The Febco 806 Series double check detector assemblies began production in 1979 and is still in production. Based off the 805 series, it has a bypass meter to monitor water usage, most common on fire systems. The 806 series was available in sizes 3 - 10". The earlier 806/806Y body was constructed of epoxy coated cast iron. It featured epoxy coated cast iron check assemblies. A spring compression tool is required to change springs. No special tools are required to change rubbers. The 806Y had replaceable seats but a special tool was required for removal. the 806YD was introduced in 1988. The body was changed to a ductile iron, painted epoxy coating. In 1991, the painted epoxy coating was replaced with a fused epoxy coating. All check assemblies where changes to stainless steel construction. The newer stainless steel checks are interchangable with the older cast iron or bronze check assemblies. The seats were redesigned so no special tools are required for servicing. The covers were also redesigned and in turn the cover O-rings are different. All rubber repair kits include both old and new style cover O-rings. Check disc rubbers remained the same through all the years of changes. Bypass backflows are all 3/4" and were either model 805Y or 805YB.

When I was working for a large municipality, I found some software upgrades sort of overwhelming, even when I liked the new features. To feel more comfortable while I learned the new environment, I always created a sort of home page to get comfortable with the new views and organization.
I will post the steps I took and a couple of more screenshots, in case youd like to try this approach.
This post has a screenshot of my home page for QB. It has restored my comfort level even though I havent mastered too many of the new tools that are now available. It shows only the Threads and Forums I want to see when I log in to QB.
I will post the steps and other screenshots in other posts, so read on if you think you'd like to do this.

t-shirt // adidas via size?
jeans // asos (sale)
watch // casio via asos
gazelle trainers // adidas via footasylum
Hello lovelies! I wish I'd had a chance to show off this tee earlier, I've had it about a month now. Thankfully it's still in stock online. I love these adi tees, I definitely wanted to get one and I wasn't sure what colour because the black and white are really popular, but then I saw size? had the grey and I knew it was for me.
Generally my style these days is all plain basics and black/white with lots of denim, but I will always be into my sportswear (as a girl obsessed with trainers would be) and this top is just so bladdy nice. I thought about mixing brands with my trainers but decided to just be matchy and put on some more three stripes.

These are a few of the cases available for sponsorship through the Onslow Christmas Cheer program.

For more information about these cases, or if you wish to consider sponsorship, call the AT&T Sponsor Line at 910-616-4343. The deadline for sponsoring a family is Dec. 10.
Christmas Cheer also accepts donations. The most urgent need is for toys and food, according to organizers.
For information about donating or volunteering, call 938-HELP.

Tony G's opens in Ruckersville
Former Northern Exposure chef Tony Bonanno and Carmello's George Hatzigeorgio have teamed up to create Tony G's Grill in Ruckersville, which opened right next to Boot'vil in the old 29 Truck Stop space on June 27. Hence the "Tony" and the "G."
"Tony has always been a good friend of ours," says Hatzigeorgio, "so we decided to go into business together. It will be like a more affordable sister restaurant of Carmello's."
Hatzigeorgio says they'll be open for lunch and dinner, serving up burgers, steaks, seafood, Italian dishes, and cuisine from the rest of the European continent as well.
5 comments
The lunch menu is VERY small and basic. The dinner menu appears to have much more variety.
Rolls were served at room temperature. I would have liked hot bread. The chicken marsella tasted like some one opened up a can of franko american gravy and poured it over chicken with a few canned mushrooms. The house salad dressing was a strong mustard like taste. I will not go back. I will take my 33.00 and go to Bone Fish.
Tony G's is a breath of fresh olive oil in Greene County where they still think good food must come on a bun. There's a lot of $80,000 Audi's driving around here, now. It's about time a Greene County restaurant stepped up to par.
The Carpaccio is so divine, it popped-up on the menu of a famous local restaurant. The steaks are like butter; and where else are you going to get a 22oz ribeye for $21.95? The pizza Margherita is the closest thing to real pizza you'll get south of New Jersey.
Somebody else on this post is making noise about paying vendors. That sounds like a personal problem. The guy who owns this place has been in the business for thirty-five years. I assume he knows what's he's doing. And that's enough for me.
I go to a restaurant to eat. And the food is great at Tony G's. It's a C-ville-class restaurant that happens to be next door to a saddle shop.
Welcome to Greene County.
I went there and ordered a ton of things off of the menu for a small get together. There was only one thing out of four appetizers and five entrees, soup etc., that I would go back for; sadly, it was the onion rings.
The mussels had not even been properly cleaned. You could smell that they weren't prepped enough to even taste. I may give them another try way down the line but Greene is so centrally located, I can get to many great restaurants within 15 minutes. There is no reason to feel compelled to compromise when you want a decent dining experience or a good reason not to cook.

