Real estate has its market cycles like any type of investment, and lately it's been getting bad press. Investors may have second thoughts about putting money in this asset class right now, what with all the talk about a bursting housing bubble, the glut of unsold condominiums and homes, declining property values and the growing number of foreclosures.
But there's still a buck to be made in real estate,
even in good and bad economic times. Everybody has to live somewhere, work somewhere,
shop somewhere -- and someone has to provide them with space in which to do those
In fact, the depressing news may mean that this is
an opportune time to get into real estate.
"Owning some
paid-for, income-producing real estate, in addition to having a solid portfolio
of other investments, can be a very good thing," says radio talk-show host
Dave Ramsey, best-selling author of "The Total Money Makeover."
investors willing to invest for the long term, owning properties "can be
a path to financial freedom for many," says Ramsey, adding that it has to
be done right. "It's a horrible investment when done wrong."
homes vs. multi-family units Single-family homes make good first
properties because they don't entail the same hassles and headaches associated
with multi-unit apartment buildings.
"Single-family homes,
which can be easily turned into rentals, are also much more affordable than, say,
multi-family units such as duplexes, triplexes, and so on," says Robert Sheehan,
consulting economist for the National Apartment Association.
sellers are now also more realistic with pricing, so the current housing market
offers a lot more choices for buyers, who can get better values for their money,
says Thomas M. Stevens, president of the National Association of Realtors.
are also offering lucrative incentives,
thanks to the greater competition for buyers," Stevens says. "Buyers
today can often have the seller pay for things like closing costs, remodeling
expenses, condo fees, etc., so buyers can look forward to not only lower prices
but also lower expenses and costs associated with the purchase of a property."
course this doesn't mean you shouldn't consider buying a rental property that
can be both your home and an investment property.
"A properly
purchased duplex or triplex can also be a really good way to get started,"
says Ramsey. "You can almost live there for free in many cases. The biggest
downside, however, is that ... there's not going to be as much of a retail market
for that type of a property as there is for the single-family house with the cute
little 'Leave It To Beaver' picket fence around it."
then, of course, there's the issue of having your tenants living just on the other
side of the wall.

The City of San Bernardino is one of the poorest cities in the nation, not only that but there has been a lack of young, motivational leaders who want to change the community back around. However, this year there have been more dynamic young adults who are in the verge to take their city back, and one of them is Chelsea Davis.
Davis grew up in San Bernardino went away to obtain her Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia. Upon graduation in May 2013, she was one of the many graduates who decided to come back home, but she came back home with a purpose which makes her stand out from the rest.
She is currently attending the University of Southern California (USC) pursuing a Master's in Social Work. In addition, she has been selected to represent the City of San Bernardino in the upcoming Miss California USA State Pageant on January 11, 2015 in Long Beach, California.
"I would like to introduce myself to you as a community leader and give you some insight on who I am and why I should be invested in as a contestant," she states.
She continues:
"I aim to be the change in my community, and an example for our youth. I am currently working to implement a mentorship and community development program called Limitless Heights under Applied Principles for Service Non-Profit Organization in the city of San Bernardino. My objective in creating this program is to bring fourth positive change in the community through creative expression, socio-cultural development, community service and professionalism."
The reason why the CAU alum decided to compete in the competition is because of what Miss California USA represents. The organization was created to support and advance today's women who have proven to be "saavy, goal-orientated and aware." It also provides a foundation and network for humanistic individuals to grow in their purpose for change.
Davis' overall contributions would give her the opportunity to win not only this years title of Miss California USA 2015, but also a scholarship, a years contract with LA Models and several other awards. For more information on her campaign, please visit her website at journey2thecrown.wix.com/chelsead or www.gofundme.com/Chelseadmisscali.

Professional tape delay units are great fun, but often expensive. You'd think that with so many derelict cassette decks filling the world's dumpsters someone must have figured out a way to make a cheap tape delay… not only in the interest of saving money (sometimes quality is worth paying for) but also in the interest of re-using otherwise wasted resources.
Forosdeelectronica forum user [Dano] has made just such a device from used cassette decks and miscellaneous parts (translated). First he investigated the operation of the playback, erase, and record mechanisms and broke out the tape heads. The playback head is on a plastic rail so that the delay time can be changed, while the record head is fixed. [Dano] encountered some difficulties in ensuring good quality for the recording and erasure, which is an important consideration when working with magnetic tape.

Orson Welles is remembered today as both a director and a leading man, and some of his most memorable films feature the star on both sides of the camera. Even casual movie fans recognize Welles as the director and star of "Citizen Kane" (1941), one of the most critically acclaimed motion pictures ever made, but Welles was much more than a one hit wonder. Here are ten movies where you can see Orson Welles in action and appreciate his incredible screen presence as well as his directorial talent.
1) "Citizen Kane" (1941) - Welles' tale of the rise and fall of a newspaper mogul made him famous as both a director and star but also angered William Randolph Hearst, the real-life media tycoon. The movie earned nine Oscar nominations but won only for Best Screenplay. Today, however, it sits near the top of most lists of the greatest movies ever made.
2) "Jane Eyre" (1943) - Robert Stevenson directs this adaptation of the classic novel, which stars Welles as the taciturn Mr. Rochester opposite Joan Fontaine as Jane. Welles certainly has the smoldering look of bad temper needed for the role, although Fontaine makes a very different Jane from the one imagined in the novel.
3) "The Stranger" (1946) - Welles directs himself, Loretta Young, and Edward G. Robinson in this post-war film noir, in which an unsuspecting young woman takes a disguised Nazi mastermind for her husband. Welles seems to relish the duplicitous villain's role, a type to which he would return several times in his career.
4) "The Lady from Shanghai" (1947) - Welles directs himself and his then-wife, Rita Hayworth, in this noir thriller, which uses the toxic relationship between the two stars to terrific effect onscreen. Welles might not have the most convincing Irish accent as Michael O'Hara, but he directs a riveting tale of murder, madness, and betrayal.
5) "Macbeth" (1948) - Welles directs himself in the title role in this Shakespearean adaptation, which stars Jeanette Nolan as Macbeth's murderous lady. Welles had plenty of experience with the stage thanks to his work with the Mercury Theatre company, but his creative take on the Scottish play was not a screen success at its debut. Watch closely to see Welles' daughter, Christopher, as Macduff's child.
6) "The Third Man" (1949) - Welles plays the enigmatic Harry Lime in Carol Reed's brilliant British noir, set amidst the ruins of Vienna after World War II. In keeping with his character's mysterious nature, Welles doesn't actually appear in the movie until quite late, but he makes an indelible impression when he does finally turn up, framed by shadows in a darkened doorway. The chase sequence at the end is a delirious masterpiece of action and hysteria.
7) "Prince of Foxes" (1949) - In Henry King's period adventure, Welles dons the villain's mask once more, this time playing the murderous duke Cesare Borgia. Tyrone Power stars as the movie's hero, and Wanda Hendrix plays the heroine.
8) "Othello" (1952) - Welles returns to Shakespeare to direct himself as the tragic Moor. This time Welles enjoyed greater critical success than he had with "Macbeth," and "Othello" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, although it was not released in the United States until 1955.
9) "Touch of Evil" (1958) - Sometimes hailed as "the greatest B movie ever made," Welles' film noir story of crime on the border features brilliant camera work and a fascinating performance by Welles himself, disguised under makeup and padding as the grotesque Hank Quinlan. Charlton Heston and Janet Leigh play the primary victims of Quinlan's corruption, but Marlene Dietrich is riveting in a small, pivotal role.
10) "The Muppet Movie" (1979) - After the seriousness of so much of his early career, Welles found himself playing many strange parts late in his life, but it's fun to see him as the bearer of "standard rich and famous contracts" in the original Muppet movie. Welles' character, Lew Lord, is based on Lew Grade, who was the executive producer of the movie.
For even more films starring Orson Welles, see "The Black Rose" (1950), "Mr. Arkadin" (1955), and "The Long, Hot Summer" (1958). You can learn more about Orson Welles by watching the video at the top of this article.

