Fortunately, I have a back-up. Here it is.
Yes, I'm "sewing pretty with Hello Kitty" for at least the next week. This was my daughter's big Christmas gift—it's what we sewed Pumpkin the elephant on. One of my justifications for buying it was that it could serve as my back-up machine if mine ever broke down. And while it sews surprisingly well for the price, it's not exactly my ideal situation. : ) So I don't know how much I'll get done in the next week, but at least I have something I can use.
Bee blocks. I barely managed to squeak these out before my Babylock became unusable. If you missed the post about them, it's here.

The reinvented Audi A3 is poised to make a big splash in the compact sedan segment. The A3 abounds with attractive athleticism, and it pioneers and technology features such as a 4G LTE data connection and an advanced multi-media interface. Against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLA250, it more than holds its own and the overall package makes it hard to ignore.
Compare the 2015 Audi A3 against similar models
The Audi A3 is completely redesigned for 2015. Unlike previous model years, with the A3 positioned as a 4-door hatchback, the new A3 is instead a small sedan. The premium sedan is offered in three different trims, with either turbocharged 1.8L or 2.0L power mated to a 6-speed Audi S tronic dual-clutch transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with Audi's excellent quattro all-wheel drive available, and Audi claims the 2.0 is capable of 0-60 mph is 5.8 seconds. Arriving later in 2014 will be an A3 cabriolet, an A3 TDI clean diesel, and a potent S3, with a gasoline-electric hybrid A3 e-tron coming in 2015. Pricing for the new A3 sedan starts at $29,900.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

