2011 Record (BIG 12): 10-3 (6-3)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 17 (8/7/2)
Ryan Trapp and Kristina Taylor | Staff Writers
The Big 12 is in a state of transition: two new teams will begin conference play this season, Baylor graduated a Heisman trophy winning quarterback and defending conference champ Oklahoma State saw the lethal combination of Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon go in the first round of the NFL draft. With questions surrounding how several teams in the conference, Oklahoma returns a three-year starter in star quarterback Landry Jones. Accumulating over 12,000 yards and 93 touchdowns in his career, Jones has rewritten the Sooner record book and leads all active FBS quarterbacks in both those categories. Now a senior, the Sooners are no doubt looking to ride their quarterbacks talent and leadership all the way to a BCS-title berth. Although Oklahoma returns 17 starters on both sides of the ball, the few who are gone will be sorely missed. They'll need to replace all-everything wideout Ryan Broyles, who took his FBS record 349 career receptions to the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2012 Draft. Junior Kenny Stills can be a legitimate number one threat, boasting 849 yards and eight touchdowns last season behind Broyles, but he's the only receiver on the Oklahoma roster with a collegiate catch. Bob Stoops will throw a trio of talented freshman into the fray in Trey Metoyer, Sterling Shepard and Durron Neal, but with the inexperience on the wings they'll need to lean heavier on the ground game. They'll have a legitimate one-two punch in Dominique Whaley and Roy Finch, both of whom earned starts last season and collected combined total of 1,232 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Blake Bell will add a new wrinkle from the quarterback position as well, where he battered and bruised his way to the end zone 13 times last season in a Tebow-esque fashion. The trio of runners should find plenty of holes behind a stout, offensive line led by third-team All-American center Gabe Ikard.
The Sooners looked very vulnerable in the secondary a year ago, especially in losses to Texas Tech and Baylor. Nevertheless, with experience under their belt, the "Sharks" should be stingy under defensive coordinator Mike Stoops. Cornerbacks Demontre Hurst and Aaron Colvin give Oklahoma one of the best corner combos in the nation, and former Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year Tony Jefferson is a star in the making at free safety. Losing both Frank Alexander and Ronnel Lewis at defensive end really hinders the Sooners ability to generate pass rush from the outside. Stoops will rely heavily on seniors Casey Walker, Stacy McGee and JaMarkus McFarland to get to the quarterback from the interior while they settle out who can step up at the two ends. Junior linebackers Tom Wart and Corey Nelson can help hurry the quarterback as well, the two combine for 14 career sacks, while redshirt freshman Frank Shannon showed immense potential at strong-side linebacker this spring.
The Sooners have a difficult schedule, particularly in the final stretch. How they fare in the final three games will determine if Oklahoma can play their way into or out of the national championship picture. Back-to-back-to-back matchups against West Virginia, Oklahoma State and TCU will make or break the Sooners' season, although a mid-season matchup against Mac Brown and the Texas Longhorns isn't a matchup that should be taken lightly either. With the strong schedule they have, Oklahoma shouldn't get leaped in the standings as long as they continue to win. Either LSU or Alabama will be knocked back after they face each other in November, and USC might have to play a strong Oregon team twice. If the Trojans run the table, and someone can go undefeated in the SEC, Oklahoma will be on the outside looking in. Otherwise, they'll almost certainly be competing for that crystal trophy; just like every other championship game played in South Florida.
BURNING QUESTION: Will the real Landry Jones please stand up?
After projecting as a top-five quarterback in the 2011 draft, Jones turned away from the pros and returned to Oklahoma for a tumultuous season. While nearly 4,500 yards and 29 touchdowns are nothing to shake a leg at, the 15 interceptions (tied for fourth most in the FBS) were too many. Jones also looked lost without star wide receiver Ryan Broyles at the season's end, throwing six picks and just one touchdown over his final four games while completing fewer than 60 percent of his passes. Can Batman get it done without Robin? With a very inexperienced group at wide receiver, this season should tell if Jones is the type of quarterback who can make those around him better or if he was just capitalizing on the success of others.