Students Battle in South Dakota State Geographic Bee
ABERDEEN - A hundred students from across South Dakota are taking part in a state-level competition to determine who will represent South Dakota in the 25th annual National Geographic Bee.
Preliminary rounds begin at 10:15 a.m. Friday at Northern State University in Aberdeen, with the final round following at 1 p.m.
The national competition is scheduled for May 20-22 in Washington, D.C., with a $25,000 college scholarship at stake. The final round will be moderated by "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek.
National Geographic developed the National Geographic Bee in 1989 in response to concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States.

Baileys Shamrock Cookies
The cookie part is intensely chocolate, so chocoholics rejoice! For those who aren't so chocolate obsessed, it might be a bit too much. I thought it was a bit of overkill myself and next time I might cut back on the cocoa powder a bit. But the Baileys frosting? Mmm. When I made them, I did half Baileys, half milk, which was tasty, but the chocolate cookie overpowered it. So I upped it to 2 tablespoons of Baileys and the rest milk for the written recipe. But feel free to do less, or even none at all if you're making them for the wee lads and laddies. And by all means, go ahead and add more if you want to really booze it up! You don't need an Irish holiday to enjoy these either. Cut them out into circles or whatever shape you feel like and have them any time of the year! They're so yummy!
Hope you had the luck of the Irish with you yesterday and had a great and safe holiday!
P.S. - Can you believe this is my 100th post? Wow!
Baileys Shamrock Cookies
Adapted from Martha Stewart's Cookies and Allrecipes.com
Makes 2 to 3 dozen cookies (depending on the size of your cookie cutter)
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
1 1/2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Food coloring (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)
1. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, and salt; set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low and gradually add in flour mixture.
3. Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and pat out into discs. Wrap discs in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
5. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut shapes from dough, transferring to prepared baking sheets with an offset spatula. Reroll and cut scraps.
6. Bake cookies until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. While cookies are cooling, make the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together shortening, Baileys, milk, and vanilla until combined. Gradually add in sugar, beating until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add food coloring, if using.
8. Spread on cooled cookies and top with sprinkles, if using. Let icing set before storing, about 1 hour.

Maybe the cookie is supposed to be extra chocolaty so it requires more Bailey's? : ) They look great!

They were yummy. The cookies were soft, which surprised me because when you buy cookies that look like these, the cookies are normal hard as a rock.
I loved the chocolately goodness.

Enhanced Hubble Image of Comet ISON
This is a contrast-enhanced image produced from the Hubble images of Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) to reveal the subtle structure in the inner coma of the comet. In this computer-processed view, the Hubble image has been divided by a computer model coma that decreases in brightness proportionally to the distance from the nucleus, as expected for a comet that is producing dust uniformly over its surface. ISON's coma shows enhanced dust particle release on the sunward-facing side of the comet's nucleus, the small, solid body at the core of the comet. This information is invaluable for determining the comet's shape, evolution, and spin of the solid nucleus.

NEW YORK — The Fox News Channel tackled a topic today that it had recently only danced around, by categorically describing all Muslims as "pretty much evil" and embraced the change wholeheartedly in its new slogan We're Pretty Sure That Muslims Want to Drink Your Blood.
Journalists, anchors, contributors, and hackneyed scientists employed by the channel all supported the decision to declare Muslims as evil. "We pretty much all feel this way, anyway," said Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson. "I mean, why hide behind our thinly veiled bigotry any longer? We're just coming out with it."
Bill O' Reilly, on of Fox's most popular personalities, said that Fox is just "stating what is pretty obviously truth." O' Reilly stated that "liberals want you to think that you live in a world where Muslims are actually people, and not this mutant strain that lives only to kill and terrorize real humans."
Glenn Beck, another Fox personality who has skyrocketed in popularity and support in recent months, also supports the network's new stance, although takes a less accusatory role, surprisingly, than O' Reilly. "Let's be honest with ourselves; Muslims are not the cause of all our society's problems today. We also have problems with communo-facism and left-wing Constitution-killers," Beck continued, "although all those people really start with a Muslim base. So they're the root cause of all our problems, but we still have to get rid of the day-walkers that they spawned."
Sean Hannity called it a "bold move" and said he expects Fox's viewership to rise, because Fox is "really just saying what every American is feeling." Hannity also claims to know a guy who knows a guy who knew somebody that had their blood drank by a Muslim. "They're the terror of the night," Hannity continued, "and I wouldn't be surprised if they could turn into bats. But I'm sure they're not allergic to the sun so we'll have to use military force to stop them."
Shepard Smith failed to toe the company line, however, saying "This is bad."
Fox's website has also been updated with safety and emergency plans for the average American family. "We feel that all Americans should be educated in how to Muslim-proof their houses and their communities," said Newt Gingrich, host of Fox's new show "Keeping You Safe and Afraid: Muslim Terror and Threat Alert Warning News Show: How to Keep Your Blood Safe from Followers of Islam: Hide in Your Basement With a Gun".
Muslim leaders in America and around the rest of the world said they were not surprised by the News Channel's new slogan, saying that fundamentally nothing has changed. Radical Muslim extremists condemned the news and Western culture in general, and continued to blow things up and shoot civilians like they do on a regular basis.

