It's something that a lot of relay runners take for granted, until they mess it up.
It's the handoff, also known as the exchange, and it can make or break a relay team's success.
"I think handoffs are very crucial in relays," said Hotchkiss senior Tell Hawk, who has run on all four relays currently ranked in the top 18 in state 3A competition. The only way to master the handoff, said Hawk, is to do it over and over again.
With competition tight in the individual events, relays are a great way to qualify athletes for the state meet. Hawk, who is currently ranked in the top five in the 400-meter dash, was the only Hotchkiss male to qualify for state in 2011 and is a key runner in relays.
A good handoff is essential, especially in sprint relays, the 800-meter sprint medley, 400, 800 and sprint relays where the exchange requires a "blind handoff," said assistant coach Anna Cowan, who was a sprinter at Adams State College and ran on numerous relays for Hotchkiss. Cowan has three state championships in relays and anchored the 2006 state champion 400 team, but said a bad exchange between first and second runners almost cost them the race. "Thankfully it didn't cost us, but it could have."
The longer distance relays, the 1600 and 3200, use a different technique in handoffs, where runners line up according to where their teammate is running, and can watch for the approaching runner.
With the boys ranked barely above the top 18 cutoff mark in the 400 and 800 relays, qualifying may come down to good handoffs. While the boys' times are improving, times across the state are also improving as the weather warms and athletes get in better shape, said Cowan. The girls are ranked in the top three in the 1600 and medley relays and in the top 10 in the 400 and 800 relays, so they're pretty safe as far as state qualifications go.
"We're working really, really hard on exchanges," said Cowan. "It's something that we're focusing on a lot, especially with the younger kids. They're kind of shaky sometimes, and that's ok."
The team has a lot of young runners, she added, so there are races where freshmen hand off to freshmen. "It's scary, but they're quick learners."
Freshman sprinter Aleksus Wilson said that her biggest challenge is adjusting from the middle school method, where the runner hands off from behind, to the technique Hotchkiss uses, where the runners are almost side by side during the exchange.
In sprint relays, handoffs occur at full speed, although a 200 runner may be losing steam going into the exchange zone. Ideally, the lead runner won't see her teammate during the exchange. The approaching runner has to know exactly when to signal the lead runner to take off, and must place the baton firmly in the lead runner's hand. Neither runner can step outside of their lane, or they risk team disqualification.
Handoffs must also occur within the exchange zones, which are marked within each lane. The less time spent in the zone, the faster the overall race time. A fast approach combined with a slow takeoff can result in a bad handoff. Conversely, a slow approach and a fast takeoff can result in the lead runner leaving the exchange zone and having to stop to receive the baton. Both result in lost precious time, at best.
"It's pretty basic," said Cowan. Runners know how many steps to take before the handoff occurs.
Typically, the second-fastest runner leads and the fastest anchors, said Cowan, but it's ok to try different variations. And, of course, the lead runner has to know how to come out of the starting block in the most efficient manor while hanging on to the baton. A bad start can also cost crucial time, and a runner who jumps the gun risks a team DQ.
At Friday's Coal Ridge Invitational, and despite several athletes being away for spring break, the boys team placed in the top three in three relays. The 400 relay team finished second, and the 1600 and 3200 teams were third. The boys placed eighth overall with 28 points.
Jenni Celis and Natalie Anderson were one and two respectively in the 800, and Anderson topped second-place Grand Valley by 21 seconds to win the 1600. The 800 relay team was fourth, and the sprint medley team of Jessie Mautz, Savannah Rocha, Celis and Buhrdorf placed first, resetting the meet record, set by Hotchkiss in 2011, with a time of 1:52.70.
In field events, Rocha cleared 4 feet, 11 inches to win her sixth consecutive high jump.
Kylie Hodges made her best mark of the season in the shot put, throwing 33-11.50 to place fifth overall.
Next Tuesday, Hotch-kiss will host a junior varsity meet beginning at 3 p.m. And there will be lots of handoffs. This Saturday, the Bulldogs travel to Rifle.

The International Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Int.): Oral Rehydration
Oral Rehydration Salts
Acute diarrhoeal diseases are among the leading causes of mortality in infants and young children in many developing countries. In most cases, death is caused by dehydration. Action to reduce such deaths will help countries achieve the Millenium Development Goal of reducing the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds by the year 2015. Dehydration from diarrhoea can be prevented by giving extra fluids at home, or it can be treated simply, effectively and cheaply in all age groups and in all but the most severe cases by giving patients by mouth an adequate glucose electrolyte solution called Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) solution.
A revised monograph for Oral Rehydration Salts has been published in the fourth edition of The International Pharmacopoeia. The revised monograph provides the quality specifications for the reduced osmolarity formula ORS now recommended by WHO and UNICEF.
- International Pharmacopoeia 4th edition 2011 (incl. First and Second Supplements)
- For rapid revisions and important corrections see the Publication page
Detailed recommendations concerning the provision and production of oral rehydration salts are provided in a revised joint WHO/UNICEF publication entitled "Oral Rehydration Salts - Production of the New ORS". This publication updates an earlier document (WHO/CDD/SER/85.8) and is available on the website.
Zinc Supplementation
WHO and UNICEF now recommend zinc supplementation in addition to the use of the reduced osmolarity ORS in the management of diarrhoeal diseases. The monographs listed here have been adopted by the Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations.
Zinc sulfate

