If you like cheese like we like cheese – and, man, we really like cheese – there's no better place to get your goat (or sheep or cow) than Antonelli's, an artisan shop like no other in the ATX. The staff is devoted and expert, and their selection of delights – from the French Ossau-Iraty, an Old World semi-soft that is smoothly pungent, to a Wisconsin cheddar so nutty and fruity it'll blow your mind and your taste buds – is beyond compare. Come in for a taste – or two, or three – and leave with the knowledge that you'll be back, and soon (how else could you possibly build the perfect cheese board?).

Already famous as a luxurious land of never-ending meat, riverside dining, and leisurely hammocks, it's basically inevitable that the Salt Lick will one day rebrand itself as a barbecue-themed amusement park. To help the proprietors along in that process, here are a few suggestions for their new and improved name: Ribsland. Universal Sausages. Six Servings of Brisket Over Texas. Turkeyworld. Hammock Gardens. Barbecue Kingdom. Schlitterbeef.

The now world-famous barbecue mecca is open from 11am until they're sold out, so Franklin groupies know to line up as early as 7am to call dibs on their legendary brisket, turkey, and sausage – the stuff of carnivore dreams. Frequenters bring their lawn chairs and a Settlers of Catan board to pass the time – but boy, is it worth the wait! When it comes to flavor, quality, and consistency, Aaron Franklin is king.

Breakfast for dinner is our favorite. Especially while drinking bottomless cups of coffee and debating whether or not the objects on the walls of Kerbey Lane Cafe are art (which we totally think that they are). This throwback to home-cooked comfort makes us feel like we're in an episode of Happy Days. Did we mention that Kerbey Lane's Frisbee-sized pancakes are the bee's knees (and that they offer gluten-free and vegan options, too)? And the omelets are the cat's pajamas?

No matter what your dietary proclivities, Tacodeli has the breakfast taco for you. Maybe you're gluten-free. No worries: The Vaquero (scrambled eggs, grilled corn, poblanos, and cheese) on corn is your huckleberry. Maybe you like to keep it weird? Try a taco with the 'deli's signature mashed papas. Or kick it old-school with a straight-up bacon, egg, and cheese or a plump migas taco. See? Told ya there was something for everyone.

There's a reason the line is always out the door. From the local brews on tap to the impossibly rich shakes, Hopdoddy is sure to deliver a satisfying dining experience. But it's their two staples – burgers and fries – that truly shine. Tuna and veggie burgers keep the non-carnivores content, while the Classic is guaranteed hormone-free Angus beef on a fluffy house-baked bun, and it's earned its title. Perfect plain or all done up – from the Terlingua's chile con carne and Fritos to the Magic Shroom's goat cheese and pesto – these burgers' best friend is a heaping order of those perfectly golden and slightly herbed Kennebec fries. We're not sure what the secret ingredient is, but we're positive of one thing: It's the stuff dreams are made of.

Whether it is the first date or the 50th, sharing a lovely (reasonably priced) meal at a homegrown eatery reminiscent of a European bistro is special. Casual but refined, the two Blue Dahlia locations offer a commitment to green practices, local and organic sources, and friendly service on top of delicious French-inspired dishes. Their various tartines, dinner specials, breakfast treats such as blueberry blintzes, and of course, wine, will surely make you swoon.

The most dangerous moment when dining at Chuy's is the one in which the chips and salsa land on the table. In that moment, diners must reckon with not one or two, but three dips from which to choose – the chunky tomato salsa, the smooth salsa verde, or the evil temptress known as the jalapeno ranch. From there, diners risk ruining their dinner by gorging on the bottomless, house-fried triangular carbohydrates, but who's complaining?

Austin's coffee scene is a buzzin' thanks to Texan roasters like Cuvée and Tweed – both of whom supply Houndstooth with their addictive beans. Devotees of this nectar of the gods and our readers agree that the baristas at both locations (a second shop opened Downtown earlier this year) pour out the tastiest brews and most gorgeous rosettas in the city.

While the flavors are ever-changing, at least one thing remains the same: As an application, potential employees are given a white paper bag to take home and bring back decorated. Jobs are given to creative and optimistic scoopers full of vim and vigor, and we think that performative oomph makes the cow-cream taste better.

Owned and operated by husband and wife duo Todd Duplechan and Jessica Maher, Lenoir is the perfect place to stare into your lover's eyes over a three-course prix fixe menu. Designed by Chris McCray, using repurposed and recycled materials, Lenoir invites you to unwind al fresco under the twinkling lights of the wine garden or nestle into the cozy dining room with a plate of local and seasonal cuisine. Either way you will bask in whimsy while enjoying offerings aptly christened "field," "land," "sea," and "dream."

This ultra hip joint is making ramen synonymous with soul food. Slurp their tasty broth and noodles to the rhythm of old school hip-hop and disco, or occasionally a Hall & Oates jam. There is a major rush during dinner, but don't let this pressure you to skip the numerous craft beers or ice cream mochi for dessert. And take a peek at the awesome bathroom decor – a dragon paper-towel dispenser? Heck yes!

Reward your taste buds with to-die-for creations like the Pok Pok Som (tamarind sipping vinegar) and the Son in Law (eggs with braised pork shoulder) that will make you sing with rapture.

The middle child has made quite a name for itself. Chef Tyson Cole's second venture after renowned sushi restaurant, Uchi, often still has a weeks-long reservation list, and Uchiko's stellar rep has helped make celebrity chef Paul Qui the star he is today. The ambience is modern elegance; razor-sharp servers skillfully present cuisine concepts that regularly blow up Instagram feeds. Japanese farmhouse food plus fresh sushi plus the sparkle of a beloved brand's redesigned creativity mean Uchiko will be a powerhouse for the foreseeable future.

Executive Chef Tyson Cole worked his way from Kyoto dishwasher to Mushashino apprentice, and now boasts a world-class sushi restaurant, a James Beard award, and a burgeoning empire. Uchi is in a class by itself: Fish is flown in daily, and an ever-changing menu gracefully fuses Japanese tradition with local and seasonal ingredients for brilliant pops of flavor. Beautiful staple items like Machi Cure (yellowtail, yucca crisp, Asian pear, marcona almond, and garlic brittle) and daily specials such as the Wagyu Nikomi (short rib, coconut, chile, and kaffir lime) make this restaurant fresh and legitimate. This is one of the finest dining experiences in town.

