDT). Qualifying will follow at 3:40 PM (EDT).
The Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, August 18th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

I never got around to planting any kale this year. I intended to, but didn't — I'm blaming the wet spring.
Thinking about my lack of kale today led my mind back to some of the things I've learned from Nikki Jabbour and Kevin Kossowan about using more of the year for growing. I realized there was nothing stopping me from planting a new crop other than an "August" state of mind. So I pretended it was March and got out my seeds.
The 'Red Winter' kale indicates 50 days needed for maturity. Fifty days from now is September 25–just beyond our probable first frost date. And considering kale actually likes a little frost, this little idea is gaining traction in my mind. I need to consult Nikki's book again, but regardless, I'm thinking I'm going to do it. Never know until you try! Plus, there's always the cold frame.

One of the basic principles of traditional Chinese medicine is that to keep the body in good health and treat medical concerns, it is necessary to replenish the body's supply of essential nutrients. Like the rest of the body, the skin also needs to be replenished and rejuvenated to look its best. Each day, moisture from your skin is lost due to evaporation and can be stripped away by environmental impurities. By supplementing your skin's supply of hydration and nutrients, you can help counteract the effects of dryness. The WEI Moisturizers collection is a unique line of hydrating formulas that use the principles of traditional Chinese medicine to promote good skin health.
All of the WEI Moisturizers formulas have their basis in natural herbal remedies. The extracts used in the WEI Moisturizers are commonplace treatments in traditional Chinese medicine and have been successfully and safely used as treatments for more than 5,000 years. No matter what your skin type is, WEI Moisturizers can help your complexion remain healthy and youthful. Explore the collection to find the right formula for you!
Replenish your complexion's supply of vital moisture and treat common skin conditions with WEI Moisturizers.
The WEI Tibetan Safflower Age Defying Face Cream is a moisturizer designed to treat signs of aging and help prevent new issues from forming on the complexion. The formula contains safflower extracts sourced from Tibet. Considered the Queen of Herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, safflower contains key nutrients that are often diminished in the skin tissue as we age. Safflower also helps to regulate the skin's innate moisture balance, preventing dehydration without allowing the complexion to become oily or shiny. As a result, this moisturizer is excellent for those with combination and oily skin, and it is gentle enough to be safely applied to sensitive complexions. The formula should be used twice daily and comes in a 1.7-ounce jar.
The WEI Royal Ming Firming and Hydrating Cream is a luxurious moisturizer for normal to dry complexions. The cream contains a blend of 18 herbs that have been used in Chinese medicine since the Ming Dynasty. This treatment has successfully improved the texture and tone of the skin in treatments for 600 years. Angelica extract in the formula helps to replenish moisture levels and encourage moisture retention to prevent future dehydration. Purple nutsedge is added to the formula to eliminate impurities from the pores and help to tighten and refine them. To improve skin texture, the cream contains goji berry extract. Intended for use twice per day, the formula comes in a 1.7-ounce jar.

