If you can read this go to hangin10.com
The Beach Boys total blow away the Beetles. The Beach Boys are so much original. There songs have more heart then anyother. Where were the Beetles in the 70's and 80's? No where. The Beach Boys were a profitable touring act.

i have them on video & i love the music past & present
My favorite Beach Boys Tune is "The Warmth of The Sun" because I think that Brian really acheived his goal of making music spiritual.. Some of the stuff from the 'Smile' era that we are treated to, like Windchimes and Cabinessence are jawdroppingly beautiful, and I still get shivers whenever "Wouldn't it be Nice" comes on the radio...
that said... Why is Mike Love such an ass?....
the Beach Boys is what my dad used to punish me on long car trips. i hate those fucking fags
Metal Immortal
to bad metal immortal but i never got punished with beach boys because i love them. i also love things the total oppisite but whatever. i still like them.
Shame on you, Metal Immortal. Clean your mouth out with soap & water this instant.
i'm a fan.
awesome band.
They are total.

Infamous bank robber Willie Sutton was once asked by a reporter: "Why do you rob banks?" His iconic response was: "Because that's where the money is." While I don't recommend robbing banks, I do recommend that you adopt a similar mind-set when it comes to trading. Let me explain...
Beta is a measure of volatility. It tells you how much a stock moves relative to the broader market indices. A stock with a beta below one is less volatile than the market, a stock with a beta of exactly one is exactly correlated to the market, and a stock with a beta of greater than one is more volatile than the market.
If you are a conservative long-term investor, you may gravitate toward low-beta sectors like utilities and consumer staples. I believe active traders, however, should focus more heavily on high-beta stocks (which are found most often in high-growth sectors like tech). Why? Because as our friend Willie Sutton put it so eloquently: "that's where the money is."
If you are an educated and seasoned active trader, I believe you should consider volatility your best friend. If you aren't properly trained to trade high-beta stocks, though, they can be your worst enemy. While high-beta stocks carry greater potential reward, they also come with an equally greater measure of risk. To use another metaphor, you don't try to surf the biggest wave in the world without building your skills up over time. If you do try, you will almost certainly fail, and there is a strong possibility that you could drown.
I focus almost exclusively on trading high-beta stocks because I am confident in my ability to carve money out of them using a skill-set I've honed over my 15-year trading career. On Thursday, August 1st, I am going to share the core principles of my strategy in a free T3 Live webinar: How to Trade High-Beta Stocks the RIGHT Way. Register here for the webinar.
I look forward to seeing you at next Thursday's webinar, and feel free to reach out with any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ultrasound Cavitation on Dr. Oz
Is Ultrasound Cavitation a painful procedure?
Ultrasound Cavitation is a non-invasive procedure – No needles, no surgery, no anesthesia. This means no pain and no recovery time!
When are the results of Ultrasound Cavitation visible?
AFTER EACH SESSION clients are able to see the results of the treatment. You will continue to see increasingly favorable results up to a week after your treatment session. However, other factors such as age and metabolism can impact the results.
For you convenience we provide a Proform vibration platform which allow clients to complete 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in only 15 minutes! This will accelerate the process of metabolization and ensure the process of fat elimination is completed. Complimentary bottles of water are always offered to each client, as water is essential to the metabolic process. We even have free parking for you!
What is Ultrasound Cavitation and how does it work?
Ultrasound Cavitation is a non-invasive, body sculpting alternative to surgical fat removal procedures. As the ultrasonic probe is moved across the target area, the probe emits a frequency releasing minor heat and pressure waves, which breaks down the fat cells. Tripolar RF is used to metabolize the fat cells. The heat used during this step causes the collagen fibers to contract, tighten. When new collagen is produced it results in smoother, younger looking skin. While Lipolysis assists with tightening the skin, it also causes the remaining fat cell membranes to explode and forces elimination through the body's normal metabolic process.
Does Ultrasound Cavitation damage your body?
No! The process of Ultrasound Cavitation is the bodies normal response in retrieving, utilizing and eliminating stored energy reserves. This purpose of this procedure is to accelerate the process, bringing clients closer to achieving their goals sooner! Note: Ultrasound Cavitation is not limited by skin type or the desired target area.

I have just bought the ArduPilot Mega 2560 Full Kit... plus the Triple Axis Magnetometer HMC5883L. I should have it built over the weekend.. then i'm off to a my mates machine shop, and i'll make the splitter plate for the lower frame onto which i am going to fit the Ardupilot. the magnetometer i'll put on the tail as suggested. I am going to use my X-cell Razor 600E. For those that dont know its around the 50 size nitro heli.
Do i need to buy any other sensors i.e. the Sonar... i can fly a helicopter all day long but this is my first time flying one with stabilisation so any tips would be gratefully appreciated.
If this works well then i am going to try and use it on my x-cell gasser. i can get up to 20 minute flights with this. But i think for the time being a battery 600 is the way to go.
i'll post some pictures when i have it all together.

