phewwwwwwww.....thats all what comes out when i try and speak somethin tonight....
Have bin awake since what seems lyk eternity now,and i know that my organs are gonna kill me if i dnt see the face of my bed soon...but frankly speaking, i'm not in a mood to do so....just wanna have a cuppa hot coffee and a muffin ,and someone to talk to,as i bid farewell to cognizance 07....
Lookin at myself in the mirror yesterday..
n was freaked out to see the image...
was it me or was it someone else??
I remember a guy with small eyes
with big dreams in them
trying to stand on his own feet
crawling,scratchin himself
but trying ,trying everyday to conquer the world
with all that he could do
with all he could think of
was it me or was it someone else???
A smile that could never fade
An attitude that could melt a million hearts...
With a lot more than just bed n baggage
he stood there at the gates of IITR...
A new world beckoned him..
He knew this was the time
the day that he had yearned for
and not a single speck
could blur his vision...
A vision which he long had
since the day his father pushed him out of the house
he knew he'd go one day...
and now the time was nigh...
Was it me or was it someone else??
He got a world to live,
a life to lead...
He got people to meet
and jeers to heed...
He got weeks to hate,
and weekends to love...
He got fame and endless names,
but not for once that elusive touch of happiness
He tried to make the best of it...
and got through the worst of it
but the tide of time could not carry him through
locked up inside that hole,he dreamt of flying high one day
those dreams nevr came out true....
He'd got nothing to do,and nobody to talk to
On memories he lived,on dreams he survived
Mistakes he did make and couldnt rectify
coz he had crossed the line too far
entangled in the web of his own ignominy
he lay there wondering
Was it me or was it someone else???
He wished an angel
in its arms he could fly away from here
from this dark cold room
and the endlessness that he could feel
To be pulled from the wreckage
of his silent revery
In the arms of his angel
He would find some comfort here...
The angel never did come
and trapped in his solitude
he lay hopeless ,his eyes bleeding with the thought...
Was it me or was it someone else??
The pages of time turned
and took him into a new world...
a world which was anything but ordinary
a world full of new people....
the stories he heard,and the laughter that reverberated inside him
all seemed to be so invigorating,so sweet
he couldnt help but let himself lose
and let him know how it feels to back in the race
to be back in the crowd
to be back with his smile
for a while he was the king
everythin seemed to be so god damned rite
Was it me or was it someone else?
He knew it wont last long
"all good things come to an end"-they say
He knows now he's got nothin to expect
friendship isnt a word in the dictionary here
He's sick of being left out everytime
he's stuck inside a world he hates...
He's sick of everyone around
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies...
Everythin has come around
He knows now God must hate him
He cursed him for eternity
Was it me or was it someone else???
Lookin at myself in the mirror yesterday..
n was freaked out to see the image...
coz there's somthin so wrong in me
that i've got to live with
The times are a changing
With the spring in the air,
n pretty girls are everywhere...
Alas!!there are somethings which would never be there...
I wish i could write my story and have everything
forever and ever and ever
A story where nobody would bid goodbye...
But i still dont understand-
Is it me or is it someone else???
Me Or Someone else???

The Lexicon of Named Rock Units database provides BGS definitions of terms that appear on our maps and in our publications.
You can search for full or part-names of rock units.
Full Lexicon entries include:
The database holds definitive online information about lithostratigraphical and lithodemic units and other, less formal, units.
The Lexicon is a dynamic database where new entries are added and existing entries are revised, upgraded and reclassified.
The Lexicon information is a current BGS interpretation. Free access is provided on the basis that the data are 'as seen', and are subject to revision without notice.
All entries carry a code describing the level of information held including:
Only about 25% of Lexicon entries currently include full definitions — formal or informal. The detail level in each category is broadly comparable, but the informal definitions do not meet all the criteria of modern stratigraphical procedures. Informal definitions may become formal as mapping progresses and knowledge of the rocks improves. Older full definitions were flagged simply as formal or informal, but it is now recognised that some definitions might be valid only locally, whereas others are of national, or even international, applicability. In the future these distinctions will be recorded. Meanwhile, the full formal and informal definitions can be considered applicable in the areas of the stratotypes described, and potentially across wider geographical extents.
The Lexicon took over some functions of a BGS database/dictionary (BGS.Dic_Strat) that was built to hold unique codes for all rock units shown on BGS maps and referred to in publications up to and after its creation. Some entries were neither allostratigraphical, lithostratigraphical nor lithodemic. Thus the Lexicon has inherited entries related to rock units that cannot be defined in terms of a modern formal stratigraphy. Such quasi-stratigraphical entries include those for some superficial deposits (e.g. alluvium and head) that form expedient units for mapping purposes, and for un-named bedrock bodies (including un-named igneous intrusions) that are labelled with a specific lithology.
For further information on the Lexicon of Named Rock Units, please contact Dr Tim McCormick.

If you were an indie-rock fan in the mid-1980s, then you undoubtedly stumbled upon Miracle Legion. In the post R.E.M. jangle-rock landscape, they called it "college rock" and the Connecticut-based Miracle Legion ruled. It happened again with his work on Nickelodeon's Adventures of Pete & Pete with the fake-band Polaris made up of Miracle Legion musicians.
Mark Mulcahy was the lead singer of both of those bands, and he's back with his fifth solo album, Dear Mark J. Mulcahy I Love You. He visits with David Dye to discuss his long career and perform four songs in the World Cafe studio.

