The Ferrari is arguably one of the most famous Ferraris in history. The last car to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari himself, it was the fast, most powerful and most expensive car Ferrari sold at the time. It was powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 471bhp. In total, just over 1,300 F40s were produced from 1987-1992.
The E30 M3 was the first M3 ever built. Originally, 5,000 units were due to be made to showcase the skills of BMW's M division. The car was in production for five years, with nearly 18,000 rolling off the production line in that time.
Possibly one of the rarer breeds of Nissan, the 240Z 432R was a special edition of the 240Z sports car of the 1970s. The race-bred 432R could push 180bhp from its tweaked engine, and it reportedly weighed around 100kg less than the standard 240Z.
The Honda NSX was developed in the era of Honda's most successful racing performances. The NSX was the first production car to use an all-aluminium body, with Honda aiming for it to be an everyday supercar with great performance and reliability. The car was developed with the input of Ayrton Senna at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan, as well as the Nordschleife in Germany.
The D-Type was produced by Jaguar between 1954 and 1957. Sharing many components with the C-Type, the D-Type brought technology from the aviation industry to competition car design. This no doubt contributed to the D-Type's success at Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957. In all, total production is believed to have included 18 factory team cars, 53 customer cars and 16 XKSS versions.
The Jaguar E-Type is a British car design icon. Unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the E-Type won the hearts of punters who instantly took to its stunning design and attractive price - being two to three times lower than that of its closest rivals. In fact, it was so popular at the show that Sir William Lyons had another car driven from Coventry to Geneva for the media. Enzo Ferrari himself described it as the most beautiful car in the world. Praise indeed.
The Lamborghini Miura debued at the 1965 Turin Motor Show with a revolutionary mid-engined layout. Whilst not as good to drive as a Ferrari, the Miura's party piece was its 170mph top speed - earning it the reputation as the fastest car in the world. What the Miura is most notable for, though, is its looks.
Designed by 25-year-old Marcello Gandini in just under a year, the Miura is instantly recognisable and sparked a long-standing rivalry between Ferrari and Lamborghini.
The Porsche 356 is the original Porsche. Production started in 1948 in Austria and was based on a similar rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive setup to the Volkswagen Beetle. In 1950, the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany, where production continued until 1965. Approximately 76,000 cars were produced in total, with the car racking up a series of motorsport successes and gaining popularity amongst the rich and famous.
RWB is a Japanese company specialising in tuning Porsches. The firm's creations are recognisable by their wide bodies and hand-built craftmanship. Of particular note is the way in which Akira Nakai, the man behind RWB, designs and crafts the cars. All measurements are done by eye - as the name Rauh-Welt Begriff suggests - the rough way.
The Toyota 2000GT was first introduced at the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show and represented a milestone in Japanese car production - it was one of the first cars with an attractive design to be coupled with great performance that would take the fight to western sports car manufacturers. However, the 2000GT's success didn't last long. It was overly expensive for a Japanese car at the time, and so only 351 were built - making it one of the rarest Japanese cars of all time.
The Toyota AE86 came on the scene in the 1980s just as the drifting phenomenon started to take off in Japan. The car has featured in a range of video games, TV series and films, ensuring its popularity and success. This is especially the case on the current used car market where the AE86 enjoys high resale prices. It has since been the influence of the new Toyota GT86 and sister-car Subaru BRZ.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< The issue between the par...
|Irving's response >
The case for the Defendants
6.4Longerich examined in his report the genealogy of Hitler's role in the persecution of the Jews. He began with the emergence of Hitler's anti-Semitism after the First World War. In correspondence in 1919 Hitler outlined the differences between what he called emotional and rational forms of anti-semitism. The latter form ultimately led Hitler to call for the removal of the Jews altogether. By 1920 he was already using terms such as extirpation, annihilation and extermination in relation to the Jews. He referred to the Jews as a plague, an epidemic, germ carriers, a harmful bacillus, a cancer and as maggots. In his writings and speeches Hitler blamed the situation of Germany at the end of the First World War on an international Jewish conspiracy. His basic wish throughout had been by one means or another to remove the Jews from German soil. As is evident from the Goebbels diaries, Hitler and Goebbels devoted much time to the prosecution of anti-semitic policy.
6.5 In Mein Kampf, which was published in 1926, Hitler developed his anti-semitism by placing his desire to remove the Jews in the context of a wider theory of the struggle between races for living space. In Hitler's view the Jews, lacking a state of their own, were parasites trying to destroy those states which had been established by superior races. This idea was developed in his 'Second Book' which was written in 1927 although not published in his lifetime. In his speeches in the late 1920's Hitler stated that Jews were not able to work productively because they lacked a proper relationship with the soil. As a consequence they were parasites and spongers. This did not prevent Hitler from claiming that the Jews had achieved economic dominance and the ability to control and manipulate the media to their own advantage. He spoke of the need to eliminate the economic ascendancy of the Jews, if necessary by means of their physical removal. Longerich asserted that anti-semitism was an integral part of Hitler's Weltanshauung.
6.6 According to Longerich, when the Nazi party began to attract mass support in the early 1930s, the anti-semitic element was played down for political reasons. Even so, Hitler continued to refer to the Germans as being poisoned by another people. From 1935 onwards Hitler's attitude towards the Jews was reflected in the anti-semitic policies pursued by the Nazi government. Longerich cited, by way of illustration of these policies, Hitler's role in organising the boycott of Jewish businesses on 1st April 1933 and the enactment between 1935 and 1937 of various discriminatory laws. Jews were excluded from holding public office and the practice of law. Quotas for Jewish pupils and students were brought in. Longerich notes that after coming to power in 1933 there are examples of Hitler exercising a moderate influence on Jewish policy but in his view this was dictated by tactical considerations.
6.7 Hitler's anti-semitism is evident in his public statements in the 1930s. In his speech to the Reich Party Congress in 1937 Hitler talked of Jewish-Bolshevist subversion. The pogrom of 9th November 1938, Reichskristallnacht, marks the first occasion when Jews and their property were subjected to serious and widespread violence and destruction. I have already set out in section V(iii) and (iv) above the reasons why the Defendants contend that Hitler approved and promoted the pogrom. Hitler addressed the Reichstag on 30th January 1939 on the topic of the Jewish question. He said:On the Defendants' case, this was a theme to which Hitler reverted on numerous occasions during the war as the Nazi line against the Jews hardened. I have already referred in section 5(viii) to Hitler's pronouncements on the Jewish question and I will not repeat them here.
"In my life I have often been a prophet and was generally laughed at. During my struggle for power it was mostly the Jewish people who laughed at my prophecies that I would some day assume the leadership of the state and thereby of the entire Volk and them, among many other things, achieve a solution of the Jewish problem. I believe that in the meantime the then resounding laughter of Jewry in Germany is now choking in their throats.
Today I will be a prophet again; if international Jewry within Europe and abroad should succeed once more in plunging the peoples into a world war, then the consequence will be not the Bolshevisation of the world and therewith a victory of Jewry, but on the contrary, the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe".

