I picked this bike up at a swap meet last fall. I stashed it away and forgot about it until a few days ago. I never really thought it was anything that special. I bought it because it looked old, was cheap (around $20) and I thought it'd be fun to rebuild.
I was getting ready to start on another bike project and was moving this one when I noticed the serial number under the crank was rubbed clean. I decided to look up the number. The number is, "F57267". I'd never considered it might be an old Schwinn but I found similar numbers in the 1949 Schwinn numbers listing. When I started to give it a little closer inspection I found an 'AS' bolt on the seat post clamp. One thing that puzzles me is the strange sprocket. I suppose it could have been changed at some point over the years.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

As Eco-Fibers Go Glam, Cotton Could Get a Run For Its Money
From last year's silky milk-protein fabric, QMilch, to breakthroughs in eco-friendly yet high-end denim, the green label, as applied to fashion, is finally losing some of its crunchy non-appeal. Now two more fabrics are hitting the market, each of which combines an effective blend of technology, sustainability, and style in such a way that the industry can embrace them without feeling any (unwanted) hippie roots.

text: This dissertation consists of three essays on economic theories of signaling and behavior. The first essay presents a model of indirect speech as a costly signal of quality. The model explains the tendency of people to use language that is more confusing that necessary by showing that indirect speech is rational when outside options are invisible and related to quality in a matching environment. The second essay explores the relationship between conspicuous consumption and population density. The returns to conspicuous consumption are higher in denser areas for several reasons, and the returns to high-quality agents of signaling visibly can support the existence of dense cities by themselves. The third essay develops a model of "semi-conspicuous" consumption. Wealthy agents who are also socially well-connected signal discreetly, credibly signaling both quality and connectedness. Wealthy agents who are not well-connected signal more conspicuously, and poor agents do not signal.

Par... Tay!
It's always a treat to be out in public, especially these days when I'm not often allowed to play outside on my own (I don't know what Nik thinks I'm going to do, vomit on someone, probably). In particular, it's a very special treat to be in a room with other writers. Accountants spend lots of time with other accountants, teachers have whole rooms given over to them, and doctors and lawyers have the Rotary Club (and very fine work they do, too). It isn't very often that a writer gets to spend time with others of his stripe. We tend to be solitary individuals, often rattling around in our houses or offices with barely another soul to talk to all day, apart from our various pets: cats in my case, and, of course, the hussar. It's an extra specially fabulous treat to be in a room with writers whose work and achievements I admire.
So, I just wanted to remind you all that I will be at at Waterstone's Piccadilly store in London on May 10th. The book signing in the early evening will be open to all, and will be followed by an exclusive, ticket-only function where the fortunate few can mingle with the likes of Adam Roberts, China Miéville, Michael Cobley, Stephen Hunt, the mighty Graham McNeill and SFX editor Dave Bradley, and, of course, me! There might even be what SFX describes as 'some surprise guests'. I'll also be on a panel with some of the distinguished gentlemen, where the topic for discussion will be: "Millions of people watch SF on TV and at the cinema – why don't more people read SF books too?" You can find all the glorious details, including how to get your mitts on one of the exclusive tickets, here.

The Catholic Church's surprising new leader from "the end of the earth" will hold his first Mass as pope on Thursday.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, a pioneer pope from Argentina who took the name Francis, is a pastor rather than a manager, tasked with resurrecting a church and a faith in crisis.
The archbishop of Buenos Aires is the first pontiff from the New World and the first non-European since the Middle Ages. He is the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit and the first named Francis, after St Francis of Assisi, the humble friar who dedicated his life to helping the poor. The last non-European pope was Syria's Gregory III from 731-41.
Francis will celebrate his first Mass as pope in the Sistine Chapel and will be installed officially on Tuesday.
One of his first foreign trips is expected to be World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro in July, an event that will energise the continent, given their native son will be presiding.
Vatican spokesman the Rev Federico Lombardi, also a Jesuit, said he was particularly stunned by the election given that Jesuits typically shun positions of authority in the church, instead offering their work in service to those in power.
But he said that in accepting, Francis must have felt it "a strong call to service", an antidote to all those who speculated that the papacy was about a search for power.
"You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome," the new pontiff said as he waved shyly to the tens of thousands who braved the cold rain in St Peter's Square. "It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth, but here we are. Thank you for the welcome."
Francis, said to have finished second when Pope Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, was chosen on just the fifth ballot to replace the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. In the past century, only Benedict, John Paul I in 1978 and Pius XII in 1939 were elected faster.
His election elated Latin Americans, who number 40% of the world's Catholics but have long been under-represented in the church leadership. Drivers honked their horns in the streets of Buenos Aires and television announcers screamed with elation at the news.

Lot's of velcro on the flaps
By Dan
from Catskills, NY
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Highland Millworks Highland by XS Scuba 2 mm Super Stretch Neoprene Pocket Shorts:
I have a 31" waist. I got the size large. It's barely big enough around the waist when wearing a drysuit!!! Maybe the medium would work for me in a wetsuit, but I'm very glad I went with the large size. Opening the pockets when they are fully closed against the velcro...really difficult! Wow...a lot of velcro in new condition...hard to open that flap. So...look at what another reviewer wrote below. Get some extra velcro tape and simply attach to the velcro on one side or both (flap or pocket of short) to cover some of the active velcro until opening the flap is reasonable (not too hard or easy). As the working velcro wears and the pocket opens too easily, simply remove some of the velcro tape and there you go...fresh velcro available and the flap holds your gear safely without being difficult to open.The other issue I have with the shorts results from attempting to wear them with a drysuit. The shorts need more space between the waist and the crotch. Might not be necessary for a wetsuit, but in my drysuit...I really have to hike everything up...almost give myself a wedgie...trying to get the waist of the shorts high enough to go around my hip bones, so it will stay up.

