BASF starts production of styrene acrylic, styrene butadiene paper binders in Finland

BASF has started production of cost-efficient binders (CEB) based on styrene acrylics and styrene butadiene at its site at Hamina, Finland, the company has announced.

Do some Good…get some Awesome. Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project in Toronto
Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project made it's way back to Ontario in August. First stop was Trinity Bellwoods Park and then Humber Bay Park in Toronto.
These were the final two Red Leaf Project events planned this year…. but then many volunteers and our facebook fans told us that they want more! So keep an eye out this September for more Red Leaf Project events in partnership with the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean up.
Thank you for supporting this program Canada, and for doing your part to help make this awesome land even better Cheers!
Trinity Bellwoods Park Volunteers restored and cleaned up the park, distributing mulch to an area of dry, compacted soil. This improves the quality of the soil, provides fertilizer for trees, helps to retain moisture and prevents weeds from growing.
They also removed two garbage bags of litter and 50 yard waste bags of the invasive plant species Burdock, which out-competes native plants for sunlight and water, and grows thistles.
Humber Bay Park Evergreen and the Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project wrapped up an awesome summer of park restoration projects at Humber Bay Park West. Volunteers removed invasive plant species, and distributed mulch to newly planted Sumac trees to help improve the soil quality, prevent weeds from growing and retain moisture after rainfall. Being a park on the shore of Lake Ontario, the area is subject to harsh winds and intense weather conditions all year round, resulting in dry, poor quality soil.
In total the group removed 4 garbage bags of litter, 9 yard waste bags of invasive species Purple Vetch and Thistles, and applied 20 cubic metres of mulch to over 400 native trees.

The old-fashioned portraits rendered by Travis Louie are decidedly unlike those which might hang in the home of one's great-grandmother.

The work of David Stoupakis may look dark, but don't let that fool you: in his mysterious paintings there is also tender hope and affirmation, exquisitely rendered with a quality that is at once realistic and dream-like.

Scott G. Brooks noted not long ago, perhaps half-jokingly, that what most of his paintings have in common is "flesh."

In the world depicted by Martin Wittfooth, humans are conspicuously absent, but their detritus remains: a junked car, a well-appointed apartment, a partially demolished building.

Boulder Weekly is launching a new presentation of our calendar, Panorama, now known as Boulder County Events. You can view the full calendar here.
This calendar includes all of the events in our print calendar, including the Arts, Theater and Words sections. You can search this calendar by event or by location.
We hope you enjoy Boulder County Events!
I really didn't think the events calendar section could get any worse, and yet you have managed to make it even more unwieldy than before. Click on "Music and Arts" and get 26 pages of items, not clearly categorized as theatre or live music or art openings, and no way to filter. Unbelievable.
The new calendar is ok with more detail on individual events. However, I can't seem to figure out how to change days on the calendar or view the whole week?? Am I just missing a button somewhere?
I liked the old way much better, this takes too much time especially to look at the full week to plan ahead.
This new calendar is very difficult to use . Go back to the old one. I guess i will have to use the daily camera from now on. What brainiac decided to do this
No way to view a particular date for a particular area. That's a deal breaker. If I want to go out Saturday night and see music in Boulder, no way to easily see those listings. You need some filtering such as date range, and distance from a location.

Most kids have to take a household item and use their imagination to turn it into something more exciting when they want to play pretend. But one little boy doesn't have to think too hard to pretend like he's blasting off in a spaceship.
That's because his father made him one that rivals a real ship.
According to the Huffington Post, Daniel Sherrouse built the ship for his one-year-old son, Noah. He said he got the idea while his wife was pregnant.
"I wanted him grow up with something that would give him lifelong inspiration. That is why I built it while he was very young," said Sherrouse. "I want him to grow into it and learn and explore as he goes. I will be upgrading the spaceship as he grows up. No matter what career path he chooses I will be proud of him."
The spaceship even comes complete with a window AC unit, and includes the Pioneer: A Game of Lonely Space Adventure to make it seem even more real.

Umm, the black death hit China in particular and Asia in general dozens of times. As a matter of fact it is thought to have originated in China and spread to Europe via the Silk Road. The outbreak in the 1300's, which affected all of Europe and Eurasia, is thought to have killed nearly a fourth of the population at that time, or roughly 100 million people, worldwide.

Published Thursday, December 13, 2012
Column By LAWRENCE REED
Special to The Newnan Times-Herald
That very loud "Boom!" you heard this past Tuesday was the sound of history being made in an unlikely place — Michigan. It's the state in which I lived for most of 33 years until I came to Georgia in 2010 and it's about to become the 24th to affirm the right of workers to be free of union coercion.
On Tuesday, Michigan's legislature passed a Right to Work (RTW) law, and soon, Gov. Rick Snyder will sign it. When it takes effect next year, it will mean that workers in Michigan, just like those here in Georgia, cannot be forced to join or pay dues to a labor organization as a condition of employment.
I remember well the first time I wrote about RTW in the Detroit Free Press almost 20 years ago. Better yet, I remember the reaction to it: A scattering of lukewarm encouragement on the order of "good luck on that one" and "someday maybe, but not in my lifetime" and a whole lot of "no way, never" with some unrepeatable epithets tossed in to underscore the point.
It wasn't the first time I or the organization I headed, the Mackinac Center, had called for RTW, but getting such prominence for the idea in the state's largest daily newspaper was an early victory on a long road. While we knew from the start that it would be mostly uphill, our attitude was "so let's get to work on it."
I had lived in Idaho from 1984 to 1987, running a small think-tank. We worked on the RTW issue, and when Idaho voters were set to vote on the matter in 1986, we researched and wrote and spoke our hearts out. In the end, Idahoans supported it by a wide margin and made Idaho the nation's 21st RTW state. I knew it could be done someday in Michigan, though I also knew that the path to get there would likely affirm these words attributed to Gandhi: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
No history of how Michigan ended the scourge of compulsory unionism can be told without citing the indispensable role of the Mackinac Center, where I served as president for two decades. I am immensely proud of that fact. We made the case for it when it was on no one's radar. We produced studies, commentaries and lectures about the concept for two decades. We simply never gave up. When you know something is right, why would you?
After Idaho voted for RTW in 1986 (after which its economy predictably soared), it took 15 years before the next state followed suit. That was Oklahoma in 2001. Then it was Indiana's turn just a year ago. And now, Michigan, home of the United Auto Workers. If it can happen there, freedom of choice in labor representation can happen anywhere.
Congratulations to Michigan for seeing the wisdom to do something that Georgia did many years ago.
(Lawrence W. Reed, a resident of Newnan, is president of the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, N.Y., and Atlanta.)

