Joker Machine Motorcycle Ignition Switch Relocation Bracket for Triumph Twins
Jerry Smith
July 8, 2014
I love my 2012 Bonneville, don't get me wrong. It's just that some things about it drive me crazy, like the absence of a toolkit or a place to put one, the bolt-on seat that requires a hex key to remove, and the ignition switch's location in the left headlight bracket. That last irritation became... Read more »
Macna Oasis Motorcycle Jacket Review
Arden Kysely
July 7, 2014
A jacket can make or break a ride, especially a long one. Comfort, weatherproofing, cooling and body protection all come into play as the miles roll on. Months of testing the Macna Oasis jacket, which included riding with Patrick Kant, owner of the Dutch company that makes Macna clothing, gave me an... Read more »

Joe Michaud
June 30, 2014
If you favor an open-face helmet but still want a lid that can do double-duty as a full-face when needed, this helmet can be your best friend. The polycarbonate N44 is an upgrade to the popular mid-priced N43. Features include a vastly larger view port, a removable chinbar, improved ventilation, a Pinlock... Read more »
2014 Modular Helmets Buyers Guide
Bill Stermer
June 10, 2014
More and more riders appreciate the benefits of full-face helmets, not just for the comprehensive crash protection they provide, but also for the additional wind and weather protection afforded by the fully encircling shell and face shield. But wearing a regular full-face lid has its disadvantages. If... Read more »
Nolan N86 Motorcycle Helmet Review
Greg Drevenstedt
June 6, 2014
Our last full-face helmet buyers guide (Rider, July 2013) featured 18 helmets, including the Nolan N85. At $249.95-$299.95 and 3 pounds, 7.9 ounces, it was midpack in terms of price and weight, praised for its comfort, its easy-to-deploy and effective sunshield, and its user-friendly Microlock quick-release...

Rev'It Sand 2 Motorcycle Suit Review
Ken Aiken
June 5, 2014
If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. While somewhat of an exaggeration, riding in the Northeast does require being prepared for rapid weather and temperature changes. Since it's awkward packing several jackets and pants for each trip, I've been on a quest to discover the ultimate riding... Read more »
Rox Pivoting Risers Review
Arden Kysely
June 4, 2014
Bar risers are just as handy for the custom or cruiser rider wanting to tailor a motorcycle's fit as they are for dual-sporters and adventure riders looking to be comfortable while standing up. Standard risers work great if all you need is a higher hand perch, but they don't let you adjust the fore/aft... Read more »
Harley-Davidson Beginnings Leather Jacket Review
Mark Tuttle
May 29, 2014
Sometimes I wish I still had the first leather jacket I received at Rider. As I recall, I gave it away because it lacked vents and armor, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere all beat-up and still keeping a fellow rider warm—leather just never wears out. These days I tend to favor textile apparel... Read more »
Heidenau K60 Scout Motorcycle Tires Review
Arden Kysely
May 7, 2014
Choosing a tire for a multi-surface tour isn't always easy. You want a tread that's aggressive enough to grip anything you might encounter, yet wears well enough to last the ride. Do you choose one of the street-oriented dually skins and hope for minimal sand and mud along the track? Or do you spoon... Read more »
Aerostich High Tech Cot Review
Clement Salvadori
May 6, 2014
Sleep is important, especially when traveling, and gone are those days when I could dig a shallow hip-hole, roll up in a five-dollar Navajo blanket and have a pleasant night. Nowadays, I prefer a good mattress on top of box springs—but those are a bit difficult to bungee to the back of a bike. In recent... Read more »

for Lisa
I am swamped in beauty
thick with it, deep in delight.
There is no self, only sense.
Each grass blade
sings with colour,
each floating cloud-wisp
endlessly, easily changes shape.
Sky and earth around me
cradle me. The sun is my mother.
As I slowly separate,
experiencing ends of fingers
containment of skin,
the looker and listener
inside my eyes and ears
wants. Hungers.
Beauty is all.
Let it flow through me,
let me be it, be that,
be all expressions of that.
Let me shake with music,
radiate light,
let my exquisite perfume
cause you to faint with pleasure,
let my touch be that you return to
over and over, and my taste
titillate your tongue forever.
Finding I cannot sing sweet,
and face and form only average fair,
how can I gift my world
with the beauty I long to express?
How can I channel it through me
at one with the beautiful
earth, sky, universe?
Words are my answer
words are my dream
words are my burst of light.
World, I give you back yourself
in words, in love, in myself, in beauty.

The Waterville Jewish Leadership Initiative empowers 2-3 students each year to invigorate and enrich Jewish life in Waterville. Students work with Rabbi Isaacs and Beth Israel Congregation Education Director, Melanie Weiss, as Hebrew School teachers and social entrepreneurs in Waterville. Students are paid for working on all of the following projects:
1) Teaching Hebrew school with the Beth Israel Congregation (BIC) staff.
2) Curriculum development with the BIC staff that endeavors to make Hebrew school more engaging, substantive, and fun.
3) Participating in advanced Jewish learning with Rabbi Isaacs for 3 1-hour workshops a semester.
4) The creation and execution of one Jewish program for the greater Waterville community, that brings new depth and creativity to the local Jewish life.
5) Outreach to new students.
The 2013-2014 Waterville Jewish Leadership Initiative Fellows
Laura Rosenthal
Throughout my high school years and time at Colby, I've been involved with the Jewish community. I served as a regional board member for the North American Federation of Temple Youth Northeast region, where I found a passion for learning about Judaism with my peers through leading and writing educational and cultural programs. In college, I've worked enjoyed learning Modern Hebrew with Rabbi Isaacs, as well as studying Jewish texts at events such as Thai and Torah. I'm excited to continue my growth and learning as a member of the Jewish community with my involvement in the Waterville Jewish Leadership Initiative!
Cara Goldfarb
My name is Cara Goldfarb and I am sophomore from Chappaqua, NY majoring in Environmental Policy. This is my second year as a Waterville Jewish Leadership Initiative fellow and I am thrilled to be tutoring B'nai Mitzvah students and helping to teach Hebrew school. One of the most important lessons that Reform Judaism has taught me is to value and foster a strong community. With this in mind, I look forward to continuing to develop a deep connection with the members of the Beth Israel Congregation and the Colby Hillel.
Sarah Rockford
Hi, my name is Sarah Rockford. I am a senior at Colby studying French and Global Studies. I grew up in Denver, Colorado and was raised in a Conservative Jewish household. A long ways from my Jewish roots in Denver, Colby Hillel has encouraged me to continue to engage with my Jewish heritage by connecting me with a supportive community of students, teachers and a place in the Beth Israel congregation. I am looking forward to working as the student ambassador with the Beth Israel congregation because I want to give back to the people who have so warmly welcomed me into their synagogue. I believe that student membership with Beth Israel is an invaluable learning experience for students as we look forward and think about our role in the community as Jewish adults and college graduates. Under the leadership of Rabbi Isaacs, Colby Hillel and the Beth Israel congregation, is an important connection between the college and the Waterville community, a connection I look forward to fostering this coming year.

