So I think we were all having a good time, and my friend Linda was trying to teach us to belly dance, but then Kyle has to take over and do the splits and crawl on the ground and generally disrespect what Linda was there to do.
Taylor made a snide comment in her interview about how she thought the house was going to be bigger, which I thought was rude. The house is amazing and was once owned by famed photographer Herb Ritts -- which is enough to make it fabulous all by itself. The wine was flowing. We were all having fun, and then Taylor started to make a scene about how she was not OK and have an extremely loud, rude conversation right next to Dedra and Camille. Camille had told me she couldn't handle any drama that night, since she had a day of friction with Kelsey and the lawyers, and so I promised her things would be calm. Did D.D. go too far? Absolutely. But Taylor started it and Camille had done nothing wrong. Her best friend jumped to her defense because Camille wasn't emotionally ready to have this fight.
Omg felt for you!
I personally am getting sick of Taylors explosions they just go on and on...
You looked awesome in that dress don't keep trying to fit in you've gone above & beyond :)!!
Hope things are better with you and all the wives you seem like a very good person to have as a friend :)
Brandi i think u r great! don't change a thing about u. u c it like it is n tell it. we need more honesty in this world. too many phonies on this show n other shows. i thought u were a breath of fresh air. most of the ladies r out to lunch.
i would have kicked all of them out. do they remember that it was a friends house? take the trash out.
u rule n keep enjoying ur life!
It was your party and your responsibility to control your guests, which is what you did by asking Taylor (and, by default, Kyle) to leave. And I don't think that you were rude about it.
Kyle is the least gracious guest I have ever seen. I would never invite her to my home, even if she knocked on my door in the middle of night in the pouring rain.
No more alcohol at these parties.
Whatever you do, just keep being sweet to these ladies. Have you ever heard the saying, "don't argue with a fool, people may not know the difference?" Be cordial, but run for the hills (no pun intended). Kyle is extremely mean spirited (although now that the blogs are so clear in the viewers feelings about her, I'm sure she'll put on a whole different face next season). Regardless of what she does, just keep being nice and do not sink to her level of taking jabs or being critical; it won't be helpful. She was worse than Taylor at the beach party. Taylor obviously has some real issues, Kyle just has some real nastiness in her, what's her excuse? Your other two friends there seemed very sweet, hang with gals like that:)
The only ladies with any type of class on this program is Brandi, Adriane, and Camile. I actually liked Kyle and Lisa when this program aired, but it changed very quickly after watching the two-part episodes of "girls game night" and "adriane's spa day". Kyle and Kim were so mean and disrespectful to you, especially on game night. Kim is a complete whack-job and Kyle feeds right into it with her. Stay away from these three... they're nothing but trouble.
You are far smarter and much more attuned to the idosyncracies of these ladies, then any of them want to admit. Stop insulting yourself, and let these women either accept you for being you, or forget them!
I too hope you become a regular cast member, and think that you and Lisa will become closer, as Kyle's influence wears thin.
You are the most genuine person on all of the Real Houswewives series. I have been getting bored watching most of them, but you have been a great addition and have made watching these shows fun again. You give viewers what we are sorely missing: humor, honesty and intelligence.
The only thing I'm disappointed with is that the you did not include the bj classes at the party. What kind of uptight women do they have on these shows who don't want to learn a thing or two? I know I certainly would love to hear an expert's opinion on the matter!
Brandi, you rock! Has Kyle apologized to you yet for game night. She owes you an apology for nailing Kim in the the first encounter - now that she's in rehab, you have been vindicated for sure. Stay away from the crazies Kyle and Taylor. You are so real and they aren't. p.s. wasn't impressed with Jen while she was on sober house. she's a drama queen too. be careful.
Brandy I really hope you let the comments about Taylor just roll of your shoulders. The chick is a complete whack job. She has put everyone through hell, I do have a soft spot for women of domestic abuse. There has to be other things going on. I'm over it, she needs to stay off tv. Anyways! LOL I loved your dress, who the heck cares about nipples anymore, as far as your comment about Kyles husband talk about insecure!!! I would want to be married to a man if I thought a damn comment was going to spin him around into a player. Hold your head up high woman!!! I think your great!!!
You , Camille & Adrienne are my favorite's....kyle always needs attention, Liza can't even move her lips when she talks, low class british, Kim is a whack and so is Big fish lips Taylor.... Very rude of Taylor to insult the former house of Herb Ritts, Does she know him by the way?....She can't even afford to have her own house now, Taylor needs to attend a house of class & ettiquette...Oh by the way, She needs to take her "spoiled brat" daughter along with her too......
A green laser light how rude, what is wrong with kyle she is such a mean woman.tayler was out of controll she needed to be put in a straight jacket.hope she is off the show next year and replace with you,glad you didnt invite butt kisser dana --and kim the comment she made about you not excisting and the cheetos priceless..and that house was bitchen what a wounderful freind to loan it to you.
I have never posted before either,but I gotta' agree with "I always thought this show would stay my hidden guilty pleasure, but I absolutely must comment here... Never in a million years did I think Brandi and Camille would be my favorites (naturally Lisa is up there, but that is a given). Taylor needs to get off of the TV." and of course add my own .02
Brandi, after what you have been through, for Kyle to suggest that you would hit on someone else's husband is just ignorant. I've 'bout had it with Kyle this season. Although she seemed to be a breath of "common sense" air last season, this season she seems to be operating in full on bitch mode. I have three boys, and if one of mine had peed on a bush, I would have laughed too. Kyle's condescension about the lack of manners was ridiculous. Even Adrienne seemed as if she wanted to tell Kyle to shut up about it. Yes, mommy's of girls don't quite get this, but hey, if you have boys, it's all in a day. I would be glad it was the bush and not the pool too!
As far as your party....why the hell didn't Taylor just stay the frick home?? Oh wait, I know, because she is a friggin' drama queen. I'm sure her life was less than awesome right then, but there was no excuse for that screamin' scarecrow mess of a performance. She is the constant victim and wants to blame everyone except those who are responsible. Camille didn't do anything wrong.
Stay true Brandi, you are a breath of fresh air.
When a guest is overbearingly rude & decides that your venue is perfect for her "breakdown" or whatever, you have every right to tell her to GO. Kyle should have kept her mouth shut and taken Taylor out to the car immediately. How would she have liked that at her party! Oh wait a minute... she kicked out a woman who acted rude at her own "white" party! I didn't think I'd like you because I don't like a potty mouth, but you've shown real character and dare I say it, class. Kyle has not shown the same qualities this season.
brandi :)
you are hot, young and savvy - in my opinion... all their comments and snide remarks are because they are jealous deep down inside... but won't admit it... i love it that you are on the show and it's making them all CRAZY. stay true to yourself! xoxox
I hope you are a full time housewife next season! Very down to Earth. Enjoy watching you. Dana...not so much.
Brandi - Hang in there. You seem like such a "real person" and you have tried so hard to fit into the group. I used to be a big Kyle fan but her treatment of you this year has made me start to dislike her. You were right to ask Taylor to hit the bricks. She is a whole mess of crazy and that was going no where but down. Poor Camille just said what everyone already knew and tried to call her out on her sham and you were put in the bad spot of hosting the party. Keep being real and ignore the mean girls. Karma...
