The Maxxis Minion DHF was designed for loose and muddy conditions. In fact, it was designed after the NORBA downhill racing series. The Maxxis Minion DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel- cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight- line control, and precise cornering. The single ply casing keeps the Minion's weight as low as possible.

Comments about Maxxis DHF Steel Bead Single Ply Tire:
I bought this tire when it was on sale to give it a try and the only thing I regret is not buying more. This tire grips to the ground like nothing else you can pull a bar drag and it still won't slip out. If you're looking for a nice tire to really go mountain riding this is perfect.

Comments about Maxxis DHF Steel Bead Single Ply Tire:
The Minion DHF Single Ply is the best all around front tire I've tried. Sure, there are lighter tires that roll better, but traction suffers and they are not as durable. The DHF tread excels in most conditions, a little slow on the hardpack and will pack up in deep mud. Otherwise, fantastic. I've used the Super-tacky which is listed as "race use only" but I got over 2 seasons of recreactional use out of it. I'm sure the Maxxpro compound will last a long time.

When it rains, it stinks at Lynnwood condos
A battle over sewage pits condo residents against Lynnwood

Sandbags flank a creek that runs through the Casa Del Rey condo complex in Lynnwood, which overflows during storms and floods lower-level condos.

Genna Martin / The Herald
Roz Smith, board secretary and nine-year resident of the Casa Del Rey condo complex in Lynnwood, has been involved in the cleanup of repeated sewage flooding of a first floor unit and the cabana (pictured) at the complex. Residents are fighting the city over who will pay for $100,000 in temporary repairs before the city can complete a $5.6 million fix in 2015.
When a storm hits the Casa Del Rey Condominiums in Lynnwood, sewage burbles up in bathtubs, shower drains and kitchen sinks. Sheri Cooley and her partner hurry to shower and cook dinner before the flooding.
Once it starts, they have to go to a minimart up the street, buying mints or candy so they can use the bathroom as paying customers, she said.
Casa Del Rey, a 46-unit complex on 56th Avenue W., has endured repeated sewage backups since fall 2012. Heavy storms overwhelm the city's sewer system with rainwater, sending waste up through the pipes and into about a half-dozen lower-level units.
The condo owners and City Hall have been working together on a solution, but not everyone's happy with the outcome.
A $5.6 million lift station is planned that should solve the problem in 2015, said city public works director Bill Franz. The city recently offered to pay $80,000 for a temporary fix if the condo owners pay $20,000. The temporary fix would include installing back-flow flaps and pumps to prevent sewage flooding until the new lift station is complete.
The city now has collected bids for the temporary fix, and the total price tag may be cheaper, Franz said.
Before the work can commence though, the city wants the homeowners to sign a legal release waiving their right to sue over future sewage problems, documents show.
The condo owners say they've already spent $26,000 on sewage cleanup. They say they shouldn't have to spend any more money for problems stemming from the public sewer system.
They also say they were privately urged by city staff to speak up in support for utility tax increases so the revenues could be used to fix the sewer system.
The City Council proposed sharing the costs for the temporary fix to keep in line with state laws that ban government from spending public money on private property, Councilman Sid Roberts said.
"Everyone on the council felt horrible for Casa Del Rey, and yet we felt like we had to walk a fine line between pleasing them and meeting their need and getting sideways with state law," he said. "I think the administration came up with a pretty good fix."
Most of all, though, the folks at Casa Del Rey just want the issue resolved before enduring another rainy season, said Roz Smith, who's lived in a second-floor unit for eight years. Once the agreement is signed, the pumps and other equipment could take weeks to arrive, she said.
City Councilwoman Kerri Lonergan-Dreke, whose term ends this year, has been sympathetic to the condo board. Last week, she called the city's response "heartless." Similar problems in Everett took weeks, not years, to address, she said.
The city is making people live in Third World conditions, Lonergan-Dreke said.
"I'm embarrassed to be representing a city that treats its citizens this poorly, and this is a perfect example of it," she said.
The condominiums sit along Scriber Creek, just north of Scriber Lake. The sewage floods used to primarily affect a commercial property adjacent to Casa Del Rey. That property owner paid for his own fixes to divert the overflow from his land. That's spilling sewage into the condo complex, people there say.
At least one nearby business had to close twice due to sewage flooding. The condo owners say they don't fault the land owner protecting his property. He declined to be interviewed for this story.
When it floods now, the condo owners can't use showers, sinks and toilets without the back-up flooding the lower-level units. The on-site laundry rooms get shut down. The problems persist for days, Cooley said.
They brought their concerns to City Council, but still feel ignored, said Eric Whitehead, an engineer and condo board member.
"We kind of just got pushed to the side," Whitehead said. "We just kept being told it was a private matter. If we could do something, we would do something."
The condo board also worries about the sewage going into Scriber Creek, Whitehead said.
In addition to protecting the condo buildings, the planned lift station will prevent waste from overflowing into the stream, Franz said.
The condo board members know they could file a claim and sue the city, but a previous experience with a leaky fire hydrant taught them that hiring a lawyer can cost as much as a fix, Whitehead said.
Some problems at Casa Del Rey are aggravated when people who live in upper-level condos ignore lower-level flooding and continue to flush their toilets and use sinks when the system already is backed up, said Franz, the public works director.
Lynnwood's sewer system dates back to the early 1960s, shortly after the city incorporated, he said. Other local cities also struggle with sewage overflow after storms.
Public works staff are committed to following through on the council's recommendation for the short-term and long-term fixes, Franz said. Construction began this summer to install a new sewer main at a similar trouble spot along 76th Avenue W., he said. That project is wrapping up.
The City Council worked closely with the city attorney on their proposed solution for Casa Del Rey, Roberts said.
"We deliberated over what was the right thing to do," he said. "We tried to walk as carefully as we could and get it fixed for them."
Most of the time, Casa Del Rey is a great place to live, with beautiful grounds, Cooley said. That's why she's stayed.
During the last sewage flooding, she asked her boss if she could sleep on the floor at work and shower there, she said. She cooked at work, too. The windstorm this past weekend made her nervous.
"Even in the summer when it rained, I had anxiety," she said.