I've been loving this weather. I think I have too many gardens though! It's a sad thing to be so obsessed! I need to quit working so I can keep up with the gardens and lawn! :)ReplyDelete
I really wanted a pink azalea like yours (it's gorgeous!) but we found the one we have on sale for half price in the fall of 2005, so we grabbed it.

Just found your beautiful blog via pinterest! Gorgeous color combo... I'll certainly be back for more!ReplyDelete
I like the idea of using this shade as an accent - maybe just paint the picture rail, skirting board or door frame in this hue and then keep the black. I think they would make a good combo - like mint chocolate.ReplyDelete
P.S. Pinning every image - thanks for the inspiration!

Hey Alaina,ReplyDelete
I love color ideas, but I'm nervous about painting my house. The last owner used high-gloss paint everywhere, ugh. But what's worrisome is that the walls aren't quite even everywhere. Do you have a (cheap) suggestion for how I can make sure the surface is nice and flat before I spend money on paint that still won't look nice?
Soooo gorgeous...love that color and on the outside of a home- it looks even more fab!ReplyDelete

Iranian Revolutionary Guards Attack Kurdish Opposition Group in Iraq0 comments - published on Wednesday, July 20, 2011
Over the weekend thousands of Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Troops crossed into Iraq and attacked Iraqi Kurdish villages.
According to an article by Kenneth Timmerman in Newsmax, the Revolutionary Guards are targeting basis for Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), a Kurdish/Iranian opposition group currently operating in Iran.
According to this news article PJAK guerilla fighters confirmed the death of 108 Revolutionary Guards while 200 more were injured during the attacks. Seven PJAK fighters also lost their lives.
While the Revolutionary Guards were busy invading Iraq and attacking Kurdish activists, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and the Prime Minister of the Kurdish Regional Government Dr. Barham Salih left for China to encourage Chinese investment in Iraq.
It is not surprising that the Iraqi Government has remained silent in the face of these attacks, what is surprising is the silence of Iranian opposition. If there was ever a time to be outraged and to speak out this is it.
Once again the Islamic Regime has taken it upon itself to cross borders and attack an opposition group in a desperate attempt to defeat and silence them.
If we as Iranian opposition and activists remain silent today there is no telling what the Regime will do tomorrow and who it will attack next!
I urge all opposition groups and independent activists to take a strong stand against these attacks, in order to prevent the Regime from carrying out such attacks in the future.
Just a reminder:
"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Down with Islamic Regime in Iran
Long Live Freedom in Iran
The Iranian Embassy in Canada Should be Shut Down!0 comments - published on Wednesday, July 13, 2011
On July 8th 2011 Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced that Canada together with the United Kingdom and the United States is increasing restrictions on the Iranian authorities to hold them accountable for their international human rights obligations.
While this is a step in the right direction, it will not be enough to prevent the Regime in Tehran from systematically violating the rights of its citizens or enriching uranium and moving closer to acquiring nuclear weapons. While these factors alone should encourage Canada to take a stronger stand against the Regime in Iran, there is also the Iranian Regime's attempt to penetrate and influence Canadian government and non-government institutions.
In October 2010, the problem-plagued RCMP Community Outreach program promoted a so-called "peace conference" organized by well-known regime apologist Akbar Manoussi. Apparently shaken that the RCMP could place a person of such sympathies on one of their advisory boards, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews scrambled to announce that the RCMP must keep clear of this and other hate fests. Other troubling RCMP outreach has occurred but, despite pleas from moderate Muslims and others, Mr. Toews has been helpless to force the issue.
In January, Library and Archives Canada, our federal library, capitulated to Iranian pressure and cancelled a showing of the film Iranium. Protests by the sponsor, the Free Thinking Film Society, spurred the Canadian government to re-schedule the event.
Despite these red flags, Tehran still enjoys the credibility and influence that comes with having an embassy in Ottawa. In fact, to the disgust of pro-democracy activists, National Arts Centre officials recently invoked Canada's relations with Iran as justification for allowing the mullah regime to host – via an Iranian "cultural" organization – a lavish event at the Canadian taxpayer-funded NAC.
It must be said that, especially since Iran's 2003 killing of Iranian-Canadian journalist Zahra Kazemi, our government has shown itself willing to limit the scope of its diplomatic relationship with Iran. Nonetheless, its embassy continues to allow Iran a formidable base of operations in our midst.
Many Iranian-Canadians and others familiar with Iranian Regime refer to Iran's embassy as "The House of Terror." The embassy serves as an operational headquarters for attempts to spy on Canadians and manipulate policy and public opinion. It identifies and intimidates pro-democracy activists, with particular regard to Iranian-Canadian dissidents whose families in Iran may be vulnerable. Along with front organizations, embassy personnel penetrate our universities, and some "students", boasting embassy connections, warn campus democracy activists not to get out of line.
Meanwhile, Iranian immigrants complain that expatriate Iranian "volunteers" are joining immigrant-settlement organizations in order to spy on newcomers from Iran, rather than to help integrate Iranian immigrants into Canadian life, values and loyalty.
The crisis is building; with a terror-linked Iranian brigadier general's recent boast that Western countries are infiltrated by Tehran's armed forces – and general recognition that Iranian Revolutionary Guard elements operate from many of Regime's embassies. The embassy of Iran, like so many of its "cultural" and other offices, is a threat to the sovereignty and security of Canadians.
It is time to shut it down.

