City WineryRead MoreMichael Dorf stood with his brother Josh, smiling over the barrel filled with wine from grapes they'd just crushed, fermented, and pressed. He claims that despite tastings and classes, he'd never begun to understand wine until this moment. As his understanding grew, he laid the foundations for City Winery: a full winery facility, restaurant, and concert venue inside urban New York City then expanded to build his flagship in Chicago. He now watches over more than 400 international wines and 20 house wines. Inside the winery, these wines—made from nine US and international varietals—age inside stainless steel tanks and American and French oak barrels. Here, winemakers lead winemaking classes, letting visitors join the crushing and fermenting process, and showing them how make private barrels with labels of their own design. These monolithic tanks and barrels can be seen through floor-to-ceiling windows from most of the restaurant's rooms, where servers ferry Executive Chef Andres Barrera's dishes, each globally influenced, wine-focused, and locally sourced. The culinary team crafts small and large plates of artisanal cheeses, seafood, and flatbreads—which they make using the winery's own wine lees as yeast. In the restaurant and Barrel Room tasting bar, winemakers pour housemade wines piped fresh from the cellar through 19 taps, while visitors bask in the glow from hard wood and floor to ceiling windows. Private dining rooms gather guests around long communal tables, stretched between exposed brick walls. In the concert venue, they host more than 300 concerts with world class musicians such as David Crosby, Sinéad O'Connor, and Bebel Gilberto to entertain audiences under the glow of tabletop candles.1200 W Randolph St.Chicago, IL US
Vin ChicagoRead MoreWhen Bud Schwarzbach took a job managing his father's store in 1958, it was supposed to be a temporary position. More than 50 years on, he's still at it at Vin Chicago. The reason the business has endured so long may be that the Schwarzbachs and their colleagues don't just taste wine, but live it, tasting hundreds of wines each month, and assessing each one's color, aroma, flavor, body, and finish. The result is a family business big enough to buy in volume, but small and passionate enough to carefully select every single wine that comes in. To back up their recommendations and prove they can count past the single digits, the team can tell customers each bottle's score on 100-point scales from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, or Vin Chicago's own in-house rating system. Quality may be the most important factor the staff considers when they update their selection at stores in Chicago, Highland Park, Barrington, and Naperville. But that's not to say they ignore affordability. Case in point: each store stocks a selection of sub-$10 wines that have all earned scores above 90.1826 N Elston Ave.Chicago, IL US
Bev Art Brewer & Winemaker SupplyRead MoreBev Art Brewer & Winemaker Supply helps brewmasters and vintners around Chicago take their concoctions from plan to reality with wine- and-beer-making gear. Industrious hobbyists can grab their own malt extracts and carboys here, and beginners can get started with wine and beer kits. The shop also stocks brains with the skills to needed to bottle new masterpieces, hosting classes taught by brewers, winemakers, cheese-crafters, and mead-makers. The experts also contribute to some of the shop's own potions; their Wild Blossom Meadery & Winery produces barrels of honey wine made by bees who spend years squashing grapes with their tiny feet.10033 South Western AvenueChicago, IL US
The Wine Cellar OutletRead MoreThe Wine Cellar Outlet invites visitors to explore its spread of handcrafted wines that hail from vineyards across the globe, including Italy, Australia, and South America, as well as regional vineyards in California. The shop's relaxed atmosphere fuses Old-World vibes with New-World simplicity and lack of saber-tooth tigers, and the team of experts is readily available to answer questions and offer suggestions.1705 New Lenox Rd.Joliet, IL US

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Haslam is visiting schools in each grand division of Tennessee on Tuesday to drum up support for Common Core education standards.
The Republican governor starts the day at Cedar Grove Elementary in Smyrna, followed by a visit to Indian Trail Intermediate in Johnson City. He wraps up the tour at Lexington Middle School in Henderson County.
The governor is trying to shore up support for the curriculum and testing standards that he has called crucial to improving education in the state.
A broad coalition of Republican and Democratic House members last week passed a bill seeking to delay the implementation of the new standards by two years.
The Senate would have to agree to those provisions before the measure would head for the governor's desk.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Civil rights leader Will Campbell has died from complications following a stroke. He was 88.
According to The Tennessean, Campbell's friend, writer John Egerton, sent an email to Campbell's friends on Tuesday notifying them of his death Monday night.
Campbell, a minister, was a leader in the fight for desegregation during the civil rights movement.
He was the Nashville representative of a pro-integration operation called the National Council of Churches. Because he was white, he was allowed entry into rooms unapproachable by some of those at the forefront of the movement.
While he supported integration, Campbell preached to those against it.
He's known for saying: "If you're gonna love one, you've got to love `em all."
A memorial service is planned for later this month in Nashville.

