Ouch Paul, very ouch. One of the worst crossover broken ankles I've seen in a very long time. Jameer Nelson made a little head fake on Paul last night and Pierce bit hard, really hard. He fell strait backwards and his right leg bent behind him and got trapped under his body. Pierce would stay in the game and end up dropping 23 points (Jameer had 20.) The Celtics also ended up beating the Magic 116-110 which probably made him feel a little better about himself at the end of the night. Video is below.

Are we likely to see any advances on this version?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
I've successfully flashed the current version of this ROM and it's great. A way faster than the original one.
Just one question: Is there any specific configuration to get the stylus working? Mine does not work, but it could also be possible that the stylus battery is simply down.
In general: Would the stylus work anywhere or just in a Note-Application?
Hey there,
sorry for the (really really) late reply. A lot of things changed in my life and this project somehow was covered under a huge stack of other things i needed to do. I don't think that i will resume it, cause lack of time but I'm happy to see that there are still people which are using the good old lenovo. Since my linkes went down together with ubuntu one i will link the OP to rickinoz post like he suggested himself (thanks for keeping the files uploaded).

looks like a great start! i recommend spending time coloring simple objects like spheres, cubes, etc. w/ your pencils to get a feel of how to depict life.
also, a little tidbit-you can use turpentine to blend colored pencils if they are wax based...careful, make sure the room is well ventilated...it can make you literally go crazy. 97% isopropyl alchohol also can do blending to a degree, not as good as turpentine though.

Ontario throws millions behind 13 smart grid projects, including Enbala Power's "process storage" initiative
It's taken longer than expected, but the McGuinty government has finally given a much-needed financial boost to some important smart grid initiatives in the province.
The money is coming from a new Smart Grid Fund announced in the 2009 budget, which allocated $50 million to support the demonstration of new technologies that make the power grid more intelligent, efficient and robust.
The fund wasn't formally launched until spring 2011, and at the time there was an expectation that money would start flowing by August of that year.
That date came and went. It was only this week that the first 13 projects were announced under the umbrella of the fund, representing half of the originally committed $50 million. Whether the full amount will be awarded remains an open question, but at least the ball is finally rolling.
In all, about 740 jobs are expected to be created from the 13 projects, which touch on a range of technology areas including in-building energy management, grid automation, energy data analytics, and virtual power delivery.
Toronto's Ecobee, for example, will be installing its intelligent in-office displays in 300 buildings to show how its web-based energy management system can help businesses reduce energy use and costs.
Energate of Ottawa is getting $2.9 million to demonstrate how its own in-home displays can interact with smart meters to help grid operators run the system more efficiently.
Some big industry names, such as Siemens, IBM and GE, are also dipping into the fund. GE is getting $7.9 million that will go toward its new $40-million Grid IQ research collaboration centre in Markham. The company will collect and analyze Ontario's smart meter data – really, massive amounts of information—to figure out ways to boost energy conservation and shift more electricity use to off-peak times.
That initiative alone is expected to create 370 jobs.
One of the more interesting projects is being led by Toronto-based Enbala Power Networks, which is receiving $1.8 million to demonstrate the potential of what it calls "process storage."
The idea is that there are "loads" on the system – major pieces of equipment like pumps, compressors, fans, etc. – that don't necessarily have to operate under a rigid schedule or always at full power.
Enbala's secret sauce is software that can tap into and control these loads. Simple enough, right?
In many ways, it's kind of like the demand-response services that kick into effect when the grid is stressed. For example, on two hours of notice companies such as EnerNOC can reduce large blocks of energy consumptions for several hours on those occasional days in the summer when power use is unusually high and straining the system.
The difference with Enbala – and it's a major distinction – is that it acts faster and is working all the time, not just on hot summer days. It can control power demands on the grid on a minute-by-minute basis, making it unique in its ability to provide what's called a "regulatory" service.
Regulation is the ability to constantly keep supply and demand on the grid in balance. Demand is constantly changing. Supply, with the addition of wind power, is also increasingly a moving target.
Currently, many of Ontario's hydroelectric facilities and natural gas plants are used to achieve that sensitive balance. When demand suddenly drops (or the wind picks up in some regions) grid operators can rapidly turn down hydro or gas supply. When demand suddenly increases (or the wind dies down), supply can quickly be ramped up.
Enbala flips this model on its head. Instead of regulating the grid by controlling supply, it focuses on controlling the equipment that creates the demand. By being able to control hundreds – even thousands – of loads across the network, it brings a potentially low-cost to way to keep the system in balance.
That's what the smart grid is all about, and it becomes more important as the portion of wind energy on the electricity system grows.
"That flexibility of large loads is what we're essentially capturing," said Ron Dizy, chief executive of Enbala. "There's a bunch of flexibility in the minute timescale on our grid right now that's being wasted."
Dizy figured there is between 500 and 1,000 megawatts of potential process storage to tap into, which in a way represent a virtual power plant for the province.
The funding for Enbala's project will go toward connecting 90 different commercial and industrial loads to its network. "We don't have them all signed up yet, but we just started and already have about 10," Dizy said. "The 90 goal is what we hope to get by the end of the project, and I think we'll easily get that."
Water and wastewater treatment plants, which operate huge pumps, are ideal candidates. So are universities, hospitals, cold-storage facilities and district cooling operations, such as Enwave.
"The supply side, that's largely a done deal in this province," added Dizy. "But on the demand side, there's this huge opportunity. It's a great story to tell, and we're beating the world with a lot of this stuff."