Zinc sulfate oral solution, paediatric

Detailed recommendations concerning the provision and production of zinc preparations are provided in a publication titled " Production of Zinc Tablets and Zinc Oral solutions available on the Child and Adolescent Health and Development website.
Additional advice on diarrhoea is given under Facts for Life on the UNICEF website

WGN America is shedding its "superstation" skin and getting into the original scripted series business this spring with the period drama Salem.
The hour-long series, set in 17th century Massachusetts, explores the infamous Salem witch trials. In a twist, witches are real in Salem, and there's a dark, supernatural truth behind them.
Brannon Braga (24, Star Trek: The Next Generation) created, executive produced and wrote Salem, along with Adam Simon (The Haunting in Connecticut). The show stars Janet Montgomery (Made in Jersey), Shane West (Nikita), Seth Gabel (Fringe), Ashley Madekew (Revenge), Xander Berkeley (The Mentalist), Tamzin Merchant (Jane Eyre) and Elise Eberle (The Astronaut Farmer).
West plays John Alden, a "tough, pragmatic, wry-humored" war veteran who returns to Salem after spending a decade on the battlefield and being held in captivity at the hands of the Indians. John finds his hometown gripped in witch-hunt frenzy, led by Cotton Mather (Gabel). John also has a history with Mary Sibley (Montgomery), but is the subject of advances by Anne Hale (Merchant), a fearless artist who becomes Mary's enemy.

The castlewood homicide

I have wondered this same thing (lack of update) Is there any update or arrest made in this case?
on Apr 30, 2008 at 12:11 pm
It seems that way with a number of stories which are "opened" by the Pleasanton Weekly. They are front-page, hot topics for a day, then get dropped and never followed up on until someone (or some two or three) inquire here. My guess is we'll see a story today on the Castlewood case, after the prodding in the comments. For instance, is the infant (see April 9th) still in critical condition? It was the same way when the senior-citizen driver of the black SUV was critically injured in the October accident on Foothill. For weeks, no one heard whether she had recovered or was still in critical condition.

Washington, DC - 07/19/2010 - The White House today announced the creation of a unifying national ocean policy that will protect key natural resources and ensure that sustainability will drive future economic activities offshore and close to shore."Our planet is 70 percent blue, and our national economic and environmental policies should keep it that color," said Chris Mann, senior officer for the Pew Environment Group. "Whether it's recovering from the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, reducing polluted runoff or protecting important marine and coastal habitat, we have a lot of work ahead of us to achieve that goal." The new National Ocean Policy provides a way to unify the more than 140 federal laws and dozens of federal agencies that have some jurisdiction over U.S. waters in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. A National Ocean Council will coordinate this initiative and implement a coastal and marine planning system that will identify areas where industrial uses make sense and others that should be protected from such development. More thorough and balanced assessment of the costs and benefits of marine activities will lead to better siting decisions for offshore development, minimization of risks to fish and wildlife and better management of unavoidable risks.The oceans play a critical role in the U.S. economy. In November 2008, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that:

TEAMS: New York Rangers
Everyday on Twitter, I see the beat writers giving answers to the same question: Did Brandon Dubinsky skate? The answer has been 'no', and the answer will likely be 'no' for the forseeable future. Dubinsky is still using his walking boot and has not skated since the Ottawa series. Prior to that, Dubinsky was alternating between second line duties and third line duties (following the injury to Brian Boyle), although this was before Chris Kreider was inserted into the top six.
With Boyle back, and Kreider showing he deserves his top six minutes, the question about the Rangers missing Dubinsky hasn't been brought up too often. After all, why question something if the Rangers are winning? John Mitchell is doing just fine on the fourth line, and won a key face off that led to Marc Staal's overtime winner in Game Five of the Washington series. Mike Rupp is playing very well. Ruslan Fedotenko is too.
So the question becomes: If Dubinsky comes back, who would sit? Does the team even miss hi...

