The School of Curds and Whey
Earlier this summer, Washington got a dose of serious cheese, when California-based Cowgirl Creamery set up shop in Penn Quarter.
With a few months underfoot, the Cowgirls are expanding their in-store offerings, including sandwiches, wine and cheese-tasting classes.
Last night was the first in a series of Thursday evening classes focused cheese tastings, led by cheesemaker and CG co-founder/owner Sue Conley.
Our small group gathered in a back food prep area, cheerfully set up with all the tasting trimmings -- cheese, bread and wine glasses. Yesterday's focus was the basics of cheesemaking, with an overview on simple, fresh varieties such as fromage blanc, chevre, ricotta and mozzarella, with tasting notes on the milk of four different animals (cow, goat, sheep and water buffalo) and what happens along the way, from farm to cheese board.
Conley steered the conversation towards seasonality of cheese, pointing out that goats, sheep and buffalo don't produce milk during winter, which inevitably affects supply as well as cheese texture.
To that end, CG makes two seasonal cheeses - St. Pat., a dome of soft cow's milk, wrapped in a rind of stinging nettles, available from March 17 (ergo, the name) until late September - and Pierce Point, (released this week), the same cheese, but yielding a very different experience simply by changing the rind. In this case, it's muscato wine and an herb blend that includes chamomile, calendula and fennel.
The third round of cheese included more rinds -- washed (brushed with a brine solution), natural (from a cave) and bloomy (vegetable ash) -- which although designed to protect the cheese, impart unique flavors and depth, like wine.
The oft-asked question of whether or not to eat the rind was addressed, and the verdict is: Try it, you might like it. If not, remove, and don't worry about it. It's a matter of personal taste, according to Conley.
Over the course of 90 minutes, we tasted a total of nine cheeses, including an opportunity to sip two of CG's new wine offerings (I loved how the Liberty School 2004 Syrah danced with the St. Pat and the Mt. Tam). Conley's passion for the subject is infectious, making me hungry for more cheese school.
Fortunately, there are more classes in the works to satisfy my cheesy curiosity. Next week's session features cheesemaker Pablo Solanet from Firefly Farms, of Bittinger, Md., (Thursday, Sept. 14, 4-5:30 p.m. and 6-7:30 p.m., $12), followed by four tastings in October, details of which soon to be posted on the CG Web site, promises Conley.

Kim, if you happen to visit San Diego anytime soon, check out Venissimo in the Mission Hills neighborhood. This cheese shop has an excellent selection and knowledgable staff. My one complaint is that they're closed on Sundays. We never even bother to make dinner when we buy from Venissimo, and instead put out a wonderful spread of breads, crackers, fruits and chocolates to accompany the cheese. Enjoy!

Jill, your first paragraph seems to imply that we didn't already have options locally. I disagree...have you checked out Cheesetique in the Del Ray section of Alexandria? http://www.cheesetique.com/index.php

LOS ANGELES, January 24, 2012―Like Charlie Brown trying to kick a football, Republicans never grasp the depth of hatred that liberal debate moderators have toward them.
If Barack Obama wants to get reelected, he should encourage the Republican Party to have as many presidential debates as possible in front of "moderators" who wish to slit their conservative throats.
Republicans never learn. The Florida GOP Debate on NBC was another example of a network pushing a leftist agenda. It is time for somebody to finally stand up and say that enough is enough. Conservatives love to make Republican candidates sign pledges.
Well it is long past time that future nominees sign a pledge never to do a primary debate on any network where any of the panelists voted for a Democrat.
That's it. Liberals need to be banned from conservative debates. This is not a freedom of speech issue. Primaries are not general elections. If NBC and MSNBC want to use general election debates to openly campaign for liberals, that fight can be had at that time. Liberals should have absolutely zero say in who conservatives and Republicans pick as their nominee.
There is no need to recap the substance of the debate. There was none. This debate was so bad that Bryan Williams was not even the worst moderator, despite spending the first 36 minutes on questions designed to maximize conflict on issues that do not matter.
As badly as most moderators treat Republicans, Beth Reinhard of National Journal may be one of the absolute worst excuses of a "moderator" to ever be allowed on the stage. The GOP at the highest levels should be forced to explain how she was allowed to ask questions.
Every conservative at some point will complain about liberal bias, but Reinhard could not even hide her contempt for the people she was questioning.
The day before the debate, Reinhard wrote a column entitled, "Will Floridians buy Mitt Romney's schtick?"
She has also made uncorroborated accusations against Ron Paul.
She has implied that Republicans were pro-sexual harassment.
She has compared conservatives wanting secure borders to vigilantes.
She recently slandered Rick Perry as a bigot while smugly…and wrongly…claiming that religious Jews are social liberals. The ignorance was hers, not his.
Her cheap shot at Rick Santorum lacked any cogent political analysis.
Somehow Newt Gingrich receives slightly less abuse.
Does anybody think this is what qualifies a professional to do a GOP debate?
I am an opinion columnist. I am biased. I publicly and loudly admit my biases. For instance, I have decided that I am not voting for Ron Paul. I am undecided between Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney.
So if I were asked to do a debate, I would have two choices:
1) Refuse to do the debate because I have a bias against Dr. Paul.
2) Either personally or through my editor reach out to the Paul campaign and immediately disclose my bias. If Dr. Paul was uncomfortable, I would recuse myself. I would make sure the story was not spun to make Dr. Paul look bad. If Dr. Paul felt my inclusion was acceptable, I would question him in a tough, fair, and most importantly, consistent manner as the other candidates.
As an opinion columnist, I am under zero obligation to cater to Dr. Paul or his supporters. They pillory me for this and I dismiss them. That will continue.
A reporter or moderator of a debate must be neutral and fair. My bias against Dr. Paul would have to be subordinate to my integrity and quest for the truth.
(This is not a Ron Paul thread and propaganda comments for or against any of the candidates will be deleted as off-topic. The topic is the lack of integrity of the debate moderator.)
This is because I understand what Jim Lehrer explains and Beth Reinhard will never grasp. Jim Lehrer is a trusted moderator because he looks in the mirror before his presidential debates and says "This is not about me."
Beth Reinhard made the debate all about her. Her questions were disgusting, and should have been slapped down hard. She spoke in a calm voice, but this woman was far from innocuous. Her questions were biased, incendiary, and lacking in actual knowledge.
"Why didn't the Bush tax cuts work?"
How dare this woman ask such a slanted question! How dare NBC allow this!
A proper response would have been a verbal lashing.
"Ms Reinhard, your head is up your hide. You have never taken Economics 101. You went to a Poison Ivy League University (Columbia) where you learned Socialism and little else. You have no qualifications to claim the tax cuts did not work. You are not an economist. The Bush tax cuts did work. They worked because supply-side economics works. It worked when JFK did it. It worked when Reagan did it. It worked when Bush did it. You could have asked if we believed they worked but instead you chose to let your liberal bias interfere with your ability to ask a neutral question. You are uninformed, and completely wrong."
(This is why I am a public speaker and not a politician or diplomat. I am a fantastic speaker who would fail miserably in an election and get us into a war at the slightest disagreement.)
A couple of her other questions can be paraphrased as, "Why do you hate Latinos?" She wanted to know why the candidates would advertise in Spanish but not allow ballots in Spanish.
This is one area where the GOP does a lousy job of explaining themselves, but they could have said:
"Ms. Reinhard, people who do not speak English are exploited in this country. They are blocked from achieving the American dream. Illegal immigrants are at greater risk of sexual assault. Those not speaking English can be taken advantage of by people who know the American legal system. So those who insist on allowing people to stay in this country without learning English are condemning those people to a life of misery and second class status. That is not compassion or fairness. It is cruelty."
"Forcing people to learn English is tough love in the same way young people are forced to go to school rather than go play. People who learn English simply do better in our society, and our society is about helping everybody do better. The choice is to integrate people into American society or condemn them to a life of misery and rot. The only people failing to grasp this are racial grievance mongers who benefit from exploiting minorities and keeping them down."
She clearly showed her leftist bias in discussing the oil industry, which is another career she does not have experience in. She stated that drilling in the Gulf states would provide 5,000 jobs while an oil spill would cost one million jobs.
She wanted to know if drilling was worth the risk? Again, a conservative could have pounced.
"Your assertions would be tragic if they were not patently false. That is a polite way of saying you simply made that up and have no reasonable basis for letting the words escape your lips. The National Journal where you work may believe that 2 + 2 = 7, but in the real world that is not so. You have no credible facts to back that ridiculous claim, and your hostility to the oil industry is evident. You should admit your biases, and take a clear environmental stand by shutting down your keyboard and never using a product made from petroleum as long as you live. Furthermore, your car has the potential to kill people. If anyone gets in a car accident tonight, your car should be taken from you to protect society. Now leave your automobile behind and go walk to an environmentally friendly mud hut somewhere far away from print writing and television so the adults can have a conversation. "
Until Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are allowed to moderate Democratic debates, Beth Reinhard should not be allowed near conservative ones.
Now the solution is not to have Hannity and Limbaugh enter the debate arena. They are perfectly suited for the arena of opinion, and they concede this. Reinhard is the worst of the media because she had the nerve to pose as a journalist only one day after attacking one of the very candidates she was questioning.
Blaming Reinhard is not enough. Blaming Bryan Williams is not sufficient. Blaming NBC will not accomplish anything. Going after General Electric is useless since CEO Jeffrey Immelt is an Obama shill.
Going after new owner Comcast is not the answer.
Republicans must boycott these primary debates and only speak before credible entities such as Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Heritage Foundation.
If they fail to do this, then the Obama campaign team will coast to reelection. Republicans will have only themselves to blame. How can Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, or Mitt Romney stand up to Iran or Syria if they cannot even slap away a cold, leftist Reinhard hand trying to strangle the campaign life out of them?

