Zipp 60 Carbon/Alloy Clincher Wheels - Pair inc Tyres - Campagnolo Fitting
- Next Day & World Wide Shipping
- Excellent Customer Service
- Buy in Store
The new Zipp 60 Clincher allows you to experience a precision-engineered, high-performance carbon rim at a price that won't create financial drag. The 58mm dimpled hybrid toroidal rim is based on aerodynamic principles validated in the wind tunnel and with scores of race wins. Based on our quarter-century of aero expertise, the 60 Clincher is stiff and durable yet nimble thanks to continuous and strenuous product development. An all-new hub makes the 60 Clincher as durable as it is fast. This versatile wheelset is perfect for the road racer, the triathlete or gran fondo enthusiast who simply loves to ride.
At the heart of the 60 is the light, smooth and tough new hub, which is 10 or 11-speed compatible. Its shell is formed from ultra-strong and lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum. Sapim CX-Ray spokes maintain stiffness required for efficient power transfer. External nipples better support each spoke as it exits the rim. Stainless steel bearings ensure years of smooth riding. This hub is precision set, so it requires no pre-load adjustment.
The 60 is inspired by our pioneering rim that's won races around the globe. Zipp's M2CM™ technology fuses the aluminum hoop to the inner carbon section during the molding process. Our famous ABLC™ dimple pattern smoothes airflow across the rim's surface. That 60's aluminum brake track provides a familiar and effective stopping surface in all conditions.
Wheels ship with Zipp Tangente butyl road inner tube with removable core (700c x 19-23mm), Zipp integrated valve extenders, quick-release skewers and rim strips. Brake pads not included.
Black spokes, glossy black hubs, Classic White decals.
This wheelset is not tubeless compatible.
Use 16mm rim tape with this wheelset.
Weight: 1820g pair. 970g rear, 850g front
Supplied as a front and rear set, Campagnolo Fitting
Fitted with tubes, rim tapes and Continental folding Ultra Sport Tyres

The Zipp 60 replaces my previous 58mm Trigon full Carbon clinchers. Initial impression was that this is a high quality, solid wheelset. Carbon of the rim is sturdy and stiff, and doesnt have that thin flimsy feel of other carbon rims (eg Cosmics, Trigon or Bora). Hubs spun smoothly, the neat design extends to the quick releases too, small elegant levers and small nuts - its a whole package that feels FAST. Valve extensions were included too, and some thought also extended to the packaging of the instuction manuals in individual sealable sachets, and the boxing for international transport. First ride: smooth feel, road chatter is well absorbed by the carbon, and aided by a new Dura Ace 9000 drivetrain, the ride quality is excellent. When standing, the extra power transferred to the wheels can be heard in the swish of the carbon - noisy but not disturbing. Despite their weight (250g more than my previos set), I found they accellerated quickly, climbing was smooth and efficient. The real value is noticible on the downhill runs. These wheels are fast! Without added pedalling effort (just tuck down low), they allow gaps to close to other riders fast, especially on the flats and downhills. The resulting smile on your face is free. The speed and acceleration is definitely noticible. The aluminium braking surface is superb, braking is solid and immediate. Having worn out the braking surface 2 other sets of full carbon clinchers, the Zipp 60 is definitely the better alternative. Excellent speed and acceleration due to the deep section rims (with dimple design) and solid stopping power. Very pleased so far, and coupled with the fact that it only took 2 days to arrive in South Africa after placing my order, Merlin Cycles definitely raised the bar on Online Bicycle shopping.
These wheels are great value for money. I have used Mavic Cosmic Carbone and these are faster and made to last. A little noisier but look great and i like the fact they can be used for winter due to alloy braking rim

Manufacturer: Riders Choice
Model: Barrel Saddle
Category: Barrel Saddles
Purchase: EBay $400
Likes: It happens to fit a narrow-withered gaited horse.
Dislikes: I thought this saddle was a 'pretty' saddle. Actually its not very pretty at all. It came to me with stuff already coming apart and strings hanging off. Really. No kidding. THE WORST PART? : My mare has now undergone several chiro adjustments due to this saddle. Even though it was only on her a few times. I don't know just what the hell this saddle is made of but its terrible. I absolutely hate this saddle.
Quality: Quality? Um, you may as well save up $3-400 dollars in advance for the money it will cost you in vet bills.
Summary: I am very upset that inexperienced/new riders are buying this saddle. I honestly don't believe that it could fit a single horse without causing pain. We are not talking just quality here, were talking the well-being of your horse. So remember, you get what you pay for. When it comes to my horse, I will never forget that again. I am now going to spend the money I should've spent in the first place and going to Triple Creek Saddlery.

We purchase for Pay-Per-Campaigns but i can see it's 14 days campaign, can we extend it to 3 weeks?
Louis (Official Rep) June 29, 2012 14:39Hi Ethos,
You would have to purchase the monthly subscription first, and then we will refund you the Pay-Per-Campaign.
With the monthly subscription you can cancel at anytime.
Can you please take a look to our account?
it's written "Pay Per Campaign:1 available, expires in 57 days" and under the campaign "Ends 11:00pm Saturday, July 21"
so do we still need to do anything if we want to keep the campaign live till July 21st?
Swati (Official Rep) July 02, 2012 08:26Hi Ethos,
The Pay Per Campaign plan has a one-time charge and must be activated within 60 days of purchase, or it expires. So the message on your Offerpop dashboard "expires in 57 days" tells you that your subscription would expire after 57 days. This information is basically useful and works as a reminder if you have already purchased a subscription for pay-per campaign and not activated it yet.
In your case, since you are running a campaign with this subscription and its currently active, you can ignore this message. However, this should not be confused with the duration of a Pay Per campaign which is 14 days.
If you wish to keep the campaign live till July 21st, you will still have to purchase a "Monthly Subscription" and we can refund you for the Pay Per Campaign charges.
Thank you for your clarification, we'll buy the monthly subscription.
Can you please inform me if we need to do any additional step while buying the monthly subscription to have the ability to refund the Pay Per Campaign charges or we just need to contact you back.
and does the refund go back to the credit card that we made the payment from?
Thank you
Swati (Official Rep) July 02, 2012 09:09Hi Ethos,
You can proceed with the sign up for unlimited monthly subscription. We will forward the refund request to our accounting team once you confirm this for us.
The Pay Per campaign charges will be refunded to your credit card which you used for payment.
Kindly note that we pay for the monthly subscription, please inform me if I need to do any action to make the campaign available for 3 weeks & to refund the charge of the "Pay Per campaign"
Louis (Official Rep) July 03, 2012 15:04Hi Ethos,
We have notified our accounting department to refund you for the pay-per-campaign.
Everything should be fine with running your campaign till July 21st.

