Lightweight, good-looking lid
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've worn multiple helmet models from multiple makers over the last 18 years - Bell, Giro, Briko, you name it. I've never owned a Catlike until now and can honestly say its the best helmet I've owned. I find the venting better than top-end models from other makers, its comfortable, lightweight and fits my head perfectly. As another reviewer mentioned, the retention system looks a little simplistic, but it actually performs better than some other companies' designs.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I own a Bell Volt, Giro Atmos and Catlike Mixino along with my Catlike Whisper Plus, and I can honestly say that the Whisper Plus is the most comfortable helmet of the lot. It's certainly not the lightest as the Mixino takes that spot. However, what it lacks in the "lightweight" category is more than made up for in the "comfort" category. In other words, it fits my head like a glove. The Mixino and Atmos feel very similar in that they both put pressure on the side of my head. They're more suited for someone with an oblong / elliptical-shaped head, while the Whisper Plus is more suited for someone with a rounder head (when viewed from the top). Aside from the comfort, the Whisper Plus is very distinctive as it doesn't look like any other helmet in the market. What's not to like?
However, If I were being nit picky, I would say that the rear band adjuster on the Whisper Plus is not the easiest to operate. I prefer the micro-dial adjuster on the Mixino and Atmos. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my Whisper Plus. So happy, in fact, that I ended up buying another one tonight.
Exceeded expectations.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Have been a Specialized helmet wearer over the last decade. Before that GIRO. Always bought the top-level helmets in both brands when on sale.
Saw these helmets being use in the Tour De France by a few different teams and thought they were worth a look as I was due for a new 'pot'.
I have a small skull (Size 7-1/4) and have always wore a small in Specialized and GIRO. A small in this helmet fit just fine. The ventilation is better than any other helmet I have owned and the fit very comfortable. There are a myriad of adjustments for rear restraint and straps. Little hard to dial-in but work just fine once ya do. Bought white with World Champion striping. A little different and pretty stylish without screaming BIKE GEEK/POSER!!!
Bought the helmet @ 50% off here at Backcountry. WELL worth it, maybe even at full price. Get some.
Andrew Swindle
Great lightweight lid
When I first got the Whisper Plus I was unimpressed at first glance. The simple sizing closure at the rear seemed chincy and not the quality that I expected. Getting the straps dialed to my head wasn't the easiest either. But once I got it dialed and took it for a spin, all of my reservations were put to rest. This thing is made light and simple for a reason. I dont even feel it on my head. The slender lines of the size adjustments above the ears and back of the head are minimal, which provides a great fit with glasses that cover the same temple area. I am a fan and would recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight streamline helmet.

This helmet has better air flow than others I have tried. Just the ticket for summer heat.
Middle bike, there's the Catlike
In from the ride.
Catlike Movistar
I smashed my beautiful new las helmet in a hard fall. It was a Tuesday and managed to get home. Found this catlike at a great deal from here and ordered it Tuesday afternoon. It arrived Thurssday Noon. Incredible service.
The Helmet is light, and fits perfectly. The size is accurate, so don't under estimate the size of your noggin.

