Some of you may remember that I sent letters to my US Rep. and both Senators concerning the "National Right to Carry" bill that is sitting in committee.
Here is Senator Lieberman's response:
How lame is it that he can't even respond properly to my letter. I contacted him concerning S. 388, and he replies back concerning HR 297. Pathetic, just pathetic. :hand1:Quote:
December 13, 2007
Dear Mr. Xxxxxx:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns about the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Improvement Act (H.R. 297), which was introduced by Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY). I appreciate your views on this serious matter, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.
I have long believed that Americans have the right to own guns. With that right, however, come significant responsibilities, including those to ensure that guns are used safely and responsibly, that criminals cannot obtain weapons, and that our children are kept safe from harm. I therefore supported the Brady law, which mandates background checks to ensure that those seeking to buy guns are lawfully allowed to do so; and I have cosponsored legislation that would close the gun show loophole, which allows convicted felons, among others, to evade the Brady background checks. You will also be interested to know that I voted to reauthorize the Assault Weapons Ban, and I supported Senator Edward Kennedy's (D-MA) efforts to broaden the definition of armor piercing ammunition.
As you may know, H.R. 297 would provide grants to states to update the NICS system. States would be able to update their NICS database to include felons, domestic abusers, and other violent criminals.
H.R. 297 is currently pending consideration by the House Judiciary Committee. Please be assured that I will continue to keep in mind the views which you shared should this bill come before the Senate for consideration. To keep track of future actions on this legislation, you can go to the "Bill Tracking" service at http://lieberman.senate.gov/issues/resources.
My official Senate web site is designed to be an on-line office that provides access to constituent services, Connecticut-specific information, and an abundance of information about what I am working on in the Senate on behalf of Connecticut and the nation. I am also pleased to let you know that I have launched an email news update service through my web site. You can sign up for that service by visiting http://lieberman.senate.gov and clicking on the "Subscribe Email News Updates" button at the bottom of the home page. I hope these are informative and useful.
Thank you again for letting me know your views and concerns. Please contact me if you have any additional questions or comments about our work in Congress.
Joseph I. Lieberman
Thank God this clown isn't running for President.

Jeffrey Lurie addressed the media in the wake of the team's 26-24 playoff loss to the Saints. Though disappointed by the outcome Saturday night, the Eagles owner is clearly very encouraged about the state of the program after one year under Chip Kelly.
"My expectations were more about making sure we had a terriffic coaching staff that could transform a roster and a group of young players into something special," he said. "It was not about wins and losses. I was incredibly impressed by how quickly Chip and his staff were able to get this group together and perform extremely well. There is just so many good, young players around this locker room that will be incredibly dedicated when they come back next spring. We know that. Read more »

Despite the New Orleans Saints' bounty saga (and the subsequent one-year suspension of head coach Sean Payton), there are still plenty of fantasy prospects down in Cajun Country. Personally, I wish the Saints would just take their lumps if they deserve them, and get on with concentrating on NFL 2012. That way, maybe everyone else would move past the entire Bountygate scandal. The issue is a Pandora's box that needs to be nailed shut, sooner rather than later. Enough on that, let's get to the Bayou Fantasy facts!
New Orleans Saints Quarterback Fantasy Options
Everything I am about to discuss is hinged on one point. QB Drew Brees needs to get his long-term contract deal done prior to the July 16, 2012 deadline. Simply put, Saints owner Tom Benson and the top brass in New Orleans, have to make sure their franchise pivot is paid and happy. Chase Daniels, Luke McCown and Sean Canfield are not the answers to any questions under the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in Louisiana.
On Tuesday, June 27, 2012, Brees was on the Mike & Mike Show on ESPN Radio. While he was vague about his contract situation and the holdups surrounding it, Brees sounded confident that a deal would get done (later rather than sooner) in time for the Saints' 2012 NFL regular season opener at home against the Redskins. His comments on the Saints "Bountygate" saga were very harsh toward the once New Orleans loving NFL Head Office in NYC.
Coming off the best Fantasy season of his career, Brees is poised for another big year. That's because most of his offensive weapons are back in place for NFL 2012. Along with breaking Dan Marino's single season passing yards record with 5,476 PYD, Cool Brees also scored a career high 47 total touchdowns to go along with just 15 turnovers. Those net 32 passing and rushing scores are more than 13 NFL clubs scored as a combined unit last season.
Saints QB Analysis: While many wonder how the suspension of offensive guru and Saints head coach Sean Payton will affect the Saints, I don't see it as that much of an issue. First and foremost, Payton will have his paws all over the team – somehow, someway. Second, the Saints will run the same high-octane offense that they have for years now; the players are familiar with it and Brees is a field general who lives up to the highest standard of the term.
New Orleans Saints Running Back Fantasy Options
Somewhat lost in the celebration of Hurricane Drew's record-breaking season was the success the Saints backfield enjoyed last season. RB Darren Sproles looked right at home during his first season down in the Bayou. The former San Diego lightning bug lit it up for 1,313 total yards and nine touchdowns. His 111 targets and 86 receptions in the Saints passing game was tops for running backs and only five NFL players had more receptions than Sproles.
Injuries, along with being surrounded by superstars, stunted the growth of RB Mark Ingram during his rookie campaign. The former Alabama Crimson Tide standout saw limited action in ten games that produced 520 total yards and five touchdowns on 133 touches. As one of the most frustrating backs during NFL 2011, RB Pierre Thomas bobbed and weaved his way to 987 total yards and six touchdowns. Good for the Saints, not good for fantasy football owners.
Saints RB Analysis: Furthering the frustration of having Thomas on your roster was the fact that he alternated single and double-digit fantasy scoring from Week 4 through Week 13. Sproles will be on my draft list as a midrange RB1 in PPR leagues. In standard scoring leagues he drops to down to a high end RB2. Ingram will battle Thomas for the goal-line back role during training camp. While both players can produce decent numbers in the explosive three-headed RBBC system in New Orleans, I won't be drafting either of them.
New Orleans Saints Wide Receiver Fantasy Options
New Orleans' "big three" wide receivers are all signed and back for the 2012 season. WR Marques Colston is now locked in through 2016, while WR Lance Moore restructured his deal and is signed through the 2015 season. WR Devery Henderson enters his ninth season in the NFL (all of them with the Saints) and is in the final year of his current four-year contract. Up against the salary cap, the Saints elected to let WR Robert Meachem bolt to the San Diego Chargers.
Colston and Moore both played 14 games last season, while Henderson played in all 16 regular season games. Adrian Arrington, who was reportedly courted by several clubs in the off-season, is the leader to take over the WR4 role in New Orleans. The former Michigan Wolverine has appeared in four games through his first two seasons and will play for $540K in the final year of his rookie contract. Nick Toon and Joseph Morgan are also in the wide receiver mix.
Saints WR Analysis: Brees is a lock to throw the ball over 600 times, with a completion range at about 450, again this season. Sproles will get his 80 plus targets, while TE Jimmy Graham can expect 130 plus looks. That leaves the rest of the Saints to split up somewhere around 240 passes. Colston will get his 100 targets, with Moore and Henderson both coming in at around 70 looks. Watch the development of Arrington, Toon and Morgan.
New Orleans Saints Tight End Fantasy Options
After showing signs of brilliance during his 2010 NFL rookie season, TE Jimmy Graham busted out as a superstar with 99 receptions for 1,310 yards and 11 touchdowns in his sophomore season. There's no reason to expect that this fantasy stud can't continue on that pace. Two concussions and the emergence of Graham hampered the 2011 NFL season for tight end David Thomas. He should resume his role backup role this season.
Saints TE Analysis: At 6'6" and 260 pounds, Graham ranks just a notch below Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski on my most wanted tight end list. I expect the Saints' human wrecking ball to post even better numbers, especially when if comes to touchdowns, during the 2012 NFL campaign. You'll have to draft Graham early on, but the reward will be a ton of points.
New Orleans Saints Fantasy Bottom Line: Looking at New Orleans' 2012 NFL schedule, and considering the hits they took on defense, we can't find a contest that won't be a shootout for the Saints. Plus, the entire club will be out to show the world that while Bountygate may have beat them down, you can't count them out. Despite all the turmoil in Cajun Country, as long as Brees gets signed, fantasy owners can invest in the Saints superstars with confidence!

