What Virg Bernero and his supporters are saying about him:
He has brought 6,000 jobs to Lansing.
It is accurate that about 6,000 jobs were created or retained in Lansing under Bernero's watch. His office boasts about $570 million in private investment, aided by $177.5 million in tax and other incentives.
But from 2006 to 2009, the number of employed Lansing residents fell 6.7% -- from 60,958 to 56,859, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Almost half of the manufacturing jobs in the Lansing tri-county area have disappeared since 2000, dropping from about 28,700 to about 17,800 -- up from 15,500 in 2009, according to Current Employment Statistics.
About tonight's debates
• Guide: Prepping for the Snyder-Bernero debate
• Rules of the Debate: A coin toss, time limits in effect
About the candidates
• Virg Bernero and Rick Snyder: Where they stand
• What supporters say about the 'nerd.'
• Lansing mayor touts job growth
• The Democrat's slams on Rick Snyder
• How the GOP is bashing Virg Bernero
Of the $188 million in new construction in Lansing, $182 million is from a headquarters for Accident Fund Insurance, which is converting a power plant. That project is helped by a $10-million state tax credit and $33 million in state and city tax breaks.
Lansing's unemployment rate is lower than the state's.
No. Lansing's unemployment rate was 14.5% in August. The state unemployment rate is 13.1%.
Lansing's unemployment rate was 8.6% when Bernero took office.
Lansing's economy is more stable than most, with state government, a major General Motors manufacturing presence and two colleges -- Michigan State University and Lansing Community College. But no city has escaped the poor economy and its dire effect on the auto industry.
He cut Lansing government 20% with no tax hikes and without cutting police.
The number of full-time employees has fallen since 2006, from 1,220 to 1,041. That may drop to 1,000 with expected retirements. That would make it an 18% reduction since Bernero took office. That doesn't mean city government costs 18% less.
Since Bernero took office in 2006, the city's general fund budget rose from $107.6 million to $117.3 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30. It dropped 6.6% to $109.4 million, this year.
Lansing has coped with falling local tax revenues, especially property taxes, the result of lower property values. General taxes have not been raised. Bernero gets high marks for squeezing city employee unions for concessions and keeping a lid on costs.
In 2009, the city avoided laying off 14 police officers through pay concessions. This year, the city offered a retirement incentive to help close a $12-million budget shortfall.
Bernero's office budget was cut 2.8% to $705,000. He eliminated his personal, city-owned Cadillac and increased what he pays for health insurance.
The 2006 police general fund budget was $28.6 million with 337 full-time positions. The current police fund is $33.1 million with 328 full-time jobs.

I like PDQ like I like the tree I just planted last year. I walk out every so often to see if anything has changed. Sometimes I think I didn't water enough. Sometimes I think I didn't fertilize it enough. Sometimes I think it is dead. Then I remember it is a tree and it is winter. I hope the tree is rooted well. If so, spring will tell me if there is life. Tree teaches patience.
I am naming my tree the PDQ tree as they remind me of each other. Dead? Will spring show life? Very little information from both to guide me.
Cheers -

How old were you when you got your driver's license?
15. Here's where it gets tricky, lol. I didn't have my own car when DH and I got together. So although some of our cars had my name on them, technically the Suburban I drive is the first car that was bought solely for my use.
If that doesn't count, then it was probably the 1998 Mitsubishi Galant we bought right before getting married.
16. It was an Audi of some kind. I don't even remember. It was 12 years old when I bought it.

A North Lenoir firefighter takes equipment back to the truck after a woman, pinned in her vehicle, was rescued by the jaws of life on May 13, 2014, in Kinston, N.C.

If you've been a loyal auto insurance customer, you may be disappointed to learn that your insurer is thanking you for your business by continually raising your premiums.
Research from NerdWallet, a data-driven, consumer finance website, shows that U.S. drivers overpay on their auto insurance by an average of $368 each year, and that comparison-shopping can save consumers up to 32%.
So why aren't more people shopping around for a better deal? And why do rates continue to rise for loyal, long-term customers? ...

