I actually liked this movie even better the second time I saw it, actually kind of loved it the second time. Its definitely worth a watch. Watch it when you are in the mood of watching a romantic movie with a twist, two people meet each other through letters but are separated by time. two years to be exact...

charming, you'll have a good time watching
The Lake House, a remake of a little-known South Korean film, Siworae (released here as Il Mare), reunites Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in a romantic/fantasy drama twelve years after their star-making turns in Speed. While Reeves and Bullock played a romantic couple in Speed, the romantic angle was relegated to a subplot. Still, Reeves and Bullock clicked together onscreen, so it's not surprising they were asked to appear in a romantic drama together. What is surprising is that it took twelve years for them to work together again. And before you ask, Reeves gives one of the better, more credible performances of his career (yes, it was as difficult to write as it is to read).
Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock), a doctor about to complete a sabbatical at a lake house before taking a position at a large Chicago hospital, leaves a letter as a courtesy for the next tenant, Alex Burnham (Keanu Reeves), a former architect turned condo developer who's purchased the lake house as a renovation project (and for personal reasons that become clear later on). In her letter, she apologizes for paw prints on the jetty that connects the lake house to the land and a box in the dusty attic. Alex investigates and doesn't find either one.
Perplexed, Alex responds to Kate. In turn, Kate notes that Alex can't get his years straight. His letters are dated '04, hers are dated '06. The mailbox at the lake house has magical properties, serving as a conduit between 2004 and 2006. Alex's present is Kate's past, and Kate's present is Alex's future. Alex's doubts that Kate's putting him on are quickly allayed once Kate predicts a freak weather storm (why Kate believes Alex is writing from the past as easily as she does is left unanswered). Alex and Kate also discover they share the same dog, Jack (actually a she).
Before Alex and Kate can meet (if in fact, they do), they have other obstacles to overcome. Alex has to reconcile with his estranged father, Louis Burnham (Christopher Plummer), a brilliant, difficult architect, and convince his younger brother, Henry (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), another architect in a family of architects, to start his own firm. Kate has to cope with the long hours at the hospital and a persistent ex-lover, Morgan (Dylan Walsh), a lawyer who promises Kate a bland, comfortable life together and not much else. Alex and Kate also have to uncover whatever hidden connections that might have shared in their joint pasts that's brought them together again, albeit two years apart.
Asking Keanu Reeves to hold up his end in a drama-heavy, non-action film has been always a dicey proposition (he's better suited to monosyllabic action roles, comedic turns where he plays off his stoned surfer persona, or smaller character parts where the onus of carrying a scene or a film is on another actor), but for once, casting Reeves as the lead in a romantic drama somehow pays off, mostly because Reeves avoids the awkward, stiff line readings that have made him an object of derision among critics and moviegoers.
Reeves' performance aside, The Lake House manages to work for several reasons, beginning with Sandra Bullock as the co-lead, a solid supporting cast featuring the always watchable Christopher Plummer as Alex's father, a grounded screenplay that (mostly) avoids cheap sentimentality, and straightforward, unobtrusive direction by Argentinean director Alejandro Agresti (Valentin), making his English-language filmmaking debut. Agresti keeps his camera focused on the actors and eliciting grounded performances, keeping stylistic tricks to a minimum, with the exception of several unnecessary overhead crane shots that add nothing dramatically.
Story wise, The Lake House indulges in a handful of genre clich
Movie Review: The Lake House
Romance movies tend to be the genre of movies that I avoid at all cost. The drama is typically clich
These two are seperated in time by 2 years. He is in 2004 and she is in 2006, yet he figures out a way to meet her at one of her birthday parties. They even slow dance and kiss each other!! But he dosen't say anything real to her. So what's the problem?.... She doesn't need to know or understand what's about to happen... Just start a relationship !!! And Hey, future girl, if you're gonna send a book to me from the future make it a Sports History book so that I can make a Jillion $$ on game results, fights, races, etc. not a book on architecture.. This whole movie revolves around this magical mailbox that instantly sends letters back and forth. Good thing too because the plot is sooooo slow if the viewer had to wait for the mailman to come and go we would all be waiting into the next century for the outcome .... I will say one thing positive about this movie. Seeing Sandra and Kneau together again really makes me miss the movie Speed... :rotten:
*WARNING* May contain spoilers
"The Lake House", starring long time friends Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock - working together again for the first time since "Speed" (1994) - is a story of semi-magical connection between a man and a woman which spans the width of two years. You see, Kate (Bullock) and Alex (Reeves) have both lived in the same gorgeous house made entirely of glass. Kate is moving out and leaves a letter in the mailbox wishing the next tenant good luck and enjoyment in the house, as well as a forwarding address for her mail. Through movie magic (and possibly fate), Alex - who just purchased the house - receives this letter and the two begin to correspond.
Confused at first, they soon realize they are living two years apart, Alex in 2004 and Kate in 2006. While an odd set of circumstances (and theoretically impossible), they continue to write. Both are failures when it comes to relationships and they find the letters a great chance to talk to someone of the opposite sex and not have to face rejection. Soon they fall in love but are not sure how they could ever meet to make a relationship work because of the time issues. They share a dog (too complicated to explain here) and their hearts. Attempts to meet do not work and they begin to lose hope. Can they find a way to be together? Or will this simply be another failed relationship to add to their lists?
Despite what people have been saying, I thoroughly enjoyed "The Lake House." Complex, sci-fi plot aside, it comes down to a story about how two peoples lives change when they allow themselves to connect. It's honest. Its cinematography is gorgeous and the performances are good. Keanu and Sandra have an amazing on-screen chemistry as we have witnessed before (in Speed), but here it is more mature. Sandra delivers a performance closer to her character in "Crash" (2005) and less like that of "Miss Congeniality." Kate is a charming but self-conscious and lonely woman. Keanu gives what I believe is his best performance in a movie yet! His famous slightly "wooden" acting style is perfect for the character of lonely architect Alex, and he can really become someone quite believable and open in the moments when his character is happy. While the two do not share much direct on-screen time, that serves to make the moments they do share it SO desirable. The viewer longs to see Alex and Kate meet face to face and for this relationship to work out for them. Especially delightful, were the voiceovers (of the letter reading and writing) which filled the movie as other things happened. It was a clever way to keep them from always sitting at a desk and brightened the tone of the film overall.
Forget thinking about how all the time travel works, that's not the important part. The important point of this movie is the relationship between these two people. The magic of the time transcending mailbox only serves to bring them together, but so do many other things in their lives (as we come to find out). It gives the viewer hope that maybe they are destined for love like this - maybe not with the assistance of a post office receptacle - but fated in some way to meet that one person for them.
"The Lake House" is a touching film, free of all the hustle and bustle of modern American cinema and culture in general. There's no emailing, just good old-fashioned letter writing. It's a throwback to the real movies - before we forgot how to make them - before we forgot that a movie is about the people in it and not about sex, drugs and rock and roll. "The Lake House" is a beautiful film and you should really go see it. Don't go in expecting it to all make sense, but go in with an open heart and open eyes and let it win you over. Critics have gone to theatres with their arms crossed and their minds made up already. Take a lesson from Alex and Kate, open your heart and see what happens. And hey, it's only $8.00. ;)
:fresh: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:
I have mixed feelings about The Lake House. I put aside all the implausibility in the plot. Sandra Bullock ("Miss Congeniality 2") stars as a doctor who leaves a note for the next tenant when she moves out of her lake house. An architect, Keanu Reeves ("Constantine") picks up the letter and writes back that she must be confused, no one has lived in the house for years. As they write back and forth, they find that he is living in 2004 and she is living in 2006. Through this inexplicable time loop, they fall in love.
While these romantic films are not the best for Reeves ("Constantine"), he doesn't ruin it. The movie's pacing is what really does it in. It drags. For a less than 2 hour film, I felt I was in the theater for 3 hours. Also, I saw what was coming about 15 minutes in, I just wasn't sure how the movie was going to get there and if that ending would satisfy me.
Besides the pacing, Reeves' brother in the film, Ebon Moss-Bachrach ("Live Free or Die") really got on my nerves. Every time they were on screen together, they would seem to be yelling their lines. The brothers weren't arguing just SPEAKING REALLY LOUDLY. Weird.
But, problems aside, I did find myself believing in the romance and hoping they would get together in the end.
Anyway, I say rent it or see a matinee. But don't pay evening prices if you must see this.

