Gion Matsuri Festival
Often referred as one of Japan's biggest three festivals, the Gion Matsuri festival is Kyoto's liveliest of gatherings. In July, ornate, portable shrines and floats called mikoshi are paraded down the streets, widely described as "mobile art museums". Children adorned in traditional make up and musicians playing various instruments sit atop these floats and entertain the joy-filled audience below.
Hana Touro Festivals
Kyoto is another one of Japan's cities that values the culture and history behind local festivals. During the wintertime, the Kyoto Arashiyama Hana Touro is the most celebrated festival by the Japanese. Here, locals will line the central river with 2,600 illuminated lanterns and large ikebana flower displays. A tour of the festival is available for those who want to learn more about this valued tradition. Moreover, in the spring time, visitors flock to the Kyoto Higashiyama Hana Touro, which is one of Kyoto's most popular festival. Residents will line the busy Higashoji Street with flowers and lanterns made from traditional Japanese materials as visitors take a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood. An English tour of the Higashiyama festival is also available to those who would like to participate in this famous event.

For fans of the Roaring Fork Valley, a winter visit is a little like watching a top-level snowboarding competition. Every season, new restaurants, shops and art galleries pop up hopefully like 'boarders airing out of a halfpipe, each one hoping to impress with his or her tricks.
The best part is that most of the newbies have the moves already because they're so often run by veterans of the business — such as New Belgium's Ranger Station or retailers such as Kate Spade opening outposts from admired designers — looking to make their mark.
Lodging properties also have long known that it's change or die — visitors to this part of Colorado have many options, and they will move on if rooms become too dated or don't offer the latest amenities.
There's a fine line between a little change and too much, however. For Aspen's Hotel Jerome, for instance, preserving the history of the 1889 hotel was important to the town as it went about its first major remodel in 27 years, a four-month undertaking.
"We had locals calling, worried about what was going on behind the covered-up windows, and I kept saying, 'Just wait until the 14th to see,' " said hotel general manager Tony DiLucia of the Dec. 14 reopening.
Why now, after 27 years?
"It was time," DiLucia said. "It had lived its beautiful life as a Victorian hotel since 1985. We also had some mechanical and infrastructure upgrades that needed to be done, and we needed to have the hotel become more energy-efficient. We wanted to add three treatment rooms to the spa, things like that."
For some visitors to the area, though, it's a sense of continuity, rather than change, that makes the difference.
"We came back here because we really liked the skiing and the food," said Tomas Moretti while riding the Sky Cab Gondola at Snowmass. "We just make our way around the town, trying as many restaurants as possible. I don't think we've had a bad meal yet."
Moretti was staying in Aspen but skiing Snowmass for the second time in two years with his girlfriend, Fee Bachmeier. Moretti and Bachmeier live outside of Hamburg, Germany, and were sharing a condo in Aspen with a group of friends from several European locales. "This place has a good amount of nightlife and quiet," said Bachmeier. "Everyone is very nice. You can find a lot of things to do when you aren't skiing."
And if you're interested in seeing an actual top-level snowboarding — and skiing — competition, the X Games start Thursday and run through Sunday on Buttermilk Mountain (denverpost.com/xgames).
Hotel Jerome
The iconic hotel reopened in December after a four-month renovation, and fans of the 1889 property will be relieved to know that the building's historical integrity has been left alone. What this mostly interior remodel did was recast the public and private areas in warm tones of blue (courtesy of the windows) and update the furnishings so that the place feels organically generated rather than stiff and formal — photos lean above headboards, and knickknacks are strewn about, while the plasma TVs are set in elaborate frames rather than jutting awkwardly from the walls.
Good luck getting a seat at the ever-popular and also updated J-Bar, but there's no reason you can't snack on spicy-sweet chipotle wings and spinach-and-artichoke dip in the privacy of your own cozy room, which also offers a free wet bar stocked with chips, Peruvian chocolate bars, pepper-spiked jerky and bottled iced tea. The warm and inviting public spaces, including the lobby bar and aptly named Living Room, are sure to stay filled with folks not lucky enough to be staying there. This is one of those rare places where the minutiae matters and service is a seamless part of the experience, not a wearisome duty. Rates start at $800 per night.
330 E. Main St., 800-331-7213, hoteljerome.aubergeresorts.com
Westin Snowmass
The former Silvertree Hotel and Conference Center is now the Westin Snowmass Resort, and like the Westin in Beaver Creek, this slopeside site could not have a better location — here it's strap on your boards at the super-friendly and efficient ski valet, walk out the door and choose your lift.
Snowmass Kitchen on the below-level floor sends out contemporary American fare along with Colorado microbrews, but you can also eat or have a drink at the Vue bar area (check out the fresh-crab cakes and the burger).
As we've come to expect from the brand, the rooms feature the Heavenly Beds, the Kids Club with its well-thought-out activities, and a pretty spa. The pool and hot-tub area is small but nicely tucked away. Overall, this is a good choice for families. Rates start at $299 per night.
100 Elbert Lane, Snowmass Village, 970-923-8200, westinsnowmass.com
The Wildwood Snowmass
Another good option for families as well as people who don't go to bed at 9 p.m., the Westin's groovy sister property next door, the Wildwood Snowmass, is slightly cheaper and sports a hipper feel ( columnist Kara Williams reviewed it more in-depth in the Dec. 11 OutWest). The rooms look like they were designed by a minimalist Nordic teenager, in a good way.
The Wildwood Snowmass is packed with cool spots for hanging out. The Bar is like an underground beer hall, where New Belgium brews flow and the communal tables encourage meet-ups. The lobby lounge is made for games, with colorful cube cushions that can be moved around and board games galore. Play pinball and video games in the Arcave Room, and have a buffet breakfast in the casual Canteen. Rates start at $199 per night.

