Colorectal polyps are a common condition that affect up to 30 percent of older adults in the US. This condition is characterized by a small cluster of cells that form on the lining of the colon, also known as the large intestine. Most polyps are not cancerous and are simply a result of abnormal cell growth, but some can gradually turn into colon cancer, so regular screening and removal of all polyps is important.
Small polyps do not usually cause symptoms, but larger ones may cause rectal bleeding, bloody stools, constipation, diarrhea or pain. Polyps can form anywhere within the large intestine and are can vary in size and appearance depending on the type. The three main types of colorectal polyps are:
Certain factors may put you at a higher risk for developing colorectal polyps. Some of these factors include being over the age of 50, being male, a family history of polyps, smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity. Regular colon screenings are recommended for people over the age of 50. If any abnormalities are found or you are experiencing signs of colorectal polyps, your doctor may perform a series of diagnostic tests such as a digital rectal exam, barium enema, sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy.
If a colorectal polyp is discovered, it will likely be removed in order to prevent the chance of cancer. Most polyps can be removed during a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, while others may be burned with an electrical current or surgically removed. Surgical removal can often be performed laparoscopically to minimize scarring and recovery time.
You can help reduce your risk of developing colorectal polyps and cancer by having regular screenings and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. Talk to your doctor about different steps you can take.
Colon cancer refers to cancer of the large intestine (colon) while rectal cancer refers to cancer of the last 6 inches of the colon (rectum). Cancers affecting either of these organs are collectively known as colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and women in the United States. The vast majority of individuals with colorectal cancer have no family history of the disease.
Colorectal cancer occurs when some of the cells that line the colon or the rectum become abnormal and grow uncontrollably. Most cases of colorectal cancer begin as small, benign clumps of cells called polyps. Over time some of these polyps may become cancerous. Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms.
Regular screening tests can help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become cancerous. Flexible colonoscopy is the "gold standard" screening test for colorectal cancer. Men and women are recommended to have their first colonoscopy by the age of 50. This is to be done earlier when there is a family history of colorectal cancer or if the patient presents with symptoms. These symptoms may include changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, abdominal pain, bloating, and fatigue.
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery makes it possible to remove portions of the colon, rectum and small intestine through minimally invasive methods. Instead of creating a large incision, laparoscopic colorectal surgery enables the surgeon to create three or four small incisions, each one shorter than half an inch. Smaller incisions mean a quicker recovery period for patients, allowing them to resume day-to-day activities sooner than if they underwent a traditional "open" colorectal surgery.
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery may be used to treat a variety of conditions, including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, colon polyps, and colorectal cancer. As with other laparoscopic procedures, not all patients may qualify for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Talk to your doctor to see if you are eligible for laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Computer science researchers at CU-Boulder have been studying social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter not for the networking opportunities they offer, but for a much more serious reason: They want to know how people affected by an emergency employ the tools to collect and share information, and use that knowledge to build better tools for use by citizens and emergency responders.
Led by Associate Professor Leysia Palen, the CU group has studied the use of blogs, wikis, and Web 2.0 sites such as Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter in the aftermath of wildfires, hurricanes, school shootings, and other tragic events. These peer-to-peer communication tools, although they have shortcomings, have helped people to collect and share information with others affected by a crisis without having to depend solely on the reporting of news media.
Palen, along with her students and colleagues, are now developing a suite of specialized mobile and Web applications that will integrate information from multiple social media sources to help users assess the context, validity, source, credibility, and timeliness of the information generated by citizens during emergencies.
Ultimately, the researchers hope to develop tools that will make the information posted by citizens more accessible, comprehensible, and trustworthy, so that people can make safe decisions and coordinate with family, neighbors, and officials during times of crisis.

Two of the most difficult tasks facing pet owners are trimming their pets' claws and getting them to take medication.
This isn't going to be a primer on nail clipping, but generally, the younger a cat is when you begin trimming its nails, the less likely you'll be scratched or bitten during the process when it is older. Cats' claws should be clipped every month, less if they use a scratching post to help keep the tips blunt.
Most dogs aren't any more excited about the process, but I've found that if the nails are softened by bathing them first, they tend to be less anxious.
One thing I've discovered: Doing the job by sheer force is an unpleasant experience for both the pet and the owner.
Trimming a dog's nails should be like any other trained response, such as placing the dog in a sit/stay. Take charge, do it without causing or allowing a lot of drama, and move on. Just make sure the animal expects to receive a high value reward when the job is complete. In general, a dog's nails should be trimmed every two weeks.
Giving a pet medication can be even trickier, especially if they can feel, taste or smell it before it is given.
We spend $10-$12 for a 30-day supply of tasty treats to disguise them, or end up giving them too many high-calorie treats trying to fool them.
Disgusted with the money we are spending on manufactured pill pockets, I looked for recipes for moldable treats I can make at home that animals will enjoy without realizing there are pills or capsules inside.
Some people recommend using small sections of hot dogs to hide pills, but I am concerned that the additives (and other stuff I don't know about) in the processed meat might upset their stomachs, not to mention the sodium content.
While these treats don't have anyone's seal of approval, I have fed all of these ingredients to my animals in small amounts without any problems.
Dairy products should be limited as it can cause diarrhea in both species. If a small amount of milk has you concerned, substitute water or bouillon for milk in the ingredients.
While liver is high in nutrients, use it sparingly as it can cause adverse effects in cats.
• Chicken or beef liver pockets: Cook a pound of beef or chicken liver in a little vegetable oil, including the liquid. Do not season. Allow the liver to cool, then cut it into pieces. Process in a food processor until it has the consistency of paste. Wrap the pill inside a small amount of paste so the animal swallows it whole without chewing. Divide the paste into plastic packets with enough to last a few days. Freeze the rest and thaw as needed. (From Garden Web online.)
• Peanut butter pockets: Form a paste from 1 tablespoon milk, 1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons flour. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Use as needed. (From Muttnut.blogspot.com.)
• Liverwurst pockets: Mix together in a bowl 1 tube liverwurst; 1 package cream cheese; 3 handfuls shredded wheat. Place in refrigerator overnight. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to two weeks. (From Malibupetcare.com.)

