Canted footbed binding ideas
I need some new bindings for a NS SL. I want something with a canted footbed because I do run a fairly wide stance plus Ive never tried the canted footbed but it sounds like a good idea.
My first thought is the 390 Boss. I love my 390s on another board but I think I should put something a little stiffer on the SL. I was going to go Targa but I would like to keep the budget a little lower if possible.
I see Leo recommending the K2 Uprise so I am thinking about those too.
Anyone have any other recommendations to look into.
Targas are worth it. You get what you pay for!
Rome Targas are definitely an option. The highbacks are stiffer than the 390s, but the ankle strap's flex customizable. It also has the same Yes I Cant system as the bosses which give you a few options for canting.
I do love the 2011 K2 Auto Uprise. They redesigned the toe straps on these. In previous models, people complained about the bottom lip of the toe strap not conforming to their boots. Now you are able to independently adjust the top and bottom lip to fit whatever boot you put in it.
Looks very flimsy, but I didn't have any issues with em. The ones I demoed were set up by the rep. Took some dialing in, but afterwards I was good to go. I ended up using it on a few other K2 boards because I liked it. Dunno if that was a bad idea or not because I didn't get to try any of their other bindings because of this decision lol.

If you are looking to spend a little more dough, I would highly recommend the Ride Deltas. Awesome bindings. They will likely be my next pair if I get another setup. Stiffer than the 390s for sure. About mid-stiff I would say. I'm a huge fan of Ride's Thingrip toe straps and their Stealth highbacks from the MVMNT line.

I have the SPi's and like them, but as far as the canted footbed...it does help with fatigue and pressure on my feet, especially on the outside of the foot.
How does the stiffness of the Uprise compare to the 390s? I like the older 390s but the newer ones seem softer and I would like at least the stiffness of the older ones.
Rob, quit buying shit!
Hey, I love my auto evers. You are welcome to try them when I see you in Feb.
Hmm, from what I have heard (haven't tried older 390's), the 2011 version has stiffened up a bit. I used the boss in some great pow runs and it did a pretty good job. I feel that if my boots were stiffer, it would have fared much better.
It's pretty dead center of medium flex spectrum in my opinion. Great for my style: I dabble in everything I can (minus jibs).
It's hard to recall whether or not the Uprise was stiffer than the Boss. I only recently picked up the Boss and I rode the Uprise last Feb. I do remember it being a mid-flex binding as well.
To the best of my memory, I would say:
Boss: 5 flex
Uprise: 6
I gotta stop looking and buying snowboard shit myself. Got too much!!!!

In June I had ear pinning for my daughter who has stahls ear deformity. Three weeks later a hole appeared on one side and the suture came apart. Now about 5 months later, the surgeon tells us my daughter will have to go to surgery again so he can see why the area is not healing. The area where the suture came apart has not healed and leaks fluid and crusts/scabs over. This ear is super pinned to her head as well. Please tell me if I should get a second opinion or trust this surgeon? Thanks.
Should I Get a Second Doctor's Opinion for my Seven Year Old Daughter?
Doctor Answers 3
A Second Opinion is Very Helpful
Thank you for your question. It sounds like your daughter had a Stahls ear deformity correction and has had a complication. It is likely that one of the permanent sutures used in the correction either became exposed or infected. There may be a localized infection in the cartilage and/or skin. More foreign body material (suture) may be preventing healing. I would spend some time reviewing with your doctor his/her plan in detail. A second opinion from an Otoplasty expert would also be a good. idea. A plastic surgeon who specializes in congenital ear problems would be a good plan. If you live in a large city, consider visiting the pediatric plastic surgeon at your Children's Hospital. Best wishes!

Concerns after Otoplasty?
As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise/specific advice. Assuming your plastic surgeon is well-trained, well experienced, and has been diligent in the care of your daughter, I would suggest that you continue follow-up with him/her. Remember, that (unfortunately) complications do occur, even in the best of hands.
On the other hand, for more information or simple piece of mind, a second opinion may be helpful.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_ear.htm
It never hurts to get a second option especially, with surgery on children. However, your surgeon is most likely correct. Your daughter most likely has developed chondritis post operatively which will require surgical debridemount/ removal. Cultures could be essential in this case. Best,

I have wrinkles under my eyes. Is Botox safe for sensitive skin? Does it have any side effects with regard to my skin type? Will it be good for me or is there a better treatment?
Botox Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Doctor Answers 4
Botox is safe for sensitive skin
Botox is safe for sensitive skin but there should not be any signs of infection present when you are having treatments. Please consult an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see if Botox would be an appropriate treatment for your under eye wrinkles.
Topical anesthetic may irritate sensitive skin.
As long as you're not getting any prep or topical agent, BOTOX is very safe for sensitive skin.
I haven't had great success with lower lid wrinkles treated with BOTOX. Crow's feet are much more predictable.
Best regards.
Botox is safe for sensitive skin as long as you do not have any open sores
Botox is safe for sensitive skin as long as it is not inflammed, or there are open sores. In other words as long as the barrier is intact and there are no lesions.
Sensitive skin sometimes goes hand in hand with allergies. I have never had someone have a allergic reaction to Botox.
You might also like...
Botox is 100% safe for sensitive skin and all skin color types.
Thanks for your question.
Botox is 100% safe for your sensitive skin, and it is safe for all skin types and color types. You should not worry about that.
However, Botox treatment is best for the lines around the eyes, and may only sometimes improve lines underneath the eyes. Better choices for the lines underneath the eyes include excellent moisturizing creams (Teamine, Kinerase, Obagi, Olay) and a fractional laser resurfacing procedure.
Hope this helps!

