MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN, THE - DVD review
"The Muppet Show" was structured like an old vaudeville show. It featured opening and closing production numbers on stage, with a number of short "acts" and sketches in-between. Two cynical old men sitting in an opera box even provided off-handed remarks—the equivalent of an audience response that, in the old days, sometimes included booing or chucking tomatoes. And like "The Muppet Movie" (1979), the 1984 entry from Jim Henson Productions, "The Muppets Take Manhattan," combines near stand-alone scenes with a narrative thread that's quintessentially show-biz: the dream of "making it."
This outing, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the whole Muppet gang (even the "Sesame St." Muppets make a brief cameo appearance) have put together and performed a show for their small town that's so well received that they decide to take it on the road. So they go to the Big Apple to try to sell the idea to a Broadway producer. Of course, their first stop and subsequent hang-out is the same as for any struggling actor or writer trying to make it in New York: a coffee shop and diner. At Pete's Luncheonette they get a free meal and a home base—that is, until failure after failure makes Kermit so edgy that he pulls a Cool Hand Luke on his friends ("Stop leaning on me!") and they all split for different gigs and locations. Scooter, for example, becomes an usher at a movie theater where the Swedish Chef works the popcorn and refreshment counter, Miss Piggy ends up at a department perfume counter where she ends up doing a funny bit with fellow counter worker Joan Rivers, Dr. Teeth winds up playing in a bingo parlor oompah band for old folks, Gonzo turns up in a water skiing show, and Fozzie just decides to hibernate.
That leaves Kermit regretting the remark that drove them off and feeling even more discouraged than ever—until Pete (Louis Zorich) gives him a job and Pete's daughter, Jenny (Juliana Donald), becomes his friend and gives him hope. Not even a case of accident-related frog amnesia or Jenny-inspired pig jealousy can keep Kermit from finally interesting a Broadway producer (Art Carney)—make that his son (Lonny Price)—in "Manhattan Melodies" and rounding up the gang again to pull it off.
As with "The Muppet Show," there's a gaggle of celebrity guest stars who take these little furball puppets seriously, in mostly comic bits. Besides Rivers, Dabney Coleman appears in a particularly funny sketch as a bogus producer who takes Gonzo and one of the chickens hostage when police try to arrest him. He's as convincingly hilarious as the beleaguered sexist boss he played in "9 to 5." Liza Minelli plays herself in a scene where the indignant actress foils Kermit and the rats "whisper campaign" to create a buzz for "Manhattan Melodies" at Sardi's. Gregory Hines is a Central Park roller skater whose wheels are commandeered by Miss Piggy after a purse-snatching. Elliot Gould and Brooke Shields turn up as a cop and customer at Pete's, James Coco plays a kissy-face pet pamperer, and Linda Lavin guests as a doctor who tends to Kermit. The appearances—including a cameo from then-mayor Ed Koch—are welcome, particularly because the songs this outing are surprisingly forgettable.
For a musical, "The Muppets Take Manhattan" features a remarkably ordinary collection of songs, with nothing memorable like "Rainbow Connection" to keep you humming after the end credits role. And for a show that builds to a Broadway opening, the ending is also oddly compressed and distorted. When the curtain finally rises and the gang gets what they want, a single not particularly grand production number morphs into a wedding on stage, with Miss Piggy finally tricking Kermit to the altar.
Other than those disappointments, "The Muppets Take Manhattan" is a fun romp that retains part of the structure and all of the characters, style, and tone of the original television show, with Henson bringing Kermit, Rowlf, Dr. Teeth, the Swedish Chef, and Waldorf (one of the curmudgeons) to life, Frank Oz handling Miss Piggy, Fozzie, and Animal, Dave Goelz doing Gonzo, Chester Rat, Bill Frog, and Zoot, Steve Whitmire handling Rizzo the Rat and Gil Frog, Richard Hunt doing Scooter, Janice, and Statler (the other curmudgeon), and Jerry Nelson handling Camilla, Lew Zealand, and Floyd the hip musician.
"The Muppets Take Manhattan" is available singly or in a new bargain-priced 3-pack that includes the excellent "Kermit's Swamp Years" and "Muppets From Space."
Video: Fans can choose from a 1.85:1 aspect or 1.33:1 pan-and-scan option, and the picture quality is very good—sharp colors and little to no graininess.
Audio: The soundtrack is nothing special—a Dolby digital 2.0 Mono in English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese, with subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai. The sound was transferred at a lower level than many discs, but at least the voices are natural, not muffled or distorted in any other way.
Extras: Though there aren't a lot of extras, and what there is has been annoyingly broken up to make the offerings look more substantial without the benefit of a "play all" option, it's an absolute archival gem to have Henson on camera talking about the characters he brings to life and the film for which he served as executive producer—and poignant, given Henson's premature death by pneumonia. This Gentle man tells how "Kermit is very much my own voice" and demonstrates how, just by tightening his throat muscles, it can go a little higher, into amphibian range. It's a wonderful interview, but irritating to have it broken up into 14 sections, some of them so short that it feels like just a few sentences. At least give us a play-all feature! Aside from three trailers, the only other extras are "Muppetisms," which are basically three-minute schticks from Fozzie, Miss Piggy, and Pepe the Shrimp.
Bottom Line: Except for a disappointing soundtrack and a hurried ending, "The Muppets take Manhattan" is a respectable entry from Jim Henson Productions. The human-Muppet interaction is fun because the live actors treat the puppets like peers, not inanimate objects, and Donald brings the same kind of warmth to the screen as the women on "Sesame St."