Wire Harness Foolproof UpgradeWritten by on July 1, 2009 A 21st Century wire harness that's foolproof
How many times have you worked on your Mopar, only to find out that the original wire harness had either A) been butchered by a previous owner, B) has the insulation peeling off, causing a short, or C) the bulk head connector has corroded and is causing a major problem? What if you're planning to update your Mopar to current 21st Century ideas?
When it comes to the wiring, Littelfuse is a company that you may not have ever thought about for your Mopar. But, for most of its history, the core business for Littelfuse was the protection of wiring circuits in automobiles. Littelfuse products are used in a lot of products that use electrical energy, including automobiles, computers, consumer electronics, handheld devices, industrial equipment, and telecom/datacom circuits. Over the past 10 years, Littelfuse has been providing circuit protection solutions to enhance vehicle safety and reliability, protect increasingly more sophisticated electronics and introduce new high-current technology into vehicles. Littelfuse already works with major automakers in North America, and it's a leading supplier to retail aftermarket outlets. Key products include blade fuses, bolt fuses, MasterFuse, TVS diodes, varistors, hybrid electric vehicle fuses, and cable protectors. But enough with the who they are stuff, what is this ISIS kit?
When Littelfuse, Inc. announced the end of wiring harness drudgery with the introduction of the ISIS Multiplex System--a solid-state electrical system that eliminates tangles of wire, slashes install time in half, and gives auto enthusiasts complete control over their cars' accessories--we were more than interested. The kit is the first multiplex system to make OEM technology available to any car, whether it be a street rod, resto-rod, off-roader, kit car, or muscle car.
ISIS wiring employs a plug-and-play modular-design identical to that used in OEM vehicles today. Multiplexing uses computerized power distribution to reduce the amount of wiring and to increase performance. The basis behind ISIS is as such; a builder begins by installing an ISIS Mastercell Input Unit behind the dashboard--or wherever he chooses. An ISIS Powercell Control Unit is then installed at a point near a cluster of electrical components. For example, one can be installed in the front-end of the car to handle lights, turn signals, horns, starter, etc, while a second is mounted in the trunk for rear turn signals, fuel pump and stereo components. Wiring each accessory takes four easy steps. First, connect the desired control switch to the Mastercell, and then connect the Powercell control-outputs to the load. Now, connect the Powercell to the battery, and then connect the Powercell to the Mastercell with the C.A.N. bus cable--that's it. When the switch on the dashboard is activated, the microcontroller in the Mastercell tells the Powercell to activate the appropriate circuit.
The ISIS System uses Mosfet switches in the Powercells for handling typical automotive loads of up to 25-amps per node. Each Powercell can handle up to 10 circuits, and up to five Powercells can be run by one Mastercell, for a total of 50 individual circuits per Mastercell. The electrical operations are almost endless.
Wiring is simplified, because wires from each electrical accessory need to run only to the Powercell Control Unit located nearby. Wiring the vehicle becomes dramatically easier because the wires for all accessories no longer run all the way from the switch and fuse box to individual accessories.
What if you have a problem with the ISIS kit, how do you find it? For quick diagnostics, an LED indicator is used on each output node that indicates at a glance whether the circuit has an open fuse, an open circuit, or is functioning normally. So all you have to do is look at the Powercell box for an LED, and it tells you what you need to know.
Because electronic actions are managed through a microcontroller, the system can perform special functions beyond just a simple off and on control. A light can be set to blink as a turn signal, or stay lit as a running light. The system can even set a time delay for functions like cooling cans, or even initiate soft-start headlights. The Mastercells can even be configured to accept analogue input for proportional control of an output. Users can purchase their kits pre-programmed with custom configurations or purchase a programmer to allow them to make changes after the system is installed.
You can also get what they refer to as inLINK™. This is a programmable five-button key fob that permits the user to remotely control 16 different functions of the car's accessories remotely. For more elaborate performances, the entire vehicle's electrical system can be wirelessly controlled from up to 150 feet away from the car via inTOUCH™. This is an optional handheld touch screen that provides out-of-car control.
If you're worried about reliability, the Mastercell and Powercell enclosures are sealed with watertight gaskets, and the system withstands high temperatures typical of under hood applications. All factory-terminated connections use Delphi Packard sealed connectors. Using a low voltage, low current design for switching and control eliminates high current wiring under the dashboard and reduces the possibility of an under-dash fire. Additionally, all inputs are ground-switched, which adds further simplicity to the electrical system. A low-current dash harness is available as an option, providing easy connection to all switches and gauge wiring.
Eventually, we're going to install the ISIS kit in our project Super Bee that's at the Unlawful Racing shop now, but to give you an idea of how it works, assembling the kit on the shop floor will give you a better idea of how it's wired since you can see everything. When we get to finally install it in the car, we'll show you that as well.

For ease of demonstration, we placed the Mastercell and two Powercells on the floor of the shop. The middle box is the Mastercell, and the two outer boxes are the Powercells.The cells are connected by pre-terminated wires with C.A.N. bus style connectors. Simply plug each connector into the cell.Each Powercell will need to have a fused power source. The Power needs to come from the supplied Mega Fuses. Each Powercell needs two fused power connections, and the third receptacle will need to be plugged with the supplied cap.The functions controlled at the rear of the car plug into that Powercell and connect to each light or other controlled function.Each Powercell has a connection area for two Delphi Packard plugs. In our case, we will only be using one, so the other must be capped using the supplied cap.Each Powercell has two input connectors for the C.A.N. bus connectors and the unused receptacle must be capped with the supplied cap. The Powercell farthest from the Mastercell gets the cap with an "R" on it. This is a resistor cap.
3The optional controller can control functions of the kit as you require. We'll be setting ours up as a security function.As you're reading this, you were probably asking about how to know which wires go where? Well, the simple to follow instructions show you.

