It's a rare package of fun, practicality and affordability, which is great for novices and experienced riders alike. Its sporty, Ninja looks prove budget doesn't have to mean bland, while revisions to the 649cc parallel twin engine have eradicated most of the niggles that held the old model back. Video: Living with a Kawasaki ER-6f Ride Quality & Brakes 4 out of 5 It's light and agile around town, but with wide wheels and sticky tyres it can dance along B-roads too. Its sleek, sexy fairing provides good wind protection meaning it is a capable tourer, while its up-right riding position is comfortable and makes sense for road riding. The narrow seat and low seat height (790mm) mean it's perfect for shorties or new riders, but it never feels cramped for taller riders. The rear engine mounts have been rubber mounted, as have the handlebar mounts and pegs making it a much smoother ride. Engine 4 out of 5 Kawasaki took on board criticism of the old ER-6fs vibey engine, made some revisions and came up with a much improved 649cc parallel twin. It has smoother throttle response, especially below 4000rpm and a surprisingly accessible, wide band of power. It will sail past a ton with no problems, and needs to be hammered to reach its limits. But is still a breeze for new riders. Build Quality & Reliability 3 out of 5 It's Japanese so reliability doesn't seem to be an issue. Predictably quality is basic as befits the price tag, but this means any parts that need replacing are affordable. Irritatingly the seat is reluctant to part with the body work, and the key equally reluctant to leave the petrol cap post fuelling. You'll need to look after the ER-6 to keep it in a corrosion free state. Insurance, running costs & value 4 out of 5 The ER-6f can be a comfortable workhorse or a machine to leave you beaming from ear to ear if you want it to. It ticks all the boxes, its affordable, will make a gentle first big bike for new riders, or provide experienced riders with a fun ride. It has all the looks of a Kawasaki sports bike, but is accessible to pretty much everyone. Find a Kawasaki ER-6f for sale. Equipment 3 out of 5 This is not just an ER-6n with a fairing thrown on. Kawasaki has gone to the trouble of integrating the Ninja inspired fairing in to the design. From the front it looks like a small ZX-6R, thanks to its flush indicators and twin headlamps. Adding to its good looks are the neat underslung exhaust, side mounted shock and petal shaped brake discs. It's impossible not to fall in love with its looks, but this equipment is not just visually pleasing; it all performs. The brakes are reponsive, the dash has a fuel gauge, but is not always easy to read, and the rear shock has adjustable pre-load. By MCN Staff Owners' Reviews 8 owners have reviewed their KAWASAKI ER-6F (2009-2011) and rated it in a number of areas. Read what they have to say and what they like and dislike about the bike below.

My previous bike was the 2008 model. I'm 6ft and about 90kgs. I've been riding 30+ years and this was my first... Read more brand new bike for about 20 years. I think the bike is great value for money and looks great. Easy to ride, very nimble and agile and can hold 70 - 75 mph on the motorway with no trouble; even very fully loaded. I wouldn't say it has the effortless power of a bigger super-tourer but it is pretty good. Riding round town or on the commute is great, plenty of acceleration and pull even in top gear; gear changes nice and positive, controls easy to use. Fuel economy is OK - I get about 60 mpg from my bike - I don't thrash it. I fitted a Givi Pannier Rack to the bike and that was fairly easy. The Insurance is quite cheap. A few niggles: first of all - the mirrors are rubbish. Kawasaki need to sort this as it is a common complaint. The seat, although nice and low, which makes the bike great for shorter riders, is not very comfy on a long ride, also it is a pain to get on and off the bike. I think the 2013 model has a split seat so that's one thing sorted. I agree that you need a tank protector. The exhaust position is great for the looks of the bike, but I would like a centre stand - this would make cleaning the bike that much easier. The instrumentation is OK, nice and modern and very clear at night but a bit difficult to read in bright light. It would be nice if the bike came with a fitted power supply! As Kawasaki seem to be making regular improvements to this model, I am very likely to get another one. Very good bike - suits me just fine.