[I]f game theory teaches us anything, it's that relationships aren't about having it all, they're about having all you can under the circumstances.
This guy I was "talking to" just randomly stopped talking to me. I miss him but I know it's over. What are some ways to get over him? I'm really hurt.
Find a new guy to "talk to" and have "lots of really long, interesting, and insightful conversations." You could also always get a bucket of ice cream and watch really bad rom-coms for a few days. That's well within your rights.

Look, this is not an in-your-face moment towards any of you, but rather towards the many exams I have failed on the South Campus since September. (All the Engineering, Computer Science, Math, Science classes are South Campus at UCLA. All the Literature, History, Language, etc classes are North Campus.)
This is the first South Campus exam where I've gotten above a 63, let alone an "A". North Campus exams, no problem, but Southie, oh how I love you and want to do well on your exams. I hope to be a repeat offender of this beautiful exam score.
(OK, I know this is a class that most of my CS classmates took in 10th grade, but yahoo! I've broken the bad-s.campus-exam-taking trend here. This is something I can actually turn into the UCLA Test Bank to get another practice exam!)

The men's hockey team was in action at home the weekend of Spirit Day. On Friday, Yale defeated RPI in overtime by a score of 3-2. But the evening was still made special for fans as Gerry Knightely '65 was inducted into the RPI Hockey Ring of Honor. Big Red Freakout on Saturday saw fans celebrating the achievements of the 1964 Frozen Four team on the 50th anniversary of their accomplishment. RPI defeated Brown 4-1 in the Freakout game, closing out Spirit Weekend in fine style.

Our first of many trips of the year to MM was great as we had hoped. The campground was buzzing with Spring, and we can't wait till the first week in July when we return and the pool will be open!

Although we were there during Spring Break, the campground was relatively quiet. The ocean was a 3 block walk and enjoyed by us and our dog. We had a great site and good neighbors, who were friendly. Looking forward to another stay next year!

As our home away from home, MM continues to be a great place. The office staff is attentive and friendly, the sites are large, and the trails are challanging, but a healthy walk. We were in site A1 this last visit, and enjoyed being in the woods, even though we really enjoy the sites on the "Hill" with the view of the valley! We will return on 6/19, and look forward to the pool and the weekend outdoor movie.

2012 was the year where I flipped the switch, and realized how terribly I was treating my body. So I quit smoking, joined the gym, and started a healthier diet. Since then I developed a chronic passion for food. Please be warned that this new lifestyle dominates this space quite a bit :)

He's right of course. Unfortunately, this year, the idiots who don't think Greg Maddux deserves to be a first-ballot inductee have plausible deniability. Because the ballot is so stocked with worthy candidates, and because Maddux is a shoe-in for induction, there will likely be several people leaving Maddux off for strategic purposes. Specifically, to throw votes to guys who may be at risk of falling below 5% and thus off the ballot. I personally wouldn't vote that way. Such game theory usually requires others to act rationally…

