No Star Carries DC to Cup Quarters |
Sevens - Club Sevens | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
On paper, the San Diego Surfers had Pool D of the Women's Club 7s National Championship won. With names like Emilie Bydwell, Val Griffeth, Ryan Carlyle and Katie Lorenz – all of whom have USA 7s experience – the Surfers boasted a lineup that could take them deep into the playoffs. And they might still, but not as the top seed out of the pool. It was the DC Furies who went undefeated through day one, and topped off their pool play performance with a 10-7 win over the Surfers. Heading into the last round, both teams were 2-0, as Berkeley 2 and Middlesex Falcons posed little problem. DC got on the board in the third minute, when Julie Hogan came down with the lineout throw and slipped past the opposition lifters through to the try zone. San Diego answered the score minutes later, when Katie Lorenz took a beautiful offload from Ryan Carlyle fighting her way to the ground, then outraced Hogan in pursuit for the try, which Griffeth converted, 7-5. From the subsequent kickoff, DC's Brenna Costello raced down the sideline, then kicked ahead and gathered the ball before eventually being dragged down. As the defense reset, Costello a long skip pass to Liz Hirschhorn on the wing for the easy try, 10-7. In the second half, DC's Eli White added a five-pointer, after one of San Diego's many penalties allowed the scrumhalf to quick-tap from a halted scrum and squeeze between slow-reacting defenders. Costello hit a great conversion for the 17-7 final. "This game was a gauge of how well we're playing and clicking together in this tournament," DC coach Sue Parker said. "We still have some areas to improve. Our timing in terms of our play around the contact area needs to improve a little bit and we can make those adjustments. But even more so, this game tell us that against a really excellent team with really excellent players, we're going to maintain our composure, execute our own gamplan and give ourselves a chance to win." Parker attributed the win to the players' dedication to teamwork. "We don't have any superstars compared to some of the other teams in the top of the other pools," Parker explained. "The thing that drives this team is how great it feels when they're playing together as a team, when they're well connected on defense, when they pass, support, run and make those linebreaks. That's what we focus on, and you saw that in the game. The tries were all scored by different people. There isn't a single person carrying this team on their shoulders and that keeps every person in the groove." That said, Parker described captain Jess Shipley as the team's glue. "She's so great," Parker commended. "She has a classic, understated personality but she has an instinctive feel for the game and what her teammates need at a given time." Looking ahead to the Cup Quarterfinals, DC will be looking for some revenge as they take on NOVA 1. The two have met twice over the summer 7s season, and NOVA 1 has been victorious on both occasions. San Diego will see Berkeley in the round of eight. As for the Bowl competitors, the Falcons will see Belmont Shore and Berkeley 2 takes on Morris.

Congressional Cemetery TweetupNovember 10, 2013
This tweetup will be held in partnership with Historic Congressional Cemetery and will provide an opportunity to learn about John Gadsby and his final resting place at Congressional Cemetery. John Gadsby's impact on hospitality goes beyond Alexandria, VA and is embodied in his large, stately vault. At Congressional Cemetery, participants will hear about its history, its preservation story, its beauty, and then learn how to safely clean historic headstones. After a short tutorial, participants will be able to try out their newfound skills. Although held in a cemetery, this event will be sensitive to the nature of its surroundings.
Ice Well TweetupJuly 1, 2012
This tweetup was an opportunity to raise awareness of the Museum's 18th century refrigerator -- the historic Ice Well -- currently under restoration. This Ice Well played an important role in Alexandria's hospitality industry and helped attract the likes of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson through its doors. At the Tweetup, participants learned more about this hospitality history of Gadsby's Tavern Museum and climbed down into Ice Well itself for special refreshments! The event took place at Gadsby's Tavern in Old Town.
Salon Tweetup with President James Madison Jan. 29, 2012
The City's first-ever tweetup provided a unique opportunity to learn about our nation's history through the eyes of our fourth President. This in-depth access to James Madison helped illuminate his presidency and ultimately how his decisions impacted the movement toward the War of 1812. The event took place at Gadsby's Tavern in Old Town, and included a session with Mayor Euille and other City officials to discuss the City's use of social media.
A tweetup is an in-person meeting of people who use Twitter to engage with a particular organization or about a particular topic. Some tweetups are hosted by companies, government agencies, or non-profit groups, and others are simply organized by people interested in the same subject. Tweetups may be informal get-togethers with no program or agenda, or they may provide tweetup participants with access to special speakers, tours, or other events. And of course, tweetups involve a lot of tweeting before, during, and after the event!
An Alexandria Tweetup is a tweetup hosted in whole or in part by the City of Alexandria. As a government agency, the City's goals for hosting tweetups are to educate participants about City services and issues; receive feedback on topics of concern to the community; and broaden the reach of City communications.
Details about upcoming tweetups will be linked from this page, above. Each tweetup will have a registration form that is available during a limited registration period. After registration closes, participants will be chosen and everyone who registered will be promptly notified. Registering multiple times will not improve your chances of being selected.
To participate in an Alexandria Tweetup, you should be an active user of Twitter who follows @AlexandriaVaGov and is interested in the subject of the tweetup. Certain tweetups may broaden this requirement to permit other social media services, as well. You may be expected to follow additional Twitter accounts related to the tweetup. Any other requirements will be noted for a particular tweetup.
Registration for an Alexandria Tweetup indicates that if you are selected to participate, you intend to travel to the site of the tweetup, attend the entire event in person, and follow all event rules. You are responsible for all costs related to your travel, accommodations, meals, and other expenses, unless an exception is noted for a particular tweetup.

