Tonigh Show host Jay Leno will be the Grand Marshal at the 28th Annual Love Ride in October.
Tonight Show host, Jay Leno, will lead thousands of bikers to Castaic Lake for the 28th annual Love Ride on October 23, 2011. As the largest and perhaps most eagerly-anticipated motorcycle ride-for-charity in the country, Love Ride is a mega-event that draws thousands of generous motorcycle enthusiasts, concert-goers, and a number of celebrities each year to partake in the pleasures of helping others while enjoying music from top American artists.
This year the award-winning country duo of Montgomery Gentry brings their special sound and personality to the main stage. Beloved by fans for their story-telling music style and personal values, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry also ride Harleys – a combination that promises to make Love Ride 2011 an unforgettable biker experience.
"The Love Ride is truly unique because it's not just entertainment for charity," notes event founder Oliver Shokouh. "It's a full-immersion experience that lets people participate in a way that raises the spirit of giving to high levels, mainly because it feels so good."
No Love Ride would be complete without its loyal celebrity supporters. This years' cast of characters includes Robert Patrick, Peter Fonda, Lorenzo Lamas, Larry Hagman and Willie G. Davidson (plus typical surprise celebrities)—all dedicated Love Ride veterans who can often be found mingling with fellow bikers.
Perhaps perfectly named, the Love Ride is that rare charity event that bikers look forward to every year. Version 2011 promises to amplify this annual rite with a mix of new and traditional elements designed to melt hearts—and pry open a few wallets—for a worthy cause. Since Love Ride's humble beginning in 1984, thousands have come together year after year to support its causes, experience some of the best music in the country and enjoy quality food with like-minded people.
Great music is known for its ability to elevate the spirit. Exceptional live performances by world-renowned artists are a tradition at Love Ride and a cornerstone of its unparalleled success. Music legends such as Bruce Springsteen, ZZ Top, Cheryl Crow, Foo Fighters, B.B. King, CSN, the Doobie Brothers and many more helped Love Ride achieve status as the largest one-day motorcycle fundraiser in the country with a total of more than $13 million given to children's charities since 1984.
The music will highlight a day dedicated to an important cause. That cause is autism, a challenging neurological disorder that affects a growing number of children and their parents each year. As in 2010, the Love Ride charity is Autism Speaks™, the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism. Through the generosity of bikers and everyone involved year after year, the Love Ride can make a significant impact on the disorder.
This year, Love Ride greets a major new supporter, the Southern California
Dealers Association. The 22-strong dealer group adds an important new feature to the event by offering each of their dealerships as launch points for the ride. This approach will make it more convenient for bikers to start their rides while also improving logistical aspects for a smooth beginning to the day.
Castaic Lake is the setting for the 28th Annual Love Ride to help raise funds for Autism Speaks.
Castaic Lake, with its rolling hills, shade trees, and the beautiful lake makes an ideal setting for a long list of activities: The music of Montgomery Gentry backed by hand-picked gourmet food purveyors, motorcycle stunt shows, plus an eclectic variety of vendors with souvenirs to take home. Proud bikers can also display their rides in a bike show and special prizes for top fund-raisers will also be featured.
All makes of motorcycles are welcome to participate in the Love Ride. And even if you don't ride a motorcycle but want donate and hear a great concert in beautiful Castaic Lake, there is ample and free parking for cars and trucks too.
"Everyone involved is working in concert to make the Love Ride a most auspicious event," said Shokouh. "The cooperative spirit is just the antidote for the still-lingering effects of a tough recession. It reflects our values as well as those of our sponsors and the many volunteers needed to make Love Ride 2011 another huge success."