Just what I was looking for

About Me Advanced
These shorts are great in warm water. I ordered a large and almost sent them back for a medium but kept them anyway and like the loose fit.
Solid product
By IANTD Tech Cave, Normoxic Trimix
from Albany, NY
The shorts run a little large and I ended up in a Med instead of a Lg. The cut is nicer than the old X-Shorts from Dive Xtras and they're less bulky.
pocket shorts do the job
By Wayfarer NW
from Seattle, WA
Great addition to warm water wetsuits for carrying spool & surface signaling device, as well as other necessities when wetsuit and BC lack accessible pockets. Pockets are large and accordion designed so produce little drag when not stuffed with gear. However, I'd sooner trade a little strength achieved with the stiff nylon material for the flexibility of neoprene pockets.
Best Item I've bought!
By Jax
from Arizona
Love this thing - I always have the same things in the same pockets, the pockets are HUGE but the velcro sides keep them from just floating out there. The velcro is strong, so I put some velcro strips on the pockets to reduce the attachment areas. This is good, though, because in a few years, if the velcro breaks down, I can remove the strips for "fresh" velcro.

Any current Premier league footballers you'd like to see playing at one of the so-called 'big four' clubs? Or perhaps a club fighting for Champions League football?
Personally, I think Clint Dempsey should get a chance at one of the top clubs. He reminds me alot of Lampard in the sense that he scores consistently from midfield.
I've always rated Tim Cahill but he hasn't been playing aswell recently, maybe due to injuries. Fellaini, in my opinion, always shows alot of potential and I always signed him on FM. Also, Sessegnon looks a very well-rounded player. He's fast, got lots of skill, can set-up goals and score.
Any others you think could make it at a bigger club then they're at now?
real recognise real
jordan henderson
Fuck off about Dempsey.
"This is Fulham for heavens sake. This is a club which 15 years ago didnt have two brass filings to rub together, which used to play in front of 3 or 4000 rattling around here. Which once played on a night in Rochdale needing points to stay off the bottom of the English League. But were brought by a very rich man, and there he is. And which has now become a hugely enriched club.
Leighton Baines.
Papiss Cisse
Junior Hoilett (Think he could be a hit in the same way Valencia has been)
Adam Lallana
"Kicked out the game's what you get, me I walk out the game then I walk back in it"
I don't particularly want to see all the talent migrate to the top, I like that clubs hold on to their players like Spurs & Newcastle have managed to do.
I would like D'alessandro & Quaresma at a top club here in England.
Chelsea played Benfica & everybody seemed to be so impressed with Aimar & yet so disappointed that he was 32 if he was 22, a lot of the watching English public would want their club to sign him. It's not like they've never heard of Aimar before, but talented players an become rubbish in people's heads.
So it's important that they stay on a big platform otherwise people will just feel you're rubbish, you're done & you have noting to offer.
When they're still much better than most of the people you see turning out at the top of the table clubs.
Like when Anelka was in places like Turkey there was a snobbery feeling that Premier League clubs had become better than him & he had a bad attitude & he wasn't talented enough or worthy of a gamble.. That's up until Allardicci took a chance on him again...
I know D'alessandro is happy in Brazil, but he's real quality, he done well on his loan here he would brighten up a club & Quaresma hardly got a game at Chelsea on loan as Scolari signed him & then got sacked & Hiddink wanted to carry momentum by playing the same XI in all tournaments, so as a loanee that couldn't play UCL he didn't get a look in, but did well in the minuscule time he did play.
He's another that could shine he'd be perfect for a club like Liverpool

