We got this holiday rather cheap, I wouldn't pay silly money to stay here! The food was only luke warm and salad day in day out. The hotel is in a brilliant location but could do with a revamp and money being spent on it! The hotel is 5mins away from bar street and all the shops, we ate out... More

Question by Sunny Beaches 6130 · Apr 05 '12 at 08:28 PM · paleo-diet egg-yolks yum what-do-you-eat
I kept reading about raw/runny egg yolks added to a cooked meal and decided to try it today.I normally hard-boil my eggs or scramble them up with something. I used to be afraid of raw eggs but read on this forum that it is really the uncooked egg white that was the problem. I decided that hey, PH has awesome people and I should try this out.
I had some leftover grass-fed beef cooked with some eggplant (random, I know...but it was on sale!) and greens. I heated it up with one egg white. After it was done cooking, I threw the raw egg yolk in, mixed it a little...and it is AMAZING. How was I living before this?
So, what's something you didn't eat or drink pre-paleo but have since discovered and love?
Edit: and now my stomach hurts a little but that might also be because I decided to heat up more just so I could experience the raw egg magic again. But I'm done now, ha ha.

I used to absolutely hate anything coconut. Now my kitchen is filled with coconut oil, coconut cream, coconut flakes, etc... It's funny because I think it's replaced my obsession with almonds. The other day my husband asked why I haven't been eating almond butter anymore ha.

Meat. No one would believe I was a fruitarian as I down 2 lbs of steak/ 10 oz prime ribs and lobster tails.
Answer by Marcy 1 4387 · Apr 05 '12 at 08:43 PM
I think I avoided a lot of red meat and anything that wasn't a neat little baked chicken breast or cute steamed white fish filet because I thought for some reason it wasn't feminine to eat "messy meat" or anything fatty. I don't know how to explain it, but now when I hear all my lady friends say they just don't like red meat, I have to wonder if they really don't or if we've been brainwashed into thinking that a girl who eats a burger is less feminine.
My boyfriend, who I have converted to primal, says that nothing makes him happier than watching me gnaw on a lamb bone. I have to agree.

Mussels! I can live off those things. They're delicious.
Answer by Jenny 9 127 · Apr 05 '12 at 09:21 PM
I get so excited when my broth is so thick I can use a fork to pull it out of the container. I make "muhahahaha" noises and just coat the backs of spoons with it to see how beautiful and shiny it is. I used to make pretty good broth back in normal-food-days, but now it is my favorite thing ever. I am happy just thinking about it.
I used to like oysters a bit- I thought they were okay, we had them a lot when I was little so I was pretty used to them off the BBQ, but they were never my favourite. I would have picked lots of things to eat before oysters. Now they are my new PMS food- I can destroy 2 dozen oysters for a snack. I asked for a raw oyster feast for my birthday this year, with seaweed salad on the side. Opposite of birthday pizza.
Answer by Kation 417 · Apr 06 '12 at 04:08 PM
I used to be "meh" about red meat, I ate it a couple of times a year. Now I crave it.
Answer by Jaych 1185 · Apr 05 '12 at 08:38 PM
I swear to God that I used to hate bacon. The flavor, the texture, the smell, everything about it. When my husband and I switched to paleo, he started making bacon for breakfast a couple of times a week and, as we progressed, I got more and more interested in it. One day, I asked if I could have a little nibble from his plate. One taste and I promptly lost my mind over it. How did I go through 25 years despising these little slabs of porky, fatty heaven? I have so much to make up for. So much lost time...
So. That's my answer. Haha.

DEP Home : Water : Monitoring in Montgomery County
For questions about monitoring in Montgomery County, contact DEP:

The water monitoring program is the cornerstone of the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) entire watershed program. Water quality monitoring includes:
Stream monitoring supports water resource management in the County in many ways:
Return to Top
Streams are often at the receiving end of rainfall (stormwater) runoff from land surfaces and local stormwater drain-pipe systems. Stormwater pollution, as well as sewage from leaky sewer lines and contamination from landfills, can shock a stream system for a brief period. But if these influences are persistent and repeated, they can degrade streams and the aquatic habitat for insects, fish, stream salamanders, and other biological communities.
Water monitoring identifies where pollution is degrading stream conditions and helps DEP to prioritize its watershed restoration efforts. Learn how you can help protect our watersheds.
All County watersheds are monitored in detail once every 5 years according to a defined schedule. The map below illustrates the 5-year rotational biological monitoring schedule. The streams in SPAs are monitored every year.
In 2010 DEP is monitoring the following watersheds for its Baseline Monitoring Program, in addition to all SPAs:

Cork Cuff
Filed under: Jewelry
We already knew that cork was getting fashionable, and we've seen it in both handbags and shoes, but one area we never expected to see it was jewelry. This is because the new technologies developed for processing cork have been focus on making it more like fabric or leather and less like... cork. This Cork Cuff makes no bones about its origin. Each piece is carved from a single block of cork is made from recycled product. The cork blocks are individually numbered and included in the purchase of the cuff for storage and/or display. The cuffs come in one size only, but are flexible (not to mention water repellent) and will fit most men's and women's wrists. Price: $48.

Cameramen fight after Broncos-Patriots game
The fireworks weren't confined to four quarters and overtime during last night's epic Brady-Manning Broncos-Patriots game. (That's right, there were actually other players on the field besides the two quarterbacks!) As Peyton Manning was walking off the field, vanquished yet again in Foxboro, the NBC cameras followed him straight into two photographers. Apparently one didn't appreciate his personal space being occupied because he throws a left jab at his compatriot. Those cameramen can be a feisty, territorial bunch.
Who would have thought we'd be at the end of November and a solitary cameraman would be putting up more of a fight than the entire Houston Texans roster?

There are currently 850 Neighbourhood Watch schemes/coordinators in Warwick district.
Neighbourhood Watch is the largest community safety organisation in the country. It is a partnership between the Police, Community Safety departments of local authorities, other voluntary organisations and individuals and families who want to make their neighbourhoods better places to live.
Warwick District Council works closely with Mid Warwickshire Neighbourhood Watch (MWNHW) to make communities feel safer. Formal meetings are quarterly and in December a bid to the Community Action Against Crime Fund was approved.
Whilst that bid was unsuccessful Birmingham University have agreed to work with MWNHW to explore what makes some streets and neighbours to work together and others not. The study will look at best practice and new technologies in order to identify the best way to engage with people. the bulk of the work will be done from June to August 2012 with a final report due in early September.MWNHW has participated in a number of Action Days with partners from the District Council, Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire County Council. Most recently vehicle owners parking at Station Approach in Leamington were advised about security and late night shoppers were presented with a Christmas Menu raising awareness of acquisitive crime.Warwickshire Police recognise the importance of Neighbourhood Watch and sends regular alert messages to coordinators. The watch message archive can be found on the Safer Neighbourhoods website.

