EA Launches Need For Speed Most Wanted U Today
Ready, set, floor it! EA and Criterion Games announced today that Need for Speed™ Most Wanted U, the Nintendo Wii U™ enhanced version of the critically acclaimed Need for Speed Most Wanted, is now available at North American retail stores. Whether gamers are playing with friends or family in the living room or competing against others in the connected open world through Autolog 2, Need for Speed Most Wanted U makes the race to become Most Wanted more fun, more social and more interactive than ever before.
Rob O'Farrell, Executive Producer, said, "At Criterion Games, we really took the time to learn and understand the Wii U. When creating Need for Speed Most Wanted U, we wanted to maximize the console's power to deliver an immediately fun and accessible racing experience. We are very proud of the end result."
Designed specifically for the Wii U, Need for Speed Most Wanted U delivers gameplay mechanics built for the unique features of the Wii U™ GamePad controller. The local co-op mode, called Co-Driver, allows one player to drive using the Wii Remote™ controller or Wii U Pro Controller while another player uses the Wii U GamePad to provide control and navigation assistance on an interactive real-time map. Using just their fingertips, the partner can distract pursuing cops, switch from night to day or activate enhanced performance for any car and even control the amount of traffic on the road. For another competitive edge, players can switch into their favorite cars, track milestones, uncover the city's hidden gems and more, all on the fly with the Wii U touch screen, ensuring nothing ever slows them down.
Need for Speed Most Wanted U brings the blockbuster action of the open world racer to players' fingertips. The entire game is playable off-screen using the Wii U GamePad, so gamers never have to put the game down.
Need for Speed Most Wanted U includes the Ultimate Speed Pack expansion, so players can take to the streets with five of the most absurdly fast cars ever made: McLaren's F1 LM, Lamborghini's minimalist artwork, the Aventador J, the track-focused Pagani Zonda R, Bugatti's reigning world speed champion, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and Hennessey's savage 275 mile-an-hour ragtop beast, the Venom GT Spyder. Finally with Need for Speed Most Wanted U, gamers are competing against the people they want to defeat most – their friends . With EA's innovative online technology Autolog 2, the game automatically tracks and compares best race times, high scores and more. These stats are broadcast throughout the open world, fueling friendly competition and rivalries. Need for Speed Most Wanted's online multiplayer also ups the ante for social competition. Gamers pick a car, meet up with their friends and are immersed in a non-stop playlist of action-packed events. Whether it's competing for the best starting position, the ultimate jump, or finishing first place, if there's something to do, there's someone to beat. Any Speed Points earned on Wii U will add to your existing total if you are playing the game on any of the other available platforms through CloudCompete. Need for Speed Most Wanted U is available now in North America for $59.99 and will be in stores March 21 in Europe for €69.99.

New Indian-Pakistani Movie
A Pakistani film about a boy who inadvertently strays into Indian territory will be the first ever to premiere simultaneously in both countries whose ties are often strained, the film's Pakistani producer said.
Ramchand Pakistani, inspired by a real-life incident, examines the emotional turmoil of an eight-year-old boy and his father after they cross into India and are jailed, while the mother in Pakistan is left waiting to see their fate.
The film's release in India and Pakistan on August 1 will be a rare event considering political rivalry has limited cultural interaction between the two nations.
"It is a very rare example of creative constructive collaboration between both countries," producer Javed Jabbar said at a press conference on Sunday, a day after the film was screened at the Osian's Cinefan film festival in New Delhi.
Jabbar, whose daughter Mehreen directed Ramchand Pakistani, said Pakistan allowed filming to take place close to sensitive border areas in southern Sindh province while India let the crew visit a jail in western Gujarat state to maintain "visual and narrative authenticity".
Indian actress Nandita Das, known for her roles in bold, unconventional productions, plays the mother in the film whose main characters are from Pakistan's minority Hindu community.
When Indian troops find the boy Ramchand and his father who comes looking for him, they suspect them of being spies.

Enzyme Absorption
Name: Michael Status: Educator Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: September 2004
Are enzymes present in foods we consume (like papain and bromelain found papaya and pineapple, respectively) absorbed in tact (that is, as whole active enzymes) by our digestive system? Background: There are many nutritional therapies and diets and nutritionists and doctors that place great importance on getting enzymes through our diet and that they support the immune system in fighting some diseases or illnesses. However, enzymes are generally pretty complex proteins and, as such, woul d
1) be denatured by heat and the acidic environment of the stomach and
2) be first broken down into smaller amino chains before being absorbed.
I agree. I suppose that the proteases mentioned could enhance digestion in the stomach before they themselves were digested.
Ron Baker, Ph.D.
Dear Michael,
You are correct that many enzymes should be degraded within the environment of the stomach and the intestines. However, a number of enzymes are resistant to this environment and could retain some catalytic activity. These enzymes could function in the digestive system and alter the chemical composition of the contents of the digestive system. It might be possible that some could be taken up by the circulatory system or by the cells lining the digestive system and be active within a cell. I am not aware of the current research in this specific area of whole protein uptake and so I do not know how common this possibility is.

