Make that one show for the kids, and one for their parents. Sam Beam, who last Seattle show was at The Paramount if I'm not mistaken, is playing a couple considerably smaller rooms on a tour previewing his rarities collection, Around the Well, which Sub Pop will release on May 19. Apparently fans get to pick the set lists. Shout for a few from the untitled new record, which is expected next year. Press release after the jump.
Can't think of a better room to see Iron & Wine (or almost anyone else) than the Triple Door. Everyone's better after a couple martinis. Now if they could just hurry up and book Steely Dan, I'll be happy, and drunk, and Reelin' In the Years.
SEATTLE - Seattle Theatre Group (STG) presents Iron & Wine for two shows on Monday, May 4, 2009 at 8:00pm at The Vera Project and Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 8:00pm at the Triple Door.
On May 19, 2009 Iron & Wine will issue Around the Well (Sub Pop), a 2-CD/3-LP collection of rare tracks ranging from out-of-print to never-before-released. In support of Around the Well Iron & Wine will be performing ten intimate shows in five cities. Each individual show will be wholly unique, as Iron & Wine will turn the set list over to the fans to create. In addition, Iron & Wine have begun work on the follow-up to The Shepherd's Dog and plan to release a new album in spring, 2010.
The tracks collected on Around the Well span from Iron & Wine's earliest sessions which yielded the band's debut (2002's The Creek Drank the Cradle) through material recorded for 2007's The Shepherd's Dog. The double-disc collection is broken up into two sections. The first half is an assortment of hushed home recordings, unedited and raw, and the second highlights moments captured in the confines of proper studios with the help of other musicians, friends and engineers. The album's title comes from a line in the song "The Trapeze Swinger," a fan favorite which was written for and included in the movie In Good Company. Three more songs written and recorded for the film finally make their appearance here as well: "Belated Promise Ring," "God Made the Automobile" and "Homeward, These Shoes." Around the Well also brings together hard to find covers such as The Flaming Lips' "Waitin' for a Superman" and New Order's "Love Vigilantes," along with one of Iron & Wine's earliest originals, "Sacred Vision," which appeared on a compilation for Sound Collector magazine.

X-Men: First Class is first class fun!
This review is from: X-Men: First Class (+Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (2011)
Pros: X-Men: First Class is a great movie that you will find yourself watching over and over again. This movie was directed Matthew Vaughn who directed Layer Cake (good movie you should also check out). This movie features James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, and Jennifer Lawrence. The movie is set in the 1970's and shows the start of the Professor X's X-Men. The movie has heart and is has a great cast that showcase some great acting chops. The bad boys are tough and menacing unlike some weaker superhero movies.
Cons: Nothing

I'm sure that we can define the science communities as cultural because everything we do has some form of technology involved. We look back at ancient civilisations and say "Their culture was richly involved with deities" And future civilisations may travel back to Earth to scour the remains of our destroyed world and say "Their culture was richly involved in scientific discovery which unfortunately led to the destruction of their home"

Actually, isn't there some kind of mathematical way of showing how far something away is by measuring is simultaneously from two different points?
Yes, it's basic trigonometry.

There are 2 more units i forgot to add, the aurek fighter Empireatwar.filefront.com and the twintail (heavy fighter) Empireatwar.filefront.com
I do, all the units here are in-game, like i said many more are being made, but the lack of a modeler is making it difficult.

Remember that this is only the units done, and many more are in the process of being made.

