What follows is an article that I found on Pheromones by the
American Psychology Association not necessarialy a positive article, but there are nuggets. The following excerpt
has to do with androstadienone and estratetraenol and I didn't see this mentioned in the library...or maybe I
haven't read far
http://www.apa.org/monitor/oct02/phe...r /> nes.html
Pheromones, in context
In a field plagued by murky results
and marketing hype, a few things are finally becoming clear.
Monitor staff
Print version: page
...In 1999, Noam Sobel, PhD, and his colleagues
at Stanford University used functional magnetic resonance imaging to show that the human brain responded to
androstadienone even when subjects were unable to smell it, a result confirmed in a later study by Jacob, McClintock
and their colleagues. In 2001, Ivanka Savic, PhD, and her colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden reported
that androstadienone and estratetraenol affected men and women's brains differently: The former boosted
hypothalamic activity only in women, while the latter increased hypothalamic activity only in men. The hypothalamus
influences the pituitary gland's release of hormones, so it is in a key position to affect reproductive behavior.
Despite these suggestive neuroimaging results, it
remains unclear how the presence of pheromones is communicated to the brain. In many animals, a pair of tiny ducts
in the nasal septum called the vomeronasal organ (VNO) is responsible for detecting pheromones, but the evidence for
a working human VNO is mixed at best. Because the main olfactory epithelium, where ordinary smells are detected, can
also detect pheromones in some animals, the absence of a VNO would not rule out the possibility of human pheromones.
But its presence would be a major support for the pheromone boosters.
In a series of experiments in the 1990s,
researchers at the University of Utah claimed to have shown not only that the human VNO existed, but that
adrostadienone and estratetraenol elicited different electrical responses in the VNOs of men and women. The result
parallels that of Savic's neuroimaging study and, if true, would provide for a pathway for pheromones to influence
the brain. However, because the Utah group is also heavily invested in a pheromone-based pharmaceutical company,
many researchers are skeptical of their results, especially since no one has yet discovered a functional nerve
linking the VNO to the human brain.
"I don't see any serious scientific
flaws in the experiments they've published, but then again, they haven't published everything they've done," says
Michael Meredith, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at Florida State University, who recently reviewed the evidence
for the human VNO. He concluded that the evidence remains equivocal, and that only further research--by other groups
of researchers--will resolve the debate. Bernard Grosser, MD, chair of the psychiatry department at the University
of Utah, acknowledges that a pathway from VNO to brain remains to be found, but he says he is confident that one
exists. "Anyone who has gone in and duplicated the work we've done has found essentially the same results," he

I am stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC. Have not seen anyone shooting film in years. But on the 4th of July, Julianne Hough (Country Music performer and 2x Winner of Dancing with the Stars) was performing and one of the "guys allowed near the outdoor stage" was shooting a Canon FT, he was probably close to my age, late 40s.
After the concert I tracked him down to talk. I told him that I had not seen anyone shooting film in years, and that I bet he thought he had the oldest camera at the event. Then I pulled out my 1951 Franka Rolfix, needless to say we had a great conversation about the good old days.

Carver, Martin, Antiquity
"Here nature bids us take our stand And cut a window into Europe, To build a haven on the strand And welcome ships from every land And with our guests make merry ..."
A C Pushkin. The Bronze Horseman
As reported by the incomparable Pushkin, Peter the Great was moved to cut a window into Europe by building the city of St Petersburg (briefly Leningrad) which this year celebrated its 300th anniversary. The organisers of the European Archaeology Association conference which was held there in September opened a number of windows too--in this case so that Europeans from western countries could gaze into the varied and fascinating archaeology of Russia. And not just European Russia either; of 517 papers presented in 48 parallel sessions, more than 70 were actually about Central Asia. Delegates encountered such diverse topics as Palaeolithic migrations and adaptations in northern Eurasia, Iron Age settlement in the trans-Urals, sub-arctic zones of West Siberia in the sixth-eighth centuries AD, reconstructions of private life from the birch-bark documents of Novgorod, and a session on the archaeological story of St Petersburg itself.
The agenda was particularly interesting for its archaeological theory. Contributors stressed that the Soviet period, which had brought its own rather particular view of the past, was only one episode in the work of a vigorous theoretical college long active in Russia. In the 1850s, Prince P. A. Poutiane corresponded with Lubbock about flints he had discovered at Bologoe, and travelled regularly to Europe, returning laden with the writings of Lyell, Mortillet, Cartailhac and Capitan. Boucher de Perthes visited Russia in 1856, while still shunned by the French scientific establishment. As Igor Tikhonov reminded delegates, the teaching of prehistoric archaeology began at St Petersburg University in the later 1880s at the Department of Geography and Ethnography. By the 1920s, as shown by Nadezhda Platonova, Russian archaeologists regarded their subject as a branch of anthropology, and liked to interpret cultural material in terms of "social regularities revealed by ethnology". In Russian circles, this approach is considered to have long foreshadowed the "New Archaeology" in the west. But sadly those early palaeo-ethnologists--or proto-processualists--had no chance to bring their work to fruition, and the "majority of their theoretical and methodological work remained unpublished" due to the dominance of Marxism--then considered "the only true theory". There was also an interesting take on the role of the environment in Russian archaeology from Olena Smyntyna. In Soviet prehistory, ecological case studies began to appear at the end of the 1960s in connection with the large-scale introduction of scientific methods on excavations. But "unlike western scholars, Soviet scholars are inclined to believe that social factors in prehistory reduce environmental impact on material culture". Some would say that east and west are both now getting the social and the environmental into balance.
Other scholars praised the benefits of continual opposition and debate, as a consequence of freedom from a dominant theory: "a battery can produce an electric current only through the operation of opposing dipoles" (Andrei Sinitsyn and John Hoffecker). One is full of admiration that a country which has had to cope with so much politics has also managed to do so much archaeology. Nick Petrov and his team deserve our warmest congratulations. Antiquity hopes in future to give still more of a platform to the discoveries and thinking of this vast area, starting with a special feature in the Project Gallery (http://antiquity.ac.uk).
Brilliant as the papers were, there breathed few delegates with souls so dead that they could long resist the allure of Anna Akhmatova's city. First stop was naturally the Hermitage, well-known as an enormous collection of pictures, initiated by Catherine the Great and swollen by many later donors (willing or enforced) such as Count Stroganoff (of beef stew fame). …

