Page 1 - Panel 1 The trial of Hal Jordan for the murder of Orion finally gets underway on the planet Oa, home of the Guardians of The Universe who are in turn the creators and leaders of the Green Lantern Corps. The floating blue dwarfs are seven of the Guardians; below them is Alpha Lantern Boodikka; in chains in the centre is Jordan himself; and the tentacled prosecutor is Malet Dasim. Off to the side are, presumably, the jury of Lanterns. Top row left to right are Veniz; Apros; G'Hu. Bottom row we have someone who might be Ion (Sodam Yat); Tomy-Fai; Torquemada; Rees-Van; and Skirl.
Page 1 - Panel 2 Dasim introduces Alpha Lantern Kraken who, as we know by now, hasn't been herself for some time.
Page 1 - Panel 4 Kraken refers to the gone again-there again scar that has (or has not) been shown on Jordan's forehead. I dare say it'll be put in when the series is collected.
Page 2 - Panel 2 Arriving in a flash of green are the two Honor Lanterns, Guy Gardner (with the wide, white belt) and Kyle Rayner. Both have served as regular Lanterns but were promoted some time ago.
Page 2 - Panels 4-5 Gardner accuses Kraken of hosting one of the Apokoliptian gods which she denies.
Page 3 - Panels 2-3 And which she then admits to seconds later as she attempts to attack the Central Power Battery as Gardner uses his ring to stop her.
Page 4 - Panels 3-4 Kraken uses her ring constructs to attack the Guardians, severely wounding one of them. The Guardians start the Krona Protocol to protect the Battery - this is named after a Maltusian (the Guardians' original race) who tried to pierce the origin of the universe and was banished for doing so. It's a convoluted but important piece of Green Lantern/DC Universe history as it was Krona's act that inadvertently created the original Multiverse.
Page 4 - Panel 5 Kraken mentions Metron giving "them" - humans, presumably - an "ultimate technology". This refers to Final Crisis #1 where Metron gave fire to Anthro.
Page 4 - Panel 6 Jordan escapes his bonds as Kraken's ring weakens.
Page 5 - Panel 3 As Jordan knocks out Kraken, the other Alpha Lanterns appear. From left to right they are Varix, Boodikka, Green Man and Chaselon.
Page 5 - Panel 4 As the Guardian injured by Kraken falls, the jury looks on. Left to right are someone that might be Cimfet Tau; Torquemada; Tomar Tu; and Turytt.
Page 5 - Panel 6 Salaak arrives and Jordan tells him that the New God Granny Goodness is inhabiting Kraken's mind.
Page 6 - Panel 1 Rayner says that spacetime has crumpled, "weeks smashed into days." That either explains away any continuity glitches Final Crisis and its tie-ins have suffered or the delay in the shipping times!
Page 6 - Panel 3 Alpha Lantern Green Man confirms the reports of Rayner and Gardner.
Page 6 - Panel 6 I'm not entirely certain why the Guardian states Jordan has 24 hours to save the universe; it probably refers to the Lanterns' ring's 24 hour charge. Once he gets to Earth, he may not be able to recharge.
Final Crisis #3. Off to one side there appears to be an autopsy of one of the Justifiers taking place.
Page 7 - Panel 4 The "kit super-soldiers" are clearly based on the original OMAC, another Kirby creation like the New Gods themselves.
Page 7 - Panel 5 Waller wants The Question to help with Checkmate's plan. This obviously takes place sometime after Final Crisis: Revelations where, at the time of writing, The Question is still facing off against Vandal Savage.
Page 8 - Panel 1 Cats on dogs - it really is the end of the world. This is the entrance to the Bludhaven stronghold of the Apokoliptian New Gods.
Page 8 - Panel 2 Transformed into the new Female Furies, this is Wonder Woman, Batwoman and (sitting down) Catwoman.
Page 8 - Panel 3 Left to right are Simyan, Reverend G. Godfrey Goode/Glorious Godfrey and Mokkari. As all of Darkseid's sycophantic followers do, they vie for the affection - or at least the attention - of their master.
Page 8 - Panel 4 They kneel before Darkseid who was once Dan Turpin.
Page 9 - Panel 2 Darkseid refers to a "rabid angel" and his "plague goddess" - this is likely to be Wonder Woman who, in Final Crisis #3 was infected with something by Mary Marvel.
Page 9 - Panel 3 The new Furies are joined by a somewhat cramped looking Giganta.
Page 10 - Panel 1 The Checkmate castle in Switzerland is still under siege as show in the previous issue. On the left is Tempest and, wings aflame, is Hawkgirl.
Page 10 - Panel 3 On the left the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, is captured by the Justifiers as, from the right, Donna Troy - already under the influence of Anti-Life - flies in with a Justifier helmet for him. There's a whirlwind in the background which we'll deal with in the very next panel!
Page 10 - Panel 4 The cavalry arrive in time to save him. Hawkman in the centre and clockwise from him are Cyclone (in the midst of the whirlwind); Stargirl (in the top right); Starman (below Cyclone); what looks to be Argent (below Hawkman); Bulleteer; Black Condor; and Blue Beetle. Bulleteer, by the way, was created by Grant Morrison as part of the Seven Soldiers story and, in interviews given since, he's stated that she cannot fly. She seems to be doing okay with the whole flight thing at the moment, though.
Page 11 - Panel 1 Following on from last issue, the Super Young Team have arrived at the castle with Mr. Miracle only to have him shot by an over-enthusiastic guard. In front of the car is Most Excellent Super Bat with the diminutive Shy Crazy Lolita Canary flying ahead of him. On the car itself is Mr, Miracle and left to right behind him are Shiny Happy Aquazon, Well-Spoken Sonic Lightning Flash, Big Atomic Lantern Boy and Sonny Sumo. In front of the car is Mr. Terrific.
Page 11 - Panels 2-3 Shy Crazy Lolita Canary seems to have a sonic canary cry similar to Black Canary.
Page 11 - Panel 6 Sonny Sumo holds a Motherboxxx, the latest version of the New Gods' living technology.
Page 12 - Panels 1-2 And Mr. Miracle pulls off another miraculous escape thanks to his impact-proof vest.
Page 12 - Panel 4 The "cosmic war" Miracle mentions has been waged off panel between the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips and which has resulted in Darkseid coming to Earth. New Genesis and Apokolips were part of the "Fourth World" created by Jack Kirby and has been washed away by the war - the Fifth is apparently coming to stay.
Page 13 - Panel 1 Mr. Terrific mentions an attack on Bludhaven which we will see in a moment. However, the sacrifice for that attack was to make the castle a target.
Page 13 - Panel 4 All of the Super Young Team have a Metron style circuit painted on their faces; Mr. Miracle recommends everyone else doing the same.
Pages 14-15 - Panel 1 Kalibak, in his new body, leads his tiger-clan out to meet the attack on Bludhaven.
Pages 16-17 The attack on Bludhave that Mr. Terrific referred to is underway. From left to right, those flying are Captain Marvel; STRIPE; Black Adam; Green Lantern John Stewart; Supergirl; and Iman. On the Humvee are Vixen, Blue Devil and Bronze Tiger; on the motorbike in front of them are Liberty Belle and Hourman; beside them is J.A.K.E. 2 of the Creature Commandos; Frankenstein front and centre on the bike; Wildcat and . . . er . . . Wildcat on the red bike; Mr. America and (possibly) Major Disaster on the car; and finally Red Arrow on the last bike.
Page 18 - Panels 1-2 Iman falls and says, translated from the Spanish, "What hit me? Ah, $&#*! My armor's useless. Weighs a ton... what would Superman do...?" Translation wholly stolen from Douglas Wolk's excellent Final Crisis Annotations Blog.
Page 18 - Panel 3 Frankenstein rides in quoting Milton's Paradise Lost.
Page 18 - Panel 5 Kalibak waits for "the lightning" - this is a reference to Mary Marvel, Darkseid's own Marvel-family slave.
Page 19 - Panels 1-5 Mary Marvel swoops down after Supergirl, unaware that Black Adam waits for her until he attacks, sending her to the ground.
Page 20 - Panel 1 As Captain Marvel flies in, Black Adam beats Mary who seems to enjoy it.
Page 20 - Panel 2 Adam says he saw "a leering old man" in Mary's eyes; it's likely that Mary is possessed in the same way Alpha Lantern Kraken was by another of the Apokoliptian New Gods, probably Desaad.
Page 21 - Panel 3 Mr. Tawky Tawny, an ally of the Marvel family, arrives using the jet pack he mentioned in Final Crisis #3. He says he has a Quantum Blunderbuss taken from Professor Sivana's son - this would presumably be Thaddeus Sivana Jr.
Page 21 - Panel 5 Kalibak arrives, preparing to attack Tawny.
Page 22 - Panel 1 Nix Uotan, the banished Monitor, is thrown into a cell where a wheelchair bound man and a hooded figure sit. The man in the wheelchair is likely the version of Metron seen in Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle.
Page 22 - Panel 2 The speech bubble should show that it's the hooded figure speaking and not the wheelchair guy but either way it explains why they are there - they're "the ones wired up different" that are immune or at least resistant to Anti-Life.
Page 22 - Panel 3 The hooded figure says that a Rubik's Cube cannot be solved in under 18 moves, calling it the Number of God.
Page 22 - Panel 5 The hooded figure hands Nix one of the pieces of paper that were thrown in with him which shows the same symbol Anthro was drawing on the rock at the end of Final Crisis #1. Note also the furred thumb of the hooded figure and his mention of Nix's kind - he seems aware of the Monitors or at least that Nix is something different.
Page 23 - Panel 4 The hooded figure unwraps one of the pages and finds a picture of Weeja Dell, the Monitor that Nix Uotan loved and who was last seen in Final Crisis #1. The furred hands are definitely not human and, I'm going to guess, belong to Detective Chimp.
Page 23 - Panel 5 Nix Uotan remembers the name of his love.
Page 24 - Panel 3 As Justifiers arrive to take Nix Uotan elsewhere, the wheelchair bound man solves the Rubik's Cube in 17 moves. The "Ping" obviously refers to a Motherbox.
Page 25 - Panel 1 Libra oversees the judgement on the Calculator who is being dragged up the steps to the hangman's noose. Behind Libra are Dr.s Sivana and, in the green and purple armour, Lex Luthor. The Calculator has been found guilty of betraying the Society when it seems likely that it was Luthor.
Page 25 - Panel 3 Libra's glance at Luthor seems to indicate he suspects Luthor of betraying the Society.
Page 26 - Panel 1 Supergirl and John Stewart attempt to break through the barrier around Command-D. Supergirl's "big cousin" is, of course, Superman who is absent due to Superman Beyond 3-D.
Page 26 - Panel 2 Another speech bubble mistake - it should be Glorious Godfrey speaking these words as Darkseid kills his servants for their failure in trying to merge Batman's mind with the clone army.
Page 26 - Panel 5 Darkseid rises, the last vestiges of Dan Turpin having been subsumed.
Page 27 - Panels 1-2 Supergirl flies above Bludhaven, detecting Darkseid's energy surge, unaware that behind her Mary Marvel approaches.
Page 27 - Panel 3 Witnessing Mary's attack are Hourman and Frankenstein. Behind Hourman is Citizen Steel.
Page 28 - Panels 1-3 As John Stewart realises the world is going to hell - or at least Darkseid - the Green Lantern Corps arrive in Earth orbit.
Page 28 - Panel 4 The Lanterns spin down into the singularity. In the centre is Hal Jordan; directly above him is Guy Gardner; clockwise from Gardner are Arisia; Kyle Rayner; Kilowog (in the top right); Isamot Kol; probably Vath Sarn; probably Soranik Natu; and Brik.
Page 29 - Panel 1 President Horne who appears to have escaped the Anti-Life Equation for the time being.
Page 29 - Panel 2 John Stewart's ring loses just about all of its power.
Pages 30-31 - Panels 1-6 Darkseid takes control of three billion humans, all of whom are under the control of the Anti-Life Equation.
Pages 30-31 - Panel 7 In the cell with Nix Uotan, the wheelchair bound man and the hooded figure, something else is happening.
Page 32 Nix Uotan is transformed into something else, bonding with the Rubik's Cube Motherbox and being able to view events that are happening around him . . . kinda like a Monitor.

