Who holds baby first??
My DH held her while they stitched me, and then he gave her to me :)
Evan 2009
Lorelei 2012
I hadn't even thought about this. I figure they'll hand her to whoever they hand her to. If DH gets her he'll have to give her up shortly for breast feeding anyway. lol
With my son as soon as he came out they put him on my chest. I assume all hospital's do this unless there is a problem. So you technically get to hold the baby first and you should. You carried the baby and suffered through the pregnancy so you should get to be the one to hold it first. It's nice the BF is excited but that is your right.
Proud Mommy to a little prince, and prince to be =)

I'm requesting that my DH hold our son first. He was the one to hold his other 3 children first and I think he takes pride in that. It's cute! I want to make sure he gets to do that again! I have felt baby moving for the last few months, and while he can feel it from the outside, I know it's not the same. This will be special for him and I know will make him happy. And that makes me happy!
It better be me first this time around. I was like the last to hold DS because they took him right out of me in the OR and DH got to hold him. Then they took him to the nursery while I was being glued and stapled back together and my mom and ILs got to see and touch him. I finally held him about an hour or hour and a half later. Grrr.
I think in a normal vaginal delivery they do place baby on mom's chest or belly right away.

My dh held our son cause I had a c-section but if didn't he would have just been propped on my chest after born

I didn't watch this TV series when it originally aired in 2006, and I stumbled across it this weekend, while browsing through Netflix titles. And, remembering it, I decided to watch it, and ended up watching all 13 episodes over the weekend.
It's not often that a major TV network like ABC, airs an action/suspense/drama series, featuring a black man as the central figure. So, I had to check it out, if only to satisfy my curiosity.
And I must say that I actually enjoyed the series, despite all the negative reactions to it.
In short, in Day Break, Taye Diggs starred as Detective Brett Hopper; and let's just say homeboy is having a really bad day - one that keeps repeating, over, and over, and over again, as he works feverishly to uncover a vast political conspiracy, with him at the center of it all.
Accused of killing Asst. DA Alberto Garza, he has an alibi, but no one believes him. When he realizes that he has been framed, he tries to run away but has to stop when he learns that his loved ones are also in danger. But one morning, he wakes up and relives the same day over and over again.
To stop this cycle, solve the mystery and have a normal life, he must find out who framed him.
Caught in this vicious, seemingly never-ending cycle, are his girlfriend Rita Shelten (Moon Bloodgood), her ex-husband and Hopper's ex-partner, Chad Shelten (Adam Baldwin), Hopper's sister, Jennifer Mathis (Meta Golding), Hopper's partner, Andrea Battle (Victoria Pratt), gang leader Damien Ortiz (Ramon Rodriguez), and other co-conspirators - each with their own secrets that are all connected to Detective Hopper's attempts to uncover the truth, free himself, and see tomorrow.
The series' seemingly complex structure, gradually comes together with each successive episode, and I must admit that I was engaged. The first episode didn't immediately hook me, but I decided to stick with it, and see how it all develops.
And I'm glad I did, because it got better with each episode. The audience knows what Hopper knows; as he discovers new truths with each repetition of the same day, we also discover the same truths, and it's almost as if we are all working together to get to the bottom of it all.
There was enough intrigue and suspense to keep me watching from one episode to the next, and the entire production was well put together, from the acting (Taye Diggs as everyman, Joe-cop, caught in a wide, messy web of names, faces, actions, words, trying to link them all together; it took a couple of episodes for me to start believing he was this Fugitive-type tough guy character, likely because I'd never seen him in a role like this prior; but eventually, I bought his performance), to the show's production values, the writing, etc.
It all worked for me. But apparently, it didn't for those who were watching it when it was on the air, because ratings for the series reportedly rapidly declined with each episode, and it was canceled by ABC after only 6 episodes; the remaining episodes were subsequently made available online at ABC.com.
Viewers for the show averaged 6.5 million, which wasn't super, but not shabby either. By comparison, Shonda Rhimes' Scandal averaged around 7 million viewers during its first season. So, would Day Break's 6.5 million be enough to keep it on the air today?
Interestingly, TV One picked up the series, and aired all 13 episodes from March through April, 2008 - including the remaining 7, which had never been seen on television, since ABC canceled the series after 6 episodes, and aired the rest on its website.
The season wrapped up quite nicely, so I don't immediately see what they could've done with a second season, if one was greenlit, had the show been a bigger hit for ABC. The mystery is solved, Detective Hopper's Ground Hog day drama ends, as he eventually wakes up *tomorrow,* and all seems well. There were a couple of loose ends, but I'm not sure there was enough there for another 13-episode season.
However, maybe the creators already had ideas for a season 2, just in case...
But, as I said, I dug it. Nothing mind-blowing, but good enough to hold my interest. It's certainly much better than NBC's stale Undercovers was. Definitely more edge, and, overall, better-written and acted.
Maybe watching it today, after 6 years, makes a difference... I don't know. But I didn't catch it back in 2006, so I can't compare experiences.
If you skipped it, I say give Day Break a look; it's streaming on Netflix right now. And if you did see it - whether only 1 episode, or all 13 - what did you think of it?
Here's a look (I believe this was the intro for episode 7):

