Hi Jeff, Welcome.
I have just over 22,000 miles on my '07 990 (and only ride one day a week) and all I can say is WOW! this bike rocks! I have had it in some really bad places, and it never has let me down.
Just yesterday I did 240 miles with about 150 miles in some of the roughest jeep trails in Arizona. Then hopped on the Interstate and ran 80mph. home. Try that on a thumper....
This bike is addicting, I can't get enough of it! I have done several 700+ mile days, I do have a Renazco seat though and a full Super Plush suspension set up. My bike has been from Death Valley at -216 feet to Misquito Pass in Colorado at over 14,000 feet and never once hiccuped!
Get one, ride it, smile all the way.......
It does like rear tires.

Summer is almost here — which means it's officially vacation season. You may be looking forward to "getting away from it all," but, as you know, vacations actually require a fair amount of planning. And it might surprise you to learn that some of the efforts required for successful vacations can impart some valuable lessons in other areas of your life — such as investing.
Here are some vacation-related moves that you may want to transfer to the investment and financial arenas:
• Secure your home. If you're going on vacation for a week or so, you may need to take some steps to safeguard your home: stopping your mail and newspaper, putting on a timer to turn on lights, alerting your neighbors that you'll be out of town, and so on. But while it's important to secure your home today, you will also want to help ensure it will be there for your family in the future, should anything happen to you. That's why you'll want to maintain adequate life and disability insurance.
• Know your route. If you are driving to your vacation destination, you will want to plan your route beforehand so that you can avoid time-consuming delays and detours. And to reach your financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you will also want to chart your course — by creating an investment strategy that is designed to help you work toward those goals, based on your specific risk tolerance, investment preferences and time horizon.
• Keep enough gas in the tank. As you set out on a road trip, you need a full tank of gas in your car, and you'll have to keep refueling along the way. To "go the distance" in pursuing your financial goals, you will need to have sufficient "fuel" in the form of investments with growth potential. If you don't own a reasonable amount of growth-oriented vehicles, you could lose ground to inflation and potentially fall short of your objectives — so, over time, you may need to "refuel" by reviewing and rebalancing your portfolio to ensure it has enough "power."
• Protect yourself from getting burned. If your vacation plans include a stay at the beach, you'll need to protect yourself and your family from the hot sun — so make sure you're all using sunscreen. When you invest, you can also get "burned" if you are not careful — especially if you are inclined to chase after "hot" investments. By the time you hear about these so-called sizzlers, they may already be cooling off, and, even more importantly, they just might not be appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. Instead of becoming a "heat-seeking" investor, focus your efforts on building a diversified array of quality investments appropriate for your needs. If you only own one type of financial asset, and a downturn hits that asset class, your portfolio could take a big hit. But by diversifying your holdings, you can help reduce the effects of volatility. Keep in mind, though, that diversification by itself can't guarantee profits or protect against loss.
As we've seen, some of the same principles that apply to creating a vacation may also be applicable to your investing habits. So put these principles to work to enjoy a pleasant vacation — and a potentially rewarding investment experience.

So let ABC be a right triangle at A such that BC=2AB. Find the angle $[\hat{ACB}]$
How can I find that angle without using cos, sin and other things?
Since I've already figure out how to find it using cos: here's my approach:
We denote $[\hat{ABC}]$ as $\alpha$ so $\cos\alpha=AB/BC=AB/2AB=1/2$
We do cos$^{-1}$ to find the angle ABC then we do 90-ABC to find the angle ACB.
So I'm looking for alternative way.
Thanks so

