Central Park West was created by Darren Star, the man behind such hits as "Melrose Place" and "Sex and the City".
Perhaps the most sophisticated prime time soap ever made, Central Park West premiered on September 13, 1995. It aired Wednesdays from 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. With a cast headlined by former Oscar nominee Mariel Hemingway, Central Park West centered around the glamorous and exciting life for the staff of trendy magazine 'Communique', owned by Allen Rush (Ron Leibman), "the Darth Vader of publishing". Mariel Hemingway played the role of Stephanie Wells, the newly appointed editor-in-chief of 'Communique'. Central to the plot is the rivalry between Stephanie and Allen's stepdaughter Carrie Fairchild (Mädchen Amick), a scheming Generation-X bitch who does her best to seduce Stephanie's writer husband Mark Merrill (Tom Verica). The series followed several other ambitious New Yorkers, their love, treachery, hopes and dreams through thick and thin. One of the most notable being the evil and deceitful Australian bombshell Rachel Dennis (Kylie Travis), the new fashion editor at 'Communique'.
Stylish and with terrific dialogue, Central Park West was perfectly designed for the same young, fashion oriented Generation-X audience that had given "Melrose Place" such a warm welcome. Surprisingly, the show didn't deliever as good as expected and was taken off the air revamped and put back on the air during the summer of 1996. Mariel Hemingway had quit and the show now focused more on the older characters. CBS now aired two episodes a week and Gerald McRaney, Noelle Beck and film diva Raquel Welch joined the cast.
Well-cast, well-played, fast-paced and brilliant. Central Park West is one of the greatest soaps to have been shown on TV. Don't miss the opportunity to watch this show all over again if you can. It's well worth it.moreless

What happens when architecture is left unattended? From children's literature to popular films, creative minds have long dreamed up what might happen when lights go off, doors are locked, and people depart various spaces. The three artists presented in the Lizbeth and George Krupp Gallery through July 2016—Francis Alÿs, Simon Gush, and Hiraki Sawa—offer three distinct possibilities. They utilize diverse approaches (intervention, documentary, and imagination respectively) and a variety of filming locations (museum, office, home). In doing so, they expose what does (or could) happen while we are out, seizing upon fantasy, curiosity, and the video camera's ability to serve as remote eyes when our own cannot see.
The Krupp Gallery is one of eight contemporary galleries that opened in 2011 as part of the dynamic Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art. These galleries present innovative approaches to the exhibition of contemporary art within the context of the Museum's encyclopedic collections, offering new perspectives and encouraging connections between art of the present and past.

It's not just federal agencies that are tackling carbon pollution. Several major federal suppliers, such as Lockheed Martin, General Electric, and IBM, announced new voluntary commitments to cut their own emissions as well.
"Green bonds are a great example of an investment that allows us to have a positive impact on society and the environment, while meeting our financial criteria," Zurich's Chief Investment Officer Cecilia Reyes said.
All along the coast of the U.K. and in other coastal communities around the world, the threat of sea level rise and more violent storms is forcing towns and governments to make difficult choices -- build higher, build stronger, or retreat.

Clients and staff entertained people with their brand new production "Rock Around the Clock."
They spent several weeks rehearsing and making their own costumes and decorations for the performance included classic songs like 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Splish Splash'.
Organizers say the event gave clients the opportunity to shine on stage in front of family and friends.
Hamburgers and hot dogs were also served along with root beer floats for dessert.

Shellfish harvested from water in Otago with a potentially
toxic bloom should not be eaten and other fish should be
eaten only sparingly, a health professional says.
Southern District Health Board medical officer of health Dr
Marion Poore said the eating of freshwater shellfish, such as
kakahi or freshwater mussels, from water in Otago with a
blue-green algae was not recommended and fish should only be
eaten twice a week to stop the risk of accumulating toxins.
Minimal information was available about the potential toxic
effects of eating the fish but toxin accumulation studies
suggested algae toxins could build up in the internal organs
of fish, such as the liver and kidneys, but the fillets were
less affected.
When people gutted and filleted the fish, they should use
gloves when removing the fat, skin, and organs and should be
careful not to cut into the organs, Dr Poore said.
Before cooking or freezing the fish, the fillets should be
rinsed with clean water to remove any contaminants from the
cleaning process.

Ornelas letter: Alternatives not attractive
Rich and poor alike agree America is in deep economic trouble. Conservatives and liberals concur on the destructive nature of our debt. Republicans' solution to this problem is to lower taxes. Their answer to our economic issues is to give less to country.
Patriotism requires the sacrifice of treasure, sweat and blood. How can any patriot possibly believe our duty is to give less when the country is in dire straits? Taxes did not cause the continuing economic burdens of the U.S. However, not paying what one owes in taxes could be an issue.
Hardworking Americans have to balance their budgets at home, and they want leaders who can do the same in Washington. Spending money we do not have is simply unpalatable, and Obama has shown no restraint in spending our tax money.
We now are in a black hole of red ink, saddled with a new entitlement from the health care law and facing a demographic nightmare. If someone doesn't do the job, you have to let him go.
"Are you better off today than you were four years ago/" That question has recently been answered by the major political parties in absolutely predictable manner. The Republicans say "no," the Democrats say "yes."
My take is slightly different. I say that if we really were better off today than we were four years ago, then the question wouldn't even come up for discussion. The alternative has not earned another four years in the White House. He must not be re-elected, even if the alternative probably isn't much better.

I'm a gold girl through and through. Yes, silver has its place, but for me a touch of gold wins every time. There's something about the way it pairs with natural, earthy details that speaks to my style's heart. So when Hyer Images brought us this next Georgia wedding, with its pretty little tablescape of gold china set around wooden planters by Amy Harvey Designs, my day got a little happier.

I may call New England home now, but I spent my younger years under the southern sun. It was a childhood full of front porches and sweet tea, tradition and seersucker. So it goes without saying, shoots like this on from Austin Warnock Photography bring back the prettiest of memories. It's filled with all the reasons why southern weddings make my heart skip a beat, and...
The thoughtful details, the romantic color palette, and the sweet southern Savannah setting make this wedding shot by LBB member Allison ofAllison Reisz Photography simply stunning. And don't even get me started on that gorgeous piece of ruffle perfection (aka her wedding dress) from Vera Wang the bride wore so perfectly - too die for.

What was your intention when you chose both Gr- names with the other two? Was it coincidence, did you think you wouldn't have more, or did you want them to have matching initials? Just curious. If it was just a coincidence, I think you can use another initial and no one will question it. Or if it was intended, then Grant (or Graham!) works. But I wouldn't feel obligated if I were you. I am one of three girls and two of us have E names and one L, and we never thought anything of it.

