Learning boo if you are familiar with Python
It might come as no surprise to anyone but I'd better state it here anyway: boo is not python.
It looks a lot like python and there's a reason for that: we love python! Specially The dirty hungarian phrasebook
General Tips
Learn about .NET & Mono
The .NET Framework (Windows) or Mono (Linux,Windows,Mac) is required to run or compile boo programs.
.NET Assemblies
Instead of using the python standard library and python modules, you will be using compiled assemblies. You have access to the standard class library that is included with .NET and Mono. There are many 3rd party .NET libraries available as well. See the General Help page for a list of some, as well as pointers to more .NET information.
GUI Toolkits
For GUI programming the two predominant options are System.Windows.Forms and GTK#. See the General Help page for links to tutorials for learning how to use those GUI toolkits.
General things in common with Python
Syntax-wise, boo is very similar to python. Like python, you indent code blocks instead of using curly braces {}. Methods look like python methods (except for the optional static type declarations):
|Code Block
def mymethod(s as string): print s.ToUpper() mymethod("a sample string")
See the Language Guide for info on lists, dictionaries, classes, for loops, generators, list comprehensions, etc.
Boo also has an Interactive Interpreter like Python.
Duck Typing vs. Static Typing
This is the major functional difference between boo and python (other than the fact that boo runs on .NET and Mono).
See Duck Typing for a more in-depth explanation. In Python, everything is duck typed implicitly. Type-specific operations are not resolved until run-time. In boo, everything is implicitly static typed at compile time. You often do not have to explicitly declare the type, due to boo's Type Inference mechanism. For example, you can still simply state "x = 4" instead of having to state "x as int = 4".
You can however specify that an object is to be duck typed by explicitly declaring its type as "duck". Also, boo now has an option that turns on implicit duck typing by default, which makes coding in boo much more like python. Again, see Duck Typing for more info.
Specific Differences Between Python & Boo
Print can be called as a function or as a statement:
|Code Block
print("is now a function") print "and a macro statement" #or you can use System.Console.WriteLine("...")
See Syntactic Macros for other useful macro statements in boo such as assert, debug, using, lock, with, and performTransaction.
Embedding variables in a string
Use a $ sign followed by the variable name or $ sign followed by the expression enclosed in parentheses:
|Code Block
"first letter is: $firstLetter" "x + y = $(x + y)"
You can triple quote strings too just like python.
See String Operations for more info.
Importing automatically puts everything into the namespace, just like C#. So when you import an assembly, it is like saying "from MyLibrary import *" in Python.
|Code Block
import MyLibrary print Version #same as print MyLibrary.Version
If you import two or more libraries that have the same named item, the compiler will tell you, and you can use the fully qualified name ("MyLibrary.Version" instead of just "Version").
Boo supports Python-style commenting, but also C++ commenting:
|Code Block
#commented line //commented line /* multiple lines commented out */
Lists, Arrays, Slicing, Generators
You can do all the same list operations, list comprehensions, slicing, and generators as in python. Instead of tuples however, there are C-like arrays - fixed length and of a particular type.
See Lists And Arrays, Slicing, and Generators for more information.
Dictionaries / Hashtables
In boo, {} is a Boo.Lang.Hash class, which subclasses System.Collections.Hashtable, but it works similar to Python dictionaries.
See Hashtables.
No "self" required!
In Python, you use "self" to signify instance variables and instance methods of classes:
|Code Block
self.x def mymethod(self):
In boo, you can just use:
|Code Block
x or self.x def mymethod():
You do not need to declare "self" as the first parameter of an instance method of a class. And you can still use "self.x" but the self is optional. In boo, "self" basically means the same as "this" in C#.
_init, __del_ (Constructors & Destructors)
Instead of _init_(self), define a method named "constructor()" in your class. "destructor()" is used for destructors.
Main & argv (command line arguments)
Instead of if name == _main_:
"argv" is passed to your script as an array of strings. See examples/download.boo, or you can call Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().
Note though, the "main" (or global) part of your script that is executed when run has to be at the bottom of the script, below any import statements, classes, or def functions. See Structure of a Boo Script.
Documentation strings
In Boo, docstrings must start at the same indentation level as the class/method/function/callable definition, and you must use triple quoted strings:
|Code Block
class MyClass: """ MyClass' docstring """ def foo(): """ foo's docstring """ pass
There is an advantage to doing it this way. In Boo, we can use docstrings for anything, including properties, fields, namespaces, and modules, as well as classes and functions. See tests/testcases/parser/docstrings_1.boo for a more complete example.
We can convert these docstrings into an XML format which the NDoc tool can then use to generate nicely formatted HTML documentation for your code. Or you can try the Monodoc approach instead. You pass it your compiled exe or dll, and write your user documentation externally and separately from your code. This lets you focus on making your code as simple and readable as possible, and not over-cluttering it with docstrings.
true and false
Booleans true and false are not capitalized like in Python. They are lowercase like in C#, javascript, java, and other languages.
char vs. string
In Python, there really is no special "char" type, like in .NET. You just use strings with a single character, like 't'.
Since Boo utilizes the .NET Class Library and is statically typed, it needs that distinction, however. char('t') refers to a System.Char type, whereas "t" or 't' is a System.String.
Static vs. Instance fields and methods
