Asia's financial crisis has a silver lining for Latin America, Florida's top trade partner.
The threat of an Asia-style meltdown is prompting governments and companies to take some tough medicine they might otherwise have delayed.
Brazil, for example, swallowed austerity measures to keep its currency stable and inflation low. It also is working to pass laws _ opposed by some voters _ that would slash government payrolls and trim its deficit.
``Congress seems to have woken up to the fact that God is not Brazilian and that time is not always on our side,'' said Francisco Gros, a Brazilian who is managing director of investment banking giant Morgan Stanley Latin America.
Companies in Latin America also are being forced to boost efficiency _ with new computer systems and other measures _ to better compete against Asian goods that now sell for less, after Asia devalued its currencies.
``The long-term benefit is that it fundamentally makes you a better competitor,'' said John T. McCarter, president and chief executive officer of General Electric Latin America.
Discussion of Asia's fallout dominated talks Thursday at Business Week magazine's Latin American Summit, a meeting in Coral Gables featuring Argentina's President Carlos Menem and Costa Rica's President Jose Figueres. More than 150 people are attending the two-day event that winds up today.
Latin American experts generally agreed that Asia's turmoil will hurt _ but not cripple _ the region that accounts for more than half of Florida's trade.

The Relationship between Chiropractic Care and Acupuncture from a Chiropractor in Thornton CO
There is a direct relationship between chiropractic care and acupuncture. In fact, chiropractors specializes in acupuncture services for all patients. As a form of ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture utilizes needles which are strategically placed at certain points across the body. Like chiropractic adjustments, this form of alternative therapy helps alleviate back pain and tension.
Chiropractic care is designed to combat pain and restore proper mobility and balance. It is also pivotal in realigning the back and spine, while restoring proper posture and flexibility as well. Acupuncture is directly linked to this since it too is designed to curtail pain and secure proper movement again. Similarly, acupuncture helps patients feel completely revitalized and rejuvenated again.
While chiropractic care also covers obesity and bone density issues, acupuncture helps stimulate blood flow in even dormant veins. It also helps decrease swelling from injuries and increases joint and muscle flexibility. Chiropractic and acupuncture is simply intertwined across several techniques and services. The same also goes for acupressure, which utilizes manual and machine-base massaging skills to ensure property back and spinal adjustments.
Acupuncture has been proven to help patients tackle pain of all types. This includes whiplash, along with back and spinal compression. Similarly, these ancient techniques also improve blood flow, as well as respiratory performance and functionality. This is due to medicinal needles improving overall wellness and health. Remember, acupuncture is just not for tackling pain but also increasing response and healing time to injuries.
If you feel acupuncture may work for you, simply discuss you options with a local chiropractor. He or she can determine if these techniques may be good for you in reducing or managing pain. They can also formulate therapeutic massage sessions where acupuncture may be used to enhance existing care services or protocols.

