These are all so stunning! Linda, I love your tropical theme -- I was supposed to see Jimmy Buffet a few weeks ago and work had me scheduled out of town. Grrr! Well, at least they had enough good sense to close today so I can work on my Grungy Monday project ! Sorry you're working but hope you have a good day.

Google is going to build Google-branded self-driving cars, because car manufacturers showed no interest
Google is planning to get into the motor vehicle business with its own fleet of self-driving cars. Apparently, the search giant failed to partner with other well established motor vehicle manufacturers and has thus chosen to tread this path alone. If all goes well in the coming years, Google's self-driving fleet might become a popular means of transportation in the U.S.…

Casino revenue likely to address state budget gap/'raiding' designated funds not uncommon
OXFORD HILLS — Around $14 million in casino revenue intended to supplement K-12 education will probably be used to help close a $112 million gap in the 2013 state budget.
According to local legislators, "raiding" designated funds, although unpopular, is a budgeting reality.
In 2010, voters approved the Oxford Casino in a referendum that pledged 46 percent of net revenue from slot machines and 16 percent of table game net revenue to state programs.
Twenty-five percent of the slot machine portion and 16 percent from table games was earmarked to supplement K-12 education funding.
According to Department of Education spokesperson David Connerty-Marin, because the casino didn't open until the state budget for 2013 was finalized, the revenue was never applied to a particular fund.
Now that money will be devoted to the state's General Fund to overcome a budget gap primarily caused by a revenue shortfall and higher-than-expected MaineCare spending.
"For the purpose of the supplemental budget ... there was a need to use that for the general fund," Connerty-Marin said.
By utilizing the casino funds, the state is able to prevent further cuts to state aid to schools that could come from spending curtailment, Connerty-Marin claimed.
In December, Governor Paul LePage ordered a $35 million curtailment order to deal with state revenue shortfalls, which is now part of the 2013 supplemental budget. Around $12.58 million of the curtailment came from general purpose aid to school districts.
According to Rep. Tom Winsor (R-Norway), a member of the Legislature's Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee, committing the casino revenues to offset the revenue shortfall is likely.
On Monday, Winsor said the committee had unanimously approved 60 or 70 percent of the items in the supplemental budget and should have final recommendations by Friday or Saturday.
The supplemental budget still needs to pass through the legislature, but Winsor estimated the measure would be included.
He acknowledged that reallocating the the money was "a shell game," but said he wasn't concerned the move set a bad precedent, noting that "raiding" dedicated funds isn't uncommon.
"It's budgeting reality," Winsor said, recalling that the Fund for Healthy Maine, which receives money from settlements with big tobacco companies, has regularly been tapped by the state since it was established in 1999.
Senator Jim Hamper (R-Oxford), whose district covers Oxford Hills, said school districts shouldn't feel the pinch if the funds are appropriated.
Budget realities often conflict with how funds are initially dedicated, Hamper said. Dedicated funds were regularly used for different budget items.
"Is it [casino revenue] any more sacred than any of the other designated funds that we have? No. Unfortunately, that's the budget process," Hamper said.
"I would love to say every designated pot of money was never going to be touched other than for the purpose for which it was intended, but that's not the way it happens."
Connerty-Marin said the governor's proposed 2014-2015 biennial budget maintained the casino revenue's dedication to education, but couldn't anticipate how the legislature might alter the proposal.
Oxford Casino spokesperson Scott Smith, on Monday, would say only that Oxford Casino was proud of the way the 2010 casino bill was written and where the state's portion of revenue was intended to go, but respected the legislative process.

An uncircumcised penis still has the foreskin attached. Caring for your newborn's penis is fairly easy. Keep in mind the following:
When bathing your child, wash the penis. Then dry it thoroughly.
Never forcibly pull back (retract) the foreskin when washing your infant or young child. Forcing the foreskin can cause pain and scarring. The foreskin will likely be able to retract by age 3, but it depends on the child.
When the foreskin is able to retract, gently pull it back and bathe the area. Dry the penis thoroughly.
Return the foreskin to its natural position by pulling it back over the penis. This is important because if the foreskin is left retracted, it could put pressure on the penis. This can cause pain and swelling and may require medical attention.
Once the child is old enough, teach him to retract the foreskin to clean his penis. Tell him to return the foreskin to its natural position after drying the penis.