eVGA e-GeForce4 Ti 4600 Review
Jonathan Martini - June 11, 2002
While I normally don't use VIVO features, I decided to give it a go this time around.
This forum thread mentions a couple of handy utilities for viewing and/or recording video - VirtualDub and TV Viewer. Here's a shot of my desktop with TV Viewer running. Unfortunately Hypersnap couldn't capture the window properly, so this digital camera shot will have to do.
eVGA has included software to make use of VIVO capabilities by bundling Cyberlink's Power Director Pro 2.0. While it may not be the most intuitive video editing program for a newbie like myself, I eventually managed to become productive with it.
Both the TV Viewer and Power Director Pro 2.0 default to composite. Those using s-video, like I did, will have to locate the option to select the desired input method. I was able to construct a brief video clip (4.2MB) that illustrates a few simple effects like titles and scene transitions. The file is graciously hosted by the folks at our sister site, Envy News. The DivX based movie is composed of three scenes that were cut and spliced together as an example of what a total VIVO newbie can produce in an hour of trial and error ;)
I'm not sure if I'll continue using the VIVO features after its novelty wears off. But so far, it's been very cool keeping tabs on what's happening during the NHL playoffs while I'm busy playing, err..., working on the computer. While VIVO may be a selling point, I'm glad to see that there's no additional cost added to the card for including this feature.

text: The Twilight of the Gods: Chapter Two of River Run wiki last edited by Ahatebrenin on 02/20/14 05:02AM View full history In the second story of River Run, Twilight of the Gods, Swamp Thing now enters a world where Nazi Germany has taken over the world, and Alois Hitler is married to Norma Jean Baker. Using Jewish occult magic, Swamp Thing is summoned as a golem by the American President, who wants to use the elemental to wipe out the world in a mass genocide, rather then have a world that was born out of the extinction of over a dozen races carry on. But, Swamp Thing points out that one genocide can't make up for another, so the President destroys Swamp Thing's body. But, he didn't dispose of it properly, and the true spirit of justice carries out said genocide.

You may not always agree with your wife; that's part of being married and, well, being human. For John and Nicole Grant, their inter-marriage rivalry turned into a hefty fine and resulted in, what Nicole describes it as, a lot of pain.
Back in November when the Bears and Packers played on Monday Night Football, the Grant couple decided to bet on their teams. John is a Bears fan while Nicole repped the Pack. The bet you ask? Well it wasn't money; it was the opportunity to shoot your spouse with a stun gun.
The Bears defeated the Packers 27-20 after Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustained an injury on the first drive. A few hours later, John cashed in on his wager and Tasered his wife.
Nicole called the police and John was taken to Dodge County Circuit Court. Grant pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and he was fined $250, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Nicole called the police after she was stunned twice in the buttocks and once in the thigh area. Nicole claimed to never give John consent to stun her but a video on her phone revealed her laughing and doing just that.
"Hell yeah it hurt," she said in the police complaint.
This has definitely been one of the most shocking Bears-Packers rivalry stories yet.

CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Reds and the City of Goodyear, Arizona have finalized the terms on a binding use agreement that paves the way for the team to move its spring training facilities there in 2010. The agreement includes a 20-year lease and two five-year team options.
Goodyear City Council approved the agreement at tonight's meeting. The ground breaking for the Reds' portion of the facilities they will share with the Cleveland Indians tentatively is scheduled for this fall.
"The proposed facilities in Goodyear are going to be some of the best in baseball," said Reds President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Castellini. "We look forward to a working relationship with the city that will help our team prepare for the start of the Major League season every year."
On January 30, the Reds and the City of Goodyear entered into a 75-day, exclusivity period to negotiate an agreement. On March 12, Goodyear City Council announced it had identified the funding for the project. On April 7, Goodyear City Council unanimously approved the memorandum of understanding that led to the binding use agreement.
The Reds' current lease at the City of Sarasota Sports Complex in Sarasota, Florida expires in October, though the team could remain there through 2011 by exercising three one-year options.
The club, which has trained in Sarasota since 1998, already has exercised the option for Spring 2009. The Reds' plans for their portion of the $108 million Goodyear Ballpark and Recreational Sports Complex include a 40,700-square foot clubhouse, six full practice fields and two half fields.
The Indians' instructional league team will move to Goodyear this fall, while their first Major League camp will be held in the new facility in February 2009.
The main ballpark will seat 10,000 fans, including 500 premium box seats, 8,000 fixed seats and space for 2,000 spectators on a grassy berm in the outfield. It will be the centerpiece of Ballpark Village, a $1 billion mixed-use development featuring offices, shops, restaurants, housing, hotels and a conference center.
Goodyear is located 20 minutes west of downtown Phoenix. In 2007, nine Major League teams trained in the greater Phoenix area and three trained in Tucson. In addition to the Indians, next year the Los Angeles Dodgers are scheduled to move their spring training headquarters to Arizona.

