If getting fit and having fun are on your list for 2014, join us for our next session of Basic Training on Saturdays from October 11 - November 22.
Gotham Girls Roller Derby's Basic Training and Recreational League is dedicated to training and developing roller derby skaters at all skill levels and providing opportunities to play roller derby without the commitment or skill level required to play roller derby at the national level. Our mission is to provide a fun, safe and competitive environment for all who participate.
Who can join?
The Gotham Girls Basic Training and Recreational League is the place for anyone interested in learning the sport of roller derby, trying out for a derby league, interested in being a referee or just working on your skating and roller derby skills. We welcome all skill levels.
How is it structured?
All new skaters will start in one of our ten-week Basic Training sessions. After each ten-week session, there will be a Skills Assessment to determine readiness to move to the next level. Depending on their skill and comfort level, skaters may retake a particular session. Skaters that are cleared for scrimmage and bout readiness will begin practicing with the Recreational League on a weekly basis. Recreational League skaters will also participate in twice monthly open scrimmages.
Please note that if you are unable to attend one of the Skills Assessments you must sign up for Basic Training 1. Skaters may be moved up to a different level mid-session at the discretion of the GGRD coaches.
Basic Training Level 1
This level is for anyone new to roller skating or roller derby. No previous skating skills are required, however you must be able to make it around the track without holding on to walls or people. Level 1 will teach you the fundamentals of skating to ensure that it is safe for you to start playing roller derby. Practices will cover basic skating skills, land drills for general fitness, and introductory roller derby skills. Women and men are welcome to these non-contact practices. There is an assessment at the end of the 10 week program that will determine if you are ready to move on to Level 2.
Basic Training Level 2
Basic Training Level 2 is for women and men whose basic skating skills -- form, crossovers, stops, starts, and safe falls -- are already strong and who are ready to add some contact. Practices will build on the form drills in taught in Level 1, and introduce roller derby contact, gameplay, and scrimmage style drills. By the end of Basic Training 2 you should be able to give and take a hit while staying stable on your skates and have basic understanding for the game of roller derby. There is an assessment at the end of the 10-week session to determine if you are ready to advance to our Rec League.
Recreational League
The Gotham Girls Recreational League is a continuous program that focuses on improving your skills in game scenarios. Rec league is structured to prepare skaters for GGRD tryouts and to provide practice, scrimmage, and game time for those skaters who enjoy the thrill of roller derby but cannot commit the time required to skate in the league. This program will provide 6 - 7 days a month of instruction and scrimmages for 9 - 10 months per year.
Rec League is for women only. In order to sign up for this class, you must have previously taken a GGRD Rec League Level 3 class or qualify to take it during a previous GGRD Skills Assessment in 2013.
Tickets are available for purchase as follows:
Level 1: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/881590

how would I start with this?
I do have an old pc at home where I could install 4.0 as soon as it is officially released, BUT I would have to downlaod the whole data from the old server, fix all things like hostname, IP whatever, it would be a complete reconfiguration as I have different hardware at home, can't afford another live-serevr for testing, don't know my clients software, so I would have to figure out what each client is running, and test it?
Seems like overkill to me, hmm....

Daniel Ellsberg
"When all who are honestly mistaken hear the truth, they will either quit being mistaken or cease being honest." ~Anonymous~
Vietnam whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg has a recent article in the Huffington Post about a new group he has started with journalists Glenn Greenwald, Xeni Jardin, John Cusack, and Laura Poitras called The Freedom of the Press Foundation. It was started in response to the decision by Visa, Mastercard, Bank of America and PayPal (under pressure from Senator Joe Lieberman and Congressman Peter King) to stop processing donations to WikiLeaks. This caused the group to lose 95% of their funding overnight.
Donations to the foundation are tax deductible. To start with they will help fund Wikileaks; MuckRock News, which streamlines Freedom of Information Act requests so that ordinary people can file them easily; The National Security Archive, which collects and publishes newly declassified government documents; and The UpTake, a Midwest collective of citizen journalists focused on bringing transparency to state and local government.
The corrupt and blatantly criminal activities that go on in Washington and some of our state capitals continue because they happen in secret. This is why these four programs, which have a proven track record of exposing government malfeasance to public scrutiny, deserve our support.
I've been to the Freedom of the Press Foundation website, and donors have a choice of how to divide up their donation among the four groups.
Does anyone know if Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal are also blocking funds sent from outside the US?
The answer chills me to my marrow. This is the delusional blanket that the German people covered themselves so cozily some 75 years ago. The past has not past us until we are gone ...

