Amazing Invitation
I purchased this invitation for my bridal shower, which is Paris-themed. With a change to the wording and adding my colours, the invitations turned out perfectly!!
Paper of High Quality, Ink of Low
I think the image on my card of a chandelier was the most detailed that I was able to find, which is why I picked this service. The paper was of good quality, which made it easy to address because the ink did not smear. My disappointment was that you are very limited on the space you can write in on a wedding invitation and I used the standard ink which was gray for the words and it was so light in some areas it looked like the printer had run out of ink. Similar problem for the pink text. If I use this service again, I would only use black ink for writing. For the cost and the time it takes to receive an order, the ink should be darker.
I love my invitations! They were perfect and the Magnet Street designers called when they found a mistake and fixed it! They also were delivered really quickly!
I personalized my invitations to my wedding theme and had no problem doing so using Magnet Street. It was quick and easy- after I ordered the invitations, it only took 10 days to receive the shipment. I was overjoyed when opening the box because the paper was such a nice linen, that made it look rich and elegant. The printing had a beautiful gloss and was clean and clear. The enveloped matched the invitations which was awesome. I could not have asked for a better product, with such a quick production timeline. I have already begun recommending Magnet Street to all who have a party, wedding or an event that needs invites. Thank you!

The Marche region
Even today Marche remains a largely undiscovered gem in the heart of Italy, sandwiched between the stunning Apennine mountains on its western fringes and the beautiful Adriatic coast to the east.
Perhaps because Marche has historically been an isolated region, sheltered as it is from intrusion by its natural mountain borders to the north, south and west and by the Adriatic Sea, it is only slowly gaining rightful recognition.
The region gets comparatively little mention in the travel media, deferring to the wider fame of neighbouring Tuscany and Umbria. Yet it can justifiably claim to be Italy's very own Garden of Eden.
It boasts lush greenery (often a surprise to visitors) and an enchanting mixture of sunflower fields, abundant woodland, many rivers which wind their way down to a beautiful coastline, and stunning mountain scenery.
Bordering both Umbria and Tuscany, as well as Abruzzo, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna, the region has an identity all of its own.
Walkers, trekkers and nature lovers can also find their feet here, with regional and national parks offering an abundance of outdoor activities, including trekking, mountain biking, paragliding, nature trails, hunting and fishing and ski-ing.
Marche has two national parks, the Monti Sibillini National Park and the Gran Sasso Monti Della Laga National Park.
The Monti Sibillini National Park actively promotes and protects wildlife habitats and has played a key role in building a stable population of wolves and other creatures such as the golden eagle. Wild boar abound and with the help of active re-introduction programmes there are also now signs of the return of the Marsicana brown bear from its stronghold in neighbouring Abruzzo. There are even signs of the return of the secretive and shy lynx.
Rising 572m from the sea near Ancona, Monte Conero is one of Marche's best known landmarks. It is home to a regional park and is an excellent place to see birds such as the marsh harrier and long-legged buzzard, while its coastal waters offer beautiful coved beaches and are ideal for organised boat trips.
The other regional park by the sea is the Colle San Bartolo Regional Park near Gabicce, home to wetlands of national importance.
A myriad of fascinating caves form the central attraction of the inland park, Gola della Rossa Frasassi Regional Park, recognised as the most interesting limestone caves in Italy. Special tours lead you through a series of caves complete with small lakes, stalactites, huge stalagmites and onto the truly cavernous Abisso Ancona, a cave from ground to ceiling fully 240m high.
Santa Vittoria in Matenano
Casa Ettore is close to the hilltop towns of Santa Vittoria and Montelparo, both offering bars, restaurants and shops.
Nearby is the village of Montottone, home of the famous Bozzi Pottery, with handmade pots and crockery made to ancient designs.
And the towns of Fermo, Offida, Ascoli Piceno and Amandola are all within easy driving distance and each offers something unique - Fermo's dominating cathedral and art gallery (which has one of the few paintings by Rubens in Italy), Ascoli Piceno's central piazza made entirely of marble, Offida's lace-making tradition and Amandola, the gateway to the mountains with its amazing views.
An abundance of other historic hilltop towns are also close by, many with their own town festivals and sagras.

