So the weather's changing and you need some motorcycle chaps. It can be a hassle finding the right pair so let me make it easy on you. The River Road Moto Leather Chaps are a basic pair of leather motorcycle chaps that have no frills, just like you want.
They've been constructed of a durable, imported leather to give you abrasion resistance in case you happen to go down and they're super flexible while in the saddle, due to the power stretch panels on the inner thighs. To make sure they fit you just right there's also an adjustable belt. And so you can easily slide them on & off, the River Road Moto Leather Chaps have full length zippers down the sides plus snaps at the bottom, along with a mesh lining, which hits just below the knee, that won't cling to your jeans. And we know you've got your cell phone with you, so there are two cargo pockets to stash your stuff while out riding.
These leather motorcycle chaps by River Road are just one of many that we carry for you. If these aren't what you want, then visit us at CompAcc.com to check out all the motorcycle gear available.

D-Link releases next generation four-port AC750 Wi-Fi routers
updated 04:24 pm EDT, Wed May 14, 2014
Router features dual-band technology, four Gigabit ports, tie-in with mydlink app
A new Wi-Fi router has been released from D-Link bringing dual-band Wi-Fi technology to the home with a splash of color. The next generation of the AC750 dual-band Gigabit cloud router features a cylindrical design similar to D-Link's gaming routers, but features some of the same technology found in the company's recent AC750 portable router and battery solution.
"With the launch of our new line of AC750 Wi-Fi Routers, customers not only get a powerful home network capable of supporting the most demanding applications, they also have a stylish device they can proudly display on the desk rather than buried underneath it," says D-Link's vice president of marketing Daniel Kelley.
Features of the new AC750 router include dual-band wireless with speeds of up to 433 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band in addition to four 10/100/1000 Gigabit ports for wired connections. The router supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and 802.3u wireless communications.
Users can also connect to the router through D-Link's mydlink cloud service app for smartphones or tablets. Through the app users can access files through a USB port on the device that works with Shareport or view current statistics on web traffic, websites visited or setup e-mail alerts for unauthorized connections.
The router offers 64/128 bit WEP security as well as WPA and WPA 2 access protocols. Additionally the router can make use of a demilitarized zone (DMZ), firewall or guest zone. The AC750 is also IPv6 ready.
The D-Link AC750 Wi-Fi router is now available in four colors through Amazon for $80.

2011 Recipient | AIA Housing Awards
North Beach Residence | Notes of Interest
The design brief called for a very low-impact, easy-to-maintain, summer home that provides necessary programmatic functions with minimum distractions from the land and the view. Sustainability, durability and longevity were also considered critical elements of the program.
The home is just over 2,000 square feet and includes a primary residence and two guest suites accessed from the deck outside. It is located on a northwesterly oriented beach fronting the Strait of Georgia, on a site that includes many second-growth douglas firs, a beech grove, and a grassy meadow with good solar exposure. For over a thousand years this site was a winter camp location for the Lummi Indians, and due to its archeological significance no footing excavation could take place on the site. Further, its location in a federally designated flood plain required that the structure be raised off the ground several feet.
The design response situates the structure among the trees directly between the beach and the meadow, with walls of glass opening out to both; no trees were removed. While actual shelter is provided, the experience is of nearly complete openness to the environment, with a minimized structure meant to disappear from view. Steel columns minimize visible structure from the interior, while metal-clad wall elements provide a bold form when seen from the exterior. A matt-slab, poured right over the grass, was utilized to avoid excavation - and the foundation recessed to minimize the footprint. The resulting 'floating' form both literally and figuratively responds to the client's desire for the project to be light on the land.
The combination of a matt-slab on grade and a minimized footprint provides for a minimal disturbance of existing groundwater flow, which is critical in a near-shore habitat. The roof is vegetated, which reduces storm-water runoff. Roof runoff is collected and stored in two 5,000 gallon tanks for use in irrigation and to flush toilets, further reducing stormwater runoff while also reducing potable water use. Potable hot water and hydronic heating are aided by solar collectors on the roof, and PV panels above the vegetable garden provide supplemental electricity. The home is intended for occupancy from May through October, and it is estimated that these solar systems may result in 'net zero' electricity use over the course of a full year.

Jury Comments
Its sensitivity to the site is paramount: its orientation, the lightness with which it sits on the site, the compact nature of project, and its artful reference to vernacular typologies.
Masterful footprint in siting and sustainability.