Why Pick Hostgator?

The thing that draws the huge amounts of customers to the hostgator website is the amazing deals that are offered with hostgator discount codes. The discount codes offer deals that range from $0.01for the first month fee to 25% discount on any plan. In total, the customer can save up to $600 depending on the chosen plan. The coupon codes offered with Hostgator together with already discounted plans can help you start your website at a very low initial price. In this article, we will explain more about dealing with Hostgator discount codes.
A Summary of Hostgator
The discount codes available with the Hostgator web hosting plans are lucrative. However, the customers should be aware whether it is a good company or not and if these promo codes are truly customer service or a compensation for something that is not offered. In this section we will provide an overview of Hostgator as a web host and the uses of the different discount codes available with Hostgator.
Hostgator as a company was initiated in the year 2002 by a person called Brent Oxley. The growth of this company was spectacular and there was a strong emphasis on customer service. Oxley, was then still a University student when he began the company. After just four years in 2006, Hostgator had already crossed 200,000 registered domain addresses. Hostgator's growth story kept continuing, when after two more years Hostgator ranked in the top 25 fastest-growing organizations. In 2011 Hostgator opened offices outside of the US, in India and by the end of the next year it had already 8 million domain registrations. Thus, Hostgator successfully registered from 200,000 to over 8 million domains in nearly six years. The coupon code that the company is providing above the concessional plans is terrific customer service.
Hostgator is widely considered as a better web hosting service provider in the entire industry. Its popularity is almost the same as WordPress's popularity is. Hostgator is the preferred choice of many website owners just as WordPress is. The availability of hostgator coupon code is an added benefit to its customers.
Grab 25% Discount For Reseller Hosting Plans – RESELLERSUPERDISCOUNT
Hostgator has over 8 million registered domain addresses and it is considered as one of the top web hosting providers. Its main features include 1-click WordPress installation, 99.9% uptime assuredness and 24X7 customer support. It is the preferred choice of many webmasters due to all of these excellent features. WPBeginner is also hosted on the Hostgator servers.
There are three main web hosting plans of the HostGator web host that are the Hatchling Plan, the Baby Plan and Business Plan.
- Hatchling Plan
- Baby Plan
- Business Plan
The Hatchling plan is the primary plan with restricted options. Secondly, the Baby Plan is the optimum alternative to a blogger as it supports multiple web domain hosting, unlimited bandwidth and storage space. The third one or Business Plan has been created especially for professional Internet Marketers who have to host loads of blogs and websites.
Hatchling Plan – In the hatchling Plan, the user is provided only a single domain and unlimited disk storage and bandwidth. A shared SSL certificate is also given to each user.
Baby plan – In the Baby plan there is unlimited number of domains available to the users, they are offered unlimited disk space and bandwidth. A shared SSL certificate is also offered to each user.
Business Plan – In the Business Plan, users are given unlimited domain names, unlimited disk storage and bandwidth and a free and private SSL and IP. In addition, they are given a free toll free number of the customer support in case of any queries.
Although, all the web hosting plans of HostGator are quite similar in features and utility, but still they are priced differently. While the Hatchling plan can be bought at $2.23 per month, the baby plan comes at an affordable $3.58 per month and the business plan can be availed for a mere $5.83 for each month.
Therefore, instead of choosing a webhosting plan that is not required by you, you must do a close analysis of all the plans and then choose the one which suits you the best. After this, carefully search and select the correct coupon code and apply it to avail lucrative discounts.
Hostgator Discount Codes for Customer Benefit
Hostgator is although regarded as a budget hosting provider, but it maintains its quality and standards. With Hostgator you do not need to choose between performance and price because you get both with it.
Many web hosts earn their living through shared hosting in which customers share hard disk space on a server. This offers good value or money for the customers. Although, Hostgator is used mainly for shared hosting plans but it also provides reseller hosting, dedicated servers and VPS hosting. Each of these variants has separate plans for different needs of its customers.
Hostgator also offers its customers a 20% discount only for sign up and there are various discount codes available with hostgator as well. The features such as this have allowed the company to be even more popular and many new sites are now available that show Hostgator's promo codes on them.
Grab 25% Discount For VPS and Dedicated Hosting – HOSTGATORVPSDEAL
Hostgator was aware that if they keep offering quality services and exceptional product support then their popularity would grow by word-of-mouth and external links directed to their site. If you type the words "Hostgator Review" you would come to know how top rated Hostgator site is as compared to others. This shows that company is not only attracting new customers but making efforts to retain existing ones as well. Another keyword that would show up lots of results is "HostGator Coupons" that will provide results of different coupons which when applied would reduce the cost of Hostgator plans.
Deriving Benefit from Hostgator Discount
Hostgator provides a minimum of 25% off to all new sign ups. The customer just needs to select his desired plan and the 20% off coupon will automatically be applied. Then they can begin hosting their website. There are even more discount codes available for those who want even more discounts and they should search further.
Grab 1 Cent Hosting For Your First Month – SUPER1CENTDEAL
Rating: 9.5/10 Strongly Recommended
Typing in the keywords "hostgator coupons" will give more results of available coupons and the steps to apply them. We will display a few of such discount codes that are applicable and will also teach how to apply them. Hostgator is one of the finest hosting websites available at the moment. They have numerous flexible plans, excellent support and amazing discount codes available and all the investment made by the customers would be worth it with Hostgator.
We receives Hostgator coupons as we are one the affiliate partners of Hostgator. If these coupons are used, then we receive some compensation from them. But, it will never affect the cost of hosting plans for you. All my reviews are completely based on my own experience with hosting company.