Yes, sorry about that. Known issue, I thought it would be fixed, but it's not.
You can still setup with CLI, or put your parameters into the parameter screen manually.
No problem, it's that I don't have my parameter file with me atm, and I'm having problems setting up tail without external gyro with a decent servo (picked up a specturm yesterday)
My Rate P 0.4 value I used couple of days ago is way to touchy now, or my stab yaw P is off, either way it's a hand full today :(
Despite the rain, I managed to fly. Two things:
- The GPS not found issue must have to do with a sometimes very slow booting function of the ACM. Sometimes the ACM needs quite a while until green and red lights starts flashing. I have no clue why, but it is clearly the reason why then the GPS can not be recognized.
- How big should the Alt Hold or Loiter D terms be? I know from other PID loops, that D terms are often about 10x larger than P term. So I am wondering why they are set up 10 or even 100 times lower than P term. Will I freak the PID loop up by really strongly increasing the D terms for Alt hold and loiter?
Uh, yeah, you don't want to have the D terms too high, very bad. D terms are a double edged sword for PID tuning. They can really help polish a process. But they can also really mess it up really fast.
Had another two good flights today, with 2.5+. Really fun. Did a bit of Loiter, but I still don't have it tuned in yet. But it didn't do anything stupid.
One idea I had was to create a "weathervane" function. I think this would help when just flying the helicopter around. It would act similar to the way old non-HH would weathervane. Heading hold is nice in some cases, but not others.
It would be selectable.
Basically, it would have a speed deadband where it doesn't do anything. Above this deadband, it would have a P-I function which would turn the nose of the heli into the direction of the velocity. The higher the speed, the stronger it would try to turn to face it. This might help make the helicopter fly more like an airplane. You would be able to yaw against it with the sticks, but probably only so far.
It would make nice scale-like flying easier.
What do you guys think? Would it be nice, or a waste of time?
Sorry Robert missed you weathervane comment, Your right thats how the old rate gyros worked which was good if you were flying fast forward, as you say the tail would in the end line up. But i believe most people have learnt to fly by feeding in tail as well as aileron. But would it possible to have a switch, to go from Rate to HH? just like most gyros do.
Yeah, I was thinking it could be a Ch7 option.
I think it would be a feature that scale guys would like. Or even just sport fliers.
We've got an issue describing something very close to what you're describing. In this suggestion it's an extensino to simple mode so that if you command the roll or pitch to be over x degrees it turns to point in the direction you're commanding.
Hmmm... Ok, so people are interested.
I think that it would be better if it was related to air (or ground) speed, rather than bank angle. Basically, make it fly like an airplane.
I think it should also be "soft". Not like, if you're hovering, and then start moving, all the sudden it crosses a speed threshold and *boing* it spins around. I'm thinking a speed deadband of 10km/h. Once you pass 10km/h, it starts acting, but it's variable. Always subtract 10km/h from the airspeed, so with a speed of 11km/h, it's acting with a "force" of 1. At 20 km/h, force of 10, etc. The turn rate would look something like:
If (velocity > 10km/h && WeatherVane)
WeathervaneTurnRate = ProportionalGain * (heading direction - velocity direction) * (airspeed - 10km/h)
And I would just add that TurnRate right into the same equation where pilot yaw commands affect the heading.
YawRate = YawIn + WeathervaneTurnRate
That way, the pilot could still input yaw, but it would always be countered by the strength of the weathervane. So you could only "skid" the tail out, but the amount that you could skid would depend on airspeed (this would fall out of the equation naturally, not require a new equation).
So, end result is, if you are hovering, and then start flying sideways, once you pass 10km/h, it will softly start to weathervane into the direction of movement. The faster you go, the faster it turns around.
The Proportional gain could be established with a default that people don't *need* to touch, but could touch if they really wanted. Ideally, it should be overdamped so that it never oscillates past the straight-back. This will be helped by the fact that the weathervane yaw rate is influenced not just by speed, but also by the angle error. So for a given speed, the turn rate will be reduced as it approaches straight-back.
If you fly the copter around a corner, the yaw heading will naturally lag a little. A little bit like adverse-yaw in an airplane. So, the pilot would still be required to "lead" the tail around the turn with the rudder if they want to make a really nice turn, just like an airplane.
The idea springs out of the fact that I can fly airplanes really well. But I'm still learning helis. Part of the problem is, as they say, too many degrees of freedom. This somewhat removes one of those degrees.
This would allow a pilot to put it in Alt_Hold for example, Weathervane on, and fly really nice circuits just like an airplane.
Noob question time: Does the forum have an option to search a single thread? I'd like to search this thread to see if my quuestion has already been answered, but 117 pages is too much for me. My eyes glazed over at about page 25.
If you'll forgive my short attention span and complete nubbishness, I'm hoping for a little insight to get up to speed. This is my first ArduPilot, and for that matter, my first R/C. I'm putting this together as a project for my undergraduate engineering studies, and finding a love for the hobby in general, even though I'm still a complete noob. I've been relying on my friends who are experienced with R/C to get me up to speed on that end, but I'm still inexperienced with the APM.
I am just a little confused about mounting my new APM 2.0 on my TRex 450 Pro V2. I've got it mounted on the radio tray behind the swashplate on top, but I saw Randy say in an older thread that the GPS needs to be out from under the rotor to get signal.
Does this mean the GPS needs to be all the way back on the tail, or just out from underneath the main metal stuff? I bought my APM 2.0 with the integrated GPS, and I'm hoping I didn't screw up super bad in the process.
Hmmm... That's a tough question. I can't really say if that will be OK or not. Conventional wisdom is to put it on the tail, but I don't know it's every been proven to be *necessary*. I have put my compass on the APM, and it is proving to be troublesome. I plan on moving it. I don't know 100% that it's the cause of the problem, but I've run out of patience fighting it and don't have the tools to try and get the data I need.
Is your APM mounted under the body or on the radio tray? If it's under the body, conventional wisdom says the motor will bother the megnetometer. The reason I'm mounting my APM 2.0 on the radio tray is because I thought that it would be the best place for both the megnetometer and the GPS.
I'll run a long test when I get it up and running completely. I'll spin up the blades and keep it on the ground for a few minutes at different angles.
If the GPS stays solid, I'll know it'll probably be ok. If not, one of my fellow students still has his APM 2.0 on back order for his quad, so he'll be able to change his order to external GPS, and we'll trade across.
Actually, come to mention it, if I just order the external GPS module, will the APM give me the option to lock out the onboard one, or will I actually have to get one without onboard?

One of two inmates who smashed through a prison wall and abseiled 20 storeys using rope and bed sheets is back behind bars.
10:37, UK, Friday 21 December 2012
One of two bank robbers who escaped from a high-rise federal jail in Chicago is back in custody after a three-day manhunt.
FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde has confirmed that Joseph Banks, 37, was captured late on Thursday.
He had fled the city centre Metropolitan Correctional unit early on Tuesday morning with 38-year-old Kenneth Conley, who remains at large.
The pair broke out by apparently smashing a hole in a wall at the bottom of a narrow cell window and squeezing through, before scaling down about 20 storeys using a knotted rope and bed sheets.
Police helicopters and dog units swarmed the Chicago area, but only after about three hours when prison officers noticed they were missing.
Surveillance footage showed Banks and Conley jumping into a taxi moments after their escape.
They showed up again five hours later at Conley's family home in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park.
One of his brothers told the Chicago Tribune he looked frazzled and was claiming he was out on bail. Conley's mother told them to leave, and then promptly called the police.
The daring escape has embarrassed staff at the jail and left them with a few questions to answer.
Union officials have blamed the episode on staffing shortages.
A guard assigned to monitor the CCTV cameras apparently failed to see the breakout because he had to count prisoners on another floor, one official said.

The State of Workplace Health and Safety in New Zealand - June 2011
This report is a snapshot of the state of workplace health and safety in New Zealand. For the first time, key health and safety statistics have been brought together in what will become an annual report.
Every year thousands of New Zealanders are killed or injured at work, or suffer from a work-related disease, resulting in huge personal, social and financial costs.
This report forms part of the Workplace Health and Safety Strategy for New Zealand and is one action of the National Action Agenda. It gives easier access to better quality information, supporting the establishment of clear priorities for reducing New Zealand's work toll and increasing health and safety performance.
Over time, this annual report will be used to monitor our progress towards the Workplace Health and Safety Strategy's vision of 'healthy people in safe and productive workplaces'.

