This was classic Steve Ott.
An early goal, an assist on Thomas Vanek's buzzer-beating tying tally and a complete third-period agitation that helped turn around a game going nowhere. It made for a full night for Buffalo's pesty winger in the Sabres' 5-4 shootout win Thursday over Montreal.
Ott averaged 16 goals a season the last four years for the Dallas Stars but had not scored here since notching the season's first goal Jan. 20 against Philadelphia. No. 2 came Thursday at 4:26 of the first period after a neat feed from Jochen Hecht.
Ott's biggest contribution, however, was taking a couple of punches from Montreal's Ryan White at 7:32 of the third period. The Habs were holding a comfortable 4-2 lead and the Sabres were doing little but agitating their fans.
After a brief collision with Ott, White wanted retribution as the pair skated near the Buffalo bench. White dropped the gloves and starting punching. Ott simply dropped.
No penalty on Ott, four minutes for roughing on White. Just 25 seconds later, Thomas Vanek had a power-play goal and the Sabres were back in business.
"I try to be physical. Obviously he thought I wanted to engage or something," Ott said. "We got a lucky couple power plays and the power play went to work right away which was awesome. If I'm helping contribute any way to help this team win, that's what I'm here for. We all have roles. We all have jobs to do. We did our jobs tonight."
"Obviously it was just a selfish play," White admitted. "I thought he went kind of low on me and that's what he does. He's a good player at that, he's smart at what he does out there. I just kind of reacted the wrong way."
Ott said he was taken by surprise but didn't know what White's motivation was.
"I don't really care and I don't know," he said. "Obviously when you get jumped, anybody is kind of shocked. It's hockey. We're battling in the third period and I thought the refs made a great call there."
"We know that's what he's good at doing," said coach Lindy Ruff. "That did give us some momentum and got us a goal. ... He got a big goal for us, drew four minutes. It was a big effort."
Marcus Foligno did most of the dirty work on Vanek's tying goal, coming out of the corner and jamming the puck to the net. Ott and Tyler Ennis touched the puck before Vanek so they got assists.
Foligno and Ruff both said the goal was oddly reminiscent of Buffalo's tying goal in the final 70 seconds of an overtime win here last April against Toronto, one finally poked home by Jordan Leopold much the same way Vanek pushed the puck in Thursday.
Foligno never saw that one, however, as Leafs defenseman Mike Komisarek had a knee on his head and pinned him to the ice.
"It was a similar play but my face wasn't getting pounded this time," said a smiling Foligno. "It was a desperation play when you drive to the net and throw pucks to the paint. ... We had guys keep whacking at it to take [goaltender Peter Budaj's] vision away so that was really good."
The return of Christian Ehrhoff from a one-game absence prompted the Sabres to shuffle their defense corps. Ehrhoff missed Tuesday's game in Ottawa with an undisclosed muscle strain but was fine Thursday. Buffalo's ice time leader was averaging 23:54 entering the game and played 27:40 Thursday. That was his second-highest total of the season.
"I was well prepared for this season," Ehrhoff said. "I got a lot of ice time in Germany [during the lockout] and for me, this feels like the middle of the season. I just had to make some adjustments when I came back for the smaller ice surface."
Adam Pardy was a healthy scratch on defense even though he was relatively solid playing with Tyler Myers in his debut with the Sabres on Tuesday. Andrej Sekera and Robyn Regehr, both nursing ankle injuries, took the morning skate fully and Ruff said it's possible they could play this weekend.
The Sabres have canceled their practice here today and will try to fly to New York to get ahead of the winter storm expected to pummel the East. They have instead scheduled practice in Nassau Coliseum. The team had hoped to fly out immediately after Thursday's game but could not get a plane.

BLOSSBURG - In an about-face Monday, with all members in attendance, the Southern Tioga School board decided to reject the bids for its original plan of reconstructing North Penn High School and renovating Blossburg Elementary School and instead asked its architect to create a new design for a grades seven through 12 high school in Blossburg.
Following a presentation by Sam Scarantino, architect with Quad 3, who explained that the state Department of Education would not require them to resubmit their PlanCon documents as long as they treated the project as being for two separate schools, the board voted 8-1 to reject the current bids, which came in high, close to what it has left in its bond issue of more than $18 million.
In the vote, board members Bob McConnell, Barb Shull, Ivan Erway, Stephen Hall, Sue Jaquish, Sally Knipe, Frank Kollar and Kyle Lefheloc all voted in favor of rejecting the bids.
Only board member Dan Berguson voted against rejecting the bids, saying he is concerned if they rebid the project with a reduced scope of work to create the scenario recommended by Superintendent Keith Yarger and his administration, the next bids to come in may be much higher.
The board then voted unanimously to allow Scarantino to work up a design for a $3 million to $4 million less project at North Penn that would make it a 7-12 high school, with minimal work done to the elementary school portion of the building so it still may be used by the district, just not as an elementary school.
Jaquish wanted to know how it would affect the construction timeline to close another school, as it would have to be advertised, a public hearing held and the staff notified, all well in advance of closing the school.
Berguson said it would take at least 165 days, giving the board a little more than two weeks to close the school and reassign students before the next school year begins.
Prior to the vote, during the public comment section, several people from Liberty and Cogan House townships spoke, including Dorothy Norman, of Liberty Township, who accused five on the board of pushing the project through to save the North Penn football program.
Norman told the board that the community gathers at Liberty High School as a focal point for a rural area.
"We come together to our rural school as a community. We are not worried about football or basketball, which is not running our school or influencing our votes," she said. "You can't tell me this isn't influencing some of you."
Todd Smith, of Cogan House Township, asked the board to "keep economic factors in mind" as it moves forward.
"I am convinced this country will be facing a recession next year. I hope I am wrong. I also read today that Gov. (Tom) Corbett said the state will lose $300 million in revenue next year. I don't think we will get more money for education. It will be either flat-lined or, sadly, less. With that in mind, I have trouble understanding why anyone wants to go into more debt," he said.
Smith also warned the board that if Cogan House Township, for instance, was to secede from the district, it would lose 11 percent of its revenue.
"There are a lot of angry people here. All it would take is for one township to secede. All it takes is another school board to accept it and the secretary of education to approve it," Smith said.
The board will meet Jan. 7 for a work session at North Penn High School's auditorium.

