Listen, Obamaphiles!
Outrage at McCain's "lies" is a total loser strategy.
Katie Couric:
Some have suggested that you're capitalizing on this.
John Edwards:
Here's what I would say about that.
First of all, there's not a single person in America that should vote for me because Elizabeth has cancer. Not a one. ..[snip]But, I think every single candidate for president, Republican and Democratic have lives, personal lives, that indicate something about what kind of human being they are. And I think it is a fair evaluation for America to engage in to look at what kind of human beings each of us are, and what kind of president we'd make. [E.A.]
3. Relevance: If a politician is a great executive, thinker or diplomat who cheats on his brave, ill wife, you figure, "OK, We're not hiring him because of his sterling private behavior." If a politician whose chief appeal is his self-advertised loyalty to his brave, ill wife cheats on his brave ill wife, what's he good for again? And if Edwards' crucial talent as a public official is his ability to move people with tearjerky anecdotes, and those anecdotes (like the tale of his spousal loyalty, or the girl with no coat, or the anecdote that reportedly made John Kerry queasy about him)--turn out to be BS or half BS, that's more than random hypocrisy, It goes to the core of what he does and what he claims to offer. (I'd also argue that an emotional, anecdote-led liberal approach to poverty inevitably tends toward the failed solution of simply sending poor people cash welfare, but that's another argument.)
4. Irresponsibility: How irresponsible was it to seek the party's nomination knowing that this scandal was lurking around, ready to explode? What if he'd won? Are we sure it wouldn't have been discovered by the McCain campaign before November? Rock stars get to behave this badly because they're only rock stars. Worst that happens is the band breaks up. What if Edwards actually got elected--and then the scandal was discovered when he was in office? Did Democrats enjoy the Lewinsky years?
5. The Coverup:If the scandal is true, it almost certainly means that during the campaign Edwards presided over an elaborate coverup involving at least a) having an aide wrongly claim paternity and b) having other aides go out and lie to reporters. It probably also included payments of money to cooperating parties and various familiar slurs on the character of the 'other woman,' Rielle Hunter. All this would obviously be germane to Edwards' fitness to hold any office, including clerk at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Even if Edwards were to forswear all future public employment, there'd be an interest in documenting and publicizing his role in the coverup for the same reason we track down bank robbers 10 years after the crime--to deter others from pulling the same stunt in the future.
The only legitimate reason not to cover this scandal, it seems to me, is simple sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards--and I've gotten enough emails from anguished and angry members of the MSM to conclude, with Estrich, that it's the prime reason for the MSM blackout. True, I also suspect that if Mrs. Edwards were a conservative Republican, or even an unbeloved Democrat, the MSM might somehow find a way to overcome this compassionate sentiment. But that doesn't make it wrong. Reporters don't have to print everything. You could conclude that the need to protect Mrs. Edwards her children is so great, the karma of Enquiring so bad, that all of the obvious, public-interesty reasons for covering the story should be thrown out the window. And if John Edwards were already so damaged that in practice he'd never get a significant public office even if he wants one, I might agree (even if that meant sacrificing the deterrent effect of full exposure).
But that's a point that clearly hasn't been reached yet, at least not while most Americans are being kept in the dark about what, exactly, has led to Edwards' mysterious disappearance from the political oddsmakers' charts. A man arrogant and ambitious enough to think he can run for president posing as a loyal husband while keeping his second family secret, even as he visits his mistress in a famous hotel that is hosting a convention of journalists, will be arrogant and ambitious enough to keep hiding under the shield of his wife's illness until he can attempt a comeback-- if given the chance.
The alternative, it seems to me, is to let affection for Mrs. Edwards suck journalists into a Print-the-Legend world where they must spend their time burnishing--or at least accepting--the story powerful people and institutions want them to tell, the story of the wonderful Edwards marriage, rather than figuring out and telling readers the truth. If I wanted to be in that business I'd be a publicist.
P.S.: Emily Bazelon may have said all this more economically. See generally the vigorous debate on Slate's XX Factor.
**--For purposes of this item, I'm assuming we're reaching the next-to-final stage of the natural progression in cases like this: 1) Too horrible and shocking; it can't possibly be true; 2) It's not true; 3) You can't prove it's true; 4) Why are you trying to prove it's true? 5) It's disgusting that you've proved it's true; 6) What's the big deal anyway? ... 10:15 P.M. link