Tronox Inc., the world's third-largest producer of titanium dioxide, will pay $270 million in cash and 88% of its interest in pending litigation in a federal bankruptcy settlement that will resolve the company's environmental liabilities.
A 506-page Consent Decree, finalized Nov. 22 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, requires Tronox to reimburse the Environmental Protection Agency for past cleanup costs and fund future cleanups at contaminated sites across the country.
Tronox, a spinoff of the Kerr-McGee Corp., has been operating since Jan. 12, 2009, under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Tronox and 14 of its affiliates and subsidiaries sought bankruptcy protection in the face of potential responsibility for past and future costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, commonly known as Superfund) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) relating to sites throughout the country, as well as for penalties under CERCLA, RCRA, the Clean Air Act, and the Clean Water Act.
Settlement Plan
Under the terms of the massive settlement, Tronox will pay $270 million in cash. The majority of the funding will be placed in five environmental response trusts for the cleanup of numerous sites, most of which have been contaminated with hazardous substances or waste.
Tronox will also provide non-cash assets, such as insurance and financial assurance assets worth at least $50 million, to the environmental response trusts. Those assets include property in Henderson, NV.
EPA-lead sites will receive, directly or indirectly, approximately $59 million and 45% (of the 88%) of any proceeds from current litigation involving Tronox's parent company, Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
The Tronox EPA-funded sites and communities include 49 abandoned uranium mines in the Navajo Nation territory in the U.S. Southwest.
EPA Clean-up Claims
Tronox, based in Oklahoma City, OK, is a multinational chemical company that makes and sells titanium dioxide and other specialty chemicals used in coatings, paints, plastics, paper and inks. The company has 1,800 employees and operates in North America, Europe, and Australia.
The company was created in 2006 through a spin-off from the Kerr-McGee Corp. and produces about 12% of the world's titanium dioxide. Months after the spin-off was completed, Anadarko Petroleum purchased Kerr-McGee for $18 billion.
On Aug. 11, 2009, the U.S. Justice Department filed proofs of claim on behalf of EPA to recover, among other things, past and future environmental response costs relating to 18 named sites in seven regions, including a claim for at least $335.5 million in connection with costs EPA incurred in cleaning up the Federal Creosote Superfund Site in Manville, NJ.
The U.S. also filed proofs of claim related to hundreds of other sites impacted by the spin-off. EPA's claims included a claim for penalties stemming from inspections and reviews of a Tronox facility in Savannah, GA.
Photos / Tronox Inc.
Objections, Amendments
In August 2010, Kerr-McGee announced objections to Tronox's bankruptcy exit plan, saying the company was not giving creditors enough information to evaluate how much money they could recover in the bankruptcy case.
On Sept. 30, the bankruptcy court approved Tronox's amended disclosure statement. On Nov. 17, the court approved the plan.
Tronox said then that it expected to emerge from Chapter 11 "in the upcoming weeks, as soon as the plan conditions are satisfied."
'A Major Milestone'
"The Court's confirmation of our restructuring plan is a major milestone for our company and represents the culmination of our restructuring efforts," said Tronox chairman and CEO Dennis L. Wanlass.
"We will emerge from the Chapter 11 process well-positioned to compete in the titanium dioxide and specialty chemical industries, having eliminated our significant environmental and other legacy liabilities."
Tronox is currently involved in litigation against Anadarko and Kerr-McGee over allegations that those companies imposed years' worth of legacy liabilities, including environmental obligations, on Tronox, leaving Tronox insolvent and undercapitalized.
The trial is expected to begin in late 2011 or early 2012. As a result of that litigation, 88% of any settlement awarded to Tronox will be used to fund additional cleanup efforts.
Distribution Changes
In September, Tronox announced that it was reducing the number of distributors for TiO2 in the United States from seven to four.
The company eliminated longtime distributors Majemac Enterprises, Mehaffey & Daigle Inc., and Commerce Industrial Chemicals. Remaining distributors are Hall Technologies, D.H. Litter Co., M.F. Cachat, and Dowd and Guild Inc.
Before being considered by the bankruptcy court for approval, the settlement will be lodged with the bankruptcy court for a period of 30 days to provide public notice and to afford members of the public the opportunity to comment on the settlement. The bankruptcy filing did not include Tronox's non-U.S. operations, which are based in Australia, Germany and the Netherlands.

