January 15, 2013
The room was full, the faces mostly young and diverse with bright eyes and, as I found out an hour later, bright minds. I was at the Toronto Debate Toastmasters on the grounds of U of T.
Six brave and talented individuals got up in front of their peers and debated the issue of the day: "should all businesses engage in impact investing?"
We heard about the role of government, TOMS shoes, the utility of Facebook, the idea that companies should leave it to the charities who are the experts rather than engage in social issues. A group of six – half for whom English wasn't their first language – they built their arguments following strict protocol while judges in the audience counted ums and ahs and checked grammar, timing and style.
For me this was all a revelation. As Laura Mitchell told me after the event, "there are people who would rather die than stand up and speak in front of an audience… like, they would rather be in the coffin than give a eulogy." While I'm no shrinking violet, I've always been nervous speaking in front of groups larger than can squeeze around a large dining table. But as I navigate Toronto; this big city full of successful, brash people, I always think I'm the only one that suffers from doubt, sweats, and loses sleep the night before giving a speech or sitting on a panel. But here I saw young, ambitious, bright people stand up and take their fear by the throat. It was powerful and it was inspirational to see people embracing their fear, overcoming it and giving constructive feedback to each other – all with the goal of self-improvement.
I was there to talk about storytelling, something that I should be able to talk about by now. But as always the process of preparing for any speaking engagement fills me with dread. I want to be concise. I want to be relevant. I want to be original. I want to be insightful. I want to be educational. And I want to be comfortable telling my story and I want to see nodding heads, smiles and questions.
And on this night I mostly did okay. But everyone reviewed my presentation and in the minutes they had to spare, literally 2 or 3, I was handed 50 clear, thoughtful analyses of my presentation. They pointed out that I emphasize the use of clear, concise communications and they suggested that the word denouement might not have been the best choice of words when describing story arc.
They caught me breaking one of my golden rules – the one time that I did.
I suggested that storytelling focusing too much on the WHAT, the laundry list, is not the most successful way of engaging an audience. I emphasized the importance of taking about outcomes, results and stories that prove or support your theme rather than long lists. And lastly one observant attendee pointed out that when people asked me questions at the end that while I was considering my answer that I would look down or away. A bad habit that helps me shut out the stimulus and quickly gather my thoughts. Will work on that.
They asked me about my sources, books that might help them, articles or videos that would help, so I promised to write this blog. Here are some of the great things we found on the web that helped me construct my Top 10 List for Successful Storytelling.
1. Check out Brainpickings for several links to great storytellers tips. From Vonnegut to Kerouac and a video featuring Ken Burns, this one posting is a cornucopia of curation.
2.This is gem on the power of Malcolm Gladwell's storytelling.
3. Eric Galen wrote an interesting blog on what he calls the "hit zone" – the sweet spot between your uniqueness, your authentic self and the sellable self. Check out his simple venn diagram.
4. I also recommend you search Pinterest for storytelling infographics if you are a visual learner.
5. On Writing by Stephen King is genius for anyone who wants to be a better writer — fiction or non-fiction.
6. As well, since there were so many in the audience that are in the middle of sorting out their own story, I suggested Po Bronson's What Should I Do With My Life because the take away from that book is that the meandering course is the course of many successful, fulfilled individuals.
My last suggestion, one I didn't need to mention to this particular group, one of the best ways to become a good storyteller is to get out there and start telling your story.
And try Toastmasters as well, it might be a great step for you. For more informaiton check out their website. Their next debate meeting is at 5:45pm on Jan 28 at the U of T Faculty Club in Toronto.

Williams technical director Mike Coughlan has admitted that the team must revert the specification of its car to closer to the launch configuration.
The team has struggled throughout the Australian Grand Prix weekend, with Pastor Maldonado describing the car as "undriveable" after qualifying.
While Coughlan said that it would be "simplistic" to describe the team as having to revert all the way to the launch specification, he accepts that the development direction has been wrong after a promising first test for the FW35.
"The philosophy is to backtrack a little bit to where we thought we had made a significant step forward," Coughlan told AUTOSPORT.
"Let's start again from there and have a look at what directions we took.
"It's a little bit simplistic, but the basic gist is that we will go back to that [launch specification] where we thought we had made a performance increase."
Williams was forced to abandon its latest exhaust/sidepod configuration after back-to-backing it with the previous version on Friday.
But although Coughlan accepted that this is an area where Williams is struggling, it is not the sole area of focus.
"There are some aspects of exhaust blowing which are quite difficult to either model or to analyse," said Coughlan.
"We were late to this game [harnessing exhaust gases for downforce], we freely admitted that we had a bit of catching up to do and several teams have had multiple goes at it over time.
"We see a direction, we see where we are good at it and we see where we have a little bit to catch up on.
"It's one of them [the areas of focus] as it is an area that reaps significant reward, but there isn't a single area that we don't constantly think of making better."
Despite the problems, Coughlan insists that there is no fundamental issue with the car that would force a redesign.
He is hopeful that progress can be made at next week's Malaysian Grand Prix, with bigger upgrades possible as early as the third round of the championship in China.
"We don't have a fundamental flexing issue [for example]," he said.
"We had a core car that worked very well, which gives us the belief that we have either gone wrong in some aerodynamic pieces or in some of the steps that we've done.
"We don't believe we have a redesign to do. We have taken a wrong direction and we will come back from that."

