For immediate release - Wednesday, December 21, 2005.
Contact Bob Brammer - 515-281-6699.
DES MOINES. Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller announced today that ConocoPhillips Company has agreed to policy changes that are expected to discourage underage tobacco sales at over 10,400 gas stations and convenience stores operating under the Conoco, 76, or Phillips 66 trademarks. [Click here for a link to the ConocoPhillips agreement.]
"This is important because almost half of young people who buy cigarettes say gas stations are their primary point of purchase," Miller said.
Iowa was one of 40 states to enter into the accord with ConocoPhillips, one of the nation's largest oil companies. Miller's Office initiated the group of states working to reach such agreements with large tobacco retailers, and similar agreements have been reached with Walgreens, ExxonMobil, Wal-Mart, and others.
Miller said about 10,136 outlets affected by the new agreement are independently-owned businesses with contracts that allow them to operate under one of the ConocoPhillips trademarks. (Another 327 are company-owned.) Under the accord with the attorneys general, ConocoPhillips agreed to include provisions in these contracts expressly requiring compliance with legal prohibitions against tobacco sales to minors. There are currently 268 outlets in Iowa covered by the agreement, Miller said, all independently-owned and operated.
"For too long, underage tobacco sales simply were not taken into account in such franchise relationships," Miller said, "even though such sales harm our young people and erode a company's standing as a good corporate citizen. ConocoPhillips is taking a very positive step by building this important issue into its franchise and trademark license agreements, and we commend them for it."
More details on the ConocoPhillips agreement with the states:
When franchise and trademark license agreements are renewed or new ones are entered into, ConocoPhillips will require franchisees and trademark licensees to report to company headquarters any underage tobacco sales infractions that occur, through law enforcement "stings" or otherwise. "The reporting requirement, coupled with the awareness that violations can jeopardize the right to operate under company trademarks, should be a powerful motivator for independent operators to do everything they can to keep from selling tobacco to minors," Miller said.
ConocoPhillips has also agreed to write to each franchisee and trademark licensee each year to remind them of the importance of preventing tobacco sales to minors and the fact that non-compliance with underage tobacco sales laws could constitute grounds for ending their right to operate under the ConocoPhillips trademarks at the non-complying outlet.
In addition to the requirements relating to independently-owned and operated retail outlets, the agreement with the states contains a series of policies and procedures that will be implemented fully at ConocoPhillips' 327 company-owned and operated stores - and will serve as a model set of safeguards for more than 10,000 independently-owned and operated outlets.
The policies and procedures for ConocoPhillips' company-owned outlets include:
Miller said this is the eighth multi-state agreement with a nationwide or large regional tobacco retailer. Similar agreements have been reached with Walgreens, ExxonMobil, BP Amoco, Wal-Mart, ARCO, Rite-Aid and 7-Eleven. Combined, the agreements affect more than 55,000 retail outlets across the nation.
Iowa Asst. Attorney General Steve St. Clair and California Asst. Attorney General Alan Lieberman led the states' negotiating team in the ConocoPhillips matter.
"Restricting over-the-counter access to tobacco by minors is an important aspect of a public health battle that must be waged on several fronts," Miller said. "A large majority of smokers become addicted by their mid-teens, and the earlier an addiction to tobacco takes hold the tougher it is to quit and the more likely it is that a tobacco-related disease will result. But if a person can reach young adulthood as a non-smoker, he or she will probably never become a victim of tobacco addiction. Clearly, shepherding our young people through the most vulnerable teen years is key to disrupting the pattern of addiction and disease."
The agreement, called an "Assurance of Voluntary Compliance," noted that 47% of youth who report buying cigarettes identify gas stations as their primary point of purchase, and another 27% identify convenience stores. The agreement further noted that every day in the United States more than 2,000 people under the age of 18 begin smoking, and that a third of them will one day die from a tobacco-related disease.
Under the agreement, ConocoPhillips also agreed to pay the Attorneys General $125,000 for the costs incurred by the states in investigation and negotiation.
The 40 participating states are AZ, AR, CA, CO, CT, FL, HI, ID, IL, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NY, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI and WY.