We believe it's crucial for students to not just have a thorough knowledge of work flow and software, but also understand the VFX industry and pipeline where they will work. So during their course we invite established post production houses to coach them, this means they get direct feedback on their work from respected VFX supervisors.
After all, these are the people they would like to work for in the future, and this experience provides them valuable additional knowledge of how to produce an effective showreel. For this particular lucky VFX Production class, I'd arranged for them to show their work at Framestore, and asked one of the students to write about the experience. Andre Giordani volunteered; these are his words...
'Miles had arranged for us to meet with JP, Senior Technical Director at Framestore in Soho, on Tuesday 21st February. When we arrived at the company we were welcomed, and taken through to a cinema room by the Recruiter Anna Swift. JP then started off by showing us budding VFX artists a Framestore trailer, which included their visual effects contributions to films such as Harry Potter, Troy, Clash of the Titans and Sherlock Holmes.
This was awesome and illustrated just a fraction of the success the company has achieved so far. Miles had delivered our work to demonstrate on the big screen, and I had a chance to see the F/A-18 Super Hornet I'd modelled over the last six weeks. It was a great chance to receive some constructive criticism, and I will definitely work on my use of shadows! Everyone in our group introduced themselves, and the projects they are working on at Escape, then over the next hour JP gave all 11 of us valuable instructive feedback.
The course at Escape has been such an intense six weeks, I've learnt so much I haven't been able to stop to catch my breath, but visiting Framestore has helped me put everything in perspective. Everyone on the course wants to break into this industry, and ideally end up working somewhere prestigious like Framestore, so it was fun to be in a post-production house, also to learn how a Senior Technical Director like JP launched his career into the VFX industry. Hopefully, he will have us back! ;)'
So a big thank you to Anna Swift and JP for taking the time to coach our escapees, for as you have just read these industry experiences and invaluable in helping bridge the gap between studying and working. So If you're a budding VFX artist, and want to know more about our courses, get in touch and I'd be more than happy to offer my advice.

Ships Within 24 Hours Sellout Risk: Extremely High
The VonZipper Skitch Sunglasses are a great little pair of sunglasses that any discerning buyer would love to own. Its main focus, like most sunglasses, is blocking out the sun, a task which it succeeds in to great effect. It also looks fairly good, focusing more on presenting a mature look for the wearer than it is to look stylish or artful. Definitely a great value for anyone looking for a pair - and more worth it than wasting money on sunglasses that will just break after a week of use.

Easter was a blast, and now you have a fridge full of delicious leftover ham. What will you do with it all? Here are 10 amazing ideas to use it up.
1. Quiche – Those tender slices of ham are perfect for making a fabulous egg pie. Simply dice, mix and bake. I love the sound of a Ham, Pineapple and Cheddar Quiche. Mmm!
2. Frittata – A frittata is like a giant stuffed omelet and quiche rolled into one. You slice it like a pie and serve. Try making Herbed Ham Frittata today.
3. Ham Salad – This is a classic. You dice up the ham and make a fabulous salad that can go into sandwiches. But if you are looking for something a little different, use the salad as a topping in an appetizer like Ham Salad in Cucumber Cups. They look adorable and taste wonderful!
4. Pizza! – We always use leftover ham as a pizza topping, often with a little diced pineapple. It makes for a fast and easy dinner. How about some Spinach and Ham French Bread Pizza?
5. Soup – That leftover ham is prime for soup making. It brings a tremendous amount of flavor…and if you make it in a slow cooker, it's incredibly easy. Toss your leftover ham into Slow Cooker Golden Pea and Ham Soup.
6. Casserole – Any recipe that includes the direction to "cook until hot and bubbly" must be good, right? Casseroles are a great use for leftover ham. Try Creamy Ham and Potato Casserole for a fabulous, satisfying dinner.
7. Pasta Salad – The great thing about pasta salad is that you can make a big batch of it on the weekend and eat it all week. That totally simplifies your menu planning. How about some Ranch Ham and Pasta Salad for lunch this week?
8. Muffins – I know what you are thinking: how could ham possibly go into muffins? But it can! You just have to think savory instead of sweet. Try some in Ham and Cheese Muffins.
9. Pasta - My husband isn't a fan of cold pasta, but if it's hot, he loves it. Ham and Cheese Ziti sounds delish and is a natural way to showcase leftovers.
10. Sandwiches – Don't feel like dicing? Slices of leftover ham are terrific for turning into sandwiches, such as a Hearty Ham and Pear Panini.

Reading Specialist (17) Licensure Program
17 License Program Description (doc)
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this program is to prepare the candidate to become a reading specialist and supply the required "competencies" of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for certification as Reading Specialist. Teachers who have the 316 license may earn the Reading Specialist license (17) by taking graduate level courses in reading. A reading specialist works with school district staff and students in providing in-service training for content area teachers and testing for specific students. Graduate students who do not already have a master's degree usually complete their MST-Reading along with the 17 license requirements. The MST degree requires students to take CI 788, as well as the other required 17 courses, have a minimum of 30 graduate credits, and complete an exit option including an oral examination.
If you already have a Master's degree and want to receive your 17 license, please contact the Department of Education Studies to meet with a member of the literacy faculty since you will not be assigned an advisor as a special student.
Wisconsin DPI Rules for Certification
as a Reading Teacher
In order to be certified as a reading specialist you must:
- Be eligible to hold a Wisconsin reading teacher license.
- Have a master's degree with a major emphasis in reading or at least a 30 graduate semester credit program equivalent to the master's degree with a minimum of 15 graduate semester credits which include all of the following:
- Guiding and directing the kindergarten through grade 12 reading program.
- Field experience in kindergarten through grade 12 reading programs.
- Research related to reading.
- Supervision of instruction.
- Content area reading for the reading specialist. - Have a portfolio you create to demonstrate your competency approved by the literacy faculty.
UW-Eau Claire Courses for Certification
The additional coursework required for the 17 license and MST-Reading degree includes the following courses:
ES 788: Introduction to Educational Inquiry
ES 765: Reading Symposium (summer-one credit course includes attendance at symposium in Madison, WI)
ES 768: Reading Seminar (offered even year summers only) (take with CI 765 if possible)
ES 731: Supervision of Reading Instruction (offered even year falls only)
ES 741: Guiding and Directing the Reading Program (offered odd year springs only; 731 is a prerequisite)
ES 753: Facilitating Literacy Across the Curriculum (offered even years spring only) (may have been taken as part of the 316 license)
ES 726: Issues of Critical Literacy in Grades K-12 (offered odd year fall only) (may have been taken as part of the 316 license)
Recommended Sequence of Courses
If you are pursuing your master's degree, it is recommended that you take ES 788 as early in your program as possible.
While availability of courses in this program will have an impact on the sequence of courses you choose, ES 731 must be taken before ES 741.
Plan for Reading Specialist Certification
The certification plan must be filled out by the teacher and an advisor from the literacy program. Please contact the Education Studies office—(715) 836-2013—to be given an advisor if you are not applying for admission to the graduate program.
Procedures for Applying for Certification
After you have completed the required courses and approval of your portfolio, as well as have taught for three years, you need to fill out the License Application for Initial In-State Administration or Reading, and send it, related documentation, and the required fee to our Certification and Licensure office (151 Brewer Hall) for processing. The form can be found at http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/forms/pdf/f1602-ad.pdf
If your initial teaching certification is not from Wisconsin, please see the information from the WI DPI http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/tepdl/applications.html#1602-ad

