This biography of writer/performer/cultural phenomenon Stephen Colbert is strictly for beginners. Most Colbert fans will already be familiar with the trajectory of Colbert's career (Second City, t.v. and film collaborations with Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, the Daily Show and Colbert Report), but those who are mildly curious might find some satisfaction here. Those looking for salacious detail will be disappointed. Personally, I find it refreshing to find that, unlike so many comedians and performers, Colbert seems to be a genuinely nice guy with an impressive commitment to charitable works in addition to his busy career. In this, as in so many other things, he confounds stereotypes and breaks new ground.

in response to frankfrankfrankBeing able to connect to an administration page is different from being able to stream music to the receiver. A brief perusal of google indicated that Macs are not supported. That being said, you should contact Yamaha product support. They are the only ones who will be able to give you the definitive answer and maybe some workarounds for your particular situation.

Documentation for scientific photography and video - best practices
Jul 2, 2014
We need to build a documentation sheet for photos and videos taken in labratory, outdoor, and and impromptu scientific experiment settings. Does anyone know of the "best practices" for doing so? I have found some relevant templates in peer-reviewed papers, but would like some ideas from the knowledge I often see on DPreview.
We use cameras ranging from a G1X for stills to Phantom high speeds for video, and everything in between. Envisioning separate sheets for stills and video. Any input or available templates are much appreciated.

Streaking Nets seek Heat seat
Updated: April 3, 2006, 10:46 AM ETBy Chris Sheridan
ESPN Insider
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Striving to be second-best, the New Jersey Nets are suddenly within reach of the No. 2 seed in the East.
"Right now they're playing the best basketball of anybody in the NBA, there's no doubt," Miami coach Pat Riley conceded Sunday after New Jersey notched its 12th straight victory -- one shy of the longest winning streak in the league this season -- by knocking off the Heat 90-78.

Celebrating the release of its 9th CD, No Walls/A Christmas Concert (Aardmuse label), the CD features carols from around the world and Mark Harvey's piece No Walls, a tribute to Doctors Without Borders. The CD is available now!
Wednesday, October 3, 2012, at 8:00 pm Scullers Jazz Club Doubletree Guest Suites, 400 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, MA
The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, one of the longest running large jazz ensembles in North America, opened its 40th season at Scullers on October 3rd with an exhilarating show spanning the Aardvark spectrum, from originals by director Mark Harvey to music from the Basie, Ellington, and Woody Herman bands.
The show celebrated the release of Aardvark's 11th CD, Evocations, on Leo Records (UK), one of the world's leading adventurous music labels. Selections from the new disc (spirited composition and inspired playing - Jazz Alchemist, Poland) included Mark Harvey's Rascals and Scoundrels.
Aardvark vocalists Jerry Edwards and Grace Hughes were spotlighted in Basie's Every Day I Have the Blues and Ellingtons Tell Me It's the Truth.
Also on tap: Harvey's Cantata Tubulidentata (The Song of the Aardvarks, honoring the band's 40-year mark) and the lush Early Autumn by Newton native Ralph Burns, a late-1940s hit for Woody Herman.
Other highlights of the 2012-2103 season include Aardvarks 40th Annual Christmas Concert at Emmanuel Church Boston on December 15, and the world premiere of Harvey's Boston JazzScape (10 years in the making) at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts on March 8.

Are you about to mindlessly or habitually or emotionally eat?
We have all used food as a way to cope with stress at one time or another. There will never be a totally stress-free time in your life. The key is to identify the things that are making you feel pressured, sad, angry, or anxious.
It's time to begin establishing Healthy Patterns
Now you have different methods for identifying, acknowledging, and bringing to the surface the emotions that have sabotaged you in the past. Find some activities or hobbies that comfort and interest you so that you don't have to resort to food.
Stop Eating out of Boredom!
Boredom is one of the most common causes of overeating. SO many of us are drawn to the fridge or pantry the minute we have some downtime. But if you eat because you can't find anything else to do, then you're sabotaging yourself.
There is some good news here though!

Thread: Lady Gaga Concert
So I'm going to see lady gaga in a few months with a girl from work and her best mate and his boyfriend!
They're all wearing fancy dress as I imagine most people there will be! I'd say I'm a fairly confident guy but I can't say fetish wear is my clothing of choice.
Have any of you guys or girls been to a concert? I'd really appreciate some recommendations...
Thanks!! :-)
I have heard from friends that she really puts on a very good show. Hope you enjoy it.
OMG! I'm so jealous. Grab a few sirloin steaks and slap them on, U'll be fine lol
Just dress comfortably, as you normally would for such an event, and smell good. You'll be a standout.
Wear some Kouros for the crowd. If Gaga decides to crowd surf and comes near you, spray her too.
Top 5 (random order):
1. Creed Aventus
2. L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme
3. Le Labo Rose 31
4. Terre D'Hermes EdT
5. YSL Rive Gauche
dress up pretty nicely(club attire), and pick out a good fragrance. the ladies will love it
You poor thing
I saw there shows many time nd every time i really enjoyed.
dress up as an egg with feathers and tight seaquin pants, to fit the occasion.
and kouros is your best bet