hi all
easy techniques for beading newbies like me - effective - and highly addictive:
@beadorigami: yes - as soon as I am a more grown-up beader I will go to your Etsy store and get myself a copy of your "Disco beads" tutorial! I love them - but I don't dare to try so far...
merry christmas to all from Switzerland!

Ooo how pretty! These look like little candies; I could just eat them all up! I like how you used so many different color combinations, and how you incorporated crystals into the top row too.
Thanks for your kind words about my Disco Ball beaded beads . They're definitely an advanced design, so I understand if you don't want to try them right away. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Merry Christmas too!

The style reminds me of the 'spinning top' beads at Beadinfinitum.com ?
The colors are gorgeous!
beadsbeadingbeaded: The style reminds me of the 'spinning top' beads at Beadinfinitum.com ?
yes, the beads on the upper picture are made with the same fringe system like the "spinning top" beads (great inspiration and instructions). by the way: I saw a similar design on the front page of a German beading Magazine. as I didn't look inside I don't know how those ones were made.
as I like larger (and glittery) beads I put wood beads of 12 mm diameter and polaris beads of 14 mm diameter inside, made more fringes and used crystals for the middle row in my "second try". the other ones are simply netted with core and one is a "torus (ring) bead" after a tutorial I found at rightangleweave.com - I need to practise right angle weave so that one fine day I can face the "Disco Ball" ! I have also tried to use Peyote to cover core beads, but as far as now it is not my liking...
@all: THANK you for encouraging!
How very lovely - this looks like something I definitely will have to try. Thank yo for sharing.
Please see my projects at Stoneheart Beads
Those are fun-simple technique with great results!

Aww... Thanks Cindy! You're so sweet!
Cindy Daniel also has a couple of beaded bead tutorials in her Etsy shop. Her beaded beads are so neat and unique too; they're not like anything else I've ever seen!
What fun! I love the picture of them all piled up, like a little jewel box. I think you're beaded beads are lovely.
These are so cool! I want to do them now, but I should practice a little soldering before an advanced class I'm taking the 23rd. Too much fun stuff out there, too little time!
A messy desk is indicative of a creative mind.

US manufacturing growth slows in Jan as new orders plunge
Published on Feb 3, 2014 11:40 PM
NEW YORK (Reuters) - United States manufacturing grew less briskly in January after hitting an 11-month high the prior month as output and overseas demand slowed, an industry report showed on Thursday.
Financial data firm Markit said its final US Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index fell to 53.7 in January, matching an advance reading earlier in the month. The index hit an 11-month high of 55.0 in December. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
Output fell to 53.5, a four-month low, from 57.5. Some companies attributed the slower pace of growth to the extremely cold weather in large swaths of the country.
New export orders meanwhile declined for the first time since October.

I have what I believe is a Colt Junior 25 Automatic. It does not include the box and only one clip.. I'm no expert but probably 90%. SN is OD 1044xx. Manufactured in 1972 or 1973 I believe in Spain Astra?. I had thought about selling it and had an offer from one of the guy at my local gun shop. He said $150 at the most. I think I see these on the WEB gun auction sites for a bit more. Am I missing something?

It is a colt junior. Your manufacture date is wrong. Real question is does it have a rebounding firing pin? It's worth about $300 so the ffl's offer wasn't far off leaving room for profit.
I don't need No stinking signature.
A friend just bought one for $200 w/2 box shells. So the $150 offer is about right. I've heard these newer ones were actually made by Colt but I have never bothered to look it up to see if thats true.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
They were discontinued in 1968 and recalled in 1980.
pawoodsman it looks like yours was made in 1973(last year of production). In 1968 they could no longer import these pistols so started to manufacture them here(I think).
Then it wasn't made by astra.
How do you remove the firing pin on a Colt 25 Junior Sent from my DROID RAZR using Firearms Talk mobile app
ToddJ - May I suggest that you open a new thread. This one was last answered in 2012 and could be called a zombie thread. Now to try and answer your question. The firing pin does not normally come out. The diagram makes it look like P/N 3 does double duty of extractor and firing pin holder. I would not advise you to work on it if you have limited experience.http://www.coltparts.com/pt_junior.html
Amendment II: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Life Member NRA Life Member NAHC Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
Dan- close, not quite. Remove bbl, remove slide. Remove extractor pin, allowing you to remove extractor and extractor spring. Under the spring is firing pin retaining pin. part 6 in illustration HERE: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Colt-33188/AutoPistols-35748/Junior-34902.htm That will allow removal of firing pin and FP spring. Would NOT remove unless replacing. If it needs cleaning flush the FP channel with spray cleaner, lube lightly.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

