Common symptoms of improper bike fit
Spring is here! Bike saddle sales will be booming soon!
Bike fit isn't rocket science. It doesn't require expensive equipment and it doesn't have to be done by experts. Sure, it's cool to pay someone to fit you for a bike, but it's not necessary. It makes more sense if you are into competitive cycling and are buying a whole new bike. However, to get you fit to your existing bike all you can do is to move things around, maybe replace a stem and most people should be able to do that themselves. That cash would be better spent on a quality saddle or new grips or bar tape.
Your bike doesn't need to be the perfect size either, as long as it's not drastically too small or too large you can compensate for incorrect bike size by changing the stem, the handlebars or the seat post.
Do something different with your commuter bike: touring!
Perhaps many of you just want to take a break from cycling after riding to work every day, but if you want to do something more serious and interesting with your bike on weekends, here is an idea: bike touring. It's Summer and chances are that your commuter bike is already equipped to handle short tours. I'm not a terribly experienced tourer myself, but that's kind of why I'm saying this: it doesn't take lots of experience, fancy gear and lots of time-off to have a bike adventure. If you have a rear rack and some panniers, you're good to go.
How to deter bicycle thieves: securing and locking your commuter bicycle
Before talking about securing a bike I'd like to put forward four ideas that might help you deal with bike theft more efficiently.
First, there is no such thing as complete "theft prevention". You can't "prevent" theft any more than you can "prevent" accidents or illnesses. You can minimize the chances of something bad happening, but you can't prevent it entirely. Given enough time, skills, determination and the right tools anything can be broken into, cracked, cut, and stolen. Theft deterrent is a better term and a better strategy too. What you want to aim for is not a total elimination of any possibility of theft, since that is impossible, but at making your bike difficult enough, and undesirable enough, so that chances are thief would pass it and move to an easier and more valuable target. Basically, a bike *will* be stolen, you just want to make sure it'll be somebody else's bike, not yours. It's blunt, it's harsh, but that's what it comes down to.
Cycling and depression disorder
Cycling as a therapy for depression?
Well, this is not really directly related to commuting by bicycle, but I felt strongly that I need to share this. It is about how cycling is beneficial to your mental health.
Even if you don't suffer from depression, cycling may improve your mental well-being or, perhaps, you might know someone who struggles with depression and you might help them out a bit.
The exact numbers are not known, mainly because many who suffer don't understand what is happening to them and never seek help, but many sources believe that as many as 70% of Americans may be suffering from some sort of mood or mental disorder, mostly depression and/or anxiety or related or unrelated sleep problems, but only a fraction of those ever get diagnosed and treated. About 17% of Americans are officially diagnosed with anxiety, mild or major depression (6% for major depression).
This is a long write up including some science but I want to build up a good case for my claim that cycling improves your mental health.
How to relieve winter itch and protect your skin and eyes from freezing weather
Please read my "How to stay clean and fresh at work after a bicycle commute" article before reading this, as I will make some references to that.
If you follow my advice on staying clean and fresh after the commute you may be more susceptible to winter itch. That's because washing your body frequently removes your skin's natural oils and dries it out. Also, if you apply rubbing alcohol to your skin it will dry it even more. Applying rubbing alcohol and deodorants to skin that is already dried out may lead to rash, itching and skin damage.
Inspirational photos from my bicycle commute
This is not much of an instructional, but more of an inspirational article When you ride your bike through the city, you really see the world around you differently. When was the last time you thought on your commute "wow, look at that, that's pretty cool!" " or "wow, that's pretty". Words "cool" and "pretty" aren't normally associated with your daily commute, are they? Yet, when on a bike, you can find those moments and they're very calming and good for your mind and can set you in a great mood for the day.
Preparing for your first bicycle commute
Suggested readings before you read this article, in order to familiarize yourself with my philosophy and general attitudes as well as to become more familiar with some bike commuting related concepts: Welcome to NYC Bike Commuter, Introduction to Bicycle Commuting, The Purpose of this Site, Defensive Cycling, NYS Traffic Laws Applicable to Cyclists and We're vulnerable, don't rush.
