The right tool for the job
For more than three decades, Child Care Resources, Inc. (CCRI) has supported Charlotte-area families by enhancing children's early childhood and school-age learning services, building family-friendly workplaces and connecting the community to children. One way CCRI helps achieve this pursuit is by providing training opportunities for early childhood professionals. To do this well, CCRI requires a registration system that enables childcare professionals to easily sign up and pay for trainings. MORE
An easier signup process becomes the BMOC
With more than 41,000 students enrolled at its eight campuses, Kent State University is the second largest university in Ohio. It has more than 4,000 faculty and staff. The Education & Training arm of Kent's Human Resources Division keeps employees current via a variety of classes, such as tips on using specific software programs, how to improve supervisory skills, and orientations for new employees.

Four hours per registrant isn't always time well spent
Miller Electric Welding Automation provides a number of training programs to a variety of manufacturing end users and welding distributors. Each of its business units offer programs for specific welding equipment. Its Manufacturing Industries Group faced a particular challenge of registering and tracking customers from all over the U.S. for highly technical welding equipment and the corresponding training. Managing the phone calls and paperwork became a full-time job.
That job fell upon Customer Service Manager Kevin Summers, who estimated that he was spending up to four hours per registration, from the initial contact through the final collection of fees. MORE
Eliminating all-nighters with ABC Signup
Blessed Kateri is a vibrant parish north of Los Angeles that signs up thousands of children annually for religious education classes. Classes are in such high demand that, in years past, parents camped on the church's sidewalks the night before signups opened. The process was also a strain on registrars; it required paid staff plus 14 volunteers. "It would take us over three months to input all of the registration information into our software data system," said Bobby Vidal, the parish's director of evangelization and lay formation. MORE
Secure with ABC Signup
Drake University Extension Education, which provides distance learning courses for educators across the country, had a homegrown online registration system in 2009 that was showing its age. Though "online," the system required a lot of manual entry by Drake staff once registrations were received. Extension Education Director Chuck Sengstock sought a more secure process, one that provided more flexibility to expand course offerings, and also one that could easily work with Banner, the university-wide enrollment management system. MORE
Professional system pays dividends
The Diocese of New Jersey encompasses 155 congregations, 375 clergy and 50,000 members. It sponsors numerous events each year, from workshops and spiritual retreats to its annual convention. The number of participants ranges from a dozen to 800, with most events supporting 100 or fewer registrants.
Prior to ABC Signup, the Diocese tried to manage registrations for these programs through several departments with incongruent "manual" processes involving paper mailings, payments by check, phone calls, spreadsheets and so on. It was a haphazard system that was neither convenient nor effective, says Canon Kep Short, the Diocese's Director of Youth Ministry. MORE
'By hand' can be a handful
As registration stories go, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry's probably sounds somewhat familiar to many ABC Signup customers.
Each year, the school offers 40 to 50 continuing education courses and events to dental school graduates and practicing dentists. Up until 2007, however, the registration and administration of these courses was done mostly "by hand," according to Treena Guy, UDMSD's continuing education manager. MORE

Breast reduction surgery removes some of the tissue and skin from the breasts. This reshapes and lifts the breasts and reduces their size. It can also make the areola (the colored area around the nipple) smaller.
To remove tissue and skin from the breast, the surgeon first makes one or more cuts in the breast. After the excess tissue and skin have been removed, the skin is closed with stitches. Sometimes the nipple and areola need to be removed and repositioned.

painter IX is great in my opinion, the sheer number of brushes is amazing. plus it costs less than photoshop.
im not pro tho, so i dont know which program is better if u really know how to use it.
December 18th, 2004 #3
Painter or Photoshop. Painter is better at emulating traditional painting and Photoshop is better at image editing/enhancing. Search for digital art galleries and find out what program they used, it might give u a better persp.
December 18th, 2004 #4
Test artrage before deciding if you want one of the expensive programs. If you then get sold on digital painting then you could get one of the expensive. Artrage is free and advance enough to get you the distance without trillions of brushes and stuff that you wont use in the beginning anyway click link to get itclick on me I'm the link In the link you may download and also look at stuff people painted and get some tutorials.
Oh and most people here says learn to draw using traditional media before buying a digital painting application or else it will hinder your progress.
Best of luck

Well programs vary a little bit in what they offer, it all comes down to individual preference, however if I were to only get one industrial strength art program it would be Photoshop.
But don't be limited by your tools.... that is just a mindset. The art will flow whether or not you have the latest and greatest program.