[1024] Loss of PTEN Expression but Intact Expression of Mismatch Repair Proteins (MLH-1 and MSH-2) in Atypical Polypoid Adenomyomas of the Uterus.
Michael Cruise, Teri Longacre, Edward Stelow. University of Virginia, Charlottesville; Stanford, Stanford, CA
Background: hosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene located at 10q23 that encodes a phosphatase that works within the AKT pro-apoptotic pathway and the MAPK pathway to regulate cellular growth as well as other functions. Mutations of PTEN have been implicated in inherited cancer syndromes such as Cowden disease. Patients with this disease typically develop multiple hamartomatous tumors and are at increased risk for breast, thyroid and endometrial cancers. Mutations of PTEN are present in up to 83% of spontaneous endometrial adenocarcinomas, making it the most frequent molecular genetic alteration seen with these tumors. Additionally, deficiencies in mismatch repair proteins are frequently seen with endometrial carcinoma. Recently, we encountered a patient with Cowden syndrome who developed an atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) of the uterus which prompted an investigation of the prevalence of loss of PTEN and mismatch repair protein( MHL1 and MSH2) expression in APAs.
Design: A series of APAs were reviewed and diagnoses were confirmed. These included a mixture of curettage and hysterectomy/polypoidectomy specimens. PTEN, MLH1, and MSH2 expression was examined using immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. Cases were considered to be PTEN reactive if they demonstrated cytoplasmic staining of the glandular component of the APA and non-reactive if there was no cytoplasmic staining of the glandular component but the stroma or other internal control tissues was reactive. Similarly, MLH1 and MSH2 were considered positive with nuclear staining of the neoplastic cells, and negative if the neoplastic cells were negative but an internal control was positive.
Results: Immunohistochemical staining for PTEN demonstrated a total of 12 of 20 (60%) cases with staining of the glandular component of the lesion. A total of 7 of 20 cases demonstrated stromal and/or squamous metaplasia positive for PTEN but no staining of the glandular component. All of the cases retained expression of MLH1 and MSH2.
Conclusions: PTEN expression is lost in a subset of APAs, albeit less so than is seen with endometrial carcinomas. There was no loss in the expression of mismatch proteins. Uncommonly, APAs develop in patients with Cowden disease.

Easy! If I like a movie, I'll wind up seeing it a lot (1 because I have no life, and 2 because I live less then 10 minutes from a movie theater). I saw Muppets 7 times overall when it was out (5 in theaters, 2 on DCL).
Printable View
thanks big brother!
yes sir.
My wife and I went to see Brave tonight (there's your gender answer btw, I'm a guy :grin:) and while it wasn't at the top of the list of my favorite Pixar movies I thought it was solid. I also thought the story was pretty well thought out and tied various plot lines together nicely.
It's really not the usual princess movie (an unfortunately easy charge) since the focus is so strongly on the mother/daughter connection. I can't recall a single Disney animated princess film that does this to be honest. In all of them the mother has died or is otherwise not around. Seriously, can anyone remember one that has such a strong focus on mother/daughter rather than evil step moms, stern dads, or kindly widowed dads? Aurora's parents in Sleeping Beauty are around but are well, kind of just moping around the castle.
It's nothing really groundbreaking but it's still well done. Thumbs up from my side.
my thoughts too.
relax every one. remember that others may perceive the printed word differently than you do
Maybe it's because I went to a concert in Pennsylvania an hour and a half away last night and didn't get back until 12:30 this morning and now it's 5:45, but here's a summary of Brave's weekend box office that is making my brain hurt:
Disney/Pixars Brave dropped to three, grossing another $34 million for a $131 million total gross. The film dipped 48% from last weekends launch much less than the 60% drop from 2011s Cars 2. The decline is just slightly more than 2010s Toy Story 3, although that had the added bonus of opening to more than $110 million during its first weekend.
I suppose that's good.
Um, or bad...
All depending on how you look at it.
Realistically speaking.
Exactly. Home for 12:30, bed for a bit after 1, up at 5:07. My brain couldn't process the true meaning of that review, so I posted it and left for the train.
While we're all discussing movies and trailers and what not, the preview for Frankenweenie didn't exactly blow me away, either. I hope there's more to the movie than what they're suggesting in the trailer.