These are patterns for the Latin language mainly in modern spelling (u when u is needed and v when v is needed); medieval spelling with the ligatures \ae and \oe and the (uncial) lowercase 'v' written as a 'u' is also supported; apparently there is no conflict between the patterns of modern Latin and those of medieval Latin.
The patterns support the restricted character set of the OT1-encoding (obviously without the ligature characters), as well as T1-encoded usage.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD - Grading & Discussion
View Single Post
November 8 2013, 04:18 PM

Location: CaptainWacky
Re: THOR: THE DARK WORLD - Grading & Discussion
It was a good, fun, fast-paced action movie! Almost too fast-paced at times, but the frantic feel really worked in the crazy final act. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman were really good and OF COURSE Tom Hiddleston was great at Loki. The final twist got an APPROVING MURMUR from the audience.
All the characters get good stuff to do. Some less than others, granted (poor Hogun) but every scene moves the plot on and there's no pointless filler. Frigga got a pretty good part (considering she didn't speak in the first move until 90 minutes in) and I liked the scene with her and Loki. Her death scene was good too and she had a really pretty funeral!
I've seen people complain that there's too much humour but I wonder if those people have actually seen a Marvel movie before? Maybe a couple of the jokes could have been cut, but was all good humour and a lot of it was laugh out loud. Kat Dennings was really good as Darcy and I was pleased she was relevant to the plot and had a lot more to do than in the first movie. But the humour highlight was probably Stellan Skarsgard, surprisingly! And his lack of trousers. The Chris Evans cameo was hilarious too.
I liked the design of Asgard. It felt more like a real place this time and less like Rainbow Road from Mario Kart. I like that they have flying boat things.
The final fight travelling through the portals was more fun than just a straight fight would have been and they brought back the ice dog thing from the first movie and I love that ice dog thing. Having Jane and friends involved helped make it different from a standard super hero finale.
I liked that because it was set in England there were recognisable brand names (Vimto!)
I watched a press conference thing a couple of weeks ago where Alan Taylor or Christopher Eccleston said about the villain Malekith "hey has a really compelling backstory...that you'll see on the Blu Ray release!" I thought they were joking but no, most of his backstory scenes seem to have been cut. And the prologue narrated by Odin feels a bit halfassed and too similar to the first movie with Laufrey. It's a shame because Eccleston does a good evil sneer and I would have liked more scenes with him talking to Mister Eko. But as I said it's such a fast paced movie that I guess they thought he only needed the bare minimum of screentime.
They kind of set something up with Sif being jealous of Jane but it never goes anywhere. But I didn't really want to see Sif being all bitchy anyway. Also Jaimie Alexander was badly injured during filming and I think they had to scarp some of her scenes.
I can see why Alan Taylor didn't like the mid-credits scene. It's not bad but the tone is completely different to the rest of the movie. They should have swapped it with the post credits scene.
STILL this was another hugely enjoyable Marvel movie and there's definitely room for a Thor 3.

I have just bought a Pinnacle Evolution 1, feels like a good bike and something that could last me for quite some time (better than my Halfords special did anyway!).
My question is how easy is it to upgrade (over-time) to a better spec, and would I really feel the difference?
At the moment it has a set of Deore Derailleurs (3 front and 9 back). How easy would it be at some point in the future to switch to the XT variants, and would it really make a difference? (could I do this myself).
Also, what other things are easy to upgrade that would give me a better ride/feel?
I commute 20 miles a day so I have switched to a nice set of road tires on this.

Wheel Bearing Question
:att: I changed the caliper and brakes on the drivers side of my ram the other day and when I mounted the tire I noticed when it was tightened it wobbled in and out. I removed the tire and checked the items I changed and remounted the tire. It is still moving when tightened. Any suggestions? Someone said it could be the wheel bearing. Help!!
If you have play in it I would say you have a bad bearing. Do you hear unusual noise when spinning the tire?
no noise when spinning freehand.
Definitely a wheel bearing, and luckily enough not a real complicated swap out if there's not too much rust.
I agree. Sounds like a wheel bearing. They're about $130 and an easy install. Only "special" tool you'll need is a 1 11/16" socket for the hub nut if you have a 4wd.
Going down a wide, untravelled road, 60 or 70 MPH, see if truck growls when you lean the steering wheel a little to the left, or a little to the right. if the truck growls a little in either direction, you have a wheel bearing problem. left turn growl is a right wheel bearing replacement due, right turn growl is a left wheel bearing replacement. both direction growl, and you're due a double. That 1 11/16 socket may need shaving down a little, mines a 'performance tool' brand, and I had to shave the wall thicness down a little to fit in the hole to remove the spindle nut. Dodge has Ford and Chev beat in ease of replacement, biggest pain to me was separating the hub from the brake dirt shield, without destroying the dirt shield. I use a burp gun with a very tapered on one side only chisel, and work my way around several times, it'll come. check and change if necessary, your axle joints while you've got it apart! (this is all based on 4wd) I seem to remember the spindle nut as being 170 foot lbs.

