GT Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite 29er Mountain Bike - 2013The mountain bike has come a long way. When you look at even five years ago, technology and material has completely been turned upside down. Like most innovation, as it gains popularity over the years, production increases, but the cost to everyone else goes down. I remember when entry level CD players were $800. The same holds true for a bike like the 2013 GT Zaskar Carbon 100 9R Elite mountain bike. It is simply incredible that a bike like this can sit somewhere in the middle of GT's race-ready XC lineup. It features a state-of-art carbon frame, Fox CTD rear shock and Rock Shox Recon Gold RL fork, a Shimano SLX/Deore drivetrain, and hosts a who's who of great mountain bike brands in components, like Crank Brothers, Avid, Maxxis, Easton, Fizik and more.
Mountain bikes are made of other people's stuff, like SRAM or Easton. What is distinctly GT is what sets this bike apart from the rest. GT uses their patented and proven I-Drive full suspension technology. An Independent Drivetrain requires fewer pivots or less linkage to save precious weight and allows the suspension to focus solely on what it's supposed to do: handle the trail. Regardless of how the rear wheel moves, the I-Drive design won't pull on the chain, crank or pedals. This insulates the rider from suspension induced feedback and results in pedaling efficiency. The rear wheel path is left to follow the force of impact on its own, which means reduced drag, preserved momentum and a faster, smoother ride. Now, let's talk about carbon.
GT's proprietary FOC Ultra carbon frame methodology allows them to make a bike that doesn't flex in ways it shouldn't: while pedaling, steering or from impact forces. They use the fewest layers of high-modulus carbon possible to achieve a stiff, reliable and responsive ride. The Zaskar Carbon 100 frame features 100mm of travel and a tapered 1 ½" head tube improves steering response, reduces flex and provides greater impact deflection at high speeds in rough terrain.
Rock Shox continues to surprise with their ability to stay current with mountain bikers needs. The Recon Gold RL is a perfect example. It features a rebound adjust for custom-tuning to changing terrain, a lockout for hard efforts, climbing, or riding on the road to access the trailhead, and a beefy 15x100 front axle for stiffness and support. The rear shock is handled by Fox and supplies similar features to the Recon. Rebound and compression adjust are available and easy to use.
Finally, the Elite is equipped with a Shimano SLX/Deore drivetrain, Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic brakes, and Crank Brothers static handlebar and seatpost components. Roll it all up and you have a bike that has performance and efficiency as equal parts.

So – it's that time of year again.
Last week, we attended the Whisky Magazine World Whiskies Awards (and Icons of Whisky), and came away with a slew of trophies and awards to show for another year's hard work.
First things first – we're absolutely delighted to announce that we've retained our crown as 'World's Best Online Whisky Retailer' for the third year on the trot. An absolutely fabulous achievement which we're immensely proud of. We've said this before (and will keep on shouting it from the rooftops) but our site remains the only purpose-built online whisky shop coded from the ground up. It took an extraordinary amount of effort to build something that wasn't based on a standard e-commerce platform, and we're all hugely proud of the software stack we've built.

It's fair to say that Feis Ile aka That Boutique-y Whisky Company On Tour 2013 was a rip-roaring success! Enjoyment was had by all, 3 fantastic Competitions were run and entered into with rabid enthusiasm. And nobody died, either! Great success.
From our Distillery Dog Peaty getting lost (and getting found again) to our Message in a Bottle Islay Treasure Hunt, to loads of you literally flagging us down with the signal, you (yes, you) all made this our best Fèis Ìle yet! We're already hard at work planning next year's shenannigans...

The final day of Feis Ile 2013 was of course Ardbog Day! Although thoroughly shattered, we nonetheless dragged ourselves down to the Kildalton coast with dogged enthusiasm!
(The good thing about Ardbeg of course is that they have Ardbeg there. Mmm... Ardbeg.)

'International Port Ellen Day' 2013 (#iPed2013), organised by the one and only Jon Beach, took place on the Friday during Fèis Ìle this year.
First though, we paid a visit to Bunnahabhain and even solved the mystery of what really happened to the nearby Wyre Majestic, now shipwrecked off the coast...

It seems that everywhere we've gone this week people have been talking about one thing in particular: the mysterious bottles that have washed up on the shores of Islay containing messages written by "Doc" Emmett L. Brown way back in 1859!
This was, as you may know unless you've been living under a rock (you do read all my blogs with avid enthusiasm, right?), part of our third competition for Feis Ile 2013. Everybody who found a bottle was told to meet at the clock tower at Laphroaig distillery at 12 noon on Wednesday 29th May 2013 - their prize for doing so was a full bottle of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's brand new Caol Ila (worth £54.95) AND the chance to feature on our next cultish comic book-style label!

The day ended with a game of Islay-opoly where three people landed on Caol Ila at the same time at one point (apt).
That morning we had headed over to Port Askaig, to that very distillery, to continue the search for our lost dog Peaty...
Have you seen him?

Fèis Ìle 2013. Here. We. Come.
We set off for the Islay whisky festival on Thursday morning with Benedict and myself in one car, Cat and Monsieur Vachon in the Malt Mobile and a rendezvous set for that evening in Edinburgh, our port of call for the night. Successfully avoiding Ben's extensive heavy metal collection, we were free to discuss vital musical questions such as "Exactly how many years have the ladies loved cool James for now?". Vital, pressing questions.

