On one of the toughest finishing climbs of this year's Vuelta a España, Mauro Santambrogio was best for the BMC Racing Team Tuesday at the top of Sierra Nevada.
Encouragement From Evans
Santambrogio finished 35th, 46 seconds behind stage winner Daniel Moreno (Katusha), who outsprinted fellow breakaway companion Chris Sorensen (Saxo Bank-Sungaard) to win the 170.2 kilometer stage. Sylvain Chavanel (Quick Step) became the new race leader. Santambrogio said he received inspiration from a text message from Cadel Evans. The two frequently trained on the punishing climb that stretches for 23 km. "Today was the first day that my legs were good," Santambrogio said. "Cadel gave me some encouragement and I know the Vuelta is a long race. I am taking things day-by-day."

WATCH IT HERE : https://vimeo.com/53804072
In April I took a little trip down the Mexico. I purposely left the camera at home and brought only a sound recorder and the sick addictive device that is the iphone. The idea was to not spend the entire trip behind the camera lens but to discover what could be created as an alternative…So, I resorted to my other (neglected) loves, illustration, photography and animation. It"s what a day in a small Mexican town felt like.
Last night Union Docs hosted a beautiful screening of shorts by the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective, it included my short Gawking Red.
I've been deeply impressed by two films recently, one fiction and documentary.
Leo Carax's Holy Motors is a must see, a very Brechtian approach to filmmaking. The viewer is never relaxed into a passive indulgence, but is continuously interrupted by new possibilities. The film is densely layered; it addressed our voyeuristic society, our need for sensationalism, how and why we are entertained. It very much comments on acting, roles and audience.
At the same time watching it, the viewer is trying to decipher between multiple realities, that on film and their own. What is real and for who?
What is beautiful and who decides it is so? It also brings to mind the idea of hybrid identities and as Audre Lorde would say, the possibility of being and assuming multiple identities at the same time.
At the other end…
In his 10 advice tips for aspiring filmmakers, the brilliant Russian documentary filmmaker Viktor Kossakovsky says "Don't film if you want to say something – just say it or write it. Film only if you want to show something, or you want people to see something. This concerns both the film as a whole and every single shot within the film." Michael Glawogger's Workingman's Death is a perfect example. The film covers volumes with its succinct simplicity. Just brilliant.

Robbery may be one of many for Catt family
Nov 15, 2012 | 1 Comment
By Ossie Bladine
Of the News-Register
(1:28 p.m. 11/16/12) The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office officially said Friday that Scott, Hayden and Abigail Catt are linked to the Harris County bank robbery mentioned below in which two males entered wearing painting outfits and wielding pistols.
The Sheriff also said detectives believe the suspects may be connected to five bank robbery cases in the Portland area.
News that Ronald "Scott" Catt, 50, and his children, Hayden, 20, and Abigail, 18, had been arrested last week for robbing a Texas credit union shocked those who knew the former McMinnville family. And details now surfacing suggest it wasn't a one-time affair.
The McMinnville Police Department and Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office have been working with FBI officials since Scott and Hayden were arrested Friday for holding up at gunpoint the First Community Credit Union in Katy, Texas. Abby, who allegedly drove the getaway car and wore a fake mustache, turned herself in soon after.
As of press time, neither agency was able to provide a statement on the family's possible broader involvement. But the Fort Bend Star reported Wednesday that the Oct. 1 holdup may have just been one more in a string of robberies committed by the family in the western U.S.
"According to those close to the investigation, there are links to this family and bank robberies dating as far back as 10 years across many western states; more details are expected as the investigation further unfolds," the newspaper reported. In Texas alone, the paper said, "The Catt trio have been charged with the Cinco Ranch credit union robbery in north Fort Bend County, and are suspects in possibly two more in Harris County."
The Catts were arrested after a Texas crime stoppers program offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the apprehension of suspects. And sources say they are being investigated in at least two other bank robberies in recent weeks in Texas.
One was committed by two white males wearing painters' masks and jumpsuits. The other was committed by a lone white male gunman wearing a blue workman's jumpsuit, sunglasses and a distinctive orange cowboy hat.
In both cases, surveillance photos have been posted online. They may be found here and here.
McMinnville police say they have two unsolved local bank robberies. One was committed Aug. 24, 2006, at First Federal and the other July 18, 2007 at Washington Mutual, now Chase Bank.
Capt. Dennis Marks could not say whether any of the Catts might be suspects in those robberies. But the mere possibility members of the family might have been involved in a series of robberies, local or not, created a sense of disbelief among those who knew them from McMinnville schools and the McMinnville Swim Club.
"It was unbelievable," said Kathryn Lundeen, who served on the swim club board while Scott was club president.
Both of his children swam for the club, and Hayden went on to star for the Grizzly swim team before graduating from the high school's McMinnville Arts and Communication Academy. So she knew them as well.
Lundeen said Scott, an engineer who worked for a firm in suburban Portland, saw the club through some troubling affairs.
"He showed a lot of leadership and helped us get through a real difficult time," she said. "I always respected him for that.
"I liked the guy. He never struck me as being a person who had poor judgment."
A longtime resident of McMinnville, prior to his recent move to Texas, Scott graduated from McMinnville High School himself in 1980. Those who knew him say he was well liked.
Hayden and Abby, both honor students at Duniway Middle School, were liked as well, according to Lundeen. She said she'd heard rumblings about the kids getting into trouble, but nothing beyond the usual teenage stuff.
The family lived in McMinnville from the 1990s until last year.
Scott's first wife died of breast cancer when the kids were still young. County records show he had a second marriage that began in 1998 and ended two years later, after his wife was convicted of a domestic assault.
Susan Brentano Schwartz, who graduated with Scott, said she and her family were very saddened by the news. "We'll always love Scott and his family unconditionally, and we'll pray that somehow through this situation they recognize the severity and make changes in their lives," she said.
All three members of the family are being held in the Fort Bend County Jail. The father and son were each booked on $140,000 bond, the daughter on $100,000.

