This Post Won't Be Nearly As Good As This Band
This is the Youngblood Brass Band, who I'm listening to right now as I write this post. Yeah, they're pretty awesome.
Gary Vaynerchuk Does It Again
I don't know how he does it, but Gary Vaynerchuk always seems to be a step ahead of the rest of the social media world. In his latest video he makes a compelling argument about why the words "social media" are doing social media more harm than good.
One Thing From One Thing To See
I've posted a lot of great stuff on One Thing To See recently, but this video is the one that I just can't stop watching.
There's A First Time For Everything
We taped the first episode of our new sports talk show today at Comedy.com. Despite some serious audio problems for the first 25 minutes, it went pretty well for a first time. Skip past the first 25 minutes, and check it out.
The Comedy MVP List
In a recent mailbag, Bill Simmons broke down his own personal Comedy MVP list of the last 35 years. It's all great and you should go read it, but here's an excerpt:
1979: Robin Williams, Steve Martin (tie)
"Mork and Mindy" plus a big stand-up career for Williams; "The Jerk" plus a best-selling comedy album plus "official best SNL host ever" status for Martin.
1980: Rodney Dangerfield
His breakout year with "Caddyshack," killer stand-up, killer Carson appearances, a Grammy-winning comedy album, even a Rolling Stone cover. Our oldest winner.
1981: Bill Murray
Carried "Stripes" one year after "Caddyshack." Tough year for comedy with cocaine was ruining nearly everybody at this point.
1982-84: Eddie Murphy
The best three-year run anyone has had. Like Bird's three straight MVPs. And by the way, "Beverly Hills Cop" is still the No. 1 comedy of all time if you use adjusted gross numbers.
(Random note: Sam Kinison's 1984 spot on Dangerfield's "Young Comedians" special has to be commemorated in some way. At the time, it was the funniest six minutes that had ever happened, and it could have single-handedly won him the title in almost any other year. It's also the hardest I have ever laughed without drugs being involved. Sadly, I can't link to it because of the language and because it crosses about 35 lines of decency. But it's easily found, if you catch my drift.)
1985-86: David Letterman
Went from "cult hero" to "established mainstream star," ushered in the Ironic Comedy Era, pushed the comedy envelope as far as it could go, and if you want to dig deeper, supplanted Carson as the den father for that generation of up-and-comers and new superstars (Murphy, Leno, Seinfeld, Michael Keaton, Tom Hanks, Howard Stern, etc.) … and, on a personal note, had a bigger influence on me than anyone other than my parents. One of two people I could never meet because I would crumble like a crumb cake. (You can guess the other.)
"Product Is The New Marketing"
Mitch Joel strikes again with another interesting observation about the state of the marketing biz in this post. Here's an excerpt:
Last night Jeff Bezos (founder and CEO of Amazon) was on Charlie Rose to discuss the latest iteration of the e-book reader, Kindle (you can watch the conversation right here). While reading Bob Lefsetz tonight, I came across this quote that Bezos said to Rose during the conversation:
"Before if you were making a product, the right business strategy was to put 70% of your attention, energy, and dollars into shouting about a product, and 30% into making a great product. So you could win with a mediocre product, if you were a good enough marketer. That is getting harder to do. The balance of power is shifting toward consumers and away from companies…the individual is empowered… The right way to respond to this if you are a company is to put the vast majority of your energy, attention and dollars into building a great product or service and put a smaller amount into shouting about it, marketing it. If I build a great product or service, my customers will tell each other."
The Best Documentary I've Seen About LA
Last week I stumbled across this PBS documentary about Los Angeles and the role that the Los Angeles Times and the Chandler family played in its growth. Pretty interesting stuff.

The research that happens at the ADRC is entirely dependent upon volunteers who are willing to participate in projects along side us. There are many different levels of participation, from once a year appointment through our research registry to donating spinal fluid through a lumbar puncture, to involvement in current studies. Our center is looking for a variety of people who are willing to partner with us in Alzheimer's research.
Benefits of volunteering in research:
- Free yearly follow-up examinations from dementia experts
- Access to new experimental medication (however, some people may take placebo, an inactive substance, instead of the experimental medications)
- Treatment recommendations that can be made to your doctor from clinicians at the ADRC
- Contributing to research efforts that are looking for new treatments and possible preventions for Alzheimer's disease
- Updates on the latest research efforts on Alzheimer's and other dementias
We are looking to enroll volunteers who have:
- No memory complaints
- Some memory concerns
- Mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
- A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
- A diagnosis of other dementias
- A family history of Alzheimer's disease
In addition to fitting into one of the groups listed above, people who are interested in becoming involved must live at home (rather than in a nursing home) and must have a close family member, friend, or neighbor who can answer questions about how the research participant is doing on a day-to-day basis.

Rehoboth police get new uniforms
Rehoboth Beach — Rehoboth Beach police officers are sporting a new look; their traditional light blue uniforms have been ditched in favor of new, black and green threads.
The new uniforms come with black shirts, olive green pants with a black stripe and a black hat. The badges have been redesigned along with the shoulder patch, which depicts a lighthouse in a diamond configuration, a nod to one of Delaware's nicknames coined by Thomas Jefferson, The Diamond State. Full-time officers began wearing the new uniforms March 4.
Chief Keith Banks said seasonal officers – who patrol on bicycle – will have a variation on the basic uniform, with black and green polo-style shirts with shorts, which will be more practical for them.
Banks said the department will also phase in new cars that will also be black, matching the color scheme of the uniforms.
The idea of new uniforms started as a request by the nighttime officers to have a uniform that differentiated them from the daytime and seasonal officers, Banks said. The other officers also supported a change in uniforms, and the city put $45,000 in the 2012-13 budget for the uniforms.
The selection of the colors, Banks said, was determined through meetings between the Rehoboth police and their union.

