Google is your friend
Getting ready to ride again this year, and a damper is pretty strong on my mind. Been looking at different ones, and was wondering if there was a big difference from each manufacturer? There looks like two distinctive types, the Ohlins looking like just a Hydraulic bar, and GPR/Scotts look like an 'head' unit on top of the triple. Is either type better than the other? They're all within $50 of each other, I just don't know the pros/cons.

I've never ridden with the rotary dampers and don't know haw they feel on the road. I have had both adjustable and non adjustable linear dampers, the adjustable ones are far better. I can't say any particular brand does a better job, the ohlins just have finer adjustment. But is it worth the extra cost? I don't think so. The rotary dampers were developed for the dirt and I think they should stay there. You may also have to start drilling holes to mount some of the rotary dampers.
Don't think you need a damper for the street. I've never pushed any bike so hard on the street to cause a "tankslapper".
A well setup chassis shouldn't need one on public roads...just my 2 cents
I am more than a mathematical equation, I am more than a chemical combination...
Research dampers, dampeners, and damperers. Big difference.
I am faster than you. You are faster than me. Where exactly does that leave us?
probably one of the best pieces to install on a bike if not equipt already.
Between turns 3 and 4 at Mission I can honestly say it saved me from eating some ground.
Wonky pavement out on back roads can do the same thing, mind you, it takes a bit of pushing the bike beyond what would be considered normal street riding.
I think though that it doesn't matter too much on which brand as long as it is quality, it might be a little tougher to find something that fits on older models.
Your question might be answered more correctly by visiting the WMRC forums.
Dampers are really nice on some bikes, not as useful on others. My Vstrom holds a very good line
in the corners, and does not feel like it needs one at all. My older ZRX was a bit more of a beast
in that regard, and a damper absolutely improved confidence, and made the front end a lot less
Some bikes, by design, are just much more inherently stable, and do not benefit, on regular day
to day riding, by adding one. For track, it's probably a good idea on many bikes, as extra insurance.
As far as the different types, no advice there. I used a HyperPro model, that mounted underneath:

Reflections of Netherstowe House
What lies beyond this drive?
And who has lived in this beautiful old house in former days?
What do I see, a long sweeping drive,
Green lawns, borders, and tennis courts.
Carriages going to and fro.
Butlers, Cooks, Housemaids, Parlourmaids and Gardeners too.
One must close their eyes and let their imagination flow.
How times have changed,
Houses fall in dis-repair and houses are restored.
Beyond this drive what do I see?
A beautiful house restored to its former glory.
One can stay in this house and let your imagination flow,
who lived here and what did they do?
Sit back and close your eyes,
And let your imagination flow.

