SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - After five caucuses, six primaries, 20 debates and $30 million in television commercials, Mitt Romney leaves here facing the same stubborn question: Can a onetime Massachusetts governor with a history of ideological migration win the Republican presidential nomination in the era of the tea party, with all of its demands of political purity and passion?
Romney's victory here, in the state where he was born and raised, should help him quiet some of the anxiety in the party about his strength as a candidate. But in their sometimes vitriolic head-to-head matchup, Rick Santorum exposed once again Romney's weakness among social conservatives, making the kinds of fervent appeals to evangelicals that Romney, a one-time supporter of abortion rights, could not, and, he suggested Tuesday, would not.
"I'm not willing to light my hair on fire to try to get support," Romney said.
Though Romney chose Michigan nearly a year ago to deliver a speech trying to inoculate himself against criticism that his Massachusetts health care law was the model for the national overhaul pushed by President Barack Obama, the issue continued to dog him during the primary campaign, undercutting his support among small-government tea party supporters.
"Why would we nominate someone who is uniquely unqualified to take on the biggest issues of the day in this election?" Santorum asked a gathering of conservatives near here last week.
And, in a region that had been especially hard hit by the economic downturn, the main rationale for Romney's hoped-for general election candidacy against Obama, that his business acumen is desperately needed to fix the economy, began to show pressure cracks amid signs of job growth and returning corporate profits. As Michigan and Arizona voters went to the polls Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 13,000 for the first time since 2008.
Romney's victories Tuesday over Santorum in Michigan and Arizona, after a triple-loss three weeks ago in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, showed once again that when his back is against the wall, he and his muscular campaign operation can find a way to win. He remains his party's most plausible nominee, and benefits from an experienced organization and deep-pocketed backers.
But he continues to face questions about whether, should he win the nomination, he will be able to capture the energy of the conservative constituencies that have propelled the party when it has had electoral success in recent years, especially evangelicals and the tea party movement.
"It does seem that his campaign is having a tough time sort of garnering that — not just that support, but that energy that's needed," former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, a favorite of the movement, said in an interview late Tuesday. "Whether Romney wins or loses in Michigan tonight, just the fact that he's had such a fight in his home state is evidence of that blessing not yet being given to him across the board."
With his victories Tuesday, Romney increased his early lead where it matters most in the nominating fight — in delegates.
But he heads into Super Tuesday next week — when 10 states, including Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia, will hold contests — with his vulnerabilities more exposed to the political elements than they have been so far and with his rivals, chief among them Santorum and also Newt Gingrich, promising to press very strong challenges in nearly all of those states.
Yet, there are those conservatives who view Romney as plenty conservative enough, and are eager to move on to the battle to defeat Obama, with Romney as the nominee.
"Frankly, the candidates are so close ideologically I just think that we're losing sight of the huge gulf between our candidates and Obama," said James Bopp Jr., a conservative lawyer and party official in Indiana who supports Romney. "We're suffering from the 'grass is always greener' syndrome."

For the second time in the past year, Citizens for Responsible Government has filed suit against Madison County and the Madison County Board of Supervisors. Group members say the action was prompted after members read an article about supervisor reimbursements in the Madison County editions of Eagle Newspapers earlier this year. Now they want taxpayers' money back.
On behalf of CRG, John F. Caezza and David N. Harrington assert that Madison County does not maintain a valid policy for meal reimbursement. Their Article 78 petition, filed Aug. 9 with the Madison County Clerk's Office and served personally upon County Attorney John Campanie Aug. 10, asserts that the county does not maintain a valid policy for meal reimbursement. The petition claims members have taken meal reimbursement under a policy for which a proper resolution has never been passed and alleges those meals are unannounced and frequently attended by only certain board members. CRG says these activities violate County Law section 153 and article 7 of the Public Officers Law.
"That, in fact, reimbursing members of its Board for local luncheons and dinners is an inappropriate expense and an improper use of public funds," the petition reads. "Based upon the foregoing, Petitioners believe that the Board of Supervisors is proceeding in a manner which is in excess of its jurisdiction and is in violation of lawful procedures, thus raising questions under section 7803 of the [Civil Practice Law and Rules], sub 2 and sub 3."
CRG spokespeople say they have had enough of business-as-usual at the county.
"We have gone to [Chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors Rocco J.] DiVeronica to talk to him about these inefficiencies numerous times," Caezza said. "We mad+++e a presentation at an Administration and Oversight Committee meeting regarding the practices of meals and other reimbursements we felt were questionable. We've brought it up even more recently, and it needs to be responded to."

