Plum tomatoes work best in this recipe; juicier tomatoes would thin the pesto. No need to seed or peel them. You can make the pesto ahead and keep it chilled. Stir in the tomatoes just before serving.
How to Make It
To prepare pesto, combine first 4 ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Add cheese and red pepper; process until blended. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add tomato, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, stirring gently to combine.
Preheat broiler.
To prepare fish, sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Place 1/2 cup orzo on each of 6 plates, and top each serving with 1 fillet and 1/4 cup pesto.

Fury: Peacemaker
Forged in the battles of World War II he, like the American military, will learn from his mistakes and carry on all the way to a position of global power.
FuryPublisher: Marvel Comics
Subtitle: Peacemaker
Contributors: Darick Robertson (Artist), Jimmy Palmiotti (Artist)
Price: $3.50
Writer: Garth Ennis
Item Type: Comic
Length: 32
Publication Date: 2006-04
Marvel's classic old soldier is back in Fury: Peacemaker, the story of Nick Fury's early experiences in World War II. The comic brings back the creative team that added new depth to the character in the breakthrough mini-series Fury, published under Marvel's formerly adults-only imprint Max. This new story story, written under the Marvel Knights imprint (a house for Marvel's "mature readers" material), seeks to explain the origin of a character who was born in war. Similar in aim with Ennis and Robertson's previous project, Punisher: Born, Fury: Peacemaker attempts to define the circumstances that turned a green sergeant into the cigar chomping head of S.H.I.E.L.D. There are no Howling Commandos in issue 1, and Nick is certainly not the Sgt. Fury that will lead them, at least not yet.
The story begins with the American debacle at Kasserine Pass in Northern Africa. This is the first time the inexperienced and cocky American Army comes face to face with their German counterparts. Sgt. Fury and his squad of rookies are pinned down behind a tank as the Germans decimate the American column. As new difficulties emerge, such as tanks and enemy aircraft, the story flashes back to the soldiers' training days. They are assured that their backs will always be covered by American tanks and that the only fighters seen in the sky will be Allied aircraft. But all of their training leaves them unprepared and their support is ineffectual against the German assault. Fury's squad is cut to pieces and he is left wounded in the desert. When he awakens, he meets a German general who offers a word of advice before allowing Fury to return to his lines: "If you want to be good at this? Learn to enjoy it".
This story offers a refreshing insight into the nature of Nick Fury and the grizzled veteran archetype he belongs to. Often times it seems that these characters emerge from the womb as natural leaders and born killers. The fact that Fury is unable to save his squad and watches his men get slaughtered offers a realistic portrayal of the evolution toward the man he will later become. Just as Captain America's character is counterbalanced by the scrawny weakling he was before he took the super-serum, so too is Fury made more realistic by the green sergeant who followed his training to the letter and still failed.
The comic also makes an interesting statement about the fraternity of co-combatants. When Fury is captured by the German general, he at first thinks he is to be killed. Instead, the officer offers Fury his canteen and lets him go. Their dialogue is reminiscent of the scene in Ennis's previous Fury mini-series, when the tired veteran of S.H.I.E.L.D meets up with his former Hydra nemesis for a drink (even though Nick later strangles the man with his own intestines). That Fury learns about war from one of his enemies reinforces the idea that all soldiers, regardless of what side they are on, share a common bond. While Robertson and Palmiotti's excellent artwork illustrates the horrors of war, the participants are at least given a human face. It is better when the enemy is real than when one is fighting the cartoonish caricature that the propaganda creates. This scene also raises the question of what other forces will contribute to Fury's development.
The only part of the story that seems problematic comes in the beginning when Fury appears to kill his commanding officer. As bombs explode all around their unit, Fury is depicted pointing a gun at his lieutenant's head. The lieutenant is clearly unprepared for the reality of war and is begging for someone to save them. While Fury takes aim, he berates his commander and tells him to start leading the men or he will kill him. In a later panel when a soldier asks Fury where the lieutenant is, Fury replies that he "Didn't make it". While the story does not explicitly show the act, it does strongly imply that Fury killed his CO (reminiscent of Ennis' Punisher: Born, where Frank Castle leads his CO into a sniper field with the express purpose of having him shot). While the scene does illustrate Fury's strong sense of duty and his disgust with his platoon commander's inability to overcome his fear, it nonetheless doesn't seem to fit with the character, especially the character at that time. Fury may one day become the leader of the Howling Commandos and will eventually command S.H.I.E.L.D, but he is not that man yet. That he would murder his own commanding officer seems to betray both the very theme of the series and the nature of the character. While this act of murder is satisfying to the reader in the moment, it becomes problematic when placed within the larger context of the series and the mythology of the character.
Nick Fury, like Captain America, is an idealized version of American identity. Whether it is the grizzled old cold warrior or the daring commando fighting the good fight, he is a manifestation of American militarism. Fury: Peacemaker #1 successfully starts the story that will tell how the character, and the things he represents, came to be. Forged in the battles of World War II he, like the American military, will learn from his mistakes and carry on all the way to a position of global power. Despite the problem mentioned above, this comic clearly paves the way for the greater questions and ideas Ennis intends to raise in the following issues.

