The "Christian" vote might just be enough to get Perry the nomination. Romney is held in suspicion by these folks because they consider Mormonism a cult and not real Christianity. And then there is Romneycare, the father of Obamacare. Ron Paul's pacifist streak doesn't sit well with this Old Testament blood 'n' guts Israel-first warmonger crowd. And Michelle Bachmann, well, as much as they love her, let's face it, according the the Good Book testicles are ordained to be The Boss and ovaries "submissive", so, given the choice, a good "Christian" has got to go for the dude. And then he gets to go mano a mano with Barack "Milquetoast" Obama. Talk about being a lucky SOB.
Rick Perry: One Lucky Son of a B*tch
Let's get one thing straight from the start. Gov. Rick Perry is no blow-dry George Bush clone, even though he owes his stellar political career about 75 percent to Bush and maybe 25 percent to Osama bin Laden. So what is the political profile of the Texas Governor, now officially in the race as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination? A Rasmussen poll this week of likely Republican primary voters, has him with 29-percent support, against his current rivals, Romney with 18 percent, and Bachmann with 13 percent.
Inside Texas, he's the most successful politician in the entire history of the state. George Bush lost his first congressional race. In a lifetime career of ten elections since 1984, Perry has never lost one. He has an acute sense of political timing. His defeated opponents readily attest to Perry's relentless self-discipline as a campaigner, his skills at raising campaign cash — he already has a huge prospective war chest for his first national foray. They all emphasize the fatal consequences of underestimating him.
But above all, Rick Perry is one lucky son of a b*tch. Not just once or twice, but at almost every decisive fork in the road fate has given him a benign tap on the shoulder. Napoleon said, "give me lucky generals." Looking at Perry's CV, he'd have made him Grand Marshall of France on the spot.
In 1998, Perry ran for Lieutenant Governor. Victory would put the first Republican in the slot since Reconstruction. Bush was already planning his 2000 presidential run, which would mean quitting the gubernatorial chair. Bush had no desire to see a Democrat step up from the Lieut. Gov.'s office, and so, Karl Rove took a close strategic and tactical interest in Perry's bid. The Bush clan ran ads for Perry, though the latter's refusal to follow Bush's "big tent, compassionate society" message sowed the seeds for hostility between Perry and the Bush camp, which is still flaring. Rove is denouncing Perry's current onslaughts on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Perry was up against John Sharp, a capable Democrat and previously Texas comptroller of public accounts. Recently, Sharp recalled to Paul Burka of Texas Monthly:
"Running against Perry is like running against God. Everything breaks his way! Either he's the luckiest guy in the world or the Lord is taking care of him. Two weeks before the election, the largest flood of the century hit the Eighteenth District, which I'd represented in the state Senate. The flood inundated towns all along the Guadalupe River, with massive flooding in Gonzales, Cuero and Victoria, my hometown. No one thinks about voting when their house is flooded. I received 70 percent of the vote there, but of course, it was a record-low turnout. It's hard to get out the vote from a boat."
In 2000, fate tapped Perry on the shoulder again. In the wake of the big fix in Florida, Bush moved up to the Oval Office and Perry became governor. On Sept. 10, 2001, Bush was a failing president and Perry was far from strong. Amid the embers of the Towers, the Great War on Terror was on. Bush was now renascent and manly Republicanism was juicing up Perry.
And now Perry, an early communicant with the Tea Party, has the luck of facing the unconvincing Mitt Romney and kookish Michele Bachmann.
All governors running for the presidency in an economically successful state claim that responsibility for this good fortune is theirs alone. If times are hard, Washington D.C. gets the blame. No Republican is going to credit big government with anything but baneful intrusion and failure.
Perry's no exception. Of course he invokes low regulation and the entrepreneurial powers of the untrammeled market for Texas's budgetary virtue since the great crash of 2008.
All nonsense. Texas has been on the same tack for at least half a century, most of it under conservative Democratic leadership. Perry, contrary to the necessary pledges, has raised taxes and increased Texas's debt.
When billions in federal stimulus money came through, Perry used the money to mop up red ink in the annual budget. Last week, Jared Bernstein, formerly Vice President Joe Biden's economic advisor, pointed out derisively that it was federally created public-sector jobs that have kept the state from serious unemployment in the downturn.
Some on the libertarian right view Perry with suspicion. They think he's a phony — and an undercover agent of the Bilderburg Conspiracy for world domination government. In 2007, he tried to force an executive order through that required sixth-grade girls in Texas to be vaccinated, with the consent of their parents, (withheld consent was to be a tough process) against the human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease that causes cervical cancer. Merck, a pharmaceutical giant was pushing the vaccine and Perry's former chief of staff was Merck's lobbyist. Ultimately, Perry's plan was beaten back, and he admits it was a mistake. It's one of the reasons that some people on the right think Perry is a phony, since the whole plan was redolent of nanny-state government.
This is just one opening for Bachman: Perry said at one point he was "fine" with New York state legalizing marriage between same-sex couples. He based this on his belief that the Tenth Amendment reserves for the states all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government in the Constitution. The religious right went crazy and Perry hastily backtracked saying that he favored a constitutional amendment outlawing same sex marriage and abortion.
Nor does the Tea Party right relish Perry's commendable support for the children of illegal aliens to attend Texas's state colleges and universities. "To punish these young Texans for their parents' actions is not what America has always been about," he told a New Hampshire paper this summer. In 2010, he criticized Arizona's immigration law saying, "it would not be the right direction for Texas." Another source of grave suspicion by the Tea Party right, Perry attended a 2007 Bilderburg conference, thus rendering himself in the eyes of the Tea Party, a pawn of secret world government.
Perry entered the race, intent on capturing the right-wing base and crushing Romney and Bachmann in South Carolina. This route is what essentially set McCain on the path to the GOP nomination in 2008. Hence, the Perry-hosted "The Response" — a national day of prayer, on August 6 at Reliant Arena that drew 30,000 Christians and was broadcast on cable Christian channels and the Internet nationwide, including in at least 1,000 churches. Hence, the cracks on the campaign trail at Bernanke and AGW.
The rhetorical lunges have drawn ridicule from The New York Times, pushing Perry towards the kook exit. But at this stage in the game, measured approval in The New York Times is not exactly what Perry is after, any more than is Bachmann or the man closer to the libertarian right's heart than Perry, namely Ron Paul.
The big question is whether Perry, having won the right, can sidle back to capture the necessary independents and young folk who bet on Obama in 2008. Reagan managed it in 1980, amid widespread disappointment and disgust with Jimmy Carter. Is there disappointment and disgust with Barack Obama? The president has plunged down in the most recent polls, now at a 50.3 percent disapproval rating. There are still around 30 million Americans without work, or enough work. Unemployment is above 7 percent and likely to stay that way, and the wisdom is that no president presiding over such stats can hope for a second term.
Who knows, maybe fate will step forward once again and give Perry one more tap on his lucky shoulder. Thus far his luck has held.


