A picture of the inside of the tiny toilet cubicle where Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by boyfriend Oscar Pistorius was shown for the first time today.
He says that he did not mean to shoot her, but prosecutors allege that he knew she was in cowering in the room and he shot her after an argument.
Pistorius told the court that he shouted "get the f*** out of my house" at what he perceived to be intruders, but prosecutor Gerrie Nel said he was at Reeva, knowing that she had fled to the toilet to try and escape.
In the picture, the first bullet that was fired is the bottom yellow tab - shot A - which hit Reeva in the hip.
She then fell backwards onto the magazine rack and, Mr Nel said, Pistorius moved his gun in the direction of the noise that caused, firing another three times and causing the fatal injuries.
Mr Nel asked Pistorius to tell the court what he had shouted at the perceived intruders, to which Pistorius responded "get the f*** out of my house. Get the f*** out of my house".
His voice became high pitched as he repeated the phrase before he broke down. A key part of his defence is that neighbours who said they heard a woman screaming or shouting actually heard him and that his voice becomes high pitched when he is distressed.
Mr Nel reduced the athlete to tears three times today as he subjected him to a fierce cross-examination at the start of the second week his trial for murder.
Mr Nel also said that the bullet holes in the door suggested that Pistorius first shot through the door towards the toilet, hitting Reeva in the hip.
He broke down again when Nel told him "you know exactly - you fired at Reeva." He responded through tears: "I did not fire at Reeva.
Just before the lunch adjournment, Mr Nel described it as being "just lucky" that the gun was pointed at the bathroom door, to which Pistorius answered angrily: "It wasn't lucky, she lost her life".
He then broke down in tears and Nel told him: "Now you cry again."
Pistorius was once again accused by Nel of "tailoring your version" to fit the evidence at the scene, listing the inconsistencies in this account.
The prosecution has said Pistorius's account of a mistaken shooting is a lie. Mr Nel opened the fourth day of cross-examination by alleging that Pistorius had "concocted" his account of the shooting.
"You're tailoring your version as you're sitting there," Mr Nel said. Later, he accused Pistorius of being a stickler for detail on some matters, in contrast to his frequent statements in court that he could not remember aspects of his evidence.
Mr Nel noted that Pistorius earlier said he warned Ms Steenkamp to call police about an intruder in a whisper, contradicting later evidence that he spoke in a "low tone" and the prosecutor also said blood spatter evidence indicated that the athlete's statement about the location of a duvet in the bedroom was false.
Pistorius has said the duvet was on the bed, and that police photographs of the bed cover on the floor suggest that police moved it there after the shooting.
Mr Nel said a pattern of blood drops on the duvet and on the carpet nearby show that it was on the floor before police arrived, and that its location amounts to evidence that the couple had been having an argument.
The prosecutor also said that Ms Steenkamp was in the process of getting dressed in the midst of the night-time argument and wanted to leave Pistorius's house shortly before the shooting. A pair of jeans strewn on the bedroom floor showed Ms Steenkamp was putting them on, Mr Nel said, and contrasted with her character as a neat person who would not leave clothes lying around.
Pistorius responded that Ms Steenkamp was neat, but he said the jeans were inside out and therefore showed that Ms Steenkamp had not been in the process of donning them.
Mr Nel also questioned why the athlete did not give fuller details of his account in his bail statement last February, days after he killed Ms Steenkamp.
Pistorius had said then that there was a noise from the bathroom that caused him to think that people had broken into his house, but did not explain until later that it was the bathroom window sliding across and slamming against the frame.
The athlete said that he was on medication and traumatised while in a jail cell at the time of his bail statement, which could account for any discrepancies with his later evidence.
Mr Nel also said it was improbable that, in Pistorius's story, Ms Steenkamp did not ask him why he was getting out of bed in the middle of the night to retrieve fans from the edge of the balcony.

Judge won't toss cheating case
ATLANTA (AP) — A Fulton County judge has refused to dismiss the case against dozens of Atlanta educators accused of conspiring to cheat on standardized tests.
Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter's decision is a victory for prosecutors. Baxter had expressed concerns about the prosecution's case last week after he said it appeared the defendants had been threatened with the prospect of losing their jobs if they didn't cooperate with the investigation.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Baxter will allow his decision to be appealed before trial.