08/24/2009, South-west Peloponnese, Greece
We left Sicily in the afternoon to catch the 9 p.m. current in the Straits of Messina. Then we traversed the 40 n.m. we had to go to catch the current. It was a challenging strait. As we were going down it, several freighters were coming up it. In the midst of avoiding the freighters, we caught something on our propeller that made the engine throb. So we turned off the engine and resorted to sailing for awhile. But eventually the engine was turned back on to avoid more freighters (at a low R.P.M.). We then motor-sailed until day at which point we were through the straits and a nice breeze was building. That held all the way through 'till sometime at night. We motored 'till the morning when the breeze picked up again and continued to build.
The wind leveled out to a 15 to 20 knot breeze (we had the spinnaker up by then). I got nervous and woke my dad up. I found out at that point that we were headed about 20╦© low of our destination. When my dad went up to our supposed-to-be course we ended up reaching at 9 knots with a spinnaker up!! Eventually the wind died down and when I woke up in the morning we were motoring (again).
Sticking to the pattern, the wind piped up in the afternoon along with huge waves. We had 15 knots of breeze and waves meant for 25 to 30 knots. Then we proceeded to play a game of Scrabble®. Seventeen n.m. out of our anchorage we ended our game and sailed most of the remaining way to our anchorage.
It was a big relief getting here. We just completed our last major passage for a long time. We plan to stay here another day to check out the ruins of a Castle and go food shopping.
08/04/2009, Palmanova, Mallorca
After Ibiza we went and sailed around to Mallorca. It was a 60-70 n.m. trip so we had a long day ahead. My Dad left at 6:30 a.m. without me (of course I was still on board. I didn't want to confuse you.) in 15 knots of breeze. We sailed until I got up and the wind died (I wonder if I'm bad luck!'ü"). We proceeded to try to sail 'til the jib made out if iron, steel, and other various assorted metals (namely a motor) was put up. But we hadn't filled up with diesel in Ibiza (it was .96 Ō'¼ per liter, 1 ┬ó more than here) so we were wondering when the engine would quit. We had the jerry jugs full of diesel from Charleston so we emptied those into the tank. Fortunately the engine didn't quit. We got to Mallorca at sunset.
Right now we are in an anchorage near Palmanova (which in turn is near to Palma). It is a fairly protected anchorage but luckily (as the title mentions) we are not rolling. There is a beach nearby along with some development. Along with the beach came the usual inhabitants of the anchorage - jet skis, small dinghies, large dinghies, HUGE inflatable boats, weird round boats, and the anchorers themselves. So, judging by all the boats around here you might guess at there being a wake. Well, guess what! You're right! There's wake generated by them and the racers.
Speaking of racers, the King was in town racing in the MedCup race today. There were probably 100-200 boats out there. The King was on one of them. They churned up the water so much that it created a confused sea even out here! It was fun to watch the spinnakers all going down the course with all of the cool different color combinations. What reminded me of this was a big, grey catamaran with the words, "Audi MedCup Circuit" on it in big words.
What inspired the title is the fact that in every anchorage that is not fully protected our boat turn sideways to the waves. Those waves made the boat roll up and down, up and down, up and down, and so on. It got very tiring after a while.
Well now I'm off to eat dinner and to try to find a place where I can submit this blog!
08/01/2009, San Antonio, Ibiza
There is a lot to talk about today. First off, we made it to Ibiza. It was a 24 hour trip over here to San Antonio. But, after we got here we discovered that the electric piano had just taken a salt-water bath. When I lifted it up to move it, water came pouring out of one end! From now on the piano is living in a different berth.
My Dad took it apart (with a little help on my part) and we started cleaning it up. We put it back together with about 20/88 of it working. So we took it back apart and left it for the night. But, during the night, it dried out and this morning it was working - completely! So we now have a working piano.
While the piano episode was going on, though, I somehow caught a cold (it may have had something to do with staying up way too late for 3 consecutive nights!'ü"). So during repairing the piano I had a bad headache that continued through the night. That and the lack of sleep may have had something to do with the fact that I slept 'till 10 a.m. this morning. I feel better now.
We plan to go to Mallorca and order Goiot (a French company) hatch parts. The reason for this is the same reason the piano got wet - the hatches leak. So we're going to get new seals. From Mallorca we'll go to Menorca and then on to Sardinia and Sicily. The Croatian coast has apparently gotten expensive so my Dad is reconsidering his plans to go there.
The weather has been hot here. At 8 p.m. the cabin's at 90 degrees Fahrenheit! The water's also warm at 81 degrees Fahrenheit. It never really cools down here. At night it gets pleasantly warm while in the day time you would want air conditioning (which we don't have). Heaters aren't much help around here!
The title is because we have had difficulty finding Wi-Fi lately and I haven't had a chance to blog.
07/27/2009, Alicante, Spain
We met a new cruising family 2 days ago. They consist of 2 girls (about 15 years old), a boy (my age), and their Dad. We met them in Cartagena and have sailed with them since.
We are now on to San Antonio on Ibiza (pronounced Ibitha. I don't know why). It will be (hopefully) exciting. Apparently san Antonio is a BIG party location. FYI, I won't be going to any of them!!
After that it's on to Mallorca, Menorca, Italy, Croatioa, etc.
07/16/2009, Almunecar, Spain
Last night we stopped in a port near Malaga and this morning continued on to Almunecar. It was a trying day -- physically and emotionally. Stuff's breaking real fast for one. Also, I was feeling homesick (maybe I still am!).
No wind today. We motored most of the way here.
07/06/2009, Gibraltar, United Kingdom
Well, we made it to Gibraltar. The pillars of Hercules apparently are on the rock of Gibraltar so I, at least, would like to go see them. There is a cable car that goes up the rock.
We are probably going to be stuck here until my Dad receives his credit cards (again [he lost them before]) and we fix the main traveler (again [it broke on the crossing]). That could be a few days!
The picture is of the rock of Gibraltar.

I am working on an online portal, where researchers can upload their research papers. One requirement is, that all PDFs are stored in PDF/A-format. As I can't rely on the users to generate PDF/A conforming documents, I need a tool to check and convert standard PDFs into PDF/A format.
What is the best tool you know of?
- Price
- Quality
- Speed
- Available APIs
Open-source tools would be prefered, but a search revealed none. iText can create PDF/a, but converting isn't easy to do, as you have to read every page and copy it to a new document, losing all bookmarks and annotations in this process. (At least as far as I know, if you know of an easy solution, let me know).
APIs should be available for either PHP, Java or a command-line-tool should be provided. Please do not list either GUI-only or Online-only solutions.

Hi all, my wife and I are thinking of getting a few bikes, and would like to know what to do with the kids.
Our childrens ages are 2yrs 6 mos, and our youngest is 8 mos.
We are assuming that a rear seat would be fine for the toddler, but are curious of what would be best for our youngest. We were thinking of a harness that the little could ride on one of our backs but are really unsure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if you have a particular brand preference please state which and why.
Thanks again, Brymac

The well known fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier often receives a lot of attention in the press when he launches a new fashion line, so now that he is launching his own fashion exhibit at the Barbican in April of next year, where he will be displaying over 140 of his clothing lines and designs which includes the conical corset that Madonna wore during her on-stage performance, the show is certain to be filled when it goes through its London debut.
One of the things that Gaultier told the press is that the English were among the first in the world to appreciate the type of fashion that he does, so he is really excited to bring this show to London. He feels that this place is better set than any other place in the world, except perhaps Paris, which is where he lives in.
The clothing lines that will be shown will be more than just the famed corset that Madonna wore at the 1990 Blonde Ambition tour. There are three other stage costumes that were created exclusively for the likes of Kylie Minogue, Dita Von Teese and the Hung Up singer will be shown to the public. The exhibit will also showcase Gaultier's illustrious career, along with many more ready-to-wear garments.

