Is it for any specific purpose? How about a CZ75?
Well I have the infamous itch to buy a new handgun, But nothing is wowing me now. So any guns you folks think I should look into? I have been considering a px4 storm for a while now though. Especially with the availability and price of 40 cal.
P.S I own a Beretta 92fs, S&W M&P 40, and Colt Gold Cup Trophy. In 9mm,.40, and 45acp.
Is it for any specific purpose? How about a CZ75?
In addition to the previous question, what is your budget like? If you've got the cash, there are some cool custom 1911's out there. But it's takes a wad of cash to play in that game, so to speak.
Have you thought about a revolver?
If all you own are centerfires, I'd suggest a rimfire.
consider the ruger gp 100. I am very satisfied with mine.
Buy a good quality .22 conversion kit for your Gold Cup, or buy a CZ-75 and add the Kadet .22 conversion.
It's a crime not to own a .22 handgun.
You will get noticed by folks at the range. Especially if it's an indoor range.
Lookin real hard into a good .357. My buddy has a Smith 686 and that thing rules.

heavy rain floods glass slider doors and comes inside.
I have two 9' glass slidder doors by my pool. When it rains hard the outside drain in front of the slidders can't drain the water fast enough so the rain water spills over into the slidder strip which then seeps into the house. This is the stupidest design I have ever seen. There is a hurricaine bearing down on us in 2 days with a promise of much rain. Need to fix now.
I've got the exact same problem as you do. All the homes in the area I live in have the exact same problem. I've contacted the window manufacturer, as have my neighbors, and we got the same response. They say it is part of the design and in heavy rains there is nothing they can do about it.
After much research I have determined that SLIDERS ARE JUNK!!!
By design, they leak the most air and let in the most amount of bugs and water. French doors or casement windows is the way to go. I will NEVER ever buy another home that has sliding windows or doors. Stupid design.
My advice, get the towels out and get ready to soak up the water....
bonster -
Maybe it is time to look at the size of your gutters and downspouts to get the water away. Since you are apparently in a warm climate close to the hurricane potential, heavy rains can be expected annually.
Best you can probably do right now is sandbag the area in front of the doors to try and direct some I the water elsewhere.
Is there anything you can do to increase the drainage from that area, or at lest make sure the drain you have is clear and in optimal working order? As was suggested I would consider sandbags if you have very heavy rains on the way.
Let me guess, the deck is level with the door, not at leat 4" below the dooor opening per code.
There is no sill pan under the door. Join the club there's 1000's of other people dealing with this just because no one reads the codes.
Post a picture for better help.
Good luck with your metal levee, bonster, seriously. Can you not put sand bags right over the drain just in front of the door?
Ya no this hole tread coulda been writin by me, whut with its slidders and dooors and awl. My spel chek gave up and left me four grinner pastors yeers agoe.
This is what was suppost to be under the door.
Still have not seen a picture of the outside of that door.
If you keep putting off fixing this you can look foward to far more wood damage under that door.
The doors going to need to come out to fix it right.

The Waukesha JanBoree, Waukesha County's popular winter festival, returns this weekend.
In addition to the many winter events, the fundraising event "Freezin' for Hunger," sponsored by the Food Pantry of Waukesha County, returns as well.
Karen Tredwell, executive director of the food pantry, said after a one-year hiatus, it is back with a kick-off at 4 p.m. Friday and goes until midnight in downtown Waukesha.
Volunteers and pantry staff can be found on the corner of Clinton and Main street near the Steaming Cup coffee shop where they will accept non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the pantry.
There is a drive-up, drop-off lane for donors.
Monetary donations labeled "Freezin' for Hunger" can also be mailed to the Food Pantry of Waukesha County at 1301 Sentry Drive, Waukesha, WI 53186.
Area resident and former pantry board member Tim Probst came up with the idea in 2005 to shed light on the issues of the homeless and hunger. He camped outside overnight exposed to the elements to raise awareness and collect donations for the pantry.
"The event has allowed me to surround myself with a lot of great people," Probst said. "I have met so many interesting and caring people that have many of the same interests that I do. It is good to be back."
Tredwell is grateful for Probsts' efforts and hopes it gets the community's support.
"As a volunteer of the pantry, Tim knows that this time of year can be tough for our agency," Tredwell said. "After the holidays, food donations dwindle until the Boy Scout Food Drive in March. He recognized that there are those in need in the community and simply stepped up and did something about it.
"He didn't wait for someone else or for the 'right' opportunity to do something. He just did it. We need more people like Tim who simply created his own event and opportunity to help people."
The JanBoree is in its 28th year and under new leadership for the first time.

