THE 750 HONDA has got to be on everyone's mind when thinking of classic Japanese motorcycles, so we'll start here.
First unveiled at the 1968 Tokyo show after years in the rumour mill, this classic Honda motorcycle instantly became a sales leader with its novel across-the-frame, in-line four, over-head cam engine. It also featured a hydraulically actuated front disc brake, never before seen in a production motorcycle. While powerful for the time and pretty fade-resistant, it still sucked in the rain. Ah well, can't have it all.
As well as the bragging rights that come with the engine and brakes on the big 750, Honda painted these babies some pretty funky metal-flake golds and blues that were just right for the times, but looked very dated by the eighties and nineties, when there were still many of them around.
What kept them around was/is their bulletproof reliability, durable electrics and the fact they usually stayed oil-tight for years. Nowadays a good original metal-flake gold single-overhead cam Honda CB750 is a rare sight indeed and a true keeper.
The 750/4 was the very first motorcycle deservedly given the moniker "superbike", and the machine most responsible for kicking the venerable British motorcycle industry over the edge to an early grave.
It's just too bad the Brits didn't keep up, because they had the edge in style, that's for sure!
Kawasaki had been developing a transverse four cylinder 750 for several years secretly in the States and had been testing a version for production in 1968 when Honda dropped the bombshell CB750 on the world. Shocked and dismayed, Kawasaki stopped development and went back to concentrating on the 2-stroke triples. But the writing was on the wall since the Environmental Protection Agency in the US was getting increasingly strict with emissions belching 2-strokes.
Banking on the premise that no manufacturer was likely to trump a 900cc motorcycle, Kawasaki upped the ante and developed what became the King of bikes, the 1972 KZ900. See much more by clicking the above link!
Born in 1968 as the XS-1, the Yamaha XS650 parallel twin was a production mainstay for Yamaha all the way up to 1985! And although there were up to forty different versions internationally over the years, the motor itself changed very little.
A case of getting it right the first time. In fact the engine is a study in consistency and reliability. It hated leaking oil and it hated to blow up.
Even when tuned to the edge of common sense by flat-track mechanics, the big twins' parts stayed pretty close together for the most part. A versatile machine, the 650 Yamaha appealed to commuters, racers, and those with a taste for café racers, chopper bikes and bobbers.
Didn't hurt at all that so many were sold, especially in the US, that parts and used machines are easy to come by and cheap and as a result it's not suprising that you see so many modified XS650s on the road today.
So if you like your Japanese bikes in the British style, the Yamaha XS650 is the way to go!
Above you see a stock Yamaha XS650. Here you see the flip-side. Did this clever builder just take the old monkey-bars and turn them upside-down? Looks like it to me. And frankly I think it's ingenious!
I wonder how this cafe handles though. Just seems weird and maybe not much of a turning-circle. But still, you gotta hand it to this builder. I think it's a case of using what you have.
Toss in a side-slash exhaust pipe, minimalist seat and mirrors from god-knows-what and you got yourself an unusually together look and a crazy look. Go figure!
The Yamaha xs650 was built and sold in so many iterations over the years that many have survived. The engines are remarkably durable (if a bit shaky!) so they have become a favourite among specialty builders.
Mostly cafe racers and bobbers but board-trackers, and "steampunk" bikes are popping up all over the place.
Find one that's running and get the hacksaw out. Or restore one to its' original glory!
Beginning with the Honda CB750 in 1969, and the Kawasaki KZ series in 1963, these two manufacturers were the only players in the big-bore in-line four market. Yamaha was lagging behind with the successful but underpowered twin XS650. Suzuki was basically nowhere to be found, offering up old-school two-strokers whose days were clearly numbered.
But Suzuki had an ace up its sleeve in the form of the GS series of four stroke in-line fours. In 1976, the Suzuki GS400 and GS750 debuted. Soon the SG550 and GS1000 models would round out the lineup. Suzuki was back in the game big-time by releasing their own versions of what would become known as the Universal Japanese Motorcycle.
Suzuki made sure their GS's would be at least competitive by making them fast, affordable, reliable and well equipped. Styling was conservative yet handsome, especially the big GS1000 with its stylish quarter-fairing. The DOHC motors proved quiet, smooth and trouble free. On top of that, they came with rare fuel level indicators and unheard-of gear indicators. And handling was among the best of the bunch along with a general feeling that the Suzuki GS750 and GS1000 were stress-free bikes when ridden at speed.
Suzuki had in essence produced an instant line-up of classic Japanese motorcycles and in the process firmly joined the Big Four in the soon-to-be raging superbike wars.
Story by Ben Wilkins for Classic Motorcycle Mechanics
The CB900 has always played second fiddle to its CBX1000 big brother. But this was Honda's production racer for the biking masses...
If ever a bike has lived in the shadow of another it's the Honda CB900F. When the CB900 was launched in 1979 the press, and public alike, had their attention firmly fixed on the headline grabbing six-cylinder CBX1000. 31 years later it's still the CBX that is the bike most fans of big Hondas favour. But with prices of CBXs occasionally crossing the £10,000 mark they're now the preserve of those with serious amounts of cash. Just looking through the classifieds in CMM though you can pick up a tidy standard CB900F for less than £1000 and a tastefully modified CB900 Spencer replica could be yours for less than £3000. That's far more easily within the reach of the majority of 70s muscle bike fans. And despite the common perception it doesn't mean you're getting a second rate bike. Honda certainly didn't think so...

Driver pleads not guilty in Perkins Township hayride crash
SANDUSKY, Ohio - The operator of a tractor pulling wagons during a hayride in Ohio has pleaded not guilty to several charges after authorities say he drove off a road and injured 28 people riding on the wagons.
State Highway Patrol troopers say there were open alcohol containers at the scene of the crash and that the driver refused to take a sobriety test.
The Sandusky Register reports Michael Hermes of Sandusky is charged with aggravated vehicular assault, refusing to take a breath-alcohol test, having an open container and failure to control.
Some of those injured Saturday night suffered broken bones while others were just shaken up.
The driver's attorney says the Hermes family is thinking about the victims and praying for their families.