In Python, you might refer to a static field shared by all class instances using notation like "MyClass.y". It is the same in boo.
To create a static field or method like this that is shared by all class instances, use the static keyword: "static public y" or "static def mymethod():".
NOTE Any fields or constants you declare in a class are by default "protected" and not accessible from outside the class (methods or properties are by default public). Add a "public" modifier in front of the field to make it accessible, or else create a property instead (with a getter and setter, see example in later section).
Named parameters, Assignment Expressions, Set Properties via Constructor
Boo doesn't support named parameters. It does however support setting properties via the call to the constructor of a class.
For example this code:
|Code Block
pt = Point(X:100, Y:200)
is essentially the same as this:
|Code Block
pt = Point() pt.X = 100 pt.Y = 100
Thus X and Y must refer to public fields or properties, not private or protected fields. You can also see see why the constructor in the Point class doesn't need to handle the X and Y parameters itself. In fact your Point class doesn't even need a constructor. If your class doesn't have a constructor, Boo will generate it for you.
Why a colon ( instead of an equal sign (=)? Because in boo assignments (like x=100) are expressions that are evaluated, not just statements like in python. If you pass "x=100" to a method, for example, it will essentially pass the value 100, after assigning 100 to the variable x.
Boo supports handling a variable number of parameters using the same syntax as python (*params).
_str_ (String representation)
Instead of _str_ or _repr_, define a ToString() method in your class.
Overloading operators: _add, __mult_
See Operator overloading.
_call_ (Callable)
In Python, you might override the _call_ method in a class to make it callable.
In boo, check out options like Callable Types, the ICallable interface, Events, and anonymous Closures.
__ (double underscore for private variables)
Use the private modifier: "private x as int"
Properties (with Getter, Setter)
Instead of x = property(getter,setter)
use syntax like the below:
|Code Block
class MyClass: _fld = 3 MyProperty as int: get: return _fld set: _fld = value
or you quickly create a property with the default getter and setter like so:
|Code Block
import System.Drawing class MyClass: [Property(Font)] _font as System.Drawing.Font
See the .NET docs on properties for more info.
Instead of
|Code Block
@decorator def mymethod():
boo has attributes (see .NET's docs on attributes).
|Code Block
[attribute] def mymethod():
_name, __class, __file_
See the .NET documentation under System.Reflection on Types and GetType. You can inspect a class for example like this:
|Code Block
y = MyClass() print y.GetType().Name for m in y.GetType().GetMembers(): print(m) //or m.Name for just the short name
Instead of _file_, there are related options like:
|Code Block
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location //or System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
Pickle (saving and loading objects)
See XML Serialization, especially the bottom example showing how to save and load a dictionary/hashtable.
Things in Python But Not Boo
Importing and dynamic importing (_import_) of other python files
Not available in boo, but see examples/pipeline/AutoImport. You can only import compiled assemblies. The autoimport example compiles the other boo script to an assembly and then imports it.
Note: To combine multiple boo scripts into one boo application, instead of importing one script from another script like in python, you would pass all your boo scripts to the compiler (booc) at the same time. See How To Compile boo scripts.
When creating more complex applications in boo that require multiple scripts, I recommend using the SharpDevelop IDE with the boo add-in on Windows, or else Nant, a .NET build tool similar to java's ant. On Linux, there is now a boo add-in for the MonoDevelop IDE.
Dynamically modify class methods on the fly after creation
The default classes in boo are statically typed. You cannot change or add methods to a class instance at runtime.
But using duck typing there are ways to simulate the dynamic behavior of python classes. See the examples below, especially the 2nd and 3rd ones.
- basic duck type example
- Python-like class using IQuackFu
- Dynamic XML object example using IQuackFu
- Dynamic Inheritance - fun with IQuackFu
- System.Remoting, an alternative to IQuackFu in some cases: RealProxy example
Things in Boo but Not Python
- quickly compile boo script to standalone cross-platform exe
- easy super(), and constructor automatically calls super() for you. If you don't have a constructor, one is created for you.
- set class properties via the constructor (constructor doesn't have to handle them explicitly):
Code Block
x = MyClass(Property1:"value1", Property2:"value2")
- Anonymous Closures - including multi-line closures:
Code Block
b = Button(Text:"Press Me") b.Click += def(): MessageBox.Show("you clicked me")
- Events, Callable Types
- unless statement: print "good job" unless score < 75
- built-in support for Regular Expressions
- timespan literals (example: t = 10ms)
- extensible compiler pipeline
- custom Syntactic Macros
since boo is statically typed, you get:
- static typing: "x as int" but you can just say "x" (x is an object)
- Interfaces, Enums
- private,public,protected,final,etc. variables & methods
- speed increases - without having to convert your code to a different language like C
- easier interoperability since boo uses standard CLI types (e.g. string is System.String, int is a System.Int32...)
- convert C# and VB.NET to boo code (part of the Boo AddIn For SharpDevelop)
other C#/.NET features you get:
- "lock" (like java's synchronized). See the lock* examples under tests/testcases/semantics/.
- property getters and setters
- using: (automatically disposes of object when you are done using it)
Code Block
//in this example you can also use the simpler // "for line in StreamReader("filename"):" using f = System.IO.StreamReader('using0.boo'): while line = f.ReadLine(): print line
- parameter checking
Code Block
def foo([required(value > 3)] value as int): pass
- [attributes] for functions, fields, classes...
- asynchronous execution, see Asynchronous Design Pattern.
- XML Serialization

