November 28, 2014
NEW — 6 a.m. Nov. 28, 2014
In trying to plan for the unexpected, officials are asking local residents to take part in training Nov. 29 for local Info Hubs.
An Info Hub is one in a network of emergency communications sites set up to provide residents with a place to obtain and share information in case of an emergency situation.
Info Hub groups meet for training and practice four times a year, any time there is a fifth Saturday in any given month. The next Info Hub session is at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 29 at local Info Hubs. A post-drill debriefing is planned for 10:30 a.m. that same day at Fire Station 82, 1851 228th Ave. N.E.
Editorial — Disaster preparedness is everyone's job
September 16, 2014
What would you do if an earthquake affected your home? Mudslide? Flood? Fire? What about a minor emergency, like the occasional winter storm or power outage?
September is National Preparedness Month. But what does that mean to you?
Emergency response classes start soon
March 4, 2014
When a disaster occurs, professional emergency services personnel will not be able to help everybody immediately.
That means ordinary citizens make a difference. Join more than 300 people in the community who have already completed training for a Community Emergency Response Team.
CERT training is designed to prepare citizens in the event of a disaster. Registration is now open for the spring session.
Issaquah is one of state's safest cities
February 3, 2014
NEW — 2 p.m. Feb. 3, 2014
Issaquah is one of the state's safest cities, coming in at No. 24 on a list of Washington's top 50, according to the website SafeWise.
The site, dedicated to providing honest reviews of safety and security products, combined independent research with the 2012 FBI Crime Report to come up with the list.
Issaquah was lauded for its diligent neighborhood block watch and emergency preparedness programs.
"Issaquah is so safe that the chance of becoming a victim is only one in 1,741, which is pretty good odds in a town of over 31,000 people," the site noted.
See the full list here.
October is Disaster Preparedness and NOAA Weather Radio Month
September 28, 2013
NEW — 6 a.m. Sept. 28, 2013
Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed October as Washington State Disaster Preparedness Month and NOAA Weather Radio Awareness Month.
Local jurisdictions, individuals, schools and businesses across the state will promote all-hazard preparedness throughout the month.
A highlight of the month is the Great Washington Shakeout "drop, cover and hold on" earthquake drill at 10:17 a.m. Oct. 17.
Great ShakeOut returns Oct. 17
September 24, 2013
The community is encouraged to join the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill at 10:17 a.m. Oct. 17.
The Great Washington ShakeOut is a statewide opportunity to practice how to be safer during big earthquakes. The ShakeOut has also been organized to encourage everyone to review and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies, and to secure personal spaces in order to prevent damage and injuries.
CERT classes registration opens
September 16, 2013
NEW — 6 a.m. Sept. 16, 2013
Join hundreds of community members, and learn how to best help yourself, your family and your neighbors during a disaster.

CERT courses include:
- Disaster first aid training
- Disaster preparedness
- Basic firefighting
- Light search and rescue
- Damage assessment
- How to turn off utilities

Community Emergency Response Team training is available
January 29, 2013
Registration is open for Community Emergency Response Team training in Issaquah.
CERT training is designed to prepare residents to help family members and neighbors during a catastrophic disaster. The training is important because professional emergency services personnel cannot help everybody immediately, so citizens can use CERT training to protect and save lives.
CERT courses include disaster first aid training, disaster preparedness, basic firefighting, light search and rescue, and damage assessment skills.

Coalition is meant to strengthen health care amid disasters
January 8, 2013
NEW — 4 p.m. Jan. 8, 2013
The harrowing patient evacuations during Hurricane Sandy last year demonstrated the challenges hospitals face in disasters.
In the Puget Sound region, hospitals, public health agencies, and other health care providers in King and Pierce counties joined forces as the Northwest Healthcare Response Network to prepare for calamities. The coalition launched in January after a merger between the King County Healthcare Coalition and the Pierce County Coalition for Healthcare in Emergencies.
Northwest Healthcare Response Network formed to help coordinate the efforts and resources of hospitals, long-term care, pediatric and other providers in planning, training, and responding to emergencies.

A 2012 Amnesty International report revealed that forced evictions are on a rapid rise in China. More than 40 cases of people setting themselves on fire to resist eviction have been collected by the human-rights group. Due to urban renewal and redevelopment projects, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai Expo, local governments have been grabbing land and relocating hundreds of thousands of people.

