Fox & Friends off the rails on claim that stimulus money went to "save" Napa wine train
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
Trumpeting a report by Sen. John McCain and Sen. Tom Coburn on "wasted" stimulus funds, Fox & Friends hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, and Peter Johnson Jr. repeatedly claimed that $54 million in stimulus money went to "save" a wine-tour train in Napa Valley, when in fact, the funds are for an Army Corps of Engineers project "designed to minimize flooding of downtown Napa," which requires the relocation of the Wine Train.
Fox & Friends hosts repeatedly claim stimulus funding went to "save" a Napa Valley wine-tour train
From the December 14 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
CARLSON: Talk about a gravy train, we're tracking your stimulus money. More than 50 million of it. Why is it being used to save some train tracks in the wine country?
CARLSON: I guess we're listening to some pigs this morning as well. Which sounds better: the music or those pigs? But the pigs remind about all the money that is being spent in pork on Capitol Hill. And, apparently, one of -- we have been covering this for you for months now -- but one of the recipients of $54 million from your taxpayer dollars is this train in Napa Valley. Apparently was damaged by floods. Needs to be fixed, and some people are scratching their heads wondering if it really needed $54 million to be fixed.
DOOCY: Fifty-four million to save the Napa Valley wine train. That is the headline from Senators McCain and Coburn, and in fact, the multimillion-dollar contract is number 11 on their list of 100 projects deemed by them to be "wasteful or just outright silly."
JOHNSON: All aboard.
DOOCY: All aboard the wine train. Here's the thing though, it's not just to save the wine train, but it's also to save the integrity of the track and, you know, because through erosion and stuff like that, if the track goes away, then the farmers get flooded and stuff like that.
JOHNSON: This issue with regard to flood control funds. So it's not as simple as it sounds, although it is to save the Napa Valley wine train.
CARLSON: To me the key is this, and you guys are going to be interviewing the public information officer out in this part of the country in Napa Valley a little later on.
JOHNSON: What should we ask him?
CARLSON: Well, I just read through his notes, and to me the whole crux of this is that he says our congressman from our area pitched to get some money for the project. We expected 10 to 20 million but we never imagined we'd get so much. Now see, that, to me, is the essence of this whole argument. It's OK, maybe, if they asked for it, well, why didn't you just give them 10 million? I mean, are our tax dollars so aplenty that we just, you know, flourish them with 54 million?
JOHNSON: We will be asking that. That is a good question.
CARLSON: I guess, I don't know.
DOOCY: This could be one of those programs that is actually shovel-ready, because it's all about fixing the land and stuff like that. Nonetheless, there is a wine train involved and millions of dollars, so we're going to talk about that.
DOOCY: And, you can call it a gravy train. California getting a lot of our money to save a wine tour train from flooding. That's right, we're tracking your stimulus money straight ahead.
In fact, the project does not fund Wine Train, but is designed to prevent "flooding of downtown Napa"
Flood-control project relocates Wine Train. The award description for the project states: "The Napa Valley Wine Train Relocation project is a flood control job designed to minimize flooding of downtown Napa, CA. The existing railroad bridge over the Napa River is at an elevation that impedes the flow of the 100 year storm event. This backs up river flows from major storms and floods homes and businesses. In addition the river has an oxbow channel which constricts the major flows further adding to the flooding of downtown." The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracted with Suulutaaq Inc., an Alaskan firm, to complete the project. Contrary to Carlson's claim, the Wine Train is not a "recipient" of the stimulus funds.
Napa Valley Register: Officials said project "not done at the behest of or for the benefit of the Wine Train." According to a December 11 Napa Valley Register article, "The funding is part of the larger $99.5 million in stimulus funds awarded to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Napa's flood control project" and the "goal is to prevent another major flood like the one that ripped through central Napa on New Year's Eve 2005, causing an estimated $115 million in damage." The article noted that "[o]fficials have said in the past that the project is not done at the behest of or for the benefit of the Wine Train, but to maintain the only rail right of way through the valley and lift two train trestles high enough that they will not catch debris, slow fast-moving water and cause flooding downtown."
Napa County spokesman: "We're not doing anything to protect the train in any way." According to a local ABC report, Barry Martin, spokesman for the Napa Flood Protection District, stated of the project, "We're not doing anything to protect the train in any way, we're just getting the train out of the way so we can give the protection to the downtown area, the residents and businesses closest to the river." The article also quoted Congressman Mike Thompson's statement that "[t]he wine train would continue to operate with or without the flood control project, this merely allows the flood project to be completed." After Doocy, Carlson, and Johnson repeatedly claimed the money went to "save" the wine-tour train, they hosted Martin, who said it's a "flood-control project" and that it "will absolutely protect locals from flooding and absolutely not is it a waste of money." Martin also said: "Our project is different from other flood-control projects. It is land intensive. We are moving things out of the way where the floodwaters go rather than trying to deepen or straight and the river, which we have learned over time is not a very environmentally sound practice and it doesn't really work very well. So this is a new approach to flood control, we have been under construction for many years, and we've have moved many facilities, buildings, railroad tracks and bridges. It's a large project, and this is just one piece of it."
Wine Train spokesman "shocked" to hear that people think train "received $54 million in stimulus money -- which, of course, we didn't." In an open letter to McCain, Melodie Hilton, director of marketing and public relations for Napa Valley Wine Train, stated, "I was shocked to hear that people high up in Washington think that the Napa Valley Wine Train received $54 million in stimulus money -- which, of course, we didn't." Hilton further stated:
It worries me that no calls were made before we were held up to the entire American public -- a small business in Northern California -- as an enormous source of government waste.
If you had spoken with us, or even project officials, you might have asked: Why would the Napa Valley Wine Train need, or take, $54 million in taxpayer money to move a small section of rail line 33 feet? The answer is: we didn't!
So, who does? Napa County has an award-winning flood control project and design; one that was proposed, and approved by voters, many years ago. This is the project that is being funded. That design has impacted a lot of businesses. It has necessitated the movement of several rights-of-way, and at my last count four or five bridges (including the Wine Train's). The goal of this project is to protect the city of Napa from continued flooding, period, not enhance specific companies.