Shinya Aoki tells why he turned down UFC contract
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter1 day agoShinya Aoki is perhaps the world's most dynamic submission fighter and one of the best MMA fighters that Asia has produced in the past ten years. The Japanese Jiu Jitsu ace is still relatively unknown in the United States, however, because he's almost exclusively fought in Asia.
For that reason, many of Aoki's state-side fans were likely disappointed when it was announced that the champion had turned down a contract offer from the UFC and decided to stay fighting in the OneFC promotion.
Cagewriter sat down with Aoki, who fights next on New Year's Eve, in Tokyo on Thursday afternoon and discussed a host of topics, including his decision to turn down the UFC. In the end, Aoki says that he didn't feel the need to leave a promotion that has taken care of him and where he still has goals he wants to accomplish inside of.
"OneFC has taken care of me," Aoki said.
"They've treated me well. I know the fighters there and I'm comfortable in OneFC. I think I have more to gain from fighting there."
Fighter & special ed teacher vies for championship Saturday in Tokyo at Glory 13
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter1 day agoKick boxer "Bazooka" Joe Valtellini has had a busier year than most fighters in 2013, and he's about to see more action this Saturday in Tokyo. The Canadian fighter has fought and won three times this year already and, if things go his way, will fight and win twice more Saturday night at the Glory World Series kickboxing event to earn their welterweight tournament title.
As hectic as his fight schedule has been, Valtellini's professional kick boxing career isn't even his only job. By day, the Toronto area fighter is a special education gym teacher.
Pulling this type of double duty comes natural to the son of Sicilian immigrants.
"I'm from an old-fashioned Italian family, " Valtellini says.
"My parents always taught me to work hard and always be working. So, doing both things just made sense to me."
Though Valtellini is a work horse and made sure to get a college degree and job after school, his particular career choice of teaching also speaks to a free spirit.
"It's a very important thing in my life to not let my job dictate the rest of my life," he explains.
Chael Sonnen reportedly had colon surgery before fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 167
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter1 day agoChael Sonnen and Canadian television show host Michael Landsberg have had a weird, mutually beneficial relationship over the past few years. Once, Sonnen stormed off the set when he apparently didn't like Landsberg's questions.
Now, the TSN reports that in a new interview with Sonnen, Landsberg revealed that a source told him that the fighter had undergone colon surgery before fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 167 last month. Sonnen would not explicitly confirm that he did indeed have surgery but did say that "It's a little bit of a surprise that you had that information."
Sonnen, who lost in the first round via TKO to Evans, explained why he wouldn't elaborate.
"When I sign a contract to fight, I'm agreeing to fight a guy on a certain day at a certain time and in a certain venue," he said.
"It's my job to feel good when I go out and do it and if I don't that may play a hand in the fight."
Ronda Rousey: I'm happy for Miesha Tate
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days agoUFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey next defends her title Dec. 28 at UFC 168 against rival and opposing TUF coach Miesha Tate in a rematch of their 2012 Strikeforce bout. Rousey and Tate's dislike of one another has been well-documented, including Tate's boyfriend/manager/coach Bryan Caraway threatening to knock Rousey's teeth in, Rousey's coach Edmond Tarverdyan threatening to do pretty much the same to Caraway and lots and lots of middle fingers drawn by Rousey and pointed at Tate.
That's why fans might be surprised to learn that Rousey's feelings about the rivalry with Tate include more than just animosity. She's actually happy for the attention that Tate's increased star brings all women in MMA.
"It's not like my dislike for her outweighs how much I care for women's MMA," Rousey said this week on a media conference call.
Retired UFC fighter Julie Kedzie becomes matchmaker for InvictaFC
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days agoWomen's MMA pioneer Julie Kedzie retired after a close decision loss to Bethe Correia at UFC Fight Night 33 earlier this month but she'll stay involved in the sport as the new matchmaker of the all-female MMA promotion, Invicta FC.
"I'm very happy to announce that I've been in talks with [Invicta president] Shannon Knapp and I'm going to be Invicta FC's new matchmaker," Kedzie recently told MMA Fighting.
"I'm going to be taking on the role as matchmaker of the company, going to work hoping to help developing the careers of other female fighters. Bring them up to the sports, get them the attention they deserve and hopefully promote the sport a little bit on the sidelines now and have a role where I can help people. Face to face, get them what they need...I'm really excited about it. I'm terrified, but excited."
Johny Hendricks: My world doesn't revolve around Georges St. Pierre
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days agoWe didn't know it at the time, but then-UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Johny Hendricks met one another at UFC 167 last month at polar opposite points in their career. If that fact didn't become clear through the fight - one in which Hendricks controlled and did the most damage but which was ultimately awarded to St. Pierre through a controversial split decision - it certainly has become obvious through their respective comments since their bout.
St. Pierre told the world immediately after his win over Hendricks that he needed time away from the sport. Last week GSP reiterated that sentiment and vacated his championship.
After about ten years in the UFC and most of that time spent as a champion, St. Pierre is burned out and described the weight on his shoulders as too much for him at this point in his life. Hendricks, on the other hand, is eager to have that weight and a target on his back.
"I want the target on my back," he told MMA Fighting this week.
Dana White: Nick Diaz turned down rematch with Carlos Condit
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter4 days agoNick Diaz has not fought since March, when he lost a one-sided decision to Georges St. Pierre in their UFC welterweight championship fight. Before that, he'd sat out during a drug suspension after losing a close decision to Carlos Condit for the interim welterweight title.
Still, last night in Sacramento, UFC president Dana White was willing to give Diaz another shot to be within reach of UFC gold when he offered the exciting fighter what would likely have been a number one contender's bout - a rematch with Condit.
"What I was going to do was, I was trying to make Carlos Condit vs. Nick Diaz. But he said he doesn't want it," White told assembled media Saturday night after the UFC on Fox 9 event had concluded.
"You know Nick. I thought that he wanted the rematch."
White would go on to say that Diaz told him he might consider coming back and fighting again in May.
Urijah Faber submits Michael McDonald at UFC on Fox 9
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter5 days agoFormer WEC featherweight champion Uriah Faber made another definitive move up the featherweight ladder Saturday night by choking out top prospect Michael McDonald in the second round. Faber won the first round against his much younger opponent with a take down and by landing a few more strikes on the feet.
In the second round, Faber brought on the beginning of the end for McDonald with over hand right hands. The first over hand punch from Faber wobbled McDonald but the top prospect hung tough until Faber landed another one that sent the young fighter reeling backwards.
"The California Kid" sprinted after McDonald, swinging hard and, finally, simply pushing him to the ground. From there, Faber opted to forgo strikes on the ground and instead went for and ultimately sunk in a guillotine choke to force the tap out from McDonald.
Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz returns at UFC 169 to take on interim title holder Renan Barao in a unification fight. Cruz has not fought for about two years.
The champion was set to fight Faber for a third time before injuring his ACL. A subsequent re-injury kept Cruz out of action for even longer.
Joe Lauzon & Chad Mendes win UFC main card fights
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter5 days agoThe UFC's most exciting fighter, Joe Lauzon, snapped a two-fight losing streak Saturday night on the UFC on Fox 9 card. Lauzon used take downs, submission attempts in each round and bloodying strikes on the ground from on top to earn a unanimous decision win over Mac Danzig in the main card's opening bout.
Scores were 30-27 across the board for Lauzon, who entered the Octagon tied with long time middleweight champion Anderson Silva for most fight night awards in UFC history. The win was the lightweight's 10th in the UFC.
The TUF winner Danzig has now lost three fights in a row.
Chad Mendes wins fifth straight
Chad Mendes looked to be on his way to a history-making fifth straight KO win early on in his fight against Nick Lentz, landing with thudding right and left punches to his opponent's head. Lentz survived the initial onslaught, however, managing his own hard shots in the first and second round.
In between, Mendes was able to score take downs at will on Lentz through two rounds. Lentz opened the third round pushing the pace on Mendes, with solid body kicks and punches to the head while switching stances.
Celebrity Head-to-Head: Kenny Florian on UFC on Fox 9
Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter5 days agoIn this edition of Celebrity Head-to-Head, retired UFC fighter Kenny Florian and I take sides on three big fights on tonight's UFC on Fox 9 card. Read on to see if you agree with my picks or, if you're wrong and you agree with Florian's. For more of KenFlo, check out his FoxSports column.
Demetrious Johnson Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez
Kenny Florian: What separates Demetrious Johnson from everyone else is his ability to mix it up in a way very few people can do in the UFC. He's excellent in the clinch. And very good at mixing it up. You never know what he's going to throw at you.
Everyone talks about Johnson's speed, but I'm not sure that he's much faster than Benevidez. I think what will make the difference for Johnson is the variety of tools he has to use.
I think Johnson will be able cause confusion and through that confusion Johnson will get Benavidez to hesitate and that will allow the champ to open up in various ways.
One of those ways will be takedowns. Whoever wins the wrestling battle will probably win the fight.
I'm picking Johnson to win by decision.