Compact though the Benelux region may be, the breadth of its musical life is stellar. From world class symphony orchestras and opera companies to balladeers and pop stars, Luxembourg, Holland, and Belgium can delight you with loads of home-grown talent as well as a raft of international musical guests at season performances, competitions, on tour, and at festivals.
Music in Luxembourg is alive and well and being played all over. The Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and Luxembourg European Soloists perform regularly throughout the Grand Duchy, with soloists of international standing regularly join the two orchestras as well. In addition to theatres and concert halls, castles and historic churches in Luxembourg add an impressive architectural backdrop to these musical events. The greatest operas, ballets and musicals presented by groups from abroad also form an integral part of the Luxembourg musical offering. You can experience classical masterpieces, discover the exciting sound universes of contemporary composers, listen to classical as well as to European jazz and explore the multi-faceted musical cultures of the world. A wide variety of concert series and festivals invite you to re-listen to your favorites or to explore the unknown.
Belgium brought us Jacques Brel, the saxophone and the Singing Nun; clearly Belgian culture hits a global nerve when it comes to music. Music is present at every celebration in Belgium, not surprising in a country where an opera started the Revolution! If you enjoy classical music, hie thee to the Royal Monniae Theatre in Brussels, one of the most coveted lyric "temples" of Europe, where you can see fabulous opera productions. There are also classical concerts, and the rich program of the Brussels Philharmonic Society. Moreover, festivals give rhythm to the city all year round. The Klara Festival – Flanders Festival Brussels schedules some 300 events in and beyond the capital, and the Festival of Wallonia reveals its innovative character more and more every year. For more contemporary and world sounds, don't miss the Brussels Jazz Marathon, Couleur Café, Jazzy Nights, and loads more.
You may think of clubbing and extreme techno-nightlife when you think of Holland – as well you should - but there's also a deep classical vein in this Low Country. De Nederlandse Opera (The Netherlands Opera), based in Amsterdam, hires a new artistic team and soloists for every production. It is known worldwide and has had guest performances around the world. For some fun, pop into the 'From Musical Clock to Street Organ' museum, housed in the beautifully restored medieval Buurkerk church in Utrecht. The music clock, pianola, street- and dance hall organs, belly organs, and organ clocks, are all part of the world of mechanical music instruments. Did you know that Beethoven, Mozart, Handel and Haydn composed music especially for barrel organs and music boxes?
The Mediterranean Region defies description; so rich is it in dramatic history and bewitching scenery.
The Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, brings to mind wine and beautiful landscapes.
Dramatic scenery, winter sports, the northern lights and the midnight sun, saunas, and reindeer.