This taco joint is so devilishly good that we'll forgo our fried-food ban and take an antacid instead (avocados are supposed to be good for you, right?). If we're feeling frisky we'll order the Dirty Sanchez. If we've made too many "your mom" jokes, we'll grab the Trailer Park; there's a taco to fit almost all of our moods. What started as a food trailer off Bouldin Creek at South First has turned into one of the city's favorite chains, having opened its ninth location in Round Rock this year.

What began as a dream and a food trailer turned into a brick-and-mortar vegan comfort food reality. Featuring favorites like Pesto Rawviolis, a Tempeh Reuben, and brownie bites, Sue Davis' mission is good food made from scratch with meatless, gluten-free, raw, soy-free, and oil-free diets in mind. Counter Culture also serves sustainable craft beers and organic wine in addition to local, organic produce whenever possible. Community, character, and coffee are the headliners at Bouldin Creek Cafe and, in conjunction with a skilled barista staff, make this dog-friendly coffee shop and patio a lovely place to chill on South First. With dinner specials, local art, and plenty of treats, it's no wonder Bouldin Creek is a favorite.

Further field tests of the LLMPS (Lazy Lion Motivational Prod Stick) were suspended due to the abrupt disappearance of all field testers.Thanks for the challenge, pdevredis. ; )
Tee Hee!!
A man was walking a lion down the street when they were stopped by a police officer. The police officer said, "You should't be walking that lion down the street, You need to take him to the zoo." The man replies, "OK, I will.". The next day the same police officer sees the man out walking the lion again. The police officer said, "I thought I told you to take that lion to the zoo!" The man replies, "I did, and today I'm taking him to the movies!" (Thanks Raven Simons!)
Nobody bothers me!
After receiving his new Service Animal, Ralph never had any trouble getting a front seat on the bus.
Ralph finally found a pet that he could walk without having to carry pooper scooper bags. If anybody complained, Clarence would eat 'em.

Equitrans, L. P.
Original Volume No. 1
Contents / Previous / Next / Main Tariff Index
Effective Date: 05/16/2010, Docket: RP10-616-000, Status: Effective
First Revised Sheet No. 316 First Revised Sheet No. 316
Superseding: Second Substitute Original Sheet No. 316
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
41.1 Purpose. This Section provides for the recovery of Tennessee Gas Pipeline capacity
costs incurred by Equitrans through a Gas Transportation Agreement for use under
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Rate Schedule FT-A for the period October 1, 2008 through
August 31, 2010 (Transportation Agreement). The firm reservation charges associated
with Transportation Agreement (Capacity Costs) shall be recovered by means of this
surcharge tracker. The TCST rate shall be applicable to shippers on the Equitrans'
Big Sandy Pipeline under Rate Schedules FTS and ITS. The TCST rate will be
calculated in accordance with Section 41.4 below.
41.2 Capacity Utilization. Transportation Agreement provides for 82,000 Dth per day of
firm transportation service from Glancy Fork, the Equitrans Big Sandy interconnect
with Tennessee Gas Pipeline to Dry Creek, an interconnect on Tennessee Gas Pipeline
with Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation. The firm capacity on Tennessee for
delivery to Dry Creek is available to Big Sandy Shippers on a daily basis. Big
Sandy firm shippers have priority over interruptible shippers to nominate to Dry
Creek. In the event firm nominations to Dry Creek exceed the 82,000 Dth /day, the
Capacity will be allocated based on a percentage of total nominations received. If
Dry Creek capacity is available to Interruptible shippers and the nominations
exceed available capacity, interruptible capacity will be allocated based on a
percentage of total interruptible nominations received. Firm and Interruptible
shippers nominating gas to Dry Creek will be responsible for fuel and volumetric
charges assessed by Tennessee Gas Pipeline to transport gas to Dry Creek.
41.3 TCST Filings. Annually, or at such other times as Equitrans in its reasonable
discretion determines necessary, Equitrans may adjust the TCST rate to take into
account both prospective changes in Capacity Costs and unrecovered Capacity Costs
from the preceding period as described in Section 41.4 below. That adjustment
shall be effected by Equitrans' making a Capacity Cost Tracker filing with the
Commission annually on or before September 1 to become effective October 1 (Annual
TCST Filing).
Within 90 days prior to the expiration of the Gas Transportation Agreement under
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Rate Schedule FTA on August 31, 2010, Equitrans may make a
filing to compare projected total revenue collected under the Tennessee Surcharge
Tracker to the projected total costs incurred under the Tennessee Agreement and
adjust the TCST rates to ensure accurate recovery of the Tennessee capacity costs.
Equitrans will stop billing the TCST rates upon full recovery of all costs incurred
under the Tennessee Agreement.
41.4 Calculation of TCST Rate. In each Annual or Periodic filing, Equitrans shall
calculate the TCST Rate using the following methodology:
(a) Equitrans will estimate Capacity Costs for the prospective 12 months based
on the Equitrans Firm Transportation Agreement FT-A with Tennessee Gas
Pipeline ("Prospective Capacity Costs ").
(b) Equitrans will separately adjust the Prospective Capacity Costs upward or
downward if and to the extent that Equitrans under-recovered or over-
recovered Capacity Costs during the prior 12-month period. Equitrans will
determine the existence and amount of such under-recovery or over-recovery
by determining the TCST revenues received from Customers, during the prior
12 month period and subtracting the actual Capacity Costs incurred by
Equitrans during the prior 12-month period adjusted for any Tennessee
capacity release revenues collected by Equitrans under Transportation
Agreement during the prior 12-month period. Capacity release revenues will
be credited to Big Sandy Firm Shippers only through the TCST reservation
charge. The remaining over recovered or under recovered dollars, if any,
will be subtracted from or added to the Prospective Capacity Costs.