Hey, I'm Em - one out of the millions that adored a happy, popular girl called becky who died from an overdose.
Rest in peace becky.
I first heard of Taylor in 2008 when my sister bought a copy of Fearless for herself. 9 year-old me had NO idea as to how much that country singer from america was going to affect my life.
I'm 15 years old - 16 next February EEEEE
I live in a really boring city called Adelaide, in Australia
Sadly, I have never gotten to meet Taylor, or even see her live #THESTRUGGLE
I love to draw, it's one of the things that take my mind away from my life
Some of my other favourite artists are Hozier (thanks to taylor and abigail) and bastille.
I would absolutely love to move to the UK when I'm an adult.
And the obvious: fan of miss taylor swift.
Taylor's music and taylor herself help me get by in life an unspeakable amount. Honestly I'm really happy that I idolize her.
Not only did she "follow her dreams" of getting into the music industry (and dominating it), she has stayed true to herself.
Taylor is without a doubt the most deserving artist of praise, like honestly she has invited over 400 fans into her HOMES.
Who else can say that about their favourite artist? She is incredibly humble, and treats us all like her friends.
She doesn't have this air about her of being superior to us, she is legitimately grateful and cares for our well-being.
WHAT OTHER CELEBRITY IS LIKE THIS????????? none. I'm so freaking proud of her. SO PROUD. I feel like her dad.
Taylor, on the off chance that you'll ever see this - holy heck you're the greatest. the best. go you. i love you.