It's nice and smooth on the thottle and the power is friendly enough for any... Read more rider. I did find the engine lacking a bit when carrying pillion, but at just 71bhp (and I'm a big bloke) this isn't really surprising. The styling is excellent, but pick one of the colours and not Black - I had the black one and EVERY little scratch and mark shows. Lastly, I had mine from new and traded it in after 12 months, just before I traded it I stripped the fairings off to 'deep clean' it. I was really disappointed to find that nearly all the rubbers on the bolts needed to be replaced and some of the tubing was already on it's way out. Overall, this is a great novice bike if you feel your not ready for a sports bike. That said, I've had alot more fun on my CBR600 (2002 Rossi rep) since and can't help but feel I wasted a year 'playing it safe' on the Kwacker.

Since then, I have tried friends' Bandit, SV650s, XJ6 and Fazer, with these only helping to reassure me that I got the right bike. It may be in the budget-bike... Read more catagory, but it punches well above it. As a new biker, I wanted a reasonably low-cost all-rounder. A bike suitable for the daily commute, but something that will put a big smile on my face at the weekend. The ER6f certainly does that. The engine is lively and provides the punch when needed, the look is great with it's ninja-style lines and side-mounted rear shock, plus even the all-digital display has turned heads. I have been riding my ER6f for 9 months and she's maintained an almost spotless bill of health, which was the same for the previous owner too. The only thing I have needed to do is have one of the chain adjuster caps re-painted (at very little cost) as the paint had started to flake slightly. The rest of the paintwork has been flawless. First big bike?... A no contest in my view.

Never had more than 500cc before, but wanted something that would last rather than getting bored after a few months. Looked at the 650 Bandit SA, Yamaha... Read more 600 Divi, and this. Tried each bike a ciuple of times at different dealers but this was the one that I got off smiling each time. For a new 'big biker' or a born again like me, you can't go wrong. The handling is great, the power delivery very easily controlled and smooth rather than snatchy (goes with being a twin rather than a four pot). The run-in of 600 miles was a good chance to run myself back in too, but I was itching to go from 4000 revs to 6000 by 600 miles. Once fully run in at 1000 miles, to be honest I didn't feel the need to push it too much further for a while. I have now covered 3400 miles and absolutely love this bike! As my confidence has grown, I have teased more from the bike, but realise that even now there is so much more to offer performance-wise and this bike will last a good while yet. It has proved 100% reliable, the services are cheap at around £100. The only fault has been the LED tail light which went on the blink at 11 months old but was replaced on warranty.I have extended the warranty to 4 years for confidence as I will likely keep the bike till then at least.I can't think of anything worth changing it for without going up to supersports. If you want a bike than costs less than £6k (I paid 4900 new from Lloyd Cooper)but gives as much fun as you could want, is great round town, does 60mpg and looks like a proper Ninja then this baby is it!

Only thing lacking is a temperature gauge, although it does have a light that comes on if the engine is overheating. After... Read more swinging a leg over the seat I was further impressed by the riding position. This gives the rider a nice upright position and compared to my CBR125 I've just parted with, a much more dominant feel on the road. I haven't run the engine in yet and with the cold and wet weather conditions we've had recently I haven't really tested the bike yet, in terms of handling etc. But I've covered just over 300 miles so far and the bike is very easy to handle at slow speeds manoeuvring through rush-hour traffic. I've also had someone on the back which was no issue for the bike. As for the engine, all I can comment on at the moment is that it feels very powerful. Until the bike has been run in, I can't rev above 4,000 for first 500-600 miles and so far I haven't really needed to. Plenty of pull low down in the rev range means town riding is effortless. Duel carriageways, motorways etc. are a breeze, 4,000 revs in 6th gear is about 55mph. The bike feels very comfortable and stable at this speed and I'm guessing will be at 70mph+ aswell. On the 125 I could feel every bit of side wind and had to keep adjusting my steering and balance, the ER-6f though deals with this much better. I can't comment on the reliability due to only owning the bike for a couple of weeks, but the quality of the finish seems very high. Overall I'm very happy with this bike and would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a bigger bike. Whether upgrading from a 125 or even 500, this bike will provide plenty of fun and power to entertain.