House on the Embankment: MP Kirill Has Penthouse where OGPU spied on Citizens
Ecce Patriarcha Vestra.
("The Day"- Kiev) The House on the Embankment is one of the major symbols of the 1930s, the time when the regime was exterminating the party and industry elite which lived in this residential complex on the Moskva River's Bersenevskaya Embankment. It is no mere chance that the main overseer of the construction of what was officially called Government Building was Genrikh Yagoda, deputy chief (in fact the chief) of the OGPU secret police. The No. 11 entrance to the building leads to no apartments or elevators. Supposedly, this was the place from where secret policemen eavesdropped on residents of the apartments in other stairwells or there were perhaps some secret premises behind the wall. Apart from this section, the building also had a number of secret address apartments. The operatives worked in the guise of superintendents, doormen, and elevator operators, receiving in their apartments their informers or hiding some special lodgers, such as, for example, Dieter Gerhardt, a Soviet intelligence agent in South America. In the years of the 1937-38 Great Terror, more than 800 out of 2,000 residents, often including women and children, were repressed. In those years the building was dubbed "trap for the Bolsheviks" and "pretrial detention house." In 1937-53 the apartments would change their occupiers from five to almost twenty times.
|A Listening Room in the KGB Museum, Vilnius, where
citizens were spied on. Would you choose this for your house?
Due to censorial restrictions, Yury Trifonov, himself a dweller in this building in his childhood, could not write about repressions. He mentions them vaguely and metaphorically. "An enormous grey mass hung over the little street. In the mornings it blocked the sun, and in the evenings you could hear radio voices and gramophone music from above. Over there, on the celestial floors, there seemed to be a life entirely different to the drab one down below," Trifonov wrote in the novella The House on the Embankment. The house tends to symbolize the darkness that hung over the life of every Soviet citizen, even though everything looked cheerful from the outside. For in what other country could an individual breathe so freely with frosty air in the Kolyma prison camps or during the construction of the Vorkuta tundra railroad?
There are legends associated with this house, including those about the shadows of the unlawfully repressed, which haunt their apartments, as well as the shadows of the butchers who choose their prey. These legends are not far from the truth. Taking advantage of having keys to all the apartments, Lavrentiy Beria's deputy Bogdan Kobulov used to penetrate the apartments of those whom the Black Maria was to carry away later at night. Sort of a herald of death…
It is in this building that Patriarch Kirill acquired an apartment. Now he wants to enlarge his real estate. The shadows of the past do not embarrass him.

Porcelain veneers are really an ultimate alternative for anyone who wishes to have an enhanced yet sunshine smile. The finest feature of porcelain veneers is that it makes your smile looks natural with them in place. Countless celebrities have opted for Dental Veneers to get a striking smile, and even when you observe these people closely, you can't say they have undergone any such ornamental dentistry treatment. Porcelain veneers hardly get discolored, so no one has to quit their much loved wine or cigarette.
Porcelain veneers are a bit more costly in comparison to other types of treatments that give parallel results, but the persona you get is matchless and well worth the money.
Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of clay, (well actually feldspa/quartz) bonded to the facade of your teeth, are usually used to conceal discoloration of teeth, get better your smile and brighten teeth. Veneers are a magnificent smile-makeover alternative that delivers spectacular and enduring results. As with any therapeutic procedure, conversely, there are advantages and disadvantages of porcelain veneers as well.
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are both white and transparent. So they act in response to light in the same ways. Light comes into them both and is reflected back off the layer under them. When it comes to tooth enamel, it's the yellowish dentin coating beneath the enamel, veneers are great at covering this up as well. Thus, it delivers completely natural looking broad sunshine smile.
Since porcelain is a clay, stain-producing product roll right off the facade, similarly as glass. Veneers made using porcelain are unsurprisingly stain resistant, that too for those who can't resist themselves to their everyday trip to fast food courts or their red wine with dinner on a daily basis.
Disadvantages of Porcelain Veneers
While porcelain veneers are an exceptional alternative for a majority of the people, there are a few disadvantages as well that should be kept in mind as well:
While porcelain veneers are enormously strong and usually remains unharmed for many years, they can get fractured or come out. If a porcelain veneer comes out, your general dentist will almost certainly just fix it again. But if it breaks, it cannot be patched up and you will have to experience the time and expenditure of having a new veneer prepared. On the other hand, you can safeguard them either breaking by taking proper care of veneers, most significantly not forcing them to act as bottle openers! – Now you know!