The appeal to her of the people she writes about, historian Jenny Uglow says, is "when something that they should do occurs to them, they think, 'Why not?'"
And, indeed, Uglow's books always have an original angle. She likes to find a relatively unknown — and fascinating — part of history, research it thoroughly, and turn it into a book. Most of her reviewers have commented favorably on these choices. Her latest is "The Pinecone: The Story of Sarah Losh, Forgotten Romantic Heroine — Antiquarian, Architect and Visionary" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). Uglow grew up in the part of Cumbria, England, that's the site of the unusual church Losh designed and built between 1840 and 1842. "She amused me," says Uglow of her subject. "I like strong people who forged her own way. She might be a bit scary to meet — intense and forceful, but obviously, she was reserved, too."
Losh was a member of the local gentry, a family who made a substantial fortune through investment and innovation. Neither she nor her sister, Katharine, ever married — clearly by choice, since both were attractive, personable and, of course, heiresses. Uglow questions whether Losh would have been able to find a suitable mate among the men who were available; most, she says, would have "bored her rigid." Sarah and her sister were very close; the former was devastated when her sister died young, and, in the end, the two were buried together.
When Losh decided to create her church, she led the town elders to believe that she was just planning to restore an existing one. The historian Rosemary Hill notes, "When they say, 'It's in a dilapidated state' — watch out." Then Losh tore the church down and created an entirely new one, marked by a Romanesque inspiration and a remarkable variety of carvings, including a font in the shape of a stork, and many other animal carvings, along with plenty of the organic inspiration for the church's name, pine cones. She even did some of the carving herself. "She got up on the ladder with her great skirts," Uglow says.
Most people who see the church for the first time assume it is an Arts & Crafts movement building, but in fact it's unique, created 50 years before the Arts & Crafts era. In doing her research, Uglow found two or three families, who had lived in the town for generations, and she saw their daybooks from the time. "People are very passionate about their area," she says. "I really felt like part of a community, as if I were writing their book for them."
Uglow has written 11 other books, including "The Lunar Men: Five Friends Whose Curiosity Changed the World," "A Gambling Man: Charles II's Restoration Game" and "Nature's Engraver: A Life of Thomas Bewick." She describes herself as "semiretired"; she works as an editor at Chatto & Windus, where she oversees the work of only five writers. She has a new book in the works about life in Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. "It's a crowd biography," she explains. "It's kind of a home-front book — who did well, who lost out."

Packs with modified atmosphere
In the case of a Modified Atmosphere Package (MAP), the natural atmosphere in the pack is replaced by an atmosphere that is appropriate for the product.
In the case of a Modified Atmosphere Package (MAP), the natural atmosphere in the pack is replaced by an atmosphere that is appropriate for the product.
The atmosphere inside a MAP pack is replaced by a gas mixture appropriate for the product in order to maintain the shape, colour and freshness of the product. This modified atmosphere usually consists of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen.
There are many products that often utilize a modified atmosphere, such as fresh food, products containing protein, bread and baked goods, as well as certain medical and technical products.
Among the advantages of a MAP pack are the extension of the shelf life and the assurance of quality, as well as handling and transport protection of the product. When packaging food, the shelf life can be extended by the use of MAP without using food additives. Industrial and consumer goods can be protected from corrosion through the use of a modified atmosphere in the pack. In the field of medical technology, a modified atmosphere can protect sensitive medical products.
This type of packaging can be produced by thermoforming packaging machines, traysealers and chamber machines.
In the case of an EMAP pack, the atmosphere between the pack and the environment can be modified due to a micro perforation of the packaging film. An equilibrium modified atmosphere is thereby created in the pack.
EMAP is a shelf life extending equilibrium modified atmosphere for fresh fruit and fresh vegetables - whole or prepared.
The benefits of an EMAP pack include a longer shelf life of the packaged products without the use of preservatives. The sturdy, sealed pack provides handling protection at the point of sale. Stackable packs can also be attractively presented at the point of sale. With FreshSAFE, MULTIVAC provides a packaging system with an integrated perforation station for thermoforming packaging machines and traysealers, in which the top film is perforated during the packaging procedure. Accordingly, standard film can be processed and perforated film does not need to be stored.
EMAP packs can be produced by thermoforming packaging machines, as well as by traysealers. The packaging material required is a pre-perforated film or standard film with a peforating unit from MULTIVAC.

Hey Keith, I love you man. I have watched you on many different shows and networks since Sportscenter. I remember when they wouldn't move it to New York for you (a sad time for me). Anywho, how come you only strategize about how the Phillies can lose the World Series. Really?? They can't even beat the Angels? Would you please use your considerable sport reasoning skills to tell me how the Phillies CAN win? I'd like to use this information to impress my friends (and enemies)–the same way I use Countdown to pretend I have opinions about politics.
P.S. Tell Rachel I said Hi!!!
Great analysis, Keith – it puts a whole new understanding of the inside game for teams I don't follow as close as I'd like. You just got to love the chess games going on and how it fantastically makes hitting the ball-throwing the ball-catching the ball so amazing. I appreciate the insight. As for the "one swing" utterance with such a swing soon following, sometimes the drought does break 2005 NLDS, Atlanta at Houston, Game Four – the 18 Inning Monster. Brad Ausmus (of all people) comes up to bat, down by one, no one on, two outs, bottom of the 9th, Kyle Farnsworth throwing. A friend mutters bemusedly, "Here comes the Power." And I intone, "Here comes the Pain." (and I didn't mean pain for Atlanta) Following the unlikely solo HR (2-0 fastball) was another NINE INNINGS of "just one swing of the bat …ect" Luke Scott "missed it by that much!" but Chris Burke finally found that one such swing. I wasn't listening to the broadcast but ya know how it goes, a clock's right two times a day and assuredly they were clock watching every at bat.
I liked your phrase, "eyechart-defying umpiring". My 70-something mother is virtually blind in one eye from a cataract, only has 20/30 vision in the other eye, and even she saw the bad calls that were being made. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic.
Right now, I'd rather see Bob Uecker pitch, than AJ Burnett. To those who might say, "But he was never a pitcher," I would reply, "I know. That's my point. And at least Bob would be entertaining." It's ridiculous that the Yankees weren't able to put the Angels away tonight. If it gets to the point where it comes down to a win-or-go-home 7th game, Girardi should be tarred and feathered, then thrown into the Hudson.
Since astrophann brought a Get Smart reference into this, I'll add another one. In response to, "That trick never works," I submit what Maxwell Smart once said to Siegfried: "The trick is stupid! The trick is childish! …And the trick is working…."
I began cursing at the television when I saw AJ coming out in the bottom of the 7th. Dumb move to stay with him. The Yanks had already cheated death once by getting the 6 runs, why mess around? AJ did his job, turn it over to Hughes and Mo to close it down. I bet the inning would have gone much differently if Phil had begun the inning, rather than come in with runners on.
One other questionable move of Joe's was sending in Guzman to pinch run for A-Rod. Guzman never attempted to steal, so what was the point? He's not that much faster than A-Rod, and if the Yanks had tied it, they'd be without their biggest bat for the rest of the way. Made no sense to me. Pinch run for Matsui, of course. But never take your best hitter out of the game when there's still a chance you'll need him.
When Countdown is on and a game is in progress, do you keep an eye on the game (I noticed during an interview this week that someone in a newsroom had the game on) or do you tell the staff not to say anything and then you pick it up on tape at 9?
Keith you keep obsessing about Howard. Haven't you watched any of the Phillies games in the last 2 seasaons? Many, many games were won without the offensive help of Ryan Howard. As good as he is, which is tremendous, probably working on becoming an all-time great at the plate, the Phils' still have awesome offensive power and speed with Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Ibanez, Feliz and Ruiz. This is a team of total contribution. They even had 2 games in the post-season where everyone hit, including the pitcher and everyone scored. They aren't afraid of CC. They handled him quite well last year in the playoffs without the help of Ryan Howard. Meanwhile, the Phils are still waiting for their WS opponent.
This Time For SURE!
Going to have to get another (B)at.
Regarding Burnett going out for the seventh, watching TV, it seemed like Joba didn't even get up until they were two outs and the score was already 6-4. (I'm basing that on trusting that they usually show when someone starts throwing and the fact that Joba appeared to be trying to heat up fast.) Is it possible that Burnett went out for the seventh because Girardi hadn't anticipated getting the lead, and so Burnett had to go out?
Do I ever feel late to the party. Just discovered this blog. And I'm angry I didn't find it sooner. Great insight as always, Keith. Now if only you were libertarian. 🙂
I am a huge fan and have been watching Countdown forever. However, you are also a monster Homer. I know you're a yankees fan, and that's ok, but if you think that the Phillies are a collection of nobodies surrounding Ryan Howard and that's the reason that the Yankees will win, then you are not quite as knowledgeable about baseball as I thought. The Phils are world champs, and part of the reason for that is that they lit up C.C. when he was with the Brewers. I realize that the Yanks are not the Brewers, but you can't write them off because of one man's performance against left handers. I also hold up the fact that 4 other people could have won the NLCS MVP: Werth, Ruiz, Lee, or Victorino. I hope you and the rest of the media pick the Yankees, because the Phils love to be underdogs. I think it should be one heck of a series!