I always like to be prepared
It's the way my head works. I may on occasion get up early on a weekend and go for unplanned hike or bike ride, but that's one trip that takes few hours. Everything that takes longer or becomes a repeated task for a prolonged periods of time, I prefer to plan for. I don't believe that throwing a person out of a boat in the middle of a lake is the best way to teach them how to swim. Of course, not everything works as planned all the time either, but it's definitely worth trying.
Commuting by bicycle, if the distance is more than two miles and/or involves bridges, busy roads and difficult intersections needs some preparations to make sure you can pull it off safely and not become instantly discouraged. It's actually more likely that you will get discouraged for other reasons, than get hurt in an accident. Getting discouraged is very easy, and it's very hard to get back. There are thousands of bikes sitting in basements, attics and garages that saw few miles of pavement before their owners gave up because they did everything wrong.
Defensive cycling
How to ride a bicycle on public roadways defensively and safely
I will discuss here some general philosophy, attitudes and defensive riding techniques that I refer to as defensive cycling, which in principle is similar to defensive driving, and I act on the road according to these myself, well… most of the time
ANSI/ASSE Z15.1, defines defensive driving as "driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others." Just replace "driving" with "cycling" and this is pretty much it. Since a lot what is happening around is a result of other people's actions you need to sharpen your sense of awareness and observation skills, stay focused, but relaxed, avoid problems before they happen and remain calm.
Types of bicycles suitable for urban commuting
People become bike commuters gradually.
I think most people become bike commuters gradually, starting little by little, on and off, with what they have. Very few wake up in the morning and decide "I'm buying a commuter bike today and I'll be riding to work from now on". It's a process, kind of organic: as the rider learns and evolves the bike evolves with him or her. As they ride day after day they find things that need to be replaced, modified or added.
At first, most people try riding in a nice weather, during the day so the need for fenders, lights or rain clothing isn't there in the beginning. They ride on knobby tires until it occurs to them, or someone points it out to them, than smoother tires would make riding on pavement easier.
NYS traffic laws applicable to cyclists
A cyclist should behave like a car and obey the same rules when riding on public streets
There is a lot of confusion and emotions among the cyclist, drivers and pedestrians when it comes to cyclists and the traffic laws. It's really simple though: we, the cyclists, are supposed to know the laws and obey them. Ignorance of the law is not a legal excuse. Just because you didn't know that certain action is illegal it doesn't mean the judge will drop the charges.
The sad truth is that most cyclists in NYC are clueless when it comes to how the traffic laws apply to them or just plain ignore them "because they can". The usual response is "The car drivers break the laws all the time, why should cyclists care?" The answer? Because the driver is enclosed in a metal cage and what for them may be just a fender-bender, for a cyclist may mean serious body injury or death. We don't have a metal cage separating us from the traffic. We should do all we can do assure our safety, and among other things knowing and respecting the traffic laws is one thing that can help.
We're vulnerable. Don't rush.
Cyclists and pedestrians are quite different actually, but they share one significant characteristic: we're all vulnerable and cars present a great danger to all of us.
I really wish that cyclists and pedestrians would show more respect for one another. We're kind of on the same boat: we have enough hard time dealing with the motorized traffic but on top of that we're mean and disrespectful to each other. When I make a turn at an intersection I need to look out for turning cars as well as pedestrians waiting off-the-curb for the light to change. It's really unsafe. How much time do you gain by stepping out into the street? This works the other way around as well: when the pedestrians have a green light they still need to worry about turning cars and distracted drivers blowing the light, why adding to the mess by speeding on your bike through the crowd? If a cyclist collides with a pedestrian they can both get hurt.
Summer Streets 2010
A good way to experience the City from your bike saddle
