Pay Less at the Pump with "TomTom Fuel Prices" Service
New TomTom Service Finds the Lowest Gas Prices on the TomTom GO 920 and GO 920T
Concord, MA – January 7, 2008 -Why pay more for gas when you can find a lower-priced option just around the corner? TomTom, the world's largest portable navigation solutions provider, today unveiled TomTom Fuel Prices, a new service that finds the lowest gas prices so travellers can make the best choices for fueling up. TomTom Fuel Prices will be available for TomTom 920 and 920T users in the US starting in Q1 2008.
TomTom Fuel Prices sends real-time pricing updates for US service and gas stations directly to your TomTom 920 or 920T over-the-air*. Subscribers can also receive real-time prices through TomTom HOME, the industry's first software for personal computers that gives access to an increasing range of content and services, allows customers to further personalize their navigation devices, and keeps devices "future proof".
"TomTom Fuel Prices is yet another example of our commitment to innovation, personalization and ease of use," said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom Inc. "We are proud to introduce this valuable service for our 920 and 920T users, as gas prices continue to be top of mind for consumers this year."
Track fuel prices nearby, en route or anywhere in between
From their device, users can select whether to list gas stations by location or price, and can request the lowest gas prices on their route, nearby or within a user-selected mile radius.
Travelers can also choose which type of gas they would like tracked, Regular, Mid-grade, Premium or Diesel. Updated gas prices for that specific type of fuel will be downloaded automatically over-the-air through a Bluetooth phone or when connected to TomTom HOME on a PC or Mac.
The most up-to-date fuel prices
TomTom receives its fuel data from OPIS, the world's most comprehensive source of petroleum pricing, via INRIX Inc., leading provider of traffic information. These companies receive daily feeds through credit card transactions and directly from gas station owners at nearly 120,000 locations.
Pricing and availability
TomTom's Fuel Prices service will be available in Q1 2008 through TomTom HOME for $14.95 per year for TomTom GO 920 and GO 920T users. These users must connect to TomTom HOME to purchase.
* Over-the-air updates are accessible via a compatible Bluetooth phone and a wireless data plan.

Everett film festival selections range far, wide
Associated Press
Florence Lowe "Pancho" Barnes, an early pilot of the same vintage as Amelia Earhart, is the subject of "The Legend of Pancho Barnes," which will be screened at 9:10 tonight.
Associated Press
"Your Sister's Sister," stars (from left) Mark Duplass, Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt, and is set in the Pacific Northwest. It will screen at 3:50 p.m. Saturday.
There are even treats for politically correct senses, such as a movie about plastic bags that points out that plastic was meant to be thrown away, right?
But where is "away"?
Then there are several films for the comic senses.
How about the one with yodeling lesbian twins?
Or a romantic comedy starring Mark Duplass, Emily Blunt and Rosemary DeWitt, set on an island in the Pacific Northwest.
That film, "Your Sister's Sister" was directed by Lynn Shelton, who will answer questions after the film's screening Saturday.
These are just some of the offerings at this year's 16th annual Everett Film Festival that kicks off Friday night with a gala reception with a wine bar and gourmet snacks.
The festival has a variety of shorts and longer films that continue through Saturday night at Everett Performing Arts Center.
There really isn't a theme to this year's festival, said organizer Teresa Henderson, who joked that one of the patrons thought the theme of last year's festival was death.
"The woman asked on her comment card, 'Why would you want the theme of death?' and we weren't even aware of that, we just selected the films because we liked them," Henderson said.
That's pretty much how this year's selection was made as well, the result being "an eclectic mix of films that are interesting and engaging and entertaining," Henderson said.
Highlights of this year's lineup include:
"Top Twins: Untouchable Girls," about Topp twins Lynda and Jools, who as children performed musical acts and now as adults are quite famous in New Zealand and perform around the world.
Henderson described the movie as a lot of fun to watch as the twins take on a variety of different personas in their acts.
The movie "Somewhere Between" follow the lives of four teenage girls adopted from China.
"The kids are pretty well adjusted though all have that same thought in the back of their mind: Why didn't my family keep me?" Henderson said.
For the airplane-loving crowd there's the movie "The Legend of Pancho Barnes," a feature documentary about Florence "Pancho" Barnes, a fearless female flyer and stunt pilot who was a competitor of Amelia Earhart's.
"Bag It" is a film about a regular guy who resolves to stop using plastic bags.
"We are all very well aware of the issue of plastic in our lives and this wakes you up to how much plastic is out there," Henderson said. "It's a heavy subject done in a lighter way."
Other films and shorts touch on topics such as an artist surviving the Holocaust and a lifetime of memories in a wedding gown.
For a full schedule of movies go to www.everettfilmfest.org.
The 16th annual Everett Film Festival starts with a gala at 6 p.m. Friday at Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave., and runs through Saturday .
Tickets are $40 and $25 for the full festival; $20 and $15 for Friday only including the gala and $25 and $15 for Saturday only. Call 425-257-8600 or 888-257-3722 or in person at the box office at go to www.everettfilmfest.org.

