Donald Trump on Homeland Security
2000 Reform Primary Challenger for President
TRUMP: In my opinion, we've spent $4 trillion trying to topple various people that frankly, if they were there and if we could've spent that $4 trillion to fix our roads, our bridges, and all of the other problems, we would've been a lot better off. We have done a tremendous disservice, not only to Middle East, we've done a tremendous disservice to humanity. It's not like we had victory. It's a mess. The Middle East is totally destabilized.
Carly FIORINA: That is exactly what President Obama said. But let's just start with, who got it wrong? Recall that Hillary Clinton was all for toppling Gadhafi then didn't listen to her own people on the ground. And then when she lied about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, she invited more terrorist attacks.
TRUMP: Well, people feel differently. I mean, the fact is Benghazi was a disaster because of Libya, everything just fell into place. It could not have been worse.
TRUMP: I saw it on television. So did many other people. It was 14 years ago. But I saw it on television. I saw clips and many people saw it in person. I've had hundreds of phone calls to the Trump Organization saying, "We saw it. It was dancing in the streets." So many people saw it. And, so, why would I take it back? I'm not going to take it back.
TRUMP: Well, we have to be strong. You know, they don't use waterboarding over there; they use chopping off people's heads. They use drowning people. I don't know if you've seen with the cages, where they put people in cages and they drown them in the ocean and they lift out the cage. And we're talking about waterboarding. I would bring it back, yes. I think waterboarding is peanuts compared to what they'd do to us, what they're doing to us, what they did to James Foley when they chopped off his head. That's a whole different level and I would absolutely bring back interrogation and strong interrogation.
TRUMP: Well, I don't want to close mosques; I want mosques surveilled. And all I would do, certainly there are certain hot spots and everybody knows they're hot spots. Good material was coming out of those mosques. We were learning a lot. And they were stopping problems and potential problems by learning what was happening. I don't want to close up mosques but things have to happen where, you have got to use strong measures or you're going to see buildings coming down all over New York City and elsewhere.
TRUMP: It did happen. I saw it. It was on television. There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down. I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as those buildings came down. It was well covered at the time.
TRUMP: Well, you know, we could be politically correct, if you want. But, certainly, are you trying to say we don't have a problem? We do have a problem with radical Muslims. As I have already said; I have tremendous people that I know that are Muslims.
A: One of the things I would do is fix the hospitals. What I'm going to do is make sure that they will be able to go out and use private doctors and we will pay the private doctors. We're going to do a bit of a free market thing so that veterans can get immediate service and good treatment.
It came out recently they have equipment that is 30 years old. They don't know if it worked. And I thought it was horrible when it was broadcast on television, because boy, does that send signals to Putin and all of the other people that look at us and they say, "That is a group of people, and that is a nation that truly has no clue. They don't know what they're doing."
Trump said the country is in trouble and if he wins the presidency he would defeat ISIS and stop Islamic terrorists. He said he would reduce the federal budget deficit and build a fence on the nation's southern border to stop illegal immigration, adding, "I mean seriously securing" the border.
The reason conservatives support a strong and well-funded military is because they know that all freedoms flow from national security. That's why we need a new president. It's also why we need to get tough in foreign policy to deal with the threats and challenges America faces from rival and enemy nations.
One book that I would suggest to you, because it is valuable for business and managerial strategies, is "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. This was apparently written in the sixth century BC and is a study of military strategy. It may sound like an unusual business school recommendation, but believe me, it isn't. It's valuable and worth your time.
By comparison, another famed book is Machiavelli's The Prince, which is more about political conflict and qualities necessary for leadership than war or business, but its emphasis on power becomes a negative factor. Ethics and integrity seem to get lost somewhere in the shuffle, and therefore the word Machiavellian has become a pejorative term. It's a better use of your time to read "The Art of War."
You can�t pursue forward military and foreign-policy objectives on a backward military budget. I�m not advocating that America go forth and police the world. I�m just saying that if we�re going to use our military power abroad, we had better make sure that power is ready to be used.
To begin with, I�m not laughing at missile defense, and I never have. The question isn�t whether or not such a defense can be built. The question is whether it is the right defense for our times. And I believe the answer is, largely, no. In this age of miniaturization, our real threat is not going to be flying in on a missile. It�s going to be delivered in a van, or a suitcase, or a fire-hydrant-sized canister.
[We should] prepare for the possibility of attack, to avoid total panic in case an attack does occur. Our adversaries understand that if they are able to blindside us they will be much more likely to succeed in blackmailing us.

Hyundai Santa Fe owners have reported 57 problems related to car stall (under the engine and engine cooling category).
I¿ve taken my 2009 Santa Fe to the rick case roswell, GA on Friday, 7/1/2016 and again today, 7/15/2016, both for the same issue, my car is stalling while I drive it. On 7/1 they told me it was the battery, so had a new one installed while there. Both times, I¿m been turning into a curve (it was a right hand turn on 7/1 and a left hand turn on 7/15). The first time I was lucky as it was just coming off a stop light. Last night, however, it was a curve to get on the highway with an 18 wheeler thundering behind me when my car stalled, and I lost the power steering and braking and almost became an 18 wheeler hood ornament. As I mentioned, the dealer is perplexed by the issue, nothing is showing up on the diagnostics and they can¿t replicate the problem. I had to leave the dealership with the sense that I¿m driving around in a ticking time bomb. As a women who frequently drives by herself in the car, and on the highway 99. 9% of the time, I can¿t tell you the fear that knowing that this can happen again at any moment and that the next time I may not be so lucky, instills in me. This is my second Hyundai and I have always considered myself to be a proud Hyundai owner, but I just did a little research and found out that a) not only am I far from the only person who has had this issue, b) there has actually been a class action law suit that Hyundai lost regarding the frequent stalling of Hyundai vehicles. I need Hyundai to fix this issue ASAP or risk being sued by my family after I¿m killed in a car accident that is the direct result of your stalling vehicles.