New To Seattle, Can I be new for you?
I'm a great guy; at least I think I am. I consider myself to be overly kind and typically put others before myself. This has on more than one occasion gotten me in trouble. Ask me about this if you feel so compelled! I have a very dynamic personality. I can be the life of the party or the quiet person in the corner waiting to get comfortable. I have a shy streak when I first meet people. This may be something I might have to overcome to really find someone, and I'm working on it. I love making others laugh, even if at my own expenses on occasion. I believe I truly deserve someone special and I know I can be that , as well. I am a traveling service engineer during the week for Philips Medical. This means I am typically gone Monday - Friday doing installations and applications for MRI systems through the US, occasionally internationally. I've been to Singapore and the Netherlands recently, all from work! I'm happy to discuss any aspect of this and someday, I will change to a concrete job that keeps me home during the week, but right now, the perks are amazing, and I share them! I'm originally from Wisconsin and my accent shows through here and there. I still have family back home and visit them as often as I can, but I moved out here from a short stint in Arizona in hopes of having a better life. I've found that with some friends that were already here and new friends I've made along the way. I'm loving the stay so far and don't look to leave too soon. The mountains are great, the hiking is amazing, Lake Sammamish is a great lake to live on, and the summer is perfect. More to come about my thoughts on fall - spring. I truly hope I can find someone special on here and truly hope you find me worth looking into. I'm ready for something more than the average. I don't intend to be a statistic.