The Supreme Treasure: Truth in the Divine Plan of God
The human intellect is created primarily to seek, know and embrace the truth about God, since it is only in doing so that we can achieve real and lasting fulfillment. Coming to know the truth and falling deeply in love with it, is integral to the divine plan of God.
The deepest longing of the human heart is to come to know the truth about God and his wondrous plan of love for us, that we may enter into union with him and enjoy everlasting life in blessed and glorious communion with him. But we also long to know the truth because it is a necessary component of living properly in relation to ourselves, others and to God. The truth is indispensable in providing nourishment for the authentic development of the human person. A life without truth, is a stunted life of uncertainty and darkness. The question is, where do we find and hear the life-giving truth about God?
"At least one contemporary historian and scholar," he continues, "has suggested that we have come to the end of history. That challenging theory invites us to consider whether anything really 'new' has happened to humanity at any time in history. The answers to questions about ourselves and our relationships to other people and an ultimate creator or force beyond us seem just as mysterious today as at the dawn of history" (The Creative Impulse: An Introduction to the Arts 559).
Sporre has noticed something all of us come face to face with on examining humankind: we are a wounded people. Despite technological progress and the passage of many centuries, we continue to sin, create disaster, injure ourselves and others, and cause damage to society and pain in those closest to us. It is clear that human nature itself is to some extent damaged, fallen. Things are not as they should be. As the cause of the tendency to sin (concupiscence) that we are born with, the Catholic Church points to the sin of Adam and Eve (The Fall/Original Sin) at the dawn of history and its effects (please read the CCC 385 ff.).
Nevertheless, the focus of this article is that Sporre has, however indirectly, articulated the deepest longing of the human heart: to know the truth about God and thus the truth about ourselves. The human intellect is created primarily to seek, know and embrace the truth about God, since it is only in doing so that we can achieve real and lasting fulfillment. A lack of this understanding is perhaps the cause of our greatest pain, since we go about our lives seeking after all kinds of things, devoting significant energy to traveling down what are dead-end roads, all the while pitifully failing to realize what we really want and need. It is like being led to a priceless treasure buried in a field but refusing to dig. Instead, we go off and scratch elsewhere.
Of course there are innumerable people who want God apart from truth. Rather than open their hearts and minds, engaging in diligent, reasoned and serious study, they prefer to project their own subjective, internal images of who they would like God to be onto God. It's easier that way. It's more comfortable -- at least for a time -- since change/repentance/conversion is not a requirement of a god of arbitrary design. As is obvious, this practice results in the fabrication of false gods.
On the other hand, there are millions upon millions of others who do crave the truth about the Divine Other who is humanity's origin and end; they know they are seeking and they are determined to continue, yet they also notice something is terribly wrong. That is, it becomes quickly apparent that there are uncountable opinions regarding the nature of God, religion, salvation, worship, sin, sacraments, saints, heaven, hell, the afterlife, the human soul, ad infinitum. Frustrated by this mind-numbing chorus of contradiction, they are not sure where to turn. Nevertheless, the pressing question remains: where is the truth?
Further, there are millions of Christians who notice similar things. While the Bible is widely read, there exits a deplorable amount of disagreement on key doctrines (which has all too often led to discarding those doctrines under pretense of unity). Given that hundreds of churches sprout daily, many of which present diverse or contradictive teaching, Christians often find themselves on what seems a perpetual search for the elusive "right place." The uncertainty by which they are surrounded leaves them with a nagging feeling, because, as they know, Scripture affirms there is one body and one Spirit, "one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all" (Eph 4:4-6).
The Holy Spirit does not first say this and then that. God is one and unchanging; he is Truth Itself. Christ is "the way and the truth and the life" (Jn 14:6); and "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever" (Heb 13:8). Given the changeless, permanent nature of God and his truth, what are we to make of the constant state of flux and disunity found in contemporary Christendom? St. Paul exhorts the Philippians to live in harmony and be of one mind (2:2). Nowhere does Scripture advance an "each to his own" philosophy.
Many Christians want to know the truth about God and Scripture and every other aspect of the Christian faith. They want to know what is morally right, what true freedom is, who and what the human person is, and the real meaning of human life. They want to know the truth about marriage, family, society, sin, sacraments, dogma and faith and works and all the rest. Simply, they desire to know the truth and adhere to it in free and loving obedience. While they are averse to the thought of turning onto the wrong path, worse yet, finding themselves on the wide road of destruction, they nevertheless often continue resolutely onward for lack of knowing what else to do, even though they experience a feeling of uncertainty over the path they are on, even though they sense things are "not right" in Christendom. Again, the pressing question is, where is the truth?
To get to the bottom of this question, it is necessary to reflect on both God's love for us and the history of our people. Indeed, something "new" has happened to humanity: the Son of God became man! Jesus Christ lived among our people; he taught us by word and example; he suffered and died on the cross for love of humankind; he rose from the dead on the third day and, later, ascended into heaven. He promised to "go and prepare a place" for us in his Father's house (Jn 14:2-3), and stated that those who eat his flesh and drink his blood have eternal life, and will be raised on the last day (Jn 6:54).
But before Jesus suffered and died, giving us his flesh and blood as real food and drink in the Eucharist, he founded the Church -- not "a church" nor "churches" but the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church -- to stand as a "pillar and bulwark of the truth" (1 Tim 3:15), when he said, "you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Mt 16:18-19).
It is unthinkable that Christ would suffer and die on the cross for the truth about God and divine love, only to leave us to sort things out by chance or majority rule over thousands of years without an authoritative ground in the truth, without the living community of the Church guided infallibly by the Holy Spirit whose purpose is to transmit the deposit of faith in its entirety to all nations. Given the depth of God's love and the fact that God is truth, how could we possibly entertain the idea that God would provide nothing but the Bible and innumerable individualistic interpretations of its meaning, as the only source for coming to know the truth? Not only would it be illogical, but it would be inconsistent with God's perfection and omniscience. Such a situation is in no way a sure means of finding the truth; on the contrary, it is a sure means of losing it.
The Bible cannot speak, defend itself, nor interpret itself; it cannot settle every dispute about Christian faith and doctrine. Christ did not die for the Bible but for the living community of his Church: he poured out his blood for his Bride whose words transmit the mind of Christ to humankind.
As sacred as Holy Scripture is, it is also clear that sola scriptura (the Bible as the sole rule of faith), one of the three foundational pillars of the Protestant reformers, is not in harmony with God's plan. The test of time has proven sola scriptura a failure. The remedy for this situation, what is crucial for the continued authentic transmission of the deposit of faith, is the threefold oneness of Tradition, Scripture, and the Magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church.
"It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God, sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls" (CCC 95).
None of this is meant to be accusatory or derogatory toward our Protestant and non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters. Nor to anyone else of good will. The intent here is to present the beauty and importance of the truth; to convey to all people, everywhere, that the fullness of truth subsists in the Catholic Church, and that the Church is indeed the Father's plan for humanity.
Given the twenty centuries of continuity of doctrine and unity within the Church, surviving even under nearly continuous, severe and egregious opposition from powerful forces in the world, one can only conclude that the Church is indeed founded as indestructible by God himself. There is no other explanation for her continuance. As God cannot be destroyed, neither can his Church.
The Church is for all people; she is the goal of all things, since she is the body of Christ. The Church is, then, in a real way Christ. She is an organic, specific and definite, visible and invisible, divine and human, earthly and heavenly singular reality through which we receive the words of truth and the sacraments of life. This means that the earthly Church is no mere abstract reality: she has an "address"; she is governed by a leadership structure (hierarchy); she can and does settle disputes and define faith and morals (authority); she has a definite, singular voice that is accessible to everyone. It is through the Church that we hear and learn the truth; it is in her motherly arms that we attain to the fullness of life; it is through her that Christ transmits his voice throughout the world; it is by her hand led by the Holy Spirit that we learn not only how to live but how to die.
"Christians of the first centuries said, 'The world was created for the sake of the Church.' God created the world for the sake of communion with his divine life, a communion brought about by the 'convocation' of men in Christ, and this 'convocation' is the Church. The Church is the goal of all things, and God permitted such painful upheavals as the angels' fall and man's sin only as occasions and means for displaying all the power of his arm and the whole measure of the love he wanted to give the world: Just as God's will is creation and is called 'the world,' so his intention is the salvation of men, and it is called 'the Church'" (CCC 760).
Pope Benedict XVI noted that truth is necessary for the authentic development of the human person. It is certain that the transmission of truth in its fullness is the divine plan of God, "who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim 2:4). As we rest comfortably in the truth transmitted in its fullness by the Church, we find an indescribable and sublime level of peace, security and joy in knowing that we have with certainty found the voice of Christ, the treasure above all treasures, who himself came into the world not to condemn but to save (Jn 3:17), and to bear witness to the truth (Jn 18:37).
Above, Dennis Sporre invited us to consider whether humanity has reached the end of history. Has anything really "new" happened to humanity? Yes indeed! Do the answers to life's most pressing questions about ourselves, our relationships to others, and about the nature of God seem just as mysterious today as at the dawn of history? Nope.
Truth is the divine plan of God. The Church transmits that truth in its fullness with love, compassion and mercy. It is the treasure of treasures. Do you want it? All you need do is say "yes" with conviction. You don't even have to dig.