My friends new 2011 Alien z has schreded two sets of limbs delaminating. I am curiuos if there's a higher incident of the carbon finished limbs failing over the other finishes?
My friends new 2011 Alien z has schreded two sets of limbs delaminating. I am curiuos if there's a higher incident of the carbon finished limbs failing over the other finishes?
I would not think the finish is the issue but rather a manufacturing process problem. Will be paying attention to replies you get on this one. Kinda scary.
Pretty sure it's just paint.
Recurves: 40lb X-200, 45 & 50lb Hunters, 45lb Mamba
Yeah bout to say, I don't think the finish you choose has anything to do with the limb breaking
Prior to 2008 Martin had used laminated limbs with three laminations and these held up really well for many years. Then along came the Cat/Hybrix cams which were more aggressive and the problems started and seemed to peak in 2009. For 2010 an improved laminated limb was designed having 4 laminations. Things did improve, but there were still too many issues so R&D continued it's testing to find a reliable limb. 2011 brought the advent of their solid core limb, known as PowerTuff. These seem to hold up much better so limb failures are more in line with the norm.
Now whether the finish is black carbon or any of the vaious camo patterns has nothing to do with reliability as this is just a film dip finish and has nothing to do with the structural integrity of the limb. The use of PowerTuff limbs pertains to post 2010 Martin bows and most Rytera bows of the same year. Prior to 2010 most Rytera bows were using Barnsdale limbs, which are arguably the best Laminated limbs money can buy. Now most all Martin offerings are using PowerTuff limbs.
Idetifying which limbs are on your bow is fairly easy. On the underside of the limb butt near the Roto Cup Barnesdale limbs have a 3 digit code such as 135, 175, 195, etc. Martin limbs will have a number/letter code such as 3H, 5H, etc. The newer Powertuff limbs will be marked with 3HP, 5HP, etc. with the "P" meaning Power Tuff.

"I will make My arrows drunk with blood... Deuteronomy 32:42a (HCSB)
I am an Alien, I am in this world but I am not of this world, have mercy. Tell the Truth and shame the Devil.
Thanks all for the input, bow at Martin for the 2nd time in 6 mo. He's not a happy camper.
Most of the factories recommend a minimum arrow weight of 5 gr/lb. As bows are rated at some IBO criteria I'd assume this is for 70# and 30" draw. Let's just use this as a base line. Some years ago (mid 90's) it was 6 gr/lb. Prior to that there wasn't a minimum per se as we were using aluminum arrows and it was hard to get down to 6 gr/lb so there was some margin of safety built in. Limbs were not as good but cams were not as aggressive either. Bows were somewhat more reliable in the limb dept although the failure rate was about 1% across the industry.
Then came the quest for speed at any cost. Easiest way to get it is lighter arrows. Some guys push this to the limit or beyond with little regard for bow reliability or safety. Chrono numbers are all that's important. Also, to be competitive companies (IMO) started using speed ratings that most archers can't achieve without pushing the envelope with dire consequences in some cases.
It's no secret that a longer draw length produces more stored energy for a given draw weight in a given bow. I would suggest to all to Google "AMO Minimum Arrow Weight Chart" (www.avidarchers.com) and study it a bit. This is a chart somewhat dated but does show what they consider safe arrow weights for a given draw weight and draw length. Look at it carefully and you'll see that at 30" draw and 70# the arrow weight is way higher than the IBO minimum of 350 gr (487 gr). Also notice that for something like 27" draw and 70# it's not 350 gr (388 gr)., and progressively lighter as draw length gets shorter.
Were the IBO to adapt this criteria it would level the playing field more and leave more margin for safety and reliability of our equipment. Some other benefits would be less vibration and less noise leaving still plenty of speed, especially for the majority of hunting setups. Archery companies would also benefit by having less equipment failures. It would be a win-win situation for all. Again, this is just my opinion.

The BMC Racing Team worked hard to keep Cadel Evans out of trouble Thursday on a rain-soaked stage of the Giro d'Italia that saw one of the race favorites lose significant time.
Phinney: 'A Nervous Day'
Evans finished 40th and in the peloton, as race officials decided to take the finishing time at the three-kilometer mark of the 134-km stage due to the hazardous conditions. Sky Procycling's Bradley Wiggins, who had been sitting fourth overall, had difficulty descending the final climb and was unable to chase back despite the help of five teammates. The defending Tour de France champion lost 3:17 and fell to 13th overall, 5:22 behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team). Taylor Phinney said the BMC Racing Team's top priority was keeping Evans – in second overall – out of trouble in the slick conditions. "It was a very successful day for the team," Phinney said. "We just wanted to keep Cadel safe. He was the priority No. 1 and we kept him up in the front. It was a nervous day, but we all ride in these sort of rainy, cold conditions. So it was a better day for us than for other people." Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took the stage win, his third of this year's race, and assumed the points classification lead from Evans.

On a day when the peloton enjoyed a rare circuit race in the Vuelta a España, Wednesday's objective for the BMC Racing Team was to get as much rest and recovery as possible.
Peloton A Bit Fatigued
The eight-lap race of a 21-kilometer circuit featured a solo breakaway that was caught with 30 kilometers to go. From there, John Degenkolb (Argos-Shimano) won the expected sprint finish as the overall classification remained unchanged. Amaël Moinard, who several times came back to the BMC Racing Team car to get ZipVit Sport nutrition and Elite/Gunz bottles, said fortunately it was not as hot as previous days on the nearly tree-less course. "With the last two hard stages, it was good to have an easier day," Moinard said. "Everybody is starting to get tired so we all needed to take it a little easier. So it was a perfect day for us." BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said he is looking forward to Thursday's first day in the Pyrenees. "We'll have some opportunities to play Steve Morabito and Philippe Gilbert," he said. "We did well today with no crashes – just staying safe and preserving Steve's good position on the GC." Morabito is the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider in 14th, 53 seconds behind race leader Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha Team).

