When travelers are going through any airport security checkpoint, there's an expectation that yes, the experience might be annoying, but that at least Transportation Security Administration screeners are going to behave professionally. A new report out of Denver says that expectation was not upheld by two screeners accused of working out how to tweak the system so that one worker could grope the genitals of attractive male travelers.

TSA Busts Passenger Allegedly Trying To Fly With Bear Paws In His Luggage
We've heard many a tale of travelers accused of trying to move things they shouldn't through the air in their luggage, attempts that are often thwarted by the Transportation Security Administration's airport checkpoints. But while we're used to hearing about concealed weapons or live wildlife, officials say one traveler allegedly upped the "what not to pack" ante by toting bear paws and other parts in his bags.

Double Life of Veronique (Criterion Collection)
Filled with reflective surfaces and vivid colors, The Double Life of Véronique marks one of Krzysztof Kieslowski's most haunting films. Just as the director divided his time between his adopted France and his native Poland, the story involves two unrelated women who look exactly alike (both played by Red's Irène Jacob, who won the best actress award at Cannes).
The Polish Weronika, a classical singer with a heart condition, collapses during a performance, after which Kieslowski turns his gaze to the French Véronique, a music teacher who shares the same ailment (much like Kieslowski, who died after cardiac surgery in 1996). Véronique's life follows a similar track, while her affection for Alexandre (Philippe Volter), a puppeteer, suggests the working relationship between the actress and the filmmaker. It's Alexandre, after all, who draws Véronique's attention to the existence of her double (through a photograph she took on a trip to Krakow). In that sense, Kieslowski plays with art as much as identity. Instead of explaining the connection between the characters, he lets the mystery serve as its own reward.
In her commentary, Annette Insdorf (Double Lives, Second Chances: The Cinema of Krzysztof Kieslowski) outlines the reasons she finds the film so metaphysically rich, from the insights into Kieslowski's background to Sawomir Idziak's inventive cinematography. Other extras include interviews with Jacob, Idziak, and composer Zbigniew Preisner; a featurette; a profile of the director; the alternate ending (which feels extraneous); three shorts (the best is 1980's "Railway Station," in which Kieslowski presents a throng of commuters from the perspective of a security camera operator); and an additional short ("The Musicians") about a band of factory workers by his instructor Kazimierz Karabasz. Kieslowski admired this heartfelt portrait for the way it expressed "the human need to create." --Kathleen C. Fennessy --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I purchased this bike from one of my local Wal-Mart Stores and I ride it daily. The in-store bike tech was really good and adjusted everythng that I requested before purchasing the bike that day. All while I waited. My primary focus before buying a new bike, was to find one that cost less than $150 and had a Complete Shimano Set-Up; Handle Bar Shifters, Front Derailer & Rear Derailer. My 18 years of experience with the complete Shimano Set Up on my bikes was the reliability, low maintenance, durability and longevity of the components. In recent, it is almost impossible to find the complete Shimano set up on any bike for less than $400. This bike has it all. Mechanically and structurally this bike is solid. The Tubes and Tires are flimsey. Plan on spending approx. $50 for a new pair of good quality Tires w/Tubes if you can do the swap yourself. All said, I feel that this bike is worth the money and I do recommend it. I also suggest buying that new pair of good quality Tires w/Tubes at the same time you buy the bike. Wal-Mart has the Bell Tires with Kevlar and Bell Inner Tubes on the same isle. Good quality at a good price.
There was a time when I was young I was an avid moutian biker and owned a rather expensive bike. Now that I'm older and a little larger around the middle I thought it would be a healthy choice to get back into it. I went to the local bike shop and had a hard time swallowing the price of mountain bikes ($500-$3000), especially since I wanted the newest bells and whistles like, dual suspension, aluminum frame and atleast an 18 speed, I also wanted the option of interchangeable parts so if I ever wanted to up grade I could. This Havoc Hyper has it all plus it's only $100. This bike has some nicer parts on it to like, Trex brakes and the brackets for rotor style brakes if you want to add them later. This bike is also equipped with Shimano gear selector and it's the much nicer newer twist style. This might not meen much if your buying this bike for your teen. But if it is for your self or someone want to get into mountain biking you can really take this bike from being a novice bike to a pretty advanced one over time by upgrading the wheels, tires, suspension shocks, brakes and gears, but it also comes ready to rip up the trails right fram the store.
I'm not a biker. I haven't owned a bike for many years. But I live very close to my job and thought a bike would be a better choice to get there with gas prices as they are. I bought this bike (online) mainly because of it's reviews, low price and awesome looks. I am not disappointed. It is a very nice, aggressive looking bike. I am 49 years old, 6'1", around 200lbs. This bike adjusts out to provide a comfortable ride. My last mountain bike was "crunched" up. My knees would hit the handle bars when turning, my foot would hit the tire, and the height when sitting had my knees in a forward position instead of up and down to the pedals. I was scared to order this online fearing another lousy ride, but I figured for the price, looks and options, I could upgrade it to fit me properly. But this was not needed at all. Assembly was easy. It comes 90% put together. Put on the front tire, seat and pedals, adjust the gear selectors and brake levers and your rolling. But I have to agree with some of the other reviews. The tires seem cheap. They are a no brand low quality rubber. I don't see them lasting long. The seat looks awesome, but it is extremely uncomfortable. But I haven't rode for years, and my cheeks may need to toughen up a little. Many have said the pedals are cheap and have broken on them. They are plastic, and at 200lbs, I am replacing them on other reviews complaints. I don't want to be a few miles from home and have to try to make it back using one pedal, or push my new bike home. My last gripe is the paint job. It is a semi-flat, no shine finish. It looks awesome, but it scratches to the metal with the littlest impact. If your wrench slips during assembly, you will have a bare metal scar looking at you. Even out of the box, it had a few nicks exposing bare metal. But being a semi-flat paint it is an easy touch up with regular paint being a no gloss finish. Krylon makes a semi-flat black paint that is a perfect match. Well that being said, I am very happy with my purchase. It is a great rider with aggressive looks. I don't see myself heading down the side of a mountain any time soon so I can't give any detail on it's off road durability. But if I do take to the wilderness, I will update this review.
I bought this bike about a month ago so I could hit a few of the local trails though state parks and such. Seems decently built and no problems so far... well that is once i got the bike home from the store and aired up the tires, and readjusted the shifters and brakes.
I wasnt expecting much from a $100 bike but seems well worth it.
I wanted a reliable bike for exercise riding that would be able to handle some off road runs. The assembly was easy as were the adjustment to fine tune the bike to my riding needs. It has proven to be dependable requiring little maintenance. I'm 80 (planning to make it to 100), and based on the solid aluminum construction and a little TLC, this bike will probably last for the next 20 years..
The bike functions very well mechanically. Structurally the bike feels very strong and well built. The front suspension is stiffer than others in this price category, but it seems to add to the stability feel during hard front braking. The rear suspensions is adjustable and responds well to any of the adjustments made. The bike is comfortable to ride on or off-road. The sidewalls of the tires are softer than others in this category, but this seems to add to the comfort of the ride. It's a good choice at a fair price and will do well for most as an all-terrain bike. I am very pleased with this bike in every area of its capability.
Based on lessons learned from previous comments, I have inspected this mountain bike for any obvious manufacturer's defects (bent fork, wheels, frame, etc) as well as any loose/missing hardware and misalignment during the assembly process at the store of purchase. I spent a good 5-10 minutes riding down the short aisle, performing functional test of shifting and braking. Any defects noted, I would simply try another one. I upgraded the pedals with medal ones (9/16") bought at the store, as most of you strongly suggested. Regarding seat comfort and weak inner tubes and tires -- so far, so good during my first week of riding. I don't plan on getting any air or blazing down a mountain trail, although jumping curbs and hitting speed bumps at full speed reveal that the dual suspension was adequate and nothing fell apart. Shifting under load (going up hill) proved to be smooth and effortless. I plan on going back to the store and personally thank the bike assembler (Brandon) for a job well done. By the way, this bike weighs less than the V2100, by at least 10 lbs.
This bike is phenomenal for it's price. I had been riding my old bike for about 8 years but had to start looking for a new one cause of damages. I looked online and found nothing that I liked until I saw this one. I bought this bike for $120 but I think it should have been around $250 considering how great it is. First of all it looks better than any mountain bike under $500 that I've seen before. The matte black color is big reason I bought the bike. The bike rides so unexpectedly smooth due to the dual suspension. The shifters are great and the gear doesn't skip or change when going up hill and under pressure. I have had this bike for a couple months and I have absolutely no problems with it even after riding more than 500 miles. Pros:
-Exceptional price
-Great look
-Smooth ride
-Durable Cons:
-Tires and tubes may need replacing
-Cheap pedals may cause future problems(Hasn't for me)
-Seat post may be too short for TALL riders
-Grips start to slip a little sometimes
-(ALL easy fixes) Tips:
If you purchase the bike there are a few optional but very beneficial things you can do. You should first replace the tires and tube as other buyers have done the same and by appearance they do not seem very reliable. (I recommend some Kevlar lined or thorn proof tires, thorn proof tubes-not the self-sealant kind!, and huffy tire liners - this way you will be flat-free). Second, replace the pedals with metal ones to avoid any future problems. Make sure to make simple adjustments to the brakes and shifters if you know how as that can make the ride much more comfortable. If you do all this it will be a very cheap, fun, and reliable bike! The pros definitely outweigh the cons as all parts are easily replaceable and interchangeable. For those looking for a mountain bike on a budget, this is definitely the place to look!
