Michelle Obama on her garden, her future and the campaign
WASHINGTON – Michelle Obama is eager to show off the flourishing White House vegetable garden, but she's also keeping an eye out for her two daughters to get home from school.
"I just want to make sure that all of the homework that we do for the week was finished or being done," she explains, then mimics a child's assurance: "I don't have anything to do; I'm done." She rolls her eyes with a mother's skepticism.
She has been tending the White House garden with similarly determined oversight, chronicled in her first book, American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America (Crown, 271 pp., $30). Out today, the book is filled with photos and stories about her efforts to encourage gardens — from plots in vacant city lots to pots of herbs on apartment windowsills — and, with them, healthier diets, especially for kids.

STORY:Michelle Obama answers a reader's question
Michelle Obama celebrates healthy eating and gardening.
Her drive against childhood obesity riles critics who say she is pursuing Nanny State policies on an issue better left to families. Four in 10 Americans say the federal government shouldn't play a big role in combating obesity.
Michelle Obama (who denies any Nanny State intentions) says she's glad the "big, bright light" that shines on her as the president's spouse can be focused on her chosen causes, but says she's not tempted to pursue such issues by running for office herself. More than not tempted, really: She rejects speculation that she might follow in Hillary Rodham Clinton's footsteps to try to go from first lady to the U.S. Senate (a New York Times columnist last week wrote he had heard "vague murmurings" about a post-White House bid in her native Illinois) with the sort of no-wiggle-room language politicians typically avoid.
"Absolutely not," she says flatly in an interview with USA TODAY. "It will not happen."
Or any political office?
"No chance at all."
Next question?
She is poised to play a central role in President Obama's re-election campaign. She already has, headlining 54 fundraisers that have raised millions of dollars over the past year. Closer to Election Day, she'll be deployed to help turn out Democratic partisans who give her overwhelming approval. "I'm going to fight as hard as I can," she says. "I'm going to work as hard as I can to make sure that we have him for another four years, because there is a lot left to do."
For the moment, though, she would prefer to engage on the wonders of the garden she has tucked in a corner of the South Lawn, shielded by trees from the formal entrances where foreign leaders arrive but visible to tourists who cluster along the chain-link fence.
On this muggy spring day, there is an expanse of blue-green broccoli on the ground and deep-red fish peppers ripening on climbing vines.
There is Swiss chard and sea kale and Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage and four kinds of garlic. A patch of blueberries is in a low wire enclosure, designed to keep birds from feasting on the fruit. Two of the raised beds are named for Thomas Jefferson, the third president and an avid gardener. There, English peas are growing from seeds collected from his gardens at Monticello.
Banned: beets.
Barack Obama hates them.
To begin a conversation
Michelle Obama first had the notion of creating a garden at the White House before there was any certainty her family would be moving here. It was even before the victory in the Iowa caucuses in January 2008 that would ignite her husband's hard-fought Democratic nomination battle against Clinton, then a New York senator and now his secretary of State.
"Back then, it was really just the concept of, I wonder if you could grow a garden on the South Lawn?" Michelle Obama says. "If you could grow a garden, it would be pretty visible and maybe that would be the way that we could begin a conversation about childhood health, and we could actually get kids from the community to help us plant and help us harvest and see how their habits changed."
She was a city kid from Chicago's South Side who had never had a garden herself, though her mother recalls a local victory garden created to produce vegetables during World War II. One childhood photo included in the book shows Michelle as an infant in her mother's arms — the resemblance between Marian Robinson in the picture and Michelle as an adult is striking — and another depicts a young Michelle practicing a headstand in the backyard.
("I can't do that anymore," the 48-year-old Harvard-trained lawyer says with a chuckle in the interview. "Tried it and had a headache for a week.")
Concern about her daughters' health had sparked her interest in seeking out fresher, healthier and more locally grown foods. She discussed the idea with some friends who gardened but didn't mention it to her husband until after Election Day.
"I didn't talk to him about it until he had won, because I figured you don't jinx an election by talking to the candidate about — you know, 'When we get there … ' " she says, gesturing around her and laughing. After the election, she broached her idea to start the first vegetable garden on the White House grounds since Eleanor Roosevelt's victory garden in the 1940s.
Since the garden's groundbreaking in 2009 — just two months after the inauguration — she has hosted seasonal waves of students from local elementary schools that help plant the seeds. Groundskeepers and dozens of volunteers weed and tend the garden. Charlie Brandts, a White House carpenter who is a hobbyist beekeeper, has built a beehive a few feet away to pollinate the plants and provide honey that Michelle Obama says "tastes like sunshine."
(The hive faces southeast to put the flight path of the bees in the opposite direction of the White House basketball court, and the base is solidly strapped to the ground so turbulence from the Marine One helicopter, which lands and takes off nearby, won't topple it.)
Some of the harvest is donated to Miriam's Kitchen, a feeding program for the homeless in downtown Washington, and jars of pickled White House vegetables have been part of gift packages for United Nations dignitaries. At a luncheon last week for spouses of the Group of Eight leaders meeting at Camp David, the menu featured greens from the White House garden.
The book includes recipes from White House chefs, from corn soup to spinach pie.
Obama is contributing her proceeds from the book to the National Park Foundation, a non-profit group that will use the funds to offset the modest costs of the White House garden as well as finance programs promoting gardening, healthful eating and outdoor activities by young people.
Many evenings, the Obamas' family dinner features something that is ripe and ready from the garden — although 14-year-old Malia turns out to be no fan of snap peas, homegrown or not. The dinner hour itself has been an unexpected benefit of their White House tenure, Michelle Obama says.
"Truly, before we came to the White House, we didn't have time for family dinners," she says. "We were like most families. Dad was at work or traveling. The girls and I would eat as much as possible together, but sometimes they had activities and somebody was eating at a different time."
Now, almost every night at 6:30, they sit down to dinner in the second-floor family quarters of the White House. They go around the table to say what each is thankful for that day, then repeat a blessing Malia and Sasha, now 10, came up with when they moved here — "We hope to live long and strong" — before clinking their glasses together and digging in.
'She knows him'
Michelle Obama has become a formidable political asset.
"There's no one other than the president himself that our supporters would rather hear from," says David Axelrod, a top strategist for Obama since his 2004 Senate bid. She can speak about her husband with authority, he says. "Nobody understands the president and gets the president more than Michelle. She knows him; she knows what motivates him, what drives him."
At times, she was a more mixed presence in 2008. A remark she made during a campaign event in Milwaukee — "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country" — created a furor, though she said the comment was taken out of context and misrepresented.
Four years later, her popularity exceeds his. A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken this month puts President Obama's favorable-unfavorable rating at 52%-46% while Michelle Obama's standing is a rosier 66%-27%.
The survey of 1,012 adults May 10-13 has a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points.
That puts her in the same positive territory that Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush occupied during their husbands' first terms in the White House. She isn't as popular as Barbara Bush, whose grandmotherly mien made her all but unassailable, but is considerably better liked than Hillary Clinton was after overseeing creation of her husband's doomed health-care proposal.
Michelle Obama has burnished her standing by taking a traditional course in a role that has no clear job description.
"She's earned respect even from political detractors like me … for the fact that she set out from the beginning and seemed to hew very closely to her goal first and foremost of being a mother," says Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway, praising the Obamas for their close family life at a time broken homes are common. "That has helped to soften the sharp edges and the sharp elbows from 2008."
The first lady bristles a bit at the suggestion she has stuck to safe issues. "I don't think there is anything non-controversial about children's health," she says. "There are still people who question whether this is an issue."
"The road to gastric hell is paved with first lady Michelle Obama's Nanny State intentions," conservative columnist Michelle Malkin wrote. Most Republicans think the government shouldn't have a major role in fighting obesity, according to a Pew Research Center survey this year. In the USA TODAY Poll, 56% of Republicans have an unfavorable impression of her — offset by the 90% of Democrats and 66% of independents who have a positive one.
Katherine Jellison, a history professor at Ohio University who studies women in politics, has changed her assessment of Michelle Obama. During the 2008 campaign, she saw her as a potential first lady in the mold of the outspoken Betty Ford. Now she sees her as more analogous to Jackie Kennedy, fashion-forward and focused on her kids.
"I do see her playing it more safely this time around," Jellison says. "I think back to some of the moments in 2008 when she got a lot of flak and blowback, and I think it was a bit of a wake-up call for her." During this campaign, "she's really, really working to put the right foot forward and give as little ammunition as possible to people of a mindset ready to pounce on any perceived misstep."
Michelle Obama's value in the campaign is unique, Democratic pollster Celinda Lake says.
"She's a character reference for him," Lake says. "I think that's important because you have these crazy accusations about him — 'the food stamp president,' the birthers (who question his citizenship) — and it makes it harder for that stuff to stick when she's part of the picture."
Both Michelle Obama and Ann Romney, wife of likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney, help humanize husbands who at times can seem aloof.
What does she see as her mission in this campaign?
"I have seen up close and personal what being president of the United States looks like and feels like," Michelle Obama replies. "When you've got all these people advising you — and you're going to get advice from everywhere — all you have in the end is your character, your values and your vision for this country," Michelle Obama says. "That's what it all boils down to. … And I wouldn't trust anybody more than I trust Barack to make that happen. That's what I can share with people."
That, and tales of her garden.