Hyundai intends to put its fuel-cell Tucson into what its executives call, oxymoronically, "small-scale mass-production." By 2015 Hyundai says total production will have reached 1000 units, mostly for Europe. The company's European boss says it could be "up to 10,000 units a year after 2015, mostly for California and Europe, provided the market and infrastructure are up to it."The crossover, which will be a lease-only vehicle for selected fleets up to 2015, will be built down the regular Tucson assembly line in Ulsan, Korea. After that it will be made available for private buyers to purchase, at a projected €40,000 ($52,000), although cars are more expensive in general in Europe than the U.S. so Californian buyers would potentially see a lower price.The modified Hyundai Tucson has a 10

A law could soon be past in the Canadian Province of Alberta (probably the "bible belt of Canada") that would protect the right of parents to pull their children from classes in school that address the Theory of Evolution or homosexuality.
The governing Conservative majority claim that this protects a fundamental right of parents.
Sad day in Canada if this passes.

France's Celine Dumerc has been voted as FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year for 2012.
The guard was the clear-cut winner, easily winning the fan and expert voting polls, seeing off Eva Viteckova of the Czech Republic and Russia's Becky Hammon.
Dumerc was already renowned as one of the best guards in Europe prior to 2012, but by the time 2013 rolled around, Dumerc had established herself as the queen of the backcourt.
Dumerc was making the correct plays in London during the summer, averaging a team-high 14.2 points a night as the French blazed a trail to the Olympic gold medal game where they were finally halted by USA.
The performance could not have come at a better time for France and Dumerc, who are now amongst the frontrunners to win EuroBasket Women, which is taking place on their doorstep later this year.
"In London, Dumerc showed her maturity in assuring her country would be the best finishing of the European teams at the Olympics. Having seen her performances there, it is of little surprise to see the fans and experts agreeing that she deserves this award," said FIBA Europe President Olafur Rafnsson.
"It was a great year for Celine at both domestic and international level. I believe we will see similar performances from her this summer when her country hosts the EuroBasket Women tournament," said FIBA Europe Secretary General Kamil Novak.
Monday's announcement comes on the back of last week's news that Jonas Valanciunas took out FIBA Europe Young Men's Player of the Year for a second consecutive year and Ukraine's Alina Iagupova won Young Women's Player of the Year. Men's Player of the Year will be known on Tuesday.
FIBA Europe will announce in due course when and where the awards will be presented.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
This has brought tears to my eyes and hurts my heart how people can do such a thing...
He is so adorable! God bless him! Hope he gets better SOON.
I am always dumbfounded how people call dogs cats and all pets animals.....l think many humans fall into that catgory....maybe something to think about. I have four male pit bull reescues, cats as well as a parrot rescue, sad sad stories all over. The poor pits get the brunt of everyones mistreatment and the bad rap from people being animals. lots of love and prays for baby Joey....hopefully he recovers fully with a beautifully loving family and the creature that hurt him oneday (soon) is brought to justice and justice is not blind that day!!!!! Pray for karma that brave forgiving little boy can use some!!!! TAILS WAGS AND MILKBONES KISSES JOEY....AND SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR YOU LITTLE GUY
Hate to read things like this is VERY DEPRESING ! We can only do so much. And discussing people like this one always will be. Let's just hope Joey finds a great home that he deserves. And to the horrible guy, gal who did this. Hope they catch him, her and pay the consequences!!!!!!!!! Big time!
animal lover,
Someone asked why a person would do such a thing. There are IGNORANT/MEAN PEOPLE in this world and you cannot change them. They have been raised by IGNORANT/MEAN PEOPLE and it keeps going down the line. They would never have an intelligent thought in their brains to 'just take the dog to a shelter and tell the shelter they just can't take care of the dog.' What is so sad is that you just can't change people. They either have compassion in them, or they don't. What is even sadder, they would do the same thing to a child, and probably are abusing their children if they have any.
Joey you are in our prayers. Thank You ASPCA for all the help to all needy animals, this is why I donate on a monthly basis.....You are all Angels in my eyes.
My prayers are with Joey at this difficult time. Please let me know when he is ready for adoption, cause I am interested!!
Hang in there, Sweetie dog!!
makes you wonder who the animals really ARE doesnt it
hang in there baby we are al pulling for you and sending you our love and prayers.
Howard Stern and his wife Beth do wonderful work with the North Shore Animal League in NY. Maybe he can share this story on his show for some leads to who may have done such a horrific thing.

I have heard lots of anecdotal evidence that using VSS is a horrible idea because sooner or later, it will just lose/corrupt/delete all of your work. (I am even guilty of using such evidence as one of the motivating factors to switch to SVN a while back). However, though I really prefer Update/Commit to Checkout/Checkin, it is horrible over SVN and there isn't good branching support, I have never actually had a catastrophic VSS experience.
Has VSS ever ruined your project/job/sanity? Old version or new? Is there truth behind the stories?

