I have a game plan. I am stuck with the implementation. I would like to ultimately purchase the Epic 5K but it is not going to be available for some time. In the interim I am considering purchaseing the Red One and then selling it back to Red for the 17,500 rebate when the Epic comes available. It sounds great but the problem is all the accessories. If the accessories are not compatible with the Epic then I will be stuck with the batteries, charger, production base, red drive, CF drives ect. . .
Does anyone know what accessories will be compatible with both cameras?
Any help would be appriciated.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Credit: CBS
Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan pull up a couple of chairs for a vice presidential debate that has mushroomed in importance since Mitt Romney's strong showing in the first presidential faceoff.
This time, it's the Obama team looking to put the brakes on the other guy's momentum.
The veep showdown Thursday night at Centre College in Danville, Ky., matches up two skilled politicians with strong policy credentials and very different styles.
It's 69-year-old Biden's solid vice presidential portfolio vs. 42-year-old Ryan's intensity and extensive knowledge of the federal budget and economy from 14 years in Congress.
Romney and Obama themselves meet up again Tuesday.

SAN MARINO - Stopping penalty kicks is difficult for every goalie.
It can especially be daunting when making the first start of the season in a CIF-Southern Section Division 5 quarterfinal playoff game.
San Marino High goalkeeper Sarah Blasher, starting her first high school game because of an injury to regular keeper Elizabeth Hannan, made the save of her life in penalty kicks to lead the Rio Hondo League champions to a victory over Valley Christian of Cerritos. After the two teams tied, 1-1, after 80 minutes of regulation play and two 10-minute overtime periods, San Marino advanced on penalty kicks, 5-3.
"I was very nervous all day," Blasher said. "But I told myself I want to make history."
It is the first time the Titans will advance to the semifinals. They will play at Cabrillo of Lompoc on Tuesday. Cabrillo defeated No. 2 seed St. Margaret's 1-0.
With the Titans leading, 4-3, after the first seven shots by players from both teams went into the net, Blasher correctly guessed which way the Crusaders' Grace DeGroot would go. Blasher leaped and smothered DeGroot's mid-height shot to the left and Hope Welder put in the subsequent shot to win the game.
"I told her she had one in her," San Marino coach Jaime Acuna said. "She made the one we asked for. Coming in the last game and this game. She's just big-time."
The Crusaders' Natalie DeVries scored 10 minutes into the game when Blasher misjudged her 50-yard hit, which resembled more of a pass than a shot. Blasher came up on the ball and it bounced over her head into the goal.
The Titans tied the game in the 33rd minute. Hayley Thompson took a long pass from Quinta Addis. When defender Ashley Allen slipped, Thompson had a one-on-one opportunity against goalkeeper Haley Magana.
There was no scoring for the next 66 minutes, including a 48-minute second half because of injuries.
Gabrielino 1,
Campbell Hall 1,
Gabrielino wins on
PKs, 2-1
Gabrielino scored in the game's first five minutes and then did not get the ball into the net until it went to penalty kicks in a Division 7 game at Campbell Hall.
Erin Natsume scored in the game's fifth minute off of a corner kick. The Vikings tied the game off a corner kick.
Gabrielino, which went into the tournament unseeded, remains unbeaten on the season with a 13-0-3 record. The Eagles will make their first semifinal appearance Tuesday against No. 2 seed Marshall.

The Kenerator
Automatic Puzzle Producer
Mr. Miyamoto is a totally nice guy. But, as KENKEN grew, he was slightly hesitant to keep creating millions of new puzzles by hand, every day of the year, all by himself. (It would definitely cut into his scuba-diving time.) So the Kenerator was born: a complex artificial-intelligence computer program that generates and checks every new puzzle. The Kenerator was designed with the oversight and according to the specifications of Mr. Miyamoto, working side-by-side with leading artificial-intelligence expert David Levy.
The Kenerator instantly verifies that each "cage" is correct, that no number appears more than once in a row or column, and most importantly, that each KENKEN puzzle has only one solution.
The Kenerator also assesses the relative difficulty level of each puzzle: easiest, easy, medium, or hard. This process is the result of a personalized algorithm based on a wide variety of factors.
And you thought we just picked the numbers out of a hat, didn't you?