After winning skater of the year and being one of the biggest names in Nike's team, the Ishod Wair trainer has been anticipated for some time. His own version of the Dunk Low, these shoes come in a royal blue with leather and suede upper.
The most distinctive element that Ishod Wair's personal specs have created in these dunk lows is a seriously reduced level of padding in the tongue and around the collar. This creates a lighter shoe that's more flexible.
This colourway comes in deep royal with white details such a leather swoosh design on the sides, white midsole and white woven label on the tongue. A red stripe across the outersole ties it all together.

If you have one, just e-male it to email@example.com and I will answer within 24 hours! Anonymous or not as you wish- my English is limited, but Zamboni is at your cervix!
Moonlight or La La land, which really won?
I have received this question four hundred and three times in the last ten minutes from my panicked followers so I will try and elucidate what happened for you as best as only Great Zamboni can: (Meanwhile, Casey Afleck, please check your envelope carefully because I am sure Gosling must get your statue?!)
It wasn't Warren Beatty losing his kishkas. It wasn't a backstage mixup in which Emma Stone shmoozed Warren so hard they swapped envelopes. No. It was the trickster will of the Gods.
Look at Trump's victory. Look at the craziest Superbowl comeback turnaround ever. This is the year of the Insane Revolution. I don't mean just necessarily"revolution" as in Che Guevara or Les Miz or Hamilton and Valley Forge, I mean revolution in its literal record-revolving-33 revolutions per minute meaning- a turn completely around. That revolution.
Everywhere we look things are spinning higgledy-piggledy on their heads. The Statue of Liberty replaces her torch with a "closed" sign, presidents tweet while they poop and grab by the pussy, the poor vote for the rich and California's draught turns to floods. So if this universal spirit of change has caused the great kerfuffle at the Oscars, the real question is; what does it mean?
Great Zamboni thinks that the take away from the times is this: you know somethings happening but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones…
Yes like the Dylan song, something is happening. It's a call to awake! fron God himself. He talks to me regularly and has confirmed this. And by the way, he loved La La Land and Moonlight so much, even he couldn't decide. The first is classic Hollywood man-woman romance, updated beautiful for today with many white people. The second, a beautiful film about fear and taboos, man-man sort of romance, guardian angels, and ultimately surviving long enough to be yourself, and with all Black people.
God- or whatever the voice is that I start hearing after I drink three Kombuchas and have my Blue Algae enema, perhaps wants us to know that it doesn't have to be either/or with Love- it can be both and all. Maybe they can both be best.
Losing because of a coin toss is unamerican (?)
As you know, American Football is so big in Estonia that we were all around my huge 8 inch black and white watching this game yesterday. I was grilling sardines on the radiator of my Datsun b210, we were swilling Prune Vodka in the Ice Sailing clubhouse, and every time the commentators said "the" , "and" or just any words, and we were taking shots- having the best time, what we in hardened Estonia call, "slightly better than cold death."
But then, these teams go to overtime, and just because Patriots win coin toss, they get ball first. They score a touching down, then I expect the Falconers of Atlanta to get a chance- BUT NO- you America say game over!
? Game over? Other team not even get a chance? I don't understand your great country. Is it all just rigged? Or just the result of chance?
How can it be fair?
Is it not even an even playing field on your playing field? By the smooth skin of Vladimir Putin's chin, I just don't get it.
So funny with America, your superbowl a last minute switcharoo too- just like election! I guess it is like my Grandma Shlockma said, "a consistent large pimple you have for a year, better than a surprise ulcer you get once"
Trump's Empire is Massive!
Ladies and gentlemen of the Press who I respect so much even though all you fish gut suckers care about is my tax return.
You know what they say in Estonian Snooker clubs, if the Empire is massive, then it follows like night follows day, so is the penis!
But Trump, who is a good friend of mine, me, the one called Great Zamboni, yes GREAT Zamboni because my GREATNESS is really, really great, I mean really fantastic- Trump did travel to Estonia a few months ago to meet with me privately.
Now, as to your questions about whether or not Donald and I met privately with three comely and fetching toothless fishwives for some innocent massage and iced vodka shooters- well, we may have or we may not have. But I can tell you, that if we had -and seriously of all the people in this room do you really think WE wouldn't do that?- if we had our sexual prowess would have been really really fantastic.
No have we cleared all that up?
I surviving 2017
How do I do it? I keep in mind the old Estonian saying, "your face should be like Ice". You see, we Estonians are used to being taken over by many bamboozling buffoons- first it was the Danes in like year 1200, then the Teutonic Knight Order, the Germans, then the Soviets, then the Nazis, then the Soviets again- so being ruled over by bufoonery is old hat to us.
How do we deal with less than savory rulers? We expect only shit from life all day every day. We tough through life and smile for no one expecting nothing but drudgery cold and darkness.
in this way, any brightness seems to us a great and wonderful surprise. Like when your dog lives to be older than 8 or your goat does not freeze into block of ice.
So get your Estonians balls America, its going to be a bumpy knight.
Why did Trump win?
- This question came to Zamboni from Hillary herself, via snapchat, 20 minutes ago.
- This is above most people's pay grade, but- after the Cubs won the world series, the bi-cameral and hemispheric balances were thrown off kilter allowing heretofore unheardof phenomenon to occur like Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg doing a cooking show together and us having a President Trump.
- Liberals are in love with thinking that people use reason in voting and hence would be swayed by three endless debates (they weren't) or Trumps racist bullying rants (they weren't). We all missed a lot of football for nothing. People decide with their gut.Undecided is statistical anomaly? Ever known one? See.
- We all thought it'd be a coronation with the royal name of Clinton. Americans don't do royalty.
- People like to elect outsiders as potus. Look at all the governors from out of DC vicinity: Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Bush II. Not senators or DC insiders. (I know but Obama was a recent arrival and being Black, had his outsider card. ) Hillary if you really want it, move back to Arkansas and run!)
- Whitelash.
- Guns. People like them. Look Hillary, how the hell am I to hunt squirrels without my two AR15s? (I like to have one in each hand and just spray up in the trees, less time consuming and fun to see them drop!!)
- BTW its the best possible thing that could happen to the democratic party. Take it from an Estonian that lived under dictator USSR puppet for years. Nothing like cruel and unfair oppressor to really make people come together.
How Zamboni knew the Cubs would win even when they were down 3-1
