- Westminster edges Rocky women, 1-0
- As her team's bus rumbled between Salt Lake City and Billings last Wednesday, Jessica Harris felt confident. The Griffins, who endured some mid-season difficulties, would need three consecutive victories to win the NAIA Unaffiliated Group Tournament. "We had a lot of new players, some transfers, so it took time. In the last couple of weeks, everything started to align,'' Harris said. "Even before the tournament, I just knew this wasn't going to be my last weekend of soccer." For complete story from Billings Gazette: Read more

Star Trek: Infinite Space launches in Fall | |
Posted: 12.06.2011 04:59 by | Comments: 5 |
One of the more intriguing games that was shown off at E3 2011 was Gameforge's free-to-play, browser-based MMO Star Trek: Infinite Space. Unlike Star Trek Online, Infinite Space promises to give the full Star Trek experience, focusing as much on the diplomatic and social aspects of the series as much as the combat. Related games: |

05 Jul 2012 | #2 |
| I really do not see this as a bad thing but something more positive. Think of it this way, C is a partition for the OS alone. Only windows and windows updates should go here from now on. Treat D as the storage partition, make a new folder and call it Software or Program files. It will look like this D:\Program Files\_______ and save all the programs in this location. I would then uninstall the programs and reinstall them on this new partition. That way you can clear up some room for C drive. The advantages of this is in case you need to format, any documents, pictures, songs store on D partition would remain safe. Since you would just format and reinstall windows on C partition. The downfalls come when you are doing system image backups and it now has to do both partitions. Another downfall would the need to change the installation location manually every time or you could edit the registry and change to the new location. I would advise against this since editing the registry can lead to catastrophic episodes later on. I do not think you can merge C and D, unless you delete both volumes (partitions) and then they can join together. |

| I will take a wild guess he wants to extend the windows partition. There is an extended partition to the right of it. If you don't want anything on that D part, delete it and extend windows part. |

| Should the recovery partition be active like in the op post. |
My System Specs |
05 Jul 2012 | #6 |
| That's a good question Layback since it has the 100mb OEM partition which should likely be the System Reserved partition marked System and Active. However some OEM's also make Recovery System Active so it will boot easier. It might have changed if OP ran Recovery or repairs. As to the mystery question, to delete D if you don't want it and have everything moved off of it use these two procedures: Partition or Volume - Delete D, then rightclick on C Partition or Volume - Extend |

This weekend while out shopping I found myself suddenly craving a big greasy cheeseburger smothered in grilled onions.
Meh, they both cook their burgers on a griddle, and all griddled burgers are so-so, only flame grilled is truly a great burger.
Similarly, Esquire magazine's Eat Like a Man blog celebrates "foods that men love and … ways that men eat", embracing the idea of gendered eating as a way of marking out their masculinity in grilled meat.
The amount of HCAs formed in grilled meats typically triples if meats are cooked well done rather than medium well, she noted.
Thinly sliced and covered in grilled onions and slices of American cheese, it was really tasty, making me wish I had just gone with a double steak & cheese.
Iended upgoing with the pork chops, which werepretty thick andcovered in grilled onions (the way all meat should come at a latin food place!).
Churrasco, covered in grilled onions and chimichurri, black beans, rice and maduros (sweet fried plantains).
Then it's home to make potato salad and grill veggie hotdogs on the grill - which we'll have smothered in grilled onions and peppers.
A couple blocks from Baird's museum is The Rosebery restaurant, an exceptionally fine establishment that specializes in grilled sea bass.
They had of course met Vera before this evening though she had never served them dinner, never entertained them, never told them stories of her travels and anecdotes about her famous political friends, never, in short, grilled them like an expert interrogator.

Cigarettes are burning down to my fingers
in my motel, where the smell still lingers
from the night before...
with a ten dollar whore who didn't even know my name
the TV says nothing, nothing to me
and i feel so low in the highest degree
like a tree with no root, like a gun that don't shoot
like a dog outside on a chain
and theres no use for me to sit here an moan
many a man has been more alone
and i might feel better if i write a letter
if i write a letter home
yeah i heard the news bout' that ol gang of mine
they're all getting married, they're all doing fine
they're all getting older, and needin' a shoulder
that's easy to lean on...
but as for me, i'm half way to Denver
how long has it been? I just can't remember
it all starts to fade, cause' the life that i've made
is the life that i dream on...
and there's no use for me to sit here and moan
many a man has been more alone
and i might feel better if i write a letter
if i write a letter home
now i can't help but to be who i am
though i've let many women slip from my hands

