The anonymous author of Hebrews found different ways of describing the superiority of the Lord Jesus Christ. One of them, which forms the underlying motif of chapters 3 and 4, is that Jesus Christ gives the rest that neither Moses …Read More
The Covenant of Works
Covenant theology is important for many reasons. Though covenant theology has been around for millennia, it finds its more refined and systematic formulation in the Protestant Reformation. Its importance, however, has been heightened in our day because of its relationship …Read More
Beauty & the Gospel
In the modern era, beauty is unavoidably tied to the simplistic concept of "prettiness," like that found in greeting card poems or velvet paintings of lighthouses. In truth, beauty is far more. Beauty reveals the gamut of human experience. True …Read More

The History of Covenant Theology
Until recently, it was widely held that covenant theology was created in the middle of the seventeenth century by theologians such as Johannes Cocceius (1609–1669). In fact, covenant theology is nothing more or less than the theology of the Bible. …Read More

You don't need a lot of it and it lasts a long time. It is great to keep the color in. I have used the best. I recommend this shampoo and its companion conditioner to anyone!posted Oct 14, 2011Link to this post
MeganTxHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairAnother Disappointment!i bought davines nourshing repair mask because i read such good reviews and i decided to get the shampoo also since im ordering the mask, both products were such a big disappointment, the shampoo did nothing on my hair, it didnt even feel like it was cleanning my hair. this was just not what i expected.posted Feb 26, 2011Link to this post
MicheleMobile, ALHairMedium BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBest Shampoo Ever!This is the best shampoo...if you want to preserve your hair color and have the softest hair ever! I'm able to extend the time between trips to the hair stylist by 3-4 weeks since starting to use Davines LOVE shampoo and conditioner. That's due to both the cut and the color lasting longer. I have medium long hair, wash it way too much, don't protect my hair from the sun and stick it in a pony tail all the time!posted Jan 12, 2011Link to this post
DeborahColoradoHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairSimply Extraordinary!I don't know how I got along before without this shampoo and coordinating conditioner. I have monthly color treated hair, and it is so soft and holds the color like no other shampoo I've ever used before. The combination of shampoo and conditioner allows my hair to hold a curl wherein no other products will. I always keep an extra supply on hand just to make certain I never run out, like now, when it is on sale and out of stock. This product has far exceded my expectations. As long as the manufacturers continue to make it, I will buy it.posted Dec 12, 2010Link to this post

LeoraBrighton, MIHairBlondeColor Treated HairWow! Amazing Shampoo!!I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shampoo! It's the best shampoo I've ever used. I have long, color-treated hair that I blow dry and hairspray daily. It takes lots of abuse. I've used many brand name, upper end salon shampoos, but my hair is still left feeling dry, especially on the ends. Since I wear my hair long, it's important to me to keep my ends healthy. I always end up frustrated. I saw this product online and thought it sounded really good based on the other reviews and decided to give it a try. Well, it is amazing!! My hair is thoroughly cleaned after using, and SO much smoother and healthier. I am SO GLAD I found this product! The only regret is that the shampoo doesn't come in a larger size. I'd love to be able to purchase it in a 32 oz. bottle. Highly recommend for dry, brittle, over-treated hair.posted Oct 12, 2010Link to this post
LindseyThis Shampoo Works Well!I had never tried Davines products before, so I read almost every review before purchasing this shampoo. I like it, but I don't love it. It smells reallly good, doesn't lather up much. I don't know if I would buy it again.posted Apr 1, 2010Link to this post
AleiaGood StuffI had long hair and I decided to cut my hair into a short bob. At first I was very unfamiliar and frustrated with the frizz on the top of my head and the hair in the back that were hard to reach with a flat iron (without burning my self). My hair dresser recommend this product and I must say, it leaves your hair super soft, and smells sooo good. The shampoo really does cut down the frizz. My hair is thick, I was using a generous amount. Worth trying.posted Jan 12, 2010Link to this post
TaraChicago, ILAwesome For Your HairMy brothers wife works at a high end salon in Chicago and bought me this for Christmas. I loved it. The shampoo wont lather like other shampoos because it only lathers when your hair is clean so you might have to wash it twice. I also used it along with the conditioner and absolutely loved it. My hair would always be manageable and would never be frizzy even after I woke up the next day. The price is high but it is well worth it. I voted it the best.posted Feb 21, 2009Link to this post

Value for money ! properly fitted in Samsung Tab2.
Perfect fit...great quality leather...very rich looking... love the case!
If you are looking for a basic case at a very reasonable price, this case is perfect. The only true issue I have is that the case covers the charger outlet and a few of the function buttons on the tablet. Since I just wanted something to protect my tablet, this isn't a big deal.
Bought case for my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 p5113 and it fit perfrectly. Was worried because only listed for 5100/5100. Took the chance and well worth it. Only con is cover has to stay open when charging, no biggy though. All other holes coincide where necessary with the tablet. Case came quick. Quality is good & case is durable. Very pretty & worth the price. Probably will get another. Thanks Overstock!
There was a mistake either on my part or overstock and sent me two tables, I was able to give one to my goddaughter, and she loves it so I didn;t have to send it back.
Its not polka dotted like description but its purple and very pretty and professional looking I love it
The only problem I have with this Case is that I can't close it to recharge it, it must be open to access the plug. Other than that I am happy, and it's cute!
This case is exactly what I was looking for. The best buy for little money. I had also ordered another size for a friend. They love it also. Thanks Overstock!!
Bought this for wife's Toshiba Thrive tablet 10.1". When received and discovered, had to pay to ship it back. If you own a Toshiba Thrive 10.1", this case is not for it.
good product, good price. the color choices are good, however would like a wider selection of colors. thank you,

Butternut squash, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro and spices are simmered in a skillet with green chilies and jalapeno, then wrapped in tortillas and baked in the oven with enchilada sauce and cheese – these vegetarian enchiladas are delicious and perfect for meatless Mondays, or any day of the week!
Yup, I'm pretty enchilada obsessed and this meatless version did not dissappoint. Because of my love affair with enchiladas, I always make my own enchilada sauce and keep it frozen; you can use the recipe from my skinny chicken enchiladas but if you're pressed for time store bought enchilada sauce would be fine. Canned beans are inexpensive so this is a great meal if you're on a budget. I served this with fiesta lime rice, but you can also have this with cilantro lime cauliflower "rice" to keep the carbs low.
Butternut squash has so many health benefits; it's low in fat, loaded with fiber, rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and beta-carotene, just to name a few. Combine that with black beans which are super high in fiber and protein and you have one healthy dish which is not only satisfying, it tastes great too. Enjoy!

- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 8 medium low-carb whole wheat flour tortillas (I used La Tortilla Factory)

Add cubed butternut, Rotel tomatoes, black beans, water, cilantro, cumin and chili powder and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Place about a generous 1/3 cup filling in the center of each tortilla and roll, place on the baking dish seam side down. Repeat with the remaining filling. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese and bake, covered with foil until hot and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Top with scallions and eat with sour cream if desired.

Brock (anime)
this wiki
This article is about the anime character Brock (anime). For other uses, see Brock (Game).
Brock (タケシ Takeshi) | |
General | |
Hometown: | Pewter City |
Region: | Kanto |
Family: | Flint |
Class: | Gym Leader
Friends: | Ash |
First Appearance: | Showdown in Pewter City |
Voice actor: | Eric Stuart (English) (4kids) Bill Rogers (English) (PUSA/DuART) |
Brock used to want to be the greatest Pokémon Breeder (he now follows his dream to be a Pokémon Doctor), and gives up his title of Gym Leader after Ash won his first Kanto League Gym Badge from him. He was first seen taking care of his nine siblings.
After Ash loses to Brock, a stranger (Brock's father) offers to help make his Pikachu stronger. Pikachu (after being hooked up to a local hydro-power station) becomes stronger and manages to defeat Geodude, but Onix remains too strong. Onix has Pikachu in a body bind; however, Pikachu's previous electric attack ravaged the gym, which set off the sprinklers, weakening his Onix. Ash declines the badge on the grounds that he unfairly beat Brock, but Brock later catches up to him and presents to him the badge, saying that he wants Ash to fulfill his dream of becoming the best. The stranger that first helped Ash reveals himself to be Brock's father, Flint, who has a tendency to not notify people it is him. Brock is now free to train himself, and joins Ash and Misty on their journey.
Since then, he travels with Ash and Misty on his many adventures. In the Orange Islands series, he leaves the team to join Professor Felina Ivy, but mysteriously returns to Pallet Town when Ash wins the Orange League Championship. When asked what happened, Brock just rolled up into a ball and replied: "I don't wanna talk about it." or "Don't mention that name." every time someone mentions Professor Ivy. Rejoining Ash and Misty, Brock travels to Johto, where he continues to help Ash and Misty. Upon the conclusion of the Silver Conference, the three part ways, Brock heading back to Pewter City. It is there (in an episode of Pokémon Chronicles) that he discovers his estranged mother Lola (Mizuho in the original), who, because she is a Water-type Pokémon Trainer, has ruined the reputation of the Gym he defended so long ago and had ended up filling the gym with water (causing Brock to comically freak out and keeps repeating "A LAKE!!!" when he first see's it). By defeating his mother, he restores the Gym's reputation, and proceeds to leave all his Pokémon (except Forretress) to his younger brother Forrest, before departing for the Hoenn region, where he catches up with Ash and his two new friends, May and Max. The group travel across Hoenn and then return to Kanto to participate in the Battle Frontier. The group went their separate ways and Brock met up with Ash in Sinnoh. While there, they meet a new coordinator named Dawn and her partner Piplup, who joins them on their journey through Sinnoh.
During this time, both Brock's father, Flint (Munō in the original, who was also Brock's predecessor as Gym Leader), ran off again, and his oldest younger brother Forrest (Jirō in the original) took the role of Gym Leader in Pewter City, as well as the responsibility of caring for his many other younger siblings. Brock is the oldest of ten siblings, with five brothers and four sisters.
Brock is always well-equipped, and is sometimes the voice of reason when Ash and Misty (and later, May and Dawn) get into an argument. He is also hardworking and is always willing to help others. Coupled with his experiences in taking care of others, Brock often prepares food and does most of the chores for the main characters. Brock is also exceptionally good at making food for Pokémon.
At the end of the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl series, Brock aspires to become a Pokémon Doctor, and work alongside Nurse Joy. After departing from Ash and Dawn, Brock returns home to Pewter City to train to become a Pokémon Doctor.
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Special Episode 2, he has photos of Ash, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, Piplup, and Pikachu to remind him of how much fun it was traveling with them. He also chooses his brother Forrest to replace him as the official Pewter City gym leader.
Running gags
Over the course of the series, there have come to be a couple of recurring gags related to Brock that have become quite prominent.
One of the most notable running gags in the anime is that Brock makes advances on virtually every girl his age or older (with a style of Barbie, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, LEGO Friends, Easy-Bake, Polly Pocket, Bratz, Lite Sprites, Disney Princess, Disney Fairies, Shimmer Sparkle, Cutie Pops, La Dee Da, Lalaloopsy, Squinkies, Little Miss Muffin, BrAun Beauty Care, Pretty Pedicure Salon Littlest Pet Shop, FurReal Friends, Fijit Friends, Moxie Girlz, Monster High, Novi Stars, and Puppy in My Pocket), and is usually met by rejection, confusion, or being dragged away from them by Misty, Max, or his Pokémon, Croagunk. One of several exceptions was Professor Ivy, the Pokémon Professor from the Orange Islands, with whom he spent some time away from the show. He later returns but refuses to explain why he left her, simply saying "Don't mention that name!" Pike Queen Lucy of the Battle Frontier in Tohjo Falls seems to have a liking towards Brock (partially because she has a soft spot for Pokémon with squinty eyes) almost traveling with him, before Max interrupts. Other girls who had feelings for Brock include Wilhelmina, Temacu, Natalie, Autumn, Narissa, Lizabeth and Holly.
His crushes include the various Nurse Joy's and Officer Jenny's, which he can differentiate with ease based on very perceptive but minute observations. Because of this, he can spot impostor Joy's and Jenny's instantly. Other crushes are: Rhonda, Rhoda.
Oatmeal Pokémon
Another one of the notable running gags is how Brock is forced to entertain an audience while other characters retrieve something which would typically be another Pokémon that would have been putting on a show for the current audience that has likely been stolen by Team Rocket. During the cases in which he does,such as he repeats one song (usually an English version of "Takeshi no Paradise", one of the Japanese ending themes) ad nauseam to the point that he is either booed offstage or loses interest in singing he reveals that he sings this song over and over is because its the only song he knows. After Ash finished the Sinnoh league Ash and Brock left back to Kanto and went their seperate ways. In the Pokémon DP Special Episode 2, Brock is shown studying to become a Pokémon Doctor, and even has photos of Ash, Pikachu, Misty, May, Max, Dawn and Piplup, reminding himself of how much he misses all of them.