Barack Obama has resurrected his 2008 slogan of "hope and change," though he's dropped the "hope" part.
"You know that I know what real change looks like because I fought for real change," Mr. Obama told supporters Friday in Hilliard, Ohio. "After all we've been through together, we can't give up on real change now." It's a dangerous theme for an incumbent president because if change is needed, it's a change from his own policies.
A few minutes after the president spoke, Mitt Romney entered a campaign rally in Wisconsin where the crowd cheered "four more days" -- a take-off of the "four more years" chant heard at Mr. Obama's events. The former Massachusetts governor agreed the country is on the wrong track.
"Unless we change course, we may well be looking at another recession," he said. "Candidate Obama promised change, but he couldn't deliver it. I promise change, but I have a record of achieving it."
The president hasn't kept his word. At the third presidential debate in 2008, candidate Obama explained his intention to enact a "net spending cut" in Washington. He said he'd go through "the federal budget line by line, page by page" to eliminate unneeded programs. The one-term Illinois senator vowed to make a dollar-for-dollar reduction in government spending to match any new outlays. Instead, he spent $813 billion more in 2012 than his predecessor spent in 2008.
Mr. Obama also assured voters before he was elected that his health care reform would "cut the average family's premium by about $2,500 per year." Four years later, premiums have jumped $3,065, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. At a rally in Springfield, Mo., three days before the 2008 election,
Mr. Obama pledged to create 2 million jobs by using government money to build infrastructure and 5 million by investing in "the new energy economy." Unemployment is higher now than when he took office.
If Mr. Obama had kept his February 2009 promise "to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office," the national debt would be a whopping $3 trillion less than it is today. Instead, the national debt has increased $48,975 per household under this president.
At every campaign stop, Mr. Obama brags about Bill Clinton's economic success, as if the former president's record will rub off on him. Even Mr. Clinton concedes this tactic is hopeless. On Friday, Mr. Clinton said that people keep coming up to him and saying they have lost their enthusiasm for Barack. "I may be the only person in America," admitted the 42nd president, "but I am far more enthusiastic about Obama this time than I was four years ago."
The shift over the last four years to super-sized federal government, nationalized health care and overregulated businesses has derailed prosperity. People are tired of the broken promises. They want change, just not the kind Mr. Obama is offering.

Bringing Real Life to the Table: Patient Reps Help FDA Review Products
Meadows, Michelle, FDA Consumer
When Jim Anderson of La Plata, Md., became an FDA patient representative in 1997, he wasn't sure how much help he could be. In preparation for his first advisory committee meeting, the Food and Drug Administration sent him a new drug application (NDA) briefing package, which he describes as "10 pounds of paper."
"I couldn't pronounce half the words," he says, "and I was scared to speak ..."
But the fear didn't last long, says Anderson, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993. He recalls reviewing a drug that gave "a small chance to provide pain relief and a significant risk of heart failure," in his opinion. He was glad he spoke up about it because his concern prompted a serious discussion among the scientists and doctors.
Anderson was one of about 23 patient representatives who gathered in Rockville, Md. for an FDA training workshop in September. Since 1991, patient representatives have served on FDA advisory committees to help review products. Advisory committees provide a forum through which the FDA seeks advice from outside experts and consumers.
Patient representatives give the FDA and its advisory committees insight on issues and questions important for patients and family members living with serious and life-threatening illnesses. The patient representative program began after Congress passed legislation requiring consumer representation on advisory committees and HIV/AIDS advocates demanded to be included on advisory committees that review products affecting their lives. Over the years, the FDA saw the significant contribution HIV/AIDS patients made to the regulatory review process, and the distinct category of patient representatives was expanded to include other committees.
FDA experts in the areas of drugs, radiological health, medical devices, and biologics briefed those at the workshop on the agency's product review process. Among the workshop agenda topics was how to sift through the hefty NDA applications, which contain results from animal studies, clinical tests, and other drug information. Patient representatives should expect to spend at least 10 hours reviewing the material before an advisory committee meeting.
Patient representatives typically have experience with and are knowledgeable about a specific serious or life-threatening illness. They also typically have a formal affiliation with a patient advocacy organization. About 60 patient representatives now serve on the FDA's 32 advisory committees.
Most patient representatives serve on committees that review products related to HIV/AIDS and cancer. But additional diseases, such as arthritis, diabetes, lupus, and Parkinson's disease, are also included. Patient representatives are reimbursed for travel, lodging, and daily expenses. A modest honorarium is provided for each day of service at the meeting.
Critical Questions
During the fall workshop, Steven Hirschfeld, M.D., Ph.D., a medical officer in the FDA's division of oncology drug products, described the challenge of pinpointing the indicators that reasonably predict whether a drug will have a benefit. …

