I don't understand all the raves I've read about this cleanser as it seems very standard to me, and doesn't smell particularly good either. Try Cetaphil for dry skin instead. At least it's an inexpensive, standard cleanser. Purity Made Simple does the job, but I didn't find it to be unique or exciting enough to justify the high price point. When I want to spend that kind of $ I'll stick to Murad's calming line.

I have cooperative skin and most products work well for me; that said, ambivalent about this. It's a gentle cleanser that rinses clean--no residue like Cetaphil. It's not as effective for removing makeup as it claims: even after doing the massage onto dry face, lather with water, then rinse thing, I still can see my foundation on my white towel, and that's a turn off. It does seem to remove eye makeup if used undiluted, but I still use eye makeup remover on days when I wear mascara, because this stuff burns if I get it in my eyes and I'd rather not risk smearing any remaining eye makeup on my towel anyway. I agree that they could have done without the added fragrance, but I find it pleasant: an herbal, geranium leaf type of scent.

I love this cleanser. I didn't care for the scent at first, but it really grew on me and now I love it. It cleanses my skin thoroughly but is very gentle and my skin does not feel tight after I use it. The price may seem high but you get a lot for the money and it lasts forever.

Worth its weight in gold. Perfect for my combination skin and oily T-zone that always feels "tight" after washing with other cleansers.
This product made me completely abandon my old stand-by (the ProActiv cleanser). I just bought two of the huge (32oz) bottles of Purity when QVC had them on sale, so I'll never have to worry about running out! continued >>

I really like this cleanser. Just squirt a little onto fingers in the shower, rub a bit, and rinse. Face feels clean, no need for toner. Smells a little like lemons. One bottle will last a LONG time!

Effective cleanser that removes makeup and dirt without overdrying my combo skin.I've been using it exclusively for about 3 weeks now and I really like it. It's a bit of cross between a cream cleanser and a foaming one, in terms of cleansing the skin- doesn't foam much, but doesn't leave residue the way some cream cleansers can. It does have an herbal smell that some people may not like, but I really didn't mind it much, it reminded me of creams or lotions used at a spa. So far, it's been the best cleanser I've used. I'll update if their are any changes. UPDATE: Still like this as a cleanser but have moved on to Avon Retroactive gel cleanser for now. Will update.

I'm a week into using this product but so far I like everything about it. I like the clean scent and I like the texture. A little does go along way so this bottle will last a good long time. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft and is efficient at removing makeup. After rinsing my skin feels fresh and clean and there is no feeling of tightness at all which is what I am looking for in a cleanser. This cleanser has reached HG status. I'll update later if there are any adverse changes.

Oh what high hopes I had for this. Yes, it took off the makeup. Yes, it tasted like hell if you accidently opened your mouth to breathe while cleansing. Yes, it does kind of stink. The main thing is that I broke out worse than I ever have after using this religiously for a couple of weeks. I'm talking little miss one pimple a year turns into a giant red blob in the facial area. It is horrific. I have dry skin with congested T-zone pores and it just messed it all up- very weird. I would suggest trying before you buy and being cautious- the plant-y ingredients are very irritating to many skin types.

I have been using this cleanser for about 3 weeks now. Before this product my skin was combo/sensitive with flaky dry cheeks and oily nose. My skin has now become "normal", the conversion happening in mere days with being faithful to using only this cleanser. I don't mind the 'woody/aromatic' smell and I **love** the way my face feels after cleansing. I have only used a very small amount since it takes off all my makeup instantly and completely so it is much cheaper than my former soapless clenser. Hooray! My HG has (probably) been found! I'll see how it goes into the winter, but I suspect it will continue to be superb.[Winter update]: Definitely HG. My facialist is amazed how much my skin has improved. My pores are no longer visible. Hope they never change the formula....