You'll notice my last post was Oct 30th, when it seemed it would be lights out for the Cubs, When Cleveland had their Wahoo fingers around the necks of the cute and cuddly Cubbies, when it seemed all over. After all, coming back from being three games down to one?- it had only happened five times in 132 years of this batting game you Americans love. Yet I predicted a Cubs win. It was easy.
Zamboni knows the ultimate truth that all mortals know deep in their chotzkes: Everything ends. Sometime. Every leaf, at some point, falls. Red Sox fans know this. Game of Thrones fans know. Mad Men watchers even faced the end. Sopranos too. Even my favorite author, Pulitzer winning Danielle Steele, may one day expire and stop spinning her beloved yarns…Fabio's hair even, one day will cease.
Also, you remember the man who brought the billy goat into Wrigley field, was ousted and cursed them? IT WAS MY UNCLE!
Yes, this is factual and I can vilify it as well. My uncle Tormallen had come from Estonia, changed his name, and opened a pub. Of course he had his goat with him when he came over to this country and named his pub the Billy Goat Tavern as the bond between an Estonian and his goat is as strong as iron yet as tender and soft as a newborn baby's willy.
And so he brought his goat to game four of the 1945 world series. Evidently the smell of his goat -which we Estonians barely notice- bothered some. Yet I believe it was intolerance to immigrants!! He was booted, and summarily spoke on his way out the turnstile, as his poor goats' horns were entangled- "these Cubbies aint gonna win no more!"
Until last night. Because you see, even the curse of someone in the bloodline of Zamboni can only last a maximum of 71 years. (Unless of course you have the fingernail of a toothless fishmonger's wife, the eye of a marmot, the toe of a tax collector, and an evil eye stone, put all said sundries in a bag, bury it beneath the victims home and say out loud 11 vigorous times the ancient bon mots "I FUCKING CURSE YOU GOOD MOTHERFUCKER!", but old Tormallen did none of that. We all know an off the cuff curse has an expiration date.
And yet it is more than that. It is also due to the power of love, brotherhood and extreme emotional vulnerability. This is like a mighty wall that there is very little can trounce or triumph over.
Late in the game, Anthony Rizzo put his arms on the shoulders of veteran David Ross, and poured forth, "I can't control myself..I'm trying my best…I'm an emotional wreck…I'm in a glass case of emotion right now…" And was at this moment when the "grit" was found to finally beat the Indians, and end the 71 year old curse, and the 108 year old drought, and win the World Series.
So there is your doggy bag for today's lesson. Always pour out your fears and anxieties to your friends, it is not weakness, but strength. Your little fears?- clowns, finding a bit of sand in your sandwich at the beach, the Kars for Kids commercial, who cares. But when you are in a glass case of emotion? Always.
'I'm an emotional wreck': Watch Anthony Rizzo's touching dugout exchange with David Ross
Will the Cubs win the World Series?
This question comes to me from my old Uncle Kringle, though he's as Estonian as blood sausage and wife-carrying, he lives in Winnemucca, Nevada. He's been there since age three when he was adopted by a family that drills for mines and for water for farmers in this remote desert land. Growing up in the outback of America, little Kringle and his friends had no baseball team to root for. But they did have the very strong signal of WBEZ Chicago, and so he and his desert friends grew up rooting for a team in a windy land far away that none of them had visited.
Anyway Kringle, I know it doesn't look good right now, but Zamboni is here to tell you that yes, I do believe the cubs will still win.
Yet Uncle, you also know my credo, "only ask what is vital importance for you".
Win or lose, how will this change your life?
If they win, will it mean for you that patience and time can overcome any curse, any obstacle? That no one is always fated to be at the bottom forever?
If they lose, will it just mean that though long suffering and waiting sucks- we can always yet do more?
Both are true. But above all importance: the faith that any of it matters.
Sports- they matter so much because they don't.
Like William Carlos Williams and his red wheelbarrow, slick with rain.
new instagram!
This is wonderful, you can see videos of me the real Great Zamboni, at the instagram page called, cleverly,
I hope you enjoy these and leave please your erections and thoughts…!
"Why are Italians having fewer babies?"
This question comes to Zamboni via Pope Francis, who is very concerned about this, rightfully so as he is a Pope and a friend to Zamboni when I couch surf across Europe on occasion.
Oh my Pope….. This has been puzzling people for a while and is true: Italians are not having many babies. It has been chalked up to this or that , either the fact that couples live with their parents in cramped houses. Also to the economy, jobs are scarce so both man and woman must work thereby delaying child bearing etc. Blah blah…All of these are errogenous. The real reason is quite simple and evident when you just step back and think of it.
It's very tiring to be Italian. Like, really, really exhausting. Look at these guys! Do you know how hard it is to maintain the caloric surge of being so sprezzatura and effortlessly chic all fucking day? The pants are very tight, the shoes are chafing my bare feet. These men are worrying a lot about leaving their sunglasses at home and being laughed at. Ever wear white jeans? Of course you have not, neither have I- because THEY GET CRAZY DIRTY SO FAST! They literally just vacuum up stains from everywhere. With clothes so tight (not helping sperm count Pope!) much time must be spent at the gym just to fit them- is this making you anxious just reading? me too. Look at this beard guy far left- so tightly wound- imagine him throwing a toddler in the air- I can't either!
Look, I feel for them. Italian is like the last most cool nationality. Even I had to get my name from them. Sadly my Estonian birth name is Shuffleshitz. See! How cooler it is to say, "hey, Zamboni!"….Would George Clooney call me up on speakerphone so much if I was a Shuffleshitz?
With everything being universalized and globalized, there is so much sameness happening. "Italian" is just like a cinnamon for "cool" right? Lamborghinis, Giorgio Armani, Al Pacino, Parmaggiano, The Godfather, espresso for Pete's sake, they are just so cool, like Dennis Hooper said in that movei to Dean Stockwell, " you're so FUCKIN' sauve…." And for a small country with not a whole lot else going on, corrupt government, the EU falling apart- they have to cling like hell to whatever identity they have. Even if it means when the men get home and peel off those suits they are exhausted from the smiling, laughing and their eyes hurt from too much shading. They must sleep a lot to get up and do this all over again. This= less babies.
The solution Pope?
Make babies cool! get Gucci to make a diaper with that cool green and red stripey pattern. Make Versace shades for the babies! Treat baby as accessory to coolness! It has been very hard for anyone to be cool with a baby for a long time as moms and dads have to wear strange Baby Bjorn strappy things everywhere, juggling rubber nipples and humongous strollers. In my day, I could merely carry my little Zamboni jr. like a football in crook of my arm as I walked a runway in Milan or panned for gold in Chile.
So make babies cool, and those guys in the picture can wrap one in calfskin and carry it right in that little satchel thingee! Good luck Pope!