Optimized Garlic, 200 vegetarian capsules Item Catalog Number: 01394 Garlic has been valued for centuries for its multi-faceted benefits. It has antioxidant action and can boost the level of natural glutathione, an important cellular detoxifier. The compounds allicin and oligosulfides found in garlic support healthy platelet function. Garlic may also act as a chelator of iron and other heavy metals that can accumulate in the body. Published studies demonstrate garlic' s immune-supporting properties and numerous other health benefits. Garlic is reported to stimulate immunity, including macrophage activity, natural killer and killer cells, and LAK cells. It has also been shown to increase the production of IL-10 and to decrease the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1alpha, IL-2, IL-6, and T-cell interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).65 Clinical studies show that as much as 5– 10 grams of garlic extract is effective in enhancing human immune responses. Life Extension' s Optimized Garlic supplements contain allicin, a key health-promoting component of non-aged garlic. In fact, studies have highlighted allicin' s involvement in immune response and oxidative stress. References1. Mol Biother. 1991 Jun 3(2):103-7.2. Carcinogenesis. 1993 Aug 14(8):1627-31. 3.

Boreas, God of the North Wind
Wind god
Of Winter and North Wind
Swept down from cold northern mountains
of Thrake
He blew
Cold icy gusts
Of breath from bloated cheeks
Hair and beard spiked with ice, wide mouth
Seen as horse-shaped
Purple-winged swift stallion
He swept down on mares early spring
To sire
For King of Troy
Mated with Trojan mares
Fathered the swift, wind-shaped stallions
For him
He found
King of Athens'
Daughter, Oreithyia
In riverside meadow, playing,
by her dancing
And struck with mad desire
He abducted her to the sky
To wed
Hid her
In soft white clouds
Their love seeded daughter

I thought of that. Two reasons I guess. I would have to buy one, and I am concerned about the same issues in 1 above....image degradation and vignetting when used in conjunction w/ the yellow filter. I really like the K2 filter to add contrast and punch up the skies a little.
I was thinking of going out and shooting tomorrow, so it would help if I can get by w/ what I have, as I would have to order a ND filter.