Ibought this for a daily commuter on sale due to it looking previously used. Grips torn looks like it was riding a bit but I bought since the price was good. Aired up the tires a bit and rode good for a few days. Here where you get what you pay for issues. Pedal broke as expected but I realized they were plastic. Bought metal ones to replace no issues with that then the front shock went out. Unlike most who said the bike wasn't good I realized it may havebeen in store for a while. I called the number on the bike and they have been taking care of the issues. Well they shipped me what I needed and a manual and the bike runs like a champ.If anyone buys any hyper bike and has questions or issues I suggest you call the number on the bike and work with them although you may have to wait a few days on part shipping. they have been very friendly with me and kept me from returning a bike which I was able to fix and enjoy versus spending a lot more money on a more expensive version mountain bike that I was thinking about buying
I purchased this bike unassembled, because my husband was impatient. Assembly was not difficult at all, and required a socket set or adjustible wrenches, and allen wrenches. One tire tube blew as soon as we inflated it. It tore the tire a little bit. We replaced the tube, and then the tire developed a large bulge. My husband rode the bike around the block, and the tire deflated. We took the wheel to our local Walmart, and a bike assembler there replaced the tire and tube. We have not had any problems with the tire since then. The bike looks good...the paint is a matte black, and the bike looks mean, which appealed to my husband when he was choosing it. It doesn't seem that comfortable for him to ride, and in fact we had to add a gel cushion to the seat after the first time he rode it, but he's only planning to ride a couple of times a week, and for short distances.
I bought this bike three days ago and although it is a great riding bike, I do have a few concerns about it. I rode the bike home and did not even make it 5 minutes down the road and blew a tire and then two days later I blew the other tire. My recommendation is that if you are thinking of buying this bike replace the tubes as soon as possible. Other than that you will need some general knowledge about bicycles in general because you will need to tweak the shifters and the breaks..
First of all, thanks to all that have posted reviews before! It helped to make a final decision... On this one. What struck me dumb most of all was that (for the most part) every problem others encountered was some mistake during assembly. I had to pre-purchase mine in a box because there were none assembled I could look at, or sit on, or test ride. My county (Palm Beach, FL which is the size of Rhode Island) was consistently sold out of them. And we can and do use our bikes 365 days a year. So I guess the guy(s)/girl(s) who put them together here have a lot of experience. So do the buyers of the bikes. The bolt holding my handlebars to the fork is a chromed hex bolt. No Allen Wrench hole. I digress.. I ride it to work (3 miles), or put in on the bus' bike rack every single workday #it rains sometimes#. I can heft it on my right shoulder easily to get it on/off the bus bike rack and carry it up two flights of stairs to my apartment while carrying groceries in a backpack. I am 40, 5'8", male smoker, but basically physically fit. In sum, I adore this bike! I had a more expensive #heavier# Mongoose XR-75 in 2008 with plastic pedals.... Yea, they stink #plastic pedals#. Hello! They are plastic! They break! That's why you buy this bike... get third-party pedals.. I don't wanna have one that's identical to everyone else's! This one is customizable.
This is definitely for the mountains. Bought it for mountain trails and it worked better than my legs did. Low geared for torque not speed. Not for racing on flat streets. Worked great on very rugged trails. I am over 6' tall and it worked great for me. Because of the number of sprockets the shifter is variable to move off derailers by +/- one click. If the chain rubs, a couple clicks up or down and no more problem. I Like the handle bar shifter, allows me to keep my hands on the bars where they belong.
My son and I are getting into biking for the first time and I didn't want to go out and buy a $600+ bike only to have it sit in the garage. Originally we bought our son this bike and I purchased a hybrid style bike (from Wal-Mart). The Hyper Havoc my son rode is a tight bike and my hybrid was always needing some extra tweak or two or three. I finally took it back to Wal-Mart and traded it for the Hyper Havoc. My son weighs 90 pounds and I weigh 230 and this bike handles like a dream for both of us. We do some light mountain biking and a lot of trail riding. Word of advice… all of these mass assembled bikes need to be tuned up! It only took me 30 minutes to dial in the shifters so you get all 21 speeds and it is not rocket science so read the manual and take a little time to tune your bike up. Happy riding!
Love the bike. And my friends love it too. Looks good and rides good too. As far as the seats they really aren't the best so I would suggest saving up to get a gel cushion but apart from that the bike is pretty reliable. Had it for 3 weeks now deff worth the price.
first off i am 35 years old 6'1" and weigh about 208lbs,and my 2 daughters like riding there bikes at the park,but were always out running me and getting out of my site,or i had to make them stay close,and that was no fun for any of us,so i decided to go looking for a bike.i have not rode a bike in 20 years!!.i picked this bike up at a local walmart,because i loved everything about it in the store.the flat black color is just cool to me,and was better than the bike i researched,and went there to purchase.i have been riding this bike quite a bit,and the only thing i had to do to it was adjust the rear brakes,and i have had it for over 3 months.i am 100% happy with this purchase.i took it down a massive LONG hill,and i was in the last gear probably almost maxed out in speed,and this thing will fly.
I bought this bike online since it wasn't in stock at any of the stores near my house. It arrived in two days (for .97 cents shipping) and took me about 30-40 minutes to put together. This included putting on the pedals, handle bars, seat and front wheel and adjusting the front brakes. I also had to true both wheels since they were a little off, and luckily I had a spoke wrench. So far I've had the bike a little over a week and generally I like it, but not without a few reservations. So for the Pros: I like the frame. It isn't too heavy (I weighed the whole thing put together and it was 34 pounds).
The rear suspension works well and is easily adjustable.
All of the gears shift smoothly, so far.
The brakes are fine.
The seat is comfortable.
Some reviewers mentioned flimsy tires, but I've had no problems so far, including on a ten mile rough trail ride.
I like the look of the bike. And for the cons:
I noticed after I got it that there is no room for a water bottle. This means you have to figure out some other way to carry water. I thought about getting a camelbak, but so far I've just used a backpack with a water bottle in it. Room for a water bottle cage would have been nice. The hand grips are a little flimsy. The inner part is taken up by the grip shifts, which is fine, but the outside part is just kind of cheap rubber. After laying the bike in the back of my truck a few times the grip on one side is already starting to tear a little. The front shocks are pretty much completely worthless. Just riding the bike and putting any weight on the handlebars pretty much pushes the shocks all the way down so there is no extra room to give. Maybe they are working a little bit, but I can't tell that they are at all. If you are over 5'10" the seat post may be too short for you. I'm 5'9" and it is fine for me, but there is hardly any room left to raise it further. Maybe an inch or two. So that's it for the pros and cons. I was also considering going with the Genesis V2100, but I chose this because it is lighter (by about 4 pounds), cheaper (by $40), and some people who bought the Genesis complained about the seat being hard and the pedals breaking. Things about the Genesis that sound better are that it has a water bottle mount and also has front disc brakes. People did complain about the front shocks on that one as well. Most entry-level suspension forks cost $100-$200 by themselves, so I guess you can't expect too much on a cheap bike like this. If you are over 5'10", I would say definitely consider the Genesis instead of this Hyper. It sounds like that one has a bigger frame. Overall I do like this Hyper Havoc bike so far. I might consider buying an upgraded front suspension fork at some point, and maybe see if I can get some better grips. Despite the drawbacks, this is a pretty nice bike for the price. I had a lot of fun out on the trails today and am looking forward to taking it back out tomorrow. If I have any future problems with the bike I'll come back and update this review.
$120 for an aluminum framed mountain bike with shimano transmission is a good deal. I had the packageshipped for pickup at a nearby Walmart. Assembly difficulty is average. Only thing I needed to do is mount and align the handle bar to the frame and also install the front wheels and the plastic pedals. Based on other reviews, the factory tire-tube reliability is questionable. So I bought and replaced it with a Slime (self-healing) tube, $8/each before using the bike and just trashed the factory tube. On first time use, the rear-brake is squealing, but eventually quiet out after several miles (may be part of its break-in period). Ride quality is good, quiet, shifting is smooth but be careful not to brake too hard with the front wheel as the bike will want to dive because its soft front suspension. One thing I don't like is the paint is a flat black (not the shiny clearcoat sort of paint) which is dull and prone to even gentliest scratches. I plan to use the bike on flat bike trails only and I don't know how this bike will stand the test of time when used in hard-core mountain-biking applications. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase and I recommend it to budget concious shoppers like me.
I am 73 years old, and find this bike great for excerise. I purchased the bike on August 23rd at the Walmart in Brandon Fl. The bike was assembled and in great shape right out of the store. I track my miles as I ride as of today November 18th I have riden the bike 1,099 miles I average riding 17 miles per day. I have had zero problems, I kept the bike well lubracated and kept the tires aired properly.
I purchased my Havoc in 4/2012, and posted under "UrbanCommuter". With all original equipment, and all travel in the urban jungle, it was perfect until 6/2012. Got a slow leak in the front after running over a nail, no blow out. I wanted "faster" tires anyway, and knew the tubes were starters. So I got a pair of Hutchinson Acrobat tires to replace the knobby ones. Over the past year, I have noticed that every other non-bike store mountain bike has tires identical to my old ones. Junk. Identical tread patterns! After breaking them in and feeling them out, the Hutchison tires definitely have a lower rolling resistance. I thought that they would be dangerous in rain, but they aren't. Maybe the side nub things help. They definitely help in cornering in dry weather. The tubes were replaced with a solid-core by Bell in the front #can't remember# and extra-thick tubes in the back. I don't use Slime. ever. I might want new wheels. Oh, and when I had the wheels and tires off, I used electrical tape over whatever it was that was used for the spoke holes #on the inside of the wheels of course, and a continuos loop not patchwork#. Old trick. Problem free since June 2012. Enjoy your rides!