Movies We Like
Handpicked By The Amoeba Staff
Films selected and reviewed by discerning movie buffs, television junkies, and documentary diehards (a.k.a. our staff).
Carve Her Name With Pride
Honestly, I picked this one up because of the cover. The title struck me, as did the image of a flaxen-haired beauty brandishing a handgun. This is the true life story of British spy Violette Szabo (Virginia McKenna). Since her real life was gussied up for this film, I am simply going to refer to the film, not her life. Widowed in 1942 (her husband was a French soldier), she is propositioned to act as a liaison between British and French troops. Being fluent in French and athletics, she was a swell candidate. We follow her journey from 1940-1944. It's a nice time-warp to a period when evil was so easily defined. Nazis? Yes, EVIL! Torn between her only daughter and fulfilling her civic duty, she quickly decides to leave the former behind and finish what she felt her husband had been fighting for. We follow her to her unfortunate end in 1944.
I found the film highly enjoyable, in part from the very subtle camera work and non-invasive directing. In a scene when Violette is handed her husband's death letter by her mother, we simply see a door close. This was a very subdued and nice touch that goes along with the slight tension throughout the film. We don't see her reaction to her husband's death, and more importantly we never see McKenna overact. Her military training is fun to watch. Akin to a less nefarious Le Femme Nikita situation. Training montage, nasty drill instructor, and hijinks all included. There is a very striking scene of her wandering the streets of a German occupied French city while on her first mission. A stark contrast to the lightness of her home life in London.
Continue ReadingThe Limey
An ex-con straight out of prison travels from the U.K. to sunny Los Angeles to uncover the hidden truth of his only daughter's mysterious death in a fiery car crash. What he finds is a world that is completely foreign to him and he goes on a rampage to settle the score.
The screenplay by Lem Dobbs is a gritty, darkly comic take on the classic revenge film—a sort of American version of Mike Hodge's classic Get Carter. The script is lively and uniquely told, providing some wonderfully original moments and dialogue.
Continue ReadingBasquiat
In Julian Schnabel's intimate portrait of an artist, Jeffery Wright exploded on the film scene as Jean-Michel Basquiat, a graffiti artist turned international painter. The story is about his rise and fall amidst the New York elite, his friendship with Andy Warhol, and the women he loves.
After a successful painting career, Julian Schnabel (Oscar nominee for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) made his feature debut as a writer-director in this tribute to the life of his friend. His screenplay is simple, but efficient and his direction is gentle and compassionate -- bringing out wonderful performances from a brilliantly cast group of actors. He also does a great job of incorporating the music to define the times and emotions of the moment.
Continue ReadingBorn Yesterday
When I read the play "Born Yesterday," a comedy written by Garson Kanin, I was dying to watch the adapted classic film. The tale itself is so simple yet brilliant: a Pygmalion story. A man shapes a woman into his likeness and then falls in love with her. Add on a backdrop set in post-World War II in a hotel with a view of the White House, and the story becomes politically analytical. Kanin weaves his characters and elements together so flawlessly, in a manner that asks the audience to think about morality, social class, relations between the sexes, and intelligence subconsciously, while watching the plot unfold.
I finally had a chance to watch the film, and Judy Holliday and William Holden arrested my attention full-heartedly.
Continue ReadingPretty Poison
Returning from nearly a decade of making films in Europe, Anthony Perkins stars as Dennis Pitt, a mysterious young man with a history of being emotionally disturbed. Like many character actors who had such iconic roles as Perkins (see Psycho), it's hard to imagine him as anyone else. But in retrospect it is easier to see him as the great talent that he was. Simultaneously charming, terrifying, and maniacal. A slapstick master to boot.
Dennis's parole officer, Azenauer (the late John Randolph), sets the cautionary tone in the first 5 minutes with his predictive warning to Dennis: "You're going out into a very real and tough world. It's got no place for fantasies." Not only warning Dennis but we, the audience too. There is a lot of misconception and confusion thrown our way over the next 90 minutes. Dennis settles into a New England industrial town where he meets Sue Ann (Tuesday Weld). Its rural Massachusetts locale isolates it from the tumultuous atmosphere of city life during the 1960s. Essentially in a bubble, this film could've been made anywhere, in any time, and I think that's the real strength of the story.
Continue ReadingLord of War
Lord of War is a morality tale about a gunrunner's rise and fall in a world bent on violence and greed.
Andrew Niccol (Gattaga) wrote and directed this darkly comic story of an international arms dealer. His screenplay is interesting, satirical, and well-paced. The film's direction is stylish, quick, and greatly entertaining. Niccol has a sharp eye for details and finds the humor underlying the business of death -- or at least the irony of the lifestyle.
Continue ReadingEyes Of Laura Mars
Written by the ice-cool John Carpenter and released about two months prior to Halloween, this metaphysical serial murder mystery falls gently in the middle of the writer's spectrum of work, lying somewhere in between The Fog's biblical-styled justice from beyond the grave and the dystopian realism of Escape From New York. Also on board is soon-to-be-Empire Strikes Back-director, Irvin Kirshner. The pairing of these two talents ends up giving the film that classic 1970s American paranoid vibe with a zesty twist of the paranormal.
I watched this in the midst of a Faye Dunaway kick and she doesn't dazzle, but isn't disappointing in the titular role. Laura Mars is a controversial fashion photographer. Laura has her fair share of critics, as well as devotees. Depicting female models in strikingly violent city landscapes nonetheless brings her fame. (Icon Helmut Newton provided the actual photographs.) Out of the clear blue sky, she gets a psychic flash and witnesses a grisly murder from the killer's point of view. Wait, she knows the victim! Terrified, shocked, and confused she ends up falling into cahoots with Detective John Neville (Tommy Lee Jones). The visions continue (Laura knows each victim) and the two run through the picture adding up the clues. All the colorful characters are suspect, including Raul Julia who is unpleasantly excellent as Laura's ex-husband. Rene Auberjonois is also fabulous as Laura's assistant. The ending, we'll say, is classic Carpenter.
Continue ReadingMerci Pour le Chocolat (a.k.a. Nightcap)
I must admit this is the first Chabrol film that I have seen, and what a delight it is! Browsing the racks of the Foreign DVDs I couldn't help but notice how many of his films star the charming Isabelle Huppert (8 to be exact), whose performance as the Yin to Dustin Hoffman's Yang in I Heart Huckabees took me aback. Coupled with Mark Wahlberg's role, this was the most enjoyable factor of said film. Back to Merci...
I'm not going to delve too deeply into the plot logistics, so I'll try and make a good assessment of the main themes. Primarily this film's story is about trust, deceit, and the malleability of the family unit. It doesn't tackle these topics with too much severity and, in conjunction with its beautiful locations, soft colors, and hazy look, the whole thing goes down very smoothly, like a warm cup of hot chocolate. I need to hand it to Chabrol for portraying such heavy topics in a light manner, which is a rare feat to pull off.
Continue ReadingBilly the Kid
"I know I'm unique. I don't let it go to my head, though. I'm just someone who was born different than others. I'm not black, not white, not foreign. I'm just different in the mind."
Meet Billy Price. Not your average 15 year-old high school-student. Everyone knows Billy, but no one really knows him. Billy is the guy that sits in the cafeteria by himself. He's the one that looks a little bit funny. He talks funny. Billy has dreams of becoming the Terminator or even Gene Simmons. Most would consider Billy to be overly sensitive or even a bit socially inept. Personally, I think he's just misunderstood.
Continue ReadingU-Turn
"Bobby Cooper" (Penn) is a wandering gambler whose car breaks down in some lost Southwestern town where he's pulled into a web of lies, deceit, and murder.
Oliver Stone (W) directs one of his most re-watchable and entertaining films in a long and ambitious career. He creates a sinisterly fun Neo-Noir within the confines of a funky cowpoke town. The film maintains a strong mood throughout, with special attention paid to the details, and at a pace that never lets up.