One Noob, a vintage Honda Twin, and the 2011 Mexican 1000
After participating in cross-country racing for most of this season, http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=550314 (my first attempt at motorcycle racing) I got the itch bad. I started thinking about some bigger races that would be fun and doable. I loved the Desert 100 and was looking toward the Vegas to Reno. But I also started researching some of the classic desert races and desert sleds of the 50's, 60's and early 70's. These bikes are damn cool. Of course, "On Any Sunday" got multiple views on Netflix as well as other classics like "Hare and Hound" and Wes Brown's "Baja 1000 Classic," which is footage from Bruce Brown's Wild World of Sports coverage of the 1968 Mexican 1000.
I decided that I wanted to build a vintage desert bike and to race in NORRA's newly reformed Mexican 1000 race in April 2011. The original Baja 1000 was called the Mexican 1000. The new Mexican 1000 was conceived as a way of reliving the glory days of desert racing.
People are racing vintage cars, trucks, buggies and yes, motorcycles. I admit, there is just something cool about seeing an Oldsmobile 442 Hugger racing in the sand!
The pace is not as hectic as the Baja 1000; instead it is a 3-day rally with bivouacs in the evening where repairs on the classic machines could be done through the night. Through PM's here on ADV, HogWild, a participant of this year's race told me that he had more fun racing in the Mexican 1000 than almost any other race…and he is veteran of the Baja 1000! It would be my hope to finish the race.
So, the race was decided…next was the bike I was going to ride. The rules allow for anything older than 1989 (they also allow alternative-fueled vehicles, but this didn't interest me in the slightest..not in a vintage race). The idea of using a late 80's bike felt a little like cheating. Compared to a 1970 Triumph, even my 1987 XR250R would be much more race ready and competitive…but where's the fun in that. I mean, a 1989 XR600R is essentially a modern bike..tons of power, high ground clearance, long travel mono-shock, good forks and disc brakes… where's the classic vibe? And not to besmirch Jonah Street's 2010 Mexican 1000 victory on a borrowed late model XR, but I would have loved to see him compete on a true vintage bike…like say a Bultaco, TR6 or 1967 Husky 360!
Being a very basic mechanical guy, I was intimidated by the thought of getting a British or European bike for my freshman attempt. I was also concerned about costs associated with running such a machine. My research pointed me straight to Larry Bergquist and Gary Preston.
These two men raced a nearly stock Honda 350 Twin in the first Mexican 1000 in 1967, and to victory in the second running in 1968!
So that got me researching and thinking:
Honda Twin 350's are pretty plentiful and were produced in three models: The CB350, CL350 Scrambler, and the SL350.
There is fantastic aftermarket support for these bikes and engines.
They are used in vintage flat track racing and are favorites for bobbing and caféing.
And by all counts they are bulletproof and reliable..if not on the slow side stock.
The search was on. The first thing I found out was that the SL350 is the most rare of the three…and the one most suitable for an off-road race. I test rode this one but felt it was a bit worn for the price he was asking…it was weeping oil and felt a bit loose.
Of course, my 2 Noobs Racing partner, Luke, was quick to point out that I should expect that from any 40 year old bike I made an offer, the guy never got back to me.
I finally found this 1973 CL350 close to Luke's house.
The bike was not running but looked to be pretty complete. I loved the look of it and thought this would be a good starting point. It was even red like the Bergquist/Preston bike! And the price was cheap (I got it for much less than asking price). I figured that even if I didn't use it, I could get some good spares from this bike for the race.
I got the bike home and dug in.
I started dreaming about doing a front-end swap for either a pair of Ceriani's or something from a dirt bike with a little more travel and lighter wheels. The CV carbs were not in the best shape and I thought it would be a good idea to go with some flat-slide carbs.
One thing I was going to find out about racing/building vintage bikes is that many people love the idea and are willing to step up and help out. First off, Glenn, a motorcycle man from way back, offered up an old, original Honda Twin Clymer Manual from his collection, from when he used to assemble them as new bikes, as a part-time gig in The Dalles, Oregon. about a million years ago.
My friend Lonnie, who has been "sponsoring" my racing efforts on the DRZ by being my "graphics man", also went with me to pick up the CL350 the same day he bought himself a sweet little vintage 1973 TL125.
Lonnie also let me borrow a sweet old Chilton service manual that covered the Honda Twins!
You meet the nicest people when building a vintage Honda race bike.
I bought new points, a condensor, spark plugs and these beautiful twin carbs from Sudco (which almost costs as much as the whole bike)
I figured, the carbs would work on any Honda 350 I ended up using..and they were big…and brand new, and real pretty
Next was to attack the CL's gas tank, which had its Kreem lining flaking and peeling away. After reviewing the knowledge on the interwebs…I felt up to the task and got myself a gallon of acetone and some drywall nails.
After sloshing and rattling, most of the Kreem came out…most of it. It looked like I was going to have to use the scary MEK stuff to get the rest of it out. Let me tell you now, I hate Kreem.
The bike needed handlebar controls, so I went to a bike salvage yard and picked up a throttle control for much more than it was worth. Disappointed with the crappy salvage yard find, I later picked up a Honda dirt bike Motion-Pro throttle controller for the same $20 bucks I spent on the junk part. I then decided that I would just buy new dirt-oriented stuff instead of using vintage controls. This way I could easily get spares and not use 40-year- parts on items most likely to break during training or racing. I got some motion pro brake and clutch perches and levers for $13.99 each.
I read up on points and timing and Luke and I slapped it all together, wired up a $2 Radio Shack momentary switch for the starter, set the timing as close as possible, slid in a new battery, threw on a XR plastic gas tank, and gave the CL350 a shot.
No go. Backfiring only. Apparent timing issue, or maybe an intermitten coil problem…or?? Anyway, I was in the process of figuring out the issue when our own Ladybug0048 PM'd that she knew of a 1972 SL350 that was running that I could get for a "killer deal"
Wary of the killer deal because I had just dumped the money for the carbs…Ladybug assured me again that it would be a "killer deal" and she would deliver the bike from Spokane to the Oregon Coast! Well, sho' nuff' she weren't joshing me. And about a week later I saw this beauty pulling up in front of my house!
Holy Macintosh! This bike was way too nice for me to turn into a desert sled and race it down the Baja Pennisula. "Hogwash" said Ladybug. That's exactly what this bike needs, she insisted. The bike had been built by her friend Larry from basket cases. It just so happens that Larry is a master Honda Technician and it showed. The bike had been in storage for more than 15 years…although it was last registered in 1999. The only thing it needed was a battery and some de-rusting of the tank. Killer Deal indeed!
Of course, I couldn't wait for all of that…so I hooked up the plastic gas tank from my XR250 and the battery from my DRZ and gave it a shot.
After a few kicks and slight adjustment of the idle screws, she came to life!! And then she just purred like a kitten! No kidding, this thing ran nicer than my V-strom.
I then set out to de-rust the tank. Having had to deal with the nightmare of the Kreemed lined CL tank, I swore off ever using that crap on anything. Instead I thought I would try this stuff:
I saw it at the local lumberyard and thought I'd give it a try. It worked so well on the rusty pliers I had in my boat for two years, I figured it would work on the tank.
Well, it did.
Not wanting to wait for a battery to be shipped, I took some measurements and went down to my local Les Schwab. I bought what I think was a jet-ski battery and shoehorned it into the SL's compartment. Some new gas lines from the hardware store and two in-line filters, fresh oil and I was ready to go. First test ride…an evening cruise along the coast.
Let's just say this bike is smooth as silk and runs as new. There are no drips, seeps or weird sounds anywhere! What a great place to start for my desert sled project. I will be including some modern touches to make it a little more functional like adjustable rear suspension and low-power-draw LED lights.
Stay tuned…the fun is just beginning. Next up, custom bash plate, new handlebars and rear light solution…and I hope to get that CL350 running and maybe use it as trading stock against another SL350 parts bike for spares for the race.