Metallic Cocoon Sweater Top
don't buy
I was very unhappy with this sweater. first, I paid extra for it to arrive early and it took forever to get it. Lastly, when I took the sweater out of the package it had several pills in it. I went to a store to possibly exchange it and noticed that all the sweaters had pulls in it. The sweater was just poorly manufactured.

Threads Pull Out!!
I loved this sweater so much! It's gorgeous BUT the first time I wore it threads just started pulling out and the ends were just hanging out and it started to look awful! I thought that I must have gotten the sweater caught on something and pulled the threads. I came home, tried to cut the hanging pieces and wore it again a few weeks later. Again more and more threads just pulled out and it made the sweater look cheap, old and worn. I threw it out I was so disappointed! I did not get the threads caught on anything! it is just so darn delicate that if you put it on, it ruins!

Hey guys n gals,
I've been working away at building a 3d printer as of late and I wanted to print a few Federation ships somewhere along the line, so I figured I'd look into pulling the models directly from the game, which is surprisingly easy..
There is some weirdness due to 3ds max 2014 not liking the .obj files, but I think most of them are fine.
So for those interested....
Ships I've captured are:
-Advanced Escort (aka Proemtheus class with a few modifications)
-The Chimera heavy prototype destroyer (named Amber in the files)
-Aventine Class
-Luna class
-Wells class temporal science ship (Voyager 'Relativity')
-Mobius class temporal destroyer
-Odyssey class
-Sau Paulo class
And there's a file in there named 'random ships', it's just a capture of a heap of random player ships orbiting Earth spacedock.
There are both .max and .obj available, and I'm happy to bounce down any others that 3ds max can bounce, just let me know.

Mass Effect 3 Summary
Mass Effect 3 Review
Also known as: Commander Shepard - Like a Bawss.
Latest news
Dragon Age: Inquisition began life as a multiplayer project
It may be currently winning plaudits for its expansive singleplayer campaign, but Dragon Age: Inquisition had something of an unorthodox beginning.
Talking to Gamesindustry.biz, Bioware's Mark Darrah revealed that the game started out as a multiplayer prototype some time before the release of Dragon Age 2.
Bioware will support Inquisition's multiplayer "far beyond" that of Mass Effect 3
At first glance the recently revealed Dragon Age: Inquisition multiplayer mode looks a hell of a lot like the one found in Mass Effect 3 - lots of enemies to blast, little bit of character customisation and a bunch of classes to choose from.
Speaking to Destructoid though, a BioWare representative claimed that the developers would be supporting the online mode "far beyond" the point where they signed off on their sci-fi franchise.
Casey Hudson leaves Bioware after 16 years
Casey Hudson, probably best known as the executive producer of the Mass Effect Trilogy, has left Bioware after 16 years with the studio.
In a letter posted publicly by Bioware, Hudson said he wanted to "take a much needed break, get perspective on what I really want to do with the next phase of my life, and eventually, take on a new set of challenges."
The mighty Mako will return in the next Mass Effect game
Good news for fans of dodgy yet somehow loveable vehicles - according to Bioware the mighty Mako will make a return in the next Mass Effect game.
The Escapist report
EA to unveil "at least six new projects" at E3 2014, Star Wars: Battlefront confirmed
In their latest earnings call, EA has teased they've got "at least six new projects" in development and they'll be unveiling details at this year's E3. A "major new game" due in Q3 2014 will be shown.
They mention it's powered by Frostbite 3 so it's very likely Dragon Age: Inquisition, which is due around then. EA also mentioned Battlefront is progressing "very, very well."

18K yellow gold plated brass oval pendant necklace with coated dark blue or titanium druzy and cubic zirconia details
Material: 18K yellow gold plated brass, druzy, and cubic zirconia
Brand: Marcia Moran
Origin: Imported
Marcia Moran's exquisite handmade stud earrings, cuffs, and other jewelry designs make ample use of druzy: super-sparkly, semi-precious gemstones coated in crystals. Set in 24-karat yellow gold-plated brass or rhodium-plated metal, Moran's creations vary from pristine and polished to rough-edged and asymmetrical: think chandelier earrings and pendant necklaces embellished with perfectly cut green agate or blue chalcedony, as well as stackable ring sets accented with rough-textured, glittering druzy stones. A former dentist, Moran imports many of her materials from her native Brazil, which she left in 2003 for Los Angeles and a new career as a jewelry designer. Marcia Moran is as bold as her jewelry.