Live In France 1961 (DVD)
DVD (Item 587009) Eagle Vision, 1961 — Condition: New Copy
Ray Charles from the height of his early career – caught live on two French performances from 1961! The material is 50 years old, but still has a raw intensity that holds up beautifully today – and maybe, just maybe, tops some of the over-seen images of Ray from later years that have circulated so much since his death. Given the date, most of the tunes are from Charles' Atlantic years – and titles include "Hornful Of Soul", "Doodlin", "One Mint Julep", "Sticks & Stones", "Let The Good Times Roll", "What'd I Say", "Ruby", and "I Believe To My Soul". Set features bonus tracks from both concerts, and runs for approximately 111 minutes. (NTSC coded, Region 1.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Morten N. - June 19, 2013(Albuquerque, NM)
Just got back home from a couple of cold mornings in the rockies. Vest kept me warm and loose. Nice fit.
troy - March 09, 2013(lake city, CO)
Seems like a great product, works well but should be available with single controller, which I had to purchase due to the big clunky dual that came with it.
Bob - January 31, 2013(prescott valley, AZ)
I ordered an XS as my chest is 37"and a 29 waist. I got it and it fit fine. I like the wiring harness and it works well adapting to a bikes wiring. The controller works well but is big. Nice option would be to have choice of the single controller instead. Test ride it was 20 degrees outside. The vest worked great! I was comfortable and toasty warm.
Eroll - January 26, 2013(El Paso, TX)
Well I must say this jacket got some good warmth in it. El Paso doesnt get cold a lot but I dont really like the cold but I like to ride. Today the weather got down to the low 30's so I decided to try the vest. Kept me very warm, and did not feel any cold thru my body. Also I must say I wear a TOUR MASTER jacket but bottom line I can feel the heat thru that vest great. I recommend it.
Jon - December 13, 2012(Bentonville, AR)
The finish of the vest is really good and I like all the thought that went into the wiring harness so that one control can work all the appeal. I haven't used the vest much but wonder if it can keep up with a very cold ride. There aren't a lot of pockets but I guess that is what an outer jacket is for. It is a little tight in the chest for me (medium vest for my 41" chest).
Dan T. - November 19, 2012(Hedgesville, WV)
30 deg. Riding is not a problem. Of special note no special controller needed. The controller is able to control the vest & another item such as gloves or socks. Don't know about durability yet, but it looks & feels very well made.
dmason - October 17, 2012(Lafayette, IN)
Have only used this a few times but so far so good. I generally wear a Large, that's what I bought and it fits. If anything consider going down one size. I would probably find a Medium to be nice and snug (heated gear should NOT fit loose) but Medium would be too short on me. Considering the controller is included this is an exceptional buy. Heats up almost instantly and gets HOT, have never needed to use the highest setting. My Tourmaster gear has never let me down and I have a bunch of it!
nc - October 04, 2012(Hollyood , FL)
The vest fits just perfect. Pretty awesome vest. Looking forward to staying warm on my cross country this fall...
Randy - July 05, 2012(Long Beach, CA)
The practical side is that the vest works well, fits well and hopefully it will last more than a season unlike other vest I have owned. However, the trollers is waaaaaayy too bulky and awkward. And, the instruction say that you cannot use any other troller such as a wireless product. Also there is no pocket on the inside to reduce the outward wiring.
Alexa - March 09, 2012(Vancouver, BC)
The moment I put this vest on all I could think was where have you been all my life! The vest is easy to adjust while riding and the three heat settings make any temperature comfortable. The hot setting even keeps me warm enough to ride in 3 or 4 degree weather. Be warned the sizing runs VERY large. I am 5'8 female that typically wears a small or medium size shirt. I ordered XS and it was still way too big.