text: DNC Hobby Lobby Ruling Is Key To N.H. Dems Midterm Election Strategy By Emily Corwin • Jul 15, 2014 Emily Corwin for NHPR Top Democrats rallied volunteers and worked the phones Monday in Portsmouth. Their goal was to call attention to the US Supreme Court's "Hobby Lobby" ruling, which found a closely held company could not be forced to pay for all birth control procedures required by the Affordable Care Act. Democrats hope Supreme Court rulings like the Hobby Lobby and the striking down of Massachusetts's abortion clinic buffer zone law will motivate women voters, helping the party overcome certain challenges. New Hampshire Democrats talk about the DNC By Laura Knoy • Sep 6, 2012 Today we talk to a roundtable of New Hampshire Democrats attending their party's convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.

We should probably just go ahead change our name to Dirt & Rubber already, as A&R is on an off-road kick today. We've shown our fair share of slow-motion MotoGP videos from our friends at Red Bull, and today the brand that gives you wings has a treat for you dirt bike enthusiasts. Incorporating some great dirt track shots with James "Bubba" Stewart talking about the basic theories of motorcross racing, Red Bull has a nice little promo video here for Bubba and the Yamaha squad. Learning patented tips like "turn the bike like no other and get it done," and "the Bubba scrub" we expect our street-leaning selves to be riding at JS7's level in no time at all. Video goodness after the jump, and be sure to note the slow-mo exhaust puffs at the 1:50 time marker.
Staying fit during the off-season is critical for any serious motorcycle racer. At the pinnacle of the sport, the off-season raises the stakes even higher as MotoGP riders are differentiated only by minute ticks on a very exacting scale of talent. Keeping one's body and mind ready for battle is only part of the equation though, and we often see the top riders cross-training with a variety of sports, most notably off-road riding. Of course, with the added pressure to continue training hard in the off-season, there is bound to be accidents and injuries.
Nicky Hayden was caught out last week, as the American broke his shoulder and ribs during an indoor flat-tracking training accident. And this week, the off-season has claimed Monster Tech 3 rider Andrea Dovizioso, as the Italian broke his collarbone while training on his dirt bike. Though the full extent of Dovi's injuries are not yet known (Tech 3 was between press officers the last we heard), it is expected that the Yamaha rider will be fit enough for MotoGP's second off-season test January 31st at Sepang.
The writing has been on the wall for sometime now, as the entire electric motorcycle community has been waiting for a major OEM to debut its own electric motorcycle. Answering that call, KTM unveiled at EICMA today the new 2012 KTM Freeride E. Saying that as the leading off-road motorcycle manufacturer (KTM accounts for about 50% of the worldwide dirt bike market), the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer could not afford to sit idly by while other companies innovated in its space.
Built along the Freeride's ride anywhere mantra, the KTM Freeride E comes with 2.1kWh of battery power on-board, and is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor. With a rated output of 10hp, KTM says the electric motor is good for 30hp peak, with a maximum of 300 Volts going through the system. Helped by its small battery size, the Freeride E weighs only 204 lbs and can be recharged off a 220V socket in 90 minutes. As for range, KTM has an interesting rating system for the electric Freeride, quoting a 20 minute ride time in the hands of a professional, while the KTM Freeride E is rated to last 45 minutes in the hands of an amateur.
Taking the "anti-lock brakes don't work off-road" mentality head-on, Husqvarna has debuted an anti-lock braking system (ABS) package designed specifically for off-road use. Derived from BMW's extensive experience with the technology (BMW Motorrad was the first OEM to fit ABS to a production motorcycle), Husqvarna has taken the lessons learned by its German parent company, specifically BMW's Race ABS from the S1000RR superbike, and adapted the technology for its dirt models for off-road racing.
Continuing to prove our "electronics are the new horsepower" hypothesis and fitting the flagship Husqvarna TE 449 with the new off-road ABS technology, Husqvarna hopes to make a statement not only about the use of ABS in off-street conditions, but is taking things a step further by putting anti-lock brakes on a race-bred dirt bike. The key to the off-road ABS technology from Husqvarna is two-fold. First, Husqvarna's dual-channel ABS still allows for the rear tire to be locked-up while under heavy braking (this can also be achieved on the S1000RR's ABS package under the "slick" mode setting). Second, the system, like its road-going counterpart, is extremely light, and only adds 1.5kg (3.3 lbs) of weight to the bike.