Welcome to The Best Stainless Steel Cookware where we review all the most popular and best stainless steel cookware sets on sale right now.
Stainless steel, sometimes referred to as inox steel is one of the most popular metals desired in a cookware set and for good reason.
Unlike ordinary steel, stainless steel does not readily stain, rust or corrode when it comes into contact with water. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. Because of this, it is readily used in everything from bridges and monuments right down to cutlery.
Its resistance to staining, rusting and corrosion is especially important for cooking, where water and fluids will come into contact with the cookware either directly through adding it yourself, or naturally through the foods being cooked.
Top 3 Stainless Steel Cookware Sets:
|Cuisinart MCP-12N MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set
|Cooks Standard NC-00210 Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Stainless Steel 10 Piece Cookware Set
|Cook N Home 12-Piece Stainless Steel Set
However, the name is a bit of a misnomer as it is not really stain-proof, especially when it comes to cooking. Like all other cookware, you will still need to clean and maintain it. You will definitely want to consider having some Barkeeper's Friend on hand, which will make light work out of cleaning and maintaining your cookware set.
Another great thing about stainless steel cookware is that it doesn't react to alkaline or acidic foods – which is great for people that do not like having the taste of their food disturbed, setting stainless steel apart from cookware made from other reactive types of materials.
Are there any disadvantages of stainless steel over other materials? Of course there is. The drawback of stainless steel is that the material is not a very good conductor.
However, this problem is solved by the fact that stainless steel cookware does not consist entirely of stainless steel.
This is typically handled in one of two ways:
- The cookware is made using stainless steel cladding on both sides of an aluminum core or mixed aluminum/copper/aluminum core to conduct the heat around all sides of the cookware, to distribute heat evenly as well as to reduce hot spots.
- The cookware is made with a round disk on the base made from copper or aluminum to quickly conduct heat across the base of the cookware. This style may come with the drawback of leaving hot spots around the sides.
How Much Does The Best Stainless Steel Cookware Set Cost?
How much the best stainless steel cookware set costs depends on your needs and how many pieces you want in your set. The most common number of pieces in a cookware set are 12 pieces, 10 pieces, and 7 pieces, but you can find sets starting from a mere 2 pieces going all the way up to 15 pieces.
Taking the most popular cookware configuration into account, the typical price of a 10 piece stainless steel cookware set will cost between $100 and $300. You probably want to avoid anything below $100 and you don't need to spend above $300 unless you are happy to pay for premium brands or have more specialized requirements.
10 Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set Composition
A 10 piece stainless steel cookware usually consists of:
- 10 inch skillet
- 8 inch skillet
- 1.5 inch quart saucepan
- 3 quart saucepan
- 3.5 inch quart sauté pan
- 8 quart stockpot (sometimes a dutch pot)
- 4 lids – one for each of the pans and stockpot
A cookware set with more pieces will typically include the above as standard, and the extra parts can vary from steamer inserts to cooking utensils. With a 7 piece set you'll typically lose 1 of the skillets and the smallest saucepan with lid.
Who Makes The Bestselling Stainless Steel Cookware?
The bestselling stainless steel cookware sets on sale right now are made by T-fal, Cuisinart and Cooks Standard:
- Cusinart MCP-12N
- T-fal C798SC64
- Cooks Standard NC-00210
The T-fal and Cuisinart sets are 12 pieces, and the Cooks Standard set is 10 pieces.
The main difference is that T-fal has a 5.5 quart dutch oven instead of the 8 quart stockpot present in the Cuisinart and Cooks Standard Sets.
The T-fal further varies from the Cuisinart set in that it comes with a spoon and slotted turner instead of the steamer insert and lid that comes with the Cuisinart set.