Claytor Lake - Facilities
Claytor Lake State Park, located on the north side of the lake, provides 497 acres of park with camping, cabins, picnic areas, and a swimming beach, as well as a marina. For more information on the park, call (540) 643-2500.
Boat access to the lake is available for a small fee at private ramps at Claytor Lake State Park, Lighthouse Bridge, and at Conrad Brothers and Rockhouse Marinas on the Peak Creek arm of the lake. The Department maintains no-fee ramps at Allisonia (in the upper lake area) and near the entrance to the state park (Dublin Ramp). Harry's Point boat ramp, a no-fee ramp located in the mid-lake area within Pulaski County's Harry DeHaven Park, has a double ramp and courtesy piers. Harry's Point also has a handicapped-accessible fishing pier, where many of the lake's species can be caught throughout the year. During the fall and winter months, anglers are likely to catch striped bass and hybrid striped bass swimming near the pier.
The easiest way to get to Harry's Point from I-81 is to take the Route 605 exit (near the south end of Radford), and then follow the brown trailblazer signs to Harry DeHaven Park. From the I-81 exit ramp, take Route 605 (Little River Dam Road). Follow Route 605 until you reach Route 663 (Owens Road), go right on 663, then look for signs marking the park when you get near the lake.

5 Small Bathrooms with a Lot to Say
From Engineering on February 23, 2010 in Bathroom Remodel
Ever listened to your bathroom? What's it saying? If it's screaming, "I'm small and cluttered!", there are several things you can do to calm it down, open it up and make it a happy, homey space. These 5 small bathrooms have got it all figured out:
#1 - Floating Vanity
A floating vanity can give the illusion of space while creating more countertop surface area. The idea is to select the wall where the vanity would normally go, but rather than tucking it into the corner, install it closer to the center and top it with a counter wider than the cabinet. The open space under the countertop gives a more spacious feel and can also be a great nesting place for your trash, hamper or towel rack.
#2 - Through the Looking Glass
Glass and mirrors are often used in stores and restaurants to make the interiors look bigger. The same can be applied to your bathroom. By replacing your small medicine cabinet with a larger, mirrored-front version, you can increase your storage space and make the room look so much bigger.
Another alternative is to hang a large mirror on one of the walls. You can also replace your shower curtain with a glass enclosure. This allows the eye to see continuously from one end to the other rather than cutting off your view at the tubs edge.
#3 - Under-Cabinet Storage
When it comes to bathroom linens, towels and washcloths, we tend to look to the walls for storage. This can take up precious visual space, whereas placing the towel racks elsewhere leaves your walls open and uncluttered. The best location is under the vanity top. Remember that floating vanity? Install the towel racks on the open side of the cabinet, or place a standing towel rack below and you can keep that precious space to yourself.
#4 - Color of Money
One of the simplest things you can do to increase the visual space in your bathroom is also one of the cheapest: painting. By adding bright, vibrant colors, the room will feel more spacious, but also more cheerful. Dark and dank feels small; bright and happy feels big. Naturally, white is the suggested color of spaciousness, but if it feels too sterile for you, try adding some paneling and molding to the bottom half of your bathroom walls and painting those white instead. It will add a touch of character, too.
#5 - Cabin Fever
It may seem counterproductive to add more cabinets to your already small bathroom, but it can actually make the room appear larger. The more cabinetry you add, the less clutter youll have out in the open. Focus on open spaces and clean lines. A countertop or other area thats busy with belongings is a visual eyesore. Get them neatly tucked away into an extra cabinet and the eye is free to wander through the rest of the space.