Young American: Rebecca Fazenbaker (July 13, 2013) |
Rebecca Fazenbaker has always been captivated by the less conventional.
For years, she wanted to study reptiles but has found a new calling in a specialized engineering field.
The 18-year-old Turkeyfoot Valley Area High School graduate developed a fondness for snakes at an early age at her home in Addison, where she often would catch garter and black racer varieties and keep them in cages on her porch.
"I was always a tomboy," she said. "All the girls would be creeped out. I thought it was cool."
It may have started with insects first, Fazenbaker said. She remembers she and her sister numbering cicada wings with Sharpie markers to try track them.
Through most of her high school career, she wanted to be a herpetologist, a zoologist who studies reptiles and amphibians, and she volunteered at Tristate Zoological Park in Cumberland as part of her senior project, "Poisonous Snakes of Western PA."
At the zoo, she would clean cages or feed animals and keep an eye on the reptiles to make sure they were acting normally and didn't show signs of distress or disease.
"I just like the way they feel, the way they behave," she said. "There was a tegu (lizard) at the zoo, Edgar. He was a total gentleman. He acted like a cat when you scratched between his eyes. Each animal, they're just all very different."
But it was at another job where her engineering talents were discovered. Fazenbaker, who finished out her senior year of high school last fall as a dual enrollment student at Allegany College of Maryland, began working at Juergensen Marine, Inc., in Addison last November to help out with administrative duties such as filing paperwork.
Her curiosity — maybe the same urge that compelled her to chase snakes — made her a standout employee and an engineering intern at the company, which manufactures underwater life support systems, according to the company's chief engineer.
"She hadn't done a whole lot of hands-on technical work before," Eric Hilty said. "She started out working more as a paper pusher, but then she started noticing things in the shop and it kind of exploded."
The teen was tasked with looking into a couple of engineering puzzles for the manufacturer and was able to come up with solutions, some of which the company still is employing.
"She's done nothing but impress me," Hilty said.
Both her parents, Lynn and David Fazenbaker, are engineers, so she knew engineering was an option but had not considered it seriously until she gained that real-world experience, she said.
"I started out as a secretary and then found myself working with a soldering iron," she said. "I was drawn into it. I decided to totally change my career, except I kept that biology."
Now, she wants to be a biomimetic engineer, someone who observes natural biological phenomenon and figures out how to use it in human or machine applications. An example would be studying geckos to figure out how the skin on their feet helps them climb walls and then finding ways that the creature's design could be incorporated into products for people, she said.
It's a bit of a blend between her first interest in reptiles and her newfound knack for engineering. Hilty said Fazenbaker also spoke to his wife, a biometrics engineer in the federal government, about the lack of women in engineering. According to a 2012 report from the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, women engineers represent just 14 percent of the total engineering workforce.
She is headed to the University of Pittsburgh this fall, where she hopes to achieve a double major in both mechanical engineering and biology. A family friend, who she said she considers an adoptive brother, also helped her decide to study engineering in addition to biology, rather than straight biology, to expand her job possibilities.
"My mom had suggested it, too, a few years ago," she said. "I always kind of kept it in the back of my mind."
Though studying two intense fields for her double major will be a challenge, it certainly won't be the first she's faced.
Just after she turned 13, Fazenbaker was told she had a large benign liver tumor, bigger than a softball.
Through four years and rounds of treatments that included 10 embolization procedures, the teen stayed upbeat and focused on her schoolwork. She named the tumor Fred and kept fighting. Last summer, surgeons removed her tumor, gallbladder and half her liver.
From ninth to 11th grades, Fazenbaker missed more than 48.5 days of school due to the liver tumor, her mother said, but still managed to graduate high school with a 3.94 GPA and 15 college credits.
"She handled this ordeal with a sense of adventure and humor," Mrs. Fazenbaker said.

Guest Blogger Jamie Lauren: Kitchen Tale #1
Introducing the first of our guest food blogger series. For six weeks, Tuesdays are your chance to get inside the mind of everyone from a Top Chef contestant (yes, like Jamie) to a food stylist to a dishwasher to a farmer. Get to know how they live, breathe and, most importantly, eat San Francisco.
Being a chef is not as glamorous as it might seem. Unless you're Daniel Boulud or Eric Ripert with a full-on entourage, it's early mornings and late nights spent in the kitchen trying to retain some semblance of control.
Take a recent day: I hit the snooze button three times after the 7 am buzzer went off, showered, dressed and began a slow jog from the Castro to Absinthe, where I work as the executive chef, in Hayes Valley. Arriving sweaty and bleary-eyed, I said hi to my all-male crew and headed upstairs to change into chef whites.
Then the craziness began. We had a Bartender's Guild Lunch for 30 (50 actually showed) and a 20-person dinner. A full house was expected in the dining room and the bar, not to mention the symphony started at 8 pm, which meant 120-plus hungry people, each demanding about three courses at exactly the same time.
After ripping apart the walk-in, reorganizing and throwing things away (this is my one completely obsessive-compulsive habit)—and finding we have no red peppers, baby romaine, kumquats, or shallots, all needed for lunch service in three hours—I stepped into my one-foot by one-foot space to begin making celery root soup. Lunch service, as usual, meant too many burgers and tuna confit niçoise to count. By about 3 pm I took a break for my first meal of the day: a chocolate chip cookie, chickpea salad and a bottle of Smart Water. I quickly read through Eater and Michael Bauer's blog.
Then dinner:
5 pm: Scanned reservations book for VIPs. Found four.
5:30 pm: The shit storm started.
5:45 pm: Every person showed up late and with the symphony starting time looming, guests were still ordering two-plus courses. The salad station was in the weeds and the plates were going out looking right.
6 pm: Quality control. I used makeup sponges to clean the plates before they went out.
6:20 pm: We were still getting reamed. One hundred were still sitting, all demanding food at the same time.
6:45 pm: Lost an entire four-top because they waited too long for their food and the symphony called. Thirty people arrived to dine in the PDR. It's super-duper fun to be a chef.
7 pm: Felt really bad—comp'ed a lot of food. Headed into the twelfth hour of work.
7:30 pm: Met a Top Chef fan. She flew in from NY to meet me. She gave me her phone number (and then Facebook friended me!).
8:45: Left for the evening. The kitchen still did 150 more covers and served until midnight.
9:30 pm: Had two drinks at Eureka in the Castro and a few bites of mac 'n' cheese. Watched the midnight airing of Top Chef. Surreal.

