O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Justin Verlander summoned athletic trainer Kevin Rand and pitching coach Jeff Jones to the clubhouse after the seventh inning to examine a callus on his thumb that had begun to bleed.
He wanted to stay in the game -- and would have kept pitching if it were already October, and not just mid-May.Verlander struck out eight to win his fourth straight decision, and the Detroit Tigers beat the ailing Oakland Athletics 3-1 on Sunday to salvage a series split.Detroit's ace doesn't expect the tiny blister near the knuckle of his thumb to affect him, other than being an annoyance. He might try using more moisturizer between starts to keep the area from drying out."I really don't know what happened. It's kind of been happening for me all season long and I've been trying to deal with it and figure it out," he said. "Obviously I want to go back, but the risk-reward, seventh inning ... there's no point in going out there and risking it and maybe something serious happens. If I could, I would. Maybe if it's the World Series I'd have gone back out there, who cares."Miguel Cabrera hit a pair of RBI singles and Austin Jackson drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to put Detroit ahead, helping Verlander (4-1) win his 13th straight road decision dating to July 10.Verlander easily worked through Oakland's order for the first time, tossing three perfect innings on 42 pitches.Josh Reddick hit a sharp single to center with two outs in the fourth for the first baserunner against Verlander, who then threw wildly trying for a pickoff and wound up with a two-base error and Reddick on third. But Jonny Gomes struck out swinging as Verlander escaped unscathed.Seth Smith hit a tying solo homer to start the fifth and A's starter Jarrod Parker (1-1) retired the first two batters of the sixth, getting a huge lift from fill-in second baseman Eric Sogard's leaping, lunging stop of a high liner by Alex Avila. But Brennan Boesch doubled and Jhonny Peralta and Ryan Raburn drew back-to-back walks to chase Parker and load the bases.Grant Balfour, demoted from his closer role in recent days, then walked Jackson to force home the go-ahead run.Sogard was called out on a close play in the bottom half, when third baseman Cabrera fielded his bunt and made a high throw to first that replays showed Sogard beat.Manager Bob Melvin ran out to argue with first-base umpire Mike Everitt.Verlander didn't walk a batter until there were two outs in the seventh -- around the time he noticed his thumb was bleeding -- then retired Josh Donaldson on a fly ball to center to finish his 114-pitch day against an A's lineup featuring only four regulars.The hard-throwing right-hander pitched eight scoreless innings against the A's last Sept. 18 in a 3-0 Tigers win in the Oakland Coliseum. During his road winning streak, Verlander owns a 2.71 ERA with 104 strikeouts.He looked dominant early, pitching on the same mound two years after Oakland's Dallas Braden tossed an improbable perfect game here on Mother's Day against Tampa Bay."He's an ace for a reason," Oakland's Daric Barton said. "You think one thing and get something else. Sometimes you even get the pitch you're looking for and still can't do anything with it."Joaquin Benoit pitched the eighth and Jose Valverde worked the ninth for his seventh save in nine chances.Detroit took the series opener Thursday night 10-6 but had dropped the next two before coming through in the finale. The Tigers head to Chicago to face the White Sox looking for their first consecutive victories since a four-game streak from April 15-18."We didn't really break out yet, but we swung it a little better. It was a good win for us," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.The short-handed A's were without their hottest hitter, Brandon Inge, because of groin tightness. Catcher Kurt Suzuki was out nursing a tender left thumb. A day after Cuban slugger Yoenis Cespedes went on the disabled list with a hand injury, Kila Ka'aihue also couldn't play for the second straight day because of a strained lower right hamstring and calf muscle. Second baseman Jemile Weeks rested a day after leaving in the fourth inning with a sprained left ankle.Prince Fielder went 0 for 5 to finish a 0-for-18 series and is mired in a 0-for-22 funk since a home run Tuesday in Seattle. He is 4 for 28 (.143) on this road trip for the Tigers, who are playing a stretch with 19 of 24 games away from the Motor City.Leyland isn't panicking about his big-money slugger, signed to a $214 million, nine-year contract in January."We've got guys who've got track records that will hit, it's just a matter of when," Leyland said, noting some advice he got from Ted Williams: "Don't worry about hitting the ball on the ground and don't worry about hitting the ball in the air, just worry about hitting it hard."Cabrera had an RBI single in the fifth and another for an insurance run in the ninth. He is batting .348 (48 for 138) with 10 doubles, 11 home runs and 36 RBIs in 38 career games vs. Oakland.Game notes:
A's pitchers are beginning their hitting preparation ahead of next weekend's interleague Bay Bridge Series with the San Francisco Giants. ... Detroit RHP Luis Marte, on the DL since April 4 with a strained left hamstring, appeared in a game Saturday for the first time in his rehab. He allowed one hit and struck out three in one inning, throwing 15 pitches in an extended spring training game. ... In his last 38 May starts, Verlander is 23-8 with a 2.71 ERA and 222 strikeouts.