Why did you choose this product?
Its an awesome pattern for the gift I am giving a 15 year old and I am sure he will be thrilled. the price is great and the reviews really sold it
very satisfied with overstock. have never been disappointed.
I have the same question as the person before me asking about there being only one pillow case for a full-size bedding set. Did the CS Rep actually check to make sure it is not a typo or the description simply carried over from the twin set page? I find the response to the first query about this issue rather underwhelming. If it is not a mistype, is it possible to check with the manufacturer about how or where we can access a second pillowcase? T
Thank you for contacting us phoenix51. This is for a 8 piece full set not 6 piece the description that is on our site it's wrong. The 8 piece comes with 2 shams for the comforter set and 2 pillowcases for the sheet set. We apologize for the inconvenience we might have caused. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
don't understand the sheet set that comes with this full set with 1 pillow case?

Artist Spotlight: Tech N9ne
by Mosi Reeves | August 17, 2013
It's hard to make a Tech N9ne playlist unless you're a committed Technician. It's not that the Kansas City rapper hasn't made some great songs during his decade-plus career, but that he spent so much of that time on mainstream rap's margins as he built an audience among fans of rapcore and horrorcore acts, like Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid and Brotha Lynch Hung. It wasn't until 2011's All 6s and 7s that he dropped his first widely recognized underground classic, "Worldwide Choppers," the third chapter of his ongoing "Choppers" posse cut series. (Unfortunately, his two best-sellers, Anghellic and Absolute Power, aren't available here.)
Though far from complete, this sampling of Tech N9ne's work has plenty of bangers, from his widely acclaimed verse on Lil Wayne's "Interlude" to his "If I Could" collaboration with Chino Moreno of the Deftones. In between are super-early cuts like 1998's "Questions" and 1999's "The Worst," a scorching duet with E-40 on "Jellysickle," and a few new cuts from his latest album, Something Else, including "B.I.T.C.H." and "So Dope (They Wanna)."

Salesforce.com debuts upgrade to CRM service

Salesforce adds connector apps to ApexNovember 27, 2006
Salesforce plans on-demand language, serviceOctober 8, 2006
Salesforce.com launches updated AppExchangeMay 23, 2006
Winter '07, the upgraded version of Salesforce's core on-demand CRM service, includes a developer preview release of its Apex code. The code is meant to ease the ability to write applications and components for use on Apex.
Apex, a Java-like programming language and server infrastructure, is designed to allow customers to build their own free-standing programs or extensions to Salesforce's services.
"All components and applications created with Apex code and the Apex on-demand platform will be able to be shared via Salesforce's AppExchange directory, enabling all the innovation that Apex unleashes to benefit the entire on-demand community," Marc Benioff, Salesforce's chief executive, said in a statement.
AppExchange, launched early last year, aims to serve as a marketplace for hosted business software applications. AppExchange now hosts 500 on-demand applications, and more than 7,500 customers have installed over 20,000 applications, according to Salesforce.
The company said its customers should expect a beta for its Apex code later this year.
Also on Tuesday, the Salesforce Foundation announced a goal to make the company carbon-neutral in 2007, under its "Earthforce" initiative. As the popularity of its on-demand applications service grows, the company is looking to offset the effect of any greenhouse gas emissions that may come as a result.
With the aid of Clean Air-Cool Planet, NativeEnergy and Conservation International, the foundation aims to neutralize the effect of the company's corporate greenhouse gas emissions from its offices, data centers and corporate travel.
Last year, Salesforce's estimated carbon emissions reached nearly 19,700 tons, leading to its allocation of nearly $126,000 to support five renewable-energy projects. The efforts included financing the construction and maintenance of wind farms in South Dakota and Alaska, as well as a family dairy farm methane energy project.