Gear: Sabre Red OC Spray
Sabre Red OC Spray
Security Equipment CorporationCategory: | Officer Safety Products |
Subcategory: | Less Than Lethal Force |
Price: | MK-4 about $40.00 |
Average Rating: | (16 Votes) |
Description: | Security Equipment Corporation, a family owned and operated manufacturer, distributes its products worldwide. In our 32+ years of existence, our core products have always been Aerosol Irritant Projectors (AIP): Law Enforcement AIP, Civilian Self-Defense Sprays, and Animal Attack Deterrent Sprays. Prior to the Montreal Protocol, we were a large producer of Halon Fire Extinguishers. We launched our law enforcement product line in 1997, and we released our new SABRE DECON product in 2007. After numerous requests, market research and testing, we decided to introduce SABRE Law Enforcement Aerosol Projectors in 1997. Agencies worldwide have switched to SABRE products because of SABRE's product performance, independent laboratory testing, quality control, HPLC guarantee, training and service. Security Equipment Corporation now operates four (4) aerosol lines dedicated exclusively to producing aerosol irritant projectors. We believe our exclusive focus on this category, our 32+ years experience and commitment to producing the best AIP possible; have made Security Equipment Corporation the global leader in our respected category. Ultimately, most agencies have switched to our products due to performance and safety aspects. SABRE provide officers with the best AIP and the best chance to gain control of "goal oriented", alcohol and/or drug induced and emotionally disturbed subjects without the need to escalate to a higher level of force. Our commitment to research and testing will only allow us to improve on our superior products as we move forward. Our ultimate goal is officer safety and agency satisfaction. |

2,000,000 SHU's with effects lasting from 8 - 17 minutes (severe), and an ultraviolet dye marking your subject. There isn't much not to like about the Sabre Red line. We carry the MK-4 size stream, and have tried praying from the can while it was upside down and held at almost every angle with no issues or failures. This is some of the best defense spray on the market and would trust it everyday, all day.

Great OC. Since our wonderful department cannot afford to issue all of it's officers their own bottle of hot sauce, it stands up to the wear and tear of multiple officers everyday. Very reliable, doesn't separate like some OC mixtures, and very effective. We would all rather have tasers, but this is a close second place.