I think Grant works well with Griffin and Grace. I also like Graham and Grover with Griffin and Grace.
You may also want to consider names that begin with G but not the Gr.

Waterford resident Juan Velez pleaded guilty in the middle of his trial in U.S. District court Thursday to taking part in a $1.2 million mortgage fraud scheme involving multiple properties in New London.
Velez, 60, faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 12 by U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny in Hartford.
According to the government, Velez took part in the scheme in 2006 and 2007, acquiring properties and selling them at inflated prices using fraudulently obtained mortgage loans. In pleading guilty to one count of bank fraud, Velez admitted he had sold a property at 624-626 Montauk Ave. to a co-defendant, Flavia Mendoza, knowing that the loan paperwork contained false statements regarding her income, her intention to occupy the property as her primary residence and the amount of money she was providing to purchase the property.
Additionally, the paperwork falsely stated that Mendoza had provided Velez with approximately $29,760 for the purchase when he had not provided any down payment money. Based on the false statements, Mendoza obtained a loan in the amount of $492,699.
Velez, Mendoza and others shared the profits of this and other fraudulently obtained residential mortgage loans, which totaled more than $1.2 million.. Mendoza also has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael S. McGarry and Peter S. Jongbloed.

Salsa RideCamp Recap: Gravel, Fire and Deadwood
- At September 21, 2015
- By Russ
- In Riding Days, stories
- 5
Imagine summer camp… complete with mess halls, campfires, s'mores and bikes… really really nice bikes. And instead of ghost stories, you get enthralling tales of riding the Tour Divide race or attempting a fat bike expedition in Alaska in bad weather and dwindling food, and you'll get a sense of what Salsa RideCamp was like!
RideCamp was held just outside of the tiny community of Seeley, WI in an open field that serves as event space for the famed Birkebeiner event. This was a first for Salsa, who has usually held events for dealers like Frostbike and Saddle Drive, but has never had one where they can speak directly to the people who are riding their bikes. As a bike nerd, it was the perfect opportunity to talk to their engineers and bike designers about every nuanced detail of their bikes. And everyone was really approachable. Maybe its a Mid-Western thing, but all the staff was really friendly and there was none of the bike snobbery we've seen at some other bike events we've attended.
Getting the morning fire started.
Each day of the three-day event, there were multiple mountain bike and gravel rides. They were all at a nice casual pace that gave you a chance to stretch the legs, try out the new bikes and chat with fellow ridecampers. We partook in the gravel rides, which followed nice rolling terrain through the North Woods, with little-to-no car traffic. Some of the roads were barely large enough to fit a single car!
Riding and chatting with Jay Petervary.
Awesome gravel road riding near the event.
Gravel riding mom crushing it with the trailer!
RideCamp ended every evening with a presentation. We heard from Jay Petervary about the behind-the-scenes action of this year's Tour Divide race, the closest and fastest finish in the history of the event! Jay told us about the hazards of "sleep biking," where you ride (and sometimes walk) with your bike in utter exhaustion and sleep deprivation while weaving all over the road. We also heard from Bjorn and Kim about their Ring of Fire expedition in Alaska. Bjorn and Kim had mapped out an ambitious route that combined both fat bikes and pack rafts, but were thwarted by rough weather and lack of food. Both evening presentations were riveting and made you forget that the temps were hovering in the 30s. In addition to the evening programming, there were also great daytime presentations on gravel riding and packing for bikepacking or biketouring trips.
Didn't know Wisconsin had terrain like this.
Of course, one of the reasons we wanted to attend was to throw a leg over some of the new bikes (a few of which haven't made it to dealers yet). Specifically, I had my heart set on trying out the Deadwood, Salsa's new supersized Fargo with 29+ tires.
All the Deadwoods in existence were at this event (production runs haven't shipped yet) and I was the first to break in the size small. It's the sort of bike you take when you're not quite sure what sort of road conditions you'll encounter, but aren't riding on snow or extended sandy stretches. For me, it was the first time riding the 29+ tire size and I was surprised how much I really enjoyed it. The big tires are confidence-inspiring, especially on sketchy washboard descents. Despite the wider tire width, the handling is playful and it is a decent climber.
We don't usually ride extended snowy or sandy stretches, so a fat bike doesn't make sense for us, but the 29+ size is perfect for taking more exploratory forest service roads and trails. Even Laura, who was a bit skeptical in the very beginning, came around and was bombing down hills with a smile on her face.
RideCamp was great for a first time event by Salsa and we are looking forward to seeing what they do next year. We really appreciated how mellow and approachable all the staff were and also enjoyed meeting new people and even some blog readers! We were also blown away by the bucolic rolling Wisconsin countryside that the event was held in and are making plans in the future for further exploration.
Reconnecting The Gorge Video Series

The Historic Columbia River Highway is a fabled piece of road in Oregon history. It has the distinction of being designated the first "Scenic Highway" in the country and inspired other great roads in the US. With the construction of I-84 through the Columbia River Gorge many parts of the historic highway were lost. We've had the great pleasure of working with ODOT the last few months to create a web video series explaining the highways reconnection as trail and build support for the difficult final stretch. As a bicycle tourism asset, when it is complete it will provide an amazing experience. But, we are not quite there yet. Sit back and enjoy the videos and share them!

