The Swift is a shoulder bag specifically for knitters and crafty types, designed by Tom in collaboration with the readers of Knitty® magazine. The Swift's tote-bag design allows its contents to be easily found: you'll never have to waste time searching inside deep caverns for small, lost items.
| The Swift Story:
In 2005, we held a contest with Knitty® magazine and asked their readers to tell us everything they would like to see in the ultimate knitting bag — from colors, materials, and style of bag to functionality, accessories, and size. We received a flood of entries and suggestions. Tom made a few prototypes and sent them off to the editors of Knitty® for review; they responded with their ideas and thoughts. And, when the final design was ready for debut, the editors of Knitty® held a naming party. Many great names were suggested, but the winning entry was chosen because it has significance to knitters but doesn't designate the bag as solely for knitting: it's a great bag for all kinds of crafts, and many folks will find its clear pockets and stuff sack useful features in an everyday bag. Special thanks go to Amy and all the editors and readers of Knitty® magazine: we (really) couldn't have done it without you.
The Swift is available in multiple colors and fabrics, although the features, layout, and size remain the same in all versions.
Also available is the The Little Swift, which is — you guessed it — a smaller version of the Swift.
Inside the Swift are two clear urethane pockets backed with our Japanese Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric. The pockets mirror each other, and they close with strong #8 YKK zippers. Above one of these pockets you'll find an
The included Medium Yarn Stuff Sack is made of the same Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric that backs the clear urethane pockets of the Swift. This Yarn Stuff Sack can accommodate a large ball of yarn. It has a drawstring top, and it includes a feature knitters will immediately notice as indispensable: a triangular clip open/close grommet to feed yarn through. The clear urethane bottom allows you to quickly see what the Yarn Stuff Sack contains.
Additional Yarn Stuff Sacks, available in a wide variety of sizes and colors, are available for purchase here.
The remaining interior of the Swift is devoted to space: lots of it. For custom organization, add Clear Organizer Pouches or Clear Quarter Packing Cubes. A button closure secures the top of the bag, which, unlike a zipper, won't fray yarn or projects. The handles are the ideal length for carrying in hand or on the shoulder, with the highest quality PORON® foam padding them.

As reviewed by indigodragonfly:
"This bag holds A LOT! To give you an idea of how much, I�ve filled the main compartment of the bag with 8 balls of yarn, the finished Tilted Duster and a copy of Knitting Nature, along with everyday things like my wallet and glasses. The bag is fill about 2/3 of the way to the top. I wouldn�t want to put much more in it, because it would make access to the pockets a little difficult. Yes! The pockets. The bag has 2 big zippered pockets with a clear vinyl front so you can see what you put in them. The back of the pockets are lined with the Dyneema nylon which has a dark grey background and white grid. Very easy to see what�s in the pockets. I use one pocket for everyday items like my glasses and cell phone� " Read the full review.
As reviewed by Lapdog Creations:
"Swift's spacious tote design was well thought out, allowing for easy access to what you put in - and want to take out without calling in the search hounds - the bag. Nothing is going to get lost at the bottom or in a tiny dark corner of this bag - not even the dog treats! The entire interior design has been devoted to space and organization - two more factors in finding my perfect knitting bag." Read the full review.

Swift Steel/Steel Ballistic - LOVE IT!!!!
"Just received the regular size Swift in Steel/Steel Ballistic, and I can't say enough about this color combination! The steel is much darker than shown on my monitor and that was a pleasant surprise. It is gorgeous - a very rich color. I can see this bag not only as my knitting bag but also my daily carryall. I added the Guardian Dual Function Light, two colored key straps with 2 clear organizer pouches and a tall yarn sack. What else can I say - it's perfect!!! Hope to see the Little Swift made in this same combination. Thanks, Tom Bihn!" — posted by Wishnfarm
"I asked Santa for a Swift a year ago, and he surprised me with one! Anyway, I have a traveling job, and the long plane rides made me take up knitting again. This last year was South Africa, a 24 hour trip from my home. And, of course, I eventually learned how to leave my suitcase there and my clothes at the dry cleaners. In all of my trips, I would load up the Swift with books, goodies, important electronics, my knitting, extra yarn, etc. The Swift comes through! It is truly a bag based on the Mary Poppins principle." — posted by rosie1925
Swift another winning TB bag!
"First look out of the box it seemed smaller than I expected. But once the 15 skeins of yarn for the afghan went in and my Vogue Knitting book and folder with patterns and all the misc. tools of the trade into the clear pockets and my active projects in the quarter packing cube, the Swift filled out nicely. Mine is ballistic and holds its smooth shape well as I kept packing in more and more yarn. I'm really pleased with how much it holds. So much nicer beside the chair than the old brown grocery bag." — posted by Skylark

Rolls-Royce Nene II Cutaway
Gift of the National Museum of Naval Aviation
The Nene is a centrifugal compressor turbojet engine that produced 5,400 lbs of thrust. It was derived from the Whittle W.2 design and was the propulsion basis for two significant aircraft: the Grumman F9F "Panther" and the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15.
Considered very powerful among early jet engines, it was manufactured under license in the U.S. by Pratt & Whitney as the J42. This example powered the prototype F9F-2 from March through October, 1948. It then became a U.S. Navy instructional cutaway in December, 1949.
Other aircraft to use the Nene included:
This engine is located in the connector between the Military and Civilian hangars.