Archbishop Murphy claws its way back
The Wildcats rally in second half to reach title game of their tournament
And when the Wildcats suffered through a prolonged second-quarter drought -- Archbishop Murphy was outscored 15-1 by Washington in a stretch of nearly five minutes -- he was even more unsure.
But after a first half of spurts and lulls, the Wildcats rallied in the second half with two strong, steady quarters to overtake and defeat the Patriots 60-54 in a semifinal game of the Archbishop Murphy Christmas Tournament.
"This was our first time playing in a tournament with these kids, so I didn't know how they were going to respond," Williams said. "I hope they're ready to try to bring home a championship, but you just never know with these young kids.
"But I'm so proud of the way they responded to the challenge of playing a team like Washington," he said. "(The Patriots) come from a tough 2A league (near Tacoma) and they're battle tested. Our kids have never been exposed to that kind of style of play, so I was really proud of how they responded to (Washington's) size, physicality and to the speed of the game."
Archbishop Murphy started slowly, missing its first six shots from the field and spotting the Patriots to an early 6-0 lead. But the Wildcats finally got untracked and pushed out to a 27-17 lead early in the second quarter.
At which point the wheels came off.
Facing a 10-point deficit, Washington ran off five straight points before Archbishop Murphy broke the string with a free throw. The Patriots then scored another 10 unanswered points for a 32-28 lead.
"Part of being a young team is that we kind of lose focus and become undisciplined at times," Williams said. "But it's a credit to our kids, they recognize that.
"Young teams can sometimes hang their heads a little bit after a run like that, but they came in (at halftime) and refocused and regrouped. We made some adjustments and in the second half they showed (good) execution down the stretch," he said.
The Wildcats, who trailed 32-31 at halftime, finally went in front to stay early in the third period. The lead reached a high of 11 points, 55-44, on a 3-point shot by Brantle Harris with just over five minutes left in the game, though Washington managed to whittle the margin down to six points at the final horn.
Friday's victory moves the Wildcats into tonight's tournament championship game where they can expect another stiff challenge. Archbishop Murphy will face Shorewood, a likely contender in the Western Conference 3A South and a team led by Washington State University-bound Josh Hawkinson, a 6-foot-9 senior center.
"It's not going to get any easier," Williams said of the showdown with Shorewood. "It's going to take a collective effort from all of us. We're so undersized against their 6-9 (Hawkinson) and 6-8 (Sam Boone), and they also have some good shooters.
"So it's going to be a huge challenge for us. But once again, I'm really proud of how my players step up to challenges here. So we're looking forward to that."
Harris, a 6-2 sophomore guard, was high for Archbishop Murphy with 22 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Senior guard Phil Hoban and freshman guard Josh Parafina each chipped in 10 points.
At Archbishop Murphy H.S.
Arch. Murphy 21 10 14 15 -- 60
Washington 15 17 9 13 -- 54
Archbishop Murphy -- Zander Clouse 4, Phil Hoban 10, Connor Sand 0, Brantle Harris 22, Sajan Saini 2, Chase White 3, Conner Longoria 5, Josh Parafina 10, Adam Rasmussen 2, Bryant Sutton 2. Washington -- Jaomani Scott 1, Maurice Hunter 12, Elijah Fuller 10, Deontre McGowen 0, Andre Dixon 12, Marshaun Williams 7, Thomas Cusic 12. 3-point goals -- Parafina 2, White 1, Hoban 1, Harris 4, Hunter 2, Fuller 2, Dixon 2.

Groovy's convention for properties is that any field without any visibility modifier is exposed as a property, with a getter and a setter transparently generated for you. For instance, this Person class exposes a getter getName() and a setter setName() for a private name field:
|Code Block
class Person { String name }
Which is equivalent to this Java class:
|Code Block
public class Person { private String name; public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(name) { this.name = name; } }
That said, this approach has one drawback in that you don't have the possibility to define a field with package-scope visibility. To be able to expose a field with package-scope visibility, you can now annotate your field with the @PackageScope annotation.

HOUSTON – November 1, 2012 – CenterPoint Energy has sent 275 linemen, support personnel and various contractors to the East Coast to help restore power in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
Multiple caravans of highly-experienced crew members in bucket trucks have left over the last few days to help Baltimore Gas & Electric (BG&E), Pepco and Atlantic City Electric with power restoration in several areas of Maryland and New Jersey.
More than 7.4 million homes and business lost power as a result of Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall Monday evening near Atlantic City, New Jersey, just as it was downgraded from a Category 1 hurricane.
"Hurricane Sandy has had a powerful impact on the East Coast, leaving behind flood waters, tree limbs and downed power lines," said David Baker, division vice president distribution power delivery for CenterPoint Energy. "Our experienced crews are ready to help the utility companies in the region, just as they have come to our aid in the past."
CenterPoint Energy crews expect to work 16-hour days removing toppled trees and tree limbs off power lines, replacing downed power poles, power lines and transformers, and restoring power.
CenterPoint Energy partners with other utilities in mutual assistance agreements to lend a hand during widespread power outage emergencies. Over the years, CenterPoint Energy crews have restored power to millions of customers throughout the country who were left in the dark following hurricanes, ice storms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. In 2008 following Hurricane Ike, CenterPoint Energy brought in 11,000 outside resources to help restore power to 2.1 million Houston-area customers who lost service following Ike's landfall.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a domestic energy delivery company that includes electric transmission & distribution, natural gas distribution, competitive natural gas sales and services, interstate pipelines and field services operations. The company serves more than five million metered customers primarily in Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. Assets total more than $22 billion. With about 8,800 employees, CenterPoint Energy and its predecessor companies have been in business for more than 135 years. For more information, visit the website at www.CenterPointEnergy.com.