Governors rule in J&K put on hold? 14,000 have darshan at cave shrine
2 havala conduits arrested |
8 hurt as cops, students clash Taxis in J&K
to have fare meters VIPs continue to visit Rajiv Nagar
Governors rule in J&K put on hold? Jammu, July 24 There are no definite answers following conflicting signals emanating from Delhi and Srinagar. An element of confusion has crept in the political atmosphere and has people divided over the imposition of Central rule. The ruling National Conference (NC) is opposing any such move. Latest reports said the Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah, during had during his visit to Delhi persuaded Central leaders, especially the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr L.K. Advani, to defer the plan to improve Governors rule. Dr Farooq, according to sources conveyed to the leaders that the imposition of Governors rule might send wriong signals to the international community as this practice had not been adopted in Gujarat and three other states where the Assembly elections had been held. The sources said the Central Government had decided to link Governors rule to the willingness of separatists to take part in the elections. The APHC had made it clear that it would not participate in the poll process as it wanted talks to precede the elections as the elections were not an answer to the Kashmir issue. About three months ago, the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, had announced that Governors rule could ensure free and fair elections. However, the latest statement of the Union Minister of State for Home, Mr I.D. Swami had set at rest speculation about placing the state under Central rule at least for now. In an interview to a Jammu based newspaper, Mr Swami had said: I personally think it will not be a judicious decision to change the Governor of the state at this juncture. As far as imposing Governors rule just before the Assembly elections is concerned, I dont think it would make a difference. Political observers attach significance to Mr Swamis statement as he usually speaks language of Mr Advani. However, the Centre has not given up the idea of imposing Governors rule. It has only been delayed because the Centre prefers Dr Abdullah to recommend it. The National Conference leadership is encouraging leaders from the Congress and other parties to join NC. Mr Janak Raj Gupta, a former MP and MLA and Mr R.S. Sharma, a Congress member, have already joined the NC. Reports said it was also trying to woo three estranged BJP MLAs.The NC wants to field candidates who have some influence in different pockets of the Jammu region. Meanwhile, most of the separatists do not want to take part in the elections. They fear that they would be risking their life if they did so. In this scenario, the NC is at an advantage. |
14,000 have darshan at cave shrine Jammu, July 24
The batch comprising 3822 pilgrims, including 564 women and 283 sadhus, left in 274 vehicles even as thousands more remained stranded here as they had arrived earlier than their scheduled date for embarking on the yatra, official sources said. Reports from Srinagar said nearly 14,000 pilgrims have, so far had darshan at the cave shrine located at an altitude of 3880 metres in south Kashmir Himalayas. Sources said administration was having a difficult time making arrangements for those still in Jammu. J and K Chief Secretary I.S. Malhi said efforts were being made to accommodate up to 8,000 pilgrims at Nunwan and Pahalgam base camps, up from 6,000 at present. He said arrangements had already been made to accommodate 4,000 pilgrims each at Sheshnag and Panchtarni, 2,500 at Baltal, 1,500 at Manigam and 1,800 at Srinagar. In the wake of inclement weather, focus should be to lodge pilgrims at Panchtarni and Sheshnag so that they dont get trapped at Mahagunas or Pissu Ghati which are at high altitude, he said. The yatra was suspended on Sunday due to bad weather. A Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) spokesman said elaborate communication arrangements had been made on the yatra route.
2 havala conduits arrested
Srinagar, July 24 Abdul Jabbar Bhat, alias Moulvi, a resident of Zampakadal and Shoukat Ahmed Shah of New Colony, Lal Bazaar, were arrested by a joint party of the BSF and police last night, a spokesman of the border guards said here today. The spokesman said Moulvi Jabbar was instrumental in receiving illegal funds from across the border and had received Rs 20 lakh for distribution to TuM cadres. Shah is also involved in havala transactions and had received Rs 10 lakh through various channels in January for further distribution. Both were working under the cover of Moulvi in the Jamiat-e-ahl-e-Hadis office at Barbarshah in Srinagar. The spokesman said Shah, during a haj pilgrimage two years ago, had reportedly visited Pakistan from Saudia Arabia in a special aircraft arranged by the ISI. He claimed that the two were working as nodal agents for distribution of money to TuM. The Jamiat-e-ahl-e-Hadis, in a press note to the local media a week back, had claimed that BSF personnel arrested two of its activists (Shah and Moulvi) and condemned their arrest. Todays claim of busting the havala channel is the third in the past two months.
8 hurt as cops, students clash Srinagar, July 24 Trouble began when the students of Degree College Anantnag, boycotted classes and took to the streets, denouncing the VHPs demand for amendments in the Muslim religious books. The students were joined by local residents. As they started marching towards the Deputy Commissioners office, the police asked them to disperse. The police resorted to lathicharge and fired teargas shells when the protesters allegedly started throwing stones at them. The clash left five policemen and three demonstrators injured. The police later fired several rounds in air to bring the situation under control. Normal life was disrupted in the town due to the clash. The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association has called for a general strike on Friday in support of its demand for a ban on the VHP, RSS and Bajrang Dal. A Muslim can bear anything but not blasphemous remarks against Islam, it said in a statement here which described the Sangh Parivar organisations as terrorist outfits.
Taxis in J&K
to have fare meters Srinagar, July 24 He said the main aim of the government was to discuss and address the problems and grievances of consumers and dealers. The minister said the government had already passed a Bill to establish forums at all district headquarters so that the consumers were not exploited. A massive consumer awareness campaign would be launched to make people aware of their rights and to initiate legal action against the traders indulging in unfair trade practices, he added.
VIPs continue to visit Rajiv Nagar Jammu, July 24 The Deputy Prime Minister, Mr L.K. Advani, Governor G.C. Saxena, Dr Farooq Abdullah, and Mr Omar Abdullah, Union Minister of State for External Affairs, besides Ms Sonia Gandhi and Union Minister of State for Defence, Prof Chaman Lal Gupta, have visited the colony. Recently, Mr Ashok Singhal, President of the VHP, paid a visit to the area and distributed compensation. Mr Shabir Ahmed Shah, President of the Democratic Freedom Party, and Maulana Syed Athar Hussain Delhvi, Chairman, Anjuman Minhaj-e-Rasool, during their visit to the labour colony today condemned the massacre. Maulana Delhvi said it was time for separatists to take part in the Assembly elections. Mr Shabir Ahmed Shah expressed grief over the carnage and said killing of innocent people was neither jehad nor had a place in Islam. He opposed the trifurcation of the state as demanded by the RSS and said the three regions needed to remain united. He said the elections would not settle the Kashmir issue. |

The Devil Horse Anybody who has flown into or out of Denver has to have seen the 32', 9000-lb sculpture at DIA titled "Blue Mustang" by late artist, Luis Jiménez. It is outside on a grass knoll near the terminal. People have mixed emotions about the art. Many love it, while others detest it. The work has garnered nicknames such as Devil Horse, DIAblo, Satan's Stallion and the Denver Demon Mustang. The statue's blue fiberglass color, flaring nostrils and brightly lit, red LED eyes certainly add to the drama.There is a disturbing true story attached to many of those names. The artist was killed in his studio when a piece of the statue fell on him as he was working to complete it. This has some people claiming the statue is possessed.Jiménez was a controversial artist, and if part of the purpose of art is to create dialogue and comment, then "Mustang" has certainly succeeded in that regard.At any rate, I thought Halloween was an ideal time for this photo and the story that goes along with it. The image is a composite of a recent full moon photo I took and an evening image of the statue from a few nights ago.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 11
Rated 3 out of 5 by Glenn Works in a pinch
The ladder has a 250 pound weight rating which severely over rated. I broke both the support legs first time out (yes it was used properly) and I weigh 180 pounds. It would be a much better ladder if the support legs were also aluminum with 4-8 inches more adjustment instead of plastic. It will work in a pinch or life and death situation but don't count on it holding up too long.