For sure, im wondering that Nurari is the Endboss of this mission.
He was the Picture in Gantz' briefing..
So, there were no bosses who has appeared in the mission briefing..(and thats in all mission that happend..)
For sure, im wondering that Nurari is the Endboss of this mission.
He was the Picture in Gantz' briefing..
So, there were no bosses who has appeared in the mission briefing..(and thats in all mission that happend..)
^ Well, you're quite in the wrong there, my friend.
The briefing picture for the Oni mission was the Oni boss. The pictures for the Ring and Chibi aliens also corresponded to the enemies, since those aliens had no boss.
That enough for ya?
Nuri is a 100 pointer. Any more than that and there'd be no Gantz.
Please, no wacky thinking, it's long enough as it is.
Oh...i forgot that missions...youre right
Thanks dude...
On topic: Oka's attitude is actually somewhat funny "You guys take care of it now, I'm outta here" and goes away walking just like that. Katou and the others: "WTF? Come back!"
I guess that goes to show us that that idea of 100 pointers being very different in skill is true, or that 100 pts is the maximum allowed for an alien. I mean, damn... the guy had 7 victories on his back, a friggin hadouken add-on and a weird helmet, and he still lost. Gee...
On a side note, Oka looks somewhat like George, huh? Phyisically, I mean.
HoiHoi can eat those flying caramels. Just one thing, I never noticed the suits oozing out, so I guess they are still in working order, If not, only cherry stands a chance.
About oka runing away, maybe he tought the mission was too hard, considering he already used all his weapons and is down to the regular suit, and decided to wait until the time runs out, is not like losing 30 points would matter to him.
Although the spoiler images didn't have the suits oozing out, I think the next pages have it.
It said so in the script. And Takeshi is probably wounded, another scene not shown in the spoiler images so far.
However, it seems Kaze's suit is fine, only Reika, Cherry and Katou have were affected.
And there's no more timer, remember?
I hope the script is out soon.
But till then... any ideas on how to take multi-ball friendly Nuri?
^ I just guess that's Nuri's last and true alien form (like thousand arms last version showed the true alien).
I don't think Oka went away, cuz' he can't fight Nuri anymore. Maybe he's picking up some of his equipment. Wouldn't make sense to not kill Nuri, so guess he let Nuri play with the Tokyos until he's figured out what to do. Oka prolly knows a lot about Gantz and the game, since he made it seven times...
This is just begging for a lame balls pun. Maybe this was Nuri's last-ditch attack and all the Gantzers have to do now is step on all the balls. All this stretching out of the story and we'd still have to put up with an issue of wordless ball-stomping.
Oka probably went to find and reclaim his lost stuff I know I'd rather see the Tokyo team destoyed than lose all the cool stuff accumulated from passing seven times.
^ You gotta give Oku some credit though.
Who would ever though the biggest baddest alien so far would turn into some killer multi balls?
Like thousand arms before him, Nuri thousand balls. And what was that at the memory thread? "Thousand Nipples"? Well, almost.
Is there any proof on this mission having no timer, or is that just speculation based on the previous tokyo mission having no timer ?

(KMOV.com) – In March, an expert told News 4 that the St. Louis area could see a rise in violent crime during the summer.
James Clark of Better Family Life told News 4 he was fearful about what might take place during the summer.
"We are dealing with an active group where violence is part of their culture," Clark said.
Clark also said he was fearful that the rise in violent crimes being shared online could fuel the fire and youth violence would rise to same levels that it was at in the summer of 1993.
"I advise parents to take their children off of social media during the spring and summer. A lot of violence is hatched on Social Media," Clark said.

Nute's Ella Gourlay (12) celebrates a point with teammate Mariah Burke during Wednesday's Division III semifinal match against Inter-Lakes in Plymouth. Nute won, 3-0. (Whaley/Democrat photo)
PLYMOUTH — Kristin Wilson was beaming. Her team and some followers were singing "Happy Birthday" after the Nute High School volleyball team delivered coach Wilson with a 25th birthday present at the Division III semifinals at Plymouth State University.The No. 1 and unbeaten Rams (19-0) stayed that way with a gift-wrapped 3-0 win over No. 5 Inter-Lakes to advance to the D-III championship Friday night (7) against No. 3 Winnisquam — the last team to beat the Rams in the 2012 final. The Bears (17-2) — both losses to Inter-Lakes — similarly dispatched No. 2 Sunapee in the earlier semifinal. Nute's game scores were 25-17, 25-19, 25-18."We pretty much wanted to do it for her," said Nute senior outside Ella Gourlay. "She's our coach and she definitely deserved a win tonight."The Rams kept Inter-Lakes (15-4) at arms length all night with solid defense, a balanced offense and some spirited net play from senior middle Heidi Cloutier, who had six blocks.Cloutier did not stop Lakers' 6-foot middle Jordan Donohue (match-high 15 kills), but she did slow her down.
Whaley/Democrat photo Nute's Alisha Flanagan (11) hits the ball past the block of Inter-Lakes' Jessica Schofield during the Division III semifinals Wednesday in Plymouth.
"Defense was really key, because we've been struggling with that a lot this year," said Alisha Flanagan. "This time it kind of clicked."Inter-Lakes went up 10-5 in the second set on the strength of five kills from Donohue.Nute called time and came out and went on a 20-9 surge to go up 2-0.Mariah Burke got the run going with five straight service points. Alisha Flanagan chipped in with four kills.In the third set, Nute went up 11-4, getting four kills combined from the Flanagan sisters.The Lakers, behind five kills from Schofield, tied it up at 13-all, but could not get over the hump.An I-L service error gave Nute the lead, for good at 14-13. Alisha Flanagan then served for four straight points to pump the lead up to 18-13.Form there it was just a case of playing the set out as Nute was quite willing, at that point, to trade points. Back-to-back kills by Gourlay and Cloutier made it 21-14, and an ace by Nikki Flanagan widened the gap to 22-14. There was another Gourlay kill, a big block by Cloutier on Donohue that brought the set to match point.
The Rams clinched on a Lakers' hitting error."I was disappointed we couldn't develop a good rhythm," said Inter-Lakes coach Randy Mattson. "Nute played great tonight — clearly. I thought we did great on defense. We held them at bay at times. But we couldn't seem to develop our offense."Friday's championship will be Nute's seventh trip in the last nine years. Winnisquam, meanwhile, has won two of the last three titles.