Highlighted and color-treated hair is especially prone to dryness and damage, but many color-specific products only mask the issue—the haircare equivalent of slapping a flimsy bandage on a gaping wound. Kérastase's Masque Chroma Riche Treat conditioner actually gets to the root of the problem (pun intended): the formula repairs texture to give you softer, healthier, and shinier hair.
The product's directions were not in English so I really did not know how to use it. How long was I to leave it in? Is it okay to use after your regular conditioner? I also did not notice much of a difference in my hair. Maybe it was slightly softer but definitely not worth the price to purchase the full size. I have many other cheaper leave in serum type products that are much more effective. Also, there are instructions that I could read, unlike this product.2
I didn't like how the packaging had no directions for use. I actually had to come to the Birchbox website to find out how to use it. I also didn't like that you had to actually get out of shower and then back in the shower to do the treatment. That is too much work for me.2
I've received MANY samples of hair products through Birchbox, including shampoos, conditioners and hair masks. I was very excited to get the Kerastase product because I know the brand is known for their high quality products. But, this particular product did not wow me. I used it twice and tried leaving it on longer the second time to see if it made my hair feel softer. But, on my hair (long and wavy) it just didn't work well.2
I was so super excited to try this product as I had heard nothing but great things. After using it once I was slightly disappointed. While it did leave my hair super soft on the first day, by the next day it looked and felt very greasy. I thought to myself...well maybe I didn't wash it out completely. So I tried it again and was extra careful to ensure that I did in fact wash the product out completely...same effect. I am truly in love with my Peter Thomas Roth condition and will stick with that.2

Don't be surprised to see something 'pearly' on the prize list of the Hobson's Bay Yacht Club (HBYC)'s Lady Skippers Trophy Race this Sunday 21st April as it celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Female members of HBYC attend a training session organised by WOW.
The race is open to all female helms – crew can be of either gender – from any club around the bay. It is also the fourth race in the hotly-contested Port Phillip Women's Championship Series (PPWCS), which combines five races into one trophy series.
HBYC has a long tradition of encouraging women on the water. The club welcomed its first female member and boat owner – Shirley Freeman - in 1974. The name may sound familiar to many sailors, since the club's rescue boat - often seen out and about on the race course - is named after her.
In October last year, HBYC formed the 'Women on Water' group – fondly known as 'WOW' - to encourage more female members from HBYC to compete in the Women in Sailing Challenge (WISC) held by Sandringham Yacht Club every year. The idea hit the right note and is now a popular and growing part of the club's sailing scene. WOW facilitates boats for female members to race on, and organises training programs, theory sessions and social events.
Maureen Dickens, an active WOW member, said she feared she was suffering burnout from too much fun! 'We are still buzzing from all the full-on sailing activities both on and off the water. It is great for us to get out there in our own right, hone the skills we've learnt in the training sessions, and try positions that we haven't had the opportunity to do before. I am loving being on the helm!'
WOW was inspired by Waikawa Boat Club in New Zealand, who started a similar group five years ago, and Maureen will be presenting a burgee from the Waikawa Boat Club to HBYC after this Sunday's Lady Skipper Trophy Race.
Last year's race was won by Julianne Gibson (Kerina), who will be presenting the trophy to this year's winner at a social event at HBYC after the race. And for those who have never been to a WOW social event – these girls know how to celebrate. Don't miss it!

Transmit Component Video Over Cat. 5Ideal for such devices as DVD players, satellite receivers, plasma displays, projectors, monitors, amplifiers, switchers, and other equipment supporting HDTV component video and/or digital audio, the Component Video/Digital Audio Baluns allow one component video (YPbPr or RGB) signal and one digital audio signal to be transmitted via cost-effective unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable in a point-to-point configuration. Used in pairs, the Component Video, Digital Audio Baluns support 480i/p, 720p and 1080i/p resolution for hi-definition (HDTV) video applications.
Transmit Over Longer Distances Than HDMIHDMI is a great connection protocol, but it's limited in how far you can transmit - the signal degrades at lengths over about 10'. However, with these baluns and some Cat 5 cable, you can successfully transmit HDTV signals up to 500' without degradation. Now you don't have to worry about poor signals when connecting a projector to your rack system or feeding the plasma screen in the den.
Advantage of Using BalunsBecause they contain isolation transformers and utilize twisted cabling, baluns eliminate the ground loops that cause background hum and rolling interference. Baluns also extend transmission distances, passively transmitting audio and video signals up to 2500 feet. In addition to these Component Video/Digital Audio Baluns, numerous audio and video baluns are available and are sold separately.

Review of 7829da2
This is a good product, however it took some time to resolve a gremlin in the machine. This unit it subject to ground loop issues. I was connecting over a 100 ft Cat5 cable to another room in my house and the image was completely unwatchable green horizontal image distortion. After much trouble shooting, I lifted the ground on my LCD display and the problem was 100% resolved. The manual that comes with this unit has no practical troubleshooting - no mention of ground loop sensitivity - so be prepared to lift the grounds on your equipment for acceptable results. FYI, this same Cat5 cable/run worked fine with VGA baluns with no ground loop issues.