Below are the available colors for the 2015 Audi A3. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Audi A3 is all-new for 2015. The 2015 Audi A3 begins its third generation in the U.S. as a four-door sedan, the first time for this body style in the U.S. Three- and five-door hatchbacks and a convertible are right behind the new sedans. A premium-level vehicle, the Audi A3 boasts a high-quality interior with leather upholstery as standard equipment.
As cars in the compact segment keep getting bigger, manufacturers are creating new models to slip into the entry-level category. Audi is no exception; while the A4 sedan was once considered Audi's compact offering, the 2015 Audi A3 sedan now takes over as the smallest four-door in the lineup.
Riding on a new platform, the 2015 Audi A3 offers a choice of two drivetrains. The standard front-wheel-drive sedan uses a 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-4 that makes 170 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is EPA-rated at 23/33 mpg City/Highway.
Top-of-the-line A3 sedans come with Quattro all-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 good for 200 hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 24/33 mpg City/Highway.
Both models use a 6-speed dual clutch transmission.
Like all Audis, the interior of the 2015 A3 is of high quality, with soft-touch materials, a clean, simple layout, and attention to detail. Even the climate control knobs have a well-built, substantial feel in-hand. The standard display screen is thin and retracts elegantly into the dash when not in use.
The A3 is packed with many standard features not always found on base models, including leather upholstery, power driver's seat, power sunroof and automatic wipers.
A new version of Audi's MMI control interface also is also standard, with 4G LTE data connectivity that effectively turns the A4 into a mobile hotspot, allowing users to pair up to eight compatible devices. Navigation is powered by Google Earth and Google Street View, with real-time weather, traffic and gas prices.
Although it's a four-door sedan, the 2015 Audi A3 is best on long trips for front-seat passengers only, though rear space is adequate for average-sized adults on short commutes. Cargo space is average for the class with all seats in place, and split-folding rear seats, including a center pass-through slot, help to make the A3 more versatile.
The base 1.8-liter engine is fine in the A3 sedan, and would be an ideal choice for commuting or driving around town.
Plenty of power and thrust is on tap driving the top-of-the-line 2.0T Quattro, with the most satisfaction coming in the higher revs. Though we sometimes found ourselves wanting more from the dual-clutch transmission through the winding roads, especially between second and third gears. Ride and handling is comfortable, though we found it a little floaty when pushing it hard around corners on rougher roads.
The closest competitor to the 2015 Audi A3 sedan is the Mercedes-Benz CLA250, which also rides on a front-wheel-drive platform (with optional AWD). The CLA-Class offers more power for the money with its standard 208-hp turbocharged inline-4, though we think the Audi is better looking and comes with more standard features.
2015 Audi A3 sedans come in two basic models: A3 1.8T uses front-wheel drive and a 170-hp, 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-4. A3 2.0T models have Quattro all-wheel drive and are fitted with a 200-hp turbocharged inline-4. Both models are available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige.
A3 Premium ($29,900) includes air conditioning, leather upholstery, a 12-way power driver's seat, manually adjustable passenger's seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with multifunction controls, power windows/locks/mirrors, driver information system, cruise control, Bluetooth phone and streaming audio connectivity, 10-speaker audio system with single CD player, HD radio and satellite radio capability (with 90-day included subscription), SD card slot with 32GB capacity, panoramic sunroof, 60/40-split-folding rear seat, rain-sensing wipers, automatic Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and taillights and 17-inch alloy wheels. Options include navigation ($1,900), a Cold Weather Package ($500) with heated front seats, power adjustable side mirrors and heated windshield and washer nozzles.
A3 Premium Plus ($32,800) adds dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, aluminum interior trim, pushbutton start, and upgrades to 18-inch alloy wheels. Packages include Navigation Plus ($2,600) which adds navigation and the AudiConnect hotspot connectivity with six-month subscription, a Driver Assistance Package ($1,400) including blind-spot detection, parking sensors and rearview camera; a Convenience Package ($750) adds power-adjustable folding heated exterior mirrors, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror with digital compass, ambient LED interior lighting and an interior storage package.
A3 Prestige ($38,700) upgrades to a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and adds navigation plus Audi S-line interior and exterior trim. Options for the Prestige trim include an Advanced Technology Package ($1,400), which includes front collision mitigation, lane departure assist and adaptive cruise control.
A Sport package ($550) available on Premium Plus and Prestige trims adds front sport seats, a sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, and adjustable driving modes. In addition, many of the features found on Premium Plus and Prestige models are available as packages or stand-alone options on Premium trims.
Size-wise, the 2015 Audi A3 is about 10 inches shorter than the Audi A4 sedan, but longer than the Audi TT coupe. It's about seven inches shorter than the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
Design follows Audi's philosophy of placing two-thirds of the vehicle's mass below the daylight opening, or the space the windows occupy. Audi designers say concentrating volume at the bottom of the vehicle gives it a planted, aggressive stance.
Up front, the A3 uses Audi's signature trapezoidal single-frame grille, a tall, gaping maw with strong horizontal lines and the four-ring emblem affixed up top. Below, the grille is flanked on either side by air intakes that create a double-winged design. Daytime running lights are LED and are a unique shape to the A3 (with full-LED headlights on upper trim levels).
The roofline is more sloping than the A4, giving it a sportier appearance, but not curvy like the TT coupe, allowing for more rear headroom. A strong character line runs from the top corner of the wraparound headlight lenses, above the door handles and into the top corner of the LED taillights. A deep-cut, angular rocker panel rises sharply from the front fender to the rear. All new wheel designs appear on the 2015 A3 sedan, with standard 17-inch alloys on the base model.
In the rear, the curved decklid sits up high, with an integrated lip spoiler. New LED taillights are slimmer than before, and exhaust pipes are nestled in to the black plastic diffuser below.
Like all Audis, the interior of the 2015 A3 is of high quality, with soft-touch materials, a clean, simple layout, and attention to detail. Bauhaus is the word Audi designers use frequently in discussing the design of this third-generation Audi A3, yet they also insist the German minimalist philosophy was infused with some warmth, softening what could have otherwise been a too-austere look.
This is immediately evident in the dash design, a long, single piece, unfettered by the usual cut lines and variety of trim materials most carmakers use. The result is clean, yet in some ways almost boring. Fortunately, the dash material is a soft-touch plastic, with a feel and texture that keep it from seeming cheap. We were bothered, however, by a few blank buttons on the instrument panel and on the center console, a constant reminder that our car wasn't equipped with all the options.
The A3 is packed with many standard features not always found on base models, including leather upholstery, automatic climate control, power driver's seat, power sunroof and automatic wipers. Knobs and switches have a quality feel, more so than those found on the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class or the BMW 2 Series. Even the climate control knobs have a well-built, substantial feel.
The color display screen is thin and retracts into the dash when not in use, a more elegant design than the screen found in the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, which is stuck on top of the dash and not movable.
A new version of Audi's MMI control interface is equipped with 4G LTE data connectivity that effectively turns the A4 into a mobile hotspot, allowing users to pair up to eight compatible devices. Navigation is powered by Google Earth and Google Street View, with real-time weather, traffic and gas prices. (An updated plug-and-play architecture allows Audi to update MMI hardware and software more frequently during the life cycle of the model, to ensure A3s rolling off the assembly line will have the latest technology.)
But despite Audi billing the A3 sedan as avant-garde in the tech department, we were dismayed to find that our 2.0T test car in the base trim did not come with a USB port, only the Audi music interface, which uses a last-generation iPod/iPhone cable. Consequently, we scrambled to find an adapter for our iPhone 5s. Upper trim levels come with one USB port, but for charging only, it does not pair the device with the MMI.
The front seat fit us nicely, and look higher-end than the CLA's one-piece design. Smaller adults will especially like that the A3's seat cushions are not too long, meaning that average-sized people will be able to bend their knees while sitting. Bolsters also hugged us nicely, though our 6-foot-3 driving companion complained the seats weren't long or wide enough.
The Audi A3 is best on long trips for one or two. On paper, the A3 offers several inches more legroom and slightly more headroom than the CLA-Class, but we found rear-seat space adequate for average-sized adults on short commutes, not long drives.
Cargo space measures 12.2 cubic feet in the 1.8-liter base model, and only 10 cubic feet in the 2.0T model. That falls short compared with 13.1 cubic feet in the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 13.8 in the BMW 2 Series coupe. Split-folding rear seats, including a center pass-through slot, help to make the A3 more versatile.
We drove a front-wheel-drive 1.8T, but our longest drive in the Audi A3 to date has been in a 2.0T with Quattro all-wheel drive. This is the most expensive setup, with the most powerful engine and the best handling.
Plenty of power and thrust is on tap driving the top-of-the-line A3 2.0T Quattro, with the most satisfaction coming in the higher revs. Ride and handling is comfortable, though we found it a little disconnected and floaty when pushing it hard around corners on rougher roads.
The dual-clutch transmission worked well, but, as with all new cars, it's tuned to provide fuel economy over performance and will spin in the highest gear possible in normal driving. In manual mode, we found shifts to be on slow side, and we sometimes found ourselves wanting more, especially between second and third gears. Our pre-production cars were not equipped with paddle shifters, but Audi says a forthcoming sport package will offer this option, plus a lowered sport-tuned suspension that should provide more grip when cornering.
Noise, vibration and handling was fine on smooth roads, however, we did notice some wind- and road noise once pavement got bumpy, and on the freeway at speeds over 65 mph. At higher speeds, we had to raise our voices to converse with our fellow passengers.
We got only a short driving loop in the front-wheel-drive 1.8T sedan. As with the bigger engine, the 1.8-liter inline-4 does best in the mid- and higher revs, and has no problem merging on the onramp. We'd suggest this car for driving around town and the daily commute.
Four-wheel disc brakes on both models worked well, with an assured, yet not-too-bitey pedal feel.
The 2015 Audi A3 sedan is an attractive small sedan with adequate space and good road manners for those seeking a luxury car at an entry-level price. The 1.8T is a good choice for the daily commute. For better performance, opt for the 2.0-liter engine with all-wheel drive, but expect to pay more.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle All options that you select Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see. Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Kershaw looks to put LA back in first place
Vogelsong tasked with fending off Dodgers in San Francisco
The standards for Clayton Kershaw are so high and his performance so dominant that a quality start against the Cardinals last weekend was his worst outing in more than two months.
The Dodgers southpaw came into the game with eight wins and just five runs alowed in his previous 61 innings. On Sunday, he allowed three runs in a seven-inning no-decision, surrendering a game-tying, two-run home run to Peter Bourjos in the sixth inning.
By most measurements, Kershaw still pitched well enough to earn a win. But Kershaw isn't most pitchers, and he'll look to return to his otherworldly pace against the Giants on Saturday night, when first place in the National League West will be at stake. The Dodgers pulled within a half-game with an 8-1 win in Friday night's series opener.
"It was a struggle," Kershaw said of his last start. "I didn't really have a great idea where the ball was going for most of the night and then my offspeed stuff was pretty inconsistent, too. They made me pay for my mistakes, but I was able to battle and get through seven, which was good."
The All-Star Kershaw, who is 11-2 with a 1.92 ERA on the season, was dealt his first loss of the season by the Giants back in May in a similar seven-inning, three-run performance. Overall, though, he's 11-5 with a 1.48 ERA in 23 games (22 starts) against his San Francisco rivals in his career.
He'll face a Giants starter in Ryan Vogelsong who was also less than pleased with his previous outing. Vogelsong allowed four runs (three earned) on a career-high 11 hits in just three innings against the Phillies.
"I had no energy going into the game," he said. "I knew it was going to be a night where I had to battle."
Vogelsong is 5-7 with a 3.99 ERA, and the Giants are 11-9 in his starts this season.
In three starts against the Dodgers this year, Vogelsong is 0-0 with a 3.12 ERA.
Giants: Uggla thrown into the fire
Matchups against Dodgers co-aces Zack Greinke and Kershaw aren't exactly ideal housewarming gifts, but that's the conundrum Giants second baseman Dan Uggla was faced with after being promoted from Triple-A Fresno on Friday.
Manager Bruce Bochy had hoped to get Uggla more than the seven at-bats he got at Fresno, but with Ehire Adrianza and Marco Scutaro placed on the 15-day disabled list and Joe Panik nursing an ankle injury, the Giants couldn't afford to not call up Uggla and fellow infielder Tony Abreu. In a span of a week, the 34-year-old former Braves All-Star has gone from free agent to every-day-starter for a first-place team.
"It is what it is; you've got to face those guys some time or another," Uggla said Friday when asked about his tough first opponents as a Giant. "This is one of those battles you look forward to.
"You can try and draw out the perfect picture of how to join a team, but what does it really matter? They wanted me here now, and I'm more than happy to be here. It doesn't matter who it's against. I'm looking forward to helping this team win."
Dodgers: Puig at center of new-look outfield
The Dodgers' season-long outfield shuffle continued Friday, with Yasiel Puig -- primarily a right fielder -- starting in center field for the first time this season.
Manager Don Mattingly would not commit to the switch long-term.
"It could be a day. It could be a week. It could be forever," said Mattingly. "We don't know."
With Puig in center, Matt Kemp was back in right field, Carl Crawford back in left field and Andre Ethier back on the bench with Scott Van Slyke. Mattingly said it was Kemp's natural play in right during Puig's absence that sparked the switch.
Mattingly said he spoke to Puig about the need for communication among the outfielders. Earlier in the week, Mattingly said Puig's unbridled aggressiveness going into the gaps and charging shallow balls presents potential dangers to teammates.
"With this combination of players," said Mattingly, "this has a chance of being our best outfield."
Worth noting:
• The Giants are 41-15 when they hit at least one home run this season.
• The Dodgers announced Friday that they would skip struggling starter Dan Haren's next turn in the rotation.

