Downgrade. Longer stripes were better.
pscf3 replied to Conrad.'s topic in Sports LogosI like the logos, but given that the team will actually be playing in Southaven, Mississippi, I think the team name should've been either "Southaven Hustle" or "Mississippi Hustle." Go with "Mississippi Hustle" and you can keep the logo with the M and the ball.
USM will also wear 1997 throwbacks this fall:
Southern Miss has new gold jerseys for the 2017 season. Much better than their last attempt in 2013 and 2014. These are consistent with their current black and white jerseys that they've had since 2015. Their current set is decent, but the black on black numbers at home really dilute the look. The tweet also hints at gold pants; they've mostly worn black pants the past two seasons, but they did wear white pants twice late last season, once with a matte helmet.
pscf3 started following 2017 SEC Baseball Concepts
pscf3 posted a topic in ConceptsIt's been a couple of years since I've done a college baseball concept series, so I started on these about a couple months ago. I finished the SEC West today so I figured I'd go ahead and post them. Basically I'm just doing a few tweaks and changes here and there; college baseball uniforms as a whole have been really good this year. Pants and hats are for the most part interchangeable in all concepts. For reference, my previous attempts at college baseball concepts: 2014 NCAA Baseball Concepts 2015 SEC Baseball Concepts The first team I did was Mississippi State, because bias. I completed and posted my Mississippi State "master plan" concept early last month. The full post can be seen here: http://www.hailstateunis.com/concepts/baseball-master-plan-2017-concept Basically, my Mississippi State concept contains 11 different jerseys; they would theoretically go in and out of rotation and 5 or 6 would be worn each year. Next is Alabama. For the Crimson Tide, I went with two jerseys for each color (white,gray,crimson). I think pinstripes would work for Alabama; I gave them both white and gray versions. On the white jerseys, I went with a cursive "Crimson Tide" script. I used the official block "Alabama" on gray and crimson jerseys. A second crimson jersey has the "A" logo. Arkansas already has some really good uniforms. I removed the side panels, added a sleeve patch, added a second red jersey, and brought back the Sunday cream jersey. Otherwise, Arkansas is already good. Auburn has some awesome cream throwbacks, so I wanted to expand on those a bit. I added a navy hat with an orange AU (to be used with the cream and gray uniforms) and retained both current hats. The "Auburn" script is on the cream, gray, orange, and alternate navy uniforms. The other jerseys (white, pinstripe, primary navy) have the "AU" logo. Copperplate has been eliminated throughout the set; block numbers are used on every jersey. Like Arkansas and Mississippi State, LSU already has some of the best baseball uniforms in college baseball. I added a tiger logo patch to the sleeve, piping to the pants and sleeves, and added a double outline to the numbers on the purple jersey. That's it. The biggest change I made with Ole Miss is switch to the alternate "UM" logo full time. I think it's a better and more unique logo than the block "M"; Ole Miss should seriously start implementing it throughout their athletic identity. I also updated the "Rebels" script and added a faux-back pinstripe (somewhat based on these) set using the alternate "Ole Miss" script also used on the powder blue uniforms. B/W/R piping is used throughout the uniforms. For Texas A&M, I brought back the "Texas Aggies" script on the primary white and gray jerseys. Bevels are gone!! Alternate hat with white front panel and state outline logo is back. Hope to finish the East sometime soon.
Green Bay's home look is perfect. No changes needed there at all. Their road jerseys are nice, too; my only problem is that the striping allows white and gold to touch. So for this concept, the striping on the road jerseys is reverted to the classic green-gold-green-gold-green. The color rush jerseys are based on the 1953 uniform set, which used a Kelly green and athletic gold color palette.
I noticed that when I was uploading it, and I realize what happened: the red helmet looked too bright originally so I darkened it a bit for my mockup. Forgot to change back to the regular red for the rest of the concept. That being said, I'll leave it because I think it kind of works for Atlanta. Differentiates them from other red teams in the league.
With the Falcons moving into a new stadium next year, It'd make sense for them to update their look for the move. They do need an upgrade; the early 2000s piping looks really dated. In this concept, I used a slightly modified version of their current logo, removing the silver outline and slightly thinning it. The primary helmets are red; black helmets are retained in the "what if no one helmet rule" part. For the most part, the concept is in the style of the Falcons' older uniforms, with one major exception: Falcon wings are added to the sleeve caps. This idea was inspired by the wing design in the new stadium.
As I'm sure it did lots of people, today's news of the Chargers moving to LA got me thinking about what they should do with their uniforms when they complete the move. A bit of an unpopular opinion on here, I really like the Chargers's current set. It has a great mix of powder blue and navy throughout, and I'd rather they'd stay in San Diego and not change it. However, with them moving, it looks like changes will indeed happen. They unveiled an LA logo this morning, which I actually don't hate. The color scheme they're presenting of navy and white is incredibly boring though, not to mention the exact same as what the Rams are likely to use. I'm using the LA Bolt logo, but switching up the color scheme. Powder Blue returns as the primary color, and gold is retained as the secondary. "Storm Gray" is added in place of Navy, an idea I've thought of before and have seen mentioned several times on this board. The gray color is used as an accent throughout and as the primary color on a "color rush" alternate. I almost went with powder blue helmets full time for this concept. They're still included in the "What if no one helmet rule" section, but white helmets get the nod as the primaries. With the Rams, I wanted to create a clear contrast with their "roommates." The Rams seem to be trending toward Navy and White, and that's where I went with this concept. Simple Navy and White with Ram horns on the sleeves and the end zone font for numbers and wordmark. Yellow does stay in the color rush, which is just a slightly updated version of the one they wore in 2015. Their "what if" helmet is a white helmet with navy horns, which would allow for a slick stormtrooper look.
Honestly, with the Cowboys, I just wanted to mock up something with Dak Prescott again. My motto for them was "compromise brings consistency." Dallas notoriously uses two different shades of silver and two different shades of navy/blue. For this concept, I took a mix of the colors and created a set that is consistent throughout. The home and away set are exact opposites, as are the two alternate/color rush uniforms, both of which work better with a white helmet.
For the Steelers, I only made a few minor changes to their classic look. A darker "steel" gray color is introduced for the logo outline and primary facemask color. The helmet is now matte black, which fits their tough persona. The number font is back to block, with a stencil to fit in with the "steel" theme. The pants stripe now reflects the pattern of the sleeve stripe, as opposed to being solid black. Alternates include the color rush from last season, along with another gold color rush uniform. The alternate helmet, if allowed, would be gold.
pscf3 posted a topic in ConceptsImgur Album Links: Saints Steelers Cowboys Chargers Rams Falcons Packers With the NFL Playoffs starting today, I decided to mock up some ideas I had for a three NFL Teams: the Saints, Steelers, and Cowboys. I loved the color rush uniforms for both the Saints and Steelers; ideas from both are implemented in these concepts. For the Saints, the concept basically is their color rush; there is no reason they shouldn't adopt that look full time. I simplified their helmet logo a bit and brought back the Louisiana state outline logo as a chest patch. In addition to the white jerseys taken from the color rush set, the concept includes a black jersey with gold-white-gold-white-gold stripes as well as a gold jersey with b-w-b-w-b stripes. An alternate white helmet idea is also shown; it would only be used if the NFL were to lift the one helmet rule, obviously.
pscf3 started following 2017 NFL Concepts
Definitely mix and match, though for State and OM, I think I showed most all of the acceptable combos. The decals for USM are completely interchangeable and served to show different options more than anything.
2. Ole Miss The Rebels' look is serviceable as is. If they didn't make any more changes ever, they'd still have a good look. I do have a few changes I'd like to see, however. I. Gray facemask on primary navy helmets. I know some on this board are opposed to gray facemasks, but in Ole Miss's case, I think they would be an improvement. If you only wear this helmet with gray pants, then you have consistency between colors (navy, red, and gray) on the helmets and pants. II. Add TV Numbers. I don't know why they aren't there now. LSU makes them fit. III. Add a second pair of gray pants to be worn with powder blue helmets. Even as a Mississippi State fan, I can admit that Ole Miss's powder blue helmets are beautiful. However, they're always worn with the gray pants, which have a navy stripe on them. There needs to be a separate pair of gray pants with a powder blue stripe. IV. Add the UM logo to the collar and pants. Last season, Ole Miss started using a UM logo on some alternate baseball caps. I think it'd work well on the pants, as well as the Vapor Untouchable collar. A couple extra, non-traditional ideas… V. Bring back the navy-based road uniforms. From 2013 through 2015, the Rebels had two road jerseys: the traditional red-accented and a new navy-accented. The navy-accented alternates were not worn in 2016. This concept proposes bringing them back, along with navy-striped white pants. VI. Add a white helmet and an alternate design for the navy helmet. The last few seasons, the Rebels have come very close to wearing uniforms that excluded one of their primary colors. I say why not go all out. Add a white helmet with red decals and get some white decals to go on the navy helmet. A prototype of the white helmet floated around a few years back, and I recall some positive response. Helmets for Ole Miss: Primary Uniforms for Ole Miss: Alternate Home Combos for Ole Miss: Alternate Road Combos for Ole Miss: ------------------------------------ 3. Southern Miss Southern Miss's current look is lightyears better than the one that preceded it. Still, it's not great by any means. They really wanted to make black a point of emphasis, and in doing so they neglected gold. They wore these amazing throwbacks in 2012, but went 0-12 that year. I made this concept back in August of 2015, and for the most part I stick by it. This is just on an updated template with some minor tweaks. It is a Nike template; it was easier to deal with than a Russell template. For this concept I'll assume that USM signs back with Nike. Major points for Southern Miss: I. Design based on throwbacks. Black shoulder caps, then gold-black-gold shoulder stripes. This design is kept consistent across black, white, and gold jerseys. For pants, the striping pattern is black-gold-black on gold, gold-black-gold on black, and black-gold-black on white. II. Shiny black helmets at home. Same as now, except stripes are added and the "Southern Miss" wordmark is un-inverted. Still no white, just black and gold. III. Matte black helmets on the road. They wore matte black helmets during their successful 2011 campaign, and brought them back late in this past season. I hope we see them more often on the road in the future. In this concept, there are three different decal options for the matte helmets; "Southern Miss" wordmark, full body eagle logo, and eagle head logo. IV. Gold helmets as alternates. The Golden Eagles wore gold helmets as alternates during their 0-23 streak in 2012 and 2013. They did finally win their first game in 24 vs UAB in the gold helmets, and promptly haven't worn them since. Give them a black facemask instead of the gray that they were using, and the gold helmets actually look good. Same decal rotation as the matte helmets.