Workplace Health and Safety Strategy vision:
Healthy people in safe and productive workplaces
The State of Workplace Health and Safety in June 2011
- Fatality and injury rates are too high
- Occupational disease and costs don't yet have reliable headline indicators
- Industry and employee engagement is generally high
- Government interventions need to be better targeted and monitored.
5 Monitored Outcome Areas
To reduce the toll of work-related injury and disease and to increase health and safety performance, focus needs to be on five areas.
The following areas must be reduced:
- Work-related injuries and fatalities
- Occupational disease
- Cost of injury and disease.
The following areas must be increased:
- Industry and employee engagement
- Response to Government activity.
Data at a glance
In the last 12 months there have been 85 deaths, 445 serious non-fatal injuries and 30,800 ACC entitlement claims.
- New Zealand has about 470,000 workplaces and two million workers
- The sectors with consistently high work tolls are: construction, agriculture, forestry, fishing and manufacturing
- Occupational disease is estimated to lead to 700-1,000 fatalities and 17,000-20,000 new cases a year - asthma, skin diseases and asbestos-related cancer are big contributors
- Annually, the work toll costs billions in suffering and premature death but the majority of this cost is absorbed by society
- ACC pays out about half a billion dollars a year for work-related claims
- Lost work days on ACC weekly compensation equate to about one day per worker per year
- About 90% of medium and large businesses have health and safety systems but many small businesses have difficulty setting these up
- About 9,600 workplace incidents are notified to the Department of Labour each year – about 1,200 result in compliance or enforcement action
- Annually, there are about 750,000 visits to ACC and DoL websites and health and safety information services, and about 20,000 people make enquiries through the DoL contact centre
- About 5,000 businesses are involved in ACC incentive programmes.
What we're doing
- A National Action Agenda was launched in March 2011, setting national-level actions to help reduce the toll of work-related injury and disease
- Action plans are being developed for five priority sectors (construction, agriculture, fishing, forestry and manufacturing) and for occupational health. The first plan, for the construction industry, was launched in May 2011
- Focused harm reduction activity is targeting key causes of injury and disease, such as quad bikes, falls from height and carbon monoxide
- The Department is supporting the Business Leaders' Health and Safety Forum and their commitment to zero harm in the workplace
- ACC is implementing experience rating, aimed at improving the safety of workplaces by providing incentives for employers to invest in health and safety.

According to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, first-season "American Idol" judge Harry Connick Jr. will return for the show's 14th season in 2015. The show, currently nearing the end of its 13th season, received the green light for another season last week.
Deals to bring co-judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez back for another go around are expected soon. Host Ryan Seacrest agreed to a two-season extension shortly after Fox renewed the show.
Fox chairman Kevin Reilly said that "American Idol" would change its broadcast scheduling for Season 14 from 50+ hours for the entire season to 37 hours. Instead of its usual two-episodes-per-week format, the show will switch to two episodes per week during the audition rounds, then switch to one two-hour episode per week for the duration of the season.
Season 14 will include auditions in the judges' hometowns.
Personal take
Although "American Idol" ratings continue to fall, Connick Jr. has been the best addition the show has made in a long time. His wit, forthrightness, and advice have been largely on target and helpful to this season's contestants, which, as a whole, are the least talented in the show's history.
While the addition of Connick Jr. improved the judges' panel considerably, the show's other attempts to stop the ratings bleeding have been unimpressive. From its smaller auditorium to its real-time social media interactions, most of what "American Idol" has thrown into the mix has not made the show better. Simply put, America is tiring of this show. The proof is in the ratings.
The venue from which the live shows originate seems cramped and low-class compared to the venues the show used in previous seasons. Crammed with audience members that look suspiciously like relatives and friends of the show's staff, it doesn't take much to figure out the party-like atmosphere the show's execs went after is staged.
While Urban is a solid presence on the panel, Lopez is not. From her "goosies" to the tears she sheds for each and every contestant, this is one judge the show could do without. It's always suspicious whenever an actor or actress sheds tears in a "real" setting. After all, don't actors get paid to cry on demand?
If "American Idol" wants to go out with a bang – and face it, the end is close – the show's execs ought to assemble a dream team judges' panel. Simon Cowell, Connick Jr., and Steven Tyler sounds good.
"American Idol" airs in Provo on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and Thursdays at 8 p.m. on Fox 13.

He is bright, committed to being an effective leader, open to coaching and feedback and highly educated. Kind of the ideal type of person you want to help learn and grow. He is struggling with one "mental block"; to him leadership is a punch list of things to do that, when completed, makes you a leader.
When interacting with his manager, HR business partner, me as a consultant and with his team he can articulate his intentions and encourage others to offer feedback. Check off box #1. He delegates once he has confidence in an employee's ability. Check off box #2. He thinks strategically and explains goals. There goes box #3. And so it continues
Unfortunately he often fails to see the difference between what he says and what he does. He encourages differing views but then explains why the person's logic is flawed and why his is the "right logic." He talks about mutual respect but in multi-departmental meetings openly criticizes others on relatively minor issues. He encourages collaboration within his team and across teams but often causes his employees to "get caught in the crossfire" of conflict he himself creates with his peers in those departments. He explains his actions as being a proactive advocate and taking a stand. Check box #4.
He asks people to be patient with his development efforts but then shows impatience when others are slow to learn or make decisions. He has a bias for action. Box #5 taken care of; but often pushes people to make concessions in order to take those actions, leaving them feeling disenfranchised or minimized. "They need to recognize my passion and dedication", is how he rationalizes his behavior.
Now, when he receives candid 360 survey feedback that can help him understand the experience he creates for others and learn from it, his immediate reactions are: "But I am doing all the things I have read about good leadership" and "People misunderstand what I am trying to do."
Our advice to him: scrap the punch list, pack the books away and let people help you understand what it is like to work with and for you. That is the beginning of effective leadership.

Some People are truly gifted. They possess certain abilities that are not present in the majority of
the population. One excellent example is the kind of gift that psychics have, which is the ability to go beyond
what is considered normal. However, you would be surprised to learn that each one of us has the
psychic potential. But just like anything that is dormant and often left unused, it will not manifest itself
unless it is activated, honed and enhanced until it is fully optimized.
Activating Your Psychic Potential
Now that you recognize that you have Psychic potential, the next logical step to do is to learn how
to activate it. Much has been said about the different ways to activate your Psychic potential. The
information may vary, depending on your source. Some recommend that you stimulate your pineal
gland through visualization and breathing exercises, engage in deep meditation, pay more attention
to your"gut instinct" and supplement it by reading continuously on the topic as well as many more
exercises. They say you can learn a lot from the experiences of experts.
It can be said, however that there is really no exact answer specific to one person. What may have
activated these abilities of one Psychic may not necessarily be the case for you. Sometimes these
abilities are activated by chance, or fate and Jennifur Diamond is the perfect example.
Psychic Ability Due To Head Trauma
In 89 Jennifur Diamond planned a vacation to Florida. As she prepared for her trip she never had
the slightest inkling what lie ahead for her. Jennifur Diamond was involved in a terrible car
accident where she was unconscious and revealed what she saw during that time. In being able
to take a glimpse at the afterlife and witness the Dr's and nurses coming in and out of her room.
The days after her recovery proved to be confusing.
Jennifur Diamond discovered that she was in possession of a gift- a not your ordinary kind of
gift. After the accident from which she suffered head trauma, she found out that she began to
exhibit highly developed senses where she could smell a color and taste the feel of fabrics
known as Synesthesia. She is able to sense a strangers thoughts, feelings and emotions as
if she has known them for years. Her sense of numbers was also hightened as well. As Jennifur Diamond
looked for ways to explain how and why she possessed such abilities, she sought the help
of Mediums, Empaths and other Psychics.
Finding Answers
There are no right answers carved in stone. Again what may have prompted the activation
of Psychic abilities in one person may not be applicable to you. In Jennifur Diamond's
case, her Psychic ability was brought on as a result of head trauma.