Rode Trip: Mud and Redemption at Treo Ranches
- At May 31, 2015
- By Laura
- In Rode Trip, stories
- 4
Exasperated, I stopped in the middle of the mud field of a road. I could no longer shoulder my bike, after carrying it most of the way down the hill. But pushing wasn't an option either, as the peanut butter mud clogged up the tire tread and chain and everything else in the bat of an eye. So I just stood there for a moment, pondering what to do.
And that's when I saw Phil's van, chugging up the hill on a rescue mission. I stuck out my thumb, amazed that he'd gotten enough traction to come after us. As we loaded up my muddy mess of a bike (and muddy me), Phil joked, "if everything went perfect, it wouldn't be a good story!"
In Oregon, the part of the state West of the Cascade Mountains is known as the "Wet Side." The Eastern part of the state, predominantly high desert and ranch land, is the "Dry Side." There's a reason for this – it's usually exceedingly dry and sunny in the East.
The Dry Side also has spectacular gravel roads that wind their way through endlessly open and empty vistas – which is why we had crossed the mountains with a motley group of friends.
We were base-camped out of Treo Ranch, a hunting lodge that caters to cyclists in the off-season – and a slate of beautifully challenging rides had carefully been planned for our weekend.
Phil and Dan plotting ride routes for the weekend.
But Russ and I seem to be on a streak of having rainy weather on the Dry Side – and we woke up Saturday morning to a soggy landscape that had been pummeled with rain overnight.
We dawdled over coffee and breakfast, trying to pull up the weather forecast via weak internet and cell service, before deciding to just go for it. This was clearly not the weather we wanted, but there was no point in wasting the trip.
Dodging puddles as we pedaled away from Treo.
We followed the undulating ridge line out of the ranch. All of Eastern Oregon, it seemed, rolled out alongside us, a never-ending series of deep valleys and tall hilltops, all covered in sage and wild grasses. The storm clouds of the night before still lingered on top and around us, lending a surprisingly grey cast to the landscape.
Determined to ride, we ignored all the ominous signs.
Fantastically steep descent down Buttermilk Canyon.
After a few miles, the storm clouds seemed to lessen, and we descended into Buttermilk Canyon. The creek had long ago carved this narrow and winding canyon, and there was an old ranch spread out through the bends. Hundreds of swallows rushed out of their nests in the cliff walls above us – and, for a few miles, everything seemed perfect.
Then we started up the hill.
At a certain point, the good gravel we'd been enjoying turned into sticky muck. Mud glommed on to every possible surface, gumming up tires and chains in seconds. And it brought along the remnants of the gravel that should have surfaced the road, so that pebbles could be heard scraping frames and found clogging chain links to the point of cogs no longer turning.
There's a bike under there somewhere.
When the mud got too thick on my tires, I walked.
When the mud got so sloppy that it tried to suck off my shoes, I carried my bike.
Cyclo-cross style, aka why I have a bruise on my shoulder.
Slowly, gingerly, we made our way up the hill.
At the top, I discovered that I had cell signal, so I snapped a photo and posted it to Facebook, laughing at the ridiculousness of the mud.
And then I heard the worst words you can hear on a ride: "I broke my bike." In the fight of Russ vs the mud, the mud had won. It had ripped off his derailleur, which now hung from his chain in a sad and mangled ending.
Our 70-mile ride had been reduced to just 16, and the mud had left a few casualties in its wake.
Unable to make all the necessary repairs on the fly, Russ and his steed hitch a ride with a passing rancher.
There is something about Eastern Oregon that keeps drawing us back. The landscape is mesmerizing, with its big skies and rolling hills. You can stand on a hilltop and feel impossibly tiny, just as you will check that your eyes are open when it's pitch black at night and that your ears can still hear when it's stunningly quiet. Whenever there is an opportunity to ride around Eastern Oregon, I will take it, and it will never be enough.
But the allure of Eastern Oregon can obscure an important fact: you can easily get in over your head.
On a ride last fall, we climbed up a twisting gravel road and dropped into a deserted valley. Breathtakingly beautiful, and eerily easy to just disappear and never again see anyone or a hint of civilization.
I love the feeling of being completely independent and self-sufficient. But, I have to say, when things go wrong, when the road tries to swallow you alive, it's nice to know that someone has your back.
Thank you Phil and your mud-conquering van.
We first met Phil roughly a year ago, and we were instantly impressed. A former rancher and mechanic, Phil has run a hunting lodge near Heppner, Oregon since the 1980s – and began to reach out to cyclists a few years ago to fill the gap during the hunting off-season.
Cycling caps now hang alongside hunting hats.
At Treo, cycling and hunting blend together under one roof, in a style that's both odd and perfectly fitting. There are pheasants on the wall and cue sheets on the side table. There's Bud Light for the hunters, IPA for the cyclists – and everyone gets a steak at the end of the day (this is Eastern Oregon, after all).
And that's what makes Treo so inviting – rather than putting on airs, it's a cozy slice of Eastern Oregon. It's an opportunity to experience a place that's vastly different from where most of us live, to rub elbows with the history and culture of this part of the West – and to cycle some of the most beautiful roads in Eastern Oregon, without a second thought about 'did I pack enough water?' and 'what if I break my derailleur in the middle of a long ride?'
Helping cyclists blend into the surroundings and be a good neighbor.
The morning after the mud fiasco, we awoke to sun streaming in the window. Was it all a dream? It would be easy to believe that we had simply imagined all those miles of walking through muck – if not for Russ' derailleur-less bike propped against the wall.
On a normal independent trip, we would resign ourselves to "not chancing it." But the promise of van support on our planned 40-mile route meant that we wouldn't have to miss out on the last day of (now dry) Eastern Oregon gravel. Russ could spin on his make-shift single-speed – and bail if it turned out to be a terrible idea.
In sharp contrast to the day before, we were greeted by a sparkling blue sky, dotted with a few perfect powderpuff clouds. Out through the ghost town of Hardman, down a roaring canyon descent, uphill again along a winding creek, and into the Ponderosa forest. Treo Ranch is located on a grassy slope, surrounded by rangeland – so the tall pine trees surprised and delighted us. And then they surprised us even more when they suddenly disappeared on the other side of the summit, and we followed a screaming descent through wildflower-dotted prairie-land.
Incredible views around every turn.
A much better experience in the sunshine.
The landscape and terrain of the route changed every few miles, a perfect welcome-to-Eastern-Oregon gravel sampler route. Up, down, narrow canyons, wide open fields. Constant wonder and surprise, on a deliciously warm and sunny day. It was exactly the ride that we had been looking forward to – made all the sweeter by the sheer inability to experience it the day before.