College Hockey:UMass Tops UMass-Lowell
Jarmen Scores Two in Big Intrastate Victory
LOWELL, Mass. — Third-line left wing Kevin Jarman scored two goals, and four other Minutemen scored as Massachusetts defeated UMass Lowell, 6-3, at the Tsongas Arena.
The Minutemen broke open a tight game late in the third period, coming back from a 3-2 deficit and scoring four unanswered goals to pull away.
It looked as if the River Hawks just might break their current winless streak, as freshman Ben Holmstrom scored his second goal of the game and third of the season at 4:45 of the final period on the power play. But Jarman got his second tally of the night to tie things up at 3-3 at 11:44, and Massachusetts never looked back.
With the win, Massachusetts has now won four of its last five games to improve to 12-8-3 overall, 9-6-1 in Hockey East. By virtue of Maine's shocking 6-1 loss at home to Northeastern, the Minutemen now have sole possession of fifth place in the Hockey East standings.
What has been a tough road this season just got tougher for UMass Lowell, as they dropped their seventh game in a row. The River Hawks have now gone winless in their last 18 games (0-16-2) to fall to 3-18-5 (2-13-2 Hockey East).
"Another tough game for us in this building," said Massachusetts coach Don Cahoon. "It's always a struggle in here. It wasn't very pretty, but what matters is the final result."
While the Minutemen have been one of the best teams in the country at home this season, posting a 9-1-1 record so far at the Mullins Center, they have not fared nearly as well on the road. The win Friday was the team's first on the road since besting Providence on November 4th.
"It's been a point of emphasis for us. Getting two points on the road like we did tonightits good to get back on track away from home," said Cahoon.
UMass Lowell had a tough time early on, as Massachusetts effectively bottled up the River Hawks at center ice. Lowell didn't register a shot until the 6:20 mark of the first period.
The Minutemen, meanwhile, were on their way to pouring 10 shots on Lowell freshman net minder Nevin Hamilton, and at 13:36, senior Mark Matheson got his eighth of the year, as he crashed the Lowell net with several players going in with him. The net came off, but the red light came on, and despite a long chat with the referee, UMass Lowell coach Blaise MacDonald was not going to win that argument.
"We played well in spurts, and were almost on the verge of taking control of the game," said MacDonald.
"We don't give ourselves enough breathing room by scoring goals. We need the upperclassmen to step up. We have some guys who haven't scored in weeks."
Indeed, it was the freshmen class that recorded all seven points on the night for the River Hawks.
Holmstrom got his first of the night for Lowell of a weird hop, as the puck popped up in the air after a scrum in back of Massachusetts goaltender Jon Quick and trickled past to tie the score at 1-1.
Lowell took the lead later in the period when Jeremy Dehner scored his second of the season off a pretty pass from Paul Worthington, to the delight of the Lowell faithful.
But Jarman got his first of the night on a bang-bang shot from the slot that eluded Hamilton. The teams went to the dressing rooms tied at 2-2.
Lowell got the break they had been waiting for at the beginning of the third period, as Martin Nolet of the Minutemen was sent off for a 5-minute major for boarding, and a 10-minute misconduct.
Lowell took the lead 3-2 on the power play when Holmstrom scored his second of the night at 4:45, and it looked as though Lowell might get its first win since beating Merrimack, 5-0, on November 4.
That would be all that Lowell would get on the 5-minute power play, however.
"The fact that we didn't break the game open with that five minute power play I think was the turning point," said MacDonald.
But Jarman scored his second goal of the game to tie it at 3-3 midway through the game, and later Lowell took an ill-advised elbowing penalty, setting up senior Chris Capraro's game-winning goal.
Alex Berry followed up less than two minutes later, and Captain Mike Kostka finished things off with an empty net goal.
Massachusetts and UMass Lowell get back on the ice Saturday, with the Minutemen hosting Boston University, and UMass Lowell traveling to play at Boston College. Both contests are 7 p.m.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fantastic fun despite the weatherIn full: My 4th time running this event and I still enjoy it as much as the first year. It consisted of 11 miles of mud, 2 miles of fields, 2 miles of roads with steep hills, 3 stiles to climb over and 4 bike chicanes to negotiate making it a truly special and original race.The whole event is a credit to Wadhurst Runners and Nicework Events who together make the event run like clockwork. The after race cakes, drinks and even beer for those so inclined, is a welcome treat. Date of review: July 7, 2015
In short: Great for that Spring MarathonIn full: Incredibly well organised event, with friendly and supportive marshals all the way around. It is a challenging route around the local lanes, with a lot of undulations, great pre marathon race.Plenty of water stations, though not as much local support as in previous years, possibly due to the inclement weather.Always a great spring race, which fills up year after year.Date of review: March 23, 2014
In short: Fun, friendly and well organisedIn full: It's the 5th time I have done the Spitfire, and the 3rd in the Spring, as there used to be an Autumn one too. Lovely course, some gradual hills, and a couple of short, sharp little ones too.Three water stations each loop, plus one at the half way point for the 20 milers with gels and jelly babies available.Great finishing touch is being greeted by the Race Director at the finish line. The personal touch counts for so much, as does the finish line mars bar! I'll keep doing this race as it is so enjoyable.Date of review: March 18, 2014
In short: Scenic course with a few lumpsIn full: First time I've done this race but it won't be the last. Nice scenic route. We were warned at the start about the pot holes in the road surface, which were quite large in places due to all the bad weather. Plenty of marshals along the route, which had 2 hills on each of the laps, so 6 in total. Slick organisation, nice location for HQ, with plenty of on site car parking - always a bonus. The only down side was the mile 17 drinks station running out of water just as I got there. It won't stop me doing the race again though.Date of review: March 9, 2014
In short: Hilly but scenicIn full: Great race, lots of hills but noticeable downs as well as the ups. Wonderful organisation by Becca and her team, made all the better by the 'love heart' sweets in the goody bag at the end. Nice long sleeve running top to take away. Highly recommend this race to others as a pre spring marathon warm up.Date of review: February 19, 2014
In short: Spot on organisationIn full: The sun shone, the wind blew, but it didn't rain! First time I have run this event and it was a good starting point for the season. Great organisation, parking close by, good venue with nice refreshments.Course had a few gradual inclines and declines, but nothing to get worried about, great scenary, and wonderful marshals.Date of review: February 4, 2014
In short: Glorious sun run on the sea frontIn full: Having particpated in this race last year when the weather was wet and windy, this years race in the sun was bliss. The event organisation was excellent with cheerful organisers and friendly marshalls. The course is predominantly flat and therefore fast with lots of encouragement from pedestrians and dog walkers (just mind the extendable dog leads). I really enjoyed this race and will hopefully be back again next year.Date of review: April 7, 2013
In short: Excellent organsation and ideal running routeIn full: The pre event information,on the day organisation and event management were excellent. Number pick up, baggage drop off, car park signage were all well organied, and although a slightly narrow start with a sharp turn, there was enough space for everyone to spread out. The marshalls were excellent, very encouraging, despite the cold chill and the odd snow flurry. Great 20 mile course, no repeat loops and great for setting PB's. other runners were really friendly.The goody bag and t-shirt were a nice gesture.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Excellent organsation and ideal running conditionsIn full: A very enjoyable event, excellently organised and an attractive course. I'd previously run it twice in the autumn (when they still did an autumn version) and got very cold and wet both times. It was a treat to run in dry conditions which were ideal for the distance. Starting on the airfield means there is plenty of space though by the second lap it felt as though we were never going to escape into the countryside. Thanks to all the wonderful and encouraging marshals for turning out on a cold day. As mentioned already, it was very nice to get a handshake from the race director as we crossed the line.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Great race, efficiently organisedIn full: Excellent site management with good signposting & indoor facilities. Plenty of local car parking.Marshals were incredibly supportive. Water stations ideally spaced apart. Chip management at start & finish was well organised. Excellent goody bag, well thought out including a bottle of Adnams beer.A generous range of prize categories with trophies to third place in each category.Wish the organisers could manage the weather as well as they manage the event!Well done BBDRCDate of review: November 4, 2012