If President Obama reaches a 50 percent approval rating by March, he'll be in good shape for re-election, a panel of pollsters and election observers said today.
Since the middle of July, the weekly average of Obama's approval rating has been between 40 and 43 percent, according to Gallup, which organized the panel for the media. The pollsters pointed to two recent presidents who didn't earn a second term to make the case for the importance of a 50-percent threshold: Just before Election Day, George H.W. Bush had a 34 percent rating, and Jimmy Carter was at 37 percent.
Victors, on the other hand, were comfortably above 50: Bill Clinton had 54 percent, and Ronald Reagan enjoyed 58 percent, for instance.
"If Obama's able to get in the 50s and stay there, then I think we pretty much know what's going to happen," Gallup managing editor Jeff Jones said, adding that if Obama can get to that point by March, he has a "good chance of being re-elected."
Historically, presidents' approval ratings haven't changed much during their re-election years. And at least before the parties' summer conventions, those ratings can fluctuate with less consequence, said Chris Wlezien, a political science professor at Temple University who has analyzed the accuracy of polls leading up to elections.
Other highlights from the Gallup briefing:
– Since the middle of October, Mitt Romney (along with most of the other Republican candidates) has seen a drop in the "positive intensity" voters have toward him, meaning that while they might favor him, they don't say they do strongly. Newt Gingrich, meanwhile, has soared from close to zero intensity at the beginning of August to 20 percent now, far above Romney's 9 percent.
– Gallup's "U.S. satisfaction" rating – how many Americans say they are satisfied with the way things are going – is at the lowest it has been since Carter was president, which is bad news for Obama. The number is at 14 percent. When Carter lost re-election, that number was 19 percent. Lydia Saad, a senior editor at Gallup, said Obama shouldn't feel more comfortable until that number is between 22 percent and 39 percent, the latter of which Clinton enjoyed for his re-election.
– David Rothschild, a research economist at Yahoo!, predicted that the change in the unemployment rate will be a better indicator of Obama's re-election prospects than the level itself on Election Day. He pointed to Reagan's re-election in 1984, when unemployment was at 7.4 percent, not great, but better than it was a year before, at 8.8 percent.

2011 Hall of Famers: In A Class by Themselves –Michelson
September 2011And don't forget Joel Quadracci, chairman, president and CEO of Quad/Graphics—the fourth member of the Quadracci clan (his father, grandfather and uncle) to enter the Hall of Fame. When I notified Joel that he had been chosen by the judges to be inducted, he responded, "At age 42, aren't I too young?" I reminded him how he has already faced a lifetime's worth of challenges and victories in his two decades spent working at Quad. Joel has admirably filled the shoes of his late father, Harry V., who was bigger than life. Last year alone, he engineered the biggest acquisition (Quebecor/Worldcolor) ever made within the U.S. printing industry and took the 25,000 employee-strong company public. If that doesn't qualify for wisdom gained beyond one's age, I don't know what more could. PI

I found this forum and thought I would try my luck here. I've got these named hosta and I'm looking for named iris I do not have.
I do not have my list up because of moving cross country. Another moving van came today with plants, and these are the ones I can put up for trade as of today. I will not be sending out plants till Monday or Tuesday of next week as I'm helping with a 50th wedding anniversary party this Saturday by making the cake and mints. My e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com. As soon as I figure out how to post it here I will do so. If anyone is interested please post here first, and in your subject line if you e-mail me, put your gardenweb name there. Thanks for looking,
Hosta for trade:
Follow-Up Postings:
I hope you put this request on the 'Hosta' forum! They are very nice group of people. I once offered iris for hosta,I didnt request named, but they sent me the cream of their crop! Rae Ann |
I have lots of iris, but not many I can ID when they are not in bloom. Every year I intend to label them, but things just get away from me. You probably already have these: Superstition; frequent flyer (which doens't rebloom for me although I understand it is supposed to); Immortality-which rarely reblooms; Earl of Essex dependably reblooms; Rhine Nixe |

Very, very well built car. Handles like it's on rails and is extremely quick. Taking into mind it's a fairly heavy car, it's very fuel efficient and I would definitely buy another car from this manufacturer.