text: 373 AXNT20 KNHC 172328 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 805 PM EDT SUN JUL 17 2016 Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the Equator to 32N. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis. Based on 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2315 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave is in the eastern tropical Atlantic with axis from 17N32W to 04N32W, moving westward at 20-25 kt. This wave is embedded in a 700 mb trough as indicated in model fields. SSMI total precipitable water imagery also shows a very moist area around the wave. Isolated moderate convection is over the southern portion of the wave from 02N-10N between 25W-38W. A tropical wave is in the central tropical Atlantic with axis from 19N39W to 04N40W, moving westward at 25-30 kt. This wave is embedded in a 700 mb trough as indicated in model fields, and is accompanied by a modest surge in moisture. Scattered moderate convection is inland from 04N-07N between 53W-57W. Scattered showers are elsewhere within 90 nm of the wave axis. A tropical wave is in the western Caribbean with axis from 17N79W to 05N72W, moving westward at 15-20 kt. This wave is embedded in subtle 700 mb trough and is in a surge of deep moisture that covers the southern Caribbean Sea. Clusters of scattered moderate to isolated strong convection are over the SW Caribbean, and Central America from Panama through Nicaragua from 04N-14N between 76W-86W. ...ITCZ/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends across Africa into the east tropical Atlantic near 14N17W and continues to 08N30W. The ITCZ begins west of a tropical wave near 07N34W and continues to the coast of South America near 05N52W. Scattered showers are within 120 nm of the ITCZ. ...DISCUSSION... GULF OF MEXICO... A surface ridge extends along 30N from N Florida to E Texas. Gentle breeze winds from the SE cover the Gulf. An upper level high is centered over central Mississippi near 33N90W. Easterly upper level flow is over the Gulf of Mexico with considerable upper level moisture. Clusters of scattered moderate convection are over most of the Gulf to include the northern Gulf States, Florida, W Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Expect little change in the surface flow and area of convection over the next 24 hours, while the upper level high moves west to eastern Oklahoma. CARIBBEAN SEA... A tropical wave is over the western Caribbean. See above. The surface pressure gradient between Atlantic ridging and lower pressures over Colombia supports fresh breeze to strong breeze tradewinds over the central Caribbean. A small upper level high is currently over the SW Caribbean near 13N79W. An upper level low is centered N of Puerto Rico near 20N67W with axis extending NW to the northern Bahamas. The upper level high is enhancing the convection over the SW Caribbean mentioned with the tropical wave. The upper level low is enhancing scattered moderate convection over Hispaniola, Cuba, and Jamaica. Expect over the next 24 hours for the tropical wave to move west with convection. Also expect the upper level high to move west to Nicaragua, while the upper level low moves west to eastern Cuba. ...HISPANIOLA... Clusters of scattered moderate convection are over Hispaniola due to diurnal heating, low-level moisture, and the upper level low. Expect similar convection over the next 24 hours. ATLANTIC OCEAN... Two tropical waves are over the tropical Atlantic. Please refer to the tropical waves section for more details. Patches of scattered showers are over the western Atlantic west of 64W to include the Bahamas. A large 1032 mb high is over the central Atlantic near 38N45W producing fair weather. Expect the tropical waves to be the dominate features in the tropical Atlantic over the next 48 hours. For additional information please visit http://www.hurricanes.gov/marine $$ FORMOSA

I have the good fortune to be responsible for setting up my Homeowner's Association website for our condo community.
I've got WP running and have set up the public, static website but I need a separate area where the board members can make posts and comments that the rest of the community can't see.
I would like the board members to be able to log in, post any content they want, have access to documents they need or post for one another, and also be able to make public posts for the rest of the community which show up on the front page, if they desire.
Since I'm new to WP and websites in general, what would be a simple solution for these basic needs listed above?
Thanks in advance!

