Comments about Shimano ST-R700/701 Shifters OE:
These shifters, while not the lightest, offer great shift quality and durability. I used these on a 10 speed road bike commuter and they actually shift more smoothly than my newer Ultegra 6700 shifters, primarily due to the external cable routing. If that doesn't bother you (certainly doesn't bother me if it shifts better), these are great.
Advertised weight was exactly as they said, 250g per lever.

The LA Galaxy have logged some heavy miles over the last few weeks.
Over their last five games in all competitions, LA has played just one match on the west coast with the rest taking place on the East Coast. LA's most recent trip out east ended in two defeats as the Galaxy fell 2-0 to the Carolina RailHawks in U.S. Open Cup play last Wednesday before dropping a 5-0 result to the New England Revolution
In fact, during their three trips to the east coast this season, the Galaxy are 1-3-1 in all competitions. The team's lone win in the Eastern Time Zone came on May 15 when they demolished the Philadelphia Union 4-1. LA will not travel out east again until August when they visit Miami, Florida for the Guinness International Champions Cup and then again in September for a league match against D.C. United on Sept. 15.
"It's tough. Going to the west and playing a game then coming to the east and playing a game," DeLaGarza told LA Galaxy Insider. I put money on it that the one that does the travel probably loses the games. It is part of playing in the U.S. it's a big ass country and travel is part of it."
The eastern travel over for the moment, LA forward Landon Donovan is eager to turn the page.
"This was a tough week for our team," said Donovan. "We didn't have the easiest time getting to the stadium [on Sunday] so it was a little bit of a rough trip. It's nice that we're past it and we'll have some west coast games coming up that are going to mean a lot to us."
LA Galaxy to face El Salvador's Isidro Metapan and Costa Rica's Cartaginés in CONCACAF Champions League
The LA Galaxy learned their opponents for the CONCACAF Champions League on Monday after a wild process in CONCACAF that included a re-draw,
LA were inititally placed in Group 8 alongside Mexican giants Cruz Azul and Cartaginés, but due to CONCACAF's rule stating that Mexican and U.S. teams could not meet in the group stage, a re-draw of three groups took place. The Galaxy were ultimately placed in Group 8 with Salvadoran side Isidro Metapan and Costa Rican club .
The 2012 Apertura Champion Isidro Metapan faced the Galaxy in last year's edition of the tournament with LA defeating the Salavadoran side in both matches. Boasting El Salvador internationals Andres Flores, Milton Molina, Eliseo Quintanilla and Alfredo Pacheco, as well as Panamanian forward Nicolas Munoz, Metapan have become one of the most successful clubs in El Salvador as of late with seven titles in the last five years. Metapan play at the Estadio Jorge Calero Suárez, which is two hours outside of San Salvador. Last year, the Galaxy traveled for two hours by bus from the team's hotel in San Salvador to the match.
Cartaginés are making their first ever appearance in the CCL and fell in penalties in the Final of the Costa Rican 2013 Verano championship. But the Costa Ricans earned a ticket into the tournament after CONCACAF allocated a spot to Costa Rica after stripping Belize of their position in the tournament after the federation deemed that the nation did not have a stadium suitable to host a Champions League match. Cartaginés boast a trio of Costa Rican interntionals including forward Randall Brenes, midfielder Mauricio Castillo, and former New York Red Bulls defender Carlos Johnson. The Costa Ricans play at Estadio José Rafael Fello Meza Ivankovich, which is a 13,500 seat stadium with a grass field about 15 minutes outside of San Jose.
The LA Galaxy will learn their two opponents for the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League group stage on Monday evening.
The draw will take place in Miami at 5 p.m. PT and will air live on ESPN Deportes. Due to their status as MLS Cup champions, the Galaxy have been placed in Pot A alongside Mexican league champions Club America and Club Tijuana, Costa Rican champions C.S. Herediano, Guatemalan champion Comunicaciones, Honduran side C.D. Olimpia, Arabe Unido of Panama as well as the Supporters' Shield winning San Jose Earthquakes.
LA could be partnered alongside any of the following teams:
Pot B: Cruz Azul (Mexico) Montreal Impact (Canada), Alajuelense (Costa Rica), Victoria (Nicaragua) and Isidro Metapán (El Salvador).
Pot C: Luis Ángel Firpo (El Salvador), Cartaginés (Costa Rica), Guatemala 2, (pending tournament), San Miguelito (Panamá), Real Estelí (Nicaragua), W Connection (Trinidad and Tobago), Valencia FC (Haiti), Caledonia AIA (Trinidad and Tobago).
Above is a photo snapped just after the Galaxy's flight this morning of Boston Harbor and it's final approach to Los Angeles.
The arrival ends an eight-day trip for most of the contigent, who participated in both the club's 2-0 U.S. Open Cup defeat to the Carolina RailHawks as well as the 5-0 loss to the New England Revolution.
Over that period, the Galaxy flew 5,442 miles. LA will return to the road later this week when they take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.
International Update: Robbie Keane scores two and is poised to become Ireland's all-time caps leader
Both Robbie Keane and Omar Gonzalez made significant contributions for their national teams over the weekend.
Keane notched a brace as Ireland demolished Georgia 4-0 in Dublin on Sunday as he tied former teammate Shay Given for Ireland's all-time appearance record with 125. In fact, Ireland manager Giovanni Trappatoni was incredibly complimentary of Keane's move to MLS and said that it has revitalized the Ireland captain.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez went the distance in the U.S. National Team's 4-3 win over Germany at Washington D.C.'s RFK Stadium. The start was Gonzalez's fifth straight with the U.S.
Both Keane and Gonzalez will be back in action on Friday. Ireland takes on the Faroe Islands in a pivotal World Cup Qualifier while the U.S. take on Jamaica. The two LA stars aren't the only Galaxy players who may suit up for their country this week as Homegrown right back Oscar Sorto will look to make his Toulon Tournament debut when the U.S. Under-20's take on Korea Republic on Wednesday.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Sunday's match was a brutal one for the LA Galaxy, who fell 5-0 to the New England Revolution.
My sidebar on the LA Galaxy's defeat can be found here while my Three Points to the match can be read here.
A few notes on the match including some provided by the Galaxy Communications staff below:
*The Galaxy arrived at Gillette Stadium 55 minutes prior to kick off on Sunday after traffic en route.
*The 5-0 defeat ties the club record for the biggest margin of defeat in an MLS regular season game, equaling a 5-0 loss to the MetroStars on June 15, 2002.
*This was also just the second time that the Galaxy have conceded five or more goals in a game under Bruce Arena. LA lost 6-3 to FC Dallas on September 12, 2009 at The Home Depot Center.
*The Galaxy are 0-5-0 in MLS this year when conceding the first goal and 0-7-0 when doing so in all competitions.
*This was the 17th straight game in all competitions this season that the Galaxy have made at least one lineup change.
*According to the team issued game notes: Todd Dunivant (left quad strain), Leonardo (left ankle) and Jack McBean (fractured left clavicle) all missed the game because of injuries.
*Bryan Gaul and Kofi Opare were in the 18-man squad for a regular season for the first time in 2013. Each of LA's 29 rostered players have been on the gameday squad at least once.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – LA Galaxy Goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini understands that he didn't play his best game in the club's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution, but the 'keeper knows that he'll need to recover quickly as the club looks forward.
New England put all five of their shots on goal into the back of the net on Sunday, but LA's collapse truly began in the 70th minute. LA's defense was caught frozen after a disagreement between referee Fotis Bazakos and assistant referee Adam Garner on whether to call an LA throw in or a New England free kick. Bazakos overruled his assistant and signaled for the free kick, which was quickly taken by Revs midfielder Diego Fagundez, who found Lee Nguyen, who fired the second goal past Cudicini.
Following the second goal, LA pushed forward in hopes of cutting the lead in half, but the Revolution answered with three goals in the final three minutes of the match plus stoppage time to seal the 5-0 deficit. After the match, Cudicini was left feeling, but admitted that there was no excuse for the poor play.
"It's surprising; I don't think that it is quite common for the Galaxy to lose 5-0. It happens when we try to score a goal and we open up in the back, which is a recipe for disaster as we showed today," said Cudicini. "I've had a long career so I've seen games like this. It's a pity because we were coming from two good games, but there are no excuses."
After conceding five goals, Cudicini understands that he'll open himself up for criticism from the media and others, but he's looking forward to getting back on the training ground to prove himself next week when LA travels to face Real Salt Lake.
"It's part of the game. We have to take all the critiques and the bad comments about this game. We're adults and we have to look forward and we have to get back on track next week," Cudicini told LA Galaxy Insider. "To be fair, I think that it's difficult to forget a game like this. Hopefully on Tuesday when we get back on the training ground, we'll be ready to prepare for next week."
Below are the highlights -- or lowlights -- of the LA Galaxy's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass.— LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke to the media following the LA Galaxy's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution.
Arena's quotes are below…
(On the result…)
ARENA: "Obviously, at the end, we certainly fell apart. It's just a game where we actually played well in the first half and probably should have gotten on the board early with the chance that Gyasi [Zardes] had. Give them credit, they took advantage of their opportunities in the first half and they played a great second half."
(On making changes…)
ARENA: "I'm going to make believe that the last 15 minutes [of the game] didn't happen, but for the most part our back line played alright. The second goal, let's be honest, the referee made a big mistake. He caught our whole team on the wrong side of the ball. That happens and that basically determines the game. No excuses on our part."
(On the team becoming unglued after allowing that second goal…)
ARENA: "Yeah and they shouldn't have. That's life, but that's something that I'm hopeful that the referees and assistant referees can learn from. There's too many guys to correct that and resolve that issue. It's a big part of the game, but in all fairness, we weren't in position to win the game anyway."
(On the development of Zardes…)
ARENA: "He's getting there. The job of a forward is to score goal and the one that he had early, he's got to do better with that chance. He was dangerous; he got a couple of chances. It's going to take a little time. He's still a little uncertain with some of his runs, but he's a nice project to have."
(On how the team moves forward after the result…)
ARENA: "Very easily. We have a game next week and that's how we'll move forward."
(On Landon Donovan's development this season…)
ARENA: "He's getting fitter. He's got a ways to go. Obviously, [he's] behind the group, but he's catching up."
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The LA Galaxy fell 5-0 to the New England Revolution on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
Saer Sene scored in the first half before Lee Nguyen, Diego Fagundez, Chad Barrett and Kelyn Rowe all tallied in the second half for the Revolution.
The Galaxy are now 2-4-1 on the road in MLS play and 2-5-1 in all competitions.