...and many thanks, applause, kudos..... This was (and continues to be) a brutal winter for many, and the hosta alphabet was the highlight of many days for me. Great that our dedicated 'leader' was wiling to post at a ridiculously early hour to get us up and running. And great responses from so many hosta lovers. Brilliant - whoever originally conceived of the idea. How many years has this been happening? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have no idea of how long the alphabet has been done. Maybe Ken, Babka or Phil will know. I've only been hanging around here for about 5 years, but it's been going on all of that time. This is the first year that I remember having the riddles, though. Here's to Paula! bk |

Paula, thank you for your efforts. Paul |
I don't recall when it all began, but it has been around for a long, long, time. Paula has put a fun, personal touch on it. Now, then, Paula, you did such a wonderful job with the Alphabet this year, we'll be expecting this same grand performance next Winter too! KUDOS to you, Paula! -Babka |

Thank you everyone I have a great time doing it. wow OT my co worker just called me. He has been out of work due to health reasons. I have kept on him about a sore on his ear. He had it checked and it was skin cancer. They found 2 more spots and he is getting it taken care of. What a great day this is turning out to be. All I can say is be ready on Dec 26 at 4:30am est as we are going to do this again. I cannot do it without you as You make the alphabet. Do not forget to keep the camera ready. I am enabling everyone as I have already ordered over 50 hostas. Thank you again. Remember: A Lakeside in every order and everyone needs a LS Shore Master. LOL Ps Each was his name and he did catch 3 fish. =^..^= |
Yeah, took me forever to finally figure out how to do the 1/3 thing. I kept trying to do it using algebra, which I am terrible at. bk |

The hosta alphabet is something I look forward to every year. Thanks to Paula for so reliably keeping it going, and big thanks to EVERYONE who posted pictures. I saw new names in both hostas and posters. This year was an EXCELLENT alphabet! |
I'm with Don, 'the list' is ever growing !!! But I have to stop and say Thank You to Paula as well, for both her time and effort. It is so appreciated by all, and I know that's why she does it. A very giving soul. <3 While I couldn't hit every letter, I enjoyed drool . . . I mean gazing at all the lovelies. Spring needs to 'sprung' . . . soon ! Thanks again for a job well done !

Yup, thank you so much Paula, both before and after the Alphabet. Next year you'll have my undivided attention, since the remodel should be long ended. Talking about the "Must Have" lists....Paula and Don, I am afraid to count mine, just hope DH can be distracted from their arrivals...there is no end to it. In fact, the nice neighborlady behind us chatted yesterday about selling her home, which we have first refusal on....and I am drooling over the 300 foot x 100 foot wide lot ....plus the vacant house next door to that, for another 300 x 100....I could justify it, couldn't you too? One is very shady. One is mixed with a network of tall canopy trees and understory trees. I'm not gonna quit until somebody shovels dirt in my face. |
You never forget your first time, and this was my first hosta alphabet, ...hehe, thanks Paula ! |

'I'm not gonna quit until somebody shovels dirt in my face.'-- Mocc LOL And WHY should you?? I have a feeling that's a sentiment almost all of us can share, and appreciate. I just added 'Sombrero' to 'The List' Mocc. Savory has pieces of the OS clump for 50 bucks, or little TC squirts that have been grown out for only a year, for 20 or 30 bucks. I'll spend more to get an OS mature piece. It's worth it to me. My apologies, Jan, kind of hijacked your thread here. Let us discuss our fragrant fetish on another thread, Mocc. I'll start one. Don B. |

Oops, sorry...just my mind jumps from the temptation of the Alphabet straight into a wish mode. Paula knows...but I was carried away. |

Orange and Cardamom Upside-Down Cake
The cardamom in this cake is an exotic accent for a very traditional recipe.
- 4 navel oranges
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a knife, peel the oranges; be sure to remove all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections into the bowl; pour off and reserve the juice for another use.
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the butter with the brown sugar and cardamom until moistened. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Arrange the orange sections in the skillet in 2 concentric circles with all of the oranges facing the same direction. Pack the oranges tightly together and place 1 orange section in the center to fill the empty space.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with the cardamom, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in half of the dry ingredients, then stir in the milk, vanilla and orange zest. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon the batter over the orange sections. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake springs back when pressed. Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a platter. Serve with whipped cream.

Foods to Reduce Diabetes Risk and Whittle Your Waist
By GalTime .com
Out of all nuts, walnuts may just be the most effective at burning up belly fat and controlling diabetes. Walnuts are one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are not only strong anti-inflammatory nutrients, but they also help to regulate stress hormones such as cortisol. When stress hormones are elevated in your body, it causes your body to store more fat- specifically belly fat. Consuming a high level of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet can help prevent stress hormones from peaking, meaning less of these hormones are circulating in your body, and therefore you start to store less belly fat. In addition, walnuts can have a significant impact on reducing blood sugar. A recent study found that consuming nuts daily reduced A1c levels by as much as 8%. Another study found that walnuts helped to reduce fasting insulin levels. So sprinkle walnuts onto your salads, yogurt, or just snack on a handful a day for a smaller waist and improved blood sugar control.
If you like spicy foods, stock up on hot peppers! Rich in capsaicin, these peppers have a thermogenic effect on the body, boosting metabolism and calorie burn, helping to shed unwanted pounds, especially around the midsection. But that's not their only benefit! A study found that consuming an increased amount of capsaicin for 10 weeks lowered obesity-induced insulin resistance in mice. So add these to everything from salads to chili. You can even use the ground or flaked form to season foods.
What's on your diabetes prevention grocery list?