Jane Fonda Puts Eco-Friendly Ranch on Market
Located 30 minutes from Santa Fe's Historic Plaza, the 2,300-acre ranch features a solar-powered 9,600-square-foot main house, a guesthouse, a 12-stall equestrian center, and a 3.5-mile stretch along the Pecos River.
See Jane's Fabulous RanchView All 10 Photos
"When I was married to Ted, I did a lot of fly-fishing, and I knew I would miss it," she said. "And here I was looking at land along a trout river."
She purchased the property in 2000 and called it home for many years. It is now offered at $19.5 million. The ranch also includes the hacienda – a 2,125-square-foot guest home as well as a 3,400-square-foot log house, a 12-stall equestrian facility and a gym.
ranch was made up of 13,000 acres and its former owner actress Greer Garson ( Pride & Prejudice, Mrs. Miniver) dubbed the property Forked Lightning. Also a Best Actress Oscar-winner, Garson and her husband oil tycoon Buddy Fogelson were successful horse breeders and spent decades on the ranch. Around 1991 it was divided up and portions of land were donated to the National Park Service and other lots sold. Val Kilmer once owned over 5,000 acres of the land, which he sold in 2011.
Fonda spent three years living in a small log cabin on the property while the 9,600-square-foot main house was constructed. She wanted the home to pay homage to past artisans who made their mark on the area's landscape. Consequently, many of the home's materials are resourced and salvaged materials such as the ceiling's exposed beams and the antique doors, which were purchased from dealers in and around Santa Fe. Many of the home's new elements, such as the fireplaces and the chandeliers, were painstakingly recreated in the likeness of homes of Northern New Mexico.
The walls, the patina and the mismatched terra-cotta tiles give off an air of yesteryear. Fonda said that when her friend Robert Redford visited he assumed that the house was at least 100 years old.
The actress completed her memoir, My Life So Far, in her tenure on the property, but now it is time to write the next chapter in her life.
"Forked Lightning Ranch has been a sanctuary and place of significant healing for me," said Fonda. "I think of myself as a steward of this land, and, while my vision for the place has been realized in the design of my home and careful care of the property's ecosystem, the land itself remains the ranch's true value and essence. It is time for me to pass Forked Lightning Ranch to the next custodian of this enchanted place."

Leo Bretholz still has the yellow star he received nearly 70 years ago at a French deportation camp during World War II.
"This is what we were given at Drancy. [It's] the Jewish star -- it says Juif," Bretholz said, bringing the star to his chest. "When I look at that, well, it's like a [badge] of honor."
In 1942, at the age of 21, Bretholz was forced aboard a train from Drancy bound for Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi concentration camp.
That train was operated by the French National Railroad, SNCF. Today, SNCF runs a very successful high-speed rail system in France. The company has hopes of winning contracts to build similar lines here in the United States.
"SNCF is the most experienced operator of high speed rail in the world -- we've been at it since 1981," said Peter Kelly, counsel for SNCF America. "We have 1100 miles of high-speed track under construction, in operation in Europe."
The United States has already planned several high-speed rail lines, with trains going up to 220 miles an hour and the biggest being in California. Officials there recently broke ground on a station in San Francisco, which will eventually service the high-speed trains.
The system in California will run the length of the state and the contracts are expected to be worth billions of dollars. Kelly said the company is also interested in projects in both Florida and Texas.
But Bretholz, along with hundreds of other American Holocaust survivors, are protesting the company's expansion.
"They are getting paid millions, if not billions, of dollars for these projects, and they're good at that," Bretholz said. "The French are good at doing fast railroads. But they're taking tax payers' money, and some of the tax payers were their victims. Some of the tax payers are still alive today to be able to tell."
It's believed SNCF transported more than 75,000 people to Nazi camps, most of whom died either along the way or at their ultimate destination. Bretholz survived only by escaping from a train car after prying the bars open with a sweater dipped in human waste.
"And we left 48 people in that cattle car, a total of 998 on the whole train," said Bretholz, who chronicled his escape in the book, "Leap into Darkness," which is now in its 10th printing. "My friend Manfred and I survived, and three others survived of that whole train -- only three of a thousand."
Although critics say SNCF has never fully acknowledged its past, the company said it had no choice.
"When France was invaded in 1940, one of the first things the Nazis did was to take over the railroad," Kelly said. "And SNCF employees who remained with the railroad, did so under Nazi orders, which included any disobeying of the Nazi orders would result not only in the death of the employee but in the death of the employee's family. In other words, SNCF was a creature of the Nazis during World War II."
Kelly added that the railway system performed other functions under Nazi rule, including the transport of German military personnel and equipment and other "normal railroad operations."