Display, Exhibit, & Free Literature Space Policy
In keeping with the KCLS Mission to "Provide free, open and equal access to ideas and information to all members of the community," and with its principle of service to "Provide free access to, and promote the communication of, ideas and information," the Library System seeks exhibits and displays that reflect the broad range of interests of the people within the numerous communities served.Display space has been specifically created in community libraries to provide a venue for the exhibit of materials that will encourage the communication of a wide span of ideas and information. It is the role of the library system to include exhibits that may be thought-provoking.
The space is open to all members of the community on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting use of the space. The managing librarian has the authority to select or reject requests for the limited display and exhibit space based on KCLS guidelines (see below).
KCLS provides a variety of information regarding services, collections and programs that is featured in the display areas in libraries. The Library System also places on display information and promotional materials from local governments and organizations in the community, as space is available.
The KCLS Community Relations Department accepts publications, flyers, posters, etc. from organizations and distributes them to the libraries. Library Managers have the final say over what and how many items are displayed, based on community interest.
KCLS also features information regarding changes in services, programs, and other materials.
We strive to provide this information within the space limitations in the libraries. With display equipment and creativity in display areas, we can provide this service within the following guidelines:
First Priority - KCLS Materials- KCLS library materials
- KCLS News and Events, Omnibus, open hours, announcements, etc.
- Community library program publicity
- KCLS special promotions
- Needs and interests of the community
- Relevance (local community group, activity, etc.)
- Timeliness
- Non-profit group
- Community meetings
- Quality of publication, flyers, etc.
Weed out-of-date materials frequently, at least weekly.
In addition, libraries follow "Exhibit Spaces and Bulletin Boards: An Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights," which states:
Libraries often provide exhibit spaces and bulletin boards. The uses of these spaces should conform to the Library Bill of Rights: Article I states, "Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation." Article II states, "Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval." Article VI maintains that exhibit space should be made available "on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use."
In developing library exhibits, staff members should endeavor to present a broad spectrum of opinion and a variety of viewpoints. Libraries should not shrink from developing exhibits because of controversial content or because of the beliefs or affiliations of those whose work is represented. Just as libraries do not endorse the viewpoints of those whose works are represented in their collections, libraries do not endorse the beliefs or viewpoints of topics which may be the subject of library exhibits.
Exhibit areas often are made available for use by community groups. Libraries should formulate a written policy for the use of these exhibit areas to assure that space is provided on an equitable basis to all groups which request it.
Written policies for exhibit space should be stated in inclusive rather than exclusive terms. For example, a policy that the library's exhibit space is open "to organizations engaged in educational, cultural, intellectual, or charitable activities" is an inclusive statement of the limited uses of the exhibit space. This defined limitation would permit religious groups to use the exhibit space because they engage in intellectual activities, but would exclude most commercial uses of the space.
A publicly supported library may limit use of its exhibit space to strictly "library-related" activities, provided that the limitation is clearly circumscribed and is viewpoint-neutral.
Libraries may include in this policy rules regarding the time, place, and manner of use of the exhibit space, so long as the rules are content-neutral and are applied in the same manner to all groups wishing to use the space. A library may wish to limit access to exhibit space to groups within the community served by the library. This practice is acceptable provided that the same rules and regulations apply to everyone, and that exclusion is not made on the basis of the doctrinal, religious, or political beliefs of the potential users.
The library should not censor or remove an exhibit because some members of the community may disagree with its content. Those who object to the content of any exhibit held at the library should be able to submit their complaint and/or their own exhibit proposal to be judged according to the policies established by the library.
Libraries may wish to post a permanent notice near the exhibit area stating that the library does not advocate or endorse the viewpoints of exhibits or exhibitors.
Libraries that make bulletin boards available to public groups for posting notices of public interest should develop criteria for the use of these spaces based on the same considerations as those outlined above. Libraries may wish to develop criteria regarding the size of material to be displayed, the length of time materials may remain on the bulletin board, the frequency with which material may be posted for the same group, and the geographic area from which notices will be accepted.

Viridian Renew™ represents the latest development in glass technology. The special dual action Renew coating helps keep glass free from organic dirt, saving time, money, water and detergents – all associated with window cleaning for the life of the window. Cleaning costs, especially those associated with large buildings over the life of the building are significant. Renew provides a quick payback on investment.
Renew has a specially developed, completely transparent exterior coating. This is applied during manufacture to clear glass, producing an innovative dual cleaning action. Once exposed to daylight it reacts with the UV rays to breakdown and disintegrate organic dirt deposits such as bird droppings and tree sap. Secondly, when water hits the glass, Renew has a hydrophilic quality that assists in washing dirt away without leaving spots or streaks.
During dry spells and cloudy days Renew will continue to break down organic dirt but the lack of sufficient rainfall may prevent the hydrophilic washing.
Renew works continuously with dirt being washed away whenever it rains. The coating can take between five to seven days after glazing to activate.
Renew can be combined with other glasses such as a solar control laminate (Viridian VLam™) or insulating glass unit (Viridian ThermoTech™) for thermal comfort.
Renew can be used in almost any exterior application. It can be installed at any angle ranging from vertical or sloped roofs of no less than 10.° Ideally 30° is recommended. It is especially useful for inaccessible windows or windows that are unsafe to clean and where dirt collects, such as roof lights.
If rain does not normally reach the glass, dirt deposits are less likely to be washed away and may need more regular hosing. Renew is not suitable for interior use.

text: It was announced after last night's 9-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies that veteran right fielder Jayson Werth broke his left wrist attempting to make a sliding grab in the outfield. He had the same wrist operated on twice in 2006, causing him to miss that entire season. He will see a specialist today to determine whether or not there is any ligament damage. If there is no ligament damage, he should only be out about two months if all goes well with his rehab. However, if there is ligament damage along with the break, he could miss the rest of the season, so Monday's results will be critical.

