To begin the New Year Lakay Publishing is looking to bless one lucky reader with a brand New Mercedes-Benz. This is part of the organization's efforts to begin engaging readers more. As they prepare to release new titles in 2014, Lakay Publishing is first wants to solidify their relationship with current supporters and welcome new ones they grow their brand. For the past 3 years Lakay Publishing has been in quiet existence and this is in a way their coming out. They are on the scene and what better way to drive the point home than with a new Benz.
This holiday season, the organization plans to give away a new car to one lucky reader as they kick of their quest for visibility. They will offer several other prizes including desirable electronics and books, which buyers will unlock over the course of the event. The ultimate prize however is the car which most are looking forward to.
The event will last until the end of the year, but earlier buyers will get opportunities to go things to get additional entries and we are exploring the opportunity to add a few along the way prizes just to keep things fun. There will be somewhat of mini promotions within the event to keep people engaged, for example, all buyers in the before 5:00 PM 11/27 hours will get a second entry.
As the organization grows their goal is to create a community that will grow with them. "There is no substitute for brand loyalty and the plan is to do more than just attract new readers, we want to keep them." The publishing industry has experience many changes in the last few years, but keeping readers interested in reader is vital to the survival of the industry. The days of just putting out a good book and sitting back are gone. You must adjust and keep working to keep up with readers.

Many interactive features on web pages are produced by integrating small programming scripts into your HTML code. These are usually created using a programming language called JavaScript. JavaScript is significantly more difficult to learn than HTML, but it's well within the reach of anyone who already has some programming skills.
Before you run out to buy a JavaScript book, however, take a look at the JavaScript functions that are integrated into Dreamweaver. With a few clicks, you can implement some common JavaScripts into your code without learning the language itself. Dreamweaver calls these functions "behaviors." Dreamweaver includes about two dozen behaviors. They allow you to:
- Change one image to another when a mouse rolls over it or when it is clicked.
- Open a pop-up window or a message.
- Play a sound.
Show or hide a part of the page called a layer.
The Dreamweaver development community has created many other behaviors that you can download and install into Dreamweaver; some of these are free, and some must be purchased. You can browse these at the Adobe Exchange website.
- Open the Behaviors palette from the Windows menu.
- Click the plus sign at the top of the palette. Dreamweaver shows a list of possible behaviors.
- Mouse over Show Events For - near the bottom of the list. Dreamweaver pops open a second list of browsers and browser versions. For most purposes, the HTML 4.01 option is the best choice. Once selected, Dreamweaver will only let you select items that it can build to support the browsers you selected.
Creating an image rollover
Image rollovers are a quick way to make your web pages more interesting and more usable. When visitors get visual feedback that something is clickable, they are more likely to go ahead and click. You can use the image rollover behavior to change an image to another when it is moused over or clicked over.
Before you start working in Dreamweaver, you must have the images you want to use ready. Be sure the two images are the same size! If not, use an image editing program to make the appropriate changes. Put the images in your web folder and let's get started:
- Open an existing web page or begin a new one.
- Select Image Objects > Rollover Image from the Insert menu. Dreamweaver opens the Insert Rollover Image window.
- Give your image a name (so Dreamweaver knows which image to apply the behavior to) and use the Browse buttons to select the Original and Rollover images.
- Make sure the Preload rollover image box is checked. This means that the hidden (rollover) image loads when the page is downloaded, making the rollover work faster.
- Fill in the Alternate text you want to use. This should be descriptive text that explains the image, like "Company logo," or "Picture of two dogs." If the image has text on it, use that as your Alternate text.
- Fill in the URL or web page you want to display when the image is clicked. You can use the Browse button to link to a file on your own website or type in the full URL. Don't forget to include the http://.
- Click OK.
Dreamweaver inserts the image rollover and associated HTML code into your web page. To see the rollover work, you need to preview your web page in a browser. Hit F12 or use the Globe icon at the top of the file window to open a preview.
Creating pop-ups
Dreamweaver also has behaviors that let you create a pop-up message or a pop-up window. A word of caution: Many web browsing tools and services block pop-ups on the theory that they usually contain annoying information. Think hard about whether to use a pop-up window since it's almost certain some of your users won't see it.
To create a pop-up:
- Highlight an image or some text on your page.
- Type "javascript:;" into the Link box in the Properties palette. This creates the trigger for opening the pop-up message but doesn't take the user to another web page.
- Open the Behaviors palette from the Windows menu.
- Click the plus sign at the top of the palette. Dreamweaver opens a list of possible behaviors you can use.
- Select Popup Message from the list. Dreamweaver opens the Popup Message Window.
- Type the message you want to appear and click OK when you are done. Dreamweaver places the code for the pop-up message in the HTML page.
- Preview your page and click the link to make sure the pop-up message appears.
Now, you may be thinking: "Boy, that's an ugly box! Can't I make that look better?" The answer is no, not using the pop-up message box, because you can't define any of its attributes. But, you can create another web page with the same kind of content and open it. The difference between a pop-up web page and a simple pop-up message box is that you can decide what toolbars, scrollbars and other sizing attributes will appear on the pop-up web page. For this, we need to look at the pop-up window behavior:
- Your pop-up window is essentially a normal web page anyhow, so go ahead and create a web page that contains the content of the pop-up window. Save this page in your web folder.
- Create a second web page and select the text or image you want users to click in order to open the pop-up window.
