Every year or so Shimano sets up shop in a Manhattan hotel to display their wares to the media elite and hoi polloi, and I dutifully shuffle my way over for some off season content for the site. This year's invitation came with the promise of a lap of Central Park on Ultegra Di2, so I was doubly excited. Little did I realize that my +1 and I would be showered with an obscene amount of schwag – shoes and pedals for me, jackets, multi tools, tires for both of us. So in the interest of full disclosure let me tell you that some of my take will be donated as prizes for our roller party/junior fundraiser, but the shoes and pedals will have to be pried from my cold dead toes. Hey, I'm only human, a human that likes schwag.
So here's the shots of Shimano's wares, be sure to look with a jaundiced eye.
A nice little torque wrench for $120.
Cute little multi tool. We'll give away one of these at the roller party.
Pro components continue to expand, and will include components designed for specific riders, like a stem made just for Cavendish.
35mm deep carbon tubulars. 1346 grams, $2,200.
The carbon/aluminum clincher is 1664 grams, also $2,200.
Tubeless comes to the Ultegra level. Unlike their Dura Ace counterparts, these are not clad in carbon. 1651 grams, $700.
Dura Ace carbon pedal. Carbon trickles down to Ultegra as well, for $300 instead of $400.
I have an older version of these SPD sandals which I love for getting around in the summer. The new version has a more supportive upper that should produce even freakier tan lines.
The top of the line SH-R315 heat moldable shoe, $380.
The SH-R191, not moldable, $220.
The SH-R241, moldable, $300.
Two of the moldable pieces in the uppers.
The inside of the heel cup has a cat's tongue fabric that's smooth when your heel slides in, rough on the way out. This and the moldable cup keeps your foot locked in.
Velcro straps are staggered to avoid pressure spots.
My shoes getting easy baked.
A tube gets strapped to the shoe, a bag goes over your foot, a strap closes everything up and the air gets sucked out. The pressure is surprisingly strong – this isn't 'uncomfortable', it's downright painful.
Plastic toecaps cover the front so the toe area stays nice and roomy. Those red stickers can be added to the bottom of the insoles to build up the arches.
All done. 3 rides in and they make me want to ditch my beloved Lakes. I used to wonder how 'custom' the fit could be if only the uppers are moldable (Lakes and Bonts have moldable soles), but I'm a believer now. The fit is perfect – nice and roomy in the toes, snug around the heel. The pedal platform is way more stable than Speedplays. The insoles didn't give me enough arch support, even with the add-on stickers, so I went back to my trusty Sole inserts. Complaints? The ratchet is pretty straightforward, I wish it had Sidi's half-click release. They're also much harder to clip into for a Speedplay convert.
Finally we get to Ultegra Di2. These aluminum levers are one of the ways Shimano kept the price down.
Wiring is improved on Ultegra Di2 (the next Dura Ace Di2 will use this style wiring). The connectors are waterproof without heat shrink tubing, and the wires themselves are thinner. The entire system can be plugged into a diagnostic tool to check for troubleshooting, and you can reprogram the buttons if you want.
The front derailer is also the brains of the operation. Di2 does some smart things like auto trim the front derailer to avoid chain rub. For shifts into the big ring, Di2 overshifts before settling back. Dropping down, Di2 gently eases the chain down before completing its motion. This should lessen the chance of chain drop compared to mechanical shifting, which simply slams the derailer down to the lower limit stop.
Another way Shimano reduced cost for Ultegra was by sourcing existing motors instead of making their own. The Ultegra rear derailer is quite a bit clunkier than Dura Ace.
This Orbea was made specifically for Di2 and had super clean wiring.
We took the bikes out for a lap of Central Park, and Di2 performed just as advertised – it's quick and accurate, and requires less finesse from the rider. My +1 declared it as good as Dura Ace Di2'. Its best feature, however, is the $1600 price tag for an upgrade kit.
the fstop is too damn high!
Yes, NYVC's Toto-l consistent soft-pedaling of doping has hit an all time low with this Landis thing.
"Although I continue to post, I now refuse to read anything on the site so that my ignorance remain unperturbed."
...for junior funding has had absolutely no effect on my faith in NYflebotimy equipment reviews.
Let me restore your faith by reviewing drugs next.
Is there a local racer with superpowers so amazing that all he has to do it think about it and he wills his bike to shift?
Who is that man?
Lance Armstrong?
I have lost all faith in the reviews on NYVERBOSITY after their endorsement of drug doper Floyd Landis for fund raising roller racing.
Professional cycling is all about drugs and not equipment - an illusion is created to sell expensive equipment to the stupid.
It is being developed.
It is time to draw the line......next we will have ESP shifting, just think what gear you want to be in and badda bing badda boom you are in that gear.