WHAT'S ON YOUR IPOD? BWW Talks to Pianist Jeffrey Biegel
WHAT'S ON YOUR iPOD?
BWW Classical Talks to Pianist Jeffrey Biegel.
Jeffrey Biegel is not your run-of-the-mill classical pianist. Yes, he has performed with major symphony orchestras in most of the world's great concert hall, yes, he has amassed an astoundingly impressive portfolio of recordings, and yes, he possesses technical virtuosity of seemingly, other-worldly caliber, but the versatile virtuoso is also just about the most eclectic musician on the planet today - not merely within the classical realm. Whether he's performing the Piano Concerto No. 1, by rock legend Keith Emerson (of Emerson, Lake and Palmer fame) or the charming "Manhattan Intermezzo" by pop-rock icon Neil Sedaka, or a symphony of the music of The Monkees (with Peter Tork) Biegel brings the same extraordinary level of artistry, intensity and commitment to every performance and every work.
His big news on the classical side is the formation of a new classical "super-trio" with New York Philharmonic Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow and cellist Robert DeMaine. Their debut performances are scheduled for early 2015. Biegel's new CD, "Life According to Chopin," is a fresh look at some of the composer's great waltzes, nocturnes and mazurkas -given that special Biegel touch.
BWW Classical is thrilled that Mr. Biegel took time from his busy schedule to sit down and share with us some of the music that is currently inspiring him.
Fine pianist, Stewart Goodyear--a favorite of mine--in his new concerti release of Tchaikovsky 1 and Grieg--looking forward to this!!!
Kenneth Fuchs--always delivers wonderful recordings with the London Symphony--his "Discover the Wild" in particular, is an enthralling and exciting piece, full of American landscape.

The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up a cloud make-over for the enterprise talent management system (ETMS) that tracks employee skills and administrative housekeeping capabilities for eight operational agencies, DHS headquarters facilities and 250,000 employees.
The ETMS will be supported by one of the first shared services models implemented at DHS under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), said Terry Miller, chief operating officer at Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP). FedRAMP provides federal IT with a framework for security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. VIP was the only FedRAMP-certified bidder for the project, said VIP CEO Jonna Ward.
VIP teamed with its Meridian Knowledge Solutions subsidiary to win the $95 million single-award blanket purchase agreement from DHS. VIP is the prime contractor for the BPA and will supply IT services, including software planning and analysis, design, integration and testing. VIP's wholly-owned Meridian subsidiary will deliver the ETMS software, technical support and ongoing customer service to DHS.
Ward said the new system will take over the duties of four ETMS platforms now used at DHS. One system, at Customs and Border Protection, is already provided by VIP, she said.
DHS' Washington headquarters will be the next site where it will be installed, with follow-ons at the remaining agencies, Ward said. "Each component agency has its own project manager to convert" to the new system. ETMS rollout will be done in waves, but should be completed in less than a year, she said. Once the cloud-based platform is installed across DHS headquarters and the agency's eight operational components (CBP, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Secret Service, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) it will provide a single platform to analyze employee skills and track talent, according to Miller.
The conversion will alter some user interfaces depending on the agency, said Ward, but not substantially. The big difference, she said, will be in pricing and capabilities. The shared services pricing is a per-user cost annually. That per-user cost will decrease as the number of users increases across the department, she said.

The department's failure to launch an agile services contract can serve as a teachable moment, according to DHS procurement officials.
Current restrictions on internet gateways complicate agencies' move to the cloud, so the Office of Management and Budget is exploring new security architectures.

Telecom providers argue about the role and impact of state-run networks on FirstNet's nationwide public safety broadband network.
Mark - The statement the VIP CEO was quoted as saying isn't entirely accurate: "VIP was the only FedRAMP-certified bidder for the project". VIP does not hold a FedRAMP ATO. VIP teamed with CGI Federal, who will provide the underlying IaaS infrastructure, which does have a FedRAMP ATO. However, this does not elevate FedRAMP requirements for the VIP application. To have a FedRAMP complaint solution per OMB and FedRAMP guidance, both the underlying infrastructure and the SaaS application require FedRAMP ATO.
If it's a cloud-based platform, than what is being installed at the DHS components?

Solar sails could be used on satellites to levitate them above the crowd of objects circling Earth and into orbital paths that have never been used, new research suggests.
First predicted by the American space scientist Robert L. Forward in 1984, these orbits are only now being shown to be viable, the researchers said.
By using the pressure of sunlight to produce thrust, solar sails would keep the satellites from falling back into the geostationary ring above Earth's equator, which is already chock-full of satellites and space debris, according to the study. That packed strip is 22,245 miles (35,800 kilometers) above the Earth. Any satellites receiving a solar "oomph" could instead travel in "displaced orbits" about six to 31 miles (10 to 50 kilometers) farther out.
The research is detailed in a recent issue of the Journal of Guidance, Control and Dynamics.
The orbital challenges
Geostationary orbits ? orbits in which a satellite can remain perched over the same patch of ground ? are coveted for communications use because of their stability with respect to land-based antennas.
By matching the Earth's rotation, objects following these paths appear to always rest in the same part of the sky.
But true geostationary orbits are relatively rare: Only ones within the ring of sky 22,245 miles above the equator fit the bill. When dropped into one of the orbits in this strip, an unpowered satellite moves effortlessly along its curve.
Orbits that involve only the gravitational force are known as Keplerian.
"Satellites generally follow Keplerian orbits, named after Johannes Kepler, the scientist who helped us understand orbital motion 400 years ago," said the lead researcher of the new study, Colin McInnes, director of the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory, at Scotland's University of Strathclyde.
While some families of orbits outside the equatorial band also let satellites complete an orbit in 24 hours, they present some notable problems.
"Imagine a circular orbit whose plane doesn't pass through the center of the Earth. If the orbit plane was above the center of the Earth, the Earth?s gravity would exert a downwards pull and the forces would be out of balance," McInnes told SPACE.com.
In other words, the satellite would slip back toward the equator. But not if it had a solar sail, according to the new study.
Solar thrust
The first successful deployment of a solar sail in space occurred in July, by the unmanned Japanese spacecraft Ikaros, which is currently on its way toward Venus.
The idea that large space sails could levitate satellites above their natural resting spots at the Earth's equator was first proposed by Forward (1932-2002), a physicist and science fiction writer.
Sunlight reflected off the sail could provide a vertical force that works against gravity and keeps the orbit pushed above the equator, the theory goes.
But the unusual dynamics of the problem made scientists consider it an impossible feat. Tilted in order to produce a vertical thrust, the sails would also experience an extra force in the horizontal direction, which could knock them out of orbit.
"The sail provides a thrust which pushes the orbit above the geostationary ring. However, there is also thrust in the direction away from the sun. This leads to a violation of the geostationary condition if it's not accounted for properly," McInnes said.
To correct for the pressure of photons hitting the sail and moving it away from the sun, researchers designed an orbit that would remain intact while accounting for this force.
"Other studies didn't do this and so could only find orbits which didn't have a 24-hour period," McInnes said.
Currently, researchers are studying the possibility of polar stationary orbits for climate-monitoring satellites. Spacecraft would require a continuous low thrust from a hybrid solar sail and electrical propulsion system in order to counteract for the inwards pull of gravity.
"In reality, we also need to compensate for the sun's gravity," McInnes said.