You were totally wrong. DD started and escalated this fight and Camille did nothing to stop her friend . Taylor is very fragile, and DD kept egging her on..she should have minded her own business. You should have asked DD and Camille to leave or ended the party for all at the same time.
Team Brandi. It's official.
Why can't women just accept that acting like school girls is only okay for..well..school girls? When menopause is knocking on your door, it's time to stop behaving like a pouting brat *coughkimcough*. Forget the "filter" Adrienne seems to think you're lacking; the Richards sisters' behaviour makes you look like an Oxford graduate in comparison. The most disappointing person, however, would be Camille: for someone who claims to relate and empathize, she sure is spineless. For the sake of own redemption, she should have fiercely defended you but instead she tucked her tail between the legs, thankful that she is no longer the target. Don't bother keeping up with the many faces of each housewife. Best of luck to them keeping up with you.
At first, I didn't really care for you and Kyle was my favorite from the Housewives of Beverly Hills, but so far, I'm starting to dislike her. She really is mean and always makes mean remarks about you. I'm starting to like you more and I'm glad you are standing your ground. Don't worry about fitting in with these "ladies." Just be yourself.
I think you did 100% the right thing at the party. You did the right thing by asking Taylor to leve she was unraveling and escalating. It also seemed pretty obvious from the getgo that Taylor went there with an agenda and wanted to fight.
In my opinion Kyle is a mean girl and Paul had it right when he mentioned jealously from especially Kyle when you first appeared this season. Your nipples weren't showing at her fundraiser and she was caddy then. I thought Kyle and Kim's behavior at Dana's behavior was appalling and cruel. I used to feel sorry for Kim because she had a sister like Kyle, this season totally changed my opinion. Kyle always has to be the center of attention whether she is doing a split in the middle of your party or in the middle of Pandora's engagement party on a table.
The only thing I don't like about you Brandi and it hurts me when you do it.... please don't call yourself a slut or a whore it is hurtful for me to hear you say that about yourself and no matter who you are it has to be hurtful to you. Frankly you deserve more loving behavior and comments about yourself. I understand that it is a defense mechanism it just hurts me and makes me sad for you. I don't care what you have done in your life a woman never deserves to be called that. There are younger women out there watching, I don't care that the nips were showing you weren't in a group of couples trying to steal someone's man.
Have faith and be yourself.
I think you did the right thing by asking Taylor to leave. She was over dramatic and stirring up problems with everyone. She put this upon herself by making snide comments first.
Brandi I feel bad for you. You had no idea the emotional craziness you were coming into. Nobody really realized what mess Taylor was in until after this season was taped. Seriously she was a mess that night and there was no way for you to know any backstory to that histeria. Don't wince too much when you watch yourself... this looks like a rough season ahead and you came in smiling looking for fun. I am rooting for you!
Brandi, while I admit to not being a fan of yours since the beginning because of your comments and actions. This time I think you tried to do the right thing and have a good nite with the other ladies. I think that Adrienne should have warned you about the problems between Camille and Taylor and how bad it was so that you could have asked one or the other not to come or ask both to ensure NO problems were brought up. But she only glossed over it during the meeting she had with you. You tried to have a good time with the other women and Kyle's immature comments about you and actions with the laser just were unnecessary. She needs to learn how to say things to get others to laugh with her instead of her laughing at someone. Your party looked great and you did everything to ensure the ladies would all have a good time but Taylor had to ingore the fact she was at a party and become snarky and actually the center of attention. D.D. did as any good freind would and tried to get Taylor to stop the comments and try being nice/talk to Camille. Even Kly let you down... she knew the state Taylor was in but failed to watch over her to keep the fireworks from starting. She also should have to you so that the intake of alcohol was watched as well. Taylor was itching for a confrontation and had it. Her crying was fake.. no tears during or after. Her anger was real and she really had no one to blame but herself. As for not inviting Dana... don't blame you, she didn't put a stop to the crap at the party at her house and let you undergo the crap... she should have told you AND Kim and Kyle to either knock it off or leave. But she just let the show go on. Taylor owes you a big apology!!!!
Brandi, I just started watching the show and love it. I think you had every right to throw Taylor out. She is going thru something but won't admit and blaming Camille is not the right way to deal with it. To me Kyle is the mean girl bully. Talk behind Taylor's back and then acts like she is a good friend and wrong to come in your house to only insult you. Can't stand her
You bash Kyle and Taylor for talking about 'backup' before the party and say they shouldn't have come. Yet, Camille and Dede had the exact same conversation before the party in the limo but you have no anger toward them and do not suggest that they should have stayed home. About Mauricio, it's not classy to talk about another woman's husbands 'hotness', whether it's a compliment or not. And, your dress wasn't 'slightly sheer', it was completely see-through. And, that dress, no bra combo was you begging to be the center of attention. Finally, Kyle was dancing and having fun at a dance party. It was absurd for you to get annoyed by that.
You poor lady.All that drama.I would of kicked her out. Loved your dress. Kyle I would rather look at Brandi's dress than to constantly watch you do the splits.
Even though I feel for every abused victim, that does not excuse Taylor's behavior. All was very easy to avoid, makes you wonder if she's exploiting her sad situation for fame and money. Dont want your secret known, dont go under the public eye Dont want to place yourself in danger or make situations worse, dont do a reality tv Dont want see or interact with certain people, decline invitations Dont want drama, dont make snide comments Dont want discuss issues, just walk away Dont want to loose control, dont drink And the list can go on and on...and seems since RHOBH started she is always in middle of all controversy but then act as vicitm. And even though I symphatize with her horrible situation, I dont with her way of using it or handling it
You were a class act at the belly dancing party! You handled yourself well. You did the right thing telling Taylor to leave. She clearly needs help. I love that you're on the show!
Hey Brandi, kudos to you for even trying to get in with this group. Wise words I was told when I was a teen: "When you are beautiful, you will always have people who are jealous of you". You cannot win when people are jealous: you're prettier and younger than the rest, so only the secure will be able to befriend you. Be yourself and if people like you they do, if they don't: leave them behind.
Dana is insecure and needs to do some self-psycho-analysis to get some spine and character then sucking up to the other women/bragging will be unimportant to her.
One word of caution: you are an emotional person, so impulsive, unfiltered things fly out of your mouth without thought. Just stop and think before you speak a little. Be secure and you will be loved. I think most people can see that you are a good person and have a good heart. Those who cannot can go to h*ll. Chin up girl, be confident and stay true! You are needed on this show.
Don't forget that Kyle split a bottle of wine with Taylor in the limo on the ride down to Malibu so they were toasted before they even got to your party. That was a recipe for disaster, given what everyone knew was going on in Taylor's life, and also that she was starving herself, and has reacted badly to alcohol other times on the show. Taylor should have enough self-awareness not to drink when she is distraught by now. Kyle should behave more responsibly. You don't give alcohol to someone who can't handle it. (You'd think her experiences with certain family members would have taught her that by now.)
You have come a long way, Brandi. I think the Ladies' behavior was horrible. You were right to ask Taylor to leave. She needed to regroup and she had Kyle to care for her. Speaking of Kyle I just do not think you get her humor. She was joking about her husband. I really think she was honored by your compliments and that is her way of acknowledging them.