In his report to the Adjutant General of the Army, dated Chicago, Illinois, October 25, 1878, Lieutenant General P. H. Sheridan, commanding the Military Division of the Missouri, refers to affairs along the Rio Grande border during the year as follows:
"On the Rio Grande border, troubles until quite lately have continued about the same as they have been for years past, and are incident to the character of the population on that border. The Rio Grande is about 1600 miles in length from El Paso to its mouth and fordable at almost any place, and Mexicans and Indians committing depredations in Texas have every facility for escaping to the Mexican side. I think now that the Mexican Government is making more exertion to suppress lawlessness than heretofore. If it does not succeed, I would recommend that Congress pass an act that from and after a certain fixed time if depredations in Texas are not discontinued, a force of troops be sent across at certain points and kept there until depredations entirely cease. The moral effect of such Congressional action would, in my opinion, prevent all further trouble."
That the evident desire on the part of the Mexican authorities to cooperate more fully with the United States troops in the suppression of lawlessness and depredations along the Rio Grande, as noted in the concluding paragraphs of General Sheridan's report, was brought about by the expedition under Colonel Mackenzie into Mexico, noted in the record of events for June, 1878, in previous chapter, there can be no doubt, and the Secretary of War, in his report to the President for 1878, evidently had this expedition in mind when referring to affairs on the Mexican Border. He said in part:
"The increase of our force in the vicinity of the Rio Grande, and the vigorous policy which for some time has been pursued in dealing with marauders invading our soil from Mexico, have produced the result predicted in my report of one year ago. Although the people of Texas have not been exempt from these incursions during the year, and several of them have been attended by heart-rending atrocities, yet they have been fewer in number than during any year for a long period, and within the past four months almost perfect quiet has prevailed. A considerable Mexican force has Deen sent to the vicinity of the border to operate against the bands of Indians infesting that region, and the avowed purpose of the Mexican government is to put a stop to raids upon our people and territory."
Colonel Mackenzie's expedition crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico on June 12, 1878, and returned on June 21, 1878. Company B, 25th Infantry, under command of Captain Charles Bentzoni, was a part of the expedition, and Colonel Mackenzie's report is quoted here in full, because of its historical interest to the regiment:
Headquarters District of the Nueces.
Fort Clark, Texas, June 25, 1878.
Assistant Adjutant General, Department of Texas, San Antonio, Texas.
I have the honor to report that Captain Young's command left their camp on Devils River on the 11th instant, and marched to a point on the Rio Grande about fifteen miles above the mouth of Devils River known as Winkers' Crossing.
The condition of the Rio Grande was such that a crossing could not be made until the afternoon of the next day, June 12th.
The command then crossed without mishap and camped that night ten (10) miles southwest of the river, making a dry camp.

Microsoft to Create Emacs Clone?
Microsoft developer Douglas Purdy reports of plans to create a clone of the Emacs editor for .Net.
In his blog Purdy has published an entry saying that he and his team are looking for developers to program an application that will bring the functionality of Emacs to the .Net software platform. It is hard to say right now whether Microsoft will be using the Emacs code, or developing its own application from scratch. More specifically, Purdy is looking for a programmer with experience in the development of IDEs and text editors. The job is advertised as a full time vacancy.
Emacs is a text editor that was developed by Richard Stallman back in 1976, and which is available today in different versions for a large number of systems, including Windows. A proprietary Emacs-style editor was sold to UniPress in 1981 by Java creator James Gosling. This editor was dubbed "Gosling Emacs". The free alternative, GNU Emacs, was initiated by Stallman in 1984.
Microsoft's .Net software platform includes a runtime environment, a collection of class libraries, and matching utilities. At present, Open Source developers are working on a free version code named "Mono". The project is mainly promoted by Novell. There is also a .Net variant called "Rotor", which is available for Windows, FreeBSD and OS X, however, its licensing terms are unacceptable to many developers.

THE main sources for Emerson's biography are James Elliot Cabot's Memoir and E. W. Emerson Emerson in Concord. These, together with Emerson's works, afford the basis of the present volume, and for the use which has been made of them the author takes pleasure in thanking the publishers, Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin, and Co., who kindly granted the necessary permission. Other illustrations of Emerson's character and career are found scattered in the reminiscences of his contemporaries, particularly in the volumes by Conway, Ireland, Albee, Alcott, Haskins, Sanborn, and Holmes; but these writers add little except detail. Two other small books deserve mention for their excellent rendering of Emerson's personality in old age,-- J. B. Thayer A Western Journey with Mr. Emerson, and C. J. Woodbury Talks with Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Correspondence of Emerson with Carlyle and his Letters to a Friend, both edited by C. E. Norton, and other letters to Hermann Grimm and to a classmate, published respectively in the Atlantic Monthly, May, 1903, and the Century, July, 1883, complete the list of sources.
BEVERLY, MASSACHUSETTS, November 11, 1906.