You guys should really check out the site http://www.JesusNEVERexisted.com. It's not my site! LOL
A British academic has done an excellent job of putting together an argument that Christianity has been fabricated much like Greek or Roman religion was. He even has free audio clips and debates Chrisian apologists and does a great job! Below is his quote on the apostles:
"There is NO corroborating evidence for the existence of the twelve Apostles and absolutely NO evidence for the colourful variety of martyrs' deaths they supposedly experienced. The Bible itself actually mentions the death of only two apostles, a James who was put to death by Herod Agrippa (see James for a discussion of this tricky character) and the nasty Judas Iscariot (see below), who gets several deaths because he's the bad guy."

I'm trying to trace my grandfather, Michele Antonio Stefania, born Dec.03, 1874 in the provence of Foggia. He was an only child. I believe he did have an uncle on his mother's side. I do not have any info on his mother and father whatsoever. He came to USA between 1903 & 1905. I believe he landed in Boston and then immigrated to Canada. I haven't had any luck locating the ship he arrived on & when or where he entered into Canada.
Also trying to trace back on my grandmother's family. I do have more info on her. Her name was Maria Concetta Procaccini, born Feb. 04, 1872, in Panni, Foggia. Mother's name was Anna D'Michele. Father was Angelo Procaccini. She left Italy around 1907 to live in Canada. I don't know what port she landed in.
Any info on anything would be greatly appreciated.

An exceptional choice for your latest cross build or rim brake equipped MTB, The Neo-Retro is a wide-profile cantilever brake with a design based on the geometry of the famous Mafac Tandem brake. Where the Neo-Retro differs from its classic heritage is in its modern materials and adjustability.
The arms of the Neo-Retro are machined from lightweight 6061 aluminum. Their T-shaped cross section prevents the brake from flexing too much under load. The brake pads mount to slots in the arms that allow for vertical positioning. The toe-in and angle can be fine tuned thanks to the spherical washers on the brake pads' threaded posts. The long arms give the Neo-Retro lots of mechanical advantage and supreme mud clearance. However, for smaller frames and those with panniers, Paul Components recommends their narrower Touring Canti brake.
Like all of Paul Components' brakes, the Neo-Retro has a sealed pivot mechanism. Rubber seals and a stainless steel bushing keep the brake arms turning smoothly no matter what you're riding through. The spring tension can be adjusted in both pivots to center the brake and to adjust the strength of the return swing.
The Neo-Retro stands out with its stopping power, high adjustability, low easy maintenance, and classic looks. The brakes come with their pivots pre-greased and with all necessary hardware.

Comments about Paul Components Neo-Retro Cantilever:
The Paul Neo Retro cantilevers are styled after the ancient Mafac cantilevers. Hence the larger circular area in front of the brake pad mount. That circular area serves no other purpose than to visually mimic the old Mafacs. The Paul Touring Cantilever shares this design feature.
That said, these are nicely made brakes and are lightweight with nearly infinite return spring adjustment (similar to Suntour XC pro cantilevers from the 1980's). Like other modern hight-quality cantilevers (including linear-pull) they pivot on sealed sleeves instead of directly on the frames brake bosses. This makes for longer service life with less play. Paul's makes available plenty of service parts so if something wears out or breaks you'll be able to replace it.
Most cyclocrossers will run the Paul Neo Retro in the front and the low-profile Touring cantilever in the back. (This is from the belief that the Neo Retro's are more powerful-- they are NOT, the low-profile Touring canti's are!)
In any configuration the Paul cantilevers are as powerful as any "old school" cantilever that I've ever used. For even better performance, install Kool-Stop's "Cyclocross Pads" brake pads.
Style considerations aside, these make excellent additions to a classic steel cycocross bike build.