Banded Water Snake Information & Facts
: The banded water snake also known as the Nerodia Fasciata Fasciata is one of the types of snakes that you rarely see. In the southern area of North America is mostly where these snakes are found. Over time, they have adopted many scientific names such as Natrix Sipedon Fasciata, Tropidonotous Fasciatus, and Coluber Fasciatus. These snakes can grow up to over 40 inches long and they appear as reddish brown or deep brown. Their bellies are yellow in color with red or black spots that are bright enough to be noticed. However, their skin may become darker with age. These snakes often have cross bands on their backs and sides. Some of them are wider while others are narrower. They are keeled, heavy bodied and often lose their banding as they age.
: Because these snakes are not known for eating other snakes, they can be put together in groups or with other snakes. They typically enjoy living in freshwater areas like the marshes, lakes, streams, rivers and ponds and are found in the southern area of North America. They can sometimes be found on land, hanging from tree branches and even though they are not very attractive pets, being held captive is not a problem for them. While these snakes are very common in many places especially Florida, they are not very protected either.
: Their disposition is quite nasty but they are quite easy to care for if you wanted to take one home to have as a pet. This type of snake will normally flee at the sign of trouble. However, it does not always work out that way. In this case, they will bite and release an irritating musk if they feel threatened. Otherwise, they can live quite comfortably amongst humans or other animals. Avoid picking these snakes up because they will take offense and strike. In some cases, you will find water snakes that will eat food from your hand. However, this is not a chance that you would want to take. These snakes can be found in the day or the night time. However, they are more active at night.
: Speaking of rodents, if you have a problem with them on your property, a banded water snake will certainly devour them for you. The water snake is always active so they do not eat very much food all at the same time. They may go days without eating. You can expect their diet to consist of tadpoles, crayfish, salamanders, small fishes and frogs.
: Close to the end of the summer months you can expect these snakes to have about 25 or more babies. In fact, it was reported about 10 years ago that one actually had 44 babies in the late months of the summer. This is the most that has been recorded so far. Their babies are known to appear as a bright 8 inches long patterned snake. These snakes are live bearers and their babies have no problem with breeding in a captive environment. Just like their parents, they will strike when they feel in danger and the development of their musk glands is complete when born. They begin mating in the spring and have their children during the summer.
More Interesting Facts
: The banded water snake is often mistaken as the cottonmouth snake or a moccasin which is venomous but appears very similar to the banded water snake. The only real way to tell them apart is by paying attention to their behavior. A banded water snake does not open its mouth wide in an attempt to attack when feeling danger is near. Also, the banded water snake does not find it amusing to switch its tail when it feels somewhat disturbed like the cottonmouth snake does.
Knowing the differences between these snakes is very important considering it could save you a trip to the hospital. These snakes are found in the same places and often eat some of the same things. It can be very hard to notice the difference until you get close to them and pay close attention to their behavior.
Many people want to know how to kill a Banded Water Snake, but you don't need to. The best way to get rid of Banded Water Snakes is to simply leave them alone. You can also use a Banded Water Snake trap to catch them - that's one of the best ways for how to remove Banded Water Snake. For more information, go to my

At the moment we want to show you beautiful and gentle photos of Iwona Drozda-Sibeijn, photographer from Amstelveen, the Netherlands. As being a manager, majoring in EU projects in non-profit organizations. Art has never been my occupation but rather a hobby, which started playing more and more significant role in my life. 5 years ago I was still making collages in Corel Photopaint out of horrible photos taken with a compact camera. Getting new gear 2 years ago brought me to another level-I surprisingly noticed my pictures were gaining a better quality! This is someplace I am now; trying new techniques improving my possessions and share it all with wider audience. Yet still, art remains the same for me-a perfect way to embody my emotions." Hope you will like it.

