Gnip and Twitter had been playing nicely for a long time, but much like a twin that swallows its sibling in the womb, it was time for Twitter to acquire Gnip.
The analytics firm had been helping Twitter climb into the black. Apparently it did so well that the social media giant developed the means to purchase its partner. Gnip has a proven reputation for utilizing social media feeds, analyzing them, and then making that information financially useful.
There are four companies that have that level of access to Twitter feeds, the others being WordPress, Tumblr, and FourSquare.
Of course, public sites like Facebook can also get access to this information, so what made Gnip a must-have? Twitter's VP of Business Development and Platform Jana Messerschmidt said, "Gnip has played a crucial role in collecting and digesting our public data and delivering the most essential Tweets to partners."
Twitter certainly knows what it's doing in the realm of all things marketing, but even a social media star can use a little help.
Tweeting deeper
Messerschmidt continued, "We believe Gnip has only begun to scratch the surface. Together, we plan to offer more sophisticated data sets and better data enrichments, so that even more developers and businesses big and small around the world can drive innovation using the unique content that's shared on Twitter."
For others who are using Gnip, service will remain the same. They'll still get complete access to Gnip data, but Twitter will help by expanding how much data is gleaned from social media sites.
Until any expansions are made, Twitter gets to sit back and watch the cash roll in from the surplus of tweets of its user base. Chris Moody, CEO of Gnip, says, "We'll be able to support a broader set of cases across a diverse set of users, including brands, universities, agencies, and developers big and small. Joining Twitter also provides us access to resources and infrastructure to scale to the next level and offer new products and solutions."
It seems to be a win-win situation for everyone involved, and that includes stockholders.
Bringing home the bacon
When the acquisition was announced, Twitter's stock shot up by more than ten percent and Wall Street was all a'twitter. That's great news for investors and stockholders who have been watching Twitter stock steadily decline since the beginning of the year.
Now, analysts are saying that Twitter has revamped its financial strategy and has what it takes to be a real money-maker someday.

Move over Vince Vaughn ... DMX just opened up shop on a group of groomsmen heading to their buddy's wedding -- and the footage is AWESOME!
The groom's wedding party ran into X Saturday afternoon in their New York hotel lobby ... and after the rapper posed for some pictures they boarded their party bus -- says one of the groomsmen.
Inspired by the meeting, the group turned on some of DMX's music and egged him to hop aboard ... and that's when the magic happened.
god I love that man ......
He's the ****in man !!
That's nice. I'm totally not into rap, but I like when a celebrity can help make a day a little bit more special.
did he show his penis or run around naked like wild monkey??
That's not a crash. He just elevated the get together from nothing to something. There was nothing to crash.
Love that crazy ****. Hope he is doing well.
He has his issues like we all do but he is not one of these phony entertainers. Real HIp Hop.
Bunch of boring people graced by a rap icon
Doesn't matter how broke a dog is..the dog still roams the screets. Much love
Would have been epic if they took him to the wedding.
That is like the best wedding crash ever. Like a bachelor party extension. Real cool DMX.
He should have just dropped his pants and **** in the middle of the floor and left. That would have been better.
I was there, it was nice.
Dmx seems to be doing alot better now..glad to see it.

Port Authority Gives Go on Parking System Operators
CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- Cincinnati's Port Authority gave the green light to hire parking system operators in a meeting Saturday.
The Port Authority's board of directors held a special meeting to discuss the issue. That is where they authorized the agency to move forward on several key actions regarding the Port Authority's June 21st agreement with the city of Cincinnati to lease and own a portion of the city's public parking system.
The Port Authority can now enter into agreements with Xerox State and Local Solutions, the on-street parking meter operator, and Denison Parking, the off-street operator.
The board members approval also allows the port authority to prepare for the sale of the parking bonds.
The city will use the proceeds from the bond sales, some $105-million and the debt will be repaid with money made leasing the parking.
A closing on the bond sale is expected in November.

Avery Storm - Party on the Roof Top
Artist: Avery Storm
Producer: The Klasix
Album: None (Promo Single)
As the weather warms up in NYC, indie R&B singer Avery Storm has been spending more time atop his apartment building. Contrary to what his new promo single's title may suggest, though, he hasn't been kicking with the homies; he's been gazing into the sky, revisiting memories of his younger sister, who passed away four years ago Saturday. On Party on the Roof Top, The Klasix's subdued keys and midtempo production backs the Jersey native as he gives vent to the whirlwind of grief, guilt, anger and nostalgia that grips him when he reflects on her tragically early death. While the feelings it conjures up are far from pleasant, this joint's raw honesty makes it a powerful, cathartic listen. Roof Top is not attached to a larger project, but if you'd like to hear more from Avery Storm, you can always check out his last DJBooth feature, reader-approved EP cut Easier to Breakup.