Low Carb Paleo Menu Updates
From the Author of the upcoming book
As Seen On
|Low Carb Paleo
Lose 15 Pounds or More In The Next Five Weeks Or Less.
Healthy Gourmet Food Prepared by a Restaurant Consistently Voted Best In the Upstate!
Maybe you've struggled with weight problems all your life...and perhaps even health problems also. What if you could just find a program that's easy to understand and proven to melt the pounds away? This is the best way to lose weight...and maintain your weight loss. Finally, end the yo-yo weight cycle of losing weight and gaining it back.
"I will have lost 15 pounds in Five Weeks on the Saskatoon Chef Prepared Meals. My pants fit better and my wife is so proud of me! Thank you, Saskatoon!" Curtis Bolton, Spartanburg, SC.
It's so convenient. All meals are vacuum sealed and ready to heat up.
The Saskatoon Low Carb Paleo Plan is the easiest way to lose weight while eating food served by the restaurant voted "Best of the Upstate". Healthy, gourmet food served to you for LESS than the cost of eating out. You won't find healthy food that tastes this good anywhere else.
Saskatoon Low Carb Paleo Meal Plan For Real Weight Loss Success: Specifically designed to help you lose weight and keep it off!
"I had a stubborn last 4 pounds to lose as well as specific dietary concerns (can't have gluten or diary) so I was very excited to discover Paleo meals! Not only does it meet my dietary needs but it is really, really delicious, seriously! I was so impressed with how good every dish is -- and I am a picky eater. The meat is always cooked, seasoned and marinated to perfection and far better than anything I could ever make and the portion sizes are big. Most of the time I split a dinner with my husband who loves the meals as well. I've enjoyed tried and true veggies with great seasoning as well as some exotic veggies I've never had before. It's so convenient being able to pop a Paleo meal in the microwave and have amazing tasting food that's also healthy after a long day. Beats cooking or my old go-to of fast food or pizza hands down. It tastes way better, fills me up more, costs about the same and is sooo much better for me. Plus I lost the 4 pounds!" - Leslie Coffey, Greenville, SC
"Transitioning to any diet is difficult, especially with a busy schedule that leaves little time to prepare healthy meals. That's why the Paleo plan at Saskatoon is a godsend for me. For 5 days each week, all of my Paleo meals and snacks are taken care of. The food is excellent and Edmund and his wife Renee are very encouraging and supportive as I progress toward my goal. I'm losing weight at a steady clip and more importantly I feel a lot better. What more could you ask for?" - Jack Lunn, Greenville, SC

"If you have not tried the wines of Reverie by now, it's time. Reverie's Bordeaux styled reds exhibit both power and elegance, not an easy achievement."—Robert Parker Jr., of the Wine Advocate
We Won! 2014 Best of Class—NV Barbera - AMERICAN FINE WINE COMPETITION "Dark fruits, rich, delicious, a meal in itself"
February & March - Friday & Saturday Appointments
April - Thursday, Friday & Saturday Appointments
May through November 14 - Monday - Saturday - 6 DAYS A WEEK!
RESERVATIONS TAKEN: 10 am - 4:00 pm
NUMBER OF GUESTS: Reverie will accept requests for reservations up to four people.
TYPE OF TOUR & WINE TASTING: Outdoors, walk-around style, lasting about one hour, AMAZING!
1520 DIAMOND MOUNTAIN ROAD: Unfortunately you should NOT rely completely on a GPS/Navigation system to be correct. Reverie is up in the hills of Diamond Mountain (about 6 miles north of St. Helena or 1 mile south of Calistoga). Off of Hwy 29, TURN ONTO DIAMOND MOUNTAIN ROAD, NOT KORTUM CANYON ROAD!!! Drive about 1 mile up this curvy mountain road to find our address, 1520. You will turn where you see two signs, one for Reverie Winery and one for our neighbor, Von Strasser. Drive through our neighbor's property, following small, hand-painted signs, until you reach Reverie's property.
WHY IS REVERIE OPEN ONLY PART OF THE YEAR? We are a small, estate winery - family owned and operated. We have an amazing "outdoor wine tour" that most people say is the best they have ever had. Since we want to give our guests this amazing tour when the weather is typically sunny and gorgeous, we open 7 days a week during the summer and fall season. We have a limited schedule during the winter and spring. Please see the calendar for availability.
Winter and spring: Our traditional "walk-around" style of tour and tasting will be slightly adjusted according to the weather on any particular day. Since it could be cold and rainy, please bring your umbrella. Your Reverie adventure will last approximately one hour.
Summer and fall: It is typically beautiful and warm every day and the optimal time to visit Reverie. We might have a rare day with a drop or two of rain, so if the weather looks cool or cloudy, you might want to bring a jacket or umbrella. Please keep in mind, rain or shine, our tours are a "walk-around" style of tour and wine tasting – lasting about an hour.

After reading about the Delegate method from the first answer, my question is this, is it possible to delegate two different methods to another single method.
IE: I currently have: @photo.attachment.file.url, and @photo.attachment.height, and @photo.attachment.width
I'd like to be able to access all of these via @photo.file.url, @photo.file.height, @photo.file.width.
The reason for the syntax is Attachment is a model that uses Paperclip to manage files, Paperclip is generating the .file method (the model is called Attachment, the model uses Paperclip's
has_attached_file :file).
I was wondering about aliasing methods and attributes in Ruby (I think this is a general ruby question, although my application is in Rails 3):
I have two models: Photo has_one Attachment.
Attachment has "height" and "width" attributes, and a "file" method (from Paperclip).
So by default I can access bits of the Attachment model like so:
photo.attachment.width # returns width in px
photo.attachment.height # returns height in px
photo.attachment.file # returns file path
photo.attachment.file.url #returns url for the default style variant of the image
photo.attachment.file.url(:style) #returns the url for a given style variant of the image
Now, in my photo class I have created this method:
def file(*args)
So, now I can simply use:
photo.file # returns file path
photo.file.url # returns file url (or variant url if you pass a style symbol)
My question is, I was able to direct
photo.attachment.file to just
photo.file, but can I also map height and width to
photo.file, so that, for the sake of consistency, I could access the height and width attributes through
photo.file.height and
Is such a thing possible, and if so what does it look like?