I Don't Own My Website?
David Evans
Recently, a dentist friend of mine was thinking about upgrading his website to improve its appearance and so the site would rank higher on Google. Before committing to any changes, he asked me to review the site, which yielded some surprising results.
We started reviewing the site by looking at the home page and several treatment pages. I noticed that the content on the treatment pages seemed very canned and not individualized, particularly on the cosmetic dentistry related pages. I did some research and was amazed to discover that the content from my friend's site appeared on about 100 other dentistry websites.
Who Owns the Copyright in My Site?
"Well," I thought, "Who owns the copyright for this content?" The copyright notice at the bottom of the website indicated that both the website company and my friend—the dentist—owned it. But when the dentist contacted the website company to learn more, the horror story continued. He found out he had no rights to any of the content or design of the site. In fact, he did not even own the domain name of the site. The website company had registered the domain name and retained ownership. Essentially, when my friend decides to expand or improve his site, he has to work with the current website company or start over from scratch.
Don't Be Held Hostage —5 Important Questions to Ask
Obtaining the maximum benefit from a practice website is a long-term strategy. The site should be continually upgraded and improved over a number of years. If you do not want to be held hostage by your website development company, here are a few key questions to ask.
1. Who Owns the Domain Name of My Website?
The domain name of your website, e.g. www.johnsmithcosmeticdentist.com, is very important for branding your practice. It should appear in all of your marketing materials and brochures. Also, the age of the domain name can influence how high your site ranks on Google. The domain name should be a practice asset, and be completely owned and controlled by the practice. If you are starting out with a new website company, always ask who owns or will own the domain name of the site. If you already have a domain name, you can check the ownership by visiting www.whois.sc. If you are not listed as the "Registrar" of the domain name, then you may have a problem.
2. Do I Have Duplicate Content on My Site?
Customized and individualized website content is essential for creating a unique image for your practice. More importantly, if your content is the same as other websites, then Google is less likely to give your site high rankings. When developing or upgrading your website, always ask whether the content will be unique and whether the same content appears on other websites. You can easily check to see if your content has been duplicated. Simply copy a sentence or two of the content from a page in the site and then Google it. Google will show matches for every other website that has exactly the same content.
3. Do I Own the Design of My Site?
When you contract to have a new website built, find out who will own the graphical images and design. Even if you personally write the content of the site, you need to own the design. If you don't, moving the website to a different company for expansion may mean the site has to be rebuilt at your expense.
4. Who Pays the Licensing Fees for Photos on My Site?
Many of the photos that appear in dentistry websites are from online photo catalogues that require a licensing fee. Always find out who will own the photos on the site and whether there are any ongoing licensing fees. Some of the larger suppliers of photos, such as Getty Images, are very aggressive about pursuing the owners of websites who use their images without proper licensing fees. Don't get caught by one of these companies with unlicensed photos on your site.
5. What About Flash and Video Files?
Access to and ownership of the source code for the Flash and video files is essential if you want to transfer data to your website without a hitch. When you contract with a website company for a site that contains Flash, video or both, always find out who owns the rights to the source code. If you do not own the source code, then often you may have to pay to have these files recreated once you decide expand or redesign your site.
By asking a few questions up front to ensure you own all aspects of your site and domain name, you can avoid starting over each time you want to expand your website and online visibility.