J.A. (Jessica Ann) Redmerski is a New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and award-winner who juggles several different genres. She began self-publishing in 2012, and later with the success of THE EDGE OF NEVER, signed on with Grand Central Publishing/Forever Romance. She has since signed three more deals with GC/Forever for titles THE EDGE OF ALWAYS, SONG OF THE FIREFLIES and THE MOMENT OF LETTING GO. Her works have so far been translated into twenty languages. THE EDGE OF NEVER made it to #2 on the New York Times bestseller eBook list, and remained on the #1 spot on Amazon for two straight weeks. THE EDGE OF ALWAYS also made the New York Times bestseller list.
Jessica is a hybrid author who, in addition to working with a traditional publisher, also continues to self-publish. The Portuguese rights to her popular crime and suspense series, In the Company of Killers, have already been picked up by one of Brazil's largest publishers. KILLING SARAI, REVIVING IZABEL, THE SWAN & THE JACKAL and SEEDS OF INIQUITY are the first four books in the series, and will not be the last.
Jessica is a lover of film, television and books that push boundaries. She's a sucker for long, sweeping, epic love stories. And she binge-watches television series'. Things on Jessica's wish-list are to conquer her long list of ridiculous fears, find a shirt that she actually likes, and travel the world with a backpack and a partner-in-crime.

BibleAddictionRickman, TNAge: 35-44Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Highly Recommend!May 31, 2015BibleAddictionRickman, TNAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for NKJV Evidence Bible, Hardcover.I own several different bibles in several translations, and always like something about all of them. I'll have to say this one is probably the most useful and practical bible that I own. I purchased the hardback because it was cheaper and really didn't think I'd use it that much...but I was wrong. I really like that even in the hardback edition, it has not one, but two ribbon markers. It has the Words of Jesus in red-letters, which I know is just a personal preference, but I like it. There are several good short quotes scattered throughout the bible, which I enjoy sharing on social media. It is not large print, but even though I wear glasses, the print size is still very readable. It is a thick bible, which is to be expected, because of the good print size and all the useful information that it contains, but it's still not too cumbersome to carry to church. Of course, the NKJV has been a trusted version for years, and I think it will be for many years to come. Like I said earlier, it is useful and practical, not only for defending your faith to others, but to encourage and strenghthen your own personal faith in God, because if you're like me, sometimes you have questions yourself. I simply can't recommend this bible enough, I think it would be a help to new and seasoned believers alike. Thank You Father for Your Word!

Times are tough, folks. If our landlord suddenly decided to raise our rent or our student loans become unrelentingly high, we can only hope that our family and friends would swoop in to save the day; kind of like when we were children. Sadly, those days are long gone; but what about when we aren't the ones in that position?
I know that we all have prom dresses that are just sitting there doing absolutely nothing but taking up room in the closet!

A couple of weeks ago, I commented on a Facebook topic on KIMA-TV's page regarding getting vaccinated for influenza. I was pretty cavalier, stating that I had NEVER gotten inoculated and have NEVER had the flu, relying only on my body's own natural defenses and immune system to help ward off sickness.
Here's a story for you if you're in need of a good cry but don't feel like smashing your thumb with a hammer. One dog is so loyal to his owner, that he has continued to go to mass at the church where her funeral was held months ago. Still no tears? Read the details.
Here are the eight germiest places to avoid if you want to stay healthy!
Never, ever underestimate the power of social media.
On Sunday night (Jan. 13), country superstar Dierks Bentley's dog Jake went missing during a big thunderstorm. Bentley tweeted about his beloved pooch being lost, and the country community -- fans, artists and even the boss at Bentley's label -- rallied around him to help spread the word and support him. They also ultimately helped locate the dog.
A few days ago, a friend of mine posted a picture on his Facebook profile that has since created quite a buzz on the internet.
I remember pushing my brother around in a box as a kid and I'm sure it's a great memory for my Dad as well. Kids are bound to do and say some funny things for sure, and we want to know your favorite memory about your kids growing up?