Asbestos minerals can cause lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma and other lung diseases. And an NDSU geochemist has found those minerals might have transformational properties once inside an individual.
Scott Wood, NDSU professor of geochemistry and dean of the College of Science and Mathematics, will discuss research that suggests asbestos minerals may change into other minerals during a person's lifetime at the October Science Café titled "A Geochemist's perspective on the behavior of asbestos minerals in the human lung".
The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. in Stokers Basement, Hotel Donaldson in Fargo. It's free and open to the public.
"In the past, most people working in the field have focused entirely on the dissolution of asbestos as the ultimate fate of these minerals in the lungs," Wood said. "However, our work suggests the strong possibility of transformations of asbestos minerals to other types of minerals while in the lungs, which has important implications for human health."
Attendees must be 21 or older or accompanied by a parent or guardian. For more information, contact Keri Drinka at firstname.lastname@example.com or 701-231-6131.
NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christoph Waltz really owes Quentin Tarantino. Waltz won his second supporting-actor Academy Award on Sunday for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty hunter in the slave-revenge saga "Django Unchained."
In a choked voice, Waltz offered thanks to his character and "to his creator and the creator of his awe-inspiring world, Quentin Tarantino."
Waltz also offered gracious thanks to his supporting-actor competitors, who included two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro and Oscar recipient Tommy Lee Jones, who had been considered a slim favorite over Waltz for the prize.
A veteran performer in Germany and his native Austria, Waltz had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood when Tarantino cast him as a gleefully evil Nazi in 2009's "Inglourious Basterds," which won him his first Oscar.
Waltz has since done a handful of other Hollywood movies, but it's Tarantino who has given him his two choicest roles. Backstage, Waltz had a simple explanation for why the collaboration works.
"Quentin writes poetry, and I like poetry," Waltz said.
The foreign-language prize went to Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke's old-age love story "Amour," which had been a major surprise with five nominations, including picture, director and original screenplay for Haneke and best actress for Emmanuelle Riva, who turned 86 on Sunday and would be the oldest acting winner ever.
The top prize winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, "Amour" follows the agonizing story of an elderly man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) tending his wife (Riva) as she declines from age and illness.
Haneke thanked his own wife for supporting him in his work for 30 years.
"You are the center of my life," Haneke said.
The Scottish adventure "Brave," from Disney's Pixar Animation unit, was named best animated feature. Pixar films have won seven of the 12 Oscars since the category was added.
The story of an dauntless princess (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) who balks at her parents' attempts to marry her off, "Brave" won out over a strong field that included Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Frankenweenie."
"I just happen to be wearing the kilt," said "Brave" co-director Mark Andrews, who took the stage in his trademark Scottish garment.
The upbeat musical portrait "Searching for Sugar Man" took the documentary feature prize over a lineup of sober films that included the AIDS chronicle "How to Survive a Plague," the military-rape critique "The Invisible War" and the Israel-Palestine studies "5 Broken Cameras" and "The Gatekeepers."
"Searching for Sugar Man" follows the quest of two South African fans to discover the fate of acclaimed but obscure singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who dropped out of sight after two albums in the 1970s and was rumored to have died a bitter death.
"Thanks to one of the greatest singers ever, Rodriguez," said "Sugar Man" director Malik Bendjelloul.
Oscar host Seth MacFarlane opened with a mildly edgy monologue that offered the usual polite jabs at the academy, the stars and the industry. He took a poke at academy voters over the snub of Ben Affleck, who missed out on a directing nomination for best-picture favorite "Argo," a thriller about the CIA's plot to rescue six Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis.
"The story was so top secret that the film's director is unknown to the academy," MacFarlane said. "They know they screwed up. Ben, it's not your fault."
William Shatner made a guest appearance as his "Star Trek" character Capt. James Kirk, appearing on a giant screen above the stage during MacFarlane's monologue, saying he came back in time to stop the host from ruining the Oscars.
"Your jokes are tasteless and inappropriate, and everyone ends up hating you," said Shatner, who revealed a headline supposedly from the next day's newspaper that read, "Seth MacFarlane worst Oscar host ever."
The performance-heavy Oscars also included an opening number featuring Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum, who did a classy dance while MacFarlane crooned "Just the Way You Look Tonight." Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt then joined MacFarlane for an elegant musical rendition of "High Hopes."
Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron lined up a top-notch cast of stars as presenters, including "The Avengers" co-stars Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner. They presented two prizes that went to the shipwreck tale "Life of Pi," cinematography and visual effects.
"This movie was quite a beast to make," said cinematographer Claudio Miranda, who shot dazzling images for the story of a youth adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger.
Miranda's win marked another round of Oscar futility for revered cinematographer Roger Deakins, who was nominated for the James Bond adventure "Skyfall." Deakins has been nominated 10 times but has yet to win.
Halle Berry introduced a tribute to the James Bond franchise in which she has co-starred as the British super-spy celebrated his 50th anniversary on the big-screen last year with the latest adventure "Skyfall." Shirley Bassey sang her theme song to the 1960s Bond tale "Goldfinger."
A salute to the resurgence of movie musicals in the last decade included Oscar winners Catherine Zeta-Jones singing "All That Jazz" from "Chicago" and Jennifer Hudson doing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from "Dreamgirls." Oscar nominees Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway joined cast mates of best-picture contender "Les Miserables" to sing songs from their musical.
Fans have pondered how far MacFarlane the impudent creator of "Family Guy," might push the normally prim and proper Oscars. Nearly 90 minutes into the show, the answer was, not that far. MacFarlane was generally polite and respectful, showcasing his charm, wit and vocal gifts.
MacFarlane did press his luck a bit on an Abraham Lincoln joke, noting that Raymond Massey preceded "Lincoln" star Daniel Day-Lewis as an Oscar nominee for 1940's "Abe Lincoln in Illinois."
"I would argue that the actor who really got inside Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth," MacFarlane wisecracked, earning some groans from the crowd. "A hundred and 50 years later, and it's still too soon?"
MacFarlane may be a wild card, but as for the show itself, predictability could be the Academy Awards' middle name. This time looks the same, with clear favorites in the main categories.
Affleck's "Argo" looks like it will be an uncommon film to claim best picture without a directing nomination, while "Lincoln" filmmaker Steven Spielberg and star Day-Lewis are favored to join exclusive lists of three-time Oscar winners.
Affleck was not counting on anything, though.
"We don't expect to depart with anything but our integrity," Affleck said on the Oscar red carpet before the show.
"Argo" has won winning practically every top prize at earlier honors. Hollywood was shocked that Affleck was snubbed for a directing nomination, possibly earning the film some sympathy votes, particularly from actors, who love it when one of their own succeeds behind the camera.
The story of how Hollywood, Canada and the CIA teamed up to rescue six Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis, "Argo" would become just the fourth film in 85 years to claim the top prize without a best-directing nomination and the first since 1989's "Driving Miss Daisy."
The best-picture prize typically ends the Oscar show, but this time, MacFarlane and Kristin Chenoweth will perform a closing number on the Dolby Theatre stage that producers Zadan and Meron called a "'can't miss' moment."

Duluth Earns Sweep Of Rox With Extra Inning Win
The Duluth Huskies topped the St. Cloud Rox 1-0 in eleven innings Monday night at Joe Faber Field. Duluth swept the Rox in the three game series to improve to 19-13 on the season.
Bradley Strong, playing on his 21st birthday, had three hits for the Rox and hit a long fly ball in the bottom of the tenth that was caught on the warning track. However, the Rox could not muster a run against a trio of Husky hurlers.
Evan Wolf and Bryce Jackson held the Huskies scoreless through nine, with Wolf lasting seven in a brilliant start. The righty allowed just two hits with no walks and six strikeouts.
Duluth scored the game-winning run on a Jordan Alexander double off of Rox reliever Reese Gregory.

Unattended backpack brings police response in Nashua
By KIMBERLEY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA - City police responded to the Social Security Administration Building Friday morning for a suspicious backpack left unattended.
The Nashua Police Department's Hazardous Device Unit arrived at the building at 175 Amherst St. shortly after 10 a.m.
"Certainly, we didn't know what to expect," said Police Chief John Seusing, adding a federal Homeland Security vehicle also arrived on the scene.
"But, I am told that the situation has been resolved."
According to Seusing, the backpack was forgotten at the building, and the owner was located.
There was nothing of any concern within the bag, said the chief.
The building was evacuated while authorities investigated.

