The 'Vogue'-sters have been added to the list of bundlers raising $100,000 to $200,000 for Obama's campaign.
The towering 'Vogue' editor's credit issues ruined an innocent day of buying thongs at Macy's. Oh, we've been there.
He even spent three days packing!
Chalayan will launch footwear for fall '09, critics heart Armani couture, and Alessandra Fachinetti's couture collection for Valentino debuts.
We called up some real ex-'Vogue' interns to find out how their experience at the magazine compared to Sean Avery's. Turns out, they don't compare!
Our favorite 'Vogue' editor has worn turbans twice in recent weeks. It turns out he's taking lessons on how to wrap them.
Adidas says Wal-Mart is copying its logo, a woman got injured by a Victoria's Secret V-string, and André Leon Talley wears another turban.
A woman accuses the Obama campaign of discriminating against her at an event because she was wearing a head scarf.
Democrats are afraid André Leon Talley will lead Michelle Obama into fashion faux pas–dom, but it sounds like she wouldn't let that happen.
Reports that Anne Hathaway broke up with boyfriend Raffaello Follieri go undenied by her reps, Ivanka Trump reveals a childhood trauma, André Leon Talley threatens to style again, and other celebrity reports in our daily digest.
Kate Moss will appear in Just Cavalli campaigns after a few seasons starring in Cavalli's, Anna has a fancy party planned for Michelle, and Naomi Campbell plays bridesmaid.

Giorgio Armani, Valentino, and John Galliano will also attend. Also, Vera Wang has new stores in the works, and Mayor Bloomberg makes a fashion funny.
Roberto Cavalli might sell his company, Sean Avery will attend tonight's CFDA Awards, and Tommy Hilfiger reveals wedding details.
'Sex and the City' premiered last night, and though Sarah Jessica Parker didn't wear an awesome hat, she had a mighty train.
Remember that metallic jacket she wore to the Oscars a couple of years ago? Well, if it were up to her, she says, she wouldn't have worn it!
André Leon Talley said it took two years of planning to get John Galliano to stop by the Savannah College of Art and Design, but the students didn't expect him to show up anyway.