Wow, you must be crazy. In fact anyone who enters that race on something other than a XR600 is crazy.
As you will see when you get to Mexicali, being crazy puts you in some very good company. But that is what we expect from inmates, so hope to see you there.

I'm feeling a bit left out here... Jonah actually started the race on a '87ish Husky but that bike gave up the ghost almost within sight of the Start line. I stopped (started after him) and told him if he wanted to continue to La Paz then we could share my '88 XR. I couldda easily done the entire race, but we're old friends and he came a lone way to DNF so early.
Yeah, I had a cheater bike (it was awesome too). But there were for sure some goofy rules and regulations for that event. There were race cars that would still be competitive today. I believe the 1st real vintage finisher would have been that Olds in the pic you posted @ 13th overall.

Thanks for all of the info and pictures!! Any idea why the old Honda DNF'd? I would love to pick your brain as things progress..please feel free to call BS, or offer advice as I stumble through this!
Nothing wrong with your cheater bike , I think in order to make good time, ie; actually be competitive, that would be the only way to go! Good on ya for giving Jonah the ride
I'm looking forward to them announcing the dates in April so I can plan a bit more.

Ok so somehow I forgot about this thread since the first few posts on page 1. Don't worry, I'm subscribed now.
Glad the cheapie foot pegs worked out for you. I've had them so long I forget they're there but they sure work great on the Strom. Even with my now treadless boots I've never slipped.
I'm devising my plan on how to get to Baja in April. How ever it ends up working out I'll be there to root you on and drink cervezas with you in the evenings.
And.....thanks for the Netflix suggestion. I know what I'm watching tonight!

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/16/12
The Mets had a pretty successful opening weekend in Philadelphia, beating the Phillies in two out of three games. After nine games, all within the Eastern Division of the National League, the Mets find themselves at 6-3. Not too bad at all. So here are the 3 and 3 from this weekend. 3 Up: It's All About David: David Wright, broken finger and all, returned to the Met's line up on Saturday. First pitch to him, over the fence for a homerun. That's what leaders do. Make no mistake, this is David Wright's team. So long as David stays healthy, the Mets will compete. Jon Niese: New nose, new contract, and a near shutout in the bandbox called Citizens Bank Park. On Saturday Niese went 6 2/3 innings, scattering five hits and giving up no runs. Niese is on his way to becoming a front end of the rotation guy. Bay & Ike: Jason Bay went yard in the first inning on Saturday, and Ike Davis turned the trick on Sunday. As much as David in the heart and soul of the team, he can't do everything...

Race for the Bomb
Dramatized documentary about the Manhattan Project, starting from the initial stages of scientific discovery that led to the creation of the atomic bomb, and ending with the beginning of the arms race.
The production was a joint venture involving several production companies, including Astral Film Enterprises, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Jadran Film, Philippe Dussart, Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI), Ronald Cohen Productions, TF1, and Téléfilm Canada. Very little information is available online, although IMDB [1] has an article about it. Currently, it is not being distributed to the public.
The production is quite elaborate, and covers the development of many aspects related to the origin of the bomb, such as scientific, political, and personal. Aside from the more well known names, such as Robert Oppenheimer, Leslie Groves, and Edward Teller, it includes slightly less well known yet critical individuals of this real-life and world changing saga. Individuals such as Leo Szilard (chain reaction), Werner Heisenberg (co-discoverer of Quantum Mechanics and leader of the German bomb project), etc. give a great depth to the narrative of the events.