Raja Bell so far refuses to accept team's buyout. Awkward.
Jul 31, 2012, 9:57 AM EDT
Back on July 8, Raja Bell and the Utah Jazz reached a verbal agreement to a contract buyout. This wasn't a rumor from some random "source," this was something Bell himself confirmed.
But here we are on the final day of July and Bell has yet to sign the actual buyout paperwork, reports the Salt Lake Tribune. Which is pretty unsusual.
Jazz General Manager Kevin O'Connor would not discuss Bell's buyout when recently asked about the situation during Summer League in Orlando, Fla. But a league source confirmed Monday the Jazz have officially offered Bell a buyout. He has refused to accept the deal, though, delaying an already long-delayed process.
Bell was to make $3.4 million next season (we don't know the buyout amount but it is probably very close to that number). After the buyout Bell would be an unrestricted free agent.
But teams are finishing up their rosters for next season, the number of places he can land is shrinking, and a lot of teams that might have interest likely are only offering one year at the veteran minimum.
We'll have to see how this plays out.
- candidohernandez - Jul 31, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Raja needs to just come to Miami. FIU alumni. Come home.
Playing time might be a problem tho.

KeyFest 2015
This year, with deep regret, the Board of Directors of the KeyFest have determined there were not enough funds raised to support the 2015 KeyFest, scheduled for June 19, 20 and 21st. The Board would like to apologize for the cancellation and are already working on plans to make next year's KeyFest more spectacular.
KeyFest will return in 2016
The committee that works together to bring KeyFest to the Key Peninsula and the surrounding area is comprised of Volunteers. We encourage everyone that wants to see KeyFest to continue to please get involved and attend our committee meetings, which meet at 6:30pm the first Monday of each month at the Pierce County Library in Key Center starting in July.
Upcoming scheduled meetings:
Mon June 1st - 6:30pm - Key Center Library
Wed July 1st - 6:30pm - Key Center Library
Wed Aug 5th - 6:30pm - Key Center Library
Wed Sept 2nd - 6:30pm - Key Center Library
Notable Information regarding KeyFest:
- The Key Peninsula Fair Association is all Volunteer. Everyone, from the executive board members to committee members to the workers at KeyFest, all donate their time and energy to make KeyFest an enjoyable, fun filled event for the communities on and around the Key Peninsula.
- KeyFest is intended to be a community event, for everyone on and around the Key Peninsula and it relies on this community to support it. Without this community's support, we will be unable to continue having this event for the community.
- All of the funds that are raised in support of KeyFest through sponsorships, donations, vendor fees, and gate admission fees, are used to pay for the expenses that KeyFest incurs, such as the rental of the grounds, insurance, permits, electricity, water, lighting, stage, entertainment, fencing, toilets, and advertising.
- KeyFest works with the Department of Transportation to work on the best traffic flow for vehicles in and out of the grounds, to ensure the least amount of impact on local traffic during these three days. Additionally, we are required to hire off-duty police officers/sheriffs to control the traffic at the intersection.
- The carnival is an independent entity that sets their own pricing for rides and games.
- Currently, Gateway Park is the only option through our local parks where we are able to present KeyFest and we are greatful for that opportunity. Unfortunately, it lacks potable water, useable structures and has limited electricity for KeyFest to utilize, which limits what we can currently bring to KeyFest.
- The flow and layout of KeyFest has been scrutinized to account for traffic, area needs and resource availability. Also, Gateway Park has limited cover from weather elements within the allowed usable area, which creates challenges when needing to provide sun/rain protection for the patrons.
- What is your definition of Community? Here's one from the dictionary: "all the people who live in a particular area, or a group of people who are considered as a unit because of their shared interests or background": ex. There's a real sense of community (caring and friendly feeling) in this neighborhood.
Special Thanks to Key Pen Parks
We appreciate all of their assistance and support in helping us to make this a successful event.

Commentary. All examples seen of this extremely rare pattern show indications of extensive die rust. Judd-77 is a restrike issue produced for sale to collectors in the 1870s. An early auction appearance was in the Parmelee Collection (New York Coin & Stamp, 6/1890), lot 34. The preceding lot in that sale offered a specimen of Judd-76, from the same dies struck in silver. The issue was unlisted in Adams-Woodin and was not displayed in the 1914 ANS Exhibition. USPatterns.com states that four pieces are known to collectors today. The present offering is an opportunity that may not be repeated for years.
Physical Description. A magnificent specimen, with virtually faultless fields complementing an extraordinary strike. Much original mint red remains, blending gently into pale blue and chocolate-brown. The second finest certified at both services combined. NGC Census: This coin, graded PR66 Red and Brown, as well as a specimen graded PR67 Red and Brown Star. PCGS Population: A single coin graded PR63 Red and Brown (12/08).

