Sadly, John Smith of Scarborough, England, had to return from his vacation slightly deflated. He'd hoped to get photographs of the Mystery Blonde, but was thwarted at every turn.
He had no choice but to return to Pearson Airport, Toronto, to catch his flight back to Newcastle, where his wife would be waiting for him.
On a brighter note, a Canadian photographer, Ivor Lenson, reported that HE had sighted, who HE believed to be, the Mystery Blonde at a very expensive Hotel, The King George Hotel at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.
Ivor was hanging around in the lobby of the King George, hoping to pap some American celebrities as they are known to frequent the King George on a regular basis.
Niagara-on-the-Lake is extremely close to the American border. Merely a hop, skip and a jump.
This beautiful little town is well known for its many antique shops, though many prices of the antiques are rather expensive for Canadian wallets, Americans love spending their money in these shops (stores).
Ivor had read descriptions of this 'beauty' who appeared to be proving very difficult to photograph and 'pin down'. He'd read stories on the Spoof.
Determined to be the very first person to photograph this elusive, leggy blonde, Ivor settled himself in for a long day.
He'd taken with him a cooler full of snacks and drinks as he knew the King George's prices were way out of HIS price range.
He'd just finished his first Twinkie and Coke when he spotted, who he believed to be, the Mystery Blonde leaving the hotel.
Ivor quickly stuffed his remaining snacks plus the garbage from his Twinkie and Coke,into the mini-cooler he had with him....grabbed his camera bag and headed out of the hotel to follow the Mystery Blonde.
The Mystery Blonde headed out from the hotel and walked across the road to the Play Park where children were having fun playing on the equipment and splashing in the shallow pool, watched by their doting parents.
It was an extremely HOT day and the Mystery Blonde was wearing a figure-hugging, sleeveless white top and a pair of tight, pink, denim shorts which reached just about 2 inches above her knees. She wore a white baseball cap with a long 'bill' and a pair of Oakley sunglasses.
Ivor noticed how heads turned as the Mystery Blonde passed by them.
Ivor followed her and watched as she took a seat on one of the benches in the Play Park. The Mystery Blonde took out a cell phone and began to text. Ivor wondered who she was contacting but couldn't dwell on this....he was a man on a mission. A mission to get a photograph and - perhaps in his dreams - an interview with The Mystery Blonde.
Ivor was determined to do whatever it would take to find out the true identity of The Mystery Blonde, thereby grabbing the biggest Scoop for The Spoof.

How Did You Get Started?
I got interested in the bodybuilding game, when my buddy offered to sell an old universal machine to me. I knew it was time for change; my body was rather small and skinny. I bought the machine and never looked back. I started gaining all kinds of muscle and I am very happy that I did start.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
- Sunday: Chest/Abs
- Monday: Legs
- Tuesday: Back
- Wednesday: Shoulders/Abs
- Thursday: Arms/Abs
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
I try to get as many meals as I possibly can during the day, which is about 5 or 6. If I can't get to a meal in time, I usually break out the protein bars. I eat a lot of tuna, chicken, grains, fruits and Whey protein. As well I drink lots and lots of water, so far so good.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
Whey Protein has given me some great gains as well as Cell-Tech Creatine; I've noticed the most muscle gain off those two supplements. I also use L-glutamine and Multi-Vitamins all together they seem to work.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
I love bodybuilding because of the reaction it sends off to people. It's nice to walk into a room, where everyone is staring at your arms, it gives you some great confidence. It is also great for yourself, it builds discipline and structure in your life and you look great in the process.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
For now just keep lifting and getting bigger, I hope to hit the 260 lbs. mark or higher and after that see what I want to do with it, for now it's just a really great hobby for me.
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
The biggest advice I can give bodybuilders is NOT TO GIVE UP, I see a lot of people quit and it really pains me to see this, after all Rome wasn't built in a day, these things take time. And for bodybuilders to worry about nutrition first and the workouts second, its all about nutrition.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, Frank Zane, Lou Ferrigno, and even some of those big guys in pro wrestling like Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Batista. They have all been a huge part in building me.

Usain Bolt 200M Final Live Stream: Watch Online 200 Meters With Yohan Blake at London 2012 Olympics (Race Time 3.55PM)
Usain Bolt will compete in the men's 200M final at the London 2012 Olympics Thursday, looking to add a second gold medal to his collection from this Games. He and countryman Yohan Blake will race it out at 3.55 p.m. ET and all the action can be watched online through live stream (details below).
READ: Usain Bolt Thanks God Following 200M Gold Medal in 'Heavenly Father' Twitter Post
Bolt will be attempting to make more Olympic history Thursday, as he attempts to become the first person ever to successfully defend the men's 200 meter Olympic title.
America's legendary sprinter Carl Lewis, who incidentally is the only other person apart from Bolt to successfully defend the men's 100 meter sprint Olympic title, was unable to defend his 200 meter title. Lewis won gold in the 200 meters in Los Angeles in 1984 only to lose out by just 0.04 seconds to Joseph DeLoach of the United States in Seoul in 1988.
Other sprinters close to defending the 200 meter title have been Donald Quarrie of Jamaica who only managed a bronze medal when he was attempting to defend his title. He finished just a tenth of a second behind Pietro Mennea of Italy. In Athens in 2004 Shawn Crawford of the United States won gold in the 200 meters only to lose in 2008 in Beijing as Usain Bolt sped past him.
Bolt has already broken the 100M sprint Olympic record on Sunday night in London by running 9.63 seconds. He will enter the 200M sprint as favorite, and he has cruised through the qualifying rounds for today's final.
Following today's 200 meter final he will also be taking part in the 4x100 meter relay event in the coming days as the London 2012 Olympics comes to an end.
Yohan Blake is the man most would look to if someone is going to beat Bolt today. Blake has a personal best of 19.26 seconds, just 0.07 seconds behind the world record from the World Championships in Berlin in 2009.

The second LP from Gamma, an unlikely hard rock group on Elektra Records, features future Robin Trower vocalist Davey Pattison doing his best to sound like Bad Company during Paul Rodgers' "Rock & Roll Fantasy" period. With Jim Alcivar on synthesizer and Denny Carmassi on drums, you have a goodly portion of the band Montrose, since the guitarist/producer is the guiding hand behind this project. "Skin and Bone" might as well be Bad Company, while the cover of Thunderclap Newman's "Something in the Air" misses the mark slightly. The revolutionary theme of that great tune from the film The Strawberry Statement gets lost in the translation and doesn't have Pete Townshend's clever production. Though the attempt is interesting enough, memories of the original are so strong that this version is a bit of a letdown, the risk of treading on hallowed ground snagging the group here. Ronnie Montrose, Alcivar, and Pattison combine to write the leadoff track, "Mean Streak," which distorts the "Jumpin' Jack Flash riff just enough to create something new with a metal edge. "Four Horsemen" is Black Sabbath with '80s polish, while "Dirty City" goes back to the Ken Scott sound of the first Gamma LP, copying Foreigner's "Hot Blooded" from two years earlier. Ten Wheel Drive vocalist Genya Ravan is listed on "Dirty City," but Pattison's voice is what producers Gary Lyons and Ronnie Montrose bring up in the mix. "Voyager" is a dreamy metal blues number, and it gives Ronnie Montrose a chance to shine. It and "Cat on a Leash" are two of the more original titles from a group that was highly derivative. "Mayday" ends the album with a hard rock mutation of the Knack's "My Sharona." For a group that sounds so much like two acts on Elektra's sister label, Atlantic, Gamma may have fared better elsewhere. Still, Ronnie Montrose's guitar work makes it worth a few spins, and there's no denying the craftsmanship on sounds you've heard many times before. ~ Joe Viglione

