3625 Prytania St., New Orleans, La., 504.304.4265
Early risers (and late risers, too, particularly those on the mend) had reason to rejoice when chef James Leeming and wife Heather opened Coulis inside the old Bluebird Café in 2009. It's a diner-style restaurant where a person can eat heartily for less than $10. The restaurant's story took a tragic turn in 2011 when James passed away unexpectedly, but the chef's presence can still be felt. That's his photo on the wall, "Coulis" was the nickname he acquired while working at Commander's Palace, and Heather still runs the place. Eggs Benicio, a stack of cheddar-jalapeno corn cakes, pork debris and hollandaise-draped poached eggs, is one of the city's best breakfasts. The pancakes are good, too. If you get the huevos rancheros, be sure to ask for them "Shaunna style."
Open: Breakfast and lunch daily. Parking: Street.
Entrée prices: $5.25-$12. Reservations: No.
Standout dishes: Pancakes, corned beef hash, eggs Benicio

UCLA waited years to have some stability at quarterback. Brett Hundley has provided that.
The Bruins had seven quarterbacks make at least one start from 2007 to 2011. Hundley, a sophomore, will play in his 27th consecutive game in the Hyundai Sun Bowl.
Start No. 28 is up in the air.
BOWL TIMELINE: Matchups, schedule and picks
Hundley will decide after the first of the year if he's returning for his junior season or declare for the NFL draft.
Should Hundley go?
Can freshman Asiantii Woulard step into the role?
An NFL scout answered the first question. Some draft pundits have projected Hundley as a high first-round pick. The scout, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said Hundley should not get caught up in media speculation.

Sir Chris Hoy leads British gold strike with the squad's second world record of the day
LONDON (AFP) — Britain clocked its second men's team sprint world record of the night to successfully defend its Olympic crown in the final against France at a packed London Velodrome Thursday.
Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Sir Chris Hoy completed their three-lap effort in a new world mark of 0:42.600, beating the record of 0:42.747 they had set earlier in qualifying.
Germany, whose gold medal plans were upset when it lost finisher Stefan Nimke to injury an hour before the race, beat Australia for the bronze.
Hoy has now pulled level on the gold medals count with British Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, who won five golds and one bronze from the Games' rowing events. The 36-year-old Scot's tally of six Olympic medals includes five gold — one in London, three in Beijing and one in Athens in 2004 — and a silver medal from Sydney.
Despite the French team's determination to avenge its defeat to Britain in Beijing and Britain missing out on a medal at the world championships in April, Hoy said the Brits knew the gold was within reach — if they had a flawless race.
"We knew it was possible. This didn't just come out of the blue, but we knew if we kept it together, we had to have the best possible race," said Hoy. "It's easier said than done. We had an excellent training camp in Newport. We had the full support of the team, and we nailed it."
Kenny, who will start the individual match sprint instead of Hoy for, was one of the team's star performers after Hindes
had given the hosts a fast start.
"I was struggling to hold on to his wheel," admitted Hoy.
The Englishman admitted they had been extra determined after their worlds campaign "went disastrously wrong."
"We kept it really tight and controlled the emotions," said Kenny. "I cannot believe how good things went today. There are a few guys here who are absolutely flying; we knew it was going to be a really close competition.
"This was probably the closest sprint competition there's ever been."
For Frenchman Grégory Baugé, the three-time world sprint champion, silver was not enough.
"It feels bitter. We've come second," he said. "After our defeat in Beijing we analyzed everything that went wrong and did our very best to improve on it.
"We just came up against a stronger British team."
German Nimke pulled out just before the race after suffering a recurrence of a back injury from a crash two weeks ago. It sent Germany's plans into disarray, forcing the squad to change positions with the addition of Robert Forstemann. In the circumstances, the Germans were happy to win the bronze.
"It was a real blow for us; we were happy that we could change positions," said Maximilian Levy. "In the qualification we just had to get amongst the top eight, that was our main goal. In so little time it's not possible to make a perfect race."
Hoy will now have several days' rest before going for his sixth gold in the men's keirin, an event in which he is a four-time world and one-time Olympic champion.

We are thrilled to bring to you some spy pictures of the evolving hybrid form of the Ferrari 599 successor. Going by the images, we guess the test vehicle sports what looks like a redesigned hood of the 599 GTO body.
It seems Ferrari 599 successor will not be just a face-lifted version of 599. Such has been the success of the Ferrari Four (FF) concept and reports indicate that the company will now come up with an all-new car replacing the 599 by late 2012.
Well folks, we won't have to wait for some auto show to get a detailed glimpse at the upcoming Ferrari 599GTO as a set of spy shots have done the job for us. The unearthed images reveal a sturdily aggressive looking commuter, something that wasn't hinted by the previous spy flicks. Coming from a French source, this set of images also affirms Ferrari's love for the two-tone look which was also spotted in the previous images. The 599 GTO will sport a 6.0-liter V12 beast that will be capable of churning 690 hp at the max. Though the official details are yet to arrive, the base 599 GTO will bear a probable price tag of €267,136 and this does not include taxes. [via via ]
The street legal version of the 599XX, the Ferrari 599 GTO is the next big arrival in the auto industry and spy photographers in Maranello managed to get a handsome look at one of its prototypes. The prototype comes with a fresh looking carbon fiber roof and a huge rear diffuser set amidst two exhaust pipes. The front bumper also looks a fresh creation and so do the grille and the wheels. On the inside, all that the spy cams could click was the new seating set-up. Engine speculations for the Ferrari 599 GTO suggest a 700 PS 690 bhp 6.0L V12 monster that will help the street legal version hit 100km/h in 3.2 seconds while topping it out at 350km/h. Slated for a debut later this year, the 599 GTO will cost around €340,000. [via ]
The brains from Modena cannot ignore the fact that the world is turning "green" (protecting the environment, more or less, that is) hence why Ferrari has confirmed the debut of a 599 hybrid, a fuel efficient version of the 599GTB.
The Ferrari 599 hybrid will be break cover at the Geneva International Motor Show in March. Ferrari made the decision public at the introduction of the 2010 Ferrari F10 Formula 1 car. Ferrari is keen on bringing the F1 technology to the street vehicles and the 599 hybrid is being considered as the stepping stone where the KERS (kinetic energy recovery system) has been evolved to reduce fuel consumption in tandem with regenerative breaking. It will run on a system based on Li-on batteries and an electronic motor which will be placed on either side of the transaxle. The KERS system will serve as electric power boosting the energy produced. The entire petrol-electric combination will improve the fuel consumption by 35% rendering combined economy ratings of 14mpg.