Foreskin that is stuck in the retracted position

This is extremely frustrating. I'm looking for a PCC that can hold and charge the Vapor Titan Soft Touch Diamond Short batteries and am having a lot of trouble.
I'm looking specifically for one that can hold 2, one of which with a cartridge attached, and maybe a few extra cartos.
I've tried the Volt Mega PCC but apparently Volt only uses Gen2 kr808d-1s or something so it wasn't compatible.
Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Mega Battery Charging Case (V2) - Accessories
Now I'm trying the XL PCC from myvaporstore and that's not charging the batteries either.
KR808D1 XL PCC Portable Charger Case
All 3 of them work with the slim charger, so I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with the batteries themselves. What is going on? Is there any charger aside from the generic small one that's sold in store that will work? Is this related to the "new improved" battery? I really love the look and feel of these batteries, but between not finding a PCC I like and the frustration of having to plug the holes I'm finding it hard to want to keep these batteries.
I didn't find a rule discussing competitors or anything, so if this is breaking a rule or something, I understand removal, but I want to be clear, I love my batteries, and I love Vapor4Life for all of it's products so far, and I will continue purchasing stuff from Vapor4Life, and am only finding the PCC to be a problem (also a defective sour green apple carto in a sampler pack which was the entire reason I bought it but can overlook this because the rest were really good and I'll just get another pack to try it), however it's a major problem.
I'm out and about every day and vape on the go. The short batteries are low profile, and charging them is important. A case is good for keeping everything neat and in one place, and a case that holds two with one charging is key. The biggest part, however, is not fumbling about unscrewing from the case, screwing a carto in, dropping things as I switch things out, etc while on a busy sidewalk - I want to be able to open the case, and pull out a battery with an attached carto, while the alternate battery charges. It shouldn't be an engineering task each time.
Between the 2 PCCs I linked to above, they were the perfect solution, but the Titan Diamonds aren't working. I love them, but if I can't charge them, then they're no good to me. Especially after having to deal with the air flow problem. I'm sitting here at my desk, having a craving, with 3 dead batteries until the one in the slim charger is charged enough to at least use while a second begins charging. This is not fun.
So yeah, does anyone have any suggestions for a charger that is compatible with the Titan Diamond shorts and meets my needs?

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Women's Thunderhead Full-Zip Pants:
Pants keep falling down before I can get them zipped up all the way. Wondering if it would be better with zippers to knees on each leg and then only one side zipper rather than zippers all the way down each side.
I am 5'3" and the petites are really long on me. Would like them a bit shorter. Haven't found many attractive options. They all look like baggie diapers on me!

Restaurant Tallent
Online Reservations
We had the most wonderful dinner for my daughter's return home from college. Our server, Alex, kindly pointed us in the right direction with our drinks and gave a lot of helpful information about our food. He always seemed to be right there whenever we needed someone. Truly perfect timing. The food was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The star of the show was the salmon dish in my humble opinion. Never in my life have I had such a perfect cut of fish. Thank you so much Restaurant Tallent!
Sublime in every way. It held up to all of the raves and reviews we had read previously. Chef Tallent has tremendous talent and we will definitely return....even though we live 2 hours away!
Excellent food and service. Waitress very knowledgable and made a great wine suggestion. Subbing a comparable bottle in place on one I want but they didn't have. I went to the back and complemented Dave Talent the chief. Will go again..
we had a wonderful dinner, but note they only have a wine and beer menu, no mixed drinks
We came here for our anniversary dinner (we were back in Bloomington visiting) and many people had recommended it to us. The food was phenomenal -- inventive, local, and very tasty. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food, attentive service, and a great wine list.
It was great, probably the best restaurant in Bloomington, IN
Even though we visited Restaurant Tallent during graduation weekend, we didn't get the feeling that they were rushing or cutting corners to accommodate the crowds. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. Wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful, but not annoyingly hovering. Interesting menu choices. Our meals rivaled anything you would get in a top-notch restaurant in a major city. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and extremely tasty. Don't be offended by the fact that it may seem a bit pricey by Bloomington standards – your meal is well worth it and an excellent value.
The food quality and service are great. The design is minimalism. Great choice for special occasion in Bloomington. But if this restaurant was in other big cities, then it would stand-out.