People Moves: Jimenez Departs Whole Foods; Martines Joins Concentric
Many industry leaders are adding new titles and companies to their resumes after a stint of hiring sprees the past few months. Here's the lowdown on these execs' new gigs and what they are doing there.
Matt Jimenez Departs Whole Foods Market
Today in a letter to suppliers, Matt Jimenez, global senior category manager for grocery at Whole Foods Market, announced his departure. Jimenez's last day will be tomorrow, and he said he will take a few weeks off before "launching his next venture."
Previously Jimenez was the National Sales Manager at Hain Celestial and National Sales Manager at PROBAR. In total, Jimenez spent over eight years at the natural retailer.
In his email, Jimenez wrote "I truly believe that the advancement of organic food, as well as outstanding innovations in food & wellness, will come from the efforts of all of you. During my time here, I have seen fantastic ideas brought to market which have gone on to change the landscape of our entire industry. Thank you for all that you do and your influence in evolving our collective food culture."
Mathis Martines Joins Branding Firm Concentric
Mathis Martines, who helped Kroger expand its grocery set with innovative and healthy products, has joined brand development firm Concentric as VP of Brand and Strategy, the company announced last week.
"Mathis's experience and retail perspective align perfectly with our core services," Concentric president Bob Shaw said. "His work in brand innovation, especially in the area of [better-for-you] and natural products, will continue to build Concentric's strength and will have immediate value to our clients."
Martines joined Concentric in June after leaving Kroger, where he had worked since March 2013. Prior to Kroger, he served as the Grocery Marketing Coordinator for The Fresh Market.
Chris Running Leaves Caveman Foods
CEO and founder Chris Running is leaving Caveman Foods six years after starting his paleocentric company.Running announced his departure in an email to staff and others last week. Caveman board member Pat O'Dea, the former CEO of Peet's Coffee, will step into the role.
"After many months of rumination and soul searching, I've decided to step down as CEO of Caveman Foods. Not an easy decision by any means, but after six years of 24/7 intense focus on top of six previous start-ups, multiple acquisitions and turnarounds, it's time for a break," Running wrote. "I'm very proud of many of the things we've been able to accomplish, but it's time for a change."
Running added that he will remain on the board and stay as active in the company as necessary "until [the team gets] Caveman Foods to the finish line."
Coyo Expands Team With Director of Sales & Chief Growth Officer
The dairy-alternative yogurt brand Coyo is adding two more members to its team as part of its plans to scale distribution. Aaron Wallace was named National Sales Jedi and Jerry Schwartz was named Chief Growth Officer, the company announced in a statement last week.
"We are all thrilled to bring Aaron and Jerry on board to leverage their vast experience in the natural foods world and continue growing the Coyo brand with their help," Chuck Waghorne, managing director, said in a statement. "Our expanding team will allow us to best serve our customers and get Coyo into the hands of existing fans and new converts all over the country."
Wallace formerly worked at Trader's Point Creamery as National Director of Sales and Logistics. While there, he helped lead development and implementation of national sales initiatives. His resume also includes past roles at Topline Distributing, Whole Foods Market and Costco. Schwartz managed his own brand management and consulting business for more than 30 years prior to joining the Coyo team.
ASI Tea-Maker Names Scott Silverman President and COO
Yaupon Wellness Company Inc. (YWCI), the maker of Asi Tea, named Scott Silverman as its President and COO, according to an announcement made last week. Silverman has more than 25 years of experience in the industry. Prior to this new role, he worked for KeHE, most recently serving as VP of Retail Growth Solutions and Proprietary Brands for the distributor.
"Scott has passion and vision for taking us to the next level," Mike Ventling, investor and CFO, said in a statement. "I look forward to working with him as well as Lou and the YWCI team to make it happen."
The company said it hopes to use Silverman's insight and strategic natural products industry experience to develop new yaupon-based wellness products. YWCI produces and sells bottled tea, tea bags and loose tea from the Yaupon plant.
"As we transition from our development phase to the commercialization and growth phase of Yaupon Wellness Company, we are thrilled and privileged to have someone with the kind of diverse experiences in the natural products sector that Scott brings," YWCI Founder Lou Thomann said in a statement.
Hail Merry Hires Its First Financial Executive
Plant-based dessert company Hail Merry has hired the company's first executive finance position in its nine-year history.
Eric Brown will be joining the team as CFO, the company announced late last month. His hiring is not the only change the company has seen in recent months. Hail Merry also underwent a complete rebrand and recently hired a new CEO, Andy Malloy after its previous CEO, Sarah Chapin, departed the company.
"We finally have the perfect entry-level product, killer branding, and a fine-tuned distribution plan in place. Eric's expertise in finance is the final piece to the puzzle. We can literally feel the momentum towards widespread consumer adoption and household penetration," Malloy said in a statement.
Brown has more than 25 years in food and hospitality, most recently acting as Vice President of Finance for Aramark Healthcare Technologies. Previous employers also include Frito Lay, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and the Campbell Soup Company.
Susan O'Brien, founder and VP of marketing, added that she hopes Brown's financial leadership will help to expand the company's distribution efforts and "bring Hail Merry to the masses."
Other notable moves:
- Peeled Snacks welcomed Jon Kalina as its new CEO on June 25. Kalina previously served as vice president of sales for Blue Marble Brands, and before that, with companies including Seasons' Enterprises, Kettle Foods and BIN Sales & Marketing.
- Jill Costelow joined Osso Good's board of directors last month. The industry veteran was most recently the VP of Operations at Pressed Juicery, and, prior to that, she served as the Director of Beverage Operations at POM Wonderful.
- After leadership changes at Purity Organic, the company's former VP of Operations, Andrew Guard, was appointed VP of Operations at chickpea-based snack company Biena Foods. Guard was named VP of Operations at of the chickpea-based snack company last month.
- Following the close of a round of investment, Wild Friends added to its executive team last month with James Moss as VP of sales. Prior, Moss worked at Hail Merry and NextFoods.
- Impossible Foods hired genomics pioneer and informatics expert David Lipman as its Chief Science Officer last month. The former National Center for Biotechnology Information Director is best known for his work in creating maintaining comprehensive suites of publicly accessible databases, like GenBank and PubMed, for doctors, patients and the medical industry.
- Mochi Ice Cream maker My/Mo added Michele Kessler to its board of directors last month. Kessler is the current president and CEO of thinkThin and previously served as VP of Global Chocolate Strategy and VP of Chocolate U.S. at Mars.

It may just look like playtime, but experts agree that what happens in preschool classrooms can influence the next years of a child's education. "Preschool is the foundation of education," said Lisa Chu-Greenough, the lead teacher at the Y @ Central in Sedro Woolley. "This is where we get children excited about learning!"
Despite how this program looks, this isn't just an everyday preschool classroom. The program in Sedro Woolley at Central is a one of a kind in Skagit County. The Y and SWSD Good Beginnings Developmental Preschool have created a uniquely blended program. We blend typically developing preschool children with children from the school district on IEP's. By integrating children the goal is that all children are ready for kindergarten. This type of inclusion is a win win for all children. It builds empathy and understanding in typically developing preschoolers for children with special needs. At the same time special needs children benefit because they pick up cues that they might miss being in an IEP classroom. There are things that adults can't teach, but children can learn from their peers.
Lisa Chu-Greenough and Becky George of the SWSD have worked together blending this program for the past five years. They complement each other in their teaching styles and are a great example of how district and private programs can provide a unique and high quality learning environment for all children. This program has become such a popular alternative for all families that it has expanded to morning and afternoon classes.

Finnish startup Unmonday, developer of a wireless speaker system, has announced that they have picked up 1.5 million euros in new funding from an undisclosed foreign investor. Details regarding this latest funding haul are scarce, but the company would say that they intend to use the money to continue to develop their international presence.
The startup also says that the new funding will support a new product-development cycle, but that news regarding new products will have to wait until spring 2015.
Unmonday's latest device, the model 4.3 wireless airplay speaker, retails for a hefty 594 Euro, but the company believes that this is a premium product worthy of a premium price. It is interesting to note that, back in 2012, the company ran a Kickstarter campaign, aiming to pull in $200K for this particular speaker. That campaign was unsuccessful, reaching only $68K (not received, as the campaign failed), but they have clearly moved on and managed to find willing investors elsewhere.
In addition to the wireless speaker (available in an EU or UK version, depending on the user's power requirements), the company sells accessories like speaker pads, cases, and grills in various colors.


text: Hi All, New to site. Definitely not new to Anx. & Dep. The depression surfaced after being on a high dosage of prednisone for a year. It altered my brain chemistry to the point where I'll always need antidepressants and Anxiety meds. My anxiety has since gotten worse. I don't like large crowds. I feel as if everyone is looking at me and judging me. I have a service dog to help with anxiety/panic attacks but; even that causes more bouts of anxiety. I constantly worry about people saying I'm lying about needing my support dog. It's extremely difficult to go to the grocery store, etc. All the reports on TV about "fake" support animals only make my situation worse. I wish the ADA (americans with disabilities act) would come up with a way to verify the true need for a support animal so that people like me would be left alone.

