Repsol Honda Team launch in Zaragoza, Spain
The kick-off of the World Motorcycling Championship is just two weeks away, in the city of Doha, where the Qatar GP will be held. Right before the start of what promises to be an exciting season, today Thursday the presentation of the Repsol riders and teams who will defend their colors in the 2008 Championship took place, in an event whose central figure was the Aragonese capital and the International Exhibition 2008.

Dani Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden as members of the Repsol Honda Team; Julián Sim¢n, of the Repsol KTM 250cc team, and Esteve Rabat and Marc Márquez as members of the Repsol KTM 125cc team, have been named Ambassadors of the Expo 2008.

The presentation started at midday with an official reception by the Mayor of Zaragoza, Mr. Juan Alberto Belloch, of the Repsol riders in the Town Hall of the city. Next, the protagonists of the day were able to visit and see for themselves how construction is going on at the exhibition, which is planned to open to the public next June 14th . Before that, they had the chance to admire the photographic exhibition “Repsol Champions” in the city's Chamber of Commerce, with historical images of World Champion Repsol riders like Angel Nieto, Alex Crivillé and Jorge Martínez Aspar, among others.

In the afternoon the more emotive acts of the presentation took place. First, the Repsol riders were named ambassadors of the Expo Zaragoza 2008, and after a press conference at the International Press Centre, the big moment of the day arrived, with a public presentation of the Repsol Teams in the Chamber of Commerce. There, in a packed auditorium, the fans from the Aragonese capital were able to watch the public presentation of the Repsol riders from the inside of the hall. For the rest of the fans, there were screens outside which gave them the chance to follow the event without missing detail. The big moment came with the presentation of the spectacular Repsol Honda RC212V 2008 with state-of-the-art lights and visual effects. The Melocos musical act and the questions asked by fans to Dani Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden were a couple of the other remarkable moments of the final event.

Tomorrow Friday, Dani Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden will travel to the Jerez Circuit, where the MotoGP 2008 training sessions will be held next Saturday, the previous step before the start of the 2008 World Motorcycling Championship. Next week it will be Sim¢n, Rabat and Márquez's turn on the Andalusian track

DANI PEDROSA: “This was my first time in Zaragoza and it's always interesting to visit places like this. As soon as we reach Jerez, we'll see how the recovery on my hand is doing, and then there will be very important tests for me. I'll be able to check my physical form and see if I can push hard or not. Depending on the result, then maybe we'll dedicate more time to all the work we couldn't do this last winter. Both Nicky and I are definitely going to try to do the most for our team, and as you can see, we've both been in the top places in many races, and that's a point in our favor. I feel lucky, because if I look back, when I started, I already felt the luckiest guy in the world. That said, having I've reached where I am now, I still feel happier deep down inside than when I was younger. However, the excitement is still the same, and seeing yourself taking steps forward is very important in one's life.”

NICKY HAYDEN: “I'd never been to Zaragoza, this is my first time and I'm enjoying it. The life of a rider is difficult because we have to travel a lot and we also suffer injuries, but to say that my job is tough might be slightly exaggerated, because I think we live quite well. Of course, sometimes it's not easy; being a motorcycle factory rider takes up a lot of time, a lot of traveling and time spent away from home, falls and what not, but I've always thought it was the best job in the world. Being part of the Repsol Honda Team, which is probably the best team in the world, is something I wouldn't swap for anything.”

JAUME GIRO':  “I thank Zaragoza for the warm reception the Repsol team has received. We can say with pride that we are the only sponsor to win titles in all categories, adding up to a total of 29.  This year we want to increase that number. The MotoGP team must win the title as it did in 2006, and to achieve that we have two exceptional riders who are Nicky Hayden, who already knows what it is like to win, and Dani Pedrosa, who while wearing number 2 can only aspire to No. 1. In the two smaller categories we hope to see our riders regularly on the podium. This is the challenge for Repsol this year in the World Motorcycling Championship.”

1994 Pontiac Sunbird
1994 Pontiac Sunbird

By Jeremy Cato

The Pontiac Sunbird and its Chevrolet twin the Cavalier were first
introduced in 1982 and together they’ve been top sellers in Canada and the
U.S. for the better part of two decades.

Why? Reasonable pricing and easy availability have been two key reasons,
for in other areas neither of these models from 1990-94 were as technically
sophisticated and roomy as many rival import subcompacts of the same era.

That’s not to say the Sunbird’s comfort level isn’t adequate. It is. But
it’s certainly not above average in any way. The same holds true for
handling which is capable but not inspiring. Might as well throw in the
early four-cylinder engines, which were able to deliver only so-so power and
fuel economy. That is, especially if mated to the three-speed automatic transmission, which robs the car of some get-up-and-go and makes the engine slurp down a bit more gas. What’s more, some of the Sunbird’s competitors offered four-speed automatics which were smoother and easier on the fuel bill.

The best engine choice would be one of the later four-cylinders produced
closer to 1995, when an updated version of the Sunbird/Cavalier arrived.
Early four-bangers were rated at just 96 horsepower, while later ones ranged
to 110. Pontiac also offered a turbocharged four-cylinder (165 hp.) for a
time, and a 3.1-litre V6 (140 hp.).