"Honeyboy" Moves On to Blues Heaven
August 31, 2011 - Phyllis Sigal
The blues world lost another legend earlier this week when David "Honeyboy" Edwards died at the age of 96.
He was slated to play the Heritage Music BluesFest this year — finally — after trying to get him for a couple of years. But a couple of weeks before the festival, he canceled, citing health reasons.
My husband Bruce Wheeler, who chooses the acts each year for the festival, was bringing "Honeyboy" in for me, he said.
We met him a few years ago at the Blue and White Restaurant on HIghway 61, just south of Tunica, Miss.
It was the morning after the Blues Music Awards, and for some reason, lots of blues people congregated at the restaurant for the best biscuits ever and the $1 endless cup of coffee.
When we walked in to the restaurant, already there having breakfast were Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Bob Stoger and "Honeyboy." In walked "Pinetop" Perkins, another blues legend, who died in March of this year.
"Honeyboy" — who was born in 1915 — said he remembered when the Blue and White Restaurant was built back in 1924.
A Delta bluesman — the last of the great Mississippi Delta bluesmen — he played with the best of the blues legends.
In 2010, he won a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement; in 2009, he received the Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album; and was the winner of several Blues Music Awards.
What a sweetheart of a guy he was that day, and I'd been hoping since then he could've played BluesFest. I just wanted a chance to talk with him again.
His manager, however, announced his retirement on July 17.
According to Honeyboy's website, "This morning Monday August 29, 2011, about 3 a.m. while resting peacefully at home, Honeyboy moved on to blues heaven. He lived a long, full life, and he felt at peace. He loved to say, 'The world don't owe me nothing.' Just shy of his 96th birthday, Honeyboy played his last gigs at the Juke Joint Festival and Cathead Mini-Festival in Clarksdale, Mississippi, April 16 and 17, 2011. Prior to his health turning for the worse in late April, Honeyboy was scheduled to play numerous gigs in Chicago, across the USA and in Europe. ... He maintained a strong spirit until the end, telling stories and showing off his dexterity in his hands."
A humble man, his contract requested nothing higher than a two-star hotel, and preferably a motel. Anything fancier made him uncomfortable, he said. Like I said, what a sweetheart.
Rest in peace, Honeyboy. Rest in peace.

Peru Family Trip
Will and Brent had passes to go up to Huayna Picchu and please note that the queue to get on the trail can take up to an hour to get through. Another check of the passport.
Nancy and I thoroughly enjoyed some free time on the mountain and looked for remote places to just sit and BE STILL! We could have really stayed several more days just to experience the atmosphere of the mountain. On the back side of the ruins, we watched two falcons work the hillside for dinner.
Around 2 PM we headed out, turning and giving one last look to this magical place. Boarded the train for the ride back to Cusco and we were entertained by a fashion show of local products. We then transferred over to a bus for the last half of the trip. It was night when we arrived back in Cusco, weary from the ride back, but it did give us time to absorb what we had just seen.
Supper that night in Cusco at a little restaurant called Marcelo's about a block from the hotel. Again, the food was just very good value.
Concerns: By this time, we were completely at ease in this country. Enjoying the scenery, weather, and mostly the people.
Tidbit: Every time we asked a street vendor who made their product, they always answered their family, even though they were obviously selling a mass produced item. I guess selling techniques wherever you are in the world might stretch the truth a little.
Altitude: Coming back up to Cusco at 12,000, we had no problem this day.
Highs: Sitting with my lovely wife of 30 years on a spectacular little terrace on the hillside of M-P while our two sons were happily climbing rocks and exploring Huayna Picchu !!!!
Lows: Maybe the last leg of the bus ride back to Cusco, but that would be real picky. Just sad we had to leave Agua Calientes.

It is not made by Silva of Sweden but by Johnson Outdoors, who own the Silva brand name in North America and who source this compass from a manufacturer in Taiwan (Manufacturers in both Japan and Taiwan have supplied thousands of these liquid-damped lensatic compasses over the years, some better made than others).

Ranger CL
This compass is one of the best out there. Very durable, accurate, and easy to use. The Silva Ranger compass has been the benchmark for over a half century. Used by outdoorsmen, contractors, surveyors, silviculturists, miners, and anyone who needs to rely on the best directional instrument the world has to offer. I have used the Silva Ranger for over 40 years years, and found it to be the easiest to use, and the most accurate and reliable compass, through all types of weather and temperatures. Although… Full review
Explorer Pro HV
A high quality baseplate compass with many functions at a low price point! Declination adjustment, clinometer, and magnifier all for under $35. Silva carries a lifetime warranty on this compass, and it is a super product. This compass is great to work with for planning, and when out in the field! The measurements of the compass: 2.125" x 4.1875", weighing in at 1oz. The high visibility bezel really helps! The dial is easy to turn, and has 2˚graduations. The compass has a gear driven adjustment… Full review
Guide 426
A bubble appeared in the fluid the first time I used it on the altitude 2500m. Compass stopped to work. The bubble disappeared on the sea level. Do not recommend Silva compasses. Full review
Starter 1-2-3
Great simple hiking compass. Run some para-cord to a buttonhole, and drop her in your shirt pocket, even if you go without your pack, it is always with you. I always like to be aware of my basic heading, and take readings periodically when off the hiking trail. I do have a backup in the rucksack, but I run the Starter as my main. After 11+ years in the military with the S&Y lensatic compass, you would think that is what I would run now, but the 1-2-3 does the job just fine without the bulk/weight,… Full review

I am not sure that this is the right forum but I give it a try.
Did anyone have any experience with this powermeter ? How accurate is it ? Does it have interval functions (not the preprogrammed version but rather the intentional "lap" interval I am referring to) ?
I read the website but wanted to get more objective info.
Any of you have compared the accuracy to Powertap/SRM/Ergomo ?
Thanks, Lajos

I looked all over the internet and this forum but couldn't find the answer.
I have a CAAD 10 I took apart the headset on...and now I can't get it back correctly. When I reinstall, either the headset is too loose or everything is so tight the front wheel can barely be turned.
I just can't remember how to put the bearings on correctly. This is what's inside, except for the black ring at far right
I am reasonably certain the bottom bearing (just above front brake) goes on with the flat edge down and the rounder side up. Is the top bearing the same? And where does the ring with the slit go? $%#&!
edit: Actually, the black ring at far right in the picture is the very bottom piece, on the top of the fork.

