Hey Jill,ReplyDelete
Glad you enjoyed Ashland. It is a cool town - lots of good restaurants to be explored. Good for you out riding dirt. Just so you know, now that you're in the lower states - technically, you're not allowed to ride a bike on the PCT. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen (I've done it too), but you could run into conflict with people who want to quote the rule. Too bad, cuz there is some good riding on the PCT.
One is reminded by the photos and the comments how narrow and cramped Juneau's terrain is by contrast with the coastal regions to the south. And the insufferable cramping of the irredentist trail walkers. A tasty dilemma for one thinking of "cities I could live in" used to wielding a bicycle with impunity.ReplyDelete
I'd like to live there too... that place is amazing!ReplyDelete


text: Each time I drive in 4wd i hear a loud clunk, mostly during slow tight turning but also sometimes just when starting to move straight ahead.almost sounds like a u joint but super loud. I have checked every thin out and all seams tight and not worn. I know whata cv joint sounds like when it's going and this definitely is not a cv joint. I has almost a ping noise to it like if you were to push a dent out of sheet metal. Any thoughts? also it is mostly when driving in reverse and turning.

Reviews of this property
Very nice small apartment which is pleasantly quiet in the backyard. Public transport, supermarkets, etc. are very easy to reach. For a holiday in Vienna optimally geeinget, also thanks to the very nice owner!
Sehr nette kleine Wohnung, die angenehm ruhig im Hinterhof liegt. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Supermärkte etc. sind sehr schnell zu erreichen. Für einen Urlaub in Wien optimal geeinget, auch dank dem sehr netten Vermieter!
Beautiful property! Raoul is a nice host! Light arrival because the apartment is near the main train station in Vienna. Nevertheless, since the apartments are very quiet in the backyard. Restaurants, a supermarket, the subway and the tram are within easy reach. Price performance ratio. On our next visit we will stay again in Vienna in the apartment of Raoul. We had a great time in Vienna. Cozy room! Close to the main station. Quiet as the apartments are in the backyard. Restaurants, a supermarket, a metro station and the tram are nearby. Raoul is a friendly host!
Schöne Unterkunft! Raoul ist ein netter Gastgeber! Leichte Anreise da die Wohnung in der Nähe des Wiener Hauptbahnhofs ist. Trotzdem sehr ruhig da die Apartments im Hinterhof liegen. Restaurants, ein Supermarkt, die U-Bahn und die Straßenbahn sind leicht zu erreichen. Preis Leistung stimmt.
Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Wien bleiben wir gerne wieder in dem Apartment von Raoul.

appartement très agréable, belle salle de bain. bien situé . nous étions en vélos facile pour les garer et en sécurités.
We were very satisfied with the apartment, it was very clean and bright and modern, from street noise we have heard nothing pure, it was absolutely quiet. Technically very good traffic because S-Bahn, U-Bahn were located in the vicinity, we were even able to walk through the beautiful Belvedere Park to the city park, so very centrally located. Upon arrival, as well as upon departure everything has worked out great and everyone was very nice and attentive. A thank you to Raoul ... we'll be back!
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Appartement, es war sehr sauber und freundlich und modern eingerichtet, Vom Strassenlärm haben wir rein gar nichts gehört, es war absolut ruhig. Verkehrstechnisch sehr gut gelegen da S-Bahn, U-Bahn in der Nähe waren, wir konnten sogar zu Fuss schön durch den Belvederepark zum Stadtpark gehen, also sehr zentral gelegen. Bei der Anreise wie auch bei der Abreise hat alles super geklappt und alle waren sehr nett und aufmerksam. Ein Danke Schön an Raoul...wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
Really good appartment! Raoul and Sigrid where very kind for coming to do the checkout at 7a.m in the morning. They also gave us lot of information about the city.
This is a very well situated location, 2 minute walk from Belvedere Palace (especially not to miss, where you can admire the works of Gustav Klimt) and very close to the city center (Karlplatz). The apartment is beautiful, very functional, you have everything you need (except an oven but we can manage it easily). I advise you to stay in Vienna!
C'est une location très bien située, à 2 minute à pieds du palais Belvédère (à ne surtout pas rater, vous pourrez y admirez les œuvres de Gustave Klimt) et très proche du centre ville (Karlplatz). L'appartement est très beau, très fonctionnel, vous avez tout ce qu'il faut (excepté un four mais on s'en passe facilement). Je vous le conseille pour un séjour à Vienne !
Great place, clean and excellent location. I recomend this place. Thank you for everything.
Good place for a city trip to Vienna. A bit outside the city center but tram stop and commuter train station are just around the corner. Besides, walking through the close by Belveder park to the city center only takes 20min and it's a nice walk.
The flat is kept in good condition, nicely furnished and quite affordable.
The apartment was really wonderful, everything what was promised by photos and on the website was there. The apartment is really easy accessible and close to the hauptbahnhof. For a city trip to Vienna this apartment is an ideal and comfortable stay! Furthermore, the service was perfect!
Raoul is a super host! The apartment we found exactly as before! To cheap and good to stay in Vienna, it's perfect! Raoul had good tips and information for us! :-)
Raoul ist ein Super Gastgeber! Das Appartment haben wir genau wie beschrieben vor gefunden! Um günstig und gut in Wien zu übernachten ist es perfekt! Raoul hatte gute Tips und Informationen für uns! :-)

Painted the grill not that it helps but it was worth a shot.
Good looking truck...As beefy as it is, it looks like it can go just about anywhere.
Thanks Im considering doing the whole truck in satin black or satin olive w/ satin black trim
I'm kinda partial to the white w/black....reminds me of another truck :glasses:
Kidding....I haven't seen the olive but I'm sure both colors would turn out great.
Here's the olive in this video.
I can picture that color on a truck which is beefy like yours. It'd fit right in when off-roading in wilderness....Not bad.
Still got a lot off body work to do before I make my final decision so my mind may change by then LOL.
Nice truck... Just picked up a 96 k2500 for $3k myself looking similiar as yours. My new to me winter beater with Plow.lol
Nice ride!
Man I wish mine were extended cab. I'm digging the roll bar.