If as QB's coach, I totally understand. If it's as OC, the verdict isstill out. You do have to consder that the talent at FL St will be considerably higher than at UK, so the offense he ran is likely to be more succesful. One of my biggest beefs with Joker's regime was that we stubbornly called the same plays over and over again, despite not having the personel to execute them. The personel to execute will be at FL St, so it could be a good match.

Good value for the room but there is a night club next door playing loud music until 1 AM. The hotel is only 2 minute walk from the train station and centrally located in the heart of Izmir.

Ill stay here again!! Excellent hostel. Perfect location next to the major sights. Staffs extreemly friendly and couldnt be more helpful. Beds are comfortable with personal light and power socket. Rooms are spacious with great shower facilities. Also easy for solo travellers to meet people in bar. Cheers to Bahre and Toni for the fun. Particularly to Bahre for the hilarious pub crawl and his aweful poker skills.

This hotel has the perfect location right across from the bus / train station, staff were very helpful and the room was clean. Breakfast was amazing and the guy who serves it is lovely. However I don't think value for money was quite right and the showers were dead cold for the entire 3 days we were there - not much fun! Overall an expensive but okay stay.

May 5, 2009
West Covina, Calif.-based Foothill Transit awarded a $5.8 million contract to Proterra LLC for the procurement of three battery-powered electric buses and wayside fast charging equipment for their Electric Bus Demonstration Project.
The buses, which will feature futuristic styling and a composite construction design, will be powered by an electric drive that doesn't depend on an Auxiliary Power Unit or onboard range extension equipment and have a 30-milie minimum range without charging.
Located at the beginning and end of the test route, the docking stations for the electric buses can deliver a 95 percent recharge in less than 10 minutes and will require no intervention or hands-on labor from the bus operator.
The project will be funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and will be deployed in early 2010 along Foothill Transit's Line 291.
Both Foothill Transit and Proterra will be monitoring the technology's ability to handle the demands of a regular, stop-and-go transit route over the two-year trial period.

Playing with Your Pet Bunny
Authors: P.A. Smith and Abi Cushman
P.A. Smith and Abi Cushman are the proud owners of two mischievous agouti rabbits named Coco and Cosette. They also co-edit the fun wildlife website called Animal Fact Guide.
Whether it's bowling or fetch, bunnies love to play. As your rabbit's unique personality unfolds, you'll come to find out what kinds of games your rabbit likes best.
Rabbits enjoy games that play into their natural tendencies. A game of bunny bowling will appeal to their mischievous side, as they delight in knocking things over. Set up toy bowling pins and watch as your rabbit nose-bonks them all down.
On a similar note, rabbits love to steal important papers (or apples you're eating) out of your hand and run away with them, most likely binkying along the way. Admittedly, this is not exactly a game... or at least not one in which you're a willing participant. But your bunny will certainly be amused.
You can also play a game of "fetch" with your bunny... except you're the retriever and your rabbit is the one doing the throwing. Some bunnies like picking up toys with their teeth and tossing them with a flick of their head. Toys for birds are great for this activity because they can easily grip them. You can also go a less expensive route and provide cardboard tubes from paper towel or toilet paper rolls. Stuff those tubes with hay to spike their interest further.
When you are away from home, your bunny still needs to play, so it is a good idea to have a selection of toys available. One bunny favorite is a cardboard castle. (See our article on Building a Cardboard Castle for your Bunny.) Rabbits love to dash in and out of the doorways and make renovations by chewing on the walls and scratching at the floors.
For diggers and burrowers, provide straw mats, boxes full of paper shreds, and cardboard tunnels. For more information, see Enrichment for Your Pet Bunny and How to Deal with Chewing & Digging.
Other toys can include untreated wood products, hard plastic baby toys, plastic balls with bells inside, pine cones, oatmeal boxes, and phone books. A note of caution: some types of wood can be poisonous for rabbits, such as cherry, redwood and peach.
There are many benefits to playtime with your pet bunny. Not only does it help build a bond between you and your pet, it also provides your rabbit with much needed mental stimulation and exercise.