Training suspended as accidental shooting probed
The investigation is focusing on how the instructor came to discharge live ammunition, though one theory is that he picked up the wrong gun
By Eric Tucker
Associated Press
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore police commissioner has suspended some training academy staff after a campus police trainee was accidentally shot in the head by an instructor.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (goog-lee-EL-mee) says authorities are continuing to investigate Tuesday's shooting, which occurred during a training exercise in Baltimore County. All training academy operations have also been suspended.
Guglielmi says the investigation is focusing on how the instructor came to discharge live ammunition, though one theory is that he picked up the wrong gun. He says police officials are also trying to figure out who authorized the training session because the location where the shooting occurred isn't one of the normal sites used by the department.
The victim, who was training for the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus police, remained in critical condition Wednesday.

Apple Re-invents Something New: The Privacy Policy
All too often privacy is something you willingly give away by clicking it away and not reading a privacy policy pop-up. Apple has taken the first step to being more transparent with your privacy by updating it's privacy site today. From Tech Crunch:
This is the template for all other tech companies when it comes to informing users about their privacy. Not a page of dense jargon, and not a page of cutesy simplified language that doesn't actually communicate the nuance of the thing. Instead, it's a true product. A product whose aims are to inform and educate, just as Apple says its other products do.

Contraction of Internet etiquette, the etiquette guidelines for posting messages to online services, and particularly Internet newsgroups. Netiquette covers not only rules to maintain civility in discussions (i.e., avoiding flames), but also special guidelines unique to the electronic nature of forum messages. For example, netiquette advises users to use simple formats because complex formatting may not appear correctly for all readers. In most cases, netiquette is enforced by fellow users who will vociferously object if you break a rule of netiquette.

All Movie Guide - Craig ButlerThere's plenty of dust being driven sky high, and horses running to and fro, and nefarious backstage political shenanigans and more big sky Texas settings than you can shake a stick at in Lone Star. Yet somehow, no matter how much or how hard you shake that stick, you can't get Star to come to life. It's a big picture with a big story, but it never becomes the epic-cum-romance that it wants to be; instead, the film just lies there like an exhausted horse in the hot Texas sun. Certainly the script is to blame, as it is filled with clichéd situations and trite dialogue. The characters are thin and predictable, and the dialogue is hokey. A real firebrand of a director might have whipped it into something that was entertaining if empty headed, but Vincent Sherman's work here is perfunctory. Yes, he gets the shots lined up right and everything is where it should be, but there's no spark to it and precious little imagination. Someone with a firm hand and a distinctive touch was needed, and Sherman couldn't supply it. The cast is certainly loaded with talent, but the mighty Clark Gable doesn't have his heart into it, and he's the one who really has to hold it together. Ava Gardner looks luscious but her performance is uninspired and Broderick Crawford plays his part without any surprises. Lionel Barrymore provides some tasty ham as Andrew Jackson, but it's not enough.

Cast: Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Broderick Crawford

It is so nice to have you stay and live in the house the way it was meant to be. A real family home. Seeing you explore and learn about the area over the past four months has been a real pleasure. The way you adapted to the vagaries of the weather this year and the surprises of country living has been fantastic. For you to be able to call The Main House your "home" says everything and justifies the years of continuous work. Thank you, and I will miss the daily football matches in the yard.