REVIEW: Lone Survivor
The title tells the story in this very-hard-to-watch story of Navy Seals who died heroes in
Mark Wahlberg , Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster , Emile Hirsch and Eric Bana are all in top form. But we don't get much back story to these real-life heroes. So we don't know all that much about them . Most of the film is spent in the thick of a very-out manned skirmish. It's grueling and gruesome. And amazing that anyone could have this much bravery.

School board compromises on school start date
Dell Rapids School District's 2014-2015 academic year will start a week later than usual after a divided school board approved next year's calendar Monday.The board has been mulling the idea of starting classes after Labor Day since an online poll revealed public support for a later start date. Because the holiday sometimes occurs as late as Sept. 7, board members and school administration agreed a precedent for starting after Labor Day isn't prudent. Rather, the conversation should revolve around starting classes during the first week of September, not necessarily following Labor Day."We keep focusing on traditional or after Labor Day. Maybe there's a way to get somewhere in the middle," said Summer Schultz, district superintendent, at a special board meeting to address the academic calendar. There she presented three calendar proposals for the 2014-2015 school year. One maintained tradition and called for classes to start Aug. 19 and let out May 15, 2015. An alternative calendar had classes beginning Sept. 2 and letting out May 22. A third option – the one approved by the board – starts classes Aug. 27 with school letting out May 21."If starting school on the eighth of September seems kind of late, but starting school on Aug. 18 seems really early, well maybe next year we can go closer to the beginning of September," Schultz said.More than a dozen parents, teachers and concerned community members filled the school board chambers at the high school and each had a different take on when school ought to start for the year.Teachers who testified on the proposed calendars favored starting classes the third week in August. Tom Wolff, a vocational teacher at the high school and the staff representative for the Dell Rapids Superintendent's Cabinet, said starting later than the third week in August hinders teachers' ability to adequately prepare students for state tests, which must be taken by a set date. Starting school later would require the first semester to extend past Christmas break, Wolff said, even though some advanced-placement courses taken by high school students might require course completion at an earlier date.Student athletes participating in fall sports like football, cross country, volleyball and competitive cheer start practicing in the beginning or middle of August. "It puts students at a disadvantage," he said. Board member Matt Weiland, who wants a September start date, pointed to the Minnesota school system when he said some of the perceived challenges might be overstated."Minnesota has a state law that they can't start until after Labor Day, and traditionally Minnesota schools beat South Dakota schools academically," he said. "Where's the academic advantage there? I don't think we can necessarily say that just because we start after Labor Day results are going to drop." Minnesota school districts must apply for a waiver from the state education department if an education board wants to start the year prior to Labor Day, and state testing and event scheduling is concurrent with a post-Labor Day start date."The state of Minnesota has all of their school laws geared around that Labor Day start date," said Steve Stofferahn, school board member. "In South Dakota it's not. So the later we start, the less of a head start our kids have academically to get these tests done."Despite the concerns, the superintendent's cabinet, comprised of staff and administration from the elementary, middle and high schools, agreed to endorse starting school on Aug. 27. "We felt that was a compromise. But even that fourth week in August is still not the best choice because of some academic repercussions," Wolff said. Board member Troy Randall seconded board president Tom Morris' motion to start school during the fourth week in August. Weiland was the lone nay vote.The first semester of the 2014-2015 school year will conclude January 16, 2015, two weeks after Christmas break.