a marriage bann?
a marriage bond?
a marriage license?
a marriage license application?
a marriage announcement?
a marriage record book?
a marriage intent?
a minister's return?
Depending on your locality's laws and customs, the types of documents necessary to legalize a marriage will likely be one or more of the above types, but there are subtle differences between them all and it will help you in all of your research to scrutinize and understand the differences between them. Most professional genealogy books, such as Evidence Explained, will discuss them, in addition to all the good genealogy articles and training available online.
Many localities had pre-printed forms such as the one shown above from Hardin County, Tennessee. This page is from the "Marriage Records" book–sort of a catchall term whose contents can vary greatly from location to location. A prudent researcher who examines the above page closely will notice that it has several different sections:
- the posting of a bond that requires a surety
- a section requiring consent if underage
- the actual license to marry, and
- a space for the minister to "return" the actual date of marriage.
This represents a common scenario. Most ministers were required to have a license from the couplegiving him permission to perform the marriage. Sometimes, the county court clerk tracked marriage license applicants in a register–or it may be called an index. I've seen places where the register survives, but the actual licenses do not that may contain more information, such as parents names. The minister was supposed to "return" the information regarding the actual marriage date and place; you'll find some places had entire books of nothing but those "minister's returns". Maybe the court clerk's marriage books don't survive, but dusty boxes full of the actual licenses do. Maybe none of the official documents survive and you're left with those marriage announcements in the newspapers–in Hardin County, they were published almost every week. Perhaps you were lucky enough that your ancestor saved their marriage certificate gently pressed in the middle of the family bible, containing all the details of their nuptials.
So go back and take a look at all your marriage documents, and ask yourself: what exactly are you looking at?

Nerve Function Tests for Evaluating Low Back Problems
Topic Overview
Sensory testing
Just as your muscles receive signals through certain nerves, other nerves carry signals back to your spinal cord from specific sections of your skin and other tissues. Testing your sense of feeling helps your doctor find out what nerve root may be compressed.
Your sense of feeling may be tested in several ways. Your doctor will probably ask you to close your eyes during this testing, because it's easy to imagine the feeling if you can see the test being done. Testing may include touching your skin lightly with a cotton ball or pricking your skin lightly with a pin.
|Area of skin
|Nerve level
|The front of your thigh
|The inside of your lower leg, from the knee to the inner ankle and arch
|The top of your foot and toes
|The outside of your ankle and foot
Tendons attach the muscles to the bones. Reflexes are little movements of the muscle when the tendon is tapped. A reflex can be decreased or absent if there is a problem with the nerve supply. To test your reflexes, your doctor will use a rubber hammer to tap firmly on the tendon. If certain reflexes are decreased or absent, it will show what nerve might be compressed. Not all nerve roots have a reflex associated with them.
- Patellar tendon reflex. You sit on the exam table with your knee bent and your foot hanging down, not touching the floor. Your doctor will use a rubber hammer to tap firmly on the tendon just below your kneecap. In a normal test, your knee will extend and lift your foot a little. A decreased or absent reflex may mean that there is compression in the L2, L3, or L4 region.
- Achilles tendon reflex. You sit on a table with your knees bent and feet hanging down, or you may be asked to lie down on your stomach with your legs straight and your feet off the edge of the exam table. Your doctor will use a rubber hammer to tap firmly on the Achilles tendon, which connects the muscle at the back of your calf to your heel bone. In a normal test, your foot will move as though you were going to point your toes. A decreased or absent reflex may mean that there is compression in the S1 region.