Lots of air flow, not much sweat
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a superb bike helmet, the best I have ever worn. I've been wearing the size small for two months now and have put about 700 miles on it.
In those 700 miles, I haven't had a single drop of sweat make it past the brow of the helmet and down to my eyes, and I sweat like a nun in a whorehouse. I think this must have to do with the airflow but maybe it's the fit of the helmet on my forehead. My hair gets wet with sweat, but no extra drops make it out of the helmet. The airflow is just outstanding. I do have a theoretical worry about a bee getting turbo blasted into my scalp but so far this hasn't happened.
I've worn this thing for as long as 6 hours without headaches and I wasn't dying to take it off. The helmet is light and doesn't block my field of view.
My only nitpick is that the buckles that hold the strap together just below your ear is a bit flimsy and sometimes the camming part of the buckle pops off if you are making an adjustment. If you dial in this adjustment at home then you don't have to worry about it.
This helmet might favor those with a roundish head. My head mostly makes contact in the front and back and less so on the sides, so if you have a more oval head it may not feel so secure on your noggin.
I have the 2011 version but I don't see any difference in the 2012 except for that it comes with a cocoon to protect your "investment".
OK. Time to follow up on this helmet. I crashed into a car and flew over the hood and landed on the asphalt face and collarbone first. I heard a crack but I thought it was my cheek or collarbone. Came home, took a shower and looked over the helmet. Sure enough it was cracked fore and aft. I hadn't even realized that my helmet hit, but that Whisper Plus did kiss the pavement and kept my skull from doing so. Thank you Cateye. I can still tie my shoes and feed myself!
Excellent helmet, but too small
I really wished I could have kept this helmet, but even the large size was too small. I use a Large Giro which goes up to 63cm, but the Large Catlike only goes up to 61cm :-(
hey, what happened, buy a helmet with rainbow but does not look like the picture on your page
Brad Grunau
What would this be like on a rainy day?...
What would this be like on a rainy day? I've an image in mind with me having my new helmet on with my mother's blue hair net thing that keeps her hair dry while showering, overtop of the helmet as so much water is flowing through all those holes?
Could be a cool new look HOWEVER, not sure if I want to start the trend here on the "Wet Coast", Vancouver, B.C.
My husband has this helmet. It doesn't have any more ventilation/holes than any other bike helmet. If you're wearing a road cycling style helmet, there are vent holes in the top and you're going to get wet if it rains. He says it's very comfortable and lightweight, although the fit is a little different than typical Bell/Giro helmets so you should measure your head to find the size rather than just buying your regular size. Or maybe try it on in a shop before ordering.
P.S. The look is not new. The Tour de France riders have been wearing this style for about three years, though it hasn't been available from North American retailers until a little more recently.

A "seldom-seen" maneuver when you put your testicles over her eye sockets while getting head. (Picture it:ass on forehead) It may be anatomically impossilbe, but what the fuck else is new.
I gave her a fat pair of Arabian Goggles last night.

While all definitions below are true, no one has said why the goggles are 'arabian'. Here's why: during middle eastern sandstorms, a good and loving husband will give his wife the goggles so she doesn't get sand in her eyes. Most of the other definitions make it seem like it's rude or funny to give someone the arabian goggles, but that's not how it started. It's actually something only a true gentleman would do.
Girl 1: So you met him at the beach? Does he like you??
Girl 2: Like me? I think he loves me! He lent me his arabian goggles when the wind kicked up!
Girl 1: What a gentleman!

When your testicles are placed over a woman's eye sockets while she performs fellatio.
During an act of fellatio,the woman lies on her back on a bed, couch, etc. while the man receives oral sex. During this the testicles will cover the woman's eyes. During deep throat penetration the testicles will 'smack' the woman's eyes repeatedly.
Ex: Yo dude I had Jessa laying on her back with her head hanging off the couch and I throat fucked her and gave her the Arabian Goggles.

SOAPSUDS HOLLOW: 7-Up floats at Ken's still bring smile to columnist's face
Some childhood experiences stay with a person for a lifetime. You never know when something you do for someone else will be one of those experiences for them.Back in the 1960's, there were two grocery stores in Dell Rapids - Ken's Super Saver and Mart's Market. There were also separate meat markets and the bakery. A shopper might get their meat from Jack Zylstra, their bread from Oscar Emly and their eggs from a local farm, but other food needs were usually met at one of the two grocery stores.The Super Saver was located in the building which is now the Museum. Ken and LaVonne Miller lived at the north end of the street where I grew up, and the Miller kids all had to put in some time at the store. In fact, Doug sacked so many potatoes that he is still known as "Spud."Ken's Super Saver had an open house once, with free 7-Up floats. Kids could come in and get a small plastic cup filled with a little bit of vanilla ice cream and the uncola, a 7-Up float. We were even allowed to come back for more. It was the talk of the town for the kids. This past summer provided some rather hot days, and ice cream has always been a favorite way for me to cool off. It might be a stop at the DQ, or cashing in on a sale at County Fair, but there were days when I just had to have some ice cream to beat the heat.I bumped into a childhood buddy from the old neighborhood a couple of months ago, and we were visiting about the heat wave and ice cream, and Ken Miller's name came up. Nearly fifty years later, we still lit up like little kids when we reminisced about those free 7-Up floats at Ken's Super Saver.We decided to unofficially change the name of 7-Up floats because of those freebies from our childhood. Now on a very hot day, we invite each other to have a "Ken Miller."

