The Runner's Palate: Tres Leches Cake...Yum! .quickedit{display:none;}
In my opinion, Cinco de Mayo is America's reason to drink Corona and down nachos, chips and salsa. Hey...why not?? Right?
Because my friends at school jump at the chance to celebrate everything and anything, we had a Cinco de Mayo lunch on Thursday where we all brought different dishes to the table.
Normally I would make homemade salsa, but this time I signed up for my husband's favorite...tres leches cake {milk cake}. Traditionally, this cake is made with three types of milk {obvi}, but the recipe I use calls for four.
My husband would have been really upset if I made only one cake and took it to school, so I baked two...one to take and one to leave at home.
First, I followed the recipe instructions for the cake portion. Once removed from the oven, I poked holes throughout and set it aside to cool. Note: I like to use throw-away tins for items taken to school so I can just leave them there and not worry.
Once the cake is cooled, follow the recipe by combining the three types of milk and pour over the cake. The liquid will seep into the holes and the sides to create a ridiculously moist cake.
Whip together the heavy cream, vanilla and sugar and spread over the top of the cake. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
I hope that you enjoyed your Cinco de Mayo this past weekend. I know my household {and my friends at school} were perfectly happy with this cake since it's crazy good. I highly recommend trying this recipe!

My Bytchen Blog: Friendship
As those of you that know me are aware, I have been recovering from surgery on 12/26 to remove my tonsils, part of my uvula and part of my soft palate.
There were 2 reasons for the surgery.
1. I have spent the majority of my life with tonsillitis .
2. I have sleep apnea.
Now #2 is most important in relation to my fibromyalgia . One of the symptoms of fibromyalgia is fatigue that is often compounded by lack of healthy sleep. My thinking is that sleep apnea is not helping the situation. Since there was a solution available, it was in my best interest to try.
All that being said, I have had a lot of time to look inward as well as be a quiet observer outwardly.
Looking inward has brought forth some important questions and possibly some answers. I came to wonder: what is a good friend? And naturally the next question that came to mind is: Am I a good friend?
A good friend is someone who is there for you without you necessarily having to ask them to be. Good friends are few and far between but I do have some. Distance becomes somewhat of an impudence but that doesn't change the fact that there are people in my life that I know I can pick up a phone and they will answer.
Now the second question had me very worried because I don't think I can just unilaterally declare myself a good friend. I know that there are some that no matter what time day or night, I will answer their call and help to manage their latest crisis . But I also know that I have made some promises to help a friend proofread something but due to dealing with health, kids & work, I didn't do it. Just doesn't feel very friend like to me. I also wonder if a crisis should arise for certain friends,who have always been there for me, would I be the person they call? I don't know. Does that make me a bad friend?
Or is there a balance? Are we constantly paying it forward? I listen to Jane meanwhile Jill listens to me. With all my introspection, I didn't come to a firm answer......am I a good friend?
Only a true friend could answer that for me.....and if I'm not, please tell me, how can I be better?

Killer held on return from Bangladesh - Times Of India
You are here: Home>Collections>New DelhiKiller held on return from BangladeshTNN Aug 4, 2012, 02.00AM ISTTags:Mohd Khairul|killer|Bangladesh NEW DELHI: A Bangladeshi burglar who had fled to Bangladesh after murdering his best friend for allegedly having an affair with his wife has been arrested. Mohammad Khairul alias Armaan Chandni Mahal of Khulna in Bangladesh was arrested after he returned to Delhi last week and formed a new gang. An iPhone, a Titan watch and Rs 12,000 were recovered from him. On August 1, the north district police got a tip-off that a person named Mohd Khairul who has committed a number of burglaries in Delhi and has been declared a proclaimed offender in a 2003 Rohini case would come at Gupta Market. They arrested him from there.
Khairul said he had come to Delhi illegally through the border in 1997 in search of work and joined the Munir gang of burglars as he needed Rs 600 daily to buy drugs. He was arrested in 2003 for the first time. Khairul remained in jail for 27 months and went back to crime after bail. Later, he was declared a proclaimed offender in the same case, cops said. He told police that he had met a person called Sattar in Delhi and they soon became close friends. Khairul's wife, Parveen, had allegedly developed an affair with Sattar, who was handsome and attractive. Once Khairul got to know this, he stabbed Sattar to death on November 11, 2011. He then fled to Bangladesh and returned to Delhi last week.

A View from the Top | The ERM Current™
← Rising Interest in ERM Continues
A Renewed Focus on Risk →
Yesterday in the Financial Times, Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, provided his view of the current crisis and how risk management can be improved in the future. Unlike many CEOs, Mr. Blankfein was particularly candid in his viewpoint and offered some solid insights. Here is a sample of what he had to say.
…complexity got the better of us. The industry let the growth in new instruments outstrip the operational capacity to manage them. As a result, operational risk increased dramatically and this had a direct effect on the overall stability of the financial system. Risk and control functions need to be completely independent from the business units. And clarity as to whom risk and control managers report to is crucial to maintaining that independence. Equally important, risk managers need to have at least equal stature with their counterparts on the trading desks: if there is a question about the value of a position or a disagreement about a risk limit, the risk manager’s view should always prevail.
This perspective is encouraging and should be adopted by more chief executives and boards of directors as we work to strengthen our risk management practices.