Abortion-related attitudes and practice among physicians in New Mexico: has medical abortion increased access? Objective: Although New Mexico does not have some of the harsh restrictions imposed on abortion found in other states, but access is still limited due to the lack of providers. Another study was conducted in 2001, just after FDA approval of medical abortion with mifepristone. This follow-up study aims to examine whether access to abortion in New Mexico has changed since the approval and to identify the current demographics of abortion providers, attitudes about abortion, and barriers to providing terminations. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to all OB/GYNs and an equivalent number of randomly selected family physicians currently practicing in New Mexico. Questions assessed demographics and attitudes toward abortion. A sample size of N=400 was projected to provide a power of 80% and detect a 15% difference (alpha=.05) with a response rate of 50%. Data was analyzed utilizing Chi square. Results: Family practice and OB/GYN providers' attitudes and practice patterns are similar to those observed in 2001. Twenty-two abortion providers were identified (3 FP and 19 OB/GYN) similar to data in 2001. Statistically significant barriers for family practice physicians remain lack of training, lack of ultrasound equipment/experience, and concern for complications with lack of surgical backup. OB/GYNs cite personal belief as their primary barrier. There has been an increase in the number of providers of medical abortion in the state since the FDA approval of mifepristone (p=0.0397. Approximately 16% of respondents received CME in the use of mifepristone since 2000. Conclusion: This study provided insight into the current practices and barriers to providing abortion in New Mexico. We recommend continued efforts to increase access to abortion training in residencies, increased awareness about abortion to ensure that patients are receiving accurate information and appropriate referral, and continued allocation of resources to provide CME training in mifepristone. Supported in part by the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and The University of New Mexico Hospital Department of OB/GYN.

I got a 2012 Silverado Extended cab, LS.
I need to find a fuse / ignition source for power hook, it needs to go off when the truck is off. Its for a 3 way plug-in lighter adapter.
I want to mount it in the back of the cab for the back seat.
I found the fuse block on the driver side front, but what fuse is an ignition on/off fuse? Or even better what wire is off the ignition switch and runs under the sill plate for the doors?

I'm certain that this thread won't be as good as some...say those by Superjedi, Spidey, etc., but here goes.
I was lucky to find a FPH on sale in the Cargo Hold. Thanks to CMAnavy!
The attached pics (at the bottom of the post) are just a few pics of the bucket and one of the FPH in comparison to the bucket I have now...it's tiny!
Here is what I have done so far:
I painted the inside flat black. I'm not sure why I did this first because after all of my fooling around on the inside mounting screw posts and what not, I'm going to have to touch up some spots.
I started by masking the helmet. I don't take any chances.
Then I sprayed the flat black and it looked like this:
I got the keyslots cut out. Boy let me tell you, I'm glad there aren't 7 of them because if there were...I would be blind. Getting those things looking pretty with the Dremel and hobby files makes you go cross-eyed. Granted, it is a lot easier with the FPH because the lines are so delineated.
Here is the helmet "out of the box":
I started by drilling two small holes to get a foothold on the slot.
Here is the final. Again, using the Dremel and a drill bit to do the majority of the work. Finished up with hobby files and some fine grip sandpaper wrapped on a popscicle stick. I am repainting the back of this bucket anyway, so I'm not worried about the paint chipping.
I also go the gorgeous alluminum ears mounted using Evan4218's template. I made the holes slightly larger than needed (thank Eric! ) so I could do some adjusting.
I also mounted the screw posts for the MQ-1 board and visor using JB Kwik. This stuff is great. Highly recommended...just have everything ready to go because, like the name implies, this stuff sets quick!!
I'm waiting on the visor, but have a nice template ready to go. The fun starts tomorrow with sanding smooth the old paint smooth on the back, masking, and putting down some primer on the back panels and keyslot areas. Hopefully, I'll get to it early so I can get the concrete down too. Then I have to test some concoctions of blue-green. 8)

Questions on 2003 Color options/European Delivery
Hopefully someone here on the forum can answer or possibly direct me to answers to my questions.
I'm currently a contractor working in Qatar (Middle East). Since a 330ci was one of the vehicles I may be interested in buying, I recently stopped by a BMW dealer here in the city of Doha and looked at some 2003 models. What I noticed was a different set of exterior paint colors, upholstery colors and trim colors. I was really impressed with a paint color of light yellow metallic, with light yellow nappa leather and birch wood trim. So rich looking. Obviously the color options are different for "European" spec models, the kind they import here. I verified the colors by surfing the BMW Germany web site.
Here are my questions:
1) If I decided on either ordering a 2003 U.S. model back in the states directly from the dealer or via European delivery, am I able to request/order these special "European only" colors?
2) If I went the other route of purchasing the vehicle here in Qatar or flying directly to Germany and doing the same thing, can a European model vehicle be optioned with U.S. emission/specs so it will pass inspection? If so does anyone have experience or knowledge of the cost of this option or the costs of doing that once it is back in the states?
I welcome any input, especially from dealers. I won't be buying a vehicle till late summer, but any help I can get now can possibly lead to a 100% cash sale for any of you sales representatives out there. ;-)
In response to your questions:
1) No. You can't order anything that is not normally available for US models. You may be able to get it by doing a special order and paying for special paint as long as that color is available on other parts of the world. Here is a link to that discussion:
2) It will be a royal pain to get that car to be emissions legal and pass all the US certifications. You are better off by ordering the paint as a special order. I personally would do neither.
Reminder: European delivery is in no way different from buying a car in the US whether you think it's a good or bad thing. The ONLY difference is that you pick the car up in Europe.

Economic woes won't dim glamour on Oscar red carpet
By Patricia Reaney
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Economic woes have taken their toll on Wall Street and Main Street, but they won't dim the glamour on the red carpet at the Academy Awards.
It will be business as usual on Feb 22, the biggest night of the U.S. film industry when it pays tribute to its finest actors, directors, producers and writers.
Film stars in designer gowns will stroll down the red carpet to the delight of screaming fans and millions of television viewers before the awards gala at the Kodak Theater.
Jewelry and shoe designers said they expect the look to be pure Hollywood but with less glitz this year than in the past.
"A lot of the looks we are styling have to do with creating big looks with less bling," said Michelle Adjoran, of Tacori jewelers, which works with celebrities to create distinctive looks for the red carpet.
"Instead of a huge statement necklace, which we did see at the Golden Globes, I think you are going to see a lot more open necklines, dramatic earrings and accent pieces that offset something," she added in an interview.
Expect to see broaches worn as hairpieces, layered chains around the neck and stacked bracelets.
"They (film stars) want something that is reflective of them and that hasn't been seen before," said Adjoran, adding that the jewels are primarily on loan to the stars for the night. Continued...

