Go for a swim with Buddha as your lifeguard. The two-mile beach on Ko Samui, in Thailand, is supervised by a 12-meter-tall golden statue. It's not an ancient relic—this statue is only about 40 years old, and is the centerpiece of a meditation center/temple. Be sure to tear yourself away from the beach long enough to explore the temple grounds.
Despite the holy theme, many people flock to the beach for the nightlife. Open-air bars spill out on to the sand, and live music is always bumping. Come on Sundays for the week's biggest party: a music festival held by Secret Garden Bungalows.
Despite the parties elsewhere on the island, people still like bringing their kids to Big Buddha Beach, as the water is shallow and fairly calm, making it a pretty safe spot for swimming.
Where is it? Ko Samui (North), Thailand
Where to stay? Bacaya Villa, your very own private oasis with a terrace, garden, and infinity pool overlooking the beach. Get a whole group together though, as the villa starts at $500.
What else should I know? You can get to the island by plane (Ko Samui Airport) or boat.
Who's it for? Partiers, beach-lovers, Buddha-appreciators.

When 'Choice' Is Not Necessarily Good
There was a time in New York City when parents had no choice in which junior high school (that's what they called them in the good old days) or high school their son or daughter would attend. Actually, if the child was extremely bright or talented, there were a few other choices other than the "zoned" school – Brooklyn Tech, Stuyvesant, and some vocational high schools – but by and large, everybody just went to his or her zoned school with all the other kids from the neighborhood. There is something to be said for that. Nobody traveled long hours getting to and from school, the sports and clubs program flourished and kids from the disparate neighborhoods of Rockaway (even then) finally met and studied together and got to know each other a lot better. Then, the city's Board of Education decided to end vocational high schools because there were too many minority students and therefore "racist." The board also decided that kids shouldn't be locked into their zoned school and attempted to make 'theme schools" that would draw kids from all over the city. Beach Channel was one of those schools, with an Oceanography major that drew kids from all over the city. Because the brighter students had someplace else to go, the zoned schools began to be the last haven for those who could not go anywhere else. The large zoned schools began to fail because only the weakest and most needy students remained. Now, the Department of Education wants to do the same thing with middle schools. It wants people to have more choice, and it wants to do away with the entire concept of zoned schools. Students can apply for one middle school. If they don't get that choice, then the DOE will send them anywhere there is space. That is especially grating to the Belle Harbor parents whose children now attend PS 114. Many of them want the Scholars' Academy as their middle and high school. If they apply to that school, however, and do not make the grade, then there is no assurance that the child will be able to remain at PS 114 for middle school, and may be shipped to Far Rockaway or the mainland for middle school. That is not the way it should be. Parents of young children look to buy a home in a neighborhood where there is a good school. Belle Harbor is one of those neighborhoods, and houses on the west side of Beach 121 Street (in the PS 114 zone) typically sell for tens of thousands of dollars more than houses on the east side of the street (which are zoned for the now-closed PS 225). We should go back to the concept of neighborhood schools. Children in the zone should have the absolute right to apply for magnet programs, but should be allowed to remain in that neighborhood school no matter what. The DOE plan will destabilize both schools and the communities they serve. That is not what the city government should be doing.

Electrocardiographic Body Surface Mapping
Electrocardiographic (ECG) body surface mapping (BSM) is an electrocardiographic technique that uses multiple (generally 80 or more) electrocardiography leads to detect cardiac electrical activity. The use of multiple leads may result in improved diagnostic accuracy of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS), compared to the standard 12-lead ECG. No BSM ECG devices with 80 or more leads are currently commercially available in the United States.
Electrocardiographic BSM consists of an 80-lead disposable electrode array in the form of a vest and includes a conducting gel that is applied to the patient's chest and back. The vest can be affixed to the patient in less than 5 minutes. This system displays clinical data in 3 forms; a colorimetric 3-D torso image, an 80-lead single beat view, and the 12-lead ECG. The colorimetric torso images are said to allow the practitioner to rapidly scan the heart for significant abnormalities.
Currently, in patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia, a standard 12-lead ECG is obtained. In the presence of ST segment elevation on the ECG, personnel are activated to respond in a timely manner to open a presumed coronary artery occlusion, either by mechanical means though balloon angioplasty, or medically through intravenous thrombolytic drugs. The 12-lead ECG has a specificity of 94%, leading to relatively few erroneous interventions. However, the sensitivity is about 50%. These patients may be further stratified by scoring systems and time-sensitive cardiac enzymes, which may require up to 24 hours of monitored observation.
BSM is being considered as a method to assist in the rapid identification of patients who would benefit from earlier coronary artery intervention than currently achieved utilizing current standard of care. The negative predictive value of the test, which has the potential to identify patients who do not require further evaluation with serial cardiac enzymes and clinical observation, is not currently receiving attention as a research topic.
In March 2002, the device PRIME ECG® (Verathon, Bothell, WA) was cleared for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the 510(k) process. FDA determined that the device was substantially equivalent to existing devices for use in recording of ECG signals on the body surface. As of July 2014, neither the PRIME ECG device nor its successor, the Heartscape™ 3D ECG System are being marketed in the United States.
POLICYElectrocardiographic body surface mapping is considered investigational for all indications including but not limited to acute coronary syndrome.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.

can opener...which do you have?
table top, manual, or electric
manual and the one on the bottom, but it's not used for cans much. I grew up with an electric and had one many years ago and it was just terrible, so we've gone thru a few manuals, the cheaper the better!
Electric and both of the manual ones, gotta have the bottle opener with a beer drinker in the house! Are you kidding me? LOL
The bottom one is a bottle opener but the pointy end pops holes in cans to pour liquids out of the cans.... awesome for evap milk, make a smaller hole and a large hole and it doesn't spill all over the place.
Quoting perezamberly:
A hand one. Never seen that first one. And how the heck do you use the last??? I thought that was a bottle opener!