Clobex Lotion Patient Information including How Should I Take
In this Article
- What is clobetasol topical (Clobex Lotion)?
- What are the possible side effects of clobetasol topical?
- What is the most important information I should know about clobetasol topical?
- What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using clobetasol topical?
- How should I use clobetasol topical?
- What happens if I miss a dose?
- What happens if I overdose?
- What should I avoid while using clobetasol topical?
- What other drugs will affect clobetasol topical?
- Where can I get more information?
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using clobetasol topical?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to clobetasol.
To make sure you can safely take clobetasol topical, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have any type of skin infection.
Also tell your doctor if you have diabetes. Topical steroid medicines absorbed through the skin may increase the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood or urine.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether clobetasol topical will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether clobetasol topical passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not use this medication on a child without medical advice. Children are more likely to absorb large amounts of a topical steroid through the skin. Steroid absorption in children may cause unwanted side effects, or a delay in growth with long-term use. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication over a long treatment period.
How should I use clobetasol topical?
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.
Wash your hands before and after using clobetasol topical, unless you are using the medication to treat the skin on your hands.
Apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it gently into the skin. Do not use this medication over a large area of skin.
Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with clobetasol topical can increase the amount of medicine your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve within 2 weeks of using this medicine, or if you develop signs of a bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection. It is important to use clobetasol topical regularly to get the most benefit.
If you use this medication long-term, your blood will need to be tested often. Visit your doctor regularly.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep from freezing.

Slow Down in the Birthplace of Wine Country
Best Western Plus Sonoma Valley Inn • Sonoma, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Garden Fireplace Double Queen Room
- $40 Wine Tasting Voucher to Charles Creek Vineyard, Envolve Winery, Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery, or Similar
- Book Unlimited Nights for an Extended Stay Based on Availability
The Destination
Slow-paced with easygoing taste, the town of Sonoma stands in stark contrast to its glitzy neighbor, Napa. Brimming with atmospheric adobe buildings, Mission-era mansions, and family-run farms and vineyards, the town—the oldest in Wine Country—looks much the way it did when it was established in the early 1800s. Wine lovers will enjoy pairing a pastoral picnic with an afternoon of wine tours, while thrill-seekers can pick up the tempo with a biplane, race car, or hot air balloon ride.
The Digs
Just steps away from the historic plaza where California declared its independence, the Best Western Plus Sonoma Valley Inn stakes a claim on comfort. Upgraded quality bedding adorns these Double Queen Rooms, where fireplaces and private patios provide plenty of space to unwind. Sip on a bottle of your favorite wine in the garden gazebo, where guests can enjoy the Sonoma countryside as kids play in the saltwater swimming pool.
The Diversions
• Charles Creek Vineyard
• Envolve Winery
• Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery
• Sonoma Plaza
• Jack London State Historic Park
• Sonoma Raceway

text: Before introducing you to Gatsby, let me tell you about Daisy. She was the sweetest little doggie and she died two years ago today after an allergic reaction to a routine shot and an incompetent vet's overreaction. While I still miss her (and her sister Ranger, best doggie ever in the entire world), I've been thinking for a while about getting a new puppy. I also think the best way to honor both Daisy and Ranger's memory is to give another abandoned, wonderful doggie a new home. A week ago, a friend of mine was fostering a Jack Russell Terrier mix with the intention of adopting him, but his living situation changed and he was no longer in a position to take him. He briefly joked about giving him to me, but my mom was supposed to have knee surgery and a hornball puppy who humps everything in sight spirited puppy would not be good. It was a shame, because I met him a few times and he was just so . Well, my mom's surgery was cancelled yesterday and she was saying wouldn't it be nice to have a puppy again, so I called the place and he was still available! And now he's home with me! I really liked the place--when I called, they told me all the "bad" things--he was in a litter of six and is the last one because he's energetic, "friendly", and is a licker. I told them I was used to the "terrior" breed and I wouldn't want a dog any other way. I really like the place where I got him--the adoption cost was 150, and it includes neutering and a microchip which he'll get in August. He discovered the kitchen first . He moved onto the backyard, where he ran around like he had never seen grass before (but liked it) and protected me from the garden hose. He loooooves Pepper the family dog. Pepper is coping. . Currently, Gatsby is napping on the loveseat, which he has claimed for himself. While he's napping, I'm going to get some puppy supplies. Recommendations appreciated. But just as one of my particulars for food, I will not buy anything that has corn, wheat, or byproducts. He only weighs about five pounds, and while none of my dogs have ever been large, none of them have EVER been this small. He's smaller than my cat! All the treats we have on hand are too hard/big for him to eat. I also need recommendations for toys. Daisy and Ranger pretty much just used each other as toys and pretty much ignored what I gave them, unless it was furry and squeaked (Ranger only).

The guy put up 13-21 and 163 yards with 1 touchdown. To me that's not even worthy of an article, yet it's 7:00 in the morning and I've come across 3 articles already just on my phone, and I haven't even picked up the paper yet. The lovefest this guy received last night on ESPN was sickening, I felt like throwing my remote through the television. They got lucky on a few plays that went their way. I get the argument that he did just enough to get his team a victory, but I'm not buying into this RG111 hype. I get that the Redskins haven't had anything worth talking about for the last decade, but please media, let it go, there is far more talented rookie QB's to talk about every freaking day. Don't mind me, just venting.

UTSA adopts new online calendar system
By Lowa Mwilambwe
Director, University Center
(May 1, 2007)--Effective May 1, UTSA will take the first step to move the current Web event calendars to a new integrated calendar system supported by Resource25 software.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

View the new UTSA calendar.
Additionally, UTSA will migrate all other university calendars to Resource25 by August 2007. Until August, the new calendar will be available only through the university network. After testing and feedback, the calendar will be accessible via the Internet by August.
Resource25 is a calendar and scheduling program that UTSA used previously only for class and event scheduling. Moving to the integrated calendar will make it easier to learn about events throughout the UTSA community by centralizing event listings. When development is complete, departments and colleges will be able to feed calendar listings to the Web sites. Additionally, the new system will enhance space utilization and allow for better coordination of resources.
For more information about the new calendar, contact John David Garza, UTSA Resource25 administratior, at (210) 458-4736.

The two center non-swell neck rivets do have 4.0 mm shanks in the AK-74 though. You'll see the countersinks in the trunnion for the swell neck rivets.