If you are serious about digital painting, and do not yet own a tablet, get a Wacom tablet for Xmas. Wacom is typically bundled with entry level versions of Corel Painter (Classic or Essential) and Adobe Photoshop (Element) so you can get acquainted with these 2 great programs. You can accomplished a lot with the entry level programs already. As your skill/aspiration outgrows these programs, you can then upgrade to the full version.
If you can afford it, get the Wacom Intuos 3. Otherwise get the Wacom Graphire 3.
Good luck.

photoshop is better at doing a whole range of tasks really......whereas painter is really just a paint program.......depends on what you want out of the program....
and as already mentioned.....a tablet is almost essential if you want to digitally paint....
December 21st, 2004 #8
Painter 6 because I can rotate (read "spin like a maniac") my canvas like a real sheet of paper. and Photoshop 7 for finishes / adjustments if any needed.
December 21st, 2004 #9
Adobe Photoshop is an excellent program for plenty of your digital art needs, but it's expensive. If you have the money, however, it's well worth the investment.

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
In December 2009, President Obama famously criticized what he called "a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street." He continued:
"The people on Wall Street still don't get it. They don't get it. They're still puzzled why [it is] that people are mad at the banks. Well, let's see. You guys are drawing down $10, $20 million bonuses after America went through the worst economic year that it's gone through in decades, and you guys caused the problem… Why do you think people might be a little frustrated?"1
In KPMG International's recent paper Moving on – The scope for better regulation2 we suggest that we have reached a tipping point where the cost of new regulation is beginning to outweigh the benefits. We argue that all stakeholders – the industry, investors, consumers and regulators – need to re-assess where they are going and whether greater balance is required. If the industry wants other stakeholders to engage, it needs to be very clear in demonstrating that it "gets it". Further progress is needed by the industry to meet its side of the bargain. The truth is that nearly five years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the world in which financial services must operate has changed radically. Financial services professionals will never see a return to pre-crisis conditions in the remainder of their working lives. So it is worth revisiting the question. Has the financial services industry learnt its lesson? Or do they still not get it?
There are many positive indications that senior bankers have understood how profoundly the environment has changed, and that there are fundamental implications for their business models. But many junior management, and the other segments of financial services – insurance and investment management – continue to act as if the crisis has no direct business implications for them. Of course they complain about new regulation – sometimes quite rightly – but in the context of the macro-objectives of stability, interconnectivity, customer trust and protection there seems a sense of denial about how society's demands on the financial services industry have changed. So in broad terms the answer is probably: no, on balance, many still don't get it. To some extent, the different responses of banks and the rest of financial services are understandable. Banks were at the center of the crisis, and in the main it is banks which have gone bankrupt or had to be bailed out by taxpayers. So they are more likely to appreciate the scale of the change now occurring. By contrast, the insurance industry has been fighting a defensive battle to avoid being subject to restrictive new regulation. Some asset managers have argued forcibly that far from sharing responsibility for the crisis, they were the 'good guys', providing liquidity to the market and helping the price discovery process. However, this differentiation within financial services is increasingly untenable. Virtually all of the fundamental forces reshaping the industry today apply to all sectors. The world is going to be as different for insurers and asset managers as it is for bankers. There is no going back for any of them. Those who hope for a return to 'business as usual' in its earlier form are likely to be disappointed. The question is why?
There is a political imperative to be seen to be doing something, regardless of specific rationales and whether regulatory change will objectively increase stability and reduce risk. Since the G20 took the lead in orchestrating the response to the crisis, the appearance of action has been in some ways as important as actual action. In some cases, action may have been ineffective or even inconsistent: an unfortunate side effect of regulatory competition between jurisdictions in an environment of continued economic stagnation is increasing domestic protectionism which, if it becomes excessive, will both increase costs and reduce stability.
Regulators have to turn political direction into action. There is a serious concern as to whether the intensive level of political scrutiny is actually making the process slower, less optimal and inefficient – but this is a wider debate. Across the globe regulators are pursuing a number of core themes which will eventually have profound implications for all financial services firms, including:
Consumer confidence in the financial industry has been seriously damaged. Survey after survey shows distrust, verging on hostility, directed at the whole of the financial services sector. We all struggle to appreciate how far and how deep this distrust extends. Bankers are perceived as stifling the economy through excessive deleveraging; insurers are piling on premium increases while doing everything they can to avoid paying legitimate claims; investment managers continue taking fees while delivering negative real returns. The press line is that all involved are seen to be more concerned with lining their own pockets than with serving customers fairly. Not fair necessarily – but we all know that perception is often the best test of reality. Rebuilding trust will take many years, and requires genuine and fundamental culture change, not just lip service being paid to new orthodoxies. The challenge will be even greater as long as economic recovery remains subdued, and while consumers continue to suffer real declines in income, wealth and future expectations. Change is a long-term program. The Salz Review of Barclays' business practices emphasized this point: "It will take time before it is clear that sustainable change is being achieved… It will take time to change mind-sets and [this] will need to be led clearly from the top. It involves two-way communications, both internally with all staff, management and the Board, and externally with all stakeholders – including, importantly, regulators. It involves better listening."3 Many good initiatives are underway already, but these will take years, rather than months, to turn consumer perceptions and trust around.
The nature of the industry itself is changing rapidly, blurring the traditional distinctions between sectors. There is much more interconnectivity, especially in the retail market, with products and services being marketed in integrated packages combining, say, banking and insurance or insurance and wealth management. The business model of life companies is moving closer to asset management. The large multinational companies are offering one-stop services, and increasingly looking to cross-sell as a route to increased volumes and profits. New entrants into mature markets will break down the traditional boundaries further. In addition, markets and exchanges are increasingly interconnected. Custodian banks provide services such as safekeeping, compliance reporting and administration to the whole spectrum of banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, hedge funds and pension funds. Institutions of all kinds take advantage of the reinsurance market to manage risk. Financial infrastructure such as payments systems and clearing tie together all kinds of institutions. Third party service providers and outsourcing companies underpin the industry on a global scale. Despite patchy economic performance in a number of regions, the globalization of financial services continues as it did before the crisis, despite the fact that regulators are becoming increasingly "localized" in their outlook. But it is the external context which has changed most fundamentally, in relation to politics, regulation and to public and consumer perception. All of the trends driving change here apply across the board, and investment managers and insurers need to understand and respond to them as much as bankers do. There seems little doubt that risk transfer and inter-connectivity across the wider financial services sector means that a serious issue in one segment will impact on the wider industry.
It is difficult to measure whether finance professionals as a body realize that society's expectations of their business activities in the future have changed. The crisis has crystallized a vague unease at the perceived excesses of the industry into a clear determination that financial services will play a fundamentally different role in future, more akin to that of a utility than to a dynamic, high growth, high profit industry. Of course there will be niche players who will continue to operate in the margins, but core financial services and large players will continue to be in the spotlight. There will be no return to the 'good old days', whether for insurers, asset managers or bankers. Those firms that still don't get it will, at worse, fail and at best see their reputations with regulators and consumers damaged with the obvious consequences. If the industry does not play its part, the change in direction of regulatory policy we argue for in Moving On will not be possible, as the other stakeholders will continue to throw down the accusation of "they just don't get it".

DescriptionJust past the top of the Town Lift, pick up the well-signed Jenni's trail to the right. Duck into the trees to start this gentle romp on wide, smooth switchbacks that cross numerous ski runs. The grade is so gradual, you'll hardly realize you're going downhill.
Enjoy the abundant wildflowers and shady aspen groves, but keep a sharp lookout... this is a multi-use trail popular with ascending/descending hikers and bikers.
This one is appropriate for new bikers making the transition between green and blue trails. Don't be discouraged by the short uphill middle section of Jenni's, it's non-technical and easily conquered.
SPECIAL NOTE: Although the paper maps show Jenni's continuing all the way to the base of the ski area, it's closed to downhill biking below the junction of Jenni's and Crescent Mine Grade (uphill biking is OK). A large sign at the 4-way junction explains that downhill bikers must take the sharp right hairpin onto Crescent Mine Grade to get to the bottom.

I am retired and realized I knew very little about my family history. I started researching and got addicted. I found that Find a Grave was a great source for locating lost family members. I have posted many that are not immediate family and will gladly transfer to family members who can fill in or correct better than me. Much Data is just from stones and realize there can be many mistakes. Will make corrections and links when requested. I am no whis so patience is a virtue.