|Tim Thomas would rather 'hide what a nut' he is than be on 24/7
|01.02.12 at 1:25 pm ET
WILMINGTON — If Tim Thomas is as strange as Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, he doesn't want people to know it.
With the Winter Classic set to be played Monday in Philadelphia, both the game and its accompanying television show, NHL 24/7 were popular topics in the Bruins' dressing room after their practice at Ristuccia Arena.
The show, which follows the participating teams behind the scenes in the weeks leading up to the game, is fascinating for hockey-lovers to watch, but might be a lot for the players to handle.
Bruins players said Monday that while they would love to play in the Winter Classic again, they might have reservations about having to be on the show. Some players, such as Bryzgalov, have let their quirky personalities turn them into stars of the show, but Thomas wouldn't be so quick to do the same.
"I'd absolutely hate that," Thomas said of being on the show. "Having cameras around all the time, I don't care what you say, it changes the way you act. You're either going to play for the camera or end up being quitter than you normally are. One way or another, I'd find it hard to be real with the camera."
Added a grinning Thomas: "I'd rather hide what a nut I am rather than advertise it to the whole world like that."
Bryzgalov's fascination with the universe, his knowledge of the death penalty in China and his comparing his Siberian Husky to a "hot girl" have made this season's show a hit. Thomas doesn't have many interesting analogies for his pets.
"I've got a German Shepard and a mutt," he said with a smile. "Good dogs."
Thomas likes what the show is able to bring to fans, but he feels there would be a limit regarding how comfortable he would be with cameras following him around at all times.
"You get the camera around all the time like that and you start to turn hockey players into Jersey Shore cast members or an MTV kind of thing like that," he said. "I don't think that's the way it should be, personally."
|24/7 running diary: Ilya Bryzgalov says more crazy things
|12.21.11 at 10:07 pm ET
We'll see how this goes…
10:01 ' In the 'previously on'¦' they show the Bryzgalov 'hum-an-gous big' part. If that's the funniest part of this episode, I still won't mind.
10:03 'Henrik Lundqvist is in a Foo Fighters cover band? Maybe he and Tuukka Rask can form a goaltending super-group. Rask plays drums, but he's more of a Metallica guy.
10:04 ' John McEnroe as the fun-loving guitarist? This show has jumped the shark 64 minutes in.
10:06 – Dan Girardi's kid reacted to the news of going to Philadelphia like the video was being sent to Jimmy Kimmel.
10:09 – REO Speedwagon. You betcha.
10:10 – On second thought, it still doesn't beat last week's Mac Miller scene.
10:11 – Good to see HBO can still do cool slow motion airport scenes even after Entourage is done. This is straight out of "Sundance Kids."
10:14 – I'll say it. I'm disappointed in Tortorella thus far. Sure, anyone can swear, but I thought that he would just… swear more.
10:15 – Laviolette answers the players' questions on the ice? He doesn't direct them to Paul Holmgren?
10:16 – Zac Rinaldo being shown pre-Lucic hit from behind.
10:17 – Bryzgalov time. What took so long?
10:18 – This scene of Harry Zolnierczyk asking Bryzgalov at lunch if he thinks he's the star of the show is straight out of Mean Girls. Next, Regina George is going to ask him if he thinks he's really pretty.
10:21 – Brandon Prust should be Tyler Seguin's roommate. Got Boyle up without a problem.
10:23 – There's the Tortorella we were hoping for. Imagine the Mighty Ducks movies if he played Gordon Bombay.
10:24 – Can that kid who re-did the Miracle speech on YouTube do this Tortorella one?
10:26 – Can that kid who re-did the Miracle speech on YouTube do this Laviolette one? It will help put me to sleep.
10:29 – "Instead we're killing another FRICKIN' penalty!" – Peter Laviolette. Or maybe it was Dr. Elliot Reid. Looked like Laviolette. Sounded like Smelliot.
10:35 – Love that they show how good these guys are with the community. Hockey players and coaches always are. Good to get a break from the laughing and swearing and see how down-to-earth they are.
10:37 – Pronger's on the ice. If you're not on twitter, you don't get that joke.
10:38 – "Why so like, PAINFUL? You know, like? I don't want to be goalie now." – A Flyers fan needs to show their fanhood by getting a tattoo of that quote.
10:40 – If Bryzgalov asks, "So who is more crazy: Me, or ___?" the answer is always Bryzgalov.
10:46 – Were they taking an x-ray or creating a Wii avatar?
10:46 – Gaborik did not celebrate the 300th goal of his career by suffering the 300th injury of his career.
10:49 – Another slow-motion transportation scene. I smell a spinoff.
10:50 – The UNH grad in me can't help but wonder why there's been no JVR this episode, and barely any last week.
10:51 – "Holy f****, boys." In case the standings don't suggest other teams are overwhelmed by the Bruins, that does.
10:53 – They're showing a bloodied Couturier undergoing cognitive testing after getting hit in the head with the puck. That's why this show is so fascinating.
10:55 – The hit from behind scene was a little underwhelming. Simmonds yelled at him. Was hoping for more than "you hit him from behind."
10:57 – All in all the footage from the Bruins game was underwhelming. The episode was somewhat lacking. Maybe they can sprinkle in cameos from the How to Make it in America Actors now that they cancelled it. Luis Guzman as a power-skating coach? I smell a spinoff.
|Patrice Bergeron named No. 2 star of the week
|01.17.11 at 12:40 pm ET
Bruins center Patrice Bergeron was named the No. 2 star of the week for the week ending on Jan. 16. The 25-year-old was runner-up to Hurricanes winger Jussi Jokinen, who had four goals and three assists in three games for Carolina during the week.
Bergeron also had seven points during the week, scoring four goals and adding three assists over a four-game stretch in which the B's went 3-1-0. On the season, Bergeron has 14 goals and 20 assists for a team-leading 34 points in 44 games.
Coyotes netminder Ilya Bryzgalov was named the third star.

Joanna Newsom
Welcome to the latest edition of Pitchfork's Guest List. Each week, we
ask one of our favorite artists to fill us in on what they've been up
to lately: which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't
put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour. This week it's Joanna Newsom, who professes her love for Lindsey Buckingham, admits which retro cable channel gets her undivided attention, and explains how Willie Nelson encourages her to answer the phone.
>> Favorite Songs of the Past Year
Lindsey Buckingham: "Shut Us Down"
I love him.
Meg Baird: "The Waltz of the Tennis Players"
It's a gorgeous cover of a gorgeous Fraser and Debolt song. I love her voice so much.
Macromantics: "Moments in Movement"
The whole record is amazing, but my favorite song is the title track. Either that or "Apple Crumble" . My sister and I drove around doing errands yesterday and hollering along to, like, every third word on this album. That's all we could manage 'cos Romy, the singer, goes so fast.
Bill Callahan: "Taken"
A gorgeous B-side from the "Diamond Dancer" single.
Alasdair Roberts: "Firewater (Library of Aethers)"
Ned Collete: "Blame"
Sinead O'Connor: "Jah Nuh Dead"
Bonnie "Prince" Billy: "Strange Form of Life"
>> Favorite Older Songs at the Moment *
The Zombies: "This Will Be Our Year"
Harry Nilsson: "Gotta Get Up"
Junior Murvin: "Roots Train"
The Band: "Acadian Driftwood"
Graham Nash: "Better Days"
Bruce Molsky: "I Truly Understand"
Rickie Lee Jones: "Young Blood"
Jerry Jeff Walker: "I Love You"
Lindsay Buckingham: "Bwana"
Josephine Foster: "Well-Heeled Man"
* I love these all equally much.
>> Favorite New Band
Ra Ra Rabbit are great.
>> Favorite Song Ever
It's a three-way tie between "Me and My Woman" by Roy Harper, "I Told Jesus" by Roberta Flack, and "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" by Randy Newman.
>> Best Recent Concert
>> Last Great Film I Saw
Rocky Balboa is best. I also love Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore , which my friend Kevin made me watch on the bus last fall.
>> Last Great Book I Read
Cormac McCarthy: The Road
Ian MacDonald: Revolution in the Head: The Beatles' Records and the Sixties
The Road was the best fiction book I've read recently. Revolution in the Head by Ian MacDonald was the best nonfiction.
>> Favorite Piece of Musical Equipment
I love my barcus-berry harp pickup.
>> Favorite Record Shop
After the Gold Rush Records, in Nevada City, Calif. I got a whole pile of records there last time: a Tom T. Hall Record; Loose by Crazy Horse; the soundtrack to Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (by Bob Dylan); a dub remix of "Cover Me" by Bruce Springsteen; Wild Tales by Graham Nash; a Sugar Minott record, Showcase ; Dave Van Ronk, Folksinger ; Prince Far I's Silver & Gold: 1973-1975 ; Tres Hombres by ZZ Top; a Boney M side, "Kalimba de Luna"; a weird/great Paul Williams record, Here Comes Inspiration, which actually has a song on it called "Nilsson Sings Newman" (!!!!); two medieval, renaissance, and baroque recorder ensemble albums; a Levon Helm solo record; and some Laura Nyro records 'cos people keep telling me she's great.
>> Best Purchase of the Past Year
My house.
I love it so much. There's, like, 20 rosebushes blooming right now, all different colors, and jasmine and irises and peonies, and two cherry trees, one bing cherry and one little pie-cherry tree, with lots of fruit on both of them. And a big backyard.
>> Best Thing I Did This Year
I went on an insane horseback ride in an estancia at the edge of a glacier in Patagonia. Me and my dad and some other folks and some actual gauchos. I had a good 10-minute gallop at the end that I'll remember till the day I die.
>> Favorite Venue
>> Favorite TV Show at the Moment
I actually just bought my first television ever and got cable and everything. But so far I only ever seem to end up watching VH1 Classic.
>> Favorite Radio Show
I don't listen to the radio very often but if I do it'll just be tuned to our local community station, KVMR. They play good world music a lot of the time. And in the summertime they'll broadcast stuff live, like the bluegrass festival and the Celtic festival at the fairgrounds.
>> My Ringtone
"Always on My Mind" by Willie Nelson.
I downloaded it and everything. I got really motivated to work it out so that my phone didn't make an awful noise when people called me, because I already have this problem with not picking up my phone-- even in the best of times. So I was hoping to kind of ease myself into the phone-picking-up thing, you know, sweeten the deal with a nice song. But before that, for the longest while, it was a standard ringtone called "Mellow Sorrow" which I chose because I thought the name was hilarious. But then I got really bummed out super fast, and it stopped being funny and I didn't know what to do. It's the worst song in the world. You just feel crestfallen when you hear it.