Body styles? The Sunbird was commonly available as a coupe, sedan and two-door convertible. By 1991, the turbocharged engine had been retired. By 1992, anti-lock brakes had become standard and a new fuel injection system added more power to the base engine – 100 hp. That same year the convertible top gained a new glass rear window.

There were other tweaks made to the Sunbird lineup from ’90-94, but none
completely resolved all the quality and reliability issues which were not
uncommon with this model. If you’re searching for a used car, you’ll find
Sunbirds available for a fair price. Just be certain to get a thorough
mechanical inspection before signing on the dotted line.

Used vehicle prices vary depending on factors such as general condition, odometer reading, usage history and options fitted. Always have a used vehicle checked by an experienced auto technician before you buy.

It's almost impossible to make a fair-minded, non-exploitative documentary about the abortion debate, but Stephen Fell and Will Thompson take a credible shot with Unborn In The USA: Inside The War On Abortion, despite a clear undertone of alarm about the pervasiveness of the pro-life movement. For the most part, Fell and Thompson spend Unborn In The USA exploring the differences among pro-lifers, who run the gamut from those who believe that shooting abortion doctors is a righteous act to those who think that even non-violent public protests may be too radical. The documentary lets all of its subjects speak their piece, and even gives the pro-choice side a voice—though most pro-choicers are likely to be annoyed that their side is represented exclusively by inarticulate college students shouting profanities at pro-life demonstrators.

That lack of balance is by design, and while it's frustrating, it's forgivable. What's more of a problem is how much of Unborn In The USA is anecdotal. While Fell and Thompson toss out a number of factoids about this or that protest march or this or that "religious-right group" being the "largest," actual numbers are scarce. If we go by what the film's interview subjects say, abortion is both on the rise and on the decline, and both more accepted by society and less accepted. Unborn In The USA's approach is defined by the women of "Silent No More," who use the fact that they personally regret their abortions as proof that abortion is more harmful to women than the medical culture will admit. Even though it's clear from the ominous music and careful factoid placement that Fell and Thompson aren't on the pro-life side, they're still buying into the terms of an argument that—on both sides—has become increasingly based on individual unease.

Unborn In The USA is far more successful at detailing "the state of the cause." A clever cross-cut between a bloody "Justice For All" campus exhibit and scenes from Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ makes the point that evangelicals are getting more comfortable with gore as a rhetorical device, even as some of the group's members wonder whether their generation has become too desensitized. The modern pro-life movement seems primarily interested in changing minds along with changing law, and the question their disciples are asking is whether guerrilla theater or threats of violence prompt anything other than more fruitless shouting matches.

Fokker D.VII Home Page Aircraft Engines Airmen Videos
Articles Theory Page Early Years Photo Gallery Aviation Links

    In January 1918 a competition open to single-seater fighters powered by the 160 hp Mercedes engine was held at Johannisthal, near Berlin. It was won outright by an angular little biplane with thick cantilever wings, the Fokker D.VII, designed by Reinhold Platz. Unquestionably the best all-round German fighter of the First World War, it was a development of Platz's experimental V.II, built late in 1917.

    Its engine was either the 160/180 hp Mercedes or the 185 hp BMW, neatly cowled and fitted with a frontal radiator. BMW D.VIIs had the better performance and were much sought after. The 200 hp Benz was experimentally fitted without great success. The exhaust system was either the usual external horizontal pipe on the starboard side, or separate internal pipes connected to a large main pipe which protruded through the starboard cowling.

    D.VII wings had two spars with plywood ribs; the leading-edges were of ply, the rest of the structure fabric covered. Unequal chord ailerons framed in steel tubing, were fitted to the upper wing only, which had a slight curved cutout in its trailing-edge. The lower wing was housed in a recess in the fuselage bottom; both planes had wire trailing-edges, giving *em a 'scalloped' appearance. Interplane and center section struts were of streamlined steel tubing.

    The fuselage was constructed of wire-braced welded steel tubing with a three-ply top decking behind the cockpit; the whole being fabric-covered, except for the engine cowlings. Fin, balanced rudder, tailplane and balanced elevators were also of fabric-covered steel tube. Two struts braced the tailplane from below. The undercarriage was of streamlined steel tube and its axle was enclosed in a large fairing which gave some extra lift.

Twin Spandau guns were synchronized to fire through the revolving propeller.

    Following its success at Johannisthal, the type was ordered in large quantities; not only was it built by the Fokker concern (Fok. D.VII F), but also by its rivals, the Albatros Werke (Fok. D.VII (Alb.)) and the Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke (Fok. D.VII (OAW)). Mercedes and BMW engines appear to have been distributed impartially to all three companies.

    While not especially fast, the D.VII's strong point was its great maneuverability at high altitudes. It was extremely easy to fly and had no terrors for the beginner. Jagdgeschwader Nr. 1, the Richthofen 'Circus', received the first D.VIIs in time for the Second Battle of the Aisne in May 1918, and soon found that the new type gave them a good margin of advantage over their opponents. By the autumn the majority of the Jastas had been reequipped with D.VIIs. So highly did the Allies esteem the machine that their Armistice terms specifically ordered the surrender of all Fokker D.VIIs.