My artificer is now ready to TR. He got his cleansing stone.
I will TR into another artificer, but wonder if I should take 2 levels of rogue for the evasion or stay on a pure WF artificer. I didn't actually feel I needed evasion up to level 20. I could jump past those where the trap box was on the other side, but it could change on epic quests.

Recently listed alternative health-care company Medec has agreed to buy Ballarat-based business Athlegen, a market leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of massage tables and related lifestyle products.
Medec will pay $1.2 million for Athlegen in its third acquisition since listing on the Australian Stock Exchange two months ago.
The merged businesses, with Medec's recent purchases of Holzer and Enermed and a distribution deal with Raoki, are expected to achieve group target revenue of $13 million in 2004 and $24 million in the 2005 financial year.
Athlegen has been operating for 14 years with manufacturing facilities, company showrooms and sales staff in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Kuala Lumpur.
Athlegen's sales have grown steadily in the past 10 years and are expected to reach more than $6 million in the 2004 financial year, after achieving $5.8 million in 2003.
Medec will pay $400,000 in cash at settlement and $800,000 over 12 months in 2004 by instalments.
The instalments can be paid monthly by Medec, either in cash or with Medec shares at 90 per cent of the weighted price average of the three trading days before the payment date.
Medec executive chairman Josef Plattner said: "This acquisition is a further step towards building a substantial international corporation and it strengthens our Australian base in management, administration, manufacturing, logistics and sales."
Medec shares closed 2� higher at 49.5� yesterday.

Prince William County, Va. citizens told their board of supervisors it's "outrageous" that the government won't protect them from the influx of illegal aliens.
"The federal government cares not one bit about people in Virginia," one citizen told the board at its July 15, 2014 meeting.
Another citizen warned of the health and safety risks posed by the illegal aliens:
"How many of them have M.S. (gang) tattoos on their bodies, how many of them have scabbies, how many of them have tuberculosis?"
"Do your jobs. That's what you're elected to do," another said.
One citizen even went so far as to suggest that, if the government won't protect its citizens, they may have to take matters into their own hands:
"The citizens of Prince William County will not stand by while our local government hides its head in the sand and pretends it cannot protect us. If you cannot protect us, who do we have to trust and turn to? Must we turn to ourselves?"
MRCTV spoke to Prince William County Supervisor, Corey Stewart, who said he was blindsided by the news that the federal government had contracted to house illegal aliens in his county.

This is a discussion on How Effective is the 40 caliber handgun in stopping a lethal threat? within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; well, it sure is although I'd recommend the 10mm, which in most pistols you can change the barrel to the 40 SW if you'd want...
well, it sure is although I'd recommend the 10mm, which in most pistols you can change the barrel to the 40 SW if you'd want
I am sworn to protect the Constitution of the U.S.A. from all threats both foreign and domestic.
.40 S&W JHP loaded to the higher ranges of velocity (which all factory defensive ammo is) is devastating to tissue. Remember, the .45 travels at lower velocities. They are both excellent rounds. The effectiveness of a comparable 9mm JHP is going to be a little less than these two rounds but not by much. However, the most important factor is not caliber. Rather it is to use high quality JHP ammo, Corbon and Hornady come to mind, and as has been mentioned many times before, "shot placement is king."
Lastly, if you're at all interested in the ultimate home defence weapon it would have to be a 12 gauge shotgun in the short police riot gun variety. I think they hold about six or seven rounds.
A little research of ballistic tables can show you all major calibers, effectiveness, etc..It comes down to hitting your target, controllability of the weapon, and realistically, what you can handle and like. Shorter barrels translates into slower and different bullet performance, but, modern loads are very effective at what they are manufactured for. Luck.
I know, I know, you are smarter than me..just ask you..
.40 should be fine...a long gun is always better. Be it a rifle or a shotgun.
Semper Fidelis
Caliber wars aside, .40 S&W will work fine.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." Thomas Jefferson
Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
I have a .40 ready for the call. But in addition to maming or killing an intruder is a concern of over penetration and injuring a loved one. Although I do not own a tactical shotgun. I do think it might be the best for home protection as long as it wasn't loaded with heavy shot or slugs. I scaled down from my .45 to the .40 for home protection. I have read several reports of over penetration accidents - and it is a major concern for me. I want to stop the threat ASAP - but without harm for the ones I was protecting. Maybe 9mm or shotgun - I don't know.
All guns will penetrate a wall, so your best bet is to be aware of your surrounding and know where it is safe to shoot.
You really need to look at your house and figure out where is the best place to position yourself defensively and have set shooting lanes that are safe.
Do not plan on any round not penetrating walls and injuring your family or innocent neighbors.
I recall a Texas Ranger who was asked why he carried a .45 and he said because they don't make a .46. Seriously the .45 is lauded as the best hand gun, especially when in the 1911 configuration. It is a little like arguing about the difference between Ford and Chevrolet pickups. I like the .45.
I don't want to derail this thread, but for those who are interested, google 5.56 and sheetrock to see what comes up. In summary, if you're using a hollow point, lightweight bullet, 5.56 rounds tend to break up when they hit sheetrock and other walls. This helps reduce the problem of overpenetration vs. pistol and shotgun rounds. Again, I'm not trying to derail the thread, just putting the information out there since the subject came up.