Rochdale rocked by battling Burton
Burton registered their first win in seven games and kept only their second clean sheet of the season to halt their slide down the table. Richard Walker grabbed the only goal in the third minute when his 10-yard shot took a deflection off Nathan Stanton after a cross from the right by Greg Pearson. The home side found themselves under increasingly heavy pressure as Will Buckley shot into the side-netting in the 10th minute and also had an effort smothered by Burton keeper Artur Krysiak. Burton had another scare when Chris O'Grady's shot was deflected narrowly wide before Simon Whaley headed too high in a goalmouth skirmish. Burton had their chances too, with Pearson and Walker both going close, while Whaley wasted a couple of further opportunities for the visitors.

Bernanke center stage: one of five things to watch April 27
Bernanke press conference will be one for history books – and traders. Earnings will also be released from the likes of Boeing, BP, Starbucks, and Moody's.
Tami Chappell/Reuters/File
By CNBC.com
The Fed extravaganza in focus, accompanied by an entourage of earnings. Ford, previewed yesterday, set the pace with its best 1st quarter in 13 years. Can Boeing and Conoco-Philips keep up the momentum? In total, a tradable treasure trove Wednesday. Here's what we're watching…
1. Meet the Fed: That's a great YouTube video waiting to happen (to the tune of "Meet the Mets"). Can someone make that happen? Regardless, the Fed will follow the release of an earlied-up 12:30pm ET policy statement with Chairman Ben Bernanke's 2:15pm ET news conference, a watershed moment of transparency for our central bank. The question remains: why? Has Congressional scrutiny gotten so bad the Fed feels extreme measures are necessary to ensure its independence? Whatever the motivation, markets will be glued to Bernanke's every word.

Furthermore, to keep certain events separated from each other, you can use more than one calendar at once and distribute them based on their category or importance.
View daily, weekly or monthly events and add multiple resources
MultiCalendar Personal Edition is an application that allows you to organize and manage your appointments and events into multiple calendars, as well as add notes, reminders and contacts. To have a better overview on the most important meetings and events, you can sort them by day, week or month. Each view mode enables you to drag-and-drop appointments and move them around the calendar.
Creating a new resource means that you add another calendar in the main window, where you can add new appointments or move the already existing ones. These resources can be renamed according to your preferences and you can customize their appearance by modifying their color scheme and icon image.
Synchronize data with Outlook and archive the event list
One of the more advanced features of MultiCalendar Personal Edition is the ability to synchronize its content with Microsoft Outlook and even import or export files. The synchronization allows you to update a specific calendar resource depending on customizable Outlook actions and you can also set up the conflict resolving method, in order to avoid issues.
All of your events can be archived and saved in the application's history section, from where they can be restored if you ever need to. You can also create backups for the whole database, which are saved on your computer and transferred to any type of device, including USB flash drives or external hard disks.
In conclusion
As far as calendar utilities go, MultiCalendar Personal Edition offers a wide range of functions and customization possibilities to create and maintain a complete personal schedule. In addition, the familiar tabbed interface is responsive and easy-to-use for anyone, regardless of their computer experience.

Jungle Jim's??? They also have excellent desserts and milk shakes.
Have you ever had a bit of trivia from your past just elude you, and it drives you nuts? Well, I need us to set the Wayback Machine back to the '70's. The first night when we arrived in Orlando we usually stayed outside the park. We would have dinner at a restaurant that I think had a hunting theme and they had the best steaks and prime rib (at least it was pretty tasty to a little kid). What I remember most distinctly is their kiddie menus had cartoon pictures of various animals (the same ones I would be about to eat, perhaps?). I remember a deer wearing an Elmer Fudd hat, and maybe a buffalo.
Anyone else remember this place, or the name? I doubt it's still around, and since I'm now a fairly dedicated foodie and it might destroy my fond memories, but I just thought if anyone would remember this place, it would be someone from this forum.
Jungle Jim's??? They also have excellent desserts and milk shakes.
Jungle Jim's??? They also have excellent desserts and milk shakes.
I'm pretty sure that's not it, unless it has really changed. This place specialized in beef, like steaks and prime rib. Also, I think the theme was like a hunting lodge, not so jungle-ish.
Thanks, though. I think this questions goes back quite a bit, I barely remember it and I loved the children's prime rib. It wasn't anywhere near Disney. It was in downtown Orlando, I believe. It was a pretty busy place, though, we usually had to wait.