Toni Braxton Nude in Playboy: Coming Soon?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
We know Toni Braxton can Dance with the Stars.
But do we wanna see this singer pose without the clothes?
That's the question Braxton herself asked on Twitter last night, as she faces an eight-figure debt and says she has an offer to be "tastefully" featured in Playboy.
Really, Braxton might as well go for it. It's not like she covers herself up much in public anyway.
What do you think? Do you wanna see Toni Braxton naked?
Toni is a bad ass looking sister so why shouldn't she pose for playboy. She still looks great and I think it is a booster to have playboy ask her to pose. Do your thing, Toni.
If playboy comes a calling you should embrace this chance. You are a fine black women.
TO Leo: You have a point but remember when JLo wore that hideous green thing with all her shit hanging (or taped) on her?? That was a LONG time ago, for both of them.
I have to agree i "thought" toni was to good for that but apperently not.. But hey shes grown just like the rest of us..never expected this from her though
Are you kidding? When did Toni Braxton acquire a taste for modesty? The white dress that she wore to the 2001 Grammy Awards left me holding my breath with nothing but embarrassment for her walking across that stage in front of millions of people showing her assess and her liabilities. Posing nude would not be a step down, with her risque sense of dressing,posing for Playboy Magazine is right up her alley. If she hadn't already showed so much, her Playboy offer may have been even more valuable. PEACE!!
It would have been a much bigger seller 10 or 15 years ago but what other options does she have at this point? She could release another greatest hits album.
Agree Xena (princess warrior?? LOL) Even if she is hot, I think she is too good to pose nude and should never even consider it. What is there to think about!!?? Please for the love of God don't go down that path Toni!! Be one of thousands who hasn't done that!
Sure, Toni, then take a stroll on Hollywood Boulevard and pick up a few jobs. Why not. Once you're willing to pose for a porn mag you might as well keep going on the same career path.

Obamacare Is About Morality Or Something
I'd go with the "something". Here's the Washington Post's Colbert King trotting out the "morality" argument
Obamacare – a question of morality
There was a lot of bloviating about the Affordable Care Act on the talk shows last weekend. The Obamacare critics' chief focus was the open-enrollment fiasco, the un-kept presidential promise and the millions of cancellation notices. Overlaying the palaver was the unrestrained glee of health-reform opponents.
Because incompetence, lying, and seeing millions lose their insurance plans is no big deal or something. There's bigger things at play!
The same weekend, in a section of our nation's capital where pompous politicians and self-important opinion-makers seldom venture, the Affordable Care Act was the subject of thanks and praise at the First Baptist Church at Randolph Street and New Hampshire Avenue NW.
Funny how liberals have no problem mixing religion and State when it serves their purposes.
The talk-show criticism and the pulpit defense crystallized the Obamacare debate. Drawn into sharp relief is the struggle taking place in this country between doing what is right and good and an unashamed indulgence in the immorality of indifference.
The issue couldn't be put more simply.
Forty-nine million Americans do not have health insurance. For many of them, the ability to deal with their illnesses and injuries depends on their ability to pay. Lacking the money, some of them just go without the care they need. Better to put food on the table for the kids than to check out that awful pain in the gut. Can't afford to do both.
So it's 49 million now? Interestingly, the CBO predicts that 30 million will still be without health insurance in 2020. The Obama administration's mid-line prediction is that 90 million will lose their insurance plans, and have to switch. And what are they switching to? Plans with higher premiums and deductibles with smaller medical networks. Seems moral to me.
Gaining access to no-cost preventive services to stay healthy, which Obamacare provides, is not a sign of indifference. Neither is giving senior citizens discounts on their prescription drugs, or allowing young adults to get health insurance on their parents' plan, or ending insurance company abuses. Those steps represent the caring actions of government.
How about not including the best medical facilities in the network? How about jacking up the cost for young healthies to pay for other? Creating situations for government abuses, like the "death panels", ie, a group of un-elected bureaucrats at the Independent Payment Advisory Board which will make decisions about your medical care? Most Democrats voted against Medicare Part D in 2003. What happens when Mom and Dad can't keep their insurance, and are now paying through the nose for their 25 year old "kid"? What about the bulk of Obamacare applicants being moved into Medicaid? How about the morality of mandating that citizens of the USA purchase costly, substandard insurance or be penalized simply for breathing?