I'm a 40-year-old male who has always been very sporty, though somewhat prone to injury. When fit enough, I play tennis, squash, football and jog five miles twice a week. I currently suffer from chronic tendon inflammation on both heels, knees and wrists. I am always experiencing sharp pains running from my heels to my ankle bones, on both the inside and outside of my feet. Should I just lie down and die?
Darren Turnmill, Glasgow
I think it is a bit too early for that. As many athletes will tell you, it is not uncommon to have multiple pains and aches. However, it is not so normal to have tendinopathy (the latest term to collectively describe two related conditions, tendon inflammation and microtears in or around the tendon) of several tendons at the same time.
It is possible that you are overusing all your limbs, which are sending you clear messages to adapt your activities. This is an individual characteristic; although it can be improved with training, some of us are just genetically more able to train hard. In others, the musculo-skeletal system is not built for extreme physical exercise, and rebels against it.
Another possibility is that your aches are a sign of a more generalised condition, such as one of the many inflammatory types of arthritis. I would strongly suggest that you consult your GP to make sure that this is not the case. As you have had injuries in the past, it is possible that you never allowed your body to recover properly. It is possibly too late now, and you will have to live with at least some of the consequences, which may well imply that you should limit your running, for example.
Meanwhile, you should consider non-weight bearing, non-impact activities. They may be less fun than playing ball games, but they will be gentler on the poor bones. Swimming, rowing, going on the cross trainer or on the stair master will allow you to have great workouts, with significantly less risk of problems. Above all, enjoy yourself, keep away from the couch, and don't die yet!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've been using a Foodsaver for years. Use it extensively to save cash on meats (I seal, then freeze).
I used it to keep camping clothes dry and sealed up many a meal to reheat by boiling, snipping open the top of the bag and eating directly from the bag or dumping on a paper plate.
Now that I own a boat, I'll use it much the same way. I definitely plan on sealing up spare parts to keep on board.
Never purchased the bags and have exclusively made my own from the rolls. They go a long way. I also use the sealable containers for use at home, sealing up salads and veggies. There's even a marinator tray that does a great job of quickly marinating meats. Rather than having to keep in fridge overnight, this baby sucks the marinade into the meats under vacuum. Geat time saver.
I want to upgrade, as my machine is getting a little tired.
Finally, sometimes I use a little rolled up paper towel in the bag to keep really juicy stuff from being sucked into the tray. Works like a charm.
|I got mine at a pretty good price . . . 1$. Don't recall the brand and I don't have it on hand, just now. Foodsaver, I think. It was a church yard/parking lot sale. I had a problem with the vacuum just going on and on and not sealing, too. But I found that if I take a liberally damp cloth and wipe the rubber gasket down, it seals fine. I do have a problem with the seal separating sometimes, but hey, at a buck, I can live with that.
I would also suggest getting the best one. I have a Seal A Meal and have bags in rolls which lets me custom size them. As someone else noted, meats MUST be frozen even if sealed.
Spare parts and special tools can also be sealed in these bags which will protect them and keep them in one place although I just use regular ziplock bags for that. I've not found anything yet as far as parts go that needs the vacuum seal.
When I deployed to Pakistan, I sealed a change of underwear and socks in a bag and a uniform in a larger bag. Kept them clean and dry and they took up less space. This could be handy on a boat.
I have a sealer that use's rolls as well, so we can design anything from it. I got bored one weekend and grabbed the instant coffee, sugar and creamer, put a spoon of coffee, a sugar and creamer in it sealed it and made a hundred perfect instant coffees ready to serve. made making coffee under way simple boil and add pack. I also invested in a great dehydrator for jerky and drying fruits and veggies, some of those farmers markets have the best veggies so before we could only get what we could eat in a few days, now I just buy a crapload, dehydrate and package up. makes for great soups, stews, snaks and pre packing to a meal size allowed me to buy in bulk and reap the savings and long lasting storage. well worth the little space they take up.
I had one the whole time we were cruising full-time and loved it. Unfortunately, the brand went out of business and I can't find another one similar to it (when we sold the boat, the new owners wanted the one I had).
If you use it at all frequently, you're likely to spend more on bags than on the sealer. I went with one that used "commercial" grade bags instead of the FoodSaver ones as they cost only about 6 cents a bag (they may be slightly higher now) and I could buy them in "broken packages" of 100 in each of several various sizes.
I didn't use it for leftovers -- didn't want to be getting it out all the time. But I used it all the time for meat (packed it raw, then froze), cheese (sealed it right over the wrapper -- it would stay good up to 4 months), and various other things that I wanted to store for several months.
We also used it for the engine and water filters -- saved us when we had a water hose leak that would have ruined a number of them stored in the same locker.
And don't forget to put a couple of rolls of TP in a sealed bag -- if you should get a leak in the locker where you store the TP, you'll be REALLY unhappy if you don't have a dry roll!
If you have the electricity or will use the vacuum sealer only at the dock with shore power, it's really wonderful. Just be sure to measure the storage space before you decide which model to get. Wish the brand I had was still being made -- it was wonderful and not too big.
Mine is a Food-Saver, I've had it a long time, the number of bags that came with the machine was incredible, it always seals, and it is recommended that you DO NOT try to seal frozen foods. The reason being is that if the food is frozen the bag does not conform nearly as well to the shape of the food and could leave small air pockets. Soft items, such as meat, fish, poultry, always conform air free and always seal completely. As for wearing a hole in the bag while sailing, NAH! That's not gonna' happen, at least with the heavy-duty bags that were supplied by the manufacturer.
Good Luck,

Maybe I need to shop for a new machine also.

Indeed it is.
Hi Bezac,
When you submit the item, there is an empty text field where you can put your description with a limited set of HTML tags.
When you go to submit you also fill in title, keywords, and other specs.
best, Tim
Thanks very much!
For me it was a long journey but is picking up very quickly.
I remember the getting the first sale, and it totally got me hooked. It reminds me of how when amazon.com started, every sale they got,.. a bell dinged.
ding….........ding…....... ding…ding..ding..ding
I started on GraphicRiver with some web elements 3 (unique) to test the waters, then moved into some business cards. Created a few which is giving some steady sales.
From there I started to get my feet wet in CodeCanyon and this is where I want to be for a while. I really enjoy coding and think I can contribute a lot.
I created 3 items so far – I have a super secret and awesome Wordpress Plugin in the works almost ready for release.
I think the marketplace is so awesome, but comes with a lot of but kickking. You need to work VERY hard. Each item submitted, is hard work, in both creation, and prep, as you know.
Not only that, it's a roller coaster. Some days, many sales, the next, only one. For me I want to increase my sales overall, but also get sales on the weekend. I know in general weekends are tough, but If I can get steady weekend sales, that would be awesome.
But each time I submit an item, I think to myself, could this be the one that changes me forever? I think thats the best part. The unknown, and working hard to be successful.
There are times when you want to give up. Don't. There are times when there will be rejection. But it makes you better. There are times when you want to scream. Do it.
Hope this gives you a quick snapshot of my journey so far
I just wanted to take a second to thank Envato.
They have created such an opportunity for so many people to potentially become very successful and make new connections with talented individuals on a global scale.
That being said -
Today I referred my 100th member to the Envato marketplace I hope to share this opportunity with many others!
Can't wait for my new black paw soon also, I have been working hard at it for some time now
Wishing you all many sales and success!
Happy birthday Envato!
This is great news thanks again
What else are you looking for outside of the default wordpress functionality?
Wordpress supplies a widget for comments. Is it more design?
MartijndeBont said
I think the easiest answers is when you are happy with the income you make here and you can live off of it (and still being able to put some money aside to save for the future), and if you are willing to take that risk.
How goes it so far?
A little jump at once,.. now back to normal