For farmworkers, ensuring you have shade and water in a farm field isn't as easy as most people think. Now, some advocates in California are trying to change that.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture just announced a plan to add as many as 4,000 EBT machines to farmers markets in an effort to help low-income people eat healthier.
A winner of this year's Goldman Environmental Prize, Sofia Gatica organized women in her city to study the health effects of agrochemicals in the soy fields and worked to get a dangerous pesticide banned. Now she's taking on Monsanto.
What will happen if USDA inspectors leave big poultry processors to "self-regulate"? The result could be worse than pink slime.
We've collected some of the most important things you can do to speak up for a greener food system right now.
The food reporter talks about her new book, working in farm fields and Walmart, and the recent attention she's received from Rush Limbaugh.
With his third cookbook, The Inspired Vegan, this chef and food justice advocate is reintroducing communities of color to the traditional foods that will keep them healthy.

There has been much talk regarding the Chargers' decision to part ways with running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
Owner Dean Spanos provides the best sound we've heard.
Of course, the title to this blurb sort of gives it away.
There has been much talk regarding the Chargers' decision to part ways with running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
Owner Dean Spanos provides the best sound we've heard.
Of course, the title to this blurb sort of gives it away.
I want
you want
he wants
she wants
Spanos wantS
get it?
It will be a tie! Neither will ever win one!
Guess that means LT won't ever get a ring, Cause the chargers will always choke.
Evidently, you're not a fan of verb conjugation?
One would think you'd at least like to pretend to be a journalist.
Caveman write article.
You read.
"Spanos want L.T. to win a Super Bowl, after the Chargers do"
Ahahahahahaha, nice try.
How sweet of him, considering he cost LT a SB when he traded Brees off the team for a QB that would take a few years to mature. LT's prime years were wasted away in a new QB's development.
Why wouldn't Spanos want that, doesn't every owner….
LT Lawrence Taylor already won a super bowl…
Was that Dean Spanos, or Tom Arnold?
wtf florio, now we have to watch 30 sec commercials…way to keep it real, nbc style…
Thanks for telling us what the video said so I don't have to watch the commercials.
I'm not sure about winning, but Tomlinson's best chance of GETTING to the Superbowl is to play the Chargers in the AFC championship. That seems to work for everyone.
Yep, gotta join the others in chastising you for the damn commercials. It so amazingly sucks that it is hard to describe how much so. Hate the network television treatment on this once "insider" blog. I still read it, but am boycotting the video. Your good fortune has become one more comsumer-style pain in the ass for we, the loyal fans of this blog.
The "LT = Lawrence Taylor" comments are weird. Is it so mind-blowing that two people might have the same nickname? "Ladainian Tomlinson" is a mouthful; just let him be "LT," too. Nobody is getting them confused, I promise.
Are these the same people that fly into a rage when Adrian Peterson is called "AP" instead of "AD"?
If you would have acquired a couple of good run blocking linemen a couple of years ago, you and LT might've already won a SB or two. Together. For the Chargers.

My name is Princeton, and I am a professional photographer amongst other things. I am a jack of many different trades, but I am truly passionate about photography. I am currently looking to expand my portfolio and shoot some new models. Check out my website at ( http://www.boaphotog.com ) Its been live for about 2 years now and Im revamping a lot of things. Quality, Art, and Professionalism are just 3 of the things I am looking for. Check it out and let me know what you think!
If you are interested in working with me then dont be shy! I love my job and all that it entails. I love working with creative artists (MUA's, Stylists, Clothing Designers, and models...etc.) I love doing collaborations with great professionals, because we all make each other better. If you are a beginning model I would be glad to help you but dont pass yourself off as a professional when you know nothing about the industry or your own body and style. Its about more than just a pretty face, and a nice body. You have to know your stuff as a professional. You have to talk and WALK a good game! If you can do that then great but if you are learning and you have the potential to be a professional then dont be afraid to ask for help!
I do TF/TFCD but I am very selective when doing so. I normally only do TF/TFCD only when it will benefit my own portfolio, or open doors to other connections. I know my worth and any model I have worked with will stand by my professionalism. Depending on the shoot or the models I am willing to negotiate my prices so dont hesitate to ask!