U.K. Manufacturing
Elsewhere, U.K. manufacturing expanded in January for a second month. A gauge of factory activity eased to 50.8 from a revised 51.2 in December, Markit and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said in London today.
In the euro-area, manufacturing continued to shrink. Markit's gauge rose to 47.9 last month from 46.1 in December.
Chinese manufacturing expanded in January, validating the nation's reluctance to add to policy stimulus amid increasing inflation concern.
The Purchasing Managers' Index was 50.4 in January compared with 50.6 in December, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today in Beijing as they more than tripled the number of companies surveyed. A separate gauge from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics covering fewer businesses rose to a two-year high of 52.3 from 51.5.
Business Investment
Earlier this week, a Commerce Department report showed business investment in equipment and software climbed at a 12.4 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, the best performance in more than a year, after a drop the prior quarter.
Caterpillar Inc., the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment, is among manufacturers expecting an improving outlook.
"In the United States, we're becoming increasingly optimistic," Michael DeWalt, a spokesman for Peoria, Illinois- based Caterpillar, said on a Jan 28 conference call with analysts. "We expect U.S. housing industry to help the economy in 2013."
An improving housing market is also helping manufacturers such as DuPont Co., the biggest U.S. chemical maker by market value. Rising demand for plastics used in autos helped the Wilmington, Delaware-based company to report fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded analysts' estimates. DuPont also said sales in 2013 will climb to $36 billion from $34.8 billion.
"The U.S. is experiencing a weak recovery with bright spots and pent-up demand for housing and autos," Chief Executive Officer Ellen Kullman said on a Jan. 22 earnings call.
Consumer Spending
Consumer purchases grew at a 2.2 percent pace in the fourth quarter, up from 1.6 percent in the previous three months, as Americans bought more durable goods including automobiles. A plunge in defense outlays and slower stockpiling led the economy to contract at a 0.1 percent annual pace in the final three months of 2012.
Automobile purchases also may support factory production this year. November-December was the best back-to-back showing for car- and light-truck sales since early 2008, according to Ward's Automotive Group.

Dusty ol' bullets
Howdy folks,
Someone gave me a couple boxes of old, cast, lubed .38 wadcutters. They've been in storage for years, and weren't quite sealed, so they have some lint and dust on them. I'd like to use them, but I'm wary of sending the grit through my bores. Is there a practical way to clean them?
Thank you, wise ones.

I have maybe 400 that I picked up for a song. If they don't look good enough to load as is I probably would do a Recluse 45-45-10 tumble lube, or send them though a lube sizer again. If they are gritty I would probably recast them

If they are lubed, and the dust is an issue you could set them in a cheap Dollar Store cookie sheet on top of a shop towel and use a blow drier to heat them up where the lube flows off onto the towel. Then simply relube them with some Alox and go for it.
If there is grit embedded into the lead I would remelt them and repour if you have the stuff to do so.
If simply dusty unlubed lead you could gently wash them in a disposable bowl with some soapy water using a soft brush to lightly scrub them. Let them dry and lube them up with Alox for shooting.

Thanks, guys.
They are lubed, but upon closer inspection it looks like it's mostly the ones on top that need cleaning. Underneath they are better. I'll try to wipe the dusty ones down and I think I'll be fine.
Gotta love free bullets.

Ten Second Review
It's easy to forget quite what a massive step forward the original Vauxhall Insignia was, taking over from the little-lamented Vectra in 2008. When Vauxhall improved it in 2013, we got sharper looks, a better finish, more comfort and some far more efficient 2.0 CDTi diesel engines. The best of these is profiled here, the 'Whisper diesel' 170bhp unit. Get your Insignia with one of these units fitted and you should agree that this Vauxhall remains a car that you really can't afford to overlook.
Almost all Vauxhall Insignia buyers choose a 2.0-litre diesel. The question though, is which 2.0-litre CDTi diesel they should opt for. When the much improved facelifted version of this car was launched in 2013, entry-level ecoFLEX 120 and 140PS versions of this engine were introduced. Though very efficient, ther were still rather unrefined, an issue Vauxhall has tried to resolve with the 'Whisper diesel' 170PS unit we're looking at here. If the Griffin brand has achieved that, then this Insignia really will be worth looking at in this segment, despite the recent arrival of a host of new arrivals, including new versions of the Volkswagen Passat and the Ford Mondeo, plus upgradesd versions of cars like Peugeot's 508 and the Mazda6.
Driving Experience
With this 170PS 2.0 CDTi unit, the brand says that second-order vibrations have been slashed by 80% and you certainly notice that - not so much at idle but certainly once you get on the move. True, there are still quieter black pump buys in this class but at least this car will no longer wake the neighbours when you fire up on a cold morning or tire you in traffic with its constant rumbling thrum. 0-62mph from rest occupies 9.0s en route to 139mph, so performance is quite up to class standards. Although this powerplant is related to the 161bhp 2.0-litre CDTi unit it replaced, Vauxhall says that over 95% of the parts used in it are completely new. It offers 4% more power and 14% more torque than the outgoing engine, meets Euro 6 clean-air standards, and still manages to maintain the outgoing engine's highly competitive CO2 output of 114g/km. Otherwise, all the usual Insignia comments apply. If you haven't tried one of these since the 2013 update, you'll notice improvements to the car's ride and handling. Damper and anti-roll bar settings have been revised for better ride and control, while the Electronic Power Steering system has been reprogrammed for better feel. Noise, vibration and harshness levels have also been reduced for enhanced occupant comfort. For most of the people, most of the time, this, dynamically, is all the car they will ever need, quietly and effectively getting on with the job of getting you from A to B.
Design and Build
Most have always felt that whether you opted for the Insignia in hatch, saloon or Sport Tourer estate guises, you always ended up with a rather handsome car and the styling of the improved post-2013 version is probably best described as evolutionary. So what's changed? The grille is wider and the headlights look a bit squintier, with bi-xenon lamps on the top Elite versions. Vauxhall has tried to give the hatch version more of a coupe silhouette while the saloon features an extended swage line aimed to emphasise the body's length. At the back, you'll spot a chrome logo bar that's now mounted lower and extends into the LED tail light cluster. Insignia customers still only familiar with the original version of this car will see more changes inside - notably a completely re-designed centre console and instrument cluster. The centre console has been simplified and now has fewer buttons for more intuitive operation of common functions, such as air conditioning and infotainment, while the instrument cluster has new dials and a cleaner look. Vauxhall has worked at improving the perceived materials quality in the latest Insignia and offers better grades of leather and cloth as well as enhancing the look and feel of dashboard materials and door trims.
Market and Model
Insignia diesel pricing starts at around £19,000, but that's for the older CDTi 120 and CDTi 140 ecoFLEX unit. The newer 2.0 CDTi 170PS 'Whisper diesel' engine we've been looking at here costs from just over £20,000. That means a big saving over the 195PS Biturbo 2.0 CDTi model, for which you'll need to have a £25,000 budget. Saloon and hatch models cost the same but you'll need to allow a £1,500 model-for-model premium if you want the Sports Tourer estate. If you're looking at that estate and want the all-wheel drive capability of the Country Tourer version, then you'll find that there a choice of 2.0 CDTi 163 or 2.0 CDTi Biturbo power at prices ranging between £25,000 to £30,000. As for equipment, well, it's a pity that on base models, you have to pay extra for the two 8" high-resolution screens (one for the instruments, one for the infotainment) that really bring the look and feel of the cabin up to date. Beyond that though, all the key features seem to be present and correct. So all models get LED daytime running lights, auto headlamps, smart alloy wheels of at least 16" in size, Bluetooth 'phone compatibility, electronic climate control, a driver's seat with powered height and lumbar adjustment, a trip computer, cruise control and a decent quality stereo system with a DAB digital radio plus USB and aux-in compatibility controllable from the leather-covered steering wheel.
Cost of Ownership
Most buyers in this sector realised quite some time ago that the bargains are back for those that care to go looking. Take the Insignia range for example. Even the outgoing car had its premium-badged rivals on the back foot. Fleet News calculated that a £20,000 diesel Insignia would cost 58 pence per mile to run over three years and 36,000 miles. If you wanted a prestige badge, you'd be looking at fronting up more than £5,000 extra to land a BMW 3 Series diesel which would offer you less gear, less space and would cost from 62 pence per mile to run. The latest Insignia range improves efficiency still further. Those 2.0-litre CDTi engines are a case in point. The 170PS version we've been looking at here manages 65.7mpg on the combined cycle and 114g/km of CO2. If you can be content with the older-tech 120 and 140PS 2.0 CDTi ecoFLEX units, then you could achieve 76.3mpg and 98g/km of CO2. These kinds of figures look tempting, given the upfront price savings this Vauxhall offers over other conventional segment choices like Ford's Mondeo and Volkswagen's Passat. A Passat 2.0 TDI 150 BlueMotion Technology model, for example, would cost over £3,000 more to buy than a directly comparable Insignia 2.0 CDTi 170.