PICKENS COUNTY – Master Deputy Tom Williamson of the Pickens County Sheriff's Office became interested in law enforcement while working security as an off duty firefighter.
"Back in 1980, I was a firefighter and working part time as a security officer," Williamson said. "I started talking to county police officers and I got interested in law enforcement. I took the test, passed it, and joined the Charleston County Police Department in March of 1980."
Williamson is a lifelong resident of South Carolina and has been in Pickens County for nearly 25 years.
"I met my wife while working in Charleston and she is from Easley," Williamson said. "She loved this area so we moved here up here in 1989 and I really love it. The people are really nice and I will end my career here."
Williamson graduated from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy in 1981 and earned an Associate's Degree in Criminal Justice in 1993 from Tri-County Technical College.
"I graduated from the academy in 1981 and by 1988, I decided to earn my associate's degree in criminal justice," Williamson said. "I started while I was working for Charleston County and when I moved to Pickens County in 1989 I continued with Tri-County Tech. It took me five years, but I finally got it in 1993."
Williamson said the degree has helped him further his career.
"At the time I got it, we were given bonuses for getting your degree," he said. "It was very beneficial to me and it also helped me climb all the way through the ranks to lieutenant which I held for 13 years."
Williamson's career for the Pickens County Sheriff's Office began in August of 1989.
"I started my career here in 1989, and in 1992, we were given a traffic grant which I was in charge of because of my previous experience," Williamson said. "We had a four man team and at the end of 1992, I was promoted to sergeant over the traffic division where I remained for about six years until I was promoted to lieutenant."
Williamson spent 13 years as lieutenant before taking a voluntary reassignment in the office of professional standards.
"After 13 years as a uniformed patrol lieutenant, I decided to take a voluntary reassignment," Williamson said. "They put me in the professional standards division and my job now is to register sex offenders and make sure they are where they are supposed to be. Currently, we have 256 in the county and all but eight are accounted for, so I think we are doing very well with that."
According to Williamson, he is happy with his current position and plans on remaining there until retirement.
"I really enjoy my new position," Williamson said. "I now have weekends off and no more night shifts. My wife is very excited and I plan on staying at this position until I retire."

Your slipcover is beautiful! I love the trim idea. Stunning! I sew apparel for myself (hence, the blog name), and since I know my way around a sewing machine, I decided to sew my own sofa slipcover this fall when we moved into a new house:
The fabric is admittedly a little late 90's looking, but the colors make me so happy that I had to go with it (when do you see robin's egg blue with shades of red?).
It was a total PITA, but if you have even moderate sewing skills and a lot of patience and time (though I had neither), you might be able to pull it off on your own.
PS - I totally inserted invisible zippers on the sides since our sofa floats.

Gorgeous new slipcover, Miss C! I am a HUGE fan of slipcovers--especially with children; and slipcovers can be tailored and beautiful. Yours is a perfect example! I did as many slipcovers as I could at our rental and the place stays nice and fresh since we can wash the upholstery frequently. HUGE fan. :)
Has anyone told you today how cool that brass lamp quartet is? Consider yourself told.

I was optimistic on board the train, heading to The Hague for Japan's final presentation of its case for continuing Antarctic whaling. The court case started more than 3 weeks ago at the International Court of Justice and my lawyer colleagues and I have been coming here regularly to observe what is happening.
Rather astonishingly the last days I had to watch it on a computer in my hotel room after all members of the public were barred from the hearings without explanation.
Japan claims that Article 8 of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling allows it to do what it wants, regardless of the rest of the Convention but Australia has made a powerful case that Japan cannot justify any and all whaling that it wants to do just by calling that whaling 'scientific' and that Article 8 cannot stand alone. New Zealand made similar points in their intervention. As Australia pointed out, if every other member of the IWC set the same 'scientific' quota as Japan, as they would be entitled to do under Japan's interpretation, the quota would exceed 80,000 whales a year.
Even Japan's single expert witness had to admit that he believed that Article 8 had been intended to allow only a very small catch of 10 or less and that he could not understand the scientific justification for the numbers being taken. Australia described Japan's case as mere assertion unsupported by evidence, saying that it had been based on 'silence, contradiction and disparagement' rather than facts.
So I was interested to see what Japan had to say as they were represented by top British and French lawyers and I didn't think they would give up without a fight.
Indeed they did put up a fight: Japan complained that Australia had insulted their dignity by accusing them of lying. They claimed this was just a disagreement among scientists, which in no way shows that JARPA II is not science since the records of the IWC's scientific committee show only that there is disagreement, but no agreement. (This is hardly surprising, for the scientific committee to agree anything requires consensus, including all the Japanese scientists). They listed every point that Australia had made and responded to each.
Japan failed to meaningfully address how they decided how many whales to take and why the program had no end date. They spoke of scientific freedom and said the purpose of JARPA II was to provide data to allow the resumption of commercial whaling in the Southern Ocean – an area that is a whale sanctuary.
What will the 16 judges make of it all? We will have to wait, perhaps to the end of the year, to find out.