This collection features such stories as "Passenger Train Number 9"; "The Little People"; "The Phantom Rider of the Confederacy"; "The Demon of Wizard Clip"; "Room for One More"; "Tavern of Terror"; "The Surrency Ghost"; "The King's Messengers"; "The Haunted Gold Mine"; "The Singing River"; "The Gray Lady"; "Railroad Bill"; and "The Haunted Car".
To her group of classic stories, Mrs. Roberts has added three new tales about the Carolina coastal areas. The mountains, Piedmont, Eastern Carolina, and the Outer Banks all provide settings for the unique and haunting accounts found in this book. Six of the stories take place in the Outer Banks - a particularly inspiring location and the perfect place to meet the ghost on Blackbeard's last voyage.
With two biological sons and a promising career, Coleman Carter seems set to fulfill his promise as a resourceful trial lawyer, devoted husband, and dutiful father until his wife, Elizabeth, champions their adoption of a Korean orphan. This seemingly altruistic mission estranges Coleman's conservative parents and demands that he now embrace the unknown as fully as he has always entrenched himself in the familiar.
The stories in this book are based upon actual events. During the course of her research into some of South Carolina's classic tales, Nancy Roberts heard accounts of happenings in the recent past and even the present day. They're all here: from the famous Gray Man of Pawleys Island who warns of coming storms to the ghost of the poor fellow whose small plane went down in the 1950s near Walhalla, leaving him to forever hitchhike Highway 107.
Few events have sparked more legends and stories of the supernatural than America's Civil War. The accounts of gallantry and heroism have spread far and wide. Nancy Roberts grew up listening to her father's stories of the War Between the States, and she trekked over many battle sites with him during her childhood. After reading about General Joshua Chamberlain's supernatural experience at the Battle of Gettysburg, Roberts began to collect tales of the blue and gray and write them down.
This collection of supernatural tales includes "The Talking Corpse"; "The Hound of Goshen"; "The Ring"; "The Phantom Rider of Bush River"; "The Witch Cat"; "The Gray Man"; "Tsali, the Cherokee Brave"; "The Ghost of Litchfield"; "City of Death"; "Treasure Hunt"; "House of the Opening Door"; "The Ghosts of Hagley"; "Return from the Dead"; "Whistle While You Haunt"; "The Brown Mountain Lights"; "Alice of the Hermitage"; "The Night the Spirits Called"; and "Swamp Girl".
Roberts writes stories from a wide variety of locations: "Night of the Hunt" in Hendersonville, North Carolina; "Return of the Bell Witch" in Adams, Tennessee; "The Shenandoah Stage" in New Market, Virginia; "Chain Gang Man" in Decatur, Alabama; "Fort Mountain" in Fort Mountain, Georgia; "Laura" in Campbellsville, Kentucky; and "The Coming of the Demon" in Middleway, West Virginia.
She could handle the nightmares. Not the terrifying visitation. Summoned by her father to Elk Park, Colorado, Melinda Maxwell hopes to finally learn why he cut off all contact with his family and became a "monster", as Melinda calls him. Four days into her stay, and frustrated by his silence, she hires genealogist Anna Denning to locate her long-lost grandparents. Already immersed in trying to locate the family of a murdered man for the Elk Park Police, Anna agrees to the challenge.
George Plimpton was no ordinary writer slaving in a garret. He knew everyone, corresponded with everyone, and traveled the world collecting all manner of ephemera. When he died he left behind an enormous stash of literary miscellany - letters from Hunter Thompson, postcards from Raymond Carver, marked-up book drafts, slides from a Playboy shoot... What to do with it all?
The loss of a loved one is tough enough, but when Regina Richards experiences the loss of her spouse of many decades, little does she expect the extraordinary sequence of events about to unfold. First, there is the mysterious whistling that comes from out of nowhere, followed by the black patent-leather dancing shoes that miraculously appear in her bedroom. (She doesn't dance.) And then come the visits from her dearly departed husband, to explain what it is like on the other side. Surely this would be enough for anyone to begin to think they were losing it.

Now, because she believes she is dying, Helen wants to expose all that has been concealed, when she decides to celebrate the Chinese New Year by unburdening herself of everybody's hidden truths - her own and Winnie's, as well as the dreadful news that Winnie's daughter, Pearl, has been keeping from her mother.
Nathan should not get in the truck. That he knows for sure, but something animalistic, something sexy, something almost magnetic draws him to the mysterious, brooding man who beckons for him to get in, and so he does. What ensues is a night Nathan will never forget, filled with intrigue, passion, and mind-blowing dominant sex only an alpha werewolf shifter can give - a night Nathan soon finds he was destined to experience. But could it lead to true love, or will Nathan be tossed aside like he has been by so many men before?
Buck promised to protect him, he promised to keep him safe, but now Nathan isn't so sure. They're coming, that he knows for sure. And while the fight for possession over him looms, Nathan finds himself in a fight for his life as the man who has marked him for love swears to keep him from harm.