A Christmas Eve glitch traced to Amazon.com Inc that shuttered Netflix for users from Canada to South America highlights the risks that companies take when they move their datacentre operations to the cloud.
While the high-profile failure – at least the third this year – may cause some Amazon Web Services customers to consider alternatives, it is unlikely to severely hurt a fast-growing business for the cloud-computing pioneer that got into the sector in 2006 and has historically experienced few outages.
"The benefits still outweigh the risks," said Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry.
"When it comes to the cloud, Amazon has got it right."
The latest service failure comes at a critical time for Amazon, which is betting that AWS can become a significant profit generator even if the economy continues to stagnate. Moreover, it is increasingly targeting larger corporate clients that have traditionally shied away from moving critical applications onto AWS.
AWS, which Amazon started more than six years ago, provides data storage, computing power and other technology services from remote locations that group thousands of servers across areas than can span whole football fields. Their early investment made it a pioneer in what is now known as cloud computing.
Executives said last month at an Amazon conference in Las Vegas they could envision the division, which lists Pinterest, Shazam and Spotify among its fast-growing clients, becoming its biggest business, outpacing even its online retail juggernaut.
Evercore analyst Ken Sena expects AWS revenue to jump 45 percent a year, from about $2 billion this year to $20 billion in 2018.
The service has boomed because it is cheap, relatively easy to use, and can be shut off, scaled back or ramped up quickly depending on companies' needs. As the longest-running player in the game, Amazon now boasts the widest array of datacenter products and services, plus a broader stable of clients than rivals like Google Inc , Rackspace Inc and Salesforce.com Inc .
Outages such as the one that took down Netflix and other websites on the eve of one of the biggest US holidays are part and parcel of the nascent business, analysts say. Moreover, outages have been a problem long before the age of cloud computing, with glitches within corporate datacenters and telecommunications hubs triggering myriad service disruptions.
Amazon's latest service failure comes months after two high-profile outages that hit Netflix and other popular websites such as photo-sharing service Instagram and Pinterest. Industry executives, however, say its downtimes tend to attract more attention because of its outsized market footprint.
Netflix – which CEO Reed Hastings said relies on AWS for 95 percent of its datacenter needs – would not comment on whether they were pondering alternatives. Analysts say the video streaming giant is unlikely to try a large-scale switch, partly because all cloud providers experience outages.
"Despite a steady stream of these service outages, the demand for cloud services offered by AWS, Google, etc. continues to escalate because these services are still reliable enough to satisfy customer expectations," said Jeff Kaplan, managing director of consultancy ThinkStrategies Inc.
"They offer cost-savings and elasticities that are too attractive for companies to ignore."
But "Netflix and other organisations which rely on AWS will have to reexamine how they configure their services and allocate their service requirements across multiple providers to mitigate over-dependency and risks."
AWS spokeswoman Rena Lunak said the outage was traced to a problem affecting customers at its oldest data center, run out of northern Virginia, which was linked also to the June failure.
The latest glitch involved a service known as Elastic Load Balancing, which automatically allocates incoming Web traffic across multiple servers in order to boost the performance of a website. She declined to provide further details about the outage, saying the company would be publishing a full post-mortem within days.
AWS has traditionally been used by start-up tech companies and smaller businesses that anticipate rapid growth in online traffic but are unwilling or unable to shell out on IT equipment and management upfront.
The company has more recently started winning more and more business from larger corporations. It has also set up a unit that caters to government agencies.
Regardless, Amazon's clientele would do well not to put all their eggs in one basket, analysts say.
"Service outages do occur, but they are not common enough to cause users of these services to abandon today's Cloud service providers at significant rates. In fact, every major Cloud service provider has experienced outages," Kaplan said.
"Therefore, organisations that rely on these services are putting backup and recovery systems and protocols in place to mitigate the risks of future outages."

The Phoenix Suns sprung up in 1968 and have given their fans decent basketball ever since. The dream team of Hall-of-Famer Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, and Dan Majerle led the team during the 1992-1993 season to the NBA finals against the Bulls. The Suns won the First Round, the Conference Semifinals and also won the Conference Finals, before losing the NBA Finals to the Chicago Bulls. Perhaps the most memorable moment for the team came in a triple-overtime thriller against the Boston Celtics during the 1976 post-season. The Suns, after winning the Conference Semifinals and Finals, faced the Celtics for the NBA Finals. In game five, the two teams were neck in neck for three overtimes. Though Boston eventually took the game, winning 128 to 126, (and the series as well) the game is measured to be one of the NBA's most historic. The team's long-standing rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers has spiced up the excitement surrounding this team, lighting up the postseason a number of times. The Lakers do usually dominate both the regular and post-season match-ups, however, since the addition of Steve Nash to the Suns, the team has dominated seven of 9 meeting with the Lakers. There is also a smaller rivalry between the Suns and the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks, but the Lakers rivalry remains the strongest.