Apple Time Capsule refresh to coincide with Lion?
Supply of Apple's Time Capsule hardware is reportedly becoming scarce in the days ahead of the company's Worldwide Developers Conference, a sign that a new version of the product could be just around the corner.
Time Capsule, which was released at the beginning of 2008, combines a wireless router with a hard drive, giving users a way to store files on the device. It's also tied to Apple's built-in Time Machine backup software, which made its debut as a part of Leopard. That software is able to tap into the Time Capsule to wirelessly store backups … Read more

Blinx: The Time Sweeper (Xbox)
| UK Release date:
8th November 2002
Games Xtreme Review
Reader Reviews
Review By: WoLf | Posted: 20/11/2002
The Final Word
Blinx is a good platformer with a few nice twists and turns, not an astounding game. But well worth it if you like this kind of game.
Blinx � The Timesweeper marks the Xbox�s odd foray into the heady world of platformers claimed by titles like Mario and Ratchet and Clank. Microsoft development studios has taken a long hard look at the world of the platform game and hit on a combination of cute graphics and engaging gameplay. I�m not the world�s greatest platform fan and I can�t stand the shoes � but this game kept us enthralled for a good while, we actually found ourselves enjoying it and rooting for the main character Blinx as he bounced around the myriad of strangely designed levels.
The game is seriously fun to play and has a very light learning curve, it won�t take a serious gamer too long to master the controls and to learn the nuances of how the game works. But a complete novice will quickly pick up the basics and be able to progress beyond the initial stages without too much trouble. The story takes place in a totally whacked out world, where a bunch of strange cat-type people oversee the time stream, they make sure nothing bad happens. Of course, something bad happens and a gang of sorts start turning people into time crystals, causing a dangerous situation for the world and all operatives are evacuated.
But the bad guys also capture the princess of that world, and with the crystals turning into monsters it�s up to Blinx to rush blindly into the time gate and travel to save the woman he has the hots for, cleaning up the mess on the way - once and for all. Blinx himself is armed with a strange weapon that looks a little like a pocket watch that he keeps on his back � this Timesweeper is your key tool in dealing with the evils of the game. With a pull of the right trigger, you can suck in trash and store it; some of this stuff is worth a good amount of gold. Of course, if you tap the right trigger you fire the object you have stored at the enemy you�re facing. Some enemies take more than one lump of trash to dispose of.
But that�s not where the game gets interesting; Blinx introduces the factor of time into the mix. Collect certain combinations of time crystals and you can gain something called a time control. You can carry only 3 of these events at the start of the game, but later on you can buy more control slots at the stage shop. The manual comes with a list of the crystal combos so you�re not left experimenting and wasting valuable resources. Back to the combos, for instance, collect 3 crescent moons and any other crystal and you get a pause. If you collect 4 of them, you get twice the amount. Easy huh? With the controls, you hit B, choose the one you want and then let it go.
Pause, rewind, fast forward are a few of the controls in the game and they can be used to access areas that you could not normally get to. For instance, hit rewind and that bridge that you saw collapse will reform for a short amount of time allowing you to safely cross � usually finding a secret or getting a pile of hidden time crystals. Especially useful are the handy dandy Retry hearts that allow you to rewind to the point before you died, giving you an edge on knowing what�s coming next. Fans of the Matrix are sure to love this game�s wicked take on time controls. Find a boss fight too hard, well just slow him down, or even use pause � you still move at normal speed and can lay the smack down while he has to remain in frozen time. Neo eat your heart out mate!
This all adds up to a more tactical game, since you can stock up with the controls you know you should be able to use. And I�ll warn you now, some bosses can only be taken down if you use the right control. Record will allow you to sample a small moment in time and play it back, while you actually sneak behind a boss and shoot him in the back. It�s tricks like this that really do rock. With a good number of levels and the ability to go back to previously played levels and stages, this game has it all for the gameplay � you can collect more gold, and certain monsters guard more valuable items � do you want to use it as a weapon or do you want to escape the level carrying it? If you do you�ll end up exchanging it for more gold. This allows you to buy retries, bombs, and new Sweepers � which have even more suction power. Some heavy weights block early levels and I guess behind them are even more elusive secrets to unlock.
There are cat medals to find in most of the levels, some require the use of the rewind time control and if you get them all, you�ll unlock a cool feature or bonus item.
Now to talk about the sound, before I talk more about the graphics of the game in detail � all Sonics in Blinx are top notch, and the whole game really does have some boppy tunes while you play. The central character himself has some humorous noises as he bounds around the levels, with no regard for his own safety. Spot effects are excellent and you can often use the audio of the monsters �boing� as a good locator for where they are. There�s not much more I can say about the sound, apart from the odd language they speak in the cutscenes � which adds more to the game than it takes away from it.
Now, graphically, Blinx is one of those shiny games that really appeal to both young and old gamers. Kids are going to love the big colourful characters and the attention to detail in the levels themselves is great. The water effects are gorgeous and the textures and lighting truly showcase the game�s engine to a great degree. It flashes by at a fair lick of pace and we encountered no frame rate drops at all. The sfx that kick in when you use a time control are great, the screen blurs, changes colour and you know that something�s going on. It only lasts a short while though before a timer returns you to the real time.
The level of animation in the game is consistent with a good platformer and if you look closely at Blinx�s Sweeper you�ll see the small clock face on it, complete with rotating hands. There�s a lot to explore in this game, and with the use of the various time controls it�s going to take a while to find out all the secrets � I like it because it offers a new innovation and a strategic element to a platformer that�s not often seen in other games of this type. A refreshing change and definitely a welcome one, the road�s clear ahead for the Timesweeper and I�ll be watching to see how many other games attempt to implement this kind of trick, or something similar.