Jeffrey D. Paduan received his Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography from Oregon State University (OSU) in December, 1987. While at OSU, he specialized in the analysis of data from field measurements in the upper ocean including data from subsurface temperature chains and current meters and surface anemometers and radiometers. His thesis dealt with the balances of heat, energy, and momentum in the upper ocean and the role played by horizontal advection in those balances. Since leaving OSU, Dr. Paduan has worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography analyzing Lagrangian data from surface drifters. He has served as manager of the Global Drifter Center at Scripps Institution whose function is to coordinate drifter construction and deployments for the WOCE/TOGA Surface Velocity Program which is a worldwide attempt to seed the oceans with surface drifters involving scientists from over a dozen countries. As of June 1991, he has been assistant, and now associate, professor of oceanography at the Naval Postgraduate School where he has continued work with surface drifters in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and in the California Current System as a principal investigator on two projects funded by the Office of Naval Research. He initiated a program using direction-finding (CODAR- type) HF radar systems around Monterey Bay to remotely measure coastal ocean surface currents out to distances of ~50 km. He helped to organize the Monterey Bay HF Radar Consortium, which brings together radar owners, operators, manufacturers, and scientists around the Bay to coordinate uses of the HF radar array. His focus has been on the dual goals of characterizing and improving HF radar performance and describing the dominant current processes in Monterey Bay. He served as principal investigator for the ICON project, which was a Monterey Bay area component of the National Ocean Partnership Program . Today, he is a PI on the NOAA/COTS Center for Integrated Marine Technolgoy program based at UC Santa Cruz (CIMT) and a PI on the state-funded Coastal Ocean Currents Monitoring Program (COCMP). Links to national efforts to produce real-time surface velocity mapping products, including the Monterey Bay systems, can be accessed at: Oceancurrents.US.

Gun-toting bikers stopped near Los Olivos
By NICK POWELL
A routine traffic stop ended with five suspected gang members under arrest March 17, after detectives in the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Gang Enforcement Unit reported finding concealed, semi-automatic handguns in the saddlebags of several motorcycles.
According to department spokespeople, detectives stopped two people who passed through a red light near the intersection of Highway 154 and Highway 101, and three fellow bikers pulled over to wait and observe. All were wearing insignia associated with the Vagos Motorcycle Club.
The club's San Luis Obispo chapter president, 46-year-old Kirk Koester, was in the detained group, along with his wife, Shannon Koester, 41, and three associates who hailed from Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo.
Four of their five weapons were properly registered, but none was being carried in accordance with the law, detectives said, noting that one firearm was loaded and two were stowed with ammunition nearby. Another gun was reported as unloaded with no nearby ammunition, but was stashed in a saddlebag that didn't lock—which a sheriff's spokesperson said was enough to deem the weapon immediately accessible and, therefore, illegally concealed.
All five suspects were taken into custody under suspicion of carrying illegally concealed weapons and participating in a criminal street gang, and they had all bailed out of jail by March 18. They're due to be arraigned in Santa Barbara Superior Court on April 16, according to the Santa Barbara County district attorney's office. Their weapons will be held until the case is adjudicated.
Law enforcement officials estimate that there are more than 600 Vagos Motorcycle Club members in the country and that the local chapter has at least a dozen members or associates.

Future Phoenix Pitcher Earning National Attention
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay softball recruit Lauren Danner (Kaukauna, Wis.) continues to prove why she is more than capable of playing at the Division I level for the Phoenix in the fall. Danner has been a driving force for the Kaukauna Ghosts, who rank No. 13 in the nation in the latest USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association High School Top 25.
The rankings are compiled by state representatives from across the country while taking into consideration the school's strength of schedule, quality of competition in the state or league and quality of players. Kaukauna entered the poll on April 7 at No. 21 and has consistently moved up.
In November, Donner signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Phoenix. Considered the state's premier pitcher, Donner and her Kaukauna Ghosts are undefeated this season (8-0) with its toughest competition being the weather.
Donner is wrapping up her high school career after a successful junior campaign which included being named to the Wisconsin Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association (WFSCA) All-State First Team and honored with the WFSCA Player of the Year award. The 2010 Appleton Post Crescent Softball Athlete of the Year was also an All-FVA First Team selection with 12 shutouts, averaging 8.24 Ks per game. Donner helped guide her team to the Division I Wisconsin State Championship title.

Make streusel first: Blend ½ cup butter with brown sugar and 1 cup flour, adding flour gradually. Mix until crumbs are the size you like. Add pecans if desired. Refrigerate mixture about 30 minutes.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line deep-dish 9-inch pie pan with pastry, crimping edges.
Make filling by combining granulated sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well. Gently mix with apple slices, then layer into piecrust.. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
Loosely cover pie with a tent of foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and add chilled streusel, gently pressing it down. Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, another 35 to 45 minutes or until done. If crust and streusel start to brown too much, cover with foil.

