Despite selling over 5 million new iPhone 5's in the past week, catching flack for their botched Apple Maps initiative after scrapping Google Maps, it seems that people have pointed their ire that matches the wrath of 10,000 suns regarding the whole "scuffgate" issue where their the anodized aluminum body their using is easily scratched, "ruining" the immaculate look and design out of the box.
Take a look at what's going on in the Twittersphere to get a glimpse of what people are saying right now about their problems regarding scuffgate.
Do you think it's an overreaction from consumers or was Apple shortsighted in the durability of their latest and greatest product?

The inspiration for and namesake of the U.S. Army's M-1A1 Main Battle Tank. In urban use, it is a discreet way of describing a woman with a large rear end. This is used in lieu of the phrase Tank Ass. It is advantageous because unless the woman has a knowledge of American military history she will be none the wiser.
Yes, she's quite the General Abrams.

It was a nasty car crash, but not an extraordinary one.
Sherri Berg's Jeep Grand Cherokee was hit hard by a car as she pulled onto a highway. The vehicle spun four times and struck a pole, but no one was hurt.
What was extraordinary was the epic legal fight that followed, pitting a father-and-son law firm in Chester County against an industry giant, Nationwide Insurance.
Nearly 20 years after the accident, that fight climaxed last month with a court ruling that castigated Nationwide and slammed it with $18 million in punitive damages.
Experts say it was the largest punitive award ever handed down in Pennsylvania in a suit alleging "bad faith" by an insurer.


text: Think it's too snowy to ride your bike? Think again. The Ktrak Snowmobile Bike Kit is an extension for any standard bike that makes cruising winter wonderlands on two wheels possible. A rear traction system mounts to the back while a single ski mounts to the front. At $529, it's not cheap, but it does look amazingly fun! (NOTE: The link to purchase on Gear Patrol seems to be down as of December 24, but hopefully it'll be up soon.)

Twenty-four years ago this Fall, the Northern Kentucky Symphony, now the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra (KSO), took the stage for the first time at the newly opened Greaves Concert Hall on the campus of Northern Kentucky University. To mark the group's 25th Anniversary Season, the KSO returns to its 'Old Kentucky Home' for 4 of its 5 subscription series concerts. The orchestra, which in 1992 inadvertently mailed its first season brochure to 3,000 dogs and cats (via an Iams Pet Food mailing list), has remained true to its mission - making the symphonic concert experience - attractive, accessible and affordable for the residents of Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.

BWW Review: Stunning FOLLIES at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis
by Chris Gibson - Sep 20, 2016
While I was watching Follies, I was reminded of our own beloved Fox Theatre, and how it had tread a similar path during the 1970's. Like the fictional Weismann Theatre where this story's action takes place, it had been fallen on hard times, reduced to screening Kung-Fu and exploitation film fare before being renovated and reopened. But there is no restoration in the cards for the Weismann, and the people that come to it for one final celebrated glimpse may be nearing the point of being past reclamation themselves. This is superior Sondheim, and though it's not revived as often as some of his other works, it's full of the kind of interweaving melodies and motifs that this master composer is so adept at creating. Find out for yourself just how compelling and engaging this musical is by seeing The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis' stunning production that opens their 50th season. (more...)

Before we turn our attention more fully to free agency and the draft, let's put a bow on an amazing season for the Philadelphia Eagles by reviewing some key stats that help explain what happened to this team in 2013.
119.2: That was quarterback Nick Foles' passer rating, which led the league and registered as the third-highest single-season rating in NFL history. Foles also led the league with 9.1 yards per pass attempt and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 27-to-2—which set a new NFL record.
9: That's the total number of games Foles had a rating in the triple digits, which is a new Eagles record despite the fact he qualified for a rating in only 11 games.
8-1: That was Philadelphia's record in games Foles started and finished. He missed the fourth quarter of a one-score game against Dallas, and Matt Barkley wasn't able to do anything in relief.
+20: That was the Eagles' turnover differential when Foles was running the offense in the regular season and playoffs. When Michael Vick or Barkley were in control, they had a turnover differential of -6. Keep in mind that this team had a -38 turnover margin in 2011 and 2012 combined, which ranked dead last in the NFL by a mile. No other team was below minus-26 in that span.
|With Foles at QB
|Without Foles at QB
Pro Football Reference
48.5: That was DeSean Jackson's catch rate on deep balls, per PFF, which was the second-highest percentage in the NFL. Jackson led the league with 16 catches on passes of 20 yards or more, dropping zero of the 33 balls thrown his way in those scenarios.
99: That's the number of plays the Eagles ran this season that resulted in gains of 20 yards or more, which easily led the NFL and set a new single-season record. The 2001 "Greatest Show on Turf" Rams also had 96. The 2011 Saints, who broke the single-season team yardage record, had 83. The 2007 Patriots had just 61. This year, the powerhouse Broncos had 77.
|1. Philadelphia Eagles
|2. Denver Broncos
|3. Green Bay Packers
|4. New Orleans Saints
|5. Minnesota Vikings
29: That's the total number of games Eagles starters missed due to injury, according to The Dallas Morning News, which made Philly the fourth-healthiest team in the NFL by that metric. But 16 of those games were missed by Jeremy Maclin, who was gone in late July and was replaced exceptionally well by Riley Cooper. Put that aside and the Eagles were easily the healthiest team in football.
|Games missed

