Y ou hear the phrase "Complete the Citywide Bicycle Network" from the SFBC all the time, and with good reason: it's our #1 passion and top-priority project, bringing benefits to the economy, the environment, public health, social justice, and general livability, and helping the city meet its goal of having 10% of all trips made by bike by 2010. It certainly sounds good, but The Great S.F. Bike what does it really mean to the average San Francisco bicyclist?

However, if the CC notices that the companion is prone to riding in the more dangerous door-zone, a CC might want to take the door side to steer the companion away from this hazard. When the companions must ride single-file, a CC should ride behind in most situations, allowing the companion to set the pace. Again, stay a little to the left to force traffic to move over more and give the rider in front more of a buffer. When entering chaotic urban cyclist situations, a CC might want to move to the front and point out glass and other hazards, giving cues to follow. Advice Pedaler Fashion Tip!

A van drives up to the back of the school and in it is Forrester and his Handler. "I know it's gonna be hard for you to run into some familiar faces, but you must keep tabs of those on your list."
"I know.And no, It's not gonna be hard....." Forrester is dressed in a black tux, with a bowtie, looking uncomfortable in it, though he's not relaxed at all.
"Time to move out Forrester, have fun" The Handler opens the side door to the van and Forrester steps out. The van leaves and disappears.
Looking at his watch, Forrester realizes he's very late to the dance. "Shit. Them assholes kept me in there too long. Kas is probably pissed at me......'Can't tell her a thing, man.....just act normal.....whatever that is...'
With that, Forrester walks through the doors into the university.
Snappes out of my staring..."Uhm sure I will come with you two"...Stands up and grab my bag..."But I dont really need a thing so just tagging along"..Smiles softly..Then lookes out of the window again looking at the sky...Almost longing at the sky..

Kasi looked around as the door of the gym opened, she saw a few students come in and one of them was Forrester. She pulled away from Mi chan and walked toward him. She showed him how hurt she was for not talking to her for how a few days.
" I thought we were friends Forrest."She turned back to Mitsuba and asked him if they could go."Mi chan, can we go please? We can stay at my place instead of walking two blocks away from the university. "
"In your arms is where i will be, I love you till my forever ends."

After the confusing, yet, entertaining event that had accured. I decided to hang back at the bench to wait for my date to arrive... alone... again.
A few minutes later Sen revealed her self once again and sat on the back end of the bench.
"Well at least I am not completely alone."
Sen Crossed her arms and turned her head in the opposit direction. I could do nothing but let out a sigh as I hung my head.
"ok lead the way Kasi-chan" i follow her to her house when we get inside i hand her a set of keys here if you want to go anywhere you can take my car"
i cry inside for life anew i die each time im torn in two i live for earth and die for none along comes a god who will always bring peace and tranquility
Sai watches more drama coming from the opened doors. he turns around and grabs another cupcake and devours its, he looks at the upset person, "you'll have to excuse me." he leaves the man alone.
Kevin walks out of the apartment with only a jacket, Jack turns around and looks at Maya, he stares at her for a moment then leans in for a kiss. "I wanna buy you something nice." he said with a smile.
With a sigh, Forrester's mind dwells upon the look of disappointment on Kasumi's face. 'I'm sorry.....If only I could tell you what's been going on.......Dammit..' He shakes his head to get rid of the melancholy haze possessing his mind. 'Mission...mission....watch the people on the list.'
With that, Forrester gets himself some punch and sits down, looking at his quarry and adjusting his tie. The camera must be focused right.
I blushed slightly and kisses back..."You dont have to do that for me"...Smiles while saying and then walks out of the appartment..."Uhm Kevin shouldnt you put on more clothes if you want some I have some in my appartment and its probaly the same size as yours want them?"...Smiles and then stands still and looks at the sky again with a longing look again...
We are affraid of losing controle...But why should you be affraid of losing it...While you didnt have it...