Advice & Support
syndrome is an illness of the
nervous system that can appear 15 to 50 years after you
polio. It affects your muscles and nerves, and it
causes you to have weakness, fatigue, and muscle or joint pain.
Although post-polio syndrome can make some day-to-day activities more difficult, treatment can help control symptoms and help you stay active. Your symptoms may not get worse for many years. Post-polio syndrome usually progresses very slowly.
Only people who
have had polio can get post-polio syndrome. But having post-polio syndrome
doesn't mean that you have polio again. Unlike polio, post-polio syndrome doesn't spread from person to person.
Post-polio syndrome most likely
arises from the damage left over from having polio.
The polio
virus harms the nerves that control muscles, and it makes the muscles weak. If
you had polio, you may have gained back the use of your muscles. But the nerves
that connect to the muscles could be damaged without your knowing it. The
nerves may break down over time and cause you to have weak muscles
Researchers are studying other possible causes of
post-polio syndrome. One theory is that the
immune system plays a role.
Symptoms of post-polio
syndrome tend to show up very slowly. The main symptoms are:
Depending on which muscles are affected, this trio of muscle weakness, fatigue, and pain can make daily activities more difficult. For example, people with shoulder or arm weakness may have trouble getting dressed. People who have weakness in their legs may have trouble walking or climbing stairs.
Some people with post-polio syndrome
also have problems with swallowing, sleeping, and tolerating cold
temperatures. Or they may need help to improve their breathing.
Doctors diagnose post-polio syndrome based on your symptoms, medical history, and lab tests. Your doctor will look at how polio affected you and how well you healed from
it. Lab tests will be done to check for other causes of your symptoms. If your symptoms and history point to post-polio syndrome, and if tests cannot find another cause, then your doctor may diagnose post-polio syndrome.
You may
need to have more tests or exams if your symptoms change.
Post-polio syndrome is a
condition that you may have for the rest of your life. The goal of treatment is to help you control symptoms and learn ways to stay active in spite of your
muscle weakness. Here are some things you can do to stay active and feel better:
If your condition gets worse, your treatment needs may increase. Be sure to see your doctor whenever new symptoms occur or your symptoms get worse.
is common in people with post-polio syndrome, as with many long-term illnesses. But it may be hard to recognize, because symptoms of fatigue, low energy, and sleep problems can occur
with both conditions. If you think you may be depressed, talk to your doctor. Treatment can often greatly improve
symptoms of depression.
Not everyone who had polio gets post-polio syndrome. It's hard
to predict who will get symptoms, when symptoms will begin, and how severe they
will be. The exact amount of time it takes for symptoms to start is different
for each person. Symptoms may have started as soon as 15 years after you had polio.
You are more
likely to get post-polio syndrome if you:

Here Comes The Groom ... on an Elephant!
Posted in: Weddings
Date: June 17, 2011
How do you envision your dream wedding? Will your groom make an entrance as grand as your own, arriving atop a decorated elephant or horse as in many traditional Indian weddings?
That's what bride Monisha had in mind for her wedding at The Woodlands Resort last December. Known in Indian culture as a baraat, her groom Pritesh arrived at the ceremony in a horse drawn carriage amidst singing, dancing and music from family and friends.
Lasting for days, traditional Indian weddings are lavish, brightly colored events with music, dancing and wonderful food. Typically known to be larger than American weddings, Indian brides and grooms can expect anywhere between 500-1,000 to attend.
There are variations in Indian wedding traditions according to religion, region and the community.
Brides take part in the festive mehndi ceremony where henna is used to decorate the hands and feet on the eve of the marriage ceremony. Joined by the women in her family, this is a fun and happy gathering for the bride.
Hindu wedding ceremonies take place under the mandap canopy. Typically, the bride and groom sit on cushions or chairs in front of the Sacred Fire where the priest recites various mantras.
The wedding reception is a lively and grand affair with non-stop dancing, music and traditional cuisine.
Take a peek into the nuptials of Erum and Mozi who celebrated their special day at The Woodlands Resort! Additional photos here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ericka I did a century ride in these! These are my first pair of cycling shorts, and I did 100 miles in them! I did more than a hundred miles if you account for a ride off course and going back to retrieve a partner. It was my first century ride, and my first pair of bike shorts. I think I'll do them both AGAIN! ;) It was an awesome ride, and I didn't have to worry about my butt, because it was holding up just fine! September 7, 2014