The designers at Paris Menswear a/w '12 fashion week put their unique stamp on the dominating trends already seen in Milan. From leather accents to outlandish reinterpretations of classic styles, the Paris collections were unabashed and at their best.
Statement leather and leather details were seen everywhere. YSL featured the material in lapels, turtlenecks and even shoulders, which were patched in soft black leather. Dark skin treated sleeves melted into Alexander McQueen's zip-up wool bomber jacket, while Acne featured malleable leather shirts and Phillip Lim chose dense and heavy leather for his hip-length vest and jumper. Unexpected texture made its way in via quilting techniques in Christian Dior's olive brown parka and Balmain's skinny leather trousers with quilted knee patches, which were paired with strong blue pea-coats.
Designers also delivered exceptional interpretations of the gentleman's suit, which went beyond classic ideals. Sarah Burton's double-breasted three-piece suit in crisp white pinstripes was a success, as was the shorts suit presented at Raf Simons. Jean Paul Gaultier took a deconstruction approach, layering jacket vests over cummerbunds, collars and lapels. Influenced by Marine suits, Thierry Mugler's Nicola Formachetti focused on tailoring and construction by minimizing (or removing) details such as pockets and lapels. Military nuances were also seen at Hermes, where sophisticated charcoal suits resembled uniforms and were accompanied by belted coats in leather and exotic skins.
As always, Paris also upheld its reputation for breaking and making trends. Thom Browne's sinister collection of punks versus jocks introduced exaggerated quarterback shoulders, devilish spiked masks and schnauzer prints. Lanvin's eye-catching jailhouse looks featured high-waist trousers, puffed jumpers and wide navy stripes cut across orange coats, blazers and pleated pants. Yohji Yamamoto's real life models donned pauper ensembles (layers of oversized red silk, wide wool suits and padded overcoats with blanket scarves). Rei Kawakuba presented an androgynous libertarian collection for Comme des Garçons that was filled with tailored coats in polka-dot and floral prints. Henrik Vibsgov's affluent hippy collection included mature deep v-neck cardigans in printed knits and slouching trousers with tapered ankles and zip decals. And Junya Wantanabe's a/w '12 collection, entitled "Work," was by far the most relaxed with country inspired flannel shirts and colorful suspenders holding up heavy dark denim.

While Fashion Rio sprouted fresh roots in ownership and location this season, the strong collections that came down the runway for spring/summer '10 played their part to support the recent explosion of fashion related investments in Brazil. To inaugurate the change of management and new identity, creative director Paulo Borges appropriately transplanted the event from Marina de Gloria to Pier Mauá, a stunning sprawl of warehouses on Guanabara Bay.
Given the seasonal outlook, the collections showed swimsuits in full force. Salinas featured soft pastel floral prints with lovely bow accents, while Luiza Bonadiman showed geometric cut-outs on experimental body suits and Lenny was all about chic body con looks. The bikinis seemed even smaller than usual this season what with all the aggressive slashing, tying and folding, but the tropical prints and tangy colors helped to soften the overall feel.
Victor Dzenk's chic sensations—maritime prints, sweeping silk robes and slinky party dresses—were inspired by the south of France and other far-flung destinations. "This collection represents the spirit of travel and celebration," he gushed after the show, adding: "My DNA is more and more clothing for the beach." When Dzenk hits the right notes, as he did this season, it's truly thrilling to see all the loyal support from celebrities and local followers.
At Maria Bonita Extra, Mallu Magalhães injected a hot spark of energy for the Marc by Marc Jacobs and Isabel Marant set. The collection included tons of purple and tangerine separates as well as one group with a mushroom print that particularly stood out. Circular prints reigned, meanwhile, at the less established but widely regarded Alessa. And at the ever improving Apoena, designer Katia Ferreira showed embroidery on top of stripes and polka dots paired with easy printed t-shirts inspired by the "curves and straight lines" in Brasilia. This collection read less like an NGO project and more like a cute emerging line for the twenty/thirty-something set. Lots of embroidery was also seen in Santa Ephigênia's bohemian themed collection—most notably, clusters of circular paillettes and oversized polka dots.
In one of its most creative shows to date, Coven applied masterful knitting techniques to flirty dresses in the finest yarns, playing with a soft/heavy idea where chunky open hole cardigans in red and burnt orange anchored lightly ruffled and knitted swingy dresses. By contrast, Redley looked especially smooth. The easy t-shirts and low-slung shorts for men were propped up by tiered summer dresses with bold color accents and prints, as well as treated denim for women.
One of the most promising categories to show was the market for contemporary casuals, perpetuated by brands such as Cantao, which pumps out massive collections to service the niche. Cantao's looks were more tribal, but picked up on the season's trend for carrot trousers paired with cut-off shirts, body skiming dresses and gladiator sandals.
This genre for casual wear looked more solid than ever, but Rio really knows how to do glamour as well. Printing is on our top ten list of brands to watch in the world, turning out a kind of show-stopping chic that's razor sharp. Walter Rodrigues, who's prone toward avant-garde glam, is seeking business this season in tailored pants, t-shirts and diaphanous tops. Graça Ottoni, meanwhile, went for jewel toned knee- and floor-length bias cut satin with some sleeves fashioned out of organza to bring in unexpected yet controlled volume.
The collections are only one sign that Brazil is edging its way to first world status. One tidbit of intelligence we uncovered on our trip is that Petrobas, the petroleum behemoth, has located a massive oil reserve that'll take seven years to reach in the earth's core but when that time comes, the find is so vast that it may instantly propel Brazil's international identity. The s/s '10 collections showed that when this time comes, there will be loads of fabulous brands to choose from.

Dina had a very eventful day , first just minutes after she teleported to the Justice league satellite , to take her place at the monitor duty , she had to mount a defence against some alien pirates who attacked the satellite to blunder it , not knowing who was in it
Then she had to answer a call to fight the legion of doom , cheeta was going for her as always
finally she was able to return to her apartment
she needed to shower and rest
entering her apartment , she put some soup to cook , then went to shower
she exited and poured some soup in a cup , and sat in front of the TV
watching the news , she saw report on the Justice league fight with legion of doom
taking another sip of her cup , she feel a breeze , she place the cup down and stand and turn to the window , strange its open , she didn't open it ,before she walk to close it someone stand in it
"CATWOMAN" shouts Diana while taking a fighting stance
Catwoman climbed down from the window , she wagged her finger in the direction of wonder woman
"tsk tsk tsk , is that a way to treat a guest in your apartment , by the way, nice soup you made , but i had to add something small to it"
Wonder Woman had a feeling the soup was changed a bit, she felt dizzy and fell over unconscious
Catwoman walked over to Diana body and carried her
"I was told it would make them taste better , knock you out good "
and laughs while moving Wonder woman to her car hidden in the alley , and drive her to her hideout
Wonder Woman woke up later , she opened her eye , her vision was hazy , she felt naked but also felt something on her body
Latex ! she was covered in only latex
she start to feel her body with her hand , it felt strange , she raise her hand , and its paws !
what has happened to her
she then hear heels clicking , she look up and see Catwoman
she tries to shout at her
but all came out of her mouth was cat screech
Diana was shocked of what just happened
Catwoman laughs and pat wonder woman head
"Oh is my kitty angry , be good and i'll even give you a treat"
Wonder woman tries to jump Catwoman but feel a shock and drop on the group
Catwoman pulled a chair and sat on it , then looked at Diana
"I see you feeling the effect of the Collar i gave you , it will give you a shock each time you display aggressive action against me , and it also stop you from talking"
Wonder Woman tried to speak again , but all her talk came out as cat meows
she stop and look at Catwoman
Catwoman smile at her , bringing up a small device from a bag next to her
clicking it , Wonder Woman put her paws on her head
" don't worry kitty , at first it's a bit painful , then its all joy "
Wonder Woman mind was assaulted , many images invading it
Her mind was getting destroyed and rebuilt
Catwoman left the room , and sat on a couch watching television
after sometime , Catwoman felt latex rubbing at her feet

- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup raisins
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Combine the eggs, applesauce and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the carrots and raisins (batter will be thick).