Excellent customer service, Great product
My calendar magnets were lost by shipping Co. and then were later delivered damaged after being a couple weeks late. Customer service rep Stacie rushed out another order, refunded my original order with free expedited shipping, discounted my new order and she actually cared! The magnets are always good quality. Today you run into so many situations where companies do not understand that keeping a customer is less expensive than finding a new one. Magnetstreet, good job! Thanks

I purchased Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires about 3 years ago. There are about 40k miles on the tires and they are they need to be replaced. The car was aligned when tires were installed and rotation happened every 6k miles.
According to the specifications there should have been good for 65k/6years. I got slightly better than 1/2 the expected life.
I talked to my dealer service writer who said they call the tires "GoodForAYear". That's a good description.
I will not be purchasing Goodyear tires in the future, this was a bad experience. I plan to replace these with Michelin tires, worth the price differences of $50 more a tire.

Tires were purchased after I had a blowout on some Michelin tires due to the hubcap rotating and cutting the valve stem. . . Goodyear service center was the closest option.
Tires seemed to be decent for warm, dry conditions, but are absolute rubbish in cold, wet, snowy conditions. I almost got in to two accidents today because the tires lack grip (1/4" snow on roads). I am experienced in snow / winter driving, but these tires, on this car (VW Jetta) are rubbish. First near miss was making a left turn at about 5 mph. My car did not turn, it went straight in to the other lane. 2nd time was a repeat, except with a right turn.
I'll be driving the XJ from here on out whenever it snows.