- Type "javascript:;" into the Link box. This runs the code for the behavior without taking the user to a new web page.
- Open the Behaviors palette from the Windows menu.
- Click the plus sign at the top of the palette. Dreamweaver opens a list of possible behaviors you can use.
- Select Open Browser Window from the list. Dreamweaver opens the Open Browser Window window.
- Use the Browse button to select the pop-up window web page you created in step 1.
- Set a width and height in pixels for the new window.
Choose among the available Attributes:
- Navigation toolbar. The set of buttons at the top of a browser window that includes the Back, Home and other buttons. Leaving this unchecked means this toolbar won't be visible in your pop-up window.
- Location toolbar. Also called the address toolbar. This is the box showing the URL of the current web page. Leaving this unchecked means the web address won't be visible.
- Status bar. The slim bar at the bottom of a browser window that shows the load status of the page or the location of a link you have your mouse over. Leaving this unchecked means the status bar won't be visible in your pop-up window.
- Menu bar. The bar at the top of a browser window that includes choices like File, Edit and View. Leaving this unchecked makes the menu bar invisible.
- Scrollbars as needed. Clicking this allows your users to scroll content horizontally and vertically. If you leave this unchecked, they won't be able to scroll.
- Resize handles. Clicking this gives your users the ability to change the size of the window. Leave these unchecked, and they can't change the window size.
- Give the window a name. This is useful if you want to open another web page in the same window. For example, if your web page displays three thumbnails, and your pop-up window shows larger versions of them, using the same window name opens those larger photos in the same browser window instead of in three new browser windows.
- Click OK. Dreamweaver places the code for the pop-up window behavior in your page.
- Preview your page to test whether the pop-up works.
To edit a pop-up behavior, open the Behaviors palette from the Windows menu and click to select the behavior trigger (usually a link) in your web page. You'll see the behavior listed in the Behavior palette. Double-click to open it for editing.
Creating a navigation bar
Navigation bars exist on nearly every website. They are the visual representation of the website's content - a way for the user to get quickly from one section to another. You can build your navigation bar of text, images, or a combination of these. Dreamweaver has a built-in tool for constructing a navigation bar using images.
Dreamweaver uses a button metaphor for each navigation item. There are four possible "states" for each button:
- Up. This is the default state for the button that is displayed when the button is not in use.
- Over. This is the image to be displayed when the cursor is placed over the button but before it is clicked. This usually alerts the user that the item is clickable.
- Down. This image appears from the actual moment the button is clicked to when the mouse button is released. It lets users know they have triggered an action.
- Over while down. This image is displayed when the pointer is rolled over the Down image after the button has been clicked. (This is almost never used.)
You don't have to use all four button states in your navigation bar, but they are all built into the Dreamweaver navigation bar tool.
Each of these button states requires you to have an appropriate image, so you need to spend some time in your graphics editing application preparing your images before you can build your navigation bar in Dreamweaver. It might make sense, for example, to use the same text but apply a glow, an embossing, a color shift or a shadow effect. While you prepare you images, remember these tips:
- Each button state must be the same dimension as the others. For example, if the Up state of your button is 75 pixels wide and 15 tall, the others must all be exactly the same.
- If your buttons will have text on them, make sure the text is in the same place on all your buttons (whether you choose to center it or have it flush left or right). It's very disconcerting if the text shifts position when the cursor is placed over it, or when you click on it.
Give each image representing a state an understandable name. For example, if your basic image is named "home," you might name your states:
- home_up.gif
- home_over.gif
- home_down.gif
- home_over_while_down.gif
Here's how to use the Dreamweaver image navigation tool:
- Click in the location you want the navigation bar to appear in your web page.
- Choose Image Objects > Navigation Bar from the Insert menu. Dreamweaver opens the Insert Navigation Bar window. The Insert Navigation Bar window displays all the navigation bar items in the Nav Bar elements bar and the specifics of each item in the fields below. When first opened, the only item displayed is "unnamed1."
- Give the element a name in the Element name box.
- Use the Browse button to locate the image you want to use for the Up state of this navigation item. Repeat for each of the states you plan to use. You don't have to use all of them!
- Type the Alternate text for the navigation item. This should usually read the same thing as the button (i.e., Home, News, Photos, etc.).
- Type the URL of file name you want the navigation item to link to. You can also use the Browse button to locate the file on your computer.
- If it isn't already checked, select Preload images. This ensures that the browser downloads each of the images at the time that the page loads rather than when your user tries to use the button. If you don't preload your images, your users will experience lag before the new button state is downloaded.
- Select whether you want to create a horizontal or vertical navigation bar.
- If you want to add another navigation item, click the plus sign above the Nav bar elements box and repeat steps 3-7 for the new item. Repeat until all your navigation elements are listed in the Nav bar elements box.
- If you need to make corrections to a navigation item, select it in the Nav bar elements box and correct the fields below.
- When finished, click OK. Dreamweaver closes the Insert Navigation bar window and places the navigation into your web page.
- Be sure to preview the page in a web browser to make sure it is behaving correctly. Press F12 or use the Preview button at the top of the work space to open the page in a web browser.
- To make corrections and changes or to add or remove navigation bar items, select any element in the navigation bar and choose Navigation Bar from the Modify menu. Dreamweaver will open the Modify Navigation Bar window and you can make your changes.