This is one of those wines that I live for. The kind that begins with an unknown bottle thrust in front of me by a friend with a twinkle in their eye, and ends with a profound memory of taste that becomes one of those moments that wine lovers cherish. Such wines are not common, at least not for me, but they are what keep me passionate about drinking and writing and enjoying the world of wine.
Occasionally still described by romanticizing writers as "off in a forgotten corner of Northwestern Spain," the winegrowing region of Bierzo can no longer be described as truly unknown. While it remains off the radar of most mainstream wine drinkers, this little appellation has gained some attention from wine lovers and wine critics in recent years thanks to a few spectacular wines some of which were made by, and all of which owe a debt of gratitude to a man named Alvaro Palacios.
Palacios is in his early forties, but he has dramatically shaped what we know as Spain's modern wine industry. The Palacios name has been associated with winemaking in Spain for several generations, and Alvaro eventually decided to continue the family tradition. He studied winemaking in France and went on to work at Chateau Pétrus with Jean-Pierre Moueix. But instead of returning to work on his family's estate in Rioja he traveled around Spain looking for places where he could make wines of the character and grace he had experienced in France.
Palacios eventually stumbled onto the disused Priorat region, which he singlehandedly proceeded to put on the map, both through evangelization and by example, with wines that have now become some of Spain's most sought after and most celebrated.
As if completely revitalizing one of Spain's historical winegrowing regions wasn't enough, Palacios went on to do it a second time with Bierzo. Known only 10 or 15 years ago for making fruity, innocuous wines of little consequence, Bierzo's valley floor vineyards were not of interest to Palacios. What caught his eye were incredibly steep schist and shale hillsides where select plantings of the local Mencia grape were still hanging on to life after more than a century.
The rocky soils of the region are apparently both very poor in nutrients, but also quite varied in their composition, especially on the steep hillsides around the town of Corullon. Reminded of the detailed variations in terroir he had observed in Burgundy and Piemonte, Palacios decided this region held the promise he was looking for. Just as he did in Priorat, though this time with his nephew Ricardo Perez, Palacios has snapped up several ancient vineyard sites and transformed them into something magical. The diminutive, scraggly vines, eking out an existence on hillsides of almost solid rock, yield very little fruit, but what they do give under the patient hands of Palacios and Perez is nothing short of astonishing.
Named after Palacios' father and Perez's grandfather, Descendientes de Jose Palacios makes an entry level wine named Petales, as well as its flagship bottling known as Villa de Corullon. In addition, however, the winery makes 4 single-vineyard bottlings from the oldest, most extreme vineyard sites around the town. These are named Las Lamas, San Martin, Faraona, and Moncerbal. The winery produces very little wine to begin with, and these single vineyard bottlings are made in even more minute quantities, somewhere between 200 and 400 cases apiece.
The Moncerbal vineyard is a step schist hillside about 2200 feet above sea level. The vines average 80 to 100 years in age and produce less than one ton of fruit per acre. Despite these somewhat austere conditions, Palacios and Perez farm the vineyard Biodynamically. All work in the vineyard has to be done by hand, with occasional assistance by a mule.
The wine is made just as manually, with hand harvesting and hand destemming. The grapes ferment using native yeasts as gently and as long as they need to. After fermentation the wine ages in 100% new French oak barrels and is bottled without fining or filtration.
This is one of the most unique and impressive wines I have had from Spain, and certainly the best from this appellation I have ever tasted. If you can manage to get your hands on a bottle, I highly recommend it.
Tasting Notes:
Opaque, inky ruby in the glass, this wine has a stunning nose of wet stones, black pepper, black cherry, and a vague pruney / leathery quality that emerges with some time. In the mouth it is nothing short of astonishing for reasons that are difficult to describe. This wine offers a mysterious dichotomy between what can only be described as liquified rocks -- an earthy mineral backbone that takes the breath away -- and a very thick, ripe, black cherry and plum fruit that avoids all trace of sweetness. These flavors actually taste more like the skins of these fruits than the flesh, and the impression of tartness is aided by a remarkable acidity given the ripeness that the fruit must have actually achieved (this was, after all, the year of the deadly heatwave). Overall this wine ripples with muscled power, its tannins glassy-smooth and incredibly sculpted. The finish is minutes long, and resonates with both sides of this wine's personality -- wet stones, and dried cherries. Outstanding.
Food Pairing:
I had this with a pasta in a wild boar ragu, but frankly it would have been better with wild boar morcilla.
Overall Score: between 9.5 and 10
How Much?: $85

Close ups & macros using MX-1
Thought I'd try a few close-ups and macros using the little MX-1. All taken in RAW, but very little PP used ... a bit of contrast boost, and sharpening for web. That's it.
Using the 1cm macro setting is very interesting - the lens was about 15mm from this tiny pink flower. Biggest challenge is avoiding shadows ...
Colours are very accurate and true to life
All these were hand-held, and with the fast f1.8 - 2.5 lens, deep DOF is easy to achieve...
The sheer solidity of this little black beauty helps enormously in keeping things steady. A big advantage IMHO
Kind regards

Every time a photo op happens, the most accessible camera on hand is on our phone. For better or for worse, you'll rarely see us lugging around a separate point-and-shoot or SLR. We're hoping that the tips and tricks in Adam Bronkhorst's SnApp Shots: How to Take Great Pictures with Smartphones and Apps ($13) will improve our phone camera aim, and that we'll start getting shots that are on par with those from our shmancier cameras. Bronkhorst introduces us to camera apps and options we never knew existed, and while we adore our Instagram account, we'll be branching out in the name of phone photography!