As we reported back in March, KTM's electric dirt bike is coming closer and closer to being ready for consumers, and now information has come out that it will be a 2012 model from the Austrian company. This information is in-line with a November EICMA debut that we've been hearing, but perhaps the most tantalizing news we've heard is the bike's sub-€10,000 price tag in the EU. This would put the KTM Freeride (oh man, we hope that name gets changed) directly in competition with Swiss electric dirt bike manufacturer Quantya and American electric motorcycle manufacturer Zero Motorcycles, both of whom are in the sub-€10,000 category with their dirt bike offerings.
Out of all of the industrial design firms that dabble in the motorcycle industry, it has to be the angularly inclined folks at Kiska who we admire the most. Responsible for more than their fair share of "Ready to Race" motorcycles and cars, the Austrian firm has brought us favorites like the KTM RC8 Superbike, KTM Crossbow track car, and the recently debuted KTM 125 Duke street bike.
Helping KTM spruce up its 2012 line of dirt machines, we're digging the chrome on white color scheme…and we're not even dirt bike guys. To describe the work in the words of Paris Hilton: "that's hot" and you can check out more of the 2012 after the jump.
A part of Brammo's announcement that it will be entering the electric dirt bike scene, the Brammo Engage is the cornerstone of the Ashland, Oregon company's off-road line. Featuring the S.M.R.E. designed Integrated Electronic Transmission (IET), Brammo is not only getting into the dirt bike and supermoto scene with the Engage (going squarely after players like Zero and Quantya), but is raising the ante by offering a six-speed transmission specifically designed for electric motors.
Details and specifics are still coming together about the Brammo Engage, and even the photos given to the press are of pre-production machines that are based-off S.M.R.E. prototypes. However, early speculation is that the IET system will also feature regenerative braking, another first for the Oregonian company. Photos, video, and more after the jump.
Brammo Launches Dirt Bike Product Line – Features Integrated Electronic Transmission (IET)
Well it didn't take us long to get to the bottom of the reason as to why Brammo will be racing at the AMA Mini Moto SX in Las Vegas this week, as we speculated the Ashland-based company has got dirt bikes on the mind, and today is launching its dirt/supermoto line of electric motorcycles. Debuting with the full-sized Brammo Engage MX & Supermoto, along with the Brammo Encite MMX mini moto, Brammo has a robust off-road offering to its name now.
Behind the new product launch is another big step in the electric motorcycle industry, as the Oregonian company is debuting its new Brammo Engage and Brammo Encite motorcycles with an Integrated Electronic Transmission (IET). Developed by Italian engineering firm S.M.R.E., the IET is basically a six-speed gearbox designed specifically for use on electric motorcycles, and should help lure current ICE rides to the dark side of electrification. With today's news, we think someone just put Zero Motorcycles on notice.
There you are, riding your dirt bike through the grocery store with reckless abandon, and just as you are bout to weave through the aisles and head for the sliding-door exit, the darn thing doesn't open in time, and you go crashing into it. You'd think in modern society we could make automated sliding glass doors in supermarkets that can pick up punk kids riding their two-wheelers through the market, but we can't, and the world is the lesser for it.
While we wait for this pressing technological breakthrough to occur, here comes a video of a kid in Australia who had just this very same problem. We don't really know the "why" but we've got a pretty good glimpse at the "how" in this story, and we're pretty sure he'll be ground well into his next lifetime.
When will the first true electric motorcycle from an large OEM hit dealer floors? Pretty soon by what we're hearing come out of Austria lately. KTM's Freeride is fairly straight-forward in concept, as it takes the tried and true KTM off-road package, and puts an electrical drive train inside it (easy enough, right?). Designed with help from Austrian firm Kiska, the KTM Freeride looks like a dirt bike, smells like a dirt bike…well, you get the idea.
While KTM Freeride concept has reportedly been more than peppy during testing, it's big drawback during development has always been its battery life. That's apparently about to change, as KTM's lastest version has reportedly more power on-board (there's been tremendous amounts of progress in battery density in just the past six months), and is set to come out later this year (we'd assume an EICMA launch in November).