Recursion, Reflexivity, Feedback Loops & the Fed
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On September 5, 2007 @ 6:59 am In Credit,Derivatives,Federal Reserve,Inflation,Investing,Markets,Psychology | Comments Disabled
chart courtesy of Meir Atazur
I love when graphics can depict a lot of information elegantly. The above chart (via Meir Atazur) concisely conveys three data points: The average monthly return for each year over the past 23 or so, the average September return, and the SPX.
Now, any good statistician will tell you that 2 dozen instances is likely to be an insufficient number to draw a significant conclusion from. However, I find the chart interesting nonetheless, as it reveals somewhat of the quandry both Traders and the Fed finds themselves in.
Traders know this can be a volatile month. And with the Punch Bowl Caucus [2] pleading for rate cuts, stocks have surged — on the belief that rate cuts are about to arrive.
As the market rallies up towards its old highs — the S&P500 (SPX) is now about ~4% of its ALLTIME peak — it becomes harder and harder for the FOMC to give the market what it wants — another hit of that sweet, sweet junk. (YEAH, that's the spot . . . Ummmm, good stuff).
The last thing Chairman Ben wants to do is cut rates, as he fears of reinflating the various Greenspan-created asset bubbles.
And before you start screaming Fed Fund Futures, note that since January 2006, there have been half a dozen instances of where the futures were forecasting a cut that never came to pass.
As Bill King notes:
"Bernanke's really big problem is the busted system, which means previous flows of credit have been altered. Certain entities can no longer get credit no matter how much credit that the Fed creates.
Stocks and commodities are rallying smartly because much of the credit that the Fed is creating now flows to fewer players and those players have fewer vehicles to play. This is how STAGFLATION turns into an inflationary recession and income distribution concentrates even further."
Today's Ahead of the Tape [3] column adds that we remain as "data dependent" as ever:
"When he spoke at the Federal Reserve's symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Friday, Chairman Ben Bernanke cautioned that recent financial-market turmoil has made charting the economy's course more difficult than usual.
"Consequently, we will pay particularly close attention to the timeliest indicators, as well as information gleaned from our business and banking contacts around the country," he said. That puts extra weight on today's "beige book" report — the collection of on-the-ground business anecdotes that the Federal Reserve's 12 regional banks put together eight times a year.
If the beige book in any way mirrors what some car dealers, trash haulers and diamond dealers have to say, then the economy — while by no means booming — has so far absorbed the hit from financial-market woes. That's good news for Main Street. But it might not be great for Wall Street, where hopes for a Fed rate cut depend in part on a dimming outlook for growth."
Thus, a cut is far from the done deal its been described as. I give it a 55/45 chance — barely better than even money.
'Beige Book' Spoiler Alert: Don't Bet on Cut

Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET is the deadline to extend players who received franchise tags in the offseason. According to CBS Sports Charley Casserly, Dolphins defensive tackle Paul Solai and Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson won't be joining the number of players who were franchise tagged and also received a long-term extension from their respective clubs.
Reports are beginning to circulate that Ngata could receive a "blockbuster" contract, however.
Solai, Jackson, Ngata and Browns kicker Phil Dawson are the only remaining players who received a franchise tag and who were not given long-term deals.
Given the current timeframe for completing a deal -- roughly two hours -- it seems pretty unlikely that any of the players will actually see big money before the offseason.
Dawson, in his late 30's, wouldn't represent good value for the Browns anyway, and is highly unlikely to get a long-term deal.
Ngata is arguably the Ravens best defensive player, and you can be sure that Ravens want to get him signed to a lengthy contract. They're running short on time, but Aaron Wilson of the Cook County Times reports that the Ravens are "on the verge of striking a blockbuster deal" with Ngata before the 4 p.m. deadline Tuesday.
Jackson's lack of a deal is the least surprising news, given the discord between he and the Chargers during the past several years as A.J. Smith has steadfastly refused to give Jackson big-time money, and Jackson held out for 10 games in 2010.
Though the players would become unrestricted free agents after this year, they're all still eligible to be franchise-tagged for a second consecutive year.

A.J. Smith is sure stubborn and dumb at the same time, V-Jax is the team's gest wide receiver, and i think he deserves to get paid. Hope it won't go bad like last year's dispute. As for the Dolphins it looks like Paul Soliai from what i think when they drafted Frank Kearse, more likely eventually his replacement for next year.

Hawaii players attempt to catch a hail mary pass against Fresno State on Saturday at Aloha Stadium.
- Filed Under
Fresno State football coach Tim DeRuyter said these close wins probably aren't good for his heart.
Against Boise State, a 41-40 win for the No. 23 Bulldogs, it was a swatted Broncos fourth-down pass that sealed it in the final minute. That came after Fresno State's season-opening win against Rutgers that was settled in the final play - a failed Scarlet Knights two-point conversion in overtime.
It came down to the wire, again, against Hawaii - where it took an L.J. Jones interception in the final play of the game to preserve a 42-37 win, riding on the shoulders of a defense that Jones said "can bend ...

Clad tidings for Newcastle
Trent Concrete has negotiated a £1.32 million follow-on cladding contract for an extension to the Citygate development in Newcastle upon Tyne, designed by Ryder. The client was keen to involve the same team again following its successful work on the previous phase. The extension continues the six-storey office building and seven-storey residential development on St James Boulevard opposite the Newcastle United football stadium.
Trent's contract coprises 5,300m2 of acid-etched white reconstructed stone to match the first phase of the development, completed in 2001. The 470 panels form a spandrel and mullion combination to glazed areas, and incorporate large flat panels to flank and gable sections. Trent is also producing 650m2 of lowlevel plinths in a shallow-etched grey mix incorporating mica sand for extra sparkle, and additional feature panels in a black mix to match the glazing panels.
The office building will become the new headquarters for the Government Offices for the North East.

The National Arbor Day Foundation has recognized the City of West Palm Beach as a "Tree City USA," honoring the City's commitment to planting and preserving trees as part of an ongoing community forestry program. This marks the seventeenth year West Palm Beach has received this national recognition.
"Trees make a world of difference in our neighborhoods, our parks and our public spaces," said Mayor Lois J. Frankel. "With our tree program, beautification projects and waterfront revitalization, we remain committed to providing lush green space for the public to enjoy."
In recent months, the City has undertaken major tree-planting and beautification projects throughout the City, including projects on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, Northlake Boulevard (shown in photo) and Flagler Drive.
The Arbor Day Foundation recognizes that trees in cities help clean the air, conserve soil and water, moderate temperature and bring nature in to our daily lives. Trees are a vital component of infrastructure and provide both environmental and economic benefits.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the U.S.D.A. Forest Service.