Across the Pond,
Susan Eley Fine Art
Inspiration is found in the most subtle details for Sarah Picon, who spies seemingly insignificant images throughout her day that form the basis of her work. An empty corner in a room or the delicate light cast on an overlooked object become illuminated by Picon, who was the child of two artist parents and grew up seeing the art in everything. Today Picon has a studio overlooking the Seine River, near Paris, and a second studio among the hills of Provence, where she produces works that combine drawing and painting. With careful attention to color, Picon grinds and mixes precise pigments; her thoughtful discipline with subtle details renders otherwise ordinary subjects into sensitively resolved figures, landscapes, and still lifes.

The kringle arrived in fresh out of the oven shape. It was so delicious. I planned to serve it at the Packers game but couldn't wait. Too bad the Packers had to lose as I would have ordered more for the super bowl. Maybe still will.
The Packers Frozen Tundra Kringle was created because we love our Green Bay Packers. This special Kringle is a blend of "Cheesehead" cream cheese filling and "Frozen" Dark Chocolate "Tundra" Chunks, iced and decorated in Green and Gold. Share your Packer pride with this Packers Frozen Tundra Kringle at your football parties!
Danish kringle is an exquisite coffee-cake made of many feather light layers of Danish pastry and filled with delicious filling. The pastry itself made by O & H Danish Bakery requires a minimum of three days preparation. Layer upon layer of golden Wisconsin creamery butter is folded and rolled into the pastry dough. The result is a deliciously rich, yet feather-light and flaky pastry. Danish Kringles are perfect for dessert, breakfast or a snack.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian lawmaker is saying Russian women working in the country's sole nuclear power plant do not observe the strict Islamic dress code, though they are paid extra to comply.
Under Iranian law, all women must cover themselves from head to toe in public.
A Tuesday report by the semiofficial ISNA news agency quotes Mahdi Mousavinejad, a representative of the southern Iranian port of Bushehr, where the plant is located, as saying violation of dress code by the Russian workers has had a "corrupting and negative impact" on his constituency.
Mousavinejad says he will report on the case to the Iranian parliament. He did not say how many women were involved or how much they were paid.
Russia says it will hand over the plant to Iranian engineers in mid-2013.

The best electrical tape
Scotch Super 33+
This electrical tape has stable adhesive and wraps uneven surfaces smoothly.
"A lot of electricians, including me, swear by Scotch 33+," says Master Electrician Al Hildenbrand. "It's an amazing tape. The glue is stable and non-gumming or running, so it doesn't leave a residue on your hands or the material if removed. But more importantly, the plastic has a 'stretch' and 'return memory.' When the tape is pulled off the roll, it stretches slightly, and over the next five to ten minutes, attempts to return to its original length. This 'memory' helps to put a slight compression on a smoothly wrapped splice to hold it in place. And the 'stretch' allows an irregular surface to be wrapped over the high spots, where the stretch is greatest, and the 'memory' generally allows the tape on either side to snug down onto the smaller diameters. The result is a smoother, tighter and more uniform insulating of what is being covered."
"There are cheaper tapes, but they seriously lack the quality of Scotch 33+."
Meet the Expert
Al Hildenbrand is a licensed Minnesota Class "A" Master Electrician with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. He's the owner of Al's Electric Works in Minneapolis, MN.

What do you do with 12,000+ bars of soap? (And not just soap, but soap that has been glued together to form the "bricks" of a wall?) In the case of Extreme Materials 2, the answer was obvious—repurpose it.
In January 2012, after the show had closed, MAG staffers took down Clear, Danielle Julian Norton's spectacular room-sized structure built of Neutrogena soap. A pallet-load of soap went to the School of the Arts, where students will melt the bars down for art projects. Another big batch went to Sample Soap, a non-profit organization that will clean off the glue and donate soap to social service agencies for distribution to the neediest.