2014 Tour De Donut is set for September 6, 2014!
Join us for the first Double D(onut) Challenge, 64 miles and 4 donut stops OVER 1600 RIDERS FROM 20 STATES AND 5 COUNTRIES TOOK PART IN THIS YEARS RIDE The Tour de Donut is a unique bicycle event, where your ability to eat donuts is just as important as your ability to ride your bicycle fast. The event is a mass start timed bicycle "race" where riders visit 4 "donut stops" during the 64 mile course, 2 stops for the 32 mile course and one stop for the 15 mile mini and eat donuts. For each donut the rider eats during the ride (and keeps down) they have 5 minutes deducted from their ride time. There are prizes in several classes including the coveted golden Tour de Donut championship belt for the best adjusted "donut time". We also award the most donuts eaten in several classes, and for the speed freaks we also award the fastest bike only time. This ride is intended to be fun and include all cyclists pro to amateur, triathletes, tourist, fitness riders, fun riders, or you can dust off that two wheeler you found along side the road, or in the back of the barn you are not going to want to miss this event. While the event is technically a "race" very few consider it a serious competition, remember this is all in fun! We doubt the next Tour de France champion will have Tour de Donut Champion listed on his palmares, so eat some donuts and ride as fast or slow as you wish. All roads are open to traffic, and and all traffic rules must be followed. Roads are marked with large custom donut markings ( in several colors and some have sprinkles) so you do not get lost. Tour De Donut from Dylan Damian There are several strategies to attempt to win, what is yours? Are you a fast enough cyclist and eater to go into negative time? WHAT THE RIDERS ARE SAYING -The most fun I have ever had on a bicycle-Bob R -I Left there with my belly fully and a big smile-Kevin H -Kudos to the group that puts on this event, amazing job of organizing- The Johns Family -You people are evil! When can I sign up for next year?-Brian H -Everyone must do this ride! Josh B -The best ride ever! Chris T -The biggest donuts and the flattest roads I have ever seen. Jim R -I did not understand the appeal of eating donuts and riding until I did the ride-see you next year!-Christa F Amazing event! Bill J