Selena Gomez: All Grown Up at the 2012 UNICEF Snowflake Ball
Doing her best to raise money for a worthwhile cause, Selena Gomez attended the 2012 UNICEF Snowflake Ball on Tuesday (November 27).
The 20-year-old starlet worked the Cipriani media line in a sleeveless and backless long black gown with sparkling trim before heading in to help bring further awareness to a group that means so much to her.
In a previous interview, Selena talked about being a part of UNICEF, saying, "I feel I'm able to use my voice and my platform and my audience to educate them on issues that are going on around the world."
Aside from being a voice for young people all around the world, Miss Gomez has made a name for herself within the organization as she is the youngest person to ever be named a UNICEF ambassador.
According to the event's website, "UNICEF hosts the Snowflake Ball, one of New York City's most notable black-tie galas, to celebrate the lighting of the UNICEF Snowflakes and to honor those whose philanthropic commitments support its mission to save children's lives."
Since the start of the program back in 2005, the annual gathering has raised over $16 million for various UNICEF programs.

Jerry's View: Did WWI hero have air-conditioned belly?
When Big Mike Wasik joined the armed forces in 1917, the great war was nearly over. That did not stop Uncle Sam from sending Mike to Germany where the Kaiser was already retreating. Mike may have helped encourage that retreat but at painful personal expense. He was wounded twice. We know he survived those wounds because he was my neighbor when I was a youth in Portland.
I was enamored with the Wasik's copper wash tub. All families got clean in those days using a large tub of some sort with the parents taking the first dip in the coziest, cleanest water. Oldest kids were next following down the line to the youngest.. the water never being changed in the process. Hence the phrase "don't throw the baby out with the bath water". My mom and dad probably thought that the soap pretty much guaranteed that we'd be clean enough for school at the very least.
We had the standard pauper's galvanized tub about the size of a normal washing machine. Bigger kids than me, plus mom and dad, had to scrunch their legs and toes with their knees touching their chins just to fit inside. I was little enough to almost dog paddle but my little sister Norma was always bugging me to get out before the water turned cold. After eight kids, it was assuredly cool.
Big Mike lived around the corner from us. For the longest time we called him Spike. I guess we just didn't listen well. He wasn't rich but his family did have a rather larger copper tub. Almost like it was from a beer brewing operation. Two people could easily fit in with some room to spare. I never saw two people in it when I visited but I did see Big Mike hunkered down in there one winter afternoon. Big Mike was big and probably needed a tub that size. I know what you're thinking. Why was I visiting at bath time? The truth is I was just collecting money for delivering the paper. I was invited in while Mrs. Wasik went to get some coins. They had a small house. The tub was in the mud room where I was standing. He was hard to miss.
Mike was a neighborhood hero. Most of my friends knew he was a WWI soldier with a curious wound. He had been shot in the stomach, above his navel. I don't know what he was shot with but the bullet or shrapnel made it look like it went clean through him.
It was the great depression...of our neighborhood. Mike had a hole in his belly that could double as a candy dish except that he had a similar hole in his back. I was just a lad and always wondered if the hole went clean through? (It didn't). The military doctors must have done a pretty good job of patching him up. He never talked about it but the neighbor kids would push in on their own bellies until they ran out of breath wondering how Big Mike didn't.