(This list originally appeared here in November 2004 in honor of Veterans' Day. It's been updated for Memorial Day, in which we honor those veterans of the American military who never made it home.)
The Cold, Hard Football Facts wake up every morning thankful they live in a remarkable country of such great fortune that we can spend our days devoted to the trivial joys of life. In our case, that means football, beer, travel, tailgating and writing. Yes, it's a comfy life we lead. Of course, the comforts of this society did not appear out of thin air. They were fought for and defended by men and women braver, tougher and more noble than we could pretend to be. This Memorial Day weekend, we take time out from our trivial pursuits to honor those who have fought for and defended our ideals over the past 230 years and who never made it home to enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices.
If you don't know about their contributions to our culture or their succesful efforts to free billions of people across the globe from oppressors, occupiers and tyrants, or if you're unaware of the importance of Saratoga, Gettysburg or Bastogne, we humbly suggest you take some time to learn more about them.
We've included a list of some of our favorite books to help get you started. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of books about the sacrifices of America's veterans. It's simply a list of books that we've found very powerful and moving. It's heavy on World War II histories. We're open to any suggestions you may have about other books we should read, especially some that offer insight into the American Revolution -- one of the most important events in world history, but one that's been relegated by the nation's educators to an empty list of names and dates with no wider context.
And, of course, don't forget our future veterans: the active duty men and women serving today in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe.
"Band of Brothers" by Stephen Ambrose. Most people are familiar with the HBO series "Band of Brothers," which is remarkably faithful to the book and, in the irrefutable estimation of the Cold, Hard Football Facts, the greatest program ever made for television. But the book gives you a little more insight into the individual soldiers, who often flash in and out of scenes on TV. Ambrose died in 2002, but devoted his life to preserving the memories of America's World War II veterans. He's also the founder of the D-Day Museum in New Orleans.
"The Boys' Crusade" by Paul Fussell. Ambrose is more famous than Fussell, but he tends to glorify the men who fought in World War II. Fussell, a veteran of the war himself, writes dark, spare portraits of combat and of life in the military in general. This very short book includes lesser known accounts of the Hurtgen Forest and of the mass killing of German defenders in Operation Cobra and the Falaise Pocket, which broke open the post D-Day stalemate in France.
"Catch-22" by Joseph Heller. This novel by a veteran of a World War II bomber crew virtually defines the term "dark comedy" and gave the English language a new phrase to indicate a no-win situation. Catch-22 is an antiwar novel about a crewmember on a World War II bomber who's afraid of dying so he pretends he's insane hoping the doctors will ground him. The doctors say fear of death is perfectly sane, so they keep sending him back out on an ever-growing list of combat missions.
"The Day the American Revolution Began" by William H. Hallahan. On April 19, 1775, members of the world's most powerful army set out from Boston to capture leaders of colonial Massachusetts' shadow government. They were met at Lexington and then Concord, and chased all the way back to the capital, by a surprisingly well prepared citizen militia that had quietly been trained in modern military tactics. Within days, some 20,000 farmers from across New England had marched through the countryside and laid siege to the British army in Boston, turning it into a wartorn ghost town. Who betrayed to the colonists the British plan to attack Lexington and Concord? British General Thomas Gage blamed his American-born wife and sent her into exile in London. This book reveals the unfolding human drama of the individuals whose lives were inalterably changed on April 19, 1775 and who shaped one of the most important dates in world history.
"Flags of our Fathers" by James Bradley. You know that picture of the Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima? Sure you do. It's the most famous and (for Americans) most powerful war photo ever taken. This is a story about the six men in the photo – three of whom never made it off Iwo Jima – written by the son of one of the flag-raisers. You will weep many times reading this book.
"In Harm's Way" by Doug Stanton. In July 1945, the U.S.S. Indianapolis set sail from San Francisco to Tinian Island in the Pacific with the atomic bomb that would be dropped on Hiroshima. Soon after delivering its cargo, the Indianapolis was torpedeod and sunk by a Japanese sub. Survivors of the initial attack floated helplessly for five days. Some went insane. Many were eaten by sharks. Only 317 members of a crew of 1,000 survived. This book tells the agonizing story of one of the worst disasters in U.S. naval history. The ship's story has reappeared numerous times in pop culture. In a pulsating scene from the classic movie "Jaws," surly captain Quint graphically reveals why he's devoted his life to hunting the kings of the deep: he's a survivor of the Indianapolis who watched as his friends were ripped apart by sharks.
"The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara. This is a historical novel, but remains faithful to the three-day bloodbath at Gettysburg, still the largest and perhaps the most important battle in American history and the one that turned the tide of the Civil War. Among the leading characters is Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, whose 20th Maine company held the far left end of the Union line and who literally saved the nation when he ordered his company to fix bayonets and charge after his troops had run out of ammunition. Chamberlain won the Medal of Honor for his conduct at Gettysburg. He miraculously survived multiple battlefield wounds and at the end of the war was chosen to accept the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee on behalf of the Union. He ordered his men to salute the defeated general.
"The Longest Day" by Cornelius Ryan. An Irishman wrote the seminal account of the 24 hours of D-Day that was later turned into the star-studded movie blockbuster of the same name. As is almost always the case, the book is better. Almost every image of D-Day the public holds in its collective memory today comes from Ryan's book. The Cold, Hard Football Facts used "The Longest Day" to map out our trip to the battlefields of Normandy for the 60th anniversary of D-Day in 2004.
"A Rumor of War" by Philip Caputo. Lt. Caputo was in one of the first "official" combat units to hit the ground in Vietnam in early 1965 and saw the worst the war had to offer. He wrote this account of his time in Vietnam and in combat a full decade later, but it is considered by many the best book about the war.
"Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut. Near the end of World War II, American and British bombers obliterated the eastern German city of Dresden, killing 135,000 people. Vonnegut, who served in the American army, survived the bombing and the massive firestorm it created with other POWs who were kept in an underground slaughterhouse. This semi-autobiographical work of science fiction centers on a former POW who survived the bombing. It's one of the most brilliant novels ever written.
"The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. O'Brien is an amazing writer and a Vietnam veteran who was deeply affected by his service in the military. "The Things They Carried" inhabits a hallucinatory world somewhere between novel and short story collection. It begins with a list of the material items the men in his unit carried in the jungles of Vietnam. It quickly evolves into a portrayal of the deeper emotional issues many Vietnam veterans still carry.
"To Hell and Back" by Audie Murphy. The movie is a staple of Veterans' and Memorial Day television. It doesn't do justice to this autobiography by America's most decorated World War II veteran. If you think you're a tough guy, you'll feel a little different after reading about Murphy's endless months of combat in Europe. He won the Medal of Honor after almost single-handedly destroying an advance by a German company. He ordered his outnumbered men to fall back, then mounted a burning tank and turned its 50-caliber machine gun on the German troops while calling in artillery support. You'll be shocked at how young Murphy was when you consider the movie, starring a baby-faced Murphy as himself, was made 10 years after the war.
"War's End" by Maj. Gen. Charles Sweeney. Sweeney is the only man to fly both atomic bomb missions. He was the pilot of "Bock's Car," the plane that dropped the second bomb on Nagasaki. This is his account of his role in one of the most important and controversial events in human history. Sweeney grew up in Quincy, Mass. and died last year in neighboring Milton. He wrote the book in response to what he believed was a wave of revisionist history that ignored a key fact: if the bombs were not dropped, the U.S. and its allies would have been forced to launch an invasion of mainland Japan that military experts believe would have cost millions of lives.
"All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. Yes, it's about a German soldier in World War I. But few works in the history of literature give a more stark, brutal portrayal of the life of a soldier. It will make you realize that in many wars – and certainly in World War I – the victims are found in those two lines of young soldiers facing each other.