Topic Overview
What is bullying?
Bullying is acting in ways that scare or harm another person. Kids who bully usually pick on someone who is weaker or more alone, and they repeat the actions over and over. Bullying starts in elementary school and becomes most common in middle school. By high school, it is less common but still occurs.
Bullying can take many forms, including:
- Physical harm, such as hitting, shoving, or tripping.
- Emotional harm, such as making fun of the way a child acts, looks, or talks. Writing mean things about someone in emails or online journals (blogs) is also bullying.
Girls who bully are more likely to do so in emotional ways. Boys who bully often do so in both physical and emotional ways. For example:
- A girl may form a group and exclude another girl or gossip about her.
- A boy may shove another boy and call him names.
Both boys and girls take part in "cyberbullying." This means using high-tech devices to spread rumors or to send hurtful messages or pictures. Emotional bullying doesn't leave bruises, but the damage is just as real.
If you think your child is being bullied—or is bullying someone else—take action to stop the abuse.
Why is it important to stop bullying?
Bullying is a serious problem for all children involved. Kids who are bullied are more likely to feel bad about themselves and be depressed. They may fear or lose interest in going to school. Sometimes they take extreme measures, which can lead to tragic results. They may carry weapons, use violence to get revenge, or try to harm themselves.
Kids who bully others are more likely to drop out of school, have drug and alcohol problems, and break the law.
What are the traits of children who bully?
Children who bully are often physically strong. They may bully because they like the feeling of power. They may be kids who do things without thinking first and may not follow rules. These boys and girls have not learned to think about the feelings of other people.
Kids who physically bully others sometimes come from homes where adults fight or hurt each other. They may pick on other kids because they have been bullied themselves.
Children who bully need Reference counseling Opens New Window. It can help them understand why they act as they do. And it can teach them how to interact with others in more positive ways. Family counseling is especially helpful for these children.
How do children who are bullied act?
Children who are bullied are often quiet and shy. They may have few friends and find it hard to stand up for themselves. They may begin to think that they deserve the abuse.
What can children do if they are bullied?
Children are often scared and angry when they are bullied. They may not know what to do. Teach them to:
- Talk back. Say, "Leave me alone," or "You don't scare me." Have your child practice saying this in a calm, strong voice.
- Walk away. Don't run, even if you are afraid.
- Tell an adult. A parent or teacher can then take steps to stop the bullying.
What can you do to stop bullying?
Bullying can be stopped if people pay attention and take action.
Bullying most often occurs in school, and it is most common in schools where students are not well supervised. If bullying is happening at your child's school, talk to the principal or vice principal. Urge the school to adopt a no-bullying policy. All children should know that those who bully will be punished. Children who are bullied should be supported and protected.
As a parent, you can help your child get involved in new hobbies or groups, such as school clubs or church youth groups. Being part of a group can help reduce bullying. Having friends can help a child have a better self-image.
Kids can help keep other kids from being bullied. If you are a kid, don't let yourself be part of the problem.
- Speak up when you see someone else being picked on. It can help to say something like, "Cut it out. That's not funny." If this is too hard or scary to do, walk away and tell an adult.
- If someone sends you a mean email about another person, don't forward it to others. Print it out and show it to an adult.

JamieAtlanta, GeorgiaCaruso Steam CurlersI received a Caruso Steam Hairsetter as a gift eight years ago, and it is unbelievable what a difference those steam curlers make in my hair. My hair is straight and fine. The Caruso curlers give my hair so much body and bounce. I love my Caruso products!posted Jan 11, 2005Link to this post
LoniCaruso ProtravelerThis product is awesome!!I bought one for my mom and I, and she uses it more than I do. Its really fast and the curls do last. It will definitely be going with me on my next trip.posted Jan 10, 2005Link to this post
MaryApache Junction, AZCaruso Replacement RollersI have had my Caruso hairsetter for over 15 years now. The original rollers lasted over 10 years before having to be replaced. I bought the replacement rollers last year and they are already falling apart. They use to offer just the sponges but now you have to buy the whole roller. Quality is not the best, evidently, as they dont last that long. But I love the steam and what it does for my hair - I am hooked. Please see what you can do to perfecting a better quality sponge roller!!!!posted Dec 22, 2004Link to this post
MimiMarylandRollersI was very happy with the ease of buying online and getting the product so quickly...I was alittle disappointed with the actual roller, it is quite spongy now instead of the more cushion type I had when I first purchase my set many many years ago....just takes alittle getting use to, but thanks again...posted Dec 9, 2004Link to this post
LoraBest Value, Great Product.This is a great value for this product. Folica has done a great job keeping the price to an affordable value. The product is of the highest quality and am referring to all friends that love a soft curl without all the headaches.posted Dec 1, 2004Link to this post
JanetCurlersI have used the Caruso system for many years. I find it does the best job for my hair; however, the curlers do tend to wear out and when purchased in a hairstyle store, they are of a different quality and the curlers fall out. The appearance of the ones that are offered online seem to be the same ones I just purchased last week. The original curlers were the best type.posted Oct 22, 2004Link to this post
LynnLos Angeles, CACaruso Sponge CurlersI have searched beauty stores high and low for these curlers.I thought since i bought the set so long ago maybe they didnt make the curlers anymore. I was sad cause I have hard to curl hair and other than sleeping in sponge curlers this is the only product that worked and kept the curl.I am so glad that you offer the curlers online!posted Sep 21, 2004Link to this post
JenniferGeorgiaThis Is The BestMy hair is straight as a board and will not hold a curl except with a steam setter. Ive had my Caruso set 4 years and have never had a problem. My hair is also very fine and easily damaged. I NEVER have to worry about damage with these rollers. It actually improves my hair.posted Sep 10, 2004Link to this post

In the context of the perpetual crisis of urban transportation in Bucharest, there is a growing population of city dwellers fighting for bicycle rights and advocating for a new, bicycle friendly infrastructure in Bucharest. The bicycle fans coagulated since the mid 2000's into different groups and NGO's and developed into a new movement and a powerful presence in the urban landscape, adopting several strategies of public participation.
1. Background
Purpose, Problem and History
The purposes of the CommonGround public deliberations in the U.S. state of New Mexico were to demonstrate a new mode of policy communication between New Mexico's citizens and civic leaders, and to create policy guidelines that could inform changes to early childhood development and education policy in New Mexico, changes intended to foster improved social outcomes for New Mexico's children.

