Thursday, March 4, 2004 (Snapper Rocks, Gold Coast, Australia) Wildcard LukeMunro (Currumbin, QLD) today caused a major upset in the Quiksilver Propresented by Boost Mobile. Round two elimination heats of the US$260,000World Championship Tournament (WCT) were completed, with conditionsimproving throughout the day.
Messy 4-5 ft (1.5m) surf was on offer at Snapper early this morning, but asthe tide dropped and swell continued to grow, epic barrels began rifflingdown the shallow sandbank.
Munro – a former ASP Australasian Junior champion and two-time QuiksilverPro Trials winner – faced one of the event's toughest opponents in localhero and world #4 Mick Fanning. Despite daunting prospects, the 21-year-oldeased his nerves early on with a near-perfect 9.5-barrel ride to gainadvantage. Fanning then picked off a 7.83 to be well within striking range,but had his job made all the more difficult when the wildcard locked inanother great 8.17 score towards the end and sealed victory.
"Finally made it through round two," exclaimed Munro, who had lost bothprevious Quiksilver Pro campaigns at this point. "I just felt like if I waspatient and waited for the good waves I could do it, but I really didn'twant to get Mick Fanning in a heat out there, so I'm glad to get it out ofthe way (laughs). I knew Mick could pull out a nine, so it was only withabout 30-seconds to go I knew I had it."
Having six-time world champion Kelly Slater (FL, USA) staying at his nearbyhouse and offering a few pointers before the clash seemed to help today, butit will take that and more to overcome his next rival – reigning two-timeworld champ Andy Irons (Kauai, Haw) in round three.
"It's not getting any easier, but now I've made that heat I feel like I cango alright," reasoned Munro. "I'd love to go up against Andy, as he's theworld champ, so I'll be trying to have a win. I watched his heat the otherday and he ripped, but I'll be out there putting in my two waves. I'mfrothing."
Slater – last year's world #2 – headlined the draw this morning againstCalifornian wildcard Dane Reynolds. The Floridian wasted no time in thehighly anticipated clash, and soon gained control with three eight plusscoring rides, while his opponent trailed throughout and ultimately requireda combination of 17.41 points to catch-up.
"I saw these waves barreling behind the rocks so I figured I'd try to getsome, and each time I was in position a good wave came," explained Slater."I was pretty in sync with it, but you can't underestimate anybody here.
"I feel a lot better (now), as that's the first heat I can remember inawhile here where I really felt like the waves coming to me," he added. "Thelast couple of years I felt like I've really fought through heats. I did winthe contest here in '98, but it was real different sandbar then. With thewaves getting bigger I feel good, as my equipment is better (suited) forit."
2002 Quiksilver Pro champion Joel Parkinson (Gold Coast, Aus) ended thebarrel feasting of Quiksilver Trials winner Shaun Gossmann. The former SouthAfrican's performances have been outstanding, but following 'Parko's 9.41tube ride this morning, Gossmann required another near-perfect score of9.97-points.
"I was so lucky," acknowledged Parkinson. "I saw that wave coming and washoping it would have some length to it. I hate first heats, especially thefirst contest of the year, so I'm glad to have that over. I was realdisappointed after losing in round one, but now I think it's good as I'm ona roll.
"Gossmann's a perfect wildcard I reckon," he added. "He's so unknown andpeople are like, 'Who's Shaun Gossmann?' But when you see him surf you knowhe's no pushover. He's only been living here a year or so, but he reallyknows Snapper well and I'm glad I beat him."
Brazilian Marcelo Nunes caused another upset by eliminating 2002 QuiksilverPro runner-up Cory Lopez (FL, USA). Both goofy footers belted their way downthe long righthanders, but iwas Nunes' final 6.83 which swung the decisionhis way. Adding salt into Lopez's wounds was the fact he broke a surfboardnear the start of the exchange and had to ride a back up. Havingre-qualified for the WCT in 2003, the result proved extra satisfying forNunes, who will now face Slater in round three.
"I'm happy cause this is the first contest and I didn't do well in the firstround," said Nunes. "It was hard to find two good waves then, but this placeis great. I didn't do well my first two years on the WCT and had to make itthrough the WQS last year, but I'm so happy to be back here."
Kalani Robb (Haw) put on a blistering performance to overcome an equallycharged Pat O'Connell (CA, USA). The Hawaiian got off to a great start -though he broke a surfboard at the end of his opening 8.33 ride, and thenposted another 7.5 on the replacement next wave for control.
"I got a barrel on my first wave and then did a floater, but when I camedown I could feel the board bust under my feet," said Robb. "It was reallytricky out there and even the local guys have been having a hard time. Thewaves are good and the barrels are there, so I basically made the heat onthat first barrel. I feel lucky."
Danny Wills (Byron Bay, Aus) took out WCT 'Rookie' and former PipelineMaster Bruce Irons (Haw) in another great bout. The former world #3 createda strong lead while his opponent was struggling to pick off a clean ride, ormake it out of some heavy barreling sections. Toward the end Irons did lockin his best wave for a 7.5 score, but still needed another worth 7.74-pointsto advance.
"I had a game plan and just stuck to it," said Wills. "Then I tried to putthe pressure on him. He's a great surfer and I knew it would be a good heat,and the waves are tough, so I'm happy to pull through. I just made sure Igot a lot of waves under my belt and the nerves out of the way."
Luke Egan (Gold Coast, Aus) collected the best single score en-route toeliminating another former world #2 Shane Beschen (CA, USA). The localSnapper surfer emerged from an incredible backhand barrel and posted anear-perfect 9.87 score.
Darren O'Rafferty (Bonny Hills, Aus) posted the highest combined tally ofthe Quiksilver Pro so far in the day's final match against Armando Daltro(Brz). The Australian was in perfect rhythm with the ideal waves, emergingfrom a crazy tube for a near-perfect 9.87 (equally Egan's score), and alsolocked in another 9.0 to convincingly reach round three.
A strong tropical low is moving down the Queensland Coast and the weatherbureau is issuing a severe weather warning for southeast Queensland withdestructive wind gusts to 120 kilometers predicted. 10-12 ft (3-4m) wavesare being forecast for tomorrow's Quiksilver Pro round three action andorganizers are hoping that the southeast winds prevail.
The Torquay 'Time Tunnel' award is again being offered during the QuiksilverPro presented by Boost Mobile, with AUD$5,000 up for gabs to whichever luckysurfer emerges from the longest tube during the competition. With epic wavesexpected throughout the tournament, the bar is definitely going to be raisedwith ridiculously long barrel rides already unfolding. Currently ShaunGossmann leads the charge with an amazing 13-second barrel in round one.
The Quiksilver Pro presented by Boost Mobile is the opening event on the2004 Foster's Association of Surfing Professionals men's World ChampionshipTour (WCT).

