First published May 19, 2010
Some moments are lived backwards. The great ones run through your mind like a favourite movie. Then there are the other kind, where you try to roll back the clock - like the afternoon my teenage son launched a brand new Porsche Turbo through our garage door.
So far, I have not managed to invent a time machine, go back, and snatch the key from his hands (and in case you were wondering, the car goes for $180,000, not including freight, tax or a new garage).
That day began with deceptive perfection. I woke up in a sunlit bedroom next to my beautiful wife. We had celebrated 26 years of marriage just the day before. Our cherry tree was in full blossom, and in the garage, locked away like a crown jewel, was a 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo, the latest (and costliest) in a long series of test cars.
When I decided to transition into automotive journalism after more than two and a half decades of news reporting, no one was happier than my son Will. Instead of telling his friends his dad was in Afghanistan (or at a murder scene) he could bring them over to check out the latest ride.
My new trade did have its perils, which include the creeping cynicism of the professional test driver. An auto journalist's existence is like a mechanized version of Hugh Hefner's - when you are presented with an endless cavalcade of automotive beauties, you can easily become jaded.
Now I had the Turbo, the car that every driving aficionado and pension raider dreams of - 500 horsepower, leather-lined cockpit and a 330 km/h top end. Until I drove it, I'd been a little skeptical - I'd seen too many Turbos employed as male enhancement devices by hobbit-looking accountants who couldn't even drive a stick shift.
But the previous day, I had taken it to Mosport racetrack for a high-speed lapping session where it inhaled other cars like so many insects - when they saw the Turbo in their mirror, most simply pulled over to let us pass, acknowledging the Porsche as the alpha car.
I was experiencing the acme of German engineering. The Turbo had launched me up Mosport's kinked back straightaway at more than 250 km/h, then purred back to the city through rush hour traffic, as though it had been magically converted from a race car into a Honda Civic. Best of all, my Turbo was a purist's model, with a six-speed manual transmission - a factor that would play a key role in the events that were about to unfold.
It was early afternoon. Will had just returned from summer job hunting, accompanied by a friend. I was in my home office, writing and looking out at the green park in front of our house. That morning, Will and I had appeared together in a Globe Drive column called A Hockey Dad's Last Ride that commemorated his 14 years in minor hockey.
Will stuck his head into the office and asked me if he could show his buddy the Turbo. I told him to go ahead. He and his friends always checked out my cars. Their main focus seemed to be the interior and stereo systems - details I barely cared about.
I went back to my computer. My car buddies knew I'd been at the track with the Turbo, and they wanted my verdict. I told one it was like a tiger in an Armani suit - killer chassis, unbeatable power, but suave and comfortable, too.
I shut down my computer and prepared to head to the office, smiling at the thought of a few minutes in the Turbo. As I headed out the back door, I saw my son running toward the house. His eyes were the size of dinner plates. He sputtered: "Dad, the Porsche … the Porsche …"
I thought the Turbo had been stolen. Our garage has a full security system, but this is one of the most desirable cars in the world, so you never know. Will tried to speak again. "The Turbo rolled into the door…." I walked past him into the garage.
For nearly a minute, I was too dumbfounded to speak. The Turbo hadn't rolled into the door - it had launched itself through the entire structure. In a distance of approximately four feet, the Turbo had developed enough kinetic energy to blow the entire door apart. Parts of the roller mechanism were scattered through the alley. Dazed, I picked up a bent metal piece - it looked like a Crazy Bone, a toy Will had collected as a little boy.Report Typo/Error

CSL Style Trunk from KHOALTY
1 Attachment(s)
I am awaiting a CSL Style CARBON FIBER trunk from KHOALTY. Anyone ever do business with the company KHOALTY before? How was your experience? Would you use them again? Would you recommend them to a friend?
I think you should've done more research first. There are a lot of discussions on here about khoalty and their products and services. Some people like khoalty, some don't. Some people have had issues, some don't. I haven't had any problems buying things from them. But then again, I never bought a csl trunk. I hope everything works out for you. And post pics when you get the trunk :thumbsup:
Yea I am hoping everything works out. I did research and everything I read about them was good and items were delivered in a timely fashion so I am hoping for the best. I will post pics and keep E46 Fanatics informed if anything goes awry.
I bought matte black grilles and it wasn't the best. The clips that holds it in place on the hood broke when installing it. I had to use some epoxy to keep it in place.
Yep...I should not have ordered from KHOALTY. They never sent me any notice that they was shipping the trunk until I emailed them and asked them when they were shipping it. Also on their website they advertise 3 day shipping. In their reply they state they are refunding me the 3 day shipping fee because,...in their own words....
Shipping is via freight and there is no 3 day shipping. We will be refunding you the 3 day shipping as pilot freight services will be shipping your items as these items will not be accepted by UPS.
If you like to cancel your order, please let us know as well.
Any company that doesnt update their website or make clear the shipping process is suspect at best.

Ramp Drive Test for Curiosity Mars RoverNASA's next Mars rover, Curiosity, drives up a ramp during a test at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., on Sept. 10, 2010. The rover, like its smaller predecessors already on Mars, uses a rocker bogie suspension system to drive over uneven ground. Technicians and engineers in clean room garb watch the test drive carefully inside JPL's Spacecraft Assembly Facility.
The wheels on Curiosity are half a meter (20 inches) in diameter, twice the height of the wheels on earlier Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project will launch Curiosity in late 2011 for arrival at Mars in August 2012. The mission will study whether an intriguing area of Mars has offered environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life and for preserving evidence of whether life existed there.

