Remember Me
A Positive Rage captures the excitement and high spirits of both the band and their fans in the days surrounding the release of their third full-length, Boys and Girls in America, (Vagrant) and ensuing world tour in 2006.
The 53-minute documentary begins with The Hold Steady's first ever London performances with never-before-seen live footage, back stage interviews with the band members, fan commentary and the original, raw audio. Cameras follow the band as they return to the U.S. for a 24-date tour that culminates on screen with an especially poignant performance at First Avenue in Minneapolis.
The live album was recorded on October 31, 2007 and includes seventeen songs that Craig Finn, Tad Kubler, Galen Polivka, Franz Nicolay, and Bobby Drake performed on the second of their two-night sold-out stand at the Metro in Chicago. The enhanced album will also feature five bonus studio tracks: "Ask Her For Adderall," "Cheyenne Sunrise," "Two Handed Handshake," and the previously unreleased tracks "Spectres" and "40 Bucks."
The booklet features personal photos and the band's memories of the tour, including this excerpt from Craig Finn... "It ended up being a fantastic suburban blow out with band and audience on the floor, Frisbee and tailgating in the adjoining parking lot, and everyone singing along to every song.... It reminded me of the hardcore shows I loved as a kid, everyone sweating and screaming together in a rented hall. And drinking in the parking lot, of course. The next night worlds converged..."

Hold Steady!
this is great. as a recent covert, I can't get enough of these guys. stay positive!
I've got the chance to see them recently, at the start of their tour with drive by truckers, and they rock so damn hard. i can't wait to hear this, i couldn't ask for a better setlist
I just listened to "Killer Parties", pretty cool tune. But on the track listing above they call it "Killer Parities". That could be a good idea for a song too but I think it's a typo. I'll have to check these guys out at Mountain Jam.
can't wait for mtn jam...me and my friends are like, double wiskey, coke no ice.

Bit by bigger boat bug - strip the old boat or refit new one?
I found a Venture 21 in good shape and bought it to replace my Venture 17. It still fits in my garage too! If my V17 has 100,000 miles on it, this 21 has 10,000 miles. It looks like someone bought it in 1976 and parked it under a tree and never used it. There isn't a single modification to anything - no compass, no extra add-ons, nothing. It has a 2011 VA registration sticker so someone kept registering it every year, but it couldn't have been used more than once a season. All 3 original sails in great shape in original bags.
Here's the query - My 17 (bought in '09) came with a lot of the random stuff one accumulates on a sailboat - swim ladder, emergency paddle, spare parts and hardware, more life preservers than 3 boats should have, etc.. And I added a few things like a sail feeder, expensive cam cleats, LED Nav lights, a handheld VHF, and more.
The new 21, has nothing other than a fire extinguisher and a VHF from 1976 that I have no faith in working.
My budget for sailing things is very tight so I'm looking at the most frugal way to equip the new boat and sell the old boat. I've made the old boat quite nice - I made a new rudder and replaced all the wood with teak - its very pretty now.
Have you been in a similar situation where you sold the old boat loaded down with gear and pulled out the catalogs and started shopping? Or did you strip the old boat back to nothing? The V17 I have for sale locally for $1750.
Either way the 17 will be in ready-to-sail condition - at least by the manufacturers definition. (but likely not the coast guards)
I'm thinking of things like "I can take the new LED trailer lights off the 17 and put this old pair back on it - that will save me $40" but I can't grasp the point at which removing all the nickels and dimes from the old one hurts it's value to the point where it's no longer a good deal. There are no comparables around - not in Pennsylvania in early March, at least. If someone in this county wants to spend their tax refund on a sailboat for overnighting with their spouse and a kid out on the lake and then tow it home with a minivan - I've got the only one in sail away condition.
Keep the expenses low and the good times high.