As it turns out, you only have to buy 1 copy per account and you can share it with ALL devices under the same account [Verified by speaking to an Apple rep on the phone]. Whoopee!! This means in a school setting, if all iPads/iPod Touches etc. were under the same account (even if it's 100s) they could all have the same ebook (and audiobook and movie). Wow! Thank you, Apple.

If it was not enough for obesity to be such a life threatening disease, it has further made clear of its position by threatening our sex lives. It has been found that obese men find it difficult to perform in bed due to factors such as low self esteem andlow self-esteem.
[Read: Symptoms of Obesity]
Psychological Effect
Performance anxiety and low self-esteem can be a big issue for men if they are obese, what's with all the modelling craze and hot beach bods making the rounds of popular culture, men are getting more and more depressed about their physique/physical fitness levels.
[Read: Herbal Cure for Low Sex Drive]
Direct Effect of Obesity
The causes for erectile dysfunction are diseases that directly affect vascular function, such as hypertension, heart disease and diabetes, and obesity causes most of these diseases. Therefore, if you are obese you by default suffer from these diseases, which will directly cause you to get an erectile dysfunction. It is also possible for obesity to directly affect erectile dysfunction by lowering testosterone levels. Testosterone, as you may know is the primary sex hormone in men, and it plays an important role in both libido and sexual function. When obesity contributes to other diseases, such as hypertension that are known factors in erectile dysfunction, the penis suddenly needs a sufficient supply of blood for an erection, and once engorged the vessels would need to close in order to maintain the erection. The diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease contribute to erectile dysfunction by damaging and constricting blood vessels and affecting the blood flow in the penis.
The only sure way to steer away from such complications is to get fight obesity by doing exercises and eating nutritious diet. This way the testosterone level will also increase, and you will shed those extra kilos in order to keep fit and healthy.

The whole thing's coming apart at the schemes.
Physicist Dr. Denis Rancourt, a former professor and environmental science researcher at the University of Ottawa, has officially bailed out of the man-made global warming movement.In a hard-hitting and exclusive new exclusive video just released by Climate Depot, Dr. Rancourt declares that the entire man-made global warming movement is nothing more than a "corrupt social phenomenon." "It is as much psychological and social phenomenon as anything else," Rancourt, who has published peer-reviewed research, explained in a June 8, 2010 essay. (Rancourt's email: firstname.lastname@example.com)Watch Rancourt video here.
the most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers and profit-driven corporations and their cartels backed by military might; and that the global warming myth is a red herring that contributes to hiding this truth.
Well, I do agree with him that the global warming myth is about hiding the truth. As for the other stuff, nah, I think it's more of a big scam by folks like Al Gore, George Soros and Maurice Strong, who want to make billions of dollars by lying to and scaring the hell (and the money) out of the world.

With turkey hunting opportunities in 49 states, parts of Mexico and several Canadian provinces, it seems like the sport might be at its zenith. But what about the future? Many folks are optimistic, but some aren't.
Consider this circa-2000 debate between two highly respected turkey biologists: Lovett E. Williams Jr. and George Hurst.
"I'm very optimistic for several reasons," said Williams, one of the country's best-known turkey biologists and contributing editor to Turkey & Turkey Hunting. "The turkey is well adapted to a much broader range of habitat conditions than we ever thought before. It's also more compatible with a human presence than we ever thought. We're seeing that when people don't shoot hens and poults, turkeys are everywhere."
Williams also believes turkey hunting has a great future, thanks mostly to the sport's unique appeal.
"Hunters are satisfied without killing a whole lot of animals," he said. "Quail hunting is hopeless. Duck hunting will one day go down the drain. But a turkey hunter can go out and be unsuccessful day after day, and it doesn't dampen his zeal for turkey hunting. Then, when he kills one, he's successful. It has that going for it, and other kinds of hunting don't.
"Turkey hunting has changed from being not much different than squirrel hunting or duck hunting … into a stylized type of hunting. People are basically accepting a kind of ethic and are adopting many of the same ideals."
Williams acknowledges that booming turkey numbers lead to increasing hunter numbers and pressure. However, he doesn't think that will cause problems.
"I think even with more turkey hunting pressure — which I think we'll see more of, because it's a great bird to hunt — I think turkeys can handle that," he said. "Also, agencies can regulate turkey hunting better than many other things."
In fact, Williams expects turkey hunting to thrive and, perhaps, outlive similar pursuits.
"I think it might be one of the last game birds that's ever hunted successfully in a long-term tradition," he said. "I think the future is very good."
George Hurst, retired professor of wildlife management at Mississippi State University, foresees a negative future for turkeys and turkey hunters — at least in the Southeast.
Hurst said the South's turkey population explosion is finished. Typically, bird populations boom and peak several years after restoration is complete. Then, turkey numbers subside and stabilize.
Also, Hurst believes urban sprawl, an increasing human population and modern forestry practices will decrease and degrade turkey habitat throughout much of the prime Southern turkey range.
"We (turkey hunters) are a tiny minority when it comes to land use," he said. "I'm looking at 5 million acres of the Mississippi Delta, the most productive soil in the country. What is it devoted to, and what will it be even more devoted to? Production of food and fiber for man — period. End of discussion."
Hurst cited heavy timber harvests in states such as Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana as prime examples.
"The South's future has to be negative, because forest products are the No. 1 crop," he said. "We're the wood basket of the nation, if you know what that means."
Trees are renewable resources, but Hurst said the short-rotation pine plantations that typically replace mixed mature hardwood/pine forests make poor turkey habitat. Many forests are cut every 15 to 20 years, and managers don't conduct any prescribed burns on these areas, Hurst said.
"Those pine plantations are not anywhere near the quality of habitat as a 60-year-old pine plantation that's burned every three to four years," he said. "A turkey says, 'You took my mature forest, which produces mast, and gave me this damn thing?'"
Modern forestry practices also fragment areas of mature forests, which adds to another problem — predation.
"The old-forest fragmentation is a thing of the deep South," Hurst said. "It increases patchiness, which is great for predators and disaster for turkeys. All the damn land use favors predation. It produces a real high prey base for feral dogs, coyotes, bobcats, hogs, owls and snakes, and makes great food sources for raccoons, possums and skunks. Wait a minute. The turkey loses; predators win."
Hurst also lamented urban sprawl in many areas, notably Georgia and Florida.
Biologists, hunters, conservation groups, hunting clubs and some other private landowners will do their part to maintain turkey habitat and numbers, Hurst said. However, it's unlikely they can gain ground against the current trends.
As that occurs, Hurst said, the number of turkey hunters will likely decrease, which spells more bad news for turkeys.
"The turkey will lose avid friends," he said. "That hurts. I lost a guy who used to go to meetings, speak out for turkeys and spend a fortune to turkey hunt. He's now buying golf clubs and all that other stuff."