Fproduct Inc., is the showcase for creative director Fabrice Covelli's professional portfolio of housewares, furniture and furnishings, art fabrication, texture design and materials development.
Whether you are looking for fun 'n' funky accessories for the home, unique objets d'art, custom fixtures and/or textures for institutional, retail or commercial space, or one-of-a-kind installations, we invite you to explore this site.
Renowned Chef Marcus Samuelsson recently joined the American Table Café and Bar, which is located at the Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in Manhattan, NY. To mark the event, the architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) renovated the restaurant's interior and exterior.
Fproduct, Inc., in collaboration with DS+R, was commissioned to design and produce six outdoor cushions for the cafe's exterior stone plaza using Fproduct's innovative Gel Pal material. The rectangular silicone gel cushions have a slim vertical extension for stability and can comfortably accommodate two individuals. The vibrant orange color of the gel cushions also aesthetically complements the interior renovations, thus creating a visual link with the cafe.
(see project page)
Fproduct is pleased to announce the successful completion of a collaborative project with OMA - the design of the Milstein Hall, College of Architecture, Art and Planning (AAP), at Cornell University in Ithaca NY.
Fproduct helped to design and custom-build 21, illuminated exterior seating pods located prominently at the entrance of the Milstein Hall. The design of the light emitting exterior seating pods both complements the overall building design and provides an interactive component that students love to use. (see project page).
This soft sculpture serving bowl is the perfect centerpiece.
The Soft Pad cushion – paired here with a bar stool base – is a comfortable place to perch.
Sturdy, proud and playful, the Lollipop hook mounts just about anywhere.
The Body Buddy is a stylish mini-cushion and exercise pad you can take with you everywhere.
A unique material for countertops, work surfaces and vertical applications.

Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It enjoys swimming in a nearby pond.
And look! Its fins and tail have gotten bigger, and you've moved it to a larger body of water to swim in. It must be close to maturing.
Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.

Local DAR holds first meeting
The Yazoo Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution held the first meeting of the Chapter Year 2011-2012 at 2 p.m. Sept. 15, 2011 in the country home of Dr. and Mrs. Marion Sigrest.
This meeting was the occasion of the Annual Meeting of Yazoo Chapter. The meeting was called to order by Chapter Regent JoAnne Collins.
Following the Ritual, Pledge of Allegiance, American's Creed and Star Spangled Banner, the business meeting was conducted which included officer and committee reports. Dues were paid and Yearbooks passed out.
Members were reminded of Fall Pilgrimage dates, September 30 through October 14 and urged to choose a day to receive at Rosalie. Rosalie Day will be held at Rosalie October 26-27 and members were given information for registration.
Mrs. Collins thanked members for everything that was done to make our 9-11 event successful.
Janet Whittington, Wendy Cartwright and Priscilla Harper shared their experiences while at Continental Congress in June.
Mrs. Collins presented a program on the Dedication of the Chickasaw Warrior Statue which was held at Bacone College, Muskogee, Okla. this past May. Bacone College is one of the Indian schools which NSDAR supports.
Refreshments were served by hostesses Sarastelle Sigrest, Barbara McGrath and Janet Whittington and the meeting was adjourned.
The next meeting will be at 2 p.m. October 20 at Trinity Episcopal Church. Members are asked to bring items to pack boxes for soldiers and lap robes for the Veterans project.

Your main problem is that the motor gives maximum torque at low speed, which makes it difficult to control. Look at some of the threads about smoothing the throttle.
Haste wrote:casainho, what kind of battery are you using with the bpm?
Assuming the battery is located at the rear of the bike, you get a better weight distribution (as opposed to a typical front wheel drive).
Also, practically you get a two wheel drive (rear wheel pedaling and front wheel motor assistance). A two wheel drive is better for use on slippery surface because you get better handling (Just like a four wheel drive automobile). Another thing is that the front wheel motor assistance won't cause any unintended wheelies on sudden acceleration.
d8veh wrote:The KU93 is the controller you want - not the KU63. The KU63 is for a 250W motor and won't be powerful enough.

