Nino Niederreiter scored his second goal of the game in overtime to put the Minnesota Wild into the next round of the play-offs.
Niederreiter's strike earned his side a 5-4 overtime win over Colorado, giving them a first play-off series win since 2003.
Next for them are the Chicago Blackhawks.
The New York Rangers also secured qualification as they beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1.
They relied heavily on goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist who made 10 saves in the final period and 26 in total as his side went through 4-3 to book a meeting with Pittsburgh.
Los Angeles Kings got their job done a little easier as they won 5-1 against San Jose to take a 4-3 series win.
The scoreline belied their struggle in the series overall, though, for they recovered from 3-0 down to take the best-of-seven competition, becoming the fourth team in the history of the NHL to do so.

Occasionally, the clay target venues might be closed on a Sunday for unanticipated reasons. For instance, we were closed two days in 2007 because of storm related power failures.

We need Trap & Skeet desk volunteers as many Sundays have no desk coverage. If we do not have volunteers signed up, then we will not be open that Sunday. If you want to shoot, please sign up to cover the front desk. I will not continue to man the front desk when individuals that are signed up do not show up or do not have the courtesy to call and say they cannot make it on such and such a date. We have a large number of shooters and the numbers are growing. New members / new shooters -- Please sign up to take a few Sundays on the front desk or five stand this year and next.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Oven Temp: 350
|Conversion chart
- 14.00 tablespoon(s) (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
- 3.3333 cup(s) sifted cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for dusting
- 4.50 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1.25 cup(s) milk
- 2.00 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1.50 cup(s) sugar
- 5.00 large egg whites
- Italian Meringue Buttercream
- Gel-paste food coloring in red, royal blue, black, lemon yellow, and orange
- White sanding sugar
- Astronaut action figure (optional)
- Red licorice laces (optional)
- Rocket Template
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line bottom with parchment or waxed paper; butter lining. Dust with flour; tap out excess. Set aside.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Stir together milk and vanilla in a small bowl; set aside. Put butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar in a slow, steady stream; mix until pale and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk mixture and beginning and ending with the flour (do not overmix). Set aside.
- Beat egg whites in the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of whites into batter. Fold in remaining whites in 2 batches.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, and smooth with an offset spatula. Bake until cake is springy to the touch and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. Run a knife around sides of cake to loosen; invert onto wire rack. Reinvert cake; let cool completely, right-side up, before decorating. (Cooled cake can be frozen, wrapped in plastic wrap, up to 2 days.)
- With a serrated knife, trim top of cake to make it flat. Halve cake horizontally to make 2 layers. Spread 1 cup buttercream over bottom layer; place second layer back on top. Cut cake into components using template. Arrange on a platter or foil-covered board to form rocket shape. If desired, cut board slightly larger than assembled cake shape before wrapping in foil.
- Spread 1 1/4 cups buttercream in a thin layer over entire cake; refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare buttercream for decorating. Assemble 5 pastry bags with couplers. Tint 3/4 cup buttercream each red and blue, and 1/2 cup gray; transfer each to a pastry bag. Fill another bag with 1/4 cup each red, orange, and yellow buttercream; fit with an Ateco #233 multi-hole tip. Fill last bag with 1/2 cup plain buttercream.
- Frost cake with a smooth layer of buttercream. Fit gray bag with an Ateco #4 plain tip; outline rocket. Add designs: a filled-in nose, a round window, or the outline of a flag. Sprinkle rocket nose, bottom, and window with sanding sugar.
- Fit red, white, and blue bags with Ateco #18 star tips; pipe stripes. Use an Ateco #16 star tip for flag. Pipe a white star border around bottom edge of cake. For letters, use an Ateco #8 plain tip. Pipe "flames" out of bottom of rocket using bag of multicolored buttercream. If desired, attach figurine with licorice. Chill until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.