NEW DELHI Grounded carrier Kingfisher Airlines(KING.NS) has filed a revival plan with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), a senior government official said on Tuesday, in an effort to renew its operating license before it expires at the end of the year.
Kingfisher, which has not flown since October, has estimated debts of $2.5 billion and owes money to banks, airports, tax authorities, plane leasing companies, and its staff.
The DGCA which suspended Kingfisher's licence to fly after months of cancelled flights and staff walkouts, has demanded a turnaround plan before the airline is permitted to fly again.
The DGCA wants all creditors to agree to the revival plan submitted by Kingfisher, and has not decided on its course of action, said the government official who has direct knowledge Of the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Bankers maintain they have the option of restructuring Kingfisher's loans for a second time, or infusing more capital, but they are awaiting a concrete revival or turnaround plan from the company, including capital injection by company chairman Vijay Mallya.
The airline did not say where it would find the money it needs, but mentioned it was in talks with several parties, including one in London, for new cash, the source said.
Mallya's United Breweries Group plans to invest 6.52 billion rupees in the airline as part of the turnaround plan it filed on Monday, according to reports in a local newspaper on Tuesday.
Kingfisher has tried unsuccessfully to raise cash for more than a year. It said earlier this month it was in talks with Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways and other potential investors about selling a stake in the carrier.