Local racing: Germain's Casey Mears finishes 24th at Martinsville
Casey Mears of Naples-based Germain Racing battled issues all day in the NASCAR Sprint Series Cup race in Martinsville, Va., on Sunday, but rallied to finish 24th.
The issues began on the second lap when Mears was involved in a minor accident. NASCAR ordered Mears to pit to have a hanging bumper bar removed, and Mears restarted 35th. He got up as high as 16th on Lap 114, and ended up pitting, but NASCAR gave Mears a lap penalty for not holding his position under caution. Mears was spun out by David Gilliland on Lap 170. He recovered and got back in the race, but on a Lap 237 restart, Mears told his crew that his shifter broke, and the car was stuck in fourth gear.
"I'm glad we were able to keep fighting and at least finish on the lead lap and get a top 25, but we had a much better car than that," Mears said. "We just had a lot of things happen today."
Mears and the team travel to Texas Motor Speedway for the Duck Commander 500 on Sunday at 3 p.m. on FOX.

Papermaker Profiled In Nytimes Magazine: Timothy Barrett
Posted 21 February 2012 - 02:55
The article is mostly a profile of Timothy Barrett, a papermaker in residence at the University of Iowa, but also goes into some history of papermaking. He received a Fulbright grant to study papermaking in Japan, and has also been a Macarthur Foundation winner. His paper is used to assist in the preservation of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
From the description, it would be quite an honor to lay pen to some of his paper.

I wonder how I can get a sheet of his paper to touch.
Upon opening Timothy's book, right there in part 1 there are 3 actual Japanese paper samples glued into the book! They are captioned:
1. SEKISHU-HANSHI, ALL KOZO FIBER, by Kubota Yasuichi Shimane Prefecture.
2. YUNO PAPER, ALL MITSUMATA FIBER, by Naito Tsuneo, Shizuoka Prefecture.
3. OMI GAMPI PAPER, ALL GAMPI FIBER, by Naruko Tetsuo, Shiga Prefecture.
Although not Timothy's paper, these are real Japanese papers to touch. I was a amazed to be able to feel between my fingers the actual article the whole book is written about. Very cool.

1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 Vanden Majestic 4dr Sedan
I have an XJ12 Vanden Plas 4 dr 12 cyl that is hard to find reviews for so I thought I'd post mine in it's little brother's area.
This Car is AMAZING. Not only is it of superb comfort and style but the darn thing is bulletproof.
It cruises along at 60 - 70 mph without effort and feels more like you're in first class seating on an aircraft.
Everything is situated perfectly for comfort and access.
Luxuriously smooth ride, ease of access and simplicity of controls, the sunroof, the overall feel of the car...... indulgent
Easier access to parts and that's it.
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 Sovereign 4dr Sedan
Well always wanted a Jag, just had to have one and finally last year I bought my first jag 1990 Soveriegn and I love it!
Loved it so much that 6 mos later we bought at 1992 XJ6 that is exactly the same inside and out as the 1990, Twins!
Yes these cars are not for the faint of heart or wallet.
We are lucky to have someone who loves jags and knows how to fix them and knows his way around the junkyard for those hard to find parts!
These cars are a labor of love, if you don't love your jags, then don't buy one, cause they can drive you crazy with the maintenance and issues, but when they run its a blast to drive and show!
"cats gotta run"
sport mode!
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJS 2dr Convertible
My pride and joy. A great roadster. Plan on buying a hardtop XJS. These are great world class autos.
This is a large long roadster. Great on long trips.
Easier spark plug replacement.
Have had my XJ6 Sovereign for 6 years now. A great entry model into Jaguar driving, but get as late a model as possible, 1990 on up or later. Don't get 1989 or lower. If possible get a 1995 or later.
Fantastic engine - bulletproof. Nice styling, silky ride. Few have a Jag, it stands out. I love to drive it, the serene interior keeps me happy in traffic. A car for someone with stronger individualistic tendencies, and more money, although you can get a real nice one now for under $2,000.
Finicky electrics, needs better fitting of interior parts. Expensive to repair. Anything that goes wrong is noticed easier when a car is highly refined. Not very rust resistant to corrosion in certain spots. Runs on premium gas.
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series XJS 2dr Coupe
I paid $3K for this car via a friend in the Jaguar business. It was a single owner car with 35K miles. The gel coat was bad, plus I immediately spent another $3K on brakes (a full rear end job is very expensive on any XJS model prior to 95), and it's been worth every penny. I'm about to splash out on a paint job, because I love the old fashioned style of the car, and this one has chrome wire wheels as well. I may have had about 10 Jags, including 3 XJSs, 3 XJ12s, and an XJR (8) and my wife has a 2005 S-Type with all the "bells and whistles", and I think I am enjoying this as much as any, even the XJR. Don't let the low initial cost fool you though. It's not a cheap car to own.
It's smooth, has that great V12 growl, and is a real head turner. Old fashioned and hand built but with many of today's features like ABS. The chassis is incredible, with ride and handling like nothing else. This is not the car for everyone, but if you like the "character" of Jaguars you'll love it.
I wish it had the 4 speed gear box of the 95/96 model. It lacks "quickness" off the mark. Make sure you start with a good example, otherwise you'll at least triple your orignal investment in repairs to get what you want.