Baylor's NCAA Tournament hopes take serious blow in loss at Texas
Mar 4, 2013, 11:39 PM EDT
Any shot Baylor had at an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament may have just gone out the door.
The Bears dropped a 79-70 decision at Texas (14-16, 6-11 Big 12), with Sheldon McClellan scoring 23 points off the bench on 9-of-15 shooting.
The game was really decided by Texas' offensive prowess. The Longhorns got huge minutes from McClellan, Myck Kabongo and Ioannis Papapetrou, who combined to hit 22-of-38 shots for 60 points.
That also reveals the biggest problem for Baylor (17-13, 8-9). They failed to stop a team that has essentially been carried by two players this season — one before Kabongo came back — then allowed a third, Papapetrou, to assert himself as a force from the outside. It's a trend that's failed to end for Baylor. They're suspect on defense and when they get down, they seem to stay there. Pierre Jackson fights, but younger guys like Deuce Bello, Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin can't seem to find any way to regain their confidence.
Austin finished with 15 points on 4-of-14 shooting while Jefferson (seven) and Bello (seven) combined for 14.
The Bears have lost five of their last six games and won only three of their last 11.
Jackson led the Bears with 22 points on 7-of-17 shooting. Brady Heslip, who averages 2.4 three-point makes per game, was held to 0-for-3 from deep for just two points.
After this nose dive, it'd be hard to believe that the Bears have even an outside shot at being on the bubble, much less being on the right side of it. Their best wins are over BYU, Kentucky and Oklahoma State, only one of which was ranked at the time, that being Kentucky, whose NCAA Tournament hopes hang in the balance as well.
It's a sad thing to see for a team that had so much potential to start the season. If Scott Drew can get Austin, Bello and Jefferson to return, which seems likely, this team could find it's way back into Big 12 contention next season.

Baylor would be mere first round fodder if they got a bid ~ which they won't. Baylor has arguably as much raw talent at anyone in the Top Ten but they have no discipline. They aren't really a team but seem to be a bunch of super talented guys playing pick-up ball. I have great respect for coach Scott Drew. He turned around an impossible situation at Baylor but it is quite obvious that he does not have the control of this year's team that is necessary to win. Baylor is a far more talented team than either West Virginia or Texas ~ and it lost to both of them in its last two outings. Now Kansas next on the calendar ~ and national TV by ESPN. Probably not a good recruiting tool for the Bears.

perfect summer sandals!
"I have three pears of the Dirty Laundry Beka sandals and will continue to buy more and more! They're extremely comfy and the stretchy fabric is awesome! The only thing to note is that the string that keeps the cross fabric in place can be a bit tight but is easily snipped for maximum comfort!"

Cute, but uncomfortable
"I don't usually write reviews, so the fact that I'm writing this one means something. This shoe is super cute, but VERY uncomfortable. I can only wear these while I'm sitting at my desk. Walking for long periods in them kills my feet. I suppose because there is no cushion on the bottom. If you want cute, go for it. If you want comfort, pick something else."

Way too slippery: Unwearable!
"I read some reviews saying this was a slippery shoe and I wish I had taken it more seriously! It's not just the bottom of the sole, but actually where your foot comes in to contact with the shoe that is so slick you can't walk! The black sling is a nice soft feeling fabric and I wanted to love the shoe, but the sole not only functions poorly(slippy and thin), but looks cheap too. I'm returning this and still hunting for black summer shoes :( Super disappointed."

So, it's Valentine's Day..and guess what...I'm sitting at home by myself at 10 at night. Hubby has a REC basketball league tonight. Game's at ten. Crappy.
Did we do a flipping thing for Vday? No. I didn't get anything from him while EVERY teacher on my hallway got flowers or balloons or something delivered or even personally dropped off by their husbands. I mean COME ON! Our first Valentine's Day as a married couple...we had freaking left overs for dinner. Ate on the flipping couch while he played poker online. Then we got to watch a freaking romantic basketball game...then he just leaves to go to his basketball game. I mean I didn't expect anything big...but come on! NOTHING?!
Bah. It's so frustrating. I know he's not a romantic, and that's fine bc I'm not either. I was just hoping for something...anything...just a little attention and love on this Valentine's day. instead, I'm going to bed by myself.
Ok, Rant over. Sorry for the sidebar.