Bangalore Bureau
Roads flooded and power supply hit after rain on Wednesday, Thursday
Bangalore: It was a long evening home on Thursday for Bangaloreans whose patience and nerves were stretched due to incessant rain. They had to negotiate flooded and crumbling roads and a gridlock.
On Wednesday, the city received close to 70 mm of rainfall. On Thursday, the city received 42.7 mm rainfall. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) control rooms were flooded with complaints. Minister for Transport and city in-charge R. Ashok visited the control room and even attended to a few calls.
The Minister told presspersons that the civic authority would take steps to remove all encroachments on drains and Raja Kaluves in the city within two years. BBMP Commissioner Bharat Lal Meena said that earthmovers and tractors would be provided to each zone of the civic body.
There were reports of water-logging from Padmanabhangar, Girinagar, J.P. Nagar, BTM Layout, Vijaynagara and Magadi Road.
There were reports of fall of four trees from Jayangagar and one each in J.P. Nagar, Vijayanagar, Koramangala, R.T. Nagar and Bapujinagar. In many areas, electricity supply was hit after tree branches fell on the distribution lines.
Meanwhile, several buses were stranded at the Kempe Gowda Bus Station for over an hour.
Vehicular movement on major roads of the city was affected.
Those going to the Bengaluru International Airport had a tough time because of slow-moving traffic on Bellary Road. Passengers who missed their flights were accommodated in other flights.
There was a huge traffic jam on Seshadri Road.
A private taxi, a truck and a mini lorry were found struck between the Fire Station and the Maharani's College.
Movement of traffic was affected on Dr. Rajkumar Road, K.H. Road, Magadi Road, Sirsi Circle, Mysore Road, Bandepalya, Mangammanapalya, Nandidurg Road, R.T. Nagar and Kasturba Road.
Several homes in Shankaranagara near Mahalakshmi Layout,Gayathrinagar, Geleyara Balaga, Muniswamappa Layout, Bapujinagar, Shamanna Garden, Gangondanahalli,Nagavarapalya and Mahadevapura were inundated.
Mr. Meena visited a few of the affected areas on Thursday to assess the damage.

SonoSite Is Said to Seek Buyers, Hold Talks With Samsung
Nov. 3 (Bloomberg) -- SonoSite Inc., a U.S. bedside ultrasound and cardiograph equipment maker, is up for sale and in talks with potential buyers including Samsung Electronics Co., said three people with knowledge of the matter. The stock jumped the most in 13 years.
SonoSite, with a market value of $427 million as of yesterday, hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. to advise it on a possible sale, said the people, who declined to be identified because the talks are private. SonoSite, based in Bothell, Washington, is asking for second-round bids and aims to reach a sale agreement by mid-December, one of the people said.
SonoSite is attracting interest from bidders looking to expand in medical equipment, an area that may grow as the proportion of elderly residents in markets from the U.S. to Europe and Japan climbs and health-care providers seek to reduce costs through better diagnostic technology. The number of people 65 and older will account for 8.3 percent of the world's population by 2014, compared with 7.9 percent this year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data compiled by Bloomberg.
The company's shares increased 30 percent to $39.95 at the close in New York, the biggest single-day gain since April 1998.
SonoSite introduced an improved hand-carried ultrasound system and a new cardiograph tool this year. The company's research and development costs rose 27 percent from a year earlier to $10.7 million in the third quarter, according to an Oct. 25 statement. Net income fell 24 percent to $720,000.
Medical Expansion
Marcus Smith, SonoSite's chief financial officer, didn't return a call requesting comment. Tasha Pelio, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, declined to comment.
SonoSite would be an attractive target for companies seeking to offer diagnostic tools that help customers reduce health-care costs, said Alan Robinson, an analyst at RBC Wealth Management in Seattle.
"It doesn't surprise me that SonoSite management is making overtures to larger acquirers at this stage," in part because the company will lose patent protection on its hand-carried ultrasound devices in 2016, he said.
"As their patent portfolio starts to come up to expiry, I think management will be increasingly focused on maximizing their technological lead, and to do this, I think they'll need a deeper-pocketed partner," Robinson said in an interview.
Samsung's Plans
"Samsung continuously reviews various business opportunities," Jason Kim, a Seoul-based spokesman for the company, said by telephone. "However, we don't comment on speculation or rumors about our business."
Samsung Chairman Lee Kun Hee plans to build the company's medical-equipment business into one that generates 10 trillion won ($8.8 billion) in annual sales by 2020 as overall revenue growth slows. The company, which doesn't break out medical-equipment revenue, is in talks to buy makers of MRI scanners and X-ray machines to challenge General Electric Co. and Siemens AG in medical equipment, Senior Vice President Jo Jae Moon said in an interview in July.
The Suwon-based company is making a push into an industry led by General Electric, which had $16.9 billion of revenue from health care last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Siemens had 12.3 billion euros ($17 billion) in revenue from medical solutions in 2010, a 3.4 percent increase.
Johnson & Johnson, the world's second-biggest seller of health products, agreed in April to buy Synthes Inc., a maker of medical tools to treat damaged bones, for $21.3 billion. The deal would make New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J the leader in the $5.5 billion market for devices that treat trauma victims.

