Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Too many numpties, too many of my friends have been brought down by ignorant riders, never again.
The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine.

Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Good luck Lizzy. Hope you don't have to push too hard against the flow.
@Fixed Yeah there can be a fair few numpties. I'll just be cruising with a few mates. The MS ride saw plenty eat the road. Saw plenty of bark off bodies that day. 2015 Specialized Tarmac 2012 Avanti Giro3

Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Apparently a girl got taken out and then her head was run over by a bicycles...
I was helping out the club It was lovely not to ride
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Thought with that girl. Hope she is ok. It was my first Santos. Some of the courtesys I take for granted riding witj experienced people were really missing yesterday. Too many trying to lay down a hot lap at any expense. Hopefully most people avoided strife.

Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)I got taken out from behind at about the 18km mark. lost some bark and have bruised hip and ribs. Far too many inexperienced people weaving all over the road. I don't think I'll dot it again next year. might try doing some of the Audax rides instead.

Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Was in the second group off for the 106km, managed to get round 7 mins before the 53km started and finished in 2:48 at an avg of 37kph. The faster groups (fortunately) appeared to be full of more experienced riders, lots of calling and a mainly tight double paceline ridden all the way around. However a couple of mates who rode slower said there a few nasty spills , that ride's off the tick list now, glad to get round alive......
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
Sorry to hear that, but this is why I flat out refuse to do the Great Bike Ride and the Freeway Bike Hike. Too many inexperienced people who don't know how to ride in a group. Will be good to see you trying a few Audax rides Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Was a pretty good ride. Saw two crashes. Both due to going too hot into corners or roundabouts. Not too many dumb moves but I seemed to be on my own between groups a lot of the way. Was trying to get a bit of a pace line going but one guy obviously just had no idea and would push back into the group every time rather than running in a line.
Funny watching all the "fast guys" suddenly not being so fast when they hit the hill at Mosman Park.
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
Ditto 2nd wave and same time, we mustve been in the same group for most of the ride, I got 2:48:51 as I got dropped by the group going through south perth.
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
I started in the 4th group. Finished in 2:52 which im happy with. Was with a small / safe fast group for the last 2/3rds of the first lap. The 53km started shortly after we crossed the start / finish line. The first wave literally flew past us!! Joined in with the 2nd wave and it very quickly became a large peleton. Good for a tow but was a dangerous 2nd lap with a few close calls & a few accidents!!! Enjoyed the day but can get nasty quickly Mike
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)had a great day and got around in 2'45-ish for the 106km.
looking forward to next year inflammatory statement or idea
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
Well it turned out to be so easy I ended up with time on my hands for a breakky stop, nice! Gave the PSP a miss for the most part and took Labouchere/Mill Pt, and must have come across the foreshore between waves or something. Have been tempted a couple of times to sign up for these big rides, but have thought better of it mainly for fear of being one of the numpties described here "Lexa": 2012 Trek Lexa S; "Bluey": 2006 Trek 7.0FX