HFN's Zisko Joins Riedel for Trends Talk at Housewares Show
November 30, 2012,
Allison Zisko
NEW YORK-Two longtime industry veterans--Allison Zisko, HFN's managing editor/tabletop editor, and A.J. Riedel, of Riedel Marketing Group--are slated to present a seminar at the International Home + Housewares Show in March 2013. Called "The Six Consumer Trends That Will Be Impacting Your Business in 2013 And Beyond," it will take place on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, from 9:30-10:20 a.m. in the Innovation Theater in the Lakeside Center.
The seminar is one of 22 educational programs scheduled for the Innovation Theater, located in Room E350, during the show. The programs will begin every hour starting the morning of Saturday, March 2, and run through Tuesday, March 5, 2013, the length of the Housewares Show.
"This topic is important for show attendees because, without keeping their fingers on the pulse of consumer trends, they run the risk of following in the footsteps of the buggy whip manufacturer--they could become hopelessly outmoded if trends change and consumers no longer need their products," Riedel told the International Housewares Association.
The balance between offering on-trend products that also have staying power is a challenging one for manufacturers, Zisko added. "Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between passing fads and soon-to-be staples....Consumers have so much to choose from in the vast housewares category. What they need most is accurate, reliable information on what products are the best in terms of quality and which ones will best suit their needs."
The IHA will post regular show event updates on housewares.org.

text: Yesterday I put a new oil cooler in my catera. Today when I went outside to start it up it wouldn't start. After like 15 tries it finally started up but I had to keep my foot on the gas pedal. Another weird thing is that when I slam my gas pedal all the way down the rpm's will go to like 1500-1800 and no more. Also my traction control and the light with exclamation point is on and it wasn't before. After a while of holding the gas down I finally let off and the engine was idling very weird. Like the rpm's would go up and down and it sounded like the engine was tryin to take deep breaths over and over. When I try to put it into gear it just shuts off. Any advice would be useful right now, thanks.