Slavery/Women/Writing: 21 Refracted Portraits Based on Writings of Eduardo Galeano
THOMAS LEABHART, director
In January, Pomona College Theatre Professor Thomas Leabhart found a copy of Eduardo Galeano's book, Mirrors, in an airport bookstore in India. A long-time admirer of Galeano's writing, he happily devoured this most recent work during the subsequent long flight, and upon arrival in Claremont knew he'd like to spend more time with it. Scheduled to teach a course entitled Collective Creation in the fall semester, he found the material perfect for eventual transformation into performance. He obtained permission from Galeano's North American literary agent, and he and 14 eager students and two guest artists set to work. The performance "Slavery/Women/Writing: 21 Refracted Portraits" is the result. While the students selected texts, decided among themselves who would perform which parts, and improvised and finally set blocking, Leabhart provided a framework within which these elements achieve coherence, serving as acting coach, editor and "outside eye." This is a presentation for theatre lovers, admirers of Galeano's deconstructed views of history, and anyone who likes to challenge preconceived notions about history and performance.
Weak Links: Fragile States, Global Threats, and International Security
Since September 11, 2001, national rhetoric almost always seems to suggest that the greatest threats to our national security come from weak, destabilized states. But despite the prevalence of this theory, is it really true? Stewart Patrick, Director of the International Institutions and Global Governance Program at the Council on Foreign Relations, argues that it is not. According to Patrick, our assumptions about the threats posed by failing states are based on anecdotal arguments, not on a systematic analysis of the connections between state failure and transnational security threats. In his recent book, Weak Links: Fragile States, Global Threats, and International Security, Dr. Patrick examines the relationship between state fragility and five of the most commonly worrying transnational threats: terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cross-border criminal activity, energy insecurity, and infectious diseases.
Before his work as senior fellow and director of the international institutions and global governance program at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Dr. Patrick was research fellow at the Center for Global Development from 2005—2008. From 2002—2005, he served on the Secretary of State's policy planning staff, on which he worked with lead staff responsible for U.S. policy towards Afghanistan, and on other global and transnational issues. Dr. Patrick received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University, and two masters' degrees and his doctorate in International Relations from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. He is the author of multiple books and scholarly articles, including the recently published Weak Links: Fragile States, Global Threats, and International Security, and he writes the CFR blog, "The Internationalist."
The Council on Foreign Relations is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher dedicated to being a resource for its members, government officials, business executives, journalists, educators and students, civic and religious leaders, and other interested citizens in order to help them better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries. Since 1922, CFR has also published Foreign Affairs, the leading journal on international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. CFR takes no institutional positions on matters of policy. The International Institutions and Global Governance program aims to identify the institutional requirements for effective multilateral cooperation in the twenty-first century.
A Winter Holiday Concert
CHARLES KAMM, conductor
PAUL BISHOP, piano
The Chamber Choir of Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges, conducted by Charles W. Kamm and accompanied by Paul R. Bishop, will present a winter holiday concert at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna College on Nov. 29, 2011. The program begins with three motets from the renaissance, by the English William Byrd, the Spanish Tomás Luis de Victoria, and the Dutch Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. These motets all demonstrate the renaissance period's high art of polyphony. The heart of the program is the Mid-Winter Songs by contemporary American composer Morton Lauridsen, settings of poems by Englishman Robert Graves for choir and piano. These five movements explore the emotions of the year's darker months, using a musical language that is sonically complex yet still tonal. The program concludes with French, Spanish, Russian, English and American carols.
The Chamber choir was founded in fall 1977, by professor Michael Deane Lamkin. It is currently comprised of 25 members representing four constituent colleges and a wide variety of academic majors, including music as well as the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and other arts.
Charles W. Kamm received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Yale University. Earlier studies include a Bachelor of Arts degree in music from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, and a Master of Music degree from Michigan State University. He has also studied in Vienna, Austria, and at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland, as a Fulbright Scholar in 2002-2003. Dr. Kamm is director of choirs for the Joint Music Program of Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, and Scripps Colleges as well as associate professor of music at Scripps College where he is currently chair of the music department.
Paul R. Bishop received his B.A. (cum laude) from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he majored in organ and music composition as a Regents Scholar. He continued his graduate studies at UCSB in composition with British composer Peter Racine Fricker, and at the Claremont Graduate University in piano performance with Alice Shapiro. He also pursued advanced studies in piano pedagogy at USC. From 1987 - 2007, he was the choral accompanist for the Classical Music Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria. Mr. Bishop also serves as organist for the Chino United Methodist Church, and has been Performance Staff Pianist for the Scripps College Music Department since 1975.