Feis Ile is almost upon us once again and to celebrate our third visit to The Islay Whisky Festival, we will be running 3 Competitions (count 'em) for all those souls lucky enough to be joining us on the Hebridean island between 24th May and 2nd June 2013!
We will also be releasing a brand new bottling from That Boutique-y Whisky Company: a Caol Ila! Schwiing! This new release will be up for grabs on Islay as well as other prizes. To see how you can get in on the action, read on...

We've been back for a couple of weeks now and we're slowly beginning to feel human again after the rigours of our ten days on Islay.
This year's Feis Ile was quite an experience, from the fabulous food at the Lagavulin dinner to partying with the Balvenie boys, Cask Strength, et al in our very own hot tub.
Since we've been back, we've also been enjoying the entries to our competition, some of which I have peppered throughout this post.

Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets
Sudhir speaks with NCPC's Kelsey Tokar about the role respect plays within gang culture, and the value of building a trusting community, even in the toughest of times.
The story of the young sociologist who studied a Chicago crack-dealing gang from the inside captured the world's attention when it was first described in Freakonomics. Gang Leader for a Day is the fascinating full story of how Sudhir Venkatesh managed to gain entrance into the gang, what he learned, and how his method revolutionized the academic establishment.
When Venkatesh walked into an abandoned building in one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, he was looking for people to take a multiple-choice survey on urban poverty. A first-year grad student hoping to impress his professors with his boldness, he never imagined that as a result of the assignment he would befriend a gang leader named JT and spend the better part of a decade inside the projects under JT's protection, documenting what he saw there.
Over the next seven years, Venkatesh got to know the neighborhood dealers, crackheads, squatters, prostitutes, pimps, activists, cops, organizers, and officials. From his privileged position of unprecedented access, he observed JT and the rest of the gang as they operated their crack-selling business, conducted PR within their community, and rose up or fell within the ranks of the gang's complex organizational structure.
In Hollywood-speak, Gang Leader for a Day is The Wire meets Harvard University. It's a brazen, page turning, and fundamentally honest view into the morally ambiguous, highly intricate, often corrupt struggle to survive in what is tantamount to an urban war zone. It is also the story of a complicated friendship between Sudhir and JT-two young and ambitious men a universe apart.
Biography – Sudhir Venkatesh is William B. Ransford Professor of Sociology at Columbia University in the City of New York. He is a researcher and writer on urban neighborhoods in the United States (New York, Chicago) and Paris, France. His most recent book is Gang Leader for a Day (Penguin Press). Gang Leader received a Best Book award from The Economist, and is currently being translated into Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, Italian, Polish, French and Portuguese. His previous work, Off the Books: The Underground Economy of the Urban Poor (Harvard University Press, 2006) about illegal economies in Chicago, received a Best Book Award from Slate.Com (2006) as well as the C. Wright Mills Award (2007). His first book, American Project: The Rise and Fall of a Modern Ghetto (2000) explored life in Chicago public housing. His other writings and stories have appeared in The American Prospect, This American Life, and The Chicago Tribune, and he is a frequent commentator on National Public Radio.
Other ongoing research projects include a study of immigration and settlement in the suburbs of Paris, an in-depth study of re-entry among the formerly incarcerated in New York, and a long-term project on sex work in New York and Chicago with the economist (and Freakonomics author) Steven Levitt. His next book, under contract with Penguin Press, will focus on the role of the black market in the revitalization of New York in the last decade.
Venkatesh has produced several documentaries. The documentary film, Dislocation, follows families as they relocate from condemned public housing developments. The documentary aired on PBS in 2005. He directed and produced a three-part award winning documentary on the history of public housing for NPR. He has currently finished At the Top of My Voice, a documentary film on a scholar and artist who return to the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia to promote democracy and safeguard human rights.
Venkatesh received his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago. He was a Junior Fellow at the Society of Fellows, Harvard University from 1996-1999. He is currently Director of the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy, and Director of the Charles H. Revson Fellowship Program, both at Columbia University.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

The Cambridge Peace Commission promotes peace and social justice within Cambridge and in the wider world. It works to reduce violence and advocates ideas and programs that affirm diversity and build community within our city. It links peace groups, social justice efforts, anti-violence coalitions and the municipal government, and pays special attention to violence affecting youth.
The Commission builds community by celebrating local people and efforts with programs and events, and by organizing community forums on issues affecting the community. It supports Cambridge's sister-city relationships, including those with Yerevan, Armenia and San José Las Flores, El Salvador.
Read more about who we are and what we do.
Recalling all who perished during the Holocaust, this year's program features an evening of music, candle lighting, and remembrance.
The guest speaker is Israel "Izzy" Arbeiter. Mr. Arbeiter is a Holocaust survivor and lifelong human rights activist who lost several family members – including both of his parents – in the Holocaust. He spent five years imprisoned by the Third Reich in labor camps and concentration camps, including Auschwitz, and at one point played dead to avoid being executed. For over 60 years, Mr. Arbeiter has dedicated his life to commemorating the Holocaust and to educating others about it. He has stood up and spoken for the rights of survivors of all races and religions, demanding that the world must remember what has happened, to understand why it happened, and to identify the seeds from which hate grows.
Music will be provided by cellist Lily Bouvier, the Cambridge Community Chorus, and the Cambridge Rindge & Latin School Vocal Ensemble.
The program is free, open to all, and wheelchair accessible. It welcomes all communities of Cambridge – including children and adults and people of all faiths and traditions.
Temple Beth Shalom is located just off Broadway, at 8 Tremont St., between Hampshire St. and Broadway (Tremont St. is one block east of Prospect St., between Central and Inman squares).