Weiss hopeful Francis' experience translates to 'pen
DENVER -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss said he hopes veteran left-hander Jeff Francis, who struggled in 11 early-season starts before being sent to Triple-A Colorado Springs, can learn the relief role well enough to return and contribute.
The club announced Friday that Francis, after six starts at Colorado Springs, will convert to the bullpen. The 32-year-old has made just one relief appearance in 216 Major League games and two in 84 games in the Minors.
"Jeff brings a lot to the table in experience and wisdom and ability to pitch up here," Weiss said. "He's got a good track record and he's a great pro. If that's a role that he can fill for us, one that he can do successfully, I don't doubt that."
Weiss said the Rockies haven't determined if Francis would be used as a specialist against difficult left-handed hitters or in a multiple-innings role.

The subject of evo-devo, which became established almost a decade ago, is particularly dependent on the six main model organisms that have been inherited from developmental biology (fruit fly, nematode worm, frog, zebrafish, chick and mouse).
To help understand how developmental change underpins evolution, evo-devo researchers have, over recent years, selected dozens of new model organisms, ranging from sea anemones to dung beetles, to study.
One of the selection criteria deemed most crucial is the phylogenetic position of prospective model organisms, which reflects their evolutionary relationships.
Phylogenetic position is employed in two common, but problematic, ways, either as a guide to plug holes in unexplored regions of the phylogenetic tree, or as a pointer to species with presumed primitive (ancestral) characteristics.
Drs Ronald Jenner and Matthew Wills from the Department of Biology & Biochemistry at the University of Bath (UK), call for a more judicious approach to selecting organisms, based on the evo-devo themes that the organism can shed light on.
"It is fair to say that, since its inception, some workers feel that evo-devo hasn't quite lived up to its early expectations," said Dr Jenner.
"Partly this is because too much was expected too soon, but we suspect that in terms of its future promise the current choice of new model organisms has not yet been optimised.
Dr Wills said: "Many models to date, in particular the big six, have been chosen because they are easy to keep in the laboratory, select and breed.
"Whilst this is generally fine in the context of development research, the benefits to evo-dev o as a subject are limited.
"There are upwards of 35 phyla of animals, and four of our six best models come from just one phylum.
"However, that doesn't mean that simply choosing new models to plug holes in the phylogenetic tree is the best option for further progress in evo-devo."
Dr Jenner added: "The popular advice of choosing new model organisms to maximise phylogenetic spread is nice to show diversity, but it doesn't necessarily lead to new general insights about evolution.
"Choosing new models in this way leaves it entirely a matter of chance whether a new model will illuminate a particular evo-devo theme.
"Instead, we urge workers to select new models specifically to illuminate hitherto neglected general themes within evo-devo.".
In other cases, new model organisms are chosen on the basis of how well they are thought to represent a particular ancestral organism. In connection to this practice, the researchers point to 'basal bias?as another way that scientists may get it wrong when choosing new model organisms.
This occurs when scientists choose an organism because it was the first to branch off from its ancestor, rather than because it has known genetic or developmental similarities to it.
"We caution against this widely used rule of thumb, and advise the use of additional criteria, such as molecular branch lengths, to choose species as best representatives of ancestral body plans," said Dr Jenner.
"Just because an organism has sprung from the base of the evolutionary tree does not make it more primitive and representative.
"Equally, those that became separate species further down the evolutionary line are not necessarily increasingly different from that common ancestor.
"Among living species that descended from a particular common ancestor, those designated as 'basal?are those that are separated from this ancestor by the smallest number of speci ation events.
"Sometimes evolution speeds up in association with speciation ?an organism can change a lot in this time.
"However, substantial evolutionary change may also occur in the absence of speciation, so basal species are not necessarily, or even likely a more conserved model of the ancestor.
"We need to make better use of the techniques that allow us to calculate how much an organism's genome has changed over time, when making assessments about how much an animal resembles its ancestor, because this information can be helpful in estimating how much an organism's phenotype has changed."
Dr Wills added: "Establishing criteria for choosing model organisms is important in this field, especially given the pressure on available funding sources.
"We encourage evo-devo workers to communicate with funding agents so that the limited resources available will not be disproportionately channelled to the 'big six? which, while important, cannot illuminate all evo-devo's central themes.
"If we want to understand how insects evolved wings or how legs developed from fins, we need to judiciously choose several models from specific parts of the phylogenetic tree.
"There is little point in blindly increasing the diversity of model systems, without some specific goals in mind.
"Our toolkit is too narrow, so as a community we need to clarify our objectives and set the agenda for future studies."