What happens when you mix a handful of kids with candy, paper, and Sharpie pens?
Nope. Not a super sweet food fight, permanent graffiti, or paper spit balls. Nothing destructive like that.
Instead, think Candy Doodles.
Candy Doodles are an easy, fun project for kids' parties, rainy days, art classes, and when you need a valid reason to sample a wide range of candy.
Here's what you need:
1. Colorful candies in obvious geometric shapes like M&M's, Dots, and Good & Plenty.
2. White Paper or colored or drawing paper. Anything goes.
3. Sharpie pens I found that Ultra Fine Sharpie pens work best. Of course, washable pens are perfectly fine to use, but I have an affinity toward Sharpies and their, um, sharpness. (Call me crazy, because my kids are known for writing on things other than paper.)
Here's the how-to:
This is where imaginations should run wild. Let kids of all ages place candies on paper and start scribbling around each pieces to create animals, faces, insects, flowers, cartoon characters, landscapes, whatever.
When the scribbling is done, place a small piece of double-stick tape on each piece of candy to hold it in place … or skip the tape and eat the sweets. In this rare instance, body parts are totally replaceable and interchangeable.
Inspiration: (these candy doodles were made by an 11-year-old who shares my same last name)
Start Candy Doodling at your house … and send us photos of your masterpieces! (E-mail photos to [email protected].) We'll post your photos here and on our Facebook and Pinterest pages to create the world's first Candy Doodle Gallery!
Need more inspiration? Check out Ed Emberley's Funprint Drawing Books. This author/artist is the king of simple, yet clever doodles.

Fotografía de noticiasChina,Finanzas,Guangzhou,Horizontal,Nuevo,Pekín,Provincia de Henan,VelocidadPhotographer AFPCollection: AFP 2012 AFPThe high speed train that runs on the new 2,298-kilometre (1,425-mile) line between Beijing and Guangzhou runs into Xuchang East Station in Xuchang, central China's Henan province on December 26, 2012. China started service on December 26 on the world's longest high-speed rail route, the latest milestone in the country's rapid and -- sometimes troubled -- super fast rail network. The opening of this new line means passengers will be whisked from the capital to the southern commercial hub in just eight hours, compared with the 22 hours previously required.

FORT DRUM For the 14 months that Pfc. Kristene N. Kesling has served in the Army, military policy prevented her and her wife, Nicole L. Kesling, from sharing the support and benefits provided to the spouses of straight soldiers.
Nicole could not sign up under her wifes Tricare health insurance. The two essentially were prevented from applying for on-post housing together. Lacking a military identification card, Nicole was unable to enter the post exchange or commissary by herself, and drew extra scrutiny when she presented her drivers license at the gate to enter the post.
Those problems were remedied Tuesday, as the Department of Defense formally recognized same-sex spouses of service members. On Wednesday morning, Nicole received her military ID card, formally acknowledging her connection to her wife.
Its been a long time coming, said Kristene, a human resources specialist in the Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division. It feels great to be treated as an equal regardless of sexual orientation.
The Keslings spoke to the Times on Monday at their home in Watertown and on post Wednesday after Nicole received her new ID card.
The two were married June 27, 2012, in Chautauqua County, becoming just the third gay couple to marry in that county. They met about three years earlier while working together at a Barnes & Noble store in Seattle, where Kristene grew up. Nicole grew up in Oregon, Ohio, before moving to Seattle in 2009.
Kristene said her interest in serving in the Army increased after the repeal of dont ask, dont tell in fall 2011, which prohibited openly gay service members.
Until I could officially do that, talk about my personal life with the people I work with, I didnt want that conflict of interest going on, Kristene said. Even though I really wanted to be in the military, I didnt want to hide who I was.
She also considered taking the exam to join the Seattle Police Department. However, she said, with the rule change, she went to an Army recruiters office instead.
They were like, Thats awesome. Were happy to have you, Kristene recalled her recruiter telling her. She enlisted July 7, 2012, 10 days after her wedding.
After a few months of training for Kristene, the pair arrived at Fort Drum in December.
Despite the potential bureaucratic problems facing the Keslings, they found that even before they arrived they had excellent support from their brigades staff, including assistance with paperwork that led to the posts garrison approving an exception for them to live together off post.
They went out of their way to help me, Kristene said.
Since arriving on post, Kristene said, she has felt welcome among her fellow soldiers, and her sexual orientation has not been a problem among the soldiers working around her.
I was expecting some problems integrating myself into the unit or the military, but it hasnt been that way at all, she said. My experience has been positive beyond what I could have hoped for.
The Keslings recalled their excitement when they learned about the repeal of portions of the Defense of Marriage Act in late June, with Kristene being told by Nicole, who had heard the news on TV.
I was bouncing around for a minute, Kristene said. I was smiling all day.
The Defense Department announced that full benefits for all spouses would be made available in mid-August, and about a week ago, the couple set up an appointment to process paperwork.
About 10:40 a.m. Wednesday, Nicole had her ID card. A few minutes after the ID card was processed, the Keslings had little time to celebrate: They had an appointment to sign up Nicole for Tricare. As a laborer at Northrop Farms, Dexter, Nicole does not have health insurance through her work.
Thats a celebration in itself, Kristene said.
They also said they had to make a few calls to family members.
Theyve been waiting just as long as we have, Nicole said.
Beyond Tuesdays policy change, more changes are underway that will support gay soldiers after they retire. On Wednesday, the Obama administration announced that it would not enforce a federal statute that limited the distribution of Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to straight couples.
Kristene said she hopes that in the future, the military will take more steps to being open for gay service members.
Somebody told me once that the military as a whole is just like a giant ship. Its harder to turn, and it takes a longer time turning, but it will turn, she said. Itll get there; itll just take a little longer. Im sure all the kinks in the line will work themselves out with time.