Yesterday, Rafael Soriano signed with the Washington Nationals - (yes, even the woeful Nats are now raiding our larder) - for $28 million and a XL jersey with XXL tails. Meanwhile, we're left to play the traditional rebuilding strategy of the Washingtons and Tampas: Finish last enough times, and eventually you draft the Bryce Harpers, Evan Longorias and Stephen Strasburgs, and you challenge.So on this great Yankee holiday - Arod Surgery Day - let's spend a few moments looking forward to the next Yankee resurgence: 2018!Meanwhile, yet another Yankee star hath walketh out the Doomsday Door of Judgement, aka "Armaggeddon outahere." In return, the Yankees gain another high "sandwich" pick in the June amateur draft. We now hold numbers 27, 31 and 32. (Brackman, and Culver and Bleich, oh my!) Still, those numbers - 27, 31 and 32 - haunt me. What do they mean? Being the Bible scholar that I am, I quickly found answers in the Old Testament Book of Acts.27:31: "Then Paul said to the Cen...

I can't type in the gamethread, but there's a lot of talk about the horrible umpires.
It's the same group of minor league umps that worked the Mariner's series before this one and and bumped into the Manager before tossing him out,....specifically, Rob Drake.
This crew is actually from the minors and are replacements. They were terrible in the last M's series and are just as bad in this one. Just wait until it's Rob Drake's turn to get behind the plate tomorrow.

Been trying to get a shiny nincada egg in ruby by hatching. I've already got a slugma with flame body, but I was wondering if anybody had suggestions on how to speed the process up.
Been trying to get a shiny nincada egg in ruby by hatching. I've already got a slugma with flame body, but I was wondering if anybody had suggestions on how to speed the process up.
You could have one pokemon in your party and fill the other slots with eggs
....Already have been doing that. T.T (Thanks though.)
Get a collection of eggs and go around the area you want. When one hatches, deposit it in the box and get another egg.

Use the Mach bike which goes very fast to get those tile counters up faster and hatch faster. Also, try to have two nincada's in the day-care together, you get faster eggs when the two are of the same species.
Master balls are the cheapest thing ever invented. It's more fun catching everything with balls that can fail. 'caught Latios in the wild without master ball ftw'
Any other questions in the thread sticky for this sort of thing next time, please.

Caroline joined local activists out and about in Hillingdon today, giving out leaflets in Uxbridge.
"It was great to talk to so many residents and hear any issues Uxbridge residents have with transport and policing" commented Caroline.
Caroline joined local by-election candidate Jane Dodds, London Assembly candidate Munira Wilson, Robin Meltzer and other local Lib Dems in North Richmond meeting residents and traders concerned about speeding traffic on Lower Mortlake Road.
"There are some serious issues here and just a few small changes could make this road much safer for pedestrians, as well as other road users", commented Caroline.
Caroline joined an estimated 10,000 cyclists in the Big Ride in central London in support of the 'Going Dutch' campaign organised by the London Cycling Campaign.
The massive crowd, representing every age and background, braved at-times atrocious weather to be part of the UK's largest-ever bike ride supporting safer streets for cycling. Liberal Democrat Mayoral candidate Brian Paddick and Simon Hughes MP, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats also took part, reinforcing the strong support of the Liberal Democrats to safer streets for Londoners.
Caroline was one of the first politicians to formally endorse the campaign and over the last four years has repeatedly raised issues relating to cycle safety in her work on the London Assembly.
You can read more about the London Cycling Campaign Go Dutch campaign, and sign the petition, at the LCC's website.
Caroline joined Assembly Candidate Bridget Fox and local Lib Dem Councillors Terry Stacy, Tracy Ismail, David Wilson and other Lib Dem campaigners out and about in Islington.
"We had a fantastic reception on the doors, even though we got soaked through" commented Caroline
Caroline joined Assembly Candidate Chris Richards, Camden Lib Dem Councillors and activists, and Brian Paddick in Camden for some campaigning on Saturday.
The team were joined by a large group of Dutch colleagues over to help!
Caroline was joined by local Assembly Candidate John Russell, Lib Dem leader in Lewisham Cllr Chris Maines and Greenwich Lib Dem campaigner Chris Smith out and about in Greenwich on Friday afternoon, knocking on doors and talking to local people. The team got a great response and ended the day with a wonderful ice cream at Black Vanilla in Blackheath!