Element 47 at The Little Nell
Let's face it, Montagna was tired. The prix fixe menu has been going the way of Big Gulps and tank tops, and the dining-room design just wasn't working for patrons who wanted to be in on the action. Enter Bentel & Bentel, who did the magnificent redesign on New York's Le Bernardin in 2011, hired to make Element 47 — the name refers to silver on the periodic table — just as elegantly hip yet not a turn-off to the local regulars.
Done and done.
"They asked us for our input," says Csaba "Chubby" Oveges, Element 47's manager. "The employees were consulted for thoughts on flow, comforts, things that could make guests' experiences better. I think that has made all the difference."
The entrance is a long, narrow lounge area with bar and seating nooks, all of which leads into the main dining area, awash with cappuccino, cobalt and charcoal colors offset by red retro glassware. Where there had been separate, isolated seating areas are levels that offer a view and a modicum of intimacy — you see who comes and goes, but once they're seated, there's a sense of privacy. The mod banquettes are comfortable and feature unique fold-down arms at the ends.
Where Montagna never failed, though, and Element 47 still shines, is in the kitchen and its service. Chef Robert McCormick makes multitextured, semi-structural dishes that are tiny works of art and dynamically flavorful. Nantucket Bay scallops crafted into a ceviche with pickled onions, for instance, pitted sweet seafood against tart pomegranates and even tangier pickled onions, while tortellini filled with sweet-tart Anjou pears played against the umami of tender slips of Wagyu bresaola and pickled chanterelles. The dishes are broken into small, medium and large plates, so you control your portions.
The most enjoyable way to approach wines here is to let wine director Jonathan Pullis and his staff pair for you, but if you go for a bottle from the gorgeous wine wall, one of the best ideas is sommelier Carlton McCoy's "What We're Drinking!!" wine list, which distills the monster roster down to a digestible portion of fun wines we want to drink, too (forgot about Sancerre? McCoy will remind you why not to).
This would also be a good time to maybe skip every other course and eat the entire dessert menu. Executive pastry chef Danielle Riesz likes to throw in a little something extra that kicks her creations up a notch, and so ginger and pear accent her ganache and crème fraiche and apple jam counter her apple cider doughnuts — nothing overwhelms, everything is a sweet or savory accent you're dying to try, and it all echoes the attention to details at Element 47.
675 E. Durant Ave., Aspen, 970-920-6330, element47aspen.com
More new dining options
The Meatball Shack likes to make lots of references to male body parts, but when it comes right down to it, the menu is weirdly serious, created by a Tuscan-born chef. The meatballs come in veal, chicken, even lobster, and there's also a "Shack mac" with orecchiette and tater tots, as well as tuna tartare on the menu. But then: fried Oreos. Early in the day, this is family-friendly, but after dinner, the 21-35 set parties hard. The bartender shared that a Cherry Creek North locale is in the offing, possibly this summer.
312 S. Mill St., 970-925-1349, themeatballshack.com
Above the Salt, from the owners of Wild Fig, CP Burger and the refurbished Popcorn Wagon, opened in March and is ideal for folks coming off the mountain looking for a casual spot for sharing Italian-inspired small plates. The simply decorated eatery has painted white brick walls and offers its wine lists on chalkboards, and the dishes are much like at their other restaurants: fresh, fresh ingredients such as shaved fennel and arugula with crispy prosciutto salad, or a pizza of roasted eggplant and Basalt's Avalanche goat cheese, or acorn squash agnolotti with braised local rabbit.
305 S. Mill St., Aspen, 970-544-3399, cprestaurants.com
Aspen Over Easy is a breakfast-and-lunch spot that does 10 eggs Benedict dishes as well as gluten-free pancakes and waffle sliders for kids, and some zippy Bloody Marys. Lunch includes a smoked ribeye burger and a grilled mahi-mahi sandwich. The smoothies are pricey but big and filling.
304 E. Hopkins Ave., Aspen, 970-429-8693, aspenovereasy.com
Wally's Aspen delivers, and how. Hungry at 2 a.m.? You still have an hour before this new late-night delivery service will stop sending out giant sandwiches, rice bowls and tacos, or Wally's Wonder Buns, some of which have bacon in the center and maple- cream-cheese icing. Order a dozen because you will want more in the morning. Delivers 8 p.m.-3 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday.
Aspen, 970-379-7041, wallysaspen.com
Ryno's Pies & Pints is a below-street-level, exposed-brick sports bar with plenty of TVs, foosball, video games and space for groups, as well as 10 beers on tap for $5 and under. It's also family-friendly and loud, which is perfect for gathering the gang together to get a big, thick-edged pizza with tons of toppings or hand-cut fries with cheese fondue. The loaded-baked-potato soup is a local favorite. When the weather warms up, the patio will be key.
430 E. Cooper Ave., Aspen, 970-922-7966, rynoaspen.com
For New Belgium brew fans, the Ranger Station is a brilliant idea, ideally situated right off the Snowcab gondola at Snowmass. With its casual "park ranger" theme and accommodating staff, as well as a menu filled with such hearty comfort foods as bison chili in a bread bowl and create-your-own grilled cheeses with mustard schmears, the concept has après-ski party time written all over it. Try one of the 10 NB beers on tap or take on one of the Lips of Faith, their rotating offerings.
100 Elbert Lane, Snowmass Village, 970-236-6277, rangerstation.org
Elk Camp Restaurant off the Elk Camp Gondola at Snowmass cost $15 million to update and counts a huge, fresh salad bar, locally sourced ingredients and a spacious bar and lounge area, but it's an uncomfortable experience when it's packed (a woman spilled my soup into my salad, ruining a $24 lunch, oops). Once you find a seat, which could take 10 to 15 minutes even at off-peak times, you may battle to leave. The coolest thing about the place is the art on the back wall by local singer and DJ Dave Muller, who compiled the favorite albums of 86 Aspen Skiing Co. employees and lists them across the bottom of the ski-themed painting.