I use a few standard filters with this camera. They all (B&W and Hoya) work fine. No need to buy an expensive slim filter, that is a waste of money. To each his own but I did not even use a UV filter with this camera while trekking in Ladakh, India at altitudes up to 5,600 meters. I did not needed it (using Fuji 160s and Reala). Some of those picture can be seen at:

Remember Me
Since playing their first show in February 2011, the band has released their debut full length CD, completed a successful tour of England and Wales, two tours of the U.S. and is currently on their 3rd tour throughout the continental U.S.
In a typical Old Tire Swingers set, listeners will hear both traditional and original songs that vary tempos, energy levels, and emotion. The band prides itself on its vocal work with 2 and 3 part harmonies in most every song. Although much of the band's set list is hard-driving old time music, fans of bluegrass, country, acoustic, folk, and americana are sure to enjoy the Old Tire Swingers as well.

Dwarf peaches and nectarines are great for growing in a pot on the patio, deck or in the ground. Each is grafted about eighteen inches high to make a beautiful dwarf bush like the one pictured.
Each needs 500 chilling hours. All ripen in late June in central California to early August in the Pacific Northwest. All genetic dwarfs are very susceptible, but avoid leaf curl when they are grown in a special, easy-to-accomplish way.
Cover the tree so it stays dry from mid December to February, and it won't get leaf curl.

The Slogan has been decided already if you paid any attention - it is Forward, Not Back! The Country has to keep moving forward with current policies and not backward to the same policies that got us into trouble and what we have been facing after 8 and more years of the bush Administration.
"I'm outa here"
" what we have been facing after 8 and more years of the bush Administration."
Please explain. Last I looked "Dubya" served two full terms, 8 years... and that was 4 years ago. Are you saying that President O'bama has only been continuing Bush's administration? That is brilliant! Running against Bush got him elected the first time, it's bound to work the second time around!
So sorry I was golfing the first four, I promise to pay mor4 attention if you give me four more years.
Hoped things would change, or maybe hoped they don't change. Either way what time is my tee time again?
Dems want government to control everything and Reps want big business to run the show. We need a better choice!
Don't look back at all of those promises that I didn't follow through with!!! Just look forward
The slogan It is Forward Not Back is great and I think the song that should play when he enters is 'WAKE UP EVRY BODY' by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes listen to it and its all of what Obama stands for i just dont know how to get the message to him

So this is related to a prior question I posted - how to remove 4.3 simulators. I stupidly installed the iOS 5.0 Simulator, and now the technique offered in my last post does not work. When you remove the 5.0sdk, then restart Xcode, it forces you to install the legacy simulators or quit.
I even deleted Xcode 4.4 and re-installed it to no avail (it must store my unfortunate choice deep in the preferences file).
The reason I want to get rid of it is that the Scheme popup now has 5 options in it instead of 3, making it a real pain to test a Universal App.
EDIT: When I cd to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode/Downloads: $ ls Xcode.SDK.iPhoneSimulator.5.0-18.104.22.168.dmg Xcode.SDK.iPhoneSimulator.5.0-188.8.131.52.dmg eded78df8bfabaf6560841d10cf8e53766f74f28.dvtdownloadableindex f7133e82a08bdb4ebf724f16beed2bbac2a265cf.dvtdownloadableindex $ I have both Xcode 4.4 and 4.5DP3 on my machine, so assume that the first two files are one per Xcode release - in any case I moved both to /tmp.
The earlier suggestion had been to remove: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk

Jahii Carson will return to Arizona State
Arizona State just got the best news possible. Jahii Carson, one of the best freshmen in the nation this past season, has decided to put off NBA pursuits for at least a year and will return to Tempe for a sophomore campaign.
"I really didn't know," Carson told the AP. "I just took some time after the season to try to get some space, just to take some time, get some quiet, to get some shots up and just be a normal kid for once. I just wanted some time to try to get away with myself, but as the moment started coming up I started talking to my parents and coaching staff about it and I came to a decision."
Carson did have some NBA leanings, going through the process and filing initial paperwork, but he never signed with an agent. And without him, Arizona State would hardly be considered a sure thing to be in the mix for next year's NCAA tournament. This is big for Herb Sendek's job chances, too.
Carson averaged 18.5 points and 5.1 assists in 2012-13, his 177 dimes the most ever by an ASU freshman. He also scored more points, field goals and played more minutes than any first-year player in program history.
Carson was co-Freshman of the Year in the Pac-12, sharing the honor with NBA-bound UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad.