It is a matter of personal choice. I made mine many years ago when I had to call on a 1911 made by Singer to pull my bacon from the fire.
For those of you who will trust your life to a bullet that MAY expand----Mine will never be smaller than .451 and could quite possibly be larger.
Thanks for this thread - this question was on my mind for awhile. My LEO friends and relatives are very confident in 40SW. Both are big Glock guys. But then I met a special forces guy who will ONLY carry a 1911 .45 with hollowpoints. I guess I concluded that either will get the job done just fine if I can do my part and get the training & practice that should go with it

I don't think you have to worry about the .40 caliber being ineffective...but for home defense...I choose a 12 gauge shotgun.

Ford Expects Four-Cylinder Engines to Significantly Increase in Popularity

Sender E-mail
Ford says 66% of new cars we use four-cylinder engines by 2020
With the looming CAFE fuel economy standards, just about every automaker out there is pushing hard to migrate from larger displacement engines to engines with a
smaller displacement
, typically using a turbocharger to get the same sort of power output. The benefit of this is that it allows drivers to have the same performance with improved fuel economy.
One of the most successful automakers at making this transition away from higher displacement engines has been Ford with its line of EcoBoost power plants.
Detroit News
reports that Ford is projecting an increase in sales for vehicles using four-cylinder engines and that by 2020 66% of all new vehicles will use smaller displacement four-cylinder engines.
"I think it's maybe a stretch. But I don't find it implausible," said Bill Visnic, senior editor at the car research site Edmunds.com, in a telephone interview. "If you look at where things have been going segment by segment, except pickups, you could say that's been the trend."
In 2008, only 40% of new vehicles sold used four-cylinder engines compared to 53% today. Currently, the majority of small and medium-size cars on the automotive market come standard with a four-cylinder engine. Most compact SUVs also come standard with four-cylinder engine. Full-size pickups and full-size SUVs currently come with six and eight-cylinder engine options. In 2012, sales of pickup trucks accounted for 13% of all new market sales.
Mike Osmotoso of LMC Automotive notes that to achieve that 66% goal, "[Ford would be] expecting pickups and full-size SUVs to virtually disappear."
Considering that the Ford F-150 is the automaker's best-selling vehicle, the more likely scenario would have
entry-level trucks using EcoBoost four-cylinder engines
producing the same power output as current base level V-6 engines.

"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

Think luxurious beaches, rum cocktails and shimmering white sand beaches... yes you are in heaven... (well... the Caribbean but there's not much difference!)
These magnificent islands offer the ultimate in affordable luxury with their upmarket resorts or you can go for all out extravagance with your own beach hut for that romantic holiday or honeymoon.
The high season is between December and May, however, if you want cheap family holidays in the summer months then, provided you don't mind the humidity, the Caribbean offers some excellent all inclusive deals, at a time that's traditionally the most expensive elsewhere.
Cuba or Dominican Republic are reasonable year round but wherever you choose, with magnificent scenery both above and below the water, exotic wildlife and excellent water sports, it's easy to see why the Caribbean is so popular.
Everyone is raving about Cuba...why? Could it be the perfect golden beaches, the strong local rum or the incredible history here? Perhaps you are into old cars, architecture or photography, if so this is for you.
Cuba is in the middle of a revolution so if you want to see traditional Cuba... go sooner rather than later. More information on Cuba
This typical Caribbean Isle offers a little more than just amazing beaches. Hit Jamaica at the right time and you will find reggae festivals and beach parties! Partner perfect beaches along with breathtaking scenery like Dunn's River Falls and you can't help but feel like you are in paradise. More information on Jamaica
Perhaps the most reasonably priced isles of the Caribbean, and not surprisingly, the most popular destination in the Caribbean, Dominican Republic combines fun-filled resorts with history, culture and eco-friendly tourism. Great for families! More information on Dominican Republic
First-timers and couples often book all inclusive holidays in Barbados. Uniquely British, it offers everything from big game fishing (the flying fish is the island's emblem) to cricket on the village green and there is a live jazz festival in January. More information on Barbados
Flying time from UK: 8-9 hours Currency: Varied Local currencies but a lot accept US Dollars too so check before you go! Average Temperature: During the winter 15Cº and during the summer 35Cº (77Fº). Sunny Days a Year: +300 days. Top tip: Go All inclusive for the best deals as food and drinks can be expensive in resorts