RE: William F. Beckett
Daniel, I have no idea if he was or not. I have only within the past few days found any information on him. He was the one brother I knew nothing about. Now I have one wife and a grave location and still have some census info to look at on Ancestry.
Now, if I could find out when William's brother James, my great grandfather, died and where he's buried I'd be over the moon with joy!
Thank you for your speedy response. If I do find evidence of the other wife, I will let you know.

Green Pepper Beef
21 Oct 2009
|Top round steak
|2 Pound
|Yellow onion
|2 Tablespoon, finely chopped
|Green pepper
|3 Tablespoon
|Soy sauce
|1 Tablespoon (Chinese)
|Heavy cream
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Plain yogurt
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
|3 Tablespoon (For Frying)
1. Chop the green pepper coarsely and mix with the onion. Pat in the mixture on both sides of the beef.
2. Heat a frying pan; add the butter and let it turn brown. Put in the beef and fry on high heat for 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and how well done the beef is desired. A good rule is to turn the beef slice when meat juice appears on the top side. When meat juice starts showing on the fried side the beef is ready and rosy inside.
3. Place the beef on a hot serving dish and salt lightly. Pour the soy and the cream in the frying pan and reduce by boiling for a few minutes until the sauce starts thickening. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the yogurt. Season with salt and a few drops of fresh lemon juice.

YIELD: Makes about 16 dumplings, 5 to 6 servings
1. In a food processor or blender, or with an electric mixer, combine the cheeses, onion, and salt. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Beat in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir in enough of the semolina to produce a firm dough. (Getting the moisture level right so that the batter holds together in your hand is the tricky part.) Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. (The semolina absorbs moisture from the batter and firms it.)
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Using 2 moistened soup spoons or your hands moistened with water, form the batter into 1 1/2-inch balls.
3. Drop the dumplings in the water in batches and stir gently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until they expand and rise to the surface, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Serve warm. To keep warm or reheat, place in a 200°F oven.
Austrian Jam-Filled Cheese Dumplings (Gefulte Topfenknodel)
In the dumpling batter, omit the onion and add 3 to 5 tablespoons sugar and, if desired, 1 to 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest. Press a deep indentation into the cheese balls, fill with about 1/4 teaspoon lekvar (prune butter) or other jam (about 1/4 cup total), and press the dough around the filling to enclose. Cook as above. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, cinnamon sugar, or jam.
Romanian Cheese-Cornmeal Dumplings (Papanush):
Omit the onion and substitute 1/2 to 3/4 cup fine-grind yellow cornmeal for the semolina.

Scales & Bond Join Noble's No Importance Revival
Editorial Staff • West End • 26 Jun 2003
In A Woman of No Importance, the upper classes have gathered for a weekend house party at Lady Hunstanton's (Scales) country estate. The devilishly attractive Lord Illingworth (Graves) is free to flaunt his seduction skills while the ladies, including young Hester Worsley (Stirling) must hide their desires. When it's announced that Gerald Arbuthnot has been appointed as Illingworth's secretary, his mother's (Bond) scandalous secret threatens to upset her son's success.
Prunella Scales' (pictured) many notable stage productions include: in the West End, The Birthday Party, Just the Three of Us and An Evening with Queen Victoria; at the Royal Court, The Editing Process and Some Singing Blood; and at the National, Single Spies, School for Scandal and Long Day's Journey into Night. Most recently, she's appeared in touring productions of The Cherry Orchard and The External, the UK premiere of Too Far to Walk at the King's Head and the multi award-winning West End revival of Peter Nichols' A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.
Best known as John Cleese's wife Sybil in the classic sitcom Fawlty Towers, Scales has also appeared on screen in Mad Cows, Stiff Upper Lips, An Awfully Big Adventure, Howard's End, The Boys from Brazil, Silent Witness, Keeping Mum, The Rector's Wife, Mapp and Lucia and Marriage Lines - as well as the long-running Tesco adverts in which she plays Jane Horrocks' mum.
Earlier this year, Samantha Bond was nominated for a Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Award for playing Lady Macbeth to Sean Bean's Macbeth in the West End. Her other stage credits have included The Vagina Monologues, Dinner with Friends, The Memory of Water and playing the title role, opposite Dame Judi Dench, in David Hare's Amy's View at the National, in the West End and on Broadway. On screen, she's best recognised as playing Miss Moneypenny in various James Bond films.
Currently playing at the Haymarket is the revival of Ibsen's Brand, Noble's swansong production as artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which opened on 4 June 2003, following previews and a run in Stratford. Starring Ralph Fiennes, it continues to 30 August 2003.