She was compelled to have words with one of her son's collaborators. "I told Rick Ross: 'First of all, I don't know you that well. But just keep it nice.' He said, 'I will, Mom; I will, Mom. We got love for Ace; we got love for Ace.' He's got such a deep voice. They've all been extremely good to Antoine, they really have. They love him like a brother."
But, she says, "I told Antoine: 'Just because Rick Ross uses the language that he does, doesn't mean that it's okay for you to use it, or that I'll accept it.' I mean, Rick Ross is all curse. Thank God they play the clean one on the radio station."
Kicking It
WMC spinners take time out for soccer.
Winter Music Conference events are supposed to take place in clubs. But not this one. It happened at an indoor soccer field nestled in a shabby strip of warehouses in Miami's Fashion District.
Last Thursday at 6 p.m., a couple dozen DJs made their way to Midtown Indoor Soccer on NW 24th Street. The owner, a Frenchman named Michael Athea — a.k.a. DJ OM — had organized a soccer match between European and Iranian DJs. The Europeans — among them international beatmasters Sander Kleinenberg, Cedric Gervais, and Nic Fanciulli — tossed on blue shirts. The Iranians, comprising Sharam Tayebi of Deep Dish, DJ Behrouz, and others, donned white tees.
As the new CD from Club Space (mixed by Gervais) pulsed over the stadium's sound system, the competitors took to the artificial turf and played with surprising speed and force.
A minute and a half into the game, the Iranian team scored the first goal. These guys clearly had spent some time with a soccer ball; indeed most said they had been avid players as boys. Ten minutes into the match, Iran had a commanding 4-2 lead, until the teams tied at the 20-minute mark. By halftime — 30 minutes in — Europe pulled ahead 11-5.
The European team ended up winning 24-15, but it was an impressive showing for DJs on both sides of the arena — especially for a bunch of nocturnal types who spend most of their time in dark clubs.
Physical exertion during WMC wasn't the easiest thing, admitted Fanciulli: "Especially when you've been out drinking the night before."
The Changing Tide
Patrick Williams, the language arts teacher accused of harassing his boss ("Good Teacher, Bad Principal," November 8, 2007), has been exonerated, but he'll remain exiled.
This past October 19, Williams was removed from his teaching position at William H. Turner Technical Arts High School after Principal Valmarie Rhoden filed an administrative complaint against him, claiming the multilingual Jamaican was harassing her and creating a physically threatening environment at the school. The Miami-Dade School Board's Civilian Investigative Unit, which looked into Rhoden's claims, cleared Williams this past March 17.
"All along, her accusations were false and damaging," Williams says. "My students lost out on a good teacher."
Williams says Rhoden — who earns a six-figure salary and recently purchased a new Mercedes-Benz S500 — falsely accused him because he publicly questioned her about Turner's share of a $5-million grant set aside to help ninth- and tenth-graders pass the FCAT. Before his removal from the vocational high school, Williams had discovered the grant monies were in the red. According to a recent state audit of the Miami-Dade School Board, the school district wasted the funds.
The victory is bittersweet for Williams, because he won't be returning to Turner, where he taught AP Spanish for two years. The school district transferred him to Westland Hialeah Senior High School. "I don't feel vindicated," Williams says. "I've been put through hell and she has yet to be reprimanded." Francisco Alvarado

Summer means baseball. National League, never American League. Atlanta Braves all the way, baby. I love baseball because Pop loved baseball, and I love the Braves thanks to Pop and Ted Turner.
Pop was a farm kid who grew up listening to Cardinal baseball. He and his dad were close enough in age that they played on the same local team in Keytesville. At one of the games a Cardinals' scout saw Pop play and was impressed. He found Pop's aunt in the stands and gave her his information. He told her he wanted Pop to try out for the Cardinals. She never told Pop. Not until years later. She didn't think that baseball was an appropriate vocation for a young man. A fine past time, but never a career. When I asked him about it, he claimed it didn't make him angry or upset. Maybe that was true by the time we were talking about it, I had to take him at his word. Still, it seems a shame that he was denied the opportunity to do something he loved due to someone else's idea of what was appropriate.
In the summer I would stay with Nanny and Pop and he would listen to Cardinal baseball. Later when they moved to town and got cable, he watched them on TV. On afternoons when Nanny was out, and therefore baseball wouldn't interfere with her "stories", Pop would flip around the channels until he found a game. The Cardinals and the Royals were his favorites and finally the Braves too. I would lay on the rough, cabbage rose floral upholstered couch with my nose in a book and listen.
Ted Turner is a genius for many reasons, but the one that sticks out in my mind is putting the Braves on TBS. Ted owned an awesome, popular Superstation and a less awesome, not-so-popular baseball team. He put them together like chocolate and peanut butter and made something great. With 162 games to be televised, you either had to give into Stockholm Syndrome or become a football fan. Baseball Stockholm Syndrome isn't as bad as it sounds.
Pop would turn on the game and I would lay on the couch with Louisa May Alcott or a Harlequin romance. If reading times were really tough, there was the Rural Missourian magazine or the Moberly Monitor-Index available. We would split a Coke and listen to Skip Carey give the play-by-play. I freely admit I still get bored during pitcher's duels.
Oh man, the Braves were rotten. And those robin's egg blue uniforms?! Ugh. When Skip Carey would announce the attendance (usually a little over 5,000 people) the camera wouldn't pan the stadium like at Cardinals' games, but stayed in tight behind home plate where the people were clustered together. None of that mattered when the Braves won. It just made the wins that much sweeter.
I've seen the Braves play at Fulton County Stadium and twice at Busch. Once on my birthday! And someday I'll see them at Turner Field. My hope is to go to Cooperstown when Greg Maddox, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz get inducted. However, since I doubt they'll all go in the same year I'll have to pick just one. Here's looking at you Tommy Glavine.
I agree, those old uniforms--for almost all the teams--were just god-awful.
What an wonderful memory piece, enjoyed it very much :)
The Hurricane kind of tasted like baby aspirin.
Justin - Thanks! You're exactly right, every win is a huge celebration!
Stim - Being from Iowa you either had to be a Cubs fan or Cards fan. I miss good AM radio.
Mark - Thank you so much! The Nationals are finding their feet a bit this year. :) #1 in the NL East!
Councilwoman Phyllis! - A pitcher's duel is usually three up and three down, every half inning. No one gets on base, no one does anything except throw the ball and swing the bat. Occasionally they connect for a foul ball or something. It is mind numbing.
Bell - I'm so glad you can identify. Love An Old-Fashioned Girl and Eight Cousins. Thank you!
I love the nostalgia in this ~ daughter & Pop, splitting a coke, sharing time. You tell it so well.
I love that you took on his enthusiasm too.
We have some odd names for teams here but as yet, no Bandicoots ( that I know of. ) If there was such a team, it would probably be Junior Snuffleboard, or some such.
Baseball brings back so many memories for us.
Really enjoyed this MM.
Hi Rita - Thank you for stopping by. My first live baseball game was Cards/Phillies.