This was a very fine article. It is a failure of faith not to believe in a Church that meets with Christ's promise that he would send us the Spirit of Truth, and that he would guide us into all the truth.

I joined the Catholic Church to know God as absolute and in Christ absolute undisputed truth. I hope to learn to live by that truth and in communion with others who are aware that Christ is the way,truth and the life,the way to God. The Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church is the right place to learn this undisputed absolute truth. Nice article! Nice post too Abey.

F.K. Bartels, Thank You! I have never read a more beautiful explanation of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How Man becomes Family with God through Salvation ever since God in Christ instituted The Church. You are right! The conveyance of Truth and the resultant multiplication of Divine Love is the reason for The Catholic Church. The Human emotion elicited by this knowledge is a warm calming peace. We humans are "a stubborn people". God knew this from the first sin. He reached out then and He is reaching out even further to us now. He presented The Truth in all times and He Manifested The Truth in Our Lords Life. All for US, ALL of US. "To the ends of the earth" seems not so far off when you think about the progress in communication technology. You Can dial anywhere, one could venture that takes the " Message of Salvation" everywhere. See? The Truth. Know what time it is?

The Biblical answer to "What is truth" from the mouth of Jesus is to John 18:38 "'Pilate said unto Him "What is truth" not knowing nor aware that the answer to his question was all ready stated by Jesus in the previous paragraph to John 18:37 "____For this cause I came into the world, that I should bare witness unto the Truth. Everyone that is of the Truth heareth my voice" Which is to say he came to bear witness of the truth, which is The Father. Truth is "The Father", so everyone who are off God heareth(understand or recognize) the Masters voice.

This beer comes to me from the creator of the canquest, woodychandler. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a dark golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, a touch of fruit. Taste is alcohol, some fruitiness, a touch of medicinal flavor at the finish. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a unique and decent beer.

Poured from a 355 ml can. Pours a hazy, yellow-orange colour. Tons of ripe tropical fruit and spicy hop notes on the nose. Very pronounced boozy note, as well. Interesting mix of marzipan and dried fruit flavours capped off by a big bitter finish. A big beer in every regard.