Almost three years ago I made the biggest decision of my life to date…I moved across the country to Austin, Texas for grad school. Having grown up in Virginia and following in my two older sisters shoes and going to Virginia Tech for undergrad, I was itching to do something totally different. I applied to five schools, four on the East Coast and threw in The University of Texas at Austin as my wildcard school since it was a great program and I'd heard so many good things about Austin. I never really thought I'd actually consider going there. However, when I went out to visit the city, the school, and the people captivated my heart. My final decision was between UVA(sorry Dad) and UT and while my head told me Virginia made more sense because it was close to my family, my heart and my gut told me to take the plunge and move 1,600 miles away.
My two years in Austin were my favorite two years so far. While business school was the most stressful thing I've ever been through, my life was also filled with adventure, new friends, awesome live music, beautiful weather, and amazing Austin food! If you've never been to Austin, I suggest you plan a visit in your near future. It's a unique, beautiful city and there is always something fun going on. If you do go, below is my Must Eat in Austin list. Enjoy!
1. When you are in Austin, you have to have breakfast tacos or migas. It's a must. What are migas you ask? It's a traditional Tex-Mex breakfast dish that consists of scrambled eggs mixed with strips of corn tortillas, onions, chiles, tomatoes and cheese. Migas are typically served with refried beans and corn or flour tortillas. My personal favorite spot for migas is the South Congress Cafe(http://www.southcongresscafe.com/). Not only do you get migas deliciousness, but they have a really tasty Gouda potato pancake they serve with with it. And their flour tortillas are the best I think I've ever had. While you are in the area, walk up and down Congress Ave and stop in the many colorful boutiques and shops.
For breakfast tacos I suggest Taco Deli (http://tacodeli.com/). A lot of coffee shops around town have Taco Deli breakfast tacos, but don't get them here. Go to the source. I recommend the Jess Special, which is migas with fresh avocado and the Otto, which is refried black beans with cheese, bacon and avocado. There's no better way to start a Saturday than with some Taco Deli tacos and then a walk around Town Lake on the hike and bike trail.
2. When you are in Texas you also have to have some Texas BBQ. For this I'd recommend either driving to Driftwood for The Salt Lick (about 20-30 mins outside of Austin, http://www.saltlickbbq.com/) or checking out Franklin Barbecue (http://franklinbarbecue.com/). The key with Franklin's is that they only serve lunch and once they run out they are done. This causes people to line up before they open to ensure that they'll get the scrumtulesant goodness. The two must haves with Texas barbecue are brisket and white sandwich bread used to sop up all the sauce.
At the Salt Lick you've got to get the brisket and ribs. Their potato salad is also really good because it's not mayonnaise based. It's got a really nice acidic taste to it instead. I think my favorite part might be sopping up their baked beans and barbecue sauce with their white bread though.
At Franklin I'd also highly recommend the brisket. The bark on the outside of the meat is rich and smokey. And try to save room for dessert even though this is nearly impossible with the portion sizes. They have a bourbon banana cream pie that is really amazing. The only thing missing was a heaping pile of whipped cream on top.
3. In Austin you really can't go wrong with a food truck. There are so many imaginative trucks that serve up delicious fare for cheap prices. Three of my favorites are Torchy's Tacos (http://torchystacos.com/), Gordoughs (http://www.gourdoughs.com/) and Kebabalicious (http://www.austinkebab.com/).
Torchy's Tacos has a few actual establishments around town, but their trailer park location is probably my favorite. On a warm night you can sit outside under old trees that are strung up with lights. On a chilly night you can sit around a fire pit and enjoy some tacos too. Another added bonus of the trailer park is that there's another food truck next door called Holy Cacao that specializes in cake balls. Their Brass Balls chocolate peanut butter cake ball is the perfect sweet treat after stuffing yourself with Torchys. There are a lot of Tex-Mex places in Austin, but I think Torchy's has the best tacos hands down. Here I'd highly recommend the Fried Avocado taco, yes I said it fried avocado. Whoever thought of this was a genius. It's a perfect mix of creamy avocado, refried beans, cheese, pico and this special green poblano sauce they make. The other taco you should try is the Baja Shrimp that has lightly fried shrimp, cabbage slaw, pickled onions and jalapenos, queso fresco and their chipotle sauce. I think the pickled onions make the taco.
Gordoughs serves up gourmet donuts that seem bigger than your face. I'm pretty sure if I let myself go here every time I wanted to I would have had to roll out of Austin. While I don't think you can go wrong here, I'd recommend the Granny's Pie donut which has pecans, bananas, cream cheese frosting, caramel sauce and brown sugar. It probably also has over the recommended amount of calories for an entire day, but it's worth every bite!
Kebabalicious was my favorite late night stop. I don't want to admit how many times I stopped for some falafel on my way home from the bars. Their is just something about Kebabalicious. The falafel is soft, but crispy on the outside. They use a delicious hummus and all their veggies are really fresh. You just need to go.
Are you salivating all over your computer yet? This is just a handful of my favorite places, my list could go on an on. The bottom line is you won't leave Austin hungry! While I was sad to leave this wonderful city after I graduated, I'm always excited to go back and visit and stuff myself.

Hi folks.
I'm going to setup a tank for Messor barbarus.
the tank is 4' x 15" x 12"
what would be the ideal setup for them?
Is a sand loam mix best for the area that I would like them to nest in?
i thought about planting a small area with grass.
Or should I just stick to good old sand?
any help appreciated.