Upcoming Builds
Lu and I have changed our policy of when we list builds. It was a matter of survival! We now list the builds as they come in.
Featured Builds
Collegiate Challenge and Care-A-Vanners
Our new way of listing Collegiate Challenge one-week builds has proved very successful. Many of the builds already listed for spring 2014 are full, and most have at least one rig registered to help supervise the students. The newest affiliate to ask for Care-A-Vanner crew leaders is in Phenix City, Alabama. Just look for the "CC" after the name of the city and state if you think you might like to spend a week next spring with a young, energetic team of students!

DULUTH- The Duluth Police department asked residents to stay indoors today, to avoid icy road conditions.
Dozens of reports of accidents, came in over police scanners, as residents tried to make their way around town, Sunday morning.
Karen Weikel was visiting from Ohio and said, "It was mostly the sidewalks I found were really bad. Nobody cleans their sidewalks in Duluth, do they?"
Precious Scanlon said, the roads are pretty slippery out here. I've seen two cars collide actually on the highway, and I seen an accident in Gary on my way to work."
Valenti Cordero said, "there was a bus that was completely horizontal on third avenue. And it was about to take out like three or four cars. And then, from where I work at the Sheraton, you could see people sliding through the stop lights. There's at least four or five people that came in. They're like–oh can you put this note on someone's car, we hit their car."
Duluth police say they responded to 65 weather related incidents between9:30 am and 3:30 pm.