Mr. Pincus, an independent consultant for McDonald' Corp., said he had been approached by a number of his former staff members about regrouping. The Financial Relations Board is currently a unit of Interpublic's Weber Shandwick. "I've had discussions with other PR conglomerates over the last few weeks," said Mr. Pincus, who is also a financial columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. He refused to name the holding companies concerned, but confirmed Interpublic was not one of them.
The Financial Relations Board, which had fee income of $32.5 million and around 300 staff at the time of its sale, was acquired by True North Communications' PR unit BSMG in January 1999. The company counted Salon.com and The Street.com as clients. But as True North merged with Interpublic in 2001 and BSMG became part of Weber Shandwick Worldwide, the company shrank in size-partly due to a dramatic reduction in merger-and-acquisition activity on Wall Street-and its dot-com clients disappeared.
Asked whether it was the right environment to launch a new agency, Mr. Pincus said: "I feel the same conditions are present today that were present in the early '80s. Stocks are depressed, shareholders are fickle, talent is available and resources have undergone significant attrition. There have been layoffs on the corporate and agency side."
No sale
Weber Shandwick CEO Harris Diamond and FRB President Donna Case-an FRB veteran-denied there was any talk of selling the unit. FRB, which employs 70 staffers across offices in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, works for General Electric Co. and Archer Daniels Midland.
Separately, Interpublic has added the management of two other PR agencies Golin/Harris International and the MWW Group, to Mr. Diamond's responsibilities. He also manages the firm's branding consultancy, FutureBrand.

For almost 60 minutes Third Division side Talywain battled manfully at Emlyn Park against the Drovers' superior running and handling skills, strength and fitness.
Within a minute Llandovery number eight Matthew Jeffreys picked up from the first scrum and fed scrum-half Iwan Mainwaring, who broke clear to put full back Celfyn Davies over for a try. By the end of the first quarter three more tries had followed as Llandovery's pace and slick handling proved all too much for the home team.
But Talywain refused to buckle and in the five minutes before half-time even mounted some pressure of their own inside the Llandovery 22.
The second quarter of the first half produced only one further Llandovery try, and the first quarter of the second just two more.
But as the Drovers' superior fitness began to tell, Llandovery's swiftness of foot and sleight of hand brought them five tries in a devastating 12-minute spell - four of them in a six-minute period after Talywain replacement scrum-half Darren Davies had been yellow-carded - and as the Talywain heads dropped Bethesda referee Haydn Davies did the right thing and called time.

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. -- Police arrested a Connecticut man on Tuesday in connection with a series of three exposure incidents.
Port Chester police said they arrested Humberto Garcia-Palacio, 30, of Greenwich at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The arrest came hours after the latest flashing incident near College and Glen avenues by a 16-year-old Port Chester High School girl as reported here by Daily Voice.
All three offenses occurred in the proximity of the Port Chester High School, police said on Wednesday.
Acting on information from the public, and a positive identification from surveillance footage, Port Chester detectives arrested Humberto Garcia-Palacio at Police Headquarters. Garcia-Palacio was charged with public lewdness. Further charges are expected, Port Chester Police Chief Richard Conway said in a press statement.
"The investigation was greatly aided by the efforts of the Port Chester School District who posted surveillance photos of the suspect on their website resulting in numerous tips to the Department," Conway said. "We are seeking the public's help in determining if there are additional incidents or victims."
Anyone with information is urged to call the Port Chester Police Department at 914 939-1000.
On Tuesday, a female student was walking to Port Chester High School when a man jumped out of the bushes with his pants around his ankles, Conway said.
The girl ran safely into PCHS, where she called her father, who notified police, Conway said.
The Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District emailed a photo of the suspect that was released by the police. Conway said the photo was taken during a similar incident reported in the past.

Morning, Afternoon and Good evening all :)
well I had a interesting weekend it has to be said!! Will Go with part 1 first
My Mother and her Chainsaw
I called my sister yesterday to say hi and catch up. She is fine by the way still world dominating !! Anyway she said mum called her well that irritated me cause mum had not called me !?!?! Why ! grrr So I thought best give her a quick call see if she is still alive and all is well. After multiple attempts and no answer to which I kept thinking for fuck sakes it is a Sunday it is the afternoon over there what could she possibly be doing ?!?! I got my answer ! And here is the following conversation we had:
Mum: Hello ( very very out of breath )
Me: Hi Mum its Louisa
she calls me back at this point to save my mobile bill ( my mummy is lovely !! )
Me: hi mum how are you ??
Mum: ( out of breath still ?!?! ) good dear how are you everything ok ??
Me: yep all is fine and dandy mum life ticking along blah blah . ummm mum why are you out of breath what are you doing ??
Mum: OHHHH !!! I got a new toy !!!
At this point I am worried and wondering if the conversation is safe to continue ???
Me: Right ok ( confused in fact at a loss )
Mum: Do you want to hear it ????? ( she of courses sounds like a over excited kid at Christmas )
Terrified now !
Me: hmmm ok ??? What is it exactly mum ??
wait for it everyone ...........................................
Mum: A CHAINSAW !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a chain saw here listen
she proceeded to put the phone down and rev up her brand new chainsaw !! All I could hear was that terrifying sound of wirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I had visions of my mum in some Jason mask laughing maniacally !
needless to say I never thought 4 years after I moved over to the UK the day would come when my mother would have me listen to her new toy, a chainsaw, over the phone.
It was sureal everyone truly madly off and so my mother loved it. Seriously been giggling about it since not stopped !
The world of Dating
This weekend went and saw the 40 year old virgin with Matt and loved it seriously wicked film!! Brilliantly made laugh a minute and freakishly realistic in some ways in regards to how men think.
Anyway went out with some of my girlfriends on Sunday foir a drink and we came up with some great amazing rules for men or at least common sense things after talking bout this movie as follows:
1. As much as we say we like new age sensitive men we do not like them so sensitive we are scared of making them bloody cry. We like them to have a back bone to be assertive always
2. We like men who act their age. Oh my sweet lord why do grown men revert to 14 year old boys when around any sort of women they like possibly like or well lets face it has a pair of tits ( boys do not call them boobies !!! We call them tits so should you for gods sakes !! )
3. Men who pay always go up in out our estimations !! We actually argued over this one at first as we do believe in equality and all that but for the first while of dating we were all in agreement. We do not like being expected to Dutch everything.
4. Sex. We do not care if you are a sex god or a never had type of guy what we do care about is that fact that again you do not act like a snotty nosed 14 year old about to get layed for the first time guys !!! Come one !! We do not like it when you do everything at warp speed this includes kissing and moving your tongue around like the damned thing is on fire !! If you need help in this department ask a mate there are also books out there read up please !!!
5. But most of all the over all opinion was that we like a guy to be confident please!! Even if you are not confident pretend begging you all to pretend. It is off putting if you are a wimp
there were more rules which in the future with the permission of the other girls will be mentioned on here but they were more serious ones!!! ha ha
right bye for now ! Comment if you like !