pscf3 posted a topic in ConceptsWith the college football season coming to a close, fans start to look back on the season as a whole and talk about what needs to be improved. Of course, this generally applies to on-field performance, but the same principle can be applied to uniforms. Some teams already have theirs perfected. Some have a good base and just need to build off of it. Others need a complete rebrand. None of the three FBS teams in Mississippi have reached that stage of perfection yet, but none are at stage zero, either. Mississippi State's 2016 pants and road jerseys are as close to perfection as possible, but they need to update the home jerseys to be consistent. Ole Miss has a pretty classic look, but color inconsistencies, some of which can't be fixed without deviating from tradition, are prominent. Southern Miss is farthest from a great look, but they have a solid foundation and some great throwbacks that they should build off of. ------------------------------------ 1. Mississippi State The last few seasons, Mississippi State's football uniform changes have followed a pattern of two steps forward, one step back. This past season, they added , a road jersey with no black outlines, and a silver helmet that fit well with rest of set. However, they kept the maroon jersey with black outlines, got rid of the matte maroon helmet, and wore a head-scratching black jersey with a templated Adidas design- Louisville wore the exact same one. What needs changing in 2017: I. Make the maroon jerseys match the white jerseys. Remove the black outlines on the numbers and put white-gray-white stripes on the sleeves, matching those on the maroon pants. Granted, I would have gone with gray-white-gray, but it looks like they've settled on w-g-w, presumably to retain two white stripes on the sleeve. II. Bring back matte maroon helmets. The biggest disappointment of 2016 was the lack of matte maroon helmets. They were replaced by the silver helmets, which admittedly worked in their own right. However, the matte maroons were the Bulldogs' best helmets. I'd like to keep both the matte maroon and silver helmets, but if one has to go, let it be silver. III. Make the gray pants match the white and maroon pants. By far the most minor change needed, the gray pants just need to be updated to match the format of the other two. Remove the M-State logo from on top of the stripe on the left side and put one on the front left. IV. Add gray alternates instead of black. State has a silver helmet and gray pants. A gray jersey, with stripes matching the gray pants, only makes sense. It would look so much better than the string of black alternates do. IF they were to go back to a black jersey though, it should match the other jerseys, with white-maroon-white or silver-maroon-silver stripes. More like the 2015 version than 2016.

Ituri's forest-dwelling pygmy tribes have been caught between opposing groups supporting the government and Ugandan-backed rebel groups in the last battles of Congo's four-year civil war. The two Ugandan-backed movements routinely enslave pygmies to forage for forest food and prospect for minerals, a UN official said.
Hunters returning empty-handed were killed and eaten.
Sudi Alimasi, an official of the pro-government group Rally for Congolese Democracy-ML, said it had received reports of cannibalism from people displaced by fighting more than a week ago.
"We hear reports of [enemy] commanders feeding on sexual organs of pygmies, apparently believing this would give them strength," he said. "We also have reports of pygmies being forced to feed on the cooked remains of their colleagues."
Cannibalism has re-emerged throughout eastern Congo as the last vestiges of colonial influence erodes during the war. Much of the vast forested area is controlled by the Mayi-Mayi, a loose grouping of tribal militias united by their magical beliefs and taste for human flesh.
"We are hearing reports of untold horrors in Ituri," said Wyger Wentholt, of Doctors Without Borders.
Nearly all the foreign troops involved in the war in Congo that broke out in August 1998 have withdrawn, but fighting has intensified among the country's main rebel factions, splinter groups and tribal fighters after the pullout in the east.