Wow. They have made some serious progress during recent 12 months. The price is great and the fact that these are specially made for 12mm axles is cool too. I hope they are at least 4mm stainless steel.
miuan wrote:I tried front/rear motor and rear battery. Even with worse balance, rear is still a winner. Just be careful not to wash the front wheel out in corners. Lean forward if you corner hard.

miuan wrote:motomech: I'm afraid you've got it all the other way round. Reality is, the lower the code number, the higher the speed. Actually, I'm pretty confident to say the code means number of copper turns, so assuming similar motor size to the MACs, the code 10 will be as fast as the 10 turn MAC etc. In my applications this has proven correct as I own and ride both of these motors.
More on the topic can be seen here:
The numbers don't exactly copy what BMSBattery indicates, but it's in the ballpark.
When purchasing from BMSBattery:
393 @ 36V = code 8
393 @ 48V = code 10 (mine does 40mph in 700c rim for short periods at 74V)
201 @ 36V = code 13 (a friend of mine runs it at 74V and 26in, does about 30mph)
201 @ 48V = code 17? (I've ordered this one for my dad, will be able to confirm soon)
I know BMSBattery could do a better explanation of different wind speeds, but most should get it easily. Hell, one year ago, they had no speeds indicated online, and I had to spend almost an hour to see which code designation is in stock. So it's a huge step forward (for the chinese fwiw).
Toby82 wrote:Hi Guys,
I just recieved my BPM motor from BMS Battery. I ordered the 36v 393 front motor. My motor code is 16(9). Having read this post prior to order I was expecting a code 8 motor. I emailed Bafang directly about the unloaded RPM of a code 16(9) motor and they responded with the following:
The unloaded RPM rating of motor code 16(9) at 36v is 330.
Any questions, please feel free to let me know.
I then emailed BMS battery to find out what their take on code 16(9) was and got the following response:
Hi sir,
The 393 is no-load RPM,and the 330 is normal RPM, thanks for your patronage.
I have now left the motor at my local bike mech to get laced into rim but when motor is returned I will test the unloaded RPM using a digital speed sensor I use at work for RPM calibration on test equipment. I'll then be able to confirm correct RPM rating.

There's this kid who gets bullied a lot by everyone. What should I do?
Hooray for the person who sent this question in to us! There are a lot more kids who witness bullying than there are victims of bullying. Often, people who see something happen are called bystanders. Wouldn't it be excellent if those bystanders would do something to help someone who's being bullied?
But how exactly do you find your courage and do it?
First, be sure to let an adult know what's going on. If it's happening at school, have a talk with a teacher or school counselor about it. If it happens at camp, the camp counselor is the one to talk to. Approach the adult and say you need to talk. Explain what's been going on the best you can. Give details. The adult can take steps to stop the bullying.
Plus, once they know about bullying, adults can do things to help the kid who's been bullied feel better and stronger. Adults can also help the kid who bullies learn to treat others with respect, friendship, and kindness.
After talking to an adult, here are some other things you can do. Be friendly to the kid who gets bullied. For example, say "hi" at the lockers or bus line, include that kid at your lunch table, or invite the kid to play at recess or to be in your group for a project. This helps for two reasons:
And when you see the bully acting mean, you can say, "Hey, knock it off, that's not cool," and invite the kid who's being picked on to walk away with you. You can just say, "C'mon, let's go." This can work even better if you get a couple of your friends to join you in standing up for the kid. Tell your friends ahead of time: "I'm going to stick up for that kid. Will you do it with me?"
Be sure to update the adult about what's going on until the problem is solved. This is also a very good thing to talk to parents about. Your parent will want to know about all this and can give you more advice and support. Plus, your mom or dad will be proud that you're the kind of kid who cares and who stands up for others and for what's right!
Bullying makes kids feel terrible — and not just the kid who's being bullied. Just seeing someone else be bullied makes others feel bad. That's because meanness affects everyone in the environment. It's like meanness pollution, so let's all fight it!

I love that song
Beautiful gay music
Based on the Bradbury short story "The Rocket Man," John and Taupin's 1972 classic features thematic elements that the writer addressed throughout his work, including the ways in which humans react to the isolation of space travel. "She packed my bags last night pre-flight," sings John, an echo of Bradbury's plot, in which an astronaut leaves his wife and son on Earth as he travels through outer space.
Wouldn't they have said 900 hours instead of 9am?