Riffs: How does Prince's Vikings anthem measure up with Bootsy Vegas's "Hail to the Redskins" go-go remix?
As this year's NFL season winds down, a pattern emerges: Losing teams will be serenaded with really cool songs performed by incredibly obscure artists while winning teams will be serenaded with dreadful songs written by legendary superstars.

Exhibit B: Prince's freshly-penned ode to the Minnesota Vikings, "Purple and Gold."

That is the official home page for the Tokyo parks.
That is a good guide.
TokyoSea is smaller and can be done in a circle in a day. Like DCA it is the orphan second park that is not as much loved. I received the Japanese language guide to this park from a trader and it is rather easy to do. All you have to do is go right or left and stay toward the outside of the circle. You can then loop around and see everything with out doubling back.
The Transit Steamers are a easy way for lazy people to get to the back of the park. They are a water taxi. On the left side is a trolley ride but walking usually is easier.
I will add more when i get it.

USA Cycling's Deft Management Touch
I'm going to make this item relatively short. Partly because the deafening silence I received in response to the Tyler Hamilton screed tells me you all largely don't care about the Feds; and partly because with certain actions, the organization proves that you all are right not to care. The following case in point is one such.
Last Thursday, Gerard Bisceglia, the CEO of USA Cycling, was resigned from his job. I say "was resigned" because Bisceglia's initial comment was that he'd been fired. The official line was that he offered his resignation. Turns out, both are right: he was essentially forced to resign. This is all fine, except that by most accounts, Bisceglia had been doing a good job. The resignation came for no legitimate reason he can discern and typically, that speaks of a power struggle. In this case, Bisceglia lost.
The people who asked for his resignation were the board of directors who, Bisceglia noted in an interview with VeloNews, are disproportionately weighted in favor of a small number of the organizations' membership. Three of 12 seats belong to US Pro, which represents about 150 registered pro cyclists. Three others belong to the USA Cycling Development Foundation, which represents juniors and espoirs cyclists. However, they are more narrowly interested in their own specific development programs (like the Belgian espoirs facility run by Noel Dejonckheere, which has a much narrower constituency). What's more, many of these people have external ties to Thom Weisel, the San Francisco investment banker who owns the Foundation. (Jim Ochowicz, the board's President, is employed by Weisel's investment firm.)
Bisceglia was not universally loved, but the way his departure was handled has raised some hackles; and it's inspired a bit of well deserved "I-told-you-so" rhetoric. Mainly from people like Les Earnest who, when the board was re-structured years ago into its current configuration, pointed out that the restructuring made possible just this sort of situation. The appearance, at least, that a small group of decision-makers - secure in power and insulated from criticism - could effectively take control of the organization and make decisions whose benefit to the license-holding membership was debatable at best. All this could be done without the threat of repercussions. Which begs the question: Just who the hell is USAC supposed to represent, anyway?
Bisceglia has responded to the situation by retaining counsel to explore his legal options. In a two-part interview with VeloNews' Charles Pelkey, he leaves little doubt about his views on the issue.
To which I respond: So what? USA Cycling's real importance these days is vastly diminished. The organization actually does very little in terms of adding value to racing - it exists primarily to support track racing and act as an executive arm of the Development Foundation. Those are valuable things, but hardly irreplaceable.
If USA Cycling ceased to exist tomorrow, few people would notice. The Amgen Tour of California was a huge success, due almost in zero part to USAC's efforts. The Sea Otter Classic I just attended has long stood on its own two legs, and been at odds with a number of USAC agendas. The NBL, the BMX-racing wing of USAC which operates as almost an autonomous republic, would not miss a beat without its USOC-recognized master. Regular amateur racers would notice little change in their events. Even track racing and development would rebound quickly, boosted by the same kind of grassroots volunteerism that has long wallpapered over USAC's dysfunction.
The primary reason being floated for Bisceglia's dismissal was that he didn't get along well with the UCI. But that might have been his best attribute, as the UCI has even more problems than USA Cycling. I'm beginning to believe that, with the level of ingrained politics found down in Colorado Springs, no CEO could possibly be entirely successful. Had Johnson not stood ready to take the job - had it been actually put up for an executive search - I feel the position might have been the sports equivalent of FEMA director: a hopeless task no sane and competent manager wants. And those ingrained politics, the layers on layers of external relationships, possible improprieties and quid pro quos, are precisely the problem. USA Cycling doesn't need a new CEO. It needs a new board.
New Sea Otter Gear
You've already read about the new Shimano XTR, and I'll spare you the "first ride" reports some folks have offered because A). I didn't ride the stuff and B). a parking lot spin, which is all that Shimano allowed, tells you nothing. You can learn more about how the stuff works by watching Adam Craig (Giant) and Walker Ferguson (Scott USA), who rode the new drivetrains to wins in their respective dirt crit heats in Sea Otter's soupy muck. On those grounds, the new stuff seems to work just fine. I will reserve judgment about it, however, until a time when I can actually put miles on it.
But Sea Otter has rapidly become the de facto spot for companies to roll out new gear. Never mind that it's still April and shops have just started selling this year's gear. No, we need more, we need the stuff that's so new you can't even buy it yet, and we need it now, damn it. Who am I to stand in the way of progress?
And yet, even with the new XTR, the new SRAM road groups and the hints from FSA that it plans to release full drivetrains soon, one of the most interesting bikes at Sea Otter was Trek's new 69er singlespeed hardtail. Yay, progress.
Singlespeeds are rarely revolutionary, but the 69er promises to make us think, at least. The bike is the brainchild of longtime Trek-VW racer Travis Brown, who told me it's about the 12th iteration of singlespeed one-offs the company has produced for him since 1998. The project has been evolving since then and, in a departure from past efforts, Trek plans to sell the bike to the public. How many? "Thousands!" exclaimed Brown. No, not really.
The 69er uses a 29-inch front wheel and a 26-inch rear wheel because, said Brown, in testing he has come to the conclusion that the majority of benefits from larger wheel sizes are found up front. Big wheels often cause problems on the rear wheel.
Brown explained: "In testing 29ers I went from a skeptic to someone who was very interested in how they could help. But the benefits aren't universal. A big rear wheel causes problems with chainstay length, and it's also heavier. And I came to find that half of the positive benefits came from cornering traction, which is more dependent on the front wheel."
The net effect, says Brown, is that the design "takes advantage of 29ers' cornering ability. You can weight the front wheel more than on a 26-inch bike and really carve the turn."
Did someone say carve? That's funny, because Carver Bikes have been offering a similar bike since August 2004, called the 96er. One might assume that there's a patent fight in the offing, but Davis Carver says that he knows of no patents on bikes with different sized wheels. On balance, he said, the company considers Trek's entry to the market a compliment but, "they probably could have been a bit more original with the name." In Trek's defense, 69er is a lot more catchy.