Foam usually equals over-carbonation, or, if desired, very high level of carbonation. This could be due to the style of beer or poor bottling practice.
Rogue makes a wide variety of different beers, some with lots of foams, some nearly flat. A bad bottle can get through anyone's QC process now and then (although I've personally never had a bad Rogue), but I would assume that, in this case, it's probably the style.Incidentally, being an Oregon beer (where I grew up), Rogue tends to use a lot of bittering hops, and I'd be curious how that translates into dough/crust flavor....
Some of my favorite beer to use in the dough making process is called a Double Bock. Samuel Adams has been making a great Double Bock. However, I recently found a Samuel Adams "CINDER BOCK".
i am hoping that this beer will give the pizza that "wood fire pizza oven taste", since it has that Smokey flavor to it.
FWIW - there is no smoky taste in a WFO pizza. It bakes too fast and at way to high a temp to get any smoke flavor.CL

re-connecting chains

re-connecting chainshas anyone else tried to connect a chain with pins previously pushed out of the chain to shorten it?
i accidentally cut my new chain too short, so i thought i'd conduct an experiment by reconnecting the 'old' pin (not the special one that shimano chains come with). it didn't work. well, it did for a while, then it popped. i was careful to ensure the pin was properly positioned too - seated nice and flush against both end plates. ok, so kinda obvious. i've since reconnected it with the special pin (tonight... i hope it works). purely out of curiosity, has anyone tried this, with better success?
Re: re-connecting chainsPlenty of noobs have tried it...oh, you mean with better success.
Not worth losing the use of bits of your anatomy to find out. Personally I'd be using a KMC quick link. Cheap, effective, reusable (on the same chain), safe.
Re: re-connecting chainsWhat he said.
The reason Shamino have the special joining pin is they peen the ends of the pins during construction. Pressing them out damages the peened end meaning they won't hold. Unlike Nobody tho', I'll recommend Connex chains. I've broken plenty of chains from most makers over the years but only one Connex. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: re-connecting chainsthanks guys. i am already using a quick link, but i cut the chain too short. it did cross my mind to use 2 quick links, but i resisted that temptation
Re: re-connecting chainsI used to use Connex but changed to KMC as for me Connex 9 speed chains were initially noisy on Shimano cogs like they had to be worn-in for the first 100 Kms or so. I may have broken a Shimano chain in the '90s (too long ago to remember ) but I haven't broken any chains in recent history. Last edited by Nobody on Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:35 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: re-connecting chainsSooo, how did you come to cut the chain too short?
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: re-connecting chainsone of them (SRAM?) seems to require pliers to squeeze them together when joining - the good thing about connex (and KMC?) is that you can hand-join them, which is vital for roadside repairs. as i found out today
Re: re-connecting chains
measure twice, cut once - said someone smarter than me!
Re: re-connecting chainsHere comes the KMC sales rep impression.
Re: re-connecting chainsI never had a problem hand joining the SRAM link. You just have to squint and poke no more than 7mm of tongue out of the left side of your mouth
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: re-connecting chains
I have used two connex links a few times... Zero issues. I love their chains, especially due to the amount of different drive train set ups I run. SRAM joining links are such a pain in the ear that they might as well call them permanent!.
Re: re-connecting chainsApologies if this is hijacking a thread. Toolonglegs, in the last 6 weeks I have snapped a 9 speed chain and an 11 speed chain at the Connex joining link. Like you I am a big, strong rider putting lots of power through the drive chain.
The bike shop is mystified, I am mystified... They and I have used Connex joining links for years without problems. Maybe it's a dud batch - but two sizes? Anyway, I'm not such a big fan of Connex now! Andrew
Re: re-connecting chainsTLL said he has never broken a chain (IIRC). No, I'm not stalking you TLL, I just remember certain things.
Re: re-connecting chains
what's actually breaking?
Re: re-connecting chains
Close .... never broken a chain on a road bike... broken a few mtb ones.
Re: re-connecting chainsDon't know about todays' chains but used to do this all the time on my road and track bikes without a problem.
Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: re-connecting chains
That's it? Didn't start with 'when I was a lad' either. Yes, the wider bushed chains were a lot more robust. The requirement for a special tool to peen the ends of the campag 11-speed says to me that it's getting beyond the ability of 'average' users. From a safety perspective, that is. Then again, I thought the same with carbon fibre, and the failure stories don't seem that common. Sent from my iThingy... I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: re-connecting chainsJules, I'm not sure what's breaking - the pin or the link itself (by that I mean the bits the pin goes through) but there is not much left when I have examined the chain.
Re: re-connecting chains
The SRAM powerlock are permanent. If you buy the right pliers though you can decouple them in 2 seconds though. Our Website is: http://www.pro-liteoz.com Find us on Facebook by searching for "Pro-Lite Australia"
Re: re-connecting chains
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the later and higher speed chain versions are a use once affair. As for re-using a pushed out pin, I use 8 speed (on a seven speed setup) sram chain. My bike needs more than a standard amount of links due to long chainstays. To join the extra piece of chain I just use the pushed out pin and have done it this way for years with no issue. I also use a sram joiner to link the two ends of the chain together and (luckily it sounds) have had no problems separating them with my fingers alone. I did try using a sram connector with my last mountain bikes shimano seven speed chain and could never separate the link via hand and had to take it to the shop to get done. Your thread reminded me of the frustration. http://sheldonbrown.com/chains.html "[The 7 or 8 speed SRAM PowerLink works with SRAM and Shimano chains, probably others too. The 9-speed PowerLink works reliably with SRAM chains, but it reportedly may lead to a Shimano chain's jumping forward. The 10-speed SRAM Powerlock (note different name) is good for one-time use only: This results in annoying expense, and also the replacement link is shorter than the other links, and can result in a noticable "clunk" each time it comes around. You're better off sticking with 9 or fewer rear sprockets. You can easily remove a PowerLink by placing the jaws of a needle-nose pliers diagonally across the link to press the side plates out of position. You can use larger-jaw pliers if you form a "Z" of chain links with the PowerLink as the diagonal part. This is easiest if the chain is hanging slack. Park Tool also has a special tool for PowerLink removal, and this is easiest of all. Shimano chains 9-speed and up are only reattachable by inserting a special. new link pin, using a special tool -- John Allen]" Surly Ogre, Carry Freedom Y-frame Trailer, Extrawheel trailer.
Re: re-connecting chains
this may be insulting to ask so please don't take offence, but is it possible you're not connecting them properly? that's all i can think of - i've used connex links for 1000s and 1000s of km and never broken one. you may be making more power than me but in theory i'm sure they're designed to cope with far more stress than we're putting through them.
Re: re-connecting chains
Notwithstanding all the good advice on this thread I will say that I've split andrejoined probably 100+ Shimano chains over the last 20 years using one of the regular pins and I've never had one fail on me.
Re: re-connecting chainsIt's torque that kills transmissions, a function of weight in this scenario. Most bike chains are good for more than 1 Tonne I've read (IIRC).
Re: re-connecting chainsSo what special thing do you do to the regular pins and what do you weigh?
Re: re-connecting chains
i had two fail on me in short succession! i was careful to ensure both pins were precisely inserted, but the plates still popped off the end of the pins. in one case, i was pushing hard up a hill for a PR on strava - probably 300w (this is just a wild guess - but i'm 80+ kg and my time on a popular segment was top 10-15%). if i'm doing something wrong i'd be interested to hear..