PHOTOS | DOOLEY TRANSCRIPT | FOUR DOWNS: By the Numbers | DEPTH CHART
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee's 35-21 victory over NC State in the Georgia Dome was clearly a step in the right direction, but head coach Derek Dooley has his eyes set on his team's long-term goals and is looking to make sure that momentum continues to move forward when the Vols host Georgia State this Saturday at 4 p.m. in Neyland Stadium.
For Dooley, UT's biggest improvement from last year to this season didn't have anything to do with talent or execution, but rather a significant change in the team's collective attitude.
"I saw a difference in the whole team on game day," Dooley said. "There was a whole different level of maturity on the sidelines. When we came off and when we didn't have success, either we went three-and-out on offense or they went down and had a good drive and gutted us on defense, we came over and corrected [the mistakes].
"There was no finger-pointing, no blame, no complaining and we went out there and played again. That was a good sign more than anything and I think that is why we were able to play through all the things that happened."
Although obviously pleased with the outcome against NC State, Dooley was quick to caution that one game does not make an entire season and that the Vols have plenty of work left to do.
"It's an early indicator, but it is really early," Dooley said. "Each week you find out more and more about your team. I feel like I have a little better handle of our guys this year than I ever have, on what they can do, how they are going to perform and then trying to put them in a position to help us. I definitely feel like I have a better handle, but we really don't know much about this team.
"All these first games, a lot of things can happen. Sometimes you look great early and you fall flat on your face, and then sometimes you look horrendous early and you end up winning 10 games. That's just how it is. It's good that we had a win like that. Hopefully it will inspire a little confidence to keep working at it and understand the fruits of our labor and why we had that success. There was a lot of investment by this team in that game and this season. We just have to now stay the course."
This week, as the Big Orange begin preparing for the Panthers, it will focus on two main areas as a team.
"One is how much improvement we can make from week one to week two, because this is always a big week of improvement for any football team, cleaning up a ton of mistakes from the game and seeing if we can make a big jump," Dooley said. "The second thing is trying to define a standard of how we compete every week, regardless of the opponent and regardless of the environment or the venue.
"We need to learn to come out there and perform with the same intangibles, the same level of execution, the same intensity every week and that is what good teams do. We have a lot to prove over time and this will be step two in proving that we are a good football team."
FULTON NAMED SEC OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEKTennessee rolled up over 500 yards of total offense against NC State on Friday and a lot of the team's success came from the push it got from the big guys up front.
For his efforts in leading the offensive line, UT right guard Zach Fulton was named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week on Monday, the first Vol to claim that honor since 2009.
"We nominated him because he graded out the highest for us and he got a lot of yards," Dooley said. "It's deserving, he's played well and he had success."
Against the Wolfpack, the Vols finished with 191 yards on the ground, their highest total since running for 199 against Buffalo last season and the third-highest total in Dooley's tenure at Rocky Top.
Even that wasn't quite good enough for Fulton though.
"I thought we did pretty well, but we still have a few things we need to clean up on the running game. We weren't really getting great movement on double teams and face blocks, so we need to get our technique down."
The beneficiary of Fulton's hard work on the line was sophomore tailback Marlin Lane who recorded 75 yards on just nine carries to finish as UT's leading rusher in the season opener.
"I think he went out there and handled his business Friday," Lane said. "He worked for it every day at practice and he is a quiet guy but he's good to hang around."
When a newcomer has a smashing debut, typically they go one of two ways in terms of their demeanor: they bask in the glory and rest on their new-found laurels or they continue to focus on the long-term goals and work every day to get better.
Vols receiver Cordarrelle Patterson is taking the second road. After gaining 165 yards of total offense in his debut with two attention-grabbing touchdowns, Patterson still knows he has a lot to improve upon after his first game in orange and white.
"It's not tough at all [to live up to expectations]," said Patterson. "I don't' pay any attention to that. I just go in day in and day out at practice and work hard every day and try to get better and just compete with these guys out here."
With media and fans gushing about his first game at the FBS level with an SEC program, Patterson said he did glimpse at the coverage, but again is eyeing next week's game with Georgia State.
"I read a little bit [about the game] but I try not to give it too much attention because I don't want to get too happy about it, I'm just getting ready for this week," he said.
Dooley agrees that Patterson has to keep his attitude and work ethic where it has been since arriving at Tennessee from the junior college ranks.
"I hope he keeps his level of humility that he's shown," said Dooley. "I told him that. I was really impressed. He's not walking around like the big shot. There's going to be, could be this week, where all of a sudden he doesn't get anything. It's recognizing that the game isn't easy. There's a lot of guys that had a big first game, but if he just stays the course on what he's doing, he has a chance to be really good, obviously."
Patterson knows he has a lot to improve upon when it comes to his education in football and is striving to make himself a better player every day.
"The routes are really what I need to work on, just knowing the signals and making sure I do everything right and learning the defensive coverages," he said. "I just go out and do what I can do and I know it'll pay off.
"I'm just going into the game hoping that I don't have any downfalls; just keep everything up and just trying to get better every day. I hope I can just prove myself. I know what I can and can't do, so [the NC State game] wasn't a big surprise for me, just like at practice every week, I work hard and it paid off."
We will see how his progress continues when we see No. 84 flying down the field vs. Georgia State on Saturday.
CALMING THE DEFENSEIn the first half of the season opener against NC State, the Tennessee offense put up some big numbers, but the secondary also allowed some big plays to wide open receivers across the middle.
The pressure on the quarterback was apparent, both Curt Maggitt and Mike Glennon can attest to that fact, but the communication was still off, something that can happen in the first game of the year.
At halftime, however, defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri spoke with his players and in the second half the defense calmed its nerves and played with a steady hand.
"I would say that we settled down a little bit," said Maggitt, "we communicated a lot more and we talked to each other. In the first off you could see that we weren't ready, didn't have the calls and weren't on the same page. But in the second half I feel like we were on the same page a lot more."
Prentiss Waggner agreed.
"We just settled down," Waggner said. "Coach explained the corrections at halftime, every mental lapse that we had we pretty much corrected and went on from there."
Despite the miscommunication and struggles in the first half, both Waggner and Maggitt still came away with highlight-reel plays.
With UT's first interception of the game, Waggner squelched a 43-yard NC State drive in the first quarter and set up Tennessee's second TD of the game, a 72-yard pass from Tyler Bray to Zach Rogers which was the first of three scores in a 38-second period.
Maggitt then single-handedly recorded the second score after bull-rushing Glennon back 18 yards, sacking him and forcing a fumble that the Wolfpack recovered in the endzone for the Vols' first safety since 2010.
In the second half, UT came out and succeeded as a team.
Both Maggitt and Waggner know how many hits the team had on Glennon (12), and they both also know why they were able to impact the NC State offense so well (Coach Sunseri).
NC State had nine drives in the first half resulting in three scores. In the second half the Wolfpack had six drives, the first ending with a punt, one ending on downs, and three resulting in Vol interceptions.
The shift in momentum was thanks in part to the Vols realizing the mistakes they were making and fixing them.
"I feel like a lot of our errors were self-inflicted wounds and if we can correct them, we can be a better defense," Maggitt said.
Waggner concurred.
"Every big play that they had, it wasn't what they did it was what we did. We pretty much left them wide open. Once we tightened that up we played aggressive football."
Both teammates know that working on communication this week will be a step in the right direction for the upcoming game against Georgia State.
"Communication I would say," said Maggitt, "making sure that everybody is on the same page, and making sure everybody knows their assignments. I feel like we could do a good job if we do that."
Waggner went as far as suggesting that they might need some sort of defensive pop quiz.
"We have so many signals," Waggner said. "We need to have a little mini quiz, a mini test within each other to get those signals correct. I think we will be good from there."
Either way, coming off of a big win there is a lot of excitement among the defensive players heading into the home opener with Georgia State on Saturday.
"A lot of guys on the team felt that they didn't play up to their expectations and I know as a defense we didn't play up to our expectations either," said Maggitt. "But there is a lot of excitement knowing we can get better and that is a lot of positive energy coming into this week."