Custom Craftworks Arm Rest Shelf
This is the Armrest Shelf for a Custom Craftworks table. This is a great tool for joint mobilization because it increases the effectiveness of your treatments by letting you position the client so you have greater access to the shoulder girdle. The shelf accommodates the ball-and-socket nature of the shoulder joint, gaining increased range of motion. It hangs from a face cradle and is available in a variety of vinyl colors.
We just expanded our practice and purchased 2 used massage tables. Neither came with an arm rest, so we bought 2 of these because I already have one for my Custom Craftworks table. They are adjustable and fit most tables by adding some Velcro to the face rest. It's really comfortable for the client and cleans easily with anti-bacterial wipes. Highly recommended!

Last year we moved from Exchange to Open Xchange and a few months later to Zimbra.
It was a lot of work but we made the right choice. Centos + Zimbra is definitively a great and reliable option.
So anyone out there still hesitating to make the switch, I say go ahead, you will save a lot of money for IMO a better product.
I had to learn the hard way because I wasnt a Linux expert (Im still not), but it is possible to make the switch if you are willing to learn. This forum , particularly Mr Hammonds and Phoenix (avec qui je suis en désacord avec certaines de ses pratiques ) helped me a lot, thanks to both you and to everyone else is helping other "noobs" in the installation forum.
Now I have 3 servers running Zimbra and everyone is happy.
Btw, the hardware I use for each server cost less than 800$ (but I have 2 NAS (raid 5) for the backups).
Pass the word everyone, Zimbra is a great software !

LA PLATA, Md. (WUSA) -- 9News was first to break the story of a second newborn found in eight months in Southern Maryland.
The Charles County Sheriff's Offices say homeowners were cleaning out their attic when they made the gruesome discovery in the 9700 block of Royal Oak Dr. near La Plata Maryland.
Sources tell 9News' Surae Chinn the baby's body was stuffed in a suitcase in the attic and discovered on November 16th around noon.
Even more shocking, people close to the investigation say there's a possibility the mother who gave birth to this baby is the same woman whose newborn was found in the trunk of her car back in March.
In that case, the woman's parents were cleaning out her car that was parked in a mobile home park, in the 5400 block of Hallowing Point Road in Prince Frederick in Calvert County and discovered the fetus or newborn baby.
Sources also say the most recent fetus discovered could be older than the one found back in March.
The mother was not charged in that case.
The mother in question has three children. Sources say the woman has had a relationship with people at both homes, connecting her to both locations.
Detectives are waiting for autopsy results.

Alamo: Newsies Sing-Along
NOTE: There will be no subtitles on screen at this event, but there will be lyric sheets so you can refresh all your SANTA FE memories and be ready to sing-along. There will also be FREE NEWSIES CAPS for everyone in attendance, so there's no need to go on strike!
Long before Christian Bale started talking funny as Batman in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, he was doing awesome things with his voice in movies for the Mouse House. Nowhere is there a better example of this then in his breakout role in Disney's musical tribute to turn of the 20th century paperboys who become friends with Bill Pullman and then decide that it's time to stick it to the man by going on strike from their jobs and turning to street performance art and super high heel-clicks to make the bosses understand their plight. And the world would know that they're the kings of New York, all because they had the courage to open the gates and seize the day.
So yeah, it's a hard movie to take seriously, but you won't need to worry about that because you'll be having a serious amount of fun at the Action Pack's Sing-Along celebration of the last great Hollywood musical - NEWSIES. We'll have a heel-clicking competition before the movie, free newspapers and newsies caps for everyone, and a theater full of other people awesome enough to understand how much fun NEWSIES really is.

NEILL G. MAC MCBRYDE JR. Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson PA, Charlotte
I would probably want to live and work in Virginia. I spent four years of college there, lived there for a few years before going to law school and went on my first date with my wife there. No matter where you are in Virginia, you are never very far away from the coast or the mountains, which would provide many easy opportunities to get away from the office with family and friends. The decisions that are made in Washington affect everyone; if I worked closer to Washington, it would be very tempting to find a way to expand my practice to be a bigger part of that decision-making process.
Vita: Born Aug. 25, 1976, in Charlotte; bachelors from University of Virginia and law degree from Duke University; wife and two children. Specialty: Corporate. Why he chose this field: I enjoy the partnership dynamic of many corporate transactions. Once a transaction closes, the parties often must work together. This provides incentives for all parties to find creative solutions to differences that arise. What hed be if not a lawyer: Id work in or around sports. Memorable case: It involved the completion of Winston-Salems new downtown baseball stadium. There were a lot of moving parts other investors, Minor League Baseball, local government and several banks. It was very satisfying to attend opening day for the 2010 season. Passions: Playing lousy golf and fishing. Favorite place: The Bahamas. Recent Reading: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I cant turn the pages fast enough. Dont ask him to: Sing, other than to my daughters.