I was very surprised to see Maui Brewing in Vancouver and to see the Liquid Breadfruit was even more amazing as it was a one off collab. Being that it is over 8% I pulled the trigger as age should not adversely effect the flavours.
The beer is a nice dark gold colour and the nose is hoppy yet fruity. The age seems to have put the breadfruit notes in the backseat but the beer has melded into a hoppy ale with tropical fruit notes on the palate much like many IPAs. The ABV is there but not too noticeable. The hops are still fresh tasting which is a happy thing considering the age. All around a great beer.

Taste is very much more fruity..mellow fruitiness balanced by nice caramel type malt..spicy/bitter in the end. Actually nice. Mouth feel is good and thick but also easily drinkable not much sigh of the high alc. Overall a nice enough beer.

This pours a honey amber color with tightly laced foam. I can't place the aroma--it's vaguely tropical. But doesn't come across in a conceptual way. If that makes any sense.
The flavor has a pleasing bitterness that's sharp and pointed with a drying finish. I pick up more distinct tropical notes—along with a green banana (specifically platano more than the more common bananas) especially on the finish. This comes together very well. It's an interesting and enjoyable brew.

To solve your biggest business problems use The Lean Startup philosophy of asking five "whys" to reveal the root cause.
To solve your biggest business problems use The Lean Startup philosophy of asking five "whys" to reveal the root cause.
The Avondale leadership team comes from a very diverse educational and professional background. When we are aligned on goals and a path forward, this diversity is a real asset. However, sometimes getting aligned can be a real challenge--especially as our leadership team has grown.
Like any small but growing business, we must decide how best to deploy our limited resources (including ourselves) against the large array of opportunities in front of us. We are in the great position of having many more opportunities than we can possibly execute. The challenge, as we have grown busier, is agreeing on which opportunities to pursue.
To solve this, we are in the early stages of moving to a "5 Whys" framework for gaining alignment.
The "5 Whys" framework arose out of Toyota's lean manufacturing movement in the 1980s. Examples, created by VelAction, can be seen here. One example from their site looks like this:
The idea is that by digging past top-level problems--e.g., customers wait too long on the phone--we can identify the root causes creating the problem. Identifying the root cause makes it easier to resolve the problem. In the above example, we might want address root causes by:
These actions are superior to the superficial action we might have taken, which is to hire (or contract for) additional phone representatives to address peak customer phone demand.
We came across the 5 Whys framework in the book The Lean Startup by author Eric Ries. In the book, Eric makes a key observation:
At the root of every seemingly technical problem is a human problem.
In a similar vein, our experience leads us to conclude:
At the root of every disagreement on the right path forward is a disagreement on our model.
(By model we mean the values, goals, means and/or constraints under which we operate.)
These observations inspire us to look beyond the obvious answer to a problem. Instead, we should understand more deeply the thinking of the people involved and whether there are systemic issues that must be addressed to keep the problem from resurfacing.
For example, we recently have had a debate around a particular client and the level of resources we should devote to building a win-win partnership. Our 5 whys look like this:
It is important to address all of these misalignments, not just the initial one. If, for example, we cannot get aligned around our risk appetite, then we have little hope of getting aligned on the other issues. Instead, we would see a proliferating series of arguments and misalignments on issues large and small.
With the 5 Whys framework, we can have a structured set of discussions around each root cause. We are confident this structure will allow us to get to alignment, and ultimately reduce the number of disconnects and lost efforts we see amongst our team.
How do you get to the root cause of your biggest challenges? Send us your thoughts and questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Superstorm Sandy slams East Coast
Forecasters expect the monster hurricane Sandy to make a westward lurch and aim for the coast of New Jersey, blowing ashore Monday night or early Tuesday and combining with two other weather systems to create an epic superstorm.

The deaths of photojournalists Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington in Libya this week lends new poignancy to a film debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday. NY1's Mara Montalbano filed the following report.
"The Bang Bang Club," which had its U.S. premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, tells the true story of four photographers who covered the first free elections in post-apartheid South Africa in the early 1990s.
Ryan Phillippe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch use the real-life subjects they portray in the film to shape their performances in this tragic yet inspiring story.
"The thing that [photographer Greg Marinovich] was most concerned with was the portrayal of his dead friends and making sure that that was consistent and not a stereotype, not a cinematic cliche, and I think we pulled that off," says Phillippe, who portrays Marinovich.
"We had sort of an emotional journey together, where [pictures editor Robin Comley] just shared everything that was necessary," says Malin Akerman, who portrays Comley. "Difficult topics of her friends dying, and what that felt like emotionally, and she was so giving and open and wonderful to work with."
"It's a very touchy subject with [photographer Kevin Carter's] family. I did get to meet his daughter and basically to reach out to her I put her initials on my chest," says Kitsch, who portrays Carter. "It means everything to me really to do that justice."
The film is even more timely in the wake of the deaths this week of two acclaimed photojournalists in Libya.
Greg Marinovich, the real life "Bang Bang Club" member portrayed by Phillippe in the film, says it is an all-too-tragic aspect of life as a combat photographer.
"Photojournalists who cover conflict and social unrest are aware of the dangers that they possibly face, and nothing can really prepare you for what does happen in a situation as chaotic as Libya," says Marinovich.
"I just think we need to be loud about that journalists are a protected community, they're a privileged community, and they're not parties to conflicts. So we just need to keep being loud about that," says director Steven Silver.
"The Bang Bang Club" opens in New York on Friday, and can currently be seen On Demand on Time Warner Cable.