Which Comes First, "Nineteen Kopong Kopong," "Panahon Pa ni Mahoma," Or "Noong Bata Pa Si Sabel"?
20 August 2015
In this post, we will discuss these two "times" plus another time called "noong bata pa si Sabel (when Sabel was still young)"
1. Panahon Pa Ni Mahoma:
People usually associate this with Gen. Masaharu Homma, commander of the Japanese invading forces during World War 2 under whose watch the Bataan Death March happened (to which he was sentenced to die by an American court by Gen. MacArthur even if he did not order the march nor the cruelty to captured American and Filipino prisoners-of-war (POWs). He was executed in Los Banos, Laguna (the site visited by Tutubi a few months but still unblogged as of this time) and his remains later shipped to Japan and interred at the (in)famous Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. (Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita was condemned together with Homma in a Manila trial and was also executed in Los Banos, near UPLB, the site of Baker Hall, a former POW camp and site of the daring UPLB dawn raid similar to what happened in World War 2 Raid at UST and Cabanatuan)
Mahoma in this expression came from Muhammad (sometimes Mohamed), prophet of Islam, who lived from the year 570AD until 632AD
2. Panahon ni Kopong Kopong
Who's Kopong Kopong? There's nobody in Philippine nor in World History named Kopong Kopong.
Kopong is an old Tagalog word for none or zero. When you say nineteen kopong kopong, it means 1900 literally.
Somebody though should be credited for coining the funny expression "panahon pa ni Kopong Kopong" which stuck though.
3. Noong Bata Pa Si Sabel
Literally means "when Sabel was still young" but who's Sabel? It's not about an old movie (that Tutubi has yet to see)
Sabel refers to Queen Isabella II of Spain who ruled Spain from 1833 to 1868. Her name is tied to the history of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) which was founded in 1851 as El Banco Español Filipino de Isabel II (Spanish-Filipino Bank of Isabel II).
The province of Isabela in Cagayan Valley is also named after her, a gate of Intramuros called Puerta de Isabel II near the Bureau of Immigration and National Press Club and the the Bridge of Isabel II in Imus, Cavite completed in 1857, the site of the Battle of Imus River in 1896.
Queen Isabella II is also "to blame" for the Filipinos use of word "pera" to refer to money instead of the Spanish word dinero for money or treasure.
According to Ambeth Ocampo, "the late Alejandro Roces who said that "pera" originated from the coins that carried the profile of Isabel II whose legitimacy was challenged by her uncle Carlos, resulting in the so-called "Carlist Wars." Roces maintained that Isabel's detractors referred to her as "La Perra" (The Bitch), hence the coins that bore her image became known as "perra," a name that caught on to become our "pera."
There you go, wo you now know which dates comes first "Nineteen Kopong Kopong," "Panahon Pa ni Mahoma," Or "Noong Bata Pa Si Sabel" plus the origin of the pera (money) in Filipino language :)

How to Get to Pasay City Hall: Map, Commute, Directions
26 July 2015
How to Get to Pasay City Hall
If you happen to be flagged down by the blue boys of Pasay (traffic police) for a traffic violation, particularly the notorious "no swerving" rule on EDSA u-turn slots near SM Mall of Asia (MOA), you will find yourself going to Pasay CIty Hall to claim your drivers licens (if you're not evil enough to bribe those miscreants on EDSA). Information also for mayor's permit, business permit, birth certificate, marriage certificate and other transactions at Pasay City Hall
How to Commute to Pasay City Hall
Via MRT: get off at MRT Taft Avenue station then take a taxi to Pasay City Hall or a bus to Baclaran then alight at the corner of F.B. Harrison. Take a jeepney to Quiapo, Divisoria or Sta. Cruz and alight in front of Pasay City Hall
via LRT: get off at LRT EDSA station then take a taxi to Pasay City Hall or a bus to Baclaran then alight at the corner of F.B. Harrison. Take a jeepney to Quiapo, Divisoria or Sta. Cruz and alight in front of Pasay City Hall. ALternately, get off at LRT Libertad station, take a jeep to DFA, Pasay Post Office and alight at F.B. Harrison then walk to Pasay City Hall
on EDSA via bus: take a bus to Baclaran (not the one with LRT/Leveriza) then drop off on EDSA corner F.B. Harrison. Take a jeepney to Quiapo, Divisoria or Sta. Cruz and alight in front of Pasay City Hall
From Quezon City, Quiapo, Sta. Cruz or Divisoria, if you're not in a hurry, the jeepneys with signboards Baclaran/Mabini will pass by right in front of Pasay City Hall.
If you're from Cavite, just go to Baclaran then board jeepneys with signboard Quiapo or Sta. Cruz or Divisoria with Mabini (not Taft) as they pass by Pasay City Hall
Driving Directions to Pasay City Hall
easiest route to get there from Makati, Taguig, Pasig or Mandaluyong is via EDSA, past Taft Avenue then turn right to F.B. Harrison. No idea though where to park