This is your property ?
If you are looking for a wheelchair accessible holiday villa in Orlando with access for the disabled (handicapped), then you have found an ideal place to stay.
Our luxurious, wheelchair accessible holiday villa is situated in the new and exclusive gated community of The Abbey, West Haven, Orlando, Florida. We are ideally located just a few miles from all of Orlando's main attractions. It also has excellent facilities should you simply wish to relax in Florida's year round sunshine. So whether you are here for the Theme Parks, attractions, or relaxation, you've found an ideal base for your vacation here in Florida. The villa accommodation is ideal if you are disabled (handicapped), elderly or infirm in any way; there is flat access throughout and no steps to worry about.
We chose our villa for its location but also for its privacy. The villa is set in a nature conservation area and backs on to orange groves, ensuring that it is not overlooked, unlike many other rental villas.
The communal areas of The Abbey development have been beautifully landscaped and the 'sidewalks' have been finished in block paving. Victorian style street lamps complete the feeling of style.
Our wheelchair accessible villa is very spacious and comprises a master double bedded room with en-suite bath and wheel-in shower room, second double bedded room with en-suite bath/shower room, 2 twin bedded rooms (one decorated in a Mickey Mouse theme), bathroom with bath/shower, kitchen, dining area (table seats 8), breakfast bar with stools, living area, utility room, double garage, covered lanai (porch), pool bathroom and heated, screened pool with hoist.
There are many villas in the region which have been supposedly designed for the disabled, but not by a wheelchair user or someone with a disability (handicap).
Being a full time wheelchair user myself, I discussed what features I required with the builder before the villa was built. I have paid particular attention to make the whole villa suitable for the disabled (handicapped) i.e. wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties. Most doors are 36'' wide, there is a wheel-in shower (with built in shower seat and hand held shower) and accessible bath in the master en-suite bathroom. The second en-suite bathroom and other bathroom are also wheelchair accessible. There is level access at the front door, out to the covered lanai/pool deck and from the garage. The electrically operated garage door also has a remote control opener. The whole of the pool deck is wheelchair accessible. And it is also possible to get under the dining table, kitchen sink and bathroom sink! As you can imagine it is wheelchair friendly. It is also suitable for those with walking difficulties and who are handicapped. Click here for more info.
I know from personal experience that accessible accommodation is difficult to find, so I'm sure that the villa will meet most people's needs without being too clinical.
Our villa has its own private screened and heated pool. There is a pool hoist in the centre of the deck, adjacent to the steps, giving easy access to the pool. The hoist is hydraulic and is extremely easy to use. The pool screen is a fine mesh, which allows the sun through, but stops leaves, insects, etc from entering the pool. Independent wheelchair access to the pool deck can be gained from the dining area; able bodied guests can also gain access from the living area and master bedroom. The pool contains a light which enables its use at night should you feel the urge.
The rear of the villa and pool area is south facing and backs on to orange groves (it is not overlooked), thereby maintaining privacy. Not all Orlando villas offer views of orange groves as far as one can see; many offer a view of another pool! Eagles can often be seen circling overhead.
We specifically chose to have the large covered lanai on the east of the property, providing an escape from the heat of the sun if required.
We have furnished the villa to a high standard. In addition to air conditioning throughout, the bedrooms, living area and covered lanai all have ceiling fans. The kitchen is fully equipped including range cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer with ice maker and water, waste disposal, coffee maker, dinner service, kitchen utensils, glasses, cutlery, etc. There is cable T.V. in the living area and two master bedrooms; the living area also has a DVD player and video recorder plus a radio/tape/C.D. player. The separate utility room has a washing machine, drier, vacuum cleaner, iron and ironing board. A telephone is located in the kitchen area and front bedroom; local calls are free. There is also a hairdryer in the master bedroom. Please note that the voltage in the States is 110V.
The covered lanai is equipped with table and chairs and the pool deck with loungers, two of which are of raised height to make transfers easier.
Each bedroom has ample wardrobe and drawer space. There are also numerous other cupboards throughout the villa.
Our wheelchair accessible villa covers nearly 2,000 square feet of living space and with the two master bedrooms makes it ideal for two families to share.
This is our holiday home and we have a management company to ensure it is professionally maintained inside and out. Any problems, they are on call 24 hours a day.
All towels and bed linen are provided. Electricity, water, utilities, cleaning, pool maintenance, gardener and free local telephone calls are included.
We have provided a selection of books, games and C.D.'s for use whilst staying in the villa. We also have a folder containing details of attractions, restaurants, things to do, etc.
In accordance with Florida State Law, the villa is equipped with smoke alarms and emergency lighting. There are alarms on all doors leading to the pool deck, which are useful to warn if children stray on to the pool deck unaccompanied.
The villa is covered by insurance and complies with all the regulations associated with short term letting.
If you require any equipment such as a rolling rehab shower chair, hoist, etc we can provide details of companies who will hire them.
Compare the costs between our villa and hotel accommodation in Orlando. It can be rented for considerably less than it would cost to stay in a hotel, making it an ideal choice for an inexpensive holiday. You also get all the benefits of your own home, unlike the impersonal hotel room. There is much more space and all the personal items you don't get in a hotel. Why not try a wheelchair friendly villa for the disabled in the Orlando area of Florida.
Some feedback from Peggy in Canada:
I had planned to email you immediately upon my return, but have yet to catch my breath since arriving home!
THE HOUSE WAS FABULOUS!!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with the only complaint being the difficulty in getting my seven year old niece out of the pool, especially since everyday was sunny and hot. The location and privacy was perfect, and the orange grove provided us with some wonderful bird watching, to say nothing of nature's own air freshener. The scent was intoxicating. We all bonded with the resident lizard that we fondly named Larry. It was great fun watching it maintain it's pool screen territory. Sadly, the week was over all too soon and we headed back to Canada where we all promptly developed colds and sniffles. We've lost track of the number of times we've mentioned that we wish we were back in Florida!
Roger, I must also comment on how well maintained and clean your property management company keeps your house and property. I work in property management, and recognize the great job they are doing, especially in light of the number of rentals they prepare for. It was a pleasure to arrive to a house that lived up to, and surpassed all of our expectations. The house and pool made our vacation really special, and we so appreciate being able to rent it. Already I've heard rumblings about a return visit, and look forward to receiving a brochure! We so enjoyed the house that we changed our original plans so that we could stay "home" more."