A Decade Lost and Found: Mexico and Chile in the 1980s
Chile and Mexico experienced severe economic crises in the early 1980s. This paper analyzes four possible explanations for why Chile recovered much faster than did Mexico. Comparing data from the two countries allows us to rule out a monetarist explanation, an explanation based on falls in real wages and real exchange rates, and a debt overhang explanation. Using growth accounting, a calibrated growth model, and economic theory, we conclude that the crucial difference between the two countries was the earlier policy reforms in Chile that generated faster productivity growth. The most crucial of these reforms were in banking and bankruptcy procedures.Download Info

Jokinen has been player who was traded about 50 times at the deadline and during the off-season, but now it's reality. The Panthers get two great young blueliners and really beef up their talent back there. Whether or not it turns into results, we'll have to see.
7:28 PM: The Kings are up now, and they go ahead and pick Drew Doughty. Doughty was interchangeable with some of the defensemen out there, but his ability to step into a uniform now is what helped the Kings make the decision easier. Wazz's Pick Score: 2/2

Memories of the old neighborhood, before everything changed.
New York
A profile of former club kid Michael Alig, who is approaching release after serving 17 years in jail for murder.
Exploring the vast underground world of New York City with three of the people who know it best.
The homeless population of New York City is higher than it's been in decades. Nobody seems to notice.
"They cruise the city in chauffeured cars, blasting rap, selling pot to classmates. How some of New York's richest kids joined forces with some of its poorest."
A terminally ill young woman arrives in New York to spend her last months.
"Outside, the spring wind rippled the silk across Sabrina's skin and as she tilted her face up, the sun drew freckles across her nose and cheeks. She felt lighter than she had in weeks. It had been a strange irony that even as she was losing weight, she'd felt leaden; it was the loss of energy, of course, but it was more than that, too. It was as if the knowledge inside her was quantifiable, which meant it was diminishable, too. She hadn't wanted to hand pieces of her diagnosis to those she knew, those she loved—but what a relief to give a sliver of it away."
"Morning and night the hordes of clerks and stenographers and business men who fill the offices of down-town New York have poured across Newspaper Row and City Hall Park with scarcely a glance at the labor progressing underfoot that is going to bring them so many minutes nearer their work in the morning, and at night so many minutes nearer their play."
In 1802, horse rustler George Washington Loomis rode into Oneida County and built a mansion adjacent to an impenetrable swamp perfect for storing thieved goods. It was the beginning of the saga of the largest organized crime family in 19th century America.
Aaron Greene and Morgan Gliedman were young and in love and pregnant and partial to heroin and living in a Village apartment with a lot of heavy weaponry lying about. Then they were arrested, and their stories started to change.
A profile of Frank Lucas, whose life was the basis for the film American Gangster, decades after his days as a kingpin.
On Queens' stubbornly unchanging Roosevelt Avenue, where immigrants pay $2 a song to grind against hired dancers and shuttered houses of prostitution have given way to rolling brothel-vans.
How the museum-quality 55,000 film collection that an East Village video store gave away ended up in a small, possibly mob-run village in Sicily.
A profile of Salvatore Strazzullo, who represents celebrities, whether major or minor, who get themselves in trouble in Manhattan after dark.
The director on Obama, the state of black cinema, the Knicks, the Nets, the tragedy of public education in America, gentrified New York and why he lives on the Upper East Side.
Visiting his daughter in San Francisco, the author longs for food delivery in Manhattan.
A profile of Hector Xavier Monsegur, aka Sabu, a hacker star of Anonymous and resident of a New York City housing project.
The author reflects on his mayoral run with Norman Mailer against John Lindsay.
At the bar one night a couple of weeks after the primary, I looked up from a drink and saw my face and Norman's face floating across the screen on the NBC First Tuesday show. It is a network thing, and they did a 20-minute look at our campaign. The show reinforced my opinion that Norman and I had some of the most terrific lows in the history of anything that ever took place in this city. And, perhaps, a couple of highs that could be recognized as time passes a bit. Like maybe colleges for years will be using the things Norman Mailer was saying out in the streets.
On the trade school's business model and its founder, a former movie producer named Jerry Sherlock.
"Opium does not deprive you of your senses. It does not make a madman of you. But drink does. See? Who ever heard of a man committing murder when full of hop. Get him full of whiskey and he might kill his father."
A journey into New York's turn-of-the-century opium dens to find out who gets hooked and why.
A profile of the artist.
"Unfortunately, death is a fact of life. I don't think it's happened to me any more unfairly than to anyone else. It could always be worse. I've lost a lot of people, but I haven't lost everybody. I didn't lose my parents or my family. But it's been an incredible education, facing death, facing it the way that I've had to face it at this early age."
Afternoons with Altman and Allen.
For a year or two during the mid-1970s, living in New York, I was a moviegoer. I was in my early 20s then, working off and on, driving a cab, setting up the stage at rock shows, writing occasional pieces for The Village Voice. But there were also long empty spells. I tried to write some fiction and couldn't, tried to read and could—but only for so long. I ended up going to the movies.
An investigation into the events surrounding Dominique Strauss-Kahn's May 2011 arrest for sexual assault.
Rule #5: "Be unflappable."
In that first New York City apartment, not once but twice, cops came to bust brothels operating on our floor. When they attempted to batter down our door instead of our neighbors', we opened up, pointed them in the right direction, and explained cheerily, "Oh, we're not hookers!" To our great satisfaction, the mystery of why that man was always washing sheets in the shared laundry room had finally been solved.
Life, and debt, in New York.
I've historically been pretty good at getting by on what I have, especially if you apply the increasingly common definition of "getting by," which has more to do with keeping up appearances than keeping things under control. Like a social smoker whose supposedly endearing desire to emulate Marlene Dietrich has landed her in a cancer ward, I have recently woken up to the frightening fallout of my own romantic notions of life in the big city: I am completely over my head in debt. I have not made a life for myself in New York City. I have purchased a life for myself.
In 1972, James Wolcott arrived in New York armed with a letter of recommendation from Norman Mailer. He hoped to land a job at The Village Voice. Excerpted from his memoir, Lucking Out.
How lucky I was, arriving in New York just as everything was about to go to hell. I had no idea how fortunate I was at the time, eaten up as I was by my own present-tense concerns and taking for granted the lively decay, the intense dissonance, that seemed like normality.