Internet Audiophile: February 2012
The mood was jovial at City Winery in Manhattan on a recent February Tuesday. There were some southern gentlemen in the house and their aims were pure enough. The Southern Gentlemen tour is the collaborative arrangement between Ed Roland of Collective Soul and Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra. Both bands stake their roots in the south (Georgia and New Orleans, respectively) and from the ambling demeanor of the evening, both appear headed for the same ends as my dear old grandpa and others I'd met while living in the south. Folks in the south could just go on for days about anything and everything (which, coincidentally, appeared to be the narrative of the Southern Gentleman show). They spoke about their families, their kids, their misadventures one day prior to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and their love/hate relationships with their respective bands (which, Roland says, is like another marriage).
Six minutes past the top of the hour and there was a fair amount of seats towards the rear which sat vacant. I wondered if that would change as the night progressed and it really didn't. Throughout the evening though I learned that the Southern Gentleman Tour began in this same venue months prior. Many of the fans who were here on this February night were also here in October. And it was a Tuesday night in the middle of winter; so in a way I understood the sparse audience. This seemed more of a thank you to the die-hards; fans who were there were cheering in full support.
When the two hit the stage I must admit I was a little taken aback but for different reasons. Anyone who knew Collective Soul in the 1990's knew that Ed Roland had something of a Jesus/wrestler thing going on. He had long hair, a beard, and appeared very muscular. He struck these epic poses, he led his crew around; shepherding them through their troubles as it were. Roland today looks totally different. He came out in professorial spectacles, had a curly gray bob-haircut, and had a suit jacket on. Having just brushed up on my Collective Soul earlier in the day I had to admit I was a little surprised.
Kevin Griffin looked the same. Basically the same. Tall and skinny. Roland I would later discover is only a few years Griffin's senior. However it was something about their respective dispositions which also made an impression. For Griffin who did a lot of the talking; he seemed very comfortable with Roland (and their percussionist/accompanist) and comfortable with the audience. Roland on the other hand seemed very comfortable with his stage-mates. And he communicated easily enough with the audience; it just didn't appear to be what he preferred to be doing. I don't know if it was just the way he was feeling this night but I got the impression that Roland was much more comfortable playing than he was performing.
These two showmen didn't waste any time jumping right into the fracas with one of Collective Soul's more well-known numbers, "December." They played a couple of songs together before Roland took to the stage himself to play some songs of his own, Collective Souls, as well as another group The Sweet Tea Project.
Songs rolled off his guitar which I was unfamiliar with. Lyrics like "Goin' to Birmingham" and "When it comes down to love" were in the mix. Then he introduced two new songs. "You Said That You Loved Me," had a droning and monotonous repeat of title or the line "it was a long time ago." The song ends with refrain Amazing Grace ("…how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me…"). All I could think was some songs should stay in the studio. Apparently his wife agreed. He wrote this just the week prior (or so he says) and played it for her on Valentine's Day. She rejected it so he wrote an upbeat poppy tune, "All I really need is love." This song was full of biblical allusions "walk the earth," "once was lost," "lift you up." However when he capped off this tune with the same refrain from "Amazing Grace" it was funny. So I guess the lesson here is that you never know what you've got until you tag it with a familiar refrain. He also played a surprisingly reflective, quieter, almost pained version of another one of Collective Souls more well-known songs, "The World I Know."
Kevin then came on and played some of his songs. It's interesting I have very detailed notes from the Roland solo session but my only notes about Griffin's time was "Kevin played..." I think that's because he was a lot more entertaining. Don't get me wrong I liked Roland's songs but I guess it's akin to studying for a test or going to a birthday party. Or so it seems to me.
The whole of the evening came across less as a Southern Gentleman's tour and more of a real mellow jam session between friends. Their whole thing was just two singer songwriters telling stories, razzing one another on the couch.
I am more familiar with Collective Soul than Better Than Ezra, but I was shocked to find all the work that Griffin had done on popular songs with artists. The two guys had stark contrast in their demeanor. Griffin appeared that he could care less. He was impersonating Bono and took the stage as MASTERS OF RAWK!
Roland on the other hand was a lot more reserved. His demeanor was open but he looked tired. He appeared to almost be saying, "are you serious? You guys are going to let me play another day?" - as though he knows his jig should have been up. But he's a good musician. So he should just milk it. Maybe Roland is moving into a different phase in his life. Griffin on the other hand was busy singing about Daisy Dukes and Ugg Boots. I could picture Griffin being the kind of guy to leave the toilet seat up, as it were.
When both reappeared they played songs like "Shine" which had the extended "Midnight Train to Georgia," remix and "Good". The whole crowd remained engaged for both choruses and requisite "YEAH" or "Aha."
For their encore they came out and played a really brief medley of "Wonderwall," "Kids" (MGMT),"Shattered," "Feel Good Inc," "White Wedding," and I think that was it. And then the show was over. The lights came up, the doors swung open and we all spilled out into the streets.
And everyone who'd been to that show on that night couldn't stop smiling.

RWE now plans to have 3.5 gigawatts of renewable capacity by the end of 2014, Chief Executive Officer Peter Terium told the company’s annual general meeting today in Essen, Germany.
The company said last month it would cut renewable-energy investment by half from next year as it seeks to reduce debt and counter falling earnings. It said in March it wouldn’t meet the 4.5 gigawatt target by 2014, without giving a new number. RWE, building a 1-billion euro ($1.3 billion) wind farm in the North Sea, will spend about 500 million euros on its Innogy renewables unit in both 2014 and 2015, after 1 billion euros this year.

Liz, I'm finally reading your post! Your review is great - thank you. These may be beyond GB's reading level, but I think I'll give them a try. I may read them along with him - he definitely enjoys mystery/adventure themes.
Maureen January 26, 2010 at 5:59 PM
Oh, Liz! Dearest Liz!
I was just thinking, "I have been a woefully awful internet friend and have not been to Liz's blog in a while" and then I pop over here and see you talking up one of my favorite book series of all time. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these books, The Dark is Rising especially. (By the way, avoid the movie if you bump into it. Very Very Bad). And for all the same reasons.
So as usual, I go to visit Liz and feel like I'm looking in the mirror. It's downright odd sometimes!

Every once in a while, someone walks into the shop and I am am pretty sure I know them - but I can't remember how. My favorite surprise visitor happened over 8 years ago in New York. It was later in the afternoon - right before we closed up for the day...was it 3:00? No - it was probably 5:00!! A woman walked in dressed in black with oversized dark glasses on. She took her time looking around and then quietly loaded up the counter with piles and piles of the most unusual collection of objects and scraps. After about an hour, she had circled the loop at least 5 times, and, finally asked for her bill. I asked her what she was going to do with all of these bits and pieces and she told me she made small art sculptures. After I had written up her bill and it came to more than what we had made all week, I asked what her name was, she replied "Gloria" and then after about 30 seconds, "Vanderbilt" - I was so thrown that all I could say was "Of the jeans??" She was gracious enough to say yes and explain that that was just one of her many artistic endeavors over the years.
Gloria's visits continued - she had found a shop of curiosities - and considered French General her secret. Early in the morning we would arrive at FG and there would be a large black car with tinted windows, a driver and Gloria - patiently waiting for us to open the doors so she could dig before hours. I think she was happy to have the place to herself - with time to imagine and plan out her next project. She seemed to buy everything we had in quantity - if she saw a box full of waxed lilies - she wanted the lot of lilies, old cardboard box and all. A shopper after my own heart. Once she came in and invited us to her art show in Tribeca - of course we went, just to see how she had used some of the old pieces she had found at French General.
I haven't heard about Gloria in years - although I watch her son every night at 10:00. I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who tells me he's a nice boy - and my mom has a crush on him! It's nice to know Gloria raised such a good kid and was artistic on the side.
In honor of Gloria - wherever she is (hopefully still in New York City!) I have an odd giveaway....a box full of snails. Early, hand-made chenille snails on wire- in their original box!! What you are going to do with these snails....I have no idea.....but it is the kind of oddity that Gloria would have left her coffee cup behind for - which she once did.
A box of slugs for your favorite surprise encounter story - Sofia will dig out a name on Saturday or Sunday....