As to the quoted except above; exactly my point. Create a sentence that if read in a casual way sounds great. Wow, 20%! Then once you drill down and jump through all the hoops you find out what the real discount is.
In the case of your film purchase and your tripods (nice stuff by the way) it turns out to be 20%. But I did a little experiment and searched for a few other film/chemistry related purchases and they were often in the 1% to 3% range. Not even enough to cover shipping and handling charges.
Yes, money is money but I'd rather not be Microsoft's banker and loan them money for 60 days and they only pay me 1% or 3% or some other pittance. They get to use the 60 day float to try and make up the cost of the rebate by selling you other stuff and collecting fees for the slew of directed advertising. I'm going to be monitoring the spam logs on the email account I used for the sign-up. To satisfy my curiosity of course.
I do fill out the little rebate forms and I keep photo copies and mark a calendar X days into the future. And now that lots of mail-in rebates also have a web site for "tracking" the status I ping those too.
For the most part, rebates work and I will in all honesty use live search but only in an attempt to save a little money. But not as a primary search method.
If you get your rebate before the 60 days, will you use it to buy us all a box of donuts?

Celebrity Poets
- Photo: Retna Digital1 of 15
By Barbara Card Atkinson
Back in 1996, when artistic integrity meant something and Garth Brooks turned down an American Music Award because he thought Hootie and the Blowfish had made the bigger contribution that year to the arts, the Academy of American Poets declared April Poetry Month. Poetry, like music, crossed cultural and emotional boundaries. It connected us to the author with a mere handful of carefully chosen words. Who better to stir these intimate emotions; who better to whip up this zesty plate of word magic than celebrities? Celebrity poetry is moving. It's transformative. It's as delicious as Cheetos. And best of all, it's often totally weird. Here are our top choices for the poets better known for (and, for the most part, rightly so) their day jobs.

Getting there
If you are staying at a Riviera Maya resort, they'll do their level best to book you onto a bus tour. As those fall, for me, into the same category as a tot with a very runny nose (to be avoided at all costs) we got there the way many of the locals do: on a colectivo. These little vans scoot up and down Highway 307 between Cancun and Playa del Carmen and Playa and Tulum from about 5:00 AM - 10:00 PM every day, are ridiculously cheap, air-conditioned and comfortable.
Getting yourself onto one is very easy: go stand by the highway - on the side of the direction you want to go - and wait a few minutes. The drivers will be looking for passengers, and if they have room for more they'll flash their lights to signal that they've seen you. Wave your arms to let 'em know you want to get on. The van will pull over, and you tell them where you want to go; in this case, Ruinas Tulum.
Get in and enjoy the ride. Sometimes they'll ask for payment at the same time you climb on and sometimes when you get off.
We paid about 30 pesos pp (about $2.27 U.S.) from our Riviera Maya hotel to Tulum, and about 35 ($2.60) to Playa del Carmen. The rates could obviously change or be more/less depending on distance between locations but whatever; a cab is going to cost you a LOT more.
Some good stuff to know:
• If you see one coming but lights aren't flashing and it doesn't slow, it's full. This is not uncommon during rush hours when a lot of locals are going/coming from work. Just be patient and wait for the next one, and/or try not to travel around 7-8:00 in the morning and 5:00 in the afternoon.
• You should keep an eye out for the stop you want and alert the driver when you see it coming. Tulum is pretty easy, though, as there are very likely going to be others on the van who want to get off there. Just be sure to get off at the ruins (Ruinas Tulum) as there's another stop in the town of Tulum. To head back after your visit, just return to the same stop; chances are that there will be multiple vans lined up and ready to take on passengers.
• Yes, other tourists DO use them: there were only a couple of locals on our ride into Playa. Other trips, though, we were the only tourists - which was actually more fun. Chattiness is to be avoided but people are friendly, and smiles are welcome.
• They like to pack these things full so you may end up on a narrow perch beside the driver or a small jump seat in back. At major loading points - like Tulum - they'll wait until they have a full load before departing the stop so if you're first in, you could sit there a bit.
• There will be multiple stops - either scheduled, or to pick up highway riders - but they move it along pretty fast
• DO pay in pesos, and try to use coins/small bills. They may not be able to make change for large bills.
• Tipping the driver isn't necessary but it's a nice thing to add a little extra if you appreciate the service. We did, either in pesos or U.S. dollars.
• DON'T use the colectivos if carrying large items- if it won't fit on your lap, don't bring it - and don't get in wearing wet clothes or swimsuits
• If coming to Tulum from Cancun, you'll need to change colectivos at the stop in Playa del Carmen