Guess what I found out this week? A girl in my French class, Amy, she shares a birthday with Taylor!!!!!!! Arghh I'm so jealous!! But seriously, how lucky is she! Do any of you know people that share her birthday??
Thanks for following me, I followed back. (:
I had to delete my old account because it got hacked and I was afraid it might happen again. It wasn't really bad or serious hacking but I was a little worried. Looking back I wish I wouldn't have deleted it because it was a lot more popular than my new account, but oh well. (:

Number 13 Baby: Basementcast #13September 13, 2010 at 12:01 am | Posted in Basementcast, Music, Podcasts | 7 Comments
photo from JamieSanford's Photostream.
As luck would have it, here is basementcast number 13 on the 13th day of September. Not a dreaded Friday the 13th but a Monday the 13th which, it seems to me, is a lot worse than a Friday the 13th. After all, you have two days to make things right after a Friday of bad luck. On a Monday the 13th you need all the help you can get. That's where the basementcast comes in. Think of it as your lucky rabbit's foot. Put it on your mp3 player and it will help you avoid black cats, hats on the bed, walking under ladders and a multitude of other crazy stuff that could happen to you on this day. Plus you will have saved a rabbit from having to hop around with only three legs.

The coaster enthusiast in you will delight in the latest edition of the basementcast. It is built of wood, rickety, jarring and a guaranteed thrill ride that feels like it's just about ready to fall apart. No need to go to your nearest amusement park, pay $50 for admission, $10 for a hot dog and wait in line for every ride. Just hit play and experience the heartburn of the hot dog and the stomach churning of the roller coaster. It won't cost you a thing, only your valuable time.

I tell ya. Let the sun come out in Seattle this time of year and people go nuts. The clouds cracked open this afternoon and people came out of the woodwork, stripping off clothes and soaking up the sunshine like they might never see it again. And they might not, at least not until July. While the rest of the northern hemisphere is springing into summer we in the PNW are left waiting. Something just as unpredictable as the exact start date of summer around here, is when the next basementcast will appear. Well, here is my attempt to taunt mother nature. A new basementcast, and none to soon. Filled with songs to conjure the next season along, a grill, a cooler, some flip-flops and even a sun hat. I even threw in a sun lamp just in case.

Spring, the time for allergies and procreating. The clocks have been changed and the days are getting longer, at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere, and everything is in bloom. For those of us with inferior genes, that means sneezing, itchy eyes and runny nose. The only thing to do is hermetically seal yourself somewhere and wait for it to pass. While you're in your bubble, have a listen to the new basement cast why don't you?

Although he's from Georgia, Abner Jay's I'm So Depressed rings true in the PNW in the middle of winter. Rain is the rule, dark is the law and everyone is just trying to get along, trying to make it to the spring, or some sunny local somewhere south. The holiday gift giving, blog list-making, eggnog induced halcyon haze of December has long since passed and were just tying to get our vitamin D deprived bodies to some more daylight and ultraviolet bliss.
Well, face up man, it's the middle of January and things ain't gettin' better for a long while. So, what do you do? It's quite simple. You inject yourself with a vial full of basementcast, a big bottle of something and you hibernate until spring.

People are nuts. Why would you ever want to grow a 1,725 pound pumpkin? I suppose so that you could say that you did. Apparently pumpkin growing is like horse breeding, you gotta get the right seed from a sire that has the right genes. The seed for this big beauty came from a former world record holder. The funny thing about this picture, besides the obvious, is that it came from northeast Ohio, about 30 miles from where I grew up. In case you ever wondered what it was like growing up in sl-Ohio, I can tell you it was just slightly more exciting than this picture. Depending on your point of view (world record pumpkin growers excepted), something a little more exiting is the new basementcast. It weighs a whole lot less, you can fit in your pocket, and you won't need five guys to help you with it.

Buck up everyone summer is over and it's time to get back to work. We here at the Finest Kiss loath work, but we do what we've gotta do to get by. If you need a little something to get by this may be just the thing. To quote Mick Jones, It's multipurpose in a jar, If you ain`t ill it`ll fix your car. So carry it around with you, put it in your car, stuff it away into cupboards because you never know when you might need it.