text: Philosophy is to attack and attack December 12, 200712:00AM PST Previous Next Steve Ewen - The Province A championship season didn't buy Bob Lilley the usual two or three years' grace. He was ousted as Whitecaps coach after the USL First Division campaign in September. His three-year tenure sandwiched two first-round playoff exits around that 2006 league championship. It's obvious that the team brass wanted a more upbeat style than Lilley was promoting, what with all the banging of the entertaining, attacking drum that team president Bob Lenarduzzi's been doing of late. But Lilley did come with a reputation for a defensive focus from other stops in the USL, didn't he? "We were on the receiving end of a 4-0 thumping from one of Bob's teams," said Lenarduzzi, pointing to a playoff game in 2001 between the Whitecaps and the Hershey Wildcats. "I knew he was tagged as a defensive coach and knew he paid attention to defence, but I always felt that he was quite prepared to attack then, too. I felt the tag he got then was wrong." New skipper Teitur Thordarson was saying all the right things Wednesday: "We hope that we can play a very ... attacking football That's what we like. Football is about results. There are different way to get results. But my philosophy has been to play attacking football. That's what we'll try to do." Lilley was named head coach of the Detroit Ignition of the Major Indoor Soccer on Nov. 6. © The Vancouver Province 2007 Previous Next

Leaderboard Upgrade Placing/Points Explanation
Leaderboard Upgrade Placing/Points Explanation
Many events hold only "Open" divisions where professionals and amateurs compete in one division. As a service to our amateur members, the USEA has established a system to recognize amateurs who are not always able to earn qualifications for the American Eventing Championships (AEC) or earn enough points for the USEA Year-End Award Leaderboards. While we have many amateurs who are competitive in the Open divisions, our hope is that more of our amateurs will receive an opportunity to qualify for the designated Amateur or Junior divisions at the AEC.
For divisions that are not designated as Amateur or Junior, the USEA will 'pull out' the professionals and upgrade the amateurs, Young Adult amateurs, and Juniors in placing. For example, if an amateur rider who has declared their amateur status on their USEA membership and a 13 year-old Junior rider place 4th and 5th respectively behind three professional riders, they will be upgraded to 1st and 2nd respectively and receive leaderboard points for 1st and 2nd. They will also have the opportunity to use their 1st and 2nd placings to qualify for the AEC.
Effective December 1, 2015
The upgrade policy is not intended to discourage riders from competing amongst their peers; however, the USE recognizes it is a rider's choice which section to enter. In order to create some equality at competitions that offer junior sections, if an eligible junior opts to enter a non-age restricted Rider Division, or Open Division, when a Junior Division is offered, the upgrade policy will not apply. Juniors not eligible to compete in a Rider Division – as defined in Appendix 3 of the USEF Rules for Eventing – shall receive the full benefits of the upgrade policy.
This is for leaderboard and AEC qualifying purposes only, and will not change the official results of an event. Any riders that are 19 and older and have not declared amateur status will still receive the original points and placings they have earned.
Everyone deserves a chance to compete equally with their peers, and event organizers do their best to place riders into fair divisions. To make this easier for organizers, please remember to designate your preferred divisions (Amateur, Rider, Horse, Young horse, Open, or Championship) on the "Eligible Section" at the top of the USEA Entry Form.
This upgrade to placings does not guarantee AEC qualification, riders and horses must still meet all of the qualifying criteria. Please check the List of AEC Qualified Horses and List of AEC Qualified Riders if you are unsure of your qualification status.
If you have questions about your amateur declaration, please check your status by logging into the USEA Online Services or contact the USEA Membership Department at 703-779-0440 (2).
The USEA Amateur & Junior Upgrade Placing/Points formula is not applied toward the Overall Leader Board or to any Horse Leaderboard category.
Junior Upgrade Placing/Points (JR)
• Applies only to those 18 (to the end of the calendar year turning 18) and younger, participating in non-Junior/ designated divisions at events that do not offer a junior section.
• Points apply only toward the "Junior" Leaderboard, having met all other eligibility requirements.
• Placings will apply toward AEC Junior division qualifications, having met all other eligibility requirements.
• Upgrade placing/points is determined by the placing of non-amateurs in the division, not age of the rider.
Amateur Upgrade Points (AM)
• Applies to those who have declared Amateur Status with the USEA for the current competition year.
• Points apply only toward the "Amateur" Leaderboard, having met all other eligibility requirements.
• Placings will apply toward AEC Amateur division qualifications, having met all other eligibility requirements.
Young Adult Rider Upgrade Points/Placings (YA)
• Applies only to those from the beginning of the calendar year turning 19 to the end of the calendar year turning 21and have declared Amateur Status during the current competition year, participating in non-Young Rider designated divisions.

Just wondering what's the best place for reception (thinking on the dash even though the manual doesnt recommend it) for this radio or others if the model is not important. BTW, our stock Mazda decks do NOT have an aux out. But does have a satellite button.

"But I think to succeed eReaders need to meet the needs, not just of the direct user, but of those around them, the friends and family who may not welcome their loved one's absorption in this exciting new media. They are the "next largest context" within which the new device must win acceptance… The first question [with a digital device] is no longer "what are you reading?" It's "what are you doing?" – a question that somehow already carries a hint of reproach."
Beautiful: capturing graffiti with an ultra-basic setup (torch sellotaped to pen and webcam), and then translating that into vector geometry that can be stored as an XML dialect. I like how simple and open it is, and the fact that Graffiti Markup Language is designed to be used in the field (even if it can't be yet).
"In one sense, Up Against the Wall, Motherfucker! is a truly exotic bit of esoterica — a game on the Columbia riots, printed back in 1969 in the pages of the Columbia Daily Spectator, and designed by James F. Dunnigan, one of the finest and most prolific designers of board wargames… In Up Against the Wall, Motherfucker! you play either as Columbia University's administration, or as the radicals who have seized control of Fayerweather Hall. You are attempting to influence the opinions of various stakeholders in the university — students of different sorts, the alumni, and so on. Random event cards influence play. Ultimately, the side that gains the greatest sympathy on the part of university stakeholders wins."
"Zoom in on that spot there." Blade Runner has a lot to answer for; notably, this.