Imported from Italy, this stylish toothpaste makes brushing your teeth anything but routine. Both the Classic Mint and Whitening formulas keep your breath fresh while removing surface stains from your teeth. Plus, the apothecary-inspired tube dresses up the bathroom sink.
The packaging was very cute and I liked the retro design. The toothpaste had a great flavor and was slightly spicy. Though, I will not be purchasing the product because I would rather spend the money on a different product other than toothpaste. But I really enjoyed the sample!4
I have long been curious about Marvis toothpaste. Fashion magazines have long been recommending this brand and I wondered what all the fuss was about. I'll be honest - this toothpaste has a nice texture when it foams up and the packaging is pretty but you can't help but wonder if there is anything else special about it. I think that this is one of those things you keep out for the guests to see because it looks pretty (nothing wrong with that) but not a product that does anything special for your teeth.3

I have Genesis and the Lifestyle theme
I am wondering can I use a different header on several pages on this theme and if so how?
Try this plugin:
Susan @ One Happy Studio I offer theme customizations I tweet!
I've taken up the challenge! – help me answer some of the unanswered posts
It says your theme does not support custom headers when I try to install.
You can add support for a custom header in your functions.php file:
… edited to remove the code, as there is apparently an error in there, and I don't want people who are searching for a solution in the future to use this code.
(You can change the height and width to your preferred dimensions)…
Susan @ One Happy Studio I offer theme customizations I tweet!
I've taken up the challenge! – help me answer some of the unanswered posts
Or you could use CSS code and upload your headers to your child themes images folder:
Code tested on the Lifestyle theme.
I now get a server error after adding that?
The stuff that susan said – help!
The CSS code goes in your child themes style.css file not functions.php file.
You would also need to change the post or page i.d's to your own which you can grab from the source code of your website.
The image paths also need to be changed to the name of your images.
but will the CSS allow me to choose which pages the header shows up on
If your site is down because of a change made to your functions.php file, you will need to replace your functions.php file with a fresh copy on your hosting site.
Susan @ One Happy Studio I offer theme customizations I tweet!
I've taken up the challenge! – help me answer some of the unanswered posts
Even after I added the string of code to the functions file it says your theme does not support custom headers?
Do I add both strings? How do I put the other header on more than one page?
Here is the correct code, there was a little bit missing from Susan's:
Email me on my website and I will send you a text file.
P.S. To Susan and Brad – I did wrap the code in PHP however it still stripped out part of the code.
Anita. Yeah sometimes that can happen which is why Gists are good as you can also change the code if you miss a semi colon or something.
@alyssaavant I believe CSS is a better option for adding different headers.
Yes you simply change the post or page i.d which you grab from the body class in your source code.
Wrote a post with 15 code snippets for this exact purpose last week

Any resident seeking approval to arrive to campus before the official opening dates must be confirmed as eligible for an early arrival by an authorized department or organization and approved for an early arrival by Residential Living.
Each request, and the corresponding date selected, will then be verified by the sponsoring University department before Residential Living ultimately approves or denies the early arrival request. If you are requesting an early arrival for personal reasons, your "Group" is "Residential Living" and your request will be verified by the appropriate staff member. Any student who requests to arrive prior to the scheduled check-in day for personal reasons, will be charged a fee of $30 per day. Students who arrive without an approval will be charged a fee of $20 plus the $30 per day fee.
The first date that residents approved for an early arrival for personal reasons may enter the residence halls is Wednesday, January 6, 2016, beginning at 9 am. YOUR SPONSOR DETERMINES THE DATE ON WHICH YOU ARE APPROVED TO ARRIVE. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR SPONSOR BEFORE CONFIRMING TRAVEL PLANS. Due to residence hall staff training, and hall maintenance and preparations, residents will not be permitted to arrive at any residence hall before Wednesday, January 6, 2016 unless the resident is required to arrive early due to an approved University function.
Students who arrive early, without getting prior approval will be charged additional fees.
Please be aware that meal plans will not be in effect for early arrivals. Each student or group must make arrangements to cover meals until University Food Services begin operations for 2016 spring semester.

Lisbeth Salander is my HERO. I have read both books and found that I was completely under Mr. Larsson's spell. We will miss you dearly Mr. Larsson, and wherever you may be, rest in peace. You leave many admirers behind.

Lisbeth Salander has become my hero, she is out of this world. I have read the first two books and must say that after "World without end" they are my absolute favourite. I couldn't seem to put them down and became completely hooked. We are going to miss you very much Mr. Larsson.
- Marisa, Madrid - Spain, 13 Mars 2009
I agree with Magnus; Corina, you completely missed the irony of that passage. Definitely not a reason to put down one of the best thrillers I have read in years. Nothing better than seeing justice served!

Every inch of the screen is filled with so many flights of fancy that Sony will need air traffic control to keep it in check.