A Sentinel collection for teens!
Can you remember a moment when a teen surprised you with an inspired thought or completely fresh perspective on life? Christ Jesus emphasized the importance of childlikeness when he said, "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:4). Referencing the value of childlikeness, Mary Baker Eddy wrote, "Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 323-324).
This collection can be printed out in part or in its entirety, and can be shared with teenagers, grandkids, Sunday School students, campers, neighbors, etc. In fact, we encourage you to share multiple copies. Now, you can find this same childlike spirit with a new collection of Sentinel articles and testimonies written by teens, today. JSH-Online now offers a free, downloadable, collection of teen pieces consisting of the last six months' worth of articles published on the teen pages (January-June 2013). It includes a special cover for teens, table of contents, as well as photos and illustrations. (The next six months' worth of teen articles will be available in the same type of collection at the end of the year.)

Victoria, BC | Quirky capital defies convention
PUBLISHED: 23 Aug 2012 00:46:04 | UPDATED: 31 Aug 2012 00:46:08PUBLISHED: 24 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 24 Aug 2012Fernwood's resident bubble blower. Photo: New York Times

Victoria, British Columbia, is a city whose former colonial ties to Britain are evident in the neo-Baroque government buildings and countless gardens that dot its landscape. But visitors who trade high tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel for a stroll around the city will find that it defies easy stereotypes. Exhibit A is Fernwood, a short walk from downtown, home to classic Victoria hallmarks like historic buildings as well as a pirate radio station, a vibrant music scene and local fixtures like a man known for his obsession with blowing bubbles. Since the neighbourhood began emerging from decades of blight in the mid-2000s, it has become the best place to explore the city's alternative culture.
Spring Ridge Commons
Corner of Chambers and Gladstone
Fernwood's community gardens and compost education centre are a testament to its commitment to locally sourced food. Add to the list Spring Ridge Commons, a public space managed by the non-profit Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group, where people are encouraged to cultivate edible and medicinal plants.
The Paint Box
1284 D1 Gladstone Ave.
"Fernwood has a funky, alternative, artsy vibe that is really conducive to being creative," says Emily Gray, owner of the Paint Box, an art school on Fernwood Square. Its pottery, painting and sewing classes focus on individuality and technique.
Cornerstone Cafe
1301 Gladstone Ave.
Cornerstone Cafe has a warm ambience that makes it a natural setting for visitors to relax and soak up music and art. The cafe, which is one of the retail outfits in a building rehabilitated by the neighbourhood resource group for use as affordable housing, is true to its mission – profits support affordable housing and childcare and a street party called FernFest.
Freedom Kilts
1919 Fernwood Road
Man seeking skirt? Fernwood's got you covered. Steve Ashton, a former yacht designer from the United States, has made a career of his passion for kilts, creating a new style – the Contemporary – designing the official tartan of the City of Victoria and running his store, Freedom Kilts. The shop, which ships to customers on every continent, offers machine-made and hand-stitched kilts in various styles and materials.
1307 Gladstone Ave.
This upmarket wine bar might seem out of step with the casual, quaint character of the neighbourhood, but it has nevertheless won over plenty of patrons from Fernwood and beyond. And it's easy to see why. The wine bar's outstanding small plates are made with local, organic ingredients. The roast acorn squash with capers, raisins and brown butter is a favourite.