Axin, APC, and the kinase GSK3 beta are part of a destruction complex that regulates the stability of the Wnt pathway effector beta-catenin. In C. elegans, several Wnt-controlled developmental processes have been described, but an Axin ortholog has not been found in the genome sequence and SGG-1/GSK3 beta, and the APC-related protein APR-1 have been shown to act in a positive, rather than negative fashion in Wnt signaling. We have shown previously that the EGL-20/Wnt-dependent expression of the homeobox gene mab-5 in the Q neuroblast lineage requires BAR-1/beta-catenin and POP-1/Tcf. Here, we have investigated how BAR-1 is regulated by the EGL-20 pathway. First, we have characterized a negative regulator of the EGL-20 pathway, pry-1. We show that pry-1 encodes an RGS and DIX domain-containing protein that is distantly related to Axin/Conductin. Our results demonstrate that despite its sequence divergence, PRY-1 is a functional Axin homolog. We show that PRY-1 interacts with BAR-1, SGG-1, and APR-1 and that overexpression of PRY-1 inhibits mab-5 expression. Furthermore, pry-1 rescues the zebrafish axin1 mutation masterblind, showing that it can functionally interact with vertebrate destruction complex components. Finally, we show that SGG-1, in addition to its positive regulatory role in early embryonic Wnt signaling, may function as a negative regulator of the EGL-20 pathway. We conclude that a highly divergent destruction complex consisting of PRY-1, SGG-1, and APR-1 regulates BAR-1/beta-catenin signaling in C. elegans.

My go-to flats
August 27, 2014
Honestly, I've had these shoes for months and wear them quite often and they show nearly no signs of wearing down like flats usually do. They are my go to shoes because I can pair them with just about anything and they instantly make the outfit complete and look polished. They fit true to side for me and are actually very comfortable and more sturdy than you would think. I got a size 7.5 in black, I would most definitely recommend these to a friend.
Pros:Fit true to size Comfortable Great price Goes great with anything |

Headline is exactly what the product is.
August 12, 2014
I love ordering from Go Jane, and this is not the first time I've ordered shoes speicifically. Shipping is awesome, didn't take long at all. I ordered on a Sunday and I got my items a few days later. The shoes are very soft and flexible, and they look exactly like they do in the photo. BUT----they are not true to size. I've worn a size 6 1/2 for years, all my shoes are this size and all of them fit......but when I order a 6 1/2 from Go Jane......they are always, always, always too small and it's taken a few tries to figure this out for sure. The brand of shoe itself is qupid and they run small. I'm not sure that all the shoes (or flats) on Go Jane are from this brand, but beware that they run small. The only problem is, upon confirming this I wanted to exchange the shoes.....but after a week has gone by since I ordered them there are none left in the next size up! So now I'm stuck with some shoes that are a bit too small. I love the shoes, and their price, and overall my experience with orering them was positive, but I am bummed that I'll have to squeeze into them. Don't make the same mistake I did and order a size bigger than what you normally wear, the size chart doesn't help much. Good luck shoppers!
Pros:Perfect shoe, perfect price, awesome shipping.Cons:These are not true to size. Ever. |

I am researching ancestors of my paternal family. The family has a mixture of American and Canadian lines back to the late 1800's. James Justus was born on Sept.7, 1877 in Minnesota, USA. He married Mary Ann McKinzie on March 3,1900 in Minnesota. However, it is believed that he re-married and eventually moved to Spalding, Saskatchewan, where he died on December 14, 1949. I am searching for any of his ancestors or descendants from his (possible) second marriage. Only the decendants from his children with Mary Ann are known. I am also researching ancestors of maternal family, Dexter Davison (app 1900) from Halifax, Kentville areas of Nova Scotia. I am willing to share some family info for the sole purpose of connecting our heritages. |

I did not blog my freshman year, but if I had you surely would have heard about Unit 2. This was the unit of residents in Ross Hall that I was placed into. It was an incredible mix of people who meshed well from day one. My best friends at Butler come from this unit, and I stay in contact with almost all of them to this day.
We were basically a group of individuals who were fun-loving, outgoing, and able to get along really well. It even happened the we would adopt residents from the surrounding (obviously less interesting) units. We also had a weird sort of attachment to Chris, our RA. It turned out that he wasn't a fan of hugs, and that our unit as a whole was a fan of mass, surprise group hugs.
Recently a number of us met and reminisced about shenanigans from freshman year, caught up on each others' lives to date, and had a generally fun time. It's nice knowing that, although many of us took different paths through Butler, there's still that crossroad that we can return to that brought us together for a year. (And if you're thinking you're tired of this metaphor, too bad. I'm nostalgic).

Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1998. [format: book], [genre: letter]. Permission: University of Illinois Press
August 23d 1887. Friend Herndon Your three letters are all at hand to day on my return from a three weeks trip East. on my return last night I passed through Greencastle at midnight but had no idea you was there. [1] You should hav recd the last photo long since: I sent it and it is an admirable likeness: the best I have seen. I am going in for a "Lecture on Lincoln" and I need your endorsement: I will see you about it later. If the mail has lost the photo: I can replace it but I presume it is not lost. I mailed it to Springfield. As to the cause of Lincolns melancholy I have no facts whatever of my own: and my judgement & opinion are founded on matters that have been mentioned between us privately & which cannot be printed. From Lamon's life [2] & what was then stated I based my inference mainly: then my reasoning was that Lincolns melancholy was illogical & unexplainable by any course of observation or reasoning it was ingrained & being ingrained could not be reduced to rule or the cause arrayed: and was necessarily hereditary but whether it came from a long line and far back or was simply formed during the period of gestation cannot be determined. Stuart said it all arose from abnormal digestion from the failure of his liver to work while Matheny said he wasnt melancholy at all. I can't help you on this & please don't mention me in connection with it. The thumps kicks [3] &c. I know nothing about: really my ideas on the whole subject I got from Lamons life which really on that subject is not very clear: You owe an apology to the world for not having written that book after doing so excellent service in gathering such a world of material. I think if you had written such a work it would have been the most graphic American Biography of anyone. You touch me on a tender chord when you ask about Lincoln & Davis. The latter is now dead: he had many virtues & some defects & I can never forget his kindness to me in the first years of my acquaintance: but I dont think Lincoln held Davis very close to his heart: he was too loquacious too vain too vacillating in his friendships: look at Davis' array of posthumous friends & where are they? & who are they? we tried to raise $1000.# to pay for a bust of Davis & I will tell you of the success so far as I pursued it: and I pursued it through all his friends that I knew. Weldon cheerfully subscribed $100.# Bishop ditto: Frank Orme $50.00: Swett $100.# & then the thing stuck: altho' the widow Davis expressed some desire to pay for the whole thing. Clifton H. Moore refused: Jno. G. Nicolay refused: George Perrin Davis refused: Mrs Swayne refused: Jesse Fell refused to try to do anything: so you see that when Davis' autocratic force was withdrawn, all love must also. I think Davis had no influence on Lincoln: he believed in you Swett Williams Browning Judd Logan Stuart: but he despised O. L. Davis & only barely tolerated D. Davis Weldon C. H. Moore: he liked Cullom & Lamon both: this he told me himself in 1856. when both wanted to run for Pros Atty. Look at Thurlow Weeds autobiography [4] & you will there see Lincolns feeling of contempt for Davis portrayed. I think Lincoln meant just what he said & what might be implied from what he did say. I can give you some further facts about Lincoln & Davis (not very significant) from my own knowledge: and will do so if you desire when I get a moments leisure. I have forgotten what office Dubois wanted: but it was no secret in Springfield & elsewhere that he did want a specifically named office. It seems to me it was 5th Auditor: but I am not clear: but any one in Springfield will recollect. He made a strong effort for it & was greatly chagrined when he got defeated. I don't recollect what the office was or who got it. Nicolay can inform you on both points: [5] I think Lincoln never had any intention of appointing Davis to any office at all & was disgusted at Davis' hoggishness after office for himself for H. Winter Davis his cousin & for all his personal friends: In this very short time after Lincoln took the Presidential oath; Davis sought him out & forced him to appoint Archy Williams District Judge of Kansas & Jno A. Jones, Supt. of statistics in the State dept. Lincoln felt very sore over this to my certain knowledge. I can repeat nearly verbatim what Lincoln said to me about it on March 5th 1861. Davis undoubtedly had Williams appointed to get him out of the way of filling Mc Leans vacancy: [6] & he had Jones appointed from pure love. When Davis was appointed with Holt & Campbell to adjust the Freemont claims [7] his rage at Lincoln knew no bounds: he sent for me to meet him at St Louis at the Planters House and he kept me there for 2 days discussing Lincoln & Davis &c. he substantially sent a message to Lincoln by me but I never delivered it: but I did say to Lincoln in 1861. (July) "Davis thinks you ought to make him a Supreme Judge & it looks as if you ought to do it." Lincoln didn't make the least reply. I feel satisfied he had not the slightest idea of doing so then. But if you want these matters more fully developed I will do so at greater lengath.

EUGENE, Ore. — Commissioners unanimously approved $70,000 to pay for equipment and supplies at a medical clinic in Oakridge. University of Oregon students Oliver Alexander and Orion Falvey co-founded Orchid Health Collective, after attending a business conference in Portland.
Their organization is designed to help provide primary care in rural areas. Alexander and Falvey say, "Over the past year we've dedicated thousands of hours, of research, outreach in the community, interviews with professionals, going to places and talking with people and understanding how these clinics work."
Half of that money will come out of the county contingency fund and the other half, from the economic development fund.