MainStreet shares goalsPublished 12:12pm Friday, January 25, 2013
MainStreet Alexander City Director Richard Wagoner shared the organization's long-term and short-term goals for the city with council members Tuesday night.
Wagoner focused on four projects MainStreet is tackling in the next year and stressed the importance of the revitalization of downtown in order to strengthen the community as a whole.
"This town and this community are vital to the existence of that lake," Wagoner said. "We've got to provide the services there and the businesses there."
Wagoner said the first focus of MainStreet is to encourage retiree attraction and relocation.
"In the late 1990s, Alexander City went through the dismantling of a Fortune 500 company, Russell Corporation. I use that term (Fortune 500 company) for a reason," Wagoner said. "We didn't just lose 7,000 manufacturing jobs. What we lost was a hierarchy of individuals who were leaders in our community, members of our churches, members of our civic groups and service clubs, donors to the United Way, donors to MainStreet, donors to the chamber, taxpayers – we lost that income."
Wagoner said that between 1990 and 2000, Alexander City lost 25 percent of its population between 0 and 44 years of age.
"But we grew 29 percent in our population age 45 and up," Wagoner said. "People say, 'Do we want to become a retirement community?' But we are becoming a retirement community already in many ways. We feel if we can go out and try to attract 500 or 1,000 retiring couples to this community, then we can grow, and they bring $100,000 each in expendable income.
"That's the retiree of today – they are baby boomers," Wagoner continued. "We're a different category. We're not retired at 62 or 65 anymore. We're still working and very active – involved in our churches and service clubs."
Assets of the area, Wagoner said, include our medical facilities, continuing education opportunities, large body of water for recreation and other recreational opportunities, short distances to major metro areas, mild climate, scenic beauty, reasonable cost of living and safe, quiet neighborhoods.
Wagoner said retiree attraction is an economic development model because the retirees will increase consumer spending and demand for local goods and services, which could in turn create an economic boon for businesses.
"We're not saying this replaces any traditional economic strategy – it's just another tool in our tool box," Wagoner said.
The second focused project of MainStreet, Wagoner said, is to create uniformity in streetscaping of major entrances to the city.
Wagoner said this project would have to be ongoing, and in order for it to be successful, the city must pay attention to detail, have the private and public sectors buy into the concept, have a coordinated effort between the city and private property owners, focus on the entire community instead of just downtown and to create a plan of action.
Wagoner recommended the project begin downtown and then work its way outward, using comprehensive landscaping and beautifying efforts to rid the city of unsightly, unkempt areas.
"When we talk about streetscaping, that's landscaping, that's signage, that's furniture – that's everything that goes throughout the town," Wagoner said. "We never know who's going to drive into town and what's going to turn around and make them leave.
"Sometimes we don't see the ugly – we see it so much every day that we don't pay attention to it. But it's there, and other people do pay attention to it," Wagoner continued.
Wagoner said he met one family from Atlanta that visits the farmer's market in the summers while they vacation at their second home on Lake Martin. When speaking with the father, Wagoner asked how the family typically drives into town from the lake, and the father responded that they drive over the River Bridge, turning onto Dadeville Road and using Cherokee Road to come into the downtown area.
"I asked, 'When you come down Cherokee (Road), what do you see?' And he said one word: 'Failure,'" Wagoner said. "That's harsh. It was harsh for me to hear. But we've got to open our eyes and see what other people are seeing when they see our community."
MainStreet's third project is to "develop an entrepreneurial incubator for the development of manufacturing and marketing local food products through funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission."
Wagoner suggested representatives of MainStreet, the city, the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance and the Chamber of Commerce visit Shoals Culinary Center in Florence and then work to develop a commercial kitchen that can be rented to produce goods. The facility would also provide packaging for local goods, which can then in turn be sold in local stores.
"We need to go after funding to make this happen," Wagoner said. "The next thing is to take a downtown location and make it the location to get these all these different food products created right here by our own people."
Wagoner also discussed cosmetic changes downtown on Calhoun Street in conjunction with the Alabama Department of Transportation and NorFolk Southern Railroad, which will include resurfacing, re-stripping parking places, removal of all concrete, closing the crossing in front of the Riley Building, adding two new planting beds, replacing the existing trees, removing existing traffic signals and overhead wire and replacing that wire with decorative traffic signals and underground wiring.
Wagoner also reviewed MainStreet's multiple projects and sponsored activities throughout the year, noting that MainStreet invested $37,476 in contributions through exterior building improvements, landscape improvements, Christmas decorations, website development and entrance signs in 2012.
Council members thanked Wagoner and MainStreet for their continued efforts to improve the community.
"I think it is tantamount of us to market downtown. Downtown Alex City has to become a destination," said District 5 Councilman Jim Spann. "I appreciate the work you have done on the buildings. It makes a world of difference on the way things look. You move a mountain one shovelful at the time … so we've got to start moving the mountain a little bit along."

Could changes in reported sex ratios at birth during China's 1958-1961 famine support the adaptive sex ratio adjustment hypothesis?

|China, famine, sex ratio at birth
Background: The adaptive sex ratio adjustment hypothesis suggests that when mothers are in poor conditions the sex ratio of their offspring will be biased towards females. Major famines provide opportunities for testing this hypothesis because they lead to the widespread deterioration of living conditions in the affected population.
Objective: This study examines changes in sex ratio at birth before, during, and after China's 1958-1961 famine, to see whether they provide any support for the adaptive sex ratio adjustment hypothesis.
Methods: We use descriptive statistics to analyse data collected by both China's 1982 and 1988 fertility sample surveys and examine changes in sex ratio at birth in recent history. In addition, we examine the effectiveness of using different methods to model changes in sex ratio at birth and compare their differences.
Results: During China's 1958-1961 famine, reported sex ratio at birth remained notably higher than that observed in most countries in the world. The timing of the decline in sex ratio at birth did not coincide with the timing of the famine. After the famine, although living conditions were considerably improved, the sex ratio at birth was not higher but lower than that recorded during the famine.
Conclusions: The analysis of the data collected by the two fertility surveys has found no evidence that changes in sex ratio at birth during China's 1958-1961 famine and the post-famine period supported the adaptive sex ratio adjustment hypothesis.