|1. New York Jets
|Santonio Holmes (5)

|2. Washington Redskins
|Stephen Bowen (6)
|4. Philadelphia Eagles

|5. Cleveland Browns
|Brian Hoyer (11)
Dallas Morning News
14.9: That, as a percentage, was the statistical variance of the Eagles' regular-season offensive performances, which according to Football Outsiders was the highest rate in the league. That means that this offense was technically the least consistent unit in football. Not shocking when you consider poor early efforts from Vick and Foles (especially that ugly Dallas loss).
76.5: That was the offensive line's pass-blocking efficiency rating from PFF, which ranked them 20th in the league. Rookie right tackle Lane Johnson gave up 10 sacks and 57 pressures, and right guard Todd Herremans surrendered four and 49. However, Vick was pressured on 44 percent of his dropbacks, while Foles was only pressured 34 percent of the time, per PFF. The line was much better late in the season.
40.2 and 19.7: Those are the run-blocking grades PFF assigned to starting guards Evan Mathis and Todd Herremans, respectively. Mathis ranked first in the NFL in that category, and Herremans ranked second. No other guards finished above 15.0.
23.4: That's how many seconds, on average, it took the Eagles to snap the football, which ranked first in the NFL, according to Football Outsiders. The league average was 27.1, which means they saved almost four seconds on every snap. Unsurprisingly, their average drive lasted just 2:06, which was the shortest rate in the NFL. The pace is unmatched, but as a result, the defense was on the field for 33:36 per game, which was longer than any other D in the league. Bill Davis worked some magic.
|Time to snap
|Time of possession
Football Outsiders/Pro Football Reference/NFL.com
31: That's how many takeaways the Eagles had on defense, a number which was beat by only two other defenses. That's a big reason why they bent without breaking a lot. By comparison, Philly had only 37 total takeaways in 2011 and 2012.
|PPG allowed
|Weeks 1-4
|34.5 (31st)
|6.0 (27th)
|5 (22nd)
|Weeks 5-17

|26 (1st)
Pro Football Reference
64.6: That's the passer rating opposing quarterbacks posted when throwing Brandon Boykin's way, which was the fifth-best mark in the league among cornerbacks who were on the field for at least 600 snaps, according to PFF. The second-year corner received the highest PFF coverage grade in the NFL.
5: That's the number of Boykin's six interceptions that came in one-score games, according to the team on Twitter. Four came in the fourth quarter. Two came in the red zone. Two ended games. Clutch.

You must have at least two readers named Steve -- I didn't send you that link!
It's funny how the restaurant dude says the ducks are fed "like any other animal raised for human consumption" when clearly they aren't. Then the activist says the ducks are vomiting and thrashing and struggling to get free, when clearly they aren't.

Yeah Steve, the part of the clip is a beautiful synopsis of a long argument between two opponents who's knee jerk response to confrontation is ill-rendered propaganda. Gotta love the mdia bias towards PETA's postition too. I can't imagine that the "journalist" is truly sympathetic but I'll bet he knows a good "scare the sh-t out of the audience or make them sick" shot when he sees one! Gotta love it.
BTW, I wish that it was easier for people to use their full name or to choose apt pseudonyms bec. it's way too easy to confuse one Steve with the other when one (or the other) submits a comment that is not long enough to convey a sense of the writer's typical role in the dialectic.