trapezoid 1 gal shrimp tank.
I have this odd little tank that I've used for all kinds of stuff like a couple gold fish, pet slugs, a tiny preying mantis, etc. I'd live to do a planted pico tank with it.
I recently set up a 40 gallon low tech, low light but didn't research anywhere near enough. This time I'd like to make competent informed decisions!
Decisions to make:
Goal- small planted shrimp tank, low tech
Substrate? - thinking soil possibly
Filtration? -none? Maybe just a tiny sponge filter?
Lighting? - possibly DIY LED. Not sure.
I had one of these for a while and I never found a good lighting setup for it, I am thinking some sort of LED pendant would be useful, kinda like the pendants that some have used with the Fluval edge tanks.... I tried a 3 LED strip, but it was cheap and not bright at all... there is actually a lot of room in that lid, so most pendant types could be used, the plastic cover just comes right off for mounting the LED pendant.... Thats what I would do now if I still used mine
found the LED I was thinking about
Just got the OK from my boss. I'll be setting this bad boy up on my desk!
Soil with at least 1/2" sand cap, unless you want muddy waters and fluctuating water quality :/
Get a tiny filter, I think cheapest/smallest is the Hagen Elite Mini @ around $7. Get or find some extra black sponges and glue it to the pre-filter so the shrimps don't get sucked in, also stick some in the output area. The flow is fairly strong.
Not sure about lighting, ppl here recommend the clip on Fluval Mini (comes with Flora/Ebi kits I think), but I don't think it would fit. If you have a window probably won't need one for low light plants or moss.
I planned on having shrimp only, and only a few at that. I was considering going without a filter at all, though that little one is tempting.
For light I might either do a single cfl for now or replace the desk lighting where it is at with a 6500k tube if I can. No one would even notice and it is less than a foot above the top of the tank. That way I could keep other plants alive too!
organic soil, then course sand. Plants next week hopefully...
Should I maybe NOT do soil? I hadn't planned on doing a filter.
I planted a bunch of dwarf hairgrass today. I'm still not sure if I'm doing this right, but I guess I'll find out. I'm not sure of the quality of the plant since it was a packaged plant at petsmart. I'll be ordering all my plants from now on.
my hill stayed mostly in place. I forgot my lamp though, gotta remember to bring that in tomorrow.
nice desk top tank! i have one of these floating around my house and maybe ill do something similar. i've had pretty good luck with the packaged plants for pet stores. as long as the plant still looks healthy it should be good to go.
Remembered to bring my light in today. It looks much better, though it is still a bubble extravaganza.
My plan was to drop a few red cherries in there, but I'm having trouble finding info on the best way to do that.
-Do I cycle this like a bigger tank first?
-how much water should I change regularly?
thats looking GREAt i have 1 of those too and now you gave me the idea of using that for a gal shrimp bowl instead of buying a new one. Btw you wont need a filter and red cherries are very hardy just go on the swap n' shop section there are lots of people wanting to sell their cherries ( they breed quickly). Check out Newman's Shrimp bowl forum for more help and good luck! :)
You don't need to order a ton either. 10 will be more than enough for a small 1g like that! If they breed you'll have to start taking them out as well as the general rule for breeding is 10shrimp per gallon.
I personally would like to start from square 1 and only get a pair and then slowly build up the pop. (eventually switching shrimp out for new ones to prevent too much inbreeding).

To Vaya in the Viva of Time
The crowd arrives in a burst of flashlights and tango. The ears primed for tin can cantatas. The white-dressed flamenceros waltzing with the cubists. The anti-history mechanics arriving with sheepskin mandelas. El Museo Del Barrio, on the north end of Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile, is an orange and green sherbert in glass light, hosting tonight's event: "Viva Futurism! Revolution, Vanguardia, and the Modern Metropolis." The music man dressed in vertigo, mechanizes his mixing wheels — industrial torque scaled down to the size of a CD. Hola, to the pre-period-costume under the strobed feather. Looking good, to the lipstick gazzarellos chewing tobacco to Satie. Welcome to Futurismo in Latin America. This posting was supposed to be a pre-review of what hadn't happened yet, but it was finished after it happened. Tonight, or tomorrow, or whenever you read this…the future will be happening one more time, again.
Sponsored by Performa '09, the festival is under an umbrella of multo-multo Futurist events this year. Excerpts of Marinetti's manifesto are read in English by a peacock-eyed woman in bowler hat, shirt and suspenders…and in French by the evening's curator and master of ceremony, Nicky Enright, doing his best Futurist-scowl with Nicaragua-tinged vowelings. While Futurism's mandate of speed is as present as ever, its rebellion against the old is ironically antiquated. Those cringey end-of-the-world lines may come off a bit dated, but the basis of its attempt to change the world with the excitement of transformative art permeates now and forever. Señor Nicky provides the live soundtrack to go with the video he also created as both backdrop and feature, mixing period-music with contemporary-atonal, feeding it through effects and choosing to isolate an instrument to echo as a solo warble through walls and skin.
I need a breath of air to go over some lines…pardon me the student with the happening skirt, excusé mois the elegant nuyo-taino couple vaya reprazent…stepping out of the space-zone, the view from the courtyard, glassy and modern with spins of tropicalia accenting a burbling wash of light. The museum's recent renovation has given it a much-needed polish of now, a visual clavé beat announcing its arrival from the street. Time to step back in.
The harmonica player, Ernesto Gomez, rides the island mood against drum beats with rare restraint, a sublime moment, alternating music with recitation. Electronic swoops against a conga that filters in and out of his harmonica, playing folk-island riffs under a tragic backbeat. I felt I was hearing the future looking back at its mirror — a beautifully unresolved mirror. Next is Mariposa, badass in crisp white men's hat and suit, performing her ode to women, Mujer-nifesta, the perfect piece for this crowd, her crowd. Then Noël Jones powers through to a performative jam on the trans-human movement. All of us could be considered Spoken Word poets, all of us could be considered Futurist poets, all of us could be considered Latino poets. Meanwhile, my antique white lab coat from the south of France had popped two of its three major buttons just before I was going on. I wouldn't be able to wear it along with the stringed cans that thread through its sleeves. Visual setback. I pretend my tin cans are really supposed to fall and can't tie them to my goatee so I need to hold them now. One hand lost. The other holding paper. I inch close to mic. Tune out distractions and launch into a chant written specifically for the event…Future Chant Futopo.
Built around steady reveals of syllable, escalating in rhythm, eg. this / this is my / this is my man / this is my manifestic vibration, etc. Over the course of 10 minutes, it borders on sonic water torture slash island history slash mantra seeker. The effect of a steady vibration against the video in this museum with a stationary audience, makes me think about speed (its lack of in a static setting) as catalyst for transformation.
The motion inside the poem when it stands still. The line waiting to find its next landing. The crowd in sequins. The sound bed. The rhythm sprung free. The two women dressed for a tango, a dance company called Bared Souls. Beginning with Argentina and ending with Contact Improv. A perfect jumping off point from Futurism…the speed in language. Contact Language. More likely, the speed of listening. Contact Listening. Of translating. Of reviewing an event that hasn't happened, until its time to happen presents itself to you. Contact You. To step inside something that moves slower than you, by letting it catch up. To give yourself that time. I don't think the future's supposed to be here. That's the lesson from Futurism, maybe.