In 14 days from Chamonix to Zermatt
The pictures to walk you will find at the bottom of this article.
Even on our trip we planned this walk, so to speak, as a grand finale. She is known as " Walker's Haute Route "and is among the most beautiful hikes in Europe. The route takes in 14 days of 'Chamonix' to 'Zermatt'. In other words, from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, below the ten highest peaks in the Alps. The hike promises immersion in a world of glaciers, towering snow-capped mountains, green Alptälern a variety of mountain flowers and villages like in the picture. And indeed, as we saw it too! We could not follow the whole original route because of the higher passes still too much snow lay from harsh winter. Therefore we remained flexible and searched anticipated for alternatives.
(All pictures can be enlarged by clicking)
After two weeks at home we packed our backpack again. But we were still quite familiar. It was funny rather to take the clothes suddenly from one closet. We made our way into the center of mountaineering in France: 'Chamonix'. The place is stormed by tourists who either enjoy one of the many street cafes raclette or are in full gear as walkers go. The latter included also we. The weather was not great, but we could have a look at the Glacier des Bossons catch. The glacier comes directly from the Mont Blanc. Our first stage was short: In about two hours we reached the campground in 'Argentière'. This is done by an Englishman, anyway, it seemed to have only English. The Tour de Mont Blanc , another well-known hike, is very popular among them.
The road took us further towards Switzerland. The first pass was to Coercive the 'Col de Balme' (2204 m asl). The backpack felt heavy on the rise. In addition, we were surprised by the first rain. But we were well equipped and did not let us keep you from moving on. The descent was steep, but the views of the Trient made it easier: He was very impressive with its size and how it flows beautifully into the valley, gorgeous! With the arrival in 'Trento' we had already left France and were back in Switzerland. In our guide book (incidentally, written by an Englishman), it was said the shopping in 'Trent' "limited opening times" would. The fact that the shop but closed all day, which we did not expect. With a little improvisation and nice questions we were finally able to buy a pack "Hörndli" in the restaurant and had so dinner and breakfast!
The next pass took us to the 'Alp Bovine'. The location of this Alp is phenomenal! With the nice weather we had almost 360 degree views to the beautiful Rhone Valley. We preferred a quiet grass cookie instead of the crowded terrace of the Alp for our lunch stop. After a hard descent we enjoyed a beer in the sun: For those moments worth the effort! We stayed in 'Champex', a nest on a small lake. After many carbs for supper we made ourselves comfortable on the lake and enjoyed the sunset.
The following stage took us through 'Le Chable' to 'Verbier'. The rise in the blazing heat was particularly hard. After investigations in the InfoCenter it was clear that we will no longer follow the original route of the 'Haute Route' from here. The roads were not yet officially released in part and we definitely did not want to take a risk. Thanks to a tip of the tourist information in Verbier we found our perfect place to sleep: A barbecue on Verbier including fountain! So we covered ourselves with a grilled meat and white wine and took the last 400 meters in attack. With cold white wine, torch Spiess we left the day before the fire fade sitting and gave our muscles a well-deserved rest.
We followed the cable car up to the terminus. We reached a pleasant mountain trail the pass named 'Col des Mines'. After descending the path went along the old water pipes . In the German-speaking Upper Valais glad they 'irrigation channels', in the Lower Valais (French) 'bite'. We could only marvel at this ancient irrigation system! When you consider how much work is behind it and how dangerous it was also to establish this and to entertain. It was always pleasant to be able to follow the water, on the one hand, the tendency was never extreme and we felt and as witnesses of a piece of Valais history. The expectations of our target were obviously much too high. The place 'Siviez', also known as Super-Nendaz, made a very dismal impression on us. In winter, when it is busy, it may be different. But we felt already restored almost to Russia with this big, the collapse of the nearby apartment blocks ... A supermarket there was not. So we looked for a nice spot by the stream and contented ourselves with all that the backpack had to edibles to offer.
Along the 'bite' they went on about 'Veysonnaz' to 'Vex'. This village we liked most. It seemed really intact with a village shop, a pool, a butcher and several restaurants. No comparison to the tourist villages on the way, the downright sleep with their empty apartments in the summer. A cozy campsite would have made the stay perfect ... If it were combined with lightning and thunder have been ... At the right moment we were in the dry and enjoyed our spaghetti therefore even more not only the heavy rain.
The walk took us past the impressive pyramids of Euseigne. The pyramids are one of the most famous natural monuments of Eringertales and the Valais. Only we did not know before. The pyramids are impressive 10-15 meters high! You have arisen through lengthy geological processes and inevitably go against a natural decay. It is worthwhile to visit this soon yet! We managed to climb to 'St. Martin 'just before the heavy rain began. To bridge we made ourselves in the restaurant with hot chocolate cozy. The rain and wanted but did not stop. So we trotted going anyway and found a hilarious "accommodation": An open wooden hut next to a petanque field. So we did not have our tent set up in the wet and had yet a dry place for cooking.