TCP's 2010 Influencers: Heavenly Research
As director of quality assurance, Godwin Amekuedi oversees the quality management system for all of Argos USA's concrete and cement businesses.
Canan D'Avela is about to give a presentation on energy conservation and masonry at the annual NCMA conference.
David Goodyear says concrete was the ideal material for the new bridge.
David Goodyear designed the bridge over the Colorado River near Hoover Dam.
Good parents treat their children equally. It doesn't matter if the youngsters are popular, bright, and attractive, or if they are mediocre, average, and ordinary. The ideal parents shower all of their children with love and praise.
Take David Goodyear, for example. The senior vice president and chief bridge engineer for T.Y. Lin International refuses to buy into the hype of the just-opened bridge over the Colorado River, just 1500 feet downstream from the Hoover Dam. Every bridge is important to Goodyear, whether its image is shown around the world, or the span merely crosses a small stream.
"It's fabulous to be in the shadow of Hoover Dam, but when you build any bridge, you have to do a good job," he says. "It was an honor to design a bridge at this site, but I would not say the dam was an overriding issue for me."
Still, Goodyear, 59, knew this 20-year project would bring attention. He recalls a mentor's advice: A bridge designer should do no harm, physical or emotional. "If you design an ugly bridge, you're doing emotional harm," he says.
No harm done here. The 1060-foot-long span is the continent's longest twin-rib concrete arch bridge. It has garnered international attention since last month, when many walked on the deck for the first time. It is a living, real-world promotion for the functionality, beauty, and promise of concrete. As chief engineer of record for the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, TCP names David Goodyear a 2010 Influencer.
Goodyear may have been destined for such work. Born in Passaic, N.J., and raised in Nebraska and Ohio, his father and grandfather were engineers. He worked in construction in high school and while in Cornell University, where he earned his master's degree in structural engineering with a minor in geotechnical engineering.
One of his first experiences with bridges was helping investigate the 1970 collapse of a steel box girder bridge while it was under construction in Australia. Thirty-five workers died.
Goodyear eventually started his own firm, DGES Consulting Engineers. It was acquired in 1995 by T.Y. Lin International, where he currently is senior vice president in Olympia, Wash.
When the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) began the design process for the bridge over the Colorado River, the concrete arch and a suspension bridge were the two finalists. A design advisory panel was formed and five agencies had input: FHWA, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, and the states of Nevada and Arizona.
Goodyear recalls, "The executives said it had to be a concrete arch. It's right next to the Hoover Dam. What else would it be?"
"My real focus was using materials where they can work to their advantage," Goodyear says. "An arch is fully in compression. There is no better application for concrete. Why would you use steel, which you have to stiffen and do all sorts of things to make it work, rather than concrete which wants to work this way?"
Goodyear was one of the officials at the bridge's grand opening on Oct. 16. "I've spent nine years of my life working on this bridge," the designer explains. "You get so immersed in the work, it's sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees. Bridges are public works, so it's quite gratifying to have the public appreciate your work."

