[at home with the farmer's wife] I quick check at the dreamy high-end kitchen shop reveals that the Mercedes of Mandolines is $169.95! I certainly don't have that kind of coin but honestly I prefer the old school basic tools.

[Charles Bremner - Times Online - WBLG] Charles Bremner - Times Online - WBLG: Citroen tries to revive ...: I didn't believe my ears when I heard that Citroen would be reviving the DS brand for a family of premium models set to rival BMW, Mercedes and Audi. This then will be yet another misguided attempt by French carmakers to conquer a market segment which is dominated by the Germans and where they have spectacularly failed to compete up to now, Renault with the curious Avantime and quirky Velsatis, PSA with the boring Peugeot 607 and ministerial Citroen C6.
[Trouser Press] TrouserPress.com :: Beck: In collaboration with the Dust Brothers, Beck repositions the bluesy hip-hop shtick of "Loser" for the preferential treatment of an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink attack that complements his curious poesy with layers of samples, distortion and mid-song freak-outs. Paul's Boutique (another Dust-directed endeavor) is a possible musical peer, but Beck's flat vocals and affection for the occasional guitar-derived groove make Odelay sui generis.
[GM FastLane] The Sun Keeps Coming Up | GM FastLane: word(Lacross,Lesabre,and now Lucerne)confusing?….I think the Lacross should be relabeled as Rivera(include a 2 door version).The Lesabre unchanged and the Lucerne name dropped and replaced with Lacross(A new RWD sport version could be called Wildcat as it has the Northstar powertrain system).The 3800 engine is one of the 2 best powertrains ever devised for GM passenger cars, next to the 327.Has it been tried or if possible try to add another 2 cylinders onto the 3800?.Could the displacement of the existing 3800 be modified to provide a standard 285HP.?If not maybe a 5.7 litre setup would be appropriate for the larger luxury/sport cars.Build on the experiences from Saturn SSM, thanks,best wishes and may the sun continue to shine on this organization in the future.

And to his amazement, this site is giving away the fore mentioned Dark Coffee Brown Explorer’s Satchel from Saddleback Leather Company.
[THE INTELLIGENT SINGAPOREAN] Daily Reads Oct 21 - Wee Shu-Min « THE INTELLIGENT SINGAPOREAN: Getting it historically wrong simply means the human race will increasingly disregard real values, philosophies and even such a thing a relationships, but instead seek solace in the powerful opium technology offers in the form of TV, pop culture, and the endless pursuit of gadgetry, even though these narcotics are addictive in the long run only to exacerbated the ills of society. The more widespread the usage of these narcotics, the more socially acceptable their use, till we will physically stop seeing it - thats what happens when we dont care to understand our history against the broader history of others - thats what happens when the compact between society and history is abrogated - it becomes slightly shakier, its never entirely stable and this is where the pain of not really knowing who you or who they really are comes in, it grows dimmer and darker.
[GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt Concept Site] Give Your Direct Input to GM's Volt Engineering Team on Vehicle ...: If this is an electric car, and an environmentally sane option, I think a large chunk of your market are rejecting a lot of the gadgetry and consumerism that goes with it. A monitor for hours on engine/battery sounds a wise option and necessary one. In all other matters, though, more gadgets means more material produced, means more waste.