(WFIE) Loud, mysterious booms heard overnight have Indiana residents scratching their heads.
The Vanderburgh Sheriff's office has investigated the noises, but found nothing.
"The sound was like a war bomb," Stacy Lowery said.
Lowery, who lives in Newburgh, had just put her kids to bed and was sitting on the couch when she heard it Tuesday night.
"A huge explosion, like definitely knew it wasn't a firecracker going off. I've never heard anything like it, very disturbing," Lowery said.
Lowery wasn't the only one.
Evansville Dispatch got several calls between 9:30 and 11 Monday night reporting an explosion.
"We obviously dispatched cars. I believe the EFD dispatched crews, the EPD. At the end of the day, we're not able to find anything," Sheriff Eric Williams said.
Crews scoured the area, but didn't find anything.
"It had to be something a little bit different than the typical explosion," Sheriff Williams said.
But what?
It wasn't an earthquake. The USGS doesn't have reports of any activity in our area.
The Air Force says it wasn't performing any military drills, either.
Interestingly, there have been reports of unexplained booms from Arizona to Rhode Island. No one has been able to explain them.

Restaurant Love
Mizuna Continues To Steal Hearts After Twelve Years
Reviewed September 2008 - Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living
Cuisine: Upscale Bistro / Vegetarian
My infatuation with Mizuna spans almost a decade now. Your acquaintance may be even longer. Or if you have yet to be introduced, allow me.
Mizuna opened in 1996 as the somewhat impulsive initiative of Sylvia Wilson and Tonia Buckmiller. The two had met in California in a boarding school that served only sketchy vegetarian fare. Wilson and Buckmiller decided they could do better and did, running a small catering business together for a while in California. Mizuna was born when they reconnected years later up here.
I fell in love three years later: on one of my first meals in town. Even as a committed carnivore I was immediately captivated. Here was vegetarian food served with such flair that the absence of meat was utterly inconsequential. Great food is great food, period.
Over the years much has changed at 214 North Howard. Now there is sustainably-raised meat on the menu, sharing space with the organic vegetarian and vegan options. Several different chefs have taken a spin in the kitchen. And now neither Wilson or Buckmiller will greet you when you walk in the door. Buckmiller sold her share of the business in 2003. Three years later Wilson in turn passed along the keys to a long-time employee, Michael Jones.
Yet what has remained constant is the truly creative food served in one of the best restaurant spaces in the whole city. Personally I'm a sucker for exposed brick, stained glass, and scuffed wooden floors; and Mizuna pulls these all together in a way that feels warm as well as sophisticated. Think Seattle on the Palouse.
This goes for the service as well. I appreciate its consistent, relaxed, but still attentive feel. This may be due in part to Jones' own experience not as owner but as a waiter himself. His first job at Mizuna in 1996 was out front waiting tables.
Over time the menu has evolved: gathering inspiration as different talents have spent time in the kitchen. But the current incarnation under Michael Jones and his chef Tom Paul Nichols manages to be a brilliant blend of both Mizuna classics and their own dishes.
The salad on the menu in 1999 that played a part in me accepting a job in town (the white cheddar and apple salad) can still be ordered both at lunch and dinner. I would order it without fail except for the disturbing fact that the roasted beet and lentil salad is equally brilliant with its chevre, candied walnuts, and red wine-maple vinaigrette. A well-traveled friend agrees completely, pronouncing the beet salad 'life changing.'
Yet if you stop by for dinner tonight, you'll be as tempted by recent additions as classic dishes. At the top of the list of the newcomers is easily the smoked jalapeño and honey glazed Berkshire pork chops ($28) served with a sweet potato tamale, grilled zucchini and a sweet corn salsa. Only a whisper behind would be the tender potato gnocchi served either with a roasted organic free-range chicken breast ($22) or more simply set on a vegetarian plate ($18). Go either way since the star of the dish really is the gnocchi.
Jones changes the dinner menu significantly with each season, but has found that the lunch crowd appreciates more consistency. You won't hear any complaints from me with the likes of a sesame crusted seared ahi sandwich on the lunch menu ($11) along with the Thai coconut and kaffir lime stew with scallops and shrimp (also $11). The ahi sandwich in particular offers a bright blend of flavors and textures on chewy La Brea ciabatta.
Not surprisingly, given the attention paid to the other details, dessert is worth careful consideration. The celebrated vegan carrot cake is back on the dessert menu ($7.5) along with a flourless dark chocolate hazelnut pave ($6) and a cashew crusted key lime tart ($6), but for my money the sun-dried cherry, amaretto and pistachio bread pudding ($6) is the way to go.
Start to finish I see no sign that my delight in dining at Mizuna will end anytime soon. I'm hooked on the food, the mood of the place, and the gracious service. And I suspect I'm not alone.