New male record Dean McCombs Harrod Ohio (26) THE DOZEN CLUB The following people have become special members of a select club. All of the following enshrined members have eaten (and kept down) at least 12 donuts on the ride The Dozen club is a special achievement. We will not tell anyone the year of your achievement incase your cardiologist or your insurance company is watching.
The Tour de Donut concept was not started by us. The original is in
Illinois and has been going on for 20+years. After some of our club riders
attended The Donut Derby in Pennsylvania the idea was hatched to have a Tour
de Donut Ohio in 2007.
2007- 106 riders met at the Darke County Fairgrounds for our first edition. We used a very hilly course in Southwestern Darke county that had many riders wondering where the hills came from. A good time was had by all and the ride was an immediate success. Donuts were from local independent grocery store Eikenberry's Super Value. The weather was cool and wet. We used a stopwatch and paper to calculate the winners. At the time of the final results a tie was discovered and a challenge was issued to eat the 18th donut for both riders- they both did and were properly rewarded. 2008- 279 riders met at the new home of the ride Brumbaugh Fruit Farm and had donuts by The Farmers Daughter bakery. This is the first year we visited the popular Bears Mill and was the first year for electronic chip timing. Professional eater Steven Meike from Chicago Illinois came down, and despite a crash his method of dunking donuts in water allowed him to set a new donut eating record of 25. Bicycling magazine had an article about the ride in their June issue. 2009- over 500 riders registered for the ride and experienced another great fall day. We used our full finish line set up and bike mounted electronic timing for the first time. This was the first year for the championship belts, and riders enjoyed live music after the ride. 2010-over 600 riders registered for the ride on yet another picture perfect fall day. New custom road markings of donuts with colored icing (and sprinkles) led the riders around the course. Packet pick up available prior to the ride was very popular and will be continued. A large group of new male Dozen Club members and a new female donut record of 11 donuts. 250 dozen donuts were prepared for the ride and loaded into the box truck with a forklift! Custom recycled bicycle chain medals created by Christina Bowersock were very popular. Pre-ride prayer was given by Rev. Bob Bitner and our National Anthem was sang by Brooklyn Netzley. Riders at the back of starting lineup were held up by a new addition at the farm a couple of turkeys. 2011- 920 riders from 17 states and Canada signed up for the 5th annual tour and were welcomed with a foggy yet sunny morning. 350 dozen donuts awaited as dense fog and a car crash that was diverting traffic onto the course pushed back the start 30 minutes.Registration pick up was slowed by a lengthy form from our insurance company. The Arcanum High School band played our national anthem prior to the start. Despite a contingent of Canadians no one could remember the words past "Oh Canada" to the Canadian National Anthem.A film crew from Southern Illinois University had an in race reporter and created a hilarious documentary. The Bears Mill stop moved across the street to the open field for safety and they delivered the restrooms! We temporarily ran out of donuts at stop #1 as a supply truck stopped to pick up a rider who had crashed.The new location of the Pitsburg stop was well received (and not missed).The first year mini donut ride had over 100 riders who visited the Pitsburg stop for their one donut stop. New 15' tall DONUT signs welcomed the riders to the donut stops.The awards ceremony was legendary with celebratory champagne from custom imprinted bottlesA special thanks to The Arcanum High School marching band for helping at the donut stops. 2012- 1354 riders registered for the 6th version of the Tour de Donut. Major changes took place when we moved downtown Arcanum, offered sleeping bag space and camping, a post event street fair and food vendors and a new donut supplier. The Village of Arcanum and The Arcanum Business Association welcomed us with open arms after ten months of planning. A major rain event packing winds, lightning and five inches of rain limited camping though by opening ceremonies the sun was out and roads were drying. We had 600 dozen donuts made for the ride this year. Awesome to see so many bikes lined up downtown for the start. Mayor Judy Foreman ate the ceremonial first donut, Arcanum High School band played our national anthem and the riders were off. The balloon launch was much better this year with no trees for them to be stuck in and a nice breeze. Graham and Kim Guttadore led out the riders on a custom donut attired Harley with a donut flag fluttering in the breeze.
As the ride continues to grow we continue to learn and improve the event for you. All left over donuts, yogurt, fruit, energy products are given to local nursing homes, cancer organizations and churches.