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Cyprus Friendship Program, Wolfeboro, NH, USA
I cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was. I was a participant of CFP in 2011, my group visited Portland,OR. Recalling the experience after two years from when my involvement with CFP started, I have created such precious friendships, firstly the one with my T/C pair, her name is Gizem, the teens I travelled with and all the other teens that I met and became friends with because of CFP. We were received in a environment of such warmth and love by all the people involved, our host families, our coordinators in Cyprus and the US and every volunteer who did the slightest bit of work to make everything possible, the sentiment that everyone involved put in every activity we did is the real proof of how worthwhile this programme is. Other proof is the fact that no matter how much time passes a CFP teen will describe the experience of being one with exactly the same enthusiasm everytime. We did peace building work, we got to know each other, we acquired knowledge, had so much fun, traveled to a foreign country where we were taken care of by lovely people with which we exchange emails, skype calls and make plans to visit each other's countries and we became more sensitive to issues that exist in our life as Cypriots and as people. Through this review I'll take the chance to say thank you to every one who donated a single penny that contributed in getting me on a plane with those people to that place. I hope you see this because I am truly grateful for giving me the chance to live all that I lived through CFP. I now have great people as friends, great relationships tying me to a place so far away, and a much greater view on who I want to be as a person. Thank you, and I hope that anyone considering donating to this programme will make the decision to do it but not just that, watch it grow and stay close to it to see the amazing effects it has on the lives of people.

2011 NASCAR Preview: The Top 30 Driver Countdown

No. 4 Red Bull Toyota

Born: April 10, 1980
2011 Spin
Perhaps Kasey Kahne should start seeking sponsorship from U-Haul, since he's been doing a lot of moving in recent months, and another big move is on the horizon. A disgruntled Kahne, given a contentious release from Richard Petty Motorsports last October, will have only one year to build on a five-race stint with Red Bull Racing that ended last season.
Kahne's future plans have already been announced; he was signed to replace Mark Martin at the No. 5 seat at Hendrick beginning in 2012 before a rare agreement with Red Bull Racing was reached. That leaves RBR as a temporary stop on the way to arguably the sport's best team, a partnership where keeping all sides distraction-free will be a challenge.
"I see what Red Bull's all about," claimed Kahne after surprising with a pole at Homestead in last season's finale. "I see how they do it. They have really good people. It's just a matter of a little bit of direction, some leadership, and we're working on that. We can be a strong team next year."
One development tops the list of fixes: Kahne is reunited with crew chief Kenny Francis, who also made the exit from RPM, and they will be joined by several other teammates who were laid off from that downsizing company. The return of veteran leader Brian Vickers to RBR should also rejuvenate the effort, which suffered without him. Jay Frye is also a solid and respected GM, excellent at making the most out of modest resources.
Overall, the dedication and financial support are a far cry from RPM, where it never seemed the money and equipment were fully behind Kahne for much of his tenure. But considering the short stint at RBR, can this guy keep his attitude adjusted should things go wrong early? How he left the No. 9 team was ugly at best — a third brake failure caused Kahne to crash at Charlotte and leave the track before repairs were made to his Ford. Kahne said he wasn't feeling well, but what led to his release was the fact that he was essentially caught in a lie, running in a 5K charity race the next morning.
So will Kahne flourish in his one-year stint with RBR? Don't hold your breath. He's heading to a different team that runs a different manufacturer — his third in three years — so the depth of knowledge shared may not be adequate for large-scale success. They may eke out a win or two, due to Kahne's talent alone, which could conceivably net them a wild card Chase berth, but nothing more.
What The Competition Is Saying
Thoughts from anonymous garage-area owners, crew chiefs and team members.
The recurring phrase with Kahne is "lots of talent." A rival crew chief notes, "What happens to Kasey next year bears watching because it's not something that happens very often. He's sort of being farmed out to Team Red Bull for one year, and nobody really knows how that's going to work. I think (crew chief) Kenny Francis showed a lot of professionalism. Distraction is a potential issue, since this whole arrangement will close at the end of the 2011 season."
Another crew chief says, "You've just got to wonder when, or if, things are ever going to work out for this guy. He's got great talent. He's a proven winner. He's had more than his share of bad luck in things falling apart around him, but yet, he hasn't had a thing to do with any of it."
A third says, "It's hard to believe, but right now, I think Kasey Kahne is actually underrated."