Torrey Smith tweets about his brother and New England Patriot fans with their rude tweets
The AFC Championship game may have been decided a couple of days ago, however that hasn't stopped players from both sides from taking shots at each other. Terrell Suggs ripped the Patriots saying they are arrogant, while Wes Welker's wife took a few shots at future Hall of Fame linebacker, Ray Lewis questioning his role model status. Could this be the best NFL rivalry moving forward?
Well if the parting shots between the two teams wasn't enough, Torrey Smith has been the recipient of some rude tweets from New England fans. Smith, who tweeted that he has played many games since his brother's death, has never received so many rude tweets after a win that last Sunday.
Played a lot of games since my brothers death and I never received as many rude tweets after a win than Sunday…yet NE fans cry about class
— Torrey Smith (@TorreySmithWR) January 22, 2013
From the looks of it, Smith seems to be engaged in some of the trash tweeting he receives. Torrey is known to comment on the negative tweets he receives which often times turns into fans blowing up the rude person's twitter account. However, Smith refrained from engaging with the trash talking tweeters this time.
Whenever we play the other teams fans always blow my twitter up talking trash hoping I respond…not happening haha

Peter Schiff is the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, making him part of the "1 percent." He recently went down to Occupy Wall Street to confront protesters who don't think he is paying his "fair share" in taxes. Schiff points out not only is he paying more taxes than his secretary, but he also gave her a job. He also makes it clear that because he is part of the 1 percent in this country and therefore paying more taxes, he is "picking up the slack" of the 99 percent. With recent reports of rape, burglary, assault and calls to "eat the rich" at OWS, Schiff made a pretty brave move by confronting these people.

- Post-unblinding analysis of MA-17 trial data provides evidence for potential benefit of starting Femara up to seven years after finishing
tamoxifen - Femara only member of aromatase inhibitor class with data demonstrating
this potential benefit, as published in Journal of Clinical Oncology - Half of all breast cancer recurrences occur five or more years after
diagnosis - Separate analysis published in Annals of Oncology affirms significant
advantages of Femara when taken after standard tamoxifen therapy
EAST HANOVER, N.J., March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Women may reduce the risk of their breast cancer returning by starting treatment with Femara(R) (letrozole tablets) anywhere from one to seven years after finishing tamoxifen therapy, according to a new analysis published today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology(1).
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to:
The exploratory analysis of post-unblinding results from the landmark MA-17 trial, led by the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group, evaluated a subset of women in the original placebo group when the study was unblinded.
The analysis shows that women who started Femara several years after completing the recommended five years of tamoxifen reduced their risk of breast cancer coming back by 63% compared to those who did not start Femara(1). In addition, the risk of cancer spreading to other areas of the body was reduced by 61%. The median period before starting Femara was 31 months.
"The important message for women is that it may never be too late for
many breast cancer survivors to do more to protect themselves against the
ongoing risk of disease recurrence," said Paul Goss, M.D., PhD., of the
Massachusetts General Hospital in Bo

Fewer State Employers Providing Health Plans
Marie Price The Journal Record, THE JOURNAL RECORD
Despite the increasing importance of health insurance as an employee benefit, since 1979 the number of workers covered by employer plans has dropped in all wage, race, education and gender categories, a joint legislative panel was told Monday.
Senate fiscal analyst David Blatt told the Joint Task Force on Expansion of Health Insurance Coverage that among all workers, between 1979 and 1993 the percentage participating in employer- provided health insurance decreased from 71 percent to 64 percent. Among those lowest on the wage-earning totem pole, the data fell from 40 percent to 27 percent. Even among high-dollar wage earners, coverage dropped from 87 percent to 80 percent over the same time span.
In 1979, 76 percent of men were provided health insurance at work, compared with 68 percent in 1993, and among women, the percentage fell from 61 percent to 58 percent.
More whites are covered than blacks or Hispanics, but the figures are down in every ethnic category: whites, from 72 percent to 66 percent; blacks, 66 percent to 61 percent and Hispanics, 63 percent to 47 percent.
Blatt pointed out that coverage is also down for all educational levels, ranging from 63 percent of those with less than a high school diploma in 1979, down to 45 percent in 1993, to 80 percent of those with some graduate-level education in 1979 down to 79 percent in 1993.
"Every single category, just about, declines," he said.
Sen. Grover Campbell, R-Owasso, asked whether legislative requirements on health plans could be the reason for the drop in coverage.
"Every time you mandate, the cost of insurance goes up, so employers drop insurance," he said. "Somebody has to pay for that."
Blatt said the same 1998 study by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, which produced the statistics, contains some answers, particularly regarding the drop in coverage of the working poor.
The study concluded that for about 70 percent of all uninsured workers, the reason is lack of access to employer-based coverage.
"It's not offered," said Blatt.
He pointed out that in 1996 only 43 percent of workers making $7 per hour or less were offered health insurance by their employers, 70 percent of those making between $7 and $10 per hour, 85 percent of those earning between $10 and $15 an hour and 93 percent of those who are paid more than $15 per hour.
However, the study also noted that declining rates of employee coverage, from 1987 to 1996, can also be explained by increasing numbers of workers rejecting coverage, for a variety of reasons. Blatt said the "family take-up rate," or ratio of workers choosing family coverage, fell from 93 percent to 89 percent, and from 89 percent to 76 percent for those earning less than $7 per hour.
During this period, the study determined, average employee contribution requirements rose by 18.3 percent annually for employee- only coverage and by 11.9 percent per year for family coverage -- at a time during which real hourly wages of low-income workers declined by 2.3 percent.
Blatt said the average required employee contribution runs about $1,650 per year, a substantial sum for low-level wage earners.
He provided U.S. Census Bureau data showing that the most likely individual to be uninsured is a young, poorly educated male who is either employed part-time or unemployed and who is foreign born or not a U. …

