FACTS & STATS: Site: Breslin Center (14,797) -- East Lansing, Michigan. Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: Louisiana 2-0, Michigan State 3-0. Away Record: Louisiana 0-3, Michigan State 0-0. Neutral Record: Louisiana 0-0, Michigan State 1-1. Conference Record: Louisiana 0-0, Michigan State 0-0. Series Record: Series tied, 1-1.
GAME NOTES: The No. 15 Michigan State Spartans will try to take down their 67th unranked non-conference opponent in a row when they host the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns at the Breslin Center.
The Ragin' Cajuns fell to 2-3 their last time out as they suffered a 22-point setback to New Mexico State. Their only win over a Division I opponent came in their season-opening bout with Oakland (90-79). Louisiana then went on a two- game slide which consisted of a couple of hard-fought setbacks at Texas Southern (74-71 OT) and Boise State (63-57). The streak ended with a win over Southern-New Orleans, but the team could not string together wins. Bob Marlin, now 32-34 in his third year at Louisiana.
The amount of success Tom Izzo has found as Michigan State's coach over the past 17 seasons is rivaled by very few. His Spartans always seem to be a contender to win the NCAA Championship, and this year is no different. Although MSU opened up the season with a 66-62 loss to the now Kevin Ollie led Connecticut Huskies, it bounced back with a three-point win over a top ten Kansas Jayhawks team. Then the team reeled off three wins in a row in the Spartan Showcase at Breslin, all versus unranked non-conference foes. The Spartans easily cruised past Texas Southern and Oakland, but narrowly survived their matchup with Boise State (74-70) after converting just 6-of-19 attempts from beyond the arc and 16-of-25 at the charity stripe.
The all-time series between Michigan State and Louisiana is tied with each team winning once. These teams have not squared off since 1982.
Louisiana fell behind 10-0 to NMSU its last time out and could never erase the deficit. The Cajuns shot just 18.5 percent from the floor in the first half and was dominated on the glass by a 52-30 margin. Mississippi State transfer Shawn Long has become the centerpiece of the team in his first year with the program. The 6-foot-9, 243-pound power forward paces the squad with 15 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game. Sophomore point guard Elfrid Payton adds 10.8 points and 5.2 assists per contest, but he is not going to be settling for too many jumpers (37.7 FG). Brant Mbamalu is a consistent third scoring option.
Michigan State's high level of competition early on has given it a scoring average of 68.4 ppg on 48.5 percent shooting from the field. The team is just 19-of-70 from three-point range, which could lead the trouble down the road if not improved. However, Michigan State has outrebounded all of its opponents, which are netting only 58.6 ppg. The Spartans are charged by junior point guard Keith Appling, who is posting a team-high 16.4 ppg while dishing out four apg. The team is 5-1 in games he scores 20 points or more. While the highly talented freshman guard Gary Harris recovers from a shoulder injury, Branden Dawson (11.2 ppg) and Denzel Valentine (6.8 ppg) will need to play bigger roles. Senior center Derrick Nix is a big reason why MSU dominates the glass as he is grabbing 8.2 rpg.
The Cajuns' inability to compete in the rebounding battle with New Mexico State is a bad sign heading into his one. Michigan State is very rarely upset as its coach is one of the best at what he does. The Spartans should cruise to an easy win as they hold the advantage in nearly every aspect of this matchup.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Michigan State 83, Louisiana 62

VIDEO: Sony Ericsson reveals rubbish Vivaz vid
It seems the message from Sony Ericsson is that the new Vivaz is the cameraphone for you if you're a YouTube-obsessed menace.
The promo clip above appears to position the mobile as the ideal to film members of the public unawares, capture those times when someone starts busting some break-dancing moves on a zebra crossing right in front of you or perfect to scare the crap out of your mates by making them think they are being filmed by a mad stalker.
Who knows? Maybe it could work with today's yoof. After the Aino, Satio and Xperia X2 disasters of late, Sony Ericsson hasn't got much to lose.

Inspiration of the Day: Festive Garlands
Streamers are the universal party symbol, so to create a fun festive vibe at a wedding in Napa, Alison Hotchkiss, founder of Alison Event Planning and Design created a chic and sophisticated lounge area by hanging lots of pretty red garlands. We're not talking about birthday party paper streamers: The key to pulling off the garland look is to go monochromatic and then to mix up the texture and style. (We did a little looking around and found some really cool garlands at Etsy Shop A Fete Beckons or you could DIY something similar.) To finish off the design and pull the room together, Alison and her team added bright red bean bags and rustic Parisian chairs. So fun!

Since the advent of the medium, advertising has been an integral part of television, often ranking as high or higher in importance and memorability as the actual programming itself. For non-sports aficionados, the commercials are often as big an attraction of the Super Bowl as the game itself, and often remembered years later, long after the actual teams that played are only remembered by die-hard fans, or looked up on Google.