Hackers help: One more EXPEDIT hack?
I do love all the Expedit series and I was about to buy another one for my sons room, till I saw this. Any ideas how I can hack Expedit 4*4 to look this way?
19 Responses to Hackers help: One more EXPEDIT hack?
Sorry, forgot the link.
For my own personal Ikea hack, I used to make toy cabinets but have been staring at a big 5×5 Expedit in my office.
I've made some electronic controlled door inserts and can control access remotely on a cell phone or tablet. If anyone likes it I'm trying to make a few of them through Kickstarter.com. Please visit my web site
Actually, you don't need to fall apart any of the internal panels.
All you have to do is to mount your shelves on the floor. Imagine as I say:
1) short the exterior panels as Trent sad. Place them on the floor.
2) place the 4 internal horizontal panels without glueing them. Do not cut anything because you don't know the idea yet. Now you can use the pencil to mark the edges of the horizontal panels where they touch the external panels. Take the horizontal panels out and do the same with the vertical ones.
3) put the 4 horizontal panels back. Place the first internal vertical panel over the mounted set. Take a pencil and draw the lines on the horizontal shelves. You will cut the 4 horizontal shelves down to half of the shelf. Without moving the set, draw the lines on the vertical shelf. Your pencil will be upside down. You will cut 4 times this shelf up to half of it. You will slide the vertical shelf into the 4 horizontal ones.
4) repeat the procedure with the other 2 vertical shelves. You don't need any measurement for the angles. You need just a pencil.
5) you will use white silicone to well finish the edges.
If you think you understood, do it with a cardboard first before buying the Expedit. You can also do the simulation with styrofoam sheets. Think, think, think before cutting. Don't worry, you are not in the middle of naval battle.
Final advice: be sure, your son will crawl the shelves. Children always do that. Also be sure, you will climb the shelves to replace the bulb lamps. Adults always do that.
Re-drill first. Saw after. You need the original holes as a model.
Saw just the the upper side of exterior panels.
Saw just the right side your horizontal exterior panels.
You don't need to short the both sides of the exterior panels.
Hi the piece your looking at is in fact not ikea but am expensive award winning design by Peter Maly called lines. He has an extensive collection of complimenting pieces, the info to view that is at the bottom of this post. But before you shell out 700 bucks or more let me walk you through how to get this 2008 piece updated to a more modern 2014 look for only $17 and 1 afternoon. I just built a very similar "functioning deco" piece for a client. I wish I could post pics here. I do everything upcycled nothing is store bought. I went to home depots all over the city and asked if they had any scrap wood. They all did, several also had sample paint tubs from valspar. I did the same thing at Ace and Lowe's. Then out of a full truck bed of wood I pieced as many different types of wood together in varied sizes as needed then organized them on the floor till I got the look I was going for.then I took each piece and placed it Sunday the wall and using a green piece of chalk traced each one on the wall (use magic eraser lightly to remove. Then WITH OUT SANDING painted them in various shades of antique light blue, green and white. 3 more coats, colour a with a r oller mix 1/10th of a thick base primer (let sit 24hrs) then colour b brushed on but just one go pr stroke you want to leave spaces then with your 3rd complimenting colour just slightly feather it with the biggest brush you have then if you know how to antique wood do it your way I like to sand it with 3 different grains of sanding sponge alt. Wet and dry until I get the perfect look leaving lots of the original wood showing through. This is where all the scraps start to look like a very expensive piece of functdeco then line then up against their outlines and using long wood screws and anchors drill into the wall affixing it to a beam then Mark on the wood exactly where you put the studs then use a drimmel to carve out a key hole shape like on shelves and pictures then slide and lock it on to the wall and tada you have an original piece of functdeco that no one else on earth has the exact same of. I like to go one further on the originality and use sculpty polymer clay to make moulds that fit the size of the different woods edge bake 15 min and paint them a complimentary colour then use epoxy to fasten. My way $17 including gas time 1 day with all the fixings 2 hours with natural or uniformed wood. The good design (2008) awarded piece by Peter Maly your trying to hack can be priced from ligne-roset-usa.com or call them in NYC 1800 -by-roset to go into the store and play around with the options on the original. Good luck to you , Hillary Marek Wonderlanded custom designs
I don't know how the expedit exterior square is assebled, but the inner parts could be easily made in a not so perfect way bij buying planks with the right length and cutting openings in them half way through, fitting them together.
The vertical planks have these cuts on the back side, the horizontal planks on the front side.
The cuts need to be wider than the width of the planks, to allow them to tilt.
Then you need some way to fix the construction of planks to the Expedit exterior. If everything fits nicely, not tight but tight enough, the construction might hold itself together..
I guess my idea is the same as SD-Cr8′s.
You could get as-is parts from the 5×5 expedit for the inside parts and cut them to fit, and get the regular 4×4 expedit for the outsides.
What's the link for the wonky expedit clone? TIA
In this pic, every horizontal looks divided as a separate, this person must have dowel jointed EVERY horizontal shelf to the verts and trimmed the angles, this is utter class.
The point is you use a stringed (like a plumb-line) approach to determine everything and create your angles.
You could also make it as a slot-in mesh, (not as classy) where one shelf slots into another. In this pic, the horizontals would slot in from the back, or the verts from the front (all complete end to end shelves).
Looks fantastic.
If you are open to a solution "in the spirit" and not an exact duplicate. You could build the expedit as intended and add asymetrical inserts to the shelves. Here is a link to someone's Expedit Winerack hack. Use inserts in a similar manner but instead of making them uniform, make them irregular.
This is no Expedit by Ikea. look at the edges they are sloped. also the boreholes would not fit
There's no fooling you
Clearly, you didn't even read the post. :::slow clap:::
This is obviously not possible from the Expedit stock parts. If inserted at a slant the stock boards would be too short.
But what would be needed done is actually pretty straightforward, although probably very hard to get right. The vertical boards would have to be custom made, possibly even the horizontal ones (although you could try to cut down the stock boards to make the horizontal boards). You'd have to trim all the boards at an angle, and drill holes at an angle, through the vertical boards and into the frame. And somehow cover up the original holes.
Personal opinion: You're trying to make a square peg from a round one. I don't know the cost of the original, but you'd be looking at a serious money and time investment, above all a ton of planning and precision work to get the angles on the parts right.
If we ever look at the building process of an expedit you will find out that this is impossible.
you would have to custom build all the inner parts. only the frame can be used and the long inner pieces.
that would need a lot of measurements and cutting but it is surely possible…but the question is: is it worth it? ; or would it be ,more likely to just shift and tilt the vertikal bits?
Actually, for the vertical pieces you could probably use the pre-fab expedit, and for the smaller shelves too, but for those few shelves that will be bigger than usual you'll have to get some MDF or something to fill in a few.
I'd say : shorten sth like 5cm on each end of the frame pannels, re-drill (as you just cut the holes off), screw. And fill in the original holes.

Oregon's deficient bridges: How will we pay to repair them?
Every day, millions of people from all walks of life in Oregon cities, towns and rural areas travel over one of the state's 8,052 bridges — essentially any structure longer than 20 feet that carries vehicle traffic. These bridges carry commuters through and within our cities, move people from town to town, help farmers bring their goods to market, and get freight from A to B each and every day.
But today, far too many of these bridges are rated structurally deficient — bridges in urgent need of repair or replacement. Oregon today has 439 structurally deficient bridges, representing 5.5 percent of the state's 8052 bridges. Those 439 bridges represent a looming crisis for the state.
The average age of these sub-par bridges is 55 years — over the typical design life of 50 years and 14 years older than the average age of all Oregon bridges (41 years old). More than one in twelve Oregon bridges were built before 1948 — which means more than 680 bridges are older than the Korean War and creation of Medicare.
Oregon drivers collectively took close to 533 million trips over deficient bridges in 2014, nearly twice the total of 269 million in 2000. That's more than 1.4 million trips per day or over 1,000 trips every minute taken over deficient Oregon bridges in 2014.
What does "structurally deficient" mean?
Highway bridges have three primary components: 1) the deck, which is the surface of the bridge that cars, trucks and people contact — the pavement, typically; 2) the superstructure, which consists of the components that support the deck; and 3) the substructure, which is where the bridge contacts the ground. Each of these bridge features is given a rating between 0 and 9 when inspected, with 9 signifying the best condition. Federal guidelines classify bridges as "structurally deficient" if one of these three key components is rated at 4 or less (poor or worse), meaning engineers have identified a major defect in its support structure or its deck. (There are a handful of other criteria that can result in a deficient grade, but for the majority of deficient bridges, one of these three primary components rates a 4 or below.) Federal law requires states to inspect all bridges 20 feet or longer at least every two years, though states typically inspect structurally deficient bridges far more often.
Oregonians and Oregon businesses rely on bridges each day that are subject to closure or weight restriction if increased maintenance and reconstruction are not undertaken — a potentially crippling impact on personal travel and freight movement.
Who will pay the tab?
The funds to repair bridges come mostly from gas taxes at the federal and state levels, from property or other taxes at the local level, and state and local bonding. The $1.3 billion Oregon Transportation Investment Act III (OTIA III) program, passed in 2003, repaired many critical structurally deficient bridges. But it did so by selling bonds that the state now must pay off with current revenues, reducing the funding available to repair other aging bridges today that the program did not address.
Federal dollars are flat or falling; the federal tax has lost about a third of its value to inflation since it was last raised in 1993. The situation is worse at the local level. No federal money is dedicated to repairing local bridges — and the federal contributions that once helped address the backlog are shrinking.

text: After reading the latest manga I noticed Sasori did not come back with any of his puppets which sucked. So this got me thinking everyone comes back with their original bodies so what about Itachi will he be able to use Mongekyo or even sharingan or will he be completely blind. I only say this because now that Sasuke has his eyes it doesent make sense that he could also have them. I suppose the same goes for Nagato since Tobi/Madara took the Rinnegan or at least one. So tell me what you think, what condition will Itachi be in now?

Grand Canyon State change
TUCSON -- The Arizona quarter is out and looks great. We should all be proud. Many states have attractive quarters, but ours is the best design so far. Great job by Gov. Napolitano and everyone who helped make it a reality.
Too bad our money won't buy much in this bad economy with prices on fuel, food and other essentials rising so fast.
With the Grand Canyon, Saguaro and desert design, Arizona joins the majority of states which have picked a natural or scenic image for their quarter.
I'm glad McCain and Bush/Cheney didn't get to pick the state quarter designs, as most would likely depict harmful oil & gas drilling on America's fragile public lands and waters.

Evaluation of the Design Metric to Reduce the Number of Defects in Software Development
Software design is one of the most important and key activities in the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phase that ensures the quality of software. Different key areas of design are very vital to be taken into consideration while designing software. Software design describes how the software system is decomposed and managed in smaller components. Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm has facilitated software industry with more reliable and manageable software and its design. The quality of the software design can be measured through different metrics such as Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) design metrics, Mood Metrics & Lorenz and Kidd metrics. CK metrics is one of the oldest and most reliable metrics among all metrics available to software industry to evaluate OO design.