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.

Defending champions Bryant Acheson and Anthony Sullivan are both entered in the Montana Semi-Pro State Boxing Championships slated for Thursday and Friday at the Babcock Theatre.
It is the first time the state championships will be held in Billings since 2004, when Club Boxing held its Regional competition at the Babcock.
The event is being promoted by Magic City Boxing, which this year took over operations of the weekly Thursday Night Fights card from Club Boxing, located in Butte.
Acheson (35-5) claimed his third consecutive Club Boxing light heavyweight state title last year at the Butte Civic Center. Sullivan won his first state title with a split decision over Butte's Keith Larson, a 2005 state champion, at middleweight.
Both nights the fights start at 7:30 p.m. There are four men's weight classes. On Thursday, there will be eight semifinal bouts and two mixed martial arts matches for a total of 10 fights. On championship Friday, the main event will be the four state championship fights. The undercard includes two regular MCB match bouts and four MMA fights .
Besides the Billings judges, there will be a judge from Bozeman and Butte. Mel Armstrong, who is the regular MCB referee, will officiate.
The complete list of the 16 fighters, four per weight class, will be announced Thursday. As of now, 11 fighters have been selected to compete.
Acheson is on the bubble and could either bump up to heavyweight or defend his light heavyweight title, where Sullivan has moved up to this year.
Hollis Huggins, of Bad Boyz Boxing & Wrestling in Belgrade, will be bumping up from light heavyweight to fight heavyweight as a personal challenge. Huggins is a multiple-time qualifier for Club Boxing's state championships.
Promoters have also invited Butte's Tommy Putra to participate at heavyweight. Putra was the runner-up to former Montana Grizzly All-American Andy Petek in the championship fight of the documentary, "Butte: The Making of a Heavyweight Contender," in 2005.
Boxers will be competing for pride, the championship belt and prize money of $125 to win and $50 to lose for each fight.
Tickets are available at the door or in advance at the Alberta Bair. The cost is one-night general admission $20 or reserved $25. Two nights GA are $35 or reserved $45. Tables for six are available for $200 for one night or $350 for both. For tables, call promoter Shay Picard at 208-9441.
Billings' Adrian Rivera has qualified at lightweight, where he was the state runner-up last year. Bozeman's Cody Reese also will participate at lightweight, as he did last year. Bozeman's Matt Cardwell qualified at heavyweight in 2007 and this year at light heavyweight.
Lodge Grass's Woody Springfield was picked for the tourney at middleweight, but had to bow out due to work obligations. Joe Broken Rope (32-8), who was runner-up the past two years at light heavyweight, is not eligible as he has his first professional bout later this month.
Following is a list of fighters who have qualified for the tournament as of Monday:
Lightweight (150 pounds and below) - Adrian Rivera, Billings; Cody Reese, Bozeman; Tony Gavaghan, Billings.
Middleweight (151-170) - Aaron Liddell, Billings; Dustin Duran, Billings.
Light heavyweight (171-190) - Anthony Sullivan, Billings; Matt Cardwell, Bozeman.
Heavyweight (191-plus) - Hollis Huggins, Bozeman; Nate Ellestad, Billings; Kyle Burch, Billings.
On the bubble - Bryant Acheson, Billings, either light heavy or heavyweight.

Why are we Atheists?
By BUMPY
Added: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:51:00 UTC
My Aunt was at my house the other day. My Aunt is a catholic, I am an Atheist (I think most of my family are atheists, almost all are 'non-religious'). Everyone knew all this and it was no source of tension (to the point of, whilst playing cards, exclaiming, "Another Ace, Aunt?! Are you getting God to cheat for you?"
Anyway, the point of this discussion is to tell you about a remark she made just the other day. Basically she implied, quite casually, that my atheism stemmed from me being an agumentative kind of person - just 'that type'.
At the time I didn't object, I just thought to myself "What? I'm not an atheist because...". But by then the conversation had moved on. Had I been quicker to retort, it would have been along these lines:
"Now wait a minute, I'm not an atheist because of some 'teenage-rebellion'-like feeling. It comes from something much deeper. I'm interested in the truth. I'm interested in whether or not God exists, as a matter of fact. Having thought about it, I don't think God really exists."
I think we should all learn a lesson from this - always make sure people don't write your atheism off as stemming from a desire to disagree with authority... from disagreeing just for the sake of it. If people hear it as an invitation to consider the possibility that God doesn't exist, then that is surely a good thing.
Any thoughts?
Simply ... should I read the bible?