In the summertime, everything seems to slow down. No one returns your calls or emails at work because they're all on vacation. In the music world, releases slow down from their rapid spring rate. Although this year it seems like there hasn't been much of slow down in stuff coming out this summer, so there is no dearth of new stuff in this edition. Without further ado, and since this isn't France (I don't have enough vacation time to take the whole summer off), here is the summer edition of the basementcast. The track list and links to all the bands below.

Something For the Weekend: Vacation BasementcastJuly 1, 2009 at 11:03 pm | Posted in Basementcast, Music, Podcasts | Leave a comment
Yes, summer has finally arrived and my vacation was filled with swimming, baseball games, and fishing. We split our time between sl-Ohio and Washington, DC. It was a bunch of fun, especially our trip to Linesville, Pennsylvania to feed the carp. Throwing bread to a bunch of overgrown fish is probably not a lot of people's idea of fun, but I don't hang out with those kind of people.
I'm hesitant to call this the summer edition of the basementcast, that'll be next month. This is more like the summer vacation edition. Take it with you, whether it's to the beach, the back yard or over to the neighbor's house, just don't take it to work!

Spring Fever Edition of the BasementcastMay 21, 2009 at 10:21 pm | Posted in Basementcast, Music, Podcasts | 6 Comments
When we first moved into our house, one of our neighbors offered us some chickens. She assured us that they were little trouble and that once you have a farm fresh egg you'll never go back to the store bought ones. I balked at having chickens in the backyard, and still buy eggs from the grocery store or the farmer's market. There are times that I wish we would have taken the offer, usually it's at breakfast time. What does this have to do with the fourth installment of the basementcast you may wonder? Absolutely nothing, but there are backyard references made a few times in this one and a cameo appearance from my daughter Elsa who also talks about the backyard, sans chickens of course. It's the spring fever edition of the basementcast.

With the press overhyping 3D printing, virtual reality, and Bitcoin, it's hard for CIOs to track the startup trends impacting business today. Below are two trends we see startups and their investors focused on, and a future trend we expect to gain interest in the next 12 to 24 months that CIOs should care about.
Self-service business models disrupting industries. Startups are coming up with creative ways to reengineer cumbersome analog business processes with technology. Uber uses cloud, mobile, and analytics to recreate and bypass parts of the taxi/private car value chain. It connects customers directly to drivers, and uses data and analytics to make more efficient use of vehicle capacity. Other examples of startups developing new approaches to old industry processes include Oscar in health insurance and Simple in retail banking. What's next? As 3D printers and connected products become more mainstream, and digital is further embedded in the physical world, we'll see entrepreneurs apply self-service to new markets. Sols hopes to shake up orthotics by allowing customers to customize and print custom-insoles on 3D printers.

A local historian will give a lecture and slide presentation, "An Armchair Tour of Historic Buildings", at the Silver City Museum Annex on Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 12 noon. The presentation is part of the Museum's ongoing series of free Brown Bag lunchtime presentations. The Museum Annex is located at 302 West Broadway, on the northwest corner of Broadway and Arizona, in the former PNM building.
Come and learn about one of Silver City's early citizens. Mrs. Warren came to Silver City in 1882 and became a widow at thirty-one years of age in 1885. She successfully continued her husband's insurance and real estate agency, unusual for a woman in that era. The presentation will cover Gospel Hill, and part of downtown by viewing PowerPoint slides of historical buildings, some of which are connected to Mrs. Warren through her construction business or personal use.

Street surveillance is taking an alarming turn for the interactive in England. As part of a government plan to target "antisocial" behavior and petty crime, closed-circuit television cameras will be installed around the country with the capacity to talk back to people engaging in unseemly acts in public places.
The scheme lets local council workers in a control centre monitor pictures from the cameras and talk to them if they feel they are doing something wrong.
The cameras were piloted in Middlesbrough, north-east England, where they have been used to reprimand vandals and litter bugs, but now loudspeakers are being fitted to cameras in another 20 areas.
Britain has some 4.2 million CCTV cameras and the government's privacy watchdog, Information Commissioner Richard Thomas, warned last year that the nation risks "sleep-walking into a surveillance society".
A CCTV surveillance camera takes in the scene in Nottingham, England.

Comments about Osprey PORTER 30:
This pack carries an incredible amount of gear for a 30 liter pack. The single deep main compartment maximizes the use of space. It makes it possible for me to pack more than I can in packs of similar and sometimes larger size that are divided into two or more large compartments. The compression straps work great for cinching the pack down. The are also some thin pockets and sections that are great for holding laptops, tablets, papers, pens, keys and other gear. I can easily stow this pack under the seat in front of me on any plane and even on some commuter planes such as the CRJ700. It fits in the overhead compartment of most any plane. I am a fairly light packer and have used the Porter 30 as my only bag on trips as long as 12 days. I am sure I could go longer. The waist belt and compression straps work well even with moderately heavy waits. I highly recommend this pack.

Comments about Osprey PORTER 30:
I own 6 Osprey bags. The PORTER 30 is my "go to" bag for the 2 night business trip. It packs great with packing cubes, has plenty of room and the tech packing area is perfect. Once it is packed and cinched down, it becomes incredibly small. I can avoid the baggage claim area as this bag fits into the tightest overheads and always under the seat with no problem.
2 nights on the road? ANSWER: Osprey Porter 30. If I am going longer, it grab the PORTER 46.