Megan Fox Apologizes to Lindsay Lohan: I Didn't "Degrade" Her in Esquire Interview
There's no drama between Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen costars Megan Fox and Lindsay Lohan. In the February issue of Esquire, Fox briefly mentioned the actress -- who has been arrested six times since they both appeared in the 2004 teen comedy -- while explaining her decision to have a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe removed from her right forearm.
PHOTOS: Megan Fox's body through the years
"I started reading about her and realized that her life was incredibly difficult. It's like when you visualize something for your future. I didn't want to visualize something so negative," Fox said of Monroe, who passed away at age 36 in 1962. "She wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay. She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable. She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's courtroom couture
Fox, 26, clarified her statements about Lohan, 26, in a Jan. 15 Facebook post. "I attempted to draw parallels between Lindsay and Marilyn in order to illustrate my point that while Marilyn may be an icon now, sadly she was not respected and taken seriously while she was still living," the Friends With Kids star (and mom to son Noah, 3 months) wrote. "Both women were gifted actresses, whose natural talent was lost amongst the chaos and incessant media scrutiny surrounding their lifestyles and their difficulties adhering to studio schedules."
Brian Austin Green's wife added, "I intended for this to be a factual comparison of two women with similar experiences in Hollywood. Unfortunately it turned into me offering up what is really much more of an uneducated opinion. It was most definitely not my intention to criticize or degrade Lindsay."
PHOTOS: Megan Fox's body through the years
"I would never want her to feel bullied, as she does not deserve that," Fox concluded. "I was not always speaking eloquently during this interview and this miscommunication is my fault."
Lohan has yet to publicly comment on Fox's Esquire interview.

Carpet Express
A large solution tank means you can clean a majority of your rooms without having to refill the tank. It had average cleaning results in Institute tests, and our testers said this unit was difficult to use. carpetexpress.com.
Reviewed: April 2010
Price When Reviewed: $25.00 /day rental plus the cost of cleaning solution
- Extracted nearly all of the water we put into the carpet swatches
- Best suited for carpets that are exposed to moderate traffic
- Cleaner may not remove heavy soils
- Testers said the cleaner was bulky and heavy to push
- The handle moves forward and backward, but doesn't extend up or down; several of our taller testers had to lean forward while using this cleaner
- The unit cleans and extracts the carpet only on the backward stroke, making it difficult to maneuver around a room
- Some controls may not be intuitive, and you may have to ask a sales associate for a complete instruction manual
- Upholstery attachment tools can be used with this cleaner; but they weren't included with the rental

Why do we celebrate the Fourth of July? After all, we are taught from kindergarten to the universities that all cultures are entitled to equal respect. Why then celebrate the creation of a nation that is no better than any other nation?
Indeed, if you heard only the litany of sins from American history that our students get throughout their years in educational institutions, you might think that the United States was worse than a lot of other places.
Most people, however, believe their own eyes, their own ears and their own personal experiences. That is why America is like a magnet, drawing people from the farthest corners of the world. Talk show host Ken Hamblin wrote a book whose title says it all: Pick a Better Country.
Nothing is easier than finding worse countries. The mass graves discovered in Iraq, the persecution of women in Afghanistan, the atrocities in Rwanda, the starvation in North Korea, the continuing slavery in the Sudan, and the brutal totalitarianism in the left's beloved Cuba are just some examples that come immediately to mind.
Those who continue to repeat the dogma of "equal respect" for all cultures and the mindless mantra of being "non-judgmental" must have a faith which passeth all understanding. Do they seriously believe what they are saying or do they think this sort of cant is necessary in order to avoid being hit with a nasty label like chauvinist or racist?
Nobody claims that the remarkable prosperity, freedom and common decency among Americans are due to race because the American population is made up of people from all the races around the world. It cannot be natural resources because the Soviet Union and its successor states have had at least comparable resources. Yet that never translated into an American standard of living for ordinary people.
It is hard to find a tangible thing to credit with the rare good fortune of the American people. But that only shows the importance of intangible things.
You cannot see, weigh or touch a culture but you can hardly avoid its impact. One remarkable feature of the culture that we have all inherited from the Anglo-American tradition is the rule of law. When the British beheaded King Charles I, it established in unmistakable terms that no one was above the law. That has become part of the legacy of the whole English-speaking world.
In recent years, economists have begun to understand the enormous effect of the rule of law on economic progress. Where there is no rule of law, the richest natural resources and even an educated professional class mean little in terms of raising a country's standards of living.

[ENG] Don't Cock It Up 'Open Your Mind' (Matra, 2001)
Reviewed in January 2004
The story:
The Review:
So let's get back to more serious things. Don't Cock It Up is a Tetris game - no less but a lot more... especially when you see how smooth the game runs on your MSX, you really can say S.T.A.R. (Cocktail Burpman Square Neurrodancer), Darth 007 (Game Guts, Stab FX Surpervisor), Madonna Mark II (Audiotherapist & Rocket Miss CCCP) and Miss z-0 (Surgey Heavy Metal Gear) did a great job. The bricks fall dawn smoothly, rotation is very good and even fast right-left motion (when you hold the right or left keys pressed) is extremely powerful like in the original game. There is no lag at all, and compared to many other Tetris clones I've played, Don't Cock It Up is one of the few that also authorizes to slide a brick right or left once it touches the bottom layer (useful when you need to fill in an empty hole). Apart that it runs on MSX2 and above, the game is entirely made in Screen 4 and utilizes 224 raster lines instead of the conventional 192 meaning the action fills entirely your TV screen! Besides all 8 single-mode player levels come with different backgrounds and different PSG music. Really nice.
Let's then go straight into game play. Upon loading the disk you have three game modes: Single player, Dual-Player 'Double Prozac' and Dual Player 'Freud vs. Hung'.
What's more to say? not very much except you can also choose between four different players: Boobie, Bengara, Musketeer and Pandonium. Each one has its own special caracter!