Healthy Soil
Healthy Science
A healthy soil consists of a matrix of biology that directly links with the supply of nutrients, soil structural integrity and in plant disease defense
Precepts for Soil Health Characterization:
The Soil Health Tool is a set of soil test procedures recently developed through a cooperative research project of Woods End Laboratories and Dr. Rick Haney (USDA-ARS). The project was launched after the 9th International Symposium on Soil and Plant Analysis held 2005 in Mexico. It is an open-source, non-proprietary set of methods which comprehensively integrate soil nutrient recommendations with soil biological traits.
THE CONCEPT: Soil Health relates to the active concept of soil fertility, as opposed to a passive one. Soil testing and fertilization is based on modifications of the 19th century German Liebig & Mitscherlich models of plant growth controlled by the least available nutrient. In that view soils are managed to remove nutrient limitations and replace elements taken out due to harvesting crops. The fact that soil and plants interact in the search for and supply of nutrients and that soils actively sustain and defend plants, has been treated as an interesting theory, and largely ignored (if not actively discredited) until recently.
Two new tests from Woods End – CO2-respiration and Labile Amino-N, help review soil biological potentials.
NEW VIEW: Soils participate intrinsically in providing a wholesome environment for plant growth, even as plants actively participate in building and sustaining soils. This is known from many long term plot studies. The best way to describe the new view is a circular matrix of fertility building, recognized by modern ecologists as a form of niche construction.
SOIL TESTING: To become more environmentally relevant (and to remain truly scientific) soil testing must take account of the underlying biological properties of the functioning plant-soil system. The present harsh economic realities for growers means we can no longer ignore these factors. If soil nutrient supply systems can be better harnessed the economic upside to growers is huge. It is increasingly inappropriate to continue pouring phosphorus into soils that have received more than a ton/acre of P in the last decade, most of which is still present but "hidden" in soil.
WOODS END ROLE: Since 1974 Will Brinton has been interested in means to express soil quality. Woods End Laboratory was founded largely due to the dilemma of nutrient calculations for farmers choosing not to use inorganic fertilizers. Early biological (organic) farmers were forced to translate NPK tables into manure or compost nutrients even though the manner of biological nutrient release and its calibration to conventional soil tests were unknown. Woods End Laboratory performed early research on the ways "green manure" crops interact with soil. More recently Brinton developed a rapid assay for soil biological CO2 respiration (named Solvita after Solum vita),- with the hope of bringing the biological issue more to attention as in "seeing is believing".
TekmarTorch Analyzer for Soil Water Soluble Carbon and Soluble Organic Nitrogen an essential component of the soil health measurement.
USDA ARS ROLE: The additional linkages helping create the Soil Health Tool package were refinements by USDA ARS of the soluble carbon test and a 24hr CO2-burst protocol. This work was underway by 2000 if not earlier. The new soluble carbon test relates to the biologically active soil carbon pool. The CO2 burst innovation helped make 24hr testing realistic and reproducible in a lab environment. Basal respiration – the original Solvita test – remains a foundation stone for investigating soil properties as they exist naturally.
NEW SOIL EXTRACTANT: The issue of harsh or highly buffered soil extractants was a further step. The concern is the modern practice to fertilize to high reserve nutrient levels as determined from aggressive soil reagents, such as Mehlich3. The practice obscures the gentler organic-P cycle. Under some circumstances this source may supply ample P to plants on top of background weakly soluble pools.
A European soil chemist where Brinton trained noted that the normal reagent concentration that soil and plants effectively experience "should be about 0.01 molar". Instead, labs especially in the USA use either high molar concentrations or highly buffered reagents – in some cases 50 times more powerful than anything present in soil. The new "H3A extract" developed in Dr. Haney's lab contains plant-relevant organic acids at low concentrations. It is 60-times lower in ionic strength than a standard soil lab extract (compared to Modified Morgan). Importantly, being weakly buffered, its seeks more the pH of soil rather than forcing that soil to a fixed pH which may be irrelevant to circumstance.
CORNERSTONES OF SOIL HEALTH TESTING: Putting all the new tests together – active respiration, water soluble carbon, a new extractant – results in what USDA calls the SOIL HEALTH TOOL. Woods End labs is presently one of 2 -3 commercial labs now offering this approach, building on Woods End's efforts over 30 years to integrate biological tests into chemical procedures. As a work in progress, it needs a period of time where it may be compared to past approaches.
SHORT-TERM HOPES? With new excitement for soil health evident across wide sectors of farming, a caution is needed for those who seek to prove (or disprove) quickly the theme of soil improvement via new soil tests. Soil improvement is slow and takes place over decades. So too, declines are also slow and therefore not noticed to the extent that they should have been. A new example concerns sensitivity of soil tests to show relevant gains in a short time frame. It has been determined in the EU that it is not possible to prove gains/losses in soil carbon in less than 2 years without a statistical sample of 100 samples per field examined. For routine sampling, a resolution more precise that 5 tons/carbon/acre is barely possible. By drawing on some of the best long term and organic-plot studies conducted especially in Europe over the past 3 decades, we can learn to appreciate the required "imprecision" in short-time of soil quality measurements.