A-Rocketship Sports Management an Ohio 501c3 not for profit sports corporation. The group is also responsible for The Colavita-Zipp time trial series and Colavita Ohio Cycling team. Q-WHERE DO THE PROFITS GO? A-What profit? Our intent is to put on a quality event at a fair price. We have not raised prices since the first year. Our goal is not to make a profit, though if we do it goes right back into the event for new equipment to improve the event. We do not seek cash sponsorship from local businesses to assist in funding the event and we pay for everything we use including donuts. Q-WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A HOTEL ROOM? A-The ride takes place in a rural area with limited hotels available. Over the past few years those that secure rooms book for the next year at check out. Q-WHY IS THIS EVENT SO POPULAR? A-because it is fun and unique! Q-IS EATING DONUTS REQUIRED? A-No, eating donuts is not a requirement and there is plenty of other healthy snacks. 50% of participants do not eat any donuts. Average donut consumption is 4 donuts. Q-I HEARD YOU RAN OUT OF DONUTS A-Yes it is true. OUR WORST NITEMARE! During the 2011 event the first donut stop ran out of donuts for a few minutes near the end of the ride when a supply truck attempted to locate an injured rider. This will never happen again. Q-I HEARD YOU HAD A LONG LINE AT REGISTRATION A-YES we did our release form was tedious. Huge changes were made in 2012 and registration now runs very smooth, without a long line. Q-STRATEGY? A-75% of donuts are eaten at the first stop. Q- IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT? Q-Can I pull a bike trailer behind my bike? Q-Can I ride and eat donuts at the same time? As with any competition there are some people who are very serious. Here are a few suggestions from a Tour de Donut champion. Tip #1 Set a goal for how many you can eat and stick to it ! Other Riders (OR): This is true with anything, including eating. Remember to set a realistic goal. Most of us can't eat a dozen donuts. Tip #2 Eat 2/3 of your goal at the first stop (i.e. goal of 21, eat at least 14 at the first stop) Tip #3 Pick up as many donuts as you can and start eating them .Once you have committed and taken a bite, you will make yourself finish. Tip #4 Drink enough water to keep your throat moist, but not too much. Tip #5 Eat fast. There is a delay in the stomach telling your brain that it is full. The longer the breaks between bites, the more time for your stomach to start screaming! OR: Most riders had mixed feelings about this one. Eat at a pace which is comfortable for you. Tip #6 OR: Most think it's best to eat a large meal the night before. Maybe something high in carbs.

Revenue Implications of New York City's Tax System |
April 2004 Volume 10, Number 4 |
JEL classification: H2, H7, R5 |
Authors: Jesse Edgerton, Andrew F. Haughwout and Rae Rosen A study of New York City's tax system finds that over the past three decades, the system has become less reliant on property and general sales taxes and more dependent on corporate and personal income taxes. This shift has made the city's tax revenues less stable than the revenues of the 1970s and more sensitive to cyclical swings. |

Sure, the poster child for pricey topless motoring without the guilty conscience may be off the drive-it-now shopping list (don't worry, Tesla's Model S sedan could start production in 2010). But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the sweet smell of summer behind the wheel of a convertible without denting your 401k or your Chevron card. In fact, there's a surprising number of convertibles that deliver heaping dollops of fun and frugality in nearly equal measure. In no particular order, here's a look at 10 drop-tops that we've had our eye on early this summer. We've included a "fun factor," which is our rather subjective, increasing 110 scale for, well, everything we consider a good time on the open road. Don't agree with our rankings? Go nuts in the comments section below! By The Automotive Editors Email Comments 0 Share Back 3 of 10 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails 2008 Jeep Wrangler Price: $19,680 MPG: 15 city/19 highway Fun Factor: 9 Okay, so Jeeps don't offer the same kind of fun as Corvettes or Miatas. But if you're idea of a "beach day" means dropping into deep sand bowls at Pismo, that Vette isn't going to cut it. The Wrangler is the 4x4 equivalent of a high-performance sports car. With solid axles at each end and a long-stroke suspension, the Wrangler will walk over trails that will leave crossovers and even some fairly capable SUVs eyeing the recovery strap. To us, fun means real open-air four-wheeling. And in a Jeep Wrangler you can drop the top and even unbolt the doors and fold the windshield down too. On paved roads, the Wrangler certainly won't set any land speed records. The 202-hp 3.8-liter V6 has to lug around 3760 pounds of Jeep. And the top isn't the easiest or quickest soft-top to raise and lower. But at under 20K, the Wrangler is one of the least expensive and most fun convertibles on the market. And that's been true for over 20 years.