Take the Cambridge Youth Violence Survey
If you are under the age of 24 and live in Cambridge, you are invited to participate in this short, simple youth survey on Youth Violence. This is a completely anonymous survey that the Cambridge Peace Commission is conducting to hear about what is really happening from the voices that matter -- those of our City's young people!
Take the Online Survey!
The Cambridge Peace Commission has addressed violence and promoted peace and justice in schools:
• Worked with the Cambridge Public Health Department, Police Department, Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP), and the Cambridge Public Schools to create the Cambridge Community Response Network, as well as served on the network's Steering Committee.
• Co-facilitated a Forum on Violence and Youth with the Cambridge Police Department and the DHSP City Peace program to help all three departments in efforts to address and prevent summer violence.
• Had an ongoing presence at CRLS, as appropriate, in support of students, faculty and staff in the wake of any incidents of violence affecting Cambridge youth.
The Commission has worked to promote peace and justice locally as an alternative to violence:
• Continued the Summer of Peace initiative to promote a summer free of youth violence in Cambridge by bringing together City staff, police, schools, clergy, youth centers, clinicians, academics and community activists to identify potential problems and sources of violence in the community, foster collaborations among the agencies, share information and report on accomplishments.
• Participated in the Domestic Violence Free Zone (DVFZ) Core Group (steering committee) for the City of Cambridge, provided strategic expertise, planned and supported systemic changes in city policy, guided the projects of the DVFZ and organized the City's annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities.
In the community, the Commission has fostered peace through building connections and community:
• Served on the Community Engagement Team, a multi-agency collaborative, which reaches out to underserved Cambridge families and connects them to community events and resources, develops community leaders, and supports agencies in working with a diverse community.
• Collaborated with community groups and organizations to create the North Cambridge Gathering, a neighborhood-based approach to promoting safety, fostering community and creating opportunities for neighbors to get to know each other and build relationships.
• Organized the 24th annual Cambridge Citywide Holocaust Commemoration, worked with students, musicians, communities of faith, school and library personnel, and City departments to create an inclusive and moving ceremony with music, remembrances and reflections from a survivor of the Holocaust.
• Organized the annual Martin Luther King Day Commemoration and Remembrance.
The Commission has promoted peace and justice through connecting Cambridge with the wider world:
• Coordinated the Cambridge-Haiti Sister City Committee, which leads the City's efforts to establish a sister city in Haiti, organizing an initial working delegation to assess how to leverage the academic, financial and organizational resources of Cambridge to support and expand the educational, environmental and public health work currently being carried out in the Les Cayes region of Haiti.
• Participated in the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Cambridge-El Salvador Sister City Project, which brought community leaders from San José Las Flores, El Salvador to Cambridge so that local residents could learn about the ongoing connections to and support for that community.
• Provided a place in city government for people to examine the impact of conflicts, wars and natural disasters around the world in Cambridge; examining and strengthening the connections of communities in the City to other nations; and addressed them in meaningful and effective ways.

July 02, 2013
With the long Independence Day weekend the chance of being a victim of a cargo theft increases dramatically. The new hours of service regulations that went into effect this week could make things worse.
Holiday weekends are notorious for showing increased cargo theft risks for transportation companies, shippers and manufacturers, according to logistics security services provider FreightWatch International. It warns organized theft rings are active and understand holiday weekends mean more loads are left unattended for extended periods of time.
For instance, last year $2.5 million worth of cell phones and perfume were stolen in Miami, Fla. Two years ago a full truckload of pharmaceuticals was stolen from a truckstop in Troy, Ill.
This year, with the Fourth of July landing on a Thursday, many companies will be off on Friday as well, extending this holiday to a four-day weekend.
The new HOS regulations that went into effect Monday could make things worse, says John Simms, vice president and transportation risk advisor with HNI. "It's a field day for cargo thieves," he told attendees at last week's Fleet Safety Conference in Schaumburg, Ill. "We're going to make hours of service changes in the week that's the toughest operating week of the year with a holiday that's almost as important to a driver as Christmas. You're going to see people parking in places they shouldn't be with the new break rules."
Those places are likely to be less secure and easier targets for cargo thieves, he said -- especially if drivers are caught out of hours close enough to home for their spouse to come pick them up and take them home for the weekens.
Over the past three years, the Fourth of July weekend has seen an average of 5.5 thefts per day, more than double the annual average of 2.6 per day for the same time period.
FreightWatch recommends that logistics and security professionals ensure security protocols are up to date and in line with industry best practices for both in transit and warehouse operations. Both will be heavily targeted over the weekend.

The EQ bass drum system offers an endless amount of sound combinations that will adapt to your musical situation. EQ heads have a removable internal overtone control ring on the inside of the batter heads and an internal overtone control ring on the resonant heads that eliminate unwanted overtones, increase attack, and control the amount of sustain from your bass drum. The batter heads feature a removable EQ overtone control ring that is held in place by an internal flap. If you are playing in a situation where you need a more open sound, you can remove the EQ ring without damaging the head. You can return to your original sound by simply putting the EQ ring back. The coated EQ batter and resonant heads will reduce some of the overtones as well as increase attack, and also give the front resonant head a unique retro look. An EQ patch is included with each EQ batter head for increased durability.