Subaru Recalls Certain Cars To Fix Airbags
Subaru is recalling certain Legacy and Outback cars from the 2012 model year because of side curtain airbags that may not deploy properly to protect occupants in a crash.
In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the car maker said some of the airbags may be defective because they do not have the correct propellant mixture, which can prevent the airbag-inflating system from putting out enough compressed gas to fill the bag.
Subaru said it built he affected cars from Dec. 1 through Dec. 23, 2011 and the recall includes 381 cars. Under the recall Subaru dealers will replace one or both side curtain air bag modules, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during or before early April. Owners can contact Subaru at 800-782-2783.

Last Wednesday afternoon, a row of television cameras and reporters lined the side of Spencer County High School's football field as media from Louisville made the short trip out to Taylorsville to report on the surprising Bears football team.
It wasn't quite the media circus football players experience in the two weeks before the Super Bowl, but for Spencer County, it had to feel pretty close.
When I was 17 and 18, I had the privilege of traveling with the circus. It was a great experience, one I hope to never repeat. When I went back home, I looked at my cat. It was not a special cat, just a cat. But I remembered how they trained those big cats to jump through hoops of fire. I looked at my little cat, and said, "Maybe you will never jump through hoops, but I bet I can train to do a few tricks." I've always believed cats were smarter than dogs. After all it's been said, "dogs have masters, cats have staff."
Words are funny things, at least the way we use them in America. For example, if I take a bow on stage I am doing one thing, if I take a bow off a package, it is something entirely different. Not only does it mean something different, we even pronounce it differently.
Second Baptist Booth space rental
Booth space during Saturday's Octoberfest in downtown Taylorsville will be available for rent on Saturday at Second Baptist Church on Jefferson Street. Booths are $25 and can be used for yard sales or other activities. Contact Gwen at 303-4313 or Camille at 296-6473.
First Baptist Yard Sale
A gigantic yard sale will be held at First Baptist Church in Taylorsville this Friday and Saturday, Oct 2 and 3 from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Proceeds will go to the youth for mission work with Kentucky Changers.
She sits on a plastic bucket in a field with her toy wooden gun, admiring the caterpillars and butterflies, while her father waits alongside and hopes for doves to fly into shotgun range.
They are creating a memory and nurturing a seed planted a couple of years ago. She was 3 then and her dad had taken a deer during the modern gun season. Seeing the harvested animal up close intrigued her.
The first glimpse of the new Taylorsville Elementary School was made public last week as school officials and architects unveiled the plans for the 70,000 square foot building that could be under construction within a month.
A forum held at the current TES on Thursday, included sketches and layouts of the new building that will be located about a mile north of the high school on KY 44, on property formerly known as the McAllister farm.
The Spencer County Board of Education on Monday night agreed to acquire three new school buses, two through a lease and one through an outright purchase. The total value of the three buses is about $272,000.
Superintendent Chuck Adams explained that they have three buses that are 2001 models, all of which will be deemed obsolete by January. He said the district has done well in recent years upgrading their fleet of 31 buses.
This is the time of year when homeowners do a lot of sprucing up around the yard, and the yard waste is usually easier to burn than to dispose of other ways.
That's prompted questions about the open burning laws in Spencer County. Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department Chief Nathan Nation said he fields calls frequently with homeowners asking about regulations.
He said there are few, if any, local ordinances governing open fires, but said state statutes do apply.
Country Ham Breakfast
Taylorsville Masonic Lodge #210 will have an all you-can-eat country ham breakfast from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 3rd. The breakfast is $7 per person. Carry-out is available.
Spencer Co. GOP Meeting