Previously reported to dealer that car often stalled or hesitated when accelerating after a stop or very slow forward motion. This has ended up in numerous hesitations and near accidents when entering into traffic. On Friday, 1/29/16 while exiting from the 9th tier of a parking garage the hesitation happened on all 9 tiers as I rounded the corner to the next tier and began to accelerate. I have an appointment again with the dealer on 2/19/16 and will report further after that but suspect I will get the same message that they "could find nothing wrong".

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while pulling in to a parking space, the vehicle stalled with no warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the contact parked the vehicle in a parking space as well as inspected the vehicle but was uncertain of how this failure occured. The vehicle was driven to the contacts residence due to the random failure and was to be taken to the dealer for inspection and diagnosis to determine the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000. Dyd.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. However, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 175,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving at 25 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the engine warning light illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,847.

While stopped at a red light on an incline, vehicle did not move when gas pedal was pressed. It felt like the car had stalled out but the rpm's were still between 1 and 2. When I pressed harder on the gas the car lurched forward. This has happened several times and is now happening more often, not always on an incline or when temperature or engine is cold. Taking to dealer for repair but told if they can't duplicate they can't do anything about it. I have only owned this car 4 months and want to get rid of it because I'm afraid to drive it now. Not sure if its a problem with the transmission or fuel system but something is definitely not right. Hope it happens for the dealer so it can be fixed.
Tl-the contact owns a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. On a second occasion, the vehicle stalled and all the warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 163,000. Djr.

Vehicle stalled when leaving stop light lost speed would not accelerate have read other complaints on line some are afraid to drive vehicles I agree saftey is an issue dealer or manufacture cannot find solution to problem.
See all problems of the 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe.
The first occurrence was tues. Oct. 21 backing out of a driveway and went to put the car in drive. It stalled right in the middle of a very busy road. I put it in park and tried to start it again. It did start but did not feel like it would continue to run. However, it did. The second time was yesterday when I was driving down a four lane road at 40 miles an hour and it just stopped running. I was so thankful it was later in the evening and traffic was very minimal. I put it in park and it did start but again did not feel like it would continue. It felt like it would stall again but did not, 2 more times before I got home. I called this morning to get it right in and never heard back. I am afraid to drive it because of the traffic on most of these roads. I do not feel like I was taken seriously even though I received a recall notice in sept. But have managed to misplace it. I do not remember what the recall was for. The second time this happened a panel light did come on. It was the malfunction indicator light. I am worried about an accident and possible death with this happening to the car.

On two separate occasions, my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe stalled, for no apparent reason, causing loss of steering, wheel control, and brakes. On the first occasion, I was driving through a mall parking lot. While making a left turn and attempting to drive down a row of parking spots, my car stalled and I was unable to turn the steering wheel, brake or guide the vehicle. On the second occasion, I was turning left down the street to my home. Again, without warning, the car stalled, various light eliminated on the dash, and I lost complete control of the vehicle. I had no advanced warning and the car otherwise seemed to be running normally.
Vehicle stalled at low speed or turning on numerous occasions . Stalls and then will start back up. Most recent incident, 12-13-2014, it stalled 3 times within 25 minutes when slowing to a stop. I've taken to Hyundai in the past, they could not identify and issue, charged me $50. 00 to adjust break light switch, which they stated should fix it. I checked on-line & located the 3. 5 sante fe low speed engine rpm logic revision service campaign which they will reprogram the vehicles ecm in certain vehicles with 3. 5 engines. I tried to use the on-line VIN verification & guess what ,it states mine was not one of the one with issues, it was made in alabama, 2010 & 3. 5, same stalling issues as everyone else. I want my vehicle covered by this service campaign.
See all problems of the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe.
The contact owns a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly stall with out warning. The contact mentioned that within 2 to 3 seconds the vehicle would restart and operate as normal. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 73,100.
See all problems of the 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving 65mph the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician diagnosed the engine seized and needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,137. Sr.
When making a right hand turn at slow speed the cars stalls out. Today 7/16 is the 3rd time this has happened. The same event happened twice in the same week about 6 months ago then not again. This sounds too similar to the problems w/ gm cars.
My family has a 2012 hyudai Santa Fe. We started experiencing problems with the vehicle stalling while driving in 2013. The car stalled multiple times on city streets and once on the highway. When the car stalls, the driver loses power steering and brakes. It is a very dangerous situation. After the third time the car stalled we took it in for service in April of 2013 to the local Hyundai dealership. The technician ran a complete diagnostic and said he could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. We refused to take the car at that time and insisted on more testing. They did find a problem. They replaced/repaired the etc-actuator and gasket-throttle body. The car ran fine until last week when it started the same problems again. It has stalled four times in the last week. The latest stall happened today when my girlfriend was driving the car at around 30 mph. It also stalled last night when I was driving it home at about 25 mph. I was able to get to the side of the road and put the car in park. I turned the key and it started right up again. When it stalled on me, I lost power steering and power brakes. The time of the incident was 9:48pm and the mileage on the car was 72,917. It was very scary. We are taking car to Hyundai dealership today for repairs. We do not want to drive this car anymore. It is unsafe and a hazard.
The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated while making a left turn, the vehicle stalled with no warning. The contact had to apply extreme force to turn the steering wheel and was able to merge to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician was not able to neither replicate nor diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,800. Updated 08/11/lj the consumer has since traded the vehicle. Updated 08/19/14.
Vehicle driven shopping center (approximately 15 mi. ) upon leaving vehicle stalled going approximately 15 mph. Steering cut out and difficult, but was able to get to the side of the road. Was able to restart vehicle after approximately 3 minutes. Gas was purchased approximately 1 week prior and vehicle ran fine. Will take to the dealer, but based on other reports I do not expect them to find any problems.
The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while traveling 60 mph, the vehicle stalled as all indicators lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the ecm carburetor was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired but the failure has recurred several times. The failure and current mileage was 24,741.
The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 5,000 and the current mileage was 7,000.
The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The dealer stated that the engine locked. The vehicle was repaired; however, the check engine indicator illuminated and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 18,000.
During the past 6 months, our vehicle has stalled three times. The most recent incident occurred while we were exiting the freeway. The vehicle just stalled and we almost lost total control of the car ( very scary). The following day, we took the car to the local Hyundai dealer and their service department replaced the throttle body and cleaned all the grounds in the engine compartment. We hope this was an isolated incident and their repair solves the problem.
The vehicle stalled so frequently, either on free way and local.
Vehichal stalls in traffic. No warning signs.
The vehicle kept stalling on free way and locally.
This is a follow up to the complaint I made on 5/13/2013. At that time my vehicle was at the dealership to try to duplicate the problem I had been having which was that my car would randomly stall while making a turn, whether left or right. When this happened the panel would light up like christmas and everything including the brakes would cease to work. I have to coast to a safe location (if possible) to turn off car and then restart it. I have been very fortunate that me or my family have not been hit when this happens. Update to last report: my car stayed at the dealership for 3 weeks however the problem was not duplicated. Their solution (Hyundai USA and my dealership) was to replace the throttle body. Everything was fine until the same problem occured on 1/19/2014. I don't think hyndai USA will be satisfied until there's fatalities unfortunately.