Scientific Glassware is a fast-growing, privately held company that provides specialized glassware for laboratory and research facilities. Excess inventory is tying up extra capital needed to fund the company's expansion plans. The newly hired Manager of Inventory Planning is tasked with developing an effective strategy for managing inventory without requiring additional capital investment. The company has launched several initiatives, such as adding a dedicated domestic sales force, which directly affect inventory requirements. At the same time, the company has announced a commitment to improve customer responsiveness and reduce the "fill rate," the time it takes to fulfill new orders. These changes may require adding warehouses or outsourcing fulfillment services. This case focuses on the business challenges of inventory control and order processing, particularly the tradeoffs between centralized and decentralized inventories. Students must complete a quantitative analysis of the costs and benefits of several alternatives.
Subjects Include: logistics, inventory control, order processing, inventory management, fulfillment, warehouses, and materials management.
learning objective:
1. Explore the challenges of inventory control and order processing. 2. Develop and analyze an inventory management strategy in which several options are theoretically possible. 3. Understand the relationships among finance, sales, and operations management as they apply to inventory control.

Oh, yeah, Alex Cross is a brilliant detective, all right. He has such Sherlockian intuition in "Alex Cross" you might almost imagine he read the James Patterson novel the movie is based on — except that the movie isn't based on a Patterson book, just on the character played by Morgan Freeman in "Kiss the Girls" (1997) and "Along Came a Spider" (2001). The movie is intended as a career crossover for Tyler Perry, whose legions of fans may be surprised to find him falling through the ceiling of a Detroit movie theater and clinging by his fingertips while a serial killer clings to him.
Perry plays Cross, a police detective able to walk onto the scene of a sadistic torture and murder and explain the killer's nature, motive and psychotic traits. That knack comes in handy toward the end of the film, when whole square blocks of the city are shut down to protect a French billionaire who plans to rebuild Detroit. Where could the killer, nicknamed "Picasso," possibly be hiding? "On the train," Cross immediately announces. This man is as brilliant at explaining a modus operandi as Perry Mason with only four minutes left in the show.
The killer is a wicked piece of work, who first appears as the Butcher of Sligo at a private cage-arena fight in order to win the attention of the billionaire's mistress, who is turned on by brutal bloodshed. He's played by Matthew Fox, who you have seen many times but never like this. He has lost so much weight and added so many muscles that the veins creep across his arms like worms just beneath the surface. (The Frenchman, oddly, is played by the action star Jean Reno, who seems to have taken the weight Fox lost and added it to his face and neck).
It's the cops who nickname the Butcher "Picasso," because of the charcoal drawings he leaves behind at his crimes. They provide clues perhaps no one could possibly figure out, except Alex Cross — and every kid who ever read Mad magazine. Remember those back-cover drawings that you could fold so the right and left sides would overlap and make a new drawing? Eureka! Cross has broken the code!
The direction by Rob Cohen is so careless that the film's climax is set up by a car crash that, if I am not mistaken, is completely coincidental. A hand-to-hand struggle between cop and killer is shot in Queasycam so murky, it's impossible to follow. The Detroit locations, such as the old Michigan Theater, are effective unless you notice some of the exteriors show Cleveland. (I've been to downtown Detroit, and Senator, this isn't Detroit.)
"Alex Cross" is a disjointed thriller with too many characters rattling around, including Cross' partner (Edward Burns), his inexplicably domineering and bossy mother (Cecily Tyson) and his sweet wife (Carmen Ejogo), who doesn't want him to take the FBI job in Washington and make their kids leave school. There is also John C. McGinley as the mean and nasty police chief, who at one point tells Cross and his partner, "You're dismissed." Say what? Is this a version of the cop movie cliche where they're made to turn in their guns and badges, or simply an imprecise word choice?
This is the first film Tyler Perry has appeared in that isn't his own personal work. He is best known, of course, as Madea, the 6-foot-5 matriarch Perry plays as a cross-dressing signature role. "Alex Cross" would perhaps have been much improved with Medea in the title role.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Daily OCD: 2/16/10 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under reviews, Ho Che Anderson, Daily OCD, audio, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Al Columbia | 16 Feb 2010 4:42 PM |
Meaty Online Commentary & Diversions today:
• List: The Browser's Roland Chambers talks to comics scholar and junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows Hillary Chute about her top five graphic narratives, including Aline Kominsky-Crumb's Love That Bunch: "To me, Aline is one of the most important figures in comics, which isn't to say that she's one of the most well-known. She's not. But her comics have inspired a legion of cartoonists working in comics autobiography: specifically women cartoonists, because Aline published the first ever autobiographical comic from a woman's point of view."
• Review: "King has long been a figure so ubiquitous in American culture that little of his true self remains in his frequently invoked image and words. Anderson does the man a favor by taking a spiky, fractured approach to his subject and refusing to plant a halo on his troubled head. ... Though all the great moments of his civil rights battle are here (from the March on Washington to his less-successful housing campaign in Chicago), Anderson doesn't resort to the cheap cinematic trick of success and fadeout. There is more disappointment here than celebration, suffused with the sorrowful sense of a long, long battle just barely begun. A crowning achievement, like the man it portrays." – Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
• Review: "...Columbia's most disturbing material yet. ... he remains one of the finest horrorists (if such a word exists and I may be allowed to use it) working in comics today, far exceeding what is generally held to be the standard of excellence in the genre, via his ability to convey a terrible sense of dread and foreboding. ... As disjointed and narratively frustrating as Pim and Francie can be at times, it remains a stunning and haunting work that preys on your mind long after you've finished it. The successive wave upon wave of unsettling imagery builds upon subsequent page to suggest a world of constant pain and surreal terror, where hiding places are few and far between. ... The sheer level of craftsmanship and imagination on display makes this a book well worth reading for those who can bear its mordant message." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Interview: The Sidebar comics podcast chats with Ho Che Anderson about his new books King: The Special Edition and Sand & Fury as well as his transition into filmmaking, among other topics