ACC Tournament: UNC holds off Maryland
GREENSBORO — North Carolina's ACC semifinal win against Maryland Saturday needing to be reassured. They needed a hand and P.J. Hairston gave them one.
The one with stitches.
The Tar Heels fought off injury concerns and a strong-willed Terrapin team fighting for its NCAA Tournament lives in a 79-76 victory. They moved on to today's championship and sighed in relief as Hairston, their third-leading scorer, looked every bit the part.
Hairston, who needed eight stitches in his left hand to secure a wound he suffered against Florida State, entered the day a game-time decision. Surviving through the ordeal was hard enough, much less playing a career-high 36 minutes.
"Last night I thought I was going to die," Hairston joked. "I was in the training room with my mom holding my hand. As soon as the alcohol and the soap hit my hand I kind of screamed for my life."
The sophomore's hand wasn't stitched up enough to catch a fastball from Randy Johnson but he scored 13 points and hit a pair of first-half 3-pointers.
"He was one tough sucker today," said UNC coach Roy Williams of Hairston. "He was 3 for 10 but he had some good looks. At the same time I think what he helped us do was extremely important."
Reggie Bullock and Dexter Strickland scored 15 points each and James Michael McAdoo added 13 for UNC (24-9).
"We think we played exceptionally well in the second half," Williams said. "I thought the thing that killed us in the first half and in the second was points off offensive rebounds."
UNC led by 12 on four occasions in the second half but was unable to put it away the Terps until the final buzzer.
Maryland (22-12) got a chance to tie the game in the final 10 seconds with possession of the ball and a timeout. Logan Aronhalt came around a screen from Alex Len and got an open look but the 3-point try failed to draw rim.
"It's tough to get an open three late in the game and we actually got one," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. "The execution was good and that's all we ask for as a coach. Logan is a pretty good shooter and he was 48 percent from three a couple weeks ago."
The Terps fell to UNC for the third time this season. The Heels are 0-2 this year against Miami, today's opponent in the conference title game. UNC's last conference title came in 2008. An ACC crown would be fulfilling to a team that started 0-2 in the league, which seemed like ages ago.
"Everyone had their doubts," Hairston said. "Once we started clicking together and playing North Carolina basketball, that's when everything came together. We started playing with a different intensity and a sense of urgency."
Maryland left points on the floor as it missed a slew of layups and close shots. Freshman Dez Wells had 15 points after a 30-point effort against Duke but was held scoreless for the first 15 minutes. Having spent a large chunk of effort and emotion upsetting Duke Friday, Maryland looked lackadaisical in the first half.
"We missed a ton of layups and some balls bounced out of our hands and led to layups and things," Turgeon said.
Twenty-four second-chance points helped Maryland. Len led the Terps with 20 points. Nick Faust scored 17.
UNC led 37-32 at halftime and went up double digits on consecutive shots by Strickland. The Heels had a 68-58 advantage with under eight minutes to play when Maryland started a 12-3 run to cut it to 71-70.
Freshman Marcus Paige hit a floater from the baseline with the shot clock running down with 36 seconds left to give UNC a 77-72 lead. Hairston missed the second of two free throws with 16 seconds left to give Maryland its final chance down three points.

Letter on Birch Bark from Siberia by Rasma Kraukle, May 19, 1945
On August 5, 1940, the independent country of Latvia was forcibly incorporated into the Soviet Union, after having been occupied by the Red Army in June of that year. Estonia and Lithuania suffered a similar fate. Thousands of Latvians were arrested for having anti-Soviet views, taking part in resistance movements, being farmers, belonging to political parties, or refusing to join a collective farm. Many were deported to Siberia. People who were in prisons, concentration camps, or settlements in Siberia wrote letters to friends and relatives on birch bark, which was ...