Albany - A section of Albany that's seen a lot of business turnover will soon get another wave of new businesses.
Two years ago we did a story at North Slappey Boulevard and West Broad Avenue where Rusty's Midtown Grill and Angel's Nest were new to the scene. Since then, they've both shut down.
We are told a Mexican restaurant will open in the Angel's Nest location next year and a pizza place called Roma Aroma will open up in the next few months.
Chamber of Commerce President Tim Martin says that intersection is a challenging spot for businesses because of the high traffic volume. He says "That's kind of intuitive, but that's part of the problem. It has to be easy to get in an out of locations and if it's a challenge, folks will drive onto the next location."
Across the street in the Brooks Plaza, the former Chinese Restaurant and most recently the Bush Cheney Headquarters will soon change.
The owner, Bob Brooks, says there is a contract in the works, he wouldn't say what, but it will not be a restaurant.

Radical Islam Infiltrating US Prisons
AP/FOX News
A former New York prisons official testified Wednesday that radical Muslims have made "sustained efforts" to indoctrinate inmates in America, at the second hearing on Islamic radicalization held by Rep. Peter King.
The first round of King's hearings on domestic threats in March drew passionate protests, and the hearing Wednesday on radicalization in US prisons drew similar objections. Rep. Bennie Thompson (P-MS), the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said at the opening of the hearing that the threat of terrorism from U.S. converts in prison is "small."
Rep. Laura Richardson (D-CA), suggested the hearing was "racist," asking why Muslims in prisons are being targeted as opposed to other religious or ethnic minorities.
But law enforcement officials called to testify said Islamic radicalization in the prison system is a real threat.
Patrick Dunleavy, a retired official in the New York State Department of Correctional Services, said radical Muslims have been trying to convert US inmates to their cause for decades. "Despite appearances, prison walls are porous," he said. "Individuals and groups that subscribe to radical Islamic ideology have made sustained efforts to target inmates for indoctrination."
Kevin Smith, former federal prosecutor in California, cited the case of Kevin James and Levar Washington, who pleaded guilty in 2007 to "conspiracy to levy war against the United States through terrorism." Smith called it a "seditious conspiracy" hatched inside California's prison system.
Michael Downing, a top official in the Los Angeles Police Department, described the conversions as a "phenomena of low volume," but one that holds "high consequence" considering the sheer size of the US prison population. "We do have a problem," he said. "Prisons are communities at risk."
King (R-NY), claims the prisons are a hotbed of radical conversion, but that he's not targeting Muslims. "What I'm targeting is violent terrorists and extremists, and ... the fact is that Al Qaeda itself has said it will recruit within the Muslim-American community. That's the reality."
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, there have been at least four cases of American Muslims being radicalized in prison.

John Anker, a local business owner, who started from scratch before making it big stopped by the NBC 38 studios for WLTZ'S Southern Made segment.
Ankerpak is located in the Old Lithocrome building in Midtown. He tells us he started his business on a dream and a prayer and one of the things he likes to share with other up and coming entrepreneur's is his favorite Winston Churchill quote... "Never, never, ever give up."
"Whenever anybody asks me to share anything, I like to tell of all the battles we've been through as a small business owner. I feel like there's a bigger target on our back than there ever was, but the challenges and trials we've been through over the last 9.5 years has really helped us prepare. I don't really have a fear of failure of going out of business, but I know there are trials ahead of us," Anker says.
But for now he's overcome those trials.
Ankerpak currently employs 70 people, and the packaging center just recently expanded to commercial refrigeration compressors as well.

Pure Pomegranate Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
There are some foods you should consider, regardless of your diet. Whether you are striving to shed unwanted body fat, or trying to pack on pounds of muscle, it is important to get all of the nutrients and antioxidants you need. This is where produce like fruits and vegetables come into the picture. One fruit product you may see in grocery stores and health food shops these days is Pure Pomegranate Juice. The fruit itself is also quite popular. As you may know, pomegranates provide ample antioxidants, as well as fiber and potassium. There are even some Pure Pomegranate capsule formulas available today.
List of Ingredients
100% Pomegranate Juice.
Product Features
Pure Pomegranate is a fruit that can be consumed in its original form or as a juice beverage. According to most distributors of pomegranate products, this juice or fruit provides you with antioxidants that can help prevent disease and illness (such as cancer), as well as other vitamins and minerals. As you may know, antioxidants like polyphenols, help prevent free radical damage. Just so you know, free radicals commonly cause illnesses, skin aging, disease, and other problems. Pure Pomegranate is also stated to promote heart health. Like other pure juices, this product is free of preservatives, artificial coloring, added sugar, and artificial flavors.
Although Pure Pomegranate fruits, juices, and capsule formulas can be good for your overall health, they do not really aid with weight loss or hunger suppression. However, Pure Pomegranate can make a wonderful addition to a nutritious diet plan. You can easily find pomegranate fruit and juice beverages in local grocery stores, supercenters, and organic food shops. Since pomegranate is a sweet fruit, the pure juice beverage is also sweet (this means that it does contain a significant amount of calories from natural sugar).
- Pure Pomegranate promotes heart health.
- This product is high in antioxidants like polyphenols.
- You can find Pure Pomegranate products easily in supermarkets.
- Some men and women may not like the taste of Pure Pomegranate.
- This fruit does not encourage fat burning.
- The natural sugar in Pure Pomegranate products has quite a few calories.
- Some individuals may be allergic to this fruit.
When it really comes down to it, everyone should incorporate fruits into their daily diet plan. This is important because these fruits contain ample antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. These are all needed for good health. Although Pure Pomegranate fruit or juice may not aid with fat loss or hunger suppression, it may help your skin appear younger and healthier, and help prevent sickness and disease. These are certainly factors to keep in mind. As for weight reduction, you should take a look at the various other products on the market today.

A Lincoln military family is in a battle with a rare disease that attacks the nervous system.
The King family is filled with giggles and smiles. An outsider would never know the pain and suffering the entire family has endured this last year.
"I would have to crawl to get anywhere. I could not walk. I could not see or breathe very well," Megan King said.
King suffers from POTS, a rare disorder that attacks the autonomic nervous system. It began during her pregnancy with now 9-month old Perry, and only got worse. When Megan doesn't use a walker to get around her husband carries her. Mike is a military veteran who also holds down the fort at home on top of working full-time and going to school.
"It's been a year and few months now and it's so hard to do it everyday and not know the answer. Not even know why you're going through what you're going through," Mike King said.
The King's only hope now is a treatment center in Texas. The center guarantees just two weeks of treatment can bring an 80-100% recovery. But the trip is expensive, costing around $15,000 and it's not covered by insurance. The King's plan to sell a Harley and their second car to pay for it. And if needed, Megan's engagement ring.
"I kind of looked at my hand and I was like, I don't need this to show that I love him and it's always replaceable," King said.
King is scheduled for treatment in early July and the family is planning to make the trip one way or another, their faith guiding them on the road to recovery.
If you would like to help the family, a fund is set up at Wells Fargo Bank. Donations can be made under "Megan's Road to Recovery." You can also donate online at www.youcaring.com.
*Here is some more information about POTS:
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS) is a syndrome. As such, there is a collection of symptoms that distinguish it. The symptoms are widespread because the autonomic nervous system plays an extensive role in regulating functions throughout the body. Many of these symptoms, such as low blood pressure,* may present only after prolonged standing. Symptoms will vary from person to person. The following is a list of symptoms reported by patients. When possible, we have included the percentage of patients that research reports have experienced a given symptom.
Symptoms presumed to be related to cerebral hypoperfusion:**
Symptoms presumed to be related to autonomic overactivity include the following:**
Sudomotor symptoms include the following:**
Symptoms that may reflect dysautonomia:**
Generalized Complaint symptoms:**
Other symptoms reported in research that are not categorized above include:
The above are symptoms reported by POTS researchers. Other symptoms sometimes reported by POTS patients include:
POTS symptoms can vary from day to day. They tend to multiply and become exaggerated upon upright posture. Blood flow and blood pressure regulation are also abnormal while supine or sitting, but these abnormalities may not be as apparent and may require orthostatic stress to become evident (Stewart & Erickson, 2002). Some patients do report symptoms occurring while sitting or lying down. Heat, exercise and eating can exacerbate symptoms. Women sometimes report an increase in symptoms around menstruation.