Ok... But not fabulous...So this anime uses a magical girl basis with some science, kind of... But unlike other shows, Vividred Operation feels plain. The characters are typical and their fights always end successfully. I can't feel very much action and suspense from this anime... All in all, it's "acceptable".
cliche isn't always a bad thingsure, it's got lots of fanservice and kind of a cliche story, but that doesn't make it a bad show. it had well written main characters, clean animation and talented voice acting, and in the end, isn't that what makes a show enjoyable? and heck, even cliche stories can be good, too.Read more

The plot here is useless, full of WTF moments that make you simply shake your head and eventually the laughing just won't stop. The fan service is not even high ...
Nothing particularly specialThis anime was nothing particularly special. The end was fairly obvious by the third episode. However, it is well made, and parts of it are cute. I watched it mostly to have a shared show with one of my kids.
Guilty fun for all the wrong reasonsWatching this show is like watching a play written and produced by a bunch of talented 10 year olds. The concept is decent, and it tries so hard to be what it wants to be that you find yourself laughing at all the wrong spots. Part of the problem is the length. This was clearly designed as a 12 part series with no hope of extension, but there's actually a lot of "story" they have to get through ...Read more

From mad or genius mind of (bloomers) the man who directed (chacha) Strike Witches, Kazuhiro Takamura, comes Vividred Operation.

Overall it was a great anime with cool character but they could've expanded on the story, I really wish there were more episodes.

Tries to stand out with seeming all scientific,but really just goes on being extremely cliche and nothing stands out
Also the anime has fan serverice which is retarded as who wants to watch little girls in bloomers?
Im not a pedophile and I hope your not either
Your better off watching sentai

All-CityNew this Cross Season is the Macho Man Disc. Perfect for bum trails, short cuts, long cuts, wet weather and general on-road/off-road radness. At least thats how Jeff at All-City puts it.
Macho Man Disc
The Macho Man Disc builds on the already great Macho Man and adds Hayes CX discs, internal Cable routing and a killer orange and white pant job. Completing the spec is Shimano 105 shifters and gears with a Salsa Pro Moto stem, Cow Bell Handlebars and Kenda Small Block Eight 700 x 35mm tyres providing quality contact point between the rider and the trail.
The SCX (Singlespeed CX) Nature Boy gets a fantastic Purple Metallic paint job and the same updated bars, stem and tyres as the Macho Man Disc.

ApiduraApidura produces ultra-light packing systems to enhance the Bikepacking experience and enable cyclists to travel farther, faster and more comfortably. Ultra-light, durable, and extremely functional, Apidura products are about unencumbered bicycle touring so that cyclists can spend more time enjoying the ride.
Built from a passion for adventure, cycling and the outdoors, Apidura is driving the evolution in ultralight cycling and opening a new world of riding possibilities for passionate cyclists.
Apidura is at the forefront of the Bikepacking movement, one that aims to reduce the weight of your touring kit, and to challenge you to carry less and travel faster and further. Prior to its collaboration with Ison Distribution, Apidura initially traded online to both dealers and consumers. For 2015, Apidura has decided to expand its reach and dealer exposure in the UK market by partnering with an established UK distributor with deep knowledge of the bikepacking sector and large dealership in the country.
Key products to look out for in 2015 will be:
Saddle Packs Designed to make full use of the space under the saddle, eliminating the need for a rear rack. With 3 different sizes available, the Saddle Packs offer a carrying capacity of 11 to 17 litres.
Frame Packs Available for both mountain and road bikes, Frame Packs provide a larger and more balanced load on multi-day adventures, when tackling steep climbs and technical trails and for every day riding and commuting.
Top Tube Packs Designed to add easy-access storage space for frequently used items (tools, cameras, snacks and so on).
Handlebar Packs - Designed to make use of the space below the handlebars, eliminating the need for a front rack. With 2 different sizes available, the Handlebar Packs offer a carrying capacity of 9 to 20 litres.
Patrick Joscelyne, who is Isons Brand Manager for Apidura, says This is great news for Ison Distribution as we distribute an excellent range of complimentary Bikepacking products. From the initial conversation with Apidura we could see that there was an obvious fit and overlap with our existing line up of bikes from the likes of Surly, Sarma and Light Blue along with touring kit from Rohloff, SP Dyno and Cinq5. I am very pleased about this partnership and am looking forward to showing the products at Core (and London Bike Show) and putting them through their paces on our bikes and in our shops in 2015.
Partnering with Ison Distribution in the UK is an important step for Apidura says Tori Fahey, CEO of Apidura. It will allow us to increase our reach in the UK market and provide our dealers with a best-in-class distribution channel. We are very proud to be partnering with Ison, which is the leading bikepacking distributor in the UK.
Dealers can get a first look at the Apidura range in January at the Core Bike Show in Isons Hungaroring room.