Brandi - so sorry you have been treated so badly by these ladies. Kyle is a mean girl and everyone knows it. I can't imagine how she would like it if everyone made fun of her behind her back and to her face like she does you.
You were absolutely appropriate in asking Taylor to leave. I think Taylor tried to cause drama in every episode just to insure that she would appear in every episode. Have you every noticed how most of the time she acts like she is crying but then we see no real tears? She acts all upset then makes a joke or has a long conversation with Paul at Lisa's gate where her primary concern is bashing Lisa and talking about her facial injections.
Stand tall girl not everyone is mean or stupid. Lisa had the wrong impression of you at first because you were reported to have been close friends with Cedric but Lisa is decent and realized she was being unfair and has admitted. If you are waiting for the same from Kyle, forget it, it is never going to happen. She will act like she is okay with you and then slice you to pieces behind your back - steer clear girl and hang in there.
I live in a conservative city and I am generally regarded as a bit of a Miss Manners. You were a great hostess and asked the appropriate party to leave. As far as your "nips" go you were at a private party with ladies only. I realize cameras change it a bit...However, I only see jealousy with Kyle's remarks. Take note, less alcohol in the future. I hope you are made a cast member. Kim's ugly blouse and Cheeto nibbles are not terribly interesting or inspiring. I also believe that your friendship with Adrienne speaks volumes about how cool you both are.
Brandi- I think you are the most real person on the show. Kyle gets on my nerves with her "I know it all" attitude, her sister is a hot mess & she knows it. The party was nice, D.D did go over board but it was clear that Kyle & Taylor were going with intentions to start drama. I think these "ladies" with the exception of Camille & Adrienne are just jealous that you are younger & prettier than they are. Keep being you! :)
Hi Brandi - I really hope they make you a regular on the show, you are so nice and fun and much more down to earth than the others. Clearly Taylor is insane and should def be bounced off the show. I don't understand why the girls can never just have a good time when they go out!!! All they want to do is put down other people and fight, it's like just go out and have some fun already!!! You seem like a really nice person and I hope everyone can stop fighting!!

Brandi I actually really like you. You are nice and not fake at all. Everyone I know feels the same. Just do you girl
I was SO glad you had the balls to kick Taylor out! I've wondered on more than one occasion of Taylor behaving like this at someone else's home or event, why no one has ever asked her to leave (Camille's mountain house, Lisa's Tea Party). That woman is a trainwreck and while sad to behold, it's still not an excuse to make an enormous scene at someone else's home. She should have left on her own the moment things got heated with Camille's friend. Kyle should have gotten her out of there, frankly. I question Kyle's friendship with Taylor. It's odd that such an in-your-face-tell-people-their-lives kind of chick like her can't sit Taylor down and tell her to get it together!! As far as you fitting in? Please don't. You and Adrienne are the most real people on this show!!
also, you and your friends are all hotter than any of the girls on this show! real, sexy, supportive women!
Love you Brandi! Hate LA with a passion. There's a special place in H__l for cheaters. Boy, it will be crowded that's for sure! Keep being yourself. p.s. You're beautiful!
Brandi I know it must have been difficult for you watching the footage, but you did the right thing by sending Taylor home. She was the core of the toxic situation and when you remove the core, the air becomes fresh again. I understand now why she reacted this way and behaved that way, but in the moment you did the best you could do to diffuse it, and I agree with your decision. I honestly do love Kyle, but she really needs to stop attacking you. The two of you seem very funny and very charming; you two would be a dynamic duo if kyle would let her guard down and just get to know you. Stay who you are, and keep plugging away. The ladies tried to shut out Camille lasxt season and that worked itself out; stick it out, and they'll eventually let you in. God bless you!
Lol I love the lady in the gold, "You are all embarrassing yourselves by being out of control. We are an evolved species." She's so chill! And Brandi- You go! I don't care what Kyle says. SHE slapped YOUR hand. Not the other way around. And if there was some middle aged woman acting nutty at one of her parties, I'm sure she would have flipped. She seems like the type who would flip out if napkin holders were missing... I mean seriously. You were completely right in asking her to leave. That diffused the situation much better than all of the yelling and screaming and crying... It's ironic how you are the youngest in the group- and yet, you seemed to show more maturity than anyone else there. Way to go girl
Watch the show again. Taylor kept saying I don't want to talk to Camille now and De De kept pushing her to talk to Camille. Then Taylor agreed to talk to Camille ALONE outside.....she said this over and over but no one listened to Taylor and EVERYONE was in Taylor's face saying "you need to talk to Camille". Then she got kicked out of the party.
How would you react when 10 women corner you and say you have to talk to a friend that you were in a fight with. This is exactly what her husband did to bully her into what he wanted. Taylor had no breathing room.
What do you do when you are upset and want to collect yourself...normally people want to leave a room....Taylor was not given that opportunity.
My husband watched the show with me for a few minutes and then said (looking at Brandi), "What is she doing on the show? She seems normal." Exactly. Normal, genuine, sweet, and beautiful. Stay just the way you are, and please stay on the show.
Simple, honest, to the point, and all true. You did the right thing.. and considering it wasn't YOUR home.. it was the SUPER right thing to do.. Kyle did also, by being her friend and taking her out of there, getting her safely home... Well said.. Brandi. well said.
If you asked me I would tell you that I think Taylor whould kiss your feet when you threw her out. You actually stopped things from getting out of control both on and off camera. You saved her from further embarrassment. She should realize that.
Brandi you are such a breath of fresh air to the show. Last year I really like Kyle but she is turning my stomach with the way that she is acting this season. When she was flashing that laser at you to draw attention to the top of your gorgeous dress and the fact that you did not have a bra on was the last straw for me.....she sounded so evil when she was laughing. Just keep being the very nice person that you are!!!!

MSI posted a reveal trailer (yeah, we have those for graphics cards now) for its flagship GeForce GTX 780 Lightning graphics card. In addition to the highest factory-overclock among MSI's ranks (currently held by the GTX 780 Gaming Series), the card reportedly features redundant BIOS, and a feature that lifts various BIOS-level limits, protections, or fail-safes. If we understand this correctly, the GTX 780 Lightning should be among the first GK110-based graphics cards to feature over-voltage beyond NVIDIA's limits. Very little is known about the card's design, but given that MSI's new TwinFrozr IV cooling solution leaves GTX 780 Gaming Series with overclocking headroom, and runs cool enough, it wouldn't surprise us if MSI sticks to that cooler, albeit paint it yellow. As for the release date, MSI plans to launch the card on the 7th of August, 2013. The reveal trailer follows. Source: Expreview
I see what you did there with the date MSI. But that desperate attempt at getting a "0" for the 780 was just cheap... BUT! BIOS level limits, overvoltage? The biggest thing holding these monsters back is NVidias stupid voltage lock. If this raises the limit to at least 1.25, thats gonna be awesome. Damn shame the BIOS will never be available for reference 780's :shadedshu
I'm hopeful they beef up or amend the voltage circuitry otherwise it'll still be stuck to 1.21v (which is what some Titan owners get with modded BIOS). But if Nvidia let partners use higher volts and power then it will be very fast indeed.
They should have used this for the music on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM My MSI GTX560TI twin frozr oc has really good VRM's on it, 7+1 i think, and a nice big heatsink on them under the twin frozr cooler.