Some lucky mothers may start this morning with omelets made with organic eggs and fresh asparagus, locally smoked bacon on the side and toasted honey-wheat bread.
Or, they could have a link of sausage and cream-topped yogurt – also both local – followed by a bite of an almond bear claw.
Fresh flowers might be on the table or tray to brighten their Mother's Day morning, with a hanging basket in full blossom waiting on the porch.
These moms have "farmers' market families," the kind who like their food fresh and local, and their shopping social.
It is spring and, along with the radishes and rhubarb, the region's farmers' markets are sprouting up and spreading out.
The Elmwood-Bidwell market and the one in Lancaster returned for the season Saturday. Those in Hamburg and Blasdell opened a week ago. The North Tonawanda market is open year round but attracting far more farmers this time of year. Buffalo's Downtown Market comes back Thursday, and Williamsville's begins next Sunday.
Despite a dreary chill in the air, customers were out early Saturday on the lawn on Bidwell Parkway.
"This is a hardy neighborhood," said Laurie Hogan, a seller at the Great Harvest Bread stall. She said customers come out in all kinds of weather and have grown to know one another well.
"Especially in the summer, people will line up for their muffins to go with their coffee," she said.
Owner Craig Locke said he brings the hearty stuff to this market, where the "healthier" breads are especially popular.
"We have flax bread, honey whole wheat, pumpernickel – those are all seen as healthy – and we make one with seven grains and five seeds that we call 'Woodstock,' " Locke said.
However, they also make sticky buns as big as a baseball cap, which Hogan said sell well around Father's Day.
At the Weiss Farm Producers stand, Tony Weiss and his crew framed the fresh produce with fragrant lilac branches. Saturday, they brought in from their East Eden farm pearly white spring onions, crisp fresh leeks and small bunches of well-scrubbed ramps for $3, as well as rhubarb and asparagus.
"We'll have strawberries in a couple of weeks," Weiss said, for those who would rather buy a basket than go out to his U-pick farm. (Those who do make that trip get to see the donkeys and emus, which the kids always like, Weiss said.)
After the berries, shoppers will start seeing the farm's pack of peppers – 25 varieties. Weiss said the poblanos are particularly popular and preferred by local chefs.
Janice Johnson, thrilled that the market had returned, comes from Riverside to do her weekly food shopping and said she was not put off at all by the damp weather.
She knows many of the vendors by name, "and they are all wonderful," she said, pointing out where she buys her eggs, bacon, cheese and bread – which was the Five Points Bakery booth, where her daughter also works.
One person she greeted was Bonnie George of Painted Meadows Farm, who sells all sorts of eggs, free-range poultry and rabbit at the market. Surrounded by coolers, and with a freezer in her truck in case she runs out, George explains to customers what is in a combo-dozen: that would be four each of chicken, duck and turkey eggs. People with tinier appetites might try a carton of the small gray speckled quail eggs.
"I recycle the cartons if you want to bring them back," George reminds one customer.
Nearby, shopper Mary Claire Vivian was just polishing off a purchase.
"We live down the street and I wanted an apple turnover," Vivian said, with a smile that said mission accomplished. "To me, it was really exciting that the market was going to open today."
The weather did keep some regulars away. Keelan Darling of Freedom, owner of Darling Bee products, said she was setting up her "rainy weather table" Saturday because she had to leave the bees at home. "I usually bring a hive," Darling said, "but they don't like to come out when it's wet."
She did bring the fruit of their labor, however: filtered honey (the amber supermarket-style sweetener, which is heated and strained); raw honey, a thicker, milkier product taken fresh from the hive, which has chunkier sugar crystals, more wax and perhaps the odd bee part; and creamed honey, processed with extra sugar for smaller crystals and smoother texture.
The lawn between the booths was dotted with strollers, dogs and couples carrying coffee and looking for a few goodies to carry home, while a lone guitarist strummed quietly under a tree.
Things were a little busier later in the morning at the year-round market in North Tonawanda, on Robinson Street at Payne Avenue. Even the sausage, pastries and canned goods look brighter now that the flowers and homegrown vegetables are added to the picture.
Kirk Canfield of Wilson was overseeing a virtual field of tender asparagus spears. He said he'll have asparagus to sell for about six weeks; then come the peas and the beans, followed by the flood of summer vegetables.
The Seaberts of Seabert Farms in Lockport – a three-generation operation – also only sell what they grow, and Saturday it was bunches of bright red radishes, and bundles of spinach and scallions.
"Next week we'll have lettuce," Deb Seabert said.
They also were among several vendors advising customers who were buying flats of plants and hanging baskets that it isn't summer yet. Plants should be kept under cover for a few days, or they could be nipped by frost early this week.
But no one appeared in a big rush to plant. The mood was relaxed, as shoppers walked behind strollers, and strolled behind walkers, bags slung over their arms, noshing on slices of tomato pie, or collecting rich pastries from Tombak's Bakery to treat Mom, or themselves.
Regulars on both sides of the tables greeted one another by name, and many accepted Hershey's kisses from William Trump, who said he comes by every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to sweeten things up.
In the background, "Musical Mark" Swogier, a self-taught musician, entertained with his accordion near a garden of potted shrubs. "I'm 51, and I've been playing for 42 years," Swogier said. He said he plays at the market just to entertain people and because, like for so many others around him, it's a perfect place to spend a Saturday morning.