Installation Instructions
.. :authors: Bill Bumgarner, Ronald Oussoren, Bob Ippolito
Building the package
PyObjC is built and installed using the distutils package included with Python
2.0 and beyond. distutils provides a single interface for building and
packaging the PyObjC via a ``setup.py`` script. To see usage documentation
for ``setup.py``, issue the ``--help`` command::
% python setup.py --help
To see an inventory of building and packaging commands, issue the
% python setup.py --help-commands
The following command will build and install the PyObjC package::
% python setup.py install
The setup.py system can also be used to create source and binary
distribution archives automatically.
The following command will build and open a binary installer for PyObjC,
py2app, tools, examples, and documentation::
% python setup.py bdist_mpkg --open
If you want to install the PyObjC package without examples, documentation,
or py2app, you can use the standard distutils install command::
% sudo python setup.py install
If you have multiple versions of Python installed on your system, the
above will only install PyObjC for whatever version of Python is the
default on the command line. Make sure you are installing PyObjC
against the correct version of Python.
Note that there is a known bug in Python 2.3.0
(as shipped with Mac OS X 10.3.x), such that when another framework Python is
installed it will not link extensions (such as PyObjC) properly, rendering them
unusable. If you intend to build PyObjC for Python 2.3.0, ensure that no other
framework Python is installed, such as a previous installation for Mac OS X
10.2. For more information on this and other Python issues on Mac OS X,
please refer to the `pythonmac.org FAQ`_.
.. _`pythonmac.org FAQ`: http://pythonmac.org/wiki/FAQ
If you have a previous version of PyObjC installed, you may see an exception
such as ``Wrong version of PyObjC C API``. If this happens, you should
delete any previous installation of PyObjC and the build folder in your
new sources and try again. PyObjC will typically be installed to a folder
of the same name in /Library/Python/2.3 or /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages.
To be able to build the wrappers for the WebKit framework (included with
Safari 1.0) on Mac OS X 10.2, you'll have to install the WebKit SDK. You can
download this from the `ADC website <http://connect.apple.com>`_.
PyObjC has limited support for `GNUstep`_. See `Doc/gnustep.txt`_ for
more information.
.. _GNUstep: http://www.gnustep.org/
.. _`Doc/gnustep.txt`: Doc/gnustep.html
The `examples directory`_ contains a number of projects that demonstrate
various features of the PyObjC bridge. The scripts at the top level of
the `examples directory`_ were mostly written to test a particular
feature of the bridge (or document a bug until a fix could be found).
.. _`examples directory`: Examples/00ReadMe.html
CurrencyConverter and TableModel are both examples of standalone
Cocoa-Python applications. To build and execute::
% cd TableModel
% python setup.py py2app
% open dist/TableModel.app
For projects that contain a Project Builder (.pbproj), you can build them
with Project Builder or Xcode. Xcode (.xcode) projects can be built only
with Xcode. However, all examples ship with a py2app-based setup.py, and
this is the preferred build method.
Project Templates
Xcode on Mac OS X 10.3
The ``Xcode`` directory contains some file and project that make it easier to
work with Python and PyObjC when using `Xcode`__.
.. __: http://www.apple.com/xcode
Copy the templates in ``Xcode/File templates`` to ``/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/File Templates``. Copy the templates in ``Xcode/Project Templates`` to ``/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Project Templates``.
There are two project templates:
* Cocoa-Python Application
A project created from this template is designed to implement standalone,
pure-Python, applications that are compatible with Apple's build of Python as
well as all other builds of python that support PyObjC.
When building the 'install' target, the resulting application wrapper will
include the PyObjC package and can be launched on any stock OS X 10.3 system
without requiring PyObjC to be preinstalled.
Note that the optional 'BSD Subsystem' component of Mac OS X is required,
however it is installed by default and should be present on most systems.
* Cocoa-Python Document-based Application
This template works like the Cocoa-Python Application template in that it
is compatible with the Apple build of Python. It creates an application
that uses Cocoa's Multiple Document Architecture in the same fashion as the
default Cocoa Document-based Application supplied with Project Builder.
Note that Python applications built on Mac OS X 10.3 are not compatible with
Mac OS X 10.2. At this time, a Mac OS X 10.2 system must be used to build
Mac OS X 10.2 compatible applications.
Project Builder on Mac OS X 10.2
The ``ProjectBuilder Extras`` directory contains additional files that can
be used with Project Builder. The directory ``Specifications`` contains files
that enable syntax coloring for Python files in Project Builder.
The ``Project Templates`` directory contains project templates for
Project Builder. These have to be copied to
``/Developer/ProjectBuilder Extras/Project Templates/Application`` before
they are useable from Project Builder.
There are three templates available:
* Cocoa-Python Application
A project created from this template is designed to implement standalone,
pure-Python, applications that are compatible with Apple's build of Python as
well as all other builds of python that support PyObjC.
When building the 'install' target, the resulting application wrapper will
include the PyObjC module and can be launched on any stock OS X 10.2 system
without requiring PyObjC to be preinstalled.
* Cocoa-Python-ObjC Application
A project created from this template includes an embedded framework project
into which all compiled (Objective-C) code can be placed. Upon launch,
the application automatically dynamically loads the embedded framework
containing the compiled code.
Each Framework's Resources directory is automatically added to sys.path.
* Cocoa-Python Document-based Application
This template works like the Cocoa-Python Application template in that it
is compatible with the Apple build of Python. It creates an application
that uses Cocoa's Multiple Document Architecture in the same fashion as the
default Cocoa Document-based Application supplied with Project Builder.
More information on project templates can be found in the Project
Builder documentation and/or release notes.