Magical Realism
Retablos ornately carved, three dimensional display cases were originally transported on the shoulders of Spanish priests who used them as portable altars in the Andes. After the Catholic Church withdrew from the mountains in the face of the Peruvian independence movement, the impoverished residents of Ayacucho began to create native versions, adding their own religious symbology to these traditional missionary artworks.
They took a Spanish magic religious object and converted it into an object with double magic, explains Steve Stein, the leading expert in the field. If the retablistas of Ayacucho made double magic, then contemporary folk artist Nicario Jiménez has created quadruple magic. By using a traditionally religious handicraft to make powerful personal and political statements, he has taken the retablo from a quirky souvenir item to groundbreaking artwork, earning a well deserved place in the Smithsonians permanent collection.
I am from a tiny, tiny town. I was very poor. In the Seventies I started to incorporate themes of Peruvian life. My best pieces are about the guerrillas, the terrorists ... political themes, says Jiménez. Now I am living full time in North America; I am making many pieces about immigration. Jiménezs native tongue is an Andean language called Quechua, but he speaks in beautifully accented English. He still works with traditional tools, carving a curious mixture of boiled potatoes and plaster of Paris with a toothpicklike instrument to bring scenes of warfare, tradition, and the timely conflicts of migration vividly to life. This week Jiménez will meet art lovers at his first retrospective. The exhibition opens Thursday, April 13, with a roundtable discussion led by Steve Stein and Carol Damian, co-authors of Popular Art and Social Change in the Retablos of Nicario Jiménez Quispe. It will continue today from 4:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Miami. Call 305-284-2792, or visit www.retablosnicario.com.

Housing Works also sells rare books online, a venture King says he intends to expand. Recent sales include a first edition of Junkie, which went for $450, and a first edition of Wilhelm Reich's 1951 treatise on "orgone energy," which brought $500. The current prize, locked in a case at the front of the store, is a 1958 French edition of Les Américains, a book of photographs by Robert Frank. Asking price: $2750.
The store owes some of its status to Jennifer Bluestein, a 27-year-old publicist at Howard Rubenstein Associates. Bluestein, who discovered Housing Works when she worked at The New Yorker and Harper's, recognized the need for the managers to systematically seek out contacts in the literary world who could help publicize the space. To that end, she assembled an advisory board that includes fiction writers, book review editors, book publicists, and lit-mag editors whose ages range from 26 to 35.
The board does a lot of brainstorming, but its main job is to suggest authors for readings and then persuade publicists to donate the required 20 copies of the author's book. Bluestein says the board's existence proves there are industry people who are "generous," "intellectually curious," and not consumed with "café society." "It's a sitcom for smart, committed people," she jokes.
Jonathan Lethem, a novelist who sits on the board, says he was inspired to serve both by the "almost eerie quietude and generosity" of the store and the "funk and ferocity" of the mother organization. Lethem finds "something tonic" about turning publishing types into altruists, given that the literary world tends to be "pretty snide and selfish."
"Whether it's through volunteering or donating books or providing readings," says Charles King, "this is a very tangible way for people in publishing to support the fight against homelessness and AIDS."

How much can the format of your resume have on your chances of getting selected?
With many applicants to a single position it can be very difficult to get that all important interview so that you can sell yourself in person. Your resume has to make you both standout and show that you are the perfect fit for the job. Too often well qualified and experienced candidates lose out to other applicants just because their resumes are better able to show that they meet the job requirements. It is therefore vital that you take a huge amount of care when crafting your resume.
Using medical resume examples
Medical resume templates and other 2014 resume examples can give you a lot of ideas as to what you need to include within your resume as well as to how they should look. However when looking at these medical resume examples you do need to keep in mind that you are looking to stand out from your competitors. This does not mean submitting your resume on pink perfumed paper but it may mean not having your resume look like 90% of the other applications. The important thing with any resume is that the person reading can quickly see the information that they are specifically looking for which means tailoring your resume for each and every application if you want to be successful.
How to write a successful resume
Rather than spend time trying to choose which resume format 2014 from all of the medical resume examples will best fit you it is best to think about exactly what the recruiter is looking for with regards to this specific job. Your resume needs to show very quickly that you posses all of the qualities that they are asking from the job advert. This means that you must;
- Don't just list back the skills they are looking for, back up your statement with an example
- Show your achievements
- Back up your achievements with numbers where possible
- Use action verbs such as planned
- Explain how your skills will provide benefits
A truly successful medical resume
In addition to ensuring that your resume reflects everything that they are looking for with clear examples you must also ensure that your resume is written with extreme care;
- Avoid all written mistakes; proofread thoroughly several times
- Only use what is relevant within your resume
- Avoid the use of clichés, negative comments, obvious statements
- Don't make your resume cluttered, white space can be used to highlight important facts
- Use bullet points
- Put most important and relevant skills etc at the top