Understanding the Koran: A Quick Christian Guide to the Muslim Holy Bookby Mateen Elass
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Understanding the Koran is a quick, non-technical, popular introduction that shows the essence of what the mysterious Koran is all about and how it differs from the Bible.
Subjects include:
The 1.3 billion Muslims throughout the world believe that the Koran (Qur'an) is the last revealed word of God and the prime source of their faith and practice. They believe it's a record of the exact words that God revealed through the angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad during a 23-year period from AD 610-632.
This "heavenly" book in Arabic consists of 114 surahs (chapters) with 6,239 verses, making it slightly longer than the New Testament. It contains some stories and parables, but primarily consists of lists of commands and prohibitions. Each verse has both a clear meaning and an allegorical meaning. Muslims are expected to read the entire book through during the month of Ramadan.
This quick, nontechnical, popular introduction to the Muslim Holy Book shows the essence of what the Koran is all about and how it differs from the Bible.
What You Should Know about Islam's Holy Book
How is it like the Bible? How is it different? Why is it important?
Muslims believe the Koran exists as a literal book in heaven and was dictated to the prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. It is only the length of the New Testament, yet a fifth of the world claims it is the complete revelation of God. To most Americans, though, the Koran remains a mystery.
Did you know that the Koran teaches the virgin birth and miracle-filled, prophetic ministry of Jesus? Claims to fully embrace his teachings? Reveres Abraham, Moses, Jonah, and other biblical prophets?
Find out how the Koran resembles the Bible--and the drastic ways in which it differs. Understanding the Koran gives you a fascinating essential grasp of Islam's holy book: where it came from, what it teaches, how Muslims view it, and how the Allah of the Koran compares with the God of the Bible.
Cherished as the final, perfect revelation of God's will by 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide, the Koran has become a part of American life. Today, those who read and memorize it may work in your town, shop where you shop, or send their children to the same school your kids attend. What do you know about the holy book that shapes the lives and eternal destinies of your neighbors and a fifth of the world's population?
While some similarities exist between the Koran and the Bible, the differences are striking. Written by a pastor who was born to a Muslim father and raised in Saudi Arabia, Understanding the Koran gives you a fascinating, easy-to-understand overview that will show you:
-Why the background behind the Koran is important
-How the Koran came intoexistence
-A summary of the main teachings of the Koran, including what it says about Jesus and the crucifixion
-Similarities and differences between Muslim and Christian views of God
-What the Koran teaches about Jihad and holy war
-What the Koran teaches about heaven and hell
More than furnishing you with an essential grasp of Islam's holy book, Understanding the Koran points you to the one thing that can draw your Muslim friends to Jesus--his love, demonstrated to them through you. Discussion questions enable you to use this book in group studies
"Understanding the Koran" is a nontechnical, popular introduction that shows the essence of what the mysterious Koran is all about and how it differs from the Bible. This lay-level introduction is designed to help Christians understand the book and the 1.3 billion Muslims who follow it.
A quick non-technical, introduction to the Koran designed to help Christians understand a hidden book revered by 1.3 billion Muslims, covering the background on its writing, a summary of its contents, a perspective on how it's used and viewed by Muslims, a comparison of differences and similarities to the Bible, and some suggestions on how it should and should not be used in conversations with Muslims.

I installed the DIM, and I'm installing system-compatible programs. To be specific I'm trying to install the free Daz Studio 4.6 and some starter essentials on a 32-bit system.
But it wouldn't download so I looked around for reasons for that, and I tried clearing cache and deleting cookies and whatnot.
But still, whenever I start the download it eventually fails. I've cleared cookies and cache twice now. it just doesn't seem to work for some reason!
THe one thing that downloaded was the photoshop bridge, but it says something about how it "requires that the installed path" to "be defined". I tried adding the path to the basic C:/Program Files/DAZ 3D but it's still error-ing?
Connection strength and speed: 21ms, DL 0.82Mbps. I'm pretty sure that's not that terrible.
What am I doing wrong?