I was thinking of Thunder - The Prodigy As i read the headline, I was listening to the song in my head for a good 15 mins. Twin Frozr cards are generally awesome, I dont know sales figures, but I'd say they dont sell enough for what they offer.
The cooler on this card (thx Moonpig) is really very good, card does not crack 60c loaded, it has great VRM's, and the voltage can be tweaked, what more could you ask for in a video card. I wonder who makes the Twin Frozr coolers?
1.25 would be a bit of a shame considering reference is locked at 1.212v, I mean if MSI is going to piss on nvidias limitations then thet should just give 1.3v for air and 1.4v-1.5v for water. I would not be surprised if this comes at 1.25v and clocks poorly due to leaky chips which is understandable because the lightning is aimed to the ln2 crowd.
1.212v reference? On reference BIOS my limit is 1.2v. Some of the newer 780's have an even lower reference volt limit. The only 1.212v BIOS I know of is the custom OC 780 BIOS.
Grab this vbios and you'll be able to set it to 1.212V. It's weird, some cards can't go up to 1.212V unless you use a tweaked vbios. I don't like what Nvidia is recently doing regarding restrictions etc., it gets worse all the time.
Meh I'd rather use the engineering one, (which I currently use) because I actually like Boost 2.0 It makes no sense to have the card pegged at maximum clock even when it is not needed...
Well, depends on your preferences. I noticed that boost is sometimes downclocking when it should not, resulting in a noticeable fps drop. I don't think that when running 3d applications the clocks need to drop at all, I wonder where Nvidia got that idea... Yeah... never seen something like that.
Wondering if anyone would mind shooting me a PM with a link to the TITAN Engineering BIOS. I think I found it on hwbot but I just want to make sure it's the right one.
http://www.overclock.net/t/1381822/...r-with-980mhz-boost-on-store/20#post_19746100 Post 27. I recognise it as it has GK110XOC
$ with a 500$ price tag it would be a product worth considering. since i saw titan oced to 1600mhz, i wont probably be interested in buying. for a titan lightning on the other hand i would be willing to pay even full 800$. not more though.
Is this the one to get? I have an AMD HD 6900 series card and am looking to move up to drive my 1440P monitor, which is overclocked and stable at 110Hertz. Is this card the one to get when it comes out, or wait until later this year for price breaks?

NP Rank:
Tim Tebow and woman pulled over for supposed pot leaf sticker
About issues in the news:
Tim Tebow, who seems to be a nice guy but really is an awful quarterback, was going to speak at a church by ultra rightwing Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffres. Jeffress, known for his rampant homophobia and loathing of anyone who doesn't agree with him, also has stated that the election of President Obama is going to bring about the mythological anti-Christ.
People like Jeffress think this anti-Christ is necessary for the divine plan of his god, but then oppose the election of a president that would help bring it about? Look, it's not my silly mythology, but if you are going to believe in a plan, wouldn't you want the election of a president that would bring it about?
Jenny and Jessica Buntemeyer are a legally married couple in Iowa. They had a son who sadly was born dead. Well, the Iowa state Department of Public Health erased Jenny's name from their son's death certificate. The Iowa Attorney General's office refused to issue a certificate with Jenny's name, and it took a court challenge to do so. Thankfully they got a new updated certificate.
The U.S. Supreme Court has said that drug sniffing dogs don't require field tests (but only training tests) to determine probable cause for searches of cars. So in other words, if a dog is repeatedly wrong when it comes to searching for drugs in the real world, it does not matter.
Dogs equaling probable cause is basically something that has been taken as a matter of faith by the courts, but I am glad that at least there was a ruling by the highest court of the land on this issue, though not one I agree. By the way, various studies show how wrong these dogs have been.
In the state of Tennessee, police stopped a woman originally from Ohio, who had an Ohio State bumper sticker on her car. The sticker features a leaf from the Buckeye tree, which is also the nickname of Ohio State University, or "The Buckeyes. The cops told her they stopped her because someone else, maybe another cop, reported the car with a "marijuana leaf" on it. O.K, a couple of points.
No marijuana trafficker is dumb enough (I would imagine) to put attention on themselves by decorating their car with pot leaves. They don't want to draw the attention of the police. Second, even if she did, so what! There is a right to put a pot leaf symbol on your car! Marijuana, stupidly, is illegal. Symbols of marijuiana aren't illegal. Are some police really this stupid?
Advocating for legalization of marijuana is also legal, though some police have arrested individuals who engaged in their free speech rights to advocate for it being legalized. If a cop read this and didn't like what I wrote about marijuana, can he arrest me? Of course not. Even if I put up a giant pic of a marijuana plant next to the column. By the way, if you want to end the war on marijuana, please think about joining the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) or the Marijuana Policy Project.
Lastly, a word about the Derek Williams inquest, the man who died during police custody. Even after the police finished their internal review, why withhold the video from the public and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel? Seems like police in Milwaukee, like everywhere, care little about being accountable to the public and more about covering their own behinds.

Every January and February, in cities and towns across North America and a few in Europe, Ice Bowls are held to raise money for charities, most of which help fight hunger. The 232 Ice Bowl events in 2012 raised over $300,000. Since 1996, over $2 million have been raised via Ice Bowl® disc golf tournaments.
Last year's Kansas City Ice Bowl raised a total of $8,000, which was split equally between Harvesters and Bishop Sullivan Center. This year's goal is $10,000.
The 26th Annual KC Ice Bowl is produced by the Kansas City Flying Disc Club, and will once again feature casual competition, lunch, and fun.
Volunteers and Donations
Volunteers are needed to help the weekend of the event. If you are interested in helping out- even if it's just a few hours, please contact Ben Crosby. Phone: 785-393-1555 Email: email@example.com
We encourage the KC disc golf community to download and print the Pledge Sheet and ask your friends and family to help out by pledging money for each hole you play at Ice Bowl.
We also depend on donated prizes for the CTP Contest, such as new discs, clothing, gift certificates, or most anything that people might like to win. Bring donations to the Ice Bowl, to Disc Golf World, or to Ben Crosby.
Pledge Sheet
The standard $16 entry includes a hot stamped commemorative DX disc, nested mini set, lunch on Sunday, and at least $8 to our charities. You may choose another disc for your entry disc by paying the upgrade charge listed on the registration form.
Registration available at Disc Golf World
The best way to sign up is to visit Disc Golf World because you can pick up your player's package disc and mini set, as well as purchasing clothing, other plastic, CTP tickets, and mulligans. All purchases enhance our charitable donations.
If you can't make it to DGW, you can call 816.471.3472 and register with a bank card. Or you can fill in your registration form and mail it, along with a check to 509 E 18th St, KCMO 64108. Or you could fill at an entry and then scan it with payment information to firstname.lastname@example.com. Or you can fax your entry to 816.471.4653. In these cases, you will pick up your schwag at the Ice Bowl, unless you want to stop by to pick it up earlier.

Can't Play This Year? Why Not Make a Donation?
CTP Tickets and Mulligans
A KC Ice Bowl tradition is the ongoing CTP (closest-to-the-pin) contest. Last year's top prize was a target. A person may only win one prize with the winner choosing first from the prize table. There might be a raffle this year as well. If this happens, your ticket can be used for either activities. Another tradition is the use of mulligans during the first round. All the money from these activities go directly to our charities.