Emerald Downs News and Stable NotesFriday, April 6, 2012Jebrica winning the 2011 Emerald Downs Derby
It couldn't have gone much better last season for Hall of Fame trainer Jim Penney and his daughter and assistant Kay Cooper. The pair conditioned three divisional champions and matched their total output from the previous three years by winning six Emerald Downs' stakes races. Penney finished the season tied for first with trainer Doris Harwood in stakes wins and led all trainers with $562,901 in purse earnings–$263,555 from stakes races. Not only that, but both Top 3-Year-Old Jebrica and Top 3-Year-Old Filly Class Included found success in Canada, where they each won a stakes race at Hastings Park. Penney said he knows last year will be hard to top, but that his barn has the weapons to pull it off.
"I think it's quite possible that we can top what we did last year," Penney said. "Especially since all of our stakes winners have returned."
That's a scary report for the competition, which hopes for a slice of the $1.5 million-plus in stakes money to be doled out this season. We're still more than a month away from the Hastings Handicap, but the Penney barn has already placed itself as the early favorite for the most stakes victories in 2012. Besides Jebrica and Class Included, the returning all-stars include 2011 Top Juvenile Male Chu and I, last year's Belle Roberts winner Sweet Nellie Brown, Top 3-Year-Old Filly of 2009 Sis's Sis and 3-year-old filly prospect Lady Hokulea. Furthermore, Penney said he's impressed with what he's seen from his 2-year-olds thus far.
"This might be the best crop of 2-year-olds that I've ever had," Penney said. "You never know, but they appear to have plenty of potential."
With support from owners like Michael and Amy Feuerborn, it appears Penney might have every stakes division covered. Recently, the Feuerborns, owners and breeders of Class Included and Chu and I, have been an absolute force. In 2011, the Maple Valley owners finished first in earnings with $236,931 and stakes wins with four.

acoustic neuroma
is a noncancerous tumor. It grows on the acoustic nerve, which runs from the brain to the ear. This type of tumor typically grows slowly. It may cause hearing loss, balance problems, facial numbness, and headaches.
There are three main treatment options for an acoustic neuroma:
This fact sheet focuses on microsurgical removal.
A successful procedure results in complete removal of the tumor with minimal additional hearing loss.
Side effects may be temporary or permanent. If you are planning to have this surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
The following medicines may be given before the procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure. These may include:
General anesthesia
will be used. You will be asleep.
The type of procedure will depend on your condition. Factors such as hearing status and the size and location of the tumor will be considered. One of the following surgical methods will be selected:
This approach is often used when you already have significant hearing loss. The mastoid bone in the skull and bone in the inner ear will be removed. This allows access to the ear canal and the tumor.
An opening will be made in the skull behind the ear. This approach is used for large or small tumors. It makes it easier to see and protect the nerves during surgery.
The tumor will be removed from the upper surface of the ear canal. This approach is used when there is a good chance that hearing may be maintained.
You will spend at least one night in the intensive care unit for care and observation.
The surgery takes about 6-12 hours. The exact length will depend on the size and location of the tumor.
Anesthesia will prevent pain during the procedure. You may notice pain after the procedure. Talk to your doctor about medications to help manage the pain.
The usual length of stay is 4-7 days. Your stay may be longer if there are complications.
During recovery, you may have some of the following:
Staff will help you manage these problems.
When you return home, follow these guidelines for a safe recovery:
Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks.
MRI scans
will be done regularly over the next several years. The scans will check to see if the tumor returns.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if you have:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I'm trying to import contacts into Zimbra from a very old copy of Lotus Notes and have one person with over 1,800 contacts.
Is there a way that I can quickly (via a CLI) delete his contacts if I screw up the import? I'm using the REST interface via a CSV file and the import goes very smoothly; but I need to be able to quickly reset his address book. The thought of selecting over 1,800 contacts via a GUI breaks my heart!
(if you can point me to where openLDAP stores the records, I might be able to hack a perl script together, but would rather not do the work if I don't have to...)