Desert Isle Keeper Review
In For a Penny
Rose Lerner
2010, European Historical Romance (1819 England)
Leisure, $6.99, 310 pages, Amazon ASIN 0843963352
Not infrequently, I find myself reading debut novels with heart. However, finding a brand new author who writes a first novel that not only has life, but also beautiful writing, charming characters, and attention to the small details happens far less often. In for a Penny is just such a book, and I adored it.
The aristocratic Lord Nevinstoke meets awkward brewery heiress Penelope Brown at a ball and, even though as a Cit she is not his social equal, she makes an impression on him. Shortly thereafter, Nev inherits his father's estate and finds everything in shambles. Though reportedly an affable man, Nev's father had no head for finances (or much of anything else, quite frankly) and the family finds itself drowning in debt.
Faced with the option of basically selling his beloved sister in marriage to a repulsive neighbor, Nev decides to sacrifice himself instead. He rather rashly goes out to call on Penelope's family and when her father allows him to address her, Penny just as unexpectedly agrees to the match. And there the fun begins as we see the young couple build a relationship, as well as trying to set Nev's rundown family estate to rights.
The initial meetings between Nev and Penny are cringe-inducing. This is definitely not perfect relationship at first sight material. The two have grown up in different worlds with different sets of expectations and it shows - painfully. However, each has a good sense of humor and this shared ability to see the funny side of situations bridges a lot of gaps. While there are definitely some miscues in communication and jumping to conclusions between these two, they are at least willing to try to speak openly with one another and that leads to some great scenes between the two.
The book has some cute, funny moments, but one of its great charms lies in seeing how two very different people fall in love and figure out how they complement each other. And they really do. Penny is very intelligent, kindhearted, and has good business sense, but she's not the most graceful in social situations and she doesn't understand country ways. Nev, on the other hand, has a certain amount of sense and plenty of good intentions, but he's no financial wizard. He never learned much about business or managing an estate and, while not a rake, his life in London before marriage does have a certain immature quality that I would call "Regency frat boy." However, Nev is also softhearted, knows his tenants, and has an almost innate talent for putting those around him at ease. They're a good team.
As I mentioned before, Nev and Penny's relationship does feature a certain amount of miscommunication, but given their personalities, it feels natural rather than forced. Even more importantly, each time these two work through a snag, it brings them closer together. I could really believe in their love story. The love scenes between the two are quite passionate, and their relationship also feels believable because the author pays attention to the small details. Nev and Penny may make love ardently, but Nev is also very protective of Penny in the face of those who would insult her, and he does small things to try to put her at her ease and make her happy. For her part, Penny has a strong personality which comes through very well, and it's easy to see what she has that Nev loves about her because she's definitely an individual and not simply a generic, interchangeable sort of heroine.
The shared desire to create a life for themselves and also to improve the lot of their tenants adds a certain gravity to the love story. Readers may quibble with certain aspects of the plotting toward the end of this book, but the strong characterizations and wonderful tone made me love In for a Penny and consider it a treasure.

(October 3, 2013)
The challenge of writing Behind the Candelabra, explained Richard LaGravenese, was making Liberace's larger-than-life persona seem real and capturing the love story between the showman and his "assistant" Scott Thorson. When no studio would touch the project, LaGravenese found a home at HBO, where he happily recounts getting practically no notes from executives. It was the screenwriter's first foray into television, and the experience was so positive that he's now creating his own series. By the way, Candelabra took home 11 Emmys this year.
LaGravenese, along with the six other Emmy-nominated writers who sat on the panel of this year's Sublime Primetime – co-presented by the WGAW and the Writers Guild Foundation - were a testament to the robust state of television today and the rich opportunities for writers at a time when moviemaking is constricting. From Breaking Bad's George Mastras and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's Kevin Bleyer to Greg Daniels (The Office), Erica Oyama (Burning Love), Lizzie Molyneux and Wendy Molyneux (Bob's Burgers) and moderator Larry Wilmore (The Bernie Mac Show) the conversation more than delivered on WGAW Vice President Howard A. Rodman's opening promise that the audience would be "hearing what they (the panelists) have to say about what they do best."
The conversation offered a trenchant look at the sometimes-circuitous routes taken by these writers in their respective careers. Mastras was a burned-out defense attorney living in Los Angeles when he quit his job and bought a one-way ticket to China and wrote spec scripts for two years before winning the ABC/Disney's writing fellowship and launching into TV writing. An actress by trade, Oyama's obsession with reality shows developed while at home with her infant daughter and was the inspiration for her reality web parody, Burning Love. Bleyer hankered to be a journalist and war correspondent, but ended up writing for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and eventually The Daily Show which, he jokingly says, makes him "something of a war correspondent."
In fact, the ethos of The Daily Show is not unlike that of a newsroom, with the lineup of news stories sometimes revamped just minutes before the show goes live. On the other hand, the storylines for Bob's Burgers, an animated family show, often come from the unconscious of the writers. Panelist Wendy Molyneux, for example, explained how her own dream about a toilet evolved into an episode on the series about an ET-like toilet. To authentically capture Walter White's world on Breaking Bad, Mastras said writers visited a DEA meth lab in Dallas. And Daniels confessed to having worked out the final episode of The Office four years before the series ended.
These kinds of tidbits were a window onto what the creative process is like for writers at the top of their game. But while the Sublime Primetime panelists are all masters at their craft, their advice for aspiring writers came from experience: Write a lot of spec scripts. Know form and structure. Don't be afraid to start at the bottom. And from Daniels, who shared the most personal insight into how he learned to write for television --- transcribe episodes of shows line by line in script form.

The story behind this strange happening is that apparently Google and Google Plus went down. This is a strange bug that resulted. Techcrunch says:

In a glitch possibly related to the massive Gmail outage underway right now, there's an odd bug in Google search which is pointing users directly to his personal email address.

Many users noticed that Gmail had gone down about an hour ago but this strange event has only just been identified

My husband made some chocolate chip cookies. He changed the recipe (mistake) and they turned out flat and crispy. They taste good, but do not look nice. What can we use these for? I hate to throw them all out - he made a double batch. Can I blend them up in the blender and make choc. chip pancakes or what. Thanks for any help.
There are plenty of uses for less than ideal cookies. Here are a few off the top of my head:
What you need is some red icing, some white icing and some blue icing. You can use this to make a little Union Jack on top of each cookie.
Then, when you eat them, close your eyes and think of England. It won't matter how they look.