And then we will have automatic transmission shifting where you just program in your optimum cadence and the gears will shift automatically to maintain that cadence.
Buy American!
Always wanted my own drum circle. Maybe Triumph will visit and poop on me.
Occupy Shen's Apartment
The rent is too damn high
Blurry is artsy. Yeah sharpness is over rated
Wow, you guys are tough.
I rather use the $1600 for rent.
I think that max fstop is the Minature effect option on some high end point and shoot cameras, it is supposed to keep a portion of the photo sharp while the other parts are blurry.......highly irritating indeed in this case, does not make the Shimano product look glamarous and a must have at all.
Seriously, tell whoever is taking pics to chill out on the aperture. It's obviously maxed out and the entire subject matter is not in focus. Cheesy.
thanks for the vote of confidence, but its an aluminum frame
di2 was used extensively in the grand tours this year, with excellent performance reliability. the only real issue is cost. As prices come down, that won't be an issue either.
There's reasons for knocking electronic shifting, but speed and responsiveness aren't two of them. It's pretty widely accepted that it's faster and more accurate.
Battery specs are pretty easily Googled.
Mechanical shifting isn't infallible either, break a rear shift cable and you'll have to singlespeed it home.
Yeah but where does the battery power come from for electronic shifting?
How is this battery charged?
Does it require recharging often?
How fail safe is the system, with electronics comes the chance of failing more often.
How responsive is electronic shifting, can this system be used in fast criteriums where shifting response is important, or is electronic shifting only for long stage races?
I just don't trust electronic shifting.
electronic shifting does no more to ruin the essence of what a bicycle is than a power meter does.
it's just replacing the cables with wires. if it makes shifts more accurate & the derailleurs self adjusting, great. it doesn't power the bike, and it's still a manual transmission, the rider decides what gear to be in an when to shift.
Hey does Shimano make those batteries / electric motors that can now be found on bicycles? What is the point of converting a PEDAL bicycles to ELECTRIC motor? Is is still called a bicycle or is now an ELECTRIC moped?
Aren't we getting away from the true sense of what a bicycle is suppose to be? It is supposed to be a mechanical device operated by human power, not by electric motors and electronic shifting.
The only electronics / electrics a bicycle should have is a speedometer / powermeter / and light for night riding.
i've seen at least 4 morbidly obese people in central park, but that's not going to stop me from getting a hot dog.
I've seen at least four Lightweight carbon wheels totaled in CP crashes (including a complete set).
i'm sure Di2 is fantastic but i would only get a best-of-everything bike if i was NOT going to race it. seen too much pricey gear wrecked around here. it's not like any of us has a team car with an identical bike following us around. None of it makes you any faster...that's well established. I guess if I had so much money it didn't matter, i might but otherwise, no.
drugs are not cool, joe, havent you learned that yet? but do tell who you sell to in NYC??? I have a pretty good idea...
drugs work much better than electronic bike parts in improving performance.
but that's not important right now.
cool factor...thats all...
how many of you can shift full power while standing? How many need to shift full power little ring to big?
All you "greg olsens", there is an "ariel" still on a steel frame, toe clips, box 32s...who won the CRCA season long champs???
train harder friends...train with racing intensity and skills in mind...
we have coaches, nutritionists, mechanix, massageists, wind tunnelsists, private jetsists to nats to get dead last...c'mon now...
Ride Lots.
Pedal Harder.
i'm waiting for miniature seat tube-based motors, like cancellara had. now we're talkin'!
i'm sure when the first derailleurs came out, some idiot was saying that it was too expensive and completely unnecessary. god forbid one should buy something more expensive that someone else can afford. perhaps we should all ride the same bikes and live in the same apartments just so you could feel happier.
Are you saying that bike companies should stop innovating because only rich people can afford the newsest, state-of-the-art technology while the masses have to wait a year or two? Or are you just pissed at the attempted humorous pseudonym that I chose for myself?
Your joke wasn't lost on me. I was just too busy choking on all this glorious trickle down to laugh.
And since you are probably riding a Carbon bike with STI, Clipless pedals with some form of powermeter....You Lose!
Cut your losses and let it go. The name you've picked for yourself is making it hard for me to be sympathetic to your argument.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to claim that most people who buy new expensive stuff do so strictly because it will benefit YOU in the future. I'm quite sure that most people buy it for vanity or because they have an extra couple g's burning a hole in their pocket. However, when they do buy that stuff, for whatever reason, it doesn't hurt YOU any and it ends up benefitting YOU in the future. I don't see the point behind making fun of someone else buying new technology when those two critical elements are in YOUR favor.
Unless you are just playing the game of snark...which is also fine.
I love the arguments people make to justify their spending. I should thank the goof who just has to have the new shiny toy because he's "investing in the technology of my future"?? Ha... How generous of him!