A guide to thrift store clothes shopping
A Great Budget Wardrobe
by Tricia Goss
Related Articles
6 Resale Shop Saving Secrets
Goodwill Hunting
Recycled Clothing 101
Building and replenishing your wardrobe with thrift store finds is a great way to save money. But maybe you're new to frugal living and don't know where to begin. Or perhaps you're a veteran tightwad who never got into buying second hand clothing. There's an art (or maybe it's a science?) to thrift store clothes shopping. Once you have mastered this, you'll likely find yourself reluctant to return to department store shopping.
First, change your mindset about purchasing used clothing. Stop thinking that second hand clothing is "icky." It's highly unlikely that someone died in that outfit (admit it, you've thought that!). Chances are that the previous owner simply cleaned out their closet and discarded things they didn't wear. And realize that even when buying clothing brand new, you have no way of knowing how many people before you tried it on. Simply give your purchases a good washing and you've got nothing to worry about!
Your next step is to find the best stores. You should window shop, scanning the layouts of several. The ideal stores will be very clean and organized. Look for well-stocked racks sorted by articles of clothing, sizes, and colors, and all facing one direction. While this might sound trivial, it is especially important for newbie thrift shoppers, as it will help keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
Once you've earmarked stores to shop at, your next step is to find out about any specials they offer. For example, some thrift stores will give you a coupon towards your next purchase when you donate a bag of clothing. Others have certain days when you pay one price for whatever you can stuff into a shopping bag, or they may have specials such as "Half Off Blue Tags." Once you know who offers what and when, you can plan your shopping trips. Ask if there is a mailing list you can get on or check the store's website for an email subscription. These will often alert you to some great specials others might not know about.
So you know which stores you're hitting today, and you have your budgeted funds and any coupons in hand. Your next step is to learn how to actually shop at thrift stores. It can be quite different from department store shopping. At department stores, a rack usually holds merely variations of sizes and colors of the same item, but at thrift stores, every single piece is unique. You need to really hunt or you might miss a great find! This is where it gets fun. Start by heading to your size of a particular item of clothing and find out which direction they face. Start at the front and push the items back away from you. Pull them toward you one by one, waiting for something to catch your eye. Don't worry if you don't see something right away. Ideally, you'll be hitting at least one store a week. Some days you might come home with one cute top, other times you'll hit the mother lode. Once you do see something you like, first check the price tag and make sure it's worth what it is marked. Next, check the tag inside the clothing to make sure it is the correct size (once in a while something will be tagged wrong at the store) and what the care instructions are. Try to stay away from dry clean only or you might negate your savings! Then look the article over carefully for any stains or holes. If it is a great buy and has a hole where a thread came loose at the seam, it might be worth fixing. But if it has a mysterious stain that you may or may not be able to get out, keep looking. Just because you're buying used clothing doesn't mean they should appear used. The point is to have an eye-catching wardrobe while staying within your means.
It's imperative that you know what looks good on you. If there's a dressing room, use it. If you have a fashion-conscious friend who's willing to shop with you, bring them. Don't worry about walking away with "outfits." You're building and refreshing your wardrobe. Focus on basics like a great-fitting pair of jeans or a nicely tailored pair of slacks in a flattering shade. Look for colors and styles that compliment your build and complexion. By sticking with what works for you, you'll soon find that many pieces of your growing wardrobe are interchangeable and will provide you with many different, becoming looks. If you happen to get home at the end of a shopping trip with a complete outfit, consider it serendipity. Before you know it, people will begin asking you how it is that you're always wearing something new. What you tell them is up to you; it'll be our little secret!

Does anybody trip out when different users post from the same forum topic (for example Lost Civilizations) back to back, or nearly back to back? I wouldn't get so weirded out if it were from the same user, but I just find it odd when it's different users posting in the same forum topic. I for one believe in the harmony of the universe, and in its synchronicity, so when I see things like that, it helps me to cultivate that awe for how wonderfully the universe is made.
Does anybody stand in awe of synchronous events?

We began to slink outside, tentatively crossing the terrace.
Jones, ever the charmer, proceeds to slink behind the desk and begin fake-hammering away at the keyboard.
Old English slincan "to creep, crawl" (of reptiles), from Proto-Germanic *slinkan (cf. Swedish slinka "to glide," Dutch slinken "to shrink, shrivel;" related to sling (v.)). Of persons, attested from late 14c. Related: Slinked; slinking.