The pair of baluns works great to transmit HD over CAT5. No problems in over a months' use. You are limited to mono sound over a single CAT5 but this is not a problem for me since I am sending to an LCD TV using the TVs speakers.

Christian Zionism promoting Islamophobia in US
The growing movement of Islamophobia in the United States is a troubling phenomenon for many. But the factors contributing to it are less well-known. Experts say one of these factors is Christian Zionism.It is found mainly in the bible belt region of the United States, from the south to the midwest. The zealous efforts of evangelical Christians has spurred more publicly discussed subjects such as their anti-abortion and anti-evolution campaigns. But a lesser discussed issue is their often anti-Islamic views, which experts state correlate with their support for Israel. Christian Zionists are believed to number around 40 or 50 million in the United States. The movement's support for Israel derives from a desire for the return of Jesus on earth, which many Christian Zionists say can only happen if Jews are returned to the Holy Land. Therefore, supporting Israel is a necessary part to many Christian Zionists' faith. This has led well-known evangelical leaders, like John Hagee and Pat Robertson, to label those opposed to Israeli policies as enemies. Analysts say this ideology has made its way into the US government, and has been influencing US policy, most recently with their opposition to Chuck Hagel as Defense Secretary. Christian Zionists have also supported the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and have called for a war with Iran.

Urban farming can redeem a small portion of Detroit's vacant land for productive use. But local clashes over farming activities in cities like Madison Heights and Sterling Heights reflect a growing problem that could become epidemic in Michigan's largest city.
To protect residents, local control and neighborhoods, state law must exempt Detroit from the Michigan Right to Farm Act, as provided in a bill introduced by state Rep. Gabe Leland, D-Detroit.
A Nov. 21 Detroit Free Press story showed how urban farmers are citing the state law, which is little known outside of Michigan's more agricultural townships, in disputes with municipalities over backyard henhouses. The law supersedes local ordinances and zoning regulations.
But the Michigan Right to Farm Act was never intended to protect commercial farming in urban settings. It was enacted in 1981 to protect existing farmland from urban sprawl and nuisance suits, and then amended in 2000 to protect farmland from annexation and zoning changes. It provides needed protection for the commercial production of farm products where agriculture is a preferred use.
But cities like Detroit don't have existing farms and the preferred use is not agriculture. "The city risks losing local control over land use if it approves these farms and then has its zoning pre-empted by the Michigan Right to Farm Act," said John Mogk, a law professor at Wayne State University and urban policy expert.
Exempting Detroit from the Farm Act would enable the city to develop its own reasonable ordinances to regulate urban farming and protect residents from noise, odors, dust, truck traffic and other problems. Cleveland; Bloomington, Ind.; and Madison, Wis., are among the cities that have adopted zoning ordinances to govern urban farming.
Detroit has lost more than half its population since the 1950s; nearly a third of its 139 square miles are vacant, amounting to more than 25,000 acres. Detroit businessman John Hantz, among others, has proposed commercial farming on vacant land within the city that is now off the tax rolls.
The city should encourage those efforts. Urban farming can make use of tracts that are unlikely to attract residential or commercial development in the foreseeable future,creating jobs while providing fresh, locally grown vegetables and fruit -- sorely needed commodities in an impoverished city that has been largely abandoned by chain grocery stores.
But Detroit is, and will remain, Michigan's largest city. It should have the authority to regulate urban farming consistent withprevailing urban needs and neighborhood interests.

I am looking for good ways to retrieve images from MongoDB and display them. For example, to retrieve a profile picture and display it on a profile page, this is how I am currently doing it:
profile page
block content
h1= session.user.name
exports.avatars = (req, res) ->
users.find req.session.user, (err, user) ->
if user
res.writeHead('200', {'Content-Type': 'image/png'})
res.end(user.avatar.data, 'binary')
res.locals.flash = err
res.render('index', {title: 'Home'})
Basically I render the profile page, and the
img tag sends a request back to the server to pick up the picture of the user from the database. Im saving the images as BinData in MongoDB. Not using
GridFS because I expect the pictures to be small.
Is there a better way to do this?? I tried to send the image data directly to the jade view using
res.render('users/show', {picture: data}) but the
img tag didn't like that and I'm not clear on why. Is this approach a dead end?
Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Backed to the brown wars of the square
The lightless lorry headlamps stare
With glinting reflectors through the night
At our gliding star of light.
Houses are tombs, tarpaulins cover
Mysterious trucks of the lorries over.
The town vacantly seems to wait
The explosion of a fate.
Our cigarettes and talking stir
Beneath the walls a small false ember.
A sentry stops us at his hut
Stamping with his rifle-butt.
Beside him stands a working man
With cheeks where suns have run.
'Take this comrade to the next village.'
The lines ploughed with ravage
Lift to a smile, the eyes gleam
And then relapse into their dream.
Head bent, he shuffles forward
And in without a word.