Bean Goose: Large goose, scaled brown upperparts, white underparts. Head, neck are dark brown. Black bill with yellow-orange saddle. Tail is dark with white undertail coverts. Legs and feet are orange. Feeds on plants, seeds, fruits. Strong direct flight on steady wing beats. Flies in V formation.
Range and Habitat
Bean Goose: Breeds in northern Eurasia, but is rare to casual spring visitor to western Alaska and the Bering Sea islands. Preferred habitats include tundra, wet grasslands, and flooded fields.
The Bean Goose gets its English and scientific names from its habit in the past of grazing in bean field stubbles in winter.
They show a preference for pastures which have high proportions of perennial ryegrass. They are intolerant of disturbance and prefer feeding fields with no other grazing livestock during the winter months and choose open areas with unobstructed sight lines both for feeding and for roosting.
They were regarded as a common winter visitor to northern and eastern Britain during the first half of the 19th century. A widespread decline in numbers began in the 1860's and 1870's until in the early part of the 20th century only a few flocks remained.
A group of bean geese is collectively known as a "pod" of bean geese.

Cricket as a situations game
Trevor Bailey recalls the day that England won the Ashes in 1953
First, Australia had held the Ashes for 19 years, so that even the most unpatriotic Englishman felt it was time they returned. Second, since the war England had not only lost the last three series to the Aussies, but their annihilation had been almost as complete as the two recent West Indian whitewashes. Inevitably the players who had suffered so much at the hands of our oldest cricketing enemy, then the unofficial champions of the world, were thirsting for revenge. Third, a Test is much more than just a cricket match. It is a battle in a full-scale war. That summer saw four memorable encounters between two well-matched teams, thus setting the stage for a perfect climax with the Ashes at stake and an extra day allowed to make sure of obtaining a definite result.
Finally, the Oval Test not only marked the conclusion of my personal best allround series in this country but it also established for the rest of my career my role in the England team as third seamer and defensive batsman. I was originally capped against New Zealand and had toured Australia primarily as an opening bowler and a free-scoring middle-order county batsman, described, somewhat ironically in view of later events, by Wisden as `an attractive strokemaker'.
The summer of 1953 changed all that, though not immediately, as I took the new ball in three of the Tests. However, as a batsman, even before the series commenced, I was involved in rearguard actions and crease occupations against the tourists. For the Oval the selectors decided on a well-balanced attack, three seamers and two contrasting spinners, with myself as the allrounder at No. 6. I had worked out that our five pure batsmen could not be expected to provide more than say between 200 and 250 runs, especially against high-quality pace bowling. This left me and five tailenders all capable of making between 20 and 30, but two were bound to go cheaply. It seemed to me that if I managed to drop anchor until the arrival of No. 11 and edge, nudge and nick a few while they played their normal game we would have a very good chance of reaching a total of between 300 and 350. Over the years it worked suprisingly well. I became known as the `Barnacle', with the forward defensive as my signature tune.
The selectors were confronted with many of the same problems which faced Peter May & Co. last summer: inability to decide on the best openers, the most effective seam attack and the basic composition of the side. They made two changes at The Oval from the team which had so narrowly escaped defeat at Leeds, Peter May and Fred Trueman coming in for Reg Simpson and Willie Watson. The Australians brought back Bill Johnston and relied on five pace bowlers - who said the West Indian four quickies are a new idea? - which did not make any sense as the Oval pitch had already a reputation for breaking up early.
Lindsay Hassett won the toss for the fifth time on the trot and decided to bat on what looked a placid pitch. Indeed, in a six-day Test, on an uncovered pitch which was unlikely to last, he had no alternative; but his decision proved probably the biggest single factor in our victory.
Much to everyone's surprise, on the first day our seam trio ( Bedser, Trueman and myself) were able to obtain movement both off the pitch and in the air. We were further assisted by two short bowlers which not only livened up the wicket but helped to retain the shine in an era when outfields did not polish the ball. The outcome was that Australia were dismissed for 275, which would have been considerably less if we held all our catches. There is no doubt that if the Australian pace quintet had operated that day we would have been lucky to have reached 150. After all, at Headingley in far less helpful conditions we struggled to 167.
When play recommenced after the weekend all the moisture and most of the life had disappeared from the pitch, so that their attack presented few problems, even though Johnston at about medium-pace could bowl cutters reasonably well. At 150 for 2 England looked in control, but then everything started to go wrong and at stumps we had sunk to 235 for 7.
On Tuesday, requiring 40 runs to draw level, Tony Lock and I faced the bowling of Lindwall and Miller plus a comparatively new ball, which accounted for Tony. I found a valuable new ally in Fred Trueman, and during our partnership of 25 I realised for the first time that the match was ours for the taking, because immediately Johnston had relieved Lindwall the ball began to turn sharply. It was a case of an occasional spinner against Laker and Lock, not forgetting Alec Bedser, who had the best leg-cutter in the world. All that was required was for Alec and myself to bat as long as possible. We lasted until the last over before the interval, when I was bowled by a ball which pitched well outside my off stump and hit the top of middle. Although I never liked losing my wicket, I would always settle for 64, while a lead of 31 and the way that last delivery had behaved allowed me to enjoy my lunch.
After four perfunctory overs Trueman and Bedser were replaced by the Surrey twins, and at the end of a marvellous first over Laker had Hassett lbw, and though the left-handed Morris found he was able to cope more confidently than his right-handed colleagues against Jim's offspin, it was merely a question of time. The Australian batsmen were plainfully vulnerable against class spin bowling on a turning pitch, and were dismissed for 162 despite some very substandard fielding. We required a mere 132 for victory, on a slow pitch and against one spinner. The Ashes were ours unless our batsmen committee mass suicide.
Fifty-five minutes remained when Len Hutton and Bill Edrich began our reply. With so few runs at his disposal Hassett was not only forced to abandon his usual very attacking field, but after only two overs his one hope, Bill Johnston, took over from Ray Lindwall. It looked very simple, and though at 24 Len ran himself out, by the close we had reached 38 for 1 without much difficulty.
We required only 94 on that historic Wednesday, with nine wickets in hand. A large crowd turned up to watch and savour `the kill'. Despite the smallness of our target, I have never experienced more tension in a dressing-room, because the objective for which we had fought so hard throughout that summer was within our grasp. It is very exciting to win a tennis or golf tournament, but for me, nothing can compare with the satisfaction of winning a major event - and they do not come much bigger than the Ashes after an absence of 19 years - as part of a team. It would be true to say that no series since the war caught the imagination of the general public so much until that Botham bonanza in 1981.
Apart from a few anxious moments against Johnston, Edrich and May made their way cautiously towards the objective, until at 88 the latter was caught off Keith Miller, which brought in Denis Compton. The ` Middlesex twins' were still together at lunch with 101 on the scoreboard. The reasons for the slow scoring were the accuracy of the Australian bowling, the brilliance of their fielding, which throughout the series had been far superior, and the refusal of our batsmen to take any chances.
After the interval Bill and Denis gradually acquired those 31 runs, and the crowd swarmed across in a spontaneous expression of joy which in that more restrained era came as a surprise. When the spectators were requested to avoid the square they obeyed automatically, and there was not a policeman in sight, while the balcony appearances of the players brought applause but no chanting. Times have changed
In addition to the joy of having achieved what during the summer had so often appeared to be the impossible, I treasure two complements. The first occurred near the close when Tom Graveney suggested that if a wicket should fall I should go in ahead of him, as I had batted and bowled against them more than anybody else. In fact I played in 10 matches against the tourists that summer. The second occurred when the Australians invaded our dressing-room to offer their congratulations, and Ray Lindwall complimented me on my contribution. Our celebrations at the ground lasted to about 6 pm, when I set off to join my wife and friends at the Connaught Club, to be followed by a memorable night on the town - or at least so I have been told.