Conspiracy nuttery, with just enough truth to confuse the gullible
Alex Jones could find a conspiracy in a slightly burned piece of cereal, surmising that all the other pieces had a vendetta against that one. That's how his mind works. His neurons are as ragged as his tiresome, gravelly voice.
Jones is a global warming denier who ignores basic physics and thinks human machinations somehow override the laws of nature. Jones claims to not be a right winger, but he's as scientifically dim as most of them. How can his lines of reasoning be trusted in other areas? Look at the whole picture with these nutcases if you think they just happen to get it right on some issues.
Thinking people wouldn't waste their time with this pseudo-documentary, except as comedy along the lines of Glen Beck's infamous chalkboard that links whoever to whatever by means of simplistic meandering.

For whatever reason, the companion library full of supporting documents and files for the Alex Jones ENDGAME movie have been removed from the Archive.
However, the complete library .zip archive (version 1) can still be downloaded from the mirror links below. This library is a very valuable resource for convincing the skeptical of the shocking revelations made in the ground-breaking movie.

WOW! Alex Jones' Masterpiece
You can kind of ignore his earlier bits about the concrete owl and all that. But this... this is a really well reasoned, highly polished piece of work. Earlier cycles of recorded human history seem to be repeated here - the tower of Babel, the 'immortality machines' of the Pharaohs, alchemy and the search for the "philosopher's stone" and the fountain of youth. Everywhere set to the backdrop of elitism and enslavement of the masses. No reasoning mind can ignore the parallels.
There is yet a bit much of the 'megaphone monologue' style of Jones, but don't let these interludes keep you from the rest of the film, just jog through them or whatever. The documentary parts of it are stunning, almost breathtaking in their sweep, sincerity, and resonance.
Given this was compiled in 2007, you might also want to get up-to-date with these links;
I'm certain Jones will be updating the film at some point. I think the three intervening years demonstrate the 2007 films accuracy all too well.
Tesselator -
Not just a "must see".
The host site ( www.endgamethemovie.com ) remarks: "Endgame is not conspiracy theory, it is documented fact in the elite's own words." and I can personally vouch for this film's 100% factual content. In fact the only thing in this film that I have not verified EXTENSIVELY on my own is where Alex says that one of the goals of the Eliets is to "live forever and explore space". I've never come across that documentation personally but I probably wouldn't have either. I am primarily concerned with what they want to do to me, my family, and my fellow man here on Earth. But if true this is a MASSIVE flaw in the logic of the Elites! They think they can have less than a billion people in the world and still develop and employ the technology needed to assist longevity and space travel? Ha! It took us far more than that nearly all in one place, before we could even get such programs off the ground. But this follows with their [The Elites] record of misunderstandings about how society, industry, and research work and why - so it kind of follows.
I've had my eyes open since the early 60's to international bankers, the hijacking of the US government, and some of their plans concerning the USA and the world at large. I'm a retired aerospace engineer and have had various degrees of clearance over the years depending on the project. So just a few hints as to what I know first hand.
I haven't researched Alex Jones's personal life but as best I can tell he's a man who from a passion for the right to bare arms (a healthy passion IMHO!) has been forced to become very serious about and delve very deep into, the fields of political science and world history. As far as I can tell he is well deserving of an honorary Doctorates in those fields. This combined with his passion and love for HONEST investigative reporting - a rare commodity these days, the concepts of Truth and Freedom - rarer still, and an agile and well balanced mind have lead him to create and release such films as "Road to Tyranny", "Police State" and "Terror Storm".
"End Game", his latest film as of this writing, is his best work to date and shows that he has also embraced with aptitude the mechanics and art of film-making. "End Game" as a documentary approaches and surpasses even the best works by Ken Burns. It must be noted here however that Alex Jones's films were not created for the purposes of recognition and profit as other productions are. Mr. Jones is a man of great conviction. Perhaps the greatest compliment to him would be to say that Alex Jones is no more and no less than a passionate whistle-blower! Of course the real compliment is saying so resides in the qualification of the term "passionate" - mastering 4 career fields which usually require the normally motivated person more than half a lifetime each to accomplish, in order to make sure he was getting it right and then jeopardizing life and limb to make certain that message was delivered. In this way Alex Jones could be described as a modern day John The Baptist of sorts.
In the 60's when I was all about digging into these things I just assumed that there would come a day when all men were like Alex Jones and faced down the evils that pursued them. I have since taken to the understanding that such an assumption was naive. Alex Jones and the influence that "End Game" should have on the American Republic and North America in general, may prove to reverse the later and re-instill a true hope for the former!
In conclusion "End Game" is not just a "Must See" film but a film that MUST be seen by an entire nation! It must be talked about at every bar and in every pub, in parks between new mothers, at the mall by teens, at the gym and at work by career professionals. It should be required viewing at every university and college. It should occupy a space in the consciousness of the entire North American continent and remain there until we the people do something about the hijackers, murderers, liars, and thugs that have put themselves and their friends into positions of power.
It is often said that if the people of Germany could have been tipped off in the late twenties or early thirties to the terrors of Nazism and the horrors that awaited that they would surely have risen up collectively as a people and put a stop to it. We find ourselves at the same crossroads only this time we have our tip-off in "End Game" and a means to get that tip-off into almost every home in North America through electronic transmission and the hand to hand passing of physical discs costing less than a notepad of paper.
What will we do? What will YOU do? Will we even try to stop these Nazi bastards this time around? For the sake of 6 billion (6,000,000,000) people world-wide I certainly hope that we will!