" These and the PL50 are terrible quality buds, I went through both of them in less than 8 months. Both times they failed they left me in an awkward position where I really needed earbuds for working. Thus I would rate these as highly undesirable as I prize reliability and quality most. I would not waste your time with these.. " --jcotteri

" Note: the star ratings are not absolute, but instead relative to its street price at this time (~$55) The pl50 represent a good value in budget IEMs, provided you like its particular sound signature and quirks.

As announced on the NEA site yesterday, Copper Canyon will receive $117,000 to support the translation, publication, and promotion, of a bilingual anthology of Chinese poets born after 1945.
This publication is part of the International Literary Exchanges, which started in 2006 and are a joint partnership between the NEA and a foreign government. In addition to this volume (which is due out in spring 2011), the General Administration of Press and Publication in China will publish a companion volume featuring contemporary U.S. poets.
In terms of Copper Canyon's anthology:
[It] will be edited by award-winning poet and editor Qingping Wang, who also will write the introduction to the volume. The anthology will be co-translated by noted Chinese literature scholars and translators Howard Goldblatt and his wife, Sylvia Li-chun Lin, who jointly received the American Translators Association Translation of the Year award in 1999 for their translation of Notes of a Desolate Man by Taiwanese novelist Chu T'ienwen.
Congrats to Copper Canyon, and this should be an interesting publication. It's a nice chunk of change, which ensures that the contributors and translators will be properly compensated, and that there will be plenty of money for marketing and promoting the anthology. I dream of getting something like this someday so that we can do all that we want to do for one of our books, without having to cut corners because of costs and budgets and whatever.