A grat experience- interesting meal choices with wonderful flavor combinations. Great service, courteous and friendly staff.
I love this place. It's consistent, creative, and always fun! My only complaint is that the dishes have been a bit salty as of late. I love the sauces and desserts are stellar. Especially the berry crumble's. I can't wait to return!
Restaurant Talent is truly a Bloomington, Indiana diamond. When you see everyone at the table doing the happy dance after taking a bite it is well worth it. The food is always well presented and the wait staff are very knowledgable and offer suggestions for us picky wine connoisseur's Will be back to celebrate other special occasions in the future. A very pleasant dining experience. :)
We've been to Restaurant Tallent several times in the past three years and it has been our consistent, absolute favorite dining experience. We spend a lot of time in Chicago enjoying the great restaurants the much larger city has to offer, and Tallent is every bit as good, in all ways, as the best we've experienced there. Don't miss out on the tasting menu, offered Monday through Thursday, where the chef works his magic on whatever ingredients are available that particular day. You never know what you're going to get, but it has always been wonderful for us.
The food and wine is different in a good way. However the service can be sketchy if they get busy. We spent a lot of time waiting to order dessert and the other for our bill.
Thoughtfully prepared, fresh and quality ingredients made this restaurant experience one of the best in a long time. This was my first visit to Bloomington and quit honestly I was not expecting to find such a restaurant in, what I understood to be, a college town. Restaurant Tallent is not a cheap but if you love and appreciate well prepared quality ingredients and and don't mind paying the price then you won't be disappointed. As someone that eats at 'high end' restaurants regularly I can say that Restaurant Tallent delivered superb food for a reasonable price. I certainly didn't feel as if I had over paid.
We love Restaurant Tallent and always feel that the food and service are superb! It's our favorite place to take out of town foodies or to celebrate a special occasion.
The dining experience at Tallent is one of the best in Bloomington. The chef is able to create dishes with unique blends of flavors to complement the meat, fish, or vegetable entrée. Plus, the chef does a great job using locally grown food, when available. The service can be slow at times, but you can also take advantage of having a leisurely meal with friends.
Our butter leaf lettuce salad came with bites of salmon bacon, a wonderful dressing, and amazing small warm bites of fried green tomato. The only thing better than the salad was the entree of fresh northern lake walleye, cooked to perfection and plated with a rim of swiss chard puree that added just a little zing, and a beautiful risotto with tiny fresh vegetables. I like the restaurant's wine list, which offers some reasonably priced and interesting wines by the glass and the bottle. The only tiny quibble was the evening's amuse bouche, which wasn't amusing--a small glass of so-called garlic vichysoisse, which just tasted like garlic juice. Sent it back and enjoyed the rest of the wonderful dinner.
The Chef at Restaurant Tallent is supreme. Definitely some of the best fare I have ever sampled.
It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. The food and service are above and beyond what you would normally receive at a restaurant. The menu always has an element of surprise and delight. Nice place to dine for a special occasion.
Very fine restaurant, especially for southern Indiana. The five-course tasting menu was well conceived and delicious. The server, Sean, was especially helpful in pacing the meal, describing the dishes, and keeping just the right level of engagement at the table--enough to care but not hovering or intrusive. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Tallent is the best restaurant in Bloomington, period. You could be in New York or Chicago. Interesting wines by the glass and superb food, professionally served. You absolutely get what you pay for here.
My wife and I have been here several times and NEVER have we been disappointed. I had put in the reservation notice a small note stating it was an early birthday dinner for my wife. They actually read it, cause when dessert came they had put a small candle on hers. Nothing was said by me when we arrived. The little things can lead to the greatest.
We have been to Tallent a few times and it does not disappoint. I had an arugula salad with grilled peaches, praline country ham, and blue cheese and it was exceptional. I chose the pork chop. I had a hard time deciding, and the server mentioned that he is known for his pork dishes. It was flavorful and so tender and was accompanied by a cabbage dish with chorizo - also incredible. For dessert, we had homemade cream cheese ice cream over a french toast. My spouse had an excellent salad and loved his sea bass dish, one of the nightly specials. We asked the server to choose the wine and it was also very good. Just incredible experience, and we will eat there again on our next trip to Bloomington. Well worth it!