Here's another easy to do project using recycled wood from pallets. It is a patio bench that can sit two. It took close to three hours from beginning to end including building, sanding, and painting. Painted with outdoor paint in hunter green. Here are some pictures of the project from start to finish.
If you like the natural color of the wood, you don't have to paint it, only protect it with a poly clear coat. This bench is also perfect for putting plants on top or just as garden decor.
Hope you enjoyed this week's project; until next one!

Production delay! :(
SRT just called and said there is a production delay on the SRT8's. It has pushed off the start of the SRT Performance Tour and they don't have a "definite" answer on when they'll be ready.
This supports all the folks here with them on order, but none moved into actual build status.
Milous can probably confirm or deny this, but that is what SRT told me this morning.
Re: Production delay! :(
Re: Production delay! :(
A little information from them would go a long way... Just give us some information about what is going on over there!
Re: Production delay! :(
From a business aspect, it doesn't benefit anyone to disclose the delay. It could be a worker death on the assembly line all the way up to a faulty lifter in production. There is no way releasing that information will help anyone any more than saying "there is a delay"
Just my .02.
Re: Production delay! :(
Thanks for the info. Who knew the SRT Tour would be able to provide us with such valuable insight!! :D I'm glad you had made that connection earlier on!
That is a real shame, I wonder what it could be. I wonder if WE are the cause of this "delay" by somehow complaining too much about a trumpet exhaust or high $$$ or overpriced options or something like that... I'd feel bad, personally, then again it's reality and we are just calling them on it. If I screwed up at work I would expect to be called on it too. That is life. That is wall street even.
I'm glad we at least have some kind of update, and can stop stressing about this so much now perhaps. But it just seems like they don't have things together over there, making me question the viability of this Jeep and bigger, this brand. I don't recall any issues last go-around (5 years ago now?) when they originally launched it, so hopefully this isn't a sign of some future curse.
Then again, I still believe deep down inside that this is all a big charade and they are just trying to get the public salivating more, and chomping at the bit, kind of like Apple does with their iPhone launches.. :D
Re: Production delay! :(
ya, but they could give us an estimate and nature of the delay... days, weeks, years... mechanical, parts, personal issues. With no view of the horizon they will lose customers.
Re: Production delay! :(
Typically, you wouldn't have any of this information and you only hear what they officially release.
Which to my knowledge is that they weren't supposed to start shipping to the end of August or early September. Right?
On the other note about changes from feedback here, that is GREAT if that were actually the case. Way better than having them hit the streets and then hearing the complaints, right? There's no way to fix that, other than a model refresh which is a worse sign of a bad design.
I believe it has to do with some sort of design change, part change or supply issue that has created this delay.
Again, this delay is only a delay from the information that we've been leaked. Not something that was EVER official from ChryCo/Fiat.
Re: Production delay! :(
Delay or not I'm sure the people who ordered will receive theirs around the same delivery date that was originally thought of (wasn't officially released) but I mean whatever time frame they were on before probably hasn't changed much. Weren't they planning on storing some of the SRT right when they were done then shipping around a specific time so all dealers get theirs around the same time. I'm guessing people will still gets theirs on time. My guess is early September.
Re: Production delay! :(
Yeah, really there is no delay, it's just they tricked Milous into leaking it out sooner than it was ready. :D
Re: Production delay! :(
Re: Production delay! :(
And my guy told me about 2 weeks afo that the 29th was first shipment [for that dealership at least], and would receive them 1st week of August (they're in MI).
Re: Production delay! :(
Milous, can I meet you up there and we'll start building them ourselves? Is anyone else worried that all these mixups, date changes and pricing issues will be reflected in the overall build quality in these particular Jeeps?

(CNSNews.com) – GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday said his mother, who ran for the Senate, would say, "Why should women have any less say than men in the great decisions facing our nation?"
Speaking at the 2012 Republican national convention in Tampa, Fla., he said, "My mom and dad gave us kids the greatest gift of all – the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be and much less about what we would do. Unconditional love is a gift that Ann and I tried to pass on to our sons and now our grandchildren.
"All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. You know, if every child could drift asleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family and God's love, this world would be a far more gentle and better place," Romney said.
"My mom and dad were married for 64 years, and if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist because every day, Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died. She went looking for him, because that morning there was no rose. My mom and dad were true partners – a life lesson that shaped me by every day example," he said.
"When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I could still see her saying in her beautiful voice, 'Why should women have any less say than men in the great decisions facing our nation?'" Romney said.
"Don't you wish she could have been here at this convention and heard leaders like Governor Mary Fallon, Governor Nikki Haley, Governor Susana Martinez, Senator Kelly Ayotte, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice?" he added.