Stradey Castle is the home of the Mansel Lewis family. The Stradey estate has been in the family for some 200 years. The present house has remained virtually unchanged since it was built around 1850 and extended in the 1870's.
The renovation of this exclusive property on the outskirts of Llanelli is well underway. Planning permission to hold marquee wedding receptions and other celebrations (seating about 100) is expected during 2015, with weddings from 2016 onwards.
There are a number of elegant formal rooms in the House which contains a fine collection of Victorian Art. Adjacent to the house is a terraced garden, beyond which is a woodland garden consisting of a large collection of trees and shrubs.
While the house is not yet ready for dining events and conferences, Heritage Tours of the house and grounds have been a regular feature since 2012. The house is frequently used for wedding photographs and as a photographic and film location.
Although Stradey Castle does not offer overnight accommodation we can recommend a number of local hotels, in particular the Stradey Park Hotel, and guest houses.

Raven cares about one person: himself—his comfort, his desires, and his freedom to do as he pleases. He's fed up with scientist Sampson Marlow making decisions for him and ready to start a new chapter in his life. One last assignment goes horribly wrong, and he's the one who ends up in a cage…of sorts. Seeing the silent war between the two parties from the shifter's point of view gets his conscience involved—not that he'd ever admit that to anyone. Upon escaping the wolves and returning to the scientist's facility—fully intending to hand over his resignation—Raven finds himself drawn to a small Arctic Fox shifter held captive by the scientists. Although it puts Raven's plans to move on and forget that paranormals exist on the back burner, he can't seem to help himself. Raven does something he never thought he'd do. He goes to the enemy for help in freeing the shifter. Raven just wants to return the little fox to his skulk. He sure as heck-fire ain't gonna keep him. Then he'll move on with his life.

It doesn't matter if he's been naughty or nice all year. Adam's stocking is still getting stuffed full of Cole, this Christmas.
The coming of age for any vampire is cause for celebration, a time when they first taste blood. For Cole, however, his twenty-fifth birthday brings a terrible choice from his father—either he takes the life of another to prove his worth, or he forfeits his own life. Cole chooses the only way his heart will allow, and pays the price with both his fangs and the rapidly mounting blood starvation that will slowly end his life, now that his body needs to feed, but cannot. He escapes, bleeding, barefoot, and wearing nothing more than a simple cotton sleep-shirt. With his father's sentinels in pursuit, Cole soon finds himself half-frozen and unable to run anymore. The last thing he expects when he crawls into a dumpster to hide away for the last few hours of his life is to be rescued by a temperamental black cat and...aww hell...his cherished one, Adam. How is Cole meant to blood-bond to the wolf hybrid when his time is fast running out, and he has no fangs to even try? He quickly learns his cherished is far more than he appears, though, and Adam's friends at the Delta Rehabilitation Centre have even higher friends, with a score to settle with his father, of their own. It's just a shame he won't be around long enough to witness their payback.

Time is running out for the survivors of the Great War. If Halie does not find a way to sort truth from lie—Earth and Tereus, the second world that has been trapped in earth's gravitational pull, will collide and leave mankind at the not-so-tender mercies of the ghouls and phantoms—the invasion has already begun.
The order has been given—to locate and acquire the psychics or psis as they are commonly known—willing or not. Black ops agents of both factions are scouring the streets and labyrinth of the abandoned buildings of the inner cities, kidnapping any of the competent psis they can reach.
Desperate to preserve their freedom, Halie and her talented friends are barely a step ahead of the acquisition teams, but they cannot escape the hordes of ghouls and phantoms already haunting their world.
Fearing for their safety and freedom, Halie and her friends have been very secretive about their abilities. As the most powerful and talented of the group, Halie now finds herself the focus of the attentions of two handsome agents, one of the alternate dimension, Tereus, the other of her own Over-world, each begging for the help only she can give to avert the impending disaster, each believing his own need is greater. Both court Halie's love—but which sees the woman he professes to love, and which sees a means to an end?