You spend countless hours planning digital campaigns to promote your products. Isn't it time to spread the word about your social media presence, too?
There's a significant amount of cross-pollination in the digital media space. Brands like to help each other out. They do it because they're drawn to success - the success of social media properties, for example, in obtaining a critical mass of users. Like those users, consumer brands also have the capacity to recognize the potential in a good online product or service. Hence, they create Facebook pages and Twitter feeds and YouTube channels galore.
Whether they realize it or not, consumer brands endorse media brands by utilizing their services. Media brands, in turn, rise in stature due to their usage by consumer brands. It's a win-win situation made even more promising when digital marketers choose to actively leverage it. Promoting a brand's participation in social media helps to increase exposure and create a following, yes. But it must be taken seriously.
In other words, as important as it is to create a campaign around your product itself, the value of doing the same for your media affiliations shouldn't be overlooked. Treat them as a media buy in their own right and you can earn a sizeable return on investment.
Motivate Like Zulily
How better to incite engagement with your social media affiliation than by offering a tangible reward? Zulily, a daily deals site centered on products for kids and moms, sent out an email to its subscribers not only promoting its Pinterest boards but promising a $15 credit to everyone who posts a pin of a Zulily-related image that successfully generates a subscription and purchase from the site. To make things easier for its users, the brand linked to a selection of "pinables" - in essence, static banner ads - perfect for posting to Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, or sharing by email. And to further emphasize its offer, Zulily features in its daily emails a credit balance box with links to Facebook and Twitter and the call to action, "Tell your friends."
This strategy increases awareness of Zulily's Pinterest boards and other social pages. More than that, though, it creates exposure by enlisting its users to distribute its images across the web. As self-appointed brand ambassadors, these users wield an influence over their peers so powerful it can translate directly into additional loyal customers and sales.
Highlight Like Thrillist and DailyCandy
Every brand worth its salt now links to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, etc. within email promotions and on their sites. Consumers are accustomed to seeing these links, to the point where they're apt to overlook them. If they're enamored with your content, most will seek out a way to share it of their own accord. This trend is bolstered when brands take measures to encourage social sharing among those consumers who might not be quite as quick to make the connection.
One way to do this is by supplementing social site links with a house banner ad. Male-oriented lifestyle publication Thrillist does this with a 300x250 button at the bottom of its emails driving readers to its Facebook page. "Bonus picks, photos, and prizes" can be had by visiting the site, Thrillist says, and in case consumers are still hesitant about clicking the iconic thumbs-up symbol for "Like," is accompanied by a verbal nudge to "Do it." It may not be delicate, but you can bet it's effective and could work just as well for any number of social media sites and services to which a brand subscribes.
DailyCandy takes a similar approach by dedicating some of its email ad space to a banner touting its Pinterest boards. Instead of simply including a link to this new social media content in its existing social sharing box at the bottom of the email template, the media property chooses to highlight it with its own above-the-fold banner. The result is a bold invitation to explore its content in another form - one that promotes an even higher level of online sharing than its own emails.
You spend countless hours planning digital campaigns to promote your products. Isn't it time to spread the word about your social media presence, too?