Pronunciation: fye-DAX-oh-MYE-sin
Class: Macrolide
Trade Names
- Tablets 200 mg
Bactericidal against Clostridium difficile in vitro, inhibiting RNA synthesis by RNA polymerases.
Minimal systemic absorption. C max was approximately 5.2 ng/mL and T max was approximately 2 h (range, 1 to 5 h). C max of fidaxomicin and OP-1118 (its main metabolite) decreased by 21.5% and 33.4%, respectively, when administered with a high-fat meal, which is not considered clinically significant.
Mostly confined to GI tract.
Transformed by hydrolysis at the isobutyryl ester to form its main active metabolite (OP-1118).
Mainly excreted in feces (more than 92% as fidaxomicin and OP-1118) and very little in urine (0.59% of dose recovered). Elimination half-life was approximately 11.7 h (fidaxomicin) and 11.2 h (OP-1118 metabolite).
Special PopulationsRenal Function Impairment
Plasma concentrations did not vary by severity of renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is recommended based on renal function.Hepatic Function Impairment
Pharmacokinetics have not been evaluated in hepatic impairment.Elderly
Plasma concentrations were approximately 2- to 4-fold higher in elderly patients versus nonelderly patients. No dosage adjustment is recommended for elderly patients.Gender
Plasma concentration did not vary by gender. No dosage adjustment is necessary based on gender.
Indications and Usage
For treatment of C. difficile –associated diarrhea (CDAD).
None well documented.
Dosage and AdministrationAdults
PO 200 mg twice daily for 10 days.
General Advice
- May administer with or without food.
Store between 68° and 77°F; excursions are permitted between 59° and 86°F.
Drug InteractionsCyclosporine
Coadministration of cyclosporine, a P-glycoprotein (Pgp) inhibitor, may increase plasma concentrations of fidaxomicin and its metabolite, OP-1118. In addition, concentrations of fidaxomicin and OP-1118 may be reduced at the site of action (ie, GI tract) via Pgp inhibition. However, cyclosporine does not appear to affect the safety or treatment outcome of fidaxomicin. Fidaxomicin may be coadministered with Pgp inhibitors and no dose adjustment is recommended.Food
Administration of fidaxomicin with a high-fat meal decreases the C max of fidaxomicin and OP-1118, while the AUC is unchanged compared with administration under fasting conditions. The magnitude of the decrease in C max is not considered to be clinically important. Fidaxomicin may be given without respect to food.
Adverse Reactions
Drug eruption, pruritus, rash (less than 2%).
Nausea (11%); vomiting (7%); abdominal pain (6%); GI hemorrhage (4%); abdominal distension, abdominal tenderness, dyspepsia, dysphagia, flatulence, intestinal obstruction, megacolon (less than 2%).
Anemia, neutropenia (2%).
Lab Tests
Decreased blood bicarbonate, decreased platelet count, increased blood alkaline phosphatase, increased hepatic enzymes (less than 2%).
Hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis (less than 2%).
Monitor patient for response to therapy and resolution of CDAD symptoms.
Category B .
Safety and efficacy in patients younger than 18 y have not been established.
Renal Function
No dosage adjustment is recommended based on renal function.
Systemic infections
Because there is minimal systemic absorption, fidaxomicin is not effective for treatment of systemic infections.
Patient Information
- Inform patients that fidaxomicin tablets may be taken with or without food.
- Remind patients that fidaxomicin is an antibiotic that should only be used to treat bacterial infections and does not treat viral infections.
- Advise patients that the drug only treats CDAD and should not be used to treat any other infection.
- Inform patients that it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy and to take the medication exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may decrease the effectiveness of treatment and increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by fidaxomicin or other antibacterial drugs in the future.

Emotional turmoil of the past has wrought pearls of wisdom in you, which are not to be cast before swine.
At least 11 people were killed in the blizzard and $6 million in damage was wrought.
Meanwhile, his countrymen must try to undo the damage that the madman has wrought over four decades.
Of course, says Nicol, not everything that Downton has wrought has been as wonderful.
Then as now, the majority of Americans had little interest in examining the nuclear sword of Damocles their fear had wrought.
Mrs. Latimer's sobs only roused his wrath at all the misery she had wrought.
They told how Tomo was wrought to a pitch of frenzied interest by this manhunt.
They have thought and wrought, have borne the burdens of the world.
Many a dismal and unhappy tale might be wrought out of its other adventures.
That wonderful love had wrought transformation in her—and now havoc.
Old English weorc, worc "something done, deed, action, proceeding, business, military fortification," from Proto-Germanic *werkan (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Dutch werk, Old Norse verk, Middle Dutch warc, Old High German werah, German Werk, Gothic gawaurki), from PIE root *werg- "to work" (see urge (v.)).
Work is less boring than amusing oneself. [Baudelaire, "Mon Coeur mis a nu," 1862]In Old English, the noun also had the sense of "fornication." Workhouse in the sense of "place where the poor or petty criminals are lodged" first appeared 1650s. Works "industrial place" (usually with qualifying adj.) is attested from 1580s. Work ethic recorded from 1959.
a fusion of Old English wyrcan (past tense worhte, past participle geworht), from Proto-Germanic *wurkijanan; and Old English wircan (Mercian) "to work, operate, function," formed relatively late from Proto-Germanic noun *werkan (see work (n.)). Related: Worked; working. Working class is from 1789 as a noun, 1839 as an adjective.
Old English wrecan "avenge," originally "to drive, drive out, punish" (class V strong verb; past tense wræc, past participle wrecen), from Proto-Germanic *wrekanan (cf. Old Saxon wrekan, Old Norse reka, Old Frisian wreka, Middle Dutch wreken "to drive, push, compel, pursue, throw," Old High German rehhan, German rächen "to avenge," Gothic wrikan "to persecute"), from PIE root *werg- "to work, to do" (cf. Lithuanian vergas "distress," vergas "slave;" Old Church Slavonic vragu "enemy;" Latin urgere; see urge (v.)). Meaning "inflict or take vengeance," with on, is recorded from late 15c.; that of "inflict or cause (damage or destruction)" is attested from 1817.
The transfer of energy from one object to another, especially in order to make the second object move in a certain direction. Work is equal to the amount of force multiplied by the distance over which it is applied. If a force of 10 newtons, for example, is applied over a distance of 3 meters, the work is equal to 30 newtons per meter, or 30 joules. The unit for measuring work is the same as that for energy in any system of units, since work is simply a transfer of energy. Compare energy, power.