Thousands of students were stranded overnight in schools after a rare winter storm hit the deep south.
In Atlanta, schools closed early Tuesday but slippery roads created massive traffic jams and it took hours to get some kids home.
Sixteen hours after leaving school in a bus, some Atlanta-area students were still making their way home. Atlanta Public Schools spokeswoman Kimberly Willis Green said "several hundred students at nine schools are sheltered in place."
Atlanta-based Home Depot opened up 26 stores in Alabama and Georgia for stranded travelers.

Another story to be favorited, my dear. However, I have to point out that a K rating (basically equivalent to a PG movie) is not nearly sufficient for all that is being implied here. I'd hate to find you plagued by disgruntled readers and having your stuff pulled. I'd die! But it's been known to happen.

Yay! More from the best Joker writer around! (look! I have an account now! .)

And though you'll tire of hearing me say this, you have once again swept me away, even if it was just this little thing. It's ironic; I just returned from babysitting, and we had Happy Meals.
Lovely, as always!

Very much in character, and you've succeeded again where I seem to keep failing: mastering the Joker's thought process...wheneven I write from his point of view, it always sounds wrong..._
Anyway, I enjoyed this a lot, and you're talent as a writer is obvious! More please!

1. Theme-off
After much discussion, it seems to make sense to stick with WordPress. We've narrowed our theme options to two: Tweaker4 or 2011. We've currently updated to Tweaker4, which will be up until next Friday, November 25. Then we'll put 2011 up until December 2. So please poke around with each theme and send comments to kellymce [at] gmail.com by December 2.
Keep in mind, the content will still be shifting, this is more about the aesthetics and functions.
Since it doesn't show up in the title menu, take a look at how wikis will look: http://zinelibraries.info/wiki/test/
2. Art contest
Down the line, we'll be changing the URL to Zinelibrarians.net, restructuring things, and making it easier to add and use content. As part of this process, we need some new art to freshen up the site, and we want your help.
We most need the following:
– a banner at the top of the display
– small badges that folks can proudly post on their own websites
– a general logo that can be easily repurposed
But additional ideas are welcomed!
At this point, please don't bother making a refined product — just submit a rough sketch, and any explanation you deem necessary. Entries are due December 18, 2011. Sketches will be posted to the website for public voting. The winner will be asked to produce a more complete design by early in 2012. Email your entries (and any questions) to kellymce [at] gmail.com.

We went to Gozen Bistro Restaurant for sushi tonight. I ordered a green tea and garden salad to start, a salad which happens to have the best salad dressing on the face of the Earth.
Casey and I also split an order of edamame to start.
For the main course, I ordered a Dragon Roll made up of a California roll topped with avocado and barbeque eel. It was tasty, but the eel was a bit too overpowering. I think next time I will try another specialty roll instead.
After dinner, we headed over to YoYo's Yogurt Cafe for dessert.
I had raspberry frozen yogurt with one small bit of vanilla, topped with hemp granola, strawberries, and white chocolate chips. I also added one little ball of chocolate chip cookie dough and a piece of a peanut butter cup on the side.
I downed the toppings quickly, but only ate about half of my frozen yogurt. Casey was more than happy to help finish my frozen yogurt!
I also managed to squeeze in a late night workout after our date night.
Have a great night!

Carol West and her husband, Keith, of Sanders, Ky. were camping at General Butler State Resort Park May 3, when Keith noticed a pair of Baltimore Orioles. The birds had found some discarded fishing line and were building their nest about 35 feet up in a tree.
When Keith next looked up he saw the female bird entwined in the fishing line and hanging upside down. The male bird was distraught and flew up to her several times trying to help. At times the bird could manage to get back up on a limb but would fall again.