    As a safeguard against a possible shortage of steel tubing and competent welders, the Albatros company built a D.VII with a plywood fuselage, but it was not found necessary to produce this variant. When the war ended, production of the type for Austro-Hungary had begun at the Hungarian Engineering Factory, Budapest (MAG). Total production was approximately 3,300 aircraft.

I don’t know exactly why, but it seems lately the films I enjoy most get the worst critic ratings and sometimes worst fan ratings as well.  This is a case of both.  “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” was actually a lot of good fun.  Even without kids I enjoyed the sequel more than the first I dare say.

The sequel has faults, sure, most ever sequel does.  However, the adventure seems more unified this time around.  There is a change of cast members, basically just Josh Hutcherson is the only remaining original cast member.  Dwayne Johnson joins the party as does Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens and Michael Caine.

What does the sequel lack?  Well, particularly, it is the lack of explanations.  The disappearance of Josh’s uncle as well as their Icelandic tour guide from the first film.  Not even a mention.  Also, the film’s pacing is off.  At times it isn’t elaborate enough and at other times it moves way too slowly.  However, that doesn’t stop a fun ride through a tropical, sinking island.

Sean somehow intercepts a code that takes him and his step-father (Johnson) on a bonding journey.  So the film moves right through the breaking of the code by an ex Navy Seal and right into that no one else could have sent this code but Sean’s grandfather.  Alas, a journey is taken.  Along the way the duo make allies with a helicopter tour pilot and his daughter.  The four become stranded on the mysterious island.

ON the island the team run into mythical creatures and traps of all sorts.  They are on a race against time.  I won’t spoil the unfolding pattern of the film as that is kind of the fun part.  But, if there is anything that can make this film better, it is the 3D presentation.

“Journey 2” comes to Blu-ray in a variety of combo packs.  The first sent to me was the normal Blu-ray plus DVD copy of the film package.  I sat and watched the film and enjoyed the video presentation without a doubt.  The lushness of the colors and natural depth is awe-inspiring.  The very next day I received the 3D combo pack, adding a 3D Blu-ray disc to the pack.  Having enjoyed the film the first time around I thought, what the heck, let’s watch it again right away in 3D.  Boy was I thankful I did.

The 3D version of this film, which was originally shot in 3D is even more awe-inspiring than the 2D counterpart.  The 3D nature of the film makes watching the film far, far more enjoyable than the 2D version, which still looks amazing.  The 3D version has all the depth and 3D-pop that you can enjoy.  Compared to the recently release “John Carter 3D,” “Journey 2 3D” blows it out of the blow.  The 3D extension is terrific.  Unlike the aforementioned title, this title actually has 3D extension from the screen, allowing for wildlife to fly into the room as well as underwater vehicles.  Meanwhile, the colors remain lush and vibrant.  The black levels are near perfect.  Picture cohesion is only as good as your screen 3D settings.  But I can tell you on a 9-foot screen this film looks pretty darn amazing.  NOTE: Despite package description this film, both 3D and 2D is presented in 1.78:1 not 1.85:1.

The audio quality is nearly as amazing as the video quality.  The lossless audio track is night and day different from the Dolby lossy version.  I accidently changed the audio setting and the system started playing the lossy audio track.  I was immediately discouraged until I realized what happened.  Anybody struggling to hear the difference by lossless and lossy should check this feature out.  It is incredibly different and bad.  The lossless audio track has nice dialogue prioritization.  The LFE channel gets a nice work out during the island sequences.  The dynamics are fairly good.  The surround envelopment is better than I expected.  I would have loved a native 7.1 audio mix of this film but as it stands the THX Ultra2 setting of most receivers does a great job once again of taking 5.1 into 7.1.

There isn’t much in the way of special features.  The 3D disc doesn’t contain any.  The 2D Blu-ray disc contains three.  There is a gag reel, some deleted scenes and an interactive map.  The latter is an exploration of the island.

“Journey 2” is better than the first in my opinion.  I like both films because of the native 3D.  Without a doubt the 3D version of this film is a must.  The best I have seen in a while.  I recommend the 3D Blu-ray combo pack of this title.

NASA Laser Killed Pakistan Army Soldiers At Gyari Sector – SMS

I received a SMS regarding Gayri sector incident that this was caused by NASA lasers impulse. I tried to found the authenticity of the SMS on various platforms including internet but I was unable to find any authenticity and it looks that this SMS is fake.

The SMS which I received is as follows:

I really feel sorry on scientific backwardness of our Nation. The instant incident of live burial of 138 troops of Pak Army at Gyari sector of Siachen glacier is neither due to an avalanche nor a Cloud burst but a Satellite targeted Laser impulse by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) which resulted into this Objective Oriented Killing Of Pakistan troops after Salala check post.?Plz forward for National Awakening Campaign. Shame to US and spit on the faces of our leaders.

Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar Presented By Mercury Insurance – Mickey Hart Bio

Mickey Hart At The Los Angeles Convention Center

LOS ANGELES, CA – FEBRUARY 06: Musician Mickey Hart arrives at the 2015 MusiCares Person of The Year honoring Bob Dylan at Los Angeles Convention Center on February 6, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)

Get To Know More About Sammy’s Guests

Drummer. Air Force drum and bugle corps. Author. GRAMMY®-winner. Research pioneer. These are just a few accomplishment in the prolific career of “Rhythm Devil,” Mickey Hart. Sammy and Mickey go way back, so we thought we’d go back even further and see just how Mickey became the musical guru he is today!