Temecula Presents Dance Series, 2010-11 season
City Ballet of Los Angeles, Oct. 22-23
BalletX, Jan. 21-22
Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, Feb. 11-12
ODC/Dance, April 29-30
When: All performances begin at 8 p.m.
Where: Old Town Temecula Community Theater, 42051 Main St., Temecula
Tickets: $15-$25
(866) 653-8696
Online: temeculatheater.org
An hour north of downtown San Diego off I-15, Temecula offers a taste of Old West history. A former Butterfield Stage stop, the city's Old Town is a several-block area of shops and restaurants in restored 19th- and early-20th-century buildings. And Temecula is a natural setting for annual bluegrass music and quilt festivals and Western Days.
Not everything in Temecula, however, looks toward the past. The Old Town Temecula Community Theater opened five years ago with a newly built 361-seat proscenium theater, and it presents cutting-edge dance from around the country.
Temecula Presents, the theater's booking arm, has featured some notable companies that have yet to make their San Diego debuts, like the Koresh Dance Company and the Trey McIntyre Project this past year. (La Jolla Music Society is bringing the McIntyre company here for the first time next April.)
For the just-announced 2010-11 season, Temecula's dance series includes three companies — City Ballet of Los Angeles, BalletX from Philadelphia and Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company from New York — none of which has appeared in San Diego. The series will end with San Francisco's acclaimed 39-year-old ODC/Dance, last seen here in 1990. Each show runs for two nights.
City Ballet and BalletX are both relative newcomers. The Los Angeles company was founded in 2000 by Robyn Gardenhire, who's danced with Karole Armitage, American Ballet Theatre and Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Project.
Pennsylvania Ballet veterans Christine Cox and Matthew Neenan launched BalletX in 2004. For Bruce Beers, who manages the theater and curates Temecula Presents, "It's another one of the many companies in the country that are terrific that no one knows about. I've been trying to get them here for two years."
Nai-Ni Chen's choreography for her 22-year-old modern dance company draws on her training in Chinese opera in her native Taiwan.
ODC is coming to Temecula as part of Innerstate, a program funded by the Irvine Foundation to enhance regional touring; the funding should make it possible for the company to do an extended residency.
The adventurous dance offerings reflect Beers' interest in contemporary ballet and modern dance and his reading of the potential audience.
"I could see something was going on in the community with all of the dance studios," says Beers, who started at the theater nine months before its October 2005 opening. "I think there are six large studios and plenty of others."
Nonetheless, contemporary dance seems a stretch from the rest of the theater's fare, which consists of classical, pop and big-band series from Temecula Presents, as well as productions by resident companies, like the Temecula Valley Players.
And Temecula Presents' first dance show — by Boston's Snappy Dance Theatre in fall 2006 — sold only 24 tickets for its first Friday night performance. That didn't worry Beers.
"I thought we were off to a pretty good start," says Beers, who's a veteran of the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. "Any time a new performance opportunity is introduced to any community, there's a learning curve to find out what it is. … You can never hang your hat on the first time of an event."
Over time, the dance series has drawn "healthy turnouts and very enthusiastic audiences here," with a sold-out house in spring 2009 for Odyssey Dance Theater from Salt Lake City.
And despite the economic downturn, the city of Temecula, which provides the theater's $650,000 budget, hasn't cut the amount Beers has available to pay artists, he says.
Among the strategies Beers has used to build the audience for dance: He offers master classes with the visiting companies, and he's done a cross-promotion between Temecula Presents' classical and dance patrons.
Beginning this past season, he also went a step beyond the standard pre- and post-performance talks and named Lori Craig Torok the theater's dance scholar in residence.
Torok, co-chair of the Theater and Dance Department at Mount San Jacinto College, was one of several local dance professionals who had done preperformance talks in the past. Asked to speak about the Limón company in 2008, she really did her homework.
"I ended up reading quite a bit from Jose Limón's memoirs," says Torok, whose performing career included stints in the Joffrey II company and as a Rockette. "Even for people who knew dance and knew Limón, that was something you maybe didn't get to do, sit down and read his poetry and his memoirs."
When Beers created the dance scholar in residence, he invited Torok to take the job. She will continue this season, giving 10- to 15-minute talks before a concert and moderating post-show question-and-answer sessions with the artists.
Beers is also cultivating audiences via an out-of-the-box showcase produced by Peter Kalivas, who does "4x4xFloor" in San Diego. Called "Dance Moves," the event debuted last December and takes place the third Tuesday of each month.
And it really does move. Some months, it's in the theater, with viewers sitting onstage; other times, the setting is the Merc, the theater's 48-seat cabaret venue in the restored 1890 Mercantile Building. (The Merc is also used for year-round jazz, rock, country and classical music series.)
The response to "Dance Moves," both from local artists who want to perform and from audiences, has been "overwhelmingly positive," Kalivas says. "They really enjoy that in one night you can see ballet, modern, Afro-Cuban with live drumming, classical Indian infused with hip-hop, tango, tap dancing, and kids performing jazz from a local dance studio."
For Beers, it all contributes toward "getting people to see dance for the first time. Once they do, it's so much easier for them to want to return."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