My husband and I travel frequently for both work and play. We always love finding and trying new places out that not only feed us but taste great and inspire us in the kitchen. Restaurant Tallent is one of these places. Surprising tastes and combinations but not too trendy and scary.
This is where my husband asked to go for his birthday. It was a new restaurant for us. He absolutely loved it. The food was better than most well known, fine Indy restaurants. We will visit again, but the only downside was our server seemed preoccupied or not focus on our requests. I had to ask a second time for coffee and the after dinner port to be served with our birthday dessert was forgotten. The chef's talent to serve up a memorable meal outweighed the oversights. We would highly recommend Tallent.
The menu is seasonal, drawing inspiration from what is available locally. I was impressed by the food. My favorite was the Sweet Corn Agnolotti Carbonara- lots of variations of tastes and mouth-feels making you want to savor every bite. Prices are fairly standard for the food per person: $12 first course, $30 entree, $12 dessert. The education and experience of the chef is evident. I did not think the decor matched the caliber of the food and service; it was unremarkable. Overall very pleased and would definitely visit again, especially to try the tasting menu.
Bloomington is lucky to have Tallent . The appetizers we had were genuinely excellent: an heirloom tomato salad with blue cheese and an agnolotti pasta dish with chanterelles. My wife had the friend chicken (very good) and I had the wreckfish--also very good. Tallent is one of the four Hoosier chefs nominated for the Beard Award in the Midwest and I'd say this restaurant was on par with the others: Recess, Libertine, and R Bistro. Appetizers are around $10, entrees around $25, and wine about $8 to $10 per glass. You are not going to be swept off your feet here. It's fairly plain, though attractive, and the service is attentive but not fawning. I will happily eat here again when in Bloomington.
First time dining here......I'm a southern girl and the fried chicken as prepared by the chef is the best I've ever had, even better than mine! Our waitress Amelia was truly charming and knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list. When we go back I will definitely ask for her and suggest everyone does!
Rose was my waitress and she was superb in every way. Food was very good; almost excellent. Would recommend this restaurant.
great local foods...best salted caramel ice cream!
There were too many options on the menu that i wanted to try. indiana tomato salad was great. My husband's melon salad was good as well. The RT burger was excellent- I did it with no cheese. Bison ribeye was fantasttic. Our vegetarian diner was noted and accomadated well. Spanish wine on comprehensive wine list was wonderful. Desserts were tasty and not overwhelming.
As long as we've been dining here, we've NEVER had a bad meal. Good for them. They keep up their high standard at all times. Thank you!
We thought the food and service were excellent. The decor very hip and stylish! My big complaint : I was so cold that I was uncomfortable the whole time I was there.
They need to work on their wine list. There were three wines that we requested and Tallent was out of all three of them. As an added note the wait staff needs to inform patrons when they are out of certain wines so one doesn't spend time on a selection that is no longer available.Other than that our dining experience was very good and the food was outstanding.
It's hard to believe a chef of this calibre is in Bloomington, IN. A great addition to the local restaurant scene. The tasting menu available only during the week is well worth the price.
My wife and I chose the 5 course food and wine pairing dinner at Restaurant Tallent and were completely blown away by the experience. We expected small portions of each course, but were surprised with much larger portions. Each course had flavors that complemented each other well and the wines were perfect choices for each dish. We cannot wait to return.
We had long looked forward to dining at the restaurant based on the many reviews we had read. Based on our experience, the reviews were correct. The service was outstanding with friendly, attentive staff who helped make our evening special without over doing it. The menu was interesting and the food wonderfully prepared and presented. The ambiance was pleasing and we were able to converse easily even though the restaurant was full. We had a great time and would highly recommend Restaurant Talent to anyone.
Restaurant Tallent is our favorite restaurant in Bloomington. Our meals have been consistently outstanding and the service is excellent. Favorites include the first course preparation of mussels, and the daily charcuterie plate. For entrees, you really cannot go wrong with any of the fish dishes...Saturday night my son ordered the lamb shank and it was delicious. For dessert we shared an apple tart with homemade ice cream - perfect.
As usual, another great dinner at Tallent - food, service and ambiance are always spectacular. Highly recommended, at any time of the year!! Keep up the great job!!