C. is excited to be taking her third loan with Esperanza, after having fully repaid her previous loans and grown her business. She plans to use this loan to invest in her jewelry and general supplies store and will put the additional profits towards the purchase of a small plot of land, with the hope of constructing a house on it sometime in the future. C. thanks all of you for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Married to Eddie (7-2000) Christian (1-2001) Sebastian (6-2005) Gabriel (11-2012)
No real advice, but I am sorry this is happening ! Where do other kids get the idea that things like that are okay to do to each other?
You're right -- the school shouldn't just act like it was not a big deal. A problem like that will only get bigger and more kids will be affected.
Have you, even in the back of your mind, considered moving your son to another school?
That is sooo not okay. Spitting in someones face is one of the most disrespectful things you can do. I would make sure that child is punished. Your poor son shouldnt have to deal with this. I'm very sorry hes going throught this and I hope it can be resolved.

This is a hard issue b/c in my experience, at this age, the kids are just starting to learn what they should and shouldn't tell about. Some kids my DS's age will come up to other moms on the playground and say "so and so bumped into me" or "so and so said the word stupid". We are always telling them they shouldn't come tell us about that sort of thing.
But the big stuff, such as seriously pushing or hitting someone, spitting, etc. is in a different category. I think it's actually hard for the kids to learn the difference (even if it's obvious to us), but it helps to keep explaining it to them, and to give them examples.
Our school had a bully 2 years ago and the school took it very seriously and eventually asked the family to pull the boy out. But sometimes the schools are dealing with the same issues as the kids (what should they take seriously, and what should they not) because you can imagine how much they hear about from parents, kids and teachers on a daily basis. They have to sort it all out.
The best thing you can do is to make sure the teacher and administration know, to report all serious activity to them, and to tell your child it's okay to report this sort of thing. I told my son to tell about bullying behavior because "then the teachers and parents can help this child learn to behave better and control himself, so he won't get in trouble so much." This worked great, believe me. It also helps if you can keep the reporting to exactly what happened, without characterizing it or making it seem emotional. Just very factual reporting is what's best for the administrators.
Good luck, and just IMO,I wouldn't keep your child home from school, just in case that sends him a message that he did anything wrong or that he's unsafe. But obviously, you know your child and the situation best.
Good luck!!
My son had a bullying incident on the bus as well. A kid told him he was going to give him a black eye and a bloody nose. I was at the bus stop the next morning to tell his bus driver what happened. She and I have a very good repore and she told me she would be addressing it with the boys herself and the principal. I happened to be at school the next day and discussed it with the principal because I wanted to know what actions they have in place for disciplinary actions for bullying. He told me what would happen and I was satisified with it. But my son was instructed that, that is not acceptable behavior and he was to immediately talk to an adult at school. I know some may disagree with this but I explained that if someone hits him, it is best to try to walk away but if they hit you again, then you turn around and hit them back and defend yourself. I told him that there is a difference between hitting to be cruel and hitting back for defending yourself. They are 7 - they do understand the differences. After that, we found out that the boys bullied another kid and they were given seating assignments on the bus in the front seat next to the driver. I would say go to the school and ask them what is being done. Make it known that you will not be a quiet parent and that you will be involved. NO child should have to endure bullying.
Laura - mommy to 2 beautiful and busy boys! I love being a mommy!!
For our house hold, there is a difference between tattling and reporting. Make the difference between the two known to your child.
My question is always "did this person hurt anyone? is this person hurting them self or doing something that can cause harm or hurt feelings?" Talk to your son, help him find ways to stand up for himself peacefully.
Let him know others will let him down sometimes, but he has a right to be heard. Maybe tell your son's teacher that she is teaching your son not to stand up for himself. I would say she acted inconvenienced by someone needing help.
The bully is the disruption and should be dealt with accordingly. She owes your son a sincere apology.
My son is very outgoing and a lot of kids like him, which also makes him a target for other kids who are not as confident My son has an imbilical hernia since birth. This other boy had been bothering him pretty much everyday, just being annoying at first (taking DS's shoes and hiding them, hiding his lunch bag) and my son would complain and be clearly upset about it everyday afterschool. I just told him to stay away from the kid as best he could and to let the teachers know. One day my DS got off school and was pale and looked like he was going to be sick. I guess this boy punched him in the stomache on his hernia. I called the school and left a pretty heated messege since nobody from the school had called to inform me about it. They apologized profously. I ended up switching schools the next year and my son hasn't had a single issue with a bully for the past two years at his new school.