Syrian rebels advance in town along Iraqi border
There was no immediate word on casualties.
The main battle fronts over the past month have been in the capital, Damascus, as well as Aleppo, where regime forces have struggled to stamp out a rebel offensive that began last month and succeeded in capturing several neighborhoods in the city of 3 million people.
In a report released Thursday, the human rights group Amnesty International said artillery, mortar fire and airstrikes by government forces in Aleppo are killing mostly civilians, including children. It said air and artillery strikes against residential neighborhoods are indiscriminate attacks that seriously endanger civilians.
Amnesty said that during a 10-day fact-finding visit to Aleppo city in the first half of August, Amnesty investigated some 30 attacks in which more than 80 civilians, who were not directly participating in hostilities, were killed and many more were injured.
Amnesty said that among the dead were 10 members of one family, seven of them children. Their home was destroyed in two airstrikes on Aug. 6. It said bodies of mostly young men, most of them handcuffed and shot in the head, have been frequently found near the local headquarters of the powerful Air Force Intelligence, which is in a government-controlled area.
The uprising against Assad's regime began with largely peaceful protests but has since morphed into a civil war that has spread to almost all areas of the country.
In the Damascus suburb of Daraya, the Local Coordination Committees activist group said government shelling killed a mother and her five children. It said the six were members of al-Sheik family and had fled from their hometown of Maadamiyeh to escape the violence.
An amateur video showed the five children draped in which shrouds with their faces showing during the funeral. The body of the mother was all covered.
Associated Press writer Albert Aji contributed to this report from Damascus, Syria.

A local school administrator is going home.
Chris Clark, principal of Madison-Plains High School, has resigned his position to take a superintendent's position in Black River Schools in Ashland County.
Clark, an '84 alumnus of Black River, will take on the role beginning July 1. Area media outlets said he was hired during a special meeting of the Black River Board of Education on June 17.
He is currently wrapping up his duties at Madison-Plains High School. Clark is seeing through a scheduling program for the coming school year, which he initiated. He wants to make sure it's intact and operable before he heads north, he said.
Clark is moving to a school district he describes as comparable in size and composition to Madison-Plains.
"The district is all in one complex like Madison-Plains," Clark said. "Finances are almost the same, and their operation is fairly the same."
Clark said financial stability "appears to be an issue, having some stability, some direction."
"I've always been up to a challenge," Clark said, citing some excitement and some nervousness at taking on superintendent's role.
Clark said he has had his superintendent certificate for some time, but had set geographic parameters for taking the next step up.
That came when some hometown friends called him and told him of the resignation of Black River's superintendent, Janice Wycoff. Clark still owns a farm in the area despite being away for 26 years.
In terms of salary, Clark will be paid $95,000 to take the job in Black River, said Connie Hange, Black River treasurer.
She sat in the final interviews and described Clark as "a no-nonsense kinda guy, which it what we need right now. I'm looking forward to his coming."
Hange felt that since Clark is an alumnus of Black River, he will have the best interest of the district at heart.
"And the students will reap the benefit of that," Hange said. She also said between phone calls and emails she and Clark have been communicating.
Clark began his teaching career at Madison-Plains in 1988 as agriculture education instructor. When he started, agricultural education had 28 students. It has since grown to need three full-time teachers.
Clark said he has been grateful for the opportunity to grow as an education professional at Madison-Plains. He became principal in 2004.
Kelly Cooley, president of the Madison-Plains Board of Education, could not be reached Tuesday for additional information regarding Clark's departure and the BOE's plans for his replacement.
News of Clark's relocation comes weeks after the announcement that Madison-Plain Superintendent Bernie Hall is resigning Aug. 1