I want to explain you guys - hypocrazy.
let the nations like Japan Norway and so on eat their whales like they do since 100 years. for hypocrats it is easy to say as a non-whale eater to stop and change the food habits you have since generations. WHAT WOULD BE IF MUSLIMS WOULD STOP WESTERN COUNTRIES TO BREED AND SLAUGHTER AND EAT PIGS AND Hindus would forbid us to eat beef, cows? this is exactly the same..to forbid JP and such nations to hunt and eat whales. The consumated whales is a tiny tiny % compared to the beef, pig meat in Europe. Whale population is not on decline...very few nations eat whales and there must be a quota. And now all the HIndu Greenpeace activists should start to Forbid any beef eating nations to kill, eat cows. FYI I am a vegetarian liberal and I think the Japanese have the right to continue to hunt in TINY TINY quota like they do since 100s of years..whereas the meat production in Europe grew massive in the last decades...that should be CUT down....hunt for food is OK--but to grow meat in mass and kill to eat thats even worse. Think about your hypocracy.

I'm all in favour of allowing Japan to continue whaling just like their ancestors did - using exactly and ONLY the types of sailing ships, hand-thrown harpoons and star-powered navigational tools that their ancestors did in the 1600s. That would at least create a level playing field. To me any time you defend a practice as 'culturally critical' to today's way of life, you better make sure everything else lines up with those past practices including the exact past methods used. It's hard to defend and justify a way of life that simply does not exist any longer. Japan is no longer a feudal state governed by an Emperor who was treated like a god. The country and world have long evolved to a more enlightened state of mind. Why try to hold onto one throwback to the dark ages when you've moved forward in every other aspect of your modern way of life?!? Hopefully a younger generation of Japanese (like Icelanders) will finally free their country from the shameful shackles of this unnecessary cruelty against whales!

Just because something has happened for hundreds of years doesn't make it ok. By that logic you could justify mruder, rape etc.

Can you imagine if the 'scientific' research of any other endangered species - gorillas, elephants, rhinos, pandas etc - involved the killing of those animals (and selling of their meat) in order to complete the alleged studies? The world would be rightfully outraged as they are at the spurious pretence by Japanese killing whales in the alleged name of science. What a joke! For a nation which has given the world so many high quality scientific and technological advancements in the 20th and 21st centuries, it must be curious and embarrassing for modern Japanese to defend a barbaric practice that dates back hundreds of years.

A clip of japan's activity in killing whales was recently posted on facebook and it made me absolutely sick to see these whales being murdered for recreation & black-market sales. All nations need to get involved to force the end to this callous man made-extinction of the innocent whale population! The united nations needs to be or get involved. The shame alone to Japan should make them STOP IMMEDIATELY. Japan is by far a modern civilization with advancements in all areas of business and technology. How they are hiding behind the "scientific excuse" is appalling to all of us.