An awful lot of people won't buy electronic 'til mechanical is no longer readily available. It won't be a choice. I want my Simplex retrofriction down tube shifters back.
Change the terms "electronic" to "STI" and this same conversation was had 20 years ago. What is new and expensive now will be on entry level bikes in a few years. Bitch about the cost all you want, but you will be racing on it in a short time. If no one buys the new technology then the manufacturers wont continue to innovate. Don't hate the guys with the money to buy it now. Thank them for investing in the technology of YOUR future.
I'm slower than most of the guys who are given this shit, but faster than most who buy it.
You got to be paid to afford all this shit. Wheels, Di2, damn. Help a brotha' out
you must be new here, then..
The ironic thing is that the readers of this blog are so not the target customer of these products. I am surprised the Shimano people don't realize this. They would be better off inviting men's health mag to come look at that shit
electronic shifting my right butt cheek!! just buy a motorbike if you want electronic shifting and fuel injection. Maybe Shimanoooo can come up with a light weight electronic titanium Butt plug to prevent defacation just before the start of a race.
no, turd. cat 4's exist to absorb the sins of all the other bike racers, cat 5 included.
USADA is Cumming USADA is Cumming
for all you "amateurs" amachumps...
Give me a break. I'm not even a 4 or a 5 but at least I have the presence of mind to know that there's barely any difference between a 2 or 3 having nice equipment and a 4 or a 5. At the end of the day, amateur is amateur. No one "needs" these things -- they're just fun toys. He without sin cast the first stone...
There were a lot of Cat 4's at StatenCX racing in Rapha. Most of them were sucking, too.
Occupy Signature Cycles!
Obviously someone is buying $1600, and even more expensive, shifting systems. Same thin for $2k wheels. Just go to the start line of any local race and you will find those $1.6k+ shifters and $2k+ wheels on a cat 5 riders bike. I think it's crazy to spend that kind of money on those parts, but then again I am not rich.
$1600 for Ultegra electronic shifting? That's a bargain compared to Di2, bro! Sign me up!
Julien Clearcoat - forget about the schwag, look at the prices of what the schwag is suppose to advertise. Do you have $1,600 for electronic shifting, or $2,000 for wheels, don't you think it is a bit ridiculous?
To Williamsburgler - stop stealing shit.
I admire the person who is willing to share their schwag. I'm sure most of use would have kept it all and not even mentioned it. :) Will these goodies be prizes for participants or for some kind of raffle?
you can also just give to the Junior Program, minus the schwag...
if you like a casue, just give to the cause, ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you get for free from corporate schwag sponsors...
Uh, are you an idiot? They got these as donations for a FUNDRAISER.
You come, you race, maybe you win one of these things.
Good prizes = more people come = more people buy tix = more funding to the Junior Development squad.
It's really not very complicated.
I'm also giving away the jacket and the tires, does that make you happier? I can't give you the snake oil for free, it's my living.
Dear Snakeoil sales people,
How come you collected a lot of Schwag and you're only giving away a cheap little chinese made multi tool kit at the drug doper Floyd Landis Roller Race farce?
$2,200 for wheels, $400 for pedals, $1,600 for electronic shifting????? You have got to be crazy. What is the return on investment for such purchases?
Gimme a break.
Sorry I only use SRAM.
How many spokes in a 32 spoked wheel?
nice one
Shimano is reel.
Existing Di2 hosed.
So you can pay $2200 for slightly heavier "carbon" wheels or $700 for an all aluminum version? Hmm.
With respect to the wiring change for DA di2, will existing DA di2 derailers be compatible with u di2 and the new DA di2 or are you totally hosed?
Anything Tina Fey endorses I buy.
Mom jeans with striped socks? Classy look.
Here's a quick look at how the Toto heads are done, and no, it's not a Photoshop filter. These are done in Adobe Illustrator with a Wacom Tablet.
I'd like to say I've been rockin' Lake's CX401's for the last ten months, but in reality all I've done is wear them while ri

continental breakfast was nice, free wi-fi, nice television in room
Remote control wasn't fully functioning, construction quality of room was poor (i.e. paint, fixtures, etc.) but it was rated as a 1 star so I wasn't shocked, room smelled kind of bad.
fridge, microwave, pool, breakfast
pool was cold, room keys didn't work sometimes
It was close to where I needed to be. The room was clean. I only slept there so it was very adequate for my purposes.
The owners did not have it totally together. They had a bit of difficulty finding my reservation. They forget to reset my card so I could get back into the room on the second day.
The beds were comfortable. The staff courteous and friendly. There is a small playground that is safety maintained. It is an old motel but clean.
The fella that cleans and maintains the facility chews and spits his nastiness on the rocks outside the motel room doors. Gross, stop doing that.