Mitsubishi starts production of North American i-MiEV
By Gizmag Team
October 30, 2011
Mitsubishi has kicked-off production of the North American version of its i-MiEV electric vehicle (EV). Slightly larger than Japanese and European models, the North American i-Miev will be launched in Hawaii, California, Washington and Oregon from late November before being rolled-out in other parts of the United States and Canada next year.
The all-electric i-Miev is powered by a 49kW AC synchronous motor fed by a 16 kWh lithium-ion Battery. It has a top speed of around 80 mph (130 km/h) and its range is approximately 80 - 100 miles on a single charge. As well as being slightly roomier, the North America version now being produced at Mitsubishi's Mizushima Plant in Japan gets new front and rear bumpers, Active Stability Control (ASC) as standard, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and "smart" airbags that sense passengers' seating position and control deployment force accordingly. Mitsubishi says it also produces more torque (196 Nm) than it's European and Asian counterparts.
The i-Miev ES model is priced at US$29,125 ($21,625 after the $7,500 federal tax credit) and the top-spec SE version costs US$31,125 ( $23,625 after the $7,500 federal tax credit). There's also a US$2,790 "Premium package" which adds a HDD navigation system, rear camera, USB port, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and a DC quick charging port.
How about everybody stop subsidizing your petroleum burning foolishness? Stop subsidizing it directly with oil subsidies and tax breaks for big oil. Stop subsidizing it with wars in far flung corners of the world.
How about that for \"subsidizing foolishness\", eh?Gary Payton
I imagine that tax payer funded medical for pollution related respiratory disease is getting hard to swallow as well.Chuck Wright
Those of you who believe electric vehicles are so good please pay for them yourself. I am sick of subsidizing your foolishness.Slowburn
Slow, I imagine that tax payer funded subsidies to oil companies are getting a bit hard to swallow by even you.Buellrider
Why does the Australian iMiev cost $48000 when they can be bought in US for $29000? The correctly priced capital cost plus running costs of iMiev will be lower than a similar sized petrol car.Matthew Bulat
We can\'t know if EVs are competitive without a free market. Unfortunately no such market exists. Energy production has the same problem. The best we can do is choose based on our individual situation. I want an EV so that I can produce my fuel from the sun at home. The lack of maintenance also allows more independence. That is my goal.voluntaryist
re; voluntaryist
You can do that today with an ICE vehicle. Use solar power to separate hydrogen from water. Granted the up front costs are relatively high so you are probably better off using the electricity directly, or selling it to the utility and buying gas, but if you have the generating capacity go for it.Slowburn
The subsidies given to big oil are in the form of reduction of the tax burden. The subsidies given for electric cars are significant bundles of money being given out.
There is a difference, but it doesn\'t matter because I am apposed to both.
If I had the power I would end all government subsidies, and remove taxes on business because business passes the costs on to the consumer and I think we should see what taxes we are paying.Slowburn

LOCAL personalities and gym members alike had a great time at the launch of the latest club dance-exercise sensation called Sh'bam at Celebrity Fitness.
Well-known faces like Soo Wincci, Thanuja Ananthan, Vanessa Chong, Julie Woon, Baki Zainal, Ben Ibrahim, Tony Eusoff and Juliana Ibrahim were among those spotted grooving on the studio floor.
Sh'bam (pronounced as She-bam) is an uptempo dance, mixed with modernised Latin beats, and accompanied by the hottest music played at nightclubs around the world.
A typical Sh'bam class lasts for 45 minutes, featuring 12 different tracks.
Celebrity Fitness managing director Choi Kwang Ho said: "Celebrity Fitness is the first to bring this hot dance class to Asia."
He said Sh'bam is already available in Europe and the United States.
"This unique dance class is also a Les Mills programme. Sh'bam features a series of simple yet exciting moves, and is definitely a fun and sociable way to exercise."
Choi assured that Sh'bam is for people of all fitness levels, even if one is dance challenged.
"Our dance instructor will introduce members to the basic choreography and coach them through each step; it is up to them to add their own style," he said.
"Among the benefits participants will experience from the Sh'bam class is increase in metabolism to encourage consistent fat burning, improvement in one's coordination, and increase in cardiovascular fitness."
Celebrity Fitness Group 'X' country manager Krishan Malhotra said after the launch, a series of roadshows will be held to promote the Sh'bam class at all Celebrity Fitness gyms and trainings will be conducted for all its instructors.
"We are looking at introducing the Sh'bam class proper in June, and tentatively scheduled for three times a week," he said.
"The classes will be open to all Celebrity Fitness members.
"We foresee the Sh'bam class to be well received based on the feedback in the countries that are already conducting the classes, as they are easy, fun and offer a great workout."

San Diego's DivX acquired for $323 million
S.D. video software firm joining Sonic Solutions
Sonic Solutions has been betting on growth in its RoxioNow business, which is a turnkey platform for retailers so they can sell downloads of movies and TV shows over the Internet while protecting the content from piracy.
Sonic Solutions aims to get its RoxioNow software embedded in more consumer electronics devices. DivX's long relationships with consumer electronics companies, which already license compression software, could help Sonic Solutions expand its RoxioNow software, analysts say.
DivX has 350 employees, mostly in San Diego. Novato-based Sonic Solutions, which has 600 employees, doesn't plan to close the San Diego office, said Dave Habiger, company president and CEO.
But there will probably be layoffs in administration and possibly some in research and development, analysts say. DivX Chief Executive Kevin Hell, Chief Financial Officer Dan Halvorson and Senior Vice President of Operations David Richter will leave after the merger.
Cable, the Global Hunter analyst, said it has been difficult to make money distributing quality video such as movies and TV over the Internet for downloading, in part because providers must share revenue with movie and TV studios, retailers and device makers. They also have bandwidth costs.
He noted, however, that other large companies including Amazon.com, Walmart and Best Buy have placed significant bets that consumers will use the Internet for movie and TV downloads.