cleaning smooth top range
I have a GE smooth top range. Everytime I use it I get marks under the pans that are hard to get off. I use calphalan pans & skillets. Is there a better brand out there. What is the best way to clean a smooth top range?
When you mention smooth top, I'm assuming you mean a glass top? If so, my wife uses a glass top cleaner made to remove those marks and she says the products work just fine. I suspect this would work for a metalic smooth top also. There is some type of pad they sell for this also. As for the pans, stainless steel with flat bottoms are recommendations (shy away from aluminum, I think one of the brands I remember her looking at was Farber Ware). I know this because after she bought the stove, we replaced all her pots and pans. We spent a lot of time looking at pots and pans with perfectly flat bottoms. In my opinion, those stoves look nice but are they really worth the trouble? I don't do the cooking, I cut the grass and split the wood so it's none of my business. If it were me, I would have bought a real stove.
I've used three different brands of Ceramic Stovetop cleaners, and they all work well. I use a sponge that has a nylon net covering, which works better than a straight sponge.
BTW, I prefer cooking with a gas stove, but the glass top makes clean-up a whole lot easier and gives me more counter space when the burners are off.
as recommended, use the glass top cleaners.
if you ahve a cooked on spill, use a razor blade to scrape it off. hold the blade at a slight angle and push it along. it will peel the crud off quickly. then wipe it clean with a sponge and the cleaner.
I had to replace all of my cookware too, and I bought Analon, and LOVE them. They don't scratch my cooktop.
Weissman's is what I use to clean it. It really polishes the glass and seems to protect the surface somewhat. One precaution I take is to make sure and clean the bottom of my pots and pans very carefully when I'm washing. That really makes a difference. I also look at and wipe off the bottom of the pans before sitting them on the glass. Sometimes you may have something on the bottom of the pan that will scratch the surface.
I am a messy cook, and was used to gas, so I've had quite a few boil overs, but have never had to resort to a razor blade (yet).
I do think that the frequent polishing really helps protect the surface. So, I use this stuff a lot! I also found that using something citrusy to clean off.
I agree with both of the above posters -- I can use my cooktop as countertop at times (I have very little of that), and though I preferred my gas stove for cooking, this is much easier to keep clean.

Our Local History
The Victoria School Museum
The Victoria School Museum, as a building, has had few but important uses. During it's long life. In 1872, when construction began on the location, the plan was to build a standard loyalist style two-story stone structure which would principally house the Town Hall for the Village of Carleton Place. Included in this was a room for Council chambers from which the village affairs could be administered.

Secret army of 'scallywags' to sabotage German occupation
The only clue to their alter egos might have been the pieces of paper in their pockets – informing any police officer suspicious of their behaviour "to ask no questions of the bearer but phone this number".
But new details have now emerged of the highly secretive role played by a "resistance" army of fit young men and women chosen as would-be saboteurs and spies in the event of a German landing.
In the dark days of 1940, the unit grew to about 6,000 members, who knew little of each other and operated in small guerrilla groups. Recruited to disrupt a German occupation force – including roles such as blowing up tanks, lorry parks and communications – the teams prepared by carrying out covert missions, known as "scallywagging", at night.

The shortstop, the utiltyman and the phenom
Feb 24, 2010, 3:23 PM EDT
VIERA, Fla. — A good portion of Jim Riggleman's media session this morning was spent talking about perhaps the one true question mark concerning his starting lineup: shortstop. Is Cristian Guzman guaranteed the everyday job, or could Ian Desmond leapfrog him? And if Guzman is the guy, could Desmond remain as a utilityman? And in any scenario, who's going to bat second behind Nyjer Morgan?
So let's address each of these issues, one-by-one, based on what Riggleman had to say this morning…
Is Cristian Guzman guaranteed the everyday job at shortstop?
Yes, provided he is healthy. Guzman is coming back from a shoulder injury, but according to Riggleman, he's nearly back to 100 percent and will start at shortstop in one of the Nats' split-squad games to open the Grapefruit League March 4. "As of day one, our plan is thatRead more »

Strasburg could also pitch at Nationals Park in the exhibition game on April 3rd and be right on schedule to pitch at Potomac on April 8th. Between Strasburg and the Red Sox, that would result in a huge payday for the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation. I really can't think of a reason that it won't happen.

You already have Mike Morse, Willie Harris, and Pete Orr as potential utility men and IMHO Mike Morse plays more positions well than anyone else and is the best choice as a 1st Baseman to back-up Adam Dunn in the depth chart.
- Anonymous8 - Feb 24, 2010 at 9:01 PM
ABM – The April 3rd exhibition game against Boston is already projected as a potential sell-out. Its not sold out yet, but will be close to it.I do agree that if Strasburg pitches then the remaining tickets will be scooped up quickly.I think the big draw, strategically, is that the opponent is the BOSTON RED SOX and would be close to a sell out if Daniel Cabrera was the starting pitcher.

During the campaign Kennedy had stated that America was "on the edge of a New Frontier"; in his inaugural speech he spoke of "a new generation of Americans"; and during his presidency he seemed to be taking government in a new direction, away from the easygoing Eisenhower style.