The work I did at Christmas has kept the old dear limping along, but I find the dishes looking just fine until I hold a glass up to the light and...ewww! Filmy and not nice.
Home Depot has them priced from about $275 - $1500, so there is a LOT of latitude here. Do I care about a "tall tub"? What about anti-microbial coating on the silverware basket? I know that a cheapie will not be great. I learned that when we moved to this house and had this terrific Maytag, which has been better than any I have ever had.
I would love more quiet. But I cannot afford a $1500 dishwasher right now.
And how much is the usual rate for delivery and set up? Anyone done this recently?
------http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
We have bought two dishwashers from Home Depot, largely because they are the only game in town and can deliver fast. Geez, what a bust. They have both been turkeys, in spite of being first a fairly high-line GE and then a Maytag. The HD service for each faulty washer was reasonably prompt, but overall unsatisfactory. We were mystified by this, until we read what might be rumors that these manufacturers produce a second rate 'Home Depot', etc line for budget outlets.
I don't know if it's true. Could be one of those urban myth things, but in fact, neither machine performed to the standards of those we had gotten in the past from a now-defunct dedicated appliance store. The best dishwasher I have ever met--and for which we have not yet ponied up the bucks--is a friend's Bosch. It is a dream machine, at least comparatively, so quiet and efficient. Of course, he has softened water and we do not.
As to what features? My favorite thing is an interior tall enough to have adjustable height racks, which I find incredibly handy for the weirdly sized pots and dishes I sometimes have to fit in there.
i bought a dishwashser from sears in 2003, and have been happy with it. i can't remember what i paid, but i don't think it was more than $1,000. delivery and installation was free. i think a lot of places run specials on that part. it's quiet, but not as quiet as it was when it was brand new. i'm getting a new fridge, washer, and dryer on tuesday from best buy and again delivery and installation are free. i did have to buy the installation kit, which is new hoses, venting tube, etc.
as far as adjustable racks, etc, i don't have that, but i've never had a need for them. i don't put my pots/pans or china in the dishwasher.
Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, and of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they�d just walk around naked at all times.
-- Betsey Johnson
We purchased a diswasher from Sears (Kenmore Elite not sure what model), mid-priced (!$700-800), stainless interior, adjustable racks, flatware holder. The company contracted to do the installation was efficient and professional. The DW is very quiet and does a good job cleaning (much better than the old machine which died after ~18 yrs)-even though I never put pots etc. in it so can't say about that. On the other hand, I would NEVER have Sears provide any kind of service as their service dept has deteriorated markedly over the years.
As I don't put pots and pans in the dishwasher I can't speak on that part of dishwashers. Some of the features on mine which I just love are the upper rack is slanted to handle some of those tall glasses and items which really shouldn't go on the bottom; an extra rack on the top for more glasses capacity; and the entire rack is adjustable.
On the bottom rack two sets of tines are ajustable for more space for casserole dishes.
I also have an extra silverware holder and two extra baskets.
Ours is very quiet which is important to us because the kitchen is off the living room and there is no door. The controls can be locked which can be useful if little kids come around.
------That's Gl = for Gloria, not G. I.
I heart our current Bosch. We run 2-3 full loads a day of scraped clean (no pre-rinsing) dishes and pots. We've had 3 dishwashers in the past 10 years in our home. The first was the original to the house that we got rid of after a few years of dirty dishes.
The second was a Sears Kenmore Elite stainless model that was very repair prone. I think I had the repair person clear out the chopper/filter 3 times. The heater coil was exposed at the bottom and was damaged when something dropped down on it. Then a piece of ceramic from the broken heater coil got stuck in the chopper and killed the chopper. And the dishwasher never cleaned dishes well after the first chopper/filter repair job. On repair job three, I asked the Sears repair guy (we almost always had the same one) what he had at home, and he said Bosch. So that's what we went for after the fourth breakdown in 3 years.
The current Bosch is great. It's 3 years old, and still washes as well as when new. No repair calls since installation (by the same Sears guy that did the rec, btw). It does not have a chopper, and instead has a removable filter than needs to be rinsed out periodically. No exposed heating coils to break. The downsides are 1) that it leaves the plastics a bit wet 2) it's just a smidge noisier than the Kenmore Elite but still excellent 3) accessory basket lid hinge broke after a year, but I still just use it stuck on and 4) a tiny bit smaller than the Kenmore Elite. Overall it's very reliable and washes great.
If you get a stainless tub, you should use powder soap. Liquid in the door soap compartment tends to drip out and leave a stain on the stainless from repeated use (dishwasher repair guy again).
I'd steer clear of the antimicrobial coating. It seems unnecessary since heat kills off everything anyways. Eventually the coating might come off, and you might end up ingesting the coating.....
I would AVOID an Asko, which is what we have. I've heard that a lot of people like their Bosch, but my mother dislikes hers and would never buy another.
I recommend reading the Consumer Reports issue on dishwashers, which should be available at your library. That's where you can really compare features and repair records.
that film could be your dishwasher soap and your dishwasher could use a cleaning. I looking for stuff to put in mine to clean it out water deposit and other things that build up. My dishwasher is newer and i just started getting a film.
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
LOL! Good luck with that Best Buy order.....I ordered an oven in Feb, never received it, and they have no idea where it is or what happened to it. The 1.5 hrs I spent in customer service during the holidays trying to straighten out a computer generated order for pick up that ended up requiring a conference call between myself, DH, the store manager and customer service, should have been a tip off. The family in line next to me had NO appliances at all after BB screwed up their delivery. I will never order anything from them unless it's a gift card that needs to be spent. Incompetent is the word that comes to mind.
Thanks everyone. It does get confusing, since I hear lots of conflicting reports. I do like the hidden heater coil if only because things can't fall onto it and melt. Adjustability of the racks seems like a good feature. I have a bit in my current machine and do make use of it. I like the idea of a stainless interior as the enamel does look grungy on mine now.
The film is definitely due to the machine breaking down. I went through a whole cleaning routine on it around Christmas, which helped a lot, and recently did it again. Pulled it apart to the best of my ability, got the gunk out from around the moving parts, ran it several times with a variety of cleaning agents (including lemonade powder as recommended) and I think the motor is just getting old and tired. We have been in the house nearly 14 years and it was not new then. I suspect it is at least 20 years old. Time to retire the poor old thing!
We got our new washer and dryer at Future Shop and while the guy was nice enough, he did not tell us that my tall DH would have trouble with a front loader without a pedestal. I had it in the back of my mind, but forgot to bring it up. The guy at Sears, where we bought our new fridge, was just awful. I could see that he knew we were not going to the top of the line, so he basically said they were all the same and we should just pick by size and colour. Not helpful. Not keen to go to Home Depot as DH hates the big box. We only go there when it is the only place that has what we want.
There is a local (BC and Alberta only) chain that is all appliances and they do send out flyers with incredible bargains. Pretty regularly there are high end things on half price. Haven't been in the store yet, so no idea if they are loss leaders or real bargains.
In the meanwhile I am trying to run the machine half full, giving it the occasional run with detergent alone on high heat and if I have time, take it apart again and see what I can see. It is quite interesting in there, but that does take away from my limited sewing time!