User Stories
"C++, Java, or third-party optimization solutions would have required us to spend significantly more time in development or to simplify our constraints. Only MATLAB provided the flexibility, scalability, development speed, and level of optimization that we required."
Alexey Nagaytsev, Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann
To manufacture more than 5 million tonnes of steel annually and deliver each order just in time, the Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann (HKM) plant must operate on a tightly controlled schedule. Each phase of the process is carefully timed and orchestrated. Tons of coke, pig iron, scrap, and other raw materials must arrive at the appropriate machinery exactly when needed, blast furnaces must be stoked to temperatures of at least 1450 degrees Celsius, and the steel must be cast before it has time to cool. In the making of pig iron, the stages of the process can be handled through linear production, but in the steel plant, logistics and customer requirements add complexity.
To maximize throughput while meeting these operating constraints, HKM engineers developed an automated scheduling system in MATLAB®. "MATLAB enabled us to rapidly develop a system for global optimization of our steel process, deploy it as a Java component in our production environment, and run it as a computing cluster," says Alexey Nagaytsev, project manager at HKM. "With MATLAB we can easily make changes to incorporate new constraints and scale the system to meet new demands."
Steel production is a complex process, with more than 150 discrete steps and numerous constraints imposed by the capabilities of the equipment, the availability of raw materials, environmental regulations, and the demands of multiple customers. Customers typically require delivery of their orders in precisely scheduled stages. In HKM's previous process, dispatchers managed scheduling for the entire plant manually. While manual operation does a good job of maximizing throughput, it cannot fully account for the delivery schedule imposed by customers.
The role of dispatcher required such extensive knowledge of the process that only a few employees were qualified to fill it. If either dispatcher were absent, the business incurred significant risk.
To mitigate this risk, HKM needed an automated system capable of maximizing plant production and meeting the delivery schedule. "We wanted the system to provide objective results for a complex optimization problem in minutes," says Nagaytsev. "The system had to be flexible enough to accommodate changing constraints. It also had to integrate with our existing Java software and be available 24/7. Lastly, we wanted to deploy the system quickly while keeping development costs low."
HKM used MATLAB and related optimization, parallel computing, and application deployment products to develop a complete plant scheduling system that supports efficient, just-in-time delivery of its steel products.
Using MATLAB and Global Optimization Toolbox, Nagaytsev quickly prototyped the core optimization module. The module uses a genetic algorithm to search for global solutions that will maximize plant efficiency based on customer requirements as well as on time, temperature, and equipment usage restrictions.
To accelerate the optimization process, Nagaytsev used Parallel Computing Toolbox™ and MATLAB Distributed Computing Server™ to execute the optimization algorithm on a 16-worker Linux® computing cluster.
Nagaytsev generated plots in MATLAB to visualize intermediate results from the algorithm, which he used to create a custom genetic algorithm variant.
He used MATLAB Compiler™ and MATLAB Compiler SDK™ to create a Java® class from the MATLAB code, which was then deployed as a Java component in HKM's existing scheduling application.
The MATLAB based Java component retrieves up-to-date constraint and status information from the main system, computes an optimized schedule, and then returns the results to the main system, where they are accessed by the dispatchers.
HKM dispatchers are currently using MATLAB based optimizations to plan schedules for the next 24 to 48 hours, as well as longer-term schedules that span up to 4 weeks.
Optimize a steel production process to enable consistent, just-in-time delivery
Use MATLAB and Global Optimization Toolbox to maximize throughput of more than 5 million tonnes of steel annually

RAZR X Black Drivers
Product Overview
A club that acts mean as it looks. New Forged Composite material in the crown and Distance Trajectory Weighting create maximum distance for a low spinning, high launch ball flight. The RAZR X Black Driver is designed for ultimate accuracy and speed with head-turning Black PVD Finish.
Forged Composite
Get a stronger and lighter than titanium crown because of this revolutionary material. A total of 12 million turbostratic carbon fibers are packed into the crown, which reinforces 27% of the clubhead. Callaway engineers use Forged Composite to control head thickness, which makes for a club head with an extremely high MOI that's also light.
Speed Frame Face Technology
Hyperbolic Face™ and VFT® Technology combine to make for faster ball speeds and a larger sweet spot, which results in more consistent and longer distance. The Speed Frame Technology reduces weight and moves it to the perimeter of the clubhead to create a higher MOI. Thickness control is achieved through a chemical milling process that removes extra material.
Distance Trajectory Weighting
The center of gravity is optimized, which increases distance with a low spinning, high launch ball flight. We've included a full-length hosel with a low center of gravity because of the advantages of Forged Composite, which makes for the best performance characteristics.
Streamlined Surface Technology
Reduces drag by 17% over the regular Diablo Octane™ Driver. Added distance and higher impact speeds come from the Streamlined Surface Technology.
Black PVD Finish
A high-tech process creates the Physical Vapor Deposition Finish and makes for a confidence inspiring look.

Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph has re-signed with the franchise for two years.
Joseph has forged the Highlanders into an increasingly competitive unit since his arrival in 2010 and Highlanders general manager Roger Clark said they were excited about the opportunity to continue working with him.
'Having Jamie re-sign for another two years is a great result for the Highlanders and this will allow the franchise to build on the outstanding progress made since his arrival,' he said. 'He has added so much value to the team and business over the past two seasons, and he'll be a central part of our next two seasons.'
Joseph said he was motivated to make the Highlanders one of the elite teams in the competition.
'We've made some real progress over the last couple of seasons, and I want to remain because I have my sights on a very clear goal – to take the Highlanders to a Super Rugby final,' he said.

Glacier Peak back in 3A district title game
Grizzlies beat Meadowdale 2-0 to earn state berth, spot in title game
The district championship game.
For the third year in a row the Grizzlies are headed to the district title game. Branson Corwin scored a goal for Glacier Peak in the 12th minute and freshman Connor Seed added another on a penalty kick in the 55th minute as the Grizzlies defeated Meadowdale 2-0 in a 3A district semifinal game Tuesday night at Shoreline Stadium.
The Grizzlies will face defending district champion Shorewood in the district title game at 7 p.m. Saturday night at Shoreline Stadium. The two teams split the regular season series with Glacier Peak handing the Thunderbirds (15-1-1) their only loss this year.
"That team's played well all year," said Grizzlies' head coach Shannon Murray. "Shorewood's fantastic. Every game with Shorewood -- and Shorecrest -- is always good. We're always excited to see them again."
The only time that Glacier Peak hasn't gone to the district title game in the past four seasons was 2010. That year the Grizzlies won a 3A state championship instead.
Murray is 1-1 in district title games and is eager to improve his winning percentage. Unlike last year -- when Shorewood defeated Glacier Peak 1-0 -- both teams in the championship game will go to the state tournament this year, with the district receiving three state berths.
"The boys can kind of relax and play," Murray said. "The consequences of losing the match are not as deep."
Glacier Peak (11-5-2 overall) clinched the title berth by dominating possession of the ball throughout, not giving Meadowdale very many scoring opportunities.
"I thought the first 25 to 30 minutes we completely controlled play," Murray said. "We were disciplined tonight until the very end."
That's about when the Mavericks were finally able to break through the Glacier Peak defense and get a good shot attempt.
"I think the first shot on goal was with about 15 minutes to go," Murray said. "When you go that long without giving up a shot on goal, that's pretty good."
Murray credited junior midfielder Peter Vizzoni for controlling the midfield, and quickly getting back to help out on defense.
"His discipline allowed us to not get hurt on a counterattack," Murray said.
Senior Jesus Mendoza earned the shutout in goal for Glacier Peak. Meadowdale (5-12-1) got a few shots off late in the game, with the best opportunity coming off the foot of Tristan Springer, but Mendoza kept them all out of the net.
The Mavericks play Shorecrest, 2-0 winners over Marysville Pilchuck earlier Tuesday evening, in a loser-out game on Thursday.
At Shoreline Stadium
Goals–Branson Corwin (GP), Connor Seed (GP). Assists–Michael Mikulsky (GP). Goalkeepers–Meadowdale: Evan Lee. Glacier Peak: Jesus Mendoza. Records–Meadowdale 5-12-1 overall. Glacier Peak 11-5-2.