Science and Technology
I'm sure by now you're all-too-familiar with the annual mobile device product line refresh. Every fall we get updated versions of the now ubiquitous mobile devices. Apple, Amazon, Google, and others all push out slightly updated hardware just in time for the holiday shopping season. This year's upgrades are almost all incremental. If you already own a 2012 device, you should feel comfortable hanging on to it. Users looking to upgrade from models that are two or more years old or shoppers new to mobile devices have good reason to be excited.
Updated November 15, 2013: Your old computer is capable of one more major feat: helping to cure diseases.
In preparation for my soon-to-be-released 2013 device guide, I thought it might be a good time to explain the different versions of Android, the mobile operating system that powers the majority of the devices that I will be writing about. I've written a lot about Android in the last two years, but I've almost always assumed a certain level of knowledge on the reader's part - knowledge that you may in fact lack.
When library customers ask me to show them how to use their laptops, I can't help but notice all the junk they've got that's slowing their computers way down. Some of this is manufacturer-loaded software, but the lion's share of it is from Web sites they've browsed to which inform them they need a particular program or plug-in to run correctly. This is something I addressed at length in my post on Avoiding Sneakware.
About a year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a blog post entitled "Common Computer Myths" that sought to debunk some of the misinformation I hear frequently regarding computers. Well, I'm always running into new techno-falsehoods, so for your consideration: "Even More Common Computer and Tech Myths" and their realities!
I read an article today stating that a new model of the sub-$300 notebook computers known as Chromebooks could be an "Apple-killer," and that if they were stamped with Apple logo they would sell impressive numbers. That inspired an eye roll that nearly left me blind. Chromebooks are nice enough for limited purposes, and they get a lot of hype, but don't let anyone sway you into thinking that these computers are a viable option for personal computing.
Technology: yawn. The last thing anyone expected a gadget addict such as myself to declare is that it's time to stop. Yes, I know there's something new and shiny on the market, and no one wants it more than I do—right here, right now. Here's why I'm going to do my very best to ignore that impulse after this year, and I believe you should, too.
Tech Answers is back! Didja miss me? This time I've got something special for you. Now, I've sampled a veritable cavalcade of different smartphones over the years, from the Treo, to the Blackberry, to the iPhone, and, most lately, the Android. There I landed, and—for the foreseeable future—there I stay. The Treo is long dead (bye-bye!), Blackberry is a dead man walking (so sad), the iPhone's one-time supremacy in the smartphone market is faded (but not gone!), and Windows Phone? Please (no). Android is flourishing when other smartphone platforms are stagnating for one simple reason: it is free and open source. Developers and individuals can do whatever they please with it. You can go to the Android project's site and download the source code for the world's most powerful mobile OS right now for no charge. It is that openness and its benefits that I'm going to ramble about in this post.
Are you a Gmail user? Did you wake up a week or two ago to find that your new messages were now being automatically organized by Gmail into tabs of different, pre-determined categories? And, did you think, like me, that they were really ugly, stupid, and unnecessary? Here's a quick tip on how to rid yourself of them!
Here's how Gmail looks now with its category tabs:
The iPhone's simplicity is one of the key reasons it has been such a success. Pick it up and use it, no muss, no fuss. Sadly, that simplicity comes at the expense of customizability. Aside from changing your wallpaper and creating folders, the iPhone doesn't really offer much in the way of "pimpin' it out." Android to the rescue! If there's one way that Android shines over iPhone, it's that you can make it look pretty much however you'd like, thanks to its open platform nature. The easiest way to accomplish this is by using different launchers. A launcher is the "desktop" user interface of your Android phone. Changing and customizing launchers can help you be more productive and provide an aesthetic better suited to your tastes. The following are my favorite launchers.

Authorized to attack a foreign navy during a period of war, yes. The authorization did not pertain to their possession of said vessels of war. Your argument quickly falls on its face if that's the track you're taking. Letters of Marque and Reprisal are in the Constitution because of the existence of such privately owned vessels, not to magically authorize them into existence.
Back to relatively cheaper matters, the army had muskets, and the people had muskets and some even had fancy new weapons with greater range and accuracy. They were called "rifles". Some people even had cannons, obviously the artillery of the day. If you want a full-auto M16, M4, grenade launcher (with grenades), whatever, there is no reason whatsoever that you should not be allowed to have it. There is no historical evidence that the founders would have endorsed anything like Class III, NFA registration or any of this other idiotic nonsense. There is nothing in the text of the Constitution that authorizes such schemes, or even allows something like the ATF to exist. The 10A, which is completely disregarded these days, expressly prohibits the federal government from doing anything the Constitution doesn't spell out for it. If the cops and military can have it, YOU absolutely should be able to have it. There is no authority to change the meaning to "not unduly infringed" or any other imaginary crap.

This wonderful book just arrived at work, Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail 1700-1915. It was published to coincide with an exhibition celebrating the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's acquisition of a large number of European clothing and accessories. The book is lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs, much like the Fashion in Detail books, although I do like the fact that this gives you both a full length photo of the garment as well as closeups showing details of the construction and decoration.
This mantle, from Paris in around 1891, is wool and silk velvet, embroidered with metallic thread and glass beads, and with an ostrich feather trim. You can see a closeup of the embroidery at the back the garment in the photo at the top of this post.
As well as several interesting essays at the beginning of the book, there is a timeline of the periods covered, illustrated with costumes photographed on the same mannequins so you can really get a feel for the silhouette of each period. The remainder of the book is divided into three sections: Textiles, Tailoring, and Trim. This green suit from around 1760 in France, made of wool and heavily embroidered with metallic thread, sequins and silk, weighs over 9 pounds! There are a couple of great closeups of the embroidery, including a double-page spread of the front of the waistcoat.
The back view of a woman's dress from the House of Rouff, Paris, around 1897. There is a wide selection of clothing in the book, and a lot of accessories as well, including a variety of underwear (even a man's corset) and other things such as parasols, fans, beaded purses and slippers, bonnets, and even a pair of fetish boots from 1900! Although there is probably twice as much women's clothing in the book than there is men's, there are some truly splendid examples of embroidered waistcoats, smoking caps, and 18th century French suits. If you are interested in seeing some outstanding examples of tailoring and embroidery, this is the book for you!

Beauty Alphabet - E
"E" is for Eyes and Eyebrows (the focal point of beauty)
"If you want to dazzle your friends, you must have sparkling eyes. Tired eyes do not shine, so -
- Avoid eye strain - reading in a bad light and squinting in strong sunlight
- Have your desk placed so that the light so that the light shines onto your work OVER your shoulder. (Your boss will probably help you readjust your table if you ask him nicely.)
Here are some hints for correct make-up for eyes and eyebrows.
- After powdering your face you should brush your eyebrows and eyelashes with a clean brush. Keep a special box for these tiny brushes, as they get very dusty if left with other make-up.
- Brush mascara on the top lashes only, beginning at the inside corner. When buying mascara, be sure to choose a shade to match your colouring. You don't want to look as if you've got false lashes and this is exactly the effect you will achieve if you use the wrong shade.
- When your mascara has dried, smear on both upper and lower lashes a light coating of vaseline. This will encourage growth and add lustre to your lashes.
- If you use an eyebrow pencil, be sure not to extend the line too far past the end of your eyes. You should keep your pencil sharp and apply it in a strong light with a good mirror.
- Eyebrows should be plucked from underneath the brow ONLY. Removing the hairs on top will only alter your expression and give you a "vacant" look.
- If your brows are very untidy it is a good idea to have them professionally plucked the first time, and then you have a line to follow.
- For a final touch of glamour, there is eye-shadow. There a numerous colours from which to choose - so there is no excuse for using the wrong colour and looking grotesque.
- Eye-shadow should be smeared on the top of the eyelid and extended out to the edge of the brow.
- Eye-shadow looks silly at nine o'clock in the morning - but adds just the right touch of sophistication for dates after the sunset."