If you have any question or concerns, please do not hesitate to CONTACT US, we will glad to answers any concerns you may have.
Rub eye with lid closed towards nose
- If the eye bothers you so that it must be wiped or rubbed, always close the eyelids and wipe toward the nose. Wiping away from the nose can often cause the eye to fall out.
- Rub eye with lid closed towards nose
- If the eye bothers you so that it must be wiped or rubbed, always close the eyelids and wipe toward the nose. Wiping away from the nose can often cause the eye to fall out.
Prevent accidental disposal
Never leave your prosthesis in a piece of facial tissue. Several left in this way for just a minutes have been picked up and thrown away. Some have been burned with the waste papers.
Water Sport Safety
- If you swim, dive or water ski, either wear a protective patch or swimming goggles-or remove the eye and store it safely. More eyes have been lost during these sports than in any other way. Cold weather, dry weather and wind tend to make prosthetic eye uncomfortable. Some lubrication eye drops may reduce or relieve the discomfort.
- Keep away from solvents
- Never expose the prosthetic eye in any way to alcohol, ether chloroform, hair sprays or any other solvents. These can damage the plastic beyond repair.
Remove prosthesis for surgery
- Be sure to remove the prosthesis before having any surgery, anesthetics can damage the surface of the plastic, requiring expensive reprocessing or even replacement with a new eye.
- Practice extreme cleanliness
- Always practice extreme cleanliness when handling your prosthetic eye. If your eye should happen to fall out, be sure to rinse it thoroughly and then wash it with mild soap and water before reinserting it to your eye socket.
When to polish the prosthesis
Have your eye checked and polished once a year or twice for some patient to ensure best condition. Do not let anyone other than us or someone we recommend, polish your artificial eye. Polishing compounds used by many eye fitters, dentists, opticians and others will not polish as highly as necessary for the greatest comfort. Also, the technician must take care not to change the contours of the eye, which might result in a poor fit. Few understand the importance of the shapes which are achieved in the modified impression method we use.
Wear protective glasses
Wear your protective glasses from the minutes you have finished washing our face in the morning until you go to bed each night. Even when you are alone and least expecting it, an object could fly at your remaining eye. You no longer have a spare eye. Protect the one you have.
Eye Check-Up
Have your ophthalmologist check your good eye at least once a year. As long as you are perfectly comfortable and the eye still looks fine, do not do anything between yearly check-ups and polishing. Except for slowly changing appearance, which you might not be aware of, if your eye needs care, it will let you know.
Never put the prosthetic eye in your mouth because it can cause choking and may lead to death.

Very very cool. Sounds like a sweet setup too.
Thanks for the nice announcement, Peter.
I\'d first off like to tell everyone how fantastic Peter and Truespec are to work with. I am loving my new system. Peter and his team made it really easy for me to learn and they really attended to my creative goals.
Btw, the URL on Peter\'s designing and building the system for me seems to be:
I really like how composers here will sometimes share a piece they\'ve done. In that spirit, here\'s my first piece using my brand new system. It\'s all EWQLSO Platinum. http://www.basound.com/ns/Heroic_Theme_ClintB.mp3
I\'m relatively new to NS and am glad to have joined up. Really great posts!
Welcome to NS!
Great theme [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Very sweet setup too...
Yea, welcome here.... Theme is neat as well but somehow I\'m missing something. Don\'t know what, though. Hmm...
Clint! Welcome to NS! I loved your piece and enjoyed your Indiana Jones work as well.
All My Best,

I\'m not saying Truespec systems aren\'t bad, cause I\'m sure they good, stable, reliable, etc....but....
JESUS CHRIST THEY\'RE OVERPRICED! (Giga2U Rack System for example)
The system is $3800?! I could price every component exactly on that system WITH Gigastudio 160, Windows XP Pro, and 2U rack for near half the price. May I say all the components would be top notch too, and some (like the processor) would be even better. For example, the ram would be XMS Extreme Corsair PC3700, rather than Value RAM, and the processor would be an Athlon 64 3000+ 64-bit (faster testing than G5). I know you have a service charge for building the systems also, and that\'s understandable for you to make profit, but if the system I priced is around $2000 with top notch configuration and components, then a $1800 service charge is a little steep, per system. Anyways, I know you\'re a company, and making business, but I still had to voice my opinion, cause damn man.....that is friggin ridiculous. *walks away*
Ok, before I become completely ignorant in your view (Peter), enlighten me on exactly what makes your PC that expensive.
Jared [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
yo- whatup Clint?
good to see you here. got Shady Grove in your CD player, eh?
I\'m afraid I have to agree with Jared. That does seem awfully steep. But then I\'ve always been an advocate of building your own -- because it REALLY isn\'t hard to do.
Still, if people are willing to pay that kind of money, why not? The get customer service and, hopefully, peace of mind, knowing they don\'t ever have to open the box.
But think of the sample libraries you could buy if you built your own and saved all that money.
Hi Clint
Welcome onboard [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Glad to see you are enjoying your new systems and EWQLSO.
(Great tune BTW).

For Tim Mann the human hand defines us as human. The hand is the most frequently symbolized part of the human body. It gives blessing and it is expressive. In general it is strength, power and protection. However, it can just as easily mean generosity, hospitality and stability. It is used in gestures of greeting and friendship.
The right and left have different symbols related to each: right – the rational, conscious and logical, as well as aggressive and axious, left – opposite of the right, weakness, decay, death. However, the two can be juxtaposed to symbolize balance and the middle.
Hand gestures vary in symbol: laying hands on something – blessing, consecration, transference of guilt, healing; raising one's hand – to swear, honesty; hand on heart – love, adoration, salutation; two hands clasped – peace, alliance, friendship; hands at side – negligence, arrogance (on hips); with water – purification, cleanliness, innocence.
The hand is used the hand to communicate. The hand is used to demand, promise, summon, dismiss, threaten, supplicate, express aversion or fear, question or deny. We use them to indicate joy, sorrow, hesitation, confession, penitence, measure, quantity, number, and time. Hands have the power to excite and prohibit, to express approval, wonder, shame.
For Tim Mann the use of the hand in his work is another visual celebration of the human presence.
One Year Later
A series of photographs that follow the sense of human presence left behind.
Light Drawing
Tim Mann set up a camera to produce a series of photographs representing a ephemeral human presence. He opened the shutter of his camera and used a small penlight to create a series of swirls and lines in the air.