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, I do eat red meat as well - probably a couple times a week. I do enjoy fish too and could probably eat it more often.
My weight seems to be staying pretty much the same. I actually lost 3 or 4 lbs pretty quickly after I started eating primally again and definitely feel less bloated. I think I had some unhealthy emotional ties to food (sugar in particular) and I feel much more free in that regard.
As far as exercise, I do about 30 mins of body weight exercises 3x/wk, sprints on my spin bike 1x/wk, Turbo Fire HIIT workouts 1-2x/wk, and walk the dog almost every day.
I guess the reason I asked the question is because I often feel like I've eaten too much after each meal. Like breakfast for example, I eat it and drink two cups of coffee with coconut milk and then feel stuffed for an hour or two afterward. I know the logical answer would be to eat a little less, but I've lost my period for months at a time in the past, so I'm afraid of that happening again. I'm also afraid if I don't eat enough at meals, that I'm going to fall back on regular snacking and I'd prefer not to do that.

With his three daughters hustled off to school, Tim McGraw spends an afternoon tucked inside his Nashville home juggling multiple business calls and doing what the country singer does best: teasing his wife, Faith Hill.
"I have tried working out a couple of times with her and afterward, I can't move," says McGraw, who sometimes joins Hill at their home gym to burn calories.
When asked about her routine, McGraw jokes, "It's like, leg warmers and Olivia Newton-John's 'Physical.'"
A high-pitched giggle from Hill interrupts McGraw, forcing him to set the record straight: "Faith says it is nothing like that." McGraw then pauses before going on, "But yeah, it's me with my headband on and leg warmers..."
For McGraw, there was a time when embarrassing Hill was no laughing matter.
The country superstar, 45, admits he was drinking and partying to an extent he felt was out of control.
"I wasn't a beer drinker. I was more a whiskey drinker. And I wouldn't just have a drink. If I was going to drink, I'd have some drinks," says McGraw.
"People were worried about me. It was to the point where I felt it was negatively affecting my relationships and getting in the way of things I wanted to accomplish in life. So I quit."
Tim McGraw: 'I Feel Better Than Ever'

June 20, 2011
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is extremely pleased that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has appointed Yekaterina Priezzheva as the new cochairman of the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs. The Friday announcement came less than three weeks after the VFW and six other veteran and POW/MIA family organizations wrote to ask for his personal support of the Joint Commission.
The U.S.-Russia Joint Commission was created in 1992 by Presidents George H.W. Bush and Boris Yeltsin to help determine the fates of missing American and Russian soldiers. In 2004, however, the Russian government eliminated their cochairman's position, which effectively shut down the Joint Commission, to include America's access to Russia's central military archives — a potential treasure trove of information regarding missing Americans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War.
"Much has been accomplished since you and President Obama exchanged diplomatic notes in July 2009 to revitalize the Joint Commission," wrote the executive directors of the VFW, American Veterans, Disabled American Veterans, Jewish War Veterans, National League of POW/MIA Families, The American Legion, and Vietnam Veterans of America.
"General Major Aleksandr Kirilin was appointed as acting cochairman; U.S. researchers were allowed back into the Central Military Archives as well as continued to have access to potential eyewitnesses; and American forces continue to provide Russian loss coordinates when discovered in Afghanistan. What is missing is a full-time Russian cochairman to help lead your presidential commission."
As head of the Russian defense ministry's education department, Priezzheva's appointment, along with more than 30 other Russian commissioners, is being viewed positively by the U.S. side of the Joint Commission because it signals the future viability of a presidential organization whose only purpose is to return fallen soldiers to their families.
In a letter of appreciation sent today, the American cochairman, retired Air Force Gen. Robert H. "Doc" Foglesong, thanked the seven organizations for the important role they played to restore Russian cooperation, as well as to help ensure the U.S. side of the Joint Commission was adequately resourced and empowered to move forward.
"We simply could not have prevailed without your critical support," he wrote.
"I am extremely proud of the VFW for the leadership role it played to help bring the Russians back to the table," said VFW National Commander Richard L. Eubank, who last fall became the seventh consecutive VFW national commander to travel to Russia to meet with their veterans, politicians and government officials to urge their support of the Joint Commission.
"As we wrote to President Medvedev, recovering our fallen is a humanitarian gesture that honors a soldier's promise on the battlefield," said Eubank. "I thank the Russian president for his support of military families everywhere."
Read President Medvedev's Decree No. 815.