Circles at Coordinates Construction
Name: Ted M. Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Two intersecting lines (L1, L2) are given. A point on each line is given (P1 on L1; P2 on L2). The points are NOT equidistant from the intersection of L1 and L2. How can you construct two circles (C1, C2) meeting the following criteria: 1. C1 tangent to L1 at P1.2. C2 tangent to L2 at P2.3. The circles shall have a common tangent at a third point, P3.
I do not know how to locate P3.
I think there must be many solutions, but I cannot figure out how to really get started. I have tried simplifying by making L1 and L2 the x and y axes, and I have tried thinking about it geometrically (creating triangles and sections of circles) and algebraically, but I cannot figure out how many unknowns I really have (ie how many equations I need to construct).
I think I have found a resource from which you can find the answers to your inquiry; however, because it involves geometric constructions, it would not be feasible or understandable to translate into text here. The reference is: CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics, edited by Eric W. Weisstein. Look up "Circle Tangents"
Vince Calder
Let us see...how do I give you enough of a start to get you going, without giving you enough to take all the fun out of the problem?
Draw a line perpendicular to L1 and intersecting L1 at the point P1. The center of circle C1 (let's just call this point C1) must be somewhere on this line if the circle is to be tangent to L1 at P1. The same sort of thing is true for C2.
The point P3 must be somewhere on the line that goes from the point C1 to the point C2, in order for both circles to have a common tangent at P3.
The distance from C1 to P1 must be the same as the distance from C1 to P3. Let us call this distance R1, because it is just the radius of the circle. Similarly, the distance from C2 to P2 must be the same as the distance from C2 to P3, and I will call this distance R2.
There are an infinite number of solutions: for each value of R1, there is a single value of R2 that satisfies the conditions.
Tim Mooney
You must think geometrically. To define a circle, you need a center and a radius. You already have the centers. To get the radii (R1,R2), you need the perpendicular distance from a point to a line. Find this for each point.
To have a common tangent point, the circles must touch at only one point. This is not always true. It may be true for the given points. Also, it can happen if only one point (P1) is given and you have to find P2 by yourself. In either case, the distance between P1 and P2 must be the sum of the two radii. If so, the common tangent occurs along the line between P1 and P2 such that P3 is R1 from P1 and R2 from P2. If the points are right, the problem can be done.

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
by Amie Valpone in Healthy Recipes, December 9, 2012Looking for new ways to spruce up potatoes at dinnertime? Here's a fun-to-eat baked sweet potato recipe to try. Stuffed with creamy filling made with freshly squeezed orange juice, Greek yogurt, brown sugar and pistachios these potatoes are sure to please any crowd. Don't forget to add mini marshmallows on top to get the kids excited to eat them.
Although many twice-baked sweet potatoes call for loads of sugar, I've created a festive dish that is naturally sweetened with fresh orange juice and flavored with cinnamon, pistachios and almond extract.
Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
14 large sweet potatoes
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
5 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup pistachios, chopped
¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
25 mini marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with tin foil. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork; place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until soft, approximately 1 hour. Remove from oven; set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
Cut each potato lengthwise ¾ of the way through. Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border on skins. Transfer flesh to a food processor; process until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, butter, brown sugar, almond extract, orange juice, cinnamon, sea salt and pepper.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Spoon mixture evenly amongst potato skins. Sprinkle with pistachios; arrange marshmallows on top. Bake on a baking sheet until marshmallows are golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
Remove from oven; set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve warm.

text: In 2004, our home was burglarized. At the time, we were informed by several juveniles in the neighborhood who said they overheard the accused (juvenile) bragging about it. Unfortunately, we were informed by the investigating officer that he was unable to follow up on this type of information. Last weekend, I read in the JG Felony Report that this former youth, now adult, was recently pegged for burglary. Do I have the ability to request that my previous, unsolved case be reviewed, given this recent, same-crime arrest of this suspect?

December 31, 2012As scheduled, the unlimited insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts provided under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act expired on December 31, 2012. Deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction account are now aggregated with any interest-bearing deposits the owner may hold in the same ownership category, and the combined total insured up to at least $250,000.
November 9, 2010 On November 9, 2010, the FDIC issued a Final Rule implementing section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that provides for unlimited insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The unlimited insurance coverage is available to all depositors, including consumers, businesses, and government entities. This unlimited insurance coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the insurance coverage provided to a depositor's other deposit accounts held at an FDIC-insured institution.
A noninterest-bearing transaction account is a deposit account where interest is neither accrued nor paid; depositors are permitted to make an unlimited number of transfers and withdrawals; and the bank does not reserve the right to require advance notice of an intended withdrawal.
Please note that Money Market Deposit Accounts (MMDAs) and Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW) accounts are not eligible for this unlimited insurance coverage, regardless of the interest rate, even if no interest is paid on the account.