When Are You Playing?
There is competition at the Ice Bowl, and even though it's not to be taken too seriously, we still want as many people as possible to play at least one round of golf on Saturday or Sunday morning. For those who want the chance to win something, the nine-hole "money" round is played Sunday afternoon. Players are ranked by their scores from the first round, which means you'll be very closely matched with the others on your card. You'll be told which nine holes you'll play. The player on each card with the best total score wins a DX disc. The person with the very best score is the Ice Bowl Champion and gets to keep the traveling trophy for one year.
Potluck Lunch and Chili Contest
One of the best traditions of the KC Ice Bowl is bringing food to share, especially chili, which automatically gets entered into the Chili Contest, which awards a grand prize. Is your chili the best?! Bring out a crock or 2 and let's find out. Contact Rhonda Crosby at 785-424-3672 for more information on the chili contest.
Entry fee will be $25 per player for any division. Includes: Golf, Disc, T-shirt and Lunch
This Tournament will consist of a 2 man Scramble. 1 Beginner and 1 Experienced player per team. Teams will be formed by a blind draw system.
Check-in will start at 8:30 am. A players meeting will be held at 9:30 am with play to follow immediately.
Players will sign up by division. We will have 2 divisions: Beginner, Experienced. Beginners division is for players that have never played or only played a few times or rec division. Experienced division is for players that have played more often.
After the round of Disc Golf is over we will travel to the lodge for lunch and Closest to The Pin contest. Trophies and CTP prizes will be awarded after the CTP Contest.

The 27th Annual Kansas City Ice Bowl will be held at Rosedale Park on Saturday, January 25 and Sunday, January 26. The KCFDC has set its charitable goal high this year—$10K for our historic beneficiaries: Bishop Sullivan Center's Saint James Place Food Pantry and Harvesters: the Community Food Network.
To give us a chance to reach this goal, please download the Sponsorship Form and the Pledge Sheet. The Sponsorship Form is four pages long: the first page describes the mission, pages two and three include the sponsorship options and a sponsor agreement, and page four offers a brief description of the KCFDC and of disc golf.
The various sponsorship options ask for both money (to go directly to the charities) and goods and services that we can use to trim operating expenses and provide prizes for the CTP contest and/or a raffle. Thus, there are sponsorships for printing, power (generator), heat, groceries, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, and a chili-contest prize. While our cause is a good one, most companies get many similar solicitations during the year. This means that we often get sponsorship, not from the sponsorship form per se, but from having a personal relationship with the potential sponsor. So, consider asking for gift certificates from restaurants and bars you patronize. Or perhaps you know the manager of your grocery store. The sponsorship form will help establish your credibility.
This will be the third year we've used the Pledge sheet, which has raised about $1600 the last two years. This is where you solicit smaller donations from your friends, co-workers, and families.

Aga Khan Academies
The conviction that home-grown intellectual leadership of exceptional calibre is the best driver of a society's destiny underpins the Ismaili Imamat's endeavour to create catalytic centres of educational excellence.
What's new
Televisao de Moçambique (TVM) report on Minister's visit to the Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa
Aga Khan Foundation to Build Education Academy
Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa inspires Central Asian youth while developing their potential
28-29 July 2009 - As part of the lead-in strategy for the AKA,Maputo, two one-day stakeholder workshops were held at the Institute for Teacher Training, Matola, on Tuesday July 28 and Wednesday July 29, 2009.
Mr. Lee Davis joins the AKA, Maputo
Mr. Lee Davis started as Director of Academic Planning and Development for AKA, Maputo on June 15th. Find out more
The Aga Khan Academies: Excellence in Education
In 2000, His Highness the Aga Khan initiated a programme for the establishment of an integrated network of schools, called Aga Khan Academies, dedicated to expanding access to education of an international standard of excellence and the development of educators to sustain this level of excellence. Read more
Situated on Africa's east coast, Maputo, the thriving capital of Mozambique, carries a rich vein of local history and culture, along with more recent influences from Portugal and the former Communist Bloc countries. It is here that the Mozambican Academy, to be known as AKA, Maputo, will be built.
The 21.8 hectare site, located in the district of Matola, approximately 20 km from Maputo city centre, was kindly donated by the Mozambican government. View Google map
Education Programme
The Academies' education model is built on the framework of the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, which strives to create a harmonious balance between academic demands, sporting and cultural activities, and community life.
The academic programme is intended to foster an ethical and public-minded approach and gives emphasis to the concepts of meritocracy, pluralism, and civil society. It is designed to enhance students' academic excellence, their sense of civic responsibility, their understanding of global issues, and their analytical and study skills. The programme reflects an understanding of and great sensitivity to the local languages, history, cultures and environment.
AKA, Maputo welcomes students to its residential campus from all regions of Mozambique and surrounding countries,. Admission is based on merit. Modelled on the first Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, the educational programme of the Academy is designed to foster home-grown, ethical leaders, who will go on to the best universities in the world, pursue careers of their choice, and build and lead institutions of civil society in their country and across the globe.
Find out more: The Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa
Spotlight on: The students, faculty, parents, and alumni of the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa
Since the site was acquired, extensive research has been completed to understand the country's education environment.
This research has helped AKA, Maputo to establish a broad foundation of knowledge about:
- Mozambique's development plans and human-resource capacity implications;
- The quality and typical career paths of the teaching body;
- Student demographics;
- University entrance requirements;
- The attitudes and expectations of parents and teachers towards education, including the proposed Aga Khan Academy itself.
Concurrent with these studies, unique elements of the Aga Khan Academies education have also been developed and are now being tested and refined. These include:
- Methods of identifying gifted and talented students;
- Admissions and financial aid processes;
- Efficacy in faculty selection and professional development processes;
- Curriculum planning and development;
- Innovations in learning space design.
In July 2009, an operating Professional Development Centre (PDC) was launched and the Director of Academic Planning and Development, Lee Davis, appointed. Mr. Davis, formerly at the International Baccalaureate Organisation in the UKleading the Online Learning programme, will be focusing on establishing AKA, Maputo's presence in Mozambique. He will also launch the Academy's outreach efforts through professional development programmes for educators at Government Schools.
Until such time as AKA, Maputo opens, the PDC will be located in a building at the nearby AKDN site in Matola. The building is currently being renovated and expected to open in early 2010.

Even if your thumb is as brown as can be, you can still have a pretty landscape with these easy-to-grow plant picks.
Photo: RDA GID
This fast-spreading, evergreen perennial makes an excellent groundcover with its masses of green, bronze or variegated foliage. Spires of blue flowers appear in late spring to early summer. Bugleweed may invade lawns, making it more suitable for areas surrounded by stones or other barriers.
Sweeping across the arid foothills and valleys west of the Sierra Nevada, a sea of golden-orange California poppies light up the scenic landscape each spring.
The tall nodding blooms are ideal in rock and cottage gardens, rather than in formal flowerbeds. No matter where you plant them, be ready to remove some of the spent flowers to limit reseeding so the plants don't take over.
This beautiful annual will attract birds and butterflies to your garden with its colorful, pinwheel-shaped blooms. Its feathery foliage also is attractive and creates an airy appearance. Cosmos thrives in a variety of conditions, making it a garden must-have.