migraine headache that runs in families. Migraines usually cause intense, throbbing pain in one area of the head, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. These recurrent headaches typically begin in childhood or adolescence and may last from a few hours to a few days. People with familial hemiplegic migraine experience an aura that comes before the headache. The most common symptoms associated with an aura are temporary visual changes such as blind spots (scotomas), flashing lights, zig-zagging lines, and double vision. In people with familial hemiplegic migraine, auras are also characterized by temporary numbness or weakness, often affecting one side of the body (hemiparesis). An aura typically develops gradually over a few minutes and lasts about an hour. Researchers have identified three forms of familial hemiplegic migraine known as FHM1, FHM2, and FHM3. Each of the three types is caused by mutations in a different gene. [1]Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a form of

Realize that drugs like psilocybin are not addictive and are not drugs of abuse. Compared with the common drugs of abuse, including nicotine and caffeine, it is relatively non-toxic.
I wasn't making any such claims to the contrary about psilocybin. I simply have a strong emotional reaction to anything that can potentially alter my brain chemistry. I do not want to depend on anything outside myself (or anyone) to deal with angst or to achieve contentment, because I do not trust these to be reliable. I fear that I could become emotionally dependent on such things, regardless of any chemically addictive properties. To me these things represent a vulnerability. This isn't a judgment of anyone else, but if I were to use these substances, I would feel like I was evading responsibility for my own equanimity. Anything that would alter my consciousness in any way would feel like vulnerability to me, like I may lose my individuality and personality.

Annual "Dry Night" Set for Friday, April 8th; Public Can Join In on the Fun!
April 8, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at Pfeiffer will sponsor its annual Dry Night on Friday, April 8. Dry Night is an evening of substance-free activities that raises awareness about the negative impact of drinking and alcohol abuse on college campuses, and SAAC would like to invite the Pfeiffer community, as well as the surrounding communities, to attend. Dry Night' also demonstrates Pfeiffer's commitment to community outreach and longstanding mission of service, while benefiting a worthy cause - the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The night's activities will include a Mr. and Mrs. Pfeiffer University pageant, dodge ball, a jello eating contest, pizza, and much more.
The nights festivities will begin at 7pm with the pageant, doors opening at 6:30pm, at the Merner Gymnasium on the Misenheimer campus. Dodge ball, pizza, and other activities will immediately follow the pageant and wrap up prior to 11pm. Donations for entry to the nights events are $5 per person for the Mr. PU pageant and to participate in games, and $8 for pageant, games, t-shirts for the first 150 attendees, and pizza. All proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.
Drinking among college students and other 18-to-24-year-olds has increased since 1998 and contributes to an estimated 1,700 alcohol-related unintentional student deaths per year, according to the latest National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism report. Annually, more than 696,000 students in the same age category are assaulted by another student who was drinking, and more than 97,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assaults.
SAAC hopes to shed light on these serious statistics and situations in an inviting environment by offering an alternative to alcohol use. Over the past three years, Pfeiffers SAAC has fundraised over $5,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and knowing that the average childs wish costs approximately $6,000, SAAC members are dedicated and committed to the continued support of this worthy cause.
For more information about Dry Night and the evenings activities, contact Sarah Hebberd, SAAC Chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Micki Thompson, Assistant Director of Athletics, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (704) 463-3221.