Chef Tallent makes certain that everything is JUST RIGHT! From the greeting at the door, to the "amuse bouche", to the fabulous food (picture perfect and delicious) to the cookie treat before you leave. It is always a treat and I am never disappointed.
My wife and I live in Greenwood. We were looking for a new dinner destination to celebrate our 24th anniversary. A friend suggested Restaurant Tallent, so we made the 45 minute drive to Bloomington. Our waiter, Sean, was very personable and provided excellent service. Our food, appetizer through dessert, was excellent. Sean accomodated my wife's request to sample 2 different wine options prior to ordering a bottle. I would recommend Tallent for a special occasion. Give yourself time to walk the downtown Bloomington square before dinner!
My husband and I wanted to treat my niece and her boyfriend to a special evening since they are both IU undergrads living on sorority/frat food. Tallent was a delightful choice. Food was superb and the service excellent. Menu is a bit pricey but we enjoyed the chef's vision of each plate. The Roasted Autumn Squash soup was delicious...rich and nuttier than many others. We had the Indiana Ribeye, the Cobia and the Lamb as entrees...all great down-to-earth ingredients with a beautiful presentations and delicious flavors. We shared two desserts: the apple frangipane and the bread pudding (definitely choose the frangipane). We will return.
Great compositions for appetizers and main courses, with seasonal offerings and local food. Our server was very knowledgeable and service was good. A bit on the pricey side for Bloomington. Ask for a table on the north section of the restaurant, unless you wish to sit between the bar and kitchen.
Food is always delicious. At first some combinations are like ok lets see. And you are always left with an oh my where did the chef get this fabulous idea. Wait staff are always attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Very glad to have helped celebrate Talent's 10 years. Keep up the excellent food and service.
Our son attends IU, and Tallent has become our favorite when visiting Bloomington. Always something new to try, service is great and it's quiet enough to have an enjoyable conversation unlike some of the other loud, bustling establishments we have tried.
This was one of the best meals that I have ever had.We had the fall vegetables appetizer.For the main course we chose the nights special which was Surf and Turf. Dessert was coffee and Butterscotch Panne Cotta. You could taste every component of each course and everything was seasoned perfectly. Cheers to the chef as well as the wonderful staff. Joan B
Each time we eat at Restaurant Tallent, we think that it's the best meal we've ever had there. While wine prices seem a bit higher than the last time we were there, the wine list is still really interesting and the server very helpful in choosing a bottle. The portions seem larger than before. It's just got to be one of the very best restaurants in the state.
Simply outstanding. They layering of flavors was incredible.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Excellent wine selection. Cuisine is unmatched in Bloomington. Perfect execution, presentation. The walleye and flounder entries were flawless, and the lobster risotto bordered on divine. Simply the finest cuisine in B-town.
I had a nice meal at Tallent. The food was excellent and not trying too hard to be different or novel. The service was appropriately unintrusive. The prices were fair and the amount of food appropriate for a non-chain restaurant of this caliber.

All-Star panel weighs in

Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
On -- we're just minutes away again from the battleground state of Virginia.
Closing the commonwealth of Virginia let's pairing bring back the panel we've been focusing a lot -- about Virginia.
But as we talked about what Charles it's so much broader than that.
What amount to do what we're seeing about the electorate tonight and early the turnaround -- anecdotally getting that the turnaround -- -- but we don't really know what the electorate looks like.
Well and we also don't know for example.
For example there's a high turnout in what have been democratic areas.
-- those people are all gonna vote for the Democrat and all that's a pretty good indication but this is an unusual year we've had seen unusual things all through this year.
I think that but the the thing to watch is the independents and how they break.
And as we get more exit poll data plus some raw data we'll have a better feel for that.
Romney needs as it paid a distinct majority of independents and to me when and if he gets them as a very good chance you will win my -- I think the simplest way to to sort of place and -- electorate is.
If you -- nearly all your party and you probably will both candidates would probably do that.
And you win a distinct comment about a slight but -- distinct majority of independents you're human election.
So we're looking for one thing throughout the course of the evening that's a very good thing to keep -- on and it may be needed before we even have the the bill -- much of the raw data we'll have a better sense an exit polls and we do now about having independence from Britain and the early cut there were braking slightly.
For Romney.
Obviously we're focused on the presidential race but we're watching these senate races in particular -- some of the house races.