It is not often that one gets to see an amazingly simple, elegant and powerful (feature-packed) sales app that is enormously friendly to a non-technical user. And when you see one such app, the sheer simplicity attracts anyone.
Zuna, an iPad app built for business catalogs, analytics and sales, is one of these apps. Simple, clean, feature-rich and an all-encompassing app built for salespeople and companies with large product catalogs. Here's what we think about the app.
Simple, Easy and Non-technical
On the surface, Zuna is an app that can be called a product showcase app for the iPad. It's elegant and easy to use – two important cornerstones in judging every app's usability. Functions such as search, favorites, locations, quotes are quickly accessible. Any lay person can get started with the product catalog as a presentation – which is exactly why Zuna makes a good first impression. There is hardly a learning curve here.
Great Design, Interface and Presentation
When you are showing products to potential buyers, you want to make a good impression. This is why companies spend millions on brochure designs and presentations. Zuna's design aesthetic closely follows a minimalist style that complements the functionality.
Zuna lets you showcase images, videos, full specifications, collaterals and more in a live and friendly interface. With easy controls and easier navigation, presenting products out of the catalog is just the way it should be.
This is the front-facing/end-point of the entire app and the developer has definitely created an app that lets you do product presentations well.
Enterprise Features

Hi, just a question, First Vita Plus claimed it is packed with vitamins & minerals.. Im just wondering why mangosteen nutrition fact/value does not indicate this in the nutrition value in the
box.. Only carb, sugar and protein..
Dalandan has 5x more vitamin C than something else according to FVP website, but in the box, nutrition value of vitamin C is 0 % (none)..
May I know was there a mistake in manufacturer box? Thank you..
Mark - Queensland (Saturday, 15 February 2014 03:57)

About Linda
I'm a 50+ ranch woman that started running about 6 years ago to keep the fat at bay. I've run two half marathons and will probably try it again. I'm slow but that doesn't matter because I just about always run with the dog and she doesn't care as long as I get out there. I love this blog world full of runners of all different stripes. I've been entering the links in the R.B.F. for a year or so and love checking each one out as they come in. It does stress my bloglines account though because some of them I just have to keep reading.