The weather was lucky us the next day absolutely not hold. It was raining lightly at the start and then went over in thunderstorms. Not ideal to cross a pass. We had no other choice than to wait in the forest and count the seconds between lightning and thunder, so we know when we are safe again. A hot stock then awakened our spirits again. We were strengthened and were able to 'Col de Cou' now even cope without rain. The sight after the pass reminded us of New Zealand: Pure ... except a few sheep nothing to see Nature! Gorgeous! In 'Vissoie' arrived we bought the cheese on your mood, swelled potatoes and enjoyed beer and wine. We had also earned us so right!
The next day we had time to make the village 'Vissoie' to explore. It is true urchig walliserisch with the wooden houses and the beautiful stone church. But the next goal uphill was worth seeing: 'St. Luc 'with an almost dreamy mood and a village square out of a picture book. Unfortunately the weather deteriorated again, but we were again lucky to get the tent up before the rain. We chose a campsite next to the 'Lac Combavert'. An idyllic mountain lake. The rapid change of weather a real spectacle was offered to us this evening. Alternately, rain, fog and sun. Each TV program would be boring about it!
The 'Meidpass' was our next destination. The climb was fortunately not very steep, but constant. And the effort was rewarded with a beautiful view! In addition, our private air show was offered. To this day we do not know what it was exactly. Two Swiss fighter jets practiced any maneuvers over our heads. Because of the location, we were surrounded by mountains, the noise was deafening. The fascination grabbed us anyway, at least David. We met then in a long time other hikers and the best part was we were able to talk in Swiss German with them! Namely, we reached the first German city: 'pits'. Here we enjoyed the first time a food away. And we were not disappointed! A super cheese cuts inspired us already to go a ways towards the next pass. The rain messed up our plan but then. We could set up our tent near a hut just as the rain insets. At this time we did not know that he does not stop until the morning and it was less than four clock in the afternoon. The first time we had to cook in the rain and then crept away back in the tent.
Because the weather forecast promised better weather, we let us awaken to the sunrise at 05.40 clock. This has then also very worth it. We quickly packed up everything and went. The 'Augstbordpass' (2897 m asl) once again provided us with a great view. But what awaited us after two hours exceeded this: The view the Matter with the glacier right in front of us, Bern (former ski resort of David) and over high mountains as far as the eye ranged! Moreover talked funny mountain goats with their long shaggy hair and the curved horns. After a steep descent, we reached 'St. Niklaus'. As there was no campground and we had a shower once again needed, we moved further upwards until after 'Niedergrächen', where we expected the perfect campground. We were able to cook, hot shower and even wash our laundry in one machine!
It was followed by the first day of recovery. However, the walking time was just under two hours to 'Gas Ried'. There we found a nice place to stay. The "Raiffeisen Roost" was luxuriously equipped with two fireplaces, a fountain and benches. We bought spontaneously in the "consumption" steak and white wine and made us a nice evening. We had to be strengthened for the next day, because a hard climb stood before us.
During the night it rained again. When we had the biggest rise behind us, we spread out the wet tent to dry and enjoyed the view of the Bernese Alps and the Matter. We were for the last two days on the European path . It is the Königsettappe the "Tour Monte Rosa", and is sold as a high point in the lives of all nature lovers and hikers, even as the most beautiful mountain trail in the Alps. And he actually offers a lot: The many glaciers, lush meadows filled with alpine flowers, the narrow paths that are making through the rocks ... and yet we were not always well. Through the permafrost of the whole mountain seems to be in motion. There are warning signs on rocks and we also heard such. If you look at what can cause the natural, one is a bit "queasy". Thanks to the adrenaline you are but then at certain points also very quick! The main attraction of the road, a 250m long suspension bridge that was destroyed by rockfall. Geologists have been no clear for this area. That is why the future of this bridge, or perhaps all the way, still in the stars. The path leads due to the absence of the bridge almost to the village 'Randa' down and then everything up until it flows back again into the original European path. Exactly on this "detour" we had a very nice meeting. We were in search of drinking water and discovered a well between several mountain huts. Fortunately, just four people there and we were looking for a place for our tent asking. We wanted to go to sleep when one of them showed up and invited us to a little drink in her hut. We were thrilled and enjoyed the conversations in the cozy wooden cabin with beer and freshly baked Aprikosenwähe, what a luxury!
On the last day of the hike we got the Matterhorn for the first time to face cloudless! We agreed: This is the most beautiful mountain we have! As impressive as it towers over the valley! With the Matterhorn in mind, we took the last leg in attack. Now the way was again more populated. It was a pleasant mountain trail, which can be reached by train from Zermatt even. Happy and proud to have made all the way from 'Chamonix' to 'Zermatt' with muscle strength, we reached our destination. To top off Roger Federer won Wimbledon this evening, which still gave us another reason to celebrate. On a simple camping in the middle of 'Zermatt' we made ourselves comfortable and rebounded us first once. We enjoyed the time with drinks, fondue on the camping stove and even Raclette à discretion in the restaurant. On the day of departure we got a visit from Karin's sisters and their grandmother. We spent the day together and traveled together back home.
The two weeks on migration were sometimes very hard, exhausting, challenging, tiring but also fulfilling, impressive and just beautiful, it has to offer a nature! All around a successful end to our trip!
Enjoy the summer as we sincerely and be greeted!