Before we start out there are a variety of definitions we need to have to be distinct about. These relate to the form of human being essential to take care of the perform and knowledge what a project method is.
Task Manager
A project manager is the individual accountable for accomplishing the stated challenge objectives. Essential task management duties consist of generating distinct and attainable venture goals, creating the project needs, and controlling the triple constraint for jobs, which is cost, time, and scope.
A project supervisor is generally a consumer representative and has to decide and apply the specific wants of the shopper, based on expertise of the firm they are representing. The skill to adapt to the different internal methods of the contracting party, and to form near links with the nominated reps, is vital in guaranteeing that the essential troubles of cost, time, top quality and above all, customer satisfaction, can be recognized.
In result the Task Supervisor oversees the challenge but does not turn out to be involved in the physical doing of the get the job done.
Venture Conduite Office
The Task Conduite Workplace (PMO) in a enterprise or skilled enterprise is the division or group that defines and maintains the expectations of approach, normally connected to venture management, inside the business. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of tasks. The PMO is the resource of documentation, steering and metrics on the practice of challenge management and execution.
A excellent PMO will base challenge conduite ideas on acknowledged, industry typical methodologies this sort of as PMBOK or PRINCE2. Increasingly influential market certification plans this sort of as online investing stocks ISO9000 and the Malcolm Baldrige National High quality Award (MBNQA) as well as authorities regulatory requirements this kind of as Sarbanes-Oxley have propelled organizations to standardize processes. Organizations all-around the world are defining, borrowing and amassing finest procedures in course of action and venture administration and are progressively assigning the PMO to exert over-all have an effect on and evolution of thought to continual organizational enhancement.
Interim Manager
Interim conduite is the momentary provision of management assets and abilities. Interim administration can be noticed as the brief-expression assignment of a proven heavyweight interim government manager to take care of a time period of transition, crisis or alter in an business. In this circumstance, a everlasting role might be unneeded or not possible to locate on short detect. Moreover, there may be nobody internally who is suitable for, or available to take up, the placement in concern.
In result the Interim Supervisor physically does the get the job done and acts as each the designer and implementer.
Task Prepare
A venture plan, according to the Task Management Body of Know-how, is
"...a formal, accredited doc utilized to guidebook both equally project execution and challenge manage. The key makes use of of the challenge strategy are to doc setting up assumptions and conclusions, facilitate communication amongst stakeholders, and document authorized scope, expense, and schedule baselines. A challenge method could be summary or in depth."
PRINCE2 defines "...a statement of how and when a project's objectives are to be obtained, by displaying the major solutions, milestones, actions and resources necessary on the project."
At a minimum, a project program solutions fundamental inquiries about the task
Why? - What is the dilemma best online investing or value proposition addressed by the task? Why is it being sponsored?
What? - What is the get the job done that will be executed on the project? What are the major solutions/deliverables?
Who? - Who will be concerned and what will be their tasks inside of the project? How will they be organized?
When? - What is the venture timeline and when will notably meaningful points, referred to as milestones, be complete?
Task Routine
A specific program of important project phases, milestones, pursuits, projects and the means allotted to each activity. The most typical illustration of the venture schedule is in a Gantt Chart. A regular PM software is Microsoft Undertaking which can depict the venture as a Gantt chart.
The goal of this article is to fully grasp the diverse essential places of a offer chain project and what is involved in every.
The crucial areas are-
1. Deliverables
2. Timeframe vs. Expenditures
three. Sources
4. Management Structure
five. Obligations / Escalation Course of action
six. Documentation
seven. Work Streams
eight. Milestones
9. Dependencies
ten. Schedule
eleven. Dashboard
twelve. Visibility
1. Deliverables
The project deliverables have commonly been outlined by the business and could go over many aspects of the Offer Chain / Logistics operations. The deliverable can both be linked to the organization circumstance or can be redefined by the PM to clearly outline what is expected and by when.

The plan for the Centre takes inspiration from a motif etched on stones uncovered on the site at Mapungubwe Hill, a World Heritage site located at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers. Exhibition and learning spaces take the form of ten free-form vaults, the largest of which spans 14.5 metres, and a number of regular barrel vaults and domes which are arranged in a triangular layout linked together by ramped walkways. The vaulting method used relies on fast-setting gypsum mortar and earth tiles laid on edge. Low environmental impact is achieved through employing local labour and materials.

Posts Tagged cloneCrystal Storm Review+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPadWe've seen this game before, but now it's got an Arabian Nights motif that doesn't make a ton of sense. Read The Full Review » Clone Camera ReviewiPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadClone Camera's biggest and most note-worthy feature is the ability to merge multiple photos of the same background together to produce the illusion that an object was cloned. Read The Full Review » Dream Heights, the new freemium game from Zynga that looks an awful lot like Tiny Tower, has officially been launched on the US App Store. And, proving that gamers have long and vengeful memories, the title has promptly been slammed with a whole mess of One Star reviews. Choice morsels include "Blatant copy of Tiny Tower mechanics /w a Zynga art dept. skin. But I have to say, the way Zynga innovated with regards to being stingy with in app currency is nothing short of ground breaking," and "Wow, not a Tiny Tower ripoff. Not at all. Completely different in every way." As of right now the game has received 311 One Star ratings, but that number has been largely overwhelmed by the 1263 Five Star ratings it's also seen. Zynga has been accused of shady business practices in the past, but this time around the community seems to be taking particular offense. Part of the controversy stems from the fact that Zynga attempted to buy out Tiny Tower developer Nimblebit at one point, but was refused. Thus, many are taking the launch of Dream Heights as a slap in the face to the smaller company. Still, it seems the rage has all but abated, and it appears Zynga may weather the fury of the Internet and come away largely unscathed. The game is currently averaging a Four Star overall review score, and the average iOS social gamer is probably largely unaware of the controversy. We'll wait a bit and see if there's any long-term effects, but for now it seems that Zynga's future (and stock price) remains mostly unaffected. |

Learning is accompanied by modulation of postsynaptic signal transduction pathways in neurons. Although the neuronal protein kinase cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) has been implicated in cognitive disorders, its role in learning has been obscured by the perinatal lethality of constitutive knockout mice. Here we report that conditional knockout of Cdk5 in the adult mouse brain improved performance in spatial learning tasks and enhanced hippocampal long-term potentiation and NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents. Enhanced synaptic plasticity in Cdk5 knockout mice was attributed to reduced NR2B degradation, which caused elevations in total, surface and synaptic NR2B subunit levels and current through NR2B-containing NMDARs. Cdk5 facilitated the degradation of NR2B by directly interacting with both it and its protease, calpain. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism by which Cdk5 facilitates calpain-mediated proteolysis of NR2B and may control synaptic plasticity and learning.