The BDI Nova 8428 is a superb media stand and cabinet. Packaged well. Set up easily. Stores all AV equipment appropriately with ease of access. Appearance is an attractive addition to our family room. This unit is a good cost / value. Yes, it's an expense but it will be a future valued investment... It's like an excellent pair of quality shoes... comfortably adds to the overall .... Pros: Appearance, fit, and use... 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Allows for a very organized and neat cable management. Also very well built and classy looking. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Just Right Written By Cliff, Fremont, Ca on Sunday, April 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have an existing cherry entertainment center with 52 1/2" between the towers and limited a height of 30", a large center channel (41") and multiple electronic systems. So I had been looking for something to satisfy all my needs ( Looks, size, color, functionality, venting, I'm a neat freak so the removable panels in the back along with the wiring holes make it nice and easy to keep things neat. This cabinet has it all, and its built strong and heavy. It's a bit more money than others I was looking at, but they didn't have everything I was looking for and they definitely weren't built as nice. You get what you pay for with this cabinet. Delivery was good, takes a while to unpack, i've rarely seen anything packed so well. You can't go wrong with the nova 8428..... Pros: Design, build quality, truly electronic entertainment specific piece of furniture Cons: None that I've found 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Perfect Written By James, Rye, NY on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for just the right media cabinet for several years before this purchase and could not be happier now. The cable management is simply outstanding, the wheels allow easy access the the rear of the cabinet and the removable panels there are a joy. I have a large center speaker that I am able to hide entirely behind the mesh of the top shelf and the other components are just visible behind the smoked glass of the lower shelves. The cabinet is very attractive and looks like furniture that belongs in a home. My wife is not at all accepting of visible wires or technology and was fully prepared to hate this cabinet. I had it all set up when she arrived home and to my amazement (along with hers and everyone who knows her) she likes it. This cabinet is a marriage saver. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice TV Stand Written By houston, Lafayette, La on Sunday, May 10, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Received this item on schedule and it was very well packed without any damage. Beautiful piece of furniture with very little assembly required. The hardest part was removing all the foam, wood and cardboard packing. I was able to roll it into my living room with ease. I was able to handle everything by myself but it would be more practical it another person would have helped especially lifting it off the bottom support. My new 46" Samsung HDTV looks fantastic on this classy console. I was able to place my Bose subwoofer behind the TV with room to spare and you would never know it was there. I searched for weeks for a console that would meet all my needs and I keep coming back to this one and I finally ordered it. This console is expensive but you get what you pay for. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 BDI Novia Series 8428 Written By Nancy, SF, CA on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We did a lot of research for a new entertainment center. It was so helpful to watch the video of this product on the website and see exactly what was offered. We are very pleased with our choice of the Novia A/V cabinet, cocoa. Crutchfield should be applauded for their amazing service... the cabinet arrived on schedule and in perfect condition. No scratches or any damage! I was so relieved. It actually looks better than it does on the website. The color is darker than it appears on the website, but I think it is even better, richer... a mahogany tone. With its simple clean lines, it's perfect for housing all the components and very well ventilated. We are especially glad that it has wheels, so we can move it easily when needed. The delivery and assembly went well, too. We are very satisfied customers. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very Nice Written By Tim, Harbor Springs, MI on Sunday, March 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I agree with other reviewers that this is a very heavy unit. It was well packed and totally surrounded with plywood in the shipping box. No shipping damage was evident. Set up was straight forward. It helped to have a set of carpet sliders to move the unit to it's location. The unit is well designed and constructed. Fit and finish are very good and the hardware of high quality. A pleasant surprise for something built in China. Quiet door closures top and bottom. One door hinge needed slight adjustment. There is plenty of ventilation for a unit that is totally enclosed. The rear panels hide the cables and are easy to use. The glass top is very dressy. The color is a fair bit redder than shown on the website photo, but cherry can have a lot of variability and tends to lighten with age. All things considered, I am very happy with this purchase. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Better than Expected Written By Juliette, Husser, LA on Monday, December 29, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am 100% delighted with my purchase! I thought I would need a team of engineers to assemble the TV cabinet! Not so! It was carefully delivered and put in living room. I had no problem unpackaging alone. I did need an extra person to help drag out of disassembled box. This is a HEAVY piece! Well constructed, beautiful! Only assembley was attaching knobs, placing glass and easy insert back panels. Could not believe that you can buy something in today's times and not need a team of workers and know how to read Chinese! Super happy here! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Worth the Wait Written By vikingsoneday, Chattanooga on Friday, December 26, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It took three deliveries to finally get one that wasn't damaged. But that wasn't Crutchfield or BDI's problem. (The second delivery looked like two guys with forklifts decided to play catch with it.) It is very well packed and a beautiful piece of furniture. Everyone who has seen it with our new 50" plasma atop, remarks on the stand more than the TV picture! Crutchfield was awesome to work with on getting the reshipments, and even added more protection after the second mishap. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 I am a hero in my wife eyes Written By Joe D, Cary, North Carolina on Thursday, September 04, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am a hero in my wife eyes My wife is not too happy about me buying a new plasma TV. My previous television was a 42 in first generation HD TV (purchase 2000). It was a big box with no room for receivers and speakers. Because of this, we had wires and speakers showing behind the big box TV that was installed in a corner. When I purchased my 46 inch Panasonic plasma from Crutchfield and received a 10 percent discount on furniture, I started looking around for a entertainment center that would be all encompassing. This product is not an entertainment center as much is it is a beautiful piece of furniture solid in every way and extremely well thought out. I was able to put my left right and center Bose speakers in the upper compartment which has speaker material instead of a solid door. Because of the compartment slots, the wiring is all internal to this piece of furniture. After I finished wiring everything, there are two beautifully finish back pieces that slide into place and conceal everything. Because of the back pieces, light from a window close does not illuminate the component compartment. Needless to say the look is beautiful. And my Panasonic TV is perfectly matched for the glass top of this piece. My Wife is Happy! If you are interested in a beautiful finish look for your new plasma/LCD TV It is well worth the money. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This is an extremely well made and well designed cabinet that looks great and makes the component set up very easy (the back panels are easily removable). This is a piece of furniture that I will be glad to have for a long, long time.