Art Market Revives in London
The turning point that Britain's ailing art market had been praying for seems to have arrived, at long last.
Following the incredible £65m sale of a Giacometti sculpture that set a new world record at Sotheby's (BID) auction house this week by becoming the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction in a space of eight minutes, analysts say the market has got its mojo back.
This week's series of sales, seen by many as a weather-vane of the state of the art market, have started with a bang. There had been some anxiety over the lack of sellers coming forward with high quality paintings and masterpieces, in the recession.
But today, Sotheby's said its average lot in their Impressionist and Modern art sale last night was £4,736,398 – the highest ever for a London sale. It included Rene Magritte's Le Beau Navire – one of the finest 1940s nudes ever to have appeared on the market which had been in the same private collection since 1977 – which fetched a healthy £3.7m, exceeding its upper estimated price.
Christie's this week reported that Picasso's Tête de Femme (Jacqueline) sold for £8.1m – more than double its highest estimate of £4m, while four of its other works sold for over £5m. The results, said Giovanna Bertazzoni, the head of the auction house's Impressionist and Modern art, showed that "demand is high" and that they could now "feed the appetite of these buyers by offering a greater supply than in recent months."
This could not have been said a few months ago; 2009 was the year the art market bubble finally burst – prices plunged, sellers got scared and the number of paintings up for auction dwindled dramatically. Until recently, auction houses were desperate for a supply of high quality works of art to sell, but few collectors were willing to let go of their Picassos, or Cezannes, or Matisses, at a time when the banking economy was collapsing, for fear of losing the their liquid assets.
Now, the sellers appear to be back, and experts see clear signs of recovery, although few can predict if auction houses will ever emulate the inflated prices of 2007 and '08.
Georgina Adam, market editor at The Arts Newspaper said she had discerned a distinct upturn. "I don't think the bust has turned to boom but I do think there's been a recovery. Sellers are coming back if you look at sales. This time last year, people didn't know how much they were worth but they now have a better idea of it," she said.
But Ms Adam added that prices were still down when compared to 2008, and that some collectors were also "distress selling."
Sotheby's – which sold just three paintings for over £10m last year – has placed an estimated value of more than £10m for three works in their sales of contemporary, Impressionist and Modern works, this week.
The auction house said it had seen the number of works for sale rise dramatically: in February 2008, there were 70 lots in the evenings contemporary sales, which last year shrunk to 27 for the same sales. This year, they have risen to 80 lots.
Returning market confidence came after the success of last November's sales, in which Sotheby's sold Andy Warhol's 200 One Dollar Bills for $43.7m – three times its highest estimate, which was $12m. The bidding started at $6m with the second bid raised dramatically to $12m.
Christie's too has seen buyers more than double: in last year's February sales of Impressionist and Modern works, they had 30 lots to sell; this time round they have 86 lots.
Last November's sales for both auction houses saw a 70 percent sell-through rate – 70 percent of all items on offer were sold – which gave those buying and those selling greater confidence for this year's sales.
Both auction houses agree there was too little supply, too much demand in the market, with not enough masterpieces coming though. The ones that were put on the market were pounced upon instantly.
Helena Newman, from Sotheby's said "What we saw last year was extraordinary demand for great quality masterpieces. The challenge was supplying for the demand."
Sellers were unwilling to consign their best paintings in such an unstable climate, because they did not want to put their earned money in the bank at a time when several were collapsing.

Apparently I've had an egg intolerance for a while, which may have progressed into a full blown allergy or may just be a severe intolerance-- I haven't been tested, so I'm not entirely sure. I've been having a lot of stomach problems for the last 2 years, and for one reason or another I never tried eliminating eggs until recently. I guess I figured since I had always ate a lot of eggs throughout my life with no problems that it couldn't have been the eggs. I tried eliminating just about everything else, I tried all sorts of different fiber, probiotics, herbal supplements, etc. Now that I have eliminated eggs I have consistently solid stools for the first time in a very long time, plus several other intangible benefits like mood, energy, etc.
I realize that I've probably done a lot of damage by continuing to eat something that I was intolerant to for so long. Anything acidic like soft drinks, apples, oranges, etc goes right through me (or did while I was still eating eggs, I haven't tried again yet because I want to wait longer to heal up). Same with a few different things like protein powders and also very spicy foods.
My question is: What can I do to speed up the recovery? Also, is there any benefit to regularly rotating foods to avoid new intolerances/allergies, or is this mostly an old wive's tale? I can't find any science to back up rotation diets.
I've been egg-free for a little over a week.
Here's what I am currently taking for my stomach:
L-Glutamine - 15 grams (split into 3 doses)
Bovine Colostrum - 10 grams (split into 2 doses)
Slippery Elm - 4 grams (split into 2 doses)
Psyllium Husk - 6 grams (split into 2 doses)
I also take fish oil, a multi, vitamin d, magnesium, and some other basic stuff. Before I realized it was the eggs, I ran through various elimination tests on all of my supplements, so I've got that part covered.
I've bought some mastic gum, DGL licorice, and marshmallow root that I'll try adding in one at a time. I am also looking at a product called "GI Revive" that has a mix of a ton of different ingredients in it and some very solid reviews. It looks overpriced but I am willing to pay for superior products that will help me, and I'd probably only need to take it for 1-3 months. Here is a link to the ingredient list:
A couple obvious things are missing from my supplement list: probiotics and digestive enzymes. I found that probiotics (RPN's "Gut Health") actually made my condition a lot worse when I took them during my egg-eating days. Digestive enzymes (Enzymedica's Digest Gold) had the same effect towards the end. I haven't tried either of these yet since being egg-free, but I realize that both of them will probably be needed.
My current diet is very simple. Each meal consists of:
1) meat/fish
2) a vegetable/fruit (nothing acidic)
3) some oil
4) nuts or another vegetable/fruit
No dairy, wheat, etc.
If anyone has any advice/suggestions I'd love to hear it, especially if you've been down this road before. Thanks in advance.