Reve and her husband are world-famous Las Vegas illusionists. They have three lovely young daughters, a beautiful home, and what seems like a charmed life. But Reve's world is shattered....
"Nice generational witch tale"
The novel opens on the eve of World War II. In the mountain village of Half-Village, a young man nicknamed the Pigeon, under the approving eyes of the entire village, courts the beautiful Anielica Hetmanska. But the war's arrival wreaks havoc in all their lives and delays their marriage for six long years.
"didn't know what to expect"
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).
"Good Performance"
Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2016. It is April 1975, and Saigon is in chaos. At his villa, a general of the South Vietnamese army is drinking whiskey and, with the help of his trusted captain, drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. The general and his compatriots start a new life in Los Angeles, unaware that one among their number, the captain, is secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong.
"The Great Vietnamese Novel(Port)Nguyen's Complaint"
When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity.
"Brutal, But Beautiful"
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
"Gothic Horror Never Sounded So Good"
When a forgotten journal materializes decades after Drake Ramsey's father vanished in the Amazon jungle, Drake decides to follow in his footsteps and search for the legendary treasure of the Inca empire hidden in the lost Inca city of Paititi.
Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer is close to "aging out" out of the foster care system. A community-service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping Molly out of juvie and worse.... As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly learns that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance.
"Moving story of sharing and transformation."
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, serving in the household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife. She may go out once a day to markets whose signs are now pictures because women are not allowed to read. She must pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, for in a time of declining birthrates her value lies in her fertility, and failure means exile to the dangerously polluted Colonies. Offred can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost even her own name....
"My Top Pick for 2012"
Hailed by The New York Times as "a marvel of storytelling", The Things They Carried's portrayal of the boots-on-the-ground experience of soldiers in the Vietnam War is a landmark in war writing. Now, three-time Emmy Award winner-Bryan Cranston, star of the hit TV series Breaking Bad, delivers an electrifying performance that walks the book's hallucinatory line between reality and fiction and highlights the emotional power of the spoken word.
"Heavy Load"
Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
"A great listen"
Based on the best-selling, award-winning graphic novel series Locke & Key - written by acclaimed suspense novelist Joe Hill (NOS4A2, Horns) and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez - this multicast, fully dramatized audio production brings the images and words to life.
"OMG - This production surpasses all expectations!"
The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.
A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 - "Q" is for "question mark". A world that bears a question....
"Slow, Strange, and (ultimately) Satisfying"
What's a little arson between friends? Undercover CIA agent Fortune Redding spent her first three weeks in Sinful, Louisiana, dodging insults, makeup advice, guard dogs, bullets, and Deputy Carter Trahan, both professionally and personally. But just when she thinks things are going to settle down in the small bayou town, someone sets her friend Ally's house on fire. Carter, who'd just started pursuing Fortune on a personal basis, goes back into cop mode and admonishes her to stay out of his investigation.
"One of the best series I have ever read"
Graham Greene's evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
"Colin whispers in my ear, and I melt"
Former Broadway dancer and current agoraphobic Billy Shine has not set foot outside his apartment in almost a decade. He has glimpsed his neighbors--beautiful manicurist Rayleen, lonely old Ms. Hinman, bigoted and angry Mr. Lafferty, kind-hearted Felipe, and nine-year-old Grace and her former addict mother, Eileen. But most of them have never seen Billy. Not until Grace begins to sit outside on the building's front stoop for hours every day, inches from Billy's patio.
"Inspirational and humbling and awesome."
Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.
"The Best ever audio book"
Drake, Allie, and Spencer reunite in Emerald Buddha, the second Drake Ramsey adventure - a quest to locate the lost treasure of the Khmer Empire, secreted away in a hidden temple somewhere in Myanmar. But nothing is as it seems, and their archaeological expedition soon turns deadly when desperate factions target them in order to safeguard a secret that could topple the US government.
"More spying than treasurehunting"

Lab-worthy spectrum analyis for cheap.
Nearly 200 years ago, Joseph von Fraunhofer built the first spectroscope and saw dark lines in the spectrum of the sun. This led him to discover that you can determine the chemical elements in things by analyzing the light they give off. Each element has its own "signature" of lines in the light spectrum. The lines correspond to the characteristic wavelengths that electrons absorb and emit as they jump between lower- and higher-energy orbits around the atom's nucleus.
The first spectroscopes used glass prisms to split light into colors, but Fraunhofer found that an array of closely spaced wires had the same effect. Today we call these arrays of tiny slits diffraction gratings.
After these discoveries, spectrographs (the instruments used to record spectra) became a standard tool for analyzing the chemistry of almost anything, ranging from microscopic lab samples to faraway galaxies.
The primary element in both spectroscopes and spectrographs is a narrow slit oriented perpendicular to the direction in which the grating or prism spreads the light. As with a pinhole camera, the small aperture images the light source sharply along the spectrum's axis, which keeps the spread of wavelengths distinct. Each image of the slit, in a slightly different color, is arrayed across the field of view in a wide spectrum image. If any wavelength is brighter or dimmer than the rest, it shows up, respectively, as a bright or dark line in the spectrum.
Although spectroscopes have always been easy to make, a homebrew recording spectrograph presented more of a challenge. Building your own spectrograph meant using microcontrollers and stepper motors to move diffraction gratings past a light sensor — many were planned, but few were actually built.
Today, digital cameras and online tools can turn a simple spectroscope into a laboratory-quality, high-resolution spectrograph. All it takes is a few plumbing parts and other inexpensive materials and less than an hour at your kitchen table.