I run on trails year around, in Vermont, and trail conditions are all over the place. These stay on perfectly and give you traction in any scenario that you can imagine that is realistic. Can they give you traction in 6" of fresh snow, no, but nothing can while running. These things PERFORM across the board.
Comments about YAKTRAX Run Traction Systems:
I run all the time in the woods with my dog. This winter the trail has been very icy. Since I bought my yaktraks I have been able to run every time I go to the woods. I don't feel any danger of slipping at all. I can run over any kind of surface. I love them!

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The ordeal of an eastern Ohio community roiled by allegations of rape against two high school football players is far from over, despite the teens' conviction for the crime and their sentence to juvenile prison terms.
The announcement of the verdict was barely an hour old Sunday when state Attorney General Mike DeWine said he was continuing his investigation and would consider charges against anyone who failed to speak up after the attack last summer, a group that could include other teens, parents, coaches and school officials.
A grand jury will meet in mid-April to consider evidence gathered by investigators from dozens of interviews, including with the football team's 27 coaches.

Missing snowmobiler survives brutal cold
For now, exactly how missing snowmobiler Craig Friebe survived two nights on the Nemadji River in Wisconsin with temperatures dropping to 15 degrees below zero both nights remains a mystery.By: By Mike Creger and Maria Lockwood/Duluth News Tribune, Superior Telegram, Superior Telegram
For now, exactly how missing snowmobiler Craig Friebe survived two nights on the Nemadji River in Wisconsin with temperatures dropping to 15 degrees below zero both nights remains a mystery.
Details on what can only be imagined as a harrowing adventure will have to wait as Friebe gets frostbite treatment at Miller-Dwan Burn Center in Duluth.
His brother, Bruce, said he visited Friebe late Monday afternoon and he was in intensive care at the center but in fair condition.
Bruce Friebe said he didn't know the details of Craig's experience in the cold as his brother was on pain medication and sedatives. Other family members told hospital officials that they didn't want to talk with the media about the search and rescue of Craig Friebe.
Friebe was found Monday morning in rural Douglas County southwest of Oliver. The last time he'd been seen was Saturday morning with ice anglers on Lake Superior, searchers said.
"Only someone with top-notch survival skills could have had a chance," said John Krull, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden.
"Usually, that's not a survival story," Superior Fire Department Battalion Chief Vern Johnson said.
"God spared him," Bruce Friebe said. "It wasn't his time."
Despite some obvious signs of frostbite, Friebe was a bit incoherent but talking when found by a Douglas County snow plow driver along County Highway W at the Nemadji River bridge at about 9 a.m. Monday. The plow driver saw him emerge from the bank below the bridge and sit down along the guardrail next to the road, according to a sheriff's department report. The Superior man had no hat or gloves on when he was found, according to Chief Deputy Jerry Moe with the sheriff's department, which is a sign of hypothermia. Friebe's hair was matted with brush, he was missing one of the lenses in his glasses and he said he couldn't feel his feet. His gloveless hands were red and swollen and the end of his nose was white. He told the deputy there was no feeling there either. He was sent to Essentia St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth and then Miller-Dwan in the afternoon.
The DNR and fire department were involved in the search, along with the Coast Guard, Douglas County Sheriff's Office, St. Louis County Rescue Squad and volunteers from town fire departments.
Friebe had last been seen near Loon's Foot Landing on Lake Superior in Superior's East End. Superior police said he spoke with some people Saturday morning there and said he intended to ride down the Nemadji River. The weather wasn't bad then. In the afternoon, Superior reached 24 degrees.
Friebe's wife, Becky, reported him missing and gave authorities some pictures Sunday morning. A search was then on. Overnight, the temperature had dipped to 15 below zero as a deep freeze expected to last into Tuesday began.
Krull said the "worst ATV trip I ever took" was down the Nemadji River on Sunday in bitter cold to look for Friebe, who is 51 and lives in Superior. Krull's search party found no signs of Friebe before open water on the river ended the search just a few miles from the Minnesota border, a trip of 34 river miles from Superior, Krull said.
Friebe was found near the bridge that is farthest west on the Wisconsin portion of the Nemadji, at the intersection of County Road W, 20 miles southwest of Superior.
Responders who came to Friebe's aid Monday morning said he was mostly incoherent. They reported that he said his snowmobile ran out of gas, and he then spent Saturday night by a fire he had built. He allegedly had no fire Sunday night.
Krull says he thinks Friebe ran out of gas somewhere in Minnesota on the river and walked back toward Wisconsin and the bridge he must have remembered going under. County Road W and the next bridge, Minnesota Highway 23, are about 10 miles apart, probably double that distance when traveling on the winding Nemadji River.
Why it took so long for Friebe to walk back and get near the road is puzzling, Krull said.
"He must have stayed somewhere," Krull said, "some kind of shelter."
Wind kicked up late Saturday, and wind-chill readings reached a deadly level.
The Nemadji River from the Minnesota border to outside of Superior runs through some remote areas. Krull called it "rugged" territory with few houses or cabins.
"There's nothing up in there," Johnson said. "If there's a jungle in the Northland, that's it."
Friebe isn't the only snowmobiler who spent more time than expected in the bitter cold. Two overdue snowmobilers were located Sunday in Voyageur's National Park after spending a night in an unheated boat house, according to the St. Louis County Sheriff's Department. The two Hibbing men had left the Ash River Trail area Saturday afternoon bound for the Crane Lake area and not returned home by late evening.
They became disoriented in the blowing and drifting snow and found refuge in the boathouse in Voyageur's National Park. One of the men suffered a minor back injury while trying to free his snowmobile from the ice.
Neither man required hospitalization.