Zagat is one of my favorite website for restaurant references. I found the restaurants recommendations in US were much more accurate than the ones in Canada. Anyway, I decided to pay a lunch visit to a popular Thai restaurant Maenam, on 4th Avenue, right opposite to Bistro Bistro. The restaurant was completely empty when we were seated. The decorations were simply and modern, and the lighting was bright for photography.
We decided on a lunch set menu (for more than 2 people only), which included an appetizer, a salad, a stir-fry and a curry dish. For soup, we had the North East Style hot and sour soup of pork. The soup came with a large quantity of assorted mushrooms and parsley. The taste of the soup is quite authentic with a strong taste of fresh red chili and limejuice. The soup is hot and came a fairly big quantity for two people.
The Banana Blossom Salad, the Pad Thai and the Green Curry Beef came to the table at the same time, which surprised me. There was a big gap of time between the soup was finished and all the other dishes were brought up. I wonder why they didn't serve the salad first so that the table wouldn't be so crowed and the waiting time wouldn't be too long. Anyway, the Banana Blossom Salad is a healthy vegetarian salad (called Yum Hua Plee). The cilantros and the dried shrimps went well however, the banana blossoms are deep fried in Maenam, so it is not so healthy anymore.
The green curry beef was authentic in the flavor but the ingredients used in the dish were not very authentic. Bell peppers and lots of gingers were used in the green curry beef in Maenam. In Thailand, eggplants, lime leaves, and hot chili would be used in this dish. After all, the taste was fine with the steamed rice even though the green curry sauce is a little to thick.
Finally we moved on to the Pad Thai. This was the most satisfying dish of the this entire lunch. The rice noodles were chewy and fresh, there were many prawns, tofu and egg in the pad Thai. Both the ingredients and the flavor were authentic. With a splash of lime juice and some (extremely) hot chili pepper, the Pad Thai on its own would be a wonderful lunch.
I ordered the cucumber relish as a side dish. The cucumber was finely chopped and nicely pickled. The only disappointment is that the relish is not spicy at all. I was hoping a hint of spice other than the refreshing taste!
Overall, the restaurant was lower than my expectation. Considering that the lunch should be quick and delicious, it took us eighty minutes to finish the lunch and quality could only be considered as half authentic.

Here's Looking at Euclid
A Surprising Excursion Through the Astonishing World of Math
Bellos has traveled all around the globe and has plunged into history to uncover fascinating stories of mathematical achievement, from the breakthroughs of Euclid, the greatest mathematician of all time, to the creations of the Zen master of origami, one of the hottest areas of mathematical work today. Taking us into the wilds of the Amazon, he tells the story of a tribe there who can count only to five and reports on the latest findings about the math instinct—including the revelation that ants can actually count how many steps they've taken. Journeying to the Bay of Bengal, he interviews a Hindu sage about the brilliant mathematical insights of the Buddha, while in Japan he visits the godfather of Sudoku and introduces the brainteasing delights of mathematical games.
Exploring the mysteries of randomness, he explains why it is impossible for our iPods to truly randomly select songs. In probing the many intrigues of that most beloved of numbers, pi, he visits with two brothers so obsessed with the elusive number that they built a supercomputer in their Manhattan apartment to study it. Throughout, the journey is enhanced with a wealth of intriguing illustrations, such as of the clever puzzles known as tangrams and the crochet creation of an American math professor who suddenly realized one day that she could knit a representation of higher dimensional space that no one had been able to visualize.
Whether writing about how algebra solved Swedish traffic problems, visiting the Mental Calculation World Cup to disclose the secrets of lightning calculation, or exploring the links between pineapples and beautiful teeth, Bellos is a wonderfully engaging guide who never fails to delight even as he edifies. Here's Looking at Euclid is a rare gem that brings the beauty of math to life.

Read an Excerpt
When I walked into Pierre Pica's cramped Paris apartment, I was overwhelmed by the stench of mosquito repellent. Pica had just returned from spending five months with a community of Indians in the Amazon rainforest, and he was disinfecting the gifts he had brought back. The walls of his study were decorated with tribal masks, feathered headdresses and woven baskets. Academic books overloaded the shelves. A lone Rubik's Cube lay unsolved on a ledge.
I asked Pica how the trip had been.
"Difficult," he replied.
Pica is a linguist and, perhaps... see more