NYC annual Summer Streets event is a good way to experience the City from your bike saddle, sans the insane traffic. I've heard from several people that last year's Summer Streets was the event that got them back into cycling. Some of them are regular commuters by now!
This event takes place during three consecutive Saturdays in August from 7am til 1pm. During this time Park Avenue is closed to motor traffic all the way up to Central Park. There is also a traffic-free connection through Soho and Chinatown down to the Brooklyn bridge. Unfortunately, there are no traffic-free connections to the other East River bridges. Check out the 2010 event map. Please note that several major cross streets are still opened and you will have to stop when directed by the Police to let the cars pass through.
There are rest stops set up along the route and several activities are available, for more information see this DOT page. However, you can stop and rest wherever you feel like it. But the additional activities are only available at the designated rest stops.
Why fenders?
Fenders are not just for rainy days.
Fenders are not just to protect you from what's falling on you. They're to protect you from what your tires pick up and throw up at you. That includes more than just water, sludge and mud. That includes dog poo, urine, vomit, chemicals spilled on the pavement, oil, grease, pieces of roadkill, basically anything you wouldn't want to step into when walking as well as small debris and pebbles and those hot, sticky bits of asphalt and tar we see in big cities in Summer.
The rear fender prevents the above stuff from being thrown onto your back and your head by the rear tire and the front fender protects your face, eyes, hand, legs and front from the same being thrown up by your front tire. Did you really think that the puddles contain just water? Silly you!
How to carry your stuff on a bicycle
You're a commuter, not a racer!
In order to have a decent, safe and comfortable commute you need to set yourself free from the obsession with weight and looks. Remember, you're riding for utility, you want to get to work in a safe and comfortable manner while keeping your belongings dry and secure. A proper commuter bike is heavier and slower than most: it has a beefier frame and wheels and has more equipment and accessories mounted on it. In reality 10lbs difference in bike weight is not a huge deal. Look at the bright side: after riding your 40lbs commuter to work for a week, you will be flying on your 20lbs road bike on the weekends! Commuting is a great training for other forms of biking: road cycling, mountain biking or touring. Also, as you get into commuting you will be able to make changes to suit your particular riding style.
How to carry your stuff depends on what you actually need to carry, how long your commute is and whether you'll be riding in all kinds of weather. If your ride is short and you only ride in nice, dry weather your requirements will be different from someone who will be riding longer distances and in all kinds of weather.
Introduction to bicycle bags
Types of bicycle bags
There are few basic categories that bicycle bags fall into. I'm partial to Axiom products so I will use images and links to Axiom's product website to illustrate. I hope it's OK with them. I like Axiom products because they offer a great value. They're just as good as some bags that cost twice as much.
Other makers of good and affordable racks and bags: Topeak, SKS, Nashbar (Nashbar branded), MEC, Inertia Designs. On the more expensive side of things are: Ortlieb, Arkel, Carradice.
As a general theme of my articles I will focus on more affordable solutions. Ortlieb, Arkel and Carradice target more of the hardcore touring cyclists that require the ultimate reliability, although they have some nice commuter offerings. If you don't mind the price you can't go wrong with them. But for an average commuter Axiom, Topeak, Nashbar and MEC are a great value and their quality is by no means low.
These bags can, of course, be combined in any way you'd like. You may have one large bag or several smaller ones. It depends entirely on your needs.
Let's start with smaller bags that do not require any racks, bags that can be attached directly to your bike.
How to stay clean and fresh at work after a bicycle commute
Some folks are lucky to have showers at work. Most of bike commuters probably do not have such luxury. The fear of being stinky and uncomfortable at work or at school is one of top few reasons why people are afraid of bike commuting. Fortunately, there is a way to deal with this problem.
One possibility is to find a gym nearby. Many gyms would allow you to use their facilities for a small fee. If you can do that, the problem is solved.
But what to do if you don't have access to any shower whatsoever? What if the only thing available to you is a restroom? Lucky for us most workplaces have restrooms. A restroom and a sink will suffice.