Wild-Red Wings Preview 1-25-13

Sports Fan Insider
(AP) — Less than a week into the season, the Detroit Red Wings have already felt the effects from the retirements of two of the franchise's most successful players.
Thin on defensemen and scoreless on the power play, the Red Wings look to bounce back from their latest defeat by trying to continue their home success against the Minnesota Wild on Friday night.
Tomas Holmstrom played all 15 of his NHL seasons in Detroit, and along with seven-time Norris Trophy winner Nicklas Lidstrom was a staple on the Red Wings' power-play unit. Lidstrom often helped set up Holmstrom, who positioned himself in front of the net to score 141 of his 289 career goals – including the playoffs – on the man advantage. All but one of Holmstrom's 11 goals last season came on the power-play.

Bonheur du Jour: Writing Desks
The Bonhuer du Jour was the eighteenth century's version of small space style. Literally translated as "daytime delight," it was a small ladies' writing desk that became popular in France in the mid-1700s. The lightweight design had storage compartments built along the top back part of the desk (as shown in this Louis XV reproduction from DecoFinder). The slim lines have inspired many contemporary designers. Click below for some more recent takes on the Bonhuer du Jour...
• Eric Pfeiffer Offi Window Desk, $700 at Design Public
• George Nelson Swag Leg Desk, $1,799 at DWR
• Michael Young Writing Desk, $9,790 at Matter
• Eric Pfeiffer Offi Wave Desk, $599 at Vivavi

Chiasso had a desk a little while ago that looked exactly like the Offi desk, only in white. It was so cute--I've been looking everywhere for it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
one of my favorite furniture types -- and one of my favorite pieces of furniture
I have one from the 1920s that was my mother's as a young woman. She never used it, kept all her nice stationery and cards her kids made in it. I love to use it -- it sits in my front hall as my "landing strip". It's narrow enough not to crowd the space, and has drawers to tuck away stamps, checkbook, paperclips, etc.

At the core of the "surge" strategy is the notion that once U.S. troops clear a particularly hostile patch of Iraq, the Iraqi army and police will move in to maintain order. But senior American officers are now raising serious doubts about Iraqi forces' ability to take over.
BAGHDAD (AP)—American military commanders now seriously doubt that Iraqi security forces will be able to hold the ground that U.S. troops are fighting to clear - gloomy predictions that strike at the heart of Washington's key strategy to turn the tide in Iraq.
Several senior American officers have warned in recent days that Iraqi soldiers and police are still incapable of maintaining security on their own in the most crucial areas, including Baghdad and the recently reclaimed districts around Baqouba to the north.
Iraqi units are supposed to be moving into position to take the baton from the Pentagon. This was the backbone of the plan President Bush announced in January when he ordered to five more U.S. brigades, or about 30,000 soldiers, to Iraq. The goal is to reduce the violence to a level where the Iraqis can cope so that Americans can begin to go home.