Whether you think iOS 5 is revolutionary or not it has added some much needed features. Whenever I take a picture on a mobile device I usually do no spend much time going back through my pictures and organzing them, sharing them, or uploading them to my computer. With the new features in iCloud I can now take a picture on my device and it will autmoatically upload it to my computer (if you have the newest version of iPhone or you set up the Windows iCloud Control Panel.)
When you take a picture and are connected to the Internet the picture will automatically sync to your Photo Stream. You can then open up your Photo Stream on a different device or computer to see your pictures. These pictures will be in the cloud for 30 days so you can pull the pictures out of the folders on your computer and put them where you want. If you don't move them within 30 days of taking them they will be removed from the Photo Stream and then only be available on the device that took the picture.
This feature is pretty awesome but I still will probably forget about the pictures and they will be off my Photo Stream before I have the chance to get them off. I usually upload all my picture through Piciasa to my web albums so they are always availalbe online no matter where I am. So my goal was to be able to take a picture on my iPad and then have the picture show up in my web albums. I was able to do it and this is how it was done.
First make sure that Photo Stream is enable on your device under iCloud. Then install the iCloud Control Panel on your computer. With this you can select where pictures will upload to when you take a picture on your device. next install Picasa and sign into your Gmail account to enable the ability to upload your photos to your web albums. Then make sure that you add the download folder that will have your Photo Stream photos to always keep updated in Picasa. Then once Picasa finds the folder switch it to upload to web albums. I would like to not here it is a good idea to check your Picasa settings and make sure that you are uploading the original size picture. Also make sure that you set Picasa to read all the different file types especially .png if you want screen shots to upload.
After that you are all set up and read to go. If you keep Picasa open on your computer they will instantly upload to the web albums. In my tests it took about 20 seconds form the time I took a picture for it to show up on my web albums. If you choose to close Picasa it will not automatically upload the photos, just make sure you open it up every once in a while to upload your photos.
Now that all your pictures are on the web you don't need to worry if anything happens to the photos on your device. Now you can delete them, share them, or download them when it is convenient for you. I hope this helps!

Comments about Blackburn Air Tower Shop Pump:
I like the build quality and it works as advertised, that's unusual today. The valve stem holder thing actually works. I'm 71 and we have two Catrikes and this pump doesn't wear me out using it. We roam the US to ride different trails than the Tunnel Hill Trail we ride most of the time and I carry the pump with me in the SUV. Also I can read the pressure gauge without getting down close and using my trifocal glasses. Did I say I like it? Assume I did.

The Waratahs produced their best performance of the competition to beat the Hurricanes 32-16 and book their spot in the play-offs.
The Tahs took to the field in a jersey that probably matches the wallpaper in Phil Waugh's bathroom. Perhaps the jersey designers felt not enough people knew exactly what a Waratah was, or perhaps the coaches wanted to distract the Canes with a design so bad it put Stade Francais' atrocity to shame.
The official line is that the Tahs donned the strip for charity, and they seemed to thrive in the new colours, hammering the Canes up front and scoring some spectacular tries thanks to their sublime support play. The wet conditions should have prescribed a tighter approach, but the Tahs' tendency to look for the offload had the Canes' defence scrambling.
The hosts went into this crucial match without their star scrummager, Benn Robinson, and were dealt a further blow when Dan Palmer cried off with injury in the 11th minute. Unfortunately for the Canes, they also lost captain Andrew Hore early on, a loss that seemed to have a greater impact on their scrumming prowess.
The Tahs bossed this set-piece and piled on the pressure through a relentless forward assault on the Canes' line. The Kiwis were able to withstand the forward barrage and even managed to snaffle a couple of timely turnovers on their own line. But it was when the Tahs ran it from deep that the visitors struggled to get back on defence.
Great offloading complemented penetrative supporting lines until Kurtley Beale received the final pass to dot down. Lachie Turner then created something from nothing, chipping behind the Canes' defence, collecting the ball, and sprinting upfield. The pass at pace was accurate as Drew Mitchell took the score to 18-6.
Piri Weepu managed to goal a penalty before the break, but the Tahs struck decisively after half-time. Having absorbed plenty of punishment in the first stanza, the Canes defence was lethargic and allowed Mitchell to cut the line. The Wallabies winger found Rob Horne in support and was on hand when the Tahs centre delivered the final offload.
The try and subsequent conversion took the Tahs to a 25-9 lead, and the way the hosts were firing, a Canes fightback seemed unlikely. The hosts had the better of possession and were winning the collisions, a battle that was made easier thanks to the tiring Canes defence.
Another chip over the top eluded a seemingly well-placed Cory Jane as Beale collected his own kick to score. The bounce of the ball was favouring the Aussies, and the try ensured they claimed a bonus point.
The Canes played themselves into the Tahs' 22, but their desperation was exacerbated by elementary handling errors. Jane knocked the ball over the tryline, and while you could say that the slippery conditions were responsible, the Tahs were getting all their passes away despite the wet.
Turner was sin-binned in the 67th minute but the Canes failed to make the most of their numbers advantage. They spilled a pass from the resulting penalty and then butchered another opportunity when they ran it from deep. The Tahs defended spiritedly, but eventually conceded a try to David Smith.
The Sydney side has played some uninspiring rugby to date, but this performance confirmed why many teams consider them a threat. Their pack is difficult to stop once it gets going, and when they string a couple of passes together, ala the Crusaders, they can translate pressure into points.
They'll continue to whinge following this win, as the five-point return takes them to second position on the log. Had the Bulls sent their first-string to Newlands and beaten the Stormers, the Tahs would have hosted a play-off.
The Stormers should beat the Bulls B team on Saturday to book a home semi-final, a result that will see Waugh's charges traveling from Sydney to take on an intimidating outfit in Cape Town. The other play-off should see the Bulls hosting the Crusaders.