Battle Droid
Rather than use flesh-and-blood warriors, the Separatists prefer mindlessly loyal soldiers that are unquestioning of orders, and easily controlled. The soulless ranks of their battle droid armies consists of tall, thin robotic soldiers with exposed joints and bone-white or rust brown metal finishes that gives them an eerie resemblance to animated skeletons. Battle droids are very efficient, and can be controlled from centralized command centers, like the enormous Droid Control Ships used by the Trade Federation. They are dim-witted, often suffering programming glitches that give them quirky personalities that are too slow to adapt to enemies like Jedi Knights and clone troopers.
- Height: 1.93m ,
All for One and One for...
Three Separatist battle droids reprogrammed to serve R2-D2 are ordered to "delay the enemy" as the heroes make their escape from a prison citadel.
General Grievous
General Grievous was a brilliant Separatist military strategist and a feared Jedi hunter, known for his ruthlessness and hacking cough. His body itself was a weapon, allowing him lightning quick strikes and devastating blows. But he was also quick to run from a fight, a tactic that worked until one final meeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Poggle the Lesser
Poggle the Lesser was the leader of the insect-like Geonosians throughout the era of the Clone Wars. Due to his control of the Geonosian battle droid factories, he was a powerful figure within the Confederacy of Independent Systems and commanded the droid armies that fought against the Republic in two battles for control of Geonosis. At the end of the war, Poggle lost his life to Darth Vader.
Separatist Alliance
In the final days of the Republic, the galactic government had grown so huge and corrupt that any attempt at change required radical thinking and extreme actions. Outlying systems that saw no benefit from being part of the Republic despite paying heavy taxes, began to rebel. This undercurrent of disgust towards Coruscant was seized by a charismatic leader, Count Dooku. The former Jedi rallied together these worlds in a Separatist movement that saw the departure of thousands of systems from the Republic. When Dooku's alliance was secretly backed by corporate titans that offered their unlimited droid armies to the cause, the Separatists emerged as a major threat to the Republic, and the galaxy tipped towards full scale war.
A harsh rocky world less than a parsec away from Tatooine, Geonosis is a ringed planet beyond the borders of the Galactic Republic. Its uninviting surface is made up of harsh, rocky desert, and the creatures that evolved on Geonosis are well equipped to survive in the brutal environment. The most advanced lifeform are the Geonosians, sentient insectoids that inhabit towering spire-hives. The Geonosians maintain large factories for the production of droids and weapons for the Separatist cause in the Clone Wars.
Clone Troopers
At the time of their introduction, the Republic clone troopers represented the future of galactic warfare. Far superior to battle droids, the clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's new military that waged war against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. So symbolic were they of the times, the galaxy-wide conflict that saw their debut took its name from their ranks: the Clone Wars.
Droid Gunship
Debuting late in the Clone Wars was this powerful automated predator, a heavily armed and ray-shielded air support unit capable of wiping out infantry and armor units in relentless barrages of explosive ordnance. The underside of the gunship's flat fuselage carries two clusters of missile pods, and can be fitted with droid deployment racks for insertion and extraction into the heaviest combat zones.

Rest in Peace, Anne Meara
Actress and comedian Anne Meara passed away over the weekend at the age of 85. She and her husband, Jerry Stiller, were a pretty successful comedy team in the 60s, 70s and 80s. She appeared on a number of TV shows, including Sex and the City, All My Children and King of Queens. She's also the mother of Ben Stiller. Check out one of Stiller & Meara's appearances on The Carol Burnett Show...

John Legend Disses Jamie Foxx, Sorta
Last week on The Tonight Show, Jamie Foxx and Jimmy Fallon played Wheel of Musical Impressions. One of the voice/song combos Jamie dialed up was John Legend singing the Toys R Us jingle. It starts at 2:45 on the video below.(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Wheel of Musical Impressions with Jamie Foxx Jimmy challenges Jamie Foxx to a game of random musical impressions, such as John Legend singing the Toys "R" Us jingle. Posted by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 John Legend caught wind of it, and posted this response. Pretty cool, don't you think? We'll post this one in John's column.

Carpool Karoake with Justin Bieber, and It's Not a Carwreck
When you've got a late night talk show these days, you've got to develop signature bits. Cuz it's a tough market out there. James Corden's signature bit (so far, anyway) on The Late Late Show is Carpool Karaoke, where he picks up a guest and drives him or her to the show. Along the way, they have silly conversations, sing songs, stop passersby, eat fast food, and more. And they generate some laughs along the way. Check out his latest, with Justin Bieber.

Say It Ain't So, Mary-Kate and Ashley
Well, gang, it's official. The Olsen twins - Mary-Kate and Ashley - will not be joining the Full House sequel called Fuller House on Netflix. John Stamos, who will make guest appearances on the show as well as produce it, said he was heartbroken on Twitter, and then posted this. I understand they're in a different place and I wish them the best. I promise you will not be dissapointed with our reunion and spin off!! — John Stamos (@JohnStamos) May 23, 2015 They say it's so they can concentrate on their fashion line and other busines ventures. Personally, I think it's becaue they stopped looking like twins about 15 years ago. (By the way, John, you got "disappointed" wrong. But you are heartbroken, so I guess it's understandable.)

Game of Thrones: The Musical
On Thursday's Red Nose Day USA special on NBC, Chris Martin and Cold Play put together a 12-minute documentary video about their efforts to get their newest work, "Game of Thrones: The Musical," onto a Broadway stage. Okay, it's a spoof, but so well done. Plus, they had the help of a quite a few cast members from Game of Thrones, including Mark Addy (Robert Barateheon), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow). The narration by Liam Neeson really helps sell it. And Jon Snow singing "Wildling" to Ygritte (Rose Leslie) could well be the best part of it. Check it out.