Did you know that business owners could only say that they are successful when they see their clients happy about what they are providing? Well, it is very important for every entrepreneur to consider the products and services that they are offering their clients because if these clients are unhappy about what they are getting from you, they will be convinced that it would be better if they move on to the next provider. Not only will you be losing clients but you will be losing a part of your business that made you successful.
SMS mobile marketing emerged from the idea that the use of the mobile phone has helped a lot of small-scale business owners to reach out to their clients especially those that they have already identified because their market is limited to a number of consumers in a particular town or city. In the beginning, this was used by small time business owners because it does not cost much and it has helped them improve their sales allowing them to personalize their marketing campaigns. To their surprise, all of a sudden big time players of the business industry has adopted the use of text message marketing into their major marketing campaigns.
There are a lot of misconceptions about text message marketing. Some people think that business earns money from texting other people only when these people reply to the SMS. However, text message marketing does not work that way. What SMS marketing does is that it keeps people informed and when consumers are updated as often as they would like to, they feel happy. Only businesses with happy consumers can be considered successful because the amount of sales that goes into the business is constantly growing by the minute.
First, you can enter the personal space of the potential clients. Mobile phones are personal items by an user. It means that no matter where they go, they always have their phones with them. They read every text message that they receive and it is not like email messages. People already had enough of virus messages on their email so they tend to ignore messages that what they think is just a spam.
Third, a lot of people are using mobile phones. Actually, it is said that the number of people with mobile phones are higher compared to the people with laptops or desktop computers. Also, some people prefer using their phones in accessing the Internet. However, you need to make adjustments on your website and try to make some advertisements that will appear on mobile phones. This is also the place where people can place their mobile numbers.
This is where Text Message Marketing comes in. Some people think that it is just the same as email marketing. It is different and it is better than email marketing. There are a couple of reasons why this kind of marketing strategy is the best choice today.
Fourth, you can have direct contact with your customers through SMS Marketing Service. You can talk directly to your customer if they inquire about your products or services. Instead of providing information through emails, you can call them directly to provide information.
If you really want to consider a good marketing strategy, try to consider SMS services and try to take advantage of its benefits.

EL PASO -- A paralegal and her husband have been indicted on suspicion of embezzling more than $1 million from the law firm where she worked.
The suspects are Rosanne and Michael Stogner. A grand jury indicted them this month in a series of thefts from Oaxaca, Bernal & Associates between March 2001 and May 2007.
Rosanne Stogner declined Monday to talk about the charges and her attorney, Dolph Quijano, did not return calls.
Rosanne Stogner was employed at the law firm at 1515 Montana as a paralegal and an office manager from 1999 to 2007, according to a complaint affidavit by police. Her responsibilities included preparing case files and paying bills.
But she also allegedly paid herself money to which she was not entitled.
Police alleged in the affidavit that Stogner made out checks to herself, to her husband, to his fence company and even to her daughter's personal trainer.
"The checks were not authorized by (law firm executives) Juan Oaxaca or Abelardo Bernal and totaled $1,002,050.47," the police affidavit stated.
The Stogners have pleaded not guilty.
Michael Gibson, attorney for Michael Stogner, said the charges against his client were filed only after Rosanne Stogner refused to accept a plea agreement in which she would have gone to prison for 40 years. That proposal was more time than what most murder defendants received in plea bargains, he said.
Gibson said he suspects there may be a political connection between Oaxaca, Bernal & Associates and the district attorney's office.
"I've already started going back in to the campaign contributions to the court and to the district attorney's office to see if there's any political influence there," he said.
District Attorney Jaime Esparza declined to comment, saying he does not talk about pending cases.
The Stogners are scheduled to stand trial Jan. 21.

Not counting our founders you are one of our longest-standing members of the UX Passion family. Why did you join us?
I was a freelancer before joining UX Passion and basically looking for more stable work. You hired me as a freelancer and we did a gig together, after which you offered me the job. You seemed like really nice guys who were making really cool things and I enjoyed working with you earlier, so my decision was a no-brainer.
ReadingSmashing Book; net magazine; Nausea
You get to put ideas, designs and prototypes into real, almost tangible, web and mobile experiences. What's the part of your work at UX Passion that challenges you the most?
It's definitely working in an ever-shifting environment doing different tasks for different clients using different technologies and methodologies. It's always learning something new and improving yourself, so you can deliver better results in less time.
You often talk about processes and the need for constant learning and self-improvement. How do you stay in touch with the newest developments?
Personally my favourite channel for news about the development world, articles for learning something new and stuff like that is Twitter. You just have to follow the right people from the community which is vast and growing every day. Naturally that's not the only source and having a bunch of good RSS subscriptions is a must.
Personally I cannot function if I don't get my regular dose of fresh air, beautiful landscapes and rich animal and plant life. You put it well - it keeps me sane, especially the festivals during the summer which serve as a kind of "reset switch" for the brain.