And -- set at one of the biggest races that's gotten the most attention why is this Elizabeth Warren Scott Brown in Massachusetts.
How important is that race tonight.
I think it's a really telling -- because -- you'll call Megan.
Elizabeth Warren left the administration in the midst of a big fight over her confirmation to.
Kind of be a consumer.
Surrogate for the nation and Republicans wouldn't confirm -- -- such as gonna go out and run and run against.
A man who is really sort of a moderate Republican and again they're not that many moderate Republicans but she has managed to make him into a surrogate if you will for all Republicans in a very blue state Massachusetts in -- running for Ted Kennedy's seat.
And -- and there are some races that coincide with get out the vote efforts by the presidential race for example in Wisconsin the Tommy Thompson.
-- race.
There are the Republicans are hoping he can pull off a win there and.
Romney's hoping that he can pull off Wisconsin yeah I mean I think overall in the senate -- probably not gonna see much of a shift which is interesting we think back about a year ago I think you were thinking Democrats for defending so many seats and they were going to be in trouble.
And Elizabeth Warren -- is important to people because she's kind of this liberal hero and I think people are feeling.
She's a couple points up and have an expectation she's gonna winner to be very -- -- -- -- Steve stand by.

They may ease labor pain directly or indirectly by soothing and relaxing you.What is needed to use comfort measures?Comfort measures may require nothing more than adjusting the lighting or a pair of willing hands to rub your back. They may also be as elaborate as a temperature-controlled tub big enough to move around in and deep enough to immerse you to your shoulders when seated. Many items are inexpensive and can easily be brought with you such as massage oil, massage tools, or frozen gel packs. Others can be improvised on site such as making a cold pack by putting ice chips in an exam glove and tying it off.One of the major advantages in hiring a doula to provide labor support is that she knows many comfort measures. Most doulas bring comfort-related items with them to the birth. What are the advantages of comfort measures?Comfort measures:

THE CURRENT CINEMA about Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh, who has made twenty-six feature films in twenty-four years, has just turned fifty, and he says that, after his new film, "Side Effects," he wants to leave movies behind in order, mostly, to paint. The first thing to say about "Side Effects" is that it isn't a valedictory in any way, though it's very much a Soderbergh film, an experiment in form that begins as one kind of movie and ends as something entirely different. Initially, we seem to be watching a downbeat drama about a depressed young woman, Emily (Rooney Mara), whose husband, Martin (Channing Tatum), is just out of prison after serving a four-year term for insider trading. Emily becomes the patient of an earnest British-born psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law), who prescribes antidepressants, including Ablixa (a made-up drug). Then she really starts to lose it. The screenplay was written by Scott Z. Burns, who wrote "Contagion" (2011) for Soderbergh, and, for a while, we think this movie may be an attack on the pharmaceutical industry and the prescription-drug culture. But, when a murder is committed, "Side Effects" begins to change. The movie becomes a kind of sober-sided Hitchcockian thriller, featuring the master's favorite theme: the transference of guilt. Soderbergh got going, in 1989, with "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," but anyone who expected Soderbergh to become devoted to quiet, confessional filmmaking was wrong. Anyone who has expected him to do anything in particular has been wrong. He has made violent thrillers ("The Limey"), science-fiction fantasies ("Kafka," "Solaris"), historical dramas ("Che," "The Good German"), star vehicles ("Erin Brockovich," "Ocean's Eleven"), semi-incomprehensible experiments ("Schizopolis," "Full Frontal"), scary, social-issue epics ("Traffic," "Contagion"), and a lot more (including documentaries and TV shows). Soderbergh may be the ultimate example of what Steven Spielberg called the "chameleon" director, who takes his shape from the material he works with. Discusses several of Soderbergh's movies at greater length, as well as his use of Hollywood stars, such as George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

NH TEA Party Republicans Better At Revenue & Spending Estimates Than Democrats…Again!
I know… New Hampshire Democrats were losing sleep in hopes of some politically-beneficial revenue numbers, and guess what? They were politically beneficial….To TEA Party Republicans.
The Union Leader is reporting that New Hampshire state revenues were slightly above estimates in July, with solid performances that suggest we are budgeting wisely so that the working families and small business owners in New Hampshire can continuing to drag us out of the economic quick sand in which Democrat tax and spend polices have had us trapped.