Just an FYI, I've been calling SOA once a week as a coping mechanism. I've gotten different receptions each time from different people. The first was good customer service; here's your VIN and estimated delivery date and feel free to call us weekly or so for updates, etc etc.
The second was just matter-of-fact, the date has changed from the 13th to the 12th.
This week's was some lady who kinda gave me a hard time, without overtly giving me a hard time. Kept politely informing me that the dealership is the place to be calling, they'll have more info than we will, etc. Finally she just said "it looks like it will be mid march sometime, deliveries can take up to 12 weeks you know."
Kinda funny, since the first time I called them was right after I spoke to the dealership, who didn't know anything, and I got my VIN and date estimate. I just called them again today and they still don't even have that info.
So, moral of the story, keep calling SOA for updates, just don't be surprised if you get some lady who gives you a hard time

How To Build A Better Community [Future Of Home Living]
PSFK Labs look at how new services are allowing residents to get a helping hand from their neighbors.
Though city life has long been associated with increased solitude and loneliness, the requirements of urban living in the 21st century is giving new meaning to the concept of community, especially in how we ask for help from others. "What makes us human is that we use goods, services [and even ideas and perhaps emotional effects] to create relationships with others. Sharings and exchanges create 'social indebtedness' to ensure long-term relationships and demand reciprocities," Genevieve Bell, Director of Interaction and Experience Research at Intel, told Forbes in July 2012. In February 2013, Tomio Geron wrote in Forbes that estimated revenue flow of the share economy into people's wallets is expected to surpass $3.5 billion in 2013, with growth exceeding 25%.
In a trend we are calling Community Outsourcing in our Future of Home Living report, PSFK Labs looks at how person-to-person services are enabling individuals to tap into the valuable skills and availability of people within a community to help accomplish personal tasks and errands. These cooperative networks are built on mutually beneficial relationships and exchanges, helping people manage cumbersome or last minute aspects of their lives when they don't have the time, energy or knowledge to do it on their own, often at little or no cost.
One example of community outsourcing that PSFK Labs has identified is the London-based collective Fixperts, an online platform that connects designers with people who need help solving everyday problems. The idea behind the project is to match designers who have practical know-how with anyone who needs assistance with specific challenges. Designers pay house visits with the intention of developing a solution to the problem in no more than three weeks. Design solutions so far have included a device to help an MS sufferer put in her earrings and fixing the broken joystick on an electric wheelchair. The process is filmed and uploaded to their website so the lessons learned can be transferred to the wider community. Fixperts positions itself as part of a wider return to fixing or 'hacking' products, rather than replacing them.
Another example of this community outsourcing trend is MamaBake, a community of mothers who cook big batches of food together so that, at the end of the night, each person goes home with a few meals to serve her family that week. The scalable model began as a small group in Australia, and has since sparked communities worldwide.Participants gather for approximately three hours per week to cook large meals. At the end of the session, each big-batch meal is divided up amongst the participants so that each woman goes home with a variety of homecooked meals to serve their families. The service saves mothers from kitchen duties as well as brings women together building a community centered on food.
Communities like Fixperts and MamaBake fall under a larger theme we're calling On Demand, which points to networks and systems are growing to help city residents enjoy their lives on their terms and at the speed they want.
PSFK has announced the latest in a series of trend reports. Following studies into retail, social media, gaming, work and mobile, the PSFK Labs consulting team have generated the Future of Home Living report. That report manifests as a free summary presentation, an in-depth downloadable PDF and an exhibition in New York City that runs to August 16.
RSVP below to take a tour of the exhibition at 101W15th.