The Hornet is a bar/restaurant in the South Broadway area of Denver, which I've heard is undergoing a revitalization and is becoming a trendy area. The Hornet has been around for a while now, but it was packed on a Thursday night and looked worth a try. The restaurant has a New American-type menu, with lots of burgers, sandwiches and salads, with dishes like pork ... Read More »

Snooze, Denver, CO
There is no shortage of breakfast restaurants in Denver, so I was surprised when more than one person steered me towards Snooze as I planned my recent trip to the mile high city. Snooze is a funky little breakfast place that sprang up in 2007 in downtown Denver and proved to be so popular that they expanded to three locations in the past couple of ... Read More »
La Cure Gourmande, Seville, Spain
La Cure Gourmande has to be on of the sweetest looking shops in Seville, Spain. And, since it is a candy and cookie shop, it is probably one of the sweetest in general. The store is actually a French one, started in 1989 to preserve and share some traditional french recipes for butter cookies, hard candies, caramels, nougats and chocolates. Since the first store opened, ... Read More »
Los Italianos, Granada, Spain
If you're in Granada during the summer, a stop at Los Italianos is a must. This Italian ice creamery is a popular place and serves up some outstanding ice cream. The shop has unusual hours. It is open from 8am until midnight, and is closed during the winter (so, open from April – October, give or take a little). This makes sense when you consider ... Read More »
A Meal in Morocco
Part of the tour I took in Morocco involved a meal at a "traditional" Moroccan restaurant. It's a safe bet that when you take a group tour – especially a big group tour – you're not going to be getting the best or most authentic food you possibly could. My particular group wasn't large, around 8 or 10 people including me, but the ferry company ... Read More »

Food from Spain: Gazpacho at McDonalds
In Spain, many restaurants are close from 4pm to about 8pm, as lunch ends at 4 and dinner doesn't start until after 8 (bars open later/earlier and serve tapas, of course).

Pasteleria Lopez-Mezquita, Granada, Spain
Breakfast isn't a big meal in Spain, for the most part, and so not that many places are open early in the morning. Fortunately, in Granada, the Pasteleria Lopez-Mezquita opens bright and early at about 9am for those who want to get a quick bite to eat before going to work or heading up to the Alhambra for some sightseeing. The Pasteleria has a cafe ... Read More »

Debbie also has an old XP computer and wants to know if she can install Linux on it. Leo says that Debbie can, but she can also run on XP if she uses these steps:
Can I get arrested for downloading music from BitTorrent?
Episode 1070
Mario downloads music and he wants to know if he'll get sued or arrested for it. Leo says that when he's sharing or downloading, law enforcement doesn't know who he actually is because it's all based on IP addresses. Both the recording industry (RIAA) and the movie industry (MPAA) often have phoney torrents in order to find out what IP addresses are downloading them. Then they have to find out who owns that IP address from the ISP.
Can computers infect each other from within my network?
Episode 1069Jeanette from
Jeanette's son's computer was hacked and she's concerned that her Mac computers will be infected if he connects it to her network. Leo says that she should go into the security system preferences and turn on the computer firewall. That will protect her individual computers inside her network. What about her iPad? Leo says that she doesn't really have to worry about the tablet getting infected. Nobody is writing viruses that can infect an iPad from a Windows PC.
What's the easiest way to burn CDs in Windows 7? (Part 1)
Episode 1068
Michael wants to back up all his images onto CDs for safe keeping. He used to use Nero, but it doesn't work on Windows 7. Leo says that Windows may be able to burn it natively. He'll want to format the CD and then drag the files onto it. Then he can select "burn," and it'll be done. Leo says he doesn't put stuff on CDs anymore, he uses the Cloud instead. And with Flickr by Yahoo offering 1TB of free image storage, it's a good option. Also, just having one backup isn't really a backup. Backing up to the cloud is a wise idea.
Is there a waterproof Bluetooth speaker I could get for use in the shower? (Part 2)
Episode 1064
Leo says that there are plenty of waterproof speakers out there. Kohler makes a speaker that is also a shower nozzle. iDuck is fun bluetooth speaker for kids. He can stream from his computer if it supports Bluetooth. Leo also has a Sonos speaker in the bathroom which works great. The chatroom says to check out Pyle Speakers.