Breastfeeding Your Premature Infant in the NICU
Breastfeeding Your Infant in the NICU
For a time, your baby will be cared for in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). But you don't need to wait until your baby is home to start breastfeeding. Breast milk is the best food for your baby. It gives your baby the best nutrition, and it contains immune factors (substances that help the baby fight off infection). In fact, the milk you produce after a premature birth is tailored to the needs of a preemie. Breastfeeding can help you bond with your baby. It allows you to be more involved in your baby's care. You may not be able to supply all of your baby's food. But any amount of breast milk is better than none. Even if your baby is too small to breastfeed, pumped breast milk can be fed to your baby or frozen for future use. Your baby may also be fed breast milk with special supplements added. Before you breastfeed, tell your doctor or nurse about any medications you are taking.
How Do I Start and Maintain My Milk Supply?
Normally, breastfeeding stimulates the breasts to produce more milk. If your baby is not yet able to suckle, you can use a breast pump to start your milk supply and keep it going. The milk you collect can be given to your baby. Pumping will also help later when you begin breastfeeding. Pumping enough to keep your milk supply going takes work and commitment. You'll need to start soon after the birth. If you don't, it can be difficult or impossible to get a milk supply going later. Starting to pump right away gives you more options for feeding your baby.
Guidelines for Pumping
Begin as soon as possible after birth.
Pump 8–10 times per each 24 -hour period.
Empty the breasts with each pumping.
Try not to go more than 6 hours without pumping.
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the breast pump or collection kit.
Be sure to rest and get plenty of fluids. This will help maintain your milk supply.
Unless told otherwise, use a hospital-grade electric pump. These can be rented for use at home.
To pump from both breasts at the same time (double pump), use a double milk-collection kit that attaches to the breast pump. Double pumping increases prolactin, the hormone that stimulates your breasts to produce milk. It also saves time.
Massage the breasts before pumping and again during the final minutes of pumping. This helps stimulate "let-down" of the milk.
Start with a low pump setting and increase it as you get used to the feel of pumping.
Storing Breast Milk
It's best for your baby to be given fresh breast milk that has just been pumped. But sometimes this isn't practical. If so, frozen breast milk is the next best thing. To store breast milk:
Use sterile containers. An NICU nurse can provide these or tell you where to get them.
Label each bottle as instructed by the nurse. Unless told otherwise, you should write the baby's name, the date and time the milk was pumped, whether the milk was fresh or frozen. Also list any medications you are taking.
Don't mix milk from different pumping sessions unless told to do so.
Keep storage times in mind. Hospitals may have their own process for storing human breast milk for hospitalized infants. In general, the following storage times are recommended for NICU patients:
Room temperature
77°F to 79°F
25°C to 27°C
Use within 4 hours
35°F to 40°F
1°C to 4°C
Use between 4 and 48 hours is ideal,
but storing up to 96 hours is acceptable
0°F to 4°F
-18°C to -20°C
Use between 48 hours and 3 months
Getting Started with Breastfeeding
Before your baby is ready to breastfeed, you may start with non-nutritive (practice) breastfeeding. This means putting the baby to the breast to suckle, without expecting the baby to feed. This can help the baby learn to suckle. It helps your baby's digestion. It can also help you bond with your baby. And it may help prevent or overcome the baby's "oral aversion"—a dislike of having things put in the mouth. (Some babies develop an oral aversion due to having tubes in their mouths to provide food or air.) Your baby should eventually start to take in some milk at each feeding. This amount should increase as your baby grows stronger. Before discharge from the NICU, nurses will check how much milk your baby is taking in during each feeding or will check your baby's weight gain.
Tips for Holding Your Baby While Breastfeeding
For good support, hold the baby's head with your hand, and support the body with your wrist and arm.
Keep the baby's body in a straight line with the head and neck.
Sit in a comfortable position, so that you're not leaning forward over the baby. Bring the baby to the breast, not the breast to the baby.
Use pillows or other props to help support your back and arms while you hold your baby.
Breastfeeding Positions
Preemies need to feed in positions that provide extra support for the neck and head. These are the safest positions for nursing preemies:
The "football hold." Place a pillow at your side next to the breast you're going to use. Lay the baby on the pillow at breast height. Place the back of the baby's head in the palm of your hand. Use your forearm to support the shoulders and spine. Tuck the baby's legs between your arm and body. If you're nursing twins, you may be able to use this hold to nurse both babies at once.
The "cross-cradle hold." Put a pillow in your lap, and lay your baby across your lap at breast height. Support the baby's head and neck with the hand and arm opposite the breast you're using. Hold the baby's head just below the ears, at the nape of the neck. Use your other hand to support your breast.

CHARLES TOWN - The 21st Annual Jefferson County African-American Culture & Heritage Festival will be held Friday through Sunday on the festival grounds at the Martin Delany Opportunity Learning Center in the 300 block of South Lawrence Street in Charles Town, near the corner of West Avis Street.
The festival schedule is packed with a wide variety of activities that include a health fair, three concerts, youth activities, historical and cultural presentations, door prizes and a parade.
The festival gets started at noon on Friday with a 3-on-3 basketball tournament presided over by Chris Whitney, who played for 11 seasons in the National Basketball Association, most of them with the Washington Wizards franchise. Whitney is currently director of player development for the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.
"I was surprised and pleased that Chris Whitney volunteered to run the tournament," said George Rutherford, one of the coordinators of the festival.
To round out the Friday schedule, there will be a Job Fair from 2-5 p.m. at the Masonic Hall and a Youth Block Party on the festival grounds from 7-10 p.m.
The festivities will continue on Saturday, going more than 12 hours starting at 9 a.m. There will be a health fair, where attendees can get a free mammogram from Bonnie's Bus up until 4 p.m.
"There will also be free health care, including tests for blood pressure, cholesterol and body mass provided by Healthpact," Rutherford said.
Other highlights include a Humvee presentation by the U.S. Marine Corps from 1:30 to 5 p.m., a youth moon bounce and a pony ride starting at 2 p.m., a historical landmark and bricks dedication at 2 p.m., and the Jefferson County Black History Exhibition at 2:15 p.m.
The parade, which will include 12 local bands, will kick off at noon in Ranson and will end at the festival grounds. After the official opening ceremony for the festival at 2 p.m., there will be a marching band demonstration at 2:15 p.m. On the festival ground stage there will be a series of three concerts, beginning at 3 p.m. with the Karl Miller Gospel Revue from Bramwell, W.Va. At 4 p.m., the Off the Block Band from Hagerstown will perform, and at 7 p.m., the Brothers Plus 1 Band will put on a two-hour show.
"Members of the Brothers Plus 1 band have performed with James Brown," Rutherford said.
In case of rain, the concerts will move indoors to the Betty Roper Auditorium.
On Saturday, there will be vendors selling arts and crafts and food and beverages beginning at 11 a.m. Free door prizes will be given away hourly from 3 p.m. until the end of the day.
The festival concludes on Sunday with a memorial walk that will begin at the Murphy Farm in Harpers Ferry and end at the John Brown fort site. At 10 a.m., there will be an ecumenical service at the Curtis Freewill Baptist Church in Harpers Ferry.
The festival is free and open to the public. There is no charge for any event or activity, with the exception of the basketball tournament, which requires a fee and prior registration for participating teams. There is no charge for spectators who would like to watch the tournament.