Kosher Salads & Salad Dressings
Shirazi Salad |
KosherEye.comPersian Food from the Non-persian Bride, by Reyna Simnegar Did you ever hear the rumor that Sephardic men never ever, ever do any housework? Well, I can testify that my father-in-law, Ezzy, has never, ever changed a diaper! However, he is the best fruit-and-vegetable-cutter there is! If you want anything peeled, chopped, or cut—he is the man! So, whenever he comes to visit I know I can count on him to do all my chopping! So much for stereotypes! When it comes to Shirazi salad, he is my personal chopper! You might think this salad is almost identical to Israeli salad, and you might be right—just don't say it to any one born in Shiraz! Many people use cilantro in this recipe instead of mint. It is fabulous either way. Ingredients: Salad: Dressing: Garnish: Directions: Mix all vegetables together. Right before serving pour dressing over and toss salad. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Notes: Yield: 3 cups Watch Reyna demonstrate how to prepare Shirazi Salad.

We're sorry, this product is currently unavailable. Don't worry, we have more Men's Road Running Shoes in stock.
Contact Us for future availability.
Embrace the ground beneath you with the featherweight feel and pliable flex of the Brooks PureConnect 2 Road Running Shoe for men. This slim and nimble turn-hugger is the perfect fit when you crave less shoe and more freedom. A split toe groove extends toward the midfoot, engaging the natural movement of the foot and letting you feel every nuance of the run. With rad looks, the baby is ready to run, right out of the box.
Just like Brooks core line, they hold PureProject to the industry�s highest wear test and durability standards. Because of their lightweight construction and fewer materials, runners should generally expect shoes from the PureProject line to last approximately 250-300 miles.
� Brooks DNA - provides custom cushioning for runners of all types and sizes. Engineered from what's called a non-Newtonian liquid, this midsole technology responds to the amount of force placed on the foot and disperses
� BioMogo - Among Brooks proudest achievements is the creation of the BioMogo midsole, one of the sporting goods industry's most exciting environmental innovations ever. Traditional midsoles made of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate� (EVA) are one of the least biodegradable shoe components, lasting up to 1,000 years in a landfill. Brooks added a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound that encourages anaerobic microbes to munch away once the material hits an active, enclosed landfill. A five-year study found that BioMoGo degrades 50 times faster than the standard midsole in anaerobic conditions, and will save 29.9 million pounds of landfill waste in roughly 20 to 25 years. BioMoGo made its debut in the Trance 8 in 2009, and by 2010, was available in most of Brooks men's and women's performance running shoes. BioMoGo technology represents valuable intellectual property resulting from major investment of resources, yet Brooks decided at the outset to treat this advancement as an "open source" innovation.
� Ideal Heel � Brooks� signature inverted heel promotes a natural foot strike by landing in a more forward position on the foot. This aligns the runner�s center of gravity and encourages optimal energy return.
� Toe Flex � A toe box split allows the big toe to function independently and engage the runner�s natural balance. Flexible materials empower a more efficient push off during the propulsion phase
� Nav Band � This flexible band wraps over the instep to comfortably secure the foot in place. The dynamic stretch provides just the right amount of reinforcement and conforms to individual foot shapes and sizes.
� Anatomical Last � Designed from an anatomical form, the shoe�s shape contours the foot for a glove-like feel and provides support for every part of the foot.
� Category: Neutral
� Platform: Anatomical Last
� Construction: Stroebel
� Weight: 7.2 oz

Tokyo evening sketch
This one I drew on the street. It was very cold and the paint didn't dry well.
Then I found a cafe and had a seat where I was able to see almost same street view that I have drawn, and this time I could enjoy warmth of the room with hot coffee.

Like many of you mentioned, my results were surely influenced by each state. In the cold, my fingers won't move as I want, and need to strive to find solution or just finish a little earlier stage and that way helps preventing overwork as a result.., while in the warmth I have more freedom and choice both mentally and physically.

Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionFirst big ride for the year, 171km. Needed a training ride before alpine classic in 2 weeks. Second longest ride I've ever done, and I'm a little bit more confident about finishing the 200 classic now
"It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionNice one Oldnewby You'll be on fire on the AAC for sure.
I was supposed to be riding a 200km brevet today, however the last BOM forecast on friday promised 38c+ on the route - coupled with a severe fire warning, so as the organiser, I cancelled the ride. Too risky. As a consolation a few of the local riders planned to ride early, stay by the coast and head in the opposite direction for quick 100km before the heat hit. We enjoyed a bit of warmth early on as the sun rose, but cloud cover eased the burn and by the time we were at Bald Hill it was remarkably cool with a north westerly wind blowing with some vigour. We dropped down into the RNP, which is generally nice and cool, climb up to Waterfall and after a rest turn to head back down and out. Then the bloody southerly change comes through just as we get out of the park at 9.30am. Temperatures are now down to low 20s but the gusty southerly is smack in our face, making for a long hard slog back home. There was also quite a bit of smoke coming up from the Shoalhaven fire with the wind which made it asthmatic and long and hard. As it turns out, it would have been the coldest Tallowa Dam ride in living memory, (Nowra temps didn't get above 25c) and with a tailwind on the way home Thank you alarmist weather modeling, thank you very much
Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition

Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition
Just read your post in AAC thread, 171km and 4200m! That's awesome!!
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionCheers grantw, nice going for you too - bugger you couldn't do the 200. Yeah I'm looking fwd to the AAC see you there!

Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition
Yeah but I haven't uploaded yet And that's got nothing to do with navy boys..... No ride till Tuesday so will have to play catch up this week, unlike that Lisa chick who is smashing it atm
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionI am having a better start than even last years! I'm flying!
Today I did my annual ride-my-age. I have yet to work it out exactly but it was a personal best - 68km, perhaps a little more. And still felt able to keep going. Unusual over the last 18 months or so. And I reckon those fountains in Forest Chase area real winner. A cold shower on the way out and another on the way home. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition
Yeah well that Lisa chick is off the bike for 4 days after Thursday so she is hitting the road while she can...flying to NZ for 4 days so there will be no riding I am trying to build a buffer to make up for the time away Lisa
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionI'm edging ahead by 96km! I didn't really think I'd be ahead in January let alone at this point!
I'm on holiday for the last week so I'll be on par at the end of January I reckon.
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionOK - I have done the easy bit - buidling up kms on the unicycle.
You can see my sig line is still the Bike Journal one but is simply adding this years rides on to last years rides. The target distance reflects my new target but it is labelled as 2012 target. So, questions...

Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionCan anyone tell me how to change the graph thingy below so it shows 2013 stats? Apologies if this has been discussed earlier.
Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition
Same here. Strava online says I've done 21KM but the graph below still says 41. I think I'll stick to manual uploads, more accurate from my speedo. DS Riding: Cannondale Quick Speed 2
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionI'm a newb on Strava and on this forum, but I'll give the 6K a go. I should be alright, my commute is currently 160km/wk. New baby and winter are major obstacles for me though........
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionWelcome aboard jham66, and congrats on new baby, is that on the way or here now?
That's massive oldnewby, sounds like your more than ready for the Classic, you'd even be ready for the Extreme, you managed a similar amount of climbing. Don't know that I'll get to do anything close to that in my training. Cut my climb of Macquarie Pass a little short today when I started entering the fog and realised I didn't have lights on the bike. Did another little climb on the way home to make up for it though and got he 1000m I was aiming for.
Re: 6K Club 2013 Editioncheers sblack, you doing the AAC? What distance?
All I could think of as I got past 130-140km of the ride I did on the weekend was "I'll have this many km's in the legs, and I'll have to climb Mt Buffalo now" ouch! "It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionAll ready to leave for work this morning when I found my rear wheel had a puncture. Those Stans 29er rims are way too hard to get the tyres off so I drove to work.
Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition
Yeah, I'm heading down for the 200, should be my toughest road ride to date, while I've done longer rides I haven't done as much vertically on one ride and I think that hurts more than the extra distance.
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionAwesome, enjoy! Yeah it will be a tough day alright, but absolutely can't wait.
Hopefully see you there! "It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 6K Club 2013 Edition
Welcome and congrats on the new bubs jham66. I am in a similar situation, expecting new baby in winter, so it will be a challenge making the kms....but I'll give it a red hot crack...
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionYou know you have it sorted when bub wakes you at 3 am & your response is "we'll I'm up anyway, may as well go for a ride"
. . . . . . .
Re: 6K Club 2013 EditionYep - just remember to change the bub before you head out.
I might have to start getting up at 3am to get my total back on track.