German sprinter will likely encounter rival Mark Cavendish during his race debut.
Marcel Kittel will likely go head-to-head with rival Mark Cavendish at this year's Friends Life Tour of Britain, as organisers confirmed his participation today.
Kittel headlines a sprint-focused Giant-Shimano squad for his debut in the race, although Cavendish – who has won eight stages in the last three editions of the race – is believed to have the likes of Paris-Roubaix winner Niki Terpstra and Michal Kwiatkowski to call upon.
The race's curtain raiser in Liverpool on September 7, as well as the finale in London a week later, are where bunch sprints are most likely to happen. Kittel has already enjoyed success in Britain this year, winning in Harrogate and the capital during this year's Tour de France Grand Départ.
"The first goal here will be to target the flat stages for a sprint with Marcel," said DS Marc Reef. "The race presents plenty of different opportunities and it will be quite open for the riders to take their own chances.
"Teun [van Erp, Giant's Scientific Expert] has analysed the finishes on Google maps and using the GPX files from the race, and this helps us in making our plan for each stage.":
Tinkoff-Saxo will be lead in the race by Nicolas Roche. He will have former Tour of Britain stage winner and race leader Nikolai Trusov, Chris Juul-Jensen, Rory Sutherland, Manuele Boaro, and Danish youngster Rasmus Guldhammer for company.
A full startlist is expected to be announced tomorrow (Tuesday), with former winners Bradley Wiggins (Sky) and Lars Boom (Belkin) expected to appear on it.
Giant-Shimano Tour of Britain 2014 line-up: Marcel Kittel (Ger), Brian Bulgac (Ned), Tom Stamsnijder (Ned), Tom Veelers (Ned), Albert Timmer (Ned), Bert de Backer (Bel).

When you play the Forza Motorsport game on an Xbox One, you can make sudden shifts in direction and speed with your virtual car, and your controller will help you feel every bump and rumble.
It must have felt a lot like that in Redmond on Tuesday.
That's when Microsoft announced that beginning June 9, it would start selling a $399 version of the Xbox One - a version without the Kinect motion control technology that was locked into the $499 launch version.
The company also said it would not require a $60 annual membership in its Xbox Live Gold service before you can access popular apps like Netflix and Hulu on your Xbox One.
These new moves were necessary because Sony's new Playstation 4, which was $399 at launch, has been outselling the Xbox One. But the changes also represent more evidence of a new day in Microsoft's Redmond, WA. headquarters.
I've been covering this company for nearly two decades, and I've never seen more gear-shifting and strategy tweaking than I have in the past couple of years. I'm sure it'sa realization that the game has indeed changed for the company - even in gaming, which has been one of its few bright spots as personal computer sales dwindled and it's been forced to play catch-up in the mobile space.
I'm seeing a Microsoft that's more willing to admit and correct mistakes - if not by word, then at least by deed. It's been more open-minded about strategy shifts. I have no idea if Tuesday's announcement was dictated by new CEO Satya Nadella, but as someone who has worked with various media relations teams from the company over the years, I coudn't help notice that Microsoft had a video featuring key Xbox players Phil Spencer and Yusuf Mehdi deployed on websites and YouTube on Tuesday.
Yes, the video spoke more about giving customers options and choices, which is standard corporate language for we can ready industry sales reports just like everyone else. But there was another audience for that video, and it's the developers who Microsoft needs to keep writing games that use the Kinect technology.
We'll continue to innovate on Kinect, Spencer said on the video. I think that's an important differentiator for us, but I also know that there are people out there who want to make that choice when they want to make it.'
It also wasn't fair to charge $60 for an Xbox Live Gold membership before you paida monthlyNetflix fee, or any of the other app subscription fees, before accessing them on an Xbox One. It was something Microsoft had to do to make sure the Xbox One becomes the living room entertainment hub that it was touted to be during launch.
Believe me, the Microsoft I knew from the 1990s and early 2000's was a lot different when it came to mistakes and strategy shifts. The company became a huge aircraft carrier. Those don't exactly turn on a dime, something that smaller, nimbler companies are able to do.
Microsoft will never be a startup again. But maybe it's trying to act like one anyway.