Chris Hansen
"Why don't you take a seat over there?"
Chris "Fuck Seats" Hansen is some kind of game show host, President of the Anti-Predator Club, and the worst cock block I have ever met. Fuck that guy.
Hansen seems to have very few redeeming characteristics. He is thin, weedy, nerdy, and has probably never had sex in his life. And he's channeled all that sexual frustration into making sure that no one else ever, ever gets any. His only redeeming quality — if this can be considered one — is a near-superhuman ability to make people take a seat over there when, quite frankly, they'd rather not.
I hate Chris Hansen. He's the reason I have to register and go door to door whenever I move...
My history with Chris Hansen[edit]
I went to high school with Chris Hansen, where he quickly established himself as a giant douchebag. For example, one time, we were drinking beer down at Elk Lake, and I was totally going to score with Mike Dober's little sister. I was showing her my collection of pogs, and I could practically see her nipples stiffening under her overalls.
And then Chris Hansen walked up, and he said, "Wow, Molly, you shouldn't even be here, let alone drinking. For Christ's sake, you're twelve. Let me give you a ride home." I said, "Hey, let me come with you." He just gave me a look and said, "Why don't you just have a seat right over there?" I don't know why, but I did. And then he drove her home.
Fucking cock block asshole.
My continuing encounters with Chris Hansen[edit]
So, after we graduated, I hoped I'd never see Chris Hansen again. And five years later, I meet this incredible girl on a Miley Cyrus message board, and after talking to her for a few days, she agrees she'd like to go on a date with me.
So I totally pack this picnic basket like she asked me to, right? Red wine and Thai curry for me, and grape juice and pancakes for her. She told me she really liked having pancakes for dinner. And her parents were totally out of town and couldn't make any for her.
It was going to be the perfect date. I totally even brought her this cute little stuffed bear. She told me she was into those. I mean, I was being all romantic and everything, because you've kind of got to play it that way before you push her up a wall and pound her raw.
Anyway, I drive up to her house, and I knock on the door, and guess who's there? Yep. Fucking Chris Hansen.
And I'm like "Ummm.... what the hell are you doing here, Chris?" And Chris says, "Why don't you take a seat over there?" And, for reasons I still don't understand, I took a seat over there. Motherfucker has some Yoda Klingon mind-meld powers or something.
Then he proceeds to tell me I'm not allowed to sleep with this girl! Apparently Chris managed to get through life with no understanding at all of the guy code. Hey, Chris, here's a page from that code: you don't fucking show up on another guy's date and tell him you're going to prevent him from scoring.
Shortly after that I moved out of my place and spent a few years with a few hundred irrationally violent roommates.
Which was fucking gay. But I've got my own place again. So, ladies, if you want to come over and see my My Little Pony collection, give me a ring.
Many fans didn't want To Catch a Predator to end, so Hansen was under pressure to come up with something. He thought up of the Anti-Predator Club. He's been president since it's founding in 2007. Hansen's presidential slogan is "Why don't you take a seat?"

Confession: My first cocktail was a Tokyo Tea—and no, I wasn't 21 yet. Thanks to my older sister who looks enough like me, I was able to start bar hopping much younger. Hopefully my daughter doesn't follow in my rebellious footsteps, and if she does, let's hope she has better taste, because the electric green Tokyo Tea isn't exactly the most sophisticated of adult beverages. The good news? Maturity has made me appreciate alcohol—as opposed to its effects—and the complexities of what can be done when it's mixed, muddled, shaken, and stirred with fresh-squeezed fruits, syrups, or sodas. Current cocktail favorites include Negronis, homemade jalapeño-cucumber margaritas (courtesy of my lingering summer garden), and well-made Manhattans. I still don't discriminate when it comes to spirits, but at least I've graduated from pouring them all into the same glass, right?
Speaking of liquor, this month's feature story, "Drink Up," is all about alcohol. Pour yourself something strong and then turn to page 53 for 22 must-try cocktails (including the one on our cover from Land Ocean), plus some fun, informative facts about each establishment where they're available. We also introduce you to four of our region's most beloved bartenders, recommend home bar must-haves, spotlight local distilleries, and share a handful of beautiful (and boozy!) recipes courtesy of mobile mixologists. No matter how ominous the political (and actual) climate may be, at least we have cocktails to carry us through.
In honor of autumn, we have a cornucopia of content dedicated to one of the most special seasons. Turn to The 10 Spot (page 18), for creative ways to welcome it—think Apple Hill adventures, foliage-filled drives, and harvest-inspired cooking classes.
Speaking of autumnal eats, this issue's Taste department (page 78) includes must-make recipes that highlight fall's most versatile vegetable: the squash. Whether stuffed, roasted, or served as soup, this prized produce pairs perfectly with cooler temps. For all the pumpkin spice latte lovers out there, we have you covered, too. Flip to page 80 for "5 Perfect Pumpkin Drinks" you'll want to sip all season long.
Happy fall, y'all—and remember: This too shall pass, so keep your spirits up...and flowing. Cheers!

Reports: Female fan performed sex act on Danny Brown during concert
An up-and-coming rapper has ignited an online firestorm after a female fan allegedly performed a sex act on him onstage during a concert last month.
Danny Brown was in the middle of a song during an April 26 concert in Minneapolis when the woman rushed onto the stage, pulled down his pants and performed the sex act, according to published reports.
Another rapper who's touring with the 32-year-old Brown said the incident was a sex assault, and she's wondering why fans are celebrating what happened instead of condemning it.
"I'm mad that a person thought it was okay to pull another person's pants down during their performance in front of about 700 other people," wrote rapper Kitty Pryde (warning: explicit language in linked item). "I'm mad that a person thought it was a good idea to perform a sex act on another person without their consent. I'm mad that nobody made her leave. I'm mad that Danny had to actually wonder what he was supposed to do at that point."
Pryde, whose real name is Kathryn Beckwith, said the incident was misinterpreted because Brown is a black man and his assailant was a white woman.
"Everyone wants the option of blaming it on Danny, because people can't accept the fact that a white girl raped a black dude in front of a bunch of people," Pryde wrote.
Pryde also said that the incident left Brown with a limited set of choices if he had not consented to the sex act.
"He would've had to either pushed her face or kicked her, and even the most gentle of either motion would immediately be labeled 'abuse' by anyone watching," Pryde wrote. "Guys pushing girls is not a good look when people are taking photos. … And if he had figured out a way to gently push the girl off him immediately without looking like he was smacking her in the face, he's faced with attacks on his masculinity by every (jerk) in the building."
Brown, a Detroit rapper who raps explicitly about sex and drug use, initially tweeted that he "didn't miss one bar" as he performed during the incident, but the Twitter posting was later deleted.
The rapper has not commented again about the incident, although he's passed along Twitter posts about it from fans and posted links to comments by Pryde.