How to Hang Siding Like a Pro - Part 1/
Hey everyone! We are finally on our last leg of our 10 month siding project! Turns out things take a little longer when you are unpacking, moving in and taking care of two kiddos. We bought our siding before we ever moved into the house because of the amazing deal we got on it. You can read all about that HERE
Now we've finally gotten our ducks in the row to start our tutorial series that passes what we've learned along to you. We won't lie to you - residing your whole house yourself is not for the feeble hearted, but it IS something you can do. So here we go.
Prep the house for siding.
This assumes that you've already hung your house wrap and are ready to start installing siding. :)
1. Create a straight line
You need to create a straight line all the way around the house. This is done with a transit like this one. There are alot of helpful videos and tutorials already out there on how exactly to do this :)
2. Find your starter strip line:
- Measure from your line created with a transit and find what the lowest point to the top of your foundation is.
- Go up an inch from that, and this is the top of your starter strip.
3. Install your starter strip
- Chalk the line from the measurement above and then put the starter strip on with the top matching your chalk line.
- You'll nail the starter strip in every 16 inches into the studs of the house
4. Install any corners that you have.
Check back for a tutorial on how to install corners and specialized trim
Install your siding
1. Make sure your siding ends are straight
Our siding had staggered ends. Unless you are hanging shake siding like us you should not have this problem and you can skip to the next step. If you ARE working with shake siding, use a carpenter square and draw on edge and use a circular saw or cut it with a pair of tin snips.
2. Clip in the siding to the starter strip
Each peice of siding has a ridge along the bottom that clips into the starter strip, or onto the piece of the siding below it. You want to use a hammer to really make a tight clip between the bottom ridge of the siding piece and the starter strip.
3. Connect siding pieces together.
- On regular siding you need at least one inch of overlap. On the shake siding we were installing it has a measure that will show you how much overlap you need. Your siding should come with instructions in the box that will show you how much overlap you need between sections.
- Each piece of siding has clips that run along the side that slide in. Each brand is a little different in how they are designed to connect (of course, wouldn't want to make it too easy right!?) Again, double check with your instructions to see how.
You can see on our siding the tabs that slide into the other piece.
4. Nail the siding down
- There is a place for nailing the siding across the top of each piece. You'll want to use ___________ nails.
- Drive a nail into every stud. The best way to find the stud is to find the seam of the backer board that's on the house. You can run your hand along the house and should be able to feel the seam. Where that piece meets will be a stud.
- From that backer board seam measure with 16 inches, there's your next stud. Repeat until you run out of house :) Every 16 inches will be a new stud.
- Make sure not to drive the nail tight to the wall. Leave a little bit of room for natural expansion and contraction.
5. Stagger your siding
- Once you run the first row you'll last piece will most likely be cut to fit. You'll want to take the leftover siding from that piece to start your new row. So if you have an 16 foot piece of siding and you cut 4 feet to finish a row, take the 12 foot piece to start your new row.
6. Go get yourself some coffee before you start doing the angled roof parts of the house.
This is where hanging siding can get a little more tricky - but don't worry - you've got this! We'll be back with part 2 soon that will walk you through the whole thing.

"NEVER WORK WITH CHILDREN or animals," goes the actors' saying, and it's excellent advice: No matter how good of an actor you are, you'll always be upstaged by something cute. Or something monstrous, it turns out. That's the humbling lesson learned by every single actor in Godzilla, a movie crammed with immensely talented performers (Bryan Cranston! Elizabeth Olsen! Sally Hawkins! Kin Watanabe!) who never even have a chance of making an impact. No matter how driven and heartbreaking Cranston manages to be, and no matter how carefully Olsen walks the thin line between hope and dread, none of their moments really matter in Godzilla. In fact, there's probably a reason most of Godzilla is told from the perspective of Army explosives expert Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a guy who not only who has the lousy luck of always being wherever Godzilla attacks but also has the good sense to be relentlessly boring. It's almost as if he's wise enough to know that he's in a Godzilla movie—and wise enough to know that in any Godzilla movie, Godzilla is the motherfucking star.
Director Gareth Edwards knows it too, even if he's managed to trick some of the best actors in the world (David Strathairn! Juliette Binoche!) into playing bit parts in Godzilla's return to the big screen. Edwards' Godzilla is a slow burn—almost its entire first half is devoted not to monsters but to people—but by the time the King of the Monsters finally shows up, Edwards shoots him with jaw-dropping majesty and menace, giving scale and soul to a massive, CGI behemoth. Everybody else just cowers around, being reverent and/or terrified: Early on, Watanabe proclaims Godzilla to be an "ancient alpha predator," only to be one-upped in his awe by Hawkins, who calls him "a god, for all intents and purposes."
Given that it lacks both the haunting allegory of Ishirō Honda's 1954 Godzilla and the wit and personality of last year's Pacific Rim, it's a good thing this Godzilla nails the spectacle. And holy shit, does it ever nail the goddamn spectacle: San Francisco gets wrung through the wringer in Godzilla's second half, and while Edwards nods to other, better stories about man overstepping his bounds (both 2001: A Space Odyssey and Jurassic Park get shout-outs), he's more intent on setting monsters loose than saying anything deep. Godzilla punches and tackles and roars and vomits up bright blue fire; Godzilla's screeching enemies swoop and dive and make a mockery of pitiful humanity; planes crash and burn while buildings crumble into dust, just as they've done in seemingly every blockbuster since 9/11. (Notably missing from Godzilla's extended climax are the screaming, fleeing people, tiny as ants, who made the old-school Godzilla feel like a threat to something other than architecture.)
But it's best not to think too much, or even to miss what isn't here: This Godzilla's best moments are its goofiest ones, when Godzilla's fighting and stomping, loudly reminding everybody how awesome he is. He does that quite a bit, thankfully. "Where's Godzilla?" shouts Strathairn at one point. Playing a Navy admiral, Strathairn has his reasons for wanting to find Godzilla. Everybody else is just glad to have him back, upstaging everyone and everything around him.