The best and sometimes only way to explore Bermuda's nooks and crannies—its little hidden coves and 18th-century tribe roads—is by bicycle or motor scooter. Arriving at the small shore roads and hill trails, however, means first navigating Bermuda's rather treacherous main roads. They are narrow, with no shoulders, and often congested with traffic (especially near Hamilton during rush hours). Fortunately, there's another, safer option for biking in Bermuda: the Railway Trail, a dedicated cycle path blissfully free of cars.
Despite the traffic, bicycle racing is a popular sport in Bermuda, and club groups regularly whir around the island on evening and weekend training rides. Be prepared for some tough climbs—the roads running north and south across the island are particularly steep and winding—and the wind can sap even the strongest rider's strength, especially along South Shore Road in Warwick and Southampton parishes. Island roads are no place for novice riders. Helmets are strongly recommended on pedal bikes (it's illegal to ride without them on a motor scooter), and parents should think twice before allowing preteens to bike here.
Information on local races or on how to meet up with fellow cyclists for regular group rides is available at www.bermudabicycle.org. The Winner's Edge bike shop on Front Street in Hamilton is also a good source of information about the local cycling scene.
Bike Paths
The Railway Trail. Running intermittently the length of the old Bermuda Railway (old "Rattle 'n' Shake"), this trail is scenic, and restricted to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. You can enter and exit the trail at several clearly-signposted points. One especially lovely route starts at Somerset Bridge and ends 2½ mi later near Mangrove Bay. You can take your bike onto the ferry for a pleasant ride from Hamilton or St. George's to the Somerset Bridge stop. From there, bike to the bridge on the main road, turn right, and ride uphill for about 50 yards until you reach the sign announcing "Railway Trail". Turning onto the trail, you find yourself along a course with spectacular views of the Great Sound. Along the way you pass old Fort Scaur, several schools, and the large pink Somerset Cricket Club. Toward the end of the trail segment, you'll find yourself on Beacon Hill Road opposite the bus depot. Here you can turn around and head back to Somerset Bridge, or, for refreshment, turn left and ride to the main road (you can see Somerset Police Station), and make a sharp right turn to find Mangrove Bay and several small pubs and shops nearby. Because the Railway Trail is somewhat isolated and not lighted, you should avoid it after dark.
South Shore Road. This main island road covers almost the full length of the Island and passes absolutely gorgeous ocean views. South Shore Road—also known as South Road—is well-paved and, for the most part, wider than Middle Road, North Shore Road, and Harbour Road, with relatively few hills. However, it's one of Bermuda's windiest and most heavily traveled thoroughfares. Highlights are through Warwick and Southampton, looking down on the popular South Shore beaches.
Tribe Road 3. Tribe roads are small, often unpaved side roads, some of which date to the earliest settlement of Bermuda. They make for good exploring, though many are quite short and lead to dead ends. Beginning at Oleander Cycles in Southampton, Tribe Road 3 steeply climbs the hillside just below Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, with views of the south shore below. It eventually leads to a point from where you can see both the north and south shores.
Bike Rentals
In Bermuda bicycles are called pedal or push bikes to distinguish them from the more common motorized two-wheelers, which are also called bikes. Some of the cycle liveries around the island rent both, so make sure to specify whether you want a pedal or motor bike. If you're sure you want to bicycle while you're in Bermuda, try to reserve rental bikes a few days in advance. Rates are around $30 a day, though the longer you rent, the more economical your daily rate. You may be charged an additional $15 for a repair waiver and for a refundable deposit.
Riding a motor scooter for the first time can be disconcerting, wherever you are. Here you have the added confusion that Bermudians drive on the left, and though the posted speed limit is 35 kph, the unofficial speed limit is actually closer to 50 kph (while many locals actually travel faster than that). At most rental shops, lessons on how to ride a motor scooter are perfunctory at best—practice as much as you can before going on to the main road. Though many tourists can and do rent motor scooters, the public transportation system (ferries and buses) is excellent and should not be ruled out.
Eve Cycle. With three convenient locations around the island, Eve's office in Dockyard is just a short walk from the cruise terminal– perfect if you're arriving by boat. If instead you're coming to Bermuda by plane, take advantage of their "Fly N Ride" service that enables visitors to hop on a scooter at the airport without worrying about luggage (it's sent directly to the hotel). This cycle shop also rents out adult mountain bikes, as well as motor scooters, including your mandatory helmet. The staff readily supplies advice on where to ride and detailed maps of the island. Be prepared to pay an extra $20 for mandatory third-party insurance. Other branches are in St. George's and Paget, and if these are a bit of a walk from your accommodation, a shuttle service is offered. 10 Dockyard Terr., Dockyard, MA01. 441/236–6247. www.evecycles.com. 1 Water St., St. George's, GE05. 441/236–0839.
114 Middle Rd., near S. Shore Rd., Paget Parish, PG06. 441/236–6247.
Oleander Cycles. Known primarily for its selection of motorbikes and scooters for rent and sale. Single and double bikes are available and a $30 damage waiver is charged. Oleander Cycles' main store is in Paget, but it's Southampton location is convenient for Pompano Beach Resort guests since it's right next door to the resort There are also small branches at the St. George's Club, The Reefs, and Cambridge Beaches. 6 Valley Rd., off Middle Rd., Paget Parish, PG05. 441/236-5235. 8 Middle Rd., west of fire station, Southampton Parish, SB03. 441/234-0629. Maritime La., Dockyard, MA01. 441/234-2764. 26 York St., St. George's, GE05. 441/297-0478.
Smatt's Cycle Livery. Smatt's offers standard moped rentals with helmets. Their daily rate is $50 for a single-seater, plus the $30 damage waiver fee. Before a moped is rented, you'll be asked to take a riding test for your safety. They have two additional locations, one in the west end at the Fairmont Southampton Resort, and one at the Rosewood Tucker's Point Hotel & Spa. If you are arriving into Dockyard by cruise boat, the closest shop is the Hamilton branch (accessible via a 20 minute ferry ride). There are also a limited number of bicycles available for rent from the Hamilton and Southampton locations. Fairmont Hamilton Princess, 74 Pitts Bay Rd., Hamilton, HM06. 441/295–1180.
Bike Tours
Fantasea Bermuda. This comprehensive recreational company offers an assortment of memorable excursions. The bike tour along the Railway Trail begins in Dockyard with a short boat cruise to the trail, where you will pick up your 21-speed mountain bike. After the leisurely 1½- hour ride, finish with a cool-off swim and a drink at a beach in the Somerset area. The trip is about 3½ hours, including the cruise and biking. It costs $75 per person and includes equipment and drinks. There is a $5 administration fee per reservation. 5 Point Pleasant Rd., Albuoy's Point, Hamilton, HM11. 441/236–1300. www.fantasea.bm.