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Last Sunday was a great day to hit the Kalamunda MTB circuit - forgotten how much fun it is. Had not been since the last Santos Bike ride but will hit the trails every couple of weeks now I have a bunch of roadies turned to the dirty side
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
Nice to do these rides from time to time, makes riding on the road feel a lot safer . Think I ended up in the same group as you did Mike as the 1 lappers caught me at the Old Swan Brewery. I did the 2 lapper - turned out to be good fun for the first lap as we managed to form a nice little group after going through Osborne Park. Lots of signalling, swapping the lead etc, not too bad. On the second lap though the single-lap riders caught up pretty quickly and things started to get scary with the lack of indication and people knowing the route. Sure enough when we got to South Perth turning into Mends Street I saw my first off and nearly saw plenty more down the back of McCallum Lane where those damned speed humps were. Still, good to know that my brakes are in good working order... On a positive note I followed the circuit back down to North Freo and heads back home via Cottesloe and Scarborough which was far more relaxing the third time around. Plus it's nice when they leave all the traffic cones out for you allowing you and the traffic marshals still stop cars to let you roll through
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
As always, people need to ride to the conditions. It is one of those community-events sort of things we have every weekend these days. And a rare opportunities for "numpties" to stretch themselves out a bit. Anyone more serious should be aware of that already. It is unfortunate if that precludes you from the event, I'd be in it if I could be accomodated. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
Yeh swan brewery is where the first wave passed me. If its the same little group I tagged on with 2 strong riders along mc cabe st ---> a fellow bhp billiton sponsored rider and a guy wearing a red jersey (powerhouse who did a lot of the work). Group got larger as we progressed and everyone worked well 2gether / good signalling etc . Wasnt far behind when that rider went down on mends st. I 4got how severe those speed humps are along mcCallum lane, landed a little crossed up hitting the first one on the exit of a corner Nice new rims weren't too happy though! a little out of true now. Pics are up btw, going to have a look in a bit Mike
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)I chased the ride from Applecross to the end. I did the same last year and it seemed, to me, that there were a lot less riders this year. Or was it just that I was out at a different time?
Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)Apparently there was record numbers this year so can't imagine they'll be dropping prices or changing things for next year's event.
Haha, sort of an odd way of doing this but "Hi Mike". I was wearing my red Castelli jersey that day, definitely remember you and your mate in the BHP jerseys. Was good that we built that group + picked up the chap with the tri-bars, I wasn't going to survive another lap.
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
Ozzy Park? Did you get lost. Was it Mosman Park? Nice work whipping out 2 laps by the way. After a close call with pneumonia a few weeks back I nearly died doing one lap. I was 15 mins off my Ocean ride time from just over a month back. 2015 Specialized Tarmac 2012 Avanti Giro3
Re: Great Perth Bike Ride (Santos)
haha small world..... I had a chat to the bloke with the t-bars/ after the race. No way would i had survived another lap either, bad cramps towards the end / after the event. tornado: nice work