If you had to choose one advantage that Scrum gives over a waterfall process, what would it be?
closed as not constructive by Bill the Lizard Aug 7 '12 at 14:30
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
You build what the customer wants as opposed to what the customer thought they wanted when you gathered requirements.
EDIT: This is a general property of Agile methods with the emphasis on delivery early and often -- the exact opposite of waterfall (delivery late and once).
There can be some implementations of software development that use most of Scrum within a waterfall framework so part of your question may be based on mis-information.
The main advantage I see in Scrum is the daily communication and accountability it provides so that everyone on the team can know what everyone else is doing plus share where he or she is. The visibility this gives to see what is going on along with the accountability of telling what you are doing is what can make Scrum a very nice part of developing software assuming you are working with people that can get along and are comfortable making their own rules to some extent.
It gives you a process that delivers useable business function early and often, which increases the likelihood that the customer will be satisfied with your results. It also does so at a relatively low cost, and reduces the risk of failure.
Happy developers
That you deliver usable bits of software rapidly so that you find out whether or not you are on the right track before the project goes off the rails.
Of course, this applies to any agile process as opposed to waterfall, not just Scrum.
That your code runs stable at the end of each sprint.
Nothing worse than trying to work on an unstable code base.
The number one reason I like SCRUM is the burn-down concept. No one cares how much time you have spent, all they need to know is how much time you have left.
No Death Marches.
Define what you can deliver every sprint.
I find that it is a great motivator, that the team as a whole is involved in the planning process, and not just a couple of people (which was the case previously). Usally this also amounts to more precise estimates, in my experience, which is essential in keeping the project on the right course.
Also, it is great to have a good overview of, what is actually going on on the team currently, knowing what everyone is working on to some extent, instead of just having the project leader giving out assignments individually.
User (Product Owner) is involved with deciding what is needed next.
So you have immediate buy in from the users.
i see this confusion a lot, so let's be specific:
The two are not equivalent.
the confusion arises because Scrum is often practiced as the project-management part of an Agile development process, but Scrum and Agile are not the same thing
so to be technically accurate, your question makes a bad assumption! Perhaps you'd like to rephrase it?
Waterfall is the first attempt to tackle software development using the common engineering aproach. In other words, It's HORRIBLE for everybody.
Main advantage of SCRUM? It was actually planned to be used for software development.
Mainly the code "growth" with new information, is not "assembled" only after somebody says the information you have is enough (which never is).
Waterfall assumes you know everything in advance, which just isn't possible.
A good scrum process starts the same way waterfall does, listing out everything you want to build. The advantage of scrum, though, is that you re-rank that list after every iteration, you're always building exactly what the customers want.
When we were building a beta of one of our products we allowed the beta customers to help drive the stack rank for the next cycle. The end result was a product that the customers wanted, not one we dictated to them.
SCRUM (and all agile methodologies that follow the agile manifesto) acknowledge that software developers are human. Waterfall practitioners are more likely to believe that software is developed by interchangeable man-month robots.
It facilitates emergent design / emergent architecture.
The ability to change directions or process course corrections without impacting the schedule, cost, or performance dramatically.
One of the biggest benefits you'll see is that you have iterative cycles. The customer is going to change their mind, budget, etc. It helps to be flexible, instead of getting the reaction, "that isn't what I asked for, so I'm not paying for it"
I think true waterfall days are gone. Spiral took over waterfall and lot of teams operate in spiral even without knowing it. In one of my previous tags I mentioned that Agile is evolved from spiral.
'Late binding'. In agile methodologies, defer decisions. You make calls later in the project cycle when you actually have relevant knowledge, as opposed to earlier when you do not. That improves the quality of your decisions.
Firstly, if we just agree that the right question is more like "agile" vs "waterfall"...
As a former development manager, my primary view of this is actually somewhat different. I love the "engineering practices" benefits of agile methods, such as burndows, JIT design etc.
However, studies show that the correlation between process choice and success rate is less than many might expect (one example). Sure, Agile is fairly consistently shown to be somewhat better, but it is not clear if the studies adjust for the fact that you tend to have better developers on agile projects - either because better developers tend to push for Agile or because Agile tends to attract better developers.
In my opinion, Agile methods help create an environment in which excellent programmers want to work. Because they are part of the process, because they are allowed to use their brains, etc.
At a business level, that is really the justification - everything else is all very well and good, but this is the one thing that matters to the bottom line and the one thing you can sell up the chain. It is well known that really good developers are many times more productive than average developers, but they don't cost many times more. So, if you can attract and retain really good developers you get more output for the same money. Oh, and you'll have a lot more fun in the process.
Better environment => Better Developers => More successful projects
One word of caution; If you happen to have a team of average developers with no obvious bright sparks, I would be concerned about implementing Agile. At least, don't expect it to solve your problems - you are likely to get the same kind of results (after the bedding-in period), though with the benefits of the burndown. But Agile depends on having really good developers who really know what they are doing and who are constantly updating their skills - or at least a team that includes some people like that. Agile was invented by a bunch of guys who are legendary programmers and very, very smart people.
Others said that Scrum gives us "Happy developers", and "Motivated developers". To me that is the most striking observation. I disagree with the opinion that Scrum merely amplifies the (elite/bad) programmers' performances: In my experience it consistently improves developer performance.
Why, well:
Notice that these are not 'technical' but very 'emotional'. I think this is "happy". After all this, the only route toward increasing your happiness e*ven more* is to try and become a better programmer... which I see happening again and again.
To summarize:
Scrum makes developers reach higher, perform better, with intrinsic enjoyment.
One reason I like Agile is that it allows you to fail faster, sooner, cheaper (meaning, if the project is going to blow up, you'll find out about it a lot faster).
The biggest example of Scrum over waterfall? Near-daily visibility into project status/progress, or the lack thereof. Most waterfall projects are cheerfully stated to be on track until very close to a checkpoint/phase gate... and then they're discovered to be late by some unknown amount. With Scrum you always know where you stand, and you get visibility into problems early enough so that you can actually do something about it. Best of all, Scrum project status tracking is much easier than waterfall project status tracking, and inherently more accurate since the unit of measure is remaining functionality instead of hours worked.
That the team embraces change without all the trauma associated with change control processes in Waterfall.
There is a clear advantage of Agile approach over Waterfall methodology. to me Agile and Waterfall approach are the two different methodologies of software development. In agile method, the entire module is divided into small sub module and the developemnt is done in a quick and modular manner rather than the entire big module as in case of Waterfall model. In Agile method, Changes to the design and the requirement can be accomodated easily where as its difficult in case of Waterfall. The time to market is also very quick in Agile unlike of Waterfall model. Agile methodology reduces the testing cycle.