Pay a visit to European castles and Gothic cathedrals that were built during the Middle Ages and you will see classic gargoyles glaring down from the ramparts. However, advances in resin garden statues have made it possible to put the same types of fantastic gargoyle garden statues on display right in your own backyard. They also make excellent gifts for anyone who appreciates unique garden decor but we should always try to pick out the most appropriate gargoyle statue for that lucky person.
To pick out the best gargoyle gift, start out by thinking about the garden where it will be put on display. If the person in question has garden gnomes and other cute statues, the Picc-a-Dilly Gargoyle Sculptures Set will look right at home. These super cute gargoyles will look even better in a garden adorned with the eye-catching Babble, The Gothic Gargoyle Statue.
If the lucky recipient of a gargoyle gift happens to enjoy Gothic decor, there is a very good chance that they already have a gargoyle or two. Take a look in their garden to see if they already have something classic like the Cathedral Gargoyle Statue or a fantastic, frightening beast like Scatheus, Guardian of the Shadows Gargoyle Sculpture.
Keep in mind that no matter which gargoyle you go with, when you buy that high quality statue from Design Toscano, it's going to look fantastic.

text: After the Party - The Legacy of Celebration Date For details of opening times please visit http://www.test.com/Everyone likes a good party and the Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Games in 2012 have given the UK plenty of opportunity for celebration. Thanks particularly to the Olympics it has a new set of buildings and public spaces. But how will they fare after the party is over? The pre-planned legacy of the Games was a key factor in London's winning bid. But can legacy really be predicted or planned? And is a legacy sometimes much more significant than the event itself? Drawing on the RIBA's unique collections, this exhibition explores these questions by considering how past celebratory events – victories, national expositions, anniversaries and previous Olympics – led to the creation of some of the most extraordinary structures ever built. The legacies of many of these were not only architectural but also social, economic, cultural and technological. Some had lasting urban impact, transforming entire cities, while others provide more cautionary tales. Watch a short film on the RIBA's London 2012 inspired exhibitions.Fees:Free admissionBooking:Contact:Admission to all RIBA exhibitions is free.

From Barnes & Noble
Daniel Kahneman won his Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, but it should surprise no one that his first book on cognitive processes has been eagerly awaited for years. Dr. Kahneman was awarded for his Nobel for his seminal work in psychology that challenged the rational model of judgment and decision-making. Steven Pinker, no slouch himself, called him "one of the most influential psychologists in history and certainly the most important psychologist alive today." In this book, Kahneman describes the "machinery of the mind," the two mental systems, one fast and the other slow, that determine our choices and shape our impressions. A breakthrough approach that is both practical and enlightening. A critically acclaimed bestseller; now in trade paperback and NOOK Book.

Can't wait? Consider one of the other Men's Mountain Bike Saddles we have in stock.
WTB Rocket V Team Saddle $0.00
It's dramatic.
The WTB Rocket V Team is nearly identical to the top-of-the-line SLT version. It uses the same titanium rails as the SLT to keep it trim, but it features a synthetic cover instead of leather to trim a few extra bucks off the bottom line. The Rocket V Team is available in Black and White. Both versions feature black diamond corner material for durability. Dimensions for the Rocket V Team are 127mm x 258mm. 225 grams.

Silly that in the tech specs they say it's leather and then clearly state that it's synthetic. wtf?

Hey Filippo,
Thanks for pointing out this content mistake. This is a synthetic saddle and does not use any leather. We have filed to correct the tech specs so hopefully that will be updated to reflect the correct material soon. Let us know if you need help finding a saddle that fits your needs.
Awesome Customer Service
I already have this saddle and for the weight, price, and comfort you can't beat it. I ordered one to replace the stock saddle on my new 29er and UPS lost it. One call to Backcountry and a replacement is on the way. Excellent customer service.

National Women's Hall of Fame to induct jockey Julie Krone
ENCINITAS Julie Krone asked for a moment as she figured out how to balance herself on the crooked stump of an acacia tree for photographs at the Winstar Ranch in Encinitas. Laughing with her signature chirps and channeling her inner child and jockey, it was as if Krone was back in Michigan again, proving she could stand on a horse and fly like the wind.
Krone, who lives in Carlsbad with her husband, Eclipse Award-winning Daily Racing Form columnist Jay Hovdey, and their daughter, Lorelei Judith, is the winningest woman jockey of all-time. She's a member of the Horse Racing Hall of Fame, the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame and the U.S. Cowgirl Hall of Fame. But come October, Krone will be inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, N.Y., birthplace of the American Women's Rights movement. The group's mission is "Showcasing great women . . . inspiring all."
Krone, 49, joins 247 women from a wide spectrum of impressive backgrounds, all of whom made significant contributions to society. Past inductees include sharpshooter Annie Oakley, pioneer aviator Amelia Earhart and first woman astronaut Sally Ride. The list also includes some of the country's greatest women athletes and competitors like Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias, a track and field star and outstanding pro golfer who founded the LPGA and tennis great Billie Jean King.
"When I got the invitation in the mail, I thought maybe they made a mistake," Krone said in typical self-effacing humor. "To be honored by the Racing Hall of Fame, that's my peers saying I deserved it. But when the nation puts you alongside women who have done some remarkable things like these women, I'm still in awe over it."
Krone said the induction notice couldn't have come at a better time in her life.
"It's great timing because I'm getting ready to come out with what I've been learning with my horses, Natural Horsemanship," she said. "I want to start talking to large groups as a motivational speaker, so the timing of all this is just bizarre."
Krone has battled depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder since leaving the adrenaline junkie game of thoroughbred racing.
"The moments with the thoroughbred gave me back my life force," she said.
She has terrible flashbacks from major spills, the last of which in December 2003 at Hollywood Park forced her to retire after she suffered a broken back. From 1981 to 2004 she rode in 21,411 races, winning 3,704 and $90,125,088 in earnings.
"Julie Krone is the best female jockey who ever rode," said fellow Hall of Fame jockey Steve Cauthen, the last jockey to win the Triple Crown, on Affirmed. "I think a lot of it was her mentality. She was mentally tough in a race. She didn't give an inch. She fought for her position. She had a great style. She was strong. She was naturally the right size and I think that she rode like guys. You didn't want to get in her way. You didn't want to force your way on the inside of her because she made sure you didn't get through."

