Tested: Bell Super 2R
Bell's Super 2R is supposed to be two helmets in one: unsnap a couple of buckles and it transforms from full-face helmet to cross-country lid. Sounds impressive. How does it actually pan out on the trail?
All accessories
Tested: Cratoni Rocket Helmet
The Rocket is Cratoni's high-end, XC-style lid, weighing in at just 270 grams and features extensive venting. How does it stack up to the competition? Here's the review.
Tested: Crankbrothers Mallet 3
The two-piece design of the Mallet body comprises a composite half that helps lower the overall weight of the pedal and an aluminum outer half which is more durable against strikes, abrasion and wear and tear. The forged chromoly axle is designed to be stronger than previous models with an improved sealing to keep out unwanted mess and prolong the life of the pedal between service intervals (I couldn't find and strip down an older version to compare them directly).
JVC Adixxion Action Cam
Since the point-of-view camera took off in popularity, I wondered when and how the big electronic brands would enter the market. With Sony and JVC both recently joining the market with competitively spec'd and priced cameras it's clear, at least on paper, that the long-monopolized market has some competition. I tested the JVC Adixxion Action Cam to see if it could hold a candle to the tried-and-true POV brands like GoPro.
Tested: Thule 917XTR T2 Rack
I've subjected Thule's T2 rack to plenty of abuse—winter snows, spring rains, summer heat, lots of mud, no maintenance given, no kindness shown. The T2, however, keeps on keeping on.
Gear of the Year: Bike's Editors Make Some Personal Picks
A lot of gear moves through the warehouse at Bike HQ. The opportunity to test the latest helmets, apparel, bikes and various other bits related to pedaling on dirt is a part of the job that keeps us editors going when the deadlines, late production nights and the ever increasing pressure to create more content bogs us down. Inevitably, one or two pieces of gear rises to the top and wears more than the rest over the course of the year. These were a few of our personal favorites in 2013.
Preview: Sugoi RSX NeoShell Jacket
Sugoi is making big claims about their latest top-shelf rain jacket, the RSX NeoShell, which features a serious dose of waterproofing and advanced venting capabilities. Here are some first impressions after a dozen or so rides in the wet.
Matter: Bag to the Future
A pilfered IV-bag, a clothespin and a tube sock; these were the raw ingredients for the first hydration pack--a product every mountain biker has since used at one time or another. This is the story of how one man's attempt to fend off heat exhaustion in a west Texas century led to a device which has saved everyone's bacon at one time or another.
News: Single-Ringin' It Gets a Boost
OneUp Components' new 42-tooth cog just might make ditching the front derailleur a feasible, and affordable, option for the masses. Here's the story.
Preview: Lezyne CNC Rod & BB/Cassette Tool
While no one ever intends to over-tighten their bottom bracket or cassette lock ring, these sorts of things happen to the best of us. Thus, I was excited to get my hands on Lezyne's CNC-Rod, which provides the more ham-fisted amongst us with a bit of extra leverage.
Tested: Race Face Charge Leg Guards
I used to think body armor was for park rats and professional freeriders. I wouldn't be caught in the stuff anywhere outside of a lift-accessed resort. Sporting pads on a trail ride? It was, to my way of thinking, a bit like slapping a "Tap Out" mixed martial arts bumper sticker on your pick up or, getting "No Fear" tattooed on your neck or riding a unicycle in public—all just desperate cries for attention.
News: Drift Unveils New Ghost-S POV Camera
Drift Innovation unveiled the Ghost-S today—their latest and "most powerful" action sports camera to date. What does "most powerful" actually mean? In this case, better battery life, improved low-light performance, higher quality video and a ton of new features. Here are the details.
Tested: Shimano Winter Shoes
If you are a mountain biking junkie, winter riding doesn't have to mean losing your toes. Not with the Shimano MW81 at least.
Tested: Mavic Notch Helmet
At 320 grams, the Mavic lid comes in right where you'd expect, based on the amount of coverage it offers.
Long-Term Test: Kind Shock LEV
Regardless of where the post is in its travel, it is rock solid. there is zero squish, and I didn't notice any fore-aft or side-to-side play, even after countless miles in the saddle.
Tested: Specialized EMT Pro MTB
Specialized packed an impressive amount of tools into a lightweight (104 grams) and compact package. While we had one particular gripe with the tool, it's a smart package on the whole. Here's why.
Tested: Giro Chamber Shoes
The Chamber has a skate-inspired, street shoe aesthetic,which looks great but also provides function.
Tested: M.U.L.E.® NV™
I've grown accustomed to wobbling down the trail like a mobile Quasimodo and have never really sought out a more compact hydration pack. Until recently, that is. This year's Bible of Bike Tests Trail/All Mountain test loop starts and ends out of our front door.Running my great haversack of a hydration pack is a bit of overkill. This CamelBak M.U.L.E. NV was the perfect option.
Tested: Topeak Joe Blow Ace Floor Pump
A bicycle floor pump that works well for seating mountain-bike tubeless tires and high-pressure road bike tires.
Long-Term Test: Five Ten Impact High
The world may have gravitated towards lighter, sleeker, sexier shoes (and Five Ten, itself, will soon offer that flavor of Impact), but I'm stuck on these clunky, sticky moon boots. They'll rot off of my feet before I give them up. Here's why...
Tested: Pearl Izumi X-Alp Launch
The Pearl Izumi X-Alp Launch is a lightweight, breezy and comfortable SPD-compatible shoe that's ideal for riders looking to spend a lot of time on their bike...or even carrying it.