text: Product Details This design-team favorite, fashioned out of super-luxe silk charmeuse, drapes beautifully. It's sweet with an edge—a laser-cut scalloped edge. True to size.Silk.Dry clean.Import. Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 10 reviewers. Rated 5 out of 5 by stripespants My favorite top! I can't recommend this shirt highly enough. I'm usually a medium (5'7", 130 lb, 34B), but I tried this top on in a large because it was the only size they had left in the store! It still fits great, it's just a little boxier and doesn't nip in as much at the waist like it does on the model although it fits the same through the shoulders. I like my tops to hang more loosely like that and if you do too, I would recommend ordering a size up. SO flattering and super comfortable. The silk is truly to die for. I can see how it wouldn't work for someone with a big bust, but for A-C cups the cut is truly fantastic! January 25, 2014 Rated 5 out of 5 by ana27 Gorgeous I disagree with the bad reviews. The top is beautiful, the silk fabric is fantastic! Since it is silk, the top is not meant to be hugging or super-fitted. Yet thanks to darts at the back it has a nice shape, and is not baggy at all. I just wish Madewell made shirts with exactly that - back darts, because their current shirts (unlike this top), which they call ex-boyfriend or something are too baggy for me, and I never buy them. This top, however, is amazing! I took one star off, because the waistline is slightly higher than I want it to be. I want it to hit my natural waistline, but it doesn't. It is a minor thing, though. November 22, 2013 Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicole22 LOVE I couldn't disagree more with the other reviewer! I went to a Madewell store the other day with a friend. Before going in, I told myself I couldn't buy anything. But then I saw this top! After holding it up, I decided to try it in large. It does seem to run a bit small. For reference, I am usually a small or medium, but I thought I would like this shirt to be a tiny bit oversized. When I tried it on I knew I was in trouble. It's BEAUTIFUL! It hangs so nicely! I don't think it is meant to be super fitted. I actually think it looks great on the model also, so I guess it's just a matter of taste. I splurged, knowing I would be wearing this to many upcoming holiday gatherings. It's really great with a statement necklace, jeans and some cute heels. I couldn't be happier with it! October 3, 2013 Rated 4 out of 5 by Seaturtle Beautiful A lovely little piece. The scalloped edge keeps the look soft and modern. Fit well through the chest but founf it to be a narrow fit through the hip. If you're a little curvy, yu may want to size up. February 12, 2014 Rated 4 out of 5 by jlv29 nice detailing This shirt is simple and comfortable but looks a dressy due to the material and simple detailing at the sleeve. Beautiful! December 30, 2013 Rated 4 out of 5 by amandax3 Lovely top! I recently purchased this top & I love it! I think the scallop laser cut is unique & the almond blossom color is so beautiful!!! I love the fit of this top the most... I usually have an issue with Madewell tops because they're always super baggy in the back, but this top sits perfectly. I hope Madewell continues to make tops that are a bit more fitting like this one December 6, 2013 Rated 4 out of 5 by WiscoChic I <3 Silk! I purchased this top for a Thanksgiving party and it went over great! I received many compliments. Note: I am normally a small however with peplum tops I do have to go up a size. I purchased a medium and it fits perfect with my larger bust. December 3, 2013 Rated 4 out of 5 by lovenyc Beautiful silky top Saw this top at the store and decided to try it on. Fits true to size, not meant to be superfitted. I got it in the almond blossom color which i love. Top looks great by itself or with cardigan or blazer. Can be dressed up or down. Overall i love it! October 19, 2013 Rated 1 out of 5 by Bella215 It falls apart I LOVED this top. The fit, the scallops, the fabric - everything was beautiful. I got to wear it two times (in work settings, so I wasn't doing much besides sitting in meetings) before it started falling apart. The scallops on the sleeves are now shreds. I went to pull it out of my closet yesterday and all the scallops have started fraying, with some completely hanging in little threads. It's so unfortunate! If you get this top, just know that you'll get two/three wears out of it before it falls apart on the hanger. February 16, 2014 Rated 1 out of 5 by eg837 GORGEOUS silk, HORRIBLE cut I saw this top and fell in love, mostly because of the silk. It is the softest silk I have EVER felt, by far, and it is very luxurious. But just look at the model. Usually if something looks horrible on the model, it isn't going to improve once I put it on! This was no exception. Regardless of the size I tried, it pulled horribly at the chest and the armholes gaped between the top of the shoulder and the armpit area. I am 5'9", 148lbs, 34D, 4/6 top size, and pretty proportionate. The small fit so well everywhere except the chest/shoulder area. The medium looked bad because it was too big in the waist, yet it still had the horrible fit up top. I have no idea what went wrong when they cut this top, but it went very, very wrong. It is so disappointing because the material is divine, the peplum hits in the correct place and is thus very flattering, and the colors are divine. But take my advice and do not order this top. Resist the temptation to pet the silk! Just walk away.

|Sport Diver Magazine's 2011 Gear Buyer's Guide: HotShot Fins
"The hot shot is a travel-sized blade built with big-fin technology.
Rather than create a wimpy, shortened travel fin, Aqua Lung built the Hot Shot with big-fin technology distilled into a blade sized for carry-on luggage. A supple foot pocket is made for bare feet, and the low-profile Comfo-strap stretches for a perfect fit, eliminating the bulk of buckles. The real backbone of the fin is Power Band technology, which loads energy on the power stroke of the kick and then releases it for maximum propulsion."

During the summer Martin Škurla has developed support for the Neo4j graph database in the Gephi visualization and exploration platform. This Google Summer of Code project is now approaching its finish.
The basic idea of the project is twofold:
- Users of Neo4j get better visualization support
- Users of Gephi can work with larger graphs
The graph visualization can give you output like this:
Martin just published an article summarizing the project, head over and read it! For the future development of the Neo4j plugin, there's a survey where everyone has the chance to give feedback on what features they want to use.
To try it out, download NetBeans 6.9 and use it to build and execute the source code (Gephi depends on the NetBeans platform version 6.9). To check out the source, make sure to have Bazaar installed, and then do:
bzr checkout lp:~bujacik/gephi/support-for-neo4j
Finally, you're welcome to discuss the plugin on the Neo4j mailing list and in the Gephi forums.
Update: See the comments for information on configuring NetBeans to build Gephi!