The Naval Sea Systems Command has named William J. Deligne as the command's new executive director.
Deligne is currently serving as the executive director for Aircraft Carriers, and he will replace Brian Persons, who departed NAVSEA in December to serve on the staff of deputy chief of naval operations for Warfare Systems (OPNAV N9).
In his new position as NAVSEA's senior civilian executive, Deligne will be responsible for the business management of the NAVSEA headquarters staff and command-wide management of systems and programs. He will advise the NAVSEA commander on corporate planning and management, strategic planning, management resources and program appraisal matters.
Deligne says he's excited about the opportunity to lead a command of NAVSEA's size and scope.
"We're a big part of the Navy," said Deligne. "We have an incredibly important mission. I mean, what is a navy without its ships and combat systems? We lead the development, production, and maintenance of all Navy ships and combat systems, so the "Big Navy" needs us to continue to do that effectively and affordably. In fact, driving a culture of affordability into all that we do will be a key focus area during my tenure as the NAVSEA executive director."
Deligne holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in petroleum engineering from West Virginia University and a Master of Science in Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech. He entered the Senior Executive Service in July 2007 and has served as the deputy program manager for the Future Carrier Programs, the assistant program manager for Nimitz-class aircraft carrier construction, and as a naval architect with NAVSEA's engineering directorate.
NAVSEA, the largest of the Navy's systems commands, is comprised of more than 58,000 civilian and military personnel in 36 activities located across the United States and around the world. Together, these men and women are charged with developing, delivering and maintaining ships and systems on time, on cost for the U.S. Navy.

Is the Vampire Weekend classified ad proof that print is approaching its retro-cool tipping point?
February 16, 2013 | 1:56 pm
By Dan Eldridge
I about wet myself after opening up the February 18 issue of New York magazine, after which I immediately flipped to the often imitated (but never duplicated) Approval Matrix. There it was, right down in the furthest corner of the Brilliant/Lowbrow axis: Liberal-arts rockers Vampire Weekend show their allegiance to print by announcing their new album title in the N.Y. Times classifieds. Don't get me wrong: I realize we're all media-savvy enough to recognize this sort of thing as a clever marketing ploy, and nothing more. But therein lies the basis of my excitement ... and the overarching point of this post. Let me...