Delighting Patrons Drives Program Adoption
Question: Why are 54 percent of contingent workforce programs making servicing internal stakeholders a top priority?
Answer: A program is only as good as its adoption.
You could have the latest VMS technology, a killer CW program office or a brilliant MSP. But those won't necessarily increase program adoption among your hiring managers. The success of any CW program depends on the number of users, and users want ease of use. So a program manager's goal is — or should be — to get an easy-to-use system that hiring managers like and will use. Of course, the contingent workforce program also has to provide competitive quality workers at reasonable prices. It's not an easy mission.
So CW managers in charge do a number of different things to engage users and increase adoption. Here are 5 tips from the trenches.
- Adjust workflow approvals preset in systems so contingent hires aren't mired in bureaucracy.
- Partner with your top suppliers to create a customer service agent role that follows up with temps on assignment to ensure satisfaction. "Our early feedback is showing that the temps really appreciate this follow-up," says Ed Hidalgo, senior director of staffing at Qualcomm. And, it frees up the hiring manager from having to focus on temp matters. .
- Be responsive to your customer — even if it's just an email saying you will get back to them at a later date.
- On a regular basis, schedule an informal chat with your customers. "This chat should involve you explaining what the program offers and how you tailor the service/benefits to each of them," says Gary Campbell, chief operations officer, Johnson Health Center.
- Work with the VMS provider to make the tool intuitive to use. "It should be ATM simple," says Peggy O'Neill, ESPN's contingent workforce program director.
You want your CW brand's appeal to be strong across the company. And that requires happy internal stakeholders. The happier they are with the program, the more opportunities you create for adoption.

Buzz: Looking At The Rick Nash Suitors
At NHL.com, Dan Rosen looks at the teams on Rick Nash's list of trade destinations, including the Rangers, Sharks, Red Wings, Bruins, Penguins and Flyers.
Rosen notes that for the Rangers, Nash would become the highest paid player and that they would likely want to include Brandon Dubinsky and his cap hit of $4.5 million.
In terms of the players the Rangers would likely include, Rosen thinks that the Blue Jackets would want a combination of Michael Del Zotto, Carl Hagelin, Tim Erixon, Christian Thomas and JT Miller.

Key Messages
- Chemoprevention can lower the risk of cancer or slow its development. It is not used to treat cancer.
- Substances thought to lower cancer risk are studied in clinical trials to make sure they are safe and actually prevent cancer.
- Talk with your doctor about your risk for cancer and the benefits and risks (including side effects) of taking a drug that may lower your risk of cancer.
About chemoprevention
Cancer chemoprevention is the use of natural, synthetic (made in a laboratory), or biologic (from a living source) substances to reverse, suppress, or prevent the development of cancer.
Cancer is a disease in which cells become abnormal, invade healthy tissue, and grow uncontrollably. The transition from a healthy cell to a cancerous one is a process that usually takes many years and may be influenced by genetic, dietary, and behavioral factors (such as smoking). Chemopreventive agents, alone or in combination with each other, can help prevent that process from occurring or slow it down. Chemoprevention is not used to treat existing cancer, but may be used in people who have had cancer in order to lower the risk of developing new cancers.
Chemoprevention is typically used by people who have a higher risk of developing cancer, including those with a previous cancer, an inherited cancer syndrome, or a family history of cancer.
Examples of chemoprevention
Some examples of chemoprevention are:
- Tamoxifen (Nolvadex), an estrogen blocker that reduces the risk of developing breast cancer, and raloxifene (Evista), which lowers the risk of developing breast cancer in women who have been through menopause. Learn more about drugs to lower breast cancer risk.
- Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) and similar drugs that lower prostate cancer risk by reducing the amount of dihydrotestosterone (a male hormone) produced by the body. Learn more about prostate cancer chemoprevention.
- Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to lower the risk of many types of cancer in people with an average risk of cancer.
Although chemoprevention may delay cancer, it is possible that a person could still be diagnosed with cancer in the future. In this respect, chemoprevention for cancer may be similar to drugs used to prevent heart disease or stroke, such as statins or antihypertensive drugs, which are not 100% protective.
Risks and benefits of chemoprevention
As with any drug or medication, talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of chemoprevention. Lowering the risk of cancer is often a benefit, whereas unwanted side effects are a risk. Also discuss your risk of developing cancer, your preferences for taking a medication, and your current health.
For instance, a person with a higher risk of developing cancer may be willing to accept specific side effects, if the tradeoff is a lower risk of cancer. However, a healthy person may not want to take a medication that gives them side effects when they are not already sick. Everyone's preferences are different.
Chemoprevention in clinical trials
All drugs or other substances that have shown evidence of lowering cancer risk are tested in clinical trials. Clinical trials are research studies in people. A chemoprevention study tests a new chemopreventive agent to learn whether it is safe, effective, and actually delays or prevents cancer.
Often, substances that seem to prevent cancer in the laboratory setting don't prevent cancer when tested in people. In some situations, chemoprevention was shown to cause harms, some of which were serious or even life-threatening. For example, beta carotene, a substance found in carrots, squash, and similar vegetables, was thought to help prevent cancer. When tested in clinical trials, though, it raised the risk of lung cancer in people who smoked. Another clinical trial of selenium and vitamin E for prostate cancer showed that neither selenium nor vitamin E lowered the risk of prostate cancer, and there was even evidence that men who took vitamin E had an increase in prostate cancer. Learn more about vitamins and minerals.
Clinical trials often reveal that chemopreventive agents do not work for every person. This is similar to other drugs used for cancer treatment or for the prevention of other diseases, such as heart disease. When evaluating the results of chemoprevention clinical trials, it is important to look at the group of participants. Often, people with known, increased risks for cancer, such as those who smoke or have a family history of cancer, are studied, so the results of the study may not be applicable to everyone. For example, in the tamoxifen clinical trials, the participants were at elevated risk for developing breast cancer.