Santa Cruz >> The construction more than 50 years ago of the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor turned the tides of local fishing and boating history.
As if to usher in that point, just weeks before the harbor's dedication ceremony on April 18, 1964, the Great Alaskan Tsunami and Earthquake struck the coast, damaging many California harbors and killing a dozen people in Crescent City. Santa Cruz remained mostly unaffected during that storm; however, the Fukushima tsunami in Japan 47 years later left both the Crescent City and Santa Cruz harbors devastated in its aftermath.
Now, exactly five decades after the harbor's opening was celebrated with grand speeches, pomp and a sailing flotilla parade, the Santa Cruz Port District, which overseas the harbor and its surrounding property, will host a re-dedication event Friday and pop-up community museum Saturday.
Recognition of the harbor's 50 years, themed "Celebrating the Voyage," is two-fold, said Port District Director Lisa Ekers, as it follows closely the harbor's rebuilding in the aftermath of the March 2011 Fukushima tsunami. Harbor dock repair and reconstruction work, costing about $20 million, is largely completed, with the demolition and reconstruction of H and I docks remaining.
"This (celebration) kind of signals a new era for the harbor," Ekers said. "We're part of a nautical environment here. Boating is steeped in history. This anniversary provides us an opportunity to look back at history and chart our path into the future."
Turning the pages back
Retired 30-year Cabrillo College biology teacher Dougald Scott, freshly returned to the harbor from a pleasant but fruitless salmon fishing trip Monday, recalled being among the earliest night watchman for the harbor, which then only included the lower basin south of the Murray Street bridge. The north harbor was not completed until April 1973.
"I had an old pickup, and a flashlight and dimes to make a phone call if there was trouble," Scott said of his summer graduate school job. "It was a great job, I love it ... I was in marine biology, so I was always looking at stuff in the water."
Scott, whose family moved to Santa Cruz in 1950 when he was in fourth grade, said the harbor feels like it has always been a part of his life, and he and his friends make regular use of it. Fishing friend Jon Libby recalled paddling around the upper part of the harbor with turtles, when it was still a lagoon.
The community has debated issues concerning the harbor's placement over the years. Whether it be the decision to build the harbor extension on wetlands or the specific location of the harbor's mouth, prone to sand buildup or "shoaling," an oft-repeated phrase is, "It wouldn't happen now."
In 1986, the Port District took over dredging responsibility from the Army Corps of Engineers. Costs since then have risen from $600,000 a year to more than $1 million now, according to the harbor's website.
Napa resident Riccardo Guadino, a long-time observer of Santa Cruz's Italian history, said a language barrier at the time with the local Italian immigrants kept the harbor surveys from considering the mouth of Soquel Creek for the harbor.
"The sanding costs $1 million a year, they didn't pick the right site," Guadino said.
Ekers said the district wishes it did not have to dredge annually. However, the Army Corps knew what of the shoaling dangers when the chose the site, she said.
"We are what we are at this point," Ekers said.
In the heart
Others interviewed at the harbor recently were hard-pressed to describe the protective cove's significance to the community. For many long-time residents and newcomers alike, the harbor's presence is simply a fact-of-life in Santa Cruz.
Author and historian Geoffrey Dunn, who has collected the stories and voices of locals in several books, such as "Santa Cruz Is In the Heart," was 9 years old when the harbor opened.
Growing up, he worked several winters in the harbor's dry docks — some of the best days of his life, Dunn said. His great uncle was an original board member of the Port District, formed by a vote of the people in 1950.
"This was an exciting new moment in Santa Cruz history," Dunn said of the harbor's completion. "It was a bittersweet kind of day, though. I want to say that because it marked the opening of this great new venture in Woods Lagoon ... it also marked the end of the commercial fishing industry on the Santa Cruz wharf."
Dunn said the harbor's opening resulted in the demise of small-hand cranes called davits that lined the wharf and pulled fishing boats out of the water and into safety on the dock when needed. The wharf, then celebrating its 50th anniversary, was the center of the Italian fishing community, to many of whom Dunn is related.
The harbor's creation — and its offer of safety for small boats year-round, even throughout stormy winter months — represented one of several transitional changes in the community that drew visitors, and not just working fishermen, to the wharf and city, Dunn said. While some of the "color" of the fishing community was lost in the intervening years, the harbor has taken a lead as a cultural and economic center for the area, Dunn said.
"It's become a very integrated part of the greater Santa Cruz community," Dunn said.
Driving forces
While the Army Corps of Engineers both designed and built the harbor, Santa Cruz residents drove the effort to make a reality out of the dream, according to Ekers and Sentinel news accounts of the time. For several decades, district property owners' taxes helped to fund the harbor's operations. After that tax was discontinued in the 1990s, however, the harbor turned inward to focus on operating based on user fees and rental payments, Ekers said.
"Users have a stake in the harbor since it is 100 percent user-fee funded," Ekers said.
Ekers, like Dunn, agreed Santa Cruz was changed by the harbor's arrival.
"The character of the harbor matured over time, a community within a community, we say, a city within a city," Ekers said. "It's a recreational destination. You don't need a boat to enjoy it."
Today, the harbor offers entry into a federal shipping channel and a gateway to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. It is also home to O'Neill Sea Odyssey, the Sea Scouts, Save Our Shores and UCSC youth sailing programs.

text: 2 months ago I had an oil change at jiffy lube and 4/5 weeks later, the low oil pressure light came on. I checked the oil and found none touching the dipstick. After adding 4 quarts, the dipstick read LOW. That was about 3 weeks ago and now we are back in the same situation but this time the check engine light is on and did not turn off when I added oil. I don;t have oil leaking that I am aware of, no smoking anywhere. The only thing different is when my wife told me that a light was on, I noticed the typical ticking that would indicate a low oil level.

Twitter has proceeded to tear her apart for an entire day, making Jenna Jameson a global trending topic and bringing out the arguably the worst porn puns and horrible "job" jokes that Twitter has ever had to offer. Here are the best ones.