He is a graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina, did his internship at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia and four years of general surgery residency at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. He then entered the U.S. Air Force, at which time he completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at the height of the Vietnam conflict, which yielded vast experience towards some of the techniques utilized today.
Dr. Finger began practicing plastic and reconstructive surgery in Savannah in 1973 and shortly thereafter built the first outpatient plastic surgery operative center in Georgia. Our surgical facility is accredited by AAAASF and licensed as an Ambulatory Surgery Center by the State of Georgia.

Skin Care Products
Dr. Finger has also had a proactive interest in skin health and has taken great steps to promote this philosophy to his patients. Because of the fact that Dr. Fingers practice is very large he has had the opportunity to use many of the skin care products that are available in the United States today. Many of these products were good and some were excellent, but those that achieved the most beneficial results had the tendency to create too much inflammation, irritation and flaking. In addition, none of the products contained the nutrients and anti-oxidants that Dr. Finger felt necessary for long-term skin health. Since 1996 he has worked with several chemists and created the product New Youth Skin Treatment System. This achieves thicker dermis and epidermis, a better blood supply to the skin, reduces sun damage, equalizes pigmentation, and helps to reduce fine wrinkles, all with minimal irritation and flaking. New Youth also contains ingredients that help prevent the onset of adverse reactions such as acne. The products contain absorbable nutrients such as phyto compounds, vitamins such as A, C, B complexes, powerful antioxidants and other ingredients which allow the cells to maintain maximum health and hydration. The program also allows for some tailoring of the products to the specific needs of the patient based upon skin type and condition.
The New Youth Skin Treatment System and the program has been well accepted by Dr. Fingers patients and those patients of other physicians who have had the opportunity to use the products for their patients.

Spatial imaging is commonly thought of by the composer in relatively objective way as a means of enhancing the sounding properties inherent in spectro-morphologies and structural relations. Simply stated, a musical gesture can be more vividly dramatised through spatial displacement, just as a texture can be made 'environmental' through spatial distribution. Such spatial imaging, considered by the composer and composed into the music, I shall call composed space.
The (indoors) listening space encloses and may either confine or expand the composed space. This ultimate space where the listener perceives is therefore a superimposed space, a nesting of the composed spaces within a listening space. (Source - Denis Smalley (1991). L'espace du Son II. Ohain: Editions Musiques et Recherches.)

Cool Kitchen Gear for 2013
From classic bakeware to innovative design touches on small appliances, this year's International Home and Housewares Show offered plenty of great new kitchen tools to make your life easier.

Look Ma, No Rivets!
When it came time to test skillets, one of our biggest grips was that the rivets found in most frypans make them tougher to clean. Tramontina's new line of Fusion pans ($29.95-$69.95) may make that complaint a thing of the past. Tramontina is pioneering a new manufacturing process wherein the metal of the rivets is melted into the pan, leaving a smooth cooking surface inside. We can't wait to see what sort of cooking performance these new easier-to-clean pans offer!

Cooking with Spices in Kalyn's Kitchen

Kalyn, your spice rack is to die for! I am so jealous! ;) I posted pics of the inside of my fridge and my spice rack too a while back... it's fun to see what other have stashed away. One day I hope to own as many spices as you do :)

Wow! You put my spice cabinet to shame! Your brother in law did a beautiful job. That cabinet is gorgeous!

You have a *lot* of spices, Kalyn :) All beautifully organized too! WOW!
- July 1, 2006 at 4:49 AM

Michele. thanks. My BIL did a great job on the whole house.
Kitarra, thanks. The spice cabinet is matched to the cabinets and crown molding in the kitchen. As I said, I love my kitchen. I feel very lucky to have such a nice house.
Nupur, you're right. I probably have more spices than I really "need" but I love trying new ones.