How does he feel about Valentines day? Maybe it means nothing to him, like many other people in the world. It's just a hallmark holiday, a reason for companies to make people to spend their money because society says we need to express more love for eachother on that day. Maybe he doesn't know that Valentines day means something to you? Talk to him.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I can't help ya there... :") My hubby and I didn't do anything either. I really don't "do" the "Hallmark holidays" like sweetest day, or valentines day, or really much of the flowers and candy days. We've usually been broke, and it seems like they only want you to go to the stores and BUY BUY BUY or you will be THOUGHTLESS and HEARTLESS and just plain a bad person. :p Well, then I guess I am. lol
Hubby didn't get jipped in the bedroom at least, but that was about all he got. :p hee hee!
Hang in there... and next holiday you really feel the need to get something from him, then let him know you'd really appreciate it... and let him know exactly what you would LOVE to get. It would take the stress off him trying to read your mind and waste money on something that you just don't like anyway... Has Valentines day always meant so much to you? ...and why? ...does it mean the same for him??? Do you know?
Hang in there, it sounds more like he didn't think much of this holiday, not that he doesn't think much of YOU. :)
Report Inappropriate Comment
:( I'm sorry. Maybe tell him that that lucky for him, you consider "real" Valentine's day to be this coming Monday (the 21st) so he has a whole week to plan something spectacular?
Report Inappropriate Comment
Hows about talking to him during a time when you are calm and the two of you are in a fairly good mood? Maybe he is unaware of how you feel. If that is the case, let him know how you feel (in a non naggy way, of course). Next year, give him a heads up on February 1 and 7 so that he is gently reminded that the two of you should do something special on Valentine's Day. Nothing elaborate. Something fun. Just not nothing.....
Report Inappropriate Comment
I hope you mentioned your disappointment. It may seem obvious that he would know, but by that logic, he would have known beforehand. Do both of you a huge favor and let him know.

Skyscrapers Shedding Ice in NYC
As New York begins to thaw after record breaking winter conditions, city dwellers are forced to be on high alert for falling ice. Streets surrounding the 1,776-foot One World Trade Center have been closed following reports of ice shearing from its surface. Some blame the more energy efficient buildings for the deadly occurrence, believing that because the newer structures are able to hold in more heat their exteriors remain colder which aids the formation of ice. Materials and building form can help prevent this phenomena. You can learn more here.

Symposium: Narratives and Design Studies: A Task of Translation
What unites contemporary design? What is the through line that connects designers between continents and across decades? This spring, The MA program in Design Studies at Parsons The New School for Design presents a two-day symposium that will bring together a rare interdisciplinary group of professionals and academics to explore narratives surrounding the field of design, and attempt to answer these questions. The conference, Narratives and Design Studies: A Task of Translation, will be held March 7 – 8.
This is the conference's second year. In 2013, it was one of the first events held by the then-new MA in Design Studies. It brought together an international roster of scholars, practitioners, and entrepreneurs who considered how design shapes specific experiences and embodies fundamental assumptions about our relationship to the world and each other.

Exhibition: Beyond the Supersquare
Beyond the Supersquare brings together a select group of contemporary artists whose insightful work addresses the remnants of the Modern Movement in Latin America and the Caribbean. While the exhibition will address how Modernism defined a number of decisive aspects related to contemporary architecture, urbanism, and art in Latin America, this exhibition will also examine the larger political and social underpinnings of these cultural and environmental developments.
Through drawings, photography, sculpture, installation, and video, Beyond the Supersquare presents a series of responses to the aggressive rise of Latin America's urban centers and the ways in which they have evolved since the mid-twentieth century.

Behind "Hy-Fi": The Organic, Compostable Tower That Won MoMA PS1′s Young Architects Program 2014
This article, published by Metropolis Magazine as "Behind the Living's "100% Organic" Pavilion for MoMA PS1", goes behind the plans for this year's MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program's winning design, "Hy-Fi" – looking at the compostable eco-bricks which make the design possible.
"It all starts on local farms with waste corn stalks," says Sam Harrington of Ecovative, who will help build this year's winning entry for the MoMA PS1 Young Architect's Program. Hy-Fi, designed by the New York-based firm The Living, will be made of bricks that are entirely organic and ultimately, compostable. A good chunk of that material is corn stalks, stained clay-red with an organic dye from Shabd Simon-Alexander and Audrey Louisere . The rest is mycelium—mushroom roots to you and me—that will hold the corn stalks together as they cohere into a molded shape. The technology, developed by Ecovative in 2007, has so far been used as a packaging material. "But we love the chance to try something bold, and that's what PS1 is all about," Harrington says.