Dedicated followers of men's fashion will be fully aware that the first London Collections: Men is taking place June 15-17. Everyone else may not know or care — or find the whole concept of "men's fashion" faintly preposterous. The suit has barely changed since Beau Brummell, right? Besides, most men aren't interested in clothes.
But men's fashion is nothing to be sniffed at, economically at least. The international menswear market was worth a not inconsiderable £20 billion in 2011 and is growing faster than womenswear. Online retailer Asos recently posted that menswear sales were up a recession-busting 60 per cent year on year. It would seem, then, that more and more men are interested in clothes.
This is just one reason why you should know and care about London Collections: Men, a new three-day menswear showcase.
A special British Fashion Council committee, chaired by GQ editor Dylan Jones and including everyone from Tom Ford to Tinie Tempah via David Walliams and David Gandy, has been assembled, Avengers-like, with the aim of raising the capital to parity with the more commercially powerful Milan and Paris. (Prince Charles is hosting the opening reception.)
The schedule comprises established brands such as Dunhill and Hackett as well as up-and-coming designers fresh out of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Indeed, it is London's diversity, from the avant-garde to the conservative, from sportswear to Savile Row, that could yet give it a competitive edge over its rival fashion capitals.
Besides, men's fashion isn't all man bags and meggings (male leggings). Here are four exciting new British tailoring brands doing interesting things with the suit —things which you could actually wear to work without attracting the mockery of your less sartorially enlightened colleagues.
Mr Start
Purveyor of "Shoreditch luxury" Mr Start is known to his friends as Philip. (Gok Wan fans may also be familiar with his wife, Brix Smith-Start.) He founded his eponymous made-to-measure and off-the-peg label in 2008. "Mr Start epitomises great contemporary suiting, from formal to casual," says Start. "Everything stems from tailoring, even the shirts — hence our made-to-measure service extends to these. Our customers are often creatives from the design and art worlds. Quality is paramount, but so is price, and this is translated into everything we do, keeping the luxury affordable." The spring/summer 2013 collection promises a more laid-back, soft-shouldered construction. Right, suit from the S/S12 collection.
E Tautz
"I started Tautz in 2009 because I felt there was a big hole in the London menswear landscape," says designer Patrick Grant, by day director of Savile Row bespoke tailor Norton & Sons. "We have amazing streetwear and excellent tailoring, but I'm too old for the former and a lot of the latter is just too staid. I wanted a line for the way that I like to dress off Savile Row." The result is beautifully, chiefly British-made ready-to-wear with sportswear influences that earned Grant a British Fashion Council Award for Menswear Designer of the Year in 2010. Pictured: S/S12.
There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth among a certain kind of gent when Savile Row bespoke tailor Kilgour decided to cut its ready-to-wear in 2009. The silver lining was that Clive Darby struck out on his own. "Rake aims to cater for the international man," he says. "Every season we present a collection of versatile separates that will work with any man's wardrobe: the pieces can be worn as full suits but equally, because of cut and proportion, they can also be worn with jeans or chinos, shoes or trainers." Ironically for a brand called Rake, its symbol is a halo. Left, the A/W12 collection.
A Sauvage
Ever wondered how George Lamb always looks so sharp? It helps that in 2010 he founded his own suiting line together with Adrien Sauvage, a former personal shopper and basketball player (really). The latter describes their offering as "contemporary modern tailoring, bridging the gap between classic and fashion" — think suits and interchangeable separates in a slimmer, shorter cut. "Our mantra is 'Dress easy'," says Sauvage. "No cufflinks means no nonsense." Speaking of which, the brand has expanded into casualwear — Lamb's fellow presenter Dermot O'Leary recently wore one of its bomber jackets to The X Factor auditions. Above, A/W12.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, has determined that the plea, "Don't tase me, bro!" was the most memorable quotation of the year. The plea was made by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer on Sept. 17 as he was assaulted with a taser on the occasion of Sen. John Kerry's speech at the university.
Getting the number two nod was the remark made by the Miss Teen America contest's Lauren Upton, Miss Teen South Carolina, after she was asked why 20% of Americans cannot locate the U.S. on a map: "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us."
Anything that comes after that is anticlimactic, but here's number three: ""In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country," a remark made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
And--in case you're wondering where it is, coming in fourth was Don Imus's "That's some nappy-headed hos there."
Here is the rest of the top ten:
5. "I don't recall," which was said repeatedly by former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales during questioning at a congressional hearing about the firing of U.S. attorneys.
6. "There's only three things he (Republican presidential candidate and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani) mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11." Bad grammar aside, this was the handiwork of Sen. Josephy Biden.
7. "I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating." said Dick Cheney of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
8. "(I have) a wide stance when going to the bathroom." This is probably my personal favorite, and was, of course, Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig's explanation of why his foot touched that of an undercover policeman in a men's room. The Logo Channel has given this wonderful quotation a place in its gay dictionary. Usage: "Sheila, Larry's just not into you--he has a wide stance."
9. Sen. Biden makes the list a second time, discussing Sen. Barack Obama: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
10. And finally, former president Jimmy Carter: "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."
I wish there were a few specialized categories. For instance, Chris Matthews could probably have the top ten misogynistic quotations all on his own, with remarks like these:
"[Sen. Clinton gave a] barn-burner speech, which is harder to give for a woman; it can grate on some men when they listen to it--fingernails on a blackboard."
"[House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi will] have to do the good fight with the president over issues such as the minimum wage and prescription drugs. How does she do it without screaming? How does she do it without becoming grating?"
"[Sen. Clinton's] "clapping (at a victory event). I don't get it. It's just not appealing;" It's Chinese or something."
And let's not forget that George W. Bush is still at it:
"All of us in America want there to be fairness when it comes to justice."
"I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas." (This came as a surprise, I'm sure, to Mr. Mandela.)
I'm honored to be here with the eternal general of the United States, mi amigo Alberto Gonzales."
"One of my concerns is that the health care not be as good as it can possibly be."
"The best way to defeat the totalitarian of hate is with an ideology of hope -- an ideology of hate --excuse me--with an ideology of hope."