First pic is cool. Looks like you are providing cover for the copters.
Great work brotha! And nice Photo-Chopping!
that is real nice Jon, that would be cool to wear when going to airsoft, you should come along next time i go....
Nice photographs too!
Nice, are you going to need jungle boots, they def go with nte Nam era, I think those are what was issued in the jungle. I have some Vietnam era m 16 mag holders if you want them. They have been sitting around my house for ages. I might even have some era h suspenders to hold up your A.L.I.C.E gear too.
Whistle8mp - i'd certainly be interested in the mag holders. PM me with a price and we'll sort something out
Nice setup, Jon. But no buttpack? I cannot see it from your unphotoshopped pic. Did you ever get that flak vest? Not meaning to hijack your thread, but this is my setup, as of now. I went a bit overboard (intentionally) with the water cantines, I have two attached to the Alice, and one missing in somewhere.. There is also two quarter water pack in there, as well as the shovel with it's sheat. Some of the gear are authentic, 'Nam era, and some are not.. I Have not bought the jungle BDU's or boots, but this is a no hurry project. Also not in the photo is my airsoft car-15, and some genades.. Mine will weight a ton when finished, without the bullets, water and other stuff!!! There is a army surplus store near me where I have bought all of these, if there is something you need, let me know and I'll see if they have them.
Hi chibi
Yep the butt pack is there buddy (you can just see the straps frm it in the 'shooting' phot)
I too have two canteens but have left my shovel off as that will go on my lightweight ruck once I get it.
and yep I got the flak jacket
This is so awesome...
Nice, REALLY nice. I'm taking the shovel out from my alice too, as they were not carried in the jungle, but left in the firebase when embarkin on a missions (there is only so much use for a shovel in a jungle..). How much did you pay for the flak jacket if you don't mind me asking? The nearby store asks a 140 euro's for an authentic 'Nam era jacket, which, while is tempting, still is a bit pricey.. And now that you mentioned it, I can see the straps from the butt pack...
Not to high jack
but heres my Saving Private Ryan getup
Tim - that is one very fine costume. Is it all period ?
Chibi - my flak jacket cost a lot but you can get them for around £100, still very pricy though
Jon, please call me Ville if you don't mind going by first name basis.. I checked the Flak jacket, and it's 149 euro's, which is around the same price as yours.. I guess I'll have to get it while I can, as it won't be any cheaper. As far as periodical jackets go, at least.
Ville - 149 euros is about the going rate and they won't be getting any cheaper bro
if you want we can run ideas past each other as our kit comes together
love the B&W Chop job pics, you gotta age them a little more, some yellowing or blood stains would be really cool.
These are some very nice setups you guys... I've been really leaning towards making some type of WWII setup, do you guys have any advice? Maybe a good place to find items? Thanks!
Holy cow guys nice suits!
And a little update with some more pics Just need a lightweight ruck and i'm there
Great shots! Man, I have a ton of this gear myself... collected it back in college. I should put together one of these suits too.
When I was doing boot camp, they showed us Full Metal Jacket just to warm us up. Very funny. But that Kubrick movie is like a summer camp compared to reality, so if you want to join voluntarily (I was forced) - think it over THREE MORE TIMES, stupid

Reviews for Italian Mushrooms
"This is the best mushroom recipe. I only make mushrooms using this recipe. I do however do it on top of the stove in a large saute pan. I use half the butter and saut? Onion till soft. I add mushrooms ,stir and cover and cooking medium/low heat, stirring occasionally, but keep mushroom liquid as much as possible. When mushrooms are tender enough to eat, I add the seasoning mix and stir well, then add remaining butter. And melt . Remove from heat and serve Delicious! Can sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley as garnish. Yummy."
"I substituted ranch dressing mix for the Italian and left out the onion. Very good!"
"Nice alternative way to fix mushrooms."
"Butter not needed. Can substitute with tarragon vinegar. Jarred mushrooms can also be used. These are just available variations of this recipe that I have tried over the years."
"Excellent and soooo easy! My husband raved about it. It didn't seem too salty to us, but we can all cut down on salt and probably cutting back on the seasoning packet, as Appy Girl suggested, I doubt would hurt the taste."
"My husband and I liked this a lot. Made as is, and will keep it that way."
"These were very tasty. Just a little to salty, so next time I will cut back on the seasoning packet mix. I think that it cutting it by 1/2 will still give you that rich, wonderful taste without the salt.It was a perfect topping to out Pulled pork sandwiches.Janie"
"Super easy and fabulous! I served it over steaks with mashed potatoes and biscuits and hubby loved it!"
"Great taste! Can serve as a side dish or, if the mushrooms were cut in smaller pieces, it would make an excellent gravy to accompany any meat. Such simple ingredients, yet has a extraordinary taste."

well, i'm not in michigan, but i'm from windsor. From the factory i had the performance guage pack - that was my only option.
Right now i have a blitz dual dc tt bought from Godspeed. By next wednesday, i will have cusco anti-swaybars, rev-lab short shifter, rev-lab underdrive pulley, rev-lab rear endlinks (to go with swaybars).
my goal at the moment is 350 hp.
Hi all,
I'm from Macomb, MI. This is my first post to clubwrx, I never knew it existed. I guess I have been missing out. Well anyways, here's my story I picked up my Blue Wrx August 2001 from Hodges and I started looking into performance kits or pkgs. I found Turboxs, great company and I m happy to say they helped me achieve 350 hp (So I think). This is how, I purchased the stage 4 kit from www.turboxs.com (Check it out). I m very happy with it! I have the VF-30 Turbo, Upgraded ECU, K&N, Full exhaust with 4" downpipe, Blitz digital boost controller, RFL blow-off valve, upgraded fuel pump, upgraded fuel injectors, and my stage 4 clutch and 12 pound fly wheel go in this week, 7/10/02.
I currently drive with my boost set at about 13 psi's which is quite comfortable but when the opportunity arrives and some tough guy pulls up in his Camaro SS which there's alot of them, I just turn it up to 18 psi's and generally he's toast, unless he's got some major work done. My next project is to get rid of the gross neon headlights and start working on the exterior of the car enough performance.
If anyone meets, goes to the drag strip, gratiot, whatever around the Metro Detroit Area give me a email. I m looking to go with some subaru's to the drag strip soon to find out my 1/4 mile times. Im pretty sure I'm in the 12's, but I want to know for sure.
Take care all and beat down those Camaro/TA's and SVT Lightings!
Email- firstname.lastname@example.com
My g/f and I just got the Rex this past Friday. After one weekend, it is even better than I thought it would be.
I live in Northville, and she lives in Toledo, but were are both moving to Wayne, MI.
We are planning on going to Milan Dragway tomorrow to baseline the car, if anyone is interested in going. Yeah, I know all about the break-in period, but we've already put almost 600 miles on it, so she's not in that bad of shape.
If you're not sideways, you're not pushing it hard enough!!
There's got to be more in MI. Come on, post here. Do it!