Salinas, Calif. — SHARK is suing the California Rodeo Salinas – the largest rodeo in California and one of the largest rodeos in the U.S. – for failing to report animal injuries to the state veterinary medical board, as required under California law.
"California law requires the reporting of rodeo animal injuries," said Steve Hindi, founder and president of SHARK. "The intent was to make rodeos transparent. Instead, the law has not been enforced, but rather, manipulated to make rodeos appear harmless."
Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) filed the suit (12-17-14) in Monterey County Superior Court on behalf of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness). Also named as a defendant is California Rodeo Salinas head veterinarian Tim Eastman.
Read the rest of SHARK's press release here.
Mike Turzai, Majority Leader of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, was given a large donation from a political action committee (PAC) three days before a bill that PAC was against was supposed to be voted on. Mr. Turzai then used his power to fulfill the wishes of that PAC; the legislation was not voted on and it died.
We contend that this exchange of money for legislative action violated section §1103 (c) of the Public Official and Employee Ethics Act. On November 12, 2014 SHARK President Steve Hindi Filed an Ethics Complaint. Read more below:
On August 7, 2014, SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) received an anonymous letter informing us that United States Senator Jim Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma, was to have a live pigeon shoot as part of his fundraising event on September 5, 2014, at the Quartz Mountain Lodge in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma. The fundraiser was to support the "Friends of Jim Inhofe and the Fund For A Conservative Future."
Forget the myth of rodeos as all-American sport. Modern rodeos are cruel and deadly for animals. Traditional ranch work has been perverted into a spectacle of animal abuse disguised as "western tradition." Today's rodeos bear little resemblance to ranch work where care was taken to not injure animals. Modern rodeos are nothing more than western-themed circuses with contestants wearing John Wayne costumes and racing against the clock in a cruel spectacle for cash prizes all to sell sugar water, alcohol, and automobiles to the fans. And it's the animals who pay the price, from being electrically prodded to make horses and bulls appear wild to the countless injuries animals suffer from contestants who only care about beating the clock and winning cash before moving on to the next rodeo in the next city.
Anyone with a heart knows it's wrong to clothesline a baby animal, body slam it to the ground, tie its legs so it can't move, and drag it by the neck. If this were done to a puppy or kitten, the offender would understandably be charged with a crime, and likely be jailed. In rodeos, however, it's called calf roping, and supporters claim it's a sport. But the abuse of baby cows is just one of rodeo's cruelties. Read further and watch some of SHARK's video proof from years of rodeo investigations.

I bought this pack for my 22 year old son who was heading out on a european backpack trip this past fall. He was not sure exactly what to expect. The Gregory Whitney 95 worked great for him. I was amazed at how much he could pack into it. He told me his favorite component was that the availability of straps to tighten the load to keep it from shifting was great. We ended up going on a caribou hunt in late September and my son used this pack. Caribou are not as massive as moose but one front quarter and one hindquarter fit well and packed back to camp two miles comfortably. The only negative my son came up with was it was too big for a carry-on.
I used this pack for an 8-Day Alpine Ascents Mountaineering course on Mt. Rainier in June, and it functioned well. After adjusting the pack with the included instructions before starting the climb, I had to make some "custom adjustments" on the fly to adjust the waist strap in order to make it cinch tighter Before doing this, the pack rode bad on the first day hiking, and wore me out. After making this adjustment, it worked much better. Other than that, the pack was easy to get into, and fairly comfortable. The padding was nice, and if anything, the only additional thing I could have asked for would have been more compartments.
I've had this pack forever. Though it's not women specific, I find it to be very comfortable. I'm 5'8", 130 lbs, and a small fits me perfectly. I've used this pack for trips ranging from a week to six weeks, and packed 90 lbs. worth of gear into it. The only straps that have blown after years of abuse are the ones that attach the brain to the main body (pretty easy to repair, unlike if it had been one of the shoulder straps). The best feature is the all the different access points to the inside. You can access almost anything without pulling everything out. AWESOME PACK.
Bought this bag so I can climb Mount Rainier in June '11. Spent a couple of days testing it on the Appalachian Trail. I will recommend to follow the instructions on how to properly adjust the staps and waistbelt. After about a mile in, I realized I had not done that properly. I adjusted and it was great. It was a piece of cake to carry the 45 lbs after that. I do wish the zipper door for the sleeping bag was just slightly larger. I could not fit the pillowtop mattress of a sleeping bag I have even though I used a battering ram to get it into the compression bag. BUT, would I recommend it?....Yes. Great bag. Built very solid with a nice, thick and cushy waist belt.
every other pack on the market uses buckles to hold tools on to the back of their packs.the exception is Gregory - they use 2 small stips of velcro on each side. velcro doesnt hold ice tools, snow shovels or trekking poles to the back of the pack - in fac it hold nothing. as you walk the velcro keeps coming undone and your tools fall off. you get the constant aggravation of picking up your stuff off the ground or having it swing and dangle behind you as you walk. not much fun.these are now made in China - who thought of using velcro on a $399 pack?
It's really well made with tons of access points and features. It feels really great around the waist and has a ridiculous amount of space. If you're a real hiker who needs to bring the pots and pans, a tarp, a stove, sleeping bag, sleeping bag, etc, you need a large pack and this is one of the largest at 5800 cubic inches (M).
Love it!!!!!! This pack has lots of room and the zippers are for the most part h2o proof. Store personnel were very helpful in sizing the pack and I would recommend this pack to anyone looking. The JAW rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This is such as awesome pack. It is my first extended trip type bag, and it will be my last if it continues to put up with all the punishment I throw at it. It is extremely versatile and comfortable at the same time.