Have you seen the tablets that just came out?
A slow year for tablets finally kicks into gear. Check out the bad boys that debuted this week.

Few places, outside of perhaps trade shows CES and E3, illustrate the overlapping Venn diagram of technology, video games, and popular culture better than the New York Comic Con (or the much larger, but unrelated San Diego Comic-Con). Not just for comic book geeks any more, the show is a catch-all of video games (new and vintage), comics, toys and collectibles, movies, and, of course, incessant marketing towards the mostly male, mostly young adult audience.

Torrie Anne Wilson (born July 24, 1975) is an American model, fitness competitor, actress, retired professional wrestler and former WWE Diva. She is best known for her time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where she performed on both SmackDown and Raw.
As a fitness competitor, Wilson won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1999.[1][7] Shortly after, she was signed by World Championship Wrestling, where she stayed from 1999 until 2001 (when it was purchased by WWE).[2][6][7] In 2001, she began appearing on World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as part of The Invasion (of WCW, by the [then-] WWF) storyline.[4] Her most high profile storyline took place in 2003 when she feuded with Dawn Marie.[4][8] Wilson has also been a part of the all-female stable (i.e., a group of storyline-associated characters), known as Vince's Devils, which ended its run in 2006.
Aside from pro wrestling, Wilson has been on the cover of several magazines, including FHM and Playboy (for which she posed twice).[5][7][8]
Wilson was born in Boise, Idaho.[1] She claims that while growing up she was painfully shy as a child.[7][8][9] Wilson found her niche in many school activities, including cheerleading, dance, and was very competitive in track and field.[1][7]
During her sophomore year of high school, after Wilson's interest in modeling grew more serious, her mother urged her to pursue it.[1] They visited an agency and were informed that Wilson would have to lose weight to be considered for jobs.[1] In the process of losing weight, she began a bout with anorexia nervosa and then bulimia that lasted from ages 14-to-20.[1][7]
After recovering from the disorder, Wilson became involved in fitness.[1][6] She began eating six meals a day and working out.[7] She placed third in her first competition,[1] and she later won the Miss Galaxy competition in 1998.[1][7] She then spent some time on the Extreme Fitness Team.[10] As part of the Women's Tri-Fitness Championships in 1998, Wilson won first place in the Grace and Physique round.[11]
Later in 1998, Wilson moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.[1][8] She began acting classes and was introduced to an agent who helped her gain a few jobs.[1]
Wilson's start in wrestling came when she attended a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) show with her boyfriend in 1999.[6][7][8] After going backstage, she was asked to walk out to the ring with Scott Steiner.[6] Later, Kevin Nash expressed an interest in doing a storyline with her.[4][6][8] She debuted as "Samantha", who was brought in by the New World Order (nWo) to seduce David Flair into turning against his father, Ric Flair.[4][12] They appeared together on February 21 at Superbrawl when Wilson slapped Ric, and David zapped him with a taser.[13] After Ric Flair won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Hollywood Hogan at Uncensored inside a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match, David and Torrie took some time off from WCW television in April before returning in May to accompany David to the ring for matches. At the 1999 Bash at the Beach, Wilson acted as a valet for Flair as he successfully defended the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Dean Malenko.
She continued to accompany David to the ring until September when David was on the telephone with Torrie and later found out that Torrie was in the Filthy Animals' locker room flirting with Billy Kidman, this resulted in a feud between Flair and Kidman on the October 18, 1999 episode of Nitro when Torrie turned on him, resulting in Flair losing the match and the Animals beating on him, after the Animals stopped assaulting David, Torrie left with the Animals, It was around this time that Wilson began managing Billy Kidman and his Filthy Animals teammates.[4] As a result, she found herself involved in the Animals continuing feud with The Revolution.[4] On the November 22, 1999 episode of Nitro, during a tag team match between Billy Kidman and Konnan facing Creative Control for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, Billy Kidman looked up at the Turnertron and saw that Torrie Wilson and Eddie Guerrero were shown flirting inside his locker room on the "Kidcam", a hidden camera segment, which led to a storyline feud between Kidman and Guerrero.[4] Following this, Wilson once again disappeared from television. Wilson however returned on the January 19, 2000 episode of Thunder managing Billy Kidman, and in April 2000, Kidman and Wilson joined a stable known as the New Blood, making them both villainous characters. As part of their newest storyline, Kidman became jealous of the attention Wilson began to give to fellow New Blood member Horace Hogan. In June, Wilson gave Kidman a hit at the Great American Bash, causing him to lose to Horace's uncle, Hulk Hogan.[4]
Wilson was taken off of television following the encounter, reappearing at July's Bash at the Beach during a match between Shane Douglas and Buff Bagwell. After the match, Wilson and Douglas left together, which led to a feud between Kidman and Douglas.[14] At September's Fall Brawl, Wilson and Douglas defeated Kidman and Madusa in a mixed tag team match with scaffolding erected above the ring.[2] Wilson was released from WCW in December 2000. Although she would make one more appearance on the March 19, 2001 episode of Nitro being held hostage by Shane Douglas.[2]
Wilson made her television debut as a villain on the June 28, 2001 episode of SmackDown! as part of The Alliance during the Invasion angle in 2001.[4] In her first storyline with the company, she portrayed Vince McMahon's latest affair.[15] She also regularly teamed with fellow WCW performer Stacy Keibler. The duo made their wrestling debuts in a Bra and Panties match against Lita and Trish Stratus at the InVasion pay-per-view, which Stratus and Lita won by stripping their opponents to their underwear. The following night on Raw, Wilson defeated Stratus in a Paddle on a Pole match.[2] Despite her relative lack of in-ring experience, Wilson, alongside Keibler and Ivory, regularly feuded with the Divas,[16] as well as interfering in matches on behalf of other wrestlers in The Alliance.