Even if you will never be able to afford Brunello Cucinelli, a few quiet moments in this lovely shop is a treat. Purveyors of rare cashmere shearling — as soft and fine as air — this outpost of the Umbria, Italy-based chain has artfully arranged the now-trademark dusky-gray, cream and other soft-toned pieces from this collection in a way that begs you to visit.
508 E. Cooper Ave., Aspen, 970-544-0600, brunellocucinelli.com
Heidi Hat is run by former ski instructor Heidi Wade, and some of the whimsical, print-topped hats, as well as its yoga attire, are designed by her daughter, Kelly Wade, who counts Melanie Griffith as a famous fan. Be sure to check out the second-floor shop year-round, because the summer wear is just coming in.
520 E. Cooper Ave., Aspen, heidihat.com
At Kate Spade, it seems as though pink will be the new black forever, and that's just fine. The bright and vibrant store is friendly and cheery, and the staff welcomes all at this, the only Colorado location of the 38-store chain, which has an expansive selection of handbags, clothing and jewelry.
307 S. Galena St., Aspen, 970-925-1373, kate-spade.com
What the small, sweet Blitz Boutique lacks in size it makes up for in quality and trendiness, offering the latest must-haves (right now: Druzy Stones, unpolished quartz, and splashy colors such as burnt orange and bright fuschia). BCBG, Nicole Miller and Trina Turk find space in the cozy shop (the original is in Vail), which has a welcome fireplace and a charming staff.
414 E. Cooper Ave., Aspen, 970-544-0003, blitzvail.com
Patagonia Snowmass sits at the base of the Westin Snowmass, and it's hard to walk past the window without taking a peek at the latest from the environmentally conscious outdoor clothing icon. Kidswear, fleece, capilene, you name it. The only question is, when are the sales?

Video: Metro Bus Drivers Concerned About Safety After Attacks
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Metro bus drivers are asking for protection.
A gunman opened fire on a bus Sunday night killing a woman and wounding her child. The bus operator was also hit and his Union says it's but the latest incident.
The Metro Bus Operators Union says some shields were added but not nearly enough.
They point to the shooting over this past weekend in which Selina Brown was shot to death and her 23 month old daughter wounded as they tried to board a Metro bus.
The still unidentified bus driver was also hit in the gunfire in that attack.
Cameras have been added to the buses.
Metro today refused to provide 9News with existing video of attacks on its operators, responding to the request as follows, and providing a statement:
"Regarding your video request: Cameras throughout the system, including those on buses, capture hours of video. Without a specific incident to search for it is difficult for transit police to find a random incident involving a bus operator. Additionally, if the video is part of an active investigation Transit Police typically decline to release it... such is the case with Sunday's incident, though it is part of an MPD investigation."
Regarding bus safety in general:
The safety and security of our passengers and employees is our number one priority. While Sunday's incident was not the direct result of a dispute that originated on a Metrobus, we recognize that these types of occurrences, while rare, can and do occur. Metro Transit Police, in partnership with local police departments, respond with increased patrols when situations such as these transpire. This is currently taking place and we will continue those efforts for the foreseeable future.

Today I would like you to write a review of the book we just finished reading in class, "Double Identity." I have included some helpful tips on how to write a review. Please read the assignment carefully before beginning and use loose-leaf paper to complete your pre-writing and a draft before beginning to type. Once your re-writing and draft are done (including revising and editing), you may begin your final copy on your blog. Please take your time and remember to spell check your work before submitting it.
How to Write a Book Review
What is a Book Review?
A book review is a description and an
evaluation of a book that you have read.
Book reviews are helpful because they inform future readers about books they may be interested in reading. Often, a book review will influence other readers by telling them a little bit about what the story is about, as well as if is is worth reading or not!
The most important thing to remember is that book reviews DO NOT give away the ending or anything else that may spoil the book for someone else!
4 steps to follow when writing a book review:
(Note: You do not have to answer every question; these are only suggestions to guide your writing.)
1. Write at least 3-4 sentences about the plot
What was the story about?
Who were the main characters?
What did the main characters do in the story?
Did the main characters run into any problems?
Who was your favorite character? Why?
2. Your personal experiences
Could you relate to any of the characters in
the story?
Have you ever done some of the things or felt
some of the same things that the characters
3. Your opinion
Did you like the book?
What was your favorite part of the book?
Do you have a least favorite part of the book?
If you could change something in the book,
what would it be?
4. Your recommendation
Would you recommend this book to another
What type of person would like this book?

A new report from the Ohio School Boards Association, "Guide to Charter or Community Schools," says that while it was hoped that the freedom and flexibility provided to charter and community schools would raise student achievement, 22 years after the charter movement began, such expectations have yet to be realized.
The guide reports that while a few charter or community schools are among the best schools in Ohio, most of the lowest performing schools are charter or community schools. More than 60 percent of Ohio's charter or community schools were rated "D" or "F" on 2012-13 State Report Cards. Only 20 percent of Ohio's traditional public schools were rated "D" or "F." The majority of Ohio's traditional schools—more than 50 percent—were rated "A" or "B." The guide says that when only test scores—including SAT and ACT scores—are considered, traditional public schools consistently outperform charters across the nation.
The guide also reports that deeper analysis of the data shows that charter or community schools focusing on student achievement and discipline can improve low-income student performance.
The guide points out that every Ohio student that leaves a traditional public school to attend a charter or community school takes $5,800 in tax revenue with them every year, which would have gone to the student's school district, reducing resources to fund traditional schools.