Hunter's Harvest Cookbook
/node/57Prepare and enjoy delicious fares like Venison with Green Pepper Sauce, Pheasant Chardonnay, Fried Quail, Pheasant Tamales, and the ever-popular Joshua Creek Ranch Wild Game Gumbo. Each delicious recipe has detailed instructions that make it easy to prepare. Many of Harvest Hunter's recipes are enduring family favorites, practical and delicious, fresh from the busy kitchen of Joshua Creek Ranch. Written by Owner Ann Kercheville and Chef Kay Read, the book includes a short history of Joshua Creek Ranch and how it has thrived in over twenty years of operation serving the country's most discerning sportsmen.
Hunter's Harvest contains original photography by famed sporting-life photographer, Terry Allen and was designed by award-winning artist Ric Dentinger. Hunter's Harvest celebrates the twentieth anniversary of this nationally recognized Sportsmen's hunting and wingshooting resort.
To create Hunter's Harvest, the editors drew from twenty years of recipes taken from a wealth of sources. Many were created in Joshua Creek Ranch's own kitchens. Others were passed down in the Kercheville families, as well as, pulling from local cuisine - the German and Mexican heritage that is indigenous to the Texas Hill Country. Determining the final recipe choices for Hunter's Harvest was a monumental feat. The Joshua Creek Ranch kitchen went into overdrive as the chefs worked their way through the archives, debating which version of a recipe was the best.
Hunter's Harvest deserves a place on the shelf of every hunter -- and every cook who prepares wild game.

April 11, 2012
Predicting the GOP presidential nominee at this point does not require a crystal ball or a celestial phone call to Nostradamus. As of today, here are the official GOP stats on the GOP race for the White House…of course those who have watched GOP politics for a while saw this coming before the primaries started.
With results from thirty-seven state primaries in the books, Mitt Romney has the GOP nod all but sewn up, and it doesn't matter whether or not the nearly sixty-percent who voted for someone else, like it. I voted for someone else too and how I feel about that doesn't matter either. It is what it is, and we have no choice but to deal in reality here. That's something every true constitutional conservative can relate to…
Three questions remain unanswered though…
Who will be the VP pick?
• Will that influence voters not yet on-board the Romney train?
• No matter what the GOP ticket looks like, will the pro-American right unite behind that ticket to defeat the anti-American left come November?
Yes, I'm quite familiar with all of the arguments against the "right-left paradigm" and against "voting for a lesser evil." However, allow me to point out a little reality for those who could not stomach John (lesser evil) McCain in 2008.
You thought you couldn't do any worse than John (lesser evil) McCain and you were wrong, you got Barack Hussein (greatest evil of all) Obama, who has since proven to be as anti-American as Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Castro, Bin Laden and Yugo Chavez combined, with Hitlery Clinton, Kagan and Sotomayor, adding insult to injury. It turns out you could do worse than McCain, and you did.
Further, as God has placed no perfect people on earth since Jesus, there are no perfect candidates either -- no matter how many times someone voted NO while otherwise watching Rome burn for twenty years.
In the horrific but likely event that Barack Obama is able to complete his first term before being dragged off to the gallows in handcuffs for treason, every pro-American voter in this country is going to have to remove him from office in the ballot box come November. But they will not be able to do that if they are focused upon any other fringe agenda…
After losing congress to leftists in 2006, the White House to an anti-American fraud in 2008 and a bunch of do-nothing rebels without a clue in 2010, pro-American voters have no choice but to upset the entire apple cart by removing every incumbent running for re-election in 2012.
Instead of funneling millions back into the RNC or DNC through the Tea Party or George Soros front orgs, the people will have to take care of this thing themselves.
Tea Partiers and Occupiers can finally agree on something…. Everyone in D.C. needs a high-speed rail to the unemployment line. They all need a lesson in who really runs things in the United States of America and it wouldn't hurt international communist thugs to see angry Americans in action for a change either.
Maybe the Occupiers had the math right at 99% to 1%, even if they defined the two groups wrong. It's us (the 99% freedom and liberty loving American citizens) against them, the 1% that work in or for Washington D.C. at a back-breaking expense to every American taxpayer.
But Houston, we have a problem!
sixty-percent of GOP primary voters voted for someone other than Mitt
Romney, making Romney the likely nominee, but with the support of only
about forty-percent of primary voters.
That's the bad new…
The good news is that many of those primary voters were democrats, independents, communists and libertarians who crossed party lines to disrupt the GOP nomination process -- not Republicans or Conservatives. Due to the stupidity of the Republican Party and their suicidal open primary process in which anyone, and I do mean anyone, democrat, liberal, progressive communist, illegal alien…. ANYONE can vote in the GOP primary.
As a result, the primary results are heavily skewed and nobody knows in what direction. The only thing we know for sure is that the open primary and caucus process does not favor conservative candidates -- One more thing we have to fix once we get rid of the idiots who thought this was a good idea. It's like asking Red China to become your liberty lienholder…. oops… the same people did that too!
How can the right defeat the leftist cabal currently rushing the nation off a cliff?
The answer is not complicated, but it isn't popular either. The choice available this November will once again be "lesser evil" or "greater evil." In 2008, some folks who knew Obama would become the greatest evil in modern history still could not stomach voting for McCain, the lesser evil option.
Admittedly, McCain was only marginally less evil than Obama in 2008 and is maybe even equally evil today. But now that everyone knows what kind of "change" Obama really had in mind for America, refusing to unite to defeat Obama is equal to a vote for Obama, the greatest evil available.
We are at WAR for our Future
Leftist anti-American communist thugs know that this is war. Whites may not be at war with blacks, but many blacks sure are at war with whites. Christians and Jews may not be at war with Radical Islam and atheists, but atheists and Radical Islam sure is at war with both Christians and Jews. The ninety-percent of Americans who don't belong to labor unions may not be at war with labor unions, but the labor unions certainly are at war with all free-market Americans, especially taxpayers. Don't forget that the unions now control the voting booths…
Occupiers might think they are at war with capitalists, but they are really at war with the people they elect, the leftists who keep them enslaved with empty promises and meager bribes from the treasury. Most Americans may not be at war with the Obama administration, but the Obama administration is definitely at war with most Americans.
Even many, who proclaim the title of patriot, work around the clock to undermine freedom and liberty from within the ranks of so-called "liberty" groups. We find ourselves surrounded by enemies and living in a sea of evil today.
We are at war for the future of America, freedom and liberty everywhere, for if it does not exist in America, it will exist nowhere on earth.
Never before in history has unity in single purpose been so vital to our future, yet, Americans still struggle to unite, focus on a single purpose and walk away from the brink of cataclysmic events.
It took the International Left over a hundred years to reach their eleventh hour and it will take true American patriots decades to pull the nation back from the brink. But all initiatives begin with stopping the runaway train and turning the tide. All strategies begin with the people, and depend upon the people to make a stand, moving inch by inch in the right direction.
The people allowed their nation to be stolen. All it took for evil to rise up was good people doing nothing to stop it. What matters now is what we do today and each day hereafter.
Like it or not, a lesser evil is an improvement over a greater evil. We lost our nation incrementally and unless the people are ready to take it back in an instant by storm, we will have to regain control and turn the tide incrementally.
Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee. All I need to know about Romney is he is a huge improvement over Obama, no matter what else he may or may not be. It is important who he chooses as a running mate, to the degree that he will need someone who can unite more voters.