Multi-animal vaccine
posted 7 years ago
We like this vaccine because more than one type of animal can benefit from it. Howeve, not all animals are equally succeptible to the diseases it prevents, and depending on your location and the potential for infection, animals may not need it. It is best to consult a veterinarian before using it.
Pros: works for a variety of animals
Cons: None

Use this annually on your equines, and when they get wounds that could be exposed to soil. Vaccine left a swollen area that was sore on my horse's neck for a day or two, but no other side-effects.
Pros: You can administer yourself, prepackaged dose
Cons: Left soreness and swelling for a couple days.

Mount Jackson fire station plans need more work
By Joe Beck
Plans for Mount Jackson's new fire station inched toward groundbreaking this week after the town council unanimously approved the Rescue and Fire Department's rezoning application.
The department must still resolve some architecture-related details before the planning commission and the Town Council approve an application for a special use permit.
Although the commission and the council held off approving the special use permit at their meetings earlier this week, town officials said Wednesday they are confident that the station will receive final approval in May.
David Brinegar, president of the Rescue and Fire Department, said most of the remaining issues involve making sure the building's design fits with the town's comprehensive plan. He still expects groundbreaking within two months.
"We're just getting over some bumps that need to be taken care of," Brinegar said, adding, "I think we're definitely on track for early summer."
Kevin Fauber, the town manager, said the planning commission has agreed to form a three-member subcommittee to work with the Rescue and Fire Department in clearing up the project's final details.
"I sensed a willingness on the part of the commission members to get a plan that can be approved by the full planning commission and ultimately the Town Council," Fauber said.
Many of the lingering items are linked to a guidelines created in the early 2000s to encourage aesthetic improvements on properties lining Main Street.
Fauber said changes need to be made to plans for the front of the building, along with some landscaping in the front and buffering in the rear.
Brinegar said a variance will also be needed to allow the building to be set back 150 feet from the road instead of the maximum of 25 feet currently specified for Main Street structures.
Brinegar said the extra space is needed to allow fire trucks and ambulances to turn around and back into their bays.
"If we don't have that setback, we'll be turning around on Route 11 and backing into the bay," Brinegar said.
The planning commission is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. May 5 and Town Council at 7:30 p.m. May 13.