GlowormGloworm has been illuminating the cycling landscape for about 4 years now with three model options and a fourth on the way. The design ethos of the company down under is to provide riders with high quality, high lumen and low weight lighting at a competitive price. It was once said that when referring to a cycling product you can pick two of the following three traits: lightweight, strong, well-priced you cant have all three until now.
The flagship of the range fits into the palm of your hand and emits a scorching 2200 lumens (as measured by www.mtbr.com) while the smallest light in the Gloworm stable weighs in at only 6.3oz. The range of products are all machined from high quality aluminium alloy and protected with hard anodizing. To make the specification even more impressive, all lights can be submerged for short periods thus ensuring their suitability to the harsh UK environment.
Co-Founders Vaggelis and Bruce are excited about the partnership and will be on hand at Core Bike 2015 to personally promote the product and demonstrate the type of experience that can be had with a Gloworm.
Matt Andrews, Marketing Manager, of ISON said he is looking forward to the New Year where they can begin representing such an exciting product.
Gloworm represents innovation and customer engagement. They are a professional company that are really beginning to make waves in the industry. It will be a pleasure to add Gloworm to our portfolio and partner with such a driven group of people.
Gloworm will be available through ISON Distribution from 1 January 2015. ISON will be the exclusive distributor for Gloworm products for UK, Ireland and Germany (www.ison-distribution.info) European countries not yet represented may also make enquiries through ISON.