One of the hardest challenges dieters face is dining out and being social—without sabotaging their weight loss. Believe it or not, you can eat out 365 days a year and still maintain a healthy body weight. It all comes down to the choices you make—like watching portion sizes and ordering a piece of fish grilled, not fried. Try these 15 simple suggestions to make dining out a healthier, yet still fun, experience:
1. Choose the restaurant yourself. Instead of blaming someone else when you end up at a restaurant with unhealthy choices, take charge and be the planner. It's not always an option, especially if it's a business dinner, but at least make it happen the majority of the time.
2. Check the menu online. So many restaurants today have menus available online. Before you even step in the door, figure out what the healthy options are and if you should even bother going. Decide ahead of time what you're going to order, and stick with it.
3. Don't skip meals, but do grab a snack. Too many people feel that if they're going out to dinner, they need to starve themselves earlier in the day. Don't skip meals—in fact, have a well-balanced snack before you go. The last thing you want is to wind up in a restaurant feeling starved. If that happens, you'll almost definitely make poor choices.
4. Order first. If you can be the first person at the table to order, do it. As we all know, sometimes we're easily swayed by our peers; by ordering first, we're less likely to change our selection.
5. Read the menu carefully and don't be afraid to ask questions. There's nothing wrong with requesting changes to a menu. Remember, you're the one who is paying the bill. For example, if you see sautéed spinach on the menu but your dish comes with mashed potatoes, ask if you could substitute. But most importantly: Be nice about it.
6. Say no to bread. Bread at the table almost always means more calories for the meal. Simply say "no thank you" when the server wants to place some directly on your plate. If a basket is on the table, move it beyond arm's reach.
7. Start with a salad. The healthiest beginning to any meal is often a salad. It helps fill you up, so you're less likely to finish your entire entrée.
8. Order dressing and sauces on the side. No need to eat your food plain—but it's best to be the one in the driver's seat. When dressings and sauces are on the side, you can flavor your food while controlling how many extra calories you consume.
9. An appetizer can make a great entrée. Many places serve huge portions, and it's tough not to finish these, especially if they taste good. Some appetizers make really delicious entrées, and they're half the size. If you are in the mood for pasta, see if they have a half order available; to make up for the smaller dish, get an extra veggie on the side.
10. Go fishing. Fish is typically a reliable choice compared to many other entrées. But fattier fish, such as tuna and salmon, can still be high in calories, especially if the portions are huge. Opt for a leaner white fish if you dine out often, like flounder, shrimp, halibut, or scallops.
11. Remember that alcohol counts. It affects calories and your ordering skills. Having a snack beforehand is very important, because it helps keep alcohol from going straight to your head and making you more vulnerable to poor menu choices. Aim for a one cocktail mindset and stay away from any fruity drinks. (These are often highest in calories.)
12. The more forks, the merrier. If you must order dessert, share it. Dessert shouldn't be eaten on a regular basis unless you're dining out with a party of six and sharing just one treat. Even sorbet, served usually in three scoops, ought to be shared.
13. Try fruit for dessert. Sometimes fresh fruit isn't listed on the menu, but if you ask, you might be surprised that it's available. Just pass on the whipped cream.
14. Don't finish everything on your plate. Being a member of the clean plate club is passé. If you're a fast eater and finish before anyone else at the table, don't hesitate to ask a server to remove your plate before you eat more than you should. Maybe it isn't proper etiquette to have your plate removed before anyone else's, but that's OK.
15. Bring home leftovers. Leftovers are nothing to be ashamed of. On the contrary, they're something to be proud of. They make a statement that says "I was able to stop when I was full"—a really hard thing for most of us to do. However, if you made a poor meal choice that night, no need for a doggy bag. Just leave it behind.
On some occasions, it's OK to overlook these tips—for instance, on a birthday or anniversary. But if you go out weekly, it's time to buckle down and make some changes. Don't let dining out sabotage your health; but rather, embrace it.

Yahoo might have shown early interest in acquiring Hulu. But with Hulu being a big part of Yahoo's newly launched 'Screen' video portal, is there any reason for Yahoo to buy the company outright? That might be one reason Yahoo seems less interested in an acquisition.

Round 2-way in-ceiling loudspeaker.
10 5/8" Diameter
26.99cm Diameter
In-Ceiling Ambience, Easy Installation
This round in-ceiling loudspeaker is the high performance built-in with your budget in mind. It achieves superior detail and imaging—making it perfect for even front stage stealth home theater system positions—with an aimable 1-inch silk dome tweeter. This tweeter features a tiny, powerful neodymium magnet structure, and is positioned on an offset drive unit with a 15° tilt. Aim it for excellent imaging even in off-axis listening positions. This wide-dispersion design delivers uniform sound coverage even in larger rooms. Paint the grilles for a professionally stealth in-ceiling installation effect.
TC80i Features:
Easy one-cut, drop-in installation puts built-in audio within reach, with Perfect Fit templates, a precision flange, and (available) pre-construction brackets; achieve secure, vibration-free efficiency with a simple turn of the patented Rotating Cam system.
Rustproof stainless steel hardware, durable butyl rubber surrounds and powder coated aluminum grilles make TCi Series speakers suitable for high moisture areas like bathrooms, transitional spaces or even under eaves or in the ceiling of an enclosed porch. (TCi series are not suitable for exposed outdoor use. For outdoor speaker fun, use our Atrium® Series.)
Paintable grilles let you build them in, and then forget all about them; TCi Series practically disappear into any room.
Silk dome tweeters deliver clear and detailed highs, without fatigue, even at high volume.
TCi Speakers are specially engineered to utilize the "virtual enclosure" of your in-wall and in-ceiling space to enhance their bass response and smooth low frequency blending with the midrange. In-wall performance enclosures are available separately for even more superior dynamics!
Polk's proprietary, patented Dynamic Balance® technology allows our engineers to design out distortion-causing driver and system resonances, so you only hear the good sounds.
Easily accessible custom audio controls allow you to tweak your sound for optimum performance in any installation: Use the reflective room (tweeter) compensation switch to digitally compensate for harsh reflective surfaces, and the wall distance setting toggle to compensate for proximity to corners or adjacent walls.
PowerPort® bass venting is Polk's patented design for smoothly transitioning the air flow from the port into your listening area, eliminating turbulence and distortion, for bigger, more efficient, deep bass impact.
TCi Series speakers are timbre-matched to Polk RTiA speakers to insure utterly seamless blending from speaker to speaker in systems that combine traditional and built-in speakers.
TCi Series speakers are packaged one-per-box, so you can use singles as front or rear center channels, or as additional-zone speakers anywhere.
All Polk products are made using the best materials and the most advanced manufacturing techniques. They pass the industry's most exhaustive quality tests, including drop testing, extreme signal response and UV & salt exposure testing. Polk loudspeakers are built to perform for a lifetime.