Total Reserves €308 Million for FCPA Settlement
Updated below
Oil major Total said in a regulatory filing Monday it had reserved €308 million to settle a long-running investigation by U.S. authorities into potentially corrupt business practices in Iran.
The company said on Monday that U.S. authorities had proposed draft settlement agreements "that could be accepted by Total," and had put aside the €308 million, or $398 million, as a result.
UPDATE: The estimated $398 million in settlement costs remain unchanged from an estimate by the company in August, according to a Total spokeswoman. But the company booked the settlement funds in euros and the reserve was €8 million less than a previous settlement estimate due to exchange rate variations, the spokeswoman said.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department have been investigating Total's pursuit of contracts in the early 2000s to develop parts of Iran's South Pars gas field, among the world's largest.
The huge sum reserved would be one of the largest-ever settlements under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits improper payments to foreign officials to gain a business advantage.
A spokeswoman for the Justice Department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. An SEC spokeswoman declined to comment.
The SEC opened its probe in 2003 and the Justice Department followed. Total previously disclosed that the investigation focused on whether a consultant hired by the company paid bribes on its behalf, in violation of the FCPA.
Total said it opened talks with U.S. authorities in 2010 and has been cooperating with the Justice Department and the SEC.
In previous regulatory filings, Total has said that it doesn't believe that its contracts in Iran violated any law. The company said in March it had turned down settlement terms offered by the agencies because it was "unable to agree to several substantial elements of the proposal." But in August, Total said it had reserved €316 million after discussions with U.S. authorities "accelerated."

Got a package today with a CD I ordered from SFR. With it followed a torn apart, coffe-drenched reciept from a clothing factory. On the backside is the chorus to Inherited Scars. The reciept is from 2005. I also got a small piece of a paper with Slown Down Gandhi lyrics on the front and "Still Sicly Business" on the back. I dont know what to think about this, but I know I like it. SFR is some weird cats.

not sure why you got both items.
But the lyrics are written out by Swam from when we were rehearsing for the tour where he helped with back ups.
The "Still Sickly Business" paper is something I wrote out for the Still Sickly Business CD artwork

I'm interested in inserting a backslash into a text object.
Can anyone help with getting around the interpretation as an escape character? I've tried all the usual double backslash and quote combinations but haven't had a positive result yet.
I tried using the "insert unicode" options, but each time I found an appropriate backslash character it was interpreted the same way.
I've read the documentationon using \S to get semi superimposed super and sub scripts (sorry, there was a special on alliteration today!), but can't find any other escape sequence or related documentation.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