How big a hole in drywall can be fixed by spackle alone? The previous owners left numerous holes in drywall the diameter of a coax cable which I want to patch up. Can I just use spackle to bridge the gap. Or perhaps I can press fit a piece of wooden down to form a firm base for spackle?
I don't think you'll be happy with spackle for anything bigger across than a nail hole. It's not very strong, and also not very sticky. So what tends to happen in your situation is that the spackle will fall through the hole into the wall; if not when you're applying it then it will be likely to do it when you try to sand it smooth before you paint. I think the solution that's going to get you the best results for holes that size would be to cut a 2" square of fiberglass drywall joint tape and stick it over the hole, and then use joint compound to fill the hole and cover the tape, feathering it out to a 6-8" diameter circle. You can do this reasonably well with a cheap 4" putty knife. Then sand it smooth, being careful not to sand all the way through to the tape. |
For something that small the spackle should be fine by itself. You might want to fill the whole with spackle first and let it dry, as some will tend to want to bubble out. Once it is dry sand it down and then put on a second (hopefully final) coat of spackle. |
(I am assuming the "spackle" is US for filler.) Have a firm base for filler does help, as you need to be able to push on the filler to get it well into the side of the holes. However as it is not the end of the world if the filler breaks when you try to send it, I would try the easy option first. For larger holes I have built up with layers of filler passed into the side of the hole then left to dry for a day before doing the next layer. This sounds like a real pain, however if you have lots of holes and you don't need them fixed today, you can just walk round your house each day making each hole a bit smaller. The key is to push the filler well into the side of the hole so it grips well, trying not to have it coming to far in front of the wall, so as to reduce the amount of sending you will need to do. (No professional would do this, as it need to many visits, but you have not travel costs to your own house) Pushing newspaper or a sponge through the hole so it expands behind to provide a base for the first layer of filler has also worked for me in the past. However if the hole is more than about 2cm across, you should be fixing a hard backing of some sort. |
For a hole the size of a coax cable, I would just spackle. Any larger and I would use drywall compound. It make take a couple of coats. If its up to the size of a nickle (3/4 of an inch), I would put a piece of fiberglass tape over it like Mike suggests. If its larger than that, I would cut a small piece of drywall and tap it into the whole. Here's two tricks: 1)cust the piece of drywall slightly larger than the hole, then trace around it to mark what to cutout on your wall. Use a razord blade knife or drywall saw to cut your wall, or score and snap. Two, put a drywall screw into the scrap you are adding, to hold it while putting the first coat of drywall compound on. |
I have used a wadded up piece of newspaper pushed into a hole this size. It provided a backer for the spackle or joint compound. As mentioned by the other posters, you need several coats then sand it smooth. |
Spackle on it's own will work just fine for small holes. For larger holes shoving paper into the hole frequently results in lots of paper inside the wall cavity before you get it sitting just right for patching. At least that's how it goes for me. For holes that might be too gig for just spackle, yet a bit small for drywall tape, one trick I've not seen mentioned before is to use a use a piece of stocking/pantyhose, say about an inch or two across. Rather than just stuffing it into the hole, put it into the spackle so that it.s well covered, then make a ball out of it and put that in he hole. Once it has gone firm you can put a little more spackle over the top to finish it off. This works much like the fibers in fiberglass. |
This is kind of going the other way from what you are asking, but have you considered putting a "remodel box" like this "Super Blue Hardshell" box from Carlon: and then putting a cover on it, possibly with a blank faceplate or a coax terminal? You would end up cutting a larger hole, the size of the box, then you push the box through and turn the screws to lift up the "flag" (dark blue in the photo above" and pull it towards the drywall from the back to secure it in place. If you don't have any interest in having coax in these places, perhaps the coax could be used to pull Ethernet network wiring or something else that you'd find useful in these locations? I did this when we moved into our house, to bring Ethernet and phone to places where we didn't have it before, and these boxes look very nice when done. It looks like any other electrical or phone outlet you'd have in the house. You can get modular faceplates with one or multiple holes to mount various networking, phone, audio and video cables in, for example this coax/HDMI/Ethernet example from Wisdom Electronics: |
I'm not sure what you mean by "spackle" but I've had good luck sealing smaller holes with Polyfilla - you might have to do it in a couple of passes, but it'll do a 1" hole without any problems. |