July 21, 2010 On July 21, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law, which, in part, permanently raises the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount (SMDIA) to $250,000. The FDIC insurance coverage limit applies per depositor, per insured depository institution for each account ownership category. Consumers and bankers can find additional information regarding FDIC's deposit insurance coverage through the use of the FDIC's Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) and deposit insurance publications located on the FDIC's website "Are My Deposits Insured?" In addition, they can call the FDIC at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342).

No, not that Surly. This one. I now have an ideal situation where I can bike to work via nothing but bike trails, and it has totally been bliss. I have a bike locker at the office, a shower and a place to keep clothes. I've been riding my road bike to work, which has been great but it's a bit of overkill methinks. I have an 18 mile commute each way from Liz's place and I think it will be about the same when we all move to into my place in Stapleton. I will be going up the Sand Creek Greenway to the Platte River Trail to the Cherry Creek Trail. Yeah, there are shorter routes but where's the fun there - I have this itch to join in the Ride the Rockies trip with TW and want to get into shape. I figure that riding a single speed almost 40 miles when I commute and doing some climbs on the weekends will get me into SOME sort of decent shape before 2009, right?
Anyway, I went to Bike Source since it's on my way home and talked with Joe, the manager. He and Stephen spent a lot of time talking with me about single speeds and decking it out however I wanted. I want to throw some panniers on it because a laptop in a backpack sure gets f'ing heavy on the ride home. I also want to ride it rain or shine and fenders would help out there. They basically said I have one excellent choice - the Surly Cross-Check. It will accept gears or single speed, road tires or MTB tires, etc. It's the all-around winner for do it all frames from what I can tell. Joe tells me that the steel frame will ride a little better on my commutes and is a little cheaper than aluminum. That's fine with me since I'm not looking to duplicate the cost of my road bike. I just want something to ride every morning, be able to throw my laptop in and occasionally ride to the store to pick shit up. In other words, an actual COMMUTER bike. Don't get me wrong, I love my other bike but I get a bit freaked out about leaving it locked up outside. The Surly is totally not flashy and will hopefully not attract a lot of attention.
I'll post pics when Bike Source is done building it.

iPad Air fails torture test against soft dirt?
The screen on Apple's new tablet fails to survive what seems to be a pretty mellow drop, but that's only the beginning of this sadistic gauntlet of device deconstruction.
There's an art to the modern gadget torture test, particularly if you only have one brand new iPad Air on hand to attempt to destroy. You don't want to completely put the device out of its misery until you've had a chance to make it suffer a little bit and then finally end it in a grand finale that involves hot lava or a large vehicle of some sort.
Richard Ryan of RatedRR on YouTube had just such a plan to obliterate a new iPad Air with BBs and bullets, but found some of the drama of his torture test sucked away when the tablet's screen shattered upon being dropped from a height of only a few feet onto the loose-dirt ground.
The next round escalated the pain with a drop on pavement that warped the already spidered screen, and then a quick drop into water completely killed the iPad even before Ryan brought out his big guns... literally.
Nonetheless, it's worth watching the full video below to see some serious sharp-shooting skills completely take apart Apple's new slate.
Let us know in the comments what you think of this demonstration of the iPad Air's durability, or lack thereof.

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
The international peak body for central banks, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), has warned that historically low interest rates could trigger another financial crisis.
While the global economy has seen encouraging signs of growth over the past year, the BIS said in its annual report, that growth in advanced economies remains below pre-crisis averages.
The report said that a number of countries less affected by the crisis now "find themselves in the late stages of strong financial boom, making them vulnerable to a balance sheet recession and, in some cases, serious financial distress".
Jaime Caruana, general manager of the BIS, said that ultra-low interest rates are promoting debt accumulation and risk-taking behaviour.
Part of the problem, as the report highlights is that debt levels are still too high, with private debt, outside of the financial sector having risen 30 per cent since the crisis.
"As debt increases, the ability of borrowers to repay becomes progressively more sensitive to drops in income and to interest rate rises. Thus, higher debt translates into greater financial fragility and financial cycles that may become increasingly disruptive," said Caruana.
While monetary policy so far has been accommodating with low interest rates, the issue of when to start raising rates was brought centre stage in the report.
"Navigating the transition is likely to be complex and bumpy … and the risk of normalising too late and too gradually should not be underestimated," the report reads.
Given the recent upswing in the global economy, the BIS report says there is "a precious window of opportunity that should not be wasted" to start normalising monetary policy and bring interest rates back to normal levels.
6 May 2014 | Banks and other lenders have loosened strict lending guidelines and are once again approving risky loans such as no deposit home loans, 40-year loans and mortgages with a guarantee for first-home buyers.