linen daily apron
by FOG LINEN WORK
Yumiko Sekine started her first business in 1993 curating used books and housewares from Europe and America to import in Japan. During her ventures for new products, she searched for every day linens she remembered using during childhood. She was disappointed to find there were no linen products available for every day use and so she decided to go to the source. She visited Lithuania, a country that grows flax to spin into linen and has been producing and exporting linen products since the Middle Ages. After meeting several producers in Lithuania she became inspired to design her own collection of linens and have them produced there.
Her first collection began with only seven items. Now after ten years, Fog Linen Work produces a large assortment of linens ranging from clothing to products for the home. Sekine is inspired by the natural lifestyle trends of Japan, creating products to enhance daily life through a simple yet beautiful aesthetic.

Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
In some areas in the Caribbean, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, dengue fever, malaria and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in some areas in the Caribbean, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks and impairs the immune system, resulting in a chronic, progressive illness known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).

You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Possession of illegal drugs, including marijuana, could lead to a large fine or imprisonment. Drug trafficking is a serious offence. Pack all of your baggages yourself and do not carry items that do not belong to you.

Motorcycles are contrary forms of transportation. People who ride them, by and large, don't want to be confused with SUV owners. They're bikers. And a beefy V-twin cruiser dripping with chrome and oozing machismo is the poster child for that rebel attitude. It's no surprise that cruiser sales represent the lion's share, about 50 percent, of a booming motorcycle market. But an old-school (read: modestly performing) cruiser just isn't edgy enough for some. Enter the power cruisers: a rowdy group of muscle bikes that takes cruiser-style riding to an exhilarating new level. These bikes are one part hot rod, one part sportbike -- and several buckets of attitude -- wrapped in taut, muscular bodywork. Power cruisers blast down the dragstrip, leaving regular motorcycles sniffing tendrils of tire smoke. We gathered the latest of the breed from Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory and Yamaha and spent
a week with them -- in the city, on the highway and in the canyons near Los Angeles. Since all-out acceleration is priority No. 1 for these machines, we also had professional test rider Danny Coe blast each one down a dragstrip 2800 ft. above sea level. (Our times would have been even quicker at a sea-level track.) Here is what we learned.

The Night Rod is the rock star of this group. It's mean and menacing and it made us feel cool just standing next to it. Its intoxicatingly techy baritone V-twin growl and seamless acceleration curve come courtesy of engine design help from Porsche. The Night Rod was the third quickest bike at the dragstrip. Even though Harley is known for low-tech, comfy cruisers, the Night Rod has a sophisticated powerplant bolted to a rather uncomfortable chassis. The riding position requires arms stretched forward, a bit like doing a lat-pull exercise at the gym. That makes the Night Rod the most difficult bike to corner at slow speeds, so this is not our favorite bike for a long-distance cruise or a trip through the canyons. But more than one buyer is willing to make the compromise. Because, wherever the Night Rod shows up, people just stare. This Harley is the second most expensive bike here. That money brings near custom- quality construction, the inimitable Harley-Davidson cachet and a bike that's as much fun to look at as it is to ride.