Love advice from a beloved aunt.
I try to call my Great Aunt Doris every day. She's ninety-years old and lives alone. I love her desperately and as she gets older, especially of late as she becomes more feeble, my love seems to be picking up velocity, overwhelming me almost, tinged as it is with panic -- I'm so afraid of losing her.
Recently discharged, an undocumented immigrant discusses his treatment.
In a city with a large immigrant population, it is not rare for hospitals to have one or more patients who, for reasons unrelated to their medical condition, do not seem to leave. At Downtown, where a bed costs the hospital more than $2,000 a day, there are currently three long-term patients who no longer need acute care but cannot be discharged because they have nowhere to go. The hospital pays nearly all costs for these patients' treatment. One man left recently after a stay of more than five years.
When a writer's daily routine gets out of control.
One morning, as I gobbled my doughnut and slurped my coffee, thinking to myself, "What a fantastic doughnut, what an amazing coffee," I realised that I had not just thought this but was actually saying aloud, "What a fantastic doughnut! What a totally fantastic experience!", and that this was attracting the attention of the other customers, one of whom turned to me and said, "You like the doughnuts, huh?"
How a town of 29,000 on the Hudson River came to be "one of the most dangerous four-mile stretches in the northeastern United States."
A look at the artists and writers who drive for a New York cab company. The story that inspired Taxi.
An abridged history of violence in "America's first suburb."
Note: Elon Green is a contributing editor to Longform.
Dreaming of the perfect apartment.
Should anyone ever choose to remake and bastardize Breakfast at Tiffany's, I propose an opening sequence re-imagined to reflect more contemporary preoccupations. The revised opening scene should be filmed against the backdrop of an early evening in Brooklyn. The throngs of suits coming home from their nine to five grinds in Manhattan would be emerging from the subway stairwells like ants from an anthill, rushing off down various streets towards their various homes and families and dinners. All except for the would-be protagonist who, as the crowd rushes past her, makes her way to the closed-for-the-night real-estate storefront opposite the subway station. Somewhere, "Moon River" might still be playing, as if it had never stopped. Disheveled, lugging her purse and gym bag, she pauses for a number of minutes to read listings she has already read, and which she committed to memory weeks ago: a studio on Pineapple Street; a loft on Gold Street; a townhouse on Argyle Street; a two-bedroom coop on First Place; a one-bedroom condo on Carlton Avenue; a brownstone on Henry Street. It's fall and the leaves blow in eddies on the sidewalk. She gets cold and turns away from the window to walk off down the street just as dusk begins to arrive in earnest. The occasional "For Sale" sign swings on its hinges, and the story of the day ends only to begin again in the morning.
It smells of truck exhaust and fish guts. Of glistening skipjacks and smoldering cigarettes; fluke, salmon and Joe Tuna's cigar. Of Canada, Florida, and the squid-ink East River. Of funny fish-talk riffs that end with profanities spat onto the mucky pavement, there to mix with coffee spills, beer blessings, and the flowing melt of sea-scented ice. This fragrance of fish and man pinpoints one place in the New York vastness: a small stretch of South Street where peddlers have sung the song of the catch since at least 1831, while all around them, change. They were hawking fish here when an ale house called McSorley's opened up; when a presidential aspirant named Lincoln spoke at Cooper Union; when the building of a bridge to Brooklyn ruined their upriver view.
If the memory of the Twin Towers now belongs to the world, the story of how they have been replaced is entirely of New York: a tale of power, capital, shifting allegiances, and hallowed ground.
On the world's longest foot race, which takes place entirely within Queens, N.Y.:
Such were the hazards last summer in Jamaica, Queens, at the tenth running of the Self-Transcendence 3,100. The fifteen participants—all but two of them disciples of the Bengali Guru Sri Chinmoy, who has resided in the neighborhood for forty years—hailed from ten countries on three continents. They ran in all weather, seven days a week, from 6:00 a.m. to midnight, or until their bodies compelled them to rest. If they logged fewer than fifty miles on a given day, they risked disqualification. By their own reckoning, the runners climbed eight meters per lap, mounting and descending a spectral Everest every week and a half. They toiled in this fashion for six to eight weeks, however long it took them to complete 5,649 circuits—3,100 miles—around a single city block.
Over the last several weeks, dozens of lawmakers, strategists and advocates described the closed-door meetings and tactical decisions that led to approval of same-sex marriage in New York, about two years after it was rejected by the Legislature. This account is based on those interviews, most of which were granted on the condition of anonymity to describe conversations that were intended to be confidential.
A brutal story from the Times' cub Metro reporter:
''We're dying,'' he said. ''Why is this happening? Is it because we loved each other too much or not enough?"
On the soul of the commuter:
A commute is a distillation of a life's main ingredients, a product of fundamental values and choices. And time is the vital currency: how much of it you spend—and how you spend it—reveals a great deal about how much you think it is worth.
TM The only other time I saw you was in Bleecker Bob's in the '70s. You walked in eating pizza and wearing aviator glasses and Bleecker Bob showed you an Ian Dury picture sleeve and you said, "I don't listen to music by people I don't wanna fuck." PS (laughter) Yeah, that was me.
Louis C.K. has a deal unlike anyone else's on TV: his network, FX, has no approval rights and offers no notes. He is also the show's lone writer, editor, director, and star. A profile.
The author came late to basketball. A profile of his favorite player:
He creates a sense of danger in the arena and yet has enough wit in his style to bring off funny ideas when he wants to.
Ramón González's middle school is a model for how an empowered principal can transform a troubled school. But can he maintain that momentum when the forces of reform are now working against him?
On the mysterious relationship between a major New York State power broker and a Brooklyn family. "The Turanos are variously described by friends, neighbors and colleagues as the senator's social acquaintances, lovers or surrogate relatives."
On the dilemmas facing a (very famous) working mother in New York City. "It is less dangerous to draw a cartoon of Allah French-kissing Uncle Sam—which, let me make it very clear, I have not done—than it is to speak honestly about this topic."
The father: an Oscar-winning songwriter. The son, a college dropout and partier around downtown New York. Their alleged crimes; serial casting-couch rape (the senior) and a drowning murder in a Soho House bathtub (the junior).
A look at the legislative lobbying efforts of Michael Bloomberg's $7 billion-per-year company. While the mayor has no specific day-to-day role at Bloomberg LP, he maintains "the type of involvement that he believes is consistent with his being the majority shareholder."
Cathie Black, former magazine executive, currently Bloomberg's hand-picked Chancellor of New York City schools