What to Do About Beltre & Griffey?"/>
Ever since we started trashing him a month ago, Adrian Beltre has been on a tear at the plate, raising his batting average from the Mendoza line to a respectable .265. Which means, of course, that the M's should look to trade him immediately to a contender -- the Giants, Cardinals, Brewers, or Reds would be good fits -- willing to rent his services for the rest of the year, at the conclusion of which he'll become a free agent. From where we sit, he's too old and expensive to be part of the M's rebuilding project in the coming years -- best to get value for him now while he's hotter than Georgia asphalt.
Less cut and dry is what to do with Ken Griffey Jr., currently hitting an anemic .207. If Griffey weren't Griffey, he could be relegated to pinch hitting duty or simply cut loose in the interest of giving someone like Jeff Clement another crack at big league pitching. But because Griffey is Griffey -- the most beloved active player in Mariner history who was signed specifically to give fans a nostalgic reason to come to the park during what promised to be a rocky campaign -- there's something to be said for letting Seattle's equivalent to Babe Ruth take his cuts, however futile they prove to be. Our solution: bat him seventh until he heats up, and let him play virtually every day. He's not used to being platooned, which might partially explain his struggles to date.

It validated what we sort of knew - DS age 6's reading compehension is at a 5th grade level, his vocabulary is at an 8th grade level, his math is at a 2nd grade level, and his writing/small motor skills are pre-K. I'm summarizing just some of the things that struck us.
I'm really glad we did the testing. I don't have a specific question right now. I'm just letting the information sink in and waiting for school to start on Tuesday to see how his teachers kick off the year.

Hello, my fellow gamers! I've been playing since I was 4. I can't remember what was my very first game. So I'm just going to say that it might have been Super Mario 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Star Fox 64, Mario Party, Scars, or Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. I'm 16 and I play any genre of games. I suck at strategy and shooter games, but I still love playing those types of games. I'm currently developing some games, but I procrastinate a lot. I'm not the brightest tool in the shed. I say a lot of stupid things and I tend to get off topic. I want to learn more about game development, history, languages, psychology, etc. I don't just plan on becoming a game developer, but also a psychologist. Yeah, I'm going to be a psychologist/game developer. I'm into anime, manga, manhwa, philosophy, drawing, writing stories, and songs.
Just bought three games. That adds up to six games I'm currently playing. And some free games I have downloaded as well. Leading to a total of probably 10-20. I don't how many I have on this laptop. I've stopped counting.
I'm playing Persona 3 FES, Pokemon Y, Obscure: The Aftermath, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Devil Survivor Overclocked, Kid Icarus: Uprising (Uprising is one of my brother's, but he's letting me play it for now), Seven Mysteries, The Unknown, The Witch's House, and others.
I would also like to say I hooked to this new anime, Kill la Kill. Even though I only saw one episode. Haven't got to watching the other episodes.
I also like to say on what I think about The Walking Dead so far. The Walking Dead is a great show, but I find the story's pacing right now really slow. There's some lacking in character development in season 3 *cough* Carl *cough* . I know that it's based on comics, and I've never read it. So I went ahead and spoiled myself by reading summaries of it on the wikia. And I want to ask those who read the comics and watch the show. Do you find the show better or worse than the comics? Why do you find it better or worse? Do you think that the show should be separate, meaning that it should have a different route than the comics?