60 reviews | 4 out of 5
Purchased this one after stopping in a local bike shop. I REALLY wanted a trek and to buy local rather than a chain, but the most comparable bike started at $409, and I really didn't have the extra money. I got this for going to work and back almost daily (only 1.7 miles each way), but on the weekends for a little more exercise. I just took my first weekend ride for 15 miles and it did great. Bought mine online at walmart website for $20 less than their store sale price and got it shipped free to my house. It took only 3 days to get it which was faster than the site-to-store option. Had several compliments on the spokes being a different pattern than the normal boring style. Overall happy so far, and I've convinced 2 other coworkers to buy / get their bike out of the garage and start riding. Perhaps they were jealous...
Don't miss this bike! Looked at a Trek for many hundreds more and not as good in my opinion. I now have two of these Schwinn 700's and they are a dream to ride. My rides are 9-10 miles each way, so I burn calories and not $4 a gallon gas. The workmanship and welding is excellent, the seat is more than comfortable, 21 speeds are more than I need, and the "click shifting levers" are perfect. I am so glad I did not waste money buying a Trek....all that is, is a status symbol which means nothing to me. You can check this bike from one end to the other and not find a shortcoming. This hybrid is the best I have seen. If you ride a night, I would suggest a 1300 lumen light and rechargeable batteries. That light is "motorcycle" bright for safety. Only available on line for about $30. Other headlights are not so great. You will not be disappointed in the 700. Do it!
Ordered on Thursday and delivered to my door the following Saturday. How do they do that? The packaging was excellent. The bike was in a Schwinn box that was inside a shipping box. Plastic spacers were pressed onto the rear axle nuts to reduce the risk of crushing and bending the rear derailleur. Additional packaging measures were implemented to protect the bike. Maybe I was just lucky on this one, but the factory gear settings were perfect. I made a small adjustment on the brake pads to align them with the wheel rims. I am a casual biker, doing about 10 to 30 miles a week. I retired a 1980's Huffy 10 speed. The difference in technology is amazing. The Schwinn is lighter and smoother riding. The brakes work great. There is a world of difference in the gearing. Between the 21 gears and the trigger shifters, shifting is much easier and precise. I like the gear numbers on the shifters. Much easier than looking down at the sprockets to see what gear it's in. It's easy to maintain a consistent cadence with this gearing and shifters.
Bought from store stock. Nice riding bike. Only had to put air in the tires. I had to return the first one I picked up. Who ever assembled the bike fouled up the chain drive. If you buy in the store test it in all gears before you go to the register. Will save you the drives back to the store. Was an easy return and replacement. Employees were helpful an cooperative.
Got this bike so I could ride around the local lake (around 3 miles) some hills and rough terrain, some main road. Could not find anything wrong with the bike, looks great, rides smooth and met/exceeded expectations that I had. Could not go wrong with buying this bike. I am now looking into riding it TO work. Overall good bike and worth more than a Walmart price.
I just got the bike for Father's day and I like it! It was assembled at the store, correctly, and besides putting air in the tires, adjusting the seat height, and adjusting the angle of the gear shifters on the handlebars, required no other work. I just went for a long ride through our neighborhood with my daughters and it worked great, and was very comfortable. A similar bike, like a Trek, from a bike store would cost around $350 - $400, so this was a great deal for someone who wants a comfortable, well balanced, lightweight, and easy to use bike. For the reviewer that wasn't happy, given the amount of riding he was doing I think he will be happier longterm with a bike from the bike store. For the average guy who isn't planning to do serious biking, this bike is great!! I will probably get the girl's version for my wife very soon!!
Got a great sale price at local WalMart.Rode for about 50 miles and took to local shop for a quick tune up which is normal on all bikes. Rode the GAP trail from Pittsburgh Pa. to Cumberland Md. (140 miles) with no problems. Have about 350 miles on bike with still no problems. Great bike at any price..
There simply is not a better bike for the money. Spend three to four times more money than you would have paid for this bike and then ride this bike. You will take the expensive one back. What a value this bike is.
For the money, this is a good bike for very short trips and no more. (Max 3 miles at a time) I've owned this bike for a year (same model- Schwinn Avenue 700c Men's Hybrid, only difference is paint scheme). For the first 6 months, I would ride around the neighborhood once in a while and the bike was fine. About 4 months ago, I started riding with some friends more frequently. 10 miles during the week and 35 miles average on the weekend (every week). After the second week of this routine, the bike needed to be adjusted (big time $$). After this adjustment, the bike was only good for 4 weeks. Derailleur started jamming and front crank sounded like it was going to break (I'm not very technical) and it would not shift right. This weekend, in the middle of a 35 mile ride one of the gears broke and the back tire blew 4 spokes. (I.e. I was on foot after this). After this weekend, I am no longer putting any more money into this bike. (Giving it to goodwill) I'm on my way to purchase either a Cannondale or Trek from a local shop. When you think of what this bike costs, plus parts and service (if you are going to be more than a neighborhood rider), you're better off going to a local bike shop and getting a better bike from the very beginning. I am not a bike shop owner, I'm a financial advisor. Most local bikes shops include after the sale service for free (tuning and truing). Another lesson that I learned the hard way is that Schwinn (at least from a big box store) is not the same quality Schwinn that we were used to hearing about from 20 yrs ago. To add to this, just because a bike has Shimano parts does not mean it's a quality bike. Shimano is the largest maker of bike parts in the world. This means that it has an entire range of parts, from very poor quality to higher end ones. I would urge you to do your homework and get something that is going to fit your needs and budget. Think of the long term vs. how cheap it is to buy now (because that's exactly what I did a year ago). Hope this helps.
I ordered this bike online. I wanted to assemble this bike due to the number of bikes I seen inside several Walmarts. It seems that people don't pay attention to details or follow the instructions of the manufacture. This is a major safety issue. Poorly routed cables can and will cause a possible failure. Resulting in injury or worse. The bike went together very well. After checking the brakes, front and back dérailleurs, and the wheels. I spent the rest of my time installing all my accessories. Today I broke in this bike, a 12 mile ride on the Rails-For-Trails. The bike handled the ride very well. Gear shifting was very good, no problems as I went through every gear. I like the upward style of seating. Road use was even better. Sure there are better bikes out there, for the money this can't be beat. Again, these are not the old Schwinn's from the past. Still a good bike for the money.