Islam Siddiqui Appointed
April 1, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
President Obama on Saturday announced the recess appointment of 15 political appointees whose nominations had been stalled by Republicans.
"The United States Senate has the responsibility to approve or disapprove of my nominees. But if, in the interest of scoring political points, Republicans in the Senate refuse to exercise that responsibility, I must act in the interest of the American people and exercise my authority to fill these positions on an interim basis," Obama said in a statement.
"Most of the men and women whose appointments I am announcing today were approved by Senate committees months ago, yet still await a vote of the Senate. At a time of economic emergency, two top appointees to the Department of Treasury have been held up for nearly six months. I simply cannot allow partisan politics to stand in the way of the basic functioning of government."
The 15 newly appointed nominees are:
* Jeffrey Goldstein: Nominee for Under Secretary for Domestic Finance, Department of the Treasury
* Michael F. Mundaca: Nominee for Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy, Department of the Treasury
* Eric L. Hirschhorn: Nominee for Under Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration and head of the Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce
* Michael Punke: Nominee for Deputy Trade Representative – Geneva, Office of the United States Trade Representative
* Francisco "Frank" J. Sánchez: Nominee for Under Secretary for International Trade, Department of Commerce
* Islam A. Siddiqui: Nominee for Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
* Alan D. Bersin: Nominee for Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security
* Jill Long Thompson: Nominee for Member, Farm Credit Administration Board
* Rafael Borras: Nominee for Under Secretary for Management , Department of Homeland Security
* Craig Becker: Nominee for Board Member, National Labor Relations Board
* Mark Pearce: Nominee for Board Member, National Labor Relations Board
* Jacqueline A. Berrien: Nominee for Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
* Chai R. Feldblum: Nominee for Commissioner, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
* Victoria A. Lipnic: Nominee for Commissioner, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
* P. David Lopez: Nominee for General Counsel, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
In a post to the White House blog that accompanied Obama's announcement, spokeswoman Jen Psaki wrote that the president "was no longer willing to let another month go by with key economic positions unfilled, especially at a time when our country is recovering from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression."
Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives the president the right to unilaterally fill any vacancy that would normally require Senate confirmation when the Senate is in recess.
Unlike appointments that are confirmed by the Senate, recess appointments only last until the end of the next session of Congress, which right now would mean until the end of 2011.
Obama had been widely expected to recess appoint Becker and Pearce to the labor relations board. As Jason Linkins wrote in the Huffington Post on Friday, GOP opposition to Obama's nominees had left the board with only two of its five members, which has led to a lot of one-to-one ties.
Some of the other appointments are to critical positions, such as the two Treasury candidates whose nominations had been stalled.
And some were being obstructed for particularly outrageous reasons. As Ryan Grim recently reported for the Huffington Post, the two trade nominees — Bunke and Siddiqui — were being blocked by Kentucky Republican Sen. Jim Bunning because he is opposed to a tobacco-related law passed by the Canadian Parliament.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), was particularly eloquent on that matter on the Senate floor two weeks ago: "The Senator from Kentucky has said he doesn't have any objection to these nominees. He's only blocking the nominations as leverage against the President and [U.S. Trade Representative Ron] Kirk. That is pure obstructionism."
Obama nevertheless shied away from what would have been some more controversial recess appointments. He did not unilaterally install any of his blocked nominees to the Justice Department, including Dawn Johnsen, his nominee to run the Office of Legal Counsel, and Chris Schroeder, his nominee to be assistant attorney general for legal policy — both of whom are beloved by progressives but reviled by Republicans. He also chose not to recess appoint one of his senior Treasury nominees, Lael Brainard, nominated for undersecretary of international affairs, who has run into some tax issues.
That Obama would use his recess appointment powers isn't a surprise. According to the Congressional Research Service, President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments; President Clinton made 139.
Until Saturday, Obama hadn't made any — despite Republican obstruction so intense that even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in early February essentially begged Obama to do an end run.
"Frankly, I think the President should recess all of them — all of them," Reid said of Obama's stalled nominees. "There are scores of them being held up for reasons that have nothing to do with anything dealing with these people or how they will function once in office."
There are still about 200 judicial and civilian nominees being held up, some of them for some pretty amazing reasons. And the Senate is in recess until April 12.

Muslims speak out on global warming
PHILADELPHIA, PA–Dr. Syed Syeed of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was one of the keynote speakers at the Sacred Seasons, Sacred Earth Interfaith Celebration, organized by the Shalom Center in Philadelphia. The event marked the coinciding of Ramadan, the sacred Jewish month that includes Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. October 1 was Worldwide (Protestant/ Orthodox) Communion Sunday. October 2 is Gandhi's birthday. October 4 is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. This confluence will occur again in 2007. Thereafter, it will not recur for thirty years.