It is very important that everyone eats a healthy and balanced diet. There's no need to groan, it's true! Even if you are in perfect health, eating a well balanced diet will be beneficial to you.If you suffer from cancer than it is even more important for you to make sure you're getting the required daily intake of the important vitamins and minerals. There are actually certain foods that are thought to fight against cancer. Some foods have been proven to effectively shrink the size of cancerous tumors and give your immune system a much needed boost.
Amygdalin is a naturally occurring substance that can be found in apricots, peaches, cherries and most berries.
Broccoli has high levels of vitamin C, and it is also rich in beta carotene. This beta carotene is known to improve your body's immune system, and it has also been suggested that it will slow down tumor growth.90% of cancers develop from epithelial tissue, beta carotene is very useful at treating these forms of cancer. Many green and yellow fruit and vegetables contain beta carotene.Olive leaves are a fairly new weapon in the fight against cancer. This is thought to contain a photochemical that is actually capable of killing off cancer cells. Olive leaves aren't particularly tasty however they can be combined secretly in some dishes.There are loads of different foods that can help you fight against cancer, you should eat as many of these super foods as possible.
For decades now, research for cancer treatment has focused on medicines. Doctors and medical scientists continue to look for viable and permanent answers to treat cancer. The cost for treatment of cancer is prohibitive, and despite the best medical efforts, every year, hundreds of people fall prey to various types of cancer. While many of us can afford this treatment, we also wonder what we can do to reduce the risk of cancer and fight it with less expensive means. Recent studies prove that lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise can fight and cure cancer. In some cases, cancer fighting foods may prevent the growth of malignant tumors and help to combat existing conditions.
Experts believe that cancer fighting foods are an easy and inexpensive way to reduce the risk of cancer in children and adults. Moreover, these cancer fighting foods are freely available to us year round. We have to make the choice to include these cancer fighting foods in our daily diet to reap their enormous benefits. So, what are the best cancer fighting foods available to us? Medical experts prefer a plant-based diet to animal-based proteins, which are higher in fat content. A plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, beans, and peas may consist of the best foods to fight cancer. Let us not forget the important role that herbs and spices play in warding off the threat of cancer. However, no single food or food group can cure cancer. It is essential that you follow a varied diet consisting of different types of plant foods. The natural vitamins and antioxidants found in these foods that cure cancer is highly recommended by doctors and dieticians alike.
Antioxidants in cancer fighting foods and drinks slow down and reverse the damage caused by free radicals and the process of oxidation that may spell cancerous growths. Certain antioxidants may block or suppress the absorption of chemicals causing cancer cells. In other cases, certain foods may help individuals to stop the multiplication of cancer or tumor cells. Antioxidant foods to cure cancer include fruits and vegetables as well as nuts, whole grains, sea vegetables, and seafood. While experts continue to study the link between antioxidants and cancer, a diet rich in cancer fighting foods and vitamins may also reduce the risk of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cholesterol. These in turn, may reduce the risk factors of various types of cancer.
Diet to fight and cure cancer. Here is a list of some of the cancer fighting foods you must include in your diet to reduce the risk of cancer.
Vegetables: Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts contain cancer fighting antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants may reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men. Cancer fighting foods and recipes may include carrots to the list. Cooked or uncooked, the beta-carotene in carrots proves a powerful agent in the fight against cancer. Individuals on a vegetarian diet may benefit from a variety of mushrooms, especially shiitake mushrooms. Most varieties of mushrooms contain chemical compounds and protein called lectin. These may help to stop the multiplication of cancerous cells and reduce the risk of tumors.
Seaweed and other sea vegetables are an excellent source of cancer fighting foods and vitamins. Additionally, they also provide essential nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and iodine. For years, the general public stayed away from avocados due to its high fat and calorific content. However, recent studies show that one serving of avocados may provide a day's worth of antioxidants essential for the body. Glutathione, the powerful antioxidant in avocados attacks the damage causing free radicals in the body. It may also block the absorption of certain cancer causing fats by the intestines. If you enjoy hot and spicy food, here's another reason to add chilli peppers to the dish. Hot chilli peppers such as Serrano, jalapenos and pasilla peppers contain a chemical component called capasaicin. Lycopene in tomatoes, watermelons, carrots and red peppers has proved effective in reducing the risk of mouth cancers. Recent studies indicate that lycopene may also help to fight breast, prostate, pancreatic and colon cancer.
Cancer fighting foods include almonds, walnuts, pecans, and so on. Recipes calling for nuts in salads, desserts and many Mediterranean main courses may help reduce the risk of cancer. You may use nuts as garnish or to add texture to your foods. However, many individuals suffer from nut allergies, which maybe mild or fatal. It is best to avoid foods with nuts if you notice any discomfort after consumption. Other signs of a nut allergy may include hives, skin rashes, indigestion, nausea and vomiting.
Fruits: Figs contain chemical components that attack and destroy bacteria. Some of these properties may also help reduce the risk of cancer and fight cancer cells. Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, blood oranges, and grapefruits may prevent cancer by eliminating the carcinogens in the body. The folic acid in papaya may help to prevent conditions that lead to cervical cancer, a growing problem amongst women. Strawberries, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and so on are also excellent sources of antioxidants, which fight cancer cells. Darker berries such as black raspberries contain more concentrated amount of antioxidants.
Herbs and spices: Apart from vegetables and fruits, herbs and spices may also provide us with the required amount of antioxidants to combat cancer. Ginger and garlic used as condiments to spice foods make an excellent source of immunity boosting antioxidants. Onions, leek, chives, and so on not only aid digestion but may also prevent the occurrence of stomach or colon cancers. Rosemary used commonly in Italian cuisine and to spice herbal teas may help reduce the risk of skin and breast tumors. Turmeric and turmeric root, used as an antiseptic and antibacterial agent in traditional medicine may also reduce the risk of inflammatory diseases as well as cancer of the stomach and intestines.
Drinks: Consumed in moderation, red wine and tea, especially green tea, are significant sources of antioxidants that may reduce the risk of various types of cancer. Green tea leaves high levels of antioxidants and may rank top in the list of foods that fight lung cancer. Red wine, despite its alcohol content, contains essential polyphenols (antioxidant compounds) that help to repair the damage caused by free radicals.
Soy: Soy products such as soymilk and tofu also contain abundant amounts of antioxidants called phytoestrogens. For individuals on a vegan diet, soy products may provide the necessary amount of proteins to their diet. However, consuming a moderate diet of soy products is essential. Excess amounts of this food may stimulate the growth of cancer cells causing more harm than help.
While there is a great emphasis on the right kind of diet and cancer fighting foods, certain other lifestyle changes may also help you increase your life expectancy, while reducing the risk of cancer. Smoking and alcohol generate carcinogens in the body that may give rise to cancer. If you do trace a family history of cancer or tumor, a regular check-up, followed by a well balanced diet and exercise may improve your chances of fighting the dreaded disease.