4. "I Won't Send Roses" from Mack & Mabel
If Jerry Herman's songs are often uncomplicated — unsophisticated, even — what takes them over the line into being powerful and gripping is how moving basic human emotions can be when expressed in such a straightforward manner. There's barely even a metaphor here. Mack is literally telling Mabel he won't send roses. But therein lies Herman's genius. We feel Mabel's ache. And like so many great Jerry Herman songs, you can stick in this song on your album, in your cabaret act or sing it to your lover — these feelings are universal. Of course, it would be better if you did send roses…

I was really impressed with impressed with how the winner took one of the most boring dances in game came up with an entertaining interpretation of it.
I haven't been to a Blizzcon yet, but I have seen video footage of the dance contest before, and I have never seen anyone do the female undead dance before - probably because it is so boring. So big congrats to this gal.

I take longer to pee than most women. I know this because without exception, when I enter a stall at the same time as someone, she is coming out first.
I assume this is because most women walk into the stall, squat in the position that they've been honing since middle school, pee, wipe and leave.

Project Spurs:
The San Antonio Spurs' game against the Grizzlies on Saturday was a matchup of two of the top teams in the Western Conference. I do believe in the old saying that you don't win championships in December, but this was a big game.
Winning a hard fought battle in overtime, especially after being down by 13 going into the fourth quarter is going to give the Spurs a lot of confidence going forward.
Tony Parker led the team in scoring with 30 points, including eight in overtime and was a big part of the Spurs' win.
Not to be outdone was the ageless wonder, Tim Duncan. Duncan finished the game with 27 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block. He filled up the stat sheet and showed why he's still one of the league's elite power forwards, capable of being the big guy the Spurs can rely on.
After the game, Coach Gregg Popovich was clearly impressed with the performance, but says it's just the norm for Timmy D.

Using The Political Correctness Model, Colleges Train Students For Oppression
If it sounds as though privacy advocates who disagree with the implementation of tracking systems on campuses throughout the Nation are making mountains out of mole hills, consider the trajectory of the political correctness movement.
What Do You Think About Rand Paul's Calculated Political Compromises?
No one can be elected President of the United States without compromising his ideals at various points along the pathway leading to the White House. How much compromise will conservatives tolerate?
Constitution Absent From Barack Obama's State Of The Union
If President Barack Obama is successful in accomplishing all that he set forth in last night's State of the Union address, he will have transformed the Presidency, almost beyond recognition, from the proper and limited role our Nation's Founders codified in the document that describes his job: the U.S. Constitution.
2014: The Year Obama And The Democrats Pay For Mistakes?
From the revelations of National Security Agency spying to the government shutdown, the first year of President Barack Obama's second term brought endless political quarreling and scandal and illustrated the massive disconnect between Washington and Main Street. In 2014, the Administration could be forced to reap what it has sewn.
This Time, Conservatives Should Side With Alec Baldwin
MSNBC fired Alec Baldwin for an off-set incident. Many conservatives called for Baldwin's ouster. In doing so, unfortunately, they allowed their dislike of Baldwin's leftist positions to blind them to the fact that they were making bedfellows with the militant gay community and political correctness police.
In United States v Bond, The Supreme Court Could Be Ruling On The Safety Of All American Rights
Attorneys at the Justice Department are currently working to advance a Supreme Court argument that the Federal government should be allowed to invoke international treaties as legal basis for policies that government officials are unable to put into place because they conflict with the Nation's Constitution.
Welcome To Obama's Syrian Twilight Zone: Gun Control To Prevent Terror Versus Arming Terrorists To Prevent Chemical Weapons
The Administration of Barack Obama is so dedicated to the idea of getting involved in Syria's civil war, despite domestic and international objection to the U.S. meddling in the conflict, that it is willing not only to waive provisions of Federal law prohibiting the arming of terrorists but also to put its hypocrisy on full display.
Faces Of Congressional Support For Syria War: The Out Of Touch, The Super Liberal, The RINO, The Elderly, The Chicken-Hawk And A Cry Baby
U.S. involvement in the ongoing Syrian civil war is likely, judging by the near-constant war-drum rhetoric from U.S. political elite.
Sexual Jihad And Spreading Crabs In The Name Of Muhammad
In Islamic law, fatwa is a legal opinion or decree handed down by an Islamic religious leader known as mufti. While the dictates issued in a particular fatwa are not necessarily binding, extremists have been known to act on the orders, often with devastating results. Some, like combining sex jihad and Muhammad's lice, are a little more self-defeating.
The NSA And The Government's Public Relations 'Journalist'
On Sunday, CBS moderator Bob Schieffer invited former NSA head retired Gen. Michael Hayden to appear on "Face the Nation" to discuss privacy and government spying. Schieffer's choice should be both revealing and infuriating to any American who rejects the notion that government has the right to violate citizen privacy.