Turn Old Trafford into an allotment and rebrand 'The One Show' as 'The Half Show'. That's how to save the country money
Both politicians and economists are currently wrestling with the problem of how to reduce Britain's enormous overdraft.
We have been getting nasty letters from global bank managers threatening to downgrade our credit rating and maybe even to repossess the Isle of Wight or Guernsey.
Labour reckons the best way to reduce the deficit is to carry on spending money that we don't have (which is also my instinct in times of crisis). The Conservatives boringly say we should make cuts and be prudent.
Maybe they are right. After all, we have had a sign from on high that cuts are necessary. Someone up there has decided that the celestial boiler should be turned off for the duration - hence the lowest winter temperatures for decades and no sign that the great thermostat in the sky will be adjusted for spring.
Despite this, you may be impressed to hear that I have managed to cut my own heating bill in half. It was quite easy really - all I needed was a sharp pair of scissors. However, like everyone else, I am feeling the pinch and wish to help the economy recover, so here are a few suggestions.
I cut my heating bill in half — all I needed was a pair of scissors
We can certainly take some lessons from the last recession when the DHSS was cut by 25 per cent to become the DSS. Now we are in a similar situation, I propose we get rid of a further letter so that it becomes the DS. Transforming a great department of state into a pocket-sized games console could save the country upwards of £1
We can all save money and help the environment by doing what they did in the Second World War and growing more of our own vegetables. Even in our big cities there are wide open spaces which are rarely used. Why not turn Old Trafford, the Emirates Stadium, White Hart Lane and Upton Park into allotments - it would be more profitable than the Premiership has become recently, and it would also be the first time in a while that anything home-grown has come out of Arsenal.
It has also been suggested that the BBC make some judicious cuts - it has proposed that 6 Music could be axed, as could parts of the website. But perhaps the cuts could be more subtle. The One Show could become The Half Show, we could lose one of the Hairy Bikers, EastEnders could be EastEnder, and if Top Gear became Second Gear, we could cut back on petrol. Meanwhile, programmes that save money, like Bargain Hunt and Cash in the Attic, could be elevated to peak viewing time.
There are parts of Britain which could easily be cut back. Do we really need two Newcastles and two Stratfords? Surely it would make sense to incorporate Shakespeare's birthplace into the Olympic site - then we could flog Stratford-upon-Avon to the Americans like we did London Bridge.
And in view of the billions we are owed by Iceland, after the collapse of Icesave and other banks, perhaps we should send our trawlers and the Royal Navy over there to pinch some of their cod - or did we already try that?
We could even try to persuade the United, Reform and Masorti to patch up their differences and get together so we could have one synagogue in each area and save money by pooling resources.
Hmm, I'm beginning to get ridiculous now.

Adrian Peterson won't be taking it easy on his time off
Adrian Peterson's version of relaxation before training camp is increasing his training regimen.
By BRIAN HALLFS North
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- With the conclusion of mandatory minicamp, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was looking forward to returning to his hometown, spending time in his new home and eating some good barbecue.
Don't mistake Peterson's desires for slacking off during the free month for he and his teammates. That's not the way the MVP running back rolls. He said he won't be taking things easy before returning on July 25 for training camp.
"Nah, nah, nah, I'm going to crank it up actually," Peterson said Thursday after the conclusion of Minnesota's minicamp. "Crank it up and really bust my tail and be ready for training camp."
Peterson's always been known for his work ethic and desire to be the best. After becoming the best -- the league's MVP last season after rushing for the second-highest, single-season total in NFL history -- Peterson's only been emboldened by the intense training program he went through last season in recovering from major knee surgery and returning as strong as ever less than a year out from surgery.
This year is different for Peterson, at least from the aspect that he's not trying to return from surgery.
He said he feels "100 percent" and has been able to concentrate on getting strong instead of rehabbing. The Vikings have given Peterson the occasional day off from practices during the team's offseason program, which Peterson usually spends inside doing conditioning and lifting anyway.
"A healthy Adrian Peterson makes us all smile," coach Leslie Frazier said. "We kind of know what he's capable of doing. He knows the offense so every now and then, we're going to pick our spots (to give him rest) and let the other guys handle it. We'll do that from time to time."
Peterson did have sports hernia surgery this offseason, but says he's fully recovered and hasn't been hampered by injury at all. He has practiced with the team, including two of the three days during minicamp. As Peterson noted, last season he only practiced a few times before returning to game action.
Peterson returns to his native Texas and Saturday marks the7th annual Adrian Peterson Day in his hometown of Palestine. He said he's called in a special caterer for barbecue for the special day.
Then he will be back home in Houston before training camp opens. Peterson's spent more time in Minnesota the past two offseasons and is anxious to spend time in his new home.
"I haven't really been there much with OTAs," Peterson said. "So, it was a hard pill to swallow, but I swallowed it. But yeah, I'll be in Houston relaxing in the new pad."
And how does the competitive Peterson relax?
"Just sitting around the house relaxing, watching TV," Peterson said. "You know, I find my time to kind of unwind and relax at times. But to be great, you got to put in a lot of work and I know that, that's why I work as hard as I do."
Peterson will be ready when training camp begins and he has high goals, as usual.
"Super Bowl, I know that's the goal as a group," Peterson said. "I feel like we've got the right pieces in place. Everyone has that vision in their mind, so that's the ultimate goal."