Photo: Park Seed, www.parkseed.com
This garden favorite is cherished for its beauty, reliability, and variety. With more than 50,000 named cultivars, gardeners have almost limitless choices. Blossoms last just a day, but many hybrids flower repeatedly all summer long.
This hardy garden favorite is prized for adding texture and color to shady areas. Hostas form dense leafy clumps, with blossoms rising up to 3 feet above the foliage.
Thousands of named cultivars offer a wide array of leaf colors, shapes, and textures. While some hostas tolerate sun, those grown in partial shade generally produced the most handsome, longest-lasting foliage.
Hostas are virtually carefree plants. Their heavy foliage helps reduce weed growth and retain soil moisture, but hostas may need extra water during extremely hot weather to prevent scorching.
Reliable impatiens are shade-garden favorites throughout North America, quickly growing to fill in bare areas with undulating mounds of color. These useful landscape plants work equally well in borders, foundation beds and containers.
Once planted, impatiens need very little care. They bloom from spring to first frost, and unlike some other annuals, they require no deadheading to keep the flowers coming.
As its name suggests, the morning glory is most glorious during the early hours after its trumpet-shaped flowers open to greet the new day. But its beauty is fleeting; the blossoms last only one day, withering by mid-afternoon.
These easy-to-grow annuals are probably the most popular flowering vine in North America. They climb just about anything - fences, trellises, arbors, mailboxes, lampposts. This makes it the perfect plant to quickly hide unsightly views.
This cheerful garden annual thrives on neglect. Once nasturtiums are established, they perform best when left alone, and provide vibrant color from spring through frost.
Since they flourish in poor soil, over-watering or adding fertilizer can actually diminish their beauty. They are so resilient they can withstand severe pruning - some gardeners cut back the large veined leaves for a better view of the sweet-scented blooms.
There are many varieties to choose from, with some growing in compact mounds, and others climbing to 10 feet with the support of a trellis or fence.
It's hard not to smile when there's a patch of pansies in your backyard. These colorful flowers are best known for the "whiskered faces" that mark many of the blooms. The pattern makes it appear as if the flowers are grinning.
Pansies are part of the large flower family that includes violets and Johnny-jump-ups. They emerged in the early 1800s as the result of crossbreeding four different viola varieties to create the trademark face.
The plants produce a wide variety of brightly colored flowers surrounded by bushy leaves. Most are annuals, although some are biennials or short-lived perennials.
With their bright faces, there's something about sunflowers that make us feel good. And when it comes to kids, there are few plants that draw more "oohs" and "aahs" than these towering blooms!
Sunflower seeds are used for many things, but the most obvious, of course, is bird food! In fact, it's the seed of choice for many backyard songbirds.
The centers are made up of clusters of tiny, tubular, nectar-producing flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Shaughnessy Restaurant
Online Reservations
Special thank you to the staff & waiter who served us for lunch.
Always enjoy the experience at the Shaughnessy. Food, service, ambience is always consistently great. Thank you.
We enjoyed our lunch very much! The restaurant was busy but the service was still pretty fast! The food was presented beautifully, We will go back!
We went for lunch. Very relaxing, sat facing the garden, was warm and sunny perfect atmosphere for lunch date. The food was excellent but would have preferred more choice. Possibly dinner has more choices, did not ask. The service was excellent and attentive. Definitely would recommend and return myself. Perfect relaxing for a lunch date especially if you include the walk in the the Van Dusen Gardens after the meal.
The scallop and prawn quesadilla was outstanding and not over cooked. It was presented very well too. Service was quick and very pleasant.
Overall, a very pleasant experience for my partner's birthday dinner.
The food was good, service was good, the view was very nice and the atmsophere is good too. Lunch on the deck was a nice way to spend with family and friends on a Sunday.
Had a weekend brunch and enjoyed our food with great gusto ! Fresh baked blueberry scones for a start & coffee. The Seared Albacore Tuna Burgers with Pomme frites were excellent , very tasty ! Food was served on time and the Staff that were on that day were all friendly and helpful. Price very reasonable , we've been here before and we'll go back again.
From the first step, the service was very good from all levels of staff. The special Mother's Day menu provided a great choice of dishes to suit all tastes. Our party of three came away very satisfied with nothing but good comments about the day.
The overall experience at the Shaughnessy Restaurant was good. Did not care for being limited to one menu though, would have liked to have had the option of ordering from restaurant menu. Not much variety on Mother's Day menu for the price. One member of our party ordered coffee but the waitress did not ask if anyone else would like coffee, would have saved her a trip for a second cup! Would come back though for the opportunity to try the regular menu, and dining out on the deck with the garden view.
I feel relaxed in the restaurant. It looks beautiful and full of warmth.
I hadn't been here since the renovation. The restaurant is lovely. The food was excellent and our waiter was outstanding. Will definitely return.
Really enjoyed lingering at window table beside the garden, lovely lighting enhanced by natural light, & then being able to walk through garden. Food is usually very good.
We have not been here for a while. The food is very well prepared and the steak is perfect. The service is excellent. We will be going back soon.
We make it to Van Dusen Gardens once a year for the All British Car Meet held in the gardens over the long weekend in May. While there, we make a point of having lunch with friends at Shaughnessy. The menu is always fresh and varied with something to meet every appetite and taste. We have not been disappointed. While the front host or hostess can appear a bit "stiff", we have always found the wait staff to be friendly, outgoing and accommodating. A bit pricey, but the food is worth the extra bit of green for special occasions at this remarkable venue (Van Dusen).
Great spot to have lunch and then stroll in the Van Dusen Gardens. Out of town visitors loved it. Not kid friendly though. No kids menu available and no change table to be found. Chef was apparently disgruntled at being asked to split adult portions for small children... he eventually did, but apparently under duress! Worth the negotiation though, food and setting were delightful.
Came for a belated Mother's Day brunch and enjoyed the garden views along with excellent service from our waiter that afternoon. The food was delicious and I would recommended this to family and friends. I look forward to returning very soon!
My favourite spot for meeting friends , never rushed, always given great food with friendly service!
Twenty years ago I had been a volunteer guide at VanDusen Botanical Garden for about 6 years, so I was a frequent lunchtime visitor to Shaughnessy (previously called Sprinklers). I have not been back since 2001, when I had lunch there with my Mom, who has since passed away. I was celebrating my birthday on May 25th, so I told my husband that I would like to have lunch at Shaughnessy, then walk around the 85 acre garden with our cameras. It was a gorgeous, sunny day, but the treat began with our excellent lunch! So many wonderful memories came rushing back as my husband & I enjoyed a leisurely lunch accompanied by a fine BC wine (Burrowing Owl).
My wife and I enjoyed our selves good food well wourth another visit
This is my second time here and I will continue to come back! The menu hasn't changed since last year, but they are so good at making what is on the menu that I cannot complain. The food is tasty (although my pork chop could have been juicer, it was slightly dry/tough), sauces and their flavours are done nicely, and we all loved their herb and parmesan pomme frites! They are so good, which we could have had more! The service was also great. Bread was refilled when asked, server gave us the right amount of "breathing space" to enjoy our food. I hate pushy waiters, so he was fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxing and the restaurant was nice and quiet, though I should note it wasn't busy so that would explain some of the great service/food.