Ok, so we're up early because the restaurant opens at 6.30am. I think we're up at 7, plan is to eat, put on new filter skins and be moving around 8am. There is however a minor problem, Lectrolux cafe is locked, no sign of anyone inside. Ok, we'll load up the bikes, do the filter skins and they'll be open soon. By about 7.45am we're starting to consider bailing upto the Border Inn when finally around 8am, the managers of the Lectrolux decide to open. No "sorry we're opening late" or anything like that. Oh well, breakfast of home made granola and yogurt was pretty tasty.
We gas up at the Sinclair, which I believe is also owned by the same person who owns Silver Jacks and we're off.
Here is the route for today:
Almost right away, we can't find the track. We wander around for a couple of minutes but we're starting to be seasoned loser's when it comes to TAT routing, if at first you can't succeed, rapidly give up. We detour on Hwy 21 for a mile or so (we're pretty close to Garrison) and pick up the trail on the other side of Pruess Lake.
First third of today is pretty much two track through the sage within the Great Basin, great riding.
Big Springs ranch:
The Troughs:
Checking out the map, at this point we're a few miles from the long straight down Indian Springs Fence Line Road:
We're making pretty good time, the riding is pretty easy but you constantly have to scan ahead, washes running across the track are common place. We're standing on the pegs probably most of today and the visibility helps for sure:
Indian Springs Fence Line road, Patterson Peak in the distance.
There is a big bike bypass around this next section. Right as you approach Patterson Peak the trail becomes very hard to follow and you're zig-zagging through trees on what used to be a road but is now probably only passable on a quad. I wish I'd taken some pics here. Someone (maybe Docking Pilot?) had marked the initial part of the trail with yellow construction tape which was great
Here is the only pic I have from this section which was taken a few minutes in where the trail flattened out for a second:
Gouge Eye Well, between Patterson Peak and Patterson Pass:
Patterson Pass:
After Patterson Pass, we drop down to an intersection of some larger dirt roads and we start heading North to Ely on Cave Valley Road:
I think at some point just after here some kind of bug gets under my Koerta and starts nibbling on my back. I pull over and start stripping off. Shortly after Brian bends over and one of his contacts falls out. Brian is pretty smart and computes the approximate vector and distance the contact would have gone in the wind so we spend 15 minutes grubbing around in the dirt looking for it. Just as he's about to give up he discovers it nowhere near there, rather it's sitting just under his rear tire. It's windy so I get to try and block the wind as he cleans and reinstalls. Unfortunately there is a problem and the lens isn't working? Initially Brian suspects its in backwards but it turns out he put it into the eye that already had a contact
Anyways, it was all pretty amusing.
We get moving again and shortly after I come around a bend in the road, doing maybe close to 45 and there are 6 cows in the middle of the road. Brian doesn't show up and I realize I missed a left turn, so I head back to find Brian waiting at the intersection. Silly me, I got all caught up in a nice fast road where we could make some good time ....
We turn West towards Lund which is West over the next mountain range over mostly jeep trails:
Basque Canyon:
A steep rocky downhill near Lone Pine Swale. I dropped the bike here, I couldn't figure out why and neither could Brian:
We start descending town towards Sawmill Canyon:
Sawmill Canyon:
Over the range and a short straight section into Lund:
We stop for lunch at Whipples Country Store in Lund. It has gas (87, no premium). It's pretty packed when we get in, we're both tired. My blood sugar must be low as I'm a teeny bit cranky. There is one guy working who has to handle the prep, cooking and also the register for the grocery part of the store. As a result it takes *forever* to get our food, eventually it arrives, the food plus a few refils of sugar water help banish my crankyness.
As is often the case in towns, the routing is messed up. We ride around Lund for a bit, Brian seems keen to stay on the track. We get stuck at a dead end in someones private property. Brian takes a detour down a drainage service line. He gasses it through this ditch but it's way deep and the next thing he's 10 foot to the left and the bike is on top of him. Fortunately he's unhurt:
I have a different idea so I turn around, get back to the highway and head North towards Preston. One more issue where a diagonal road is basically long closed but pretty soon we're on the route again heading NW on country road 10 which is fast well graded gravel as is county road 11. Eventually we split off 11 and head North on some FS roads towards the California Spring FS Facility. Lots of open range ranching here:
We're close to US50 now. I see a truck heading across it at one point, seems maybe a couple miles away. We stop for a pic:
Couple miles is on the direct route but of course we don't go that way, rather we head West. It's fun two track, standing on the pegs, fast:
Eventually we end up at US50:
We head East on US50 for a couple of miles where the trail then heads North. It's late by this point, we have maybe 30 minutes of daylight left. We decide to press ahead but we both agree there will be no major offroad night riding on this trip
Just after the trail turns West at Lagari Well, I stop and discuss with Brian that maybe proceeding isn't smart. We have maybe 20 minutes of light ahead, we can see it's raining hard over the mountains. We're at 5921 feet and Newark Summit, the highest point on the road is 7469 feet and probably 25 miles away. We decide to turn back and take US50 into Eureka. Probably a good decision as it's twilight shortly after we turn onto US50 and fully dark/raining for the last few miles into Eureka. Losers!
I'd forgotten how small Eureka is. Somewhere in the back of my head I recall thinking about making a reservation but my buddy Toddler had assured me we'd need no reservations for the entire trip (this was right before he made a reservation for Salida
). It's also Saturday. As we roll through town we see that the Sundown has no vacancies. Only other option is the Best Western. They have 2 smoking rooms left, $100. Ouch. Brian unpacks while I go upstairs to give the rooms the sniff test to figure out which is the least obnoxious. I'm not entirely convinced Brian delegating this task to Dr Gasoline was his smartest idea but I give it the old college try.
Room is nice, spacious. We hit the hot tub for a while. Then head out for dinner. This would be the start of our mexican run. La Fiesta is the universal recommendation and it's probably some of the best Mexican I've had it a while.
Today was a great day. One of the top 3 days of the trip for me (the other so far being Green River to Richfield).
We get back from dinner and hit the sack. Tomorrow we have a short day planned to Battle Mountain where we'll do some bike maintenance.