She became a fan favorite during the Invasion storyline when her character began an on-screen romance with Tajiri.[4] This new romance caused Keibler to turn against Wilson, and as a result of this, Wilson defected to the company. Wilson defeated Keibler in a lingerie match at No Mercy finishing her opponent with a low blow while dressed in lingerie.[2]
When the first ever brand separation of the company roster took place in April 2002, Wilson was drafted to SmackDown!.[17] Shortly after this, as part of the storyline, Tajiri soon became jealous over the increased attention that Wilson received from other men, so he forced her to wear a geisha outfit,[4][18] and he also appeared to mistreat her in matches.[2] Wilson finally grew tired of this, and during Tajiri's match against The Hurricane, she got on top of the announcer's table and stripped off her clothing. The distraction allowed The Hurricane to pick up the win.[2][19] At Rebellion 2002, Torrie and her real life boyfriend at the time Billy Kidman defeated John Cena and Dawn Marie in an intergender tag team match. After the match Torrie and Kidman kissed.[2]
Wilson's most high profile storyline during her first few years with the company was in 2002 and 2003 when she feuded with Dawn Marie.[4][8] On the October 17 episode of Smackdown!, Torrie teamed up with Rikishi in losing effort to the team of Dawn Marie and Matt Hardy[20] In the angle, Dawn Marie attempted to marry Wilson's real-life father Al Wilson.[6][8][21] Dawn also revealed that she had developed feelings for Torrie, and the two shared an on-screen kiss.[6][22] Dawn even offered to cancel the wedding if Torrie would go to a hotel with her for the night.[4] Despite this, as part of the storyline, Dawn developed feelings for Al and the two got married on an episode of SmackDown! in their underwear.[22] Al then, in storyline, died from a heart attack after having rigorous sex numerous times in succession on their honeymoon.[4][22][23][24] In response, Wilson defeated Dawn at No Mercy in October.[25] She defeated Dawn Marie again at the Royal Rumble in what was billed as a Stepmother vs. Stepdaughter match.[4][24] The feud lasted approximately nine months.[8]
Later, Wilson began a second feud with Marie. As part of the feud, the two had a match with Torrie's career on the line when the SmackDown! General Manager at the time, Kurt Angle, made the stipulation for the match at Judgment Day, which Torrie defeated Dawn to keep her career.[26]
In May 2003, Wilson appeared in a pictorial and on the cover of Playboy magazine.[4] A few months earlier, when her pictorial was announced, a short storyline feud with Nidia developed, with the latter being jealous of the fact that Wilson was chosen for the cover and spread in the magazine.[27] In weekly vignettes aired on SmackDown!, both Nidia and her on-screen boyfriend Jamie Noble made trips to The Playboy Mansion to complain to Hugh Hefner over his choice.[27]
Soon after, on an April 2003 episode of SmackDown! during a segment labeled as Torrie's Playboy Coming Out Party former Diva and Playboy covergirl Sable made her return to WWE after a four-year absence.[4] This began a storyline between the two women where for weeks, Sable played mind games with Wilson, being friendly one moment and unfriendly the next.[28] This all led up to a bikini contest between the two at Judgment Day, which Wilson won.[29] After the contest, Wilson kissed the former Women's Champion Sable on the lips, showing her that there was "no hard feelings" due to Wilson's win over the WWE veteran.[30] Torrie then got her first WWE Women's Championship match on Smackdown! after Women's Champion Molly Holly invaded the show interrupting Torrie's photoshoot and challenging her to a match in which Torrie was unsuccessful in winning.
Continuing her feud with Noble and Nidia from earlier in the year, Wilson managed Billy Gunn upon his WWE return in the summer of 2003.[4] The feud came to an end after Nidia and Noble both became fan favorites and sided with Gunn and Wilson. After the formation of this alliance, Wilson, Nidia, and Dawn Marie feuded with Shaniqua for a short period of time, which led to Shaniqua physically dominating Wilson and Nidia in a handicap match.[2]
Wilson teamed with Sable in March 2004 to feud with Raw Divas Stacy Keibler and Miss Jackie.[4] The feud's storyline centered on the latter duo's jealously of Wilson and Sable as Playboy cover girls, as well as their recently being named cover girls yet again, as the two Divas were announced to be featured together in an upcoming Playboy March 2004 issue.[4] After weeks of rivalry, Wilson and Sable defeated Keibler and Miss Jackie in a Playboy Evening Gown match at WrestleMania XX by stripping their opponents of their evening gowns.[4][31] Later in the year, Wilson engaged in a short feud with Sable, who defeated her at the Great American Bash.[4]
In November 2004, Wilson began feuding with Hiroko.[4] On the December 2 episode of SmackDown!, Wilson teamed up with Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam in winning effort against Hiroko, Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree.[2] On February 10, 2005 on a special episode of SmackDown! (recorded on February 4 in Saitama, Japan), Torrie defeated Hiroko in a kimono match by removing her kimono first.[32]
It was revealed on August 22, 2005 that Wilson and Candice Michelle had been moved to the Raw brand.[33] On that night, Wilson and Candice became villains by attacking Ashley Massaro.[4] Her and Candice's storyline feud with Massaro continued over the next couple weeks, as the duo, along with their enforcer Victoria (dubbed as the "Skankateers" by commentator Jim Ross), made things difficult for Massaro.[4] On the September 5 episode of Raw, the villainous Wilson defeated Massaro after interference from Victoria and Candice.[2] Massaro evened the score on the September 12, 2005 episode of Raw when she brought out the returning Trish Stratus, and the duo proceeded to attack the villains.[34] On the September 18 episode of Raw, Wilson teamed up with Victoria in losing effort to Trish Stratus and Ashley.[2] This led to a tag team match at Unforgiven, where the team of Stratus and Massaro defeated Wilson and Victoria.[35] The following night on Raw, Wilson was defeated by Stratus after the match Wilson, Victoria and Candice attacked Ashley and Trish.[2] The feud continued into WWE Homecoming, where Stratus and Massaro defeated Wilson, Candice, and Victoria in the first ever three on two Bra and Panties match by stripping all three of their opponents.[36]