In The Australian Ugliness, published in 1960, the architect Robin Boyd remembered a meal in a hotel dining room in Yass, New South Wales, served by "a waiter with arms bare to the pits dealing out soup bowls like playing cards round the packed table and responding to my circumspect enquiry about the possibility of a glass of wine with the succinct phrase, 'I think you'll be stiff, mate.'"
If the book is ever reprinted - and it is among the best books about Australian life and culture ever written - one hopes the publisher will not allow this anecdote to stand unrevised. Everyone knows, thanks to publications like "Epicure" in the Melbourne Age and interminable television hash-slinging competitions, that Australia's cuisine has come of age, and that the sunburnt country's hotels and restaurants lead the world in culinary excellence, hospitality etc. Not only that, but they are awash with wine. Had he been travelling today Robin could almost have floated out the door on it. Whatever may have been the case in 1960 cannot be allowed to cast a shadow over the gastronome's paradise we enjoy on our lucky continent today.
Leading cookery writer and culinary authority Stephanie Swill has had the inspired idea of drafting a revised version of Boyd's story, suitable for inclusion in any new edition of The Australian Ugliness (which she feels should be retitled The Australian Beautiness). Substituting herself for Boyd, she writes:
"Motoring from Sydney to Melbourne I decided to sample one of the many five-star restaurants listed in my trusty copy of A Gourmet's Guide to the Hume Highway (ed. S. Swill). I turned off the freeway at Yass, where the historic old Mulcahy's Racing Greyhound Hotel beckoned with its celebrated menu, much praised by contributors to the Guide, of fresh local ingredients imaginatively presented with Provencal flair, Tuscan brio, Thai subtlety, Japanese politeness etc. and last but not least Aussie sophistication.
"In response to my quite uncircumspect enquiry about the possibility of a glass - nay, two glasses, three, a bottle, two bottles - of wine, a beaming waiter with arms bare (and tattooed) to the pits and dark blue singlet with the legend "Say Yes to Yass" produced from the recesses of his khaki shorts a map showing all the "wine regions" into which the district is divided. Within a radius of five kilometres, he told me, there are no fewer than seventeen thousand vineyards, each producing wines that are the envy of the world. Indeed, so keen are locals on their "drop" that the nearby Botanic Gardens and the backyard of the hotel itself have been turned over to viticulture (my waiter particularly recommended a sparkling light white, "Chateau Gullytrap", grown, he told me, in the corner of the yard near the drainage facility of that name between the clothes line and the outside gents').
"For his part, the enlightened patron of the hotel, Phonse Mulcahy, has forbidden the serving of meals without wine and stipulated that as a condition of entry to his dining room all customers must sample a minimum of twenty Yass vintages. Very civilised.
"With a cheery 'there yer go' from the waiter, the menu arrived (a little stickier to the touch than I am used to) and I turned to the pleasant task of ordering from a veritable cornucopia of genuine Australian country dishes, from eucalyptus lasagne and Boston baked beans with sugar ants to "campfire-grilled" wallaby kassler, koala-mince moussaka and Moreton Bay fig tarte tatin. There was also a sumptuous list of locally made cheeses, from which the waiter suggested as particularly fine a double sheepdip-washed roquefort he said was ripening in the meat safe outside and the aroma of which I was sure I could detect even at my table.
"Gazing around the tastefully rustic dining room with its interesting framed photographs of 1950s football teams and in the not too distant background the traditional dulcet tones, so beloved of country folk, of a race caller on the huge television in the bar sounding as though he were about to have apoplexy, I reflected with pride how far fine dining in Australia has progressed from the days of bare-armed waiters dealing out soup bowls like playing cards.
"My reverie was interrupted by a dispute at a far table. An inconsequential little man, who looked as if he wouldn't know the first thing about good food, was raising his voice to the waiter. 'I said I'd like a cup of tea,' he cried. 'And I said you'll be stiff, mate,' replied the waiter. 'This is a gourmet restaurong. Tea, unless it's rose hip, wildflower or wattle, isn't part of Australia's new sophisticated international cuisine. Yer drink wine here and like it or yer sod off.'
"'Bravo!' I called to the waiter in my impeccable Italian, acquired on my many visits to that country with its wonderful history of food. 'It's people like you who are upholding the standards of hospitality and service which make Australian dining so unique. A cup of tea indeed!'
"The waiter looked across at me. 'Are you deaf or somethink? I said no tea here, grandma. I just told this dickhead. If you want to take the mickey why don't youse pay yer bill and piss off before I kick yer out, you old bat.'"

163- Agreed. Guys all bitch and give each other sympathy when one of them gets friend-zoned, but when a girl gets friend zoned it's one of the "best compliments". However, this girl should still consider herself lucky to have good friends like this. If she likes one of them in particular she could try spending time with him alone and maybe he will begin to consider her as more than just a friend.

you're probably ugly and shouldn't have asked that...but if you're attractive he should've replied "I would fuck the shit out of you"

... you can say "fuck." FUCK!(: See...

I understand your pain. I have lots of guy friends, and I know it's good for them to respect you, and consider you "one of the guys", just like the other posters have said. Having good guy friends is wonderful. BUT it can get annoying, that no matter what, you always end up being "one of the guys". Eventually, you want to date or something. When you go to your guy friends for help, they refuse to give any because they "can't see you that way." Sometimes, a girl, even if she is totally awesome and loves to talk about balls with you all day, just needs to get laid!