I have never been a "neat desk" person. I have many friends who are - and I am really jealous of their ability to put everything in the right place all the time. Every once in a while, Molly will come to FG and "organize" me. I like all her "systems" but I can't seem to make them work for very long - I think it's a case of Lazy Itus.
Tomorrow Victoria Magazine is coming in to shoot the shop. I spent some time today setting up a couple vignettes and then I took a look behind the curtain, into my office. This was what I was confronted with. I realized there was little hope....with less than 24 hours to go.
I am a collector - and not a very discriminating one...just a collector. There are piles of catalogs, magazines and old photographs. The walls are littered with drawings, photos of Sofia and thank you cards. My desk is more like an inspiration board - but the inspiration is so layered that it is almost hidden! Something drastic has to happen - I need to clear out the space - make room for new ideas. But I'll worry about that next week.
Tomorrow I'll have to pull the curtain and hope no one peeks behind it.
I hear you - I think this question about how an artist makes ends meet is important - how does one combine creativity with making a living. When I lived in New York and decided to design a line of jewelry, with just a few beads and a tube of glue, I felt like a poser. I hadn't studied jewelry design in college - so how in the world did I think I could start a jewelry business and actually charge people for my work?? I spent a couple of months in therapy pondering on this quandary...how could I ever make a living off of creating something that I loved?
What I learned was that I had the power to design my own life. I was the one in charge. Yes, it helped that I had JZ who was willing to let me explore this path for a while without having to worry about paying the rent. In the end, I realized that what I had to offer was different than everyone else - and if I was willing to take my thought process, my creativity and push it a bit further - I knew I would feel satisfaction and maybe even be able to pay the bills eventually.
Someone told me a long time ago to put my own mark on everything I do - to personalize everything. At the time, I wasn't really sure what she meant - I thought I was putting my own stamp on everything. Years later, I realized that she meant EVERYTHING - everything is important and means something to someone. I have learned with French General that although sometimes I am bored with what I am doing or frustrated with the day - I am making a living by being creative everyday...I've learned to enjoy the process and take it day by day.
I hope you are able to find a way to create, inspire and earn - it's a fulfilling opportunity and one I think we should all strive for. Good luck!
Everyday, I find myself thinking of a whole new job for myself. Right now, I want to become a Color Linguist. Yesterday, after running downtown and finding (yet another!!) old stash of millinery goods, I wanted to become a hat designer. When I see Alexis Bittar's jewelry at Nordstrom, I want to become a jewelry designer. A couple of months ago I wanted to work at the Magic Castle here in Hollywood. Visiting old friends in New York, I wanted to become an artist with a loft in Brooklyn. It's a curse, I want to try so many things. When I drive by Joe Blasco Makeup Center on Hillhurst, that's right, I want to become a make-up artist. The list goes on and on. Then I got an e-mail from Moda yesterday saying "When are we going to see the new fabric and products for the Fall line?" and I thought - Oh yeah, that's right, I'm a fabric designer right now! I love it.
I just thought I would give you an idea of what I had to go through this weekend....
That's right - hundreds of ideas and names for that old, dusty white...I had no idea there were so many ways of describing a color - Pantone are you out there!? It's almost impossible for me to choose just a couple - so I have asked some creative types to help me out with this...and although it was tough, these are the names that kept coming up: Brocante Blanc, Waxen White and Winter Linen. Thank you everyone for submitting such creative stories and colors - I see a whole book filled with antique color descriptions! If the lucky winners e-mail me their information, we will put a jewelry kit in the post asap! Merci!
Finally! Information about our Chateau Getaway in France this summer. I apologize that I have not been able to e-mail everyone individually - the comments and e-mails got a little overwhelming! If you are interested, please sign up for a spot soon - rooms are limited! Merci! See you in France!
Today as I pulled out of the driveway at French General, a young man walked up to me and asked me if this was French General. Yes, I said (duh, I thought - just look at the sign!) I looked over - to kind of motion towards the sign - and it was gone. That's right - someone had taken our sign - and believe me, we needed it - nobody ever knows where we are! Who would need an old sign like that, I wondered? As I sat there gazing towards the missing sign, another man walked up to me and out of the blue said, I always keep an eye on this place - whenever I am in the neighborhood, I sit here on your wall and watch this old house. I asked him if he knew who had taken the sign. He said he hadn't even noticed it was missing. So there you go. Visitors beware - there is no sign at French General anymore...you'll just have to know we are in the little pink house at the elbow in the road. Good luck!
A couple of weeks ago, Dawn and I decided to go digging downtown for some old millinery. After we finished digging at our regular spot, California Millinery, I told Diego (our favorite "boy behind the millinery counter") where we were headed to next....an old French flower importer on Broadway. He looked at me with wide eyes and asked "Who told you about that place?" I mentioned a woman who had come in to French General and given me scattered details of her favorite vendors downtown. Diego said, "Nobody knows about that place - don't tell anyone you know about it. And by the way, they moved - they left a long time ago." He eventually wrote down an address. I thanked him - and immediately walked over to the original address on Broadway. Sure enough - the place had been empty for years - not a petal on the floor.
A few days later, we were ready for the adventure - we packed up water bottles, a bag of snacks and rubber gloves - we had no idea where we were headed, but we had a map and the name of an old flower importer that had moved to South Central LA - sounded good to us!
Even though I am from Los Angeles, I don't think I had ever been to South Central - straight off the 5 South, it's a neighborhood that used to have a pretty rough reputation - but that was 25 years ago - everything changes. After getting lost a couple of times - and using our Spanglish one too many times - we found a very old storefront with no name and metal bars across the windows.
At 10:00, we had arrived ten minutes before the owner did. When Liliana finally walked in, we knew we were in the right place. Liliana had worked for the original flower importer on Broadway for over twenty years. When the owner died, she and her friend bought the business. Liliana explained how her friend had run off with all of the money and all Liliana was left with were the flowers....warehouses full of them. My curiosity was piqued.
We began to dig through boxes and boxes of flowers - navy blue roses, kelly green camellias...nothing was quite old enough. Liliana kept looking at us and saying "But that's old - that's from the sixties" - we would just shake our heads and say, not old enough. And then, finally, Dawn opened a box that was filled with old creamy white velvet carnelians ...we had struck gold. We continued to open every box in that old shop, knowing that there must be more. Eventually we had amassed a good supply of old millinery - velvet peonies, hand-painted rose leaves, organza sweet peas, black strawberries - we were satisfied.
At the end of our dig, we shared a few tangerines, laughed about my obsessive behavior and eventually said goodbye. Our car was full and we felt satisfied knowing we had dug deep and found what we were looking for. Sometimes a dig doesn't turn out so good, sometimes you come home feeling like you were on a wild flower chase.....but this time, we not only found old French flowers, we learned about the business from someone who had been in it all of her life. Good times.