This bike is value for money. I ordered and arrived on time to store. Store did the assembly and works fine for me after a month. Note that I am a casual rider and do not have much Technical expertise with Bike and I am enjoying my ride with no issues.
Great bike for the money...actually FANTASTIC bike for the money! I opted to assemble the bike myself and the brake assemblies do require a bit of tweaking. Most of it comes pre-assembled and the job doesn't take long at all. If you want a premium bike, go spend $800-$1000 if you have it. I doubt it will do much more then this bargain!!
Less than half of the price of bikes you would get from the local bike shop. If you are going to ride everyday for distance, pay the money to by the brand name. This is a good bike for 2-5 miles, and will likely last 2-4 yrs, but no set up on hardware, and the parts/frame are not f the quality you expect form the bike shop. I did a month of research, but don't ride enough to justify the better bike. The hybrid is the way to go, the reviews of this type of bike are spot on.
I did a lot of research for a bike I could comfortably ride to work and back (about 3 miles). I finally decided on the Schwinn 700c and couldn't be happier. It's definitely higher quality than some of the cheapos out there and I really like the looks. I've been riding this for a couple weeks and love it so far.
I have ridden this bike around my town for about 3 weeks now. I have put around 70 Miles on it so far (5-20 Miles on a nice day.) It gets me around town quickly, for a good price. I got it on sale for around $160. It shifts gears with one click of the gear changer, very nice derailleurs. I am 15 Yr's, 6" 1/2 tall at 150 LBS. I would recommend this bike to an everyday rider.
Assembly was easy.
All things pretty solid for a bike in the $200 range. Two minor issues:
1) Rear wheel is slightly "off". It's most noticeable when I'm going faster than ~15mph, and i get slowed down by it.
2) The front derailleur has issues getting into 3rd gear if the rear is already in 6th or 7th. I believe both of these issues can be addressed by bringing the bike to a shop to get "tuned", but that would add >25% of the cost to the bike.
I read the reviews and got this bike, well I meant to get the brown version with a rear rack already installed, but went with this one instead when I got to the store. Keep in mind this is a Walmart bike not a professional $500+ touring cycle like some of the people posting reviews always forget. Right off the bat it seemed decent in the store, I later realized it needed some minor tweaks, which with its setup weren't really rocket science. The clerk who put it together had the handle bars slightly off, and the seat was just enough slanted I didn't notice it till its maiden voyage. I picked up a bell multi tool, basically a Swiss army knife of allan wrenches etc that most bikes used, and easily did any minor adjustments with just that. The tire pressure seems to not want to go above 30 on mine for some reason, well not stay above it for long, could be the route I use is awfull for biking so I spend a good half mile in gravel; min pressure on the tire however is 50, so if I don't check it before a ride I find myself shattered when I pass over the canal near my house, which isn't that steep of a grade. I have since put a decent amount of cash into it, nothing like a tuning just lights, water bottle holder, lock etc and have yet to regret anything other then thinking on that first ride that I could 2.5 miles after not riding a bike in over 12 years.. big mistake. Like I mentioned before I check it over every time it leaves the garage, knowing full well with my first motorcycle, car, etc simply doing that can vastly improve a vehicles life. Keep in mind I am no mechanic, but after fixing a slipped chain on a motorcycle (not a bicycle, but similar in principle when chain driven) not to mention driving it into the ground the first 6 years of my licensed life, I know a thing or too about minor adjustments, and got an idea of what something should look like. In conclusion this bike still wears me out, but I am slowly mastering it, and it runs nicer now then when I took it out of the store last month. Just remember if your not gonna buy the more expensive, don't expect professorial endurance, and never take it for granted, no matter how great it feels that first month. Never neglect the once over, and the basic maintenance, it always comes back to bite you, its easier to notice a potential problem early on and end up with a spare, then pay for repairs, and still need a new one.
I have had this bike for a few months now. I am 6'5" tall and 245lbs. This bike is very comfortable and durable. I purchased a Raleigh bike from a bicycle shop for $350.00 a few years ago. That bike was not as good as this bike. I am glad I purchased this bike.
I bought this off the rack from my local store along with a ladies model for my wife and a bike trailer to do shopping for groceries and such. The service was great. Overall I have had no issues with the bike as far as general riding goes. It pulls the trailer quite smoothly up and over an overpass near me, loaded or unloaded. It was nice to see that the bike has trigger shifting and not the more common and cheaper twist grip style. The only problems I have had is that Wal-mart does not sell the tubes for this bike. Or if they do, they sell them with Presta valves instead of the more common Schraeder valves and non-puncture resistant. I had to go to a bike shop for to get the tubes that I wanted. Another problem I have had is that the kickstand housing broke after about a year of ownership and I have had to use one from a previous Wal-mart bike that I have since discarded (non-Schwinn). I ride this bike at least once a week to church and back and to do my shopping for groceries and such. Occasionally I will take a 20 - 30 mile trip, but not often. I would have also like to have seen fenders offered on this bike. I may buy some to put on at a later date, depending on if I haven't upgraded yet. If I was going to do some serious bike riding, I think I would spend the money and get something different such as a Trek, Cannondale or Specialized. I have had full suspension bicycles before and I would have liked to have seen the rear suspension with a spring on the frame instead of a shock on the seat post. I would not recommend this bike for off road usage, but for general usage on paved roads it is great. Schwinn is now owned as a subsidiary of Pacific Cycle (foreign, China I think) and is not the Schwinn that I grew up with as a kid.
was not exactly what i was expecting, once i got it adjusted to my build pretty good ride and comfortable wish there was a bigger frame available meaning the distance from seat to handle bars i am 6ft and 300lbs not fat just big, assembly was easy and i save couple hundred and more versus high end or custom bike