Mariners experience another nightmare on Southside
CHICAGO - Sunday: Seattle 4, Chicago WS 3
Monday: Houston (Humber 0-1, 1.59) at Seattle (Saunders 0-1, 9.00)
Time: 7:10 p.m.
Radio: 97.3 FM
When Dayan Viciedo's screaming line drive finally crashed into the left-field seats at U.S. Cellular Field in the 10th inning Sunday, it became the 44th win via walk-off home run since the park opened in 1991.
It just feels like 43 of them have come against the Seattle Mariners.
The Mariners have only three of those losses via walk-homer at U.S. Cellular. But this was the ninth time the White Sox have beaten them in walk-off fashion.
Each time, gets a little tougher for the Mariners to take.
Sunday's 4-3 extra inning loss cost Seattle a chance at a series win — something that doesn't happen often. It only added to their misery against the White Sox.
The Mariners (3-4) have lost 13 of their past 15 games against the White Sox (4-2) and 21 of their last 25 on Chicago's Southside.
Right now, returning home to Safeco Field and playing the hapless Houston Astros seems like a good thing.
"It was a hard-fought ballgame, it was a hard-fought series," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.
The Mariners had chances to win all three games but left with just one victory.
Kameron Loe came in to pitch the 10th inning of a 3-3 game. He got the dangerous Paul Konerko to line out to center to start the inning. But he fell behind to Viciedo and tried to throw a 2-0 sinker on the outside corner. The pitch leaked back over the plate and Viciedo launched it into flight.
"If you pipe it down the middle on 2-0 to any of these big league hitters, they are probably going to put a good swing on it." Loe said. "It was just a bad pitch."
The Mariners probably shouldn't have put Loe in that situation. Seattle got solid start from Hisashi Iwakuma, which was good enough to win the game.
The right-hander threw eight innings, giving up three runs on four hits with no walks and three strikeouts.
"Kuma was good again today," Wedge said. "For him to go eight innings this early in the season, he was obviously very efficient. You are going to have some long balls here, but I thought he did a nice job of controlling the ballgame."
Iwakuma was victim to two long balls.
He got a 2-0 lead before even throwing a pitch as Michael Morse hit his fifth homer of the season — a two-run shot deep to left off White Sox starter Chris Sale.
Iwakuma couldn't keep the lead, leaving a split-finger fastball up to Adam Dunn, who crushed deep into the stands in right-center for a two-run homer.
After the mistake, Iwakuma retired 16 straight hitters.
"I was able to pitch in a very good rhythm and find my groove," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki.
It's not easy to do in a place such as U.S. Cellular. The threat of the homer looms in every pitcher's mind.
"It's scary to pitch here," Iwakuma said. "Anything that goes up in the air, it has a chance. The only thing we can do is keep the ball down and make them hit it on the ground."
The out streak ended when Alex Rios jumped on an inside fastball from Iwakuma, ripping a solo homer to left to tie the game in the seventh inning. Rios homered in all three games of the series.
"We wanted to go in, and we did go in, but he still got to it," Iwakuma said. "You just have to tip your hat to him."
Still, it was an outing good enough to get a win. And for a while, his effort looked like it would be enough.
Seattle took a 3-2 lead in the sixth as Kendrys Morales hit his first home run as a Mariner, blasting a solo shot to left-center off Sale.
That was all the offense the Mariners would muster. Morse struck out with runners in scoring positioned in the eight and 10th inning.
"We had opportunities there to do something, and we didn't take advantage of them. And they took it from there," Wedge said.
Over the course of the first seven games of the season, Wedge has liked what he's seen from his team in terms of effort — even in the losses.
"Obviously, these will guys will come out and fight and we knew that was going to be given," he said. "It's the first week. There are some good things that have happened and some things we need to get better with."
Finding a little more stability within the offense is one of those things.
"We need to settle in offensively with different individuals and collectively," Wedge said. "That will take some of the pressure off the pitching staff."