Come on down and shake it with "The Money Man."
Seventies and '80s rocker Eddie Money is bringing his act to the Railroaders Memorial Museum at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday as part of the city's Alive@Five summer concert series. Money's string of Top 40 hits includes "Baby, Hold On," "Two Tickets To Paradise," "Shakin,'" "I Think I'm In Love," "Take Me Home Tonight" and "Walk On Water."
Local band Half Tempted will open the concert, with Money going on at approximately 8 p.m.

Eddie Money will perform in Altoona on Wednesday.
"(John Cafferty) did a great job starting off our season with an amazing show, and we can't wait to welcome Eddie Money to town," said Scott Stuttard, president of in2it Productions, the Hollidaysburg-based live arts and entertainment production and promoting firm responsible for bringing the series' live acts to Altoona. "He is truly a great showman and his show is different every night. This is going to be one of the best live shows we've had the pleasure to present here in Altoona."
A former New York Police Academy cadet, Money left his would-be badge for a chance at rock 'n' roll glory in Berkeley, Calif., in the early 1970s, according to AllMusic, an online music database. Paying his dues in Bay Area clubs, he eventually caught the attention of legendary promoter Bill Graham, who signed the singer to his management company and secured him a record deal with Colombia Records.
Money released his eponymous debut in 1977, delivering up-tempo, radio-friendly rock that caught on with millions - thanks in no small part to heavy rotation of his videos on MTV. His music still holds up today on FM album-oriented rock stations across the nation.
Fact Box
If you go:
What: Eddie Money with special guest Half Tempted, presented by the Alive@Five summer concert series
When: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday; doors open at 5 p.m.
Where: Railroaders Memorial Museum, 1300 Ninth Ave., Altoona
Admission: Tickets are $20 and can be purchased from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday at the museum store.
More information: Call the
museum at 946-0834 or visit www.railroadcity.com.
"It's really been so good for me," Money, 60, said in a phone interview from his home in Long Island, N.Y. "There's so many people coming to see these shows. There must be a resurgence in '70s and '80s music ... Man, I got a lot of young fans out there."
Things weren't so good when the singer succumbed to the temptations of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle - engendering a mid-'80s slump. Once he sobered up, he made a remarkable comeback with smash-hit singles like "Take Me Home Tonight," a 1986 duet with Ronnie Spector.
"Back in the old days, when I was drinkin' and doin' lots of cocaine, I thought I was invincible, ya know? - but you don't want your kids to see you like that. ... If it wasn't for my (five) kids, I'd probably be in the Betty Ford Clinic right now.
"There were a lot of chicks and a lot of pot in those days," he said. "I did 307 shows in a 365-day period. But ya know, I kept my (stuff) together for Bill Graham ... I wasn't like a Jim Morrison."
Money performed at Blair County Ballpark in July 2006 as part of a preview party to the Eastern League All-Star Game, which included six Altoona Curve players. He had good things to say about the city.
"We've got a lot of friends up in Altoona," he said. "It's a great little rock and roll town ... we do well in little Pennsylvania."
Altoona Mayor Wayne Hippo would agree. He cited "Baby, Hold On" and "I Can't Hold Back" as his favorite Money songs.
"He's been around for a long time, and he seems to be a real hard working kind of guy," he said of the singer. "I mean, he's been able to keep his career going for a lot of years. ... It's exciting to have those kinds of guys come to the city. The people of Altoona deserve it."
These days, Money doesn't do tours - he plays "all year 'round."
"I've always performed a lot," he said. "I've got five kids, so it's good to get out."
And as far as the hits go, you can expect to hear every one of them - including more obscure album tracks such as "The Big Crash" and "No Control."
"I had 26 songs in the (Billboard) Top 100 - that's an hour and a half worth of music right there," he said. "Every time I ever made a record, I wrote two or three singles."
From 1977 to today, Money has recorded 12 studio albums - and that's not counting numerous live and compilation packages released through the years.
He's working on a Broadway play titled "Two Tickets To Paradise."
"It's very Broadway oriented," he said. "I've got a lot of that stuff in my blood. I'm getting ready to try and get a couple of my songs from my play on adult contemporary radio."
But when it comes to the show in Altoona, it's all about classic rock 'n' roll.
"All I can say is you're gonna get what you pay for at an Eddie Money show," he said. "I've got two tickets to paradise, but, damn it, I'm takin' everybody."