A/C CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL COMPETES IN THE 16TH ANNUAL ILLINOIS ENVIROTHON Five members from A/C Central High School traveled to Monticello, Illinois and competed with 15 other teams from across Illinois at the 16th Illinois Envirothon Competition. This two-day environmental competition for high school students determined which team advances to represent Illinois and compete at the Canon Envirothon for college scholarships and Canon prizes August 1-7, 2010 in Fresno, California. The Canon Envirothon is North America's largest high school environmental education competition featuring teams from across the United States and Canada competing for prizes and college scholarships. Taylorville High School placed first, Cissna Park High School finished second and third place was Triad High School. Team members from the A/C Central High School included: Teagan Smith, Morgan Wessel, Brandon Smith, Kelsey Handy and Sarah Pherigo along with their advisor, Jennifer Waters The Envirothon program combines classroom learning with hands-on field experiences focused around five major topics - Aquatics, Forestry, Soils, Wildlife and a Current Environmental Issue. This year the current issue was "Protection of Groundwater through Urban, Agricultural and Environmental Planning". The first day the five member teams rotated through five outdoor testing stations, where their knowledge is evaluated and scored through written examination. Additionally, the competition includes an oral presentation compone nt that challenges students to effectively apply and communicate a solution to a complex environmental issue. Stacy Stremsterfer, Illinois Envirothon Coordinator stated, "The Envirothon experience enhances a student's critical thinking and problem solving skills and gives the students exposure to careers in environmental science and natural resource management they might not see in the classroom setting." She went on to add, "This program is also expanding student's knowledge about the world that surrounds us. These students will become tomorrow's leaders, workers and consumers who are better equipped to make informed decisions." Schools who participated at the 16th Illinois Envirothon include: Dixon High School, Midland High School, Cissna Park High School, West Prairie High School, El-Paso-Gridley High School, Monticello High School, Shiloh High School, AC Central High School, Taylorville High School, Edwards County High School, Triad High School, Clay City High School, Grayville High School, Murphysboro High School and Woodstock High School.

Do not back up. Severe tire damage.
"There are times when our reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind." Patrick Rothfuss
I had havarti on Triscuits, accompanied by steamed broccoli and cauliflower.
Dessert was a handful of kettle corn.
Sorry unagie - I'm not raising the bar here.
ETA: the letter "s" because TR is a literal guy.

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.
― Hafiz
And then I stumbled across a box of girl scout cookies (samosas) that somehow got lost in my cupboard. So I ate 2/3 of the box for dessert.
So much for the glamour of working with diplomats...
Maybe something a little more healthy tonight.
That was last night.
Desert was a handful of kettle corn
I'm looking, but I just can't see it
fake poutine
TR - Keep looking.

I like the new watermark. the first one was a bit overpowering.
I love your pics!!! They always bring such joy to those of us who cannot be at the park all that often.