Review for Second Chance Thoroughbreds, Inc., Spencer, NY, USA
Collette and second chance thoroughbreds do amazing work and I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with her in the past. Not only does she put her entire life's work into findin new homes for OTTBs, but she goes the extra mile every time to make sure the horses are happy and healthy. Every horse that comes through her hands receive a new foundation from day one. I adopted a Thoroughbred from Collette when he was off the track for 1 year as a 5 year old. He is now one I the most well adjusted horses at his current barn, and the barn mostly consists of Rocky Mountain Horses... Nobody believes me when I tell them he raced. When he first arrived at collettes, he was very nervous and anxious, now he is a trailblazer and loves to jump.

How a tech-savvy woman lost $1,000 in a classic puppy scam
PORTLAND, Ore. --- Another day, another scam, another victim. Online hoaxes drawing on pictures of cute puppies or brand-new laptops sometimes seem like they were invented even before the internet.
But this victim doesn't fit the typical profile.
Sara Hardie is young, tech-savvy and grew up in a household where her parents taught her to be wary of bogus online deals.
For whatever reason – maybe it was Christmas season excitement – Sara let a scammer lure her in last week.
She paid more than $1,250 for a puppy that almost certainly doesn't exist.
Sara and her husband planned to find a companion for their feisty one-year-old Shepherd-Husky mix named Bones.
"You're in tunnel-vision," she said, describing how she felt after stumbling across an online classified advertisement for St. Bernard puppies on a local Portland website.
"You see something you really want. I was side-blinded. I didn't pay attention to the red flags at the time."
The seller claimed he recently moved to Florida from Oregon and had a litter of ten puppies.
According to Sara, he said his new Florida landlord wouldn't allow dogs, so he was looking to find people to adopt them.
Sara says she had to answer questions similar to a real shelter or breeder's screening criteria regarding her interest, knowledge and commitment before the seller would allow her to adopt the puppy.
After getting the go-ahead, Sara says all she was asked to pay were the $350 shipping fees for a cross-country flight.
The seller instructed her to buy a pre-paid electronic money card from a grocery store that can be redeemed similar to money wire services.
Then he asked for money… again.
"He called and needed $900 because the airline requires dogs to have insurance," said Sara.
She bought the pre-paid card and sent the seller the money for a second time.
The red flags were piling up, but Sara wasn't noticing.
"It was puppy syndrome. You see a puppy you really want, you don't think about all this stuff, I guess," she said.
The dog was supposedly arriving on a cross-country flight at 1:30 in the morning.
Sara stayed up until 4:30 am. The dog never arrived. But a phone call did. The seller claimed the dog was stuck in Washington, DC, and needed money for medical procedures.
That's when the red flags finally materialized for Sara.
The seller used different email addresses.
He spoke with a thick accent.
He used bad grammar and terrible spelling.
He would only accept anonymous payments using pre-paid money cards or money wire services.
He would not give out his phone number or address.
Shouldn't it be obvious to a young, tech-savvy person like Sara?
"It's Christmas," she said. "I like to believe you can trust people out there."
Sara bought the pre-paid money cards with her regular credit card so she says her issuer agreed to cover all of her loss.
She and her husband also decided they still want a dog.
On Sunday, they picked up a Plott hound from a shelter before he was scheduled to be euthanized.

Picture: Andy Dick LA premiere of 'Funny People' at the Arclight Theatre Hollywood, California - 20.07.09
Troubled comedian Andy Dick has been released on $60,000 (£37,500) bail following his arrest on sex charges on Saturday (23Jan10).
The Road Trip star was detained in Huntington, West Virginia in the early hours of Saturday morning and arraigned later that day on two counts of felony sexual abuse.
DICk was in the state to perform three dates over the weekend (22-24Jan10) at the Funny Bone comedy club and restaurant in Huntington - and the manager of venue, Tom Schaeffer, has confirmed he paid the comic's bail.
The charges relate to DICk's evening out at Huntington's Rum Runners bar after he allegedly grabbed a security guard's crotch. He is also facing allegations he kissed a male bar-goer without invitation.
DICk, who is currently on three years' probation after pleading guilty to drug possession and battery in October 2008, is due back in court on 2 February (10).
The star's lawyer tells TMZ.com his client "is stunned by these allegations" and he is "strongly denying any criminal conduct."