Her most recent book, No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington, will be released in November 2011.
In 1991, Rice co-founded the Center for a New Generation, an innovative, after-school academic enrichment program for students in East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California. In 1996, CNG merged with the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula (an affiliate club of the Boys and Girls Club of America) of which she remains actively involved in today. In addition, she is a member of the boards of the Commonwealth Club, the Aspen Institute, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Free Market Fairness
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Can libertarians care about social justice? In Free Market Fairness, John Tomasi argues that they can and should. Drawing simultaneously on moral insights from defenders of economic liberty such as F.A. Hayek and advocates of social justice such as John Rawls, Tomasi presents a new theory of liberal justice. This theory, free market fairness, is committed to both limited government and the material betterment of the poor.
Unlike traditional libertarians, Tomasi argues that property rights are best defended not in terms of self-ownership or economic efficiency but as requirements of democratic legitimacy. At the same time, he encourages egalitarians concerned about social justice to listen more sympathetically to the claims ordinary citizens make about the importance of private economic liberty in their daily lives. In place of the familiar social democratic interpretations of social justice, Tomasi offers a "market democratic" conception of social justice: free market fairness. Tomasi argues that free market fairness, with its twin commitment to economic liberty and social justice, is a morally superior account of liberal justice. Free market fairness is also particularly suited to American culture, where the moral ideal of community includes a robust commitment to private economic liberty.
Provocative and vigorously argued, Free Market Fairness offers a bold new way of thinking about politics, economics, and justice — one that will challenge readers in both the left and right.
John Tomasi is professor of political science and of philosophy at Brown University. The founding director of Brown's Political Theory Project, Tomasi is also a research associate at the Freedom Center at the University of Arizona. He is the author of Liberalism Beyond Justice (Princeton). John Tomasi's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom.

The Sharks completed Super Rugby preparations in giving the Pumas 50 points.
Frans Steyn's debut as Sharks captain was memorable for the display of the Sharks as a unit, especially with the impact of the substitutions as the Sharks finished strongly to win 50-19.
The Sharks led early through two tries, then battled a home team fight back at 19-14, and then showed their class in taking control with a crushing last quarter.
The Sharks, without injured captain Keegan Daniel for the first month of the tournament, play the Cheetahs next weekend.

I asked Jenson if this rack has the hardware to set up without rack eyelets near the seat clamp. Jenson stated it doesn't but it actually does have the hardware to wrap around the rear triangle and then to the rack. It was super easy to set up and looks great. The only other negative is when I attach my panniers you can't see how nice this rack is.

Ven. JKhedrup, I found your story very interesting, and now that I know more about the challenges you faced and how you overcame them, I have a lot of respect for you.
I think that it might be good if there were some website which presented your story along with the stories of many other western Buddhist monastics, as well as a description of the problems and challenges facing western monastics. I think that if more people knew more about the difficult situation that most western monastics are in, that they would be much more willing to help.
The posts on this forum reach some people, but a good website which contained photos of you western monastics along with your stories could have a greater impact on more people, I think. Perhaps you might even be able to get someone like Richard Gere to contribute! You never know...
I used to be one of those westerners who only had a lot of respect for Asian Buddhist teachers, but now I see how wrong I was. There are many western Buddhist teachers who do their jobs as sincerely as anyone else, and western monastics have taken this sincerity to another level.
Western monastics are very important for more firmly establishing the dharma in the west!
JKhedrup wrote:Conditions are hard but things can change when you feel you are at the end of your rope.
Yes, this is an important fact for us all to remember!

10 essentials for every guy's fashion toolbox
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Andy Rathbun, a freelance writer for The Herald, models fashion essentials.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A nice watch (one with hands) adds a touch of bling.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A smart pair of boots takes even casual clothing like jeans and a T-shirt up a notch.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Andy Rathbun, a freelance writer for The Herald, models a jacket, button-down shirt, tie and chinos.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Have a pair of classic dress shoes in black or brown to wear when boots or sneakers won't do.
But unless you've made your first billion by age 30, it might be time to sharpen your look.
Here are some wardrobe toolbox items for guys to exude maturity without succumbing to it.
Most pieces are classic yet stylish and wrinkle-free.
Many are on sale today for Father's Day.
1. Dark jeans: Not skinny. Not sagging. Straight or boot-cut fits most male forms quite handsomely.
2. Pants: Flat-front chinos. No "Dad pants" — the "shapeless, pleated tragedy" the wife of the San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh set out to eradicate. It's OK to stray from the khaki-tan color grid. Take your dad shopping for some new pants while you're at it.
3. Blazer: One jacket can fit all occasions: date night, weddings, job fairs. Unsure of what color to buy? Ask for advice. Invest a few extra bucks in this wardrobe staple.
4. Stylish T-shirt: Something without a sports team logo. This is where you can show your inner Zuckerberg, but without the hoodie.
5. Button-down shirt: It doesn't have to be corporate blue or white. It can even be pink or plaid.
6. Tie: A tie speaks volumes. It says: "I'm a professional." "I'm my own man." It adds a splash of color to an otherwise drab outfit or tones down a plaid shirt. As our fashion model put it: "Even if you look crappy, it makes you look a little less crappy."
7. Boots: Not mowing-the-lawn boots. A smart pair of boots such as Aldo will bring it up a notch, whether it's with jeans or chinos.
8. Dress shoes: Something classic in black or brown shoe-polish colors with matching shoelaces. For when you can't wear boots or sneakers. Or your mate tells you you can't.
9. Watch: Bling it on. This is man jewelry. And it's functional. For dressing up, get one with hands and a face, not bright green digital numbers.
10. Sunglasses: Good shades make a guy look cool, confident and sexy. Bad shades make him look 14. Splurge on some Ray-Bans.