Hybrid: Which one is better setup,Multi/Poly or Poly/Multi?
View Single Post
Join Date: Apr 2010

Been hybriding for last 6+ years. For last year, i have been using lots of syn gut mains/poly cross and multi mains/poly cross and I really like this setup. I get feel and softness from the multi with added control and spin from the poly. I call this the poor mans Federer setup which is gut mains/poly cross. I have played gut mains/poly cross many times and love it but too expensive. Currently using NRG2 17G multi mains 51 lbs/TF RuffCode 17G poly 47 lbs and I really like it - very good for first 8-10 hours. Then OK until multi bites the dust around 14-15 hours.
I did use poly mains/multi cross a lot in my previous racket where I wanted to tone down the rackets inherit power a bit.
I think if you are an all court player that volleys a fair amount, the best setups are 1. gut/poly, 2. multi/poly, and 3. syn gut/poly. The softer mains provide much better feel at net.
If you depend on a power baseline game or you really need to tone down the power level of your racket, the best setups are 1. poly/multi, and 2. poly/syn gut. If you are rich, poly/gut, but this is a waste of gut for most of us as the the mains determine approximately 75% of a rackets feel.

Pimples everywhere!
By Lauren
from Minneapolis, MN
Comments about Perricone MD Intensive Pore Treatment:
I decided to try this product on one half of my face as an experiment. After about 3 days I noticed my skin breaking out on the side I put this product on and not the other. I thought it was a coincidence so I kept using it. Now half of my face is acne ridden and the other half is fine. My pores don't look any better. Wouldn't recommend this product. Don't see anything positive about it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No real results
By BettyeB
from Lawrence, KS
I haven't seen any visible results from this product. I had hoped that it would shrink my pores and smooth my skin, but everything is the same after two weeks of use. Maybe I haven't used it long enough? Too expensive for the dearth of results.

Speed the Light
Speed the Light is the Assemblies of God's premier discipleship tool, in teaching this next generation of youth to give generously and sacrifice deeply for God's mission. Everyone has The Human Right to know Jesus. In an age where compassion and justice capture this generation's heart and attention, STL can and should be this next generation's "compassionate demonstration" of the gospel.
Compassion should fuel our STL giving. The greatest injustice in the world is for someone to die without hearing the Gospel (John 1:12). Compassion manifests not only when we provide humanitarian services like food and drinking water, but ultimately our greatest act of compassion is providing the Gospel to see souls saved and lives changed.
Demonstration of the Gospel is our call as Spirit-filled believers. We do not merely preach the Gospel, we demonstrate it with the power afforded us in Acts 1:8. Every human being has the right to see and hear the gospel; to know Jesus.
We have 43 missionary units in the OMN. These men and women have given their lives for The Human Right. We made a promise to them to provide the resources they need to get the job done. We are currently in need of raising over $500,000 in STL funds for approved missionary projects. We presently have 2 missionary units still waiting to receive their first vehicle.
Our current STL Project is newly appointed missionaries, Kiel & Niina Downey to Thailand. God has called them specifically to live among the Muslims of Southern Thailand. Currently, there is no existing church of believers among this people group. They will be joining a new church planting initiative and will help launch the very first ministry team into Southern Thailand. When the Kiel & Niina arrive in country, they will need a STL vehicle. Together we can help our missionaries get this vehicle.
Here you can download the Downey's STL Project Bio.
You can follow the Downeys on Facebook.
For more information about STL visit www.stl.ag.org
Note: All STL offering checks should be made out to STL. Send your offerings to: STL 1445 N. Boonville Ave., Springfield, MO 65802. All offerings must be postmarked by December 31st in order to receive giving credit for that year.
Missions 1:2:3 Strategy
How do Youth ministries use STL in their churches to effectively raise funds for missionaries, teach about finances, and not burden the church?
Here is how: it's called Missions 1:2:3.
What is Missions 1:2:3?
Simply it is: 1 leader, 2 minute sermons, and 3 month goals.
1 Leader:
This ideally is a children's pastor/worker who can empower volunteer leaders, and students. This is a leader who can make a faith-stretching goal, a leader who can model the desired behavior before their kids. This most likely will need to be a key leader.
2 Minutes:
You ask, "Why not once a month? Why each week?" Each week creates a habit that is important. Some kids may want to give but might not be present the week you receive the offering, if it's done only once a month. Plus, receiving the offering each week keeps the need in front of them.
Take 2 minutes to present an offering sermon. This is not a typical offering appeal, but a mini-sermon. To help you with these 2 minute offering sermons, Next Generation Ministries has developed 52 offering sermons. This way all you will need to do is schedule time for the offering, present the 2 minute sermon and receive the offering each week. Download Missions 1:2:3 2-Minute Sermons
3 Month Goals:
There is nothing magical about 3 months; it's simply easy for kids to remember shorter goals then year-long goals. 3 month goal setting is something you can repeat throughout the year. Maybe have a 3 month goal focus 3 to 4 times a year.
Now, you may be wondering, what role do church offerings and fundraisers play? If we follow the Missions 1:2:3 strategy this becomes the foundation of giving; the church offering becomes the cheering section and a couple well planned fundraisers become icing on the cake rather then the cake itself.
Let's make sure to teach this Next Generation to be biblical givers; To give in a way that honors and pleases God.