Happy New year wishes from Puerto Vallarta!
|Mexico Sailing Trip 2008-2011
12/25/2008, Puerto Vallarta
Merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year!
|Mexico Sailing Trip 2008-2011
Happy New Year 2009, from Manuela (PASSAGES), to you and your family, please e-mail me
12/23/2008, Puerto Vallarta
We arrived at Puerto Vallarta on December 18; we were lucky and got a slip in the Paradise Village marina, which is a very fancy, and huge resort. The good thing about it is that it is extremely luxurious, but the down side is that you could spend a year here and never know you were in Mexico. It is very Americanized and also isolated from town (a 20 minute bus ride).
That being said, we're enjoying our stay here a great deal.
There are crocodiles in the marina, so "No Swimming -- crocodile zone" and "Don't feed the crocodiles" signs are everywhere.
Some of the crocs here reach 17 feet in length.
Last night we enjoyed Jazz Night at the P.V. Yacht Club - they had a former keyboard player for Carlos Santana there, who was fabulous. along with an electric bass and a fantastic drummer from Cuba.
This evening we had dinner in town with friends Dan and Esther Carrico and David Schwarz. They both have bought hi-rise condos in P.V., which were gorgeous.
Dinner at The Barracuda restaurant was excellent.

yes we were lucky to get a slip in Paradise Village, but I have to say, we much prefer the El Cid. Paradise Village is huge, and something gets lost in the process. We're looking forward to sailing further south in January.

We departed San Blas this morning and sailed about 20 miles south to the beautiful anchorage of Chacala. This bay is fringed with coconut palms and palapas, like this one where we enjoyed margaritas and guacamole & chips. We could see the sun set behind our boat CALOU as we enjoyed the margaritas and the boys played on the beach.

We got up early to catch a panga to take us upstream to the jungle. The 110 peso (8 dollar) fare was well worth it. In fact, in the U.S., one would easily pay the same fare in pesos... in dollars. The boat trip was magical, leading us through jungle where we had to duck our heads to make way. Exotic birds sang and showed themselves on the banks of the jungle estuary. We also saw turtles, weird land crabs, and, yes, crocodiles (or in Spanish, 'cocodriles'). Some of these monsters were ten feet long.

It's so weird preparing for Christmas in Mexico with 80 and 90 degree temperatures! Yesterday we bought a 3' Christmas tree for the boat, and decorations, so we're getting in the spirit.
Christmas shopping is difficult, most stores carry products for people who earn five dollars a day.
This morning, I took a taxi at 9 a.m. from San Blas to Tepic, the capital of the state of Nayarit. The road there was beautiful, going first through lush jungle, banana, coffee, and clove plantations, and then to higher altitudes in the volcanic mountains of the regions. Finally at Tepic, we arrived at a machine shop that had every sort of lathe, mill, drill press, etc.
To extract the two bolts whose heads had broken off, they welded nuts onto the bolt shafts, so they could be turned out. For the aluminum stripper piece, they welded on a new base. All this was expertly done. The bill for services: 200 pesos (about 14 dollars).
That being done, I returned by taxi to San Blas (a one hour drive), and upon arriving, set to work reinstalling the windlass and reconnecting the heavy duty wires. This was finally completed around 5:30 p.m.
After this, we went to town to have dinner.
We had dinner in a very fancy colonial era hotel built in 1883, delicious prawns with chipotle cream sauce, for only 140 pesos (about ten dollars).
Tomorrow morning early, we are going to take a guided tour up the estuary, to see the jungle, tropical birds and crocodiles. We've heard from reliable sources it's one of the best guided tours in all of Mexico.