The Arizona Fall League provides a great opportunity for young players to get a few more at bats (or innings) against live pitchers (or hitters) and the Indians took full advantage this year. The Tribe sent seven players and a coach to the Surprise Saguaros including their 2011 first round draft pick Tyler Naquin and the transitioning Tony Wolters. Former Indians reliever and current Lake County Captains coach Steve Karsay was the pitching coach for the Surprise squad.
The Saguaros were a very successful as a team, clinching the Western Division title with a week left in play. In the end they went 18-12-1, 4.5 games ahead of of the second place Desert Dogs. Along with the Indians, the Saguaros are made of minor leaguers from the Red Sox, Brewers, Orioles and Rangers. Overall, three hitters batted over .350 while three pitchers had an ERA below three with at least 14 innings pitched. There was little question that overall, the Saguaros were the most talented squad during the 2013 Fall League season and the Indians were a big part of that. They will play the Mesa Solar Sox for the AFL Championship this Saturday in Scottsdale.
Tyler Naquin
The Saguaros knew they had their superstar in Naquin, who was coming off a good season with the Carolina Mudcats, and made the most of him. He lead the Saguaros in games, starting as center fielder and lead-off hitter. He turned things up to another level against his fellow Fall League opponents and is a solid candidate for MVP, coming in the top ten in average (.339), doubles (4) and steals (4) while finishing second in RBI (18) and first in hits (39) and runs (22). Naquin will likely go back to AA next year, where he ended the 2013 season, but has made a strong case for a short stint at that level, moving up to the AAA level.
Armstrong entered the AFL after his second season in AA and destroyed the combination as part of a very strong Saguaros bullpen. He has been one of the most used pitchers in relief, pitching in 10 games and throwing 11.1 innings. In those games, he lead all relievers with a 1.59 ERA and 16 strike outs. If he has one drawback, Armstrong is still having control issues, walking 10 batters in those 11 innings. While it didn't particularly hurt him in the AFL season, it is never a good sign to see a relief pitcher walking a batter per inning.
Joe Wendle
Unlike Naquin, Wendle has not been used in a full time role, but like him, he has been very successful offensively. He was just drafted in 2012, but has already powered through the Advanced A. During the Fall League Season, Wendle knocked in 12 RBI on the strength of seven extra base hits. He did this while playing in just 15 games, splitting time with Mookie Betts (Boston). When he did play, he played and batted second and was significantly better than Betts, with an OPS of .863 compared to .741.
Roberts was trusted with a spot in the starting rotation after splitting time between the Carolina Mudcats and Akron Aeros during the past season. His success in AA (7-9, 4.57 ERA) didn't translate into success in the desert, however, as the favorable weather conditions and high fast balls lead to six home runs, twice the amount of the next worse pitcher on the Saguaros.
Despite his struggles, Surprise stuck with Roberts in the rotation for the duration and he made seven starts, allowing an ERA of 6.67 while going 0-3.
Wolters is an interesting case and should have been a perfect fit for the AFL. A long time top prospect at second base and short stop, an extreme log jam in the middle infield (Francisco Lindor, Jose Ramirez, Dorssys Paulino and more) forced him to switch positions. Everyone agreed to make him a catcher and thus far the experiment has not completely panned out. While he has been fine defensively, his offense has not bounced back to his 2012 form when he slugged .404 for the Carolina Mudcats.
With the Saguaros, he has been relegated to bullpen catcher as the fourth string catcher on the team. He was only able to get into 14 games, during which time he hit just one double and batted .178. At just 21 years old, Wolters still has some time to learn the position and get back to focusing on hitting, but at this point he is in danger of being left behind.
Tyler Sturdevant & Trey Haley
Haley has been a top reliever for the Indians farm system during the past three seasons and started the Fall Season with the Saguaros, but was replaced by Sturdevant after just 1.2 scoreless innings. Sturdevant is the exact type of player the AFL exists for. After missing all of 2013 due to injury, having professional baseball to play during the off-season allows him to make sure this isn't totally a lost year. The flame throwing right hander was nothing but dominant, throwing four innings in four games, striking out three. Of course, at 26 years old and a two year AAA veteran, Sturdevant is one of the older players in the league, but it is very promising to see that he still has it after a season off.