- Brock is a very talented cook, especially when it comes to making food for Pokémon (this is related to the fact he is a Pokémon Breeder).
- In the episode, "A Crowning Achievement," Brock actually temporarily opens his eyes in a flash second to try to cheer up Larvitar.
- Brock's eyes are rarely open, excluding the examples shown.
- At the beginning of the anime, Brock doesn't show a lot of interest in girls. After a while, he finally shows it.
- Brock is the only character who appears in all the seasons except the best wishes seasons.
- As seen in the episode "The Taming of The Shroomish", Brock is apparently afraid of ghosts. While he and May were shopping, she heard of a haunted mansion. He was terrified just hearing about it, and, while May was overjoyed, she literally had to drag him there. Whenever he heard somebody talking about ghosts, he leaned away. He was afraid of the mansion, and showed dismay and horror when they talked about advancing inside. He was fine once he found out that the ghosts were actually Shroomish, though.
- Brock's real dream is to become a Pokemon doctor. However in "Jirachi: wish maker",he said he wanted to become a magician because he could make" beautiful girls appear out of thin air".

Dr. Clifford Stanley, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, responsible for overseeing the overall state of military readiness, said he believed the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center should become a Center of Excellence, the first place that should be tapped for language and culture training.
"If I could click my heals and wish I were in Kansas, I would really like to see DLI become the Center of Excellence. This should be the place you come to …and where the excellence is," said Stanley, having toured several teaching facilities.
Stanley had the opportunity to visit a Dari basic course class, speak with students and ask questions about the course. Servicemembers at the Multi Language School demonstrated some of the latest language learning programs and technology such as tablet PCs, iPods and interactive whiteboards.
"I'm excited about what you are doing, taking advantage of emerging technologies," said Stanley, stressing that language training is not just important for the professional linguist, but for all Americans, beginning at a very early age.
"I have some very strong feelings about language and where we are as a nation, not just in the Department of Defense. I strongly believe that we should have a nation that we can draw from of people who are language-capable," said Stanley, who is the senior policy advisor to the Secretary of Defense on the 1.3 million Guard and Reserve personnel in the United States.
Stanley mentioned that most allies are ahead of the U.S. in language training. "And why do they have to learn English?" he questioned rhetorically. "Language is important," he stressed, "Particularly if we are talking about working with our allies and other nations."

For me Urban Fly Fishing has never really been about catching fish.
It's about the challenge. The Casting, The presentation, and well I guess it's a little about catching fish.
Urban Fly Fishing has been the one activity in my life that has allowed my brain to completely focus in on what is going on at that exact moment.
It's Peaceful, Serene, Relaxing. It's just simply Fly Fishing, and that's what makes it so special for me.
Every moment anticipating the next strike. Trying to figure out what the fish wants. It's like a Chess Match that takes me outside the world that I currently reside in.
I had such a moment in Big Bear over Memorial Day Weekend with my fishing buddy Dan.
We had a chance to get away from the wives to get in a few casts over at Boulder Bay.
The Sun was starting to set over the mountains and the water glistening, as fish unloading on bugs skimming the surface.
Every cast produced a fish, and many to our surprise were decent sized Black Crappies. Or as a buddy of mine so affectionately refers to them "Stubbies".
Beautiful fish, Beautiful Surroundings, and a Fly Rod. What more could a fisherman ask for.
It was truly one of those great life experiences.
I just pray that my next Fly Fishing "Adventure" is filled with such excitement.
That's why we call it Urban Fly Venturing, a Disease Worth Catching!

Phoronix: AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux Support
Less than a year ago we shared with you the revolutionary steps AMD was taking to deliver significant improvements to their once infamous proprietary Linux display driver and at the same time the work they were doing to foster the growth of an open-source driver for their latest graphics card families. These steps have certainly paid off for both AMD and the Linux community at large. AMD's proprietary driver is now on par with NVIDIA's Linux driver and there are two open-source ATI drivers picking up new features and improvements on an almost daily basis. AMD also continues to publish new programming guides and register information on a routine basis for their latest and greatest hardware. This has been truly phenomenal to see, but AMD has now evolved their Linux support by taking it a large step further. AMD is in the process of pushing new high-end features into their Linux driver -- such as Multi-GPU CrossFire support -- and with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 they have even begun showing off Tux, the Linux mascot, on their product packaging and providing Linux drivers on their product CDs!
(there's a post character limit, ok)
That's pumped up
AMD are on fire...
Awesome. I highly doubt though that the Card-Sellers put tux on their boxes. In that case they'd have to offer support for linux as well, which they probably aren't prepared for.
Btw, that 48xx on the third page looks totally rad.
Finally some props.
My next card may be an ATI one, again, if they keep this up. (And I'll go back to telling others its okay to buy an ATI card if you intend to run linux!)
Penguin on the box! Finally!
Kudos AMD
very interesting news
My special hope would be DRI2 support, but I fear this is one thing which we won't see this yearIf CrossFire isn't enough to satisfy you, well, AMD is working on other exciting Linux features too. We'll have to tell you about those on another day, but feel free to share your hopes and speculations in the Phoronix Forums.
Cool news overall and it's greatly appreciated (Thanks John and Co.!! )- but I'd hardly call it at being "on par" with NVidia's drivers.
High-end features such as SLI are part of the NVidia offering, and while they're not as robust as the single card mode, we've had SLI for a while now. That's not "on par" yet- tell us this when the AMD team has Crossfire in place...AMD is in the process of pushing new high-end features into their Linux driver -- such as Multi-GPU CrossFire support
Though solidly working in single card mode and the penguin on the box is VERY much appreciated and VERY GOOD news all the same. Might even consider getting an eval board in the R600 series to verify function on customer apps. (I probably will with the first box with a Penguin on it spotted and me having a bit of free budget...)

CrossFire X will be the leading MultiGPU technology. This is because CrossFire X is capable of running any CrossFire X-compatible cards. If you for example have got a RV670 for some time now, and want to have some more performance, you can just buy a new RV770 and combine those two cards which are of different generations. You could also use a RV670, a RV770Pro and a RV770XT. This is a confirmed feature for Windows and due to using the same codebase it should also work fine with Linx.
Wow, that rocks!
BTW: grammar error in last paragraph: "Once again, apologizes that the".