Price: $14,849 Engine: 1795cc, liquid-cooled, 52-degree V-twin Compression ratio: 9.0:1 Valvetrain: SOHC, 3 valves per cylinder Fuel System: EFI |
Transmission: 5M Final Drive: Shaft Suspension F/R: Suspension F/R: 45mm inverted forks/dual shocks, preload adjustable Suspension Travel F/R: 4.3 in./3.9 in. |
Brakes F/R:Dual 296mm discs/316mm disc Tires F/R: 130/70-R18/180/55-R18 Wheelbase: 67.5 in. Seat Height: 27.6 in. Dry Weight: 743 lb. |
If we had to ride one bike year-round, this would be it. The VTX1800F is the teacher's pet in this classroom of hooligans. It's so easy to ride and so well-mannered that even a green rider could probably handle it. The Honda's size and seat height made it the favorite for our shorter testers. It's great for weaving through traffic and carving corners. Like most things Honda, the VTX feels like it was relentlessly massaged by nit-picky engineers. Every switch and lever moves as if Teflon-coated. And all this is amazing considering the bike's design debuted in '02. But don't be misled by the Honda's persona: Danny Coe ran the quarter-mile in 12.90 seconds at just over 102 mph, only a bike length behind the Harley. As much as we like the Honda mechanically, its look is a bit vanilla in this group of extroverts. Without our bike's bright red paint and splashy graphics, the VTX would blend into the cruiser landscape. Still, this is a fantastic piece of engineering and it feels as though it would run like new for decades.

Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 Classic
Specifications | ||
Price: $12,999 Engine: 2053cc, liquid-cooled, 52-degree V-twin Compression ratio: 9.5:1 Valvetrain: Pushrod, 4 valves per cylinder Fuel System: EFI |
Transmission: 5M Final Drive: Belt Suspension F/R: 49mm forks/single shock, rebound and preload adjustable Suspension Travel F/R: 5.9 in./3.9 in. |

At first glance, the Vulcan 2000 Classic seems out of place here. It just doesn't have that power cruiser look. Heck, this thing has floorboards and a rear pillion large enough for Santa Claus. But the Vulcan has the largest V-twin in the group. And that engine sends giant dollops of low-end grunt to the back tire. In fact, though the Vulcan's quarter-mile time of 13.30 at 100.51 was the slowest in the test, its 0-to-30 time was the fourth quickest. That means more than a few very sporty bikes will be surprised when this big Kawasaki leaves them at a stoplight. The Vulcan certainly doesn't pretend to be a handling machine; it's really at home gobbling up the miles on secondary roads and freeways. This Kawasaki is comfy, stable and a great muscle bike for flying below the radar.

Suzuki Boulevard M109R
Specifications | ||
Price: $12,599 Engine: 1783cc, liquid-cooled, 54-degree V-twin Compression ratio: 10.5:1 Valvetrain: DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Fuel System: EFI |
Transmission: 5M Final Drive: Shaft Suspension F/R: 46mm inverted forks/single shock, preload adjustable Suspension Travel F/R: 5.12 in./4.66 in. |
Brakes F/R:Dual 310mm discs/275mm disc Tires F/R: 130/70-R18/240/40-R18 Wheelbase: 67.3 in. Seat Height: 27.8 in. Dry Weight: 703 lb. |
The M109R is the newest member of this club. And Suzuki has done its homework: The M109R was the second quickest bike at the track, pounding out a blistering 12.08-second quarter-mile at 110.53 mph, or nearly a half-second quicker than the next quickest bike. And more important, the Suzuki had the quickest 0-to-30-mph time of all the bikes here. The accolades belong to Suzuki's engine designers. The all-new engine is an animal. It thrusts the bike forward with so much power, we needed to gather our thoughts before deciding to crack that throttle wide open. And it's not a bad idea to practice First-to-Second shifts: The Suzuki's otherwise smooth gearbox is notchy in the lower gears. Though the Suzuki feels large, this bad boy likes to corner. Blessed with big brakes and an inverted front fork, the M109R can be throttled up to hyperspeed and brought down below the legal limit in a very short distance. It's incredible to ride hard on twisty roads--just point, shoot and reel in that sportbike rider. In fact, the more we rode this bike, the more we wanted one in our own garage. The only thing holding us back is the fussy, "Jetsons" styling and inexpensive-looking plastic bodywork. We'd like actual metal--and better-quality chrome, too. Still, the M109R exemplifies the modern power cruiser.