Welcome To Fat Jacks BBQ
Fat Jacks BBQ was started in 1982, After several years of R & D, and much trial and error, long hours and countless sleepless nights, we finally came up with the right combination of meats, rubs, spices and sauces, which turned into the recipes that Fat Jack's still uses to this day. Apparently, all of the efforts, the trial and error, the research (yes even the long hours and sleepless nights has paid off in a big way. As of today, Fat Jack's BBQ has won more than 200 local and national awards, grand championships and state championships for ribs, shoulder, brisket, chili, wings, sauces and more. It has been an incredible ride!! A ride which will continue for many years to come.

Besides their shooting woes from nearly every spot on the court, the Lakers had some miserable individual performances as well. Darius Morris, holding down the starting point guard duties while Steve Nash and Steve Blake recover from injuries, took a step back, finishing 0-for-6 from the floor, 1-for-4 from the free-throw line and he did not record an assist in 23 minutes. The starting forward combo of Pau Gasol and World Peace combined to shoot 3-for-17 from the floor and L.A.'s bench was 2-for-15

Is defense our problem? We're 10th in PPG surrendered and 6th in Defensive Rating.
lakerswiz wrote:And Lakerswiz, tell me if I'm wrong, but I feel like bad free throwing is often contagious.
I've never considered or thought about it.
Not to sound silly, but the ball was doing the 'in & out' so many times last night, they should probably check that ball.
But this brings up another point.
Missed free throws hurt more than just a lack of a point. Right now, they're ruining our offense entirely.
Ah...I'm going to get angry now, lol.
We can't run D'Antoni's system with Dwight shooting free throws like this. Once we get to running and scoring on teams, they'll just foul us. And we'll have no offense. We won't control the pace. There won't be a flow to the game.
Dwight Howard's free throws are the most important thing the team needs to work on at this point. There will not be any type of consistent showtime for as long as he's shooting like this.

Very happy with how the my Save the Dates turned out! I was not planning on ordering my invitations on this site and now that I have received my package I have changed my mind. Not only was I pleased with the finished product but the time and detail that was put into packaging my product I was truly WOWED with! They also ship a beautiful book with examples of their invites and paper quality. After receiving this I figured how could I go wrong with ordering my invites from here as well! I also have shopped MANY other sites! This site was the most budget friendly over all.
Exactly what I was looking for. The carved wood font is incredible.

We are having a summer beach wedding, and wanted something to look fun with a different feel to it. This one looks perfect with our turquoise, white and orange lily colors. We are very happy with them! The shipping was very fast too. Excellent quality company!! Thanks!!
Loved it!
Pros: This website was very user friendly and easy to use and I absolutely LOVED the final product. I kept the colors the same because that is what I picked for my wedding colors and it looked amazing! I had a professional photographer take our photos and they turned out great! Cons: My only complaint would be not being able to look at a sample proof in person before placing the order.
awsome customer service
It has been a joy to work with Magnet street! site is easy to use, and everything can be customized to fit my personal style. when i realized i made a mistake and wanted to change something even though it was already being produced they went above and beyond to help me get exactly what i want for just a tiny processing fee. couldn't ask for more and can't wait to design my invitations!

I have been following the tragic case of this poor missing child since it broke last summer. Even though I knew she was very likely dead for quite some time, the news yesterday that the skeletal remains found were indeed little Caylee's put me in a very depressed and saddened mood. That such a beautiful precious little girl could have her life cut short so tragically is quite disillusioning to me.
I have watched videos on Youtube about the case and the majority of posters are Christians insisting how Caylee is an angel now in heaven or in the arms of God. As much as I can understand how consoling these beliefs may be for such people, I cannot help but feel bothered by them. I would like to ask these posters why their god did not save the little girl from being killed to begin with? However, part of me feels it would be "impolite" to ask such things. Should I be able to ask people of faith such questions or am I rudely disrespecting what is for them a source of consolation for a very terrible tragedy. I agree with Sam that it would be better in the long-run if we can discover ways of finding spiritual comfort and consolation without believing in the absurd. My final question is how those on this board (of which I am one) who do not believe in God or the supernatural would console this little girl's family, who are understandibly right now in great sorrow.