Fantasy: Value Town – Week 7 Edition
Fantasy: Value Town – Week 7 Edition
Value Town is a weekly column that goes game by game to dig deeper and identify big value plays and some not-so-obvious starts.
Big Value
These players are must-starts in all formats.
New York Giants @ Dallas: Miles Austin – There's an old saying in fantasy football that goes something like this – "start your studs." Austin is certainly a stud, but his dud performances in two of his last three games (2 catches for 20 yards in Week Three and 2 catches for 12 yards in Week Six) have left some fantasy owners scratching their heads. This coupled with the emergence of Roy Williams, who has scored 5 TDs in the last 3 games, may lead some to consider benching Austin. Please don't.
This week he faces a Giants defense that has been very good against the pass. Through the first six games of the season, they are giving up just 172 passing yards per game. A lot of this success is due to the play of Corey Webster (+4.1) and Terrell Thomas (+2.2). A closer look, however, reveals a potential chink in the armor. While Thomas has been nasty this season, racking up 31 solo tackles, his coverage leaves something to be desired. He currently grades out at -3.8 in coverage, which is due in large part to the 25 catches for 350 yards and 4 scores given up in his coverage. Austin is a big and fast receiver with a high football IQ who will exploit any openings the defense gives him. I expect a big day from him, as he's likely to line up across from Thomas quite often. Start him with confidence as a top-end WR1.
Buffalo @ Baltimore: Joe Flacco – Since his extremely rough start to the season, Flacco (+16.9) has rolled over the last month. In that span he has averaged a hair under 250 passing yards per game and has connected with his receivers for 6 TDs. More importantly, he has thrown just 1 interception over the last four weeks. He may not give you huge fantasy numbers, but his consistency and efficiency make him a nice start this week.
Flacco faces a Buffalo defense that has been one of the poorest PFF rated units this season. Their ineffective pass rush (-5.5) and coverage (-13.5) has given opposing QBs plenty of time and space to hit their receivers. The Bills have currently given up 11 passing TDs while recording just 1 interception. Expect Flacco to take advantage of the Bills' shortcomings in the secondary early. He'll likely look to exploit corners Drayton Florence (-3.1) and Leodis McKelvin (-0.1), who both grade out negatively in coverage and have each given up 2 TDs this season. In a week where Peyton Manning and Matt Schaub are on bye, Flacco (if you have him) is a great option to fill in at QB.
Pittsburgh @ Miami: Mike Wallace – Wallace (-0.3) may just be the best big-play receiver in the league. Of WRS who have been on the field for at least 50% of their team's snaps, only four average more than 20 yards per reception – Wallace, Malcom Floyd, Johnny Knox, and DeSean Jackson. Of these players, only one averages more than 22 yards per catch – Wallace at 25.1 yards per catch. Simply put, no other receiver offers more bang for your buck.
The Dolphins have been relatively strong against the pass this season, giving up an average of just 201.8 yards per game through the air. This success is a testament to their defensive personnel. Miami has an up and coming superstar cornerback in Vonte Davis (+3.6). He has been impressive in coverage, but talks of "Davis Island" may be a bit premature. Opposing receivers are catching 66.7% of balls thrown into his coverage, which is much higher than Brandon Flowers' league leading 39.0%. So we can't call him 'shut-down' just yet. This being said, I like Wallace and his big-play ability as a solid WR2 start this week.
Arizona @ Seattle: Marshawn Lynch – What a difference a trade makes. Lynch (+0.9) went from splitting time in a three-way running back by committee in Buffalo, to getting a lion's share of the touches last week in Seattle. While Justin Forsett did have the better statistical day, Lynch got 20 touches to just 11 for Forsett and got the goal line carry in the beginning of the fourth quarter. This is all despite playing 5 less snaps than Forsett. What's even more telling that this is now Lynch's gig is that he received 5 touches down the crucial stretch in the 4th quarter while Forsett got just 1. The message is clear that Lynch is Pete Carroll's guy and Forsett is merely a 3rd down back.
With another week in the Seahawk offense under his belt, we should see Lynch on the field for more snaps against the Cardinals. This is good news for Lynch owners, as Arizona sports the lowest PFF rated run defense (-33.2). They have given up an average of 173 total yards per game and have also allowed 6 TDs to opposing RBs. They have been particularly vulnerable to more powerful RBs, as both Jason Snelling in Week Two and Mike Tolbert in Week Four have shown us. Lynch is a much bigger back than Forsett, so I expect Carroll to pound away at the Cardinals with him and would not be surprised to see Lynch finish the game with 20+ touches. If you have him, he makes a great flex play with RB2 upside this week.
Cincinnati @ Atlanta: Terrell Owens – So far this season, Owens (+1.7) has been much more effective for fantasy owners than his Bengals teammate Chad Ochocinco (-7.0). Though the two have seen an almost identical amount of snaps, Owens has received 11 more targets. More looks from Carson Palmer have resulted in 160 more receiving yards than Ochocinco for Owens. Some of this success can also be attributed to his ability after the catch, where he is averaging a very respectable 5.8 yards per reception. In comparison, Ochocinco averages just 3.0 yards after catch.
Following their bye, the Bengals face a Falcons defense that just gave up 3 passing scores to the Eagles. They currently grade out at just -2.1 in pass coverage, and lose starting corner Dunta Robinson (+2.6) for at least this week to a concussion. In his place, Chris Owens (-3.5) will get the start. The defensive Owens has been lackluster at best in his 181 snaps this season. Opposing receivers have caught 14 of 19 balls thrown into his coverage for an average of 12 yards per catch. Look for Palmer and the Bengals to pick on the defensive Owens by using the offensive Owens. I expect a very nice day for the offensive Owens and like him as a solid WR2
Cleveland @ New Orleans: Peyton Hillis – Hillis (+8.6) has been one of the biggest waiver wire wonders through the first half of the fantasy season. Though there were concerns last week about his injured quad, he gained 90 total yards against a Pittsburgh defense that has been very tough against opposing RBs. He also caught 6 balls in the game, bringing his total to 26 on the season. What's more impressive is that he's caught all of his 26 targets on the season.
This is a very juicy matchup for Hillis. He faces a Saints defense that is one of only eight teams that currently grades out negatively against the run (-4.1). They yield an average of 140.3 total yards per game and have given up 6 TDs (4 rushing and 2 receiving) to opposing RBs. Expect the Browns to use their run game to keep the high-powered New Orleans offense off the field. This will translate to a lot of touches for Hillis, who should pound his way to very good fantasy day. He's a solid RB2 option and should be started with confidence.
Washington @ Chicago: Jay Cutler – After missing Week Five with a concussion, Cutler (+6.6) returned to throw for 290 yards against the Seahawks. While he did not throw an interception, he also failed to throw a TD. Cutler owners may be concerned, but the Seahawks have only yielded 6 scores through the air this season. What should be more alarming is that Cutler is getting sacked once every 7.57 drop backs. This is by far the lowest ratio among starting QBs and is nearly 6 times lower than the highest ratio of Peyton Manning (who is sacked once every 43.33 drop backs).
Though his high sack count can certainly raise durability issues this season, I still like Cutler this week against Washington. The Redskins are yielding the 4th most fantasy points to opposing QBs and grade out as the 3rd worst against the pass. For all the hype, DeAngelo Hall (-4.9) has been ugly this season. Opposing receivers have caught 36 of 41 balls thrown into his coverage for 417 yards and 3 scores. In comparison, Hall gave up 36 catches in all of last season. Look for Cutler to work the ball around to his open receivers, and don't be surprised if one of them ends up having a big fantasy day (my money is on Johnny Knox). Based on the matchup, I like Cutler as a low-end QB1 this week.
Sneaky Value
These players are risky but their matchup offers potential upside.
Jacksonville @ Kansas City: Matt Cassel – The deeper leauge QB start of the week has to be Cassel (+5.0), as he faces the extremely poor Jaguars pass defense. Though the Chiefs do not pass often (145 QB drop backs out of 319 snaps for Cassel), I expect good things from Cassel this week. He hasn't exactly been the picture of consistency, but Tom Brady's former backup has thrown for 3 TDs in two of his last three games. Cassel's stock has also improved due to the play of Dwayne Bowe (+2.3) in Week Six. After four games of sub-par play, Bowe showed up in a big way by catching 6 balls on 8 targets for 108 yards and 2 scores.
If you've read this column over the past few weeks, you already know that the Jaguars stink against the pass. Their -30.0 PFF rating for coverage is the second lowest in the league, so the Chiefs will have no problem moving the ball through the air. I like Cassel to have a big day against this Jacksonville defense that has given up 14 passing TDs to opposing QBs. In addition to Bowe, expect Cassel to target Tony Moeaki early and often, as the Bills currently yield more fantasy points than any other team to opposing TEs. If you got hit by the bye-week go out and grab Cassel.
San Francisco @ Carolina: Jonathan Stewart – Stewart (-0.1) has been extremely disappointing for fantasy owners so far this season. While this is not the best matchup, Stewart is an interesting risk/reward play this week. I particularly like his abilities in the passing game. Back in Week Four, he showed his receiving ability by getting wide-open down the field and essentially walking into the end zone for a 55-yard TD. In looking at the numbers, he has been on the field for 41 less snaps than DeAngelo Williams, but has 35 more yards receiving and rates a full PFF point higher than Williams in the passing game.
The 49ers have given up the second most receiving yards to opposing RBs (only the Redskins have given up more). They currently yield an average of 52.3 receiving yards and 6.3 catches per game to RBs. Matt Moore will have a tough time throwing against 49ers' CBs Nate Clements (+8.0) and Shawntae Spencer (-0.1), as both have held opposing QBs to below a 76.0 QB rating when throwing into their coverage. Expect a lot of check downs from Moore. Yes, some of this will go to Williams, but if you're hurting at RB this week, you could do a lot worse than Stewart. While this is a gamble that I can't recommend to everyone, Stewart is one of the most sneaky flex plays this week.
St. Louis @ Tampa Bay: Danario Alexander – The fantasy surprise of Week Six had to be Alexander (+2.5). In playing just 22 snaps, the rookie out of Missouri was targeted 5 times. This equaled Danny Amendola's target total, which he accumulated in nearly double the amount of snaps. Alexander finished the game with 4 catches for 72 yards and a TD. His score came on an impressive 38-yard strike from Sam Bradford, where Alexander displayed good speed and made a nice diving catch in the end zone. With Alexander, the Rams look as if they may have found the deep threat they have missed since losing Donnie Avery in the preseason.
Tampa Bay has been unimpressive in all three PFF-graded phases of defense this season. They grade out negatively against the run (-26.1), in pass rush (-3.4), and in pass coverage (-10.2). Though the Rams are no offensive juggernaut, they should have no problem moving the ball on the Buccaneers. Like every other team in the NFL, Tampa Bay knows that Steven Jackson is a big part of the offense and will key in on him. Bradford will need to throw early to keep the Buccaneers honest. With his big-play ability, Alexander makes a really interesting WR3 play in deeper leagues.
Philadelphia @ Tennessee: Jason Avant – With teammate DeSean Jackson out with a concussion, Avant will fill in for the Eagles. He looked good last week in Jackson's absence, and caught a season-high 5 balls on 5 targets for 62 yards. While these are by no means mind-bending numbers, he has an opportunity this week to start on an Eagles offense that loves to throw the football regardless of who is playing QB.
The Titans are a good defensive team and do very well in coverage (+17.7). So why then do I recommend Avant? It's no secret that Jeremy Maclin is now the Eagles best receiving threat, so expect Tennessee to focus a lot of defensive attention on him. Despite grading out strongly for coverage, they do yield an average of 231 yards passing per game. With extra attention being paid to Maclin, these yards have to go somewhere. I suspect TE Brent Celek will see his share of Kevin Kolb targets, but the biggest beneficiary may end up being Avant. He's a very interesting flex play that could pay dividends, especially in PPR formats.
New England @ San Diego: Patrick Crayton – Last week, Crayton (+2.3) seized the opportunity when Malcom Floyd (+5.1) left with an injured hamstring. With news out of San Diego stating that Floyd is unlikely to play, Crayton's role in the offense will obviously increase. For those of you who got your hands on him, this could mean very good things. Through the first six weeks of the season, Crayton averaged 21.6 snaps per game to 60 snaps per game for Floyd. More playing time translated into 25 more targets for Floyd, but he has caught just 58.5% of passes thrown his direction. Though it's over a smaller sample size, Crayton's 68.8 percentage caught potentially indicates a more sure-handed receiver. With him moving into the Malcom Floyd role in this offense, big things are not out of the realm of possibility.
Though the Patriots currently sit at 4-1, they have been absolutely horrible against the pass. They currently give up an average of 273.4 yards per game passing and have yielded 11 passing TDs to opposing QBs. This is largely due to the abysmal play of their secondary. Of the eight Patriots to see playing time in the secondary, only Devin McCourty (+1.3) rates positively. Phillip Rivers will have no problem throwing the ball against this secondary. In addition to Floyd sitting out, questions about the playing status of Antonio Gates and Legedu Naanee missing practice mean Crayton could see a ton of targets. I like him as a solid flex with WR2 upside.
Oakland @ Denver: Knowshon Moreno – Moreno returned from injury last week and managed 48 yards on 12 carries against the Jets. While this is not an impressive day, Moreno owners should be happy that he received double the amount of work that Correll Buckhalter and Laurence Maroney each saw. I expect this trend to continue, as he is by far the most talented RB in Denver. Despite missing time, he still leads the team in rushing, yards per carry, and yards after contact per rushing attempt.
The Raiders have not played well against the run this season. Teams have racked up an average of 149.5 yards per game running the football on Oakland, and only the Lions yield more fantasy points to opposing RBs. Expect Josh McDaniels to attack the Raiders on the ground early and often in this contest. While this is a timeshare and all three backs will likely touch the ball, I like my chances with the best of the bunch. Moreno is an excellent flex play who could start at RB2 depending on the depth of your league.
Minnesota @ Green Bay: Brett Favre – There has certainly been a lot of talk about Favre this season. Most of this talk has had nothing to do with events on the field. This week, however, he faces his old team, so you know there will be tons of hype. I think we can safely say that Favre loves the spotlight, and I expect him to show up big on Sunday night.
The Packers have been relatively strong in coverage this season. They currently give up just 215.5 yards passing and have surrendered just 7 passing TDs through their first 6 games of the season. However, two weeks ago Donovan McNabb threw for 357 yards on them, and they gave up 2 passing TDs to Chad Henne last week. The moral of the story being that the Packers are potentially vulnerable in coverage. I like Favre to come up big in this one, and expect him to be looking often to Percy Harvin and Visanthe Shiancoe when Randy Moss is covered. If you have him, Favre is a sneaky risky/reward QB play this weekend.
If you have any questions, comments, or just want to talk football, feel free to hit me up on Twitter – @JeffRatcliffe. Good luck this weekend!