"Chicago" was on fire with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Thursday, as the as-yet unreleased movie adaptation of the 1975 stage musical picked up a field-best eight Golden Globe nominations, including best comedy/musical and nods for its stars, Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere.
The film's two supporting actors, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly, also scored nominations.
On the drama side, "The Hours," about the lives of women linked to a novel by author Virginia Woolf, picked up seven nominations, including best motion picture, drama, best actress for Nicole Kidman and supporting actor for Ed Harris. The film will compete for best drama alongside Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York," the tragi-comedy "About Schmidt," "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and Roman Polanski's "The Pianist."
For best comedy/musical, "Chicago" is nominated alongside the quirky meta-movie "Adaptation," the touchy-feely (for the English) Hugh Grant film "About a Boy," the little-movie-that-could "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and the adaptation of Charles Dickens's "Nicholas Nickleby."
Meryl Streep, 53, received two nominations in two separate categories: for her starring role in "The Hours" and for her supporting role as a homicidal author in "Adaptation."
Other dramatic actress nominations went to Salma Hayek ("Frida"); Diane Lane ("Unfaithful") and Julianne Moore ("Far From Heaven").
Oddly, Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated in the dramatic actor category for Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can" -- which could be termed a comedy. As such, he is up against leading Oscar contenders Jack Nicholson ("About Schmidt"), Michael Caine ("The Quiet American") and Daniel Day-Lewis ("Gangs of New York"), as well as Adrien Brody ("The Pianist").
Besides "Chicago"'s Zellweger and Zeta-Jones, the musical/comedy actress nominees are Maggie Gyllenhaal for "Secretary," Goldie Hawn for "The Banger Sisters," and Nia Vardalos for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
Adam Sandler was a surprise nominee in the comedy actor race, for "Punch-Drunk Love." His competition includes Gere for "Chicago," Nicolas Cage in "Adaptation," Kieran Culkin in "Igby Goes Down" and Grant in "About a Boy."
Colin Farrell, Noah Wyle and Rachel Griffiths announced the Globe nominations -- often seen as a barometer for the Oscars -- in an early-morning ceremony in Beverly Hills.
And, in the spirit of the informal nature of the Globes, the trio often joked as they read the list of names. (Farrell, in particular, stumbled twice upon pronouncing the name of the nominated movie "The Pianist.")
But seriously, folks, the Globes -- unlike the Oscars -- honor accomplishments on both big and small screens.
In the TV race, "The Simpsons" is back on the list of nominees for best comedy series, competing against "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Friends," "Sex and the City" and "Will and Grace."
Competition between "The West Wing" and "The Sopranos," especially fierce at the Emmys, again reared its ugly head, with both shows in the running for best dramatic series. Its stars -- martin Sheen and Allison Janney from the former, James Gandolfini and Edie Falco from the latter -- are up for acting honors.
As had been earlier announced, Gene Hackman, 72, will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. The 60th annual Globes ceremony will be broadcast live on NBC from the Beverly Hilton Hotel's Grand Ballroom on Jan. 19.
Here's a rundown of the major nominees:
Best Film, Drama
"The Hours"
"About Schmidt"
"Gangs of New York"
"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers"
"The Pianist"
Best Film, Comedy/Musical
"About a Boy"

They also need better types of copper found in some animal quality foods, in general, and the gentle newer male elements – zinc, selenium and silicon.

A situation in which things are extremely fucked up, poorly planned, or chaotic, similar to clusterfuck and FUBAR. Learned this word from University of Wyoming Geophysics Professor Ken Deuker while doing a gravity survey in which things were not planned very well. Apparently the word comes from a time that he saw a female coyote in heat being mounted by two male coyotes on either side, a coyote tripod.
With the pope and the president both visiting, downtown is gonna be a real coyote tripod.

The point of being so hungry, you'd do anything for food. You may even agree on eating something you normally wouldn't eat. This often happens at work when your lunch break is three or four hours away.
How much longer til dinner is ready? I'm hungry as fuck!

A Tiffin man was arrested Tuesday after alleged stolen property was found in a West Market Street residence.
Darryl G. Bright II, 29, was arrested after a search warrant revealed property allegedly stolen from area businesses, according to a release from the Tiffin Police Department.
Tiffin Police Chief Fred Stevens said Bright, who faces multiple counts of breaking and entering, is believed to be connected to several business break-ins reported in the past several weeks.
Article Photos
"Darryl Bright II became a suspect through the investigative efforts of Lt. Mark Marquis and Officer Gary McClure" stated Detective Sgt. Jason Windsor of the Tiffin Police Department in the release. "Their work gave detectives the vital information they needed to obtain a search warrant in this case."
Stevens said Bright previously had been convicted of breaking and entering and receiving stolen property. He was released from prison in October.
"That's approximately the time we were getting an uptick in break-ins," Stevens said.
He said Bright is believed to be the only suspect in the break-ins.
According to the release, the Seneca County Drug Task Force-METRICH Enforcement Unit assisted Tiffin police in executing the search warrant.

Weight Loss Diet Reviews
Don't be intimidated: this list of weight loss diets is designed to be a comprehensive, encyclopedic guide to the world of dieting. You'll find every conceivable variety of diets here, and they're all specifically centered toward weight loss.
As you browse this total listing of weight loss diets, understand what this range of diets covers. "Get slim quick" diets are not designed to be sustainable. Very often, an extreme weight loss diet will not provide you the nutrients you need in the long term. You may experience weight loss, yes, but an extreme diet most likely involved some form of purposeful malnutrition. Even if you're taking supplements, don't trust an extreme weight loss diet to promote sustainable health.
The best of these weight loss diets promotes total body health. Not only will the right diet help you achieve your desired weight goal, it'll change your body chemistry into a healthier, fitter, more acutely aware, confident you. Total health is about giving your body the fuel it needs to perform at peak efficiency.
You'll find a lot of gimmick diets on this list. The "30 Day Pizza Diet" involves non-stop pizza consumption. Some are faith centered, like the Daoist Dietetics Diet, a strict diet that provides a holistic approach to weight loss. Others, like Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet, permits restrained cheating, helping to prevent dieters from eating to extremes.
We're quite proud of this collection of diet reviews, and we hope you're encouraged on your journey to sustainable total body health.

Should the best public school teachers be paid more?
Should the best public school teachers be paid more?
Absolutely, unfortunately it will never happen. The unions sealed that fate. Remember SB5. The very same legislation that would have applied merit standings in this circumstance and would have helped to get rid the bad teachers opening the doors to the brightest and talented. Amazing how the best teachers in the world are dragged under by their very own unions.

Bad teachers are so detrimental to students and seem to stay on the job forever. Excellence should definately be rewarded. And no one can tell me that those who decide can't tell the difference. They just choose to look the other way.

Best Travel Deal Websites – Which Ones Work For You?
My husband and I travel every summer. He is a public school librarian, so we fit all of our longer vacations into the months that he has off. If our trip requires getting plane tickets, I start searching for the best prices up to 6 months in advance. I always hit a bunch of sites, but my favorites have been Airfare Watchdog, Travelocity, Expedia, and Southwest Vacations.
Airfare Watchdog
Airfare Watchdog is an awesome way to monitor the prices of flights in your area. I have bought a ticket through their site once, but I have also simply used the information it throws my way to pick the best times to patrol all of the other sites to get the best deal. I love the fact that it is easy to use.
If you'd like to keep an eye out for the best prices on plane tickets to or from a certain place, simply sign up for email notifications. Airfare Watchdog will then email you when specials occur for the trip you set it up to monitor. For example, I was looking for a cheap ticket to Chicago to go to the Financial Blogger Conference at the end of September. I signed up for email notifications in March for any good deals from Houston to Chicago and jumped on a $215 ticket that they notified me about a few weeks later.