April Savino, a teenage homeless runaway, lived in Grand Central Terminal from 1984 until 1987 when she committed suicide on the steps of a nearby church.
The lonesome death of Arnold Rothstein, notorious gambler, inspiration for a the character Meyer Wolfsheim in The Great Gatsby, alleged fixer of the 1916 World Series, opiate importation pioneer, mobster and Jew.
In a windowless room just outside of New York City, overworked air traffic controllers manage the world's most-trafficked piece of sky—until all those blips on the screen become too much.
The author wanted to give up her day job but keep her lifestyle. So she turned to Seeking Arrangement, a site that pairs rich, older men interested in "companionship" with 20-somethings interested in "gifts."
Lenny makes $5,000 a week selling coke. It was easy to get into the business after finishing prep school. Getting out and going legit after his final score is proving much more difficult.

A great piece of kit....
Pros: Fast, reliable, light, well built, good software
Cons: Battery built in, not easy to replace....
Anyhow, on I go. Switch on was flawless and it took about 30 seconds to boot into Snow Leopards desktop (this is once I had set it up to myself). The keyboard is backlit and switches the light off when conditions are right, it was very responsive and had a really nice non clunky feel (unlike a lot of notebook/netbooks I have used). The big difference though between this and the older notebooks was the track pad. This takes a bit of getting used to, but if you have an Ipad or Iphone, you'll pick it up straight away - what's missing are buttons, but they are there, scrolling however you use two finger strokes. This if you read the instruction book let is all explained and is worth having a flick through. The DVDRW drive is the standard slot loader and maybe for the price paid they could have put a Blu ray reader or writer in. On the opposite side of the DVDRW are the I/O ports, consisting of a magnetic power point for the AC supply (I cannot sing the praises enough of the magnetic connector due to fixing so many DC sockets), a LAN port, a Thunderbolt port, an Apple Fire wire 800 port, 2 x USB2 ports (why not USB3?), a card reader which takes SD cards, an earphone slot and finally very discreetly shown a button and lights to tell you how much charge is left in the battery. On the front is an IR point (why I don't know, have never used an IR device on a note book and I generally thought it was defunct). Next to the IR port is the hard drive activity light which is very discreet, you won't even notice it, but it comes on when the laptop is in sleep mode, the hard drive is doing hard work and when you power up. On the top right of the chassis is the on button and the top left looks like the microphone.
The 13.3" display is crisp and very clear and at the top is the web cam, which is HD, unlike the Mac book airs. Plus the screen has a rubber ring round it to protect it when you close the lid.
Purchased it an Apple store, which had excellent service. When I set it up, they gave me a free upgrade to OS X LION which should have cost about $29. But I made sure it all worked before I left the store, so was a very satisfied customer.
Overall, a well built note book. Customer service is exceptional with Apple, I would highly recommend going to an Apple store to buy one rather than a normal electrical goods store or online - this way you can get some freebies. It is expensive and you are buying into the Apple mentality, but it is worth it to run LION, which is another review in its own right.