A family business that is constantly on the move, Grammy Award-winning rockers Los Lonely Boys rely on CDMA mobile broadband to keep their tours running smoothly and to stay connected with management, vendors, fans and family.
Its 9:43pm at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado, and Los Lonely Boys – brothers Henry, Ringo and Jojo Garza – are opening the show with a blistering rendition of their song, "Senorita."
There may be only three musicians on stage, but behind the scenes a crew of five spend nine hours each day, 200 days a year, executing logistical and production details orchestrated by tour manager, Glenn Felton. A 20-year veteran of the concert tour production business, Glenn pulls it all together with his mobile phone, a laptop and a mobile broadband connection from Verizon Wireless.
In a line of work where fixed broadband connections are either scarce or expensive to rent, mobile broadband enables Glenn to work not only on the bus but at each tour venue. A typical afternoon involves planning upcoming shows, dealing with promoters and conveying updates on stage requirements and catering – all while attending to dozens of issues like stage wardrobe needs, band and crew laundry, ordering meals and procuring gear.
Glenn snaps a photo from the side of the stage and uploads it to the group's Facebook page, then retreats to a corner where he has set up operations. He checks e-mail whenever he can, and no detail is too trivial for his immediate attention.
"I'm taking care of finances, I'm budgeting, I'm watching payroll and making sure we're getting paid, making sure my crew is happy and the band is happy," he says.
Stanley Zadrozny, executive director for network technology development at Verizon Wireless, says that such demanding use is possible because the company has "a proud history of providing the best 3G wireless network in the US and continues to update, upgrade, expand and improve it."
"Verizon's development of 4G LTE in 25 to 30 US metropolitan areas by the end of 2010 lays the groundwork for the next giant leap in user experience," Zadrozny says.
After the show, settling into a leather booth in the bus' forward lounge area, Glenn begins checking e-mail and the latest weather forecasts. "Out here on the road we get great connectivity," he says. "This is where my day starts and ends. Often I'll leave some work for the bus, and while we're moving I'll catch up on e-mails to friends and family."
Mobile broadband enables Glenn to conduct the band's business round-the-clock, whether on a mountain pass or in a congested city. "There's nothing I've run into that I can't send over the mobile network," Felton says. "It saves us money, time and paper, and we keep everyone happy and productive."

Neosho head volleyball coach Kerri Roy was ecstatic after Tuesday's match at Aurora. Not only did Roy's Lady Wildcats pick up their first victory of the season 28-26, 25-18, but her parents were also in the stands.
Oh, and she's also an Aurora native. So defeating her alma mater completed the triumvirate.
"I'm pumped," Roy exclaimed. "I told the girls that this is the first time, I believe, that we've beaten Aurora in the four years since I've been head coach here. "We came out playing really well in that first game and then had some mistakes."
Those mistakes allowed the Lady 'Houns to jump back in front after Neosho took an early lead. The Lady Wildcats kept clawing back, however, and eventually came away with a late win. With its backs against the wall, Roy challenged someone to step up for the team.
Brooke Stauffer answered that challenge.
"Brooke Stauffer stepped up to the plate," Roy said. "She changed the momentum of that game because of the way she was playing. Sam Duke had two or three really good pickups. It was exciting and a lot of fun to watch. We've got to be able to learn from tonight and try and make less mistakes against Joplin.
"Really though, I had no complaints after the game. I was so happy for the girls."
Stauffer and Morgan Rogers led the team with six kills each. Macy Smith followed with two blocks and Kennedy Lyerla added seven assists. Duke finished with 12 digs.
Aurora bested Neosho in the B game in three sets: 22-25, 25-14, 25-18.
Neosho (1-1) goes to Joplin at 5 p.m. Thursday.

Hepatitis Health Center
Longer Hepatitis C Treatment Best
July 11, 2007 -- Shortening treatment to less than six months does not appear to be a good strategy for patients with the most curable types of hepatitis C virus infection, new research suggests.
Patients with hepatitis C genotypes 2 and 3 who were treated for four months had lower cure rates and higher relapse rates than those treated for six months.
The study, which appears in tomorrow's New England Journal of Medicine, shows that longer treatment benefits even those with highly treatable hepatitis C, researcher Mitchell L. Shiffman, MD, tells WebMD.
"I tell patients if they can tolerate treatment and can stay on it for 24 weeks, they have a better chance of achieving the best possible outcome, which is a cure," he says.
Hepatitis C Treatment Strategies
Long-term infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver transplants in the United States. As many as 4 million Americans are infected, but most don't know it, experts say.
About 70% of infected Americans carry the genotype 1 form of hepatitis C, which tends to be less responsive to treatment than genotypes 2 and 3.
With aggressive treatment, nearly 80% of people with genotypes 2 or 3 achieve complete and sustained viral eradication, or cures, compared with about 40% to 45% of people carrying genotype 1 virus.
These days, most patients are treated with a long-acting version of the injected drug interferon along with the antiviral drug ribavirin.
The standard course of treatment for patients with the more treatable types of hepatitis C infection is half that of patients with genotype 1 hepatitis C -- 24 weeks compared with 48 weeks.
In several recent studies, it was reported that shortening treatment to four months and even three months had no impact on cure rates in hepatitis C genotype 2 or 3 patients.
In an effort to test these findings, Shiffman and colleagues from Virginia Commonwealth University compared outcomes among genotype 2 or 3 patients treated for four months and six months.
They report that 31% of patients treated with the shorter course of therapy eventually relapsed, compared with 18% of patients who got the full six months of treatment. Relapse was defined as having detectable levels of virus in the blood at follow-up despite complete viral eradication at the end of treatment.
Overall, 62% of patients treated for four months achieved sustained viral responses, compared with 70% of patients treated for six months.
Among patients who achieved complete viral responses within a month of starting treatment, 79% of those treated for four months achieved complete, sustained responses, compared to 85% of the patients treated for six months.