I definitely did not want anything with glass again, Just too hard to keep clean and not very durable for my active little guy. I wasn't really sold on cushions or anything that involved fabric. The elements just kill them and we are not very good 'put your cushions away every night' kind of people. Not to mention the price of replacing cushions now-a-days costs just as much as purchasing a new set.
I wanted tough, sturdy, durable and something I could take a hose to at the end of a party and call it a night. I searched for three straight months changing my mind every week until my husband came to the rescue again {I will not say for sure, but a little persuasion and bargaining may have been involved}
We ended up with three 40X40 bar height tables and stools all made from scratch. It took approximately two weekends to complete and I can honestly say a lot easier than then it originally looks. Build plans are kind of intimidating but if you follow them step by step and have the right tools you can make these too!
I'll be posting the plans and build details of the bar tables and stools in a separate post shortly.
There is still quite a bit left on our to-do for the space, I am just so excited to see it starting to come together. I am so proud of my hard working hubby. {I'm so grateful for many things} Thanks for letting me share this space. Enjoy!

Thats what gives. Anything and everything that you are seeing in the WWE has no fan input what so ever! Not even the slammy awards. Nothing gets past creative not even the voting system they have with twitter and all the other bull@#!@ things they come up with to include the fans. Fans are NEVER interacting with decisions made by higher ups in this company its way to obvious. There are way to many gaps in between that we don't know about when it comes to including the fans on match making, or anyother decisions that are made with storylines, its the WWE, 'E' meaning Entertainment.
people have to stop buying into this " its you the fans who get to decide BS " because its not!!! Its fake people....FAKE!!! oh by the way im not flamming you or anything just saying don't believe any of what the WWE or any pro wrestling organization has to say or do when it comes to including fans because at the end of the day they see fit how they run the company not you or me.

Coordinator's Corner: Haley & LeBeauPosted by on December 13, 2012 – 6:30 pm
Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley
Re: G David DeCastro's progression:
I think it's been a great story, other than the negative of getting hurt. The fact that the new rule was made kind of kept him alive, gave him something to work for and a goal. We didn't know for sure whether he'd be able to make it back or not. It was a testament to him and the trainers for the hard work that he put in for a chunk of the season. To even get in a position to get out on the field, I think is terrific. Now that he's been out here, I think every week he's done a good job and got more and more comfortable with is feet under him and practicing football. We had pads on yesterday which was good, and he's passed every test, so to speak.
Re: OT Max Starks' impact and him being a rock on the offensive line this season:
Don't jinx him. He's been the rock for us over there. He's got a great test this week against the rushers we're going to see in DeMarcus [Ware] and Anthony [Spencer], and everybody they bring at you. Max has been a great re-addition for this team and for the offense. Now, we just have to get him ready to play his best game.
How did QB Ben Roethlisberger play on Sunday? Was there any rust he needed to knock off?
I think early on we knew that it was going to take him a little bit to get into the game, and I thought in the second half, we all felt comfortable that he was back to speed. It's unfortunate we were in the situation we were in, but he had to get back out there and get back into it like everybody does when they've been out for a chunk of time. The good thing is he made it through with no setbacks. He's having another good week of practice, and I expect him to be ready to go.
How did you feel about Roethlisberger scrambling and running the ball?
Once he was given a clean bill of health, we all felt good about that. I think it was more, for us as coaches, just getting him back into the speed of the game.
Have you ever had a situation where you have two rookies on one side of the offensive line with so little experience this late in the season?
I'd have to go back and look through the seasons but we've been in some pretty sticky situations. That's kind of how this year has been for this group. I think it's served us well in that we haven't always performed the way that we'd like or up to our abilities. I do think that when some of the adversity that we've had to face through some of these injuries and changing, moving parts, that it's forced the guys to become extra cohesive and look out for their own. We have to be ready, and this is a big game for us. It's on the road against a team that has some premier pass rush guys. They know they need each other right now, and they've learned that over the year. It's time to stick together and make good things happen.
What did you like from OT Kelvin Beachum coming out of training camp?
I think we were all excited from the start. We were excited when we drafted him and were able to get him where we did. You only have so many picks, and you've got a long list of guys that you'd love to have on the team, and he was one of them. When he was there and we were able to get him, I can remember clearly on draft day that there was some fist-pumping and high-fiving because we were able to get another guy that we wanted. He hasn't disappointed. He's a hard-working, nose to the grindstone type of kid that you don't hear much out of, and he got his opportunity to play. He's done a commendable job. He needs to get better like everybody else, but for a young guy being thrown to the wolves, he's done a good job. He'll be facing the ultimate test this week. Just like I said, these guys rushing outside in Dallas are the real deal.
If DeCastro hadn't gotten hurt, would it have been close whether Beachum would have made the team?
That's ancient history at this point. He's somebody that's done a good job from day one. Usually those guys that you know have a chance to make it and play, you find a way to keep them around one way or another.
Re: Having two rookies on the offensive line this week:
That's what everybody keeps reminding me. My answer was that this whole season has been a challenge one way or another, as they always are. Obviously, some years you have a little more adversity and moving parts than others, and we seem to have had a bunch of moving parts. At times, we've handled it real well and other times not as well as we'd have liked to. With three games to go and going down to Dallas, another team that's fighting to find their way into the tournament, we're going to have to play our best game. It's going to be all hands on deck. Whoever is on deck or is able to get on deck is going to be expected to go out and play good football. We've got to do some things to help guys all the time, so this will be no different from that standpoint.
Is it any more difficult with the rookies lining up next to each other on the offensive line?
The good thing is they came in together. Those guys that come in the same class tend to have good rapport right out of the gate. Obviously, they're going to have to count on [Maurkice] Pouncey, David will. But they're both smart guys, and Beachum has been in there now for a couple weeks. I don't know who will be helping who but I know they'll be communicating and they'll be ready to go mentally and physically.
How much further along is Roethlisberger this week than he was at this time last week?
I think a great deal. The biggest part is just having that game under his belt after missing a significant amount of time. I think that we all knew going into last week that it might take a little time to kind of get up to the speed of the game. It did, and I think he probably would say the same thing, but he got comfortable as the game went on. Unfortunately we were in a situation we didn't want to be in but he's got a game under his belt. He's been back to practice for a week, so I'd expect him to be ready to go.
Defensive Coordinator Dick LeBeau
How much will change on defense, considering the injuries to the defensive backs?
Hopefully, we have some quality depth. It's a challenge for us. One thing is for sure, they aren't going to cancel the game. We think we have a plan. We have some good people that will step in there and pick it up. The game is still about tackling, keying and knocking down passes. We are going to show up. We know we have a challenge but I feel these young guys are going to make something good out of it.
With this situation, does it give guys like Ryan Clark or Troy Polamalu more responsibility?
Only in a communicative sense, but they are great communicators. I don't think it's anything different for them. I will say from the coaching sessions, which began back in March, we tried to develop depth at every position, and we tried to teach these young players like they are going to be starting. We know someday they will be starting. This has happened before this year. Unfortunately, we got a couple hits at the same spot. Generally speaking, throughout the course of a season, this happens every year. It's not a surprise that some of these guys are going to be starting and taking a significant amount of snaps. Hopefully they will be prepared and answer the challenge.
Do you ever scratch your head, thinking about all the injuries this season?
Not the injuries, but I do scratch my head every day [Laughs]. Injuries are a part of the game. If you look around the league, we are close here, because it's our team. I think most teams go through an injury process throughout a 16-game season.
Re: Josh Victorian's play last Sunday:
He made a play. I thought that he knew his assignments well. We have had him since training camp. He's always impressed us as a playmaker. I think that he will make a good account of himself in there.
Re: Victorian said he thought he could have been more physical on the play he gave up a touchdown:
I thought he saw the ball well. He had his key well. Maybe he mistimed it a little bit. That's the way I saw it. I didn't see a lack of physicality in the play at all.
Do you see Curtis Brown factoring in this game?
We will need every one of them, without a doubt. They will all be playing.
Re: Getting back LaMarr Woodley:
For several years now, he has been one of the better pass rushers in the NFL. Whenever he is not in there, you are going to feel his loss with the pressure. When he is in there, you are going to pick up the rush. Add to that the fact that he's so big, teams have a hard time blocking him to run the football. He has a lot of assets. We are happy to have him back.