When Al Filreis and Charles Bernstein founded PennSound in 2003, one of their impetuses was purely pedagogical. They wanted to make a digital audio archive of free, downloadable files of poets reading their own work and of discussions about poetics available to teachers and learners looking to parse out poetic lineages and differences.As Al Filreis explains in this 2007 podcast, PennSound is an archive for those seeking to make aesthetic connections between different poetic trends: a site of convergence for the reader (in this case, listener) and the poetic tradition. This makes PennSound a particularly useful resourse for teachers who are looking to demonstrate to their students the relationships between contemporary poetry and earlier poetic movements.
A 2008 publication, Cover without a Record, was created by students and faculty who were part of an experimental year-long seminar co-sponsored by the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing (CPCW) and the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) here at Penn. Cover without a Record works with — plays off, as it were — the then-current Christian Marclay exhibit at the ICA.
A brilliant former student, now pondering a career as a teacher, asks a few questions. I hope he will forgive me the pithy responses.
What do you think is the purpose of education?Not to teach but to enable learning. That will sometimes entail teaching, but mostly will entail other modes. These other modes are best effected in small groups (either in person or virtual, but ideally small in number). These other modes should probably not be put into practice in a classroom. Maybe, to take one possible example, in an old house.Why do you think it is important to teach?Not "important to teach," but important to be part of organizations dedicated to enabling learning. The reasons for that are obvious, I hope. Learners often (although not always) benefit from guidance when they deal with materials and with problems new to them. They also benefit from guidance when the environment (outside schools--e.g. stressed or nonfunctioning families, wartorn or poverty-stricken communities, etc.) is not otherwise conducive to thought.What strategies or methods do you think are effective?Leading discussions of problems and materials enables learning and application of lessons to other contexts and situations. Lecturing enables consumption, reinforcement of subject discipline, belief in the authority of the lecturer, and silos of intellection.
In June 1999 I and a hundred or so others (teachers, poets, poet-teachers) gathered at Bard College for a conference on the possible connection between experimental poetry and experimental pedagogy, hosted by Joan Retallack among others. There were six or seven of us from the Kelly Writers House at the conference, and on the last morning of the three-day confab (there on the slopes leading down to the eastern side of the Catskills-region Hudson River, it did at times feel like summer camp), we presented about the Writers House itself as an alternative learning community focused on poetics.Conference done. Then we promised ourselves we'd do some kind of followup in Philadelphia, and indeed did so in early 2001. Joan Retallack came down from Bard, reading some of her own poetry that seemed relevant to the theme (alt-poetry, alt-pedagogy), and then Kerry Sherin, KWH's director at the time, described a transition to the next and longer part of the program: a discussion, as a follow-up to Bard, about specific pedagogical issues and practices. There were about forty of us in the room there at the Writers House, in addition to about thirty who were tuning in by live webcast. Louis Cabri, for instance, was then in Calgary — and participated by posing some questions. Not long ago Jenny Lesser converted the old RealVideo-format recordings into audio-only mp3, which of course these days is a much more usable, portable mode.
Here's Kerry Sherin setting up the discussion, by, in part, remembering the Bard conference.Here's 9 minutes or so on experiential learning.Here's a discussion of what makes it difficult to teach experimental writing.And here's a link to the whole 2-hour audio mp3, and, for your video fans and users, still, of the Real player, here's a link to the streaming video.
A while back, in 2009, I tweeted the following:
A poet in a serious discussion yesterday used the example of 140 characters as a constraint-based poetics. He was talking about haiku, natch
The tweet in itself was precisely 140 characters. Here in the relatively spacious J2 textbox, though, it seems so bare, so minimal. In the twitter format I use (the application called "Tweetie") the full 140-character update fills the space and makes me feel downright loquacious. These new media really are our messages. You'd think I'd have discovered this before now.
Kenny Goldsmith responded to my blog entry from a while back, entitled "5-page paper on Stevens, yours for just $59.75." Here's what Kenny writes:Some time ago, you blogged about the conundrum of finding a paper mill selling an interpretation of Steven's poem "Mozart, 1935," which might have incorporated your own work on this subject into it, a remix of your own words. You say, "Is it possible that I would have been buying a hack-job remix of my own article on the poem?" You then go on to say that "I think I would have asked for reimbursement from my university-sponsored research fund for this expense. After all, it would have been research. No? How desperate would a student have to be to use one of these sites?"My answer is not desperate at all. In fact, each semester, I force my students to purchase a paper from paper mills and present it as their final project as if they wrote it themselves. Each student must stand up in front of the class and present it with such irrefutable conviction as if they themselves wrote it and truly believe every word of it. Failure to do so convincingly results in group censure from the class, and ultimately in a lower grade.The kernel of how we must teach today is embedded in your quandary. By reifying the old lines of "this is mine" and "this is not," we perpetuate myths of originality. Was your research sprung completely from your own genius? Most likely not. You sourced it from dozens of places. What is original -- and genius -- is the way you wove those sources together. But isn't that what good research always has been? It's just that the digital makes this process transparent and eminently elastic in ways that were hidden before.Marjorie Perloff has recently begun using the term "unoriginal genius" (the title of her forthcoming book on the subject) to describe a new tendency emerging in literature. Her idea is that due to changes brought on by technology and the internet, our notion of genius -- a romantic isolated figure -- is outdated. An updated notion of genius would have to center around one's mastery of information and its dissemination. Perloff has coined a term, "moving information," to signify both the act of pushing language around as well as the act of being emotionally moved by that process. She posits that today's writer resembles more a programmer than a tortured genius, brilliantly conceptualizing, constructing, executing and maintaining a writing machine.It's time to let go of notions of propriety and ownership of language, particularly in university situation where there is a subsidized economy. None of us are writing for profit -- we are subsidized by research funds and university positions -- and are thus obliged to take the most theoretically radical and experimental positions possible. Imagine if other research wings of universities such as science labs took the safe and known ways? They certainly would be upbraided for not taking chances. Why can't we do the same?- - -Now my reply to Kenny's reply:I'm sort of hoping that the parents of our students will see the $59 charge on their sons' and daughters' credit-card bill, and a discussion of this purchase will ensue. In such a conversation--I'm imagining it taking place over the Thanksgiving dinner, with Aunt Minnie and Uncle Schloime listening in--Kenny's teaching will spread like waves across the pre-postmodern generations, the tuition-paying traditionalists who thought that by sending their kids to an Ivy League school they were escaping unoriginality rather than venturing to its center.Anyway, the tone of my blog entry was all wrong, as I can see upon re-reading, and I think threw Kenny off. I find the fact of a $60 five-page paper on Wallace Stevens absurd and I'm not primarily concerned about the fate of my own academic writing in the world of digital copying. Really. I don't disagree with Kenny--as he knows--about remix. I don't fear it and I have very little concern about owning my interpretation of a poem by Wallace Stevens. It was my hook, my start on writing about the topic. Already not a fan of the grade-giving and grade-getting system of higher education (a view to which this blog amply testifies), I'm bemused by the lack of consciousness and laziness of people in that system feeling the need to pay top dollar for a dumbed-down academic remix. A little bit of work of could have produced the same (I mean even a remix) for free. You see, that's where we begin to see differences between Kenny's uncreative writing course and the paper mills he seems to favor (he doesn't really favor them--imagine him and the purveyors of such a venture in the same room!--but his position necessitates that he be annoyed by people annoyed by them). Kenny's students are (to say the least) extremely conscious of the aesthetic or anti-aesthetic (but that's still an aesthetic) of the sampling, and the violation of conventional values--a violation felt as such by the giant middle on the spectrum running from cool anti-authorial stealing to lazy pirating advantage-taking profiteers--is material for his pedagogy and their learning. He "forces" them to engage in such violation and it's the beginning of their venture into the art world. Kenny and his students, brilliant in their creative uncreativity, are doing one thing, which I admire and literally support. And his world is energized by its all being free. A gift economy thriving on the new digital world in which authorship has happily disappeard. I'm there too. But the purveyors of the paper mill have created something that is the opposite of the gift economy, and the result is an uncreative uncreativity that only very very superficially befits the world Kenny enjoys living in.To me, this is all about pedagogy and the fate of higher education. I adore the energetic, intense, resourceful (that's, by the way, another word for creative) not-lazy students who are self-consciously participating in the lazy buy-your-papers economy. I don't adore students for whom this process is a matter of sheer unselfconscious ease. The former is learning, being part of a community of learners (such as in Kenny's amazing classes), and it is always, always a rigorous uncreativity. The latter are mere corner-cutters, seeking the easy. I have little time for them. What Kenny and his students do is not easy--seems easy, but isn't. Let's make that distinction.
The very fact that audio recordings of poetry are now readily available to the classroom can be turned to a great advantage and can at least temporarily change the relationship between teacher and student. It is surely the case that when my students and I in class together listen to sound files instead of reading poem-texts, our vocabularies tend to be on the same plane. I might have a subtler response to what we're hearing, and certainly I know far more than they about the sound in literary-historical context, but they are never struck dumb by the terminology I bring to bear on the point I seek to make about the specific sound of the words, the poetics of it. The students notice this difference – between their talk about the poem on the page and their talk about the sounded or recorded poems – and their discussion of poetics generally becomes charged with it. If it is true of those who perform spoken poetry that (as David Antin has put it) 'it was my habit to record my talks / to find out what i[']d said' then similarly, the disorienting and terminologically disruptive mode I am describing is the means by which we might find out what we are teaching.
Here is an audio version of my little essay on the seminar.
Years ago Jim O'Donnell - a pioneer in internet-age teaching - said that the role of the teacher would change from that of provider of knowledge... to that of "front end to the universe": from be-all/there-all giver in a room full of receivers and final arbiter of what constitutes relevant knowledge to medium or gateway or traffic cop gently guiding but never blocking the learners' pathways outward to a world of information and knowledge and text that made the teacher a speck on the horizon yet still great in importance if she or he would thrive in the role of medium. Not maker or giver of the medium, but medium itself. There are classrooms today (and it has not much to do with computing hardware available, though a minimum is required...namely a good wireless connection for everyone) in which the new role is possible and the teacher loves playing it. From time to time here I have mentioned Kenneth Goldsmith's teaching, in part because I adore what Kenny does and in large part because I happen to have access to it, a close look at its development. Kenny's artwork did all this before he taught regularly, but now the pedagogy is catching up with the rest of the project. Here are a few paragraphs Kenny sent me not long ago about what the hell is happening in his classroom:
During a recent classroom visit of a visual artist, it occurred to me that we've reached a new paradigm in radical pedagogy. The artist entered the room, greeted the class and began his lecture with a PowerPoint presentation about his work. While he was speaking, he noticed that the class -- all of whom had their laptops open and connected to the internet -- were furiously typing away. He flattered himself that, in the traditional manner, the students were taking copious notes on his lecture, devouring every word he spoke. But what he was not aware of was that the students were engaged in a simultaneous electronic dialogue with each other about what the artist was saying, all played out over the class listserv, which they all had instant access to. During the course of the artist's lecture, dozens of emails, links and photos were blazing back and forth to each other; each email elicited yet more commentary and gloss on the prior emails to the point where what the artist was saying was merely a jumping off point to an investigation of such depth and complexity, that the artist -- or any ideal of traditional pedagogy -- would never have achieved. It was an unsurpassed form of student's active and participatory engagement, but went far astray from what the speaker had in mind.
When later told about this, the artist was very disturbed. His ego was mauled and when shown the blizzard of gloss, was more dispirited as he felt much of what had transpired was irrelevant and even irreverent (hastily Photoshopped detournments of images and concepts he brought up). He was flabbergasted that all of this "conversation" was happening and he, the authoritative speaker, was not privy to what was being said.
This talk was presented in response to a request for a manifesto to conclude a four-day conference on new writing practices. The conference took place in February 2010 at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Banff, Alberta.My dicta are four in total. In sum they are:1) Writing isn't the only thing that is changing or needs to change. 2) The other kinds of changes might demand an attention very different in kind from our usual. 3) Deep down, most of us do not really want these other changes to come. 4) The ideal site might be where things happen rather than get presented or taught.Now I will elaborate a little on each:1) If all this talk about true modal changes caused by (or aided by) writing in new media is going to be more than just talk, then we must also seek, or at least encourage, major changes in the institutions that were and are organized to assure the continuation of the old mode. Which is to say: if publishers and universities and art centers as organizations (with budgets, staff hierarchies, physical spaces, customs of credentialing) are set up assuming these binarisms:I write/you readI talk/you listenI have/you wantI am/you aren't yetI have language/you need my languageI produce/you consume & purchase--and if the relationship I write/you read is in the process of really changing (and indeed most of us here do our work on the assumption that it has already changed)--then all other aspects of the relationship must also be subject to that change. We cannot expect the traditional I write/you read binarism to disintegrate and then just hope that everything else in the writer/reader (and publisher/consumer, teacher/learner) relationship will similarly wither away, for there are actual forces maintaining it.2) So the most obvious thing one can say is that the conversations we have been having this weekend are not just about writing. We should think every bit as innovatively about the institutions and organizations that rose up around the technology of the book as we have in conceiving the writing that goes on inside or near or astride these institutions. (Complete separation from them is a nice dream, but only as nice and dreamy as other separatisms.)3) The honest truth is that most of us associated with such organizations - again I mostly mean universities and publishers and art centers, but also humanities institutes and foundations supporting artists – probably don't want the rest of the changes to follow from the disintegration of I write/you read exclusivity. This is especially true of I talk/you listen. (I make noise and you listen silently. I am producing something; you for the moment are unproductive.) Like the poetry reading, the lecture--being an ideology as well as an artifact of a certain phase of technology--is not something most people here are ready to give up. But I'm certain we will all be better off when we've put an end to the lecture; and anyway an alternative mode is among the main implications of what we do. So what is truly interactive? How many of us have been promised that such-and-such a gathering would be "interactive" only to find out that what people really want to give--but rarely to receive--is a series of monologues?4) I do not believe what I'm saying is to come about virtually. It is very much a matter of physical design, of planning (and, incidentally, of planning to stay), of working with brick and mortar. We need to build spaces that are unconducive to what I'm doing right now.Back in the mid-1970s, when he was promoting "oral poetry" as an alternative to the traditional presentation of writing, Jerome Rothenberg said the following: "As for poetry 'belonging' in the classroom, it's like the way they taught us sex in those old hygiene classes: not performance but semiotics. If I had taken Hygiene 71 seriously, I would have become a monk; & if I had taken college English seriously, I would have been an accountant." Yet Rothenberg did teach poetry in the classroom, and so admitted to a realization I very much admire and have myself used as a guiding principle: "the classroom [can] become a substitute for those places (coffee shop or kiva) where poetry actually happens & where it can be 'learned' (not 'taught') in action." As pre-digital as the metaphor of the kiva is, I still like it. I like it because it pushes the distinction between teaching and learning, and because it imagines spaces where "poetry actually happens" rather than where it is presented as if it's not there and thus must be talked about.