A drug dealer who had been to prison for his conviction has been released into a locked-down treatment facility.
Former Norwalk resident Stoney R. Lester, 53, has been accepted into a community-based corrections facility (CBCF). Defendants spend four to six months in a CBCF, a form of prison which focuses on substance abuse and education.
"I want to thank you for the opportunity," Lester told Huron County Common Pleas Judge Jim Conway during Monday's hearing.
The defendant was on the risk reduction program, meaning he could be released after serving 80 percent of his sentence and once he completed the substance abuse program in prison.
A child was present during the Sept. 22, 2010 incident when Lester sold 40 grams of Opana to a confidential informant at his home, authorities said. The age of the child and Lester's relationship to the child are unknown.
After a lengthy investigation by the Norwalk Police Department, the special response team arrested Lester without incident. Officers used a search warrant to seize evidence related to the sale of prescription medication, specifically Opana and Percocet.
"The defendant has an extensive criminal record going back many years, covering three states," Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Richard Woodruff earlier told the judge.
In mid-March, Lester pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in oxymorphone in exchange for the state dismissing a similar charge. Two months later, Conway sentenced him to 18 months in prison.
Lester will be on three years of post-release control. He must reimburse Norwalk police $40 for the cost of drug testing.

It's impossible to make it big as a Membership Coordinators in the United States; the average employee scrapes together only around $36K per year. Residence and experience level each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. The majority of Membership Coordinators claim high levels of job satisfaction. A large number enjoy medical while a majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to about one-half. The vast majority (84 percent) of Membership Coordinators who took the survey are female. Figures cited in this summary are based on replies to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

There are many types of organizations that operate on a membership model, such as unions, fitness clubs, and country clubs. Without a stable base of active members and a steady influx of new members, it is often difficult for such organizations to function. Membership coordinators supervise new member recruitment, help ensure existing members are satisfied, and address members' concerns to make sure their experience as members is profitable to all interested parties. The membership coordinator works to organize membership expansion through means such as advertising and recruitment drives. They also meet with existing members to help maintain their satisfaction with the organization. Additionally, they are often responsible for maintaining paperwork, finances, and other duties relevant to membership.Read More...
Acting as a liaison between potential/existing members and the organization, the membership coordinator must be a highly organized individual with excellent communications skills. They should possess the creativity and analytical talent to effectively coordinate membership drives, as well as good organizational skills. The membership coordinator generally works in an office environment, but their duties may require them to travel in direct support of recruitment drives and/or to meet with clients such as advertisers.
The educational requirements for the position may vary widely by employer and position. Educational experience in business management or related fields is often preferred, but some employers may be satisfied with sufficient experience in relevant fields such as sales or recruiting.
Membership Coordinators typically list a handful of skills they use on the job. Most notably, skills in Database Management & Reporting, Customer Relationship Management, Customer Service, and Database Management are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Sales. Most people skilled in Customer Relationship Management are similarly competent in Database Management and Database Management & Reporting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Membership Coordinators with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $34K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $37K. On average, Membership Coordinators make $39K following one to two decades on the job. After two decades in the workforce, the average Membership Coordinator generally earns more than ever; median pay for this group is estimated at $42K.
For those looking to make money, Membership Coordinators in San Francisco enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 27 percent above the national average. Membership Coordinators will also find cushy salaries in New York (+19 percent) and Washington (+18 percent). Membership Coordinators in San Diego earn salaries far below the national average by 23 percent, proving that geography overwhelmingly affects the pay scale for those in this field. Two other places where employers offer below-median salaries are Houston (11 percent less) and Denver (5 percent less).

Thanks to Pap tests, fatal cervical cancers are almost unknown today in rich countries. But the disease kills an estimated 275,000 women a year in poor countries where Pap tests are impractical and the vaccine is far too expensive for the average woman to afford, so the price cut could lead to a significant advance in women's health.