STTG Market Recap Mar 21, 2013
Another interesting session in the market as we ask "who is getting headfaked?" Unlike yesterday when all the world's ills were ushered away by Mr. Ben Bernanke, today market's sold off sharply again as if all of yesterday's bad news suddenly did matter – but just with a one day delay. While Cyprus remains in the news, there was decent economic news in the U.S. (weekly labor unemployment claims) and China (initial purchasing managers index) offset by more poor data out of Europe (weak purchasing managers index). But the weight of bad data points from Caterpillar, FedEx, and Oracle seemed to finally matter. The S&P 500 fell 0.83% and the NASDAQ 0.97%; the action was indeed disappointing considering yesterday's move in that there was no upside follow through.
As for the S&P 500 it has been a very tricky week as the index fell out of its five month channel (barely), then rallied back into it yesterday, and today fell right back out. A case of whiplash here. For those looking for this as the start of a real correction the 1520-1525 area will be an area of focus in the coming weeks. Bulls will want that to hold if and when the index gets there.
The NASDAQ continues to be the weaker player here of the two major indexes.
Gold has finally awoke although it had a lot of work to do to make this more than an oversold bounce.
Gold miners as shown by the ETF for the group have broken over highs of the past three weeks.
On the positive side Yahoo (YHOO) was upgraded today and broke out of a descending channel it had been in, working off a big move; we'll see if it can hold. Oppenheimer raised the company to outperform from perform and raised its price target to $27, up $5 from its prior target.
Oracle (ORCL), as mentioned yesterday, reported last night to poor reviews. The stock was crushed today, giving back three month's of gains in one session.
Tomorrow looks like a light session economically and last week was the first down Friday of the year (for the DJIA) so we'll see if bulls can straighten the ship. After the bell, Nike (NKE) reported a nice quarter and may allay some of the concerns of global growth.
Global orders for Nike-branded shoes and clothing scheduled for delivery from March through July 2013, known as futures orders, rose 6 percent compared to orders reported for the same period last year. In North America, the company's biggest market, orders increased 11 percent. The company also saw a turnaround in future demand in Greater China, with orders rising 4 percent, after falling in the previous two quarters.

Report: Hanford beryllium program has weaknesses
RICHLAND, Wash. A program to protect workers from a toxic metal at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site has a number of weaknesses and could have been implemented more quickly, but it's an improvement over past practices, a federal report concluded Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of Energy initiated an independent inspection four months ago following workers' concerns that they have not been adequately protected from beryllium at south-central Washington's Hanford nuclear reservation.
Beryllium, a light but strong metal, was used during World War II- and Cold War-era plutonium production for nuclear weapons, and dust from the metal remains in some buildings.
The report presents a roadmap for improvements, and the Energy Department embraces the recommendations moving forward, said Ines Triay, the agency's assistant secretary for environmental management.
"Our actions are going to be proactive," she said. "We will ensure that we bring the resources to the table to follow the recommendations, make sure our corrective actions not only are robust but they stay the course."
The federal government created Hanford in the 1940s as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. Today, it is the nation's most contaminated nuclear site, with about $2 billion spent annually on cleanup.
In addition, roughly $2 billion in federal stimulus dollars has been directed to Hanford to speed cleanup and try to meet mandated deadlines. Currently, 11,900 people work there.
Contractors handle the cleanup, while the Energy Department oversees them.
Some Hanford workers have been complaining for years about beryllium dangers at the site. More than 160 workers have been diagnosed with sensitivity to the metal, which restricts where they can work at the site, or chronic beryllium disease, a lung disorder.
Tom Peterson, a former Hanford worker who was diagnosed with the disease in 2003, said the report was excellent but it's only as good as the paper it's written on.
"We've been here before," he said. "I'm still a little leery. We have to see where it goes. The commitment is there. The funding? I've already heard funding is an issue."
The DOE's independent Office of Health, Safety and Security completed the inspection, which evaluated medical surveillance programs at the site and current practices for protecting workers from beryllium hazards. Doctors from regional health facilities and worker safety groups also participated.
The report concluded that the new sitewide program for protecting workers against beryllium exposure, implemented this year, represents an improvement over previous practices. Each contractor previously had addressed beryllium risks independently.
However, the report also identified a number of weaknesses and concluded the program could have been implemented more quickly. Weaknesses included inadequate postings about beryllium-tainted work areas, analysis of newly identified illnesses, and communication about the beryllium program across the site.
Lead inspector Tom Staker noted that several concerns identified in 2003 correlate with those cited in two recent letters to the Energy Department by the Hanford Advisory Board, an advisory board comprising American Indian tribes, worker safety groups and environmental interest groups.
"Resolution of past concerns have not been effective," Staker said.