Flooding in Tennessee
Sulphur Dell Baseball Field during Flood,
Nashville, Tennessee, 1937
RG 82, Department of Conservation Photograph Collection
Crisscrossed by several major rivers and home to numerous lakes and streams, Tennessee is one of the most water-rich states in America. Heavy rains or ice run-off can cause many bodies of water to swell and encroach upon towns and cities. Major floods in 1847, 1902, 1927, 1937, 1948, and 1951, among other years, have caused severe damage to property and lives. Even small floods can take the lives of Tennesseans living near waterways, destroy entire towns, produce thousands or tens of thousands of refugees, and spread disease. Dam and reservoir breaks add to these troubles, for many of Tennessee's rivers have been dammed, and much of the state lies in the flood plains of dammed rivers and lakes. Unlike the slow-rising floods caused by swollen natural rivers, streams, and lakes, dam or reservoir ruptures are sudden and difficult to predict or contain. With so many cities situated near or around Tennessees numerous rivers, lakes, and streams, the threat of flooding is an ever-present danger to the citizens of the state.
Nashville Reservoir Rupture, Nashville, Tennessee, November 5, 1912
Just after midnight on the 5th of November, 1912, one of the walls of the Nashville Reservoir, located on a hill above 8th Avenue, ruptured. The walls had been leaking and crumbling for some time, but the sudden 175-foot breach caused nearly 25 million gallons of water to spill into the city. Many Nashvillians were awakened when the water rushed into their bedrooms; it even floated one family out of the house on their beds. The massive crush of water and the heavy granite blocks of the reservoir walls smashed through the city. There was extensive property damage as the deluge of water tore through South Nashville, although, thankfully, no lives were lost. The next morning citizens of South Nashville were left facing a massive recovery effort. Although the reservoirs rupture caused no deaths, countless Nashvillians suffered total or partial loss of homes and property. Much of the reservoir still stood, however, towering like a Roman ruin over the city. It was photographed extensively, leaving many dramatic images as memorials to one of the most remarkable disasters in Middle Tennessee history.

Lowest of four NRC emergency action levels reached due to high water levels
Forked River , NJ Exelon Nuclear declared an "Unusual Event" at Oyster Creek Generating Station at 7p.m. today after water levels in the plant's intake structure reached higher than normal levels.
This is an anticipated declaration required by procedures and is the result of Hurricane Sandy's impact on the region. There is no challenge to the safety of the plant. Oyster Creek is currently shut down for planned maintenance and refueling.
Oyster Creek is a robust and fortified facility, capable of withstanding the most severe weather. When the storm was identified, operators performed a host of plant inspections to ensure that all safety systems were operational and that outside equipment and materials were properly secured.
An Unusual Event is the lowest of four emergency classifications established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. There is no danger to the public or plant employees associated with this declaration.
Exelon Nuclear has notified all appropriate federal, state and local emergency response officials of the Unusual Event.
Oyster Creek is about 60 miles east of Philadelphia in Ocean County, New Jersey. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of electricity at full power, enough electricity to supply 600,000 typical homes, the equivalent to all homes in Monmouth and Ocean counties combined. In addition, plant workers, through their payrolls, are responsible for more $96 million injected directly into New Jersey's economy.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

Fizik Arione R1 saddle £199.99
Lightweight and extremely comfortable – the only downside is the price
Weight 148g Contact www.extrauk.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
It might be expensive but the new Fizik Arione R1 saddle is lightweight and very, very comfortable.
Fizik released the first Arione back in 2002 and it has become a modern classic loved by many. It's a little risky, then, to redesign it, but Fizik have released three new models: the 00, this R1, and the R3. For details on the range, check out our previous story.
The R1 comes with a carbon themoplastic composite WingFlex shell. WingFlex? Essentially, the shell is designed so that the sides will bend a little when your thighs push down so as not to impede your pedalling. The nose is just the slightest bit wider than previously and there's a little more padding there.
The cover is Microtex – a synthetic material rather than leather – while the rails are carbon braided – 'a sleeve of braided carbon fibers filled with unidirectional carbon fibres' in Fizik's own words. They support the whole of the shell from nose to tail. In terms of weight, our review saddle hit the road.cc Scales of Truth at 148g – just a smidge higher than Fizik's claimed 145g.
That's light. If you want a lighter saddle you can find one but Fizik say they weren't willing to compromise comfort here - and they haven't. This is the most comfortable Arione I've ever used.
I'm recovering from a broken elbow at the moment (I know, tragic) and so when I'm riding I've been unable to get out of the saddle as much as usual. My arm isn't that strong yet so I'm spending a lot of time sitting down. Despite that, I've been really comfy on the Arione.
I find the amount of flex in the shell and the degree of padding to be bang on. The Arione softens the bumps and checks vibration just enough without isolating you totally from useful road feedback. I have an Arione here from way back that I've always found a little too harsh for long-ride comfort. The R1 is more forgiving; the padding on the nose is more effective. If you don't really notice the saddle too much on a long ride, that's always a good thing, and I've found that to be the case here.
I've got on well with the shape too, particularly the nose width. I'm never totally sure why the Arione needs to extend that far to the rear – it's 30cm long and I never use the whole thing – but it's there if you want to shift your weight all the way back there.
The Arione is intended for riders with a flexible spine. Fizik's Spine Concept is designed to put you on a saddle that's right for your level of flexibility so go to the website and see what they reckon is best for you.
Lightweight and extremely comfortable – the only downside is the price.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Fizik say this is a saddle for those with good spine flexibility. Go to www.fizik.com to find out all about that.