News : Broad adds to England injury concerns
News : Cook, Prior rested for second outing Players/Officials:
Stuart Broad
| Graham Onions
Mumbai A v England XI at Mumbai
England tour of India
Stuart Broad did not bowl on the final day of England's warm-up match against Mumbai A after scans showed bruising to his left heel. Broad, captaining the side, was able to field but is not expected to play in the four-day match against Haryana, starting on Thursday, raising questions about his fitness for the first Test.
Broad has only bowled ten overs on tour so far, having been rested for England's opening match. With the first of four Tests against India in five weeks due to begin in Ahmedabad on November 15, that represents far from ideal preparation for Alastair Cook's new vice-captain and opening bowler.
England have already had to deal with an injury to Steven Finn, which prompted Stuart Meaker's call-up to the tour party. Tim Bresnan, who took four wickets against India A last week, and Graham Onions are the other fast bowlers in the squad.
Broad was sent for a scan on Sunday after experiencing discomfort during a long day in the field. The outcome was that he has bruised the joint, but nothing more serious. He was, however, unable to take the new ball on Monday morning - Onions doing so instead, in partnership with James Anderson. Onions had Mumbai's top-scorer, Hiken Shah, caught behind for 92 to give him figures of 2 for 57 in the match.
An ECB statement said: "Scans show Broad has a bruised left heel. He is fit to field but won't bowl today. Progress will be monitored over next couple of days." Meaker, meanwhile, is set to join up with England on Tuesday after receiving his Indian visa.

Peter Bales
From Openwaterpedia
Peter Bales is the chairman and one of the founding members of the Cape Long Distance Swimming Association, the official body to officiate over solo swims in Cape Town waters in South Africa, and elsewhere in the country on request. Bales helped co-found the Cape Long Distance Swimming Association with Dennis Pearson, Coenie van Eyssen, Frank Nielsen, John Pagden and surfing doyen John Whitmore as its President.Bales has served as a support crew, observer and organizer of many open water swimming events in South Africa. He has also been piloting open water swimmers since 1969.
The Cape Long Distance Swimming Association (CLDSA) was formed in 1969 largely as a result of interest generated in long distance swimming by the Robben Island to Woodstock race which was held in March of that year. A small group of swimmers and officials decided it was necessary to form a body to officiate and record all long distance swims in the Cape. The constitution laid down the basic rules of the sport which conform with today's international FINA rules.
During the 1970's two races were organised from Fish Hoek to Muizenberg but apart from this, the Association's sole function remained officiating swims.
In the 1980's a group of swimmers from the Atlantic seaboard joined the committee and numerous open water events were organised, many continuing on an annual basis until the present. People such as Tony Scalabrino, Eddie and Anthony Cassar, Barry Cutler and Chris Barnard kept the Association growing and six years ago a national body was formed in order to select and take swimmers to the World Championships.
The exploits of South African swimmers has been documented in a soft-cover book Open Water Swimming in South Africa, A Journal of the Cape Long Distance Swimming Association, compiled by Tony Sellmeyer. The book is in its third edition and is an inspirational journal on Open Water Swimming, containing articles, records, history, interesting stories, and much more.

The Beats Pill speaker has got some pop Video
The Beats Pill speaker has got some pop Video Transcript
-Hi, I'm David Carnoy, executive editor for cnet.com. And I'm here with the Beats by Dre pill bluetooth speaker. The speaker is very much in the vein of the Jawbone JAMBOX. It is a little bit longer and is in the shape of a capsule. As you could see, it actually comes packaged much like a pill and it comes with a nice carrying case. Like JAMBOX, this one has a rechargeable battery and a built-in speaker phone capability. One feature you will not find in the JAMBOX is NFC capabilities unless you take an NFC phone such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and tap to pair it. Like a lot of other small bluetooth speakers, this one charges via USB. It also has an input for non-bluetooth devices if you have an optional capable and it has an output as well. But really what sets this apart from the competition is its form factor, its design, and also its sound quality. It's a little bit better than the JAMBOX. It plays loud for its size, has decent base, decent clarity. It's not gonna blow everyone away, but certainly it offers impressive sound for its size. I'm David Carnoy and that's the Beats by Dre pill bluetooh speaker. Thanks for watching.

In 2003, it is press-bio cliche to front that an artist or an album is so original it resists definition, which for most artists is the case. And most of the time, originality isn't even meritous. Unless you are CEX aka loquacious Baltimore-based MC / laptop wunderkind and stylistic shape shifter Rjyan Kidwell, in which case your originality and unwavering commitment to your own artistic evolution clearly evidences you as a genius. So how would one ever expect to find out who Cex really is? Cex himself provides the easy answer: rjyan.com. Since 2000, Kidwell has kept a meticulously up-to-date, didactic and, often embarrassingly forthright diary on his website-- before Beck did it, before Moby did it, and long before Blogger and Livejournal came on the scene. This diary, and the spirit of intimacy that pervades all of Cex's output, is the constant that has stayed the same throughout the Cex discography. Unlike some artists, you don't have to take a press release's word for it to believe that Cex is honest--- beyond the point-blank directness of his lyrics, you can read his own handwriting in his album's liner notes, and check the website for Rjyan holding forth on bad shows, being a feminist, Catholic guilt and what kind of drugs you can get for free. And it's fascinating.