How did you get into broadcasting?
I never had a desire or plan to get into broadcasting. In fact, one of my housemates at Bowdoin was the program director of the college station, WBOR, who was always after me to give it a try. After graduation and a slow start as an illustrator in Boston, I found myself back at home in Maine, unemployed, when I got a call from another Bowdoin friend. He was headed to Portland for an interview at a radio station, so I went along for the ride and stayed at his apartment on the couch for a few weeks. One day the phone rang, and it was the program director from my friend's station, WJBQ. He explained that one of the DJs had just quit and asked if there was anyone in the house that could do an air shift from midnight to 6:00 a.m. I told him that I had never done radio before, but he said that was okay, and to just be at the station by 11:30, and someone would show me how to run the music. I've been in radio ever since.

Beemers sold me a quad in November, other than his stash I'm unaware of anyone who has any good ones. My surviving CFamp runs daily.

Bust out your Lord of the Rings costumes, read up on your Tolkien, and get ready for the next installment in the Lord of the Rings theatrical series: The Hobbit. Set some years before The Fellowship of the Ring, The Hobbit follows the adventures of a young Bilbo Baggins. While traveling to the Lonely Mountain with a band of dwarves, Bilbo finds himself encountering all sorts of fantastical creatures, including the dragon Smaug. Danger, fantasy, Halflings, dragons, what more could you need in a movie?
While it will still be some time before we see Peter Jacksons vision, a From Production video was released onto the Internet today, starring the infamous Peter Jackson himself. He leads the viewer through the various parts of the films production, from the artists to the visually attractive movie sets. If you are as diehard a fan as me, this is an astonishing glimpse into the magic behind the movie. Pay extra special attention to the detail in the weaponry.
You can view The Hobbit production trailer here!
To truly capture the full story within The Hobbit, Peter Jackson is breaking the movie into two separate parts, with the first movie coming out sometime in 2012 and the second in 2013. If we followed the previous movies length, we are looking at a 5- to 6-hour film, with a years worth of intermission. From Peter Jackson, I would expect nothing less.
Some say that the Lord of the Ring series is the greatest series of all time. These people are correct; everyone else is wrong. Sure, if you have yet to see the Lord of the Rings, your ignorance is excusable. But if you have seen the movies and still do not enjoy them, then you should see a doctor something is wrong with you. Go back and watch, or read, the series again.

The Prometheus-class was a highly classified Federation starship designed for deep-space tactical assignments. It was one of the most advanced Starfleet vessels in operation during the later half of the 24th century.
This class' prototype, the USS Prometheus, was launched from the Beta Antares Ship Yards in the Antares sector on stardate 50749.5. At the time of its launch, the Prometheus was so highly classified that only four people in all of Starfleet were trained to operate the prototype. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
In an alternate timeline, vessels of the Prometheus-class were among the Federation fleet that engaged the forces of the Sphere Builders during the Battle of Procyon V in the 26th century (ENT: "Azati Prime").
Technical data
Propulsion system
The warp drive on board the Prometheus-class was designed to go faster at warp speeds than any other class of ship in the fleet at the time. It was capable of attaining speeds exceeding warp 9.9.
Defensive systems
The Prometheus-class was designed with an unprecedented level of automation, and, combined with its advanced tactical systems, was one of the most powerful combat ships in the Alpha Quadrant. The primary battle systems on board the Prometheus included regenerative shielding, ablative hull armor, as well as phasers and photon torpedoes.
A unique feature included in the Prometheus design was the multi-vector assault mode, which allowed the ship to split into three semi-independent sections that could each deliver massive force against an enemy target. All three sections were warp-capable. In this mode, the Prometheus could easily disable a Nebula-class at warp, or a D'deridex-class on the field of battle. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle"). While other starship classes had similar capabilities, like the Galaxy-class with its saucer separation feature, generally the saucer section of such classes had no warp drive and limited weapons. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Arsenal of Freedom", "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")
Additional systems
In addition to standard automation systems, the Prometheus-class design also featured holoemitters on every deck, which allowed the ship's Emergency Medical Hologram (Mark II) to access all areas of the ship (most EMHs were confined to sickbay only).
Primary controls for the ventilation system were located in Jefferies tube 17, which was located five decks up from sickbay. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
Interior design
Main Bridge
The fact that the Prometheus class was mainly designed for combat was reflected in the design of its bridge. The bridge was obviously designed with efficiency in mind, providing the commanding officer with visual access to all major stations when seated in the command chair. Directly in front of the captain's chair, sunken down with three steps, was the location of the operations officer and conn stations, combined in one large console. Both officers shared an unobstructed view of the main viewscreen with the commanding officer. All other stations were mounted against the wall, running around the entire length of the room. Directly aft of the captain's chair was the master systems display, with Engineering and Tactical stations to the left and right, respectively, and to the captain's left and right, beyond these stations, were doors that both provided access to the turbolift system. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
Ships commissioned
- Named
- USS Prometheus (NX-59650, prototype)
- Unnamed
- ENT: "Azati Prime"
Background information
The Prometheus class was designed by Star Trek: Voyager senior illustrator Rick Sternbach and rendered as a CGI model by Foundation Imaging. The Prometheus-class interiors were designed by Voyager production designer Richard James, using re-dressed portions of the re-created USS Excelsior bridge that James had made for "Flashback", the USS Voyager sickbay, and a number of new sets. One year later, the bridge set went on to again be redressed, for the Nova-class USS Equinox.
Maximum speed
Rick Sternbach notes that the "Prometheus would come in at roughly 1,360 feet (414 meters) in length". (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 11) A length of 414 meters was also shown on a page from an Eden FX manual. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 24)
Additional readings
In the DS9 relaunch series of novels Avatar, Book One and Book Two, a Prometheus-class starship named USS Cerberus served as Admiral William Ross's personal flagship, replacing the USS Bellerophon.
In the game Star Trek Online, the class is categorized as an "advanced escort", with sister classes named Cerberus, Hephaestus, and Phoenix. When the class was initially added to the game, it did not feature multi-vector assault mode. This was added at a later date via a "multi-vector assault module" console and also included an alternate ship configuration.