Getting Started with Game Development
Okay, so I'm going to have a couple sections in here, for the various stages of people who'd like to do games programming, but don't know how (again, at various levels of knowledge). I'll try to be as concise as possible. Basically, the four stages I'll talk about are beginner, console, pre-graphical and graphical. I'll outline them shortly here:
- Beginner: You've never programmed before.
- Console: You've done hello world, maybe a bit of string manipulation, some arithmetic, used variables, and done a few loops; you can compile a basic program and run it. Probably where people who've taken a single basic C++/Java class should be.
- Pre-Graphical: You essentially know to work with a programming language, but you've never done any sort of graphics, just console stuff, maybe you've opened a socket or two, spawned a thread, or written a text-based game, but you definitely know what classes are, what a virtual function is. Probably where people who've taken that second C++/Java class should be.
- Graphical: You're able to make 2D/3D applications, and are wondering where to go from here. This'll be less like a tutorial, and more just suggestions of interesting topics, though obviously there's a massive diversity in ways you can specialize here (graphics, networking, asset management, tools, etc..)
I'll be adding to this info over time, so it may change/expand/shrink without warning. At the top of each section, I'll post a TL;DR version, which'll basically just be a bunch of links with a couple of words of context. After that, I'll fill in the larger section of the post with more stuff that'll probably help move you along and motivate. Also, please keep in mind that these posts are written with a main focus on C++; if you're slightly more experienced than the pre-graphical section, the language shouldn't matter too much for you, so you'll still be able to get something out of the post.
Also, please note this constitutes only my highly biased advice. There are plenty of ways to go about getting ready to program a game; this is only one of many.
Objective: To get you to the point where you can compile a simple C++ program, and output simple phrases and numbers to the console.
TL;DR: Download this, install it, if necessary, follow this for help. Read this, up until about lesson 11, and do the examples. Congratulations! You're at console level!
Okay, so you're interested in doing a bit of game programming, but know nothing about programming. That's OK! It's never too late or too early to start to learn to program, though you should probably know at least basic algebra (Grade 7 stuff).
Before we get started, I'm just going to give you a basic little overview of how computers work. I know, it may be a little boring, but I'll try and keep it as short as possible.
Computers are basically machines that do exactly what you tell them to do. If you can imagine doing something, logically, step by step, chances are, a computer can do it. All programs on a computer, whether they're written in C++, Java, C#, Ruby, Perl, whatever, at a basic level boil down to a computer doing one of a small amount of things one at a time, very fast. Everything runs in a sequence; a computer doesn't do two things at once (this is an extreme oversimplifcation, as today we have multiple cores, instruction pipelining, etc.., but accept this as fact for now). So you should think about programming, basically, as a long laundry list of instructions that you're giving the computer, which it will do, regardless of whether or not they make sense (this is the cause of bugs; the computer just checks to see it can read your instructions, not whether they make logical sense).
Now, your first question probably is, what exactly do I need to write instructions for my computer? The answer is, you don't need anything fancy (well, it IS fancy, it just doesn't look it), you just need what's called a compiler. A compiler basically takes simple text files, (like a .txt) and turns them into instructions the computer can read (.exe files). That's really all you need at the most basic level. However, while you can program with that, and notepad, it's generally better to get what's called an IDE (an integrated development environment), which gives you a bit more stuff than just the compiler; it'll color text, and format things in such a way that it's a lot easier on the eyes, and give you a whole bunch of extra useful features which I won't go into right now.
So, what you should be doing is downloading this (codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe), and installing it, and using following this for help, if you need it. Code::Blocks is a solid cross-platform IDE (will work on linux, mac, or windows), that'll let you easily work with and make small programs.
Once you've installed it, you should be ready to go. The whole process will take care of installing your compiler (g++/mingw), a debugger (gdb), useful for getting rid of bugs (big shock, I know), and a nice text editor. So, when everything's installed, and you're ready to go, fire up the program, and take a look at these tutorials: http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson1.html, up until about lesson 11.
Objective: To familiarize you with object-oriented programming, and some of the more advanced features of C++.
TL;DR: Read these up until lesson 20. Then read about templates. Then read about enums and the preprocessor. Then read about the STL. Yey! you're now pre-graphical.
Objective: To prepare you to begin working in a 2D/3D graphical environment.
TL;DR: Learn to use SDL. All of it, hopefully, but mainly the core and SDL_image. Good tutorial here. Learn about OpenGL from here when you're done. A good 2D/3D math primer is here (Also applicable for introductory-level college classes!). You need to understand matrices, vectors and their transformations. When all that's done, and you can write a proper 2D/3D , you're now able to make a full-ish game!
Objective: None, we'll just swap advice, interesting tutorials/papers, etc..
TL;DR: Somewhat less advice spam (though still some ) from me, more talking. I've felt the best way to gain experience and build up skills is, obviously, to try something new. That being the case, I've found it's interesting to try out novel techniques, and see how they work, and see if you can actually implement them properly. In this section, I'll basically post papers and stuff I find interesting/novel for games. And here's the first: http://www.ericrisser.com/stuff/Rend...entMapping.pdf.
Four big (optional, opinionated ) pieces of advice for the more advanced crowd; I strongly advise installing Linux, either in a virtualbox or as dual-boot if you're not running it already. It's obviously a personal preference, but I started developing stuff in Windows, and in switching to Linux I've felt my productivity and the ease of using the system for technical tasks massively increase.
Another good thing to look into is Makefiles. It's painful at first, but worth it; it gives you a lot more flexibility in how you want to structure things, though for the vast majority of projects you don't need it. However, sometimes, the IDE just isn't flexible enough to do a few things (Code::Blocks can't automatically mark folders to add all files matching a pattern to the compiling list, making it a nightmare for independent (i.e. not all in one massive include list), generated code).
Third, if you haven't already, consider learning a scripting language; there's a ton to choose from, and coming from coding C++, or Java, you'll think they're magic. If you don't care about speed, or the nitty-gritty details (games, usually do), they're dead useful to have around; you can write up a tool that might take days in C++ in hours in Perl (my special girl), Ruby or Python (or others).
And lastly, it's always a good idea to use a version control system, even if you're working alone. It's the difference between living in black and white and living in colour, in terms of coding confidence. A VCS basically lets you see all changes you, or someone else has ever made to your code, stores all files, and lets you revert the files to any point at which they ever existed (example; you break your game with a big change, and can't find the reason why. No problem, just rollback with your VCS, all your affected files are now back to the exact way they were when you comitted, yesterday. Or maybe you want to see all line changes since the game was working. You can. Magic). Example of VCSs are CVS, SVN and git. Everyone seems to love git at the moment, but SVN is also active. CVS seems to be dying out.