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley has lied, obfuscated and evaded on any number of issues since she burst on the statewide scene in South Carolina two years ago.
Don't believe us? Click here for a refresher … (and then click here to see the results of all that dishonesty).
One area where Haley is generally presumed to be telling the truth, however, relates to questions about her faith. Sure, there have been a few challenges to Haley's "conversion story," but by and large most people accept the Gospel according to Nikki.
Having said that, will an investigation into ongoing financial irregularities at the Sikh temple where Haley's family worships change that perception? Particularly as it invites additional scrutiny of Haley's alleged role as the temple's former bookkeeper?
The fact that you're reading this article would seem to indicate that the answer to that question is "yes." And while we're obviously much more concerned with Haley's alleged proximity to the temple's financial dealings, it's worth taking a quick look at how Haley's public comments regarding her faith have evolved over the years.
According to Haley, she grew up as a practicing Sikh but converted to the Christian faith when she married her husband Michael in 1996. She only occasionally visits the Sikh Temple – and that's purely out of respect for her parents.
(Here are some pictures of Haley attending a wedding at the temple last year).
In April 2010, Haley's website addressed her faith as follows:
Question: Is Nikki a Christian?
Truth: Nikki is a Christian. In her words: 'I believe in the power and grace of Almighty God. I know, and have truly experienced, that with Him all things are possible. I have looked to Him for leadership throughout my career and will continue to do so as governor."
In June 2010, however, the wording on the website was changed to reflect a much stronger pro-Christian position.
Question: Is Nikki a Christian?
Truth: In Nikki's words: "My faith in Christ has a profound impact on my daily life and I look to Him for guidance with every decision I make. God has blessed my family in so many ways and my faith in the Lord gives me great strength on a daily basis. Being a Christian is not about words, but about living for Christ every day."
Why the edit?
"We are constantly changing our website," Haley's then-campaign manager (now chief of staff) Tim Pearson told a Christian news service seeking an explanation.
Pearson added the line about Haley attended Sikh services "once or twice a year in respect for her family."
In 2004, however, Haley and her family were attending both churches regularly.
"I was born and raised with the Sikh faith, my husband and I were married in the Methodist Church, our children have been baptized in the Methodist Church, and currently we attend both," Haley said at the time, neglecting to mention that she and her husband were also married in a Sikh ceremony.
A 2004 mailing also dances around the issue of Haley's faith.
"Nikki was proudly raised with her Indian traditions and her husband, Michael, was brought up in the Methodist faith," the mailing states. "Together they lovingly raise both of their children the way they were raised, appreciating the blessings of God, the values of family and respect for all people."
Take a look …
(Click to enlarge)
Pic: CBN
"Haley and the Sikh faith were an important part of her storyline … back in 2004," CBN's David Brody observed in 2010. "But today there are no Sikh references are on her website or campaign literature. And that website language has become more overtly Christian. When asked to specifically address why Sikh references were more overt in 2004 than in 2010, Pearson didn't provide us with an answer to that question."
Sikh or not, Haley's gubernatorial victory was celebrated in India – with many Punjabis urging her to come to her parents' homeland as soon as possible in order to "pay obeisance" at the holy Sikh temple of Harmandar Sahib.
For Sikhs, paying obeisance involves making a pilgrimage to the sanctum sanctorum of the "Golden Temple." Before paying obeisance in the temple, however, devotees must take a holy dip in the water pond of Temple at the marbled periphery – with the understanding that this holy dip washes away "all their bad deeds of previous births."
Is lying about her faith one of those "bad deeds?"
Based on the evidence currently available, it would appear as though the jury is out.
Of course as the Sikh Temple investigation expands- and as Haley keeps getting busted telling lie after lie after lie (after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie after lie) – expect the Gospel according to Nikki to come under more scrutiny.
Personally, we don't care if Haley's a Sikh or a Christian. She could worship the devil and howl at the moon for all we care. The question – as it always seems to be with Haley – is whether she's been honest about what she believes.

Stock markets fell sharply on Monday amid growing tensions over the EU's failure to resolve the Greek debt crisis.
European bank shares led the fallers, hours ahead of crucial talks that will help determine whether Greece receives €8bn (£6.96bn) of funds it needs to stave off default.
In London, the FTSE 100 index closed down 109 points at 5259, or 2%. Wall Street was down nearly 200 points or 1.7% at 11309 in mid morning trading.
The sell-off followed a weekend meeting in Wroclaw, Poland, where EU countries failed to come up with a consensus on how to prevent a Greek default. European leaders clashed with US treasury secretary Timothy Geithner, who told them to stop "loose talk" that was damaging the eurozone and bringing "catastrophic risk" to global financial markets.
Michael Hewson, market analyst at CMC Markets, said: "The lack of any headway at the Ecofin weekend meeting in Poland, along with a swift dismissal of advice from Geithner, merely serves to highlight the simmering tensions among European politicians as they try to balance the competing demands of political unpopularity at home against the need to reassure financial markets."
Shares in French bank Société Générale tumbled more than 6% in Paris, making SocGen the biggest faller among European banks. In London, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and Lloyds Banking Group all fell by more than 5%.
Investors are braced for another week of turbulence as the world's finance ministers and central bankers gather in Washington for the International Monetary Fund's annual meeting.
In Asia, markets were also bathed in red. While Japan's Nikkei was closed for a national holiday, Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 2.4% and markets in Taiwan, Seoul, Singapore, Shanghai and Jakarta were down more than 1%.
Oil prices also slipped, with Brent crude falling below $112 a barrel. Gold, seen as a safe haven investment, strengthened. Spot gold hit $1,824 an ounce.
More austerity ahead?
Greek prime minister George Papandreou has scrapped plans to attend the IMF meeting and held an emergency cabinet meeting on Sunday to discuss additional austerity measures, ahead of a crucial conference call with EU, European Central Bank and IMF officials – the troika – on Monday. This call will take place at 5pm BST, having been pushed back from an earlier start time of 1pm.
The Greek government will continue its meeting after being told that the next tranche of the bailout, €8bn due at the end of the month, hinges on further belt-tightening.
"The timing of a Greek default remains in the hands of the troika and it is difficult to believe that they will decide to pull the plug at this stage because of the potential impact upon the other troubled sovereigns and the banking sector," said Gary Jenkins, head of fixed income at Evolution Securities.
"That said, who knows what contingency plans they have prepared behind closed doors (although the fact that they have leaked like a sieve throughout the crisis suggests we would have heard about them if they had …) and on the day that all the ducks are lined up then that might be the day that support for Greece is withdrawn. However, comments from the German finance minister that 'membership in a monetary union is an opportunity, but also a heavy burden … the Greeks must decide whether they want to bear this burden' might suggest that the endgame is nigh."
Elsewhere, credit ratings agency Moody's is expected to announce within a month whether it plans to downgrade Italy's Aa2 rating, a move that could escalate the European debt crisis, although Standard & Poor's already rates the country two notches lower at A+.