Despite being referred to the ballot by the state legislature and calling for a constitutional amendment, the measure is not binding. Sports betting would not be allowed in the state until a federal law that limits sports betting in four states is repealed or overturned.[1]
If the federal law is overturned then the bill would allow betting on sports events from the amateur to professional level. Wagering would take place at casinos in Atlantic City and state racetracks. Those wishing to place a wager on an event would be able to do so in person, by telephone or on the internet. However, a ban is included on placing bets on college games that take place in the state or where a state college is involved [2].
The measure was sent to the ballot on December 13, 2010, after the state legislature voted in favor referring the measure to the ballot.[3][4]

Text of measure
Ballot language
The official ballot language reads as follows:[5].
"Shall the amendment to Article IV, Section VII, paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, agreed to by the Legislature, providing that it shall be lawful for the Legislature to authorize by law wagering at casinos or gambling houses in Atlantic City and at current or former running and harness horse racetracks on the results of professional, certain college, or amateur sport or athletic events, be approved?"
- Yes
- No
Interpretive statement
The interpretive statement of the measure reads:[6]
- This constitutional amendment would authorize the Legislature to pass laws allowing sports wagering at Atlantic City casinos and at racetracks. Wagers could be placed on professional, certain college, or amateur sport or athletic events. However, wagers could not be placed on college games that take place in New Jersey or in which a New Jersey college team participates regardless of where the game takes place. A wager could be placed at a casino or racetrack either in-person or from any other location through an account wagering system that uses telephone, Internet or other means.
Constitutional changes
The measure would amend Article IV, Section 7, Paragraph 2 of the New Jersey Constitution.[2]
Lawsuit against federal ban
In 1992, the U.S. Congress passed the "Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act." The Act banned sports betting in all states with the exception of those states that already allowed some form of betting when the law was approved. Such states include: Montana, Oregon, Delaware, and Nevada.[7]
In 2009, New Jersey State Senator Raymond Lesniak filed a lawsuit in United States District Court that argued that a 1992 federal ban on sports betting in forty-six states should be deemed unconstitutional. In the lawsuit, Lesniak pointed out that the law treats four states differently than the rest of the country. The ban placed an exemption for New Jersey, which was allowed to decide if it wanted sports betting, but the Garden State failed to pass a law that would have enacted this, which effectively killed the exemption.
U.S. District Court Judge Garret Brown dismissed the lawsuit during the week of March 7, 2011, stating that voters have not weighed in on the issue.[8]
In a statement made by Lesniak about both the ruling and the 2011 ballot measure, the state senator claimed: "...in [the judges] decision to dismiss, he left the door open for future efforts to overturn the unconstitutional ban in the courts. If voters in the Garden State approve a referendum...we will essentially set up a constitutional crisis, in which the will of the people, expressed at the ballot box, will come into conflict with a flawed and ultimately unconstitutional federal law. I believe that when that happens, the courts will have to rule in our favor."[8]
The U.S. Department of Justice opposed the lawsuit, stating their disagreement to repeal the federal ban, also known as the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.
Supporters of the proposed measure include various lawmakers, the Casino Association of New Jersey, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., American Wagering Inc. and the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
In response to the fact the measure is an advisory measure until the federal law is overturned. Robert Griffin, president of the association and CEO of Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., said, "This November referendum, if passed, would provide an important step in the continuing process towards overturning the federal sports betting ban. If the referendum is passed and if the federal ban is subsequently overturned, legal sports betting would provide an economic boost for Atlantic City and the entire state of New Jersey."[7]
Sen. Raymond Lesniak said, "It's just so wrong that the federal government allows sports betting to take place in Nevada and not in New Jersey. During Super Bowl week and Final Four week, you can't get a room in Las Vegas--and Atlantic City is barren. We need that tourism. We need that revenue."[9] Despite the federal law, Lesniak has vowed to introduce legislation should the measure be approved by voters on November 8, 2011.[10]