John and Allan were great, but I think think Allen needs to change he ADV name "Half Fast my ass" Felt bad for John he was on the cleanup duty for the ride and I know that had to just suck!! With 6 guys riding it was one thing after another and he had to stop for everything. His bike was acting up some and was a pain to get started for a few days and in that heat I know it was killing him. They did give us some great tips that helped a bunch, John had Scott riding good by the end of the trip. I just wish that Scott didn't have to get back to work and not able to keep riding but with 10 more days of pre riding I think that he will be good to go. With Ed and John doing the planning the sections we will ensure that he gets one that will not be over his head, and from what I have been told about Ed he will have us out running our sections until he thinks we are good to go on them. |

Team TCB Shake-Down / Baja 1000 pre-pre-ride notes - DAY 3
Hey folks...hope you're enjoying reading my daily reports as much I am re-telling them
I'm back at work now and won't wait as long to type out Day 4 and Day 5 reports. I'll have a lot more time. Without further adieu, here's Day 3...with lots of pictures below. If you read the end of Day 2's report, you'd know that getting out of the top bunk without flashing my junk to the world was challenging. I woke up and laid there for a pretty long time thinking about my game plan. I eventually decided to lay there until everyone was out of the room. The coast was clear and I hopped out of bed to start the day. Everyone is moving slow packing up their gear. Everything is wet and nasty. It smells like rotten feet in the room. Everything is just slimey. I walk outside to air out my gear and look at the ocean for a minute or two. It was really beautiful. As I'm on my way inside, John passes by and whispers, "Make fun of Allan's girl shoes." John mumbles the same thing to Brett when he passed him. Seriously…Allan…it's time to get rid of those shoes. We all had fun at Allan's expense for a while. Note: once the room has you zeroed and everyone is firing for effect, all you can do is laugh and stop defending your choice in footwear. (See picture below) You're not a 'fashonista'…hahaha After we get geared up, I tag The Barefoot Bar with a WWP sticker. I'm sad to leave this place but I know today was going to be equally as amazing. We take a few team pictures with Lulu and some more with her other guests (kids). The kids loved it! They were all smiles. They were way excited to sit on Elvis. I know exactly how they feel…because I feel the exact same way when I get on my bike. But I gotta play it cool… From Coyote Cal's we cruised south along the coast line. Allan or John can give you exact locations or distances. I think this morning's ride was the first time when things (not everything and especially not jumps) started to 'click' for me. I was going a lot faster and I was using a lot less energy controlling the bike. I studied my GoPro footage and I can tell that I'm definitely 'getting it'. Picking better lines and falling exponentially less. Hmmm...maybe I won't get run over in the Baja 1000. The first half of the morning was extremely foggy. It was really cool though. Not a soul in sight. Wide open spaces. Dirt roads as far as you can see. Ocean to my right. Mountains to my left. And a full day of riding ahead of us. Riding that morning was one of those moments where you realize that you're making a lifelong memory…remembering every rock and every turn with precision detail. Some memories are in black and white, kinda vague, and you only really can recall the major details. But that morning after we left Coyote Cal's…that memory is burned in my mind in Dolby Surround Sound Technicolor! It was such a cool ride. A ride I'll never forget. After a few hours of fog, we rode into clear skies....and it was nothing but throttle and smiles. This was where I found 6th gear a few times. I'm liking this more and more. Allan took us to the Shipwreck and we snapped a few touristy pictures. Then we were off to the Pirate Bar. Somewhere before the Pirate Bar I pass John who is stopped by the side of the road coming out of the bushes. He's got a lot of junk in his hands…to include baby wipes. I figured he need to make an emergency class 2 download. Ten seconds later Randy passes me going 100mph in the opposite direction - right at me. It turns out that Randy's Moose tail fender bag ripped open at the base and he lost everything. He was oblivious that it was flapping in the wind…Allan saw it and said it looked like Pac-Man chomping away at nothing. After we delt with Pac-Man, we ate some more road side tacos. Fantastic! That's all I can say. We stopped at the Pirate bar for about an hour. Sat outside by the ocean and cooled off. What an amazing view. I know that I fell once before the