Lead prosecutor in Bhutto case killed
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Gunmen on Friday killed the lead Pakistani prosecutor in two high-profile cases — the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, and the brutal assault on civilians in Mumbai — shocking a country reeling from Taliban attacks as it prepares for nationwide elections.
Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali was gunned down in a hail of bullets as he drove to court in the normally quiet capital, where a concentration of diplomats, government and military officials and aid workers live. Nobody claimed responsibility for the killing, but as Ali's work put him in direct conflict with militant groups, suspicion immediately fell on them.
Ali was leading the prosecution against several suspected Taliban militants as well as former military ruler Pervez Musharraf for alleged roles in the 2007 Bhutto assassination. He was also prosecuting militants linked to the 2008 terror attack in the Indian city of Mumbai.

From Canal Street to Houston Street, from Lafayette to the Hudson River.
Many of SoHo's expansive apartments were built in the 19th Century, when the use of cast iron for building fronts allowed for larger windows than traditional brick buildings. The broad windows were used to shed light on factories and offices, which were then converted into the sun-bathed SoHo co-op and condo lofts we know today. In fact, the historic district in SoHo has the largest concentration of cast-iron architecture anywhere in the world, though SoHo's manufacturers have given way to artists, fashion designers and Wall Street types seeking light and space in their apartments.

Located on a quiet, almost secret, tree-lined street, this meticulously renovated red brick building erected in 1915 served as the stable for the City's Police Building one block away. In 1927, it became a warehouse for used manufacturing goods and the new owner changed the name to the Grand Machinery Exchange. In 2007, it was converted into fourteen condominiums and, as one of the developers was an architectural historian, great care was taken in the conversion to preserve the thirteen-foot Southern Yellow pine ceilings, with heavy timber beams and exposed brick walls. To honor a bygone era, the architects also chose to leave the faded nomenclature on the exterior. The building is situated between Chinatown, SoHo, NoLita and Little Italy. It attracts sophisticated downtown buyers looking for privacy, exclusivity and hints of modern design with exterior pre-war sturdiness.