Questions & Answers

This boot incorporates aggressive styling and advanced technology that is sure to impress from the moment you slip your foot into the boot. Made in Italy for unparalleled quality and performance. New rubber "grip guard" helps the rider hold his position on the bike as well as displace the heat from the pipe. Soles - the proven traditional stitch on sole (Goodyear Welt Construction). New slimmer fit along with the new microfiber interior and ergonomic liner all promise to deliver comfort and protection. Four alloy buckles with wider straps promise a secure closure. The new Gaitor will keep debris out. Also has a removable/replaceable anatomic footbed.
Gaerne makes some of the best off road boots available today. They also make
one of the most complete lines. They have a boot for every level of riding, from
the clean jerseys all the way to the pros. This React is third in line out of
four MX capable models we have available here at Jafrum, behind the SG 10's and
12's and just ahead of the GX-1's.
A little clarity for our overseas customers, there are technically three
versions of this boot available globally, the difference between the three being
the sole construction. In the US, we're privy to just one. The model we have
available is the version with the Goodyear Welt sole construction and the
smooth, MX style tread pattern.
The React boot is available in four color ways, including this sharp red and
white version, and in US sizes eight to thirteen. The sizing is accurate, so, if
you get your feet measured with a proper measuring device at a shoe store, you
will be able to order without adjustment. If you are a half size, order the next
size up. Remember, Gaerne is a European boot manufacturer, so these aren't going
to accommodate super wide feet, but I'm on the narrow side of E, and these fit
comfortably on me.
One of the most important characteristics of an off road boot is flexibility.
The boot should prevent your ankle from rolling when you plant off of it, but
still promote easy shifting and braking. The hinge mechanism on the React is
excellent. The hinge has a single pivot point on both the lateral and medial
sides of the boot, but the hinge is able to slide back and forth on its pivot,
so the range of motion is excellent. These stretchy panels on the front and the
back of the boot work together with the ankle system to promote mobility.
An equally important off road boot characteristic is protection. The toe, the
heel, the ankle system, and the shin plate are all made of a highly durable TPU
material, and the adjustable and replaceable straps are fitted with metal
buckles for a secure fit. On the medial side of the boot is a panel that is
designed to protect your leg from heat, and to promote grip of the bike.
Now, let's face it, if you aren't wearing your gear out, you aren't riding hard
enough, so it's important for an off road boot to not only be durable, but also
have replaceable parts. The sole is made of a dual compound material that riders
say is the longest lasting on the market, and the toe cap is reinforced and
replaceable. The insole is also replaceable, as are the straps and buckles. If
you open these buckles up, you can see the mud resistant gaitor and the moisture
wicking liner designed to help keep your feet dry.

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Everett firefighters work to put out a fire on a boat in the Everett Marina Tuesday evening. Everett Fire Department crews responded to a call of a boat fire from the Everett Police Department who were on scene handling a domestic dispute call, according to Everett Fire Department Fire Marshall Rick Robinson. One man was taken into custody by police.
Everett Fire Department crews responded to a fire reported by Everett police, who told crews that a possibly suicidal man had set a small boat on fire, following a domestic dispute.

No serious injuries were reported.

The Governor of the State of Iowa is an elected Constitutional officer, the head of the Executive branch, and the highest state office in Iowa. The Governor is popularly elected every four years by a plurality and has no term limit. Prior to a Constitutional Amendment passed in 1972, the Governor's term had been two years.
Current officer
The 42nd and current governor of Iowa is Republican Terry E. Branstad, elected in November 2010. Having held the office previously from 1983 to 1999, Branstad is also Iowa's 39th Governor and the state's longest serving Governor.
His wife, Chris Branstad, is the First Lady of Iowa.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Under Article IV, Section II:
The supreme executive power of this state shall be vested in a chief magistrate, who shall be styled the governor of the state of Iowa.
Iowa elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For Iowa, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the first Tuesday after the second Monday in the January following an election. Thus, January 18, 2011 and January 13, 2015 are inaugural days.
If two candidates are tied, the General Assembly casts ballots to choose the winner.
Power devolves to the Lieutenant Governor at any time when the Governor is unable or unwilling to discharge the office, under Article IV, Section 4.
Section 17, also referenced statutorily in §7.14 of the Code, grant the powers and duties of the Governor to the Lieutenant Governor for the remaining portion of the term.
Section 19 governs vacancy procedure when both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor are unable to serve. Power first devolves to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and then to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. After that, the Iowa Supreme Court must call an extraordinary session of the General Assembly to choose an Acting Governor.
As chief administrator of Iowa's government, the governor is responsible for the effective and efficient workings of the various state departments and agencies. The governor appoints department and agency heads and other state officials not elected by the people. The governor's appointments are generally subject to approval by the Senate.
The governor takes final action on all bills passed by the Iowa General Assembly. The governor may approve bills by signing them or disapprove bills by vetoing them. Each year, the governor reports on the financial condition of the state and makes recommendations on the state's budget. The Governor has the power to call a special session of the General Assembly.
A candidate for governor is required to be:
- at least 30 years old by the time of election
- a United States citizen
- a resident of Iowa for at least two years before the election
Additionally, under Article IV, Section 15, no governor may hold any other federal or state office while serving.

How do you make a great cup of coffee at home?
Choose a brewing method that suits you. No brewing method is "the best" - it is largely a matter of personal preference. Some brewing methods are more suited to one type of coffee than another. For example, vacuum brewing tends to emphasize the delicate flavors in a cup, whereas espresso brewing makes a potent concentrate. Some methods are simpler, some more complicated. It should go without saying, but if you brew coffee that is low quality, poorly roasted, or old to start off with it will taste bad no matter what you do.
With all types of brewing, you need to use good, fresh water and clean equipment. Water must be between 195 and 205°F. The proper grind is also essential for maximum flavor extraction. You can find general brewing tips on the Brewing Fundamentals page and brewer-specific tip sheets and articles in the Library.