All the latest on the newest little royal
FBI officers used the description while surveying video footage. Jeff had been cheering on his girlfriend Erin Hurley, who was running the race.
Friends and family have set up a facebook page to support him on the long road to recovery. His colleagues at a local store also found a novel way to boost his spirits, sending him a photo of themselves lying on the ground to spell out his name.
Meanwhile, his best friend posted: "Baumans doing awesome, another successful surgery and he's talking, making jokes and in very good spirits, I told him about the outpouring of support and the candlelight tonight he couldn't believe it says 'Love you guys.'"
Victims of the senseless tragedy have also received the personal support of President Barack Obama.
Speaking at an inter-faith service in the city, he told "the people of Boston and the families who've lost a piece of (their) heart", "a bomb can't beat us". "We carry on. We race. We strive. We build, and we work, and we love."
The US leader also said that all Americans have "been touched by this attack on your beloved city. Every one of us stands with you."
He concluded by predicting that this time next year "the world will return to this great American city to run harder than ever, and to cheer even louder, for the 118th Boston Marathon".

We struggled with what type of flatware to purchase for a wedding venue in Birmingham AL that is located in a rather low rent area. We had significant budget restraints. I searched for hours on the internet for great products at a good price and found this site. This flatware is very functional, looks great and the price was right. I would purchase it again. We have now used it for about 3 months and it works for us!
Thomas M. from WOODROW HALL Posted on 12/19/2010
I love the Regency flatware that I purchased. It is an excellent, high grade, quality stainless steel. The design is simple, but still elegant enough to use for any occasion. I'm am extremely happy with this purchase.

Heineken Cup Pool 2: Cardiff Blues end Glasgow Warriors' hopes
Last Updated: 14/12/13 10:00am
The Cardiff Blues players celebrate after the final whistle
Cardiff claimed back-to-back Heineken Cup victories over Glasgow with a battling 9-7 success at Scotstoun Stadium to go three points clear at the top of Pool 2.
The Warriors had the majority of territory and possession and almost total dominance at the scrum, but made too many errors and ultimately paid the price.
Leigh Halfpenny kicked two penalties after Rhys Patchell's monster 62-yard three-pointer early in the first half.
Ryan Grant crashed over for a converted score nine minutes from time before Duncan Weir missed a late penalty from 45 metres that would have snatched victory for the hosts.
But a tense encounter was ultimately won and lost in a 10-minute spell late in the first half when the Welsh side faced a series of five-metre scrums which they defended by any means possible.
Cardiff skipper Sam Hobbs was yellow-carded but Sean Maitland dropped the ball when he looked certain to cross and Niko Matawalu's try was disallowed.
Blues controlled much of the second half before the introduction of Chris Cusiter and Weir helped Glasgow gain the initiative, but the latter missed a difficult chance from a late penalty.
Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend demanded a far more clinical display following their 29-20 defeat at the Arms Park seven days earlier but poor handling cost them throughout as they stayed bottom.
The hosts struggled to get hold of the ball in the opening stages and Cardiff centre Patchell opened the scoring from 62 metres.
Warriors' early attacking play was undermined by a succession of knock-ons and Cardiff continued to dominate possession with the wind at their backs with Halfpenny doubling their lead with his second penalty attempt.
The momentum of the half shifted in the 25th minute when Tommy Seymour broke to put Cardiff on the back foot for the first time, however the move broke down with a forward pass.
But it sparked a spell of sustained pressure as Glasgow's forwards kept Cardiff on the rack inside their five-metre line. Twice Blues were penalised and Glasgow continued to scrum before Hobbs was sin-binned in the 32nd minute for another scrum offence that stopped Glasgow pushing over.
The visitors delayed the restart as they brought on prop Thomas Davies for winger Harry Robinson and Glasgow soon missed a glorious chance when Maitland dropped the ball on the try line.
Glasgow again won the scrum battle and Matawalu dived over a minute later but the try was disallowed for obstruction after the video referee ruled that Robert Harley had tackled a player off the ball.
A series of mistakes cost Glasgow momentum at the start of the second half - Ruaridh Jackson dropped the ball as Glasgow mounted an attack, Seymour lost the ball in his own 22 after calling a mark and Stuart Hogg passed into touch.
With Glasgow struggling to make inroads, they elected to kick a penalty from five metres away from both the touchline and 40-metre line but Jackson missed the target. Cardiff were looking comfortable with Patchell threatening to burst through before Halfpenny kicked a penalty from near the touchline in the 66th minute.
Glasgow immediately made four changes and stepped up a gear, kicking two penalties into touch in the Cardiff 22 in a bid to get back into the game, and they again saw their scrummaging pay off.
Cusiter directed play as Glasgow kept the pressure on and his reverse pass sent Grant over between the posts. Weir quickly converted.
Cardiff tried to kill the game near the halfway line but the Glasgow pack's ascendancy gave them a chance with two minutes left when the visitors were penalised for collapsing the scrum. However, Weir's attempt from near the halfway line was just off target.