The Wüsthof Classic 12 Piece Block Set includes knives to answer nearly any kitchen need, all housed within an attractive storage block. Consisting of a 3.5" Paring Knife (4066/9), four 4.5" Steak Knives (4068), the 6" Utility Knife (4522/16), the 8" Cook's Knife (4582/20), the 8" Bread Knife (4149), the 8" Carving Knife (4522/20), Kitchen Shears (5558-1), the 9" Sharpening Steel (4461/23) and the 13-slot hard wood storage block (2263), this assortment serves as a diverse collection for the busy family kitchen or budding cooking enthusiast.
For jobs requiring fine control, reach for the Wüsthof Classic 3.5" Paring knife or the 6" Utility knife. The 3.5" Paring Knife is an ideal choice for mincing shallots, onions and herbs. Longer than the paring knives but more narrow than a chef's knife, the 6" Utility knife handles small and large mincing, peeling and dicing jobs with grace and is perfect for anything in between.
When the family or guests are seated for a classic steak dinner, four 4.5" Steak Knives offer sharp piercing blades that ensure clean slices without tearing. These knives perfect for filet mignon, ribs, pork or veal chops, and roasts, and are versatile enough for both difficult and delicate meats.
For your larger food prep tasks, you'll have three distinct blades to choose from. The Wüsthof Classic 8" Cook's Knife can be utilized for tasks both small and large, effortlessly slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping meats, vegetables, fruit, and herbs, and ranks among the most popular of sizes & styles of knife. For larger jobs that require a serrated edge, use the Wüsthof Classic 8" Bread knife and its sharp, serrated edge, that is also suitable for cakes, fruits, and fried food. For carving and slicing, the blade of the Wüsthof Classic 8" Carving knife is perfectly sized and shaped for larger birds, roasts, barbecued beef and ham, particularly useful for holiday dinners or large family meals.
The Kitchen Shears readily handle cutting fins or flowers, releasing foods from twine and packaging, or snipping fresh herbs, and can provide an advantage over stubborn jar lids with the bone crusher built into the handle. Their come-apart design makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
Since care and maintenance is part of keeping these fine blades at their sharpest, the Wüsthof Classic 12 Piece Block Set includes a 9" Sharpening Steel, appropriate for sharpening blades up to 9" long.
Finally, the handsome 13-slot hard wood block holds and protects these fine instruments, and offers 2 open slots for additional knives.
Blades of the Classic series are each forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel, using Wüsthof's patented Precision Edge Technology (PEtec). The hand-honed edges are then laser-tested for quality and precision, leading to sharper blades with notably longer edge retention than most other knives. These striking and elegant blades offer ultimate balance and safe, controlled handling. The bolster of the Wüsthof Classic series knives provide optimal protection during use.
Complete with a full tang and triple-riveting, each specialized knife has a contoured handle that provides comfort and a permanently secure construction. The handles of the Wüsthof Classic series are crafted from a durable, synthetic polymer, and proudly display the renowned trident logo.
The pieces of the Wüsthof Classic 12 Piece Block Set are each made in Solingen, Germany and carry a lifetime guarantee.

OK, so say I employ you (or a reasonable facsimile) to do a cutout at my house. In the process, you slip on honey goo, fall and suffer a compound fracture of your tibia. And shoot, your smoker falls , breaks open, starts a fire and burns my house down. You're in the hospital & rehab for several months and decide to sue me for health bills & lost wages. Meanwhile, since you were'nt required to carry liablility insurance and have few assets, my homeowner's pays for the rebuild & promptly drops coverage. Or they don't pay, because you weren't licensed. You successfully sue and I take another hit financially. Or gosh, maybe the AHB colony you were working gets upset and is stinging my neighbors up and down the street, sending a hypersensitive person to the ER.....
so, you may think that I'm these are fantastic scenarios.. but they aren't . crap happens... ANYBODY with bee knowledge should be allowed to remove or destroy pest bees?

Thats very true. All that matters is money or control or money and control.
I am taking a course for "Private Applicators License" to be able to get what I need for my garden. It is an 8hr course that costs $50 every 10 years. Even the farmers have to do it. The course is taught during the day and test at the end. It's mighty funny that nobody ever fails. As I said, It's all about money.
Can't you see it coming? it wont be long before you'll have to hire an exterminator to come and swat the fly that is buzzing you.
It's called, COMMUNISM!

Monday morning was a bit of a nightmare as we had to buy food and pack the car-after over an hour we realised we had no room for food and had to leave a lot of our belongings back at the hostel. The car was jammed full with just 4 of us and we eventually made it to the campsite at Ubir rocks in Kakadu. The Canadians are used to eating in style when they camp so we had burgers with the works that night.
Breakfast was also luxurious - scrambled egg, cheese and bacon sandwich with the works. We headed off to Ubir rocks to see some aborigional rockart and a great view from the top, apparently used in Crocodile Dundee. We drove down a corrogated dirt road to Sandy Billabong (very bumpy in our X-Trail!) but couldn't find any crocs. We did a nice walk up a steep hill to a lookout point and ended up at Yellow Water caravan park - more like a resort with it's fancy pool and waterfall which of course we dived straight into. That night was more good food and we saw a dingo which was cool.
The next morning we drove to Yellow Water Billabong andspotted a baby croc floating next to the boat ramp and saw the local croc in charge of the joint, Pluto
Thursday we hatched a plan and decided to finish our week in Katherine as I'd heard you can canoe and camp overnight down the gorge there. So we made a quick swimming stop at Maguk Falls which was very pretty and I saw a huge Garfish underwater then we drove to Gunlom Falls campsite and hiked up to the top for the sunset and a quick swim - I have some amazing photos from that evening but they will have to wait until I find broadband
Friday morning I headed off on a short hike and saw some huge red kangaroos then headed to the top of Gunlom again for more exploring of the pools up there. That afternoon we drove to Katherine Gorge but were told we couldn't take a canoe overnight so we were gutted! The only thing we could do was canoe for the day then drive to Edith Falls for the following night to swim there. The campsite at Katherine Gorge was pretty busy but still quiet and I saw some beautiful birds including a blue winged Kookaburra. I also chatted to a local guy who told me about Edith Falls and mentioned that the pool at the top was worth checking out - it's always good to get tips that way.
Saturday we canoed down Katherine Gorge which was stunning. We took lunch with us and had a swim and made it to the end of the 4th Gorge - as it's dry season the water level is low and rock bars form, meaning you have to carry the canoe over these sections. At the end of the 3rd section it was a few hundred metres of rocks so we dumped the canoes and swam 500m to the end of the next section which was tiring as we then had to swim back and canoe back down the gorge
Last night we drove to the Adelaide River pub and camped there as I'd one the week before - unfortunately they'd taken the crocodile away for rennovations! It was pretty quiet except for a school group taking part in the solar car challenge (building a car and driving it 320km from Darwin to Adelaide) and I got chatting to them this morning. They were from Perth and hadn't made the check-in time at the last check-point but were determined to finish the distance.
Arrived back in Darwin today and I've spent the whole afternoon trying to get out of town. I'd been told I couldn't get to the Kimberleys myself and all the tours had either finished for the season or didn't leave for another week. There's no way I'm spending a week in Darwin with nothing to do so I've been looking at my options. I decided to take a Kimberleys tour as they have me $390 off the price and a free night a their hostel and have said I can work for my bed for the week, however I'm looking into voluntering out of Darwin in exchange for food and a bed as I can't get work for just one week anywhere and I don't want to be in Darwin. I've a few phone calls to make in the morning so fingers crossed I can sort something!