They are friends. Y'all are whores. That's a compliment that guys are close so y'all are close. Most of them see: ass ass ass. They see: Good friend I can trust I don't even have to tell her she knows but she's getting slutty maybe she is only ass.
By yoursavinggrace | 0
Story of my life. But it's a good thing, not FML. They see you for your personality, and if you do like one of them as more than a friend, all you have to do is flirt more until they realize youre interested. :] Honestly, if you guys have one of those semi-flirty friendships then they obviously find you attractive. You have nothing to worry about.

One bite, two dogs, three court dates and several red faces
Woof Woof has finally been vindicated after an almost year-long, tortuous journey through the labyrinth of Hong Kong's mind-boggling bureaucracy.
Readers with long memories might recall that I first wrote about the Woof Woof saga last December. Names then, as now, were changed to protect the innocent and the hapless, which include far too many public officials only 'doing their job'.
To briefly recap: Woof Woof bit Dopey, the neighbour's dog. Dopey's owner responded by calling in the police who arrived in impressive numbers but quickly realised that this was a matter for the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, which plunged into the case with considerable vigour, photographing the scene of the alleged crime, conducting exhaustive interviews and finally launching prosecutions against both parties for failing to keep a large dog under control in a public place. That place being the private land outside the front door of Woof Woof's hapless owner.
Taxpayers' money was strewn about with abandon as officials bustled around in chauffeur-driven cars during their investigations, small mountains of paperwork were generated and, as the saga reached the courts, another squad of people were drafted in, including two sets of translators to help the foreign domestic helpers who were in court, one as a witness and one as a defendant.
The total cost of this to taxpayers remains unknown and there has still been no reckoning of the indirect costs to those involved who had to attend one court hearing and two - yes, two - trials.
Woof Woof's owner was not charged with failing to rein in the hound, as the fine people from the agriculture department decided it would be better to persecute his helper. However, Dopey's owner, much to her surprise, was charged with the same offence. For reasons that remain unclear but turned out to be even more costly, the Dopey case was heard first and resulted in an acquittal.
It might be imagined that, at this point, the department's legal experts would have looked again at the pending case and decided to withdraw, especially as they had by then been furnished with information that the incident - which lasted all of about 30 seconds - took place on a piece of land rented by Woof Woof's owner.
But, no, they wanted their extra day in court. After some four hours, during which only one prosecution witness was heard, her somewhat surprising evidence resulted in the department representative deciding to apply to the judge to drop the case.
There are a couple of positive aspects to this farrago. The first is that once this ridiculous matter finally got to court, justice and good sense prevailed. This means that the legal system works, albeit tortuously and at no small expense. The second is that the officials involved in the prosecution had the grace to be shame-faced and were sheepish in their pursuit of the matter.
However, they kept insisting that they had to do what they were doing because that was the way the system worked. Unsaid but strongly implied was the fact that it was easier to go through this charade than to settle it with a strong dose of common sense outside the strict confines of the rule book.
It appears that discretion and flexibility are dangerous commodities in this organisation where applying rules to the letter is what makes for a glittering career. An official who tries to apply common sense is overwhelmed by fear of the consequences for having deviated from the rules. There are no rewards for anything that smacks of initiative.
So, good people are forced into line even though many of them know that the system is broken. There is no way for individuals to fix it; this requires action from above. However, in Hong Kong's distinctly curious system of government, the very people who are creatures of the bureaucracy also form the political leadership. They are so thoroughly immersed in the system that they can barely see outside.
Meanwhile, Woof Woof and his friends live to fight another day. It is of little comfort to know that others will also face nonsense of this kind; only a creeping sense of despair remains.

Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra announces 24th season
Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra announces 24th season
The Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra announces their 24th concert season. The KSO, directed by Arthur Montzka, offers an exciting line-up for the 2001-2002 season including two guest conductors and splendid soloists. Recipient of the 1996 Distinguished Service Award from the Illinois American String Teachers Association, Montzka brings his conducting talents to the orchestra for his 22nd season. The KSO is a community orchestra which serves all of DeKalb County and the surrounding area. It consists of professional, student and dedicated amateur musicians.
The 2001-2002 season begins October 7, when the Orchestra welcomes John D. Smith as guest conductor. Smith is no stranger to the KSO, having played trombone since their first concerts more than 20 years ago. Today he is the KSOs principal trombonist, a member of the Shananigans, and recently completed 38 years teaching band instruments to children and young adults. He designed this concert, entitled Pops Meet the Classics. It highlights the classic music from south of the border, including a mariachi band, and big-band sound.
The Fall Concert on Nov. 18 features youth soloists Anna Burden on cello and Lisa Steltenpohl on viola. Both young ladies are winners of the 2001 Young Artists Concerto Competition held this past April. The DeKalb Festival Chorus, directed by Judy OConnor, will also perform Haydns Mass in G.
On March 3, the Winter Concert welcomes the return of Linc Smelser as guest conductor. Smelser is principal cellist of the KSO, a member of the Grant Park Symphony, Rockford Symphony, the Chicago Sinfonietta, and an active substitute for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. William Koehler, professor of music at NIU, will be featured on the piano.
The April 28 Young Artists Competition Concert, partially sponsored by the Mary E. Stevens Concert Trust, features the 15th annual Concerto Competition winners as distinguished soloists. Musicians through age 18 who live within a 75-mile radius of DeKalb are eligible.
The Pops, Fall and Young Artists concerts will be held Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m. at DeKalbs historic Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St. The Winter Concert on March 3 will be held at NIUs Boutell Concert Hall.
Season tickets are on sale now. Ticket prices include all four concerts for the entire season. Season ticket subscription rates are: Family $50 Adult $25, Senior $15, Students and Children Under 12, $15. Send your order to Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra, P.O. Box 310, DeKalb, IL 60115.