8 out of 27 people found this review helpful.Strengths:
A solid, affordable choice for home theater systems, especially those with an active subwoofer to add critical, low-frequency bass. Their bright timbre makes them worth considering for both music, HDTV and movies.
In spite of the bright timber, the reduced bass response bandwidth specs (30 to 27,000Hz instead of the more typical 30-20,000Hz-range found in more expensive speakers) makes a pair of these slightly less satisfying for music if installed in rooms without a separate subwoofer. Use them with a sub and set the crossover to handle the low frequency range below 27,000Hz. With a limited 90dB sensitivity, you probably shouldn't drive these at the very highest volumes for music in large, cavernous rooms, but they are excellent at normal listening levels in typical U.S. homes.
Polk's TC80i in-ceiling speakers are nicely engineered, passive two-way, 8 Ohm speakers with specs that are well-suited for use with typical A/V Receivers on the market (with 10-125 watt amplifiers). They are crafted for really easy installation in drywall. The speaker and grille cover each have a solid feel, excellent form and fit, and even are paintable. We paired them up in an eight-foot ceiling with a different speaker brand with a similar (bright) timbre (which we already owned) and used them as rear speakers in a 7:1 home theater system in a mid-sized den with drywall, a carpeted floor and curtains to absorb sounds. They mounted solidly in the ceiling and clamped in tightly. The tweeter can be easily aimed at your target area. Together, the pair delivers very good surround sound and with little if any noticeable distortion and no rattling or other unwanted, extraneous squeaks or vibration noises. The TC80i speakers proved to be an excellent purchase for our use. They also didn't cost an arm and a leg and provide middle Americans with good value at a reasonable price. For just a little more money, they are much better them those home theater-in-a-box sound systems.

good sound for a main speaker
I have a pair of Rti4's as my front main speakers. Our house came prewired for "IN-CEILING" speakers so I thought I would give them a try. It only too a few min's to put them in and hook it all up. For a test I put on Rush 2112 and WOW these sound great then came a movie Fantastic 4 in DTS once again GRERAT. So if you have the pre wire for in-ceiling and don't want to spend for LCi these are great. Here is the system I have them hooked up to.

Great mid and tweet.
the tweeter didint want to stay at the right angle so I had to put a tap of super glue on the edge to keep in place. worked like a champ.
I had these in my last house. I bought them to upgrade a 6.1 surround I already had. I purchased the TC80i for more bass than the 6" and BOY WAS I HAPPY!!! THese have alot of great mid tones along with directional tweet. no problem fitting between studs. Highly recommend.

Bentley S3 Continental, Blue, for sale in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, for $199,900.
The only vehicle in the history of the Rolls-Royce Owners Club to win "Best of Show"and the "Royce Memorial"trophies TWICE.
Generally regarded as the last of the true coach-built Bentleys, the S3 Continental Drophead coupes were built shortly after the merger of H. J. Mulliner and Park Ward. Sources indicate that 86 were built on the Bentley S3 chassis (56 RHD and 28 LHD) for which the body was expressly designed, making them exceedingly rare today. Chassis number BC84XC is a right-hand-drive model originally delivered to Jack Barclay LTD. in London. Restored several years ago and still presenting in spectacular condition today, this is a true #1 condition car that might be the finest one in existence. In fact, it is the only vehicle in the history of the Rolls-Royce Owners Club to win \"Best of Show\"and the \"Royce Memorial\"trophies TWICE.
Beautifully finished in its original color of Dawn Blue, the bodywork on this S3 is absolutely spectacular in every way with almost no signs of usage or wear. Single stage enamel was used in the refinishing process, matching the original paint exactly and carries a soft shine that just can't be duplicated using modern 2-stage urethanes. Of course, the hand-made body panels fit superbly, with exacting panel gaps and no misalignment anywhere, typical of Mulliner/Park Ward's workmanship. The car has never had any significant body repairs or damage, and it's clear that the paint has been carefully rubbed and buffed to a finish that's so distortion-free that you can use it as a mirror to shave each morning.
Of course, chrome and other brightwork is outstanding, from the grille (which is an incredibly rare NOS piece acquired from a distributor decades ago) to the bumpers, to the trim on the edges of the trunk opening. The polished trim along the body sides was optional, and brings some drama to the well-proportioned body. Notice the small details like the tiny windshield washer nozzle at the base of the windshield and the unique frames for the vent glass in the front doors. The headlight bezels are refinished in chrome (many S3 Bentleys feature painted bezels, which is incorrect), and feature original Marchal headlamps. A pair of accessory Lucas flamethrower driving lights have been installed on either side of the grille. All the plastic lenses, from the turn signals up front to the unique bullet-shaped taillights and signal indicators, are original Lucas pieces in excellent condition with no cracks or fading.
Finished using Bridge of Weir leather, the crimson interior is a sporting contrast to the Dawn Blue exterior, and certainly flashier than the original light gray hides. The patterns and stitching are all as-original, and every hand-built detail is correct, from the leather-bound carpet sets and mats to the instrument hood which was unique to Park Ward-built cars. As a hand-crafted automobile, any color combination was possible, so there are no deductions for the non-original color in points judging, and few will argue that it isn't dramatic as it is finished today. There is no notable wear outside of a comfortable, lived-in look to the seats that is evidence of both exceptional care and that this is a car you will want to drive whenever the opportunity presents itself.
You'll be delighted by the features and amenities in this S3, ranging from the adjustable arm rests on the doors to the pull-out tray under the dashboard, which features an ashtray that has never been used. The back seat folds down to create a flat luggage shelf, and new leather belts are included with the car which are designed to hold the luggage in place using brackets mounted at the base of the back seat cushion and in the convertible top well.
The wooden dashboard is so gorgeous to look at that you may find yourself distracted on the road. And yes, it is real wood—look at the glove box door and you can plainly see that it is a sculpted slab of 1-inch thick walnut, not a veneer. You'll find beautiful Smith's gauges arrayed in front of the driver, along with a large and very formal-feeling steering wheel and slender chrome shifter for the 4-speed automatic transmission. You'll also note that this car is equipped with air conditioning, which is fully functional and uses 100% original period components. The stereo is obviously not original, but is a quality Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette unit that was installed when the car was restored. You'll also find a matching carpeted floor mat and under the driver's feet, the insignia of H. J. Mulliner on a rubber insert.
Overhead, the insulated convertible top makes this car as hushed as a closed car, and is so beautifully finished that one observer refused to believe that the top could fold. Of course, the mechanism is power-actuated, and hides the entire assembly in the well in about 20 seconds, where it is covered by a matching crimson leather top boot. The top grain is correct, and there are no blemishes, wrinkles, or shrinkage in the material. The plastic rear window is crystal clear with no scoring or scratching. And speaking of plastic, the sun visors are tinted plexiglass, with the passenger enjoying a small beveled-glass vanity mirror. The owner informs me that an entire sheet of the correct material was especially made for this car, and that all of it was consumed to create these two perfect visors.
The trunk is finished with matching carpets, and features a complete original toolkit, tire inflator, and matching spare tire. Modern additions include a built-in Battery Tender whose plug is easily accessed at the rear of the trunk opening, and a battery shut-off switch on the trunk bulkhead.
Open the side-opening split hood, which, like the coachbuilt body, is a throwback to an earlier era, and you'll find Rolls-Royce's all-alloy 6.2 liter overhead valve V8. Fed by dual SU carburetors and with a slightly higher compression ratio than the S2 Bentleys, it produces an estimated 200 horsepower, since it was Rolls-Royce's policy at the time to only reveal that horsepower was 'adequate. ' Torquey, smooth, and almost completely silent in operation, it is the ideal companion for the owner-driver who enjoys putting his hardware on the road. As with the interior, numerous small details will delight the eye, from the air cleaner housing that can be folded out of the way, to the gorgeous black and silver paint on the engine itself. Note the Jack Barclay service plaque on the firewall, the valves to control coolant flow to the heater and defroster, and the period-correct A/C unit. This car also carries its original power steering system and correct generator unit. The original windshield washer system includes an incredibly rare Lucas 3-wire pump, the brake fluid reservoirs are correct Girling units, and the hoses and clamps are period accurate.
The chassis shows little evidence that this car is driven and no signs of any significant repairs or metal damage in the past, and certainly no rust. The rear springs are encased in leather coverings, the steering mechanism is highly detailed with correct fittings and hardware, and the brakes have been recently serviced. The exhaust system is a correct steel unit with a flat black high temperature finish, applied with a brush as it was at the factory. Tires are serviceable 8.20-15 US Royal Safety 800 bias ply wide whitewalls as original. E. F. Murphy of Columbus, Ohio, perhaps the foremost expert on these vehicles and one of few remaining factory-trained technicians, has performed all mechanical servicing for the past 20 years. Today it is in fully-sorted and road-worthy condition and requires nothing to be put into immediate use.
Documentation includes the original owner's manuals, and as an early S3, it came with an S2 manual and a supplement designed for the S3.
With this car comes a collection of spare parts, including a rare Lucas ignition coil, replacement belts and hoses, new leather luggage straps, a custom-fitted car cover, and perhaps most important to the owner who wants to drive his S3, a custom-made stone guard for the front end. Yes, we understand that it isn't beautiful to look at, but it will protect those priceless Marchal headlamps and the gorgeous paint finish. It is easily removed with hand tools in a matter of minutes, leaving no trace, and the screen material is commonly available should the need to replace it arise.
As the last of the true coachbuilt vehicles from Rolls-Royce/Bentley, these S3 Continentals have quickly appreciated in the market, a trend experts see continuing as values of S2 models ratchet upwards as well. Stunningly expensive when new, only a handful survive and this may very well be the nicest one extant. Beautifully finished in a spectacular color combination, this car is welcome at the highest levels and has seldom been shown. Truly a rare opportunity to own a hand-built Bentley.