Here's a weird question! Scroll down a bit for the question part!I don't know who keeps up with the blog (nobody) (here's the blog: MaxTheCyclist.wordpress.com) but after over 6,000 miles of traveling accident-free, I crashed and bent my bike's fork. That grounds me for 2 weeks while I replace it, so it makes traveling across Canada impossible before snow hits. Bummer!I'm thinking instead I'll buy a ticket to Arizona or Nevada (undecided) and do some desert riding into Colorado and Northern California, and then up to Vancouver. Since it's the west coast, I believe snowfall should be mild until november and december at least.THE QUESTIONI can't really count on trees for hammock camping given where I'm going. I need a tent! Anything new I don't know about, or a real gem you've been testing?-1P Tent-Lightweight (2-3lbs)-Less than $300 or popular on Gear Swap? Or available from one of you guys?-Good for the desert, mild (under 6 inches) snowfall, and everything in betweenBonus points if it's a color other than grey! Thanks!
Edited by mdilthey on 09/02/2013 20:21:13 MDT.
Tarp!Trailstar or Duomid or similar. You'll have to buy some poles.
Maybe the MLD cricket. Lightweight. You can get it with an inner or use a bivy with it. And you can get that nice bright yellow, or a more subdued brown. Not sure how it would handle snow, but it seems like it could deal with a little. I plan on getting one soon and using it as my solo desert shelter. The trailstar or duomid would be great as well.
Edited by Catalyst on 09/02/2013 19:48:40 MDT.
Max,Shame to hear about that.The Trailstar should be fine for a small bit of snow, you may need to give the canopy a kick during the night though, the Duomid would be a bit better for static snow loading.Here is a pic of two Trailsars on a BPL snow shoe trip a while back.Actually the Duomid or a Trailstar may not be best if your on a bike as they use trekking poles, you might be betterwith a Scarp 1 or Moment Dw.
Edited by stephenm on 09/02/2013 20:17:31 MDT.
Ok, hmm...So tarp looks like the way to go. I am extremely on board with this.Two problems:1. I'm home for 1-3 weeks, not 8 weeks. I can't order new from MLD.2. No poles.For the poles situation, I have two ideas. First off, do you think I could set up the Duomid using a Tripod? I use an Oben: http://www.amazon.com/Oben-AC-1410-4-Section-Aluminum-Tripod/dp/B00653AOHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378174381&sr=8-1&keywords=oben+4-section+tripodThe tripod only has an 11lb load capacity on the ball head, but it's sturdy aluminum, so maybe the strength of the legs is higher? What's a 40mph wind gust in a storm exert on a tarp pole? I wasn't going to bring the tripod, but having it along would be a real treat (I love night photography) and having it be dual-purpose might be enough to drag it along.ALTERNATIVELYCan I set up a tarp effectively using a bike as "poles", and have it withstand high wind?
Edited by mdilthey on 09/02/2013 20:19:33 MDT.
Oh also, not to double-post, but do you think my MLD Ultralight hammock tarp is big enough / shaped well enough to use for this?
I would get a Tarptent Scarp with the solid inner. Fully modular and easy to set up.The bit about the snow. You have until November until there will be snow threatening.
Good to know, Dave. I figure I'll get adventurous in high altitudes where given the chance and then it'll be snowier. I'm trying not to over-plan, but rather, play it by ear. It worked great for Montreal!
I think the tripod idea could work. If it's a couple inches short you could easily find a rock to help get a little extra height. It might be worth calling Ron up and seeing if he could work some magic for ya.
Nice picture, Stephen! :)
If all else fails, our Pubs are good up here.I seem to remember that you are quite tall. If you are over 6 foot with a high loft sleeping bag, you will touch the ends of the DuoMid. I had a Trailstar which was awesome, but wasn't keen on using it in snow because of the unsupported large panels. A larger / longer mid would be a decent choice.With something like the Golite Shangri-La 3, which is taller, you would have space for yourself, gear, AND bike.....Other options would be the MLD SuperMid.
It is Travis,I was trying to remember if it was you or Tim that took it as I am in it :-)
I am tall. I thought I was 6'2" thanks to Dr. Han's measurement when I was 19, but at 23 I appear to have shrunk to 6'1". I still tell short girls i'm 6'2", though. From their perspective they can't tell the difference. Don't spread the word out there until after I've left.I am a notoriously easy sleeper, and I tolerate imperfections in shelter systems like a seasoned expert. So, I would say barring extremes, ignore my height as it hasn't been an issue so far in anything. Not concerned at all with covering the bike (he's a big boy anyways, 59cm). I wouldn't mind using it to rig a tarp in the desert, as that would absolutely fill me with childlike wonder and glee.So, would a traditional rectangular tarp actually be best for rigging in a diamond shape with the bike at one end and three tie-outs on the ground, with maybe a center tripod pole? Or would a gusty storm soak my sleeping bag quick? I hear the west coast is windy. I think I prefer protection as I love storms and aim to sleep in them (as some users may remember).Right now the Duo-Mid and Trailstar are tops on my list, but beggars can't be choosers so I have to see what I can find on swap.
Edited by mdilthey on 09/02/2013 20:49:17 MDT.
I'd nominate the Tarptent Moment DW. It's a very well thought out, proper tent. It has bug protection if that's something you want, dual vestibules (to keep panniers out of the rain/snow/whatever, if you're not using Ortliebs or something), and I believe a solid inner is now available to avoid sand in the desert and retain heat in the snow (as an alternative to a fully mesh inner with bathtub floor.It only takes two stakes at a minimum, it's relatively light, and pretty simple to set up (like 3 minutes tops). It also comes in a relatively small package. I have one for touring and I like it a great deal. Though I will admit that I'm rather lazy, and the prospect of pitching a tarp in a driving rain, howling winds, or after a long day's ride doesn't exactly thrill me.It is grey though.
I think I found a solution, and it's thanks to you guys.I'm going to use my MLD Ultralight Hammock Tarp for this, using the bike as a "pole" on one end and then guying out the other 3 corners. Since I have Ortliebs, I only need room for me.Now, I think this tarp is a little small for a serious storm (I had concerns about that when using it as a hammock tarp, too, but I ignored them). If I set up like this I will likely get some wind spray.To supplement it, I'm going to use a water resistant bivy bag. Since it's cool at night in the desert, condensation shouldn't be a problem.Ideally I'd go with MLD's Ultralight Bivy, but ron tells me there's a (perfectly understandable) 6 week wait time on one. Instead, I found the North Face Simple Bivy.I don't particularly like North Face anymore, but this bivy looks fine. It weighs 16oz, has a bug net over my face, is highly breathable and water resistant (not waterproof) and should serve my purpose just fine. With some haggling, I got it for $99.95 with free shipping and free returns.If it doesn't look good in my backyard, I'll probably grab something like the MLD Patrol Shelter or Trailstar since they ship the next day.Thanks for the help! I'm a tarp camper now!