Commemorating 18 Tir- July 9th 1999 Pro-Democracy Demonstrations0 comments - published on Wednesday, July 06, 2011
The twelfth anniversary of 18 Tir (July 9th 1999) the Iranian pro-democracy uprising that shook the Islamic Regime for six days is fast approaching and once again activists in Iran and abroad are getting ready to mark this day with worldwide protests.
While 18 Tir protests were trigged by the banning of a reformist newspaper "Salam', the protests quickly escalated into a six day anti-government demonstrations which sought to overthrow the Islamic Regime in its entirety. While the students had started the protests, soon Iranians from all walks of life joined in the fight against the government and shook the Regime to the core.
What is most significant about 18 Tir is the fact that this was the first time in 20 years where Iranian people came out in overwhelming numbers to fight against the government and for democracy in Iran. While the pro-democracy movement in Iran had been active from the very beginning of the revolution, this was the first time ever people came out in such significant numbers and attacked the Regime publicly and in the streets.
Regime was shocked and scared and handled the situation in the only way it knew how, by arresting and torturing thousands of students and activists, and sentencing them to long imprisonment terms. At least one student Ezzat Ebrahim Nejad was shot to death by Regime agents while protesting, but the number may be much higher.
Among those arrested and falsely charged with "risking national security" was Akbar Mohammadi a student who was arrested and sentenced to death for his involvement in the peaceful demonstrations. Due to overwhelming international pressure his sentence was eventually reduced to 15 years of imprisonment. Unfortunately Akbar Mohammadi died under very suspicious circumstances in August 2nd 2006, in the notorious Evin Prison while he was on a hunger strike. Many believe that he was murdered in prison because he would not give up his fight against the Islamic Regime under any circumstances.
Another note worthy activist who was arrested during 18 Tir was Behrouz Javid Tehrani, a student activist and the only remaining political prisoner from July 9th 1999 pro-democracy demonstrations. Mr. Tehrani has spent most of the past 12 years in Islamic Regime prisons because he also refused to stop his fight for democracy and freedom in Iran.
On 18 Tir we remember Ezzat Ebrahim Nejad, Akbar Mohammadi, Behrouz Javid Tehrani and thousands of other activists who have lost their lives in the fight for a free and democratic Iran, or who have spent the best years of their lives in Islamic Regime dungeons to create a better Iran.
The pro-democracy movement in Iran which showed its teeth during the six day 18 Tir Protests continues today and is arguably stronger than it has ever been. While twelve years ago we did not hear the slogan of "down with the Islamic Regime," we hear it today in Iranian streets on a regular basis.
It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to remember and to continue on this path until the Islamic Regime is overthrown and we have a free and democratic Iran.
Down with the Islamic Regime in Iran
Long Live Freedom in Iran

Last month I was fortunate enough to stop by the ranch of one Kenny Roberts Sr., and got to look at the Grandfather to American Roadracing's personal motorcycle collection. Comprised of nearly a dozen KR Proton MotoGP machines, amongst the nearly forty bikes in the collection, King Kenny easily has the quintessential motorcycle dream garage — and I haven't even gotten to mentioning the stacks of race leathers, helmets, trophies, and other racing memorabilia that line the walls and cover the tables in the small two-wheeled gallery.
Making some space in his collection, Kenny Roberts Sr. has put four race bikes from the Team KR racing heritage up on the auction block, two of which are KR Proton GP machines. The first bike up for grabs is a KR Proton KR3 (above) that was ridden by Nobuatsu Aoki, which raced in the 2001 500GP Championship and features a two-stroke V3 motor. Also offering a MotoGP-era four-stroke machine, King Kenny has added his KR Proton KRV5 XM2 (below), which was ridden by his youngest son, Kurtis Roberts, in the 2004 MotoGP Championship, and features a proprietary five-cylinder motor.