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – In a neutral site game between UC Santa Cruz and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Mass.) at the Gilbert Arena it was the Banana Slugs to steal the second of three games in the 2013 Posada Royale Classic Tournament hosted by Cal Lutheran.
Though the teams were tied twice and the lead changed four times, it was all during the first eight minutes of action before UCSC took control of the momentum. Trailing by one at the 13:39 mark of the first half the Banana Slugs used a 13-2 run and never looked back. With just under nine minutes to play in the first stanza Geena Giovannetti knocked down a three-pointer to put her Slugs up by 10 and the squad would maintain a double figure lead throughout the remainder of regulation.
UCSC pushed its advantage to 19 points at the intermission by way of a jumper from Leah Parrish with just 13 ticks to go before the break. After halftime the Banana Slugs cruised. Late in the second Tyler Stewart connected for a three-pointer to produce the largest differential of the game at 32 points at 64-32.
UC Santa Cruz (10-6) spread out the offense today with 12 different players contributing to the tally. Parrish led all players with 13 points and Sarah Mackey was next in line for the Slugs with eight. Tyler Willis handed out three assists today to share the game-lead. Defensively, Lashay Alexander came down with a game-high seven rebounds followed by six from Parrish and Giovannetti nabbed a game-high five steals.
WPI (3-5) was paced by nine points from Dani Davis on a trio of three-pointers with Yasmeen Luna chipping in six as nine different Engineers netted as least one point. Siena Mamayek shared the game-high with three assists. On the glass, both Mamayek and Tess Nogueira grabbed six boards and seven players had a steal.
Tomorrow, Monday, Dec. 29 the 2013 Posada Royale Winter Tournament will conclude when WPI faces off with host Cal Lutheran (3-7) at 2:00 p.m. inside the Gilbert Arena.
Box Score: UCSC 64, WPI 37

Help picking drivers for small enclosure for large room
I'm helping a friend set up a 2.1 system for a house he is building and I could use some assistance determining which drivers to use. The speakers will go with a sub (probably a Stereo Integrity 18") mounted in the middle of the two speakers which are on either side of a TV.
The speakers are going to be in-walls with us building an actual box that will slide into the wall. Only the front baffle will extend out past the sheet rock. Due to this limited depth the box isn't going to have much airspace.
Right now I think I can get at most about .3 cubic feet although something in the .2 to .25 would be better as WAF is definitely priority number one on the project (I'm doing all I can to keep sound quality on equal footing).
I'm currently looking at doing a TMM setup using the XT25 in a waveguide (inspired by SpinMonster's design). What mid drivers would work with little airspace but still get down low enough to cross over to the sub? 6.5" is the maximum diameter that will fit. With the waveguide I plan on crossing over the high end around 2k. I'm thinking with the limited airspace it will be a sealed box. Also with these being in-walls can I expect much of a boost to the low end from the lower frequencies sound radiating off of the wall?
It is a large space (30' x 26') and the system will be used for movies and music (50/50).
Thanks for the help and let me know if more information would help.

Just shooting in the dark...
You're going to model the crossover I suppose. If you mean you have that available space for the MTM or MMT that means 2x drivers what is not good. Is just a space for a very small driver, meaning 2.5L (each), I guess. Can you clarify whether this is your point, with the space available in the wall for each speaker (2x midwoofers)? Maybe you can use two small ones versus one 6"?!

I had the same dilemma when looking for a suitable woofer to play in the tiny 2l sealed encosure of the BMW 5-series. Out of about 15 drivers tested, all 5.25", the SB15MFC 4 ohm version was superior in low end extension. It also has a very nice mid and with little work to address the peak in freq. response, could be crossed easily at 3-3.2Khz.
The XT25 is a very nice tweeter but people usually get lured by its low Fs and low price. You`ll need an RLC circuit with it however, otherwise it rings badly under 2Khz - very audible. To absolutely level down the impedance peak, use a parallel notch centered at 550Hz of 1mH/82uF/3.9ohm. Depending on your friend`s listening spl, you could do 12db at 2.2-2.3Khz but if he plays it with more than 20 watts, it will distort a lot. Better used 2.5Khz up if a shallower slope is preferred or in a waveguide.

Thanks for the input.
Mario - The plan is to use a waveguide with the XT25 but I'm open to other tweeter recommendations with and without a waveguide.
whgeiger - I'm bothering going into walls because the other option I was given was for the speakers to be in a credenza that is on the floor. The main listening location will be less than 15 degrees off axis so no toe-in won't be too much of an issue. The wall is already framed in so increasing the depth of it isn't an option (I will ask and double check though).
Inductor - The entire box volume will be around .25 cubic feet +/- .05 cubic feet (7 liters +/- 1.5 liters). This space will house two midwoofers. 6.5" is just the largest diameter that will fit. Any two drivers 5" to 6.5" would be fine. I'd like to use two midwoofers for the extra efficiency.
Another option would be to just use the wall cavity as the enclosure as a infinite baffle setup. There would be 2.5 cubic feet of space in one cavity and 4 cubic feet in the other. Anything special I should look at in midwoofers for this sort of setup?

TMM is pointless for an in wall speaker. 7L is too small for 1,
nevemind 2, 6.5" units. See Zaph|Audio - ZA5 Speaker Designs with ZA14W08 woofer and Vifa DQ25SC16-04 tweeter.
The ZA5.2iw TM in wall option can use a 7L sealed cabinet.