The fact is, much of today's business content is still communicated in an unstructured format, such as phone, fax, email, or through other paper-intensive work processes. As a result, today's HIS solutions are often ill-equipped to help manage the information needed for healthcare workers to make timely and efficient decisions on behalf of the organization.
OnBase RCM's receivables management helps today's healthcare facilities capture, store, process, integrate and manage exception-based accounts, along with all of the unstructured content that encompasses them. The result is single, system-wide workflow solution that enables healthcare organizations to:
OnBase RCM combines the best of OnBase's Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repository with a client-definable RCM user interface, along with simultaneous access to your line-of-business billing and AR system for seamless integration and ease of use – a key step for efficient workflow. Moreover, the Denial Management solution identifies the reason and source of each denied claim, allowing your staff to isolate and prevent future reoccurrence of the denial while improving training of those involved in the process. As a result, cash flow is improved, denials are reduced and staff is freed to resolve even more accounts. Oversight and management of the solution is provided through client-definable work queues, tracking performance at the facility, department, or user levels with dynamic drill-down reporting and charting tools for real-time status, data analysis and trending, and productivity.
The application tracks the complete cycle of open receivables, including both open AR and denied accounts, and it generates reports to identify the efforts that resulted in payment. Additionally, lag times between follow up and resolution are documented, providing valuable information when it comes time for contract renegotiations.
Because OnBase RCM provides the tools to capture denials, analyze trends and identify key issues that result in defects and denials, management can make informed, knowledgeable changes within those deficit areas. The account analysis application provides the tools needed to help:
The healthcare revenue cycle consists of a complex set of data-intensive work processes, inherently presenting opportunity for heightening efficiencies. Hyland Software's RCM solution enables hospitals and healthcare organizations to manage many significant aspects of the revenue cycle – at both a document and data level. This includes capturing data/documentation from the initial patient touchpoint in patient access through the final collection process, which helps ensure recovery of appropriate reimbursement for services rendered. As a result, critical information becomes immediately accessible to those people who need it, when they need it and within the applications they use most. Organizations can automate the handling of data and information from practically any source and seamlessly integrate with any application, thereby reducing manual work effort and the potential for error. In addition, once data is captured and resides within the system, data analytics and report mining become a natural byproduct of the solution's workflow, thereby providing improved business intelligence for more informed business decisions.
OnBase Revenue Cycle Management keeps your cash flowing.
OnBase by Hyland helps you improve customer service, reduce operating costs and minimize risk. It does this by providing you with instant access to all your data, documents and business processes from wherever you are, whatever device you are using or application you are working in.

We followed all package instructions - our adult dog chewed on the Pedigree Jumbone until it was gone. Began drinking lots of water, started acting strange. Turns out the Jumbone did NOT dissolve, did NOT have a chewy center... it became lodged in his esophagus 360 degrees. Took a 5 and a half hour surgery to remove and repair esophagus from damage inflicted by this product. It is NOT worth your dogs life to give him this product as a chew-treat. PLEASE help save other dogs by avoiding this product.
Pros: NONE
Cons: Almost killed our dog!

Memorex sparks USB flash drive into lifeSeptember 9, 2003
Flash drive maker adds boot featureAugust 12, 2003
Booming market seen for USB drivesNovember 11, 2002
The product, dubbed Migo and made by Forward Solutions, transfers a user's customized desktop--including the desktop background image with personal settings, Internet favorites, e-mail accounts, MP3 files and documents--onto a device the size of a key, according to Forward Solutions.
"Mobile computing users now can increase their productivity by essentially taking a snapshot of their computers and carrying it on a keychain wherever they go, limiting the need for hauling heavy laptops, external CD-ROM drives or other less convenient devices," said Joshua Feller, president and chief operating officer of Forward Solutions.
Forward Solutions announced the Migo product Monday.
Migo is one of a number of flash memory devices that connect to Universal Serial Bus ports. Small, portable and relatively cheap, the devices have become an increasingly popular replacement for floppy diskettes for transferring files between PCs. Last year, market research firm Semico Research predicted the market for the devices would grow from 10 million units and $100 million in revenue in 2002 to 50 million units and $3.8 billion in revenue by 2006.
Migo stands out because of its software, according to Forward Solutions. The product's PocketLogin software automatically synchronizes Microsoft Outlook e-mail accounts, including contacts and calendars--allowing users to send and receive e-mail while away from their main computer and logged on elsewhere, Forward Solutions said.
Security features embedded both in Migo's hardware and the PocketLogin software safeguard critical data, the company said.
Migo is available through computer resellers nationally for $149.95 for a 128MB version and $199.95 for a 256MB version, Forward Solutions said.
The product currently supports the USB 1.1 standard.