HT PedalsHT Components, manufactures of high end pedals are pleased to announce that they have teamed up with longstanding UK distributor, Ison Distribution from January the 13th 2015, to serve to UK market with their quality products.
With over 22 years in the game, Ison saw a gap in the UK market for a high end pedal range, from flat pedals through to clipless Pedals.
HT Components started in 2005 with a long history dating back to 1954 of manufacturing bicycle components. Now in 2015, HT Components is at the forefront of pedal technology, with some of the worlds best riders on board.
The HT Components X1 pedal is one of the newest pedals in the range, and offers what the market has been craving for. A reliable, serviceable, clipless pedal aimed at Downhill riders, with a strong engagement and a large but light platform with pins for extra grip. Pinkbike praise the X1 pedal and say the pedal feels extremely secure and weighing in at only 470g (415g with a Titanium axle) its certainly not neglecting the weight conscious. With design input from multiple World Champion Aaron Gwin, the X1 is a pedal built to win.
Also new in the HT range are some of the thinnest flat pedals on the market, yet are still fully sealed. The aluminium bodied AE03 and Magnesium bodied counterpart ME03 pedals boast an 11mm thick platform, to aid the pedal from not rolling under foot and keeping the pedal away from rock strikes.
HT Components Hector Martinez and Jake Scott from the USA will be joining Ison at Corebike 2015 to offer on hand advice and expertise alongside Isons UK brand manager Jordan Lunn.
Isons UK Brand manager Jordan Lunn said he is exited to bring such a strong and exiting brand to the UK market. HT Components is a brand that I have been impressed by over the last number of years, and their new pedals continue that trend. With some of the most innovative technology, and best riders to boot, HT Components is a name to stay
I.D.I.D. parts continue to be the solvers of many a bikeshops' headaches.
If you find yourself thinking where can I get that "thingamajig" bolt etc...then we may well have it!
Spacers, bolts, bearings, shims, adaptors, etc, etc...and some lovely chain ring bolts in a rainbow of colours - dress up your cranks!
NB: Due to the limitations of space and time, products from this particular range will not physically be on show on the Core 2015 event, further details are available in our literature and can be found on our B2B website.
IdentitiIdentiti bikes are renowned for providing top level high performance hardtail frames in the aggressive Mountain bike sectors. The Identiti Krisis frames will have probably attained more UK podium 4X results than any other brand.
In 2012 Identiti rolled their established expertise over into BMX racing and immediately attained a WC #1 plate with Joey Gough. In just 2 seasons - Identiti became the recognised leader in UK BMX racing, and attained World class status.
Light Blue2015 will see Light Blue launch a range of contemporary steel framed sports bikes to add to their Kings and Trinity retro bikes and city bikes.
The Light Blue were first produced in 1895 by John Albert Townsend in Cambridge and is an exclusive brand with over 100 years of heritage that deserves consideration in the finest IBDs.
John Alberts handmade bikes were popular with the Town & Gown of what is now often referred to as Cycle City. The Light Blue bicycle brand name came from the historic sporting colours used by the World famous Cambridge University. The rivalry between The Light Blue colours of Cambridge and the Dark Blue colours of Oxford are perhaps most famously seen in the annual Boat Race on the river Thames. In 2005, 110 years after they first appeared, The Light Blue Bikes were re-born again, designed in Cambridge by the great grandson of the founder and with the type of attention to detail that four generations of living and breathing bicycles brings.
Designed with an ethos that puts customer satisfaction at the top of the page, the Light Blue bicycles retain traditional style, whilst utilising modern materials and production techniques. With all of our bikes, the Devil is in the detail.
Light Blue currently offer well specified city bikes (urban) and also finely detailed sports machines.
Their urban bikes continue to sell well and nutted axles, lightweight alloy frames, double wall eyeleted rims, alloy bars, adjustable height quill stems, Dog Leg rear carrier, laminated chrome-plastic mudguards with twin stainless stays, stainless steel spokes, gel saddle with kevlar anti-scuff patches, brake levers with rubber inserts, ergonomic grips, alloy non-slip pedals and anti-puncture tyres are some of features that are standard features on a Light Blue City bike.
This year sees the three new Reynolds tubed bikes added to their Sport range giving Light Blue a full lineup steel machines for the sportive, leisure and touring market. The Wolfson is a fast sportive bike based on a tig welded 853 frameset. The Robinson is built from 725 tubing for light touring, while the Darwin (also 725) is designed for heavier touring, with mountain, road and Rohloff options. Both the Robinson and Darwin feature disc brakes and interchangeable rear ends to allow a variety of build possibilities.
Also new for 2015 is the St Johns, a club/touring bike, which will join the popular Kings and Trinity (fixed) frames/bikes in the Retro range. The St Johns is fashioned from 725 tubing, features centre pull brakes, mudguard clearance and eyes.
Light Blue are now looking for serious, professional cycle retailers to become exclusive dealers for this interesting exciting brand of quality bicycles.
MRPMRP, the number one in chain guides, are now firmly establishing themselves in suspension with the new Stage and Loop forks.
The Stage fork recently got 4 out of 5 Stars and a Most Wanted Award from MBUK.
Come and speak to MRP at Corebike to see all the latest chain guides, forks and shocks available exclusively through Ison.
Mucky NutzMucky Nutz produce the original and Patent Pending fork mounted mudguard.

ODIThe USA's number one grip manufacturer continues to dominate the grip scene whether it be MTB, BMX or Urban and there will be some very exciting new products for road released in 2015.
The innovative Lock-On grip technology option has taken the DH World by storm, and virtually nothing but ODI can be seen at many races. We all know there are half baked attempts to copy the Lock-On coming in, but riders know the difference and they can afford to buy the real thing... it's as simple as that.
ODI sells, day in and day out...
The brand new AG-1 Lock-On grips will be on show at Core. Aaron Gwin has put his signature on them and had a big part to play in their design and they have turned out amazing! New Lock-On technology and grip pattern plus many more unique features make them the DH grip to go to.
As well as being the originators of the lock-on system ODI have a great range of regular grips and the Longneck ST is THE best-selling BMX grip available. Despite having been around since "Back in the Day" Longneck ST's are still the #1 choice for many riders - now available in even more colours!