12/14/2008, San Blas
After a good night's sleep, we got up at 6:30 this morning at Matenchen Bay, and raised the anchor by using the primary winches again. From there we sailed to the entrance of the San Blas channel, where Captain Norm, a.k.a. "Jama", agreed to meet us to escort us into the channel. The cruising guides say that San Blas channel is very tricky and not to enter it without such an escort.
Norm stood on the shore with a portable VHF and guided us in. After that we were invited to meet at Norm's place. Norm is a very amiable guy to acts as the de facto cruiser's ambassador in San Blas. He lives in a house in town with his wife, and has been there for over 40 years. While he regaled us with stories about San Blas and Mexico, his wife served us pineapple pastries and drinks in their lush garden.
First order of business, Norm promised to help us get our anchor windlass repaired. He arranged to have a taxi pick me up at 9 the next morning, and take me into Tepic, the capital of Nayarit State. There, he says, we could find a metal shop capable of repairing our windlass.
San Blas is a small, poor fishing village. There's very little tourism, and no modern hotels or condos, primarily because of the jejenes (pronounced "heheh-ness"), or Mexican so see-ums, that come around at sunset. Norm says San Blas is blessed by the jejenes, because this way it gets to remain a real Mexican town.
We did a little walking tour of the town, stopping to buy a Christmas tree and decorations, some groceries, and lunch at a restaurant called Mc Donald's. This one doesn't have golden arches, it's a regular Mexican restaurant, and I think they don't have to worry about the hamburger chain bothering them since the sign says "since - desde - 1952". I don't think the hamburger chain was even around then.
On the way back, we bought a kilo of giant prawns for 140 pesos (10 bucks), and had them for dinner sauteed with garlic butter. Delicious!
|Mexico Sailing Trip 2008-2011
We are glad to know that you are all well and enjoying the beautiful Pacific.We remember you and the pleasant time we spent together.We look forward to your return to San Blas;the giant shrimp await you also.
With sincerest respect and admiration
Capt Norm and Janet Stay Beautiful
12/14/2008, Matenchen Bay
Departing from Isla Isabella, we made the passage to San Blas in the afternoon. We saw the most amazing display of two humpback whales, who were cavorting together just a hundred yards from our boat.
We arrived at San Blas at about 6 PM this evening as the sun was setting.
As we hauled up the anchor at Isla Isabella this afternoon, we found that the anchor windlass was broken. The anchor chain winds around a drum, and there's an aluminum stripper that is supposed to peel the chain off the drum. The stripper had cracked and broke off right where it was attached to the windlass with two bolts. We'll have to try to fix the windlass in San Blas.
With the windlass inoperative, we had to raise the anchor by hand. We did this by tying a rope to the anchor chain, and running the rope back to the primary winches. This way we could drag about 20 feet of chain onto the deck, then reattach the rope to the chain at the bow and raise another 20 feet until it was all in. Using our electric winch handle, this was surprisingly easy.
Anyway, we arrived in San Blas at sunset and got on the radio with Captain Norm, a.k.a. "Jama", on VHF channel 22. Jama is a longtime (40 years) resident of San Blas and the self appointed ambassador to cruisers coming into San Blas. He advised us to not try to enter the channel at night, but to anchor out at nearby Matenchen Bay, and to rendezvous with him outside the channel at 8 a.m. the next morning.
With the anchor down, Pascale made a delicious arrachera steak dinner.

CM Punk new comic
Rumors broke over the weekend that CM Punk was going to be writing a new comic book on the Punisher. It turned out to be another character instead, even though Punk did admit that he really wanted to write one for the Punisher. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that the character that Marvel gave him was Drax the Destroyer, which interestingly enough is portrayed by Batista in Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
April 26, 2015
Batista as Drax
Since the Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown to become so big, there is a very good chance that we will see Batista portraying Drax outside of the Guardians of the Galaxy film series. Rumors coming out of Hollywood have him in negotiations with the studios to make a possible appearance in the third series of the Avengers movie. Some are even stating that he might make a brief cameo in the second one this summer.
March 22, 2015
Melina and Batista
Some rumors will never die, it seems. As the latest guest of Jim Ross on his podcast show, Melina was asked to address the issue once again. She stated that she was in a relationship with John Morrison for approximately eleven years. It was revealed that the two of them broke up because of rumors that she had cheated on Morrison with Batista, whom she stated was merely a friend backstage who stood up for her when others ridiculed her.
March 13, 2015
Batista in Highlander movie
The rumors have now been confirmed. Batista has been officially cast for the new Highlander movie being made. He will star as a character named The Kurgan. The former WWE star is actually the first person on the cast to be officially confirmed. No word yet on when the film will start shooting, but the 46 year old is currently doing the latest James Bond movie. With that busy of a schedule, do not expect to see another return to wrestling yet.