Welcome to my art blog. All artwork/animation belongs to me unless stated otherwise.
My inspiration blog
August 3rd
685 notes
some more anon asks xD;
Anonymous asked you:
How do I figure out where my shades go and where my lights go? I have trouble when shading… is it just a matter of practicing and using references?
Yes, that, plus really trying to understand the structure as you practice :). For example, the reason why people study extremely muscular men/women for anatomy is because once you see the extremely defined shape of the muscles, you will know where the muscles should be, so even on a not-so-defined body, it will help with structure a whole bunch. the more you practice, the more you will come to understand, say, the facial structure (or something else if you'd rather). also, always remember where your light is coming from, and be mindful that there maybe reflective lighting too (the lighter part in the shadows)
I tried to do something here but i don't know it kind of turned into a lighting practice for me lol "orz. And I put some other skulls I sketched for reference
Anonymous asked you:
What's your way to motivate yourself to finish your art projects you're currently working on?
well, currently I'm doing some freelance work, so self-set deadlines and imagining the client extremely disappointed if i don't finish it motivates me do finish it if i start getting tired of it xDD
Anonymous asked you:
What would you say is the difference between inspiration and imitation? I think that for something to be inspiring, part of it is imitated, but where do you draw the line? For example, in the matter of character creation, I was inspired by the hairstyle of an existing character from a movie/story. But I don't know if I can use that idea of whether I have to change a lot of the inspiration so it isn't classed as copying? XD sorry I sound so crazy.. And thanks!
The line can be pretty blurry a lot of the times. Truthfully I don't really think there's ever a truly "original" idea, so if it's for something like a hairstyle of a character, unless it's so unique that people will see the hair and recognize a character that way (like…Naruto's stripe-marks on his face or something, which isn't unique per se but people relate those to him), I think it should be okay to draw inspiration from them. But of course, this is just me and everyone thinks differently on this subject and can easily be offended…but i 'd say go for it, hahaha.
Anonymous asked you:
omg you are absolutly an amazing artist do you have any other jobs and do you sell your artwork and would you give tutorials on how to draw faces,body's,etc,
Thanks very much! I do freelance work mostly right now but I'm going back to school so no jobs :D. I do sell my artwork at conventions. I will be doing more tutorials in the future on anatomy :)
Anonymous asked you:
Could u plz do make a more detailed tutorial on backgrounds?
Well…the thing is, i'm not very good at backgrounds yet, I feel hahaha;;;. i haven't studied it as much as I have anatomy (although i still have a lot more to study on anatomy too), but background is too broad a subject for me to approach…do i start on perspective? but those are self-teachable too and there's really just a set of rules you have to follow and you'll have good perspective. Or composition? But those come with practice or, an easier way, the golden spiral can easily show you what the best composition focal points are. Or colouring backgrounds? But that spans a lot more than backgrounds and goes into colour theory, the way light and dark works with our eyes in real life compared to in paintings, etc. See? so many things @____@;;
Anonymous asked you:
OMG LOL i just KNOW who you are =_=. lololol.
Anonymous asked you:
I like drawing a lot but i need help at copying a picture/drawing/photo whether its simple or not. I can draw well, if its only imagined. Even realistic portraits are easy if they're imagined. If i try to copy something it OFTEN turns out to be different. Help plz?
Oh my, I honestly have no idea how i can help you there. I started drawing when i was 11y/o and i started by copying Card-captor Sakura artworks and they often turned out exactly alike so I've never really had trouble copying things to practice @__@;; so i'm not sure why it turns out different for you "orz. sorry, I'm afraid i can't help there D:.

For Terrance "Pusha T" Thornton" to be considered as one of rap's most underrated, there has been a lot of hype surrounding his debut solo mixtape 'Fear of God'. But the attention has been earned: during his years of work as the brash half of respected Virginia rap duo Clipse and one fourth of Re-Up Gang, his sharp, cold-blooded rhymes always stuck out. And since he signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint last year and appeared on several of his album tracks and leaks, Pusha has been getting things that "underrated" emcees don't get very much: MTV Video Music Awards performances. The 13-track offering which sees Pusha rapping over some original production and classic instrumentals features label boss Kanye West along with Re-Up Gang affiliate Ab-Liva (now Liva Don) along with Rick Ross, 50 Cent and R&B crooner Kevin Cossom. With production from Kanye West, The Neptunes, Hit-Boy, Tha Bizness, Nottz and The Inkredibles, 'Fear of God' is a contender as part of the elite mixtapes of the year.

During a briefing in the London office of Societe Generale this week, Alain Bokobza, head of European Equity and Cross Asset strategy, handed out a booklet containing series of charts and graphs to explain the bank's latest multi asset portfolio for the fourth quarter.
As he explained the outlook for the UK economy, a chart on UK growth was discreetly missing from the booklet.
"There's no chart. It's too gloomy to print it," Bokobza told the participants.
Societe Generale sees inflation shooting below the Bank of England's target of 2 percent over the next two years and has a bullish call on UK stocks as it predicts benchmark interest rates to fall to 3.5 percent in a year's time from the current 5.0 percent.