2013 Audition Dates: Dec. 7, 2013
2014 Audition Dates: Jan. 25, 2014; Feb. 15, 2014; March 22, 2014
Admission Requirements
In addition to PBA application procedures, prospective students seeking to major in music must file an application with the School of Music and Fine Arts. Approval for study in the Bachelor of Music program or the Bachelor of Arts program is based on several factors, including an audition, interview and review of previous work.
Application materials should be received and auditions completed at least six weeks before the beginning of your first term in the music major in order to ensure a place in applied music, ensembles and required music courses. Priority music scholarship consideration is given to student applications that are complete (audition and application finished) prior to March 15. No audition or interview is required for the music minor unless scholarship is requested.
Application and Scheduling
Auditions need to be scheduled when applying as a student to PBA. You must be accepted by PBA, and you must be accepted by the Department of Music as a music major. The order is not important, although students who have been accepted to PBA prior to their audition receive financial aid information much more quickly.
Audition Day Scheduling
Auditions need to be scheduled by completing the online auditions form or by calling (561) 803-2400 in the School of Music and Fine Arts.
The normal Schedule for a Saturday Audition Day is as follows:
9 a.m. - Check-in for morning auditions; practice rooms open
10 a.m. - Morning Auditions and Tours Begin for groups 1 & 2
11 a.m. - Check-in for afternoon auditions; practice rooms open
Noon - Lunch for Students and Parents Provided
Presentation from the Dean; Q & A with faculty
1 p.m. - Afternoon Auditions and Tours Begin for groups 3 & 4

Hey so I just recently discovered that I have a really mild form of autism, how would you guys recommend telling my family and friends about it? I'm 17, and the fact that I'm autistic doesn't bother me at all but I'm unsure how they will react.
Hey so I just recently discovered that I have a really mild form of autism, how would you guys recommend telling my family and friends about it? I'm 17, and the fact that I'm autistic doesn't bother me at all but I'm unsure how they will react.
I have Asperger's, and I'm so ashamed of it, to the point of feeling like an internet pariah.
I'm usually so frustrated and angry, as a combination of autism, being adopted, and being lifelong obvious troll bait
make me feel like an alien/mutant/worthless piece of shit if I think about it too much.
And the person who saved my sanity now hates me.
Fun life, yo.
I think I might have asperger's(?) syndrome bluh don't know yet
If you think you might have something, see a professional for a real diagnosis. Self diagnosing is a terrible idea.
Still, do not self-diagnose. Loads of people use a self-diagnosis of autism as a way to seem cute, quirky, or as justification for being an asshole, or just so they can be taken more seriously in the SJ community. Not saying you're out to do any of this, but seriously, self-diagnosing will only make you look like one of those douchebags. You have a therapist. Getting a diagnosis really isn't that hard for you then. Speculating whether or not you have [x] is fine, or even saying that you *think*/are pretty sure you have something is, in my book, but like I said, a flat-out self-diagnosis is bad, and belittles the diagnosis itself (not saying that a diagnosis of autism is a bad thing, just saying that a lot of people really don't like it being taken lightly).
You really should talk to the therapist if you think you have autism or depression or what have you. Again, speculating is fine. But please please please don't do what some of those people on Tumblr do and just tack on the label without talking to any sort of professional.
I may or may not have ADD/something on the spectrum of Autism. Alternatively, I'm just one of them "gifted" kids who are ostracized so early on in life that they never learn social skills until middle school as a result.
Even that was trial by fireand getting my violin case stepped on. :U
They tried to put me on ADD medication in 6th grade but they eventually gave up because it didn't really do anything(other than improve my ability to look like I'm paying attention). That and I "lost"(read as: disposed of) the bottle. That took some elaborate planning to pull off.
*barges unceremoniously into thread* Hi guys, another guy with Aspergers over here. How's everyone?
v Click the spoiler! v
While I'll never be diagnosed anywhere on the AUTISM SPECTRUM because 1: I really don't care if I am and 2: Doctors are pretty much the most evil things on the planet (And I can prove it with a single phrase. "Does it hurt when I do this?").
Despite that, I have a close friend with Aspergers and it's kind of funny how much my hatred-of-humanity and lack-of-caring have almost the same effect on how I behave. Like, one time he was asking me how I stay relatively safe in social situations and I replied "I just kind of assume everyone's me and they'll have the same social boundries". Took me a couple of seconds that that's the basis of his entire social awkwardness. That's happened with different things a couple of other times too with different subjects.
So, uhm hello.
Edit: Whoops, forgot 3: I don't have anything that sits on it.

I got ADHD, Asperger's, and...probably a bunch of other stuff? I dunno.
To be honest, though...I only really identify as having ADHD. I was diagnosed with Asperger's and pretty much stopped identifying with it once I got into about...7th or 8th grade? It's pretty mild for me.
...To be honest, it's just something that I want to forget about. My parents are under the impression that I've been using it as an excuse for getting out of things despite my never having used it as an excuse for anything. It's gotten to the point where it just feels like it's nothing more than an unwanted label.
I'm on pesterchum (sometimes). Pester me as screwballSparky or as one of my many trolls.

For me, my Aspergers was crippling. I had huge amounts of trouble in school, and none of my teachers understood, and thought the reason I wasn't working is that I was just being disobediant, not realizing I was actually having immense difficulties because their teaching style simply didn't work for me. At the end of the year, I was on assignment away from failing one of my classes, which would have caused me to have to repeat 8th grade. A teacher (who was thankfully a bit more understanding than the others) actually had to sit down with me and almost pull teeth to help me finish it so I could graduate (not for my sake, either, but so the school didn't look bad). That assignment? A one paragraph book report. I almost failed middle school because I couldn't write a single paragraph. It seemed almost like I was cursed.
But then, just when everything seemed bleakest, everything changed.
At around this time, I was first diagnosed with Aspergers. My parents did some research, and learned about Orion Academy, a private high school founded specifically to help people with Aspergers (and NLD). A school full of teachers who understood how I worked, and could help me overcome my challenges. A school full of students who had been through the same things I had, who would understand me instead of making fun of me. A school that would help me live with Aspergers, to make use of it, to do things normal people couldn't.
That was nearly four years ago. Now, my life has changed for the better so, so much. I've been able to do things that I couldn't have even dreamed before. I have more friends than the number of people I kind of knew existed in public school. I've found my passion, and what I want to do with my life. Now, I'm a senior, just a few months from graduating. It's just amazing to look back, and see how far I've come. But I didn't do it by overcoming my Aspergers. That's not something I can do, not something I WANT to do, because it's part of who I am. I did it by accepting this, and working together with it, instead of fighting against it. I've learned that, in a way, Aspergers isn't a curse.
It's a blessing.