Feild Trip Friday: Pearl River Mart, Soho
14 comments:
Oh my goodness, thanks for sharing the website link! I love Asian items and it's hard to find them for a good price online. ANd thanks for sharing all those pictures, I too love rice bowls and chopsticks (and 100 Yen stores). I blog too on my wee website, please stop by sometime :) www.CraftinessbyB.webs.com
ReplyDeleteI have been to that store and it is fabulous! Seeing your wonderful pictures makes me sorry I did not visit it during my last trip to NYC in December. I will be checking out their website!
Recently Pearl River Market was the featured shopping venue for HGTV's Next Design Star contest. They had to decorate a bedroom using only $500 worth of items from PRM.Another place to add to my list when I get to NYC next.
I got some cute childrens rice bowls in Epcot in Disneyworld of all places, they look very similar to the ones in your photo, they were too cute to resist.
I love your Field Trip friday's!! Keep posting them.
It was good to talk to you last week! It's so nice to get to know the people behind the "blog"....
My parents are now visiting me in Kentucky so I am insanely behind on my blog reading!!! Just wanted to stop in and say "hi"
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Assos T FI.13_S5 Bib Shorts $369.95
Reviews & Community
What do you think of the
Assos T FI.13_S5 Bib Shorts
? Share a...
Andreas Christodoulou
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The perfect bibs... the fit and comfort of these bibs is truly amazing. When Assos claims that they will 'click' into position when on the bike they aren't kidding. They feel a little tight and the straps feel too short when standing, but as soon as I get on the bike they disappear. Fantastic for warm and hot weather, the ventilated back panel is great. I've worn and washed my pair 50+ times and the still look and feel like new. Found them for a great price, but even at full price I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. I'm 6'-1", 195 lbs and wear an XLG.

sizing is critical
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
so I am slightly larger also - not quite like Mike in the comment below, but I have a 34 waist and a 42 chest - just kinda bulkier build. In Castelli I run a large, In Giordana I run an XL. So i was perplexed on size so i went XL. the first ride was great and they are a phenomenal bib, but they are just too bulky in the pad. I should have stuck with large since the pad is slightly larger (an asset not a flaw) and would probably be happier. 4 hours with a chamois that is too large can rub you the wrong way.
Mike Laemmrich
It's like having a But"t"ler
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
That's all I've heard for years.......Assos is #1 in everything, blah, blah. Too expensive.......Not at all. Best bibs I've ever bought. Unreal. First time I rode them I put on 65 miles and everything was perfect. They truly are perfect. Here was the only hard decision. I'm a bigger biker. 6'2" - 225#. Big legs, not fat but not a 6 pack either. If I went by the size guide (And I did) I should be in the XLG's. Sooo, I tried the XLG's and they were very tight. Once I got them on they felt pretty good. Tight but good. Due to the size the legs were almost like compression shorts. Felt good. I just didn't think it was perfect. Soooo, went to the "Sears Husky" size and bought the TIR. Fit much better but I gotta tell ya, I did like the tighter compression feel of the smaller one. Wish there was an Assos Rep standing next to me to say Ya or Na. Highly Recommend.

Can you tell me if the leg length is the same as the Mille Regular leg

Some of the best bib shorts ever
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These bib shorts are amazing. In fact, they are the best I have ever worn. Everything you read about Assos in the reviews is true. It fits amazingly on the bike, it works, its durable, and its expensive. The fabric is on another level. If you have a store near you that carries these items, take a moment to stop buy and simply inspect the quality of Assos' products. Then, buy these!