my search keeps coming up with others using the midge one bars which are wide flared out drops..
If you are talking about Nitto mustache bars you should be using road levers.
Here's someone spotted this past weekend at the Sacramento CX race:
nice! from the looks of it, he's even using an sti shifter on the right?
I don't think I'd like mustache bars for cross, I think the ends would be too close to my body and I'd probably be hitting my knees or my chest when dismounting or something. Plus the positions mustache bars offer I don't think would be helpful racing. I doubt I'd find myself putting my hands anywhere but in the curves whereas regular drops I'm on the hoods or in the drops or on top of the bar during races.
BTW- mustache bars are sized and meant for road brake levers, not mtn levers.
fun facts: Psychopaths have trouble understanding abstract concepts.
"Incompetent individuals, compared with their more competent peers, will dramatically overestimate their ability and performance relative to objective criteria."
I use a pair of redline moustache bars on my SS bike. I find them a ton of fun to race and cornering on these extra wide bars is noticeably better. No issues with knee interference. I use some old school white non-aero modolo concorde levers that took me 6 months to find on ebay.
I also get lots of extra encouragement during races because people love the bars.

I'm not one for fawning over bicycles, but I do believe that our bikes communicate with us, and what this bike is saying is, "You're an idiot." BikeSnobNYC
I'm inspired. I'm going to put my campy ergo on the right and a cane creek on the left for a 1X8 or 1x9?? I hope getting to the dog tag ear isn't difficult.
On a similar note (i've already asked on the mechanics section already but figure i'd ask here as well), anyone know if a campy mirage ergo 9speed will work with a Shimano Sora rear and 8 speed cassette, ala hubbub method? I know it works for 10 sp ergo/9sp shimano cassette and derailleur.

A company has come out with Kristen Stewart is a Trampire T-shirts. What do you think of them?
What do you think of Kristen Stewart is a Trampire T-shirts?
This is totally sexist if a 22 year old guy were doing exactly what kristen stewart is doing hollywood would think nothing of it. Think about it--if Rob pattison beat kristen to it and was cheating on her with a married director or producer hollywood would turn a blind eye to it and tell her to get over it. I am so sick of this worl treating women like second class citizens. Kristen is not married--that director is...leave her alone she is free white and can do what she wants. Why isn't eberyone giving the cheater married director a hard time and telling Rob to get over it am move on.
Gee whiz with all the perfect people bashing a 22 year old girl, you would think that we live in a Eutopian society, People need to mind their own business and take a look around before throwing stones!!!
Hey it's just a movie, not a lifestyle, give the lady a break.
This has gone too damn far! She made a mistake and she admitted it! Get a life people!

Re: Had Sisko Always Been Command Track
That's probably what "command track" means. An officer that isn't part of a "specialty" like medical, science or engineering. COs most likely tend to come from security, tactical and flight control. All officers probably have some sort of "command" training in the sense that they would need that to supervise junior officers and enlisted men, but that wouldn't mean they were command material.

I was just wanting to know some women's experiences who have had to use/be induced by foley balloons.