I feel like a complete goof. I'm standing in the Deschutes River, decked out in waders, rod in hand, as if maybe I belong there, but I have no clue what I'm doing.
An hour earlier, amid conversation at the fly shop, we let it slip that this is my first attempt at fly fishing. Curiosity ensues, and I try to explain what makes me want to wade into the river and swing for trout. As a feminist and marketer, it bugs me that fishing ads rarely show women. But that sounds weird and pretentious to say, so I go with the second reason – which is that, after years of watching Russ, I have simply started to wonder what the fuss is all about.
It's over 80 degrees, sunny and dry, and the sky is swimming with giant insects. So far, so good.
We decide to keep it as simple as possible, so I use one of Russ' Tenkara rods. No reel, no complicated cast patterns, I just have to land the fly in the right part of the water.
But first, I have to overcome my fear of water. As soon as I step into the river, I remember why I have always avoided fishing, and it's the same reason why I avoid swimming in rivers or lakes or the ocean… I tend to panic when I can't clearly see my feet. The river bottom is dark, and there are ripples on the water's surface. I take a deep breath and step in, but I have to remind myself that I'm only ankle-deep and the waders and shoes will keep the river critters from brushing up against my skin.
Russ ties a fly onto the Tenkara line, the fly that the guy in the fly shop says I should rely on. I get a few pointers and throw the line into the water. Russ stands on the bank, watching and taking photos.
When it seems like I've grasped the basics, Russ strings up his own rod and steps into the river behind me. While he brings in a few trout, I snag a few trees.
Russ suggests that I move down the river a bit further, out from under the brush, but it's too late. My fly has decided to dance with the tree branches. I wade down to where it's royally tangled up, trying to make sense of the mess. And then I see the snake. Game over.
Day Two.
It rained overnight, so we wake up to a soggy campground and grey skies. The temperature is at least 20 degrees cooler than the day before. There are no giant clouds of enormous bugs. But we're not leaving, so we load up the bikes and pedal down the gravel road.
The gravel is thick and chunky, recently graded. It's not ideal for the tires we have, but I'd much rather be on a bike than picking my way through in a car.
Russ watches the river for rises while I take in the scenery. This stretch of the Deschutes is different from the stretch we usually visit.
Eventually we pick a spot. Waders. Crocs. Down jacket. Tenkara rod. Magic fly. I wander back into the river, thankful that the change in weather means I won't likely see any snakes.
The morning wears on, I catch a few more trees. We take a break and chat with another fisherman. I feel completely out of my element.
And just when I'm beginning to think that fishing is completely the dumbest thing ever… I hook into a trout. I'm so shocked that I literally scream. The guys who had just boated across the river watch as Russ helps me land a beautiful 8" rainbow. I just keep saying, 'holy crap, I can't believe I caught one.'
Ten minutes later, I hook another.
Day Three.
Not long after my fishing triumph, it began to rain. And rain. All through the night and into the morning. We drag ourselves out of the tent, hoping for some clear skies for a few hours. I want to catch another trout.
We pack up our stuff, hop back on the bikes, and pedal back down the road to the magic spot of the day before. I get a strike only 10 minutes after getting into the river, and I'm so mesmerized by the sight of the fish coming up from the depths to grab the fly, that I forget to set the hook.
Clearly, I'm still a rookie. But at least I finally understand why fly fishing is so darn addictive.
Bike Touring to Bikepacking: Re-Learning How to Pack
- At April 27, 2015
- By Laura
- In Gear, stories