I spent too much money on saddles until I bought an old used Arione for 6000 yen = $72. I love it. And a used top rate saddle is a good deal.
Yes, secondhand underwear is banned from being sold in many places including Zimbabwe, but this is different.

Fizik very kindly sent me one of these as a replacement after 2 broken Kurve models (phenomenal customer service by the way). I was sceptical as it looks quite minimalist for padding (other than the nose, which is a big improvement on the old Arione). There's no doubt it is firm, but once riding it is a very comfortable perch indeed, the wingflex really making a difference. 4 hour ride - no sit bone ache.

PAWTUCKET — In his many thanks to colleagues and friends at his last Pawtucket School Committee meeting, outgoing chairman Jim Chellel gave a special recognition to the staff of Shea High School who were there from 1990 to 1994.
That's because Chellel, who graduated in 1994, credits his teachers, baseball coaches, and others at the school who helped him overcome a learning disability with being a key example of the benefits of public education and why taxpayers should not begrudge their financial support.
"When I entered Shea as a freshman, I could barely spell the name of the street that I lived on — Prentice Street -- -and I left as senior class president," noted Chellel, proudly.
Chellel recalled that during the first eight years of his education, which were spent at a local Catholic school, his teachers failed to diagnose the difficulties he was having with reading and math. However, he said that soon after arriving at Shea, he was tested and put on a remedial plan of action that successfully addressed his learning issues and allowed him to gain some much-needed confidence.
The Pawtucket native now works as a dispatcher for the state's 911 emergency system, and was recently recognized for his role in helping save a woman's life. "I am a prime example of public education working," said Chellel, who added that he gets dismayed at the constant criticism of tax dollars going toward that purpose.
Chellel, who has served on the School Committee for the past six years and the last two as chairman, said he decided to "speak from the heart" about his own school days in an effort to highlight the role teachers and school personnel play in shaping a child's future.
Chellel said the same kind of personal attention was given to his young daughter last year by the former principal Jacqueline Ash and the teachers of the Nathanael Greene Elementary School. He noted that the premature birth of his son and related medical issues caused a great deal of worry and stress in the household, and that school was the only bright spot for his daughter during that difficult time.
"My daughter always loved going to school and the administrators and staff reached out to her — and not just because she was my daughter. They would do that for anyone's daughter," said Chellel. "And there are a lot of kids who are going through a lot worse at home than what my daughter was. These are the intangibles that you can't put a price tag on," he said.
Chellel said that during the past couple of years, he has seen an upswing in the mood of what he calls "the loud minority," consisting of Tea Party members and other fiscal conservatives who simply want to see cuts in what taxpayer dollars are funding. 'There are people out there who despise paying anything toward teachers or public education," said Chellel. "From my first year on the School Committee to now, an anti-teacher sentiment seems to have grown. Some seem to think that if you're getting paid by a taxpayer, you're an evil person." But, Chellel pointed out, teachers and other municipal employees "are rendering a service that is vital to every city and town."
Chelle bemoaned the fact that there seems to be a growing movement that blames teachers for the economic downturn because they use tax dollars. He concedes that while education is one of the biggest contributors to municipal debt, it shouldn't be considered as a debt because "we need an intelligent, educated workforce in order to have a stronger state and economy."
Chellel said his late father, Thomas, was "a proud union man" who worked for the state Sheriff's Department and was the longtime president of Council 94, and noted that he, too, is a strong supporter of labor unions. As such, he defended his role on the School Committee's Labor Sub-Committee and his subsequent vote to support the last teachers' contract after the union agreed to re-open it. The agreement was later criticized by many, including Mayor James Doyle, some School Committee members, and others in the community for not going far enough in producing savings, even though it contained a reduction in salary increases and other concessions.
Despite the controversy, Chellel said he has "no regrets" over that vote, and noted that without the last contract change, the teachers would be receiving a scheduled salary increase of four percent. He said the fact that the union has been asked, and has agreed, to re-open the contract once again in the wake of the city's worsening fiscal situation is something that he feels bad about personally even though he voted for the request. "I feel like, I signed that last contract, and now I'm going against my word," he noted.
Chellel said that one of his most difficult votes was on the question of whether or not to move the Jacqueline M. Walsh School for the Visual and Performing Arts from its original home in the Pawtucket Armory building to its new location in Jenks Junior High School. "I had believed in Mayor Doyle's vision of making the city an art mecca and I didn't want to see it collapse in the move from the Armory," Chellel said. However, he noted that the JMW School has also become "a major success story for the city" and is one that he was able to watch from his seat on the School Committee.
Chellel also acknowledged the divisiveness that has plagued the School Committee during the past couple of years. However, he said that on his last meeting, on Dec. 14, he addressed each of the members personally, thanking them for working with him and noting their positive qualities, even though at times it "got personal." He said he hopes the new committee, going forward, can "agree to disagree."
Chellel added that while his time on the committee has come to an end, he has already had new bumper stickers printed up that read "Chellel for 12." "I don't think this is the end of me politically. Of course, it's up to the voters," he stated. He added, of his time on the School Committee, "I'm really going to miss it."