There is increasing pressure on the British Government to reveal who gave permission for military personnel captured in Iran to sell their stories.
A committee of MPs has described the decision as a disturbing failure of judgement.
The sailors and marines were taken prisoner in March for allegedly straying into Tehran's waters.
David Liddington, Tory spokesman on foreign affairs, agrees they shouldn't have been able to profit from their ordeal.

Teaching Young Scientists In Tahiti
A University of California, Berkeley, project to catalog nearly every living thing on the Polynesian island of Moorea is enlisting the help of the island's 5th graders and showing them that science is not for foreigners only.
While conducting research for his thesis and for the Moorea Biocode Project, UC Berkeley graduate student Brad Balukjian has been teaching 5th graders at the Paopao Primary School about biodiversity and introducing them to the scientific study of the plants and animals they see every day.

At an end-of-year science fair on June 25, Balukjian's students proudly presented their collections of Moorean insects and plants to parents and fellow students. Each student had also collected a specimen specifically for the Moorea Biocode Project database, so that its DNA profile could be entered along with the student collector's name.
"They are immortalized in the biocode database," Balukjian said.
Balukjian, who had to polish his high school French to conduct two weekly science classes to kids whose native tongue is Tahitian, noticed a distinct change in his students' attitude toward science during the school year. Previously, the youngsters had little background in the subject.
At the beginning, they questioned whether "there is such a thing as a Tahitian scientist," Balukjian said. "I designed the class to change their perception that science is something that adults and foreigners do. At the end, they were saying that it's fun to be a scientist."
Students explain their insect and plant collections at the end-of-year Exposition des Sciences in June. While Balukjian will return to the mainland on July 13, National Science Foundation funding for outreach to the Moorean schools, through the Exploring California Biodiversity program, will continue, according to Betsy Mitchell, outreach coordinator for the Berkeley Natural History Museums.
In Moorea at the June 25 "Exposition des Sciences," both the Tahitian Minister of Culture and Education Jean-Marius Raapoto and the vice-mayor of Moorea, Alexandre Hanere, showed up to listen to the students explain their projects, Balukjian said.
"The kids really enjoyed showing off what they had done," he said.
All the projects dealt with the biodiversity of the island, with which Tahitian kids already are familiar because they have grown up playing outdoors, unlike many kids in the United States, Balukjian said.
"There's something extra special about teaching biodiversity in an island context, because there are a lot of plants and animals that are unique to an island, they are endemic," said Balukjian, who admits to a bias toward islands dating from his childhood in Rhode Island, when he convinced fishermen to drop him off on one of the state's many islands to explore the animal life. "It was great to be able to say that we are going to focus on the biodiversity of your island, here in Moorea."

Balukjian came to Moorea to study the island's endemic insects "" specifically, an undescribed plant-sucking insect in the true bug family, Hemiptera "" to find out why some of them survive and even thrive while many other native insects disappear in the face of introduced insects.
"Maybe they are generalists and can eat new introduced plants while other insects can't," he said. DNA collected from the insects may reveal answers as well as the million-year history of these insects, many of which are found throughout the Polynesian Islands.
All his data, plus that of the 5th grade students, will be entered into the biocode database, which is being compiled by scientists at UC Berkeley's Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station, where Balukjian works, and France's CNRS-EPHE Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l'Environnement (CRIOBE).
Balukjian's teaching stint fits with the spirit of that project, and with the teaching experience required of all UC Berkeley graduate students.
"There is no doubt that my on-the-ground training in communication was enormous," Balukjian said, given that he had to invent the curriculum in collaboration with the Moorean school. "When I go back to the States and give a presentation, it will be like a walk in the park by comparison. It was truly valuable to have that challenge."