Unfortunately for us, tickets were about as far ahead as we had planned, and we were extra sorry that we had left Ypres when we got to Brugge, only to discover that as well as being crowded, touristy and extremely expensive, there was almost no accomodation to be had anywhere in the city. To give Brugge it's due, it is a lovely town with stunning historic architecture and picture-postcard canals winding through the streets - but to be honest, I think next time we'll just buy the postcard and save ourselves the trip! The helpful people at the Tourist Info Centre eventually found us a two-star hotel with a clean but TINY room and a filthy communal bathroom
If you could ignore the hordes of middle-aged tourists trotting around after flag-waving tour guides, the town was in fact quite beautiful in the late autumn afternoon light, cobbled streets lined with tiny chocolatier shops led to ornate cathedrals or huge, flag-bedecked public squares. In the imaginatively named Main Square, we wandered by accident into the elaborately painted medieval wooden Cathedral of the Holy Blood. The sound of money clinking into a box echoed inside as a steady line of tourists queued up to pray over the reliquary inside which was a scrap of cloth supposedly stained with Christ's blood. We were skeptical, to say the least.
We carried on in search of an internet cafe and eventually found one run by a blonde, Belgian Muslim woman with a table full of cakes, cookies and treats that we were invited to help ourselves to in celebration of the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. The cake definitely helped console us when we got stuck trying to find accomodation in Brussels for the following night - who knew mid-October was such a busy tourist season??!
We walked back into town and consoled ourselves further by stopping at a local pub which boasted 100 different kinds of beer - our new favourite is the Hoegaarden Rose, a Belgian-made white beer flavoured with raspberry.
A fantastic buffet breakfast in the hotel the next morning did slightly redeem our faith in both the hotel and the city (slightly!) but we are both getting a little weary of hostel living, and are hoping we can find something a bit better in Brussels, our next stop!
All our best from Belgium,
Dan and Gabes

You don't need to want to be a Heart Surgeon to enjoy the wonders of the Heart.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to see a beating human heart, or how if feels to hold it in your hand? Have you ever been inclined to examine the mitral and aortic valves, which up to now have represented themselves only as nonmusical sounds through your stethoscope? Did you know that cardiothoracic surgeons spend their careers concentrating on the diagnosis and management of both the number one non-cancer killer of adult Americans (cardiovascular disease), as well as the number one cancer killer of American men and women (lung cancer)? Regardless of your answers to the above questions, or which way your career plans may take you, we promise a fascinating and rewarding three weeks on our cardiothoracic service.
Our medical student rotation is part of the 3rd year medical student Surgical Subspecialties Rotation. Students participate in a 3 week rotation based at LAC/USC Medical Center.

Fortunately, though, we were treated to the best weather of the trip -- more sunny and pristine than any of us could have ever mentioned for the north coast of Ireland in mid-October. We enjoyed the coastal drives and made a couple stops as we took the scenic route toward our ultimate destination -- the Giants Causeway. We first stopped at some old temple-y thing out on a nice green pasture with lots of sheep and then at a castle that sat right next to the sea. The castle stop included an illicit climb through a cave.
Shortly before lunchtime we finally found the Causeway, which was much more of an ordeal than we expected it would or it should have been. Considering it's the single biggest attraction in the region, we just assumed it would be abundantly easy to find the place. We also thought they would've covered their bases a little better, but they made it exceptionally easy to skip paying the 5 quid parking fee by parking for free in the restaurant lot right next to the pay lot. There's a long loop walk you can take up to the Giants Causeway and we learned fairly quickly that we did the loop in the opposite direction of what most people do
Eventually we made it down to sea level and over to the actual Causeway. It wasn't necessarily as impressive as it had been made out to be, but it's still pretty cool nonetheless. The Giants Causeway is a series of cylindrical rocks of varying height that form their own patterns and little hills that lead out to sea. This also happened to be Adrian's turn to share the legend, and what we learned is that Adrian is a sick, depraved little boy. But that's why we love him.
We really didn't have any other stops after the Giants Causeway (there turned out to be a really cool rope bridge that we skipped because our map that highlighted the 'cool' stuff and overhyped it had made the bridge sound less than impressive) so we meandered along the coast while trying to figure out our plan for the night. We tried to salvage the previous night's goal of finding a campsite in a small town. But once again we came to the realization that all the campsites on the island were shut for the season. There was a 'hostel' in the town but it appeared to be a branch of the Irish equivalent of the boy scouts, so we didn't trust it one bit and went to our fall back plan, which was spending the night in Belfast
We pulled into Belfast around 8 and got to see most of the city as we drove around looking for a hostel. It looked like a nice city as we wound up and down the one-way streets but we never got to see the famous murals that were erected throughout the conflict that rocked the area. We settled on the soulless, clinical Hosteling International hostel because it was close to the Golden Mile and had a parking lot. The Golden Mile is the nightlife district of Belfast and if this was more than likely my last night out with Adrian (we were going our separate ways but there were rumors of a spur of the moment side trip to Morocco -- but that would require using my Dublin to Glasgow flight, skipping Scotland and going straight to London to fly down there and getting back in time to meet up with my parents who were arriving in a week and a half, in other words it wasn't very likely), we were going to make it count. We stopped at a place with a crazy Medieval theme because they had huge comfy throne-like chairs to relax in while we drank our pints and listened to the same old cliched Top 40 crap.
But after a little while The Untouchables came on to perform their set, and in a word, they were awesome