However, no one or two people can turn this country around. Only the American people can do that and they will have to do it with or without any help from D.C. – or, they will leave that task to a future generation.
The first step is to not allow things to get any worse. November will present an opportunity to accomplish this first goal, stop the bleeding, and then begin the process of stepping back from the brink.
Can the pro-American Right unite to Defeat the current anti-American leftist regime? YES, they can….
Will they?

Café Uno at Shangri-La's – Eros Hotel, New Delhi Presents "Dawat-E- Awadh"
Kebabs, Biryani, Nihari Gosht.., indulge in these divine delicacies and more as Café Uno at Shangri-La's-Eros Hotel, New Delhi presents "DAWAT – E – AWADH" from 31 January – 9 February, 2014. Relish the authentic fare from the city of Nawabs – Lucknow, meticulously crafted by our team of Chefs at our all day dining restaurant for dinner.
"Awadh" is the ancient name of the modern day Lucknow. Known for its distinct flavours, these age old recipes of the bawarchis and rakabdars of the Mughal dynasty of Awadh is what forms the centre stone of Lucknowi cuisine. Awadh has been greatly influenced by Mughal cooking techniques, and Lucknow cuisine bears similarities to those of Persia, Kashmir, Punjab and Hyderabad.The bawarchis and rakabdars of Awadh gave birth to the dum style of cooking or the art of cooking over a slow fire, which has become synonymous with Lucknow today.
The hotel's Executive Chef Darren Conole along with Chef Anwar visited the city of Lucknow to research, learn and understand the diverse history of the origin of the cuisine,
Our team of Chefs will demonstrate the authentic style of cooking at live counters such as the use of live sigri, ulta tawa and, mahi tawa amongst others to highlight culinary skills reminiscent of Awadh.
At "DAWAT – E- AWADH", guests can embark on a gastronomic journey and indulge their palates in a diverse selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian offerings, each day of the festival. Guests can relish traditional starters such as Kebab – e -Kalmi, Hara Dalcha Kebab, Dal ka Lucknawi Shorba, Kacche Aam ki Macchi, Gosht Shammi Kebab, Awadhi Lamb Chops, Paneer Kakori Seekh, Aloo Nazakat and Paneer Peshawari Tikka amongst others. Main courses include Gosht Biryani, Murgh Shabnami, Mushroom Roganjosh, Fatmi Raan ki Biryani, Gosht Nargisi Kofta, Bharwan Pomfret masala, Jhinga Tak – a –Tak, Shiraji Murgh, Paneer Long Lata, Masaledar Urad vadi, Kathal Waala Pulao, Mushroom Roganjosh, Gulnar Biryani and many more sumptuous delights.
To complete the feast, guests can indulge in traditional desserts, such as Sabu Dana Phirni, Shehad wala Murgh, Sheer Khurma, Anjeer aur Badam ka Halwa, Chenna Malai Kheer, Suji aur Makki ka Halwa.
Awadhi food does not use over a hundred spices, but uses only a handful of uncommon spices. The slow-fire cooking enables the meat to absorb its juices. In addition to the major process of cooking food in Awadhi style, other important processes, such as marinating meats, contribute to the taste. This is especially the case with barbecued food that might be cooked in a clay oven or over an open fire.
The richness of Awadh cuisine lies not only in the variety of dishes, but also in the ingredients used like mutton, paneer and rich spices including cardamom and saffron.
Served for dinner, the buffet is priced at Rs2,100 plus taxes and kids buffet is priced at Rs1,099 plus taxes. Cafe Uno also offers a bucket of 4 pints of foster at Rs. 1000 plus taxes during the dinner buffet.
To enhance the dining experience, Café Uno will offer regional influences pertaining to the streets and culture of Lucknow.

Where were you seven years ago? Getting married? Flipping burgers? Eating paste? In a womb?
IGN was right here doing this.
This is the seventh year of IGN teaming with THQ to bring you an exclusive look at the Superstars of the latest WWE videogame. This year, we'll be detailing all 50 of WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008's in-ring renegades -- legends, divas and the current brawlers -- in a one-a-day format leading up to our exclusive review. What can you expect on these pages as time goes by? Well, be on the lookout for stats, bios, videos, screens and much more as we get in-depth, hands-on time with these titles.
Who gets the Countdown spotlight today? Why, it's none other than the Rock.
240 lbs.
Miami, Fla.
|He was the most electrifying man in sports-entertainment. He is also one of the most recognized faces on the planet and one of the hottest celebrities in all walks of life.
Call him whatever you want, but to the millions -- and millions -- of fans around the world, there is no substitute for The Rock.
A third-generation WWE Superstar, The Rock at first did not plan to follow in the family tradition of sports-entertainment stardom. He instead used his athletic skill on the gridiron, where he starred for the University of Miami. After a brief professional football career, The Rock decided to give WWE a shot -- a choice that would begin a new era in the entertainment world. In only a few years, The Rock was a multi-time WWE Champion and one of the most celebrated Superstars to ever set foot in the ring, having classic rivalries with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Triple H.
But it was more than his ability to "layeth the smacketh down" in the ring that made The Rock a Superstar. His quick wit, charisma and ability to talk smack earned such raves that "The People's Champion" was asked to speak to the people over and over again. His many famous public appearances included hosting "Saturday Night Live" in 2000 and a speech at the 2002 Republican National Convention.
He defeated "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan in a classic match at WrestleMania X8. When Mick Foley suffered injury and humiliation at the hands of Evolution in 2004, The Rock returned to Raw to reform the Rock 'n' Sock Connection, and the two competed as a team at WrestleMania XX in a losing effort.
That was the last time "The People's Champion" competed in a WWE ring. No matter how much time he spends away from the ring, The Rock remains one of the most beloved WWE Superstars.