Hermantown Falls in Fifth Straight State Hockey Championship
Optimism was in the air in the Hermantown fan section at the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul as the Hawks hit the ice in their fifth straight Class A Boys Hockey Championship. The opponent was a new face, top seeded East Grand Forks. While Hermantown was seeded as the underdog, many saw the game as an even matchup.
Hawks senior forward Scott Wasbotten drew first blood in the game, finding the net with only 33 seconds left in the opening period. Wasbotten's score would be the only goal of the period.
Two and a half minutes into the middle frame, Green Wave junior Dixon Bowen would open the floodgates, starting the first of a streak of 5 unanswered East Grand Forks goals through the second period.
Hermantown junior Parker Hawk would cut into the East Grand Forks lead in the opening minutes of the third period, but two more Green Wave goals would set the game out of reach for the Hawks. Jared Zeleznikar would find the net around the 13 minute mark of the third, which would be the final goal of the game.
With a final score of 7-3, the Hermantown Hawks would claim their fifth straight second place title in as many years. East Grand Forks goes on to earn their first state championship.
Hawks senior Zach Kramer and junior Nate Pionk were named to the Class A All-Tournament Team.
Following the game, Hermantown Head Coach Bruce Plante addressed the media on a number of subjects. Among the comments, Plante spoke to what it felt like losing this game, admitting the loss definitely hurt. While losing the game was certainly painful for the players and coaching staff; after falling the previous four years to private schools Breck and St. Thomas Academy, Plante offered a shade of light on the situation, saying:
It feels better losing to East Grand Forks than other teams we've lost to here
Plante also addressed the idea of Hermantown moving to AA, saying that he doesn't feel the team has the depth necessary to play against the big schools.

What kind of recipe/dish have you always wanted to make, but never got around to it?It's been interesting to see the answers. Surprisingly (maybe not) there are several food bloggers who are afraid of yeast! I have to admit, that I once had a fear of it, too. Recently, my confidence has grown and I've learned to understand how to work with yeast. I give a lot of credit to King Arthur's Blog called "Baker's Banter". If you haven't discovered this treasure of a blog, you're missing out. There are step-by-step tutorials. People leave reviews-- and, the KAF folks answer back!
Just to show you that while I'm no longer afraid of yeast breads, this recipe went wrong, the first time I made it. The next day, I had to try it again. I suspected why my first batch turned out like hockey pucks. My signature line seems to be "let me show you how". So... let's begin:
King Arthur online. This store is my toy store. I have been slowly accumulating their products, and have been experimenting with them. I discovered that the Vital Wheat Gluten really helped my Pioneer Woman Buttered Rosemary Rolls to rise beautifully. The three products that you see pictured above, were going on a maiden voyage for this recipe I'm about to show you. I've used Fleishmann's Rapid Rise Yeast for ages. I decided to buy a bag of SAF Instant yeast, since bread bakers rave about it. Enough product talk... let's talk about yeast. The SAF Instant yeast is supposed to not need any kind of "proofing". That translates, simply, into dissolving the yeast with some sort of sugar-- honey or sugar, for example and waiting for it to "foam". I think people are afraid of killing the yeast. One more important thing-- I store my yeast in the refrigerator (some people use the freezer) and check the expiration date! Yeast should be live!
So, now I add the softened butter and the water/milk that is at lukewarm and pour it all in. I like this!
great pictorial on how to do this)
I did the second rise for about 45 minutes. My rolls came out puny-- not at all like my beautiful rolls from a couple weeks ago! I was underwhelmed by the texture. I thought that they were dense.
The next day, I decided to try the recipe again. I was convinced that it wasn't King Arthur Flour's fault. What went wrong? Well, I think I dumped in too much flour. Oh, um.... well, er, I was out of KAF flour and used Brand X. A quick trip to the store remedied that. I repeated the same steps, except I added only 3 cups of flour-- deciding that I could always add more. I never did add that extra 1/2 cup.
If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here.

When they met Monday, Leavenworth County commissioners discussed expanding a program in which residents voluntary donate easements in exchange for having their streets paved.
When they met Monday, Leavenworth County commissioners discussed expanding a program in which residents voluntary donate easements in exchange for having their streets paved.
More than a dozen projects have been identified for the county's participatory road program. Public Works Director Mike Spickelmier said the county paved a section of a roadway last year as part of the program and another section this year.
"We would like to see the program expanded," he said.
He discussed with commissioners the possibility of adding projects to a candidate list.
Ultimately, County Administrator Pat Hurley said he will meet with Public Works officials to review possible projects. They then will return to the commissioners for more discussion about the program.
Spickelmier said most of the projects that have been identified are for local roads rather than what he would characterize as collector streets.
"We typically budget for one mile of road each year," he said.
Spickelmier said having a road placed on the candidate list isn't a guarantee that it will be paved. He said inclusion of a project indicates if residents are willing to do their part, the county will be willing to do its part.
In order for a project to be carried out as part of the program, all of the property owners along the affected roadway have to donate easements.
Spickelmier said anytime the county has to purchase easements, it gets expensive.
Unlike a benefit district, people who donate easements for the participatory road program don't have additional assessments placed on them for the road improvements, he said.
Commission Chairman Bob Holland questioned why a person wouldn't want to participate in the program in order to have the road paved in front of his or her house.
"A lot of times it's trees," Spickelmier said.
He said people don't want to lose trees located along the roadway.
Commissioner Dennis Bixby said he's in favor of expanding the program and using bonds for funding if there are enough qualified projects.
Holland said he also is supportive of such an expansion.
Commissioner Clyde Graeber said the only way the county can expand the program is through the use of bonds.
Hurley said Doug Smith, road and bridge superintendent for the county, has identified a number of potential projects. The county administrator said he would like to meet with Public Works officials about the projects and then come back to the commissioners.
Hurley said he also would like to see how many residents have not signed on to the projects that already have been identified.

If you believed everything you heard on TV talk shows or read on antivaccine Internet sites, you might never allow your child to become vaccinated. In one warning after another, vaccine opponents often exaggerate or even make up immunization risks, with no scientific evidence to support their claims. They may imply that vaccines aren't effective. At the same time, they downplay or don't discuss the serious diseases that vaccines can eliminate or reduce in frequency. No wonder some parents are left feeling anxious and, in some cases, keep their youngster unvaccinated at the risk of their child's health.
You've probably heard some of the arguments made by immunization skeptics. One vaccine or another is said to cause autism, or brain damage, or multiple sclerosis, or seizures. Sometimes the alarmists warn that the vaccines are so unreliable that they leave children just as vulnerable to diseases as they were before they were vaccinated. These claims would be upsetting if they were based on fact. But they're not, and they create plenty of fear among concerned parents.
Panels of experts have confirmed again and again that today's vaccines are safer than ever. In fact, the greatest risks come when children are not immunized. As a responsible parent, it's important for you to be fully informed. You can talk to your pediatrician if you have any concerns.
Before a vaccine is ever approved and licensed, it goes through years of testing for safety and effectiveness. Neither the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) nor government agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would recommend a vaccine that had not passed the tests for safety and effectiveness. Of course, no vaccine or medicine is perfect. Some boys and girls who are immunized will experience reactions. Fortunately, when they occur, most are mild and short lived. Your child may experience redness, pain, or swelling at the site of the injection. She may develop a slight fever. After a few days, however, these minor symptoms will disappear, with no lasting effects.