The Old "Hidden Ball" Trick
It's the bottom of the ninth. You're down by one run. You've got two outs, and a pinch runner at second. The pitcher whirls around and tries to pick off the runner. The throw goes wild into the outfield. Your runner takes off for third. But wait. The pitcher is chasing your runner down. The pitcher had the ball in his glove the whole time. Tag. Your runner is out. Game over. Pretty exciting end for one team - pretty devastating for the other. What makes it even more interesting: it happened at a high school playoff game in Colorado. Check out the video...

Prehistoric Funk
I just stumbled on this video from a few months ago, but it's perfect for some holiday fun. One of the hottest songs of the year so far has been Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk." Turns out the beat and music are very similar to "Walk The Dinosaur," a song by a group called Was (Was Not) in 1987. Pretty amazing how close these two are. I wonder if Robin Thicke had anything to do with "Uptown Funk?"

"Nobody Sees It, Didn't Happen"
Trailer # 2 has been released for Black Mass, the story of Boston's most notorious wanted man, Whitey Bulger, starring Johnny Depp. Johnny's unrecognizable in this one - as he is in most of his films. But funny thing, he does call to mind two other actors. First, Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed. Second, and only in one of the shots in the sunglasses, James Spader's character in The Blacklist. What do you think?

Dick's Still Got It
Dick Van Dyke's a song-and-dance man at heart. Sure, he's an actor and comic too, but deep down inside, he's a song-and-dance man. So it's not surprising to see him moving quite well - especially given that he's 89 years old - in this video for Dustbowl Revival's song, "Never Had to Go." He's still got his comic chops too.

Thank You for Your Service
It's Memorial Day, a time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. We should all the take the time to stop and say thank you to those who've gone before us. And let's not forget to say thanks to those that are still here. This amazing video is from a year ago, but it remains poignant. Runners in San Jose, California were participating in a charity race benefitting the military. A 95-year-old veteran named Joe Bell set up a chair in front of his home, and sat in his old uniform tunic and cap to watch the racers pass. And before long, the race was all about Joe, as the runners came up to him and shook his hand to thank him for his service. Touching. (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); The sight of a 95-year-old veteran cheering on runners in a military charity race in San Jose triggered a spontaneous show of patriotism that captured the nation's attention.Joe Bell was waving at the runners when suddenly he became the one being honored. One by one, participants ran over to Bell, shaking his hand and thanking him for his service.The race benefited the Pat Tillman Foundation, set up in honor of the fallen Army Ranger and San Jose native.Watch KTLA's video here: http://ktlane.ws/1kwcgo9 Posted by KTLA 5 News on Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Dave Grohl - The 5th Beatle
Music fans in London got a treat on Saturday night. Paul McCartney was in concert. Like that's not enough. But, he invited Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters on stage with him to assist with a Beatles classic, "I Saw Her Standing There." Couple of observations... (1) Paul's voice is holding out pretty well for a guy about to turn 74. (2) Dave and Paul together is a very cool collaboration. And I would love to see more of them!

"Can You Smell What the Rock is Officiating?"
So, Nick Mundy from Screen Junkies is a huge fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Over the years, they've developed an actual friendship. Enough so that the rest of the crew at Screen Junkies was able to get The Rock to help out when they wanted to pull a prank on Nick. Well, not really a prank. It was a surprise wedding. Not only did The Rock agree, he decided he wanted to be the wedding officiant, so he went and got ordained and registered with the state of California. Check out the footage - it's actually pretty cool.

Managing and Enjoying Reseeding Perennials
Melinda's Blog is brought to you by American Transmission Company. More is often considered better, except when it comes to unwanted seedlings. Self seeding perennials mean lots of free plants to move to other gardens in the landscape, but sometimes it just means more unwanted plants to control. Purple coneflower and Black-eyed Susan are two popular perennials that can quickly fill your garden with their offspring. You can reduce the problem by removing faded flowers and thus eliminating the seeds. The downside, the birds will miss eating the seeds and you'll miss the winter beauty and bird activity the seeds provide. I choose to leave the seedheads intact, enjoy the birds and share the seedlings with friends, community organizations or my compost pile. Garden phlox is another prolific seeder. Deadheading – removing the faded flowers - reduces reseeding, but also encourages additional bloom. A bit more information: Plume poppy, Northern sea oats, columbine and blackberry lily are other perennials that tend to self seed. Share your extra seedlings with friends. Keep a few old pots or plastic bags and a trowel on hand. When your gardening friends come to visit, hand them a trowel and container and let them dig a few of their favorites. You'll have fewer seedlings and they'll have more plants for their garden. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Who's Got the Dramamine?
The folks at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California have a new roller coaster that could be perfect for you - if you're a daredevil. It's called Twisted Colossus, and as advertised, it does things that other coasters don't. Or can't. Or both. It's a hybrid steel-and-wood double-track coaster, and the folks at Theme Park Review call it "insane." That's the ride itself, not the riders - although that may also be accurate. Check out this amazingly scary video. And let me know - would you ride in the front seat? Would you ride it at all? (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Twisted Colossus REAL POV! OMG! Insane!!! OMG! Twisted Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain is absolutely out of control! This ride does things no other roller coaster has done! You HAVE to see this video! Who wants to ride?

Letterman's Very Last Top 10 List

And what better topic for his last Top 10 than the Top 10 Things I've Always Wanted to Say to David Letterman. And who better to pronounce these than good friends to Dave and his program, like Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Peyton Manning, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Barbara Walters and Alec Baldwin. What a way to wrap up this tradition.

What the Other Late Night Talk Hosts Did
Did you wonder what the other late night talk hosts did to mark David Letterman's retirement? Earlier this week, we posted Jimmy Kimmel's tribute. That was very special. On the night of Dave's last show, Conan O'Brien did his regular show for 35 minutes, and when the clock hit 11:35PM, he and his guest, Patton Oswalt, urged people to go and watch Dave's show. Pretty cool - and watch what they did afterwards! James Corden, the new host of The Late Late Show that until Wednesday followed Dave, sang a special tribute song to Dave with the help of a heavily-bearded Sting. Also pretty cool...