The Candy 3 gets a similar makeover as its brethren but through the use of some less expensive materials, namely cast stainless wings, the cost stays down.
The same cleat as before is included. It offers 6 degrees of float and a 15 to 20 degree release angle. Cleats fit any 2 bolt SPD style shoe.
Best pedals I've ever owned. They are on all my mountain and road bikes. Great platform, look cool, and the easiest clip in in the business. They do tend to wear cleats quickly but better to wear cleats than the pedal itself.
I've been riding Crank Bro for years...but over the past few months, I've been beating the crap out of my Mallet 3s...and on more than one occasion I've almost come to a compete stop after hitting a rock or root. So time to go to something smaller, so I got the Candy 3's in red. They hook up and release great right out of the box. I would advise going ahead and replacing the cleats on your shoes when you get new peddles too.... I no longer have the bashing issues due to their size. My only complaint is that since I don't have as much peddle surface, I'm not able to disconnect on some more technical sections and still peddle thru...but that's my issue and not the pedals.
been using these for several months. light, strong, great style and are a great way to accessorize your ride. I purchased the Blue and the color is holding up well and has yet to show any wear. The Candy 3 sheds mud really well and stays clipped in tight through rocky and root-filled PA trails. Easy to clip in the first time and easy to adjust to if transitioning from SPD-type pedals. I would recommend to friends.
replaced my standard eggbeaters with these in hopes the platform would help getting into them. Great Buy. These are easier to get into and if you don't get in right away you can still peddle on (clipping in right on a climb..) Cost a bit more than the standard ones but worth the $$. I used to slip around every once and a while trying to get into the standard Crank Bros but these eliminated the issue. Even if I don't mate it up right off the bat I can still pedal on without worrying. Worth the extra money. The roll action is smooth on these as well. Had mine for 6 months now. Still feel smooth.
These have got to be some of the best Cross/Mountain pedals out there. Easy in and out. I run them on my cyclocross, hardtal, and full suspension and would never even think about another pedal!!!
These are hands down the best pedals available. Great flotation and easy entry/exit. Extremely durable, which is good since I am abusive with pedals.
I love these pedals. Super easy to clip in and they have adjustable release points depending on which way you face the cleats on your shoes. They do take a bit of force to get them to click in initially but once the cleats wear in a bit clicking in is a snap. I tried shimano pedals and felt like they clicked in too easy and released too easy for my tastes.

The latest entry into this hugely successful series continues to push the boundaries of football games, creating a true battle for possession across the pitch, and connecting the fans to the sport – and to each other – more than ever before.
FIFA 13 delivers five new innovations in gameplay to revolutionise your matches, and more online features to make you really feel part of the beautiful game.
FIFA 13 for PlayStation 3 Features
- New First Touch Control – ball control gets real!
- New Attacking Intelligence – attack as a team!
- New Complete Dribbling – every touch matters!
- New Player Impact Engine – get defensive!
- New Tactical Free Kicks – psyche out your opponent!
- EA Sports Football Club – rewards, chats, challenges and more await online!
Experience teamwork like never before with the new Attacking Intelligence. This new intelligence will analyse plays and predict the direction of the ball, putting your fellow players where they need to be to create the best attacking opportunities. Break down defences, open passing channels and think two plays ahead to capitalise on runs and openings as they happen!
Be more creative when you have the ball with new Complete Dribbling. With precise touches and complete mobility, you can be more accurate and deadly as you control the ball. Shield the ball, move in one direction while facing another and hold off defenders for longer.
But it's not all about attacking – defenders get more control and win back possession with the Player Impact Engine. Push, pull and use your body to win possession or just to force your opponent into bad positions and poor touches.
Tactical Free Kicks ramps up the psychology and control for attack – and defence. Make dummy runs and increase passing and attacking options, or control the wall by changing the number of players and intercepting or blocking the shot.
Online and social features come to FIFA 13 with the EA Sports Football Club. Every game you play, whether it's with friends or within the game, is measured and you will be rewarded for your hard work. Earn and unlock special items from kits and celebrations to Virtual Pro Attribute Boosts and Super Scout Credits in Career mode. With 100 levels there's chance for every player to build and improve, driving your team towards promotion – or just struggling against relegation. And with real-life events driving challenges within the game, FIFA 13 will reflect real football like never before!