Emergency Preparedness
According to the American Red Cross, some 45,000 disasters, man-made and natural, occur in the United States each year. But too few emergency planners have the expertise necessary to ensure that preparations make adequate provisions for disabilities. To address this need, the NOD's Emergency Preparedness Initiative worked with government agencies at all levels to ensure that emergency plans are inclusive and complete.
Whether your business is just starting a workplace emergency program, or if you have a highly developed and integrated emergency operations center, these resources can help you assess your emergency plans and develop protocols that protect all employees.
The disability inclusive emergency preparedness planning has two main objectives:
- Ensure that the functional needs of people with disabilities are adequately addressed prior to an emergency, enabling emergency responders to make informed decisions regarding the best use of available resources.
- Ensure that people with disabilities are included in the emergency-planning process at all levels of government and the private sector so they can offer their insights, knowledge, and resourcefulness.
Resources and Reports
Partners in Preparedness
The Partners in Preparedness brochure is designed to:
- Encourage emergency management professionals to consider the varied needs of people with disabilities in all levels of their planning and response activities, and to actively involve members of this community in their efforts; and
- Raise awareness among people with disabilities about what they can do to prepare for their own safety and survival during emergencies.
- Download the Partners in Preparedness Brochure (PDF Version)
Guide for Emergency Planners, Managers, and Responders
NOD's first emergency preparedness guide highlights key disability concerns for officials and experts responsible for emergency planning in their communities. The guide is also designed to help emergency managers, planners, and responders make the best use of resources to include all citizens of the community in emergency preparedness plans.

Disaster Readiness Tips for People with Disabilities
To be better prepared as a nation, we all must do our part to plan for disasters. All individuals, with or without disabilities, can decrease the impact of a disaster by taking steps to prepare before an event occurs. Download the brochure to learn more:

Preparing Makes Sense Brochure Series
In conjunction with the US Department of Homeland Security and AARP, NOD assisted in the development of the Preparing Makes Sense brochure series, which highlights the key preparedness steps senior citizens, Americans with disabilities and other special needs, and their families and caretakers should take before emergencies occur.

Special Needs for Katrina Evacuees Project
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, NOD deployed teams of disability specialists and first responders to the Gulf region to perform rapid assessments of the special needs and living conditions of Katrina survivors with disabilities. The findings of this Special Needs for Katrina Evacuees (SNAKE) Project were released in two congressional briefings.

Q. Whats been your favorite concert on your Truth About Love tour?
Its been exciting starting up in the U.S., where my friends and family can come. Its always fun playing for L.A., my second hometown.
Q. How do you stay healthy?
I try to eat really clean, and I work out a lot. My show is so physically demanding that I have to keep a strong core or Im toast. Sleep is always interesting, especially with a little girl [daughter Willow, who turns 2 in July].
Q. How's motherhood on tour?
Its both the dream come true and the hardest, craziest thing I've ever done. She's having the time of her life and getting to see the world. She is the happiest girl I've ever seen so I remind myself of that when I'm tired. Theres no days off for this mama.