You didn't think we could get rid of her that easily, did you? A couple weeks after Katy Perry elbowed her way into the record books when "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" hit #1 on the strength of some slashed sales prices and a cheaply assembled remix co-starring Missy Elliott, Perry's label EMI has decided to go for the gold once more by releasing a sixth single off Teenage Dream, in the hopes of eclipsing Michael Jackson's shared record of five #1 hits off the same album. ("Nothing ventured, nothing gained," EMI marketing and promotion EVP Greg Thompson explained to Billboard.)
The song? "The One That Got Away," the final of the album's five Dr. Luke / Max Martin productions to be pulled as a single. Like the album's title track, it's a story of young love, where Katy expresses her regrets for letting the title character go, saying "In another life / I would make you stay / So I don't have to say / You were the one that got away." Along the way, she waxes nostalgic about "mak[ing] out in your Mustang to Radiohead" (like, "Paranoid Android" Radiohead?) and laments that "All this money can't buy me a time machine" (keep raking it in, Katy, we'll see).
Ultimately, the song is something of a surprise choice for single over the maybe more fan favorite Tricky Stewart productions "Circle the Drain" and "Hummingbird Heartbeat," but of course nothing succeeds like success, and after four straight home runs with the Luke/Martin/Perry troika (hey, is Luke Perry's middle name "Martin" by any chance? Nope, darn), it's hard to argue with the line of thinking. Unlike "Last Friday Night," which we feared would be a chart-topper one day from the first time we heard it, "The One" doesn't sound like a #1 to us—the lyrics are too rote, the beat is too plodding. But after five #1s, we've learned not to underestimate Ms. Perry or her record label, and we don't want to reverse jinx her anyway.
We will ask, though, of our faithful Popdust readers: Please do not spend money on this song. Katy's already made more than enough chart history with this album, any more and we might have to give up on the charts entirely.

Kolle Ready For Bonsante
Interview by Ramon Hough
Photo by Jesse Kelly
Middleweight Andy 'Kaos' Kolle (17-2, 12 KOs) will be taking on Anthony 'The Bullet' Bonsante (32-10-3, 18 KOs) in the main event this Saturday at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minn. Coming off a knockout loss to world titlist, pound-for-pound entrant Paul Williams, the 26-year-old Kolle says his focus is solely on this fight as he aims to get back in the win column.
Here is what Kolle had to say:
You're taking on a tough, rugged veteran fighter in 38-year-old Tony Bonsante, why are you taking this fight instead of an easier opponent in your return from a defeat?
I'm a fighter and that's all I want to do. It doesn't matter much who my team selects for me to fight. Either way I am going to commit myself 100% to training for each fight. I'm the type of person who hates having regrets and that is why I make sure to bring the best that I have to every fight. As a fighter I also want to do my part in pleasing the fans. This is the fight the fans wanted so we pushed for it and here we are.
What are your advantages going into this fight and what makes you think you will beat Bonsante?
Don't get me wrong, I think Bonsante is a solid fighter but I truly believe that I have the style to beat him. I've thought that for awhile and I have pushed for this fight since Tony won the state title a couple years ago. I know a lot of people look at how he beat Vanda and compare it to my fight with him (Vanda) and pick him as the favorite but that is the beauty of this sport, styles make fights!
Bonsante has a good inside game and seems to wear people out with his strength and uppercuts inside. How do you plan to combat that and neutralize his considerable in-fighting skills?
That is a question I will be glad to answer in the ring on Saturday night!
I know you're probably focused solely on Bonsante, but do you think this fight could be the beginning of other intriguing Minnesota fights in or around your weight division? (Kost, Truax?)
That's the best thing of being a middleweight in Minnesota...so many options. We have been trying to get fights at 154 because that is a weight I would feel more comfortable at but the opportunities keep coming up at 160 pounds. But you're definitely right I am focused solely on winning that title.
Bonsante has brought in former world champion Bronco McKart and Canadian champ Larry Sharp (both southpaws) to simulate your southpaw style. Have you made any special arrangements as far as sparring or preparation that you can share with us?
I'm glad Bonsante was able to get that type of sparring, that just makes the matchup that much more intriguing. I have sparred a lot of rounds in preparation for this fight. Bonsante is a serious challenge and, like I said before, I went to camp knowing that and did everything in my power to prepare for him!
You recently held a public workout session in front of a large crowd. Although you have had some big fights to prepare you for the type atmosphere you might see this Saturday, can you talk about how you feel the public workout so close to fight time could help prepare you for what is to come.
Honestly, I thought the casino would have done a better job promoting this fight up in Duluth since we are so close. If I hadn't been involved in the fight, I don't think I would have known about it. We just figured we would do a public workout in front of the amateur boxing crowd just to get people interested in the fight in Hinkley. So basically it was a way of getting a good workout in and at the same time doing a little fight promotion.
Do you have anything to add?
I just want to thank everybody that's helped me prepare for this fight, as well as everybody who's made this fight possible. This is a great matchup pitting two fighters who like to stand toe to toe and fight against each other. That's a combination that always makes for an exciting fight! I also want to thank Minnesotaboxing.com for taking the time to do this interview to help us hype this fight…it's gonna be a war. See you at the fights!
Note: Andy Kolle politely declined to talk about his prior fights. Kolle wanted to stay focussed on the fight with Anthony Bonsante.

Sometimes, the fans are better at making movie posters than the studios. Not saying that the posters for 'The Dark Knight' weren't brilliant, but I find these fan-made movie posters by Bulgarian artist, Alexander Stojanov to be divine! Inspired by Drew Struzan's poster for 'Blade Runner' (who also made posters for 'Indiana Jones', 'Back to the Future' and 'Star Wars'), Alexander put together three amazing illustrations for 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight', and 'The Dark Knight Rises' using Painter X and Photoshop. These would be pretty bad ass to see hanging in a theatre. Awesome job Alexander!
Hit the jump and check out Alexander's awesome Batman posters!

"Uh...I'm...I'm sorry but I don't know who you're speaking of,"
The woman stammered out, inching closer to Mjolnir. Beta Ray Bill saw what she was doing, his eyes narrowing, he could not fathom how this woman could hope to lift Mjolnir, but with Thor obviously not here with it in his possession Beta Ray Bill had to assume that some trickery was at play here; he could not let her get the hammer!
"Mjolnir, old friend, to me!" Beta Ray shouted extending his hand outward towards the hammer. Only, there was nothing....Until, the hammer shivered somewhat...Then more, and yet more! Until the whole house shook and rattled violently; the hammer flying from the wall, soaring into Beta Ray Bill's free hand!
All this only took a moment of time, though it seemed much longer. Bill closed his eyes as the feint words of Odin echoed in his mind,
'Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.'
Opening his eyes, he set his gaze on the woman, advancing towards her slowly, he menaced, "I ask for my
'Oath Brother'
, Thor.
is whom I speak of, tell me, where
he? And why or even
have you Mjolnir!?"
((Hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, just wanted to show with irrefutable proof to Amy that he's pretty much legit as he's not only able to lift Mjolnir, but can wield it and utilize it's powers, you know: teacher, *ding ding*))
"But in you...I see the potential to see the Force die, to turn away from its will..."
"You are beautiful to me, exile. A dead spot in the Force, an emptiness in which its will might be denied."