Getting there and around by bus
There are plenty of buses that head to Valladolid, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Coba, and many other places in the Yucatan peninsula. There are two bus stations: one for immediate cities/towns around the Mayan Riviera coast, and the other for inland destinations such as Valladolid.

Cheap and fun
To reach Tulum it's easy. You can take a bus or a taxi from Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Otherwise you can easily find a lift waiting on the main road. There are many buses that run through the Riviera Maya from Cancun to Tulum. Surely they'll stop when see you make a wave. This can be cheap and fun!
Bus to Tulum
To reach Tulum, you will have to take the ferry from Cozumel or a bus from Cancun, to Playa del Carmen. The bus terminal is easy to find within a couple short blocks from the municipal pier. Check the schedule, if you can, ahead of time, because there are only a few buses each day. Fare is cheap. Bus is definitely the preferred way to go. If you should find yourself short on time and opt to rent a car, stick with the major rental companies and if possible drive the type of car you're familiar with. Car rentals are relatively expensive, and may not prove to be reliable.

It wasn't like her declaration of love for Akira should have changed anything. Sure, they'd been close friends for a while. They shared nearly everything. But she said herself, she would never do anything that made her uncomfortable. So why was it awkward? Why haven't they spent the night at each others houses for some time? Fumi caught onto what appeared to be a silent treatment, and came to the conclusion that though Ah-chan said she didn't mind, she secretly was disgusted with Fumi.
Why else would they stop being so familiar with one another?
The speculation that her closest friend despised her made her eyes turn acerbic, and would often cause her to tear up during classes. It's been haunting her for nearly two weeks now, and something had to be done eventually. She has to confront Ah-chan again to clear things up. Selfishly enough, Fumi felt that their friendship isn't worth it if Ah-chan didn't want part of it…
Hardly sleeping at all Sunday night, Fumi ended up being late to the train station, leaving her hair down as she found no time to do it up. It was a cold morning, expected though, as it was a little over half way through winter. However only about 10 minutes late, there was still a waiting period of about 20 more due to the train tracks being affected by last nights lake effect. After about 13 minutes of waiting, Ah-chan showed up, with he usual bright and cheerful greeting.
"Ohayo, Fumi-chan!" Akira parked herself next to her friend, her nose pink from having to switch between a brisk walk and a jog to get here in time. Her brothers car wouldn't start, also due to last nights weather.
"O-ohayo, Ah-chan.." Fumi returned the formality. Stuttering because she was either nervous or the cold was actually getting to her. A few moments passed before she formulated her question well enough.
"Aaa…Ah-chan, are you…busy after school today?"
Akira exchanged a look of surprise with something more calm and smiled. "Nope."
Fumi expected the opposite, but was slightly pleased with her answer. "Oh, then would you mind coming home…with me?" Fortunately for her, the cold weather could be a reason for the blush on her face, which it wasn't. Akira nodded pleasantly and shivered a bit. The train pulled into the station and the rest of the day dragged on. Clubs after school were cancelled due to the recent snow storm warnings' being issued on TV's and radios. And the ride back took longer as it was snowing throughout the school day.
Fumi tried her best to keep a normal composure about Ah-chan, conversation seemed like the usual, and nothing awkward came up. Fumi questioned whether she should really interrogate Ah-chan over something as small as why they don't have sleepovers anymore. But if she didn't, she'd have little chance at being herself any time soon.
The time came when they arrived at the Manjoume residence. Fumi exchanged little interactions with her mother, as Chizu and her husband were there, making it distressing and awkward considering Ah-chan now knew about Fumi's past relationship with her. How they used to have sex on occasion. Fumi and Akira only spent a few minutes in the kitchen to fetch some hot chocolate before retiring upstairs to Fumi's bedroom.
After exchanging whatever meager conversations they had hovering in their minds, there was silence, and more silence. Fumi traced the circular formation of her mug with her index finger, awkwardly glancing around, meeting Akira's expectant gaze, as if she knew what was coming. Her eyes, Ah-chan's eyes, their beautiful dark color made Fumi lightheaded whenever they met her own green optics.