- Sen. Raymond Lesniak
- Sen. Jeff Van Drew
- State Assemblywoman Concetta Wagner
- Sen. Robert Gordon[11]
- Oceanport's mayor and council
- Gov. Chris Christie
- According to State Senator Raymond Lesniak, who introduced the proposal, "It's putting us in a position to take advantage of a change in the law. So next Super Bowl next year, we'll be able to bet, just like people in Nevada can." According to the bill's co-sponsor, State Senator Jeff Van Drew, "New Jersey dropped the ball once when it came to legalizing sports betting. Now is our chance to get it right. Pennsylvania's slot parlors are already out-hauling our own casinos, and without new ways to draw bettors to Atlantic City, its competitive edge will dull."[12][3]
- Senator Raymond Lesniak has been a supporter of allowing sports betting into New Jersey to allow struggling casinos in Atlantic City to expand their revenues. Lesniak filed a lawsuit in 2009 to overturn a 1992 law banning sports betting in 46 states and Washington, D.C.[4].
- State Assemblywoman Concetta Wagner supported the idea of the amendment, stating, "Sports betting already exists in New Jersey, but only the criminals are enjoying the profits. Sports fans put billions of dollars on the line every year, regardless of its legality. A legal Atlantic City and race track-based sports book would ensure bettors are not fleeced or put in harm's way."[4]
- Casino Association of New Jersey, the trade group of the state's casino operators, stated support of the measure. According to group president Bob Griffin: "Legalized sports betting will attract more tourists to visit our city and enjoy our world-class entertainment, thriving restaurant industry, brand-name retail shopping and famous Boardwalk. Sports betting will allow Atlantic City to better compete, grow and reinvest in the region."[13]
- Oceanport's mayor and council approved a resolution in support of Public Question 1. The resolution said in part, "NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor & Council of the Borough of Oceanport that they support a constitutional amendment, "authorizing the legislature by law to allow wagering on sports events at Atlantic City casinos and at horse racetracks"; and urge residents to do the same when voting on November 8, 2011..."[14]
- Gov. Chris Christie said on November 2 that sports betting should not be limited to a few states. "The fact is now gaming is everywhere in many states across the country, so there's no reason why sports gaming in my view should be restricted," he said. Christie also agreed to work with Sen. Lesniak to try to implement sports betting in the state.[15] In September 2011, Christie reportedly said that it was pointless to pursue sports betting in light of the existing federal ban.[11]
According to the state campaign finance database, there are no registered committees (PACs).

- Harrah's Entertainment, the well known casino company opposed the amendment calling the referendum vote "premature" without changing federal laws allowing the expansion of sports betting. Harrah's cited that Montana, Oregon, Delaware, and Nevada only allow sports betting under a 1992 federal law banning sports wagering in 46 states and the District of Columbia[4].
- The National Football League (NFL) has traditionally opposed the expansion of sports betting beyond Nevada. In response to the New Jersey measure NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said that the league has a "long-held, unwavering opposition to gambling on NFL games."[11]
According to the state campaign finance database, there are no registered committees (PACs).

Media editorial positions
- The Asbury Park Press said, "If it ever happens, legalized sports betting in New Jersey could end up being too little, too late for Atlantic City's struggling casinos and racetracks. Nonetheless, we think that sports betting should come to Atlantic City because, frankly, it's practical and it might help lure visitors and preserve jobs — something that's of utmost importance for New Jersey's economy. The issue will be the only statewide public question on the Nov. 8 election ballot. We strongly support its passage."[16]
- The Press of Atlantic City said, "So let's go for it. We certainly have no moral qualms about sports betting, considering how widespread it already is, legally and illegally. Interestingly, this time around, the professional sports leagues don't seem to be lobbying against the measure."[17]
- The Times of Trenton said, "Illegal sports betting is estimated to generate about $400 billion a year; some put the figure at closer to half a trillion dollars. New Jersey, like every other state, is virtually powerless to stop the illegal transactions. Why not, then, legally establish sports wagering in a way that benefits the state with a new source of tax revenue? That's the question voters will have to answer Nov. 8. We believe the right response is yes."[18]
- The Star-Ledger said, "Still, there's no reason New Jersey shouldn't try to get a slice of the action. Face it: The state needs the money and casinos need this lifeline...In the end, passage would be moot unless a federal law limiting sports betting to four states is lifted. But voters should vote yes."[19]
- The Gloucester County Times said, "If the only statewide question on Tuesday's ballot were straightforward in its wording, and didn't hide its practical, immediate effect, we'd recommend a "yes" vote...As we've stated before, the ban is discriminatory....Nonetheless, there are less-convoluted ways to fight the ban, including working with our congressional delegation to repeal it. The safer bet on Tuesday is to vote "no," even if you're among the majority of state voters whom polls say want to allow this kind of wagering."[20]
- The Inquirer said, "Sports betting is a bad bet for New Jersey. It already relies too heavily on gambling in a market saturated with wagering opportunities. Making sports betting legal would also make it easier to breed more compulsive gamblers. Sports have already been plagued by illegal betting scandals that raise questions about the integrity of games. New Jerseyans should vote NO."[21]
- The Record said, "We have not seen any organized campaigns in support of either side. No matter how much or how little publicity the question is generating, the proposal is a bad idea and should be defeated."[22]