Unverified Roofing Contractors
Selecting a Roofing Contractor in Guilford County, North Carolina
Avoid roofing companies that don't have proper credentials
Finding quality Greensboro, NC roofing contractors should be simple, but it's complicated by the fact that there are a lot of unprofessional roofers in Guilford County and in nearly every other town in America. These "fly-by-night" roofing companies sometimes operate like this:
- Offer a very low quote to get you're business
- Cut corners to reduce roofing costs or come up with excuses as to why the roof ended up costing more than planned
- Offer excuses as to why they don't have their license or insurance certificate available... then never quite get around to producing those documents
- May use illegal or undocumented workers
- May use improper roof installation techniques due to inexperience, lack of training, and corner cutting
How to ensure the roofer you select is a professional
To help ease the burden, Hometown Roofing Contractors collects trusted roofing reviews and pre-qualifies roofing contractors by verifying their credentials. We have confirmed and listed valid state license (if required by your state), liability insurance certificate, and other items like certifications and workmanship guarantees. These documents were valid at the time of the screening, but changes could have occurred since, so it's always appropriate to ask for evidence of the roofing contractor's credentials at the time of the estimate.
- Ask to see the contractors license (if required in your state) and make sure that the license is current
- Ask to see the roofing contractor's insurance certificates
- Ask if the roofer has any other affiliations or certifications that give an indication of quality
- Ask for their address to see if they are locally based. Storm chasers in from out of town may be less accountable than a Guilford County roofing contractor that has a local reputation to protect
- Ask what materials the roofer specializes in
- Ask the roofing company for references in the area

i am a great iso scorer. i am 5 7 with explosive speed and great shooting abilities but sometimes in game i am lacking the confidence to take the tough fade aways that i am comfertable taking does anyone have any pre game or just any way that i can get the confidence back? by the way i am a freshman in high school currently playing AAU if that matters at all
Why take the tough fade aways, just do what comes natural and play your game. But if u really have use that fade away make sure u practice it enough til won't make no sense to doubt yourself, like me for example I doubt my handles during games , so i make sur i do a hundred dribbles stationary and on the move repetivaley. All in all use your strengths and work on your weakness, and try to have a game that incorporates everything from postmoves to passing, no matter what your position is. hope it helps.

Lots of people dismiss this because of the presentation; don't let that distract you….it's really outstanding. If I was really looking for the answers to your questions I would write out the lyrics, maybe even divide them between the players (watch it you'll see).
If you need more information or clarification let me know….enjoy

Temasek seeks SingTel as buyer for $3.9b Shin Corp stake: Sources
Published on Feb 18, 2014 8:32 AM
SINGAPORE/HONG KONG (REUTERS) - Singapore state investor Temasek Holdings Pvt Ltd is seeking to sell its US$3.1 billion (S$3.9 billion) stake in Thai telecom company Shin Corp, according to people familiar with the matter, and has approached its SingTel unit as a possible buyer.
Temasek, which owns 41.6 per cent of Shin Corp through a subsidiary, held talks with Singapore Telecommunications Co, as SingTel is formally known, late last year, but those discussions have since stalled, said the people, who declined to be identified as the information is not public.
Temasek owns a majority stake in SingTel.
The ongoing political unrest in Thailand was among the reasons the discussions were put on hold, the people said.

In time trial races, I see people are using these big chainrings. Is 50/11 combination doesn't give enough top speed? What's the real advantage? I can only think of the negative, which is it makes the speed difference between two cogs wider.
UCI time trials are a class race contested in the tiny fractions of a percent, tiny differences in equipment become very important. Riders practice in wind tunnels to tweak everything from clothing to pedalling style, because a shift that gives an overall gain of 0.01% in speed can result in a win.
Considering more than just the top gear, the jump from 50/11 - 50/12 (the two highest gears) and 54/12 - 54/13 is noticeably bigger (9% vs 8%). That may well explain the change, even if it results is slightly lower peak speed, since it means that on slight slopes the rider has better gear options available. Note that on downhill sections the 54/12 rider has the 54/11 ratio available, where the 50/11 rider has no choice but to spin faster.
The difference between gearing 50/11 and 54/12 is about 1% (4.545454... vs 4.5). The larger chainring is bigger and heavier so it has more aero drag but lower mechanical losses (especially the loss difference between 11T and 12T is significant... but that loss should be less than 2% of the total power output). I suspect the human power output difference between those two at a given speed is less important than the comfort factor of being able to choose a gear that feels right.
It does not even have to translate directly into better average or total power output from the rider, as long as it gives a better time. Also possible is that it makes the rider feel faster, and that directly affects performance.
edit in response to imel96's question in comments: explain more about gear ratio selection (sorry, can't do tables here so you're seeing a spreadsheet turned into preformatted text)
When riding people care about pedal rpm, which is determined by gearing. Humans have a power/speed curve. The further from their optimum cadence they are, the less efficient they are (and in a time trial efficiency is what matters). The closer the gear ratios are, the closer to the right gear they can get so the closer to their peak efficiency point they can stay.
This wee table shows what's likely to be the next 4 cogs lower than the original question on the two cassettes we're discussing. The question I'm looking at here is "going up a slight rise, what gear options are available".
The immediate answer is that the 54T rider can make a slightly smaller shift. Ratios let us ignore the actual gear and focus on the size of the shift. The 54T rider shifts to a gear 92.3% of their current one, the 50T rider drops to 91.67%. And that happens every time - on average the next lower gear is 93% for the 54T rider, and 92.54% for the 50T.
(it's possible that the 54/12 rider will keep the 11T small cog so they have a downhill gear, but we can ignore that for this comparison because in that case the 50/11 rider is out of options).
That sounds really minor, but remember that those riders are fighting it out in the fractions of a percentage point.
Time trials are about generating the maximum sustained power possible. Not many people can do that at 100+ rpm. Time trial gearing needs to match the rpm that the rider generates maximum power vs the terrain. A bigger chainring provides closer gear ratios.
After all these events are won by seconds over an hours effort. Even the tiniest percent improvement in efficiency matters.