Americans continue to pay a terrible, terrible toll for one of the longest (and most ill-conceived) wars in our nation's history.
In this war, the casualty count keeps rising, day by day, year after year. Hundreds of millions have been engulfed by it, and whole generations have been forever changed by their experiences with it. It has compromised us in the eyes of the world, and – worse – compromised our own intrinsic understanding of who we are as individuals, and as a nation.
The war I have in mind is the so-called "Sexual Revolution." And on every scale that ultimately matters, it is a complete and utter failure. Like the famous revolutions in France, Russia, and Cuba – all of which promised one thing yet delivered another – this revolt has turned out to be no more than a means for ushering in an even more murderous, corrupt, and invincible regime.
The would-be-overthrow of the once cherished mores of Western civilization has only brought us 50 years of licensed depravity, and with it social decline, spiritual disarray, and political and legal confusion.
What's more, our Sexual Revolution has provoked a massive identity crisis.
Consider: for decades, Hollywood has been working with the Hugh Hefners and Helen Gurley Browns to persuade us that the highest purpose and pleasure of life is sexual experience – the more varied and insatiable, the better. Living together is better than being married; "hooking up" is preferable to living together; orgies are better than one-night stands.
Anything that stands in the way of unrestrained sexual stimulation and activity is dissatisfying… and therefore evil, old-fashioned, phony, hypocritical, tyrannical – unbearable. So we have unisex bathrooms and dormitories, "family hour" television programs devoted to jokes about human genitalia, newsstands stacked with magazines whose covers present women uncovered for general leering and ogling.
We can't get enough of it. We want the oldest actors in movies telling the raunchiest jokes. We want our children taking sex-ed in kindergarten, if not before. We want our teens to know intercourse is fine at any age as long as they're "responsible." Life is about sex, and if you're not having it, thinking about it, planning for it, or enjoying it vicariously, you're not really alive.
That is the message of the culture. But the message of our courts is something else.

There is a lot of confusion in the world of orange liqueur. Allow me to set the record straight…
As you may know, I am the Cocktail and Spirits Expert for Rémy Cointreau. One does not earn this title by being a slouch. I've done a little research and a lot of hard work. Since joining the company, I've spent approximately 90% of my days on Cointreau. Why? It's high relevance and historical importance to cocktail culture as we know it… or can best remember it. It also happens to be a product that I've always held in high personal regard: that precious bottle, slightly more expensive than desired for its category when stocking my bar. But it makes all the difference.
So, let's talk orange liqueur. Better yet, let's talk Cointreau.
The Cointreau distillery was founded in 1849 in Angers, France. A beautiful, quaint town in the Loire Valley, complete with its own castle. On this appointed year, brothers and master confectioners Adolphe and Edouard-Jean Cointreau set up a still and started making spirits with the local fruit. The famous orange liqueur? Not yet. Not even close. Their first success was actually with Cointreau Guignolet, a wild cherry liqueur. It was so popular that it created a family tradition.
With a little scratch in their pockets, the Cointreau brothers' portfolio expanded exponentially: Anisette, Curacao, Cassis, Menthe, Vanille, Liqueur Jaune, Liqueur du Couvent, Noyau, Ananas, Marasquin, Prunelle, Fraises, Cerisette, Eau de Noix, Brou de Noix, and Kummel. And, the innovation continued for generations. I've even found long extinct, yet now applicable, products such as a quinquina called Quinap and an extra dry gin called Old Bickett. And, what happened to the Orange Bitters from the 1930's? Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The year is 1875. Edouard Cointreau, son of Edouard-Jean, has returned from worldly travels. Bent on proving his worth in the family business, Edouard decides to make his own liqueur. Not only something new, but an improvement on the past. An ambitious young fellow, but rightfully so. Edouard was about to write a symphony.
In the late 1800's oranges were considered exotic, since they had to be imported from Spain and other warm, dry climates. Of particular novelty were the bitter oranges from the island of Curaçao.
News flash, marketing to the masses with something "exotic" wasn't thought up yesterday.
Prevailing liqueur companies of the day made a product known as Orange Curaçao, macerating the peels of this exotic and inedible fruit with brandy and spices, then dosing the result with a lot of sugar… you know, to make it taste right.
Edouard saw opportunity. Here was an unrefined, yet highly consumed product. Why not perfect it? With a sense of purpose, Edouard set to work. During the first of his many late nights in the distillery he decided to cut the sugar, throw out the spices and celebrate the orange. Balancing the aromatics and flavors of the bitter orange peels was not achieved with heavy sweetness. Instead, this was solved with sweet orange peels. Additionally, brandy was ditched for a neutral spirit, the clean product of the industrialized and popular column still. The result: a liqueur for the modern age.
Triple Sec Blanc was born.
Here is where I take a very important moment of pause. Anyone laying claim to earlier provenance or creation of 'Triple Sec' has a little explaining to do. It seems that Triple Sec Blanc did not exist before 1875. Edouard had copious notes and even published a book on his process, which is the earliest documentation I've been able to reference on the subject. Disagree? I welcome the evidence. At best, I've found mentions of Curaçao Triple Sec and Curaçao Blanc, which were perhaps missing links in the evolution of orange liqueur. What we mean today when we discuss Triple Sec specifically, it's history and what has been so widely emulated, begins with Edouard's recipe for Triple Sec Blanc, which is not a Curaçao.
Furthermore, do not let the modern connotation of Triple Sec lead you astray. The two words, Triple and Sec, represent everything that Edouard set out to accomplish. Triple is a reference to the increased level of orange essential oils, not the number of distillations. Sec directly translates from French to English as dry. This was a product that set out to distinguish itself from its bitter and syrupy forefather. This was the opposite of that brownish Curaçao being hawked in clear round bottles. To prove it, Edouard bottled his clear Triple Sec in brown, square bottles.
Edouard's genius did not stop there. Obsessed with modern technology, and being good friends with Louis Lumière, he pioneered the world's first film advertisement. Fact. He was also known for his pop-up bars and automobile towed advertisements fashioned like giant bottles of Cointreau.
Marketing aside, we are left today with a product designed for the late 19th century. Designed for the age of the cocktail. Designed for the future. A future with a taste for quality and innovative simplicity.
Recipe unchanged since 1875, Cointreau remains a four ingredient masterpiece: orange peels (bitter and sweet, sourced from Spain and North Africa), neutral sugar beet spirit, sugar, and water. The family secret lies in the careful art of master distillation and Cointreau's custom stills: a unique setup of copper pots that swan-neck into copper columns.
So, why the name change from Triple Sec? Well, Edouard created something worthy of a namesake. He did the family proud. But, in all honesty, Cointreau's Triple Sec became so popular that it also became a category wrought with imitation. Visit the Cointreau distillery today and there is, what I dubbed, a wall of shame. A collection so wide of counterfeits and knockoffs that it spans a very, very long hallway. More than 1,000 copies have been identified and new ones are emerging every year.
So where do I leave you? With a product that was snuck through floorboards during American Prohibition in the 1920's and that swept the UKGB of 1930's London. Open up Here's How by Judge, Jr. Open the Savoy. Open the Café Royal. I leave you with a vital ingredient of the White Lady, Side-Car, Corpse Reviver No. 2, Margarita (Picador), and Cosmopolitan. Honorable mention to the Between the Sheets, Silent Third, Seelbach, Devil's Own and Jasmine. Cocktailians, this is an important part of your blurry, yet decipherable history. Something with a story. Something with a 6th generation. Treat it well.
And if you ever find yourself in Paris, take the hour and half train ride to Angers. I'll be sure to introduce you to Alfred Cointreau, who, if available, will proudly show off the birthplace of his family's contribution to cocktail history.