Congrats on your new low-cost steed. I LOVE these bikes, I have owned three '78's in the past (2 XT's and 1 SR). Gear it as tall as you can for the hwy. I rode mine on the freeways of Dallas, TX back in the early 80's. Also, waterproof the points cover or you will learn some new curse words trying to kick some life in the scoot after a rain, don't ask me how I know!
Make sure it has the high volume oil line to the exhaust tappets or you will learn how to do a top end like I did on one of my XT's.
Good luck, you are going to love that scoot once you dial it in..

I should have new tires for it in a couple days.
What I am looking for is any suggestion on gearing this bike. I have to buy chain and sprockets so I only want to buy one set.
This wil be my primary form of transportation to work so it will see some highway riding. Mostly it will be rode to work and some forest service roads.

Clayvon Howard spent most of his middle school years with the wrong crowd - smoking, drinking and occasionally getting into fights. Until eighth grade, when he turned to a different group of friends, he was what he calls a "hood rat."
"My other friends showed me that I can change it," Howard said. "I can be whatever I want to be."
Saturday, the Washington High School of Information Technology senior stood tall with this message of change while serving as an emcee for an anti-violence rally hosted by his high school. The rally brought together city officials like Mayor Tom Barrett and Ald. Willie Hines, Milwaukee Public School administrators, Milwaukee students, community youth organizations, and nonprofit groups like Peace for Change Alliance. All gathered together for one common cause.
"[We want] to help end violence in the school system as well as branch it out into the community," said Tracey Dent, president of the Peace for Change Alliance who partnered with other nonprofit initiatives and MPS to make the rally possible.
As the first rally of its kind uniting MPS and community forces, it was initially supposed to be held March 10. But violent outbursts at MPS schools in recent weeks compelled Dent and MPS to move the date up to Saturday.
Dent aimed to get the entire community involved in the rally.
"You always got to remember that crime does not have a color, so it's important that everyone comes together," Dent said.
MPS students took the lead in organizing and facilitating the event and recruited youth groups like the Milwaukee Flyers tumbling team and the Riverside Gospel Choir as entertainment between speakers. The rally also highlighted MPS programs geared toward anti-violence such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, which was created to curb disruptions and suspensions in schools.
"What's key here is that the students are the ones organizing this with other groups in the community," said Tony Tagliavia, MPS media manager. "They're the ones stepping up to say we don't tolerate this in our communities, in our neighborhoods, and in our schools."
Barrett added his voice to the call for change, commending the more than 220 students who chose to spend their Saturday at the rally instead of playing video games at home or hanging out with friends.
"We want to make sure that we've got a safer city for the young people and for everyone," Barrett said.
"Too many times, these phone calls I get are about young people who are victims of violence, and a lot of time crimes are perpetrated by other young people," he added.
Barrett hopes to get jobs for 3,000 Milwaukee youths this summer with the help of employers throughout the city. In city government alone, he'd like to hire 130 interns.
"You have to give young people something positive to do to be productive," Barrett said.
Dent is on the same kind of mission as Peace for Change Alliance collaborates with the Milwaukee Urban League to plan summer youth events like a concert and resource fair.
Dent and the MPS team of students encouraged everyone at the rally to sign a "Peace Begins with Me" pledge before leaving. They will also spread the pledge throughout MPS and potentially the community.
Howard has optimism that Milwaukee and MPS will be able to change its bad habits just as he did.
"It gets better," Howard said. "No matter how long it takes, it always gets better."