All eyes on Rustenburg
Huw Richards
May 29, 2009
The Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace will host the Lions this weekend © Getty Images
The South African mining town of Rustenburg impinges on the consciousness of British rugby for the first time in 14 years this weekend when the Lions play their opening match there.
It is the Scots among the travelling fans and media who are likeliest to find themselves retracing steps, since it was there that Scotland played their opening match in the 1995 World Cup. The Sunday Herald's Alastair Reid certainly remembers Rustenburg, having written of it as 'a two-horse town, assuming that it has acquired another horse since 1995'. No World Cup yet has left more indelible images. Take your pick from Jonah Lomu trampling Mike Catt, Rob Andrew's drop-goal, Durban's après-le-deluge semi-final or of course Nelson Mandela and Francois Pienaar in matching casual menswear. Rustenburg too left vivid memories.
It hosted the Ivory Coast, perhaps the unlikeliest and least expected of all World Cup qualifiers. It was less than half a century since the first match had been played there, with a ball ingeniously knocked up from an old inner tube, and the Ivorian Rugby Federation was only five years old. Zimbabwe, who had played in 1987 and 1991, or Namibia - with their essentially South African rugby heritage - were the favourites, but the Ivorians squeezed past them both.
They opened up at Olympic Park on the second day of the tournament, 26th May 1995, against Scotland. For half an hour they did reasonably well, with half-backs Frederic Dupont and Athanase Dali looking particularly useful. But then, perhaps prompted by the loss of Dali, their captain, the roof fell in. Scotland ran amok in the final stages before the break, then continued in the same vein during the second half.
Props Paul Burnell and Peter Wright probably remember this particularly fondly, as they crossed for their only international tries, but the conspicuous contributor to a mortifying 89-0 final scoreline was Gavin Hastings. He scored four tries, nine conversions and - from the early period when the Ivorians were competitive - two penalties, a total of 44 points.
It was the second time Hastings had broken the all-time record for points in an international. Eight years earlier, at the first World Cup, he had scored 27 against Zimbabwe at Dunedin. That record stood for a little under two hours before Didier Camberabero contributed 30 points to France's demolition of Romania.
This time it seemed that Hastings' Bob Beamon-like leap forward, breaking the previous record by 14 points, must earn him a long stint in the record books. A week later Simon Culhane, making his All Black debut against Japan, scored 45 points.
There were forebodings as to what France might do to the Ivorians four days later. But on 30th May - 14 years to the day before the Lions opener - they did rather better. Maybe a sense of familiarity helped. This was the first World Cup match between two French-speaking nations and many of the Ivorian players lived and played in France. The margin of defeat was a more modest 54-18, and the Ivorians scored two second-half tries through Ababacar Camara, Dali's stand-in at outside-half, and wing Aboubacar Soulama.
It is, though, the third match against Tonga that has left the most lasting and painful Rustenburg memory. A few minutes into the match Max Brito, a young wing who had already made his mark with the committed ferocity of his tackling, challenged a Tongan. He went down hard.
Rugby players are inured by experience to injuries. A broken bone will attract sympathy from team-mates, but there is a sense that it is an unavoidable part of the game. Just occasionally - Mervyn Davies's stroke in a Welsh semi-final, Glen Webbe suffering fits in a charity game at Old Deer Park - you see panic on the field, and know that it something different and much, much worse. Max Brito never has got up. He remains a quadriplegic, confined to a hospital bed in Bordeaux.
A final Rustenburg memory was the insight into the singularity of Afrikaanerdom provided by the guttural accents of local fans shouting 'Come on Ivory Coast'. Rustenburg is Afrikaaner heartland. If the crazies who had wanted to perpetuate separatism in a 'Boerestaat' had got their way, it would have been well within its borders. Not many of those fans would have welcome an Ivorian rugby player if he had turned up on the doorstep wanting to date their daughter. But they were, at the same time, fellow Africans, and so attracted genuine warmth and support.
Rustenburg has shown unexpected staying power as a major rugby venue with the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace, the out-of-town successor to Olympia Park, staging a Tri-Nations test against New Zealand in 2006. Nor have the Ivorians gone away. After making only a limited impact in the last three World Cup qualifying tournaments, they've made it to the final four chasing the Africa slot at the 2011 World Cup and play Namibia home and away in the semi-finals in June.

keep calm, is my birthday!5:32:00 AM
|Happy birthday to all from Bells!!!
|Happy birthday to all from Bells!!!
I have always had a passion for makeup and fashion even when I was a little girl.
One of the most beautiful memories I have is watching my mom getting ready for work, she used to apply beautiful shades of lipsticks, I also saw her combine gorgeous patterns of fabrics to create interesting outfits, I remember seeing her choosing the best perfumes for the different occasions and get into the "ritual of getting ready". I loved watching my mother being in touch with her own femininity and love herself in her own skin, accentuate her best features and be ready to face the world.
I think makeup and fashion is a way to express who you are, how do you see yourself and what do you want to project into the world. Fashion can be artistic yet therapeutic, because whenever you feel blue I bet a beautiful dress matching a gorgeous lipstick shade can lift your spirit and help you see that beautiful woman you are.

Another weird topic from yours truly. Just like the Star Wars one. . . What if Jim wrote the Harry Potter books. How would the story be different. Or what if Jim Carrey played Dumbledore in the movies???? (Not knocking Richard Harris he rocks. Michael Gambon on the other hand eeh. . ??) Or what if he played Snape, Lockheart or Quirrel. I personally think he would have been the PERFECT Snape! He's got the whole bad meanie guy thing down to a T.
Like instead of flying on brooms in qudditch. They fly on vaccum cleaners and use a little bird as the snitch instead of the magical ball.
Basically Carreynize Harry Potter!! I'm very curious to see what your creative genius comes up with!

New program allows frequent flyers to avoid security lines
Cincinnati's airport is now added to the list where passengers can have expedited security screenings before their flights.
The Transportation Safety Administration's new PreCheck was established to speed up the process for frequent flyers.
The prescreening process allows passengers to avoid lines and leave on jackets, belts and shoes.
The new screening process comes as the budget sequestration cuts take effect at airports around the country.
The cost is $100 but some frequent flyer programs may pay for the cost.
"You go through a background check real quick, an interview process, and once you're approved, you're approved for five years," CVG spokesperson Brian Gregg said.
The TSA PreCheck program is available at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office on Olympic Boulevard in Erlanger.
Cincinnati joins Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and other cities that offer the program.