Born on September 11, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, Mickey was raised by his mother; his father had already left the family by the time Mickey was born. Both his parents were drummers, and his mother arranged for Mickey to follow in their footsteps. As a teenager, Mickey dropped out of Lawrence High School to join the U.S. Air Force’s drum and bugle corps. While stationed in California, he finally met his estranged father, but soon lost touch. He was later stationed in Spain where he studied judo, learning breathing and focused mental techniques that he later applied to his drumming. Upon being discharged from the Air Force in 1965, he returned to New York to find work as a session drummer. He soon received a letter from his father inviting him to work in the drum store he had recently opened. Mickey packed his bags and once again traveled west to California, where a fateful evening would set him on course to join one of the most groundbreaking bands of the era. While working at his father’s store, Mickey met Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann, who invited Mickey to sit in with the band. Afterward, Mickey joined the Dead in 1967 as its second drummer, a move that was unheard of in the rock world at that time. The dynamic established between the two drummers was so impressive, however, that the duo earned the nickname, “Rhythm Devils.”

Mickey left the Grateful Dead in 1971 and released his solo album, Rolling Thunder, the following year. The solo album included many members from the Dead, as well as musicians from the San Francisco Bay area and World Music performers. Just two years later, Mickey teamed up with the Grateful Dead at the Winterland venue in San Francisco and provided percussion the following year on their album Blues For Allah. Mickey was back on board with the band until its dissolution in 1995 after the death of frontman, Jerry Garcia.

Since 1995, Mickey has kept busy with a multitude of projects. He’s continued to release new and inventive music. His album Planet Drum received the Grammy Award for Best World Music Recording in 1992, while his album Global Drum Project took home the Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album in 2007. He’s written four books about the history of music, specifically about percussion and its therapeutic qualities. He’s composed music for films like Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness. In 1991, Mickey appeared before the U.S. Senate Committee on Aging where he spoke on behalf of the healing qualities that drumming and rhythm had on afflictions related with aging. In 1999, he was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. As if that wasn’t enough, Mickey has also been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and in 2007 along with the other members of the Grateful Dead. He also received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. But when he’s not too busy, Mickey has reunited with his fellow remaining Grateful Dead members to perform in The Other Ones, keeping the spirit of the Dead alive well into the 21st Century!

Mickey has quite the body of work, so we had to narrow our list down extensively. Which Mickey Hart songs get your heart pumping? Let us know in the comments below!

Baby Box Program Launches for The Native Village of Eyak

Posted on

We hope that everyone’s 2015 is off to a fabulous start! At The Baby Box Co., one of our most exciting jobs is working with organizations to bring Baby Boxes to new mothers free of charge in their area. The groups that arrange funds and distribution for this special maternity package in their community actively participate in reducing infant mortality. Baby Box programs have also been shown to facilitate an increase in maternal healthcare awareness and clinic program usage among participants.

Today we’d like to introduce you to a community that launched a Baby Box program at the end of 2014 and is reaping the benefits! The Native Village of Eyak is a federally recognized self-governing Tribe that provides governmental services within the Tribe's customary and traditional use area: Prince William Sound, the Copper River, and the Gulf of Alaska. The organization of the Native Village of Eyak is a team based flat organization style. Council and member involvement in decision-making is strongly encouraged and facilitated by monthly meetings and frequent community gatherings.

Linda Brown, Community Wellness Coordinator for The Native Village of Eyak, heads the Tribe’s Baby Box program. She shared these wonderful pictures of new moms receiving their Baby Box maternity packages and will continue to update us throughout 2015!

Flear Farm

  • Stables External

The 45-acre Flear Estate is a picture-perfect country idyll with the added benefits of a host of the region's best beaches a short drive away, an acclaimed, and child-friendly, gastro-pub within a pleasant mile or so's walk and an indoor pool and play area that has mini guests grinning from ear to ear come rain or shine.

Flear does family rejuvenation to a tee. Whether rambling through the woods, splashing about in the pool, messing about on the trampoline or soaking in the views from the luxurious outdoor hot tub, the hectic pace of 'normal' daily life seems to melt away within a day or two of arrival, and that's before sampling the pre-bookable beauty and massage therapies, or taking advantage of the local chef-made meal deliveries.

New owners (Spring 2013) Barney and Camilla are a young couple who are injecting fresh energy into Flear and, thanks to first-hand experiences with their own young son 'Roo', they have real insight into what it takes to make a successful break with tots in tow, plus handy tips and advice on exploring the area with a little one.

Accommodation Overview: The 1843 Cottage

Taking its name from the date stone in the end wall of the cottage, 1843 is compact and full of charm. It is ideally suited to smaller families of 2 adults and a baby or 2 adults and 1 child. The ground floor contains an open-plan kitchen and a living area with log burner, comfortable sofas and a small dining table. On the first floor there is a single bedroom and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is on the top floor. There is a little enclosed front garden with a table and chairs to catch the evening sun.