Comfort in any weather.
There are many riders who prefer the ease and simplicity of bib-less cycling shorts. For cooler weather, the Louis Garneau Fit Sensor Shorts have the ideal fit and fabric to keep you moving.
The Fit Sensors are sewn from a fabric that features a nylon, abrasion-resistant outer layer that also serves to keep out bone-chilling cold. The inner layer, on the other hand, is soft, brushed polyester that wicks away moisture from your skin so that if you exert effort and start to sweat, you'll remain warm and dry. The shorts are woven with Lycra that helps them to mold to your muscles and provide a degree of compressive support.
The Insert in the Fit Sensors is the Airzone chamois, and it features multiple small perforations to increase air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. It is constructed from seamless, four-way stretch material with an antibacterial treatment. The edges have been beveled for comfort during long rides.

Quality Biking Shorts
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This is one of the best pairs I've owned due to price and quality. It breaths well and has help up for all of my rides.
Juan F.
Feels good, nice comfort
Comfortable functional and right price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 10"Weight: 190 lbsSize Purchased: Large
For the price, it will be really hard to find a better pair of cycling shorts. They are ridiculously comfortable and provide more than enough protection for the long rides ( just did a 60 miler with these). These fit true to size as I am 5'10 190lbs and the large fit great. Bottom line- if you are looking for a great pair of shorts for a great price do yourself a favor and go with these.
Best yet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After 20+ years of going through various shorts/bibs/etc., these are my favorites. The fit is spot-on, compression is just right, and I can spend 2+ hrs mountain biking in them and not have to make any mid-ride 'adjustments' if you know what I mean. I'm 5'7", 155lbs and the small fits great.
Great Fit for Me. Good looks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These shorts go down a bit further toward the knee cap than my other shorts. I have thin legs at the knees, which with other shorts means that the lower part of the leg is a bit loose. Not with these shorts. They are tight and fit right all the way.
They look fine as well with the contrasting stitching.
The ride feel is fine, but to be honest, I can't tell that much of difference in between shorts and chamois.
I'm 5'10" and weigh 165. The mediums fit great.
Pete OBrien
Great use of mixed fabrics
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The best bike shorts I have used. They are very well padded and stay where they are supposed to on long rides. Don't bother with the more expensive shorts, these are the ones to get. I really like how there's different elasticity in places you need it. I am a 36 waist and the large fits perfect.
Brian Chin
No problems with these shorts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm 6'3" and 165lbs and a Medium fits me well. The waist-band does ride pretty high, and I often roll it down an inch or so, with no loss of comfort. The chamois is excellent and even better if you throw some chamois butt'r in there. Follow the washing instructions (cold water only) for best longevity. I'm looking to get some Fit Sensor bibs, but with my height, I'm not sure if if the medium will be too short height-wise.
Great all day comfort on these shorts though - buy with confidence.
Lightweight & Cool
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These biking shorts are extremely comfortable. I use them on my touring bike (put 240 miles on last weekend) and they kept me cool and comfortable. I especially like the cuff and the long inseam. I'm 5'10.5" and 165 lbs with long legs and a short torso. I ordered the medium ("M") and they fit very well. Wash before use to avoid a little chaffing. I recommend these short to anyone looking for comfort in the heat of Summer.
Also, these shorts are quite stretchy and will adjust to a variety of body types. On me, they give good compression while not feeling at all restrictive.
Excellent Shorts
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
If you want quality, well padded chamois shorts for road biking, then these are the shorts. It is hard to beat Louis Garneau apparel. They come up high enough on the waist to eliminate any possible chance of exposure.
best short I've ever used
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I ride between 200-350 a week & these are my favorite short,just bought another pair. if your going to buy only 1 pair of shorts these are the ones to buy. I like them better then my Gore Wear & Pearl Izumi shorts
LG Fit Sensor 2 Shorts
Got these for my dad since he's never had real cycling shorts before and I had talked him into doing a 50 mile charity ride with me. He still felt a little sore towards the end of the ride, but was happy to have some legit gear for future rides. He usually wears a large, got him a large and the fit is great, so I'd say these run true to size.
Great shorts
The chamois of my go-to shorts had worn soft and it was time to replace. Of course, the manufacturer changed those and the reviews of the new ones were mixed so I went with Louie even though they are a bit more. Great compression, great chamois. The waist is a bit high and my belly makes it roll over but that's never uncomfortable during a ride. Get on sale and a great deal. I've since ordered 3 more.