The Exhibit
Download a map of Toyota Elephant Passage (PDF).
Imagine watching majestic Asian elephants care for their young, greater one-horned rhinos cooling off in a shallow stream, acrobatic gibbons swinging overhead from tree to tree, fishing cats diving for their next meal and the piercing stare of a clouded leopard, all from the center of an Asian village. And then imagine that you are right here in Denver! Toyota Elephant Passage is new home for some of the zoo's most beloved animals in addition to a number of important new species. Occupying 10-acres on the southern edge of the zoo, Toyota Elephant Passage's expansive complex will allow visitors to explore and discover the rich history of animals in Asian culture, their complicated relationship with humans and the efforts of Denver Zoo and its colleagues to protect their future.
Saving Animals
The magnificence of Asian elephants, greater one-horned rhinos and many other Asian species will inspire Denver Zoo visitors to understand and help save fragile ecosystems and the animals that rely on them. With nearly two million visitors each year, Denver Zoo's elephants and other animals will make a major impact on educating the public about the global efforts to save these endangered species.
Leadership in Animal Care
Denver Zoo is at the forefront of animal care, management and conservation. Toyota Elephant Passage will provide seven times the space of the current Pachyderm exhibit, creating one of the largest elephant habitats in North America. Asian elephants, Indian rhinos and Malayan tapirs will rotate among five unique habitats that will provide abundant space and varied terrain. This extra space will allow Denver Zoo to house a significant number of bull elephants and eventually become a breeding facility for elephants, rhinos and tapirs. New habitats will include exciting "upgrades" such as mud wallows, scratching trees, shade structures and plenty of water for swimming and bathing.
To support a national effort to create a sustainable Asian elephant breeding program, Toyota Elephant Passage will be the first facility in the country able to house a significant group of bull elephants. In the long-term, Toyota Elephant Passage will allow Denver Zoo to become an Asian elephant breeding center.
Thematic Habitats
Toyota Elephant Passage will be divided into three thematic habitats: Chang Pa Wildlife Preserve, Schoelzel Family Village and Village Outpost
Chang Pa Wildlife Preserve
As you walk through the Preserve, you will gain an understanding of how people manage animals in natural, protected habitats and you will be introduced to the overall exhibit theme of human/animal conflicts and relationships. Habitats in the Preserve will be seamless with no visible barriers between you and the animals. In fact, as you walk along the Preserve boardwalk to view elephants, rhinos and tapirs, you will see gibbons swinging directly overhead as they move between three island habitats.
Schoelzel Family Village
An Schoelzel Family Village will serve as the exhibit hub, providing you with opportunities to understand and appreciate the diverse array of Asian animals and their complex relationships with human populations. You will learn about innovative projects where local people and conservationists have partnered to create unique, practical solutions to conservation problems and challenges.
Village Outpost
As you walk into the Outpost, you will enter a rural village struggling to co-exist with elephants. The damaged huts and crops will convey a profound message about the damage that elephants can do to local residents' livelihoods. Through the actual stories of Denver Zoo conservation/biology research staff who work with elephants and native peoples in Sumatra, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, you will learn about the strategies being used in Asia to promote and ensure coexistence between human and animal populations.

The Daily App: GasBuddy For Android, Blackberry, iOS
9:00 AM EST Wed. Nov. 07, 2012
Finding gas usually has one stipulation -- which gas station has the cheapest gas. However, with post-Hurricane Sandy, most people on the East Coast have a different agenda: finding an open gas station. That's where today's Daily App comes in handy. GasBuddy for Android, Blackberry and iOS is a free gas finder app that not only lists the closest and lowest-priced gas stations but also helps weed out the closed ones.
GasBuddy's like named developers, based out of Brooklyn Park, Minn., created the app so that the public could report and find gas prices based on their GPS location or city/zip/postal code. What makes GasBuddy a reliable tool is that each gas price entry is time stamped, and there's also a comment section, where gas station updates such as how long the lines are or whether or not the station is open can be indicated by the public; those who are searching can see the time stamps to decide whether or not that gas station is worth going to.
GasBuddy has one main button: Simply tap "Find Gas Near Me" to see the list of gas stations in the surrounding area. The search can be customized by area, type of gas, distance and price. There's also a map that shows gas stations based on GPS location.
The GasBuddy.com website offers the same features and also has Facebook and Twitter integration so users can share comments and updates on available gas stations and wait times.