Good to see Native people rally around a good cause. I am impressed and with the internet was able to share in this moment with you.
Video: 1,300-Person Idle No More Flash Mob in Seattle
A good 1,300 people gathered in Seattle for a "spontaneous" flash mob round dance in support of Canada's Idle No More movement recently, one of dozens that are sprouting up all over the world in support of northern Turtle Island's peoples.
From Seattle to Michigan and beyond, flash mobs are erupting into peaceful round dance demonstrations to protest Prime Minister Stephen Harper's legislation and the overall treatment and conditions of aboriginals in Canada.
The demonstrations have been peacefully jubilant, according to reports. Although one in Grand Traverse, Michigan, recently caused security to ask people to leave, according to the local-news website MichiganLive.com, another in Grand Rapids drew hundreds of onlookers on December 23.
The flash mob in Grand Rapids involved more than 300 American Indians, MichiganLive.com reported, all to support Canada and increase awareness of what is going on there.
"We want to educate the community and the public about what is going on in Canada and as Native people we are all related through our tribal nations," said Nathan Isaacs, a musician who helped organize the event, to MLive.com.
Meanwhile, 1,300 showed up for a flash mob in Seattle on December 22. Beating drums, chanting and singing traditional songs, the flash mobbers filled the hallways with music against the backdrop of designer makeup, shoes and a multitude of other retailers.