« In honor of Fantasy Football season | Main | Bacon Salt Recipe: Bacony Chex Mix »

September 08, 2007

Aaron Tucker

Wow. After hearing this I'm just drooling until my BaconSalt arrives so I can put it on a hardboiled egg.

You guys should try to get this to restaurants like Wendy's. They have the Chicken BLT salad, but with BaconSalt it would be so much better! Or to any mass burger chain since it could add so much flavor to a quarter pounder or even sprinkled on McNuggets!

Another great idea would be BaconSalt Butter.. spread it on a pancake, corn on the cob, slather it onto a dinner roll or cornbread, or mix with some chocolate cake frosting and frost a cake or a pan of brownies with it!

Song List

Show Review

For our third installment of The Green Room, Baeble Music packed our big city bags for steamy Austin Texas and the annual South by Southwest Music Conference. Held on March 15th, 2007 at Red 7, Baeble welcomed a diverse lineup to perform as part of our monthly concert series, Push Play.

Joining Baeble for in-depth interviews and electric performances were the neo-psychedelia soundings of Hawthorne CA’s DIOS (MALOS), the sweaty, swagger of retro rockers, THE FILMS, fuzz pop aficionados, THE OOHLAS,and the always endearing French electro outfit, PROTOTYPES.

See more pictures from Push Play Episode 2 SXSW @ OUTWITHME.COM (Thnx Mitchell!)

Artist Bio

Hawthorne, CA's DIOS (MALOS) consists of guitarists/vocalists Kevin and Joel Morales, bassist John Paul Caballero, keyboardist Jimmy Cabeza DeVaca, and drummer Jackie Monzon. Hailing from the same town that spawned musical luminaries such as the Beach Boys, Emitt Rhodes, and Black Flag, the trippy wistfulness and D.I.Y aesthetic of their hometown predecessors certainly influenced Dios’ sonic approach.

Charleston, South Carolina's CA's THE FILMS formed in 2003 when four high school acquaintances with different musical pasts, found themselves scrapping to stay alive in America's South. Now, after relentless touring and stirring in the Southeast, Michael Trent (Vocals, Guitar), Jake Sinclair (Bass, Vocals) Kenneth Harris (Guitar, Keys,Vocals) and Adam C. Blake (Drums) bring their spit, grit, attitude, despair, and charm to Ausin.

Featuring ex-Everclear drummer Greg Eklund on guitar, indie rockers THE OOHLAS are fronted by vocalist/guitarist Ollie Stone and rounded off by Eklund's brother Mark on bass. The trio (they've had no permanent drummer) formed in 2004 after Stone relocated to Los Angeles from Phoenix and met Mark, who was working for Stone's aunt. Mark introduced her to Greg, who had recently left Everclear. Wasting little time, they practiced in Greg's studio and were playing in the Los Angeles area. Within a year, an EP was issue on Stolen Transmission Records, a subsidiary of Island, in February of 2006. In September the Oohlas released the full album Best Stop Pop.

Direct from Paris, France, PROTOTYPES are poised for Stateside domination. Already featured on an episode of Showtimes’ “The “L” Word,” and an iPod Shuffle commercial, they’re infiltrating the country with their pounding beats, commanding vocals, and demanding synthetic pop grooves.

Chip Adams (editor)

TheTripwire.com was formed over six years ago with the intention of providing an online community of "industry" tastemakers with the tools and services they needed to stay up on the cutting edge artists that shape the broader spectrum of the music world as we know it. They always aimed to support and highlight music for those in the industry that "genuinely care" and love music as much as they do. The goal was simply to turn people on to new artists and document all that was happening in the greater music world, something much needed in an industry dominated by intensely jaded people.

BUST Magazine

BUST is a groundbreaking women's lifestyle magazine that is unique in its ability to connect with bright, cutting-edge young women. With an attitude that is fierce, funny, and proud to be female, BUST's revolutionary editorial mix addresses a refreshing variety of women's interests, including pop culture, music, crafting, fashion, sex, news, and celebrity interviews. Hip, humorous, and honest, BUST is a cheeky celebration of all things female and a trusted authority on up-and-coming trends among young women.

Lo-Fi-Fnk (Lo-Fi-Funk)