HOUSTON - A massive three-alarm fire ripped through a north Harris County vehicle salvage yard on Monday.
The fire broke out at Texmex Auto Salvage, 10600 Airline, about 11:30 a.m.
Thick, black smoke filled the air while flames ravaged more than 100 cars, officials said.
Small explosions were heard coming from some of the cars.
"They're saying it's the magnesium blocks exploding ... shocks from the struts and stuff like that," said Long Nguyen, who works at a neighboring business.
Firefighters said they had a tough time fighting the blaze. Firefighters said they initially arrived with more than 4,000 gallons of water.
"With the amount of cars involved and there not being any water in the vicinity that we could use for a water supply, we had to use several tanker shuttles from different agencies to come in and provide us with water," said Deputy Chief Sean Richardson of Little York Fire and Rescue.
A total of eight firefighting agencies worked to put out the fire.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Choosing the Right Cabinetry
Creating a space that is uniquely your own can be an overwhelming process.
Explore this section to learn all you need to know to be confident in the choices you make.
Natural Wood Expectations
"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they are still beautiful."
- Alice Walker
It's hard to believe, but the materials for your dream space had a life long before you. And it is that history that makes them perfect for your home. Before they took residence in your home, they lived in nature. And, in many ways, nature lived in them. This is evident in the grain of the wood, the pinholes, the knots, the burls and the eclectic coloration left behind by mineral deposits. If you look closely, you can read the story of their former life. As with all organic material, there are also things to expect as the wood adjusts to a new life in your home.
Start Exploring
Discover the selection of wood types available from KraftMaid and find out for yourself how wood and finish combine.
Joint Lines
Wood is in a constant state of expansion and contraction. This normal movement may cause some hairline cracks at the joints in the finish surface on cabinet doors and face frames. This is a natural occurrence and does not weaken or diminish the strength of the joints.
End Grain
End grain surfaces are softer in composition than other areas of the wood. As such, they absorb more stain and often appear darker. This is a natural reaction and potential variances cannot be prevented.
Mineral Streaks
In nature, mineral deposits may form in the wood as the tree extracts nutrients from the soil. Common in many wood types, these mineral deposits cause blackish-blue streaks in the grain. When a finish is applied to mineral streaks, it may appear lighter or darker than other areas of your cabinetry.
The grain is the identifying feature of each wood type. This grain will "telegraph" or show through the stain. Open or coarse-grained wood (oak, hickory) will telegraph more than closed or fine-grained wood (maple, cherry).
Certain wood, such as cherry, will continue to mellow and darken over time. This brings warmth to lightly-stained cherry and increases depth below darker stains.
Environmental Factors
A wood product is typically affected by environmental conditions that may alter its appearance from what it looked like when it was new. Here are a few conditions to keep in mind:
- As wood ages, the appearance of the finish may change or darken over time due to environmental factors such as interior lighting, sunlight and humidity.
- Finishes react to prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke, resulting in discoloration, which is especially noticeable on white and lighter finishes.
- Ovens and ranges emit heat and steam during operation. To protect the finish of adjacent cabinets, we strongly recommend the use of heat shields. On thermofoil cabinetry, heat shields are required.
- Showroom cabinetry samples, depending on age, room lighting and environmental factors, may look different from the new cabinetry installed in your home. To ensure satisfaction with a finish color, it is best to view a new sample in your home environment.
Color Variation
All KraftMaid finishes are hand-crafted. As such, each door will be consistently unique. In addition, the natural characteristics of wood lend themselves to color variation, and this is also true when finish is applied. Veneer wood absorbs more stain than solid wood and will appear darker. Some door styles are built with a solid wood frame and a veneer center panel, which will show more color variation than doors with all solid wood components.