Ugolino, which was completed in 1861, marked the end of Carpeaux's studies at the French Academy in Rome. This masterly group is no longer the work of a student, a fact which did not escape the attention of either the French in Rome or the Parisian administrators of the French School of Fine Art, who supported the artist in this huge undertaking.
The subject is taken from Dante's Divine Comedy in which the poet describes Ugolino, the tyrant of Pisa chained and walled up in the Tower of Hunger with his offspring (Canto XXXIII). When his children see him gnawing his hands in despair, they offer themselves to be devoured out of filial piety.
The work acknowledges its debt to the great models of sculpture: the interlacing of bodies is inspired by a famous group of classical antiquity, Laocoon, in the Vatican Belvedere Palace; the musculature and Ugolino's expression recall Michelangelo. Each element has been the subject of many sketches and drafts combined in a twisted pyramid shape. It is possible to see in this despairing Ugolino Carpeaux the artist himself, already tormented by the act of creation, debt and the authorities.
The state commissioned a bronze in 1862 (Musée d'Orsay) from the 1861 plaster original. The example in the Petit Palais was patinated by Carpeaux himself in order to study the final appearance of the work before casting.

Reverdia starts its bio-succinic acid plant
17.12.2012 - Reverdia has started industrial production of bio-succinic acid at a new production plant with an annual capacity of 10,000 metric tons.
The joint venture between Dutch DSM NV and French starch producer Roquette Frères has begun operations in Cassano Spinola, Italy, at a commercial-scale plant producing Biosuccinium™ sustainable succinic acid. The company said the plant, which has a capacity of about 10,000 tonnes/yr, was unique in its kind, being the world's first dedicated large-scale plant for the production of succinic acid from renewable resources. However, according to US-based BioAmber Inc, which fused BioAmber SAS and US company DNP Green Technology in 2010, it has been producing the chemical building block at 4,000 tonnes/yr since 2009.
Both producers rely on genetically engineered E.coli strains for producing the compound, that is being used to make bioplastics, chemical internmediates such as 1,4 butanediol, solvents, coatings, and phthalate-free plasticisers. As the market for bio-based succinic acid is expected to grow rapidly in the next few years, other joint-ventures such as Succinity or US-based Myriant Inc. are building production facilities. Reverdia will market its bio-succinium in collaboration with Helm.

I have seen the kids picking this up from their MLB stars. Although I have not seen anything 6 inches long. Maybe the pinky leather ties undone and both hanging at 3 inches each? I do nothing here.
If it were 6 inches long as you say, I could adopt the "distracting in any manner" clause in the rules. 1.15 (a)
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!
There is no rule on the allowed length of loose laces on gloves. As NELL_blue mentioned, it's simply a matter of umpire judgment whether or not it becomes distracting. And quite frankly, I can't imagine that a 6" length of lace is distracting to anybody but the opposing manager.
This post jumped to my mind last night, as I was at a District game. The 2nd pitcher on the home team had on his glove the pinky retention leather straps were untied and dangling free.
At the wind up, and the set position they were not visible to the batter as they were laying against the glove. When they became visible was when he pushed the glove toward the plate, and at that time a batter should be looking at the release point of the other hand, or looking for it. So after watching for 2 innings last night, I think that there was no distraction. BUT, these were not 6 inches long, nore like one was 3.5" and the other 3". I wouldn't waste my time with this as being a distraction.
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!
I've seen things on pitchers that would constitute more of a distraction than loose glove laces. They include flourescent-colored shoe laces, long flowing hair (had a kid on the mound of the 9-10 game I did last night who had bleach blond hair down to his shoulders), multi-colored jerseys, etc. All of those are perfectly legal, so I don't buy how loose glove laces are distracting.

The Teva Mountain Games in Vail has lost its title sponsor for winter and appears to be moving forward without the shoe brand for its popular summer event.
Born in the Vail Valley in 2002, the summer Teva Mountain Games have grown into an international showcase of adventure sports like kayaking, rock climbing and mountain biking, drawing 3,000 athletes and more than 40,000 spectators.
Last February the event branched into winter sports, with ice climbing, ski mountaineering and snow biking.
The Vail Valley Foundation, which acquired the Teva Mountain Games from founder and now Teva president Joel Heath in 2008, announced Tuesday that the "Winter Mountain Games" were returning next February with a dozen winter sports and concerts. Absent from the announcement was the name Teva. The new website address for the summer and winter events - mountaingames.com - is suddenly Teva-free too.
"The approach for us was to put more effort in supporting our athletes on our brand in 2013," said Teva spokeswoman Jaime Eschette, discussing only Teva's athlete-focused decision to remove itself from title sponsorship of the winter games.
While not openly discussed, Teva is out for summer, too, according to sources familiar with the games.

The exhibit includes three artists, Avantika Bawa, Heidi Schwegler and Matt McCormick. Bawa uses the history and geography behind the formation of Emigrant Lake as the conceptual parameters from which her installation, "Flood.Control," is created. With "Visibility Near Zero," Schwegler modifies discarded objects in order to give them a new sense of purpose. Filmmaker McCormick's "The Great Northwest" includes photos, ephemera and a 70-minute documentary re-creating the 3,200 mile road-trip throughout the Pacific Northwest made in 1958 by four Seattle women.
The exhibit runs through May. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Call 541-552-6245 or see sma.sou.edu.