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser
- By admin
- 22 July, 2013
- 3 Comments
It was very strange that Toyota did not provide Land Cruiser as a 2012 version and they took place to the 2013 year. For 2014 Toyota Ranch Cruiser we expect to see simply slight modifications just like with the previous years. Those adjusts will be most likely related to the options and basic functions it will provide.
The 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser comes specification with every little thing this year. Previous options like rear-seat entertainment, navigation, warmed and cooled seats– you call it, it's obtained it. Of course, this $78,000, eight-passenger SUV with go-anywhere four-wheel-drive capacity might not seem to be the sort of straightforward, user-friendly Toyota to which you're useded, but in fact it's the sort of automobile that every Toyota aspires to be. It goes all over, does every little thing, yet never flaunts. The Ranch Cruiser is like an Omega Seamaster wrist watch in a discount-store Timex instance.
Since the intro of the FJ40 in 1960, the Ranch Cruiser has actually assumed the sort of cult condition that parallels various other 4×4 tales from Jeep and Land Rover. Like those symbols, the Ranch Cruiser has consistently gone locations normal vehicles can't tackle and, not surprisingly, the Toyota is additionally proclaimed as the most reliable in this exclusive group.
Certainly, the Ranch Cruiser's high-end features are reasonably brand-new. Large game seekers travelling with Botswana in 1978 most likely just weren't viewing The Spy Who Liked Me from a reclining rear seat. But equally Land Rover has relocated upmarket over the years, so as well, has the Land Cruiser. The 2014 Ranch Cruiser showcases items that immediately established the truck up for certain sort of surface, change the rigidity of the stabilizer bars (more body control for sidewalk, much less for off-road) and take control of the accelerator and brakes throughout sluggish, hair-raising off-road maneuvers.
To logical automobile customers, the 2014 Toyota Ranch Cruiser supplies limited allure. Several less expensive crossovers function much better for everyday use, such as the Buick Territory or Infiniti JX35. If you need towing energy, there's Toyota's very own Sequoia, or the Ranch Cruiser's double, the Lexus LX 570, which isn't that a lot more costly now. And if it's an apples-to-apples rival you desire, the Ranch Rover LR4 offers outstanding off-roading ability and a much more lavish, spacious cabin. It's additionally more affordable (though far less dependable).
But you don't need to be reasonable to cherish the Ranch Cruiser's significant ability. Whether on a Toyota dealership lot or out while driving, the Land Cruiser is a legend. And that alone is enough to ensure its beauty.
Physical body Styles, Trim Levels, and Alternatives
The 2014 Toyota Ranch Cruiser is an eight-passenger SUV offered in a solitary, totally packed trim level.
Criterion features consist of 18-inch tires, auto-dimming and power-folding mirrors, automatic xenon headlamps, foglamps, automatic wipers, personal privacy glass, a roofing rack, a sunroof and keyless ignition/entry. Interior attributes include four-zone automated environment control, heated and aerated energy front seats (10-way motorist, eight-way guest), a hot 40/20/40-split 2nd row (sliding, reclining, folding), leather upholstery, a wood-trimmed power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a center console colder box.
Standard digital functions include adaptive trip control, a rearview electronic camera, Lexus Safety Connect emergency communications, a navigation device, a touchscreen user interface, voice control, Bluetooth phone and audio connection, a rear-seat entertainment device and Toyota's Entune suite of mobile phone app-based solutions. The 14-speaker JBL sound system includes a CD player, satellite radio, HD radio and an iPod/USB sound interface./2014-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Side.jpg" width="500″ height="312″ />
Powertrains and Performance
The 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser comes with a 5.7-liter V8 good for 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic and a full-time four-wheel-drive system are standard. The maximum towing capacity is 8,500 pounds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined.
Besides four-wheel drive, the Land Cruiser comes standard with a locking center differential, the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (adjusts the stabilizer bars for improved on-road handling and off-road capability), Multi-Terrain Select (adjusts the stability and traction control based on different road surfaces), a five-speed crawl control (essentially a low-speed off-road cruise control), hill-start assist (prevents rolling back on hills) and Off-Road Turn Assist (applies brakes to the wheels on the inside in a corner to improve turning response).
In performance testing, the similar Lexus LX 570 went from zero to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds, which is quick for an SUV of its size and weight.
Standard safety features include antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front- and second-row side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front knee airbags. Also standard is the Lexus Safety Connect system, which includes automatic collision notification, on-demand roadside assistance, an emergency assistance button and a stolen vehicle locator.
Interior Design and Special Features
The 201 Land Cruiser's interior is as refined as a Toyota gets, with high-quality materials and excellent fit and finish. It doesn't quite match its Lexus twin, but certainly comes close. For 2014, the dash eliminates several audio system buttons for a slightly cleaner look, but some may find it complicates functionality.
The cabin can accommodate eight passengers, though the third row really only suits kids because of the flat seat bottom and high floor. Access to the third row is eased via a one-touch tumble-forward second-row seat. Middle-row occupants fare better with more space, a rear-seat entertainment system and a heated seat that slides and reclines.
With the rear seats in place, cargo space is 16 cubic feet. That's about the same capacity as a midsize car's trunk, but ultimately less useful since the Land Cruiser's space is vertical rather than horizontal. The third-row seats do not fold down, nor are they removable. Instead, they fold up against the sides of the cargo bay and still consume space. Consequently, the Cruiser's maximum cargo capacity is modest at 82 cubic feet, a relatively small figure for a large SUV.
Driving Impressions
As with previous Toyota Land Cruisers, the 2014 model has excellent off-road capability and still delivers a thoroughly comfortable ride on urban streets. It is also a technological tour de force. When exploring the untamed wilds, high-tech features like Multi-Terrain Select and crawl control take much of the worry out of the hands (or feet) of the driver. Just select what type of terrain you're driving on, then dial in the desired speed (as low as 1 mph), keep your feet off the gas and brake pedals and steer in the desired direction.
In the more maddening wilds of the urban jungle, the 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser behaves like the civilized luxury SUV it's intended to be, soaking up bumps with composure and insulating driver and passengers from the outside world. On a mountain road en route to the ski slopes, the Land Cruiser remains relatively flat through corners, the KDSS active antiroll bars helping the heavy SUV feel surprisingly confident. Performance is also strong, with the 5.7-liter V8 furnishing plenty of thrust for passing, towing or effortless freeway cruising — at the expense of fuel economy, of course.