DP released around a silly-on compilation albums, which is totally stupid considering that most of them are made, in the 90%, of the same songs. You can get: Hush, Kentucky Woman, Hallelujah, Black Night, Speed King, Child in Time, Fireball, Strange Kind of Woman, Smoke on the Water, Highway Star, Lazy, Woman From Tokyo, Burn, Mistreated, Stormbringer, Soldier of Fortune, You Keep on Moving and stuff.
If lucky, in the new kinda of compilation albums you can get eighties Purple and maybe a couple of songs from the nineties and nowadays. It's almost pointless for the collectors to agree with this kind of non-sensical way to waste compilation albums away.
As a whole, I would strongly recommend to the Metal Archives user to buy DP albums (specially the holy heavy metal trinity: In Rock, Fireball, Machine Head; the brilliant Burn and the masterful Perfect Strangers with a nice touch of Made in Japan) instead of the compilations BUT this one.
Purple Passages is the finest compilation album ever released by DP. And it is a good one because you get all the important facts concerning the "Roundabout" MK I. The most important covers they've made with their best songs (not too many) composed in the 1968-1969 period. I can't add more to this, it's a total fair and safe purchase if you liike embryonary Deep Purple, if you can enjoy psychodelic progressive sixties rock and if you are a fan of Evans, as well.
You can get your "have it or die" stock of DP albums (the ones I cited above, maybe a couple more) and, to kill three birds in one shot, get this one for having almost the core notions of DP MK I. No more needed to be added.

Thrillcall reviewed: Kylie Minogue @ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
The day began like any other weekend concert day at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium… wait. Scratch that. Throngs of devoted followers of the modern-day Aprhodite that was to perform that night waited outside from the wee hours of the morning to secure a primo spot in line, just to get close to the songstress on stage. I'm speaking of Kylie Minogue, of course, who recently paid a visit to San Francisco on her Aphrodite tour. Hyped as one of the concert events of the summer, Minogue spared no expense (nor did she spare a single sequin) crafting the stage show. Centered around the greek mythos of the goddess Aphrodite, the stage was littered with marble columns, dancers with massive angel wings, and acrobatics galore. Kylie herself had to have gone through at least a dozen costume changes, seemingly one for close toevery single song on her set. The setlist for the evening contained many of her hits such as "Can't Get You Out Of My Head," and "Come Into My World," as well as songs off her new album (aptly titled "Aphrodite") like "All The Lovers," "Better Than Today," and "Higher." Minogue kept the crowd whipped into a frenzy with her impeccable timing of highs and lows, leaving them constantly wanting more. The one disappointment of the evening: she did not perform the very first song I ever heard by her. A little ditty in the 80′s called "Locomotion." C'est la vie, it was a magical night to remember, one that was not easily shaken off as I stepped out into the crisp San Francisco air.

Taubman Centers, Inc. (TCO - Free Report) , a real estate investment trust (REIT), reported first quarter 2011 FFO (funds from operations) of 63 cents per share compared to 60 cents in the year-earlier quarter. Funds from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income, while adjusted FFO excludes the impairment and restructuring charges.
The first quarter 2011 reported FFO beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents. The quarterly FFO per share included a non-cash charge of 6 cents relating to the ownership of The Pier Shops at Atlantic City, New Jersey. Excluding the non-recurring charges, adjusted FFO was 68 cents per share.
Total revenues during the reported quarter were $155.5 million compared to $151.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Occupancy of the entire portfolio decreased marginally to 87.9% at quarter-end from 88.2% in the year-earlier period.
Average rents in the overall portfolio were $45.20 per square foot, compared to $43.68 in the year-ago quarter. Mall tenant sales per square foot increased 14.3% year-over-year during the quarter. On a trailing 12-month basis, mall tenant sales were $581 per square foot.
Taubman has one of the strongest balance sheets in its sector. The company has moderate debt maturities in 2011. During first quarter 2011, the company completed the previously announced one-year extension of its $550 million line of credit with its existing 12-bank syndicate. Furthermore, Taubman had $21.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end, providing it with additional flexibility.
Taubman has increased its earlier FFO guidance for full year 2011 in the range of $2.88 to $2.98 per share from $2.86 to $2.98. We think Taubman is better positioned than many of its competitors due to its clean balance sheet and minimal debt maturity. In addition, the current dividend at 44 cents per share appears safe and the company is covering the payout with operating cash.
We maintain our 'Neutral' recommendation on Taubman, which presently has a Zacks #3 Rank that translates into a short-term 'Hold' rating. We also have a 'Neutral' recommendation and a Zacks #3 Rank for Equity One Inc. , a peer of Taubman.

Summer might finally be here, but it's no fun for some of our teens and tweens. May and June is exam time. There's SATs and the dreaded secondary transfer for our year 6s, something I remember only too well from last year (I'm so glad it's another two years before I have to go through that worry again).
And for our teenagers there's A Levels, AS Levels and GCSEs. I feel for them, it's not an easy time. And I feel for their parents too! Parents live it and breathe it along with their kids – whether or not their kids want them to.
So what have our Britmums teens and tweens – and their parents – been up to over the last month?
Tas at Notmyyearoff has got a toddler. So what's she doing on the teen and tween round-up? Because her husband has been protecting their older nieces and nephews from potential internet harm and I for one thought the tips were very useful to share with parents of older children.
I just had to include this poem by Bethany, Jaime's daughter from The Olivers Madhouse It shows just how much self-awareness and understanding young people have and I found it moving to have a little insight into what is going on in Bethany's head. And fair play to Jaime, for wanting me to share the other side of Bethany with the world's biggest meltdown over a black bra. As the mum of a boy of the same age, I'm only too aware of how bad tween tantrums can be.
Another tween girl who has been testing the boundaries is Instinctive Mum's daughter. Because it turned out there were no boundaries to test! So mum and daughter worked together to come up with some rules and her behaviour improved dramatically. I've been really inspired by the simplicity of this.
Sport is so important to tweens and teens and, as a touchline mum, I love to read posts by Touchline Dad. This post on how his son took his own difficult decisions about his footballing career really moved me.
Juggle Mum has been gradually giving her 10 year old daughter a bit more freedom and indpendence in a safe environment. It's good to work up to this slowly at a rate you can both handle.
Claire at Life, Ninja Killer Cat has a fail-safe way of dealing with tweens and getting them to confess to their sins – just tell them you know stuff and know people who will grass them up and they confess just like that! I've noted that one right down!
Over at Mum of Three World I usually bring you posts about my eldest as he sails the tricky path of life in year 7 and early adolescence. But this month I'm sharing a story about my younger son, who is 9. It might seem like a small thing, but it really hit me that my little boy is growing up and making his own choices.
Something momentous has happened over at 3 Children and It – Tween 1 has become The Teen. Suzanne shares a moving post with us about this milestone and her amazing daughter.
Life with my three kids is unpredictable, but Izzie Anderton shares with us a typical untypical day with teenagers – they disappear, they take the car, they leave havoc in their wake… I'm sure other parents of teenagers recognise this all too well.
She's better known for writing about politics, her toddler and biscuits (!), but Sonya at Rocknrollmum also has a teenage daughter. This month she bravely let her get on a coach and head to London to see a band. It's scary to watch your baby spread their wings for the first time.
It's something I'm sure we would all prefer not to think about, but teenagers have sex. And sex can make girls pregnant. And it can spread unwanted diseases. So well done to Suzanne at Chicken Ruby for taking a really responsible attitude and buying condoms for her teenagers I hope I can be as relaxed and responsible when my time comes!
Pink Oddy's eldest son has Aspergers. I'm sure we can all relate to teenagers who think the cupboards magically re-stock themselves, but teenagers with Aspergers struggle more with life skills than other teens. That's why she is taking the time to teach him to shop, plan and prepare meals.
And finally… I will leave you with a laugh (unless you too have teenagers doing exams RIGHT NOW). Mark at Best Dad I Can Be has been learning how to handle his daughter while she does her exams – and it seems he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. So he's walking on eggshells.
If you've blogged about teens or tweens lately, why not add your post to the linky below? It's a great opportunity to pick up new readers and find some new blogs to read. Otherwise, same time next month for more from the unpredictable world of teens and tweens.
About Sarah Wood
Sarah is mum to a teenage boy and a tween boy and girl. When it comes to primary school stuff, she's got it sussed. But she's realising that as secondary school and puberty hit, she's still got a lot to learn! Between tweeting, blogging and parenting, Sarah is a freelance PR and copywriter, who still finds time to run long distances and eat a lot of chocolate. It doesn't leave much time for housework.