Trek offered the new design as a singlespeed because it's an easy and low-risk way to try out the idea on the public Significantly, Brown said he feels the idea has even more application in other aspects. "For shorter-travel XC bikes, it's a really good idea," he said. Brown and fellow Trek brands stable mate Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski tested 26- and 29-inch versions this past winter on a rocky climb. They gave a clear performance advantage to the 29er, even though both riders felt it was slightly slower. Brown says he also feels that a 29-inch front wheel offers the same effect as increased travel, so an 80mm fork feels closer to 100mm. To try out Brown's FS suspicions right now, you'll have to buy a Carver. The company is set to release a full-suspension frame in a few months. Find out more from Carver Bikes.
Also new is the ProCaliber, Gary Fisher's short-travel XC bike. It's an old name on a new frame. The design - the top model of a new frame line for Fisher - is built around 80mm of single-pivot suspension and pedal platform stability shocks (like the Fox RP23 featured below). The bikes will start around $1,700 complete, and run up to $3,100 for the top-end ProCaliber.
Fox also released its 2007 line, with some significant changes to forks and shocks. Fox's new stuff can probably best be described by its technology rather than model name. Foremost among the innovations is ProTune, the latest refinement to TerraLogic, aka the automatic lockout feature. This year, it's called TrailTune, and ProTune expands it to essentially offer a full range of lockout threshold adjustment, which is also said to be refined in feel - older TerraLogic forks suffered a pronounced lag in suspension movement on the first hit. The new technology is said to be much more subtle. Essentially, we're moving steadily closer to automatic lockout working like it should. The new technology will be found on the top forks in each range from the F series through TALAS. For those who don't like automatic lockout no matter how it works, Fox will still offer its RLC and RL forks, with all the latest and greatest technology while keeping the manual lever lockout.
Also in line is a chassis redesign of the 32mm forks (same range as above), which should offer stiffer forks with better steering. 2007 TALAS forks get an improved adjustment knob allowing riders to adjust travel with a 90-degree turn of an external lever (no more twisting the dial while the fork slowly telescopes in or out). It will be found on all new TALAS forks.
Out back, the improved Float RP shocks offer a wider tuning range for the ProPedal platform damping. The top RP23 shock will offer three-position tuning over a broader range. Two-position damping is found on the new RP2 shock, but that is an OE model only. Prices have not been set.
Elsewhere, Orbea is now offering the Alma carbon fiber hardtail as a 29er, and we spotted what appears to be a new Avid disc brake aimed at the gravity market. The brake, which may be named Code, was spotted on a bike at the GT tent. It's a four-piston hydraulic model with the pad contact point adjustment found on the Juicy 7 and Carbon models. The bike also featured eight-inch rotors, although not in the wavy pattern Avid uses on its other brakes. SRAM offered a four-piston brake in the past. But that was prior to their acquisition of Avid; the old brake was made by Grimeca and is no longer available. SRAM does not currently offer a true gravity-oriented brake, although the Juicy Carbon does feature rotors up to 203mm in diameter (eight inches).
On the new brake, the pad contact dial has been moved to the front of the lever and made flush with the body, presumably for durability reasons. Avid would not discuss the brake. But the model we saw was cosmetically finished-looking, which would indicate it's soon to be released. By contrast, the 2007 XTR parts on display were clearly prototypes, right down to the hand-etched serial numbers on the trigger shifters.
Avid also has a new top-end disc above the Juicy Carbon. It's called the Juicy Ultimate, and features a magnesium reservoir, carbon fiber lever and a one-piece forged aluminum caliper, which should be lighter even than the Carbon. Rotor sizes will include 185 and a rear-only 140mm for weight weenies.
Adam Craig not only ran prototype XTR to his short-track win, but rode a prototype carbon fiber Anthem frame in the event. It's said to be quite a bit lighter than the aluminum version, and there is also a carbon fiber Trance (the company's mid-range XC platform) in the offing.
The George Hincapie Roubaix Conspiracy Unmasked
Did Tom Boonen secretly saw through George Hincapie's fork steerer, causing him to crash on the cobbles at Paris-Roubaix? Or perhaps did Trek send George a fork from its 1986 back stock, which had been used as a weathervane in Lance Armstrong's yard. Maybe the exposure to the elements caused premature material fatigue, and that's what happened?
Hell, we'll probably never know. But from the amount of press that's been given to the fact that Hincapie crashed at Roubaix and broke his fork off has incited no small amount of pondering and opining out there. Deepening the mystery was Cyclingnews' pre-race run-down on Georgie's proto, which included a photo caption identifying the fork as coming from Trek's "Satellite range."
When asked about it, Trek marketing manager Zapata Espinoza said that Trek had mistakenly provided Cyclingnews with incorrect information about the fork, and that it was actually an OCLV fork from the Pilot 5.2 and 5.9 bikes.(Pilot, Satellite; po-tay-to, po-tah-to.) There are subtle differences between Pilot OCLV forks and those used on the Madone series, but nothing that would have contributed to a crash, said Espinoza. The Pilot forks are slightly taller, offering a more laid-back head angle and therefore, presumably, more stability in steering; and the steerers are bead-blasted and anodized. They are made in Waterloo, said Espinoza.
The curiousity stems from a couple of things: One, the upper headset race is an uncommon place for a fork to break and, two, it's Hincapie - Boy Georgie, who after last year's Tour performance is suddenly touted as a contender. Typically, carbon forks break at the legs or the crown, where aluminum steerers - which Hincapie's fork had - separate from the carbon. Steerer tubes rarely shear off and, if they do, almost never at the upper headset race - leading to the theory that an earlier crash at 30km into the race may have somehow damaged the steerer via excess twisting on the handlebar and stem. Hence the media fracas. Hincapie, it was reported in numerous press releases and news reports, will not require surgery on his fractured collarbone and should be OK in time for the Tour de France.
Now, for a Really Serious Story
Hincapie's injury notwithstanding, the hubbub over that issue seems a tad overblown. He fell, his fork broke; he'll be okay. Not overblown was VeloNews' excellent coverage of Saul Raisin's much more serious injury (and coverage on Bicycling.com by my colleague in Europe, James Startt). After a hard fall at the Circuit de la Sarthe last week, Raisin was put into an induced coma to reduce pressure on a brain hemorrhage and, at one point, doctors refused to offer even a guarded prognosis.
After surgery and continued monitoring, Raisin came out of his coma on Wednesday and appears to be responding well and improving. Fears of partial paralysis are so far allayed by his ability to use both hands. But Raisin is still exceptionally weak and has a long road to recovery.
If you've not heard of Raisin, it's because he doesn't ride for a big American team, but for the more modest Credit Agricole squad from France. He scored his first big win of his career this year in a stage of the Tour de Langkawi, and is widely regarded as one of the finest young cyclists America has turned out in recent years. Here's a wish for a fast recovery for Raisin, and a hope for no complications from what was literally a life-threatening crash.
That's all for this week's edition of the Report. Next week the Peach state plays host to bike racing again as the Tour de Georgia gets going, and there's probably going to be some other bike-related news to talk about. If not, we'll make something up.