I was really interested to read a previous review where the reviewer was using these chocolate shavings to make a hot chocolate drink. I've only ever used them for a rougher texture than chocolate curls, when decorating cakes.As I had some dark shavings spare, I thought I'd give the hot chocolate drink a go. It took a bit of experimenting but i found the best results by using a heaped tablespoon (old fashioned size) of slightly crushed shavings and whisking them into hot milk. For that coffee shop experience, I topped with squirty cream and a sprinkle of the shavings. Absolutely divine!

Hi Willie! Love these blogs!! Speaking of CLASSICS...played and unplayed..."All I Want is You" is an amazing song on its own...but the version that Bono sang on the "U2 go Home, Live From Slane Castle" DVD (wish I could have been there) and the way he flowed into "Streets" was absolutely phenomenal! I cry every time I watch it and get chills up my spine...my techno/rap lovin' teenagers even watch in awe. Ohhhh, to hear these two songs performed like that again live...WOW! Will be at Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey July 20 with the family...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ASK THE BAND TO CONSIDER IT. Thanks...stay safe!

Fez - Being Born
I think the extended interlude between Miss Sarajevo and City Of Blinding Lights with Fez mixed with elements of Zooropa and, to a lesser extent, Numb indicates that Fez - Being Born was likely the song Willie is talking about here.
Although I suppose it could be Zooropa, as only the second half of that song has ever been performed and even then only three times.
Whatever it was, I wonder if the band was only rehearsing it for Africa. Fez would make a lot of sense as an Africa-only setlist surprise. Here's hoping it hasn't died on the table and will be played in North America.