Mayor Clayton is always excited about Easter, but this year Starwood Vacation Ownership made the Mayor hop with even more joy! Thanks to Starwood, the precious children of the Village awoke on Sunday morning to find a special surprise on their Villa doorstep.
A team of more than 900 Starwood associates from their Orlando-based office collected toys, puzzles, stuffed animals and candy, competing to see which department could assemble the most Easter Baskets. The Owner Services department held the previous title and made it a point to outdo last year's numbers. The company's friendly competition resulted in an impressive 500 Easter Baskets delivered to the Village.
Generosity and giving back is an important part of Starwood's culture, and Give Kids The World is honored to be a part of the largest donation drive the company holds annually. Thank you, Starwood Vacation Ownership for making Easter at the Village a treat.

Rox get best of Strasburg in series opener
Rox get best of Strasburg in series opener
DENVER -- It's a strange time for Rockies second baseman Marco Scutaro. A day after accidentally staggering off a base and being tagged out to kill a key rally, Scutaro was staggered by a Stephen Strasburg fastball to the head on Monday night to begin a game-turning rally in a 4-2 victory over the Nationals before a Coors Field crowd of 40,177 that sat through record heat. The game-time temperature of 100 degrees was a record for the 20-year-old Rockies. It came when the daytime high at Denver International Airport was a record-tying 105.
Dexter Fowler -- who singled behind Wilin Rosario's double for a third-inning run -- tripled off Strasburg to open the sixth, then Strasburg uncorked a 95 mph pitch that hit Scutaro in the batting helmet. Scutaro was able to stand, but Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger didn't let him continue, and Chris Nelson replaced him. Scutaro was able to walk to the dugout. A club official reported that Scutaro said he was "fine" after the game, and his status is listed as day-to-day. Carlos Gonzalez followed Scutaro's beaning with a single to tie the game at 2-2. Michael Cuddyer singled to load the bases, and Todd Helton's sacrifice fly put the Rockies ahead to stay.
The inning marred what looked like a big evening for Strasburg (9-2), who struck out eight, but gave up three runs on six hits for the National League East-leading Nationals (41-30).
Helton said he did not believe Strasburg's struggle in the sixth and his accidental plunking of Scutaro were connected."I don't know if that played too much into it, but it gave us an extra base runner," Helton said. "Carlos had a great at-bat, Cuddy had a great at-bat and it gave me the luxury of hitting a pop fly to get a runner in." Strasburg escaped the inning without any further damage. "It happens, part of baseball," Strasburg said. "You try to get in and obviously you never want to hit a guy in the head, but you have to keep going out there and pounding the strike zone. You think about it for a second, and hope he's OK. Once I saw him walk off, I figured he'd be OK." After the shaky sixth, Nationals manager Davey Johnson replaced Strasburg with Tom Gorzelanny. The victory in the opener of a seven-game homestand ended an uncharacteristic home losing streak for the Rockies (28-44) at six games. They came up empty in their last homestand, an Interleague date with the Angels and Athletics June 8-14. "It's always nice to get a win here at home," Fowler said. "We're a dominant team at home and it was obviously disappointing the last time we were here." Nelson, who turned his right ankle on Saturday and did not play on Sunday, singled home Eric Young, who drew a walk from Gorzelanny to open the seventh, making it 4-2. Rockies starter Jeff Francis, mixing an 86 mph fastball with curveballs that floated in at 68 mph, held the Nationals to five hits and two runs in five innings. Francis' five strikeouts included two by Nationals young power hitter Bryce Harper in his Coors Field debut. With the Rockies working with a four-man rotation and 75-pitch limit, manager Jim Tracy removed Francis with the Rockies trailing, 2-1. It was not the best position when facing Strasburg. "Impressive," Francis said. "I left the game and we were losing. There are probably a lot of days in this summer when that game ends 2-1. We did a great job of coming back and scoring some runs on him." Francis has become the poster child for the unusual pitching plan. In his last two starts, he has given up three runs in 10 innings, struck out eight and hasn't walked anyone. He also has ended up with a pair of no-decisions, but the Rockies have won both games. It's certainly a change. Francis threw 215 2/3 regular-season innings and 16 2/3 in the postseason in 2007, when the Rockies won the NL title and bowed to the Red Sox in the World Series. But he is not fighting the strategy. "It's different, for sure," Francis said. "It's not what we're used to. But we're asked to do a job. That's what I was asked to do today. If we can do that, over the long haul, we're going to feel like we're going out there a lot more often." Reliever Josh Roenicke (3-0), who entered leading Major League relievers with 42 1/3 innings pitched, gave up one hit, struck out two and walked one in two scoreless innings. Matt Belisle threw a scoreless eighth with two strikeouts and Rafael Betancourt earned his 12th save in 15 attempts, despite allowing two baserunners with one out. It represented a good start after a 3-6 road trip. "We did enough offensively to win, and pitching is what it boils down to," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – No one has actually walked up to Jordan Lyles and told him he's in the Astros' 2013 starting rotation.
Lyles is a near lock. It's Bud Norris and Lucas Harrell sharing top billing, then Lyles at No. 3.
Coming off a frustrating 2012 season in which he was 5-12 with a gaudy 5.09 ERA, Lyles can at least take heart from a promising September, during which he posted a 3.58 ERA in five starts.
Lyles, 22, possesses five pitches he believes in: four-seam fastball, sinker, cutter, curve and changeup. Harrell believes Lyles rivals Norris for the best stuff among Astros starters. The Astros believe Lyles is another of their many critical keys for 2013 – a young hurler who's yet to burn, a 2008 first-round pick whose best major league days await.
Lyles was often battered in 2012. He allowed at least four earned runs in 11 of his 25 starts, struggled to put down batters the third time through the lineup, and posted a thick 7.82 ERA in his 12 losses.
So until first-year manager Bo Porter or general manager Jeff Luhnow takes the third-year pitcher aside and tells him he's in, Lyles will fire through spring training as if he's out.
"It's a confidence booster, and it would help. But I'm not taking anything for granted," Lyles said Tuesday at Osceola County Stadium. "I'm going to go out there and try to get better and try to put up zeros during the spring."