Through specific interactions with members of the tumor necrosis receptor (TNFR) family, adapter molecules such as the serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) kinase RIP mediate divergent signaling pathways including NF-kappaB activation and cell death. In this study, we have identified and characterized a novel 61-kDa protein kinase related to RIP that is a component of both the TNFR-1 and the CD40 signaling complexes. Receptor interacting protein-2 (RIP2) contains an N-terminal domain with homology to Ser/Thr kinases and a C-terminal caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD), a homophilic interaction motif that mediates the recruitment of caspase death proteases. Overexpression of RIP2 signaled both NF-kappaB activation and cell death. Mutational analysis revealed the pro-apoptotic function of RIP2 to be restricted to its C-terminal CARD domain, whereas the intact molecule was necessary for NF-kappaB activation. RIP2 interacted with other members of the TNFR-1 signaling complex, including inhibitor of apoptosis protein cIAP1 and with members of the TNFR-associated factor (TRAF) family, specifically TRAF1, TRAF5, and TRAF6, but not with TRAF2, TRAF3, or TRAF4. These TRAF interactions mediate the recruitment of RIP2 to receptor signaling complexes.

Got the x-wing, tie and y-wing all great models especially the x-wing. Love them.
Wow, LEGO's pricing difference from country to country is absolutely appalling. In U.S. dollars, there's a five dollar difference between the TIE Fighter, X-Wing and Y-Wing ($50/55/60). In British pounds they all cost the same (£50). In the Swedish store their prices are 599 Swedish kronas for the TIE Fighter and Y-Wing and a whopping 749 for the X-Wing. Not even the 599 prices are truly comparable to their dollar/pound prices (599 SEK = £55/$87) and the 749 is just outrageous (749 SEK = £71/$108!!!). How about setting prices that reflect a currency's actual value, LEGO? There's no reason whatsoever for a Swede to buy any of their bigger sets from a Swedish store. I could buy them from Amazon UK at full retail price, pay a bit added VAT, get free shipping (with no risk of customs since its within the EU) and still save money. Talk about doing Swedish stores and customers a huge disservice.
They are available in NA, look!
Only pre-order, but still. They'll ship by the 30th of January.
I really like the Y wing and am glad the Y wings price tag is only £49.99 (as the S@h catalogue says £59.99 (maybe I'm speaking too soon)) but still with a $49.99 price tag it should really be £39.99 (oh well).
Also the dino HQ has gone down £10 to £79.99 But I'm afraid the 2011 Sw Bps have gone up to £11.99 which is possibly a marketing technique to make the new ones not look so expensive for new customers alike.
I dont like how the droids fit in sideways... I haven't really collected any SW stuff since maybe late 90's early 2000's, have the droids always fit in this way?
Dang! The prices keep getting higher and Higher, since the 2005 TIE fighter was $20 ,now the new one is $55.
But theres also double the amount of pieces and way more figures. All in all more=more.
Are those really stickers on the side of the y-wing? Dummmmbbbbbb
@yys4u - No, they went in horizontal with the first wave x-wing, y-wing, and naboo fighter sets but they changed to the "sideways" fit with the newer waves. Looking at the originals that I own, I honestly think that the vertical fit is quite nice. They fit in a lot nice and they don't need to worry about making the back so wide.
ooh that y-wing was marked as £59.99 in the catalogue but is only £49.99 on the lego site. Still not exactly a bargain but thats £10 less than I was expecting to pay :)
@zjygkmatt - Those stickers really are not that bad, they are very easy to apply and look fine once you have got them on there.
Sad to say it's pricing like this that made me switch my collecting from exclusively Starwars to practically anything and everything. I might not be saving money buying into all these other themes but at least I can say I'm not spending more money doing it.
I still love Starwars sets, but at some point I had to clue into the fact that I just can't afford to buy remakes when they're being priced up 50% higher than their original creations. My only hope of owning some of these new sets is if I get one heck of a sale.
@Capnrex, they do look fine, but Im more worried with them coming off. I have a few where even on flat surfaces, they are starting to come up, so I cant imagine over time on a round surface. They don't seem that sticky from my experience.

- Read the Program Results: New Jersey Health Initiatives
Dates of Project: December 2003 to November 2005
Field of Work: Meeting health and health care needs in Newark, N.J.
Synopsis of the Work: The Brotherhood Health Initiative focused on getting minority males aged 12 to 25 who had behavioral problems and lived in Newark, N.J. more engaged with the health care system. Project staff provided intensive case management, peer group support, and advocacy to 285 young males.
Story Told: For AM, gang activity was "a family business." His father, a Blood, was incarcerated; three of his brothers were also Bloods and one was a Crip. Program staff at the Brotherhood Health Initiative, where AM had been referred for poor school attendance and fighting, helped AM discover alternatives to the gang lifestyle and explore a career working on cars. This sidebar tells AM's story.

"Seriously, great recipe...I had everything at home and they taste so good!I love cinnamon so i added a bit more and it was great :D Thanks for a great recipe! Made for Zingo ZWT5."