Masqerade Ball
Last night Alice and I went off to the Bohemian Masquerade Ball at the Thornbury Theatre. I'm wearing a 1950s ballgown from Rose Chong Costumes, leather gloves from Etsy, an old seqinned scarf I've had for ages, and mask I made myself.
Don't William and Alice make a lovely couple? William (who is Metal Couture) made both those masks, which are silver and very heavy. The feathers on his were so enormous, he kept poking people in the face who were standing metres away, but everybody loved it so much, and he had to pose for dozens of photos.
Me and Thea, a lovely lady who works for William and is a very talented jeweller herself. I wish I had got a photo of her whole outfit, as she had made herself a feather cape. My mask was just one of those cheap ones, stripped of all it's decoration, and then edged in grey ribbon, with a few rhinestones, and some new feathers.
Everybody put so much effort into their costumes, it was quite amazing. My favourites were Anthony and Jess, who looked just divine! You can't go wrong with chainmail, silver hotpants, or tiny chandeliers attached to your head.
A closer look at Jess' fantastic makeup and face decoration. I have a huge girl-crush on her, this girl knows how to dress up! Plus, that is all her own hair!
There was a whole lot of great entertainment throughout the night, including The Barons of Tang, Mojo Juju, Kira Puru, and Percy Valentine's Swing Orchestra who played from up on the top balcony. We were also entertained by some acts, including a gorgeous burlesque performer, Frankie Valentine. She started one of her acts dressed like this...
And ended it up like this! Her performance was very polished, sexy and best of all, quite funny. All in all, a great night out!

Beauty Alphabet - D
Here's your weekly installment in The Argus Beauty Alphabet from 1950, this week it's:
"D" is for Daintiness
"D is for daintiness and is possibly the most important letter in the beauty alphabet. You cannot be well groomed if you have not first of all been well scrubbed. No make-up looks attractive unless the skin is fresh and clean.
- Your bath can be an important beauty treatment, so use a good soap, and use it generously.
- A complexion brush used with a circular motion can work wonders with the neck, elbows, knees and heels.
- As steam, plus cream, does a double-time lubricating job, scrub the face, neck and cuticles first, then massage in cream and let the steam do the rest.
- If you want to be fragrant and dainty, a daily use of a deoderant is a must
- And, of course, you shampoo you hair once a week? Two lathers and three rinses will bring out attractive lights and leave your hair bright and shiny.
- Your eyes and teeth are precious possessions, which you must guard as if they were heirloom jewels.
- Wear glasses if you really need them - (Men DO make passes, at girls who wear glasses), and no matter how much you like reading in bed, discontinue the habit if the light does not shine directly on to your book.
- Then there are your hands and your nails. Keep a nail brush and hand lotion in your office drawer, and give them a good scrub during your lunch hour.
- Nail varnish is fun. BUT please watch for chipped polish. Nothing looks worse."
Bernice says:
"Don't I look alright?"
"No; for instance, you never take care of your eyebrows. They're black and lustrous, but by leaving them straggly, they're a blemish. They'd be beautiful if you'd take care of them in one-tenth the time you take doing nothing. You're going to brush them so they grow straight."
Bernice raised the brows in question.
"Do you mean to say that men notice eyebrows?"
"Yes - subconsciously. And when you go home you ought to have your teeth straightened a little. It's almost imperceptible, still --"
"But I thought," interrupted Bernice in berwilderment, "that you despised little dainty feminine things like that."
"I hate dainty minds," answered Marjorie. "But a girl has to be dainty in person. If she looks like a million dollars she can talk about Russia, ping-pong, or the League of Nations and get away with it."