The seafood chowder was phenomenal. Three out of the four people at the table had it and we all agreed is was fabulous.
Was a great place to eat! Service was great, food was outstanding, and location of the restaurant was beautiful. We went for Father's Day and were very pleased! Will definitely visit again!
It was a quiet Thursday evening for our Anniversary, so all patrons were seated in the comfortable covered patio that looks out onto Vandusen Gardens. We both chose seafood. My ample serving of mussels starter were succulent in a delicate leek broth. My grilled halibut served on a tomato based warm vegetable salsa was perfectly cooked - no dryness, even at the outside, and was simply seasoned just enough to enhance the flavour. My partner had the simply seasoned and perfectly cooked steelhead complimented by grilled cauliflower & set on a spiced corm pancake. We expected to pay a bit of a location premium, and did, but fortunately the service and the food quality was not neglected! A lovely evening!
I worked near by for many years as was a frequent lunch guest at Shaughnessey's because it was consistently good. Great food in a lovely location with nice attentive service. Now that I am retired I continue to visit because it is such a nice place to lunch with friends. I highly recommend it to others.
Was meeting up with friends after a few months and using the OT good for brunch spots, decided to explore somewhere I've never been. Great location at Van Dusen Botanical Garden. Seafood chowder was amazing and the Niçoise salad was fresh, crisp and very tasty. Service was attentive with perfect timing with coffee refills and quality checks. Surprised it wasn't busier - but then that makes it a more favourable place for me. We were sitting in conservatory with beautiful views of the garden. Stunning setting and we enjoyed a nice 2 hours walk through the botanical gardens afterwards which was awesome!!!
we have been for brunch several times. the patio in the summer is wonderful. Service is excellent. Food is standard brunch fare so go for the atmosphere and service. Have not been for dinner but based on brunch would like to.
The lunch on patio was great, food is very good, service is quick and high quality. It was a bit crowded lunch time, a bit noisy (we were with business partners and had some hard time to hear each other). The garden views are lovely. Will come back. The only feedback for improvement I have is regarding how we were greeted. We were standing there for about 5 min without attention, as the person was on the phone for phone reservations. It would be nicer if he interrupted the call for a second to say hi to us and to apologize for the wait. It was awkward standing there with our out of town business partners and listening to the phone conversation of the front line personnel. Other that we had great meal, service and time.
The menu has just enough choices. We both had the crab croissant and really enjoyed it. Our server was attentive but not intrusive and brought out a plate with cookies and a candle on it for Mom's birthday as we didn't order dessert. Nice touch!
Central, cool, green with a nice menu and ambience . Brings the outside in. Easy parking!
The garden was fantastic as we could enjoy it from the patio dining. Presentation was excellent and the server was doing her duties well. We had ordered soup as opening which was excellent. My son was kind of disappointed since the crab croisant was too greasy, caused by the amount of cheese and croisant is usually a bit buttery anyway.My salad was good except for the prawns which were over cooked, they were dry and the meat was sticking to the shell. Seafood should not be cooked too long anyway, they do tend to get hard or chewy. I certainly hope there would be an improvement in preparing the food since the restaurant is well known and had been in business for many years. Keep the good work.
After a walk in the gardens, we chose to sit outside, the sunny day and the surroundings added to the pleasure of our meal. Two of us had the Chicken Pot Pie which was straight from the oven and delicious. The service was great too.
Always treated like royalty. Great service and food. The view and ambience of the garden is also great.
Cousins met for lunch after 45 years and this was the perfect setting. Food and service were wonderful and our table overlooking the fountain, lovely and comfortable. We finished up our lunch with photos in the garden by the lilies. All in all a perfect setting and meal to reunite with family or start any relationship.
Loved the warm, sweet atmosphere right away. Our waiter was very nice, smiling and attentive. Food was lovely my Father had a Chicken Panini and my Mother the Beef Burger and both were ample sized and they loved it! I had the Tuscan salad and they kindly removed the cheese as per my request. Prices were decent for the amount of food and the amazing blue berry scones that were served on the house. I wish they had more vegan/veggie options but I did love my salad. The real win however was the best Americano I had in my life and I drink a lot of coffee! I would happily go back just for that alone!
Shaughnessy is an easy destination for us with great parking and a beautiful garden setting. we had a great time catching up with friends, had good wine, good food. I usually have lunch there but dinner is just great. We will go again & I have recommended it to other friends.
The service is usually excellent and even though there was a wedding going on, in the adjoining room, while we dined the service was good. It is nice to look out at the garden. The calamari appetizer was hot and crispy and a generous portion. The beef tenderloin and Asian noodle main course were also very good. The mango and strawberry crisp was disappointing; not very crisp. The coconut creme brulee was nice but not outstanding.
My husband and I had the Tuscan salad... It was excellent! The food was great... The ambiance perfect... The service was excellent. Wonderful lunch all around! I definetly recommend!
I love the stunning view and spaciousness of the Shauhnessy Restaurant. It is an inviting space where staff offer a comfortable experience beginning with complimentary scones and coffee that follows quickly while I can decide my menu choice. There are many brunch selections if eggs and savoury delights are what you fancy. It is a challenging menu if you want to make healthy heart choices or have food challenges (no multi grain alternatives; no fruit alternatives to citrus allergies for french toast and no offer to double up other fruit). Food was beautifully presented in a timely way and we were well looked after. It's worth a return for a different meal to enjoy this rare setting in one of the most stunning Vancouver locations.
A good menu selection and great food. The restaurant was very accommodating when we had to delay our reservation. Our server was most pleasant and service was prompt. The atmosphere is bright and pleasant. Highly recommend it.
Ideal combination of great food, perfect service, outstanding ambiance in the VanDusen Botanical Garden
We were greeted warmly and had a nice table. Food was great and so was the service.
Had never been here before although driven past it a million times... Lovely restaurant in beautiful park setting. Very nice decor and service was really quite unbelievable. Not too much attention, but I was never wanting for anything. Food was delicious, hot and very fresh. I will return here - I went for lunch, but would like to try at dinner next time as I imagine it would be a really great setting. Chicken pot pie would be perfect for those cold, rainy days - also really enjoyed the chicken ciabatta sandwich !
Always great food and ambience....never feel rushed!
I took my young son on a date, the service staff catered to him beautiflly. Called him sir, and treated him like a guest. Food was lovely.
My first time here even though I grew up nearby. The food is superb. The wine prices are very reasonable. The setting is of course fantastic with all the beautiful lights during dinner. The staff is quick and courteous however very rushed. I felt like I was being served by someone at a white spot. That is, just take the order and run. Both servers were behaving the same way. There was no other function and the restaurant wasn't full. It would be perfect if they would take the time of offer suggestions and follow up with recommendations other than what do you want. Regardless, I would go back. The food is great.
The service we get here is the very best in town. We are weekly diners because we like it so much and we have come to know all the wonderful servers very well and management. Everyone is just super.
We were fortunate to have a lovely window-side table, w ith a spectacular view of the glittering Christmas light display outside. It was hard to choose from the menu - the choices were all tantalizing! Our choices ended up being good ones - the steelhead was scrumptious and the coconut creme brulee was a perfect ending. The special attention given to the main guest who was celebrating her birthday, was much appreciated. We will return!