I like to think of it like finding a dozen cats in a forest as large as the surface area of the earth. Scatter those cats in there randomly and then take a few steps into the forest. Will you be shocked if you don't find them after a few steps in? Take five or six more? No cats? Hmmmm...must be a paradox. We know they are in there, so why aren't we finding them? Scale this up by a magnitude of a few billion.
, you forgot to give these cats an evolutionary advantage that ensures their survival and prosperity (equivalent of intelligence/technology) and to wait a few thousand years. Fulfill those two requirements and, when you walk into the forest, you'll find the cats everywhere.
For a more detailed explanation, read my previous post from this thread.
Actually there is a flaw in my analogy. We do have an idea of how big space is, but we have no idea how widespread alien life is should that life exist. Further, even if a small percent of life has spread out from their home planet to other places, we do not know how prolific they are. Do they really spread quickly from galaxy to galaxy, or just populate a very small number (say a few thousand) planets in the scheme of things. How many of these civilizations may populate even a handful of planets, much less a thousand. How many go on to populate multiple galaxies?
Even if life is fairly widespread, given the largeness of the universe, I do not think comparing 12 cats living on a land mass the size of the earth is any kind of obvious understatement to the population density of the universe. It seems more likely that it is an overstatement.
if a space-faring alien species colonized planets from solar systems other than their own, it won't stop at 10, 100 or 1000. The many different civilizations this species fathered won't have a program saying - we colonized 1234 planets, we stop here. As time passes, the colonization will continue.
I treated in a previous post of mine from this thread this exact problem:
About Milky way colonization and the cycles of alien civilizations:
Let's say you have an alien species that just learned to travel close to light speed (and let's assume lightspeed is an absolute speed limit).
This species now has ships that can reach the nearest stars in a few decades. Also, this species will be composed from various factions with various motivations (if it's anything like humanity). This means that some of the factions will have motivations that include sending colonizing ships to the nearest inhabitable systems.
These inhabitable systems will be inhabited in ~100 years, and the colonies will thrive in, let's say, ~500 years. These colonies will send their own ships (in addition to the ones being sent by the home system) around this time.
In another 600 years, the colonies created by this new colonizing wave will begin to send heir own ships - which will be added to the ships being sent by the home system and the first established colonies.
And so forth - the rate of exploration/colonization will increase exponentially as new colonies are established/the alien species expands.
In a few million years, this alien species will have colonies EVERYWHERE in the galaxy - Milky way is 100.000 in diameter!
And these colonies will be only very tenuously linked with the home system; in a few million years they will be completely different civilizations! Their values and perhaps their biology will be different - think star trek humanoids, at the very least.
Let's say the original alien civilization collapses - this will have NO EFFECT on the civilizations fathered by it! There can be no such thing as a "galactic middle age" when the galaxy is filled with thousands of different civilizations! Some will collapse, but some will be at their peak!
And I'm assuming that, at the beginning, there existed only one alien species - anywhere in the galaxy!
What if there are hundreds/thousands of alien species! Even if one assumes that a species is completely unlike humanity/has no desire to colonize the galaxy, a few of hundreds/thousands will do it.

"Another day, another dollar?" suggested my driver as we wove through the busy streets of New York.
I grunted at her in answer, flipping to another page in my newspaper. I had little interest in consorting with the flirty blonde my mother had arranged to drive me everywhere. Besides, it had been a long day at the family company. Putting the finishing touches on my playing card castle while collecting my lucrative salary is exhausting after all. I know what you're thinking; I'm a lazy, overgrown boy who wouldn't survive for ten minutes in the real world. You're probably right. What 27 year old man allows his mother to assign him a driver?
The traffic thinned as we left the city. I rolled down the window and stuck my head out to breathe the fresh air. Well, the less polluted air. I have a rather… sensitive sense of smell, especially so close to the full moon. The Pierce family manor was tucked away in our little patch of forest on the edge of so much concrete jungle. Pine is one of my favorite scents and I inhaled it gratefully as we turned into the driveway. The coniferous forest curtain pulled away from the circular driveway and the McMansion situated behind it. We stopped just in front of the mahogany double doors and I realized I was grinning. Michael was waiting for me.
It was nothing out of the ordinary. Michael always waited for me to get home. He had to. He was my servant. I couldn't be seen carrying my own briefcase inside, could I? At one time, Michael had been my driver as well. During those days I had been forced to work overtime several times per week. It was a tragedy, no doubt, one only eclipsed by my dry cleaning bill.

U.S. Customs let a camera crew into the border processing center in McAllen on Tuesday. And yet again, it was overflowing with children.
Juan Angel Gonzales de la Cruz is one of the children who was in a Laredo center days ago. The 10-year-old somehow made it to Texas from Guatemala with a teenage friend and no one else.
A guide who was supposed to help them deserted them. They spent 16 days alone... and afraid.
But they survived.
Juan Angel was processed in the over-capacity center, then sent to a temporary shelter which is also at capacity. His family was found in Houston, and after being reunited with them, he spoke with our sister station KHOU, saying he was scared but happy to be with his family again.
Juan Angel is the type of child who could soon be sheltered in Dallas. The Border Patrol facilities usually process thee unaccompanied children within 72 days of finding them, but because there are so many coming through the border, that standard cannot be maintained.
So the processing centers remain full, as do the 65 or so Office of Refugee Resettlement shelters that exist across Texas. Another 35 are located in other states.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement is part of the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families. The ACF has set up temporary shelters in Oklahoma, California, and at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.
Juan Angel was sent to the San Antonio facility. He said he was treated well and saw a lot of children there coming and going.
The ACF said facilities in Dallas are being identified by the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. General Services Administration as potential locations.
'While only a few facilities will ultimately be selected, a wide range of facilities are being identified and evaluated to determine if they may feasibly provide temporary shelter space for children,' ACF said in a written statement.
While the location for a Dallas center has not been determined, ACF said strict protocols will be in place the same protocols that govern other shelters across the nation.
The Department of Health and Human Services pays for and provides all services for the children through a network of grantees. That includes food, clothing, education, and medical screening.
The children do not leave the grounds; they do not attend local schools; and they are not allowed in until they have been vaccinated and evaluated.
Children 'do not integrate into the local community ... they are not permitted to roam the local town or visit area attractions,' the ACF's website says.
The non-profit agency Catholic Charities says, based on historical figures, children normally stay in these shelters about 35 days. Most are reunited with families outside the State of Texas. On average, 14 percent end up living in Texas long-term, and about four percent end up in Dallas.