The term "critics' darling" gets thrown around a lot, but rarely has it found a better fit than with "Mad Men," the AMC drama that begins its sixth season Sunday.
In its five previous outings, "Mad Men" has won the Emmy for outstanding drama a record-tying four consecutive times, was nominated for a fifth, and everywhere has drawn the kind of accolades afforded to few TV shows. Yet its audience remains tiny.
Certainly, viewership has climbed from the 900,000 who watched its initial episode on July 19, 2007. Every year, "Mad Men" entices a few more into the fold, but even last year the show still averaged just 2.5 million viewers, less than "The Real Housewives of Orange County" or barely an eighth of what "NCIS" manages on a typical Tuesday.
So who is right: the critics or the audience? Why, the critics, of course. And so I am here to make my annual pitch to watch "Mad Men." It's the best series on TV at the moment, and only a handful of dramas in history – "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," maybe a couple of others – can rival it for sustained excellence.
There are some obvious reasons why "Mad Men" hasn't captured a huge audience: Nothing blows up. Nobody gets murdered. There have been a few fights – kerfuffles, really – but for the most part, people on "Mad Men" deal with their problems by running away from them: drinking too much, having affairs, living fantasy lives or, as in two particularly sad cases, killing themselves. This is not the show for folks looking for some light entertainment after a hard day at work.
But on those days that we're looking for something deeper, something more artful and fulfilling, then nothing is better than a dose of "Mad Men." Remember those movies that Hollywood used to make for grown-ups before it decided to invest its money in entertainment for teenagers? They're on television now.
"Mad Men" takes place in the 1960s, set against the enormous social upheaval that took place during that decade: the civil-rights struggles, the Vietnam War, the rise of youth culture, the beginnings of the women's movement. But the show uses those events strictly as a backdrop; it's not about America or society, it's about the individual and the world that each person builds to live in. And it's about the intersection of the people we present to the world and our "real" selves, however alike or different they may be.
The main character of "Mad Men" is Don Draper, a successful advertising executive known as the best creative guy on Madison Avenue. But he's not who he seems. In the very first episode, we see Don as a hard-driving, hard-drinking type who keeps late hours and squeezes in time to visit his artist girlfriend in Greenwich Village. It isn't until the very end of that first hour that we learn he has a wife and kids in Long Island, where he plays the picture-book husband – when he shows up.
From there we learn that Don's secrets are even deeper and darker than we expected, and as the first three seasons unfold we learn how Don Draper came to be. And we also learn the key to Don's success: He knows that everyone wants to live a fantasy life, and that no one is better at selling that promise than he is.
Everyone else in "Mad Men" has problems they run from and secrets they try to keep, too. Don's wife can't confront her own unhappiness; his protégé, Peggy, refuses to acknowledge her pregnancy; his partner, Roger Sterling, can't see that he is a 60-year-old adolescent. His co-workers include a frustrated writer, a novelist who writes under a pen name and a closeted gay man.
"Mad Men" is not all about big ideas, of course. The characters are well-drawn people who bicker and banter, who can be witty and charming and provide more than a few laughs. For viewers who lived through the 1960s, the art direction and costumes are a nostalgic blast. And even if you missed the '60s, the show is beautiful to watch. The saturated hues of the women's dresses and the men's charcoal suits set against the sharp lines of the midcentury modern sets will make you want to put on something nice and mix up an Old Fashioned.
But more than anything, "Mad Men" will make you think.
Nothing tells the "Mad Men" story better than the very last sequence of last season. Don, after fighting his new wife's desire to work as an actress all season, gives in and gets her a job on a commercial. He leaves her on the garish, brightly lit set and walks by himself into the darkness. Cut to a bar, where he sits and orders a drink. A beautiful blonde woman approaches. "My friend at the end of the bar was wondering," she says, pointing to an equally beautiful brunette, "are you alone?"
Don doesn't say a word, but his expression delivers the answer: "We're all alone."