My family each year sets a day aside around Christmas to celebrate Hanukkah. We have some Potato Latkes, meat, sour cream, apple sauce and grape juice. It's a very yummy meal and a fun time with the family.
The Classic Potato Latkes are the "center" of the meal really for us. Although I tend to enjoy the meat part the most. It's all about the Potato Latkes. You dip the the Latkes in the sour cream and apple sauce for a very delicious taste. I like to dip my meat it apple sauce and sour cream too.
Here is how we made them this year:
- 1 pound Idaho or russet potatoes,
- peeled
- 1 small onion, peeled
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup BREAKSTONE'S or
- KNUDSEN Sour Cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- (optional)
- Grate potatoes, then the onion using the large hole of a box grater. Place grated vegetables in the center of a large clean kitchen towel. Bring up the ends of the towel and twist together to form a pouch. Hold the bundle over the sink, then squeeze out as much excess moisture from the vegetables as possible. Place vegetable mixture in large bowl. Add egg, flour, salt and pepper; mix well.
- Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Carefully drop tablespoonfuls of the vegetable mixture into skillet; spread each into thin circle with back of spoon. Repeat to cook 2 to latkes at a time. Cook 3 to 4 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove latkes from skillet; drain on paper towels.
- Serve each latke topped with 1 tsp. of the sour cream; sprinkle lightly with chives. Serve warm.
Then here is the meat:
We then ended the night with a game of Dreidel:

The Best Sports Car, and Why to Skip It
Begin with the proposition that everyone in the car business is a little bit out of his or her mind. From the CEOs to the bolt-turners on the assembly line, from powertrain engineers to your humble reviewer—he said, adjusting his poodle skirt—we're all slightly but measurably tetch'd, meshuggeneh, deranged. If I could choose just one word to describe the mental firmity of these people, that single word would be: not well.
Indeed, automobiles are strangely summary of a corporation's collective psychology. Cars are complex objects that represent the outcomes of literally millions of discrete compromises governing everything from, say, the elastic modulus of an engine mount to the degree of sassiness in the rake of a windshield. Designer Bob wants a seat fabric that's 3 cents per yard over budget. Sam in purchasing says no way. God, Bob thinks, I really hate that guy….
The result is that automobiles are a kind of grand pointillism, seen-at-a-distance portraits of the neurotic human apparatus that builds them.
And that brings me to Ron Dennis, CBE, the chairman of the McLaren Group, emeritus leader of arguably the world's best Formula 1 operation, and one of the oddest ducks I've ever met. A genius, of a sort—it might be the Chauncey Gardiner sort—a splendid businessman and, let no one doubt, a dead-eyed, remorseless competitor. About a month ago I stood in the sun-flooded atrium of the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England, listening to Mr. Dennis talk about the company's new road-car venture and its first issue, the MP4-12C.
First impression: Mr. Dennis's reputation for being a wound-like-a-chronograph neat freak clearly undersells his mania. I've been tying ties all my life and never tied one half so perfectly as Mr. Dennis's impeccable blue cravat. The limp, deeply unenthusiastic handshake I received suggested to me a man who couldn't wait to run to the washbasin. Journalists. Ick.
The MTC—which includes the race operations and wind tunnel—looks like Starfleet Academy with cars. Dazzling, Jovian, orderly and tranquil. All shirt sleeves are starched and everyone's breath smells like Altoids. The place is clean. McLaren buys Windex by the rail car.
To give you but one example: Every single white Pastorelli floor tile in the subterranean assembly hall has been laid with a laser level to be perfectly perpendicular to the force of gravity. The building floor is 99 meters by 198 meters (not 100 x 200) so as to avoid having to cut any tile. It's Plato's loo.
To what extent is all this perfectionistic rigor and orthogonality a reflection of the man himself? "All of it," one engineer told me. "This is all Ron."
Some hours later, as I was shagging the new 12C on a track near Portimao, Portugal, I thought, "That seems about right."
You've come with me this far, dear reader, and you've earned the payoff. The McLaren MP4-12C is now the best sports car in the world, an era-defining work of technical intelligence and jet-fighter performance that will—be warned—make you look at other cars in your garage like they were lawn mowers.
One for the Heavenly Road: McLaren F1
Among my few automotive regrets, the biggest is that I've never driven a McLaren F1, the company's Le Mans-winning sports car, of which only 106 were built between 1993 and 1998.
A car that breached the boundary between aerospace and inner space, a soulful and gallant gesture of science and art, the McLaren F1 was exactly what you might hope for if you gave the smartest engineers on the planet a boxcar full of money and said, "Have at it."
Oddly, no F1 owner ever tossed me the keys to one of these midengine, million-dollar miracles. Some people are so selfish.
Designed by race engineer Gordon Murray, the F1 was the first road car with a full carbon-fiber monocoque (the load-bearing passenger cell), helping the car to its scant curb weight of 2,502 pounds. Seething amidships, in the engine compartment lined with heat-reflecting gold foil, was a BMW-built 6.1-liter, 48-valve V12 producing 627 hp. The F1's 3.99 pounds per horsepower produced some spectacular effects: 0-150 mph in 12.8 seconds. Quicker than that and you start showing up on Norad's radar.
The F1 is curious in other ways, too. It is a three-passenger car, with the driver in the center position and the passengers set back in flanking positions. Murray claimed the F1 was always conceived as the ultimate road car, but it's hard to warrant that considering the driver's awkward clamber across the threshold and passenger seat. Also, the noise levels in the cabin were fantastic, requiring aviation-style headsets in order for passengers to converse.
And yet the car was apparently pretty easy to drive—according to the lucky, swinish few who have driven them. The naturally aspirated BMW engine was so tractable the car could accelerate from 30-225 mph in sixth gear. Why, practically a grocery-getter.
The new McLaren is a very different animal than the F1, and the difference is telegraphed by the name. The feral purity of anything called F1 cannot be matched by a car named the MP4-12C, which sounds rather like a kind of ointment. The F1, hand-assembled in Woking, England, took months to build. The 12C, about a week. Most important, the F1 was a cost-no-object machine and is, in effect, a time capsule of a less constrained time. The 12C is very definitely built to a price and so lacks the F1's exuberance, or you may call it optimism.
But I can't really compare the two unless I get to drive an F1. There's still time. As one is wont to say before being thrown on the plague cart by Monty Python: I'm not dead yet.
Download these data: The 12C accelerates from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds flat and ravishes the quarter-mile in 10.9 seconds. An acceleration run in this car feels like being hammered between the shoulder blades by Thor's mystic Mjollnir. At its heart is a midmounted 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 (flat crank and dry sump, naturally) outputting 592 horsepower and 443 torques through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox lubricated with something blessed and wonderful, the Dalai Lama's dandruff, maybe.
Need to refuel? With its carbon-ceramic AP binders, the 12C will decel from 60 mph to a stop in 100 feet. At higher speeds, the deck-mounted aero brake juts hydraulically into the windstream. On the Portimao circuit, where the front straight ends in a stretch of fairly choppy tarmac, the 12C hauled down from 180-plus mph with a surety that approached inevitability.
So the 12C posts some hectic velocity. But it has the singular effect of normalizing such performance. How? First, it's crazy light, a mere 3,279 pounds. There's a kind of sheer depravity of physics going on here, a larceny of inertial mass, as if the car had been scoured of its Higgs bosons. Everything's easier, everything is safer and more controllable. The gyre and pitch of landscape is bent to the car's will. Glorious.
The 12C is also terribly well fitted. The carbon-shell seats comfortably socket you in place so you never feel like you have to brace yourself on the steering wheel. The driving position is raked and sports-car ideal. The center console hosts the way-cool vertical LCD navi/status screen as well as the three-way chassis and powertrain dials. The fettling in the cabin and engine bay is incomparably purrr-fect. In other words, the car's work environment, like Woking itself, is supremely well suited for good choices.
But the best way to describe the gestalt of the 12C is to say what it isn't, and that's a Ferrari 458 Italia. Here we meet Ron Dennis again. After decades in the Formula 1 business—and it is a business first—McLaren has only one real rival, and the 12C takes the rivalry to the street. Mr. Dennis is channeling Von Clausewitz: It's war with Ferrari by other means.
So the 12C feels utterly different. Consider the car's unique carbon-fiber "monocell." Such structures are incredibly stiff and lightweight but also awfully expensive, requiring days of skilled handwork to build. That's why they've been reserved for rare isotopes such as the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo and McLaren's own F1, the first road car with a full-carbon tub (1993). The 12C debuts a still-secret process whereby the monocell can be punched out in a mere four hours. The result forms the foundation of a car that can compete price-wise with the Italia—figure $230,000 among friends—but it weighs nearly 300 pounds less. At McLaren, Bob in design absolutely hearts Sam in purchasing.
Still, the 12C also suffers a bit from the endless triangulation. For efficiency and packaging reasons—the car is a touch smaller than the Italia—McLaren chose the tiny 3.8-liter turbo engine. In the Ferrari, the naturally aspirated V8, with its crimson cam covers, is a galling showpiece of aluminized testosterone. In the McLaren, there's a lot of carbon fiber but almost no engine visible. Likewise with the sound of the turbo'ed McLaren: baffled, corked, hissing, an aria sung through a straw. If we're talking sound track and not track times, the Ferrari's spine-tingling Nazgul shriek just kills the McLaren.
And then there's styling, and here the 12C collapses under the weight of its other priorities. Never mind thrilling. This is not even an interesting car to look at, with little amplitude or sculpting in the body and a pro forma supercar profile nicked off an eighth-grader's spiral-notebook cover. The 12C's signature design flourish is the massive engine-cooling gills ahead of the rear wheel arches. At some angles these make the car look like its being overtaken, being consumed, by a Dyson vacuum.
The designer of record is ex-Pininfarina ace Frank Stephenson—who I know for a fact is a genius. My understanding is that the engineers (McLaren's equally high-functioning manager Antony Sheriff, perhaps?) tossed the car over the design wall late in the process, leaving Mr. Stephenson little to do but fiddle at the margins. It shows.
And so you have a car that might be taken as a mirror of Mr. Dennis himself. Utterly vanquishing, innovative, a masterpiece of reconciled engineering and accounting. Obsessively compulsively brilliant. And yet oddly flat in affect, a strangely clinical exercise in high-speed, low-altitude mathematics. In performance and dynamics, the McLaren has it all over the Italia. But the Ferrari is emotional, visceral, a whistling scythe of car that cuts off the top of your head and pours in pure automechanical pleasure. The McLaren delivers telemetry.
And so, ironically, you may not want the best sports car in the world. Crazy, huh?