|Leeds United 2 v 0 Ipswich Town
SkyBet Championship
Saturday, 15th December 2012 Kick-off 15:00
|Mullet added 19:10 - Dec 15
Unchanged, it was Town who characterised the game from the off. Both sides were pedestrian in the engine room but, fast counterattacking and wing play was the order of the day. Town went at Paddy Kenny's goal like a bout of norovirus, torrents flowed down the wings through the energy of Martin and to a lesser extent Edwards early on. Fits and sputtering sprayed the ball onto the heads of centrebacks either side, before the first chance after barely 90 seconds.
Man of the match Martin cut in from the left and running at goal he opted not to shoot but tumble cheaply. He was waved away and Leeds broke for the first time through Diouf. He would be the catalyst down the right for the hosts own dominance in a game of fine margins.
Winter temperatures and an expansive autumn vista of mottled green saw both teams with room to play and territory to give and take, throughout the afternoon. Leeds capitalised with pace and athleticism in attack as well as the gift of Ipswich hesitancy at crucial junctures. However Town would have a small burst of chances in the first ten minutes.
A loose ball fell to Cresswell on the edge of the box who took to it with his weaker foot and zeppelined it into the laughably named "Kop". It was to set Town alight albeit briefly as Martin, DJ and Drury all sent balls down the wings with little end product from Town.
Leeds warned fairly early where the Senegalese spitter sent clear and volleyed against the chest of the onrushing Henderson from close range. The glovesman showed again he can spread better than butter on hot crumpets in the chilly environs of Yorkshire.
Town endured, but the lead came when pressure saw a Green header flicked innocuously into the six yard box. Chambo clowned around and Orr trundled the ball over the bar somewhat clumsily. Leeds' corner was simple but Thomas' finish somewhat fussy as a gangly heel flicked out speculatively. The lad megged Martin on the goal line much to everyone's disbelief. It was softer than lethal injection and ultimately the beginning of a slow death for a resilient Town.
Drury grew in belief; his earlier wastefulness gone as like N'Daw he played simple balls to find the front men. Murphy came deeper than Ron Jeremy too often, nullifying his menace to odd flicks and hold ups. However it was DJ whose running and endeavour would worry Leeds without really getting under their skin.
Leeds nearly made it two when Towns inability to close down and press saw Cresswell watch Diouf float a ball invitingly onto Becchio's rushing head. The Argentine couldn't RSVP with anything other than a wasteful header. Town meanwhile dragged the ball wide both in terms of build up and end product time and again. From over hit corners to, dithering wing play it was to be an afternoon of nearlys.
One such overhit corner saw Tommy Smith bound a header over his own head, before a rubbish Rivaldo impression as he stepped and stuttered on the flank, only to lose the ball and bring down his defensive counterpart unceremoniously. Town's best chance came from Carlos the captain.
A neat spell saw the ball interchange from clever play down the right. Drury, Carlos and Orr all exchanged neat passes which saw the Trinidadian burst into the box unchecked only to fire viciously off the bane of buffets everywhere which is Kenny. It was to be Town's best chance of the half and tellingly indicative of the lack of invention we suffered. N'Daw cleverly cleared a corner to the lonely Murphy who found DJ with an exquisite volleyed backheel to set DJ off on the halfway line being a close second in terms of flair and entertainment.
Leeds nearly grabbed a second where a quick flourish caught out Drury and down the left Leeds stormed. Cutting the ball back in, Tonge flicked a ball goalward for Norris to clatter a header against Cresswell cowering on the line, and a knee against Henderson on the floor. The ref played on briefly as the keeper clutched his head and Town fans held theirs collectively.
DJ may score when he wants but his assist for Martin's crisply taken net rippling drive to be negated by a linesman's late flag. Set away down the right hand side Town carved Leeds open as the loanee was adjudged to stray past the backline as he received the ball in space.
Town fans mulled, whines would have been unjustified as half time came and went.
Colin and Mick made no changes - it showed. More cut and thrust saw Leeds open the game up. Another easy cross was slammed by Becchio's head, looping off Chambers, Henderson readjusted nicely to tip one handed up and away. A wasteful snapshot saw the danger subside.
It was nice to see Town playing a simple passing game today. While possession was often not converted or too often, given away cheaply it was N'Daw for me who was the beating heart of our game. His first hour and change was the footballing embodiment of Occam's razor. Winning the civil war of Senegal when Diouf came inside, like a muscly, mutant, mongoose he neutralised the spitter and all over on-comers with equal aplomb. By bringing the ball out of the 18 yard box and laying it off, it sent Martin and co. away time and again for the first 75 minutes.
Importantly on the hour DJ made way for Chopra. His introduction changed a Town attack who had been lacklustre at times and wasteful too often. The troubled talisman ran and ran like a man missing the goals and adulation he is accustomed to. It was telling he would later make the miss of the game.
Martin again set away, this time down the right cut inside to square the ball to the striker waiting patiently on the penalty spot. He drove a lashing shot straight onto the legs of Kenny somehow.
As it was, Leeds would double their lead and sink the game for the blues much earlier on. A rasping drive from former Jewell target, Paul Green was a worthy winner from inside the box. He hit it with bend and venom into the postage stamp of the goal. Three points seemed to leave Town standing as Leeds delivered.
The game would fizzle out but not before JET replaced Murphy and a change in tack for Town. The wizardry only showed once as he dropped his shoulder to launch a ball for Martin to go clean through. Felled by the chasing defender as he was bearing down on goal the ref simply waved him on again. Not to book him for what was either a second miscarriage of justice, or act of clear simulation was frankly treacherous.
With the game and atmosphere flatter than Boxing Day Buck's Fizz, it'd be a harsh critic still making their mind up over Mick. He blooded young Hewitt to the departing grace of Lancs based loanee Orr. You can't read much into six minutes where the kid looked keen and athletic at least.
Leeds could have grabbed an undeserved third on a couple of occasions today. McCormack came off the bench to storm through the middle only to blast wide. Henderson claimed a couple of balls bravely from unchecked crosses. But ultimately the scoreline and result was perhaps undeserved. A young TWTD luminary lamented "I hate coming to away games with no goals to celebrate". Young man you miss the point. Some days teams will have days like this.
With the school holidays approaching today's report might read "must do better", however there was enough potential on show not to warrant festive worry just yet. Christmas may just about become Micklemas if he can pull out a few crackers and leave the baubles alone this yuletide.

Am not seeing Martin as mom ...n,daw for me,......he's improving each match that I have seen and adds much needed muscle in the middle of the park.......still not convinced by Henderson and was the only town player not to clap the away fans at end of match......Martin played well but must add the final ball to his game otherwise all his endeavour comes to nothing.
Positives.....back four definitely improving as a unit......we are starting to play out of defence not just hitting it up field....DJ always causes problems....and great to see another youngster blooded further in Hewitt...and although limited got to see some confident touches......mm has got this team working,giving optimism to the supporters and we will get results that reward this type of play...this is a blip rather than a step backwards.....ps thank you for autographs afterwards

text: Just curious.... If you're a vegetarian or vegan do you use a leather grip? Are leather grips made from animals? Even though I'm really satisfied with my current racket, I've been thinking of trying a leather grip. Guess it's just in the nature: always hard to be satisfied with what you have!! Since I'm a vegetarian I'm in a little bit of a dilemma... Obviously changing a leather grip is not going to improve your game, but what are the advantage of using one anyway? Am curious to hear your thoughts about this.

We are constantly on the prowl for furniture in antique shops, yard sales or even discarded in a narrow Savannah alleyway. We found this wingback chair over a year ago and loved the distinct hump at the top of the back. We decided to emphasize this feature by adding a felt "blanket" to run from front to back. We had been looking at belts as a layering and securing tool for a while and finally we had the perfect vehicle for it. With an equestrian inspiration in mind we covered the chair in a tan houndstooth plaid and pulled the accent blue up to the blanket. We used a total of 4 skinny belts on sale from Urban Outfitters to complete the look. We also stripped the unique legs and base to reveal a raw lighter wood which we added depth to by washing with a watered down milk paint.
See the below wingback transformation from Inspiration to Implementation.
It's important not to get too "themey". We kept this setting from looking too "hunting lodge" by pairing the chair with some other vintage elements but maintaining the crisp modern feel of the white loft space.