Time to do repair30 - 60 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
Screw drivers
I stated this repair to a bit difficult because it is awkward to work on with your head cocked backwards to see while having to lean inside the frig but really its an easy part to replace. The cold air damper was broken where the metal shaft of the electric actuator motor inserts into the hinge side of the damper and allowing the freezer air to over cool the frig. The damper is made of plastic and looks like a small door. I super glued the damper once but the repair only lasted 45-60 days. You would have to take the old part completly apart to see the motor and damper so I would not do this unless you are like me and want to know how things tick. To insatll the new part you need to remove the top 2 shelfs, then remove the lighting section with a phillips screwdriver and let the light fixture hang from the wires. The tricky part is to use a thin flat screwdriver to pry at the seam of the plastic cover at the bottom of the air duct. You cannot see the mounting attachments but behind the air duct cover there are vertical slots that slide and mount onto screws fixed to the back wall of the compartment. If you are not careful the cover can be broken where the slots slide over the mounting screws. The rest of it is pretty much as the instructions decribe. I installed the new part as is with only one cold air opening eventhough there were 3 cold air openings in the old part which the instruction do not address. The extra openings are probably meant for faster recovery once the frig door shuts yet the frige seems to work fine now after a week of operation so I would assume the other openings are not necessary. The new fan motor made a high pitch whining noise so I took the new part out again and replaced the fan motor with the old one which took care of the noise problem. If you do this be careful not to install the old fan motor in backwards or the air will blow in the wrong direction! Other than that the new part fit and works great! Good luck with your repair. -d

text: Posted 27 Mar 2013 · Report post I don't expect many to reply to this thread, but check these guys out. I've been a huge Clutch fan for about 7 or 8 years now. I've been to four shows and they've always put on an amazing show. They've been labeled as a stoner rock, funk, jazz, metal, southern rock, and blues band. But they are a very straight-forward band; a punch in the mouth if you will. If you like groovy riffs, some amazing drumming and an absurdist poet singer then this is the band for you. They are a working man's band. Not much notoriety, but they have a cult following. The lead singer/songwriter is Neil Fallon, a mammoth of a man (voice wise) who preaches his rock n' roll to anyone who will listen. His lyrical topics range from Abraham Lincoln to Medousa to Biblical figures to Cyborg Girlfriends. Very interesting and fun lyrics. Really off the wall stuff. They've evolved there sound over the 20+ years they have played. Each record has it's own different vibe to it. Here are some youtube videos of the diversity of their sound. Their new album, Earth Rocker, has been getting a lot of great reviews. They were just touring with Motorhead and Thin Lizzy... self-titled" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka5CDKG17j4[/media] the elephant riders: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3mb8HEZhRU[/media] Pure Rock Fury: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v5jYL1lMUQ[/media] Blast Tyrant: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCSFwGy9gQY[/media] From Beale Street to Oblivion: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp6tX0wxRA8[/media] Strange Cousins from the West: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwDLB8fFsgE[/media] A very cool and unique sounding band. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
Anyone else think the graphics are really cluttered?
I'm only early on, but I can hardly see what's going on with the isometric view, especially when lots of units and buildings are next to each other.
I'm also stuck on a really early level. It's the one where some horseman is waiting on a bridge while I build up my town, and then we are supposed to go over and take over the enemy's town. But there doesn't seem to be a town to take over. Just barracks and stuff.
Hmmm I never really had an issue with the graphics and/or the view. I guess i can kinda see what you mean. Although I think the gamemakers did the best with what they had. Can you think of an improvement to the graphics/view?
And I think I know what mission you are talking about. Are there two buildings? A barracks and a town center?
They say you never know what you've got until its gone
I dunno. Maybe they could have an option to change the angle of the isometric view or something. I suppose it's playable anyway.
As for the mission, I'm not sure. It's the very first mission where you actually build up a town and a few troops, and you are supposed to capture the enemy's town. So I got over there, and couldn't find what the game was specifically referring to, so I started destroying things. Eventually it said "you need to capture the town, not destroy it!". But I can't get whats-her-name (the one on the horse) to capture anyway, only attack.
Oh I see. You need to destroy the British town center, but leave the other buildings. Build a town center of your own where the old one was. On the day this town center is completed, all the town buildings will be yours. This is how you capture a town. They didn't make this very clear in the instructions. Its a common mistake; I didn't get the first time I played it either.
Hope you enjoy this game! It's one of my all-time favorites.
They say you never know what you've got until its gone
Oh ok, thanks for that! Yeah, they could have helped me out a bit!
Yeah, sorry about your trouble. Thanks for asking, though. This board may look dead, but there are still those of us here who love this game and are glad to help anyone who needs it. We are always up for a good challenge, too. :)