Triumph Rocket III
Specifications | ||
Price: $14,999 Engine: 2294cc, liquid-cooled, inline 3-cylinder Compression ratio: 8.7:1 Valvetrain: DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Fuel System: EFI |
Transmission: 5M Final Drive: Shaft Suspension F/R: 43mm inverted forks/dual shocks, preload adjustable Suspension Travel F/R: 4.8 in./4.2 in. |
Brakes F/R: Dual 320mm discs/316mm disc Tires F/R: 150/80-R17/240/50-R16 Wheelbase: 66.7 in. Seat Height: 29.1 in. Dry Weight: 704 lb. |
If ever a bike lived up to its name, it's this beast. The Triumph's engine delivers 140 hp and 147 lb.-ft. of torque. Woof! It was the only bike to run in the 11-second quarter-mile bracket. Be warned: This is not for the novice. The Rocket III isn't forgiving and it doesn't coddle. Quickly cranking the throttle wide open in just about any gear results in an accelerative force that is downright frightening. But for the skilled, experienced rider, the Rocket is one fun and rewarding ride. It's neat to know that the Triumph can bury anything on the road. In day-to-day riding, the Rocket handles pavement irregularities nearly as well as the cushy Kawasaki. Bend the Rocket into a corner and the bike feels big and heavy. On a tight mountain road it takes some muscle to tackle quick transitions. The Triumph has the tallest seat height of the bunch, too, so shorter riders need not apply. Like the Honda and Harley, the Rocket III exudes quality, and it feels much more expensive than its price tag suggests. When raw muscle matters most, the Triumph is the undisputed heavyweight champion.

Victory Hammer S
Specifications | ||
Price: $19,747 Engine: 1634cc, air-cooled, 50-degree V-twin Compression ratio: 9.8:1 Valvetrain: SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Fuel System: EFI |
Transmission: 5M Final Drive: Belt Suspension F/R: 43mm inverted forks/single shock, preload adjustable Suspension Travel F/R: 5.1 in./3.9 in. |
Brakes F/R: Dual 300mm discs/300mm disc Tires F/R: 130/70-R18/250/40-R18 Wheelbase: 65.7 in. Seat Height: 26.4 in. Dry Weight: 657 lb. |
When pushed to select the bike they would own, most of our riders pointed to the Victory. Next to the Harley, the Victory is the toughest looking of these roughnecks. The Hammer S has the most comfortable riding position for actual cruising. Its laid-back handlebars, eye-level analog gauges and well-placed, wide footpegs drew praise from everyone. Yet despite the relaxed riding position, once the road turns twisty, the Hammer S takes a set and hangs on as long and as deep as any bike here. Even with its massive 250mm rear tire, the Hammer, with its well-tuned suspension, is easy to ride fast. Downside: On longer freeway rides, that relaxed riding position is exactly perfect to catch the pounding wind. At the heart of the Hammer S is its strong, torquey motor, though it certainly isn't the most muscular in this test. Only the Kawasaki was slower in the quarter-mile. The six-speed transmission has a double overdrive--great for cruising. But the transmission feels like it belongs in a tractor, not a sophisticated, modern motorcycle. And the Victory is the priciest bike here by a wide margin. Writing a check to Victory buys exclusivity: There aren't many Hammers parked at the usual biker haunts.