Guests young and old will enjoy choral performances by the Robert E. Lee High School Madrigal Singers, caroling sing-alongs and character performances. Kids will be drawn to puppet shows, character performances, scavenger hunts, reindeer roping and a special opportunity to write letters to Santa Claus.
"Most families have holiday traditions that have been past down and celebrated from generation to generation," said John Davis, executive director of the museum. "This event gives families an opportunity to learn the traditions and customs of people of other faiths and cultural backgrounds in a comfortable community environment. We hope 'Holiday Texas' will become an annual tradition for San Antonio families."
The museum will be decorated with traditional decorations, and special guests representing a variety of cultures and faiths will be on hand to share the stories of their holiday traditions.
Guests at the event will also experience the exhibit, "19th Century Christmas: Movers and Shakers," which is on display through Jan. 7. The exhibit showcases a collection of first-edition holiday books written by Washington Irving, Clement Clarke Moore, Charles Dickens and Thomas Nast, as well as a collection of holiday lithographs on loan from the Judd Christmas Collection.
Admission to Holiday Texas is $7 for adults and $4 for children (ages 3-12), seniors (ages 65 and up) and military personnel with ID. All exhibits will be open. For more information, call (210) 458-2330 during regular business hours or visit the Institute of Texan Cultures Web site.
UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures is San Antonios cultural-experience museum. Established as the Texas State Exhibits Building for HemisFair in 1968 and later designated as a campus of The University of Texas at San Antonio, the museum has spent nearly forty years telling the stories of Texas's diverse citizens and inviting guests to join in the celebration of Texas's multicultural heritage.
Home to the Texas Folklife Festival, Asian Festival and six other cultural events, ITC seeks to entertain, inform and inspire those who aspire to a greater understanding of the influence of multiculturalism in the Lone Star State. The museum is closed Mondays.

Good lord. Fair Go is an enduring creature.
I first worked on the show 26 years ago - a quarter of
a century - and although it has evolved over time, some things stay the same.
The Fair Go Ad Awards screened this week and included a couple of spoof ads performed by the team and
I thought, "Yep. They are just as cringe-making as they were when I was appearing in them."
I think the one that was most memorable for me was visiting Papakura Military Camp and walking past a line of soldiers. In the Cool Charm ad we were spoofing, the soldiers broke ranks and chased after the Cool Charm girl. In our ad, I had to go chasing after the soldiers as they scattered in all directions.
Was it a laugh? I thought my socks would never dry, as my favourite director was wont to say.
Another thing that hasn't changed is that ads will quite often pop up as a nominee in the Best Ad category and the Worst - proving that an ad that makes an impact will either be loved or loathed.
I remember one year an ad won the Best Award, without making an appearance in the Worst category, and people interviewed on the street, even those who had nominated it for the award, had no idea what it was selling. So best clearly doesn't mean most effective.
I love Fair Go and I'm glad in this slick technological age it's kept some of its cheesy homespun traditions -
I think that's why it's survived for so long.

The B.F.A. program is an intensive, professional degree that prepares students for art careers or graduate study in either fine arts or graphic design. B.F.A. students are admitted by a portfolio review. Students without portfolios may enter the B.A. program and, subsequently, apply to the B.F.A. program. Students in the B.F.A. program obtain a solid foundation and broad studio experience, as well as one or more in-depth concentrations in graphic design, ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture. B.F.A. students are reviewed annually and their studies culminate in a Senior Exhibition. B.F.A. graduates develop technical competence, aesthetic judgment, and a strong commitment to artistic quality.
The foundation studio art experience is an integral component of student preparation in the visual arts. The strength of the foundation program rests on a synthesis of drawing, two and three dimensional design, and art history survey courses. These introductory courses provide the language for visual thinking. The foundation studio art program, along with a broad liberal arts education, provide the building blocks for developing our students creative individuality.
Every art major elects at least one studio area of concentration with a focus on building a mature level of creative expression. This in-depth involvement also enables our students to create a professional level portfolio for their future goals. Many of our students choose to continue their education in a Master of Fine Arts program.
Concentrations are available in:
Admission to the B.F.A. Program is by portfolio review. Freshmen may apply as an incoming freshman or at the end of their freshman or sophomore years.

More excited that Nicks seems to have his vertical speed back.
Question: did Nicks catch that?
Haters! Webby is going to rock this year!
yo thanx for that link rudy, awesome!
The coverage on that was a lot tighter than the picture shows. It was a very well thrown ball by Carr that essentially threw Nicks open.

458 Spider comes with a folding hard-top roof made entirely of aluminumAfter yesterday's leak, we have the official unveiling of the Ferrari 458 Spider.The 458 Spider gets a folding hard-top roof made out of aluminum which deploys in just 14 seconds and provides for a 25 kg advantage over a soft-top option (given the safety engineering requirements needed to create a street-legal cabriolet).Power is supplied by the same 4.5 liter V8 unit from the 458 Italia coupe which delivers 570 PS (425 kW / 563 bhp) and 540 Nm of torque (398 lb-ft).Speaking to the build quality of this open-top 458, Ferrari says that you can have a "normal conversation...at speeds over 200 km/h (124 mph)."Sourcehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBaH4qQiW78&feature=player_embedded

Pictures or photos just don't do it justice!Agreed, although I loved the 458 the moment I first saw a picture of it. But then when I saw one on the street it just took it to another level. It has such beautiful, flowing proportions. It really stands out. I think the nay-sayers focus too much on the small details in pictures, as they have most likely never seen a real one, instead of the overall shape of the car.

i have seen a few in the flesh. It is a truly beautiful vehicle. With the exception of those tail lights. They just don't seem to fit.
I think the entire front end is hideous looking, and the interior is just awkward.But, my favorite supercar is the Mazda Furai, so what do I know when it comes to looks?
The first time a convertible has looked better than the equivalent coupe?