Keywords: Modern, beachfront, on the ocean, beautiful views, ocean front, on the beach. An incomparable Kauai experience. Huge roof top deck for sunbathing, whale watching and sunset dinners. Secluded, private, quiet (excepting the surf).
Sharon and I stumbled on this house together and knew we had found our paradise. Moloaa Bay is private and quiet and has everything you have been dreaming about. There is a wonderful calm area to the right for small children. Another area closer in on the right is perfect for wave jumping, riding and boogie boarding. To the left is a lagoon that is so beautiful it still takes our breath away every time. It changes with the tide, season, and rain flow. Further to the left is a great place for snorkeling. The left side is also where the turtles and monk seals can most often be found.
Sharon also likes how close our location is to other towns. She enjoys the lattes, baked goods and pizza only ten minutes away in Kilauea. I like that Kapaa is only 15 minutes away so I can get supplies quickly and get back home. And, we both appreciate the beautiful 20 minute drive to Princeville and Hanalei. Breath taking everytime.
What an absolutely exquisite retreat on the very edge of the sea! The sound of the surf lulls you to sleep after you have luxuriated on the rooftop deck under a sparkling night sky full of stars. You can have your morning coffee while gazing down at the sea, watching turtles swimming across the bay and sometimes rare monk seals sunning themselves on the sand. It's literally steps to the beautiful secluded beach, which rarely has more than a handful of people. It's easy to imagine that you are on a deserted island. In fact, the enchanting Maloaa lagoon was once the filming location for part of the famed "Gilligan's Island" series. Both Peter and Sharon are attentive and engaging hosts who have truly thought of everything. From the comfortably appointed bedrooms and kitchen, the jacuzzi bathtub, the outdoor shower, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc., there is literally no reason to leave this magical place. But if you want to venture forth it's only a short drive to the nearest towns, the charming Hanalei (of Puff the Magic Dragon renown) and the extraordinary Na Pali coast trail. If you really like the idea of getting away from it all, this is absolutely an outstanding spot!
I know I will return again....and again.
Here it's all about the view: while some of the other Moloa'a Bay properties may be ocean front, not many can say that you can see nothing but the ocean out the front windows while sitting on the (very comfortable) couch! And being able to listen to the waves the entire time was very relaxing. The rooftop deck is also amazing. We loved to go up at night and watch the stars and the moon (who knew that there were really that many stars?).
Moloa'a Bay is a very beautiful beach that is off the beaten path. It never felt too crowded, but because parking spaces are limited some visitors have to park a bit away and walk down to the beach. Not us! It was so nice to drive by all those cars and not have to worry about where we were going to park since we had our own dedicated space under the house. And the beach is RIGHT THERE. No having to schlep all our equipment down the road to the beach access... just out the front entryway and there you are at the sand.
We had the good fortune to spend our last 5 nights on Kauai in the two bedroom suite side. It was very comfortable and had everything that we needed while there.
One word of warning: it was VERY hard to want to leave to do anything. I was glad that we had done the majority of our "big" day trips earlier in the vacation, because when we came here it was so beautiful all we wanted to do was go out to the beach, relax on the couch, or spend time on the rooftop deck.
This is an amazing place and I feel very blessed that the owners share it with us. Can't wait to come back!
This was the most amazing vacation/honeymoon in the entire world! Originally my husband and I contacted Pete because we planned to be married in Hawaii with our two kids (10 and 15), he was so gracious giving us referrals for all the wedding accomadations etc., unfortunately our families convinced us to be married at home, but there was no way we were not keeping our plans to stay in this house! I cannot express how beautiful this house is! I read the description above again before starting this review and was thinking the entire time, "yes, exactly, yep, stargazing we were"-- just stunning! We BBQ'ed, we ate breakfast on the deck, my husband cooked everyday!
Pete set us up with everything we needed prior to our arrival. He sent a very detailed email with all the grocery stores, activities, anything you could think of he let us know about.
We had questions here and there about local entertainment and what not and Pete emailed us back right away. I just can't say enough about this experience.
I was so worried traveling with our kids for the first time this far from home and thinking of all the worst things that could happen, but when we got there, it was like home, BUT 90 MILLION TIMES the scenery. The waves crashing, the beautiful deck, the sun, even the neighbors were wonderful. Everyone was so pleasant! So basically what I am saying I guess is that if you are THINKING of going, think no more!
Mahalo Pete! Can't wait to visit "our home away from home" soon!
Oh, P.S. one piece of advice, shop at Wal-Mart for food, that's the only thing we should have done, we went to one of the closer grocery stores, which was just fine, but there was a price difference and we were just too excited to get back to the house to go to that Wal-Mart until the last day. It's right next to the airport, I tell you... excitement is the only reason we flew right by. hahaha!
WOW!!! that is the word all eight of us said the minute we walked into both units. The ocean views were unbelievable, both places were more than we expected. We had enough living space for us and the extras such as beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel equipment was a nice touch. Peter was a pleasure to deal with and responded to all of my emails thus answering my unknown questions.
We only had one problem, which was one of the dishwashers quit working but Peter was willing to get it fixed the next day but since we only had two days left we opted to limp along with the smaller unit's dishwasher.
We had a wonderful vacation and have already recommended it to friends that are looking for a place on Kauai. If you are looking for a private setting with wonderful views this is the place for you!
I hesistate to write this review because (1) I do not typically write reviews and (2) more significantly, this house is so great, I would prefer to keep it a secret so we can go back any time, which I would do in a heartbeat. We had eight people in our party, aged 2 years old to 59 and we all had a great time. We took the full house and it worked great. I was particularly impressed with how responsive the owner is. The outdoor hot showers are a real treat to rinse off in after snorkling or body surfing. Moloaa Bay is such a beautiful and secluded area and this house is a great way to experience all that the bay has to offer.
There are no words to describe the beauty of Moloaa Bay, the home and the island of Kauai. Everything is just as described. The house was clean and the owner was more than helpful when I was making the reservations. The house was well stocked and the caretaker was more than willing to fill up the propane tank for the grill. The roof top deck was great-loved sitting out in the evening with our Mai Tai's and looking at the ocean. Our favorite restaurant was Kalypso's at Hanalei Bay (recommend the fish and chips) The only thing I would change about the house is the bathroom, would like to have a stand alone shower verses the tub with shower, but would still recommend house and when we come back to Kauai I will stay here again!!
This is the most private off the beaten path beach/bay on the north shore of Kauai. It opens to the east and is usually calm with a wide variety of beach areas - from calm (perfect for the little ones) to active (great boogie boarding and body surfing). Great tide pools too !!

kitfox I draw with pen and pencil a lot. Paint not so much, but plan on getting more into it. I think I'll def. be posting a lot more traditional once I get through this book I'm reading.