For years now we've been talking about it, hearing about it, perhaps even voting for it and planning for it and finally, the time has come that the West Tisbury Library closes its doors in preparation for the renovation that has been a long time coming.
One of the biggest concerns of the library's many patrons is where they will go while the two-year construction takes place. There was speculation about the Grange Hall and talk of trailers and finally an announcement that the library's temporary home will be in Middletown Village, across from Conroy's Apothecary in North Tisbury.
The library's temporary location—a small, cozy space- will offer new materials: adult, children, and young adult books, and a collection of DVDs. There will be WiFi and laptops, passport applications, printing, copying, and faxing available for public use. Inter-library loan will be available and they can and will obtain books you need.
While the majority of their materials will be stored at other institutions (schools, libraries, and non-profit groups) and in storage units at the airport and will not be accessible until they re-open in their new space, the library hopes all will bear with them as the beloved library is transformed and expanded.
Theand staff will remain the same. All books and dvds should be returned to the Middletown Village location after October 15th.

This passed Thanksgiving weekend was one of my favorites. I went the better part of four days without cooking a thing. I got caught up on movies. Completed a lot of prep for the TEDxWomen event I'm hosting, TEDxFremontEastWomen. But most importantly, I indulged my preferred love language – quality time.
If you are unfamiliar with Gary Chapman's book, The 5 Love Languages, the premise is simple. Chapman posits that we each have a preferred way to receive love from our loved ones:
1. Words of Affirmation – Language that praises, comforts, encourages, and reinforces that one is in relationship with someone who adores her or him.
2. Quality Time – Enjoying conversation, activities, and most importantly the true focus of the person you are in relationship with.
3. Gifts -Receiving affection through…well, as the name suggests, gifts.
4. Acts of Service – Appreciating a loved one performing mundane tasks or chores you would otherwise have to do.
5. Physical Touch – Experiencing connection and intimacy through holding handles, arm tickles, cuddling, and so forth.
Although I took the quiz in Chapman's book about a year ago to identify my love language, I have always known that quality time is integral to me sustaining a thriving marriage. Those who know me consider me one of the most scheduled people they know. And yet, when I'm not on the road, I strive to be home at least 3 nights per week by 6PM. My Sundays are sacrosanct – grocery shopping and board games with my husband trump social invites. I know that for me to feel like I'm in a mutually beneficial partnership, my guy and I don't need a lot of time together – but we do need pockets of time where we can be 100 percent present to and for one another.
My problem with The 5 Love Languages is that it has primarily been applied to romantic relationships. And the truth is, my desire for quality time transcends my marriage. There's nothing that woos me professionally like a prospective or satisfied client taking me out for a great meal with quality conversation. And based on my observation, the same is true for most people. We hunger to feel loved by everyone in our lives - our way.
When you can identify the way your people best receive heart-centered communication, it becomes easier for you to inspire and honor them the way they want to be inspired and honored. While you naturally want to be careful of physical touch in the workplace, (prioritizing a gift certificate for a massage over 'touching' an employee who speaks the love language of physical touch!), once you know that a colleague thrives from public recognition, a personalized gift, someone completing one of her or his least sexy tasks, etc., than you have the key tool for engagement.
One of the things that Chapman drives home in The 5 Love Languages is the importance of communicating how you want to be loved. Or in the case of your professional life, valued. So in addition to keeping your eyes peeled, and when in doubt, asking your people the language they prefer (remembering that the way they show you kindness often indicates how they want to receive it), get clear on how people can best communicate with you. And communicate that to them. There is nothing selfish about telling a colleague that you thrive from a thank you note after completing a significant project or relish an after hours meal to connect more deeply. It sets them up to give you what you desire. And just as importantly, it equips them with the knowledge for how to stay in your good graces.

Yesterday I posted some shots from Megan Fox's Elle magazine photoshoot, which were, dare I say it… not that impressive (i.e. not enough skin man!). Well today the rest of the photoshoot was released along with a video, and I'm glad to say that they were saving the best for last. So, without further ado, here's Megan fox looking drop dead sexy and showing off some lovely cleavage in the second batch of photos and screen caps from a behind the scenes video.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Zebra Beautiful Color The sheets are organic and a beautiful color but they are very scratchy. I am hoping that several washes will soften them up. If not I am going to be very disappointed. They were not a cheap date! August 19, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by harmony123 too rough and scratchy I spent the extra money on these sheets because they were organic and used an eco-dye instead of synthetic. I love the color and the look of them, yet very disappointed in the feel of them; very rough and scratchy.

how can I tell what color tidal is?
I'm looking at the cotton sheets (a perfect mix with the striped sheets). There is a photo of 7 sheets piled on each other and separate photos of individual colors (but not all of them). No where are the colors identified. I'm assuming iris is purple, is the tidal blue? Before I spend the money I want to be sure I'm getting the right color. Thanks

Mixing Medications: Over-the-Counter and Stimulants
"My child takes medication for ADHD. Is it safe to give her over-the-counter medications for colds and so on? Are there any that would be unsafe?"
Most of the over-the-counter medications used to treat colds and fevers can be used safely while taking an ADHD drug. If your daughter takes an amphetamine (brand names Adderall, Dexedrine), you may want to avoid giving her antihistamines. Amphetamines may counteract the sedative effect of antihistamines, and this interaction could be dangerous.
You should also avoid mixing alkalinizing agents, or antacids, with amphetamines, as they can increase the absorption of the stimulant. Neither reaction appears to happen with methylphenidate (brand names Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana).