Whats the best way to make a textbox required if a checkbox is checked?
I figure I could write a custom validator, but I was hoping to avoid a full post back to check the validation if possible... I was thinking AJAX had something built in for this scenario, but I've been unable to find it. I'm thinking straight Javascript would also be a solution, but I could use a head start if that's the best approach.
Thanks for any info.

Art Museum Day also coincides with the Montclair Gallery Walk—A Little Night Art IX. MAM will kick off the Walk by offering a private guided tour of New Media: New Forms, a group exhibition of new media art by New Jersey-based artists. The exhibition is this year's New Jersey Arts Annual: Fine Arts. Alexandra Schwartz, MAM curator of contemporary art who co-organized the exhibition, will lead the tour. Additionally, one of the artists in the show, Liselot van der Heijden, associate professor of art and art history at The College of New Jersey, will be on hand to discuss her work, a three-channel video about the Occupy Wall Street protests. The tour will be offered from 5:30 to 6 p.m., with the galleries remaining open until 6:45 p.m. Visitors can then join the Montclair Gallery Walk, which runs 7–9 p.m. Advance reservations are required by Monday, May 14 and can be made at The Store at MAM or by calling 973-259-5137. For more information about the exhibition, please visit http://www.montclairartmuseum.org/
The Store at MAM is a unique shopping destination that offers merchandise related to the Museum's collections of American and Native American art, as well as art books, cards, unusual gifts, educational art projects, and original handmade art and jewelry by local artists. The Store at MAM will offer a 10% discount (20% for Members) on one item on Art Museum Day. All proceeds from The Store at MAM support the Museum's exhibitions and programs.
In recognition of the important role museums play in their communities, MAM will also encourage visitors to share their museum experiences during Art Museum Day on a special printed form available at the Museum and via social media with the hashtag #ArtMuseumDay in a collective public response.
Lora Urbanelli, MAM's director, said: "We treasure our relationship with Montclair and the surrounding community, and two of our exhibitions this year have borne this theme, displaying works from private collections in the area, including our current special exhibition Look Now: Modern and Contemporary Art from Private Collections. Art Museum Day is an additional way for us to celebrate our community connections, and we're so happy that it also coincides with the Montclair Gallery Walk, sponsored by the Montclair Center Business Improvement District. Events like this—as well as the recent and stunning launch of the Montclair Film Festival—energize the town and demonstrate the importance of art."
Chris Anagnos, executive director of AAMD, said: "Art museums create opportunities for the public to engage directly with works of art in new and meaningful ways—from transformative educational initiatives to innovative public partnerships. AAMD believes that art should be accessible and relevant to all, and we are so pleased that the Montclair Art Museum is joining with us and the global community of museums to celebrate the role museums play in their communities and to encourage visitors to share their museum experiences."
Participation in the international event highlights the value of the visual arts in society, and provides new opportunities for audiences to participate in wide-ranging programs and record their encounters with works of art.
AAMD member museums—located across the United States, Canada, and Mexico—include regional museums as well as large international institutions. International Museum Day is organized annually around the world by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). AAMD's Art Museum Day is an opportunity to focus attention on the role of art museums in North America, as part of ICOM's global celebration of museums.
A comprehensive list of participating AAMD member art museums will be available in the newsroom of the AAMD website (http://www.aamd.org/