Cheesecake – peneplope
July 12, 2017 July 10, 2017 Posted in Cheesecake, No bakeTagged butter, crackers, cream cheese, icing sugar, tim tam, vanilla, whipping creamLeave a comment
I just have a few tim tam assorted flavours lying around and I got bored with eating it. I also have half a pack of whipping cream I have to used up. So, I decided to incorporate cheesecake and tim tam together. You can use any tim tam or any chocolate for that matter, I used a mix of blackforest tim tam, coconut mint tim tam and caramel tim tam. Depending on the slice, each bite gives me a different flavoured cheesecake.
6-inch springform
50g graham crackers, crushed
2 tim tam biscuit, crushed
1 227g cream cheese, r.t
1/2cup powder sugar
1/2tbs vanilla
5 tim tam biscuits, cut into chunks
Add butter to the crushed crackers and tim tam until it feels like wet sands.
Press the mixture over the base of the springform.
While waiting, make the fillings by beating the cheese and sugar until fluffy.
In another bowl whipped the whipping cream until soft peak form.
Add in the vanilla to the cream cheese mixture and stir.
Gently fold in the whipping cream and gently fold.
Add the tim tam biscuits and mix gently.
Pour the mixture over the crust and smooth the top by tapping it a few time.
Set in fridge for at least 4 hours.

2 3-inch springform
60-70g graham crackers, crushed
Add butter to the crushed crackers until it feels like wet sands.
Divide equally and press the mixture over the base of the 2 springforms.
Add in the whipping cream and gently fold.
Pour the mixture equally over the crusts and smooth the top by tapping it a few time.
October 18, 2016 July 10, 2017 Posted in Cheesecake, No bakeTagged butter, cream cheese, gelatin, oreos, vanilla, white sugarLeave a comment
One of the easiest cake to make is the no bake Oreo cheesecake. There are just so many recipes out there that you can follow. Last Saturday, I decided to follow with any recipe with whipped cream in it. My cream was half frozen and after whipping for a minute, it turned to butter instead. So I had to improvise and use a recipe taken by a few of cookbooks.
While it’s supposed to be a taller cake, I drop some of my cream cheese mixture, so my cheesecake looks a bit unproportionate.
2 227g cream cheese, soften
2tsp gelatin (mix with 1tbs water)
Add butter to the crushed Oreos until it feels like wet sands.
In a small bowl mix the gelatin and water and set aside.
Add in the Gelatin and stir. (If gelatin turned solid, microwave it for 5secs until liquid)
Add the rest of the Oreos and mix well.
Pour the mixture over the Oreo crust and smooth the top by tapping it a few time.

Now this is a cake to bake for the whole family. Or something you can eat for 8 days straights. I would have to learn to divide the ingredients and just make a portion for 2, but I was trying to get rid of my cream cheese. I was baking a sultana cake (total fail), and broke 2 eggs and had half of 250g butter left. Since it was soft butter, I just had to do something.
This recipe is taken from joyofbaking.com but I did roughly adjust the ingredients.
Make 16 mini servings
160C preheated oven, 9inch square tin lined with foil
150g dark chocolate (I use 100g 80% cocoa, 50g 65% cocoa)
227g cream cheese (I use Cowhead)
Melt butter and chocolate, I use a double boiler.
Once cool, whisk in the sugar and the vanilla extract.
Mix in the eggs, one by one.
Add in the flour and salt, then mix until no more white can be seen.
Pour almost all into baking tin, leaving a palm size gallop for the marbling.
To make the cream cheese, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Pour the mixture slowly on top the brownie mixture.
Drop the remainder brownie mix in 4 by 4. I just randomly drop them.
Use a toothpick/skewer or butter knife and swirl the mixture together to get a nice marble effect. (I pretty much rubbish at swirling)
Baked for about 30 minutes.
Let cool and chill in fridge for a few hours cause cheesecake is best served cold.

And Nothing Else Matters - Charlton Athletic F C: The Iron Show Their Mettle
The scoreline was as changable as the weather. A sunny Valley later saw the home team depart under something of a methaphorical dark cloud as 2 points were lost in the last quarter of the game. To be fair a draw was the right result as Scunthorpe played their part in an entertaining game. They never sat back and were indeed unlucky to go behind. Up to that point I felt they'd had the greater possession if not threat. We probably didn't really deserve to extend the lead soon after the break either.
Why Stephens came over to play keep ball in the corner to waste time when Green was waiting to deliver a corner I don't know. It was negative thinking and we need to be more postiive than that. The negative thinking was enhanced when Doherty came on for BWP. Sir Chris has done that twice at home now. His presence didn't prevent the second goal and again sent out the wrong message. The result was when we needed a third goal there was only one stiker in Euell on the pitch. We should look to play to our strengths and not be so negative.