MLB Injury News:
New York Mets' Daniel Murphy has been sidelined due to a strained intercostal muscle, but manager Terry Collins told reporters,
including Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, that the second baseman is roughly seven
to 10 days aware from getting back into a spring training lineup.
"Certainly we're looking forward to getting him out
here pretty soon and starting the process of the dry swings, followed by the
tee, followed by the soft toss," Collins said. "The issue with Murph
is to pull him back a little bit, because when he starts swinging, he can swing
a 1,000 times before you know it."
Collins added that Murphy should begin swinging a bat in the
next couple of days. The second baseman received a cortisone shot on Feb. 19
after injuring his side.
Murphy hit .291/.332/.403 with 40 doubles, three triples and
six home runs over 612 plate appearances last season for the Mets. The
27-year-old owns a career batting line of .292/.339/.427 over parts of four
seasons in the majors.

Exciting Searing Happenings
Thursday, August 29th, 2013Quick Updates
Saturday, April 7th, 2012With Spring blossoming all over maybe I can cultivate some blog growth as well. It sorely needs some refreshing! To that end, a couple of quick items. Cole Searing, a young race car driver living in Huron, SD, and operating Cole Searing Motorsports, is again selling Searing Racing T-shirts this year for $25.00 plus postage. He can be contacted on Facebook or drop me an email and I will try to put you in contact with him. And, my Searing genealogical expert, Laura Davenport, has launched a blog of her own, Dead-Lines. The link is in the Blog Roll on the main page. It's well worth checking out!
And, WOW, I just have to add that a quick check of Linked-In shows 249 Searing entries!! Amazing! I will try to do a separate Linked In entry soon summarizing some of the search results….
Searing Census of Name Variations in the 50 States
Monday, July 18th, 2011I have created a spreadsheet in Google Docs listing the states in alphabetical order down the left hand column, and Searing name and variations at the top of the columns to the right. The name and viariations are: Searing, Serring, Sering, Seiring, Syring, Siring, Sehring. I will be happy to add any reasonable variations suggested.When done this should give us an approximation of the numbers of the "Searing" name and variations in all the states. Of course the information available is only from public records available on the internet through the common 'people' search engines. I make no claim as to their accuracy or reliability.Since this is in Google Docs, I am happy to give you access to this spreadsheet if you want to help with the survey. Just send me a note thru the blog or on FB (Daniel A. Searing) and I will reply by message. Let's see how this works! Could easily be expanded to other research projects.Any and all suggestions welcome! Special thanks to Scott Searing from FB for this idea! He has also contributed to this blog. Also check out the My Name is Searing on Facebook. Dan
A Surprise "Cuz" Meeting
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011A delightful surprise 'cuz' meeting Monday..Mrs. S & I picked up new glasses in Southern Md, visited a consignment shop nearby a friend had told us about, paid for a purchase and owner asked, 'is your name Searing?' Yes. "Our assistant manager is a Searing"….and introduced us to Beth Searing Rodgers! What a surprise to both of us, as our name (as you know) is not that common. We had a great chat, identified some mutual FB friends and agreed to keep in touch. She's on FB. Go friend her….:) The shop is Cherry Pickers Consignment in Owings, MD. If you are in that area, please check it out. We like to support Searing businesses or ones with Searing involvement…… They also have an FB page if you are interested.
May Musings
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011May was a good month for Searings on the internet. First, Facebook 'opened up' the My Name is Searing group, by, I think, showing posts made to the group on member's pages, and I suppose email if you have so chosen. This has increased participation in the group. we now really have Searing's talking to Searings…instead of just posting the occasional comment. I hope we can keep up the momentum! Second, a lot of Searings have accomplished interesting things, from coaching to playing to announcing in sports, authoring and publishing a book, and listing some interesting 'stuff' on eBay. I will try to do a listing hitting the high points in the next day or two. If you review the list and see something missing, please let me know.