Hi, I had my braces tightened. Its paining a lot. Help me. Should I take pain killers. If so what? Please give me suggestion.
Bad breath is a dental problem which could also emanate due to poor digestion. It can also be experienced as a side effect of other ailments as well as medications. Smoking and bad diet may lead to this and it usually becomes a matter of low self-esteem as time goes by. Homeopathy is one of the most natural forms of medication, treatment and wellness when it comes to such problems that affect the lifestyle of the patient. These medicines usually combine very small doses of naturally found elements so as to cure an ailment or condition. Yet, it is important to remember that one must get a prescription for these medicines from a professional medical practitioner.
Read on to know more about the types of homeopathic remedies available for bad breath.
- Merc Sol: If your bad breath problem also comes with symptoms like a moist mouth or constant dribbling, then this medicine may be prescribed. This usually happens when the salivary glands become too active and produce more moisture than what the mouth can handle on a normal basis.
- Pulsatilla: This medicine is usually prescribed if the patient complains of a dry mouth along with a bad breath problem. This helps in treating related symptoms like the lack of proper hydration due to the lack of thirst. Not drinking enough water can also lead to the problem of dry mouth and thereafter, a bad odour from the mouth.
- Kreosote: This medicine is considered as a very effective medication for bad breath, especially if the bad breath takes place due to caries in the teeth. This medicine can also help patients who are experiencing bleeding gums along with caries and bad breath.
- Hepar Sulphur and Carbo Veg: The combination of these two medicines is known as one of the best when it comes to treating bad breath. The other symptoms that call for the prescription of these medicines include Gingivitis or gum infection related problems and symptoms. When there is bleeding and pus in the gums due to the infection, then this medicine is usually prescribed. Excessive salivation is also another symptom that is treated by this medicine combination. Hepar Sulphur can be used if there is a throat-related infection or ailment that can lead to the problem of bad breath.
- Carbolic Acid: A homeopathic doctor will usually prescribe this medicine if the problem of bad breath is accompanied by intense and perpetual pain in the abdomen. The patient will also complain of gas in stomach due to the ailment that affects the stomach in such cases. This gives rise to many symptoms including bad breath. Loss of appetite is also treated by this medicine. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a homeopath.

A former cinder cone volcano w/ trees and wind that circulate around the summit. Views of the lava flows below as well as Sierra Grande, a large extinct shield volcano to the southeast.
New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_mexico]

Cardinals ILB Washington suspended for 4 games
Cardinals ILB Washington suspended for 4 games
Apr. 04, 2013
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The NFL suspended Arizona Cardinals inside linebacker Daryl Washington on Wednesday for the first four games of next season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Washington made the Pro Bowl as an alternate last season. He led the Cardinals in 2012 with 140 tackles — 110 of them solo. He had nine sacks, 14 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, an interception, a fumble recovery and six passes defensed. Washington's nine sacks were the most by an NFL inside linebacker, and he also led the team in tackles in 2011.
He is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and in preseason games.
A second-round draft pick out of TCU in 2010, Washington signed a six-year contract last September.
"I was always taught that when you make a mistake, you admit it, learn from it and face whatever consequences there are," Washington said in a statement released by the team. "I take full responsibility and I understand that I let down my teammates, the organization and fans. I apologize for that and promise that no one will work harder to make up for it."
Washington added in a tweet, "I apologize to all my fans, teammates and to the Cardinals organization. I promise to work even harder and to not let you guys down anymore."
Arizona's first-year coach Bruce Arians also issued a statement through the team.
"Adversity and dealing with it is part of the business but when it's avoidable like this was, it's particularly tough," Arians said. "One of the biggest things we preach is accountability. Daryl knows that and our team knows that. We will deal with this and others will have to step up until he's back. I'm confident they will."

Biesse is the Group's business unit specialising in the woodworking segment.
Since 1969, it has designed, manufactured and marketed a comprehensive range of technologies and solutions for joiners and large furniture, windows, doors and wood building components manufacturers.
In recent years, it has also been active in the plastic processing machinery sector, developing ad-hoc solutions for a growing market.
Striving for continuous improvement means investing on all elements that support innovation on an ongoing basis.
We innovate in order to achieve process, product and service excellence.
Biesse's key distinctive technology solutions include:
Each machine undergoes on average 160 checks during the assembly stage in order to simulate the most challenging working conditions, and is also subject to a rigorous final proof test.
Each base has a tolerance of 2 hundredths of millimetre per linear meter.
In this way, apart from guaranteeing the quality of carpentry, it is possible to eliminate the need for any remedial work during the assembly phase, which would inevitably delay the machine's delivery.
The implementation of effective knowledge-sharing and technical/sales support, combined with a continuous training process, has enabled us to consolidate our partnership over the years with what is nowadays recognised as the best distribution network in the wood machinery sector.
18,000 m2 of showrooms worldwide to get to know Biesse first-hand and test the potential of Biesse and Intermac machines.
7,000 demos per year and a team of specialised technicians provide customers the possibility of testing the machines based on their production needs and of using the raw materials that will actually be employed in their manufacturing processes.
A new way to discover the company, the thought of the driver, the technological innovation that gives prestige, the testimonies of those who choose to grow, the events that animate it and the stories of those who make it every day with competence and dedication.

SEVARE, Mali (AP) — Tuareg fighters in northern Mali say they have seized control of the strategic city of Kidal and seven other northern towns from Islamist extremists.
The website of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad — the Tuaregs' name for northern Mali — made the claim Tuesday.
It was not possible to independently verify the Tuareg movement's claim. The Tuaregs' statement comes as French and Malian forces say they control the fabled desert city of Timbuktu.
The Tuareg group said it is "fully subscribed to the fight against terrorist organizations" and will work with French troops.
But it "categorically refuses" to allow the return to the north of the Malian army, which it accuses of summary executions of civilians.

RE: Man Made Global Warming
Its called climate change and not global warming. We have known that the earth has been warming for a very long time now, and its not even partially up for debate.

Yet absolutely none of those opinions matter at all, unless you are a climatologist. And I know you, and the other deniers aren't because 97%+ of climatologist agree that accelerated climate change is occurring. The people in charge, the corps, have convinced the people that they can have valid opinions on things they have absolutely no knowledge about. Surprisingly, they often form the same opinion as the people spouting said bull shit.