rats, the scale has a strange draw, especially when one of 2 things happens. 1. I am doing really "well" with what ever protocol I am following regarding food. and 2. I have what I consider an off day or go off the protocol for whatever reason.
I felt like I had been doing pretty well, then yesterday went off course slightly with the dessert. No guilt, I chose it consciously, totally controlled. But curious this morning. My weight is still within the same 3 pound range that it was when I started Primal and then Leptin Reset. So I decided to plug in my planned meals to fitday and get my nutrient break downs, just to ease my mind going forward. So here goes...
B: Mocha, 4 eggs, spinach...Cals. 533; Fat. 32.4 (55%); Carbs. 5.4 (4%); Protein. 52.1 (41%)
L: Salmon, avocado, mixed salad greens, vinegar...Cals. 428; Fat. 24.1 (48%); Carbs. 14 (12%); Protein 42.5 (40%)
D: Beef, mixed salad greens, coconut oil, vinegar, cauliflower...Cals. 542; Fat 40.4 (66%); Carbs. 10.7 (7%); Protein 36.2 (27%)
So the daily totals...Cals. 1514; Fat 97 (57%); Carbs. 31.9 (8%); Protein 131.6 (35%)
I think this is exactly where I should be, so I will stay the course till my birthday, as planned, with no significant changes, following my 5 Leptin Rules.
p.s. I follow the beliefs of Paleobird, and others, that while this is not about calories in/calories out this is not meant to be a food shoveling free for all, and calories, on some level do count and so until I get to losing fat I will be counting them, or at least keeping aware. Not going to be obsessive about it, because I don't and won't measure my food.

A tropical classic that evokes the thought of paradise with every sip, nothing says vacation like a Piña Colada. So whether you're on a bright sunny beach or just feel like pretending you are, this is the cocktail fro you. By the way, getting caught in the rain is not required.
The Singapore Sling has enjoyed a long and celebrated lifespan, having been created at Raffles Hotel in Singapore around the turn of the 20th century. Many claim that no two Slings are made the same way, but the smooth, fruity and herbal qualities in the recipe below are sure to satisfy.
Try the delicious and simple rum-based Hemingway Daiquiri. Papa approved!
A tasty twist on a Brazilian classic.
This powerful cocktail is like an instant Caribbean vacation.
A twist on the Piña Colada, the Painkiller cocktail is a rich and fruity tropical drink that's a specialty of the British Virgin Islands. Coconut cream, orange juice and pineapple juice join rum in this drink that brings the tropics right to your glass.
To prepare a Rum Swizzle, it's best to use an authentic swizzle stick. Real swizzle sticks are long stems snapped off a tree native to the Caribbean, and feature multiple prongs that stick out horizontally. When spun rapidly between your hands inside a cold cocktail, the swizzle stick will create a thick layer of frost on the outside of a glass—the sign of a perfect swizzle.
Add a touch of pineapple juice and apricot brandy to a classic Daiquiri to get this delicious concoction.
This New Year's Eve-inspired libation comes with all the pyrotechnics.
When in Rome? How about when in New Orleans? This powerful tropical drink will transport you to French Quarter during the first sip. Created in the 1940s, this super boozy rum-based concoction that will get the party started no matter where you are.