So How well did the TEA Party Republicans manage your money for July 2012?
A few highlights from the Article by Gary Rano…
- Business taxes returned $17.9 million, $2.7 million than budget writers anticipated and $2.8 million more than a year ago.
- The rooms and meals tax produced $23.3 million in July, $2.4 million ahead of plan and $2.2 million more than a year ago.
- The Department of Revenue Administration attributed the good results to an improved economy and good weather in June.
- The tobacco tax was slightly ahead of target, producing $19.2 million in July, while liquor revenue also was about what was anticipated, returning $12.1 million. Also, the communications tax was on target returning $7.2 million for the month.
- The real estate transfer tax is beginning to rebound after years of dismal returns. In July, the tax produced $8.5 million, 13.3 percent ahead of estimates and about $1 million more than a year ago.
- Below estimates for the month were the securities, utility consumption, beer and gaming taxes. The only levy to produce less than it did a year ago was the beer tax, down $100,000 on returns of $1.3 million.
Numbers coming in slightly above plan. The tax base building slowly without new taxes and fees. None of that constant left-wing fiscal crisis. (No 800 million dollar deficits.) Just another great reason to make sure Republicans continue as the responsible stewards of your tax dollars. Yeah, Democrats will hate this so it must be a good thing.

Documents Show Top Officials Lied About Fast & Furious
The scandal surrounding the Obama administration's operation "Fast and Furious," which sent thousands of American guns to Mexican drug cartels, continues to escalate. Senior officials and a new trove of documents released yesterday further confirm that the Justice Department provided false information about the deadly scheme to Congress. And the number of Congressman demanding Attorney General Eric Holder's resignation has now soared well above 50.
Holder Admits Lies in Fast and Furious, Refuses to Resign
Instead of offering his resignation as a growing chorus of critics has demanded, Attorney General Eric Holder (left) is going on the offensive over his alleged perjury and the growing scandal surrounding the Obama administration's deadly "Fast and Furious" program that supplied weapons to Mexican drug cartels.
U.S. Military Program Arming Local Police Expands
Billions of taxpayer dollars are being used by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide military-grade weaponry to local law-enforcement departments, and the shadowy "1033" weapons program is expanding at a record pace. But critics of the scheme are concerned as even small-town police forces are building up arsenals that include amphibious tanks, helicopters, armored personnel carriers, robots, grenade launchers, and more.
Pennsylvania Judge Jailed for 28 Years in "Kids-for-Cash" Scheme
After more than 10 years of allegedly sending youths to private prisons in exchange for around $1 million in kickbacks, former Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Judge Mark Ciavarella (left) was sentenced to 28 years in prison — essentially a life sentence for the 61-year-old convicted criminal.
Trafficker: U.S. Feds Aided Mexican Drug Cartel
A high-ranking Mexican drug trafficker with the powerful Sinaloa cartel made a series of explosive allegations in a federal court filing, arguing that he had an agreement with top U.S. officials allowing his criminal empire to obtain American weapons from the federal government while shipping tons of cocaine and heroin across the border. According to court documents, U.S. agents even helped the cartel elude Mexican and American investigators in exchange for information on rival drug groups.
Terror War Expanding, Shifting to the Right
Even before the July 22 terror attacks in Norway, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was hyping fears about terrorism coming from average Americans — conservatives, veterans, Tea Party types, and others.
Secret Service Questions Boy, 13, Without Parent
The U.S. Secret Service pulled a 7th grader out of class for questioning at a Tacoma middle school about a posting he made on Facebook, prompting outrage from the boy's mother who says she was not consulted by authorities. Now, the story is attracting international attention.
Death Threat Sent to Wrong Koch Brothers
Hateful leftists accidentally targeted the wrong Koch brothers with protests, angry phone calls, and even a death threat, directing their fury at a small family-owned business in Iowa called Koch Brothers instead of the billionaire industrialists known for financing conservative and libertarian causes whom the activists were actually upset with.
Gag Order in Pa. Abortionist's Capital Murder Case
A Philadelphia judge issued a "gag order" in the trial of Pennsylvania abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who could face the death penalty if convicted on multiple murder charges for allegedly delivering viable children, killing them with scissors outside of the womb, and then keeping severed body parts as souvenirs and trophies at what prosecutors described as his "house of horrors" abortion clinic.