Who Is Ben Bernanke?
Many Americans regard the Chairman of the Federal Reserve System as one of the nation's most powerful officials, second only to the President. The influence of the Federal Reserve Chairman stretches beyond the borders of the United States, affecting the monetary policy and market conditions of nations throughout the world. Yet, to many Americans, the workings of the Federal Reserve System and the duties of the Chairman are mysteries. The purpose of this lesson is to:
- Examine the historical development of the Federal Reserve System.
- Provide background on Ben Bernanke, the new Federal Reserve Chairman.
In this lesson you will learn about the role of the Federal Reserve Chairman. You also will learn about the current Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and the former Chairman Alan Greenspan. You will complete a KWL (Know, Want to Know, Learn) chart while working through this lesson.
Start by printing the PDF file that contains the KWL chart. Then fill in the first two columns with what you know and what you want to know about the Federal Reserve System, Alan Greenspan, and Ben S. Bernanke. Finish working through the information in the lesson and complete the other activities before filling in the last column.
Alan Greenspan retired as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on January 31, 2006. He served for over 18 years. He was originally appointed to the office as Chairman on August 11, 1987, by President Reagan. Mr. Greenspan was reappointed to the Board for a full 14-year term, which began February 1, 1992. He was appointed Chairman by Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, William Clinton, and George W. Bush. Mr. Greenspan served the second-longest term in the history of the Fed. (Only William McChesney served longer.) Click here to view photographs and dates of service of the past Federal Reserve Chairmen.

|Ben S. Bernanke
How Is the Chairman Appointed?
Mr. Bernanke was appointed Federal Reserve Chairman through a process similar to the one used in other high level federal appointments. The Federal Reserve Act (FRA) of 1913 established the Federal Reserve System. The FRA explains who is eligible to serve on the Board of Governors and who may serve as Chairman; it also sets their term limits. The FRA states that to become Chairman a person must be a member of the Board of Governors. This might suggest that only current Governors can serve as Chairman, but in fact, as pointed out by Andrew Foerster of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, a candidate can be simultaneously appointed Governor and Chairman. The President nominates people to serve as Federal Reserve Board Governors. Then the process moves to the Senate, where the nominee testifies before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. From there, the nomination moves to the floor of the Senate for a vote. The Chairman is appointed to a four-year term. The Chairman can serve several four-year terms, as did Alan Greenspan. These are a few of the "Most Frequently Asked Questions" about Mr. Bernanke. If you need some help, go back up to the information above.
What was Mr. Bernanke's most recent appointment before becoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve?
What position did he hold before being appointed as Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers?
What are Mr. Bernanke's academic credentials for the Federal Reserve job?
Is Mr. Bernake regarded as a scholar?
- Does Mr. Bernake have any background as a leader in K-12 education?
The Chairman of the Federal Reserve System is widely considered to be one of the most powerful people in the world. You will now be familiar with the new Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, and you will have reviewed the history and structure of the Federal Reserve System.
Now complete the "Learned" column in the KWL chart. Include the following information:
- Alan Greenspan's place in Federal Reserve history
- The structure of the Federal Reserve
- How the Federal Reserve Chairman is chosen
- Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's background

Using the following information about the Great Depression, as written by Bernanke, have a discussion with your class or in small groups about the Federal Reserve's role in the Great Depression
In his book, Essays on the Great Depression, Bernanke refers to the Great Depression as the "Holy Grail of macroeconomics." "I guess I am a Great Depression buff, the way some people are Civil War buffs," he wrote in the preface to the book. "I don't know why there aren't more Depression buffs. The Depression was an incredibly dramatic episode– an era of stock market crashes, bread lines, bank runs, and wild currency speculation, with the storm clouds of war gathering ominously in the background all the while."
Between 1929 and 1933, the output produced in the U.S. plummeted by almost 30%. Further, the unemployment rate surged to over 25%, and more than 9,700 American banks failed. The huge number of bank panics occurring during this period was unprecedented, prompting President Franklin Roosevelt to make his famous statement, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." The reasons for the onset of the Great Depression, causing unparalleled economic misery in the United States and around the world, have been widely debated. The Fed remained remarkably passive during the onset of the Great Depression. The Fed refused to perform its function as a lender of last resort (one of the major reasons for forming the Federal Reserve in 1913) for failing banks. The Board of Governors did not fully understand the negative impact that bank failures would have on the money supply and the economy in general. Milton Friedman and Anna Jacobson Schwartz discussed this in their influential book, A Monetary History of the United States, 1867 – 1960, reporting that the Federal Reserve "tended to regard bank failures as regrettable consequences of bank management or bad banking practices, or as inevitable reactions to prior speculative excesses, or as a consequence but hardly a cause of the financial and economic collapse in process." Further, Friedman and Schwartz note, bank failures were concentrated among smaller banks while the Federal Reserve was controlled by big city bankers that "deplored the existence" of the smaller banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve System raised interest rates in 1931, which discouraged business borrowing and caused the money supply to shrink . With so much less money to go around, businesses could not get the loans they needed and were forced to stop investing.
What does Mr. Bernanke make of all this? He fully acknowledges the failings of the Federal Reserve System during the Great Depression. In fact, at a 2002 conference honoring Mr. Friedman's 90th birthday, Bernanke, then a Federal Reserve Governor, told Friedman, "Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again." The Federal Reserve 's response to more recent financial crises, like the October 1987 stock market crash and the economic downturn following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, suggest that they have learned their lesson from the Great Depression and won't let such an event happen again.