Program/Project Management
A design that violated code and multiple construction problems—including structural deficiencies flagged earlier—caused the sudden collapse of a massive wall at a New York sewage plant in May, according to a forensic engineering report.
Worse, the same deficiencies may extend to other areas of the plant, where continuing safety concerns have led to partial shutdowns and work stoppages.
The collapse at the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Plant on May 16 released 580,000 gallons of sludge into a nearby creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River. Local officials said drinking water was not affected.
Claim Denied
The wall section—100 feet long and 23 feet high—held back about 154,000 gallons of treatment materials in four concrete treatment cells. The wall had been built in 2005 as part of a $67 million project to improve the plant's secondary treatment system.
The plant's insurance carrier, Glatfelter Claims Management Inc., of York, PA, has refused to cover the loss, citing faulty design and workmanship.
In denying the claim, the insurer cited an engineering evaluation it had requested from EFI Global, a Massachusetts-based engineering firm. The company provided a copy of EFI's report to the towns of Binghamton and Johnson City, which own the plant.
The engineering report was obtained this week by the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin, which detailed the findings in two articles.
Lap Splices Cited
"Based on observations made during the examination, the cause and origin of the collapse appears to be a combination of a design that did not comply to code and modifications made during construction of the facility that further reduced the strength of the wall," Edgar Eslinger, a structural engineer with EFI Global, wrote in the report.
The failure originated at improperly arranged "lap splices," where metal reinforcement bars within the wall's 18-inch-thick concrete overlap.
"The point of origin of the wall failure appears to be the lack of adequate development length and/or bond at the lap splice of the main reinforcing on the inside face of the wall," the report said.
Not only that, the report said, but vertical reinforcement bars should have had splices 104 inches long to meet American Concrete Institute building code requirements. Instead, construction documents called for 81-inch splices—and EFI measured the actual splices at only 64 inches the day after the collapse, the newspaper reported.
Construction Modifications
The report also found:
• Modifications were made during construction—including wall intersection reinforcements and waterstops—that did not conform to the original construction documents.
• The most notable design departure was installing the splices at the base of the wall, rather than the higher elevation called for in construction documents.
• The wall was designed and built without expansion or contraction joints, which may have caused or aggravated cracking of the wall.
• Deflections and cracking should have alerted the plant's owners and design team to problems with the wall.
• Modifications were made during construction—including wall intersection reinforcements and waterstops—that did not conform to the original construction documents.
• The most notable design departure was installing the splices at the base of the wall, rather than the higher elevation called for in construction documents.
• The wall was designed and built without expansion or contraction joints, which may have caused or aggravated cracking of the wall.
• Deflections and cracking should have alerted the plant's owners and design team to problems with the wall.
Engineers tested 22 core concrete samples and ruled out material problems and weather as factors in the collapse.
Owners Warned
The report noted that several diagonal cracks appeared to have been leaking before the wall failed, and steel angles had been attached to the top of the failed wall to seal a joint that had opened between the walls, according to the newspaper.
Those problems "should have alerted the owner and design team that issues existed with the integrity of the wall," the report said.
In fact, the newspaper said, plant officials did outline problems to both towns' officials as early as February 2009. Not until October 2010 did the owners hire an engineering firm, LMK Engineers of Pottstown, PA, to conduct a post-construction audit. The audit, released early this year, listed 157 construction deficiencies, the newspaper said.
A spokesman for the mayor "did not directly address questions about responsiveness of the owners to structural issues prior to the collapse," according to the newspaper.
Delta Engineers, the firm that designed the collapsed wall, has declined so far to comment on EFI's report.
Current Structure Studied
Meanwhile, other walls at the plant are showing signs of stress similar to those found in the collapsed wall, and a third company, C&S Engineers, is conducting a structural and safety study.
The Press & Sun-Bulletin reports that diagonal cracks are visible on other exterior concrete walls of the secondary treatment system, "darkened by apparent liquid seepage."
Fourteen of the 20 treatment cells have been emptied and taken out of service since the collapse, reducing capacity from 60 million gallons per day to 45 mgd, a plant spokesman told the newspaper.
Meanwhile, 40 union employees have refused to work in the secondary treatment area until it is declared safe, and seven management employees are running the system.
Lawsuits and More Reports
Longer term, the plant's owners have again commissioned LMK Engineers to conduct a structural investigation similar to EFI's.
That report will likely be used in the plant owners' recently filed lawsuit against 12 defendants, seeking $20 million in compensation for the construction problems.
Unanswered Questions
Officials declined to answer two questions posed by the newspaper:
• Do the owners know if the outer walls of the treatment cells unaffected by the collapse have the same design as the collapsed cells in construction documents?
• Are the owners investigating whether the outer walls of the other cells could have design problems?
• Do the owners know if the outer walls of the treatment cells unaffected by the collapse have the same design as the collapsed cells in construction documents?
• Are the owners investigating whether the outer walls of the other cells could have design problems?
"If the question is whether our engineers believe that the remaining walls are in danger of imminent collapse, the answer is no," a spokesman said.

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Screen::get_columns() in /Users/dd/Sites/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/visual-form-builder-pro/includes/admin-form-creator.php on line 49, referer: http://wordpress.localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?page=visual-form-builder-pro&action=ignore_notice
My screen looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/fgD6Y.png
Please help

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Brian Matusz pitched four hitless innings and retired his first 11 batters before a walk in the Baltimore Orioles' 9-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. After a season that saw him sent to the minors and then return as a reliable reliever, the left-hander is trying to earn a rotation spot with the Orioles. He struck out seven. Chris Dickerson hit a solo home run in the third off Kevin Correia, who allowed two runs -- one earned -- and four hits in 4 2-3 innings. Minnesota's Justin Morneau went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts in his first game back after playing for Canada in the World Baseball Classic. Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe remains out for at least several more days with a calf strain. Eduardo Escobar, who has just 59 games of big league experience, started at third and went 0 for 2.