Jennie Rodriguez-Moore">
STOCKTON - A criminal grand jury Tuesday returned one of the largest indictments in recent county history, charging nearly two dozen Norte�o members and their associates implicated in a five-month investigation with drug trafficking, gun and gang charges.
"This might be the largest single indictment in the last five years," San Joaquin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Ron Freitas said.
The case is the result of Operation Family Feud, a multiagency sweep in November leading to 39 arrests and the confiscation of high-powered firearms, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine.
"This was a wiretap investigation that expanded far and beyond," county Deputy District Attorney Caitlin Casey said. "There were a lot of people responsible for trafficking drugs and guns."
Fifteen in-custody defendants were escorted into a courtroom packed with friends and relatives late Tuesday afternoon.
Officials are still investigating seven other people connected to the case.
Another eight defendants who had been detained during the operation were indicted in November. Charges were dropped for a few of the detainees.
The raids targeted Norte�os ("Northerners") on the heels of rising violence among Norte�o gangs. Some of them, Casey said, had been planning to carry out vicious crimes, including an armed robbery, before authorities cracked down on them.
Some have prior or pending charges against them. All face varied state prison terms.
Arrests were made by the Stockton, Manteca and Lodi police departments; the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office; the California Highway Patrol; the FBI; the U.S. Marshals Service; the state Department of Justice; and the state Parole and Corrections Team.
Operation Family Feud was similar to Tracy's Operation Gateway, which culminated with the arrests of 30 Norte�os. Those defendants were indicted in sets of 10.
Prosecutors say putting offenders behind bars from the latest operation is a step toward making the community safe. "We're hoping there are some public safety and deterrence factors at play," Casey said.

The Grinch stole Christmas for one South Augusta family. A burglar broke into their home off Scott Road and stole presents from under the tree. News 12 is on your side with how to protect your home, because police say holiday crimes can happen anywhere.
Shuntel Jennings and her three kids came home from the Augusta Christmas Parade earlier this month to find $1,500 worth of presents stolen.
"My tree was tossed and stuff was everywhere and all the gifts was gone, they was all gone," Jennings said.
Church and friends are chipping in to get presents for Shuntel's three children. But she's been scared for their safety ever since it happened.
"I couldn't even rest at night, I think I stayed up the whole night," Jennings said.
And Lt. Tony Walden says burglaries like this are common during the holidays, and it can happen anywhere.
"You can deter them, but can you actually stop them? Not if they're determined," Lt. Walden said.
According to the incident report, the perpetrator kicked the back door in, something police say is easy to do.
So they recommend strong deadbolts and doors made of thick wood or metal. And always be aware of who may be watching.
"Somebody had to see me come in with my packages," Jennings said.
Her house was the only one robbed on the street. But she's not letting it get her down.
"I trust in God and we're gonna be alright, and He's gonna make a way. They can take our presents, but they can't take away our spirit," Jennings said.
Presents are no match for the time she can spend with her loved ones this holiday season. Police are still tracking down leads, but they don't have anything yet.
If you want to help the Jennings family out, you can call Shuntel at 706-798-9150.

Netherlands, 2013, 87 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Dark Comedy, Drama, Social IssuesLanguage: Dutch English Sub-Titles
Writer-director Diederik Ebbinge's first theatrical feature follows devout Calvinist widower Fred (Ton Kas) as he goes about his tedious, heavily regimented routine. As he takes on another ordinary day, Fred spots a familiar drifter, Theo (Rene van 't Hof), whom he accuses of conning a neighbor. Realizing that the mentally impaired Theo is truly needy, the lonely Fred brings the homeless stranger into his home, dourly offering him a meal and bed (in a measure of his slightly defective Christian charity). As Matterhorn progresses, the two men establish a disciplined daily schedule with the childlike, nearly silent Theo imperfectly copying his glum host.
Waking after an epic binge, Fred discovers Theo outside, dressed in his dead wife's clothes as he is tormented by the neighborhood children. Graffiti reading "Sodom and Gomorrah" follows, as does Theo's mistaken belief that Fred has asked him to marry—something Theo agrees to, and about which he later boasts to a nosy neighbor. Fred, too, agrees to the union, despite both his and Theo's heterosexual pasts. Ultimately, Fred's family history, one that involves an estranged son, will provide some degree of explanation for his sudden shift of proclivities. It will also add an unexpected psychological complexity to this otherwise farcical queer comedy.
Combining gay-themed comedy, a mentally impaired protagonist, and a feeling for the flat local landscape, Matterhorn provides an especially representative and even more entertaining entry into this year's Dutch film spotlight.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Helping Your Teen Become a Safe Driver
Most parents are nervous about their teenager driving a
car. As a parent, you are right in your concern. While teenagers only account
for 6% of all drivers (6 out of 100), young drivers ages 15 to 20 are
involved in 13% of fatal crashes (13 out of 100).footnote 1
Most teens learn to drive by taking driver's
education classes. While teens are
learning to drive, they need to get as much experience as possible with another
adult in the car. Not all parents have the temperament to do this, though. If
you find yourself screaming at your teen or making sarcastic remarks, ask
another adult family member or friend to help out.
Don't let your
teen drive alone—even after he or she gets a license—until your teen has had
enough experience and until you as a parent feel comfortable with your teen's
driving skills. Also, make sure your teen has enough supervised experience
driving in adverse conditions, such as rain or snow or at night, before you
allow him or her to drive in these conditions unsupervised.
things about driving that parents need to emphasize:
Remember to always set a good example for your child.