Who has a road bike and a mountain bike? And which one do you ride most? I have been looking at mountain bikes and but don't know if I use it enough to buy one. Tell me what you think.
Who has a road bike and a mountain bike? And which one do you ride most? I have been looking at mountain bikes and but don't know if I use it enough to buy one. Tell me what you think.
It gives you more options where and when and what to ride. I wouldn't ride my road bike on the local MUP with my kids, nor would I like to do a longer, faster road ride with my wife on my MTB.
I've got both. Actually, I now have 2 road bikes and one mountain bike. I ride the roadies way more than the mountain bike. Part of the reason is I would have to drive to any decent mountain bike trails. To ride the road bike, I just get on it and go. I find I can get a better workout riding on the roads than trails. Also, after doing a good amount of mountain bike riding in the past, I decided I really wasn't interested in all the technical stuff (riding over logs, across deep gullies, etc, so in the end, I was mostly just spinning in the woods instead of on the roads. Since the roads are more accessible for me, that's where I ride mostly. If I were near some really nice, long, trails, that could change...
Edit: leob1 reminded me about the kids. The mountain bike is the tow vehicle of choice for the third wheel that my older (4.5 years) daughter rides on.
I used my mtb mostly on old fire roads and rail to trail. My road bike I ride on the local F1 track and some 100-300km rides on highway shoulders.
I recently bought a set of 26X11/8 Ultra Gaterskins and put them on the mtb bike and it turned into a 26" road rocket.
I startedMountain biking in 1990 and have always had mountain bikes- Done some Aggressive rides on the thing aswell and settled into doing Enduro riding- Basically Long distance offroad. Sometimes on Smoothish trails but in the area I live- there will always be hills. In 2002 I bought a Tandem- An offroad Tandem Of course. This works exceptionally well but this year I have lost my Co-Rider. I knew it was going to happen so prepared myself last year by getting a Road bike. And this year by getting another road bike. This is obviously used on the road- but where I live- There are still plenty of Road hills.
Can't really say That I have been offroad for about 6 months- But Winter is coming- The trails will be softer- My offroad skills will be to my benefit in that I can use them to get up Tricky ascents that stop the Young Turks in their tracks so It will get a few outings again shortly.
It does depend on your riding. Offroad is hard- I and others can vouch for that- But the sense of achievement is high. To me- there is not much in doing a fifty mile road ride on the flat- That is just exercise- Now throw in a few steep hills and it is getting better- A Mountain and it is Fun.
So If you want to get exercise- and save the aging body a bit- A road bike is fine. Want to get the Cardio vascular working- Get the adrenalyn pumping and have fun- Then Offroad for you- But make certain the body can take it.
I am just a bit too old for the aggressive offroading but Good cross country up a few hills and on tracks that require technique and skill I will be there. In the Meantime- I enjoy myself by taking in a few miles up hills on the road.
How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.
Spike Milligan
I love the road, but if I HAD to do only one type of riding (road/mtb) ....... I'd have to choose the dirt.
... Brad
1 hardtail mtb, 1 no-suspension mtb, 2 tandems, 2 roadies, 1 singlespeed roadie, 2 touring-optimized roadies, 1 recombent, 1 commutter (nexus-7 rear, dynamo front, non-suspension frame), 6 or 7 more frames and pieces.
I use the hardtail for trail rides, commutter for commutting, roadies for roads, tourers for touring, recumbent for comfort, tandems with whomever is willing.
David Green, Naperville, IL USA "I guess I'll just fade into Bolivian" --Mike Tyson
I ride mostly road, but a nice ride in the dirt is a great change of pace. Also, the mtb is fun in the wind, rain and snow.
I have two road bikes, a road tandem, a rigid MTB that is set up for casual road riding and a hardtail MTB set up for singletrack and trail riding. Overall I have ridden on the road about twice or more as often as offroad, but this past year has been more of an even split as I have been riding both types of ride regularly with my club. For a few months it was more offroad than on as I tried MTB racing for the first time this year.
I find both to be very entertaining and rewarding. Offroad riding is much more of a cardio workout as it involves so much steep climbing followed by fast downhills. There really isn't much relaxing while riding fast singletrack. But long road rides build endurance and burn off the fat. Road riding is generally much more relaxing.
If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to choose, I would pick my road bike, but fortunately, I don't have to pick just one. So I choose to ride both.
The more you ride your bike, the less your ass will hurt.
I have a mountain bike - a Trek 820 - that I got essentially for free as a frequent-flyer-miles premium. I really wasn't interested in a mtb but since I was thinking about getting back into cycling, and since the price was right, I went ahead and got it.
As I do all my riding on the roads, I went ahead and bought a road bike - in my case a Surly Long Haul Trucker set up with 700 x 28 high pressure tires. I am absolutely satisfied with the LHT, and hardly ever ride anything else.
That being said, I am currently setting my Trek 820 up as a "winter" bike. I've already added lights and fenders. I probably will go ahead and switch to road-type tires. My thinking is that, during the winter months when it's dark and wet, I can still get some riding in withoug taking my LHT out into the nastys.
I have both. I mostly ride the road bike as it is easier on the knees and offers a smoother, more controlled exercise. I ride the mtb with my son who has a mtb as well. We mostly ride trails (Briones R.P.) but sometimes mix things up such as climbing Mt. Diablo on the road and going down via the nice trail network.
The mtb is the go-to bike for anything family oriented, it's versatile as is the equipment such as the shoes.
I now have both. When I lived in Md., I only had a mtn.bike, as just a few miles up the road, in Pa., were some parks with some sweet singletrack and technical trails. When I moved to Ky., found that there were not as many trails close by, and the ones here are shorter in length, but more technical than the ones I was used to riding on. Also had several nearby rail-trails in Md-Pa., none around here. So after living here for a while, decided to get a road bike, which I now ride more than the mtn.bike. For me, it's a matter of convenience-I can ride the road bike right out of my garage, nearest mtn.bike trails are some distance away.
You wouldn't use a pitchfork to pick your nose, would you?
I ride one cyclocross, a full-suspension mountain, and an old hard-tail (The Beater) mountain with slick(ish) tires. In a given week, I'll loop through all three and start back at the top of the lineup. This gives me lots of options what with access to back lanes, MUPs, trails, and (of all things) mountains. It also gives me lots of combinations for AT and VO2 training on all kinds of surfaces. So I'm on a bike every other day with hiking, running, and stretching on the days in between. . .oh and an occasional trip to the gym (ugh).
Yup, this is madness!! See, I've got this fear that if I ever slow down and find a "favorite chair" it'll be the end. AND, I'm easily bored with the same activity day after day, so it's three bikes, many surfaces, and several exercise alternatives.
I've got both, but 99.9% of my riding is on the road with my road bikes. Come to think of it, I might get rid of the mountain bike to make room for another road bike. I have increasingly stong feelings that off-road is more rightfully enjoyed on foot. Hence, I really haven't been off road for several years.
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain, that's when I knew that I could not refuse. And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
- this is an excellent question! i've been looking at MTBs for a bit, wondering if one might become 'required' in the stable...
- i have road bikes in CF, AL (frameset actually), and Ti...
- my 'hardy' bike is a converted steel-framed hybrid (see sig linky) to a cyclocross that seems about perfect for the area... (can take 700x38s, uses cantis, etc.)
- but a MTB seems like a nice addition, and i've been considering one...
- but this begs the question: Hardtail or suspension?
Have both. I found a Schwinn Probe (mtn bike) at the local Salvo ten years ago for $10. Slapped on some Freddy Fenders, rack and cheap panniers for grocery store runs. Much better in the rain and snow. Never locked, never stolen.
I have one road bike and 2 mountain bikes ( a hardtail and a fully). I ride both road and trail equally, usually doing a road ride on Saturday and mountain bike ride on Sunday and during the week I usually do mountain biking to stay off the busy roads during rush hour traffic but like today, I also do road.
If you can only get one bike, then you need assess where you plan on riding the most. If road, get a road bike.
As I get older, I tend to more and more do mountain biking. Traffic and cars keep pissing me off which defeats the whole zen thing about riding. I love getting out on trail, hearing and seeing nature close up and personal. I also love hte whoop de do of trail riding. How much closer to being a kid can I get than that! And did I say, no cars!
I ride both types. I live in the middle of a complex of trails that depending on their level of use and maintenance run the gammut from well groomed rail trails to something Blues Dog would like with several levels in between. I can use the trail complex to get all over the immediate area without going out on the roads so I ride a much modified mountain bike (I call it my general purpose bike) most of the time. It is geared up and tyred for trips out onto the asphault as well as the trails. 48/36/26 crankset with a 12/26 road cassette. The trails I ride would eat my road bike up and spit out pieces of carbon.
The road bike however is my fun machine when I want to get out and make some milage. Generally I take it with me on vacations and trips where road bikine is less risky. Cape Cod, Block Island and places along the New England Shoreline. Played hookie from work today and took out the road bike. Its nice to drive the sports car sometimes.
Ride both, you'll learn a lot more about cycling.
I have both - use my MTB mostly as a hybrid, prefer my road bike for serious riding. I did some trail riding and found it was not for me. I am a roadie at heart, always have been.
"Of all the things I ever lost I miss my mind the most." Mark Twain
If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
I have a Trek MTB and Trek 7.2 FX hybrid. I use the MTB on greenway trails during the week and the hybrid on the road on weekends. But I'm about to get a road bike.
Great question, I ride 95% of the time on my road bike, but an occasional ride on my mountain bike on the local trails is great fun, especially when the weather is not the best. My Diamondback hardtail is one of my prized possessions
Both, 3 Roadies, 2 MTBs, one converted MTB to a MUP rider. I was riding more road than MTB, but based on the current neck problems I'm having, it looks like I'll be back to MTB and MUP (upright) riding with way less road riding.