The Lisbon versus Heuvelton rivalry got the Northern Athletic Conference Girls Soccer season off to a dramatic opening on Tuesday night. The Knights and Bulldogs played to a 2-2 tie through overtime and went to the second round of a shootout before deciding the first finalist for the OFA Girls Soccer Tournament.
Defending champion OFA downed Norwood-Norfolk 1-0 in the second game of the night which was the NAC Central Division opener. Tonights action will see N-N and Heuvelton meeting at 6 p.m. followed by OFA and Lisbon in the championship game.
Lisbon will host the opening game of the NAC West Boys Soccer season today against Hermon-DeKalb in a 4:30 p.m. start.
Devils Seek Repeat: Riley Luckie scored from close range with five minutes to play to carry OFA to a 1-0 win in Coach Al Rishe Jrs debut as the Lady Devils coach.
Rishe prevailed in a matchup of two former OFA players with N-Ns Jayne Bishop and commented that his team must improve their offensive play to effectively match up with Lisbon tonight in the championship game.
Lisbon is a very good team with an outstanding goalie. We have develop our passing combinations and get more shots on goal. Riley Luckie scored a nice goal tonight and we have to develop more crosses on offense said Rishe after Kirsten Snyder stopped eight shots to record her firsrt varsity shutout.
It was a tough game and tonight we worked very hard. It was really nice to win that first game. Our MVP tonight was definitely Courtney Sherwin at sweeper. She saved us several times.
Sherwin rotated back to break up a potential Flyer breakaway with 9:46 and 4:46 to play and Riley drilled a shot high into the net off a long through pass from Taylor Smith.
Megan Plumb handled six shots for the Flyers.
Lisbon Wins Shootout: Lisbon advanced to the title game with a 1-0 edge in the second round of the shootout after the Knights and Bulldogs each scored three times in the first penalty shot round.
This was just a great confidence builder for our girls, said Lisbon Coach Scott Richardson after the Knights tied the reigning division champions and then moved into the title game for the second straight year on the strength of senior halfback Hanna Richardsons goal and three saves by goaltender Jackie Sovie in the second penalty kick round. Sovie capped a brilliant night in goal by making three straight saves after the first HCS shooter lifted a shot over the crossbar.
Sovie, who handled 15 shots on the night, also scored to earn Lisbon a 3-3 tie in the first shootout round. In the second round of the shootout, Richardson faded her decisive shot just inside the right goalpost just out of the reach of Heuvelton keeper Paige McCormick who made three of her seven saves in the shootout.
Beth Crowley and Maeve Bowdish also scored for the Knights in the first round of the shootout and Alex Steele, Hannah Thornhill and Rachel Thornhill answered for HCS.
Lisbons Maddie Vine deftly buried direct kicks to open the nights scoring and to erase a 2-1 Heuvelton lead in the first overtime. Vine scored from a 20 yards out on the right flank in the 15th minute of the game and then rattled a 25-yard topspin laden drive off the crossbar and into the next with 2:39 remaining in the first 10-minute OT.
Heuvelton gained a 1-1 tie with 8:42 remaining in the first half when Alexis Weidner controlled a pretty chip pass from Hannah Thornhill and buried a shot range drive. The Bulldogs took a 2-1 lead in the second minute of overtime when Weidner used a perfect sharp-angle strike to one-touch a long pass from defender Maddie St. Pierre into the far corner of the net.

Most slow cooker recipes call for a 6 to 8 hour cook time, which isn't ideal for families who are away from home for 10 or more hours per day. That's because if you slow-cook food longer than the recipe says, your food could overcook or turn out mushy. With the IntelliTime™ Slow Cooker, that problem is permanently solved.
How It Works
The IntelliTime™ Slow Cooker offers an intelligent mode that determines the most appropriate temperature for the amount of time you program — anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. Simply add the ingredients, set the number of hours to cook based on when you want the food to be ready, and the cooker automatically adjusts the heat level to prevent overcooking. When the cooking time has ended, it switches to WARM mode for up to 4 hours. Your meal will be cooked the way you want it; no more "mush" or dry, overcooked food.
The IntelliTime™ slow cooker also offers a traditional Manual mode, with heat settings of WARM, LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. This mode is ideal for foods with cooking times of less than 4 hours, recipes such as desserts and egg dishes, or when you simply don't need to program the slow cooker.