Not everything is samba and football in Brazil. With more than 8 million square kilometres, it has some of the best natural treasures in the world, such as tropical rainforests like the Amazon, the world's largest marshland area, and the tropical forests along the coast, which make this country one of nature's gems. A country with large contrasts where time seems to stand still when the girl from Ipanema passes by.
The New World began in the Dominican Republic and this was probably not a coincidence. "Quisqueya", which is what the islanders call it, represents the essence of the Caribbean Sea and probably left Columbus speechless when he arrived there. Crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, many palm trees and an average temperature of 25 degrees so that you can enjoy idyllic beaches. The island's colonial past has left cities like Santo Domingo de Guzmán, where time seems to have stood still and, with this, its people, pervaded with that Caribbean spirit where life passes by more slowly.
Sun, beaches, a varied cuisine appreciated worldwide and the outgoing and cheerful nature of Spaniards are some of the main reasons for visiting a country where 7,880 kilometres of coastline and the warm Mediterranean climate will make your stay a unique experience, so you can enjoy some of the best beaches in the world in one of the countries with the greatest cultural wealth around the world.
Sicily is to Italy what the sun is to spring, essential. To find out more about the authentic Italian spirit, the island with "three points" is the best destination. With the ardent nature represented by the Mount Etna volcano, the taste for beauty reflected in its age-old monuments and the passion that exudes in the streets and squares of cities like Palermo and Catania, you will discover the real secret of the "dolce vita".
"You're in Jamaica: C'mon and smile! (In Jamaica, y'all) Get it together, y'all!" Bob Marley was definitely right: Jamaica was made for smiling. An island with mountainous terrain surrounded by a coastal strip which enables the contrast of the intense green and blue colours of the Caribbean Sea to become a unique island. From the Blue Mountains to the white sand beaches, if the island has something special it is the spirit of Rastafari. Let yourself go and remember "no problem, you're in Jamaica".
Mariachis, tequila and very spicy, Mexico is clearly this and much more. Located in the heart of the American continent, it has the privilege of being between two waters, washed by the Caribbean Sea on the east with the contrast of the vastness of the Pacific Ocean on the west. Mexico has 31 nature and cultural reserves declared as World Heritage Sites, the Yucatan peninsula and all the wealth of the Mayan culture which make it a unique destination, mind you, accompanied with tequila, lemon and salt.

Sick of this 'precautionary' bs
Dang.Jennifer Hale @JenHale504
#Hornets Anthony Davis is out for tonight's game vs #Knicks with stress reaction on left ankle. Precautionary move after test results.
Smh seriously?? He hasn't played in a week
Glad I didn't waste more money to go see a mediocre product, AGAIN.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
and doubtful for tomorrow. sweet
And I have Club Seats tonight too... Guess ill witness JR Smith go for 40 points... And we keep the losing streak alive.
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Anthony Davis (stress reaction in foot) will not play vs. Knicks. Monty: "He's day-to-day. It's something we're going to be cautious about."
rather than some new ideas like the new orleans pelicans, brass, or something along those lines, we should strongly consider the new orleans injuries or perhaps the new orleans crippled
Seriously this team needs to man up! Austin Rivers jams a finger and tells the team he is fine and they force him to sit, Davis rolls an ankle and says he is fine and they force him to sit. Eric Gordon can do whatever the {Mod edit} he wants and no one says anything. This is ridiculous!
It's frustrating for sure and while I understand precautions, I just want some consistency. Consistency in the lineups and the rotations. We haven't had that yet this season.
The word precautionary tells me he should be out there tonight. I feel like we aren't playing to win.
It's always something with this team.
So...he could play. But they just won't let him. Annoying.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
I guess I'll catch the Degrassi finale during the game.
Precautionary..... Whats that sound like?.... Sounds a lot like........ A TANK! it makes me happy and sad at the same time.
I guess if it was just a 'tweak' as they said previously he would be playing but since it's now a 'stress reaction', that could mean something a little more.
Jennifer Hale @JenHale504
#Hornets Anthony Davis will make road trip tonight w/ team, but he's questionable w/stress reaction for tomorrow's game.
After Gordon and all his BS, I'm fine with Davis sitting a couple extra games. We aren't winning a championship this year anyway. Y not let him get back to 100%?
I keep reading Stress Reaction and thinking Stress fracture... stop saying stress reaction! its stressing me out!
Chipped nail, a tweak, stress reaction, shotgun wounds, beheadings...what difference does it make?
Were not ****ing tanking. Just let them be cautious. It's one damn game
Calm down, i am kidding. (mostly) Just having some fun with it.
Are the Lakers this conservative with there players...NO! They play to win the game! We have to start thinking the same thing

Layers and Roof Replacement Costs
David Groome, of Lansdowne, Pa., is a carpenter who worked in the roofing trade for over 14 years. Here he offers some advice regarding roof replacement costs. Groome said that most cities and towns in the country allow up to three layers of roofing, generally asphalt or similar types of shingles. "Sometimes you have to take a layer off, or if there is damage to the underlying wood, you'd need to perform repairs," said Groome.

Warren's second half leads Rebs past Hogs
Andy Kennedy knows there's nothing Ole Miss can do about its four-game losing streak to open Southeastern Conference play.
The Ole Miss coach knows it happened. It's not going away.
While the Rebels can't change the past, they continued to try and climb out of the early hole with a 69-60 win over Arkansas on Saturday night. Chris Warren, the hero of a last-second win over Kentucky earlier in the week, scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half as the Rebels (15-8, 3-5) pulled away for their third win in four games since the dismal conference start.