Tischer Creek at Twilight Time Lapse
By David Cowardin on May 17, 2012 in Outdoors, Photos, Videos
Last night I set my hammock underneath a footbridge in Tischer Creek to sleep over trickling water and under a starry sky. Using LED lights I lit the water and the hammock and came out with this time lapse. I hope to try this again but with different camera settings so I can capture star traces in the sky.

Bantamweight alert! If there is one bout on the card other than the main event that is almost guaranteed to be exciting, it's this one. Potential superstar vs. well-rounded grinder. The winner will be in line for a UFC bantamweight title shot. Renan Barao (27-1, 1 NC, 2-0 UFC) meets Scott Jorgensen (13-4, 2-0 UFC).
Jorgensen currently sits at number five at bantamweight in the USA Today/BE Consensus Rankings, while Barao is in the number seven spot. With the three and six spots belonging to guys that are dropping to flyweight, the winner of this bout is almost guaranteed the number three spot and a fight with Dominick Cruz or Urijah Faber. This bantamweight UFC 143 fight will be the second bout of the main card, and will be aired live on pay-per-view. The PPV broadcast begins at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
How do these two stack up?
Barao: 25 years old | 5'7" | 70" reach
Jorgensen: 29 years old | 5'4" | 66" reach
What have these two done recently?
Barao: W - Brad Pickett (SUB) | W - Cole Escovedo (UD) | W - Chris Cariaso (SUB)
Jorgensen: W - Jeff Curran (UD) | W - Ken Stone (KO) | L - Dominick Cruz (UD)
How did these two get here?
Renan "Barao" Pegado is a 25-year-old Brazilian that entered the sport in mid-2005. He lost his very first bout by split decision, and...hasn't lost since. Since then, he has won 27 of his 28 bouts (one was a no-contest due to an illegal soccer kick) and he has finished 19 of them. He entered the WEC in mid-2010 and was forced to take a catchweight bout against an opponent who came nowhere near making weight (Anthony Leone). Nonetheless, Barao submitted him in the third round. He then submitted Chris Cariaso at WEC 53 to earn his ticket into the UFC. A solid decision win over Cole Escovedo at UFC 130 earned him a co-main event slot against Brad Pickett at UFC 138, and he did not disappoint. He dropped Pickett with a huge knee, and managed to submit him. He'll look to continue his dominance against Jorgensen.
Scott "Young Guns" Jorgensen is a 3-time Pac 10 wrestling champion that transitioned to MMA after college. He was a longtime veteran of the WEC, entering the promotion with just five fights under his belt back in early 2008. After going just 2-2 in his first four bouts, Jorgensen rattled off a five-fight winning streak over the likes of Takeya Mizugaki and Brad Pickett to earn a title shot against champion Dominick Cruz at the final WEC event. Cruz handled him and won by unanimous decision, but Jorgensen rebounded with two UFC victories (including a huge KO of Ken Stone while in his guard) and earned a number one contenders bout with Barao.
Why should you care?
I will slap you if you need to seriously ask this question. Bantamweights. Number one contenders matchup. Jorgensen. Barao. Come on people, this is going to be sick.

MONROE, La. (KONE 8 News) - The Monroe City Council has set a day to revisit the annexation of the Charleston Industrial Park.
At Tuesday night's council meeting they tabled a request to annex the park into the city limits.
Industrial park owner asked the city council to provide water service to the Southeastern Freight Lines Construction site before February first.
The reason some members voted to table it for now is that there isn't enough information.
The special meeting to revisit the issue is set for Tuesday, February 5th, at noon.

So the 'Canes lost a big game in D.C. Who do we blame?
Maurice is a tough-nosed hockey coach working within a sub-par organization unwilling to spend money; do we blame him, or PK for failing to open up the wallet at the beginning of the season and/or during free agency? (Can't really blame JR because he is stuck with what PK gives him, and he does a darn good job (if not the best in hockey) with what little he is given.)
Its easy to blame the coach, but Maurice has NOTHING to work with! Everyone wants to blame the coach, but cmon....look at our cap! This is not unexpected! Its a terrible predicament, but, I don't blame Maurice; he doesn't have the talent to work with like some NHL teams and is therefore forced to improvise and simply hope for the best.
At what point do we all sit back and realize that PK, as I said numerous times last year, crapped on our team to maximize short term profits?
Although I am severely irritated after the Caps game, which is seething through this comment (especially after what SHOULD have been goal number 2 was called OFF BY A PREMATURE WHISTLE), I find it hard to place blame outside of our ownership.
(I actually like Maurice quite a bit more after "reading his lips" in the what he said to the officials after the goal was called off...for those that didn't watch, it was a four letter word ending with the word "you.")
Sometimes you have to spend some money in order to make some money, and it seems that PK is content where he is...so we must all enjoy mediocrity until he chooses otherwise.
If you want to place blame, start at the top, and if you don't find fault, then follow to the next level. I personally find no reason to go past the "P"ea"K" in the "blame game."
I apologize if I am ranting and raving, as I find that I am. I am not only irritated after our loss, but am irritated at the state of our organization.
Agree, hate, or disregard this fanpost; whether I am right or wrong, its just the way that I feel.

News: Drake Explains Why Andre 3000 Turned Him Down, "In His Mind, I Have To Prove Myself"
Tuesday, Jun 15, 2010 5:55PM
Young Money's Drake has revealed why an Andre 3000 collaboration did not make it onto his Thank Me Later debut.
Drake believes he must still prove himself as an artist before gaining Dre's respect.
"I really tried to do a song with Andre 3000, but I think it was meant for my second album," Drake said in an interview. "Dre is one of those people that needs you to do a little more. He's one of those people that believe in his craft so much that he needs you to do more than just be over hyped or just famous. In his mind, I have to prove myself and the truth is, I do. That's just being real. I have a lot of work to do, so I actually respect him for that. I think on the second album I'll probably only have two features. I have a few people in mind and Dre probably will be one of them." (VIBE)
Last fall, Drake said he wanted big collaborations with artists like Andre 3000 and Sade.
"I really, really wanna do a joint with Sade," he revealed in an interview. "I really wanna get Andre 3000 on the record. And I really wanna do a song with Kings of Leon. Yeah, slowly, but surely [I'm trying to get the guest features]. We'll see." (Rap-Up)
In April, Sade explained why she did not do a guest feature for the rapper.
"I don't think they have contacted me," she explained in an interview. "I've never collaborated because I've always avoided working outside my safety zone -- I can be exactly who I am and can fail or success within the moment. I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn't want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver because I think I wouldn't deliver." (National Post)
Drake later gave his interpretation of Sade's response and said he hoped for a future duet.
"That's great. Her brand is always protected. That's why," Drake said of her comments in an interview. "Other people's visuals, other people's songs, stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand. It can bring you down as opposed to bring you up. I personally feel we could have done something amazing. But I don't think she really knows who I am, really, my genre of music. I put it out there. It was more of a hopeful thing. It was a very early stage where I was at when I said that I was hoping. One day. Maybe after this album comes out. I'm very influenced by her. She does something that I do. She doesn't do too much with harmonies, and she keeps her vocals very clean. Single vocals. Haunting melodies. I'm influenced by her a lot. One day." (MTV)