If you like to get your last minute holiday shopping done at Parkdale Mall in Beaumont, some traffic relief may be on the way...at least in 2014.
The city of Beaumont plans to build a new road that would help open 500 acres of land up to development. The new road will be called Northwest Parkway, and will link North Major Drive and Folsom Drive to Parkdale Mall.
12 News spoke with area businesses about how holiday traffic affects them.
The traffic in front of Magic Carwash on Eastex Freeway by Parkdale Mall is at an ideal pace for owner Rory Prince.
"Then, during the holidays when everyone's excited about getting to the mall it can get really congested," Prince says.
Those who shop at the mall on a regular basis can vouch for that.
One mall shopper said, "Around Christmastime it's even worse because you have people trying to make it here to do their shopping, as opposed to doing it online, and it's absolutely, astronomically bad."
Regarding traffic, Prince told us, "You would think that it would affect us in a positive way because we have more traffic coming by, but actually it impacts us negatively because people know that the exits are packed, therefore they don't want to go through that hassle."
Prince says during the holiday season traffic is so bad that cars are backed up starting at the Dowlen Road stoplight reaching all the way to the exit.
But not every business in the area thinks the congestion hurts.
"When people are stopped there, they're looking around at surrounding businesses, taking up time until the light turns green so it's not bad and we really like it," sales manager of Z-Tech Auto Body Destiny Moore said Tuesday afternoon.
So now that the city plans to build a new road linking North Major Drive and Folsom Drive to the mall, which may help alleviate some of that traffic, what do these business managers think? Good idea or bad idea?
"I think a little bit of both," said Moore.
Prince thinks it will help.
The road is estimated to cost about $6 million. The city plans to pay for it using funds from natural gas drilling at the Beaumont Municipal Airport.

San Marino v Germany – Friday 19:45, Sky Interactive
Following their 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland, Germany are one of only four European teams to have a 100% record after three games in qualification. Much tougher tasks lie ahead than a trip to San Marino, so expect Joachim Low to use this as an opportunity to experiment with his squad.
San Marino's goal to make it 1-1 in their away match in Norway was possibly the best moment of these qualifiers to date, with an enormous reaction to it on social media. Although they went on to lose 4-1, by their usual standards nine goals conceded (and that one scored) from their first three represents a decent return.
Whomever Low chooses to start will be delighted as this will be a fantastic opportunity for them to fill their boots. The last time Germany visited San Marino was in 2008 where it finished 13-0, but since then San Marino have lost only two of their 30 home games by more than six goals. As a result, we'll back the minnows on the +7 handicap against what won't be a full strength German side.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus

How Electric Spiralizer Can Save Time
Vegetables are boring; meats are delicious - you are conditioned to think like this, and you are not alone. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that just 27 per cent people eat the recommended daily intake of vegetables. When you don't eat veggies, your body is not getting the nutrients it requires to function optimally. As a result, you can end up with health conditions, like obesity, skin problems, digestive issues and cardiovascular disease. Thankfully, you have nothing to worry if you invest in an electric spiralizer. Not only will it save you time, it also makes vegetables and fruits more interesting and appetizing.
Why Electric Spiralizer?
If you opt for a manual spiralizer, you will need to use some elbow grease. With one hand, you would have crank the spiralizer handle while with the other hand, you would have to push the veggie or fruit into the chute. This takes effort and time, making the entire process of spiralizing convoluted and time-consume. It can be tedious to use a manual spiralizer, taking away the fun and excitement of seeing colorful zoodles and faux fettuccine.
You can do away with all these issues by investing in the best electric spiralizer. Not only will it save time, it makes the entire process of spiralizing simple, effortless and convenient. The motor and the blades do all the work for you, as long as you make sure the fruits and vegetables you are spiralizing are flat at both ends and broad enough to fit into the chute of the spiralizer. You can even select the spiralizing speed, depending on the make and model of the gadget. With minimal effort, the vegetable or fruit will turn into appetizing and gorgeous-looking twirly ribbons, faux-noodles, and faux-fettuccine.
As a safety precaution, most spiralizers stop the moment there is approximately 1/4-inch of the food remaining. You can keep these pieces to make snacks and sandwiches at a later time.
Advantages of an Electric Spiralizer
If you are wondering whether you should invest in an electric spiralizer, here are some health benefits that will convince you.
- Weight Loss: Spiralizing vegetables allows you to create faux-noodles and -pasta that have (nearly) the same consistency and texture like regular noodles and pasta. This will create an illusion that you are actually eating carb-filled foods when you are not. As a result, you will begin losing weight; you will be consuming fiber-rich diet that will keep you satiated for a longer period of time, doing away the need to snack in between meals.
- Child-Friendly Gadget: For children, it can be miraculous and fun to see vegetables and fruits automatically turn into ribbons, spirals and twirls. Electric spiralizers are safe and you can allow your child to try their hands at spiralizing under your supervision.
- Gluten-Free Diet: If you have gluten sensitivity, you will love using the spiralizer. You can eat all the noodles and pasta you want without triggering your sensitivity. This will ensure you get the nutrients your body needs to facilitate healing.
- More Fruits and Vegetable Consumption: Spiralized foods look attractive and sumptuous and as a result, you can easily consume fruits and veggies without screwing up your nose. Also, with a little bit of creativity, you can include them into your daily diet, so that you increase your intake of fruits and veggies without noticing or realizing it.
There is no doubt that electric spiralizers are more convenient than manual spiralizers. They save time, allow you to turn creative while cooking, and ensure you and your family consume healthy, nutrient-laden meals.

Sexy Veena Malik, the Pakistani actress who has made India her home, is all set to play the lead role of the late 'Silk' Smitha in the Kannada remake version of the Bollywood super-hit film The Dirty Picture directed by Milan Luthria which had the Palakkad-born Vidya Balan essaying the lead role and winning the coveted national award for 'best actress'.
Known for super-sexy image and some controversial topless pictures, Veena is said to be an ideal bet to portray the life of Smitha, who was Kollywood's eternal 'item girl' till she committed suicide in the mid-nineties. Titled as The Dirty Picture: Silk Hot Maha, the film will be directed by Trishul. He said that he had been trying to cast Veena for the past 4-5 months but could confirm her call-sheets for the film only recently.
"The Hindi version didn't narrate Smitha's life as it was….I plan to incorporate the many things which were sadly missing in the Hindi version. At the height of Smitha's popularity in the eighties, a half-eaten apple by her was sold at an auction for more than Rs.1 lakhs. She also had a high ego that she was always above her heroes, irrespective of the status of the hero. We would try to portray 'Silk' in a more realistic manner.
"Veena was sentimentally stumped on hearing Smitha's story and cried out loud. She would be paid Re.1 crore for the film for which she has agreed be don a two-piece swimming costume besides starring in a few lip-lock sequences. She would also be dubbing in her own voice for her character in the film. Akshay, my son, would play a significant role in the film," said Trishul.