Cal Trend Pet Print Seat Covers
Reviewed By Tina D (MINDEN, NV) —4/20/2015 7:47 AM
Absolutely love them!!! I purchased the black seat covers with the tan and black paw print in the center. They were easy to install and quick. The fit is purfect for all the seat levers and because they are individual it allows access to the rear with out hassel. The head rest covers were made to short, so I contacted Cal Trend and they asked for additional information and pictures, made new ones at no cost and sent them. Excellent Customer Service. Excellent Product. Excellent experience!!!
!So much better than chaper brands1

We are very satisfied with the seat covers we purchased. They fit like they were put on in the factory - very nice looking. Not sure how easy they were to install as our grandson installed them for us. He was also very pleased with the outcome.

Hey Guys/Girls.
Quick question for you all :
*Would you pay 19 $ / month for an account on a site where you find other people that have the same dreams as you, then you can team with other people that want the same things as you and you can all take action for your dreams to become reality…
I hope you get the picture.
Thanks for your answer!
I like the idea, but in this day in age paying for an online 'service' without an immediate return on investment doesn't seem likely. It sounds like you're thinking kickstarter.com meets a social network you have to pay for? I initially thought at first you meant a site where you could find people who have dreamed similar dreams in their sleep as you. Now that would be an interesting connection between people. Still, I think its hard to charge for an account when every popular online community is free.
Hey thinkbigstudios,
I personally think before you start any sort of membership site, be prepared to give value, value and Value! Sometimes business isn't all about earning and profiting, but also giving. I'm not sure about the idea you are proposing, but anything you do, make sure people feel valued. And they will invest.
Thank you for your answers!

Thisbook is an invaulable tool and guide for educators, policymakers,and others interested in raising student achievement." (John L.Anderson, president, New American Schools)

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Scientists at the National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST) here have developed a biological process for the extraction of coir fibre from coconut husk without the environmental hazards associated with conventional retting.
The 'clean' process developed by the environmental technology group at the NIIST unit here involves the use of enzymes to separate the fibres by converting plant compounds into soluble compounds. A high-rate anaerobic reactor removes the dissolved substances.
According to R.S. Praveen Raj, scientist (IP Management & Technology Transfer), NIIST, the technology has the potential to curb the pollution of water-bodies caused by retting of coconut husks.
The clean bioprocess can also be used for processing of natural fibres like jute, banana and pineapple leaf.