A few more minutes, and Akira leaned closer a bit, though a table still between them, Fumi could tell she was going to press her for answers.
"Fumi-chan, I have a sinking suspicion that you didn't just have me over for light conversation today…" She spoke in a depleted tone. In Akira's mindset, the reoccurring thought that the girl downstairs, Fumi-chan's cousin, actually had sex with her best friend, while she herself had never even dated...
Does Fumi ever have thoughts? Thoughts about doing those things with me? Touching, kissing, and…
She did her best to exterminate the filthy deliberations. She simply watched Fumi as she furrowed her brows into a less vibrant setting. Fumi fumbled with her answer. How is she supposed to respond to such a blunt assumption? While Ah-chan was right about her hidden intentions, she wasn't as prepared as she thought for this.
"We don't…spend as much time with each other…as we used to." Fumi paused, looking down at her hot chocolate, still full and room temperature. "Like, we don't spend the night at each others houses, and—" She couldn't go on, she already felt the stupid tears welling up in her eyes and had to remove her glasses to wipe them away before they could travel freely down her face.
Akira awkwardly smiled. She dug into her pocket, withdrawing the familiar handkerchief before worming her way around the table to her best friend. Handing over the cloth, Fumi had a hard time accepting it this time for some reason. As if she'd never be able to return it, because Ah-chan might finally reject her and leave, forever, but she was there, even after her 10 minute sob fest.
"…A-are you disgusted with me, Ah-chan?" She sniffled a bit and ran the cloth under her eyes every so often, trying her best to control the waterworks in her face, but to no avail.
"Of course not, Fumi-chan. I was just…trying to give you some space, since…I thought you were just…confused?" It seemed hard to choose her words, since truthfully she didn't know why they weren't having sleepovers anymore. She didn't see a reason. A clear one anyway.
"Are you sure?" For some reason, Fumi found it hard to believe that Ah-chan wasn't a least a little uneasy with her.
"Absolutely." She smiled undauntedly. "But if you don't believe, I'll stay over tonight."
Fumi half smiled. This wasn't enough for Akira, however.
"And the night after that, and the night after that, and the whole week. Maybe I should just live with you then." Akira prodded Fumi in the stomach teasingly, in an attempt to clear the misunderstanding, and make her smile more, which worked.
"You don't have to stay, I was just—"
"I'm staying." Akira pointed out as a matter-of-factly. She grinned and took Fumi's now cold hot chocolate and attempted finishing it but ended up choking half way through. After coughing for what seemed an eternity on Akira's end, Fumi couldn't be more convinced that their friendship wasn't in jeopardy, and she was just…paranoid. They shared cheerful laughter as Ah-chan wiped away the chocolately substance from the bit that got on her school uniform.
A knock. Apparently Chizu had been watching for a bit as she leaned against the door frame, smiling. It wasn't smug, nor challenging, just genuine. Fumi went silent, alone with Akira. Fumi had a clear reason, but Akira couldn't quite place her finger on her basis. This girl. Fumi's cousin. Was recently married, and it caused such devastation to Fumi. At the time, she didn't know the deep seeded reason behind it, and now that she did know, it was all too awkward.
"I'm heading home now, Fumi-chan." Chizu's voice ringed. All Fumi could muster was a nod, and an awkward silence that followed. "You two stay out of trouble, now." Smiling, she was gone. What did she mean by 'Stay out of trouble?' Did she think they were…together? The two waited until they knew she was down stairs before resuming any form of conversation.
"Ne, Fumi-chan, do you have clothes I can borrow for tonight?" She cautiously sipped on the cold hot chocolate, not wanting another fit.
"Aaa, aa…yes." Fumi blushed slightly before getting up and rummaging through her dresser. Withdrawing a plain, pastel blue t-shirt and white sleeper pants, she turned to give them to Ah-chan, only to be caught off guard. She was already removing her shirt. It shouldn't be a big deal, since she was wearing a tanktop underneath, but she couldn't help but feel hot in her face. And selfishly, she was dropped her shirt on the floor, accepting the new one from Fumi and putting it on. It was longer on her, because of the height difference, but she didn't complain.
Akira was about to remove the other component to her school uniform when it occurred that it might be different now that…well…
She looked at Fumi questioningly, who was slightly red in the face. They never had a problem getting undressed in front of each other in the past, but should she be more cautious now…?