From the moment I first threw a leg over my Warbird, I knew a gauntlet had been thrown down. This bike would travel places with me. But how would my gear?
Our first bike overnight without panniers to Cascade Locks.
As I stared at our bikes in advance of our overnight to Cascade Locks and as I dug around the pile of old bags at the back of the closet, I couldn't help but think back to our very first bike tour, over eight years ago. A lot has happened in between then and now, but I once again faced a packing conundrum that proved how much I still had to learn.
Eight years ago, I had no idea where to start. I didn't have any of the fancy gear, because I wasn't yet sold on this bike touring thing. So, I used what I had, and I overpacked a basket that hung so heavily from my handlebars that it scraped the paint off the headtube.
We all have to start somewhere, but there would be no ill-fitting basket hanging on my Warbird. Nor would there be a hairdryer, or any of the other excessive items I packed on that first trip. But I needed to carry some things, and I once again faced the fact that I didn't have any of the fancy gear – because, again, I wasn't yet sold on this bikepacking thing.
Packing with panniers is so simple and easy.
The truth is I like panniers. They're simple, they're exceedingly functional, they locate the weight of your gear low to the ground. In contrast, most bikepacking setups rely on many small bags, strapped all over the place with fat ugly velcro, located so high off the ground that they raise your center of gravity.
Panniers are egalitarian. You can use them to buy groceries and you can use them to travel the world. Those funny seat bags, though? Where else do you use those?
Plus, I've become incredibly skilled at packing for a bike trip with panniers. It's such second-nature that I really don't need to think about it, other than deciding what to cook for dinner.
Put another way, though, maybe I've become too skilled at packing with panniers. There's no challenge anymore, just the chore of finding the things and dropping them inside just-so.
I may hate the look of most bikepacking bags, but I have to admit that I like the challenge of completely re-thinking everything I know about packing for a bike trip.
Using what we got. The Arkel Randonneur rack and Tailrider bag was a good solution but not ideal for too much off-pavement riding.
And when I say re-think everything, I truly mean everything. The systems that I've adopted for packing in panniers aren't transferrable. Neither is a lot of my gear. For the first time, I have to care about ounces and excessive compressibility. I love simplicity, but this is a whole other extreme. And I really don't want to cut my toothbrush in half.
Definitely planning more rides like this!
In the end, though, I accept this challenge for one reason: this bike is a blast to ride!
I just hope I can find a Mary Poppins bag, because it turns out that the trunk bag I have will only hold one incredibly minimal change of clothes if I want to make decent coffee in the morning.
Frostbike 2015: Beards and Gear
- At February 26, 2015
- By Russ
- In stories
- 0
Follow the Beards
Laura and I are walking aimlessly at MSP airport. We are clearly looking lost. A woman's voice calls out and says, "You must be Frostbikers." I do a quick mental inventory and figure it is the Ortlieb backpacks that gives us away. It is Kathleen from FreeRangeCycles, a sweet bicycle commuting and touring shop in Seattle. We tell her that we're looking for the lightrail into downtown. She says she heard that there is a shuttle for Frostbikers. We kill time talking about randonneuring bikes (her passion), wondering if we are in the right place for a shuttle that may or may not appear. Suddenly, when doubt is at its highwater mark, they appear, a group of twenty or so men with various degrees of beard walking with purpose. We had found our tribe. Without thinking or breaking a step, I say, "follow them!"
Winter Wonderland
The Minneapolis Marrriot is decorated with giant snow flakes. At check-in, you are a given a choice between four beanie hats. At any other tradeshow, they would be seen as a cute giveaway, but with the weather hovering around -6 outside, the ill-prepared in attendance take them graciously. Scanning the crowd, there are hundreds of bicycle shop owners and employees from around the country. It is a winter gathering of the two-wheeled tribes and it is glorious. Working our way through the crowd and eyeballing name tags, there are people from shops that we've visited in our travels – (Bike Effect, The Mob Shop, Kyles Bikes) – and ones that we've only known through social media (North Central Cyclery, Angry Catfish, Topanga Creek Bicycles, Harris Cyclery).
Frostbike, someone described to us, is "a Midwestern Interbike." People are friendlier and it doesn't have the same frenetic craziness and over-the-top displays. "It draws primarily midwesterners, so the people are nicer." While chatting with the different dealers and vendors, we definitely found that to be the case. Business meetings were being conducted, bikes and parts were being ordered, but people were a lot more relaxed and social.
This branding seminar was actually pretty awesome.
Aside from unveiling new bikes and products, Frostbike also has several seminars for the attendees. This year, there was everything from technical sessions for shop mechanics; to Jay Petervary talking about bikepacking; to QBP's Director of Marketing, Ryan Johnson, presenting about branding. We attended the branding session and got more out of that hour session than any other all-day branding workshop. Ryan shared some of the techniques and frameworks that QBP uses to differentiate their different brands and how it could be applied to bike shops. If you are a bike dealer and have the opportunity to attend, the breakout sessions have lots of great content.
Salsa Steals the Show
Of course, one of the big reasons people go to these things is for product unveils. Perhaps the biggest news was at the Salsa display, where people gathered with baited breath to see what lay beneath the covers. Salsa debuted two new bikes: an updated Warbird, as well as the tandem 29er Powderkeg. By now all the specs have been published, so we won't go into that minutiae. I will say that the Warbird is a stunning bike in person. The bridgeless seatstays are not only beautiful to behold, but offer big tire and mud clearances and purportedly smooth out the ride. The colors are eye-catching (yay there is an orange one!), and they have a nice understated nature to them with the bold tri-color bands. Salsa positions the Warbird as an almost strictly race-day gravel event bike (hence the lack of any mounting points for fenders or racks), but I like to see it as a sort of all-roads go-fast bike. A Vaya that has shed a few pounds and with a little more get up and go. The sort of bike that you take on a spirited road ride with friends as well as explore rougher forest and gravel roads with.
In addition to the new bikes, Salsa also had on display their new Anything Cage HDs and matching dry bags. They also had their new waterproof roll top panniers at their booth, a nod to those who aren't going completely rackless on tour.
Easy access adjusting bolt on this Velo Orange seatpost.
Other products we personally found interesting on the Expo floor included the popular Clement LGG, which is coming out in a wider 32mm flavor (I have the 28mm version on a bike and love it). And the Rocket Ratchet Lite, which I recently bought, is getting an upgrade (Rocket Ratchet Lite DX) and will come with two tire levers and a bit extender. Velo Orange showed off a seat post with easy adjustability. Instead of fiddling with bolts from the bottom, all adjustments are made from an easy to access side facing bolt.
Swapping Tales of Adventure by Bike
Honored to be on this esteemed panel.
One of the fun things we got to participate in was a panel specifically for Salsa's international distributors. The theme was "adventure by bike" and we shared some bar stools with some amazing folks. There was Jim Cummins, one of the organizers of the Dirty Kanza 200; Jay Petervary, one of the most accomplished endurance cyclists in the world, and Ben Weaver, a talented folk musician who recently toured by bike from Minneapolis to New Orleans and played shows along the way. What was fascinating was that, although we were speaking from completely different aspects of bicycling, we all saw the bicycle as personally transformative and wanted to inspire others to ride.
Jim Cummins talks about the impacts of the Dirty Kanza 200.
It was a great treat to hear Jim Cummins talk about the Dirty Kanza 200, not only from the rider perspective but from the economic perspective as well. Since they moved the race start from the outskirts of Emporia to downtown, it has been embraced by local businesses and provides a great economic boon to the area. He spoke about rider trading cards that they created which was an innovative way to involve the community and local businesses. One of his favorite accomplishments as race director for the Dirty Kanza 200 is the fact that it has been embraced by the community. He told us that when he first started riding around Emporia with a friend, he lamented not having many people to ride with. Now, more than 100 residents from Emporia have registered in the race.
Ben Weaver closes the panel with a private performance.
The panel ended with Ben Weaver playing a few songs from his latest album that were inspired by traveling by bike.
Connecting the Dots
One morning, Laura and I decided to have a little #coffeeoutside session in our hotel room before heading to QBP headquarters for the expo. Although it was organized informally via Instagram at the 11th hour, we had a great crew of bikey coffee nerds show up. There was Chase, who is opening up a lifestyle bike shop/cafe with a focus on bike travel in Los Angeles; our friend Arleigh from BikeShopGirl.com; Scott from Salvagetti Bicycles in Denver, CO; our friend Adam from Bicycle Times; Lucas from Bunyan Velo, and Carl from Monkey Wrench Bicycles in Lincoln, NE.
#Coffeeoutside inside session with some next gen bicycle industry folks.
The whole Frostbike experience was a lot like this for us. We met shop owners who we had met in the past and learned about new shops that were just opening. We also ran into quite a few readers, which was a treat since most of our interaction with our readers is just online. We talked to shop owners and employees around the country, trying to get a sense of the popularity of bicycle travel. We also listened about what they thought were the gaps and obstacles to its growth. For us, it was a fascinating anthropological look at the current state of biking.
A lot of talking about adventure by bike with shop owners and event organizers.
After the official programming of Frostbike ended, Laura and I made a tour of Minneapolis bike shops that we've always wanted to check out. There was One on One, regarded as one of the first bicycle/coffee shops in Minneapolis (and the country?). They played host to an after party for Frostbikers which involved some sub-zero mini bike races in the alley. We stopped by Angry Catfish, a beautifully curated shop that not only serves up great coffee (Intelligentsia) but lots of high end soft goods and bikes. If you're a bike nerd, it is a must. Around the corner from ACF is Mend Provisions, a next generation lifestyle fly fishing store. We went to Calhoun Cycles, a great commuter/folding bike/cargo bike focused shop (which coincidentally shared space with a coffee shop). We crammed as much as we could into the time remaining, all the while trying not to freeze our faces off. Minneapolis definitely requires another longer (and warmer) visit. Before flying back to Portland, we had lunch with some of the Salsa Cycles crew to talk about some future plans. Great things are afoot. We'll leave it at that.
One on One packed with Frostbikers at an afterparty.
Winter does not stop bike fun in Minneapolis.