I've been doing a fair bit of photography lately, so I thought I'd post a few of the shots I've taken recently. Since my last post I purchased a Canon 6D, and I've been shooting mostly with the 17-40mm f4.0L, but a little bit with the 50mm f1.8
I'm finding myself more interested in taking shots of people lately, so I've got plans to purchase a 85mm prime lens. I'm in saving mode since I plan to go overseas soon, so it'll probably end up being the f1.8 version, rather than the seriously expensive f1.2
As usual you can find more of my shots over at http://carpenachos.tumblr.com/ I'd really appreciate the followers if anyone else uses tumblr :)

If cost were not an issue I think there would be enough boats in the 35 to 40 foot range to provide a secondary 'fleet' to keep in touch with one another.
I saw on the rally website that the average (median?) length of the entrants is 47 feet. Getting up there.
From the blogs and interviews I've read, these rallys started as a grass-roots way to provide a passage with guidance and protection offered by having a caravan...and introducing an aspect of competition to it all.
Its a shame that dollars and cents have changed this into yet another open ocean race where the entry criteria are catering to the deepest wallets...wonder if this is run as for profit or not for profit.

Three Indian women – Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chanda Kochhar and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw – have made it to the annual Forbes list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women of 2014. On this list of the world's most powerful women, German Chancellor Angela Merkel stands first, followed by former US Secretary of State and First Lady of the US Hillary Clinton at Rank 6, and current US First Lady Michelle Obama at Rank 8 among the 100 names.
Forbes is known for compiling its list of 100 women with the most impact. Power is no longer judged by the traditional understanding of economic or political power. It has become a volatile force, with its interpretation ever changing. The list includes top politicians, finance and business leaders, activist, billionaires and celebrities who matter and make a difference across the globe. They are ranked by their net worth, avenues of influence, plan of action and media coverage.
Arundhati Bhattacharya, Rank 36
In this reputed list, Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chair-Managing director, State Bank of India (SBI), ranks at number 36. She holds a net worth of $380 billion in assets, making her a powerful figure in the Asian sphere of influence. She makes history for being one of the first women, along with being one of the youngest, to hold such a high post. From 1977 to 2013 she has worked tirelessly to move up the ladder. She has been seen working in multiple roles in the SBI, including in foreign exchange, treasury, retail operations, human resources and investment banking. Bhattacharya has been the face behind major reforms in agriculture, industry and the financial sector. She has also been there for her female counterparts by introducing policies that benefit child or elderly care, and serving on a team to create blueprints for the first all-women's bank.
Chanda Kochhar, Rank 43
Not too far behind Arundhati Bhattacharya is Chanda Kochhar, the CEO-Managing director, ICICI Bank, at rank number 43. She is the caretaker of assets worth $125 billion. She has been the wave of change after the bank suffered a financial crisis in 2008. Her innovative idea to stress on "mobile banking" in rural areas to gain more clients has been widely appreciated. She has also been a vocal advocate of more explicit banking laws with the help of the new Central government led by new Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Rank 92
At rank 92 is Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, the founder of India's leading biotechnology enterprise, Biocon Ltd. With a net worth of $655 million, she is the wealthiest self-made woman. Biocon is famous for making low-cost drugs for chronic diseases, everything from head and neck cancers to diabetes, and delivers affordable medical products to partners in 70 countries. This year she set a benchmark by developing an affordable HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. She is a recent donor of an handsome amount of $5 million for a new research unit at her cancer hospital in Bangalore.
Sonia Gandhi, the President of the Indian National Congress appeared on the list in 2013. However there is no mention of her in the new 2014 list. It seems that her party's loss has not only had serious national repercussions, but international too.

Connecting Panasinic TX-L42ET5E with laptop to play 3D?
by gandalf117 - 12/17/12 1:58 AM
I have connected my laptop to the TV with HDMI cable. The TV is a brand new Panasinic model TX-L42ET5E. My laptop is powerful too. It's HP, 8RAM, dual-core 3.20Ghz, 1GB ATI Radeon video card but NOT with 3D capable monitor (which shouldn't matter because my TV has this capability). This is the second 3D movie I am trying to play on this TV if you count the one I saw when I tested it in the store. That one played beutifully.
The player I am using to play 3D movies is ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 3.1160 Platinum. I have downloaded a huge 40GB movie and it plays perfectlly in the player and when on the TV. You can see the red lines and that the picture is a little fuzzy when in 3D mode.
The problem is that when I put the glasses on the 3D effect doesn't happen! The glasses are tested and they work 100%, the TV is tested and it works. There is a special button on the TV remote called 3D that enables the 3D effects. Eventually what I see with the glasses is the exact same thing that I see without them, only a bit darker - that is the movie but with some the red lines and fuzziness but no 3D effect.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? please help