Our Work is Never Done
Jul. 26, 2013
ST. LOUIS - After the last final is taken, the last grade posted and the last student heads home for the summer, popular opinion states that faculty leaves for a three month vacation and all the employees hold daily pool parties for the next 12 weeks until the next group of students arrive.
If that only were true.
Summer is among the busiest time of year for many employees in higher ed. At Webster University's Webster Groves campus, crews have been busy this summer working long days, weekends and holidays repairing and prepping the campus to make sure it is in pristine condition when school starts in the fall.
"I always chuckle when my friends and relatives tell me if I'm relieved that the students will be gone for the summer, because then I'll be able to take some time off," said Gil Morales, facilities operations manager at Webster University. "We do our most difficult and labor-intensive work when the students are gone so that we can minimize the interruptions when they are here."
For example, some of the walls and stairwells in Sverdrup Hall on the University's Webster Groves campus needed repainting. Doing such a project during the school year would require those areas to be closed off for safety reasons, making it difficult for students to get to classes or meet with professors. Instead, that project was completed this summer when the halls were mostly devoid of students.
Other projects completed or currently ongoing at Webster's home campus since the last day of class include:
- Building an outdoor lounge area on the west side of the Visual Arts Studio
- Painting the old wall on Edgar Road and the nearby Carriage House and detached garage
- Repairing the brick wall around Pearson House
- Removing bushes that had obstructed the view from inside the University Center
- Planting new shrubs in the area
- Removing the rock along the ramp of the west entrance to the University Center and landscaping the area
- Planting new groundcover on the lawn in front of Webster Hall
- Landscaping the area around the picnic benches at the corner of Edgar Road and Big Bend Boulevard
- Painting the Physical Plant building
- Repairing the porch, foundation and handicap accessible ramp at the Counseling and Student Health Services building
- Repaving and restriping parking lots J and K
- Making repairs to the Mary Ann Lee Plaza
Besides these major projects, other more routine projects also have been happening, such as replacing burned-out light bulbs in residential halls, classrooms and offices, laying down mulch, replacing diseased or dying plants or touching up different areas of the campus.
Since mid-May, works crews have:
- used an estimated quantity of 210 gallons of paint and 2300 man-hours to apply it
- replaced approximately 3500 light bulbs throughout campus
- applied approximately 300 yards of mulch
- spread 20 tons of gravel
- planted approximately 2500 new plants
- poured an estimated 50 yards of concrete
- spread approximately 5600 square yards of asphalt
Because there is so much work to do and such limited time, many crews work weekends and holidays through the summer. Had students visited campus on the Fourth of July, they may have been surprised to find a painting crew on campus, painting the window sills on the west side of Webster Hall.
While most would agree that the physical plant crews probably have the hardest work to accomplish during the summer, they aren't the only ones who are busy. This is the time of year that most of the employees work on "long-term projects," such as updating policies, re-writing content on web sites, and setting schedules for the next 12 months. Many professors take the time to work on research projects that they wouldn't have time to work on during the regular school year while team members in admissions and financial aid are actively reviewing applications for admission and financial aid and scholarship requests.
"Summer is an especially exciting time for the enrollment management team as we continue recruiting and at the same time collaborating with the schools and colleges to not only prepare for new students, but to also welcome returning students," said Robert Parrent, chief enrollment officer at Webster. "Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience for every student. The entire enrollment management team goes the extra mile to ensure a seamless transition for students from the initial point of contact to arrival on campus. It's all about leading through learning and we want every student to understand what it means to 'be a part of what's next.' That is what makes enrollment management a global initiative ; enrollment management is an area that never sleeps."
Applications are still being accepted at Webster University for the fall term. For more information, visithttp://webster.edu/admissions/.

Is it possible Ill never ever have a relationship with a women? is this possible! maybe! Im the mosts talented sophisticated sensitive person you've ever met! I have all these traits no one to date; nothing! No wife! why?
Well; I have to be accepted by others; I have to accept myself first; but I don't fit into anything out in social land; nothing! Im to deep and real I guess! I don't know!
I don't like manipulative 2 faced people; and most of the women Ive associated with fit this category! The problem is; I don't know who! Im not sure who to associate with! I don't know!
Im working with the universe to find a wife! I don't get it! Im an intelligent man! What does it take to have a girlfriend! a wife! anything?
Nothing; like being in a dried well!
One of the main problems; Im not around the right people! Who are the right people! I have to start asking this question!
I haven't fit into any group accept those from developmental trauma backgrounds!
I hate; absolutely hate going to these worthless meetings! They keep me alive but not much else! the women cant be trusted at any level in these places!
Id like to go out with decent respectable women! women of quality; not a bunch a whores! Im sick them! all of them; its sickening; no conscious!
Im not looking for women that think they are superior to be because I demand that they have character!
Lately, Ive been on the internet working with the universe; but its getting me nothing! I mean; Im learning about meditations; but Im no closer to having a girlfriend!
Ive been told I have to act like she's with me! Ive tried that! but nothing happens! I dont get it! I really dont!

Is it obvious to those who read my blog what I believe?
A comment was made to me about what my blog was about that I do not totally agree with.
So, a review of my journey in very few words.
I started this journey believing in monogamy. Though not a truly jealous sort it is what I was raised believing. After discussions, my husband and I took the fork in the road that led to swinging. While enjoyable, and at some point preferable to me, this eventually led to polyamory. Which I do now call myself. Though, I'm not above the play of swinging.
It did take a while to get to the place of believing polyamory a viable option for me. It takes a while to process how you were raised with things you are presented with and to determine if both can coexist or if you are completely going outside your realm of experience. The latter was it for me. I was not denouncing monogamy at all. Or saying polyamory was the only way to go. I reached the point of saying that I believe both are possible. It all depends on what you want, what works for those involved and how hard you are willing to work at things if a change is what you are looking for.
I just won't believe any longer that there is only one way to have a relationship.
Currently, we are what a fellow blogger calls "accidentally monogamous". I haven't changed how I feel at all. My relationship with my boyfriend ended. After a hard difficult time, I was put off even trying for another by some pressure I received from someone to enter into a relationship. So, it was just simpler and less stressful to not pursue another relationship at the time. Then, I started a business on the side and now I just can not find the time. I have trouble enough seeing my husband. We have talked and are still not opposed to outside relationships. We just currently are low on the energy to pursue them. 🙂