Grey Gardens the Movie
Here, finally, are my screenshots for Grey Gardens. The film, starring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie, and Jessica Lange as Big Edie, was made for HBO in 2009. It's about the lives of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, also named Edith, who were the subjects of the 1976 documentary Grey Gardens by the Maysles brothers, which I posted about earlier.
The film flashes back and forth between the 1930s and 40s, and the filming of the documentary in 1976. I decided to just concentrate on the costumes from the earlier period. If you want to see Little Edie's amazing sweater-on-the-head outfits from 1976, go straight to the source and rent the documentary.
The costume designer for the film was Cat Thomas, who also designed the costumes for Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2. There is an interesting interview with her about Grey Gardens from Glamour.
The first flashback in the film is to 1936, when Little Edie is attending her debutant ball. The dress she is wearing is really lovely. Of an ivory or cream brocade, the bodice is ruched at the front with a row of little covered buttons in black, as well as a black trim, which is echoed on the bottom of the bias-cut skirt.
As the dress is quite revealing, there is a delightful matching bolero jacket to go over the top, with short, puffed sleeves, and black lapels. The accessories include long white gloves, a triple string of pearls, and pearl stud earrings.
It was very difficult to get a shot of the whole dress, but here you can see the black band around the hem, and also her high heels, which were a silvery colour.
I took a couple of shots of Little Edie's hair from this scene, as I think the style is really pretty. It appears to have been caught back on either side with white flowered combs, and then the rest of the hair is caught up in a very fine hairnet.
You can just see the top of the hairnet stretching between the two flowered combs in this shot.
I tried and tried to get a shot of Big Edie's dress in this scene, but she kept moving! As far as I can tell, it was a very dark blue dress, with a draped v-neckline, and long sleeves which were slit down the length of them. Here she is about to put on the Beale family jewels, a lovely Art Deco style necklace and earring set.
This is my favourite Big Edie outfit, when they return to Grey Gardens after being in New York. Look at that marvelous sweeping hat! Her necklace is a cluster of golden crocodiles. You can't see in this picture, but Big Edie is wearing a pair of wide-legged coral palazzo pants.
Here's a shot of the back of that gorgeous coat, can't you just imagine swanning around in it?
This is Little Edie's gorgeous summery 1930s outfit. She is meant to be 19 in this scene, so it's girly, but bit grown-up at the same time. Look at the detailing around the neckline of the blouse, and how the brim of the hat is attached so it swoops around.
The rest of the outfit. Nice pockets on the shorts.
Little Edie down at the beach with her younger cousin, Jaqueline (later to become Jackie Kennedy). Imagine having such a glamorous older cousin!
Here's another shot, from Just Jared. Note the matching white bathing cap!
Another of Big Edie's lounging-around-at-home outfits. I suppose this is the 1930s equivalent of a tracksuit, but damn, so much classier! The robe has a little tassel hanging from the bottom of each sleeve, and from the collar at the back.
Again, palazzo pants, this time in a delicious crushed raspberry. I bet that whole outfit was silk, divine!
The Edies have a house party. Little Edie's dress is based on one that she actually wore in real life.
The real Little Edie, aged 21, modelling a dress at the 1938 East Hampton Fair.
The dress is quite unusual, in that it has a zipper down the front, and also a hood.
Big Edie's outfit is all ambers and oranges. Again, palazzo pants, which seem to be her signature, and I suppose mark her out as a bit of a bohemian. Her velvet coat is cinched in at the waist with a jewelled buckle, and she is wearing several strings of amber-coloured beads. Check out her matching shoes!
Here is a full-length shot of the two outfits, the Edies doing a soft shoe shuffle.
Big Edie seems to favour robes with an 'oriental' flavour, both in cut and pattern. The oriental look (which seems to have covered anything vaguely exotic) was popular during the 1920s and 30s in fashion and home decor, and would have suited Big Edie's bohemian aesthetic. Here she is wearing a Chinese robe embroidered with bamboo.
Little Edie heads off to go live in New York in this outfit. This would have been 1947, when Edie was 30. The figure hugging dress doesn't look very 40s to me, but perhaps that is deliberate, to show that stuck in East Hampton, Edie was out of touch with the current fashions?
Anyway, it's a great dress, I love the colour. It looks like a very fine knit to me, with some cable and eyelet detail, and round buttons on the shoulders and I think around the hip area too. The hat is almost 20s style ivory felt cloche with lines of stitching around the turned-back brim.
This is my favourite of all Little Edie's outfits. The divine belted blouse, the short black gloves with notched wrists, that perchy little straw hat! Edie is all dressed up to have lunch with Father, and looks every inch the 1940s Woman About Town.
A horribly blurry photo, but I wanted you to see how the blouse is belted over a black pencil skirt. You can just see the gloves in this picture.
Another shot of the hat, which appears to have a woven straw bow on the front. Also, I love Edie's makeup and hair.
Big Edie relaxing at home. She's become a little less glamorous in the intervening years, but she's still wearing lipstick and those great bakelite bangles even at home. Those of you who have seen the documentary will recognise that hat as the one Big Edie wears in bed, also featured on the film poster.
Edie modelling furs in New York. I want that leopard fur on the right!
This dress actually has tiny beads scattered all over the top of the bodice, but I couldn't seem to capture this. Love the notched neckline.
This is the little jacket Edie puts on over the blue dress after she has finished modelling.
A classic, romantic ball gown for Edie's romance with Julis Albert Krug, the US Secretary of the Interior. Julius was married, and in the documentary, Big Edie refers to him, saying "That married man was not going to give you any chance at all."
The grey and lemon colour combination is unusual, and I like the way the grey part wraps round the waist and then falls down the front and back. Also, there are those inverted triangles of grey at the sides of the waist.
A closeup of Edie's pretty diamante necklace.
Meanwhile, abandoned by her lover, and all alone at Grey Gardens, Big Edie is letting herself go. These chenille dressing-gowns must have been popular in the 1950s, as Bettie was wearing a dark red one in one of the scenes from The Notorious Bettie Page. Chenille, by the way, comes from the French word for caterpillar.
Another lovely 50s dress for Little Edie, this time an Air Force blue cocktail dress with three-dimensional roses on the skirt and bodice.
Here you can see the beautiful skirt of this dress, and that tiny lucite clutch.
Little Edie returns to Grey Gardens. Her travelling outfit is very smart, a grey button-through skirt, black back-button blouse cinched in at the waist with a belt, short black mesh gloves, and a small black hat.
A close-up of the hat and gloves.
I had to take this picture to show you the back of the blouse, which is notched at the back of the pelmet. By now it was 1952, and Little Edie was 35. Her clothes are very smart and quite sober and grown-up.
Love this gorgeous print dress Big Edie wears to welcome back her daughter in. Great colour and print, and it matches with her collection of bangles.
With her daughter back, Big Edie returns to her chic look of a kimono over a silk top and palazzo pants, like she wore back in the 1930s.
A sweet ruffled sundress in chocolate and caramel stripes.
You can sort of see how the circle skirt is gathered up on the side in this picture.
This was the only picture I could get of the whole dress, very small and blurry!
I'm not sure if this cardigan/top is printed or embroidered all over. It's quite striking, and has a slightly exotic feel to it like many of Big Edie's clothing.
Little Edie is in holiday mode at home, wearing a totally 50s combination of pedal pushers and a sleeveless blouse over a black bra. Was that acceptable in the 1950s to go out with your underwear showing?
The blouse is really quite sweet, with lots of stitching detail around the collar and armholes.
I found this shot somewhere on the web, Drew Barrymore on set. Ignore the awkward pose! Edie decides on the spur of the moment to go to New York for her audition, and just ties a white scarf over her hair and hops in the car like this.
Back at home, her heart broken, Little Edie goes to the beach. Her hair was falling out again now, so I guess that's why she had that kerchief over it. It's a sad picture when you contrast it with the earlier beach scene in her white swimsuit, when all her life was ahead of her full of possibilities.
Another kimono for Big Edie, this one was worn with lemon yellow pants.
The Edies at the reading of Phelan Beale's will. Later in the film, they will wear these exact same outfits as they sit on their beds and watch the funeral of John. F Kennedy on the television.
I tried to lighten this picture so you could see that Big Edie's dress, with its dramatic shawl collar, was actually made of a self-patterned fabric, perhaps a silk brocade?
Little Edie is wearing the same little hat that she wore when she was so happy in New York.
Well, that's it, pretty much every outfit in the whole movie! I hope you enjoy looking through these pictures and maybe getting some inspiration from them.

Rockies still trying to find match with Seth Smith
Rockies outfielder Seth Smith remains one of the more attractive hitters on the trade market, and club officials still want to trade him for a No. 4 starter or perhaps a second baseman, major-league sources say.
To this point, the Rockies have yet to find a match, but they continue to talk about Smith, who is eligible for arbitration for the first time and has drawn interest from more than a half-dozen clubs.
Smith, 29, had an .830 OPS in 533 plate appearances last season. His home-road splits were fairly even, but he batted only .217/.272/.304 against lefties and regressed defensively, scouts say.
Still, Smith profiles as a reasonably appealing solution for teams in need of offense, especially considering that he is under club control for three more years.
The Rays, who are open to trading right-hander Jeff Niemann or Wade Davis, would appear an obvious fit, but Smith is a near-duplication of one of the team's left-handed hitting outfielders, Matt Joyce.
The Athletics, another club that likes Smith, might be a more logical partner - they still need outfielders and have a number of starters who could appeal to the Rockies, including left-hander Josh Outman and righty Tyson Ross.
The Mariners, too, have interest in Smith, but their most expendable starter, lefty Jason Vargas, is a fly-ball pitcher whose stuff probably would not play well at Coors Field.
Talks with the Braves cooled when the teams could not agree on the pitching prospect that the Rockies would include with Smith to get Martin Prado, sources say.
The Indians, Red Sox and Mets are among the other teams that have shown varying levels of interest in Smith.

text: Hi, my girlfriend was recently rear ended and when she took her car into a body shop they told her she needed a whole new bumper. She never had the work done and 6 months passed. I was in a scrap yard the other day trying to get a new interior door panel and i asked about the rear bumper, a few of the guys looked at it and claimed that it would not need replacing and that the body shop only wanted to replace it as the insurance was supposed to cover it. Anyways the guys told me that I should be able to take it slightly off and push it back on properly and then can take care of the scratches easily myself. So I went out today to try and look into taking off the bumper but I could not figure it out (and was also scared to experiment). My question is: How the hell do you get that bumper off and back on again?