JWoww Delivers a Smackdown
Jenni Farley - aka JWoww from Jersey Shore - took to Instagram to talk about pictures of herself in a bikini. Someone snapped and published a bunch of pictures of her at a pool in a bathing suit. She was with her daughter and her fiance. People being what they are - sometimes pretty stupid and rude - they made comments about JWoww's body, calling her flabby and referring to her "cellulite-ridden caboose." Others would have curled up in a corner and cried a while But this is JWoww, after all, one of the toughest young ladies on the Eastern seaboard. Check out what she has to say... And tell me if you feel like standing up and cheering... I want to sit here and say that I'm embarrassed by these pictures but honestly I'm not. I'm a new mom that loves to work out but also loves food as well. I was at my girlfriend @joeidfox wedding at an all-inclusive resort and decided to indulge and have the best time of my life with my daughter at a pool. I also decided to pick a wedgy (which is a pretty amazing photo in itself). But at the end of the day I am not perfect and neither is my body... And to make it worse someone decided to sell even more awkward photos of me on vacation with my family So tabloids can get a nice laugh and write mean things... I will always try to eat healthy and take @310nutrition supplements and consistently work out But I'm also a human and I love being me and I love my life I will never try to follow the trend of being stick thin I follow the trend of what I love in life... And what I love is me Everyone love yourself and consider yourself #flawless ✌🏼💜💗 A photo posted by Jenni JWOWW (@jwoww) on May 19, 2015 at 3:45pm PDT

The Rock Melts
This happened earlier in the week, but it's pretty uplifting and worthy of sharing. Dwayne Johnson - aka The Rock - posted a picture to Instagram. It shows him reading a letter, grinning like a child at Christmas. Turns out the letter is from Steven Spielberg - yes, that Steven Spielberg - who wrote to say that he is a fan of Dwayne's work. Dwayne was moved, because growing up, he'd been a huge fan of Steven's. Look at the picture. And read what he said. So cool! Grinnin' now like a big ass kid... When I was 8yrs old I sat front row to see a sold out INDIANA JONES in its opening weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of that theater excited and wanted to be "Indy".. cool, funny, charming with the ladies and kickin' ass w/ a smile. But at 8yrs old I was also perfectly content playing w/ my Star Wars figures and sneaking off listening to Richard Pryor concerts. Throughout the years I've credited this man and his movies as being my greatest inspiration in becoming an actor and wanting to always make "his kind" of movies - entertaining, quality and above all else.. heart. Just receiving this personal letter from him and its not only made me incredibly humbled and grateful, but it's also brought me back to being that 8yr old boy again who not only loves movies, but I now get to make the movies I love and enjoy the impact they have on others. THANK YOU STEVEN SPIELBERG for these inspiring and motivating words in your letter and cheers to making sure I'm always listening to that little voice in my gut. #CoolestGiftEver #BigAss8yrOldKid #SpielbergInspired A photo posted by therock (@therock) on May 15, 2015 at 9:34pm PDT

Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out!
It wasn't even 24 hours since David Letterman signed off for the last time. Crews from CBS descended on The Ed Sullivan Theater yesterday to dismantle the Late Show set. Dismantle is a gentle word. They destroyed it. Chopped it to pieces. Tossed it into dumpsters. The New York Post has a series of pictures showing the travesty. Click here if you dare. According to reports, Dave's desk was carefully bubble-wrapped, and will be shipped off to the Smithsonian. As for the rest - headed for a scrap heap in Jersey, most likely. A pretty unceremonious epilogue for Dave's career, don't you think?

Mine! Mine! Mine!
This is an amazing video. A guy in Holland was on the seashore, trying to lunch on some herring. He hung it over his mouth - that's the way you eat herring in Holland, they say - and had it half in his mouth when a seagull swooped in and grabbed it from him. Looks like the seagulls in Finding Nemo, doesn't it?

Embrace Who You Are - J-Lo Does!
Jennifer Lopez is the cover girl for US Weekly's Best Bodies issue. And she offers up a video commentary on the photo shoot for the cover that's vintage J-Lo. She knows she's not a classic model - tall and leggy and a size 0. "I embrace who I am," she says. "I feel sexy, I feel youthful, I feel pretty sometimes." And she's a 45-year-old cover model. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Bill Murray, Entertainment Tornado
Bill Murray was David Letterman's last guest on Tuesday night. He popped out of a cake, and did shots of vodka with Dave. Then he went out to dinner, had a little wine, and zipped off to MSNBC - at their invitation - to talk about his appearance on Dave's show. Naturally, Bill was a little, shall we say, under the weather thanks to the night's libations. The folks at Inside Edition have the whole thing captured, including Bill landing on his butt trying to get onto a chair.

Mickey Says No Selfie Sticks Here!
The folks at Disney have officially banned the use of selfie sticks on their rides at Disney World and Disneyland. Let's face it: they can be obnoxious, the way people use them. But more importantly, they can be downright dangerous on a fast-moving amusement park ride. So Disney decided to make it official, with signs all over their parks. Now if we could just get them banned everywhere else, we'd be doing something... No Selfie Sticks sign outside Big Thunder Mountain! Good call, Disney. pic.twitter.com/OnzNRTT9Uj — Inside the Magic (@InsideTheMagic) May 17, 2015

Can the Bromance Survive a Commute?
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have a bromance. It's one of the most talked-about elements of The Voice, just how close these guys are. They put the relationship to the test recently, driving to work together. Adam's driving, and Blake's in the passenger seat with his Thermos of soup. It's like watching an old married couple squabbling. And it's pretty funny. Check it out.

A Truly Touching Tribute to Letterman
We weren't the only ones watching David Letterman's farewell show last night. Other late night hosts were watching too.

SPACE pirate and alien life forms could soon be seen zooming around the Lake District – thanks to a new million dollar movie.
Old Hutton writer and director Rick McLeod has teamed up with a group of American producers to make a science fiction film based on cult television series Firefly.
The US consortium, one of whom has done sound-tracks for Mr McLeod in the past, originally began filming experimental sequences in county – but then the idea turned into a feature-length film.
Although $1 million is a relatively small budget for a movie, Mr McLeod said he was 'shocked' when the group gave the figure.
"Last year was a good one for us – we're still reeling from that – so when they approached me my first question was 'Are you serious?'
"It's not easy to make films in Cumbria, especially with the UK Film Council gone. When we had Leslie Grantham here, he was unpaid because he loved the script.
"It's great to know that our hard work is starting to pay off."
The film, called Lost Transmission, follows the lonely adventure of Blake, captain of a mining ship, with no-one but his computer to talk to after war breaks out on Earth. But he leaves the planet to find life on other worlds.
Filming is expected to start in early 2012, and will be split between Cumbria and America.
CGI effects are already being worked on by the studio, which created a castle in the middle of Windermere in a previous flick.
Before filming begins in earnest, Mr McLeod is shooting a short promotional video with action sequences in Old Hutton.
And he is looking for '23rd century pirates' to star as extras in a fight scene on Sunday, to be led by a trained fight choreographer.
"We're seeking punks, goths and heavy rockers. Long or short hair, tattoos and piercings are a bonus but not essential. The more outrageous the look the better," said Mr McLeod.
Filming will last for between two and three hours and anyone interested can email email@example.com.
Participants are requested to send a head shot with their email.
Discussions with actors to play the role of Blake are still going on.
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