You love nature and camping. You are also keen on going to music festivals. Tell us bit about that life choice and how does it helps you keep, well, sane?
This is my inner-hippie speaking probably but we humans have distanced ourselves from nature too much. Personally I cannot function if I don't get my regular dose of fresh air, beautiful landscapes and rich animal and plant life. You put it well – it keeps me sane, especially the festivals during the summer which serve as a kind of "reset switch" for the brain.
While we are discussing music festivals, tell us last three artists you've listened to.
Off the top of my head, three artists that made a special impact on me during the last festival: Zoolog, Megalopsy and Atriohm.
You've been part of our hiring team and you get to have a say in who are we going to hire. What would you recommend to others seeking to land a gig at UX Passion?
I would say the same thing to everyone looking for work in our industry, whether they're looking for work at UX Passion or not: sit down, write some code, read some books, read some quality articles, write some more code and then repeat. Especially the code writing part.
The only way to get good at this job is by working and practising and creating something. Plenty of people seem to be interested in this line of work but don't realise that it takes real hard work, and lots of it, to become good at it. If you're not ready to have a really tough time, don't even start.
You used to ride BMX when you were a kid. Any plans to revive old memories and ride again?
Definitely no! I'm more interested in less dangerous activities now, I've had my fair share of fractures and bruises and I don't want any more…
And our last question is about the future. Where do you see front-end development in the future and where would you like to see yourself at UX Passion?
I don't know; nobody knows… The whole thing is advancing so quickly, so many new things are being developed, so much new knowledge must be acquired. Again we're seeing new job roles/titles being developed; it's all moving so fast, and it's accelerating. I have no idea how it will look in a few years. It's already chaotic as is. That being said I have absolutely zero long-term plans regarding my engagement in this line of work. We'll see what the future holds…

To Hell with the Games: Russians Turn from Sochi to Ukraine
Written by Kevin Rothrock On 18 February 2014 @ 23:50 pm | 6 Comments
In Breaking News, Citizen Media, Eastern & Central Europe, English, Feature, Olympics, RuNet Echo, Russia, Russian, Sport, Ukraine, War & Conflict
Before the Sochi Winter Games kicked off less than two weeks ago, yours truly told [2] US News & World Report that unrest in Ukraine might divert the attention of Russian Internet users from the Olympics. Today, after a relative lull, violence returned to Kiev's streets, causing a dramatic shift in RuNet activity. Indeed, the images coming out of Ukraine depict something like a civil war.
While the news from Kiev is making headlines globally, comparative Twitter analytics demonstrate that today's events in Ukraine galvanize Russian speakers to a degree distinct from the rest of the world. Indeed, in the last 24 hours on Twitter, Russian users' interest in Ukraine has surpassed their attention on the Olympics. This reverses a trend in place since January 25, 2014, weeks before even the opening ceremony, when Russians last tweeted more about Kiev than Sochi.
The trend among Anglophone Twitter users over the last month is similar, but interest in Sochi has always dominated. Even today, with Ukraine in flames, English-language tweets about Kiev are just over half the more than 200 thousand about the Winter Games.
While it's no surprise that Internet users are drawn to the revolutionary display in Kiev, it is remarkable that the host of the Winter Olympics seems to have lost its home audience to a foreign event.

George Bernard Shaw
The rules have changed. There is only one remaining invariable in communication: determine the message/stay on message. You know what you do, does anyone else? You know what needs to be said, does anyone get it? You read/watch/hear something and your response is "What are they thinking?" They say the same about you.