College Entrepreneurship Still Growing Strong
"Everyone is capable of greatness and we inspire greatness in the everyday man," said Idris Shineba, one of four founders of Upperthinking LLC, a new clothing line that stresses not only excellence in clothing but in day to day life as well.
Created in 2011 by four undergraduate students that took a leap of faith with their own money, Upperthinking's founders became the first generation of business owners in their families. Following in the footsteps of greats such as Frederick W. Smith, founder of Fedex, and Michael Dell, of Dell computers, the students of Upperthinking LLC thought college would be the perfect time to start up company and see how far it goes.
Putting up roughly $1,500 each to start the company, the leaders of Upperthinking LLC had an idea in mind and went after their goal. "We didn't care about the economy," said Bobby Chungong, the company's marketing director, who believes the key inspiration for starting the business at a time when other companies were failing was the need to "follow through" with their vision until it was a reality.
Pulling inspiration from everything from sports to campaign ads, Upperthinking LLC now fills orders from Maryland to California. The clothing company, which began with seven test products has in one year grown into the full-fledged business it is today complete with an official website to place orders and a blog not only on clothing but social issues as well. "Starting something of your own is rewarding," said Tobi Bello, co-founder from the senior business major at University of Maryland, College Park. "It was something we used to do for fun in fashion shows, and as we got older we realized our majors fit perfectly with running a business."
Becoming an entrepreneur to not only follow his own dreams, but have something tangible to pass down to his future family, Shineba, originally from Lagos,Nigeria is now a graphic design major at Morgan State University. "When you work under somebody in a nine to five, you're building someone else's legacy," said Shineba, who had dreams of owning his own company since his teen years in high school.
While struggling financially during and even after the undergrad years is a common theme for most, not all college students have money readily accessible to start a business. In efforts to help entrepreneurs in college, organizations such as the Small Business Association offers programs geared specifically to helping young business owners such as the Income Based Repayment plan, that helps students balance repaying loans while securing lines of credit to launch their dreams of owning and operating a company.
More than just a clothing line, Upperthinking LLC branched out into the community in their first year by raising money through happy hours for charities such as US AID and area schools. In 2012, the company seeks to to do even more with the community across the state.
"Stay inspired," says Bob Chungong, Upperthinking LLC's marketing director from Prince George's Community College, "whether it's creating your own clothing line, becoming an entrepreneur or doing well in school, we just want to do as much as we can to inspire people."

Equity Point runs a hotel in Prague:
| The Equity Point Prague Hotel in the centre of Prague
Prague Guide
Equity Point Prague is the latest incorporation in our hostels and it's located in... The capital of Czech Republic is the most valuable historical city reserve. Since the middle Ages, Prague has been known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with adjectives such as "golden", hundred-spired, "the crown of the world" and "stone dream".
The historical core of Prague is situated on both banks of the Vltava River and consists of 6 districts – formerly independent urban units unified in the 18th century. They are as follows: Staré Mêsto (Old town), Josefov (the preserved part of the former Jewish Town – today a part of Old Town), Malá Strana (Lesser Town) Hradcany and Vysehrad. Naturally most of the historical monuments, museums and galleries are concentrated in these places.
Few cities are as romantic and magical as Prague, with its beautiful preserved mix of architectural styles (Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Neo-classicism) Winding streets and bridges.
Prague is a dazzling capital with beautiful preserved historical sites and fascinating attractions like:
- The Castle: Called hrad by the locals and has towered regally over the city since the ninth century. Listed by Guinness World Records as the world's largest ancient castle, it's actually a whole complex of sprawling palaces, churches, courtyards, halls and gardens.
- St Vitus Cathedral: Built between 1344 and 1929, is the heart of Prague Castle and the Millennium – old center of the Czech spiritual world. Don't miss the main entrance featuring a gilded 14th century mosaic depicting the Last judgment.
- Charles Bridge: Which its blackened statues straddling the Vltava River, is best appreciated at dawn or late night to see it at its most spectacular and less busy – before or after the myriads of onlookers, buskers and street-sellers line its side. The silhouettes of the statues lining the massive 520m – long stone construction, dating back to medieval times, hover ghost-like in the skyline and make for atmospheric photo opportunities.
- Old Town Square: is a place to people watch and the centerpiece of the city, but also a spot to marvel at the famous Astronomical Clock which is over 600 years old. Visitors can watch a performance of the clock at the top of each hour. To admire panoramic views of many of the surroundings buildings and fairytale gothic spires, you can climb to the top of the Old Town Hall.
- Petrin Hill: Head to Petrin Hill for the most incredible views above the city. Here stands the 299 steps high Eifell-inspired observation tower which offers the chance to glance down on the baroque roofs, all reached by a funicular railway.
- Loreto: Loreto is a dazzling building and Christian pilgrimage site that was created in the 17th century to promote the legend of Santa Casa, a copy of the house believed to be the Virgin Mary's.
- Wenceslas Square: is the city's beating heart, a place to soak up the nightlife of Prague. Once a horse market it now bristles with restaurants, hotels, designer shops and cafes. It's also home to one of Europe's great opera houses, the National Museum and the statue of St Wenceslas.
- Mala Strana: This is the historic heart; it's where Beethoven used to hang out – a romantic twilight world of cobblestone streets and medieval alleyways.
- The Theatre of the Estates: This place is where Mozart premiered his opera Don Giovanni in 1787, which is still in the venue's repertoire today. This fully-restored opera house is one of the most atmospheric spots to take in a show.