Gayle's found himself a fan, anyway:
"Tait said he could not disagree with Gayle's statement as his playing future seems closely tied to the shorter forms of the game.
"It's a pretty big call coming from a Test captain, pretty amusing really, but I think he's probably spot-on," Tait said."
So can Tait get on the next flight and play IPL now or has his contract not yet run out?

I agree it's strange he's in there too, he doesn't seem to provide a lot to the team. But I wouldn't have Tait in there for him either. Given Tait's action requires him to do a lot of bowling for him to achieve a little bit of consistency, and every time he does a lot of bowling he breaks down it seems, I think the decision is a good one.

sources close to him said he was deeply disappointed and exploring a variety options to re-start his career. He had expressed a desire to come back for the latter stages of the IPL and has even discussed using his father's English heritage to secure a position in county cricket.
If he were to play in the county championship as a non-overseas player he's a de facto Pom, even if we can't call him up for 4 years after his last appearance for Australia.
In practice, of course, the chances of him playing for us are zero.

Contracts are like relationships. You are either in one or not. If someone breaks up with you then overnight you go from sleeping with them, to not being able to touch them.

Getting started with iPhone development
// May 6th, 2010 // iPhone Development
So I'm finally getting serious about learning how to build iPhone apps. I've looked it over in the past and have created a few Hello World apps to get my feet wet, but I'm finally getting into the meat and potatoes with some real programming.
I'm a visual learner, but most iPhone dev info on the internet is forum posts or text tutorials. I've been considering hiring a developer to walk me through the whole process as he creates a more complex app, but I finally found a good video tutorials site, MyCodeTeacher.com. It's only $10 a month. The videos aren't groundbreaking, and I've watched almost all of them in 2 days, but they are covering enough material to get me up to speed to the point where I can pick the rest up through documentation and forums. Not bad for $10.
The other resource that's been great is this quick tutorial on Objective C. All the weird syntax in iPhone app code is actually making sense now.
2 Responses to "Getting started with iPhone development"
Great to hear that you're on the iPhone scene!
Check out Three20 (http://github.com/facebook/three20), a library created by the Face developers. It does a lot of the heavy lifting and provides some better animation (once you work out the kinks).
Happy iPhoning!

Preemption and Rent Dissipation under Bertrand Competition
AbstractWe study a simple duopoly model of preemption with multiple investments and instantaneous Bertrand competition on a market of finite size driven by stochastic taste shocks. Different patterns of equilibria may arise, depending on the importance of the real option effect. If the average growth rate of the market is close to the risk free rate, or if the volatility of demand shocks is high, no dissipation of rents occur in equilibrium, despite instantaneous Bertrand competition. If these conditions do not hold, the equilibrium investment timing is suboptimal, and the firms' long-run capacities may depend on the initial market conditions. Our conclusions contrast sharply with standard rent dissipation results.

Hi there,
I want to gather as many KB articles and FAQs together to add to our intranet to hopefully start reducing visits to the IT department. Especially as we have just been reduced from 2.5 people to 1 person, me!
Can anyone point me to and handy resources for collating such a things or even offer to share what you already have!?!
Any help etc is greatly appreciated as always!
This is something i would like to know, i was thinking maybe a wiki but it would be nice to use something that is specifically made for the job.
Does it really matter? Surely the a KB database should cover all OS and software packages?You need to give a bit more info about your set-up. Is it XP, 7, MAC? Do you use SIMS or CMIS?
From what i understand he is not looking for the tips but the software or products to put it all together.
Hi there,
soz for the delay in responding, sick little daughter to look after.
FN-GM - You've hit the nail on the head. I was wondering if there was some sort of wiki where I could have a look at common faults and cherry pick / alter slightly to suit my needs.
I'm starting from scratch here and as I'm obviously not going to have too much time on my hands now I thought that maybe there were existing places that may contain IT related KB articles.
I'm looking for things like:
Why won't my PC switch on? - Is it plugged in and switched on at the socket? etc etc . . .
I would be interested in something like this. Like i say i thought about a Wikimedia wiki put there must be something better out there?