We've been coming to this spot for years -- back when it was called Sprinklers -- now, Shaughnessy Restaurant. Always a wonderful ambiance, and very much value the Ocean Wise menu selections and BC wines. Our server was most professional, personable and receptive to our requests.
We ate dinner looking out at many trees covered with sparkling lights. It helped to restore our spirits, a little down since we couldn't enter the garden (mistake in dates). Our meal was very tasty, and especially the fresh tuna. My daughter had ordered it cooked, and it came that way - very nice of both the waiter and the chef to pay attention to her request. My braised lamb was also nicely flavored, and all in all, it was a satisfying experience.

Product From Haldex Brake Products
Expand for more details on this Product
Spicer AdvanTEK 40 Tandem Axle
Product From Dana Corporation -
Dana's Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle, a 40,000-lb tandem axle for a variety of Class 8 applications, features a design that increases fuel economy, improves reliability, reduces vehicle weight and decreases total ownership costs. A combination of features including the industry's fastest axle ratio of 2.26:1, lower axle weight, optimum inter-axle driveline angles and reduced lubrication quantity will save fleets money on fuel and maintenance, according to the comnpany. Its faster axle ratios handle higher input torques, lower engine rpm at cruise speed while increasing axle efficiency by up to 1.2 percent and suit direct-drive transmission drivetrains requiring rear axle ratios from 2.26 to 2.79 and overdrive transmission drivetrain ratios from 2.93 to 3.91.
- Product From Dana Corporation
Dana's Spicer EconoTrek tandem axle comes as a lightweight 6x2 configuration that improves performance, reduces maintenance and increases fuel economy for heavy duty line haul tractors. Its design decreases in mechanical drivetrain energy loss and reduces weight by up to 400 lbs when compared with a traditional 40,000-lb tandem axle arrangement. The tandem axle comes made of high-strength, micro-alloy steel with a thin-wall, square-edge formed axle housing box. This adds significant strength for the axle's vertical load-bearing capabilities, reducing tire wear while simplifying suspension and chassis installation at a lower weight.
Magnitude 60 Class Product Line
Product From Fontaine Trailer Company -
Fontaine's Magnitude 60 Class product line includes a 2-axle bogie and the EQ2 hydraulic equalizing spreader. The lowbed trailers come as the lightest in their class, handling 60 tons in just 12', according to the company. These options deliver hauling flexibility and their modular design means operators have the option to run in 2+2, 3+1 or 4-axles close coupled. The EQ2 spreader has a "C-link" mounting system that allows it to convert from a 14'-7" to 16'-1" axle spread in a matter of minutes. Its two convenient built-in storage compartments features lockable covers for greater security.
CV Boot Clamp Pliers, No. 28667
Product From Mayhew Tools -
The CV Boot Clamp Pliers, No. 28667, from Mayhew can be used to mount ear-style CV boot clamps, Oetiker type and similar types. These pliers come specifically designed to completely close ear-style boot clamps (Oetiker type and similar) by compressing each side of the clamp's ear using the forged anvil at the center of the plier's jaws. The plier's anvil permits an ideal closing of each ear-clamp and thus ensures that the clamp is correctly installed and takes up a minimum of space when closed. Can be used on CV boots, front wheel drive steering systems, fuel systems, air and water cooling circuits and air-bag systems.
- Product From Kenworth Truck Company
Kenworth Truck Company's AG230 is a non-torque reactive parallelogram single-axle rear air suspension for weight-sensitive truck operators. Fully disc brake compatible, the suspension offers a superior ride compared to that offered by traditional spring suspensions, says the company. The 4-bag proprietary AG230, with a capacity of 23,000 lbs, is for on-highway and vocational applications. Distinctive air springs with special lower pistons adjust continuously to changing road conditions for superior ride quality.
- Product From ArvinMeritor
ArvinMeritor's Meritor 14X tandem drive axle, the lightest axle in its class, has a more robust and efficient inter-axle differential and the fastest ratios - 2.47:1 up to 7.17:1, as well as the widest range of axle ratios. The inter-axle differential - now 20 percent larger - can accommodate increased nominal torque and includes helical gear needle bearings for reduced heat and wear; upsized main differential side bearings for more capacity; and larger input shaft and rear side bearing for strength. The above-centerline design of the inter-axle driveline provides significant improvements, including reduced operating pressures for increased driveline life, less driveline angularity, vibration and energy loss; improved ride quality; and overall longer component life. A newly-designed axle breather feature helps prevent water and other contaminants from entering the carrier while keeping the lube in place.
- Product From Dana Corporation
Dana's Spicer S140 family of single-drive, medium-duty axles have been specifically engineered to improve fuel economy, reduce maintenance costs, increase operator comfort and boost overall vehicle performance. They are available for all makes and models of straight truck chassis up to 19,000-pound gross axle weight ratings. The family replaces all previous 17,000- to 19,000-pound Spicer drive axles. With an initial Roadranger lubrication drain at 250,000 miles and 32 percent less lubrication required overall, these axles are easier to maintain and more environmentally friendly than previous Dana and current competitive designs.
- Product From Dana Corporation
Dana Corporation introduces the technologically advanced Dana Spicer® S170 series of single-reduction, single-drive, heavy-duty axles. The S170 series features the industry's broadest axle ratio coverage, as well as high-capacity gearing and bearing systems to meet the requirements of higher horsepower and torque engines used in rugged and demanding applications.

text: The best place to find the sweetest and freshest strawberries just about the entire year. I have come to the market every Saturday with one goal- to purchase some Oxnard strawberries from the only vendor I know who has them,' Success Valley Farms'. Don't get me wrong there are other great things there and I do come home with more than just berries, but I only go there and to them for them. So go try the strawberries JUST MAKE SURE THEY ARE FROM OXNARD.

From a distance you can make out the perfectly formed domes of peat as they rise from their surroundings. The bog is home to complex vegetation and sphagnum mosses, which small shrubs grow over. In the late summer months bog rosemary, cotton grass and heather all appear.
Within the multi-coloured carpets of sphagnum moss lie wildlife, including adders and lizards. You may also hear the distinctive calls of stonechat and snipe.
Visit in May to early June for plants and autumn to winter for birds of prey and geese.
Facilities include a 900 m path and boardwalk which allows visitors to walk around the bog. A viewing tower gives fantastic views across the reserve.
Ten miles west of Stirling. Turn right off the A811 at the Kippen roundabout towards Thornhill on the B822. After two miles, a signposted track on the left leads to the car park and cycle racks.

Elmhurst residents not deterred by library ruling on M-rated video games
ELMHURST – Despite the Elmhurst Public Library's recent decision to not change its evaluation policy toward M-rated video games, resident Jim Schuetz isn't giving up the fight.
"Similar to President Obama, who was very disappointed with the Senate's decision to not pass improved gun control, we're also equally disappointed with the library's decision to not put improved selection criteria and procedures in place around violent video games," said Schuetz, who was motivated by the Sandy Hook shootings to file his request to reconsider the library's selection.
Schuetz and a small group of Elmhurst residents will continue to pursue changes in the library's policy by possibly circulating a petition or working with city leaders, he said.