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Boston, MA 02115
Phone: 617-566-1401
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum displays a vast collection from one of the foremost female patrons of the arts. Isabella Stewart Gardner was a patron and friend of leading artists and writers of her time, including John Singer Sargent, James McNeill Whistler, and Henry James. Gardner was a philanthropist and huge supporter of cultural enrichment. She was an ardent fan of the Boston Symphony, the Red Sox, and Harvard College football. Gardner was also the visionary creator of what remains one of the most remarkable collections of art in the world today. For more than 30 years, Gardner traveled the world to amass a remarkable collection of master and decorative arts. Today, that collection is showcased for all to view and enjoy. Visit at 280 The Fenway, Boston, MA.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is famous both for its collection of masterpieces and the quirky restriction imposed by its founder that the galleries remain exactly as she left them, the Gardner occupies a unique place in the hearts of art lovers. The Gardner's three floors of curiously juxtaposed art, architecture, plant life, and music are so dense that it's impossible to visit without finding something new to marvel at.
Yankee Magazine March 2009
"Mrs. Jack" had a strong will, definite tastes in art, and the money to turn her passion into a terrific museum. Old masters, Italian Renaissance pieces, and other major works are housed in a faux Venetian palace adjacent to the Back Bay Fens.

Newsletter 4, June, Winter 06 (Ozzie Special)
It's Really Winter
Winter is really here, I can see snow on Mt. Campbell from my office window. Need to be brave now, must go outside and ride my bike.
A Visit to Aireal
I know what you're thinking; it's all glamour and overseas travel being a bicycle distributor, well not really. Although I did make a very quick trip across the Tasman to visit Robbie and Mick Warren of Aireal Australia. Aireal are based in Bathurst, home of Mt. Panorama, if you're not a petrol head, ask one of your mates. Bathurst is legendary around the world. Anywho, Robbie and Mick are hard at work making Aireal products as fantastic as possible. A lot more work is being done in house so they can make sure the quality is high. While I was there, they were testing single speed hubs, ceramic bearings and their new release symmetrical hubs. All very exciting stuff. You can see a picture of Mick hard at work. Oh yeah, I might have been in Ozzie.
I would just like to say that I quite like Sydney now. Not sure what has changed, it still has too many people and too many cars but…it has so much diversity and even seems like it has culture. You can get good coffee, if you know where the Sydney Allpress café is. The food is fantastic and even the wine tastes OK. Locals are friendly and at the cutting edge of consumerism, they have an Ikea. A big thanks to Matt, Jayne and Isabel Klein for making our stay in Sydney so enjoyable.
One of the Worlds best Drives
When in the mainland, do what the mainlanders do, go and see the country. Our Christchurch based friends Ritchie and Mel had an engagement do at Mt. Cheeseman. This was another opportunity to hit the road for the weekend and catch up with friends from around the country. NOW, if you haven't driven through Arthur's pass, put it on your "must do list". This piece of road is an engineering marvel and also has some great scenery. Don't tell anyone, but there is NO traffic either. We got to Mt. Cheeseman late and missed the epic ride. We were in time for the party.
Santa Cruz media coverage
For all you Santa Cruz fans out there, I highly recommend purchasing the June edition of Mountain Bike action. The MBA has the Nomad on the cover, a Blur XC shoot-out review and the new Santa Cruz ad, which is hilarious, but if you don't get it, you won't get it.
The latest Spoke magazine has got a full page ad of everyone's favourite "non-model", Rob Smail and NZMTBer has an interview with Jenna Makgill and Lauren Campbell.
Increasing Market Share
A very BIG congratulations to my little brother, Taky and his wife Claudia. The Stylianou mountain bike clan has just been increased by one 2.2kg baby boy. Look out for my new nephew at the next race in a few more years. Good on you guys.
Racing overseas
There seems to be a constant stream of my friends heading and returning from racing overseas. Amanda Davies is back after racing in Belgium and Fort Williams world cup races. Both races were wet and challenging and although Amanda did not do as well as she hoped considering there were over 100 women in each race, we all know she raced well. Amanda also managed fit in a conference and sight seeing while in Europe.
Annika Smail has also been competing in the northern hemisphere for a few months now and recently finished 14th in the world cup round in Fort Williams, Scotland. This must be the fastest Blur in the world cup circuit now. Well done Annika.
Jenna Makgill has loaded up her V10 and heading to North America. Lauren Campbell is boxing her V10 up as we speak; she is also heading to North America. Brenda Clapp and Chris Burr are also in North America and you should be able to catch up with their adventures on www.vorb.org.nz. Good luck with the racing and hopefully those selectors are watching.
Welcome aboard
As part of our world domination strategy, we are happy to announce that Eddie Masters will be joining the team. I think Eddie will complement the team well. For those of you they aren't paying attention, Eddie took out the under 19 DH national championship race in sunny Nelson.
Mr. Santa Cruz
The other BIG news is that Rob Roskopp will be coming to Rotorua for the World champs.
Talk to you all soon
Thanks again for your support;
Mike and Sandra.
We hope to be in Auckland soon to pick up the next shipment o Santa Cruz's, meet my new nephew and see Tony Hutcheson before he leaves for the UK.

warm lentil and potato salad
But I wish it would. This warm lentil salad is a perfect mid-winter everything — a gorgeous pack-for-work lunch to keep you on this side of your Resolution karma, a perfect side dish to a roast, chops or sausage, and my new favorite thing to break a softly-cooked egg over. The creamy golden potatoes nestle among the perfect discs of thyme-scented lentils and the entire salad zings with finely chopped cornichon, capers and minced shallot that's been lightly pickled in red wine vinegar, and a good grassy/fruity olive oil. It lightly crunches when you take a bite.
It's secret, and what I feel is the secret of all great lentil salads, is in the lentils themselves: they're tiny. If you've thus far eaten only mushy lentil salads, I dare say you've been using the wrong ones. While the falling-apart varieties have their uses (soups, patties, stews and dals), when it comes to salad, most of the tiny varieties — and especially dark green lentils de puy, greenish-brown lenticchie, even black lentils — stay intact, maintaining their namesake lens shape even when cooked until tender. If tapioca pearls are the caviar of the pudding world, these are unquestionably the caviar of the salad universe. And if the prospect of eating caviar salad for lunch this week doesn't charm you, well,
you're probably not married to a Russian I think this one could convert you.
New thing: As promised in last week's chat, there's finally a vegan category on this site. It's only about half-populated; if you have a favorite recipe on the site that's also vegan, please holler if I've missed it. (FWIW, I tend to skip salads for this and the vegetarian category, as most just are.) [Vegan Recipes on Smitten Kitchen] [Vegetarian Recipes on Smitten Kitchen]