Infused with Carrie Fisher's trademark incisive wit and perfectly poised on the heels of Wishful Drinking's instant New York Times best-selling success, Shockaholic takes listeners on another rollicking ride into her crazy life.
Told with the same intimate style, brutal honesty, and uproarious wisdom that placed Wishful Drinking on the New York Times best-seller list for months, Shockaholic is the juicy account of Carrie Fisher's life, focusing more on the Star Wars years and dishing about the various Hollywood relationships she's formed since she was chosen to play Princess Leia at only 19 years old. Fisher delves into the gritty details that made the movie - and herself - such a phenomenal success, admitting, "It isn't all sweetness and light sabers."
©2011 Deliquesce. All rights reserved. (P)2011 Simon & Schuster, Inc.
"Carrie Fisher Grows up, Learns About Real Life"
It's in my top ten books, so far. I enjoyed it.
I like the way Carrie Fisher tells her own story. She's very honest, forthright, and has very interesting life stories to tell.
I like the style of her delivery. I appreciate the candor in which she speaks. She tells her own story, as no one else can.
Yes. I did.
"Disappointing after Wishful Drinking"
Stronger storyline, more to share. This story was very thin, dull and at times defensive.
Maybe. She's obviously funny and a good writer.
The author/narrator is very low key. Not energetic about anything. Felt like she wasn't enthusiastic about this book at all.
Carrie Fisher is very funny, and honest. I will give her that. There just wasn't much of interest here. Most of her story was told in Wishful Drinking. I almost feel like she put out this book just to make a buck.
I really enjoyed Wishful Drinking and was looking forward to more. This wasn't it. Very little story. Also Fisher has become very mushy. It actually made me gag a few times, how she tried to tie everything up with a bow. Very disappointing, especially the defense of Michael Jackson, and the long second half of the book, mostly about her father's death. Dull.
"I am getting very attached to Carrie"
Carrie Fisher's writing is disturbing and entertaining. I feel kind of protective of her as she is so raw and uncensored. Sometimes she goes too far for me as she can get off on strange tangents but I value her perspective and silliness. When she talks about her father and the way she took care of him when he needed her was surprising and profound to me...
I actually feel attached to her as she is getting to be like an old friend who you want to look out for as she sounds fragile sometimes and I don't want to lose her....
"One of the Best Carrie Fisher Books Ever"
I've always liked Fisher's caustic wit and candid honesty about her life, Shockaholic has to be one of her most candid and funny books ever. I'd reccomend it for someone who needed their spirits lifted.
Insights into Ted Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and Michael Jackson.
One of the best.
When Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor reconsiled.
This is a good book for people suffering depression, it shows that one can over come their mental illnesses if one is willing to take risks and take control of their lives.
"Not as good as any of her other books"
More story and details about her life and feelings, less description about only one or two things. (She spent a lot of time talking about what we might think of when we hear about shock therapy.) Maybe a better editor next time to clean it up?
Probably not. It just wasn't as good and detailed as I would have liked. I love Carrie Fisher but this seemed really short and written more like a quick blog about some thoughts she is having at the moment. I enjoyed hearing the details about her family and herself that came in now and then, like about her father for example, or weightloss, but this book didn't have as much of that as other books of hers.
She is funny being herself with all her sarcasm.
I really liked this book. It had some interesting stories about her encounters with the Dem senators, her relationship with her dad, and her shock therapy. She had a good reading voice that kept my interest and she has the mouth of a sailor. I was entertained by it and it wasn't too long. I'd recommend this book
"Fun and Intelligent read"
Way up there. Author is witty and insightful.
Pointing out that what's experienced in childhood (in her case celebrity) becomes normal.
Since the author reads the book herself it feels like she's telling you HER story. Plus, unlike some authors who read their own books, she's an actress so is able to do it well.
When she spoke about her pain and how drugs were used to numb it.
"Funny, sad, and very satisfying."
Carrie Fisher is one of the great American humorists and her timing and inflections are infinitely better than anything my mind could come up with. Her story is deeply personal and it is somewhere between a treat and an honor to hear her narrate her story.
Wishful Drinking
I have not but I want to hear everything she's done now.
Carrie Fisher's depiction of her father and their relationship was deeply moving. Eddie Fisher didn't deserve her love or forgiveness but she deserved to give it. The same with her building a relationship with Elizabeth Taylor, no one would fault Carrie Fisher for resenting Liz, but the scene where she let's Liz push her into a pool was cathartic and healing for both of the--only in Carrie Fisher's world does this happen!
This is great to listen to in your car or home, but be careful in public because you might alarm strangers by snorting with laughter.
"NOT even close to Wishful Drinking"
I have been a huge fan of Carrie Fisher and "Wishful Drinking" (The book and the one-woman show) so I was excited to listen to this one. It was such a disappointment. It was essentially a afterthought - should not pass as it's own book - maybe as an extra few chapters that should have been cut from "Wishful Drinking." She spends more time talking about Michael Jackson than she does most anything else. The only touching moments were discussing her relationship with her father, which she doesn't go into much in WD. Overall it was bland, boring, and I found myself impatient for it to end. A very sad thing for a fan like me to say.
She sounded bored through most of it, which seemed to make me, in turn, bored with her.
"Loved it!"
This is a great book! She was open and candid about her, her mother, her father and all that she has gone through with depression. You can tell in some segments that she is a bit tired, then others she is more upbeat in her vocal tone. All in all, it was such a fantastic book that I "liked" her Facebook page and invited her to lunch in July when I go back to California. Whether she takes the invite or not, who knows, but she is the type of personality that I could really connect with. My favorite part is the last, when she speaks of the time she finally had with her father, Eddie Fisher.
"Disappointing. I feel a little cheated."
I picked this up since it was pitched as being "about the Star Wars years" and talking about her relationships with other celebrities. I was then disappointed that it wasn't really anything to do with Star Wars or really anything that the blurb seemed to promise.
Instead it's the story of characters I'm not particularly interested in (Eddie Fisher, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and her stepfather), which is unfortunate of course but not the author's fault. But the style then is the issue. I didn't find the wit and humour as engaging as her fans apparently are.
There's not a clear story that I could identify, which means that the result is a number of stories and character portrayals (and frequently assassinations) which too often start in viciously before I had any idea who the person was and why they deserved her vitriol.
The book is, I think, brutally honest which recommends it. But I think it relies too much on her assessments of people which often comes without enough evidence, and relies heavily on the idea that we should trust her judgment, which the first chapters alone have given us cause to doubt.
I really wanted to like this and while it hasn't harmed my opinion of Carrie Fisher, it has turned me off her writing I'm afraid.
"Another great and extremly honest book by Carrie"
A good book that is a lot more serious than the last. While talking about herself and her illnesses she could have a laugh and make jokes. But when broaching the more serious subject of the death of her farther and Michael Jackson the jokes are harder to find. Which makes sense.
Personally I still throughly enjoyed hearing about her crazy life. And hope that she will eventually do one that finally talks about her Star Wars days. Which she at times seems to avoid. As she she skirts around the edges of but doesn't really get into any depth about.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
While the issue wasn't exactly on the agenda of the East Carbon City Council on Tuesday evening, the subject of a potential land swap between the Bureau of Land Management, the State of Utah and Hunt Oil in the mountains above the town was one of the highlights of the evening.
"All I can say is that the trade would be a salvation for businesses that are here and those that may open," said Councilman Dave Maggio. "The county has spent a lot of money on advertising and promotion trying to get people to go up Nine Mile Canyon, but when they do they run into a dead end as far as looping past here. They either have to drive back the way they came or they drive to Myton. They can't get to us the way the road is now. But with that swap there would be a loop and they could go up Cottonwood Canyon and through our town."
The pending land swap includes land in the Desolation Canyon area, around the Cold Springs area and some property that had been a part of the Nutter Ranch. A road through the Cold Springs, connecting to Cottonwood Canyon would create the throughway that Maggio mentioned.
The discussion went on between the few people who were attending the meeting and council members about the situation. There were suggestions that if it happened the town might be able to do some advertising promoting the fact that the road would be a loop through East Carbon and that services are available.
The conversation also tied into the fact that the old Dragerton Department Store has been purchased and the man who bought it wants to put new businesses in the building. At the last council meeting (Sept. 14) he told the council that he intended to put in commercial ventures such as a pizzaria, possibly an Italian Restaurant, a bakery, a laundromat and an ATV shop, among other things.. All these things could add to the service base people who would take the road could use.
There was discussion about the ATV trail that some Wellington interests are trying to put together along the same route, which also could add to East Carbon economically. Mayor Dale Andrews said he has had some discussion with members of the Carbon County Transportation and Recreation Special Service District about helping with some of the costs for improving such a trail and that they seemed interested in supporting it.
The council also heard from Lewis Larson who has been examining an old service station that the city was given that they want to remodel into a new fire station.
"Structurally the building is in very good shape," he said as he described the supports and footers under it. "As a concrete contractor I believe that floor would be strong enough to support two fire trucks with water in them. There is a steel deck under the floor, which makes it very strong."
He also addressed the condition of the outside of the structure as well, saying that despite some stress points on the corners of the building, some anchor bolts with strapping and a concrete overlay would not only make the building very strong but would also add to it's looks as well.
"It is actually a fairly easy fix," he said.
The council asked him if he had come up with an estimate to repair the building and he told them he had not, but that he would do that soon so they could look at how to finance such work.
Andrews also pointed out that there is another possibility on the horizon for a fire truck garage with the city being awarded the old school district bus garage very soon.
"There will be five garages with solid concrete floors," he said. "These buildings need new metal roofs on them and a lot needs to be done with the yards surrounding them, but those are another possibility. With the possibility of consolidation (East Carbon and Sunnyside which will be decided Nov. 2) in the offing there are a lot of things that can be thrown in the mix."
The school district is building new garages for the buses used in the area near East Carbon High School.
Maggio also discussed a building the city owns that they recently rented to a business. He stated the building needs some repairs but he thought that the rent that is being paid for the facility will take care of most of what needs to be done. He also discussed the city's gun range which he is over in his position as councilman. He asked that citizens who use the range keep it clean and orderly.
"I just hope that people won't take their old appliances down there and shoot them up, " he said apparently referring to a practice that has been followed in the past.
The Mayor also said that work is progressing well on the city's water tank which is being revamped. He also said that a study that is being conducted on the sewer lagoons is progressing well, as the engineers the city hired continue to study the situation. The hopes are that a rebuild of the lagoons can take place in the Spring. The state awarded the town $19,000 for the study this past summer.
One of the last things discussed was the situation with youth in the community and the suicides that have taken place over the last couple of months.
"These kids grew up here," said Liz Ferguson. "Something needs to be done to heal this community."
She pointed out that a suicide prevention conference will take place at the Holiday Inn in Price on Oct. 7, but that there is also a program coming to the East Carbon/Sunny side area on Friday of this week. The workshop is called "Healing our children in crisis" and it will be held at the ABC Learning Center from 3-5 p.m. for teenagers and from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for the entire community."
In monetary matters the council approved $325 for educational materials for National Fire Prevention week as well as money to hire a company to crack seal roads in the city. They also approved the purchase of truckload of blacktop to fill in chuck holes and for some small projects on various roadways.