Pirate Bar only because I have a picture of a bush stuck in my boot. Thanks for pointing that our Brett. But the only fall I can remember that day was after the Pirate Bar. It was a good one. My big fall of the day was from inexperience…Chris's big fall of the day was from glorious arrogance. Chris decided to jump a nicely groomed sand hill next to the ocean. He said he thought it looked like a "perfect jump". It was a good 10' tall steep sand hill that paralleled the cliffs. Little did he know that there was a 30' sheer cliff into the ocean with no landing on the other side. While he was about to get airborne, he saw what was on the other side. Luckily he was able to immediately dump the bike. He saved it from taking a dip in the ocean and a breaking his own neck. He did, however, break his gas cap vent in the crash. No worries….Chris mixed up some JB Weld on his fender and was soon good to go. On to my big crash…we were in deep deep sand. But luckily there were no cliffs though. Now, I'm doing it right I think. Weight back and steering with my feet. Lots of throttle. I don't know how fast I was going but I felt like I was going fast. There was a 1' lip on the side of the trail…sort of acting like a curb. And when the bike hit that lip, I went flying over the handle bars. The bike stopped and I didn't. Holy crap I flew far. After I land and realize I'm not hurt, I turn my GoPro on to show how far I flew. Brett and Vera got a good laugh at my expense watching that video back at Brett's house. Brett said he saw a flash of orange (KTM) and then a "mushroom cloud" of sand. Shortly after we re-grouped I earned the nickname, "Baja Basketball". Because I hit the ground more times than a professional basketball. Thanks Brett and Allan... We ended the day at "The Old Mill" hostel and the owner greeted us with an ice cold Pacifico. It's tradition to greet patrons with an ice cold beer I guess. Not a bad business practice at all. Allan was still having bike issues and decided to take his carb apart in the parking lot. I wanted to be useful and help-out….so I went to the bar and came back with 6 fresh beers. Never tasted so good. I took my beer upstairs and removed my boots. I knew my feet were messed up but didn't realize how badly. Now…I've spent 4 years in Ranger Battalion, made 5 trips to combat, walked hundreds and hundreds of miles with monster ruck sacks, rotted away in Ranger School for 5 months…and my feet have never been as jacked-up as they were that evening. From that day on, I aired my feet out when I could. Lesson learned. There was a giant wedding party next to the Old Mil. It was at the adjacent bar lawn area and they had a HUGE circus tent. I couldn't tell if they were just breaking it down or if they were setting it up. A lot of things were being moved around and it was getting dark. There's no way there would be a wedding starting so late. Hey just taking a survey…who starts a wedding at midnight? Just wondering?? They did. The band didn't stop playing until 3 or 4am. Between everyone snoring and the mariachi music blasting in my ears, I didn't sleep too much. Turns out no one did. Day 3 was over and I was still alive. As I laid in bed listening to mariachi music, I was wondering what adventures day 4 would bring. I was a little more bruised and battered…but now solidly in love with Baja. Day 3 morning...Allan's not so masculine shoes. haha Saying goodbye to Lulu at Coyote Cal's. Wonder if she wants a sponsor... The kids love this as much as I do. Tagging the Barefoot Bar on our way out with a Wounded Warrior Project sticker. After a few hours in the saddle heading south. Fog, ocean, mountain, ruts, whoops, oh my. More roadside tacos for Team TCB. Still 1,000 degrees here. The trail went down a steep hill. Amazing view after we rode out of the fog. Me and John (Turbo Donkey) at the shipwreck. Elvis on the beach right before the Pirate Bar. Pirate Bar...should of taken that time to air out my feet. What a view. Allan taking his carb apart. Not sure if he ever fixed it. Chris...um...couldn't resist Allan's shoes. He said they were lovely. My day 3 feet. I couldn't end this new thread with my nasty feet picture. So here's my dinner. Damn I love Mexican food. And thanks Taco Lu's for the water koozie!

Scott's first jump dialog and montage of my crashes
Ok folks - I thought I'd make a montage video of all of my crashes. I think my riding got better and better each day. These crashes are not an accurate representation of my riding skills. However...Allan said, "What skills?" hahaha Enjoy.
I included every crash I had on my GoPro of everyone else. Brett falls first... On day 4 of our shake down ride we hit this table-top 'jump'. That night over some beers I re-told the story of 'my first jump' !!WARNING!! Strong language!! If you're offended by strong language please do not watch.