Stockholm Travel Guide
Wondering what to do in Stockholm? Prepared to be blown away by the number of enticing options. As the corporate and cultural headquarters of Nordic Europe, Stockholm is in the spotlight on the international stage. Medieval ruins and verdant parks share space with museums, important cultural institutions, world-class eateries.
Stockholm is one of the most museum-dense cities in the world—in all, there are over 100 museums in the city alone. The most famous is the Nationalmuseum, which holds Sweden's largest collection of art and artifacts. It is the primary caretaker of local artistic heritage, showcasing Swedish masters like Alexander Roslin, Carl Larsson, and Anders Zorn alongside other European painters like Rembrandt van Rijn. Sweden's Moderna Museet, or modern art museum, is also worth placement on any list of things to do in Stockholm. Visit it to see works by Picasso and Dali, amongst others. Stockholm's art scene is vibrant on the gallery level, too. The city is home to a number of internationally-recognized commercial galleries, the best of which are in the gallery district Hudiksvallsgatan.
Here's something outside the ordinary for your list of things to do in Stockholm: ride the metro. The Stockholm metro opened in 1950, and its stations are renowned for being artfully and creatively decorated. The 65.7 mile long system has been called the "longest art gallery in the world."
Still wondering what to do in Stockholm? Try attending a sporting event. The national football arena, home of Sweden's beloved soccer team, is just north of the city center. Afterward, you can explore the old streets of Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town and one of the few places in the city not transformed by modernism. The streets of Gamla Stan are still on the medieval layout and are the site several old churches, palaces, and mansions.
Busy Slussen square is Stockholm's answer to Grand Central. The main attraction here (besides a major subway stop) is the humble Nystekt Strömming (fried herring) wagon, encircled by picnic tables crowded with locals on their lunch break.
The Swedish fashion company Hennes & Mauritz opened in 1947 and has since expanded to 2,300 stores in 41 countries. Of the Stockholm locations, this H&M in Norrmalm is the largest and receives the season's newest styles first.
Stockholm's most exclusive club includes V, a 250-person VIP section.
Scottish owner Andrew Duncanson scours the globe for the best in vintage Scandinavian furniture for his shop in Östermalm. Serious design junkies are awed by the stock, including Wilhelm-Kage pottery and a limited-edition 1955 rosewood daybed by Helge Vestergaard Jensen.
The Moderna Museet, on the island of Skeppsholmen, is home to an extensive collection of modern and contemporary paintings, sketches, photography, films, and videos from Sweden and the international arts community.
The boutique (whose name means the House of Organic in Swedish) sells sophisticated clothing such as designer Camilla Norrback's wool knits and fine cotton dresses; tailored, chemical-free jackets from Stockholm-based designer Anja Hynynen; and founder Johanna Hofring's own linen shirts with croc
The spare storefront and neon sign on Sveavagen don't hint at the gifts and pieces of art to be found in the Society for Swedish Handicrafts (Svensk Hemslojd).
Open only from mid-December to mid-April, the Absolut Icebar, within the Icehotel in the small village of Jukkasjärvi, in northern Sweden, holds steady at around 23 degrees. Sure, it seems like every few months an ice bar pops up somewhere: even Vegas has one.
Take a tour of Grythyttan Vin, located in the rural northwest about three hours from Stockholm. The winery, started in 1999 by the Fritzell Brothers, produces both fruit and mulled wines and fruit vinegars—all from wild plants.
You can spend an entire night at this three-story restaurant, bar, and concert venue. Start with a cocktail at the standing-room-only Entrée lounge; then move upstairs, where long-haired, leather-booted hipsters chat beneath tulle-shaded lamps; the third floor hosts Stockholm's latest bands.
In existence since the 12th century, Gotgatan (Goth Street) is one of the longest streets in Soldermalm. The street begins at Slussen and the Stockholm Stadsmuseum (Stockholm City Museum) and ends at the Globen Arena. In between is a wide selection of pubs, restaurants, and shops.
The iconic Swedish designer Carl Malmsten opened his shop in 1940 and promoted rustic, simple furniture of quality craftsmanship and materials.
After 10 p.m., move on to Laroy, a decadent bar-club that pulls in a fashionable set.
A vast selection of 20th-century Scandinavian and Italian housewares. Murano-glass vases by Gio Ponti and Bianconi line the walls, and vintage pieces, like a Swedish birchwood sofa from the 1929 Barcelona furniture World's Fair, fill the floor.
For off-the-map art, take a 15-minute cab ride to the workingclass neighborhood of Liljeholmen.

I would argue that the anti-GG side is far more political than the GG side. I would challenge @patrickklepek to read the following http://www.popehat.com/2014/10/21/gamer-gate-three-stages-to-obit/ as a counterpoint to the VOX article. That is, GamerGate is a reaction, for good or for ill. If you would like a more even handed approach, Ken (of the same site) is spot on: http://www.popehat.com/2014/10/26/ten-short-rants-about-gamergate/.
I would caution against using people or organizations implicated in the scandal. It seems to me like cultivating an echo chamber as opposed to facilitating debate. Also, on a personal note, I would urge you to remember that the idea that "the personal is political" is not the opinion of most members of GamerGate. Indeed, many in the movement reject that idea all together as an outside notion, imported from feminism (see Sargon of Akkad for examples of this).