Reliability is at high level and that is what i like about Toyota. For few years i made about 86k of miles and only problem was with cooler box but it was easily solved.
Land Cruiser is a dream car for me, it offers me safety and off road capabilities which im using often. Even it is huge it can be driven on the roads with ease and gives me enough space even when im driving my kids.
I'm a mother of two child's and Land Cruiser provides more than enough space for me and my family. We would be quite okay with a smaller vehicle but since we often go on trips with my sister and family it is always great to have so much room that we are getting from this car.

He was at the Committee to Protect Journalists International Press Freedom Awards on Tuesday, where he photographed MrB, the other awardees and guests. You can see the pictures in tomorrow's New York Times Sunday Styles section … and here.

Tis the Season…. What does a purposeful peaceful Christmas look like to you? What is your goal?
Jump ahead 3 months to Christmas Night. As you crawl into bed, when all is finished, imagine jotting down how your Christmas went this year. Now go ahead and write it. Yes right now! I want you to have a tangible picture in your mind to hold on to while you prepare. No pressure – you don't have to write a novel – but just jot down some phrases and ideas.
Do you want to hear a couple of mine? I'll just give you just few items on my wish list:
- I want to wake up Christmas morning, pull out that casserole I put together the night before and stick it in the oven before the presents start. Then I want us to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus, like we did when I was a kid. I know – it sounds simple – but daggonit, I just can't ever seem to do it!
- I want Christmas Eve to be peaceful and warm and cozy. I want to pull cookies out of the oven (having pre-made the dough) for the kids to munch. I want to get out my guitar and sing "Good King Wenceslaus" like the girls did in the "Little Women" movie. ( Because corny things like that are how traditions are built!) And I want us all to cozy up together to read the Christmas Story at bedtime. (Without being elsewhere, mentally.)
- I want the little gifts – like teacher and co-worker presents – finished and wrapped so far ahead of time that they don't even make a blip on my Holiday Radar come the homestretch. I can devote that last-minute rush-rush time to some fun Holiday Baking instead.
We want you to write your story – the Christmas YOU want to have – and we'll spend the next few months working together to make that happen. We even have the perfect place for you to write that story down (No – not the back of that bill sitting next to you!)
We've created a Christmas Planner for you guys! It's a guide that you can download and print – and we'll be giving it to you page by page as we tackle each part of the planning process. You can put them in a binder, or staple them together and use them to stay organized and focused throughout the coming months! Just click on the image below to print a PDF of Page 1.