I'm with you, I have no idea how many to buy either! I found this blog http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/03/13/paper-lantern-inspiration/ about paper lanterns, and she bought 48 in 3 different sizes for $170, which seems really reasonable to me. We are renting the largest tent our rental place has, since we are having 210+ guests, so I think I will ask them what they think, and if they have any to rent. Hope this helps :)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Nigeria: A country afflicted by corruption and insecurity
AS a result of the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria in 1914 by the British colonialist, Sir Fredrick Lord Lugard
Charles Ikedikwa Soeze
AS a result of the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria in 1914 by the British colonialist, Sir Fredrick Lord Lugard, a federating state called Nigeria came into existence.
This same entity won independence from Britain on October 1, 1960. Based on recent developments, one can say that what Nigeria actually got from Britain was mere political independence.
A study of Nigeria's history reveals at a glance that past leaders moulded Nigeria with great zeal for success.
This was based on the way and manner in which they collectively fought and achieved political independence.
However, it is a truism that this crop of leaders exhibited leadership qualities and moral pedigree as well as professionalism that is lacking in contemporary politicians and leaders.
Consequently, the result of their tested, trusted and sincere leadership gave birth to a peaceful, united Nigeria, as the Nigerian flag of green-white-green was hoisted and the Union Jack was lowered to the admiration of all Nigerians.
To this end, they defended the territorial integrity of Nigeria with full restoration and preservation of our cultural values to the best of their ability, agility and professionalism.
It is on record that these adept politicians maintained absolute self-respect and genuinely protected the oneness of this country through good governance.
There is the need for the current crop of politicians and leaders to emulate their ideas, and desist from corrupt practices and shun ethnic tendencies.
Speaking on Nigeria, United States President Barack Obama said 'Nigeria is critical to the rest of the continent and if Nigeria has not got it right, Africa will really not make progress.'
In this connection, therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Nigeria is and will continue to remain the giant of Africa.
However, it is true to say that some Nigerian leaders are either oblivious of their responsibilities to the Nigerian citizens or they are blinded by the quest for self-aggrandizement. In other words, one can see decadence in all sectors of the economy and some of the leaders are nothing more than self-serving demagogues.
Most of our leaders have shown that they are incapable of providing effective leadership to Nigerian citizens.
The big question, therefore, is: who will save Nigeria? The nation seriously needs leaders with conscience that will face the problems of Nigeria and effectively address them without minding whose ox is gored.
One can boldly say that the problems eating up the very heart of the nation is corruption. Nigeria may find it difficult to fight corruption because we continue to re-cycle old politicians.
To successfully tackle corruption, we must pray in our churches, mosques and in our shrines for President Goodluck Jonathan to address some of the problems facing Nigeria.
From personal observation for more that one year, Jonathan's leadership qualities, particularly his disdain for injustice and his fearlessness in openly speaking against, should be appreciated.
This is so because leadership, according to a Chinese proverb, 'is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.'
It is flabbergasting that in the 21st century, where there are large numbers of leadership models to emulate, our politicians and administrators continue to settle scores in the old-fashioned, Stone Age way.
Historians and others would definitely agree that some of our leaders have not learnt anything from the past. Towards this direction, leaders made Nigeria a laughing stock of the other nations.
Nigeria, the giant of Africa still cannot provide effective leadership. All Nigerians should be concerned about the bad happenings in the polity, which clearly have showed ineptitude, ineffectiveness, idiocy, tribalism, nepotism and the emergence of political godfathers and godmothers.
Mismanagement, misdirection, misappropriations, corruption, lack of planning, policy inconsistency and many others have become the trademark of every administration that has ruled our nation.
Democracy is the best form of government everywhere in the world and Nigeria cannot be an exemption. Whatever the case may be, we cannot totally write off the leadership of this country.
I think and believe we all need to bring our ideas towards national development, this is because no man has monopoly of knowledge; we must not relent in contributing our quota so as to move the nation forward.
It is our country and nobody will develop it for us. It is unfortunate that 52, we are still at the primary level of development.
During his first outing as military Head of State, Olusegun Obasanjo pointed out at the formal opening of the Command and Staff College, Jaji, on Monday, September 12, 1977 that: 'The Nigerian society as at now, in spite of our efforts since July 1975, is not sufficiently disciplined, fair, just or humane.'
He went further to say; 'A nation where the indolent, the dishonest and the inefficient can get to the top or become excessively wealthy is a nation fit for destruction. It will in fact sooner than later bring destruction on itself.'
Today, it is still flabbergasting that we make sensitive appointments without taking into recognition such appointees educational background and area of specialization to ensure effective contributions in the discharge of their duties in that office.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
Not for Happiness
A Guide to the So-Called Preliminary PracticesDo you practise meditation because you want to feel good? Or to help you relax and be "happy"? Then frankly, according to Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, you are far better off having a full-body massage than trying to practise the Dharma. Genuine spiritual practice, not least the Ngöndro preliminaries, will not bring the kind of comfort and ease most worldly people crave. Quite the opposite, in… Read More

Living Beautifully
with Uncertainty and ChangeWe live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a roiling and turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world. Why, then, shouldn't we cling to the certainty of the shore—to our familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being fully alive. The teachings she presents here—known as the "Three Commitments"—provide a wealth… Read More

I mean, does it get any sadder than this for Dwight? Kobe is a legend, who has more rings that Howard ever will and instead of learning from the guy, he decides to clown on him.
You can see the tension between the two on and off the court. Reports say that during the All Star game Howard put on Kobe's jersey and….well here, read it for yourself:
"Amid other reports that the Lakers' chilly on-court chemistry was spilling into the locker room, we're told that Howard 'grabbed Kobe's uniform, put it on, and imitated him in front of all the other players on the West team. He was joking and berating Kobe' to fellow NBA stars, including the Clippers' Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant. The source added Bryant later arrived in the locker room, 'said hello to everyone on the team except Howard, grabbed his stuff and moved as far away from Howard as he could."