Accessible Minivans
Saturday January 01, 2000 -
The purpose of buying an accessible minivan is not to clean out your pockets. It should not be an excessive expense. There are several competing companies in the business of producing accessible minivans. AMS Vans does not use a commission based tactic to sell accessible minivans. Our knowledgeable staff will not use pressure in order to make a sale. Their most important obligation is to provide assistance and information to buyers of accessible minivans.
Adaptive Mobility Systems' accessible minivans come directly from the factory. There is no middleman between the factory and the purchaser. Eliminating the middleman from the process is for the benefit of the purchaser. This means that there is no unneeded cost added to purchasing handicap minivans. AMS also understands that traveling to pick up your vehicle might be a daunting task; therefore, your accessible minivan can be safely delivered from the factory to your chosen destination.
Each accessible minivan must undergo several safety inspections to ensure the protection of you and your passengers. AMS vans are tested according to the strictest Federal Safety Standards. Tests on accessible minivans include government controlled crash tests. The AMS staff of professional staff are experts at maintaining quality controlled surroundings. Apart from the required Federal Safety Standard tests, AMS carries out several other tests and inspections on an ongoing basis. Purchasers of handicap minivans can rest assured that they are driving a safe and reliable accessible minivan.
In order to accommodate as many individuals with disabilities as possible, there are two different types of accessible minivans. They include the rear entry lowered floor minivan and the side entry lowered floor minivan. Full sized accessible vans are more costly to drive than accessible minivans. The obvious reasons for this are handicap minivans use a more fuel-efficient engine and minivans have a lower weight. For resale purposes handicap minivans endure less depreciation than full sized vans.
The least expensive accessible minivan available is the rear entry modification vehicle. The rear entry conversion to the original minivan is far less inclusive. The cost is reduced even more when converting to a rear entry accessible minivan because most of the original parts are kept. This means that there are less production hours resulting in the lowest possible cost for a rear entry handicap minivan.
Converting to the side entry lowered floor accessible minivan is more complicated than converting to the rear entry minivan. The adaptations to the chassis of the side entry handicap minivan are quite extensive along with the doors. However, side entry handicap accessible minivans are especially popular with families. Side entry handicap minivans provide adequate space for families that require fully automated and accessible features.
Accessible minivans are easier and more comfortable to drive than accessible full sized vans. As a general rule, the handicap minivan's weight distribution and its dimensions are similar to those of an unmodified minivan. The side entry vehicle is most suitable for wheelchair users who self-drive their accessible minivan. In most instances, the floor is lowered in the front, which gives direct access from the ramp to the driver's seat.

January 11th, 2013
On January 8th, 2013, Diocesan Council decided to recommend that the Camp Artaban Society immediately cease operating the camp on Gambier Island, pending completion of the work of a new Camping Ministry Task Force of the Diocese. If the Society agrees, the Diocese will fund shutdown costs (at least $130,500).
After extensive study and careful consideration Council believes continued financial contributions to Camp Artaban (CA) are not in the best interest of the Diocese's child, youth and family Christian Camping ministry. The Diocese will seek to work with the CA board to ensure the orderly closure of CA facilities.
CA has accumulated debts of $758,000 and requires another three million dollars to bring the camp up to modern health, safety and programmatic standards. This on-going drain on financial resources is not sustainable. The orderly closure will allow for the possibility of bank and Diocesan loans to be fully repaid.
The Diocese supports the idea of a Christian Camping Ministry, but does not wish to limit this to a particular site. The new Task Force on Christian Camping will explore other models such as residential, day programs and other opportunities for children, youth and families.
The final decision on the future of the camp rests with the Camp Artaban Board and Society. If Diocesan recommendations are followed camping operations will be suspended for this year.