- A poll released during mid-April 2011 by Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind found that 53 percent of respondents supported sports betting in the state, while 30 percent opposed. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.[23]
- A poll released on October 10, 2011 by Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind found that 52 percent support legalizing gambling, while 31 percent are opposed. The poll surveyed 800 registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.[24]
- Additionally, pollsters said that 70 percent of voters said they had to yet to hear information related to the proposal and 67 percent said they had little interest in the issue.[25]
- A October 6-9 poll by Rutgers-Eagleton Poll revealed that 58 percent of polled registered voters are in favor of Public Question 1, while 31 percent are opposed and 12 percent were undecided. The poll surveyed 903 adults, including a sample of 821 registered voters and 603 likely voters. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 4.0 percentage points.[26][27]

Path to the ballot
- See also: Amending the New Jersey Constitution
In New Jersey, the state legislature must approve a proposed amendment by a supermajority vote of 60% but the same amendment can also qualify for the ballot if successive sessions of the New Jersey State Legislature approve it by a simple majority. Four states (Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) have an either/or system: a proposed amendment must be passed by simple majority in two separate legislative sessions, or by a supermajority vote of one session.[28]
|Gambling on the ballot in 2011
Senate vote
The Senate version of the amendment was approved unanimously by the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee by a 4-0 vote on February 8, 2010. A public hearing on SCR 49 was held on April 5, 2010 in Atlantic City, New Jersey[29] [30][31]
There were two floor votes scheduled in the Legislature, but were postponed. The first floor vote was scheduled for May 20, 2010, but was put on hold in anticipation of New Jersey winning the rights to host Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. Due to Harrah's expressing objection to the sports betting amendment, a Senate floor vote was put on hold until June 21, 2010. The Assembly version of the amendment was approved in committee on June 17, 2010. The amendment did not qualify for the November 2010 ballot as the Legislature did not schedule a vote before August 2, 2010, the deadline to qualify a constitutional amendment.[32] [33][34][35][36].
2011 attempt
New Jersey lawmakers are now letting state voters decide whether or not to legalize sports betting in the state, as they voted in favor of sending the proposed constitutional amendment to the November 2011 ballot on December 13, 2010.[4]
The following is a timeline of events surrounding the measure:

Palestinian shot dead by Israeli fire on Gaza border
A Palestinian was killed and nine others were injured Friday by Israeli army fire along the border with the Gaza Strip, an official said, in the first violence since the truce concluded between Israel and Gaza two days ago.
The shooting was an isolated incident and should not undermine the cease-fire brokered by Egypt, after eight days of fighting, the bloodiest period in four years between Hamas and Israel. Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh urged Hamas fighters to respect the cease-fire.
The man killed Friday belonged to a group of people who had approached the border with Israel to pick up debris from an Israeli army jeep damaged during the fighting, according to health official Adnan Abu Salmia. The soldiers opened fire, killing one man and wounding nine others, according to the same source.
Citing a preliminary investigation, the Israeli army said there had been several isolated attempts of infiltration into Israel from Gaza and warning shots were fired into the air when a group approached.
Meanwhile, in Cairo, further discussions under the auspices of Egypt should focus on the next step of the cease-fire, including a new agreement on the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip since Hamas came to power in 2007. Hamas has requested a waiver of the restrictions at the border while Israel insists that Hamas must stop the smuggling of weapons into the Palestinian territory.