Aviva, My Love (Aviva Ahuvati)
A hotel cook who longs to eschew the demands of her job and highly eccentric family furtively dreams of becoming a successful writer in writer/director Shemi Zarhin's award-winning family drama. Between struggling to keep up with orders in the kitchen, tending to the quirky peccadilloes of her three children, and acknowledging the multiple suicide threats made by her unstable mother, aspiring writer Aviva Cohen (Assi Levy) barely has enough time to take the cap off of her pen - much less put that pen to paper and get her stories published. When Aviva's successful sister Anita (Rotem Abuhav) introduces her star-struck sibling to famous author Oded Zar (Sason Gabai) it appears as if things may be finally turning around for the hapless literary wannabe. Unfortunately for Aviva, Oded is suffering from a bad case of writer's block. Soon after accepting Oded's offer to serve as her personal writing tutor, Aviva begins to realize that the man whom she once idolized and who deviously assumed the guise of benevolent mentor is little more than a creatively devoid plagiarist.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

StaceyLong Time UserI found a tub of this on sale years ago and bought it on a whim. I have been using the same tub since. Once you get the hang of it, you won't want to use any other wax. I have figured out a system that seems to work for me. First, the wax can be messy so I put it on a paper plate in the microwave. I also do all my waxing outside in the backyard just in case there are spills, though, I did get some on a tile floor once and it came right off once hardened. (Don't get it on your clothes!) Then, I make long strips of the wax from my ankles up to my knees around my legs, bottom to top, wait a few seconds until the wax no longer sticks to my fingers and rip it off, bottom to top. And so on (Fast hurts way less). It usually takes off every hair, depending on the tempurature. I've also noticed it doesn't work as well if I'm in the sun or in a warm environment. You want it to be the consistancy of air heads taffy when you pull it off. Inevitably, little bits will be stuck to your skin when you're done. You can avoid this by not smearing the edges of the wax really thin, but rather leave the ends of the strips nice and bulky. But my solution for the remaining crumbs is lotion, which you should use anyway. Once the wax is lubricated you can pick the crumbs off with your fingernails without it sticking to anything. Also, baby powder is a handy tool for making any crumbs not sticky until they fall off on their own. If (and you will) get the wax on your fingers, simply run your hands under cold water and break it off. So by now my little tub is getting pretty gross, and I need new wax. I tried to find something around town that would be similar and I wouldn't have to order, but so far I don't know of any wax that you can reuse, that you don't need muslim for, and that is so cost effective. Think green! Recycle your wax!posted Apr 27, 2010Link to this post
NikkiBest In RemovalI have to say the people who are having trouble need to get the hang of it. Once you do, it is the BEST!posted Apr 1, 2010Link to this post
AngieThis Really Works If You Know How To Wax!!I have been using this product for years and I love it. No messy strips to use, just apply and pull. If you over heat this wax it does become runny and messy. You would just need to have it cool off before you apply it. Best tip I have is apply the oil it comes with to the area before you apply the wax, but not too much as the wax will not adhere. Then apply a thin layer of wax over area you are waxing and a little thicker on the end you are going to pull to make it easier to start the pull. Next pull as close to your skin as possible, one pull and all the hair is gone. It doesn't get any better than this!! I've used this product all over my body, even my face and I always get a smooth result that lasts weeks.posted Mar 21, 2010Link to this post