In late March, the ASPCA played a critical role in a three-state dog fighting raid that resulted in the rescue of nearly 100 animals. A few weeks after this intricately coordinated effort to rescue dogs in Texas, Missouri and Kansas went off without a hitch, we're able to update you on the dogs and the dog fighters.
The Victims
When we found these dogs, many were doomed to live their whole lives tethered by heavy chains—and on the day of the raid, many were left outside to suffer through a blizzard. Now, says ASPCA Vice President of Field Investigations and Response Tim Rickey, they're living in an entirely different world.
When the dogs arrived at our temporary shelter, our veterinary professionals, led by the ASPCA's Dr. Sarah Kirk, examined them quickly and thoroughly. Some dogs needed immediate care, while others require ongoing treatment which they are now receiving from ASPCA and local veterinarians.
An ASPCA behaviorist will be on the ground at the shelter throughout this operation, and while the dogs stay in our clean and spacious shelter, they will benefit from behavioral enrichment programs that incorporate toys, games and lots of fun interactions with people. The dogs will have regular access to one of several large exercise playpens, where they'll get to play with our responders and burn off excess doggy energy.
"Every day," Rickey says, "we're focusing on taking care of these animals and providing the best environment that we can for them."
The Suspects
The ASPCA continues to work to collect evidence and provide other support to law enforcement, working to ensure dog fighters pay for harming these animal victims. The charges are just starting to roll in:
Last week Pete Davis Jr. and Melvin L. Robinson, both of Kansas City, Kansas, were each charged in federal court with one count of transporting animals for participation in an animal fighting venture in interstate commerce. If convicted, they face up to five years in federal prison and a possible fine of up to $250,000.
"The case is not over yet—there's still a lot of work to be done on the investigation side," says Rickey, adding that he hopes to see more arrests in relation to this raid.
The ASPCA had been assisting the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies with the planning of this large-scale raid since November 2012. ASPCA Blood Sports Director Terry Mills provided his expertise to help these agencies maximize the operation's impact. Our next steps: continuing to provide top-notch care for these animals and working with authorities to secure the right to place dogs in loving homes.
If you've given to the ASPCA recently, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. This raid is an enormous undertaking and a huge commitment, but we are dedicated to being there for animal victims of cruelty whenever they need us. If you haven't yet given lately, please consider doing so today. On behalf of animals across the country, thank you!
I believe the charges they have agaisnt any person caught in the dog fighting ring deserves a harsher punishment than five years in prison. The amount the people have to pay in fines does not jusfied the amount of money it takes to take care of these dogs. Many of the dogs were knocking on deaths door, yet we spend money to rescue this animals while the people pretty much get a slap on the wrist. They should suffer unspeakale torture just as they have done to these helpeless animals. These animals are innocent and derseves justice. What is justice if we cannot enforce it? People in several third world countries enforce justice with torture (eye for an eye), yet people who harm other living things in the United States, such as animals get off with an insult to justice. I beieve people that harm animals should receive the same treatment they have done to the animals. For an example, since they were dog fighting, they should be thrown in a cage starving and cold no clothes and fight to the death just like the gladiators had to do. They should feel the pain they inflicted on this animals.
Over 70 fighting Pitbull just found at a murder scene in Holbrook Idaho. The situation was so bad some Humane Society workers were in tears. Thanks to all who love and help animals.
People like this are almost sub-human. I hope they get jail for a long, long time. Society will be much better off as will all the dogs they won't mistreat.
Thank you, ASPCA, for all of the work you do, especially on cases like these. Goid luck with rehabilitating and finding loving homes for these poor victims. And hopefully the states involved will give maximum sentencing to all involved in this vicious fighting ring.
The ASPCA helps humanity advance a little more everyday. Thank you for always keeping animals in mind and safe.
Good Job! Three "woofs" for the good guys. Let's hope these people pay a price so they will NEVER do such horrific things again.
Operations like this are the only way to solve the continued and sickening problem of animal cruelty. Not only does it nab the perpetrators, it raises general awareness and helps to educate the world that animals feel pain, physical and emotional abuse the same way that we do.
Hats off to the ASPCA!
Dr. Chip Stem, veterinarian
I'm hoping for guidance and direction in rescuing many pit bulls being held in hellish conditions in a building in this town. They are used for fighting and killing small animals.
The people who run the fighting business have people in town called 'butchers' who drive the streets looking for, in particular, puppies and kittens they can throw into the pit bull cages to maintain blood lust; they are also used for 'baiting'.
I need not describe the conditions the dogs are kept in or the horrific untreated injuries, if you have ever read about or seen these conditions of housing for yourself.
The town's PD is dirty. The county's DA is dirty. The Sheriff has instructed no participation. The Animal Control faction of the PD has recently been caught delivering stray puppies and kittens to the dog fighting business. The chief of police has been approached with pleas for help to clean up the treatment of animals (et.al.) in this town. He has refused to help in any capacity. He has accused the known animal advocates in town of being crazy - 'to not listen to their absurd claims'. Their lives have been threatened if they continue to 'stir the pot' with stories of abuse, fighting, torture, puppy mills, and the 'Butchers'.