The recent hire of temporary artistic director David Lan has indicated that plans for Ground Zero's "world center for the performing arts" is moving forward in New York. The famed London director will work alongside Charcoalblue managing partner Andy Hayles to revise the original Frank Gehry-designed scheme which, according to the center's president, was prematurely designed. This leaves Gehry's involvement unclear, as the initial 1000-seat center will be abandoned for a scaled down, three-theater house that ranges from 150 to 550 seats. Competition for funding also remains an obstacle, in light of venues such as Diller Scofidio + Renfro's 2017 Culture Shed. You can learn more about the center's update here.
Winning Submissions Envision Gateway for Abandoned Railway in Queens
The Emerging New York Architects (ENYA) committee of the AIA New York Chapter has announced the winners of its 2014 biennial design ideas competition, QueensWay Connection: Elevating the Public Realm. In an effort to imagine the ways in which The Trust for Public Land and Friends of the Queensway could transform an abandoned railway in Central Queens into a vibrant urban greenway, entrants were challenged to design a vertical gateway for the elevated viaduct portion of a 3.5 mile stretch along the rail.
Of the 120 submitted proposals from 28 countries, the jury selected the following winners to represent the diverse array of ideas generated:
MoMA to Preserve Folk Art Facade
Though it has been confirmed that Diller Scofidio + Renfro's Museum of Modern Art expansion will result in the demise of Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Architects' American Folk Art Museum, the New York Times has confirmed that the beloved copper-bronze facade will be preserved.
"We will take the facade down, piece by piece, and we will store it," Glenn D. Lowry, the director of the Museum of Modern Art, said in an interview. "We have made no decision about what happens subsequently, other than the fact that we'll have it and it will be preserved."
Young Projects Play "Match-Maker" in Times Square
Young Projects will be spending the week playing "Match-Maker" in New York City, as the Brooklyn-based studio has debuted their interactive Valentine's Day installation in the heart of Times Square. Made in collaboration with fabricator Kammetal, as part of Times Square Alliance's sixth annual heart design competition, the interactive heart-shaped sculpture is designed to cosmically connect people based on their zodiac signs by arranging curious passerby's at twelve points surrounding the installation.
As Young Projects describes, "Peering through colorful, interwoven periscopes provides glimpses of each viewer's four most ideal astrological mates, offering potentially novel connections between lonely souls or settled lovers."
REX Unveils Details of Five Manhattan West Development
Joshua Prince-Ramus of REX, together with Brookfield Properties unveiled today the $200 Million redevelopment of 450 West 33rd Street in New York. The 1.8 million-square-foot building will be integrated into the Manhattan West Development.
The architectural firm REX designed the redevelopment of Five Manhattan West, including a new pleated glass façade which will create floor‐to‐ceiling windows on every floor, maximizing daylight penetration while reducing solar gain through geometric 'self‐shading.' The interior program includes a redesigned lobby, upgraded and expanded elevators, and enhanced HVAC and other mechanical systems. New retail storefronts will provide a welcoming streetscape. The renovation is expected to be completed in 2016.
More details on the project after the break.
Raimund Abraham's Last Project Realized at Former NATO Missile Base
Raimund Abraham's last project, a "stunning" design for a building atop an unused NATO missile base in Hombroich, has been realized four years after the architect's death. At the time of his passing, Abraham was working on this project as part of a unique outdoor art complex close to Düsseldorf, Germany. A competition has now been announced to determine the future for the space which has become an "an integral part of Hombroich's cultural sphere."
A McDonald's Controversy Raises Debate on Designing for the Elderly
In an article for the New York Times, Michael Kimmelman gets to the bottom of an unusual local dispute: a McDonald's in Queens, New York is kicking out groups of elderly Koreans who are out-staying their 20-minute welcome (and who have no access to community spaces nearby). The story raises an important question: how can we design our cities with elder populations in mind (a generation on track to out-number all others in the next few years)? You can read this poignant tale in full here.
The Living Wins P.S.1 with Compostable Brick Tower
The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 has selected "Hy-Fi," a "circular tower of organic and reflective bricks" designed by The Living (David Benjamin), as the winner of the 15th annual Young Architects Program (YAP) in New York. An exemplar of the cradle-to-cradle philosophy, the temporary installation will be built entirely from organic material via a new method of bio-design.
Four Practices Re-Envision Parking in Long Island Downtowns
Long Island's downtowns have more than 4,000 acres of surface area dedicated to parking lots. That's roughly 6.5 square miles of prime real estate, a phenomenon quite common in most American cities. When necessary, these lots are often exchanged for a standard "set of concrete shelves" that share little to no connection with their surroundings. This leads to the question, why must parking garages be so monofunctional and, well, ugly?
To help solve this nationwide issue, the Long Island Index challenged four leading architectural firms to envision a more innovative way to free up surface lot space in four Long Island communities.
See what they came up with, after the break…

Complex Crafting is a must!
whats the point of crafting if it's not worth while, and you can't make things that are of real Worth!
too often in mmo's you get to max crafting and it's not easy to do so, yet what you can make at end game is not even close to as good as you can get from drops?
that just plain Sucks!.
"we need worth while crafting!"Mon Dec 03 2012 9:13AM Report
Pre NGE SWG had it right. Never seen better since. Had to actually prospect for quality materials to make items good enough people bought them. Crafting spaceships, housing, everything it it. entire villages player crearted. Setting up mining operations. Bleh, we'll never see that again. No one thinks we want it.
Mon Dec 03 2012 10:50AM Report
One of the adjoining problems with most crafting systems is the defeated system and how you keep everything on death and how it's never broken an only worth scrap, so you would need to make yourself (or find someone to make for you) a new favourite weapon/armour. Also where most crafting systems fall flat is it's not "end game gear" so it's not really worth making it anyway. Having to-do dungeons runs for gear instead of obtaining a crafting component we get this instant reward of max level shiny. Then there is of cause the levelling system there is never a point to making low level items it's just a means to an end now if levelling 1-20 took you a good week or two, instead of what feels like 2days later maxed level making all low items pointless.
Although I do like the fact customising armour looks is hopefully a catching trend as making your avatar more personalised is always a bonus is my eyes.Mon Dec 03 2012 11:00AM Report
Should definitely do a new review on MO, just like you did with Darkfall if I remember correctly. Things are alot different since then, and is worthy of a new review. Just make sure the tester tries out everything from crafting to big scale PVP. Maybe go solo first, and join a guild later down the road as well.
And thx for the interview with Tasos. Was fun to hear, even though a day late and I couldn´t see it live and chant away like the rest. But nice to see it afterwards. Your 4given. ;)Mon Dec 03 2012 11:10AM Report
Also, how do I make the "subscribe now"-window over Bills face go away in the top left corner? I am subscribed already, but it still shows.
And about the crafting, try the crafting in MO out. Cause in my eyes it´s the most complexed crafting out there right now. Where you make potions etc by yourself as well from plants etc that you pick in the world. So that alone is worthy a new review of MO. ;)Mon Dec 03 2012 11:22AM Report
How ironic that you mention EQNext.
EQ2 had one of the most complex/robust crafting systems for it's time (ever) that actually was "dumbed down" because people bitched so much about it being "too hard" or "too long" or "too complicated". Or yo actually had to coordinated with other crafting professions to get things made... the horror.
Mind you I'm not a big crafter, the easier the better in my book, but when I see this trend of people complaining SO much about things like "more robust crafting" I just have to laugh becuse as soon as they get it, you're going to have the other side saying WOAH... scale this back, we want everything easier.
Another thing people fail to remember is EQ2 was and still is one of the only games with player housing. Meh... but w0w was SO much better at everything I guess according to all the lemmings. *shrug*Mon Dec 03 2012 3:33PM Report
@Lahuzer: It's YouTube, so if you get the bottom options to pop up (by hovering your mouse at the bottom), there is a "chat wibndow" looking icon that toggles on/off "notations", which is what the "subscribe please" banner is. I hope that helps :)
Good show this week, Bill. I think you re-review MO. It may be quite different now with differing options.Mon Dec 03 2012 3:41PM Report
"Hold on to you potatoes"!!
For sure there needs to be a complete overhaul and design of the crafting mechanic in MMOs. I also am close to that thought of gives us materials and let us figure out how to make stuff. There needs to be a greater focus on player driven items that in turn spark the player driven economy. Too many times (like in WoW) you would have an item you could craft, but only to find out a vendor sells the item anyways so no need to make it and sell it.
It would be nice to see a developer actually spend the time to design the whole world around a player made, player driven world and economy.
Mon Dec 03 2012 4:14PM Report
Complex crafting is coming in the sci-fi mmo called The Repopulation. Very complex. Crafted items are the best items in the game. High tier mobs and bosses drop rare components but crafter skill will still trump any item drops. The games also features no levels, no classes, housing, player built cities and a three way PvP fight for dominance.
The Repopulation should enter beta early 2013 with launch later 2013 hopefully.Mon Dec 03 2012 6:38PM Report