Its a big room. Something more ambitious :
For want of a better option : Zaph|Audio - ZDT3.5
Build it into the wall but use the centre channel crossover *.
Built as a TMBB or BTMB tweeter 12" below seated ear height.
Built as a MTBB or BMTB tweeter 12" above seated ear height.
Now a clever bit : Insert stiff foam (sort of stuff used for seating)
into the wall cavity to define about 1 cuft of rear space. 1' to 2'.
Though porous air flow is poor and it will define a lossy air space.
Normal box stuff in the air space, foam on the back, and stuff.
The seating foam will kill any issues of the vertical airspace.
rgds, sreten.
* As far as I can work it out the centre channel midrange rise will
be compensated by the wall mounting to end up with something
very near the balance that is intended for normal L&R boxes.

sreten - My thinking for going with TMM is for the increased efficiency and lower distortion on the midbass driver. 6.5" is just the maximum width I can use. That isn't necessarily the size I'm looking at. Smaller is fine.
With the crossover to the sub being in the 80 to 100 Hz region so the mains don't need to go very deep.
I like the idea of using the wall cavity itself as the box. My concern with that it will basically end up being a box that is partly made out of sheet rock. With the sub taking care of the low end is this not a concern?
Also, do you really think there will be much of a benefit going with Zaph's 3.5 way design over using a waveguide with the XT25? SpinMonster got some very good measurements with the waveguide - XT25 combo.
Thanks for the link to Zaph's ZA5 page I hadn't seen that before. His ZA5.3iw is basically what I'm looking to do. I see he gives advice on how to properly setup a wall cavity to use it as the box. I'll be reviewing that in the next couple of days to use some of his ideas.

These are really good (the one'son top). Ans had no issues playing reasonably loud outside. 10 litres (0.35 ft^3) for the 2 silver flute W14. These boxes are 13 litre with the TL for the mid-tweeter, with a dome you can get down to 10 litre (but suffer a loss in fidelity). A more complex (but likely less expensive) XO would be needed.

First Amendment Advocate, Vol. 1, No. 1, February 2000
The Newsletter of the Oklahoma Chapter of Americans United
The Real Road to Religious Liberty
By Dr. Bruce Prescott, Executive Director of Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists
America stands at a crossroad. One road was constructed by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson when our nation was founded. Another road is being built by OK Rep. Ernest Istook to lead our nation in a different direction.
The road that Madison and Jefferson built was founded on the bill of rights. The First Amendment to the Constitution guaranteed religious freedom for every citizen. It created a broad road. A road wide enough that people of different faiths and beliefs could travel along the same civil highway in peace and harmony. People could keep right and travel safely in opposite religious directions on the same freeway. People moving in different branches along the same route could travel safely by staying within their lanes, passing with care, and not impeding the progress of other traffic. People were free to move from religious lane to religious lane easily and change directions safely. Negotiating the First Amendment road only required that travelers show common courtesy and simple respect to those traveling in divergent lanes and opposite directions on the same civil roadway.
The Madison-Jefferson highway has served us well for more than two hundred years. As will happen on any public roadway, some travelers will break the law, others will hog the roadway and, inevitably, accidents will occur. Our legal system has a long and distinguished history of resolving the conflicts that have arisen on the First Amendment roadway. A pothole here and there might need to be filled in, but it is still the best highway for religion that the world has ever seen. There certainly is no need for blocking it off with a constitutional barricade.
Congress is currently considering closing the Madison-Jefferson highway. That would be the effect of U.S. Rep. Earnest Istook's mislabeled "Religious Freedom Amendment" (H.J. Res. 66). This amendment redefines the meaning of religious freedom and replaces the First Amendment road with a narrow, hazardous detour to a one way toll road.
Istook's toll road is a political payoff to religious road hogs dissatisfied with the First Amendment. They resent rules requiring common courtesy and simple respect for the convictions of religious minorities. These road hogs are working to revoke laws that prohibit religious majorities from routing all traffic in a single direction.
Istook's bill empowers the majority in each locality to determine which direction the religious highway runs through their community. When questioned on CBS TV about which god should receive public recognition, Istook replied, "They will just decide locally." Which prompted James Dunn, former Baptist Joint Committee Director, to protest that, on Istook's roadway, the god of the "majority rules."
What happens to the people worshiping the god of the road less traveled? On Istook's road the children of lesser gods (minority faiths) will pay their tolls (taxes) only to find that their lanes have been permanently diverted to narrow, obstructed, feeder roads below the highway. How long can we reasonably expect them to look up and smile at the smug faces speeding past them on the freeway above? How long will it take for each religion to create its own locality where it controls the roadway? What happens where the expressways of different faiths intersect? Head-on collisions? No reputable civil engineer would propose such a system for the traffic of a civil society, but a misguided coalition of religious social engineers thinks Istook's system will be better than the system that Madison and Jefferson gave us.
The primary effect of Istook's amendment will be to make it legal for the government to promote religious teaching and instruction. Specifically, the bill provides constitutional authorization for governments to support pervasively sectarian religious schools with taxpayer dollars. In effect, it proposes a highway full of dangerous, hairpin curves that ends on the schoolyard.
Once a system of parochial schools, segregated according to religious convictions, has replaced our system of public education, where will America's children learn to respect the beliefs of others? How long will it take for normal rivalries between competing schools to turn into violent conflicts between competing religions? Is a school system like the one in Northern Ireland really better than our own? Can we not see that our nation's forefathers posted the First Amendment as a sign to warn us that every road merging the lanes of religion and government leads to a dead end?
The real road to religious freedom is still the road that Madison and Jefferson built.
Everyone who has benefited from traveling on that highway needs to call or write their representatives in Congress. Let them know you prefer the flowering of diverse faith along the First Amendment freeway to the religious blight that will surely surround Istook's toll road.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