Saffar along with a team of volunteers joined the district administration in relief work and provided medicine, food & water to the victims and their family members at the Helat Hospital. 28 units of blood was donated by Red Cross team and around 32 volunteered were registered for future needs. The Kanpur team was joined by the State Branch First Medical Responders later on.
The victims were very much worried & concerned about the missing family members/friends travelling with them. Accordingly tracing and family reunification services were also triggered.
The FMRs also provided psychosocial support to the victims & family members. Red Cross team mentioned that out of the 101 missing, 07 were and the data collected was analyzed to facilitate for family reunification.
Several injured persons were taken to Patna in a relief train. Bihar state branch had stationed a team under the leadership of its chairman, Dr B B Sinha at Patna junction. A medical post, wheelchairs, stretchers, medicines and food supply was arranged for the needy at the station and also at the hospital where the injured were taken in Red Cross ambulance/vehicles.

Big and Effective: Successful Teaching in Large Classrooms
Prof. Tammy Long, Department of Plant Biology
11:30-1:30, Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012
Biomedical and Physical Science Building (BPS) 1425
(Lunch Provided)
About the session:
It is a common misperception that large courses can only be managed through the use of didactic lectures and multiple-choice exams. While we acknowledge that large-enrollment courses pose unique challenges for both teachers and learners, this session seeks to find innovative ways to make big classes seem smaller for both. We will explore strategies for engaging students in active and cooperative learning and assessing students' learning through the use of tools unencumbered by the confines of 5 options. Throughout, we will focus on how the tools that help us manage large classes can also serve to better inform us about our students' progress in learning what we think we're teaching.

Ask Summer
4 comments:
With Daniel being gone most of the time, how do you keep the "spark" going?ReplyDeleteReplies
There is always a lot of "spark" between us. Probably not the kind you are thinking of though! I get used to doing things on the ranch the way I want, and when he gets home he is ready to run the ranch. Often times I just step aside and do things his way. But sometimes sparks fly when I insist we do things MY way! Hee, hee, But that's probably not what you are wondering... my answer to "sparks" in our relationship is this: Absence makes the heart grow fonder.Delete
Summer, I am so happy for you that you are living your dream!Way to go girl! The ranch life isn't for me but there is definately something beautiful about it that I admire! Have you ever heard of the Pioneer Woman on the cooking channel? You remind me of her, she blogs and cooks for the family, but you do more than her even! Where is your ranch?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Cherish. The Pioneer Woman is my inspiration! I love her blog and I've seen a few of her cooking shows. We are in Nebraska. I never thought I could leave my beloved mountains, but I absolutely LOVE the wide open space! I hope to inspire others to work hard and reach for their dreams, no matter how far fetched they may seem, they can be achieved! Thanks for reading!Delete

The Voice cracked the two million viewer mark for a second time this season to help the Nine Network claim the top three positions in Sunday's TV ratings.
Season three of the reality singing show drew 2.033 million viewers – its second highest figure since its premiere on May 4, which drew 2.155 million viewers.
Nine's 60 Minutes, featuring an interview with The Voice mentor Ricky Martin, was the second most watched program with 1.361 million people, followed by Nine News with 1.255 million.
A Place To Call Home for the Seven Network drew a much bigger audience following Season 2's premiere. The Australian drama, starring Marta Dusseldorp, Bevan Lee, Noni Hazlehurst and Brett Climo, was watched by 1.092 million people compared to its premiere audience of 865,000.
The Seven Network's reality show House Rules also did well at No.5 with 1.111 million.
Ten's cooking reality show Masterchef Australia also fared well in the wake of The Voice. MasterChef was 10th with 847,000 viewers.

The iPhone REALLY Does Need a Larger Display, article.
In time, technology advanced. Now we have a 64-bit processor in the iPhone 5s. The demands on the iPhone for maps, weather apps, watching videos, shopping, banking, calendaring and even reading books has grown dramatically. The iPhone has gone from being a great phone + music player + internet access device to the Star Trek tricorder of our times.
Accordingly, because of the demands we make and the performance delivered, a larger display is called for. I think it's that simple.