Not autistic myself, but I thought this was relevant: A portrait of the autist
It's actually one of the few raps (and rappers) I like.
Apparently I have aspergers, but my mother hammered out some of the more noticable autistic traits out of me when I was younger, then there was a speech therapist and then I unconsciously became a funny guy and improved my social skills cause I realised that if I could make people laugh myself, they wouldn't be such a hassle to me. Y'know, minor bullying and stuff.
So overall, not that big a deal for me. Just something I use/am forced to put down on school things if my parents thing I can get an advantage somehow out of it. Little embarrassing.
You know, a weird thing about aspergers that I've noticed in both myself and other people who have it...
People with Asperger's Syndrome tend to be very argumentative, and have a lot of trouble backing down from an argument. It's weird because it doesn't seem to be frequently mentioned with relation to it, but I've seen it quite a bit.
Anyone else notice this?
I'm on pesterchum (sometimes). Pester me as screwballSparky or as one of my many trolls.

I HAVE to blow everything up! It's the only way to prove I'm not CRAZY!
chumHandle: eccentricEngineer
Yeah, I have a friend (same one I mentioned earlier) who always argues with me, pretty much. Thing is, I don't really back down from arguments either. Except I use the FACTS and PROOF and so win more often than not. Even when he knows he's wrong and will say so afterwards, he'll argue anyway. Also causes problems with authority figures, because they're not exempt from the arguing.
Actually, the more I write down the more amusing I find it that I've socially learned a load of stuff that's pretty similar to a mild form of Aspergers. Most of this stuff applies to me except I know that I have no natural disorders or anything, I just grew up in a kind of weird social situation and I've ended up the way I am.
I don't have assburgers,
but I do have Bipolar type 2, clinical depression, and social anxiety.
i'm sami and i like penis
my chumhandle is grimCentaur and so is my tumblr
i'm sami and i sing in da choir
Don't personally think I've aspergers, Been told I have by multiple people, am in the middle of psychological assessment, ya dah, ya dah,
My real question is does it really make a difference? To be honest this assessment is saying I'm also bi polar, depressed, sociopath, and have pyromaniac tendencies- But couldn't all the symptoms for these just be personal choice? So I don't focus on school, but I can spend hours learning about quantum mechanics. Doesn't mean I've a mental syndrome, just a matter of interests isn't it? Personality traits aren't really symptoms are they? Well personally I think I've nothing wrong with me but this thread does interest me, Do any of you think the medical industry is dosing out personality traits with too much ease or am I just paranoid?
and now I can actually say yes, I have Asperger's Syndrome
Hey so I'm one of those people who probably has a pretty mild form of Autism but has not been formally diagnosed. I've known that I'm different from other people since I can remember so discovering what I might have didn't have much of an effect other than "oh hey cool now I know what to call it when I tell people my brain doesn't work the same way as theirs".
Because I really don't give an intensifier if I "officially" have this condition or not, is it worth getting a formal diagnosis? The only way I can really see it changing my life in any significant way is if I could apply to some generous scholarships that would otherwise be closed to me. Do you guys know about anything like that?

ONE of Cumbria's biggest job creation and enterprise initiatives is hunting for a new chief executive.
Britain's Energy Coast (BEC) is the economic and regeneration body looking to exploit opportunities coming up in West Cumbria.
The area is said to be on the brink of a "gold-rush" in the nuclear and renewable energy technology sectors.
The current top job has been in the hands of ex-Sellafield manager Tom Gilroy, who has been interim chief executive and a programme manager for the past two-and-half years after being seconded from Sellafield.
Mr Gilroy, based at Moss Bay House, Workington, will return to Sellafield having piloted the new organisation through an important chapter in its early history including a complex merger.
This summer it published its far-reaching West Cumbria Economic Blueprint, setting out aspirations and targets for the future.
Forecasting an eye-watering £90billion of investment into West Cumbria and the possibility of between 3,000 and 4,400 new jobs being created, it was congratulated by both private sector companies and top Government ministers in the sector.
Energy MP Charles Hendry and Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk all saluted the blueprint which Mr Gilroy and BEC chairman Brian Wilson also showcased in Whitehall following a presentation to 200 delegates at Energus, Lillyhall.
Britain's Energy Coast says of its recruitment drive: "We are looking for a "strategic leader with a strong background in the fields of regeneration, business, property and stakeholder relations. The ideal candidate will be responsible for directing the organisation's focus and funding as dictated by the recently-published West Cumbria Economic Blueprint."
The salary for the post will be between £70,000 and £80,000.
Mr Gilroy said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at BEC and I am immensely proud of what I and my team have achieved.
"My job was to bring the various organisations together to make BEC, get traction into our programme and then develop a strategy for the future.
"With these three key tasks complete, I feel it is appropriate I hand over the reins to someone who can build on this and take the organisation forward."