Two Rival Religions? Christianity and Post-Christianity
- Monday, October 08, 2012
Similarly, Kainz argues that modern secular liberalism includes its own dogmas. Among these are the beliefs "that mankind must overcome religious superstition by means of reason; that empirical science can and will eventually answer all the questions about the world and human values that were formerly referred to traditional religion or theology; and that the human race, by constantly invalidating and disregarding hampering traditions, can and will achieve perfectibility."
Kainz also argues that contemporary liberalism has borrowed selectively from the New Testament, turning Jesus' admonition to "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's," as a foundation for "absolute secularism," enshrined in the language of a wall separating church and state. Thus, "religion [is] reduced to something purely private."
Secular liberalism also identifies certain sins such as "homophobia" and sexism. As Kainz sees it, the secular scriptures fall into two broad categories: "Darwinist and scientistic writings championing materialist and naturalistic explanations for everything, including morals; and feminist writings exposing the 'evil' of patriarchy and tracing male exploitation of females throughout history up to the present."
The priests and priestesses of secular liberalism constitute its "sacerdotal elite" and tend to be intellectuals who can present liberal values in the public square. Congregations where secular liberals gather include organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, the National Organization of Women, and similar bodies. These groups "help supply a sense of affiliation and commonality for the religiously liberal."
The rites and rituals of secular liberalism include "gay pride" parades and pro-abortion rallies. Interestingly, the eschatology of this movement is, Kainz argues, the distillation of pragmatism. "In the estimation of the religiously liberal," Kainz asserts, "all lifestyles and all moralities can approximate this goal, as long as the proscribed illiberal 'sins' are avoided."
Kainz readily admits that not all liberals are committed to this religious vision of liberalism. As he sees it, "There are many people working for social justice, human rights, international solidarity, and other causes commonly regarded as liberal without a deep ideological commitment." His point is that conservatives may find common cause and common ground with these non-religiously committed liberals.
"For many 'moderate' liberals, liberalism is a political perspective, not a core ideology," he observes. "In the culture war it is important for Christians to distinguish between the religiously committed liberal and the moderate liberal. For one thing, Christians should not be surprised when they find no common ground with the former. They may form occasional, even if temporary, alliances with the latter."
Kainz's article "Liberalism as Religion: The Culture War Is Between Religious Believer on Both Sides," appears in the May 2006 edition of Touchstone magazine. His analysis is genuinely helpful in understanding the clash of positions, policies, convictions, and visions that mark our contemporary scene.
Though Kainz does not develop this point, all persons are, in their own way, deeply committed to their own worldview. There is no intellectual possibility of absolute value neutrality -- not among human beings, anyway.
The conception of our current cultural conflict as a struggle between two rival religions is instructive and humbling. At the political level, this assessment should serve as a warning that our current ideological divides are not likely to disappear anytime soon. At the far deeper level of theological analysis, this argument serves to remind Christians that evangelism remains central to our mission and purpose. Those who aim at the merely political are missing the forest for the trees, and confusing the temporal for the eternal.
Two rival religions? Machen was right then, and he is right now. The real struggle is between Christianity and Post-Christianity.

On making those jewelry splurges count: "Lorraine Schwartz, who's the most inspiring jewelry designer and a dear friend of mine, said that Elizabeth Taylor taught her that with jewelry, each piece should have a meaning and each piece should tell a story.