Following along another another step-by-step process by Gary Tonge. Also a cast drawing and setup that needs a lot more love (not really sure what I'm doing here but hopefully that doesn't mean I'm wasting my time.) And just for fun, the Hulk and Jarvis.
November 21st, 2011 #11
The digital stuff is nice like previously but seeing that cast drawing is cool! I'm still doing Bargues but I'll should be moving into cast drawing in a few weeks. If you don't know what you're doing with the casts, checking my Bargue process might help (it's in my sketchbook). I'm pretty sure you can use a similar process for cast drawings as I've done for Bargues. At first glance there seems to be some proportional problems with it but if you wanted to nail them you'd probably have to start over since you've already went into rendering.
To get really accurate proportions and angles you'll want to spend a good while on blocking in the cast and the shadow shapes with simple straight lines. Continually progress into smaller and more accurate details until it's near perfect, only then move into rendering the values. Doing things in stages and making sure all the proportions hold together through the whole process will lead to a good drawing.

kitfox glad you like seeing the cast drawing. You're right, I think my lack of patience hurts my drawings, will likely need to learn to be patient and go through the stages better. But will now consider doing a new one once I finish this one.
Another step-by-step from Gary Tonge's book "Bold Visions". I struggled alot with this one. Need to study light more (hopefully doing the cast is helping with that.) I feel like the book has been pretty helpful to me so far.
November 22nd, 2011 #13
I think the lighting is quite good, but there's something a little unclear about the perspective. Are the "stairs" going up or to the horizon, how do they exist in space?

Level 4 (178/420) Foggy Nelson
kitfox Good question, on Gary's original painting it seems pretty clear the stairs are elevating. Should have done a better job on illustrating that on mine.
Cast update. Got frustrated trying to get even tones so took a small piece of paper and did some small squares (paper hanging) which took 1/2 hour. Was more satisfied with the squares and I started to see the importance with keeping the vine charcoal sharp at all times. Afterward did a tiny rectangle area on the background (left of the cast shadow) and was happier with it. Will take a looong time to get that done on the rest of the background but at least now I feel like it's doable.
November 24th, 2011 #15

Glad that rendering sheet was of some use. It really does take a while to carefully render out everything to get super even values. I'm about to tackle my second Bargue's rendering stage, looking at a good 5 hours of work at least I think, and there's still some things to fix up proportion wise. So just take your time with your cast drawing and have patience to work on it. You'll notice that it will slowly start looking better and better.

that space craft painting is looking awesome! I think the cast drawing is looking nice too! more shading and more value range will give it more volume, don't be discouraged, achieving a nice even tone really needs time and patience and practice of course, so keep going !

tronrobot Thanks! And drawing after a day of doing IT stuff is completely refreshing!
kitfox That's what I'm hoping, hopefully the patience pays off.
Miss.BonBon Thanks, I'm definitely learning how much patience a good drawing takes (and also a lot of thinking while drawing as well).
Didn't get to study as much as I wanted to the past few days, I need more discipline. Skeleton taken from "Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist" by Stephen Rogers Peck. I plan on taking my time going through this book to learn and be confident with anatomy. Also some faces from photo ref and a few bad gestures.

One thing that's really going to help you memorize and draw the skeleton from your mind is measuring out the proportions and making a simple system out of them. I did that a lot when I was working with Riven Phoenix's video courses and found it very helpful.
Loomis' Drawing the Head and Hands is a nice book to help with portraits and I suggest checking out Vilppu's stuff for gestures if you haven't heard of him yet.

It's not so important to know all the names of each bone and whatever.. if you thought it was. What's important is that you remember the shape and proportion of them and where they go and how they work.
Keep pushing.
Also. Try and theme every week. You get more done that way. Spend time doing anatomy and figures for one week then switch it up to still lifes one week and then go to photo studies, etc, etc. That way you get more repetition and you won't feel so overwhelmed, because you will eventually. When you start off everything feels like shit, and honestly.. it still does for me even though I've been going on for years now. But it feels better when theming up the weeks like this.
Hope that helps.
Also remember to do some stuff from your imagination after doing a study so you apply it to something.

kitfox Good idea, I can see how figuring out a simple system is helpful in order to memorize it. I'm looking forward to completely going through Loomis' "Drawing the Head and Hands", from the pages I have read so far, it has been awesome. I haven't heard much about Vilppu but will definitely look him up especially since I'm not too fond of my gestures.
ConnyNordlund I like the theme idea, I will definitely have to do it when I feel overwhelmed. And thanks for the reminder about how important it is to do stuff from imagination so the studies sink in, something I need to do more often...
The first two skeletons are Peck studies. The other ones are from imagination. I have a long way to go but at least I feel like I'm making some progress.

Spent some time on the cast. Worked on the background to the left and below the cast shadow. This needs a lot more time but I'm looking forward to it.

Very nice skeleton studies and the application after it is a good idea. While it's good to do accurate studies, I think it's also important to simplify the skeleton to an easier form to draw it more efficiently. Which is exactly what you're doing. ^^
The cast is looking better. I'll be doing cast drawings in my atelier studies after I finish my 3rd Bargue, so it's nice to see how you progress with yours.

the rendering of those skeletons are really awesome! love your studies
the cast drawing is coming along well, it's important to build up tones gradually in layers and not rushing to achieve a dark tone immediately
keep the good work up

kitfox I'm pretty sure after seeing your Bargue drawings, that your cast will destroy mine. Looking forward to seeing you work on one so I can learn a thing... or many. =)
Miss.BonBon Thanks! And I think I may have had an easier time if I didn't go so dark right away and instead built up the tones like you suggest. Will probably try that when I do another one.
Trailblazer Thanks and I'm really glad to be part of the SSG. I can already tell the group will help me stay motivated and keep me posting. Hopefully I can play a small part in helping others do the same.
Following another step-by-step from Tonge, a couple skulls from Peck (many more skulls on the way, both from ref and imagination), an update on my cast drawing, and just for fun, a couple Andabataes!

Skulls, skulls, and more skulls. Most from Peck. A few toward the end (the really bad ones) from imagination. Gonna be MIA for a week but will be back with many more (bad) imagination skulls and maybe a few sketches for fun.