The Inspire 2007 saddlebags are available in plain and studded versions, and are made of a leather-like nylon material. They are a large, rigid mounted saddlebag and measure 19.5 x 10.5 x 6.5 inches, and will fit best on medium to large cruisers with Softail, or monoshock style swing arms. These bags can be mounted to motorcycles with externally mounted shocks, but you will need to use a mounting system like Edge Brackets in order to achieve the necessary offset. These saddlebags are very well made. The reinforcement added to the bags construction will keep these bags looking new for many years. The lid features quick release buckles that are hidden behind the classic looking ones and the bags feature a theft deterring, lockable strap. Opening the bag reveals the overlapping design and hook and loop fastening system that helps to keep water out. Inside the bag, they have added a hanging pocket for easy access to small items. Thanks for joining me for this closer look at the Inspire 2007 plain and studded rigid mount saddlebags.

Some people fill their workshops with sawdust and power tools; Ben Rasmussen built a chocolate factory in his.
Actually, "factory" might be too big a word for the Woodbridge, Va. operation, which Rasmussen says is "absurdly small." But it's a step up from his kitchen, where his Potomac Chocolate – one of the smallest chocolate companies in the U.S. – was born.
Women planning to have a baby at home will probably be helped by a midwife.
Doctors only deliver about 5 percent of babies born outside the hospital, according to figures released last month by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Depending on where you live, though, finding a licensed midwife can be tough.
Pop super star Whitney Houston's funeral will be held at the Newark, N.J. church where she sang as a little girl. Citing the owner of Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, the AP reports her funeral will take place at the New Hope Baptist Church on Saturday, Feb. 18.

A day after the United Nations' chief human rights official offered a tough rebuke of Syria, government forces continued their assault on the restive city of Homs. According to the AP, the city has sustained the heaviest shelling in days.
Good Morning!
Our early headlines:
-- Drop In Auto Sales Leads To Smaller-Than-Expected Gain In U.S. Retail Sales
-- Rick Santorum Faces Off With Occupy Movement At Campaign Event
Retail sales rose by 0.4 percent in January, the Commerce Department reported today.
While that's better than December's flat number, it's less than the 0.8 percent expected by economists. The AP adds:
"When excluding autos and gasoline station sales, retail spending jumped 0.6 percent the best showing in three months. "Consumers spent less on cars, the report showed, even though automakers have previously reported higher sales in January. That suggests dealers offered discounts in order to boost sales.

As has happened to many of the Republican presidential candidates before him, Rick Santorum was "mic checked" at a campaign rally in Washington, yesterday.
As the Bellingham Herald reports it, Santorum was speaking at a venue right next to the Occupy Tacoma encampment and was met with chants almost as soon as he started talking.

For the second time in recent weeks, the USS Abraham Lincoln has passed through the Strait of Hormuz. If you remember the strait has been central in the diplomatic rift between Iran and the United States.
Reacting to sanctions imposed by the United States and approved by the European Union, Iran has threatened to close the narrow strait through which about 20 perent of the world's oil exports passes through.
A man thought to be Iranian blew off his legs, when he tried to lob an explosive at police in Bangkok. Shortly before that happened, two other explosions were reported in the commercial district of the city.
The AP reports police found a passport that identified the man as Saeid Moradi from Iran.

Two decades of anger, apologies and agreements have failed to keep the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from ending posthumous Mormon baptisms of prominent Jews and holocaust victims.
In the latest incident, the parents of the late Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of a Nazi death camp and an advocate for holocaust victims, were baptized in a Mormon ceremony.