Have you got a nearby mountain or forest? Go out and discover the magic of Mother Nature! Make trekking into the next hobby. You may get a great amount of exercise and see some of the things that you could have missed out on by not venturing into the wilderness. A great activity that a great many many people have is looking at. Studying is amazing mainly because it can transport you into an additional community. You can also basically go through almost anyplace, as long as it's tranquil. There are numerous different styles as well so you'll make sure to get a thing that you'll like.
If you try to turn your hobby into side income, then see if you can at least turn a profit three out of five years. If you try to claim hobby income that loses money every year, the IRS is likely to assume you're just going for inappropriate tax breaks and deny you. Check out how much content there is about your personal hobby online. If it is kind of a niche thing without a lot of websites, you might be able to dominate the search engine rankings with minimal optimization. You do your hobby because you love it, of course, but if a website about it can make you a little money, that's more you have to spend on your passion. For those who have a pastime that involves pencils and marker pens, be sure to retail store them appropriately. You can even get rid of any frustration regarding which color is which by saving them sideways rather than up-right. Keeping them placed sideways also inhibits the ink cartridge from pooling or drying out.
A hobby that needs you to think will in the end enable you to get functioning in the direction of becoming a creative thinker. It helps to maintain your thoughts consistently working and operating towards new options. The truth is, the more you believe outside the box, the more it becomes clear that your imagination is caused by your inner opinions. If you are starting a hobby, you need to also become as organized a person as you can be. Hobbies typically mean lots of things. Literally, lots of stuff will accumulate around your home. Whether that's coins, stamps, books, yarn, or something else entirely. You are going to need to keep the clutter chaos at bay to really enjoy the hobby over time. This'll make you and your family very happy.
Having a hobby is a great way to pass the time and keep yourself occupied. However, finding the right hobby for you can be difficult. How do you know which activity you will find most enjoyable? For some great advice about finding a fun hobby, read the following list of tips.
Why not transform physical fitness into a pastime? This could in fact incorporate a number of hobbies all into a single. It is possible to enroll in a fitness center, and you can be involved in different athletics. Probably it will get you inside the pool more frequently. Physical fitness is something which includes almost everything to do with lifestyle a good life.
Get a metal sensor. Nothing brings a family group with each other such as the hunt for dropped prize. A tiny purchase in a metal detector can go a long way. Youngsters especially appreciate utilizing the devices. Often steel finding can generate the loved ones a number of added money to assist you to discover new places to discover collectively.