The Adventure Cycling blog covers bicycle-travel news, touring tips and gear, bicycle routes, organizational news, membership highlights, guided tours, and more. Follow us on Facebook or Twitter for daily updates.
Photo by Adam Coppola
Support Adventure Cycling Association while experiencing the ride of a lifetime! Adventure Cycling is participating in Climate Ride California, a 5-day, fully supported 'green conference on wheels' where people who care about sustainability, renewable energy, and bike advocacy pedal together to make a difference.
We've had a terrific array of tales told at BikeOvernights.org over the past few weeks.
Adventure Cycling Association has offered the C&O Canal and the Great Allegheny Passage tour for the past 9 years. The 340-mile, off-road ride is fully supported with catered meals, water stops, SAG services, mechanical support, and luggage transport. The riders' only obligation is to have fun. The tour leader, Larry Brock, has led countless groups along this route and makes sure the riders' experiences are a top priority. Here are some highlights from the trip.
In my latest "Fine Tuned" column in this month's Adventure Cyclist, I focused on gravel riding. Gravel roads are where I tend to spend the majority of my time in the saddle, so it's an exciting topic for me. To keep the momentum running, today I'm going to run down some of my favorite gravel tires.
We recently sent out our annual member survey. There were several opportunities on the survey for members to tell us more through comments. As the responses come in, they are read and sorted by hand and distributed to the appropriate departments. Carla and I have been spending some time handling the Routes & Mapping share. It was through this process of correspondence that a great story from the road was shared with me, one that I couldn't have made up.
Three Adventure Cycling staff (Ginny Sullivan, Winona Bateman, and myself) traveled last week to the National Bike Summit in Washington, DC. Although it was my eighth summit, it felt really new and fresh. Here are five highlights!
The talent and fervor of Adventure Cycling members, readers, and followers never ceases to amaze me. We received incredible shots for our 4th Annual Bicycle Travel Photo Contest. A panel of five judges picked the winners from over 450 submissions. The March Issue of Adventure Cyclist highlights these wonderful photos. If you haven't seen them in print yet, drumroll please …
Last year I decided to celebrate the completion of my master's degree by committing to my first multi-day tour: I booked the Introduction to Bike Touring course offered by Adventure Cycling in Oregon. It seemed a fitting end to a program that included interning for and writing my thesis about them. After the trip I can say, without qualification, it was a great experience!
There are two items that represent the joy of childhood to me: bikes and kites. Riding a bike was easy for me. Flying a kite ... not so much.If I crashed my bike as often as I crashed my kites as a kid, I wouldn't be alive today. Watching the kids in Myanmar fly their kites with an ease I've never known, I suppose my mistake was always going for the largest kite at the store--bigger was better. Except that no matter how fast I ran, my kite would get about 50 feet off the ground, start doing pinwheels, suddenly nose dive, and crash with a fatal thud.
Looking at our route network the other day, I was thinking about loop routes and connections. The wide open gap across the south central United States caught my eye. Then I remembered hearing something about the Chisholm Trail. The historic Chisholm Trail was developed after the Civil War to move cattle from Texas north to Kansas. A growing railroad presence could then be utilized to move animals eastward where the majority of the U.S. population lived.
AASHTO is proud to be among the many supporters of the 2013 National Bike Summit. This week, the premiere advocacy event for cycling brings more than 800 enthusiasts of all types to the nation's capital. If you haven't participated in the National Bike Summit before, I highly recommend you do. The summit provides a solid voice for bike advocates and their allies, as well as a space for seminars on advocacy and the benefits of cycling. I'm sure you already know the health and economic benefits of cycling, and AASHTO does too.
I find it interesting that most cars come standard with three rearview mirrors, but bicycles are sold without any! Perhaps the thought is that bicycles don't have a reverse gear, so why would you need mirrors for backing up? But seriously, cycle mirrors not only let you see what the cars behind you are doing — if used correctly, they can also enable you influence how the traffic will pass you.
We fully understand that when you're planning a big ride, you want to stretch your budget as far as you can. With that in mind, we've partnered up with some awesome companies to provide great discounts for our members. Here's what we have to offer.
Instead of cycling the main highway in Southern Laos, we opted to pedal the tracks and foot paths along the Mekong. It was slow going, but the ability to be so close to people's daily lives was worth the effort. One early morning we came upon a man who was busy mending a fishing net. I asked if could take a photo and positioned myself so I could capture his silhouette. He was such a master at his craft that his movements, rather than being abrupt, were balletic. Kat was on the opposite side and snapped a photo of the fisherman in the glorious morning light.
A peculiar looking fork, Salsa's Enabler first caught my eye a few years ago when introduced as their rigid 29er "adventure fork." It has since become the stock fork on their Mukluk line of fat bikes and it is becoming a go-to option for a fatbike frame build. While putting together a fatbike build earlier this winter, I took an opportunity to purchase one and put it to use with my setup. Although I haven't tested it to it's fullest potential for overnight adventures and gear hauling, it has steered wonderfully so far and I have thoroughly enjoyed some of the features of this unique fork.
The U.S. Bicycle Route System, as an AASHTO project, follows many of the same guidelines and rules as any transportation project. For signing, the guiding document supplied by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUCTD).
We are very grateful to be beneficiaries of Climate Ride again this year! Everyone here at Adventure Cycling is so geared up for it that in order to choose team captains for Climate Ride California and Climate Ride NYC to DC we had to hold a lottery!
View photo compilations from some of Adventure Cycling's most recent tours.
In the current issue of Adventure Cyclist, I brought up compact frame geometry in my Fine Tuned column. One benefit of compact geometry that I failed to bring up in that article is in the case of fat bikes, where it seems to be heavily favored.
Two and a half years ago, three touring cyclists were cited for violating Black Hawk, Colorado's ordinance banning bicycling on most streets in their town. The ordinance made the town impossible to legally ride through. After failing in the first two rounds of court proceedings, they continued their appeal all the way to the highest court in the state.
In September, Adventure Cycling announced its first Bicycle Travel Video Contest. Since then, we've enjoyed a slew of submissions from touring cyclists around the globe. We've also had the great pleasure of publishing a series of how-to posts on creating bike-touring videos, contributed by some of our volunteer judges -- all experienced touring cyclists and knowledgeable videographers. Their posts covered everything from storytelling to equipment. We thought it would be fun to offer a round up of those expert posts so you can enjoy them all in one place.
With snow and ice abounding in Missoula, it would be so nice to ride a fat bike around, to officially participate in Fat Bike February. But the finances for a rad, new bike are just not in the cards this year. (And truth be told, if I buy one bike this year, it'll probably be this one.) So to stabilize my bike travel, I made my own studded tires! It was easier than I had imagined and I made a video to share this ever-rewarding do-it-yourself with you.
Over the last few months, Adventure Cycling has been very busy working to create new opportunities for bike travel in North America, for example by developing new routes like an Idaho hot springs off-pavement route and Bicycle Route 66, and advancing an official U.S. Bicycle Route System.
It's Fat Bike February, and with the future of fat bikes so bright, you had best be wearing some shades. When talking about fat bike apparel, there is often a lot of focus on warm layers, and waterproof clothing, however, sunglasses are a pivotal piece of equipment. Whether you're riding through the snow or along a beach, chances are you're going to have a lot of surface area around you reflecting the sunlight back up into your face, intensifying it the sun's effect. This can impair your vision, and believe it or not, squinting does soak up a good amount of energy over the long run, which you would much rather put into pedaling.
Through all four seasons and twelve months of 2012, I rode a fat bike, exclusively. I commuted through a winter in Alaska, toured south through Canada, followed the Great Divide Route and the Colorado Trail, and eventually settled into New Mexico for the winter -- all on big rubber, all on an old, purple Surly Pugsley. But I don't need big tires for every ride, and I have built a Velo Orange Campeur frame into a capable urban commuter, touring bike, and light dirt-road machine. However, with the opportunity to spend a few days riding out of town this past week I immediately knew which bike to take.