July 27, 2015 Holiday Iglesia Ni Cristo Anniversary?
05 July 2015
In previous years, PNoy declared July 27 as special non-working holiday, particularly last year being the 100th anniversary (centennial) but it was a Sunday.
This year, July 27, 2015 falls on a Monday and it may be declared non-working holiday
As of now, Malacanang declared July 27 as a WORKING holiday though and this may not change as it nears :P
Expect heavy traffic on NLEX on July 27 particularly near Bocaue and also EDSA Monumento area

How to Get to Boracay from Puerto Princesa, Palawan

2. From Iloilo Airport, take a taxi to Tagbak Transport Terminal (along MacArthur Highway in Jaro, Iloilo City). If you have time and less budget, take Iloilo Airport Shuttle to SM City Mall (fare PhP50/Pax ) then take SM City Mall Jeepney to bus Station (Tagbak terminal fare: PhP10.00/Pax)
3. At Tagbak terminal, take a bus to Caticlan/Boracay. Travel time to Caticlan from Iloilo is around 4-5 hours and will pass by Kalibo (Bus fare: around PhP350.00) Iloilo to Boracay Bus (to inquire on trip schedules and bus fares)

Victory at the Volvo Ocean Race
During the 2011-2012 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, I joined IWC at the starting line of the race in Alicante, Spain to meet their newly sponsored crew, Team Abu Dhabi, and see the race kick-off its nine month journey. It was IWC's first year as the official time-keeper and Abu Dhabi's first bid at winning the 38,000 mile race around the world. It was also my first time attending a race I had followed for some time.
Alicante, the small coastal town in southeast Spain that sits between Cartagena and Valencia, serves as the starting line and command center for each edition of the Volvo Ocean Race. During the weeks leading up to the official start of the race, the seaside town is brimming with fans, press, and curious visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the boats. During our visit we had the opportunity to meet those at the helm of IWC along with the crew of Team Abu Dhabi. Hailing from around the globe, the Abu Dhabi crew was made up of some of the world's best sailors. They offered a tour of their Italian designed Volvo Open 70 boat and shed some light on the conditions each sailor faces over the course of the race.
That year's attempt was marred by an unfortunate start for Team Abu Dhabi. They quickly met disaster in the first leg of the race, breaking the mast on their boat, Azzam, only a few hours after departing Alicante en route to Cape Town. This set-back created an insurmountable blow that rippled throughout their future positioning among the six other teams. Holding fast, they fought their way thorough the entirety of the event, but that initial mishap plagued them until the end, finishing fifth overall.
Earlier today, the 2014-2015 edition of the VOR came to a close in Gotheberg, Sweden. After nine months and over 38,000 nautical miles, this will cap off what many who follow the race, have considered one of the closest races to-date. Each leg has seen dramatic finishes, along with a few tragic mishaps. While the fight has been close, team Abu Dhabi have stuck to their guns and made up for the set backs they experienced when I last saw them head off in 2011. Skippered by Ian Walker – one of Britain's most decorated sailors – Abu Dhabi have maintained a strategy of repeated podium finishes throughout their most recent endeavor. Not always number one, but consistently within the top three, they've kept constant pressure on their competitors and rivals keeping a strong positioning throughout the duration of the race.
After competing what's often billed as the Everest of sailing, Team Abu Dhabi graced the podium one last time to be crowned the 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race Champions.
Sailor or not, this event is worthy of respect. Spending nine months on a boat with eight other people in some of the worst and most dangerous conditions, it isn't for everyone. The race is inherently full of risk and known to be one of the most physically and mentally challenging sporting events to have ever existed. Just finishing is worth recognition, and this year I'm excited to see the team I came to support and follow back in 2011 raise the trophy. [Volvo Ocean Race]