Times Square is populated by a galaxy of performers dressed as characters from cartoons and movies. They pose for photos with families, hold babies and even help tourists find their way. They also demand money.
After a spate of unfortunate episodes involving some unruly performers and attention from the tabloid press, city lawmakers are looking to regulate the characters. This could include issuing licenses and background checks.
During a recent tour of Times Square, dozens of costumed performers were milling around the Crossroads of the World, working hard for their money and helping tourists get snapshots.
These two seem friendly enough. Smiling. Mickey holding out his hand.
But then they get a bit too close
After getting a paltry 50 cents, the group of costumed characters walk off
Most of the people wearing costumes just want to help tourists remember their visit to Times Square
But, let's face it, these people are there to make a few bucks
This baby wasn't too happy posing with Puss in Boots
Batman seemed particularly interested in hair
There were a lot of repeat characters.

+1 for keeping a theme, maintaining a decent amount of playability AND finding something you're passionate about within two separate hobbies. I like the idea!

Joshuawesome says... #2
Digging the theme. Wish I could +1 you twice, both for the deck and for incorporating pro-wrestling into it (I'm also a fan). I'm going to suggest both Illusionist's Bracers and Rings of Brighthearth just because I feel being able to do Gwafa's ability twice per turn is awesome.
May 12, 2013 2:39 p.m.
PresidentDog says... #4
Looking over the cards I have, I don't have a whole lot of creatures with activated abilities, so i don't think Illusionist's Bracers will be that useful. Rings of Brighthearth have a few more uses, mainly on the artifacts, but I actually have one in another EDH deck for Mayael the Anima I do like the flavor of something with a ring like that though. I really wish they made some kind of equipment that was a belt, it would easily be in here as the Million Dollar Championship.

I've noticed a lack of Consecrated Sphinx in this deck. It seems like it would be great allowing you to wipe out the drawback of pacifying their creatures. Some playgroups frown on it though.
April 3, 2014 2:34 p.m.
PresidentDog says... #6
Hmm, that is an interesting idea, but a card like that does paint a pretty big target on you as soon as it hits the battlefield. The synergy with Gwafa can't be ignored though and it even makes a card like Oblation ridiculous by tacking on an Opportunity to it. The card itself is also a little pricey at the moment but If i can get ahold of one I'll definitely consider using it.

Building Your Business Development Game Plan for your next Conference
There is a conference just around the corner and everyone is starting to turn their attention to where it's being held. Conferences and conventions in general are an effective and exhilarating way to network with people who share your goals, or are willing to pay you to make their goals a reality.
We have put together a guide that you can follow for these conferences. It is broken up into 3 main parts, with elements below each part to give it clarity.
Set aside time to prepare for the conference.
- Research the conference. Understand the size, layout, activities and who will be attending.
- KE3 is just around the corner and everyone is starting to turn there attention to the LA Convention Center. Conferences and conventions in general are an effective and exhilarating way to network with people who share your goals, or are willing to pay you to make their goals a reality. E3 is fantastic for this as all of the industry's major players will be in town that week.
- now where you are going and what you are doing. Establish these goals early and consider creating back-up plans in case something goes awry (such as an event is cancelled, or a talk you wanted to see is full).
- Maximize each trip by seeking secondary opportunities. For example, use EventBrite to look for parties and events that could be good for networking.
- Research the companies and individuals you are meeting. Know their names and try to find a picture of what they look like, if possible (LinkedIn is a good resource). Get an idea of how their company makes money, then try to anticipate what their needs or pain points will be. Brainstorm ideas for how you could solve their problems.
- Send confirmation emails for all meetings. Include the location, the time, pictures of the meeting spot if possible, and the best way to get in touch with you (typically a cell phone number). Specify if texting is okay because the convention floor can often be noisy and make voice calls difficult or awkward ("hold on, hold on, okay, I'm outside and can hear you now" is neither a fun nor a professional way to greet a potential customer).
- Include contact information on your calendar and print out a hard copy. It's always a great idea to have backup in case your digital devices fail or run out of battery.
- Test your cell phone reception. Go to the convention site beforehand to test voice calls and connectivity in the areas where you'll be spending the most time.
- Consider how much data you will be using on your smartphone. It's better to pay for extra bandwidth ahead of time rather than racking up a whole day's worth of overage fees.
While at the conference, your main goal is to acquire information!
- Network! Don't be afraid to say hello and introduce yourself. You never know when a casual conversation about that morning's keynote could turn into a business lead.
- Hand out your business cards. You're almost sure to get them in return.
- Pay attention to where the good parties are. Remember that good does not necessarily mean open bar. Consider what sort of crowd will offer you the most leads. A loud DJ could kill your opportunities for networking if no one can hear you.
- Pick up conference guides, magazines, and flyers. You can peruse them during down time at the end of the day, or on your flight home.
- Prioritize forming new contacts and relationships over education. Larger conferences often videotape talks and put them online for viewing after the conference has ended. However, the opportunity to make connections with business partners or new clients has to be done during the conference. The exception to this rule is the conference keynote. Make time to attend or at least find a summary of what was said. Since so many people attend these presentations, it's easy to strike up a conversation about it later while networking.
- Reach out for meetings on the ground. You could tweet a general blast that you're looking for certain types of opportunities, or text a personalized message to a high-priority business lead.
- Maximize your time but know your limits. You will make a sour impression during a meeting if you're stumbling over words and bleary eyed from lack of sleep, or constantly checking the time because you overbooked yourself and are already late for your next meeting.
- Be agile. Have a plan of action if someone cancels or doesn't show up to a meeting. Use your cloud calendar to move and arrange meetings on the fly.
After the conference, complete these seven steps to bring your business development strategy full circle.
Week One:
- Input all your business cards into LinkedIn and your CRM.
- Extend invitations to all parties on LinkedIn.
- Update your CRM with any new information, such as interests, upcoming RFPs, meeting notes, and information about client objectives and needs.
- Immediately follow up on all hot prospects.
Week Two:
- Follow up with all remaining contacts from the show.
- Move forward on any action items from meetings.
- Input all data or knowledge gleaned from the show into your CRM for future reference.
Conferences are some of the few times a year you get to spend face time with your clients and potential partners. Make sure you dedicate the time to do it right and it will pay big dividends down the road.