Back in March, it was reported in the Journal of Neurosurgery that a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh had developed the new imaging technique High Definition Fiber Tracking as a tremendous breakthrough in the way doctors could examine traumatic brain injuries. The tracking process allows doctors to look directly at broken neural connections, which may help them finally understand and even predict how a TBI worsens after the initial accident and first wave of damage.
According to an article from Science Daily on March 2, Pittsburgh neurosurgeon and associate professor at the university's Department of Neurological Surgery David Okonkwo, MD, PhD believed then...Read More »
Although the idea of wearing a helmet to prevent injuries seems like common sense, head injury remains the most common cause of death and serious disability from bicycle crashes, according to the US Center for Disease Control. Around 70 percent of children ride bicycles, but it's estimated that only 15 to 25 percent use bicycle helmets. Since helmets are the best protection to prevent injuries, researchers proved their effectiveness through impact and crush tests, as reported by Health Day.

California Governor Jerry Brown recently vetoed a bill that would have added a $1 fee to the cost of a moving traffic violation in order to fund spinal-cord research. California would have joined eight other states that use a similar method to fund research and defend the fee because auto accidents are the number one cause for spinal cord injuries. However, the Los Angeles Times reports that the argument for the bill is "well-meaning but misguided," and states that increased traffic fines should instead pay for underfunded basic services.
In 2000, a law was passed to fund spinal injury paralysis research through California's general fund. While the law was in place for 11 years, over 300...Read More »

I am wondering what people have to say about the SMP Saddles, more specifically the Glider, Stratos and the Evolution. I am a little confused as to what size I should get?
How big are your sit bones, which one do you use?
Actually I just bought the Glider, picked it up today at my local LBS. They said I could try it out and switch it up for one of the others if I did not like the Glider.
My main concern is size. I am coming off a Selle Italia SLR XC Gel flow 129mm, 170g. The Glider is 136mm/260g, Stratos, 131mm/250g and Evo at 230g/129mm (Stratos w/less cushioning).
My sit bones are 111-115mm depending on the measuring device, Trek vs. Specialized Assometer. The Assometer claims I should be on a 140mm saddle On my mtbs I ride the SDG Belairs which are 140mm , comfy but just a hair too wide. I called the guy at Albabici.com, he said that the Glider would be too big, Stratos or Evo for sure.
I love the SLR and the minimal cushioning it provides. Made me sit on my sit bones, but really sucked when in the drops. Too much pressure and I could not hold that position too long. Drops feel awesome in the Glider!
Still have to ride the Glider outside but on the trainer w/o bike shorts it felt wide, like I was sitting on the edge of the cut out.

Looking for a way out
Water, sewer users seeking rate relief
NEW HARTFORD — The town's bond attorney says the way the town has divided the responsibility for repaying a loan for the wastewater treatment plant is not legally binding.
Attorney Judith A. Blank of Hartford sent a letter in advance of a joint meeting of the boards of the selectmen and finance and the Water Pollution Control Authority on Tuesday at Town Hall. Approximately 50 people concerned about exorbitantly high water and sewer user rates attended the meeting in the senior center.

Summary: "Weddings today are a $70 billion business, yet no one has explained how the industry has become such a significant component of the American economy. In Brides, Inc., Vicki Howard goes behind the scenes of the various firms involved - from jewelers to caterers - to explore the origins of the lavish American wedding, demonstrating the important role commercial interests have played in shaping traditions most of us take for granted." "Howard reveals how ...show more many of our customs and wedding rituals were the product of sophisticated advertising campaigns, merchandising promotions, and entrepreneurial innovations. Tracing the rise of the wedding industry from the 1920s through the 1950s, the author explains that retailers, bridal consultants, etiquette writers, caterers, and many others invented traditions - from the diamond engagement ring and double-ring ceremony to the gift registry to the package-deal catered affair. These businesses and entrepreneurs, many of them women, transformed wedding culture and set the stage for today's multibillion-dollar industry." Entertaining and informative, Brides, Inc. reveals the origins and development of this most exemplary American enterprise and brings the story up to the present with a discussion of such new phenomena as David's Bridal and the gay wedding industry. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 06