I realize that humans have destroyed a lot of things on Earth, we are killing nature, but as far as global warming is concerned, there are too many theories to put a finger on human influence alone. The sun flares, cosmic radiation, volcano eruptions, normal climate changes, there can be all sorts of non-human reasons. Still waiting for something that will convince me otherwise.
All of that has been debunked....
In fact volcanic eruptions launch tons and tons of debris into the upper atmosphere and cools the climate, and the CO2 released is next to nothing compared to what we pump out.
So yah...you are not exactly a reliable source.
We have taken a HUGE amount of carbon that has been safely stored within the earth and released it back into the atmosphere in the form of CO2.
The consequences of that is pretty much common sense.

RE: Man Made Global Warming
Well seeing as you have ALL the answers MysticJbird we may as well just close this thread havent we??? Never mind the amount of evidence I am still gathering to say otherwise..............Ill just get rid.
EDIT: Look im sorry but I have allways tried to be rational and look at things from both sides in everything that I encounter.......Im opposed by close minded individuals who I imagine havent put any of there own research into this they just take for granted what has been told to them.......without really putting forward anything on the table themselves.........im not just a "conspiracy theorist" but rather try to look at facts.
If you had bothered to watch any of the two videos I have posted Mystic you will see a member of congress addressing gore saying that there are legitimate scientists who oppose what is being said......yet they dont actually address these issues they just push forward legislation.
A carbon treaty has allready been accepted in australia with mega close votes.......like 37 for and 36 against or something.....do some research and look it up yourself......or you can disbelieve me if you like.
Im having a bit of a rant because im SICK to the back teeth of like I said people with opinions like they are sooooo sure yet again offer no proof.......yet if people give me time I can OFFER a decent arguement against this......your all entitled to your own opinions granted........ I have allready given up on trying to awaken people to the madness of how the economy works.....how power is being centralised all over the world like for example the EU........what does it achieve anyway??? The shit will allways carry on regardless wether I tell people.....so yeah Carbon taxing is coming people....the most "polluting" companies will be taxed heavily on everysingle ton of carbon and this cost will be transfered to the consumers.
Ive just had enough of it.....fuck it.......
Childish I know bet meh.
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

I am not a climatologist , so my opinion doesnt matter either. I get my evidence from the experts in the field, and I may question some of it, but I certainly do not dismiss it.
I am all for looking at both sides, but when 97% says its happening and 3% doesn't, then how do you even take the 3% seriously?
Of course it does happen, Dr M. King Hubbert propsed Hubbert peak theory back in 1956, and was laughed out of the field.
"In 1956, Hubbert proposed that fossil fuel production in a given region over time would follow a roughly bell-shaped curve without giving a precise formula; he later used the Hubbert curve, the derivative of the logistic curve,[5] for estimating future production using past observed discoveries.
Hubbert assumed that after fossil fuel reserves (oil reserves, coal reserves, and natural gas reserves) are discovered, production at first increases approximately exponentially, as more extraction commences and more efficient facilities are installed. At some point, a peak output is reached, and production begins declining until it approximates an exponential decline.
The Hubbert curve satisfies these constraints. Furthermore, it is roughly symmetrical, with the peak of production reached when about half of the fossil fuel that will ultimately be produced has been produced. It also has a single peak.
Given past oil discovery and production data, a Hubbert curve that attempts to approximate past discovery data may be constructed and used to provide estimates for future production. In particular, the date of peak oil production or the total amount of oil ultimately produced can be estimated that way. Cavallo[6] defines the Hubbert curve used to predict the U.S. peak as the derivative of:"
Of course we all know he was right now, but I think we have made A LOT of progress since 1956.
RE: Man Made Global Warming
I honestly don't really know what to think as the world is full of greed and corruption and it's very hard to see who is lying and/or telling the truth, scientist or not. We have no previous model to go on so it's mostly speculation. I don't think even top scientists know enough to know for certain. From what I have read/heard/seen I would be more inclined to go with bemore on this one.
The powers that be will clean up with the carbon taxing and unfortunately my country (Australia) is the lab rat!!! Behold, world, watch and learn on how NOT to do it.
If you read between the lines of what our government has said it will be the biggest emitters that will pay the least amount of carbon tax. You don't have to be Einstein to figure how that will pan out.
So, the way I figure it, even if we are causing the atmosphere to change by emitting excessive amounts of CO2, the measures that will be put in place won't change a thing except for the additional lining of the elites pockets.
Aside from that, we do need to get our acts together and look after our planet better.

Noticed how you got your peak oil mixed in with your ACC... hmmn.
Bemore is a compassionate sort, more concerned with economic chicanery as it is more immediate. Carbon tax is evidence of this nonsense.
RE: Man Made Global Warming
As long as money is perceived as the axis of the world, nothing will make sense; no reasonable, logical, effective, co-operative action will be taken.
Try looking at the data, stripped of $$$ figures.
Anyway, i see the race as between fossil fuel and life on Earth. If the oil runs out soon enough, we're saved; if not, we all die. Matter of luck: nobody's in control.
If you pray to anything, you're prey to anything.

You got the first part right. Love is the axis of the world.
In the second part, peak oil is more complicated that that. If you are simplifying by saying we need to find alternative fuel sources before it's too late, you got that part right too.
RE: Man Made Global Warming
I'm simplifying because it's simple. Our dependence on oil-fueled technology is finite; will end one way or another, and, as adaptable and innovative as some individual persons are, i don't see the mass of humankind changing voluntarily.
We don't need alternate sources of fuel. We need a completely different way of relating to the world, of values and endeavours, of organizing our societies, of building our homes, of feeding ourselves. All that is going to happen --- if we survive the change that circumstances of our making will force upon us in the next 50 years.
If you pray to anything, you're prey to anything.

Peterkin, I think you would really enjoy reading some of Gene Logstons books. He's not perfect, but it's the attitude that counts, and he's got a great one. "The Contrary Farmer" is one of the books that inspired me to travel teh road I have. (Not sure if you've read any posts of mine about the lifestyle I lead, but if you read the book you'll get a pretty good idea!)
So many cats, so few good recipes.

Tom Daley Talks About Having Gay Fans
Jonathan Higbee | August 5, 2013
It's rare for British Olympian Tom Daley to throw his gay fans a bone, ahem, but in a new interview with Digital Spy, the poster boy gave a shout out to the LGBT community. The acknowledgement came after the the subject of Tom being named one of gay mag Attitude's "Sexiest Men" came up.
Says Tom of the gay community:
"Everyone's been so supportive. [The voters] are the people cheering me on during the Olympics, these are the people that give me extra motivation during training. I really appreciate it."
You heard, Tom, fellas: keep motivating him with your adoration!