This pack has a good amount of open space as well as organization pockets. I use this pack for range shooting as it can easily hold ammo, ear and eye protection, spotting scope, etc. all within easy access in the main compartment. Targets and other accessories for your optics/gadgets can be neatly organized in the front pockets. Straps stow easily when not in use.

|st: Using weights for the selection equation with heckprob
|Fri, 29 Apr 2005 05:22:58 -0700
Dear all, I have panel data on two years with attrition. The original survey was quasi random and I have weights to make it representative of the survey area. I'm interested in outcome from the second period (a dummy variable) and I want to correct for attrition using weights for the attrition equation. Is there a way to do that with stata? The heckprob command allows for weights but the weights seem to apply to the second stage equation, not to the selection equation. Any thoughts highly appreciated! Have a nice day, Marie Marie Godquin TEAM-Development Center email@example.com * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

About Louisiana
Pocketed between the Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi and Texas, Louisiana is a dynamic southern state with a mash of cultures. Southern Louisiana is the main attraction for vacationers and culture vultures. Strong French, Latino, and Caribbean influences can be seen throughout Louisiana, especially in Acadiana and New Orleans. While at one time there were two distinct forms of cooking, Cajun and Creole, the two have been merged into a tantalizing mixture that no foodie can resist. Dishes like spicy jambalaya, grilled catfish and dirty rice are staples in the unique restaurants of this lively state.
Some of Louisiana's must-see attractions and activities include:
- New Orleans: The city's unofficial motto is "laissez les bons temps rouler," or "let the good times roll," and it sums up this vibrant city quite well. One walk through the affluent French Quarter, where sweet jazz melodies abound, and you will be hooked on this sultry city. It's an ideal base for romantic getaways in Louisiana. The New Orleans area is also home to two Louisiana National Parks and a multitude of Louisiana aquariums, if you're looking for outdoor or family-oriented activities.
- Avery Island: This famous island is actually a dome of salt. Avery Island is home to the McIlhenny Tabasco Sauce factory and an enormous nature preserve that showcases the flora and fauna native to Louisiana's bayou country.
- Sicily Island Hills: Home to the state's tallest waterfall, the Sicily Island Hills are located in the northern part of Louisiana. This tranquil paradise is an ideal venue for mountain biking, hiking and bird watching, and the surrounding area is home to some of the most unique Louisiana campgrounds.
- Natchitoches: Another great destination for romantic getaways in Louisiana, this historic mid-state city has its own French Quarter and some of the state's most striking architecture, offering a quieter but equally unique alternative to New Orleans.
- Plantation country: The stretch of Great River Road spanning New Orleans and Baton Rouge is colloquially known as "plantation country," and offers a look into the state's colorful and storied past.
The Mardi Gras festival, held every March in New Orleans, is the ideal time to visit if you've never been to Louisiana before.
For your accommodations, consider a vacation rental such as a condo if you're in the city or a cabin rental if you want closer to the bayou. These choices make more convenient, spacious and private alternatives to getting a hotel room and are ideal for families, groups and couples alike.
Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi to the north, west and east respectively, and all three states offer their own unique slice of southern life to visitors. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico beckon beyond the state's southern shores, so you can enjoy a relaxing cruise or head down to the Caribbean quickly and easily.

Greek meaning of Asthma (ásthma) is gasp;
it is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways
of the lungs (the bronchi) that causes them to become inflamed and
swollen. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and
shortness of breath.
The bronchi are small tubes
that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the
bronchi are more sensitive than normal and certain substances or
triggers can irritate them.
Common triggers
include house dust mites, animal fur, pollen, tobacco smoke, cold
air and chest infections.
When the bronchi are irritated,
they become narrow and the muscles around them tighten, which can
increase the production of sticky mucus, or phlegm. This makes it
difficult to breathe and causes wheezing and coughing, and it may
make your chest feel tight.
The severity of the symptoms
of asthma differs from person to person, from mild to severe. The
narrowing of the airways is usually reversible – occurring
naturally, or through the use of medicines. However, for some people
with chronic (long-lasting) asthma, the inflammation may lead to
an irreversible obstruction of the airways.
A severe onset of symptoms
is known as an asthma attack, or 'acute asthma exacerbation'. Asthma
attacks can be life-threatening and may require hospital treatment.
site is intended to help you understand more about asthma and how
it can affect your health. The information here is drawn from a
variety of recognised and renowned medical sources. The information
contained on this site is not intended to be a substitute for professional
medical advice. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified
health provider prior to starting any new treatment or with any
questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Intimately Fictional
Whoever came up with the old adage Write what you know must have forgotten about the historical novel. Yet there are also novels that, although theyre based in a time period outside the authors lifetime, nevertheless benefit from his or her unique experience. One of these is Shanghai Girls by Lisa See, a Paris-born author whose Chinese-American family moved to Los Angeles, specifically Chinatown, when she was a young girl. The experience must have stayed with her, because the centerpiece of Sees new novel is a move that two sisters are forced to make from their native Shanghai to L.A. in 1937. Pearl and May Chins father, who has squandered his fortune and subsequently accepted marriage proposals from two American men, ships them off to the States.
See has already written eloquently (New York Times Best-Selling eloquently) about modern Chinese women in her Red Princess mystery series (Flower Net, The Interior, and Dragon Bones) and Chinese women from the 17th and 19th centuries (Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love), but these two characters, especially the bookish elder sister, Pearl, are perhaps the ones closest to the authors heart.

Was hip hop's T.I. really enjoying 'Durban Poison' on the beachfront?! Judge for yourself
DJ Tira has posted a video on Instagram' which appears to show US rapper T.I. smoking a joint on Durban's beachfront.
Amused comments are being posted by his followers who've spotted the clip' as they remark on the merits of the "African herb" and indulging in public.
T.I. is scheduled to perform at Durban's botanical gardens on Friday night.
The multiple Grammy Awards winner is credited with sales of more than 30 million singles' and 14 million albums. His collaborations include Jay Z' Rihanna' Justin Timberlake' Kanye West and Lady Gaga.
On his official Twitter account T.I. @Tip tweeted a photo from Durban this morning' saying: "South African Sunrise. Indian Ocean Breakfast of Champions #TheBoysDoneMadeittoSouthAfrica #HustleGangOverErrrrthang".
Luckily' his mood differed dramatically from a namesake account - T.I @TI_Wisdom whose posts on Twitter since Wednesday' until today' are somewhat anguished' dropping hints about being let down by a special someone. The tweets include:

text: I just recenetly purchased a new Ipod Nano. It comes with a set of default ipod earphones. One day, while rushing to work, I had my Ipod drop out of my jacket as I ran for the bus. I was listening to music during that time, so basically the ipod disconnected itself from the earphones and dropped to the ground (about 2-3ft) while the earphones were still in my ears. The ipod was contained in a small cellphone bag. I quickly picked it back up, reconnected the earphones, and continued to the bus. As I was listening to the music, I realize that the left earphone is playing a louder sound than my right earphone. When I turned up the volume, I realized that the left earphone was playing stero, but my right earphones are acutally playing in mono. Did the drop cause this ipod malfuction? or could it be that the earphones got ruined because it was ripped off from the ipod during the drop? *note* I have also done a music volume fix (???) in the itune the night before, could that have caused this problem? I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks.