How is the fit? Does it run tight or large....
How is the fit? Does it run tight or large. I'm 5'9" 180 lbs. I'm thinking XL if they run tight. Thank you.
I'm 5-11 and 190 and wear a medium. My weight has fluctuated 170-190 and have always worn mediums no matter what brand.
Houston Rider
I am also 5'9" and 190. I wear XL. In slacks I wear a size 36 waist. Took a spill off my bike recently. Slid on a rough road with loose gravel. On my hip and leg had a nice strawberry. The shorts held up without tear. Wearing for a year, every Saturday, 60 miles average. Still in good shape.
Good deal for a good pair of shorts
Normally I'm a bib man, but got a pair of shorts for shorter rides and commuting. Found these to be the best pair of shorts I've ever had. They have great compression, a good feel to them, and surprisingly the chamois seems to stay where it needs to on my rides. The fabric is incredible and seems very high quality. These should prove to be great shorts for training, and shorter rides around town. I would definitely buy these again.

Area 51 is a nickname for a military base located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake is a large military airfield and one of the most secretive places in the world. The base's primary purpose is to support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems.
The base lies within the United States Air Force's vast Nevada Test and Training Range. Although the facilities at the range are managed by the 99th Air Base Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, the Groom facility appears to be run as an adjunct of the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, around from Groom, and as such the base is known as Air Force Flight Test Center (Detachment 3).
Other names used for the facility include "Dreamland", "Paradise Ranch", "Home Base", "Watertown Strip", Groom Lake and most recently "Homey Airport". The area is part of the Nellis Military Operations Area, and military pilots refer to the forbidden airspace around it (R-4808N) as The Box.
The intense secrecy surrounding the base, the very existence of which the U.S. government barely acknowledges, has led it to become the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to UFO folklore.
The designation "Area 51" is contentious, appearing on older maps of the NTS but not newer ones, yet the same naming scheme is used for other parts of the Nevada Test Site.
The area is connected to the internal NTS road network, with paved roads leading south to Mercury and west to Yucca Flat. Leading northeast from the lake, the wide and well-maintained Groom Lake Road runs through a pass in the Jumbled Hills. The road formerly led to mines in the Groom basin, but has been improved since their closure. Its winding course runs past a security checkpoint, but the restricted area around the base extends further east. After leaving the restricted area, Groom Lake Road descends eastward to the floor of the Tikaboo Valley, passing the dirt-road entrances to several small ranches, before converging with State Route 375, the "Extraterrestrial Highway", south of Rachel.
Soviet spy satellites obtained photographs of the Groom Lake area during the height of the Cold War, and later civilian satellites produced detailed images of the base and its surroundings. These images support only modest conclusions about the base; they depict a nondescript base, long airstrip, hangars and the lake, but nothing that supports some of the claims about underground facilities. Though no ICAO identifier for the base appears on any official document, in December 2007, airline pilots noticed that the base had appeared in their aircraft navigation systems' latest Jeppesen database revision as "KXTA".
Lockheed constructed a makeshift base at Groom, consisting of little more than a few shelters, workshops and trailer homes in which to house its small team. The first U-2 flew at Groom in August 1955, and U-2s under the control of the CIA began overflights of Soviet territory by mid-1956.
During this period, the NTS continued to perform a series of atmospheric nuclear explosions. U-2 operations throughout 1957 were frequently disrupted by the Plumbbob series of atomic tests, which detonated over two-dozen devices at the NTS. The Plumbbob-Hood explosion on July 5 scattered fallout across Groom and forced a temporary evacuation.
Even before U-2 development was complete, Lockheed began work on its successor, the CIA's OXCART project, a Mach-3 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft, a later variant of which became the famed USAF SR-71 Blackbird. The Blackbird's flight characteristics and maintenance requirements forced a massive expansion of facilities and runways at Groom Lake. By the time the first A-12 Blackbird prototype flew at Groom in 1962, the main runway had been lengthened to 8,500 ft (2,600 m), and the base boasted a complement of over 1,000 personnel. It had fueling tanks, a control tower, and a baseball diamond. Security was greatly enhanced, the small civilian mine in the Groom basin was closed, and the area surrounding the valley was made an exclusive military preserve. Groom saw the first flight of all major Blackbird variants: A-12, SR-71, the abortive YF-12 interceptor variant, and the D-21 Blackbird-based drone project. The A-12 would remain at Groom Lake until 1968.
Commuter service is provided along Groom Lake Road by a bus, catering to a small number of employees living in several small communities beyond the NTS boundary (although it is not clear whether these workers are employed at Groom or at other facilities in the NTS). The bus travels Groom Lake Road and stops at Crystal Springs, Ash Springs, and Alamo, and parks at the Alamo courthouse overnight.
Unlike much of the Nellis range, the area surrounding the lake is permanently off-limits both to civilian and normal military air traffic. Radar stations protect the area, and unauthorized personnel are quickly expelled. Even military pilots training in the NAFR risk disciplinary action if they accidentally stray into the exclusionary "box" surrounding Groom's airspace. Perimeter security is provided by uniformed private security guards working for EG&G's security subcontractor Wackenhut, who patrol in desert camouflage Jeep Cherokees and Humvees, and more recently, champagne-colored Ford F-150 pickups and gray Chevy 2500 4X4 pickups. Although the guards are armed with M16s, no violent encounters with Area 51 observers have been reported; instead, the guards generally follow visitors near the perimeter and radio for the Lincoln County Sheriff. Deadly force is authorized if violators who attempt to breach the secured area fail to heed warnings to halt. Fines of around $600 seem to be the normal course of action, although some visitors and journalists report receiving follow-up visits from FBI agents. Some observers have been detained on public land for pointing camera equipment at the base. Surveillance is supplemented using buried motion sensors and by HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters.