Finland has a long tradition in supporting OA in various declarations. However, it is only recently that concrete actions have been taken towards a state where all research data and publications are freely available. The share of OA is increasing. At the moment it is estimated that about 20% of all scientific articles are OA, out of which 12% are green and the remaining constitute of hybrids and publications with an embargo (Björk et al. 2013).In the beginning of 2013 there were 14 universities, 25 polytechnics and circa 316000 students enrolled in Finland. The number of government funded research institutes is close to 17 depending on the definition. According to OpenDOAR there are 14 OA repositories in Finland. DOAJ indexes 40 Finnish OA journals
29 January, 2014: The Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) introduced an Open Access mandate which applies to all written publications published by the NCM from 1 June 2014 onwards. The mandate and its effectiveness is to be evaluated annually by the NCM. In a second step, planned to be initiated during 2014, the Open Access mandate will be further developed and made applicable also to all written publications funded or co-funded by NCM grants or under NCM contracts. It was recommended that all written publications published by the NCM are published with a Creative Commons license, preferably CC-BY or CC-BY SA. This mandate applies to the NCM secretariat, NordForsk, Nordic Innovation, Nordic Energy Research, Nordicom, Nordic School of Public Health, Nordregio, and Nordic Centre for Welfare and Social Issues.
The Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) is a publically funded co-operation between the governments of the Nordic countries (www.norden.org).
Enabling Environment:
FinnOA working group was founded in 2003 to promote the spread of OA. It consists of representative members from university faculty and research staff, scholarly publishers and libraries.The Finnish Council of University Rectors (UNIFI) signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities in 2006. Still at the moment self-archiving is required only by the University of Helsinki and supported by the Universities of Tampere and Jyväskylä. The Rectors' Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (ARENE) signed a statement in 2009 where they agree to self-archive all publication in an institutional repository.
In 2011 the Government Programme promised to make available digital data materials managed by the public sector for research and education purposes in an easily reusable format via information networks. To implement this Programme the Ministry of Education and Culture started a project called TTA where the aim is to create a national OA related science policy and build infrastructure for HEIs. For this the Ministry of Education and Culture buys collaborative data services from state owned CSC - IT Center for Science Ltd. The Academy of Finland is the main funder and recommends publishing in OA journals whenever possible
Potential Barriers:
In general there is a lack of incentive, some legal barriers (related to immaterial rights) and lack of awareness among the research community.
Small scholarly journals are concerned that OA might make publishing in national languages redundant.
The second largest funder TEKES supports a wide distribution of the research results they have funded but does not endorse OA as such.
Major Projects/Initiatives:
Nordic Perspectives on Open Access and Open Science. Seminar in Helsinki, October 15. 2013.
Open Repositories 2014. Conference in Helsinki, from 9.-13. June, 2014.
National and Institutional Level Policies/Mandates:
The Ministry of Education and Culture officially supports OA. A proposal for a national policy is in circulation for comments. The proposal recommends gold or green OA and rejects hybrid. A related funding scheme is also in the making.
Details of Key Organizations:
Overview: The largest funding body in Finland. Their aim is to finance high-quality scientific research, act as a science and science policy expert, and strengthen the position of science and research. The Academy works to contribute to the renewal, diversification and increasing internationalization of Finnish scientific research.
Overview: TEKES is the second largest funding body in Finland. They concentrate in technology and innovation.
Federation of Finnish Learned Societies
Overview: A national co-operative body for learned societies in Finland. It issues statements, launches initiatives and makes recommendations relating to academic research, especially when it serves to promote the interests of 260 member societies. It also supports learned societies in their publishing activities by providing distribution and storage services and consultation.
Overview: FinnOa is constituted by a group of professionals interested in promoting open access to scientific information. These people come mainly from the academia, libraries and data management.
The National Library of Finland
Overview: The National Library of Finland provides centralized repository platform services for 38 organisations, including many of the Finnish universities and universities of applied sciences. It also operates the national FinELib consortium, which acquires electronic resources centrally on behalf of its member organisations.
University of Helsinki
Overview: The oldest and largest university in Finland and a leading player in OA initiatives. The University's digital depository, HELDA, contains full-text materials produced at the University.
CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd
Overview: CSC is a wholly government-owned special task company, which develops and provides IT services for research, teaching, culture and administrative purposes. CSC's main customers are the Ministry of Education and Culture and the organizations coming under it, higher education institutions and research institutes.
Overview: The Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD) is a national resource centre for social science research and teaching. FSD archives, promotes and disseminates digital research data for research, teaching and learning purposes. The archive is funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture and is a separate unit of the University of Tampere.
Ministry of Education and Culture
Overview: Within the Finnish Government, the Ministry of Education and Culture is responsible for developing educational, science, cultural, sport and youth policies and international cooperation in these fields.
Past and Future OA Related Activities:
14-15 August, 2014: 'What is the Status of Open Access to Research Data in the Nordic Countries?' To increase and exchange knowledge about the respective Nordic countries' views on Open Access, NordForsk invited representatives of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the European Commission to a workshop on 14-15 August to discuss Open Access to research data.
Workshop participants were: Hanne-Louise Kirkegaard (Ministry of Higher Education and Science in Denmark), Sami Niinimäki (Ministry of Education and Culture in Finland), Jurki Hakapää (Academy of Finland), Ásdís Jónsdóttir (Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in Iceland), Roar Skålin (Research Council of Norway), Anna Wetterbom (Swedish Research Council), Leif Laaksonen (Research Data Alliance Europe (RDA) Project coordinator, Finland), Tómas Jóhannesson (Icelandic Meteorological Office and the Nordic Centre of Excellence SVALI), Johanna Ekström (Nordic Biobanking and Molecular Resource Infrastructure (BBMRI Nordic)), Gudmund Høst (Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC)), Riita Mustonen (NordForsk), Anni Hellman (European Commission).
The individual countries and the European Commission each reported on how Open Access is being promoted and regulated in their respective countries/areas. Finland has clearly come the furthest, with broad application of the concept of Open Science, which covers free access both to publications and to data in addition to software and methods.
The collaborative OA-JES project followed the adoption of OECD Declaration on Access to Research Data from Public Funding in 2004 and resulted in collaboration and the development of D-space as a repository platform, the development of Open Journals System platform for OA publication and the establishment of FinnOA group as a coordinating body.
One of the key OA issues is the basis for publication subsidies for small scholarly publishers, Finnish language publications and their sustainability within an OA publishing environment.

May is Garden for Wildlife Month! Now is the perfect time to take a look at how your garden fits into the natural ecosystem and whether or not it's helping out the local wildlife.
Full disclosure: I work for National Wildlife Federation. But I believe so strongly that our gardens can fit into the local ecosystem and invite back wildlife forced into ever-shrinking wild areas that I'm not ashamed to make a "shameless" plug.

Eagles add Tapp to defensive line
Updated: March 16, 2010, 8:05 PM ETAssociated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- Looking to bolster their pass rush, the Philadelphia Eagles acquired defensive end Darryl Tapp from Seattle on Tuesday.
The Seahawks got defensive end Chris Clemons and the Eagles' fourth-round choice in next month's draft.
Originally a second-round draft pick by Seattle in 2006, Tapp has 18 sacks, two interceptions, eight forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 65 games. He had four sacks in a game against St. Louis in 2007.
"Darryl is a very intense football ...