Hey everyone,
just wondering if anyone would mind sharing how much they are paying to insure their mk2 ka?
I'm asking because last year my quote was around £500, i've just had the renewal letter through and now for some reason it's gone up to £621 (that's with virgin, fully comp and with 4 years no claims)
I was expecting the price to fall not rise, is this just simply the sign of the times ie. the cost of EVERYTHING has gone up or should I get on the phone to them and tell them they are having a laugh?
I usually don't stick to the same insurance company but after having a quick search the other day and finding prices pretty ridiculous I was hoping my current insurers renewal price would be cheaper . . .

Whether it be working towards the STEM/Nova Award, the rank of Eagle or the option to work towards multiple merit badges during one class through the Experiential Merit Badge program is appealing, Scouts will leave at the end of the week having made new friends and feeling accomplished.
Scouts are placed into a provisional troop with a Scoutmaster and two or three assistant Scoutmasters in the same way that troops are formed for Jamborees. Youth leadership is elected and patrols are formed on the first day, allowing the provisional troop to perform as a fully functional troop.
The troop can earn the standard patrol and troop awards, and the youth vote on a Silver Buckle recipient as well. The provisional camping program offers all the great experiences of traditional troop camping with the freedom of being an independently registered Scout. At the same time, it is strongly encouraged that multiple Scouts from the same unit attend.
Click here for a guide providing a list of this summer's merit badge offerings which can be used to pre-plan your schedule prior to registering online. The guide also provides additional information about the STEM/Nova Award and our Experiential Merit Badge program offered this summer at Camp John H. Ware, 3rd.
We can't wait to be your home-away-from-home for a week next summer!

During pregnancy the expectant mother would like to wish well for her unborn baby. She will do everything necessary to make sure that she delivers a healthy bouncing baby. This is the time when she will be tempted to do many things hoping that it will be for the benefit of her upcoming baby. Most of the things done during pregnancy are eating and drinking. A pregnant woman will eat anything that seems sweet in her mouth without realizing the repercussions the food can bring. It is of paramount importance therefore, for any pregnant woman to think twice before putting any food substance in her mouth if she really cares for her child. There are certain foods which are bad during the period of pregnancy and they should be avoided at all cost.
Why can't pregnant women eat seafood? Most of foods coming from the sea are normally fish. These fish are deemed to be unsafe for pregnant mothers due to health risks associated with them. Sea fish comes with high level of mercury chemical in them which is not safe even for the non-pregnant persons. Mercury in fish has the ability to severely affect the fetus permanently. According to experts from the medical fraternity, mercury in fish can affect the development of the fetus. The chemical substance normally attacks the brain of the child which can prolong even after his/her the birth. The condition has also been blamed to cause stunted growth on children below the age of six years.
Pregnant mothers are usually prohibited from eating such foods that can harm their babies. They are required to stay away from these foods during the entire breast feeding season. This is because when the mother is feeding on sea fish, the mercury mixes up with the milk from the breast which is then consumed by the infant. Doctors recommend that one should avoid seafood until she is done with the breastfeeding. Similarly the infant should not be fed with tons of fish before the age of at leased seven years. However they can still be allowed to consume fish with low level of mercury such as Salmon and Canned tuna.
On the soft side, there are many benefits that come with fish. They come with high level of protein and high unsaturated fat that contributes to a healthy living. Omega-3 is also very vital component in brain development of a child. A pregnant person can be allowed to take some of these fish but under strict doctors supervision.