B Teeners take 2 of 3 at state tourney
Coming off a Region 3A championship win, Dell Rapids' 13 and 14 year old B Teeners squad kept the momentum up by winning two of three games and bringing home the third place title from the State VFW Baseball Tournament July 25-27 in Winner. They opened their tournament with an 11-1 thrashing of Spearfish on Friday, July 25. Spearfish took an early 1-0 lead in the top half of the first inning on three walks and an error. But Dell Rapids bounced right back in the bottom of the inning when Keegan Miller reached on a hit and advanced into scoring position by stealing second base. Eddie Price drove Miller in with a two-out single that tied the game. Dell Rapids took the lead for good in the second inning when Austin Ellingson reached with a single, and Logan Ruesink drove him in with a double. Continuing to pour on the runs, Dell Rapids scored three runs in each of the next three innings. The game ended in the fifth inning due to the 10-run rule. Ellingson was the winning pitcher, pitching four innings. Carter Gullickson pitched the fifth.

I have the exact same problem that you have. I can't compile libva (after I patched) because of those errors in libtool. I'm also using Arch Linux.
I'd like to add that I tried using an older version of xvba-video (0.6.11), the one that's compatible with the libva in the Arch repos.
I did get vainfo to work; but I had an error on the h264 hwdecode-demo. And when I play any video with -vo vaapi (or vaapi:gl) -va vaapi the video shows a black screen and my cpu goes crazy.
I'm now using the current xvba-video (from the AUR) and thus I need to compile libva.
So this isn't a really helpful post, but think of it as me confirming your problems.
just found this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/...yst#Repository
That fixed my issue... but now i want to have the latest mplayer svn thus i lose va-api support again -_-
I think the arch package for libva was downgraded due to the green screen issue that effects one ATI card or something. Because I saw mark's post a didn't try the compilation again.
This did not work for me.Originally Posted by markg85
mplayer-vaapi no longer goes insane on my cpu -- it just decides not to use vaapi.
The packages in this repo are definately better, though.
Here is my output for ./vaapi_h264 (there is an error)
I'm guessing the problem is with XVBA_CreateDecode(). Anyway I can fix this?Code:$ ./vaapi_h264 Display type 'x11' Hardware accelerator 'vaapi' [hwdecode_demos] VA display 0xdc3980 libva: libva version 0.31.1-sds1 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so libva: va_openDriver() returns 0 [hwdecode_demos] VA API version 0.31 [hwdecode_demos] 6 display attributes available [hwdecode_demos] VADisplayAttribDirectSurface (get/---) min 1 max 1 value 0x1 [hwdecode_demos] VADisplayAttribBackgroundColor (get/set) min 0 max 16777215 value 0xffffff [hwdecode_demos] VADisplayAttribBrightness (get/set) min -100 max 100 value 0x0 [hwdecode_demos] VADisplayAttribContrast (get/set) min -100 max 100 value 0x0 [hwdecode_demos] VADisplayAttribHue (get/set) min -100 max 100 value 0x0 [hwdecode_demos] VADisplayAttribSaturation (get/set) min -100 max 100 value 0x0 [hwdecode_demos] Decoded surface size: 320x240 [hwdecode_demos] 4 profiles available [hwdecode_demos] VAProfileMPEG2Simple [hwdecode_demos] VAProfileMPEG2Main [hwdecode_demos] VAProfileH264High [hwdecode_demos] VAProfileVC1Advanced [hwdecode_demos] 1 entrypoints available for VAProfileH264High [hwdecode_demos] VAEntrypointVLD xvba_video: XVBA_CreateDecode(): status 2 [hwdecode_demos] vaCreateContext(): unknown libva error ERROR: decode failed
(I'm very close to getting this working...)
What is the "green screen issue that effects one ATI card or something"?
There is nothing you can do about it, I am sorry. Get another notebook and probably never buy ATI HW again in the future if you intend to get decent support on Linux.I'm guessing the problem is with XVBA_CreateDecode(). Anyway I can fix this?
(I'm very close to getting this working...)
I've only heard from the comments in the AUR xvba-video package:
Oh well...Originally Posted by gbeauche
I guess I'll just have to boot into Windows to get video acceleration.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (5/7/13) – CSX Railroad and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plan to close a section of U.S. 431 in Muhlenberg County for 3 days sometime in late May or early June for rail crossing repairs.
Plans call for U.S. 431 to be closed at mile point 15.674 in the Cleaton Community for a rail crossing upgrade and rail line maintenance. At this time there is no specific date for the work to start, but the schedule is likely to firm up in the next few weeks.
This is a coal haul route with substantial truck traffic. While passenger vehicle traffic can take a 4-mile detour along KY 2107, commercial trucks will be required to take a much longer detour.
Due to the potential for disruption of material deliveries to area industries, CSX and KYTC engineers are providing a heads-up to allow businesses to prepare for this closure in advance. The specific start date for this project will be shared as soon as it becomes available. U.S. 431 would not be closed over the Memorial Day Holiday, but it will likely fall the week before or after the holiday driving period.
About 7,000 vehicles travel this section of U.S. 431 in an average day.
Shippers who normally have cargo traveling U.S. 431 may contact KYTC officials by going to www.facebook.com/kytcdistrict2 or sending an email to
. You do not have to be a Facebook member to access this page.