The event in Philadelphia called for urgent action to fight global warming.
"Many of the resources are vanishing and that is not what God intended for us," said Dr. Mohammed Almashhadani, of Al-Aqsa Mosque and former imam of the Albanian American Muslim Society mosque, both in North Philadelphia.
Participants observed the Jewish tradition of building a Sukkah, a hut that brings the community into close with the earth and listened to meditations offered by Buddhists. They later joined together for Iftar.

Books for Baghdad Announces Second Drive
JACKSONVILLE,AL– Jacksonville State University's Books for Baghdad project (www.booksforbaghdad.org) has announced a new drive for books, supplies, and cash donations to help rebuild the war-torn library at Baghdad University.
Dr. Safaa Al-Hamdani, JSU biology professor and founder of the project, said, "Our objective includes collecting recent editions of textbooks in math, science, medicine and technology to be sent to war ravished Iraq. Books are being accepted now and may be dropped off at JSU. We can also make arrangements to pick up large contributions. In addition, we are planning to collect computers and refurbish them. They will be sent to the Baghdad Library to be used by the students."
"Jeff Spurr from Harvard University and Dr. Anwar Diab of Baghdad University will be involved in this project," said Al-Hamdani. "Furthermore, a committee was established in western Massachusetts by a group of librarians to help in accomplishing the same objective. If all comes about as I expect it, we will have enough material to be shipped from Massachusetts to Baghdad in the near future. We should do what we can to help and I can not emphasize the tremendous need for the books and computers in Iraq."
Anyone who would like to contribute books and other gifts should contact Dr. Al-Hamdani (256-782-5801; firstname.lastname@example.com). Cash contributions can be made to the JSU Foundation, 700 Pelham Road North, Jacksonville AL 36265.
Dr. Safaa Al-Hamdani and a small group of faculty volunteers established the Books for Baghdad project in 2004 as an international humanitarian effort to help reestablish the war-torn Baghdad University library. Local volunteers were soon joined by faculty and students from throughout the U.S. Thanks in part to international media coverage, including special reports on CNN, the project far exceeded its goal of 5,000 books with a total collection of more than 11,000 textbooks and $6,500 in school supplies.
Statement from State Senator Peter Roskam on the Holy Month of Ramadan
"I would like to wish the Muslim Community in the 6th Congressional District and across the nation the very best during this holiest time of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan. This important holiday is a time for family and friends to come together to express their faith.
Muslims across our nation continue to enrich our communities and our nation and we value their contribution to our society." Senator Peter Roskam, Congressional Candidate for the 6th District of Illinois
Recently, State Senator and Republican Congressional candidate Peter Roskam attended an Iftaar event at the residence of Moon Khan, York Township Trustee and Founding President of Asian American Caucus of DuPage, where a large number of American Muslims of the 6th Congressional District attended it.
Yusuf Islam still faces difficulties coming to US
Yusuf Islam still faces difficulties entering the United States–two years after being refused entry into the country because of national security fears. In 2004, after flying to the United States from London, the Muslim convert, formerly known as Cat Stevens,was barred from entering after US security officials said his name was on list of banned individuals. Now plans to tour America promoting his comeback album AN OTHER CUP could be in jeopardy for the same reason. ANN DAVIS, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Agency, told the New York Daily News, "The TSA does not confirm whether any name is on or not on the 'no-fly' list. But Mr Islam was a positive match on numerous watch lists when Customs and Borders Protection agents interviewed him in Maine. "They refused him admission to the United States based on national security grounds." However, SHEILA RICHMAN, spokeswoman for Islam's US record label Atlantic, remains optimistic: "We don't yet have firm touring plans for Yusuf. We hope he will be coming here in mid-November."

Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) |
Long title | An Act to assimilate the franchises for men and women in respect of parliamentary and local government elections; and for purposes consequential thereon. |
Chapter | 18 & 19 Geo. 5 c. 12 |
Territorial extent | United Kingdom |
Dates | |
Royal Assent | 2 July 1928 |
Other legislation | |
Repealing legislation | Representation of the People Act 1948 |
Status: Repealed
The Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928[1] was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. This act expanded on the Representation of the People Act 1918 which had given some women the vote in Parliamentary elections for the first time after World War I. It widened suffrage by giving women electoral equality with men. It gave the vote to all women who paid rates to the local government on the same terms as men. This meant they had to be over 21 years old, regardless of property ownership. Prior to this act only women over 30 who met minimum property qualifications could vote. Similar provision was made for the Parliament of Northern Ireland by the Representation of the People Act (Northern Ireland) 1928 (18 & 19 Geo V, Ch 24 (NI)).
This statute is sometimes known informally as the Fifth Reform Act or the Equal Suffrage Act.