"This is a really great recipe and so very easy to make too :D The nutmeg and cinnamon really did it for my family.I have made french toast a thousand times and never thought to put those in before cooking.Thanks for a great recipe! Made for ZWT5."
"This is a really good recipe but I must say they are kind of bland. Im not sure what it is.Its very light and fluffy and great texture but the flavor just wasn't fantastic. I would definitely make these again but add a little more seasoning to the mix. Thank you for a good recipe :) Made for ZWT5"
"This is a really great recipe.I made exactly 24 cakes and it was really easy to do.Next time I might make less of them but definitely keep everything else the same.Thank you for a great recipe!Made for ZWT5"

This happened a few years ago before I knew of Holla Back. I live in California and a friend and I were taking a trip to a convention. Costumes were encouraged so I dressed up in a pirate costume.
I had a long sleeved shirt, a close to knee length skirt, high boots, and a hat. Not the best pirate costume but it was last minute.
To get back to her car to get home we had to take the bus. After getting on the bus two girls give us these weird looks and asked why I'm dressed up.
I'm about to explain why when I see a flash go off. I turn to see a middle aged man turn off his camera and pocket it.
My friend laughed and said "They only photograph the beautiful ones!"
I, on the other hand, am angry. I shouted at him "What the hell are you doing?!"
Both my friend and the girls were horrified at my behavior and chastised me for yelling at a stranger. My friend told me that I shouldn't be upset because he "only photographs the beautiful ones."
The stranger made no effort to answer me and acted as if I hadn't said anything. He continued to stare at me until our bus stop. On the way out I flipped him the bird which thinking back probably wasn't the best idea in the long run but I was furious. I had been harassed before by boys and it really does take away a sense of safety.
I still do wear skirts but haven't worn that pirate costume since the incident.

I was on the #1 train yesterday going home from a long day of work. It was already past 8pm and the trains were acting up (many delays on 2/3 and 1. Passengers had to switch at least 3 times!). In any event I was finally settled on the #1 minding my own business when all of a sudden a flash goes off. I looked up and across from me this creepy guy has taken a picture of me with his blackberry. I had noticed earlier that he was looking at his blackberry but I thought he was reading it. I asked him, "what was he taking a picture of?" He responded nervously nothing and then when I repeated the question, he stated that the flash went off accidentally (yeah, it accidentally busted you!). I kept repeating, "what were you taking a picture of?" I told him I did not believe him and asked him to show me the picture. He started fiddling with the camera the blackberry and then claimed he couldn't find it. I told him that was convenient. This conversation was taking place loud enough for other riders to hear and they were paying attention. A gentleman sitting next to the creep got up took the creep's picture with his phone and then the gentleman sat next to me. This gentleman told me that he had noticed the creep taking pictures of me earlier. He gave me his card and told me to email him and he would send me the creep's photo. What a hero!
The creep then became more nervous and showed me the picture on his blackberry. It was picture of my leg and feet (WEIRDO!!!). I had on a short dress and flip flops. I knew he couldn't see anything else because my legs were together. (I know I shouldn't have to say that part but every time I tell the story I feel compelled to explain that I wasn't showing any underwear or something to cause this). I made the creep delete the picture. I asked him were there any other pictures. He then showed me a blurred picture of my leg. My hero had gotten off at this point. The creep started talking to me and said, "You see, I deleted the picture." He repeated that a few times. I told him to stop talking to me. He walked away and stood a few feet. I was nervous about getting off my stop but I didn't want to stay on the train anymore. So I got off. I will be taking another train for the next few weeks. I suspected the police could not do anything but I tried anyway. I spoke to the first police officer I saw. He informed me that no crime was committed. That it was not illegal to take a picture of someone on the subway and unfortunately, the creep can do whatever he wants with whatever other pictures he has on his blackberry. My hero emailed me the photo last night and tipped me about this website. It is good to know that for every creep out there, there are also great men too.
Lesson for the day: Ladies, pay attention. When you think they are reading their blackberries, they may be taking a photo of you.

I was sitting on the E train today, heading back to Queens from the city. I had a book out but I was taking a break from reading it. I was looking around the train and noticed this man mouthing "I love you" to me and then winking at me. I was pissed off from harassment my friend and I endured earlier in the day. So, I responded to him with a death stare. I had an angry, angry face that I made and I just kept staring at him for what felt like 10 minutes, meanwhile, he was still winking at me and mouthing "I love you". I was completely creeped out because he's old enough to be my father. I grimaced at tuned away from him and went back to my book. I took a quick picture of him when I left the train so I could hollaback.

Earlier this year on a chilly, windy day, I, a girl who had yet to turn 15, was walking through the parking lot of a store. I was wearing a dress and some thick tights but had no coat, so I walked fast to get to my car. As I am walking I hear a car slowly driving behind me but I think little of it, assuming that they only want the parking space that I am walking through. I notice that the car is still there but still don't pay much attention. When I get to my car I turn around and see a van full of perverted men hanging out the windows ogling my butt. They start to drive away and I am so shocked that all I have time to do is give them an angry look. I wish I had done more but I was too embarrassed and angry to.