After 35 years in business, Don Williamson Nissan has undergone a facelift.
The business recently welcomed visitors to tour its new two-story, 26,000-square-foot facility, located at
"We're certainly happy to be in this new building," Owner Don Williamson said. "We actually have the first air conditioned service department in
General Manager Alycia Tomazic said the former 35-year-old building was demolished and construction began for the new building in December of 2011. Hudson Brothers Construction Company of
"It was an old building with no service line to drive thorough, and we started looking at what was more cost-effective," Tomazic said. "It was easier to knock the old one down and start over again."
Williamson, who has been in the auto business locally since 1969, said the facility adds a new appeal to the Nissan image and provides more space for employees.
"During the construction our whole organization was operated out of our smaller (Mitsubishi) building, which was like a shoebox," Williamson said. "We needed more space, a new service department and more office space even thought it still was a nice building."
Some of the new amenities include conference room areas upstairs for employment training and meetings, a new lounge and lockers and restrooms for technicians. Customers can also continue to take advantage of the full range of auto services, including a few new features.
"We're going to be opening an Express Lube, which we've never had before, and we have all new equipment in the service department," Tomazic said. "We want to make sure people are aware and come where to our new service department is."
"I like that they have added in a new gas pump, and the new technology is pretty interesting,"
Tomazic said the expansion allows the dealership to continue to provide affordable deals to — and cement the company's place in — the community.
"We're in a good place because of our military, and we do include special offers for military," Tomazic said. "I enjoy living and working in

RICHLANDS — Junior Quentin Fenn said he wanted a hit to the fence with a teammate on second base and one out in the bottom of the seventh inning.
And while Fenn didn't get the deep shot he was after, his poke toward right field was good enough to drive home the only run in the Wildcats' 1-0 victory over East Duplin on Friday night in an East Central 2-A Conference baseball game.
"I was looking at hitting it to the fence to be honest with you," Fenn said. "All I got was a tap. I really wasn't swinging, though, and I was second-guessing myself. I just got enough."
Junior right-hander Ethan Horne earned the win after he pitched a complete-game shutout for the Wildcats (5-1-1, 2-0). Given the way he pitched and the defensive execution behind him, Horne needed just one run to record the victory over the Panthers (1-4, 0-2).
That run came from Heath Scurlock, who got things going in the bottom of the seventh with a walk. Scurlock then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Heath Collins.
"We walked the lead-off guy and that's usually going to come back to get you," East Duplin first-year coach Tim Jenkins said. "A walk ended up making the difference in the game."
After Collins' bunt, Fenn stepped to the plate and got his hit on the first pitch he faced, lifting the ball just over first baseman Austin Taylor's head.
"We get that lead-off walk…, you are going to score 80 percent of the time," Richlands first-year coach Jeff Sprenger said. "We get a dink like that and win the game, but that's baseball. Quentin is going to be that guy who puts the ball in play for us.
"He's been struggling a little bit, but I knew he was going to find a hole somewhere. His approach was correct in that he went for right field."
Added Horne: "I'm glad for him (Fenn) to get that opportunity like that to get a game-winning hit."
Horne certainly was another difference for the Wildcats. He allowed just 4 hits, struck out 6 and walked 3 with one hit batter.
"Ethan was moving his curveball tonight," said Sprenger, adding Horne would have been taken out if the game went into extra innings. "He's not just throwing the ball any more. When he mixes his curveball, he's pretty good."
Horne ran into trouble in the top of the seventh when he gave up a pair of singles and walked a batter all with two outs. However, he got the third out on a flyout to second base.
"I got to thank my middle infield and all my outfielders because they made some great plays behind me," said Horne, who agreed with Sprenger that his curveball was breaking.
Horne said he remained pumped up because of the success of East Duplin pitchers Jacob Carter and Joseph Rogers. Carter, a left-hander, allowed just 1 hit and walked 4 in 4 1/3 innings before Rogers, a right-hander, came in and allowed 2 hits and walked 2 in 1 2/3 innings.
"They played a great game," Horne said of the Panthers. "They put the ball in play and their pitchers did a great job. Hats off to them, but, yeah, it did motivate me to keep on keeping on."
Despite the loss, Jenkins was also pleased with the effort from his pitching staff. Carter and Rogers also got help from their fielders, especially in the fifth and sixth innings.
In the fifth, shortstop Holden Taylor caught a line drive off Fenn and threw to third base to get a runner before he tagged up. In the sixth, center fielder Tyler Hargrove made a diving catch in right-center field to end an inning that saw Richlands have runners on first and second.
"Jacob, that's probably the best I've seen him pitch since I've been at East Duplin," Jenkins said. "To see him start off a little bit rocky and then gain momentum and confidence, that was excellent. Our relief pitcher, him coming in and doing big things for us, that built his confidence as well."
Yet the Wildcats still found a way to win.
"This is how baseball is supposed to be played," Sprenger said. "I'm just glad we came out on top in the end. This tells you that we don't quit. Coming into this game, we led the state in runs scored, but this shows we can play a tight game, too."