As part of the A.V. Club's Undercover video series, in which bands cover songs that we might not expect them to cover, Toronto post-hardcore bashers METZ recently stood outside a Chicago chicken spot in what looks like blistering heat to cover a not-all-that-surprising song. For their entry, METZ took on the Damned's first-wave punk rager "Neat Neat Neat," and it's a bit refreshing to hear them playing something so simple after witnessing the stomach-punch tempo-shifts of their live show. Check out the video below.
The self-titled METZ debut album is out now on Sub Pop.

Stop Appropriating Intersectionality
A Response to Kate Shellnut at Christianity Today
Last week, Christianity Today put out an article in response to the pro-choice stance of the #WomensMarch on Washington, which took place the day after the inauguration. Now, unless you have managed to be hibernating, you've probably heard that the #WomensMarch had record breaking participant turnouts, with satellite locations around the country and globe.
The Argument for "Making Room"
In her article, Kate Shellnut critiques the Women's March for its unabashed pro-choice stance. Her request is that intersectionality gives room for faith, specifically in respect to women who are pro-life, being welcome at the march.
First, I want to address the misuse of the application of intersectionality within the CT article. Secondly, I want to offer a further conversation of how we may rightfully use intersectionality to form spaces of Jesus-based-justice in our communities and places of worship.
In her article, Women's March Sets Out to Exclude 40 Percent of American Women, Kate Shellnut states:
"Intersectional feminism originally and most commonly refers to the overlapping factors of race and gender, and how women of color experience challenge beyond the agenda set by white feminists. But intersectionality applies to factors like religion too."
It is imperative to remember African-American Scholar, Kimberlé Crenshaw, who termed intersectionality, did so to address how the overlapping factors of race and gender contribute to oppression. Intersectionality was coined to specifically identify the power dynamics of dominance and marginalization. The crux of these 'overlapping factors' pertains to the way they increase the experience of marginalized by power. Shellnuts' use of intersectionality appropriates the term by asking for recognition, without acknowledging power.
If we are to truly discuss intersectionality, we must acknowledge the tensions faith brings to the conversation — especially in relationship to this election.
Women, Whiteness and Faith
Two demographics that voted largely in favor of Trump were Evangelicals and White Women. These are not marginal groups. It is a misuse to apply intersectionality in the name of religion when White Evangelicalism has contributed significantly to this election and been given voice, power, and prominence.
One cannot ask for someone to divorce their faith from their whiteness or femininity, but intersectionality must be reflexive. Intersectionality does give the ability to address overlapping identities, but it must not be divorced from its context. We need to acknowledge the power dynamics intrinsic to our faith and gender. Asking for intersectionality to only address faith, without including gender and ethnicity does not stay true to its intent. Most importantly, it removes the conversation from its larger context of power.
I can't ignore that these same white women who are now marching against Trump are also the demographic who are cited to have voted for him — religious or not. I have spent a lot of time wondering what the new administration means as a millennial, female, Christian of color. I struggle to fit into a definition of "Evangelicalism" — a label of faith that connotes a historical system of patriarchy and whiteness.
Challenges of faith, power, and gender are deeply historical in this country and must be taken into account before we cry "intersectionality" in the name of religion. Christianity has found itself over and over more on the side of the oppressor than the oppressed.
Reimagining Power and Intersectionality
To use intersectionality as it was in the CT article is to only utilize it for Christianity's own gain. It takes a term that is meant to help us see the marginalized and asks to give Christians, who are a dominant group, more power. This was not the intent of the term and is just washing a method of social progressivism with a Christian veneer.
But scripture points to a Kingdom that upends the power systems of this world and uproots our models of dominance and marginalization. Jesus points us to a Kingdom where intersectional identities are the foundation. Those who feel they have the least power are dignified and given voice, the weakest are the strongest, the last are first. Rather than a cause for oppression and marginalization, intersectional identities are an invitation to understand and identify more with Christ. This is the model we are given for building the church.
When it comes to women, Jesus was a master at addressing intersectionality. Over and over we see him affirm women across gender, ethnic and socioeconomic lines. The Samaritan woman at the well was the first missionary. Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba are woven into and affirmed in his lineage. He praises the woman who anoints his feet with oil.
It doesn't end there. One of my favorite images of God's intersectional Kingdom the outpouring of the Spirit described in Joel 2. He names the young, old, rich, poor, ruler, servants, sons and daughters — God's kingdom has room for the complexity of our identities!
The church has the capacity to change the way we interact with the power systems of our society. We have the opportunity to redistribute power in the way we run our churches, communities, and organizations. We are given a model of what it means to embrace the poor and powerless. We can form spaces where women (and others) are fully seen and acknowledged.
Creating a space where we embrace a Kingdom model of intersectionality takes time, intention and a lot of un-learning. There is no 'quick fix' or easy solutions to rebuilding power systems. Instead, it takes a willingness to enter a life-long journey and examine our own use of power. Here are a few ideas to start that journey:
- Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your own perceptions of power. Repent of the ways you have misused power, ask for healing for the way it has hurt you.
- Ask yourself what voices aren't present in your leaders, staff, board or conferences. What steps do you need to take to include these voices and make a place for their leadership?
- Read from leaders with different experiences and perspectives on power (I'd suggest: Jayachitra Lalitha, Nikki Toyama-Szeto, Lisa Sharon Harper, Mark Charles, or Paul Farmer, Howard Thurman)
For People of Color
- Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal and heal areas of oppression and racism. Trust God to meet you where you are.
- Ask yourself where are there safe and welcomed spaces to learn your identity in God