Since the remodel of our course in 2003 we have not set a course record off our full blue disc 6824 yards course.
We decided in July 2012 that we would hold a course record week. On the 27th July 2012 Mr Padraig Mcgrath past member of Dromoland and now PGA member carded an excellent 71 gross in poor conditions and the score proved to be the only player of the week to shoot under par. Since then our Senior Scratch cup is the only competition played off the full blue disc.
During our Senior Scratch cup held on 17th August 2014 a new course record was achieved. Congratulations to Colm Crowley of Woodbrook golf club on shooting a 3 under par score of 69 in tough windy conditions. We wish him every success in the future.

Target: U.S. Congress
Goal: Pass legislation that would suspend bee-killing pesticides to save bee populations from massive decline
Studies have shown that neonicotinoids—a type of toxic pesticide—have caused large-scale declines in U.S. bee populations. This raises a concern because numerous crops are reliant on bee pollination. These crops make up about $30 billion worth of food and they will be under threat if the honeybee population is not sustained.
A government-sponsored study shows that in winter 2012, U.S. beekeepers lost 45.1 percent of their bee populations. Some beekeepers lost their entire colony. This loss may be attributed to a threat known as the Colony Collapse Disorder, a situation where bees exposed to pesticides are at great risk of being infected with a parasite called Nosema ceranae. This parasite can kill off entire colonies of bees at once, making the bee population and the foods that they pollinate extremely vulnerable to wipeout.
Recently, Rep. John Conyers and Rep. Earl Blumenauer proposed legislation called Save America's Pollinators Act of 2013 that if passed, would suspend at least four types of toxic pesticides (imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, and dinotafuran).
By signing this petition you will help urge Congress to pass this legislation in order to halt the use of toxic pesticides that may kill off our bee population and create a threat to the portion of the United States' food supply that depends on bee pollination.
Dear members of Congress,
For the past few years, the massive decline of honeybees in the United States has been a great concern, especially since about $30 billion worth of our food depends on bee pollination to properly develop. Reports have linked the large-scale death of bees to the use of toxic pesticides, which may lead to decreased resistance of bees to harmful pesticides. This decreased resistance has caused full colonies of bees to die at once, a situation dubbed Colony Collapse Disorder, that puts the honeybee's existence at risk.
I understand that recently, U.S. representatives John Conyers and Earl Blumenauer have proposed legislation called Save America's Pollinators Act of 2013 that aims to suspend four types of toxic pesticides that are seen as harmful to the honeybees' survival. Please allow this legislation to pass so that we can save our honeybee population.

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML "When I hear the word culture I reach for my gun": Goering, the James Bond franchise, and now the UK government. The new EBacc has left art and music out of its core curriculum, providing such a disincentive for these subjects that 27 per cent of schools have withdrawn related subjects from the curriculum, according to Ipsos Mori research. A number of high profile figures in the arts expressed their concern to the Guardian. If the trend continues "we risk ending up with a two-tier system where arts are regarded as second-class subjects", Cultural Learning Alliance's Lizzie Crump told the Guardian. Too late Lizzie Crump! The arts have been second class subjects for some time. In 2011, the postgrad places for trainee teachers were reduced by 220 places for art and 180 places for music. 206 arts companies lost their core funding last year, according to the 2011 spending review, and one in ten shut down as a result. And last week 117 jobs were cut at the Arts Council England, which has reduced internal costs by half. (It plans to cut a fifth of its workforce by July). The way the trend is going, even if we can save art qualifications there'll be little use for them in a few years time. No wonder the Guardian's commenters are arguing for the arts on the basis of their psychological benefits, rather than their career prospects. › "Engineered for men": the rise of "Yorkie" advertising Shooting the arts in the face.

Technical Abstract: There has been increased attention focused on phosphorus (P) management because of water quality concerns resulting from eutrophication. In fresh water systems, elevated P inputs can lead to accelerated eutrophication and degraded water quality. Despite water quality concerns, adequate levels of soil P must be maintained to promote optimal crop production. Therefore, management options for P must be flexible addressing agronomic concerns while providing water quality protection. The P index is a field evaluation tool that was developed to identify areas that have a high vulnerability or risk of P loss to surface water bodies. This tool combines indicators of P sources and of P transport. The P source indicators used in the Pennsylvania P Index are: Mehlich -3 soil test P, fertilizer application rate and method, and manure application rate, method and P availability. The transport indicators used are: erosion, runoff potential, sub-surface drainage, distance to a water body, and an evaluation of management practices that impact how P is potentially lost from a field. The approach to using the P Index is to develop a nitrogen based nutrient management plan and then evaluate this plan using the P Index. Included in this fact sheet is a brief description of each P Index factor, the information needed for each factor's determination, and a P Index worksheet that can be used to determine the P Index value for multiple fields. Currently, USDA-NRCS in Pennsylvania requires P-based plans developed using the P Index described in this fact sheet. This requirement is a part of the Practice Standard 590 - Nutrient Management and impacts agricultural operators receiving technical or financial assistance for manure related issues.

Pirates Made Offer to De La Rosa
The Pirates made an offer to De La Rosa.
One of the biggest complaints after Jorge De La Rosa re-signed with the Colorado Rockies was that the Pittsburgh Pirates didn't even make an offer to their top free agent target. Those complaints seemed strange, since there was no evidence to support the claims. Ken Rosenthal mentioned that only the Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies had made offers, but other reports, such as Buster Olney of ESPN and Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, reported that De La Rosa received multiple offers, outside of what the Rockies were offering.
Dejan Kovacevic reports today that the Pirates did make a highly competitive offer to De La Rosa. Yesterday, Buster Olney posted an update on Twitter saying that De La Rosa turned down multiple offers that were...