Wilson was absent from WWE television for quite some time after this, leading to rumors and false reports that she had been released from WWE.[37][38] In actuality, she had taken a leave of absence to tend to some "personal issues".[37] Wilson was surprised by the rumors after some media personnel offered to help her find work.[37] WWE issued a statement on their website, in which Wilson also commented, denouncing the rumors.[37] In the statement she joked she had to "call the WWE office and ask them if they forgot to fire me".[37]
On October 17, Wilson made her return to Raw, where she, Candice and Victoria faced off against the team of Stratus, Massaro, and their new ally Mickie James in a winning effort after Wilson pinned James.[2] On November 28 episode of Raw, Wilson teamed up with Victoria and Candice Michelle in losing effort to Trish, Ashley and James.[39] On the February 13 episode of Raw, Wilson was accompied by Michelle in losing effort to Ashley.[2] Vince's Devils was a short-lived alliance. Wilson soon became a fan favorite after Candice and Victoria both turned against her. On the March 13 episode of Raw, Torrie helped Trish retain the Women's Championship against Victoria whom was accompied by Candice Michelle.[2] The following week on Raw, Torrie teamed up with Trish to defeat Victoria and Candice.[2] The storyline feud between Candice and Wilson led to a match where Wilson faced Playboy's newest cover girl, Candice, at WrestleMania 22 in a Playboy Pillow Fight.[4][40] Wilson won the match,[4] but the feud still continued on-and-off for some time. On the June 12, 2006 episode of Raw, Wilson defeated Candice in the first ever "Wet and Wild match", a wrestling match involving water balloons and squirt guns, in which the winner of the match would be on the cover of the WWE 2006 Summer Special magazine.[5]
Wilson also made a special appearance on WWE's ECW brand on August 22, 2006 representing Raw in a bikini contest against ECW Diva Kelly Kelly.[41] A winner was not decided, however, and a six-person mixed tag match began pitting Wilson, Tommy Dreamer, and The Sandman against the team of Kelly Kelly, Mike Knox, and Test. Wilson's team was victorious.[5][41]
In the final months of 2006, Wilson entered into an on-screen relationship with Carlito.[2] On the November 27 RAW, Torrie Wilson participated in a #1 Contenders Diva Battle Royal that was won by Victoria.[2] On the December 11 RAW, Torrie was defeated by Victoria and after the match Chris Masters proceeded to put Torrie in a Masterlock until she was saved by Carlito.[2] During this time, Ric Flair took an interest in Carlito, and Wilson accompanied the duo in a series of tag matches.[2] On March 12 episode of Raw!, Torrie was defeated by then Women's Champion Melina, after the match Melina attacked Wilson but was stopped by Mickie James, who was then stopped by Victoria, Melina then attempted to escape but was stopped by Ashley Massaro.[2] In May 2007, however, Carlito turned against Flair and dumped Wilson when he became a heel.[42] The storyline came to a halt when on the June 11 episode of Raw, when Wilson was drafted from Raw to SmackDown! as part of the 2007 WWE Draft.[43]
At the Summerslam pay-per-view, Torrie participated in a number one contenders Battle Royal which was won by Beth Phoenix.[2] On the September 21 episode of SmackDown! Torrie was one of the bridesmaids at the Theodore Long-Kristal Marshall wedding.[2] On the September 28 episode of SmackDown!, she was attacked in the ring by the debuting villainess Krissy Vaine,[44] but the feud was prematurely dropped when Vaine left the company.[45] On the October 29 episode of Raw! Torrie competed in the Halloween Divas Battle Royal eliminating Victoria before being last eliminated by Kelly Kelly, who defeated her with a strike to the groin.[2] On the November 16 episode of SmackDown!, Torrie teamed up with Mickie James in a losing effort to Beth Phoenix and Victoria.[2] She was on Mickie's team at Survivor Series, which was victorious over Beth Phoenix's.[2] Torrie's last appearance was on the November 23 episode of SmackDown!, defeating long-time rival Victoria.[2] In November, Wilson took time off from wrestling to undergo physical therapy in relation to a previous back injury.[46] On May 8, 2008, Wilson was released from her WWE contract.[47]
Aside from Playboy, Wilson has also appeared on the cover of several other magazines, including the September 2006 cover of FHM magazine.[5][9][48]
Wilson was also number forty-three on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list in 2007.[49] She has also been on AskMen.com's list of the Most Desirable Women in the World twice: she was number twenty-two in 2006 and number sixty-five in 2007.[5][38]
Wilson, along with several other Divas, filmed Timbaland's music video "Throw It On Me" in April 2007.[50] Also in 2007, Wilson made a special appearance, along with Mick Foley, at the Special Olympics World Games in Shanghai.[51] She appeared on the February 6, 2008 episode of Project Runway where the contestants designed wrestling attire for several of the Divas.[52]
In April 2009, Wilson signed on to appear in the NBC reality show, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me out of Here!, which premiered in June.[53] On the show's season finale, Wilson was named the runner-up to winner Lou Diamond Phillips.[citation needed]
In September 2011, Wilson along with Candice Michelle filmed Lilian Garcia's music video "U Drive Me Loca".[54]
Wilson admits not having watched wrestling when she was younger,[6][9][12] but says that since becoming involved in the industry, she has become a fan of Hulk Hogan.[9]
While working for WWE, Wilson was on the road up to 300 days per year.[12] She has a Maltese named Chloe, who traveled with her.[12] While on the road, Wilson worked out at least four days a week.[8] Usually, her workout consisted of an hour of cardiovascular workouts and a half-hour of lifting weights.[8]
Wilson also has a close friendship with Stacy Keibler.[7][8] At one point, they were roommates in Los Angeles, California.[8]
After dating for four years,[8] Wilson married Peter Gruner (known on-screen as Billy Kidman) on July 11, 2003.[4] They lived in Tampa, Florida, when not traveling.[6][7] The couple legally divorced in 2008.[55]
In September 2007, Wilson launched her clothing line, "Officially Jaded", alongside Nick Mitchell, a former WWE wrestler who was known as "Mitch" of the Spirit Squad. The couple began dating in mid-2006.[56] She opened a store in The Woodlands, Texas, at the upscale Market Street district.[57] On September 14, 2008, Torrie made an appearance at the inaugural Wrestler's Rescue event held in Piscataway, New Jersey, an event to create awareness and to help raise money to support the health care needs of retired professional wrestlers.[58]
As of December 2011, Wilson had been dating New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.[59]