Re: Todays rides
The more he did the faster hewas getting! The last 2 were faster than my PB.
Greg B was doing 8 or 10 Blackies in a session as training for Haute Route Trevor from Lonsdale St Cyclery rode out to Vets race at Orroral Valley (out past Fitz's) on Saturday, won A grade and then rode home again!
Re: Todays rides
That ride has been deleted. Turns out he lent his phone to his riding buddy to record the ride and he (Dave) has since uploaded his own ride from his Garmin - which was 2 minutes faster: http://app.strava.com/rides/20648898

Re: Todays rides
Are the roadworks at Mulligans flat finished yet? Haven't been out there for ages as i was avoiding it after reading comments on here about the !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! section near the border. Current Ride: Trek Madone 6.5 (2013)
Re: Todays ridesYep, all done for about 5-6 weeks. Nice to not get a dirty roadie. However, they have since put a slightly raised metal cap on top of the concrete at either edge of the grids. They are a bit nasty at speed. Before that, it was nice to hit the grids at almost any speed.
Re: Todays ridesBig crash on southside "Grandpa" bunch today. About 5 or 6 riders went down on Nothbourne Ave. Not sure what happened, a touch of wheels maybe. I was 3 or 4 bikes back and could hear and then see the carnage unfolding before me and managed to stop and avoid it. I don't think there were any serious injuries, usual road rash I expect. One guy had only recently started riding again after breaking his hip in another bunch ride a few months ago.
Re: Todays ridesCaught up with some of the boys from the crash this morning.
It was the most common reason for a crash in any bunch. Some 'muppet' makes a sudden move, overlaps a wheel, down comes the first rider and here comes a dominoes display. Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using Tapatalk 2 James

Re: Todays rides
Cool. Next target: doing Stromlo and feeling ok.
Re: Todays rides60km or thereabouts. 2km warm up, 25km CCC Symonston crit, 33km home from crit. Really liked the Symonston course for the crit today although those that went down on the bottom corner won't agree me with. Def a nice change from Stromlo with some downhill and uphill. Managed a tie for 4th in D grade
Current Ride: Trek Madone 6.5 (2013)
Re: Todays ridesRiding home from work last night (south down Adelaide Ave), and a faster due comes past me just beforethe Phillip College lights. He got through and another cyclist in front of me got through too. When the lights went green I went up Launceston street (towards the Hellenic club). Was going to turn left into the street behind callum offices through the carpark near the cats and go that way as per normal and saw a bit of faffing around at that corner.
Rider down and not moving and a couple of other drivers and motorists pulling up and flapping round saying its okay mate don't move blah blah while another (the second fast guy who had passed me) was lifting a bike off the road. A lady in a 4wd with bull bar was standing there and "didn't see him". (the guy on the ground was the fast one who had past me less than 2 mins before ). Someone rang the ambulance and they came soon and they tested all his limbs/back etc in case anything was broken. Lady didn't do or say anything. The other chap took some photos of the damaged bike and Mr Hit finally got up and walked around albeit very sorely and slowly. He was pretty shakey but seriously lucky considering what could've been. He thought he was okay to ride home but his bike was stuffed. It wasn't dark when it happened and while i had lights on, i do that anyway to stop having to pull up half way. Police came, interviewed everyone. I said don't bother with me as I didn't see the impact. the guys left arm was cut as were 2 or 3 fingers on his left hand and his lid was smashed but he didn't think he needed to go to hospital in the ambulance. Lady said she wasn't going fast. Again she might not've seen him but you wonder if she looked too. The other 2 cyclists who got there in front of me confirmed that when they picked his bike up the front light was going. the injured rider thanked all of us for stopping to make sure he was okay. In the end the lady who hit him got a bit emotional. I'm sure it wasn't deliberate but hopefully she'll learn from it too. In the end she was going to drive him home i think. He wasn't looking forward to seeing his wife's reaction. Really, it can just happen so easily. Ride safe all. I hope you're feeling better today Michael. Good cudos and karma should also go to Andrew and Linley for what they did too.
Re: Todays rides
Vets stopped using the Symonston car park for crits, too many bad accidents. Head into curb = brain damage. I ride, therefore I am.

Re: Todays rides
Talking about the same course? I know the Geoscience Australia carpark used to get used which is also in Symonston. This was over near Cbr Ave
Yeah heard about the other crashes. Not good but still I enjoyed the course & the race. Current Ride: Trek Madone 6.5 (2013)
Re: Todays ridesThat's a scary story cp123, glad the rider didn't need the ambulance on the spot.
"I didn't see him" is basically an admission the driver wasn't looking hard enough. Plenty of car-on-car crashes are explained the same way. I like to ride lit up like a Las Vegas Christmas but sometimes you wonder just what it takes when there are 4WDs with bull bars on the same roads.
Re: Todays rides
Not always. The forward windscreen "A" pillars in a lot of vehicles can hide a car pretty well, a cyclist even more so. I nearly took out a cyclist myself one day out the front of SFP because I didn't see him due to the A pillar.
Re: Todays ridesThere was a crash last year at the Symonston crit as well. It was in my grade, luckily I was doing a reverse breakaway at the time and managed to slow down in time and avoid it. I didn't race it this year but did enjoy last year despite the crash.
Re: Todays rides
Correct - I was talking the Geoscience carpark, I wasn't aware there was another approved location in Symonston. Where is it exactly? I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Todays ridesGoogle maps link
It's a fun crit course, but the fast off camber downhill left hander does tend to cause a bit of grief. No crashes in C grade, everybody was reasonably well behaved. Giant Trance | Giant Reign 3 | Trek 8000 | Trek Madone 4.5 | Look 695 SR ipack | Fuji Track 1.1
Re: Todays ridesOnly a small ride yesterday to visit the pretty girls at the coffee shop. Dodged a magpie, but had to cut the ride short owing to an incredibly loud BB creak. Only managed about 40km's, but still good.
It's nice to see more people on their bikes now the weather is warming up, and its even better not having to ride in clothing that looks like it is better suited to the ski fields. Yay for warmer weather! Merida 907e Reacto. Fast and comfortable.

i have used one of these in the past. one of the advantages is that the battery life is really long, and so they'll definitely come in handy on cross-country roadtrips.
Does this one have hidden required "microtransactions" to add regional maps? I've seen some GPS nav systems that are really cheap at the store but cost much more when you have to buy regions of the U.S. Also, are the maps and POIs updatable?
GPS (Google Product Search) (no pun intended)

Why are these so popular? Do people really have that much trouble reading a map?
Good features for the price. Navteq are the same maps as Garmin, and Garmin is by far the best. A comparable Garmin would be nearly twice the price. Looks Good.
I just got a Garmin Nuvi 350 today. This looks identical. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made in the same factory. The feature set is about the same, Garmin's extra things; tour POI's, and some other items are mostly pay-as-you go (bleh). Is this a good buy? Probably. Don't expect the speakers to sound like much for MP3 playback.