Acie Law cancels workout
One day after working out for the Atlanta Hawks, Texas A&M's All-American point guard Acie Law on Thursday pulled out of his scheduled workout with the Hornets, which was to be held today at an Edmond fitness center. Law had been scheduled to work out today with a group of guards that included Florida junior point guard Taurean Green and Vanderbilt's Derrick Byars. But his sudden cancellation has lead to speculation that he has received a guarantee from the Hawks, who are in need of a point guard and hold the No. 3 and 11 picks in the June 28 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Law averaged 18.1 points, 5.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds while leading the Aggies to a 27-7 record last season. On Wednesday, Law joined Georgia Tech point guard Javaris Crittenton and Virginia Tech's Jamon Gordon during the Hawks' workout. "I thought it went really well," Law told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I thought I played extremely well. My four years of college, I think it helps me a lot. Coming in at 22, I think I can make a smoother transition." On Monday, the Hawks are scheduled to work out Ohio State's Mike Conley Jr., who is regarded as the draft's best point guard. The Hornets, who have the 13th overall selection, have made it clear they're looking for shooters in next week draft, and Law, who hit several big shots in crunch time last season, would fit that bill. Law shot 50 percent from the field last season and made 45.8 percent of his 3-pointers. •Sonics fire two execs: The SuperSonics cleared the way for Detroit executive Scott Perry to become Seattle's new assistant general manager on Thursday, firing director of basketball operations Dave Pendergraft and director of college scouting Steve Rosenberry. The Pistons said on their Web site that the former director of player personnel is expected to assume his new role in Seattle as soon as contract details are finalized. Sonics spokesman Tom Savage would not confirm Perry had been hired as of Thursday afternoon, but said an announcement was likely coming soon. Perry was hired by the Pistons as a college scout in 2000. Before that, he was coach at Eastern Kentucky for three seasons. •Bucks extend contracts of Bogut, Villanueva: The Milwaukee Bucks picked up the final option years on the contracts of center Andrew Bogut and forward Charlie Villanueva on Thursday. Bogut, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, and Villanueva, the seventh pick that year, are now signed through the 2008-09 season. As part of the new collective bargaining agreement, their rookie contracts in 2005 were two years in length, with team options for the third and fourth seasons. Bogut, 22, averaged career highs in points (12.3), rebounds (8.0) and assists (3.0) in 66 games last season. Villanueva, 22, appeared in 39 games and averaged 11.8 points and 5.8 rebounds.