In a very short span of time, R&B singer/songwriter Chrisette Michele shot from small-time performer up to one of Def Jam's most promising talents, purely based on her unique instrument — a gorgeous and effortlessly versatile singing voice colored with Billie Holiday-esque inflections of vocal pop and jazz. The jazz-influenced vocalist, born Chrisette Michele Payne in 1982, developed her pipes through singing gospel, first performing for a congregation at age four. God and music were clearly instrumental in her upbringing: her father, who also played the organ, was a deacon, and her mother was the church's choir director. Growing up in Patchogue, New York, a small town on Long Island, the young singer's parents always kept her busy with tap dancing, piano lessons, choir rehearsals, and the like. But at age 17,Chrisette had an epiphany. After a teacher gave her a CD containing the bossa nova standard "The Girl from Ipanema," she was immediately won over to jazz by Brazilian jazz singer Astrud Gilberto's voice. She spent endless hours isolated in a room with a piano learning jazz standards as they were sung by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and other greats. She wound up studying vocal and jazz performance at Five Townes College on Long Island.
When she began doing gigs at local venues, it was mainly for small audiences at open mikes or for auditions. However, shortly thereafter, neo-soul singer India.Arie, who spotted her at Manhattan's Village Underground club, enlisted Chrisette to be her opening act, as did Kem and Angie Stone. And at that same club, she was also discovered by representatives of Def Jam, who were enamored with her vocal abilities and had her signed to the label by 2006. At the end of the year, Def Jam brought her out in full force, allowing her to write and sing the hooks for Jay-Z's "Lost Ones" and Nas' Nat King Cole-inspired "Can't Forget About You." Her album debut, I Am, followed in June 2007. Adding to the album's influences of gospel, adult alternative pop, and hip-hop, she wrote all the songs herself and worked closely with artists/producers Babyface, Salaam Remi, John Legend, and will.i.am. For Epiphany, released in March 2009, the majority of the songwriting was farmed out to the likes of Chuck Harmony and Rodney Jerkins; it topped the R&B and Billboard 200 charts despite lacking a major single. Chrisette was back to writing most of the material for November 2010's Let Freedom Reign, an album produced entirely by Harmony. While it debuted within the Top Ten of Billboard's R&B chart, it was her last album for Def Jam. She switched to Motown for Better, released in June 2013, with input from several producers, including Harmony, Carvin & Ivan, Oak & Pop, and Wizzy Wow.