Pebble Beach Food and Wine: The Aftermath
From the desk of Jessica:
A quick survey of the tweets from other attendees of the third annual Pebble Beach Food and Wine festival confirms a few things—everyone is still hungover, and everyone is regretting finishing the foie gras loco moco that the chefs from Animal prepared for the Food and Wine Best New Chefs Alumni dinner on Friday night. Yes, indeed, as the three-day eating and drinking bonanza has now come to a close, it's time to reflect on what we've learned.
The 20 Best Dishes of 2009
No longer in a pre- or post-holiday stupor, we finally feel we've got the clarity to reflect on a year of eating. It took some sifting through our notebooks, some brain jogging, some staring off into space: And then it all came back to us with the shocking clarity that only memories of delicious meals can conjur up. Some of these dishes are from new restaurants, and some from old favorites. Either way, they all defined a moment.

According to Finviz, over the last week and month the conglomerate sector has been the leader. The sector as a whole is up 10% in the last three months. Stocks such as United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) and 3M (NYSE:MMM) have ramped up more than 20% gains since the summer, and Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) and Leucadia National (NYSE:LUK) have seen similar gains since November. With these heavily traded stocks (all trades well over a million in daily average volume) already posting solid gains, is now the time to buy?
The uptrend within United Technologies has been looking very strong since setting an intermediate low in November at $74.44. The near vertical rally since June has broken a long-term triangle pattern, which started back in August 2011. Ultimately the breakout indicates a continued long-term rise in the stock; the target is $99 to $106. The wide range is given because $100 is such an important psychological level - if the stock lacks momentum as it approaches, it isn't likely to get through. But if it moves through $100, another several dollars of movement higher is probable. While the target provides for further upside, triangle breakouts often retest their breakout point. Therefore, I would look to pick up the stock in the $84 to $80 range, with a stop just below $74. That provides for about $20 in upside for $6 to $8 risk. If you already own it, I like the looks of it, but would tack the same $74 stop on it.
SEE: The Anatomy Of Trading Breakouts
3M is rapidly approaching the $100 mark, and has a strong momentum going in. In the spring and summer of 2011, the stock made attempts at the mark but faltered near $98 - a level easily surpassed this time round. My main problem is that I don't see a technical catalyst to really keep driving the stock higher. While passing through $100 could spark some additional short-term buying interest into $105, I don't seem much of an upside beyond that. While I may end up eating my words, because currently the stock is quite hot, at current levels near $99 the reward to risk just doesn't seem to be there right now.
Caterpillar is in an interesting spot technically. In mid-November the stock traded down to near $80. As of the January 22 close it was at $97.72 - a solid three-month performance. Zooming out, over the last two years the stock has been moving in large swings, and while it's not quite a range, it has been range like. The current price is right in the middle of that "range" and there isn't likely to be much resistance until the stock nears $110. That said, the aggressive move higher since November makes stop placement tricky. January started with a gap higher, and that should provide some support. Therefore, picking Caterpillar up at near $97 with a stop near $92 allows for a moderate risk/reward ratio. Over the last two years there has been a bullish bias, which means it is quite possible the stock tests the 52-week high at $116.95, and potentially beyond. It is too early to predict that, but even with a $110 price target there is a tradable move given the right entry and stop level.
SEE: Interpreting Support And Resistance Zones
Over the last two years Leucadia National has been beaten down - dropping from $39.14 in April 2011 to near $20 multiple times since. The $19.58 low in June 2012 looks like it may be a turning point for the stock though. A choppy rise into the $24 region gives bulls some technical hope. If the stock rises above $25, I like it. Waiting for the move above $25 shows the stock has some upward momentum, and a stop can still be placed relatively close at $23. The upside is the question here though. With the main trend down, there are loads of resistances everywhere. If the stock breaks $25, a target of $27 is a solid initial target. Between $27 and $30, there are significant price peaks from 2011 and 2012. If the price climbs through this area, it is a good sign long term that the trend has turned. Given the longer term downtrend, if the stock doesn't break $25 and then drops below $23, there is a definite short trade possibility there.
SEE: Support & Resistance Basics
The Bottom Line
Conglomerate stocks are performing very well overall, but how they will perform in the future is the primary concern. As with any trade, there has to be a reasonable potential profit to warrant the risk of a trade. While I like investing in the strongest sector, not all stocks in this (or any) sector are on equal footing. It's better to be patient and wait for a trade setup that fits your risk tolerance, even when a stock is strong.

I've been following the story of Roxana Saberi's Iranian trial and conviction, mainly through the thorough coverage in the Los Angeles Times (which you can find here and here) and the story is a chilling one. If you're unfamiliar with Saberi's case, here are the basics: she is a 31-year-old American reporter who was previously employed by NPR and the BBC before being accused of espionage in January. Her trial lasted exactly one day and the verdict was rendered immediately. I have to believe that President Obama was deliberately understating things when he said that he was "disappointed" by the trial's outcome.
What was the evidence against Saberi? Nobody knows, as the trial was conducted entirely in secret. Apparently Saberi confessed, but said her confession was extracted under duress and due to false promises of release. If Saberi's confession is indeed valid, why not make public any details of the case that could confirm her confession? Keeping everything under wraps in the way that Iran's judicial system has can only bolster Saberi's claim that this is a sham. The whole situation has been cast by several analysts as an Iranian attempt to possess a bargaining chip in their relationship with America.
Saberi, whose father was born in Iran, has been living in Tehran since 2003 and stayed there to continue reporting on affairs in the country even after the government revoked her press credentials in 2006. Yesterday, a day after the conviction, Iranian President Ahmadinejad sent a letter to prosecutors requesting the following: "Please, personally observe the process to ensure that the defendants are allowed all legal rights and freedom in defending themselves and that their rights are not violated even by one iota." He then spent the rest of the day and speaking at a highly publicized UN forum on racism, in which his controversial statements got much airplay and hence more attention was paid to what else he had done that day, namely issuing this letter in the name of "legal rights and freedom." Master manipulation. You can almost hear Ahmadinejad saying "eeeexcellent" in the sinister manner of Mr. Burns on The Simpsons.
The legal rights that Ahmadinejad mentions in his letter — could they perhaps include an open trial, or even pretending to deliberate on the evidence? I suppose that he could be trying to set himself up as some arbiter of fairness so that if/when Saberi is released, he can point to his letter as the handiwork that ensured her freedom. Forgive me for believing that such manipulations and diplomatic bargaining tactics should have no place in determining a woman's innocence or guilt, and should never influence the decision to grant or deny her freedom.
To any readers who wish to read more about this, I recommend following the Los Angeles Times' coverage including this interview with Saberi's father, which includes details such as Saberi's attempted hunger strike and the fact that she was originally detained for buying a bottle of wine. The newspaper's site also has an excellent blog on all things Middle Eastern called Babylon and Beyond.