Budgeting for Age of Austerity
W HATEVER Chancellor George Osborne pulls out of his hat in next week's Budget, workers in Nick Clegg's "alarm clock Britain" will be unimpressed when the "age of austerity" dawns barely a fortnight later.
No fewer than 15 tax rises and benefit cuts take effect on April 6: the threshold for higher rate (40%) income tax falls by pounds 1,400 to pounds 42,475, while National Insurance rates (paid by employees) rise 1% to 12% on wages up to pounds 817 per week.
David Kilshaw, chair of private client advisory at accountants KPMG, says: "This year's Budget is unusual as we have been told about the measures for the next Finance Bill already - in other words, the changes come in on April 6. But the Chancellor can still add 'emergency' measures on March 23, so we don't rule out any surprises on tax."
Months of talk about public sector spending cuts are about to become a grim reality at a time when household finances are stretched by soaring petrol bills.
Kevin Mountford, head of banking at Flintshire-based finance website Moneysupermarket.com, says: "Instead of letting rising costs diminish their spending and saving power, consumers must take control of their own finances and be their own 'chancellor' by reviewing their own household budget."
Here's some potential savings from Moneysupermarket.com.
. ? Mortgage: of typical potential household annual savings of pounds 2,443 per year, nearly half - pounds 1,029 - could be saved by switching a pounds 150,000 mortgage from a standard variable rate (SVR) at 4.74% to a two-year fix - say, Santander's deal at 2.79%. ? Current accounts: the scope for savings may be limited, as average interest paid on balances has shrunk to 0.19%, with many paying nothing.
Santander's Preferred In-Credit Account pays 5% on balances up to pounds 2,500 for the first year, reducing to 1% after 12 months. Another attraction is a fee-free arranged overdraft after 12 months, but at least pounds 1,000 must be paid in each month.
The West Bromwich BS WebSaver account pays 3.01%, earning pounds 301 interest a year on a pounds 10,000 deposit. ? Personal loans: with M&S Money rates from 6.9% APR, savings of pounds 105 a year are possible on a five-year pounds 7,500 loan. …

Having just joined the club and bought first caravan for 20 years, we decided to try a site near to home just to test out the caravan. I rang and booked in advance. There was no-one around when we turned up but the field was quiet with just 2 campervans in it, so there was plenty of choice. The field, although described as flat, is part flat, and part sloping. The lane from Aberford Road is close to the M1 and also tthe A1(M). I especially like the electrically operated gate to gain access to the site. The site is close enough to the village of Aberford, but only a few miles from Garforth, if you need a larger selection of shops or eating places. It was a nice touch to be near such a variety of animals, as well as a nice covered fish pond, and we will be returning here, but next time with grandchildren. The toilet / shower block is well maintained, with soap and towels, and it even includes a set of urinals at the end. This could be very useful, during the busier summer months. My only criticism would be that there should be some way of washing hands there, possibly some handwash, as if you use the urinals when the other two toilets are in use, you would not be able to wash your hands. I can recommend The Crooked Billet at Saxton, Tadcaster which is 2. miles away, maybe slightly shorter. Their food is excellent, if a little pricey. If you do go there you must visit Lead Chapel, which is in the middle of the field opposite The Crooked Billett, It is lovely old church, commonly known as "The Ramblers Church", not quite abandonded, with no electricity, and there are only one or two services a year there. Half a mile further on there is an old cross to commemorate The Battle of Towton in 1461 during the War of the Roses, when between 28,000 and 36,000 men died on one day. It is described as "probably the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil".