Online Ads Are More Dangerous Than Porn, Cisco Says 110
from the watch-what-you-click dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The summary, and the Security Week article, write that "Users are more 21 times more likely to get hit with malware from online shopping sites than if they'd gone to a counterfeit software site".
Cisco's report says that "Online shopping sites are 21 times more likely to deliver malicious content than counterfeit software sites."
Those statements are not equivalent. Online shopping sites have many more visitors than counterfeit software sites, so they have more opportunity to deliver malware. The same goes for the factor of 27 for search engines.
Also, it's hard to check the factor of 182 for adult sites, since the report doesn't include that number, or in fact even the words "porn" or "adult".
I consider "Adblock" and similar browser and computer add-ons to be *security* tools as much as bandwidth and other management.
Since the first time I noted browser exploits coming across common news and sales sites, I realized that the current model requires not trust of the sites we visit, but of the advertiser's sites... you know, like google and double-click and the others. I don't want to trust "unknowns" and so I block them unless I need them unblocked for access.

There is no micro management. Onsite cafeteria. Quiet work environment. Those who are self-disciplined can definitely improve their skills. Nice location in DC with shuttles to the nearest metro stations. Really the only part about ARC that impressed me was their commitment to diversity, with regular meetings for employees who wanted to attend.Cons
Somewhere in the organization there is trouble transitioning to technology. They use the same checks and balances they probably had in place before email, internet, etc. It's quiet and very very lonely. The only people I regularly spoke to were two people sitting near me, and the people I met smoking outside. On my first day I was given a brief tour, a desk, a computer and a phone. I had computer trouble the entire time I worked for them. My computer was so slow that adding a row in Excel could take up to twenty minutes. From what I saw, my only guess is that managers have just been promoted based on their time with the organization and not based on their skills.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I'm a red lipstick addict! I've a drawer practically filled to the brim with every shade/style out there. But this one is my ABSOLUTE favorite. The color is stunning, there's really no comparison. The texture-while a bit dry-is the perfect matte. It stays on FOREVER, doesn't bleed, and is easy to apply. If I had to criticize this product at all, it would be, of course, for the price yikes and the pencil itself. I really wish it were easier to sharpen. I have a very high end sharpener from Aveda which normally works wonders on my other pencil products but this Nars pencil is extremely hard to sharpen without it breaking. I've tried putting it in the fridge, I've tried keeping it warm and soft, but nothing seems to work. I've read other reviews that have recommended purchasing the Nars special sharpener but I really would hate to buy a sharpener JUST for this when I already have one that works on every other pencil product I have. That being said, I would buy this product again. It's worth it to me. I love the compliments I get with this lippy, and highly recommend it to any lovely, lipstick wearing lady/gent out there.

The shade Dragon Girl wasn't exactly what I expected. It looks more like cool pink on my lips, especially when I haven't layered it. It's still pretty and I'm using it. I love the soft consistency and I would pick that anytime over a glossy finish. It was surprising how thin layer it creates, so making your lips look defined is easy. I wish there were more lipsticks like this. It's necessary to get a big sharpener for this pencil.

I love this shade so much that I used up my Sephora gift card to get it. There was no way I could stand to pay $34 plus tax for a pencil, but I had to have it. To me it looks like an antique light red with undertones of blue roses. I am in love with it, but on me it is not going on at all creamy and rich looking and glowing, as all the pictures on a web search show it. I was afraid of this when I saw it only came in matte, but there's nothing else like it. After trying it on my hand I went to three stores, and I walked around every display of every single brand from high to low end, trying shades on my hand to find a dupe that was not matte because I have never done well with matte pencils. I did get three other more glossy lipsticks in the blue red range, but they are not the same. So, I found I can put Lancome juicy tubes clear lip gloss on top to add some glow and dimension. It works equally well to put this on top of a similar shade in a creamy formula. It doesn't seem to work just by itself. It is too dry and almost minimizes my lips. The colour is thrilling yet the matte formula is annoying and not pigmented enough. Anyway, highest marks for colour, but I have to lower the rating because I will have to sharpen it and waste some, plus the matte finish is the only way we can get this colour and that is so unfair. I don't foresee buying it again, as this surely will last a long time. I will have fun experimenting with different ways to apply it to maximize its beauty.

I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone of pinky nude shades (faves include: Revlon balm stain in honey, Illamasqua's Climax and Guerlain's Gemma.) After a disappointing experience with MAC's Russian Red, I steered clear of reds. Until I saw Dragon Girl. I was torn between this or Cruella. Not gonna lie, bought it partly because it reminds me of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo lol. It's described as a "siren red." With my NC30 skin and black hair, it adds instant glam to my face without much effort. I was complimented by several people when I wore this today and it prompted me to write this review! I have dry lips with Blistex lip medex being my saving grace. First I apply one layer of Dragon Girl on my lips (it's seriously pigmented!), then use a lip brush to apply a bit of Blistex to the center of my lips and finally use a bit of Nars radiant creamy concealer with a brush to clean up the edges. I don't use a lip liner, the matte formulation allows the colour to stay put. I had this on for almost 12 hours today and had two meals, drank plenty of water and did no touch-ups and the colour only faded a bit on the center of my bottom lip. I was pleasantly surprised by how non-drying it is, despite the matte formula. This is quickly becoming my HG red. My only gripe about this product is the price, it's currently $31 CAD for 0.086 oz and yes, product does get wasted because it requires sharpening. But I suppose it's better to pay for a product that gets lots of love than to have it abandoned in a makeup drawer...