The cover uses Uncharted Waters from Glitz Design. Obviously the nautical theme is too perfect for this travel journal. The die-cut cruise ship and the word "cruise" are both from the Pack Your Bags cartridge.
I chose Fancy Pants' Artist Edition Spiral Brag Book for this album for the following reasons:
- This book has 12 sections. It is perfect for 12 months of the year, or in my case, a 10 day vacation plus a couple of extra sections.
- Each section has 5 sheets + 1 pocket page + 1 acetate page that can fit four 4x6 photos. I can add to the pages by adding an accordion or more pockets onto the page. I can subtract pages by removing them from the spiral bound.
- The sheets of this book are lined on one side (perfect for journaling) and blank on the other side (perfect for more creative layouts or just photos).

He is not scamming anyone out of their car at that location anymore. Charlie Reeves and Stacia Smith got charged and had to appear in court. These two bums are not swindling people out of their money and cars since that day in April. I told you that I was going to shut you down, old limp d***, and I did. You must cannot get a hard on, because there is something greatly lacking in you and that is you probably don't have a manhood, because you act like a little wimpering b**** in front of men.

good thing u could let ur pride down. and didnt try to start anything with that guy
hopefully the cops will find that wreckless driver
This is a discussion on Police seek reckless driver... within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; This happened yesterday very near where my wife and kids were at the time it occurred. I take my daughter to and from daycare along ...
This happened yesterday very near where my wife and kids were at the time it occurred. I take my daughter to and from daycare along this route daily. While I suspect there's more to the story than what the article includes, I'm still angered and concerned by the boldness shown by the suspects, considering the time of day and location.
I made a big deal of this to my wife this morning. I reminded her that if something like this were to ever happen to her, with or without kids, to make sure she 1) always lock all doors and never open windows to anyone she doesn't know, 2) call 911, 3) call me, 4) do whatever it takes to get away from someone like that, regardless of damage to the van, and 5) head TOWARD where people are, not away.
Sometimes I struggle with the order of 2 & 3...I've actually had this kind of thing happen to me about 20 years ago, long before cell phones and the like. A friend and I were leaving his office and were driving along a side road headed out to the main road, when a car cut in front of us to turn into a restaurant parking lot. It was close enough that I had to get on the brakes hard, and my friend thought it'd be appropriate to flip the bird, so to speak. Well, the other driver's pride was hurt enough that he flew through the parking lot, got back on the road and slid to a stop beside me as I sat at a stop sign. He "warned" me to keep my friend's finger back where it belonged, or "else", and to apologize. I did, not wanting trouble. I told my friend it was stupid to do that, but I also learned that there are enough idiots out there that even the simplest show of "frustration" can be interpreted as a challenge.Police seek reckless driver
The West Lafayette Police Department is seeking a reckless driver who forced several vehicles off the road Tuesday
West Lafayette Police Lt. David VanVactor said police received a call at 6 p.m., Tuesday, of a reckless driver in the area of Kalberer Road and Soldiers Home Road.
Police said the suspect vehicle, possibly a green Chevy S-10 Blazer, struck at least one vehicle numerous times and forced it to the curb before blocking it in.
A witness in the victim's vehicle said two suspects exited the vehicle but drove off after hearing sirens.
One of the suspects was described as a white male in his 40s, 6 feet to 6-feet-2, with graying hair and a beard. The other was described as a white male, 20 to 30 years old, with dark hair, a beard and numerous facial piercings.
Both men were wearing purple T-shirts with a company logo.
The vehicle was described as a green Chevy S-10 Blazer or Ford Bronco with a ladder on its roof.
Anyone with information should contact the West Lafayette Police Department at (765) 775-5200 or the anonymous WeTip Hotline at (800) 782-7463.
Situational awareness has served me well since.

Your right about flicking people the bird. It's
very immature and has lead to some very bad problems that some times leads to the death of someone.

Marylou Ferry, vice president of communications and marketing at Scripps College, has been appointed vice president and chief communications officer at Pomona College, one of the nation's premier liberal arts colleges. Ferry will join Pomona College on January 1, 2014.
In the newly created position, Ferry will lead the strategic development of Pomona's external and internal communications to improve the College's visibility, enhance its reputation and advance the College's mission. She will lead the 10-person Communications Department team, providing strategic leadership in the areas of media relations, social media, community relations, public relations, crisis communications and brand strategy. As a key member of the College's senior leadership team, she will also play a leading role on the full range of issues that affect the life of the College.
"Marylou has a great range of experience in public relations," said Pomona College President David Oxtoby in announcing the appointment. "Her background in government, the corporate sector and in higher education will be particularly valuable as we work to build on our relationships with targeted audiences and expand knowledge about the College, its mission and achievements. Her familiarity with the Claremont University Consortium and work for two of our sister campuses is a definite bonus."
At Scripps, Ferry led initiatives to expand Scripps' national visibility including significantly increasing media outreach, developing additional communication platforms, creating new admission materials and growing the social media presence. She also realigned the College's public events strategy and office, which yielded important opportunities for Scripps to engage with broader audiences on topics tied to Scripps' mission. Her office also produced several award-winning publications.
Early in her career, she worked for two Washington State Governors – as deputy legislative director for Booth Gardner and communications director for Gary Locke. In 1994, she moved into corporate public affairs with Nordstrom and then to Cinnabon. As the latter's director of media and corporate relations she worked to increase brand awareness among industry leaders and investors prior to a potential initial public offering. In 1998, she joined ARCO as the director of corporate and public affairs, where she was responsible for global media relations, issues management and political communications.
In 2000, Ferry joined the public affairs practice of Fleishman-Hillard, one of the nation's top communications firms. As vice president of public affairs, she managed teams working on issues for a range of clients including the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Pacific Maritime Association.
From 2003 until joining Scripps College in 2011, Ferry managed her own public relations firm, On Message Communications, providing clients with strategic communications counsel to advance their goals. Among her clients were the University of Redlands, for whom she created the public relations component of a national, multi-million dollar marketing initiative to increase enrollment and brand awareness, and Claremont McKenna College, for whom she developed communications strategy and materials for the recent Campaign for Claremont McKenna College, which raised $635 million dollars.
A graduate of the University of Puget Sound, Ferry is currently a trustee of Foothill Country Day School and is a former member of the Brain Trust for Cedars Sinai Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute and former marketing chair of the L.A. Private Industry Council.
Pomona College, founded in 1887, offers a comprehensive program in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. The College is known for the close relationships between students and faculty, and its range of opportunities for student research leadership. Pomona is the founding member of The Claremont Colleges, a unique consortium of five undergraduate and two graduate institutions.