LisaMuslin Strips Make A Difference.I've used this product for legs and facial hair. I'm not able to bring myself to do my bikini line without someone else to pull the strips. Maybe I'm lacking in skill but I have poor results using this product without muslin strips. If it's cool enough to apply it hardens fairly quickly and will break when I pull it. On the other hand, if I apply a strip, it works beautifully and you don't have to be as exact with the cooling time. There is also less or no wax bits at the edges left behind. I use it primarily for eyebrows and upper lip. I've experimented on leg hair and it pulled it without a problem but there isn't much product in the jar and I would wonder if you could even complete both lower legs done with one jar. Still, even if you had to buy two jars it's a lot cheaper than professional but I think there are better products out there for that. I've been happier with this product than many others I've tried as long as I use it with strips. A yard of muslin costs about a dollar at a fabric store and will last you for many jars so why not just use it? If it gets onto clothing though, it will likely stay forever, so do it before you get dressed of wear an old robe. If it gets on a hard surface just wit for it to cool completely or even chill it with cold water or ice and it will chip off in one piece.posted Mar 20, 2010Link to this post
DawnRochester, NY USAWasted Money, Ruined My Stuffthis product is very hard to use & a waste of money. you dont get very much product for the claims it makes. worse yet, it ruined my clothes when it came in contact, was a complete mess everywhere it landed (very drippy & a nuisance), & was very hard to get off of my skin. my shower drain actually backed up because the wax that i couldnt physically manually pull off got caught in the drain. also, if you wait too long after applying to your skin, the wax hardens & brakes as you try to pull it off, turning a painful one quick rip into several painful pulls & tears. now, i dont know about any of you, but when it comes to waxing, i dont want to pull at my skin anymore times than i have to. the product only took off about 50% of the hair underneath it...you make the choice...posted Feb 1, 2010Link to this post
Umm RaniyahExcellentFor those who said it is messy you just need some practice. more than likely you over heated it. I (with the top off ) heated it up for 45 seconds then another 45 seconds stir it up then 20 seconds (remove when it get to 10 seconds). IMPORTANT FOR BIKINI AREA YOU MUST CUT HAIR LOW OR IT WILL REALLY REALLY REALLY HURT AND WHEN YOU APPLY OT LET IT HARDEN PULL FROM ANY DIRECTIONS IT ALL COMES OFFposted Oct 28, 2009Link to this post
JessicaBest Wax On The MarketI have tried many waxes and surgi-wax is the one that sticks to hair only and rips it off with no muslin strips. Requires many heats but only one wax! So worth it.posted Oct 24, 2009Link to this post
AnaNot Worth AnythingThis wax is not good, its too soft...it doesn't hold on to the hairs. You pull the wax off and it just pulls the hairs but doesn't pull them off. You have to wax one area a number of times to get the job done. Its NOT worth it.posted Sep 28, 2009Link to this post
ReginaHorrible...damaged My SkinIt was very very messy when trying to remove. It made my skin for many days. Even the hair that regrew were sharp stubs and stubborn. Never had such a horrible experience before with any other method.posted Sep 17, 2009Link to this post
GwenBrooklyn, NYMessyI had to reheat several times. The process was messy and painful around the Bikini area. Hated it!posted Aug 26, 2009Link to this post