convert wood fireplace to gas fireplace
2 Attachment(s)
Hi, i have a wood fireplace I'd like to convert to a gas fireplace, and take all the bricks off and replace em with marble. I know this is not an easy job, I need hire licensed people to install the fireplace, and I will install the marble myself. my question, anyone has done this before? what is the cost to convert a wood to gas? how do I cut the marble?
the first pic is the wood fireplace, the second photo is the one i want to build.
Why not just go over the brick with the marble?
How far is the nearest gas line for the new gas fireplace?
Does this chimney vent any other appliance? furnace, water heater...?
You will need to have a gas line run and maybe an electric line for some gas fireplaces (electronic ignition).
The insert and install of the insert may range around 1,500 - 2,500 depending on the model you choose. May need a flue liner if it is not a direct vent model.
Then factor in the marble and any other items.
I would not recommended gas fireplace. it can create problem sometimes. You have to keep children away from it. if can contact expert for it..
I agree that you definately need to have a fireplace expert evaluate your chimney. I see much less hazard with a gas unit than I do with a woodburning unit. Keeping kids away from it applies to both however. :huh:
You could do the marble yourself (tiles). A good wetsaw will cut it.
The gas plumbing and work on the actual fireplace needs to be done by a professional. Running gas to the unit could get rather involved.

Speaking Silence
Thought's New Regime
Two weeks ago, taking a lunchtime walk, I saw the first dogwood blossoms and heard a genuine bird chorus in the trees, as opposed to the occasional tweet. Today on the same walk the birds were still out in force and magnolia buds had begun to appear. In spite of the cold, the grey skies, and the recent historic rain, spring is on its way.
Not that many decades ago, perhaps ten or less, the annual change of seasons was momentous. It determined what could be grown, what could be stored, what could be eaten. For many it decided where one lived, and for everyone it determined how. Now, though, we have grown accustomed to the seasonal cycle. Technology has made the seasons less relevant. They no longer oversee most western lives to any great extent, except when deciding whether to bundle up or when it is time to wear linen.
Climate change may change that as present technologies fail to help us cope with alterations in weather patterns. We may once again have to decide much of our lives in response to seasons. As comfortable as we have become with our world, we are likely to have to learn to live in a new one, at least until we can create new technologies. Climate change promises to remake the human world.
The rapid secularization of the world is somewhat analogous. Religious people have long known that the world is not what it was prior to about 1450. Modernism changed the world irrevocably for the religious. But that 15th-century upheaval may be small in comparison to its culmination in the secular upheaval of the last sixty years or so. I doubt that many foresaw the rapidity with which the secular and implicitly atheistic world would become the norm in the West after World War II. I'm sure that few of us have thought about how we should respond to that change.
One way is to proceed as if nothing has really changed, to assume that we are just seeing more of the same rather than something new. We say "yes" to God; explicitly or implicitly others say "no." And that's all there is to it. That is a reasonable assumption, especially if we listen to some of the louder, more dogmatic voices of atheism who tend to repeat the old attacks on religion: their strident no to our insistent yes. But a strong atheism is more than just the assertion that God is dead.
Nietzsche's fool in the marketplace announcing God's death also announces a new face of atheism. As Gilles Deleuze well recognizes, Nietzsche's point is that it is not enough for atheism to replace God with man if man then has the ontological position and significance that God had before (Pure Immanence71). That's just more of the same with a new character at the center: God was the measure of all things, now man is; the transcendence of human reason and sympathy replaces the transcendence of God, but the world is still anchored in transcendence.
Perhaps a lot of what passes for atheism today, particularly that which amounts to nothing more than no longer paying attention to God one way or another, is merely more of that old atheism. But what if, as seems to be happening, the atheism that Nietzsche longed for comes to pass?

Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages 2006
Winemaker Notes
This is a classic Cinq Cepages with signature notes of blackberry jam, red raspberry, milk chocolate and violet. The palate offers a rich, dark fruit density surrounded by well-structured tannins. Layers of generous black plum and fresh-picked blackberries combine with notes of black tea and mocha. This wine has beautiful oak integration and a lushness throughout that leads to a lingering finish with hints of blackberry and clove.
Critical Acclaim
Showing the usual balance and harmony of this bottling, which is made from the five Bordeaux varieties, the '06 nonetheless lacks a bit of the richness of other vintages. It's beautifully clean and dry, with sound currant, blackberry, herb tea and cedar flavors, but is missing a certain fatness in the middle. Best now–2012.
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Cinq Cepages (in this vintage, truly a Cabernet Sauvignon rather than a proprietary red as it is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot) possesses soft, seductive notes of cedarwood, roasted herbs, licorice, red and black currants, and dusty, loamy soil undertones. Medium to full-bodied and silky-textured, it can be enjoyed in its youth or cellared for a decade.