Songwriter Ashley Monroe finally has her moment - Yahoo News
Watch live: Armed prisoner who escaped hospital has been captured in D.C. Songwriter Ashley Monroe finally has her moment
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — John Grady recently handed Ashley Monroe a box filled with copies of her new album, "Like a Rose." He'd rushed out of the building and caught her in the parking lot. The arrival of the CDs was a milestone moment for the country singer-songwriter and her manager, the culmination of nearly a decade of work together.To be honest, Grady was a little misty.Not Monroe. She tossed the box in her car, put the vehicle in drive and headed right on down the road. Just like she's always done. Throw out any obstacle and Monroe will deal with it."I'm just now learning that there is a master plan," Monroe said. "Because there's been many times where I've looked up at the sky and thought, 'Really? What am I doing? What am I supposed to be doing?' But now I'm seeing all the good and the bad that I've lived and experienced just kind of come together. OK, all that was supposed to happen."Need proof?Witness the glowing reviews and warm reception she's received for "Like a Rose," co-produced by Vince Gill, a modern take on traditional country music.She's a member of the country music supertrio Pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert.And what about that blingy engagement ring from Chicago White Sox pitcher John Danks?Seems like everything's wrapped up with a nifty bow for Monroe at age 26. But track her story back to when she was 14 and you get a picture of just how far she's come.Monroe lost her father to pancreatic cancer when she was 13, and for a while, her mother to grief. That's when she started writing songs."I thought, 'I've got to get this out,'" she said. "It was so heavy and so sad and everything had changed so drastically."By 14, she was trying to pull her Knoxville, Tenn.-based family back together. She did so by taking a bold step."I said, 'We've got to start over. We can't be in this town. It's going to poison us. Everywhere we go people are going to be like, "Are you OK?" or judging us because we weren't making the healthiest of decisions, any of us,'" Monroe said."It was just grief. We were just saturated in grief. I said, 'We've got to move to Nashville. We've got to start over. We've got to get a new scene and I'll write every day and we'll make this work. We've got to make it work.'"And for a while, it did. Only 15 when she started to haunt Music Row, she caught the attention of songwriter Brett James almost immediately and soon met Grady, who was then president of Sony Music Nashville. Grady guided her into her first record deal and in 2007, Monroe finished her first album, "Satisfied."However, "Satisfied" was caught in the gravitational forces of a merger and was never released by the label. She put it on iTunes in 2009 and jokes that 500 people have bought it over the years.Monroe returned to writing and worked with everyone who'd take her call. She didn't limit herself to country. She'd pop up all over town, writing with Gill or Lambert or Guy Clark. She recently teamed up with rock 'n' singer-guitarist Brendan Benson to write a song for the TV show "Nashville." And Jack White has pulled her in to work on projects with Ricky Skaggs and Wanda Jackson.Monroe's got the duet "Bruises" with Pat Monahan of Train and is scheduled to tour with that band this summer — after she releases an album with Pistol Annies this spring. That group is the result of her networking abilities and her late-night inspiration to introduce Lambert to Angaleena Presley by phone, a moment of instant connection among three powerful songwriters and personalities."It's crazy," Monroe said. "The other day I wrote down everything and I was like, 'Wow, I've done a lot of things!' It's amazing. It blows my mind. But it also makes me happy because it's bringing all these things together."Bits and pieces of those experiences can be heard on "Like a Rose," which veers from the deep sadness of the title track and "Two Weeks Late" and "Used" to the bawdiness delivered with a wink in "Weed Instead of Roses" and "You Ain't Dolly (and You Ain't Porter)," a back-and-forth duet with Lambert's husband, Blake Shelton, that closes the album.Gill met Monroe not long after she came to town. She co-wrote a couple of songs on his Grammy-winning album "Guitar Slinger," and he co-wrote a few songs on "Like a Rose."Why did he decide to work with her?"Well, she writes songs like Guy Clark and sings like Dolly Parton, two pretty great reasons right there," Gill said with his mellow chuckle. "One would be enough, but to have both, I thought, 'Yeah this might be a great way to spend time.' You love being around the most gifted people if you get the opportunity, and I honestly believe she's of that brand, of that ilk, whatever is a good word, you know? Everything about her is undeniable."___Online:http://ashleymonroe.com___Follow AP Music Writer Chris Talbott: http://twitter.com/Chris_Talbott.Arts & EntertainmentMusicAshley Monroe

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Syrian dissident walks free
Last Updated: Wednesday, 2 June, 2004, 10:40 GMT 11:40 UK
By Magdi Abdel Hadi BBC correspondent in Aleppo, Syria
Syria's emergency legislation has been in place more than 40 years
One of Syria's most prominent civil rights activists has walked free after appearing in court charged with defaming the state authorities.
Abdul Razzaq Eid, an academic and well known critic of the ruling Baath Party, had written in one of his articles that a "corrupt clique" in Syria had stolen 95% of the country's national wealth. Mr Eid was being tried at a military tribunal in accordance with an emergency law in Syria which has been in force for more than 40 years. Under the watchful eye of plain clothes security police a small crowd of young and veteran civil rights activists gathered outside the military tribunal building in Aleppo.
The aim is to silence all the people, to silence all intellectuals
Eid supporter
One of Mr Eid's supporters explained why he thought this was such an exceptionally important trial.
"An intellectual, a very important intellectual is being put on trial for the first time," the supporter told the BBC. "The aim is to silence all the people, to silence all intellectuals. It's like raising a stick against or in the face of all of society, an attempt to intimidate us all. "People here they don't want a regime change, they're just asking for democracy, they are asking for their rights." Political trial
After Mr Eid's case was dismissed, he emerged from the court building, followed by a number of lawyers who had volunteered to defend him. They were all smiling and the mood changed from gloom to happiness. His friends hugged and kissed Mr Eid on the cheek. I asked him what happened inside the court.
They wanted to send me a message that they're keeping an eye on what I write so I'd better watch it
Abdul Razzaq Eid
"The lawyers questioned the competence of the court to consider a case like this one which is the political trial of an intellectual," Mr Eid said.
"But the judge overruled them, basing his ruling on the emergency law. "He asked me what I meant by a 'corrupt clique'. So I told him I meant the financial clique. I'd said 5% of the people controlled 95% of the national wealth. There was the suspicion that I was referring to government officials which of course I wasn't.
"I told him the word clique in Arabic means a rascal and asked him whether it was offensive to him to describe the corrupt as rascals. He said, no it was not, and declared me innocent of the charge.
So is that the end of court process?
"Well I think they wanted to send me a message that they're keeping an eye on what I write so I'd better watch it," Mr Eid said.