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley today signed into law his state's first private school choice program—a K–12 tuition tax credit—avoiding what was perhaps the most ridiculous attempt yet to thwart efforts to enact a voucher or tax-credit plan anywhere.
Bentley put his signature on the Alabama Accountability Act one day after the state's Supreme Court lifted a restraining order that prevented him from even getting the bill, which passed two weeks ago along party lines. The Alabama Education Association had convinced a state judge last week to block legislative staffers from sending the bill to the governor, arguing that too many Republican lawmakers privately discussed rewriting a separate measure to include the tax credit without calling a public meeting.
The Alabama Supreme Court sensibly determined that the restraining order issued by Judge Charles Price was "premature." The bill hadn't even become law, and according to the top justices, there was no "existing case or controversy" that needed adjudicating.
In other words, there was no one harmed. As political scientist Joshua Dunn noted, courts don't typically intrude in the internal workings of a state legislature, as a matter of separation of powers. The notion that the teacher union might have suffered "irreparable harm" without the restraining order (Judge Price's words) was ludicrous.
Now that the bill is law, Bentley and others who supported the tax credit can expect a lawsuit. And families whose children are zoned to a failing public school and who are hoping for the private school...
Farce has been standard fare in litigation over school choice since the Supreme Court's 2002 decision in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris upholding the constitutionality of vouchers. At the time of Zelman, chief counsel for the National Education Association (NEA) said the organization would rely on "Mickey-Mouse provisions" in state constitutions to attack choice programs. No claim was too ridiculous. But farce doesn't seem to capture what happened last week in Alabama.
Two weeks ago, the Alabama House and Senate passed the Alabama Accountability Act, giving parents with children in failing schools a tax credit for tuition at a private school. The bill passed by 2-1 margins in both houses of the Republican-controlled legislature. Naturally, organizations such as the Alabama Education Association (AEA), opposed as they are to letting students escape miserably failing schools, howled that the measure violated state law. But this time, rather than at least having the decency to sue once the legislation was signed, the AEA decided to lawyer up before it even reached the governor's desk.
Initially, the act was called the School Flexibility Act and did not include tax credits. After the House and Senate passed different versions of the act, the conference committee added the tax-credit provision and changed the name....
It's not often a piece of legislation is challenged in court before it becomes law. But since Alabama teacher unions and school boards are so intent on quashing any alternative to the traditional school district, they have marshaled every resource to defeat what should be the state's first private school choice plan.
When Republicans passed a tuition tax credit late last week, the Alabama Education Association cried foul and took the GOP to court, claiming that legislative leaders violated the state's Open Meetings Act by privately discussing the measure and tacking it on at the last minute to an entirely different education bill. This afternoon, a state judge gave the union a temporary victory and forbade the governor from signing the bill until next week when a hearing determines what will happen next.
Not to be sidelined, the Alabama Association of Schools Boards and the School Superintendents of Alabama have sent Governor Robert Bentley a joint letter urging him to reject the measure, using faulty assumptions to claim that such a law would reduce education funding by tens of millions of dollars.
The harm done to these parties is real only if one assumes that every education dollar is theirs to begin with. And to the state's public education establishment, that has been the assumption. Whether lawmakers or school-choice advocates are proposing tax credit scholarships or charter schools, they can expect a fight—not just from the unions and the school boards, but from the Alabama Department of Education,...
The latest study from the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) has profound implications for the artificial cap on charter school growth in Massachusetts. According to the report (released today), the typical charter school student gains about one and a half more months of learning in a year in reading than students in a typical district school and two and a half more months of learning in math. The gains in Boston were even more pronounced: twelve months of additional learning in a year in reading for charter students and thirteen months more in math.
Yet there remain 45,000 students in Massachusetts waiting for a seat in a charter school, thanks mostly to a state-imposed cap on the number of charter schools that can operate in Boston and other low-performing districts. State education officials have been authorizing schools where they can, approving five new charter schools this week and expanding eleven others, but there still isn't enough supply; the new openings are expected to serve just 3,100 students, half of them in Boston.
"The more schools we open, the longer the waiting list gets," Massachusetts Charter Public School Association director Marc Kenen told the Boston Globe this week.
The absurdity of the cap becomes more apparent with the achievement gains Bay State charters are showing. Eighty-three percent of Boston charter schools have significantly more positive learning gains than their district-school peers in reading and math, and no Boston charters had significantly lower gains, according to...
This extensive evaluation of KIPP charter schools, conducted by Mathematica, will impress even the staunchest KIPP skeptics. The study employed two study designs: The researchers compared the cohorts of forty-one KIPP middle schools (more than half of the total KIPP schools) to students in local non-KIPP schools. They also compared KIPP lottery winners in thirteen oversubscribed schools to non-winners. The upshot? Over a three- to four-year span, KIPP students achieved between eight and fourteen months of additional learning growth compared to their non-KIPP-attending peers. These findings hold across all four core subjects for both state tests and a nationally normed, low-stakes exam (meant to test higher-order thinking skills). What's more, the researchers included students who left their KIPP schools prior to eighth grade, making these effects a valid measure of anyone who has ever enrolled in these middle schools. But while the academic gains of KIPPsters are unimpeachable, the schools' affects on student attitudes may not be. Apparently, KIPP increases students' likelihood of arguing, lying to their parents, and losing their temper, according to student surveys—though one has to wonder if KIPP students are simply more likely than non-KIPPsters to own up to such behaviors.