I decided to splurge on this Nars Lip Pencil, after my close friend raved about it and I tried it in Sephora. Not gonna lie, I was also pretty enthralled by the fact that this is Taylor Swift's signature red lip. SO GLAD I WENT FOR IT. This is absolutely gorgeous. It goes on so smooth, the color is buildable, it has beautiful cool undertones that compliment my fair skin, and it doesn't dry out my lips. Also, this is the first lip product I've tried that doesn't leave little marks all over your cups when you're trying to drink!!! Especially if you blot once with a tissue!!!! It's definitely expensive, but it's a luxury product that gives you bang for your buck and everyone should have a stunning red lip in their arsenal.

This colour is a-ma-zing! I also think this 'pencil-idea' is very clever, because now you're able to work very precise. Still, I do think it is a bit drying, but that is sincerely the only minus point. For reference, I am a NC 25, darkbrown hair and green eyes!

Everytime I wear this I get several compliments with everyone always asking me what I've got on my lips! Extremely long wearing, it's rarely leaves a print on my wine glass, where my other friends are constantly topping their lipstick I never have to when I'm wearing this. Really recommend using Chapstick 15mins before applying dragon girl and using a lipliner for the precise application (I use MAC cherry). Hate thing I don't like is the pencil formula, however this will not stop me buying in the future

I was always afraid of red lipstick because I'm pretty pale, but this color is gorgeous! I've had a few other NARS lip pencils before and I love the texture and ease of application. This shade in particular is a bright, beautiful red that's fun but not too intimidating. It's super pigmented and lasts a long time without feathering. I don't find that this lip pencil clings to dry skin, either, which is definitely a plus. I like the fact that it's a pencil because it's easy to travel with and easier to apply precisely, but it is annoying that you have to sharpen it. It's a little expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion.

I really like this product, it's a lip pencil that I can rely on when applying in the morning to still have on during lunch.
Pretty much the only thing I don't like about this product is the fact that it's in a pencil form and needs sharpening.
The product is highly opaque and is very matte without being drying, though I would recommend that people with usually dry lips moisturise before application.
Though it's a great product, there are others that have a similar - if not the same - shade and texture in friendlier forms such as a lipstick tube. Therefore I will likely not be repurchasing this product.

Sights & Attractions in Aruba
Aruba Sights
Aruba's wildly sculpted landscape is replete with rocky deserts, cactus clusters, secluded coves, blue vistas, and the trademark divi-divi tree. To see the island's wild, untamed beauty, you can rent a car, take a sightseeing tour, or hire a cab for $45 an hour (for up to four people). The main highways are well paved, but on the windward side (the north- and east-facing side) some roads are still
a mixture of compacted dirt and stones. Although a car is fine, a four-wheel-drive vehicle will allow you to explore the unpaved interior.
Traffic is sparse, but signs leading to sights are often small and hand-lettered (this is slowly changing as the government puts up official road signs), so watch closely. Route 1A travels southbound along the western coast, and 1B is simply northbound along the same road. If you lose your way, just look to the divi-divi trees, which always lean southwest.

Only United India Insurance and APSRTC attend the adalat
KADAPA: Kadapa District Judge M. Vijayalakshmi on Saturday expressed concern at the poor response from insurance companies to mega Lok Adalat on motor vehicle accidents in Nyaya Seva Sadan here.
Only officials of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation and United India Insurance Company Ltd attended the mega Lok Adalat, while other companies were absent, which was unfortunate, she said.
Speaking after inaugurating a mega Lok Adalat on motor vehicle accident cases, she called upon other insurance companies to attend the mega Lok Adalat.
She called upon litigants to amicably resolve their cases in Lok Adalats.
She said accident victims had to spend hefty amounts on medicare. Besides suffering injuries, they lose livelihood and income, she observed.
Death of an earning member would plunge the family into a crisis and compensation would be of great help to them in providing succour.
Additional District Judge Surendra Babu Reddy, Senior Civil Judge Ravindra Reddy, permanent Lok Adalat Chairman Mohan Gandhi, ADJs Ananda Rao and P.V. Krishna Murthy, District Legal Services Authority secretary B. Syamsunder Reddy, Judges Radhamma, Mary Sarah Danamma and Subhavani, senior advocate Santharam Naidu and litigants participated.in the meet.