Go back to the main New Year's Eve page.
Music & Fireworks
Ring in the new year and rock out the old with Music City and thousands of your closest friends at Nashville's New Year's Eve party on Lower Broadway. Bring your party hats. Make some noise. Count down to the fireworks and midnight "Music Note Drop®"!
Kings of Leon will headline the 2015 Bash on Broadway!
Kings of Leon
Comprised of three Followill brothers -- Caleb (guitar), Nathan (drums), and Jared (bass), as well as first cousin Matthew Followill (guitar) -- Kings of Leon formed in 2000. Oklahoma natives, the Followill siblings spent much of their youth traveling to churches across the South with their mother and father, a Pentecostal preacher.
Kings of Leon's debut album Youth and Young Manhood was released in 2003 and became an immediate sensation in the UK and Ireland, where NME declared it "one of the best debut albums of the last 10 years" and The Guardian described the band as "the kind of authentic, hairy rebels The Rolling Stones longed to be". The group achieved opening spots for U2, Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan after the release of their sophomore album, Aha Shake Heartbreak, and continued to garner acclaim with Because of the Times, which debuted at No. 25 on the U.S. Billboard 200.
In 2008, the group released Only By The Night, the record that catapulted the band into the mainstream. The multi-platinum-selling album debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, hit No. 1 in five countries, sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide, and earned Kings of Leon three Grammy® Awards, including wins for their Modern Rock radio multi-week No. 1's "Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody".
Kings of Leon continued to follow their own muse and refused to play it safe in their 2010 album Come Around Sundown. Keeping with their grand and propulsive rock sound combined with intimate post-punk moods, the album upped the ante by connecting the dots between the blues, classic rock and gospel influences of the Followills' childhood to the alternative and indie rock of their adulthood. Come Around Sundown and their latest release, 2013's Mechanical Bull, earned the Kings Grammy ® nominations in the Rock category and continue to top charts worldwide.
Kings of Leon got their start in Nashville by playing open mic nights, songwriters' nights and booking gigs at local songwriter hot spots like the Bluebird Café. Members collaborated with other Nashville songwriters – most notably Angelo Petraglia – who helped them hone in on their unique rock & roll sound. While Kings of Leon continues to record and tour worldwide, each member calls Nashville home.
Chris Stapleton
Chris Stapleton's debut album, Traveller is out now to widespread acclaim on Mercury Records Nashville (iTunes, Amazon). Culminating a break-through year since the album's release, Stapleton won three awards, "Album of the Year," "Best New Artist," and "Male Vocalist of the Year," at the 49th annual CMA Awards. Released in May, Traveller debuted at #2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart with over 27,000 albums sold making it the best-selling first week by a debut country artist in 2015. Additionally, the record continues to receive overwhelming critical acclaim with "Best of 2015" attention at Rolling Stone, NPR Music, Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, Stereogum, Taste of Country and Saving Country Music. With appearances on CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," ABC's "The View," CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman," NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers," CBS's "This Morning," and NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concert series, along with rave reviews from fellow artists, Traveller has been one of the most talked about albums of the year. Already a world-renowned songwriter, Stapleton has enjoyed six #1 hits, including Thomas Rhett's "Crash and Burn," as well as the five-week No. 1 "Never Wanted Nothing More" recorded by Kenny Chesney, George Strait's "Love's Gonna Make it Alright," and Luke Bryan's "Drink A Beer".
Kelsea Ballerini
Kelsea Ballerini launched to stardom with the release of her #1, GOLD-selling debut "Love Me Like You Mean It." Abuzz with shout-outs from superstars Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Little Big Town, she is the first solo female artist in nine years to hit #1 with her debut country single and one of only 11 women to have ever hit the top of the charts with a debut. Racking up media acclaim, the Black River Entertainment recording artist has been touted by Billboard Magazine as "Country's Next Queen," praised by ROLLING STONE as one of the "10 Artists You Need To Know" from all genres and selected as one of CMT's Next Women of Country. Her breakout hit "Love Me Like You Mean It" and catchy new single "Dibs" are featured on her debut album THE FIRST TIME that landed Top 5 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart. Produced by Forest Glen Whitehead and Jason Massey, Ballerini wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs on the project. This summer, the talented singer/songwriter is hitting the road playing major festivals, headline club dates and select stops on Lady Antebellum's WHEELS UP Tour.
Wild Cub
Songwriter/composer Keegan DeWitt and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Bullock stripped down a small Nashville row house to build a custom studio. In this space, and together with friend and drummer/producer Dabney Morris, they would record and eventually form a five-piece band around their debut album Youth. Mixing programmed sounds and live performances, each song was run through a TASCAM 4-track cassette tape recorder to maintain an intimate, diary-like feel. The band has performed at SXSW, Hangout Music Fest, Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party and Lollapalooza. The band and their videos, singles, and remixes off of the originally self-released Youth have garnered press attention from Entertainment Weekly (which called "Thunder Clatter" "clattering, joyful noise"), Garden & Gun, InterviewMagazine.com, MTV Hive, Noisey, NylonMag.com, Paste, Pure Volume, RollingStone.com, SPIN.com, and The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog, among others, in addition to earning major support from influential station KEXP.
The Whigs
The Whigs are a three piece rock band from Athens, Georgia. Formed in 2002 while attending the University of Georgia, The Whigs played their first shows around campus and soon graduated to higher-profile performances including opening slots for the likes of the Drive-By Truckers and the Killers. Recording sessions for the band's self-released debut album, Give 'Em All A Big Fat Lip, took place in an empty fraternity house in 2005 and by the following year the band's audience had widened considerably, prompting Rolling Stone to declare that the band could be "the best unsigned band in America." Over the last decade, the band has released five critically lauded studio albums and toured the world consistently as either headliners or openers for the likes of Kings of Leon, Black Keys, and MGMT. Their fifth album, Modern Creation, was released in 2014 and the band is currently crafting material for a sixth studio album in their new hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.
Sugar & The Hi-Lows
Both solo artists in their own right, fellow Nashville singer-songwriters Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup make up the duo Sugar & The Hi-Lows. One song led to two and soon enough, Sugar & The Hi-Lows was releasing their self-titled debut album. The pair quickly gained national attention on the radio charts, hundreds of TV placements between the two and a long list of applause from media like USA Today, Billboard Magazine, Paste Magazine, Marie Claire, American Songwriter, Buzzbands LA, Glide Magazine, and the list goes on. Since their inception, Sugar & The Hi-Lows has played sold-out shows around the world, co-headlined a national tour with Andrew Belle and were personally invited to join artists Ingrid Michaelson and Kacey Musgraves on tour. The duo released their sophomore album, High Roller, in June.
Fireworks at Midnight
As we count down to midnight, a 15-foot-tall red music note will descend 115 feet. The midnight "Music Note Drop®" will trigger a fireworks display and major confetti cannons, welcoming 2016.
Pyro Shows proudly stands as one of the largest fireworks companies in the southeastern United States and presents some of the most prestigious shows in America. Pyro Shows' tremendous success story is the result of a "sky's the limit" creative approach coupled with the latest technology.