2038 Route 23 North
Directions West Milford, NJ 07480
Actual rating will vary with options, driving conditions, habits and vehicle condition.
Numbers are inevitable when talking about cars. Whether it's dimensions, horsepower, wheel size or seat count, each category has a number attached to it — and it's often used to trump a competitor.
There's a number Dodge (and other makers of big crossovers) would probably like to brush under the rug: 75, as in $75 to fill the tank of the redesigned 2011 Durango I tested. The price for a gallon of regular gas in the Chicago suburbs was $3.65, and my total would have been a little higher had I not reached the pump's limit for credit-card transactions.
The Durango is a remarkably well-mannered, high-quality seven-seat crossover suitable for a family road trip, but its fuel economy — typical for its size — is a big liability.
I tested the most efficient version of the Durango available: a rear-wheel-drive model with the base V-6 engine, which is rated 16/23 mpg city/highway. It was a midrange Crew trim level, which starts at $33,195, but plenty of technology options pushed the as-tested price to $41,485.
The Look
The previous-generation Durango had an odd look to it from certain angles, but the 2011 model is considerably more stylish. Dodge designer Mark Trostle repeatedly used the word "proportion" when describing its looks. It does indeed have nice proportions, and the design is enhanced by a new take on Dodge's signature crosshair grille that gives the Durango an intimidating stare. The sides and rear are less memorable, and the design seems to sag slightly behind the rear wheels, but on the whole it's attractive for a big crossover.
Perception-Changing Interior Quality
Previous Dodge interiors didn't do the brand many favors. They were rightly criticized for their uninspired design and rudimentary construction that significantly trailed the competition at a time when design and interior quality were becoming more important to consumers. The redesigned Durango's all-new cabin is a big improvement over the old model's lackluster one, and it's among the best in the segment. It's amazing what a few years and a full redesign can do.
One of the things I like most about the Durango's new cabin is that Dodge didn't forget about the little details — an oversight for which it used to be notorious. Smooth finishes on plastic trim pieces like the door pockets and armrest storage release button might not seem like much, but they go a long way toward raising the overall feel of the cabin — a space that already benefits from high-grade materials and good panel fit.
In addition to style, this Durango has substance. The front bucket seats are comfortable, and even though the step-in height isn't excessive, you get a commanding view of the road. The seats are supportive — especially for your thighs — and were finished in optional leather (upscale cloth upholstery is standard).
The second-row bench seat doesn't slide, but its fixed position has more usable legroom for adult passengers than the second row in the redesigned 2011 Ford Explorer. The Durango is just a few inches longer than the Explorer but features a wheelbase that's 7 inches longer. Longer wheelbases tend to provide more room for passengers, and that's the case here. Meanwhile, the two-person third row can handle adult passengers in a pinch, thanks to decent headroom, but it's best suited for children.
Admirable Composure
The highlight of the new Durango's driving experience is, without question, its ride comfort and overall poise. The Durango's foundation is a good one, as it shares its platform with the recently redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is 10 inches shorter. Those roots are evident the moment you get behind the wheel.
For a large three-row crossover, the Durango handles well. There's some body roll when cornering, but it always feels planted and stable. There's none of the tipsiness that many SUVs of a decade ago exhibited.
The Durango's confidence-inspiring steering yields arrow-straight tracking and smooth lane changes, aiding highway cruising comfort. Some drivers might be intimidated by the Durango's large dimensions, but know that this crossover is as easy to drive as one of Chrysler's minivans, and it's right there with the Chevrolet Traverse and the Explorer.
V-6 Power
I was the lone occupant during my test, but the Durango is relatively quick off the line and didn't have any trouble keeping pace with fast-moving highway traffic. That's thanks to the standard 290-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6; it's a smooth-revving engine, and it moves the Durango well. The only time it felt sluggish was when accelerating from midrange speeds with the five-speed automatic in one of its higher gears. The automatic shifts smoothly, but it can pause for a moment when you want it to kick down to a lower gear.
The rear-wheel-drive V-6 version is rated 16/23 mpg. The rating drops to 16/22 mpg when you add optional all-wheel drive. With the optional 360-hp, 5.7-liter V-8, it's rated 14/20 mpg with rear-wheel drive and 13/20 mpg with all-wheel drive.
The Durango's V-6 mileage estimates slightly trail those of its competitors. The Traverse gets 17/24 mpg or 16/23 mpg with front- or all-wheel drive, respectively, and the Explorer gets 17/25 mpg or 17/23 mpg. Meanwhile, the front-wheel-drive Mazda CX-9 is rated 17/24 mpg, while the all-wheel-drive model gets 16/22 mpg. (None of these models offer a V-8 engine.)
If you need to tow a heavy trailer, the Durango's capacity will more than make up for its slight fuel economy disadvantage. When properly equipped, the V-6 Durango can tow up to 6,200 pounds — significantly more than the Traverse (5,200 pounds), Explorer (5,000 pounds) or CX-9 (3,500 pounds). If you need to tow something heavier still, the V-8 Durango is rated for a maximum of 7,400 pounds (RWD) or 7,200 pounds (AWD).
Unless you're eyeing a Chevrolet Suburban or Ford Expedition EL, most three-row SUVs and crossovers don't have a lot of cargo room behind the last row of seats. In the Durango, the cargo area with all the seats upright is 17.2 cubic feet — a bit more than you'd find in your average family sedan. There's a bin under the cargo floor if you want to hide smaller items from view.
It's easy to fold the 50/50-split third row with one hand. It drops level with the cargo floor and expands the volume to 47.7 cubic feet, which is a little more than you get in the Explorer when its third row is down (43.8 cubic feet) but less than the 68.8 cubic feet of space behind the Traverse's second row.
Standard safety features include side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags for all three rows, antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, and trailer-sway control.
Optional features include a blind spot warning system, rear cross-path detection, adaptive cruise control with an integrated collision warning system, a backup camera, and rear parking sensors.
For a full list of safety features in the Durango, visit the Standard Equipment & Specs page.
Durango in the Market
Dodge has had a busy 2011 model year, remaking models like the Charger full-size sedan, Journey crossover and Durango, to name just a few.
The 2011 Durango is proof that the brand can compete with the best, but it enters the market at absolutely the wrong time thanks to circumstances not of its making. There's no telling what gas prices will do in the future, but the recent run-up that's brought the national average close to the historic highs of just a few years ago will weigh on car shoppers' minds in the months to come, putting pressure on the Durango and other large crossovers.
In this environment, the V-6 Durango's slight gas mileage disadvantage versus prime competitors may be reason enough for some people to cross it off their consideration list. That would be a shame, because the Durango does many things well.