Specifications | ||
Price: $12,549 Engine: 1670cc, air-cooled, 48-degree V-twin Compression ratio: 8.3:1 Valvetrain: OHV, 4 valves per cylinder Fuel System: EFI |
Transmission: 5M Final Drive: Belt Suspension F/R: 41mm inverted forks/single shock, rebound and preload adjustable Suspension Travel F/R: 5.3 in./4.3 in. |
Brakes F/R: Dual 298mm discs/282mm disc Tires F/R: 120/70-ZR18/200/50-ZR17 Wheelbase: 65.6 in. Seat Height: 28.7 in. Dry Weight: 613 lb. |
The Warrior is lighter and more nimble than the rest of these bruisers. Its riding position is upright and reminiscent of a traditional standard bike's. No surprise the Warrior is a favorite for both canyon work and the daily commute. The Yamaha builds confidence in its rider. Between its frame rails sits an air-cooled V-twin that rumbles and shakes like a true hot rod--the bike pulsates with every revolution of the crankshaft. And that direct connection to the engine gives this bike a lot of its personality. At the strip, our test bike was handicapped by the fact that it was built mere days before our test and wasn't yet broken in. But wind the throttle wide and the Yamaha lets out a satisfying bark and leaps off the line. Though this isn't the sexiest bike here, the Yamaha has a subtlety that appealed to our most seasoned riders. Plus, it's the least expensive bike of the group. If the cruiser of your dreams has some sportbike DNA, slide a leg over a Warrior and hit your favorite section of snaky two-lane blacktop.

Minka Kelly Gossip
Minka Kelly gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
What happened to Sandra Bullock?
Pacific Coast News
Chris Evans and Minka Kelly have dated twice. And broken up twice. About a year ago the last time. Pop Sugar just posted new photos of them on a taco run together. Tacos? With tacos, you're either just friends, like JUUUUUST friends, or, you know, you're that comfortable being MORE than friends. Full Story
Minka Kelly & Jake Gyllenhaal: F-ck Buddies?
You remember that episode of Sex & The City – The F-ck Buddy? Dean Winters played Carrie's f-ck buddy. Great sex in between relationships, always down for a hookup, but then she wondered if there was more…and there wasn't, which ruined their f-ck buddy situation forever and that, really, was the great loss. Full Story
Minka Kelly & Chris Evans are over
SPW/ Splash
US Weekly just broke that Minka Kelly and Chris Evans broke up. For the second time…? They dated in 2007. They re-dated last year. And now "it just didn't make sense for them to be together right now". Apparently it's distance. Full Story
Lenny in The Butler and Minka & Chris's staggered exit
They're pushing The Butler as an award contender possibility, opening strategically at the same time of year as The Help and hoping for a solid box office to carry it through fall and the long season. My colleague Traci Melchor was just at the junket last weekend. She loved it. She said it was Lenny Kravitz's performance, among all those BIG NAMES, that really stood out. Full Story
Black Widow, Falcon, and oh yeah, Captain America
Sharky/ Gene Young/ Splash, Ilya S. Savenok/ Getty
Chris Evans is not on my Five List. So while he may have the title of the movie, he doesn't get the title of my post. Not when Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie are around. Here they are shooting Captain America: The Winter Soldier in Washington, DC yesterday. Why does Falcon have to wear a sweatshirt? Why can't they put him in a skin-tight tee? Why can't I be the one laughing at his jokes? And when you think Natasha Romanoff, do you think this hair? I don't understand it at all. Full Story
MET Braids: Minka Kelly & Emmy Rossum
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
There were a LOT of braids at the MET Gala last night. As Duana pointed out, it's like they all think the Khaleesi and Cersei Lannister's hair counts as punk on its own. I can get down with the braid as part of a punk outfit, and you know, I've almost never hated a braid, but it doesn't quite elevate when it's matched with a purple very safe Carolina Herrera gown (are her breasts too low?) and an equally safe, horribly unimaginative Donna Karan. Full Story
Minka Kelly and Chris Evans hold hands identically
Pacific Coast News
Minka Kelly and Chris Evans were photographed hand in hand leaving Bootsy Bellows in LA on Saturday night. They were photographed leaving Bootsy Bellows in exactly the same way back in January -- click here for a refresher. The difference this time? Minka is blonde now. Full Story
Minka & Chris are official
They've been official for a few months now, of course, but holding hands while *knowingly* papped is a new stage in a celebrity relationship. This means that they know that we know that they're together and that they're no longer interested in hiding it, nor do they care that we can see it. Full Story
Casting Cap's Lady
There are three roles being cast by Marvel right now that are attracting a lot of attention. Two of them, Ant Man and the as yet unnamed "American Pilot" in Guardians of the Galaxy, we're still a year or two away from hearing about. But the role of Captain America's leading lady is in the final casting stages now as the film is scheduled to shoot in January. Full Story
Minka & Jake?
The last time we caught up with Minka Kelly, she was on a mega downgrade from Derek Jeter with Wilmer Valderrama - click here for a refresher. Minka forgot that you're not supposed to take your shamef-cks out in public. It now appears that it's out of her system. Full Story
Daylight & Shame F-cks
I wrote about Minka Kelly's mega downgrade a couple of weeks ago. Someone forgot to tell her that the whole point of a Shame F-ck is that you don't have to take it outside.Minka and Wilmer Valderrama were flown out to Sydney last week to attend a club opening. Full Story
Minka's mega downgrade
People.com is reporting that Minka Kelly and Wilmer Valderrama were all over each other the other night at a club in LA. GROSS.MEGA DOWNGRADE.Minka was seen maybe getting back together with Derek Jeter in January Full Story
Minka & Derek holiday in Paris
They confirmed their split in August. By October he was back in South Beach with her and a reconciliation was inevitable. Click here. Then Charlie's Angels was cancelled, eliminating one reason, maybe the only reason, for them to be apart. So here are Minka Kelly and Derek Jeter over the holiday in Paris and in love. Full Story