What was the greatest thing about the 40th Telluride Film Festival?
There are a lot of alternative answers to choose from: the fact that the TFF is stronger than ever in its 40th year, both a bigger player on the world cinema's stage and a better experience for passholders; the fact that the festival opened a terrific venue this year in the Telluride Town Park Pavilion, creating its fourth large venue and spreading out the audience; the fact that the festival is evolving into something subtly different than what it has been in the past, but something even more enjoyable and important; the fact that, as has been the case the last forty years, terrific movies premiered here once again; the upgrade in food at the festival feeding events….
Or could it be that this year the festival demonstrated that five days are better – which is to say much better – than four?
I don't really want to pressure the festival directors to step up to a five-day festival into the future, but…they really should give it serious consideration. How better can they embed the growing prestige and sheer pleasure of the festival into its basic structure?
I understand that the festival directors feel that the fifth day this year put an enormous strain on them and their staff. But that fifth day came the same year that they created the new Werner Herzog Theatre in Town Park, so it won't be as stressful next year if they step up to it. I say, add the fifth day and increase the size of the staff, giving staff more time off to see movies, relieving staff stress; but don't add more programs, so that staff plus passholders plus sponsors and guests add up to a less frenetic festival than the traditional four event.
Over five days, everyone who attends the festival will feel less pressure to catch four or five movies a day, and feel will freer to take a hike, eat dinner at one of Telluride's fine restaurants with friends, or, even, take a nap or sleep in late. Because they will still be able to see most of the programs they most want to see. And one of the subtle changes in the festival in recent years has been a growing emphasis on parties and food and socializing outside a theater. A five-day festival would allow that to deepen.
I have now attended more than half of the forty Telluride Film Festivals that have taken place (though I can't offer an accurate count). I've loved each in its own way. But for me this was the most enjoyable, and I do believe the main reasons were the Herzog and the extra day. The movies that come here are not possible to rank from one year to the next. That's because the magic of the festival is that it's not about any single program a particular passholder might see in any given year, but is, rather, about a unique narrative that unfolds for each person who is here over a period of intensely stimulating days. Each year, for each person, that narrative is different.
As it happens, the two programs I most enjoyed this year were Slow Food Story and Inside Llewyn Davis. Slow Food Story was not seen by a large number of those in attendance, but it expressed an idea that to me was profound: Yes, we can change the world by slowing down and enjoying our lives. To say that the personal is political need not be trite. When I think about my own life, nothing over the last 60 years has changed more than how I eat. The food I enjoy and eat daily is not only far more delicious and healthier than what I ate 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago, but it's better for Planet Earth as well. So if we should slow down in how we eat, mindfully and convivially, as Slow Food Story demonstrated, shouldn't we also slow down in how we attend the Telluride Film Festival? I rest my case: five days of the TFF is fundamentally more enjoyable than four!
The fact that Inside Llewyn Davis spoke to me more than some of the other hits of the festival is more of a commentary on how the festival can deliver something satisfying for most of us who attend, even if it's not the same thing to each of us. My son, Carlos, had no interest in catching Inside Llewyn Davis – set in the folk era? – even though I'd like to think he would have enjoyed it if I'd been able to talk him into it, and he would have recognized why I liked it, but he loved Palo Alto, which I didn't race to see, and might not have liked as much, but would have, hopefully, understood. This is as it should be. We don't all need to respond the same way to the same artistic expressions, given our various tastes and life experiences. The TFF somehow manages to meet most of us who attend where we are, which is to say a place where we are transfixed, entertained, and inspired.
Again, I'll argue it works better, a lot better, over five days than over four.
The TFF has been so adept at staying abreast of changes in the film industry that it is more important culturally than ever, which is another reason to give it another day to work its magic. Movies now fall into one of two categories: the blatantly commercial and the aspirational, or artistically ambitious. Those in the latter category need to be launched just so to have a chance of finding their audience, and that is why the TFF is increasingly important. For proof, look no further than the fact that four of the last five Oscars for Best Picture went to movies that had their U.S. premiere here. Far removed from the expense, pressure and hype of larger festivals, filmmakers can find a receptive audience here, and from here they might just break out.
So, esteemed festival directors, Tom Luddy, Gary Meyer and Julie Huntsinger, and esteemed TFF Board of Directors, I know that right now, just a few days after the festival ended, you are tired and absorbing many lessons from the last five days. I know that I am not nearly as aware of logistical and financial factors as you are. Maybe, for some reason I don't understand, five days a year won't be workable. But please don't rule it out. Amortize all you do every year over that extra day: use the venues a day longer; let Telluride bask in the glow a day longer; allow passholders to get just a little more out of their passes and more value out of the expense they've incurred to get here; allow your audience to relax just a bit more. Times have changed, the TFF has changed, and thanks to you, many of us are beginning to understand the imperative to slow down to more fully enjoy the wonderfully rich experience you provide us.

In May, 1945, the writer who had seen Army combat in Europe, was sent to Camp Crowder, Mo. There he was subjected to a series of annoying incidents by a young Jewish trainee named Grossbart, & his two friends. Grossbart felt that the writer, a sargeant, should see to it that they got all the privileges they were entitled to as Jews. If the writer ever protested they called him an anti-Semitic Jew. When the three of them deliberately lied to him, at Grossbart's instigation, the writer got even, by seeing to it that the young soldier's orders were changed so that he went to the Pacific with the rest instead of to N.J. He had pulled strings to get to N.J. & the writer deliberately foiled his plans.