ABC is serious about making Frozen a huge part of Once Upon a Time. We now hear that they will be adding Anna's former boy toy Hans to the show. So far we have no idea on who will play the role of her former flame. His version of the character will show a wild man who longs to be king and he isn't willing to go out without a fight. We are sure we can expect an evil streak from Hans on this awesome thriller.
As for who should play Hans, I am not sure. I think they have done well with their picks for the cast so far. So we can trust that they will find an amazing actor for Hans. I am just excited to see how they will turn this soon to be classic tale into a more mature and dark version of it. Once Upon a Time has done an amazing job so far with that and it seems to get better each year.
Are you excited to see Hans and the rest of Frozen on Once Upon a Time?

The new Navy assault ship USS New York, built with World Trade Center steel, has arrived in its namesake city with a 21-gun salute near the site of the 2001 terrorist attack. First responders, families of Sept. 11 victims and the public were invited Monday to a waterfront viewing area, where they could see the crew standing at attention along the ship's deck. The big ship paused. Then the 21 shots were fired, with a cracking sound, in three bursts. The bow of the $1 billion ship, built in Louisiana, contains about 7.5 tons of trade center steel. After the ground zero stop, the ship sails up the Hudson River to the George Washington Bridge. Then it turns around and heads south to Manhattan's Pier 88. The official commissioning ceremony will be on Saturday.

- It is a neatly convenient justification - that even if participants are unhappy in the short term, the experience may enhance self-understanding.
- It was his view that our self-understanding and our understanding of our common situation have become ever less comprehensive, and so our capacity to respond is increasingly restricted.

surface that pose additional challenges to capacity expansion. Finally, this is not only a commercial aviation issue, as military readiness is also being challenged by restrictions on training and operations. These effects will be exacerbated by aviation growth.
Compounding the environmental issues is the fact that aviation has features that distinguish it from other transportation modes and industries. The high premium placed on safety demands the incorporation of only proven and technically sound environmental technologies in aircraft, as well as on the ground (e.g., deicing for aircraft and airport runways). Aircraft are expensive and have a long life span, requiring long lead times for new technologies to be widely incorporated in the fleet and close attention to financial feasibility. Airborne systems must be lightweight and fuel-efficient. Noise, local and regional air quality, and potential climate effects are engendered by an interdependent set of technologies and operations, so that action to reduce impacts in one area (e.g., aircraft engine noise) can increase the impacts in another (e.g., nitrogen oxides emissions). All these factors combine to make it challenging to quickly incorporate new technologies, rapidly change fleets, or manage multiple environmental impacts without trade-offs.
In developing the environmental roadmap for implementing the draft NGATS architecture, a number of uncertainties remain that will have a large influence on the success of tackling the environmental dimension in delivering the NGATS plan. Some critical ones include:
Capacity results. It is uncertain whether the draft architecture will produce the targeted three times growth in capacity of the NGATS endeavor. Further, it is not clear what the definition is for capacity—whether it's measured in passengers or operations. Both these factors will have a large influence on potential environmental impacts and whether the current plans and initiatives have any prospect of success.
Number and location of "air portals." It is not clear at this juncture whether NGATS will be delivering aircraft in the same airport patterns of today or something vastly different. Will the majority of traffic involve the top 50 airports, or will it spread to hundreds or thousands of air portals? The potential environmental footprint of aviation—and hence the investments required to shrink that footprint—will be vastly different depending on this number.
Required environmental performance. It remains to be developed how to work in the environmental performance requirements for air traffic services, aircraft, and airports in a system that operates on multiple, differentiated service levels aligned with each user's ability to meet different levels of Required Total System Performance. Further, given the capabilities that new technologies may offer, a balance between applying these abilities in expanding capacity versus minimizing environmental impacts will need to occur.
Cost and timing of delivery. There are (understandably) significant gaps in information on the costs of implementation and timing of delivery of capabilities in the transition from the existing mode of NAS operations to the planned architecture. Both the scale of costs, especially in terms of enabling technology—e.g., GPS overlay procedures and fleet retrofitting—and timing issues will have large potential impacts on the ability to manage the resulting environmental impacts.
Identification of choke points in the system. The initial architecture has focused on managing traffic through the sky. Given the early stage of development, it is not surprising that the key choke points have not yet been identified. However, just as important will be identification of the choke points in NGATS, to ensure correct targeting of investment in different aspects of the plan to provide the necessary capacity growth.
Environmental targets for 2025. The required scope of reduction in both noise and local air quality emissions for the system of 2025 has yet to be determined. While we have committed to absolute reductions in both areas, the investments actually required will again depend on how aggressive we are in changing these metrics. It is also unclear what additional impacts may arise from improved scientific understanding of aviation's influence on climate change. Finally, it is uncertain what new requirements may arise from potential introduction of new aircraft types—for example, supersonic business jets—or new environmental concerns—for example, high-altitude noise over national parks.
Composition and environmental performance of the aircraft fleet. The large, subsonic commercial aircraft fleet we have today will—without intervention—in large part be the fleet we have in 2025. This poses a significant obstacle to improved environmental performance, especially for a system that expands threefold. For example, while navigation capabilities can be upgraded relatively quickly and cheaply through plug and play, changing the environmental performance of an aircraft is a more costly and difficult task given the safety and operational issues. Further, the role and size of other aircraft—very light jets, very large jets, UAVs, supersonic business jets, etc.—in the system of 2025 are unclear.
Technological research funding gap. The next 5 to 7 years of research and development are critical for the fleet of 2025 given the long lead times involved in

Rich, sweet aroma, deep oak. Full bodied taste, thick, silky and rich. Very moreish! Real complex mouthful, with a lovely after-taste, warm, with definite dried fruits. Similar to Highland Park.

The low pressure system that drifted onshore Wednesday brought us another round of showers and thunderstorms. Fortunately, there were mainly just embedded rumbles of thunder within the steady light rain. Early morning rainfall brought nearly half an inch of the wet stuff to Medford, one of the higher totals in the region. That's a record amount of rainfall recorded in Medford on August 13.
Throughout the afternoon, another line of showers and storms erupted in a line extending from Siskiyou County northeastward into the Klamath Basin. There were numerous lightning strikes, but rainfall amounts were low. As the center of low pressure slowly exits the region, a few straggling showers and storms are possible along and east of the Cascades on Thursday.
The storm chance for Thursday is very isolated. It will be the last day with storms in the forecast for several days. High pressure builds in through the weekend, and mostly sunny skies warm temperatures back above average. Enjoy Thursday's highs in the 70's and 80's, because by the beginning of next week, northern California and west side valleys will see highs in the middle to upper 90's.