Men on a Mission
By Megan Kulick | Photo: Photos Courtesy of Ministry of Supply | February 22, 2017
At Ministry of Supply, comfort, sophistication and a bit of daring collide perfectly.
Six years ago, a professor at MIT connected three of his students: Aman Advani, an MBA-seeking management consultant; Gihan Amarasiriwardena, a chemical engineer; and Kit Hickey, an MBA-seeking investment banker. The three were on a mission to create sleek, professional-looking clothes that, like athleticwear, would also allow movement and prevent moisture. In other words: The sort of clothes that could get a guy like James Bond through the most harrowing situation in style.
In fact, Bond inspired the name the partners chose for their store, Ministry of Supply, which recently opened in the 900 North Michigan Shops, the fifth outlet for the Boston-based company. Q, the inventor of Bond's life-saving gadgets, was based on a real person, Charles Fraser-Smith, who fabricated "Q-devices" for the British Ministry of Supply during World War II.
Whether you're a secret agent or just a regular man about Chicago, Ministry's clothes take you from 6am to 10pm. "From commuting to work to grabbing drinks with friends, our clothes get you through it all," says Amarasiriwardena, who serves as chief design officer.
"Our dress shirts [various styles, all $95], for example, are born from space suits," he says. Using a similar technology and material that NASA uses, the shirts absorb body heat when you need to cool off only to release it back when you need a warmup. "It's basically a personal thermostat built into your shirt," Amarasiriwardena explains.
Launched as a small test run, the Seamless jacket ($250) sold out within 48 hours. The jacket is robotically knit by a 3-D machine that creates a one-piece garment free of stitch panels. Subtle vents under the arms add extra durability. "It's like wearing a hug," says Amarasiriwardena. The Going Places jacket and pants (jacket $350, pants $140) look like a structured suit but feel like a sweatsuit. "I wanted to make sure that details like the knees and elbows didn't look stretched out after a lot of movement, so I actually ran a marathon wearing the jacket and pants," he says. "They still looked great after all of those miles." And when the day is done? Simply throw everything in the wash. Ministry discourages ironing and dry cleaning.
Reflecting Ministry's concept that the line between work and life is blurry, the founders refer to their stores as workshops, complete with tables, Wi-Fi and various books to peruse as you accept the mission to shop, focus and simply live. 900 N. Michigan Ave., 3rd Floor, 312. 374.1919

Adriano Galliani believes Jeremy Menez brings 'talent and imagination' to Milan, as he outlines the club's further plans in the transfer market.
Menez has been presented to the media today, following his summer Bosman switch from Paris Saint-Germain.
"He has an important past, he is a player of talent and imagination," Galliani introduced to reporters today.
"He should and can do more than what he has done up to this point. We have also followed him for some time.
"Pippo Inzaghi and I going to Ibiza [to talk with Menez] was supposed to be a secret meeting, but in no time at all we were on all the sites.
"Anyway, the important thing is that he is here now, he was followed by many teams.
"We believe that he will be able to provide a lot of imagination to the Rossoneri attack."
Galliani was asked during Menez's presentation on Milan's other plans in the transfer market.
"We are covered in defence, as well as out wide in attack.
"Then, if by chance someone was to leave, then someone else would come in.
"Mario Balotelli? I do not comment publicly on the relationships with players.
"Some players have already left - we are planning some market sales but also purchases. I think we will have a list of 24-25 players, so let's see.
"Pippo does not want a squad that is too big, and so exits are required from a numerical point of view. Some may arrive, let's see.
"Ideally in my head, for a team that is just playing in the League, an ideal squad will be 23 players plus goalkeepers."
Menez was being presented on the same day as Alex, Michael Agazzi and Michelangelo Albertazzi - of the four, the Rossoneri only paid a transfer fee to buy Verona's 50 per cent share in Albertazzi.
"I love basketball a lot and I would like it there, namely as when one ends their contract, they can decide where to go.
"In my opinion, player contracts will become shorter in the future."

This restaurant always meets or exceeds my expectations, making it my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. The buffet is so varied and delicious that it's unbelievable. The staff are as integral to the successful dining experience as the food. Time and time again I think I'll try a different restaurant only to stick with the tried and true China Lobster. It promises not to disappoint.

Christopher C.wrote a review of The North Face Superlight Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down on October 19, 2011
The bag packed away great. Could really take as much as air out of it as you can press it. The only complaint I had about it is the compression. I used my own dry sack instead. The back was extremely comfortable. I got the large version just for the extra room to put clothes down there and such to keep warm. The top also forms very well around your head. I thrash around a lot at night in my sleep and the bag had plenty of room for me. Enjoy!

Did you see me? Did you see me? The X-Games in Aspen are live on ESPN through Wednesday. Town is crazy and Buttermilk has been packed with up to ten-thousand spectators each day–all drawn to the glowing, center-stage halfpipe. Man, you should see this thing–probably can see it from space along with the Luxor light in Vegas. Riders say it's got the most potential since the Olympic pipe, and that it might be the best ever.
Women's pipe has gone down, as you know. Should've seen the kids trying to get a peak under Hannah Teter's bib. Stop … she's sixteen. Anyway, Hannah has it. Hasn't she won every pipe event since I saw her in Chile last September? Chick knows how to turn it on. Kelly Clark was going huge in practice–bigger than anyone. Less-experienced girls fumbled under the lights and the pressure. Shit was brutal for a while, 'cause half of the ten didn't make more than four hits before washing out on their heel edges–forward lean, forward lean, forward lean, and complete your airs. Doriane Vidal is always sweet to watch, though–all long legs and good style.
What made a blown run hard to bear is the concept of an ESPN minute. Now, I'm known to kind of have my own idea about time. I've never been on time in my life–for anything. If I'm early for a flight it's because I missed the one I was originally scheduled on. But damn, live TV can take its toll when you're here to get it in person. Those fifteen-second Reeses spots combined with going back and forth between pipe and snocross (even shredders love the snowmobile racing) can add up to twelve minutes in between riders. Did I mention that it's Colorado, at night?
Live coverage means you could be spooning on a bearskin rug in your own home with a kettle of Orville Redenbacher and Linus' blanket while I enjoy the sensation of six-degree air in my lungs–and we'll probably know the results at exactly the same time. But then, you wouldn't know what it's like to watch Ross Powers boost to the beat of a two-stroke, and you won't be at the FHM party tonight, will you?
Men and women's slopestyle have also played. Shaun White is as predictable as Hannah Teter, only in both slope and pipe. That's saying something, 'cause the men's field has mad depth. Danny Kass and Andreas Wiig took the silver and bronze medals. The slope course wasn't big, but riders got tech–S-dub made three nines during his run. Sorry I don't have any digi shots of this, there's a lot going on at once. Check the mag next fall when the film gets developed.
Janna Meyen rocked the women's slope–fucking killing it lately, huh? She pocketed her third check in a week, after claiming both prizes at Vail's Session last week.
So, sick shredding going down here. Super-legit event and everyone is in town for it. Aspen itself is going O.F.F. Tomorrow I'll confirm that talk about the Chair Three liftie and I'll try to bring you more of what you can't see on TV. Tune into ESPN Monday night (tonight) for men's pipe finals.