crying already
brb grabbin popcorn!!
hes pleading with me because he knows theres nothing he can do to protect his feelings
we were just taught he was a jew those schools dont give us backup facts
oh look kris has nothing better to do than watch a stupid internet arguement that andcas automatically wins because stupid arguement
user:Storm In A Teacup has made a post!
no other user gives a fuk tho, just like any other time user:Storm In A Teacup makes a post!
im sorry storm, i'm at work and don't have anything to do!
gettin paid tho!!
whatre you doing, by chance?
Album Rating: 3.5"as a german you should know it's been a heavy rumor in history when discussing what his deal was with jews"
Yes, rumor. As much as every conspiracy theory ever and that it's not even accepted as valid (scientific) historic theory as antisemitism has a lot of various other sources in Austria and Germany. Especially historically. Not that I expect that anybody outside of Europe would care or care to educate themselves about this.
why should they malleus.
@kris that sucks man, honestly it's a drag when you're at work and there's no work. im getting my grandparents house clean while I wait for the auction people to come pickup this art. one of them is a painting of the three nude women on the rock in the ocean and its starting bid will be three grand. I think thats crazy cuz its a painting thats smaller than a piece of paper
damn another reason not to trust mid western education
Album Rating: 3.5"we were just taught he was a jew those schools dont give us backup facts"
fucking lol. Talk about credibility. But hey, at least you can blame it on your education. Better than being deliberately ignorant.
hey I realized I attended a school thats more worried about building an empire before I graduated so I feel they taught me something worthwhile.
He did kill himself lol
Album Rating: 3.5I doubt he was self-loathing considering he had delusions of grandeur, especially towards the end - thinking someone as unqualified as him could actually play tactician was just plain stupid in every conceivable sense. Also, it's not really a new thing that fanatics/zealots do things like kill themselves.
Also, it's already funny as it is in retrospect.
Album Rating: 3.5And because he was a zealot who probably valued his ego more than his life.
Album Rating: 3.5Yeah, I did but it's been some time. (you basically can't escape that stuff here, you will be confronted with Hitler and the Third Reich until it comes out of your ears)
Although also quite a bunch of schools here don't properly educate on that topic.
Album Rating: 3.5Neither, they don't go into the gritty details of things - into the historical context that's way older than you would think. The whole story is a lot more complex than it would seem on first sight, for example most people know that the NSDAP had a majority considering their votes and that they basically got elected democratically - but what a lot of people don't know is that without the support of the industrials and the presidential cabinet Hitler probably never would've risen to power. The irony of which was that they actually thought they were able to 'restrain and control' him.
Or that the completely chaotic structure of incompetence (as it was dual structure between people with his ideology but without any qualifications and people with qualifications which were most likely opportunists) was most likely intended as it worked for the benefit of the Reich.
Both my grandpas served in WWII My grandpa on my dad's side got seperated from his unit and was stranded in Japan trying to get out of the country for awhile. It was the same week the bombs were dropped. That's a stressful situation. He found out the war was over when he found the American military chilling at a city dock.
I'm not sure why but an army vet came to talk to my 8th grade drama class and he taught us how to properly crush a trachea. Our drama teacher made us promise not to tell anyone what we heard.
Album Rating: 3.5lol

Michigan has a rich organized labor history, and much has been written about the early days of the United Auto Workers Union.
In "Built In Detroit: A Story of the UAW, a Company, and a Gangster", author Robert Morris looks at the union's infancy through the eyes of his father. Ken Morris was a regional director of the union, and in a time when union officials faced not just resistance but also acts of violence, he suffered a brutal beating.
State workers would no longer have to fork out four-percent of their salaries to keep their pensions if a judge's ruling stands.

Booz Allen: Leaker Made $122,000 Per Year, And Is Now Fired
9:42 AM, Jun 11, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER
Booz Allen confirms the NSA leaker was an employee of the consulting firm who made $122,000 per year. And, the firm says, he is no longer employed by Booz Allen.
"Booz Allen can confirm that Edward Snowden, 29, was an employee of our firm for less than 3 months, assigned to a team in Hawaii. Snowden, who had a salary at the rate of $122,000, was terminated June 10, 2013 for violations of the firm's code of ethics and firm policy. News reports that this individual has claimed to have leaked classified information are shocking, and if accurate, this action represents a grave violation of the code of conduct and core values of our firm. We will work closely with our clients and authorities in their investigation of this matter," reads the new statement.