I am hunting for a 90s era steel frame as a platform for a super Clyde bike. Heavy duty frame, ultra high spoke count ans so on.
Any sugestions as to other features I should ibclude?
I found a co-op in my area that looks good. If I find a CL or yard sale bike or build one on a co-op frame it looks to be a great source of tech support and a way to learn more about keeping a bike in tune.
I will give my self till the 2nd week in Jan to find something in the wild and if no joy then go for a co-op build.
I would think that CL would get a influx of older bikes after Christmas.
If I am hunting a 90s era steel frame no shocks (MTB?) are there any brands or model I shood keep an eye out for? I have been told of a
Trek 700-800s
Trek 520
Specialized Hardrock
Surly Long Haul Trucker
Please suggest others?

As the administrative services intern, my days consist of uploading journal entries into the accounting reporting system, reviewing and approving staff and committee expense reports, and assisting with accounts receivable uploads and reports. Another example is my participation in the audit process of three conferences later this year.."

LAFAYETTE — Changes to times and routes of Lafayette Transit System buses take effect Monday in an effort to make the routes more accessible and efficient.
The changes have been planned for several months, primarily based on the number of riders on each route.
"This shift will result in increased bus service on Johnston Street, which fulfills one of the goals of PlanLafayette — to increase transit service along targeted corridors," Kevin Blanchard, Lafayette Consolidated Government chief development officer, said in a news release. "This also dovetails well with our proposed bus lease with UL. Students and faculty can ride for free, and there is now even more transit access to UL and downtown down the Johnston Street corridor."
The university may lease up to five buses to add to its fleet, to provide its students transit services to and from its main campus. The agreement with the university will be considered by the council during its Aug. 19 meeting.
City officials suggested passengers plan for minor delays during the first few days of the changes.
"The first couple of weeks we often see some glitches, and we ask for our riders' patience. We are confident that the revised routes will be able to serve our existing customers better and be able to attract new riders to the service because of increased convenience and efficiency," Mike Mitchell, city transit and parking manager, said in the news release.
Riders will notice minor changes on four routes — 15, 55, 65 and 70 — and changes to start and circulation times on the following routes:

SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- In a move expected to spark controversy, conservative lawmakers and the defense ministry are pushing to revive a military service law ruled unconstitutional 14 years ago that gave incentives to job seekers with a military background, a ministry official said Tuesday.
All able-bodied South Korean men are obligated to serve in the military for at least two years as the country still remains at war with North Korea after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a ceasefire. Most of them are in their early 20s and are forced to delay their studies to join the armed forces.
Under the original law, male applicants with military backgrounds had received additional points on exams required when applying for most jobs in South Korea. However, the law was ruled unconstitutional in 1999, as it was considered discriminatory against women and the disabled.
Since then, conservative lawmakers have proposed alternative bills to give extra points to job seekers with military experience, but they faced staunch opposition from women's rights groups and civic activists.
In November 2011, a group of 12 lawmakers led by Rep. Han Ki-ho of the ruling Saenuri Party submitted a revision bill to grant extra points equivalent to 2 percent of the total score on exams for government organizations, civilian employee positions in military installations, schools, private companies and organizations.
Considering the past law was ruled unconstitutional due to excessive benefits, the pending bill limits the number of people who can pass the exam with additional points to below 20 percent of the total number of job openings.
While the legislative subcommittee for the parliamentary defense committee is expected to review the bill during this month's special session, the defense ministry will submit an alternative revision that reduces the total number of incentive beneficiaries below 10 percent of job openings and limits the total number and period of incentives with a presidential decree, the ministry official said.
"The defense ministry will push to adopt the incentive system to compensate soldiers who serve the country," said Lee Nam-woo, who takes charge of the ministry's welfare department. "We are currently reviewing the revision bill, and will draw up a detailed plan after closely consulting with related agencies, including the Ministry of Gender Equality and the Ministry of Security and Public Administration."
As the gender equality ministry opposes to the incentive system citing the rights of women and the disabled, Lee said both sides will have to find a middle ground that can compensate those who served for the country in a range that does not excessively infringe upon the rights of others.
"As this issue needs social consensus, we will prepare various alternative plans and discuss with opponents the alternatives," Lee said, noting the ministry will submit a proposal to parliament later this month.