It was a Thursday evening in Florida. Fetish star Roxie Rae was at home changing for a shoot she was scheduled for at 9pm. The shoot planned had a school girl theme that Roxie Rae knows well. Roxie Rae is a petite star standing only five foot tall with a size 5 petite shoe. With her 5″ tall high heels pleaded skirt and black top, it was time to head out and get to this shoot already. Twenty minutes to go she hopped in the car and hurried down the street. The moon was s bright this evening she hardly needed headlights. What she did need however, was help with a flat tire.
Four minutes into her drive down a two lane back road Roxie Rae hit a nail in the road and forced to pull over. She stood outside the car looking at the flat right front tire in disbelief. Ten minutes till nine and still so far to travel Roxie Rae was screwed. She looked both ways on the road. No cars coming in either direction. She got on the phone.
"Hey it's Rox. I'm stuck on the boulevard with a flat. I'm gonna a little late but I'm coming." She hung up with the producer.
Pacing outside the car she waited on a call back from her friend who can help her. The screen would time out and go black and she pressed it again to relight it staring at it hoping helplessly. Every second felt like an hour. The light of moon suddenly dimmed. The street became extremely dark. Roxie Rae walked back toward her car to get inside for her own safety when a bright platinum light came down over her. Roxie Rae could not step any further trapped in the light. Confused and scared she looked up at the light beam. It was blinding and captivating. The light felt warm.
Suddenly was a feeling of weightlessness and hit phone slapped the pavement out of her grip. Roxie Rae was no longer touching the ground. Her body was lifting in the light. Roxie Rae was paralyzed in the light rising her from the ground. She suddenly felt a mist moistening her face and everything went to black. Roxie Rae was captured and sedated inside a UFO. The platinum was no longer seen and craft vanished in the sky. The moonlight shined down again now on an abandoned car and broken phone on the pavement only three feet in front of it.
A rush of fluid suddenly hit Roxie Rae's face awakening her. Very disoriented she opened her eyes and looked around. The room was rather dim and her arms were aching. She looked up to see her wrists were suspended high over her head. She could make out that their were other in the room always suspended in the same way. This must have been some sort of holding tank. A faint harmonic tone sounded and the room begin to hum. The room was turning. Suddenly Roxie Rae felt herself rising up the wall she was against. Her body moved through a small channel where she was sprayed with a freezing cold mist. She held her breath as the mist drenched her. Her body was then raised into a new well lit room.
Several pale white beings stood in this room watching as she rose out of the floor. One of the beings approached her and she opened her eyes. Paralyzed in fear she looked straight him as looked back. The being made a sound. And she responded quietly "Hello." The being responded with another noise. Two more beings approached and began inspecting her. They touched her clothing curiously and pulled at it as they inspected her. Roxie Rae was panting and her silent panic. The beings looked over her closely moving several noises. One being held up a small wand the size of a pen. A light shined from the device as it lined down her top cutting it from her carefully. Her eyes widened in fear. The wand was shined on her little skirt cutting it free from her waist. Roxie Rae was too overcome to make a sound or even look down.
Her body lifted and white flat platform collected her laying her flat. A being standing near her feet pointed at her stilettos and made a noise. The others responded and he pulled them. They came right off with no struggle. Roxie Rae wiggled her freed bare feet and once again the being made their strange noises to each other. A thin cord came from under the table surface that one of the being grabbed onto. He held it over Roxie as it began squirt a clear fluid on her body. The fluid was squirted on her entire body and of course she squirmed on the sensation. Roxie Rae could see herself on a screen on the other side of the room from an overhead view as well as several other angles. A lavender colored light shined on her body. Her body was showing on the screen in grades of color from blue to red. The beings observed the colors showing on the screen pointing at the different part of her body that were showing as red. A thin white sheet was place on her body and vacuum sealed down tightly. Her face was not covered by the sheet but a device was place on either side of her head.
The beings pointed at her feet making noises. One of them used a small tool and cut the wrap off her feet. She could not see them doing this but could feel her feet free from the tight hold. Each side of the device at her head glowed a dim red, it was warm. The beings, now at her feet studied them. Measurements were taken of both feet and a bright perfect white light shined on them. She tried to stay calm knowing something was going to happen. The beings carefully wiped and dried each foot as two more beings approached with a suspicious device for each foot. Roxie Rae's eyes widened as she felt an itching tingle on the sole of each foot. Roxie Rae began to squeal! The beings seemed to be enjoying this reaction. Long scraping feelings tickled the curves of her arches. The beings each had a curved instrument that dragged on her soles.
The instrument was sharply studded on the curved surface passing over her sensitive soles. Her beautiful petite feet tried to wiggle free of the instruments but there was no luck escaping this tickling. Her soft little soles stretched and wrinkled in the ticklish torment. The studs on the devices came to dull points similar to the ends on a comb. Roxie Rae could feel something pushing between her toes. They were long studded cords between each toe. Eight long cords began flossing between her toes in long back and forth sweeps. Roxie howled loudly trying to pull herself free from the sheet restraint with absolutely no luck. Her toes splayed and scrunched as the cords flossed back and forth at different angles. Something cold was dripping on her toes. It was allowed the cords to slide through her toes faster and cooled the surface. Roxie Rae was in hysterics!
The beings appeared to be very happy to see such reactions from Roxie Rae. They sounded back and forth to each other even more as the laughter continued. Roxie Rae's arms were sealed above her head. Her muscles were too tired from trying to pull her self free with not a bit of hope. The beings sounded to each other and the tickling stopped.
A being approached Roxie Rae at her side. She looked up at it. It's deep dark evil eyes looked back at her and then down her body. One of them pointed at the screen, it motioned to the one standing at Roxie Rae. It lifted the small tool from earlier and began to cut the thin layer of film covering her stomach area. Roxie Rae began panting as her slender stomach became revealed. The light at her feet moved up to the new exposed area. More beings approached. She could see them wiping down her stomach now. She knew what was going to happen again.
Carefully her stomach was measured. The belly button was measured. The lengths of each rib. Vertical length. Ribcage width. A clear gel was dispensed and spread over the entire abdominal area. One of the beings raised a hand-held instrument which glowed red on the end of it. This heat gun was held over Roxie Rae's panting stomach and moved around slowly. She could feel this heat soaking into her skin. The heat gun was taken away. It was time.
A being stood on either side on her stomach. Roxie Rae looked them in their mercy when she felt a force pushing on the center of her back. This force was arching her back making the ribs protrude outward. The red lights on either side of her head lit up and she was suddenly feeling the tickles again. The pair of beings began raking her ribs. Their hands were oddly shaped with hook like fingers. Each fingertip came to a small point.
Roxie Rae exploded in laughter trying to fight her restraints. The being kept to their task raking lines on her ribs. They dragged their fingers in line with her ribs and then changed it up going across bumps of her ribs. Gradually their fingers moved down clawing at her soft stomach. Roxie Rae was dizzy with hysterical laughter as the being dug into the hollow of her stomach. There was not much she could do to stop this torture. Sometimes the finger would claw lower near belly button. Sometimes they would move higher catching the edges of her ribcage. Roxie Rae panted and screamed enduring this tickle torture. A finger was placed by a being her belly button wiggling circles in it. They watched her bursting in uncontrollable heaving laughter.
The being placed themselves in a way where one hand itched and scratched her belly as the other hands raked up her soles. Roxie Rae screamed her mercy as the tickling insanity consumed her. She was losing her mind. Their slender claw playfully itched on her arches. The other claws wiggled hard on her ribs. The sensations were too much. Roxie Rae was losing herself into the beginning of a building orgasm. Her laughter turned to moans but the being would not let up driving her toward a powerful consuming orgasm. She could feel herself swelling and throbbing, her juices flowing as the orgasm captured her.
Covered in sweat and soaked in her own juices Roxie Rae went limp. The beings were satisfied with their certain intentions. Looking at each other making those indiscernible noises, the spot light shut off. Roxie Rae's face was cover with a moist clothe and her world went dark…
Roxie Rae woke in her car dressed just as she was before the abduction. Disoriented she came to. She looked around and found her phone was several missed calls. It was 10:10pm. She went outside to check the car and the tire was fine. This left her very confused. Did she dream this? Did that really happen? Most importantly, should she tell anybody. For now, it's staying her secret…

Large numbers of Chinese troops have been sent to Tibet as its government, in essence, acknowledges the existence of widespread opposition on the part of people in Tibet to the continued presence of Chinese in their nation. Tourists and journalists are not being allowed into most areas of Tibet. Thousands of paramilitary troops abord at least 80 trucks were seen traveling along the main road winding through the mountains into southeastern Tibet. Others set up camps and patrolled streets in riot gear helmets and rifles in the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Further north, the town of Zhongdian was being guarded by soldiers who were prepared to use tear gas on any protest group.
The last remaining foreign journalists in Lhasa, Georg Lume of Germany and Kristin Kupfer of Austria were forced to leave in order to impose a blackout on news to the outside world. An offical with the exiled Tibetan government estimates at least 99 are dead and hundreds wounded. The Dalai Lama has publicly offered to meet with Chinese officials in order to work out a peaceful resolution of the situation.
Chinese televison is showing scenes of wild protests and burning on the part of Tibetans but there are no video clips about actions of Chinese troops to quell the riots.