Episode 1064Stacey from
Stacey bought a Microsoft Surface tablet and really likes it. He's wondering if it's ok to use it with a traditional mouse and keyboard as opposed to using the touch screen, though. Leo says since it's his personal computer, he should be able to use it however he wants! There is no incorrect way to use it.
What smartwatch is better: the Pebble or Samsung Galaxy Gear? (Part 2)
Episode 1061
Leo says that the Pebble Steel is pretty slick. It looks like a watch and works with Android. The Galaxy Gear watch only works with the Note III. Sam should keep in mind that the Pebble can't work as a headset. He can't talk on it, it only would let him know the phone is ringing.
What's the best bluetooth headset for driving? (Part 2)
Episode 1043Lily from
Lily needs a good bluetooth headset because she spends a lot of time on the road. Leo says that wired is always better than bluetooth, but the best Bluetooth headsets are the Jawbone, and the Blueant Q3.
How can I get Samsung's S Voice to work better? (Part 1)
Episode 1043Lily from
Lily has a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. She loves the huge screen but says that there's a huge learning curve to it. Leo says that's likely because of all the pointless stuff that Samsung has loaded it up with. S-Voice is an example of that. Leo prefers Google's voice control. She can disable it in the Android's "Language and Input" settings. Choose "US English" as the default language. Lily could even root the phone or just tap the microphone button in the search bar and speak into that.
What bluetooth headset should I get? (Part 2)
Episode 1036
Dave recently lost his Bose Bluetooth headset, and wants to know what he should get to replace it. Leo says that Bose is about as good as he can get, but there are plenty of options out there. BlueAnt, Plantronics, and Jawbone are all excellent options.

Swapping my c30 aa charger onto a 330 engine from a 325 advice needed please!!
Hi guys I've come across a 330 engine for sale which is cheap. I've got a smg box to go in my 325 and wasn't sure if it would marry up. However it definetly will with a 330. Also while the engine is out I want to get some performance zhp cams.
Long story short I was wondering if anyone knows what's needed to get the supercharger running right? What size injectors size are needed on the 330? Also concerned about the software. Is this something active autoworke would help tune for a 330? Considering going down route of a stand alone ecu as mines been pretty problematic since I received a file from active? Any advice realy appreciated.

"I talked to one of the coaches (Ellis Johnson) and he let me know that I had an offer from them and they would like for me to come to the Junior Day," Mouhon says. "I'm making plans to hopefully be there.
"I have been anticipating the offer for a while. I visited Auburn with my godbrother Ben Bradley. They seemed really interested in me so I have been waiting for this offer. I feel like I finally reached one of my goals, getting an offer from Auburn."
Part of a talented team at Norcross that went 15-0 last season and won the Class AAAAAA Championship in Georgia, Mouhon was dominant at linebacker as he finished with 154 tackles, five sacks, two interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.
With those kinds of numbers it's not a surprise he got the full court press when he showed up at Auburn last month with his old teammate. Mouhon says that experience was one that gave him a very good feeling about the Tigers and still carries over to this day.
"It was really big to meet Coach Malzahn when I visited," Mouhon says. "It's like we've got a personal connection. He introduced me to the school and showed me around. It was a great place. That means a lot."
With offers from Arkansas, Mississippi State, Florida State, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Penn State, Wake Forest, Louisville and Oklahoma State in addition to Auburn, Mouhon says right now the Tigers would be the team to beat for him.
"Auburn has a slight edge right now, but I'm still going to keep my options open to every college that has offered me," he says. "I'm going to take my time with my decision. I don't want to be the type of player to commit to a school and then de-commit. Once I make my decision it's going to be final."


text: SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Philips Lumileds today introduced LUXEON S, its second generation illumination-grade multichip emitters which offer twice the lumen density of existing solutions - an R9 value that exceeds 80 and has 50 percent better Color over Angle (COA) variation over existing solutions. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130212/NY58827) Philips Lumileds is demonstrating the new LUXEON S emitters this week at Strategies in Light, February 12-14 in Santa Clara, California (Booth #205). Designed for retail, architectural and entertainment applications, LUXEON S emitters deliver up to 50 lumens per square millimeter and a high light output of up to 8000 lumens in narrow beams with sharp shadows. Because of the challenges in creating a small footprint with tight beam angles and high lumen density, luminaire designers have had to deal with large optics and limited lumen levels. With LUXEON S, luminaire designers have more flexibility and can achieve beam angles in the 8 degree range in a compact design, with light levels that rival traditional CDM light sources. This flexibility enables never-before-possible Center Beam Candle Power (CBCP) of over 50,000 candela, compared to other LEDs, like Chip on Board (COB) solutions, with a larger Light-Emitting Surface (LES) that achieve less than 20,000-25,000 candela. "With a lumen density that is twice that of available solutions, the LUXEON S can offer light outputs as high as 8000 lumens at half of the optical size, enabling LED approaches to replace traditional ceramic discharge metal-halide (CDM) lamps in spotlight and architectural applications," said Orson Lo, director of LUXEON S products for Philips Lumileds. "Relative to CDM lamps, LUXEON S-based lamps offer comparable efficacy of 90 lm/W but with instant-on operation, better color consistency and four times the expected lifetime at 60,000 hours." The new emitters feature correlated color temperatures of 2700K and 3000K with a CRI of 80 or 90, as well as CCTs of 3500K, 4000K and 5000K at CRI of 80. In the 90 CRI products, R9 value exceeds 80, making them ideal for applications requiring exceptional color renderings such as in premium retail and museum applications.

I can't send you a copy of the "papers" but you can get your own papers. Here's what you do:
Go to any grocery store, drugstore, or department store, and buy your own. They usuall come in packages of 24 rolls, although also they come in packages of 48, 16, or 32 rolls.
Why do you think I have a copy of the test?
Honestly, why do you think this?
Why do you think I'd send it out to anyone who asked?