Public School made a pretty big splash when they landed last year, but they've only been refining their look in the time since then.
There aren't too many surprises in the latest collection—the big one is the introduction of a Thriller-esque red to their usually monochromatic palette—but they're still the go-to label for anyone that wants a grittier take on modern style. There's lots of leather jackets, a few chains, and a general no-nonsense attitude. For all the labels trying to make their models look good, Public School is still the only one that makes them look tough.

The eCommerce bug is spreading across the East Village at an alarming rate. The latest culprit is Cry Wolf, who launched a site this month to bring brands like Harmon, Cronicles of Never, and Public School to whoever is wise enough to log on.
To our eye, it's only a matter of time before someone draws together all the boutiques Alibris-style and makes hard-to-find labels a thing of the past. But until that time, this'll do pretty nicely.
We don't do much show-going at Kempt, but we couldn't resist a post or two on the upcoming Capsule show. The semi-annual hootenanny is one of the best places to spot up-and-comers, and one of our favorite stops every year. This year's crop includes Endovanera, Public School, Clae and Loden Dager, along with a handful of others we don't even know about yet.
The show is happening 10-7pm this Monday and Tuesday in Angel Oresanz with over 60 labels attached. If you're in the neighborhood, you just might see us there.
If not, we're sure you'll hear about it.

*In our never-ending thirst for knowledge, we sat down for a few words of wisdom with Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne, veterans of urban education and creators of Public School, the rugged, multi-purpose streetwear label that hits stores mid month.*
Kempt: What is the inspiration behind Public School?
Chow: New York City—of course—and anyone who's ever survived public school. Our man is someone who's well-traveled and appreciates details.
Kempt: So than who is your ideal model for Public School?
Osborne: We are our best models.
Kempt: How modest. What parts of New York inspired this line—and don't say your apartment?
Chow: I don't think it's any one place. It's more of the idea of New York, all the five boroughs. Moving around the city and just collecting that energy everywhere you go.
Kempt: What are your favorite haunts in the five boroughs?
Chow: Max probably goes out more than me—but Bar Pitti and Freeman's for sure.
Osborne: Naw, naw—I don't go out that much. I just go with the wind. Someone tells me something's going on, I'm gonna go.

Frieda Mintz is a seventeen-year-old Jewish bundle wrapper at Jordan Marsh in Boston; she struck out on her own in the wake of her mother's determination to marry her off to a wealthy man twice her age. Then she spends one impuslive night with "a mensch, a U.S. Army private, ready to brave the trenches Over There." Unfortunately, Felix Morse leaves Frieda not just with vivid memories but with an unspeakable disease. Soon after, she is tracked down and sent to a makeshift detention center, where she suffers invasive physical exams, the discipline of an overbearing matron, and a painful erosion of self-worth. She's buoyed, though, by the strong women around her -- her fellow patients and a sympathetic social worker -- who, in depending on one another, seek to forge a new independence.
In smart, unusually determined Frieda Mintz, Michale Lowenthal has deftly created a most winning heroine through which to tell this troubling tale. Charity Girl lays bare an ugly part of our past when the government exercised a questionable level of authority at the expense of some of its most vulnerable citizens; it also casts long shadows, exploring timely questions of desire, identity, and the balance between the public good and individual freedom.
MICHAEL LOWENTHAL is the author of the acclaimed novels Charity Girl, Avoidance, and The Same Embrace. He has written for the New York Times Magazine, the New York Times Book Review, the Washington Post Book World, the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and many other publications. He teaches writing at Boston College and Lesely University. Charity Girl was inspired by a line in Susan Sontag's AIDS and Its Metaphors, in which she likens the incarceration of American women during World War I to the internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II. Lowenthal says, "The latter historical episode I had, of course, heard about, but not the first . . . I immediately had two thoughts: (1) how awful, and (2) what a great basis for a novel."