Amed: 7 days 7 beaches
Why settle for one beach when you can have a bunch of them? In practical use, Amed is used to refer to a series of bays in east Bali (well, it's really to the north of the island, but it's lumped in with the east — no idea why). Each of these black sand (and pebbly in places) beaches offers bountiful snorkelling and ample opportunity for just laying around in the sun soaking it up.
As with most beaches on Bali, these remain primarily beaches used by fishermen, so don't turn your nose up at the boats pulled up onto the sand. Instead, drag yourself out of bed early enough to see them come in with a catch, or get up still earlier to go out on a trip with them (but that's another story).
Amed is well regarded for both its snorkelling and diving — there is a wreck that can be visited, but most keen divers head to Tulamben further to the west. Snorkellers should be more than happy with the corals and there are plenty of fish — plenty.
Unlike the beaches on the south coast, there are no waves in Amed, so leave the boards in storage in Kuta — you won't be needing them here (unless you're planning on stopping elsewhere of course). Off the beach are a range of things to do and you can arrange to climb the bloody big volcano you can't help but notice (but that's another story too).
Amed is a great choice for families with children because the waters are calm and the swimming pretty safe — a lot of the resorts have swimming pools as well. There are a lot of family-friendly digs here and we quite like the Santai Hotel if it fits into your budget, but there are plenty of cheaper options as well to choose from.
Amed is around three hours from the beaches at Kuta, so you're really looking at an overnight stay at least, but we'd recommend three nights if you can manage it — come on, you're on holiday!
Many first-time visitors to Bali find themselves a little underwhelmed by the beaches. It's a response easy to imagine considering all the beautiful beaches featured on Bali brochures and the reality of crowded Kuta. Luckily, Bali is a big island with pretty beaches enough for everyone, and over the next seven days we'll show you one a day to help you fill out a week's beach holiday in Bali.

I found the Umppa Lumppa's songs very annoying and the fact that there is about 6 songs through the movie lasting about 3 minutes per session really tested my endurance levels to continute to view. On the flip side to that negative I do like how it goes into the past of Willy Wonker so you can see what made him who and why he is the way he is etc. I cant really make up my mind on this one whether I like it more than I dislike it or vice verser, therefore 3/5.

Texas A&M Tops Among Texas Public Colleges In Kiplinger's 2013 "Best Values" Rankings
Texas A&M University placed first in Texas in Kiplinger's Personal Finance "best value" rankings of public colleges for 2012-13.
The widely distributed publication announced its "top 100 best values" in public schools today, ranking Texas A&M 18th nationally and tops in Texas. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill heads the list, just as it has done since the magazine began its ratings in 1998.
Kiplinger's editors say they base their ratings on a combination of "outstanding education and economic value." Janet Bodnar, the magazine's editor, said, "We applaud this year's top 100 schools for their efforts to maintain academic standards while meeting the financial needs of their students."
Texas A&M has a long record of figuring prominently in rankings focusing on high quality of education coupled with costs. Most recently, Texas A&M placed second in a Washington Monthly survey that also includes values of research contributions and overall service to the nation.

A&M was a great educational bargain that has paid off for me for two decades. Whoooop!
Jason Rinaldo, '93 on

These rankings are fake!
If you want to know the truth just go and ask International Graduate students about how Texas A&M is like!
This university gets money from students and if you don't pay them they make your life like hell! in contrary when it is time for them to give you some money, then nobody replies to your questions or emails!!!!
This school charges you on anything they can! even your funding resources money is charged by huge amounts of fees (350 dolars a month!) They even charge you for recreational center!
The nominally give you money as funding and later they take it back with different excuses!
This school's ranking is not real!

Rabbi Saperstein: "It is our moral imperative to build a fair society where all people are judged by the merit of their work and not by their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Contact: Max Rosenblum or Sophie Golomb202.387.2800 | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 18, 2014 - In response to reports that the administration will ban discrimination by federal contractors against LGBT workers, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center, issued the following statement:
"We are elated by the reports of the President's decision today to sign two executive orders, extending workplace protection to LGBT employees of federal contractors and to transgender employees of the federal government. We commend President Obama for these important steps affirming that the government should not fund discrimination through its contracts. These orders represent a significant step in ensuring equal opportunity in the workplace. They expand the Administration's consistently robust efforts to protect the fundamental rights of LGBT people (as it has done through key steps such as its support for marriage equality and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act). According to the Williams Institute, this executive order would protect 14 million more workers whose employers or states do not already uphold non-discrimination policies. Moreover, this order will demonstrate to Congress that workplace protection for LGBT employees is good for individuals and good for business.
We had hoped the President might use this opportunity to reverse the Bush executive order allowing for religious discrimination by religious organizations receiving federal contracts. While in some instances, religious exemptions allow faith organizations and houses of worship (when they are using their own funds) to carry out their missions without interference, when taxpayer funds are involved, there should never be discrimination. We recognize that the religious community is split on such issues and thoughtful religious leaders and organizations had called for an even broader religious exemption allowing for them not to be covered by this executive order. The President rejected such requests and while we disagree with the administration's decision to maintain the Bush executive order, we appreciate that the President was attempting to express his commitment to the competing religious liberty and civil rights concerns involved. Nonetheless, we hope that the time will soon come, in which the principle that no one's tax dollars should be used to discriminate against them in employment will become the norm of our nation.
As Reform Jews and as Americans, it is our moral imperative to build a fair society where all people are judged by the merit of their work and not by their sexual orientation or gender identity. We look forward to the implementation of these orders in the coming months and will continue to work towards passage of the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) so that all workers have the opportunity to earn a living without fear of discrimination."
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.3 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 2,000 Reform rabbis.