Diagnosed with 3c Ovarian Cancer in April 16, had 4 cycles of carbo/taxol, then radical hysterectomy 13th September 16, had very few symptoms from chemo and continued to work doing reduced hours until my operation. 5 th cycle of chemo on 24/10/16 been a lot more tired, mouth ulcers and the horrid taste in my mouth, but can't complain, last chemo due today was so excited to get it over and done with, but after having canula put in after 3rd attempt,steroids, antihistamine and anti sickness followed by flush, was advised that my notes had been just been read and my platelets were low following my blood test, so no chemo until I had another blood test, again 3 more pokes to get blood, to be told 45 minutes later will have to come back on Friday and have further blood tests due to platelets still being to low, so will hopefully have final chemo next Monday. I was quite concerned that my treatment had already started before it was identified that I needed another blood test.
I have been reading all you're amazing posts since April and you are all truly inspirational, especially when I am feeling confused about it all.
Thanks for taking the time to ready my post. Xx

Ducati 900 Monster Supreme Bikes and Motorbikes
Ducati 900 Monster
Posted on February 8, 2010 by Fahad Majidi
Ducati made their reputation by building uncompromising sports bikes for those with the discernment and money to appreciate them, but in recent years they have branched out in another direction. In late '92 Ducati unveiled the M900 Monster to a stunned public, proving that they could build exciting bikes for all tastes, not just for the race replica sports rider.
The M900 was the first Ducati for many years to appeal to a wide range of riders, from the traditional Ducati fan to the rider in search of something 'a little different'. And the Monster is certainly different. Although it uses the same engine as the Ducati 900SS, the Monster is designed to be a muscle-bike.
A bike that accelerates with startling rapidity, and which is more at home cruising the urban jungle looking for traffic-light Grands Prix to take part in than jockeying for position into turn one at Monza.
The Ducati 900SS has an engine blessed with masses of low-down power and usable torque, so to make it into a serious muscle-bike Ducati lowered the gearing and slotted the engine into the steel trellis frame that is their trade-mark. The engine puts out 84 bhp at 7000rpm, power enough to hustle the Monster to a top speed of almost 130 mph.
That's not all that fast for a 900cc machine, but this is a bike built for cursing and back-road riding, so there is no fairing and the riding position is very upright. That makes is great in town or on country lanes, but painful at speed on motorways.
Where the Monster is really at home is cruising the Promenade des Anglais in Nice or parked outside Tre Scalini in the Piazza Navonna in Rome. This is a bike for being seen on, for posing on, for getting you around town in style and comfort, and with a large grin on your face. And that grin is there not only because the Monster is very fast from a standing-start, not only because it is equipped with the best suspension and brakes around, but because it is stupendous – looking machine.
The feel-factor gained from riding II Mostro is enormous.
Of course it does help that the Monster will out drag all but the most powerful sports bike or supercar, that it comes with state of the art 41mm upside-down forks and a multi-adjustable rear monoshock, and that it wears a massive pair of Brembo disc equipped with four position calipers. All the elements come together to make a bike that it is real pleasure to ride, and even more of a pleasure to look at.
For the head core Ducati fan (a devotee of rock solid suspension, agonizing riding position, and 'idiosyncratic' electric) the Monster will be a disappointment. But to everyone else the combination of good looks, lightning quick steering, excellent suspension, eyeball popping brakes and a lusty motor will ensure a huge grin and a much-depleted bank balance.