Agency leaders disclose their initial plans for the new Federal Acquisition Service
Doan campaigns against SEWP
Jim Williams: Rebuilding GSA by focusing on customers
The General Services Administration has talked about its reorganization for months, but now it's official. President Bush signed the necessary legislation Oct. 6. But experts say GSA still faces deeper challenges than its internal restructuring.
"The ordinary GSA customer in an agency office doesn't know or care how GSA arranges the chairs around the management table," said John Okay, a partner at Topside Consulting Group. Customers want quality service without hassles or delays, and GSA has to show it can deliver that, he said.
The GSA Modernization Act creates the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) by blending the duties of the Federal Technology Service (FTS) and the Federal Supply Service (FSS). It also forms the Acquisition Services Fund to replace the Information Technology Fund and the General Supply Fund.
GSA Administrator Lurita Doan signed an order to coincide with the bill's passage. The order essentially implements GSA's reorganization plan with several new provisions. Notably, the new order abolishes the six FAS zones that had been part of the earlier plan. FAS will operate through GSA's existing 11 regional offices. FAS Commissioner Jim Williams said last week that the agency wants to take more time to determine the proper long-term approach.
Other changes in the new order include the establishment of an Office of Assisted Acquisition Services, which combines the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center and the Regional IT Solutions and Professional Services organizations into a single entity. The order also establishes an Office of Strategic Business Planning and Process Improvement to oversee long-term planning for FAS.
GSA has long been considered the premier government acquisition agency, responsible for helping other agencies procure products and services through a variety of contracts. Through FSS and FTS, each year GSA buys products and services worth more than $30 billion from the private sector. The legislation gives GSA "a much-needed reorganization and streamlining," according to a House committee report on the bill.
Procurement experts say they are watching closely as the reorganization's executors, Doan and Williams, tackle the challenge of restructuring in the midst of a recent slump in business.
The impetus for creating FAS was the realization that many acquisitions can no longer be neatly divided into IT acquisitions and other purchases.
Under the old structure, the IT Fund was intended to be used for IT purchases only, and some GSA local offices ran afoul of the rules by using the fund for other types of acquisitions.
GSA had been operating in a kind of limbo for the past several years, launching a campaign called "Get It Right" in 2004 to address the problem of employees overlooking procurement rules. Employee morale and service quality should begin to rise again now that the legislation has passed, Okay said.
"The reorganization dragged on much too long and consumed scarce time and energy on internal GSA issues while customers continued to walk away," he said.
To make life go well for a restructured GSA, FAS has to be flexible to meet customers where they are at this moment, said Larry Allen, executive vice president of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
"For some, that means offering schedules and direct contractor-to-customer [governmentwide acquisition contract] business, without GSA being in the middle," he said.
Some customers simply are not prepared to hand GSA their project management business, but they still will want to buy from its schedules or GWACs. Allowing that "enables GSA to maintain a customer relationship now and a solid footing to pursue project management business later," Allen said.
In merging the Federal Supply Service and the Federal Technology Service into the Federal Acquisition Service, GSA tossed out two brand names that had value to the agency's federal customers, said Bob Woods, a former FTS commissioner and now president of Topside Consulting Group. The agency will have to build a brand identity for FAS with customers who are wary of GSA, he said.
Jim Williams, FAS commissioner, said he agreed that FTS and FSS are well-respected brand names. But at a press briefing last week, he said GSA has an opportunity and an obligation to establish a new service. FTS and FSS have been brand names not only for customers but also for GSA employees, he said, adding that both groups will need to adjust to the new structure.
John Okay, a partner at Topside Consulting, said GSA should harmonize all of FAS' contracts and services early by blending FTS and FSS offerings and market a single message about their importance. FTS and FSS employees will be brought under the FAS banner, he added. "They should start acting as one face to the customer."