But i work in Ann Arbor.
Still pretty much stock because I'm saving up for a ring.
I have this board up all day at work...always wishing there were more MI activity.
Saw a blue WRX going south on the 23 yesterday (aroung 4:30)...I wanted to wave but all we managed at the freeway speeds (going opp directions) was just staring at each other. If you're here...Yo! nice Ride.
If Godspeed was open on weekends, I think that would be a cool spot to meet up...sorry Dan, don't mean to imply nothing (for anyone that don't know, my limited experience w/ him is that he's one hard-working busy guy (which I respect)).
'02 Plat. Wagon, Manual
I live in Sterling Heights, soon to be moving to Macomb Twp. and work in Troy. I drive a WRB WRX, have had it since early June. I love it. Stock for now but Cusco sway bars are on their way as I type. I am going to do suspension and cosmetic mods first because I dont want to deal with warranty issues just in case. If I see a fellow WRX'er i'll wave.
I'm in South Haven, just got the rex a few weeks ago in Kalamazoo. Silver Wagon, Blitz DCC TT, all the free mods, up-pipe next month.
Excellent. Let's keep this going. Tell a friend. I'd like to organize a small meet sometime soon, so I may be e-mailing you later.

Next week, we'll embark on our annual SFA Field Trip. This summer we're heading to Eastern North Carolina for—you guessed it—barbecue, among other local delights. One of our speakers will be historian and folklorist David Cecelski, an Eastern North Carolina native who writes a food blog for the North Carolina Folk Life Institute. Either Cecelski has a sixth sense, or his car's steering wheel is actually a divining rod, because he's a pro at venturing off the beaten path to taste and tell the stories of North Carolina's unsung foodways. He's found an Ecuadorian bakery in Raleigh and an international food market in a converted Greensboro textile factory.
When it comes to barbecue, Cecelski's latest discovery is the micro-trend of African-American owned barbecue establishments that have begun using turkey in lieu of pork for a variety of reasons—from concerns about cardiac health to accommodating a growing Islamic clientele. Click here for the full text of Cecelski's dispatch on turkey barbecue, which he suggests you try at Hickory Tree BBQ in Greensboro or Lenny and VC's Grill in Dover (conveniently located near Kinston, one of our Field Trip stops).

Alanis Morissette Hints at 'American Idol' Talks

Rihanna Breaks Down in Tears Over Chris Brown on 'Oprah: The Next Chapter' Teaser
There's a reason Oprah is so rich: She knows how to sell just about anything. Her upcoming episode of 'Oprah: The Next Chapter' with Rihanna is no exception, as the teasers keep getting juicier and juicier. In a new set of clips, we actually see the 'Hard' singer sobbing before breaking into giggles and making fun of herself, saying, "I'm gonna look so soft!"
What topic made her bust out the waterworks? Take a wild guess.
Rihanna Reveals Vulnerability in 'Oprah: The Next Chapter' Preview
"I came away getting a great sense of who she was."
Oprah admits that she had her own ideas about Rihanna before she chatted her up for her new show, 'Oprah: The Next Chapter.' "I went there with my own ideas about who she was from watching her videos and listening to her music," the talk show queen said. "I thought she was gonna be kind of a bada–, a kind of hard edged, rocker, pop woman." So was she right?

2012 Teen Choice Awards Winners List
Teens get a bad rap as being a pretty angsty, hormonal bunch — but they're also smart, fun and kind of awesome, so it only makes sense that the 2012 Teen Choice Awards followed suit. With nominations for everyone from Justin Bieber to Nicki Minaj to Zooey Deschanel, some frontrunners are predictable: Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and hostess with the mostess Demi Lovato are favorites for all of their categories, though for some of them they're actually competing against one another!
2012 Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet Pictures
The 2012 Teen Choice Awards brought out a pretty fashionable bunch.

Adam Lambert Speaks Out on 'American Idol' Judging Rumors
Even though it hasn't even been confirmed that Jennifer Lopez is leaving 'American Idol,' as soon as rumors hit, so did whispers of who'd fill her high-heeled shoes. Adam Lambert was reported to be heavily considered for the judging spot, and with good reason — he's one of the most successful 'Idol' alumni the show's ever had. So what does Lambert have to say about the rumors?

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Bordeaux vs Burgundy, huh?
This could actually turn into a really interesting discussion.
I'm torn...I enjoy the complexity of a good blend especially some of the newer red-white blends like syrah-viognay but some varietals like sangeovese I prefer pure.....btw sorry about the spelling...tired of fighting auto correct
I certainly enjoy some of the blends that have been delivered by winewoot! but I certainly don't think that 'the more the merrier' philosophy works here...
Cab/Merlot blends only.
100% depends on the fruit and what the end goal for an individual wine is.
yeh, you blend
Someone once explained it to me this way – Think of a varietal as a single flavor of ice cream, can be great on its own. Think of a blend as a sundae, you have the ice cream base but you add all the other components (hot fudge, nuts, whipped cream, etc.) and it makes the ice cream better or worse depending on your view.
Depends on the taste for us, so a blend has just as good a chance ending up in our wine cabinet as a single grape wine. For example, a great Chianti! Or an Amarone!

On the final day of a controversial loan program, the U.S. Department of Energy announced up to $4.7 billion in loan guarantees for three solar power plants in California and a rooftop solar project spanning 28 states.
To secure funding, companies had to have their commitments finalized by the end of the fiscal year, or Sept. 30. This 1705 loan program awarded its first guarantee, worth $535 million, in 2009 to the ill-fated solar panel manufacturer Solyndra. DOE spokesman Damien LaVera said Solyndra is the only recipient to collapse and its guarantee represents less than 2% of the program's lending.
On Friday, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said DOE finalized partial loan guarantees of $1.46 billion for First Solar Inc.'s Desert Sunlight Project in Riverside County, expected to be one of the world's largest solar plants, and a $646 million loan guarantee for the same company's Antelope Valley Solar Ranch 1 project in North Los Angeles County. He announced a $1.237 billion loan guarantee for SunPower Corporation's California Valley Solar Ranch Project in San Luis Obispo County.
"Deployment of utility-scale solar power will help bring down the cost of solar and strengthen our position as a global clean energy leader," Chu said in the announcements. He also said DOE finalized a partial guarantee for a $1.4 billion loan for Prologis' Project Amp in 28 states, which he said will "end up being the largest rooftop solar deployment in U.S. history."
By Friday's deadline, DOE finalized all but four of the conditional commitments it made via the 1705 loan program. It did not finish loan guarantees worth up to $2.4 billion for three solar projects and $16 million for one wind project.