Can The Government Outlaw Off-Roading?
Recreational wheelers are difficult to stereotype. They come from all crawls of life, with independent-mindedness a common denominator. Organizing people who like to think for themselves can be challenging. This makes the opposition's agenda easier to achieve. The so-called environmental groups are better organized and funded than the various, sometimes factionalized, 4x4 organizations. At the government level, the loudest group often appears to be the majority. Our silent majority is running out of time to ensure four-wheeling's future.
The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) has lobbied for automotive rights for decades. Founded in 1997, the SEMA Action Network (SAN) actively recruits automotive enthusiasts to help raise the motorized majority's profile and voting power. Here's an overview of SAN's top issues that affect 4x4 enthusiasts.
Specialty Equipment Legislation
"Street" compliance affects everyone who wants to run plates on their 4x4s. Safety is generally the bottom line, but legislation is often biased toward original equipment. (Coincidentally or not, the government was still General Motors' majority owner at press time.)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) maintains the right to set, enforce, and investigate safety performance standards for vehicles and required safety equipment. NHTSA regulations-such as the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)-affect how aftermarket products that replace required equipment are produced, sold, and used. NHTSA is supposed to base its regulations solely on a product's performance, not its design. However, NHTSA regulations and state vehicle codes aren't always based on physics and real-world data. When proposed laws seem arbitrary and unreasonably restrictive, SEMA lobbies to defeat them. The most-scrutinized 4x4-relevant components are currently lighting, tires and wheels, suspension, and bumper/frame height.
Lift Laws
We're in the middle of an east-to-west, state-by-state series on lift laws. (We'll resume next month with the Midwest.) In the meantime, "monster trucks" on the road incite negative publicity from legislators and the voting population at large. Knee-jerk lift or bumper/frame-height legislation is the unfortunate result. As our lift-law series shows, some states have highly restrictive vehicles codes, ones that often defer to the automakers. (Maine requires the overall diameter of the properly mounted and inflated tire to be "within 2 inches of the range of sizes recommended by the manufacturer for the model vehicle," among other criteria.) Suspension lift and height regulations are often so convoluted that aftermarket manufacturers, 4x4 enthusiasts, and state inspectors are confused about what's permissible.
SEMA lobbies legislators to base proposed laws on applicable engineering data and analysis. The underlying goal is allowing height modifications that are useful for on- and off-road applications. SEMA considers a study done in 1988 to be the most scientific yet because it included GM engineering analysis in addition to data from aftermarket manufacturers. The following guidelines were established as a result of the study.
|4,500 lb & under
|24 in
|4,501-7,500 lb
|26 in
|7,501-10,000 lb
|28 in
Bumper Heights (measured from the ground to the highest point on the bumper's bottom edge)
|4,500 lb & under
|24 in
|26 in
|4,501-7,500 lb
|27 in
|29 in
|7,501-10,000 lb
|28 in
|30 in
|4WD, dual-wheel trucks
|28 in
|31 in
Caveat language likely disqualifies "drop" bumpers (extension tubes or plates attached below the main bumper): "For any vehicle with bumpers or attaching components which have been modified or altered from the original manufacturer's design in order to conform with the maximum bumper requirements of this section, the bumper height shall be measured from a level surface to the bottom of the vehicle frame rail at the most forward and rearward points of the frame rail." So, lowering brackets like the ones sometimes included with body-lift kits likely wouldn't legally alter bumper height.
Our cursory check of vehicles with 35- to 37-inch tires showed that all easily complied with the frame standards, but some slightly exceeded the bumper limits. The underlying goal here should be to limit the disparity among light-duty trucks'/SUVs' bumper heights and those of cars. (SEMA stresses that bumper heights vary widely among vehicles on automakers' assembly lines.)
We foresee some enthusiasts bending their frame horns to comply. Structurally sound aftermarket bumper-lowering methods would likely be far safer than DIY torch, welder, or Porta Power frame modifications. SEMA might want to revisit this paragraph in the proposed legislation.
Tennessee offers this possible clarification: "In the case of a four-wheel-drive vehicle where the 31-inch [bumper] limitation is exceeded, the vehicle will comply with this section if the vehicle is equipped with a drop bumper. The drop bumper must be bolted and welded to the frame of the vehicle and be made of a strength equal to a stock bumper."
Also, SEMA opposes mandatory tire-height regulations. Instead, bumper and frame heights functionally determine tire height. This supports the current trail trend of the largest possible tires with the least amount of lift to keep a vehicle's center of gravity as low as possible. Enlarged wheelwells are the key.
SEMA also has a Suspension Task Force comprised of key employees from its member manufacturers. This group worked with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to develop "Considerations for Suspension Modification." The results help educate aftermarket manufacturers and tire companies on how various modifications mesh with modern on-board systems such as electronic stability control (ESC).
"Since its introduction, SEMA has regularly recommended and supported the [1988] model to states promulgating raised vehicle standards," said Steve McDonald, SEMA's vice president of government affairs, who is based in Washington, D.C. "We support the model because it was founded on comprehensive OEM engineering analysis and data and because it allows a reasonable opportunity for utility and performance enhancing modifications. When adopted and enforced, the model prohibits unreasonable height modifications. This would include the type of 'monster truck' modifications which have been identified as a leading bane of state regulators."