Lisa Deaderick • U-T
The sport is more than picking out a glossy ball, finding the right weight, sliding a few fingers in the holes, and throwing it down a slick lane. Avid bowlers know about strategy, hooking a ball, and oil patterns. Knowing these things well enough can also mean a college bowling scholarship, which Brittany Crittenden managed to land.
"I've bowled since I was 4," she said. "My dad had me at the bowling alley before I could even walk."
The 17-year-old is a senior at Steele Canyon High School and lives in La Mesa with her family. She's played other sports, including swimming and water polo, but says that she always excelled at bowling. She finds the game to be more mental than physical, which suits her.
After looking into various schools with bowling programs, she sent her video and scores to the coach at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan. She traveled to the school and practiced with the team, and met the coach. They offered her $4,000 a year to bowl; that's in addition to the $15,000-a-year academic scholarship she received from Baker.
"I like that everyone can bowl, but not everyone can be good at bowling," she said of why she enjoys the sport. "I guess it can be a fun thing that you just like to do with your friends, and you can also know the oil patterns and how your ball is going to react to it. And you can be really serious about it, as well."
Oil patterns? Oil was originally used to protect the surface of the lanes when the bowling balls were thrown onto them. Now, oil is applied to lanes to affect the way the ball reacts as it travels toward the pins at the end of the lane. There is typically more oil applied to the center of the lanes than the outside, allowing for the ball to "hook" (or curve) more from the outside of the lane to the pocket.
"That's why I think bowling takes a lot more knowledge than a lot of sports," Brittany said. "There's a lot that can change on the bowling lane."
There's also a lot that can change from 8 to almost 18. When she was 8, Brittany traveled to Washington, D.C., and just knew she wanted to be the first female president of the United States and a lawyer. Now, she still wants to be a lawyer, but will leave the big political career to others. She's thinking she'll major in economics and maybe practice corporate law, but that could change, too.
Whatever happens with her studies or her bowling, her key is to stay calm and adjust. "The most important thing is to not get frustrated because you have to understand you can't always control what's going on."

GITEX 2011: Redefine the Future
Information technology enthusiasts have their calendar marked on October 9 for GITEX's annual weeklong exhibition. Just how much do you know about GITEX though? Kipp takes a look at the history, finance, success, and other aspects of the region's biggest ICT event.
October 6, 2011 12:27 by shafeer
Retailers and exhibitors' sales exceeded AED 175 million in the 2010 edition of GITEX. However, sales are just one aspect of the GITEX economics. A main aim of the event is to encourage more ICT spending and investment in the region. The ICT sector spending in the Middle East witnessed a noticeable recovery in 2010 after a five percent drop in 2009. According to IDC, a US-based ICT research firm, information technology spending in the MENA region witnessed a growth of 11 percent compared with 1.2 percent growth in Western Europe. In the UAE, information technology spending amounted for $ US 4.8 million in 2010.
Moving on to the organisational aspect of GITEX, exhibitors pay a standard rate of AED 1,650 per sqm for a space or a standard rate of AED 1,850 for a space with shell scheme. Also, visitors pay AED 30 as an admission fee.

Building a dynamic blacklist with Netfilter's Recent module
Netfilter's Recent module builds a temporary blacklist to keep intruders off your network.
When an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) recognizes an attack, it issues a strict "keep out" order to block the intruder's access to services. Unfortunately, other systems on the network might not benefit from this block. The Recent module by Netfilter dynamically updates the firewall access rules to create a temporary "bad guy" list. You can then configure the firewall rules so that an IP address that breaks a rule is temporarily prevented from any form of access. Recent also comes with special features for fighting port scans, and you can combine the Recent module with an external application such as Snort to create a fast and effective framework for detecting and closing out network attacks.

I've been "saving" my Ti bike for faster group rides and using my steel framed bike for Century rides. The century bike has a road triple, room for fenders, attachment points for racks and can carry 4 bottles. This bike is very comfortable
The ti bike has a standard double, no room for fenders, or attachment points. It clearly sprints and climbs faster, but is not significantly faster over longer distances.
Having said all that, I sometimes wonder why I don't put a triple on it and use it for supported century rides?
Do I have the right priorities?

Why does music make us zone out???

Why does music make us zone out???
Because it's the only art form that connects and interfaces with the subconscious, the unconscious, the inner self. In a visceral way. Everything else, as strong as it may be, requires vision, attentiveness. Music is different. It finds us wherever we are, be it awake or asleep or driving or working or fucking or talking or whatever- and gets in and takes over. It's better than sex and it's better than depression. It's the sublimation of every feeling and thought and experience and it's the only real way that we can feel released, expressed, connected. Everything else falls short: drugs, love, alcohol, you name it. Music is the closest we can get to the other side without dying. For most of us, that's close enough.
Exhibit A:
"I age by years at the mention of your name"
I can't remember the exact quote by Jane's A bassist Eric Avery but it was something like "Music is the only medium that can change your mood immediately". I agree with this....if you think about it, a movie or TV show you have to watch to get to a certain scene that might change how you feel....same for a book. For music, you could put on something angry and it will get you energized or something sad which might make you cry.
I dont look at the clouds of tomorrow through the sunshine of today.