Craghoppers NosiLife Short-Sleeved Shirt 3 3
Fits great! While it is true that it was a bit smaller than what I would expect from a Medium shirt, that is exactly what I wanted! It fits me perfectly. The only issue that I saw, but has not yet presented a problem was that one of the shirts seems to have frayed a bit in certain areas after the first wash. However I just trimmed those areas and the shirt still looks great. July 16, 2014
Order 2 sizes bigger. Very disappointing. Both of the Craghoppers shirts I ordered were very very small. The one I returned and reordered as a XXL for the first time ever, resulted in a XXL that was still tight and unwieldy in the shoulders. Worse line of sizing I've ever encountered. Travelsmith should have adjusted the sizing rather than just a fine print warning that states these "runs small, order up 1 size for best fit". I missed that warning when I ordered so it's on me as Caveat Emptor rules. But 1 size more won't get you to "best fit". I didn't even try to return the 2nd item, a Tee shirt. April 4, 2013
I wear size large I ordered extra large - the shoulders are too tight. I should have sent it back! June 23, 2014

With election night less than a week away, we're hearing more and more of this campaign's catch phrase: "the stakes couldn't be higher." Yes, that's true. But context should be added to every mention of that phrase. Yes, it bears repeating ad nauseum; it's that important. Here are the stakes as we see them:
Women's health and reproductive rights. Duh. We all know this has been the hot-button issue this election season. We all need to get to the polls to let our voices be heard on this one. But this student journalist heeds an important reminder that women's health care rights are always relevant—and vulnerable.
Humanity. Hurricane, superstorm, franken-whatever Sandy hit hard. Lives and livelihoods were devastated and the country's biggest, most resilient city was forced to cower in Mother Nature's wake. How President Obama and Mitt Romney responded tells us a little bit about each one's ideals. Authenticity matters, folks.
Voices—All of Them. Gay and transgender Americans are all-but-forgotten in campaign stump speeches, give or take a scripted comment about Don't Ask, Don't Tell or the Defense of Marriage Act. Here are some fantastic essays that lend insight into Voting While Queer and Voting While Trans. One highlight to ponder: is there any reasonable reason that we must list our sex on the ballot?
The economy. A thriving one means more opportunities for equal work for which we can fight for equal pay. There is no one answer to get us back in the black, and, folks, this shit takes time. Each candidate wants a more solvent American economy, but their approaches are very different. Understand that difference.
Women's empowerment around the world. No one has done more to put women's rights, freedoms and economic empowerment on the international stage than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (recap some awesomeness here). She will be leaving the office at the end of President Obama's current term. No matter who wins this election, we must not forget the importance of this work and continuing to protect, support and celebrate women all over the world. Political activism starts with each of us letting our local representatives know where our priorities lie. Get chatty, make change.

Privacy concerns over browser cookies in my system

Privacy concerns over browser cookies in my system
With all the concerns about privacy that have been in the news lately, it
occurred to me that I have literally hundreds of cookies on my desktop and
laptop computers with no way of knowing where they came from, or any idea
what purpose they serve. Is there a program that will list the file names
of the cookies, show the Web sites they originated from, and describe
their function? I suspect I have at least a few I would prefer to get rid
of. Maybe an overall lesson on what browser cookies are, the purpose they
serve, and if they are dangerous or not? Thanks!

There is an intimate and complex relationship between inflammation and cancer; and it is well established that tumors secrete many different chemicals that attract host cells which drive inflammation and help to support tumor growth. Now, a new study published by Cell Press in the June issue of the journal Cancer Cell identifies a single protein that is required for trafficking of immune cells involved in inflammation. The research opens up new avenues for therapeutics that can indirectly suppress malignancy by disrupting the inflammatory response.