Ice Womb is a Geometric Warming Hut for Chilly Ice Skaters
Posted By Lori Zimmer On November 26, 2012 @ 2:01 pm In Architecture | No Comments
Winter weather is upon us, and everyone's favorite cold weather pastime, ice skating, is taking over ponds and rinks across the world. Virginia Melnyk's Ice Womb offers a place to warm up fingers and faces when skating outdoors on a frozen waterway. The geometric cube structure blends with the iridescence of the ice on the outside, but it's interior is a deep, warm red.
Melnyk designed Ice Womb's exterior to harmonize with the natural magic of the winter landscape. The glistening façade mirrors [2] the snow and ice of the frozen lake or pond it is placed near, extending the winter wonderland created after a crisp snowfall. From afar the cold weather respite can blend seamlessly into the winterscape, appearing as an oasis when skaters get closer to the structure.
After a few spins around the ice, skaters can take a breather and warm up their noses in the comfort of Ice Womb. Contrasting from the frozen scenery outsid [3]e, the glowing womb is cozy and inviting. A red cavern like space welcomes visitors through entrances on all sides of the cubes. Inside, skaters can take a rest and lounge in different cut outs in the plush red interior. Areas for standing, sitting, lounging and reclining are created on each of the four facades, and connect in the interior.
Plush red pillows line each area of the interior, creating a supported and comfy place [4] to sit with friends before taking to the ice again. Melnyk's Ice Womb is a pop up warming hut [5] that could bring warmth to frozen waters in any region.

New London — The City Council voted 4-3 Monday night to end the city's appeal of a state mediation board decision and rehire a police officer who had been fired for shooting the unarmed driver of a stolen ice truck.
The narrow decision to rehire Officer Thomas Northup comes after months of executive sessions by the City Council and against the wishes of Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio.
Finizio fired Northup on March 22, 2012, for "use of excessive and unreasonable force," following an internal investigation into the Aug. 24, 2011, shooting of Curtis Cunningham. It was determined through an internal investigation by the police department that Northup made a premature and unauthorized decision to use deadly force.
But the state Board of Mediation and Arbitration said the city did not present credible evidence to establish that Northup's use of force was "not objectively reasonable or that it was excessive," or prove that Northup knew that the suspect did not have a gun. Not only did the board order Northup's reinstatement but said he should be compensated for lost pay.
Finizio maintains the board's decision was "terrible … and fundamentally and legally flawed."
"I maintain that it is not only appropriate but imperative an officer found to have violated department policies on the use of deadly force be separated from their employment with the city," Finizio said Monday. "I still wholeheartedly agree with the appeal … however, this decision is ultimately not mine or the police administration's alone to make. The council has rendered its decision, and I respect the decision they reached."
Finizio said he would order Northup's immediate return to the department. It was unclear Monday night if Northup will receive back pay.
Court filings in the case show the two sides were in the middle of some type of settlement talks. Finizio declined to comment.
Council President Wade Hyslop, who voted to continue the appeal, has said it was within the city's legal right.
Hyslop and councilors Erica Richardson and Efrain Dominguez voted against ending the appeal. Councilors Anthony Nolan, Michael Passero, Martin Olsen and Michael Tranchida voted to end the appeal.
Passero has maintained the city was violating its contractual agreement by challenging the arbitrator's decision. He said Monday he understood the appeal was initiated in part to preserve the city's options but he was never in favor of it.
Nolan called it a challenging decision, but "in the best interests of the city."
Olsen said he felt strongly that the state board clearly outlined the issue and that the city was in the wrong for firing Northup. He said it was financially and morally the right thing to do to let Northup back to work.
Northup shot Curtis Cunningham four times on Aug. 24, 2011, following a chase through the city that led to a crash. Cunningham was standing in the overturned truck when Northup yelled for him to "drop the weapon," before Northup fired five shots. Northup told investigators he believed Cunningham had a gun and Cunningham had refused to remove his hands from his under his shirt.
Cunningham later tested positive for PCP, according to police reports. Cunningham, who was 27 at the time of the shooting, has filed a federal lawsuit against the city and Northup. He pleaded guilty in January to his involvement in stealing the ice truck. He was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended after three months served and two years' probation.