Level 6 (198/660) Mary Jane Watson
Just some more skulls, mostly from imagination. (sidenote: you may get some strange looks if you're just drawing skull after skull while on a plane )
December 21st, 2011 #29
Level 6 (322/660) Mary Jane Watson
Some digi-skulls or as I like to call them... bad. I realized that instead of "line drawing" skulls digitally, I should try drawing silhouettes of them and then see if I can "carve" out the shape. Something to try for tonight. And spent a little more time on my cast.
December 22nd, 2011 #30
Good stuff, man! Just keep consistently working on things. I had unintentional break because of work related stuff and it's hard to pick up things again.
Some of the skulls look a little deformed here and there. I would suggest trying to work a bit larger and spending more time on a single sketch. It's one of the things my teacher suggested for me to do. Really try to nail the proportion and shadow masses, work simple but accurate. It can be extremely frustrating to redraw until you get it right, but I think that's where the real growth happens.

Exclusive Graceland Sneak Peek: Briggs Confronts Sid About Solano's Dirty Cop
August 19th, 2014
Daniel Sunjata
Briggs (Daniel Sunjata) has been working undercover at the LAPD for weeks to get into Sid's inner circle on Graceland, but their relationship is about to be tested in a big way.
In this exclusive sneak peek from Wednesday's new episode (10/9c, USA), Briggs — or should we say "West" — tells Sid (Carmine Giovinazzo) about the Solano cartel's sex-trafficking ring based in Sylmar (the same one that Mike is currently shacked up at). However, that's not the piece of information that makes Sid panic.

"The thing is, they would have shut it down a long time ago, but the guy who's running the joint has got a cop in his pocket," Briggs tells Sid in the clip.
How does Sid react to this reveal? And what piece of intel does he demand from Briggs? Check out the exclusive video below to find out:
Graceland airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on USA. What do you think Sid will do next?

The list goes on endlessly.
And with Roddick in another field who don't have to face these guys especially Federer, he would have a legendary career.
As TheFifthSet pointed out, the big Four have won 31 of the last 32 majors. That's an extreme case but it shows just how much a small group of players can lock up the majors, even when facing full fields.
Your list of upsets is relevant but there is no way to know whether the upset players would have won those majors, if they had won those matches. If Sampras had not faced Krajicek, I think he probably would have won the event. Nadal if he had not faced Rosol, I'm not sure.
Federer, if he had not faced Del Potro in the USO final, would have faced Nadal whom Delpo beat in the semis; and at that time I think Federer would have beaten Nadal; but the principle there is still true, he could have lost.
It's complicated because, yeah, in an open field, Laver might get upset in an early round. But then again one of his big rivals who's been beating him might be the one to get upset (like Nadal was eliminated by Soderling), clearing his way to the title.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think that if you imagine open fields for Laver, his major haul might be lower, or the same, or even higher than it actually is. I'm sure you're wondering how it might be higher, but the reason is that in an open field Laver would have 4 chances every year to win majors. In reality he won a lot of his majors with only 3 chances per year (from 1963-67).

OHKAY OWINGEH PUEBLO, NM (CNN) -- The oldest catholic parish in the United States is celebrating its 415th birthday.
The original San Juan Bautista Parish Church was built in 1598 in New Mexico by Spanish Franciscan priests. Though the original building no longer exists, the parish is recognized as the oldest in the country.
To mark its anniversary, the church got a brand new door, topped with a bronze sculpture. The sculpture depicts john the Baptist baptizing Jesus Christ.
The church marked its anniversary on Sunday.

Tag archives for Checkpoint Charlie
During the Cold War, the Berlin Wall came to represent Germany's divided nation and capital. Though mostly dismantled now, it remains a potent presence, marked by sites that hark back to a sinister time in the city's history. Here's a primer on where to go and what to read to pay homage to this bygone era.
It's difficult to imagine what this city was like in the early 1960s, when the 87-mile-long Berlin Wall was intact and bristling with barbed wire and gun emplacements. Today, the wall has essentially been shattered into tiny bits, now scattered as souvenirs around the world.
German freelance TV journalist and travel blogger Yvonne Zagermann has lived in Berlin for the last two years — the realization of a dream she's had since first visiting as a teenager. "This city doesn't expect anything from you but to be yourself," she says. Check out Yvonne's advice for getting the most out of Germany's…

Pecorino Toscano
Pecorino Toscano (Tuscan pecorino) is a firm-textured ewe's milk cheese produced in Tuscany.[1] Since 1996 it has enjoyed protected designation of origin (PDO) status.[2]
Pliny the Elder, in his major encyclopædic work Naturalis Historia, describes several stages in the production of pecorino Toscano, which he names as Lunense, apparently after the territory of Lunigiana.[3] Other early names of the cheese include "marzolino", after the month of March in which production traditionally began.[3]
Today, this style of pecorino is widely produced across Tuscany and also in several nearer districts of Umbria and Lazio.
According to a 1997 estimate by the Italian dairy producers' association, Assolatte, annual production of pecorino Toscano was 5,060 metric tons (4,980 long tons; 5,580 short tons).[3] This ranks the cheese as the third-highest sheep's cheese in Italy; the largest being Pecorino Romano (28,366 metric tons (27,918 long tons; 31,268 short tons)) and Pecorino Sardo (12,000 metric tons (12,000 long tons; 13,000 short tons)).[3]
The cheese[edit]
The cheese is prepared with full cream, pasteurized ewe's milk, often by farm-based cheese producers.
The cheese is ready to be eaten after a maturation period of just twenty days. However, it is generally regarded as a hard cheese, frequently used for grating, and to achieve this characteristic hard texture, the cheese should be left alone for at least four months.
The cheese usually takes the form of a semi-flattened sphere, typically with a diameter between 15 and 22 cm (5.9 and 8.7 in) and a height between 7 and 11 cm (2.8 and 4.3 in). The weight will normally be between 0.75 and 3.50 kg (1.7 and 7.7 lb). The outer rind is yellow coloured, but there is considerable variability according to how the outside of the cheese has been washed during maturation (generally with a combination involving crushed tomato, ash and/or olive oil).
Its uses[edit]
There is a wide range of uses for the cheese, which varies according to local traditions and the season. The delicate flavour of a young pecorino Toscano can provide an excellent complement to salad-based starters. As the cheese matures and the flavour strengthens, it can be eaten with honey or jam, as well as with fresh vegetables or fruits (especially pears and figs). Well matured pecorino Toscano is widely used across Italy as an alternative to parmesan for grating over a wide range of dishes, especially pastas or soups.