text: Family band The Duttons still going strong By Bill Lynch April 11, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo The family that plays together, stays together -- and eventually goes into business together, buys a couple of theaters and a hotel. After 20 years performing together, The Duttons are still going strong. Pictured are five of the seven performing Dutton children (from left): Timothy, Amy, Jonathan, Abigail and Benjamin. WANT TO GO?Charleston Community Music presents The DuttonsWHERE: Municipal AuditoriumWHEN: 3 p.m. April 14TICKETS: Adults $35, students $10, youth under 18 $5INFO: 304-744-1400 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Not everybody gets into music because they're looking for fame and fortune. The Duttons, a Branson, Mo., family variety act, got into music because their parents made them.The band's mom, company CEO and bass player Sheila Dutton, said, "We started our children out on music because we wanted to teach them discipline. We didn't mean to be professional musicians."It just kind of worked out that way. The seven- to nine-member ensemble has toured the United States dozens of times, played in every state and through much of Canada. They've also toured Europe four times and placed in the top 10 on "America's Got Talent" in 2007.The Duttons perform at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Municipal Auditorium.After 20 years, the proud matriarch of this unlikely musical family still sounds a little baffled by it all.Sheila Dutton said, "If you'd have asked me in high school what I had the least ability in, I'd have told you music." Dutton hadn't intended to get into music either. The only reason her kids even picked up instruments was because friends told how their kids were learning violin. It sounded like a good idea to the Duttons."They became quite proficient at it," she said.At ages 9 and 10, Timothy and Jonathan Dutton auditioned to play solos for the local symphony. They were featured in a performance. A week later, a musician in the audience tracked down the Duttons. He told Dutton that he used to be a classical violinist, but he wanted to teach their kids some bluegrass.Dutton laughed, then asked, "What's bluegrass?"He explained and the Duttons agreed to let him tutor their children. "He didn't ask for any money."A week later, he brought a banjo and a mandolin and the kids began to play them, as well as the violins. Dutton said that somewhere during those weeks they discovered their eldest daughter, Amy, had perfect pitch.Everything happened pretty fast after that. "People started asking them to play for them," Sheila Dutton said.A vague band began to form around the kids, but it was incomplete."They decided that, if they were going to have a real band, they needed a guitar player," she said. "My husband [Dean] played guitar when he was a teenager. So they talked him into getting out his guitar and playing with them."Then they decided they needed someone to play bass."I said no way," she laughed, but she did it anyway.All together, they played shows here and there as a hobby, and then they got booked to play a couple of shows in Europe. While in France, they were featured on a television show and later on a 13-country television network while in Italy."The TV station in Rome wanted a video from us," she said. "We told them we didn't have one. We were just a family out having fun."They made a small music video that took off, and suddenly their little tour was a very big tour."We thought we'd just take a semester off and have a great time with the family," Dutton recalled.But the bookings didn't stop and a single semester off turned into 10 years of touring. They still tour, although after 20 years, with the kids all grown up and with kids of their own, they've cut back on the number of dates on the road."We still love to travel," she said, "but it's hard to do that with 23 grandkids."Instead, The Duttons divide most of the year between their theater and hotel in Branson and their theater in Phoenix..Their children help run the business."They've all kind of fallen into areas that interested them," she said, then laughed. It was a good thing."My husband and I hope to retire one of these days."Reach Bill Lynch at email@example.com or 304-348-5195.

|Check-in before
great location...apartment can fit up to 9 person. enjoy our stay there
The place was DISGUSTING. VERY DIRTY, HAIRS EVERYWHERE in the toilet, kitchen is VERY MESSY, did not clean well before check and even after check in. My family arrived and it's still dirty and when the cleaner arrived, THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE BED SHEETS THAT WERE USED FROM THE PREVIOUS GUESTS. I Wonder how many guests had slept on the same sheets. And it smells already. My family can attest to this cause they arrive early right after the previous guests checked out and left their things in the room to eat while the cleaner was still cleaning the room. And when they came back from lunch, It was still the same bed sheets and the place is still very dirty. And Kitty is no where to be found anymore. She just showed up herself again when she was demanding more money from my family.
The hosts does not act like a host at all. Kitty fought with my family and even shouted at them. She forced to take extra money from my mom and even tried to get my mom's wallet to take the money. She's very disrespectful instead of solving problems with her guests. Kitty just stopped fighting with my mom when my mom told her that she will call the police to settle it. For everyone to know, RENTING THIS APARTMENT IS ILLEGAL AND HAS NO PERMIT in Hong Kong. That's why Kitty was afraid with the police. My family was treated badly and they were extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with the stay.
I will discourage everyone from booking in this place. She will charge you extra to get more money from her guests. And will hide your bag and not give it to you unless you pay her. And note, the disagreement happened outside the room with her shouting and fighting with her guests. It was NEVER HEART WARMING and the place is a MESS and FILTHY. Plus, a very DISRESPECTFUL and RUDE host. So don't book on this place. It's not worth the money at all. Book somewhere else.
Will is a great host . He always help you out and makes your stay comfortable. I enjoyed staying at his apartment. close to yau ma tei mrt, very convenience to go around the town. The mrt st 5ation can be reach in about 5 mins. and there are lots of shop and restaurant nearby.
The host, Kitty is very nice person. The location also very good and convenient. Downstairs is famous Ladies Market which can enjoy eating and shopping. MTR station and bus station can reached easily in few minutes time. The house are small but full with everything we needed and feel comfort. I will recommend to my friends whose wanna visit Hong Kong. Thanks Kitty.
We had a wonderful time on our 4 days-stay in Hong Kong. Although I haven't seen Kitty personally, his son William was accommodating enough to guide us on the things we need to know on their apartment. The apartment is exactly what they presented here in their picture with a few modifications but just to make their place more cozy and relaxing. What I like about the place is its strategic location to the city. MTR is just a few blocks away which we find very convenient. Not to forget that the apartment is also just right below the Ladies Market which is a good plus. For us who likes electronics and anime-related stuff, the area is really awesome as they are also just walks away from these stores.
First , many thanks to kitty n her son William. They help us a lot when we arrived hong kong. Bring we use to try nice hong kong style tea, food. The place we stay was clean and near the ladies market. Just get down from apartment , there was many tasty food . We love it n enjod stay at kitty apartment. Thanks kitty n William .
It's very convenient to stay at this apartment.
5-10 mins walk to Yao Ma Tei and Mongkok Mtr station.
Downstair is ladies street and near to the dim sum restaurant.
The most important is Kitty and William are very helpful:)
Will come back again^^
Kitty and her son, Wai was a good host Upon arrival helped us with the luggages to the Apartment. The location of the apartment is really good coz its right smack at the end of Ladies Market, you can feel vibrant local ambiance. It is really economical to take Airport Shuttle (A21) and stop at Sino Centre Stop No. 8.. Kitty was very good to even help us to book the MPV Taxi at very last minute. I would recommend this website to others.
First of all thanks Kitty and William for the wonderful hospitality.. The unit is located in a very strategic place... We gain advantage to move around very easily and conviniently.. just 2 min walk from Yau Ma Tei MTR station, 8 min walk from Mong Kok MTR, the airport bus is just 4min walk away..
If you like Siu Ba, mini bus, it's located behind the unit.. Just right opposite there is a great Dim Sum restaurant with great deal... food is great...
Besides that the noise level is fairly low due to it's at the other end of Ladies Market...
Unit is clean with WIFI provided...
Overall my friends and I had an awesome time... would recommend to everyone...
Kitty is a super host, the service was super and she is very friendly. her son william is the best hsot you can imagine, we went out a lot and had a great time! i can recommend this host and the apartment for a perfect stay in Hongkong!!! thanks to kitty!!