Idemitsu Kosan has announced the company is to establish an OLED materials manufacturing company in South Korea to strengthen the supply-chain for the further expansion in OLED display and lighting markets.
The company is currently in the process of selecting a suitable location to establish the OLED materials manufacturing plant, with the aim to have the facility operational during 2012. The new plant will supply OLED materials in South Korea, and also provide additional supply to Japan, Taiwan, Europe and other countries.
The OLED display and lighting markets have experienced rapid expansion as they progress towards early commercialisation. In order to maintain a stable supply for customers in Japan, Korea and elsewhere Idemitsu Kosan believes it is necessary to commit to increasing production capacity by establishing production bases outside of Japan.
The company started developing light-emitting materials for OLED in 1985 and completed a manufacturing plant in Omaezaki, Shizuoka in April 2007, where a development-to-manufacturing/marketing integrated production system was established to supply OLED materials at home and abroad.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Firm says Nrf2-activating drug boosts glomerular filtration rate and renal function markers. [© London_England - Fotolia.com]
Abbott has agreed to pay Reata Pharmaceuticals $450 million in up-front and near-term cash payments for exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the latter's pivotal-stage chronic kidney disease candidate bardoxolone methyl worldwide, excluding the U.S. and certain Asian markets. The deal also gives Abbott rights to certain other Reata compounds for chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular, and metabolic indications in the same territories. In addition to the initial cash payments, the firm will also make a minor equity investment in Reata and pay royalties on future product sales.
In December 2009 Reata teamed up with Kyowa Hakko Kirin to develop bardoxolone jointly in Japan and certain other Asian markets. Abbott claims the Reata drug represents a promising new addition to its late-stage pipeline and will build on its existing expertise in renal care. "Early clinical studies suggest that bardoxolone could be a significant improvement to the current standard of care for chronic kidney disease and possibly prevent patients from progressing to the later stages of the disease and dialysis," remarks John Leonard M.D., senior vp of pharmaceuticals R&D at Abbott.
Bardoxolone is an oral antioxidant inflammation modulator (AIM) that activates the transcription factor Nrf2, which Reata says ultimately leads to a decrease in the level of oxidative stress and suppresses a number of inflammatory mediators. Phase II studies with the drug in patients with stage 3b and 4 chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes have shown that treatment results in statistically significant increases in estimated glomerular filtration rate and improvements in other key markers of renal function, the firm points out.
Reata specializes in the discovery and development of oral anti-inflammatory drugs targeting Nrf2, a target that the firm says has been shown to protect against a broad range of diseases associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. Bardoxolone is the firm's lead compound; it has completed a pivotal Phase IIb study and is poised to start in a pivotal Phase III study. Pivotal studies in nondiabetic chronic kidney disease patients are also being planned.
In July Reata raised $78 million in an equity financing round with existing investors, which it says will fund completion of the clinical development program for bardoxolone. At the time the firm projected the drug could be on the market by 2012. It says estimates suggest the worldwide market for chronic kidney disease therapeutics was approximately $13 billion in 2009 and will grow to $20 billion by 2016.
Reata is separately developing Nrf2-activating candidates against CNS diseases, based on a series of oral AIM molecules that can cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve high concentrations in central nervous system tissues. Potential candidates for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are in preclinical development. Reata's preclinical pipeline also includes a superoxide dismutase 1 protein folding stabilizer for the potential treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which has shown promising results in animal models.