Passing of the act[edit]
The act was passed by the Conservative Party without much opposition from other parties. This was unsurprising given that the Liberal Party had been behind most reform in the nineteenth century.[citation needed]
The bill became law on 2 July 1928, having been introduced in March. The leader of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies who had campaigned for the vote, Millicent Fawcett, was still alive and attended the parliament session to see the vote take place. She wrote in her diary the same night "It is almost exactly 61 years ago since I heard John Stuart Mill introduce his suffrage amendment to the Reform Bill on 20 May 1867. So I have had extraordinary good luck in having seen the struggle from the beginning."

Thursday, 20 March 2014 Written by // David Phillips Categories // Pets, Health, Lifestyle, Living with HIV, David Phillips
Thirty year-old flashback: it's April 1983, just before my 18th birthday, and I get a call from Jerry, a dramatic friend from the Houston Leather scene concerned about his partner's erratic behavior. Dan had had flu-like symptoms for a couple of days that escalated overnight to include a severe headache and confusion. As an experienced brain surgery patient I was obviously qualified to suggest a diagnosis. Instead, I growled "Something could be eating his brain! Call for an ambulance, and I'll meet you at Methodist Hospital."
An hour later, despite struggling with inflamed lymph nodes and glands myself, I was consoling a frantic Jerry in the emergency room waiting area when the doctor emerged to speak with Dan's "roommate." His first question, "Does he have cats at home?"
"Are they strictly housecats?"
Four hours later Dan was in a room, sedated and hooked up to two IV bags. Jerry and I could see him after donning sterile masks and gloves. A large biohazard placard hung by the door to the room. Standing in front of the door, the nurse explained that the doc suspected toxoplasmosis, and Dan was receiving treatment for toxo although the diagnosis was not yet definitive. She continued grimly "His immune system must be severely damaged for toxoplasmosis to develop."
Jerry fainted. I sat by Dan's bed until Jerry appeared again. When Jerry returned home, he set the cats loose in their neighborhood with no identification whatsoever.
Dan rallied against toxo but passed six months later in the throes of pneumocystis pneumonia. Heartbroken, Jerry succumbed to Kaposi's sarcoma a year later. His sister cringed upon hearing how the cats had been treated.
This memory was jarred loose last month by planning to tend to feral cats nesting in my backyard. My one neighbor had been feeding the cats for a few months. They patrolled her yard every day, but the red-and-white tom and the tuxedo female favored shelter beneath my utility shed. The female had appeared pregnant in the fall, but attempts to trap her failed. Now, her belly was loose and sagging, but no kittens had ever been seen. I wanted to stop the cycle of pregnancy and kittens born with little chance of survival, as well as to confirm that the cats were otherwise healthy.
So, one Saturday morning, having booked two slots for neutering and shots at the Washington Humane Society's feral cat clinic the following day, I baited two box traps near the shed with canned anchovies. Within an hour I had a captive kitty! One problem -- this one was 12 weeks old at most.
I brought the caged kitten inside and posted a picture of him on Facebook. Within an hour, a friend called -- no, he didn't message me on Facebook !-- with concern about toxoplasmosis. I calmly reminded him that my immune system wasn't weak and, besides, I had no intention of keeping him. The trap stayed covered by a towel in the warmth of the laundry room until morning when I placed it in my car for transport to the clinic. The kitten remained curled up in a corner the entire time, emitting an occasion low meow.
Afternoon came, and I picked up a groggy kitten from the clinic. He needed to be kept indoors in the cage to recover for a day or two, and the clinic staff said he had no sign of existing infections and that he had been "an angel" while being prepped for care. The caged kitten went back into the laundry room with a low heating pad, food, and water. When I checked on him, he would attempt to stand and flop to the side while making progress in my direction. He meowed for a half hour after I left the room.
Snow came the day of planned release. I couldn't release him back into the wild, not when he seemed so ready for a human family and not around a father that could fatally wound him. With the help of my ex, Marius was litter box trained in one week and mostly socialized in two. Four weeks after being plucked from the wild, he's a happy young housecat.
This morning I was able to trap Marius' father --- he was pissed!---and in the morning he'll go to the clinic. While he's beyond hope of being domesticated, whenever I see him or Marius, I'll always be reminded of Jerry and Dan.

Hi There,
I have a client who's expressed interest in planting King Alfred daffodil bulbs among creeping red fescue grass. Does anyone know if the daffodils would be able to grow up through the red fescue? Or would the mat of grass be too dense? Thank you!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can only guess. My best guess is you may succeed for the first year or two, but I think the grass mat would eventually be too dense for the daffs. If your client is willing to take the gamble,fine, but I would not want to give her a guarantee. Al |
Thanks for the input Calistoga! |
Does it get cold enough in your area that the bulbs will have a cool and long enough chill season in the ground? Will they be planted in an area where the foliage can be left in place for 6 weeks after they have finished blooming...ie not mowed? If the foliage is removed/mowed too soon, the bulbs will not bloom the following season. Sue |

We have a dual fuel, double oven ge profile freestanding range. We have had it about 5 years.