Amazing Geometric Uni-Brow/Eye by Carsten Witte
I've seen people connecting their crease line with their lash line, but have you seen anyone connect their eye liner to their brow?
The amazing thing is that this actually looks good because it follows the same sort of structure and shape of a winged eye. You'd think people would have thought of doing this for futuristic movies by now, but this is the first I've seen of it.
Love looking at it, although you won't find me wearing this to the next party!
(If you're trying, stick with gel liner for that inky creamy look.)

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill that will close a loophole that allowed dangerously mentally ill people to admit themselves for treatment, then quickly check out and buy a gun.
The legislation was one of the most significant gun bills to pass this year's legislative session and was supported by Democrats, Republicans and the National Rifle Association. The measure was one of 47 bills Scott signed, including bills that will outlaw the dyeing of bunnies and chicks, and give citizens the right to speak at government meetings.
The gun bill addresses people who doctors say pose a danger to themselves or others. Their names will be put into databases to prevent them from buying guns.
If the patient doesn't agree to be voluntarily admitted for treatment, an involuntary commitment petition would be filed. Patients who voluntarily committed themselves would do so with the understanding that they would be barred from purchasing firearms.
If patients refused to give up their gun-purchasing rights, the involuntary commitment process would proceed.
The bill includes a pathway for people to petition the court to regain their gun-purchasing rights after they are treated. A doctor would have to agree that the person should regain the right.
Among other bills Scott signed is a measure that will guarantee citizens' rights to speak at government meetings. The bill allows governments to set time limits on public comment and exempts some meetings of an emergency or purely ceremonial nature.
Another bill creates a public records exemption for the names of law enforcement officers' spouses and children.
He also signed a bill that prohibits the sale or giving away of artificially colored bunnies, chicks and ducklings. Scott last year signed a bill to rescind a 45-year-old animal dyeing ban last year after groomers told lawmakers they wanted to dye their show dogs.
The ban had been put into place to prevent people from buying the colored animals during Easter. The animals often would be released afterward and die.
Violators could face a year in jail. It will be a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison to possess personal information from more than five people.

The Under $10 Wine Team
Store shelves seem to be lined with large selections of wine at and around $10. The challenge at that price point is getting a wine that provides more interest than grape flavored alcohol, thin fruit taste, poor aroma, or big woody oak to hide inferior quality juice. With beer, it's pretty safe to assume that most light beers have certain flavors. The majority of main line beer has distinct tastes that register in our memory. With so many wine labels on the shelves, selecting one can be pretty hit and miss.
I believe the $10 price point is pretty status quo for the daily drinking wino on a budget and the occasional wine sipper. Therefore it is important to have a list of trustworthy labels that can be counted on to deliver.
The Under $10 Wine Team
In early 2010 I began the mission of fielding a team of wine players that could score at parties, hit it out of the park for value, and be trusted to step to the plate in most any situation. The rules were that each wine had to be purchased for $10 or less (sales, club discounts, bulk discounts were considered). Wines showed up to spring training and specially scheduled tryouts to show their stuff for the coaches. Each was vying for a coveted spot on the 12 man roster of 9 starters and 3 reserves. While legal issues (state distribution) kept us from trying out every player referred to us, we made every effort to select players who are widely available. After reviewing the scouting reports and film, I am pleased to reveal the 2010 "Under $10 Wine Team." I've included the coach's summary, roster position, and stats for each player. Links to the full scouting report are included for your reference. Many of these players' tryouts were filmed. Enjoy the footage and make a note of the jersey (label) so you can get an autograph next time you are in the store.

All Star Break The Final Under $10 Tryout
Why tryouts? Why under $10? In my opinion, this is the most volatile price range for quality. It is also a common price range that non wine snobs shop in. The need for quality trusted wines under $10 is there. While 40+ wines have tried out for the team, most have struck out and been sent back to the minor leagues. Soon, you'll have a team of nine starters and three alternates that you can bring to the table without fear!
Prior to opening day, I made my pre-season predictions regarding the MLB season.
AL Predictions / Current Standings
- East: Prediction Red Sox / Actual: Yankees (but there is still hope)
- Central: Prediction Twins / Actual White Sox (Twins 3.5 games out)
- West: Prediction Texas / Actual Texas
- Wild Card: Prediction Mariners / Actual Tampa Bay (sadly Mariners have cashed in their chips)
NL Predictions / Current Standings
- East: Prediction Florida Marlins / Actual: Braves (Marlins 10 games out)
- Central: Prediction St Louis / Actual: Cincinnati (Cardinals in the hunt)
- West: Prediction Arizona Diamondbacks / Actual: San Diego Padres (Diamondbacks one of the worst teams in baseball)
- Wildcard: Prediction Phillies / Actual: Dodgers (but Phillies are in the hunt)
The Final Tryouts
2008 Waterbrook Melange Blanc
- The Stuff: 30% Riesling, 20% Gewürztraminer, 15% Viognier, 10% Sauv Blanc, 10% Chardonnay, 10$ Pinot Gris, 5% Muscat; 4000 cases made; 12.2%ABV; 1.4% residual sugar
- The Swirl: Very light pale, nearly clear with a hint of beautiful honey highlights
- The Sniff: Taken by surprise with the abundant perfume, sweet honey, peach and lychee fruit. A fantastic aroma that keeps you coming back for one more sniff before you sip.
- The Sip: Not knowing the blend, I would have pegged this for a Riesling. The distinctive Riesling / Gewurz flavors come through but are contrasted with a nice mouth coating of the Chardonnay and the floral components to the Viognier. The wine is amazingly complex for the price point and delivers great off dry sweetness balanced by medium acidity.
- The Score: At only $15 retail, this is an amazing value. I love the nice subtle honey flavors that balance well with the wet stone minerality. I score this wine a solid 3+/5
Sadly the Waterbrook Melange was disqualified from the Under $10 Team for being overpriced. At the time of tryouts, it was assumed that this wine could be purchased for $10. Upon further investigation the officials have declared Melange Blanc intelligible for consideration.
- The Stuff: 100% Malbec from Mendozza Argentina; 6 months in new French oak, 14.2%ABV
- The Swirl: Beautiful rich purple with hints of bright amethyst around the edges. Light seems to dance off the glass.
- The Sniff: Hints of woody evergreen that make way for bright red fruits and subtle spice. Slightly under-ripe red fruit comes out as well.
- The Sip: Great big gobs of red berry wash across your tongue and give way to subtle blueberry undertones. The mid-palate is a little fleeting but the back end structure is no push over. Medium body and good finish make this a very pleasant value.
- The Score: At $10, I would buy this wine again. Perfect burger or pizza wine. The wine presents enough layers of flavor to be mistaken for twice the price. Easily score this wine a 3/5
2008 J.Lohr Estate Syrah $10
- The Stuff: 93% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah, 3% Grenache, 1% other red; Paso Robles AVA; 14 months in 25% new French and American oak; 13.4%ABV
- The Swirl: Cloudy deep purple color that presents about 80% opaque.
- The Sniff: Aromas of boysenberry, toasted almonds, and dark red fruit on the nose. Very aromatic and full with subtle notes of campfire.
- The Sip: Medium bodied Syrah that is slightly thin on the front but opens up nicely to dark red fruit, hints of smoke and a beautiful long velvet finish. An easy sipping Syrah that will have you wanting more.
- The Score: Retail is $15 but I scored this wine for only $10. At that price this well balanced, nicely flavored Syrah scores a 3+/5 and will be a definite re-buy.