Berkeley, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/16/2014 -- iHomefinder today introduced a new, responsive version of Optima Express, their leading IDX plugin for WordPress real estate sites. It's packed with new features and wrapped in a sleek redesign. The most significant change is that Optima Express now uses responsive design, allowing agents and brokers to reach clients on any device with a single website.
Mobile web usage has grown over 50% in the past year and now represents more than a quarter of all website traffic, making it critical for real estate agent and brokers to have a website that is optimized for any screen. A website using the Optima Express IDX plugin and a responsive WordPress theme allows a broker or agent's prospects and clients to search for and view properties, contact the agent or broker, and save their favorite listings no matter whether they're on a laptop, tablet or smartphone.
There are significant SEO benefits in a having a responsive website instead of redirecting to a mobile-only version; Google explicitly recommends a single, responsive website as its preferred configuration for mobile websites. Optima Express provides agents and broker sites with search engine-indexable listings as well as other SEO-enhancing features. The addition of responsive design provides a clear advantage over sites using redirects and other methods to display separate mobile-only content.
Other new Optima Express features improve the user experience and are designed to capture more leads, including additional lead capture widgets, multiple quick search layouts, an easily changed color scheme, larger and retina-quality photos (where available), and a new, more user-friendly search experience. Built using the Bootstrap framework, Optima Express is now more flexible than ever and offers web designers endless opportunities for customization.
"For agents and brokers, responsive design is a necessity, not a trend," said Brett DeSchepper, CEO of iHomefinder. "Aside from providing an SEO advantage, it simply makes sense to have one website that works on any device. It makes it possible for leads to come from anywhere."
To learn more about Optima Express, sign up for a trial account or see pricing information, please visit http://www.ihomefinder.com/products/optima-express/. A demonstration site is available at http://www.optima-express-demo.com