Warm Lentil and Potato Salad with a Garlicky Mustard Vinaigrette
Adapted from a few David Tanis recipes
If you can find tiny dark green French lentilles de Puy or Italian lenticcie Castelluccio, you'll be glad you did; they're minerally, nutty and not starchy at all — nothing like your average "for your health!" lentil mush soup. I tend to grab two bags or boxes whenever I find them, and keep them in the coolest, darkest place I can find in my steam-heated sauna of an apartment. I've also ordered the French lentils online before from here, though I actually brought these inexpensive lentils — and the capers and olive oil, used here — back from Castroni, the greatest food store in Rome, last summer.
Before you ask, Can you put kale in this too? Of course you can.
Makes 4 lunch servings, 6 servings as a side dish
2 large shallots, 1 halved, 1 finely diced,
4 sprigs of thyme
1 small bay leaf
1 cup dry small green lentils (see Note up top for varieties)
1 small bay leaf
Salt and pepper
1 pound fingerling potatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced or smashed to a paste (I use less)
1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of your favorite olive oil
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed if salted, drained if brined, and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons cornichons or other sour gherkins, roughly chopped
1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
Cook lentils: Pick over and rinse lentils. Place them in a small/medium saucepan with the halved shallot, thyme branches, bay leaf, some salt and 4 cups of water. Simmer the lentils over medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until firm-tender. Drain (discarding shallot, thyme and bay leaf) and keep warm.
Meanwhile, cook potatoes: In a separate saucepan, cover potatoes with 1 to 2 inches cold water. Set timer for 15 minutes, then bring potatoes to a simmer. When the timer rings, they should be easily pierced with a toothpick or knife. Drain and keep warm.
Make the dressing: Place the chopped shallot and red wine vinegar in the bottom of a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in minced garlic, dijon, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper and olive oil. Stir in chopped capers, cornichon and scallions.
Assemble salad: Slice potatoes into 1/2-inch segments and place in serving bowl. Add lentils, dressing and all but 1 tablespoon parsley and combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Scatter salad with remaining parsley.
Serve alone, with a soft-cooked egg on top, or as a side to a larger roast, chop or sausages. Reheat as needed. If you plan to make this at the outset of several meals and would like to eat it warm, I'd keep the dressing separate, warming only the lentils and potatoes and stirring in the cold dressing to taste.
Keeps in fridge for up to 5 days.

Afghanistan pledges to release 88 prisoners, despite US concern
Afghanistan says it will follow through with its plan to release 88 prisoners the US considers dangerous - further souring relations between the two.
Afghanistan will release 88 prisoners as planned even though the United States considers them dangerous and wants them to remain in detention, the board reviewing their cases said.
The prisoners are being held at a jail at the Bagram air base north of Kabul. The United States only recently transferred the prison to Afghan control after it had become a serious source of tension with the Afghan government.
President Hamid Karzai instructed Afghan intelligence officials to provide the review board with more evidence against the prisoners, after the United States said there was proof of their involvement in the killing of foreign troops and they posed a serious threat to security.
But the head of the review board, Abdul Shakor Dadras, said the evidence did not warrant keeping the prisoners any longer.
"The documents we have seen so far provide no reason to convict them," Dadras told Reuters by telephone late on Sunday.
"Our decision is to release them as soon as possible if there is no incriminating evidence against them."
Soured relations
The disagreement over the prisoners is a further strain on Afghan-US relations already seriously soured by Karzai's refusal to sign a bilateral security deal to shape the US military presence after most foreign troops leave this year.
US senators in Afghanistan last week pressed the president to stop the release, warning it would irreparably damage relations with the United States.
The planned release has also alarmed many senior Afghan security officials, who often see released prisoners return to the battlefield.
US officials say about 40% of the prisoners were involved in attacks in which 57 Afghan civilians and members of the Afghan security forces were killed or wounded.
Thirty percent of the prisoners had taken part in direct attacks that killed or wounded 60 members of Afghanistan's US-led Nato force.
Karzai's office did not immediately comment. – Reuters

Disease Proof
Vitamin D and the Elderly
Do you get your Vitamin D? Hopefully you do because according to Dr. Fuhrman it's a pretty important vitamin with a very vital function. He explains in the Importance of Vitamin D:
2. Heaney RP. Long-latency deficiency disease: insights from calcium and vitamin D. Am J Clin Nutr 2003;78:912-9.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body makes after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Vitamin D functions as a hormone because it sends a message to the intestines to increase the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. By promoting calcium absorption, vitamin D helps to form and maintain strong bones.Not to mention it's instrumental in the maintaining of strong healthy bones. Dr. Fuhrman talks about this further in Can Your Bones Last a Lifetime: Benefits of Vitamin D:
Medical studies show taking vitamin D is more effective than taking extra calcium for osteoporosis. In a recent 3-year prospective multi-center study, 622 women with osteoporosis, 50 to 79 years of age, who had one or more compression fractures of their spine, were randomly assigned to receive 25 mcg of calcitriol (900 IU vitamin D) or 1000 mg calcium for three years. In the third year, the vitamin D-supplemented group had 9 fractures per 100 women, and the calcium-treated group had 31.5.The difference in effect also was evident after two years.Apparently he must be on to something because new research links Vitamin D intake to physical performance levels in the elderly. Eric Nagourney of The New York Times reports:
The researchers, led by Denise K. Houston of Wake Forest University, drew on data from an Italian study in which more than 900 people 65 and older were tested for vitamin D levels and asked to perform several tasks. The researchers looked at how fast they walked, how quickly they could get out of a chair and how well they could balance.Now, it isn't just older people who need to be mindful of how much Vitamin D they're getting. Dr. Fuhrman insists everyone should make sure they're getting enough. From Vitamin D and Cancer:
By some estimates, about a quarter of elderly people do not get enough vitamin D. But it is not purely a matter of diet, the researchers said, because much of the body's vitamin D comes from exposure to sunlight. Older people may be less likely to be in the sun, said the researchers, who also pointed out that skin produces vitamin D less well as it ages.
Laboratory, animal, and epidemiologic evidence suggests that vitamin D may be protective against cancer. Epidemiologic studies suggest that a higher dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D, and/or sunlight-induced vitamin D synthesis, correlates with lower incidence of cancer, including lymphoma, breast, prostate, and colon cancer.1 In fact, for over 60 years, researchers have observed an inverse association between sun exposure and cancer mortality,2 and those with more sun exposure had fewer cancers. The inverse relationship between higher vitamin D levels in blood and lower cancer risk in humans shows a significantly lower risk among those with the highest vitamin D intake.1.

All more reasons to get outside and enjoy some of that lovely spring weather! I am firmly in the camp of avoiding any use of chemical sunscreens and respectfully using sun-power for our bodies (avoiding peak sun, big hats, not washing protective oils from our skin when exposed, etc.).

As we usher in Cinco de Mayo, stop and think about these unexpected health benefits of Tequila! Tequila is derived from the agave plant, which has been shown to lower cholesterol and even help with diabetes. The health benefits of Tequila extend beyond limes and salt!
Check out the following 5 surprising uses for Tequila:
- Aids digestion: Tequila might actually aid digestion. A shot, after a large dinner, helps digestion.
- Lowers cholesterol: Agave has been found to actually lower cholesterol.
- Cold Remedy: Mexican doctors, as early as the 1930's, used to prescribe a drink of tequila blanco, agave nectar and lime juice. Agave can help to relieve sore throats and even kill bacteria.
- Relaxation remedy: A small glass of Tequila can help you to relax and induce drowsiness before bedtime.
- Colon corrector: Blue agave has been found to soothe the colon and erase bad bacteria.
So, when life brings you limes; add a shot of Tequila!