This was a busy weekend, it just seems like we got almost nothing accomplished. Friday night we were lucky enough to spend the evening with our favorite little friends. We made chicken and broccoli stir fry and fried rice with the help of our friends. They did an excellent job of pouring and stirring. I will be sharing the recipe with you later this week.
Saturday I had enough of wearing sneakers, so we ventured to Squirrel Hill in search of shoes that I can wear with my foot injury. I injured my foot a few weeks ago and comfortable shoes are suddenly a big deal. While we were out, we checked out a new to us restaurant, the Ramen Bar. It was the perfect meal for a cold winter day in Pittsburgh. After, we headed over to Bloomfield to go to the butcher and Prantl's to get some cake. For dinner, we met family at Nicky's Thai Kitchen. Sunday was filled with cooking for the week and brunch at E2. Below is what we enjoyed at Ramen Bar.
Our waitress suggested the Tan Tan Men, pictured above. She said it was her favorite and another waiter said the same thing later. This giant bowl of ramen is slightly spicy (adjusted to your level of spiciness). It is rich and peppered with ground beef and spinach. Holy soup was this good. We loved this dish and both agreed that on our next visit it was what we would choose. The ramen came to our table piping hot with perfectly cooked noodles. It was the perfect lunch for a cold winter day.
The other dish we tried was a rice bowl. We chose the Kimchee Rice bowl with vegetables. I enjoyed the kimchee mixed into the rice, but I thought it lacked flavor. When sitting next the the Tan Tan Men, it was dull and boring. This might be a good choice for a dinner companion who does not enjoy spice.
This is the soup that comes with the rice bowls. I thought this was good as I love clear broth soups, but I would for sure choose the tan tan men instead. Overall, we loved our visit and will be back next time we are in Squirrel Hill.

$#*! Celebrities Buy — Beyonce Spent How Much Money on Blue Ivy's Crib?! (VIDEO)
Let's face it — we all like to splurge on a little something special once in a while. But when you're Beyonce, Jay Z, or Kim Kardashian, indulgence is taken to a whole new level. So we took a look at some of the craziest and most luxurious purchases that celebs have made — from baby Blue Ivy's lucite crib and gold rocking horse to mom Beyonce's $100K gold Balenciaga leggings and $52,500 Louis Vuitton bag. One thing is for sure — these stars are serious about their splurges.
And it doesn't end there. Victoria Beckham loves texting hubby David via her pricey $33K 24-karat gold iPhone. And if you thought your handbag was expensive, think again. Yeezy gifted Kim K one extravagant Christmas present — a custom-painted Birkin bag by artist George Condo. Estimated cost? $44,000. Even heart-throbber Justin Bieber got himself a nice little chain, costing him a cool $25,000.
Another thing stars love to spend their dough on? Automobiles. Nicki Minaj dropped $700,000 on a hot pink custom made Lamborghini Aventador, while Drake picked up a $3.4 million limited edition Bugatti Veyron. Reality star Scott Disick dropped an estimated $233,000 on his Ferrari 458 Italia, and then somewhere over $400,000 for his Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. We bet Kourtney K doesn't mind riding in either of those passenger seats.
And pop diva Mariah Carey gave hubby Nick Cannon a sweet $300,000 Ferrari. But don't feel bad for Mimi, because her man returned the favor with a $12,000 custom necklace for Mother's Day.
These are some seriously outrageous purchases, but we say if you got the dough, spend away!

What's the rational for that? I pay $10 a month sept-march the past few years, I'm home sick today, I was about to sign up for the month just to have something to occupy me. Seems like the only thing that could get people to tune in between the end of basketball and the start of football.

Yup, totally do not get that unless they seriously think that spring ball is something that other teams scout which would be a dumb excuse. Hell, I couldn't channel flip the sports channels the last couple of weeks without seeing some of these games on TV. With that in mind it would seem we could throw ours on the freakin' internet for a subsciption.

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Just as some chicks are better at deep throating cocks than others, some scenes are hotter than others depending on how you watch them. In the case of Deep Throats 3D, you get some very talented blowjob givers and you get to watch all of the action in 3D!
For those of you who like what DeepThroats3D has to offer but aren't in the mood to constantly wear 3D glasses, the files are available in MVC format, which can be played on both 3D and 2D devices. There's also a version of the movie that shows the 3D and 2D versions side by side on the same screen.
The movies can also be streamed through an embedded Flash player, but only in 2D this time around. They're all full-length files and both versions featuring 3D come in two high-def options when downloaded.
The action is really hot and will definitely appeal to fans of deep throating and blowjobs in general. What's not so appealing is that there are very few scenes and updates are very infrequent (although, two of the vids were added within the last 30 days, so hopefully this means the update schedule is improving).
There are only 10 movies. On the plus side, each video comes with a photo set. The medium-res shots are all crystal clear and you're able to save them in Zip folders.
With so little content right now, the ability to sort is almost useless since everything appears on one page, but it will no doubt come in handy in the future. You can also rate your favorite scenes and browse by model name. There's no simple or advanced search function nor is there the ability to save your favorite scenes, but with so few videos, this isn't a problem for the moment.
There aren't any extras and I need to point out that you there's a daily download limit of 6GB, which is the equivalent of roughly four movies. Fans of blowjobs and movies that can be watched in 3D will love the content here, but Deep Throats 3D doesn't offer enough to make joining worthwhile. I recommend waiting until the site has more content.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.