I just got an older frame powder coated. The shop that I took it to doesn't specialize in bikes. They mainly do industrial grade powder coating and perhaps a car wheel here and there, so I wouldn't consider them the most knowledgeable people when it comes to handling frames. The frame is lugged steel. Could the heating process influence the frame's integrity?
No, 400F will not affect frame integrity.

I haven't owned a bike since I was 10 yrs old but I went through a phase with "pegs," my friend upgraded to a Haro (and I went to team sports), I've seen the movie "Rad" a hundred times (huge part of my youth!) and I'm 32 so I recall when a "10-speed" was synonymous with road bike.
I don't want a road bike. I don't want a mountain bike. I have serious mtn bike friends and road riders and all say don't buy a hybrid.
I love the idea of a single-speed, but I don't live in the city (I live in Westchester County, NY...and it is hilly).
I've looked at the kt-22, the surly bikes, etc.
I don't know squat about specs.
I'm thinking of building a 3-speed.

sphinx / doc / concepts.rst
Sphinx concepts
Document names
Since the reST source files can have different extensions (some people like .txt, some like .rst -- the extension can be configured with :confval:`source_suffix`) and different OSes have different path separators, Sphinx abstracts them: all "document names" are relative to the :term:`documentation root`, the extension is stripped, and path separators are converted to slashes. All values, parameters and suchlike referring to "documents" expect such a document name.
The TOC tree
Since reST does not have facilities to interconnect several documents, or split documents into multiple output files, Sphinx uses a custom directive to add relations between the single files the documentation is made of, as well as tables of contents. The toctree directive is the central element.
Special names
Sphinx reserves some document names for its own use; you should not try to create documents with these names -- it will cause problems.
The special document names (and pages generated for them) are:
genindex, modindex, search
These are used for the general index, the module index, and the search page, respectively.
The general index is populated with entries from modules, all index-generating :ref:`description units <desc-units>`, and from :dir:`index` directives.
The module index contains one entry per :dir:`module` directive.
every name beginning with _
Though only few such names are currently used by Sphinx, you should not create documents or document-containing directories with such names. (Using _ as a prefix for a custom template directory is fine.)
index is a special name, too, if the :confval:`html_index` config value is nonempty.

For the Optic
By Brad Turk
A delayed Christmas present for our three grandchildren was the promise of a trip to a place called Hinkle's Family Center in Albuquerque. Replete with bumper cars, bungee jumping, bumper boats, a racetrack and video games, Hinkle's must have hosted all of the Duke City on Sunday.
Even as a child, I looked forward to the warm days of summer. I wasn't a sedentary child by choice, but a bout with rheumatic fever at about age 6, left me a bit fragile and caused me to be homebound for better than half of my second grade year of school.

Nic Patrick was out for a walk in a meadow near his ranch in Wyoming when he rounded a hill and found himself face to face with a female grizzly bear. The bear, fearful for the safety of the two cubs that were with her, attacked Patrick directly in the face. The struggle was brief and one-sided, leaving Patrick alive but missing his nose and most of his right cheek.
Patrick was first treated at a nearby hospital in Cody, Wyoming, then airlifted to the University of Colorado Hospital, where Dr. Frederic Deleyiannis took on the daunting task of reconstructing Patrick's ravaged face.
The challenge facing Dr. Deleyiannis and his team was a serious one: Patrick's entire nose and most of his right cheek were completely gone, leaving little to build on. To solve this problem, Dr. Deleyiannis worked out a plan to transfer tissue and blood vessels from Patrick's back to his face. A prosthetic nose and eight additional procedures were needed to give Patrick the most natural appearance possible.
Remarkably, Patrick says he feels no bitterness toward the bear that attacked him. A longtime conservationist, he continues to advocate for the protection and preservation of the grizzly bear in Wyoming. Rather than dwelling on his misfortune, he says, he has chosen to focus on gratitude to Dr. Delyiannis and his surgical team, who gave him the chance to go on with his life.

JOHN BEGNAUD: Water now to protect plant extremities
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Temperatures above 100 are hot and nobody disagrees. Imagine being a leaf hanging out in full sun all day when it's this hot. Some plants handle it better than others, just like some people handle extreme temperatures better.