It appeared as if Lindsay Lohan's hard partying ways were becoming a thing of the past. Tuesday night sightings of the starlet show that she may be going down the wrong path once again.
Reporters were waiting outside to see what type of celebrities would step out of The Roosevelt Hotel. There is always a guarantee that someone of note will make their way out of the hotel's famed Teddy's nightclub. On Tuesday night, they spotted Lindsay Lohan leaving the hotel with "Jackass" star Steve-O, a notoriously un-sober fellow, reports TMZ.
Another day, another celebrity caught strippin' down outdoors. Sienna Miller is the latest victim, as she has been photographed sunbathing topless.
Online photographs have surfaced of Miller on a Mexican beach with her new love, model Jamie Burke.
Miller, the former flame of British actor Jude Law was seen with Burke on an isolated Mexican beach on February 19th, confirming rumors that they are an item.
Desperate Housewife, Marcia Cross, has given birth to twin daughters, reports her publicist.
Access Hollywood has reported that the fraternal twins, Eden and Savannah, are the first children for the actress and her husband, stockbroker Tom Mahoney. The couple has been married since June of 2006 and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of these babies. Marcia actually was considering adoption not too long ago.
Actress Carmen Electra and rock star Dave Navarro have officially divorced. The legally recognized divorce comes seven months after the two separated because of "irreconcilable differences".
According to E!, Electra filed for divorce on August 10, 2006, citing the always ambiguous 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the breakup. The filing came a little less than a month after the two announced that they had "amicably separated," and just a day after it was reported that her rocker husband was dating porn star Jenna Jameson.
While David Beckham has been struggling to find a spot to call home, his wife, Victoria, has been weaseling her way into being named fashion designer for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' Oscar ensembles.
A newbie to the fashion design business, but well-connected, Victoria Beckham convinced the couple that she was the perfect person to pick their outfits for the prestigious awards ceremony set to take place on Sunday February 25th.
Film stars Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are on couple alert status, even though the two have denied these rumors.
The 'You, Me and Dupree' co-stars were spotted at the Gold Coast's Palazzo Versace hotel in Australia over Valentine's Day weekend.
According to Life Style Extra, the two were seen riding bicycles in Southport and attended a pre-screening of Kate's film 'Fool's Gold' at the Pacific Fair cinema. Kate is currently staying 'Down Under', filming the movie with Matthew McConaughey, who reportedly is a good pal of Owen Wilson's.
Eminem and ex-Kim Mathers are not unfamiliar with public spats. Until recently, it seemed as if the two had decided to keep their matters private. That has all changed ever since Akon falsely announced that the two were engaged... for a third time.
Actress Bridget Moynahan is expecting a baby. Unfortunately, the timing is a bit amiss. It seems as if New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady is the father, even though the two have separated and are no longer a couple.
Moynahan, 36, dated the Brady, 29, for two years before ending the relationship in December. Now, the NY Post reports that the actress is more than three months into the pregnancy. This will be the first child for Moynahan and Brady.
Cameron Diaz is back from her Hawaiian vacation with surf pro Kelly Slater, and the actress was spotted out on the town on two separate occasions.
On Thursday February 15, Diaz was spotted getting close with Blood Diamond Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou at L.A.'s Hyde Lounge, according to People magazine.
"It looked like the perfect post-Valentine's Day date," a clubgoer said of the pair, who reportedly were with several other friends.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have been constant companions of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes lately, with most believing that it has everything to do with Scientology.
According to Bosh, the star couples have been spotted together on numerous occasions, including Super Bowl weekend. During the affairs, Tom and Katie were seen dancing backstage at one of Jennifer and Marc's performances.
The common connection between the couples... Scientology. J Lo and Marc are learning more about Scientology after spending time at the organization's Celebrity Center in Hollywood.

theresach Review
I wanted to wait until I had this machine for at least a month before I wrote a review. This machine has not disappointed! First off, it looks great sitting on my new quartz countertop. I was looking for a compact coffee maker that wouldn't take up too much space. This machine has a very small footprint. The color is outstanding. I got the blue, and it really pops in my kitchen. This thing pumps out great coffee in a small amount of time. I love the reusable filter. No more fumbling around in the drawer for a paper filter. There are only 3 pieces to clean, which is also a wonderful convenience. I can't say enough great things about this coffee maker. When I'm ready to move up to a bigger machine, I am definitely going to purchase the 10 cup. One more plus...I used a coupon and paid less than $100 for it here on Overstock. That is by far less than I've seen it on any other site! Totally worth it and then some! The only thing that I wish it had was an automatic shut off feature (that is only available on the 10 cup machine). That's not a big deal for me though since I am the only person in the house who drinks coffee, and I just turn off the machine after I've poured a (large) cup. So I still give this machine 5 stars. Thought I would mention it though if that is something that you're looking for. That would make this machine 100% perfect!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great Quality