The gas cooktop has no pilot but electric igniters. If you turn the knob quickly it does not ignite but does let gas flow. There doesnt appear to be any kind of safety mechanism. Today we found the back burner hissing but not lit. We have no idea how long this had been going on, if the dog jumped on the stove or we somehow turned it on unknowingly. A man who came to the house recentlynto repair a dishwasher checked with 'the engineer' who said, its working correctly, that is just an on/off switch on the cooktop on that model. Is this working correctly, ie nomsafety mechanism to make sure burner is lit. Do the newer gas cooktops work the same way, ie no safety mechanism? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
something is wrong - if there's no flame the ignitors are supposed to start clicking until the burner lights - this has been the case for at least 10 years and probably more. |
They click when you are at the point on the dial where the igniter goes on but it younturn it halfway quickly you go right past the clicky section and just get the gas. |
Also, on today's models, is the clicky sound the only safety feature? I dont think the dog or a small child would know how to interpret and deal with that. I cannot believe with all the safety concerns we have that we have gne backwards with gas ranges. |
Not true - on my range, if the flame goes out at any position on the dial, the ignitors will start clicking to relight it - happens with boilovers and if I blow the flame out - may not be true on all ranges. |
Ours doesnt do that. May i ask what brand and year yours is? |
My grandmother has a Whirlpool gas range bought less than two months ago. It functions as per myrtle_59's reference ... the burner ignitors spark ONLY at the designated position on the dial. Turn past it too quick, the gas stays on, no sparking. Truthfully, I haven't tried lighting a burner then trying to blow the flame out to see if it re-ignites. I have turned the control too quickly past the spark point and there was a strong gas odor with no sparking, although I didn't leave it that way for more than a couple seconds so I also can't honestly say if it would have eventually started sparking. |
I have a DCS range purchased in 2002. |
A second, less common safety mechanism turns the gas off entirely if a thermocouple senses it's become too cool even though the controls are set for the gas flame to be on, and thus the flame must have gone out. This is safer since if the clicking spark plug fails to reignite the flame, it will still pour unburned gas into your home. But if you hear hissing but no flame, something is wrong. |
Myrtle's stove is functioning as designed. I recently replaced a decade-old GE dual-fuel stove (J2B900 series). It operated exactly as Myrtle described. Some gas ranges come with a re-ignitor but many do not. Re-ignitors tend to be features of more expensive stoves like DCS (which Weissman has), NXR (which I have), Wolf, etc. |
Thanks, everyone. We may go electric just for the safety issue. What a shame. I just don't get it. What about people with young children? How can they risk such a stove. |
Generally on stoves such as yours (and mine as well) you can't just turn the knob, you have to first depress it in order to turn it. I think that's considered the safety mechanism with young children. Also, presumably you're somewhere nearby if a young child is near the stove - it's actually more dangerous to the child in the short term if the burner actually lights than if it just spews out gas. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Reba!
Facts about Reba
- Breed: Doberman Pinscher
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Reba's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Reba is new to our rescue. She was turned in to animal control by her owner who had no time for her. This pretty red/rust girl is now with her foster Mom and will go through the vetting/evaluation process . Reba will be available for adoption at the beginning of April.
Other Pets at Last Hope Doberman Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Reba, a killeen Doberman Pinscher dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Doberman Pinscher for sale in killeen, or seeking a Doberman Pinscher dog from a breeder in killeen.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in killeen already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a killeen breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Doberman Pinscher breeders who help with Doberman Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in killeen paves the way for another one to be saved.

I cancelled my subscription and game time ran out two days before the patch. I'm currently majorly underemployed (earning 30% of what I used to after my layoff three years ago, yay gray ceiling), so I've got to find some more stuff around the house to sell to pay for a new computer.
So I'm hoping to get back someday, but for now, I'm exiled from Azeroth.

I want pony!
Breakfast Topic: The all nighter {WoW}
Mar 30th 2010 10:42AM Had to be during Vanilla WoW's PVP grind... My husband decided to try for Grand Marshal, and I tagged along, even though I am now and will ever be the world's crappiest PVP rogue.
I kind of remember an AV that went on for 6 hours and ended about 4 am... back then, we used everything, calling out Ivus(?) and battling the ice elemental the Horde could summon. I also remember staying up just one more round of battlegrounds for tokens to turn in for "Concerted Efforts."
That kind of PVP ended one week before my husband would have gotten GM. He was so ticked off about that he quit playing... for a while.