Madex Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Its fun when a movie comes along that you want to stay up to 3am watching. Indiana Jones came out last night, and I went with Ktlau, Bumps, Worst Case Kevin and patBenatard down to the Vista in Silverlaket midnight last night to see the new film starring, Harrison "What are you like 80?" Ford. This film was every bit as one dimensional as the first 3 films. Serial action, comedy romps through the jungle. As the film started, when the Lucas Films logo came on, a man yelled from his inner childhood, "DON'T FUCK THIS UP LUCAS!!!!" Which set the tone for the rest of the night. I liked it, it pushed every fun blockbuster button there was. Not one of the bizzillion bullets fired hit anyone, 300 ft water falls were mere water slides and a punch to the face was like walk in the park. The film introduces Mudd Wilson, who for the most part I wish had more lines, near the end of the film he didn't talk much, I liked him as a wordy tough boy kid he started out as. The film does go way out on a limb and for that its fun, one of the best scenes involves a quiet fake 50′s town that get a visit from an H bomb. Plus, you'll pee yourself when the true treasure is reveled.
I give it 5 out of 5 madex's for blockbuster 2008 thrill ride. I laughed, I screamed, I lauged even harder at the end, WTF.
This film will make you feel like the X-files film came early, like 60 years early.
"Does my costume make me look fat?"
We witnessed a super fan on the sidewalk, PatBenatard was brave enough to take a photo with him.

CEO and co-founder of Main Street Landing Melinda Moulton says the word 'innovate' means a lot to Vermont. 'Innovation is thriving here,' she said. / ELLIOT de BRUYN/Free Press
Who: Melinda Moulton
What: CEO/Redeveloper of Main Street Landing
Location: One Main Street, Burlington
Phone: 864-7999
Burlington Free Press: What was your last a-ha moment in your business?
Melinda Moulton: My last a-ha moment was (last week), when the Free Press reported the first medical marijuana dispensary was going to be in Main Street Landing. Im excited. Im a big medical marijuana supporter. It has helped so many friends with MS, glaucoma. Medical marijuana is an herb, and an herb is a medicine. Ive been a huge medical marijuana supporter for years. When Shayne Lynn came to me a year ago to talk to me, I thought, This fits in with everything were about. We believe in social justice. That was my a-ha moment, seeing the Wing building in full color in the Free Press in a story about Main Street Landing being one of the first dispensaries in Vermont. I think its grand!
BFP: How have recent job market numbers affected you?
Moulton: Main Street Landing has a very small staff, and most of them have been with us for many years. It has not affected our business, or our tenancy, which is sitting at about 3 percent vacancy. We have more daily rentals now than ever in the performing arts center. Daily rentals are skyrocketing. Were turning more people away because were almost full. Tenants are sticking with us.
BFP: Why Vermont?
Moulton: I have been in Vermont for 40 years. Ive been here since I was 22 years old. I am in Vermont because I love the people, I love the natural environment, I love the independence and the entrepreneurial spirit of Vermonters, and I love the forward-thinking politics of Vermont. I feel at peace. I feel very peaceful in Vermont. I feel safe and I feel at one with Vermont.
BFP: What part of your job do you look forward to?
Moulton: I look forward to seeing all of our great tenants and employees and performing arts folks and daily rental clients coming down to the waterfront every day and enjoying this incredible place and being so happy and at peace. I enjoy coming to work and seeing activity in a place that 30 years ago was a wasteland, seeing thousands of people standing in front of ECHO, kids on the skate park, people walking on the bike path. Im coming down to a place that, when I first came here, was literally a wasteland. Thirty years later, its vibrant and exciting, with great people doing a lot of wonderful things.
BFP: What part of your job do you dread?
Moulton: I think the hardest thing for me in my career has been my deep and profound sadness that I havent been able to bring commuter rail back to Union Station. We built the train station in 1998. Its been 12 years. I think about that every day. I am very sad that with todays gas prices and with climate change, to look at public transportation, not just in the state of Vermont but in the country, we havent been more forward-thinking about high-speed rail. When I see cars stuck in traffic, it makes me sad that Main Street Landing has a train station, but no train. If I work hard, I hope that by the end of my life that rail will return to Burlington.
BFP: If you werent working today, what would you be doing?
Moulton: I would be at a Planned Parenthood of Northern New England board meeting in Portland, Maine. Im a board member, fighting for the safe, healthy protection of womens reproductive health. Im at my cousins house in Portland, about to go to a two-day meeting.
BFP: What is something else youre passionate about, outside of your business?
Moulton: My greatest passion is my 8-year-old grandson who has autism. My passion is to understand and help him to be the best that he can be and to understand and really celebrate his extraordinary gifts. I have four grandkids, hes my special needs one. My total passion is about him and his needs, and the beautiful way he looks at the world. Hes non-verbal, but gifted at math. The reason why Im so passionate about autism and understanding it is to be able to celebrate his extraordinary gifts, while helping him with his many challenges.
BFP: What do you think of the presidential campaign?
Moulton: Im shocked. Im shocked that in todays world were talking about contraception, end of story. I am shocked and dismayed, and I cant even express how I feel as a woman when one political party talks about taking away contraception for women. Im shocked, what can I say?

Sexy Thom Evans Shines in '50 Shades of Grey'-Themed Ad
FirstToKnow.com posted this sexy new ad that's got us all hot and bothered. It's from Marc New York, a division of Andrew Marc-- the company known for its signature fur and leather bomber jacket, among other things. They've created a new print campaign inspired by the book Fifty Shades of Grey, with former Scottish rugby player Thom Evans playing the Christian Grey. The lady is 2012 Celebrity Apprentice contestant and 2008 Miss Universe winner Dayana Mendoza in the Anastasia Steele part.
No, we haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey. Yes, this is an ad with a lady in it. So what? The focus is all about the abtastically hunky Thom, and if it takes a lady to whip off his tiny towel then we're all about it!
The ads will reportedly run in the September and October issues of Glamour and People StyleWatch magazine, as well as in digital and outdoor venues.