Montreal, Poutine, & Pets: Adventures in Pet Sitting

The intrepid blogger Tom Hill shares with us his lesson's learnt on this, his 30th house sit. Features three loveable doggies, a Land Rover and a healthy dose of owner-sitter communication.
Graphic designer and Shropshire (UK) woman, Liz Cadd, has plenty of time to do all of the hectic things in life that one needs to keep going. However, when a North Devon home owner contacted her through MindMyHouse looking for a cat and house sitter for his coastal property, she jumped at the chance to get away for a time. Walking the coastal paths every day and returning to someone else's home and cat every evening proved to be a great inspiration for this 'plein air' artist. Liz says that she 'got just what I hoped for out of this experience: time slowed down, I painted, and I relaxed.' See for yourself!
Our favourite European house sitters extraordinaire, Tom Hill and Lin Worthington, have 70-odd house sitting assignments under their metaphorical belts now.

It's all about staying safe while on assignment. Read it while shaking the brick dust from your duvet in that posh French villa you always dreamed of staying in…
Intrepid house sitter, Clare, has a very useful penchant for making lists. This is great for us, her readers, as she itemises the nitty gritty of her daily struggles as a house sitter in the wilds of suburban Queensland, Australia. One little eye-opener comes at the very end of this article. Keep reading…
Tell us what you think you couldn't do without while on assignment. Your very handy and helpful personal lists would be welcomed here!
Mike and Lynne are serious full time house sitting vacationers. Flying between Aussie and Europe, they have seen it all on their busy itinerary of chateau minding and estate tending across the Continent. During one particular assignment in the midi-Pyrenees in France they had a very hairy time trying to keep Millie, a French hound, and Lottie, a Labrador puppy, from meeting dire fates. This is the story of 142 perished poultry, a joyous killing spree, a receipt and a trigger happy gendarme. Walkies!
Tom Hill and Linda Worthington say they feel like they are living the lifestyle of millionaires. Yet they earned only UK 10,000 pounds between them in the 2006-2007 tax year. Huh? It would seem that the secret to all of this contentment and their feeling of having 'riches' is their ability to borrow other people's homes all year long. On the European continent that is. Nice.
Tom Hill is a regular contributor to our Community Area. If you want a bit of this kind of action too, read this summary of Tom and Lin's 'how to do as we do' guide. Better still, wait for the publication!
Self-empowerment guru and proud blogger, Aaron Potts, has a small epiphany while on house sitting assignment. It seems that your perception of your own little Universe can shift a degree or two when you do something as simple as getting out of your car and walking around your own streets or minding a neighbour's house for a time.
I think our membership are already in tune with Aaron's message. When asked, a full 32% of our house sitter members state 'wanting a change of scene' as their main reason for house sitting. Yes!
But Aaron says it best:
'Your life is out there right now waiting for you to experience it. Get outside of your comfort zone, break out of your routine, try new things, peek around new corners, and see what life is like outside of your little box. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find out!'
A touching account of how two people found each other at the right moment to really ditch their old, crappy lives and embark on something new and beautiful together. House sitting that is, and plenty of it.
MindMyHouse's resident Blogger on Assignment, Clare, continues to bravely housesit a variety of Brisbane's more comfortable suburban properties. This third post from Clare is all to do with hard lessons learned about how good intentions need to be reigned in least things go wrong!
Clare of Brisbane finds herself in the enviable position of being able to turn down offers of house sitting assignments. So why would you say 'no' to a seven-week sit in a nice house in your chosen area? What would you do if the owner wanted you to pay for the water you use to keep their massive garden alive during a period of water restrictions in a blazing Queensland summer. Pass!
Buckbeak the princess parrot has full-time house sitter, Clare, at her beck and call. Despite being lovingly blown on and having her beak stroked, Buckbeak suffers an affliction common among the aged of any species. Nobody mention that insensitive Monty P*thon sketch!

He said a proposal for a security and planning unit, involving his office and the Queensland Police Service, would go to cabinet soon. The unit would offer strategic advice on terrorism and safety measures.
Ipswich police district's Inspector Dominic McHugh said the discovery probably was a hoax, "but in this day and age we can't just dismiss things like this," he said.
Opposition Leader Mike Horan said the government had been slow to set up a counter-terrorism unit.
"There's been . . . just this ad hoc approach where a handful of police are cobbled together," he said.

RPT-Stung by loss of secrecy at home, Swiss banks run into trouble in Asia
(Repeats Tuesday's story with no changes to text)
* Erosion of Swiss banking secrecy means loss of business
* BSI and others look to riskier Asia in hunt for wealth to manage
* FINMA has opened enforcement proceedings against six other banks
By Joshua Franklin, Saeed Azhar and Anshuman Daga
ZURICH/SINGAPORE, May 24 (Reuters) - Regulators' closure of the Swiss BSI bank's Asian outpost for failing in its duty to prevent money-laundering has highlighted the risks of hunting wealthy clients farther afield as Swiss banks' traditional line in hiding money from foreign tax men is choked off.
The Swiss banking watchdog FINMA has already opened enforcement proceedings against no fewer than six other unnamed Swiss banks in relation to either the Malaysian fund that tripped up BSI or a separate scandal involving Brazil's state-controlled oil producer, Petrobras.
"We've made clear over recent years and months that we see money-laundering risk as having risen in our country," FINMA Chief Executive Mark Branson told reporters.
"We're concerned that not all organisations have matched their control processes to this increased risk." Continuación...

Surgical Hybrid Suite
Hybrid intervention combines minimally invasive coronary artery surgery (MICS CABG) with catheter based coronary intervention (PTCA stenting). The goal of hybrid PCI is to offer the patient the best of both procedures and the best solution to their individual damage.
The ideal candidate for this procedure will have a blockage in the LAD (left anterior descending) vessel, as well as a blockage in a non-LAD vessel.
If you have a planned hybrid surgery, you will receive a general anesthetic and be asleep through out the procedure. Hybrid surgery carries more risk than PCI, although it is often a necessary precaution and an effective surgery.
What are the risks?
Percutaneous coronary interventions are usually considered very safe procedures because they are minimally invasive and require only a general anesthetic and a mild sedative for comfort. There are, however, a few risks to be considered before surgery. These include:
- Bleeding at the catheter insertion site
- Damage to blood vessels or perforations
- Damage to the hearts electrical signals from over-ablation
- Pain at catheter insertion site
- Post-operative blood clotting
- Allergy to contrast dye used
- Infection
What are the benefits?
PCI procedures are considered very safe and effective. After surgery, your heart will function stronger and may have better circulation. Your risks of developing more adverse heart conditions will decrease.