What Does A Ketogenic Paleo Diet Look Like?
Update: I did a (failed) ketosis experiment on myself that you can read about here, here, here, and here. Jimmy Moore is dropping weight with the fervor of a college wrestler right now on his experimental ketogenic diet. In fact, he's lost about 47 pounds in the last 3 months, and he's still going. He's an awesome guy and he's been struggling with his weight for a while now, so I'm psyched for him to say the least. He gives updates … Continue reading

I use Winchester Ranger T 180gr (RA40T). I would also not hesitate to use Federal HST 180gr, or Speer Gold Dot 180gr.
Tactical Defense Solutions has all 3 in stock. The HST is larger expanding, but I ordered the Rangers before the HST became available. All about $30 per box of 50.
You could pick a load off the list at Best Choices for Self Defense Ammo and be ok
In Florida you have no restrictions on ammo.

Erin Andrews 911 Emergency Call
After spotting some suspicious people creeping around her Georgia home last week, the ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews immediately called 911 for a complaint. The Playboy sexiest sportscaster, who became famous for the alleged 'Erin Andrews peephole video' that leaked online, is now being stalked by paparazzis and reporters trying to get a hunch on what's she's been doing lately. The Erin Andrews peephole tape has been very popular in the past couple of weeks that the effects of the publicity has dogged her even in her own home. It seems that people, especially those jolly good reporters, are still trying to invade Erin Andrews privacy. Now we're talking Britney Spears treatment for crying out loud.
Check out the Erin Andrews 911 call audio after the jump.

Question: Would you buy a "buyback?"
Exploring buying a 2011 or 2012 rather than new 2013 (hate that first year depreciation). Came across a BMW Dealer (verified he is actual dealer) who had very low mile 2011's. I called about them and sales person said original owner of one of them (a 550 xi) had mechanical problems so BMW replaced the car. He called it a "buyback."
Another was a car from out of the dealer area and salesperson said it was a "car we bought from BMW" but did not explain.
First one sounds like might have been a "lemon" buyback and I wonder how BMW treats warranty for such cars.
The second one I don't understand what it means when a dealer says they "bought a used car from BMW"--demo, loaner, another lemon?
One car was built in March of 2011 so possibly beyond "early build" issues that might have occurred with the new 2011 model year 550's--the other was built December, 2010.

For the series on "What do I really believe," another question asked whether I believe there really is a Devil? It seems a rather irrelevant question as there is no such purveyor of evil in Roman tradition. It does, however, recall philosophical questions which pertain to all religious traditions.Epicurus asked:"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Selfie with squirrel goes awry
AUBURN, MAINE- A teenager's attempt at a selfie with a squirrel didn't go quite as planned.
Brian Genest says he saw what appeared to be a friendly squirrel in a park when he took a trip to a college in Florida.
He took the selfie in John Chestnut Park near Tampa but the squirrel got spooked by the noises of the camera and the flash.
It jumped under his shirt and clung to his back.
His mom took photos of the drama and posted them on her son's Facebook page and says he wasn't hurt.
She says he got close to the squirrel to pose for the picture by making clicking sounds with his tongue.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello and thank you for contacting Just Answer. I am an expert here and I look forward to assisting you today. If at any point any of my answers aren't clear please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.
You can't own or possess a firearm, including for hunting, if you have been convicted of Domestic Violence. That's a federal law.
It is an act known as the Lautenberg Amendment and you can read about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Violence_Offender_Gun_Ban
Under federal law you could bow hunt, since a bow isn't a firearm, but several sources have written that they contacted the DOW and they told them a conviction of DV meant they couldn't use a bow either but there is no statute that states that.
Thank you

(CNSNews.com) – The total outstanding balance on all of the U.S. mortgages that have been incorporated into mortgage-backed securities, the financial instruments at the heart of the financial crisis, is $6.6 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve – a sum that dwarfs the $700 billion originally requested by the Treasury Department for the bailout.
The outstanding balances on these securitized mortgages accounts for 59 percent of all money now owed by Americans on home mortgages, which is $11.2 trillion, according to the Fed.
In October, Congress granted Treasury $700 billion to purchase troubled assets from banks, with the idea that most of these assets would be mortage-backed securities that had lost their marketability.
Government sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, processed $4.6 trillion of the $6.6 trillion in mortgages now tied up in mortage-backed securities.
The data comes from the Federal Reserve's "Flow of Funds Accounts for the United States" report which was published in September. The data in this report was current through the second quarter of 2008.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced Nov. 12 that his department had given up on the idea of buying mortgage-backed securities from private banks, saying that he felt it was no longer the best strategy to resolve the financial crisis.
In his testimony before the House Financial Services Committee today, Paulson reiterated this point, saying that after spending $250 billion buying ownership stakes in banks, spending the remaining money on "troubled assets" such as mortgage-backed securities was not "enough firepower."
"By the time legislation had passed on October 3, the global market crisis was so broad and so severe, we knew we needed to move quickly and take powerful steps to stabilize our financial system and to get credit flowing again," said Paulson. "Our initial intent had been to strengthen the banking system by purchasing illiquid mortgages and mortgage-related securities. But by this time, given the severity and magnitude of the situation, an asset purchase program would not be effective enough, quickly enough.
"Therefore we exercised the authority granted by Congress in this legislation to develop and quickly deploy a $250 billion capital injection program, fully anticipating we would follow that with a program for troubled asset purchases," Paulson testified.
"We recognized that a troubled asset purchase program, to be effective, would require a massive commitment of TARP funds," said Paulson. "It became clear that, while in mid-September, before economic conditions worsened, $700 billion in troubled asset purchases would have had a significant impact. Half of that sum, in a worse economy, simply isn't enough firepower."
Even if Paulson had spent all $700 billion authorized by Congress buying mortgage-backed assets, there still would have been $5.9 trillion worth of mortgage-backed securities on the market.
$5.9 trillion, by the way, is more than double the size of the entire federal budget for Fiscal Year 2008 – $2.9 trillion.