Robinson's Impact Reached Far Beyond The Hardwood
We continue with David Robinson tribute week here at Project Spurs with a look at the tremendous impact he had and is still having off the court.
We've all heard the cliche over and over before, "he's a class act on and off the court." It's a cliche used all too often on anyone who displays maturity, responsibility and basically does what they should do.
But David Robinson was different. While he ruled on the 94x50, his life work and possibly his most important work came when he was out of his silver & black uniform.
Robinson was a rare breed. How many superstars out there do you see whose off-the-court resume matches what they did on the court. In today's NBA where bad attitudes, playing for several teams and drug charges rule the league and the marketing hype, it's a wonder how Robinson was so overlooked during his career.
Malik Rose said it best in an Inside the NBA column on SI.com by Steve Aschburner.
"He could be an ass if he wanted to because he's a superstar. But he's one of the best people you ever want to meet. He's my brother in Christ and like a father figure to me. I don't think the NBA or definitely this team is going to realize what it's lost until he's gone."
Luckily now, because of the Naismaith Basketball Hall of Fame, we get to take a look back and appreciate everything Robinson did, from his 71 point game to the $11 million he donated to found the Carver Academy on San Antonio's east side with his wife, Valerie.
There's his quadruple-double and the $2,000, which turned into an $8,000 scholarship he promised to a group of students at Gates Elementary School if they finished high school and went to college.
How about his two NBA championships and two Olympic gold medals? Robinson is likely prouder of helping foot a $170,000 construction bill to build two homes in New Orleans with Chase. But don't think Robinson just wrote a check. He was there during NBA All-Star Weekend in Louisiana to also get his hands dirty.
"Throughout my career, I've seen how much the NBA family has done for the community, and I am honored to participate in projects that help the people of New Orleans rebuild their lives, " Robinson said. "We want to show the people of New Orleans that we haven't forgotten about them."
Don't think Robinson philanthropic efforts stop there. He has since started Admiral Capital Group as a way to invest in businesses with a commitment to social impact. He has also partnered with Living Cities to form the Admiral Center.
The purpose of the Admiral Center "is to provide top-performing athletes and entertainers with the expert strategic and technical services they need to expand their community work beyond simple charity and in to sustainable philanthropy with maximum impact."
The NBA Community Assist Award, which is given out monthly, is now named after Robinson. The winner gets the David Robinson plaque with the inscription "Following the standard set by NBA Legend David Robinson who improved the community piece by piece."
I could probably go on and on but in honoring Robinson, I wouldn't want to continue doing something, listing his NBA and philanthropic resume, that he would oppose doing himself.
Instead I'll tell you this. Instead of telling our kids to be the next Lebron or Kobe, how about asking them to do more than excel at their sport. There will never be another David Robinson, but giving them a fitting role model would be a good place to start.

Sportal.co.nz 21.Mar.2013Getty Images
The surprise run of Sir John Kirwan's men came to a screeching halt when the mammoth pack from Loftus Versfeld barged through the gates of Eden Park to hand them their first defeat two weeks ago.
It was the first time many of the young Blues, including six debutants, had been pitted against such brutal force, and won't be blamed for feeling a little rattled by the experience.
Kirwan believes a similar challenge awaits them in the form of a wounded Waratahs side desperate to defend its home turf this weekend.
"The Waratahs are really physical; they want to play a physical game.
They're probably the most physical of the Australian sides," said Kirwan.
"It's going to be a really physical battle, and we need to win that battle."
Kirwan has 'learned' from certain mistakes which contributed to their previous loss and will revert to the starting line-up that achieved opening wins over the Hurricanes and Crusaders.
Tight forwards James Parsons, Tom McCartney and Culum Retallick will bolster the pack while Peter Saili, Chris Noakes and George Moala used last week's bye to recover from niggling injuries.
All Black lock Anthony Boric has also been confirmed to return to the bench after spending a year out of the game with a neck injury.
The hope is that the introduction of experienced personnel will enhance the execution of a game plan which Kirwan admitted 'did not work' when his makeshift XV attempted to use it against the Bulls.
"We've refined it [the plan] and obviously taken a look at everything over the break. We just need to make sure that we tick all the right technical things when we play," added Kirwan.
However, he is wary of cunning plan by Waratahs coach Michael Cheika to alter his team's approach completely and wants his players to be prepared for anything.
Flanker Luke Braid shared the same view and said the Waratahs style of attack requires defences to be alert to intricate passing and running plays.
"South Africans are probably not as deceptive as the Aussie teams. They're big boys but Aussies run great lines; it's just in their nature and how they run," Braid said.
"South Africans are a bit more direct. They get into a big pod and you know where you're going to tackle, whereas there's a lot more deception in an Aussie team.
"We're going to have to be really switched on and be really physical at the same time."
Braid said the Blues are aiming to refocus themselves after they strayed from the winning formula which saw them unbeaten for the first two weeks.
"This whole week has been about getting back to what we do well," Braid added.
"We want to play running rugby and attack as much as possible and go that extra ruck. Because we know that things are going to open up later on."
Past experiences have taught the Blues not to underestimate any side, even if their previous form doesn't warrant respect from opposition.
The Blues were in horrible slump last year ended with the worst season record in franchise history.
Still they were able to upset their last three opponents and deprived the Brumbies of a spot in the play-offs.
Having lost three of their opening four games the Waratahs are edging closer to hitting the panic button, Braid isn't willing to take them lightly.
"I think you've got to look at them as a huge threat and bloody dangerous because any week they're going to get it right because they are a great team," Braid said.
"We've just got to make sure that it's not that week that you play them that they get it right. If they do they're going to be a dangerous side."