The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Optimark FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
A total of 1309 subjects (24 healthy volunteers and 1285 patients) received OptiMARK™ Injection and 46 subjects received placebo (saline). Of the 1309 subjects who received OptiMARK™ Injection, 680 (52%) were men and 629 (48%) were women with a mean age of 50 years (range 12 to 85 years). In this population there were 1102 (84%) white, 116 (9%) black, 33 (3%) Asian, and 58 (4%) subjects and patients of other racial groups.
In the clinical trials there were 8 serious adverse events and 1 death. The one death occurred in a patient with advanced multisystem disease and appeared to be related to the underlying disease. Six of the eight serious events appeared to be related to underlying disease. Two patients had either persistent paresthesia or numbness of unknown etiology that required hospitalization for diagnostic evaluations or treatment.
Of the 1309 subjects, 460 (35%) reported at least one adverse event out of a total of 997 adverse events; and 22 (47.8%) of the 46 subjects who received placebo reported at least one adverse event out of a total of 81 adverse events.

No. 1 ASU hockey has seven games left this season, but only two are at home, and the Sun Devils (28-1-0) wouldn't want to finish their home schedule any other way than a two-game clash with rival No. 14 UA (14-15-0).
"We always take UA very seriously," ASU coach Greg Powers said. "They're big games."
It's senior night on Saturday for ASU's seven seniors, and captain Colin Hekle said he has mixed feelings about ending his ASU career.
"It's bittersweet, just because I'm going to enjoy these games, but at the same time, I'm going to know (they're) the last home games I'm going to play as a Sun Devil," Hekle said.
But senior night isn't the focal point of the weekend.
The big storyline surrounding the on-ice rivalry between the two Arizona schools is the outcome of the last 36 games. ASU has won them all, dating back to the 2009-10 season.
The Cactus Cup, established during the streak to the winner of the season series, has never resided in Tucson. ASU leads the series, 4-0, with four games to play.
"The goal is to always retain that, keep it as long as we can and we need to get one more win to seal it, keep it for another year," Powers said.
Powers said, while impressive, getting to 37 and 38 in a row isn't the main incentive for beating UA.
"It's a big number," Powers said. "Whether or not that number is one, two or 50, the goal is just not to lose to UA. … We treat our eight games against UA — I say it all the time — like it's a separate season within our season."
ASU senior forward Kale Dolinski said he discounts the streak.
"It's a number," Dolinski said. "I don't look at it like 36 in a row, I just look at our standings. … I just look at them like must-win hockey games."
But it does come back to the number. ASU has beaten UA 36 times in a row, an impressive number, and a number that Hekle said he has no question will continue to climb this weekend.
"Absolutely," Hekle said. "No doubt about it."
Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe.
Additional weekend notes:
— In his career, Dolinski has played his best games against UA. Dolinski has 51 points in 21 career games vs. the Wildcats, including 13 in four games this year. He had four goals and three assists on Dec. 7 in Tucson.
Dolinski diverted the attention away from himself when talking about his success.
"I don't know know if I come up big. I just think that we have to take it to another level," Dolinski said. "Our intensity has to be up, and we have to bury our opportunities."
— ASU will be wearing its black jerseys for both games this weekend. They are the team's designated road sweaters but will be wearing them at home for the first time.
— Freshman forward Alex Temby was removed from Friday's game against Liberty with an apparent knee injury. Powers said he expects him to play against UA. Powers said there are no other injuries to report.

A word from JoJo
JoJo offers relaxed yet elegant dining on two floors of a quaint, turn-of-the-century brownstone on the Upper East Side. The first of Jean-Georges' restaurants in New York City, this neighborhood gem opened in 1991 to rave reviews. It was voted best new restaurant of the year by Esquire magazine and has retained its three-star status from the New York Times for 21 years. Regarding the name, JoJo was Chef Jean-Georges' nickname as a young boy. Jojo is a hospitable setting for a casual dinner, special occasion, or private party. Guests can feel comfortable in jeans or in evening attire. The contemporary French menu still features some well-loved original dishes, including the Warm Valrhona Chocolate Cake.Continued