Comments about Jos. A. Bank Traveler Washable Wool Herringbone Plain Front Pants:
Smaller fit. Needed 1 size up, but was no longer carried. Looked great. Nice material and the fact that they were washable definitely a plus. Excellent service when i returned the local store.

Excellent pants, be careful on the size
By Denverd0n
from Florida
About Me Career
The pants are well made and the material is very nice. An excellent purchase. My one word of warning is that they are just a tad bit smaller than most pants that I've gotten with the same measurements. Not so small that I cannot wear them, but just a bit more snug. So, if you are debating between two sizes, I would recommend going up.
Comfortable, great looking trousers.
By Cold climate business man

About Me Career, Classic
Great trousers. Wear very well and very comfortable in cooler spring and fall weather. Pattern and color go great with everything in the wardrobe. Dress and dress casual. Recommend.
Service and delivery comments:
Service was exactly as promised. Product arrived in good condition.
Just what I was looking for
By Kerosene
from Minneapolis
I've been looking to replace an old, worn-out pair of steel blue herringbone pants that I bought from Jos. Bank a decade ago. While a bit more grey than I was looking for, the "hand" of these pants is very nice (although not quite as nice as my old stand-by slacks) and the fit is perfect.
Great Pants!
By Mitch
from Baltimore, MD
I have just about every pair of the washable wool trousers. I love them all. I agree the navy are more blue than navy, but they wear great. I got the "Traveler Crease" in all of them and would recommend it with these pants. The really do hold the crease unlike any other pair of pants I own.
A solid performer
By JRD
from Laguna Hills, CA
I have purchased quite a few pairs of these pants over the years. They are of decent quality and will probably last 12-18 months, if worn and washed regularly.It doesn't replace nice wool slacks, but is a step up from cotton trousers with the same level of convenience.Steer clear of the navy because it is actually a bright blue that is very difficult to wear. All of the other colors are okay.
You get what you pay for
By Kidneybean
from Kansas City, MO.
I gave the washable pants a try. Thought it might save some trips to the dry cleaners. Quality is so-so, about what you'd expect for washable wool and the price. The color, however, was not navy. It is blue. Bright blue. I'm too embarassed to where bright blue pants to work. I have worn the brown and they work well for the more "casual" business casual days.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

3 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Famous for its 50% ratings:My Lovely Samsoon is one of those "classic" Kdramas, in my humble opinion. It's a story of how two unlikely couple met, and fell in love with cute, sweet, sad, goofy and plain out silly, laugh out loud bits to balance it out. Samsoon is an old fashion name and therefore unpopular and even considered to be "ugly". She meets Hyun Jin Hun who is a cold, arrogant, rich boy and through certain ...Read more

She says what is on her mind and goes with it. The actress that play, Kim Sam Soon, is Kim Sun Ah. I think she did a great job with this character. The character, Hyun Jin-heon is something else.

The dude, not so much. The whole time I was thinking to myself,
what's up with this wimpy boney guy that everyone just seem to be in love with.
The story line is pretty funny and you can't help but cheer Samsoon on.
My Lovely Samsoon ReviewThis drama really portrays the "Age is nothing but a number'' quote here. This drama is confusing at times but it was worth watching. Sometimes I cried but most of the time I laughed. I am still wondering why they call her fat. She is not fat, she is regular. Sigh I don't understand Koreans. I enjoyed watching this drama though. One of the first dramas I've ever watched.
Suna Kim is so AmazingSuna Kim is more than amazing in this drama,portraying a truly beautiful natural woman. Her physique isn't supermodel but this only makes her all the more attractive.Read more
She plays the part so naturally it feels like you could just watch and listen to her forever.
The male lead is fairly average but serves his purpose well.
The actress portraying his returned girlfriend plays her role nicely as ...
Kim Sam soon is the best characterAll I can say is that I really, really love this drama. Everything from the characters to actors to storyline was fulfilling. Kim Sam soon is a well written character. I wish she was a real person; so would be my best friend. Hands down amazing show!!! Two thumbs way up!
Thoroughly Enjoyable K-Drama!!!My Lovely Samsoon was my introduction to K-Drama and now I'm hooked. This short (16 episode) drama is hilarious, engaging, thoughtful and entertaining. The characters are well developed, and the eye candy in this light-hearted melodrama doesn't hurt either. The K-drama speaks to contemporary issues of age and relationships, morality and relationship integrity made more palatable with the ...Read more
Worth the watch!!!!!This drama is short compared to other series I've watched, but its good. It displays trivial issues couples may face in their relationship including annoying exes that never want to go away despite what's happened. The search for even a reasonable person is hard for some people, but it eventually finds you when surprising circumstances arise. All in all, it was a good drama, but I felt the ...Read more
Loved it! Kim Sam Soon is a winner!Makes you laugh, makes you cry, sometimes at the same time. The funniest drama I've seen in a while and my favorite k-drama. And the pastries! yum. Makes me think of a Korean Bridget Jones Diary, except that Kim Sam Soon is actually talented and has a career she can be proud of.
Great but left me wanting more.I really enjoyed watching this drama but I was a little disappointed with a few things in it. I'm not going to say what because these things will probably spoil it for you. But for the most part, I would watch this more than once. It's worth watching and getting emotionally invested in.