Ah, I miss drive-thrus!My brother works in a tavern with a drive thru bottle shop.We don't have alcohol in supermarkets either, though I think other states do. They're toying with the idea of introducing it here but there's been a fair bit of opposition already.
Doesn't bother me, if it's not there you don't miss it.
Here in Maryland, it's by county as to whether the supermarkets sell beer and wine (never liquor). Unfortunately, my county does not.
I was shocked when I was in Chicago and there was a full beer, wine, and liquor selection in the WALGREENS.

Kermit Erasmus says they will not take their eyes off the ball as SuperSport United approaches the most fragile stage of their Absa Premiership bid.
SuperSport are fourth in the log with two games to go. They will face neighbours Mamelodi Sundowns and Bloemfontein Celtic in their remaining games. However, they will also be hoping that Orlando Pirates the incumbent log leaders.
"We won our semi-finals in the Cup competition (where Erasmus scored a go). For myself, it's a massive confidence boost and for the team too," the former Feyenoord striker told PSL.co.za.
Weve always missed out on reaching a Cup final, so it feels good to finally be there. It's every player's dream to go and play in a final and it will be extra special if we come out tops. We've got all the confidence to go there and try and get it.
For both clubs it would be massive to get the supporters down there for the final.
"We've got a big game next Saturday which we'll need to compete in and get three points, but when it (final) comes about we'll be looking forward to it."
The Port Elizabeth born player turned in another commanding attacking display against Usuthu for Gavin Hunts first-team where he scored one goal and created another, and the former SA U23 international believes he is growing in confidence with every game, though he says there is plenty more still to come.
"I was very pleased (with my performance)," he added. "I think we battled well all the way through the game.
"We had to pick up our performance early on, which was a big part of the game today, and we also played some good football at times. AmaZulu did not make it easy for us, but we did what he had to do.
"Every game gives me a lot more confidence. All I can do now is keep going and try and show the coach and the fans what I'm capable of doing."
Next for United is a league match against Nedbank Cup finalists, Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday afternoon as the club looks to close the gap on Orlando Pirates and Moroka Swallows.

Was the driver of the semi an illegal? I know they drive and do not have the training that others have.
What was the semi doing on the shoulder?
#2 Jul 21, 2010
Look at the name of the driver, does it look like a illegal name?
#4 Jul 21, 2010
I can't understand why people post things like this. It's unproductive, without taste, and offensive to the deceased. Your comment assumes that she was struck because she was using her cellphone. Read the story. Paige was on the shoulder of the road, out of traffic. Don't be an idiot.
I know Paige. She's an incredibly intelligent girl with more common sense and courage than the average person. It takes quite a person to commit to biking across the country. She studied engineering at one of the best universities in the country and was a stellar athlete and deeply caring, warm person. She will be missed greatly.
#5 Jul 21, 2010
YOU would think that the driver of the semi would have seen someone stopped on the shoulder.
#6 Jul 21, 2010
You're kidding me, right? That's why the shoulder is there - to provide a safe area out of the way of moving traffic.

bikers CANNOT go as fast as vehicles all the time!!!...it's like some1 driving 15mph in a 40 mph zone!!!!...dangerous and irritating!!!...stay off the roads for everyone's safety!!!!!..for you bikers, I'm sure you get angry at very slow drivers when you are in a car!!!!!
#8 Jul 21, 2010
If The Stupid Fox station had any (good) reporters,(never will) they would have read the story in the AP that this woman was on the shoulder at the top of a hill and the Tractor Trailer was a wide load that was moving more to the right side of the road so oncoming traffic would not hit the machine.
#9 Jul 21, 2010
They will delete my last post.
#10 Jul 21, 2010
Texting and biking should be illegal.
#11 Jul 21, 2010
If you realize how big a combine is, even if they are in the middle of the road, they sometimes can take up the whole road. The driver probably didn't see her until it was too late to try to slow down. I am deeply sorry for her family and friends for their loss.
#12 Jul 21, 2010
Drivers not paying attention or thinking they are the only ones with the right, by law, to use the road are dangerous and irritating. YOU sir should stay off the road for everyone's safety. Yes, when I am in my car I may from time to time get angry at other slow DRIVERS but not scooters, or bicyclists, or runners, etc. The roads are not just for cars, get used to it and pay attention when driving or stay home.

This was a freak accident- no one should be blamed. A life was lost and the other will live with it the rest of his life. Where has our compassion gone?