About Me
Consider me a work in progress. Of course, when you think about it, even the most accomplished photographers could be considered works in progress and I'm sure most feel that way. I'm not out to conquer the world with my images, change the face of fashion, glamour or anything else. My number one goal is to produce the absolute best images I can.
With that in mind, some other things you might want to know about me are that I'm generally pretty easy to get along with. As the photographer, especially at this point when much of my work will be for the purpose of producing portfolio pieces, I might be in the driver's seat, but I'm very aware that I can't do it all by myself. One of my goals is to make every shoot as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. If you're a makeup artist, expect my suggestions and support. If you're an assistant, expect my direction, my willingness to listen to ideas and my gratitude for your help. If you're a model, trust that I won't try to take advantage of you, or push you to do things you don't want to do and that I believe it's very important that you have a sense of security while putting yourself out there in front of my camera. Things you can expect from me are to cheer you on, to challenge your willingness to take chances, to tease you without mercy if it means seeing you loosen up and to make funny faces at you if it gets a smile.
I've been a published writer, a champion sled dog racer, a wildland fire fighter, a helicopter crewmember, a volunteer fire fighter and an EMS First Responder. One of my first loves was holding a camera to my eye, pressing the shutter button and discovering the image on the other side. It's something I've returned to. Now you can just call me a photographer.

They have awkward arbitrary seating arrangements. Maybe you got stuck sitting next to that girl you hooked up with once in college, and she was all "Sooo, it's nice to see you, wanna have a threesome?"
Maybe you've opened years of text messages including variations on a theme: sorry, not going to make it, too much work to do, too tired, big day tomorrow, big night last night, exhausted, hungover, have fun, say hi, love you.
There wasn't some Mrs. Dalloway moment where I said, "I think I'll buy the flowers myself!" aka "I think I'll eschew all sexuality categories and forge my own path ahead, thus infuriating my brethren of various sexual orientations for always and eternity!"

Food Network's Worst Cooks In America
Later this afternoon, I will be talking to this fella right here. His name is Vinnie Caligiuri and he's a contestant on Food Network's 'Worst Cooks In America.' The show started with 16 contestants and they battle each week to become a better cook. The amateurs go into the show as terrible cooks and finish the season being able to put a real meal on a table.
Vinnie had to be nominated by a family member to try out for the show. His eldest son, Ryan sent in the application. Why did Ryan nominate his dad? Because he didn't want his younger brothers to suffer all the bad meals he already went through! Vinnie's wife Jeannie is also a breast cancer survivor, so eating a well balanced meal is a must in the Caligiuri household. I was in tears during the show last week when Vinnie told the story of his wife, Jeannie and their family. Jeannie even opened a boutique that caters to breast cancer survivors. (Faith and Hope Boutique)
Vinnie is still in the competition on the Blue Team, or Bobby Flay's team. Vinnie has great things to say about Bobby and being on the show! Tune into Cat Country 107.3 this afternoon to hear my interview!


text: Four Maine school districts have forfeited a total of nearly $1 million in grants over a technicality.The grants awarded to programs in Portland, Biddeford, Auburn and Fryeburg were withdrawn earlier this month after an organization that was denied a grant appealed the decision.The appeal brought to light a mistake in the wording of the request for proposals.A spokesman for the Department of Education said the mistake occurred because of staff turnover in the agency. The staff member who drafted the request for proposals left the department shortly before it was issued.The school programs can re-apply in early July.State Sens. Nancy Sullivan of Biddeford and Lois Snowe-Mello of have sent a letter to Commissioner of Education Stephen Bowen urging him to reconsider the decision.

Second Short Aftershock Strikes Haiti
A second brief aftershock hit Port-au-Prince last night, sending some earthquake survivors into the streets in the middle of the night.
The Associated Press reports that Haitians in the capital said the brief trembler was not as strong as several others since the magnitude-7.0 earthquake devastated the city last Tuesday.
The U.S. Geological Survey did not immediately have a measurement of the aftershock. Aftershocks can continue for months, if not years, after an earthquake strikes.
Geophysicist Susan Potter said people can feel aftershocks that register as little as magnitude-2.0, but the service has yet to detect anything weaker than a magnitude-4.5 trembler in Haiti, where detection equipment is not densely concentrated.

- " Having had rented a bed, I was unable to utilize the kitchen and appliances; all out of order. The refrigerator did not operate properly so, I was told to keep any perishable food in the freezer which did not help much. The kitchen was dirty, of course. In addition, I found the owner rude, aggressive and domineering by whom I was verbally and strongly insulted the very last night of my stay when I protested his decision to discard of my food without informing me! I was threatened so,I left. "

Ryan Sweeting Tattoos Kaley Cuoco's Name on His Arm
So....Ryan Sweeting just added to his tattoo collection with this lovely piece of art inspired by his new wifey Kaley Cuoco (insert sarcastic font here) and posted it on his Instgram account with the caption,
"Ink my whole body I don't give a ..."
I guess since he has been on a tennis hiatus (due to back injury) he is living the thug life now. Since usually the half-life of the relationship of someone who get's their boo's name tattooed on them is faster than Dr. Ivo's serve, I hope this isn't something he ends up regretting. I guess we'll see!

hey all, i'm just wondering what the VW scene is like in the halifax area? The wife and I are planning on a change of scenery as soon as our house here in onterrible sells and after doing a little research it seems that Halifax is our best option. I'm originally from Newfoundland but the economy there is and will continue to be in the crapper for the forseeable future.
Here in ontario i'm a regular to all the local shows, have been active in our local vw community for about the last five years or so but have been wrenching on cars/motorcycles/dirt bikes for as long as i could hold a wrench(or fetch one for the old man)
we're not 100% sure when the move will take place only that it will as soon as our place sells, hopefully before the fall, just trying to get a grasp on what the community is like, any local forums/clubs/shows. jay