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: Season 5, Episode 21 'Promised Land'
This week's episode of Vampire Diaries starts with a new favorite game…A witch hunt – well, sort of. Damon's captured one of Markos' travelers, who occupies one of the Mystic Falls natives' body. They need to find where Markos has taken Stefan and Elena before the spell is complete, which would completely undo witch magic – aka our favorite group of vampires/Bonnie would be in some serious trouble.
The only problem is, the hostage traveler has some bad news for Damon…apparently it's too late. Markos cannot be stopped, whether they find him or not. Surely this can't be true.
In the next scene, we see poor Elena and Stefan being held hostage as well – and boy do they look bad. Luckily Stefan is able to break free from this "doppelknap" (coined by Damon) and he scolds Damon for not being able to find them for four days. No worries though, Stefan and Elena will find their way back, he assures his brother.
Well, right at the end of that phone call Damon's in for another surprise. Enzo is back with Bonnie and he's demanding his debt be repaid. Liv is creating a spell that will keep Bonnie from being drawn back once the Other Side is destroyed and Enzo wants in…this should get interesting.
Back to Stefan and Elena. The pair is actually hiking their way back home, but the problem is they have barely any of their strength post-Markos torturing. Elena is even having thoughts of human blood – luckily, Stefan stops these thoughts in their track; he even starts to convince her to take Damon back. Hmm…
In other news, the two new witchy brother and sister duo has finally admitted they messed up. Well, to each other at least. They were supposed to keep the doppelgangers from Markos to preserve the Other Side. Now that they've failed, they think there's only one option – they have to kill Stefan and Elena.
As if this isn't bad enough – Now we're starting to get a glimpse into the rest of Mystic Falls who has been taken over by the travelers. One woman, well really traveler named Carl, even confides to her husband that she can't believe it took this long for him to realize something was up. Carl tells him he's been occupying his wife's body, and right before the husband can contest…"she" stabs him. Yikes!
Looks like Damon is going to try and take matters into his own hands – he's started collecting the fine citizens of Mystic Falls that have been taken over to see what he can find out. Nevertheless, this group has much bigger problems than Damon's torture chamber. Stefan and Elena have been picked up by the crazy woman/Carl and are hitch hiking back into town. This can't end well…
Let's return to the Damon thing though – Caroline has decided to take advantage of the situation and is interrogating Tyler, or at least the traveler who has taken his body. Unfortunately, she doesn't get much from him, but Damon does succeed in ticking Markos off – he's back and finds his gang of travelers missing.
Before we get to that reaction – Caroline has a novel idea. Now she wants to kill Tyler…apparently she thinks this will "knock" the traveler out of him. Bonnie, whom she talks about this idea with, shuts her down almost immediately – and in her frustration, sbe finally reveals the big secret. There is no spell to protect her – she's going to have to go back to the Other Side once it falls…and there's no getting around it. Talk about dropping a bomb.
Okay, I'll get back to the Markos/Damon thing now. Turns out Damon hasn't found all of the travelers in his gang. Markos claims his people are everywhere and no one even knows it – even further, he will not give up on creating this promise land. All travelers are willing to give up their life to make sure this spell is broken.
"You underestimate me," Markos warns Damon. "You're not strong enough to kill me now. Not that it matters, the spell has already begun."
Oh goodness – and now for a real downer. Liv and her witch brother have found Stefan and Elena and killed their traveler escort. Looks like it's going to be a showdown after all!
Back at the Salvatore house, Damon is still trying to distract Markos and even offers to take him to the family wine cellar – but really it's all a ploy to give Tyler a key to escape. Hope that doesn't backfire…
Looks like Markos really wasn't kidding though – the spell has truly begun. All of the citizens of Mystic Falls have congregated in the town square and it looks like Liv may be too late to kill the doppelgangers anyway. Is Markos seriously about to win? This just can't be true.
Elena and Stefan escape, but not before their skin starts to burn from the sun – looks like this spell also counteracts their protection rings. Luckily, they run into The Grill and find Matt, who just might be able to hide them.
So the town citizens are now dropping like flies – as they continue reciting the spell, they slowly start falling to the ground as if they were dead. I really am starting to think our gang isn't going to make it in time…then, of course, Markos confirms my worries. Once the sun has set, it's game over, he tells Damon. Now what?
Later that evening, Damon makes his way to the road and meets Jeremy. Not sure what they're up to yet, but Bonnie appears to have a new plan. She just has to find Maria, who can help them on the Other Side, and she's sent Enzo to find her.
In this fury of events, Damon and Elena are reunited and this time it calls for a celebratory kiss (cue the Delena fans' applause). This excitement may be short lived though – Enzo isn't successful in bringing her back and now they'll have to tell her husband, occupying Tyler's body – sadly, he doesn't take the news so well and something unbelievable happens…he kills Stefan!
Just as I'm thinking there is no way this can be happening – my worst nightmare is confirmed. Stefan shows up to pass through Bonnie…and with that, the nation of Vampire Diaries fans (including myself) weep…