When I began work at a newspaper as a school leaver in the mid-80s there were Toyota Corollas in the fleet. Late-90s and again the Corolla was the work vehicle of choice for my publishing employer. And parked a few floors below me today are Corollas.
Yip, when it comes to picking a vehicle for employees to drive around New Zealand - and for tourists to take in our roads - it's bound to be a "Rolla".
But with the launch of the new-look five-door Corolla, it won't just be the fleet car to beat - it will be the hatchback to match. Not that finding sales will be a battle - the Corolla is the world's top-selling vehicle with one bought every 40 seconds. In New Zealand, it's been the top seller for 15 years and small car segment leader for 28 years, with a record 9817 sold in 1988.
And no surprise, 2013 is already set to be a success for the Toyota NZ. The company's general manager of sales, Steve Prangnell, predicts 5200 sales of the Corolla - covering this new hatch, the sedan (to be replaced in 2014) and the sturdy wagon - but it is considering if it will add the Corolla hybrid to the line-up.
The difficulty for them is that the hatchback hybrid, Prius c, is a hot favourite - with a six month waiting list here - and the Corolla hybrid would cost more than the c and less than the popular Prius.
There's still plenty of choice for buyers as Toyota NZ has moved from two variants to five for the 11th generation Corolla. The new line-up begins with a rental car favourite - the GX - the only one in the range with a six-speed manual transmission, which European tourists prefer.
Instead the rest of the variants - the fleet manager darling the GL and new comers Levin SX and top-of-the-range Levin ZR - are matched with seven-speed auto CVT transmission.
The name "Levin" is an Old English word meaning "lightning" and has been used for the top Corolla models in Japan - not as a nod to the town down the road from Palmerston North-based Toyota New Zealand.
If I were Toyota NZ I'd be teaching my dealers to pronounce it Lev-in (rhymes with heaven) to remove connection with the once bustling Manawatu town.
The range starts at $33,490 for the GX, with bluetooth, 16in wheels, cruise control and voice recognition standard. My favourite, the leather-seated Levin ZR is priced from $43,690 and gains 17in wheels, smart key and the option of the Panoramic Roof with electric shade.
All the hatch range have an in-line four cylinder 1.8-litre dual VVT-i petrol engine, boasting a maximum output of 103kW at 6400rpm and 173Nm of torque at 4000rpm with improved fuel economy and emissions (down to 6.6L/100km and 152g/km for CVT-equipped models).
But it's the exterior and interior redesign that will gain the Corolla new fans. The hatch has new headlights, a wider and tidier front grille, and rear lamp clusters that connect with the window design, giving it a European look. Inside, the console is cleaner in looks and has a cockpit feel to the instrument panel.
The hatch is longer and lower by 55mm than its predecessor creating a lower centre of gravity - that shows on the road with a more thrilling drive.
The Levin ZR easily handled the tight, numerous corners of the back roads from Palmerston North to Greytown. While the CVT auto can dominate I did override the system using the steering-wheel paddles, pushing the hatch through corners and testing the rev counter.
On the return trip, via the long, straight road of State Highway 2 the fuel economy of CVT on my Levin SX came to the fore. And it was on that stretch - with a Corolla hatch ahead and behind me - that I could appreciate the improved styling of the hatch that makes it a high rolla.

This may have already been addressed...if so, I'm sorry.I'm just curious as to peoples' opinions on this.2012 Nissan 370Z:2013 Nissan 370Z: They gave it vertical marker lights and de-fanged it. I really don't agree with the changes.It looks like a tweaked 350Z.A step up from the 350Z, yes, but I don't like it over the current 370Z.
It definitely looks more like a 350z compared to the current 370z. But I like that they got rid of the fangs, I was never too much a fan of those.
---------'15 Mustang GT Premium 6spd'90 325i 'vert 5spd
Its OK. I like the vertical marker lights, they look like LEDs. I agree that it looks like a tweaked 350 but its all good. I would have prefered if they kept the fangs though.
They are LEDs, daytime running lights if I'm not mistaken
---------'15 Mustang GT Premium 6spd'90 325i 'vert 5spd
Yes, they are LED DRLs.On a semi-related note, I never noticed how the 350Z's roofline was inspired by the 300ZX.
The refreshed 370z looks way better then the normal 370z.
-----------------------------------------------------------------V8's for life
Add this to the list of cars where the refresh makes it look dated. The Altima, A4 and A5 are already on that list.
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
I like the refresh better. But that's because I think the 350Z looks much better than the 370Z. So it's kind of gone backwards in the look department. It should have looked like this first, and then progressed into whatever next.But I still think the 350Z looks miles better than the 370Z. They're not even on the same planet. It's like they took a nice, clean design and just made it as fussy as possible while preserving the overall proportions and profile. I still owned my 350Z when the 370's came out and was massively disappointed. The looks honestly kept me from buying one. And it never did grow on me either.I still kinda want another 350Z.
I liked the fangs. I hate all these vertical whisker lights cars are growing these days. All in all the refresh looks fine though. Not much better or worse.
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
I like the changes looks better now to me. And mk looking at those pics the whole car looks inspired by the 300zx.
--------------------Current vehicles 67 cougar,72 corvette, 75 corvette, 77 firebird, 96 camaro, 98 deville, 00 Monte Carlo, 03 f-150, 04 trailblazer, 07 malibu, 07 caliber
I looked over the 2013 370Z again and came to the conclusion that I like it alot. The 350Z is a looker, and the fangs of the 2012 are overly done. I like them, but are too pronounced. The idea of fangs are there in the 2013 model, which makes it the right amount of aggressiveness. But that 300ZX is just a timeless piece of art. I LOVE THAT CAR, especially with the T-TOPS.
Olds I agree on the 300zx I would take it over a new 370.
--------------------Current vehicles 67 cougar,72 corvette, 75 corvette, 77 firebird, 96 camaro, 98 deville, 00 Monte Carlo, 03 f-150, 04 trailblazer, 07 malibu, 07 caliber
I wouldn't necessarily say "revolting" but it's definitely not refreshing, either. To me at least. I actually really liked the fangs. The new directionals just make it look funny; I don't like how it makes part of the front end awkwardly bulge out.I don't hate it, but I still like the first 370Z bodystyle better. I love how sculptural this car is.
370Z is the only Nissan worth looking at...I use to love the Altima but its getting old so will have to wait and see the new upcoming one.
Looks good!The Z is almost the only Japanese car I'd own. It's a great car in my opinion.