Copper has been on a tear since early summer, jumping 24 per cent in the third quarter alone, and several analysts are betting its bullish days are far from over. Not only will the red metal benefit from greater demand as global economies recover, but the supply pipeline is looking limited. The International Copper Study Group (ICSG) recently said it expects the global market for refined copper to swing into a 400,000-tonne deficit for 2011.
Analysts are upgrading both their forecasts for the copper price and some producers. Today, Jennings Capital Inc. analyst Peter Campbell raised his 2011 copper price forecast to $3.50 (U.S.) per pound from $2.98 while raising his outlook for Taseko Mines Ltd. .
"Our view of the copper market is that there is no significant new supply of copper ready to meet the demand of increased economic activity projected by the ICSG," Mr. Campbell said in a research note. "In fact, many of the world's largest copper producers face declining production due to lower grades and aging operations, exacerbating an already tight supply situation."
Taseko currently produces copper and molybdenum from its Gibraltar Mine in British Columbia and plans to develop the Prosperity copper-gold project in the same province. Mr. Campbell said the miner is now beginning to realize production increases from mill improvements it has been working on since 2006, and federal approval for the its Prosperity project should come any day.
Upside: Mr. Campbell hiked his 12-month target price by $2 to $9 a share and continues to recommend the stock as a buy.
Canyon Services Group Inc. , which provides fracturing and chemical stimulation services to oil and natural gas companies, will benefit from strong fundamentals in the Canadian pressure pumping market and its expanding presence in the deep basin areas of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, said RBC Dominion Securities Inc. analyst Dan MacDonald.
Upside: Mr. MacDonald raised his price target by $3 to $10.00
DragonWave Inc. , a provider of high-capacity packet microwave solutions that drive next-generation IP networks, has acquired mobile network infrastructure firm Axerra of Israel for $9.5-million. Chris Umiastowski, analyst with TD Newcrest, said the acquisition "makes excellent strategic sense and carried out at an attractive price for DragonWave investors."
Upside: Mr. Umiastowski upgraded his 12-month price target by $1 to $11.00 a share, and maintained his buy recommendation.
Grande Cache Coal Corp. has decreased its sales guidance range for fiscal 2011 to 1.7 million to 1.9 million tonnes, from 2.0 million to 2.2 million, noted Gary Lampard, analyst with Canaccord Genuity.
Downside: Mr. Lampard cut his target price to $8.40 from $9.50 but maintained his buy recommendation.
Keegan Resources Inc. has released drill results at its Esasse project in West Africa that continue to show high-grade gold mineralization, said Canaccord Genuity analyst Nicholas Campbell.
Upside: Canaccord Genuity, which recently hiked its 2011 gold price forecast by $200 (U.S.) an ounce to $1,400, raised its target on the stock to $12.50 from $11.00.

She in the city, but she from a small town
High heels, tall shots make her fall down
Up late, now she running with the fast crowd
But she calls me every night before she pass out
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna waste my time with girls who rolling they eyelids
Girls who lookin' for a place to stay
Because they came away from Long Island
I don't wanna make your mind up
I'm just tryna make you mine quick
But ever since I put you in my line-up
All I do is choke: Heimlich
Good girl in a bad dress
But ain't nothing really changed but your address
You in the Upper West Side
You were thinking other people
Would've never accepted all your assets?
But I'm Cashis and you cash poor
I'mma give you anything that you ask for
You a small town girl but you living in the city
So you always keep your heart near your passport
[Verse 2]
I don't know what's next for us
But every time I talk it's like I messed it up
People wanna tell me that I'm too honest
Walking on eggshells, two omelettes
And I know it's hard cause you left your town
Dad don't call like he let you down
You don't wanna talk when the sun is out
But if we get a little drunk, then it's all allowed
And the truth comes down, it's pouring, pouring
'Bout to drop bombs like Warren, Moon
Color of your skin be orange, orange
Aren't you the girl that I met last June?
Who was so damn fun man, where did she go?
On vacation, Puerto Rico
Grand Theft Auto in your heart like Niko
Trying to meet your mother like I'm Jason Segel
[Verse 3]
I can take you anywhere on a map
I can make it all good
You can make me come back
You keep movin', I can find you on the map
I can take you back home
You can make me unpack
You in Atlanta, but you from a small town
You in Chicago, but you from a small town
You move to LA, but you from a small town
You live in Brooklyn but I know you from a small town
"Small Town" tells the story of a small town girl living in the city, who manages to become the object of Hoodie's affection.

Is it static, or is it sticky Twins? For static, I suggest a Bounce (or any brand really) Dryer sheet. Wipe the plastic down with it like it was a paper towel. Of course, now that I rememer you're dealing with powder not the paper I was fighting when learning about dryer sheets and static, I might also suggest then wiping off the plastic with a paper towel to get rid of any residue from the dryer sheet until a chem. professor can weigh in...
if it's sticky, try some of the Hornady One shot cleaner. I just ran that stuf on my new Hornady dies, the All-Purpose Tool with the 4x whatever and Dynaglide, not the case lube or the gun cleaner, and it worked pretty well for me.
And that's right, if it aint red, it stays in the shed, and that's what makes you Mr Awesome

Let's be honest here: the problem is you. Not your dog. You. Your dog is a damn dog, maybe even a bitch. You? You've got great intentions, but around your dog, you're like a 58-year-old ex-alcoholic who suddenly finds himself drunk again and holding the keys to the world's most-powerful military.
You treat your dog like a person, y'idiot, and the result is a dog that acts the way dogs would act on The O.C. if The O.C. featured real dogs and not just Julie Cooper.
(Stories abound, by the way—and I'm not saying they're true, only that they ought to be—that Trinity Broadcasting Network's Jan Crouch used to hand-feed her magenta-dyed poodle at a famous South Coast Metro eatery. And we wonder why husband Paul is gay?!)
The problem with your barking, gagging, shedding, biting, leg-humping, pissing, runaway, slobbering, randomly defecating dog, we say, is you. And so we turn to Kathy Morris, a co-owner of Jump Start Dog Sports. When Morris begins talking about the bond between humans and dogs, you get this image of a new species, canis erectus, standing upright in a circle around a kind of glowing orb like the sun or some utopia too bright to see clearly, paw in doughy-fisted paw with their human "partners," as Morris calls dog owners, the whole group of them singing like the Whos' "Welcome Christmas" in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
It's what the hip-hop nation calls "positivity": Jump Start Dog Sports' 18 instructors teach 85 classes per week at a sprawling, campus-like training center in Yorba Linda, and not one of those classes involves kicking, yelling or choke chains. Dog owners—from as far as Oceanside and LA—come (as the center's motto has it) to build a bridge of trust between themselves and their dogs.
The engineering of that bridge has to do with re-education.
"Dogs don't come with rule books," Morris says. "They mostly want to please their owners."
She pauses over the word "please," and then points out that dogs don't come with values or human motives, either, but "live very much in the moment, repeating those things that got them attention."

She says, by way of example, that dogs who repeatedly jump on their masters may get pushed away. In human terms, the dog has just been told to go away; but in the dog world—where all dogs and a few humans we've dated live—"he's getting attention," Morris observes, "because you're touching him." So the jumping continues. The key, she says, is to "redirect natural behaviors into something we both like. Left alone in the back yard, that's not going to happen."
Jump Start Dog Sports classes begin for puppies just 10 weeks old (that's when they've had their shots), but it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks: Morris has hosted 11-year-olds.
"The difficulty there," she says, "is undoing what they already know at that age." Just like humans.

Events like this are not only a lot of fun for us, but are a great service in giving something back to our customers.
(PRWEB) June 19, 2013
As part of their commitment to building better communities, members of the pest and termite control company, U.S. Pest Protection, took some time out of their day to encourage kids to get excited about learning. During the program kids and their families where introduced to several examples of interesting pinned bugs and were also given the opportunity to engage in some educational activities. The Gallatin library presentation was one in a handful of upcoming events where U.S. Pest will be reaching out to their communities.
The event attracted around 25 children and their parents. U.S. Pest provided examples of several different species of bugs, including two live brown recluse spiders and a walking stick bug. They also brought along a huge ant farm for kids and their families to explore. At different times throughout the day the termite control company spoke with kids about insects and tested their bug identification knowledge.
A highlight of the day was the "bug hunt." Children were given a jar with a magnifying glass lid and tasked with scouring the library's shelves for plastic bugs hidden amongst the books.
"The kids were really into the presentation, but I think bug scavenger hunt was their favorite part of the day," stated U.S. Pest's Christy Lockwood. "Four of the children received bug vacuums as a special prize. At the end of the hunt every child was given a special sucker with a real cricket sealed inside."
One fearless girl dug into her treat right away, not to be swayed by the bug wrapped inside. Later she would claim that the sucker tasted very good. Every child who participated in the event left the Gallatin Library with a smile and a better understanding of several insects.
"Supporting our community is very important to us here at U.S. Pest," said U.S. Pest President Erica Brister. "We service a large area in Middle Tennessee with offices in Nashville and Hendersonville. Events like this are not only a lot of fun for us, but are a great service in giving something back to our customers."
The presentation at the Gallatin Library was part of a Sumner County library program called "Dig into Reading." Activities are geared towards getting children interested in activities like gardening, crafts and other hobbies. Each event provides an opportunity not only for children, but their parents as well. Adults can gather information on ways in which they can enhance their children's lives through education, reading and making healthy choices. U.S. Pest Protection will be hosting a similar event at the Martin-Curtis Library in Hendersonville on July 9.
About U.S. Pest Protection
For more than 27 years, U.S. Pest has proudly serviced over 15,000 homes around Middle Tennessee and is rated the number one pest and termite company in Tennessee. U.S. Pest Protection offers a wide range of pest and termite control services for commercial and residential customers all across Tennessee with offices in: Nashville and Hendersonville.