NFL: IUP grad Haslett gets free rein of Redskins defense
ASHBURN, Va. — Mike Shanahan was fired. Jim Haslett stayed on.
When the Washington Redskins ousted Shanahan after last year's 3-13 season, they didn't exactly clean house. Several assistants from the old regime were retained under new coach Jay Gruden, with the organization adopting the mindset that the problem started at the top — and pretty much ended there.
None of the holdovers is more intriguing than Haslett, the former IUP All-American defensive end. As the Redskins' defensive coordinator last season, Haslett was in charge of a unit that often had issues. In his four seasons, the Redskins have ranked 22nd, 25th, 26th and 31st in offensive points allowed.
But there were mitigating circumstances. The Redskins were trying to rebuild from the Jim Zorn era those first two years, and Haslett in particular had the challenge of installing a 3-4 scheme with players left over from the previous coaches' 4-3.
More than anything, however, was the feeling that Haslett was never really in full charge of the defense. He was working under Shanahan's infamous micromanagement style, subject to the head coach's whims on which players to play and which calls to make during a game.
So, when asked to make the case for Haslett staying on, his players usually hit the same theme.
"It was a different regime," defensive tackle Barry Cofield said Thursday. "He's going to have a different level of responsibility. He's going to have more flexibility to call his defense, and I'm willing to bet that he sold that plan to the bosses. And they agreed and they liked what they heard."
A local note on this story: Haslett's son, Chase, has followed in his father's footsteps by joining the IUP football team. A quarterback, Chase Haslett transferred to IUP over the summer after spending three years at Illinois. The Crimson Hawks hold their first practice of preseason camp today, and the younger Haslett will be in the mix for the starting QB job.
Gruden, a rookie NFL head coach, has made it clear that he will give his assistants plenty of breathing space. He plans to focus primarily on the offense and give Haslett and special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica the kind of leeway unimaginable under Shanahan.
"I just want to make sure that the guys that I hired are allowed to do their job," Gruden said, "and that's coaching."
Haslett is measured in his comments when talking about the transition from Shanahan to Gruden.
"The bottom line is we won three games last year, we won 10 the year before, and the defense helped them win 10 games with a bunch of turnovers and all that," Haslett said. "Last year we won three, and I don't think the offense, defense or special teams played very well."
The closest hint Haslett gives to his new autonomy comes when he is asked how he will handle his players this year.
"We're going to try to let them use their abilities a little bit more than I thought that I did in the past. ... I want to make sure those guys are used properly," he said.
More reasons to keep Haslett: experience and comfort. He's been through the NFL head coach routine with the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Rams, making him an invaluable resource for Gruden. Also, the pair have a working history in which the tables were turned: Head coach Haslett hired Gruden to be the offensive coordinator for the 2009 Florida Tuskers of the now-defunct UFL.
"We get along very well and I have a lot of respect for what he's done, not only working with him," Gruden said. "I think the big thing with him was just trying to get him a few more horses, trying to get him some better personnel. I've said a lot that it's sometimes not so much about the plays but about the players, and we're trying to do a better job of getting better players in here to help fit his scheme and what he wants to do."
The Redskins beefed up the pass rush by signing Jason Hatcher and drafting Trent Murphy. Veteran safety Ryan Clark was added to bring smarts and leadership to the secondary. Gruden's training camp was much more physical than Shanahan's, which Haslett believes will help improve the poor tackling from last year.
With those additions, and with more say in how the defense runs, the success or failure of this year's defense will squarely rest on Haslett.
"There was blame put on the head man, there was injuries, we didn't have this, we didn't have that," Cofield said. "I think (this year) we have all the pieces, so we've got to point the thumb (at ourselves) this year not do any finger-pointing."

What this matrix attempts to highlight is that there really are different responsibilities for various CM roles. Of course, for many CM'ers, several of the CM roles are actually combined together to form their CM responsibilities. For example, a Build Engineer may also perform release packaging and migration responsibilities, or a CM Tool Administrator may also perform build responsibilities. To illustrate this, below is a diagram that shows where specific CM Roles live in the project lifecycle based on where their responsibilities may live.