Anti-War Nun, Priests, Grandmas Sentenced to Prison
A federal judge sentenced a group of five anti-nuclear weapons protesters — two elderly priests, an 84-year-old nun, a retired teacher, and a 61-year-old social worker — to prison after they admitted to breaking into a U.S. naval base to hang banners and pray.

Following the success of our first PC case, the award-winning Nanoxia Deep Silence 1, we now present to you the next model, the Deep Silence 2: The Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 is a particularly spacious mid-tower which, due to its extraordinary depth, offers a huge amount of internal space for demanding hardware configurations. Of course, the Deep Silence 2 is fully soundproofed and prepared for water cooling systems. A specially designed Mounting Bracket on the HDD cage can be used to mount 240 or 120 mm radiators, which can be equipped with up to four 120 mm fans. Thanks to a depth of 588 mm, collisions with motherboard components or power supply are virtually eliminated. Included are three Nanoxia Deep Silence 120 mm fans (approx. 1,300 RPM), which can be operated using the 2-channel fan controller. The Tower can accommodate E-ATX motherboards and up to seven hard drives - the maximum cooler height is 165 mm. The Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 will be available at the end of December 2012. Deep Silence 2 Specifications ● Form factor: E-ATX, ATX, M-ATX, Mini-ITX ● 5.25 inch drive bay external: 3 x ● 3.5 inch drive bay external: 1 x (optional) ● 3.5 inch drive bay internal: 7 x ● Case Fan (Front): 2 x 120 mm ● Case Fan (Rear): 1 x 120 mm ● Case Fan (Mounting Bracket): 2 x 120 mm (optional) ● Case Fan (Top): 2 x 120/140 mm (optional) ● Case Fan (Bottom): 1 x 120/140 mm (optional) ● Case Fan (Left Sidepanel): 1 x 120/140 mm (optional) ● Height: 468 mm ● Width: 207 mm ● Depth: 588 mm ● Material: 0.7 mm steel
Almost reminds me of the Antec sonata with a certain influence from the p180 *borat's voice* Ahhhh liiiek !!!!
To make room for the dust filter of course, it would be less cost efficient to widen the case just for larger feet. Then again, Nanoxia could have probably redesigned the dust filter instead.
All I see is a slightly modded Fractal Design R3 with less vents on the front panel and a split half size door (antec sonata as someone else said). :/
So all they did was remove the cool looking air chimney, add in options to stick internal fans and a stamped out side grill for the side panel rather than a cut out. Looks exactly like a fractal clone now. The Deep Silence 1 only came out recently right?
Wait, they got rid of the air chimney? One of the few things that set them apart? Stepping backwards, Nanoxia...
The air chimney was noting more than a top piece that lifted up (to allow convective airflow out of the top). Want the chimney back? Remove one of the top fan covers and poof, you have it back
I don't like how they didn't paint the back of the exterior, and I think with those feet the PSU will suffocate on a carpeted floor. I prefer not to have top or side ventilation, but that's just personal preference. Other than that, seems good.
The back of the chassis is the same colour as the internal, if you buy a white case you get a white back and so on. Personally i may purchase this case but i will have to read some reviews first. I also looked at the older case and the dimensions are different this one is deeper than the "older" model and it has a slightly different motherboard tray layout. Some of the changes are minor but the more i look the more i like it over the older case. Actually i prefer the way the fans are mounted on the front of the old case, the new case has them on one bracket rather than the 2 separate pieces that swing open.
It's not quite the same...Besides, don't you have to remove the fan covers from the inside? That's a hell of a lot less convenient.
I get that it is not as convenient, but there is no way to rid the chassis of convective air flow, just ways to cover the top of the "chimney". So even though the top is a little less convenient to use, they still technically keep the air chimney.
They could cut a jagged hole in the side of the Nonoxia Deep Silence 3 and technically create a window, but given what they've shown themselves to be capable of, I'd honestly expect a little more.

An early Sunday shooting in Lansing has sent one man to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
It happened around 3:30 a.m. on the 5300 block of South Waverly Road in Lansing.
Police do not believe the shooting was random. Officers say the 38-year-old victim knew his attacker.
Authorities are following leads on a suspect, but say the case is still under investigation.