Remember Me
To watch Mike D. play is quite a thing. His entire body gets involved with the instruments and he rarely stops moving. His arms a blur and his head shaking nearly loose from his frame, Mike seems possessed with a desire to always find something new, something deliciously rhythmic in any piece. And low and behold he usually finds it.

My husband and I initially came into Walmart to hopefully (emphasis on hopefully) see if the Mongoose Deception or Snarl were in stock. We were already disenchanted with the fact that we were going to have to ship these bikes using site-to-store, and it would take a whopping 2 weeks before we'd receive them. We rolled the dice to see if we could cut into that long wait.
Lo and behold, there wasn't just one Mongoose with dual-disc brakes on the bike floor...there were 2! The Mongoose Stat was not only in stock, but the bikes were fully (and correctly) assembled, and ready to go!
We just rode them roughly 8 miles today, and the feel, the ride, the efficiency of the bike were all above our expectations. We are avid bike riders, and we know a good bike when we ride one. Correction...we're not just avid riders, our bikes are our transportation, so it is essential that they are efficient, smooth, can handle rough terrain and are user-friendly.
Well, the price just CANNOT BE BEAT! Where on earth can you buy a 29" bike with DUAL DISC BRAKES anywhere for just $219?
Although we just bought the bikes today, we have already gotten our money's worth.
We just couldn't be more thrilled!!
The bike's color scheme was the first thing that caught my eye, then the frame which almost looks like an enlarged BMX frame. The 29 inch wheels are great because they provide greater balance being wider and bigger they grip more pavement. When I bought it I rode it outside the store and the front derailleur wasn't shifting up to 2nd gear from first. It was just misaligned and they quickly aligned for me at the store, now they shift smoothly and quietly. I love the quick release hubs on the wheels, they make putting they bike in the car so easy! For the size of the bike I find it quite light at 35 pounds, to be honest just the frame and wheels are worth more than the $220 that you pay. The frame looks smaller than what it actually is because of the angle of the top tube; the down tube is about 22 inches long. The quick release seat is also very handy when my mom, dad or sister want to ride it for a bit. The disk brakes are quick and responsive. The SRAM twist grip shifters are easy to use and I prefer them over the trigger shifters. The only thing that I found uncomfortable was the seat, although it could be that I haven't ridden a bike in 8 years! Overall I love this bike and I can see myself riding it for a long time!
I purchased this bike after looking at several others and reading reviews on this site. I was impressed that I could find a bike for this price that had 29" wheels and dual disk brakes. I really liked the blue/black paint scheme too. I have ridden the bike over 30 miles since I bought it a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I replaced the seat with a gel one, but I've never had a bike that had a comfortable stock seat. I've also done a few small things to it, but honestly, I could have left it alone and been perfectly happy with it. If you're on the fence about this bike because of the "Wal-Mart bike" stigma that bike snobs have placed on these, I can safely assure you that you will not be disappointed if you buy this bike over a $1000 TREK bike. If you do have any problems, contact Mongoose directly, and they will be more than happy to help you. The only thing I did have to do with my bike was adjust the front derailleur so it shifted in to third gear, but most bikes you buy need a little tweaking out of the box. A bike shop will do it for you for a very cheap price.
I'm having fun riding it. I mtn bike in Pacific NW (roots, rocks, mud, etc). Not your urban trail setting. This bike works! The 29" wheels roll over areas that would sometimes challenge a 26". The frame top tube has a steep angle to it so the bike can fit a wide number of riders. I was looking for a bike to keep around as a loaner when friends/family come to town so we can hit the trails. This bike is just the ticket. OK it is not fancy and has some limitations but what do you expent for a $200+ bike? It weighs about 3 Ibs more than my $800 mtn bike, not that big a deal considering it is 26" and this one is 29". The brakes are squishy but you allow for it. The shock is not too great but it works. You have to be careful shifting, not under load, but that also can be allowed for. I read some of the reviews here about bikes breaking down right away. It is clear that some were not assembled correctly at the store and people did not check the bike before hopping on for a ride. Consequently, broken axles, chain problems, etc. So do not trust the store to assemble it correctly. Check all fittings and alignments yourself before riding. Make sure the wheels are set in the hangers properly for instance. All things considered, a really good deal.