TCA Press tour wrap-up: Winners and Losers - From 'Jersey Shore' to Conan

Loser: FOX executives and 'American Idol'
If Paul Lee had the right way of saying nothing at all, FOX's top executives were stuck in a less winnable position when it came to the "American Idol" rumors that swirled all week.
Obviously, Peter Rice and Kevin Reilly would have loved to use their press tour session as a grand coronation for possible new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez (if rumors are correct). Instead, all they could do was repeat over and over and over again that no announcement would be made until deals have actually been signed.
Legally, Rice and Reilly had no choice.
Theatrically, it was a major missed opportunity and the increasingly terse "No comments" from Rice were a poor substitute.

Alison (guest)"Loser: The absent David Schwimmer" should be "Loser: dumbass reporter who asked actor about a former co-stars (from seven years ago) career in front of a crowd."
this feels like a 'really with seth and amy' kind of moment.
You are going to ask Matthew Perry - seven years, 1 series and a successful guess spot, removed about Friends - AGAIN! Really?
In front of the panel from the new show? Really? (i'm sure his new co-stars are already tired of 'friends' talk)
and you are going to bring up the success of the other "friends" as if there is a scale (btw, on a scale, I would put Courteney on top - Jennifer gets the media, but hasn't made a good movie in a while) Really?!?
and you didn't even look David up on IMBD to see what he is up to? (I did - Turns out that he just completed directing a movie with Clive Owen and Catherine Keener. That's pretty decent star power. ) Really?
I think Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are actually the winners here.
Matthew - because it reminded me why I like him - he is a decent guy but doesn't mind making an ignorant, insensitive idiot look like one
David - the incident led people (like me ) to look him up on IMBD. It reminded me that he directed Run, Fat Boy, Run (which I liked) and now I'll look forward to the new movie (Trust).August 11, 2010 at 2:03PM ESTReply to Comment
Salinger (guest)What's the rationale for the slide show? Reminds me of EW.com - and not in a good way.August 11, 2010 at 6:48PM ESTReply to Comment
danSalinger - Rationale? Editorial, plus photos built around a theme. That wasn't so complicated at all!
-DanielAugust 11, 2010 at 7:13PM EST
AndrewThe slide shows are awful on so many levels. We know what these people look like. Give us the text.August 11, 2010 at 7:39PM EST
SalingerThank you for replying. My question was why slide show over blog post?
I wondered if there is a business reason...readers click more and are required to stay on the site longer.
For the record, I'm in favor of editorial built around a theme all on one page... no clicks, more user friendly.August 11, 2010 at 8:52PM EST
danSalinger- The reality is that clicks rule the online world. That's why CNNSI.com does slide shows and why EW.com does slideshows and why most sites in-between do slideshows. Given those realities, all I *try* to do is, at the very least, make the text good enough to justify the click-throughs.
On a side note, as text-only, this gallery would have been a REALLY long slab of text. Commenter Andrew said "We know what these people look like," but with a very few exceptions, these are all photos from the press tour itself. They're images from an event...
-DanielAugust 11, 2010 at 9:04PM EST
Thanks for the honest answer about the slides, I don't mind them, I just wish they loaded a bit faster. and I just bought my computer less then a month ago,so it shouldn't be so slow. then again, I pretty much break computers by being in the same room as them, so it's probably my fault it's slow.August 11, 2010 at 10:28PM EST
velocityknownDan I usually like your slides, but really? David Schwimmer listed under losers? Like Perry said just because he's not on TV doesn't mean he's not doing well in other mediums, like directing.
He was a member of the cast of Nothing But the Truth which was critically acclaimed but had released issues. He directed Run Fatboy Run as well as upcoming film starring Clive Owen, Trust.
He was also in a theatre production of Our Town and his performance as George Gibbs was very well received.
I'd say that Schwimmer has been far more successful than LeBlanc since Friends ended. And Matthew Perry did an amazing and totally classy job of beating that reporter back when all they were trying to do is bait him into insulting or saying something bad about his former 'Friend'.
Also while the title of S*** My Dad Says has generated from controversy and while the show probably is pretty terrible, any publicity like this is probably good publicity (which is why CBS is sticking by it). Also the Parents Television Council has something to say about every vulgar or crude show (South Park, Family Guy, etc). When was the last time they actually accomplished anything besides bringing new attention and viewership to a show and strengthening the resolve of people who weren't going to watch that show to begin with?
Also anything that draws more viewers for Jersey Shore is automatically a loser in my book.August 11, 2010 at 6:57PM ESTReply to Comment
danVelocityKnown - It's not so much that Schwimmer is a "loser" in general so much that in his absence he was put in the position to be the Absent Friends Whipping Boy. Like I said in the previous slide, if LeBlanc hadn't been present and mostly well-received, Schwimmer never would have had to fill that role... He'll be fine...