Insurance Group Says Toyota Crams for a Test, but the RAV4 Still Fails - The New York Times

Insurance Group Says Toyota Crams for a Test, but the RAV4 Still Fails
July 11, 2013 10:01 am July 11, 2013 10:01 am
The insurance organization says the dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test of the Toyota RAV4 indicates that the driver's survival space was not maintained well.Credit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
So, according to the insurance group, Toyota made its changes, but in June when the new test was finally conducted, the RAV4 still failed. It got the lowest rating, Poor, in the overlap test.
Toyota had made changes to models built after April to better control the stability of the steering column and to provide extra padding under the footwell carpeting, according to a statement from the insurance group, which is funded by the insurance industry. RAV4s before that date do not have these improvements.
Still, those changes did not do enough to address a combination of poor structure and inadequate control of the test dummy’s movement, resulting in the Poor rating in the overlap test, the group’s newest, most severe frontal crash test.
In the RAV4, the dummy’s left foot “was trapped by crushed and buckled sheet metal in the footwell,” which indicated there was a high risk of injuries to the left lower leg in a crash this severe.
The dummy’s head hit the instrument panel. According to the test details, “the dummy’s head barely contacted the frontal air bag before sliding off the left side as the steering column moved” more than 7 inches to the right, resulting in little air bag cushioning for the chest.
Additionally, the safety belt allowed “excessive” forward movement of the dummy’s head and torso, which contributed to the dummy hitting the instrument panel.
“There is just no good reason that the head should be allowed to get so far forward,” said David Zuby, the group’s chief research officer.
Nonetheless, the group said the RAV4’s overall performance was good.
“The overall safety of the RAV4 is quite high,” as indicated by a Good rating in the institute’s other crash tests and its designation as a Top Safety Pick, Mr. Zuby said. “But we are trying to push crashworthiness even further than what’s represented by today’s Top Safety Pick. And with regard to the small overlap crash test, the RAV4 falls short.”
Toyota refused to confirm that it asked the insurance group to hold off on the small overlap crash test while it made improvements to the RAV4 or to answer questions about what changes it made and why they were unsuccessful.
In an e-mail statement, the company said, “The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (I.I.H.S.) periodically develops new, more severe or specialized tests that go beyond federal requirements. With the small overlap test, the institute has raised the bar again, and we are responding to the challenge. We are looking at a range of solutions to achieve greater crash performance in this area. Although the Toyota RAV4 did not achieve the I.I.H.S. “Top Safety Pick +” (Plus) rating, it remains an I.I.H.S. Top Safety Pick.”
A vehicle can be a Top Safety Pick if it gets a Good rating in the group’s four other crash tests, regardless of how it performs in the small overlap test. To receive the highest distinction of a Top Safety Pick+, the vehicle must receive Good ratings in at least four of the group’s tests and no less than an Acceptable in the fifth.
“The message to consumers is, if you want the very safest vehicles look for a Top Safety Pick+,” Mr. Zuby said. “But you don’t have to really worry if you are driving around in a Top Safety Pick because those vehicles have a very high level of safety. The message to Toyota is, if you want to remain on the I.I.H.S. list of safest cars, you have work to do on the small overlap crash test.”
Mr. Zuby said that despite advances in crash safety, people are still dying and being seriously injured in frontal crashes. And small overlap crashes account for about 25 percent of those fatalities and injuries.
The RAV4 was not the only small crossover to have difficulty with the new test. In May, when the insurance group released the small overlap test results for the other small crossovers, only the Subaru Forester received a rating of Good. The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport earned an Acceptable rating. Six others were rated Marginal, and five were rated Poor.
The small overlap test was designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or a utility pole. In the test, 25 percent of a vehicle’s front on the driver’s side strikes a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Because the edge of the vehicle hits the barrier, it misses the main crush-zone structures in the middle of the vehicle that reduce crash forces on the occupant compartment.
In these impacts, the left front wheel and tire can be forced back into the footwell, resulting in serious, debilitating leg and foot injuries, the group says. Vehicles also tend to rotate and slide sideways. This movement can fling the dummy to the left toward the windshield and front-door pillar. And it can push the steering wheel, which contains the air bag, so far to the right that the air bag offers little protection to the dummy.
Some Toyota and Lexus models had similar problems with structure and restraints in earlier rounds of small overlap tests. The Lexus ES 350 and IS 350/250, and the Toyota Camry and Prius V wagon all received overall ratings of Poor in that test.
A version of this article appears in print on 07/14/2013, on page AU3 of the NewYork edition with the headline: Toyota RAV4 Fails A Frontal Crash Test.

Our Journey : Back To Our Roots: At the feed store
Yesterday was a great day! I got to meet up with my best friend from highschool and her husband. Actually her husband and I planned a surprise lunch for her, she had no clue! So we all got done eating and decided to go to Tractor Supply that was close so I could pick up the meat chickens, for our farm. This is our first year raising and butchering our own chickens so we are excited about this experience. So we get to the store and looked around. I looked at all the cute chicks (and yes thoughts of sneaking some other chickens and a few of the ducklings there, did pop in my head. But then Tom popped in my head and those thoughts went away haha). So I asked the Saleman if he could give me 13 of the Cornish rock chicks. He boxed them up and took me to the register, and told me to have a nice day. I thank him and told him to have a nice day as well. So while waiting in line there was a lady in front of me. My friends and I were looking at the different magaizines while we waited for my turn. The lady in front looked over and said oh what kind did you get. I said, " oh the meat chickens". she stared at me with a confused look. She said what do you do with those? I said, " you butcher them." Once again gave me a confused look. Then her look turned to disgust. I could tell she was not happy so I went on looking at other things while she finished checking out. I could hear her under her breathe saying, " that is just cruel!", " If you have to do those kinds of things it is time to find a job". Yes I kept my composer( let me tell you I wanted to tell her a lot), because I really felt what good would it do? The mind set that woman had I really didn't feel if I said anything it would have made her change her mind. So the lady left with her bags and still mumbling things under her breathe and the last thing she said I didn't hear.
The cashier looked at me in disbelief that the lady had said all those things. She couldn't understand why the lady was that rude either. She said," where does she think her chicken from the store comes from?", Apparently the last thing she said to the cashier was, she wasn't going to shop their anymore because they sell baby chicks ( like meat ones) and that is just horrible. I guess the reaction of the lady today made me really think, about wow am I really a cruel person for doing this? Am I a horrible person for wanting to raise our own food?
The answer is "NO!". We are a family that enjoys the farm life and likes to know what our animals eat, do , etc. We are thankful and we are sure to thank God for them . Are we weird to do this, to grow our own food, to raise our own meats? Well depends on who you are? haha Personally I don't think we are, we are just wanting to go back to the days when this was normal. Everyone would have chickens in their backyard, families would have their own gardens and survive on that till the next summer harvest. Back when making your own laundry soap, seasonings, hanging laundry, and not using electronics that often was normal. That is the life we thrive for and we hope that someday, even if we have one person start planting a tomato plant, green beans or lettuce in their backyard. Or someone who gets the passion to try canning or freezing their own garden veggies. Or even to go and support a local farmer who grows and sells their vegetables, eggs or meats. Every little bit counts, then I can have a 100 of those ladies talk about me that way. So for now we will enjoy the cute little fluff balls that have taken residence in our home, until it gets warm enough for them to go out in the chicken tractor and then in April we will pray and thank the Lord for letting us raise these chickens and for the blessing they will be to us and others Just another day on the homestead......