The place has been given a major renovation since it was a dark little waffle house. All tables benefit from the fact that two entire sides of the space are banked with large windows. The front bay of tables also enjoys a large skylight overhead. There are no interior walls separating the sections, only large pillars, so sunshine floods the place. Our server pointed out that we could pull down the shade next to our table if we found it to be too warm or sunny, which--after this seemingly eternal winter--we definitely did not do.
Besides being light and cheery, Rise 'n' Shine offers prompt, friendly service.

Investment Basics
Successful investment planning is part of the overall financial planning process. Before you begin to assess specific investment vehicles and decide where to put your money, you need to understand your financial situation fully, develop your goals and establish a timetable to accomplish them. In short, you need to know where you are and how you want to proceed prior to building an investment plan.
Asset classes
Investments can be grouped into three general categories or asset classes:
- Cash/money market securities - a conservative investment that pays a current rate of interest; often represents a short-term loan to the most credit worthy companies or government agencies.
- Bonds - represent a loan to a company or a government agency, generally issued for longer periods of time, usually one to 30 years.
- Stocks - often referred to as "equities," stocks represent ownership of a company and are considered a higher-risk investment.
A diversified investment approach spreads your money among several investment classes and types with different levels of risk. Diversification is based on the likelihood that the market values of some investments in your portfolio will go up while the market values of others go down. It helps reduce overall risk but may not protect against the possibility of losing some or all of the money invested.
Market risk
Market risk means the level that your principal investment fluctuates, causing your shares to be worth more or less than the original cost when sold. Some people can tolerate more risk while seeking higher returns. Others cannot and want more stable returns, even if the total return over time may be lower.
Dollar cost averaging
Choose a consistent amount of money to invest on a regular basis. The process is called dollar cost averaging. When the price of each fund share is low, you'll buy more shares. When shares are high, you'll buy fewer of them. When you sell, you may have purchased more shares for less than if you tried to guess the top or bottom price of the market. Although it cannot assure a profit, dollar cost averaging has proven successful in good times and bad. The longer the period of regular investing, the better dollar cost averaging may help smooth out the cost basis.
Types of mutual funds
"Variety" is a one-word description of investment choices, particularly mutual funds. There are many mutual fund types from which you can choose - conservative, aggressive, income, growth, value, growth and income, balanced, to name a few. Carefully assess investment vehicles before you decide on a specific investment for your plan.
Interest is an amount paid out by people or banks to borrow money. It is commonly represented as a percentage of the principal, or loan amount. There are two types of interest; simple and compound. Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, so that $100 dollars at 5% interest would pay $5 each year. Compound interest differs in that it also factors in accumulated interest as well as principal. That same $100 dollars at 5% interest would pay $5 in the first year. But compounded annually, in the second year the interest would be $5.25, because the interest would be calculated on $105, which is the original principal of $100 as well as the accumulated interest $5. All other factors being equal, funds grow quicker when compounded annually rather than with simple interest.
Inflation is the idea that the purchasing power of money decreases over time. Another term, deflation, is the opposite, when the purchasing power of money increases over time. Purchasing power is the relative comparison of how many units of good a unit of money can buy at different periods of time. For example, a dollar bill that once could have bought an ice cream cone loses purchasing power if the price of the ice cream cone increases over time. Because of the effect of interest, we generally expect inflation to occur over time.
Rule of 72
The Rule of 72 is a helpful formula to help you quickly approximate the number of years it will take for a sum of money to double at a given interest rate compounded annually.
Years to double = 72 / Interest rate
In order to approximate how long it would take for an amount to double at 10% interest, you would divide 72 by 10 to get about 7 years. You can rearrange the formula to figure out the rate at which an investment received interest.
In general, there is a noticeable effect to reducing the interest rate. For example, if you were to accept 3% interest rather than 6% interest, you would have to wait approximately 24 years for that investment to double, rather than 12 years. Remember that the rule of 72 is only an approximation.
Need help?
Choosing investments is often difficult. You may want help from a financial planner, giving yourself added opportunity to make informed investment decisions - ones that better help you achieve your financial goals.