When we first got invited as media to Frostbike, the idea of visiting Minneapolis in February didn't sound very appealing. We weren't dealers or strictly a product review site anymore, but we are glad we went (and we hope you appreciate this different non-spec focused look at the event). The big takeaways we came away with is that the new generation of bike shop owners are eager to change the experience of what a bike shop is and that bicycle touring and travel is alive and well. If you get a chance to go as a dealer or shop employee it will be worth your while (just bring a coat…or several).
Paper Panniers: 7 Days with Ortlieb
- At September 24, 2014
- By Russ
- In Bicycle Tourism, stories
- 12
Back in 2008, when we were first getting into bike touring, I ordered Laura a pair of Ortlieb Bike-packers for her birthday. They were going to take a few days to arrive and, not wanting to be empty-handed on the special day, I printed out a photo of two small panniers and put them in an envelope. The Ortliebs eventually showed up and we did several short tours around California. Little did we know that the next year we would end up selling or giving away most of what we owned to travel by bike for three years. We've used Ortliebs for a long time and, while we've also used bags from different makers and manufacturers, they will always have a special place in our heart.
When we got an email from a long time acquaintance at OrtliebUSA about the possibility to shoot images for their next catalog, we leaped at the chance. This was a brand that we had used and loved for many years and now we had the chance to help with their new marketing. Heck yeah! The funny thing is that, when we were on the road traveling, I had mused about how it would be a "dream gig" to shoot for Ortlieb.
Sometimes you get what you ask for, it just takes a couple of years. And in hindsight, I'm glad it did take a couple of years to come together. It took the knowledge of shooting and logistics that we've learned over the last few years to pull it all together. If it weren't for our experience with filming the Oregon Scenic Bikeways and learning how to scout locations, plan shoot days, work with talent, and make the impromptu creative decisions that brings some magic to an image, we probably never would have been able to pull it off.
The weeks leading up to the shoot, we rode bikes all over Portland looking for places we could stage vignettes; we spent three days on the coast looking for JUST the right spot where we could shoot, capture the rocky coast AND be away from traffic; and I did test after test of different angles to figure out how best to shoot the bags. In all the pre-production, we even dug out Laura's blue panniers to better visualize. Of course, they've seen better days. The color has faded, a few of the buckles have snapped, but to their credit, they are still waterproof and work just fine.
When the first of seven days of shooting came around, I was nervous. Two people from Germany had flown into town to art direct and guide the shoot. We had discussed the new look they were trying to achieve, looked at samples their graphic designer sent, and talked about what they liked and what they didn't like. When the talent and U-Haul full of product and bikes showed up the first morning, it was more or less full-tilt from the second we opened the cargo door to when we shut it at 8pm that evening.
The amount of product we had to shoot (from bike bags to hiking backpacks to kayak gear) was overwhelming to think about all at once. The most I could do was concentrate on the products at the moment. We did shots with motion blur, shots that were perfectly crisp, that showed details, that told a story, etc. I shot wide, then medium, then close-up. I was juggling two Nikons and four lenses, carefully pacing the amount of memory cards we had. There were some shots that we tried over and over to get and some that we got on the first try. Some vignettes were pre-planned, some we discovered along the course of the day. The whole week, there was a constant tension of following the schedule but also being able to try something on a whim. It was chaotic, stressful, challenging, and fun, all at once.
Throughout the whirlwind, we found a renewed respect and appreciation for Ortlieb as a company. Living in the Pacific Northwest, it's easy to think of them as an enormous corporation, since their products are simply everywhere. But we learned that they are actually a relatively small company, all based in one location, where they design, build, and distribute their products. When they first started, no one was making waterproof panniers like they wanted, so they made their own machines! We learned that it wasn't uncommon for people to work 15 or 20 years (or more) with the company. We also learned why their products can cost so much – they want to keep everything German-made and pay their employees a living wage. And we learned that, every year at Christmas, they buy cookies from a bakery in the town where they're based, and ship them to their distributors as a sign of thanks.
By the end of the shoot, we had photographed in Portland, in the Columbia River Gorge, along the Deschutes River, and on the Oregon Coast. It was a whirlwind shoot and, when it was over, we were all pretty spent. We saw Rolf and Kristin off at the airport, on their way back to Germany (where they had to quickly prepare for Eurobike), and there were hugs all around. The shoot was hard, no doubt, but we were happy with the images we captured and are looking forward to seeing them in their marketing materials in the next year. For me, it was a "dream gig" that eventually came true. But perhaps more interesting was meeting the people behind the company and learning the human side of those little paper panniers I had cut out years ago.

We shot this earlier in the summer but it has finally been released. Like many, we have been guilty of just passing through Madras on our way to Bend. After the filming, we've discovered that there are little gems of roads with spectacular views. Also not to mention some surprisingly good food in both Madras and the tiny town of Culver!

Some footage from last winter when we escaped the grey of Portland to ride bikes in San Luis Obispo. The Central Coast is really an undiscovered cycling paradise and offers a ton of scenic riding opportunities in the area, especially for weather weary riders from the Pacific North West in the middle of the big grey.

Austin House Cafe is an oasis for cycling tourists in Oregon. Located on both the Adventure Cycling Trans AM route and the Old West Scenic Bikeway, it sees a fair number of bike tourists every year. We interviewed Jeff and Christy Keffer, the owners of Austin House Cafe, last year to talk with them about how it has been like to have cyclists as customers in rural Oregon. They are definitely worth the visit if you are biking or driving through!

Two Small Bathroom Ideas
Small bathroom ideas - If you own a small shower stall in the bathroom, it is necessary to seek options to maximize space and comfort at bath time. No matter how small it is, always there are actions that can be done to facilitate the use of the shower. Choose accessories that expand the space of the box, giving all the space needed for the bath.
Shelving: A small bathroom ideas shelves that can be hung in the shower. They are usually made at different levels, making room for all hygiene items. It is much easier to use a shelf than leaving the soap, shampoos and other products dropped on the floor or on the edge of the tub. The shelves will improve the visual environment and prevents you bump the toiletries every time you want to move. You can find them at any office supply store to the home.
Transparent curtains: A small box can provide a feeling of tightness, like a cave, if you cannot take the light. To small bathroom ideas maximized on lighting, choose a transparent curtain. These parts are not painted or provide a higher gloss than the shower opaque versions. For a more varied customization choose a curtain having waterproof pockets on the outside. You can post photos or postcards inside to give a personal touch to the bathroom.

Database update after an upgrade only work if I do it manually, site by site.
If I, after an upgrade try to access a dashboard or click 'Update network'; my web-server starts making DNS calls, which leads it to access upgrade.php from the external IP of my connection. This is of course not allowed, resulting in slow dashboard access and no 'you need to update database' page are loaded. I saw this behaviour last upgrade as well.
I know I can solve this by hosts or by allowing the external IP-number access, but are curious why this is not executed internally.
I there anywhere in WP I can poke to make this go away?