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Down's Syndrome
Principal Investigator: JORGE A BUSCIGLIO
Affiliation: University of California
Country: USA
Abstract: Down's syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is the most common autosomal aneuploidy that survives birth and it is the single most frequent genetic cause of mental retardation. The number of DS patients in the.United States is estimated to be more than 350,000. Abnormal mitochondria! function cause selective neuronal degeneration and is associated with a variety of disorders including DS. During this grant period, we have obtained results indicating that: 1) mitochondrial dysfunction exist in DS neurons and astrocytes, which leads to aberrant amyloid (i precursor protein (APR) metabolism and intracellular amyloid IS (Afi) accumulation;2) there are mitochondrial structural and functional alterations in DS neurons, astrocytes, fibroblast and lymphoblastoid cells;and 3) the mitochondrial localization of Mfn1 and Drp1, which are proteins that participate in the regulation of mitochondrial morphology and activity is altered in DS brains and DS cultured cells. We hypothesize that mitochondrial dysfunction in DS may lead to a persistent deficit in energy production and chronic oxidative stress, two critical factors in the development of DS neuropathology and the development of AD in DS subjects. To further understand the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in DS, we propose the following specific aims: 1) to characterize the structural and functional alterations in DS mitochondria;2) to characterize the molecular determinants of mitochondrial dysfunction in DS;and 3) to analyze mitochondrial alterations in limphoblastoid cells of DS patients, and to determine the relevance of mitochondrial dysfunction as a predictor of AD pathology in DS. Normal and DS brain tissue samples, normal and DS cortical neurons, astrocytes and fibroblast cultures will be utilized to characterize mitochondrial structure and function and to study the molecular components involved in DS mitochondrial dysfunction. Fibroblast and limphoblastoid cells derived from normal and DS subjects will be utilized to analyze the existence of mitochondrial dysfunction in peripheral tissues, and limphoblastoid cells will be used to evaluate the relation between mitochondrial dysfunction and the presence of AD in DS subjects. These experiments will provide novel information on mitochondrial structure and function in DS that may be critical to understand the role of energy impairment in neurodegenerativedisorders, and to design therapies directed to prevent neuronal dysfunction and the progression of AD neuropathology in DS patients

I'm the lanky type with exceptionally long arms in proportion to my torso diameter. I loathe buying shirts online because they are, inevitably, either too short in the arms or baggy around the middle - but I've been pleasantly surprised by Icebreaker in the past, so I rolled the dice. This time I lost. Without the thumb holes, an elastic cuff, or a little extra length, these sleeves are DRAFTY.Aside from that and a stiff zipper that billows out slightly when seated, it's fantastic. Warm, well built, great fit on the torso, and killer looks. If you have more proportionate measurements, you would probably love it.
I have a similar 320g RealFleece sweater from Icebreaker that I have worn a lot over the last 3 years. The Legend is cut somewhat larger all around, and is just a bit longer. The cut works perfectly for me. I am 5'10" and 175 lbs, 33" waist and wear a M. The extra layer of 200g wool quilted front and back looks and feels great, and makes the sweater super warm. Kind of cuddly but not at all bulky. The black color and Icebreaker's fantastic merino wool are finished so well I wear it most days at work.

Italian Heritage Month
I remember the meatballs, known as polpette, from my childhood as patties of meat about 1 inch wide and flat, like a crab cake. We pan-fried them and ate them with a side dish of vegetables or salad, or in a sandwich. The Neapolitan meatball is much smaller, fried and used in between layers of lasagna without being cooked in sauce. The Italian-American method is another story, with the meatballs usually measuring 2 to 3 inches in diameter, cooked in tomato sauce. Since October is Italian Heritage Month, I thought my version of Spaghetti and Meatballs which is somewhere in between, would be a perfect recipe to share here. This recipe can be found by clicking on the link or in Lidia's favorites Cookbook (Alfred A Knopf, 2011).
Welcome Back NY
Family Day – A Day to Eat Together at the Table
Sunday is the eighth anniversary of Family Day, a day when families are encouraged to spend time together, especially around the dinner table. Family is very important to me, and I encourage all of you to celebrate this special day and either cook together, eat together (or both) and most importantly be together. Below are some suggested recipes that I love making for my family that will hopefully inspire you to do something with yours.
I love potato gnocchi, and I had all of my grandchildren in the kitchen with me at young ages to help with the shaping of the gnocchi. The ricotta gnocchi are quicker to make as there are no potatoes to cook and also good for starch-conscious eater. The sauce can be just the cheese, but you can drizzle on some tomato sauce or pesto if you like. This recipe can be found by clicking on the link or in Lidia's Common Sense Cookbook. (Alfred A Knopf, 2013)
For those who love their pasta but have a busy Sunday schedule this year, the Olive Oil and Rosemary Spaghettini is a super quick and flavorful dish. Serve with a salad, and you have a perfect excuse to gather the family around the table. This recipe can be found by clicking on the link or in Lidia's Common Sense Cookbook. (Alfred A Knopf, 2013)
My London Broil Steak with Sun-Dried Tomatoes Marinade is tender and flavorful and uses an inexpensive cut of steak if you have a big family gathering. This recipe can be found by clicking on the link or in Lidia's Common Sense Cookbook. (Alfred A Knopf, 2013)
If you have a little extra time on your hands this day, show your grandkids lots of love with a dish that takes a little extra time but goes a long way. Pasticciata alla Bolognese (This recipe can be found by clicking on the link or in Lidia's Family Table (Alfred A Knopf, 2004)
Getting Ready for Fall: Apples
I love getting ready for apple season, and this delicious cake was passed down from my Nonna Rosa. I still enjoy making it with my grandchildren during this time of year. Grandma Rosa's Apple Cake found in Lidia's Common Sense Cookbook ( Alfred A Knopf, 2013).
88th Feast of San Gennaro
On Thursday the 88th Annual Feast of San Gennaro begins in NYC. It is the longest running festival which will take place for 11 days. It begins on Thursday September 11 and runs through September 21. For those who are in the NYC area be sure to explore this feast, for those who are not in that area you can bring that experience into your home by making zeppole found in Lidia's Italy in America Cookbook (Alfred A.Knopf, 2011) or sausage and peppers found in Lidia's Favorite Recipes Cookbook ( Alfred A Knopf 2012). This always reminds me of a great feast. Enjoy!
In and around Trentino-Alto Adige
Trento is famous as the setting for the Council of Trent (1545-1563), which gave rise to the Counter-Reformation. There are many places to visit, but my favorite is the Castello di Buonconsiglio, which overlooks the city. Inside, the frescoes of the Labors of the Month give an accurate portrayal of medieval life, highlighting everyday activities. If you enjoy these cultural tidbits, there is more information in Tanya's Tours at the end of each chapter in my cookbooks Lidia's Italy (Alfred A Knopf 2007) and Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy (Alfred A Knopf 2009) available at www.lidiasitaly.com.