I just received the Whistler GPS a few days ago that I bought during the wootoff and I love it but I would have loved to have saved $60 for basically the same thing. The Whistler GPS does not do MP3 or photos like this one. I have not used this unit but based on the Whistler unit at $219, this one is a good deal. Wish I bought a Samsung Q1 but I just did not want to release my grip on that much money.
During a recent Tangthon, they had one of these (https://secure.tanga.com/products/456-Nav-Cam-7700). A bit more information on that blog. It was $10 cheaper, but only one person got to take advantage.

They are fun and easy to use. Plus with a paper map you either have to pull over or have someone navigating for you, and I can't think of one person I could actually trust to read the map correctly.
Can this run Tomtom?
because if you miss an exit it will tell you how to get around it without delay because time is money and no point on wasting time reading a map.
Looks good for the price, but I've never heard of Evesham. The name doesn't inspire confidence, especially if you shorten the name to something more manageable. "Hey, I'll just see where we're at on this 'sham GPS!" Also, some oversensitive types might take the name to be a denial of Original Sin.
is it really that hard to use a map?
[quote user="pekozpub"]Why are these so popular? Do people really have that much trouble reading a map? I lived in New Haven, CT last summer. Thursday I am driving to Houston for the summer. In city traffic GPS navigation is a gigantic timesaver, and incredibly convenient if you are alone. If you have to make 15 turns in a city where all the blocks look the same and you haven't driven the route before, $150 is pretty cheap to be able to toss your google maps away and have a nice voice tell you when to turn.
Does this incororate SIRF III ?
Does this thing do text-to-speech, i.e. speak the name of the street you turn on etc.?
YES! Awesome description! Patrick McGoohan kicks Daniel Craig's ASS, as far as I'm concerned. I am not a number! I am a free man! -kirax2 (Number 31)

Twice the price but also twice as fast. I have noticed that with these similar looking items, they dont calculate routes as fast, when you touch the screen, they are not as quick on the response and the screens don't seem to refresh as quickly. also I have noticed that they don't perform a re-route as quickly when you miss a turn or go off route. They get the job done, but Garmin seems to do it better and faster.
I have owned one of these and ended up taking it back. It was not easy to use. Very frustrating and confusing at time. Took it back and bought a different brand. Would not recommend!
awheintz: You don't want your GPS to play music. Neither do I; that's what my car's custom headunit and speakers are for. But most of the GPSes these days have it bundled in them; the best of them are essentially hyperexpensive iPods with a humongous screen - they do pictures, music, video, and - oh yeah, tell you how to get where you need to go. If you just want a basic gps and you have a laptop, getting Streets and Trips is worth it: it comes with a GPS locator and S&T also gives audio direction. ...or show some skills and take out parts of your front current headunit/fan settings and install a computer in, complete with touchscreen LCD and roadrunner software.
fjbros wrote:Another GPS, anything special about this one? Does it work for thecave?
NO! If you're interested in Speleology, then I suggest you try a different technology...such as research and a paper map!
I'm getting just so I can get a new icon color next to my name.
useful linkage blog is updated with info on this woot... i like the idea of the touchscreen and the cam and whatnot... but not a fan of this brand... who has actual experience with this one?... lets hear it.
Ohh, tonight I go to bed without reading a review, rating, and thoughts of a product one does not even own. Darn, I feel so left out. My work truck comes with GPS and Navigation, so I have no need nor any comment on it, goodnight all.

Nice Maiden quote!!!
This says it has a "car charger". Can you leave it plugged into the cigarette lighter so that it will work for lots of hours at a time, or will you have to shut it down and recharge it every 3 hours?
i have GPS on my cell phone (iPaq 6900) and while this would make it useless it's still a nicely priced, nifty thing to have when travelling or as a gift to my brother or something...
My Roadmate just broke this week and the warranty was up a month ago .. could this be a sign?
just the right price for me woot. i know some of these are spectacular, and some arnt, but this seems like it will get the job done without much hassle for me, and a great price. thanks woot!
I just bought a Garmin Nuvi two days ago...IT IS REALLY FAST! Good night!

My wife wanted a nice book case display unit for our new homes livingroom. We looked around and found that
purchasing a massive unit would cost in excess of 1800 dollars. I decided to build one and use my Ryobi tools
and wood purchased at the Home Depot. I finished the project in two weekends and t came out great.
The new Ryobi 18 volt nailer is fabulous. The cabinet is now ready for primer and paint. Thanks Ryobi and Home Depot
for the tools! By the way I am not a carpenter just a home owner!

The 2013-2018 Outlook for Automatic Environmental Controls for Monitoring Residential, Commercial, and Appliance Use in India
- Language: English
- Published: January 2013
- Region: India
The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The "market" is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability).

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently selected the first 27 accountable care organizations (ACOs) to participate in the Medicare Shared Saving Program (Shared Savings Program). The selected organizations have agreed to be responsible for improving care for nearly 375,000 beneficiaries in 18 states through better coordination among providers. All ACOs that succeed in providing high-quality care—per their performance on 33 quality measures while reducing the costs of care—may share in the savings to Medicare.
Two of the ACOs will participate in a version of the program that allows them to earn a higher share of any savings, in return for which they have agreed to be held accountable for a share of any losses if the costs of care for the beneficiaries assigned to them increase.
Five of the 27 ACOs that are starting this month will participate in the advance payment ACO model established by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to encourage rural and physician-based ACOs to participate in the Shared Savings Program. Under this model, each participating ACO will receive advance payments to help cover the costs of establishing the infrastructure needed to coordinate care for the beneficiaries they serve.
CMS currently is reviewing more than 150 applications from ACOs that are seeking to participate in the Shared Savings Program beginning July 1, of which more than 50 are applying for the advance payment ACO model.
APTA's ACO webpage offers a variety of resources to help members determine if participation in this new model of care is a viable option for them. Resources include videos and podcasts, assessment tools, and links to summaries of ACO regulations.