Courtesy California Asparagus CommissionA warm spring has pushed California asparagus fields ahead of schedule. Historically most growers in California don't begin harvesting until mid-March.Although disking isn't the most desirable, Barbara Cecchini, who farms west of Stockton, Calif., said she doesn't want to start off the season in the red.
She planned to disk part of her fields and had hoped to secure a processing contract for the remaining production.
"I don't care if I make money — what I don't want to do is lose money," Cecchini said. She pointed to the 2013 season, which started out with strong prices that soon dipped.
"I can't afford to lose money again — I won't start if it's a losing thing," she said.
Cherie Watte Angulo, executive director of the El Centro-based California Asparagus Commission, said Cecchini was smart to not pick with prices so low.
"This year it's just horrible — a lot of growers are being forced to postpone the start of the harvest," she said. "If the price doesn't rebound, they will just keep disking.
"They can't run red ink at the beginning of the season and expect to make it up during the season. Every year we're playing catch-up, and it's not an enviable situation."
The increasing competition from Mexican production is the main reason why California's acreage and production has decreased, Angulo said. Heading into this season, she predicted the state's growers would harvest about 34 million pounds — about what they have the past three years.
That compares to the peak of 94 million pounds in 2000 before the North American Free Trade Agreement eliminated all tariffs on imported asparagus.
"Long-term, we can't continue to have this problem," Angulo said. "Our growers aren't going to continue to have asparagus in the fields. It's not an economically sustainable crop if we have to play this game every single year."
Asparagus is considered a permanent crop, with crowns buried in the soil pushing forth spears during the spring. Disking lops off one crop of spears, but it's not as gentle on the crowns as having workers selectively cut them, Cecchini said.
Her costs, without any extra packing requirements, are about $25 per 28-pound box, she said. Subtracting out shipping and marketing expenses, Cecchini said she receives about $16 per box.
She said she needs that much to just break even because her labor costs are so much higher than counterparts in Mexico.

I posted about applying to a Pet Store and as soon as I did that I knew that my Mother or her Husband would make a dead Rabbit joke. I had 2 different Rabbits when I was a teenager, both of the died. One died because he broke his leg and no one wanted to "waste their time" taking it to the vet to get him fixed up. The other one died because you're not supposed to feed a Rabbit celery and I didn't know that at the time.
The joke didn't bother me that much when it was first made, but it's a joke that's been carried on through the years and it is beginning to really piss me off. Obviously neither of these deaths were my fault and especially because no one wanted to take the first Rabbit to the vet.

Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
wanted to trey it how is it
You forgot the eye
Maybe color it Purple,Red,or Black. Not Blue.
lol if the manga is colored, i would stop downloading animes.
I think the moon is supposed to be red, it would make the picture look much more ominous, but I like the color you used for the juubi. not to shabby
i like it...except for the ground..
It needs shading and lighting (if the moon is yellow, that would mean it reflects a yelow-ish light). Also, since it seems it's night, the shades would need to be deep and strong. About the colors: The Juubi as ya want it, but the ground has a very bright and unsaturated color, wich does not balance the image.
i wasnt tryin to harrd with the land scap to be honest
You did a Really nice Job coloring it
I have never coloured any image on the base so all i can say is nice job.