Experts confirm remains were of England's King Richard III
LEICESTER, England — He was king of England, but for centuries he lay without shroud or coffin in an unknown grave, and his name became a byword for villainy.
On Monday, scientists announced they had rescued the remains of Richard III from anonymity — and the monarch's fans hope a revival of his reputation will soon follow.

- Price Point Pro Builds
The Wellgo WAM-M3 Pedals feature a new retention mechanism that allows easier cleat engagement thanks to a wider front port. The low profile forged alloy body of the M3 makes this a great lightweight pedal. Wellgo's CrMo axle and sealed bearings provide a long smooth service life.
Great price point, made me move away from standard pedals. Have made a few 9 mile commutes to work and some single track rides. Had an issue getting them adjusted as a first time user. Seem to have them set now. Just have to remember to unclip faster when coming to a full stop.
Both in price and quality. I bought these as a pedal / shoe combo. The shoes have been great but the pedals have long since been thrown out. These things fell apart after just two months of normal use. I switched back to shimano -- won't buy Wellgo again.
No problems at all with the pedals, was just my first set. I have moved on to Crank Brothers now since I wanted a different style. Still have these on a different bike though!
I bought these as my first set of clipless pedals, and so far I'm quite pleased. Clipping in was difficult at first, but has gotten easier with use; retention is solid and clipping out is effortless. I haven't used these on the trails yet, but so far I'm enjoying them. For $25, they seem incredibly solid, even compared to shimano pedals. Highly recommended.
I purchased these as my first set of clipless pedals to try. They are easy to adjust and lock into. Haven't tried them on the trails yet. On the road they work very well.
Yes, I read all the reviews. I used locktite on the adjustment screws and then adjusted them. Pedals are difficult to clip into at first but this was expected. For the price you can't beat them. Secure, fairly easy to release and stable under foot.
Good pedals for the money. Easy to clip in/out of and light. Have used the same pedals on 4 different bikes. They've lasted very well. They don't shed mud the best, but Egg Beaters are the best for that. Just keep an eye on the Phillips head screws as they will back out if left unattended.
I have 3 sets of these on my bikes (MTB and cyclocross), my oldest pair is 10 yrs old and still working fine. They have sealed bearings and are easy to take apart and lube/clean. At 302 grams these are lighter than some of the more popular (and WAY more expensive) pedals like XT,XTR, and crank bro. candy 3. If you need new cleats for them most every LBS is going to have the shimano sh51 cleats which I have used and they work fine. Save yourself 100 bucks and a few grams and try these out.
I've used these pedals for over ten years. After the first couple rides, when I was getting them dialed in, I haven't had a problem. They shed mud pretty good too. I can't recommend them enough, especially for the price. If you are trying to save money these are the pedals to get.

Assessment Manager Quirk: Marksheet Updates
by, 10th May 2010 at 02:31 PM (5648 Views)
I spotted a little quirk today in Assessment Manager that anyone using it for reporting should be aware of. Over time, staff members will change and the Marksheets that have been assigned will slowly become out of date. In our case, a baby boom amongst the staff population led to a large number of maternity cover teachers being employed and thus assigned to the now teacherless classes.
This lead to the Marksheets that were assigned at the start of term to be out of date and still bound to the absent staff members account and not the one for the new staff member. This means it is important to know who is and isn't on leave.
Luckily Assessment Manager made it relatively easy to update the sheets. Section 3 of the Template screen lets the Assessment Co-Ordinator delete all the marksheets for a subject and re-assign them. This refreshes the list (though a Refresh button would have been preferable). Repeat for all the marksheets in your collection. You don't even have to know who is covering the staff member as whoever is responsible for keeping that information up-to-date will have handled that already. SIMS will assign the new staff member when you re-assign the marksheets.
Unfortunately if you have a lot of marksheets this could be a time consuming process in which case it is time to settle down with a cup of coffee and update every sheet one-by-one. If there is a faster way to do this (like some magical auto-update wand to change every sheet in Assessment Manager to the new owner) please post below with your ideas.