I Just returned from my local Wal-mart from riding my new Mongoose Stat 29er. I got a ride to the store money in hand, after reviewing all of my local walmart stores' 29" and 26" bikes. I initially wanted to buy the Ledge but there were no models in stock and that bike was roughly 9 Lbs. more than the stat. The only 29ers t the store were the stat and the Kent Genesis 29er. the Kent was too heavy for a comparable bike; I have a Genesis 26" V2100, which I rode everyday for a year. After comparing the components of the Mongoose and Genesis, I found the Mongoose has more solid state products. After buying my Stat, and from some pre-anticipated issues from my research, I anticipated there would be some "tweeks" to ride it to my home. First thing, in the parking lot, the front neck /was loose and the tires were low. I walked the bike to an air pump @ the local Giant, then to autozone for allen wrenches to tighten the loose neck. I rode the bike 5 miles with no problems.
I've had this bike for 3 months now. It has been ridden on both City Streets and Dirt Trails. Usage Frequency:Daily. First day I got it I made sure to tighten ALL bolts and screws and what nots.... and of course there were several lose bolts, cranks and such. Once I was sure everything was tighten and secure, I took it out straight to the Dirt Trail..... It handled very well. Fork is not the greatest. Like riding it on the streets a lot more. After 3 moths of usage approx: 180 miles, the bike has begun to have issues. Mostly things that should be fixed with a TuneUp. I bought the Product Care Plan which gives you the impression it will cover all issues including routine maintenance....... it doesn't tried filing a claim they told me to just return the bike for a new one. No way, I have upgraded the tires and brakes pads. Stripped it off of all sticker and plastic uselessness and like it too much to change it. Check out the pics. Will try to get it serviced after the 90 day return time. Not a Bad Bike at all for $170, including taxes $190 with 3 yr Care plan. CHA CHING!
I bought this bicycle a couple weeks ago and try to get in 12+ miles in every other day. This bike handles the soft sand, bumpy terrain of the tree roots and dips on the path. And makes a great street bike. :) HOWEVER the seat itself could use a bit more padding as my backside tends to feel the brunt of it..lol wiggling my happy dance.
these bikes have issues right from the start. first thing you need to do is get one in the box and put it together yourself or completely take apart the "assembled" one and check everything out like make sure there is grease in the bearings, mine came with half greased bearings and half were dry...really??? its grease. really cheap be generous. front and rear brakes needed adjustment. rear shifter needed adjustment and lubrication. almost every nut and bolt was loose. left side crank arm had this issue where it would loosen itself after approx. 5 miles Zep high strength red threadlock compound fixed that for good. had this issue where the chain skipped and came off the front sprockets destroying the front derailleur and chain guard cause was the rear derailleur pivot pin sheared causing the chain skip. after all that mess i just upgraded both front and rear derailleurs, and am waiting for a sweet pair of rapid fire shifters to arrive. needed a new chain after only 100 miles . tires only good for around 200 miles. the seat is just awful uncomfortable. also the seat tube has a direct path right into the crank bearings allowing moisture and dust/dirt to get in the bearings....not good for grease. frame is really nice surprisingly strong and light. front fork is mediocre at best compresses but doesn't like to rebound on its own. I'm told they either won't compress or wont rebound so you have a 100% chance of it not working as expected. 500 miles of mostly road use in 4 months and $275 bucks in repairs and upgrades and I'm happy with it now. in summary if you want a bike that won't give you any problems this is not it. but if you want a good frame and are willing to spend some additional cash on upgrades this would be a great bike.
this is a great bike for tall people and its got a nice desigh on the frame,the color is also nice rides good
I bought this to ride on pavement, concrete, and light gravel (along a canal). So far I have taken it on about 16 miles of riding and so far it has been great! The brakes and shifting are excellent and the control is fabulous. I am 6'5" and 250 lbs and have no problem riding it.