Back Pain Exercises
The 10 Worst Exercises For Your Back
Perform these strength moves wrong, and you're in for a backache (or worse). Experts explain how to fix your form and offer even better alternatives
A strong core and back signals more than six-pack abs. (Related: Get chiseled abs in just four weeks with this expert-approved plan.) Working out these muscles also increases your body's flexibility and balance and provides extra stability for your spine. So whether you're kicking butt in a bootcamp class or shoveling snow at home, your body will be performing movements more effectively, says Pete McCall, a San Diego, CA-based exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise.
But there's a problem: when performed incorrectly, these otherwise effective moves can pull your spine out of alignment, put too much pressure on the disks, pinch a nerve — or just give you unnecessary back pain. Mix in a few reps of exercises that work both your back and shoulders with bad form, and your sweat session might be causing you more harm than good.
Is your favorite move on our naughty list? Check out our tally of the 10 worst exercises for your back—and better, safer options.

Last night was not the best night for the Hornets; we look like a team without a system. While watching the game I was following the comments in the game thread, and was a bit surprised about how harsh some of the comments where towards Vasquez. First of all let me clarify that I agree he didnt play well, and I think he has had a terrible preseason. Nevertheless, it seems like for many people he was the worst player in the team last night. The fact of the matter is that a lot of what went wrong with his game was not entirely his fault. Last night the team didnt move, in most of the runs, there were hardly any opportunities to get good offensive passes due to the lack of initiative in the team in general. In the first quarter there was no one that would make a jump shot. Thomas and Rivers were playing really bad, and without them getting the open spaces, it was all in the hands of Davis and Lopez, and at least at the beginning they were missing many shots. Now lets look at Vasquez stats: He took 8 shots, made 4. Of the 4 he missed one of them was a good penetration that got blocked by an amazing defensive play to the point that the commentators expended about 2 minutes talking about how good the defense was. Then the other 3 shots were really ugly shots that he took when frustrated for not being able to get the offense going on time. These 3 shots I agree are pretty much entirely his fault. Then he had 5 assists, but about 8 more good passes that were not converted. Finally, you have to see who was with him in the court. There was no Gordon, no Smith, Rivers was missing every shot before getting injured, and Thomas was a disaster. In the 3rd quarter when Anderson and Miler starting making some open shots, the offense looked a bit better and Vasquez got 4 of his 5 assists then. So chill out this is not the end of the world, and even when I dont like Vasquez in the point guard position that is certainly NOT our main problem now. As we stand at the moment our only healthy second guard is Roberts, and under the basket we only have Lopez and Davis, so lest get real, and realize that the Vasquez problem is perhaps the least of our worries right now.
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
greivis is killing it in preseason, dude is in 2nd place among all players in assists, ur PG isnt supposed to score... especially when u have people like gordon gordon ryno rivers and davis playing with him, u need a facilitator, we will get our outside shooting from gordon, ryno, mason, miller and rivers.
^ You want everyone to be able to score effectively. If your PG can't score, then his passing lanes and many other aspects of running the offense become much more difficult.
Vasquez can score. That isn't a problem. He is just looking to set up his teammates. The whole team is having trouble shooting right now, but that will work itself out. Vasquez is fine.
Vasquez is fine for a backup role and spot starter. That's it. He is not good enough on offense (scoring, passing, and everything else) to make up for his physical limitations. He is not able to create very well for others. I haven't seen him able to play off the ball and consistently knockdown perimeter shots which is going to suck when Gordon comes back because Eric is a much better ball handler and creator than Vasquez.
I love the dude, but he is one of the many, many players that are holding our offense back from being league average and he doesn't have enough room to grow to change that. He is what he is at this point and I don't expect him to get much better. Taking smarter shots and forcing less passes, but that's it.
Vasquez's issues will not show up on a stat sheet or some advanced stat. Unless there's a measure of awareness.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
I like Vasquez but realize he should still be a backup. Just watch him trying to execute a simple pick and roll. It basically takes him the rest of the shot clock to do anything with it.... I like him better when he is not relied on to "set up" his teammates.
Vazquez is terrible. He is not an NBA point guard. His court vision is TERRIBLE, he missed so many alley-oop and layup opportunities last night and throughout the preseason. Vazquez cannot lead a team and he cannot run an offense. He is also very heavy-footed and will be abused by most PGs.
8 TOs, but it could have been so much more. Honestly, almost every pass was stolen or almost stolen.
Part of Vasquez problem is the offense that we "run"...... What type of offense to we run again? I did not see a lot of sets or plays called, and I think there is a reason we can't score the ball ----1) we have NO PG. 2) Our coach has no offense.
I know Monty is considered a great coach, but why is that exactly? For a defensive minded coach, we don't play good defense. On the offensive end? well it is obvious we dont spend enough time on it, (self-admitted by Monty) .
Would somebody please tell our coach that unless we plan to hold teams under 70 points a game, HE MIGHT WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME INSTALLING AN OFFENSE?
Even the best defense in history is going to allow 85+ a night.
Its not the offense that they run.its the lack of offensive quicks at the position.I've seen several situations where ( as i've said many times) the guard must have the 'escape game" that allows him to get away from defenders and create so he won't be locked into to staying with a play...simply break it off and play ( random situation)...same hold true in the open floor...there were monets last night tta could have easily translated into "open floor turnouts"...its too easy for the defense to keep him in front of them...Vasquez is a nice guard that is suited for a PACE+STRUCTURE attack......gives you a different look.....need more 'attack playmaking quicks for a starter'
1-What does not move is dead.What has speed,and mobilty has more possibilities,more life...quickness creates luck.
2- Your Defense is only as good as your HELP/ROTATING defenders.
3-Games are won while the ball is in the air.
4- You design your roster to win a 7 game series not a one game confrontation.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
There are different type of assists......my concern is when teams put pressure on him...and of course when he has to defend ...lacks required foot speed....don't get me wrong,he is a nice player...i simply look at him as the backup type pt guard.
He is the kind of guy that want to take more risk to have nice assists. He is young and trying to do too much sometimes.
I just expect him to play under control in the game later considering playing with many new teammates. I just hope he realized he is not playing with his old friends like Belli, Jason smith in these games who he used to play with a lot last season. I also hope fans would have more patience when these guys are still knowing each other.
As a pretty big Vasquez fan, I just say I hope he can get it together.
I think he is gonna struggle against miami... Jeremy lin style. When i went to the game I noticed vasquez cant create separation from his defender when needed. That is his main problem while running the offense.
Why all the drama over Vasquez? He's a good guy but he's basically just a backup. He's a decent stop gap but he will never develop into a true starting quality PG. That's just reality.