Breakfast topic: Your favourite patch 3.3.3 change? {WoW}
Mar 24th 2010 9:03AM Gee, I don't know. I guess my favorite part is not being able to actually play since I get disconnected the second I log into the game.
Server Status: Up {WoW}
Mar 23rd 2010 6:47PM I'm suffering from the apparent Mac Power PC bug; I get disconnected as soon as the character list starts to load.
I've gotten as far as the character selection screen by deleting the cache, but then get DC'd as soon as I choose one to load.
Oh well, I'm not raiding any more, thanks to a crappy old vid card that gives me single digit FPS and a 5 second GCD.

 There was a time when the landscape of the Midwest consisted of vast fields of grass with thousands of wetlands scattered throughout. Today, only a small percentage of those wetlands exist in their natural state. Most have been converted to farmland as agricultural practices evolved over the years. In fact, many of these farmed wetlands are considered "nuisance" acres, because they often cannot be seeded to a crop, or if seeded, produce a marginal crop at best. However, federal and state conservation programs, along with conservation organizations like Pheasants Forever, are working to return some of those wetlands to the landscape. Returning these small wetlands to the landscape provides amazing benefits for water, soil, and wildlife. One particularly beneficial federal conservation program has been the Farmed Wetlands Program (FWP). Â
Originally piloted in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota, the FWP was such a success that it has been adopted nationwide as part of the hugely successful Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Through the FWP, farmers and landowners receive financial payments for returning these small wetlands to their natural state. In their natural state, these wetlands provide habitat for wildlife and protect sensitive soils from erosion.
 "What makes this program so successful is that it creates a win-win situation," said Rick Young, vice president of field operations for Pheasants Forever. The FWP benefits pheasants and other wildlife by providing wetlands and upland cover for nesting and brood rearing. For farmers, the FWP is a great tool to generate a stabilized income from acreage that can be risky to farm. It provides a financially viable solution to these marginal wetland areas and increases farming efficiency. "The FWP can be a successful part of any farm with wetland areas, from California to New Jersey," said Young.
There are some basic eligibility requirements for landowners interested in enrolling their farmed wetlands in the program. Wetlands must be small in nature, typically less than five acres and be located outside the floodplain. However, wetlands up to ten acres can be enrolled under certain stipulations. Each landowner is limited to a total of 40 acres of wetland per tract, but an upland buffer of up to three times the wetland acreage can be enrolled to protect the wetland. Finally, all wetlands must have a cropping history in three of the last ten years. FWP contracts can run either ten or fifteen years in length and rates are based on the average soil rental contracts of that particular county.
The Farmed Wetlands Program is not only improving farmers' bottom lines, but it is also providing essential habitat for pheasants and other varieties of wildlife. The FWP can offer an environmentally responsible and financially practical solution to land that is difficult to farm and not just for the farmers of the Midwest, but across the nation. "Both CRP and FWP really make financial sense for me and they are good for wildlife," reported Norm Kummer, a South Dakota farmer. "That's important to me." To learn more about the FWP, contact your local Farm Service Agency office.

Trailblazing journalist who covered every US President since John F. Kennedy. She first came to notice when Martha Mitchell would call her in the middle of the night to discuss the Watergate scandal. She was 92 and probably feisty to the end. In keeping with her familiar Presidential press conference ending "Thank you, Mr. President"... thank you, Helen Thomas. |
Follow-Up Postings:
She held all their feet to the fire. Sympathies to her family. |
A true US gem! |
Yes, an amazing and outstanding woman. |
What a journalist. What an amazing life. No one like her left. She'll be missed |
The best of the old time journalists. Feisty old broad. Loved her, and so did most of the presidents she covered. |
I understand she was the first woman to be included in the press group, The Gridiron Club, and was quite the pioneer in White House reporting. She'll be missed. |

"In her later years, her refusal to conceal her strong opinions, even when posing questions to a president, and her public hostility toward Israel caused discomfort among colleagues. In 2010, that tendency ended her storied career at the White House. She told a rabbi making a video that Israeli Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to Germany, Poland or the United States. The video circulated on the Internet and brought widespread condemnation of Thomas, forcing her to quit her job as a Hearst columnist." Hay |
Unfortunately, the old girl ignored the Eleventh Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Pisseth Off The Jews. |

Funny how we can have hundreds of posts about how intolerant Zimmerman and society is about racism and blacks. But it was/is perfectly all right when it comes to being against the Jews, As a former reporter I respect the barriers Helen Thomas broke. But her feelings about both Jews and Israel were well known when I covered the Hill and the White House Lo those many years ago. Yes, she broke the Eleventh Commandment for reporters (one that doesn't survive today hardly at all anyway),. But that Commandment was: Thou shalt Not Let Your Personal Opinions Cross Into Your Objective Reporting . |