Manti Te'o tells ESPN that acquaintance confessed to bizarre 'dead' girlfriend hoax
Mike Stobe/Getty Images
Heisman finalists linebacker Manti Te'o of the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish speaks during a press conference prior to the 78th Heisman Trophy Presentation at the Marriott Marquis on December 8, 2012 in New York City.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o insisted he had no role in the bizarre hoax involving his "dead" girlfriend and told ESPN on Friday night that he was duped by a person who has since apologized to him.
In an off-camera interview Friday with ESPN, Te'o said Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a 22-year-old acquaintance who lives in California, contacted him two days ago and confessed to the prank. Deadspin.com first exposed the scheme on Wednesday and indicated Tuiasosopo was involved in it.
"I wasn't faking it," ESPN quoted Te'o as saying during the 2 1/2 hour interview. "I wasn't part of this. When they hear the facts they'll know. They'll know there is no way I could be a part of this."
Te'o said he first met Tuiasosopo in person after the Southern California game in November. According to the linebacker, Tuiasosopo told him he was the cousin of Lennay Kekua, the woman who Te'o believed he had fallen for through Internet chats and long phone conversations. But Kekua never existed.
The undefeated Fighting Irish take on the disappointing Trojans tonight at USC
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
USC lined up against Notre Dame in 2011.
The Fighting Irish couldn't have asked for a sweeter Saturday night in Southern California. Notre Dame comes into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a perfect 11-0 record, ranked number one in the country, and their most hated rival is battered and bruised and minus its starting quarterback.
In a rivalry that goes back to 1926, that scrappy bearded leprechaun with clenched fists is drooling at the chance to use the USC Trojans as the exclamation point to its dream season.
But on any given Saturday any team can win, even the 7-4 Trojans, who are coming off a disappointing defeat to UCLA.
So what do you think? Can USC provide a devastating upset and ruin its rival's perfect season? Or will it be an embarrassing blow-out?
Poll: Will USC beat Colorado by more than 41 points?
Jonathan Moore/Getty Images
The USC Trojans enter the field before a game against the California Golden Bears at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on September 22, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. USC won 27-9.
The most interesting part of today's game between the 11th ranked USC Trojans against the flailing Colorado Buffaloes is to see how wide the margin of victory may be.
Southern Cal, who has only lost one game this season, is favored by 41 points against the Buffs - who have only won one game.
The other sideshow to the game will be that the Stanley Cup will be in attendence at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum and will be part of the halftime festivities.
So the question is: will the Trojans run up the scoreboard and beat the Buffaloes by more than 41 points or will the game be closer?
Who has a better chance of winning today: USC or UCLA?
Andres Aguila/KPCC
The Rose Bowl will host the UCLA - Houston game Saturday night.
The second-ranked USC Trojans travel north to battle the Stanford Cardinal this afternoon in what promises to be a excellent Pac-12 matchup.
Meanwhile down in Pasadena Brett Hundley and his 22nd-ranked UCLA Bruins host the winless Houston Cougars at the Rose Bowl tonight.
Both USC and UCLA are undefeated in the young season and they each have something to prove.
Trojan quarterback Matt Barkley has never beaten Stanford and the Bruins would like to confirm that they deserve to be a ranked NCAA football team.
Las Vegas considers UCLA a 17-point favorite over Houston and USC is an 8-point favorite despite playing on the road.
So even though both teams are predicted to win, do you think they will?
Junior Seau left no note in apparent suicide

Junior Seau
No suicide note was left by Junior Seau, the former USC All-American and 12-time NFL Pro Bowl linebacker, found dead by his girlfriend Wednesday morning at his Oceanside home, say authorities.
No foul play was suspected, and though few details have been released, police say the athlete appears to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
"Life-saving efforts were performed, however they were not successful," said Oceanside Police Chief Frank McCoy, reports NBC LA. "This case at this point is being investigated as a suicide," McCoy continued.
His mother Luisa Seau said she was in church when she heard the news, "I pray to God, 'Take me, take me, leave my son.' But it's too late," she told reporters at an impromptu press conference.
A neighbor said he saw Seau smiling and happy and playing the ukulele on his balcony just two days ago, notes the L.A. Times.

Budget Accommodation South America Peru Arequipa
Arequipa is Peru's second largest city (with about 900,000 inhabitants) and is located in the dusty foothills of the Andes on the Pan-American Highway. Its beauty lies in its breath taking architecture, displaying some spectacular examples of Spanish colonial work.

This budget stay gives you a large, basic room, a hot shower, and some English channels on cable. The location is outstanding - right next to the Santa Catalina Monastery, and a super short stroll to the main square. All the staff were very sweet, but communication seems a bit touch and go if you don't know Spanish. ... more
This is a fairly centrally located hotel. You can walk to the main square, places of interest, and good restaurants in a few minutes. Comfortable and relaxed. Staff are very pleasant to deal with. Breakfast staff in particular were very sweet. A good find for a stay in a lovely city. ... more
It's a nice place to stay with really good service. It's 4 blocks away from main square so don't expect extreme silence. The room was big and so was the bathroom. Clean and with a lot of light. The price is good and the service, I repeat, was really good. ... more