Historic buildings throw wrench in agencies real-property efforts
Friday - 1/11/2013, 6:31pm EST
Managing the government's 400,000-strong portfolio of federal properties has vexed agencies for years.
And the long-documented problems are only compounded when the properties in question are historical landmarks.
In a new report, the Government Accountability Office found tighter budgets in recent years have constrained agencies' ability to maintain and repair historic buildings and that poor data practices have led to inconsistent and erroneous information on a database designed to track federal properties.
And the problem isn't likely to go away.
"As federal buildings continue to age and become eligible for historic designation, agencies will increasingly face decisions about balancing preservation with the best use, which may include leasing or selling these assets," GAO auditors wrote in a letter accompanying the report addressed to Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the chairman of the Senate subcommittee tasked with handling federal real property.
GAO's report focused on three agencies: the General Services Administration, the National Park Service and the Veterans Affairs Department. All three host a significant number of historic buildings, including office buildings, parks, courthouses and hospitals, according to GAO.
Budget constraints
Budget shortfalls in recent year have made managing historic properties challenging, GAO found.
GAO auditors could not determine the agencies' total spending slated for historic preservation because it often involves multiple budget accounts.
Overall, GSA has identified $4.6 billion in needed projects for the federal buildings that it owns and operates. While that includes both historic and nonhistoric buildings, GSA officials told GAO the former take up a lion's share of the maintenance and repair work.
However, over the past few years, Congress has allotted less funding to GSA's Public Building Fund, and the repairs and alteration account has been the hardest hit, GAO said.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, which has reported that less than 60 percent of its historic buildings are in good condition, is beset by staffing reductions and delayed maintenance projects.
Database inconsistencies
Ostensibly, the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP), a database containing information on the federal government's real-property holdings, should help agencies better manage their historic properties.
But GAO found the system plagued by inconsistencies. More than 75 percent of the buildings GSA provided data for and more than 63 percent of the buildings NPS provided data for did not denote whether the building was historic.
Auditors found that the West Wing of the White House, which is held by GSA and has been marked as a national historic landmark since 1960, is listed in the FRPP as "not evaluated."
Part of the disconnect stems from the fact that the property database doesn't provide more specific classification for buildings that are "contributing" historic buildings, such as smaller structures on a larger property deemed historic.
In 2009, the Interior Department recommended the Federal Real Property Council adopt more specific classifications, but the council never did so.
"The FRPP database's lack of completeness and consistency for historic data are not consistent with sound data collection practices," the report stated. "We have long held that results-oriented organizations assure that data they collect are sufficiently complete, accurate, and consistent enough to document performance and support decision making, as well as to collaborate with others who would benefit from the data."
It's not the first time GAO has criticized the property database. In a report last summer, GAO lambasted data-collection practices that led to rat-infested buildings being listed in excellent condition.
GAO recommended the property council develop an action plan to make sure the property database includes accurate information on historic buildings.
"Focusing on how to improve the historic building data in FRPP ... would better equip stakeholders to make decisions about where to direct limited federal resources for historic preservation and foster greater accountability and transparency."
GSA agreed with GAO's recommendations and said it has already begun taking steps to remedy the inconsistencies in the property database.
GAO: Faulty system lists rat-infested federal buildings in excellent condition
GSA pounded for not moving excess property faster