I am beginning to enjoy my re-acquaintance with my little ring. Of all the bike parts on my ride, it used to be that the little ring was the bike part that got used the least. I just carried it around on the bike just in case one day I needed it to get up a steep. Living in Texas, even the Texas Hill Country, I found that the little didnt get used much. I have been on a 2 x 9 drivetrain for a long time and biggest ring up front is a 38. So with a 34 on the back, i found very few occasions that i needed to drop down from the big ring. Since our shop is located close the trails at McAlister Park, that is where i would ride most of the time. Most that have ridden Mac as it is known to the locals, know that it is very fast and very flat, so the big ring was the only ring that got used there. The race venues did hit some trails that required a few more gears, but only in a very few select spots. So there it is. My little ring. Almost new still. I never liked the way the chain sounded when it was in the middle ring. It would slap the chainstay on the downhills and make too much noise. So i would leave it in the big ring almost all the time. I was thinking of just going 1×10. But then I moved to Utah.
I am enjoying getting reacquainted with my little ring. I like having that option when faced with the decision right at the trailhead. Most good trails over here start out with a climb. At first i wasn't thrilled about this, and would seek out trails that didnt go straight up from the trailhead. I would go out of my way get to a trail that didn't go straight up. However, lately i am finding myself actually enjoying starting out on a climb. I like the fact that you get warmed up pretty quickly if you start out on a climb. I like the fact that i have a little ring that i can just spin an easy gear for the first 15 minutes or so while i climb up to the main trail. I am liking that an average ride around here is 1500 to 2000 feet of climbing. I am liking that i feel like i got a really good workout on even a shorter ride in time duration. I am really liking my little ring. I think i am going buy me a new little ring to celebrate my re-acquaintance. read more

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
Secondly, congrats on your pasta maker! I have a KA, too, and can't wait to buy one. I just bought the slicer/shredder attachment this weekend and have used it a few times already. I have owned the icecream boot, oh for maybe 1.5 years and just LOVE IT! I made the Veganomicon Vanilla icecream in it and it was AMAZING! It whipped up/firmed up like a dream!
I love your blog and read it daily! Thanks so much for sharing your trials and triumphs with your food!

Hey Happy Birthday! I got a pasta maker for mine last year, and I can attest to the success of Bryanna's recipe. I love her.

The Bryanna recipe is the way! I have limited fresh pasta experience, but her recipe was a total success.

ooo... please share the vegan fresh pasta recipe if you are able... that sounds fantastic...

Oh boy, am I jealous!! I have the pasta extruder attachment which is more trouble than it's worth.

I have the Kitchen Aid attacment and I love it. I've used the recipe that comes with the attachment, and subbed ground flax seeds for the eggs. I had plans to use some Ener-G Egg Replacer for some pasta tomorrow......I'll see how it goes.
I've used my attacment a few times and once I got perfect pasta, once it was mushy.......Honestly I think it has a lot to do with how long you cook it.

Have I mentioned that you rock??! Not to you, of course we don't know each other, but I have to everyone in LA, anyone who even blinks vegan. You have inspired me day after day. On this one, however, I am happy to say, you are 1 day behind.
Last night I made lasagna with fresh noodles inspired by Millennium Restaurant's cookbook, The Artful Vegan. I don't even have a pasta roller, so I just did it by hand, and it was fantastic. Why did I ever buy hard-as-nails pasta before?
And then, while the lasagna was in the oven, I made ice cream, from Post Punk Kitchen's recipe, using the homemade soy milk I had on hand from last week and some Newman O's. Delicious! (I did have the KitchenAide attachment for that.)
Anyway, wanted to say, Happy Birthday. And thanks for the recipes.

Happy Birthday Vegan Dad! The pasta looks lovely. I can't wait for the recipe. I wish I had a Kichenaid mixer so that I could buy a pasta attachment for it. That's alot of expensive buying I realize. haha

Happy belated Birthday!
Fresh usually beats packaged & your fresh pasta looks really yummy. And you can't go too wrong with portobellas..

- Binx said...
If the recipe you used originally called for eggs and you make it vegan, the cooking time needs to be decreased drastically. I've found it cooks best in only about a minute or so. Even 3 minutes overcooks it! (Hence the mushiness). Trial and error is the only way to do it!

Happy Birthday!
That pasta looks awesome!

Oh yeah, you -definitely- need to get the icecream maker attachment! I have an icecream maker and I absolutely love it. Nothing like fresh icecream. I'm not 100% vegan, but I wouldn't touch regular icecream with a ten foot pole after making my own vegan icecream

I'm a bit behind the curve (just catching up on blog reading) but I'll join the chorus with a "Happy Birthday!" Thirty-three? A mere babe!! (And a prodigy-babe, I'd say, given this amazing website. . . ). Congrats and here's to many more years (and years of blogging). :)

Happy (late) birthday!!!
Your pasta looks great -- it doesn't look mushy at all.
I just received a pasta maker, and I have yet to try it. I'll have to google Bryanna's recipe.