The Foundation's program, Local Funding Partnerships, was designed to continue a matching grants program to establish partnerships between RWJF and local grant makers in support of innovative, community-based projects that improve health and health care for vulnerable populations.In the frontier area of west central Kansas where the population averages three people per square mile, distance and limited resources create barriers to obtaining mental health services. This program employs "circuit riding" therapists in two counties to help develop the mental health infrastructure and increase clinical services via telepsychiatry. They will work closely with newly established Local Advisory Councils which will help tailor each rural community's approach to promote screening, increase referrals and reduce the stigma residents may associate with behavioral health care. The initiative will also engage the growing Hispanic population.Local funders include the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund.

I have started writing my Sinatra apps using a modular style, suggested in this stackoverflow answer, and have successfully deployed it on Heroku, but when trying to deploy to AppFog (identical code except for datamapper mysql/postgres gems) I get "Not Found" errors for every route I have defined.
== Sinatra/1.3.3 has taken the stage on 47195 for production with backup from Thin
myIP, 127.0.0.1 - - [08/Dec/2012 21:28:53] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 404 18 0.0030

My view and public paths from settings:
settings.views = "./views"

An example of defined route:
class MyApp < Sinatra::Application
get '/' do
@title = "Site Index Page"
haml :index
require ::File.join( ::File.dirname(__FILE__), 'app')
run MyApp.new
Structure is basically identical to that linked to above.
There are no application errors, just the "Not Found" message and corresponding 404 "GET" entries in the logs. The PUBLIC folder is working as it should - I can access all static files off the site url (ie.
site.com/img/anypic.jpg). And, as I mentioned, the exact same app runs flawlessly on Heroku.
I am using bundle package, so a custom gem can be used, and had no problems until switching to the modular structure.
Installed on AppFog Ruby 1.9.3 Runtime.

I saw this recipe by Stevie Parle in The Telegraph back in July and fell in love with the idea of combining figs, hazelnuts and pomegranate molasses. It's just beautiful, in case you haven't tried it. I've ramped up the sweet/sharp thing already going on with the pom syrup and figs by adding a little feta and some pomegranate seeds, for fleshy pops of juice. I also did away with the edible flowers because, unsurprisingly, they're not that easy to find at 7pm on a Wednesday evening.
This took a few minutes to assemble and although it's not filling enough on its own as a main meal, it is one of the most perfectly delicious ways to begin; a total triumph in the contrasts department.
Figs, Feta and Hazelnuts with Pomegranate Molasses (serves 1) (adapted from Stevie Parle's recipe for The Telegraph)
3 ripe figs
1/2 a pomegranate
A little feta
Small handful blanched hazelnuts
A few leaves of lambs lettuce
1 scant teaspoon pomegranate molasses
1 tablespoon light olive oil
Mix the pom molasses and oil together in a small bowl. Arrange the lambs lettuce on a plate. Halve the figs and add them also. Break the hazelnuts slightly in a pestle and mortar and scatter over the figs, along with the feta. Hold the pomegranate half over a bowl and bash the skin with a wooden spoon until all the seeds fall out (remove any white bits that fall in). Sprinkle a few seeds over the salad and eat the rest. Spoon over the dressing. Serve.