From Sundance Resort, Utah
8 servings
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter
4-1/2 ounces good quality chocolate, chopped
4 egg yolks

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon flour
For custard cups:
8 (4-ounce) ovenproof custard cups
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup flour

Prepare the custard cups:
Butter and flour the custard cups with the 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/4 cup of flour. Set aside.

Does anyone know if automobile registration in NJ is now annual?? I thought it was biennial (every two years)... have they changed this??
I just got a registration notice and thought "that can't be right" but sure enough my current registration is set to expire in May 2010, one year after it was renewed.
I checked their website which is vague to say the least.
"In New Jersey, most vehicles must apply for an annual registration renewal."
State of New Jersey - Motor Vehicle Commission
Anyone have any info on this?? Was it changed or am I out of my mind??

This CN Tower Time-Lapse Will Show You Toronto's Whimsical Side
Posted: Updated:
There's no shortage of nicknames to describe Toronto. "The Big Smoke", "Hogtown" and if you ask certain Drake fans, "The 6" are all viable terms.
But while each of those touch on Toronto's history, none really seem to acknowledge how pretty Toronto actually is. Good thing for time-lapses. Shot from the top of the CN Tower, this video captures Toronto's QEW and the island on a sunny day.

Six Foods That Improve Your Vision
posted on
You may already be stocking up on carrots to keep your vision in great shape, but did you know there are dozens of other foods that can reduce your risk of vision loss? Poor eyesight is often associated with aging and genetics, but experts suggest that eyesight damage can be prevented with everyday foods. Adding a few leafy greens, dark chocolate and garlic to your daily plate are just a few ways to keep your eyes – and body – in good health.
If you're concerned about vision loss and improving your eyesight, consider adding these six foods to your weekly menu:
1. Salmon – not only does salmon contain high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, but it's also full of Vitamins A and D. Together, these dietary essentials can help boost your brain power and improve eye health. Add at least 2-3 servings of fresh salmon to your weekly menu to optimize your diet.
2. Garlic – if you're suffering from poor circulation, eating garlic regularly can enhance blood flow and give your immune system a boost. Garlic is also rich in sulfur which is essential for keeping the lenses of your eyes strong and resilient. Fresh garlic is more potent than cooked varieties, and can easily be added to entrees for a more flavorful – and healthy – dish.
3. Dark chocolate – lauded for its antioxidant benefits, dark chocolate also contains flavanoids which are essential for a healthy heart. Flavanoids help to protect the blood vessels of the eyes so that the cornea and lens stay strong as you age. Purer forms of dark chocolate are the most potent, so look for chocolate bars that contain at least 60% cacao extracts for maximum health benefits.
4. Leafy green vegetables – you already know the importance of eating your greens each day, but all that spinach, broccoli and kale will provide essential vitamins and minerals for good eye health. According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, spinach in particular contains high levels of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin which are essential for protecting the eyes from degeneration (Source: Glaucoma.org). Eating your greens fresh is the best way to maximize their health benefits.
5. Bilberries – these dark purple berries contain anthocyanosides, a compound that may reduce the risk of vision loss. They're a tart and tasty fruit that can be eaten fresh, or enjoyed as a jam or jelly. Antioxidant-rich berries are another valuable source of nutrition that may also improve your eyesight.
Ray Sahelian, M.D. claims that vision supplements with high levels of flavanols from foods such as bilberries, cinnamon and Ginkgo biloba can improve the eyesight within hours. He promotes Eyesight Rx, a dietary supplement that enhances clarity of vision, improves focus and makes colors appear brighter (Source: RaySahelian.com)
6. Eggs – whether you enjoy them scrambled, boiled or sunny side up, eggs are a valuable addition to any diet. Egg yolks contain several essential nutrients and protein that can keep you healthy; in addition to lutein and essential fatty acids, eggs contain B-vitamins and zinc that are essential for overall eye health.
From dark chocolate to garlic, stocking up on these six essential foods can help you maintain a balanced diet and improve your eye health. If you're concerned about vision loss and vision impairment, a consultation with a optometry doctor in your area can determine whether you're a good candidate for LASIK or corrective eye surgery. Still, preventive measures with some simple dietary changes may help you maintain healthy vision as you age.