Last of five parts
The No. 16 pick in the NBA draft is, as most fans know, no-man's land.
It's a stretch of road past one destination and miles from another. Your team has done too well to earn a meaningful pick, too poorly to have contended for a title.
This is where the 76ers find themselves as the draft, scheduled for Thursday, approaches. The Sixers hold the No. 16 and No. 50 picks in what has commonly been described as a weak draft.
The team has holes in its roster, but by the middle of this draft - the league's yearly opportunity for its franchises to better themselves - it's unlikely that the remaining talent will be bright enough to fill any of these holes.

Float in train crash that killed vets was donated
MIDLAND, Texas -- The truck that was used as a parade float involved in a horrific train crash in West Texas that killed four U.S. military veterans was donated for the event, organizers said Sunday.
Investigators said the truck began crossing the train tracks even though warning bells were sounding and lights were flashing. It was the second of two parade floats filled with wounded war veterans.
The first float had already cleared the tracks when the accident happened.
The National Transportation Safety Board released a timeline of the accident Saturday, based on information from cameras and data recorders.
"Once the crossing becomes active, people should stop," said Robert Accetta, lead investigator with the NTSB.
The parade Thursday was organized by a group called Show of Support and was an annual event in Midland for nine years.
Investigators have not identified the driver of the float. Show of Support spokesman Michael McKinney said only that the truck was donated but did not identify the owner.
Part of the investigation includes whether the group had the proper permit.
Nine seconds before the crash, the train sounded its horn, a blaring that lasted four seconds, according to NTSB spokesman Mark Rosekind. The guardrail hit the truck, and then the engineer pulled the emergency brake, trying to bring the train that was traveling at 62 mph to a screeching halt.
Some people tried to jump off the float, witnesses said. Four veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan were killed and 16 more people were injured.