Nothing might be stranger about the auto industry than the fact that dozens of $1 million show cars are destroyed every single year.
Designers and engineers might work over project cars for months, but as soon as the last auto show of the season is over, the shiny prototypes you see at car shows in Detroit or Paris, New York or L.A. go straight to the crusher.
At least, that's usually what happens.
But there's a plan B as well: in-house preservation.
Now, in an event without precedent, Ford plans to sell 51 of these concept cars through
Many of the cars aren't expected to be roadworthy (many don't run or even have engines or moving parts), but a few could be made to work with minor tweaks. However, Ford will not sanction such action by the new owners. (Expect to sign a big waiver if you're a winning bidder!)
Another caveat: Not every concept car is beautiful, but then, neither are they all worth millions. Some of the ones we'll show here--especially those that have no engine or working underpinnings--can likely be picked up for a relative bargain and used as very cool conversation pieces. By the way, a number of our picks were made by
1960 Ghia IXG Concept
Designed by
1975 Ghia Manx
All right, it's a city car, something like what the Smart would eventually become, but built at a time of desperation (1973 oil embargo), not in a moment of inspiration. Ghia Manx, believe it or not, had adequate interior room to carry four adults for short distances, but short distances are all that are needed for effective city transportation. Ghia Manx also has room for luggage or packages in a storage area in front of the driver, and the rear seats fold to make a larger space available for carrying cargo--or a week's groceries. The Ghia Manx concept bumpers are designed to meet the then-prevailing U.S. 5 mph standard.
1996 Ford Indigo
Indigo was designed to measure acceptance for an Indy Car-inspired open-top roadster. The working prototype had a 48-valve, six-liter V-12 engine with doubled the displacement of the Taurus SHO V-6. It also had a six-speed transaxle with electronically regulated hydraulic shifting controlled by buttons on the steering wheel.
Ford created one complete functional Indigo that was track tested. In the course of the project, managed by Ford's New Concepts Organization, two nonworking, full-size Indigo concepts were constructed that were used to gauge market acceptance and to fulfill show commitments. Sadly, it is only the latter two Indigo concepts that are offered here, one with an interior and one without.
Space Age
1962 Ghia Selene II Concept
The Ghia Selene II concept communicated a "space" theme just right for its day. The driver sits in front in a centrally located minimalist bucket seat under a canopy. Steering is by an aircraft-style yoke. The two passengers sit behind the driver, also in the then-fashionable minimalist buckets but facing back, looking at a television screen. The doors have transparent windows that extend from the beltline to the center of the roof.
Ghia Selene II is nothing less than a cultural artifact of the beginning of the 1960s, when much of the world's population thought technology could accomplish anything.
The reality is that time is tough on dream cars. The Ghia Selene II concept's metal body is fabricated with the skill for which Ghia is known with good panel fits and even gaps. But the suspension does not appear to work and there is no engine or any drive train components. The two side doors work well but drop slightly. The paint is in decent condition, appearing to have been repainted some time ago. The seats have surface cracks but are not torn.
Green Machine
1996 Ford Synergy 2010 Concept
In 1993 the Clinton Administration announced a new organization known as PNGV, which stood for Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (mothballed recently by the Bush Administration). The idea was to greatly improve fuel efficiency, emissions and so forth, while still maintaining decent utility, speed and reasonable cost.
The Ford Synergy 2010 concept was very much conceived with the aims of the PNGV in mind and was Ford's forward-looking vision of a family car for the year 2010. This concept had been designed to achieve 80 miles per gallon fuel efficiency at one-third the weight of conventional cars. (Think of it as the precursor to cars like Honda's 2002 Civic Hybrid.)
The concept announced that power would be supplied by a hybrid system that was a 1.0-liter direct-injection gas engine that fed an electric motor. Naturally to achieve these fuel efficiencies, the concept had to save weight and the design envisaged coming in at under one ton, thanks to its construction using lightweight materials. Other whizbang features sure to age badly include a CD-ROM-powered voice recognition system.
DeLorean Look-Alike
1983 Ghia Quicksilver Concept
Sort of like a Citroen from Ford, this four-door, high-speed luxury concept, the Ghia Quicksilver concept, never led to a production car, but showed off a lot of interesting design notions (some of which would reveal themselves a few years later on the 1985 Ferrari Testarossa).
The Ghia Quicksilver concept is bodied in metal. The doors fit and work well. All windows are glass and functional. The paint and interior are both good, although the fabric covering the driver's seat is slightly stretched. It is fitted with 225/50VR-15 Pirelli P7 tires on alloy wheels.
Baywatch Hopeful
1988 Ford Splash Concept
What they made was a latter-day dune buggy. But the idea was that Splash would have driver-adjustable ride height and attitude to adapt from highway cruising to off-road dashes. The body panels above the beltline--the windows, roof and rear hatch--all are removable for summer fun. The neoprene seats brought many comments at the time Splash was introduced and were a daring departure from the velours then in vogue in production interiors.
Pacifica Precursor
1997 Mercury MC4 Concept
If only Ford weren't mired in red ink, you might have seen a sportwagon like the Mercury MC4 actually make it to production. As it is, this Chrysler Pacifica precursor is for sale, boasting a lot of the cool features that will come to fruition when that product comes to market next year.
The MC4 takes the "cool" side of the equation a bit farther, however, with center-opening doors and dual power sunroofs, as well as a split rear set of wing windows that allow access to the luggage area.
The feeling in the cabin is very airplane-like, with many beautiful nickel-plated finishes, although one of the Mercury MC4 amenities has yet to make its appearance even in the most luxurious First Class cabin: The center console was designed to have heated and cooled cup holders (which are non-functional).
The Mercury MC4 is built on a 1996 Ford Thunderbird rear-wheel drive chassis with a 4.6 liter V8 engine. Glazing is Plexiglas and the side windows do not operate.