Cheers to business manager Charlie Metz and all the members of Plasterers & Cement Masons Local 926 for their volunteer efforts at the PHS stadium remodel. I would venture to say that 95 percent of the readers have absolutely no idea of how demanding and grueling their craft can be. These men are truly skilled craftspeople.
But this is more than about sweat, hard work and sore backs. This is about union members giving back to their community. Lately union-bashing has become full-time sport for many who wish to pad their political resumes or for CEO's looking to acquire that seventh vacation home in some exotic foreign location. I can almost certainly guarantee that those folks have never poured 2,400 square feet of concrete in a day's time!
Charlie and his men are a vital part of our community. They live here, raise children here, pay taxes here, support veteran organizations here, become active church members here, coach youth sports here, purchase homes and automobiles here and many other diverse activities they are truly invested in our community.
Contrast this to many of the recent "boom workers" who have descended on West Virginia. Sure they may help a landlord prosper and dine in a few local restaurants/bars, but they more than likely will never become truly invested in our community.
Charlie's men work hard all week, often 10 or 12 hours a day and many times are asked to work Saturdays and Sundays so a project can be put back on schedule. They are deserving of a decent wage, medical insurance and a pension for when they are older. These are just simple, basic parts of employment that every worker should have. This is a worker's security and when a worker is secure many, like Charlie's, chose to give back to their community a little of the good fortune they have been blessed with.
As election season nears, one will hear the same old worn out false rhetoric about how "unions have outlived their usefulness" or how they "damage a community's bottom line." Well don't believe the lies, often being funded by business partners/political donors that reside out of state or even out of our country.
The main thing to remember is the fine workers that donated to a project and their community as you walk that wonderful new sidewalk to a Big Red home game!

For my part I honour with the name of virtue the habit of acting in a way troublesome to oneself and useful to others. [Stendhal "de l'Amour," 1822]Phrase by virtue of (early 13c.) preserves alternative Middle English sense of "efficacy." Wyclif Bible has virtue where KJV uses power. The seven cardinal virtues (early 14c.) were divided into the natural (justice, prudence, temperance, fortitude) and the theological (hope, faith, charity). To make a virtue of a necessity (late 14c.) translates Latin facere de necessitate virtutem [Jerome].

I turned 28 last Friday.
My wife and I are staying in Myrtle Beach all this week to celebrate my birthday, as well as my wedding anniversary (which is today!). I'll let you decide which one of those we're celebrating more.
I've been burning lots of calories playing with my kids in the pool/ocean 4-5 hours every day. I plan on renting a surfboard for a day later on this week, too. Surfing may seem like just a balancing act, but it requires an incredible amount of strength to keep getting up on that board time and time again.
Life has changed so much over the past few years. I'm able to swim for hours. I can haul heavy chairs from our condo to the beach below without trouble. I throw my daughter several feet in the pool like she weighs nothing (45 pounds isn't exactly chump change). I chase after my ever-elusive 8-month old son on the beach, who's getting very mobile these days.
I don't take any of this for granted. I tell my wife all the time, "Welp, this is something else I couldn't have done 100 pounds ago."

235.8 Pounds
I haven't stepped onto this scale in over a month.
The desire and motivation to lose weight has always been there, but so have 12 hour days at the office and 3-straight weeks of rainy, "stay inside and eat snacks with my daughter while watching Dora" weather.
I'm coming out of my slump, though, like I always do.
I've always wanted to be able to say that I was able to lose 150 pounds. The number 150 is arbitrary, but with my body type and height, 194.4 pounds is probably pretty close to my "ideal" weight.
Even though posting has been scarce lately, I've still maintained a fairly active lifestyle. I'm still very much in love with fitness, counting calories, and helping others lose weight — I've just consumed too many calories on a daily basis. Weight loss — and weight gain — comes down to simple math.
It always has and always will.
Ultimately though, it's hard to motivate others and promote calorie counting while weighing 235.8 pounds. It ain't a muscular, ripped 235.8 pounds. It's a soft, slow, and overweight 235.8 pounds.
I'm going to fix that. Not starting tomorrow, after my birthday next week, or after I come back from vacation — but today. Now.
Now has always been the best time to get things done.

Also, bold emphasizes songs a little more awesome than the rest.

The Comment Killa: Woman Drives Four Hours To Shoot/Kill Rude Internet Commenter, Fails
Breana Outhouse Greathouse, 25, procured a firearm and drove 220 miles with the intent of killing an internet commenter that said some really mean things about her online. Pfft -- if I had a dime for every time I loaded up the car with guns & explosives and headed out to kill a commenter get over it, lady.
[Breana] drove several hundred miles from Kansas City, Missouri to Ottumwa, Iowa, to shoot a certain Forrest Jamison, whom she blamed for posting derogatory comments about her on the Internet.
Fortunately her Midwestern odyssey...ended in failure when she was arrested by Ottumwa police for waving her gun around like the unhinged maniac she is.Also, they arrested her mom, Susan Greathouse, 50, for threatening Jamison over the phone.
Awww, they made it a mother/daughter thing! So precious. But seriously, how come whenever I want to kill a commenter it involves an expensive plane ticket, but this chick lucks out with a four hour drive? It isn't fair! Huh? WHAT'D YOU SAY TO ME?! *opening Expedia in a new tab* I'LL CUT YOU.