Saddles, Pedals, Multi tools, Grips, Pumps, Grips and more much more to come...
PowergripsOne of those older products, that actually is still a damn good idea.
In fact there has been a huge resurgence due to the fashionable fixed gear market recognising Powergrips are still the best choice.
Perfect for those who would like the power advantages of toeclips but don't want to be 'caught' in them, or have to buy expensive 'clipless' pedals and special cycling shoes to clip-in with.
A Fixed Gear specific version is now available with a new fixing kit.
These exclusive straps offer toe-clip function with easy release and no special shoes or cleats required. (Great for commuters...).
Last, several serious competition riders use Powergrips in the winter, and they don't freeze or clog-up with snow & ice.
If you understand the reason that they are still being produced, so will your customers, and you'll sell them.
New Fat Straps available in bright colours!

The new Carbon Fatbars have continued the Renthal tradition of "must-have" quality parts.
The unique Apex all-mountain stems were released late 2014 and have quickly become firm favourites amongst Enduro, Trail, XC and DH riders.
Carbon Fatbar Lites continued this trend and have become THE bar for Trail/XC/Enduro riders.
2015 - just you wait and see what Renthal are going to bring to the table! There may well be some very exciting new products to be seen at Core Bike!

SarmaFor 2015 Ison Distribution Ltd are pleased to announce the addition of Sarma Bikes to their expanding portfolio. Sarma, founded in Irkutsk City, Russia are a specialist Fatbike frame and rim manufacturer and join Isons growing range of specialist Fatbike products.
Sarma are based in Siberia giving them a distinct advantage when it comes to developing products for the winter and snow riding. Dmitry Shindyakin, CEO of Sarma, was an early Fatbike convert and being located in Irtusk where there was a large Russian carbon fibre aviation industry, he naturally started working with local engineers to produce one of the lightest and best looking carbon Fatbike frames, the Shaman.
Sarma were also amongst the first manufacturers to produce carbon Fatbike rims; initially with their Naran 80mm rim for 4 tyres, followed by a 100mm version for 5 tyres. They were also the first to make carbon 29+ rims which not only convert your Fatbike into a summer speed machine but support a growing 29+ specialist and custom frame market.
Weighing in at 1250g in Medium the Shaman frame goes straight to the top of the class in terms of competition Fatbike frames. Featuring a Tapered headtube, 170mm rear thru axle dropouts and internal cable routing, the Shaman may be bought with or without Sarmas own carbon Hoboy fork. If you choose the Hoboy fork you should easily be able to build up a sub 26lb Fatbike and if you opt for Srams XX1 Fat groupset and Sarmas own Naran rims that should drop to nearer 23lbs.
Isons Patrick Joscelyne, who will be the Brand Manager for Sarma, says Ison have long been known for selling Fatbikes and Fatbike kit well before the current surge in popularity and we have been looking for a high end product to complement our existing offering from Surly, Schwalbe and Halo. Sarma fills this gap perfectly for Ison producing fantastically light and good looking products which will appeal to our more race orientated or lightweight Fatbike customers.
Dealers can get a first look at Shaman XX1 and X9 builds in January at the Core Bike Show in Isons Hungaroring room.
Prepare to be amazed.

All smart and solid but easy to swap out when you want.

TSGThe Market Leader in helmets & protection. TSG have continued to listen to their Pro Riders to produce the best possible protective gear for riding. From the basic Skate/Bmx to the award winning pro series Evolution series, (including the World's Lightest Piss-Pot the Superlight) and the revolutionary new Kraken, TSG have the Piss-Pot helmet market sussed.
2015 sees many new models and designs including the Trailfox helmet which has been designed from the ground up to be a fantastic fitting and looking trail helmet that offers excellent safety.
The new range of Full Face helmets has been received extremely well by the cycling media and there are models to suit all pockets. The new Carbon Advance firmly establishes TSG as a credible player in the high-end full face helmet market. Fantastic shape, comfort, looks and performance all backed up with safety certification.
For 2015 TSG have again pushed the boundaries and have worked with some of the world's best graphic artists around to create a truly stunning collection of helmets - there is a design to suit everyone!
As well as market-leading helmets TSG have produced a stunning range of protective pads. Every pad has been designed with safety at the forefront as well as comfort, fit and looks.
All of TSG's 2015 high-end pads now utilise the industry leading D3O padding making them even better performing. All TSG pads come with the highest safety certification (as do their helmets). The enduro-specific Boulder knee/shin and Elbow pads have to be seen.
There are many more fantastic pads and gloves available so come along and be given a guided tour of the range.
TSG have also produced a nice range of trail clothing (jerseys, pants, gloves, jackets and shorts) which is definately worth checking out.