Monitoring Your Rabbit's Weight
Once your rabbit has reached adulthood, his or her weight should remain reasonably consistent. Any weight gain or loss may be an indication that your rabbit's diet needs adjusting or that there is an underlying health issue that needs to be investigated.
Is My Rabbit too Fat or too Thin?
It can be difficult to judge a rabbit's body condition visually because their thick fur can hide prominent bones or disguise fat. It will help you to feel your rabbit so you can tell what is underneath the fluff.
A rabbit that's a healthy weight should have a smooth curve from neck to tail, and from hip to hip. You should be able to feel the spine and ribs but they should feel rounded not sharp - like they have a thin layer of padding. It's normal, particularly for females, to have a roll of fur under the chin (called a dewlap), this can look like fat but should just feel like a fold of skin when gently pinched.
Note: These photos have been altered digitally; no bunny was harmed during their production.
Too Thin
As a rabbit looses weight the bones of the pelvis and the ridges of the spine and ribs become increasingly prominent and feel sharp and angular. A very underweight rabbit will have depressions each side of the pelvis and spine. As fat decreases muscle starts to be lost too, which means the legs will be thin and their ability to move maybe compromised.
Too Fat
As a rabbit gets overweight their ribs, hips and spine become hard to feel beneath the layer of fat. Rolls of fat often develop around the tail and ankles, and the dewlap (the fold of skin under the chin) can become extremely large and feels plump. Fat also develops on the chest and stomach area, and may hang down underneath. Viewed from above the rabbit has no obvious waist.
Weighing Your Rabbit
It is much easier to identify changes in your rabbit's body weight using scales rather than visual cues. Checking your rabbits weight regularly will act as an early warning sign of a problem that needs addressing. It's much easier to adjust your rabbits diet at the first sign of weight gain than once your rabbit is already noticeably fat.
You can weigh your rabbit on normal kitchen or bathroom scales. If your rabbit won't sit still, weigh your rabbit in a carrier, and then deduct the weight of the empty carrier. Make sure you keep a note of the date and weight so you can keep track of changes.
What should my rabbit weigh?
This is a difficult question because every rabbit is an individual. Weight varies between rabbits, even those of the same breed, so it is important you compare your rabbit to his normal weight not a breed average. For example, the BRC Breed Standards state that a Dwarf Lop should weigh between 1.93kg and 2.381kg. This is a difference of almost half a kilogram - which would take a rabbit that should be on the lower end significantly overweight and one on the higher range, underweight.
If you are unsure if your rabbit is the correct weight then your vet will be able to examine your rabbit and give you an idea of the ideal weight for your specific bunny. If your rabbit has already been to a vet they may already have a weight recorded for you rabbit recorded in their notes - phone and check.
Weight Gain
If your rabbit puts on excess weight, it is a sign that his diet is providing too much energy and the excess is being stored as fat. Rabbits generally become over weight due to overfeeding energy rich foods, like commercial dry rabbit food, combined with a lack of exercise. A healthy adult rabbit that is gaining weight may need its diet altered to prevent it becoming over weight. This is usually done by reducing the amount of dry food, or feeding a brand that is higher in fibre, and topping up with more hay and fresh foods (leafy greens not high sugar fruits and root vegetables).
Weight Loss
If your rabbit is losing weight then it could mean his diet is not providing enough energy and his body is using up stored energy to compensate. However, it is rare for rabbit's to lose weight purely through a lack of adequate nutrition. Often weigh loss signals a medical problem so you should always consult a vet before assuming it is a diet related.

National Repertory Orchestra brings back season favorites
July 19, 2012
This week's National Repertory Orchestra lineup includes a season-favorite pops concert featuring a young pianist, a brunch performance and a revered guest conductor. All three concerts take place at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge.
Tonight's 7:30 p.m. "Topilow Pops" concert is packed with recognizable favorites. After music director Carl Topilow joins the orchestra for "South Rampart Street Parade" by Baudue and Bob Haggart on clarinet, vocalists Jennifer DeDominici and Daniel Fosha will sing popular selections from "West Side Story," "Secret Garden," "Titanic," "Phantom of the Opera" and more.
Another feature of "Topilow Pops" will be Haydn's Concerto for Piano in D major, Op. 21 played by young pianist Paul Sri. Sri, who recently received first place in the Schmitt Music Competition in Denver, began playing piano at age 2, starting formal lessons at age 5. He has a particular fondness for Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, he said.
"We are excited to have Paul Sri performing the first movement of Haydn's Piano Concerto in D. We have hosted the winners of the Schmitt Piano Competition each year and are delighted to give these opportunities to talented young Colorado pianists," Topilow said.
Sunday, guests can join the NRO for a brunch concert at 11 a.m. featuring compositions by Dvorak. Guest artists Molly Werts and Trevor Kazarian join on violin and cello, respectively.
Werts, a 2010 orchestra alumnus and Kansas native, plays as a substitute violin with the New World Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic and the Kansas City Symphony. "For years I have dreamed of playing in a great professional orchestra, and I am constantly working toward that goal. But what I love most about music is the possibility of exploring many different genres and becoming a versatile performer," she said.
Kazarian, who will play the cello solo on Rondo for Cello and Orchestra in G minor, began playing cello at age 6 under Nancy Blum. Kazarian is currently pursuing a master's degree at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studies with Stephen Geber.
The brunch concert is designed so attendees can enjoy a meal in town before or after the performance. "I hope to see families come out and enjoy the music and the fine restaurants of Breckenridge," marketing director Julie Chandler said.
Rounding out this week's concerts, the NRO welcomes back guest conductor Peter Oundjian Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
The Toronto-born conductor is noted for his "probing musicality, collaborative spirit, and engaging personality," and has been instrumental in the rebirth of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra since his appointment as music director in 2004, according to his bio.
"Maestro Oundjian is very detail oriented and holds the musicians to an extremely high standard. The 2011 orchestra raved about his energy and inspiration, and how he keeps the orchestra engaged through his energetic rehearsal technique," Chandler said.
Oundjian will lead the orchestra through Edouard Lalo's Concerto for Cello in D major and Richard Strauss' "Ein Heldenleben."
Tickets for National Repertory Orchestra concerts range from $7 for juniors to $35. For ticket information and purchase, call the orchestra at (970) 453-5825. To purchase online, visit the website at http://www.nromusic.com

We are doing good and hope everyone else is also. We started going to the park again. Of course mom made us get a shot first. But we have had a chance to get to meet new friends.
Including a really big St Bernard that ran right into mom at the park and tackled her straight onto himself. (hehehe) Even mom could not stop laughing, all she was worried about is if Samson (the St Bernard) was ok (to expensive to fix doggy damage).
But other than that not much exciting. We love you all Anook and Meisha
We hope everyone is doing well, mom and dad have been sick, after we got the flu so did the humans around us.
Mommy took us to the park today and I got out of my leash. I think i scared mom because i heard her yell, but when she called me i listened and she was so happy because she hugged me really tight.
Me and Max (a neighbor German Shepard) got into a little bit of a scuffle and both got yelled at. We played nicely after that.
We came home and mom gave us tofu with our dinner, Me and Meisha scarfed it up so fast. It was yummy.
Luv, Anook
Mom has been dealing with some issues. we had a sad happening with a friend and neighbor that has lead to our preoccupation. but we did post some new video for everyone to see that Anook and Meisha are doing great. Again thank you so much for everyones support. love Cin

Dogster is fun but it loads very slowly on my computer and I ended up starting a blog on myspace because that is where my human brother and sister are. In the past month I have met over 650 cool dogs, cats, birds, fish and a turtle even!
Come see me there at:
Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!
Haute Dogs of Long Beach will be having a bulldog beauty contest as a fundraiser and I have entered as Ms. Silicon Valley.
I don't know if I have any chance of winning one of the prizes but I am excited to be going on vacation with mom and dad...and it's at the beach...and cousin Julia will be there...I'm excited...what will I wear? Haven't decided yet.
Other news:
I have a myspace account - visit me there if you have one too!
Yesterday was my human brother's birthday....he turned 18...the humans were very happy and had a big meal and my brother opened presents...seems like fun...I had fun too. I got to get up on mom's bed this morning and snuggle for awhile...and then she mistakenly gave me two scoops of food for dinner...oops...lucky me :) and then I got to play with everyone that came for dinner.
I am tired now...happy birthday Steven...I'll keep an eye on your room while you are gone.