Welcome to Universal Nissan in Orlando FL just outside of Kissimmee where we have your brand new Nissan waiting for you. As a locally owned Nissan dealership, we keep the costs down to pass the savings on to you, the customer. Our team and managers are always available to help with all of your automotive needs. As a premier Nissan dealer, we take the time to listen to what it is you are looking for in either a new or used car. Before trying to sell you vehicle, we need to know what you not only want, but what will be your best choice in meeting your needs and budget. The team here at Universal Nissan of Orlando will ensure that your new or used vehicle needs are met and you drive away as a satisfied customer. For years, residents in both Orlando and Kissimmee, FL have trusted us with their automotive needs. From buying or leasing a new Nissan, buying your next used car or used truck to service and parts, we can accommodate all of your needs.
We know that not everyone in Orlando or Kissimmee are looking to buy or lease a new Nissan vehicle. This is why we have one of the largest selection of used cars for sale in the Orlando area. At Universal Nissan, we not only have used Nissan's for sale, but we carry a wide variety of used vehicles from almost every major auto manufacturer. Yes we are a premier Nissan dealer in Orlando, but we also have the next used car or used truck for sale that you need and can afford. For years Kissimmee and Orlando residents have trusted Universal Nissan for all of their used car, truck and SUV needs. Buying a used vehicle is probably going to be the second largest investment you make in your life, besides buying a house. Our team will ensure you make the perfect choice that will fit both your needs as well as your budget.
The closest thing to buying or leasing a brand new Nissan is buying a certified used pre-owned Nissan. When any Nissan has achieved certified status, it has passed a very strict process and still has the manufacturer warranty. Yes we have a very large selection of used Nissan's for sale here at our Orlando dealership, however not all of them are certified pre-owned. In order to be a certified pre-owned Nissan, the vehicle must have less then 80,000 miles, be more than 6 years old and pass Nissan's 167 point certification pre-owned inspection.
My family and I have been customers of Universal Nissan for years. For our last two purchases we've come back to work only with Yogi and his immediate team. Yogi is a dedicated sales professional who really goes above and beyond to create a great customer experience. I really recommend him for your next vehicle.
I recently bought a car at Universal Nissan. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming and Victor, out salesperson, was knowledgeable and took time to learn about us and our needs. He also answered any questions we had. They worked with us to give us the best price possible and at no point did we feel pressured to buy.
We went to purchase my second car and our sales consultant Jose Zayas was amazing as always. Got me exacly what I wanted a great car great deal, and the process went smoothly as always. I have purchased multiple vehicles from him and the service has always been beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him and the dealership.
It was a great experience, the sales rep Jake Mcneely took his time answering all the questions that I had, this was my first time buying a vehicle and I can said that he made the process so simple, I am glad I when to this dealer.
From the time I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile. The service divisor yogi was friendly, and very well informed with the different vehicles I chose to test drive. Moreover, he was very funny, professional, and honestly he knew his stuff. I would highly recommend Universal Nissan to anyone who's looking for a new or used vehicle. The atmosphere was very pleasant and their sales advisors, specially yogi was patient, and very sincere. I give Universal Nissan two thumbs up.

Until now, comments from John Garrett about the 2017 Lafayette football team have been mostly rhetorical.
For example, he said, "I cherish the opportunity to be the head coach and lead the staff and players to the point where they can achieve far greater than they ever expected. That's what we're trying to do, encourage and challenge our players and coaches to be the best they can be in every aspect of their life."
But beginning Tuesday, the veteran of 25 years of coaching as an assistant will convert that rhetoric into reality when 60-some Leopards converge on Fisher Stadium for the first of 15 spring practices.
"We want to see talent and capability, reliability and dependability, instincts — all the traits that make a good player and show us he's capable of doing all the jobs required at his position," Garrett
Garrett became Lafayette's 28th head coach after Frank Tavani retired following a 17-year run that included four Patriot League championships but ended with a two-year (2015-16) record of 3-19.
Maybe that's why Garrett has declared there are "no incumbents" as he, his coordinators — Rich Bartel on offense and Luke Thompson on defense —and staff prepare to shape the unit that will be charged with the restoring the program, starting with a Sept. 2 opener against Monmouth.
The spring sessions will feature some big changes, with three of them under the lights. The Maroon and White spring game will be 1 p.m. April 22.
In a recent interview with The Morning Call, the head coach didn't address a single healthy player, only several who are on the injured list and will not practice this spring.
No pre-camp depth chart.
Garrett: "All we really know right now is we have a pretty good idea of who the offensive linemen are, who the tight ends are, who the running backs are, who the quarterbacks are, who the wide receivers are, who the defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs are. We have to go watch them, evaluate them, see how they do."
No naming of senior co-captains.
Garrett: "I emphasize to our coaches and our players that everyone is in a leadership position. You can have influence on everyone you interact with, so I encourage everyone to lead. I truly believe that those who want to lead will lead. Leaders lead. There will be plenty of opportunities for that leadership to step up. We encourage the guys to do so."
No hint of who has an inside track at replacing graduating Drew Reed as the starting quarterback.
Garrett: "We will have four competing [in spring], then we brought in several in this incoming class, two on scholarship and two walk-ons. We needed to increase the depth and competition at the position; we felt like we did a great job of that through our recruiting. It's going to be really fun to see how those guys compete and who emerges and takes charge and goes and grabs the job as the starter."
Garrett and his staff have been monitoring the offseason progress of the players under the direction of Brad Potts, the Leopards' assistant athletic director for peak performance. The second phase, morning lifting and conditioning sessions, were completed just prior to the start of the college's spring break.
"I feel like the guys have made great improvement and continue to get in better shape," Garrett said. Potts concurred, adding that some of the biggest gains have been made by rising sophomores who are going through this regimen for the first time.
Because the coaches came to Lafayette from many different directions — Garrett at Richmond, Thompson at Georgetown and Bartel at a high school in Florida last year — and because their families have not yet joined them in the Lehigh Valley, they have had a lot of bonding time.
"We see each other during the day a lot during the course of our meetings and interaction here in the office, which is a good thing," Garrett said, "and there have been occasions when we can grab a bite to eat together."
They have watched lots of film to familiarize themselves with players and have had many meetings on a variety of subjects: coaching, football, recruiting, alumni relations, community relations, academic and athletic support, so "it's a good coaches' community we're building."
But the real learning process begins this week, and the cupboard is anything but bare.
Lafayette will return no fewer than 30 players who have started at least one game in their college careers. That includes seven defensive backs, six defensive linemen, five wide receivers and offensive linemen, four linebackers and two tight ends.
The only position that is without an experienced returnee is quarterback, and Garrett will have four of them in the spring camp and four more when the 2017 recruits join them this summer.
How do you give that many players at one position the chance they'd like to have?
"You simply build it into your practice to give them reps," Garrett said without batting an eye. "Based upon how they do, they earn more reps, and those that do well continue to get more, while those who don't earn it, get less. It's pretty simple, based on their performance with the opportunities they receive."
Is it possible some of them will eventually be moved to other positions?
"We'll give them every opportunity to play quarterback, and if they want to play another position, we'll take that under advisement," Garrett said. "Just like with every position, any decision we make is based on what's best for the team. We will determine how they're doing. Basically, they really determine how they're doing. We just watch how they perform. If we believe and they believe a different position will be best for the team, then we will consider that."
That one process alone will keep things interesting until Garrett and Bartel, both more than adept at judging quarterbacks, name a starter.
Let the evaluations begin!