The base does not appear on public U.S. government maps; the USGS topographic map for the area only shows the long-disused Groom Mine. A civil aviation chart published by the Nevada Department of Transportation shows a large restricted area, but defines it as part of the Nellis restricted airspace. The official aeronautical navigation charts for the area show Groom Lake but omit the airport facilities. Similarly the National Atlas page showing federal lands in Nevada does not distinguish between the Groom block and other parts of the Nellis range. Although officially declassified, the original film taken by U.S. Corona spy satellite in the 1960s has been altered prior to declassification; in answer to freedom of information queries, the government responds that these exposures (which map to Groom and the entire NAFR) appear to have been destroyed. Terra satellite images (which were publicly available) were removed from web servers (including Microsoft's "Terraserver") in 2004, and from the monochrome 1 m resolution USGS data dump made publicly available. NASA Landsat 7 images are still available (these are used in the NASA World Wind). Higher resolution (and more recent) images from other satellite imagery providers (including Russian providers and the IKONOS) are commercially available. These show, in considerable detail, the runway marking, base facilities, aircraft, and vehicles.
Nevada's state government, recognizing the folklore surrounding the base might afford the otherwise neglected area some tourism potential, officially renamed the section of State Route 375 near Area 51 "The Extraterrestrial Highway", and posted fancifully illustrated signs along its length.
Although federal property within the base is exempt from state and local taxes, facilities owned by private contractors are not. Area 51 researcher Glenn Campbell claimed in 1994 that the base only declares a taxable value of $2 million to the Lincoln County tax assessor, who is unable to enter the area to perform an assessment.
Citing the State Secrets Privilege, the government petitioned trial judge U.S. District Judge Philip Pro (of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada in Las Vegas) to disallow disclosure of classified documents or examination of secret witnesses, alleging this would expose classified information and threaten national security. When Judge Pro rejected the government's argument, President Bill Clinton issued a Presidential Determination, exempting what it called, "The Air Force's Operating Location Near Groom Lake, Nevada" from environmental disclosure laws. Consequently, Pro dismissed the suit due to lack of evidence. Turley appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, on the grounds that the government was abusing its power to classify material. Secretary of the Air Force Sheila E. Widnall filed a brief that stated that disclosures of the materials present in the air and water near Groom "can reveal military operational capabilities or the nature and scope of classified operations." The Ninth Circuit rejected Turley's appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear it, putting an end to the complainants' case.
The President continues to annually issue a determination continuing the Groom exception. This, and similarly tacit wording used in other government communications, is the only formal recognition the U.S. Government has ever given that Groom Lake is more than simply another part of the Nellis complex.
An unclassified memo on the safe handling of F117 material was posted on an Air Force website in 2005. This discussed the same materials for which the complainants had requested information (information the government had claimed was classified). The memo was removed shortly after journalists became aware of it.
The memo details debate between federal agencies regarding whether the images should be classified, with Department of Defense agencies arguing that it should, and NASA and the State Department arguing against classification. The memo itself questions the legality of unclassified images to be retroactively classified.
Remarks on the memo, handwritten apparently by DCI (Director of Central Intelligence) Colby himself, read:
Many of the hypotheses concern underground facilities at Groom or at nearby Papoose Lake, and include claims of a transcontinental underground railroad system, a disappearing airstrip (nicknamed the "Cheshire Airstrip", after Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat) which briefly appears when water is sprayed onto its camouflaged asphalt, and engineering based on alien technology. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed that he had worked at a facility at Papoose Lake (which he called S-4) on such a U.S. Government flying saucer.
The 1996 documentary Dreamland directed by Bruce Burgess included an interview with a 71 year old mechanical engineer who claimed to be a former employee at Area 51 during the 1950s, working on a "flying disc simulator" built to train US Pilots, based on a disc originating from a crashed extraterrestrial craft. During his career at Area 51 he claimed to have worked with an extraterrestrial being whose name was "J-Rod", described as a telepathic translator.
Dan Burisch (real name, Dan Crain) claimed in 2004 to have worked on cloning alien viruses at Area 51, alongside the alien named "J-Rod". Crain's scholarly credentials and credibility fell to pieces when it was revealed that he was working as a Las Vegas parole officer in 1989 when he was supposedly earning a PhD at SUNY.
The 1998-2001 television series Seven Days took place largely inside the Area 51 complex itself, with the base depicted as being run by a covert National Security Agency operation which used time-travel made possible by alien technology recovered from the 1947 Roswell UFO incident.
Lara Croft infiltrates Area 51 in Tomb Raider 3. She must find a special stone called 'Element 115'. A non-stealthy playing style closes doors and makes the task more difficult.
Joanna Dark infiltrates Area 51 in the multi-million selling first person shooter video game Perfect Dark. Her objectives are to meet up with a fellow secret agent, find the autopsy lab of the assumed to be dead alien named Elvis, and to get out successfully.
In the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, "Hangar 51" is revealed to be the location of the government warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant was stored at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and where KGB agents go to recover the remains of the Roswell alien, eventually revealed to be an interdimensional being with a crystalline skeleton. In his review of the film, the scene was likened to "a kind of Area 51" by Popular Mechanics writer Jack Donaldson.
In the television series Stargate SG-1, Area 51 is used as a facility for storage and research of technology brought back to Earth from other planets.
In the Metal Gear Solid series, Area 51 turns out to be one of the headquarters of the Illuminati group known as The Patriots, who manipulate the government, public, and economy from behind the scenes. Character Raiden is injured during an attempt to rescue Sunny.