In preparation for the draft tonight I am rehashing some of the Bills needs, team goals and draft goals. The Draft Countdown Series has so far covered the following articles:
10: Top Ten Players of the Draft (UPDATED)
9: The Ninth Pick History
8: The Eight Teams Drafting Before Us
7: The Seven Free Agents to Target
6: The Sixth Playoff Spot
5: The Five Veterans to Decide
Free Safety, Right Tackle and Wide Receiver are the prime spots where the Bills have question marks at starters. In addition, Tight End may have a new starter given all the hype over drafting a prospect early in the draft. Positions like defensive end (Jerry Hughes is likely to see a lot of playing time) and punter could use competition, but the Bills don't need to go all out on a pick early on (BPA could prove otherwise). As such we could get by with a later pick for these areas. Let's break down the big needs…
Free Safety
Of the defensive backs on the roster, the Bills have Da'Norris Searcy as their most experienced starter at safety with mixed success subbing in for an injured Byrd last year. The Bills drafted two rookies in 2013 that can compete with Searcy with Duke Williams and Jonathan Meeks. Also in the mix is free agent addition Corey Graham who has had a lot of success as a nickel/#2 corner with the Ravens in the past.
When it comes to the draft, selecting safeties are perhaps the least reliable in terms of knowing whose going when and prospects panning out. There are a few potential mid/late first round players in terms of safeties and converted corners that can excel in zone coverage. I'd doubt the Bills will be spending a first or second round pick to address the area, but if the right guy is there afterwards, don't be shocked if the Bills take one off the board.
Day 1: Clinton-Dix, Pryor, Ward
Day 2: Joyner, Bailey, Bucannon, Brooks, Breeland, Reynolds
Day 3: Boston, Exum, Cockwell, Sunseri, Dowling
Right Tackle
Erik Pears has been an okay starter in the past but, has struggled for stretches over the past few seasons. Additionally the guy we thought that could usurp him, Chris Hairston, has been sidelined with medical condition(s) unknown so his availability is up in the air despite some promising looks in 2012. The bright side is that the Bills have a young stud at left tackle in Cordy Glenn, but could still use some depth.
This draft has tackles galore and what helps is that the Bills are not having to look for a left tackle. It is a lot harder for a right tackle to switch to left, but not as difficult the other way around. Further helping the Bills is the fact that there are fewer teams needing to draft a tackle ahead of us although this really depends upon there being a few QBs being taken beforehand.
Day 1: Robinson, Matthews, Lewan, Martin
Day 2: Moses, Kouandjio, Mewhort, James, Richardson, Turner
Day 3: Patchan, Hurst, Schofield
Wide Receiver
The Bills just brought in Mike Williams (and his hefty contract from the Bucs). This means though that the Bills have a bit of a logjam at wide receiver. By that I mean the Bills have a ton of wide receivers that fit the #2 WR mold perfectly: Robert Woods, the aforementioned Mike Williams and Stevie Johnson (who also costs a pretty penny). But what they lack is a dominating #1 (tall) receiver for E.J. Manuel to target along the sideline.
This draft features an excellent corps of receivers, but if they want to go big, they'd be better off doing so in the early rounds. Obviously your better (#1) receivers will go early, but they could wait a while longer from a tall prospect given the pool of veterans the Bills have currently to add a red-zone target.
Day 1: Watkins, Evans, Beckham Jr.
Day 2: Benjamin, Robinson, Matthews, Moncrief, Latimer, Bryant
Day 3: Coleman, Street, Janis, Washington, Hoffman
Tight End
There is a great argument for nabbing a tight end early to give Manuel another tall target. (Do not be surprised if the Bills take Ebron in the first round especially if a tackle is not available.) Scott Chandler has provided a breath of fresh air from the last decade, but he has limitations especially with his blocking. In addition, more two tight end formations are being used to provide mismatches; Smith, Gragg and Moeaki, the Bills depth TEs have not seen a lot of playing time.
We have a lot of receiving tight ends and a good number of blocking TEs, but few are balanced evenly. At the same time though, this is probably the best class of tight ends in the last several years. Ebron is a great receiving threat (and okay blocker), but if the Bills decide to pass over him, they still have several decent options to choose from.
Day 1: Ebron
Day 2: ASJ, Niklas, Amaro, Fiedorowicz
Day 3: Lynch, Gilmore, Rodgers, Grimble, Duncan, Webster, Lyerla
With these four positions settled, the Bills will stand a better chance of winning games in the upcoming 2014 season. But in order to do that, we need to be able to win against some tough opponents and that all starts with the three teams in our division.
Go Bills!

UPDATE: Jefferies Initiates CyrusOne at Buy on New Presence, Business Strategy
In a report published on Tuesday, Jefferies analyst Omotayo Okusanya initiated coverage on CyrusOne (NASDAQ: CONE) with a Buy rating and a $25 price target.
In the report, Jefferies stated, "We believe CONE's focus on being the low cost data center provider of choice for Fortune 1000 companies (especially in the Oil and Gas industry) is a key differentiation versus its peer group. CONE's stock also offers compelling value given our expectation of ~29% annual FFO/sh growth from 2013-2015 via portfolio lease-up and potential development projects."
CyrusOne closed on Monday at $20.89.

Here we are on a winters morning in the Bear Pit of Sheffields Botanical Gardens opened in 1836. The gardens have undergone a major restoration programme in the last few years and are now back to their former grandeur. A new addition is a lifesize statue of a bear in the pit, which I don't think was present before the restoration.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Protest over failing notebook GPUs
By Darien Graham-Smith in San Jose
Posted on 26 Aug 2008 at 03:39
As Jen-Hsun Huang delivered his NVISION keynote speech at the San Jose Centre for Performing Arts, protestors gathered outside to draw attention to Nvidia's response to problems with its mobile GPUs.
It was reported in July that some laptops with Nvidia discrete graphics chips were failing due to overheating, but the company has refused to reveal precise details of which models are affected.
This lack of communication has infuriated consumers, and some have formed protest groups - such as the My Nvidia Fail bloggers, who were handing out flyers (pictured) at today's event - to press Nvidia to be more open with the public.
Nvidia unable to respond
A spokesman for Nvidia's mobile graphics division, speaking to reporters at the weekend, admitted the company's response had been unsatisfactory, but explained that his group's hands were tied.
"The truth is," he explained, "our obligations to our partners limit what we can say. We need to leave announcements to our partners like Dell and HP."
"I know there's frustration, and it would make my job easier if I could give out the facts that I know, but we have obligations to our partners. We discuss it constantly, and the company would like to be more upfront about this - but we can't be."
Huang accepts partial responsibility
Nvidia President and Chairman Jen-Hsun Huang was also tackled on the subject after his keynote speech at NVISION, but insisted that the company's behaviour had been honorable.
"When I found we had this problem, I went to the OEMs and said 'let's fix this'," he protested. "In fact, I put a reserve of $200M in place, and I said to the OEMs: 'If you fix it, I'll pay you back'."
"Nobody in the industry has ever done that before," he continued. "Not Marvell, not Broadcom, not AMD... but if the consumer has a failure we'll get it replaced right away."
He rejected the suggestion that Nvidia's public silence was an attempt to evade responsibility. "The first person in the world that talked about this problem was me," he reminded reporters. "I put out the first press release. And I'll stand up and be partly responsible."
"But the OEMs are partly responsible too," he went on. "And if anybody else wants to volunteer to be responsible, I'm happy for them to be a part of it as well."