Brain surgery may be considered when drugs
fails to control symptoms of
Parkinson's disease or cause severe or disabling side
Surgery is not a cure for Parkinson's disease. Drugs are usually still
needed after surgery. But surgery can reduce the number and amount of drugs
needed to control symptoms. This reduces the side effects caused by drugs while
at the same time controlling symptoms.
Neurotransplantation is an experimental procedure being studied for the treatment of
Parkinson's disease. It involves implanting cells that produce dopamine into
the brain. Information about the effectiveness of neurotransplantation is
limited. And it is not a proven treatment or a realistic option for most people
at this time.
A neurologist with special
training in Parkinson's disease is most often the best kind of doctor to make a
decision about surgery. If you might benefit from surgery or deep brain
stimulation, your neurologist can refer you to a brain surgeon with experience
doing these operations.
People who have
extremely advanced Parkinson's or who have other serious conditions (such as
heart or lung disease, cancer, or kidney failure) are not usually good
candidates for surgery. Surgery is usually not considered for people who have
dementia or psychiatric disorders.

Conquer the heat.
As the name implies, Castelli's Inferno Bib Shorts were created for rides when the summer wind blows in heat-related agony on par with that suffered by Dante's blasphemers. Whether you're riding in the seventh circle of hell or in the French alps during the seventh month of the calendar year, you'll appreciate the Infernos' Virgil-esque ability to safely pilot you through the extremes of summer.
The most obvious construction elements designed toward this end are the panels, apparently mesh, on the outer thighs. We say "apparently," because what appears to be a simple mesh is actually a non-transparent, perforated panel with radically increased breathability and a hydrophobic structure that refuses to absorb moisture. It's also been made lighter for 2015, but compression doesn't suffer to considerations of weight, as these panels boast an out-sized fiber weight that gives the Infernos the kind of comfortable compression we expect from racing shorts.
The shorts' front and rear panels maintain this focus on compression, further reducing the fatigue-causing impact of micro-oscillations and road noise. Castelli boosts the compressive element yet again with an additional fabric panel over either thigh. The rib knit construction of these thigh panels adds targeted compression that doesn't hamper breathability.
As for fit, the Inferno is a racing thoroughbred. It's slim, precise, and deliberate — hardly surprising, given that it was developed directly with the Cannondale-Garmin squad. The multi-panel cut of the bib shorts follows a contour in order to mimic and support the movements of cycling without bunching or pinching. In the interest of maintaining breathability, Castelli opts for pure mesh in the straps instead of the Carré material found in its other high-end bibs. The leg bands get the full premium treatment, though, with Castelli's newly updated Giro Air bands. They're single-layer, perfectly flat, compressive without pinching, and wide, making them among our favorite cycling innovations since the derailleur.
Castelli found itself unwilling to part with the Progetto X2 Air Seat Pad, so it returns with only one, minor change: its surface is softer, which means it now presents a more gentle face to your perineum. It retains its bacteriostatic properties, seamless construction, four-way stretch, and ventilating, perforated foam layer. The perforated viscous comfort inserts also enjoy an encore performance, so your sensitive areas will enjoy riding over all manner of terrain.
The Inferno is lightweight enough to protect you from heat, but that also means that it won't protect you from UV rays. Because of this, Castelli recommends using sunscreen underneath the shorts. After an uncomfortable post-ride shower, we agree.

Run small and don't keep the sun out
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Height: 6' 2"Weight: 180 lbsSize Purchased: L
Without actually riding in these, they look good and look like good quality. The chamois feels good and contains decent padding. Unfortunately they run a bit small so I had to return mine. And then I found out that Castelli recommends putting sun lotion underneath them, so I just switched to a different brand -- I do a lot of long rides on the weekend and there was no way I was going to want or remember to put lotion on before putting the bibs on.
Great fit for me
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Tried the Body Paint bibs and the straps and legs were too small - even in XL. The Infernos are great in XL, almost disappear - in a good way (the L's were too tight in the legs and straps too short, which seems to be common to Castelli for me). I am 6'-0" and weigh between 175-180, generally wear a L bib in Pearl Izumi or Garneau brands. So you may need to size up.

Forgotten painting finished
Posted Sat, 24th Mar '12 at 12:20am by Dice
I finished most of it last night, I stopped at just before 2am and then painted a few more minutes in the morning. The painting is done and I'm still trying to figure out what it means. It's like interpreting a dream.