Re: weibull distribution
Yes. Rather than give you an example, which might be slightly different from
what you actually want, have a look at "Statistics`NonlinearFit`" in the
standard packages. You will also probably want
Statistics`ContinuousDistributions` unless you are going to specify your
own function (as I usually do because the form of the Weibull I need is for
fitting psychometic data and is in a slightly unusual form.
So you notebook will have
Needs["Statistics`NonlinearFit`" ];
and the rest should be clear from the Help.

how can i get the radio code with out going thru the dealer or taking out my radio
how can i get the radio code with out going thru the dealer or taking out my radio
Check the owners manual and any documentation that came with the car looking for a four digit number. Also look to see if they wrote it down in the spare tire well. Some replacement radios have had the number written on the radio itself (totally defeating the purpose of a locking radio). The radio isn't difficult to remove if you have access to the removal tools. You insert the tools into the small slots on the face-plate of the radio and the radio slides right out of the dash.
Some radios will unlock themselves when you start the car and all the other modules come on-line. With some of these, the radio talks to the other modules (CCM or Cluster?) and if it sees it's in the car it belongs in, will un-SAFE on its own.
Was this radio working in this car before or is it a replacement unit?
I have the same problem...It is a car I am getting from a friend who had it stored at his farm since aquiring. There is NO code anywhere in the vehicle(believe me I've checked every square inch!) The local stealership told my friend it would be $45 to get code. I have just gotten the whole car cleaned up and would at least like to hear what shape the radio is in before deciding to replace it or not. Can't afford the $45 just to find out if I like it or not. I heard of a guy on here called 98greendash who helps people get codes....but my pm messages dont seem to reach him. I have vin # and radio is OUT so I have radio #also...can anyone help?
yes thank you steve once i turned the car off when i got back in it in the am the radio was working again. will this happen any time i take the battery off also like if i had to replace the battery .
Just seen them called that on here...so I followed suit. Sorry! I saw one guy post that it is right in the cars manual that the service has no charge...but have seen ALOT more saying "D"ealership wants the $$. Guess I was just frustrated cuz I have NO idea what the radio even sounds like...If I had gotten to hear it and thought the sound was good...I would consider paying the $45 F(r)EE Hope I didn't offend anyone, it was nothing personal really...
If you already have the radio out (so they can read the numbers in the back) the dealership shouldnt be charging you anything.
I ve done this 3 times in 3 different dealerships.
If you can't afford the $45 fee for this, then the Passat is the wrong car for you.
I called the dealership gave the vin number and radio number and they gave me the code I told I was willing to pay them there fee but they didn't,I got lucky I think.
If you need a radio code, and have the serial number, just send it to me. I will help you out.
Need a radio code. Have serials and vin. Dealer wanted to charge and said they couldn't get back to me until Thursday. Need it from battery dying.
Thank you!!!

Psychedelic pop band The Green Pajamas, who hail from Seattle, began in 1984, releasing tapes on small labels throughout the decade to very little press. After taking off most of the 1990s, they came back again with a suitably buzzed-about indie gem, Strung Behind the Sun. This was 1997, a pretty harsh year for the rock world (boy bands and Hanson ruled the charts), and these career musicians, led by singer/songwriter Jeff Kelly, really deserved to make it big in the '80s. The Green Pajamas belong among other '60s-doting '80s bands, such as R.E.M. and U2, the band oft-channeled in their new release, 21st Century Séance.
Though 21st Century Séance is a bit more haunting and jagged than anything Bono and co. have released, there seems to me a striking similarity between lead singer Jeff Kelly's mopey tenor and the B-man's trademark wail. Perhaps The Green Pajamas are a Choose Your Own Adventure-ending to a mega-pop band's maturity: this album is the sort that U2 could be releasing, in the obscurity that they might have feared before The Joshua Tree secured them a place in rock history. But The Green Pajamas don't screw around; they are, and seemingly always have been, a self-reliant band.
The Green Pajamas
21st Century Séance
US: 18 Oct 2005
UK: 12 Dec 2005
The record opens lushly with two gems: "The Secret of Bethany's Mouth", and the instantly catchy anthem "Jenny V". This is the high point; the rest of the album finds the band wavering back and forth between creeping-stalker lullabies and chilled out Bono sound-a-likes such as "This Haunted Hill" and "Gazelle". Kelly and his band make the type of sweeping pop music that cannot be easily categorized, and this contributes directly to its lack of hipness. The album's moodier pop songs point to other no-frills 1980s/'90s acts like Luna and The Go-Betweens, but lack the hooks that pull the listener in.
Some songs don't really cut it (The Laura Weller-performed "True Lover" contains cringe-inducing Alice In Chains harmonies), and 21st Century Séance has its share of annoying literary references. On tracks like "Chip Chop", they really get down and psychedelic, and it's only then that they seem truly focused.
The Green Pajamas are a band with a lot of potential in that their sound is accessible. They would fit in very well on adult-rock stations alongside their 1980s predecessors, but it seems like nowadays there isn't too much room on the airwaves for new mature pop bands with literary leanings. Unless, that is, they do something great. There is nothing unforgettable here, and though plenty haunting, 21st Century Séance doesn't quite have the weight of other similarly simple albums. The Green Pajamas are just a typical group of hardworking, smart musicians doing what they want without fanfare. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Brew Durham is a beer festival that celebrates the art and craft of making home brewed beer. This event was started in 2011 by local home brewer Keil Jansen as a fundraiser to benefit The Scrap Exchange. Home brewers naturally embody a DIY and creative spirit that is also a hallmark of The Scrap Exchange mission, and the festival easily blossomed into an annual event.
The festival takes place on Belt Line Station, an old train platform that has been converted to a unique outdoor event space at The Cordoba Center for the Arts in Durham. Attendees will be invited to taste 50 types of beer crafted by 25 of the Triangle's finest home brewers. As an added bonus, Bull City Burger and Brewery will unveil a special brew created just for this event!
Brew Durham 4 also includes a new tasty treat for ticket holders – food served by local restaurants prepared with local ingredients! Six downtown Durham restaurants have teamed up with The Scrap Exchange and brewers to provide a delicious sampling of small bite appetizers prepared specifically to accompany the home brew during the festival. Participating restaurants include: Monuts Donuts, Toast, Geer Street Garden, Dos Perros, Mateo Bar de Tapas, and Loaf. As an additional home-grown element to the festival, restaurants will be using pastured-raised pork and organic North Carolina veggies donated for the event by Farmhand Foods, and Eastern Carolina Organics (ECO).
Brew Durham 4 will include two tasting sessions:
Session 1 runs from 1:00pm-4:00pm.
Session 2 runs from 5:00pm-8:00pm.
Advance tickets cost $35 per session, and can be purchased online at brewdurham4.eventbrite.com. Want to attend the event with friends or family as a designated driver?