Is it a case of extraordinary coincidence or sinister foul play? A millionaire's young son and girlfriend died a few days apart on July 11 and 13, 2011, in the same mansion and stunningly, law enforcement had ruled none as foul play.
Now a new independent medical report has ruled 6-year-old Max Shacknai's death a homicide. What was ruled as an accidental fall from his father's Coronado, Calif., mansion by the state, is now classified as a brutal murder; for his injuries are allegedly consistent with being beaten and thrown off a balcony or him jumping off in terror to escape the brutal beating. These findings come nine months after his mother Dina Shacknai, dissatisfied with the state's findings, had an independent investigation into her son's sudden death.
The initial story was father's girlfriend, 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau was in the shower when she heard a crash, only to find Max lying seriously hurt surrounded by a broken chandelier. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died of his injuries four days later. His death was ruled as an accidental fall down the stairs.
The tragic events took a turn for the bizarre when two days later girlfriend Zahau was found dead, hanging naked, with her hands and feet bound, in the courtyard of the same mansion. Stunningly, her death was ruled a suicide. How did she kill herself with both pair of limbs tied?
The plot has many twists, for incidentally, Shacknai's brother Adam was staying in the mansion's guest house at the time, and he was the one who reportedly found Rebecca and called the police.
The deaths of young Max, son of Jonah Shacknai, CEO/founder of Medicis Pharmaceuticals and girlfriend Rebecca Zahua have haunted many and critics can't understand how Coronado authorities could rule Rebecca's death a suicide. Why they did not connect it to Max's and kept the investigation alive.
Rebecca's family vehemently denies she took her own life for they said she was staunchly religious. They were seen late last year on Dr. Phil's television show pleading for help in uncovering what they called "the truth" about both tragedies.
So who threw Max over the mansion's bannister? How did Rebecca kill herself by hanging with both hands tied? Why did police rush to this bizarre conclusion? Why haven't they reopened both cases? Where does millionaire Jonah Shacknai fit in all this?
There are several scenarios, all sinister, floating out there. The original hypothesis by police was Rebecca may have been so distraught by Max's accident on her watch and subsequent death, that she couldn't live with the painful guilt anymore.
Other allegations run from the dad hurting young Max, then killing his girlfriend to keep her from talking, to the plot of him killing her as revenge for her causing the death of his son literally or blaming her for it indirectly.
There are also reports that the twin sister of Shacknai's ex-wife was at the mansion hours before Rebecca was found hanging, but this angle has not been officially corroborated.
It's all wild speculations and theories at this point, but according to the independent medical report, one thing is certain right now and that is Max's death was no accident.
Rebecca's family is also fiercely fighting for answers and have hired their own independent investigators as well as having her body exhumed. This new autospy performed by Dr. Cyril Wecht allegedly show that the young woman did not die from hanging for her neck was not fractured. There were also signs of blunt trauma to the head. Wecht recommends the cause of death be changed from suicide to "undetermined." The coroner did not heed this advice, for reportedly the official cause of death remains the same.
If her neck wasn't fractureed and she was hit on the head, why did Coronado's coroner rule the death as suicide by hanging? The plot thickens and gets murkier and murkier.
Meanwhile CEO Jonah Shacknai is under investigation for questionable business practices pertaining to stocks, inflating his company's value, a trust fund and company insurance.

DJ Loup Rouge Joins Rob Swift for "Dope on Plastic" at Scion AV Streaming Radio
Rob Swift and his show "Dope on Plastic" return for another year at Scion AV Streaming Radio. "Dope on Plastic" is the long-running program that specializes in both exposing boundary pushing modern hip-hop and recognizing turntable classics. On this spin, Swift is joined by DJ Loup Rouge.
Like Swift, Loup Rouge is from Queens, New York and he similarly has a non-traditional take on production. As he writes about his "Dope on Plastic" mix, "We are children of the wind rose. It's a shame that we marginalize ourselves from everything even with the music we listen to due to "boarders." The joy of music is universal and with this mix I intend to break those barriers. Join me around the world in 60 minutes."

I find these routine problems on almost every forum I visit. Please don't misunderstand me. It's just as we advance to college, things change suddenly . Studies become challenging all of a sudden. As a result, students encounter trouble in doing their homework. to convert a parabolic equation from simplified form to standard form, you must complete the in itself is a quite challenging subject. There is a program named as Algebrator which can help you in this situation.

I likewise have discovered Algebrator is an extraordinary piece of to convert a parabolic equation from simplified form to standard form, you must complete the software . I hardly recall my ineptness to understand the constructs of absolute values, algebraic signs or inverse matrices because I have become so good in various subject areas of to convert a parabolic equation from simplified form to standard form, you must complete the. Algebrator has executed cleanly for me in Algebra 1, Remedial Algebra and College Algebra. I very strongly recommend this solution because I could not find a single insufficiency using Algebrator.

TOLEDO (AP) - The toxins that contaminated the drinking water supply of 400,000 people in the Toledo area didn't just suddenly appear.
Water plant operators along western Lake Erie have long been worried about this very scenario as a growing number of algae blooms have turned the water into a pea soup color in recent summers, leaving behind toxins that can sicken people and kill pets.
In fact, the problems on the shallowest of the five Great Lakes brought on by farm runoff and sludge from sewage treatment plants have been building for more than a decade.
While residents around Ohio's fourth-largest city were being told to avoid drinking tap water for a second day, discussion began to center around how to stop the pollutants fouling the lake that supplies drinking water for 11 million people.
"People are finally waking up to the fact that this is not acceptable," Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins said Sunday.