book recommendations for 16 year old boys
Book talk
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
Does anyone have any book recommendations for boys ages 16-18? My son just finished reading "Struts & Frets" and I'd like to find something along that line for him to read while he's still interested. It seems the only books out there are either about vampires, fantasy, or war, none of which he likes. Any suggestions?
The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold. Science fiction and not about war, despite the title. Brilliant book, with sequels and prequels if he happens to get hooked.
Youth in revolt by CD Payne - there was a recent movie based on it.
Robert Muchamore's Cherub series.
I was never a sixteen year old boy, but I want to recommend The Rachel Papers to every teen I meet. It's funny, smart-alecky, and a lot of other things teenage boys like.
I haven't read it, but I'm wondering about Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, based on reviews from that and Struts and Frets.
Other edgy stuff like that. My boys at that age loved The Perks of Being a Wallflower and more recently A heartbreaking work of staggering genius.
Another interesting work might be The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
I should think that your son would be wanting to read books written for adults, as well as teen stuff. If rock music is important to him, have a look at the tagmash http://www.librarything.com/tag/fiction,+rock - that might throw up a few ideas (although I can't imagine how Hamlet got in there...). Nick Hornby and Hanif Kureishi might well be writers who appeal, if they aren't too British for wherever you are. Definitely The Rachel papers too, as emaestra says!
My 15 yo son reads adult books- mostly non-fiction. He reads baseball commentary, World War II history, classic science fiction (not fantasy)(lots of short stories out there if attention span is an issue), Terry Pratchett -all the discworld series-might be too much fantasy, but the humor might catch him. He recently liked Cormac MacCarthy's The Road, and Orwell's 1984.
I have not pushed him toward mysteries and thrillers because so many have gratuitous sex and sexual violence- but I would not stop him if he picked them up on his own. Might say more about me than him...
Biographies can be good- Musicians, or some other theme that he likes...
I'm not totally sure what "genre" your son is into, whether if it's horror (non-vampire), mystery, hard sci-fi, or whatever else it may be. I'm going to go out of a limb and say that Romance ain't the answer.
That said, I agree with some of the previous responses. He's probably ready for adult literature, but specifically that of which has a simple plot, and possibly characters his age as the main characters.
My recommendation would be John Saul. I've read his first 5 books. It's not horror like Stephen King horror with all kinds of gore and stuff. It's much lighter, and is typically psychological. Children and Teens seeing people that nobody else can see, for instance. It's like having inner-demons.
If memory serves me right, I think Comes the Blind Fury was about a blind child falling off a cliff, and then many years later, only this 1 child can see the child that fell umpteen years ago, and encourages the 12-year old (I think that's how old the main character was) to taunt other kids at school. Going off memory of a book that I hadn't read in a while.
The other advantage about Saul is that his plots are simple to follow. It's not like some other authors where you have 5 different things going on at once, and trying to keep up can be confusing.
I haven't read Struts & Frets, but based on the tags and reviews, I would recommend The House of Tomorrow by Peter Bognanni. It is just recently out, I read it a week or two ago and LOVED it.
He might enjoy The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Well-written, funny and good.
I just remembered this website: http://guysread.com/, as well as www.teenreads.com.
Here's a few that my son (now 17) really liked:
No Country for Old Men, Oil, Les Stroud's Survive (he's the guy from Survivorman), Great Gatsby, any of the Jack London books, the Alistair MacLean mysteries, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, and Blood and Thunder.
I just finished the quaint Canoeing with the Cree written by a teenage eric Sevareid. If a boy is interested in adventure, this depression era odyssey is perfect.

While most people in the country are struggling to keep up with their bills and earning far less than they should be, it appears that Jermaine Dupri is not one of those people. The IRS filed a lien in 2008 on Dupri's assets, claiming that he owed over $3 million from all the way back to 2006.
The music mogul coughed up the $3 million and paid off his tax debt recently. Seems he is doing rather well in the music industry, despite the fact that he seems to have disappeared completely from the news, other than when he has financial problems.
Dupri has also had to save his house a few times this past year from foreclosure. He was caught in a battle saying that he didn't owe as much money as the mortgage company said that he owed, and didn't make payments for almost an entire year. He had to pay almost $200,000 the first time to save it from foreclosure, and now again is fighting with the mortgage company, even taking them to court, to fight the auction on his house. The judge sided with Durpi.
You would think with all of the money that these music industry giants make, they wouldn't have money problems, but there are some who do not invest or save any money for the future. Even Elton John has been close to bankruptcy because he spent too much on shiny new outfits for his concerts!
Cars, houses, clothes, drugs, lavish parties are all a part of the rock star life right? As Dupri's song goes, money "ain't a thing". Wouldn't it be nice to live in their shoes, just for one day and not have to worry about how you are going to afford groceries or rent for the next month? Money ain't a thing to the rich and famous.

Very! Not every cat is silly enough to play with their own tail, but for those that can ignore the sensations coming from their tail as they pounce on it it's a very fun game. It's more common in kittens but some cats go their whole lives convinced a devious furry snake is following them. As long as they don't bite their tail hard it's not a problem. Keep an eye out for injuries on his tail- if you see swelling or he ever can't hold it up he should see a vet as he may have given himself an abscess. More likely though, he'll just keep having good harmless fun!

Photos: Chris Cozzone
Press the picture to go to the next
By Felipe Leon at ringside
Unbeaten jr middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (39-0-1, 29 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Luciano Cuello (23-1, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Plaza Monumental Playas in Tijuana, Mexico. The fight was very competitive with Chavez a little busier, but Cuello was applying much of the pressure, often backing up the taller Chavez. After the first four rounds, Chavez was up 39-37. Cuello was bleeding heavily from the nose from round four. Chavez won by scores of 98-92, 96-94, 96-95. After the fight, promoter Bob Arum named John Duddy, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao as potential opponents for Chavez Jr.
WBC super featherweight champion Humberto Soto (47-7-2, 29 KOs) became the first man to stop three-time title challenger Antonio Davis (26-5, 13 KOs) with a fourth round TKO. Soto dropped Davis twice in round one, and twice in round four, before referee Roberto Ramirez Jr. waved it off after after Davis was rocked again. Time was 2:38.
Former WBO super flyweight champion Fernando Montiel (39-2-1, 29 KOs) impressively won the vacant WBO bantamweight title with a third round annihilation of Diego Silva (24-2-3, 12 KOs). Silva was dropped by a glancing right hand in round two, then floored twice by left hooks in round three. Time was 2:24.
Two-time world title challenger Antonio Diaz (46-5-1, 29 KOs) won a close but unanimous decision over Ciudad Juarez, MX favorite Javier Castro (19-2, 17 KOs) in a welterweight contest. Both fighters fought in close range with Castro being deducted a point for a low blow. Scores were 95-94 and 96-93 twice.
Tijuana's Antonio Lozada Jr. was awarded a unanimous decision over six lightweight rounds over Tomas Sierra of Villa Nicolas Romero, MX. The fight was closer than the decision rendered.
Adan Osuna esily defeated Manuel Armendariz at the 2:05 mark of the second round. After dropping Armendariz with a left hook, a flurry of punches prompted the referee to stop the bout.
Pro debuter Andy Garcia of Mexicali connected a hard right hand that sent Miguel Ramirez, also of Mexicali, crashing to the canvas for the full count in the first round.
Antonio Margarito's brother in law Hazel Martinez made his pro debut a good one by dropping Jose Inez mid way thru the first round with a left hook to the body. The bout was stopped soon after. Official time 1:42 of the first.
Tijuana's Arturo Badillo stopped Lisandro De Los Santos of Sonora in the third round of a scheduled four round flyweight bout. Badillo controlled the action, De Los Santos was never in the fight.