The nation was perhaps too preoccupied with Marco Rubio's gulp heard 'round the world to notice that the senator, immediately after his Republican response to the president's State of the Union address Tuesday, released a far-reaching federal school-choice plan. And that's too bad, for what has emerged this week is the most sweeping congressional idea to empower disadvantaged kids with private school alternatives since the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program.
Just as many states now make available tax credit scholarships—cousins to school vouchers—Rubio would empower individuals or corporations to contribute money to nonprofit "scholarship granting organizations" in return for a tax credit—anywhere in the nation. Those scholarship groups would, in turn, help low-income kids cover the tuition at a private school of their choice.
This is an ambitious plan, but one that would surely face resistance in a Democratically controlled senate that has repeatedly dogged the D.C. voucher program. And while that would not be surprising, it would surely be disappointing, for it would further widen the gulf between the national Democratic Party and a growing number of state Democrats on this issue.
A lot of those state Democrats are in Florida, where Rubio served as House Speaker from 2007...
Hurrah for Scott Pearson, the executive director of the D.C. Charter School Board, for pointing out the guile of several Washington, D.C., leaders who want to "manage" the accelerating charter school growth in the city under the guise of collaboration. Joint efforts between city, district, and charter leaders are good if they lead to more and better options for all students, but some key city officials sound more like they're trying to put a brake on the charter momentum.
When the latest figures from D.C. showed that the number of charter school students increased by 10 percent to 34,673 students, it brought the charter school market share of public education in the city to 43 percent. This led David A. Catania, the chairman of the D.C. Council's new education committee, to tell the Washington Post on Sunday that there ought to be a way to help charter schools and district schools learn to co-exist, even if that means "a momentary pause" on charter growth. Similarly, Mayor Vincent C. Gray wants his education cabinet to develop a coordinated "road map for public education" in the city.
Pearson was right to challenge statements like these, telling Post reporter Emma Brown, "I'm not interested in joint planning as a cover to put some sort of moratorium on charters."
Indeed, any hint that charter growth should slow or "pause" in the spirit of collaboration ignores a fundamental reality: D.C. charters are building enough leverage to lead any conversation on collaboration...
The One Million Lives Campaign launched in the fall by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers has captured popular (and media) attention, mostly for its call to shutter the worst-performing charter schools. But that's only half of its purpose. The point of "One Million Lives," as its name suggests, is to create the conditions that allow a million kids a seat in at least 3,000 high-performing schools.
So let's take a moment to consider the other half of this worthy effort. Parker Baxter, NACSA's Director of Knowledge and one of the charter movement's smarter thinkers on growth and accountability, has taken to the Dell Foundation's blog to encourage authorizers and policy makers to find ways to replace bad charter schools with good charter schools.
As hard as it's been to close bad schools, nurturing high-flying charters is at least as tricky: It takes wherewithal, political capital, and—above all—interest, or at least the adoption of laws and practices that provide an easier path for high-flying charters to prosper. Baxter recognizes this and points out some more obvious steps to quality (approving new schools carefully and establishing high standards for performance), while urging states to consider more relatively difficult ideas to...
This report from Stanford's Center for Research on Education Outcomes (widely known as CREDO) investigates, among other questions, whether it's possible to predict the long-term academic success (or failure) of a charter school during its early years. The authors examined five years' worth of data from more than 1,300 schools run by 167 charter-management organizations (CMOs) and 410 schools run by education-management organizations (EMOs). (Per CREDO, a CMO directly operates the schools in its network; an EMO contracts with a governing authority to operate the school.) To assess the quality of these outfits, CREDO paired charter-going students with "virtual twins" from their neighborhood district school. The analysts offer four key findings. First, initial signs of school quality are predictive of later performance: Roughly 80 percent of charter schools in the bottom quintile of performance during its first year of operation remain low performers through their fifth year. And 94 percent of schools that begin in the top quintile stay there over time. (Of course, we know from our experience as an Ohio charter authorizer that there are exceptions to this rule.) Second—as we've heard before—CMO quality varies greatly: Across the management organizations that were examined, 43 percent outpace the learning gains of their local district schools in reading and 37 percent do so in math. Yet a third have average gains that are worse in reading, and half do worse in math. Third, the quality of a replica charter is roughly the same as the flagship school—two-thirds of CMOs...
No single philanthropic organization has put more effort and money into the advancement and improvement of school choice—both public and private—than the Walton Family Foundation, which just announced total education-reform outlays in 2012 totaling $158 million. That represents about 37 percent of Walton's total philanthropic investment during the year. (In second place are freshwater conservation and other environmental concerns.).
While Walton is frequently lauded (and attacked) for its contributions to efforts that shape education policy (contributions that totaled $61 million last year, a bit of that to the Thomas B. Fordham Institute), far more went to foster quality schooling.
For instance, nearly $15 million went to the Charter School Growth Fund, a nonprofit venture-capital group that works to expand the number of seats in high-performing charter networks (a mission the fund has executed with notable success, as attested in the new CREDO report on charter school growth and quality). About $8.4 million went to the acclaimed KIPP Foundation and $3.2 million to the highly regarded school-leadership group called Building Excellent Schools. A whopping $24 million went to groups like the National Association of Charter School Authorizers and various state-level charter associations to improve existing schools. So while it's true that the foundation has, through its largesse, advanced our public policies in ways that enhance parental choice, it has also focused its ambitions and its very substantial checkbook on quality choice, particularly for underserved children.
Much of this, other large philanthropies would shun as too...