The current gas crisis has really pulled at Verizon's heart. Just this weekend, "the phone company" was at a Citgo station in Smithtown, paying for a 25 cent reduction in the gas price and signing up for FiOS many of the motorists lining up to pay $3.99 a gallon. (Yes, $3.99 a gallon is cheap enough to spawn long lines now.)
Now comes this. According to Verizon, people are planning on staying home more this summer because of the gas crisis. So, to help them out, Verizon will give new subscribers four free video on demand movies and three months of free movie channels.
Also, Verizon will give subscribers the Home Media DVR for free for those three months. That DVR allows viewers to record programs on one box and access them from any television in their houses.
From the statement:
New FiOS TV subscribers who enroll between now and July 19 will be eligible to sign up for Verizon's Summer Movie Pass, which includes four free VOD selections and 90 days of free access to the Movie Package. In addition, the Summer Movie Pass will offer customers an upgrade to the Home Media DVR at the price of an HD DVR for 90 days.
FiOS TV's Home Media DVR service offers a multi-room DVR feature enabling up to three simultaneous viewings of recorded programs on different television sets without requiring customers to set up a complex home network or buy extra equipment. Customers also can access photos and music on their PCs and play them on their TV.
Verizon FiOS TV, delivered over 100 percent advanced fiber optics straight to the home, offers more than 400 all-digital channels, including approximately 30 high-definition (HD) channels in most markets, and access to more than 10,000 on-demand titles, 70 percent of which are free. The VOD library also now includes an increasing number of high-definition titles, with 1,000 HD VOD titles per month by the end of the year.

Drifting south from Vietnam's north coast in a wooden junk, your eyes will be riveted on what, at first, appears to be a jagged wall of emerald green. After an hour or so the wall swallows you up, and you find yourself in a fairyland of otherworldly limestone peaks, jutting from the water at sheer angles – this is Ha Long Bay, one of the most spectacular places in the whole of Vietnam.
From Guilin in China to Thailand's Phang Nga Bay, the limestone towers of the bay are by no means unique, but nowhere else are they found on such an impressive scale: an estimated 1969 islands pepper Ha Long Bay itself, with a further two thousand punctuating the coast towards China. Local legend tells of a celestial dragon and her children, sent by the Jade Emperor to stop an invasion, which spat out great quantities of pearls to form islands and razor-sharp mountain chains in the path of the enemy fleet. After the victory the dragons, enchanted by their creation, decided to stay on, giving rise to the name Ha Long ("dragon descending"), and the inevitable claimed sightings of sea monsters.
In 1469, King Le Thanh Tong paid a visit to Ha Long Bay and was so inspired by the scenery that he wrote a poem, likening the islands to pieces on a chessboard; ever since, visitors have struggled to capture the mystery of this fantasy world. Nineteenth-century Europeans compared the islands to Tuscan cathedrals, while a local tourist brochure opts for meditative "grey-haired fairies". With so much hyperbole, some find Ha Long disappointing, especially since this stretch of coast is also one of Vietnam's more industrialized regions – a major shipping lane cuts right across the bay. The huge influx of tourism has, of course, added to the problem, not least the litter and pollution from fume-spluttering boats, but a sizeable proportion of tourist income does at least benefit the local communities.
The winter weather is another factor to bear in mind; from November to March there can be chilly days of drizzly weather when the splendour and romance of the bay are harder to appreciate.
Bar a clutch of gorgeous caves, conventional sights may be few on the ground, but even if you tire of the scenery there's a lot to do in the bay – kayaking across the tranquil waters, swimming amidst the twinkles of phosphorescent plankton, or even climbing up a rocky cliff with your bare hands. The vast majority of visitors come on organized tours from Hanoi, travelling by road to Ha Long City, on the bay's northern shore, then transferring to cruise the bay on a replica wooden junk – it's not really any cheaper to do it by yourself. However, if you can do without the night on board, it's possible to hit Cat Ba – the largest and most beautiful island in the bay – from Hanoi using public transport.