Requiem Mass for Mgr Peter Dao Duc Diem
A Requiem Mass for Mgr Peter Diem will take place next Wednesday, 12 February at 11.30am at St Francis church, Handsworth in Birmingham. The Most Reverend Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Birmingham, will be the principal celebrant and the Most Reverend Maurice Couve de Murville, Archbishop Emeritus of Birmingham, who did so much to help establish the Vietnamese Chaplaincy in England, will preach. In a statement issued on Monday, Archbishop Vincent Nichols, said: "I am deeply disturbed at the death (Saturday, 25 January 2003) of Mgr Peter Dao Duc Diem. For so many years he has been an outstanding chaplain to the Vietnamese community. As a priest of the Archdiocese of Birmingham we mourn his loss. "The apparently violent and unexpected circumstances of his death make this loss all the harder to bear. We pray for the repose of his soul and the comfort of the Vietnamese Catholics in this country."

Brush embroidery is a surprisingly simple technique that allows you to create elegant and textured cookie or cake decorations, giving the impression that it was an arduous task. Put simply, it's the method of using quick, gentle brushstrokes to pull lines of royal icing so that it resembles lace. This decorating method is especially perfect for those prone to making little mistakes – a slip of the hand may well look like the intention!
Ordinarily, brush embroidery designs sit on a fondant-covered cake or iced biscuit for a strong, smooth base – but what designs can you actually create on top? Well, a lot more than you'd expect! Traditionally, cake decorators favour dramatic floral designs, however you honestly can go as far as your imagination takes you. From animal fur to ocean waves, the world truly is your oyster – if you're short of time but looking to impress, brush embroidery is definitely the technique for you.
Royal Icing
Royal icing will act as the basecoat for cookies as well as the embroidered design for both cookies and cakes. If icing cookies, it's recommended to ice the basecoat at a flood consistency. For the design, it's important to use soft-peak-to-stiff consistency icing to allow for brush manipulation.
Piping Bags and Tips
You'll require a piping bag and a round tip for the icing basecoat (that's assuming you're decorating cookies), and then another set to create the embroidered designs. Round tip #3 is recommended for the cookies' basecoat, then tips #1 or #2 are ideal for the design, depending on your image size.
As expected, brushes are your primary tools in brush embroidery. Different sized and shaped brushes will produce different effects, but flat brushes are often preferred. If you're still perplexed, take a look at our Cake Decorating Brushes page to see which types of brushes are best for this technique.
It's important to note that brush embroidery can be completed with the help of a pattern or free-hand – it's all up to personal preference. If you're not using a pattern, simply skip that step.
Step 1:
In advance: Prepare your cake or cookies. Bake your cake or cookies, then leave to cool. Depending on what you bake, smoothly cover with fondant or ice with flood consistency royal icing, then leave to set for a good few hours.
Step 2:
Prepare your design. If using a pattern, imprint it onto the surface of your cake or cookie. This can either be done by gently pricking or scratching the design into the surface, or simply tracing.
Step 3:
Prepare your royal icing. Get your icing to a soft-peak consistency for easier manipulation, but stiff enough to hold shape. As the icing hardens quickly, only fill your piping bag one quarter full or less.
Step 4:
Begin piping the outline. Use a smaller-sized piping tip, depending on the size of your design – round tips #1 or #2 are ideal. It's important that you pipe one small line at a time. As the icing dries quickly, it's much more difficult to brush when it's semi-set!
Step 5:
Create brushstrokes in the icing. You should try to work quickly, or at least before the icing begins to set. Starting from one end of the line and working your way down to the other end, use your brush to sweep the line of icing towards the centre of your design in short strokes. Use different brush sizes and shapes to create different effects. It's important to note, however, that brush embroidery should always be worked from the outside, then pulled in towards the middle of your design.
Step 6:
Complete the rest of your design. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the entirety of your design has been outlined and brushed. It's crucial that you clean or wipe your brush often, thus allowing the bristles to have more of an impact on the lines of icing.
Step 7:
Build upon your design. If desired, you could continue your brush embroidery design by building up layers to add even more texture and dimension, by changing icing colours for a contrast effect, or by adding tiny dots of icing to accent the design.

Man's depression as an excuse now 'spent'
A JUDGE asked a man who stole items on two separate occasions how long he proposes to "drift around committing offences and using depression in mitigation".
Judge David McHugh heard that Anthony Graham had "no logical reason" for the theft of two tins of paint as he did not need it and that he damaged a Manchester United jersey he had tried to steal by attempting to remove the security tag.
Graham (24), with addresses at Cappagh Green, Finglas, and Dunsink Lane, Finglas, pleaded guilty at Blanchardstown District Court to damaging a Manchester United jersey worth €35 at Heaton's, Charlestown, last December 19.
He further pleaded guilty to the theft of two tins of paint worth €37 from Tesco, Clearwater, last March 19.
The court heard Graham has nine previous convictions including a nine-month suspended sentence for assault from 2012.
Gda Mark Reilly said he received a call from Heaton's to say security had held Graham for the damage to the jersey while trying to steal it by removing the security tag.
Defence solicitor Simon Fleming said Graham fully compensated Heaton's for the jersey and stole it because he did not have the money to buy it as a Christmas present.
"Not that that's an excuse, but that's why he did it," said Mr Fleming, adding that Graham has a history of depression and is on medication.
"There is no logic to stealing the paint as he didn't need it."
Judge McHugh remarked that Graham "has quite a colourful past - no pun intended on the paint word".
"He is ready to fall off the cliff," said Judge McHugh, adding: "How long does he propose to drift around committing offences and using depression in mitigation? I consider his mitigation to be spent."
He said Graham is "at the point that if he goes through the door, he stays there". He gave him an eight-month suspended sentence and fined him €100.