Wilfried Zaha takes to Twitter to deny he is sleeping with David Moyes' daughter
Manchester United's lacklustre performances so far this season under David Moyes, has begged a number of questions about the former Everton boss.
Ashley Young's regular starts, Anderson's appearances, the lack of Shinji Kagawa for much of the season have all been heavily criticised by Manchester United fans and seemingly the rest of the planet.
As one of just three summer signings, Wilfried Zaha has been one of those players that would have been expected to play a lot more for Manchester United this season.
With no goals from open play in the Premier League since the opening day and some fine performances for Crystal Palace in their promotion season, Zaha has been billed as a potential saviour for Moyes and Manchester United.
Zaha has played precisely zero minutes of football for Manchester United in the Premier League, so there must be another reason why he hasn't started for David Moyes.
Hence the rumour (above) and quick denial from Zaha today, below.
After the two Tweets are Wilfried Zaha's individual highlights from his Under-21 performance against Bolton last night, where he scored the third goal in a 4-0 Manchester United win.

Noise Singapore 2009 Artist of the Day: Random Sunday
Starting today, I'll be choosing five Noise Singapore 2009 artists from the Art and Design category and I will feature each artist and his/her work here. Now into its 4th year, Noise Singapore is a platform for young people to express themselves creatively through the arts. Today's Noise Singapore Artist of the Day is Random Sunday!
Random Sunday is a collective brand of t-shirts that were created by David Stevanov and Gian Jonathan on March 2008. Both of them are finishing their courses in Lasalle College of the Arts (David) and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Jonathan). The name came after Jonathan suggested that it would be cool to have a name of the days and shortly "random" was added in because of the creators' tendency to talk random nonsense and ideas. In fact, the initiative to form Random Sunday was born in one of these "random" conversations.
Above: Random Sunday's machine like no other: "A visual representation for Sony Vaio to show the complexity and capability of the machine's performance."
Random Sunday's designs were mainly inspired by their childhood dreams and beautiful memories of how the mighty Power Rangers could save the world without the help of any Dragon Balls and still refusing to accept the fact that Doraemon came to Nobita's house, not theirs. Hopefully by sharing these stories, others who see their artworks would be able to enjoy and relive their own wonderful memories.
Above: Random Sunday's Crane Machine: "A platform to reach and select fresh and new talents is our interpretation of Noise. Derived from this, we chose a crane machine to be the visual represent the whole idea. Instead of the dolls or other prizes, the crane machine contains a fresh and young talents as the prizes, it serves as a platform where the professional, future employer and public to notice and select them to enter the industries."
Recently, Random Sunday won the inaugural The Future Talent Awards by FutureBrand, Singapore. They also won the 1st prize in My Noise Tee Design Competition and were selected to be a part of the Noise Singapore Design Team. They are also featured in Noise Magazine 2009. You can view more artwork from Random Sunday here and here.
The Noise Singapore Festival Showcase is now on till 29 March at LevelOne@Far East Plaza. Check it out!

New Israeli troops deploy at Gaza border in anticipation of ceasefire end
Israeli forces are deployed into Gaza as a three day lull comes to an end.

As negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli delegations faltered on Wednesday during a 72-hour ceasefire, Israeli forces began redeploying near the Gaza border in advance of the midnight deadline.
Earlier, Egypt called for a three-day renewal in order to press for more time to reach a long-term agreement, even as Israel refused to accede to Palestinian demands for an end to the eight-year Israeli siege on Gaza.
A Palestinian official told Ma'an that Egypt had also suggested a new ceasefire proposal that would include easing the Israeli siege on Gaza as well as restrictions caused by Egypt's closure of the Rafah crossing, a key demand of the Palestinian leadership
Despite the negotiations, the Israeli army was reportedly deploying forces at the border with the Gaza Strip and authorities on Wednesday afternoon said they were considering calling up more reservists.
The military wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, said they would to give a televised speech Wednesday evening to update the public on negotiations and the preparations being made by Palestinian resistance forces.
The move comes as negotiations for peace have reached an impasse amid a five-week Israeli assault on Gaza that has left nearly 2,000 Palestinians dead and around 10,000 injured.
Hamas has insisted that Israel end its eight-year siege on the Gaza Strip, release dozens of prisoners whom Israel has re-arrested that were released in 2011 as part of the Gilad Shalit exchange, the re-opening of a seaport and airport in Gaza, and the creation of a safe passage between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Hamas' demands are consistent with the terms of the Oslo Accords signed between Israel and the Palestinians in the 1990s, but which Israel has failed to abide by amid its refusal to consider direct negotiations of any kind with Hamas, which it considers a terrorist group.
Israeli authorities have said that they would be willing to extend the ceasefire indefinitely but have also stressed that a long-term agreement should include the demilitarization of the Strip.
Hamas has scoffed at this demand, saying it was al-Qassam fighters who prevented the full-scale infiltration and re-occupation of Gaza by Israeli forces in recent weeks.
Before another temporary ceasefire last week, Israeli forces pulled out of major Gaza cities and redeployed on the Israeli side of the border, although airstrikes and shelling on Gazan cities continued between temporary ceasefires.