Tip of the Month
Alternate Hotkey Configurations
This is a tutorial on how to make multiple sets of hotkeys for playing on different characters without changing the hotkeys everytime you log on a different character. It is a little advanced and requires some computer knowledge.
- Start Tibia. Set the hotkeys you wish to use for your first hotkey set then close the client.
- Open the Application Data folder: press Start, then Run and type in %appdata%/tibia/
- Copy and paste the Tibia.cfg file and re-name it to Hotkeys1.cfg
- Repeat steps 1-3 with your second set of alternative hotkeys. Copy and paste Tibia.cfg and change its name to Hotkeys2.cfg. To create more, simply replace the number in the file name to 3, 4, etc.
Note: the Tibia.cfg file contains all settings used by the Tibia client. It is recommended to create a backup so you can recover your settings in case something goes wrong.
Next you will create 2 batch files (*.bat) that you can use to open Tibia with different hotkeys.
- Press Start, then Run and type in notepad %appdata%/tibia/hotkeys1.bat
- Click yes to create new file. In the notepad paste the following:
copy hotkeys1.cfg tibia.cfg /y c: cd "c:\program files\tibia\" start c:\PROGRA~1\tibia\tibia.exe
(Use PROGRA~1 in place of Program Files, because as you cant use quotes with start command, you cant have space in the directory. Use PROGRA~2 in place of Program Files (x86) in case you are using 64-bit Windows with Tibia installed in the 32-bit directory).
- Press Start, then Run and type in "notepad %appdata%/tibia/hotkeys2.bat"
- In the notepad paste the following:
copy hotkeys2.cfg tibia.cfg /y c: cd "c:\program files\tibia\" start c:\PROGRA~1\tibia\tibia.exe
(Use PROGRA~1 in place of "Program Files", because as you cant use quotes with start command, you cant have space in the directory. Use PROGRA~2 in place of Program Files (x86) in case you are using 64-bit Windows with Tibia installed in the 32-bit directory).
- Save both files and create shortcuts on your desktop to the MS-DOS Batch files.
- Rename the shortcuts to whatever you desire.
From now on use the MS-DOS Batch to open Tibia, it will set the hotkeys you configured, open Tibia.exe and the command window will close itself.
To make the shortcut icons look like the Tibia icon, right-click the shortcut and open properties. Select "Change Icon", navigate you your Tibia folder and click Tibia.exe.We don't have a tip for next month yet! Click here to create one!Tips
About TibiaWiki
TibiaWiki is a Wiki project which was started by Erig on November 22, 2004. It has since become one of the largest and most often updated sources of Tibian information on the internet, reaching up to more than 1,900,000 visits a month from which more than 450,000 are absolutely unique (as of 2010, ranking second among all supported/promoted fansites). It is also the most favourite fansite as of this poll. Of course, its popularity is only because of the dedicated people that contribute.
When Erig.net became a Supported Fansite on November 24, 2005, TibiaWiki, being part of that site, became a supported fansite too. However TibiaWiki had an immense slowness during peak times under the old domain because of its popularity among Tibia players. The new domain hosted by Wikia provides a better availability of this well-liked fansite, which has been supported since January 22, 2008. With the introduction of the new fansite programme, TibiaWiki became a promoted fansite, on November 11, 2008.

OSM and DEP will implement new guidance to determine whether mine proposals meet the approximate original contour reclamation, or AOC, rule. No specific dates for this were announced.
OSM will give DEP more specific instructions about what types of post-mining land use development plans are required for operators to receive AOC variances and flatten land. This is due by July 12.
DEP will write new requirements for companies to show that there is a market and need for post-mining land uses they propose. These requirements will be distributed by May 28.
DEP will draw up a new mining permit application that will require more extensive information from companies concerning AOC variances and other issues. This task should be completed by May 21.
DEP will review all existing permits to make sure that they comply with the new post-mining land use and AOC variance guidelines provided by OSM. This will be done within three months of the state receiving the new guidance.
"We are proceeding with diligence on all the issues and intend to keep those dates," Klein said Tuesday.
DEP officials have completed one of the tasks outlined in the report. The agency's computer system has been revised to include information about AOC variances and mining types.
"The resolution of these issues is WVDEP's top priority," said DEP Director Michael Miano.
The OSM report is available on the Internet at www.osmre.gov/mtindex.htm.