Andrew Ly
Andrew Ly
President, CEO, Ly Brothers Corporation
Andrew Ly (B.S., Accounting, '86) wasn't the most rested SF State student. Between classes, he operated a doughnut shop he owned with his four brothers. "It was tough," he says. "I studied all day and worked all night, rolling and firing doughnuts before delivering them to coffee shops."
Today he heads the Ly Brothers Corporation, the $42 million parent company of Sugar Bowl Bakery. One of the largest and most successful family-owned and operated bakeries in Northern California, Sugar Bowl delivers treats to Bay Area retail stores, restaurants and coffee shops, and to warehouse clubs across the country.
Andrew calls his customers "the real bosses" and takes their suggestions seriously. Suggestions like removing trans fat from his entire product line—which he did before the removal was mandated by the Food and Drug Administration. "Do you know how hard it is to make a doughnut without any trans fat?" he says.
Although the operation has expanded from its humble beginnings, Ly still dons a hair net daily to chat with some of his 375 employees at plants in San Francisco and Hayward. And he still draws from his business degree. "My education at SF State helped me a lot," Ly says. "Good professors and classes. Environmental Law and Accounting helped me set long-term and short-term objectives and understand how to deal with strengths and weaknesses of a company." Ly's attention to his employees' needs as well as those of his community helped earn him the Bay Area's Most Admired CEO award, presented by the San Francisco Business Times in November 2007.

Vote for Kristen Stewart's Best Breaking Dawn 2 Promo Look!
Kristen Stewart is finally having fun with fashion!
To promote the fifth and final film in the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn - Part 2, the 22-year-old actress has jetted from California to England to Spain within a matter of days.
PHOTOS: Inside the first Breaking Dawn - Part 2 premiere
Kicking things off at the film's world premiere in L.A. Nov. 12, Stewart turned heads in a nude, corseted Zuhair Murad dress that featured lace and chiffon panelling. With her curled hair parted to the side, Robert Pattinson's on-again love oozed confidence as she did on-camera interviews and signed autographs for fans.
VIDEO: See Kristen Stewart's Zuhair Murad dress from every angle!
On Nov. 14, Stewart, Pattinson and Taylor Lautner walked the red carpet in London. The actress -- who was caught making out with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders in mid-July -- had tongues wagging thanks to her embroidered, open-back Zuhair Murad jumpsuit that featured fully-sequined pants and lace panels.
PHOTOS: Kristen Stewart's grunge to glam fashion evolution
"To sustain energy on one project in five years is pretty remarkable, and we wouldn't have been able to do that if we were the only fans of it," Stewart told Us Weekly. "To look over your shoulder and see a million people doing that with you is insane and amazing and contagious."
Stewart toned things down a bit the following day at a photo call in Madrid at the Villa Magna Hotel. Wearing a Julien Macdonald body-con dress that featured a beaded neckline, the film's leading lady struck a confident post. She completed her look with Jerome Rousseau sandals and the same Cartier bracelet she wore to the L.A. premiere.

The actress brightened up later that night at the film's red carpet premiere in the nation's capital. Stewart showed off her gorgeous gams in an electric lemon Christian Dior mini-dress and studded black and white Barbara Bui ankle-strap pumps.

The new dietary guidelines and other studies on healthy beverages (see also here and here) show that beverages can be a rich source of nutrients in the diet. In Asia, for example, green tea consumption may help explain comparatively low lung cancer and heart disease rates given the level of smoking. Green tea may also aid in stopping the malignant transformation of cultured breast cells and may even help prevent cavities. But, drinking too much green tea may pose the potential risk of dental fluorosis in children. Tea is a great low calorie source of nutrients that may also help modulate brain activity (see also here). Healthy herbal teas include tulsi, osmanthus, dandelion, and hibiscus, which may elevate antioxidant levels in the bloodstream within an hour, but some liquid supplements containing tropical fruit juices such as noni and mangosteen may be toxic to the liver.
Cold water steeping of tea may lead to higher nutrient concentrations. Matcha tea (made from powdered tea leaves) is an excellent option. Avoid adding milk to tea to maximize nutrient absorption. 10 cups of tea a day is probably the safe upper limit. Here are some other interesting comparisons: earl gray vs. black tea, green vs. white tea, coffee vs. tea, and bottled vs. tap water.
Even light alcohol intake (up to a drink a day) is suspected to promote breast cancer. (see also here).
We may not be drinking enough fluids, evidenced by the fact that drinking water was found to boost children's' cognitive performance. Women should drink four to seven cups of water a day and men should drink six to eleven.
Coffee has also been shown to be relatively health promoting (see also here, here, here, here) though there are concerns about its effect on coronary artery function, although it may help prevent liver cancer. Beet juice has been found to significantly Beet juice has been found to significantly improve sports performance (see also here, here, here, here and here). Soymilk positively influences timing of puberty in girls and appears equal to cow's milk in terms of calcium absorption (as long as you shake it). Drinks to minimize include kombucha tea, yerba mate, noni juice, dairy, commercial carrot juice, artificially sweetened beverages, and soda, which may contain sodium benzoate and caramel coloring which may contribute to cancer risk. The media often bombards us with messages about what we should or shouldn't eat or drink so awareness of the source of funding and how it impacts the results of scientific findings is important.
Smoothies may maximize nutrient absorption without risking overly rapid sugar absorption. As long as we drink them slowly, we don't risk weight gain.