Sparking Rectifier Tubes
Over the years I've noticed several postings related to sparking rectifier tubes. I thought I would bring the subject up again to perhaps help some folks contemplating new builds. According to the tube data for the GE 5AR4 tube available here
for capacitor input power supplies, like the SSE/TSE/SPP, the 5AR4 needs a minimum amount of resistance in the plate supply feeding each plate of the rectifier tube. RATING TABLE III on page 3 shows that as the transformer voltage increases, more resistance is needed in the transformer circuit. In my SSE build, I used a 400V Antek toroid power transformer which has only 28 ohms resistance and 50 ohms impedance (according to PSUD software) in the secondary circuit. So I added a pair of 100 ohm wirewound resistors in series between the transformer HV leads and the PCB to comply with RATING TABLE III. I had 25 watters which I used although 5 watt rating would probably be plenty.
As far as I can tell when playing around with PSUD, there are two times when the 5AR4's current draw I(D1) rating is approached or exceeded; during inital startup to charge the capacitors, and after startup if using power hungry tubes like KT-88s/6550s in the SSE.
For the parts I used and operating conditions, adding the resistors made the error messages go away on PSUD power supply simulator under both scenarios (startup and after 11 seconds or so).
Adding the recommended optional in-rush limiter thermistors (on negative leg of B+ and in series with power transformer primary) will help for startup, but I'm not sure if they have enough resistance after warming up to limit the 5AR4 current surges when driving the bigger tubes in the SSE under all conditions as the tubes age when using low impedance power transformers.
Although most folks don't have problems, I've read about the fireworks some experience and decided to play it safe and spend a few pennies on resistors to potentially save expensive transformers and tubes.
Hopefully this will help. I'm still pretty new to all this, so feel free to chime in if I'm leading anybody astray. Thanks.

This is known to help tube life especially with new production 5AR4's too, but should help NOS too.
UF4007 diodes will be a bit quieter for a few more cents.

Adding a silicon diode in series with each plate of a tube rectifier does offer some added protection against rectifier arcing. Actually it helps quench the arc once it starts.
The rectifier tube has a tough life. It must fill the empty filter caps as its cathode is just starting to emit electrons. The filter caps look like a nearly short circuit load on the rectifier tube as it is warming up and at a fraction of its emission capacity. The tubes produced 50 years ago have a cathode coating that is nearly uniform and all of it heats at the same rate. Some of the tubes sold today have an uneven coating which heats up faster in the thin spots forcing all of the start up current to take place in a small area. The total current demands on the tube may be in spec, but the current density may be very high in one small area of the cathode. This can lead to an arc if the current density is too great.
Once an arc starts it is hard to stop. If the input filter cap has partially charged the voltage across the arc will be higher when the plate swings negative. Adding the solid state diode in series with the plate removes that negative half cycle stress from the rectifier tube, and it halves the total time of voltage stress that is feeding the arc. This 16mS of no voltage across the arc can be enough to stop it.
Adding a silicon diode in series with the plate should not cause the harsh harmonic hash that a pure silicon rectifier does since the tube is still doing the work. In a pure silicon rectifier the diode switches on rather abruptly as soon as the secondary voltage rises 0.7 to 1.0 volts above the voltage stored in the filter cap. This abrupt switch - on causes a current spike that can find its way into other circuits and into your audio.
With the tube / diode combination the diode will turn on as the secondary voltage rises 1 volt or so above the capacitors voltage, but the current will still flow until according to rectifier tubes VI characteristic as it does with the tube alone. You will just lose about 1 volt of B+.
This mod is relatively easy to do on the SSE. Simply disconnect the red transformer wires from the PC board, solder a 1N4007 or UF4007 diode on the end of each wire with the stripe on the end not soldered to the red wire, cover the diode with heat shrink tubing, and insert the striped end of the diode back inth the connector on the board where the red wire was.
This mod will also work on the Simple P-P board but DO NOT do it to the Tubelab SE board or you will not have any negative bias and your output tubes will fry!
Tubelab, it's 5 year mission. To explore strange new tubes, to seek out new circuits and topologies, to boldly go where no tube has gone before......

Hi George,
There are several reasons why rectifier diodes shouldn't be used to replace rectifier tubes in older gear. You know this, but many people don't. For similar reasons, using a #83 rectifier (or similar) as an "upgrade" causes very similar problems, being a mercury rectifier with an almost constant 15 V drop with varying current draw.
You can use silicon diodes if you also include enough series resistance to duplicate the tube versions I-V curve. I guess a purist could also install a series zener for the static voltage drop, but that's way out there. The added resistance will help with generated noise on switching, and a parallel R-C snubber across the diode will silence the beast. Snubber circuits can be seen across tube rectifiers in some designs, although this may just be a capacitor without the resistor.
The point is that there is no reason why using a silicon diode means you have to live with HF noise bursts at the line frequency. Just think a bit when the design is finalized.
One thing I didn't see mentioned is a common reason why tube rectifiers may arc. Increased capacitance used that is well beyond the maximum rated values. There is a certain designer that sold equipment that makes the twin Cetron full wave rectifiers arc. Now, that's a crime - and it's ignorant. Increased capacitance will also create more switching noise against the inductance of even simple wire (never mind the power transformer). Don't do this 40uF input capacitance is enough to get the job done.

The Quicksilver amplifiers were built using a first cap of 320 mfd. Now this helped cause the demise of the two or at least one of the 5AR4 rectifier tubes within say about 3 months of re-tubing the rectifiers.
The mod on my Quicksilver amp has kept the same rectifier tubes running in the Quicksilver amp since 2002. Since 2002 I have mentioned it a few times here in the forum. While not the perfect solution it does work quite well.