PORTLAND -- Nearly 300 people camped out overnight in downtown Portland for the grand opening of the new Microsoft store.
The first 200 people in line got meet and greet passes to go back stage with the band Weezer. Weezer will perform downtown Friday night at 7 p.m.
Fans toughed out the cold and rain Thursday morning for the tickets.
Dustin Teagle brought along several items to stay warm, I had one blanket, one pillow and my chair. And an umbrella, he said.
Some people said they had waited since 11 a.m. Wednesday to be among the first in line.
We were all just in here playing our video games and when it started to rain, our video handheld devices started getting wet and we were like, 'What are we going to do?' Tim and Aftyn Garvin said. They ended up putting together a makeshift tent to hide from the rain.
The new Microsoft store opened at 10:30 a.m. Thursday.

HIT Certificate Equips Students for One of Georgia's Fastest Growing Fields
If you blend health care with computers you get Health Information Technology (HIT)–one of the fastest growing employment sectors in Georgia and the country. A one-year Health Information Technology certificate at Gwinnett Technical College offers fast, convenient and affordable entry into this field.
Two aspects of the program new for Fall Semester 2014 make it a particularly great time to enroll:
- The HIT Certificate is now approved to add as a second major, and the online format of the program makes it easy to combine with an existing course load.
- For those enrolling in Fall Semester 2014, up to 90% tuition assistance is available
Health care has been steadily moving towards electronic medical records as a means for improving the overall quality, safety and delivery of its services. Health information technology professionals are needed to implement, organize and manage health information data systems and to train the practitioners who use them.
View these student stories:
- Veteran Finds Meaning in Health Information Technology
- Doctor Chooses HIT for Second Career
- HIT Skills Adapt Well to Other Industries
HIT added 2,000 jobs in Georgia during the recession and slow recovery (2008-2013). The Technology Association of Georgia projects another 1000 new positions in 2014-2015. Nationally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts 22 percent job growth for the industry through 2022.
The program is particularly suited for anyone with previous health care or information technology experience. Students will take courses such as History of Health Information Technology, Health Management Information Systems, Quality Improvement and Leadership for Health IT in order to work in the areas of workflow designing, consulting, supporting, managing and training people to use health information technology systems.
Ideal candidates are "people who enjoy change, can learn quickly and are excited about bringing their IT or medical experience to a different kind of environment, while still making a tremendous difference in the lives of people," says Victoria Albee, program director.

Iraq: Latest killings push death toll past 900 this month
Bombings near a market and a restaurant in Baghdad killed six people on Thursday as the death toll for January topped 900, with no end in sight to Iraq's worst violence since 2008.
Blasts struck the Baghdad neighborhoods of Kasra and Talbiyah on Thursday morning, hours after several car bombs ripped through commercial areas of the capital.
The latest bombings killed at least six people and left 20 others wounded, security and medical officials said.
On Wednesday evening, car bombs in Baghdad went off in Talbiyah, Shuala and Baghdad Jadidah, leaving at least nine people dead and dozens more wounded.
Attacks on Wednesday also hit the outskirts of the capital, as well as the northern cities of Mosul and Tuz Khurmatu, killing seven more people.
At least 909 people have been killed so far this month as a result of violence in Iraq, more than three times the toll for January 2013, according to an AFP tally based on reports from security and medical officials.
The bloodletting comes as security forces are locked in battles with militants, including those affiliated with the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, in Anbar.
The standoff has forced more than 140,000 people to flee their homes, the UN refugee agency said, describing this as the worst displacement in Iraq since the 2006-2008 sectarian conflict.