Twitter Tuesday is a new weekly feature to Pine Tar Press, in which I'll review all things #Royals through the eyes of Twitter. Snark and sarcasm are welcomed and valued just as much as baseball insight. Keep them clean, and keep them coming.
The second week of Royals Spring Training featured a wide range of happenings: Royals got their competitive juices flowing with a couple intrasquad games, Ned lost an organ, Twitter unearthed a Royals legend, real meaningless games have commenced, and the Royals are off to a fast start in the Cactus League.
The Royals prepared for their spring training schedule by playing two intrasquad games. The first game ended in a tie, essentially lobbing up a beach-ball for the doomsday crowd to knock out of the park. The response, as you can see, was about as predictable as a Lindsey Lohan relapse.
Ned Norris…err..Yost
Sadly, it has taken an organ removal and Ned Yost returning to the job the next morning to endear himself to many of the Royals faithful. All will be forgotton the first time he calls for a sacrifice bunt, and he'll return to buffoon status. Aside from the uber-amount of grit that it took to return to work less than a day after having his gal bladder removed, it should be noted that he did it in the name of KC barbeque. Yost stated he would have prolonged painful attacks after eating barbeque, and that just wasn't going to work for him. I liked Ned before this incident, but with his newfound Chuck Norris-like status, I now fear Ned Yost–as should you. For more on the legend that is Ned Yost, conduct a Twitter search for #YostFacts.
I can't tell you how depressing and sad tweets like these are. Sadly, this idiot isn't alone. If you actively root for someone to get hurt, miss time, etc., you're not a fan. I know guys like Ned Yost, Luke Hochevar, Jeff Francoeur, and Chris Getz aren't the most poplular guys amongst Royals fans, but rooting against their well-being is about as low as it gets, and the Royals, regardless of how pedestrian they may be, are better off without your support. It is trashy and twisted. Just stop. You don't have to like every player, but if you're a Royals fan, you want everyone wearing a Royals uniform to succeed.
Royals vs. Rangers x 3
As the Royals enter regular season play, I'll do my best to capture the game's hightlights through your tweets. With this being spring training, there just isn't a lot of relevancy regarding records or individual performances.
The Royals went 2-0-1 in their series against the cross-complex Texas Rangers. The first game, which ended in a tie due to the Royals blowing a two run lead in the 9th spurred a case of the "damnit's". Also, some lucky Royals fan apparently has insider information regarding the inner-workings of the small intestines of our beloved Royals players–yuck (read first tweet carefully).
Game 2 versus the Rangers ended with about as much drama as a spring training game can…
As for Brandon Wood, and for those who may not know who he is, he was Wil Myers before Wil Myers was Wil Myers. Make sense?
The Royals also took the third game of the series, 7-5, but did so while committing 4 errors.
First of all, none of the Royals main four starting pitchers (James Shields, Ervin Santana, Jeremy Guthrie, Wade Davis) have thrown. Second, the Royals have Gold Glove caliber players at catcher, shorstop, third base, left field, right field, and first base–the defense will be fine. Relax and root for a healthy spring training camp. Nothing more.
Royals vs. Diamondbacks
Of note, Royals catcher's had a big day. Adam Moore slugged his team-leading 2nd homerun of the spring, and Max Ramirez cleared the bases with a grand slam. Royals remain undefeated. You know what this means, right? (See below)
That's right folks, that is some serious optimism.  Unfortunately his prognostications read much like a Kansas City weatherman's. 75 to 148 wins…3 to 49 inches of snow possible. Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen Kevin McGannon and Gary Lezak in the same room at the same time?
Oops, I nearly forgot the buzzkill. Two-thirds of the projected Royals outfield is dinged up, and the other third is Jeff Francoeur.
Of course Yost isn't concerned. I can't imagine getting much sympathy from a guy who left the ball park one day, had an organ removed from his body, and returned to work the following morning.
Fortunately, this is not considered to be a serious injury, and both Gordon and Lorenzo Cain should be returning to the lineup in a couple days.
From the Misc. Department
I see this as a good thing. We'll find out right away how well the Royals are going to stack up. I wouldn't want it any other way. If the Royals can come out of that stretch at, or near .500, they can apply some serious pressure to the Detroit Tigers. That would also be the pefect recipe for returning this city to its "baseball city" status. This stretch essentially takes the Royals to the All-Star break, which is a good time to determine whether some pieces need to be added to make a run at the postseason. Like I said, I think this is a very good scenario for the Royals. Worst case scenario, the Royals will get a good feel for what parts are  needed for a legitimate run in 2014.
This is misplaced, but since this is my piece, you'll just have to excuse my venting. I too just paid for a partial (15 game) season ticket plan. The Royals employee I placed my order with was very kind and accomodating, except that my two Opening Day tickets are not together. I'll be in one row, and presumably my wife will be a couple rows behind me. The Royals employee said there was simply nothing he could do as there were NO side-by-side tickets remaining in the entire stadium. He even searched the "lower levels" for me (Yes, I'll be an upper-deck peon. There have been some salary cuts here at Pine Tar Press.). I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. If I were purchasing a half season or full season ticket package, I'm quite sure he could have found me side-by-side tickets. Tell me I'm cheap for only committing to 15 games. Tell me anything but a lie that there are no side-by-side tickets available in the entire stadium. Lastly, if you're going to make Opening Day a viable option for these partial season-ticket packages, make sure you reserve enough side-by-side seats. It is just one game, and I'll have fun no matter what, but this experience made me seriously question making this investment in the future.
This is only cool for a certain generation of Royals fans, but Willie was one of the best and most exciting Royals players of my childhood. Give him a follow, regardless of your age, because he's a Royals legend that helped put the Royals on the map back in their golden years. Plus, it is just cool to see that these guys still care, and whatever brings you closer to a ball player is neat in my eyes.
Until next week, Tweeps.
Go Royals!

Easy money
Three bogus applicants earning bogus degrees at a bogus college almost collected $55,000 in student loans. Congressional investigators probing the Department of Education pulled off the scam.
One of the phony students was called "Susan M. Collins." She was named after the real GOP Senator from Maine who asked for the investigation. The investigators set up a fake graduate school, the "Y'Hica Institute for the Visual Arts" in London, and federal bureaucrats quickly certified it for student loans. Investigators then went online and applied for money.
Nellie Mae Student Lending and Sallie Mae Servicing approved loans for the "students" under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Only Bank of America, a private lender, smelled a rat and rejected the fake applications. The GAO released a letter from Sallie Mae congratulating one of the phony students: "We wish you the best as you continue your education," it told "Collins."
Terri Shaw, chief operating officer for the Federal Student Aid Office, admitted that officials "did not completely follow every step of the procedure" and didn't check to see if "Y'Hica" really existed. She claimed the department would have caught the scam before actually sending money. Now all foreign schools applying for loan programs must receive on-site visits.