Google Glass Gives Remote Doctors A First-Hand View Of Patients' Cases
Beam is an app that allows healthcare providers to live stream first-person video with a remote specialist.
Beam is a Google Glass app that lets healthcare providers share text, images, video, and location with others in the field. It also allows them to consult in real-time with specialists who are in a remote location by streaming first-person video feed.
Beam was developed by Noor Siddiqui and her sister Gina, a former med student at the University of Pennsylvania. Noor put her college education on hold for a Thiel Fellowship in 2012. They founded Remedy to work full-time on creating platforms that can help doctors collaborate using wearable devices, especially Google Glass.
Noor explained to Co.Exist that Beam is more useful than a Google Hangout connection because it is secure and easier to access. She gives the example of a burn victim visiting a clinic. Instead of calling the doctor, the doctor's assistant can simply take images using Beam, which assigns the patient a case number. When the doctor logs in on his or her Beam "expert interface," he or she will be able to see the cases under him or her along with all the images or videos attached.
In urgent scenarios, the assistant can also consult directly in real-time by live streaming first-person video. The doctor will be able to see the patient through the assistant's eyes.
Doctors at Harvard University and The University of Pennsylvania have begun testing Beam late last month.

I have a 2002 WRX with 80,000 miles on it. I am tryign to decide what I want to do. I am thinking about maybe getting a new car and trading mine in but I am having a hard time justifying all the costs. Therefore I am tryign to get an idea on the costs that I would most likely see if I was to keep my car for another 30,000 miles or so.
Can you guys help me estimate the costs for the following items: (I am looking for the estimates to reflect the cost for the parts plus the labor) I realize labor rates vary depending on where you live but I just need estimates:
- Replace Timing Belt and water pump? (Any other items I should replace at this time?)
- Replace Clutch
- Replace struts (Rear)
- Replace Struts (Front)
- New Break Rotors (Front)
- Wheel Bearing Replacment (2 wheels)
- Alingment (4-wheel)
Throw some ideas my way on what the costs would be.

My brother in law was shot yesterday in Afganistan. All we know is that it is serious. He and his wife have 7 and 9 yr old boys and another on the way in May. MIL (mother-in-law) is flying up there as DIL is not from the US and has NO family where she is. Please pray that he recovers from this and comes home for his LOs arrival, the alternative is too greusome to consider.
If you do not pray, then please keep a good thought for him and his family.
Thank you.
ETA; Their LO (little one) is due in January, not May (sorry a little distracted).

text: 2003 Tahoe 5.3 flex has had an intermittent issue for about 1 1/2 years now. It only does it on really warm afternoons. I have a 30 mile commute home. Generally, I'll make it 1/2 way home before it just cuts out. I pull off with engine sputtering, but no throttle response. It will finally die and not restart for a couple minutes. No check engine lights. The engine will restart as nothing ever happened. Sometimes I make it the rest of the way, others, I have to repeat the process. It ONLY does this on hot days and in the afternoon...It runs like a top the rest of the time. It ran all winter without an episode as well. In 1 1/2 it has had a fuel pump, filter, crank sensor, and fuel pump relay. All initially appeared to fix it, but to no avail. Finally, it got so bad and frequent, that I had to be towed. HELP!!!!!

Check out this video. It is happening right before our eyes and people don't see it. I also agree with schooling all of them!
The video "If I wanted America to fail" was written and narrated by Florida political activist, Ryan Houck. It is a shocking testament to how far America has come from the free market ideologies that made it the most prosperous country in the world. It is a wake up call to all environmental left wing extremists and to the regulations that have stifled America's growth. This video above all else is a warning that balance has to be found, before it is too late.