Several other new developments are due in early 2015 so keep you eye on Vincero Design.
Come and have a play at Core you'll be amazed.

Cost: about $15 per person, with a cocktail
The cuisine: When we go to a bar before 6 p.m., we usually don't expect too much from the kitchen. But by keeping the menu simple and small, Junior's delivers a surprisingly satisfying brunch. Though there are only three items on the menu, the build-your-own omelet ($8) and build-your-own breakfast sandwich ($8) options allow a degree of choice. (There's also a $7 all-American breakfast: eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage, and toast.) We went right for the build-your-own breakfast sandwiches, two scrambled eggs on a choice of bread (white or wheat toast, English muffin, or Texas toast) with a choice of cheese (cheddar, Chihuahua, Swiss or American) and meat (ham, bacon or turkey). Our bacon-and-Chihuahua sandwich on thick, lightly browned Texas toast was deliciously simple--and so huge we couldn't finish it.
Better than a bloody mary: We downed an orange mojito ($9), made with Bacardi O and a few orange slices, in record time--the bright citrus flavors were the perfect match for the drink's traditional muddled mint leaves. Plus, the fruity cocktail was a touch sweeter than a typical mojito, which helped it go down easy in the a.m. hours.
The wait: None.
Loved it: Hash browns! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and not too greasy--just right.
Hated it: Savory breakfast items definitely delivered, but there wasn't one sweet alternative. We hear an expanded brunch menu is coming with football season.

The EG FECIT inscription tells us that someone with the initials "EG" made these coins. The EG of that inscription was Elisha Gallaudet, who engraved plates for the February 17, 1776, Continental paper money that used the same design. He also engraved certain other contemporary paper issues including the New York Water Works notes, as well as book plates, and an important engraving of the Reverend George Whitfield, the English-born 18th century evangelist.
Newman 3-D, W-8460, EG FECIT
Newman 3-D, W-8460, EG FECIT
Gallaudet was born at New Rochelle, New York, the son of the Huguenot settler Pierre Gallaudet. He was the fifth of nine children. After an apprenticeship, Gallaudet worked as a New York City engraver from about 1756 until his death. The younger Gallaudet was married to Jeanne Dubois in 1755, and they had eight children. After her death, he remarried Naomi Reade in 1770, and they were the parents of Elisha, Jr. The family fled New York the same year that the Continental dollars were minted, settling in Freehold, New Jersey, where he died in 1779.
This impressive specimen features a semicircular die crack on the reverse that connects nearly all of the rings. The surfaces are remarkable with two shades of gray, retaining noticeable luster. There are only a few trivial surface marks that are expected on any 235-year-old coin. Eye appeal is excellent. Listed on page 81 of the 2012 Guide Book.

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 4/5/13
AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar The Rangers dropped a tough one to the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight, 2-1 in a shootout. The play of Marc-Andre Fleury was the only reason this game wasn't a repeat of Wednesday night. A truly sensational performance. While the loss stings, securing 3 out of a possible 4 points in a home and home with the Pens is more than we could have hoped at the beginning of the week. On to the goals… Penguins 1, Rangers 0 The Pens started to get their forecheck/cycling going to begin the third period. Chris Kunitz made a nice play with the puck behind the net, and found an unguarded Jussi Jokinen in the slot. He blasted a laser over Hank's glove, and Pitt had the first goal of the game. Penguins 1, Rangers 1 This goal was perfect execution of a set play off the faceoff. Set up in the offensive zone, Rick Nash positioned himself in the shooting lane in the high slot. The face-off came right to him, and he slid a hard wrister between the legs of Fleury. Shootou...