Hi everyone!
I've been having a SUPER time here in Coquitlam, BC, Canada! I snuck out to do a little sight seeing with my new pal, Monty Moose! Actually, Mrs. Nielsen was kind enough to share me for a bit with Mrs. Boekhout and her Grade 2 class. Monty Moose, Woody Beaver, and Timber Wolf have ALL been to Australia! As a matter of fact, Haida Bear is on an extended exchange trip with Wilbur Wombat right now!
It seems that Australia is where Mrs. B's "Travelling Stuffies" first started their adventures… Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia! Mrs. B. even named her stuffie website, "The CanOz Connection"! Of course Monty is such a seasoned traveller now, that he has his own website too! MontyMoose.com He even has a FACEBOOK account with tons of other traveling moose stuffies! I told him that he should think about doing a blog like mine! He says he is SO behind in his photos that Mrs. B. wouldn't DARE start something new! (I'm waiting to see his photo with a BLUE warrior in SCOTLAND!)
Anyway, I've had a super time learning about the Pacific Northwest Coast Temperate Rainforest area. (Yes… it sure does rain a lot, but it doesn't get too hot or too cold.) I even helped out with a "Tracking Trash" activity where the kids wrote down all the garbage they picked up around the school for Earth Week. I felt good about "giving back" to the Earth! These Canadian kids are really nice and they try hard to help out "Mother Nature". It was fun in the classroom because they have lots of pets and plants and STUFFIES!!!
Hope you enjoy the little slideshow we put together of my visit!
I am having a GREAT time, but I miss my home too!

Easton Courier - Himes Makes Easton Visit
Democratic hopeful Jim Himes paid a visit to Easton over the weekend to talk about his candidacy and give the dozen or so residents who attended the informal discussion an opportunity to ask questions about his political positions.
Himes, a Greenwich resident, is challenging incumbent Christopher Shays (R-4th) for his seat in Congress. He met with residents Saturday afternoon at Town Hall. Easton is part of the 4th Congressional District.
According to Himes, the biggest issue facing the district is the need to improve and enhance the region's transportation grid.
"Our transportation system is strangling the economy," he said. If elected, he said he would actively seek a seat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Himes pointed out that Shays does not serve on the committee and said that MetroNorth's New Haven rail line needs to be upgraded and improved.
In addition, Himes said he supports the proposed New York Harbor Rail Tunnel as a way to remove much of the commercial trucks that now travel and frequently clog the area's roadways.
The project would create a rail tunnel for freight under New York Harbor, connecting northeastern New Jersey and Long Island, including parts of southern and eastern New York City beyond Manhattan.
And, he said, as the district's representative, he would aggressively seek to bring in "federal expertise and resources" to Bridgeport, to assist the city's revitalization efforts - helping to boost the region's economy.
"You want a Congressman who is in the majority and who can go into the Speaker's office and say, I need this,'" Himes said. The Democratic Party currently holds a majority of seats in both the United States House and Senate.
Democratic primary
Saturday's stop in Easton was part of Himes' "Listening and Leading Tour," where the candidate has been visiting all 17 towns in the district in 17 days.
The purpose of his tour: To listen to residents' concerns about issues in the upcoming election. Each session allows for a question and answer period as well, he said.
Himes, a Rhodes scholar and former Goldman Sachs vice president, is facing a primary challenge by fellow Greenwich resident Lee Whitnum. The two will face each other in the Democratic primary on Aug. 12. The winner will run against Shays in November.
Whitnum, however, is taking a different approach to her candidacy. Concentrating her efforts as the underdog in the primary, Whitnum is determined to engage Himes in debate, an invitation she said he has yet to accept.
The debate, Whitnum said, would allow residents to see her realistic perspective versus what she calls Himes' "Wall Street type."
Whitnum, who was able to gather the 2,459 signatures required to force a primary runoff, believes her position as the "people's candidate" will help her in the vote on Aug. 12.
Other issues
Another topic of discussion during Himes' talk was the need to protect the environment.
Himes said he is in favor of a "cap-and-trade system" for carbon-based fuels such as oil and gas.
"We all agree we need alternatives," he said of oil and gas, adding that the country approached the problem of acid rain in a similar way, with a cap-and-trade system for sulfur dioxide.
"And you never hear about acid rain anymore," he said.
A proposed bill now under consideration in the U.S. Senate, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, would put such a cap-and-trade system in place for carbon-based fuels.
If passed by Congress, the act would mandate economy-wide reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions.
Himes, however, said while the federal government should take a lead role in protecting the environment, it should be the private sector's role to innovate and implement viable alternative energy sources.
"The massive private sector we have will solve this problem for us," he said.
After leaving his position at Goldman Sachs, he took on an executive role at Enterprise Community Partners, a nonprofit organization that addresses the issues of urban poverty.
While there, he oversaw the construction of thousands of affordable housing units in the greater New York City area and other locations throughout the Northeast, often using "green technologies" to achieve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs.
Himes was asked to state his position on other issues facing the nation.
The candidate said Americans should begin pulling troops out of Iraq to force the country's Sunni and Shia factions to come to some sort of political agreement regarding power sharing.
Once the Iraqis realize that American troops will begin to draw down their forces - leading to the Iraqis themselves taking on the bulk of the security operations there - that should prompt the two factions to sit down and make compromises with one another, Himes said.
He also said the nation's current health care system needs to be overhauled, allowing it to be "affordable," "portable" and "sustainable."
"And everybody needs to have access," he said.