Three Zin Under Ten
Red wine goes great with grilling! Burgers, dogs, sausage, steak…most of the common summertime grilling treats are screaming for big full bodied red wine. Do you want to break out your 78' Cabernet or 100 year old vine Zinfandel when the wine will probably end up in a red plastic cup? Life may be too short to drink bad wine, but there are times when good value wine is needed! We can't drink $175 bottles of Opus One every night can we?
These are the wines for you. Three Zin, under Ten ($10). They won't break the bank, but are they drinkable? To explore the value in the "all American varietal," we venture to the place where the grape gained prominence…California. With 10% of California's crop planted to Zinfandel (sadly most used for sugary sweet White Zinfandel), the big bold red grape can provide powerful fruit and a sassy spice that work well for BBQ (and pizza).
The NectarView
- The Stuff: 100% Zinfandel from various California vineyards; aged in new and used American, French and Hungarian oak barrels for 10 months; 14.3%ABV; 23,000 cases produced
- The Swirl: A presentation of plum colored cola with browning occurring toward the edges.
- The Sniff: Semi-sour raspberry aromas laced with hints of lavender and cloves
- The Sip: The XYZin has some moderately complex layers of flavor that open up nicely to include a dark strawberry, baking spice and cocoa. Reminiscent of a canned strawberry pie filling with hints of sour berry. Good finish with a lingering flavor of pepper spice and nutmeg.
- The Score: Retail on this wine is $16 for the newer vintages, picked up the 06 for $10 at a local wine store. At that price the XYZin is good value that competes well with other value priced Zinfandel from Cline, Dancing Bull, and Seven Deadly Zins. 3/5

2008 BOHO Vineyards Octavin 3L Zinfandel
- The Stuff: Wine maker David George showcases his 100% California Zinfandel in a ready to drink now 3L Octavin Home Wine Bar. The wine is said to stay fresh for up to six weeks in the patent pending bladder; 13.5% ABV; 20,000 cases produced.
- The Swirl: Dark inky plum color that is about 80% opaque. Wine seems thin in viscosity and has watery edges.
- The Sniff: Very restrained nose with subtle aroma of dried cherry
- The Sip: A somewhat thin presentation of dark berry fruits on the palate. The mouth feel seems round without being flabby. A single dimension wine that is neither off nor dynamic. Lacking in layers of fruit but balanced in flavor and finish.
- The Score: Coming in at $6 per "bottle" the BOHO is certainly a drinkable wine when in need of a larger quantity. If you're headed camping, having a wedding, or throwing a party, the BOHO Zin would do well to satisfy the average wine drinker. 3-/5
A review on JenniferReview.com – It's an Octo-box!
- The Stuff: 78% Zinfandel, 8% Primitivo, 7% Merlot and 7% Petite Sirah from Mendocino and Lake County; Aged 10 months in 15% new oak (combination of American, French and Hungarian); 13.8%ABV
- The Swirl: Medium dark plum with slight brightness of cherries. The wine is about 60% opaque
- The Sniff: Medium aromas of blueberry and cocoa are initially present with a mild presentation of black pepper
- The Sip: The Dynamite Zinfandel is new world jam flavors of blackberry and dark cherry fruits. A subtle woody evergreen tree pokes through that reminds me of Christmas. This wine has a good firm grip on the back end and would hold up well to a BBQ steak or spicy burger.
- The Score: At $10, the Dynamite Zin is a fair value but doesn't hold up as well against other California Zin in this price range. 3-/5

Episode #91 Southern Hemi Sauv Blanc
Some wines just scream summer! The crisp citrus acidity seems to be the perfect pairing for warm weather. Sauvignon Blanc is also a great pairing for light salads, chicken, shellfish and dishes that feature ingredients like bell peppers, olives or spinach. If pairing a Sauvignon Blanc with food, do your best to match the acidity levels with your ingredients (high acid pairs with high acid) and avoid rich creamy buttery dishes (as a rule of thumb).
The three Sauvignon Blanc featured in today's post are from the southern hemisphere and grow in hot climates with cool evenings that help produce some stronger acidity in the wine. A Sauvignon Blanc that lacks in acidity can often come across as being overly tart on the back of your mouth. The new en vogue Sauvignon Blanc region is Marlborough New Zealand where super crisp, grassy, mineral focused flavors are being displayed. Price points on Sauvignon Blanc tend to range from $10-$20. Great daily sippers can be found for under $10.
The NectarView
2009 Valdivieso Sauvignon Blanc
Update: This wine was previously reviewed as part of the Wines of Chile tasting in May 2010. There was some concern of bottle variation among the reviewers and the winemaker graciously agreed to send out an additional sample. Note: The bottle label is different than the previous one received.
- The Stuff: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Leyda Valley; 13.5%abv, wild fermentation with no added yeast. Barrel aged in large French oak for 6 months; cork
- The Swirl: Yellow apple color with hints of pale green
- The Sniff: A dramatic departure from the traditional citrus Sauv Blanc. Strong aromas of herbs and a sweet sherry are present. Mild hints of ammonia and green pepper are on the nose as well.
- The Sip: A wild funk of flavorliciousness and a wild Sauvignon Blanc. This is not your grapefruit pucker sucker. I kept being drawn in by the odd herbs and spice but wouldn't suggest this to folks who are looking for a crisp boat wine.
- The Score: At $22, this is an out of character Sauv Blanc. I give it a score of 3 out of 5. The flavor may be different than what you would expect from a Sauvignon Blanc but the wine is balanced and doesn't trick you into thinking it's something it isn't.
2009 Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc (Octavin)
- The Stuff: Comes in a 3L (equivalent to 4 bottles) Octavin container with a collapsible bladder. 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Stainless Steel fermented; 13% ABV
- The Swirl: Very light, resembles a lemon colored water
- The Sniff: A good power of grapefruit and a hint of herbaciousness. A strong steely minerality also attacks the nose and not in a good way.
- The Sip: The wine has a good mouth feel and is moderately awake with flavors of grapefruit and lemon zest. Slightly one dimensional and the wine lacks any acidity or notable finish
- The Score: No off flavors here and for the equivalent of $5 per bottle, this is definitely a trusty wine to have at a party or out at the cabin. Can give it a value score of 3 out of 5. Average flavors but above average value.
Reviewed by Josh Sweeney of Wine Explored here (6/10)
Cellar Tracker Scores: 85.8 (four scores)
2008 Brancott 'B' Sauvignon Blanc
- The Stuff: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand; Stainless Steel fermented with only free run juice; 13.2%ABV; Screwcap enclosure
- The Swirl: Subdued honey or wheat color
- The Sniff: Elegant aromas of grapefruit, dirty martini and layers of grass and spice
- The Sip: Fantastic mouth feel with a gentle whisp of grapefruit that is equally matched by stone fruit and river rock. Well balanced acidity keep this wine from feeling tart on the mouth and provides a good medium finish
- The Score: At $25 this is a perfect Sauvignon Blanc to pair well with a good dinner or to impress at a party. I score this wine 4 out of 5.
The Brancott 'B' Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant pairing of grapefruit, stone fruit and minerals. A wonderful balance helps this wine feel great in the mouth and provides a crisp stone finish. 4/5