The Salt of the Earth
"I looked through a lens and ended up abandoning everything else." – Sebastião Salgado.
The commitment to chasing the opportunity to do what makes you happy is rare and absent from the DNA of most people. The motivation to take on risk. Risk of going broke, risk of being embarrassed, risk of being forced to start over. Subjecting oneself to these possibilities with the outcome of reaping reward is unlikely. Against the odds, Sebastião Salgado followed his instinct and found his reward through the lens of a camera.
The Brazilian photojournalist is the subject of a new film, The Salt of the Earth, directed by Wim Wenders with his son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, acting as co-director. Rarely are the stories behind images told, especially while a photographer is still alive. In Salt of the Earth we are offered a first-hand glimpse into Mr. Salgado's life, which spans from his native country of Brazil to his adopted home of France and – over a 40 year career – around the globe many times in between.
Trained as an economist, Mr. Salgado's opinions of the world were forged through this lens while traveling the globe as a consultant, often visiting Africa on behalf of the World Bank. These experiences would have a large influence on his later work as a photographer. It wasn't long before life as an economist grew old and while living in Paris he turned his back on the safety of a career and instead pursued his passion. Following an investment into expensive camera equipment, Mr. Salgado chased any opportunity that presented itself. Weddings, portraits, and newspaper work were all fair game as the emerging photographer found his focus. Within five years he joined the infamous team at Magnum Photos.
During his time at Magnum (25 years) and his subsequent departure to form his own photo agency (Amazonas Images) in 1994, Salgado would document some of world's most challenging social issues and atrocities. War, famine, genocide, and workers in under developed countries were many of his subjects. Often times telling the stories that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Images of mine workers in Brazil (above) are among a series that include some of his most famous photographs. And while each photo's subject offered the ability to create an image which evokes strong emotion, the scale and scope of these projects are equally as impressive. Mr. Salgado's commitment would usually span years, producing self assigned projects The Other Americas, Sahel, Workers, and Migrations. Four years, six years, eight years are durations casually mentioned, leaving anyone to wonder how this could be possible.
Throughout the film, Mr. Salgado's confident modesty and story telling is addictive. Over the course of his life and career as a photographer, he has seen and experienced more than most people will in ten lifetimes. Yet, while having experienced and lived among some of the mankind's worst horrors for years at a time, he still possess a compassionate optimism. However, seeing the worst the world had to offer took its toll and caused Mr. Salgado to shift his focus towards work that didn't involve death. His latest large-scale project, Genesis, explores uninterrupted nature and remote indigenous tribal communities. And as with its predecessors, Genesis would take eight years to complete and produce some of his most striking images to date.
On a personal note, this film strikes a chord. Having also left behind the safety net of a nine-to-five profession to explore what makes me happy, I understand the need for change as well as the impending risk vs. reward. It's always motivating to see someone experience success doing what they love and what they're meant to do. The Salt of the Earth is the purest expression of this point. Not only are the images and content truly striking and inspiring (and worth being viewed on the large screen), but the same can be said of the person behind the lens. Making his point clear, once you find out what it is you need to do, the only thing left is abandoning everything else.
On the Run: Tracksmith
Let's face it, for most of us, running isn't something we necessarily look forward to. Personally, I've really only wanted to run if chased and have just recently maintained a consistent running schedule – meaning more than twice a month. On top of the labor involved with something that's suppose to offer betterment to your health, the clothing options aren't very appealing and are often aesthetically challenged. Filled with bright-colored, overly tech heavy garments, the playing field for something you don't mind wearing during exercise is sparse.
New England based Tracksmith is flipping the script on running apparel. Founded by a former collegiate runner and the co-founder of the popular British cycling company, Rapha, Tracksmith is combining both old & new to create something you actually wouldn't mind wearing while working out. The clothing offers the perfect marriage between technology and comfort – think wicking, breathable fabrics – and attractive design. And while old school collegiate inspired run wear looks good, it also doesn't hurt that those at the helm have decided to produce everything stateside, with factories in Mass and New York – well-played.