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – The 2006-07 Wittenberg Series continues this week with the university's annual Lessons and Carols for Advent and Christmas service, which is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1 in Weaver Chapel. Pre-service music will begin at 7 p.m.
The traditional service, which has been celebrated in Weaver Chapel for more than 30 years, is marked by the lighting of hundreds of candles in Wittenberg's annual celebration of the holiday season. Scheduled performers include the Wittenberg Choir, the Wittenberg Handbell Choir, the Wittenberg Singers and the Wittenberg Flute Choir.
Lessons and Carols for Advent and Christmas is a combination of two services — Advent Choral Vespers and Lessons and Carols for Epiphany. The event will begin with the Service of Light, in which the chapel will be enveloped in darkness and gradually illuminated by candles. The performances will include the Quempas Carrollers, a chorus of four selected female students, and it will end with a singing of the traditional Christmas favorite Silent Night.
All Wittenberg Series events are free of charge and open to the public.
Every year, the Wittenberg Series brings distinguished lecturers and performing artists of national and international prominence to the campus and local community. For more information about the Wittenberg Series, visit the university's Web site at www.wittenberg.edu. To make special arrangements, reserve a series poster or become a friend of the Wittenberg Series, contact Phyllis Eberts at (937) 327-6116, or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Scientists have discovered that DNA contains not just one but two languages, superimposed over each other. They knew about the one that determines how proteins are made, but the other embedded language "instructs the cell on how genes are controlled."
We sure are lucky that random processes led to the evolution of these two languages! But don't you need reproduction in order to have evolution? And don't you need both of these functions of the DNA to be already in place before there can be any reproduction? I'm curious how Darwinists explain this.
The news story about this, quoted after the jump, uses terms like "language," "writing," "reading," "meaning," "information system," and "instructs." So underlying all of life is language; that is, what the Greeks called a logos, the cosmic organizing Word. As in John 1:1-3.

Since it has been over four years that Phish has toured, it is easy to forget how exciting and inspiring it can be to watch them play. Though there has been a recent slew of delightful audio performances released, the emergence of the Walnut Creek DVD (recorded at the famed venue in North Carolina during their 1997 summer tour) finally gives fans another chance to have Phish illuminate their eyes as well.
As leaders in the evolving art of sustainable large-scale event production, ROTHBURY is 100% committed to taking every possible step to reduce the environmental impact of the festival. While such a commitment does not come without its challenges, ROTHBURY, together with local and national partners who share the same pledge, will indeed demonstrate the vast possibilities in sustainability and hopefully highlight those areas that need ser

With Earth Day, April 22, just around the corner, it's time to celebrate Going Green. Music has long offered a platform for revolution and on July 4th weekend 2008, ROTHBURY emerges as a new American celebration. For this next generation of the rock and roll music festival, ROTHBURY sets forth as a huge party with a purpose.
Years ago when trading cassette tapes of live Phish shows was all the rage, I remember coming across this historic performance and just being in awe of the amazing energy and enigmatic jams heard throughout this show.
The fourth annual 10,000 Lakes Festival (10KLF) kicked off on a mild Wednesday evening at the Soo Pass Ranch of Detroit Lakes, MN. The four-day bonanza of music and entertainment has matured into a full-fledged mainstay on the summer tour circuit for headliners and up-and-coming regional acts alike.

Edelbrock Performer Rpm Heads
well i guess that i made my mind up on what heads. I already have the RPM Cam so why not go with the RPM heads and Air Gap intake. So what do you all think about the Performer RPM Heads
It has ALWAYS been a great performer and a decent value.
I have used a bunch of rpm heads on different engines and they work well..
I would recomend that you take them to a machine shop and have them double checked... Or at the very least take them apart and clean them good and look for any problems you can see with them....

Painting Brick?
I'm wondering about whether to paint my brick (external) or not. Before you get upset about me painting brick (Yes, I've read a lot about it!) let me explain. We have very cheap brick from the 50's, I've been told that it is actually called "brick block" not real brick. It has faded in the sun considerably as well and has gone from a nice deep red to an ugly pink color. So, I've thought about painting, but what color? Do I try to make it look like brick still? Do I go with a red? Do I go for white? Any suggestions would be very appreciated! Thanks!
The color of your house is a big factor. I would probably choose white, but it may need two coats. The first coat should be with a masonry paint.
I'm looking at a paint called Loxon by Sherwin Williams. Supposedly it's a one coat solution. Any experiences? Also, my main concern is that I don't want it to look cheap, would white be the best color? A friend suggested that I go with a brick red, but I don't think that would look good, right? Thanks!
I have never tried it but what about concrete stain instead of paint? I would try a small area before you go down that path and see how it looks. I also would look for other solutions because painted stone, concrete, brick outdoors seems to be less than a 50/50 shot at holding up and after you paint it it is difficult to do anything else.

I am a 34 year old, mother of four children. I have disliked my breast size since I was 14 years old. I wore baggy clothing to hide my size D breasts, which looked even larger on my 5"3, 95 lb. frame.
As time went on, I got married and had four kids in seven years. I gained some weight and went up to bigger than a double D. I had been having neck pain and bad headaches nearly daily for a couple of years, but no doctor ever made the connection of my large breasts to my daily headaches. Finally I began seeing a new doctor who quickly made the connection. I put in the back of my mind for about a year and than asked my doctor about getting a referral to a surgeon.
Things happened very quickly after that...my consultation, insurance approval, and surgery. Surgery was done two days before Thanksgiving. By Thanksgiving Day I felt good enough to have dinner at a family members house. Only needed pain pills for a week. No more headaches or neck pain. Still recovering but feel very good. Down to a size C and perky!! Happy with results.
Sleeping on my back was difficult, but I am healed enough to sleep on my side now. The most painful part of everything has been getting the stitches removed. I would recommend saving a pain pill or two for that.