Hi all, I've recently upgraded to 3.0.1 along with upgrading all of my plugins (currently Twitter - the xhanch one, Slidepress and a Facebook like button).
Since the upgrade I've found my blog to be slower than normal (scrolling, not necessarily loading) and I've got a js error in my status bar. The error reads as follows......

Any light shed on this would be vastly appreciated - earlier I was also finding it difficult, and in some cases impossible, to open a "_BLANK" link in my blog posts - this *seems* to have cleared up for now!
Finally, I've re-downloaded the zip file and replaced the file in question, no mods (I don't really know javascript) and still the same problem.
Many thanks :)

The second edition of this book is a gratifying improvement on the first. The author has done himself credit and added to the value of this volume in several directions. In the part devoted to the heart and lungs he does not restrict himself, as in the first edition, to the diagnosis and treatment, but has amplified his work by adding the subjects of etiology, pathology, symptomatology and prognosis. The division on nose and throat diseases has been quite largely re-written. In passing from diseases of the lungs and heart to those of the nose and throat, one cannot escape the impression that the natural dissociation of these subjects should induce the author to produce two books instead of one. This would enable him to do greater justice to his acknowledged ability by treating in detail in one volume those diseases which lie in the province of the general practitioner,

There were quite good and easy to make. My husband and I did think the quartered potatoes were a bit large for using in wraps -- I think I'd dice them a little smaller next time. I made half a recipe for the 2 of us, and we each made one wrap, then just ate the rest over the rice with some of the sour cream and a little Trader Joe's India Relish. Plain yogurt would work well with this too (instead of the sour cream). Thanks for the interesting recipe!
Tasty and easy to make. I am so happy that you had instructions for making this without oil. I would have done it anyway, but it's nice to see it in a recipe. I used fat free plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Next time I would serve without the rice- just personal preference. This reminded me of samosas- a samosa wrap. Thanks for posting!

She brought the package to police who determined that it contained 1 pound of marijuana.
While police were trying to find the suspect, who had a similar name as the womans, police say he called the residence and said he was on his way to pick up his package.

I'm at my wits end! (Another sleep post) Please help!!
My precious boy arrived on 7/7/12 - We couldn't be happier!
Comments (7)
I'm so sorry! My baby started out as a pretty good sleeper, then around 3 months she turned into a night terror--maybe not quite as bad as yours, but for 3 months I didn't sleep more than 1 or 2 hours at a time. The exhaustion just makes everything feel impossible and helpless and desperate.
Does he sleep during walks or drives? Mine hates the car but a good walk puts her right out. So I started structuring her daytime naps around our midafternoon walk. That really helped her behavior during the day, but night-time has been a different matter altogether. I don't know if this will work for you, but we took the wall off our crib and pushed it up against my side of the bed. Then we slowly transitioned her into sleeping on "her side" in the crib. I'd pull her over to me and feed her when she fussed, then roll her back into the crib when she was done. It helped her get used to the idea of sleeping alone in the crib. Plus, you can barricade the open side during the day for safe napping.
Oh, I've also been known to let her nap in her carseat if she falls asleep there. My number 1 rule with an inconsistent sleeper: always let the sleeping baby lie.
Good luck mama, what you're going through is the WORST and I'm so sorry for you. Whatever you do, know you're a good parent doing the very best you can with a tough situation.
Sleep training really is for the benefit of the baby-a well rested baby is a happier baby. Sometimes you go through a few hard nights, but once you get past it you're all in a better place.
I totally feel your pain! My DD is 5.5 months and from 3.5 to 4.5 months I was so exhausted I could cry. She was waking up every 1-2 hours at night and I had to keep her nursing her back to sleep. It was mental torture. What worked? We went to her 4 month appt (when she was 4.5 months old) and our doc said let her cry it out. It was tough but it worked wonders. It sounds like your little one is overtired (with the fighting sleep) and he probably wants to sleep but doesn't quite know how to get himself there. I will be honest, it was a tough 3-4 days of hard, long crying. She still sometimes cries herself to sleep. But I have a video monitor and she's fine and she's been fed and is clean. So, she's just unwinding. Start with small intervals of time, check on him every minute, then 3, 5, 7 - whatever it takes to help you feel better. He will cry but he is just saying "Hey, what's going on here? I thought you were supposed to put me to sleep!". Soon enough you will be able to lay him down in the crib and he will fall asleep on his own. He will wake up happier and you will be a happier mommy! My DD now wakes only 1-2 times per night and puts herself back to sleep. I can't tell you how this changed my life. I would also check out the wonder weeks book, it explains fussy periods in your babys life and helps you cope! Hang in there - this too shall pass!!
My precious boy arrived on 7/7/12 - We couldn't be happier!
Ashley (27) + Cameron (27) = Elliot (07/22/12) Love my sweet baby girl!!!
My baby has only slept all night twice, I think. So I feel your pain. But yours sounds worse than mine, as my baby will go down to sleep drowsy but awake. His problem is he wakes up multiple times a night (we're down to 2 times in 12 hours, roughly, but a few weeks ago it was 5-6 times). We had to do CIO. Research it well to decide how you want to go about it and make sure you have support. You may also want to try to see if someone will come stay with you for a night (or two) before you start, so you can gear up for it b/c you will be tired for a week or so.
Love my July 2012 and March 2015 Boys!

In her first book, The Farmstead Creamery Advisor (Chelsea Green, 2010), Gianaclis presented would-be farmer-cheesemakers with a thorough guide to building and running a small, on-farm cheese business. In Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking (Chelsea Green, 2012) she provides guidance on the intricacies of cheesemaking science alongside considerations for preparing each type of cheese variety.
Gianaclis has been teaching all levels of cheesemaking for years, as well as speaking and teaching about the business of farmstead cheese, both at her family's licensed cheese dairy, Pholia Farm, and other venues, including the American Dairy Goat Association annual convention, the American Cheese Society Conference, and the Mother Earth News Fairs.
Gianaclis' aged, raw-milk cheeses have been recognized and applauded by America's foremost authorities on cheese. Pholia Farm cheeses have been included in many major books on artisan cheese, the latest being Max McCalman's Mastering Cheese, in which her Elk Mountain cheese is included in a short list of "rock stars of the 21st century." Her Hillis Peak cheese was the centerfold cheese in the Winter 2010 issue of Culture Magazine. She was one of the spotlighted cheesemakers in a recent publication Cheesemaking by Hobby Farms magazine for their Popular Kitchen Series