Every Saturday, Chris Kamara heads to stadiums up and down the country to deliver his unique match reports for Soccer Saturday.
On Sundays you can see him back in the Sky Sports studios as he brings you all of the highlights on Goals on Sunday.
And then on Mondays you can find Kammy right here on skysports.com as he brings you his views on the Premier League weekend.
Read below for his thoughts on goal getters Shinji Kagawa and Luis Suarez, Arsene Wenger's future and and a vital victory for QPR...
Man United show no signs of slowing down
Shinji Kagawa scored a hat-trick during Man United's 4-0 win over Norwich and his finishing, especially for the second and third goals, was extremely cool and reminiscent of a young Paul Scholes. He has been on the periphery since he joined from Borussia Dortmund in the summer but that is mainly because of injury and Sir Alex Ferguson has always said what a fantastic player the Japanese is. He looks like he will provide plenty of ammunition for United, both in terms of goals and assists, and could play an integral role for the rest of the season for a club that have a huge goal threat and are only getting stronger. United will have to be strong to come through Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night because Jose Mourinho's men have hit form at the right time and beaten Barcelona twice in a week - but let's hope they do it to keep up the possibility of having an English team in May's final at Wembley.
It is not nice to see Arsene Wenger in turmoil
Wenger is a legend and a top-drawer football manager and has done so much for Arsenal but you don't want to see him struggling, so if the Gunners do not qualify for the Champions League some tough decisions may have to be made. Wenger is probably getting frustrated with the length of time it has been since his team won a trophy and while you would hope that if Arsenal do miss out on a top-four place, he could go away for a few months, recharge his batteries and then go again, he may feel he like is past his sell-by date. If he does leave, I want it to be on his terms - but who do Arsenal replace him with? Pep Guardiola has gone to Bayern Munich and you cannot see Mourinho going there and even though there are good managers in European leagues, there are no obvious candidates. Perhaps Arsenal's biggest problem is not the manager - they played quite well against Tottenham - but the fact that they are not spending the money the fans have generated?
Rafa Benitez should have handled his rant against Chelsea differently
The Spaniard wanted to get a few things off his chest and while he has right to do that, he should have been a bit more careful when criticising Blues fans. He would have been better thanking the Chelsea faithful, who had travelled a long way from London to Middlesbrough on a week night for their support but then calmly said that their booing was not helping him or the players and asked if they could get behind the side when they were playing a game. That would have taken the onus off him and the fans would have probably thought: 'Yeah, he's right, we are all after the same thing'. However, Benitez was probably bit too critical and what he did is unlikely to result in Chelsea supporters being a bit kinder to him. The trouble he will always have, though, is that his Liverpool connection is not easily forgotten by Blues fans and they will always boo him over the chairman, because they fear Roman Abramovich will walk away and take his money with him if they get on his back.
Luis Suarez is a candidate for Player of the Year
When Thierry Henry came to Arsenal people said he couldn't finish his breakfast, but Wenger thought he was just unlucky and the goals eventually came. The same thing has happened with Suarez, who is now adding goals to his outstanding approach play, as he proved by netting a hat-trick against Wigan as the Reds won 4-0. We did a little poll on Goals on Sunday asking people who they thought would win Player of the Year - Robin van Persie and Gareth Bale got a mention, of course, while I nominated Michu and some Chelsea fans put Juan Mata's name forward - but Suarez has to be up there because he has taken over from Steven Gerrard as Liverpool's talisman. We saw a little spat between Wigan's Emmerson Boyce and James McArthur during Saturday's game and while it wasn't nice viewing, it shows they have the desire to help get their club out of the relegation zone and are not prepared to settle for losing.
Dubai-gate could be a blessing for QPR
The story that some QPR players enjoyed a few too many drinks during a recent tour could have really backfired on them and they could have quite easily slipped to defeat against Southampton, but Harry Redknapp kept his squad together and Rangers recorded a much-needed win over their fellow relegation contenders. Fair play to Harry, too, for backing his players and insisting that these allegations were completely untrue and you get the feeling that it is going to create an 'us against the world mentality' and make QPR more determined to prove their doubters wrong and stay in the Premier League. They have certainly given themselves a chance and considering the Londoners are just four points from safety and have some winnable games coming up, the great escape is on.
Who could replace Arsene Wenger in the Arsenal dugout? Who is your Player of the Year so far? Can QPR stay up? Let us know your thoughts using the feedback form below...

Sumeet Dhillon (Newcastle United fan) says...
If Wenger was to leave in the summer, i think Klopp, Laudrup or Moyes should be approached, as they are proven, yet are either not at a top club or in the premier league. Also, Suarez or Bale for player of the year. And i personally don't think QPR will stay up no matter how good Harry is because some of the players are only motivated by money (i.e. Remy, biased of course as I'm a newcastle fan) and they will still be getting their pay cheques regardless of what league they are in next year and they don't seem to have the hunger to want to do well.

i'm not sure I believe the Myth surrounding Arsene Wenger and not spending Money ... I appreciate that he is not spending the amounts of the top clubs but i'm sure he paid a lot of money for Monreal, Giroud, Mertesaker, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla to name but a few

Josh A (Arsenal fan) says...
To Matt Cousins; are you actually serious? Bendtner was signed very young as he came through the academy. Djourou was in a similar situation. Chamakh came on a free. Santos wasn't a massive buy. The only ones I would consider 'big money' transfers are Arshavin, Gervinho and Giroud. And just so you know, without Arshavin, we would not have gotten into the Champions League that year. He should have been signing of the season. As for Giroud ; he has done well, considering it's his first season in the Premier League. Gervinho is really the only one on your 'list' that would get any attention. He has been inconsistent at best. How misinformed are you? Stop believing everything you read and hear...

Matt Cousins (Arsenal fan) says...
I am ashamed to say that I am an Arsenal fan. Kammy says that it is not the manager, but it is. Wenger has not spent any money in the past transfer windows, most notably the window just gone. He only got one player in January and he needed to sign more players. That was the perfect chance to strengthen. If Wenger does stay, he has to do one thing. Break the bank. We hear that they could possibly have around �75m to spend in the sumer. Will Wenger use it? No he won't. Arsenal should not be boasting that they have �123m in the bank. We haven't put that money to good use. Wenger in the transfer windows, he has bought some players that haven't worked out. These include Arshavin, Chamakh, Djourou, Giroud, Bendtner, Santos, Gervinho and many more. All of these players came for big money and big wages. Why are Arsenal paying these players that money if they are not playing? We need to have a manager who is not afraid to break the bank and knows what players would suit the club best. It's not like they wouldn't be given the time. When you work at Arsenal, you are given more than enough time. Just look at Wenger, Graham. All of these managers have been given the time and money to succeed. In my kind Jurgen Klopp or Michael Laudrup should be given the job. They know how to win trophies and where to strengthen. WENGER OUT!

Tony Burton (Liverpool fan) says...
If Wenger goes then I think they should go for Laudrup from Swansea.He plays the kind of football Arsenal like but I think he would add a little more steel to them and be more aware defensively aware.