Orange High School
My name is Armond Hankins and I am the principal at Orange High School. I was born and raised in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., before moving to the west coast in 1988. For nearly 19 years I lived in southern California area, primarily San Diego, California. It was there that I entered the field of education, working as a teacher, counselor, Dean of Students before ultimately accepting role as a School Administrator. I have a Masters' degree in School Administration, as well as a Masters' degree in Educational Counseling. I also have valid credentials in both areas.
As we did last year, Orange High School, has chosen the month of April as our Pay it Forward month. If you have seen the movie Pay it Forward then you will be familiar with the theme of our endeavor for the month of April. If not familiar, the goal will be to create an atmosphere where people give to others, do for others, without the thought of what is in it for me. Please visit web page developed to share information related to the Orange High School - Pay it Forward endeavor. See below
On Tuesday, April 17th from 5-7 P.M. we plan to open up Orange High School once more for an evening full of activities to the group(s) we have targeted. The target group(s) will be those in nursing homes, senior citizen homes, social services referrals, church groups and children in foster care.
Because of my ability to effectively work as a leader, a team player, as well as individually, I excelled during my time on the west coast. I joined the Orange High School family during the summer of 2008. Effective interpersonal communications skills, the use of organized and good time managing skills, as well as my desire to excel and succeed allowed me to steadily move up the ladder, moving from the assistant principal position to that of principal of Orange High School.
I am married and my wife's name is Lorena. Lorena was born and raised in Tepic, Mexico. During the late 1980's she moved to California and it there when she and I first met. She graciously translates the Sunday Message/Call into Spanish so that we have the ability to reach out to some of our second language families. We have four (4) children, ages 7, 13, 26, and 28. The 7 year old, Lauren and the 13 year old, Aaron, live with us here in North Carolina, while our adult-age children Karla, 26 and Claudia, 28 remain in southern California. Karla is currently working in the field of education. We all have inspirational people in our lives, my mother Shirley Singletary is one of mine
The are a number of specialized programs that Orange High School has put into place in a effort to assist with the growth and development of the Orange High School students, a few are listed below.Programs:Advisory Program Link Crew Habitat for HumanityPBIS PBIS Newsletter Academic Saturday School
Student Planner is provided yearly and it provides the Orange High School students a great deal of information from bell schedules, rules and regulations, clubs and sports offered, to graduation requirements for the county and state.
Sunday Message is our attempt to share information with the Orange High School families on a regular basis. The text version of the calls are posted on the website to allow those that may have missed the call or only heard part of the message.
Like many, athletics has always been apart of my life. Since coming to Orange High School in 2008, I see that it is a highlight in the lives of those that currently attend Orange High School, as well as those that have already graduated. Orange High School athletics is built on rich traditions. We have celebrated championships in the past and look forward to celebrating additional ones in the future.
While academics will always exist first foremost in my mind when I consider decisions related to our students, I realize that athletics and other extracurricular activities can allow that window of opportunity to reach out to our students to widen, keeping them actively attending and involved in school life. I believe that it is through communication between the classroom teacher, the parent, and the coach, that athletics becomes extremely beneficial in providing balance in our student's lives. With all that we offer here at Orange High School, no student should ever be without an opportunity to enjoy a rich, fulfilling life merging academics and extracurricular opportunities.
Once a Panther, Always a Panther. Please remember to support the academic and athletic programs at Orange High School.

EPPELHEIM, Germany-- Volunteers from U.S. Army Garrison Baden-Württemberg's Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers tested their brute strength by pushing and pulling an 800-kilogram hay wagon at the Eppelheim City Fest Saturday.
Hundreds of area residents, garrison commander Col. Bryan DeCoster, Command Sgt. Maj. Annette Weber and family members cheered as Spc. Justin Francis, Heidelberg Medical Department Activity, Spc. Brodrick Mungo, Europe Region Medical Command, Spc. Rodney Bicknell, 24th Military Intelligence Battalion, Sgt. Jaret Smith, BOSS president and Spc. James Tesh, HMEDDAC, pushed and pulled the wagon, which weighed about the same as a small American bison for 800 meters.
The group started off strong through the first sand obstacle but by the time they hit the turnaround and the second obstacle, they were beginning to lose a little steam. With determined looks on their faces, the Soldiers finished in four minutes, 32 seconds.
"This was a lot of fun and was a good, new experience, but I didn't expect it to be this hard. I mean, it is about 1,000 pounds," Francis laughed.
BOSS was invited to participate in the annual hay wagon haul this year by Eppelheim mayor Dieter Mörlein, who brought the event from partner city Montebelluna, about 67 kilometers from Venice, in 2001.
The event in Italy is arguably more strenuous, with each section of the city competing against each other along a 3-kilometer course, two of which are uphill.
In Eppelheim, the contest was more about teamwork within the groups and partnership with Hungary, France, Italy and the American presence in Baden Württemberg.
"The mayor invited us to participate, and we jumped right in. We definitely finished strong, but it was more about the camaraderie than anything else," Smith said.
The Hungarian team had only three participants, so Francis volunteered to stand in for their missing buddy, and the rest of the BOSS team brought the team to the finish, to wild cheers from the crowd.
After the event, the Soldiers gathered for traditional German fare like steak with pommes and fresh fruit while children who participated in a smaller-scale version of the hay pull earlier received prizes and students from a local dance school performed a ballet scene and a Spanish dance.
The Soldiers received certificates and were invited to participate again next year.
"We are definitely in next year, but we'll find some way to practice first. We definitely have this next year," Mungo said.

AlmaLinks: Global Network Fostering the Careers of the Next Generation of Jewish Business Leaders
Sorry, but it seems like your browser doesnt support HTML5 video.
In 2012, AlmaLinks received the award for "Outstanding Contribution to the State of Israel & the Jewish people" from the Taglit-Birthright steering committee & the Government of State of Israel.
CEO and Founder, Smart Agriculture Analytics (SAA):
"Based in Beijing, one often flips between two opposing perspectives: either that we are the center of the world or that we are lost on the globe's edge, teetering on the brink of being forgotten. Being involved in AlmaLinks has opened my eyes and opened doors to an incredible array of brilliant, ambitious, creative and, most importantly, generous young Jewish businesspeople."
Manuela Zoninsein
Managing Partner / Founder Maritime Capital:
"While on a recent trip to Israel I was able to leverage the Traveling Member program that let me tap into the AlmaLinks network in Israel. AlmaLinks actively made multiple introductions for me to many leading figures in the Israel tech community. I was able to network with leading peers in Israel who I would have never been exposed to otherwise and was able forge meaningful professional and personal ties as a result. I'll definitely be back."
Greg Gurevich
Founding father of the Israeli venture capital industry:
"The idea and vision behind AlmaLinks is important and uniting different generations of business professionals from all over the world, will create an influential community to promote Israel's global economic interests. I have found that by donating my time to AlmaLinks, I am able to make an impact on those who can be impacting Israel for many years to come."
lgal Erlich
CEO and Founder 40Nuggets, Co-Founder, PresenTense:
"AlmaLinks has given me an incredible network in the Jewish business universe, and facilitated connections and introductions that have been key to our company's success. It's inspiring to see how in the two years I've been involved it's grow to a global network, with cutting edge technical infrastructure, and a clear mission to support young Jews in the business sector and keep them connected to Israel and the global Jewish community."