WGTS 91.9 Legend Passes Away
Long time radio host Dr. Gerry Fuller died Sunday July 1, 2012 at the age of 83. He was best known for his position at the Christian radio station WGTS 91.9 as host of the Saturday morning broadcast, Breakaway. For 45 years people tuned in to WGTS 91.9 to listen to Fuller's familiar voice and hear fascinating interviews with well-known guests such as Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Charles Stanley, Philip Yancey and many other public figures.
Fuller was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to two Adventist church schoolteachers. His parents moved to California soon after his birth where Fuller lived for most of his young life. He graduated from Pacific Union College with a degree in speech and then spent several years as a television announcer in Northern California. After moving to the Washington D.C. area, he received his degree in dentistry from Howard University. Fuller worked as a licensed DDS in the D.C. area for many years and served as president of the board at the radio station.
Fuller retired from WGTS 91.9 in the fall of 2011, just before his 82nd birthday. Following his retirement, the Gerry Fuller Mission Outreach Fund was established to mentor Christian radio stations throughout the world and teach them how to better spread the Word of God.
Despite being regarded as a powerful figure, Fuller was also considered a friend. At Fuller's 2011 retirement celebration, current general manager of WGTS 91.9 John Konrad shared his close relationship with the long-time legend saying, "Gerry has been a constant source of support and inspiration to me since I started working at WGTS in high school. And even then though Gerry has been my boss for years, he's been more like a brother to me."
He was loved by station as well as the community and his family and will be missed by all who witnessed his passion for serving the Lord through radio broadcast.
He was admitted to Washington Adventist Hospital, and passed away July 1. Fuller is survived by his wife Joy, his three children Gerri Ann, Jon and Jay, as well as his two grandchildren.
There will be a memorial service on Saturday, July 14 at 4 PM at the Sligo SDA Church.
A special tribute to Dr. Fuller will air on WGTS 91.9 at 9 a.m. on Saturday July 14. Please feel free to leave some words about Dr. Fuller in the comment section on this page under the article.
You can also donate to the Dr. Fuller Memoral Fund here. Just type "Dr. Fuller Memorial Fund" under comments.
Managers Memo: Living Generously
November 10, 2011 by John
Filed under Blogs, Managers Memo
Tommy felt like giving up. He wrote us with his story…
This morning on my hour-long commute to work, I was listening to WGTS 91.9 and working through some stuff with the Lord. I've had trouble sticking with my walk with the Lord all my life. I start devotions and then slack off after a couple days. I promise to pray more regularly, and then, after a week, find myself back at square one.
Satan was whispering in my ear about being a loser of a Christian, and that God is sick and tired of my many years of broken promises.
You played two hymns, and I was struggling with should I even try again, knowing that I'll for sure blow it. You then played the Casting Crowns song about listening to the voice of truth as opposed to the whispers of lies.
I started crying and had to pull over. God's faithfulness and love for me overwhelmed me, and I just wanted to share this with you.
God used you to touch me today, and I'm so thankful. Thank you for letting Him use you. I appreciate your ministry.
Can you relate? Have you ever been at the end of your rope when all of a sudden God makes His presence known and it turns things around for you?
It's something we are honored to hear about on a daily basis around here – listeners sharing their stories about how God is changing them, blessing them through the songs and things shared on WGTS 91.9 – every day.
With your financial and prayer support, WGTS 91.9 will continue to be here, for Tommy and many just like him, at any time, just when needed.
Our annual Sharathon is just around the corner – Nov. 14-18. It's our primary and most important fundraiser of the year. Would you help us reach the goal with your pledge of support?
You might be thinking, "John, I'd love to help, but I'm feeling uneasy about things with prices rising on almost everything and unemployment still above normal. What if I'm next to get cut?"
All of us struggle with fear – the tendency seems to be universal. It's so easy to see the glass half empty, rather than half full.
I encourage you to live in a state of hope, acknowledging His blessings, rather than one of constant fear. Fear is not what God desires for us. On a daily basis we must surrender our fear to Him, allowing us to live in peace knowing that He has everything under control.
God knows of our fearful tendencies and reminds us we are not to live in fear. I'm thinking of what Paul wrote to the Philippians as recorded in the Bible.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6
Like it did for Tommy, I believe God uses WGTS 91.9 on a daily basis to keep us from falling into a constant state of fear. It's an amazing 24/7 wherever, whenever tool God has given us to remind us of how He has blessed us.
Let's keep this ministry going strong – together! Join us in sharing the Word of Jesus throughout the greater Washington region. With your help, God is using WGTS 91.9 to eliminate fear, bring hope and a heart of thankfulness, and a sense of abundance.
Would you put a spirit of generosity into practice with a special donation, a promise of support?
The devil would have us live in fear – by living generously we are shining the light of God's love, eliminating the darkness. Thank you for making WGTS 91.9 a piece of your "generous living" portfolio.
John Konrad
General Manager
P.S. Thank you for your generosity – for deciding to live with a heart of thankfulness rather than a heart of fear. You mean a lot to this ministry and the thousands it points to Jesus each day – Thank you!

No-interest plan directly invests in visiting films
The lure of New Mexico to filmmakers goes way back — to long before Hollywood's hand-wringing over runaway production. With nearly year-round sunshine, pristine skies and an array of scenic locations, New Mexico became a moviemaking magnet, mostly for Westerns.The natural attractions remain. But instead of oaters, it's blockbusters and contemporary TV series that have recently become mainstays. (Post-apocalyptic pics are especially popular, with "Terminator Salvation," "Legion" and "The Book of Eli" making the most of the state's desert locales.) What has turned New Mexico into a major film center is its bountiful package of tax incentives. There is a 25% rebate available for all taxable expenditures in the state. New Mexico also subsidizes 50% of wages paid to local crew trainees. Finally — and most unusually — the state offers productions interest-free loans for up to $15 million. Other states hand out bigger tax breaks (the highest in the nation is Michigan's 42% tax credit). But New Mexico's no-interest loan provision is unique among the 40 states that now offer some sort of financial filming incentive. "It used to be the part of our incentive that was viewed with the most skepticism," explains Eric Witt, deputy chief of staff to Gov. Bill Richardson, who calls the state's aggressive attempts to attract the film industry "the biggest bonanza we've had." In fact, discussions are under way to raise the ceiling to $30 million. Beyond getting repaid, there's also an entrepreneurial upside for the state: A prenegotiated percentage of any backend profits goes back into the fund, effectively making the state an investor in those productions approved for the loan. But strict standards have to be met to qualify:
- The loan must be fully guaranteed by the borrower.
- At least 85% of a project must be shot in New Mexico.
- There must be a binding agreement in place with a reputable distributor.
- Credible revenue and cost projections must be submitted.
- At least 60% of below-the-line payroll and body count has to go to New Mexico residents.