It's *still* hard. But I just did it. Don't think too much.
Saturday, January 05, 2013
So today I tried not to think. Get up. Feed animals. Get dressed. Go run. Well, except for Hub, who says he wants to download pictures I took of him as Santa at church with the kids and of course this takes 15 minutes and then the phone is synching with the computer so I have to wait half an hour.
Sometimes it's hard to be good.
And I had to decide to postpone going to the office today to get the run in. I decided I'd feel better all day if I did it. My brother and sister-in-law are coming today, and daughter, for MIL birthday, and so I figured I'd just stay home, make some soup, and then go on later tonight for a few hours. Getting ready for semesters is hard, and getting ready for three different classes, one never taught on semesters (we were on quarters) and one brand new one is even harder.
So all this hard stuff, and maybe I'm getting tough again!
To entice myself downstairs, I told myself I probably would not do all of my scheduled run. Today it called for an HOUR. Actually, more. A 10-min. warm up run, 3.5 miles at tempo (5 on the treadmill) and then another 10 min. cool down run.
So, I started at 4.5 (after a 3 min. walk), which is a nice easy pace (snail's pace for some, but who cares). I found that I felt good at this pace and skipped the walk breaks I had scheduled every 3 minutes. So far so good. That was a nice bonus.
Then I bumped it up to 5 for the 3.5 mile part. I figured I'd do my regular 6 intervals and cut it short, maybe doing my 10 min. cool down afterward and maybe not. It was hard again. My right hip is bothering me, though not so much that I felt like quitting.
I've had that hip x-rayed and there's nothing wrong with it. Sometimes I think i get a touch of bursitis, but really I think it's just an extension of my back problem (stenosis), and I can't do anything about that, so as long as it's mild pain, I figure screw it. If I quit every time something hurt I'd weight 245 again, which is much more painful overall.
So, I do my six intervals. According to the program, I have 4 more to go. Hm. Well, heck, I can do one more if I add 30 seconds of walking time. So I run 2:30 and walk 1:30. Then there's three. Well, geez, with the extra 30 sec. of walk time, maybe I can finish all 10. And I do!
The 10-min. cool down is left. I knock it back to 4.5. I didn't run all 10 minutes, but kept on me 3/1 split and finished it. Then I walked for 5 more minutes just to cool down and get to the five-mile mark.
Whew! I didn't think I had it in me. I really didn't. And so that's 3 days of running this week, on schedule. Woot!
Half the battle is mental. I'm tired. I worked hard all day. I have too much to do. Getting up and doing it is a monumental struggle some days.
It made me feel better to see a lot of people blogging lately about getting on track. Even the Slowest Loser guy said he'd put on a few pounds and was starting on a new even slower weight loss plan.
Sometimes I think we try to take on too much too fast and don't give ourselves credit for what we *are* doing. I didn't eat as well as I should have this week. But I ate less. For awhile there I was slipping into eating whenever I was hungry. Now, this was not as bad as I used to be, when I'd look forward to eating after a few hours whether I was hungry or not. But I was still doing that sweet/salty kick I can get on, and then I don't want to stop when I've had enough.
So, at least I waited until I was hungry. I need to do better about stopping again. I'm not binging, but I'm eating extra helpings of things that I do not need. BUT, I'm doing better this week. Next week I will do even better.
I've signed up for four gym classes plus working out. I'm going to run 3 days. I may not push myself as hard as I was for awhile, but I'm going to MOVE SOMETHING.
And not think about it. Just do it.

You make me feel lazy! Don't worry, it's a good thing - you help motivate me and you lessen my guilt at the same time.
I did week 3 of "5k your way" last week, then didn't run for 3 days (walked on 1 of them) and today I'm going to run day 1 of week 4.

I didn't run yesterday or today. :( But I made my other goals of tracking my food, getting enough sleep, doing meditation. Tomorrow I will run because the Hubster will make sure of it!
Like you, I take comfort knowing that others are trying mightily to get back to where they were over the summer. But we are doing it and that is the difference from other times, right? We are doing what we can and pushing just a little harder.
We'll be amazing ourselves in no time. You'll see.

I play those mental games with myself all the time. I'm constantly amazed by how much more I can do if I give myself permission to stop.
Congrats. On the run and on you're continued quest to balance it all.

Whitney Houston is the most-awarded female artist of all time, having won Emmys, GRAMMYs, American Music Awards and many more, totaling 415 career awards. And, of course, she's one of the best-selling artists of all time, moving over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.
Even in a career as illustrious as Houston's, there are definitive moments that stand out. From her iconic performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at 1991's Super Bowl to her appearance in the mega-selling movie (and soundtrack) for The Bodyguard. Here are our five favorites.
5. Houston's 1983 TV Debut on The Merv Griffin Show
Described as "elegant and sensuous" by the flattering host, the then unknown 19-year-old singer delivered a jaw-dropping rendition of "Home," an emotional ballad from the 1975 Broadway musical The Wiz, originally made famous by Stephanie Mills in the musical and then Diana Ross in the 1978 film version. Whitney wouldn't release her official debut single or self-titled debut album until two years later in 1985.
4. "Saving All My Love For You" at The 1986 GRAMMYs
Houston's cover of singer Marilyn McCoo's 1978 hit was the singer's second single from her eponymous debut album and earned her the first of six GRAMMY Awards (for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) and an American Music Award for Favorite R&B/Soul Video. Her performance of the ballad at the 1986 GRAMMYs—equal parts sultry chanteuse and jazzy lounge-chic—won her an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program.
3. "I Will Always Love You" at the 1994 World Music Awards
It's weird to think that Houston and Bodyguard co-star Kevin Costner had to fight to keep the 45-second a capella intro to "I Will Always Love You," which has become one of the song's most enduring and memorable features. The track, alongside other Houston hits like "I'm Every Woman" and "I Have Nothing," helped make The Bodyguard the most successful soundtrack in music history, selling more than 40 million copies worldwide. In 1994 Whitney was invited to sing the monster hit at the World Music Awards and absolutley killed it!
2. "One Moment in Time" at The 1989 GRAMMYs
Co-written by Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr.'s father, "One Moment in Time" became the temporary new National Anthem when Houston recorded it for the 1988 Summer Olympics. While it never hit number one, the song became indelibly linked to the games and remains one of Houston's most timeless recordings. Houston performed a rousing rendition the song at the 31st Annual GRAMMY Awards, receiving an immediate standing ovation.
1. "The Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV
At the peak of her career in 1991, at just 28 years old, Whitney took center stage at the Super Bowl in Tampa and delivered a performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that, in many ways, summed up her career at that point: She was America's girl; a beautiful goody-goody with pipes of gold and a smile to die for. She hit the high notes with a powerful grace in what's truly a spine-tingling moment. The New York Giants beat the Buffalo Bills by one point (20-19) that year. But in our book, it was Houston that won.