A man's body was retrieved Wednesday morning from the Niagara River, at the foot of Porter Avenue, according to Buffalo police.
The discovery, by a Buffalo State College police officer, was made just before 9:30 a.m.
Members of the Buffalo Police Underwater Recovery Team brought the body ashore. Homicide detectives said it appears to be that of a white man in his late 40s or early 50s.
An autopsy will be performed by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office to determine the cause of death.

Closed Captioned
Boost your skills for sewing closures in an inspired array of styles. With pattern designer Marsha McClintock as your guide, you'll make your garments stand out with clever cut-on closures or capture a chic, understated look with in-seam buttonholes. Add a new focal point to your garments with corded closures and sew reversible button bands for twice the fun. Then, create triangle or origami buttonholes that are an eye-catching style statement. Plus, achieve a fun, trendy look with easy fold-over elastic closures, and bring your garments and accessories together beautifully with tab closures. From classic to contemporary, simple to artful, infuse unique design interest into garments and accessories with creative, customized closures.
Meet your instructor, Marsha McClintock, and dive right into designing cut-on closures. Marsha will show you how to design with the paper templates included in your class materials. You'll then see how to transfer your designs to a paper pattern and to fabric.
If you struggle with traditional buttonholes or want to try a different look, the in-seam buttonhole might be just the technique you seek. Marsha demonstrates how to alter a pattern to accommodate in-seam buttonholes, and how to sew and press them for a professional look.
Cording can add a playful, decorative touch to any garment and can be used to create a variety of closures. Learn how to make your own cording and apply it to your work.
If you love making reversible garments, try adding a reversible button band, too! With two sets of buttonholes and two sets of buttons, this innovative technique lets you create a jacket or vest that does double duty in your wardrobe.
Inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, these buttonholes add a whimsical touch to any garment. Use the same technique for unique embellishments on your designs!
While similar to a bound buttonhole, the triangle buttonhole has a big Wow! factor but is very easy to make. You can make pockets the same way for double the Wow! Marsha will show you how.
Fold-over elastic is a flexible and versatile trim that allows you to make stretchy buttonholes along the front of your garment and easily bind other edges. Learn how to work with this handy material!
Tab closures are easy to make and offer endless possibilities for creative closures in your designs, whether on a jacket front, pocket or bag. Try some of the templates included with your class or create your own!

Hi dogbox
I'm with you on this one,i've got a spare 40k in about 4 weeks when my house sale goes through
and have decided its worth a punt after all even if prices do not go up and you only get 12 grand a year from it, its still comparable to the crap yields you would get over here,and would pay for itself but i'd have a lovely 4 bed villa for the winter
so i've been looking at the various agents offering this deal and am about to contact one
can you let me know who you went with?
I've decided to get the hibiscus villa,
by the way do you know what the interest rates will be on the 60%mortgages?
many thanks
Im going for Hibiscus also, as is a freind! That way the roof solarium should get sun for much of the day even in winter.
Went through a rubbish agent called Superior world wide.
Now dealing direct with developer - very helpful and accomodating.
This E/A is very very helpful and Id wished we had reserved via him info - @intracasa.com
deal with Jann (we didnt resrve via him as he wasnt available at the time). Say Mr Butler sent you.
I understand the interest rate is currently around 5.7% on a non - status mortgage. I suspect competition will cause rates to drop. .
The reason I wouldn'y buy there, is because I've never met anyone who wants to go back there.I went in 1983, and they had all year round weather then!
It's impossible to walk around as you are constantly hassled by the locals, and I mean constantly!
So that means you're staying on the complex.
Maybe Morocco will succeed in building an oasis in the desert, they managed it in Nevada, but buying this early is risky.
Of course that means the rewards will be greater if you are right, so good luck!!
However, I shan't be joining you as an investor nor as a holiday maker.
Mutt as I keep saying, this developement is a huge enclave. Most guests will remian on - site most if not all the time.
I agree buying this early is risky and sometimes I get stressed!

The Owen Academic and Career Support Center at Heidelberg University offers many individualized services to its students.
A 2010 report by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education indicates nearly 60 percent of first-year college students who meet college eligibility requirements find they are not prepared for post-secondary studies.
"There are many that are unprepared," Director Kristin Lindsay said. "There are changes and this is a new segment of their lives. Services here are different for each individual."
Assistant Director Julie George said students are able to gain assistance with making the academic and emotional transition from high school to college, explore major choices, internships, careers, resume and cover-letter writing skills, interview skills, disability accommodation, assistance with graduate school applications, and one-on-one or group tutoring.
The center recently has been awarded a transformational gift provided by Trustee Terry Owen and his wife, Edda. According to an article published in the university's alumni magazine, the gift will endow the ACSC in support of the Academic Comprehensive Campaign for Excellence. In recognition of the Owenses' gift, the center will bear their name.
During the first semester, the center recorded increases in individual appointments, email contacts, drop-in visits, resume critiques, faculty interactions and job postings.
"We work best to meet the needs of the students," George said. "We work with students adjusting away from home with help in applying certain coping skills, and also career development to achieve their career goals. We want them to be on the right track."
For Deana Shook, a resident assistant for first-year students, she utilized workshops in resume writing, homesickness and test anxiety for her students.
Shook is a junior majoring in psychology and minoring in German at Heidelberg. The center has helped her hone her skills of writing her resume and cover letter each semester, she said.
"They have helped me by closely looking at my resume and deciding what I need and don't need," Shook said.
Lindsay has helped Shook with what to do after graduation with grad school and career exploration. Shook said she plans on eventually double majoring in psychology and German but, to do so, she has to study abroad for a year.
"Kristin is helping me with working on a career path, and we are weighing the pros and cons," Shook said. "I do plan on going to grad school and working in clinical psychology."
Other students, including Heather Lentz, use the center to assist in balancing athletics and academics.
Lentz is a junior majoring in sports management and plays collegiate golf and basketball.
"The center has helped me with tutoring and has helped me find an internship," Lentz said. "The center has taught me patience and it is a safe place with people that do care."
Lentz hopes to one day to own a golf course.
A Sandusky resident, Lentz said she enjoys the small-school atmosphere and said the disabilities department was one aspect that attracted her to Heidelberg.
"I didn't want to be just a statistic, another number," Lentz said. "Using the center is easy flowing, smooth sailing."
One of the many responsibilities the center has is disability services.
Freshmen Michelle Motil has been fully blind since she was 15. The center assists in getting material such as textbooks electronically and formatting worksheets to be read in Braille through a machine that puffs up the picture and text.
Also, if a publisher does not have an electronic format for a textbook, the center helps with getting the book and scanning it into Microsoft Word and saving it on a flashdrive.
"Everyone here is friendly and helpful," Motil said. "They don't assume to know the answer, and if they don't know the answer, they can find someone that does."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - It is amazing that snow seems to fall everywhere except Tahoe - what's up with that? Places that don't even appreciate snow can get dumped on and we just get cut off from the world with no Internet service. Nice. I did learn how much we depend on Internet though.
Of course this is the big Presidents' weekend, so let's hope visitors arrive to enjoy the great conditions we do have - check out some of the local Facebook postings from Diamond Peak. That will make you get out on the mountain. Remember that many local businesses will be closed on Monday for the holiday including the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation and the IVGID main offices at Southwood.
We have a couple of events coming up on Friday, Feb. 22. You can choose to go inside or outside for your evening. The community snowshoe hike is Friday, Feb. 22. For information or to register, visit www.inclinerecreation or stop at the Rec. Center or call 775-832-1310. Or, attend the history "Happy Hour" from 5-6:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 22, in the Prim Library at SNC. The guest speaker will be Don O'Bryan presenting "Dark Ecology." The event is free and light refreshments will be available.
Save the Date for an evening of Wine and Wisdom from 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, March 2, at Tahoe Ridge Winery and Bistro in Minden. Tahoe's Mark Twain will provide the wit and wisdom. For reservations call Howard at 775-901-1100.
Also Save the Date for a wine tasting luncheon that will include the Riedel glass taste test and an elegant luncheon on Sunday, April 7. More information to come, but if you want to be on the mailing list for invitations send your information to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 775-298-0184. This is going to be spectacular!
I know that our local bowlers headed down to the City Open at Carson Lanes last weekend, but without Internet service, I did not get an up date so will have to wait until next week to report.
Happy anniversary to Bea and Don Epstein on Feb. 21. Congratulations!
Birthdays being celebrated this week include: Janice Cuadros, Mike Hackney, Rick Hight and Holly Lefkowitz on Feb. 15; Margareta Karlsson on Feb. 16; Rachel Colarchik, Grant Godfrey and Craig Thomas on Feb. 17; Joy Armstrong and Vincent Murillo on Feb. 18; Christina Cruz and Michael Friece on Feb. 20; Tracy Cohn, Gwen Licklider, Bryan Lucas, Steven Pollard and James Wilbur on Feb. 21.