AZ in August: January 2010
Emergencies Happen.... even at Weddings.
This past July my fiancé and I flew from Arizona to upstate New York for the nuptials of my friend....source About 1 hour into the flight the fiancé started having what was described as "an upset stomach." No problem, we thought, we're lactose intolerant- stomach aches happen. It continued to progress, and the symptom became more severe. By the time we landed it was apparent I would need to drive. So he took pain killers and I drove us to the Bed and Breakfast we were staying at...when we got there it was nearly 10pm. That is when the pain started to localize to his right side, he became feverish and broke out into a cold sweat. Uh-oh! Appendicitis! Yup for a male in otherwise good health that is the absolutely ONLY diagnosis for his type of symptoms. We broke out the handy dandy GPS, which I never leave the state without (because... emergencies happen), and followed the hospital signs....
source So it's nearly 11pm the night before my friend's wedding... and where were we?Personal Photo
The Cayuga Medical Center... which for your knowledge has wonderful physicians, nurses, and overlooks one of the fingerlakes. And my fiancé was seen and scheduled for surgery at 8am. Personal Photo
His appendix was removed and we missed the wedding. But we did get snapshots, doesn't my friend R look beautiful?Personal Photo
Anyway it was this very experience (and the fact that 100% of our guests are from out of town) that led us to put the following information into our OOT folders...Medical Facilities Although we hope you will not need to use this information, we thought it best to include in case of emergency. We learned the hard way that knowing where the closest medical facility is, even when at an out-of-town wedding, is very important. Dirk had his appendix out at just such an occasion this year.Verde Valley Medical Center- Sedona Campus(928)204-3000 or 911 in case of emergency
3700 W. State Route 89A, Sedona, AZ Sedona Urgent Care (928) 203-48132530 W Highway 89A # A, Sedona, AZ Are you a worrier? Will you be including any medical information in any form for your guests? Do you have an "emergency plan" for your wedding? Posted by
source One of the advantages of going IN store to register are the helpful tips from the person in charge of that store's registries. I will share with you, what we learned on that fateful day....
source Choose "Giftable" items- This means no one will be likely to buy you a trashcan, a plunger, or a toilet brush. Because these aren't "gifts" these are practical items people don't talk about. Choose Fillers- Some people go into your registry wanting to spend $200, not a penny less. So they find a comforter you like, but say its $10 or $20 shy of their internal target... make sure you have knick knacks like candles and picture frames there to help them to get to their goal. If you do not pick your own frames or candles THEY WILL... let that be enough to scare you.
No one will buy your a trashcan, but someone will buy you a Vaccum- Why, the store associate didn't know, but he speculates that it is largely due to the exasperation some people have with their vaccums. But they are one of the first "big ticket items" taken immediately. Register for the Expensive Towels- Because people will understand that this is a wishlist, if they don't like it they don't have to buy it.
People WILL complain about things on your Registry- Because your taste is different than theirs, end of story. They will think your frames are atrocious and will probably have something to say about a lot of things on your list. Who cares, it's not their registry! I hope this helps you with registering! What are some things you learned from your store associate about the fine art of the wedding registry?
Ok, so half of me really wanted to just be uber cool and techie and do our entire registry online. Because we're savvy people, and most of our family follows suit. I love the Universal Registry and Wishpot. But I also know the older people in our family might be baffled by the new fangled technology. We hmmmed and hawed over this decision but ended up confronting ourselves more than our less than techie family.
We were feelers... we love to touch towels, to really run our hands against linens, and see colors live and in person. And until the interwebs gets some more senses we decided to register live and in person. So now the question was.... well we have a FULL SET of China, Crystal, and Silverware ... what else do we get?
It is now I should also note that we have 3 full sets of everyday plates/bowls/etc and a full set of regular old silverware (of the non-real silver variety). Yeesh! Now we're stuck between a rock and a hard place right? So we did what any logical couple would do... we consulted the Weddingbee Boards. Don't bee-lieve me?
Yup I went there. And we got some great suggestions. So I printed the list, and we headed out to Williams - Sonomoa and Bed Bath and Beyond (BBB for short). Here are the highlights of our touchy-feely experience.
source The most beautiful, delightful feeling towels.... we have ever touched. Ok, so they're $40 a pop, but they're WONDERFUL and plush. We also registered for towels at a less obscene price point of $20. (Towels for our guest bath- mwhahaaha)
We registered for 2 amazing, zen-feeling, lamps for our bedroom.
source, source A plush bathroom mat and a gel mat for the kitchen, because Mr. AZ does a lot of cooking and his feet could use one of these beauties. Okay, so we were doing okay, we had registered for a down comforter but that was the biggest ticket item so far... that is until we wandered into Williams-Sonoma...
source We registered for amazing pots- seriously these babies would last us a life time! But they had a sticker price to match. And then we did... we registered for the item on everyone's registry... source Oh yes, the Kitchenaid mixer! After we left the stores we felt like we had spent an awful lot of money, but in reality we hadn't... but we were feeling guilty that our families might... but then we reviewed our lists and realized how much we LOVED everything on it. How did you handle the registry? Did you do it online or in store? What are your most loved items? Posted by
As sung to the tune of the Beatles.... anyway! Let's take a look take a look through time at my ever changing hair... and then discuss what the HECK I'm going to do with this mane for the wedding...
Let's analyze shall we... 85- Nothing I could really do about it at that point, but look at that amazing flip I've got going on...
86- When was my hair curly?!
90- Long with weird bangs and a bad smile.
This is what I like to call my experimental years... 02- Yes I did think I was Josie ala Josie and the Pussycats. I remember going home at lunch to RE-CURL my hair.... oh yes I did.
05- A very cute bob with some rockin' side bangs that really don't do what they're supposed to, ever.
06- Just for a change of pace can I see my jet black hair BLONDE?! What the heck was I thinking...
Personal Photos Ah, graduate school how you really made up for the last 10 or so years...
06- Wow I'm trying some weird layered thing that makes my chubby face look chubbier... not a good look.
07- I cleaned up good for the white coat ceremony... but you can totally see the reminents of previous highlights.
08- Ok that is my hair with ridiculous levels of hairspray and teasing, does it look big? Sadly, no.
09-10- A beautiful do that's simple and really elongates my chubby face. I hope everyone agrees with this.
Ok so now the conundrum comes in... how fast does hair grow- because I want to wear my hair down and long ala Mrs. Champagne
Well the lady at the salon told me about 1/2 an inch a month.... which means with 7 months to go I'm only gaining 3 and a half inches.... cross your fingers ladies that I too have a mane of Mrs. Champagne's portions. Are you doing the big wedding-grow-out? How are you rocking your 'do when you say "I Do"? Posted by
It's not like we sat down and picked an awesome theme. It kind of just appeared on it's own. Since all our guests are from out of town we just wanted to show them why we love life in the desert. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself...
When we picked our colors we decided we didn't want to detract from the Natural Beauty of Sedona's Red Rocks...
When we designed our OOT bags and folders we wanted to use something elegant, not too girly, and representative of where we are getting married... source
Personal Photo We also love the natural beauty of Arizona and found these puppies lying around. So we figured why not use them as Table Numbers and explain some little interesting/lesser known facts about Arizona to our guests...
Personal Photo from Arizona Highways 1978
So I guess our theme has evolved into a Natural Arizona Beauty/Vintage Theme. It all ties in, and it was all done/picked by accident!
What's your "wedding theme"? Did it develop over time or did you make a conscious effort? Posted by
Time to step up the game, suuuure pretty pictures with numbers are COOL. But are they cool enough?! The answer, a resounding no from me and the fiance. So this is our off-the-chain Table Numbers version 2.0. Have I mentioned that between my fiancé and I we have over 16 years of higher-education between us? Making ourselves "the eternal students" in our circle... so I ask you, why only SHOW you pictures of beautiful Arizona wildlife? Personal Photo from Arizona Highways 1978Why not tell you about the Saguaro as well?
So here goes... we're getting clear frames that have stands and in them we will be placing the beautiful pictures, but on the reverse we will have the "facts" listed.
Source So the one for the Saguaro will go something like this:Fun Facts about Saguaro (Cacti)…
The name of saguaro comes from a Native American word, sah-wa-ro. It takes this slow-growing cactus about 14 years to grow three feet tall and between 60 and 75 years to prout its first arm. Saguaros with five arms are more than 150 years old! The saguaro produces its first flower when it is about 50 years old. The white blossoms open only at night, last less than 24 hours and are pollinated by moths and bats.
Adapted from: www.desertusa.comLet's not forget my friend Piggy... well he's actually a Javelina...
Personal Photo from Arizona Highways 1978What’s a Javelina?Pronounced have-a-lee-na.Though some people think Javelina are a type of wild pig, they are actually members of the peccary family, a group of hoofed mammals originating from South America. Javelina are common in much of central and southern Arizona, including the outskirts of the Phoenix area, most of Tucson, and occasionally as far north as Flagstaff. Javelina form herds of two to more than 20 animals and rely on each other to defend territory, protect against predators, regulate temperature and interact socially. They use washes and areas with dense vegetation as travel corridors. Javelina are most active at night, but may be active during the day when it's cold.
Adapted from: www.azgfd.govAhh see what graduate school will do to you? Every moment is a "teachable moment"! We also thought this may provider fodder for those awkward moments our guests might have with new friends. So are you stirring up some intellectual trouble at your reception? How would you like reading these?
This is what we are aiming for in postcard form: source
Personal PhotoBut see, I finally nailed it, with a lot of help from FSIL.
Oh my gosh! It was at this point I started getting the tingles... and it was also at this point MOH announced she had no fonts on her new computer... NOOOOOOOO! So I twiddled my thumbs while I waited... and waited... and waited [please note I am a Drama Queen and this was about 30minutes, not days]. Names have been concealed to protect the innocent.