For those who want to know what happened anyway, in advance of the minutes, here's the scoop: Oil & gas exploration-Some three hours were spent discussing Petro-Lewis Company's intention to explore on the Reservation. Dr. Al Spang, BIA Superintendent, addressed the Council about his concerns, then three company representatives gave details. The final agreement was debated a bit, then accepted unanimously by the Council. Comprehensive Planning Committee-After lunch, two department heads were requested to serve on the committee.

Dissatisfied with the incumbent's work, a motion was made to request that the man be transferred elsewhere so a new person can step in. TERS Board-Parents aren't noticeably willing to serve on the Two Eagle River School Board. Councilman Noel Pichette felt that the current recruiting system-where the tribal Personnel Dept. screens applications-might be at fault. He decided to speak to various parents in an attempt to drum up more participation. The meeting adjouned shortly before 2 p.m. Arlee Quarterly poorly attended Attendance at the Arlee Quarterly was so poorly attended this year that the Council adjourned at 11:00 a.m. after two hours of business.

Bailey, Westbrook square off in Reds-Cards finale
Neither the Reds' Homer Bailey nor the Cardinals' Jake Westbrook was particularly sharp in his season debut, yet neither one gave up an earned run.
Bailey and Westbrook will square off on Wednesday afternoon at Busch Stadium in the finale of a three-game series, perhaps looking to find better means to the same end. They also will be battling to secure a series win after their teams split the first two games.
Bailey put up a strong line in a 15-0 win over the Nationals on Friday, holding Washington to two hits and three walks while striking out six. But he said afterward that he didn't feel at his best, relying heavily on an effective fastball that he pushed up to 95 mph.
"The fastball was pretty good," Bailey said. "It felt like we were always in fastball counts. Very early in the game, I was going with what was working."
The 26-year-old right-hander will be trying to extend a streak of 19 consecutive scoreless regular-season innings, which goes back to last year.
Westbrook battled his mechanics in San Francisco on Friday, when he threw 116 pitches and walked six batters in 6 2/3 innings. The righty allowed one unearned run and struck out one in a 1-0 defeat.
He attributed the control problems to an issue with his delivery, which messed with his release point. That left his go-to pitch, the sinker, more erratic than usual.
"It was a grind. It was a battle," Westbrook said. "I felt like with me fighting my delivery the way I was, to only give up one run was pretty good. You can't really expect to win a ballgame walking six guys, and that's something I need to do a better job of."
Reds: Choo sparking lineup
• Cincinnati acquired Shin-Soo Choo this offseason to fill its leadoff spot, and the center fielder has been fulfilling his mission of getting on base. With a 2-for-4 game on Tuesday, Choo extended his hitting streak to six games and has reached base safely in all eight contests.
Choo currently sports a .512 on-base percentage, a year after Cincinnati leadoff men combined for a .254 OBP.
• Second baseman Brandon Phillips went 0-for-3 on Tuesday, snapping a six-game hitting streak in which he was 11-for-27 (.407) with four doubles and two home runs. He did drive in the club's lone run in the 5-1 loss with a sacrifice fly.
Cardinals: Freese slated to be back in lineup
• Third baseman David Freese didn't play on Tuesday, a day after making his first appearance of the season following a stint on the disabled list. But manager Mike Matheny said the decision was more about matchups than any physical problems with Freese.
Freese said he came out of his first game feeling good. He is expected to start on Wednesday against Bailey, against whom he is 3-for-14 with two home runs.
• An MRI on closer Jason Motte's elbow revealed a low-grade ligament tear, which could lead to season-ending Tommy John surgery. For now, the right-hander has been shut down with the hope he can resume a throwing program by May 1.
In the meantime, Matheny is trying to figure out what to do with a bullpen that has been struggling in Motte's absence. There was improvement on Tuesday, when Edward Mujica, Trevor Rosenthal and Mitchell Boggs combined for three shutout innings
Worth noting
• Bailey is 3-7 with a 5.00 ERA in 13 career starts against the Cardinals and 0-3 with a 5.49 mark in five outings at Busch Stadium. Matt Holliday, Yadier Molina and Freese all have notched two homers off Bailey, with Holliday hitting .440 (11-for-25).
• Westbrook owns a 3.90 ERA in 10 career games against the Reds, including 2.51 over two outings last year. Chris Heisey has reached him for three home runs in 12 at-bats.

evaluate the given form in Lisp
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS
. The lisp
command is mainly of interest for side
effects. See also print
, skip
, and fail
The rest of the documentation for lisp
is of interest only to
those who use it in macro commands. If the Lisp evaluation (by
) of form returns an ``error triple'' of the form
(mv erp ((NIL NIL STATE) . (erp-1 val-1 &)) state)
, then the
command returns the appropriate error triple
(mv (or erp erp-1) val-1 state) .Otherwise, the
of form must return an ``error triple''
of the form (mv erp (cons stobjs-out val) &)
, and the lisp
command returns the appropriate error triple
(mv erp val state).
Note that the output signature of the form has been lost. The user
must know the signature in order to use the output of the lisp
command. Trans-eval, which is undocumented except by comments in
the ACL2 source code, has replaced, in val
, any occurrence of
the current state or the current values of stobjs by simple symbols
such as REPLACED-STATE
. The actual values of these objects may
be recovered, in principle, from the state
returned and the
within that state. However, in practice, the
stobjs cannot be recovered because the user is denied access to
. The moral is: do not try to write macro
commands that manipulate stobjs. Should the returned val
contain REPLACED-STATE
the value may simply be ignored and
used, since that is what REPLACED-STATE