As always send in your birthdays, anniversaries, and news along with the best deals and steals you can find to email@example.com.

PITTSBURGH - The baseball season resumed Friday, but contrary to popular shorthand, this is not the second half of the season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates actually launched the second half on July 2 with their 82nd game.
After Saturday's 5-4 loss in Cincinnati, they're 5-9 in the real second half. That's a .357 winning percentage. They were .630 in the real first half.
They built the 51-30 first half largely on the strength of pitching. The everyday lineup has been consistently unproductive.
That has continued, and it's gotten more obvious as the pitching has inevitably slipped a bit. Francisco Liriano showed some rust in Friday's game. A.J. Burnett, betrayed by some leaky defense, put the Pirates in a 4-0 hole from which they never escaped on Saturday.
There's no immediate offensive available within the organization. The Pirates can hope that some current players pick it up, but that's dangerous. After all, they've been sub-par at four of the eight starting positions through the first 94 games. What makes anyone think that's going to radically change?
The pressure is on general manager Neal Huntington to find a trade (or trades) that make sense. The Pirates need to add at least one bat, and they can't mortgage their future to get it.
These aren't the old days, where a team could go all out to make a short-term addition that might be costly in the long run. The game's economics don't allow that sort of gamble any longer.
The non-waiver trading deadline is 10 days away. That's how much time Huntington has to find someone who can help the Pirates.
No worries
Concerned about Jason Grilli's presence on Sports Illustrated's cover this week?
Some people believe in the myth of an SI jinx. If you're one of them, it should be a consolation to know that Grilli will only be jinxed in part of North America.
SI has done regional covers for a while now, and Buster Posey of the Giants is on the covers distributed in the western part of the country.
Parker's plight
Dave Parker was the only Pirates player to win All-Star MVP honors. That was in 1979 when he was the game's best player, an intimidating combination of speed and power.
Things aren't so good these days. A report from Cincinnati says Parker, 61, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which has left him with tremors and speech difficulty.
Clown show
A lot of people are saying ESPN's Chris Berman was insufferable during the Home Run Derby
Should you expect anything else? Berman's sophomoric act should have been sent back-back-back to the frat house a long time ago.

In short: Always deliversIn full: 3rd year and a surprising marathon PB! The course is beautiful but testing. None of the climbs are particularly steep but on tired legs they feel very wearing. The undulations (as well as the stunning scenery) do keep it interesting though!Brilliantly stocked fuel stations and thanks to the lovely first aid man who rescued me at the finish when severe cramp attacked my legs simultaneously.Date of review: October 2, 2012
In short: Fantastic scenery, great weather and brilliant organisationIn full: The 2012 Baxters Loch Ness Marathon was a great event! The sun shone, lighting up the landscape showing us the picture postcard scenery. As ever, this event is extremely well organised and other marathons should look and learn from this one. The volunteers at the water stations, post race meal and baggage reclaim were so well organised. The marathon and Inverness are very friendly, so while not a fast course, it is still beginner friendly. Great to so many runners from other countries too!Had a fantastic time, met some great people and came away with a new PB. What else could you ask for? Already signed up for next year!Date of review: October 2, 2012
In short: Stunning ScotlandIn full: My second time at this iconic event, and I thoroughly enjoyed.Managed a better time than 4 years ago, which was a bonus.Couldn't fault this event, and will be back in future years to tackle the 'monster' again.Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: Stunning Scottish Marathon.In full: This was my 12th Marathon & is up there with my favorites, a lot of hard work from a lot of helpful volunteers made for a brilliant experience.From Registration to the finish the race organisation was spotlessly timed.It had all the trademarks for any ability marathon runner.lovely fast downhill start then undulating then some testing hills and flat finish.So if you are a beginner marathoner I would recommend this cause the next flat one you should breeze it. Date of review: October 1, 2012
In full: 3rd time running it. Yes it's hard on legs but put in good training and can be very enjoyable experience.Very friendly staff and marshalls.Bigger crowds cheering on this year,never going to get massive crowds in a race that starts in middle of nowhere lol.Bus trip not too bad,just don't drink too much before you get on ! Overall great experience,makes you want to come back for more.Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: Nice but not sure if I would do it again...In full: This was the second marathon that I've done, Edinburgh being the first in May which was very flat but the weather was far too hot for running!Weather was lovely for this in September, sunny but cool. Scenery was beautiful. However, I missed the support from the crowd and I found it very lonely and quiet.I did a HUGE mistake by not training for this marathon at all, which was very stupid and I would never recommend anyone to run a marathon without training (believe me, I won't be trying it again in a hurry..).I ran the first 13 miles, a combo of power walking/running up to 16miles and then I had to walk the remainder - saving my energy for the last kilometre. It hurt so bad and I didn't enjoy it because of this reason - although this was my own fault. The hills are tough but not impossible, a lot of downhills and flat areas too.Overall it was lovely but through my own mistakes it was difficult and sore and I missed the cheering crowd - I didn't get the same buzz as when I ran Edinburgh.Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: A fabulous race, fantastically well organised and welcoming to all abilities.Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: Very well organised and super fast courseIn full: I was worried that the faffing about to get buses to the start would be annoying but it wasn't - like everything about the day is was very efficiently organised and ran like clockwork.Water stations were frequent - every 3 miles or so - which was great.The first 10 miles are basically downhill (net 1,000 feet or so) which gives this real PB potential.And the t-shirt is really nice.Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: So well organised, the runners were treated like royalty.In full: Great organisation.Really lovely volunteers.Lots of water and gel stops. Great atmosphere. Simply fabulous.Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: Great but harder than I expected!In full: Having had a bit of time to think about it all the the comments about the lovely scenery are true, well worth the trip. My one and only complaint was the bus transfer to the start line which was both a long slow journey and late, my top tip is this, get on the last bus at the pick up point at bught park, you might think this strange but the road to the start is narrow and as a result the convoy of coaches park in single file along this narrow stretch of road with the first coach to depart ending up as far as possible from the start line and the few toilets while the last to depart is practically on the start line! also because the road is narrow when everyone bails out of the coaches it is incredibly crowded and difficult to get to the loos in any sort of time before the race starts, that really is my only complaint. As far as the run itself goes I checked out the elevation chart before booking this and thought to myself fantastic, it's all downhill, I am now painfully aware that the best part of 12 miles downhill knackered my knees to the extend that I thought i would not be able to finish, add to that a couple of really hard hills and I was good for nothing, having said all that I now find that when I think of the Marathons I have done this has taken a close second place for me behind the VLM as a memorable race, would I do it again! maybe if my knees were better.Date of review: November 26, 2011