Hawaii county clerk: 'We cannot operate without people casting votes'
America usually does OK with the "free" part of "free and fair elections."
"Fair" seems a bit trickier.
On the Big Island of Hawaii, some voters were turned away from the primary election. Now the island is wrestling with how to handle the November polls. The state has stepped in to try to regularize the island's elections, but some voters already have lost confidence.
On Wednesday morning, I met with Michael Remen, a sous-chef in Hilo, on the east side of the island, where the air is soupy and frogs chirp through the night. He told me he spent about an hour and a half trying to vote in the primary election. The process was so frustrating — he ultimately left without casting a ballot — that he likely won't vote in November. The experience impacted his personal life, too. Remen used to talk politics all the time. Now, he says, he avoids the topic because it frustrates him so much.
"I know at some point in time I'm going to walk in to vote again," he said, "but it's not going to be tomorrow and it's sure not going to be in November."
In addition to Remen's troubles, which involved poll workers sending him to a new polling location that did not have his voter information, he said, several polling places on the Big Island opened late on Election Day. Dan Sabo, who volunteered at one such polling place in Kailua-Kona, said his polling place opened 1 hour 40 minutes late because the list of registered voters, which is required to set up the polling station, did not arrive on time. The governor ordered polling places to stay open late to accommodate voters who were turned away in the morning, according to news reports.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser says the state is asserting greater control to try to prevent those sorts of mishaps from recurring in the general election in November:
The state will administer the operation of polling places, the control center, and the county elections office accounting center. Hawaii County will continue to handle voter registration and absentee voting.
Sabo, the polling place volunteer, says the irregularities mean it would be impossible to classify the primary election on the island as truly fair, even if many voters took it in stride. "Some people didn't get to vote who wanted to," he said.
At the center of this mess is Hawaii County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi, who is tasked with overseeing the elections process on the Big Island. Earlier this week, the state elections office announced it would take over some duties for running the island's elections in November. In an interview, Kawauchi told me that voters should trust the polls.
"An election is a community event — by a community, for a community," she said. "And it's the foundation of our democracy, the foundation of our government. We cannot operate without people casting votes."
She said she regrets that some voters were unable to participate, and highlighted several programs — promoting early walk-in voting, mailing absentee registration forms to residents and putting civics lessons in schools — that were designed to help increase voter awareness and turnout on the Big Island this year.
"I feel very deeply a sense of loss for any voter who was not able to vote that day," she said.
But Kawauchi said she is not fully to blame.
"I've taken responsibility for it and apologized for the portions that I am responsible for, but I can't be responsible for 100% of what goes on on Election Day," she said.
"Without minimizing the impacts —obviously people were quite upset, and also voters are reporting that they were not able to vote. On that note. I'm not trying to minimize the issues, minimize the problem or minimize my responsibility, but I do think that blame shifting just isn't going to solve our country's problems."
Sabo, who volunteered at one of the polls that opened late on the morning of the primary election, said he feels more confident in the local polling process now that the state of Hawaii has announced it is stepping in to help.
Remen, the sous-chef, remained unswayed.
"It seems like they're saying let's throw it under the table instead of fixing it."

The scientists found that when raised on land, this primitive strange fish with lungs, walks much better than its water-raised friends. The experiment could she........ Read more »

The mean survival time for this disease, which predominantly occurs in the elderly, is less than a year for patients over 65 years.

There are all these expectations for me.
One friend is going to NYU and said "And you can go to Columbia and we can hang out!"
Another friend: "You go to UPenn and I'll go to Drexel and we can be together!"
Friend's parents, to my mom: "So, has she applied to Princeton yet? Or has she looked at Cornell? We'd be happy to show her around."
Mom: "I would love it for you to go to Yale" (wistful sigh).
It's flattering that all these people think I have a chance at all of getting into any of these schools, but it's also a little terrifying. What if I'm not accepted? If I'm not good enough? These are seriously elite schools and I'm just a kid who somehow was lucky enough to stay alive and get to America.
An equally frightening thought? What if I don't want this? Then what do I say?

Saturn's Childrenby Charles Stross
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The year is AD 7000. The human species is extinct—for the fourth time—due to its fragile nature.
Krina Alizond-114 is metahuman, descended from the robots that once served humanity. Shes on a journey to the water-world of Shin-Tethys to find her sister Ana. But her trip is interrupted when pirates capture her ship. Their leader, the enigmatic Count Rudi, suspects that theres more to Krinas search than meets the eye.
Hes correct: Krina and Ana each possess half of the fabled Atlantis Carnet, a lost financial instrument of unbelievable value—capable of bringing down entire civilizations. Krina doesnt know that Count Rudi suspects her motives, so she accepts his offer to get her to Shin-Tethys in exchange for an introduction to Ana.
And what neither of them suspects is that a ruthless body-double assassin has stalked Krina across the galaxy, ready to take the Carnet once it is whole—and leave no witnesses alive to tell the tale
Freya Nakamichi-47 is a femmebot, one of the last of her kind still functioning.