One of these days, the Digital 395 project will be completed.
It might take a year to get the big, fat Internet broadband pipe working at top efficiencyŌĆömaybe even a little bit longer than that.
But when more high-speed access becomes available to Eastern Sierra residents and businesses, the question is if people will be ready to take advantage of it.
An exhaustive new study by the Sierra Business Council (SBC), presented to the Mammoth Lakes Town Council and Mono County Board of Supervisors this week, suggests the time is now for Eastside businesses and individuals to begin mapping their digital strategies.
To fail in creating a digital strategy would be a failure to take advantage of ŌĆ£the single most important opportunity to expand sales, profits and employment in rural small businesses in decades,ŌĆØ the report stated.
ŌĆ£This issue of how high-speed communications is actually going to affect small businesses is critical,ŌĆØ said Mayor Pro Tem Rick Wood from the dais during the council meeting Wednesday.
ŌĆ£This is a wave that is going to sweep across the nation over the next 20 to 30 years, and if we donŌĆÖt start getting a handle on it now, itŌĆÖs really going to be devastating for small businesses.ŌĆØ
The authors of the 175-page report, using data and observations from 80 individuals on the Eastside and called ŌĆ£Eastern Sierra: Innovation and Prosperity,ŌĆØ said many people wouldnŌĆÖt recognize the digital opportunity if it came up and bit them in the foot.
ŌĆ£Lack of economic diversification has been an underlying economic issue in Inyo and Mono counties for many decades,ŌĆØ the report stated.
ŌĆ£One bad winter, one closed road or one failed industry can have a disproportionate impact on a rural community.
ŌĆ£Both counties continue to lag behind historic growth in the State of California and often behave counter to state growth and industry trends.
ŌĆ£The decline of natural resource industries has also left these two counties vulnerable to economic shock from a decline in any single sector.ŌĆØ
Later, the SBCŌĆÖs Steve Frisch, who presented the report, said another historical factor hindering economic growth has been the absence of research universities to help inform, study and guide the local area.
To examine the overall economic picture, the authors divided the Mono and Inyo economies into five economic ŌĆ£prosperity clusters.ŌĆØ
The clusters are interrelated. Growth in any one cluster encourages growth in the others.
At the center of the stage is Internet technology, which would affect the other four clusters of renewable energy, tourism and the arts, recreation, and agriculture.
ŌĆ£What higher speed service does exist is spotty and inconsistent, suffering numerous outages or isolation events,ŌĆØ the authors wrote in the report.
ŌĆ£As a result, broadband adoption rates are very low on the east side, compared to the rest of the State of CaliforniaŌĆöonly about 14 percent compared to more than 50 percent statewide.
ŌĆ£In addition, because broadband adoption rates are higher for higher income individuals and businesses, the ŌĆśdigital divideŌĆÖ often leaves those in lower socioeconomic categories behind as the digital economy develops.ŌĆØ
The result has had a deadening effect, the report stated.
ŌĆ£This condition leaves Eastside businesses and community assets isolated from access to national and global markets, and travelers isolated from real time digital information about the region.
ŌĆ£Connectivity has become so much a part of modern life that many families or business people will not even consider traveling to a region that does not offer access to high-speed communications.ŌĆØ
The authors of the report said the Digital 395 project would go a long way toward solving the most vexing problem: access.
In addition, the report suggested there are quantifiable projections of what Digital 395 might mean in the near future.
First, the report suggests 500 new jobs would open immediately related to the installation of the broadband infrastructure.
Moreover, it would expand entrepreneurial platforms for new businesses and expand medical, educational, commercial and military applications.
But there is little time to waste, even a year out, the report suggested.
ŌĆ£The primary recommendation is to immediately embark on a regional e-commerce development and deployment strategy with the goal of boosting market access and increasing the revenue for small businesses and community assets.ŌĆØ
The report included a variety of government and private resources for helping businesses develop digital strategies, all aimed at creating a digital business environment that would fall in line with the rest of the U.S. and global economies.

There are many different companies that offer high speed internet, but not many of them have the same kind of reputation that HughesNet has. This company has been providing individuals and businesses all across the country with satellite internet services that have gone unmatched in terms of both speed and reliability. Another reason that so many people have subscribed to HughesNet is because of the fact that they offer cheap internet with no decrease in quality. A lot of internet service providers that have low priced internet packages are not reliable and do not have fast internet, but that is definitely not the case with this company.
When you use satellite internet you will instantly notice the difference, especially if you are used to DSL, cable, or dialup. The satellite technology that HughesNet uses is extremely powerful and state-of-the-art, so you will be able to count on getting a stable and fast internet connection that will very rarely go out or slow down. Most people who switch to satellite internet never go back to regular broadband, simply because it is faster and more dependable.
HughesNet offers high speed internet solutions for both businesses and individuals who need a fast and stable connection. It is especially important for businesses that host their own websites to have internet that is constantly on and working, which is why more and more of them have started switching to satellite internet. This company has a reputation for providing all different types of customers across the country with these services and has a wide variety of packages to meet everyone's needs. No matter what you happen to be looking for when it comes to an internet service provider or a certain package, you can count on HughesNet to have it.
Those who live in rural parts of the United States where there aren't very many options when it comes to internet service providers will find that HughesNet offers coverage in a lot of different areas of numerous states. This means that more people than ever before can enjoy the benefits of high speed satellite internet, even if they live in an area that is extremely isolated and rural. Nobody should have to settle for substandard internet, no matter where they happen to live.
One of the hallmarks of satellite internet is its speed. When you begin using HughesNet internet, you will instantly notice how fast it is, especially when compared to DSL or cable. Broadband internet can't even compare to the speed of satellite internet, which is why so many people have started making the switch. There are a lot of internet service providers across the country, but HughesNet is definitely one of the better options for those who refuse to settle for anything less than the very best. When it comes to getting cheap internet service that is also reliable, this company is without a doubt the best choice you can make.

I had never owned a gold band with diamonds, my thought was this would be pretty and durable. The price is great, but you are only getting what you are paying for... I got married 3/1/13 and already one of the stones is uneven, looks like it's going to fall out and there is no shine to the bold band, the smooth area is very scratched, and I've even taken to the jeweler to have buffed a few months ago. I wish I had purchased from a local store and they cover their purchases with lifetime care of the ring. Now every time I want it to be shiny or need to have it taken care of, I'm paying out of pocket. So there goes the great value.