The whole song just repeats these three chords. Tiara Thomas plays the song
with a capo on the second fret, but I don't really see the need based
on the chords she plays.
F#m B/D C#/E
F#m - B/D - C#/E
F#m B/D C#/E
Is it bad that I never made love, no I never did it
But I sure know how to fuck
F#m B/D
I'll be your bad girl, I'll prove it to you
I can't promise that I'll be good to you
F#m B/D C#/E
Cause I had some issues, I won't commit
No, not having it
F#m B/D C#/E
But at least I can admit that I'll be bad no to you (to you)
Yeah, I'll be good in bed but I'll be bad to you

The Bank of New Glarus was the first official bank in New Glarus located at 113 Sixth Avenue. Doors opened on October 30, 1893 with $12, 000 in opening capital. It began as a five-way partnership with Fred Kundert, J. C. Zimmerman, Thomas Hefty, T. C. Hefty, and B. A. Kundert. On June 27, 1903 the bank incorporated under state charter and became a publicly owned bank with deposits of $121,000.
In 1910, the bank moved to 501 First Street, occupying a one-story concrete structure until 1969. The building was then torn down and the current Swiss style building was constructed. In 1977, the bank added a drive up facility on the corner of Railroad Street and Fifth Avenue. In April of 1995, the bank received a face-lift, with the entire exterior being painted.
The Bank of New Glarus has been victim of one attempted burglary. In the early morning hours of August 25, 1900, a pair of burglars entered through a back window, knocked off the dials of the vault and attempted to blow the door off the safe. The charge backfired and instead of blowing the door off the safe, the charge blew out scarring the pair who stole Dr. Blumer's horse and buggy, which they wrecked just out of town in their escape. They were never apprehended.
Today, we have additional Sugar River branches located in New Glarus, Belleville,ĀBrodhead, Juda, and MonroeĀoffering convenience of multiple locations with the hometown customer service our customers deserve.

Billy Reid 2014
Unlike some, NYFW doesn't really send me into an excited frenzy. That being said, there are a few brands that I very much looking forward to seeing every year. Billy Reid is one of them. This brand has been a favorite since I saw a collection at Capsule trade show several years back. I had admired the clothing online for its decidedly southern character and classic silhouettes, but it wasn't until seeing the craftsmanship in person that I truly fell in love. The materials are luxurious in texture and quality and the tailoring is impeccable. Founder Billy Reid designs the collections from his home base of Florence, AL and employs artisan factories in the USA and Europe to bring them to life. I continue to be impressed with the quality, authenticity, and heritage of his designs. It's always a pleasure to get a sneak peek of the runway presentation hosted at the new Highline Hotel with their behind-the-scenes videos (above). I've included some of my favorite looks from the collection (photos via GQ). And be sure to stop by the website and admire my friend Mikael Kennedy's photography of the S/S 2014 collection (a couple below). His work for them is spectacular and I wish it was available as a printed booklet.

New Zealand ended day 3 at 252 for five, leading India by 6 runs in the second and final Test on Sunday. Skipper Brendon McCullum and B.J. Watling shared a 158-run stand for the sixth wicket to bail New Zealand out of trouble.
Only four wickets fell on day 3. Three wickets in the morning session and one wicket fell in the second session. It was a disciplined performance considering the Indian bowlers picked up the three wickets giving away just 63 runs from 25.1 overs. The bowlers kept up the pressure in the post lunch period as well with some tight bowling but only managed one wicket as New Zealand fought their way to 146 for five at tea on the third day of the second and final cricket Test.
The post-tea session began with New Zealand at 146 for five. Brendon McCullum managed his 29th half-century in Test cricket. If you look at it, it was a completely different type of innings than one usually associated to McCullum. He was happy to play without taking too many risks.
The day saw Watling complete 1,000 runs in Test cricket on his 21st Test match. He is the only New Zealand player to do so. While McCullum reached 5,000 runs in Test cricket. He is also only the fourth New Zealand player to reach the 5,000-run mark. Later, he also scored his 9th century in Test cricket.
Watling soon got his seventh half-century in Tests with a four through third-man. New Zealand then took the lead against India in the 94th over. New Zealand keeping the match interesting for sure, heading into the fourth day.

Administrative Assistant Day
Administrative Assistant Day has only been around for a few years. I found it quite a challenge to think of a special gift for my secretary. Luckily, a colleague told me about the Online Star Register. Since the star particularly took my fancy, I immediately ordered one for my wife's birthday!
Really original gift for Secretary's Day
I received a really original gift for Secretary's Day this year. My colleagues and I were given a star as a gift. Our director thinks we are a bright spot in the office, and wanted to immortalise this on Secretary's Day. Great, isn't it?!
Thank you OSR!
Thank you so much OSR! I registered a star for my assistant to show my appreciation for the work she has put in for me. Your beautiful wrapped package arrived in time. Thanks for best secretary day gift!

My secretary's day gift put a big smile on het face. Great!

By G.P. Thomas
Dr. Prabu Raja, Vice President and General Manger of the Etch Business at Applied, stated that the company leveraged its expertise in plasma technology to facilitate deep etching through multiple layer complex material stacks typical of 3D memory structures. The company has already dispatched more than 30 chambers to various customers.
Three-dimensional NAND memory arrays are flash devices with extremely high bit density and can accommodate as many as 64 memory cell layers. Designed and built from scratch, the Centura Avatar system is capable of etching trenches through multiple film layers of depth to width aspect ratio, 80:1. In order to perceive this proportion, one can compare it to the Washington monument that has an aspect ratio of 10:1. The system is also capable of etching structures with different depths at the same time. This feature facilitates the connection of memory cells to outer circuits by enabling the fabrication of staircase-like contact structures.
Applied Materials is set to exhibit the Avatar system along with other novel chip-making technologies at the SEMICON West 2012 from July 10 to 12.