STANFORD, Calif. -- Few days pass when Nick Robinson doesn't think about "The Shot." The same goes for many of the sellout crowd of 7,391 fans at Maples Pavilion, who saw No. 2 Stanford beat No. 12 Arizona 80-77 on Robinson's 35-foot buzzer-beater on Feb. 7, 2004.
"It's a great memory and amazing that 10 years have passed since that magical season," said Robinson, now a father of four and the head basketball coach at Southern Utah. "I'm just so grateful for my teammates and the coaching staff that we were all able to be a part of such a great team with the Sixth Man Club and everybody who was in attendance."
The atmosphere was electric for the Saturday matinee, televised nationally on ABC with Brent Musburger and Dick Vitale calling the game. Students started camping out for prime seats on Tuesday, and head coach Mike Montgomery and his staff rewarded many for their loyalty by distributing pizzas. The Cardinal was one of only two unbeaten teams in the country, along with St. Joseph's, and was seeking its 20th consecutive victory.
Just before tipoff, Tiger Woods walked into Maples and sat courtside with his fiance and two friends, sending the Sixth Man Club into a frenzy. Former Secretary of State George Shultz, NFL Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh and Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett were also on hand. Few could have predicted the drama to follow.
"Before each game, players tend to take a moment to see who may be in the stands," Robinson recalled. "Obviously, we were excited for the Sixth Man Club and we were always grateful for their support. I think we were all able to spot Tiger."
Robinson, a 24-year-old forward and defensive specialist from Liberty, Mo., was pressed into action due to injuries to Justin Davis and Matt Haryasz. A two-time team captain, Robinson would finish his career with 107 steals, now good for 14th most in school history.
Stanford forged an early 13-point lead, but the Wildcats, led by explosive guard Salim Stoudamire, closed to 44-35 at halftime.
Arizona caught fire after the break, going on a 19-6 run, and held a 77-73 advantage with 58 seconds remaining. Things looked bleak for the Cardinal until All-America forward Josh Childress rattled in a 3-point baseline jumper from just in front of the team bench to tie the score at 77-77 with 23.2 seconds remaining.
With Maples shaking from top to bottom, everyone in the building knew the Wildcats would look to Stoudamire for the potential game-winner. He already had a game-high 24 points, several buckets coming from the 415 and 408 area codes.
Following a timeout, Arizona finally got him the ball with seven seconds left, but he dribbled into a triple team. Gritty Matt Lottich knocked the ball away, Robinson grabbed it, and the rest is history.
"Our entire focus was just getting a defensive stop and make Arizona take the toughest shot possible," said Robinson. "Fortunately for us, I came up with the ball. I took a look and saw there was like 2.7 seconds left on the clock. I took two dribbles and let it go."
Robinson wasn't sure if he made it.
"It felt good," he said. "Did I think it was going in? Probably not right away, but it was above the cylinder."
The ball seemed to hang in the air, almost in suspended animation, nine players racing down the court to discover its fate. It hit nothing but net.
Instantly, the Sixth Man Club rushed the floor, mobbing Robinson and his teammates.
"Being at the bottom of the pile, it was definitely chaotic," Robinson said. "It was an experience I will never forget."
Musburger and Vitale could hardly contain themselves.
"It's like a 35-foot putt down at Augusta to wrap up the Masters on the 18th green," Musburger said. "This one will head right to ESPN Classic."
In the craziness that ensued, Gerry Plunkett, Jim's wife, was knocked down by the students and her left leg got caught in a chair. Her screams went unnoticed at first, but she escaped with a severe leg bruise.
"I have two thoughts," Gerry said this week. "One, what a fabulous game. It was so exciting and Maples was packed. But it was kind of bittersweet because I got hurt. Nobody meant any harm. It was just the excitement of the game. I was lucky not to have any permanent damage."
The Plunketts remain avid supporters of the men's and women's basketball teams and still sit in the same seats. For a while, they left early to avoid a similar incident. Admittedly, Gerry had flashbacks last week when the Cardinal nearly upset top-ranked Arizona at Maples.
"Stanford has done a much better job with security and is quite aware of what can happen and has tried to prevent it from happening again," she said.
After the 2004 win, Montgomery invited Woods into the locker room.
"He said, 'Congratulations on the win and everybody got a chance to shake his hand,' " said Robinson. "It was neat to meet him. And then afterward, when we saw the replays, you get a chance to see Tiger jumping up and down with the Sixth Man Club, which was great to see."
Woods, a two-time All-American at Stanford, might have been the happiest person in Maples.
"It was a great atmosphere," Woods said. "I'm really proud of how hard the guys battled at the end. I didn't know I could jump that high. So glad I got a chance to be part of it."
Robinson said players lingered a long time.
"Just enjoying the game and watching the replays," he said. "It was a lot of fun."
When it was suggested Stanford could have used him last week against Arizona, he laughed.
"I was glued to the TV, just like everybody else that wears Cardinal," said Robinson. "They could have gotten it done."
Robinson and his teammates autographed hundreds of posters of his game-winning shot. One hangs in Woods' office.
"Mine, too," Robinson said.