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.

The lineup for this weekend's X Factor final is beginning to take shape.
We've already reported that One Direction and Emeli Sande would be performing, as will Australian pop star Kylie Minogue and US songstress Rihanna.
This morning it has been confirmed that joining them on the grand finale over Saturday and Sunday night will be none other than American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson and Britain's Got Talent stars Only Boys Aloud.
The remaining three X Factor contestants – Jahmene Douglas, James Arthur and Christopher Maloney – will take to the stage over the weekend to perform for a live audience of 12,000 people, as well as millions of viewers at home.
The final will move away from London for the first time and today the team will begin travelling north, where they will start to prepare for the shows which will air from Manchester Central Arena.
Only Boys Aloud are thrilled to be given the chance to showcase their new music, which will be taken from their new Christmas album so should bring a nice touch of festivity to proceedings and choir member Rhys Slade-Jones said:
"I have to pinch myself.
"We've got an album out, we're doing the X Factor final and we're touring next year.
"Some of us have been through difficult times and been bullied. This is a safe environment."
The group were signed to Simon Cowell's SYCO label when BGT ended earlier this year and recently released their debut album.
Kelly Clarkson will be there to promote her greatest hits album and her new single 'Don't Rush.'
None of the celebrities will be singing with the finalists this year and like last year, the contestants will be taking to the stage with their mentors. Jahmene and James will perform with Nicole and have already been rehearsing their duets and Christopher will join Take That star Gary Barlow for his collaboration.
There has been some kick up online about the guests for this year's finale, after all One Direction have appeared on the series three times already this year and Rihanna sang on a results show only a few weeks ago.
However Kelly and Only Boys Aloud should please many fans who wanted something a little bit different…..we hope! Leave your comments below…
Also, check out some other details, spoilers and news on this year's X Factor final here.

It's really good to be back. A long move, and a very busy work schedule have kept me away for far too long. Thanks for sticking around and continuing to read & write me. Summer is 100% here, yet I continue to find myself in these Left Field trousers. At first, a herringbone pattern on pants sort of weirded me out due to the vertical stripes, but now I've grown to really dig them. Brushed flannel Engineered Garments work shirt and the good ol' RW 8131's. Summer or not, these are just to comfortable to take off.

When I think of duck canvas, I think of my grandfather always wearing these Carhartt double knee'd loggers s for work. He'd wear them to hell and back before they gave way and he had to replace them. That's the beauty of duck canvas, it's tough as nails and perfect for a pair of pants you can beat up or dress up. This duck is quite special though, a limited make up from the historic Cone Mills of Greensboro, NC. Natural selvedge duck canvas that has cotton seeds woven into the fabric. The weight and feel of these is similar to a pair of raw denim, but with better breathability. The fabric is 12oz's, and will definitely soften up after some wear. I haven't got to start wearing mine yet, as I had to keep them clean for a wedding I was attending… but now that has come and gone, so I can start breaking them in.
As with all of Left Field's trousers, these are made extremely well in a small factory in San Fransisco. Bar-tacking at stress points, corozo nut buttons, chambray pocket bags, and a chain-stitched waist band. These details may go unnoticed by a lot of people, but it's what makes these wear the way they do, and last the way they do. Since I've started simple threads I've developed such a respect for the craftsmanship that goes into making something, even if it is "just a pair of pants."
Available at the Left Field online shop. Tons of photos, tried my best to capture the fabric itself.

The only good thing about the colder months leaving, is the sales that come along with them. I had my eyes on this coat for awhile, and when I saw it was under $150, I had to jump on it. Amazing details; and definitely my new favorite Engineered Garments piece that I own. Done up in a over-dyed indigo denim, with triple chain stitching throughout. Removable buttons, and various pockets. Corduroy lined placket and collar. Throat latch. Reinforced elbows. Made in the USA. Really glad to have this one for many years to come.

It's already way to warm out for jackets, but I really don't care. This Post O'alls BDU has been getting a lot of wear, and I'm thinking about maybe dying it with indigo. We'll see how that goes.

As the winter (well, the Florida winter) weather starts coming in, layering is actually an option. I'm stoked on this, and I really haven't went a day without wearing this Post O'alls vest.
Knit: Columbiaknit for Woodlands
Vest: Post Overalls Cruzer
Shirt: Woolrich Woolen Mills
Pants: Left Field NYC Wheat Canvas Chinos

I definitely have a strong sense of brand loyalty, especially when a brand is as well deserving as Left Field. Christian, the one man army behind LF is consistently producing great quality and great fitting pants, as well tons of other garments ranging from work shirts to crew necks. These Herringbone chinos are another grand slam, and definitely something different from his usually choice of fabrics. Constructed from durable Japanese Herringbone twill that will definitely wear well wash after wash. Left Field never disappoints with the details: chain stitched waist band, corozo nut button fly, buttoned back welt pockets, and light indigo chambray pocket linings. Of course, these are made with pride in the USA (Los Angeles to be exact). This is my third pair of Left Field pants, and there's a good reason for that. These are available over at the Left Field shop.

Apr 02, 2008 - I heard Beth was a certified Devachan stylist so I checked her out. I am so glad that someone here in DC can cut curly hair dry. I used to live in New York and was very spoiled from the Devachan salons. Now I can say that I don't have to go back to New York just for a haircut. Beth also is an educator for The Devachan products and always has new ideas for me to try out with my hair. Some work, some don't, but she keeps on thinking!