Now we've officially and effectively left winter behind, the 'nasty weather' excuse to stay inside should also be less effective. Let's take a look at our options.
Monday night offers up one of the premier nights of the Jazz at the Sheraton 2010-11 season when bassist Christian McBride hits town with his group, Inside Straight.
McBride, 38, is one of a precious few truly innovative purveyors of modern jazz on the scene along with his top-flight band. The bassist, along with a pianist, sax player, drums and vibes will play Salt Lake in support of the group's 2009 release, "Kind of Brown."
Despite his rather young age, the Philadelphia native is widely considered one of the genre's most important bassists. Form your own opinion Monday night at the Sheraton during what should be one of the best nights of the year in SLC for jazz. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets remain on sale and start at $25 plus fees at 24tix.com.
Here's predicting there are a ton of women in their late 30s and early 40s who either call in sick or wish they had on Wednesday morning. Why? Because '80s hair-metal king and perennial heartthrob Jon Bon Jovi plays EnergySolutions Arena on Tuesday night. While I've always had a soft place in my heart for their older rockers including "You Give Love A Bad Name," and "Runaway," some of Bon Jovi's schmaltzier stuff like "Livin' On A Prayer," and "I'll Be There For You" leave me quite cold.
But like everyone else, I can't argue with their success.
They've been top-selling concert draws since Ronald Reagan's second term and show no signs of faltering. Regardless of what you think about their music, they've sold millions of records, have devout fans and are about as far from playing the state-fair circuit as anyone who came to fame in 1983 can be. Tickets start at $16.50 and remain on sale at smithstix.com.
Also this week, indie-rockers Menomena play Kilby Court on Tuesday, while The Depot brings '80s stars O.M.D. into town on Wednesday.
Hippie favorites Railroad Earth along with Infamous Stringdusters will be at Park City's Harry O's on Wednesday night. RRE writes some good songs and have wonderfully skilled instrumentalists in violinist Tim Carbone and mandolin player John Skehan. And don't forget you can catch the Stringdusters on Tuesday at The State Room.

I've been getting a lot of questions about the documentation for Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center recently. A lot of it has changed for the 12c version; there's new content and old content in new places, and it's a lot of information to take in.
Given that, I thought I'd resurrect this blog and talk about how the documentation can help you use the product. I'll answer questions from the blog and from other users, point out How To guides and other docs that will help you better use the product, and let you know when there's an update and what's in it.

Asian Noodle Soup with Tatsoi
8 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
2 whole bone-in chicken breasts
1 pound bok choy, chopped
1/4 pound vietnamese rice noodles, 1/2-inch-wide (bahn pho)
3 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
4 ounces baby tatsoi, chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Sriracha sauce, or Asian hot sauce of your choice
In a medium stockpot, bring chicken stock to a simmer over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, 1/4 cup each of the cilantro and mint leaves, and chicken. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from stock; allow to cool. Tear each breast into bite-size pieces and throw out bones. Strain broth to remove garlic and ginger pieces and return it to the pot. Add bok choy and simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
Soak noodles in hot water until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Cook noodles in boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water.
Divide noodles among six bowls. Add chicken pieces, scallions, mint, cilantro, tatsoi and soy sauce. Pour hot broth with bok choy over top. Top with hot sauce to taste, if desired.

Tick tick ... boom? We say, Let the sequester happen
The American public has been in some state of panic ever since Lehman Brothers announced it was on the verge of collapse in September 2008. With its more than $600 million in assets, America was faced with the biggest bankruptcy filing in history, and if Lehman Bros. failed, we were told it would have been crippling to our country, toppling over investments and depleting retirement funds. Shortly thereafter, America was faced with many of its major banks, mortgage lenders and automakers in severe financial crisis. In order to avoid major job loss and investments losing much, if not all, of their value, the federal government stepped in with billions of dollars of taxpayers' money and opted for rescue over demise. This fiscal insecurity sent shock waves across America, and soon after major corporations and local and state agencies conducted mass layoffs and furloughs. In an effort to stave off even more job loss, the federal government infused the country with hundreds of billions of dollars to create jobs on infrastructure projects as well as with the cultivation of innovative technologies. The outcome four years later: slow but steady economic revival, stability and job growth, which is clearly better than collapse. Though bailouts came with a large price tag, they resulted in a healthier economic situation. But that large price tag is among the top reasons many say the U.S. is around $17 trillion in debt and blame the federal government for getting us into this mess.
In 2011, when Congress came to a stalemate over the budget, there were talks about a government shutdown, which would have resulted in numerous layoffs and major reductions in federal government programs and services. But just as in 2008 and 2009, lawmakers decided that instead of enabling such a disaster, they would negotiate a budget deal to keep America functioning as usual. In late 2012, again, Congress was faced with another dreadful predicament with the "fiscal cliff" that would have reinstated higher taxes on the middle class. In order to keep more money in the pockets of not only the middle class but also the rich, legislators reached a deal that extended the tax cuts. With the 2011 and 2012 crises, both resulted in few spending cuts or new revenue streams. With little change either way, the national debt has practically become insurmountable. While much of the debt accrued well before the Obama Administration, President Barack Obama hasn't been presented with fair deals. Nor, apparently, has he offered any palatable deals to a conservative House. So we are right where we started — the national debt continues to grow and taxpayers blame the federal government for racking it up with what so many think produced little tangible result in bettering our country.
With the sequester only a day away (March 1), we say, "Let it happen." At this point in the game, no matter what good the federal government tries to do, no matter what bad it tries to avoid, no matter the reasons or excuses for our national debt, few Americans seem to understand what the repercussions would have been if the federal government had not stepped in. Due to the incessant blame game and lack of understanding about what the federal government has done, we hope our lawmakers do nothing. We want the public to see and feel what the consequences of inaction are. In fact, we are somewhat eager to see for ourselves if inaction is actually better, and may be better for the future. It's truly a risky bet — this idea of small government, but we are willing to take it.
It will take at least another month before the public actually notices anything different but we are fairly certain that the initial sting won't be as bad as the long-term effects of inaction. Over time, more than $500 billion will be cut from the Department of Defense and other national security agencies. Tens of billions will be cut from national parks, federal courts, the FBI, the FDA and housing aid. The result — well, one can only imagine, but since lawmakers and the media have only talked about how bad things could be rather than actually letting them happen, the American public has no idea what it's in for. Since we have been living outside of our means for so long, let's go with the punches and see how long we can stand it. Our guess — it won't be long before America jumps to action and asks why the federal government did nothing to prevent such a nightmare from happening.
Time will tell if legislators actually adhere to the sequester by the end of April. We think they will intervene with some sort of deal that will appease many, but they will still be blamed when nothing has been done to bring down the national debt. Whatever comes of this, however, we hope Americans learn the value of the federal government, whether it is worth a little or a lot. We are not looking forward to any of these detrimental blows, but in this blame game and apparent crying-wolf situation, we want to feel the sting to create some real change and ensure real compromise while avoiding a drastic calamity.

When things fall apart, conservatives will claim that it's proof government doesn't work. Ironic.
Many of the things that will be cut will be dangerous for our wellbeing. This does not seem like a good time for this experiment.
"Cassandra2," thanks for posting sans spelling errors. (Momma always told me to begin a critique with a compliment...although I MUST point out that "well-being" is usually and/or properly hyphenated.)
Now, on to your treatise: "...WHEN [!] things fall apart?" Hmm, can you say, "the sky's falling, the sky's falling" 5 times fast after taking a bong load?
Didn't think so.
But I DO know that after you fail to do so, it will be STILL be the "...conservatives" fault.
P.S. Sequestration is not an "...experiment." It was MANDATED by your poster boy, Barack "Che" Obama.