Spike Jonze's latest film, Her, has been met with critical acclaim for direction, screenplay, and acting. But the hottest topic of discussion? Joaquin Phoenix's staple high-waisted pants.
Image via The Hollywood News
Despite the movie's setting in the not-so-distant future, this wardrobe choice is decidedly old-fashioned. Is it an act of rebellion against the skinny, low-rise pants that men are sporting these days? A step away from the hipster norm? Whatever it is, the style appears to be here to stay, at least for a while – a collection from Opening Ceremony was launched in conjunction with the film.
But not too long, I hope. I was just taking a liking to skinny jeans…

What 10 Minutes on Care2.com Can DoWritten by Alterra Hetzel
Where can you send an e-card, sign a petition, find a healthy recipe for dinner and get the most recent cause-related news? Care2 has it all. With more than 50 employees, 15 million members, 600 nonprofit partners and hundreds of responsible advertisers, Care2 is promoting their causes by recruiting new donors, volunteers and grassroots advocates from civically active members who want to make a difference. Care2 is dedicated to making it easy for everyone to live a healthy, green lifestyle and impact the causes they care about most. So how does it work? Well, here was my 10-minute Care2 experience today. First I sent my husband a "Just Cuz" e-card, where I was able to pick from many cute messages that were sure to make him smile. Then, I signed the petition "Demand Clean Energy Jobs Now" from one my favorite causes Repower America. Since I had no plans for dinner, I clicked over to the Green Living section and grabbed a black bean tostada recipe for tonight. I feel like I just accomplished so much in only 10 minutes! Before I left the site I checked our one of the ways that Care2 is supporting Carbonfund.org, which is through their "Free Click to Donate" program. Members' "free clicks" generate donations from Care2 sponsors. 100% of the donations raised in the global warming section go directly to Carbonfund.org, which we then use to support renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects globally. These projects are reducing carbon dioxide emissions and the threat of climate change.

A Hartsville man charged with abducting and assaulting two teenage girls in a makeshift underground dungeon wants to be released on bond.
But two South Carolina judges have said no.
Convicted sex offender Kenneth Hinson asked a judge to release him on bond for the burglary charges he also faces.
Hinson was arrested last week, four days after the girls were abducted and sexually assaulted.
He will remain behind bars in Darlington County.

Former Republican state Sen. Peter Mills will take over the reins at the Maine Turnpike Authority as the quasi-state agency tries to emerge from a cloud of scandal over its spending practices. Mills, a lawyer and two-time gubernatorial candidate, will finish out the six months left in the one-year term of former Executive Director Paul Violette, and could be reappointed by the board. Violette resigned last week after 24 years at the helm, under investigation by legislators for giving away $157,000 in gift certificates for hotels and restaurants, and failing to record who got them.
Board members say hiring a new director is designed to restore public trust in the 550-employee agency, along with its decision to order an independent audit of turnpike finances. Mills (right) agrees.
"One of my principal goals, one of the principal themes that I have discussed with the board, is bringing a somewhat greater sense of transparency, to let the public understand that it's a well-managed and well-run organization, that it's a successful organization," he says.
Board member Jim Cloutier says that message has been lost in the state Legislature. Some legislators have proposed folding the Turnpike Authority into the Department of Transportation--something Mills and board members oppose.
"We were very sensitive in our search for an interim director to find someone who has the experience and the knowledge to both bring that message to Augusta, but also to bring the message from Augusta of what their hopes, expectations and policy ideas are," Cloutier says.
Legislators on both sides of the political aisle praised Mills' appointment--among them, State Sen. David Trahan, a Republican from Waldoboro. "Peter is a good honest man, he's very, very smart," Trahan says. "I think he would do a good job in that position. I certainly have confidence in him."
But Trahan, who's investigating the Turnpike's spending as part of the Legislature's government oversight committee, says that the agency still has many more reforms to make.
A new policy at the Turnpike Authority to require that--in addition to the executive director--the staff attorney and chief financial officer to report directly to the board is fine and good, says Trahan. But he thinks it lacks teeth, and should be put into statute, along with other ideas he supports.
"I'd like to see no more gifts and contributions to various associations," he says. "And I think that should apply to all state agencies. Taking taxpayers' money or toll money and then distributing it to your friends is not what state government should be doing with taxpayer money."
Though Trahan and others have criticized the practice, along with the agency's use of outside lobbyists, neither is expressedly prohibited in state statute.
In the meantime, Trahan's committee continues to investigate the operations at the Turnpike Authority, and plans to interview top Turnpike officials, including former Executive Director Violette on April 15. The committee is also locating gift certificate recipients and vendors, and so far has issued a subpoena for records to the Marriott hotel chain to find out who redeemed the certificates.
In the meantime, auditors hired by the Turnpike Authority from the firm of Runyon Kersteen Ouellette say they will be investigating "potentially abusive or frauduulent activities" by reviewing credit card use, gift card transactions and personal use of agency vehicles.
"Overall, the Turnpike Authority has done a fairly decent job of maintaining that road, but what they have to do is they've got to have better controls on the administrative end of it," says Democratic state Rep. Ed Mazurek, the ranking minority member on the Legislature's Transportation Committee, which is the oversight body for the Turnpike Authority.
Mazurek says that the board of directors must start meeting with the committee on an annual or semi-annual basis, and not leave it all to the executive director. But Mazurek says he's comforted that Peter Mills has filled the job.
"From what I know of Peter serving with him in the Legislature, I think he'd be a good calming influence and that's what I think the turnpike needs right now," he says.
Board members said the choice of Peter Mills was made in consultation with the governor's office. Mills says talks began with the deputy commissioner of transportation and board members in the last two weeks.
Mills says that among his priorities are making the Turnpike Authority more accessible to the Legislature through tools like the website. He also wants to use the turnpike and its plazas to promote tourism. "I think we need to make this into a red-carpet reception for people coming into the state of Maine. That means as soon as practically possible, creating a high-speed tolling facility at the south end of the pike," he says.
Mills, who's 67, says now that he's not in the Legislature and has wound down his law practice, he can commit to the job--though for how long he isn't sure. "I'm not going to be here for 23 years the way my predecessor was--I'd be 90," he says. "So it's not a long-term expectation on my part, but I'd like to be here for as long as the job requires."
Mills' salary has not been negotiated yet, but he says it will be "appropriately modest" and lower than Violette's salary of $128,400. Violette got about $29,000 worth in benefits, but Mills says he won't ask for benefits.