The 29-year-old, who helped guide Manchester City to the English Premier League title last season, enjoyed a stunning year with the club.
The Ivorian, who overcame fellow countryman Drogba and Cameroon's Song, was obviously touched after being confirmed as the winner.
"I have a lot of emotion," CNN.com quoted Toure, as saying.
"I think this night is so special for me," he added. (ANI)

We love this story from writer Carol Viau of Waynesville, North Carolina — we love it, because any of us, any of you, could have written it. She sums it up with eight simple words: We baby boomers are so much older now!
On a summer walk at Lake Junaluska in western North Carolina, a young family passed me going in the other direction. I overheard the daughter, who looked to be about 9, say to her younger brother, "When you're 45, you'll be a lot older than you are now."
Wow, I thought to myself. How about adding another 20 years to that — and you have millions of Baby Boomers who are now senior citizens.
How can this be? My 50th high school reunion is being planned for next summer. Fifty years? That's absolutely shocking.
Time is flying by so fast, it's hard to comprehend. Remember when summer seemed to go on forever? Now, as country star Kenny Chesney sings, "Don't blink" — all the seasons are sailing by us at time-warp speed.
I posted a few childhood photos taken in the 1950s during "Throw Back Thursday" on Facebook. It made me think about how different it was back then. We couldn't wait to go outdoors after school — we rode bicycles, climbed trees, and played Davy Crockett and Mickey Mouse Club. We walked to school unescorted by our parents. Think about that— we walked by ourselves and were not driven by parents.
Dinner back then was a family affair. We ate whatever our parents cooked and didn't complain. The sad part about looking at the old photos is that the childhood pictures are starting to fade.
But our memories of the next decade, the tumultuous 1960s, are not fading — they are indelibly etched into our brains. High school was a mix of old-fashioned boys-and-girls-getting-to-know-each-other, which was then complicated by anexplosion of pop culture and music of the "British Invasion."
College was a reawakening of minds, personal freedom, and social activism. We marched to end the Vietnam War and we were certain we were going to change the world. "Must see TV" shows like Ed Sullivan made way for the raucous Laugh-In and the spellbinding lunar landing.
The 1970s and 1980s led us to careers, marriage for some/divorce for some and the birth of children. Enter the 1990s, and we could point to success in our careers or growth of our families— and a Baby Boomer became President of the United States.
The world changed with the dawn of the millennium. The USA was attacked. Parents started to pass away. Boomers became grandparents. We went through a worldwide recession, just as we were thinking about retirement nest eggs and the next stage in life.
Some had to go back to work; some took early retirement. But, we turned 60, and wondered what would be ahead for us. Several of our friends passed away, just short of being able to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
We rejoiced when we got our Medicare cards and couldn't believe we were on Social Security. After 50 years of working, some, like me, retired. My husband and I have begun to travel in earnest— while we are still physically able to do so.
Now we are contemplating turning 70 in a few years and wondering what the Golden Years will hold in store for us.
So, here we are, folks. We are now "Elderheads," as a young person called us at a Grateful Dead concert. How did this happen? In the blink of an eye…..

Lots of zeros made Smyth a hero
A's prospect earns MiLBY after scoreless debut season
By Lisa Winston / MLB.com
In the case of Paul Smyth, the Athletics' 35th-round pick in 2009 out of Kansas, that transition was made a little easier by the fact that player development director Keith Lieppman already had been following the right-hander's career.
That's because Lieppman, like Smyth, was a Jayhawk.
"He went to my alma mater, so I already had interest in him because you don't see a whole lot of kids come out of Kansas," said Lieppman, the 2009 winner of the Sheldon "Chief" Bender Award, given annually by Minor League Baseball to someone with distinguished service in player development. "I was told he was a competitor who throws strikes, has a good sinker with tremendous deception, and an outstanding kid to have on the ballclub."
Nobody predicted, however, that Smyth, a senior signee who already had his diploma, would not allow a run in his professional debut, a span of 36 1/3 innings over 25 games between short-season Vancouver and Class A Kane County. He limited opponents to a .114 average and walked only four while striking out 44.
As a result of his 0.00 ERA over 29 1/3 innings at Vancouver -- where he walked four, struck out 37 and scattered 12 hits -- Smyth was a no-brainer when it came time to hand out the MiLBY for Best Short-Season Reliever.
With literally hundreds of player reports streaming in nightly from managers and coaches, Lieppman remembers how the dispatches from Vancouver manager Rick Magnante and pitching coach Craig Lefferts started coming together on this late-round sleeper.
"First, they started mentioning things like, 'He's solid, he likes to get the ball.' Then you start getting more embellishments about how he's unafraid in tough situations, how he pounds the lower half of the strike zone," Lieppman said. "Then they start saying how great he is off the field, how he's fluent in Spanish and helps with our Latino players, and he starts taking on this whole air, personality-wise."
At that point, Lieppman got to watch Smyth in action and saw even more reasons why the scoreless streak kept going.
"He gets swings and misses, he's getting flinches from right-handed hitters," said Lieppman, explaining why he felt comfortable moving Smyth up to a full-season club that needed a closer down the stretch. "We think we got a steal in the 35th round."
A northern California native who grew up rooting for Oakland, Smyth jokes that he thinks part of the reason he got the initial assignment to Vancouver -- the higher of the A's two short-season clubs -- was that he happened to have his paperwork in order.
"I went hoping I'd go to Vancouver but not sure how it would be decided," he said. "But a few people didn't get to go there because they didn't have their passport ready yet. I had my passport ready."
A reliever throughout his college career, Smyth knew he'd remain in the bullpen but wasn't sure what his role would be, especially since the Athletics have a policy under which they won't tweak a player's mechanics for the first month unless the player specifically requests it.
But success, obviously, came quickly, something Smyth attributes partly to the Athletics' coaching drills, which he took to immediately.
"I felt like I was doing things right and that the drills we'd been working on were paying off," he said. "I was developing comfort in my delivery and buying into everything they were teaching us."
Still, a streak like Smyth's is treated a little differently than, say, a pitcher who is throwing a no-hitter.
"I think pitchers throwing a no-hitter have it easy because no one talks for about three, four hours, whereas for me -- since it lasted for a couple of months -- people wanted to talk about it," he said. "I try not to look at stats, but this is a stats game. It definitely got brought up a lot. I tried to see how many jinxes I could get past. One time, our pitching coach introduced me to a whole group of school kids as 'The guy who hasn't given up a run yet this season,' and everyone was like, 'Well, that was nice while it lasted.'"
Not surprisingly, comparisons have been made between the side-arming Smyth and his scoreless streak and A's side-arming reliever Brad Ziegler, who set a record in 2008 when he opened his big league career with 39 shutout innings.
While neither is a prototypical over-the-top pitcher, Ziegler made the transformation from three-quarters to underhand; Smyth has been a side-armer for as long as he can remember. He also throws harder than Ziegler and probably has better "stuff" to work with.
"He's a fastball/slider guy who mainly relies on a two-seam sinking fastball but started showing the ability to pop a four-seam fastball at the letters to change the eye level for the hitter," Lieppman said. "But they both can exploit right-handed hitters and have deception in their deliveries."