We had some big moments in Major League Baseball this season, but only one moment could be called the best and that honor goes to the Tampa Bay Rays and Evan Longoria for his big walk-off homer against the Yankees in the final game of the season.
The "All-American" pastime is for all Americans, except for ones that might make the players horny. New dress codes were introduced for reporters and it's real obvious from this story what they're looking to avoid. More after the jump.
Future Hall of Fame Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter's personal life has come under the spotlight recently but this new story proves he is one of the all-time greats and it's got nothing to do with baseball.
There was much consternation in St. Louis last week after Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols made his way toward a glittering paycheck with the Los Angeles Angels that will pay him more than $250 million over the course of 10 years. While most residents of the angered city saw an opportunity to set fire to pricey MLB clothing, one church saw an opportunity to turn a negative into a positive.
The tremors felt around Southern California on Thursday didn't come from an earthquake. The seismic activity came courtesy of all the money the Los Angeles Angels dropped on Albert Pujols, the prize of this year's free agent class.

The Marlins unveiled many new things at a press event last Friday — a new name (Miami instead of Florida), a new manager in Ozzie Guillen and a new look in game day attire. In sad, but related news, every old person in the state of Florida had a massive stroke at the sight of the new uniforms.

Family Enduro
July 26, 2014
Trail Boss: Dan Banks 651-462-2588
The intent of the Family Enduro is to help teach the sport of Enduro's to young riders and older riders who are new to off road riding. Enduro computers are not allowed, only an odometer and a watch will be needed. The spirit of the Family Enduro is to have fun and treasure the time you ride with your entire family.
The course length is between 10 to 20 miles. We will be using the timekeeping format. One of our intentions is to teach the new Enduro riders how to keep time at a traditional Enduro. The speed averages for these events are 12 to 18 miles per hour depending on the terrain and length of the sections. There is a break (reset or pause) in between each loop to allow the participants a break and to allow for the sweep riders to clear the trail.
No lights or license is needed. The gas stop is 10 miles apart, so even the smallest gas tank can make a loop with no problems.
As a typical Enduro, the checkpoints are secret. Each loop will have an emergency (tie breaker) check. Mileage markers will be posted through the loop as some riders may not have an odometer on their bike. In addition to the secret and emergency checks, we will use observation checks - part of the Enduro experience.
Class structure for the Family Enduro

Exhibition class: Riders who want to be scored, but not interested in a trophy. If you want to ride for fun to provide support to your child or family you will be assigned to this class.
Micro and Macro will start on later rows to minimize traffic and passing on the trail.
In general, parents and support riders should ride BEHIND their child. It is easier to monitor their riding and helps the rider develop a better understanding of timekeeping and strategy if they attempt to ride the event on their own as much as possible.

Tuki Carter - Munchies
Artist: Tuki Carter
Producer: M Stacks
Album: Atlantafornication
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 7 total votes )
Tuki Carter's got the Munchies, but it's going to take more than a bag of Funyuns to satisfy his appetite. On the latest leak off his forthcoming solo set, the Hollyweerd emcee pays lustful tribute to a woman whose affection he's been craving, flowing over the hazy, guitar-laced production of M. Stacks. Digging this blunted selection? More quality tunes await on Carter's Atlantafornication LP, scheduled to hit the 'net February 24.

OTHER OPINION: Free speech that's ugly
The beauty of the First Amendment is often most vibrantly expressed under the ugliest of circumstances. Such was the case Wednesday when the Supreme Court gave its blessing to the insensitive acts of a tiny church that has made a name for itself by mounting protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers.