Really recommend this site to get away from it all and experience the countryside, and being in touch with nature and animals.

There has been a few comments about road noise, there is some but it's not intrusive. The village is a short walk away and the local pub serves fantastic meals at a reasonable price and all cooked to order, no reheating, wonderful value. Also have a look at the local church it really is very nice. I only have a couple of minus's one is the dishwashing area for some reason has no hot water and (not the actual entrance) there is a short steep gradient which could be a bit dodgy if two caravans meet at the same time, but in fairness there is a convex mirror to look through before you commit. But don't let these two prevent you visiting, the fact that they have won the awards shows what a great site this is, the owners are very nice but do not intrude. Overall I give this 4.5 out of 5 purely because of the lack of hot water as mentioned, not for me by the way as I just do it in the caravan, but for campers etc hot water should be supplied.

Ok, so I imagine this question has been asked over a 1,000 times but I keep reading something different. Can someone please explain to me the difference of paying a cc completely to 0 or leaving 9% utilization on it? I have never let the balance go to 0 in fear of not having reoccurring account (OK) on my credit. Do I pay them completely off or leave them with a really low balance? Thanks in advance!
That depends what you want to do! If you have multiple cards, many people like to pay off the accounts to 0 while leaving one account with a 1-9% utilization amount over their total credit lines, in order to really maximize their scores.
If you're not planning on apping for anything anytime soon, this really isn't necessary. Feel free to have a small balances on whatever you want!
This is slightly incorrect. The general rule of thumb for optimal scoring is to have only one card report a balance with that balance being 9% or less of that card's individual credit limit. This makes sense if you think about it. If you have $50K in total available credit, 9% would be $4500. You don't want to let a $4500 balance report on a card with a $5K CL.
That's true, but usually that's a common sense thing. FICO scoring wise, as long the one account isn't maxed out, they're not gonna notice.But, then again, that doesn't mean though your creditor won't notice either!
But say for example I used my Shell card for utilization and the rest at zero to calculate 1% utility. When utilization is calcuated for a FICO purpose, it's over your total open revolving accounts. If i did 1% on my Shell, that's $8. Then, over my total accounts: $8/$29400 = 2.72108843537415e-4 = .027%!!!
Now, not sure how the FICO scoring model will weigh that. Will they round it to 0%? 1%? Would I be losing points this way now?
So take caution to the wind when playing around with utility!
It's worth pointing out for people that do not understand how this works. While it's common sense to not max out a card, it's not so much common sense that you are getting dinged around 20-30% even. If you're aiming for 9% total utilization it would be easy to end up around 20-30% individual utilization. For the most part this won't matter, but there are people that need every last point, e.g., people trying to qualify for a mortgage.
Utilization always rounds up. .000001% is 1%.
Good point...then for those who don't fully understand the FICO model, aiming for 1-9% on one card is a safer bet then having them try to figure out 1-9% over total lines, especially if they have many cards with low limits that could make it seem like they're maxed out on one card.
Also, thank you for clarifying the utilization round up!

The Mammoth Spring City Council completed their statements of financial interest and filed them at their Jan. 3 meeting. Mayor Jean Pace explained to the audience that this is when elected officials have to disclose their sources of income and the amount.
The council voted to adopted the 2006 Mammoth Spring city budget. The budget for this year is $593,600. The mayor said there was not a significant change in any department.
Because of complaints from city residents that a business in the city may not be safe, due to loose brick falling off the structure. The mayor and the council asked a structural engineering firm, Smith and Company from Poplar Bluff, Mo., to do a structural analysis on Michael's Antiques. The business is located at Third and Main Street in the city.
The building is 80 years old and is owned by a local man, Wayne Michaels. Pace presented the council the results found by the firm. The council voted to send Michaels a letter and ask him to make the needed repairs to the business. Pace said if the request is not met the council would be asked to take further action.
The council asked Bill Pace to continue as a member of the Advertising and Promotions Committee in the city and Pace agreed. It is the job of the council to appoint local citizens to the committee.
The next Mammoth Spring City Council meeting will be Feb. 9 at Mammoth Spring City Hall.

I was just wondering, do your reflux babies typically see a GI specialist, or just a regular ped? Do they normally have upper GIs done?
We just see our regular pediatrician. The ped said if we couldn't get him controlled with typical medications, then he'd refer us to a GI. He never had an upper GI done.
Hide your crazy and start acting like a lady.
Raising a kid is part joy and part guerilla warfare. - Ed Asner
My Ped ordered an upper GI and has now prescribed Reglan which I am not comfortable giving. We don't need referrals with our insurance so I am calling monday to see a Ped GI doctor.
Yes, we do. Once our ped went through the steps I assume she takes with all reflux babies she referred us out. I think ours was more a combination of things though, the main reason being her severe MSPI. We did not have an upper GI, but DID have and x-ray at one point and a barium swallow study.
Praying for a Christmas miracle for baby SCARLETT! Stay strong baby girl.
We're in canada, so it's all done through referrals. wasnt sure if i should push for one or not,
We also have a pedi GI. The pedi we had (at the time) would not prescribe anything more than zantac (and it was under-dosed at that...)
So we demanded a referral, which was the best move. Our pedi GI was wonderful, and immediately put her on the right PPI and formula, which made a huge difference. He was also in favor of parent-directed medication adjustments based on the needs of my child, so when I felt that she was controlled well enough to try weaning, I did. If I felt it was failing, we didn't. He supported me, since he believed I knew my baby and her symptoms, and knew I was well-educated on GERD and Sandifer's. Most pedi GIs really make the difference :)
Mommy to 2 beautiful girls: Lilyan (3-12-07) & Selah (3-28-09: reflux, Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome)
in our experience peds GIs have sucked, pretty useless and old school Reglan, Zantac, compounds total crap.
You can put your child on a hypo or an elemental yourself, if there is an improvement tell your pedi there is an improvement and then you try to get a script (if you need one). No one would prescribe Zegerid we finally got the old pedi to do it claiming we would throw out the rest since she only wanted to give like 10mg a day. WE dose 12mg three times a day and now no one questions us when we tell them the truth. No one is going to want to rock a boat that works. So now we have pedi approval for 36mg a day Zegerid and a script.
I saw the same ped GI for both my girls. She didn't run any tests. She went solely on my description of the symptoms. It was a relief for me to see the gi ped. She listened to me and believed me, unlike my ped and the associates who had the nerve to tell me that "Some babies cry more than others".....even though I had already been through it once with my ODD. I'd highly recommend it seeing one if you don't feel your ped is being much help!
DD�4/06 former reluxer/MSPI/Neocate/Prevacid
DD�6/09 former reluxer/Prevacid/MSPI/Neocate
When my son got to the max dosage of Zantac, my Ped wouldn't prescribe PPI without seeing a GI. So we've been seeing a Ped. GI ever since. We are fortunate to have the Cleveland Clinic in our backyard so we've been pretty happy with them. They didn't make us do an upper GI since his symptoms were textbook.
My DD has a pedi GI ( thank God for him ) who does not run any invasive tests on infants. He went by my descriptions alone and has put DD on solutabs and Pepcid. We are also seeing a Feeding specialist who is a great help as my DD had a severe feeding aversion and is a very picky eater.