China Cracks Down on 'Negative' Culture
People in China generally agree that it is important to celebrate the country's rich history, but its culture police think there is too much of the wrong kind of celebrating going on.
Two agencies, the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, have banned the promotion of "negative historical figures or literary works" for tourism purposes, theoretically ending a longstanding practice by Chinese cities of playing up their ties to racy cultural icons like the lustful Ximen Qing through festivals, theme parks and merchandise.
A few lucky destinations in China, like Mao's hometown of Shaoshan in Hunan province, are blessed with the notoriety of a state-approved celebrity, allowing them to rake in tourism dollars. But for most Chinese towns, bringing in tourists is hard work, which is made easier if they can stake a claim to someone famous, whether real, mythical or literary.
Disputes can flare up among towns claiming to be the original homes of the same popular character.

The question with no answer kept nagging at them: How did he get in? How did the man who killed their daughter Carrie Lynn Yoder, 26, get into her Baton Rouge apartment late on March 3 so that he could rape and strangle her and finally dump her body near a bridge? "We have no clue whether he came in through a back window or the front door," says Carrie's mother, Lynda Yoder. "But it's always been our speculation that he came in wearing a uniform, because she never would have opened the door that late to a stranger."
Lynda and her husband, David, may not need to speculate much longer now that police in Atlanta have arrested the man they believe is the Louisiana serial killer. Former truck driver Derrick Todd Lee, 34, suspected of murdering five women in the Baton Rouge area and possibly two others in nearby Zachary, had eluded capture and even identification for most of his alleged 18-month killing spree, creating a sense of terror and panic among women in Baton Rouge. But in early May a break in another suspected homicide case (see box) led police to Lee, who skipped town and fled to Atlanta. Late on May 27 police got an FBI tip that Lee had been spotted in front of a tire shop in West Atlanta. Officers from the fugitive unit arrested him there without incident. Said Atlanta Police Chief Richard Pennington: "We have taken a very dangerous person that is a serial-murder suspect off the streets."
The emerging portrait of Lee offers clues about how he may have fooled and disarmed his apparent victims. Those who know the muscular, 6'1" Lee say he is anything but menacing; rather, he was always well-groomed, friendly and even charming. "He's congenial and gets along with people very well," says Richard Mecum, chief of the local U.S. Marshals office, which aided in the search. Lee's criminal record, though, tells another story. He has been arrested several times on Peeping Tom charges, most recently in 1999, was booked for beating up a woman in a bar in 2000 and convicted of breaking into a home in 1993. The unemployed Lee—who, before he fled, lived with his wife, Jacqueline Denise Lee, and their two children in St. Francisville, near Baton Rouge—filed for bankruptcy in 2002 and was served with foreclosure papers this May 16.
The search for the Baton Rouge serial killer began in July 2002, after DNA tests on the body of the third victim, Pam Kinamore, revealed a single person had murdered all three women. The news plunged Baton Rouge into a near frenzy, as frightened women stopped jogging outdoors, stocked up on pepper spray and signed up for self-defense classes. After Yoder's death in March, police appeared more stymied than ever, retracting a sketch they had released in 2002 and admitting they weren't sure of the killer's race.
Then came the big break: a tip that Lee had been overheard talking about the unsolved 1998 disappearance of Randi Mebruer, a divorced mother who lived near the site of one of Lee's arrests. Their suspicions raised, Baton Rouge police found Lee on May 5 and administered a DNA swab test. With no reason to hold him, they let him go. Police surveillance of Lee slackened when the DNA results took longer than expected, allowing him to slip away by the time he was named the top suspect. Traveling alone, he stayed for a week at the Lakewood Motor Lodge south of Atlanta, where he barbecued for guests and even organized a Bible-study group. He checked out after police released his photo May 26.
The next day his luck finally ran out. Lee's arrest brings hope to relatives like Lynda and David Yoder, who may finally learn what happened to their loved ones. And yet, Lynda says now, answering all those unthinkable questions "isn't going to change anything. If he followed her in or broke in, knowing how he did it isn't going to help." Instead they will summon good memories of their daughter, a savvy world traveler with a flair for adventure. Those memories will have to sustain them over the trying days ahead. "It will be awful to sit in a courtroom" with Lee, says Lynda. "But for Carrie, I know I have to be there."

Apple's Steve Jobs was open to making smaller iPad: Executive
SAN JOSE: Steve Jobs was receptive to Apple Inc making a smaller tablet, a senior executive said in a 2011 email revealed on Friday, fanning speculation it plans to make a mini-iPad to take on cheaper gadgets from Google Inc and Amazon.
An Apple mini-version of the market-dominating 10-inch iPad could counter increasing inroads made by tablets such as the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7. But the company has never confirmed the intensifying talk of such a launch.
Vice President Eddy Cue urged then-chief operating officer Tim Cook in January 2011 to build a 7-inch tablet, according to an email from Cue that Samsung Electronics presented as evidence in a U.S. patent trial.
In an email addressed also to software chief Scott Forstall and marketing head Phil Schiller, Cue said he believed there was a market for a 7-inch tablet and that "we should do one."
Cue's brief email was introduced on Friday as part of a high-wattage trial that will play out in a San Jose courtroom this summer and is expected to transfix the technology industry.
"There will be a 7-inch market and we should do one. I expressed this to Steve several times since Thanksgiving and he seemed very receptive the last time," the executive wrote in the email. "I found email, books, Facebook, and video very compelling on a 7-inch. Web browsing is definitely the weakest point, but still usable."
Cue had previously forwarded an article entitled "Why I just dumped the iPad (hint: size matters)". He wrote: "Having used a Samsung Galaxy, I tend to agree with many of the comments below (except actually moving off the iPad)."
Apple and Samsung are going toe-to-toe in a patents dispute mirroring a struggle for industry supremacy between two rivals that control more than half of worldwide smartphone sales.