Stagecoach Replica Shotgun
Stagecoach Replica Shotgun Non Firing
This is the world famous Coach Shotgun! If you've ever called "SHOTGUN!" getting into a car, this is where it all started. The Coach Gun received its moniker on the stagecoach runs of the Wild West, when outlaws and Indians targeted lonely coaches on long and uncertain trails through difficult and often hostile territory.
The need for effective security and defense was clearly established, and stagecoach companies quickly implemented the use of guards to ride along side the driver carrying a weapon that allowed for some leeway in accuracy as they bounced along the bumpy trails. "Riding Shotgun" became known as a hard and sometimes fatal occupation.
Cut-down versions of the Stagecoach Shotgun were also popular among Marshals and Sheriffs throughout the frontier for their mobility and lenient accuracy at close quarters. Bandits and drunken gamblers thought twice about their actions when staring down the eyes of a double barrel shotgun.
This non-firing replica Coach Gun has an authentic time-worn appearance and realistic action that mimics the double barreled, percussion cap action of the original 1881 design. . The hard wood stock and antiqued metal barrel and furniture look just as they would have heading out on the dusty trail.
Thumb the top locking lever to the side and you can "break" open the gun to reveal the lead-spitting barrels of this close-quarters defense weapon. Close and lock the barrels and cock both hammers. Finger the double triggers one at a time and the hammers will fall. On the plains of the late 19th century there was nothing else like the sound of a shotgun hammer. The realistic weight, feel and action of this legendary Old West tool will transport you back to the Dakota Territory, when your trusty shotgun was your last and best line of defense.
Commonly used in the old west on stagecoach runs to protect the cargo and passengers.
Wyatt Earp used this shotgun at the OK Corral.

Tandems - Turkey Cross
Submitted by Dan (not verified) on
Fun race! It's a great way to start Turkey Day!
Thanks for adding the tandem category, we were the ones on the tandem at MUCCY. I did not see the addition of the tandem category until I heard it at the race or we would have likely came out on the tandem. I think the TurkeyCross course would have been a lot more "tandem friendly" than the urban cross. Maybe next year?

Tandems are always welcome at any of the races I promote. We have previously had them, and added them thru a facebook post, but didn't get the word out good enough.
I was actually the guy in front of you at MUCCY until I had a mechanical. You guys were so fast on the pavement. Im trying to get a tandem category at the Highlands Ranch mtb races as well for next year too.

Pre Race Stuff
Submitted by KISS Crosser (not verified) on
Thanks to all for racing this thanksgiving, and supporting our efforts to raise some money for Flood Relief. If you haven't registered, no worries, come and play. It's the same price as pre-registering.
There is a $5 park fee for all racers. Also, we have the Standard USAC waiver as well as a BCLP waiver to sign.
Wednesday at about noon we should hsve much of the course set up to pre-ride. So come and play early.
Hope to see you there!

One of the biggest challenges is keeping the kiddos busy and active throughout the summer. Unfortunately, daily activities can quickly put a family over budget. That is where the Kids bowl free summer program steps in!
Locally, children can bowl two games per day absolutely free at any of the 37 participating Washington locations. Each family can register up to six children to bowl free with the individual alleys choose the age limit (usually 15 or 18) for the free program. What a wonderful opportunity for kids to have fun while being active.
Summer activities: Get the kids off the couch and outside!
To make this into a terrific family deal, the centers are offering a family plan (for just $ $39.95) where up to four adults, may bowl along with the registered kids. This is an inexpensive way for older siblings, parents, caretakers and/or Grandparents to bowl with the younger kids while getting in some exercise.
In order to participate, families first register with the participating bowling alley they plan to use. Families may register at more than one location but must do so with different emails. This is a great opportunity for kids that either split time between two parents or who often visit Grandparents who are closer to different bowling alleys. Friends and families in other states can simply click on their state to locate participating locations in their areas.
Note: Bowlers still need to pay to rent their shoes (price varies according to alley chosen) or wear purchased ones. You can always take the shoe rental fee, figure out how often you will go is and then see if you can find a cheap pair of bowling shoes for less than the rental. Buying a pair makes sense if your kiddos plan on going all summer. These fun kids bowling shoes are less than $30, and these plaid ones are super cute for teens. Another option is to check thrift shops, eBay or place an ad on Craig list to locate a used pair.

Lefferts is in the South Richmond Hill area of Queens where the first settlers were the Rockaway Indians. Its modern history can be traced back to 1869 when Mr. Albon Man, a New York Lawyer, purchased the Lefferts farm. He then bought Welling Farm from the Indians for a bag of shells. He continued to buy the adjacent area and called his whole land Richmond Hill. With Edward Richmond and other assistants' help, Mr. Man and his son Alrick built streets and lined them with Elm and Cedar trees. The main avenue was later named Lefferts Boulevard.
Today the Lefferts community is composed of mostly Guyanese and Asian Indians, African Americans, Hispanics, and other ethnic groups.
Lefferts Community Library, actually named the Lefferts Reference Center, opened to the public on September 3, 1975. Since then, in the Richmond Hill area, the Lefferts Reference Center has been providing service as the regional branch for its immediate community and a higher level of reference and resource service between the local branch and Central library.
On May 31, 1978, the Lefferts Reference Center initiated the computerized library circulation system, the first of its kind in New York City. The computerized system checked out the books, now with attaching barcodes, to the customers' library cards. This technology greatly helped the library staff to issue items and accept returns, and offered the customers information about the items, fines, and other information on their cards.
In 2003, The Lefferts Reference Center again pioneered the use of new circulation technology. That spring, when the branch was renovated, new self check machines were installed. Customers can now check out books, music CDs, videotapes, and DVDs by using the machines themselves, which changed the function of the Circulation desk into the Customer Service desk.

How do we attract more kids to study technology and take an interest in computer programming? As the demand for talented IT professionals grows, we'll need to encourage the next generation of youth to take an active interest in learning the skills to innovate in technology!
Here at Market Street Talent, we've compiled a list of some of the best strategies out there to teach tech skills to youth. Here are four ideas that could help encourage more students to get involved – and prepared for future careers:
- Technology games for youth – There are an amazing number of recent books, toys and games out there developed to help teach young children how to think like a computer programmer. Fun activities for children are a natural way to teach skills – such as problem solving, troubleshooting and logical progression – in a low-pressure environment. You can learn more about how parents can support early tech education for their children (even for preschoolers) in this great article from Forbes, or read about the game Robot Turtles for preschool age children created by Google Comparison Inc. CEO Dan Shapiro here.
- Grade school level technology programs – Experts are saying that more students will be attracted to IT if we teach technology skills to elementary age students in schools. All over the country, cutting edge coding programs are being offered to grade school students to close the digital divide for youth from diverse backgrounds. In Silicon Valley, for example, elementary schools are offering computer programming courses. The classes are as popular with girls and they are with boys, possibly because at this age the negative cultural stereotypes that discourage girls haven't yet set in. You can read more about the results in this article, which details how: "The student work speaks for itself. Girls or boys, minority or not, low-income or affluent – it does not matter. Everyone can learn to program, just like everyone can learn to swim when they are young and unafraid."
- Mentoring programs – Providing role models for youth, and especially those from diverse backgrounds, is critical for challenging negative cultural stereotypes. Technology professionals who share their experience with youth can inspire the next generation of computer programmers and support them by sharing real knowledge that can help them to pursue their goals. IT professionals can offer their skills through mentoring programs in both the public school system and nonprofit organizations. Here in Boston, Massachusetts, for example, the nonprofit Big Brothers Big Sisters is offering a new mentoring program with a technology club for local youth.
- Create a culture of creativity and entrepreneurship around technology – IT can become more inclusive for youth if we break down the barriers to coding. An interesting idea on how to do this is outlined in a recent article published in Slate, which makes the case for encouraging children to 'hack' their devices, such as iPads, smartphones and other mobile devices. We want youth to experiment and learn the power, creativity and curiosity that are central to coding.
At Market Street Talent, we want to continue the conversation about how best to support up and coming, diverse talent for the future of technology. We want to hear from you! Let us know how you got involved in computer programming. Get involved in the discussion here!