You are one very lucky girl! That spice rack I'd say is to live for - what a joy. I'm most impressed with the organization!
I don't think I have nearly as many as you do. The big onces from Sam's in in my pantry on some shelves and the rest in one drawer.
Does this Kelly travel like to Dallas?
- July 1, 2006 at 6:56 AM
- Kalyn said...
Tanna, I'm kind of naturally organized for some reason. One of my neighbors claims I am obsessive-compulsive, but not true; those spices are not even alphabetized!! Sorry, but I don't think Kelly can go clear to Dallad. He's actually got a different job now, but he still does build some beautiful furniture sometimes. No more big construction projects though, except his own house.

Kalyn...nice post...I'm about to start designing a new kitchen for myself and I wonder if you could give a little more info on your stove...what make is it, how did you find it, what's the problem with the oven (and can it be fixed), etc. Thanks!
- July 1, 2006 at 8:26 AM
- Kalyn said...
Stephen, I LOVE my stove. It came with my house, and I think was made in the 1940's but I'm not sure of the exact year. Two things I especially love:
* There is a lot of distance between the burners (right side to left side) so you can put huge pans or even better, big woks on top of the stove.
*The stove has a built in broiler, separate from the oven, with a rack that swings out so you can easily arrange or baste the meat. I use it a lot in the winter.
It's not perfect though. The oven thermostat doesn't keep the temperature steady, although I had it adjusted since I wrote that first post and it's a little better. I doubt I could make something like a souffle, but now it doesn't fluctuate quite as much. Biggles referred me to a site (www.classicstoves.com) that is probably a good resource for a starting point to find a stove like this if you're interested. If I get a little spare money, I'm planning to get a thermostat from there and have it fixed permanently. (First though, a new digital SLR camera is on the list.)

Your array of Penzey's spices is quite impressive. Mine are all piled in shopping bag which I pull out of the cabinet and rifle through.
- July 1, 2006 at 11:22 AM
- PatL said...
Ok, so I have to ask ... can you get to your spices without taking down the pans? And yes, that rack is drop-dead GORGEOUS!
- July 1, 2006 at 5:13 PM
- Kalyn said...
Orchidea, I know it's a lot. I admit I'm a bit extravagant.
Anna, another Penzeys lover eh? They are they best.
PatL, yes I can get to the spices without removing the pans. But I have to stand on my very, very tip toes to reach the top ones, so I put the things I use least on the top.

I bow to your superior spiciness!
As I read the post and saw each succeeding pic I thought, I can match that but when we got to your custom built spice pantry on the wall I admitted complete defeat :-)
I dont use the ones I have now enough so I admire yours but dont think I will be matching you any time soon :-)
- July 2, 2006 at 10:03 AM

Gabriella, please come and live here. Only condition, you must bring those adorable twins and promise to cook for me.
Indianadoc, I know I'm a bit obsessive about having to have just the right spice.
Nika, you're too funny. It's not a contest. And just like you, I have to admit I have far too many I don't use enough.
- July 2, 2006 at 10:36 AM

I promise to cook WITH you. My twins would love to play in your garden.

I'm just now getting into cooking, nothing fancy, but it seems like every time I turn around, I need a spice that I don't have.
What spices should every kitchen have on hand?
- December 26, 2006 at 3:12 PM
- Kalyn said...
Hank, it's completely subjective, depending on what kind of food you like, but here are some things I consider essential:
celery seed
chile powder
fennel (for spagetti sauce especially)
curry powder (sweet and hot both)
black pepper
paprika (sweet and hot)
That's a pretty long list, but I'm sure there are things I've left off that some people consider essential. I'm not really into sweets, so there are lots of things like cinnamon, nutmet, and cloves that aren't essentials for me.
I'm sure there are also plenty of good cooks who don't have all those things. You might like a site called Cooks Thesaurus that gives tips for substituting when you don't have a certain ingredient.
Have fun cooking!

Speaking of Penzey's...has anyone found a spice rack that actually fits the jars that is modern looking and nice???
- November 15, 2007 at 11:18 PM
I just had to comment after stumbling on these pics of your spices. I've always had a pretty reasonable herb/spice collection, but not excessive... until recently. A friend of mine was getting divorced, so I helped her get the house ready to show. One of her bridal showers had been a "spicing", where everyone brought spices. She had a potload of stuff, but never used anything other than salt, pepper and garlic! Not wanting to see unopened spices go to waste, I took her stash.
Fast forward a year... I moved my mom up from Texas to be close to me. She had always been a traditional '50s-era type cook (including baking!), but also liked the occasional cajun or Tex-Mex recipe. Needless to say, she had a respectable spice cabinet. As her dementia increased, she stopped cooking, so I now have all of her spices as well!
I'm going to try your spice mix, as that seems a great way to use up my *multiple* bottles of this-and-that!
Thanks for blogging!