April News
Saturday, April 30th, 2011
A quick summary entry for April! Been collecting stuff for the blog, but lazy about doing an entry. So here goes the summary: Adam Searing of the Progressive Pulse in NC has made several posts this month on health care issues in NC. They are all great reads, applicable to many, if not all of the other states facing the same issues with the new health care plan. Gary Searing was mentioned in ConnecticutPlus.com, in a feature on fund raising for the MS Society. Gary is also on Facebook. Dennis Searing surfaced again in AZBilliards Forum, with some photographs of some of his extraordinary cues. And, a great story on Bill Searing of Brazil, IN, making a wonderful comeback from open heart surgery. I would like to do a feature on him next month. Nothing of import has been showing up on eBay with Searing attached. No paintings, no planes….come on folks, we need some more Searing stuff! In addition, through Legacy.com, I started a search using ObitMessenger for the name Searing and several variations. This is a no cost service of Legacy that searches for obits of the names you specify. After an initial rush of names, none have shown up. This is a great service tho, for family obit name searches. And, I continue to post on Twitter as dansearingSr, so please follow me. I RT most entries by other Searings, and use the hashtag #searing, so you should be able to search on that for updates. I have met several great Searing family members through Twitter…although I will have to admit, lots younger than me. :) Its still a fascinating and evolving service. And, so is Facebook…I continue to meet and friend fascinating Searings. Come visit me and the My Name is Searing Group…we need you! And I'm always looking for tips on Searing folks and Searing stories for the blog….send me a story link! And speaking of links..I have links to all the above, but I am sure they can also be found through search engines. If not, send me a comment or an email and I will provide you with the link.
Searing, North Dakota
Saturday, March 19th, 2011Every now and then our name pops up in unusual places. Recently a listing appeared on eBay for a Last Day Cover, "Searing ND) (in a group of other such covers, with other place names). I had never heard of this place before, although I had a couple of great aunts settle in the Dakotas. Searched around a bit and found the following, courtesy of Roots Web data: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ndmckenz/S.html
This was a farm post office established July 25, 1916 with Thomas C. Taylor pm. It was located in NW 1/4 Sec.10-147-103, Thirty-three miles SW of Watford City, and named for the site owner, Julius Searing Taylor, aftter Taylor had been rejected because of duplication in Stark County. The post office closed March 15, 1921 with mail to Alexander. It reopened February 7, 1922 in SE 1/4 Sec. 28-147-103, and seven miles SSE of the original site as Searing, but only after a name change to Dean had been rejected. In 1928 it moved one mile NW to SE 1/4 Sec. 28-147-103, and operated until pm Annie Kemna closed the facility September 30, 1952 with mail to Sidney, MT. A population of 3 was reported in 1940.
So now I'm really curious. Anyone heard of this before? Know who this Searing or Searing family is? Looks like a nice little research project.

February Updates
Monday, February 28th, 2011Time for a few last minute updates to squeeze into Feb. First is an article by Daniel Searing, MD (not me, ha). I would like to feature him in Notable Searings if I can find sufficient information. Here is a link to at least a summary of his article: http://bit.ly/fUOsl6. Don't forget to check #searing on Twitter if you are so minded. I have tried to tag Searing contributions and retweet them with the hashtag as I find them and as appropriateWatch for an entry on the Searing Quartet, which I am still working on. Although not a 'family' business they were very open and friendly and in 'all things Searing' they deserve a mention. Also, please check out the group My Name is Searing on Facebook and leave a mention! Also, I take any and all suggestions and ideas!

The struggling economy is still squeezing court system budgets across the country, and scaling back operations won't fix the growing gap between reduced court services and growing public demand for court access. So state courts are turning to other solutions, according to a gathering of state chief justices, court administrators and legislators in Washington D.C. Thursday (November 15).
"We cannot manage our way out of the crisis," Myron T. Steele, chief justice of Delaware, said at a press conference. "Layoffs, furloughs, reduced operating hours, and in Delaware, even voluntary reductions in judicial salaries, are not going to fill the widening economic gap."
Instead, the group said, state courts are embracing technology as a way to deliver more services at lower costs. And they're also advocating for themselves by building relationships with legislatures and the public.
For instance, the Utah state court system is now entirely paperless in civil trials. The courts also started accepting payments electronically, reducing the number of payment clerks and dependence on data entry. Even warrants are now electronic—judges can accept or decline them by computer.
To get the legislature on board, State Court Administrator Daniel Becker evaluated court spending and presented his findings to the House appropriations committee, which impressed the appropriations chairman, state Representative Eric Hutchings.
"Most state agency directors are liars when they're sitting in front of the committee and talking about the budget," Hutchings said at the news conference. But with Becker, Hutchings said, "it wasn't just, 'give us the money and don't ever talk to us again.'"
The courts continued to collect data on what changes they were making and their outcomes. That convinced the committee to continue supporting the courts, Hutchings said. "When you have that kind of data in front of people," he said, "even your critics have a hard time arguing with the data."
Beyond building trust in the legislature, courts are also advocating for themselves with the public. Earlier this year in California, hundreds of court employees, union members and political leaders rallied in Los Angeles and San Francisco to protest against more cuts to the state court system. The court's budget is now 30 percent smaller than it was in 2008 and the latest $544 million cut put all court construction projects on indefinite hold and forced hundreds of layoffs.
Over the next eight months, Los Angeles County will close 10 courthouses, including the Catalina Island court, said Pat Kelly, president of the State Bar of California, at the conference Thursday. That means that someone living on Catalina Island, which sits off the coast of California near Los Angeles, will have to take a three-hour boat ride to resolve a traffic ticket, Kelly explained.
"There is no amount of efficiency (that) will take us back from the $1.2 billion (budget) reduction, the 30 percent reduction, that California has seen," said California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye at the conference. But she is hopeful that their message will be heard.
"There is a turn in California with the passage of Proposition 30 (a voter-approved tax increase)…which will alleviate some of the budget crisis in California," she said. "It's dire now…but we will be working with the governor to explain our need and relying heavily on advocacy in the legislature," to maintain a functioning court system in California, Cantil-Sakauye said.