Divine! I had it for a (post gym – how virtuous!!) dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious.
Incidently, I have recently made the Ottolenghi's fig salad from the Guardian and it wasnt anywhere near as nice – far too sweet and stuggy. Whereas this was sharp and refreshing. Loved it!
Thanks for this recipe, Helen. I made it tonight and my guests were very appreciative
I went into Sainsbury's in Pimlico, even with a picture of the bottle from their website, and was given a "WTF is this, are you smoking drugs?" look by one of the shelf stacker blokes when I asked if they sold it. :/
I didn't get the molasses here in Salzburg, but I used some pomegranate juice and it turned out pretty good, although in my version the name of the salad had to change 😉 thanks a lot!
That looks awesome! Oh how I wish we had fresh figs over here…
Food porn! Those pics leave nothing to the imagination. Tremendous pairings. Thanks!
Oh, this looks delicious. I love everythins with figs.
what great colours and mixture of flavours, it looks so good on a plate.
Look delicious. I'll add a crusty baguette to make it more of a light meal…
Hey, at last a recipe without pork! Looks lovely. Did you ever get up to the Turkish places on Green lanes? You can also get loads of ingredients like the molasses really cheap in the supermarkets up there.
This looks wonderful! Where did you get the pom molasses btw? I'm also in SE London so any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks! (love your blog btw)
that's the kind of food I like: with little effort a great taste! It looks amazing. I think I'm going to the market and see if I can get the ingredients for today lunch Thanks for sharing it!
I'm just mildly obsessed with hazelnuts at the moment. Have been going nuts combining them with burnt butter and yogurt. But I absolutely love this.
LOVE! Was in sicily at the end of august and ate my own body weight in figs every day…this recipe is the perfect way to ease myself into autumn. Great use of pomegranate molasses too…I have a little bottle in the fridge that I've only used once so need more recipes like this!
This looks…figtastic. Several of the best food elements (crunchy nuts, salty cheese, juicy figs) all on one plate, perfect!

Read the News Release
2015 Camp fYrefly Saskatchewan Artist-In-Residence
We are pleased to have a nationally recognized, local rock and jazz musician join us as the 2015 Camp fYrefly Saskatchewan Artist-in -Residence.
Megan Lane is a rock musician from Saskatoon, SK who earned her status as a prodigious guitarist with a commanding voice from her pre-teen years on. From her early days cutting her teeth at all-ages blues jams to a decade working as a full-time musician touring the country and honing her writing and performance skills, Lane emerged as one of Canada's most surprising guitarists with her fourth release Sounding the Animal (2014). Lane's cut-to-the-bone guitar solos and unbridled voice are set loose amidst the analog tones of classic rock and the punchy synthetic textures of today.
"Someday We Will Leave this Town" (co-written with Rae Spoon) stood its ground on the top end of CBC Radio 3's top 30 chart (R3-30) for 7 consecutive weeks (Oct 13 – Nov 24, 2014) and was awarded "Rock Song of the Year" by Vancouver's RightOutTV 2014 Music & Video Awards. The lead single's popularity was boosted by a quirky professional music video featuring members from the furry sub-culture and a cameo from Tom Wilson (of Blackie & the Rodeo Kings fame) posing as a maniacal hunter.
Sounding the Animal is preceded by three albums: Bow & Drill the Spark (2009), Wrapped in Plastic (2006), and Purple and Blue (2004), which was nominated for Outstanding Blues recording by the Western Canadian Music Awards. Winning awards and grants from FACTOR, the Saskatchewan Arts Board, CreativeSask, and Rawlco Radio, Lane's recordings have received national airplay on CBC Radio, SiriusXM's Press Play, various Canadian rock stations, and charted on college stations.
Lane's recordings are interpreted through an enthralling live show. A multi-instrumentalist, one might also catch her live making rounds on all of the instruments on stage from keys to drums. She's appeared on the bills of Guitarmania, the Calgary International Blues Festival, the Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Canada Day on Parliament Hill, and many popular summer music festivals. Lane's performances have been nationally broadcast on CBC television and CTVs Good Morning Canada. Lane has shared the stage with Buffy St. Marie, Jeremy Fisher, and solo-battled Colin James in front Queen Elizabeth the II and Joni Mitchell.
Rock on: Lane's provocative music and cerebral performances never go unnoticed. And neither will her attendance at Camp fYrefly Saskatchewan 2015, where Megan will spend the weekend working with youth, delivering workshops and, no doubt, leading a rousing songfest or two.
2008, in partnership with the Faculty of Education, University of Regina
and the College of Education, University of Saskatchewan, committees
of dedicated volunteers were formed by Anthony Bidulka and Herb McFaull
to bring Camp fYrefly to Saskatchewan. Learn more....

In this re-issue of a book first published more than two decades ago, Rolheiser, a Catholic priest and author, looks at the deep longing every person experiences and often names as loneliness. He examines its nature and inherent dangers at some length, but also shows how loneliness can bring great benefits, as it often does in the lives of artists. Loneliness, he writes, presents both potential peril and tremendous opportunity for growth, giving birth to the latter when "understood and channeled creatively." Rolheiser develops his ideas by showing how the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and various theologians from Augustine to Karl Rahner have dealt with this basic human problem. He also draws on writers as diverse as the mystic John of the Cross, philosopher Søren Kierkegaard and novelist John Updike. Kierkegaard, he says, was able to mine beauty from his loneliness by seeing it as a "vocation" and himself as someone who could form his pain into "beautiful music—music that could bring healing to those who hear it." Rolheiser goes on to propose a "spirituality of loneliness" rooted in prayer and "the community of life." Readers who have delved into spiritual classics and the works of contemporary religious writers for answers to this basic human question will be attracted to this book, which eschews spiritual fluff. Rolheiser is not given to romantic illusions or easy answers, but serves as an informed guide who is familiar with the challenging territory about which he writes.