Beyond Pink Slime
As you have probably heard by now, the food scandal "du jour" has to do with "pink slime", also known as mechanically-separated meat (or, when made by Beef Products Inc., "Boneless Beef Lean Trimmings").
This ammonia-treated scrap meat — the same one some fast food giants recently phased out — has been widely used since the early 1990s, is reportedly present in 70 percent of all ground beef products, and is a staple in school cafeterias (seven million pounds (!) are expected to be served in school lunches across the country over the next few months).
The story essentially writes itself. When fast food companies, infamous for cutting corners at any cost, turn their noses up at a questionably safe ingredient that ends up on the lunch trays of schoolchildren, headlines are to be expected — and rightfully so.
The meat industry has responded via a new website: the awkwardly-titled Pink Slime Is A Myth (I have yet to comprehend how something real and tangible can be labeled a myth).
While I do not dismiss the recent grassroots efforts that have gained significant strength via a petition to get pink slime out of school cafeterias, I worry that the focus on it detracts from bigger and more important food system issues, and provides the meat industry with a convenient distraction and an easily fixable problem that can effortlessly be spun into a public-relations success.

Dear New Year:
There are truths I hold to be self-evident. I like to eat dark chocolate at 3pm while I am at work trying not to go cross-eyed after countless hours in front of a computer. I still promise to eat my oatmeal and sneak spinach into my breakfasts.
I will stop saying "I'm almost thirty and…" and, instead, I will just spend the year being 29.
I'm going to go to my weight lifting class. Weekly. And it isn't because the instructor is a hot Australian that gives every command in a sweet Aussie accent. I think he shaves his legs. And that's the end of that.
I'll try to be more kind to my super sensitive tummy. But I am not going to give up Indian food. Learn to deal?
I'm going to be a better Aunt. Starting with sending handwritten letters. Even if my nephew is only 9 months old and can't read, but my niece is 9 years old and probably doesn't know what snail mail is.
I packed up two big boxes of things to donate (read: de-clutter the space a la Happiness Project), including the amazing Homer Simpson slippers my college friend gave me eight years ago. Sorry, Marisa!
Oh, and please don't tell anyone that in the twelve days since 2012 began, I've only eaten 3 home-cooked dinner meals (um, where have I been?), which means I'm measuring in at a weak 25% rate. I'm gonna do better. I even collected the ingredients to make a Mediterranean chickpea salad called Balela, pumpkin rice laksa soup, and Vietnamese noodles with sweet chili tofu. It's going to be good. There are vegetables involved.
And finally, my friend Jennie swears by the motto that if you love life, life will love you back. If loving life means having a foodie-gasm over a salted chocolate cookie while time….stops…count me in. I love you,
cookie life!
Let's take it slow. Be passionate. And put some spinach in our breakfasts.
With love (and optimism),

From the makers of Bowl Pants and Sock Spoon...
ThinkGeek merchant Mike Kochis had a dream. A dream that one day he could have a plate of food that sat on his chest while he played video games. He tried balancing normal plates, nestling them between his chin and belly, but alas, they would slip and slide and cause a mess. Putting a plate of food on the coffee table involved sitting up to reach it. Putting it on the couch worked, but often resulted in finding chips between the cushions weeks later. Then there was that time he licked pudding off his bare chest. (The UPS delivery guy will never be the same.)
But then, he found Shirt Plate.
Each Original Shirt Plate is made of high quality, unbreakable plastic. We ran it over with Willie's SUV and it didn't even get a scratch! The Original Shirt Plate attaches to a classic black cotton t-shirt using an ingenious system of washable hook and loop fasteners. This means you can eat the messiest foods with confidence, even while fully reclined!
In no time at all, the Original Shirt Plate will become your go-to gaming and grazing shirt. Load it up with your dinner or snacks, settle into your favorite recliner, and just tilt your head down to enjoy your food.