Promising signs
We may have just welcomed in 2011 but Gail Davis says there are already signs that it will be a fantastic year.
Last Updated: 07/01/11 10:14am
For some 2011 is already proving to be a happy new year. Leeds, Harlequins and Sale enjoyed huge wins on the opening weekend of it. Sale were unrecognisable under their new coach Pete Anglesea and captain Mark Cueto.
The performance in the first half against Saracens was outstanding, remember this was the side thumped by Leicester six days earlier. There was a real spirit, players playing for each other and their coach and their third try by Chris Bell was the sort of try the Sale wingers have only been able to dream about after being stuck out on the freezing wing with on average three touches of the ball per game.
Talking of which it wasn't much of a fun outing for Gavin Henson who remarkably by the time he was substituted had a shirt as clean as when he started, no mean feat on the Sale pitch. He barely touched the ball at Edgeley Park, watched on as Cueto touched down for the first try and managed to get himself in Brad Barrit's (playing the inside centre position Henson is eyeing up) way. All was enough though to earn him fitness testing with Wales this week and a staunch defence from Shaun Edwards in the Sky Sports News' studio on Sunday night.
With so little to look at, the analysis for London Irish on Henson ahead of their game with Saracens was made easy, in fact they were so distracted by the tan the only remarks made were over the level of orange he has now reached. I think any squad looking to end a run of nine straight defeats will be delighted to see him line up in the midfield on Sunday especially at outside centre where he clearly doesn't want to play. One thing Toby Booth wishes his squad could inherit from Henson is his self confidence "Henson has so much self confidence in his own ability if all my players had that you wouldn't ever have to give a team talk."
Wishing for a Snood
As I stood at the London Irish training ground losing the feeling in my fingers and toes, wishing that like Seilala Mapusua I had taken the snood fashion one step further with a white balaclava, it seemed a long way away from the sunshine of Abu Dhabi. It might have had something to do with the fact it was about zero degrees but the idea of playing a competitive game with sun on their backs got the thumbs up from everyone.
It sounds delightful a sunshine break and a game of rugby but a quick glance at the fans message boards and it is clear not everybody has the same warm feeling about the idea. In the pursuit of becoming a global brand and attracting new money there are some that feel the real fans, those that are happy to watch Wasps against Harlequins, without their International stars in a LV=Cup a competition that most people still haven't worked out how you qualify from a group where you don't play the other teams in it, have been forgotten.
London Irish have talked about playing a St Patrick's Day game in Boston in the past, Leicester too have suggested they could be ready to go global, it is an exciting time for the game. Only a few years ago the prospect of playing club games at Twickenham or Wembley would have been unthinkable and on one weekend over Christmas we had both, so watch this space.
Manu for England?
Those two sides meet this weekend on a super Saturday of rugby which also includes Leicester against Northampton which should be a fantastic match up. With the Six Nations now only a month a way it's trial time for a number of players hoping to be a part of the tournament and this years World Cup. It has been a productive few weeks for Manu Tuilagi, the youngest and English qualified of the Tuilagi dynasty, with a number of people predicting he could be an England World Cup player by the end of the year.
The Leicester Director of Rugby won't enter into the debate, (secretly I'd imagine fearing he may lose yet more players to the national cause) the youngster who qualifies for England on residency grounds, and whilst he is short of first team experience but his fan base has been growing game by game. Last weekend he played in his brother Alesana for a try against Exeter the week before he had two tries of his own against Sale in a Man of the Match performance. Martin Johnson and his coaches need to decide whether he is a risk worth taking when they name their Six Nations squad.
Elsewhere this weekend, Exeter will be expecting a backlash from Gloucester after they were beaten by Leeds. It is game on at the bottom after Neil Back and Andy Key's team pulled off victory against Bryan Redpath's team and they will be looking to build on that form at Bath. It piles the pressure on Newcastle who after missing out on even a losing bonus point at Wasps on Sunday are going to have to rely on their home form beginning against Sale on Friday night. With Europe and the LV taking centre stage over the next few weeks teams will be desperate to sign off from the Premiership with a win.

Life is short. Eat dessert first.
A little bit about me: I moved to New York a year ago from Europe for my job. It's been great because I love to travel and this has been an awesome opportunity to see how it is to live somewhere else, speak another language everyday and meet different people. I love New York's energy and the people, but I miss the open roads of back home where I could ride my motorcycle, ride horses, play with my dogs, and, of course, I miss my family and friends. I'm interested in meeting intelligent, well-traveled, independent men who are career-oriented and love finding new adventures. And someone who doesn't take himself too seriously. I'm attracted to confident men who know what they want and go after it. As for me- I'm a very easy going person, but I will tell you what I like and don't like. I'm an independent woman but, sometimes it's nice to step back and let somebody else decide or take over or lend a shoulder to lean on ;) I am looking forward to experiencing new adventures, so if you think you're up for it drop me a line ;)

I'm reading a travel guide while planning my next trip! Recent novels incude Sarah's Key and Faithful Place. When its cold outside I love going to Barnes & Nobles, grabbing a book, a chai tea, and sitting between the aisles and reading.