Highest-Rated Wrinkle Cream of 2015
Oxytokin is the ultimate wrinkle cream! Affordable and available for less than $40, Oxytokin contains a powerful peptide formula that stimulates collagen production, locks in moisture, and rejuvenates skin cells so you can smooth your complexion and look younger than ever.
Nerium Review
The Nerium company is confident their wrinkle cream is one of the safest, most effective products available. And what makes them so confident?
Supposedly, clinical studies show the key ingredient diminishes wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and age spots. This powerful ingredient was also proven to be safe, they say.
My goal was to find the truth behind these claims and help consumers decide if Nerium is worth buying, or if it's just your typical pyramid scheme.
RECOMMENDED: Click Here to See Our Top-Rated Wrinkle Creams
Is Nerium Effective?
Nerium contains natural moisturizers such as aloe vera, glycerin, hydrolyzed quinoa, and olus oil. But the star ingredient is nerium oleander.
"We had a eureka moment in our research labs when we stumbled upon what nerium oleander could do for skin," says Dennis Knocke, CEO of Nerium Biotechnology, Inc.
Even after spending hours on the official website, I have yet to learn what nerium oleander does. The information may be there, but I couldn't find it because the website is not organized in a consumer-friendly fashion.
I did learn nerium oleander is capable of killing cancer cells by increasing oxidative stress. This was shown in a study by Dr. Robert A. Newman, who is chairman of Nerium Biotechnology, Inc.'s scientific advisory board.[1]
Oxidative stress, however, damages skin cells – cancerous and healthy alike — and speeds up the aging process. If nerium oleander increases oxidative stress and kills cells, is Nerium really good for your skin?
Is Nerium Safe?
"[Nerium oleander's] use as a poison is well known," says WebMD.com. In fact, 10% of nerium oleander ingestions result in fatality.[2]
Despite its highly poisonous nature, nerium oleander is used to treat skin problems. Supposedly, the toxic glycosides in nerium oleander are less likely to penetrate skin and enter the blood stream when used topically.
However, WebMD.com says there's not enough information to know if applying nerium oleander to skin is safe. The American Cancer Society doesn't seem to think it's safe at all.[3]
What the Studies Show
Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. submitted its product to the ST&T Research firm for clinical testing. Nerium was applied to participants' skin and then their faces were scanned. The results showed this cream smoothes skin and reverses aging, but I was skeptical about these results.
The official website doesn't provide a reference to the study or study details. This leaves me with many questions:
• How long did the study last?
• How many people were involved?
• What percentage saw improvements in skin?
Besides showing Nerium is effective, the alleged study found it to be safe.
Since the company is very vague about the study, I started to wonder why. Are they trying to hide something? If the study really was so successful, providing more information would help consumers feel confident Nerium is safe and effective. So, why isn't the company sharing more information?
What Consumer Reviews Have to Say
On Amazon.com, 110 users left feedback for Nerium. A few gave 2-4 ratings, but the rest gave either 1 star or 5 stars. I was surprised by this dramatic split; especially after hearing the company talk about how amazing Nerium is.
In positive reviews, users said Nerium is an excellent wrinkle cream. It makes skin feel healthier and smoother, and it restores an even skin tone.
Some of the reviews were so positive, I started to doubt their reliability. With some digging, I discovered most positive reviews were not written after an "Amazon Verified Purchase." So, there's no proof the reviewers even bought Nerium. I wouldn't be surprised if many reviews were written by company employees or members of their multi-level compensation plan. This wouldn't be the first time I've seen that happen.
Forty users gave 1-star ratings because Nerium didn't improve skin even slightly and caused skin problems such as:
• Rashes
• Acne breakouts
• Puffiness and swelling
• Irritation and itching
• Red bumps
• Clogged pores
• Severe skin drying
They also said Nerium smells terrible and feels thick and gooey. Several people said they cancelled the auto-program, but the company continued charging them and sending products every month. When consumers tried returning the unsolicited products, the company refused to accept them.
Becoming a Product Distributor
Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. doesn't sell its product. Rather, the company uses a multi-level-marketing program. Anyone who wants can sign-up to be a Nerium distributor. But that's only half the job. The company offers incentives when you recruit other people. Rewards and bonuses are also used to motivate distributors to make sells.
Nerium is sold on the following sites, and my guess is the sellers are authorized distributors:
• eBay.com: Prices vary, but the average price is $75
• Amazon.com: $94.95
• Sears.com: $156.32
Nerium Conclusion
The company insists Nerium is a breakthrough wrinkle cream, but they don't even explain how it works. I'm very doubtful it works because research proves it increases oxidative stress, which may make wrinkles worse – not better.
The fact that nerium oleander is so poisonous also put me on guard. Yet, the company claims to have research proving Nerium is not only effective, but also safe. For some reason though, they don't share the complete study results.
If Nerium is so safe and effective, why did almost half of reviewers say it doesn't improve skin and causes side effects? I was already skeptical when I couldn't find the study, but these negative reviews make me question it further.
I don't recommend buying Nerium because I don't believe you'll get your money's worth. Not to mention, the "business" side of it is very shady. "Pyramid schemes" generally only work out for the people on top. In order to supplement your income you would be sacrificing your money, time and relationships with friends and family for a product that is not guaranteed to work. I suggest only purchasing a wrinkle cream backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.

Chicago's origin began on the banks of what today is known as the Chicago River. Sometime during the 1770s Jean Baptiste Pointe Du Sable the son of a slave woman, and French sea captain established a trading post that served local as well as non-local patrons, some as far away as Detroit and Canada. As the population around the post grew it assumed the name the local Potawatomi Indians had given the area "the place of bad smells". Eschecagou or Eschikagou was mispronounced Chicago by visitors. The stench in the air was contributed to large fields of decaying wild onions and marshlands.
Through the years Chicago has been referred to by many names most notably as the "Windy City". There are three main possibilities to explain the cities nickname. The combination of blowing winds off of Lake Michigan picked up speed as it blows through downtown skyscrapers creating a wind tunnel affect that is hard to stand up against. Between 1860 and 1870 Cincinnati and Chicago were rival cities in the meat packing industry and the sport of baseball. In 1876 the Cincinnati Enquirer used the term, "Windy City" in regards to meaning full of bluster in Chicago.
There are also those who believe the name windy city came from the political style in Chicago, which was once regarded as a "spectator sport." The term windy city is thought by some to be a jab at the cities politicians who "blew a lot of hot wind.
What was once only a vision in the mind of an avid motorcycle rider became reality in 1993 when he put his entrepreneurial savvy to work co-founding the nation's first Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club. Adopting this historic name as their own, it was taken from the ranks of the late 19th century Union Army's all black units, known as Buffalo Soldiers. Representative of their positive image, honor and respect bestowed upon them by a fearsome fighter, the Native-American. The substance of these legendary people resulted in a Native-American name that captured the statue, zeal, essence and strength of those who had the uttermost respect for them. This recognition is again captured in the colors of the Buffalo Troopers MC, in our endeavor to "Bridge the Past with the Future".
Realizing his dream come true, Kenneth Thomas fittingly assumed the name, "Dream-Maker". Unfortunately the marriage between himself and the club was short lived due to irreconcilable differences. Refusing to allow his dream to succumb to uncontrollable forces, after the rights to the Chicago based Buffalo Soldier MC name was lost in litigation, Dream-Maker founded the Buffalo Troopers Motorcycle Club of Chicago in 1994. Its existence and selection of the clubs name was based on the membership recognizing the heroic deeds and sacrifices of the men and women of the Union Army's Colored Troops, a.k.a. the Buffalo Soldiers.
Moral principles exhibited by the members of the Chicago Buffalo Troopers MC apparently impressed and inspired others to establish sister chapters of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Clubs nationally and internationally. With an ever growing presence, chapters of the Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers MC grew from a humble beginning to a point that necessitated the formation of a National Association. Hence, the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Clubs were founded in 1999.
The make-up of the Buffalo Trooper MC is primarily comprised of current and retired law enforcement and military personnel. Of these two groups, individuals having served in both capacities have been afforded the opportunity to observe from a greater perspective the complete lack of respect, discipline, and concern for others from our youth.
We're elated that in this the 20th anniversary year of our founding, that so many dedicated and passionate individuals have been inspired to establish sister chapters throughout the United States, and Canada. As "The First of Many" we hope you find the contents herein interesting, and informative as you peruse the pages of the Chicago Buffalo Troopers MC web site.