Animation Resources is proud to present exclusively to our membership the first of four volumes of Eugene Zimmerman's landmark correspondence course in cartooning as a 200 page high resolution e-book. Members, to download a copy, login to the Members Only Download Page. This download will only be available during the months of May and June 2015 and might never be available again.
If you have not joined Animation Resources yet, see the Membership Signup Page. Over the next year, Animation Resources members will be receiving the entire Zim course, consisting of four volumes and nearly 1000 pages packed with incredible drawings and creative advice!
A couple of years ago ago, I stumbled across a "how to" book on cartooning by Eugene "Zim" Zimmerman. It was titled Zim's Cartoons & Caricatures, Or Making The World Laugh. I happened to be speaking on the phone to Ralph Bakshi, and I mentioned the book. "Ooooohh! So you've discovered ZIM now! He's one of my secrets…"
In 1967, right after he had resigned as the head of the Paramount cartoon studio, Ralph and his wife Liz were walking through Brooklyn when they saw a sign on an old house advertising an estate sale. They went inside, but it was late in the day and there wasn't much left. Ralph glanced up at a tall bookcase and saw a pile of pamphlets stacked up on a high shelf. It was too high to reach, so he didn't bother to look at them. As they were walking out the door, he got the feeling that he needed to go back and look at the pamphlets. It was a good hunch. The stack contained a nearly complete set of Zim's correspondence course in cartooning. He asked the estate agent how much they cost, and was told $50. That was more than he and his wife had in their pockets, so Liz volunteered to run home and get the money. The Zim books were on his desk every day throughout the production of Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic and especially Coonskin. This set is Ralph's most prized possession, and now he is sharing them with Animation Resources.
Zim's correspondence course was the most highly regarded cartooning course of its day. Spanning 20 volumes, it covered a wide range of subjects, from practical homespun advice to lofty philosophy. Here are some examples of Zim's genius from the pages of the four volumes we completed digitizing today…
The course was published in two different editions… 1914 and 1920. We have been able to find an earlier edition of the course to supplement and complete Ralph Bakshi's set. There are no chapters or specific assignments. The books consist of page after page of individual nuggets of wisdom. Each book and each page stands on its own.
Ralph also helped Animation Resources obtain vintage copies of the magazine Judge's Library containing dozens of full page color examples of Zim's work. These have been included in our exclusive online e-books.
Zim's course is much more than just a "how to draw" course. In short anecdotal paragraphs, Zim succeeds in conveying what it means to be a cartoonist… the history behind the artform… how to deal with everyday problems and setbacks… and how to live the life of an artist.
Zim was the founder of the "grotesque" school of caricature, which formed the basis of what we now call "cartoony drawing". He provides lots of examples of caricatures drawn from life, with photos of his subjects alongside his caricature of the person.
There's plenty of traditional drawing lessons too. Zim's masterful expressive line fills every page with perfect examples of the principles he is discussing.
The book is full of amusing observation. Just look at the shoes and the way the clothing hangs on these bums. Zim is able to pack personality into every detail of the character.
If you aren't convinced yet that Zim is a drop dead genius, just click on this image!
The most impressive illustrations in the course are the examples of Zim's rough sketches. He had an uncanny knack for being able to express every nuance of his subject with a free flowing and loose pencil technique.
He was capable of extreme exaggeration that captured the essence of the unique qualities of the personalities he chose to caricature.
But the most amazing thing about Zim's artistry was his ability to draw the viewer into his world and make them feel the way the characters in the drawings feel. Wouldn't you love to live in a cartoony world like this? You can, and Zim can teach you to THINK like a cartoonist.

Before we get to this Easy Breakfast Ham and Cheese Pizza just let me tell you something…
Wesley has informed me that our dog, the one I didn't want, is anxious and therefore she's digging.
She's anxious, he claims, because she isn't getting enough exercise.
And who, do you guess, that he suggests take the dog on more walks?!
I mean, seriously(?), I get my miles in every day!
I am not anxious.
Nor, do I dig.
Don't you think someone else should walk the dog?
Someone who, let's say, doesn't run 5+ miles a day?!
I'm just thinking that since no one else in my house gets exercise, ahem, besides me(!) that maybe a better solution would be for those someones to walk the dog! Just sayin'
Now……… what was I doing?
oh, yeah, bringing you this extraordinary Breakfast Ham and Cheese Pizza.
It's perfect for after a long run….
or walking the dog.
Using a premade pizza crust cuts down on the prep time of this breakfast pizza, which is often a very good thing in the morning. If you want to use a homemade dough, it would be delicious as well.
This is the pizza crust I used for this particular breakfast pizza. You can customize this pizza to your liking and layer on your favorite breakfast foods.
I had breakfast ham and eggs from my Mom's chickens that I used for my breakfast pizza. What's your favorite breakfast? Are you a biscuit, waffle or do you like pizza or not-so-traditional breakfast foods?
- 1 (14 oz) prebaked pizza crust*
- 2 c shreded muenster cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- 1 c diced, cooked ham
- 3 Roma tomatoes, diced (I remove seeds and pat dry with a paper towel)
- 2 eggs,
- ½ c half and half
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Place pizza crust ona greased pizza pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of the grated cheese over crust.
- Top with ham and tomato.
- In a bowl, combine eggs, half and half and seasonings. Whisk
- Slowly pour egg mixture into center of crust. It will spread out naturally.
- Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 425 for 20 minutes or until egg mixture is set.
More breakfast recipes, I think you'll enjoy!

Spanish bonds' ECB haircut now hinges once and for all on DBRS
From 14 June 2012
The guys at Moody's were behind their peers' curve anyway (see 11 Jun post "Unfinished Sympathy"), but have now taken the lead by putting the Kingdom right away on junk outlook. ECB Haircut increase from 4 to 9 % in 10 YRS and probably worse from 1.5 to 6.5% in LTRO-laden 3 YRS paper (ECB link p.73) is thus now hinging on DBRS' views (Eurosystem credit assessment framework ECAF link).
Spain at AL neg since 08 Aug 2012

Huh? Wha?
It's solely the DBRS rating that keeps ECB haircuts at the lower level
Dominion Bond Rating Service?
Yes, the Canadian rating agency. They're the ones on whose shoulders the LTRO's holding haircuts depend

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
I know for a fact that I should have at least more than 0 impressions from the amount of traffic I have at my forum.
But, I have 0 everything. Did I forget to do something? They want my tax information, but I figured why bother mailing that out until I see myself making money from this first. But do they hold off on everything until you give in tax information? Or maybe they don't update daily? Very new to CJ so maybe I just am missing something obvious. Thanks.

No more are chains, whips and fuck machines items to be hidden away in dark, seedy alleys. Imagine all these devilish toys taken out and used in nature and you have the devious recipe offered by Outdoor BDSM, where naughty gals gladly accept their punishments.
OutdoorBDSM features around 21 models who endure all manner of sublime torture in a series of nature locales. All of the naughty punishments are documented in 173 high-res picture sets. Each of the models has over 70 pics per set, and many of them are involved in numerous bondage scenes.
Watch as tempting Vici embraces danger and gets pummeled by a fucking machine in public or as solider girl Lara is strung up between two trees in a forest and spanked mercilessly. You also have the ability to request fantasies you'd like to see performed in nature, so start jotting down your most devious ones now!
A number of the models also have downloadable videos shot during their punishments for a total of 120 videos. Download them in good-quality Windows Media format. As you watch how red their spanked butts become or the tears streaming down their faces as every hole is stuffed to the max, there will be little doubt that this coming-of-age bondage is long overdue.
This site updates about three times per months, so there will be a fresh supply of gals having some hardcore XXX exploits in public often enough to ensure you won't be bored. More frequent updating would definitely be appreciated though.
Get out your paddles and chains and head out to the nearest park. There is a whole new wave of gals eager to be punished in nature, as you can see by the cuties at Outdoor BDSM, where a jaunt through mother nature suddenly looks a whole lot more exciting!