Garage Door Programing
Dont mean to come across as a Smart A....
; but, in order to do the programing, you have to start the car. In addition, the late model garage openers, have a different way of programing; in which one person has to push a button in the garage unit (on a ladder), an another has to do the button pushing in the car. In mine, after pushing the button once in the garage unit, you have 30 seconds to push the button in your car==>Programing Done. With the older garage openers, all you have to do is: hold the romote control a few inches from the rear view mirror where the car buttons are, and then press both the remote and the button that you select simultaneously, until the car button light starts flickering. Hope this Helps

How To: Wheel / Rim Painting (Very Detailed)
Warning: Neither Focus Fanatics nor its Members may be held responsible for the outcome of performing such a modification to ones car(Ford Focus). Such acts are performed at ones own risk, and sole responsibility must be assumed. This may include, but not limited to, the voiding of Ford vehicles factory warranty.
Always put safety first; using jackstands, eye protection, and all other required safety measures. It is also recommended to have supervision whenever possible.
Materials needed:
1. 600 grit wet or dry sandpaper
2. 1000 grit wet or dry sandpaper
3. Dish soap
4. Prep cleaning product
5. New or very clean rags
6. 2-3 cans of self etching primer
7. 4-5 cans of wheel paint
8. 1-2 cans of clear coat (if desired)
So you decided you want to paint your wheels, but you arent sure how to go about it? Or have you done the job before but werent happy with the results? This how-to is your one stop guide to painting wheels ..though in this case, it is specific to a particular look and product, but the same principals will apply to any wheel painting project you want to do.
This how-to specifically shows how to apply Duplicolors hwp104 satin black wheel paint.
Not interested in a satin finish? Just ask here or PM me and I will gladly help you with any look you want to achieve.
The wheels and center caps being painted are the stock 5 spoke wheels from a 2003 Ford SVT Focus:
The first step, not pictured here, was having a tire shop remove the tires, weights and valve stems from the wheels. The next step was to pop out the center caps from the inside part of the wheels. It should be mentioned here that while this project was underway, the 2003 Ford SVT Focus was temporarily sporting 16 factory 5 spoke 2005 Focus SES wheels and tires:
The first step was to wash the wheels in a strong solution of dish soap and water. Once that was done, the next step was to thin the same water used to wash the wheels with more water and use it for wet sanding.
The next step was to scuff the existing surface with 600 grit wet or dry sand paper. It is recommended to wet sand for scuffing with paper, as the soapy water lubricates the surface and prevents the paper from getting gummed up with the paint you are sanding:
At times, it is helpful to wipe an area you have been sanding with a damp cloth (wet it in the same soapy water you are using) to check your progress:
The idea here is not to sand until you hit bare metal. Your goal is to scuff the old factory paint until it is no longer reflective and shiny, and has a dull flat appearance. This picture shows the contrast between a sanded wheel and unsanded; the sanded on the left, unsanded on the right.
This is what the wheels will look like when you are done:
If you want to paint your factory center caps as well, you will have to wet sand them with the 600 grit as well:
Once you have finished sanding (inside and out) you will need to mix up another batch of dish soap and water, very strong. Use this to clean anything you have sanded. In fact, wash them twice. After, let them dry someplace for a few hours until they are completely dry:
This is what a cleaned wheel looks like in direct sunlight after being sanded:
Here is what you will need for prep, priming and painting; a quality cleaner such as Prep-all or tec900 cleaner, primer that will bite into the existing factory paint, such as Duplicolors Self-etching primer, and of course your wheel paint, in this case, Duplicolor HWP-104 Satin Black:
It is recommended you begin the painting process on the back side of the wheel. The first step is to clean the inside of the wheel with your prep cleaner, in this case Prep-all cleaner. To begin, play it safe and clean everything at least twice. Get used to it; you should be cleaning before each coat of primer and paint. Be sure to use a soft lint free cloth that is either new or is very clean:
Next, its time to start primering. As directed, after shaking the can for 2 minutes once the agitation ball is free, use a gentle sweeping motion back and forth. For your first coat, you want to go very light. Subsequent coats can be heavier, but never heavy, as this can lead to runs, sags and bubbles, also known as fisheyes.
This is a good time to go ahead and prime your center caps as well. The self etching primer is also good for adhesion to plastic.
When you are done between coats, you should clean the nozzle of your can by inverting the can and spraying until clear gas comes out:
Once you have completed the primer phase of the backsides of the wheels, you can begin the front. Again, the first step is a double clean with the prep product:
Again, your first coat of primer should be very light. Subsequent layers can be heavier, but never heavy.
This is after two coats of primer, allowing 10 minutes of dry time between coats, but not more than one hour:
Prior to applying the first coat of paint. Gently go over the rough areas with a 1000 grit paper and clean the wheels twice with your prep product. As directed, after shaking the can for 2 minutes once the agitation ball is free, use a gentle sweeping motion back and forth.
Begin painting the back part of the wheels, it is recommended to start with the difficult areas such as spokes first. As with primer, your first coat must be light, subsequent quotes can be heavier, but never heavy.
This is a picture of the finishing touches of the first coat. For this project, three coats were used for the back side of the wheels. Of course, clean between each coat with the prep product.
Once you have finished painting the back sides of the wheels, you can begin the front side. You may wish to remove any overspray from the backside. Using 1000 grit sandpaper. Again, clean the surface twice with your prep product.
This is a very light first coat; you can go slightly heavier than this but not much more.
The recoat window between coats for this product is within one hour or after 48 hours. To fill in some time between coats, you can paint your center caps. Of course, lightly sand with 1000 grit, and then clean them twice with the prep product.
This is the center caps after a light first coat, just like with the wheels.
In this picture, one of the wheels is being sanded down between coats. This was done to smooth a few imperfections. If you run into any issues with your own project, such as imperfections or contamination sometimes you can make adjustments mid project with light sanding instead of stripping the wheel down and starting over. Let the paint dry for less than 1 hour so you can re-coat with the re-coat window, but allow the paint to harden before sanding. A good time frame would be 40-50 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity.
After you have fixed any imperfections, you can do your finishing coats, keep in mind, you have to clean the surface between each coat. It is not uncommon for the final coat to be the heaviest, which will allow the paint to gel together, and create a more consistent finish.
This is what the finished wheel looks like
This is the wheel with the tire installed. You may notice that the weights are they type that are glued to the inside of the wheel. Using the traditional hammered on style weights attached the lip will destroy your paint work and not look as attractive.
And finally, here is the finished wheel and tire installed on the car:
Special thanks to Duplicolor! Duplicolor sent me 4 cans of the new HWP-104 paint for free before it is available for sale to the public!
And please, don't call Duplicolor and harrass them, that is a special deal I worked out with them.
Also, Duplicolor used to sell another product by the HWP-104 part number, that was FLAT BLACK wheel paint, and has been discontinued.
You may find some kicking around on your local parts store shelf, beware, as of 7/26/08, the new HWP-104 Satin Black is still not on sale, but they still offer the rest of thier wheel paint lineup.
Notes: In many of the pictures, you may notice that it is either late at night or early morning. Obviously, this wasn't desireable, but it was needed. This project was done in mid july in Chandler AZ, where mid-day temps meet and exceed 110 degrees F daily. Optimum painting conditions call for temps below 90 degrees F, and low humidity. Here in the desert, humidity wasn't an issue, but heat was. The only viable solution was to paint at night. The reason wh you don't want to paint in temps above 90 degrees F is that you run the risk of solvent entrapment, which is a condition that causes bubbles, or fisheyes. Always follow manufacturer's instructions when using any paint, don't be afriad to call tech support.
Also, you can see in several pictures that I am wearing blue nitril gloves. There are three reasons why I am wearing them:
1. unlike latex, Nitril will not break down when exposed to prep cleaner or thinner in oil based paints
2. to help prevent the possibilty of my skin oils contaminating the surface, I know I clean a lot first, as you should, but I like to play it safe
3. I wanted to keep my hands cleen of course.