GOD AND COUNTRY BEING WHAT THEY ARE, you usually have to go to Jesus before anybody gives you a tribute album. The late Townes Van Zandt, who was the precise weight of Jesus at the time of his death, now has about ten of them. Jesus, of course, has more. But when Jesus was alive, He was relatively uncelebrated and totally broke. That is why, directly following the Last Supper, He told the waiter, "Separate checks, please." True greatness is rarely recognized when it walks among us. It almost always dies in the gutter or, occasionally, in the back of a 1952 Cadillac, as Hank Williams did. Talent is invariably its own reward. As Bob Dylan once told me, "When you die, they let you off the hook." The leopard of humanity never changes its spots.
I'd been thinking about a tribute album to myself for a long time, but I didn't want to have to die to get it. I didn't want to be too successful either. If you're too successful in life, you'll never get a tribute album. Someone like Garth Brooks, for instance, whom I refer to as "the Anti-Hank," is so commercially viable that probably no one will remember his name by the time he wakes up in Hell next to Oscar Wilde. And that's the way the Lord wants it. The Lord doesn't want people singing Garth Brooks songs to their grandchildren. He wants them to sing the songs of the guy who died in the back of the Cadillac, or the songs of Willie Nelson, or the songs of Stephen Foster, who died on the Bowery in New York City. Or, I decided, the songs of the Kinkster, which is why some of you are now holding in your hands Pearls in the Snow: The Songs of Kinky Friedman.
How exactly did that fine record—picked as a spotlight album of the week in December by Billboard—come to be? Glad you asked. In the early seventies, along with my band, the Texas Jewboys, I traveled the land annoying many Americans with songs like "The Ballad of Charles Whitman" and "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore." I thank the Lord we didn't have a big hit because instead of getting a tribute album, I'd be playing Disneyland with the Pips. About two decades later, once I had enough decent (or indecent) songs and my career had gone so far south that people thought I was dead or wished I was, I knew the time was right for a tribute to me.
The first thing I needed was a title. Every tribute record requires a classic-sounding, moderately pretentious title. Fortunately, I had a number of them. The top contenders were "Ridin' 'Cross the Desert on a Horse With No Legs," "Strummin' Along With Richard Kinky Big Dick Friedman," "Come Home, Little Kinky," and Don Imus' rather facetious suggestion, "Hillbilly Has-Beens Sing the Hideous Songs of Kinky Friedman." The title eventually chosen came from a conversation I'd had in the eighties with my friend Timothy B. Mayer, who's since gone to Jesus himself. Tim was lamenting the fact that my more sensitive songs had been overshadowed by obnoxious, outrageous ones like "Ol' Ben Lucas (Had a Lotta Mucus)," which I wrote when I was eleven years old. Tim said that the best songs I'd written had been lost over the years like " pearls in the snow." He told me this when we were both out where the buses don't run on a snowy New Year's Eve on Martha's Vineyard and I was urinating on a house and shouting, "It's going to be a power year for the Kinkster." (It wasn't.)
Fast-forward ten years or so. I was in Nashville hanging out one night with seminal Music City deejay Captain Midnight and Kacey Jones, formerly the lead singer of Ethel and the Shameless Hussies, when Kacey asked, "Whatever happened to all those beautiful songs you wrote?"
Paraphrasing Sammy Allred, I answered, "Nuthin'."
"Well," she said in a voice fraught with irritating gentile optimism, "why don't we do something about that?"
"Why don't we just get a drink?" Midnight said. As fate would have it, we did both.
Since Hank Williams was working a package show with Johnny Horton and Faron Young, we decided that the best centerpiece for our aural table would be Willie Nelson. We sent Willie a dozen vintage Kinky songs from which he was to select one tune to record for us. We waited for the gestation period of the southern sperm whale, but nothing happened. When a tribute album gets off to this kind of a slow start, the honoree can often become somewhat dispirited. I thought that possibly my own precisely timed country music death might increase interest in the project.
Then I saw the light: If you want mankind to honor you, you've got to get off your ass. I called Lana Nelson, Willie's daughter, and Doug Holloway, Willie's illegitimate son, promised each of them two or three hundred dollars, and soon the wheels were turning. (To quote Sammy Allred again, "When Kinky offers you two or three hundred dollars, you always know which one it's going to be.") Lana and Doug graciously refused the cash, and two weeks later Willie was in the studio with his band, recording a brilliant version of "Ride 'em, Jewboy." Later that night I sat in my car, listened to the cut, and smiled for the first time in two hundred years.
After Willie, we selected artists who, like him, walk their own roads. These were all people who, if someone in the record business said it couldn't be done, would spend the rest of their lives proving them wrong. Fortunately, they turned out to be the kind of stars a hopeful little Jewboy could make a wish upon. The only pain, disappointment, and humiliation I felt was when I was turned down flat by one particular person. After all I've been through, I'm not reticent about mentioning that

Giants skipper Bochy, GM Sabean look toward 2010
Bochy said he spoke with his coaching staff Sunday and told them decisions hadn't yet been made on who would stay. That was one topic on the to-do list for Sabean and Bochy during their meetings this week.
This team's future lies with All-Star starters Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain and free-swinging slugger Pablo Sandoval, who will be put on a conditioning program and asked to improve his diet this winter. Sandoval hit a team-leading 25 home runs and drove in 90 runs in his first full major league season.
Sabean knows the Giants could be headed for a complicated, expensive arbitration process with Lincecum, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner who went 15-7 with a 2.48 ERA in 32 starts and 225 1-3 innings.
"It's one I have not been through," Sabean said of first-time arbitration with such a talented young player. The GM compared Lincecum to Phillies slugger Ryan Howard, who won $10 million in an arbitration hearing for the 2008 season.
While Sabean has vowed not to trade Lincecum or Cain, he said he might consider dealing a pitcher to acquire a powerful bat.
San Francisco hopes to bring back second baseman Freddy Sanchez, who was acquired in a trade with the Pirates on July 29 but was limited to 25 games because of injuries. The 31-year-old Sanchez was hindered by a shoulder injury then underwent surgery last week to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Bochy knows a lot can be built from this year's success with a young roster, even if there are many changes this winter. Infielder Rich Aurilia and right fielder Randy Winn aren't likely to return and catcher Bengie Molina appeared headed for free agency.
"We got close. It makes you hungrier," the skipper said. "Sometimes you have to take it a step at a time. For these guys to experience this it's going to help them next year. We're in a win mode now. There's a difference."