Vodafone Mobile Connect software
Dear all,
I've just bought an ASUS F3Sr notebook, everything works well under Vista but I'd like to move to Linux.
I'm using the Ubuntu (8.04.1) live CD to test for compatibility, At present I can't connect to the internet through the internal UMTS modem.
I ran the Vodafone Mobile Connect software and almost everything was OK: it got automatically configured with my operators data (i.e. the APN), it asked me for a PIN, I gave it, it started and I saw in the bottom of the window appearing the string "Vodafone IT", which means (I guess) it found my operator's network.
I pressed on the "connect" button but nothing happened. No errors shown and no connection established (I could not browse the web with Firefox). The button label didn't change to "disconnect".
I pressed several times the "connect" button but it just didn't do anything.
I ran it again from the command line in the hope I could see some error messages on the console but I couldn'd see anything.
Have you already seen this behaviour? Do you know if there is something like a log file where I can search for error messages?
Unfortunately, I'm using an Ubuntu live CD, which means I'm continously switching between Vista (to connect to the internet) and Linux (to make tests) so troubleshooting the problem is more complicated.
Any help will be appreciated.
Do you see any errors in the logs (in the /var/log/ directory)?
Unfortunately there is nothing in /var/log, no file has been updated during my attempts.
If I run 'sudo vodafone-...' and I press on the "connect" button I see a notification windows saying it attempted three times a connection but it couldn't. It suggest there are mistakes in the configuration (but doesn't say anything about where are the configuration files or what options are incorrect) or there is no carrier (I know there is a carrier as I can connect from Vista).
I tried to send an SMS and it worked, I received it on my phone.
I also tried with wvdialconf.
I ran wvdialconf to update the /etc/wvdial.conf file and it made everything without complaining but when I run wvdial it complains the configuration doesn't specify any valid phone number, login name and password. Of course... I don't have any of them.
I don't know what else I could try...
I use my Sony Ericsson phone connected to my laptop via USB and connect via GPRS. Here's my wvdial configuration entry. If you try and use it, you will have to replace the bold parts with those unique to your setup.
[Dialer Sony]
Invoke as follows:
wvdial sony
2 Attachment(s)
I tried again with vwdial, it doesn't work.
I used the following vwdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"","web.omnitel.it"
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Phone = *99***1#
Password = none
Username = none
Stupid Mode = on
Actually I can't understand the reason to have a "phone" field as I don't have any number to dial in Windows Vista.
Anyway, wvdial says
--> Disconnecting at Thu Aug 21 20:02:24 2008
--> The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
You find attached the /var/log/messages and the output from vwdial (log.txt).
It actually connects and gets a carrier, but doesn't seem to get a PPP response.
Try setting stupid mode off. This will allow the connection to progress further instead of handing off to PPPD immediately. You might need to send some special command to fire off ppp on the server. After a couple of attempts like that, the logs will probably offer more hints about what to do next.
Doing it this way may not be the most efficient, but the idea is to get you connected if possible, and later you can look for a 'better' way to do it. ;)
I'll try, thank you very much for your hints.
By the way, I've written to the Option support asking for some advice and they replied
The 3G device you have purchased is an OEM product. We are sorry that we are not able to assist you with your support inquiries. The product has been
I swear next time I'll be much more careful about what is inside a PC. And I don't want to get in touch with any other Option product, whether OEM or not.
I've found a solution, it's here:

Pirates 6, Phillies 5
The night after a long Pittsburgh Pirates winning streak ended, one of their starting pitchers extended one of his own.
Jeff Locke won his eighth consecutive decision, Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer and the Pirates hung on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Wednesday night.
Locke (8-1) was scored upon for the first time in four home starts but extended his unbeaten streak to 16 outings. Locke, who hasn't lost since his first start of the season, allowed two earned runs on seven hits and three walks over 5 2-3 innings.
''They're going to get their hits - and I'm also going to make my pitches,'' Locke said. ''I'm going to win some battles; they're going to win some battles. A night like tonight they're finding some holes and hitting the ball pretty hard at points, you've just got to try to stay consistent and don't teeter away from what you do well.''
The Pirates took the lead with a four-run fifth punctuated by Alvarez's 21st home run.
Andrew McCutchen reached base five times, scoring twice for the Pirates (52-31), who have the majors' best record and had a nine-game winning streak snapped in the series opener Tuesday.
''I'll tell you what - there's something special going on here,'' Locke said. ''All the guys pull for each other every night. We're not out of a game, ever. And I think the Pirates of the past could get out of a game early, we'd kind of get down on ourselves a little bit and think that hill's too tall to climb. But nothing here these guys can't do.''
Delmon Young and Domonic Brown each had three hits for the Phillies, who have lost four of six. Young has 1,001 career hits.
Brown's two-run homer with two outs in the ninth pulled the Phillies within one, but Jason Grilli stuck out Young to seal his NL-best 28th save.
Philadelphia's John Lannan (1-3) fell to 1-5 in his career against the Pirates, getting tagged for four runs on 11 hits and three walks in five innings. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said, ''It definitely wasn't one of (Lannan's) better games.''
Still, he kept Pittsburgh off the scoreboard through four. The Pirates left seven men on base in that stretch.
Pittsburgh loaded the bases with no outs in the second, but Locke struck out and Starling Marte bounced into a double play.
''I was battling all night, and I was able to pitch myself out of a lot of jams,'' Lannan said. ''But then I made a bad pitch to Alvarez, and that was the difference in the game.''
McCutchen, Sanchez and Martin hit consecutive one-out singles in the fifth, the latter driving in a run. Alvarez followed with his fourth home run over his past six games against the Phillies.
''I was just up there trying to be ready to hit and not really sitting on anything,'' Alvarez said. ''I was just trying to go out there and put a good at-bat together.''
Those runs erased an early deficit for the Pirates. When Ben Revere drove in Brown with a bloop single to left with two outs in the fourth, it snapped a 24-inning scoreless streak for Locke at PNC Park. That's the longest home shutout streak for a Pirates pitcher since Jerry Reuss did it for 34 innings in 1975.
Locke had his scheduled start bumped back a day when he was forced to warm up in the bullpen during the 14th inning of a win Sunday. He had three consecutive home starts in which he did not allow a run between May 14 and Wednesday.
''As much as anything, he's got a very good demeanor,'' Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. ''There seems to be no panic, no urgency. He just continues to make pitches and focus on that pitch to that hitter.''
Justin Wilson allowed an RBI single to pinch hitter Kevin Frandsen, but - after a Jordy Mercer error led to another Phillies run - struck out Chase Utley to end the sixth.
Jeanmar Gomez struck out pinch hitter Ryan Howard to finish a scoreless seventh and Mark Melancon worked a perfect eighth.
Brown's home run off of Grilli snapped a 27 1-3-inning scoreless streak by the Pirates' bullpen. Brown has three home runs through nine games on Philadelphia's road trip and a team-high 22 on the season.
''I'd like to make the All-Star team; it'd be a great honor,'' the 25-year-old Brown said. ''I'm not really thinking about that right now. I'm thinking about our team and how we can start winning some games.''
NOTES: Martin's second RBI came when he doubled in McCutchen in the sixth. ... Howard was not in the starting lineup for the second time in a four-game span. Howard, who snapped out of an 0-for-22 slump with two hits Tuesday, has been bothered by a sore left knee all season. He was walking gingerly after Tuesday's game, one in which he scored from first by sprinting on a double during the sixth inning. ... The Pirates activated OF Jose Tabata before the game and optioned RHP Brandon Cumpton to Triple-A Indianapolis. Cumpton was recalled to start Tuesday's game in lieu of Locke. ... Buoyed by thousands of Phillies fans who made the drive across the state, the announced paid crowd of 33,197 was the Pirates' eighth consecutive of at least 30,000 at home. ... RHP Gerrit Cole is the first Pirates pitcher to win each of his first four career starts in more than a century. He makes his fifth major league start in the series finale Thursday. LHP Cole Hamels (2-11, 4.58), who starts for the Phillies, has one win since April.