DIY Easter Nails - Make Your Easter Happy & Hoppy!
This entry was posted on March 27, 2013.
With Easter just around the corner wouldn't you like to celebrate Easter with cheery Easter nails? Currently Pinterest is buzzing with images of Easter nails, and we thought we would share some of our findings with you!
Beautylish showed off a beautiful picture of Easter nails, which are complete with adorable Easter colors and dots. They didn't include a tutorial but we're guessing you can create the beautiful dots by using a toothpick or the end of the sewing pin - just don't poke yourself! There are also beauty nails tools available if you live near Target or know of a beauty shop nearby. To create colored tips on your nails use tape, meaning before you paint the bottom coat you will want to do your tips first. That way smudging of your bottom layer will not take place. Place tape on your nail and then paint the tip that's not covered by the tape. This will also help you create the perfect Easter nail combo!
These spring Easter nails require more effort, but if you have some time to do designs with a toothpick on your nails, then go for it! Find more nail inspiration at The Swatching Sprite blog, which is where this image came from. We're loving the pretty fireflies and flowers on these nails. Not to mention the blue tips are adorable too! Be creative and have while painting your nails!
Check out this long tutorial above on how to get perfectly pink ombre nails! BeautyMalmira got it right with this DIY - these nails are stunning and look fairly easy to accomplish. We're loving the ombre aspect as well and the fact that she used a nail beauty tool to create this look. If you don't have a beauty tool though don't fret, a toothpick should also do the trick.
Last but not least, these adorable chick nails are also perfect for Easter. If you love yellow and you want something unique, this is a great idea. The nail polish is so bright and colorful! We found this image from Beautylish's Community Nail's page. The girls are having a lot of fun with their Easter nails over there!
So what do you think? Are you going to get your nails Easter ready for this upcoming holiday weekend? Show off your glam nails with your Perfect Locks and you'll have it made! Stay tuned for more Easter inspired posts to get you in the Easter mood. ;)

Buy new totes but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold. Usually this old adage is about friends, but we've adapted it to fit our feelings about this BAGGU Dipped Tote ($45). In this version, however, the silver and gold part applies to both of the new totes, because we don't think we'll be able to choose between them (or the five other colors this versatile bag comes in).

Comments about Hand-painted Leather Peacock Tote:
I just received this order in the mail and am very pleased with it. I absolutely love the colors and design. It is quality leather. It is well made on the inside with a zipper pocket and two other pockets (not to mention the ones on the outside). It is unique and I would not have found one like it where we live.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Joseph M. Di Cola and David Stone join us in a discussion of their book, Chicago's 1893 World's Fair, fittingly not one block away from one of the Fair's major areas, the Midway Plaisance. In the book, Di Cola and Stone delve into the Fair's layout and historical importance and provide 200 photographs of the Fair's grounds and exhibits.
About Chicago's 1893 World's Fair:
What came to be known as the World's Columbian Exposition was planned to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's 1492 landfall in the New World. Chicago beat out New York City, St. Louis, Missouri, and Washington, DC, in its bid as host—a coup for the Windy City. The site selected for the fair was Jackson Park, originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, a marshy area covered with dense, wild vegetation. Daniel H. Burnham and John W. Root were selected as chief architects, creating the famous White City. The fair featured several different thematic areas: the Great Buildings, Foreign Buildings, State Buildings, and the Midway Plaisance, a nearly mile-long area that featured exotic exhibits. The exposition also showcased the world's first Ferris Wheel and introduced fairgoers to new sensations like Cracker Jack, Pabst Beer, and ragtime music. The World's Columbian Exposition, covering 633 acres, opened on May 1, 1893. By 1896, most of the fair's buildings had been removed or destroyed, but this collection takes readers on a tour of the grounds as they looked in 1893.

External influences are everywhere. It is easy to be influenced by the people and things around you. Influences can be positive or negative. It is very important that couples don't let the negative influences take over their marriage .
One way we've shown others what influence can do is to get an orange and an onion. We have them smell each one individually. We cut them both and put half of each in a ziplock bag. After several minutes we open the bag and have them smell inside. At this point most people can only smell the onion. The orange has been overpowered.
There can be many different kinds of influence, and as mentioned before, not all are bad. However it is important that you put up protective barriers for those things or people who may try to intrude.
One major influence can be family. Couples need to make sure that family members do not intrude too much on the marriage. Remember the vows that said you forsake all others and cling to your spouse. Make sure your spouse never feels second place to family or friends.
Also parents should not be used as a safety net for your marriage, just in case it doesn't work out. Needing to get out is certainly understandable if there is abuse or other such things going on, but if it's just a matter of not getting along, it's best if you can stay together to work it out, even if it means you need a third party to help, such as a counselor, etc.
It is also important that you don't let negative media or friends/family with a negative view of marriage effect you. Don't get sucked into telling negative jokes about the opposite sex, marriage or your spouse. It may just seem like fun, but it can easily go to far and become hurtful. Remember what we said about the onion and the orange.
One last thought about influence: The other day I was shoveling snow. I noticed how beautiful and white it was. Then I noticed snow on the side of the road that was all dirty from the trucks that had driven through it.
When I saw this, I had this thought. Marriage starts out beautiful and white and pure, like the fresh, clean snow. And most who get married do so with hope for the future, at least at that time. But the powers of influence can make the snow dirty. It's like someone going trucking through that beautiful snow.
This can come from others with bad attitudes about marriage or even your own negative attitude. So, remember this, Don't let anyone go trucking through your snow! Try to read and see things that have a positive view of marriage. Also be careful who you listen to or allow to influence you. This is one way to help you have a positive and healthy marriage that will last, through all that may try to come against it.