Discussion in 'Captain America: The First Avenger' started by gridlockd, Jul 26, 2011.
Thought of another thing.
They needed more Natalie Dormer.
She's Natalie Dormer.
You know, I was just thinking the same thing a while ago. I would've loved to see another Cap film before the Avengers, especially if its main focus is showing him trying to adjust to today's world, while struggling to hold on to his past. I don't know if they will show signs of that in the Avengers, but I would love to see them move forward with the character afterwards.
One of the SHIELD agents specifically asks "How come nobody spotted this thing before?" ....to which the local replies, "It's really not that surprising .... because this landscape is always changing."
again, that does nothing to explain the immediate problem. It does wonders however for the non issue of why they hadn't spotted a giant ship floating around 70years later...kudos.
I just think they created a plot hole and they gave a half ass explanation to cover it.
The only thing I thought needed improvement was the montage of scenes of Cap and the Howling Commandos taking out the Hydra bases...I think each scene should have been a little longer.
I was really hoping that one of the Hydra agents would get his head blown off and the sprout two more in its place.
I felt like they kind of wasted the Howling Commandos and Bucky, whose potential was never really capitalized on. Did we ever even learn their names? Here's hoping sequels would delve into the montage days with a bit more depth.
It's funny how the people who complained about how there weren't enough Nazis in the advertising were ridiculed on this board, seeing as how there were barely any Nazis in the movie. Hydra even breaks with them fairly early on. I would've liked to have seen Cap fighting some SS men and the like.
That's one reason why I'm hoping that the Cap sequels take place in WWII. I can forgive the glossing over of the commandos and Bucky if we get more of them in sequels.
I thought there were more than enough Nazis. They were in the beginning of the film in Norway and when they visited Red Skull.
I pretty much agree. Obviously the filmmakers saw it as a possible plothole too. If it made logic sense to everyone, there would have been no need for the up-front explanation.
Maybe if it were falsely concluded by Stark and the government, that the ship exploded on impact and Cap was dead, I would have bought it better. As it stands, Howard Stark doesn't strike me as the type to give up. If he can make a car fly (kinda) he could have probably tracked down that giant ship in the ice.
I found it perfectly plausible. He crash landed in an area that was probably hundreds of miles of pure ice. His ship was covered inside the ice for most of the time until a freak coincidence lead to him getting uncovered. Trying to find it would literally be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The plane was emitting no energy signature (like the cube was) so you literally had to just blindly search.
The only problems I had was Bucky's death. It just didn't have much of an emotional impact. I think Bucky and Steve's relationship should have been built on more, so when he finally did die, it was a huge shock to the audience. I expected Bucky to get saved by Steve a few times, just to get the audience in that comfortable mindset of "oh, he's the hero's friend that always gets saved but never dies." Only to hit you with a whammy closer to the end of the film.
I also thought Steve and Peggy's relationship could have been explored more as well.
Eh, you know what I mean. The kindly old sage who guides the hero in the beginning then dies. Basically the same guy in Cap and Iron Man. And basically Uncle Ben in Spider Man.
Iron Man still avenged his friend in the cave. As did Cap, as did Spider-Man.
-Cap used his powers to lift girls on a motorcycle in a USO show. We all know that's not what he was meant to do with his life. Just like we know Spider-Man isn't meant to become a pro-wrestler in the first movie.
He made the car fly for mere seconds.
So it was emitting an energy up until it hit the ground? So if they know where it went down, just concentrate your search in that area. Would it take even 5 years if you know where to look? Just seems like they want it both ways, Stark has all this crazy cutting-edge technology but oh, we don't have the technology to find this giant ship in the snow. I'm not saying it ruins the movie but again, the filmmakers themselves obviously saw that this way an issue or they wouldn't have added that pre-emptive expository dialouge.
There are some things already posted I agree with:
1 - The missions montage rushed over the action too much when I was hoping for a big action set-piece (the mountain base was a perfect opportunity but even that one was rushed too).
2 - Red Skull & Hydra vs the Nazis - just not enough explanation there to show how or why they were or weren't working together. And I agree there should've been more Nazis in the movie.
3 - Didn't see enough of Cap's full range of abilities. We mostly just saw him taking out bad guys swiftly (mostly by punching them and using the shield) but not really much else. The jump across the fallen walkway (right after the first meeting with Red Skull) for example - the editing by not showing his full jump across was instantly annoying. I was expecting to see Cap have at least some Spider-Man style moves (in terms of agility and movement style) but nada.
4 - One thing I haven't seen mentioned in any threads so far: the Asian and black characters totally took me out of the WW2 timeline. What was the point of adding them when Asians and blacks were both highly segregated during WW2? There was just no believability there at all for me. I can't believe that someone working on the movie, let alone the director, intentionally put those characters in there, it was just completely jarring. For a modern-era timeline, sure, why not. But for a WW2-era movie, it just stuck out like a sore thumb and ruined the believability and verisimilitude. I'd seriously like to know what the filmmakers were thinking.
5 - Oh yeah and the ending was way too abrupt too. Cap's line and then bam, black screen, cue victorious music. There needed to be something more to add either impact or emotion.
I agree with this, that would've been funny & awesome as hell.
Definitely agree with the Bucky and Peggy relationships too. They were good as-is but could've been fleshed out more.
Not just any energy though .... the cube's energy. Without it being aboard the plane, they can't trace it back to there ....... and they WERE in the vicinity that's why you saw Stark insist to keep looking.
I didn't like that the movie ended. I could have sat there watching for hours more.
You misunderstood the movie. The plane never emitted an energy signature. It was the cube. "But the energy signature stop's here." The cube was emitting an energy signature, the plane never did. They didn't actually know where the plane hit the ground. Hence why it was basically impossible to locate.
Also, I don't like that I have a 900 day wait before I will get to see a Captain America 2.
At least we get Avengers to hold us over on our Cap sequel wait, LOL!
You could always watch this to pass the time:
Captain America II
cap and the dogs is too epic
I thought Hugo Weaving's accent sounded more Austrian than German, but that's just a nitpick.
The character of Peggy Carter was also very out of place in the 1940's. I'm surprised no one in the movie pointed that out. But then they were dealing with super soldiers and crazy futuristic technology.
I noticed the same thing. I thought it was weird because women were just starting to take their first steps towards equality after the war, and any woman that was overseas was usually just a nurse or secretary and not some high ranking officer. My guess is she was just really good at the job and was easy on the eyes.

Marvel's latest television offering, Iron Fist, was the binge-watching choice for the weekend following its release. Although the show was not generally well received, fans were impressed by many of the secondary characters introduced. Iron Fist's Danny Rand teams up primarily with Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), but it also introduced Davos (Sacha Dhawan), whose (future) alter ego as the Steel Serpent has been hinted at for some time.
Now, Dhawan has revealed that another actor in the Marvel family may have helped him get the part of Davos -- Benedict Cumberbatch. In a recent interview, the actor tells the story of how Cumberbatch e-mailed Marvel to put in a good word for him, while the two were working together on Sherlock. While working on a multi-day fight scene, they spent a lot of time chatting in between takes, which is when Dhawan mentioned that he was auditioning for a part in Iron Fist.
Speaking with Radio Times, Dhawan said:
"...[Cumberbatch] pulled out his phone and started typing away on his phone. And I thought 'that's a bit rude!' And he went, 'By the way, I'm just emailing a contact at Marvel.'
"I could obviously say hey, maybe Benedict got me the part," said Dhawan. "But [either way] he really helped get the word through that I'm coming to test, and that he enjoyed working with me. And I know he has a bit of clout as Sherlock, you know. Maybe that tipped the balance…"
Obviously, no-one is suggesting that Dhawan only got the role because of his work with Cumberbatch, as he is a fantastic actor in his own right. However, with the MCU's interconnected nature, it makes sense that actors who are already part of the Marvel family would have some small weight when it comes to casting new actors as well. It's also lovely to hear an actor as well-known as Cumberbatch happy to make contacts to help out a lesser-known actor.
Of course, this doesn't reveal anything else about Davos's future in the MCU, such as whether he will truly become the Steel Serpent or how he could appear in The Defenders. However, there have been hints that he will return for the next season of Iron Fist, so perhaps he and Cumberbatch will appear on screen together at some point in the future.
Iron Fist season 1 is now available on Netflix. The Defenders will arrive sometime in the summer, with The Punisher coming later this year. Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, Jessica Jones season 1, and Luke Cage season 1 are now available on Netflix. Premiere dates for the newest seasons of Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Luke Cage have not yet been revealed.