Deb, I think your rim looks very authentic for Greek pizza. My only critique is that it looks like the dough may have risen a little too long in the pan. Other than that I would not change a thing. NICE WORK!
I read this thread with great interest, as years ago I used to enjoy pizza from the 'Salem House of Pizza' on Bostons North Shore. Wednesday, I made the dough following Pete-zza's recipe from post #20. I cooked the pie today paying careful attention to the instructions from scott r ( post #17 ) & Pete-zza. Boy, was it good! I actually impressed my hubby . It's been at least 18 yrs since I've had one from there, so I don't know how close I got; but this recipe is a keeper! Thanks so very much.

Oh, hell yes!
After dropping Plymouth, it would be nice to see some usability improvements in the boot process. Although I don't look forward to having to learn how to customise it...
Phoronix: GRUB2 To Be Used By Default In Ubuntu 9.10
Starting with Ubuntu 9.10 (and beginning with tomorrow's daily CD builds), GRUB2 will be the default boot-loader on new Ubuntu installations. GRUB2 will bring internationalization support, support for newer systems, and many other improvements considering this GNU boot-loader has been in development for a number of years. This change was announced today on the Ubuntu development list after discussions took place recently at the Ubuntu Developer Summit...
Oh, hell yes!

The current Grub 1 is slow starting. Will Grub 2 will be faster?
GRUB2 is both slower to start than GRUB, and has a terribly bad support for XFS, at least in Debian Lenny. Every time I upgraded the kernel, it left my two systems (a desktop and a laptop) unbootable, requiring manual insmod linux and sometimes copying the kernel and the initrd.img to an ext3 partition to be able to boot.
Wow, it seem U follows Kanotix At least my development iso has got grub2 default for hd install since few month. The only thing where grub2 is really slow when you use it from usb drives. There isolinux hybrid or syslinux beats it easyly. Some other things i found is that memdisk (from syslinux) does not work with it and the map command for images does not like to boot my images too - which could be used for bios flashing for example.

what i find pretty interesting is that fedora has not yet announced to switch to grub2. so i guess that there must be some rationale for them not to switch, which ubuntu did not consider.
What I would like is that for once they would add features that would make the whole boot process more failsafe in the event that the configuration can't be found anymore or when disks have been swapped around. I just hate it when I'm looking at a grub error and a blinking cursor and no idea what to do. Scan the disks for god's sake, look for bootable partitions and give me a list of possibilities, things like that.
The best is to install grub onto the same hd as Linux. Other systems like XP could be booted with the new drivemap feature even from a 2nd or 3rd hd. It is just a bit more tricky. You should know, that changing the /boot/grub/grub.cfg is NOT working anymore, now you create extra files in /etc/grub.d . With help of os-prober it finds other OS then too, just older Win does not boot without using drivemap (basically the same usage as grub1's map command). If you know grub then you can boot more or less everything, with a few execptions. Btw. you can even chainload grub2 from any Win bootloader and boot maybe a loader which is installed into partition (is a bit more tricky than installing in mbr, needs now --force option).
I think a reason for doing this is, that grub1 is not able to boot from ext4 partitions?