I was walking to my car from my apartment to pick up my little sister and I'm halfway across the lawn when I get a "Hey! Hey!" There is a group of guys loitering on the stoop of my neighbor the drug-dealer's apartment that I haven't noticed (how do I know he's a drug dealer? because his girlfriend welcomed me to the neighborhood about a month before this incident by telling me if I needed anything to just knock on their door). I pause, turn and realize it's not someone I know, turn back, and continue walking. I hear something along the lines of a "How are you doin?" and pause again to say "Fine." I am going to continue to my car but then they invite me inside the leering doorway "Hey! Come over here! Come in here!" I stammer something about I can't, I have to pick up my sister, goodbye. Is my Achilles heel the fact that I am pretty much always polite? I'm an introvert, quiet and timid with low self-esteem and know nothing of your website yet. I've been harassed before by men, usually in cars, and normally just put my head down and keep walking. But these are my neighbors–or at least friends/clients of them.Your neighbors know where you live, what car you and your mom drive, when your little sister gets off the schoolbus. I am afraid of retribution if I am rude. I just turned 18 a week ago.
So I get to my car and put my purse and cellphone on the passenger seat when one of the men RUNS up to the passenger-side window. He's in baggy street-clothes and is mentioning me to roll my window down. I consider driving off but I second-guess myself and roll the window about 3/4s of the way to see what he wants. I am not totally paralyzed with fear until he sticks his head and arm INTO MY CAR. I want to drive away but that might decapitate him and then I will be held responsible for murder. I feel claustrophobic. There's a big, scary, man, late 30s-mid 40s, in my car, and if he wanted to, could reach out and touch my face (which is stuck in an obviously frightened and pained smile, throughout our conversation).
His name is Jafar. I ask him if he is my neighbor. He says yes. He says he's surprised that I didn't just drive off (indicating he's done this to others before, great…). He wants my phone #. I tell him I'm late, I have to get my little sister. But he wants my phone #. He is a fast talker, it's scary. I tell him I have a boyfriend. I tell him that my boyfriend doesn't want me giving out my #. He says that that "doesn't matter." He wants me to give him my #. I try to make an excuse about not having a phone but it's right on the passenger seat. He's staring at me. My brain is cloudy with fear, I don't know what to do. I put his number in my phone instead. This has worked at parties with guys who I don't want to bother me anymore. I tell him I'll call him. He says to call him right then. An obvious "no minutes" excuse slips my mind. I call him and shit, now he has my phone #. His phone # has a strange area code, so I ask him about it (since I know he has my # and knows where I live, I want to get as much info as I can on him). A sketchy answer–that you could pick any area code you wanted at the cell phone store…so he picked an out-of-state one? I ask him again if he is my neighbor. He says no this time, that he's just visiting. I can feel the blood in my veins. I guess he finally takes pity on me and extracts himself from my window, letting me go.
My heart is racing and I want to puke. I cry on the way to getting my sister. I warn her about the neighbors and park in the back of the building. In order to tell my mother about this I would have to wake her up. My mother works night shifts and needs her sleep. Plus this would make her worry even more about us. I cry and call my boyfriend and my boyfriend tells his mom and his mom says I should call the police. But by now this incident has happened hours ago. Jafar is no longer outside. Plus, what would they do, arrest him? For what? Isn't it my fault, since I stupidly rolled down my window? I still feel frightened though. I double check all the locks and windows. I have trouble falling asleep the next few nights.
I still have Jafar's # in my phone, so that I can choose to not answer it if he ever calls. He hasn't. It's been about 3 months. I not scared anymore but I still mostly park in the back. I don't want any attention from my neighbors, ever again.
I question why I didn't just drive off, leave him in the dirt. (The meek will never inherit the earth.) I question alot of things–how he came to have such audacity to invade my personal space–either his complete and utter ignorance of my frightened eyes and smile, or his selfishness as he brushed my feelings of safety away to make room for his own desires. I question women's gender role in society, to be submissive and pandering and timid and accepting. I question past wrongs: "Titties!" screamed out a car window, numerous car-honkings and tongue-flickerings from vehicles zooming past, a manager at the fast-food joint I worked at who took a plastic toy into the break room and rubbed it between my 14-year-old breasts.
Many, many questions, and I think I've come to a conclusion for one of them. I let Jafar psychologically screw with me because I was afraid that, if I stood up for myself, I would come back and he'd still be there, pissed and waiting for revenge. That I'd walk past him and be yelled at, or rushed at and chased after, or the door to my apartment would be scribbled with obscenities, the window cracked, the lock broken. I don't know if this is an irrational thought or not, if I am just paranoid. I know it's the coward's way out (is this victim-blaming?). It's not noble to do nothing, but I felt–and feel, remembering this–trapped. I want to stand up for myself, but when it's so close to home, it's not just big anonymous you. It's your family, too. I don't want anything happening to me or my sister or mother. In another apartment complex my little sister was raped. I don't want it to happen ever again.

Editor's Note: Sometimes staying quiet in the moment is the best, most noble defense that we have. It's doesn't mean that we're weak. Street harassment oftentimes leaves us with very few defenses in the moment, but that's why holla'ing back is so important. Gianna could of just stood up for herself in front of her harasser, but instead she's standing up for herself on a much bigger platform: the thousands of you that are reading this right now. What's more heroic than that?

I have had my fair share of leering from the security guards at chelsea market. Being singled out in a crowd when I cut through the market on my way to work is always testing my patience. Being a woman of color I always wonder – is this racial stereotyping? Sometimes I cover my head with a cloth – so the reasons why people stare are multiple. When other people see the guards leering at me I feel so tiny- so humiliated like, "gee what will all these non brown people think…maybe I did something bad?"
….no, just trying to live in peace.
Today it was pretty clear I was being harassed. I was walking hand in hand with my bf. I was wearing a long shirt that covered my behind, non fitting… for those wondering. Sundays are crowded. The guard near the far entrance was lifting his head from far. I was not even checking to see if he would leer …he started to turn to me…nod his head up and down my body with those elevator eyes accompanying the head. For once, since I was not alone, I waived my finger saying "no", he nodded his head fast "yes" and showed me his teeth attempting a "guilty smile" and looked up at my eyes and down to my butt nodding "yes". I told my bf how it hurts that he is suppose to be protecting me- but is leering. My bf turned around and the guy was still leering.
My bf walked over and said quietly, "my gf feels uncomfortable with the way you are staring".
He shouted at us both and said GET OUT OF HERE GET OUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT GET OUT.
Swear to god this is true, yes, a guard told us to get out of chelsea market if we don't like how he's leering at us.
I don't have a photo but feel awful he said that to my bf. I intend on writing a letter, but to who to where? I hope there are cameras there, its all on tape no one has to "believe" me.
Well, thanks holla back at least I feel I can send this to you for now.