Hey Andy,
I got to see all that in front of me. It is much funnier seeing it on camera though. I have to admit that I was a little worried myself at first. Scott improved greatly as the week went on. He is going to do fine. He will be riding the easier sections. -John

DMA Applauds Postal Service's New Cost-Cutting ProposalsAugust 12, 2011 The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) applauds Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe for proposing new cost-cutting ideas for the US Postal Service (USPS) for Congress and the postal community to examine. To return to financial stability, the Postal Service has stated that it is seeking legislative changes to allow for network and workforce adjustments. The Postal Service faces imminent insolvency due to declining mail volume. Insolvency of the USPS will harm the $1 trillion "mail" segment of our nation's economy and the millions of jobs it supports. Mailers can no longer fund the excess capacity in the USPS network and its corresponding employee complement through postage. USPS must right-size its network to match the new reality of lower mail volume. Every effort to bring the postal service back from the brink of insolvency must be examined, said Jerry Cerasale, DMAs senior vice president of government affairs. We applaud the Postmaster General for expanding that dialogue. Get Social with DMA Join us on Facebook About Direct Marketing Association (DMA) The Direct Marketing Association (www.the-dma.org) is the leading global trade association of businesses and nonprofit organizations using and supporting multichannel direct marketing tools and techniques.

31 year old Rudy Eugene has been identified as the cannibal in this bizarre case. It's been revealed that he has a criminal record, though most of the charges are considered to be petty. He later lost his home in foreclosure & even showed up at the home, while it was owned by new tenants, looking for mail. Rudy's ex wife told a local news agency the following:
"I wouldn't say he had mental problems, but he always felt like people was against him. No one was for him, everyone was against him."
Eyewitness to the situation Larry Vega has given a pretty detailed account of what happened:
"The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, 'Get off!' The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin." When an officer on the scene yelled at Eugene to back away from the victim, Vega also said "the naked man merely raised his head 'with pieces of flesh in his mouth,' growled, and began chewing again."
The officer on the scene fired one shot only for it to apparently have no effect, as Eugene was still chewing on the man's face. After multiple shots, Eugene was killed but his victim was in grave condition. Armando Aguilar of the Miami FOP has said, regarding the victim, "Seventy-five to 80 percent of his face was missing. He was actually swallowing pieces of the man's face."
Police are asking any potential witnesses to step forward regarding the attack & to call 305-603-6350 to report any further details to help them out in this bizarre case.

Mandela, South African leader and icon of peace, dies at 95
Nelson Mandela was a master of forgiveness.
- Dec. 5, 2013
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Nelson Mandela was a master of forgiveness.
Mandela's fortitude and his eventual support for peaceful co-existence with whites earned him the respect of many.
Nelson Mandela, whose successful struggle against South Africa's apartheid system of racial segregation and discrimination made him a global symbol for the cause of human rights and earned him the Nobel Prize, died today. He was 95.
Other former presidents also paid tribute to the late world leader.
It is hard to think of any person political, cultural or otherwise of the past 25 years who inspires such universal admiration as Nelson Mandela. We seldom associate him with sports.
During extended visits to South Africa in each of the past four years, every person I met no matter race or ethnicity spoke reverentially of Nelson Mandela as the father of a new, better South Africa.
Rep. Maxine Waters says being in the presence of Nelson Mandela nearly rendered her speechless.
Mandela's fortitude and his eventual support for peaceful co-existence with whites earned him the respect of many.
Recordings of 911 calls from last year's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting were released Wednesday, and they paint a picture of town dispatchers mobilizing help, reassuring callers and urging them to take cover.
In what was supposed to be a warm reunion, Vice President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping meet instead Wednesday in a climate fraught with tension over an airspace dispute that has put Asia on edge.
A New York City commuter train rounding a riverside curve derailed Sunday, killing four people, injuring more than 60 and sending a chain of toppled cars trailing off the track just inches from the water, authorities said.