With football letter-of-intent day coming up Wednesday, we had some time this week to look at Washington State's recruiting. I talked with WSU coach Paul Wulff as he was riding down the highway in California, where he's spent a lot of time this past offseason. It's seemingly paid off, what with 14 players from the state having already given WSU a commitment. The Cougar coach didn't talk specifics – he can't until the players sign – but he did talk about the process and how he felt it went. Read on for the unedited version of the story that will appear in Sunday's paper.
• Here's the story …
PULLMAN – Paul Wulff can't wait for Wednesday.
Think a kid the week before Christmas. Think vacationer en route to Hawaii. Think fly fisherman headed to St. Joe's mayfly hatch.
Washington State University's football coach can't wait for letter-of-intent day to arrive. And he has his reasons. Somewhere around 25 of them.
"I said this a number of years ago at (Eastern Washington) when we brought in a couple special classes back-to-back," Wulff said last week. "This is the type of class that can bring you a conference championship.
"These type of classes that we are bringing in, the last one in addition to the one we're bringing in this year, it would really surprise me if they don't have the potential to bring a championship to Washington State."
Pretty bold words from a coach of a team coming off a 1-11 season. But Wulff is that enamored with the group he and his assistant coaches have attracted.
"There is enough talent and enough kids with the right character from the neck up, they just have that ability," Wulff said, riding through California's Sacramento Valley en route to talking with more recruits. "It's not a prediction, but I do feel very strongly this is the type of group that can do that."
Though Wulff cannot talk about individual players until they sign, he can talk about the process.
Some of the headliners of the class expected to sign Wednesday include local products like tight end Aaron Dunn of Mead, the only WSU recruit to earn a four-star (out of five) rating from Scout.com. Two other local players, Shadle Park tight end Jake Rodgers and quarterback Connor Halliday of Ferris, will send in their letters of intent on signing day.
WSU's list of recruits includes two junior college offensive linemen, Wade Jacobson and David Gonzalez, who are already in school. Of the 20 other committed players, 14 are from California, five from Washington and one, linebacker Eric Oertel, from Wisconsin.
Only three Cougar commitments came from the West Side and one, Woodinville High defensive end Maxx Forde, is a legacy. His father Brian played linebacker at WSU in the mid-1980s. The other two: offensive lineman John Fullington from North Mason High, who committed about a year ago, and speedster Blair Bomber from Lynden High.
"We got some really good players from the state of Washington," Wulff said.
But two rankings of Washington seniors – Rivals.com and Scout.com – have no more than two WSU recruits in their top 10 (Rivals has Halliday at No. 9 while Scout has Dunn at No. 3 and Rodgers at No. 10). UW has attracted six of the Scout group and five of Rivals'.
"They got good players in their backyard, players we liked," Wulff said of WSU's cross-state rival, "but we got good players in our backyard as well, players they also recruited."
The overall rankings of the classes varies as well, with Scout listing WSU's group of commits 35th nationally (it ranks 120 schools). Rivals has the Cougars 84th out of the 137 schools it ranked. Such numbers draw disdain from some.
ESPN's Tom Luginbill, who oversees the sports network's recruiting coverage, thinks such lists are worthless.
"In my opinion, going outside of say a top 10 or 15 is nothing more than a crapshoot," Luginbill told Buster Sports' Nick Daschel last week. "Especially when you are getting into the 30s, 50s or even 80s. Personally I think it is ludicrous that anyone would have actual published rankings in the 80s. All it does is make you look less credible."
Wulff feels the same way.
"It's really obvious kids rankings jump tremendously when they commit to a certain school," he said. "And some kids don't change when they commit to other schools. It's kind of funny.
"It's so false and unreliable. Unfortunately, people look at these rankings and put credence into them."
What do coaches put credence in? The players' build, athletic ability, academic record, character and numerous other criteria. What Wulff is looking for are players who fit his program.
"I want kids who are coming for a purpose, a mission and goal they are striving for," he said.
When asked which areas Wulff felt were the strongest in the class, he pointed to offensive line – Jacobson, Gonzales, Fullington, Rodgers and Asante Cleveland, who like Rodgers was recruited as a tight end but may end up at tackle, are all 6-foot-5 or taller with frames that can carry 300 pounds or more – and wide receiver.
"We improved in the athleticism and frame of body on our offensive line," Wulff said, "and the same thing at our receiver position. Those two positions in this class are very, very good."
Though schools can only bring in 25 new recruits each year, they often sign more than that, as some players may not qualify academically and others may delay enrollment until next spring, a process called grayshirting. One player who did that last year, junior college defensive end Bernard Rankin, is on campus and is expected to contribute this fall.
"He's a lot bigger than we thought," Wulff said. "He's 280 pounds now – he played at Butte (College) at probably 245 pounds – so he's gotten bigger. Some of that is he's a little out of shape, because he missed a year playing, but he also got stronger."
Though there are only a few days left, Wulff's staff isn't done – as his phone call's location indicates. WSU hopes to attract a couple more defensive linemen and possibly another defensive back.
"We've already picked up some size at the cornerback position, some physical presence," Wulff said. "Same at the safety spot as well."
Erick Dargan, a highly touted safety from Pittsburgh, Calif., has told Scout.com he's down to two schools: Oregon and WSU. Two of his high school teammates, Robert Jiles and Tracy Clark, have already committed to WSU and, if Dargan joins them, the Cougars class jumps a notch.
Whatever happens, Wulff is already pleased. So much so, he will tour the state touting the class. The first stop is Wednesday night at 6 at the Northern Quest Casino.
"We're still trying to fill a couple spots we have open," Wulff said. "At the same time, the core of this class is done and committed and will sign on Wednesday. It's very exciting."
Sort of like Christmas.