Very interested to see this one progress, as I'm kinda-sorta working on a steampunk themed project myself.
If I may make a suggestion, a good way to suggest the steampunk theme might be in the symbols you use for cities, lots of smokestacks and steel. Adding in railways might help as well.

On January 5, 2010, Google announced its Nexus One wireless handsets powered by Android 2.1, only slightly more than a year after the announcement of the first Android-powered phone, HTC's G1. The phone is sold by Google and manufactured by HTC.
Andy Rubin, VP of Engineering of Google explained that
"The Nexus One belongs in the emerging class of devices which we call
superphones,' with the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset making it as powerful as your laptop computer of three to four years ago.
We look forward to working with handset manufacturers and operators to bring more phones to market through this channel worldwide.
For the time being, the phone is sold in Google's online store for $529 without contract and $179 with a 2-year contract with T-Mobile. But Google said that Verizon Wireless and Vodafone will also get the Nexus One phone soon.
"We believe that the overall market for unsubsidized phones at $579 would be rather limited. Most of the volume is likely to be from heavily subsidized phones associated with activation of T Mobile service plans. During the first quarter, Nexus One is likely to be only at T Mobile. Given the smaller size of the carrier, we believe that the uptake in the first quarter will be relatively low. AT&T had previously commented that iPhone accounted for 40% of its gross adds. If T Mobile USA would see a similar ratio, then the volume for Nexus could be in the range of 1 million for the first quarter" says CreditSights' Senior Analyst -Telecom and Telecom Suppliers Zhiping Zhao.
What's the strategy for Google in the mobile world?
Google has been eyeing mobile space as an area for future growth. However, the design and sale of its own branded phones does raise the question on what the intention of the company is within the mobile space says CreditSights' Senior Analyst -Telecom and Telecom Suppliers- Zhiping Zhao. And she continues: "To date, Google has pushed for three main avenues to enter the mobile arena. First is clearly mobile advertising – which it recently acquired AdMob. We also believe that Google wants to replicate its internet ad success to the mobile space. Second is the investment in Clearwire. We believe there are and will be frictions between Google and carriers. The third possibility is that Google believes that it can be highly successful and profitable in the handset business –much like Apple has done. Given the generally low bar of user interface of phones from the traditional handset makers, well designed phones can indeed quickly gain traction – evidenced by Apple's iPhone. Since the introduction of iPhone in 2007, Apple has become the number three handset maker in terms of revenue."
Didier Durand, head of Architecture & Technology / Business Engineering at Publicitas believes in a promising long term strategy (his article on the topic, in French : http://media-tech.blogspot.com/2010/01/google-android-iphone-hegemonie-l...):
Google is serving its own direct interests: grow the use of the web (mobile or otherwise) in order to continue to grow its revenues to 98% advertising.
How to do this: lower the entry barrier (= handset + subscription) by starting with the handset, as it is the only one of the two components within its reach at present. The web must increase its existing 10-15% share of the advertising spend in order to achieve its own financial ambitions. This strategy attaches major importance to collaboration: in contrast to Apple, Google is not aligning itself with developers or with mobile operators. It offers them an alternative to arrogant Apple which allows them more scope to serve their own interests, while at the same time getting them to work in its direction. The Google project overtakes the industry that it wants to shake up in order to establish the bases for a much greater global presence: PointGPhone announces a microwave (connected to the Internet) and a washing machine driven by Android.
In the final instance, this strategy benefits from the patience that Google can afford to show and the money it can invest in the long term, with its tens of millions in the bank ....
The vision of components of our everyday lives running under Android may raise a smile today, but could this perhaps turn into a forced laugh for many players in various branches of industry if the omnipresence of Android in the tools of the everyday lives of consumers becomes a reality? And who, if not Google, cannot provide all these tools of everyday life with highly targeted advertising, and thus direct towards itself the global advertising spend valued at US$ 450 billion (75% of the 630 billion in 2007 – a result of the crisis ...) still firmly tied to the traditional media?
The test of online advertising blitz
Google said it plans to focus its marketing on the (Nexus One) phone online for now, a decision some analysts questioned in light of Apple's marketing blitz for the iPhone. 'Unless [Google] gives it a big push with marketing dollars, which they are not, consumers aren't going to know the phone exists,' said Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart (source : Google Opens New Front in Smart Phone Battle, Wall Street Journal, January 6)
Those who think that the Nexus One has no chance to get known in the market are making a big mistake: Google has joined the top 10 worldwide brands without having to spend even one dollar on advertising. Due to this high profile, on its homepage it can in future display an ad 30,000 times per second (the equivalent of several million dollars daily!) for Nexus One. It has already started!, says Didier Durand (http://media-tech.blogspot.com/2010/01/nexus-one.html#links)