Luke Davison (Liverpool fan) says...
Player of the year Suarez with RVP second Bale third Mata fourth and Michu fifth
Posted 16:35 4th March 2013
Jonny K (Arsenal fan) says...
Not too sure if Wenger out is the answer. i think Kammy is right, the problem is not with the manager, but the financial handicap we've inherited as a result of The Emirates move. Arsenal to spend serious money this summer on quality players, and Wenger to have one last attempt before his contract is up. There is no chance of Mourinho coming in, he wouldnt touch arsenal with their current tight restrictions on spending.
Posted 15:58 4th March 2013
Gary Stevens (Queens Park Rangers fan) says...
Wenger out - Mourinho in. Player of the year so far has to be Suarez with Mata a close second. QPR will stay up with Reading, Wigan and Villa dropping down. Arsenal will finish sixth with Spurs getting fourth and Everton fifth. And finally, and this is a long shot, QPR to finish top half of Prem next year...you heard it hear first!

My Tour de FranceRe: My Tour de France As soon as I scrolled to the first pic (before I even read your cap) I was thinking that's probably TLL fifth from left
Man you've got some pins Is there a report ?? FPR Ragamuffin
My Tour de France yup I am built pretty solid! ... My thighs have shrunk a bit with the year I had off!. I was thinking that cyclocross wouldn't be so much like cross country Mtb with power to weight being everything. But so far the 2 courses I have done have had huge amounts of climbing!.
Yes race report is in Mtb section under cyclocross but from now on I will put them here. But in brief I got 31st out of 51 .... I have a lot too learn!. Tommorow is shaping up to be very wet... Hopefully flatter though!. I might chuck my Mtb in the boot as well all the same. Results are not important though... I am just super chuffed that I can handle pushing myself so hard... I am smiling through the vomit!.
Re: My Tour de France
So on the steep pinch climbs do the leading guys run or ride ?? Is there a technique to it, or each to their own ?? FPR Ragamuffin
My Tour de FranceHaha I get cold feet especially if we go through water!... Yeah not very euro at the moment!. But then that pic when I am about to go down the dip makes it look like I am riding a little clown bike anyway ... So my image will always be bad!.
I am training on my 9 speed ribble shi**er at the moment, mudguards and pack rack ... Apparently it really upsets some people lol. Chuck... On that climb you had to get the start right with no one stuffing up in front of you... It was quite long so better to ride it. Some guys can run obstacles REALLY fast but if you ride something nearly as quick as running then you do as you get back up to speed so much quicker. Powers is one of the top riders in the US and rides everything ... One of the few who do... But if you watch the world cup races you will see how good technically the top euro guys are... Everyone was riding the barriers and jumping the ditches... Freakin cool to watch.
Re: My Tour de FranceRace number 3 ... what a setting,side of a hill with huge chateau on top . Chateau was great, not that I noticed it once in the race...side of hill was HORRIBLE. I put the 38 back on today instead of the 34 ..big mistake. Although it wasn't muddy,it was wet and very soft. There was a big road climb and about 4 short nasty pinch climbs. Most times I rode them but not all. I lost about 10 seconds a lap until I noticed people taking a shortcut under a tree instead of around it. Started well but with all that climbing I faded big time. Bloody hard workout on the back. But it is only an hour right!. Anyway no idea where I finished, felt like I was riding better than previous times but no way I can compete with that much climbing!. Next week will be flatter I hope .
Very happy I run tubes now... no way my tubeless set up would have lasted.I ran 30 rear and 28 front.Probably a bit low as I could feel them rolling on the off camber grunt climbs. But the traction was pretty good. Also learnt how to stand on pinch climbs and still sort of keep traction. Gear changes were great this time. Should have run a short sleeve shirt today... 7 C and I was boiling (short nicks,short gloves,long workers socks!). Will wait and see results and if I can find pics ... but I finished one lap down on the leader .
Re: My Tour de France How about you take a pic of the places that you do these races TLL. Then we can get a real idea of the country side you race at.
You take photos for a livin don't ya? Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: My Tour de FranceWill a video do?...I am in about 30th in the first and same in the 2nd (2nd video must be the 2nd lap) as gaps got a lot bigger .Think I must have finished about 33-36th out of 53ish .
I regretted putting the 38 on...my power to weight at 102 kgs is not great . This was pretty steep with thick leaves...they needed a trail bike to go through and make a trail!. This doesn't look it but it is steep off camber...got ripped to shreds by the end of 9 or 10 laps.
Re: My Tour de FranceThat's what we wanna see TLL.
Love the bloke at the end there, almost made it over the top and just didn't have enough grunt left and rolled it. Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: My Tour de FranceYou'll enjoy this one then ... this is from the week before ... last guy does an over the bars. I am mid pack (or further back) as usual .
Re: My Tour de France How the hell did he manage that?
Never seen anyone go over the bars at the top of a climb before. Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
My Tour de FranceNo idea... It was very steep on both sides but smooth as well... If all us boys (and 1 girl I think) could do it on our "roadies" you would think a dualie would have no problems!.
Re: My Tour de Francefantastic vids TLL... Cyclocross looks damn hard, not like softies who just sit in a bunch ride smooth tar
GT Avalanche 1.0 | TCR Alliance 0 | Giant Bowery | BMW K1300R Two wheels good, Four wheels bad
Re: My Tour de FranceOh well, I sucked this weekend... 36th out of 53 and 15th out of 17 for my catergorie . ANd to think I thought I did a bit better than the week before!.
1 tour and 6 minutes behind the leader!...and the winner was actually in 39 to 49 group! (freaking strong!...respect).
Re: My Tour de France
Did you start in the wrong race?
Re: My Tour de France
There is only one race ... this is my 4th competitive event since May 2010, I have a long way to go to be fit. ALso I have a Catergorie 1 license so I couldn't do any easier race even if I wanted to .
Re: My Tour de France"no warning, no reason" LOL
The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
My Tour de FranceYup...bit of a pain in the pooper!. Just came off the dirt and onto a road section... Would have been in big ring and pretty high up on the rear, had only had one mis-shift all race and it was no very mucky. Luckily I am pretty quick with these things and locked up the rear wheel quick smart. Dura-ace derailleur is a bit bent but may be ok, chain seems ok as does the cassette. Will replace the outside drive spokes as they have marked up a bit... And of course the hanger, will order 2 today, it damaged the frame a bit around the top of the hanger but hopefully will be ok!.
Anyway crc got an order for ultegra derailleur and also another set of pedals as I will start taking my Mtb as a back up bike. At least I got a good 30 minutes in before it all went wrong!!!.
Re: My Tour de FranceFar out, what's happened to the world's climate. I rode in winter gear about 2 weeks ago
Got bored of my signature
My Tour de FranceYellow bar tape... Eek. This is on its 3rd wrap... It is so thick that it only just gets round the top curve!. Super comfy for big hands. Yellow ... My old club lost 60% membership because they wouldn't allow the racers to drop the yellow jersey for a black one!... So they started a new club instead
My Tour de FranceMike... Certainly compared to the last 3 years it is very mild. But they are saying it will be a white Christmas.