Star Mart Swearing and disrespectful to customers and will not return any faulty products Surrey BC
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Star-Mart Convenience slanders their customers, swears at them and they will do it.. over $3.00 on a deffective product they sell.
Do not shop or support Star-Mart Convienience store. They are a terrible business who treat customers with slander and disrespect. Upon buying a defective item from the store, (from which they have many apparently) they are not willing to return or exchange the item. They tell customers that it's 'their fault' and that they have nothing to do with it.
I had purchased a food item from them, and upon getting home, I see that the the food item was not packaged correctly. I went back to the establishment, which is five minutes from my home and they refused to exchange the product. I explained that it was not my fault that they should deal with their suppliers and that as a customer a business should treat their customers with resepct by offering them an exchange.. At this point, I didn't even want my money back, I just wanted to exchange it.
They began yelling at me, the customer, that I was at fault and they would not exchange it. I then stated that I was not leaving then until I received my money back, as they price I paid for this product was for the convenience and this has become a stressful situation. They still refused, I then said I was going to call the cops and pulled out my phone.
The manager then said wait, and called her manager.. While I waited, I heard her tell the manager that "this f**king indian wants his money back". I still didn't say anytihng. Then she asked me how much the product was, I said It was $3.00.
She slammed the money on the counter and told me.. "Here's your f**king money, take it and get the f**k out of my store and I never want to see your f**king face again. If you were so rich, you woudln't need $3.00"
I called them the most evilest people I have ever met and they were bad people and I would never shop there again.
This is not how you treat customers, this is not how you treat returning customers..
No one deserves to be slandered, no one deserves to be put down. I hope their business shuts down and no one ever has to go through this experience with them ever again.

Hey kids, it's the new Zam Wesell! This one has two heads, two scarves, two guns, and, presumably, a large boat in which to transport them. How is she? Read on!
Featuring a new head sculpt and an updated Resurgence of the Jedi body now with a soft goods skirt and Stormtrooper belt, Death Star Escape Luke Skywalker is a worthy interpretation of the moisture farmboy. The commlink is detachable, the soft goods allow a little more poseability, and it's certainly one of the better ANH Luke head sculpts yet. There will be a robust debate on whether this is a better likeness over the Resurgence figure, but it ultimately falls on the eye of the beholder because both are pretty well executed.
The VC15 Clone Trooper is updated with yellow deco and an additional blaster rifle to transform into a 212th Battalion Clone Trooper that will adequately army build and re-enforce your Battle of Utapau diorama. The removable helmet gives this version the advantage over the 2006 Saga Collection version, although that yellowing discoloration on the helmet isn't battle damage. It's just the yellowing and discoloration of cheaper grade plastics.
Could Saga Legends really be on the way out? (Of course not.) Is Darth Vader's TIE Fighter due for an update? And did you miss Clone Trooper Jesse yet? All this and ramblings on Vintage Wave 5 await you in this week's Q&A!
A repaint of 2007's 30th Anniversary Collection figure but with the holes from the flame attachment filled in, the Vintage Super Battle Droid includes some Geonosian dust deco on the feet but unfortunately lacking the ankle articulation of the recent Target exclusive 2 pack version. A Hasbro "Greatest Hit" that looks great carded Vintage style, but you can do better and cheaper elsewhere if you want to open and army build.
The new Vintage Collection Senate Guard uses a few parts from 2005's version and even includes a nice nod to the Clone Wars television series in the form of the longer left shoulder armor. The helmet isn't actually removable, but there is a separate sculpted "head" underneath that actually acts as more of a frontal facade for the helmet. We do like the material used for the outer cloak, which has a nice drape when posing the figure in action type poses.
Have you heard all those rumors that Star Wars is floundering as a toy line? All lies. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that in 2010-- a non-movie, non-major release year, that our favorite space brand brought in a whopping $510,000,000. This includes both Hasbro and LEGO products.
Here's the latest newsletter from our sponsors at TOY PALACE featuring the latest products added for pre-order as well as IN STOCK items, including awesome Star Wars collectibles from Gentle Giant and Kotobukiya!
It's like Hasbro managed to shrink Samuel L. Jackson's noggin into 3.75 inch scale because the head sculpt on this figure is just amazing from every angle. A bulky soft goods cloak is a slight draw back, but we must admit it's slightly better than the Hershey's chocolate syrup shell of the Episode I figure's sculpted cloak pictured on the cardback. The figure also comes with a lightsaber and hilt that attaches to the belt and standard ball jointed arms, knees, and waist. A great figure deserving of Vintage premium status.
Early this week, Brian's Toys received Vintage-Style Wave 4 at their warehouse. And a few days later, they just got Vintage-Style Wave 5 It's figure overload we're telling you! Help them out by purchasing a few sets or figures.
Hi - here is a big update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a ton of exciting new preorders from Hasbro and oth
If you're a fan of comedy and/or podcasts, you're no doubt a fan of the Pod F. Tompkast which is put out by America's friend/Mr. Show alum/DAG actor/all-around great standup Paul F. Tompkins. He's just done a fantastic Star Wars sketch.
Today in why-are-they-using-leafblowers-outside (and Figure of the Day) is the Commando Droid! This is the first, basic carded release from 2009. He folds up real small and has exceptional articulation. You should buy a few-- read on!
From 2009 (not the 2010 release) it's Luke Skywalker! This was another attempt at Death Star II Jedi Luke which, it seems, has been historically tough to do well. (Hasbro more or less nailed it in 2010.) So how is this one? Read on!
This is one of those posts that no one in this hobby wants to make. Please read my review of Giovanni Lopergolo's Insight that I wrote for Father's Day last year, and consider purchasing the book. The proceeds from its sale benefit a foundation for his three sons.