Red Light Cameras
> Texas: Accidents Increase at Controversial Red Light Camera Intersection
Texas: Accidents Increase at Controversial Red Light Camera Intersection
Overall accidents rise at Baytown, Texas intersection a 18 months after installation of red light cameras.
Accidents rose after the installation of a red light camera at one major intersection in Baytown, Texas. The private company American Traffic Solutions began issuing automated tickets at the intersection of Garth and Baker Roads on March 21, 2008. Since then, safety has not improved at the controversial camera location.
According to a brochure published by the city, "red light safety cameras" were installed because, "There have been more than 1,000,000 accidents and more than 1000 deaths attributed to red light runners that occur each year in the United States." Presumably, the cameras are meant to reduce the number of collisions and deaths at Baytown intersections.
This has not happened according to accident reports from all three monitored approaches of the Garth and Baker intersection from eighteen months before the installation of cameras compared to the same period afterward. Instead, the total number of collisions grew by 11 percent. Although proponents of cameras frequently suggest that the increase in rear end collisions (31 percent in this case) is offset by the reduction in "more serious" collisions, the data show, to the contrary, that there was no reduction at all in the number of serious injury accidents.
"Remember this when the city tells you it is about safety,"
Baytown resident Byron Schirmbeck
said. "Keep in mind this is the city's own report."
Schirmbeck requested the accident data after noticing that the city had claimed a 63 percent accident reduction at the intersection in its report to the state department of transportation. He found the numbers hard to believe.
Schirmbeck has also twice caught the city shortening the yellow warning time in order to increase ticketing revenue at the same intersection. In June, he
challenged the city for using a 3.1 second yellow timing
, a value that was set just before camera installation after a "synchronization study." After the short yellow was exposed, the city was forced the city to increase the timing to the legal minimum of 4.5 seconds. In July, however, the city
shortened the yellow to just 4.0 seconds
and justified the move by installing a 40 MPH speed limit sign on the 45 MPH road. As of now, the city has replaced the lowered speed limit sign and increased the yellow to the bare minimum allowable time of 4.5 seconds.
Schirmbeck is circulating a petition to put the question of whether red light cameras should be banned to the voters. Earlier this month, College Station residents voted to ban automated enforcement. ATS deactivated its cameras in that city yesterday.
A copy of the accident data is available in a 1mb PDF file at the source link below.

Agritourism Explained and Explored
|Puerto Rico is known for producing top-tier coffee, like these red beans (Kate Chandler)
Puerto Rico
The vibrant culture of Puerto Rico is influenced by four centuries of Spanish colonization. Just a day's stroll along the narrow pink stone streets of Old San Juan touring historic structures gives a good impression of the island's Spanish Empire days. However, one of the best ways to experience the colorful culture is through its Latin Caribe-inspired cuisine and spirits.
Coffee, plantains, and rum are king here. And you can find a variety of foods and beverages laced with the flavors of these home-grown island products. Plantains are prepared in multiple ways for every meal including the national dish "mofongo," mashed fried plantains stuffed with pork, steak, or chicken. The best way to wash the entree down is with a Puerto Rican rum beverage. There are plenty of brands and types to choose from, as Puerto Rico claims the title of Rum Capital of the World. In fact, 77 percent of all rum sold in the United States comes from Puerto Rico. For a quick lesson on rum, consider a rum and food tasting dinner with Legends of Puerto Rico.
Touring distilleries and tasting rooms provides a good education on the history, farming of sugar cane, and creation of rum products in Puerto Rico. The family-operated Destileria Serralles offers a tasting room in Old San Juan for travelers to distinguish flavors among the range of their Don Q brand and other rums. Popular with the locals, Destileria Serralles has been around since 1865. Perched on a lush tropical landscaped hill, the family home, known as the Serralles Castle Museum, is open to the public and provides a greater perspective of the family's influence in Puerto Rican rum-making.
The Bacardi Corporation has by far the largest tourist facility on the island, with a 100-acre manufacturing plant that includes a visitor center. Plan to spend a few hours as you can enjoy free drinks in the open-air pavilion before beginning the tram tour into the factory where a history of sugar cane, rum-making, the Bacardi family history, and production processes are covered thoroughly by a Bacardi guide. And it's free.
DO: Seek out a smaller production distillery as they are making a splash with artisanal rums, such as Destileria Coqui, which makes island fruit-infused rums with tamarind, passion fruit, and guava to name a few. Attend the International Food & Rum Festival for a global perspective.

Stepping out into a mob of awaiting fans, Robert Pattinson left his New York City hotel earlier this afternoon (June 19).
Rocking his usual white tee and black hat, the "Twilight" hunk kept his pace quick as he made his way out into the Big Apple.
Long before he was a household name, Robert Pattinson had big dreams of making it in the music business as a rapper.
As a 14-year-old, the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" star even had the perfect stage name to solidify his status as a lyrical gangster.
With his massive amount of talent, Robert Pattinson could likely succeed at pretty much anything he set out to accomplish.
And the "Remember Me" hunk joked with the folks at "Good Morning America" today (June 17) that he's been thinking about a career change-up.
Kicking off his day with the morning paper, Robert Pattinson stepped out in the East Village of Manhattan today (June 17).
The "Rover" hunk was in good spirits as he greeted a few fans and signed autographs before heading off to his busy day ahead.
His new movie "The Rover" hits theaters June 20th, and Robert Pattinson chatted with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association about just what drew him to make the dystopian Australian flick.
It was a busy evening for Robert Pattinson as he took care of a pair of promotional appearances on Thursday night (June 12).
The "Remember Me" stud showed up at the Regency Bruin Theatre for the premiere of "The Rover" with his costar Guy Pearce.
When you're as big of a movie star as Robert Pattinson, sometimes just one lovely lady just isn't enough for a dinner out.
On Friday (June 6) the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" hunk was spotted taking both a blonde and a brunette woman for a meal at Otto Restaurant in Sydney, Australia.
Showing some love to his Australian fans, Robert Pattinson plugged his new film "The Rover" at the Sydney Theatre on Friday (June 6).
Joined by costar Guy Pearce, the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" hunk smiled for the cameras and told press he's always wanted to star in an Australian flick.