Guy Lodge's Top 10 Films Of All Time
How I voted in Sight & Sound's decennial critics' poll

Lazarus (guest)That hack Fleming doesn't deserve to have this film credited to his name, not did he deserve the directing Oscar won for this film. Gone With The Wind is an amazing piece of work, but the only person whose name should be next to the title is Selznick's, and that's exactly how I write it in any kind of list.
Consider that the most powerful element in the film (along with William Cameron Menzies' contributions) is Vivien Leigh, and it's a known fact Cukor was instrumental in that over Fleming's poor handling of the actress.
I'll go one further and say that Fleming shouldn't be credited with The Wizard of Oz either, which had just as many directors/producer's hands on it.August 8, 2012 at 4:31PM ESTReply to Comment
Keil Shults (guest)I was expecting a more cerebral list, though skimming through your intro made it clear you were trying to choose from the heart as much as the head. A few quick observations:
- Glad to people still willing to admit their love for Bonnie & Clyde.
- The 400 Blows would make my list too, and it beats Breathless by a mile. Jump cuts and an aura of cool can't touch the beauty and emotional intensity of this work.
- I can understand why you'd think people would be surprised by Hannah's rank among your favorites, as well as Allen's filmography, but that's their problem. On any given day I could see Annie Hall, Manhattan, or Hannah being my favorite Allen film, and they'd all likely make my top 25 films of all time. However, I feel deep down that Hannah probably is the best and most representative film of his career.August 13, 2012 at 7:27PM ESTReply to Comment

The show itself also makes use of digitally generated environmental typography for location callouts in the same vein as Panic Room. Apart from the title sequence, I must admit I actually like the show. It's like a twisted, gorier version of X-Files with more cheese and lens-flare action. Fringe (Linked via Video Copilot)

Welcome to Enter the Firing Room Home
This image depicts the actual console layout inside a KSC Firing Room. When you click on a red square, you'll meet the Launch Team member who works at the selected console. You'll learn about the Space Shuttle system(s) that Launch Team member works on, find out why he/she went to work for NASA, and how you can prepare for a similar career.
Once you have done some behind the scenes exploring with some of our engineers it's time to take the next step toward launch. Jump into the Activities Section on each featured engineer's page! It will take you to different places in this website to help you with the Challenge Quiz. In other words, this section has the answers!
Introduction Video
What Enter the Firing Room is all about!
Overview of the Firing Room
There are really four Firing Rooms at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), two primary and two backup. The two primary Firing Rooms (1 & 3) are used to process and launch the Space Shuttle. The two backup Firing Rooms (2 & 4) are used to perform secondary operations like software development and engineering analysis.
All four Firing Rooms are located on the third floor of the Launch Control Center (LCC). The LCC is a four-story building that is the electronic "brain" of the KSC Launch Complex. It is attached to the southeast corner of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and is several miles away from Pad A.
The Launch Processing System (LPS) is a highly automated, computer-controlled system that is used to assemble, checkout, and launch the Space Shuttle. Consoles are the LPS equipment that Firing Room operators use to view data and send commands.
Each console consists of three keyboards and display systems that operate as a unit. Two consoles, or six operator positions, are arranged in a quadrant, or semicircle. During all phases of checkout and launch, KSC Launch Team members man consoles to control and monitor their assigned Space Shuttle systems.

The Rebuttal: Why You Can't Learn To Be A Real Man
If we're going to advocate a return to contemplating our manhood and performing rites of passage, my question is, "Why?" How does any of that help me contribute more to the world around me? Perhaps instead of blaming the world's problems on our lack of manliness by the (albeit arbitrary) traditional definition, we should instead try to find out what makes the modern man tick.
If young men today are reluctant to "grow up" and instead remain in adolescence, why is that the case? Is it wrong? Is it progress? If modern men are in such disarray, could it be because they're burdened with pressure to fit into a mold that no longer jives with modern society and are suffering from "paralysis by analysis"?
There was a time when you had no choice but to hit the ground running once you reached adulthood, because your options were pretty limited. In modern times, people are taking longer just to finish college for no other reason than that they can't decide on a major. Over-thinking and over-planning only set you up for failure. When you focus too hard on an outcome, the best you can hope for is to have your expectations met. To successfully execute a plan only teaches you to repeat those actions. Trial and failure, on the other hand, teach you a lot more about yourself and shed light on what you want and don't want out of life. Mind you, I'm not advocating going through life shooting from the hip the entire time. Rather, all I'm saying is that while planning and contemplation are essential to some aspects of your life (your career, what you want in a relationship), it can be handcuffing to the more abstract aspects (who you are as a man).
A theme throughout the counterargument is that becoming a manlier, more successful man hinges on living a virtuous, disciplined life. I have two rebuttals for that: One, that's a recipe for being a better human being, not just a manlier "man." Manners, consideration for others, chivalry, and strength of character are absolutely and inarguably things that should be woven into the very fabric of our human existence, regardless of gender. And, two, no it doesn't. Whether you like it or not, there are men in this world who will lie, cheat and con their way through life, and in some instances they will end up happier, richer and with better-adjusted families than you will. That's life. It isn't fair, and it happens all the time. My point isn't that a life of virtue is wasted, but that it shouldn't be seen as a means to an end. Life should be lived virtuously because it improves the world you live in, not because you think it might make you a manlier man.

Fort Bragg Soldier, Josiah Paul Simpson, 23, (no rank listed) was reported missing March 3, 2014, by his family.
Last seen at the Skibo Road Holiday Inn Express in Fayetteville on Saturday, March 1, Simpson failed to report for duty with his unit Monday morning. There was no mention of anyone who might have been with Simpson at the hotel.
Local authorities are now reaching out to the public in hopes of locating Simpson or gaining additional information on his whereabouts.
He could be driving a 2011 dark gray Dodge Charger with North Carolina license plates: ACZ-4056.
Simpson is described as being 6 feet tall, weighing 144 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. Click here for photo.
Typically, unless foul play is suspected, the military doesn't dedicate many resources to finding missing Soldiers. In the words of one Army officer, "They usually show up eventually."
Anyone with information on Josiah Paul Simpson should call the Fayetteville, N.C. Police Department at 910-433-1856. Fort Bragg has yet to release an official statement.
Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux, also a Fort Bragg Soldier, went missing on April 16, 2012. Although her body was never found, she was eventually declared legally dead by the government.