Regulatory Madness: We Have a Winner!
It was neck and neck to the end, but Health Care Region dark horse the Essential Health Benefits Package beat out the favorite out of the Financial Region, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Combining FreeEnterprise.com and Facebook voting totals, Essential Health Benefits narrowly defeated what Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue called the "mother of all regulations." CFPB is an agency with power, money, and virtually no accountability, and it gave Essential Health Benefits Package a run for its money.
But Essential Health Benefits Package refused to be counted out or called a Cinderella. Breaking down its performance, this underrated regulation came to play and earned its title as the most maddening of all.
The package requires all plans in the small group and individual markets to cover a uniform essential health benefits package. This is a regulation with a talented bench that had legs to go deep into the game. Why? An expansive regulatory definition of "essential" threatens to limit flexibility and raise costs. Businesses and consumers are already buckling under the weight of health care costs, and this regulation helps ensure that millions would be unable to afford coverage. When the tournament clicked down to the final minutes, it became clear that Essential Health Benefits Package would be cutting down the nets.
Bryan Goettel, expert bracketologist, was shocked by the upset win over CFPB. "When time ran out, I thought CFPB would be the regulation left standing," Goettel said. "It had all the ingredients of a champion: single director, budget with limited oversight, and layers of bureaucracy."
"It goes to show you that you can't overlook a deep bench," said Greg Galdabini, FreeEnterprise.com bracketologist. "I was wary of going with a favorite in this tournament because when you have so many maddening regulations, you just can't count any one out."
*Note: Regulations in the bracket include those being considered, proposed, and final.
National Labor Relations Board's Ambush Election Rule: Shot: The "ambush election" rule would expedite union elections in as few as 10-21 days. Foul: This rule is about making it easier for unions to win elections by cutting off free speech rights of employers to educate employees about the effects of unionization. National Labor Relations Board's Poster Rule: Shot: The poster rule would require businesses to post notices explaining employees' rights to unionize. Foul: This rule violates federal labor and regulatory laws and First Amendment rights—it's a classic case of a governmental agency overstepping its bounds. DOL Persuader Rule: Shot: The "persuader" rule is supposed to provide greater transparency in the union organizing process. Foul: The rule, straight from the labor wish list, would make it virtually impossible for employers to obtain the legal advice they need to safely exercise their statutory rights to express their views during union organizing campaigns. I2P2: Shot: It sounds like an extra from Star Wars, but the I2P2 rule would mandate that all employers "find and fix" workplace hazards, even if they are not currently regulated. Foul: Uncertainty and confusion, not to mention giving OSHA carte blanche to issue citations, are the concerns with this open-ended requirement. The Volcker Rule: Shot: The Volcker Rule would prohibit banks from engaging in long-established financial activities such as proprietary trading, private equity, and hedge fund activities. Foul: Many experts believe that such a rule would inhibit market making activities, resulting in increased costs of raising capital for companies and municipalities, higher bank fees for consumers and businesses, and potentially concentrate risk. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Shot: The CFPB was created to regulate the market for consumer financial products and services. Foul: The CFPB is an unaccountable, solitary federal agency with a $500 million budget led by a single Senate-confirmed director who is unconfined by a traditional system of checks and balances. Derivatives Regulation: Shot: Regulations will force main street businesses to adhere to bank-like regulations such as posting margin on trade. Foul: Companies use derivatives to manage everyday business risk, such as exchange rates across countries. The pending regulations could divert precious working capital from job-creating activities, including R&D and business expansion. Money Market Funds Regulation: Shot: Potential reforms to money market funds, such as imposing capital cushion requirements and new share price valuation rules, would change the fundamental nature of the product. Foul: Money market funds are important to meeting the short-term capital needs of businesses. The potential rules would come on top of enhancements enacted by the SEC in 2010, creating another government mandate that would threaten to wipe out a vital and safe source of business financing. Medical Loss Ratio Shot: The medical loss ratio provision dictates that health insurers spend 80-85% (depending on market size) of premiums on what the government considers health care expenses. Foul: The rule implementing this provision improperly classifies many large mandated expenses as administrative (i.e. not health care), making it nearly impossible for insurers to meet the requirement.
Essential Health Benefits Package
- Shot: The statute requires all plans in the small group and individual markets to cover a uniform essential health benefits package.
- Foul: An expansive regulatory definition of "essential' health benefits will limit flexibility and raise costs, ensuring that millions would be unable to afford coverage.
Summary of Benefits Coverage (SBC) Shot: The SBC provision requires all plans to provide enrollees, applicants, and policy holders a short (no more than four-page), undefined "plain language" summary of benefits and coverage details. Foul: The regulation implementing the SBC language mandates compliance within a near-impossible 7 months and requires the content to be provided in an exceedingly rigid and difficult template. Grandfathered Plan Regulations Shot: The broad "grandfathered plan" provision was enacted to allow people who like their current health care coverage to keep it. Foul: The regulation implementing the broad provision restricts the conditions under which a plan can remain grandfathered, effectively negating the ability of people to keep the plan they had. In fact, the regulation itself estimates as plans make the typical annual changes, up to 70% of plans will lose their grandfathered status by 2013. Utility MACT (Maximum Available Control Technology): Shot: Coal-fired and oil-fired power plants would have to severely limit their emissions of mercury, arsenic, chromium, hydrochloric acid, and several other substances. Foul: With just three years for plants to meet the new standards, there isn't enough time to replace, retrofit, or convert power plants from coal-fired to other sources, which could result in major power grid failures. Coal Ash: Shot: EPA wants to regulate everyday coal ash as a hazardous waste. Foul: Coal ash is recycled and used for a variety of products, including drywall and concrete, but classifying it as hazardous waste would eliminate that possibility. The American Coal Ash Association reported that in 2007, 43% of coal ash found beneficial uses. Cooling Water Intake Structure Rule: Shot: The EPA has proposed that existing power plants and manufacturing facilities undergo a complex assessment of their fish protection standards. Foul: EPA failed to properly estimate costs and to conduct the required jobs impact evaluation, and was thus unable to prove that the proposed rule was the least burdensome regulatory alternative available. Boiler MACT: Shot: Boiler MACT sets emission limits for air pollutants from industrial boilers and process heaters used by a wide range of manufacturers. Foul: The rule would set emission limits at levels that are barely detectable and possibly unachievable. It requires the installation of four different air pollution control devices that conflict with existing control requirements, a costly provision that could result in lost jobs.