updated 03:45 pm EDT, Thu August 6, 2009
iRiver E200 now official
After a long delay, the sequel to the E100 portable media player has finally been made official. As previously rumored, the E200 now sports a metal body rather than a plastic one, with a slightly curved body at the rear for a more comfortable fit in a user's hand. The 2.8-inch LED display has a 320x240 resolution and will be available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities, with all also adding a microSD memory card slot.
There is support for FLAC, OGG, ASF, WMA, and MP3 audio filers, as well as RMVB, MPEG4, Xvid, WMV and RM videos. Photos in JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF formats can also be played back. There is also an FM tuner and a 1W speaker system to listen to any audio without needing headphones.
Despite the appearance, iRiver has not yet revealed pricing or release dates. Many though not all of its media players reach the US. [via PMPToday]

HOTEL CHECK-IN: Available from 4:00pm.
PROGRAM REGISTRATION: After you have your room assignment, come over to the Road Scholar desk in the lobby to register with the program staff and pick up your arrival packet that will contain your name tag, updated schedule, and other important information we will review during orientation.
ORIENTATION: We will gather for a warm welcome and introductions, followed by an orientation to the program. We will review the schedule and any changes; discuss responsibilities, safety guidelines, emergency procedures and contact numbers for key staff; and answer any questions you may have.
This special new program, a "cultural cavalcade" from Philadelphia to New York, is jointly hosted by Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks and Explore New York, Corp., both veteran Road Scholar program provider organizations.
On site at the Barnes, a museum educator will provide an introduction to the collection and galleries. The Barnes Foundation showcases one of the premier private art collections in the world featuring French Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early Modern paintings. The magnificent new building displays the collection in space that replicates the scale, proportion and configuration of the original galleries in Merion.
(If you would like an expanded Barnes Foundation experience, our Program 20707, "A World of Art" includes two Barnes field trips with free time opportunities to explore at your own pace.)
FIELD TRIP continues: The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Led by an educator, we will have an introduction to one of the nation's foremost destinations in which to see world-class art. After the presentation, you will have an opportunity to explore the exhibitions and galleries on your own. This grand museum, among the world�s greatest, began as a legacy of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. It is home to more than 227,000 objects spanning the creative achievements of the Western world since the first century AD and those of Asia since the third millennium BC. The European holdings date from the Medieval era to the present, and the collection of arms and armor is the second largest in the United States. The American collections are among the finest in the country, as are the expanding collections of modern and contemporary art.
We are scheduled to return to the hotel by 11:30am.
The Road Scholar program concludes in New York City and so your ticket is one-way. Should you wish to purchase a return trip ticket to Philadelphia rather than depart from New York, please contact Amtrak directly.
ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK: Upon arrival at Penn Station, you will be greeted by a member of the Explore New York staff, who will conduct you to the nearby New Yorker Hotel where you will register and have an opportunity to relax before dinner.
EXCURSION: Following orientation, we will walk to the iconic Empire State Building affording the most exciting view of America's cultural capital.
LECTURE: Massenet and "Werther." Best known for his operas, Jules Massenet (1842-1912) was one of the foremost French composers of his time and one of the greatest melodists.
Massenet completed �Werther� in 1887. It was based on a novel by Goethe more than a century earlier that was inspired in part by real life situations. The music is gorgeous but the story is one of the saddest in all of opera, ironically beginning and ending with a Christmas carol.
FIELD TRIP: The Met. This, the largest museum in the U.S., is one of the three largest in the world, with one of the most significant collections. Our reserved group status at a special discounted rate allows us to bypass the admission lines. You will then have free time to explore on your own.
WRAP-UP: The Group Leader will moderate a wrap-up discussion of program highlights to conclude our cultural cavalcade.
We hope you have enjoyed this exciting new program and will return for other rewarding Road Scholar learning adventures in the future. Best wishes for all your journeys!
As the program commenced in Philadephia and concludes in New York City, you will have made your travel plans for your own independent departure.

Smile, no matter what they tell you
F#m A#dim C#m
Don't listen to a word they say
A#m G# C#
Cause life is beautiful that way.
Tears, a tidal wave of tears
Light, that slowly disappears
Wait, before you close the curtain
There is still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way

Here with his eyes forevermore
F#m C#m F#m
I will always be as close as you

And think about a brighter day
Cause life is beautiful that way.
We'll forget about our sorrows
And think about a brighter day,
Cause life is beautiful that way
There's still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way.

Some very lovely bitmaps for free from Mark Simonson:
While I'm not sure yet if any are worthy of replacing the MS designs for my
on-screen reading, it's interesting that he says he "made these fonts back
when a pixel was worth something. I had intended to market them, but along
came PostScript and high-res imagesetters and, well, there didn't seem to be
much point. I have decided to release them into the public domain."
Didn't seem to be much point? Mr. Simonson might kick himself if he knew of