2007 Grand National Roadster Show - Saturday Coverage
Written by The Rod & Custom Staff on January 18, 2007If you were in Southern California Saturday morning there was no better place to be than in Pomona for the Grand National Roadster Show. Building Nine was stuffed with people getting a look at a once-in-a-lifetime assembly of about 60 of the Top 75 Deuces as well as the 10 Deuce pedal cars built by some of the top builders of today.
The Cruise-in was filling up the areas around the buildings with hot rods that were driving in, many of which would look equally at home on a turntable inside. Check back later as we bring more coverage of these drivers.
America's Most Beautiful Roadster is the most prestigious prize at the Grand National Roadster Show, perhaps the most prestigious award in the hobby. Here is the slate for this year's AMBR award. Which do you think will roll out of here with the trophy?


text: The Kanotix default install has got no virtuoso-minimal installed btw. That means no background processes that index the data by default. It is no problem to use a netbook with KDE 4 with it that way - 1 gb ram is definitely enough. Only when you have got a cpu with many cores and you want to use gcc with more theads this can be a problem. Like when you run make -j8 on a system with 2 gb ram and you want to surf in the net the same time then your ram will be full. So best is to have at least 1/2 * cores (including ht) gb ram when you want to compile without swap.

We also saw the John Lennon wall and took a boat ride on the river, even going down some canals to see Prague Venice (a tiny bit of Prague that looks like Venice). The city is very pretty and we got a whole new perspective of it by going on the river.

The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. View the Strategy & Risks section for this fund for more information.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.
An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. As a measure of current income, seven-day yield is more reflective of the fund's income generating ability than total return. Yield fluctuates.
Notes & Disclosures
- Any order in proper form placed with Dreyfus by 5:00 PM ET and for which Federal Funds are received by 6:00 PM ET will be effective on that date. Investors will earn the dividend declared on that day.
- Daily and 30-day yield quotations may reflect current expense absorptions, without which performance would have been lower. You should discuss with Dreyfus or your advisor your initial investment amount, time horizon, and other relevant factors in selecting a fund for investment.
- Subsidized yield may reflect the waiver of receipt of a portion of the management fee, and/or a reimbursement of fund expenses, by The Dreyfus Corporation, which would have the effect of lowering the fund's expense ratio and generating a higher yield.

Our angel is in heaven, he is our protector, especially for his dad. This is Grandma's memorial for Baby G so that family and friends can see photos of our precious angel.
Tribute created by:
Oh my baby! I remember when I found out that your life had began inside me! I was so excited, i cried!!! I told daddy and he was alittle scared! I spent 9 months bonding with you through pregnancy, listening to your heartbeats, watching all the hills you created inside my belly, feeling all the hickups and enduring all the pain from you beating in my ribs!! - It was all worth it and I would do it all over again for you! I love you so much my baby. I am there at your spot every single day like I promised you angel. Mommy's heart is hurting so badly my love, I love you and your brother and sister miss you so much, Lorenzo miss's feeding you and holding you after school. But I tell them that you are an angel watching over us. I see your daddy every time I look at you and I see you everytime I look at him, thats when its very hard for me. Forever and ever my Gionno Ray...
I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on you my angel. It took me back to when your dad was born. The joy I felt at being a grandma again was unbelievable. I now had two precious grandsons. I wanted to spoil you just like I spoiled Skyler. When your dad and I went to buy you your bedding I was more than eager to give you the most gorgeous blanket to keep you warm at night.
The smell of innocence was so powerful that day when I first held you in my arms. At that moment I was immersed in heavenly joy. Your soft velvety cheeks next to mine, your head full of black curly hair just like dad, these are the memorizes that will last a lifetime.
I didn't spend enough time with you, but I will cherish the moments we did have together because you will always be the love of my life.