No one can be exactly like Jack Bauer. He's too hardcore. You'd kill yourself even if you dreamt that you were Jack Bauer.
You, however, want to be in his likeness. So, I have compiled a handy list for those Jack Bauer wannabes; perfect for a night out on the town or for saving the United States of America from biological or nuclear obliteration.
There are essential items that Jack Bauer wears that contribute to his overall trademark ruggedness and badassness...
Item 1: the Jacket
Jack uses a variety of suave and sophisticated jackets over the 5 days that we've been following him. A personal favorite of mine is the jacket/hoody. After intense deliberation and speculation, a lot of people have claimed that Jack's jacket is the japanese-made: Supreme Water Proof Hooded M65 JKT Black.

I had not intended to write another column about the pedophilia scandal that has, at long last, reached the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church at the highest level. After all–I thought–what more was there to say. Then, on Good Friday, the Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, preaching in St. Peter's Basilica as Pope Benedict XVI looked on in silence, compared attempts to hold the church hierarchy responsible for the long coverup of priestly pedophilia to the persecution of Jews throughout the ages. Jews, declared Father Cantalamessa–whose title is preacher of the papal household–"know from experience what it means to be victims of collective violence, and also because of this they are quick to recognize the recurring symptoms."
I must admit that even though I never expected to be surprised by any display of arrogance and historical amnesia from anyone connected with the Vatican, I was stunned by this attempt to portray members of the church hierarchy as "victims" of attacks based on religious prejudice. There is only one line, from the Book of Job, that does justice to the moral offense committed by that priest and by the church officials who sat there bowing their heads: "Thine own mouth condemneth thee."
Here are two differences between the entirely justified public outrage that is engulfing the Vatican and the historic persecution of Jews. One, the church hierarchy did what it is accused of doing–covered up decades-long acts of sexual molestation committed by some of its priests. The Jews–is it really necessary to say this?–did none of the things of which they were accused. Two, Jews were punished and punished and punished, as well as murdered, for the acts that they did not commit. The Catholic bishops–including Benedict, the current Bishop of Rome–aren't being punished at all for acts they did commit, except in the court of public opinion. And oh, how the Vatican resents the fact that it can't close down the court of public opinion by lashing out at American newspapers (specifically, The New York Times) and at the German and Irish media.
But let us return to the illustrious Father Cantalamessa, who, in his Good Friday sermon, quoted a letter, purportedly written by an anonymous Jewish friend. The friend supposedly wrote, "I am following the violent and concentric attacks against the church, the pope, and all the faithful by the whole world. The use of stereotypes, the passing from personal responsibility and guilt to a collective guilt, remind me of the more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism." One wonders what the less shameful aspects of anti-Semitism might be. If a Jew actually did write this letter, it certainly gives the lie to the (positive) stereotype that all Jews are smart. But the locution "all the faithful" makes me doubt the truth of the attribution; this is not a locution that Jews generally use in regard to believers in other religions. "The faithful" is a very Catholic expression. But perhaps the Jew who supposedly wrote the letter is about to convert to Catholicism in solidarity with the persecuted cardinals and pope. .
The chief rabbi of Rome, Riccardo Di Segni, responded with a great deal of wit and self-discipline. "With a minimum of irony," he noted after reporters read him the text of the remarks made at the service, "I will say that today is Good Friday, when they [Christians] pray that the Lord illumine our [Jewish] hearts so we recognize Jesus. We also pray that the Lord illuminate theirs." Rabbi Di Segni was alluding to a prayer in the traditional Catholic liturgy–Benedict has encouraged its revival in the Latin mass–that prays for the conversion of the Jews.
Kristine Ward, a spokesmen for the National Survivor Advocates Coalition in the United States said bluntly (command of wit and irony being more Italian than American traits), "It is incomprehensible that Father Cantalamessa did this and that Pope Benedict, the ultimate authority in the church who presided at the service, did not stand during the service to disavow this connection to anti-Semitism."
Actually, it isn't the least bit incomprehensible if you understand that Benedict is the ultimate Organization Man. Most of the On Faith panelists who addressed the question of whether Benedict should resign were hobbled by their general respect for religious institutions: they actually think that the problem is this pope rather than the authoritarian structure of the church itself. Richard Dawkins and Tom Flynn, my fellow atheists, got it right. It doesn't matter who the pope is–unless Benedict were to be replaced with someone who was not a member of the church hierarchy for the past few decades. Somehow, I don't think the next pope will be one of the nuns who, untainted by the molestation scandals, have so irked the Vatican by their uppity involvement with the secular world. Everyone responsible for a Catholic diocese during the past 30 years, if he shuffled pedophile priests around from one church to another or just looked the other way, is responsible. Benedict's predecessor, Pope John Paul II, is responsible for appointing most of those bishops. In a way, one could almost feel sorry for Benedict, who has reaped the whirlwind sown by a predecessor who had a much warmer manner and a much cannier sense of public relations than the current pope.
Assigning responsibility to the church hierarchy is the opposite of attributing "collective guilt." The Catholic Church is an institution in which all power and doctrinal authority flow from the top down. The men who have been running that church–not the faithful lay people whom they betrayed–are personally guilty of disregarding the interests of the devout Catholics who look to them (however mistakenly, in my view) for moral authority. The current pope and every bishop who participated in the coverup are all looking for plausible deniability.
After Father Cantalamessa's ignominious sermon, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, produced a hasty statement that the priest was speaking for himself and not representing the official position of the Vatican. That is strange, since L'Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper, published the priest's homily without comment in its Saturday edition. How much more official can anything get? L'Osservatore Romano is to the Vatican as www.whitehouse.gov is to each U.S. president's administration. Father Cantalamessa, in an Easter Sunday interview with the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera, issued one of those classic non-apologetic apologies in which the Vatican specializes: "If, against every intention, I hurt the feelings of Jews and victims of pedophilia, I am truly sorry and apologize." Oh, those touchy Jews and overly sensitive victims of pedophilia! Who could possibly have imagined that they would take offense at being compared to the misunderstood bishops who covered up child molestation?
When I saw the videotape of the sermon, I could only wonder why there is never anyone to stand up and shout, "You lie," when the charge is truly appropriate. ,

WASHINGTON -- The fatal Big Dig tunnel collapse in Boston could have been avoided if authorities had considered that the epoxy securing tons of ceiling panels could slowly pull away, federal investigators concluded Tuesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board approved a report saying the likely cause of the accident that killed a woman was "use of an epoxy anchor adhesive with poor creep resistance" that could not sustain long-term loads.
The board, meeting on the first anniversary of the accident, also issued a series of recommendations, including creation of mandatory tunnel inspection programs similar to those required for bridges.