#16 Jul 21, 2010
The driver of the truck over corrected itself and by the time he knew what happened he struck Paige. My mom works for this girls father who is a doctor. She pulled off to the shoulder to check her messages. She did the responsible thing. This is just a horrible accident. My prayers go out to his wonderful family.

#17 Jul 21, 2010
ick dudo---where I'm at, bikes don't even make up 2% of the road traffic, so it's ridiculous for them to be on the road!!!--do you not agree, that travelling well under the speed limit is dangerous??roads were OBVIOUSLY meant/built for cars, not small, slow moving, HARD to see bikes...yes, they are not as easy to see--OBVIOUSLY--as cars...
#18 Jul 21, 2010
Its narrow minded people like you that create alot of these problems......The roads of this great country are for all of us to
enjoy...As a cyclist I have been close to being hit several times
by people on cell phones or reading while they drive....remember its not all about YOU>>>>>> >>>>
#19 Jul 21, 2010
She was stopped on the shoulder... NOT riding while texting.
#20 Jul 21, 2010
This poor girl has lost her life because of a freak accident and you people have the nerve to sit here and criticize her? She didn't do anything wrong, she was being responsible and pulled over to check her phone, it's not like she was being a moron and riding her bike in the middle of the road and texting someone. She was not stupid. I went to high school with paige and feel horrible that you all say these things about such a sweet and ambitious person. RIP Paige, you will be missed.
United States
#21 Jul 21, 2010
I feel very sorry for her family! Maybe with the investigation, we will find out if she was distracted at/from the side of the road while checking messages the same as someone that is driving and doing the same. You would be distracted as to what's going on around you the same as any time you are 'checking' messages anywhere! Just sad all the way around!

Local citizens question final design of bridge into Prineville
While hoorays have been heard around the city for the completion of the Crooked River Bridge, others are rallying in dismay.
"It's the entry into Prineville and I think it sets the tone of the town," longtime Prineville resident Molly Kee said. "If it looks bad, then it's not a positive thing for our community."
Her complaints regarding the new bridge are solely based on the concrete barriers dividing the roadway from the pedestrian walkway.
"I'm upset because if you make a pretty bridge, it seems a shame to put those permanent construction barriers up and turn it into a bridge that's not very pretty," Kee continued.
The aesthetics of the new bridge are now up for debate, being weighed against its functionality and safety.
"I have heard people commenting about the barriers and I think it's a difficult thing sometimes to meet the tastes of the public at large," City Manager Robb Corbett said. "I understand the concerns of those who feel as if there could have been a more decorative solution for that end of the bridge."
Oregon Department of Transportation Assistant Project Manager Pat Cimmiyotti was adamant that the concrete barriers are a necessity for the speed and volume of vehicles crossing the bridge daily.
"On this particular bridge, the barrier is put in there for safety reason," he said. "Our normal guardrail that you see up and down the highway is not the right system to place on this bridge. The reason is that the metal guardrail is considered a flexible rail, meaning when it is impacted by a vehicle it will deflect up to four feet or more. The concrete barrier is a non-flexible barrier, so when a car impacts it, it doesn't deflect. So when you have pedestrians adjacent to that barrier, like we have on our project, the concrete barrier is required."
"I can understand that, but I've walked every weekday over the bridge for 20 years and I haven't noticed that it was very unsafe the way it used to be," Kee added. "I've seen cable systems that don't look so bad, but they would still give some safety."
For now, ODOT has no plans of revamping the bridge's safety barriers and maintains that the bridge that has been constructed was the bridge initially planned.
"The artist rendering in March of 2006, looks exactly like the bridge we have built right now," Cimmiyotti said. "The picture last year was an image of what the bridge was supposed to look like. We took a picture after the bridge was completed and the two looked the same. So all along, that's why the city was supportive of the bridge, because I think they understood what was going to be constructed."
"I am happy with the functionality and I'm happy, generally, with the aesthetics of the bridge," Corbett said. "I feel it's unfortunate that we couldn't find a design that would have made everybody happy. In the conversations that I've had in the community, I've had people tell me that they don't like the barriers and I've had people tell me that they're glad the barriers are there because of the safety-related issues that might come up."
With the intended barriers in place, ODOT officials are still open to hearing from the public about the bridge's design for future installations.
"I think the bridge looks very nice," Cimmiyotti continued. "That's a barrier that we utilize on a lot of our projects. We didn't anticipate this particular problem, but we will not sacrifice safety for the traveling public or the pedestrian. At this time we don't have any plans of changing the barrier out, unless somebody comes up with something that we're not aware of."
"I'm trying to get people on the bandwagon, because if enough people do complain or just express their dissatisfaction with it then I really think they're more likely to look at it," Kee added.
While ODOT is concerned about providing safety to the drivers and pedestrians on the bridge, the designers were also asked to match the Crooked River Bridge to the bridges on North Main and Harwood Streets.
"It's grey and red, color-wise we matched it to the one on Main Street at the request of the city," Cimmiyotti said. "The lights match the city's luminaires. There was quite a bit of coordination with the city on the aesthetic value of the bridge. It's not like we didn't work with the city."
What are your thoughts?
Molly Kee would also like to hear from you is you are also unsatisfied with the aesthetics of the Crooked River Bridge. She can be reached at 447-7403.