Jennifer Aniston Interviews Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem joined actress Jennifer Aniston on The 2014 MAKERS Conference stage to talk gender diversity in Hollywood, feminisim, and Gloria's everlasting impact on women's advancement.
Below are some highlights from the interview:
JA: "What was the most hurtful thing you found yourself continually coming up against as you were fighting this fight over the years?"
GS: "The most hurtful thing is not what comes from our adversaries; it's what comes from our friends, because for the most part, if my adversaries liked me I would know that I was doing something really, seriously wrong."
JA: "How do you react to [the fact that our value and our worth is basically associated with our marital status or whether or not we procreate, especially] in the 60s or the 70s… the time when women weren't necessarily seen as a voice, but as barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen."
GS: "I thought, 'I'm getting married and having children, I'm definitely doing that, just not right now'… I put it in the future. Then, fortunately, the women's movement came along and made me realize I was actually happy alone and that there were more ways to live than one."
JA: "I think we can all say we thank you and honor you for raising a generation of women to be strong and have a voice. You have raised many children, that's for sure."
JA: "You said, 'Boys are told that their bodies are instruments, but women are made to feel that they are ornaments, not instruments.' What did you mean by that?"
GS: "We are valued too much for how we look on the outside. Boys actually suffer and men too because they are made to feel healthier. If you ask men about their body image, they'll tell you they look better than they do, and if you ask women they'll tell you they look worse than they do. We each need to come to some point of reality."
JA: "Why is 'feminism' such a complicated word?"
GS: "Because it is such a big revolution. It is taking away the biggest unpaid labor force in the world… and the control of reproduction. Some people are against it because they don't know what it means. Some are against it because they do know what it means."
AUDIENCE MEMBER: "What can we do going from here out into the world… to pay it forward?"
GS: "Infuse the values of equality and justice in whatever you do, and remember that we're the examples. If a woman passes a mirror and looks in and criticizes her body, a girl is watching. If [a woman] doesn't make sure the office staff is properly paid when she's an executive, she's part of the problem, not the solution. Change doesn't come from the top, it does come from the bottom."
AUDIENCE MEMBER: "How do you feel about women using their sex appeal to advance their careers?"
GS: "If women could sleep their way to the top, there'd be a lot more women at the top. It doesn't work."
Finally, actor and MAKER Jane Lynch asked Steinem a closing question.
JL: "You say that you're a 'hope-aholic.' What makes you hopeful?"
GS: "What makes me hopeful is just listening. Because I'm accidentally recognizable as part of a movement, I get to hear stories. People come up to me in the street, in the supermarket, in the airport and tell me how their lives have changed. It's just so incredibly, incredibly moving."

Holistic Health Practitioner
The Academy was started in 2007 in recognition of the needs of the community for a complementary and alternative approach to healing and well-being.
A Holistic Health Practitioner is one who assists others by focusing on the whole person; body, mind, and spirit. Practicing holistic methods stimulates the mind/body to heal itself. This can be accomplished through knowledge of proper nutritional measures and/or spiritual based study which offers a wealth of information on effective healing techniques. People are finding that a long standing problem suddenly disappears with one small change in diet or practicing an age-old spiritual technique! This excitement has led to the wellness revolution we are experiencing right now. The Holistic Health industry is growing at a substantial rate as people from all walks of life are realizing the benefits of taking control of their own health and well-being. There is also a growing interest in following ones Spiritual path; a search for truth in a time of uncertainty and unrest.
"If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience."

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day holiday! Were you raring to get back to work this morning? No? Well, me either. Although I'm very thankful that I have a full-time job, I sure do enjoy those long weekends. There's just something so luxurious feeling about sleeping in on a Monday morning. I could really get used to it.
We didn't have any special plans for the weekend. Mostly cooking and piddling around the house. Then yesterday morning we got in the car and just starting driving. I love doing that. Just riding with no particular destination in mind and no set time to be anywhere. We drove all over northeast Georgia making our way from here to Athens then up through a little town called Elberton, back over to the interstate and home. Everything beyond Athens was a part of the state neither of us had ever seen. We made a few stops along the way to look at interesting things and spent a little while at the outlet shops north of us. I'd say it was a good day all-in-all. A nice, relaxing drive with good company!
I spent the whole day Saturday in the kitchen. It was one of those rare times when I was really energized and just whipped out one recipe after the other. One of those recipes was this Mississippi Mud Cake. It's another from the vintage collection. The best I remember, this one originated in the 70's and it has actually remained pretty popular ever since. It's basically a brownie base with melted marshmallows on top and a chocolate frosting drizzled all over the top. Oh, brother. What could be wrong with that?
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Add the sugar, butter, cocoa, eggs, vanilla, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk it all together until combined. Stir in the flour and 1 1/2 cups of the toasted pecans.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 15×10-inch pan. (Tip: for any chocolate cake, if you want to make sure the finished cake doesn't have white flour on the outside, use cocoa to dust your pan) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and top it evenly with the marshmallows. Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
While the cake is baking, make the frosting. Easy as can be – just place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined and smooth.
Remove the cake from the oven and drizzle chocolate frosting over the top. The marshmallows should have a very lightly toasted look. Sprinkle with the remaining toasted pecans.
It's really important to allow the cake to cool completely before cutting it. I sent some of this to our neighbors across the street on Saturday afternoon. I cut it while it was still warm and it wasn't pretty. It still tasted wonderful, but didn't look very nice. If you let it cool completely, even refrigerate it, before cutting it will look so much nicer.