Organized tours of Ha Long Bay
Organized tours of Ha Long Bay
Every Hanoi tour agent offers Ha Long Bay excursions, which work out easier – and usually cheaper – than doing the same thing yourself. There are a wide variety of trips available, including day-tours, though since the bay is a 6hr round trip from Hanoi these can feel very rushed. Most opt for a two-day, one-night tour, with the night spent at sea – this can be a delightful experience. Others go for a three-day, two-night trip, with the second night spent on wonderful Cat Ba Island.
There's also the option of getting to Cat Ba by public transport – you'll miss out on a night at sea and a few caves, but from your hydrofoil seat you'll see the bay on the way (albeit in fast-forward).
Budget and mid-range tours
Competition among Hanoi tour operators is incredibly fierce, meaning that you can get an overnight trip for next to nothing – sometimes as low as $30. However, at this price range you really could be running the gauntlet, and many travellers encounter difficulties which sour their appreciation of the bay: vessels can be dirty, have poor facilities or be horribly overcrowded – it's always best to ask operators if they have a maximum group size (sixteen is the usual upper limit), though such promises are often broken. Some junks are also simply unsafe, though regulations have been tightened up since a boat went down in early 2011, killing eleven tourists and their local guide. Do also note that if your trip is cancelled – due to bad weather, for example – you are entitled to a full refund under Vietnamese law.
Compounding the confusion is the fact that very few operators have their own vessels – travellers tend to be shunted onto whichever junk has room. As such, you may find yourself sharing a vessel with people who have paid far more or less for the same thing. In short, it's almost impossible to give concrete recommendations for budget tour operators, but there are some good mid-range choices:
Ethnic Travel t 04 3926 1951, w ethnictravel.com.vn. This outfit pride themselves on low-impact tours, and have a superb reputation. Some of their tours head to lesser-visited Bai Tu Long Bay; a three-day trip also including Ha Long Bay goes from $178 per person.
Hanoi Backpackers This hostel has been running hugely popular budget tours for years – these typically involve a bit of kayaking and swimming, and a lot of alcohol. From $80 per person.
Kangaroo Café t 04 3828 9931, w kangaroocafe.com. This Aussie-owned outfit refuses to cut corners, and deserves its great reputation. In addition, the on-board meals are nothing short of superb. Two-day from $89 per person, three-day from $129.Luxury tours
The sky's the limit on Ha Long Bay. The following are all reputable operators offering distinctive tours.
Buffalo Tours t 04 3828 0702, w buffalotours.com. Impeccable tours on one of the best junks around – the Jewel of the Bay. The seafood is as delectable as you'll get on the bay, the wine list none too shabby and kayaking is included in the cost of the trip. Starts at $159 per person.
Emeraude t 04 3934 0888, w emeraude-cruises.com. A replica of a nineteenth-century paddle-steamer, the five-star Emeraude is one of the most luxurious vessels on the bay. Facilities include a restaurant, two bars, beauty salon and massage rooms and spacious sundecks where you can indulge in sunrise tai chi classes. From $169 per person.
Handspan t 04 3926 0581, w handspan.com. Reliable operator with excellent vessels and a range of tours; perhaps of most interest is the trip around the less-visited Bai Tu Long Bay ($165 per person), which eschews the usual caves for excursions to fish farms and local schools.
Life Resorts t 033 625 3000, w life-resorts.com. Fancy your own luxury vessel? On these tours it's just you and the crew – popular with honeymooners, for obvious reasons. From $600 for a night on board, much cheaper for day-trips.
Paradise Cruises t 033 381 9999, w paradisecruises.vn. Sumptuously decorated cabins hint at high luxury – this is the only operator that expects guests to dress for dinner. Tai Chi sessions come as part of the package. From $190 per person.Diy tours from Ha Long City
Most foreign tourists visit the bay on tours starting in Hanoi, but it's just about possible to do the same thing independently – however, it must be said that these are still tours, and not likely to save you much money when all's added up. First of all you have to get to Ha Long City, then head to the Bai Chay tourist wharf, 2km west of town along Ha Long Avenue. From one booth here it's possible to take one of several day-trips, costing $5–10 per person and taking either 4, 6 or 8hr. However, these boats can get rather crowded and are not really recommended; if you go down this route, you'll also need to buy an entry ticket for the bay (30,000đ), as well as tickets to the caves (10,000–20,000đ).
If you're travelling in a group or want greater independence, you can always charter your own boat. Prices start at $50, excluding cave entry, for a 25-seater for 4hr. Meals on board cost extra, but can be excellent. Drinks tend to be pricey – it's best to take your own.

its an ok anime it does kinda bug me that everyone looks like they just came from DBZ lol i keep waiting for goku to fly by any min now but anyway i say watch it its ok th game is ok too
has any one seen blue dragon in my personal opinion i think its a good show but the story line really isn't that much of an excitment too me the only hthing i really like is when they fight with there shadows.... so i'd like to now what the rest of AO thinks i'd like too here what you all have too say
hot feets for dat azz
its an ok anime it does kinda bug me that everyone looks like they just came from DBZ lol i keep waiting for goku to fly by any min now but anyway i say watch it its ok th game is ok too
lol that would be something goku just come through and win one but like i siads ok and i did like the game
hot feets for dat azz
I don't like it that much. I really liked the game and the anime just rubs me the wrong way. I haven't been able to put my finger on what bugs me yet. One thing is that I don't like how much it changed from the game.
I'm just me.
I would probely watch it if it was on TV unedited. I really liked the game. It seems like every time there is a good anime franchise it shows up on TV edited.
I think that it's an ok show. There are much better ones on though. It reminds me too much of DBZ, though thtat's probably because of the artist involved. The main problem I have with it is that it's relatively slow to go anywhere (plot wise) from the episodes I've watched. But it's still better than most of the new stuff on Cartoon Network (though that isn't really saying much).
"What part of Evil don't you understand?"
I hate blue dragon its not a bias thats just founded on the quality of the brand (that being the game and the anime) i disliked the game because it wasnt good or on ps3 therefor it sucked. The anime is ok but its just as stupid as the game case and point. Reference the x-play review for more info lol.