MOON JONGUP: he is my favourite member because he is literally the most adorable human being ever! he has the cutest puppy smile and whenever he does smile i just wanna pinch his cheeks and hug him so tight and never let go. his personality is my favourite amongst the members, not that theres anything wrong with the others it's just jongup is just so shy and quiet, which is very similar to myself. although he can be awkward and silent at times, that all completely changes as soon as he goes onto stage which i really love about him. he becomes really confident and he really shines bright. he is a really talented dancer, and i can't help but smile when he dances. even though he has an unhealthy obsession with chris brown, he is still my cute little perfect prince and that's why he's my favourite member ^^ …i would write more but i think ive embarrassed myself enough ok goodbye
"Suteki da ne?," RIKKI - Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack
"Regarding the theme song, my first concern was to find someone to sing it. The Asian-inspired theme [of the game's setting] had nothing to do with the choice, but since I was personally interested in Okinawan music my staff and I looked at various CDs of that particular region. That's when one staff member found some CDs by Rikki. I had never heard a voice quite like hers and I contacted her immediately. After that, I had the chance to visit her hometown of Amami Ooshima and meet her several times."
-Nobuo Uematsu
"Our manager brought us [Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano] one of Rikki's albums, and after just one listen, we unanimously decided she was the only singer for us. Rikki really gets Yuna's personality across…The scriptwriters got their inspiration from Rikki's singing, so the game flows from her voice…I'd say I like the main theme ["Suteki da ne?"] the best, followed by the opening theme ["Zanarkand"], and then "Blitzball" [composed by Masashi Hamauzu] third."
-Nobuo Uematsu
"One day, one of our staff let me listen to Miss You Amami, Rikki's album released on an indie label. The album is a masterpiece, and her voice is amazing on that album; that's what made me choose her. It would be nice if more of this type of remarkable Japanese music were released overseas."

The concept behind a detox diet should be nothing more than an eating plan that will aid the body to achieve balance by consuming foods that have alkalizing and astringent properties within the body. There is really nothing extraordinary about what a detox diet entails – it is just a diet that we are anatomically and physiologically designed to eat. Essentially, it's a diet that we should consume every day of our lives so that the natural processes of the body will all be in order to maintain good health.
Based on the design of our body, we are frugivores. This is evidenced in the newest archeological findings of our origination being in the tropics where fruit is abundant. A frugivore differs from a fruitarian in that the latter eats nothing but fruit, whereas, a frugivore eats about 80% fruit, 15% greens and 5% nuts and seeds. Most people will think that to follow this diet would be such a radical change. But, we must understand that the diet that we eat today is radical for the systems in our body!
Throughout many, many years, the human race has veered from this diet due to varying factors. This change has left us more vulnerable to disease. The majority of the population on this planet, especially "westernized" civilization, have drastically changed their eating habits to either an omnivorous or herbivorous diet. Noteworthy, those few who eat a frugivore diet are the epitome of health!
Nonetheless, there are many of us who have lived our lives eating a SAD diet (Standard American Diet) – full of acid-producing foods, that wreak havoc on the body. If we understand what acidosis of the body will do and how it puts such a major stress on all of our organs and systems, it will then be realized that to follow an alkaline, detox diet would be a wise choice in improving our health.
Check out our powerful Detox Kits
that will kick your detox into much deeper levels!
Some may view this type of diet as going against the grain of what we are lead to believe. We have been told to eat balanced meals consisting of all of the food groups in appropriate proportions so that we will lose weight and be healthy. Some may even believe that all of what is stated here is nonsense. And, most companies/persons that sell detox products or programs will proclaim that a detox diet should only be undertaken for a short period of time. I'm waiting to hear of the miraculous reversal of dis-ease that takes place by following these guidelines! (I'll be waiting a long time, for sure.) You will not be treating dis-ease or anything for that matter – you will be correcting the root issues that cause any symptoms that may be present in your life!
The picture is so much wider and deeper. We need to start thinking outside of the box of the "norm" and really take responsibility of our own health by finally coming to realize the truths that have been held from us!

Founded more than ten years ago and with our main office now in Los Angeles, Scarlet Wheels now offers wheel styles for most performance, luxury vehicles and sport truck applications. Unlike most brands that tend to specialize in manufacturing aftermarket wheels for either luxury cars or trucks, Scarlet Luxury Wheels has always adopted a more all-encompassing stance and even caters to SUVs to a certain degree. All Scarlet wheels now incorporate a band of scarlet within the interior of the wheel itself.