Punxsutawney Phil failed to see his shadow on this Groundhog Day 2013. According to folklore, no shadow for Phil means an early spring. If Phil had seen his shadow, it would have meant six more weeks of winter.
It was 7:25 a.m.on this Saturday morning that Phil looked for his shadow in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The skies were overcast, and temperatures hovered around 8 degrees. No shadow. Early spring!
Ah, Groundhog Day. This U.S. and Canadian tradition comes every year on February 2. It has its roots in astronomy, in the sense that it's a seasonal festival, tied to the movement of Earth around the sun. In the U.S. and Canada, we call it Groundhog Day – a great excuse to go outside and enjoy some revelry during the winter months.
Two stars in Scorpius were Pawnee version of Groundhog Day
We all know the rules of Groundhog Day. On February 2, a groundhog is said to forecast weather by looking for his shadow. If it's sunny out, and he sees it, we're in for six more weeks of winter. On the other hand, a cloudy Groundhog Day is supposed to forecast an early spring.
Of course, it can't be cloudy, or sunny, everywhere. And many towns in the U.S. and Canada have their own local groundhogs and local traditions for Groundhog Day. But by far the most famous of the February 2 shadow-seeking groundhogs is still Punxsutawney Phil. He's in Punxsutawney, in western Pennsylvania, which calls itself the "original home of the great weather prognosticator, His Majesty, the Punxsutawney Groundhog."
Since 1887, members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club have held public celebrations of Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney is where Bill Murray was in the movie Groundhog Day. From the looks of things … a good time is had by all.
What you might not know is that Groundhog Day is really an astronomical holiday. It's an event that takes place in Earth's orbit around the sun, as we move between the solstices and equinoxes. In other words, Groundhog Day falls more or less midway between the December solstice and the March equinox. Each cross-quarter day is actually a collection of dates, and various traditions celebrate various holidays at this time. February 2 is the year's first cross-quarter day.
Of course, the division of the year into segments is common to many cultures. Our ancestors were more aware of the sun's movements across the sky than we are, since their plantings and harvests depended on it.
In the ancient Celtic calendar, the year is also divided into quarter days (equinoxes and solstices) and cross-quarter days on a great neopagan wheel of the year. Thus, just as February 2 is marked by the celebration of Candlemas by some Christians, such as the Roman Catholics, in contemporary paganism, this day is called Imbolc and is considered a traditional time for initiations.
The celebration of Groundhog Day came to America along with immigrants from Great Britain and Germany. The tradition can be traced to early Christians in Europe, when a hedgehog was said to look for his shadow on Candlemas Day.
Try this old English rhyme: If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, winter will have another flight. But if it be dark with clouds and rain, winter is gone and will not come again.
Or here's another old saying: Half your wood and half your hay, you should have on Candlemas Day.
In Germany it used to be said: A shepherd would rather see a wolf enter his stable on Candlemas Day than see the sun shine. There, a badger was said to watch for his shadow.
A friend on Facebook said that, in Portugal, people have a poem about February 2 related to the Lady of Candles. Here is the poem: Quando a Senhora das Candeias está a rir está o inverno para vir, quando está a chorar está o inverno a acabar. Here is the translation: If she smiles (Sun) the winter is yet to come, if she cries (Rain) the winter is over.
One final note. It's supposed to be bad luck to leave your Christmas decorations up after Groundhog Day.
The National Geographic Society once studied the groundhog and found him right only one out of every three times. But what the heck? It's all in good fun. So whether you celebrate with a real groundhog and a real shadow – or just pause a moment on this day to reflect on the passing of the seasons – happy Groundhog Day 2013!
Bottom line: Punxsutawney Phil failed to see his shadow on this Groundhog Day 2013. According to the legend of Groundhog Day, that means we'll have an early spring. It was 7:25 a.m.on this Saturday morning, February 2, that Phil looked for his shadow in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The skies were overcast, and temperatures hovered around 8 degrees. No shadow. Early spring!

A new study finds one of the strongest links yet between obesity in older women and cancer the findings published in the journal cancer research show.
Women who lose at least 5% of their body weight can see a dramatic reduction.
And the sort of inflammation.
Related to several types of cancer let's bring in now doctor Don -- -- And and doctor you are -- particular practitioner and an author of eat this and live.
But this is about eating a little bit less tell me what impresses you about this particular study.
Well interesting study found that overweight and obese postmenopausal.
Women were much more likely.
It -- to develop -- -- it developed cancer but if they simply would decrease their calorie intake.
God then they reduce the risk of cancer went out what was centrist think.
Is if they had the calories down to 12100 to 2000 calories a day they significantly decrease the risk of cancer by like ten excuse me about.
We know it's interesting too because this is not about losing a ton of weight -- if you make that kind of adjustment 2000 calories and still quite a bit to eat.
How are absolutely 2000 calories is -- get that with lots of vegetables fruits -- -- and it fits in lower in the sugar.
Our contest but Harris was so excited about this study there were four groups of these postmenopausal women the first group simply lowered their calorie intake.
And the second group just exercise 225 minutes a week.
The third group used those decrease calorie intake and exercise and the fourth where it was a control -- no change.
The exciting thing is the first and third group.
Lowered their body fat by ten and -- give me eight and 10%.
But they decrease -- inflammatory markers by 36 and forty wow percent.
Not inflammation is -- linked to heart disease and cancer.
And so this study shows that just a little bit a weight loss.
Lowers your risk of -- lowers his inflammatory markers lowers your risk of cancer.
But the exercise alone group did lower the inflammatory markers or lower the -- significantly.
Now why is that.
Well that's interest -- because for some -- exercise alone.
Will not lower these markers or lower the body weight significantly the key is -- the body weight.
Just say we've known that CRP is this main inflammatory marker and CRP is primarily produced by belly fatter visceral fat.
When you reduce body fat especially the belly area you're reducing inflammation and reducing chronic disease like cancer and cardiovascular disease.
All right before I let you go I wanna talk about inflammation 'cause I wanna make it clear this isn't the same thing is when you -- your telling your -- swells up.
Right exactly say there's they're good side of information about -- the good side of inflammation as you get a sore throat and mobilize your immune system.
Or you have an ankle swollen and it also helps to split the entry.
Chronic inflammation with elevated CRP.
Set yourself up for heart disease.
Cardiovascular disease cancer -- alzheimer's disease and other inflammatory states simply bought unremitting.
-- in elevations of nuclear factor kappa beta.
That -- these inflammatory chemicals that constrict arteries and cause disease.
Now those are a lot of big words that you and I were talking off camera very simply it's the stuff you can't see.
And the study points out that if you just lose a little bit away and do a little bit of exercise you can make a huge difference the last fifteen seconds to you doctor.
Right because they -- this study is simply just a small amount I'm talking about five to 10% which is only about ten to twenty pounds.
There's this powerfully decrease in chronic inflammation -- are the reducing syrupy by as much is 41%.
And that's more than most medicines can do so just a little bit -- -- portend a twenty pounds.
That's the key -- -- -- more than most medicines can do -- doctor -- thank you so much for joining us.