The myth has been around for long enough now. "Football is business," proclaimed The Independent when the Glazers took over at Man Utd. "The Football Business" runs the title of a book by David Conn of The Guardian. There are even university courses about the link between football and business.
Maybe it was true once, but since the arrival of Roman Abramovich, followed by the Glazers, Randy Lerner, Thaksin Shinawatra, George Gillett, Tom Hicks and many and various others, football has become little more than a rich person's playground.
According to one estimate, Abramovich has spent at least £600m on Chelsea since he arrived in 2003. He and Randy Lerner at Aston Villa are held up as the ideal type of foreign owner, for, as David Conn puts it rather euphemistically in the Guardian "investing" millions in their clubs. But this is not an investment. As Abramovich shows, this is spending with little hope of return, at least financially. Perhaps there might be some returns in terms of status or prestige, but financially, football no longer pays.
Once, Charlton was praised as the country's "best run club". Financial prudence and managerial stability saw this relatively small south London club win promotion to the Premier League and remain there for six years. Now they languish in English football's third tier, gone from beating the likes of Liverpool to falling to 3-0 losses at Colchester. The effort of staying in the top division for so long left the club with debts of £37m, and, as so many others are forced to, it had to go looking for wealthy backers.
Now their place as minnows punching above their weight in the Premier League has been taken by Wigan. But unlike Charlton, Wigan are not a self-made club. They are backed by another rich man, Dave Whelan, who, as Rob Bagchi has argued, has artificially elevated the club way beyond its natural position.
And this week there was the saga of Crystal Palace. The club entered administration this week for the second time in just over a decade. But unlike Leeds Utd before, Palace were not a team that had gone all out for Champions League glory, spending whatever it took to get there. They have not been in the Premier League since 2005. Their highest profile player is Victor Moses, the young British striker from whom they paid nothing, having brought him up through the youth ranks, and who has been chased by several Premier League clubs in recent weeks, including, reportedly, Spurs and Liverpool.
Part of the problem is that Palace are now playing in the same league as QPR, which is controlled by the combined financial power of Lakshmi Mittal, Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone. It is becoming increasingly difficult for clubs without that muscle to compete even in the lower leagues.
Knowing this, Simon Jordan, Palace's owner, put money and effort into its youth system, into cultivating players like Victor Moses and like John Bostock. Bostock was the teenage sensation who delighted Palace fans and was destined to become the anchor around which they based their midfield. But aged 16, the player decided to let his contract run out and join Spurs. Palace were compensated for the asset they had lost, the value of which was set by a Football League tribunal at £700,000. That was £200,000 less than Chelsea had offered when the player was just 14 and £4m less than Jordan had hoped for.
That was the moment it became clear the writing was on the wall for football as business. If a club that cannot compete in the transfer market, backed by wealthy owners willing to lose money, cannot rely either on home-grown assets being worth anything, it cannot survive on its own terms. There is no chance of what the corporate world might call "organic growth". Clubs like Palace face two choices: get bought out or forget about competing at the top level.

The old capitol of Brasil is a remarkly gorgeous place, where a translucid ocean meets mountains, lakes and an enormous urban area, forming a breathtaking sight that is the symbol of this country.
The European and African traditions are together, present in the culture, the food and the very faces of each carioca, making this atmosphere of unique characteristics: tasty food, colorful sights, contaging sounds and the sunny golden skin of the locals. It's not hard to see why, the "cariocas" are, perhaps, the most passionate citizens about their own hometown.
This is a series of studies inspired by some of the most famous and descriptive songs and sights of this amazing place.

Credit: (Getty) First pics at Chloe S/S 2007 (Oct. 7) Last Pic at Lagerfeld's Party (Oct 6)
A pretty face will always be a pretty face. That said, imagine what a cheap, plastic frame would do to the Mona Lisa. You get the idea? Well, this is how bad Kate Bosworth's new haircut truly is. At its best, the cut has improved the condition of her bleached locks. At its worst, it looks like every girl's hairstyle in grade 3 – blunt, lacking any shape, and as boring as watching glue dry. At the Chloe S/S 2007 show, she tries (key word: tries) to spruce it up with a go at the curling iron. Instead of looking tousled and effortless, it looks like the work of stay-at-home/part-time-hairdresser-in-the-basement mom who is bitter about life (then again, wouldn't you be?). At Karl Lagerfeld's party, she, well, does nothing to fix the mess at all. Please Kate, grow back your old hair. In the mean time, have your people call J.Lo's people – I hear she has villages of 3rd world women being raised merely to sacrifice their luscious locks for her own vanity.
PS: Fashion-wise, Ms. Bosworth is looking on top of her game.

"If prostitution is the world's oldest profession, then surely masturbation is the world's oldest avocation."[1]
In spite of historical efforts depicting masturbation as a practice perniciously impacting health, current research instead finds it is an important aspect of healthy sexual development. Alfred Kinsey and his work on male and female sexuality galvanized this shift in perspective; he found that almost all of the men and more than half of the women he interviewed reported having masturbated in the past. Still, old habits (and beliefs) die hard, and, fifty years later, the topic of masturbation remained taboo as evinced by an acknowledgment by the editors of the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality that they was unable to accumulate enough articles on masturbation to publish a special issue on the topic.[2] Studies of masturbation are rare, and few studies to date have gone beyond asking the basic questions of do you masturbate, if yes how often, and to what extent do you experience guilt. In aggregate though, studies on the subject conclude:
In spite of the aforementioned benefits and concomitant lack of untoward consequences, many men and women are still displeased when they discover their romantic partner is masturbating. They believe their partner must be bored or dissatisfied if he (she) is masturbating. Available research however does not necessarily support this assertion and instead finds that that masturbation is actually healthy in relationships. Early on Kinsey discerned a link between sexual satisfaction in relationships and prior orgasmic experiences; he found that women who had not experienced orgasm before marriage were much less likely to be orgasmic with their partners in marriage. More current research finds that married women who masturbated to orgasm had greater marital and sexual satisfaction than women who did not masturbate.[3]
Masturbation is also not a feeble substitute for sex with a partner, a common belief I hear often in treatment. (e.g., "I have a girlfriend. Why would I masturbate?") If this were true, men and women who have active sex lives would be expected to masturbate less frequently than persons without partners. Yet research finds little correlation between frequency of masturbation and frequency of intercourse. As one example, a study of college students found those who masturbate frequently also engage in intercourse more frequently and have more sex partners.[4] So while masturbation may indeed be a substitute for single people and those whose partners eschew sexual activity, it is also an integral behavior in the sexual repertoire for many who already have satisfying sex lives.
The primary reason humans masturbate is pleasure, regardless of relationship status. Does this mean then that masturbation is never a concern in a relationship? If one's partner primarily meets his or her sexual needs through masturbation to the detriment of the relationship, it might be time to consider seeking help. Masturbation can support the sexual health of a relationship but should not completely take the place of shared sexual activity, unless this is a pact both partners expressly agree upon.