Monday saw the release of the eighth edition of Microsoft's Security Intelligence Report, a sizable examination of malware trends and software vulnerability data, covering the second half of 2009. The 248-page report makes interesting reading, and paints a detailed picture of the malware patterns seen around the world. It also contains information on the efficacy of various strategies to mitigate the malware problem.
The report, the first to include Windows 7 in its analysis, makes interesting reading. It shows that the security improvements that Microsoft has made in Windows Vista and Windows 7 appear to be working well, and that even though users are now tending to update the core operating system, applications (both first- and third-party) are often lagging behind, remaining unpatched for years.
The difference between Windows XP and its successors is substantial. Of exploits that work against Windows XP, a majority (59.2 percent) were attacks on Microsoft software, with the remainder targeted against third-party applications. On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the situation is markedly different: Microsoft-targeted attacks represented only 24.6 percent of attacks, with the rest being aimed at third-party applications.
In other words, there are strong indications that on the new OSes, there are fewer flaws within the OSes themselves, and those flaws are harder to successfully exploit. The result is that attackers are seeking softer targets, and commonly used third-party software is that target.
This is perhaps not a great surprise. Microsoft has worked hard both to detect security flaws in the development stage, thereby preventing them from ever reaching production, and to harden Windows against exploitation of those flaws that remain, with technologies such as DEP, ASLR, and the safe heap.
Easy pickings for attackers
The last of those is particularly important when one looks at the third-party software that's becoming the target of choice. The heap is a structure used by software to manage memory allocation. A common class of bugs arises from overwriting important parts of the heap, corrupting it in just such a way as to allow an attacker to run malicious code. The Windows heap contains a number of features to detect this corruption and crash the application if any corruption is found. Windows XP Service Pack 2 contained the first measures of this type, and they were strengthened further in Windows Vista.
Most successful Office document-based attacks could have been thwarted by attempting to update Office any time in the last 46 months.
These heap improvements are available to any third-party software that uses the standard Windows heap. Most applications do just that, and so gain the extra protection from being run on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3, or either of the post-XP platforms. One widely used application, however, does not: Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader has its own heap system, ostensibly to provide greater performance, but in so doing forfeits many of the security features built into the platform heap.
This combination of an insecure design and a massive installed base is probably the reason that Adobe Reader (in particular attacks against this now-patched flaw) represents the single most-attacked piece of software on Windows machines. The prevalence of such attacks, in spite of patch availability, suggests further that users are doing a poor job at downloading and installing updates in a timely manner.
Users tend to keep their operating systems more up-to-date than their applications. Windows Update is enabled and automatic by default, so even users who "do nothing" will receive OS updates. Microsoft's own applications can be updated through the optional Microsoft Update service, but many don't bother.
This makes attackers' jobs much easier. The most widespread attack against the Office suite, for example, exploits a Word 2000, Word XP, and Word 2003 flaw dating back to 2006, a flaw that has been patched for just short of four years. Though there are some attacks against more recent flaws, the rather alarming reality is that most successful Office document-based attacks could have been thwarted by attempting to update Office any time in the last 46 months.
The easiest way for end users to patch Microsoft software is to enable Microsoft Update. This extends Windows Update to also update Office, Exchange, SQL Server, and various other Microsoft products. Unlike Windows Update, it requires users to opt in; the good news is that they are increasingly choosing to do so. Similarly, corporations are increasingly choosing to use Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) to manage and roll out patches internally. The usage of both of these systems, Microsoft Update and WSUS, is increasing above and beyond the growth of Windows' installed base.
Third-party applications unfortunately lack this kind of unified update system. Though Microsoft does work with third-party vendors to notify them of vulnerabilities and assist in remedying them, at present the only third-party software distributed through the Windows Update/Microsoft update system is driver software. Third-party applications have no access to the infrastructure.
With third-party software increasingly responsible for system compromises, one wonders if Microsoft might alter this strategy. Just as Redmond tends to get the blame even for crashes of third-party software and drivers, Windows is similarly tarnished by exploitation that leverages third-party software. Improving the channels through which third-party software is updated would be a logical step to take.
Another data source Microsoft used in its report was its own Bing search engine. When Bing spiders a site's content, it also performs malware analysis, so that suitable warnings can be incorporated into search results. This data provides yet another reason to consider upgrading from Internet Explorer 6: drive-by exploits targeting Internet Explorer 6 outnumber those targeting Internet Explorer 7 by more than four to one. Corporations sticking with Internet Explorer 6 are putting themselves at much greater risk than they would be if they upgraded to version 7 or 8 of that browser.

Crabtree & Evelyn Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage Bath and Shower Gel
A modern interpretation of a classic style of scent, Crabtree & Evelyn Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus and Sage Bath and Shower Gel is inspired by the European tradition of citrus colognes that are ubiquitously used to fragrance the body from top to toe and even spritzed liberally throughout the home. The addition of Eucalyptus and Sage adds a bright, herbaceous twist that brings a contemporary edge. The blend of sparkling citrus with leafy green herbs is given just a touch of forest freshness with a hint of cedarwood and crushed patchouli leaves, wrapping the zesty herbaceous fruits in a sensuous embrace. The result is a clean, invigorating scent with universal appeal that subtly scents the skin and encourages an uplifting feeling of well-being.
Crabtree & Evelyn Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage Bath & Shower Gel (250ml) - Gently invigorates, refreshes, and conditions, while leaving the skin deeply cleansed. Best used by pouring into warm, running water for a refreshing foam bath, or smoothed over wet skin and massage into a fresh-scented lather.