The largest student association in Canada passed a resolution endorsing the global boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel.
With the passage late last week of the resolution, York University's student association joins two others in Canada - the University of Toronto and Concordia University graduate student associations - in endorsing the BDS campaign, according to the York University Excalibur
The campaign calls for universities to divest from holdings in companies that do business with Israel and to cut ties with Israeli academics.
The vote by the council of the York Federation of Students was 18-2 in favor and was advocated for by the Students Against Israeli Apartheid at York.
Jewish student groups at York complained that they were not given advance notice of the vote and had little time to prepare an argument against the resolution.
In comments to the Excalibur, Safiyah Husein, a vice president of the York Federation of Students, portrayed the resolution as uncontroversial. "Indeed, not everyone supports reduced tuition fees, equity campaigns, or sustainability work, but we know the majority of our members believe this work is vital and important," Husein said.
Chaim Lax, president of Hasbara@York, said his group was disappointed and called the resolution "fundamentally racist, and a possible violation of [York's] anti-discrimination codes."
The York Federation of Students resolution will have no actual bearing on the university's investment portfolio.
"York University uses best practices in developing its policy on investments, and this is built on advice from major investment consulting firms," York spokeswoman Janice Walls told the Canadian Jewish News.
The student federation represents over 52,000 undergraduate students at York, Canada's third-largest university.

Much of what appeals to these climate leaders, no doubt, is the bracing moral clarity and uncompromising urgency of the abolitionist cause. In 1831, introducing the first issue of The Liberator in Boston, leading American abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison answered his moderate critics: "I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm . . . tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; — but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — AND I WILL BE HEARD."
"We need the urgency of a William Lloyd Garrison, or even more," 350.org founder Bill McKibben told me in a 2012 interview, in which he agreed that the climate-justice movement, with its emphasis on human rights, has more in common with 19th-century abolitionism than with much of today's environmentalism. The climate crisis, McKibben notes, has a particularly unforgiving time limit attached. "If we don't solve it very quickly, we won't solve it." (Of course, as McKibben tells audiences, there's nothing radical about simply wanting a livable planet for our children and grandchildren. The real radicals, he says, run fossil-fuel companies.)
There are significant caveats to the comparison, of course, as there are to any historical analogy. Here are three big ones. First, I don't mean to draw any one-to-one equivalence between the consumption of fossil fuels to power our daily lives and put food on our tables (whether we're rich or poor) and the enslavement, systematic torture, and mass murder of countless human beings on the basis of race. Second, it should go without saying that fossil fuels and their effects on the atmosphere cannot simply be abolished at the stroke of a pen. There will be no Emancipation Proclamation or Act of Parliament freeing us from fossil fuels; no constitutional amendment abolishing climate change.
Finally, the climate movement advocates and engages in strictly nonviolent protest and resistance. When it comes to direct action, its models are Gandhi and Martin Luther King — not John Brown. That's not to say that violence was unjustified, ultimately, in the struggle to end slavery — or that it would never be justified to save millions of lives from the effects of climate chaos. But the climate movement is a resolutely nonviolent movement.
What resonates, then, is not so much the analogy to slavery itself, or any literal comparison to abolitionist actions, but the role of the abolitionist movement, as a movement, in American and human history — and the necessity now of a movement that is every ounce its morally and politically transformative equivalent.
The parallels are irresistible: there's the sheer magnitude of what's at stake, in human and moral and, yes, economic terms — millions of lives and trillions of dollars. There's the explicit emphasis on human rights and social justice, including economic and racial justice — considering that the majority of those suffering the worst impacts of climate change globally are impoverished people of color. There's the fiercely principled opposition to powerful and entrenched reactionary forces — whether the "Slave Power" of the antebellum South or the filthy-rich fossil-fuel lobby of today. There are even the spiritual underpinnings of both movements, the progressive religious inspiration of many activists and leaders — abolitionism grew out of Quakerism and early evangelicalism, while today's climate-justice movement has deep support among progressive faith communities (as did, let's not forget, the civil rights and antiwar movements of the '60s).

Does your hardwood in your house look grungy and dated. Do you want a more updated look? Well you should think about refinishing them instead. It has especially been a growing fad in Canada. Hardwood floor refinishing in Winnipeg has become more and more popular, and a lot more people are doing it.
Benefits of Refinishing hardwood
One of the biggest benefits of refinishing your hardwood floors is that you are able to keep the original hardwood floors. This keeps a lot more character in the home and makes it look a lot fresher and cooler. Not to mention you get to keep the original hardwood.

Three dead in Auburn tavern shootout
Gunfire erupted in the parking lot of a popular Auburn sports bar early Sunday, leaving three dead, one injured and police looking for suspects and answers.
Auburn Police Cmdr. Mike Hirman said detectives have recovered at least two guns, are questioning a "person of interest" and are processing a "very large crime scene" at The Sports Page, 2802 Auburn Way North.
The incident began about 1:45 a.m. when a large group of people — as many as 50, he said — were "milling about" in the parking lot of the bar, located in a strip mall across Auburn Way North from the municipal airport.
"Some sort of dispute erupted. You know, over a girl or words or something, and somebody started shooting and then somebody else started shooting," Hirman said. There were at least two guns involved and Hirman said there may have been other shooters, as well. "We really are just trying to sort it out. We have a very large crime scene and there were a lot of witnesses. One thing we know we have is guns and drinking." As many as a dozen people may have been involved in the fight, he said.
The parking lot was mayhem when the shooting stopped, Hirman said, with three men — all in their 20s — down and dying and a fourth victim thrown in the back of a car and rushed by his friends to Auburn General Hospital. That individual suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he is in critical condition.
Hirman said one bullet-riddled car was found in Kent and another in Federal Way. Those vehicles were impounded.
As of Sunday morning, detectives were detaining one individual as a "'person of interest," but that no formal arrests had been made. Hirman said Auburn police are looking to talk to anyone who witnessed or has information about the shooting.