AlanSchwimmer wasn't the whipping boy. Like Allison said, it was the loser.
Schwimmer got press on what he is doing now, press he would not have otherwise gotten.August 11, 2010 at 7:42PM EST
velocityknownApologies, must've missed that. I guess I'd like to nominate The People Who Look For A Friends Whipping Boy for the loser category. But I am glad to see LeBlanc making a good career move after a couple missteps with Joey and small Charlie's Angels appearances.
By the way, I am a huge fan of the slideshows, even if I don't completely agree with some of the opinions on them. Plus, unlike a lot of sites, these slideshows actually run very smoothly.
I know you did one for Emmy category nominations but do you think you'll have one for your predicted winners? Something I'd look forward to.August 11, 2010 at 10:24PM EST

The Unmaking of the American Working Class
A searingly candid account of work and class in America from the author of How to Tell When You're Tired.
Drawing on his experiences as a veteran longshoreman and fruit tramp, Reg Theriault, author of How to Tell When You're Tired, which Robert Heilbroner called "extraordinary," describes the blue-collar culture and ethics that have defined America, and explains why they are worth preserving in the face of globalization and downsizing.
The Unmaking of the American Working Class tells the story behind the disappearance of blue-collar work in America, giving both a humorous picture of working-class labor and a devastating indictment of the forces that threaten it. Whether Republican or Democratic, every administration since World War II has fostered the destruction of large segments of the blue-collar working class. Theriault maintains that America is the poorer for such action, and argues that our society doesn't need to destroy this vital part of itself. Written for all workers, whatever color their collars, The Unmaking of the American Working Class takes a fresh look at the politics of work and its place in our society.