Angry fans broke TV sets, a student took poison and the Lahore high court was approached with a complaint that the government had "gifted" the World Cup semifinal to India in a bid to improve bilateral ties.
These were among the bizarre reactions in Pakistan to its team's defeat at Mohali that shocked this cricket-mad country united in the love for the game, but violently divided over many issues.
Investigate the recordings of telephone conversations between Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, cricket captain Shahid Afridi and interior minister Rahman Malik, urged an upset citizen in his petition to the high court.
The recordings should be produced in court to verify his allegations, the petitioner pleaded, a day after India had humbled Pakistan by 29 runs at Mohali.
Such is the cricket mania that a person lost his life and 50 others were injured in 'celebratory fire' in Karachi when Pakistan appeared doing well in the match.
(The craze is matched by across the border in India where a shopkeeper in Ghaziabad is reported to have been shot dead by some people angered by his wrong prediction that Pakistan would win the match).
How would the Pakistani team be received by the unforgiving public on its return home was a hotly debated topic with people recalling that irate fans have attacked the houses and families of vanquished players in the past.
Afridi himself apologised to the nation immediately after the match and many sane voices shared his view that the team had done much better than was expected of it.
Leading the supportive voices was Punjab chief minister Shabaz Sharif who announced a cash reward of Rs five lakhs to each player.
Afridi's young daughter broke into tears on national television, saying she was hurt at the loss.
Shocked by the defeat, a man died of heart attack in Faisalabad.
Meanwhile, the media screamed "massacre at Mohali" attacking the team for poor fielding and batting.
"Cricket mania evaporates after anti-climax", read the headline of Dawn.

SAN ANTONIO -- Scraped and bruised, a young teen from Poteet says she was shoved and bullied by several football players on her way home from school.
Jazmine Delgado, 14, said she was cutting through the high school football field when about 10 football players shoved her and kicked her to the ground, bruising and scraping her shoulder, palms and legs.
I don't want to go back to school, the teen said.
Delgado's mom said bullying is a problem at the school and is demanding school administrators to take action.
How can somebody do that to a female? she said. It makes me sad.
Delgado's mom said she received a call late Thursday from the school's athletics director. They set up a meeting to talk on Friday morning.

Re: Why a racer for cruising discussion...
Outbound, thanks for the compliments on the Vindo. They are indeed very attractive, though I suppose not for everyone's taste (as this thread has proven!). Sorry to mislead you in my signature, it's 35ft, not 50ft. The model was called a Vindo 50 because it carried 50 square meteres of sail.
And Bob you have hit the nail on the head with this one:
""I'd love a radical 50' cruising boat but all I can afford is this old Pearson." So we own the boats we like and the boats we can afford. We keep our bottoms clean. We maintain our gear and we buy the best sails we can afford, new or used. And, here's the clincher, we all enjoy our boats."
I bought this boat because it was the best quality boat I could afford and it pleased my eye. There are times I wish I could get it to move better in light air, but otherwise I'm happy with it. The wife and kids and I get to go cruising and have a blast. We're comfortable on board and it gets the job done.
Vindö 50

I think this is one of the best deals on Lewin in a while. We see $32 all the time both with TM Lewin and CT for their regular shirts, but the non-irons are a little more expensive (usually more like 4 for $160). With the 10% off, getting a non-iron at around $28 is a great price in my book. I think there was a similar deal around Feb of last year with stacked coupons when it came to around 26-27 bucks a shirt. Free shipping is a big bonus as well.
I feel TM Lewin fabric is thicker and better than comparable CT. Also CT slim fits are notorious for being not long enough to stay tucked in.
Ordered a bunch. Thanks OP.
I greatly prefer TM Lewin shirts over Charles Tyrwhitt shirts. TM Lewin almost always uses a higher quality of fabric than Charles Tyrwhitt. Also, unlike Tyrwhitt, Lewin does not fuse, or glue, their collars. So the collars on a Lewin are not quite as stiff, which makes them more comfortable for me. Of the affordable "British" (most of these shirt makers contract out their shirt operations to factories in low cost labor countries) shirt brands, Harvie and Hudson (which may still be made in England) and Lewin have worked out the best for me, and at this price, Lewin shirts are a great value.
Last edited by scrosenf; 04-02-2013 at 06:20 AM..
Should I order the same collar/sleeve measurements that I do for CT shirts or do I need to make adjustments for Lewin?
wow, looks like i got in on the deal just in time. Anyone have any experience with the fully fitted shirts? I checked the measurement and it was comparable to a few of my chaps slim fit shirts and those fit me perfectly.
The TM Levin slim fit sizings werent all that slim IMO
Just ordered 9 of these... Codes worked for me.
I own both CT shirts and TM Lewin, and have a lot of both.
Here's my take:
I get slim fit in both, 15.5"/35 in CT and on the Lewin I need to upsize to a 16"/35, this is because the Lewin slim fit run slimmer than the CT, both in the collar, chest, and waist. A 16" fits much better and comparable to a 15.5" in CT. I'm not thin, more like average. 6', 195lbs, 42" Chest, 34" waist.
I once tried to order the TM Lewin Fully fitted and could barely button it up, those are for really thin people...
Between the two I like the Lewin shirts better. Fabric seems better, has gauntlet buttons (HATE that CT shirts lack these), overall just seem nicer.