Cats are spraying in back yard...smells really bad?
How can I keep any cats from spraying in my backyard? I don't want to hurt the cats, I just want to keep them from thinking of coming around.
Try tossing a few handfuls of mothballs on the bushes they're nailing
I thought I've read that somewhere and it would work!
I haven't tried anything yet.
What is bird shot?
You wouldn't do that would you ya big meanie
The little girl down the lane doesn't deserve to have her beloved pet killed because its marking its territory
You said you don't want to hurt the cat and just keep that attitude
Bird shot is what comes out of a shotgun :(:(:(
When stray cats keep coming into the yard and fighting with my cats, causing me vet bills: They have worn out their welcome and the little girl down the street had better keep her cat in its own territory.
Its not her fault your cat is such a pussy
Water hose with motion sensor.
Paintball gun, ask around if anyone has a multicoloured cat, and then tell them to keep it inside!
I have a small PETA approved trap.....I trap their little ass and call animal control.....
One cat we caught had a few weeks before attacked my 4 year old daughter....3 stitches in the eye lid.....
Last month, one of the cats we rescued had some serious damage...$628 later....she stays home a bit more often....
There is one tom cat left that I am trying to catch....this guy is without a doubt a bully.....fights will ALL of the other cats....
How do you catch cats? Do you put food or something in the trap?
I am needing a solution also. The neighborhood cats enjoy burying their stinky presents in my landscaping mulch. I have read on some other sites to put vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray the area. Also use cayenne pepper. I have not tried these yet. I saw the motion detected sprinkler but it was about $70!
If you know who owns the roaming cat you can ask them to be responsible and get their pet altered and keep it on their property. If this fails then shoot them and adopt the cat as your own.

News: Centegra Clinical Laboratories (CCL) opens to public and physician business
Centegra Health System announces the opening of Centegra Clinical Laboratories (CCL). The launch of CCL was planned as part of Centegra Health System's 10,000 square foot clinical laboratories expansion that started in June 2010 in response to the increased demand for medical laboratory testing.
"Population growth is contributing to a greater need for medical laboratories, and there is a stronger emphasis on preventative medicine, early detection and patient responsibility," said Rebecca Rockwood, laboratory director at Centegra Health System. "The consistent and rapid growth of new medical technologies such as genetic testing is another reason we added CCL to the full continuum of health care services offered at Centegra."
Patients in the region will benefit from walk-in laboratory locations at Centegra's Crystal Lake Medical Arts building, 360 Station Drive in Crystal Lake and at Centegra Health Center-Huntley, 10350 Haligus Road in Huntley. CCL's high-quality services will align with Centegra Health System's goal to bring outstanding health care to greater McHenry and Kane counties. CCL will provide a timely courier service, hospital-quality testing, rapid electronic results, competitive pricing and excellent customer service. Patients may benefit from lower out-of-pocket expenses by having lab work performed at these locations.
CCL is an approved provider for Medicare and other major insurance carriers including the following:
- Aetna HMO, POS, PPO
- Cigna HMO, POS, PPO
- Corvel PPO, WC
- Humana HMO, POS, PPO
- PHCS/Multiplan PPO, WC
- United Healthcare HMO, POS, PPO
"We are excited to offer Centegra Clinical Laboratories as a high-quality, health system-based alternative to other lab services in the area," Rockwood said. "We take great pride in the knowledge that patients and physicians in the region trust the excellent services Centegra provides. The reference laboratory is another way we are expanding our services to meet the community's needs."
For more information about Centegra Clinical Laboratories, call 815-759-4807.

A lugubrious, elongated study of forced prostitution and political lechery, Mikael Marcimain's Call Girl loosely depicts the events that led to Sweden's so-called Geijer scandal and the arrest of brothel madam Doris Hopp in the 1970s. Told largely from the point of view of a fictional 14-year-old foster child turned escort, Iris (Sofia Karemyr), the film moves as a suitably seedy, familiarly plotted procedural that ambitiously encompasses Iris's tutelage by Dagmar Glans (Pernilla August), a fictional variation on Hopp, the investigation into the prostitution by vice detective John Sandberg (Simon J. Berger), and the cover-up, administered by a shadowy bureaucrat played by David Dencik.
Dencik, of course, is most well known for his outstanding performance as Toby Esterhase in Tomas Alfredson's sensational reimagining of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Call Girl coincidentally shares that film's atmosphere of engulfing dread. Stylistically, Marcimain keeps things seductively kinetic with plenty of frame-within-frames and a few expertly timed zooms and tracking shots, and the overall design of the film recalls a sleazy, decisively '70s nostalgia. Shot on 35mm, the very look of the film exudes a dulled luridness, mirroring the film's view of the perverse indulgences of politicians as being a maintained, boring business.
Aesthetically, Call Girl is consistently engaging and fluid, but never particularly innovative or surprising, and the narrative is hardly different in its unremarkable competence. Marcimain, working from Marietta von Hausswolff von Baumgarten's script, places Iris and her cousin, Sonja (Josefin Asplund), at the center of the drama, but tone, atmosphere, and the sheer breadth of the narrative suffocate the characters, making them little more than used and abused victims of Dagmar and her beefy associate, Glenn (Sven Nordin). In fact, even Dagmar and Glenn hardly register underneath the veil of Marcimain's moody throwback stylization, and arguably only Berger's Sandberg fully emerges as a realized character, perhaps inevitably, as he's the only person who's invariably fighting against the conspiracy.
At 140 minutes, Call Girl is oddly abrupt and languid in its storytelling, a truth made doubly tragic considering the fact that the film begins with some impactful thematic curiosities. At one point early on, Dencik's quiet manipulator arrives at his office as another meeting is being held, wherein officials are reconsidering the parameters of sexual crimes and their punishments. Not surprisingly, the updated parameters are more forgiving of men, and here, the film makes a clear delineation between the male-dominated world of politics and the world of prostitution that depends on women and disputably puts them in a seat of power. It's a promising idea, but Marcimain connects more with the defeatism of reality and history, and his film becomes yet another involving yet uninspired treatise on the inherent evils of government. Over three decades and endless reformations after the elusive events, Call Girl is neither outraged nor bitterly comical, content enough to both reiterate the corruptive nature of power and stew in its own mundane hopelessness.
Film Comment Selects runs from February 18—28.