What do you think: Domestic Shorthair or Medium hair? Or another kind of breed?
Hi Catsters! Recently, I've been thinking.. what KIND of cat WAS Sherman? He was a petstore cat. But we don't remember exactly what kind of cat he was. In Forums, another member thought he was a Domestic Medium Hair cat, but I was thinking maybe Domestic of American Short hair? Is he a British Short hair? Do you think he has SHORT hair? Medium hair? I don't have any, any idea. Please, any breed suggestions would be appreciated. You can check out his picture on his and Shelby's page. He's the striped cat, not the tri-colored. He has a couple good pictures up. Suggestions? Ideas? Please tell me what you think. Any breed thoughts. Just to give us some ideas and so we could do a little research, look at pictures, and post his breed on his page. We currently have Domestic Medium Hair only because his tail looks pretty fluffy. Paw mail me with anymore more Sherman questions. Thanks!!!!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I'm so sorry that you lost both Sherman and Shelby. As someone who volunteered and did adoptions through PetsMart and my rescue organization, I can guarantee you that most rescue cats, including Sherman are probably at least 90% of the breeds you mentioned. British Shorthairs are VERY rare, so probably not that particular one, but I'm certain Sherman's Family Tree had MANY branches and limbs with all sorts of interesting characters sitting there. For years I thought my Delilah was part Maine Coon since that's what the rescue listed her as, but after becoming friends with a fancier of Persians, I realized she is part Persian and probably no Maine Coon. But, in the long run, she is Delilah the Divine Diva and I'm very satisfied with that!

'Amiga'. Just to say the name brings back wonderful childhood memories for me as I wiled away (far too many) hours playing the likes of Kick Off 2, North and South, Lotus Turbo Challenge, Populous and Xenon 2, but could it really make a comeback? A-EON certainly hopes so...
The company, which owns the 'AmigaOne' trademark for selling compatible Amiga hardware, has announced the 'X1000' - the first new Amiga computer in over five years. Promoted as a 25th anniversary upgrade to the original Amiga 1000, it is a sizeable (and naturally necessary) step up from its predecessor's 7.09MHz CPU, 32 colour 320 x 200 pixel graphics and 256KB of memory.
Instead what the X1000 brings to the table is a dual-core 1.8GHz PPC RISC CPU, ATI Radeon R700 graphics, 2GB RAM, a 500GB HDD, 7.1 channel audio and a 22x DVD drive. There are also up to 10 USB 2.0 ports and 2x PCIe x16 along with Gigabit Ethernet. On top of this is 'Xorro' a customised PCIe x8 slot which can directly influence the X1000's CPU.
As standard a 'Xena' programmable 500MHz board is slotted into Xorro to boost system performance, but it is hoped further boards will be developed in future to help the X1000 stay reasonably future proof.
As with all AmigaOne computers, the last of which was the 2004-2005 'Micro-A1 -C' made by licensee Eyetech (yeah, we missed it too), the X1000 will run Amiga Workbench. Remarkably, the OS is still being steadfastly maintained to this day and v4.1 was launched in January this year. I'll admit to knowing little about any Amiga OS since my 1.0 days, but on the outside it does look surprisingly good and has more than a hint of Mac OS X going on.
So can A-EON really stage an Amiga revival? I'd say the odds are extremely long - particularly without a modern laptop as well to provide some mobile continuity. That said, it would take a cold heart not to want to see Amiga rumble on as a niche product and - if prices can be kept reasonable - there seems no reason why A-EON's X1000 can't achieve that.

Add "Win+X" Cascading Menu in Windows 7 and Later Desktop Context Menu
NOTE: The "WIN+X" cascading menu script given in this topic will work in Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.
If you are a regular AskVG reader or a Windows 8 Beta tester, you must be knowing about the new "Quick Access Menu" (Win+X Menu) present in Windows 8. Microsoft has removed the good old Start button from Windows 8 Taskbar and has replaced it with a new thumbnail which appears when you move your mouse cursor to bottom-left corner.
When you right-click on extreme bottom-left corner of screen, you get a new hidden menu showing shortcuts to lots of useful system tools such as Task Manager, Control Panel, Run, Power Options, Command Prompt, etc. You can also access this hidden menu using "Win+X" keyboard shortcut, that's why its also called "Win+X Menu".
Following is a screenshot of Win+X menu present in Windows 8:
If you are not using Windows 8 but want to have a similar thing in Windows 7, here is something interesting for you!
Today in this topic, we are going to provide some ready-made registry scripts which will bring Windows 8 "Win+X" Menu to Windows 7 Desktop.
Although we can't get the Win+X Menu at the same location in Windows 7 but we can add it to Desktop context menu so that you can access it quickly and easily by just right-clicking on Desktop.
We have used the same method in creating this Win+X Menu for Windows 7 which was mentioned long time back in following exclusive tutorial:
Add Cascading Menus for Your Favorite Programs in Windows 7 Desktop Context Menu
Using the above mentioned tutorial, we have created a few Registry scripts which can add a new cascading menu in Desktop context menu containing all the shortcuts present in Windows 8 "Win+X" Menu. You can put this Win+X Menu at top, middle or bottom of Desktop context menu.
You can also select whether you want to show icons for all shortcuts or want to have a clean menu without icons similar to Windows 8 Win+X Menu.
Following is a preview of Win+X Menu added in Windows 7:

To add Win+X Menu in Windows 7 Desktop context menu, you just need to download following ZIP file, extract it and run the appropriate REG file:

It'll immediately add "Win+X" Menu at desired position in Desktop context menu. "For Dutch Language Users" and "For German Language Users" folders contain the same registry scripts to add Win+X Menu in Dutch and German languages.
An extra REG file "Uninstall.reg" is also available in ZIP file to remove the Win+X Menu if you don't like it and want to remove it.