'Survivor: Blood vs. Water' Champ Tyson on His Emotional Win
Tyson Apolstol was crowned Sole Survivor and won one million dollars on the 27th season of 'Survivor: Blood vs. Water' during the red carpet at the live reunion show broadcast from Los Angeles on Sunday, December 15.
After a masterful season of "Survivor" in which he controlled the game for weeks, Tyson Apostol outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted 19 other players to win $1 million.
When the near-unanimous jury vote revealed him to be the winner, it was a moment of redemption for the 34-year-old bike shop owner, who played (and lost) twice before. And this time, it was an experience that he got to share with girlfriend Rachel Foulger for a few days.
[Related: We Recap the 'Survivor: Blood vs. Water' Finale]
Apostol chatted with Yahoo! TV about his crafty gameplay, any regrets he has about the season, and whether he'd play in an all-winners edition of "Survivor."
Congratulations on the win! What are you going to do with all that money?
I don't know! Cash it all in twos, two-dollar bills, and then roll around in it.
You got very emotional as Jeff Probst read the tally last night. Did you think that you had the votes to win?
I thought that I did, but you never really know until you see them come out, you know? And I think it was an end to the anticipation, but not even from this season, but from seasons past. "Survivor" has been in my life for the last five years. The last five years, I've played three times, so to finally be in that position to win the game, it was just a flood of emotion and gratitude to the show for giving me so many opportunities and so many chances. So yeah, I was kind of in a rush and flood of emotions.
See Tyson's winning moment right here:
From a viewer's standpoint, it felt like you were in control of the game for most of the season. Did it feel that way to you on the island?
Yeah, it did. There were definitely moments it was teetering a little bit. And there were moments where I thought, OK, people are really catching onto what I'm doing here, and it's only a matter of time before they start gunning for me. But for the most part, I felt in control. I'd put in a lot of work every day, every minute, every hour, with all these people to get them to trust me and to put them against each other and all that. So I felt pretty confident. But a lot of times the person in control is confident and gets voted out.

Good Is Dumb
"So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."A common recurring thread in fiction is the idea that the hero, for various reasons, will engage in stupid actions largely because it is the "heroic", sometimes idealistic thing to do. This index catalogues the tropes that manifest this phenomenon. Contrast with Good Is Not Dumb. This trope is not to be confused with Dumb Is Good.
— Dark Helmet, Spaceballs
- All-Loving Hero (in that cynical writers will portray him as naive)

SAN FRANCISCO Drivers approaching the majestic Golden Gate Bridge experienced something new on Wednesday — no human toll collectors.
The workers were removed in favor of cheaper and faster electronic transponders, and a camera system that photographs each license plate that comes through, mailing an invoice to each motorist who doesn't prepay.
Those who fail to pay will receive warnings and could have a hold placed on their vehicle registration at the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
In addition to saving money, the move is expected to improve traffic flow on the landmark.
The California Highway Patrol said traffic was flowing smoothly, with no delays early Wednesday.
On Tuesday, when their final shifts working on the bridge ended, the toll takers said their goodbyes. They forced their mouths into smiles, hugged each other tightly and cried as they left their booths for the last time.
Some were angry and said their contribution — helping people with directions, giving a warm greeting to a regular commuter — will be missed.
"Our DNA is embedded in this bridge … we are part of it," said Jacquie Dean, a career toll collector who worked on the burnt-orange span for 18 years before her last shift Tuesday.
"Some customers still want to pay cash. They don't want to be tracked and photographed."
Many drivers have switched to the FasTrak devices that attach to a car's windshield.
The switchover is expected to save about $16 million in salaries and benefits over eight years.
Nine toll takers will lose their jobs.
Another 17 have either been placed in other district positions or have retired, Mary Currie, spokeswoman for the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District.
"It was a difficult decision and involved the loss of some very dedicated staff," Currie said.
Employees who loved working on the bridge said the job was something they had planned on keeping until retirement.
"I had a lot of customers who wanted to hug me. I got four bouquets of flowers, coffee, multiple cards, gift cards and baked goods," said Dawnette Reed, 43, who started working in the bridge gift shop at 16 and, after a stint in the U.S. Army, became a toll collector at age 26. "I never thought that I would ever end my career at the bridge. ... The bridge won't be the same without us."