Douglas, Wyoming
Due to Gary Grubb, Horse Committee President, serving as one of the superintendents of the Wyoming State Fair Youth Horse Show…the meeting was called to order at 7:02pm by Steve Schafer, 4-H/Youth Livestock & Equine Specialist.
Counties attending this meeting were: Albany, Campbell, Carbon, Converse, Crook, Johnson, Laramie, Lincoln, Natrona, Sheridan, and Sweetwater. Glen Whipple (UWCES Director) and Steve Schafer (UWCES State 4-H Office) also attended the meeting. The attendance total was 23.
The minutes of the previous meeting (February 2, 2006---Casper, Wyoming) were passed out for everyone to read and review. (It was also noted that the minutes, as requested at the last Horse Committee Meeting, were posted on the Wyoming 4-H Website....Wyoming4h.org is the address of the website.) Lois Bass, Sheridan County, made the motion to approve the minutes and it was seconded by Troy Allee of Campbell County. The minutes were approved as presented.
An update on the request to use Senior (14 yrs old and up) 4-H Club Members as Horse Level Raters was presented by Steve Schafer. He explained that the request had been honored and would be implemented with the new 4-H Club Year, which starts on October 1, 2006. The guidelines will be similar to Horse Raters certifying new Horse Raters, meaning that the Senior 4-H Club Members can rate 4-H Club Members up to one Level below the Senior Club Members rating…..ie, if a Senior Member is a Level 2, they can rate Club Members only in Level 1; however, if a Senior Member is a Level 3, they can rate a Club Member in Level 1 and in Level 2. Other rater guidelines will also apply, such as not rating family members and so on.
A discussion concerning the addition of "action events" took place. Everyone at the meeting agreed that this was a much needed improvement to the Wyoming 4-H Horse Program. To date, two revisions of the Wyoming Horse Show Rulebook (with the inclusion of action events) have been sent to each County 4-H Office and to many Wyoming 4-H Horse Program Supporters. Steve indicated that he appreciated all of the time that everyone had devoted to this effort, but he also indicated that it was now a virtual impossibility of having it ready for the new Club Year (October 1, 2006)….and wondered if it would not be better to take the advice from this meeting and the input coming in from the second revision, and compile all of this into a third revision that could be sent out for review and then re-target our publication date to December 1, 2006 without very many problems for the county programs. The group agreed that it would be better to take the extra time to end up with a better product rather than hurry through and end up with something that was not productive or usable.
Based on this, Steve asked everyone to return from the fair and catch their breath…and then send in their suggestions and ideas to him by September 1, 2006. He would then compile everything into a third revision by September 15th…..and get it back to everyone with a request to have this input back to him by October 1. This will then give the Communications Department to edit and publish the book, which should be a realistic expectation.
A discussion was also undertaken concerning the requirements of fairs to use these classes. It was explained that the county fairs may or may not use whatever classes they desire to utilize….and that the Wyoming State Fair would not change until at least 2008. This was due to arena availability, scheduling conflicts with other shows, and the time availability. However, when events are added to the Wyoming State Fair….the qualifying process will be the same for those events as for any other event. The Campbell County Fair brought forth this discussion because they had concerns about the addition of classes for their fair, but their concerns were alleviated due to the parameters outlined in this discussion and they ended up thinking this was a very workable situation that would benefit the youth and their fair.
David Robinson, Campbell County, asked about allowing 2 entries from each county per event. After it was revealed that starting with the 2007 Wyoming State Fair, all of the Performance Events will have three age categories (Junior, 8-10 yrs old; Intermediate, 11-13 yrs old; and Senior 14 yrs and up)….that seemed to take care of the issue of allowing more youth to qualify for the Wyoming State Fair. However, Steve said that he would try to find out who made (makes) the decision about how many could participate. (Since the meeting, Steve did find out this information….due to the fact that the Wyoming State Fair Youth Horse Show is a Junior Show, not a 4-H Show, it is a Wyoming State Fair decision.)
Milt Green, Natrona County Extension Educator, indicated that he and Steve Schafer were seeking to conduct a research study concerning the economic benefits of the horses to Wyoming. As a result, he was seeking input concerning the re-establishment of the Wyoming Horse Council. The group agreed that this was probably a good idea.
Kris Mitchell, Converse County, asked about horse training opportunities for 4-H Youth to participate in. Many people at the meeting offered many suggestions.
Due to the Miniature Horses that were exhibited at the 2006 Wyoming State Fair Horse Show, Steve asked if this group would support the addition of a Miniature Horse Halter Class at the 2007 Show. Kathy Woods, Sheridan County, made the motion to add a Miniature Horse Halter Class at the 2007 Wyoming State Fair Junior Horse Show. The motion was second by Lois Bass, and the motion unanimously passed.
Gary Grubb, Committee President, stated that he thought it should be a requirement for Level Raters to pass the riding portion of the Levels Exams as well as the written part of the Levels Exams. Discussion was conducted, but no motion was made on this matter.
Just as an FYI, the status of George Howard, UW Rodeo Coach & 4-H Horse Levels Coordinator, was given to everyone. He smashed and broke his foot on a skid loader, and as of this date (which was about two weeks after the accident) his foot is still too swollen to be put in a cast. Much sympathy was expressed to/for George.
Gary Grubb asked if there was any other business, and hearing none he asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Lauire Kluz, Campbell County, made the motion to adjourn the meeting and it was seconded by Lorraine Howieson of Carbon County. The motion unanimously passed, and the meeting was adjourned at 8:16pm.
Respectfully submitted by Steve Schafer