University of Michigan Law School, J.D., cum laude, 1995
Mills College, B.A., 1992
Attorney List
Rachael Meny has extensive experience handling trade secret and employee mobility disputes, complex civil litigations and white collar criminal matters. She has successfully represented companies, venture funds and partnerships, and individuals in litigation regarding trade secrets/employee mobility, securities fraud, mortgage fraud, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of contract claims, Business and Professions Code Section 17200, unfair business practices, antitrust and intellectual property matters.
Ms. Meny has extensive experience representing technology companies, other companies and executives throughout the U.S. in pre-litigation and litigation disputes regarding trade secrets, employee mobility and non-competition matters. Ms. Meny litigates such matters in state and federal courts, but also frequently provides counseling and advice on pre-litigation disputes that allows such matters to be successfully resolved before litigation.
Ms. Meny has also represented individuals in numerous internal corporate investigations, and governmental agency investigations involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice.
Cobarruviaz, et al. v. Instacart: We defeated a putative class action filed against a leading on-demand technology company, Instacart, which connects customers with personal shoppers for grocery shopping and home delivery. The class action addressed an issue critical to the new "sharing economy": whether personal shoppers who use Instacart's technology platform were properly considered independent contractors rather than employees. The court issued its order dismissing the class action claims on November 3, 2015.
Cotter, et al. v. Lyft, Inc.: We represent technology company Lyft, which connects individuals in need of a ride to drivers willing to transport them. This putative class action addresses an issue critical to the new economy: whether Lyft drivers have been misclassified as independent contractors rather than employees. In summer 2016, the parties entered into a proposed settlement that does not require the re-classification of Lyft drivers as employees. The court preliminarily approved the settlement in June 2016. The Fairness Hearing is scheduled for December.
Former Employee v. Netflix, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc.: We defended Netflix and several of its senior executives from a high-profile defamation and blacklisting lawsuit. The plaintiff departed Netflix for Amazon, and later claimed that Netflix retaliated against him by making defamatory statements about him, wrongfully accusing him of taking confidential information, and inducing Amazon to fire him. We filed an early special motion to strike plaintiff's complaint against the Netflix defendants pursuant to California's anti-SLAPP statute, explaining why the plaintiff's claims against the Netflix defendants were entirely premised on protected and privileged speech and did not establish a viable claim. The court granted our anti-SLAPP motion in its entirety, dismissing all of the plaintiff's claims against the Netflix defendants only 5 ½ months after the complaint was filed.
Suffolk Technologies LLC v. AOL Inc. and Google Inc.: A Virginia federal judge granted our motion for summary judgment on all but one of Suffolk's patent infringement claims, and issued a Daubert ruling striking the plaintiff's expert damages opinion in its entirety. Soon after, Suffolk stipulated to invalidity on the last remaining claim. Suffolk had claimed that Google's Adsense advertising placement technology, which selectively places paid advertisements for a company's product or service on the Web page of another, used a similar protocol to the one under patent with Suffolk.
Taxi Company v. Ride-Sharing Company: We defended a popular ride-sharing company in this unfair competition case. Prior to the hearing on the first motion, we convinced the plaintiffs to dismiss our client from the complaint.
Microsoft Corporation v. Google Inc.: We defended Google in numerous state and federal court actions alleging trade secret misappropriation. The litigation began when our client left Microsoft Corporation to head Google's China operations. We litigated the case through the preliminary injunction stage and resolved it on favorable terms.
Plaintiff v. Investment Funds: We achieved an early resolution of numerous state and federal court actions for a venture fund company and one of its partners. Our clients faced trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, and breach of contract claims in both state court and in federal court. We were able to remove the state court action to federal court, and then secure an early settlement for our clients.
Plaintiffs v. Real Estate Investors: We defended certain real estate investors against alter ego claims, in both state and federal court. These alter ego claims were brought in an effort to hold our clients personally liable for a $7.5 million judgment against their company and to pierce the corporate veil protecting our client's real estate investment firm. Following a multi-week bench trial, the court entered judgment for our clients and awarded them attorneys' fees.
Plaintiffs v. Automobile Manufacturers: We defended automakers in multi-forum, antitrust litigation involving restrictions on car exports in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Plaintiffs, alleging a broad conspiracy among all major automobile manufacturers and distributors, sought damages of more than $1 billion. We won summary judgment in the lead federal litigation, in several state cases, and in the California state court class action. We also achieved early dismissal of numerous state court actions.
Private School System v. Northern California County: We defended a California county and certain of its Supervisors against claims that its land use decision regarding a Christian school violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and aspects of the US Constitution. After a multi-week trial in federal court, a jury resolved the case in our client's favor, denying the school system's request for tens of millions in damages. The plaintiff appealed, but withdrew their appeal after receiving our appellate brief.
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Telecommunications Company: On behalf of a special committee of our client's board of directors, we conducted an international investigation into alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA.) We made a determination as to whether any FCPA violations occurred and handled the resolution of related governmental investigations and claims.
Henderson v. Petersen et al: We represented a prisoner in a civil rights suit against three correctional officers who beat him in Pelican Bay State Prison and one officer who failed to intervene to stop the beating. After the plaintiff's case survived summary judgment, the federal court asked us to step in and represent him at trial. Following a five-day trial and five hours of jury deliberation, the defendants settled the case for nearly twice the number the plaintiff presented to the jury.
Ms. Anderson and Ms. Meny represent the who's who of San Francisco Bay Area technology companies.
With cutting-edge clients like Lyft Inc., Google Inc. and Netflix Inc., much of Meny's work focuses on how traditional employment agreements and job classifications apply to 21st century businesses.
The awards recognize California litigation practices that delivered exceptional results on their clients' most critical and challenging matters.
Rachael Meny, Jamie Slaughter and their team removed a major threat to Lyft's business model when they settled a proposed class action lawsuit without classifying drivers as employees.
A California federal court crushed a proposed labor class action against smartphone-based grocery delivery service Instacart by ordering workers to individually arbitrate their claims.
Ms. Meny handles ground-breaking litigation for Lyft, Inc., Netflix, Google and Instacart.
Keker & Van Nest's sterling work on a slew of legal issues facing undocumented immigrants and major win to halt preemptive environmental litigation by Shell Gulf Oil of Mexico Inc., secured its place among Law360's Pro Bono Firms of 2015.
Less than 40 law firm litigators from throughout California were chosen. Winners were selected for handling—and often solving—the most crucial problems tech companies face.
Ms. Meny's cases involve high-stakes employee non-compete agreements and trade secret theft issues.
Lyft has hired Keker & Van Nest Partners Rachael Meny and Jamie Slaughter to bolster its legal team, as it battles misclassification suits.
With a federal judge declaring earlier this month that a jury should decide whether Lyft has been misclassifying drivers as contractors under California state law, the company has beefed up its defense team.
Rachael Meny and Jennifer Huber provide guidance on which prevention strategies and potential defenses businesses can use against privacy class actions.
Justina Sessions, Steve Hirsch and Rachael Meny win a key victory for a dozen environmental groups working to protect the arctic.
Rachael Meny will discuss how to protect trade secrets, guard against employee raids, recruit from competitors without getting sued, and deal with the important issues that arise when employees leave to compete with their former employers.
Ms. Meny and Ms. Sessions' panel will focus on women in tech law, and being a female litigator.
Rachael Meny will present "What Makes a Good Case?" at this conference, which covers the latest developments in the law of federal and California class actions as well as procedural advice from leaders in the field.

Graying duo keep passenger in check
By Kevin Cullen, Globe Staff | June 5, 2007
Shortly before landing, Bob Hayden and a flight attendant had agreed on a signal: When she waved the plastic handcuffs, he would discreetly leave his seat and restrain an unruly passenger who had frightened some of the 150 people on board a Minneapolis-to-Boston flight Saturday night with erratic behavior.Hayden, a 65-year-old former police commander, had enlisted a gray-haired gentleman sitting next to him to assist. The man turned out to be a former US Marine.
"I had looked around the plane for help, and all the younger guys had averted their eyes. When I asked the guy next to me if he was up to it, all he said was, 'Retired captain. USMC.' I said, 'You'll do,' " Hayden recalled. "So, basically, a couple of grandfathers took care of the situation."
The incident on Northwest Airlines Flight 720 ended peacefully, but not before Hayden, a former Boston police deputy superintendent and former Lawrence police chief, and the retired Marine had handcuffed one man and stood guard over another until the plane touched down safely at Logan International Airport around 7:50 p.m.
State Police troopers escorted two men off the flight. Trooper Thomas Murphy, a State Police spokesman, said one of the men was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital for "an unspecified medical issue, possibly mental health."
He said State Police detectives will investigate whether the man's behavior should be treated as a medical or criminal matter. A second man escorted off the plane identified himself as the unruly passenger's brother. Murphy said police would not release the names of the men, who Hayden said appeared to be in their 30s or 40s.
Dean Breest, a spokesman for Northwest, confirmed that "there was an incident that required State Police to come on board the aircraft" but declined further comment.
Hayden said the unruly man's behavior upset some passengers. One told Hayden the man had said, "Your lives are going to change today forever," as he shouted and refused to take his seat before takeoff and at various times during the nearly three-hour flight. He said that at one point the man lay on his back and was screaming, moaning, and thrashing on the floor.
"Some people were crying," Hayden said. "I thought it might be a diversion. I kept scanning the back of the plane to see if anyone was going to rush forward. The flight attendants did a great job, literally surrounding the two guys who were making all the noise. I told one of the flight attendants I was a retired police officer and would be willing to assist, so we agreed on a signal."
When the captain announced preparations for landing, the man jumped up shouting, the flight attendant held up the handcuffs, and Hayden and the Marine came bounding down the aisle. Hayden said he and the retired Marine, whose name he never got, received an ovation from fellow passengers, and "some free air miles."
Hayden's wife of 42 years, Katie, who was also on the flight, was less impressed. Even as her husband struggled with the agitated passenger, she barely looked up from "The Richest Man in Babylon," the book she was reading.
"The woman sitting in front of us was very upset and asked me how I could just sit there reading," Katie Hayden said. "Bob's been shot at. He's been stabbed. He's taken knives away. He knows how to handle those situations. I figured he would go up there and step on somebody's neck, and that would be the end of it. I knew how that situation would end. I didn't know how the book would end."
Thanks for sharing that one, 0.02.
"We're paratroopers. We're supposed to be surrounded!" Dick Winters
I love the wifes comment at the end. That in and of itself was worth the read.
Kudos to Mr. Hayden and the USMC Ret.