West Grand sees improvements, Ws
December 18, 2012
The West Grand High girls basketball team continues to show improvement on the season, splitting a pair of non-league contests to earn a season record of 3-2. The Lady Mustangs fell to Clear Creek on Friday night, 52-28, before traveling to Aspen to earn a 55-38 victory over the Skiers.
In wrestling action, Steven Terrazas continued his impressive start to the season by pinning three opponents in the heavyweight division to earn the championship spot on the podium at the West Grand High School Invitational Wrestling Tournament.
Terrazas, a freshman at West Grand, brought the crowd to its feet with an exciting semi-final pin of last year's state runnerup from Wyoming. Terrazas ended up on the bottom of a pileup with the grappler from Wyoming, when he excecuted a quick reversal and subsequent pin to earn the victory.
Fellow West Grand wrestlers, Cole Tracy and Mitch Cunico, also fared well. Tracy was 4-1 on the day and was given fourth place when he lost a coin flip for third place. A sophomore, Tracy, pinned all of his four opponents in his victories in the 132 lb. weight division.
Cunico, a freshman wrestler for the Mustangs, earned second place with a 3-1 mark. Cunico competed in the 98 pound weight division.
Girls Basketball
The Lady Mustangs started well against Clear Creek before letting the lead slip away and losing to the Golddiggers, 52-28.
"The first half was the best half of basketball we've played all year, taking a lead against a very good and very tall Clear Creek team." Coach Davin Boydstun said. "It was just a game where the little things didn't go our way. We missed some easy shots and made some mental mistakes that led to the game slipping away."
Kristina Ekren led the team in scoring with Anna Cunico and Kaitlyn Adams scoring six points apiece.
The Mustangs dominated the first half against Aspen, were outscored in the third frame and then rebounded to win going away, 55-38.
"This was our most complete game yet," Coach Boydstun said. "We started strong with a 21-6 lead after the first period. Kaitlyn (Adams) and Sky (LePage) dominated in the post offensively and defensively. Sarah (Vance) was shooting very well and playing tough defense. Kristina (Ekren), Bailey (Monahan) and Payton (Coleman) played great defense, leading the team to 22 steals for the game."
"We slipped a little in the third quarter," Boydstun continued. "But the girls regained their composure and finished very strong, winning the fourth quarter, 17-8."
Adams led the team in scoring with 20 points, Vance added 11, LePage chipped in with 10 points and Coleman added eight to the winning total.
The girls played Middle Park on Tuesday of this week and will be off for the Christmas break.

Health-care: Bring states online one at a time
Individuals states should focus to remedy health-care glitch
Contrasting the two articles in The Seattle Times about the states that are successfully signing up enrollees in the Affordable Care Act and those that cannot sign up using the national website, it seems to me the solution to this problem is hiding in plain sight ["Obama concedes tech glitches but defends health-care law," page one, Oct. 22].
Why doesn't the federal government simply take the best of the state-developed, working health-care-enrollment websites (California, Kentucky, or Washington state for example) and use those? As government funding has already paid for those software solutions, it seems to me that you should be able to simply plug in the datasets from another state and quickly get each state up and rolling in quick order. A well-designed software solution would make it easy to plug in new data and new connections without disrupting the underlying code since these state solutions already have anticipated the need for annual changes.
If we break the problem down into a smaller steps and apply a proven solution, we should be able to bring states online one at a time.
Instead of trying to have one humongous solution for those states that dumped this responsibility on the federal government, focus on getting one state up each day and enrolling people. Microsoft and Google, among others, already have server space available in their server farms that could be used to house these state-specific solutions in quick order.

R (teen drug and alcohol use, strong language including brief sexual references); 90 min.
Apart from her directorial debut, 1999s The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola has built a critically acclaimed filmography that coolly dissects what it means to be famous.
The Bling Ring, adapted from a Vanity Fair article about a small band of starstruck burglars, takes Coppolas fascination with fames reality-distortion field to its logical extreme.
Infusing a ripped-from-the-headlines narrative with a clinical detachment and a sharp eye for teenage life in suburban America, Coppolas film is the ultimate Hollywood selfie, celebrating its glossy fabulousness even as its horrified by unintended consequences. The audiences guide is Marc (newcomer Israel Broussard), who falls into a celebrity-obsessed circle of female friends at his new high school, led by Rebecca (Katie Chang). Its not long before the group is searching the Internet for addresses to celebrities houses, and then breaking in.
Working with cinematographers Harris Savides (who died last year, and to whom the film is dedicated) and Christopher Blauvelt, Coppola mashes together surveillance footage, contemplative long shots (a lingering late-night raid of Audrina Patridges home is stunning) and glimmering montages worthy of a music video to immerse viewers in the teens heady rush of bad decisions. The soundtrack is equally essential, full of cutting-edge acts like Sleigh Bells, M.I.A., Rick Ross and Kanye West.

If you are waiting for a table at BONOBO, one of Portland's new pizza places, you can peruse a book of photographs featuring the large primates after which Bonobo is named, in various forms of sexual congress. Bonobo are popular in certain circles because of their reputation as being peaceful, feast-prone, sex-loving, matriarchal, and a little gay. Hippies are pleased to find an alternative evolutionary cousin to replace the violent, scheming, masculinist chimpanzee. Now Bonobo the restaurant hopes to benefit from an association of pizza and sex-positive communalism.
But what we know about the bonobo is mostly based on what happens if you provide them with lots of food. In their natural environment, where food is more scarce — wild bonobo live only in an isolated section of Congolese rainforest — the situation is much murkier. The females have a disturbing habit of ganging up on the passive males and slowly chewing off their fingers or genitalia. Perhaps the proliferation of new pizza places in Portland, in satisfying our appetites, will help us stave off our own gender conflict.
Bonobo itself is a fine place to ponder such questions. It's warm in there, thanks to the brick oven, and with the room's green and copper colors you could almost imagine yourself in the rainforest at sunset. A pesto pizza heightens the effect by arriving at table a little damp. This is mostly the result of a very good fresh ricotta that pools and blends into the mellow pesto. The resulting pie is creamy and rich. Flavors were more pronounced with the "smoky," which is dominated by big chunks of butternut squash. A regular we chatted up agreed that the roasting really brought out the sugars of the squash, but thought that the sharp and salty Gorgonzola kept the pie from becoming cloying.
We appreciated that Bonobo does not over-crisp its thin crusts. There is so much praise for crisp pizza that bakers often cook them till they snap like a brown Dorito. But the bottom of a Bonobo pie is a more complex pattern of auburn and beige and it offers a more interesting chew that lets the starchy flavors of the bread accompany their pies' thoughtful array of cheeses and toppings.