Akin to nothing else currently roosting in this hugely well-respected indie's roster, Lo-Fi-Fnk are Leo Drougge and August Hellsing two kids hailing from Malmo, southern Sweden. The band started back in 2001 after Drougge and Hellsing joined forces at their local high school where they quickly started crafting danceable, electronic pop music, revealing their knack for killer melodies, infectious beats, and clever lyrics. Early in 2005, LFF released their very first UK EP with Moshi Moshi Records. Having notched up a ton of gigs across Europe this year, as well as appearances at Bestival, Iceland Airwaves, CMJ (their very first shows in NYC) and many other European festivals, Lo-Fi-Fnk are rapidly perfecting their live show. Their 2006 debut album 'Boylife’, will be re-release in April 2007.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 37 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by too tall it looks nice, but so tall that its only really useful if you have a huge kitchen and/or frequently bake very TALL cakes. if it were 2/3 the size it might be useful October 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Loves2bake This cake dome will hold an INCREDIBLY tall 3-layer frosted cake! It's a nice thick glass dome and was VERY well packaged. I can't wait to make a homemade mile-high fresh coconut cake to put on display under this cake dome!! October 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great for 3 or 4 layers My wife has been wanting a cake cover for her 3 layer chocolate cakes. I bought it for a surprise and she loves it. It sits well on several of her cake plates, flat and short rise. Can't wait for the next chocolate cake. Yummy! July 21, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by dissapointed I was very excited to order this cake dome as it looked beautiful in the photo, but was very disappointed in its appearance when it arrived. What looked to be a sparkly clear dome in the photos arrived as a dull cloudy glass dome with several imperfections in the glass. I would actually describe its appearance as 'dirty'. While one may expect a few glass bubbles which would add to the charm in blown glass this was not the case with this dome as it had several long dents and misshapen bubbles that seem to go almost all the way through the glass itself! It could never be used to cover a cake as its appearance would surely make any cake look unappetizing, and I have instead used it to cover a potted plant, sadly, it even looks bad in this role. With its dents and large fragile bubble holes I don't expect it to last long, which will be no great loss. I do regret the amount of money I spent for such a poor product. Live and learn! July 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elegant and practical I have admired this in the catalogs I receive, and finally decided it is a must have! This dome is tall enough for a FOUR layer cake. I plan on displaying other 'treasures' in it when not being used for my favorite Italian Cream Cake. As heavy as this is, it still has a delicate appearance. February 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Perfect Cake Dome I love my new three-layer cake dome! It is the only one I've found that will fit over my "signature," three-layer Italian cream cake, and it's wonderful to be able to show off the cake and keep it fresh. The glass is thick and sturdy, so I'm not worried about chipping it. So glad Ballard had this product! Jenny January 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beautiful cake cover. Had been searching for a high dome cake cover for several years since the one to my set broke. I was never able to find one at a reasonable price. This one is heavy, good quality and was on sale. It is higher than my previous one, but that is a good thing as it will fit any height cake with no problem. Would definitely recommend. January 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by wonderful Exactly what I was looking for. Good weight and height. December 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Just as Pictured I make a lot of three layer cakes and this cover allows them to show and become part of my kitchen's decor. Right now, I just put a bunch of mini pumpkins on my cake plate with the cover and it looks fabulous while waiting for the next fall cake. The item was extremely well packed too. I'm very pleased, as usual, with this Ballard product. November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nice heavy glass It's really more of a two layer cake dome, to get three layers would be a stretch or very small layers. However, it is very sturdy, nice glass and looks very nice on my cake pedestal. October 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very tall cake dome I love this cake dome! I looked everywhere for one this tall and was thrilled to find it here. It's perfect. September 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Heavy This shipped fast and is a lot sturdier than I thought it would be. Usually the bigger these things get, the thinner the glass. Very sturdy and will fit over a large plate. We will use as a cake dome and probably for Halloween décor. Love it. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by this product is perfect I read the reviews that came prior and was only concerned that one person said hers was fragile and of inferior quality. I went ahead and made my purchase any way because the size fit my needs perfectly and I must say I am so happy I did. The glass is strong, the handle safe and the height will not squash my decorations when I make my kids birthday cakes. The packaging was so secure and safe they really took great care in getting it to me on time and in one piece. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fits over pie dishes! I've made pies in the past I wanted to leave out displayed on my counter but covered. The circumference of this dome fits over a nice pie dish! July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stunning display piece! I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews to order, but was so pleased when I received it, the packaging was fantastic and so well done that the dome made it to my home without a scratch. I actually love that it isn't super heavy, it makes it so easy to lift off of cakes. I paired it with an extra large and tall jadeite cake stand and it is stunning together, an amazing statement piece in my kitchen, filled with oversized chocolate chip cookies, it looks like a gourmet bakery. I couldn't be happier with it, definitely recommend ordering! May 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beautufl dome, it is very large. I am pleased. I was looking for a dome for my large decorated cakes that would not crush my decorations. This is it. It will accommodate a tall cake with icing decorations. Beautiful glass, I love it. February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by would recommend this product I am so pleased with this glass dome. the glass is not too heavy or too light. Great for all treats. February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by This dome has abundant space and kitchen appeal. This dome is beautiful! Oversized and perfect! WOW! January 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by large cake dome I loved the size and quality of this. I made a seven layer cake and it fit perfectly. I recommend highly. January 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very pleased with the quality of the product this was purchased for my wife, who is an avid baker. Was nervous to what quality the product would be. The products exceeded my expectations and for such a delicate product both arrived without a chip, crack or blemish. You should be commended for product quality, excellent shipping methods and product that exceeds the catalog/online representation of same. January 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Timeless and classic Loved the large cake plate so much I ordered the medium and small versions. Timeless, classic elegance that will never go out of style. So many uses that I anticipate it will stay on display. January 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Very Tall! The cake dome is very tall and will accommodate several layers. It is great for tall cakes. You will not find a taller dome! It looks incredible over a 5 layer cake, atop the large marble cake stand. The downside: the glass is a little thin, making the dome rather delicate and finding a place to store such a tall, delicate glass dome is difficult. January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by This product has beauty and simplicity I will never have to worry about my 3-5 layer cakes being left uncovered again!! The cake dome is huge!! And it is beautiful--Thank you for a great product-- January 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love the dome! So impressed with the height of the cake dome. My three layer coconut cake fit beautifully. It made such a pretty show at Christmas. January 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great for three layers! Beautiful:). Bought two more for gifts:) I keep a fake cake in it for looks on my Kitchen Island. December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tall cake dome, excellent This is exactly as described. I am quite pleased with it. I would also like to commend Ballard customer service, who immediately shipped a replacement when the first one arrived broken. Good product, great service. September 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Very large cake dome! I've been in search of a cake dome that would accommodate a 3 layer cake and finally found this one. It is very large, and I would bet that it could hold 7 layers comfortably! I would have preferred to have something that won't dwarf my cakes but I can't seem to find a happy medium between this and a typical 1-2 layer cake dome. On the positive side, the simple styling makes for a versatile piece that goes well with all my cake plates (glass, silver and fine china) and I was able to snag it on sale. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by A southern living necessity if you want to serve that great cake in classic southern style! Love the tall dome which allows for a multi-layered cake to be displayed. Visualize a coconut layer cake or a black walnut cake with caramel icing. Can be used with a cake stand or platform. Also great for serving rounds or wedges of cheese. When not in use as a cake dome can be used as a cloche over plants or decorative objects. August 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by The Cake Dome is both functional and Beautiful. I'm very, very pleased with my purchase. The size is perfect for an over sized cake as well as a smaller cake. The dome looks beautiful on my oak side board. The care in packing and shipping was so appreciated. I plan on making additional purchases in the near future. Sincerely, VWhite August 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Functional and versatile cake dome. This is a perfect cake dome. High enough to hold a 6 layer cake and looks impressive. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product. July 15, 2013