Consisting of mostly items for the home with a few wearables mixed-in, Brimfield has the bases covered. Vintage and antique stores are largely hit or miss. Sometimes determined by geography, most times by taste, the determination is typically one that's easy. A city known for its great architecture, Chicago isn't an obvious hot bed for vintage home goods.
Brimfield, which also shares its name with the super popular antique event in Brimfield, Mass., pulls no punches. Like the event in Massachusetts and unlike similar stores nearby, the selection offered at Brimfield has been thought out. The space is stacked floor to ceiling with inventory consisting of mostly mid-century finds that pay homage to the midwest. Fortunately it's well contained and excellently merchandised, taking a lot of the leg work out of finding something good. And though there's logic to the arrangement, you should still expect to dig around for that rare find you can't leave without.
In total there is 4,000 square feet over three floors, with the third floor serving as a very well curated event space. While Andersonville may be a hike for some, it's worth the trip. The surrounding neighborhood has plenty of other distractions alongside several stores with similar offerings, Brimfield the clear stand out amongst the group. Visit Brimfield at 5219 N. Clark Street, Chicago.
A Year In, A Year Out: A Look at 2014
This was a great year, full of positive change and a lot of travel that took us all over the map (almost 90,000 miles according to my Delta skymiles account). Here are a few photos from the road, thanks for steadfast support and we're looking forward to another excellent year with more change both here on TSE and elsewhere. Happy New Year.

Dispatches: A Scottish Holiday
While most people embrace the tradition of Thanksgiving and the annual get together, filled with food, football and gluttonous stomach cramps, we tend to embrace discounted international flights and businesses being open during America's November holiday. Keeping up with traditions, the sights were set on Scotland for this year's Thanksgiving abroad.
Having never visited England's neighbor to the north we were eager to see & do as much as possible within a few days. The docket consisted of a short visit to the capital city, Edinburgh, followed by an exploratory loop through the Highlands and the Isle of Skye. The itinerary was ambitious to say the least, especially considering the highlands loop came along with a suggested two-week timetable. Paying no attention, we held the course.
Edinburgh is a confident city that doesn't need to brag. Set around a hilltop castle that's visible from nearly every vantage point within the city, the atmosphere is modest, organized and welcoming. It's easy to feel out-of-place in foreign cities, while the exact opposite can be said of Edinburgh, where the balance of foreign and familiar run even keel. Naturally, a decent mix of good pubs are peppered throughout town, each offering a respectable selection of scotch and local fare. For some finer alternatives for both food and shopping (think: tartan, tweed and scotch), head south toward the National Museum.
While Edinburgh is easily one of the most visitable cities out there, the Highlands pull no punches and may very well be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Within an hour outside of Edinburgh, just past Glasgow, the real magic happens. The scenery is endless, untouched and in many ways, perfect. Changing with each turn, the landscape is rugged and unforgiving. Low hanging clouds cast endless shadows across miles of unpopulated land, less the occasional herd of sheep, farm or castle. After a day on the road and a ferry from Malliag you're on Skye where similar to the mainland, nature calls the shots. Raw and barren, Skye seems almost fake. During the winter months, the light stands in a state of constant afternoon with the sun setting not long after lunch. The whole place is surreal.
After a week of walking and driving, it was clear why people recommended a stay of two weeks or more. Our traditional escape scratched the surface at best but offers the perfect segue into a return trip. The second round will afford a glimpse into all that was missed – textiles, scotch distilleries and a ride aboard the Royal Scotsman easily make the cut. Until next time.
If you go: We recommend staying at the Balmoral Hotel (Edinburgh), it's central, efficient and has a good bar. On Skye, bed & breakfasts are the only real options and Tigh an Dochais tops the list. Blackfriars (Edinburgh) has a terrific menu that changes regularly. Drinks (Edinburgh), although it's on the Royal Mile and comes with all things touristic, Deacon Brodies Tavern is great, on the nicer side, the bar at the Balmoral or The Scotsman will do just fine. In term of things to see, visit the castle in Edinburgh (it's worth it), Dovecot Studios offers a first hand glimpse into all that goes into woven textiles and the Royal Museum (pictured) is well worth a stop. On Skye, visit the Talisker Distillery, it's among the oldest in Scotland and the only one on Skye.
Happy Thanksgiving
Store Report: Heritage General Store
Although the states are far behind our European counterparts, the two-wheeled commute has taken hold stateside. Chicago is no exception with the amount of people traveling via bike increasing exponentially over the last few years.
Similar to a lot of cities across the country, both large and small, Chicago has taken hints and worked to endorse commuting by bike. Through the addition of bike lanes to the city's expansive grid along with a fully functional bike share program, the windy city has fully embraced a greener commute. While this is just the start, and many will tell you it can be much better (more bike lanes, less pot holes), it's eons ahead of where it was only a few short years ago. Today you'll see more than bike messengers on the street navigating traffic.
Meeting the growing demand is Heritage General Store. Located on Chicago's north side in Lakeview, Heritage subscribes to the program of doing things locally and doing them well. One part bike shop, one part coffee shop, similar to other places who blend the two, this marriage makes sense. Rooted to the neighborhood, the shop (both coffee and bike) is welcoming and offers a selection of cycling products and apparel on top of Stumptown brews. There is neither fuss nor pretension.
While the atmosphere is casual and comfortable, the bikes aren't just for decoration. They're meant to be ridden and are built to not only to survive city streets, but four seasons in Chicago, which is no joke. Fabricated further uptown, each bike uses American steel for the frame with all the final welding and assembly done locally. And while everything is done within a Chicago area code, they're also fully customizable. Given the price point and purpose, this makes total sense for a city with an increasing cycling community.