text: Yesterday and today I started my 07 2500HD/ diesel and the heater blower did not turn on. I'm sure it always worked in the past. I tried it with the key and the heater fan ran. I sat in the truck and tried the autostart again and it sounded like the fan started then stopped. Any ideas? At the same time after I lent the truck to my neighbour to tow their horse trailer out of the field the service trailer brakes came on. When it stops snowing/ raining I will check the fuses. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

So, there's a new kid in town & he looks just like me, only way smaller. Another stray has appeared on our doorstep & this one is my twin.
You gotta see the picture Papa took of us. His name is Jake & he doesnt have a page yet, so Mommy added our picture to my page.
He even has the small white patch on his back, same as me.
Wanted to let everybody know about Jake. I'll write more later as this story continues.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment is situated in walking distance (ca 8min) to the Vatican,
It's spacious with 2 big bedrooms and one very small one with a kind of sofa bed-
Towels are there, bedsheets were fresh- a bottle of red wine and croissants for the morning welcomed us- the person called Mrs Anna was very helpful and welcomed us with cheer...
The elevator takes you the last floor and the flat is bright-
The only thing to recommend to the house keeper is a better cleaning- we did a lot while we were there, as buying washing liquid and sponges- cleaning the coffe mashine and i tried to remove the lime in the water boiler..
But besides that it's perfect
Thank you for making our stay so nice
It is a nice little apartment with good central location .
The communication with the owner Sabrina worked fine.
Nice apartment and nice host. Very patient even though we where almost an hour delayed for our arrival.
close to all the central attractions.
Sabrina was af great host. She gave us some details about rome and was Nice and sweet
We had a very nice stay in Rome. The apartment is located near the vatican. So it was a good starting point for all our activities.
Sabrina helped us to find a taxi from and to the airport which made it very easy to find the apartment. And she answered all our questions which we had before travelling there as far as it was the first time for us to book with Wimdu.
I can really recommend her as a host.
Very nice expirience. Very nice apartment in a perfect place. Sabrina was the perfect host.
I strongly recomend it.
We were very well received by Sabrina, despite the very late hour of our arrival! The apartment is very good and very nice. We highly recommend this offer, grazie Sabrina!
Nous avons été très bien reçus par Sabrina, malgré l'heure très tardive de notre arrivée ! L'appartement est très bien placé et très agréable. Nous recommandons vivement cette offre, grazie Sabrina !
We had a great stay in Rome, in a VERY NICE appartment. It was clean, had a lot of space (for the 2 of us) and had a very high standard - this is really a "Colosseum luxury appartment".
A great place to stay. Sabrina was also very helpful. Thank you
Sabrina is very friendly and detlista. The apartment is modest (very small kitchen, no living room), but clean, immaculate and very close to the Vatican beds.
Sabrina es muy amable y detlista. El apartamento es modesto (cocina muy pequeña, no tiene salón), pero está limpio, las camas impecables y muy cercano al Vaticano.

Sir William Henry Clinton was born in 1769 in Lyons, France.
The eldest son of General Sir Henry Clinton, Sir William Henry Clinton and his younger brother were able to start building a career on their father's good reputation. Soon they built their own reputations and Sir William was sent on a number of secret missions abroad. However, despite his well regard Sir William was passed over for a peerage and also missed out on several positions such as the governorship of Gibraltar. Things turned around in 1823 when he moved to Cokenach at Barkway, near Royston, Hertfordshire, and saw himself as a gentleman farmer.
Sir William was appointed Lieutenant General of the Ordnance in 1825 which enabled him to afford improvements to his new home. Whilst in the role of Lieutenant General of the Ordnance Sir William was given command of 600 men who were sent to Portugal. He returned from Portugal in 1829 and stepped down from his role with the Ordnance. Not long after this, the position was abolished. Possibly as compensation, he was offered the governorship of Madras, which he had to refuse due to ill-health.
In 1842, at the age of 73, he became Lieutenant-General of Chelsea Hospital in London. Sir William died four years later at his home, Cokenach.