Do you have Voluptuous Vegan? It's a great cookbook, and she has a couple of delicious vegan pasta recipes in there. They're both associated with ravioli recipes, but you could just as easily make the pasta on its own. I've done it both ways (raviolis and plain pasta), always with great results... and I don't even have a fancy pancy pasta machine!
Happy birthday!

Girls Soccer
NORTH MEDFORD 1, GRANTS PASS 0 — At Grants Pass, Amanda Hisey's spectacular one-person run yielded the only goal of the day as North Medford closed to within a half-game of South Medford in the SOH standings with two league games to go.
Hisey took control of a ball that was cleared out of North's zone near midfield, headed it ahead to herself then dribbled through the Grants Pass defense, fending off a pair of Cavers' defenders before firing off a low shot from 18 yards away.
The win was the fourth in a row for North (7-3-1, 5-1 SOH), which hosts Roseburg on Tuesday before the rematch with South. Grants Pass fell to 1-6-2 overall, 1-5 in league play.

The Eagle Valley Humane Society is giving you a reason to break out your powder blue tuxedo.
It's a prom featuring 1950s music and everything that goes with it, and all the money goes to the Humane Society's efforts to place pets in homes and provide veterinary care.
So we're calling it the Pet Prom.
"It's a great chance to have fun and support the organization," said Char Quinn with the Eagle Valley Humane Society.
While Elvis will NOT be in the building, the Fabulous Femmes will be doing the music.
The Humane Society does all sorts of unique fundraising events, but this is their first Pet Prom. Board member Donna Griffin came up with the idea.
"It's been exciting the way it has all come together. We're looking forward to making this an annual event," Quinn said.
The Eagle Valley Humane Society was established in 1973 to address the needs of homeless animals in Eagle County, and the limited animal control services available at that time.
These days, the Humane Society remains the local leader in public outreach programs that affect both people and animals by helping prevent cruelty to animals, enforcement of animal cruelty laws, helping homeless animals get adopted, and preventing pet overpopulation through spay and neuter programs.

LANSING -- A new WILX/EPIC-MRA poll released Thursday shows GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is gaining ground on President Obama among Michigan voters.
When asked how they would vote in the presidential election if it were held today, 46 percent of the state's respondents said they would vote for Romney; 45 percent picked Obama. That's within the margin of error of +/- 4 percent, placing the two in a statistical tie for the country's top job.
When asked the same question in April of this year, 43 percent took Romney to 47 percent said Obama, suggesting the lackluster jobs numbers over the past two months have begun to cut into the president's popularity in the state.
"I would point to the very large amount of advertising spent against Obama by the Super PACs, as well as the disappointing unemployment figures," said John Cavanagh, the EPIC-MRA pollster who helped conduct the poll.
It's got Michigan's Republicans feeling confident.
"This poll just demonstrates how weak Barack Obama is in Michigan," said Matt Frendewey, spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party. "It shows a trend that -- the more Mitt Romney is able to make his case, the better he'll do."
Still, Romney has work to do. When told about his opposition to the auto bailout, 39 percent of respondents said it made them less likely to vote for the Republican contender; just 18 percent said it made them more likely to.
Asked to take into account Romney's stance on the auto bailout, 46 percent said they would vote for Obama; 45 percent for Romney.
"Mitt Romney, I think, has got to figure out a better way to deal with that issue, or it's going to haunt him between now and November," said Bill Ballenger, editor of "Inside Michigan Politics."
Obama's favorability numbers also beat Romney's in the poll: 46 percent said they have a favorable opinion of the president; 41 percent said they have a favorable opinion of Romney.

YouTube prankster Vitaly Zdorovetskiy — he of the incredibly ill-advised "Miami Zombie Attack Prank" and that nasty BangBros porn (NSFW) where he desperately tried to get it up but couldn't — is back by popular demand with a special April Fools' Day prank.
"Decided to prank my mom so simply by just telling her I am addicted to drugs," Zdorovetskiy writes, "and it turned out to be the best reaction ever."
If by "best reaction ever" he means frightening his poor put-upon and overworked mother to the point where she is left with no other recourse but to try and physically beat some sense into her miscreant offspring both before and after his purely evil prank, then yes.
Best ever.

SANTA CLARA — Colin Kaepernick statistically, at least, turned in the worst game of his brief NFL career against the Seattle Seahawks, yet coach Jim Harbaugh praised his starting quarterback Monday.
"He played the best and was the most productive person we had on offense," Harbaugh said of Kaepernick during his weekly news conference.
Kaepernick completed only 13 of 28 passes for 127 yards and no touchdowns. The Seahawks intercepted three of Kaepernick's passes, including one in the end zone, and sacked Kaepernick three times. Kaepernick finished with a passer rating of 20.1.
"I'm not disappointed in the way Colin played at all," Harbaugh said. "He did what he could."
Harbaugh pointed out that both quarterbacks struggled as a result of playing against two of the league's best defenses.
Sure enough, Seattle's Russell Wilson misfired on all six passes before the game was delayed an hour because of lightning, and he had one of his 19 passes intercepted and got sacked four times.
Kaepernick also rushed for a team-high 87 yards on only nine carries. Running backs Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and Anthony Dixon amassed 13 yards on 11 carries combined.