News from the Planets – May June 2008 April 30, 2008Posted by Kerry in Astrology.
comments closed
There is a focus on information being hidden, then exposed later this season. It begins mildly enough with a New Moon 5th May in Taurus which is an ideal time to initiate greater control of your finances. Then a repeat of the Jupiter and Uranus aspect in mid May continues opening our minds to new ideas and we will all share a sense of alert attentiveness for information. The Full Moon is on the 20th May and is in Scorpio, so give yourself some space at this time.
Mercury goes retrograde on the 27th May in Gemini, so we can see the God of Information attempting to back-pedal out of the limelight. And shortly after on the 4th June the New Moon will be in curious and inquisitive Gemini. This is an interesting combination so be on the lookout for attempts to hide information and watch the media hunt for the reason why. It also creates an environment of whispered gossip that can become harmful.
An illuminating moment will occur just after Mercury goes direct when on the 19th June there is a powerful Full Moon in Sagittarius aligned with Pluto who is ever willing to exposure the hidden truths. We will have a momentary veil of illusion cast on the 22nd June when Mars lies opposite Neptune. Some may remain deluded, but everyone else will be aware of what has been hidden and the truth behind the gossip.
The Solstice is on 21st June and heralds the time that the Sun moves into Cancer and the moment that the night and the day are equal. It's a time of celebration for ancient civilisations as it is "the changing of the guard". The Moon God of the night has ruled supreme, but now the Sun God slowly begins to returns. The times of quiet introspection and reflection of the long nights are ending, and soon the ancient peoples would return to hunting and farming. Even today with our artificial light we still resonate to the changing energies of the season. So reflect and plan what you want to attain during the coming warm growing season; growth in all dimensions, emotionally and mentally for yourself and for your loved ones.
All the best for the season – yours in the Stars

Your Sun Signs
With Venus in your money zone in May there will be some lucky breaks with your finances. This season also begins with a rush of ideas but in the middle of June, under Neptune's influence, beware of ideas that are too good to be true. They may be connected to young people in your life. So double check everything.
The New Moon in Taurus on the 5th May is an ideal time to attend to possessions because Mercury is coming to retrograde through your zone of assets through most of June. Items will become lost and misplaced, especially in the home due to the influence of Mars. The 8th June is a significant date for not seeing what you should see.
Your own ruler, Mercury, retrograding through your own sign means you have a chance to reflect on events from the past. The enforced reassessment can help you clarify goals and make new intentions. The New Moon on the 4th June begins a year long cycle of wanting to know about yourself and the life you live. What do you want to change?
During this season you will be picking up important collective information and bringing it in to your own life. You could find yourself somewhere between becoming environmentally and politically aware, to being at the forefront of the latest fashion fad. The down side is that Mars in your money zone could result in you and your precious money being separated.
Over this season a memory you thought you had forgotten surfaces to disturb you, especially in mid June. Mars is involved and ensures you have the emotional energy, if not the physical energy, to embrace the opportunity to release the toxic burden you have carried. Stress can lead to health concerns. So remember that garbage becomes compost which becomes fertile soil.
An issue with your work, paid or unpaid, will be highlighted during the Mercury retrograde period, especially in the first week of June. At this time Mars will start to push you to take action while Saturn wants stability. But wait till later in June when you know all the details: and we know how important the details are to you!
Early in May you have the ability to taken seriously by people with influence. But later in the month and through June, retrograde Mercury causes you to doubt your beliefs. Stay focused, because by the end of June you will sort out the difficulties. Friends could be quarrelsome, so simply choose who you want to spend time with.
The Scorpio Full Moon on the 29th May will heighten your sense of vulnerability, and leave you craving some quiet time. Venus enters your relationship zone through June and brings a touch of good fortune from others. But take care as Neptune casts a cloud of confusion around your work or worldly role on the 15th June.
Later in May your creativity will be flowing with flashes of brilliance and forward thinking ideas. But your relationships are affected by Mercury retrograde, so your loved ones will be going in the opposite direction. Don't wait; they will catch up later in the season. The Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 19th June will inspire you to yet a new direction.
A period of relative quiet is over as your ruler, Saturn, goes direct on the 5th May, now it's back to knuckling down to business. A big focus on the relationship sector of the chart is building deeper connections to other people. Opportunities with Jupiter are still available, especially after mid June, but you need to dig for them.
Some new ideas and a brilliant solution will present itself but you may have to wait to activate it. Also perhaps you get a lucky break, but you deserve it, because everything else seems so incredibly fated this season, especially in early June. You could feel like a small piece in a gigantic jigsaw simply waiting to see what happens.
The Jupiter connection to Uranus, especially in late May, will help you in finding your current direction. This will mostly come by various group connections and friends with great ideas. But Mars placement suggests that there could be disruption with paid helpers, employees or work colleagues. Early June could find you with extra people at home, so have a few supplies on hand.
Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.

A wreath hanging on a front door.
Featured wreath: reindeer moss, montbretia pods, and bay leaf, $75 Inset: seeded and willow eucalyptus, rose hips, myrtle, and cedar, $95
As the holidays stretch from the day after Halloween straight through New Year's Eve, versatile, enduring décor has become popular. Nowhere is that more evident than on front doors—wreaths are going up earlier and they aren't all pine. What's new is unexpected materials, such as eucalyptus, myrtle, and montbretia pods. "The product we work with is inspiring, and people want to learn how to do it themselves," says Amy Backman, owner of Spruce Flowers & Home in Minneapolis and at 50th & France, which offers wreath-making workshops (as do some others, including Brown & Greene Floral). Spruce sells wreath-making kits in November and December. Or, leave it to the pros: Spruce's custom wreaths start at $75. sprucemn.com

Heico Sportiv has introduced their new tuning program for the Volvo V40 Cross Country.
Designed to fix the model's "lack of XC character," the hatchback can be equipped with a Cross Chassis sport suspension which increases the ride height by approximately 30mm. The company also offers an eight-piece fender extension kit that gives the model a more rugged appearance.
Under the hood, the 2.0-liter D3 four-cylinder engine can be tuned to produce 195 PS (143 kW) which is an increase of 45 PS (33 kW). Likewise, the 2.5-liter T5 five-cylinder engine can be massaged to develop 268 PS (197 kW) which is an increase of 14 PS (10 kW).
Customers can also order aluminum paddle shifters and a Speedpack that increases the model's top speed.