Man Reviews Neighbors' Late-Night Karaoke
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 11, 2012 6:57 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. When free speech causes problems, the cure is often more free speech. A British man tested that theory when his neighbors exercised their right to stay up late singing karaoke. Britain's Daily Telegraph says Oli Beale responded by posting a board with reviews. When the neighbors sang "Pinball Wizard" at 2:23 A.M., Mr. Beale called it terrible. "Walk This Way" was the low point, while "Tiny Dancer" was judged actually very good. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

TCEQ removes Port Arthur from Air Pollutant Watch List
AUSTIN/PORT ARTHUR - From TCEQ
After a steady decline in chemical concentrations, support from area industries, and extensive public comment, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has formally removed Port Arthur and Lynchburg Ferry from the Air Pollutant Watch List.
Air monitors at the Port Arthur City Service Center, initially installed in 1997, have shown annual average benzene concentrations below 1.4 parts per billion (ppb) for five consecutive years. Monitors located near the Houston Ship Channel, initially installed in 2003, have shown that the number of individual hours with an ambient styrene concentration above 25 ppb has decreased significantly since 2005 at Lynchburg Ferry.
"Removing both of these areas from the watch list is an excellent example of how seriously the TCEQ takes air quality," said TCEQ Chairman Bryan W. Shaw, Ph.D., P.E. "Through industry efforts to reduce pollutants, coupled with our extensive monitoring, Port Arthur and the Lynchburg Ferry area have shown incredible improvements, and the Texas coast has cleaner air."
Monitoring data show that ambient concentrations are no longer of potential concern to require the areas to be included on the APWL; however, the TCEQ will continue to conduct monitoring at both locations to ensure that chemical concentrations remain low.
On Oct. 8, 2013, the agency held a formal public meeting to receive comment on the Port Arthur delisting, and held a similar meeting on Aug, 19, 2013, on the Lynchburg Ferry proposal. For those unable to attend, public comment was also accepted by mail and e-mail. A summary of the comments, and the agency's response, is available for review on the APWL Web page.

The Energy industry is experiencing the most significant change in 100 years. Analysts expect worldwide investments of US$ 378 Billion by 2030 in Smart Grid deployments which will help to better manage demand response and energy efficiency. As the Smart Grid accelerates the utilization of IT and IP Networking technologies, new challenges arise in form of Security risks and the Data explosion. The threat landscape is evolving rapidly and poses a lot of risks against this critical infrastructure that can impact the economy of entire countries. The recent outbreak of Stuxnet demonstrates the potential vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure and distribution systems. Additionally, smart meter and SCADA information must be efficiently managed, protected and the customers privacy ensured.
With the growing implementations of Smart Meters throughout Europe as part of various Smart Grid initiatives, securing those devices effectively against vulnerabilities is critical.
Learn about the risks and threats to Smart Meter networks, which are not effectively secured and managed by Utility Operators. PKI is recognised as a key method to ensure that your clients data, and your sensitive corporate communications infrastructure and information is protected effectively. We will share with you a number of Device Certificate Projects we have implemented, together with a number of key considerations you should take into account when you are designing your network.