Good Product - Good Price
By GwensGems
from VICTORIA
I purchased 2 of these and they have been a God send. Ergonomically designed to be easy to hold and not slip. I have saucepans that I love except that they have metal handles on the lids. Since getting these pads I have saved myself a lot of discomfort. I was using cloth pads and they were still very hot to handle. The price can't be beat.

Comments about Logitech® Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad® Tablets:
This Logitech aluminum-backed keyboard/case is the strongest protection you can get for your iPad, as well as providing a Bluetooth keyboard with "office-like" keys. You then see the whole screen without the virtual keyboard taking up most of the space. When you have finished using it, simply separate the two pieces and set the keyboard face down on top of the iPad. It magnetically clicks in with a strip like a Smart Cover. It looks great, all wrapped in aluminum, and I feel safe taking my iPad with me everywhere. The only other change I made was to purchase a nice snug-fitting leather sleeve for the combo. The back of the iPad and the keyboard keep from getting marked or dented in my purse or briefcase, and the aluminum covers look as good as they day they were purchased. Every time I use it, someone asks where I got the great keyboard/cover. This is my second iPad, and of all the keyboards and covers I have tried, this is most assuredly the best, in terms of quality, protection and style.

Rated 3.6 out of 5Â by 8
Rated 3 out of 5Â by BexAdcox Good for the Sale Price
These have an odd fit, with a too-low waist band in the back and a back/bottom portion that doesn't fit my behind snugly. You want a conforming fit when you're running to prevent chaffing or rubbing, but I find that these don't fit in the crotch area very well either. I found myself tugging at the top waistband area to pull them up and try to keep them from bunching. This could just be my body shape; maybe they would work better for someone with a flatter behind and wider space between her legs. The rest of the features are all good. Good stretch, good cling, good wicking, nice appearence. The key pocket doesn't seem trustworthy to me (no closure).

These are great lightweight tights. Perfect for the inbetween temperatures of spring/fall. The material is thick enough to offer coverage without being bulky or too hot and the fabric and fit is very flattering. They fit true to the adidas size guide and were a perfect length for me (I'm 5'4").

I bought the Techfit tights with the Techfit tank...both in an L size...the tights fit perfectly, the tank seems a bit larger so hangs lose around...so probably they could either loosen up the make of the tights or else streamline the fit of the tank...am happy with the quality of both though..

| Posted by Keith B. | (Walnut Creek, CA)I gave these to my wife for her new BMW 650i convertible. Upon opening the box, she was disappointed at the appearance. She wanted the WeatherTech mats. After examining them more closely and installing them, she absolutely loved them. Because they are clear, they let the beauty of the new carpeted BMW mats show through. She loves that they stay in place and fit perfectly.

| Posted by Terrance B. | (Dumfries, VA)The BMW 6 Series is the cease del la creme of the two coupes available from BMW. It is a vehicle that is not extremely popular and you certainly need not concern yourself with confusing your vehicle with another unless you are at a BMW dealership. My vehicle has always been characterized as uniquely designed with its deep blue color and crimson interior. Adding custom floor mats was long overdo but once I did, it simply enhanced the vehicle. These are not simply cosmetic additions but they are extremely comfortable to the feet and are akin to regular carpeting. It adds excellence to a truly high profile vehicle. I spoke with my dealer about the product and it would not surprise me to learn that some of the sales professionals will be referring buyers, particularly Series 6 buyers. The bottom line - this is a quality product line that makes the vehicle more stunning and attractive, and the envy of others on the road. I highly recommend choosing a custom monogram to really set them apart.

| Posted by Barry H. | (Point Roberts, WA)After becoming frustrated with premature wear on my factory floor mats from BMW for my 1999 M3 I decided to try these. They are cut to the exact width of the original carpet one and extend about 6 inches closer to the front seats which provides more protection. The instructions say to remove the original mats and replace with these however I found that it doesn't matter either way. They are opaque so the entire color of the carpet underneath does not show but you can tell black from beige.

Jayne Dew makes history
Editor & Publisher
Jayne Dew made history Tuesday night as she became the first female elected supervisor in Yazoo County.
Dew defeated David Shipp 566-454 in a runoff election to fill the seat that her late husband, Ed Dew, occupied for 20 years until he died in February.
"Someone mentioned that I had made history by being the first woman elected supervisor, and I had forgotten about that," she said. "I don't think it has sunk in yet."