I first ordered this jacket in a size XS (I'm 5'4'' 110 lbs) because I wasn't sure if the "slim fit" was really going to make a difference. In the past I have typically purchased Patagonia size Small but those were in "regular fit" and they all were pretty baggy on me. After getting the XS and trying it on I knew immediately I couldn't wear it. It was way too tight and the "slim fit" was no joke. I returned it using my regular post office (which was $1 cheaper than printing a return slip on moosejaw's website), and within a week I got the notification that my item was returned. Then I purchased this same jacket again in a size Small, thankfully they still had one in stock! The Small fits perfectly and it is a great color! The inside is not fuzzy like the outside (except around the neck), but there is definitely room for sweaters and long sleeve shirts to fit underneath! It is the perfect jacket to wear outside during a run (w/ zipper pockets). Overall, I'm so happy with my purchase!!
I own way too many jackets from Spyder, The North Face to Patagonia. I bought this for my sister and now I have to fight off all the guys. But in all seriousness this is a great product I have a similar jacket and it is my go to jacket for not only casual but rock climbing. Yes this jacket is practical!!
I bought this jacket with high hopes that its supposed windproof description would be true. I am thoroughly pleased with how accurate it is! In the cooler months, this is the perfect jacket for keeping out a lakefront breeze and staying cozy! The quality of the Retro-X is evident in its sturdy interior lining, and the fleece outer shell has gotten softer with use. Overall, I highly recommend this product for someone looking to stay warm in windier conditions, whether you're hiking a trail or just a busy street. The length is a bit on the shorter side (I'm 5'9'' and the medium is comfortable but fits JUST at the hip), but sleeve length and overall fit is otherwise true to size.
I bought this to go on a trip to Europe to the Alps, and I managed to stay warm enough almost all days just wearing this over a t-shirt (weather was in the 30's and 40's). It's furry but sturdy, and also blocks wind really well! I'm 5'8" and about 130 lbs and got a small, but it was a bit too small for me. Much sturdier than a North Face Denali. Not as soft, but definitely more of an outdoor jacket. I feel like this jacket will probably last forever. Heck, I might be able to pass it down to my grandkids!
This jacket is amazing. It's hard core and fashionable. The fancy wind-blocking fleece does an excellent job at what it's meant to do. Love the slim cut and the nubby look. I'm 5'3" and have it in black XS, could possibly size up to a S, but I like the fitted look of the XS.
I bought this as a gift for a family member and he wear it all of the time. He always says that it is the most comfortable article of clothing (jacket wise) that he has ever had the pleasure of owning. It is warm and lightweight which makes it easy to move in. He is an avid snow shoer and says that when it is bright and sunny, it is the only jacket he needs.
I already have a windproof R4 in black, but I really wanted this jacket as well, so I ordered the brown. I wear an XS in the R4, but needed a small in this one. The fit is great, and it's quite warm. The interior lining seemed a bit stiff at first, but it's softening up. Overall a great addition to my selection of jackets.
I absolutely love this coat! It's the warmest coat I own at least for the upper body. The wind proof barrier is great and actually keeps you nice and toasty (much better than the mountain hardware and north face denali version of this coat) I ordered a medium (I'm almost 5'7 and 120 lb) even though I usually wear a small in Patagoina because this jacket seems to run a little small and I sometimes like to layer. If you're on the fence with this one get it!
This is definately a good jacket to have when you want more than the traditional fleece. The only issue I have was the fit. I am typically between a small and a medium at 5'8'' so when they said it was a slim fit product I knew I definately should get the medium. Had I tried it on I probably would have ordered a large so that I could fit sweaters under it comfortably but once I knew that the large was sold out and I decided to keep the medium. It is perfect for fall and spring in Ohio where temperatures have a wide range and you never know when you will need a warm jacket. Look forward to more patagonia and moosejaw purchase to come!
This jacket is wonderful! I have had it for a couple of years now, and consistently wear it every season! It is very warm, and I tend to only wear a light sweater/shirt under it because it seems to be sufficient in 30-40 degree weather. It fits true to size and I find that it may be warmer to order a size down for a more snug fit. Great, stylish jacket!

Revisions to the Facility Response Plan Rule
The Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements were published in the Federal Register on July 1, 1994. Since then, a number of revisions have been discussed or finalized, including modified requirements for an owner or operator of a facility handling, storing, or transporting animal fats or vegetable oils.
Revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
On September 15, 1994, EPA promulgated revisions to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 amends existing provisions of the Clean Water Act and creates major new authorities addressing oil and hazardous substance spill response. The amended Clean Water Act required the President to revise the NCP to reflect these changes.
Denial of Request to Amend the FRP Requirements for Animal Fat/Vegetable Oil Facilities (PDF)
On October 20, 1997, EPA denied the request to amend the FRP rule so that facilities with animal fats and vegetable oils would be treated differently from those facilities with petroleum-based oils. EPA believes that the petition did not substantiate differentiation between the oils.
Amended FRP Requirements for Animal Fat/Vegetable Oil Facilities (PDF)
On June 30, 2000, EPA amended the FRP to provide a more specific methodology for calculating planning volumes for a worst case discharge of animal fats and vegetable oils. The revision also includes separate regulatory sections for animal fats and vegetable oils, adds new definitions for animal fats and vegetable oils, and establishes new groups of oils based on the specific gravity of animal fats and vegetable oils.

With significant areas of overlapping high biodiversity resources and mineral wealth, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) faces increasing pressure from competing uses of land widely considered incompatible. This policy paper reviews the rise of commercial mining and the mining concessions afforded ostensibly at the expense of conservation efforts where protected areas and mining permits overlap. The paper highlights the need for the DRC to review and harmonize multiple and often contradictory laws, strengthen land use laws, and build implemetation and enforcement capacity.

Oregan Hoskins has revealed to keo.co.za that he met with a few northern-based Presidents in Johannesburg earlier today as he kicks off his campaign to oust Brian van Rooyen as Saru president. He denied any involvement from either Andre Markgraaff or Louis Luyt, as has been alleged.
"Andre phoned me on Sunday to wish me well," Hoskins admitted. "But that was the first time I've spoken to him since he was deputy president of Saru. As for Louis Luyt, well I have no idea where that link comes from. I've greeted him on the odd occasion when he's visited Absa Stadium, but have never actually spoken to him."
Hoskins was speaking as both candidates for the Saru presidency begin to campaign in earnest for support.
"I have just had a meeting with some of the presidents in Johannesburg, just some of the guys who were in the vicinity. There were no special invitations. I reiterated to them that all I offer is honesty, integrity and a clean administration. That will be my message throughout this campaign."
Despite the renowned bitterness and shady nature of rugby politics in South Africa, Hoskins is adamant he will not deal with presidents in exchange for votes.
"If I don't win this election, I won't be that upset. I will not sacrifice everything to win. I base my campaign on simple ethics, and if that's what the rugby administrators in this country want, then I'm up for it.
"I only decided to stand for the presidency in the last couple of weeks. I was approached by various stakeholders in the game that got me thinking seriously about this. I have spoken to a number of unions, and when I saw that I do enjoy popular support, I decided to take this seriously."
Hoskins' campaign received a boost earlier today when Golden Lions CEO Andy Turner announced that his union would not support Van Rooyen in the election.
"I was pleasantly surprised by that decision. I take the vote of confidence in me very seriously, and I would like to repay that with honesty and integrity."
Van Rooyen's stint as president has been notable for the large amount of power returned to the president's office, a situation Hoskins believes is not fully viable.
"A good way to illustrate this is to look back at when Rian [Oberholzer] and Silas [Nkanunu] were in power. There you had a very powerful CEO and a weaker president. The current situation is reversed. Brian is a very powerful president and Johan [Prinsloo] is not even in the picture. What we need is balance, as rugby guys we need to learn from our mistakes."