Samsung Galaxy Tab pricing shows up on Amazon UK, and it's well over a thousand dollars U.S., presumably to force you toward subsidized prices so you'll end up paying the same amount or more for with-contract tablets. Which ... seriously? No. Also, Craigslist says the adult services section is gone for good, and Google's music service appears to be imminent--much to Spotify's demise--er, dismay.
Bullo Pill are an indie band from London UK. James the singer says: "This was our first gig in london and a good crowd turned up, this was our second song of the night and we started to get into it"
Ep. 500: Where Wilson brought his happy pills
We're surprised that Wilson is still standing after going under the knife yesterday to get his wisdom teeth pulled. Luckily, Wilson explains that his disturbingly small mouth, combined with the supreme skills of his dentist, led to a speedy recover--less than 24 hours after the surgery, we've got our Wilson back! And besides, all of his wisdom is localized to his hair.
Prevent a hangover with the worlds first 'sober pill'? Ep: 110
Scientists have created what may be the worlds first pill that can make you sober if you've had too much to drink. Russian meteorite fragments go up for sale on online as well as Milla Jovovich's shorts and later this year a man will have surgery to attach a bionic hand that can feel touch sensations.
The X-Mini Max II Capsule Speaker
The X-Mini Max II Capsule Speaker is an excellent option for anyone looking for an ultraportable speaker that offers great sound quality at a very reasonable price.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 (black)
If you love supertelephoto photography, this Panasonic looks like the camera to beat.
Kobo Aura: No Kindle killer, but a classy e-reader
In some ways, the Kobo Aura beats the Kindle Paperwhite.
At the Drive-In: "One Armed Scissor"
Combining searing melodies and an heart-racing, unpredictable beats, At the Drive-In were the well-deserved kinds of the late '90s emo cross over. Formed in early 1994, they became known for their high-energy live shows, which are captured in this video for "One Armed Scissor".
If you can look past its inability to dock iPads horizontally, the JBL OnBeat is a decent little iPad/iPhone speaker dock that's affordably priced and well-suited for nightstand use.
Beats Pill (black) Review
The good: The Beats by Dr. Dre Pill is a portable Bluetooth speaker with striking design, good sound and volume for its size, decent battery life, and speakerphone capabilities. It has tap-to-pair capabilities for NFC-enabled smartphones phones, Apt-X technology, and line inputs and outputs. It also comes with a nice carrying case.
The bad: The Pill is somewhat pricey, and Apple iOS 6 users may encounter an unacceptable amount of Bluetooth hiccuping. The speaker doesn't acquit itself terribly well with big bass tracks from artists like Dr. Dre.
The bottom line: The Beats Pill outperforms the Jawbone Jambox and has a couple of intriguing extra features, but the speaker is overpriced at $199.

Annuities are designed for long-term retirement investing. Early withdrawals may be subject to withdrawal charges. Partial withdrawals may reduce benefits available under the contract, as well as the amount available upon a full surrender. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% federal tax may apply. An investment in a variable annuity involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested. Tax-qualified plans, such as an IRA, 401(k), etc., are tax-deferred (and subject to required minimum distributions) regardless of whether or not they are funded with an annuity. Variable annuities are sold by prospectus only. The prospectus contains the investment objectives, risks, fees, charges, expenses and other information regarding the contract and underlying funds, which should be considered carefully before investing. A prospectus may be obtained from your financial advisor or by calling 1-800-445-7862. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. Variable annuities are issued by American General Life Insurance Company (American General Life), except in New York, where they are issued by The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (US Life). Products are marketed by SunAmerica, The Retirement Specialist. All products may not be available in all states. The purchase of a variable annuity is not required for, and is not a term of, the provision of any banking service or activity. This material was prepared to support the marketing of the SunAmerica Variable Annuities. Please keep in mind that American General Life Insurance Company (American General Life), SunAmerica, and their distributors and representatives may not give tax, accounting or legal advice.