The Scarlet Red Soul Edition is comprised of wheel designs that are meant for luxury and performance cars while the Scarlet Cruiser Edition is intended for luxury trucks as well as SUVs. Due to the different applications of both of these lines, the sizes that are available tend to differ between them and by separating two lines, Scarlet Luxury Wheels hopes that potential customers will be able to find the wheels that they require more easily than in the past.
Scarlet Luxury Wheels still retains its commitment to providing excellent quality wheels. So far, the brand's efforts in introducing itself into the luxury aftermarket wheel industry seems to be bearing fruit. I's hard to predict how the brand will do in the long term, especially considering the fickle nature of the market itself, but for the time being, it's growing and expanding at an impressive rate. Already Scarlet Luxury Wheels has new and innovative styles waiting to be released, which may further tilt the scales in favor of the brand.

Bought these rims for my 2005 Escalade and they look great, material is good and the looks are even better. They certainly look a lot more expensive than what I paid for them.
| Posted by Dejan | (Parma Heights, OH)
I got it on in about 25 minutes rides beautifully love the inner red of the rim flows nicely with my car, many compliments and for the price it is definitely recommended.
Wow!!! I bought 20s for my new ride but I am a little leary about tires. But Scarlet wheels are hot! Definitely like these better than the old wheels. 20's are so cool for my taste, just because the car sits kind of high.
My dad had these and had no problems. I think the wheels look good... Better in 19s, but these should still play with the right drop/stance. Any 18''+ wheels need the drop to look right.
I like both SW7 and SW1, but prefer SW7 on my Mustang... I love the concave effect on the rears. I do agree about the tiny rear discs... I suffer the same effect with my Shelby SW7.
In my opinion, they look very nice. I am sure they would complement my car. I've never had any problems with any other aftermarket wheels. I've had American Racing, now Scarlet, and never had a single issue. I keep the car in a garage every night and clean them at least one a week using just soap and water and a microfiber towel.
| Posted by Douglas | (Las Vegas, NV)
I have these wheels on my 06 M35 Sport for approx 2 months. The wheels are in good condition and not bent. Only a few small imperfections on one of the front wheels. There are no paint chips on the faces of the wheels. The matte black is in good condition. My car is always garaged and the wheels have been well kept.

"Jest because a bug goes about his business hummin' is no sign he's a humbug. Take the wasp for instance. Wasps is about the humminest bugs you ever see, but believe me they sure deliver the goods . . . an they get a hot line too, now haint they?" So says "Ranger Bill."
"Bees" are about the best known insect in the park with the exception of the mosquito and the deer fly. Although very little is actually known about them. Very little, that is, aside from the fact that they lie in wait long the mossy forest trails for plodding unsuspecting pack outfits and cause otherwise slow, easy-going horses to become raving maniacs broadcasting their riders or their packs all over the landscape, and also that they sometimes attact people as well as horses, especially if the people are in the company of horses.
They are especially quarrelsome in the late fall after they have gone into winter quarters in the ground, (or perhaps it is because we are more likely to be traveling the trails on horseback at this time of the year) - and horses are their particular antipathy.
The wild bee, or wasp, was the original inventor of paper. He manufactured deckle-edge, wood-pulp, paper ages before the Egyptians discovered the "papyrus" of the Nile or the Chinese (if it was the Chinese), invented the paper of commerce, and he lived in a paper house while the paper-house-building Japanese were still Chinese.
These globular paper wasp houses range in dimensions from the size of a crab apple to that of a large water pail, and are usually hung from the branch of a tree in the open. Other (or perhaps it is the same variety at other seasons of the year) prefer hollow trees, hollow logs or even holes in the ground as places of comicile.
Recently the Caretaker of the Paradise Camp Ground picked up a tin can ... it is his business to pick up tin cans and he finds many of them each day; but this can, aside from the fact that its outward appearance was very much the same as that of any other tin can of its size and shape, was quite different. It was the home of scores of hot-headed, yellow-jacketed, wasps; and the Caretaker laid it down again...but not in time.
And speaking of "Bees" reminds me of another bear story.

Tonight's viewing Cidade De Deus.
I haven't seen this film since 6th form, which could possibly be six or seven years ago. It was probably the first film to kick start my love for foreign cinema.
Our film studies teacher introduced the class to the film as part of our 2nd year curriculum, I loved it that much that I went out and bought it on DVD. A DVD that I later lent to a friend and sadly never got back :(
Tonight I'm introducing it to someone for the first time, I've hyped it up so much to her that I really hope I haven't set the bar of expectation too high.
I also hope it's just as good as I remember, I have every faith it will be.

Loud booming sounds heard in Abilene area result of Dyess AFB training exercises