Like most drivers, I (Henri Bianucci) keep my eyes on the road. But unlike most drivers, I pay particular attention to creatures who are attempting to cross the road, or the unlucky ones who didn't quite make it.
I am constantly scrutinizing every creature on, or beside, the road. Countless days have found me late for work for having circled back to see if a creature got across the street. This can be a dangerous obsession.
A few years ago, I was a passenger in my father-in-law, Bob's, truck. He was driving and my daughter and mother-in-law were in the back seat. We were heading to Beaufort in the middle of the ACE Basin when I spotted what I initially took for a large monitor lizard.
It was long and slender with its head erect. It was moving fast and crossed our lane and stopped in the northbound lanes. It was a small alligator, about 3 feet long. I excitedly told my father-in-law we had to turn around.
He responded with a stern "no." But I persisted. With more lobbying from the backseat, Bob knew what he had to do, but he wasn't happy about it. He carefully pulled over and waited for a chance to turn around.
Three cars passed going north, straight for the gator, before he could pull out. As they approached, the first car swerved around it, the second car went over it, missing with all tires. Finally, the last one reached it and it lurched foreward. Disaster!
The gator was hit and writhed in a terminal spasm. My heart sank. I'm not from here, so an alligator is an exotic thing to me. I just hated to see it killed. I asked Bob to pull over anyway, so I could check the gator.
He looked bad. Blood from the nose, head tilted and one eye bulging. But it took a breath. I proclaimed that it was still alive and we would have to take it with us. Resigned to the situation, Bob looked for a box. Just then, a young couple, tourists from Israel, pulled over. They had seen the gator get hit, too, and circled back for a look. They provided a shopping bag from Banana Republic. I said that was perfect, Bob said it was too small and flimsy. "You're gonna need a bigger bag".
We pulled back onto the road and resumed the trek to Beaufort. I kept checking and giving progress reports. "His head is straightening out," I observed. Bobs face tensed. "His eye looks better, he just blinked."
"Close that bag, Henri," said Bob, driving 70 mph on a two-lane road.
"He's breathing much more reg- ... ", before I could finish, the bag exploded. The paper crumpled loudly and the gator clawed its way onto Bob's lap. That's when Bob unleashed a flurry of profanity that I had not thought him capable of.
I channeled the crocodile hunter as I struggled to gain control of this highly agitated, dinosaur. Bob, continued to hurl expletives as he struggled to maintain control of the car, while trying to get away from the gator. He smashed himself against the driver's side door so hard that it briefly appeared that he was driving from the other side of the door.
I pictured the Southerners reading about this stupid carload of Yankees who crashed because they voluntarily took an alligator into their car. The event was terrifying and hilarious, but full appreciation of the hilariousness was delayed for Bob.
Eventually, I gained control of the gator and Bob regained control of the car. We stopped at Piggly Wiggly and got a sturdy produce box in which to replace the bag, and we went to a local animal clinic for a steroid dose. Within a day, the gator was back to normal, and we released it not far from where we found it.
If there's a moral here, its probably to be a bit more like Bob than me when attempting to rescue animals on the road. The urgency of these situations may lead to impulsive moves that put others at risk. This one ended well and left a story to tell for years. But it could have ended badly. So, keep your eyes open for animals in need but exercise caution at the same time.

We'll rectify that tout suite. Many of the Danish brands only have websites in Danish, which really shows that they are content to concentrate on the local market.
Nevertheless, it's interesting to see their bikes and I've provided links after each brand.
There are big players on the market in Copenhagen and Denmark but the new kid on the block is Velorbis. The very idea of starting a new bike brand in this market is, on paper, rather silly. But Velorbis are enjoying great success, not only at home but abroad. Their bikes are being bought by Danish county councils and city councils who provide bikes for their civil servants and they are making a splash in the UK and North American market.
We have a post about Velorbis in our Bikes We Like feature over at Copenhagenize.com. Michael at Drunk and In Charge of a Bicycle out of NYC blogs about his new Velorbis Churchill.
Velorbis Website - In English.
Made in the EU.
Kildemoes is one of the brands you don't hear about elsewhere, and yet they produce 100,000 bikes each year. They are the largest brand on the Danish market but they're now owned by an Italian company.
Taarnby is another big player on the Danish market with a great selection of bikes to choose from.
Taarnby Cykler - In Danish.
Taarnby Retro/Shopping Bikes - In Danish. Click "Klik her for se alle retro/shopping bikes" to see their selection.
Upmarket brand with emphasis on design and style, as well as functionality. Very cool bikes to be seen on in Copenhagen. Read our BIKES WE LIKE POST about Sögreni.
SÖGRENI WEBSITE - In English.
SÖGRENI DISTRIBUTOR IN US - In English.
MBK Cykler are quite popular. They have a broad selection.
MBK Cykler - Ladies Bikes - In Danish.
Used to be an independant brand, now owned by an Italian company but still produced under their own name.
Everton Bikes - In Danish.
A large chain of bike shops with both their own brand and others.
Jupiter Website - In Danish.
Jupiter Ladies Bikes - In Danish.
I don't know much about Jaguar bikes, just that I see them quite often. They might not even be Danish, shockhorror!
An online shop selling Jaguar. In Danish.
Mustang bikes are mostly sold in large supermarkets. Usually quite inexpensive compared to other brands.
Mustang Cykler - In Danish.
Another brand sold in supermarkets.
Rocky Cykler - In Danish.
There are many other brands, but these are the Danish brands that you seen most often on the streets. We'll cover some of the foreign brands in upcoming posts.