MusicMonday: Can't Hide Love by Earth,Wind & Fire
You just can't, ok? So live open and freely. We have been since our move to Amsterdam, mainly because there's a serious lack of curtains in our flat. Ahem.
Anyway. Today's #MusicMonday came on Soulfood, an internet radio station we listen to all day. I loved it. Shazam-ed it and now want to share it with you. It was also a hit for Earth, Wind & Fire, which I think is why it was vaguely familiar, but I think it suits a woman's voice nicely. I hope it reminds me of our first week in Amsterdam.

This might be a wake-up call that teenagers welcome.
Research shows teens need 9 to 9.25 hours of sleep a night to reboot their brains, allowing them to maintain attention, memory and focus, and boost overall mental and physical health.
But most teens fall short of that goal, averaging 6.5 hours to 7.5 hours a night, thanks in part to overscheduled lives, caffeine fixes and non-stop technology demands. ...

Listen up.
A reader at Osan Air Base, South Korea, has an issue with companies that charge extra for shipping to an APO or FPO address. While trying to order a camera online, he was told he'd have to pay $20 more than the usual shipping fee to have it sent to him.
"I thought that was wrong and didn't order," he said.
Are companies wrong in charging extra? Not necessarily. Should you pay it? Not if you can find another option.
Some companies do not charge extra to ship to an APO/FPO address. Some do. Some companies refuse to ship to APO/FPO addresses. Some retailers offer free shipping.
The military exchanges' online store does not charge extra to send to APO/FPO addresses. And in many cases, shipping is free through the online exchange.
Regardless of location, shipping is free for online exchange purchases made with the exchanges' Military Star card. Shipping is free for purchases of $49 or more when you use any other form of payment. Purchases of $48 or less not made with a Military Star card are subject to a standard shipping fee of $4.95.
Bulk fees might be added for oversized items such as refrigerators and furniture, Army and Air Force Exchange Service spokesman Judd Anstey said.
When you consider U.S. Postal Service rates, or other shipping companies' rates, $4.95 can be a good deal.
But be aware that if you buy through the Exchange Online Mall formerly CentricMall shipping charges vary by site, because you're not buying directly from the exchanges. Rather, you're getting a discount through companies that have signed agreements to be part of the Exchange Online Mall.
Authorized shoppers are active-duty, retired, National Guard and reserve members and their families, some disabled veterans and their families, surviving spouses and former spouses. You can find out more about prices at http://www.aafes.com">http://www.aafes.com, http://www.usmc-mccs.org">http://www.usmc-mccs.org, http://www.navy-nex.com">http://www.navy-nex.com and http://www.cg-exchange.com">http://www.cg-exchange.com.
At http://www.oconus.com">http://www.oconus.com, you'll find links to some companies that are APO/FPO-friendly. Check their policies to see whether they charge extra for shipping to APO/FPO locations.
If you've found something you really want, but the company will not ship to APO/FPO addresses, check out http://www.shipitAPO.com">http://www.shipitAPO.com. For an extra handling fee that depends on the size and weight of the package, you can have the manufacturer ship the item directly to ShipItAPO, which will forward it to the APO or FPO address. The extra handling fee starts at $7.50 for a package up to 19 pounds.
You'll also pay the postage that the Postal Service charges to get it from the ShipItAPO hub to the location overseas.
To find out rates for mailing packages of various shapes and weights, go to http://www.usps.com">http://www.usps.com. Click on "Calculate Postage" at the top, then go to "Calculate Domestic Postage." When you enter the APO/FPO address, the chart that appears reflects military mail rates.
ATM fees
With the news that Bank of America plans to raise its ATM fees to $3 for noncustomers, other financial institutions cannot be far behind. This means that if your bank is not Bank of America, and you use a Bank of America ATM, you'll be charged $3 up from $2 on top of whatever your own bank charges you for that transaction.
Let's say you spend $40 a week for assorted lunches, coffee, etc. If you pull out $20 for the sake of convenience at a Bank of America machine on Tuesday, it will probably cost you $4, including the $3 fee from Bank of America and a $1 fee from your own bank.
Do that again on Friday, and you've just paid $8 to get $40 of your own money. If you did this every week for a month, you would spend $32 to get $160 of your own money.
Instead, scope out the closest ATM in your bank's or credit union's network. Then stop by that ATM on your way home from work on Friday and pull out the $40.
Your bank might reimburse you for noncustomer ATM fees. For example, USAA offers members free ATM use worldwide because it doesn't have brick-and-mortar branches and an ATM network. However, that's limited to 10 free ATM withdrawals and $15 in refunds per month.
Got that? You're good to go.