 Jim Jones Talks Cam'ron Fallout, Says Dame Dash is "a Bird" | BallerStatus.com

Jim Jones Talks Cam’ron Fallout, Says Dame Dash is “a Bird”

Jim Jones appeared on The Breakfast Club this week, where he updated fans on all things Jim Jones.

During the interview, the Harlem rap vet goes into his career on reality TV, the issues between members of Dipset and Cam'ron, and wanting to patch up issues with Jay Z and Nas.

While discussing the come-up of Dipset, Jones was asked about former friend Dame Dash, who he called "a bird". "Dame is a bird, he's always been a bird," he said, also calling Tru Life, who was recently released from prison, "a bird" as well.

Elsewhere, Jones talks about his new album, The Kitchen, as well as talk of him retiring for music, among other things.

Re: Judging own pupils

Anonymous. Well answered. We probably have many more competitions than you do. In smaller competitions its not uncommon for there to be only one couple entered in their grade. They will take to the floor and dance their dances whether it be one or five. There could also be two or three or more dancers , and maybe only one dance. The same. They all get there full quota.
Sometimes it can be very interesting if a really good couple are alone it becomes a Demonstration.
But that doesn`t alter the fact that to be on the floor judging your own pupils cant be right. And if that one rotten apple does, then the rest do it also. Otherwise they put themselves and their pupils at a disadvantage. Would you agree with that last sentance

Transforming Cole Field House into a national hub for sports medicine

Development catches up to Sharp-Leadenhall

Roland Brown likes to remember old Leadenhall Street and the people who lived there when he was a child: the Harts, Miss Mary, Emma Jane.

They're gone now — dead or moved away, many of them forced out decades ago to make way for a never-realized highway. Brown, 82, now lives on Montgomery Street in the house where his grandfather founded a funeral home in 1909.

His front steps face south into Sharp-Leadenhall, a historically African-American community between Federal Hill and M&T Bank Stadium, where tidy alleyway rowhouses give way to empty warehouses, cracked sidewalks and grassy vacant lots.

"It's two neighborhoods, if you want to know the truth," said Brown, who says he lives in South Baltimore. It's a name that rejects the lines drawn on city maps, which divide Federal Hill from Otterbein and Sharp-Leadenhall.

A recently announced plan to develop a $250 million mix of offices, apartments and stores on a three-block stretch of largely commercial properties there could erase one of the peninsula's most durable boundaries between Sharp-Leadenhall and Federal Hill, just as others in South Baltimore have been rubbed away by time, as well as by rising property values, opportunistic rental listings and eager, early-morning runners.

"I've had the feeling up until this that whatever changes came ... Sharp-Leadenhall still seemed to me to remain basically the same," said the Rev. Lowell Thompson, pastor of Ss. Stephen and James Lutheran Church, who has served in the neighborhood since 1960. "What's going to happen here has the potential, I think, to bring about a major change in the character of this whole neighborhood."

News of the project by Caves Valley Partners, a Towson-based development firm, brought excitement to a community long overlooked for investment, Thompson said. But it also revived memories of the history of the neighborhood, where about 3,000 people were relocated and more than 300 inhabited homes demolished as part of urban renewal efforts between 1968 and 1974.

"Now things are actually going to change, we have to work for that to mean the most positive things for the most possible people," he said.