Dear HollaBack and all you women who like to chill in Central Park this summer,
I want to warn you about a wanker I encountered this past weekend:
On Saturday afternoon, I went back to a really lovely spot on the shore of the lake just a few paths in from the West 77th Street entrance — plenty of rocks to climb and sit upon to read or watch the water. There's an area at water-level where I sat down to read — people were nearby on other rocks and plenty of rowboats were out on the lake, but people kept coming and going in my immediate vicinity. After awhile, this dude sat down a couple rocks away from me and took out an electronic device — this didn't seem weird to me, since I'd noticed plenty of people come and go with cameras, take some photos of the lake, and leave, but I couldn't figure out if this device was a camera or not. The dude set it in his lap and stayed there for a while, and then moved to a rock right next to me slightly higher up and straddled it, with the device still in his lap. I gave him a dirty look and shifted a little farther away from him when one of his legs was only a few inches away from my head, but otherwise stayed where I was — why should I have to be the one to move? I was there first, and I was absorbed in my book, so I ignored him, figuring he was just trying to find the most comfortable place to get settled, as I had done when I'd first arrived.
After a few more minutes, he moved again, this time to a rock a few feet away, kitty-corner to mine. I thought it was weird that he sat down facing me instead of facing the lake, but again I didn't say anything, because he wasn't actively bothering me and I just wanted to keep reading my book. Still, I was trying to figure out what his device was, because I'm paranoid about strangers taking photos of me without my knowledge, so I wanted to be sure it didn't have a camera — but every time I looked up, I accidentally caught his eyes through his sunglasses, and he just stared creepily back at me. Of course, that part was not a new experience — dudes staring creepily — but I was physically comfortable where I was, relaxing into my first days of summer . . . so despite the slightly uneasy feeling I got, I just chalked it up to him being an awkward dude, your usual guy on the street/subway/wherever who stares but at least doesn't say or do anything about it.
The next time I glanced up, though, I saw that HE HAD HIS DICK OUT. His pants were all the way open, and he was hard and jerking off fast. What. The. Fuck! It was so unexpected and repulsive, all I could do was make a horrified/disgusted face, grab my things, and get the hell away from there as quickly as possible. I was extremely shaken up, so freaked out that I couldn't even scream at him or tell anyone else nearby what was happening. I just left the park as quickly as possible, called a couple of friends to calm me down, and didn't stop walking until I'd walked dozens of blocks back to my apartment. How long had he been doing that and I hadn't even noticed? What kind of person thinks that is remotely okay to do? I felt disgustingly violated, and still wish I could get the nauseating image of his face and his dick out of my head. Part of me started blaming myself for not moving the hell away from there from the moment I noticed that he was sitting on rocks closer to me than any polite person would, and then another part of me has been trying to shut that voice up ever since: There is no excuse for what that dude did. I had every right to be where I was, quietly reading in my own personal space, and he had no right whatsoever to take my presence as a woman as invitation to pull his dick out and wank in front of me.
I just hope that letting other women know about him will prevent this dude from violating anyone else. Assuming that he frequents the park to do this (which of course I have no way of knowing), I hope that somebody will catch him at it and have the power to do something about it. He was a tall, white, brunette, thirtysomething dude in shorts, wearing sunglasses and carrying an Insignia DVD Player (which I finally figured out did not have a camera), if that helps at all. If a dude sits near you when obviously there are other places to sit, I hope you have the voice I didn't to tell him to move the fuck away. I assumed the best in this dude — that he was just an awkward guy trying to get comfortable on a nice day in the park — when really there are way more creeps who actually think it's okay to pull their dicks out and do this in public, in front of or even on women. I know there are decent men in this world, but (from my own experiences and from reading other infuriating HollaBack posts here) this city keeps trying to prove me wrong.
Thank you so much for this forum to share my experience, even if you don't end up posting it on the site, although I really hope you will. (I know it's kind of long, but I couldn't figure out how to write about it all more succinctly!)

I was in the lower level of the Century 21 Shoe Department in the Financial District a few weeks ago, where I witnessed a middle-aged man taking photos on his cell phone of a woman in a skirt trying on shoes. Being familiar with your website I tend to be aware of potentially harassing behavior, unfortunately I did not have my phone on me to snap a pic of him. I noticed the man standing behind a circular rack of rainboots doing something with his cell phone, as I looked around I continued to notice his unusual behavior. Then I noticed the woman in the skirt trying on shoes, as she stood up to look in the mirror he stuck his phone below her skirt to snap a photo, at which point I yelled "what do you think you're doing!?!?" He pretended to be bending over to pick up a pair of boots off the rack. I told the woman what he was doing.
Just wanted to let everyone know to beware of this creep the next time you're trying on shoes.

So yesterday 03-20-10 I was coming back from the city with my friend (who is a girl) and we were sitting across from this freak. We were wrapped up in our conversation and I turned to glance who was sitting around us and I see this freak taking photos of us with his stupid phone. At first he was subtle about it… only slightly turning it to us. But give me a break it was pretty obvious when you are technologically savvy. I told my friend and she didn't believe me. So I kept an eye on him and he would continue to angle his phone towards us…there was one point when he just did it so OBVIOUSLY! moving his phone completely towards us. I looked at him and gave him glares he then hesitated. So ladies don't think he's texting on the phone because he's not. It's all a front. It was about 11:30 at night taking the 7 to flushing. He gets off at the last stop. He's a real creepy guy.
P.S. We switched cars and he didnt follow us so that may help some of you.
I was on the train home from NYC about 10 p.m. minding my own business as usual. I actually found a one person seat, which was great because it was late and I really just wanted to sit by myself. After just sitting looking out the window I happened to turn to look out the window across the aisle for whatever reason and this guy is staring at me, with this pathetic grin on his face and then he winked at me. Creeper. I gave him my usual look of disgust and then I was agitated because I don't know how long he was glaring at me. Then I remembered this website and decided to take a picture of him, but he was already sleeping.
It made me feel better in the end.

Time zones are demarcations of solar hours (15 degrees) on the planet (a few are offset by 30 or 45 minutes) used by many nations. Solar noon moves closer on average (depending on the month and day) to 12:01pm the nearer to one is to the beginning of the zone. Has anyone in modern United States history (post-GMT and world wide time zones) seriously proposed an alternative system of time zone management than the hour (for instance moving to the half hour)?
Interestingly, when the time zones were established at the International Meridian Conference in 1884, the original idea was to have a single coordinated solar day. This meant that eventually, the hope was to have a single coordinated time throughout the world. The idea of dividing the world into time zones was merely supposed to be a step to getting to precisely that point. Unfortunately, the resolution adopted had within it the seeds of its failure to take that final step. The single coordinated meridian was to be selected without interference in the local observation of solar time and "without regard to politics but only to scientific progress." As you might expect, the "art of the possible" never was able to go that far. |
Nowhere in the USA does that, however there is one place in North America (sorta) that does: Newfoundland. They happened to be about 3 and a half hours from Greenwich when the time zones were first set up, and being persnickety people, opted to keep their own time rather than join the Atlantic or central Greenland time zones. |
Assuming that Swatch sells their plastic watches also in the U.S., there is their notion of Swatch Internet Time (beat time): The notion has not become popular in Europe or even Switzerland (where the company originates) so far, but insofar as this is a serious, globally acting company, their (marketing-driven) attempt can (perhaps) be counted as a (somewhat) serious alternative system. The reference meridian is fixed at at Jakob-Staempfli Street, Biel, Switzerland. I'm posting this @ 288 beats, BTW :) |

This spring I started over with new callena and erica (I had originally planned to expand my heather garden - but all my established heathers died during the winter). So my new heathers all look great - except one - I skimmed through the forum and in the message about the sick heather, cranebill replied with information about fungal diseases. This one plant certainly has it. So I should dig it out and replace the soil? Anything else? My concern is it was growing so close to the other heathers. Is there anyway to protect them? I guess I should add, when I prepared the soil, (which is naturally sandy and slightly acidic), I added peat moss and bark mulch. Does this increase fungal problems? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Systemic Fungicide. Just mix per instructions with water and apply. Now and again in Spring just as growth begins; then once more, if needed, in early summer. |