Unfortunately for Freya, she has just made herself a moving target for some very powerful, very determined humanoids who will stop at nothing to possess the contents of the package.

Dan Otero Rumors
AL West Notes: Correa, Holland, Shoemaker, Otero
Top Astros prospect Carlos Correa will miss the rest of the year after undergoing surgery on a broken fibula, reports Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. "The surgery went very well," said GM Jeff Luhnow. "We expect him to go through a rehab process and return to exactly the point he was at when he got injured." The 19-year-old shortstop had been close to earning a promotion to Double-A, says Drellich. He owns a robust .325/.416/.510 triple-slash with six long balls and 20 stolen bases in his first 293 plate appearances at the High-A level.
As Astros fans deal with this tough news, here are a few more notes from the AL West…
- Rangers lefty Derek Holland will have his minor league rehab assignment pushed back, reports Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. Holland participated in fielding drills today but wasn't ready to progress to pitching in games, manager Ron Washington tells Fraley. GM Jon Daniels tells Fraley that the club hasn't given consideration to shutting Holland down for the season at any point and won't do so unless there's significant risk that he could re-injure his problematic knee.
- Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports looks at the journey of Matt Shoemaker from undrafted college arm to Angels starting pitcher. After Shoemaker went undrafted, his college coach called Major League teams to tell them that they missed a prospect, and he eventually signed with Anaheim for a modest $10K bonus. Brown's story also chronicles Shoemaker's journey and his close relationship with his father and the work the pair put into baseball throughout Shoemaker's childhood.
- Dan Otero has gone from unheralded waiver claim to one of the most valuable relievers in the league, writes Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Assistant GM David Forst — the driving force behind acquiring Otero — tells Slusser that Otero's command attracted the A's. Scout John McLaren gave a strong review of Otero after seeing him pitch with the Giants' Triple-A affiliate. When Otero was waived by the Giants, the Yankees claimed him and tried to sneak him through waivers, only to lose him to the A's the next day. Since that time, Otero has posted a 1.79 ERA with 5.1 K/9, 1.4 BB/9 and a ground-ball rate north of 57 percent.

Athletics Outright Dan Otero To Triple-A
The Athletics have outrighted Dan Otero to Triple-A after the right-hander cleared waivers, tweets Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Otero was designated for assignment on Friday when the Athletics acquired catcher Stephen Vogt from the Rays.
Otero has been a travelling man the past three weeks after being optioned by the Giants to Triple-A Fresno (March 15), claimed on waivers by the Yankees (March 26), designated for assignment the next day and claimed by the Athletics (March 29), and now onto Sacramento. The 28-year-old made his MLB debut with the Giants last season (5.84 ERA, 5.8 K/9, 1.5 BB/9, and 13.9 H/9 in 12 games covering 12 1/3 innings) while also appearing in 48 games at Fresno where he posted a 2.90 ERA with 6.5 K/9 and 1.2 BB/9.
The team confirmed the move in a press release.

A's Acquire Vogt, Designate Otero For Assignment
The A's announced that they have acquired catcher Stephen Vogt from the Rays for a player to be named later or cash considerations. To make room for Vogt on the roster, Oakland designated right-hander Dan Otero for assignment.
Vogt, 28, saw time in 18 games for the Rays last season but spent the bulk of the year in Triple-A Durham where he hit .272/.350/.424 in 94 games. The catcher was the Rays' 12th round pick in the 2007 draft and has spent his entire career in the Tampa Bay organization until now.
Otero, also 28, will be changing teams for the third time this winter after going from the Giants to the Yankees to the A's in a pair of waiver moves. The right-hander made 12 relief appearances last season and pitched in 48 games in Triple-A where he posted a 2.90 ERA with 6.5 K/9 and 1.2 BB/9.