Pontiac Grand Am Rough Running Engine Due to Vacuum Leak

My car stalls at cold temps. and the check engine code is on for evap system - Visitor
I have a 2000 Olds Alero 2-door Coupe, with only 86,000 miles on it now. The first time my engine stalled was about 5 months ago as I was turning from one country road onto another -- the engine just quit half-way through the turn. I rolled to the side of the road, and the engine re-started up right away. It was a very hot day, so I blamed the weather. The second time was about 2 1/2 months ago, and it was also hot. I had stopped at a stop sign, and it stalled when I started to take off. The third time was 5 weeks ago, and was similar. The 4th and 5th times were 3 days ago, and only 10 minutes apart -- the last was just as I was entering a roundabout (rotary) and as I accelerated, it just stalled and quit (which make the car driver behind me very angry). I took it to Thompson Chevrolet/Buick/GMC (Patterson, CA) where I bought the car used in 2002, with 20,000 miles on it already. It has always been a great little car for me, getting 30 MPG on highway trips. They worked on it for a few hours today, and found that the "engine hose to the MAP sensor had a hole in it". This Oldsmobile apparently had a Pontiac engine in it from the onset. Replacement of the hose, clean out of the area, repairs, and labor only cost me $147. Very happy that they found the cause easily, and that I didn't have an accident somewhere along the way in those 5 months. My "check your engine" light had gone on about 3 times during those 5 months, but it went off within a few days each time, so I ignored that. - Visitor
Check engine light came on. Codes PO105 & PO108. Replaced vacuum hose. - Visitor

Civilian group to honor Ventura County military, youth
The Channel Islands Council of the Navy League will honor 13 members of the military, Navy Junior ROTC and Sea Cadet Corps at a Military and Youth Awards Dinner on Friday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ventura.
The council, a civilian organization, is the local chapter of the national Navy League. It supports local maritime forces and their families.
"The recognition dinner is one way we can help educate the citizens of the variety, complexity and importance of the tasks our military personnel are performing every day," said Bob Quinn, a retired Navy captain and awards dinner committee chairman. "Since we only recognize junior enlisted personnel, I believe it is a most worthwhile effort to say thank you to a small sample of the outstanding young men and women living in our community."
Chosen by their commanding officers to be honored from Naval Base Ventura County are: Air Traffic Controller 3rd Class Brian Loo, San Nicolas Island; Equipment Operator 1st Class Mario Perez, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Ryan Irvine, Underwater Construction Team 2; Construction Mechanic 1st Class Paul Selfors, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4; Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Deon Gorski, Carrier Airborne Command and Control Squadron 113; and Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Freddie Dejesus, 30th Naval Construction Regiment.
Perez said he was honored to be selected Outstanding Junior Enlisted Person of the Year 2012 for the Navy in Ventura County.
"I'd like to thank (my battalion) for recommending me and giving me the opportunity to succeed through their positive mentorship and guidance," Perez said. "There are so many outstanding Seabees and sailors that are well-deserving of this award, and I feel that I'm a representative of the hard work that my troops display on a day-to-day basis."
Gorski said that in these economic times he was happy to be employed.
"It's nice to be recognized, but I don't really feel that I need to be recognized. I'm just happy and thankful that I have a job," Gorski said, adding that he's been in the service for almost 15 years.
Loo said he was "shocked" to have been honored and that he hoped to use the opportunity to attend the dinner to make new friends.
Other military personnel to be honored are Marine Sgt. Randy D. Tapley, Weapons Co. 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines; and Coast Guard Seaman Michael G. Livingstone, Coast Guard Station Channel Islands Harbor.
Youth cadets to be honored are: Lt. Cmdr. Jessica Munoz, Navy Junior ROTC, Hueneme High School; and Thomas Raab, Ben Moreell Battalion, Sea Cadet Corps, NBVC Point Mugu.
Other youths to be honored are: Petty Officer 1st Class Skye Melendez, Training Ship Nicholas H. Anderson, NBVC Port Hueneme; Petty Officer 2nd Class Rachel Phillips, Trident Patrol Squadron 65; and Petty Officer 2nd Class Broderick Shore, Training Ship Minutemen, NBVC Point Mugu.
"The young folks we recognize make one proud of the youth of today especially since what one sees and reads in the press would lead one to believe our youth are a lost cause," Quinn said. "Upon reading the biographies of these people, I wonder where they get the energy to be so involved and dedicated. I truly wonder when or if they sleep."