awesome write up we have been needing this
very good stuff. i've been thinking of doing this to my winter wheels
Shamrock is the man. I wasn't exactly sure how to paint my rims before since other how to's were lacking, but I just got done and my wheels are amazing. I did do some things different as I left my tires on.
Since my tires are balanced and all that with the glued on weights, I had to take those off but still have to put em back on. Took them off similar to removing emblems but before I marked where to put them back at (plan on using double sided tape).
DF in this case stands for Drivers Front...I have directional tires on so this made it easy for me. And the line on the tape is for matching up where they go (the weights)
To keep overspray from hitting the tire, I used index cards. I used ~150 3"x5" vertically and about 100 horizontally.
Other then that I did everything as posted above. CLEAN TWICE. and the end result...
Pics on the car tomorrow....
Glad you found my How-To helpfull!
I have seen in the past that many people paint wheels with the tires still on. It looks like you approached it the right way. For me, there was no question about taking the tires off, but I also know the cost off dismounting then remounting and balancing could deter some. I'm honestly not sure how to re-attatch the weights, let us know how the tape worked out, and if they stayed balanced after you were done.
Also, please post some pics of the finished wheels mounted on the car!
btw, if you get paint on your tires, a bit of graphite remover will take it off nice without wrecking the tire.
I just want to say before these wheels, my past painting projects have been less then stellar (and all on my car [thumbd]). Just need to remove some of the overspray that still occurred...
overall, they are pretty good [thumb]
and i need a drop
edit: wetsanding with 1500 grit sandpaper on the tires works well...
Added to the 'HOW TO ARCHIVE'........
I can't see the pics from the original post. :( is it just me?
I can see the others.

VW Group design chief Walter de'Silva reskins the Leica M9
Walter de'Silva has worked his magic on countless Alfa Romeos, Seats, Audis and now, as head of design for the entire Volkswagen Group, is responsible for styling even more brands and their products than just about anyone in the industry. But he can now add one more to his resume: a Leica camera.
The iconic German optics company brought de'Silva in to give its compact M9 camera a bit of a make-over. Rising to the task, de'Silva refitted the camera in titanium, gave its screen a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, trimmed it in Nappa leather, a diamond-texture surface and even reworked Leica's famous logo, centering it above the lens like a hood ornament. A gun-holster-like shoulder harness completes the package as de'Silva follows in the footsteps of fellow car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed for Canon and whose ItalDesign studio de'Silva's employers recently acquired.
Only 500 examples of the limited-edition, de'Silva-designed Leica M9 Titanium will be produced, fetching a suitably car-like $31,300 apiece.

Hasselblad launches H4D Ferrari Limited Edition
In fields as competitive as automobiles and photography, there can be few absolutes. But if you ask a pro photog or a camera buff who makes the best equipment, you're likely to hear the name Hasselblad. Ask the same of an automotive enthusiast and Ferrari stands more than a decent chance of being your answer. The two have undoubtedly met thousands of times before as Maranello's finest road and race cars have appeared through Hasselblad viewfinders, but now the Italian automaker and Swedish photography outfitters are teaming up in a different way.
The special edition Hasselblad H4D camera you see above is pimped out in Rosso Fuoco a shade of red considerably more subdued than Rosso Corso or Rosso Scuderia but no less Ferrari with a Prancing Horse shield to match and a special glass-topped compartmentalized case. Only 499 examples will be produced, following the classic Maranello formula of one less than they think they can sell. No word on pricing, but considering that an "ordinary" Hasselblad H4D fetches in the neighborhood of $20,000, we're hesitant to ask.

My confidence is quite high when it comes to makeup – applying it, blending it, color matching, contouring and more. I trust that I can achieve almost any look that I choose for any occasion. The same cannot be said for my skills with my hair. I have long hair so one would think that I am adept at many different looks, sadly, my abilities begin and end with a basic blow-out. This recently changed after I was introduced to the Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron. I have traveled down this curling iron road before and it always finishes with a dead end scenario of me struggling with holding the iron, positioning my fingers in an effort to not get burnt, and trying desperately to avoid the dreaded perfect curl with kinked (fried) ends. As soon as I pulled the Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron and accompanying heat proof glove out of the box, I knew that I would be rewriting my hair curling experience.
The brilliance of this iron is that is has no clip – thus no kinked ends! I can wrap the hair around the wand and hold the ends to the iron with the glove and not burn my fingers. Truth be told, that is what I had been doing all along with various irons, foregoing the clip and holding the ends to avoid a crimp, but ALWAYS burning my fingers in the process. (Admit it, you have done that too.)
Below is the before picture of my straight, everyday hair style. Yawn.
And here is the after picture of my fabulous curls.
I was able to achieve this look in less than 8 minutes – which thoroughly impressed me. There are 3 different heat settings, low, medium and high – I achieved this look using the medium setting. I held each curl for about 15-20 seconds. Another tip I picked up from a hair stylist years ago was to let the curl fall into a cupped hand after curling to let it set. With a product this simple, adding the Sedu Clipless Curling Iron into my morning routine without having to rewind my alarm clock to some ridiculously early hour is definitely possible. I think my makeup game just got some serious competition.
The Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron is available on the Sedu website and retails for $150.00