Getting ready for fall: Plant an indoor herb garden
With a sunny window and a little planning ahead, you can have fresh herbs all year round.
Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 03:57 PM
I've been busy freezing the bounty from my small herb garden with Frozen Herb Starters, but my frozen cubes of chives, basil, cilantro and other herbs won't take me all the way to next spring. I'll grow some fresh herbs on my windowsill so I can snip and cook with them whenever I want.
Herbs can be expensive to buy, especially when you need only a few tablespoons of a specific herb. You generally have to buy a large bunch and most of it is likely to go bad before you need the herb again. But the good news is that herbs are inexpensive and easy to grow.
Fix.com has a helpful infographic with tips for creating an indoor herb garden in your kitchen, including information on which herbs thrive better indoors than others.
Source: Fix.com
I especially like the idea of hanging pots from a tension rod in a sunny window. It keeps the pots off the windowsill where they can get knocked down by pets. Plus, I think it would be attractive to have pots hanging in front of the window.
When I grow herbs indoors over the winter, I always plant them in late spring where the established plants always thrive outdoors. I then start new herbs indoors in the fall. I don't know if this is necessary, but it works for me.
Do you grow herbs indoors? Which ones grow the best for you?

A Kingdom for Keflings
Ok so how do you get more book?
i got the 3 or 2 on the map
Is in love with my self
I believe when you finish building something that needs books one will appear at the town square.
This is not true. I currently have a guild building which needs one more book and a secondary school building which needs 2 more, none are at the town square and i'm kinda stuck as to what to do next for them. has anyone figured it out?
Hm, odd. I did have to find a few books, but each time I completed a building that needed them (completely built except for the books) another appeared at the town square.
I had the same problem. Over and over. 2 on the map, every time I build a building that needs any the town square puts out 1 more. Which leaves me with 5 every single time >.< 1 Short for the guild hall this time, last time it was secondary school. . . . Gah

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
I'm not sure if this'll be helpful for much of anyone, but for the longest I had only found two books. However, after some strip mining of the rocks right next to the town square a third book popped up.
So, yeah, Strip away resources and see what pops up.

I searched high and low for books in two separate instances and both times I found the cursed thing sitting in the town square as I was walking back into town in defeat. Just keep a really close eye on the town square.
I found all three books out and about, hidden between trees and rocks and such.
I put all three near the town square.
I built a primary school, and carried a book over to it. The book reappeared at the town square leaving me with two piles, one of 2 and one of 1.

Book Locations:
1: Just North of town square.
2: Strip-mine the stone quarries just East of the town square, it'll be under one of them.
3: To the North East of town square, inside a square of those purple gems
4,5,6: spawn at the town square each time you build one of the three buildings needing them.
I tested this like 20 times, exact same results every time for me.

This is all around the best fitting, toughest jacket I have ever worn. It might not be rainproof or a wind stopper but it is darn close to both. On really cold days I wear a level 3 base layer underneath and thats it, no big, bulky, puffy parks. The hood is great, and I like how it has a little bit of a brim to keep water from dripping down onto your face. I have laid in the dust and dirt and left it in the back of a dirty pickup and clean up is just a wipe down with a wet rag.
If you play or work in an area that has frequent weather changes, and know how to layer properly in really cold weather this is the jacket for you.

Are you ready to talk about your last meal? I dunno. I mean, what are the parameters?
There are none. You can travel through time, whatever . . . Well, I think, besides mom's cookingsome braised short ribs and maybe her crab cakesI'd have to have some meals that I never got a chance to eat. Like Lespinasse, when Christian Delouvrier was there, probably the opening team of Jean-Georges at Gramercy Tavern in 1998. These were all legendary crews. We just don't have restaurants like that anymore. And I'd go to other places I have never beenlike I've never done Europe before. I mean, I've done it like a bum, going from hostel to hostel, but I would go and do the fine dining there: Pierre Gagnaire, L'Arpége, Michel Bras. That's just the start. There are so many places I've never been to. I've never eaten at El Bulli. I'd make sure all the friends were there for the whole trip, of course, and we'd just go everywhere. And be drunk the whole time. I mean, I'm on my deathbed, so I might as well.
Sure, there would be no hang-over to deal with. Yeah, and we'd end up in Beijing, eating crawfish and drinking a nice bottle of Bai Jiu, which is basically distilled anything. It could be rusty nails.
Is that something you've done before? Oh, yeah.
Tell me more about what you'd have your mom make you. She makes these ridiculously good crab cakesjust a little egg, a little mayo, lots of blue crab. And her short ribs, of course I could really just eat that, a bowl of rice, her kimchi, and call it a day. But if I had an unlimited budget and a time-travel option, why not go for it? I could go onlike, I would definitely have to have some fried chicken, too, and french fries, and some really good bread and butter. Warm bread and salted butter. Maybe a fish taco going on there, and an ice-cold beer. OhTaishoken, at Higashi-Ikebukuro. I'd have to have a bowl of ramen there. It's closed now.
Oh, good use of that time machine! Yeah, we'd do it all. From pork rinds to the highest of the high. Why not?