I put these on a Specialized Tarmac frame that I built up. Power transfer is instant yet the ride quality won't beat you up. You'll enjoy riding centuries on these. Great wheels if you can't afford thousands of dollars for professional racing wheels but still enjoy riding fast.

For this price range, this is probably the best wheel you are going to be able to buy. Nothing really compares to it unless your budget starts approaching $2000 or more. Put a set of these on any bike to replace the usually under-specced wheels that some stock on most bikes, and that will probably be the biggest improvement you'll ever see short of getting a 100% new bike. Mavic just makes awesome stuff.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
An already tight Senate schedule is going to get a lot busier with the Supreme Court nomination hearings for Elena Kagan.
Finding time to address the nomination isn't going to be easy for the Senate and could come at the expense, literally, of funding your agency before the fiscal year expires, according to Congressional expert Jodi Schneider, Senior Editor in the Washington Bureau of the American Banker.
First of all this has to go through the committee in the Senate, the Judiciary Committee, and then to the Senate floor. Obviously, the House doesn't have a role in this, it's all about the Senate, but the Senate doesn't have a lot of floor time available given that it's a mid-term election year.
Schneider told Federal News Radio to expect the Senate to be gone by the first of October to campaign. "So we're really looking at really a short amount of time - a couple of weeks before the Memorial Day recess. Three weeks then before the July 4th recess and then a really crunched time period of three, four weeks before the August recess. Then they come back, they have a month left."
Schneider doesn't expect the process to get bogged down or stall out because of Republican objections.
I think they (Republicans) realize this is not necessarily an ideological pick. As a matter of fact, some people on the left are saying "well we're not so sure where she stands on some issues" because she doesn't... she has not been a judge before. She does not have a big track record of writing some things. So it may be hard to have much opposition for her given that.
Added into the mix of "must pass" legislation is a $60 billion supplemental appropriation by Memorial Day. It includes funds for warfighting in Afghanistan, replenishing FEMA accounts, and disaster relief for Haiti. Schneider said when and if the bill is taken up by the Senate, it won't be first in line.
First of all, they've been so focused on financial reg reform, that's moving ahead in the Senate, on the Senate floor, but slowly and there's still a lot of pieces of that. That had been viewed as being the big bill besides the appropriations bills to get done before the mid-terms. It doesn't sound like an immigration bill's really going to happen. It doesn't sound like an energy bill's really going to happen, but what's interesting is financial reg reform may be affected by Senate confirmation hearings. Not this round so much, but the House and Senate bills are very different and they're going to have to be reconciled. If the House takes a little bit of time with the financial bill and then it comes back to the Senate at about the same time these confirmation hearings are going on, you could have a crunch. And there have been some folks who have said "well this may be a way for the Republicans to try to delay financial reg reform," saying "Well, God, we just can't get back to it because we're looking at the Supreme Court nominee."
Like most horse races, Schneider said "it could get pretty interesting" and affect appropriations on the way by.
"So it's going to be interesting to watch. A lot to do in a mid-term election year when they're all going to be gone by the beginning of October."