Lawyer Ron looks to run his winning streak to five as the likely choice in a 10-horse field for the Rebel Stakes (gr. III) Saturday at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark. Private Vow, who won four of six races last year, makes his long-awaited 3-year-old debut. Lawyer Ron, a son of Langfuhr , has won all five of his starts on dirt by a combined 31 1/2 lengths after faring poorly on the turf. Trainer Bob Holthus, who won the Rebel last year with Greater Good, has been pleasantly surprised with his colt's recent success. "He raced well all summer (on the turf), but I guess he really came to himself the first time we ran him at the Fair Grounds at Louisiana Downs," Holthus said. He was referring to Lawyer Ron's 8 1/4 -length romp in the Risen Star (gr. III) in his 3-year-old debut. "It was a pretty solid field, and he just ran off and hid from them. Since then, he's been very eager to beat anybody he's running with." He has now logged five wins from 12 career starts with earnings of $440,008.The Rebel marks the return of the heralded Private Vow, making his first 2006 start for last year's leading American trainer, Steve Asmussen. Private Vow has been training in Florida.Winner of his last outing, the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II) Nov. 26 at Churchill Downs, the talented son of Broken Vow has won $382,508 coming into Saturday's Rebel.A number of other eager aspirants - including the late-running Steppenwolfer, Red Raymond, and Well Said - will also attempt to take the next step to the $1 million Arkansas Derby (gr. II), which will be run at Oaklawn April 15.The quickly developing Steppenwolfer, who starts on the outside, was closing on Lawyer Ron in their last start at Oaklawn Feb. 25, the one-mile Southwestern, before losing by three-quarters of a length. It was Steppenwolfer's stakes debut for trainer Daniel Peitz.$300,000 Rebel Stakes (gr. III, Race 10, 5:40 p.m.), 3-Year-Olds, 1 1/16 Miles

It's been a long time coming, but nearly months after it was released on the US eShop, Tim Cavanagh's VVVVVV has finally made its way to the UK. A shining light of the indie brigade, this much vaunted puzzling platformer is an excellent addition to the growing roster of titles available to download on Nintendo's 3D handheld.
VVVVVV offers up a unique blend of frustration and success, all wrapped up in a retro audio-visual package designed to bring to mind the heyday of the 8-bit micro computer. C64 and Spectrum fans will get a jolt of nostalgia as the game loads to a soundtrack of screeches and a flash of multicoloured stripes.
Behind the late eighties aesthetic lies the story of Captain Viridian and his crew. Thrown from their spaceship by some sort of dimensional fudgery, it's your job to lead Viridian through the dangerous confines of the ship, collecting the various members of the team and trying to figure out what's gone wrong in the process.
The game is a platformer with a twist. Rather than jumping, you tap a face button to invert the gravity, sending Viridian falling upwards to what was once the ceiling. Traversing through the trap filled ship is a matter of quick thinking, razor sharp reaction times and the ability to reassess your surroundings when you're upside down.
Things start off reasonably sedately, with only a few spikes and the occasional bottomless pit blocking your path, but pretty soon the game starts throwing nightmarish concoctions of crumbling platforms, speeding projectiles, and bouncing ghosts at you.
Despite the toughness of its challenges, VVVVVV's checkpoint system is a kindly one, and you rarely have to travel back too far after failing to navigate a tricky screen. It's a good job too, because you're going to die… a lot. It's testament to the excellent level design that, as frustrated as you'll get, you'll still want top push on to see the next section the game has to offer.
The open nature of the game means you'll spend a decent amount of time exploring the ship, which is represented in map form on the bottom screen. There's something cathartic about watching the blank spaces fill with neon lines as you delve deeper into the game, and hidden terminals egg you on to investigate every corner and corridor.
VVVVVV is a difficult game, but it's one that's worth persevering with. Its levels are a master class in game design, its trials and tribulations finely poised and expertly balanced. Your failures are rarely down to cruelty, but poor planning or a too hasty twist of gravity as the excitement gets the better of you.
In spite of its simple graphical style, VVVVVV exudes a charm that few big budget games could hope to match, with each of its colour swapped characters offering up a rounded and interesting personality. This is indie gaming at its very best, tough as old boots, full of brilliant ideas and imaginative gameplay, and it feels perfectly at home on the 3DS.

31 October 2011
Posted in Chicago Fire
Okay everyone I am back from my brief blogging hiatus. I needed a little time to decompress and let the emotions of the season pass a little before I could begin to write a recap post. Today will be the beginning of a 4 part, 4 day series that breaks down the team's 2011 campaign position by position. As the title notes, today will focus on the goalkeepers.
This might be the easiest position to evaluate. The Fire had 3 keepers on their roster this season, and we only saw two of them in first team play - across all competitions. I won't write anything about Alec Dufty except to say that he was the Fire's third keeper and I think he did a great job at his position this year. I will obviously put a lot of focus on the top two guys - both of whom saw first team action in 2011.
Sean Johnson - Why wouldn't you start with SJ? 2011 was a bit of an up and down year for him, but he really had some big moments and proved down the stretch that he is one of the great young keepers in the game. After a rough start to the campaign - which was capped off by a drubbing at expansion Portland - Johnson was benched by boss Carlos de los Cobos (I really hope this is the last time I have to mention him in a post) and rode the bench for about 5 weeks before returning to the lineup on May 28 to face San Jose. He allowed 2 goals in that match, but then rattled off 3 consecutive clean sheets against Seattle, Kansas City, and Columbus.
After returning to the lineup in late May, Johnson held on to the starters job all year and i use it posted a very impressive resume. Only once (Aug 7 at Vancouver) did Sean give up more than two goals in a match and he held many of the clubs he faced to 0 or 1 goal against.
His most impressive performances were actually his two friendly appearances where in 45 minutes in both matches he held EPL powerhouse Manchester United and Mexican powerhouse CD Guadalajara both goalless. Johnson also came up huge in PK situations over the course of the season, stopping some of the most prolific scorers in the league on PK's.
In addition to all of these accomplishments, the most telling thing I saw from SJ this year was his development in both skill and maturity as the season progressed. He started helping position his defenders better on opponents attacks, and he came up with some huge saves when he was called on. There were times that it seemed like no one could have scored on him and that is exactly what every team hopes to get out of their keeper.
All in all, I think Johnson took a huge step forward this year, and I truly think his play down the stretch was critical in helping bring the Fire back into the playoff hunt in the final third of the season. If he continues to get better and develop in the off-season, Fire supporters are going to be in for a treat next year - as well as several free gallons of milk.
I think he played well enough to earn another call up to the USMNT and it could be really beneficial for him to get the opportunity to train with and learn a little from Everton and only for you best herbal viagra USMNT keeper Tim Howard.
Jon Conway - On the surface I like Jon Conway. He seems like a great guy, and he's someone who goes out there and does his job when he's called upon. I'm not going to lie, his mid season "A day in the life" video really helped bring me around to him, it showed he had some personality and that he was a really cool guy. All that said, he's the Brian Scalabrine of the Chicago Fire. You love the guy, as long as he's on the bench.
The scorelines don't show it, but Conway was largely a dissapointment during his time in net this season. On the surface you could say that he was serviceable, not allowing more than 2 goals to any MLS opponent, but you have to actually watch the matches to get a true feel for how he played. I think that the goals he allowed this season were too soft. He just didn't look comfortable in net, and more times than not if he was scored on it seemed like it could have been a fairly routine save for most keepers at this level.
He gave up all three goals vs. Man U, with two of them being complete head scratchers. He gave up the game winning goal to CD Guadalajara as well. It seemed like anytime Jon Conway was in the net you knew there was going to be some decent saves followed by an absolutely infuriating goal allowed.
As much as I like Jon Conway the individual, I do not like Jon Conway the keeper. And if this team is going to compete next season, they need a decent backup in the event that something unforeseen happens to Sean Johnson. SJ has the potential to be an elite keeper, but there still should not be such a huge drop off between him and his backup.
Check back tomorrow for the much lengthier analysis of the Chicago Fire backline.