Gunwalker: The Fast and Furious scandal expands Update: Gun control lobby involved?
posted at 1:20 pm on June 20, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
Over the last week we've given you a couple of reports on the emerging scandal surrounding the ATF's disastrously handled Operation Fast and Furious, also known as Operation Gunwalker. Over the weekend, Pajamas Media (where they have been doing a bang-up job breaking and covering this story) brought forth more damning details coming from Darrell Issa's investigation. In particular, some of the comments from whistle-blowers inside the ATF have been beyond alarming.
Page 27: [Special Agent John Dodson, the original whistle blower]
"Well, every time we voiced concerns…But every day being out here watching a guy go into the same gun store buying another 15 or 20 AK-47s or variants or . . . five or ten Draco pistols or FN Five-seveNs . . . guys that don't have a job, and he is walking in here spending $27,000 for three Barrett .50 calibers …and you are sitting there every day and you can't do anything…"
Page 38: [Dodson, speaking about ATF supervisors in Phoenix and their disregard for lives lost due to Fast & Furious]
"[T]here was a prevailing attitude amongst the group and outside of the group in the ATF chain of command… I was having a conversation with Special Agent [L] about the case in which the conversation ended with me asking her are you prepared to go to a border agent's funeral over this… because that's going to happen. And the sentiment that was given back to me by both her, the group supervisor, was that…if you are going to make an omelette [sic], you need to scramble some eggs."
There's more at the link, so check out the entire thing. At this point it's difficult to believe that this isn't going to end very badly for a lot of the players involved. While the old school media was slow off the mark on this story, by this morning even the Morning Joe crew was covering it at MSNBC, so the lid seems to be well and truly off the pot.
The unresolved questions at this stage seem to be less about how this was screwed up so badly, but rather who authorized this debacle and how high up the food chain it goes. As Ed Morrissey already noted, it looks like the president will be tossing acting head of the ATF, Kenneth Melson under the bus. But given the scope of this scandal, the horrific damage which resulted (including the loss of American agents' lives) and the sheer stupidity of the plan, well…
I think you're going to need a bigger bus.
UPDATE: Also at PJM, Bob Owens has yet another update. Was this a move to boost up the gun control lobby?
The obvious answer is that Gunwalker's objective was never intended to be a "legitimate law enforcement interest." Instead, it appears that ATF Acting Director Ken Melson and Department of Justice senior executives specifically created an operation that was designed from the outset to arm Mexican narco-terrorists and increase violence substantially along both sides of the Southwest border.
Success was measured not by the number of criminals being incarcerated, but by the number of weapons transiting the border and the violence those weapons caused. An ATF manager was "delighted" when Gunwalker guns started showing up at drug busts. It would be entirely consistent with this theory if DOJ communications reflected the approval of the ATF senior officials they were colluding with — but as we know, Holder's Department of Justice refuses to cooperate.
ALSO: While this may look like the "Gong" show, the word was "going" as noted in the comments. Corrected.

Renoir Landscapes, 1865-1883
08 Jun 2007 - 09 Sep 2007
The National Gallery of Canada presents Renoir Landscapes, 1865-1883, from 8 June to 9 September 2007. This is the first major exhibition of the artist's landscape paintings and the National Gallery is its only Canadian stop. The exhibition is presented by Sun Life Financial and jointly organized by the National Gallery of Canada, the National Gallery, London, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. "It is a pleasure and an honour to present to Canadian art lovers this summer an exhibition by one of France's greatest painters," said Pierre Théberge, Director of the National Gallery of Canada. "Renoir's landscapes allow us to rediscover an artist whose work evokes an irresistibly appealing approach to life." The exhibition features 56 paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, on loan from art museums and private collections around the world. Through the landscapes, we are able to follow the evolution of Renoir's style, from his early landscapes to fully developed impressionism, and discover how he integrated new elements and expanded his colour palette following travels in Algeria and Italy.

Doesn't have to try to get attention it just naturally gravitates toward her. Very beautiful and has many things going for her from beautiful hair to an amazing figure that other girls would kill for. Captivating smile that makes you want to smile too. When she enters a room all eyes are on her. Very talkative and funny a social butterfly. A very loyal friend and partner, trusts fully, honest, sweet, flirt, caring. Once you have her cherish her. One in a million.

Yamilet (Yah MEEL et) means "beautiful". She's the type of girl that captures attention wherever she goes for having beautiful hair, personality, and an amazing body. Yamilet for being a unique name makes her one in a million. Everyone seems to love her for being sweet, helpful, outgoing, and the prettiest. Her angelic face makes everyone want to stare. Yamilet is an Arabic and Swahili name.

What I wanted to tell with the above is, in our society, particularly decades ago when it was just natural for women to become housewives and seldom had to work, people would tend to feel OK for men to prefer younger women, and would feel not so OK for women to perfer younger men...
For instance, a celebrity is dating with a girl, say, 20 years younger, people would say with envies, "Wow, what a lucky guy he is!" Then a female celebrity is going to marry a boy, 12 years younger, people would say with embarrassments, "Oh, that young?"
Well, a lot of things have changed since then, of course! "How lucky she is!", one of my friedns said when she learned that Madonna dating with A-Rod yeas ago. But for older people, they might still take it unappopriate.
For that matter, and as let's talk mentioned below (about spending their husband's income to chase Daisuke around the world), these aunties would want to hide their love for young Dai from their husbands.
Oh, and fyi, there aren't only aunties for Dai over here; but many other women who would claim themselves Dai's mommies and big sisters.
Dai and Nobu attract many fans who are older, due to their personalities; motherly love, do you say in English? As let's talk says, Dai also has so many young fans, too, but they just can not afford tickets to every competitions Dai enters, air fares, hotels overseas and time.
For Taka and Yuzuru, I would say, they have more fans who are probably in their teens and twenties.