I take great pride in what I do…but I also try not to take life too seriously! I truly believe life is what you make it and I am fired up about living a great life.

Some of my favorite things: - Spending time with friends and family (laughing mostly). I come from a large immediate family. I have 3 amazing brothers! - Cooking: One of my resolutions this year was to try at least one new food or recipe per week. Total amateur…but I'm learning! - Hike, surf, sail/boat, ski, bike (indoor / outdoor), horseback riding, scuba, etc. As much as I love city culture, nature resets me.) - Travel, Camping, Adventure. I love trying new things and I like to take weekend trips to keep my travel bug at bay. - Wine and whiskey - Music (classic rock, reggae, country, hip hop, folk rock, club / dance, classical, soul (Otis Redding, Al Green)...I like a lot different kinds of music!) - City life: I like to get dressed up for a night on the town! (theater, art, film, fine dining, dancing) What I am looking for: someone who's up for anything (working out together, night out dancing, hiking, night in cooking, etc.) and open to trying new things, passionate about what they do, loves to have fun, honest, respectful, and has a great sense of humor! I appreciate a true gentleman as I'm more of a traditional girl. I'm looking to date and have fun getting to know one another.

At last week's E3 conference in Los Angeles, the spotlight was shared by Microsoft and Sony as both companies finally unveiled their new consoles for the upcoming Christmas season. Much hype has surrounded the release of Microsoft's new Xbox One and Sony's new PS4, respectively, but now it's time to see how the two consoles will truly measure up against each other.
Every day, rapid growth and urbanization increase the exposure of people and assets to earthquakes, floods, storms and other natural hazards... While disasters affect everyone, it is the poor and vulnerable - women, children, the elderly, and those recovering from conflict - who are most exposed. When hazards strike, their homes in fragile and often low-lying environments take the brunt of the impact.

Jacoby Ellsbury holds significant trade value. With Ellsbury just a year away from free agency and center field prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. on the rise, there has been speculation that the Red Sox would shop Ellsbury –– the 2011 American League MVP runner up –– this offseason in exchange for a premier pitcher. Speaking on WEEI radio on Thursday, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino denied any rumors that trade talks about Ellsbury were ongoing. "He's our center fielder, and there have been no discussions with regard to him that I'm aware of," Lucchino said. "You don't know whether someone is going to come to you and make you some kind of proposal but our plan is to have Jacoby Ellsbury as our center fielder this year going forward." Lucchino also touched on the club's change in strategy regarding pursuing free agents. After Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford's deals left them financially strapped –– they have since been traded –– last year, Lucchino said the days of handing out monster deals were over in Boston. "We're not going to get into seven, eight-year deals as we've done before," Lucchino said. "What we have ruled out is the kind of long-term, gigantic commitment to players if at all possible. We are more concerned about years than we are dollars." Whether it affects the team's ability to re-sign Ellsbury down the road is yet to be determined. But as far as Lucchino is concerned, Ellsbury –– who hit .274 with four home runs and 26 RBIs this season –– will start 2013 in Boston's outfield.

It's quite wonderful. The denim bothers me a little bit though. I swear I'm seeing smudge tool in some places. Just to clarify, are you saying you didn't use the smudge tool at all, or that you didn't start with a photo and just smudge it? Not that it's a big deal. I just think if you did use the tool, it didn't help. Still a really nice piece though!

Berkeley Physicist's Climate Findings Score Political if Not Scientific Points

In the world of global finance, Alan Greenspan became an oracle. During his nearly 20 years as chairman of the Federal Reserve, legions strained to parse his sentences and discover deep meaning in his every utterance.
Now, in the world of global climate change, there is Richard A. Muller, a professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley.

Ligny's Lake
A dead man alive at Melbourne's Festival Hall ...a merino-shaped lake ...a stolen copy of Thoreau's Walden ...ASIO's wall of silence ...Sandy Carmichael can pick up the pieces, but to fit the jigsaw together, he needs to risk his life. Ligny's Lake, a thriller that weirdly echoes the disappearance of Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, is another of the Wakefield Crime Classics. The Wakefield Crime Classics series revives forgotten or neglected gems of crime and mystery fiction by Australian authors. Many of the writers have established international reputations but are little known in Australia. 'The Wakefield Crime Classics series is marvellous ...a wonderful collection of writing that should not have been overlooked in this country in the first place.' - Terry O'Connor, Courier Mail

The film deals with actually realistic issues that actually do happen. The performances were fantastic, Richard E.Grant is a brilliant comedian, with the beautiful carrie anne moss playing his wife is an excellent casting choice. And as for 'Dogwatch' comment down there, if it was such a waste of 90 minutes of your life that your not going to get back, why the hell would go bother commenting on this film and wasting yet minutes of your 'life'? You should get a life yourself. A must see film.posted by ML on Nov 22, 2009 03:18:01
I was about to turn it off so many times. Regret I didn´t do it. Stupid storyline and really awful acting. 90 minutes of my life I´m never going to get back.posted by Dogwatch on Nov 15, 2009 04:00:46
This film tries too hard; it jumps between being desperate to please and too pleased with itself. Not funny. Not even on the same continent as funny. Avoid.posted by Reggifan on Nov 15, 2009 03:56:25