Welcome to Our Temporary Home Page. |
Order Online From DiscGolfCenter.com What Is a Towch®? A Towch® is a simple, but ingenious product. The basics are this: • It's a Pouch The smooth outside is printable and high strength cotton. The inside is a course, looped cotton fabric for textured, cleaning power. How Do You Use a Towch®? You put your disc in it and wipe the disc clean without having to get your hands dirty. You can even reverse the Towch® on your hand and pick up the disc like you were picking up dog-pooh with a plastic bag, never touching the wet, dirty or muddy disc with your hand. Simply pull the disc back inside the Towch® and rub it clean from the outside. A really wet disc can simply be left inside to dry until you need it again. |
In What Colors Can I Get a Towch®? Currently, Towches® are being produced in the following colors:
More colors will be added soon. We plan to help support a few pro disc golfers through our Team Towch® sponsorship program and they will each be having custom printed two-tone Towches® available. What is Team Towch®? Team Towch® is our sponsored players group. Only a select few touring pros, currently working to sign 7 members, will be a part of Team Towch® and will each receive custom Two-Toned Towches® to aid in their fund-raising efforts toward their PDGA tours. How Else Can I Use a Towch®? Towches® are a very diverse product, to be so simple in their concept and construction. Your Towch® can be your new:
How Much Are Towches®? Standard, one-color Towches® have an MSRP (suggested retail price) of $11.99 each. Two-Tone Towches® are limited edition and will only be available through Towch® sponsored events or as a Team Towch® product. They will retail for around $15 each. How Big Is a Towch®? Our disc golf Towch® is 12.75" tall by 10.5" wide. The ball-golf version (launching soon), is 7" x 7". How Do I Talk to Someone About Towches®? The best way is to message us through our Facebook page:
Or contact your local Towch Talker™:
How Is a Towch® Better Than a Towel? You can put your disc inside a Towch®. You can't do that with a typical golf towel, can you? You can use the Towch® as an add-on putter pocket. Try to get the average towel to hold onto your discs for you. When you've maxxed out your bag's storage capacity, just add a Towch® for extra space. You can wear a Towch® as a hat. No standard towel works like that, does it? Wet it in the heat of summer for a nice cool wrap. Keep it dry (and clean) for a nice set of warm ears in winter. You can wear your Towch® as a 3-disc casual-round bag. Play a fun-round of golf with friends and carry a putter, mid and driver right inside your Towch®. You can even wear it on your belt or belt loops using the TWO included carabiners. Your old-standard cleaning device is found lacking, huh? Where Can I Get a Towch®? Disc Golf Towches® and Utili-Towches®™ are available here: Order Online From DiscGolfCenter.com We've temporarily transitioned all retail sales to DGC (from May 22, 2014, and into mid-June). We will bring retail orders back in-house after this short time, but for now we are focusing on other aspects - including: Team Towch members, wholesale orders and custom Towches - just to name a few. Towches® will be available at your local disc golf shops and your favorite online retailers, as well. They'll also be available from a select number of touring pros and at Towch® sponsored events, as part of the event's player pack. Most players will enjoy our new "local availability program" called Towch Talkers™ which places Towches in the hands of your fellow players, club members and friends at your local course. These Talkers™ will be your local connection to the latest Towch news and latest Towch products. See our Towch Talkers™ Map to see if your area is available or if there is a local Talker already set to serve your Towch needs at your home course. We are just now signing up Towch Talkers, so if you're interested in locking in a 2,000 square mile area in which you can individually market Towches to your local disc golfers, read more here (50% profit & up):
Where Are Towches® Made? Towches® are made from 100% American cotton; grown in Texas, Georgia and/or North Carolina. The cotton is spun into thread in Sanford, NC. The thread is then knitted into our custom-made 22oz fabric in North Wilkesboro, NC. The completed fabric is then dyed and finished in Statesville, NC. After being ported back to North Wilkesboro, the fabric is then die-cut, sewn, hemmed, grommeted and carabineered into your complete Towch®. We take great pride in our American Made status. No, we can't produce them at Chinese/Walmart rates, but we can stand by our quality materials and workmanship. We love the Towch and the idea that it stands for... "An American Made Product For an American Made Game For Disc Golfers in America and Beyond to Enjoy!" |

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Veterans Conference offers help
Sunday, October 20, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — It can sometimes be tough for returning veterans to find a job, to get their finances in order, to adjust to civilian life at home.
"We want our veterans to know what services are available for them," said Brigadier General Carolyn Protzmann, the assistant adjutant general of the New Hampshire Air National Guard. "This helps make them aware of what's available." About 115 people attended the conference, which lasted about six hours and also included speeches and panel discussions and small dialogue sessions. But, at the end of the day, the whole goal was to make sure veterans know that there places for them to turn to for counseling, places for them to turn to for help when they are in need of it, said Jo Moncher, who's in charge of community based military programs at the state Department of Health and Human Services. "We're trying to help people return to New Hampshire," said Moncher, who served as the emcee at the conference, "and have a good life." |

Kurdish family claim length of son's sentence is unprecedented and fuelled by racism
Father on hunger strike to protest against court's decision to imprison 17-year-old for a decade for complicity in a fatal stabbing
Family claim that the Danish legal system is unbalanced and so impartial that it is racist (photo: Colourbox)
Last October, police arrived at Høje-Taastrup Station in response to reports of a fight. They found 19-year-old Ricko Træholt there, dead from stab wounds to the chest and neck.
Hikmet Sahbaz, 17, and Turgay Yacin, 20, were eventually taken into custody for their involvement in the fatal stabbing of Træholt, as well as the non-fatal stabbing of Træholt's 16-year-old friend.
Sahbaz admitted that he was involved in the fight and at the scene when the crime occurred, but maintains that he only hit Træholt with a blunt object and never stabbed him.
However, last week the boys were awarded double-digit sentences. Yacin got 14 years for manslaughter and Sahbaz ten years for complicity.
Sahbaz's family and members of the international community see his decade-long sentence as an example of Danish xenophobic attitudes and have criticised Denmark's legal system.
While Sahbaz was born and raised in Denmark, he is of Kurdish descent, and many think this may have played a role in his conviction and harsh sentencing.
Father on hunger strike
Sahbaz's father, Ali Riza Sahbaz, has taken it upon himself to openly protest against the ruling by going on a public hunger strike at Høje-Taastrup Station.
The sign he keeps beside him reads: "I do not trust the Danish legal system. My son has been singled out as a victim."
"The most important thing right now is my son," he told Rudaw. "Our son is a victim, like the boy Ricko Træholt who was killed."
Sahbaz's aunt, Meliha Kuscu, agrees.
"Hikmet has received punishment that Danish teenagers have not received in preceding cases," she told the Anadolu Agency.
"[He has] received a penalty despite not committing the murder; we see this as racist action."