Top Reasons to Visit Banff Voyager Inn
- Banff Voyager Inn sits in the midst of the Canadian Rockies, just a few minutes from forested hiking trails and glacier-fed lakes inside Banff National Park.
- The area is home to hundreds of downhill ski trails, and ski season typically runs from November to April.
- All double-queen guest rooms have free WiFi and private balconies with views of the surrounding mountains.
- The chefs at Mountain Home Smokehouse Grill smoke baby back ribs, beef brisket, and German-style pork loin on site.
- The hotel has a heated outdoor pool that's open all year long, as well as an indoor hot tub and sauna.
- It's just a 15-minute walk from downtown Banff, where you'll find restaurants and shops set along the Bow River.
Banff, Alberta: Tiny Town in the Canadian Rockies with Year-Round Outdoor Activities
The tiny mountain town of Banff is ringed by rugged peaks and dense pine forests in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, about 90 minutes west of Calgary. The town is just minutes away from year-round outdoor activities at Banff National Park. The park encompasses 2,564 square miles of snow-capped mountains, coniferous forests, and glacial lakes that are a shocking shade of blue; U.S. News & World Report called Banff one of the best national parks in the world.
In the winter, skiing is the area's big draw, with three ski resorts totaling nearly 300 runs. Once the snow melts, you can still enjoy the brisk mountain air on miles of hiking and mountain-biking trails such as Stoney Squaw Summit, an uphill route that wends through dense forests to a stunning mountain vista. Another popular attraction—Banff Upper Hot Springs—is open to the public all year long. The mineral-rich waters, which stay at a constant 98–104 degrees Fahrenheit, are part of the highest hot-springs system in Canada.
Downtown Banff is a bustling commercial center filled with independent shops. A slew of bars and restaurants serve bison, venison, and elk. The sparkling Bow River winds through town; take a stroll along the Bow River Falls trail and you'll get up-close views of the cascading waters.

Ever found yourself wandering around your favourite boutique, uncertain which rail was menswear and which was aimed at the fairer sex? That shouldn't be a problem come next Spring as, if Saint Laurent Paris's New Year menswear range is anything to go by, androgyny is in.
The newly rebranded ready-to-wear arm of the legendary Yves Saint Laurent fashion house has seen its creative director Hedi Silmane pick Dutch female model Saskia de Brauw as the face of its Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
The wiry 31 year-old model looks sharp in the line's tailoring, with her cropped cut hair and defined bone structure giving her a Jagger style swagger that many male models would struggle to pull off. It's not de Brauw's first gender-bending modeling stint, having done previous work during the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2013 menswear show.
Silmane is well known for his gender-neutral styles too, championing slim-fit trousers and suits for Dior Homme that have been as popular with the ladies as the men they were first aimed at. As a result, the new campaign for his debut line for Saint Laurent Paris will stress that all items are available to both genders.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — High-level peace talks to end fighting in eastern Congo have stalled because of disagreements over amnesty, disarmament, integration and security arrangements for the M23 rebels, U.N. envoys said Monday.
Mary Robinson, the U.N. special envoy for the Great Lakes region of central Africa, told the Security Council that Congolese and M23 negotiators reached agreement on eight of 12 articles in a draft peace agreement and "have agreed to reconvene soon in order to overcome their differences."
Martin Kobler, the U.N. special representative for Congo, expressed disappointment that after four days and nights of negotiations a comprehensive deal wasn't reached — despite pressure from five international envoys — but he said "I consider that the remaining gaps can be bridged."
He said the objective remains to conclude a peace agreement to end the rebellion, disband the M23 and transform it into "a political movement" under Congo's constitution and laws.
Kobler said it was especially regrettable that this objective couldn't be reached because "considerable progress" was made on amnesty for the rebels and security arrangements. He urged the M23 "to move constructively and without delay to sort out in the next few days the remaining issues."
The M23 fighters are made up of Congolese soldiers, mostly from the Tutsi ethnic group, who deserted the national army last year after accusing the government of failing to honor the terms of a deal signed in March 2009.
The talks in the Ugandan capital, Kampala have repeatedly stalled amid sporadic clashes between Congolese forces and M23 rebels in eastern Congo.
Kobler told the Security Council that regardless of progress in the talks, "the situation on the ground remains volatile and of great concern."
In recent days, he said the U.N. peacekeeping force observed "a considerable military build-up" around the key city of Goma and areas held by the M23. Rebel fighters also fired twice at unarmed U.N. helicopters and strengthened offensive positions threatening U.N. peacekeepers, he said.
Chrispus Kiyonga, the Ugandan government minister who is mediating the talks, said he believed a final accord would soon be reached but he gave no details.
On Saturday, M23 said in a statement that a peace deal was likely to be signed "in the coming hours."
But Lawrence Kanyuka, M23's deputy head of communications, said negotiators for the government walked out of a meeting Sunday night, saying they wanted M23 to expel Roger Lumbala for insulting Congo's President Joseph Kabila months ago in Burundi.
Lumbala is the deputy head of M23's negotiators in Uganda, which has been mediating the talks under the banner of a regional bloc. The latest negotiations were bolstered by the presence of Robinson, Kobler, and envoys from the African Union, the United States and the European Union.
Robinson said the "alarming reports" of a military build-up near Goma and in M23 areas "highlighted the urgency of reaching a political agreement to prevent a return to hostilities and the escalation of tensions in the region."
She said the parties reached consensus on the release of prisoners; the end of M23 as a rebel movement and its possible establishment as a political party; the return and resettlement of refugees and displaced people; looted property during M23's occupation of Goma last November; establishment of a national reconciliation commission; reforms of the government and economy; and implementation of a 2009 peace agreement and the agreement under discussion.
Robinson urged the parties to remain committed "to a swift conclusion" of a peace deal and said the five envoys will help achieve that goal.
Rodney Muhumuza contributed to this report from Kampala, Uganda and Saleh Mwanamilongo from Kinshasa, Congo.

Haunted House Is So Terrifying You Need to Sign a Waiver
There's scary. Then, there's this.
A haunted house in Fullerton, Calif. bills itself as so frightening that visitors must sign a waiver before going inside.
It's called The 17th Door and is "based around a 'prison maze nightmare' in which the actors are allowed to touch guests." The added layer of contact certainly sounds like it can add to the fright factor, right?
Tickets begin at 22 bucks a pop and if anyone becomes too terrified they can simply say "Mercy" to leave the facility.
And if there's anything scary to us, it's dropping $22 and then not even getting all you can for your money.
Take a look at the haunted house and decide for yourself if the horror meets the hype.