Reductions in exchangeable Mg with liming have frequently been reported in acid soils. It has been suggested that such reductions are due to an interaction between exchangeable Mg and soil Al; however, the form(s) of Al responsible for the interaction has not been adequately defined. Consequently, the objectives of this study were to fractionate the Al occurring in a series of acid Ohio soils and to determine if a relationship between Al and Mg could be defined in order to predict those soils where reductions in exchangeable Mg with liming may pose a potential problem for plant nutrition. Laboratory treatments were applied to seven soil materials in a 4 × 2 factorial, with four lime (no lime, pH 5, pH 6, pH7) and two Mg levels (0 and 25% of the cation exchange capacity, CEC). Losses in exchangeable Mg were regressed against Al solubilized by six extractants commonly used for Al fractionation, including KCl, NH4-acetate, CuCl2, Na-citrate-dithionite, NH4-oxalate, and Na-pyrophosphate. Reductions in exchangeable Mg with liming were observed over a range of equilibrium pH values; however, the effect was clearly enhanced by increasing the soil pH to neutrality. Addition of supplemental Mg to the soils increased the absolute amount of exchangeable Mg lost with liming but had little effect on the nature of the response. Decreases in exchangeable Mg in those soils limed to near neutrality ranged from 17 to 34% of that initially present. The reduction in exchangeable Mg was positively correlated with several soil Al fractions including exchangeable, organically chelated, and poorly crystallized inorganic species; however, exchangeable Al produced the best correlation supporting the hypothesis that Mg "fixation" is due to the occlusion or coprecipitation of Mg with Al upon liming.

[VIDEO PICK: Golazos] The son of 1998 MLS cup winner Roman Kosecki knifes into the box in Poland and Stefan Reisinger dances
through the defense in Germany.
A couple of wonderfully different runs from last week.
Here, the son of an original member of the Chicago Fire, goes from a dead stop to a deflated defense, in a matter of seconds.
Jakub Kosecki, 22, is on Legia Warsaw, where his father Roman spent two stints before coming to the MLS -- playing 50 games for the Chicago Fire, and scoring the first goal in franchise history. Legia is first in Poland, with one loss after 14 games, and Jakub, a 5-foot-6 attacker, is its second leading scorer.
A late cut, back to the outside, seemed to catch the entire defense by surprise, in this 1-0 win over Widzew Lodz, and the finish goes goes through the wickets …
szólj hozzá: Legia - Widzew 1:0 (Kosecki)
An original Bundesliga member, Duesseldorf spent the last 15 years in Germany's second, third, and fourth divisions prior to being promoted this year. It finished its best week of the season by beating Frankfurt 4-0 at home Friday, after earning a tie at Borussia Dortmund midweek, and all began with a 2-0 win over Hamburg a week ago Friday.
This momentum could have come from this terrific goal by Reisinger against Hamburg -- and his now you see me, now you don't, finish ...
"Now you're talking to me, baby. That I like. Keep it coming."

Can Smoking Affect Testosterone Levels? Increase Them With TST 1700
Go to any GNC or browse and supplement store online and you'll quickly notice one thing – there is an overwhelming amount of products. This makes the normally simple decision to purchase a testosterone booster so much more difficult than it actually needs to be.
Choosing The Right Testosterone Booster For You
Testosterone boosters especially are difficult to pick from, especially when they've got fancy names like fitcrew usa TST 1700 , Hardcore Test, among hundreds of others. While testosterone boosters can and typically are incredibly useful for men, the purchasing process can be frustrating and downright overwhelming.
Don't fret though, we've got your back here. Here is how you can pick the right test booster for you:
Research The Company Behind The Product
If you are purchasing a product online, then this is simple. A simple Google search of the company name can typically tell you everything you need to know about their products, trustworthiness, and reliability.
A huge red flag is if you see numerous complaints on sites like PissedConsumer & Rip Off Report. In the supplement world, you're going to see some angry customers because no product works for every single individual, but just remember that a large number of complaints should set off a huge red flag.
Always pay attention to what the complaints are about as well. If someone is simply complaining about billing practices or such, the product could still be legit.
Look At The Ingredients Label
One of the biggest problems right now is a lack of transparency in the supplement world. Too many companies are stealing each other's products and formulas, and this has led to the birth of "proprietary formulas."
Basically companies now hide their testosterone boosting ingredients by adding them to a "blend" or "matrix." Instead of knowing if the products are dosed right, you are left in the dark.
While it is understandable why companies would want to do this at least to some degree, it's not good for us as consumers. A product like T90 Xplode clearly labels its' products and tells you exactly what is in their product as well as the dosage. That's the kind of transparency you want.
Read The Consumer Reviews
Besides reading information about the company behind the product, you should obviously see what consumers are suggesting about the product. Amazon is a great place to read reviews as well as the Bodybuilding forums.
Be sure to read side effects, potential risks, and whether or not the reviewers like the product. The more info out there – the better. If a product is legit, it will have mixed reviews too. No product is perfect, so any product with 100% happy customers is up to something fishy.
Go With Your Gut
At the end of the day, reviews and research will only get you so far. You know your body than anybody else. Do you really think you need the product? Do you tolerate products well? If so, then go ahead buy the product.
However, while testosterone products are useful for many, some guys claim they are utterly useless. This is probably because some guys just naturally have higher testosterone levels, and for those lucky guys, products aren't needed.
If you're considering a test booster, go with your gut. If your gut tells you to try it, do it and see what happens. Try natural supplementsT, and if you just don't feel right trying a product, move on and find something else.