[Produced by Havoc]
[Hook x2]
As time goes by, an eye for an eye
We in this together son your beef is mines
So long as the sun shines to light up the sky
We in this together son your beef is mines
[Verse 1: Prodigy]
Let me start from the beginning, at the top of the list
Know wha'mean, Hav, situation like this
Another war story from a thirsty young hustler
Won't trust ya, I'd rather bust ya, and leave your corpse
For the cops to discover, while I be dipping in the Range Rover
All jewelled like Liberace
You watch me while Jakes trying to knock me and lock me
But I'll be on the low sipping Acosti Spumante
Niggas try to creep on the side of my Jeep
Stuck the heat through the window rocked they ass to sleep
Over a 3-pack, it was a small thing really, yeah
But keep letting them small things slide and be a failure
If I'm out of town one of my crew'll take care of ya
The world is ours and your team's inferior
You wanna bust caps I get all up in your area
Kidnap your children make the situation scarier
Life is a gamble, we scramble for money
I might crack a smile but ain't a damn thing funny
I'm caught up in the dirt where your hands get muddy
Plus the outcome turns out to be lovely
Got cheese in my pocket hit off my main squeeze
Push back the sunroof, let the cold air breeze
Through the butter soft leather upholestry
But mostly, keep the gat closely cause niggas wanna toast me
[Verse 2: Havoc]
A-yo I gotta get mines, no matter what the consequences
Count all my blessings, add up my weapons
Cock back the gat, let my nine serve purpose
Sling, do my thing, organized fiend service
Trying to make a mil is stress you know the deal
So we sling krills, get your cap peeled, cause everything is real
Cause I wanna chill, laid up in a jacuzzi
Sipping bubbly with my fingers on the Uzi
Try to infiltrate my fort get caught
Dead up in New York, my brain is packed with criminal thoughts
Get your life lost never found again my friend
Mission completed, watch you drop in less than ten
On my road to the riches, hitting snitches off with mad stitches
Your last resting place'll be a ditch kid
No one can stop me, try your style's sloppy
You want to be me, you're just an imitation copy
My theme is all about making the green
Living up in luxury, pushing phat whips and living comfortably
[Verse 3: Nas]
A drug dealer's dream:
Stash Cream, keys on a triple beam
Five hundred SL green, ninety-five nickle gleam
Condominium, thug dressed like the gentleman
Tailor made ostrich, Chanel for my women friend
Murdering, numbers on your head while I'm burglaring
Shank is serving 'em
What's up to all my niggas swerving in New York metropolis
The Bridge brings apocalypse
Shoot at the clouds feels like, the Holy Beast is watching us
Mad man my sanity is going like an hourglass
Gun inside my bad hand I sliced trying to bag grams
I got hoes that used to milk you, niggas who could've killed you
Is down with my ill crew of psychos
Nas Escobar moving on your weak production
Pumping corruption in the third world we just busting
[Verse 4: Raekwon]
Hold up and analyze the wildcats slang cracks
They swingin Ac's, the new routines, be my eyes black's
Playing corners glancing all up in your cornea
Corner ya, seen cats snatch monies up on ya
But late night, candlelight fiend with a crack pipe
It's only right, feeling higher than an airplane right
Word yo, I want to get this money then blow
Take my time, blast a nine, if you front you go
Sip beers, the German ones, hand my guns to sons
Shaolin, and Queensbridge we robbing niggas for fun
But still, write my will out to my seeds then build
Mahalia sing a tale but the real we still kill
[Hook x2]
Laid back, word out
Jus' bless 'em, with the bulletproof
Mobb Deep, Nas, Chef creation
For yo' nation, YEAH!
A grimy classic on Mobb Deep's sophomore album, The Infamous.
This was a rare track due to the features. It featured Nas and Raekwon. At that time in the early 90's Wu-Tang didn't feature on anyone's tracks and less so other artists on Wu-Tang's albums.
According to an interview with Prodigy, Raekwon's classic Verbal Intercourse also resulted from this hook-up.
"We actually made that beat and everything right there in the studio. We was in there for like four hours and knocked that whole song out… The song happened and that's when Rae did "Verbal Intercourse" with Nas. That was probably like a week after "Eye For A Eye" they did that".
In a 1995 interview with The Source conducted before the release of The Infamous, Prodigy revealed that this song was originally titled "Your Beef Is Mine."

It's not often you'll find fans shushing each other at a rock concert - especially when they have been drunk, rowdy and happy for most of the show.
But that's exactly what happened when Band of Horses began the delicate intro for The Funeral, with a chorus of "shhs" echoing across the sold out Powerstation crowd as fans jostled for position.
With it's emotional weight and lyrics like "Every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral", the standout hit from their 2006 debut Everything All the Time has - thanks to strategic TV and film placements - nearly become bigger than the band.
And it's still the epicentre of Band of Horses' live gigs, with its gloomy euphoria proving to be the climax of last night's Auckland show, a sideshow from their upcoming Big Day Out dates in Australia.
It's a shame then that after four albums - including last year's excellent Mirage Rock - there weren't a few more moments to match it at their third sold out New Zealand show in six years.
True, the beardy quintet's acoustic version of No One's Gonna Love You had couples canoodling and sent shivers down the spine - despite the fact that it's a song about a relationship break-up.
And the Seattle act came out of the starting box at a gallop, racing into loud and intensely raucous versions of Ode to LRC, NW Apt and Feud like they were trying to be the Foo Fighters' countrified cousins.
When theatrical front man Ben Bridwell signed off Is There a Ghost with an ecstatic and celebratory "Woo!", and threw his cymbals to the ground after the southern road trip rock of Laredo, it felt like this could be the best Band of Horses show ever.
But they couldn't keep the pace up, getting bogged down in a middle section that meandered all over the place, from slowburning footstompers Everything's Gonna Be Undone and The General Specific, to dreary ballads Infinite Arms and Slow Cruel Hands of Time, and the wedding band waltz of Older and Marry Song.
As the show's superior start proved, Band of Horses are much better when they're going full throttle, like recent single Knock Knock, which comes with the kind of epic guitar drone and singalong "woo hoos" that Kings of Leon would be proud of.
Don't place your bets just yet, but a few more of those and Band of Horses could become a sure thing.
What: Band of Horses
Where: Powerstation, Auckland
When: Wednesday, January 16

About the Author
James Low began studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhism in India in the 1960s and has received teachings from Kalu Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Kanjur Rinpoche, and Dudjom Rinpoche. Having met his root teacher, Chhimed Rigdzin Lama (also known as C. R. Lama), Low lived in his home in West Bengal, India, for many years, serving him as required and being taught many aspects of the tradition. During this period in India, Low participated in several retreats and pilgrimages in the Himalayas. In the 1970s and 1980s, on his return to Europe, he also received teachings and guidance from Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.
Low translated many tantric texts and sadhanas with C. R. Lama, who wanted texts from his lineages, Byangter and Khordong, to be available in English. These are used as practice texts by C. R. Lama's disciples and have been translated into various European languages. C. R. Lama asked James to teach in 1976 and later gave him the transmissions necessary to do this, together with full lineage authority. In particular, Low was encouraged to give the traditional instructions using methods that enable people in the West to get the point. Low has been teaching in this way for over thirty years.
Low regularly teaches the principles of Dzogchen in Europe, and he publishes translations and commentaries from time to time. Many of his seminars have been recorded, transcribed, and translated into European languages. Some of these are now accessible on his website above.