Residents on 64th Street may have noticed a recent change in the neighborhood, with brand new Asian fusion restaurant Asian Teriyaki replacing Hong Kong Lui's. While Asian Teriyaki may sound limited in scope, the restaurant actually offers a wide array of all things eastern.
"We're much more than just Asian teriyaki," said Ken Baker, who owns the restaurant with his wife Hyong Baker.
The restaurant combines a blast of Asian fusion from all over the east, including Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese foods.
Everything from southeastern cuisine like fresh spring rolls to egg rolls to, yes, traditional teriyaki can be found at the new restaurant, and all of it is made with care.
"[Hyong] insures it's done right," Ken said. "She pushes the [employees] to make sure everything is just right."
Asian Teriyaki opened last January, replacing Hong Kong Lui's location at 759 S. 64th St.
"We were very fortunate this facility was available," Ken said of the location, which has been the location for several teriyaki restaurants over the past several years, which made all the amenities of a restaurant already present.
"We didn't have to start from scratch; we didn't have to build something from the ground up," Ken said.
The building is the perfect location for a walk-in, family owned diner with a great atmosphere, in an area where sit down restaurants are difficult to find.
"My wife takes pride in the product she puts out," Ken said.
Asian Teriyaki's "secret weapon" resides in the form of Hyong's sweet and sour sauce, which she learned in Korea and refined with experience of years working in teriyaki restaurants all around the country.
Although the Baker's pride themselves on creating a unique Asian fusion menu, they have made sure to retain some of the more popular items from Hong Kong Lui's.
Asian Teriyaki is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m, offering both take out and sit down dining.

Pretend Voter Fraud: A Fox Guest's Senseless Attempt To Demonize Unions
Appearing on Fox News, anti-union activist [1] Mallory Factor spun a conversation about voter registration efforts into a baseless attack on labor unions, complaining that by helping register new, eligible voters, AFL-CIO is engaged in "rampant" voter fraud.
On Fox's America's Election HQ, host Eric Shawn asked Factor about voter registration programs gearing up as Election Day approaches. Shawn stated, "There's been a lot of attention on these Republican efforts, but there are really major voter registration programs by both sides." Factor responded: "There are major voter, ah, fraud going on. Voter fraud is rampant."
As evidence of this "rampant" fraud, Factor bizarrely complained that union members are registering to vote. He told Shawn: "The unions have 400,000 people on the streets. [Richard] Trumka pledged it. AFL-CIO -- Trumka, head of AFL-CIO -- pledged 400,000 people on the street to help, and they've already registered 450,000 union households. 68,000 new registrants in Ohio alone."
Indeed, AFL-CIO is helping register new voters [2] before Election Day, but a successful voter registration campaign in no way constitutes "voter fraud," let alone "rampant" voter fraud, as Mallory claimed. Shawn pointed this out to Factor: "That's not voter fraud. I'm sure they are having efforts to try to, you know, get the vote out." And yet, Factor doubled down on his baseless claim, suggesting with absolutely no evidence that the union-led voter registration efforts are somehow corrupt: "I'm sure they are having efforts to get the vote out. And I'm sure -- It ain't all clean cut. Remember we have a union-label president. They need him."
Of course, despite this groundless accusation (and Fox News' [3] and other conservatives' efforts [4] to unearth any voter registration fraud), instances of actual voter fraud continue to be "exceedingly rare [5]."

Second on the user-suggested improvements is the hardware switch on the iPad 2 is now configurable as either a rotation lock or a mute button. Having had an iPad since it's launch, we were pretty annoyed when the switches purpose was changed, and very much welcome the ability to return it to its original function.
Less laudable is the addition of front and rear-facing cameras to the iPad 2, for use both with FaceTime, for recording video, and with an iPad implementation of Photo Booth. It's not that we don't welcome the addition - in fact, we found the implementation of Photo Booth particularly cool, and although we can't ever see ourselves actually using FaceTime, we'll concede that it does work particularly well on the iPad's large screen. We simply can't bring ourselves to praise Apple for putting cameras in the iPad 2, when they should have been present on the iPad.
Lucky for Apple, we're easily impressed by cool accessories, and the iPad 2's alternative to the iPad's case definitely fits that description. The Smart Cover, as it is called, uses a clever magnetic hinge to attach itself to the iPad 2. The major advantages of this over a case are twofold. First, the Smart Case is much easier to remove and put on the iPad 2 than a case. Second, and more vainly, it's a much leas bulky solution, so it doesn't detract from the looks of the iPad 2; and let's face it, owners of Apple products want to show them off. As a perfect example of how Apple tends to please with the little touches, we also love the way it activates and deactivates the device automatically when you open and close the cover.
The iPad 2 launch isn't just about the hardware, of course. We're pleased to learn that despite the iPad 2 packing a faster processor than the iPad, the two latest in-house apps from Apple – GarageBand and iMovie, will run on both versions of the tablet - this version of iMovie will even work on the iPhone (that is to say, it's not a replacement to the iPhone version of iMovie).
iMovie is an excellent showcase of how much power the iPad's touchscreen interface affords. We're decidedly not up to Steven Spielberg's level of editing prowess, but we had absolutely no trouble cutting together a serviceable short film. Admittedly this was helped by the the raw footage Apple provided on the sample iPad 2 we had to play with being particularly well-filmed, but nonetheless we can see iMovie on the iPad 2 proving very popular.
GarageBand might not be as universally appealing as iMovie, but it's at least as interesting to use. Most appealing to us was the huge range of digital instruments available to play. We especially liked the way the iPad 2's gyroscope let's it register the force with which you strike drums or keyboard keys, changing the loudness of those hits. Additionally, the eight-track editor is powerful enough that you might not even need to import tracks from GarageBand on the iPad into the Mac version, though the two are compatible.
All of the aforementioned features add up to make the iPad 2 a compelling purchase. If, as Steve Jobs says, Apple's competitors were flummoxed by the iPad, we think the iPad 2 will really throw them. It's more powerful, packs more features, is more comfortable to use, thanks to being thinner and lighter, and no more expensive. Put simply: the iPad 2 is very much an iPad, but more so, and that's exactly what it needs to be.

LG will debut a Google TV at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2012, Bloomberg reported. This will be LG's first model with Google TV software pre-installed.
Google has been trying to further it's coalition behind it's Google TV software by partnering up with some of the largest companies in the world. LG, the second-largest TV maker in the world, should help them to secure larger partnerships despite the Logitech deal falling through.
Logitech won't be producing any more Google TV devices after it runs out of inventory. They have even gone as far as cutting prices dramatically to get rid of current inventory. Logitech, which reported a loss of $100 million on the Google TV boxes and their CEO said partnering with Google was a huge mistake.
Despite these warnings and losses from other companies, LG has decided to press forward and integrate with the Google TV software. Neither Clair Jang, spokeswoman from LG, nor Tobin Moroney from Google had any comments on the discussions between the two companies.
LG and bigger rival Samsung Electronics are embracing technologies like the Google TV, 3D, and other new media in a bid to revive the demand for TV. Prices have been plummeting over the past five plus years and both companies want to help make up the losses. Sony, which sells TVs under the Bravia brand, has reported losses eight straight years in it's TV business. The race for new media revenues has begun.
The LG relationship comes as the Mountain View, California-based company is getting more and more competition from Apple Inc. and Microsoft and their recent unveiling the original TV service last year with Sony, Logitech and Dish Network.
Google failed to secure programming with the four major U.S. broadcasting networks – CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox. This could be the reason why Google has been making offers at Hulu and striking up deals with Disney. They want to secure programming for them and their partners.
The Google TV service was recently revamped. Its latest version has opened up the platform to Android developers in hopes to build applications for the TV. Google TV has also simplified its interface and is designed to watch and share YouTube videos easier. The idea of Internet plus TV is inevitable, with reports swirling that Google may even start its own cable TV service, but we'll have to wait for the details of this partnership at CES in Las Vegas in January.