Established by freed slaves and German immigrants in about 1790, Sharp-Leadenhall was home to important institutions: large churches, the Baltimore Abolitionist Society and the first school for African-Americans south of the Mason-Dixon line. In 1890, more than 4,400 people lived in the area, which included what is now Otterbein.

By the middle of the 20th century, living conditions had deteriorated and zoning encouraged industries to locate there. Families moved, if they could, and the area was targeted for urban renewal, with a proposal to cut Interstate 95 through Sharp-Leadenhall, across the Inner Harbor to Fells Point. About 620 Sharp-Leadenhall families, about 80 percent of them black and many of them renters, were relocated.

Opposition — the fight helped launch the career of Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski — eventually blocked the project, but in Sharp-Leadenhall, the damage was done: Between 1960 and 1977, the population dropped from 5,000 to 500. The site of some razed homes became the Otterbein development, and the city offered homes that had stood vacant since the relocations for $1, if a buyer had the finances to fix up the property.

Brown, who remembers when houses rented for $9 and there were eight grocery stores, three funeral homes, a few white families and a fish market in the blocks between Hanover and Howard streets south of Conway, was one of the few forced out who returned.

"Once they started that proposal for the interstate … they destroyed the neighborhood, and it never came back," he said.

Some worry that that legacy of displacement could haunt the Caves Valley plan, proposed for an area between Race and Leadenhall streets, bordered by Cross Street to the north and train tracks to the south.

Those blocks contain just a handful of residences, which could remain, according to Caves Valley partner Arsh Mirmiran. But the promise of revitalization could cause new displacement.

"If you want to look at one community and urban renewal and displacement in Baltimore, this would be it," said Matthew Durington, an associate professor of cultural anthropology at Towson University, who has done research in the area. "If these folks want to come in and do something for Baltimore … who would argue against that? The question is: Is there an opportunity to do this in an inclusive way that maybe hasn't been done before, or are we going to repeat the same story that we've seen in Baltimore time and time again?"

Some signs of change already have surfaced in Sharp-Leadenhall. In 1990, 84 percent of its 881 residents were black, according to census results sorted by the city. In 2010, 68 percent of the 822 residents were black.

Betty Bland-Thomas, a community leader who bought her Cross Street home in 2000, has advocated to keep affordable units in the neighborhood, a position controversial among some homeowners.

"How can we be that close to the Inner Harbor where there were once slaves and not have any kind of black community?" said Bland-Thomas, president of the South Baltimore Partnership. "I think it would be a disservice to Afro-Americans in the United States, as well as a disservice to the history of this community, as well as the living recipients of that history, as well as the city."

At the same time, some say, investment is overdue.

"This is certainly welcome, and not unexpected, but it also has taken longer to come than we might have guessed," said Charlie Allen, a principal at Evergreen Partners, a Maine-based development company focused on affordable housing that took ownership of the subsidized Sharp-Leadenhall Apartments in 2009.

The timing of Caves Valley's announcement reflects a confluence of factors — an upswing in the commercial real estate market, the success of nearby neighborhoods and decreasing crime. The developer also is involved in the Horseshoe Baltimore casino.

The community also lobbied for changes that made it more desirable, including the full-time opening of the Hamburg Street light rail station in 2005 and the designation of the neighborhood north of Cross Street as a historic district.

Changing racial attitudes hover in the background.

"I don't think you have to read too closely between the lines to see there may be an element of the demographics in the neighborhood relative to other neighborhoods around the harbor that dissuaded people from coming here," Mirmiran said. "We don't care what the racial or ethnic or religious makeup of the area is. … We think it's fundamentally great real estate."

Some residents said resistance to developing the area also has come from within the community.

"They normally fight against development because they want the neighborhood, the history, to stay intact, but it's been gone. It's been gone for a while," said Angela Miles, who moved to her Cross Street home in 2000. "As long as we're able to park … I think we won't have any problems."

The Caves Valley plan calls for several hundred apartments, 300,000 square feet of offices, 60,000 to 70,000 square feet of retail, and close to 2,000 parking spaces. The first phase, expected to cost between $80 million and $90 million, will focus on the part of the site closest to the Cross Street Market. Mirmiran said Caves envisions buildings of five or six stories there; taller structures in the eight- to 12-story range would be built toward the train tracks.

The firm, which also worked on 1111 Light Street and Riverside Wharf, is counting on South Baltimore's popularity as a residential neighborhood, as well as trends suggesting businesses want to locate in the neighborhoods where their employees live.

"We're not relocating residents. We're relocating businesses and bringing residents back to the neighborhood," Mirmiran said.

Caves Valley has committed to building a new community center on the parking lot of the nearly 150-year-old Leadenhall Baptist Church.

Community members, including Bland-Thomas, have broached the subject of a long-dreamed-of cultural center that would inform about the neighborhood's history and include affordable residences on upper floors.

Brown, who worked on urban renewal cases for the Department of Housing and Urban Development until 1989, advising owners on how to get fair value for their properties, said he doesn't expect public resistance to the project — as long as there's parking. But he's not convinced the project will benefit current residents.

"No matter what they do down there … nobody from this area is going to have jobs down there," he said.

Others hold out hope.

"If we can erase this invisible line of the haves and have-nots and look at this development as an opportunity to blend in, I think it could be a win for all," Bland-Thomas said.