Duck Hunt and Duck Duck Pond
You remember that game you played as a kid, duck duck goose? Some of you may have played it with your four year old just the other night. This wine review has nothing to do with that game, but it did come to mind when I received the wine for review. The other thing that I think of when I look at Duck Pond Cellars label is that old Nintendo game, Duck Hunt. Could be the ducks on the label, but I wanted to get out the grey plastic pistol and fire away.
Duck Pond Cellars is located in Dundee, Oregon. I previously reviewed their 2007 Red Blend (which was a crazy value) and their 2007 Syrah (which wasn't a personal favorite). One thing is sure, Duck Pond is shooting for some crazy values that are way more than child's play (see how I brought back the two references from earlier, nice eh).
For this review, I decided the wine needed to make the 400 mile trek back to Oregon. The ducks longed to fly in their native land, so I packed them along during our Memorial Day weekend trip to Portland. The Oregon/Washington connection is strong with Duck Pond as all the grapes used for these wines were sourced from sister winery/vineyard Desert Wind in the Wahluke Slope AVA. Just like real ducks, these grapes fly south at harvest to prepare for their fermentation and storage.
The NectarView
2007 Duck Pond Cellars Chardonnay
- The Stuff: 95% Chardonnay, 4% Semillon, and 1% Gewurtraminer that was fermented in 90% stainless steel and 10% in barrel (4 months in new French and American); Partial malolactic fermentation; 15% abv; 19,665 cases produced; all Desert Wind Vineyard fruit
- The Swirl: Great golden yellow tone with a slight creamy quality
- The Sniff: An abundance of tropical flower and fruit with a good amount of heat as well.
- The Sip: Good rich mouth-feel without feeling flabby and fat. I really appreciate the fruit components of pear and pineapple along with other topical flavors. Everything is going well for this duck until the finish which is slightly stinging due to the alcohol.
- The Score: At only $10, this is a crazy value because the wine has some great aroma, flavor, acidity and minerality. The only misfortune is the heat on the finish. Pair this wine with food to compensate for the alcohol (preferably something sweet or rich). I score it a 3 out of 5.
Cellar Tracker score of 84 with four reviews
- The Stuff: 89% Merlot and 11% Cab Franc from Desert Wind Vineyard; Aged 14 months in 20% French and 80% American oak barrels; 14.5% abv; 12,721 cases produced
- The Swirl: Deep rich purple color with about 70% opacity. Slightly watered down at the edges.
- The Sniff: Good strong components of dark berries, leather, and wood. The American oak is prevalent but not attacking. Nice to get a good nose at this price point
- The Sip: The fruit flavors are fun and rich but they don't hang and play very long. They fly the next and make way for a pleasant velvet milk chocolate mid palate with a better than average structure on the back end.
- The Score: At $10, this is a definite recommend. The wine is pleasing, and although slightly over oaked, it has some very nice fruit flavors and aroma that will make a good value drinking experience. I score this wine a 3+ out of 5
The 2005 Duck Pond Cellars Merlot doesn't have any formal reviews on Cellar Tracker. It makes a strong showing to be considered for the Under $10 Value Team, but will have to ride the bench due to tough competition from Charles Smith's Velvet Devil.
2007 Duck Pond Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
- The Stuff: 85% Cabernet, 8% Merlot and 7% Syrah from Desert Wind and Sacagawea Vineyards; aged in a combination of French and American oak; 14.5%ABV; 5824 cases produced.
- The Swirl: A thick muddy jammy purple that reminds me of a dark stormy sunset. The wine is about 90% opaque.
- The Sniff: Dark berry, gamey meat aromas, leather and stone. The nose is intriguing and throws me off from a traditional Cabernet, not in a bad way.
- The Sip: The mouth feel of the wine is a slight disappointment from the nose. The fruit elements are not strong and the expected spice and depth is not there. The wine is not off in flavor but only provides glimpses of what it could be. I would liken this to being the little brother who only played little league where the big kids moved on to the pros.
- The Score: While there is nothing off putting about the wine and it would make a great addition to any table to be paired with summer grillin' or light pasta, I score it a 3 (out of 5) because of the lack of anything that stands out. Only $12 retail.

Jaymi and Andy, December 2010

Shadow - Dead Riot - DVD
A supernaturally-charged serial killer rises from his prison grave to seek out the sacrifice that eluded him in life in Hong Kong cinematographer-turned-director Derek Wan's exploitive mash-up of women's prison films and zombie gut-munchers. As a child, Solitare (Carla Greene) managed to escape being sacrificed to Satan by the fearsome maniac Shadow (Tony Todd), but as an adult she may not be so lucky. Incarcerated in the very same prison where the devil-worshipping killer met his ultimate fate years earlier, Solitare is forced to fight her way through the prison ranks and earn her top-dog status among the hardened female inmates. Defeating her human opponents will be nothing compared to the challenge Solitare faces when Shadow returns from the dead to stake his claim on the soul that he was denied in life, though, and as an undead army rises from the earth to assist Shadow in his evil bidding, Solitare will find that it takes more than muscle and fighting skills to defeat an opponent with the power of ultimate evil on his side. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Actually, the Doctor has been framed for the killing by his old nemesis, the Master (Peter Pratt). Complicating matters is the ancient Time Lord edict that all political prisoners be set free upon the inauguration of a new President -- and the efforts by the Master to prolong his own existence with the aid of Gallifrey's sacred Eye of Harmony. Written by Robert Holmes, "The Deadly Assassin, Episode 2" first aired on November 6, 1976. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Doctor Who: The Deadly Assassin, Episode 4 In the conclusion of the four-part story "The Deadly Assassin," the Doctor (Tom Baker) has successfully proven that the Master (Peter Pratt) was behind the assassination of the President of Gallifrey.