In virtual box, how can I change the screen resolution from the command line? (Or if there's one for any type of computer, that might work too).
You can quickly "hint" the window to a specific size with the following command:
For example, if you have a guest called "Windows XP Pro", and you wish to set the resolution to 1024x600 at 32 bits per pixel (aka 32 bit) you would use the following command:
There are some prerequisites for this however:
If you wish to change it from within the guest:
In Windows: there are a couple tools that allow you to do this easily from the command line, notably Display Changer.
In Linux: Use
First, the vm must be turned on, you can power on with command:
Before you can change the resolution:
Look inside the documentation provided with VirtualBox. The VBoxManage program gives you the ability to modify VMs from the command line. You can't do this while the machine is running, however. To do that you'll need to find a way to script the resolution change for the operating system you are virtualizing.
$ VBoxManage setextradata "WinXP" "CustomVideoMode1" "1440x900x16"
The MS Windows RDP client for Mac OSX has a preference setting that I had to adjust in addition to adding the custom video modes (shown above).
Select Preferences from the RDC menu, then click on 'Display'. (I was going to post a screen image, but the spam prevention feature prevented it.)
By selecting 'Full screen', I was able to get the display mode changed to the full screen of the client computer. In this case, a MacBook with a screen resolution of 1280x800.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- A small crowd of well-wishers gathered around Rahal Letterman Racing's transporter Saturday night in the immediate aftermath of the Bombardier Learjet 550 at Texas Motor Speedway.
They were waiting for driver Ryan Hunter-Reay, who turned in an outstanding performance before a crash with just six laps remaining in the 228-lap contest ended his race.
"I'm never renting another movie from Blockbuster," said one man, making reference to the sponsor of Marco Andretti's car. Andretti was the other driver involved in the two-car wreck that wiped out what would have been a career-best finish in the IndyCar Series for the 27-year-old Floridian.
Hunter-Reay qualified 10th but moved up to third place after the first round of pit stops. He rarely ran any further back in the field after that in what was his most convincing performance to date in the IndyCar Series.
The two-time winner in the Champ Car World Series joined Bobby Rahal's IndyCar team in mid-2007 and helped RLR end the season on a high note with a series of top-seven finishes.
As Saturday night's Texas race drew to a close, Andretti and Hunter-Reay got together entering Turn 3 on the ultra-fast TMS oval, sending both Dallara-Hondas into the SAFER Barrier. Andretti got the worst of it physically, limping away with bruised knees and an injured right foot.
But Hunter-Reay was hurting too as he struggled to find the words to describe what had happened.
"It's real unfortunate," he said quietly. "I had been running side by side with all the frontrunners all night. Marco just crowded me on the way in there. I unfortunately should have just held my line and driven into him. We would have ended up the same way. But I went down onto the apron trying to avoid him."
Replays showed the cars were very close entering Turn 3, but when Hunter-Reay touched the white line, the rear of his car got unstable and the No. 17 Ethanol council-sponsored car drifted up in to Andretti's No. 26 machine operated by Andretti Green Racing.
"There wasn't even a car width there for me," said Hunter-Reay, who ended up 20th, one spot behind Andretti. "The thing is, had he kept coming down on the straightaway, that would have told me he wanted the inside line and I would have let it go. But he left that door open and then he just turned in pretty early.
"It's a racing incident at 220 mph and it's unfortunate," he continued. "I really feel that had I not been side by side with Marco, I would have been side by side with Dixon and I would have won or finished second in that race."
Not surprisingly, Andretti disputed Hunter-Reay's version of events.
"I feel kind of bad for both of us," he said. "But the fact is there are some guys you can run close with and some guys you can't. He clearly hit the white line and that's that.
"We ran well today, but to me that doesn't matter," Andretti added. "We need to bring home results."
RHR's crash, combined with some bad luck for Vitor Meira and Panther Racing, meant that the IndyCar Series' big three teams (Ganassi Racing, Team Penske and AGR) once again controlled the top six finishing positions.
Meira finished seventh, a lap down after the alternate pit stop strategy that put him in position to lead 38 laps and contend for the win ended up backfiring on the Panther crew.
A Lap 213 full-course caution for Enrique Bernoldi's crash left Meira a lap down just moments after he made his final pit stop. The yellow allowed the rest of the leaders to make it to the finish without stopping again.
"Our car was just awesome when we were running up front," Meira reported. "The team made one fuel-only stop early in the race, so we were about 10 laps off sequence and I was pulling away."
The Andretti/Hunter-Reay crash allowed Meira to move up to seventh place at the flag. "This is another good race for us and another step forward," he said. "The confidence level at Panther is really, really high right now."
Although the race ended with him sitting in the infield medical center, Hunter-Reay took encouragement from Rahal Letterman's effort as well.
"I'm very positive about what we can do, but I don't think we're going to roll out in the top three every weekend," he said. "It's just so hard to break through in this series. Finally we had a breakthrough, but I just can't catch a break."

Jessica Alba in Designer Jeans
Can you guess which actresses butt this is in a pair of MiH jeans?
Jessica Alba in 7 For All Mankind
This is probably my favorite Jessica Alba outfit. She looks so clean and smart here. Nothing is too fussy and all the pieces compliment each other, yet stand out on their own.
Jessica was spotted in a parking lot in Los Angeles, California earlier this month. She wore a pair of 7 For All Mankind Gummy leggings in Charcoal Grey with a Helmut Lang Raven print slit pocket tee for the day out. Jessica has such amazing legs. These jeggings are such a great fit on her. Sienna Miller, Kim Kardashian, and Ashlee Simpson are also fans of the 7FAM Gummy Leggings. You can click here to read Lorna's review on these and click here to purchase them at Boutique To You for $169 or in the sale at Singer22 for $118.
Jessica Alba in J Brand
This girl can really rock a pair of cropped jeans. We have spotted her in the style many times, like her MiH Paris crops to the J Brand Houlihans and they fit her great. This time Jessica Alba was spotted wearing the new Gigi fit in Shadow by J Brand. I knew Jessica was going to wear these, it was just a matter of when she was going to be spotted in them.
Jessica kept to her usual attire be pairing her jeans with a plaid shirt and a some of lace flats. This is the second sighting of a celebrity in the Gigi. We last spotted January Jones wearing these in Pure a couple weeks back. Who do you think wore these better? My vote goes to Jessica, the fit is more flattering on her. Click here to purchase these jeans at J Brand for $163.