President Obama said Thursday the failure to pass new gun laws has been the most frustrating part of his presidency.
In an interview with the BBC, Obama lamented the fact Congress refused to tighten gun laws "even in the face of repeated mass killings."
"If you ask me where has been the one area that I feel that I've been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that the United States is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient, common-sense gun safety laws," he said.
The president launched a major push for new restrictions on gun ownership following a mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in 2012, which left 26 people dead, mostly children.

When Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah went down with a foot injury in week two, it was widely assumed that his season was over. The team released very few details on the extent of the injury, but he underwent surgery the week of the injury, and was subsequently placed on injured reserve.
Linebacker Jon Bostic, also on injured reserve, seemed like the more likely recipient of the team's tag for one player to receive an option allowing him to come off IR this season. But, his recovery doesn't seem to be coming along as well as Abdullah's.
A report from the NFL Network's Ian Rapaport surfaced this morning indicating that Abdullah's potential return this season is a legitimate possibility.
#Lions RB Ameer Abdullah (IR, foot) will see Dr. Robert Anderson on Tues to see if he'll start practicing. Active in 3 weeks is realistic
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 20, 2016
Although Rapaport has been incorrect on an injury report this season, Detroit beat writer Dave Birkett has also picked up on the story as well:
A little more on Ameer: Visit to Dr Anderson is Tuesday, should have an updated timetable then. Lions can use that to facilitate IR decision
— Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) November 20, 2016
In related unsurprising news, head coach Jim Caldwell has released very little news on the situation (well, actually none).
In Abdullah's absence, the team has used a number of other running backs, including Dwayne Washington, Theo Riddick, Justin Forsett, and Zach Zenner. For the season, those four backs have averaged a total of 60.78 rushing yards per game, and 3.59 yards per attempt – a far cry from Abdullah's average of 5.61 yard per attempt this season, although the majority of that came against a poor Indianapolis Colts defense.
An Abdullah return this season would also add more speed to the Lions' running attack, which would likely also improve their efficiency in the run game – the team has only rushed for three touchdowns on the year.
While the idea of Abdullah's potential return sounds great, take the idea with a grain of salt as nothing is guaranteed at this point. Stay tuned, we'll update with any news that breaks on his situation after his visit with the doctor, which is scheduled for Tuesday of this week.

Hi,I have tried this …and it turned out to be an awesome breakfast….Thanks a lot for the recipe
Mushroom Melts Sandwich | Grilled Cheese Mushroom
Mushroom Melts Sandwich | Grilled Cheese Mushroom
Mushroom Melts Sandwich – these sandwiches are full-o-flavor! I just love mushrooms, don't you? The umami that they lend to a wide array of dishes is irreplaceable. I enjoy all sorts of mushrooms, but my favorite has gotta be the swiss brown mushrooms! They are reliable in most of my recipes, with just the right amount of umami oomph, and not pushing anyones buttons. So, this sandwich is something I came up with for a breakfast sandwich and it was a total winner. As I always do, I quickly jotted the amounts of things I used, because you know me – my memory is awful! Another one for my recipe box. Keeper for sure. It's quick and tasty – try it and let me know won't you?

Hey Kate!
So I took some video of Emme today and have been having issues with it. I took it sideways, so I had to get some software to rotate it. Then I uploaded it to YouTube and found that they squished and stretched it so it looks terrible. But too bad! Here it is!
She's wearing the poncho you knit her and the hat I knit her. There. Now there's knitting content.

snaking. god i hated that in the ds version. so let me know. i'm still getting it. so yeah...
there is powersliding in Mariokart 7.
I have been online and I really liked it, I don't know if you can snake in it.
I don't think it's possible to snake in MK7.
It's possible to do,but it doesn't give you the advantage it did in the DS version,instead it slows you down trying to perform it.
Snaking =/= Powersliding.
Power Sliding from what I gather, you have to be turning a certain degree, and hold it for a little bit for the first blue boost to kick in. Holding it longer and moving the stick back and forth makes the red one.
Power-sliding is likely the same as snaking, but it is hard to perform. I can do it:
1. Drift in a turn
2. Directly jump again, blue fire soon
3. Jump again blue fire
4. etc.
That on non-turns is pretty useless since your a bit slower from what I've seen. But if you use it on the right points.(Like in Bowser City =3) your boss!
snaking is a skill based mechanic as anything else, watch some world record time trials for MKDD and MKDS to see what I mean. but no, being able to generate your own MT as fast as you possibly can is not in MK7, for better or worse.
The game hasn't been out very long to know everything yet, but I'm going to say the short answer is: In some places, yes. Most of the time, no.
For example, I used to 'snake' up to the mansion in Luigi mansion but found it was faster not to, since going straight ready's you to hop up the stairs. However I'm not sure whether snaking through the mud section is faster. At the moment I don't think so, but it isn't exactly slower either; if at all.
As an example, the first video I don't snake and the second I do.
The first is faster and currently a 'best known time' because it's a better strat and cleaner run, I'm still not 100% which is faster.
That's not snaking. Snaking is doing it on straight paths, which you cannot do unless the road is wide, but you slow down. Getting the bursts through turns is Power Sliding.
Powersliding is getting those drift boosts. Where you pull it off is irrelevant.
Snaking is Powersliding consecutively. And it's called "snaking" because you're constantly swerving to get the drift boosts.
Anybody else that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
Enough said.
The word snaking is dumb. The road could be in an S-shape like at the start of Luigi Mansion, mini-turbo'ing around the corners isn't considered snaking even though your kart is MT'ing back and forth consecutively. SSMT'ing or straight stretch MT'ing is more accurate.
ok thanks now let's hope my dad and bro got my 3ds hopefully i'll be able to get it later.
Do it consecutively and it becomes snaking, regardless of where you do it. It's just not sensible to snake on road bends.
And "snaking" is easier to say and understand than SSMT'ing or straight stretch MT'ing. that last one was a mouthful, so accurate or not, people stick to "snaking".
There is no snaking in MK7