It comes in several models including the RAID-optimized S1200BTLRM, which includes dual-NIC, integrated graphics and server management. It allows for a wide variety of Intel® RAID-based storage solutions ranging from embedded software RAID to modular intelligent hardware RAID.
The following sections highlight several alternatives for combining different Intel RAID solutions with the Intel Server Board S1200BT to meet diverse market needs.
Good: Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II (Software RAID)
Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology is host-based RAID that utilizes the chipset, processors, and memory of the server board to provide basic data protection. Intel Embedded RAID technology includes advanced technologies and world-class features that support up to six SATA drives. Host-based RAID 0/1/10 is included with all models of the S1200BT and is upgradeable to provide RAID 5 with the Activation Key AXXRAKSW5.
Better: Intel® Integrated RAID I/O Controller-based Modules (Entry HW RAID)
Three I/O controller-based options (six total modules) exist for Intel Server Boards depending on the form factor, RAID level, and number of add-in cards required for the server. For 1U optimization, the S1200BTLRM comes with a unique RAID module slot that allows for an extra add-in card. The S1200BTLRM's standard slots are also wired to provide the "electronic handshake" needed for Intel's new PCIe* slot modules.
• Intel® Integrated RAID Modules RMS2LL080/040: 1U optimized, RAID 0, 1, 1E
• Intel® Integrated RAID Modules RMS2AF080/040: 1U optimized, RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50
• Intel® Integrated RAID Modules RMS25KB080/040: 2U or pedestal, RAID 0, 1, 1E, or 1U with standard PCIe slots available
Best: Intel® Integrated RAID ROC-based Modules (Intelligent HW RAID)
The standard add-in card slots of model S1200BTLRM only of Intel® Server Board S1200BT can be used to install one of Intel's new SAS 2.1 and SATA 3-capable RAID-on-Chip modules. These products are designed to perform parity generation (RAID levels 5/6/50/60) and RAID recovery operations, as well as advanced data, memory, and bus management.

With the exception of a few sporting
models -- IS-F, LFA
-- Lexus is known to most as a purveyor of well-built, boring,
tomb-like silent luxury vehicles that do battle with the German
luxury trifecta: BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. However, Lexus is now
looking to change its stodgy image.
News reports that Lexus wants to beef up its performance
image to better compete with its more sporting rivals. The IS-F was
the tiny spark that showcased Lexus' ability to rub elbows with the
best performance machines from Germany, while the LFA is the
veritable flame thrower that represents the very best that Lexus has
to offer both from a powertrain and technological standpoint.
However, the luxury marque wants to
spread this performance DNA to the entire lineup according to Lexus
product development head Kiyotaka Ise. "Up until now, Lexus has
been about calm, stable luxury," Ise noted. "From now on it
will be more about agility and response, really feeling the braking
and acceleration."
Although it seems unlikely that Lexus
will be able to do much to make the Camry-based ES float like a
butterfly and sting like a bee, the RWD-based LS and GS seem like
prime candidates for a "soul" transplant, while the smaller
IS (minus the "F") is already mostly there when it comes to
sporting intentions (how about throwing in a manual for the IS350?).
In other Lexus news, the company is
going to expand its lineup of hybrids by introducing a new one with
each model revision. For example, when the next generation ES is
launched next year, a hybrid variant should come tagging along (the
current ES doesn't have a hybrid variant despite the fact that the
lesser Camry is available with such a powertrain).
"Compared to Mercedes or BMW,
hybrid technology is a key application in the Lexus," Ise aded.
"That's the most easily understood difference in the brands."
Currently, Lexus offers the HS
250h, GS 450h, RX
450h, and the LS
600h L. The CT
200h hatchback is coming to the U.S. next spring.
Toyota's official
Twitter page also revealed that six new hybrid models will be
released before the end of 2012. There is no word on how many of
those vehicles will be Lexus-branded models.
quote: If money is no object, I'd take a 458 Italia -- even with the engine fires ;)
quote: I'd probably go with a LP560-4 with a Underground Racing twin turbo "kit". The 458 would be my beater. ;)
quote: And exactly. Nothing in those exotics say "this is worth $50-200k+ more".
quote: What exactly does interior have to do with going fast and handling well? I've seen a ZR-1. The interior is everything it needs to be. I don't need expensive leather and crap like that. Honestly, if I was designing the car, I'd offer a model without a lot of the crap that comes in the car. Fact is it kicks the sh*t out of 99% of cars out there, including many that cost far more. Only an uber expensive car like the Veyron can beat it. And it ain't hard to boost the Vette up in horsepower to outrun it . I have a friend locally with an 02 Z06 that probably will outrun a Veyron. Lets just say that on the dyno, with the wheels spinning on the rollers, it put down 1000 rwhp. And its perfectly drivable too. He can just spin the tires at 80 mph .

The pastor of the World Overcomers Christian Church in Durham, North Carolina, finds
himself in hot water over something he recently posted on Twitter. He reportedly told women that
if they did not want their man or husband to look at other women, they should shine more
and not let the "hoes" or whores beat them to their man.
Thompson placed the tactless tweet on April fools day this year and while some were
caught up in the "April Fool's" spirit and believe he was too, as for others...Not so much.
Like writer, speaker, activist and poet Taurean Brown, who edits the blog blacksankofa.
Brown wrote that Thompson should never have used the word "hoes," not even if he was
referring to those women who make a living selling their bodies for sexual purposes. He
added that it was a very derogatory term to be used for any woman.
Brown says that this pastor of a church with 10,000 members should humble himself, own
up to his blunder and immediately apologize to women.
And apparently the pastor did just that (though no one but the pastor knows if the move
was initiated on his own or because of Brown).
The pastor posted a video on YouTube, and he also deleted his twitter post that same day.
The video is no longer available to be viewed.