With its High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, the EOS 6D can merge 3 images of varying exposure in camera and save them as one final image, capturing a broad range of shadow and highlight detail with stunning tonal range. Adjustable to cover a range of ±3 stops, HDR recording truly expands the parameters of the light and dark detail a camera can actually record, surprising viewers with the range of tones a photograph can accurately recreate.
The EOS 6D offers a Multiple Exposure mode for film-like image creation with the convenience of in-camera processing. It offers two different compositing methods for proper exposure and composition: additive or average. Multiple exposure shots from 2 to 9 are stored as one final image and can be taken in both RAW and JPEG shooting modes. A RAW image previously captured by the EOS 6D (3:2 aspect ratio only) can be used as a starting point, and cumulative results can be observed and corrected in real time on the camera's LCD screen.
An enhanced Scene Intelligent Auto mode incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation.
The EOS 6D features a variety of Special Scene modes that achieve high-quality images: Handheld Night Scene and HDR Backlight Control. The Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas by shooting and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake, making dramatic nighttime photography simple. The HDR Backlight Control mode ensures that backlit subjects are not recorded too dark by shooting three consecutive shots at different exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed) and then combining the images; the final result maintains detail in both the shadow and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed.

BIA is one of a prestigious group of 12 companies whose patronage of NI Chamber brings a wide range of benefits including network building and influencing policy at local and national government level.
Belfast International Airport Business Development Director Uel Hoey said:
"Belfast International Airport is delighted to renew our patronage relationship with the Northern Ireland Chamber. Over the past few years we have appreciated the immense proactivity of NI Chamber in supporting business in Northern Ireland in general in an enthusiastic and impactful manner. The strengthening of our working ties is a firm sign of our faith in the Chamber and its management as we celebrate 50 years serving the Northern Ireland economy and travelling public from the site at Aldergrove."
Commenting on the renewal NI Chamber Chief Executive Ann McGregor said:
"BIA has been a patron of NI Chamber since 2011 and we are really pleased that the airport is continuing its association at a high level with us. We also congratulate the airport on its golden anniversary and look forward to maintaining the close relationship which we have with the facility."