Great read ......... age may slow an ex cop or a marine (sometimes) but it sure doesn't lose them their skills.

The first time the idiot acted like an idiot I would have been all over him. He could then sit next to me the rest of the flight and he had better not so much as twitch. I tend to get testy with as much as I fly. I don't need anyone screwing up my schedule.
Love the wife's comments.

For all the .380 haters out there keep in mind that it makes 230ft lbs of muzzle energy. Thats more then the cap & ball revolver that wild bill hickock used and i believe he stopped many men with that!
"Anyone worth shooting, is probably worth shooting several times."
"Anyone worth shooting, is probably worth shooting several times."
.45 out instead of the p3at. Not looking for a tack driver, though it is plenty accurate. Snappy but accurate. I just want something I can trust, and currently the p3at is not someting I trust. I am still working on it so hopefully I can get the bugs out. But for what I paid for it, should there be that many bugs? If I cannot fix it I'll send it back to KT, at least there CS is good. This is my experience, YMMV. As far as the round, it's better than nothing. I started off with .45, switched to 9mm to lessen recoil, bought the .380 for my wife and when I cannot carry fullsize. I'd trust the round if I could get the gun straightened out.
Pistols like the Kahr PM9 have rendered the .380 virtually obsolete.
1. Virtually no difference in size and weight
2. 9mm ammo costs considerably less than .380, and is far more readily available
3. The blowback operating system of many .380's often produces greater recoil than a recoil operated 9mm
4. Superior stopping power of the 9mm cartridge
As Massad Ayoob has pointed out, with the noticeable increase in crime rates and terrorism in Europe in the 1960's, police forces there realized they needed more powerful handguns than the .380.
The 9mm is now the standard for European law enforcement agencies.
Is the pocket .380 the end all be all to CC guns? No. But it does have a nice niche that's hard to fill even out of the pocket 9s.
And while this thread is more about caliber than the LCP, I probably wouldn't buy an LCP, but not due to the caliber. I would stick with a Sig 238, 232, more modern Colt .380s, or the Beretta Cheetah if I wanted another .380. If the Beretta Cheetah was a little less edgy I'd actually carry the double stack version as primary with no hesitation what so ever.
At one point in time I posted on this forum that I could never carry a .380, well in my case never came along pretty quick when I needed a small carry gun to carry at work where a larger gun just wouldn't work.
What people need to remember is that there are different makes and models, and pending on what you get, you can have plenty of different experiences and based on mine with some of the pocket 9s, 40s, and even the polymer .380s, I'll stick with my steel framed .380 mouse guns when I need something smaller than my 1911, XDM, P7, or something thinner than my .357Mag J-Frame.
Many police departments even regulate what firearms their officers can carry OFF duty, and as internationally recognized law enforcement handgun authority Massad Ayoob (a career LEO himself) has documented, many departments will NOT allow their officers to carry a .380 (or smaller) even when they're OFF duty---because of the .380's notorious inability to stop perpetrators.
According to statistics compiled from police records throughout the nation, .380's only stop assailants about 63% of the time, whereas the .40 S&W that is the most commonly used LE cartridge today, has a 93% stop success rate.
.380's are for people who aren't interested in a self-defense firearm that will reliably stop attackers.
Disinterest, eh? Or, perhaps there are those who must manage situations where one cannot bring a larger weapon. Almost certainly without exception, everyone's interested, but circumstances don't always allow preference to outweigh necessity.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, I still can't find anyone willing to go down range and let me shoot at them. ( I know that's lame, but it's the first time I've ever used that argument and in all honesty, it's crap, but still true)
I'm not arguing that the .380 is better than a 9 or .40, but it's not exactly a poke in the eye either.Sure, whatever you say..380's are for people who aren't interested in a self-defense firearm that will reliably stop attackers.
And while some depts that regulate off duty carry may not allow a .380, there are some that do allow it, and others that don't regulate off duty carry and off duty officers DO carry .380s.
I've met under cover officers and off duty cops that carry .22s all the way up to 10mm. Using a percentage of a percentage doesn't make it true for all.

Dietary guidelines say you need at least 3 servings of whole grains each day. But if you don't know barley from bulgur, here's a guide to versatile grains, from amaranth to wheat berries.
Whole grains are one of the best ways to fill your plate and your belly in a healthy fashion. From bulgur to rye, whole grains are packed with nutrients and can add texture and nuttiness to any dish. However, if your starch IQ is lacking and you find yourself turning to pasta and potatoes far too often, a lesson in grains is much overdue. While you may know that grains are part of a nutritious diet, how much do you actually know about them? Our comprehensive guide answers all your grain-related questions, and more. Whether you're cooking with wheat, spelt, or quinoa (it's gluten-free!), our simple recipes will show you just how easy it is to incorporate more grains into your diet.
How to Buy and Store Grains
In the past, health or natural foods stores were often the only places to find the more exotic whole grains, but now you can find many of them at the supermarket. Arrowhead Mills and Bob's Red Mill are two commonly available brands. Grains—especially whole ones—have oils that eventually turn rancid. Shop at stores where the turnover seems high, and buy only what you plan to use within a few months. If you have space, it's best to refrigerate grains, but you still can't keep them forever. You can tell if they've lost their freshness by their smell—old grains, including flours, will have a stale odor.
Amaranth [AM-ah-ranth] was a principle food of the Aztecs. It has a slightly peppery, molasses-like flavor with a faint nuttiness. The grains (or seeds) are tiny, shiny, and can be yellow and black. They're so small that they seem almost lost when served alone as a side dish. Instead, toast the seeds like you would popcorn and enjoy as a crunchy snack or as a topper for salads. Cooked amaranth takes on a slightly gummy texture like okra and is good as a thickener in soups. Try amaranth flour, along with wheat berries, in Wheat Berry Bread.
Barley is best known as an ingredient in beer and soup. Creamy and possessing a fairly neutral flavor when cooked, pearl barley is easy to serve in place of rice; because it's so starchy, pearl barley can be treated just like Arborio rice for risotto. Whole barley, with its protective layer of bran intact, plumps nicely when cooked. Barley flour, when toasted, has a strong nutty flavor; try adding it to breads. A great source of fiber, 1/2 cup of pearl barley offers more than 12 grams.
Beef, Beer, and Barley Stew
You can use barley groats rather than pearl barley in this stew to give the dish a little more texture. Substitute rutabagas, parsnips, or other root vegetables of your choice for the carrots and turnips.
Bulgur is familiar to many of us through the Middle Eastern dishes tabbouleh and kibbeh. Bulgur is wheat that has been steamed whole, dried, then cracked. So bulgur is essentially precooked and quick to prepare. It comes in three grinds—fine (#1), medium (#2), and coarse (#3). Fine and medium bulgurs are used for tabbouleh, and the coarse is good in pilafs. Bulgur, especially fine bulgur, needs only to be soaked to become tender, but it can also be cooked pilaf-style. You can find bulgur at most natural foods stores.