Choctaw County Court House
The Proposed Court House
Fort Towson Enterprise – April 14, 1911 – transcribed by Ron Henson
On the first page of this issue we give a picture of the proposed court house for Choctaw county. It is to be 84x110 feet, is to be built of native stone and to be absolutely fire proof. On the first floor will be the offices of the county surveyor and county superintendent, with large room for examinations and large vault, justice of the peace and shiriff's [sic] offices and vaults, farmers' rest room with ladies' and gents' toilets and two overflow vaults. The rest room will contain two large tables and plenty of comfortable chairs.
Second floor; - Register of deeds office and vault; county court room, judge's office and vault; county treasurer's office and vault; county clerk's office and vault and commissioners' court room.
Third floor: - District court room, judge's private office and stenographer's room, district clerk's office and vault; county attorney's office – 3 rooms, grand jury room and two jury rooms.
The rotunda has a light well running through center of building to dome, which makes light and ventilation perfect. The heating plant will be in the sub basement under the jail, making it so the turnkey can take care of the heating department.
The building is to be first class in every respect and absolutely fire proof. Now, Mr. Voter, it up to you to say whether we will have this building of our own or not, stop heavy rents and know all of our records are safe.
Court House
Fort Towson Enterprise – April 14, 1911 – transcribed by Ron Henson
What about Choctaw county building a court house and jail? Have you given the subject careful and patriotic consideration? At first we were inclined to think the time was not at hand for the county to incur such an indebtedness; but seeing the great need of this public necessity, and that it must be done at no distant date and that it can be done as cheaply now as at any time in the future, we are heartily in accord with the proposition to vote bonds for such a purpose. It should be remembered that our county is paying rents and is put to other expenses which would more than pay the interest on the proposed bond issue and also create a sinking fund which would pay off the bonds at maturity. If we must pay a stipulated sum of money every year for rents, etc., it seems that should apply this annual taxation upon property that would ultimately be our own. Again, we must be abreast of the times, as well as look to the business interests of our great county, which is conceded to be the best in Oklahoma. Then let us have a court house and jail in keeping with the progress of the times and reap the benefit while we pay for them.
The Court House Located
Fort Towson Enterprise – August 18, 1911 – transcribed by Ron Henson
After many weary hours of uncertainty and worry the county commissioners last Friday night at 10 o'clock succeeded in reaching a decision in the problem of the location of the county court house and jail. As stated last week Chairman Husky wanted the buildings on the hill west of the Frisco passenger station; Mr. Morton's choice for the site was south of the A.C. tracks, near the Goldman grocery, while Mr. Bryant said he would be satisfied with a location anywhere east of the business section of the city. There seems to be no possibility of the members getting together and they kept making propositions to each other until finally Mr. Husky gave up his site and intimated that he would come over to Mr. Bryan's [sic] way of thinking and join him for a location in the eastern portion of the city. Mr. Morton still held out for his choice on the south side, and late Friday night Messrs. Husky and Bryan [sic] got together on block 95, the first block east of the Freeman hotel on Duke Street, and there it will be built. The consideration for the site being $8,000.
Messrs. Donathan & Moore, contractors of Wilburton, Okla., have been awarded the contract of erecting the buildings at $107,000, and work will begin at once.

Here's an interesting item from the Coast Guard Auxiliary
From Oregon to New Orleans to Philadelphia the U.S. Coast Guard stayed busy this past weekend rescuing kayakers and a canoeists.
In Oregon the Coast Guard rescued a 30-year old male after his kayak overturned. The man was reportedly suffering from hypothermia when Coast Guard rescuers reached him.
In New Orleans the Coast Guard rescued a man in the Bonnet Carre Spillway after the canoe he was aboard became stranded by the strong current.
In Philadelphia the Coast Guard, a tug boat crew and a boom boat crew rescued two kayakers after they capsized and were overtaken by water in the Delaware River. Both kayakers demonstrated early signs of hypothermia.
Stories like this are all too familiar and as the temperatures across the country warm more and more Americans will take to the water for recreation. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary reminds paddle craft operators that a safe trip begins with assessing conditions and planning your trip, including the return.
Data is available from a wide array of sources: buoys, NOAA forecasts, locals, previous trip reports, bar condition reports, and charts are starting points as the prudent mariner does not rely on a single source of information. And don't forget to wear your lifejacket.
Paddle craft operators are also encouraged to get a free Vessel Safety Check (yes paddle craft are considered vessels too and are required by federal law to maintain specific safety equipment onboard).
Click to arrange for free Vessel Safety check.
As the number of people turning to manual powered craft or paddle craft increases, so does the risk for novice or unprepared operators getting themselves into trouble. A recent study by the Outdoor Industry Foundation has shown a dramatic increase in the number of Americans participating in kayaking, a 23% increase in 2005 alone. Unfortunately, there has also been a rise in the number of paddle craft accidents.
Three knots is the average speed for a kayaker. In the wrong place, where a river narrows or underwater features force waters to speed up or create towering waves, experience and preparedness, not muscle power, are what matter.
The prepared kayaker will have a boat appropriate for the task, be wearing protective clothing and a lifejacket, be carrying safety and communication equipment, have the skills to re-enter and roll, and use good judgment tempered with an appraisal of objective and subjective factors.
The experienced paddler should also be in the company of one or more people equally versed in reading the water and self-rescue.