International Spies - 4 Film Favorites
Includes - Spies Like Us (1985), MPAA Rating: PG Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Spies Like Us Director John Landis helmed this Cold War farce starring Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase as Austin Millbarge and Emmett Fitz-Hume -- two loser misfits who dwell in the lower ranks of the Central Intelligence Agency. Convinced despite much evidence to the contrary that they're prime secret agent material, both men keep taking service exams in an effort to win promotion. Caught cheating on their latest round of tests, Austin and Emmett expect to be fired but are instead made full field agents and ushered into intense training. Little do they know that it's all a ruse and that they're about to be dumped in Pakistan to throw Russian spies off the scent of two real agents with an important clandestine assignment. A spoof of the "road" pictures popularized by Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, the film features a cameo by the latter as his golf-playing self. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery Less a parody of the early James Bond film than a parody of the films that parodied the early James Bond films, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery stars Mike Myers as Austin Powers, by day a hipster fashion photographer in mid-'60s swingin' London and by night a crime-fighting secret agent. Austin's wardrobe is pure Carnaby Street at its most outrageous, his vocabulary is crowded by the cool lingo of the day ("Groovy, baby! Yeah!!"), and he's irresistible to women, despite the fact that he can be charitably described as "stocky" and has teeth that strike fear into any practicing dentist. When his nemesis, the arch-enemy Dr. Evil (also played by Myers), has himself cryogenically frozen and sent into space, Powers also has himself put on ice so he can be thawed out when Dr. Evil returns. Come 1997, Dr. Evil returns to Earth and is back to his old tricks, so Austin is thawed out and returned to active service -- though he soon discovers his style doesn't play so well 30 years on. The supporting cast includes Elizabeth Hurley as Austin's sidekick, Vanessa Kensington; Michael York as his boss, Basil Exposition; Robert Wagner as Dr. Evil's assistant, Number Two; and Seth Green as Dr. Evil's troubled son, Scott Evil. Ming Tea, the swingin' pop band that periodically backs up Austin, includes real life pop-rockers Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was a mild box-office hit but an even bigger success on home video, which led to the 1999 sequel, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me Austin Powers -- fashion photographer, denizen of Swingin' London, international espionage agent, and bane of dental hygienists everywhere -- returns in his second screen adventure. Powers (once again played by Mike Myers), a 1960s superspy stranded in the 1990s, discovers that his nemesis, criminal genius Dr. Evil (also Mike Myers), has somehow stolen his "mojo" (the secret to his otherwise inexplicable sex appeal) and traveled back in time to the 1960s as part of his latest fiendish scheme. Powers must also travel back in time to retrieve it, but if Austin doesn't quite fit into 1998, he's been there just long enough not to fit in in 1968 anymore, either. Powers also discovers that Dr. Evil has new allies this time: Mini-Me (Verne Troyer), a clone of Dr. Evil one-eighth his size but just as nasty; Fat Bastard (Myers yet again), whose name describes him just fine; and vixenish assassin Robin Swallows (Gia Carides). Powers' lack of mojo also proves troublesome when he's paired with his new partner, saucy CIA operative Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). Other characters returning from the first film include Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kensington, Robert Wagner as Number

I'll pick games on Thursday morning; please refrain from posting in this thread until 10:00 AM EST Thursday. I realize that not all of you want to be entered into the game giveaway, so I'm not going to use the full list from the WCG Challenge. If you want to enter for a game, you must post in this thread. Requirements are simple: you must be currently crunching for TPU's WCG team Game prizes will be drawn Friday night; I'm planning on closing the doors at 22:00 EST (10 PM for you 12hr folks) and drawing the games within an hour. If you're interested in a game or just seeing how this progresses, please subscribe to the thread and stay tuned for further details When you enter, please tell me what game you're most interested in! (games will be chosen before entries open) Someone is forgetful (me ), but the games are: AMD Never Settle Promo Hitman Absolution Deus Ex. Human Revolution Left4Dead 2 post which game you're interested in, or just say "In" if you don't care. Winning a game does not disqualify you from future prizes
What did the instructions in the OP say about posting here before Thursday? :shadedshu I'll make sure to include that game and you'll be entered for it
I hope im not entering too early (sorry if I am), but I gotta hop of the interwebs for a week due to an IAPS assignment =(. I cant math today so I have no cue what time 10AM EST is here in Toronto...also I can't figure out how to work the timezone conversion things. Hoping to enter for the AMD never settle bundle =D EDIT: Derp, just remember Toronto is EST... and its currently 10pm on Thursday (Edit of the edit: no wait.. its wednesday -_-)=D
:shadedshu I pity you and your comprehension of time p). You are entering early, however, do to your IAPS assignment, this is acceptable. You'll be entered for the Never Settle bundle
It's 12 hours before Friday in my country now, and i will be going to Bali for weekend holiday while my PC crunching alone, so may i post and enter now? i would like to enter for the AMD Never settle if thats ok.
I think it would be better to just select and post the first ~5 titles that are to be given away instead and have the interested people post to enter. I think doing it as described in the first post lacks a level of transparency, for lack of better words.
Unless I've had a bout of dyslexia, you haven't stated whether or not a win here means exclusion from further WCG prizes.
This giveaway and any others announced is/are separate from the hardware prize drawing at the close of the challenge I'm in- but for what game? I'll edit my post when the games are announced *** EDIT- I'm in for Dues Ex. Human Revolution ***

ReClaim Loose Fit Jean 1 1
Need to Size up I bought these jeans for my boyfriend for Christmas. I chose these because they're a looser fit and they aren't too elaborate. Although we both liked the color and style of the jeans, they run very small. I bought him his usual size and assumed they would be just fine, especially since these are loose fit jeans. In the end I had to return them and opted to just get him a pair of his favorite Levis. I would recommend them as they are nice quality for the price, but I would suggest going up a size, if not two!