In hopes of getting my sorry 59 year old undisciplined self back in some kind of shape, I purchased this bike. I read all the reviews about how the bike won't stand up to anything rough. Really...does anyone have to tell us that this bike probably won't suit professionals or class VI trails. I'm assuming that if you're looking at this bike, you're looking for a decent workout and the ability to ride off road with moderate intensity. This is the bike for that. I have had this bike for about 2 weeks now and have ridden it everyday. It was fairly easy to assemble, but I used to work on bikes a lot...I would think twice about it if you aren't mechanically inclined or never worked on bikes. My overall opinion is that I honestly can't believe this bike is priced this low. You get a really nice bike for the money. I mean, really...it has way too many gears for me to ever use. Brakes work good, shifter works good, wheels turn smoothly, frame is very stout and when I am done riding, I just glide right down the rock steps leading to my front porch. Upgrade the seat, though. The stock one will chap your hide and bruise your cheeks.
The Mongoose Stat is an excellent bike. I needed a new bike and couldn't wait, so I bought it from a Walmart store. In the three weeks I had it, I managed to put 92 miles on it, with no problems of any kind. Street, grass, dirt, or mud, the bike handled it with ease. I would recommend this bike to anyone who's just starting to ride or on a limited budget. The seatpost was a little short for me, but I'm about 6'6" and a little more than half leg. Shorter people should fit just fine. Anyway, unless you get one that's poorly assembled for some reason, this bike should hold its own against anything you do to/with it short of being struck by a moving car.
I bought this bike two months ago, as a commuter bike for use in a rural area. My daily commute is 10 miles each way, including several dirt roads. In that two months, I have put over a thousand miles on the bike. Other than replacing the rear tire due to normal wear, I have have not done anything to the bike, and she still runs as smooth as the day I bought her. I average 14.5 mph, over the ten mile ride, with speeds of up to 17mph. One thing I had been looking for is bike that rode as smoothly on the road as on the trails, and this bike has it. The front suspension will easily handle anything thrown in front of it, from curbs to tree roots, or the occasional 2×4 laying in the road that seems to appear out of nowhere at 430am. Very satisfied with this bike, has handled everything I have thrown at it over the last two months.
I went to the local Wally World to shop for a 26" tire mtn bike. Saw the Mongoose Stat and liked the way it looked. Pulled it out of the rack and adjusted the seat then found out that it fit me just fine. I have a 29" inseam so I didn't think it would fit. Absolutely the best deal out there for a dual disc brake, basic, 29" wheel mtn bike. Thanks Wal-Mart!
My Husband was pleased to see the bike under the tree. It is a nice size bike for a 5'9" & up male. Color is a two shades darker than picture which I am glad.
I have to say this is a dynamite bike for the price. This is the 3rd 29 inch mongoose I've owned. I sold the other 2 AFTER i had them for a year for more than I paid for them. This bike is gorgeous and rides like a charm. Sure it's not a $2,000 29r but I don't have that budget. I had it delivered to my home for $3.00 and did some light assembly and tightening, but if you are not bike savvy, take it to a local bike shop for a quick $20 lookover. I'm riding on the tires right now but have street tires coming b/c I only ride on streets.
This is a pretty decent bike. I used to work at a bike shop that sold top of the line bicycles. This would be a starter bike for someone who just wants to ride around trails, and such. The disc brakes are alot better then the normal brakes. It also has whats called a A head set. which is alot better then the wedge type head set. The heavy duty peddles are a plus too. Well worth the money.
I have had this bike for one month. I average ten miles a day on the trail. The only thing that I had to change within the first week was the seat. It cuts into you like a wedge. I installed a gel cruiser seat, and that did the trick. This bike performs as good as a $1200 unit. The only other thing I will change in the future, is the tire size. I will increase the size when replacement is needed.
the options on this bike for the money are great. Getting a bike with disc brakes for less than 250.00 is fantastic.
Putting the bike together when it arrived was a breeze. it took me 30 min!!!!
The bike is very comfortable to ride.
We had the bike shipped to our home (no charge) and it arrived in less than a week. It was double boxed/packaged to prevent damage - this impressed us. Then the bike was nearly already assembled. My son put on the handlebars, seat, and peddles - that was it. They did have to adjust the shifting, but that was not too big of a deal, and the bike came with paperwork offering fee assembly at our local Wal-mart, if we wanted it. The bike is a good deal for the price, attractive, easy to assemble, and rides well. The tires are good an knobby, perfect for dirt trails. The bike shifts smooth, etc. The seat is reasonably comfortable for long rides. I definitely would recommend this bike (you can't beat the quality and price when you have disk brakes front and rear).