Gallery: Beautiful Living MOSStiles Brighten Up Your Room With Every Co...
No toxic substances are used in the making of the tile and no chemicals or fertilizers are need to maintain them once they are installed.
The MOSStile is made of an ecologic resin base imbedded with natural moss for use indoors. No toxic substances are used in the making of the tile and no chemicals or fertilizers are needed to maintain them once they are installed. Maintenance is practically non-existent and no watering (except for an occasional misting) is necessary. The moss pulls all the nourishment it needs from an environment of at least 50% humidity. MOSStiles should not be placed in direct sunlight as diffuse light or even no light is best for them (great news for those of us who inhabit cave-like city apartments).
Measuring 29.8 x 29.8 cm in size, the modular tiles can be placed in any configuration, as a pattern, as a whole wall or as a single square, circle, rectangles or even the inverse of one of these shapes. Thousands of possibilities exist to create any sort of patterns out of the 12 beautiful colors. Hey, just because you want to be green, doesn't mean your living wall has to be.

is it possible for me to use this type of moss alone? i wanted to make a decorative out of it to place it on my mantle. Thank you
patricepetroff January 18, 2013 at 4:42 pm
so how do the tiles themselves attach to your wall?
katiehandy August 3, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Plenty of misinformation in this comment thread lead me to sign up for an account just to let you guys know the real deal…
I am using this product on a project and am currently in possession of a sq. ft. tile. This stuff is awesome! And expensive!
It is definitely, definitely alive. Reindeer moss is what it's called, which is a type of lichen. At the time of harvest, it goes through a salting process that retards its growth, so it will never shrink or grow again, but will stay alive.
It is grown in Scandinavia on a sustainable farm where the product is trimmed off the top and then placed onto a plaster tile. It sets into the plaster and as long as it is not pulled out, it remains there, alive.
It is dyed with various natural products, like beet juice, to get the vibrant colors, after harvesting.
It requires virtually no maintenance in at least 50% humidity, but I have been spritzing it to keep it soft and moist and bright.
There is one supplier in the US, which is Green Up LLC is Stamford CT. I should get paid for this kind of marketing, shouldn't I?
samatasamant July 1, 2011 at 12:53 pm
i want to use these tiles at my interior site. how can i buy it?
shireen June 20, 2011 at 6:58 pm
OK, i just examined some of the other photos … that does not look like moss. It appears to be a lichen. In the US, it's called "Reindeer Moss" — called a moss, even tho' it's actually a lichen. And the colors they have indicate that those "mosses" were dyed. So this stuff, as pretty as it looks, is preserved. Not alive.
shireen June 20, 2011 at 6:55 pm
Thanks for the response. I was interested in more details … it's a resin base. But I am wondering how the moss is attached to that resin base. Do they grow the moss from spores or starter cultures? Or is it transplanted and attached? What kind of moss do they use? The stuff may grow everywhere in nature, but it's not that straight-forward to cultivate it indoors.
lazyreader June 20, 2011 at 7:57 am
They just said it. They use a resin. Moss has no roots, it'll practically grow on anything. You see it all the time on rocks, exposed mineral soil, disturbed soils, acid soil, calcareous soil, cliff seeps and waterfall spray areas, streamsides, shaded humusy soil, downed logs, burnt stumps, tree trunk bases, upper tree trunks, and tree branches, cracks between paving stones in damp city streets, and on roofs and concrete walls. It doesn't take much skill to grow this stuff on purpose.
shireen June 18, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Beautiful! How do they secure the moss to the growing substrate?