- Excellent cuisine and romanticOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014It was a great discovery for a romantic dining evening. The food is excellent. The ambiance is quiet and appropriate for quiet conversation. Verry good wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Intimate Night OutOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014JoJo is a place that makes you feel romantic. Everything from the location to the curtains makes you feel comfortable like your in a restaurant just for you. The food is cooked to perfection. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and well mannered. I watched a waiter cater to his guest's every need.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Charming in the best old UES wayPetraDined on 8/30/2014I feel like I'm in the NYC of my youth at JoJo. Nothing gimmicky. Elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Fine service and excellent food. Our duck entree was superb. And how often do you now get simple bread and butter that are out of this world? I'll keep coming back. I checked "fit for foodies" because the fare is so fine. But this is really a pre-foodies restaurant. Thank goodness.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!FirstClassVIPDined on 8/30/2014JoJo is a a Jean George restaurant but overly expensive for NYC. It is a great little place that you would believe was your own private great discovery! The service and food are excellent and the town house setting is lovely.Special Features:
- Lovely for LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/30/2014Second time at JoJos...this time for lunch with girlfriends. Fine fixed price lunch menu with wide wine selection. Food and service were excellent. Salmon with corn pudding combination worked. Chocolate cake with chocolate sauce inside was a perfect finish.Special Features:
- Romantic Dinner, Anyone?LuxuryDinerDined on 8/29/2014We don't get to JoJo as often as we'd like. Every dinner there is memorable. The food is uniformly excellent. Our server was gracious and charming. The kitchen responded to my request for fresh fruit, in lieu of the high glycemic desserts on the menu, with small platter of orange sections (sans skin) arranged in the shape of a fish where the sections were laid out like scales. I was amazed, surprised and delighted.Special Features:
- JoJo's is a TreatBeteraVIPDined on 8/28/2014I just enjoyed my second lunch at JoJo's and wish I didn't work so I could come more often, mid-week. Their three course lunch is absolutely delicious. All is served with style and the room is elegant. Each course was excellent--from shrimp salad appetizer (big portion!) to the delicious garlic roasted corn and shrimp entree to the yummy chocolate cake dessert. Can't wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experienceLizzieBVIPDined on 8/26/2014If I lived closer, I would be here every week! Elegant - relaxed would best describe the ambiance at jojo. The summer squash salad was light and flavorful, the filet mignon melted in my mouth. Finally for dessert we shared the caramel mousse and then had to try the chocolate cake. Both divine. Service was impeccable and wine suggestions were perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always an imaginative mealPetite4Dined on 8/24/2014Shortly after a recent Restaurant Week lunch, I returned to JoJo, taking a friend there for a special birthday dinner. We couldn't have been happier: my tuna roll appetizer was an excellent change from the usual "sushi" version, as this is presented in a wafer-thin wrap and served with a slightly sweet soy bean emulsion; my friend's ricotta ravioli with fresh tomatoes was perfect. We both greatly enjoyed the lobster with sweet corn and fingerling potatoes - a luscious dish; and we ended with the signature molten chocolate cake and excellent coffee and tea. There is a terrific wine and liquor list and if you don't imbibe, the house-made sodas are also a treat. Impeccable service as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gegandcoVIPDined on 8/23/2014Fantastic cuisine and service to match! A must go-to restaurant! My favorite is the chocolate cake with home-made ice cream!Special Features:
- The BesthappymealVIPDined on 8/23/2014This is one of the best restaurants in New York. The food is beautifully prepared and presented. The service can't be beat. I would highly recommend JoJo's for any meal - I have had brunch/lunch there and was blown away by the place.Special Features:
- Quintessential UES DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014Jojo's is a restaurant that captures the essence of the neighborhood it serves. A long time upper east side restaurant, the decor is classy yet modern, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet refined. I enjoy dining at Jojo's as it feels like I'm in my own world. Speaking of, the food is out of this world. There are flavor notes, especially in the salmon that is currently on the menu, that I can't identify but crave. Everything is prepared perfectly and presented beautifully. The prefixe lunch menu is the best value in town. For around $30 you can have an amazing 3 course meal from a Michelin starred restaurant in an elegant setting!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding mealChicagoAnnDined on 8/20/2014We were very pleased with our experience at JoJo. I ordered the vegetable menu, which was excellent. My husband ordered the summer menu and loved it. The ambiance downstairs was disappointing, but after requesting a change the hostess moved us upstairs near the front windows, which was lovely. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of our meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/20/2014Food is always excellent - very good for lunch - and pretty good for dinner because space is small downstairs and difficult to have a conversation when all the tables are taken. But quality of food and service is always excellent. However, dinner menu is more interesting. It's a good place to meet for a special lunch occasion. Wish it was more comfortable.Special Features:
- step up your game, JoJomanhattanVIPDined on 8/20/2014Consistently good but not exceptional. The pieces of crab in the crab cake could be larger, but the accompanying greens were very good. The salmon is farmed, and thus not as tasty as it could be, but the lightly roasted cherry and grape tomatoes with it were excellent. The blueberry cake had no discernible taste of blueberries and the sorbet was too sweet.
- very good BUTeatineddieVIPDined on 8/18/2014I think charging 29.00 dollars for a GLASS of wine is outrageous...The rest of the bill was in line with upscale New Youk City prices. Whe I searched online for the retail price of this wine, the average price was 43.00 per bottle. the mark up for a glass was way over the top.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Most CreativeSIRLINYDined on 8/15/2014Decor attractive Service superior Cusine most creative in NYC have eaten at Per Se Boule Daniel Aurielle and if not all the upscale restaurants then most My statement shows that I have had the pleasure of dining at NYC finest Chef Sean Hergot is a geniusSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RemiVIPDined on 8/15/2014I had one dish--the pasta. I ordered the appetizer size which was $17. The waitress asked if I wanted an entrée portion, and I said sure. She charged me $29 for six ravioli swimming in soupy sauce. Way overpriced for cheese ravioli. My friend had gazpacho, which was good, and the burger. Despite it being restaurant week, we were charged a la carte for everything. They made no effort to help price-wise. Tables are tiny on the first floor, so we were jammed in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Belvedere525Dined on 8/15/2014The food was great and so was the service. Unfortunately the chairs had torn seats. The restroom was shabby too.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable lunchMimi04Dined on 8/14/2014I very much enjoyed lunch with a friend here. Great food and service. Lovely setting. Will certainly return again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/13/2014Mediocre service from start to finish; even had to fill our wine glasses ourselves!Special Features:
- Pleasant Lunchnice18surpriseVIPDined on 8/13/2014We dined at JoJo for lunch during restaurant week. Having never been there all of us were very pleased with our choices. The food was delicious, however, the downstairs rooms where we ate was dated and in need of a "facelift".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BoopsterVIPDined on 8/13/2014The last time I dined at Jo Jo's was maybe 5 years ago-still has not changed. Not sure I would go back.Special Features:
- MelodyDined on 8/12/2014The food was very good and service too but could be faster for lunch. This has been here for a long time and it is an old building so I wish they can do something for the ordor.Special Features:
- elegant dininghappyeaterVIPDined on 8/12/2014A New York experience with fine cuisine and ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, bad service.OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/11/2014Took my girl friend there for lunch for her birthday, did not know it was a restaurant week. We ordered from the restaurant week menu just because it was the right portion, but the service was really tepid. I have to ask three times for lime for my water, and our coffee never came. Anyway, I wish the service is better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant week lunch menuDining101Dined on 8/11/2014Overall the food was mediocre (not bad but nowhere near as good as I've previously heard) and the seating was very cramped. The diner next to me and I bumped elbows a few times. I'm glad I tried out the restaurant but also extremely thankful it was during retaurant week when prices are moderate.
- Classy and romanticjaneyxxnDined on 8/10/2014I went with my family during the restaurant week for dinner. It is not a very big restaurant but it is very classy and romantic inside. I had a salmon dish and it was cooked just about right and their corn pudding sauce was phenomenal. I would definitely go again if I have a chance!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible. Can this be Jean George?OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/10/2014We eat fairly often at Jean George's Inn at Pound Ridge so were surprised by the TERRIBLE food here. The salad with asparagus had decomposing mesclun that was obvious looking at the plate. Picked out the many bad leaves and placed them on my bread plate, but our server chose to overlook the gross pile. I should have complained but didn't want to disrupt the experience of my guests at the table. Tofu dish was over salted and tomatoes in the pasta were sour. Nothing was even good let alone delicious. Also awkward--the first wine we had was corked, but the person pouring (a manager?) argued about it with my husband. Wine tasting is subjective, but this was apparent. The price was exorbitant. Worst dining experience we can remember.
- SoSoNYCMDDined on 8/10/2014For the price and the rating, JoJo does not live up to the Jean-Georges reputation. Also, this is only a personal anecdote, but it seemed they placed all of the Asians on the bottom floor. If this may be true, it is in fact a discriminatory policy, one that will turn me off all Jean-Georges restaurants.
- AAAAADined on 8/10/2014quality plus!jojos wa up to its usual quality...had been yearning for a real French omelet and jo jos highlight dessert, the pavkiva,,,both were just great....would've felt better if it were on restaurant week or a choice on the PF, even if with a supplement..Special Features:
- Comida francesa muito bem elaboradajj2jDined on 8/9/2014Este restaurante está localizado em uma parte muito agradável do Upper East Side, e ao adentrar-se no estabelecimento, logo se percebe se tratar de local refinado. A comida é deliciosa e os pratos têm apresentação caprichada. Certamente é um local a ser considerado por aqueles que querem degustar uma bem elaborada comida francesa. Tendo oportunidade, retornaremos ao Jo Jo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Used to be goodWudnotgobackVIPDined on 8/9/2014Went here years ago and remembered it fondly. However, the menu offerings were not special and the prices high. My lamb chops were just well lamb chops served with a smattering of veggies. My friend's salmon was a tiny piece of fish. Also the ambiance has grown a bit tired with age. Only redeeming factor was that the noise level was minimal which is unique in NYC these days.
- Disappointing lunchfoodiekatDined on 8/9/2014We had the prix fixe lunch. I had the ravioli appetizer, which needed to be hotter - it was room temp. My friend's peeky toe crabcake was tasty but tiny. The salmon entree was more rare than medium rare, as I'd ordered, however, the corn pudding was the best thing about the meal - sweet & richly corny. The dessert was disappointing. From the online lunch menu, I'd thought we'd have more than 2 choices. The warm chocolate cake was tasty but not hot enough in the center & the financier was a waste of calories. I would have gotten the butterscotch pudding or crunchy profiteroles instead of the financier. Frankly, it felt as tho the kitchen just wanted to get out of there & hadn't paid enough attention to our lunch.
- Perfect for date nightOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/8/2014We dined at JoJo during Restaurant Week and were very pleased with the experience. The fennel salad was nice, as were the a la carte crab cakes. The salmon was perfectly cooked and served over a delightful corn pudding. We thought the financier was lackluster but the rest of the meal was superb, including the service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So close, you can kissOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/8/2014We were seated upstairs and the tables were impossibly close--the person sitting at the left or right table to ours next to me were so close to me that they were closer to me then my dining companion, across my own table. It's hard not to share your conversations; and privacy is non-existent. The staff is nice, but they are so quick to remove your plate and get you the next course, even before you put your fork down. Food was good, but not what I think of as Upper East Side French dining--a feeling of calm and sophistication.
- It used to be good, may be.LadyfromTokyoDined on 8/8/2014We visited there with a group of five for dinner. However, the choice of menu is quite limited. For example, the Restaurant Week Menu has only two options and both of them are rather disappointing. Chicken was clocked dry and tasteless and salmon was overcooked too. Assorted vegetables for chicken are good and delicious and the corn dip for salmon was excellent. Wine list is very good. So everything is good except for main meal.Special Features:
- beware of the plastic in your food!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/8/20141. After we finished our appetizers, we had to wait 30+ mins for our entrees! 2.I found a piece of plastic(size of my pinkie nail) in the ice cream. Our server did offer us one complementary dessert, but sorry, Jojo, it can't save you from receiving one star from me and my friends.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/8/2014Great for restaurant week! They wouldn't let us sit upstairs which I would have liked but otherwise reliably good food.Special Features:
- Restaurant Week dinnerSteverDined on 8/7/2014We ordered off the Restaudant Week menu. The salmon dish with corn pudding (amazing) and cherry tomato salad was a palate of flavors, each delicious and complimentary of the others. The shaved fennel salad was very good, but not special (is it possible?). However, the blackberry financier with sweet corn ice cream (also amazing) was a delightful way to end the meal. Fine, creative dishes at Restaurant Week prices - try not to miss it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Sometimes drawing is a great stress relief. I had just come out of a meeting and was feeling the pressure of all the looming deadlines, so decided to get the little sketchbook out instead of heading straight back to the office. I sketched what must be Auckland's steepest street, Liverpool Street, just off the main Queen Street. I've gone up and down here on the bike many times over the years and believe me it's very exhilarating! (coming up is not much fun though).
I'd like to try to sketch (and ride) what is claimed to be the steepest street in the world sometime, Baldwin Street, Dunedin in the South Island with a gradient of 35%, I suspect the granny ring would be needed ...
Sketchbook Stress Relief?