Utah Jazz: Jazz's Alec Burks has taken his game to new level of consistency
Tom Smart, Deseret News
DENVER — It's not a big secret that the Utah Jazz have played much better since rookie point guard Trey Burke made his NBA debut.
The guy with a similar last name might have benefited from Burke's presence more than any other player on the team — if for no other reason than that Alec Burks can now focus on being a shooting guard instead of a fill-in point guard.
"Point guard, you've got the whole team to run. I'm not really used to it," Burks said. "I'm just trying to help the team win. Shooting guard's my natural position."
Naturally, the results have been better, especially of late, now that Burks is in his most comfortable spot on the floor.
The 22-year-old Burks, now in his third NBA season, has taken his game to a new level of consistency in recent weeks. He's currently on the longest double-digit scoring streak of his career: eight games.
During that span, Burks has averaged 16.6 points in his sixth-man role. Though he's shooting just 42.7 percent for the season, Burks has made 48 of 92 field goals (52.2 percent), including a blistering 9 for 13 from 3-point range, during this strong stretch.
He's even averaging 2.8 assists, up from his season average of 2.5 per outing.
"I just feel like I'm being aggressive," Burks said. "The shots are falling and my teammates are looking for me. That's what's happening right now."
It certainly helps that he's playing 27 minutes per outing after averaging 15.9 mpg and 17.8 mpg first two years.
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said Burks is also beginning to evolve as a player, improving on how to pick his spots and not forcing quite as much as he's so often done in the past. It's paying off. Burks' scoring average is up to 12.5 points per game after being right around 7.0 ppg his first two seasons.
"He is an aggressive (player), by nature. He's an instinctive player," Corbin said. "Play with your instincts. You don't want to take that aggression away, but now tailor it."
At times, that means the Jazz are fine with Burks taking gambles on his shots early on in games. But Corbin wants him to keep learning when to be less risky in crunch time.
"It could be the difference between winning and losing a ballgame," Corbin said.
The Jazz are benefitting more often from Burks' ability to slash to the basket and to make some off-balance, acrobatic shots at times. The athletic 6-foot-6 guard sometimes appears to have better control of his body in the air than he does while dribbling and driving aimlessly on the court at times.
But when Burks does connect, his high-flying, twisting layups can be spectacular, H-O-R-S-E-like shots.
"He's a midair guy. He's athletic. He has a good body on him. He can see things," Corbin said. "He's one of those guys that when they get in the crowd or they're going into a crowd, he can see a little gap. He can make some tremendous shots off-balance with his left or right hand. He's athletic enough to get in the air to get around guys."
There are times you see why Burks used to tease 2012 Dunk Champ Jeremy Evans that he was going to dethrone him.
There are also times you wonder why Burks is challenging 6-11 LaMarcus Aldridge and 7-footer Robin Lopez on consecutive possessions, resulting in wild misses, when his never-ending confidence overrides reality.
"It's just reaction," Burks said of his midair abilities. "Things happen. If somebody cuts you off, you've got to do something else."

NEW BRUNSWICK Ś At this time last season, Jervon Gregory was watching his Ewing High teammates from the stands because he didnĺt make the team.
What a difference a year makes.
Gregory worked hard in the offseason and was rewarded by head coach Shelly Dearden with a spot on the roster.
Not only is he on the team, heĺs contributing.
Gregory came up with a huge blocked shot in the final minute, helping Ewing secure a come-from-behind 54-50 victory over Rutgers Prep Monday afternoon in the MLK Round Ball Classic at New Brunswick High.
ôLast year I was kind of timid,ö Gregory said. ôI didnĺt really know my body. I didnĺt really know my playing time. I just came back the next year at the tryouts and made it.ö
Deardenĺs happy to have him.
She talked with her coaching staff during tryouts about keeping another big body around in case of foul trouble.
ôHe came back and proved to us he should be out there,ö Dearden said.
The Blue Devilĺs victory was their 12th straight following an opening-night loss to Trenton.
Junior guard Trey Lowe scored 26 of his game-high 30 points in the second half and it was his free throws with 50.3 seconds left that gave Ewing (12-1) its first lead since early in the second quarter.
Lowe scored all 12 Blue Devil points in the third quarter and had 16 straight until Gregory converted a layup with 5:17 left in the fourth.
Ewing was 19 of 24 from the foul line with Lowe converting 13 of 14. His only miss Ś with 53 seconds remaining Ś left the Blue Devils down 50-49, but he made up for it by converting both free throws after Ewing stole the inbound pass.
The Argonauts (5-5) had a chance to win it but Gregory met Levi Holmes at the rim and rejected his layup attempt with eight seconds left.
ôI saw he came into the middle and they said, Ĺdo not commit the foul,ĺ so I just came over the top like I usually do and it ended up being a clean block,ö Gregory said.
ôHeĺs been stepping up a lot lately,ö Lowe said. ôAppreciate him for that.ö
Deon Hale made 3 of 4 free throws in the final eight seconds to seal the victory.
Nick Brooks paced Ruters Prep with 21 points and Holmes finished with 16.
Ewing won despite 16 of 62 shooting and 3 of 18 from behind the arc.
ôThey just donĺt give up,ö Dearden said. ôThatĺs the one thing about Ewing and the tradition that we kind of instill in them from the past. ů The tradition is to win. Find a way to win.ö
The Blue Devils have done that consistently during this winning streak.
ôThere are a lot of people saying that Ewing doesnĺt play a very good schedule,ö Lowe said. ôWe just played a very good team, coached by a very good coach and came up with the ĹW.ĺö
On Monday, they got a little help from a guy thatĺs happy to chip in any way he can.
ôTrey does what he does,ö Gregory said. ôHe helps us out, but we help him out, too. So Iĺm happy I was able to contribute.ö