Bulgur and Lamb Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
Refrigerating the meat mixture makes it easier to handle and helps the meatballs hold their shape. You can use fine or medium bulgur in this recipe. Serve with rice.
Grano [gra-NO] is probably unfamiliar to most Americans, since it's a new product in the United States. Grano (Italian for "grain") is essentially polished durum wheat (a variety of wheat used to make pasta), and most reminiscent of barley. It has a golden hue and an appealing chewiness when cooked. Because the bran has been removed, the starch is more accessible, which means you can cook grano as you would Arborio rice for risotto. Or you can simmer it without stirring, which leaves the grains intact. It provides a nice combination of texture and neutral flavor. Use grano in soups, stews, salads, and other dishes in which you might use a small pasta such as orzo. Grano has yet to appear on major supermarket shelves, but you may be able to find it at health-food stores or Italian markets.
Grano with Mushrooms and Greens
Grano has a flavor similar to pasta and lends itself to a myriad of uses. Here, we simmer it in white wine, stock, and veggies in a similar manner as pilaf. The result is an aromatic, savory side that pairs perfectly with proteins such as roasted chicken or pork tenderloin. You can substitute pearled barley for grano if needed.
Kamut and Spelt
Kamut [kah-MOOT] is a primitive high-protein variety of wheat and takes its name from the ancient Egyptian word for wheat. Kamut berries are about twice the size of, but similar in flavor and texture to, wheat berries. Substitute kamut for wheat berries, and buy kamut flour to use in place of or alongside wheat flour. Spelt is another primitive form of wheat similar to kamut. Both kamut and spelt contain a more digestible form of gluten than that found in wheat, so people who are normally intolerant are often able to eat these grains.
Oats are most widely available in rolled form. Steel-cut oats are cracked whole grain oats; when cooked, they are chewy. You may also see Irish oatmeal, oat groats, and whole grain oats, all of which have varying cook times. A good source of fiber, 1/2 cup of steel-cut oats has 7.5 grams.
Quinoa [KEEN-wah] is a great alternative to rice because of its lightness, mild flavor, and pleasing crunch. A good source of protein and fiber, 1/2 cup of quinoa has 14 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber. Try it for breakfast with maple syrup and milk, add it to pancake and muffin batter, or mix it with potatoes for croquettes. The tiny beige-colored seeds, about the size of pellets of couscous, cook in about 20 minutes. Give quinoa a good rinse before cooking; otherwise, the grains can be bitter.

Rye is most commonly seen as flour. Also available are whole rye berries, which are green and work nicely in salads. Rye berries are a lot like wheat berries, kamut berries, and other whole grains—chewy and neutral in flavor, they hold their shape when cooked. Like wheat berries, they can be added to breads. Rye is now often available rolled as well. Rolled rye cooks quickly and makes tasty breakfast cereals. Rye ferments easily, so it's not surprising that it's used to make whiskey.
Rye Berry Salad with Orange Vinaigrette
Make this salad with any whole grain, including wheat berries or barley. Vary the chopped vegetables too, if you like. But don't change one iota of the simply luscious vinaigrette made with orange juice and champagne vinegar; it makes this salad burst with flavor.
Wheat is the world's largest cereal grass crop, with its thousands of varieties. Wheat berries are simply whole grain wheat. They are big, chewy, and take about an hour to cook. Once cooked, they can go in salads, soups, and in mixed-grain dishes. They are also great kneaded into bread, providing welcome texture. Wheat bran, the exterior layer of the grain, is rich in fiber.
Wheat Berry Bread
This Wheat Berry Bread makes a hearty sandwich bread. Cooked wheat berries add texture, and the wheat bran gives the surface a nice rustic finish. The recipe makes two loaves, so you can freeze one for later.

Audio Upgrade
I've recently been looking up information on upgrading the audio quality (not loudness) of the BMW e46.
I did come across BSW audio solutions but it appears heavily marketted and fishy like they are not the best solution for my money.
Could someone please direct me to an easy to follow guide on improving the sound in my e46 330ci. I find it very overwhelming when everyone complains about BSW ease of install then doesn't provide guides to better solutions.
Again.. I value audio quality over how loud the system can play. My budget is around $1000 give or take a few hundred.

You can always upgrade your speakers and headunit, but to get the most out of them, you need a good installer. He will tune your head unit so your stereo will sound 10000x better than stock BMW audio system. I have a pioneer p99rs in my car, and it sounds amazing, but the HU itself will run you about $1000 new (i got mine used). The headunit will not sound that great if left untuned. It has the automatic tuning capabilities with that small microphone though. But you still need to make adjustments to your amp. Alpine HUs are not as good as they used to be, unless you use the pax and rux. But dont go there unless youre ready to splash out around $3000 total. My suggestion is, go to the BSW website and get their speaker upgrade. Should sound better than stock. If you want more, you can get a HU with Built-in tuning capabilities (time correction, equalizer etc) and get someone who's experienced in audio tuning to tune the system for you. You can go passive but the tuning is not easy too. It all depends on the person installing the system.
Do you have the harman kardon audio system in your car? The HK system is not bad really. The stock non-HK system is rubbish. Utter rubbish. My honda fit sound system sounds much better.

This thing has been on and off again so much over the past year with everyone wanting to do the show except for Victoria. Now though, even she has agreed. The closing ceremonies will also have performances from George Michael and The Who. That is quite the combination. Oh, and Take That will also reunite one last time too. It is not like any of the members will actually do any real singing so I don't see what the holdup was. I think Victoria would just like to pretend that part of her life never existed.