Job Rights for the Mentally Ill
Laura Baxter knew her work was suffering, but she didn't want to tell her boss the reason.
For years, Baxter (not her real name) had taken antidepressants for major depression. But now her medication was failing. As her doctor searched for a better drug, Baxter began to lose sleep and couldn't think clearly. "I could barely get out of bed to brush my teeth or shower," she says. "At work I was getting nothing done."

Why Do I Fall Asleep While Meditating?
By Erinn Bucklan
Read the Why Do I Fall Asleep While Meditating? article > >
To make matters worse, a new supervisor took over Baxter's department in the biotechnology firm where she did research. Unaware of what good work Baxter had done before her illness, he was moving to fire her. "I knew I was about to get canned," she says, "but I also felt, from comments he'd made, that he would not be sympathetic if I told him what was the matter."
It's a dilemma faced by millions of Americans. One in five Americans suffers from a mental illness, says Jennifer Heffron, an attorney with the National Mental Health Association. "But most people have no idea which of their co-workers are coping with it. It's very personal information and most people do not like to disclose this about themselves because of the stereotypes surrounding the issue."
This stigma is the biggest barrier to treatment, and can result in "outright discrimination and abuse" on the job and elsewhere, wrote U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher in his December 1999 report "Mental Health."
But the stigma of mental illness need not pose an overwhelming barrier to getting and keeping good job. Federal law requires employers to give people with mental illness a fair chance at working, and many organizations offer support and counseling.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers must accommodate the mentally ill just as they do the physically ill. Often the accommodations for the mentally ill are the less costly of the two, says Heffron. "It can be something as simple as more flexible working hours, or moving a person's office to the end of a hallway so there is less distraction if concentration is a problem."

ANKARA, Turkey - A new high-speed passenger train derailed Thursday in northwestern Turkey, and rescue officials said 36 people were killed and 57 injured.
At least four cars overturned near Pamukova in Sakarya province, with most of the damage in two cars that crashed into each other. Bodies lay near the tracks as people climbed on the overturned cars looking for survivors.
It was not immediately known what caused the derailment of the train.
Egypt proposes peace conference
JERUSALEM - Egypt has proposed a Mideast peace conference in October to coordinate Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and Washington offered its support, officials said Thursday.
But the Palestinians are in political disarray, and the plan suffered a setback when Israel ruled out Palestinian participation.
At sundown, two Islamic Jihad militants were killed when their car exploded in Gaza City. Helicopters were seen overhead, and Israel TV said there was an Israeli airstrike. The military had no immediate comment.
A conference could advance the stalled U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan and might allow Israel to reconsider its refusal to negotiate with the Palestinians over the planned pullout.
Israel insists the Palestinians are unreliable negotiating partners, accusing them of doing nothing to stop violence against Israelis.
8 wounded in explosions outside Russian base
MAKHACHKALA, Russia - Twin explosions outside an Interior Ministry police base in Dagestan wounded eight people Thursday.
It was the latest in a series of bombings and criminal violence that has shaken the region bordering Chechnya.
Nobody claimed responsibility for the two homemade, remote-controlled bombs.
The explosion twisted the gates at the paramilitary police base and shattered the windows on two buses bringing ministry employees to work for the day.
Whaling commission puts brakes on plan
SORRENTO, Italy - The International Whaling Commission put the brakes Thursday on a plan critics said might lead to lifting an 18-year ban on commercial whaling, ending four days of acrimonious talks.
Japan and other pro-whaling countries favor lifting the moratorium, while the anti-whaling bloc opposes any move that might lead to an end of the ban.
The commission said in a resolution approved Thursday that the plan should be a starting point for discussing whale management over the next 12 months.
Yukos: Oil exports could be interrupted
MOSCOW - The beleaguered Yukos oil company, which produces about 2 percent of the world's supply, said Thursday its enormous back taxes bill could force it to run out of money within a month and leave it unable to fulfill its export contracts.
Yukos issued a statement repeating its plea to be allowed to stagger payment of its $3.4 billion tax bill for 2000. The government has shown no sign of interest and analysts interpreted the call as a reflection of desperation rather than hope.
Yukos exports about 75 percent of its 1.7-million-barrel daily production.