25 Awesome Homemade Halloween Costumes You Can Make From Stuff You Already Own
Every year we say the same thing, "Nope, not spending money on a Halloween costume, just going to stay in, not a chance, harrumph, bah humbug" and all that. And every year, we inevitably end up at some Halloween party, looking like the one asshole who's too cheap or too morose to wear a damn costume. So, this year, we're cutting it off at the pass (and helping you out, if you're anything like us) with ideas for 25 last minute homemade Halloween costumes, all assembled from stuff you probably have in your closet. You don't even need a very interesting closet, either.
Let's begin.
1. Daria and Jane
It's simple, really. Have you got a green jacket, a black pleated skirt and glasses? That's it for Daria. Combat boots and an orange under shirt are icing on the cake.
Alternatively, if you have a red jacket and dark denim shorts, plus opaque black tights, you're done for Jane. But you knew that.
2. Jane Goodall
Khaki shorts, khaki button down, ponytail. Bare feet are ideal, astounding natural good looks will also help. And bring a banana!
3. Mia Wallace
Uma Thurman's iconic Pulp Fiction heroine Mia Wallace is in the cheap costume hall of fame. You need cropped black pants and a white button down; that's it. Anything you can do to make your hair resemble hers is a plus, but you can do just as much with a matte lip and a cigarette. And some great dance moves, obviously.
You can also go way dark and tape a syringe to your chest. Or add a trickle of fake blood from your nose.
4. Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits
Want to be Mia Wallace but you're a blonde? Take that white button down, add jeans, pigtails and cowboy boots and you have Marilyn at her saddest.
5. A Meme
With a tiny bit of effort, you can become your own meme. Make a cardboard sign in the style of any meme and fit it around your head (or do anything else).
However, be prepared to feel absolutely crushed when you realize that this shit is only recognizable to other internet dorks like you and no one at the Halloween party appreciates that you spent $10 on fucking Fresh Step for your technically flawless Danzig costume.
6. Alfred E Newman
You didn't think this was going to be all girls, did you? Quick: think of something more charming than a girl dressed up as Alfred E Newman. …You can't.
All you need is a black suit (or even just a black jacket), a white shirt and a red ribbon tie. Then, dab on some freckles with eyeliner, and black out one tooth. Or, go the extra lazy route and press a raisin between your teeth.
7. Pris
This was our go-to last minute Halloween costume in college. You get to have a bunch of fun doing crazy eye makeup (you're never going to use all of that electric blue or hyper-pigmented red Urban Decay pot, so now's your chance), then you just grab whatever black goth-y stuff you've got laying around. Cut out the crotch of an old pair of tights and poke your head through, add a black duster or a leather jacket. You can do garters, too, but we tend to shy away from anything especially SEXY on Halloween.
Also, 7.5: If you take the exact same outfit and do wildly different makeup, you end up with Siouxsie Sioux.
8. Grace Slick
Got anything paisley? Or fringed? Perfect. Whatever flower child-looking boho crap you've kept from Sienna Miller's reign of relevance will work. Long brown hair is a plus.
9. Quailman
Another budget costume hall of famer. Pull tightie whities on over some shorts, add a towel cape and a belt around your head. No one remembers any other details.
10. Sporty Spice
The cheapest Spice Girl to imitate. Got sneakers, a sports bra and some running pants? Doodle on some tattoos if you're feeling really ambitious. Or you could just…
11. '90s Gwen Stefani
Swap out those running pants for some Dickies, add red lipstick and a Bindi. You're peak Gwen.
12. A Tourist
Ugly shirt, shorts, socks, shoes. Add a camera, fanny pack, and shopping bags for flare. Walk shoulder to shoulder with four other people all damn night. And stop abruptly in high-traffic areas.
13. A Crayon
Dress in one color head-to-toe because this is really, really last minute. Look, we had to come up with 25 ideas. They can't all be good. And it's still better than going as a Sexy Crayon.
14. Little Edie
A scarf on your head (fastened with a broach), a sweater and a laissez-faire attitude about mocking mental illness and you're all set.
15. Static Cling
Safety-pin hand towels and socks all over your regular clothes.
Sorry. This sucks. Do this if you suck.
16. Nico
Another fallback we used in college. Long coat over a turtleneck and mini or short '60s shift dress. Then stare coldly at people and sing-talk in a very deep voice.
17. Beast Jesus
With the right makeup and a cloak, it can be done. And it has.
18. Cher Horowitz
Plaid is great here, but not necessary. Just about anything you have that screams '90s will do: knee high boots with a chunky heel, mini skirts, babydoll dress, berets and (ideally) fuzzy pens.
19. Courtney Stodden
Make this face all night. Seem kind of out-of-it and wear a tube dress with lucite heels. Lest people confuse you with every vapid succubus on reality TV, occasionally blurt that you "majored" in [your boyfriend/girlfriend]. But, really, it's all in the expression.
20. Bridget Jones
Pajamas, an empty Haagen Dazs container and despondence. Sensible underwear if you're very committed.
21. Frida Kahlo
This one is so easy and so good. With some eyeliner, draw on a unibrow (and maybe the faintest moustache). Put up your hair with a huge array of flowers and then mix bold colors and prints. Add a bolo tie if you're nasty.
22. Harriet the Spy
You may not have a magnifying glass, but you probably have a raincoat, a hoodie, sneakers and the ability to write PRIVATE on a notebook. Hook a hammer and wine opener into your belt, for costume (but also wine) purposes.
23. Personal Style Blogger
Take all your prints and wear them at once. Wear socks with heels, piles of "statement jewelry," a shitload of bracelets and haphazardly arrange some random shit in your hair.
24. iPod Ad
If you have an iPod, black pants, shoes and a long-sleeved black top, you're all set.
25. Julia Child
The last Halloween party we went to (the one where we went as Danzig and no one recognized us), we were completely in awe of a girl who went as Julia Child. Granted, she was amazing at The Voice, but she otherwise just wore an apron over a housedress with pearls and she carried around a wooden spoon all night. You can do it just as easily with the same materials (though we're never one to pass up utilizing a rubber chicken, if possible).
Oh, and Happy Halloween!

Saving Energy
- Swap your standard light bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs to save energy. If everyone in the US did this – enough energy would be saved to light 3 millions homes every year.
- Adjusting your thermostat accordingly over the year can help you save energy and money. Decreasing it by 1 degree in the winter alone will save you 5% on energy consumption.
- If you are lucky enough to live where you work, try biking or walking to work as opposed to taking the car. Or if that isn't an option – try the bus instead to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Saving Water
- By going veggie, you could save a substantial amount of water. Did you know it takes approximately 2500 gallons if water to produce one pound of beef?
- To save water at bath times you could shower with a friend. A full bath tub uses around 70 gallons of water but a quick 5 – 10 minute shower only uses around 20.
- Fix the leaky sink and toilet! A leaky toilet could waste around 200 gallons of water every day.
- Get yourself a worm farm to reduce your food waste and make your very own nutritious compost for your garden and plants.
- Grab a few Bags for Life and reuse them every time you go shopping. A staggering 1 trillion plastic bags are discarded every year.
- Recycle old electronics as this is now one of the fastest growing waste product!