An open letter to the Attorney General . Sophie's Law
Petitioning Attorney General An open letter to the Attorney General . Sophie's Law
Attorny General please bring in Sophie's Law to protect all unborn babies post 30 weeks gestation.
Sarah Milosevic Australia
I was 39 weeks pregnant when a drunk driver on drugs crashed into my car - as a result of this accident my baby died. I gave birth to her still body. But despite this reckless drunk causing the accident in which my baby died, he only received a pathetic $950 fine and a 5 month driving suspension. The decision was made last month. It’s been hell. Instead of bringing my baby girl home I had to plan her funeral - I was that close to the end of my pregnancy. And now the man responsible gets away with it because she was stillborn and has no rights in a court of law. I want that law changed. I want all babies past 30 weeks gestation to have the right to be classed as a human being. I want pregnant women protected against acts of violence and against their babies dying because of an avoidable cause. Sophie should be alive but because of a careless act caused by a driver that does not care, he holds no responsibility for his action and walks free. All babies born past 20 weeks gestation need to have a birth certificate, a death certificate and also a funeral. So why is it that only in a court of law, does a baby have no rights to be counted? This petition is to give a voice to a little baby who will never take her first steps. Please, please support me by signing and sharing it to introduce Sophie’s Law. Thank you, Sarah. NB: Please note I do not want to affect a woman's right to abortion or have a pregnancy terminated for any medical reasons.
Attorney General An open letter to the Attorney General . Sophie's Law
Sophie's Law to allow babies past 30 weeks gestation the right to be counted as a person.

New Car: 2011 Land Rover LR2 | Automotive News & Concepts
Browse » Home » » New Car: 2011 Land Rover LR2
Now that the rest of the Land Rover lineup has received visual and mechanical updates for 2010, the LR2 sees a few visual enhancements for 2011 that will at least bring its styling more in line with the rest of the family. A fresh front bumper with revised fog-light surrounds and the new two-bar grille strengthen the stylistic connection between the LR2 and the larger LR4. Other exterior modifications include new taillights, new wheels, and additional body-colored parts like the mirror caps, door handles, and rear bumper.
It’s also worth our noting—because it would otherwise probably go unnoticed—that the LR2 is debuting the new Land Rover logo. Wishing to be a bit more contemporary, the company has done away with the classic gold-over-green logo, favoring bright silver over green for its new badge. Not a hugely dramatic change, but a small evolution nonetheless.
Inside, the changes are limited to new trim and seat appointments, and a revised instrument cluster.
While the LR2 is actually quite capable off-road, our biggest complaint has always been with the thirsty yet still underpowered 230-hp, 3.2-liter inline-6. Sadly, Land Rover has left the engine unchanged during the freshening, but hopefully the new Evoque will bring a better powerplant to share with the LR2. The 2011 LR2 goes on sale this fall.