AMAZING lifting!
Holy ****!
Saw this with my own two eyes, he manhandled the weight. He is good for 1000
Unreal, he's a monster of a man that's for sure.
This guy is a beast! Love reading up on his journal and watching this guy lift. HUGE man...just huge.
Those are some huge numbers; I heard that he pulled 605 lbs which gives him a 2,205 RAW total.
Did anyone take video of the lifts?
Great work Rob! An absolutely insane total
Congrat big man. I'm about to throw my diet out the window. Just amazing!
This is such a crazy squat I almost have to see it to believe it.
Great work!
Robert, awesome job on the squat and the big total!!!!!

Man is a monster, moving a weight like that. insane
It was amazing to see in person. Hell, that made me jump off my chair! Unreal!

Sick freaking squat big fella!!

Looks consistent with all his other squatting videos. Close to a grand now!
Thank you Chris and everybody else this is just the beginning. This lift was a shock to me with the lost of my best friend and my only father figure my grand dad but it gave me the motivation to go all out and do what needed to be done. AtLarge is the best supplements and if anyone says different checkout the videos.
Wow, that went up fast...
Congratulations King Kong!
I was blown away but Robert's speed on his squat and bench, i swear he got faster as it got heavier!
O my hell bb.com is so ridiculous

PROGRESS: Expansion should allow for more privacy in counseling
SAN ANGELO, Texas - God has richly blessed Rust Street Ministries throughout the years. Located in a sprawling facility in the 800 block of Rust Street, Rust Street Ministries is a place for men, women and children who are in need of temporary assistance.
The programs of Rust Street Ministries are designed to contribute to the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical needs of our community. Rust Street Ministries is a ministry of Johnson Street Church of Christ and is supported by 12 area churches, several businesses and individuals throughout the Concho Valley.
In 2014, Rust Street Ministries will continue remodeling the 31,000 square foot building on the corner of Avenue D and Rust Street. Current renovations include a restroom project, expected to be complete by early spring. Once the restrooms are completed, staff will relocate their current office space, and the existing space will be remodeled and expanded to allow more privacy for counseling. Projected uses for the new building include establishing Sunday night worship services. We will partner with the Red Cross Disaster Service to house displaced individuals in the event of a disaster.
Rust Street Ministries will continue to accept donations and contributions from local businesses and individuals that enable the ministry to provide, store, transport and distribute items to serve the needy in our community.
Rust Street Ministries partners with West Texas Counseling to offer the Tools for Life program, a bicycle repair program that provides life skills and training to young people.
In 2014, Rust Street hopes to provide a "living room" for Fort Concho Elementary School teachers and counselors to mentor their students.
Another prospective project for 2014 or beyond is a partnership with the YMCA for a new child care program.
Rust Street will continue to work with the ASU Small Business Development Center and Concho Valley Community Action Agency to provide new business loans at no interest to applicants who provide an approved business plan.
Rust Street plans to partner with On the Road Loans to help individuals obtain a reliable vehicle.
The ministry needs volunteers with willing hearts to reach out to and pray with more than 60 neighbors who visit daily; learn about their needs and give a hand up, not a hand out. Through the generosity of our churches and individuals, the ministry's main goal and desire will continue to be to minister to our community. The needs in the Concho Valley are many; please consider joining us in 2014.
For more information, call 325-486-1004.
Bob Knox is director of Rust Street Ministries.

Google Denied In Bid To Block U.S Sales Of Microsoft Products
Google's attempts to wield its Motorola Mobility patents to block Microsoft from selling certain products -- a somewhat Machiavellian scheme for a company that professes to "do no evil" -- were foiled by a federal judge this week. As reported by Bloomberg, Judge James Robart of the U.S. District Court in Seattle reminded Google of its earlier pledge, made while it was petitioning regulators to let its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility to go through, not to abuse the patent trove that came with the deal.