Don't fear the NG tube! I was scared about it too. Actually I was devastated when my daughter was prescribed the tube at 1 week old. But she couldn't eat normally due to VSD. The tube was a GODSEND!!! leading up to OHS ( 2 mos old) she gained steadily because of tube feeds. I could take a deep breath and sleep at night.
Also, I gave her medicine through the tube, which is way easier than trying to give small amts of liquid meds by mouth. I had the peace of mind that she got the exact amoutns of digoxin and lasix to manage her heart faiure related symptoms. Tube came out one month post OHS and we never looked back.
Until she got RSV at 9 mos old. The local hospital wanted to tranfer her several miles away because she was getting dehydrated and was too dehydrated for them to start an IV in her arm. They basically wanted to wait around for her to get sicker and then transfer us miles away from home so the "bigger/better" hospital could handle it. She couldn't eat due to being sick, was weak and dehydrated from not eating..vicious cycle. So...my brilliant hubby suggested doing a tube feed. My pediatrician said "great idea, why didn't I think of that?...ok!" I had to help the nurse do it since none of the pedi nurses on duty had done NG tube on baby before! She sat in high chair and ate a yogurt the next morning and we went home a day later. The NG tube is your friend.

~Lisa, mom to Caroline, she's 2-1/2!
Good. Your situation may be different and the docs may suggest different things. But once you accept their advice it should be for the best.
And they will recommend you still hold your baby and give a pacifier or finger to stimulate the mouth while the tube feed is happening. So you will still get very snuggly and bond. Just don't bother with that in the middle of the night unless you really want it!!
Oh and don't sleep in car seat for too long and especially not during or after feeds. Baby should not be kinked at waist as that interferes with digestion causing problems with constipation and reflux. Sometimes that can't be avoided completely but you try different things. We had an infant swing or papasan where the child is reclined a bit but not totally sitting up and no kink in body. Car seat is the worst thing for kinking. Also best to elevate bassinet/crib matress and you can put a rolled blanket under the bottom to prevent sliding down (this I learned at Boston Children's Hospital).
Tracey - Proud Mom to Katherine Rose and Daniel
Just want to send you a HUG and a prayer. Hope Lauren gets a plan to help her be healthy before surgery. Have you done any higher calorie formula stuff yet? We never got a tube for Max before surgery, although it may have come up a few times, but it was all I did trying to feed him all day long. He gained little by very little but i honestly had no life except feeding him. A tube might give you some peace of mind. Any idea when they plan to do the surgery? Some get it around 11-12 weeks old, we had to wait until he was almost 20 weeks old and it was SO long. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Cal State University Fullerton ranked No. 6 in the nation for the number of bachelor's degrees it confers on minority students. The rating can be found in Diverse Issues in Higher Education's Top 100 Degree Producers publication.
This is the second consecutive year that the university garnered the honor, which is based on data from the U.S. Department of Education.
More than half of Cal State Fullerton's 37,000 students identify themselves as a member of an ethnic group, the largest being Hispanic (28 percent) and Pacific Islander (22 percent).
The publication also lists the university as the second in the state for the number of degrees awarded to Hispanics, which match previously published scores in Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education.

Paris Hilton is causing a stir in Brazil, all over a commercial! The heiress stars in an ad for Devassa beer, and the government thinks it's just a little too sexy! In the commercial, Paris rubs a beer can across her body in the window of an office building as people on the street and in an office stare.
The government claims the reason they're against it is because "advertising models won't be treated as sex objects." A spokeswoman for the Women's Secretariat said they've received numerous complaints: "It's an ad that devalues women — in particular, blond women."
"The problem with the ad isn't a lack of clothing, but its sensual nature," she added. "A woman in a bikini on a beach isn't necessarily sensual; it depends on the context."
Apparently women in Brazilian-cut bikinis better stay on the beach while in Brazil, or there's a problem! Talk about a double standard. We think the commercial is hot! Check it out below!

That does it for me. Florida is the preseason No. 1 for 2009.
Tim Tebow assured his team of that fact when he told 40,000 people Sunday in Gainesville that he is coming back for his senior season. Why not? A year from now he is still going to be a questionable NFL quarterback. TT said he got mixed reviews from NFL types.
What did he expect? The guy doesn't exactly throw a spiral each time. He'll never have the weapons he has offensively at Florida in the NFL. It's the right idea to come back. A second Heisman and third national championship won't hurt his draft prospects or desire to play quarterback in the pros.
Tebow comes that latest Tyler Hansbrough or Matt Leinart or Peyton Manning who are coming back because they love everything about college.
You go, Tim. We'll see you and the Gators in Pasadena next year.

lol .. you are really asking this question?
Just take a huge picture(>3000px) with a lot elements in it, then cut it out in that form. After you do that, just crop out the six faces of the cube.
I've wanted to make a panorama viewer lol never got round to it. This kind of file is a lil niche, not many would be able to get the images made for this, need a good photographer that can do it, so the next use of it would be like in one of the links you showed, a series of 3D images stitched together to give that awesome effect.
I know theres a few good 3D artists around here, perhaps they would'nt mind giving you a render of the six angles you need. Not sure how you'd go about content though, but thats probably the best bet, you could do it yourself too, be a bit of learning though.
lol .. you are really asking this question?
Just take a huge picture(>3000px) with a lot elements in it, then cut it out in that form. After you do that, just crop out the six faces of the cube.
This is to give a 3D effect, you can say take the surrounding pictures of you in a room so you can look around the room. Its not a single photo you cut up. It is good for real estate sites, I saw an airline site with this feature as well.
There is a software call Serif Panorama it's about $30 you just submit your break photos and it will adjust it to a Panorama image I am not sure if its available for windows also . Any way if you want you can send me your break images (if you have ) I will do it for you, will take me 5 minutes or so .
Putting the images together is easy…I have no idea how accurate you have to be at taking those kind of pictures though. Would need a tripod or something for your camera? Would hate to be doing trial and error over and over again… So for me it'd be easier doing six 3D renders where you can avoid that issue.
PS has panorama tools.
Panoramas get more complicated when you need to have a "spherical" shot. A 360 all around is done using a tripod and then matching the pictures.
With a sphere to be filled you need a tripod that you can tilt sideways as well, basically that way you'll have to rotate around until you get everything.
There are also special cams to do it, like the cams that google uses on their cars for google maps.