Explainer: How America Redistributes Wealth, State by State
When it comes to divvying up tax revenue, states with richer citizens end up footing the bill for those with lower per capita income.
It's A Free Country blogger Steffen Schmidt touched on this last week, following a report from The Economist on the "fiscal transfer" phenomenon that effectively makes some states creditors and others debtors, echoing the Eurozone.
Essentially, you can subtract the amount of federal spending in a state from the amount of federal tax revenue collected from the state. If that number is negative, the state is getting more than it pays in. If the number is positive, the state pays more into the system than it receives.
By this measure, Delaware is our most "generous" state, paying about $211 billion in federal taxes over the last 20 years while only receiving about $86 in federal spending. New Mexico "mooches" most, paying $115 billion in taxes since 1990 but getting $316 billion back over the same period of time.
There are two interesting things to note here. First, creditor states have higher per capita incomes. Of the top 25 states for per capita income, 17 are creditors, giving more to the federal government than they get. Of the bottom 25 states for per capita income, all but four are debtors.
So in a sense, the redistribution of wealth that makes Republican lawmakers so panicky is already happening. Money from states with a richer citizenry traditionally goes to states with a poorer population, whether to pay the salaries of government employees, to pay for retirement or disability services, or to provide grants for special projects.
The second interesting thing: Debtor states with lower per capita income tend to be red. Mississippi, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana and other states that usually vote Republican get more federal money than they spend in taxes. Liberal enclaves like New York, California and Connecticut see the least bang for buck in their backyard.
There are exceptions, of course. Maryland and Virginia are wealthy creditors that lean right, while Maine and West Virginia are poorer debtors that swing left from time to time. But overall, the trend sticks: how is it that the anti-spending, anti-tax, anti-wealth-redistributing party tends to represent the states that benefit most from tax revenues collected elsewhere?

Technology blog + Apple WWDC
New Macbooks, new features in iOS and new products in Mac OS X unveiled at the WWDC event in Moscone Centre in San Francisco. By Charles Arthur
Charles Arthur and Jemima Kiss: We follow the events unfolding during Apple's keynote address on the stage at the Moscone Center in San Francisco where Jobs is expected to reveal the details behind iCloud
Charles Arthur: iCloud, iOS 5, Lion are all set to make an appearance at the Apple keynote, but with precisely what features? And does an iPhone 5 figure in the 'likely' or 'improbable' column?
Is Apple going to release a new iPhone - or two? Will it release a tablet computer? A "netbook"? Will Steve Jobs, on medical leave, appear on stage? Bobbie Johnson liveblogs from the floor of the Worldwide Developers conference (WWDC) in the Moscone centre, San Francisco
Mahalo sums it up in a minute - or you can watch the whole, whole thing
Photos from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference seem to suggest the Mac Mini is getting a nuclear facelift
Apple has announced that it's delaying the launch of Leopard, the next version of its OSX operating system, until October. That's at least six months after it had been intended to appear; the scheduling of the Worldwide Developers Conference for June had implied that it would launch then.
Just went to Steve Jobs's blog, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, Aged 51 1/2, to get the facts about his underwhelming WWDC performance (even Wired's top Apple Cultist Leander Kahney wrote Has Steve Jobs Lost His Magic?) only to find that all the earlier content has disappeared. The blog has been renamed In Memorium and just says: "RIP. It's gone...."
With Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) opening tomorrow (Monday), it hardly seems worth speculating at the moment, but MacRumours has Rumor Roundup.