Driving around last weekend, I see that the price of gas is on the rise again.
They say that the price of any product is subject to supply and demand, when there is little supply, the producers demand the maximum price and maximum profits. Nowhere is supply and demand pricing more evident that when it comes to energy costs.
Today, I noticed that one of the neighbours was putting out his annual Christmas display, a show of lights that will suck up as much energy as a small town, and for what reason other than to say, "Hey everybody, look at me!"
We're at the time of year when it is getting dark sooner; there is a greater demand for electricity resulting in an increase in the demand and an increase in the price.
Add the outrageous display of lights by the look at me crowd and prices are driven even higher.
As the weather cools, home heating systems also start to kick in and there are those that rely on electricity to heat their homes, often townhomes, often lower income.
With the further demand for electricity, prices are driven higher still, hitting those hardest that are least able to afford the increase.
So all you that want to put up your National Lampoon Christmas Vacation light show to celebrate the holidays, please be sure to enjoy your display while your less fortunate neighbours shiver in the dark.
And a Merry Christmas to all.

Deutschland sails through Docklands
German cruiseliner MS Deutschland returned to east London on Monday.
Back in 2011, the 174 metre-long ship sailed into West India Docks with inches to spare for a pre-Games trial. It returned a year later when it was used for Olympics hospitality.

Faronics Deep Freeze Standard review
Giving a child access to a computer can lead to some big headaches.
Aside from the obvious online safety concerns, it's a constant battle to keep the PC running smoothly with all the rogue downloads, altered settings and careless clicking within dialog boxes that goes on.
Windows 2000 and XP user accounts were meant to provide a solution to this problem. Unfortunately, many parents are unaware of this feature or find it unworkable. Many games, for instance, simply won't run without administrative privileges and we've even come across big-name applications that don't function properly under limited accounts. It's hardly surprising, then, that most users run as administrator. But this can lead to a multitude of problems that parents need to fix.
Deep Freeze is part of a range of security products from Canadian software developers Faronics that is designed to restore a predetermined Windows installation on startup, removing any previous tinkering or unauthorised software. The idea is that you set the PC up the way you want it and use Deep Freeze to lock its configuration. It doesn't matter whether programs are installed or settings get changed because the next time the computer is rebooted, Windows will revert to its initial state.
This program works well; we froze our test PC and installed a variety of programs, while uninstalling others. We also messed around with general settings, including creating and deleting user accounts. After a reboot, though, it was as if we hadn't touched the computer. Even documents that we created had vanished.
This last point in particular has obvious implications. However, during installation you are prompted to select the volumes you wish to be frozen. If you want a new file to survive reboot, it's essential that it resides on another volume or a mapped network drive, or it will be lost on restart. The complexities of networking or creating partitions and redirecting Windows special folders to a new location shouldn't be a problem for the technically aware, but may be an issue for some.
Deep Freeze can be suspended temporarily to enable changes or software to be installed. The computer must be restarted and Deep Freeze reactivated; it starts in its new frozen state at the next reboot. We experienced a slight increase in startup times. However, all attempts to trip it up failed.
It must be stressed that Deep Freeze does not actually prevent misuse and there is still considerable scope for the determined user to install software and generally cause mischief temporarily. However, with versions available for educational and network use, it's a simple way to keep a PC safe from unwanted changes. Just remember that you need to know exactly what you're doing in order to prevent files from getting lost.

MISSOURI LAW SCHOOL DECISION STANDS UNIVERSITY Of MISSOURI DECISION STANDS: COURT REJECTS PLEA HEROIC MAID SAVES LIVES Of SIX WHITE CHILDREN HEROIC MAID SAVES 6 NATIONAL YOUTH ANTI-WAR GROUPS MEET IN COLUMBUS By Norris C. Miles, Jr. From the rock-bound coast of New England to the sunny clime of California; from the mild and pleasant sun of Georgia to practically every point on the Canadian border; delegates and observes trekked through and just ahead of blizzards and intense cold to the National Youth Anti-War Congress which opened its session on Tuesday evening in the main auditorium of the Indianola Methodist Church in Columbus, Ohio. Each evening session featured a panel discussion and on the opening night, with Mary Polly Moss, of the Columbus Y. W. C. A. as chairman, the following speakers were heard: Morris Milgram, Workers Defense League, Jersey City, N. J.; Jack Kwafleck, Trade Unionist, Lexington, Ky.; Mary Moore, Agricultural Workers Organization, Denver, Col.; Dick Joyce, National Delegate, Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America; Joseph Klein, representative from the Religion and Labor Foundation of the Hebrew Union College; and Cecil Tarrance, N. A. A. C. P. Youth Council delegate from this city. Truly, one can see that this panel represented a cross section of American Youth. The panel was conducted in the nature of a questionaire wherein each speaker was plied with questions after he had concluded his remarks. Lively discussions followed the talks given by Milgram, Joyce, and Miss Moore. On Wednesday morning we were pleasantly surprised to find that the convention had taken on an international hue--P. S. Peng, Y. M. C. A. delegate from Hangkow, China, and Mary Felton, National officer of the Y. C. A. W. recently returned from Japan, gave first-hand information based upon their observations from working in the war torn areas in China where Peng was a stretcher [corps?] leader and behind the scenes in Japan where Miss Felton's parents were engaged in missionary work. From Hitler's Nazi-land came Johanna Braunschmidt, a Jewess refugee who still has the mark of fear from the mis treatments suffered at the hands of the Nazis. The Congress was not all sordidity, however, for there were some pleasantries. Interesting stories of the work of the Y. C. A. W., not to be confused with (Continued on page 4) PRESIDENT [Photo] H.