...a christianism for sunday...! ladies you could get your "hands" cut off...!
Amazing Bible Verses: Hands Off, Ladies!
By J. M. Green at 5/04/2013
Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised… Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."Genesis 17:9-10, 14 (NIV)
Any male whose foreskin has not been cut off… will be 'cut off' from the people. I see what you did there. LOL. God, you're so witty!
Beyond initiation rites, Yahweh has very specific ideas about how the penis should and shouldn't be used, and he's not shy about letting us know. Now, don't go getting any ideas about parallels in other ancient cultures. Judaism was not like fertility cults in which sex and religion were mixed together. Oh no, all this penis stuff is simply because God invented the penis, and as a result, just wants to make sure we follow all the manufacturer's instructions and thus get the best possible performance out of it.
But, I fear that we have wandered a bit astray from the topic at hand, which is this passage:
"If two Israelite men get into a fight and the wife of one tries to rescue her husband by grabbing the testicles of the other man, you must cut off her hand. Show her no pity."
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 (NLT)
Let us change our focus to testicles. That magical location in the 'loins' where all future Israelites resided. A sacred place so important, that oaths would be sworn on it:
One day Abraham said to his oldest servant, the man in charge of his household, "Take an oath by putting your hand under my thigh.
Genesis 24:2 (NLT)
"Under my thigh"
Yep. You guessed it. Shades of the of the old high school physical hernia exam "Turn your head and cough". Can you imagine if our courts today required that men take an oath, not by placing their hand on a Bible, but by cupping balls? Apparently this was a fairly common practice in the Ancient Near East – swearing on one's own family jewels, or on those of another man.
So, in the eyes of Yahweh, it's okay for a man to touch another man's junk, if it's for a good cause. But if Israelite Dude # 1 gets into a bar fight with another guy, and is losing… let's say Dude #2 is about to smash a metal folding chair down on his head, and Dude #1's wife runs up to help her hubby and grabs Dude #2's balls, well, guess what? God is not cool with that!
She touched the Holy of Holies belonging to Dude #2, and as M. C. Hammer so famously said, "You can't touch that!" Just like Uzzah reaching out to steady the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6:6-7) she has pissed God off, and must pay.
In this case, her hand was to be hacked off.
"Show her no pity."
Sounds barbaric, I know. All out of proportion to the offense, but the Lord moves in mysterious ways and I'm sure that he had some spiritual symbolic meaning for this to beautifully illustrate. And of course, he is merciful and loving (except when he isn't).
Christians will raise the inevitable cry "But that was the Old Testament!"
Well, okay then, here is a New Testament quote for you, from Jesus:
If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than to have your whole body go off to hell.
Matthew 5:30 (GNT)
I wonder how many Bible-believers have bothered to follow this command of their master?
That's all for now. Join us again for more amazing verses revealing the uninspired Bible!
Written by J. M. Green
...a ancient and draconian Old Bible Testament, changed to a "better" more gracious God of the New Testament Bible not believed by those that wrote "inspired" the Old Testament...!
To cut a Woman's hand off then, is not as bad as orthodox evangelical women not having responsibilities as elders or preaching...! they decide nothing!
...Bro. Jesus did not kill by "stoning" the adulteress and the whores...! He said to the Pharisees, he who be without sin, be the first to throw a stone...!
I DO NOT KNOW, HOW MANY TIMES JESUS STOPPED "STONING'S", AND OTHER very grievous penalization's...!

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Brooke Mueller checked out of a Los Angeles hospital Tuesday, a week after she was admitted for treatment of pneumonia, her lawyer said.
"She was released and is doing OK," Yale Galanter said.
When Mueller -- wife of actor Charlie Sheen -- was taken to Sherman Oaks Hospital last week, her temperature was 105 degrees and she had infection in both lungs, Galanter said.
Her illness led to a Colorado judge to temporarily lift a protective order that otherwise prevented Sheen, 44, from visiting his wife.
The protective order was issued last month after the "Two and a Half Men" star was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Aspen, Colorado, on Christmas Day.
Aspen police charged Sheen with felony second-degree assault, felony menacing and a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief. He was booked under his birth name, Carlos Irwin Estevez.
A hearing on the domestic violence charge was delayed until February 8 because of Mueller's illness.
Mueller, 32, moved out of the couple's Aspen rental home earlier this month to return to Los Angeles with their twins.
CNN's Brittany Kaplan contributed to this report.

More and more brands are incorporating company culture into their social strategies. This is a great tactic for humanizing your brand while simultaneously making your employees feel valued. However, it can be challenging for social media marketers to document multiple team perspectives to provide a wholistic story.
This week at #SproutChat, we discussed incorporating company culture in a business' social content strategy. Our community weighed in on everything from getting coworkers to submit content to tagging and expectations for employee advocacy.
Humanize Your Brand
Content focused on company culture isn't going to help you reach your sales goals. But highlighting the exceptional parts of your work environment will only attract better talent and help fuel your company's long term success.
@SproutSocial A1: It's authentic, simple, and will most likely lead to an audience connection! #SproutChat
— Stephanie Zatyko (@ExperianDQSteph) January 25, 2017
A1 When employees help contribute content, it shows customers AND potential employees how engaged they are. #employerbrand #sproutchat
— Martin Lieberman (@martinlieberman) January 25, 2017
A1: it gives your organization a more human touch #SproutChat https://t.co/K4BdAA7w9k
— Josephine Borrillo (@70mq) January 25, 2017
A1: It shows your company is more than just a name by putting faces and a personal feel behind it. #SproutChat
— Jeff Higgins (@AnnaMariaSocial) January 25, 2017
A1) It also can be an effective way to build relationships. Your people shouldn't be isolated from your online community. #SproutChat
— Jeremy Bond (@JeremyDBond) January 25, 2017
A1. Your profiles sound more human, authentic and diverse, plus, your employees feel engaged to the community they are serving. #SproutChat

Ensure Consistent Employee UGC
As your organization's social media manager, you should be gathering content from company events and broader initiatives. However, an easier way to ensure variety is to ask for user-generated-content from your own employees. Ensure consistent content by setting up a protocol that doesn't include too many specifications or barriers to participation.
@SproutSocial A2 Share what types of content you want w/ voice guidelines, etc. – you're more likely to get great content. #SproutChat
— DoubleShot Creative (@DoubleShotTeam) January 25, 2017
A2: Ask for it… and set clear rules: ppl might feel encouraged to share content, if they know it's O.K. ?#SproutChat
— @AndreaTorti90 (@andreatorti90) January 25, 2017
A2: Ask them if they are doing anything cool (conferences, events they participate in) and promote it. #sproutchat
— Jessica Lynn (@JessTheWriter33) January 25, 2017
A2: Keep your writers and social media homies close and in the loop. Delegate, delegate, delegate! #SproutChat
— Venture Icon Media (@VentureIcon) January 25, 2017
A2: Recognize their contribution and empower them to share and get involved. #SproutChat
— Plumlytics (@Plumlytics) January 25, 2017
A2 – ask them what kinds of content ideas they have. Don't just tell them what box to stay in. Breeds innovation #sproutchat
— James Ellis (@thewarfortalent) January 25, 2017
A2: We keep two separate @trello boards one for user generated content and one for employee generate content. #SproutChat

Always Ask Permission
Always get consent from employees if you're going to tag their personal social profiles. Employees should have their privacy respected, even at company functions. An alternate route is to forego tagging and just use first names.
@SproutSocial A5: If the employee is OK with it, then by all means! But always tip them off to when you'll be tagging them. #SproutChat
— Jordan Bath (@jbath13) January 25, 2017
@SproutSocial A5: Definitely okay if permission is given & the account is professional/represents the company positively! #SproutChat
— Nicole Schneider (@nicolemaries__) January 25, 2017
A5. It is perfectly fine to tag or give a shout out to your employees. They're like influencers. And they are brand advocates. #SproutChat
— Ayesha Ambreen (@AyeshaAmbreen) January 25, 2017
A5B And if you're the one tagging – READ and RESEARCH the handles you're RTing. Guilty by association. #sproutchat
— Michelle (@michelletweet) January 25, 2017
A5: Oh, couple of steps.
1. Get employee consent.
2. Vet employee's social history (w/ their knowledge)
3. Define response rules #sproutchat
— Ryan Crowe (@doctorcrowe) January 25, 2017
A5 You don't need to tag the employee if you are empowering them to post #sproutchat
— Toby Metcalf (@Toby_Metcalf) January 25, 2017
Employees Should Opt-In to Advocacy
Fostering a culture of employee advocacy is a fantastic way to showcase company culture. One of the biggest benefits of an advocacy program is organic exposure via social. That being said, keep the initial efforts of your program optional and lighthearted. If employees are required to say great things about their employer, there's no doubt the tone of those messages will quickly turn sour.
@SproutSocial A6: Yes, but for best results it doesn't hurt to email employees w/ a direct link to post/tweet/link #SproutChat
— Kiyo (@Cute_Data) January 25, 2017
For this to be A Thing at your company. You should be offering some sort of training and social strategy for your employees. #sproutchat
— Ryan Crowe (@doctorcrowe) January 25, 2017
A6: It's totally fine to ask, but you shouldn't rely on them to do it. #SproutChat
— Express Writers (@ExpWriters) January 25, 2017
@thedavepepper @SortisMarketing @SproutSocial A6) If the company requires it, the employees will just get off social. #sproutchat
— Jed Record (@JedRecord) January 25, 2017
Take Note
You don't need to be a Fortune 500 Company to curate and publish great company content. Take note from these SMB companies that understand the value in incorporating company culture into their social strategies.
At Risas Dental, the team huddles before treating patients.
Goodmanson Construction showcases their service, but also their employees in a year-end wrap up video.