At the risk of resurrecting a tired and old thread, I saw this and had a
comment of a different sort than Scott's post and subsequent responses.
At 11:38 AM 7/10/2002 -0500, Scott Richard wrote:

This is popular among several companies I've worked for and with. IMO it's
A Good Thing, because it hopefully suggests that organizations (a) want to
improve security for their public-facing servers and (b) finally realize
that there's no such thing as a sacrificial lamb host/server (if there ever
were such things other than honeypots, I'm not certain I ever agreed with
Don't you think that eventually, enough organizations will be held
accountable for attacks perpetrated from systems they are responsible for
operating that all zones an organization operates will have to be more like
what we've traditionally called trusted zones? Is it wrong to think that
how we distinguish "trusted zones" would be a matter of (many)
constituencies and AAA policy rather than a boolean "here's something we're
willing to place at (greater) risk, and here's stuff we're not"?
Some companies are still using what we've traditionally called a DMZ but as
a "dirty network". It's a place where they allow visitors, guests, any 3rd
party who has authorized entry to their facility but no license/authority
to use their trusted network. In addition to the compartmentalization of
these people from the trusted network, they have more lax outbound policies
- for example, one company does not allow outbound connections to IM or
gotomypc or any peer to peer application (at least the ones they know how
to block:-) on their trusted network but allows these on their dirty network.

I purchased two 32 oz. Nalgene bottles. Having two bottles means always having cold water ready and available. I also bought a splash guard for these wide-mouth bottles so that I can drink from them while being active without spilling on myself. Finishing two bottles seems like less than drinking 8 glasses of water, but it's the same amount! Also better for the environment than plastic bottled water!

Hepatitis Health Center
Can Hepatitis C Be Cured?
New drugs are making big improvements in the way you get treated for hepatitis C. More and more, the goal of a "cure" is now in reach.
As treatments get better, nearly everyone with hep C may be able to look forward to a disease-free future.
Recommended Related to Hepatitis
Tips to Deal With Hepatitis C Fatigue
When you have hepatitis C, being tired -- really tired -- can be a fact of life. But there are ways you can boost your energy. Here, three people who have experience with fatigue from the disease share their tips.
Read the Tips to Deal With Hepatitis C Fatigue article > >
The Road to a Cure
The goal of your treatment is to get rid of the hepatitis C in your body. You're considered cured if you don't have any virus in your blood 6 months after you stop taking medicine.
A turning point in finding a cure came when doctors began treating the disease with interferon in the 1990s. The drug boosts your immune system, your body's defense against germs, to help it fight off the hep C virus.
Next came the use of ribavirin, another drug that fights the virus. You take it with interferon to improve treatment. Thanks to this combo, the cure rate jumped from less than 5% in the 1980s to about 50% by the early 2000s.
But interferon and ribavirin can give you side effects, including muscle aches, fever, nausea, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. You also need to take them for up to 48 weeks to see results.
In 2011, the FDA approved two new drugs: boceprevir (Victrelis) and telaprevir (Incivek). They stop the virus from making a copy of itself.
Combining telaprevir or boceprevir with interferon and ribavirin pushed success rates as high as 70%. But the drug combination still wasn't ideal.
"Adding that third drug increased the side effects tremendously," says Anna Lok, MD.
The New Standard in Hepatitis C Treatment
In 2013 and 2014, the FDA approved three new drugs:
- Simeprevir (Olysio)
- Sofosbuvir (Sovaldi)
- Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir (Harvoni)
You take simeprevir with interferon and ribavirin. The combo clears the hep C virus in up to 80% of people who take it.
Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir can be taken without interferon and ribavirin. Sofosbuvir can be used without interferon for people with some types of hep C.
Sofosbuvir comes in an easy once-a-day pill. It takes as few as 12 weeks to work, and it cures up to 90% of people who take it.
"Being able to give a treatment that is one pill a day with few side effects is very attractive," Lok says. "This is why everyone is very excited."
Other new interferon-free drugs are expected to come along in the next year or two, she says.
The Cost of a Cure
The new drugs aren't cheap. A full course of treatment can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Check with your insurance company, and also ask your doctor if you can take advantage of drug company programs that give financial assistance.