Over the last 5 years, Maptech has produced 3 basic models of its Navigation Computer, branded as "Sea Ray Navigator" or "i3 Touch Screen Command." Here is a breakdown of the "Type" of computer, based upon serial number.
Type I
Type I Navigation Computers are only branded under "Sea Ray Navigator." They are available as 10" and 12" displays. They can easily be identified by the orange message: "It will take up to 90 seconds to start" that appears during the power up process (as opposed to a Maptech logo that appears on a Type II or Model 300.)
Type I serial numbers appear as:
SRN.10.x.nnn (for 10" displays)
SRN.12.x.nnn (for 12" displays)
If x is less than 6, it indicates a very early model of the computer.
Type II
Type II Navigation Computers are branded under both Sea Ray Navigator and i3 Touch Screen Command. They are only available in 12" displays.
Type II serial numbers appear as:
SRN.12.21.nnn (for Sea Ray Navigators)
OEM.12.31.nnn (for i3 Touch Screen Commands)

After two years of engineering work and rigorous testing, the all new Turbine rings are ready to ride. Completely redesigned from the ground up, these rings shift like nothing else. As with previous chainrings, the Turbine rings are made in Canada from 7075 aluminum, so they are built to last.

Comments about Race Face Turbine 10 Speed Chainring Set:
Got the 24/36t set of chainrings to replace my stock 28/38t set. Running on an SRAM Truvativ crank for a Framed MN 3.0 Fatbike. Really nice having an extra low gear. Also shift much better than stock.

Comments about Race Face Turbine 10 Speed Chainring Set:
Unless you know from others that they will fit your bike you may have to try it. Taking off only one star because they may work just fine on your bike geometry/cranks as many report.
I got the double 36/24T. The rings are high quality and also look good. They come with 4 sets of bolt, nut, spacer. The adaptors install in the place where bash guard or the big/outer chainring will go on a triple. The rings are very light and have extensive machined profiles to help with shifting. Both are high strength 7075 aluminum. The bolts/nuts/spacers are aluminum, black.
I got these rings to convert my 2014 DiamondBack Mason Comp to 2x10 for better climbing, trying to make the bike the one quiver bike.
The Mason and Mason Comp both come with Race Face Ride cranks and Race Face's RACE XT X-Type bottom bracket but with a Race Face single Narrow/Wide chainring - an All Mountain 1x10 setup. The BB shell on the bike is 73mm (72.6 measured on the bike). The bike accepts a D-type (braze-on) or an E-type front derailleur. I only tried the braze-on/direct mount type a Shimano SLX FD-M676-D.
Race Face does say that the cranks are 2 or 3 speed compatible. The chanirings are obviously to be installed on the middle and inner position (64/104BCD) on the crank's spider. BTW these cranks unlike the Respond do not need a granny spider (it is built in non detachable).
These chainrings do not work on my bike. With the above parts the chainline is 2 - 2.5 mm too small making the chain rub on the inner derailleur cage. There is one 2.5mm spacer used in the driver side in this configuration (73mm). Adding one more spacer is not possible (I've tried) as the spindle is too short to accommodate it (you cannot turn the pedals).
I went out and shelled $160 for a Shimano SLX FC-M675 crankset - the thing that I was trying to avoid by getting these rings. The SLX works just fine. They are double in price compared to the Ride cranks but that is beyond the point here, the Race Face should have worked to. The clear advantage on the Shimano is that the crank is fixed to the spindle in the driver side while the Race Face is using an octalink couple in the driver side creating opportunity for the fabrication variations to mess the chainline.
BTW As weight goes the SLX are only 20g lighter compared to the Ride + Turbine rings (measured including BB, spacers, etc.). People report that the Ride cranks are not as stiff but I have little to no time riding on these to tell. In my book the above diffs do not justify going with SLX at more than double the price. But they do fit my bike.