text: After wrestling with my Triumph TBird/Velorex Hack for 6 months, I finally broke down and bought a Leading Link from England. Received it Friday, and started putting it together today. It appears quite robust, with a good powdercoat finish. Some of the wording on the one page instruction sheet was a bit odd however: Unit leading link forks will replace your existing telescopic forks with no modification. However a small amount of fitting skill may be required if caliper mounts are on the extreme of manufacturers limits. I read this thinking, well, maybe I might have to use my file or dremmel for a bit. After all, calipers and fork tubes are all aluminum castings, so how far can something be off MAYBE a sixteenth of an inch? If that? Wrong. Seems this catchall note is a sorry excuse for lack of trial fit or jig integrity See the attached pic, sorry quality that it is. The welded tabs for the calipers are off by almost 3/8, for both right and left calipers. There is no way to drill and tap the caliper bracket, because it is not big enough; the hole would be in air. Conversely, I cannot redrill the steel swingarm tabs because they are not wide, or long enough; I would need the tabs to be almost one-half inch wider, and at least a quarter inch longer. There is also NOT room between the swingarm tab and the caliper to fabricate an intermediate adapter plate. This may be trivial to the gurus who build their own subframes and carriers in their garages; I have a lot of respect for you guys. But this is a royal pita to me. I spent almost $1800, and waited almost 2 months, because my welding talents are non-existent, as is my garage. I want to ride the bike, I just dont have time to learn how to build it from bare steel parts. At this point, the only solution I can see is to take it apart, cut off the tabs, cut/fit/grind new ones (on my patio, using hand tools!) that are wider and longer, and then cart the wheel/swingarm over to the welders shop and re-damn-weld the thing, an dthen paint black to try and match the powdercoat. I know these are low volume, semi custom things. But I find that note insulting. Im supposed to accept that because of manufacturers limits I now need to spend more $ and more time to do what I paid them for? I would bet my paycheck that I could purchase 20, or 50 Nissen calipers for a 1995 to 2002 Thunderbird from the dealer or ebay, and they would all bolt up to the stock forks. What is with these people?? I have not yet called the Unit guy on this issue. Our email conversations have been difficult since inception. They are apparently so busy that they do not have time to communicate with customers. As I said in my last email to him, I have never had to work so hard to give someone my money I really dont feel like dealing with them anymore. Sorry for the rant. But now it looks like our Christmas sidecar trip is off, which made the wife real happy and all because those asshats would not spend 5 minutes and do a trial fit before they send something half way around the world As an interesting side note, the box was packaged very well. As I was unwrapping the newspaper like padding, I noticed it was a bike newspaper, with a review of the new Honda CB 750 (??) . They are using bike newspapers from 1976 to ship the stuff here!! I spent about an hour reading race reports with Mike Hailwood, Ake Jonsson, and looking at ads for Jawa CZ, Bultaco 125s, even found a crinkled pic of a Norton 750 WASP sidecar! If I can figure a way to flatten it and get a photo I will try and post. It was literally like stepping back in time D*mn. Just noticed that I cannot post a pic anymore. Whats up with this?

During the auction phase, bidders purchase as many tickets as they
would like and place them in designated containers in front of the

bidding, a raffle is held where a winning ticket is drawn for each item.
Participants may increase their chance of winning by bidding more
tickets on one specific item.
Our tickets also have a door
prize stub which allows another raffle for which only one ticket per
sheet may be submitted giving everyone equal opportunity to win.
Color Options include Blue, Cosmic Orange, Green, Light Pink, Orchid, Pulsar Pink, Red & Yellow.