Dear all,
I am concerned, have been since the fall, that I am without a queen. At the end of the summer, I had noticed an inordinate number of drones, suspecting I had a hive that lost its queen, and therefore the workers were laying only drones.
So far my hive is not dead, I notice on decently nice days, upper 40's to low 50's that there are workers coming out for their cleaning flights.
Is it possible for my hive to thrive throughout the winter without a Queen? Or the fact that it is still alive, the colony, point to the possibility/likelihood that I still have a queen present?
Anyone knowledgeable enough to chime in I would appreciate a response.
thanks so much,

They are a really cute and nice family. Always beeing helpfull and respecting your privacy.
It was a very nice acquaintance.
Hi John. Thank you a lot for all.We could not say goodbye because we had to go early to the airport. Thanks to you and to your wife for the bicycles and for opening us the doors of your home.
King Regards. See you son.
Victor y Javier
They are a lovely family, but we found some discomfort: the distance from the center of the city; the door hasn't the key to close the room and to have the own privacy (I think it must be essential); the check-in is too late and the check-out is too early. Other this I can say that the room and all home is really clean, even if the room is a bit small.
It was a great experience. Lovely hosts who help you with any problems you have or might have. Nicely decorated bedroom. Just a few minutes walk to the tube station.
To sum it up, we had a great time in London and enjoyed our stay at Florences house and appreciate her hospitality!
I have reached my country now! Thank you for the stay! The room is clean and nice and the station is very near to the house! Very nice and good owner too! =)
This was the third time that we found a room via Wimdu and it was the worst! The place is a filthy mess, especially the kitchen.
The room itself is so small, we barely had space to put our one suitcase in there. If we had two, we would have had to take it into the bed with us, I suppose.
The wardrobe is full with their belongings. They even store their Christmas decoration in the room.
Also, it is not exactly a quiet place to stay at. You have to be considerate of their 7 month old baby, but they won't do the same for you. They keep blasting loud club music when they are at home, which gets really really annoying after a while. Especially when it goes on for hours.
All I can say is, I'd rather pay 5 pounds extra per day than go there again.

It's been three years since we were seduced by the sinister, sexy minimalism of London trio Romy Madley-Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith, who live in a time and space of their own.
Masters of restraint, they have perfected the art of constructing songs from simple chord progressions, adding delicate guitar and keyboard ostinatos, then wrapping them with sparse, percussion-based backing.
The songs they produce are little insights about little things - a glance, a gesture, a murmured word.
This album - just like their first - may need to be played a couple of times before it seduces you, but it is a beautiful seduction.

Serves 10
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 240 min.
Step 1
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, juniper berries, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Place venison in a shallow nonreactive dish just large enough to hold the roast. Pour cooled marinade over venison and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Step 4
Remove the venison from marinade and pat dry, reserving marinade. Rub venison with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the venison, turning with tongs, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer venison to a small metal roasting pan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 125°F for medium-rare, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, strain the reserved marinade into a medium saucepan. Add stock (or broth), cranberry juice, dried cranberries and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until gravy is reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Combine cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl; slowly whisk into the simmering gravy until slightly thickened. Season with salt, pepper and sugar. Keep warm.
Step 7
Remove strings from venison and carve into thin slices. Serve with the gravy.

Sandy Hook: New Details
Search warrants reveal that Adam Lanza, the man responsible for shooting 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Connecticut last December, had access to an arsenal of weapons in the home he shared with his mother.
When the 20 year-old went to Sandy Hook Elementary school on December 14th he was armed with a Bushmaster .223 caliber rifle, a Glock 10 millimeter handgun and a 9 millimeter Sig Sauer handgun.
154 spent .223 casings were recovered from the school.
Investigators estimate Lanza was in the school less than five minutes before he took his own life.
The documents, released Thursday, also detail items found at the shooter's home.
Investigators found books on Asperger's and autism along with the "NRA Guide to the Basics of Pistol Shooting."
Investigators also discovered a holiday card to Adam from his mother, Nancy Lanza, with a check made out for the purchase of a firearm. Adam killed his mother in their home before driving to Sandy Hook Elementary that day.
An interview conducted by the FBI revealed that Lanza was an avid gamer who rarely left his home.
Investigators have offered no insight into Adama Lanza's motivation for the shootings.
A comprehensive state police investigative report isn't expected to be completed until June.

Survivor recalls sinking of fishing boat off North Carolina coast
Happened off the Beaufort Inlet on Saturday
CARTERET COUNTY - A fishing trip came to an abrupt end over the weekend, when the crew's boat sank off the Beaufort Inlet. On Monday, one of the survivors shared his experience.
"I'm 42 years old and that's the most scared I've ever been in my life," said William Blandford, of Greenville, who was one of the two people on the boat when it sank. "I'm not afraid to admit that I even cried a little bit."
Blandford's 30-foot fishing boat began to sink just before 9 a.m. Saturday, at about 18 miles offshore, according to Tow Boat U.S. Captain Lee Sykes. Blandford believed there was a leak in the air condition line under his vessel.
Tow Boat U.S. and the Coast Guard responded, while Blandford and his fellow crew member were waist-deep in water.
"They proceeded to try to get the water out of the boat. But at that point, it was too far gone, Blandford said. "The boat went on its side, [so] we hitched out of the boat, got on the Coast Guard boat."
Blandford and his fellow crew member were not injured. But a Coast Guardsman fell into the water and got tangled in equipment, Sykes said. Crews were able to save him too.
On Monday afternoon, the boat was brought to Coral Bay Marina in Morehead City, where Blandford was waiting. He said he's just glad everyone made it back safely.
"[It's a] bad day when you know you lost everything. But I'm lucky to be here," said Blandford. "When you're out there by yourself, your boat's sinking, you don't really think you're going to make it back."