UK television actor David Spinx is getting more than he bargained for from his tour of Northern Norway. He has been caught by the Vikings at Borg, and gets to experience life as a medieval serf.
The Vikings have prepared a special reception for their guest from the faraway British Isles. Spinx feels there is something strange going on. And he is right:
"I knew it", says Spinx when the chieftain tells his guests that he has an Englishman for sale.
You need to watch the film to see how it goes.
You will not get caught and enslaved when coming to the Viking Museum at Borg, as Spinx has experienced. But if you book ahead, you can arrange a full banquet for your party, where everyone gets the chance to dress up in traditional Viking costumes. You will be welcomed by the chieftain, be served what the Vikings ate and drank, and even get a chance to chat about their costumes, traditions and folk stories.
The Viking Museum at Borg in the Lofoten Islands is a reconstruction of a 272-foot longhouse that was erected on the same site around 500 AD. There is also a reconstruction of the famous Gogstadskipet Viking Ship, waiting for visitors to take them out on the fjord.
The chieftain's longhouse is divided into three sections; one is where the Vikings cooked food, made clothes and did other kinds of indoor work. Here you get to learn about their everyday lives.
The next section is where they ate and held their parties. Even if you decline the full Viking banquet, you can still ward off your hunger with some Viking soup.
The final and third section offers exhibitions.
The Lofoten Islands are known for the old fishermen's cabins ("rorbuer") that have been restored and turned into modern accommodation for travellers. Find a fisherman's cabin, a hotel or a campsite in the Lofoten Islands.
Explore the Lofoten Islands on foot, go rafting in the Trollfjord and visit Lofotr Viking Museum. Taste stockfish and be amazed by the midnight sun. Read more about what to do in the Lofoten.
There are daily flights to the three airports in the Lofoten Islands. Travelling around Lofoten is most easily done by car, bike and ferries. Read more about transport to and in the Lofoten Islands.

Shawnee is a great place to live. In fact, the city was named as the no. 17 best place to live in the United States on CNN Money's 2010 list. Shawnee boasts an unrivaled sense of community with friendly local residents who are open and welcoming to newcomers. Nestled in the southwestern suburbs of Kansas City, Shawnee has always stood on its own with a plethora of local opportunities. The city lives under the slogan "Shawnee, Kansas… Good Starts Here," which shows how much people here believe in the community. Look for Shawnee apartments for rent, and join more than 63,000 residents who enjoy a high quality of life in the Midwest.
Shawnee's history dates back to the prehistoric era when the Shawnee Indians used the location as the political and religious center of the tribe. With a location on the Ft. Leavenworth/Ft. Scott military road, Shawnee was tied to the government-organized transportation routes that connected settlements in the Civil War era. In the mid-1800s, branches of the Oregon, California and Santa Fe Trails forged through the area, leading to increased trade and accessibility with other parts of the country. After the war, Shawnee became a very important agricultural service town, known as one of the leading fruit and vegetable producers in the Midwest. Local farmers supported the town through the Great Depression and allowed Shawnee residents to have a more favorable fare than many other parts of the country.
In the second half of the 20th century, Shawnee emerged as a rapidly growing city with an ethnic population and stimulating community involvement. Although Shawnee is a suburb of Kansas City, many people identify Monrovia and Zarah as suburbs of Shawnee. Residents fuel the local landscape with a larger range of activities and opportunities than most suburbs, allowing Shawnee to become a self-contained community and keeping Shawnee apartments in high demand.
The Central Baptist Theological Seminary may be the only school in town, but there are a number of traditional college opportunities located in the Kansas City metropolitan area. MidAmerica Nazarene University, Johnson County Community College and the Art Institutes International Kansas City join Avila University, the University of Missouri at Kansas City and Rockhurst University downtown in offering students a well-rounded college experience.
For those seeking work, Shawnee is home to a number of lucrative business industries. Professional and business services, retail, manufacturing and healthcare and social services are the dominant sectors in the area, joined by education, F.I.R.E, construction and natural resources, information and transportation and warehousing to make up most of the Shawnee workforce. The Shawnee Mission Medical Center is one of the largest employers in town with approximately 2,800 people working in medical, administrative and other support positions. Quest Diagnostics, Ivy Investment Management Company and the JCPenney Distribution Center are other top employers here, each providing jobs for more than 1,200 local residents.
With all of the perks of the Midwestern lifestyle, residents in Shawnee pay very reasonable rent prices. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, the standard apartment in Shawnee costs $770 a month. That's $100 less than the national average. Everyday living expenses are also very affordable in Shawnee. The city received a cost of living index of 88.1, which is well below the United States average of 100.
Shawnee has many must-see attractions. The 1950s All-Electric House at the Johnson County Museum of History offers an eye-opening look at the technology of the era, with "futuristic" features like electric curtain openers, trendy appliances, moon glow lighting and hidden televisions. Visitors can take a guided tour and understand why a home in the suburbs was part of the American dream in the 1950s. Residents can also get a taste of the past on the Historical Walking Tour, which showcases 18 points of interest around Shawnee for historians and trail enthusiasts.
Shawnee is home to the annual Scarecrow Festival, where kids can paint pumpkins and build scarecrows, and local businesses can participate in the Scarecrow Contest. The festival also features a farmers market and a baking contest with pumpkin pie, fruit pie and pumpkin bread categories. The Shawnee Great Grillers Blues and Barbeque State Championship also takes place annually in town, featuring the best of Midwestern barbeque. More than 100 teams compete for cash prizes and bragging rights in many different barbeque categories including a "People's Choice" that is voted on by public judges. Other local favorite events include Oktoberfest, the John Glaser Memorial 5K and Holiday Treasures Craft Festival.

Just for clarification, the current driver *does* support shaders and most of the games running on them are using shaders. What they don't support is GLSL - only the ARB_vp/fp shader language. The changes to support GLSL and OpenGL 2.0 will mostly be made in the mesa drivers, not radeon/radeonhd.
Availability of kernel modesetting (actually the GEM/TTM memory manager that comes with kernel modesetting) was a pre-requisite for some of the GL 2.0 functions, and also a pre-requisite for the Gallium3D drivers which will be the most likely path to GL 2.0. Now that KMS/GEM/TTM are available in the kernel tree, work on Gallium3D is starting to ramp up.
It's probably a bit early to make schedule estimates... maybe check back in a month.