Let us start by saying, we're pretty sure most of the stars attending the 2014 Grammy awards probably already have their ensembles picked out—it's only three days away, after all.
But if by the off chance a few celebs aren't all set, well then, there are a few gowns from the Spring 2014 Couture shows that we think they should consider for Sunday's red carpet.
Starting with the most obvious: This gorgeous Valentino gown with sheet music emblazoned on the skirt. Come on, this dress is basically custom made for the biggest night in music! And who better than Katy Perry—queen of whimsical fashion—to don this number, right?
PHOTOS: Katy Perry's red carpet style
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is likely to go for something with a bit more sparkle. Which is why we wouldn't be surprised if the country crooner showed up in this new creation by Elie Saab. She has often opted for the designer for big events—most recently a red dress from the designer's Fall 2013 Couture collection at the 2014 CMAs. So we're betting on a nude or champagne color this time around. But then again, she is nominated for her album titled "Red."
PHOTOS: Taylor Swift's best fashion moments
Gowns aside, there were also plenty of fun and flirty above-the-knee dresses at Giambattista Valli's show. If Ariana Grande wants to step up her fashion game in a major way, without losing her youthful style, she could chose this hot pink mini by the Italian designer.
NEWS: Grammys 2014: The complete list of nominees
Last but certainly not least, everyone is buzzing about the couture sneakers worn by models—including Cara Delevingne—at the Chanel show. And while we're pretty confident half of Hollywood will be rocking the kicks in the coming months, we'd venture that Rihanna will be first to step out in the trainers. Perhaps to a post-Grammy after-party?
What do you think celebs will wear at the 2014 Grammy Awards?

Gem Proof 1859 Seated Dollar1859 $1 PR65 NGC. This proof Silver Dollar issue is among our favorites. So little is known about the die combination of this date, and the scarcity of survivors presents quite a challenge to even the most dedicated researcher. Based on our findings, there seems to be only one obverse die for this issue, and it is easily identifiable by repunching on the base of the 1 in the date. The reverse die that the Mint used to strike this particularly coin displays remnants of an inner circle at the denticles above the UNI in UNITED. An originally preserved Gem, both sides are awash in lavender-charcoal hues with blushes of cobalt-blue tinting toward and around many of the peripheral devices. There are no areas of bothersome striking incompleteness, and distracting handling marks are also conspicuous by their absence. Pedigree concerns compel us to mention a well concealed planchet flaw (as struck) in the left reverse field that has toned a little darker than the other surface areas. Although Mint records record an original mintage of 800 pieces for the proof 1859 Seated Dollar, fewer than 450 examples are believed to have been sold. The balance of the production run was melted at year's end.(#7002)(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 252D, PCGS# 7002)