Any SIM can be inserted into it and it can be used in any part of the country just like a cell phone
Davangere: The Davangere district telecom has launched the GSM fixed mobile instrument for the first time in the Karnataka telecom circle and people could insert any of their mobile SIM cards into it and use the phone just like a cell phone any where in the country. Though it is not as small as other mobile handsets, it is very handy.
S. Jyothi Shankar, General Manager of the district telecom, was speaking at the BSNL Mela here on Monday. He said that people could send SMS with the help of the instrument which has a phone book to store the important telephone numbers of the users.
The BSNL would give a charger, rechargeable battery, data card and a Bindas 54 SIM card along with a special voucher of Rs. 45 for those who buy the new instrument costing Rs. 2,184. He further noted that those who buy the instrument will get the Bindas 54 SIM card free of cost along with the set with which they can make calls at one paisa per second.
Mr. Jyothi Shankar said the district telecom has continued to give rent-free wireless fixed landline connections to rural customers at Rs. 250 for two years with ten free calls per month.
For this rural communication facility, installation charges of Rs. 300 has been waived.
Even in Broadband connections, installation charges of Rs. 250, registration and security deposits have been waived, he said adding that the subscriber would get free usage for the first 15 days under all the plans. A modem costing Rs. 1,040 will be given free of cost to subscribers of the BSNL broadband connections, he added. Earlier, Mr. Jyothi Shankar inaugurated the BSNL mela by lighting a lamp at the Customer Service Centre.

Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you.
A statement from Saddam's Baath party on November 8, 1998, called for "the highest levels of jihad" against American interests. "The escalation of the confrontation and the disclosure of its dimensions and the aggressive intentions now require an organized, planned, influential and conclusive enthusiasm against U.S. interests."
And Saddam Hussein celebrated the attacks on September 11, 2001. "The American cowboys are reaping the fruit of their crimes against humanity," he declared just days after the worst terrorist attack on American soil.
These are just four examples out of dozens. Despite his claims to the contrary, Saddam Hussein regarded the United States as an enemy. And for years he demonstrated his willingness to work with Islamists by, among other things, working with Islamists. The Senate report fails to provide any of this contextual balance to the denials of detained Iraqi officials. It is a revealing omission that raises serious doubts about the quality of the reporting throughout the 52 pages examining Iraq's links to al Qaeda.
There is much to quarrel with in the report. But it is worth spending a moment to consider the vast amount of information that was left out of the committee's treatment of Iraq's links to al Qaeda. A few examples:
There is no mention in the report of Abdul Rahman Yasin, an Iraqi who admitted mixing the chemicals for the bomb used in the 1993 World Trade Center attack, cited in the July 2004 Senate report as an al Qaeda operation. The mastermind of that attack, Ramzi Yousef, is the nephew of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Two weeks after the bombing, according a July 2004 report issued by the same Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Yasin fled to Iraq with Iraqi assistance. ABC News reported in 1994 that a Baghdad neighbor of Yasin's told them that he travels freely and "works for the government."
There is no mention of documents recovered in postwar Iraq confirming that the Iraqi regime provided Yasin with housing and funding after his return to Iraq until the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003. Vice President Dick Cheney has discussed these documents in television and radio interviews.
There is no mention of documents unearthed by reporters with the Toronto Star and the London Telegraph. The documents, expense reports from the Iraqi Intelligence Service, contain an exchange of memos between IIS officers about who will pay for a March 1998 trip to Baghdad by a "trusted confidante" of Osama bin Laden. The documents were provided to the U.S. intelligence community. "I have no doubt that what we found is the real thing," wrote Mitch Potter, a reporter for the Toronto Star, and one of the journalists who found the documents in the bombed-out headquarters of the Iraqi Intelligence Service days after the fall of Baghdad. Intelligence and military sources tell THE WEEKLY STANDARD that the documents are corroborated by telephone intercepts from March 1998.
There is no mention of documents showing that the Iraqi regime cultivated a relationship with bin Laden's chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, throughout the 1990s. Time magazine's Joe Klein, an Iraq War critic who is dubious of a broader Iraq-al Qaeda relationship, noted last week: "Documents indicate that Saddam had long-term, low-level ties with regional terrorist groups--including Ayman al-Zawahiri, dating back to his time with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. There is strong evidence as well that elements of the Special Republican Guard ran terrorist training camps." (One quibble: Is it possible for the leader of Iraq to have "low-level" ties with the leader of Egyptian Islamic Jihad?) The 9/11 Commission reported that Zawahiri "had ties of his own to the Iraqis." In June 2003, U.S. News & World Report described what a defense official called a "potentially significant link" between Iraq and al Qaeda that came, at that early date, from a single source. "A captured senior member of the Mukhabarat, Iraq's intelligence service, has told interrogators about meetings between Iraqi intelligence officials and top members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a group that merged with al Qaeda in the 1990s. The prisoner also described $300,000 in Iraqi transfers to the organization to pay for attacks in Egypt. The transfers were said to have been authorized by Saddam Hussein."