WALTHAM. The sad saga of Brandeis University's Rose Art Museum, whose collection university trustees had voted to sell in 2009, ended today when the university announced the settlement of a lawsuit filed by museum supporters and the promise to keep the museum open without putting any of its art up for sale.
See also:
"The Rose remains open, and it has an important role to play in the life of Brandeis," Fred Lawrence, the university's president, told The Art Newspaper. "There are no plans to sell art." Further, he added, the lawsuit, brought by four Rose board members and donors to prohibit any sales in Suffolk Probate and Family Court in Boston, was terminated, and the Massachusetts Attorney General has closed the case. Lawrence declined to rule out another option that has been considered, however, that the Rose might raise money by "renting out" part of its collection. "We're exploring options, but I'm focused on the 50th anniversary of the Rose this year, with planning traveling exhibitions, and with bringing supporters back to the museum," he said. The Rose was threatened with closure in January 2009, when Brandeis's board of trustees voted to help alleviate the university's deep financial troubles by selling art from the Rose's collection, whose 7,000-plus works include seminal pieces by Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Morris Louis, Matthew Barney, Cindy Sherman, and Richard Serra, among others. It has been valued at more than $350 million. Making matters worse, the board's decision was sprung without warning on Michael Rush, then the Rose's director, and the museum's board — who fought the move publicly and vociferously. Within months, Rush's contract was not renewed and he has not been replaced. Besieged by criticism, Brandeis began to backtrack last year, a move that accelerated when former president Jehuda Reinharz, who backed the sale, was replaced by Lawrence. Last September, the university formed a search committee to hire a new director and earlier this year, it announced plans to renovate the museum this summer, and reopen for the golden anniversary in the fall. Without a definitive statement about the Rose's future from Brandeis, however, recruiting hasn't been easy. "Having the lawsuit settled will enhance the search," Lawrence added. Lawrence, a lawyer by training, noted that he was a graduate of Williams College, long a prominent educator of museum directors and curators, including Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, Earl A. Powell III, director of the National Gallery of Art, and Thomas Krens, former director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Though not an art major, Lawrence took two art history courses there, and said, "I saw how a museum can play a role in the life of a university there, not just for fine arts majors. I am excited about the role the Rose has played and can play in the life of Brandeis."

I had no problems with stinging like other reviewers have mentioned. This applies easily, absorbs quickly and is perfect under concealer. The only thing preventing me from repurchasing is the low spf and the jar packaging.
I was really disapointed with this product. It stung my skin and dried it out and made my fine lines worse. For all of the money I spent this product was not worth it.
I use this for one purpose. to make my eye concealer go on like butter - it really smoothes everything out and makes my concealer go on so beautifully, you cant even tell I am wearing it! I have fine lines around my eyes and i find that this helps keep my concealer out of them as well. I little goes a long way too!

Creme is ok, nothing to rave about. The texture glides on smooth, but it will make my lids oily and for the first time in my life I have to prime my eyelids for eyeshadow use. On the bright side, my eye area feels very moisturized with it. The packaging is very unhygenic and overall I feel I could expect better for the money.
I like this, especially because it has sun protection for around the eyes which can be prone to sun damage, but the texture isn't good for applying concealer over. If it were a little pinker it would hide the dark circles better, but it's just too white to wear by itself.
Ouch!! This really really stung my eyes and made them very irritated, which actually dries the skin out and causes more wrinkles, I think. I liked the SPF, but other than that there is nothing great about this cream and it is very overpriced. I'm less and less impressed with Clinique products.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this eye cream. Got rid of little bumps under my eye from a previous cheap eye cream I was using and brightens eyes so nicely, I feel less of a need to use concealer on my dark circles. Would definitely repurchase.
Stings like crazy if you get any in your eye. Left my undereye area greasy looking. Otherwise I didn't see much of an effect.
I threw away my jar and have no intention to ever repurchase.

Reviving the Tradition of Storytelling
Storytelling is an art that has been around for thousands of years. Cultures around the world have used storytelling as a means of entertainment, preservation and transmission of knowledge from one generation to the other. However today, in most Western cultures, this beautiful form of art has almost been lost. With the exception of many of the Native American tribes, the only stories that are now shared unfortunately are those that are read to children. Even then, not many remember those stories anymore, because we "have them" in our books that most often never leave our bookshelves after they are read once or twice. Read more

Our Campaign
The Chesapeake Bay and most of Maryland's rivers and streams are contaminated, which is bad for public health and damages our economy. In 2012, Maryland passed critical legislation to strengthen our cleanup efforts by upgrading technology at our wastewater treatment plants, curbing suburban sprawl, and requiring local governments to reduce polluted runoff from stormwater.
In the 2014 general Assembly session, our coalition was successful in defeating 20 bills that would have repealed or weakened Maryland's polluted runoff law! Read our "Sine Die" end-of-session statement here.

Simon Townshend Discusses 'Looking Out, Looking in' Solo Album + Touring With The Who
It's easy to say that guitarist Simon Townshend has spent his whole career making music in the shadows of his brother, Pete Townshend of the Who. Talking with Townshend though, it's clear that having a famous brother hasn't hindered him one iota with what he's sought to achieve through his own musical path of songwriting. Simon's output has taken influence naturally from watching what Pete was doing with the Who, but also, like any other developing creative spirit, he took influence from the music which was all around him.