Sisters author children's book based on study of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park
SALISBURY — Some sisters like to run or walk together. Maybe they go shopping or antiquing. Or they might use their time to visit other family members.
When Gail McDiarmid and Marilyn McGee get together, they often dance with the wolves — more specifically, the gray wolves of Yellowstone National Park.
Over the past nine years, the sisters' affection for and research into the wolves of the Northern Rockies blossomed into a children's book, "Running for Home," and their personal efforts to educate others on the ecological importance of bringing back and maintaining wolf populations.
The sisters — McGee is a second-grade teacher in Stokes County; McDiarmid, an employee of Furman University in Greenville, S.C. — will be attending the Simple Living Festival on Saturday at Dan Nicholas Park's Nature Center.
Outside the Nature Center, the women will have an exhibit sharing information on both gray and red wolves. At 1 and 3 p.m., they will be giving programs inside the center.
McGee and McDiarmid have rescued dogs for years, and that was one of the reasons nine years ago, on a summer trip to Yellowstone National Park, they expressed interest in seeing a wolf.
"The one thing we wanted to see the most was a wolf in the wild," McDiarmid recalled.
On their last day, after making connections with wolf watchers, the sisters rose at 4 a.m. and traveled to a spot from which they could see the wolves miles in the distance through a high-powered scope.
McDiarmid said it was a life-changing experience for them.
But the better time to see gray wolves in Yellowstone is in the winter, when the elk migrate into the valley and the wolves follow this main food supply.
McGee and McDiarmid debated at first whether they were equipped to return to Yellowstone in the winter, when temperatures often range from minus 30 to 0 degrees.
But they collected plenty of winter gear, bundled up and made the trip. It paid off handsomely. They were able to see the wolves with their naked eyes — another amazing experience, McDiarmid said.
In years to come, the sisters kept returning to Yellowstone — sometimes twice a year — and learning more about the wolves. They made connections with the Yellowstone Park Foundation, an educational arm of the national park, and met personally with the Yellowstone Wolf Project's lead biologist, Doug Smith.
At first, they were surprised at the outright hatred many locals in the area held for wolves — a fear, the sisters came to believe, based on long-held attitudes and stereotypes, not on science or knowledge of the wolves' importance as natural predators.
The sisters' idea for the children's book eventually took root. If children learned early on how important wolves were to the overal ecosystem, they concluded, maybe the culture could change.
The book was an additional four years in the making. They had to start over at one point with a new illustrator, do the writing and editing and find a publisher, who would recommended more changes.
The authors consider the final product "informational fiction," with everything having a basis in science. But the story is told through the adventures of Chinook, a wolf; Wapiti, an elk; and Mochni, a raven.
McGee and McDiarmid think it's a good read for both children and their parents, as it touches on science and natural history, with a cliff hanger at the end of each chapter.
Every illustrated page, including the cover, has at least one hidden animal for readers to search for.
Sundog Enterprises sells the 74-page "Running for Home" on Amazon.com for $15.95.
"It's been a fabulous journey for the two of us," said McGee, an elementary school teacher for 29 years.
She said the book is geared toward the independent reading level of 8- and 9-year-olds, but she has found some of her second-graders doing well with it.
McGee said she hopes readers will appreciate the layers of complexity to the book and how it touches on disciplines such as ecology, geography, geology, biology and environmental studies, to name a few.
"The book has a lot of teaching opportunities," McGee added.
On a personal note, McGee said the research and writing of a book taught the sisters that if you have a dream, follow it, no matter your age.
"It's never too late to start something new and to keep learning," McGee said.
The sisters think story about the restoration of wolves in the Northern Rockies has important connections to bringing back the red wolf population in North Carolina.
By 1926, wolves had disappeared from the continental United States, and it wasn't until 1995-96 that 31 wolves from Canada were reintroduced and released into Yellowstone, which encompasses some 2.2 million acres.
At the end of 2011, at least 98 wolves in 10 packs, plus two loners occupied Yellowstone National Park, according to the park's website.
But the wolf population on the northern range had declined by about 60 percent since 2007, mostly because of a decline in the elk population. "The interior wolf population has declined less, probably because they augment their diet with bison," the website says.
If you understand the life cycle of the gray wolf, it easily can be translated into what faces the red wolves, which only recently returned to living in the wild in North Carolina, thanks to the Alligator River Wildlife Refuge.
Red wolves have been reintroduced into five northeastern N.C. counties, but the numbers are low, and they are "the most critically endangered species" in North Carolina, McDiarmid said.
On Saturday, the sisters will be in a tent outside Dan Nicholas Park's red wolf habitat. The park has what the women would call "ambassador" wolves, used for educational purposes.
McGee and McDiarmid will have copies of "Running for Home" for sale.