Give Maurice Harkless credit. He's playing for the Orlando Magic, probably the worst team in the NBA, and yet he held nothing back.
His performance Monday night against the Houston Rockets displayed again what a tremendous amount of talent this rookie has and how he deserves so much credit for putting so much effort and intensity into everything he's doing.
Harkless scored a career-best 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting to pace the Magic (19-56) in a 111-103 loss.
The Magic are 19-56, and have lost eight consecutive road games and 43 of 50 overall. It can't be easy for anyone in a 50-game stretch knowing his team has only won 14 percent of its games.
That said, Harkless still had the intensity to play well along with four of his teammates, who also scored in double figures. Five other players scored in double-figures for Orlando, which used a furious fourth-quarter rally to make the final score appear respectable.
It's tough to step on the court knowing that there's an 86 percent chance, based on the last 50 games, that your team is going to lose. Harkless still appreciates playing in the league as a rookie and simply wants to get better. He definitely has a solid future in the NBA. This season, he's averaging 7.9 points and 4.5 rebounds a game.
But, with Arron Afflalo out with an injury and the Magic suffering from other player losses, Harkless is getting his chance and doing an impressive job. His team continues to lose but Harkless is giving it a chance to finally win a game. If they win, Harkless undoubtedly will be one of the reasons.

which years and what models of peugeot are using this type of tubing? thanks
which years and what models of peugeot are using this type of tubing? thanks
I am not the expert on this, but I am pretty sure the first model year was 1982. I am not sure how long they ran with it. Here is my 83 PSV 10. It looks similar to the 82
Chombi and Scozim will most likely chime in here and give you some accurate info on these bikes. Mine has a couple of upgrades, and is my lightest bike(other than a Carbon Trek)
About '82 to '87. PSN/PSV10. I think they may have done one other model before '85, but that is it.
"Where you come from is gone;
where you are headed weren't never there;
and where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it."
The main triangle and fork of some of the triathlon models were 980 as well. The stays seem to be some mystery steel though.
Seems to me they started around 1982 and finished with the Triathlon and PSN10 with that tubing in 1987 or 1988. Super Vitus tubing is my favorite frame material to ride. My 983 equipped Gitane is respectably light, nimble and a great climber. If I had a 980 Peugeot in my size it would see a lot of miles every year.
1984 Gitane Sprint; 1984 Gitane Tour de France;1982 Trek 610; 1980's Univega Supra Sport (fixie); 1975 Teledyne Titan; 1968 Peugeot PL8; ;1982 Nishiki Marina 12; 1972 Peugeot PX-10; 1987 Trek 800 Antelope (touring/commuting set up); 1981 Trek 510; 1993 Trek 950 mtb; 1996 Klein Pulse II mtb; 1997 Klein Pulse Comp mtb; 1989 Peugeot Limestone hybrid (for touring); 1989 Spectrum Titanium
The best ones eye-candy-wise were the light silver-blue one's from the very early 80s. Know a family who's patriarch died owning one - never ridden - with mostly Stronglight parts. Was very light at the time for a steel bike.
4000+ wheels built since 1984...
1. I do not claim to be an expert in bicycle mechanics despite my experience.
2. I like anyone will comment in other areas.
3. I do not own the preexisting concepts of DISH and ERD.
4. I will provide information as I always have to others that I believe will help them protect themselves from unscrupulous mechanics.
5. My all time favorite book is:
Kahane, Howard. Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric: The Use of Reason in Everyday Life
I think the PSV first came to be with the 82 model, 84 was PSV's last year. The SV980 frame was carried on by the PSN (With Campagnolo Victory Gruppo) and Triathlon models till 87 and that was it for SV980 on Peugeot bikes,.....at least for the US market.
'N' is Peugeot speak for clincher tires
82-83 PSV10 with tubulars. Normal seat post pinch bolts. French/Swiss threading.
84 there were 2 models PSV10N with clinchers and PSV10L with tublars. Goofy behind the seat tube set screw for seat post. French/Swiss threading.
'85-'86 PSN10 and Triathlon clincher modesl with intenally binding seatposts. FULL Super Vitus tubing. BSA threading. Triathlon has 32rd set bottle bosses.
'87 PSN10 and Triathlon models. PSN10 Mont Cenis with full SV tubing, Triathlon with main tubes and fork SV. BSA threading. Triathlon may have conventional seatpost binder bolt. PSN10 has internally expanding post.

Thanks Jim.
OK, for the record and to further my education, at least on this bike... BB number appears to be:
So possibly made in January, 1986
Here is the usually lost paper tag:
And the SV980 label located just above the DT shifters:
I wonder what the suffix "E" was for?
I've had PX10's with that letter, and possibly my former PKN10(E?).
I've got a French custom Tipo Limongi (Guisseppe Limongi) that's made of the 980 tubing, it rides and handles very well but of course flexes noticeably more than a couple of 1990's OS steel frames I own.
Wow, those bikes are so clean. Especially svenmn, so nice.
1985 Peugeot PSN-10 / Mont Cenis
i love these bikes. people here in san francisco treat them like huffys though
btw, how is super vitus 980 comparing reynold 531 or other materials in stiffness, riding quality if same geometry? their weight is roughly same, am i right?

Souvenir Photos
A traveller and avid photographer has a creative way of taking souvenir shots at popular places. The ingredient for his trick is a small object that's somehow related to the place and a steady hand.
See below for an example.