There's a new neighborhood in the college town of Bloomington, Ind., whose bright colors are not only turning heads, they're providing house-hunters with a "third way" between new construction on the outskirts of town or older city homes that need costly renovations. The neighborhood is called South Dunn Street, and its new construction, clad in crayon-bright hues, offers what developer Matt Press calls the alternative to beige, vinyl-clad suburbia.
"So much of my development is about emotion," Press says, and color plays a major role. "You're creating an environment where people feel happier, stimulated and more alive." South Dunn Street is grounded in the principles of New Urbanism, which combines traditional neighborhood layouts with modern amenities, yards, garages and porches, all within walking distance to town, shops, parks and schools.
Early in the planning stages, Press came across images of Scandinavia's vibrant, multicolored homes, which are instantly uplifting, especially during the gray days of winter. Inspired, Press went to his project's architects and told them he wanted to make a strong color statement. Ernesto Castañeda, an architect at Kirkwood Design Studio, loved the concept and came up with a mood board of Sherwin-Williams color-combination ideas, such as Scanda (SW 6529) with Colonial Yellow (SW 0030) trim.
"We always thought it should be a cheerful place, not a dreary, all-the-same-tan condition," Castañeda says.
Although the architects offer suggestions, there are no color restrictions. Each homeowner gets to choose two colors: one for the body of the house and another for the trim. Just when the project crew thought they were going to be disappointed – a house had been painted white, of all shades – the homeowner picked Robust Orange (SW 6628) for the trim. As Press says, "Nobody with a beige mentality will buy into this project."
When Kathryn Roszko moved to South Dunn Street with her husband and their two sons, she chose a colorful cottage look of purple (Mesmerize, SW 6544) with light green trim (Ryegrass, SW 6423) and a bright yellow porch and picket fence (Colonial Yellow).
"We didn't want to be boring," Roszko says, adding that she loved living in South Dunn during her family's brief detour from Massachusetts. Their home's distinctive hue gave it a strong identity. "We were 'the purple house' – that was our address."
Real estate agent Brian Lappin often sees smiles on clients' faces when he drives them through South Dunn Street, which he feels is a breath of fresh air compared to typical cookie-cutter suburban neighborhoods.
"A lot of people want to live closer to town, in an interesting house," Lappin says. He appreciates that South Dunn Street offers something new, that's well-engineered, fairly green and fun.
"It's entertaining," Lappin says. "People are jazzed by it; there's a buzz."