Its not what Richard Sherman said Sunday night that annoys. The man graduated from Stanford with a degree in Communications. He knew what he was saying, and he said it well.
Im the best corner in the game! Sherman noted coast to coast, to Fox TVs Erin Andrews. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, thats the result youre going to get. Dont you ever talk about me. Dont you open your mouth about the best, or Ill shut it for you real quick. LOB [Legion of Boom]!
The Morning Line
Weekend recap: Best of sports
Super Bowl first look: Old guard vs. new order
No, it wasnt that he misspoke. Considering Sherman had made a game-saving play maybe five minutes earlier, in a game where the players were trying to rip each others throats out on every play, his rant was exceptionally focused, even eloquent. The end-zone deflection he made on San Francisco wideout Michael Crabtree spoke to Shermans exceptional talent. He didnt need to embellish.
So why did he?
Football isnt about manhood, OK? Every NFL player has the sort of courage that lots of us admire. Its not about pushing and shoving. Any drunk in a bar can do that. Its not about talking all the damned time, which NFL players do now. People will remember Shermans mouth long after they remember his cover skills. And thats too bad.
Civility in sports didnt die with Richard Shermans free-form tirade Sunday night. Civility has been dead awhile, same as Joe DiMaggio and Friday Night Fights. You cannot watch an NFL game for five minutes now without the self-glorification smacking you like a horse-collar tackle. Look At Me moments are as obvious as the Geico ads.
Does this bother you?
Or am I just being Old Guy, telling kids to get off my lawn?
Last summer, I suggested Homer Bailey tarnished his no-hitter when he dropped an F-bomb into a live, postgame interview. The Twitterverse acted as if Id stolen its collective password. Homer, some said, was entitled. Ditch your walker, gramps. Live a little.
From purely an entertainment standpoint, Shermans tirade was tons o fun. I chuckled, as my eyebrows elevated. And sometimes, we do forget what its like to ask NFL players to subject themselves to controlled violence for three hours, then be thoroughly composed shortly afterward. A 10-minute cooling off period is hardly enough, especially after a game as down and dirty as Seattle-San Francisco was. Im always amazed at the composure shown by coaches at the podium, so soon after theyve had their spleens removed in a big game.
And we heathen media are hypocrites, no question. We live for Richard Sherman Moments, those rare reality tangents when players actually say what theyre thinking. When we get them, we turn their authors into hamburger meat.
However. . .
Is it too much to expect a professional to act like one?
Sherman made a great play. It was the sort of play the best corner in the league should make. We all saw it, and accepted it as such. How much cooler would Sherman be today if hed said simply, As the best corner in the league, Im supposed to make that play. Crabtree is a good player. I just got him that time. Congrats to the Niners. They played a great game today. Instead, he turned what should have been a collective celebration into the Richard Sherman Show.
Football is becoming more violent. Football is becoming more emotionally supercharged. Watch the post-play scuffles between defensive backs and wideouts. Its Wrestlemania out there. Regardless, Ive always admired the ability of these guys to shake bleeding hands and hug right after games. That shows a respect and maturity all sports should breed.
Were straying from that. Now, its shoves and woofing after every play. It can seem less about the play than the talk. It dishonors the nobility of the game. Plus, it just looks stupid.
Dont stand at the plate and admire your home run. Drop the bat and run the bases. Dont slam your chest after every dunk or 3-pointer. Get back on defense. Dont belittle a player against whom youve competed for three hours. We dont need your help to recognize your ability. We saw what you did. For better or worse.
Congratulations to Sherman, a very good player who made a very good play. Did his job, in other words. Now, please, act as if youve been there before.
And by the way, get off my lawn.

Memorial Day is a day to honor those who have served our country. It is also the unofficial start of summer and camping season!
From roughing it underneath the stars to relaxing in the comfort of a cabin, we have books to help get your ready for your outdoors vacation.
If you're looking for the classic North Shore vacation, take a look at Nina's North Shore Guide by Nina A. Simonowicz. From Duluth to the Canadian border, Simonowicz gives advice on the best places to eat, what to do on a rainy day, historical sites, campgrounds, ect.
If you want to journey to another part of the state try Minnesota's State Parks by Anne Arthur or County Parks of Minnesota by Timothy J. Engrav.

The authors give a summary of the parks' features, what types of campgrounds are available and some nearby attractions.
We also have books on different outdoor activities in our state. One of my favorite summer pastimes is hiking. It doesn't matter if it's climbing over rocks on the Temperance River State Park trails or walking around Pomme de Terre. Some library books that I've found useful are Great Minnesota Walks by Wm. Chad McGrath and Waterfalls of Minnesota's North Shore by Eve & Gary Wallinga

Without a doubt, the holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year! With the beautiful blue Christmas lights that decorate Chapman Commons, the holiday concerts and the free hot chocolate and candy canes every other day, there's nothing better than the holidays at TU. Not even finals can dampen the spirit…as long as you approach finals correctly. Finals are always meant to help YOU. If you've done well in the class so far, then you've already done half of your studying. If you need to do better, then your final is a saving grace.
The first step? Don't dread your finals. True, you're not going to be excited about taking a test, but the fact of the matter is you have to take it eventually. Thus, you might as well have a good attitude about it. The more you talk about how much you don't like finals, the better you become at subconsciously finding ways to procrastinate. And let's face it, nobody needs help procrastinating MORE. It's important to admit to the reality that is finals week, but the key is to not become consumed by it. Continue reading

Ice Cube does not need Chris Tucker to make another Friday movie happen.
Reports of another installment of the Friday franchise have been bubbling away for a very long time. Sadly, no cast has been finalized, but many are hoping that Chris will return for the final edition of Friday. There's even been a fan-made mockup of a possible movie poster that featured his character Smokey.
Unfortunately, the comedian has some doubts about whether he and Ice Cube can bring back the same magic that made the original Friday a classic.
Ice Cub is confident he can keep up his end of the chemistry. "Well, my magic is still here so the movie is going to get done. The movie is going to be funny, and it's going to live up to all the long-anticipated wait," the rapper-actor told The Huffington Post.
"I would hope that he'll be a part of it. He's more than welcome to be a part of it," Cube added. "It's a trip, because you're looking and somebody says that 'the magic is not even there' who's never even tried it."
And, for Ice Cube, the fact that the first movie was such a hit is a testament to how successful a new installment could be. That's not even mentioning the fact that fans that have been hoping for the rapper and Chris to reunite on screen.
"We put the first one together and we can put another one together. So he should really trust that, and do what his fans want him to do," Cube argued. "You should never out grow your fans. And if the fans want him to do this movie, that's what we're in this for, then that's what he should do."