This past season of Game of Thrones was undeniably and univocally the Season of Arya Stark. The finale—watched by a whopping 7.1 million people—ended on an Arya-centric cliffhanger, details of which we won't reveal for anti-spoiler sake. (You're welcome.) Maisie Williams, the 17-year-old British actress best known for playing the youngest daughter of Winterfell, deserves major props for her earnest, tempestuous portrayal. But with an IMDb page also riddled with work aside from Thrones, it's time for us to take her broader acting chops into consideration.
Last week, I was invited to chat with Williams about her new film Heatstroke, now out in U.S. theaters. The starlet plays Josie, a teenager who is forced to protect herself from arms dealers while on a family trip in the African desert. There are no stallions, no Valar Morghulis coins and certainly no Hound, but nonetheless, Williams is in her element throughout. Read on to learn how Williams would describe her Game of Thrones alter ego, why shooting in the Sahara was so dangerous and which surprising Thrones co-star she'd take to prom.
Lucky: With so many years of experience on the Game of Thrones set, how was it transitioning back to the real world (well, more or less!) for Heatstroke?
Maisie Williams: When I got Heatstroke, it was a couple years ago now and I was new to shooting in general: Thrones' Season One had just aired and I was still unknown. I hadn't done much, I wasn't used to the industry and I was still learning. It wasn't like I had an original idea of filming. But Heatstroke was a lot more intimate. It was a much smaller crew—we would go for dinner after work, and it was a lot more personal, I guess.
In Heatstroke, your dad's girlfriend has to protect you from some pretty scary arms dealers. After holding your own as Arya for the last few years, was it difficult letting someone else do the protecting onscreen?
Well, it was definitely a really interesting character to play. I feel like Arya's constantly making her own decisions and instigating things. For Heatstroke it was on the other end of the spectrum, to not have that confidence, but still be very determined and not to be the instigator. I guess it was nice to see the other role and be a lot more relatable, but no one is born as a hero. I love playing characters who are very willing to fight and take control of the situation.
And that being said, this movie is insanely action-heavy. Do you see yourself doing any less-physical or dramatic work in the future?
I actually did a movie last year called The Falling and it's a completely different character. Her name is Lydia, she attends an all-girls school and it's set in the '60s. It takes a look into a real person's life, like people who you pass in the street and you'd never look twice at, but everyone's got a story. It's nothing life-changing to you and she's not a hero, but you realize that everyone's got a story and no one's boring. There's always something going on behind closed doors.
…Which is a very profound mindset! For Thrones, you clearly had to learn a lot of sword-fighting and horse-riding. Were there any special skills—combat or otherwise—that you needed to learn for Heatstroke?
No, not massively. I didn't have very many stunts to do. My co-star Svetlana [Metkina] had more of that sort of thing, so I'll admit, it was nice to be able to sit back and not do any of that physical work. But the thing I really struggled with the most was the sun. On set, there wasn't a lot of shelter anywhere, and the ozone layer is a lot thinner down there, so we did have to be careful. I'm a person who burns quite easily; I do have to be really careful, even in the U.K. It sounds so silly, but actually, the sun is far more dangerous than we lead ourselves to believe.
You and Sophie Turner [who plays Sansa Stark] are such close friends. What noteworthy style and beauty tips have you learned from her through your friendship?
I feel like Sophie takes to all that a lot more naturally than I do. She could just be in a tracksuit and her hair could be up in a ponytail, but she's still so lovely and graceful. She's mastered the no-makeup makeup look, which I need to get onto. She has so many different tips about contouring, like how to make your face look skinnier. Dammit, I have to keep up! She's absolutely beautiful.
I used to follow your Vines religiously—which is maybe not something I should admit to you in a professional interview. But anyway! Since you vowed to stop using it in February, have you found a replacement yet?
What happened with Vine is that, well, I didn't consciously choose to leave. As my Vine got more popular, I'd find my Vines on popular pages and all the other ones on there were racial or sexual stereotypes that were essentially saying those jokes were okay. People said it was okay to make those jokes, but part of me was just like, it's easy humor and I didn't like that. I wanted to find other things and I wanted to make those things very intelligent. I just didn't really like the place that Vine was becoming; that wasn't the community I wanted to be in.
So, do you have something that you're using for that outlet right now?
It's on the way! There is something new that I will be starting soon, so stay tuned!
I have to ask this because I'm still personally devastated about the Red Wedding: was there one death on the show that you—not Arya—would like to avenge?
It's Roz, the redheaded whore. With the crossbow, you know?
Oh, I know.
In Thrones, all these people kind of die for a reason with people treading on territory that should just be left alone. Like Ned, who was asking questions about things he probably should have just let be. But Roz, she did absolutely nothing wrong, and that was just so heartbreaking. Also, there was a continuity picture of that scene and it was up on my makeup mirror for a week, so I had to see her sort of hanging there for so long. It was just so powerful. I got upset every time I looked at it.
One last fun question: you're 17, which is about the age that most students in the U.S. go to prom. If you had to take one of your fellow Thrones co-stars to prom, who would it be?
Sophie Turner! We'd just have such a laugh. She'd wear a pretty dress, but I'd still wear a suit because I feel like that's what we would do. We'd do the whole awkward prom pose and everything.
Heatstroke is now out in select theaters nationwide.

Two girls' basketball coaches in the 35th District resigned in the last couple of days as Nicole Levandusky has stepped down as Notre Dame's coach about a month after leading the program to a state runner-up finish and Alison McCarthy-Stokes was asked to resign at Beechwood earlier this week.
Neither Levandusky nor principal Laura Koehl nor athletic director Kim Gunning would say why Levandusky resigned, but when Gunning was asked by e-mail if Levandusky resigned for a coaching job somewhere else, she replied, "no," and said it was a, "personal decision."
Gunning wrote in a press release ...