Great Barrington & the Berkshires
Great Barrington & the Berkshires
Great Barrington is a small town (pop. 7,500) in the middle of the Berkshires, stocked with culture and populated by independent-minded people who care about community and build their own lives with integrity and style. You can find a few chain stores on the outskirts, but mostly this is an indie town. The movie theater, the renovated theater that hosts nationally known performing artists, the natural foods grocery, the blocks of restaurants and cafés and galleries and shops—they're all independent. It's not a big city, but you can get excellent sushi and gourmet pizza, see live music in a packed café, buy good used books and reasonably priced clothing, meet working artists in their studios, and bump into the supervisor of your next internship while waiting in line at the vegetarian café that makes smoothies with organic fruit.
What's it like to live in the Berkshires? Well, you'd be living in gorgeous, thickly forested mountains that stretch across western Massachusetts, so you'd have access to great skiing, hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities. You'd be a short drive from an astounding number of top-notch colleges and universities (Williams, Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, Bard, the University of Massachusetts Amherst). And you'd be in the middle of one of the country's premier cultural centers, home to world-class performance companies and venues.
Does it matter that we live in a fiercely independent, wildly creative town that happens to have been the childhood home of W.E.B. Du Bois, a pioneering scholar, social critic, and civil right leader who happened to finish high school two years earlier than his peers? Or that this town is in the middle of a stretch of forested mountains known the world over for their natural beauty and their ridiculously high concentration of outstanding cultural resources? Or that despite its seeming remoteness, this town is, in fact, only two and a half hours by car to Boston or New York City? We think so.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Assistant State Attorney Russ Edgar became "roast pig" in an unsophisticated jailhouse code prosecutors contend was created by disbarred attorney Harvey Tipler while plotting Edgar's death.
The code was part of Tipler's maneuvering to get the pieces in place to kill a determined prosecutor he had come to hate, Assistant State Attorney Bobby Elmore told jurors Tuesday as opening arguments were heard in Tipler's trial on charges of solicitation of murder.
"A cold-blooded murder was supposed to happen right here in the Panhandle of Florida," Elmore said. "Someone was supposed to come to Florida, stalk Assistant State Attorney Russ Edgar and mercilessly shoot him to death for nothing more than doing his job."
The plot fell apart, at least in part, according to Elmore's version of events, because Tipler trusted what his attorney described as a con man, a bully and a snitch.
The con man, Dion Lowe, took the stand Tuesday.
He testified that Tipler cried when describing the way he was being treated by Edgar as he pursued racketeering charges against him, and said any other prosecutor would treat him better.
Lowe said the tears indicated to him that Tipler was serious in saying he wanted Edgar dead.
"When you want to get out of jail that bad you go to any length," he testified.
Tipler offered to pay Lowe $1,100 to find transportation to Altanta find a hit man there to kill Edgar using a long-range rifle and a silencer, Elmore told jurors.
Lowe testified he told Tipler he'd help him but didn't mean it.
"I don't even know nobody. I was just talking," he said. "I was going to (use the money) to get a driver's license so I could start providing for my family."
Lowe again was alerted to how serious Tipler was, according to the prosecution, when Tipler called him about a month after Lowe had been released from jail.
In a tape of the phone call played for the jury, Tipler, speaking in the code he had devised, tells Lowe he had found cash to pay him to take care of the "project" they'd discussed and states, "I look forward to having some roast pig with barbeque sauce on it."
According to Elmore's opening argument, Lowe's effort to take Tipler's money was foiled because the snitch, former attorney R. Scott Whitehead, already had gone to authorities to sell out Tipler.
Lowe went to a pre-arranged meeting place in Destin to get cash for the "project" and was taken into custody.
He, Whitehead and Wallace Morris, the bully in the prosecution's account, have taken plea deals to testify against Tipler.
The plea agreements, and the character of the men who took them, will be at the heart of attorney Clyde Taylor's defense of Tipler.
"Who had motive to tell the truth and who had motive to spin a tale?" Taylor asked the jury.
Tipler, Taylor told jurors in his opening arguments, had been offered a plea deal of a three-year jail term with 12 years probation on the three counts of racketeering he was facing.
In light of the 90-year maximum sentence, Edgar had made a generous offer, Taylor said.
"He had an offer from Mr. Edgar, the very person he is accused of wanting to do away with," Taylor said. "The golden egg has been laid in front of you by Mr. Edgar. Why would you kill the goose?"
The prosecution will continue its case today. The trial is expected to last all week.

I see people saying similar to things all the time. Apart from the (very much optional) iOS inspired Launch Pad, how exactly has OS X been "watered down"?
All current apple product and iOS/OSX design is stale. OS X has been water down by iOS features ever since late 2010 with the unveil of OS X Lion.

I am fast losing faith in Apple. OSX 10.8 bought slowdowns in favour of iOS features, which I don't get.
The new iMacs have got both slower HDDs (21") than previous models and less ram slots (21") than previous models, while costing $100 more.
The iPhone 5 is just another iPhone. An awesome phone sure, but it's all been seen before by last years model.
In short Apple need to re-evaluate what they are doing to their software.

Oh Jesus Christ not this crap again - geeks on forums demanding change for the sake of change whilst at the same time screaming to the top of their lungs when Microsoft tries to do something slightly 'out of left field' with their GUI design. Apple isn't dying but the competition is getting better and quite frankly it won't matter how much Apple change the end of the day there are more people who want to have more different devices on offer than it is practical for any single organisation to cater for. End of the day the question is whether Apple is willing to accept that they'll never have the massive marketshare they had before (of which they gained off the back of the competition being on the back foot) or whether they try to do something stupid like they did prior to Jobs coming on board with an attempt to be everything to everyone and fragment the product line up that it becomes overly expensive and complicated to manage inventories etc (look at the product and service line up before Steve Jobs rescued the company).
Where they do run the risk is this - their future relies very heavily on the high speed internet infrastructure being in place just like Microsoft's own service devision (but Microsoft has hedged its bets with their Surface hardware, XBox and other products/services) hence I've said in the past that Apple needs to buy out Adobe and expand their middleware massively along with updating their Mac Pro along with offering 'creative datacenters' located in the creative capitals (Hollywood etc) of the world so that upstarts and established players can offload their rendering to large datacenters on a per hourly basis which is linked back into the middleware rather than the companies having to invest in their own datacenters. What Apple needs is more than just off sales but re-occuring revenue to keep investors happy and for Apple to survive long term.
Posted 02 May 2013 - 04:44
Crap, you just don't get it. OS X haven't got any unique new feature ever since OS X Lion and majority is inspire by iOS which is nothing new. Everything you wrote about Apple is like a storyteller and insinuate that most of us here don't know Apple history.
Posted 02 May 2013 - 05:01
But what the problem Apple is facing now is Steve Jobs....
Now before people go ape dung about that comment ... let me explain..
It is because no matter who or whom they put up to head the company, the media as well as the public will always compare that person to him.