Advance Praise for The Restless Heart
"Ronald Rolheiser examines the pain of loneliness and the meaning of our longing with compassionate precision. The book is not simply an exercise in personal spirituality but comes at a time when great social and political harm is done because many of us cannot
endure and enjoy who we are in our loneliness. A much needed antidote to the uneasiness of the times." —Alan Jones, dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and author of Living the Truth and Seasons of Grace.
"Ronald Rolheiser has emerged as one of the finest spiritual writers of our time. In this new edition of his earliest work he tills the soil where the holy longing is cultivated, nurtured, and sustained: the lonely human heart. He holds the key to help loosen the suffocating grip of loneliness so that our deepmost desires flourish and find rest in God."
—Michael Downey, Cardinal's Theologian, Archdiocese of Los Angeles
Praise for The Holy Longing
"Rolheiser's program for Christian spirituality is reminiscent of the best work of Henri Nouwen and Daniel Berrigan." —Publishers Weekly
"A master weaver is at work here . . . I found my soul on every page. At last we have a guide who helps us know what to do with the fire of desire within us. At last a comprehensive, lifegiving approach to sexuality. At last a dynamic understanding of how the paschal mystery plays in our own lives. At last a way to weave love for the poor and struggling people with the highest mystical love of God—I love this book." —Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

This is an article on the storage available for users after installing Windows 8...how it is a confusing calculation. But it includes datapoints on customer demand for Surface Pro...and it is good!
As of this morning, a few hours after the Surface Pro went on sale, Microsoft's web site shows the 128 GB model as out of stock. Would-be buyers can't even place an order. By contrast, the 64 GB model is available for immediate shipment.
The situation is similar at Microsoft's retail partners, where the 128 GB models were out of stock everywhere I looked. Best Buy isn't taking orders from its website, but Staples is. They can ship a 64 GB model immediately, but you can't place an order for a 128 GB device.

Tourism is an important pillar in almost every country's economy. While some countries are really good at promoting themselves, others need some serious work.
For example, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" was an instant hit, and Las Vegas can't seem to find something better to replace it. On the flip side, Australia's "Where the bloody hell are you?" tagline didn't work too well for her.
With a new tagline, "There's nothing like Australia," and a $4 mil campaign, we thought all would be well again. But I guess the tourism board didn't see this coming: someone went out and registered the domain NothingLikeAustralia.net, and started posting spoof versions of the campaign.
Having no clue how to deal with this, Tourism Australia (TA) considered taking legal actions against the site. If you know anything about the people online, you wouldn't want to consider legal actions. Laugh it off and leverage on the situation instead. Luckily, TA came to its senses before getting a severe backlash.
If concocting well-received slogans is so tough, and tourism campaigns are so expensive (and might go terribly wrong), what else can a tourism board do? It surprises me that tourism boards are taking so long to try out social media. Those who are already on it are seeing very impressive results!
Here are some things they did that I love:
1. Creating Valuable Information Platform
Planning for a vacation can be a complete nightmare. Sometimes, I don't even know where to start. Having a place I can turn to for information would be a blessing.
Visit Japan 2010 has a Facebook page that aggregates all the travel info and links you'll ever need! The layout is clean and information is organized. It's the first place (not Google!) I would go to when planning for a Japan trip. Get updates through the page, ask questions and share your experiences with others. Who would you trust more, the tips and views of a fellow tourist or the tourism board?
New Zealand has a YouTube channel that not only shows you great videos, it helps you plan your trip as well (under slogan)! The channel links you to information about New Zealand, getting to New Zealand, places to stay, and a New Zealand map.
A twitter list, like what Vegas did, might help too!
2. Promoting Social Media Presence
Las Vegas tourism board has dedicated a significant amount of space on its official site to direct traffic to its social media accounts. It is crucial to engage potential tourists outside of a website. People are spending hours on Facebook everyday, but maybe 15 minutes on websites, and only when they need them. Social sites are a great opportunity to let organizations become a part of consumers' daily life.
3. Checking Tourists In (Foursquare)
I absolutely love this. Chicago users of the Explore Chicago section on Foursquare can earn three badges, themed around the city, by visiting locations such as historic sites, film locations, restaurants and clubs. This is to help boost awareness of both the popular and less well known tourist attractions.
Mobile Apps
With more Smartphone users wanting travel-related apps, it is a good opportunity for tourism boards to start thinking of how they can value add people on the go. Well, Tourism Vancouver is already doing it! It has launched an interactive tourist guide with integrated street navigation of Vancouver and Whistler. Check it out.
Being on Social Media Comes With Risks
Word of mouth is a powerful thing, and it has been made even more powerful by the Internet and social media. While writing the post, I visited the "Visit Japan 2010" Facebook page again. To my surprise, users are posting videos and pictures on its wall, asking Japan to stop killing whales and dolphins. Some are asking people to boycott Japan until she addresses this issue. With such an awesome Facebook page, it is a pity that something like that has happened. Japan National Tourism Organization has deleted all the negative posts, but can it keep doing this? Maybe this would help.
Just because social media comes with risks does not mean we should avoid it. That's what a fool would do. All we need to do is prepare for social media disasters and unpleasant situations in general. Handle it well and reap the vast benefits of social media!