Hundreds of local churches are involved in "Greg Laurie: Seattle Harvest," an evangelical outreach event at KeyArena Friday through Sunday that organizers hope will draw 42,000 people.
The last time California megachurch pastor Greg Laurie was in Seattle 18 years ago, about 12,000 people attended his Billy Graham Crusade-style gatherings over three days at Memorial Stadium.
This Friday through Sunday, event organizers hope to draw some 42,000 folks over three nights to KeyArena for "Greg Laurie: Seattle Harvest."
It's a sign of the growth not only of the Laurie outreach events, now in their 21st year, but in the size and number of Seattle's evangelical churches, nearly 300 of which have signed on to bring Laurie here or publicize the event.
"The climate here in our city was ripe," said one of the lead local organizers, Senior Pastor Wayne Taylor of Calvary Fellowship in Mountlake Terrace. "There are so many churches throughout the region that are really flourishing and new and younger churches that weren't here when we last did it."
- Husky guide on UW cheerleading tryouts goes global
- CEO makes fiery emails about Muslims part of the workday
- Look like this, not that: UW pulls cheerleader-tryout advice after angry backlash
- Oh smack: Garbage truck hits Alaskan Way Viaduct
- Seahawks get high grades for drafting of Jarran Reed, while reaction to other picks a little more varied
Most Read Stories
Still, organizers face challenges, including an economy that's made fundraising tough and a headliner whose name isn't as familiar to most, as say, Graham's.
Laurie, 57, is founder and pastor of the nondenominational Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., which draws about 15,000 weekly.
Since 1990, he has brought his "Harvest Crusades" to three to five cities a year, speaking to more than 4.1 million people, according to his organization.
In Seattle, each night will follow a similar format: 90 minutes to two hours of music, speakers and a sermon from Laurie.
Friday night is geared to all ages, with musicians including Jeremy Camp and the Katinas. Saturday night has a youth focus, with bands including Kutlass and Revive. Sunday night focuses on sorrow, loss and hope, with Laurie talking about his son, Christopher, who died in an automobile accident in 2008; and guest Nick Vujicic, a man born with no arms or legs. Musicians Sunday include MercyMe and Jars of Clay.
All three nights are free and open to the public.
Organizers hope to reach many who don't already attend church — though gatherings of this type are "by and large, speaking to the faithful," said Jeff Keuss, professor of Christian ministry, theology and culture at Seattle Pacific University.
But perhaps just as important, organizers say, this is the first time many of the evangelical churches here have had the chance to work together on something of this scale.
At Taylor's church, some 400 people have gone through the Harvest Crusades' volunteer training, and church members have been inviting friends, neighbors and co-workers to the event.
Still, challenges remain.
Organizers are about $200,000 short of the $730,000 fundraising goal, though that could change with the offerings collected at KeyArena over the weekend.
And though several hundred churches have expressed interest in the Laurie event, participation levels vary. Some churches merely display fliers about the event; others — about 100 churches — have members who have signed on as volunteers for the event or have committed to holding follow-up classes for new Christians.
Laurie recognizes that the Seattle area has a large percentage of people who don't identify with any particular religion, and the weekend's events are designed so such people can "give us a clear hearing," said John Collins, executive director of Harvest Crusades.
But organizers hope the event will have an impact beyond this weekend.
"We have to leave behind a group of churches that will follow up on people who inquire about what it means to be Christian," Collins said.

One of Tim "Barrel Man" McKernan's favorite sayings to get Broncos fans riled up during home games was "Bronco Country . . . give me the thunder!"
On Saturday, McKernan's family, friends, former Broncos players, cheerleaders and fans were dressed in orange and blue to do just that. Except this time it was to honor the memory of the super Broncos fan when they gathered at a memorial service at the Greek theater in Civic Center.
McKernan, 69, died Dec. 5 at his Denver home from incurable lung disease.
Barrel Man, who became one of the Broncos' most-recognized and popular fans for wearing nothing except a barrel, cowboy boots and cowboy hat during Broncos games, was given superfan status when Saturday was proclaimed "Tim McKernan Day" by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. He also was recognized by the Colorado House of Representatives, which honored him for his charitable work in the community.
"No matter what the temperature, what the score, he was always positive," said former Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith. "He had heart and soul, and I'll never forget him."
A large poster of McKernan — along with an empty orange barrel, his orange-and-blue cowboy boots and a cowboy hat — served as backdrop for the memorial service that drew nearly 100 Broncos fans, a handful of other rabid NFL fans and tourists who stopped to check out the scene.
Judy Renner, a.k.a. "Bronco Mama," knew McKernan for 20 years; they met in the notoriously rowdy and loud south stands at the old Mile High Stadium.
"Tim was classy. He exemplified the ultimate Bronco fan," Renner said.
McKernan's family paid a loving tribute to him, with one granddaughter reciting poetry and an older brother, Dean, a teacher, recalling a time when Tim would go to his school in San Diego and lead pep rallies for his students.
"He could really get those kids going," Dean McKernan said.
Others who shared memories of McKernan were members of the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association, which included rabid fans from the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and Indianapolis Colts.
"Everybody loved him, and it wasn't an issue that he was a Broncos fan, they just wanted to meet him," said Raider Ron, a.k.a. Ron Rickard.
After Miles the Broncos mascot danced along with Broncos cheerleaders, the crowd stood and gave Barrel Man a traditional Mile High Salute.
"He would have been very excited seeing fans from many teams showing up and those who just love football," said Todd, Barrel Man's son. "I'm sure he's looking down on us and smiling."