Background: Pregnant women and infants who get influenza are at increased risk for severe illness.
Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity and transplacental antibody transfer of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) vaccine administered during pregnancy.
Design: Prospective, multicenter, single-group clinical trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT01024400)
Setting: Five level-3 perinatal centers in France.
Patients: 107 pregnant women between 220/7 and 320/7 weeks of gestation.
Intervention: An intramuscular dose of a nonadjuvanted H1N1 vaccine that contained 15 mcg of hemagglutinin.
Measurements: Proportion of women with an influenza antibody titer of 1:40 or greater at days 21 and 42 after vaccination, delivery, and 3 months after delivery. Seroconversion rate, fold increase in the geometric mean titer 21 days after vaccination, and proportion of neonates with an antibody titer of 1:40 or greater at birth were also assessed.
Results: At baseline, 19% of the women had an antibody titer of 1:40 or greater. At day 21, 98% of the women had an antibody titer of 1:40 or greater, the seroconversion rate was 93%, and the fold increase in geometric mean titer was 67.4. At day 42, delivery, and 3 months after delivery, 98%, 92%, and 90% of the women, respectively, had an antibody titer of 1:40 or greater. Ninety-five percent of the cord serum samples obtained from 88 neonates showed an antibody titer of 1:40 or greater. The median neonate–mother antibody titer ratio was 1.4.
Limitations: Only healthy pregnant women were selected. Data on hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers of infants were reported only at birth.
Conclusion: A single dose of a nonadjuvanted influenza A(H1N1) vaccine with 15 mcg of hemagglutinin triggered a strong immune response in pregnant women and a high rate of neonatal seroprotection.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pledged Wednesday that he and his state would stand with Israel "in all its endeavors."
The rising Republican star is visiting the Jewish state on his first official overseas trip.
He met with several high profile Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, who called the governor an "outstanding friend of Israel."
The trip has triggered speculation that the governor is positioning himself for a run for a national office. Israel is a popular stop for U.S. politicians seeking to strengthen their political credibility.
But Christie said the trip is aimed at strengthening ties between Israel and The Garden State.
He is scheduled to travel to Jordan later this week to meet with King Abdullah II.

According to A-list event planner Mindy Weiss, the last thing most parties need is more. "Don't stress thinking 'More is more,' " says Weiss, who has handled over-the-top (yet somehow stress-free) celebrations for, among many others, Ellen DeGeneres, Ashlee Simpson, Eva Longoria Parker, Nicole Richie, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Take the menu choices. You don't need to pile on exotic or trendy dishes. "I most often find when the client says, 'We need more,' what actually gets eaten is the familiar." As for the decor, remember that "this is your home, not a ballroom." Rather than try to turn your living room into Christmas at the Ritz by buying loads of holiday-specific decorations, "use things you have in your house—that crystal bowl you got as a wedding gift that you don't know what to do with."
Applying that philosophy, Weiss took on PEOPLE'S challenge: a dessert party for $100, cocktails for $200 and a full sit-down dinner for less than $300. Doable? "Absolutely," says Weiss. With that budget, "You can entertain in a high-end manner." And don't feel you must follow her every suggestion exactly, she advises. "Get ideas, get inspiration. But put your own personality in too. That's the thing people remember."
On the menu:
Roast Turkey & Gravy
Carrot Pudding Soufflés
Sautéed Haricots Verts
Traditional Stuffing
Ruby Salad
Pumpkin Pie
Dinner for 15 UNDER $300
To make your holiday dinner a big, expansive affair for 15, go with a buffet rather than passed platters, says Weiss. "I love buffets. A full table makes people feel warm, cozy and secure." Alongside favorite foods, Weiss works in decorative touches. "I pull things from my house and make it an art piece—Lalique statues next to the brussels sprouts—those things in your home that you think, 'What am I going do with that?' " Or she'll hit flea markets for "vintage Indians and pilgrims." The menu is familiar—and affordable because of it: "The places that sell turkey and cranberries are buying masses of it." But she also thinks people should veer from the standards to "bring in something you grew up with." If homemade pie isn't one of your traditions, fine. It isn't one of hers either. "I stand in line at the bakery for my pie."
mix it up...
A beautiful table doesn't need to match. At the wedding of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Weiss used many china patterns for a fun, eclectic feel. "Borrow five plates each from friends and family—it's a great way to include them."

On the menu:

Pastry Cups with Warm Brie
Mini Burgers
Grilled Cheese with Fig Jam
Cocktails for 20 UNDER $200
People will say, 'What if so-and-so doesn't like my champagne? He's used to Dom Perignon!' " says Weiss. With a cocktail party, she advises, "what you're serving is what you're serving. Let people be gracious. If they're not, don't invite them again." In addition to nonalcoholic drinks, she recommends having one signature cocktail, such as the "Ruby Slip Martini" she created for Seal and Heidi Klum, which combines vodka, limoncello, raspberry and peach juices. For a party of 20, she thinks 30 pieces of five passed hors d'oeuvres is right. Have a beef, chicken, fish and two vegetarian. "Don't overdo it with 10 choices; five keeps up the excitement of 'What's next?' " Again, she goes for ease: In the assortment at left, she bought mini buns, frozen pastry shells and other conveniences. Lastly? "Great music. Only about 45 minutes of 'holiday' music then change it. Reggae? Motown? Classics? Rap? Know your guests well enough to know what they like."

Cookies for 20 UNDER $100
People go to trouble to find the fanciest dessert, when truly people want comfort food like old-fashioned cookies," says Weiss, who set up a cookie bar at Eva Longoria Parker's bridal shower. "Baking is very inexpensive. But you can find great cookies too." Weiss buys both from bakeries and from big-box stores like Costco in L.A. It's easy to make a party like this feel plentiful, because, as she points out, "with a dessert theme, guests aren't starving; they've already eaten dinner." She rounds out the offerings with a cocktail and other beverages, plus berries or fruit "for the dieters." As for the cookies, elevate them with creative displays. Here she used glass jars, but if you don't have them, "use bowls, or kids' cookie jars, pitchers, vases. Delicious is delicious."