I asked Eric in another thread where he's planning to travel this upcoming year, and I thought it would be even more fun to ask all of you. Where are you planning to go? What are you planning to do? And, which bags are you going to take?
Here's my list so far:
1. Lexington, KY (January)
This is just a quick long weekend trip with Mrs B., one of our grad school friends, and Titus and Hector. We're going to visit another grad school friend who teaches there. Big plans for the trip include catching up, drinking various things, and exploring the city. Biggest plan? Having coffee with Janine, and fulfilling my life-long dream of presenting her with Suddenly SALAD, a box of Hy-Vee Crispy Hexagons and some Italian kleenex.
Bags: Western Flyer, Synapse.
2. Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles (March)
I think the entire academic world decided to have all of its major conventions in Vegas this year, so I'll be going to play video poker. I mean present a paper. Mrs B. and I will re-live our 2011-12 trip to Italy by marveling at the fake Grand Canal in the Venetian Hotel. Spring break falls right after the conference, so we'll be off to LA to visit my sister, brother-in-law, and the newest Badger, Nephew Badger.
Bags: Well. Plans are in the works for this one.
3. South Dakota Badlands and Jackson, WY (May)
Kiddo and I managed not to kill each other on our recent Chicago trip, so we've decided to take a quick road trip west. We'll, um, see how that goes.
Bags: See above. Synapse most likely the DC.
4. Corvallis, Oregon (August)
It's been a while since we've been back to my home town, so we'll take a trip there this summer. Plans include trips to the coast, drinking as many coffees and microbrews as I can handle, long country walks with my parents' dog, and cleaning the last of the crap out of my childhood bedroom (wish me luck). Maybe, if I behave, we'll be able to squeeze in a visit to Seattle and the TB factory.
Bags: Western Flyer and Synapse.
5. Chicago (October)
This is for a conference that I'm not wild about attending, but at least a lot of friends will be there. At least I'll get to make an overdetermined packing list, per usual.
Bags: Maybe just the Smart Alec, since it's only for like two days.
6. Los Angeles (November)
This is tentative, but the addition of Nephew Badger to the family has made me think that it may possibly be worth braving the worst travel weekend of the year to see him gumming a turkey leg.
Bags: Whatever will let me one-bag it, since I have laundry access.
7. Chicago (December)
Annual Chicago trip with Kiddo. Ah, tradition.
Bags: I'm almost positive this trip will be short, so probably Smart Alec.
8. Honolulu, maybe?? (December)
It all depends on whether or not I can convince my parents that we should all be together, and that Mrs B. and I deserve a radical change in temperature at this time of the year.
Bags: Aeronaut and Synapse.
Man. I'm exhausted already.

49 U.S. Code § 30121 - Provisional notification and civil actions to enforce
prev | next
(a) Provisional Notification.—
(1) The Secretary of Transportation may order a manufacturer to issue a provisional notification if a civil action about an order issued under section 30118 (b) of this title has been brought under section 30163 of this title. The provisional notification shall contain—
(A) a statement that the Secretary has decided that a defect related to motor vehicle safety or noncompliance with a motor vehicle safety standard prescribed under this chapter exists and that the manufacturer is contesting the decision in a civil action in a United States district court;
(C) the Secretary's evaluation of the risk to motor vehicle safety reasonably related to the defect or noncompliance;
(D) measures the Secretary considers necessary to avoid an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the defect or noncompliance;
(E) a statement that the manufacturer will remedy the defect or noncompliance without charge under section 30120 of this title, but that the requirement to remedy without charge is conditioned on the outcome of the civil action; and
(b) Civil Actions for Not Notifying.—
(1) A manufacturer that does not notify owners and purchasers under section 30119 (c) and (d) of this title is liable to the United States Government for a civil penalty, unless the manufacturer prevails in a civil action referred to in subsection (a) of this section or the court in that action enjoins enforcement of the order. Enforcement may be enjoined only if the court decides that the failure to notify is reasonable and that the manufacturer has demonstrated the likelihood of prevailing on the merits. If enforcement is enjoined, the manufacturer is not liable during the time the order is stayed.
(c) Orders to Manufacturers.— If the Secretary prevails in a civil action referred to in subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall order the manufacturer—
(1) to notify each owner, purchaser, and dealer described in section 30119 (d) of this title of the outcome of the action and other information the Secretary requires, and notification under this clause may be combined with notification required under section 30118 (b) of this title;
(2) to specify the earliest date under section 30119 (b) of this title on which the defect or noncompliance will be remedied without charge under section 30120 of this title; and
(3) if notification was required under subsection (a) of this section, to reimburse an owner or purchaser for reasonable and necessary expenses (in an amount that is not more than the amount specified in the order of the Secretary under subsection (a)) incurred for repairing the defect or noncompliance during the period beginning on the date that notification was required to be issued and ending on the date the owner or purchaser receives the notification under this subsection.
(d) Venue.— Notwithstanding section 30163 (c) of this title, a civil action about an order issued under section 30118 (b) of this title must be brought in the United States district court for a judicial district in the State in which the manufacturer is incorporated or the District of Columbia. On motion of a party, the court may transfer the action to another district court if good cause is shown. All actions related to the same order under section 30118 (b) shall be consolidated in an action in one judicial district under an order of the court in which the first action was brought. If the first action is transferred to another court, that court shall issue the consolidation order.

- For the van in Grand Theft Auto IV, see Laundromat (van).
Laundromats are self-service laundry facilities. They are seen throughout the GTA III Era and accessible in Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA Vice City
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a laundromat in Little Havana has a Tracksuit clothing pickup. The store clerk can be robbed and this is a requirement for 100% completion.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, a laundromat (located in Hove Beach) features in the mission Hung Out to Dry. Several other laundromats around Liberty City are also accessible to the player, but are of little practical use. Stealing from a laundromat's cash register will net around a small amount of cash and earn the player a one-star wanted level, even if the laundromat is empty. There are also other shops which have laundromat signage but cannot be entered.
All accessible laundromats have the same layout, with a glass storefront and back door, providing the opportunity for a quick getaway.
In Algonquin and Bohan there are no Laundromats.
- Alderney City: North side of Hubbard Ave, just west of the intersection with Mahesh Ave.
- East Island City: Two Laundromats on the north side of Harrison St, on the last block before the East Borough Bridge; there is also a larger 'fake' laundromat a block to the west.