13. How to True a Wheel
Aspects of wheel truing covered include radial, lateral, centering (or dishing) and spoke tension.
Aspects of wheel truing covered include radial, lateral, centering (or dishing) and spoke tension.
Wheel truing is a delicate procedure that requires time and patience. In this tutorial I'll try and demonstrate the many aspects as clearly as possible. Ideally you'll want to have a wheel truing stand, good lighting and a comfortable workspace.
If you don't have a truing stand, lateral, or side to side adjustments can be done using your brake pads as a guide. If truing the wheel on your bike, be sure to deflate the tire before you begin. For radial, or up and down adjustments, you can use an L-square as a guide by attaching it to your fork or frame.
It is very important to use the correct size spoke wrench to avoid stripping the spoke nipples.
Before you begin, carefully inspect your wheel for any bent or broken spokes. Make sure your hub bearings don't have any play and then carefully squeeze a drop of light oil into all of your spoke holes.
Spoke nipples have a regular right-hand thread, but that while you're truing a wheel, you will be looking at the nipple upside-down, so you have to turn the spoke wrench clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise to tighten.
Make sure the spoke doesn't turn with the nipple, which will cause it to twist and break. If it does turn, apply some light oil to the nipple threads and try again.
If a spoke does break while you're truing, it'll shoot out the spoke hole with great force, so be careful not to place your face in line with the rim. Safety glasses are highly recommended.
To check radial alignment, place the guide near the highest point on the outer edge of your rim. Find the high spots in your rim by spinning the wheel and correct them by tightening both left and right side spokes evenly. Correct any low spots by equally loosening the spokes in the effected area.
Tighten or loosen spokes in 1/4 turn increments. For example, if the effected area spans the length of four spokes, tighten all four spokes 1/4 turn, and then tighten the middle two spokes another 1/4 turn. Then re-check the radial alignment and repeat the process as needed.
To check lateral adjustment, place the guide close to the rim sidewall and look for high spots on either side. To correct a left or right high spot, tighten the spoke that leads to the opposing hub flange and equally loosen the spoke that leads to the hub flange on the same side as the high spot.
Just like radial adjustments, tighten or loosen the spokes in 1/4 increments. Again if the effected area spans four spokes, loosen and tighten all four spokes 1/4 turn, and then loosen and tighten the middle two spokes another 1/4 turn.
Re-check the lateral alignment and re-adjust as needed. Remember that on the rear wheel, the right side spokes have a lesser angle and effect lateral movement less than the left. The left side spokes have greater angle and effect radial alignment less than right. To compensate for this difference, the right side spokes should be adjusted two turns for every turn on left.
Rims should be exactly centered between the axle nuts. To check this you can use either a dishing tool, or your frame to check the measurement on each side.
If the rim is off-center, pull it in either direction by equally tightening all of the spokes on one side 1/4 turn, and loosening all of the spokes on the other. Then check the alignment again and repeat the process until the rim is centered.
To check spoke tension, pluck each spoke in the middle and listen to the sound. On the front wheel, all of the spokes should sound the same on both sides. On the rear wheel, each side should sound slightly different, but the spokes on each side should sound the same as each other.
Most people don't have a spoke tensiometer, so it's a good idea to compare the sound of your spokes to the sound of a wheel that you already know has proper tension. Remember that spoke changes effect the whole wheel, so you might have to repeat these steps several times before it is true.
After the wheel is true you should always pre-stress the spokes and re-adjust before riding. Failure to do this could cause broken spokes later. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to squeeze together the parellel spokes on both sides of the wheel. The second method involves resting the wheel sideways on the floor and gently pushing down on both sides of the rim, all the way around the wheel in 1/8 increments.
After pre-stressing the spokes you will usually have to re-check and make some minor adjustments. If after stressing the wheel you notice that your rim is severly warped, it means that your spoke tension is too high. Loosen all of the spokes 1/2 turn and re-true the wheel.
Hi guys
Can anyone tell me how to choose the correct rim tape width for my wheel/rim? My wheel has an inside rim width of approx. 19mm. Would an 18mm wide rim tape thus be the ideal size for my wheel?

|I want to buy a electric conversion kit for my bike but the smallest rear wheel that they supply is a 26"
rim. I asked if they can supply a 20" rim with spokes and the fella said he just sells them he dose not know if that is possible. If I do buy the 26" rear wheel can I change the rim and spokes for a 20" one?
and what size spokes would I need?
I need to replace the axle on Ritchey hub that is part of a set of Pro DS wheels. Based on the hub ID document http://ritcheylogic.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Ritchey-HUB-ID-Sheet-20140121.pdf, I believe that it is V4 or V5 hub. It doesn't precisely match any of the pictures. It has a Shimano-compatible freehub.

G'day all,
Probably a dumb question but here goes anyway
I have a rear wheel from a 1940's bike I'm rebuilding that has a 40 hole coaster brake hub, but the rim is rusted out. I want to know if it is possible to re-fit this hub into a 36 hole rim (I guess leaving 2 holes empty on each side). I would like to re-use this hub if possible but have no 40 hole rims. Any advice/opinions would be great! (I'll probably try it anyway just to see what happens...!!)
Cheers!... Read more >>

Hey guys,
Have a set of MTB wheels that the rims(aluminum) have some corrosion around where the spokes fasten(nipples). It has a chalky white residue that seems to creep under the existing paint and makes the paint peel off.
What is the best way to clean them up and get them ready for a couple coats of paint?

I'll preface this by saying I know very little about bike maintenance.
I recently bought a new bike, Vilano's generic, entry level 21 speed. I'd hoped to find a good deal on a used bike on Craigslist, but quickly realized I didn't have the bike knowledge to do that. The Vilano had good reviews for my price range, but I realize that, to an extent, you get what you pay for, too.
I got the bike yesterday and started to do some prep maintenance. I know I could've had a bike shop do everything for a reasonable price, but I like figuring stuff out and doing my own maintenan... Read more >>
Is the rear wheel on a bike properly dished if the rim is equally distant from the frame?