Comments about Race Face Turbine 10 Speed Chainring Set:
Nice set of chainrings .I wanted red for the bling and it only came with a set of three rings,I didn't need the granny. I have a 2x10 setup on my specialized rockhopper.So I'll hang the granny on my rearview mirror. They bolted up to my sram crankset with ease

Comments about Race Face Turbine 10 Speed Chainring Set:
I swapped out my Shamino XT chain rings for these Race Face gears on my Yeti SB-66, going from a 3-10 to a 2-10 and I couldnt be happier. As soon as i shift they catch and go. By far the best chain rings I own. Great for AM riding.

A tragedy recently struck
But what if a similar incident were to happen during training aboard the base? Would local responders be prepared? Properly trained?
Military and civilian officials say yes.
"In the event of a mortar explosion, a number of events would happen simultaneously," said Nat Fahy, the public affairs deputy for Marine Corps Installations East. "Immediately the unit corpsmen on-site would have the responsibility of treating and triaging affected patients until base emergency responders arrived to assist with follow-on treatment and evacuation."
With 10 fire stations across
There is a standing agreement allowing local city and county emergency response teams to augment base personnel. If an event like the training explosion in
In the event of a mass casualty, the base would activate its
"The crisis response team's primary purpose is to help coordinate the casualty response effort and its immediate aftermath," Fahy said. "The effort might entail helping manage the incident, providing support to the affected command, drafting personnel casualty reports to trigger the casualty notification process, coordinating a reception center to assist family members and communicating with the media."
Lastly, the base would launch a safety investigation to determine what causal factors might have triggered the explosion.
Safe and thorough care
For the

"We regularly test our responses to mass casualty events by drilling and reviewing our standard operating procedures so we know exactly what to do and where our resources are," Hancock said. "That's how we save lives. Our goal during any mass casualty event would be to save lives, and like any other patient care scenario, we ensure we provide safe and thorough health care."
If a mass casualty were to occur aboard
"Our medical staff is amongst the most highly qualified in the military community, the majority with combat medicine experience, so they are well-trained to respond to sudden mass casualty events where there are varying degrees of injury," said Hancock.

"We have the capability of responding with a mass casualty incident trailer that is specifically equipped for a mass casualty incident," Himes said. "We also have a rehabilitation trailer and a state Medical Assistance trailer designed for mass decontamination. Our employees are educated on the National Incident Management System and must complete incident command training."
Available units would respond while still maintaining enough units to continue handling 911 calls in the county, Himes said.

"We constantly reeducate and operate under an all-hazards plan, which is built in to cover multiple different scenarios that may present in the hospital," Byrum said. "Just like every other facility we have disaster plans set in place. If (a mass casualty) presents to our emergency department, we can transport patients expeditiously if need be. We also have overflow plans which allow us to move into our ambulatory surgery area if overflow is needed."
Onslow Memorial generally treats mass casualties each year, ranging from car accidents to fires, Byrum said.
"We typically have multiple incidents per year — three to four times per year — so we are testing ourselves with what comes into the hospital," Byrum said. "We also have additional training and re-education within the hospital quite frequently. We also participate once a year with the county to practice mass casualty incident."
In the event a trauma cannot be treated at Onslow Memorial, Byrum said that there are transfer agreements in place with surrounding hospitals.
"Anything that is a major trauma can be relocated to the nearest or quickest medical facility," said Byrum

Estelle Ellis, Marketing to Teens and Working Women, about 1950
Promotion manager and marketer, Estelle Ellis made teenage girls and working women visible as markets in the postwar period. Working for Seventeen and, later, Charm magazines, she turned raw survey and census data into powerful, visual arguments for why advertisers, retailers and manufacturers should tailor their messages, merchandise, and services to teenagers and the "19 million women" who held jobs outside the home.
Teena, a fictional teenager with a bankbook in her mouth and arms full of consumer goods, made the case that young women between the ages of 14 and 17 had spending power. Charm Magazine reader surveys resulted in "picture-fact" reports that coupled compelling images of average women with statistical data to put a face on working women for advertisers and retailers. Despite the pioneering nature of Ellis's work, women in these surveys were almost exclusively white and middle-class. African American publishers and advertisers would challenge this narrow imagining of the consumer market in the 1950s and 1960s.