Header gasket/collector gaskets
Does anyone have a favorite header or collector gasket that actually lasts?
I had the Mr. Gasket high dollar "Ultra seal" header gaskets on this time, left side lasted 16 months. Went back to the basic white Mr. Gasket since spending 22 bucks on the first ones was pretty much a waste.
I also tried the super fancy whizz bang soft aluminum collector gaskets on my truck and my sons truck. Those things popped and clicked and moved all over the place in the heat cycles. Went back to the Mr. Gasket basic white gaskets today since I already had all my tools out.
Not much you can do with the collectors. Looks like the flanges are bent. You will never get a seal to stay in there. Keep the aluminum ones or cut off the collector and change flanges.
Stock printed metal ones last the longest for me. Good bolts help too. So do good threads. Put the metal to the header side. the last set I used is going on three years. I even use them and gasket match the port's to fit my race engines.
Header gasket/collector gaskets
I cant say much about collector gaskets as my headers/exhaust are welded together,but I have had the cheapie Mr Gasket ones on for a couple of years now,even had them off and reused them last time I had the motor out.I do pay close attention to keeping the exhaust bolts snugged up,I usually do this once or twice a month,this seems to help quite a bit.If your headers get a little loose this can cause gasket problems.
I like the copper ones, thats all I use now. I had a 390 Ford yrs ago (I don't remember the header brand name) It seemed no way would I get 10 to 14mons on a set of header gaskets. I had one leaking and when no one in town had any header gaskets someone offered me a stock exhaust manifold gaskets, being desperate I put a set of stock exhaust manifold gaskets on, and never had another leak. I haven't tried stock exhaust manifold gaskets since. but it was a easy swap, there was no a/c no extras in the way it was a 69 Ford p/u.
On header flanges we always use Fel Pro, never an issue unless the flange is warped or the bolts are not tight. On the collector fireplace caulk is pretty bulletproof.
Take a look at Earl's. I had a problem with my GT40 heads and the interface with Sanderson headers and had tried several other brands for fit up. I also had to use Breslin header bolts, again because of the headers. Even ARP studs wouldn't fit. Reasonably priced tho not cheap
Below is the Earl's description - you just replace the insert rather than the entire gasket assembly.
"Pressure Master Header Seal, for Ford 289302351W (Except Boss), Pair Designed and manufactured for Earl's by ParkerHannifin Corporation, these seals are the first High Performance Seals developed to solve automotive sealing problems using Aerospace Technology.
Pressure Master Header Seal, for Ford 289302351W (Except Boss),
Installation Notes
The graphite foil sealing inserts can be replaced in the aluminum retainer, making it an economical solution to tough sealing problems. Replace the seals on a smooth flat surface using even pressure for best results.
Uses Aerospace Technology
Graphite Foil Sealing Inserts
Virtually Leakproof
Seals Up To 1200% Better
Superior Torque Retention
Longer Lasting Pre-Load
90% Break Loose Torque"
I have used them with great success.
Just like johnsongrass1, I use the stock metal backed ones that you get in gasket sets. I have found over the years, that its more the bolts you use and how you tighten them more than what gaskets you use. When installing new gaskets, check for tightness the 1st few times you heat the engine.
On the wife's Small Block Vette, we had header gasket failure about every 3 to 6 months. Diffent gaskets, same problem. Finally, I threw two solutions at the problem at one time. Soft Copper Gaskets (Mr. Gasket, I think) and Stage 8 bolts. Whether it's the bolts not trying to come loose, or the gasket being indestructible, I don't know. I only know the combination works. The headers aren't fancy, just a pair off-brand shortys, but they don't leak anymore.

Nuggetpalooza: Five of last Six!
|04.22.11 at 9:36 am ET
Nuggets and notes from last night, from Wednesday, and from around baseball:
* – Red Sox starters last six games: 1.37 ERA. First 12 games: 6.71.
* – It wasn't easy, but the Red Sox won for the 29th straight time when they allow six or fewer baserunners. Their last such loss came May 28, 2008. It was the first time that the Red Sox have allowed six or fewer baserunners in an EXTRA INNING game since 1998 (first on the road since 1992).
* – Adrian Gonzalez' game-winning RBI double in the 11th inning Thursday night came on a cut fastball, just the 12th cutter he's seen this season. Six of those cutters have ended plate appearances and A-Gon is now 3-for-6. Each of the last two cutters thrown to him have been turned around for doubles, last night's off Thompson, and Monday against Octavio Dotel.
* – The game tying homer that Beckett allowed to Torii Hunter in the 8th came off a two-seam fastball, which had been a decent pitch for him all night as he had thrown 19 of them prior to the home run (average "points per pitch" of +0.63) and the Angels were 0-for-2. Looking at all of Beckett's pitches last night:
Four-seam fastball – 51 thrown; 2-for-13, 5K; Avg Pts: +1.08 (Third straight start at +1.00 avg pts or above)
Two-seam fastball – 24 thrown; 1-for-4, HR; Avg Pts: -0.04
Curveball – 19 thrown; 0-for-4, 1K; Avg Pts: +0.15 (Last eight curves all were balls)
Cutter – 19 thrown; 0-for-4; Avg Pts: +0.89 (Five swinging strikes)
Changeup – 9 thrown; 0-for-1; Avg Pts: -.44 (Six balls on nine pitches)
Beckett now leads the AL in average points per four-seam fastball for the season (min. 100 four-seamers):
+1.01 – Josh Beckett, BOS
+0.94 – Joaquin Benoit, DET
+0.88 – Jason Frasor, TOR
If you have missed my earlier posts, "average points per pitch" is based on a rather elementary scoring system that I use to "grade" the results of each pitch, ranging from +6 for a strike three to -15 for a home run.
* – Boston won on the road Wednesday for the first time since September 27, snapping a 10 game road losing streak. The club record road losing streak is 11 games, set in 1952. Before this most recent winless streak, the Red Sox had one other 10 gamer since 1961 and it came during the 2001 season.
* – Since having three consecutive three-hit games against the Yankees, Dustin Pedroia had gone just 5-for-27 (.185), before collecting three hits (and two walks) Thursday night.
* – The Angels' Jered Weaver and Dan Haren each have allowed three earned runs or fewer in their last 12 consecutive starts. the only longer such streak by an Angels' pitcher in the last 20 years is 14, by John Lackey (2007-2008). Haren has allowed TWO earned runs or fewer in each of his last seven starts.
* – On Wednesday, Daniel Bard (6th inning) and Jonathan Papelbon (8th inning) each inherited a bases loaded situation. It was just the second and third times this season that a Red Sox reliever had come in with the bases loaded (Dan Wheeler allowed all three to score on April 6). On Wednesday, though, both pitchers shut the door. It was the first time that the Red Sox have had two pitchers inherit three baserunners and allow none to score in one game since September 23, 2008, when Hideki Okajima and Papelbon did the trick in a 5-4 win over Cleveland. It also happened in 2006 (Javier Lopez, Craig Hansen).
* – After starting the season by retiring 12 of the first 14 batters he faced (no hits, two walks), Bobby Jenks then allowed 9 of the next 13 batters faced to reach base including all seven batted balls going for singles (three line drives, four ground balls). Then Thursday, he retired all three batters he faced in the 10th inning (all on balls in play).
* – Jenks has not allowed an extra base hit in eight appearances as a member of the Red Sox. The club record for the longest streak of appearances to start a Red Sox career without allowing an EBH is 11, held by Bob Veale ('72-'73) and Larry Andersen ('90).
* – When Clay Buchholz allowed a home run leading off the first inning on Wednesday, it broke a streak of six straight games without a Red Sox starter allowing a home run. Since the start of the 2007 season, there have only been six longer streaks:
10 – September, 2008
10 – August, 2007
8 – September, 2009
7 – September, 2010
7 – June, 2009
7 – September, 2008
* – Buchholz has allowed six home runs in his first four starts of 2011. That's the same number that he allowed in his last 19 starts in 2010.
* – Sox starters have recorded four or more strikeouts just seven times in the season's first 18 games (39 percent). That's a pace for just 63 such games for the season. They've had at least 90 such games every season since 2000 (when they had 80). Last year, Sox starters set a club record by fanning four or more in 120 of their 162 games.
* – In their last five games at Anaheim (including Thursday), the Red Sox have collected 55 hits and struck out 56 times.
* – Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel allowed an ER in his third career appearance last May 15. Since then, he's made 24 appearances without allowing any.
* – This just looks weird: Here are the four longest streaks of Yankees games started without allowing multiple HR:
52 – Chien-Ming Wang ('07-'09)
50 – Don Larsen ('56-'59)
41 – Chien-Ming Wang ('05-'07)
40 – Whitey Ford ('60-'61)
* – On Thursday night, Dustin Pedroia nearly became the first Red Sox player to reach base five times in a game and score zero runs since Jason Bay in July, 2009. And really, if you saw the rundown play in the 11th, he should have been out. It would have been the second time that an Angels' opponent had done it already this season.