ATH joins CXT with a puff of hyperbole! This is the final nail in my debate coffin!
You'll willing to dismiss the experiences of black physicians, arguing that they might just be making up the whole thing. Ok, fine, sure. The thing is, it's a bit more plausible that a black physician experienced racism over their lifetime, given all the supporting evidence I gave you, than it is that my statement that there are a lot of white racists (per their own admission and all that supporting evidence) is racist itself. Mine's a statement of fact. Their statements are based on plausible experience plausible. Your statements go opposite to every single shred of evidence posted here besides your own opinion. That's the difference.
"...As opposed to those poor souls in the Nuez-Smith study--who don't even get the chance to defend themselves."
I know you like to hype things up to distract people from the issues, but, they DID have a chance; it's a peer reviewed article. ANYONE who was upset (including you, if you'd actually read the study, which we know you still haven't), could have written in and challenged the findings. More importantly, no "one" needs to be defended when someone says there is a "lot" of racism. I'm not bothered by the survey results I posted. I know what I think and feel. I don't feel condemned by black physicians who felt mistreated because none said I mistreated them or that the charges were the end of the world. It's only you, and perhaps ATH, who can get worked up about this stuff.
As for accepting conclusions without questioning, I've never been one to do that. I am a little skeptical of people who dismiss a whole bunch of evidence just because they don't like what it says, just because. I read letters to the editor on papers of importance to me very closely because they're usually well reseached and crafted and make good points. Your "letter to the editor," would just be "wa wa wahhhh... I don't believe your paper." That's why I'm not interested in your dissent; its as unsubstantiated as everything else you write.
"You didn't want to take the time to sift thu the whole study--so you want to make ME do it FOR YOU."
Lol, yes, it's always someone else's job to do the work. Love it. Hey, remember when you said you couldn't coment on the study without reading it? When you said you wanted more of it? ME NEITHER. You just blew all of it off because you don't weigh evidence, you simply rail against anything that challenges your preconceptions and your petty judgments about which quantifier I should have used (some vs a lot).
"Oh, but it most certainly IS, of your basing those numbers on a flawed, badly conducted, and baised survey--which you are--in fact its proof of the very bigotry of which your infected."
If you could elaborate, you would have made your first point. In DETAIL, how did you conclude the study was wrong? Not just wrong, but more than 10x wrong, since 3-4 million is still a lot? YOU didn't ask for more info, look for it yourself, or conclude you needed more information--you just dismiss everything. This qualifies as argument to you. If you were a police investigator trying to find out if Mr. Green did it in the study with the rope, and you were presented testimony that he did it, you'd exclaim "nonsense, he could have been acting a play, he's innocent!" rather than asking for more evidence and the entire transcript.
"You maybe pretty small fish in terms of bigotry---but I have met Klansman that were less invested in their bais than you. "
1) when your argument stinks, charge racism!
2) especially when you're championing the position that racism is over-called, for irony!
3) isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
Here's some stuff for you to ponder. Remember, you get your evidence, your links, your questions answered, and your policy is to dodge, avoid, ad explain away all the holes and lack of answers on your side. Want a clean slate? Answer a few questions:
1) how exactly did you conclude that the survey with the quantitation of self admitted racism is WRONG? And how exactly did you blow off the whole Nunez study without reading it?
2) how many racists does it take to make "some" or "a lot"
3) just how many white racists are there in this country, since you're so certain its not the 3-30 million suggested by even a skeptical reading of the survey?
4) How come you'll never talk about the HUD study? Is it because you have no way at all to refute its key finding of racism in housing?
5) To whom should I direct my apology, since I never named any individuals or condemned them for their admission, even? Should I apologize in similar fashion if I ever slip up and say a lot of white people live in new york?
Good luck!

A couple weeks ago I learned about a new children's book called Sally Weans from Night Nursing, and I was so thrilled when the author, Lesli Mitchell, graciously agreed to send me a copy to review.
From the first page, this book really resonated with me. In the introduction the author tells her personal story of how she decided she needed to night wean her daughter. I'm sure many of us can relate to her experience of "doing what seemed to be the easiest thing for a somewhat restful night." (And that "thing" being, MOM = 24 HR MILK BAR!)
I'm sure most moms experience a wide range of conflicting emotions when choosing to wean. I really enjoyed reading about the author's experience, because it helped me to know I'm not alone in what I'm feeling and experiencing. I especially appreciated the gentle, non-judgmental tone the author used when sharing her story, and her emphasis on the fact that choosing to wean is such a personal decision.
My girls both loved the story of Sally and the big, colorful illustrations in the book.
One of my favorite things about the book is that it describes Sally's feelings through the weaning process. The story tells how Sally feels sad that mommy said "no" when she woke up and wanted to nurse, and how she felt angry too.
That really seemed to resonate with Emi. The day after I had first read her the story, I found her sitting with the book, looking at the pages and talking about how Sally felt sad and angry that, "mommy said 'no boo boo!'"
The story also illustrates how Sally and her mommy are able to do lots of fun things together because they get lots of sleep and don't feel tired anymore (which is the main goal of night weaning, right?!) Emi was really excited about the thought of fingerpainting... and I think I suddenly realized why she's been waking up every morning and asking to paint!
The author ends the book by sharing her personal experience (the nuts and bolts, if you will) of how she and her husband weaned their daughter. I found that especially helpful, and I think I'm going to try implementing some of her ideas... like no more nursing in bed!
Maybe someday, when Emi has successfully night weaned, I'll share my story of how we made it work. But until then, if you'd like to win a copy of Sally Weans from Night Nursing please enter the giveaway!

Some parts of the appliance have been slightly greased and, as a result, the appliance may produce some smoke when it is switched on for the first time.
Also, if there is remaining water in the soleplate from the last usage, the smoke observed is actually water evaporating. However, these will stop after a short while.

Limited Edition – Chocolate Chip Caramel Apples
The first Limited Edition was orange and black jimmies…I would describe it as colorful. The second limited Edition was mixed nuts…I didn't think it could get any better than that.
This year, and the third Limited Edition Caramel Apple is Chocolate Chips…absolute heaven! I will honestly admit I thought that the chocolate chips and caramel combination would be too much sweetness for me…not the case at all. It is the best caramel apple combination I've had so far.
We will only have these for a limited time so don't miss out and stop by the store soon!