Sweetener upsets Vitaminwater fans
Coca-Cola Co. changed the formula for its full-calorie Vitaminwater in May, and the new bottles have been hitting shelves nationwide ever since.
Previously, the drinks were sweetened with a mix of crystalline fructose and sugar. Now they are sweetened with a mix of sugar and stevia, a natural sweetener companies use to reduce the sugar content in drinks. The new Vitaminwater still has the same 120 calories per bottle, however.
The change has prompted fans of the drink to inundate Vitaminwater's Facebook page with complaints about the taste, and demands that the company bring back the old formula.
A spokeswoman for Coca-Cola, Danielle Dubois, said the company loves hearing from its consumers and has been listening to the feedback via social media and its call line.
"We really like our new formulation and hope consumers do too. That said, we always have our ear to the ground and genuinely appreciate all feedback," she said.
When asked why Coca-Cola made the change, Dubois said the company is "always innovating and evolving our products and packaging."
The company, based in Atlanta, already used stevia in Vitaminwater Zero, a diet version of the drink that has no calories.
Last year, Vitaminwater's sales volume in the U.S. was down 18 percent, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest. The decline seems to be in part because the enthusiasm for enhanced water from a few years ago has cooled, said John Sicher, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest.
Sicher noted that Coca-Cola may have been trying to innovate with Vitaminwater to return it to stronger performance.
Coca-Cola bought Glaceau, the parent company of Vitaminwater and Smartwater, for $4.1 billion in 2007.

Awareness of male breast cancer is low and most men do not even know they are at risk despite an increase in cases, reveals new research from the University of Leeds.
Breast cancer is very much seen as a female disease with around 48,000 diagnoses in women in the UK each year. However around 340 men, equivalent to 30 football teams will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year and around 70 men will die.
Funded by Breast Cancer Campaign and Yorkshire Cancer Research, University of Leeds researchers reviewed male breast cancer cases in four Western countries; England, Scotland, Canada and Australia. In England, the incidence of male breast cancer was seen to rise over a 20 year period: from 185 cases in 1986 to 277 cases in 2006. This corresponds to a rise of one third from 0.5 to 0.7 cases per 100,000 of the population.
Pinpointing an exact cause for this increase is difficult, according to Dr Valerie Speirs, who led the study. "Lifestyle changes over the latter decades of the 20th century, leading to increased obesity, physical inactivity and development of a binge drinking culture may be contributing factors. Some of the same inherited genetic changes that increase the risk of women developing breast cancer are also thought to influence risk in men," she said.
Most of the information used to diagnose and treat men with breast cancer comes from studies of female breast cancer. The new data pointing towards a rise in cases, published in the on-line journal Breast Cancer Research, provides impetus to study the biology of male breast cancer in more detail. Men need to get the right information, treatment and emotional support, the researchers concluded.
Dr Speirs and her colleagues now plan to examine the genes and proteins involved in male breast cancers to determine whether there are similarities or differences with female breast cancer. This may help pinpoint gender-specific differences which can be expl

Severance from this sidereal bliss.
Inertiatic pandemic spreads like fire.
Ashes to remain on the funeral pyre.
Cardiac wraiths now mar his visage.
His iris falls upon a sapient image.
Mascara lips; scissors and suture
Tunnel spread: he is their future.
Ashes now remain on the funeral pyre.
Illusions are lost beneath the warm mire.
Prosthetic limb.
Concentric whims.
Carpal snare, levitating queens.
Parachute fall is the only means
to escape the erudite whirlpool.
Another added to the toll, a facet of the jewel.
Prosthetic limb.
Concentric whims.
Shaking hands with
the undertow again.