The best sushi in Orange County? Some Chowhounds think that's Ohshima Japanese Cuisine in Orange. Tucked into a typical suburban strip mall, Ohshima's sushi is anything but typical. "If there was any place I'd happily relinquish control to the chef, it's here," BrewNChow says. Chef Shige Kimura (pictured) orchestrates the omakase-only bar with a wide variety of fish, all perfectly seasoned and deftly prepared.
"Their buri was unforgettable, their toro was face melting, [and] all the shellfish we ordered were the best I'd ever had," says BrewNChow. With just 12 seats at the bar, there's usually a crowd waiting inside the door. Fans say the great sushi and reasonable prices are worth the wait.

Anael - WOW! very nice...also I see how far behind I am! ;-)
Gus...your B-9 color layout is fascinating. Way to go!
Ann Clair - very pretty and nice job on the quilting.
Quilt'n Nan - Ooooo...a new house and a new sewing room. I can understand your excitement! We moved into a new house last June. Have had a man working on finishing the bonus room upstairs for my very first sewing room ( have been sewing on the kitchen table for 40 years so i am very excited about getting a room just for sewing where I can leave my projects out. The room is ALMOST ready for us to begin building a cutting table and a sewing table...in fact, I got to move some folding tables and my sewing machine up here yesterday and I am now trying to decide on what I need for storage and so on....This will be a great change from digging all kinds of plastic bins out to try to find what I am trying to find. I am also excited to be able to make a design wall to put my DJ pieces on. It will all take time....but I have a start! Let us see pictures of your new sewing studio when you get it set up!
Spartan Quilter. I really like your variation on how you are quilting the blocks differently. Especially like your B-7

quiet exhaust
ok so my truck was in an accident recently with a good amount of damage, insurance is going to fix it though but the best moment ive had with my truck in the last year was cutting that twisted ****ing straight pipe exhaust off after the down pipe with a sawzall, I dont want a cat on it but a muffler is deffinately going on it. I was thinking silver line but does anyone have a sound clip or an opinion? I know banks is probably the quietest but im not dropping $700 for an exhaust

I'm currently going through a divorce that will be final in 3 months. I have two amazing little girls who are 6 and 7 years old. If you asked me a few years ago if this is where my life would take me, I wouldn't believe it. But, I'm starting to think that everything happens for a reason. And even though I don't know the reason right now, in time I'll find out and understand why.
I'm honest, loyal, devoted, caring, nurturing and put others before myself. When I was younger, I traveled to Guatemala, Spain, France and England. It was amazing and I'll never forget those incredible experiences and how beautiful and unique each country was. I love traveling and have wanted nothing more than to get on a plane or a boat and see what hidden places exist! I would love to see the Swiss Alps, Bora Bora, Italy, Norway...just to name a few...haha :)
I'm a hopeless romantic. I want a guy that will open doors and pull out chairs and be a true gentleman. I know there are still some of them left out there...somewhere :) Romance, passion, intimacy and sex are very important to me and my relationship. I'm a very sexual person and don't want the same old boring thing over and over again. I like to please my man and keep it interesting ;)
I love sitting outside on a warm summer evening and staring up at the night sky, watching shooting stars. I love photography! My girls and I will go to the State Hospital and walk around the old buildings taking pictures. My girls and I also love walking through the woods "exploring".
I rowed all through high school and received a rowing scholarship to college. Rowing was truly my passion in life! Then a few years ago, I found who I was born to be...haha...a roller derby girl! I played roller derby for years before I moved up to MI. I loved every minute of it and every broken bone!

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

I participated in GestaltIT's TechFieldDay which is a sort of inverse conference, where the bloggers and independent analysts go to the vendors and then discuss the information they have received. We visited the following virtualization vendors:
- vKernel where we were introduced to their Predictive Capacity Planning tools
- EMC where we discussed integration of storage into the virtualization management tools as well as other hypervisor integrations
- Cisco where CVN and CVE were discussed in detail.
At the reception at Fenway Park we also had a chance to further our discussion with all these vendors as well as Akorri with their BalancePoint software.Of these vendors what I found interesting is that all have noticed that Hyper-V is now of interest to their customer base so all either have products ready for Hyper-V or are working on products for Hyper-V. Akorri and vKernel have Hyper-V ready products. Cisco and EMC are working with Hyper-V at some level I suspect.

Socks are socks in my opinion. These socks have nice cushion and I like the reinforced pull tab on the back. It's nice to have different colors as well5