McNulty's Daytona notebook

Kevin Harvick has finished third the past two season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup championships and this season he wants to step up to the top spot. Sort of baby steps, if you will. Harvick and his wife DeLana announced last month that the couple are expecting their first child a boy in July. That news was preceded by the selling off of the couples NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series teams. It was all, Harvick said, part of his master plan to unencumber himself so he could focus on a title for the No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet team. I know the baby has set a lot of things in motion, he said on Friday. But, it really set a lot of things in motion that had started the analyzing of everything from home to the race teams. And he said that will help him with his championship goal. I feel like I have more time to spend in the shop; focusing on the cars at the track, and taking away all the outside race team stuff, he said. That is how were going to take that last step I hope. It might work. It might not. BUSCH WILL KEEP HIS HELMET ON Kyle Busch says he hasnt even thought of what kind of celebration he might do if he wins Sundays Daytona 500. In fact, he said even thinking about it might jinx his chances. You dont want to plan for anything thinking that you have a chance to win or thinking that you are going to win, he said. To me, you dont try to plan for something like that because you could end up being like Dale Earnhardt who went 20 years before he won it. Busch, while accumulating wins at a record pace over his first five seasons in NASCAR Sprint Cup, has also earned the wrath of fans for his sometimes boorish behaviour both on and off the track. And he takes delight in answering boos after his wins with a great bow from the top of his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. One thing for sure Busch will keep his helmet on no matter how he celebrates if he wins on Sunday. You never know what kind of missiles that might come raining down on you (from fans), he said.

Regional focus on railroad safety
Officials cite need for wider planning
Controversy surrounding the resurgence of a railroad operation in Upton has spurred the town to draft a regional emergency response plan with the state and neighboring communities, should an accident happen along the tracks.
At a meeting last week, federal officials assured residents that the railroad operation is safe, but local officials, responding to concerns voiced by residents, are taking no chances.
An initial emergency response plan is on file with the state, but plans will be updated as the Grafton & Upton Railroad operation evolves, Fire Chief Aaron Goodale told dozens of residents at a special question-and-answer session held Tuesday at Nipmuc Regional High School.
"I have worked extensively on this,'' Goodale said. "The town already has a comprehensive emergency plan in place, as required, and it fits any situation at the railroad as far as a large-scale incident goes. The process of building out the railroad is an expanding process. We will expand our plans as they expand their development down there.''
The meeting was called by the Board of Selectmen and attended by officials from the Federal Railroad Administration to address neighborhood concerns about development at the West Upton rail yard, as well as the potential hazards posed by chemical tankers on the property.
Jon Delli Priscoli, who three years ago bought the long-dormant railroad, which dates to 1873, sat with his lawyer in the front row of the auditorium.
Upton already is part of a regional hazardous materials team that is run through the state Fire Marshal's Office in Stow, but over the last two weeks, Goodale has met with fire officials in Northbridge and Grafton, as well as representatives from the rail line and its client at the Upton yard, Dana Corp., to begin drafting a regional response plan.
Rail accidents, while rare, can be catastrophic for any single community, the fire chief told the gathering. Joining forces not only makes sense from a planning perspective, he said, but may lead to additional funding.
Another meeting is expected in the next two months.
According to William S. Schoonover, staff director of a hazardous-materials division in the Federal Railroad Administration, all the operations at the West Upton yard are in compliance with federal regulations, and are exempt from local and state jurisdiction as long as they involve transportation operations - even the long-term parking of tank cars loaded with hazardous materials.
"Doesn't that mean storage?'' asked Marsha Paul, a former selectwoman and former member of the Upton Board of Health.
"No, it's transloading within the yard,'' answered Schoonover. "It is one of the areas where our regulations have allowed for a long period of time - longer than I have been overseeing them - the ability to keep cars in yards for indefinite periods.
"I know that is a tough issue to say,'' Schoonover continued. "It is one of those areas I don't relish standing up in front of a bunch of citizens and telling them that our regulations allow that, but that is in fact what it does.''
Mike Pinko, who lives near the tracks, asked if any substances were simply too dangerous to store at the Upton yard, which is also near the main well for the town's water supply.
"The railroad can't turn any product away, and we don't have the right to tell them what they can and can't have down there,'' Goodale replied. "Certainly there are materials that have us concerned down there, but we have a relationship with the railroad that, when those materials come in that are unusual, we are made aware of those. We are down there on a regular basis.''
One chemical that is handled at the Upton yard is ethanol, a combustive substance that is used as an additive in gasoline; it can be difficult to control in a spill or fire without special foam and procedures.
Goodale said Upton is fortunate that the trains carrying ethanol into town are few in number and they travel slowly.
The nearby towns of Uxbridge and Northbridge sit along the more active Providence & Worcester rail line and see far more ethanol traffic, he noted.
"I look on the bright side,'' Goodale said. "We don't have 40-, 50-, 60-car trains coming through our town at 50 or 60 mile an hour. They come into town here at 8 or 10 miles an hour, and crossings are guarded at this point. They are flagging out there. It is a low-speed operation.''
Resident Ellen Arnold asked whether the emergency planning includes evacuations of nearby schools. The fire chief said current plans include evacuation procedures, and establish safe evacuation distances of 800 feet and a quarter-mile, depending on the nature of the incident, but school officials would be updated as the plan evolves.
After the 90-minute question-and-answer session, Christine Maloney said she was still concerned about the effect that an active railroad would have on her home of 18 years. The tracks pass behind her backyard, and she can see and hear activity on the rail, Maloney said.
"It's noisy,'' she said, adding that she suspected the Groton & Upton line's resurrection may be connected to a dip in her home's value.
Paul, the former town official, said she had mixed feelings about the meeting, during which she sparred with Selectman Robert Fleming, the board's chairman, over whether the town should ask another federal agency, the Surface Transportation Board, for a ruling on what activities in the rail yard are exempt from local control.
Selectmen had recently overruled an attempt by the Planning Board to hire outside counsel to seek the opinion, which Fleming contends would unnecessarily cost Upton thousands of dollars in litigation to get answers already provided by the Federal Railroad Administration, and confirmed in a letter from the Surface Transportation Board.
"I have different things in writing from the STB than Bob Fleming. If we want to know what is preempted, we have to go to the STB for an opinion. It is not about a lawsuit, it is just getting the facts,'' Paul said.
On the other hand, she added, "it seems like the owner is cooperating with us, which is good. I am pleased he is putting a catch basin in - that was my fear, the spilling of hazardous chemicals.''

Unanswered: Disabling Of Triggeres In SYBASE12.0??
Can we disable the indexes on tables as we disable the triggers in sybase12.0? I am using the BCP to insert the data into tables. Existance of triggers and indexes on tables makes SLOW bcp. I had now disabled the triggers and also want to disable the indexes, as i don't want to explictly drop the triggers and then recreate it.
Thanks in advance.

You, to the best of my knowledge, cannot 'disable' an index in ASE. You will have to drop, BCP -in, and recreate the index.Thanks,