WHITE ATTACKS RACE GIRL, 13 POWELL RAPS NEGRO GROUPS HOLD FUNERAL SERVICES FOR WALTER MAZZIE Impressive Procession Headed By Col. McMeekin And Other Police Officials Funeral services were held for Walter Mazzie, colored patrolman, at the Central Christian Church, Sunday afternoon. Mazzie was killed in a pistol duel with Rupert Harris, early Thursday morning January 5, when the officer commanded him to halt as he chased Arthur Johnson with his pistol following an altercation. Both the officer and Harris died shortly after the duel on Tenth between Walnut and Madison. The services at the church last Sunday afternoon followed the impressive procession from the Mazzie home, 2833 West Madison Street, led by patrolman Otha Brown and Taylor Redd on motor cycles and headed by Col. Sam McMeekin, Director of Safety, with Col. John M. Malley, Chief of Police, Major Joseph Stewart, Chief of Detectives, Judge John Brachey, and Detectives James A. Murphy, John Hayden, John [Walker?], Wilson Edwards, following [his?] honorary pall bearers, in [Louisville?] Police Department cars. The church auditorium was taxed to capacity when the funeral cortege [arrived?]. The services which were quite [solemn?] were conducted by Rev. T. R. Everett, pastor, who delivered the eulogy. Col. McMeekin referred to Mazzie as a fine,brave officer. The many floral designs testified to the esteem in which he was held. The active pall bearers were uniformed policemen, Wm. Porter, Wm. Downs, Chester Johnson, George Harris, James Sheppard and Page Hemphill. As stated last week Mazzie is survived by his wife, four children, one brother, one sister and other relatives. With the Cooper Funeral Home as undertakers his remains were laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery. GEORGIA SHERIFFS THWART LYCHING; HAILED BY ELEAZER RACE POLICE A GREAT HELP IN OWENSBORO By Miss Emma Edwards Since the appointment of race police to the Owensboro police department, residents in districts where lawlessness runs riot, have been able to see some peace. This is complimentary to the cops and a credit to Owensboro. It is a step forward. If you persist in being a law breaker, thank God that a black man can and will arrest you. Feel proud about something. Do not be so shallow and narrow that you cannot see some good even if it is out of the good, you are made uncomfortable. After all they are our cops. Let us appreciate these so much that more may be appointed. I'm not chastising you though if it were not for you, we wouldn't need any Negro cops. Think law-breakers.

JACKSON EXTOLS RACE BUSINESS SITS WITH WHITES, JAILED A.M.E.'s in CUBA MAMMOTH HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING DECLARES DIVIDENDS FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR President Hall Commended; Re-elected With Porter And Street To Board Of Directors By W. H. Ferris The Stockholders of the Mammoth Life and Accident Insurance Company met Tuesday afternoon January 10 in the Home office of the Company, 608 West Walnut Street. The report of H. D. Street, the secretary-treasurer, showing that during the year 1939, nearly $135,000.00 was paid in claims, a 3 per cent dividend declared to the stockholders, $49,700.87, deposited in nine banks and that $59,000.00 worth of gilt edge securities was bought during the year enthused the stockholders, many of whom came from other cities. J. Rice Porter, of Lexington, Ky., vice president opened the meeting. T. H. Mason led the song "Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Saviour." Dr. L. G. Jordan of Nashville, Tenn, offered prayer. The secretary Mr. Street read the call of the Stockholders meeting. Mr. Porter stated that this was the 23rd anniversary of the company and the 14th anniversary of the stock company. He appointed W. C. Buford, Stephen Bell and J. W. Locust on a proxy committee to see if they had enough stock to open the meeting. W. C. Buford, Sales promoter, stated that there was pas present in person, and by proxy 11,480 shares and that 10,001 shares constituted a majority. Mr. Street read the report of the 1937 meeting, which was unanimously adopted. J. E. Hankins, the auditor, read the record of all the meetings of the Board of Directors for 1938. He stated that at the Directors Meeting January 9, 1939, it was voted to declare dividends of 3 per cent on capital stock or 30c a share. It was voted to accept Mr. Hankins' report. The Secretary Mr. Street, then read a statement of income and expenditures for the year [ending Dec. 31, 1938.?] In addition to what has already been referred to, he [showed?] that whereas $62,888.81 was [invested?] in bonds in 1937, [$103,140.19?] had been invested in bonds in 1938, that whereas $30,790.00 was invested in stock in 1937, $50,290.00 had been invested in stock in 1938 and that whereas the total investments in Real Estate, Bonds, Mortgage Loans, Collateral Loans and Unsecured Loans was $496,253.75 in 1937, it was $551,4911.42 in 1938. Mr. Street then read the Treasurers' report. Both reports were approved. Owing to the fact that H. E. Hall, the presidene, who was present, had not fully recovered from his illness, Mr. Hankins, the auditor read the president's report. The report stated "We have profited by what we learned in the dark days of the depression. Mrs. Jennie Cruse of Lexington, Ky., wrote more accident insurance during National Insurance Week than any other agent. We look to the future with confidence." Mr. Porter called upon Mr. Hall to supplement the report with a five minute address. In an address which was brief but enlightening, Mr. Hall said "While we are paying dividends this year, if the social security and other taxes continue to increase and if we should suspend the paying of dividends next year, do not get discouraged. It will not be because our business has declined. But we hope that this condition will not come to pass. We have distributed over $49,000.00 in cash of our money in nine different banks for security. The deposit in each bank is insured (Continued on page 4) NEW ORLEANS "DEVIL MAN" HAS SON WITH HORnS, REPORT LIEBOWITZ STRICKEN MAMMOTH HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING
