Lemongrass tea is perhaps the most popular use of lemongrass herb. It's delicious hot and cold, and it combines well with many other herbs in herbal tea blends.
Botanical name: Cymbopogon citratus (DC. ex Nees) Stapf
Botanical Family: Poaceae
Common name: Lemongrass
Synonyms: West Indian lemongrass, fever grass, Andropogon citrates, sweet grass, citron grass, hierba de limon (Spanish)
The Plant: Lemongrass is indeed a perennial grass. It grows in large, dense clumps and has thick stems at the base that resolve into long, broad, green, aromatic leaves that taper to points.
Lemongrass is cultivated in tropical areas in Central and South America, Africa, China, Australia, the West Indies and the southern United States. Lemongrass likes full sun and moist soils, and it cannot stand frost. The plants are propagated by division of the rhizomes. Having been cultivated for centuries, the origin of the herb is unknown, as no wild plants have been found still in existence.
The genus, Cympobogon, contains 56 different species, all with fragrant leaves. Included are the citronellas (Ceylon and Java citronella) from which the popular essential oil of the same name is distilled and palmarosa, another important essential oil species. Another lemongrass species, Cymbopogon flexuosus, or East Indian lemongrass, is used much like West Indian lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus).
Lemongrass can be harvested starting six weeks after planting. The plant re-grows quickly and can be harvested up to four times a year. The whole plant is cut to the ground, and the stalks are then dried quickly to protect the delicate flavor and aroma of the herb.
Constituents of Note: The essential oil, present at 0.2 to 0.5%, is the significant constituent. The oil is comprised of 65 to 85% citral (aka neral and geraniol), common to many lemon-scented herbs. Much of the lemongrass grown is distilled into essential oil for its citral content, which is used in perfumery and as a starting point for the synthesis of Vitamin A.
Other constituents of lemongrass essential oil are myrcene and linalool.
The leaves also produce a good quality cellulose fiber that is sometimes used in paper-making.
Quality: Lemongrass herb has a spicy, lemony aroma and lemon-like, herbaceous flavor that is not tart or acidic like lemons. The leaves are a light green, with less than 10% yellow leaf parts.
Regulatory Status: GRAS (Title 21 182.20) as a natural flavoring, Dietary Supplement
Did you know? One of the American traditions that embraced the use of lemongrass is that of "Hoodoo" or "Vodoun." Practiced by former slaves in the southeastern United States, this folk system was based on West African magical and medicinal herbalism. Included as one of the powerful hoodoo grasses, lemongrass was used in many ways, including in cleansing preparations and purification rituals. Lemongrass is also traditionally used in formulas for opening the vision or making one more receptive to spiritual messages.
Suggested Uses: Lemongrass herb is best known for its use as a tasty tea, by itself or in combination with other herbs. It makes an ideal, appetite-promoting, before-dinner tea, as well as a tummy-soothing, after-the-meal tea.
The tea is also a part of the folk medicine of many of the countries where it is grown. It is considered a cooling tea, and it is also helps soothe a restless state. Combining lemongrass with equal parts of lemon balm and lemon verbena to make a tea gives a full range of lemony goodness, whether served hot or cold. Lemongrass also combines well with the mints, especially spearmint and apple mint, and with other tart herbs, such as rosehips and hibiscus.
Lemongrass is also a good flavor addition to herb formulas, especially in those where it can act as a supportive herb to the formula while adding flavor.
The flavor of lemongrass is indispensable in Thai, Sri Lankan, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malaysian and Cambodian cooking. The base of the fleshy stalk is what is typically used, smashed to release the oil and break-up the fibers, then chopped fresh and added to soups, stir-fries, curries and seafood dishes.
Dried lemongrass leaves are less potent than the fresh stalks, and, due to their tough nature, they don't make a simple one-to-one substitute for fresh lemongrass in most recipes. However, the dried lemongrass herb is more readily available and can be used in many dishes. For liquids such as soups and stews, you can tie the dried lemongrass in a muslin cloth (or bag), then remove it after the dish is cooked, much like a bay leaf. Or strain out the spent leaves before serving in sauces and in marinades. Another option is to grind the lemongrass into fine pieces before adding to dishes. As a guideline, use one tablespoon of dried lemongrass herb for every stalk of fresh called for in the recipe.
Lemongrass is also used in creams, lotions, hair care and skin cleansing preparations. Its astringent properties make it popular for use in products for oily hair or skin.
Like its cousin citronella, lemongrass oil is used in bug-deterrent sprays and makes a pleasant room fragrance spray.
Caution/Safety: The Botanical Safety Handbook* classifies lemongrass as:
Class: 2b Herbs not to be used during pregnancy.

Origins: Lemongrass is cultivated in tropical areas in Central and South America, Africa, China, Australia, the West Indies and the southern United States. Our certified organic lemongrass is grown by members of a small farmer co-op in Sri Lanka and our non-organic lemongrass herb comes from Thailand.
Meet Our Grower: In 2009 we received our first shipment of organic lemongrass from our Well Earth supplier in Sri Lanka. We were very impressed with the quality, and, starting in 2010, began contracting for our full year's supply of organic lemongrass herb.
The lemongrass is grown by a co-op of small farmers who are working together to establish a prosperous and sustainable farming community that will enhance the socioeconomic standards of its members. Another tenant of the co-op is that it operates fairly, without racial, gender, and religious discrimination. Since the co-op encompasses different ethnic communities with a variety of microclimates and crops, respecting diversity is very important. Women play an equal role in the organization.
Some of the endeavors of the co-op include learning how to grow new cash crops, drinking water projects to bring potable water to the villages, and the distribution of planting stock and livestock such as goats and cows.
Lemongrass is only one of the ten botanicals we purchase from our Well Earth partner in Sri Lanka. But because of their commitment to economic, social and environmental sustainability -- as well as the quality of their products -- we continuously work with them to identify other crops they might provide.

Dazzling Davies
Kyle Davies pitched arguably his best game as a Royal – if not his career – last night. As he dominated the Mariner hitters, the Royals got on the board and secured a solid victory.
Last night was an example of how the Royals want to win ballgames. Strong starting pitching, followed by a shut down bullpen and then an offense which will get the job done. To look at how that happened last night, let's go Around the Horn…
He's had two other eight strikeout efforts and he's had two other eight inning games (one complete game). He's also held opponents scoreless before. But Kyle Davies had never brought all of those elements together in one outing before last night.
The other impressive number about Davies' four-hitter? Zero walks. He didn't walk anyone, something he has not done this season. In fact he's only recorded two other walkless starts, both of which were less than six innings.
Davies retired the first 12 batters he faced until Jose Lopez singled to lead off the fifth inning. Davies also combated another problem he's had this season. He kept his pitch count low. He threw 98 pitches during his eight innings of work.
Manager Trey Hillman called Davies performance the best he's seen.
Jose Guillen has hit in a career-high 13 games. Since his career started in 1997, he hadn't hit in 13 straight, but he's on that kind of a roll now.
Maybe more impressively, he has nine multi-hit games during his current hitting streak, including a 2-for-4 night last night with a double and a run scored.
Guillen is hitting .418, banging seven doubles and two homers with 12 RBI during his 13-game streak. He's also scored six runs. With his recent surge, he has repositioned himself for a shot at 100 RBI and if he stays hot, he'll have a chance to eclipse his career high of 104 (set in 2003). His 2003 season is his only 100-plus RBI season, though he reached 99 last year in Seattle.
The slugger leads the Royals in hits (147), doubles (40), homers (20), RBI (93), total bases (249) and multi-hit games (44).
One strikeout is all the Club needs to tie its single-season record. The 1990 pitching staff fanned 1,006 batters compared to this season's 1,005, which is the sixth-highest total in the American League this season…Alberto Callaspo also has a career-high hitting streak going at nine games…Ryan Shealy has reached base in seven of his eight games and is hitting .387…Mike Aviles has scored nine runs during his seven-game hitting streak and is one of five Royals with over 60 runs this season…David DeJesus snapped a 127-game errorless streak with his throwing error in the sixth…Mark Teahen is hitting .338 since August 27 with nine extra base hits…From Trey Hillman's pregame press conference: "Nothing is more powerful to the atmosphere than winning," Hillman said in response to the environment in the Royals clubhouse before today's game (the lights were dimmed, music was pumping and some players were dancing)…Also: "Pitching is as contagious as hitting," Hillman said voicing his hopes for Brandon Duckworth's start tonight following last night's four-hit shutout.
How can you beat the deal we got going here tonight? $3 tickets and a long-sleeve tee upon entering.
Tomorrow, the 17th, of course is Halfway to St. Paddy's. Flannigan's Right Hook will be on hand to play before the game starts and get the crowd primed.
Plenty of other great promotions are left this week and there are just six home games including tonight's ballgame. You should come out and join the fun.
Also: The Royals will be announcing their 2009 home schedule (no game times) tomorrow at noon. Keep an eye out for that!
Today's lineup:
DeJesus CF
Aviles SS
Guillen RF
Shealy 1B
Teahen LF

The Katadyn Group is moving its Headquarters
September 03, 2012
Nearly two years to the day after breaking ground, Katadyn Products Inc. is moving into its new headquarters in Kemptthal, near Zürich, Switzerland, in mid-September. The modern production facility is an investment in the future of The Katadyn Group and an answer to increased demand for Katadyn treatment products for drinking water. Constant growth in recent years has lead to the company busting at the seams at its current location in Wallisellen. The new 8,500-square-meter (91,500-square-foot) compound includes manufacturing halls, warehouses and offices, and satisfies the demand for sustainable and environmentally sound production. Despite price pressures, The Katadyn Group has made a conscious decision to continue production of its water-treatment products in Switzerland in order to maintain delivery to its customers in the future of products with the expected first-class "Made in Switzerland" quality.
As of Monday, Sept. 17, 2012, Katadyn will begin production and can be reached at its new headquarters:

Knowing how to find and organize your files and folders is essential for using your computer successfully. This demo takes you through the basics. You'll learn how to get to frequently used folders, create new folders, save files to folders, and find your files quickly.
Just like a filing cabinet, your computer allows you to store the files you create in folders. Those folders can hold not only files, but also other folders.
The Start menu provides access to several folders that you can use to organize your files, including the Documents, Pictures, and Music folders. Let's open the Pictures folder.
Notice how the Address bar identifies the folder we're in. The files contained in this folder are shown as icons here, in the file list. You can change the size of the icons using the Views button. Let's make them a little bigger.
When you select a file, you can see information about it in the Details pane, here. As your number of files increases, you might want to create new folders for your different projects. To create a new folder, click the Organize button, click New Folder, and then type a name for the folder.
To move a file to it, drag the file to the folder. Open the folder by double-clicking it. You can click the Back button to return to the previous folder.
If you think you'll use a folder frequently, drag it to the Favorite Links area. These links let you open folders quickly, no matter which folder you're currently in.
Now that you know how to work with folders, let's see how to save a file. When you create a file, such as a report, you can save it by using the File menu. This program saves files in the Documents folder, but you can pick another location if you prefer. Type a name for the file here, and then click Save.
To see the file we just saved, let's open the Documents folder. Here it is.
If you're having trouble finding a file, you can use this box to search the current folder. Type anything you can remember about the file, such as part of its name. Notice how the search results appear as you type. These first three files have names that contain the search term. This last file appears as a result because text inside the file matches the search term.
If you don't know which folder to search, you can use the Start menu to search instead. Type in the Search box, and then click a result to open it.
Now you know the basics of working with files and folders.

Editorial: Just ridiculous
Published: Friday, March 21, 2014 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 5:51 p.m.
We'd like to thank City Councilman Brent Malever for summing up the city's 2½-year legal standoff with the Marion County School Board over fire and stormwater fees so succinctly, so perfectly. In fact, Malever put it in a word.
Ridiculous is exactly what this charade has become. The city claims the school district owes it more than $1.1 million in back fire fees and stormwater assessments. Meanwhile, the School Board contends because it is a sovereign government entity, it is exempt from paying another government entity for services provided.
Early on, the dispute was worthy of debate. But since October 2011 the School Board has been intransigent, arrogantly refusing repeated requests from City Council members to sit down and try and negotiate a resolution.
Malever is just the latest city father to approach the School Board, noting at Tuesday's City Council meeting that the two bodies so far have spent more than $200,000 in legal fees on the lawsuit ... and gotten virtually nowhere.
"I am a taxpayer," he told fellow council members. "I pay both to the city and to the School Board, and it's my money."
No doubt most city taxpayers feel the same.
What seems to escape the School Board, in particular, is that fire and rescue services and stormwater engineering and infrastructure all cost money, and if the schools do not at least contribute to paying for their share of those costs, someone will have to do it for them. Lest they need reminding, that will ultimately be the taxpayers, and those taxpayers are their taxpayers, too.
What was particularly disturbing was the response Malever got from School Board Chairman Bobby James to his request for a sit-down between the boards "includes not an inkling of an effort, or appreciation, to bring this to a resolution and in a timely manner."
While fellow City Council members John McLeod, Jim Hilty and Jay Musleh all indicated an interest in meeting with the School Board, they all stopped short of supporting Malever's motion to stop legal action against the School Board.
That's all fine and well, but so far the only people who are benefiting from this juvenile, six-figure school-yard squabble are the lawyers. The city's contested bill continues to grow, and the School Board's constant referring to its lawyer's advice makes it look incapable of speaking for itself, let alone their constituents, and even more incapable of solving problems. These all are people who know each other, who represent the same taxpayers, and they refuse to have a conversation.
Sadly, the School Board looks like a free-loading bully who, at this point, is getting its way by not having to pay the $847,000 in back fire fees or the $262,000 in back stormwater fees, while the city looks insincere in its willingness to negotiate a resolution by not offering some sort of proposed compromise. And why? Because, in both cases, their lawyers said so — the same excuse we have been hearing for 2½ years.

PCC in the News
News: Season Revived For Men's Soccer, Upset 4-Time State Champ Mt. SAC, 5-2
Trailing 2-0 late in the first half Tuesday, the Pasadena City College men's soccer team appeared on its way to a second straight South Coast Conference loss at Robinson Stadium. With four-time defending CCCAA state champion Mt. San Antonio holding the advantage, the Lancers were even more behind the eight ball.
Instead it was the current No. 7-ranked Mounties that were left behind, trampled by a runaway eight wheeler as PCC scored five unanswered goals for an improbable 5-2 victory. The PCC women's basketball team rooted the Lancers on with cheers and chants from the stadium stands as the soccer team completed its rally.
At one point being outshot, 11-1, the Lancers fortunes changed when Zack Larson received a lead pass from Luis Flores and knocked in a roller into the corner of the net just a few seconds before the first-half whistle. The goal cut the Mt. SAC lead to 2-1.
Flores, who sat the first 20 minutes of the game in nursing a back injury, sparked the team's offense in the second half. In the 58th minute, Flores blasted in a free kick from 27 yards out for his team-leading seventh goal, tying it at 2-2.
With PCC gaining all of the momentum, the rally continued when Larson's throw-in from the sideline got through a maze of players with Eric Chavez directing the bouncing ball in for a 3-2 lead. In the 89th minute, Chavez received a lead pass by Flores, raced over a fallen Mt. SAC defender and kicked in his second goal. The Lancers capped the scoring fountain in injury time as again it was Flores setting up a breakaway goal for Midya Housepian.
Lancers' goalie Gaetano Perez made seven saves but received outstanding defense in the second half by Mario Monroy, who twice blocked Mt. SAC opportunities near the goalie box. Monroy, Max Rico, and George Barba were strong in the backfield, preventing the Mounties to mount much of an offense in the second half. Mt. SAC was limited to four shots in the second half.
Flores finished with a goal and three assists in a brilliant playmaking display.
"That late goal at the end of the first half gave us hope," said PCC head coach Edgar Manvelyan. "We attacked Mt. SAC's back line and put the pressure high and it worked. We brought in Barba and Max Rico off the bench and it gave us more attack from the back. Once we got ahead, it made more sense to just stay on the offensive. We sat back in a match v. them last year and it cost us."
Manvelyan was referring to a 2-2 tie in last year's matchup at PCC when Mt. SAC scored a goal in the 90th minute that prevented a win that could have helped the Lancers make the postseason.
Now, the Lancers are 3-1-1 in the SCC (4-3-5 overall), currently in third place in the 9-team league. Mt. SAC fell to 7-2-3 and 3-2 in conference games, dropping to fourth.
On Friday, PCC visits first-place Cerritos (5-0 in conference) for a 4 p.m. match. Cerritos has 15 team points, Harbor 12, and the Lancers 10 in the current conference standings.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Prologo Nago EVO X8 CPC Nack Saddle $0.00
Using the proven Nago EVO X8 body as its platform, the new Prologo Nago EVO X8 CPC Nack Saddle blends many of the Italian saddle maker's key technologies into a single, ultra-versatile design. Its shape, materials, and rail system have all been engineered to provide one of the lightest and most supportive saddles available, making it ideal for both road and cross country applications.
Prologo chose to build the Nago EVO X8 CPC Nack saddle around its Nack rail system. This is a composite structure that blends braided carbon fiber, Kevlar, and aluminum filaments into the rails. The result is a lightweight base and clamping zone that's both durable and incredibly stiff. Prologo then attached its carbon fiber injected 'skeleton' base to the rails, creating a supportive foundation that works in conjunction with the patented EV2-Active Density padding.
This padding is actually a 'system' of varying foam densities that have been strategically placed to provide the optimal blend of comfort and support. The system works to perfectly complement the saddle's semi-round shape, with the composition of padding densities moving along a gradient. At the widest rear section (135mm), multiple layers of high density padding were applied to handle the bulk of your weight. The perennial zone, or central section, incorporates a medium density that tapers toward the softly padded nose.
Prologo then wrapped its Active Density padding with a soft microfiber cover. This outer-layer was constructed with its CPC (Connect Power Control) technology, which is a textured surface treatment that keeps you 'connected' to the correct riding position. CPC panels are composed of small 'volcano' shock absorbers with hollowed heads. As weight is applied to these panels, the heads open up, providing a vacuum-like grip that keeps you from sliding around on the saddle.
To keep the Nago EVO's cover free from scuffs, Prologo finished off the saddle with its Side Protector bumpers. It's also U-clip compatible, meaning that it'll accept a variety of Prologo's clip-on lights and saddle bags.
The Prologo Nago EVO X8 CPC Nack Saddle is available in a 135mm size and in the colors Hard Black/white and White/black.

I have a major issue in production environment. I am running zcs-8.0.2_GA_5569.FOSS on RHEL 6.2 64 bit. Multiserver environment with 1 LDAP Master, about 8 Mailstore servers, couple of MTA servers, Proxy for pop3/IMAP and Proxy for https.
The issue I am facing is that whenever a user tries to download a mail more than say 2MB via pop, the connection closes. All I can find in the /opt/zimbra/log/nginx.log is the following entry:
If I bypass proxy, and connect directly to the mailstore server, no issues. Everything works fine.2013/02/21 23:53:12 [error] 17271#0: *725148 SSL_read() failed (SSL: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac) while proxying and reading from upstream, client: IP.Addr.of.client using starttls, server: 0.0.0.0:110, login: "userid", upstream: IP.Addr.of.mailstoreserver:995 (IP.Addr.of.client:49956-IP.Addr.of.popproxy:110) <=> (IP.Addr.of.popproxy:34307-IP.Addr.of.mailstoreserver:995)

Written By App. State Sports Infomation Dept.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - For the second week in a row, Appalachian State University running back Marcus Cox (Dacula, Ga./Dacula) has been honored as the Southern Conference Freshman of the Week, the SoCon office announced Monday morning.
Cox accounted for 180 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 27-24 loss to Charleston Southern. One week after becoming the first player in Appalachian State history with 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in a game during a 31-21 victory at Elon, Cox rushed 17 times for 89 yards and caught four passes for 91 yards against CSU.
The true freshman also scored three touchdowns for the second-straight week, finding paydirt on runs of 14 and two yards and on a 65-yard reception. His six touchdowns over the past two weeks give him a SoCon-high eight in his four-game collegiate career.
Cox is the first Mountaineer to earn consecutive SoCon Freshman-of-the-Week awards since Armanti Edwards received the honor three-straight weeks from Sept. 23-Oct. 7, 2006.
Cox and the Mountaineers (1-3, 1-0 SoCon) look to moved to 2-0 in conference play this Saturday when they travel to The Citadel (1-4, 1-1 SoCon). Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Johnson Hagood Stadium in Charleston, S.C.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Clipless Pedals in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano PD-A530 SPD Dual Platform Pedal $0.00
The Shimano PD-A530 SPD Road Dual Platform Bike Pedal makes the ideal choice for your around-town bike that sees both long rides to work and short trips to the store. An SPD cleat on one side lets you clip in when you leave the house for your 40-minute morning bike commute, and the platform side lets you hop on with your regular shoes for a quick coffee run.

First Pair of Clip Ins
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought these, because I already use SPDs for spin class and wanted a pedal that could double as a platform. After a couple of jaunts around town and longer rides in which I clipped in, I can confidently say that these are great for beginner road bikers and commuters.
They come with SPD hardwear for your shoes.
Does this come with hardware for cycling...
Does this come with hardware for cycling shoes, to clip them in? Or, if it needs to be purchased separately, what accessory do I need to my shoes?
Yes, it comes with an extra set of clips for your shoes.
Want to use this pedal on my Raleigh Clubman...
Want to use this pedal on my Raleigh Clubman Road Bike, what is a moderatley priced road bike show that will work with this type of cleat type. I want to get a pair of Giro Treble shoes but they have a 3 hole road cleat type. Is there an adapter?
No there isn't an adapter. You have to find the right shoe for the closing that go in. It's all personal preference in the shoes.
Trying to decide between this pedal and...
Trying to decide between this pedal and the PD-M324. What is different about the 2, and why would I choose one over the other? Also, as I understand it the M324 comes with a multidirectional-release cleat. Does this also?
The 324 is geared more towards use with a rubber-lugged mountain bike or indoor cycling shoe. The A-530 is designed to be used with that shoe as well as an spd compatible road shoe. If you are doing mainly road riding go with the A-530, if you plan to take these off road or using a spin bike go with the 324.
They both come with the multi-directional release cleat.
Hope that helps, enjoy!
Write your question here..Can't tell if...
Write your question here..Can't tell if this is sold as single pedal or set - States "pedal" but so do others that are sold as pair. Can you please confirm?
Yup, there is a left and right in there.

What is the best shoe match for these pedals?
If your commuting the Keen Austin pedal shoe can't be beat.
Any Spd Compatible Shoe Will work
good for clipped or regular shoes
Good pedals, they are really good for your commuter bike to work, store, park and the bar. The clip works great and if you don't feel like clipping today, you can totally sport these with sandals with no problem.
If I get this pedal, which of one of these...
If I get this pedal, which of one of these do I need? http://www.backcountry.com/store/SHI0122/Shimano-America-SPD-Cleat-Sets.html
And will any 3 hole-road compatible shoes be able to take those cleats?
It is pretty standard for pedals to come with cleats.
Normal SPD cleats like the ones that would come with these would not go onto a 3 hole shoe, you need a 2 hole compatible shoe.
If you want new cleats get the 51s for road biking and get the 56s for mountain
Is this pedal and cleat compatable with...
Is this pedal and cleat compatable with the Shimano SH-RW40 Women's shoe? That is the shoe I am looking to buy and want to ensure I get one that is compatable with the pedal I'm looking at also buying. Thanks,
I am not familiar with that exact shoe but this pedal is compatible with only standard spd 2-hole shoes. So if there are two holes on the shoe, Yes. If there are three holes in a triangle setup only, No.
I'm fairly new to cycling and am looking...
I'm fairly new to cycling and am looking for a clipless pedal that is real easy to get in and out of, do these fit that bill? I have to make about 3-4 stops on the route I ride for the cross roads and need to be able to easily get out off the pedal, at least while learning to ride in clipless pedals, so I don't fall over.
Yes, these will be good for learning. Even easier to learn on would be a double sided entry pedal, where you just have to step down and not worry about which side of the pedal is facing up. Most platform style road pedals are single sided so if you get used to this then you should be able to transition to another platform pedal pretty easily.
This is a good pedal if you would like the option not to wear cycling specific shoes all the time. It also is good for beginning cyclist who are learning to clip-in and out so they can use the platform at stops and start or in sticky situations.
will these shoes fit with this pedal?...
will these shoes fit with this pedal? Shimano SH-RO75 Road Bike Shoe.. sorry im a noob
No, this pedal takes SPD cleats and the shoes you mention are SPD-SL ready. The 2 cleat systems have different mounting bolt patterns. The SPD are used more for off-road and the SPD-SL are used for the road. I use the SPD-SL and they work fine. If you already have the shoes, the pedal you are looking for is the PD-SL540. The cleats will come with the pedal.

WHEELING - On paper, the second Upper Ohio Valley Basketball Tournament girls' semifinal pitting Wheeling Central and Bishop Donahue had all the makings of an old-fashioned blowout.
The Maroon Knights entered play at Wheeling Jesuit's McDonough Center on Friday night with one loss. The Bishops, meanwhile, boasted one victory.
Wheeling Central came away with a 53-39 triumph. But it wasn't a blowout. In fact, until a 12-1 run by the Maroon Knights late in the third quarter it was a tight game.
Article Photos
Wheeling Central's Emily Bucon eyes a shot in front of Bishop Donahue's Renae Kudla.
''Bishop Donahue did what they needed to do to get it to the pace they wanted,'' Wheeling Central coach Penn Kurtz said.
''But our movement of the ball and our energy got better, and I think we were able to wear them down.''
Bishop Donahue coach Don Gillis agreed.
''We didn't want them to pound the ball inside to (Colleen) McCormick and their other girls, and I think in the first half it worked,'' he said. ''But the problem was they were getting rebounds and putting the ball back up.''
That's true. But the shots weren't falling.
After building a 15-6 lead after the first quarter, the Maroon Knights went cold from the floor (4 of 18) in the second, including an 0-for-8 drought to end the half.
That opened the door for the Bishops, who closed to within 22-16 on a Kelsey Schau layup and trailed by eight at halftime.
''I thought they played a great first half,'' Kurtz said of the Bishops. ''They made some shots, played aggressive on defense and took away some of the things we like to do. I'll give them credit for that.
''We were a little lethargic, but their defense had a lot to do with that.''
Emily Bucon scored 14 points in the first half for Central (8-1), but no one else had even half that.
That changed quickly in the third quarter.
McCormick, who surpassed the 1,000-point mark for her career, made a layup to start the period. She scored two more times as Central built a 38-20 advantage. Bucon's jumper in the lane capped the surge.
''We knew we had to do a better job of moving the ball to get it in to her,'' Kurtz said of McCormick who double- and triple-teammed most of the night.
''We came out with a little more enthusiasm and played better defense. They only had six points in the third quarter.
''Our defense leads to offense and when we do that we're a pretty good team.''
Bucon finished with 22 points, the only player scoring in double-figures for either team. Selena Ghaphery paced the Bishops (1-7) with nine.

Viridian FAQs
What is required for a customer to sign-up for Viridian?
Tell us about electricity deregulation. What's going on? What's changed? What does it mean for consumers in Massachusetts? Why should they care?
How many states have approved deregulation? Are consumers in those states aware they have a voice and a choice regarding their energy supplier?
Tell us about your background. Where does your interest in green energy come from? What was the opportunity you saw that led you to create Viridian?
Tell us about Viridian When did you start the company? Where are you headquartered? Where are you in business?
There are many new third-party energy providers that have come into this space…many choices for consumers. What makes Viridian unique? How are you different from your competition?
What products do you offer and why?
What are the sources of green energy?
Almost everyone says they want to go green, but in almost every case, our experience has been that green alternatives cost more. With Viridian's offering, you get to pick a greener energy supply and save money over time. How is that possible?
Is Viridian helping local economies?
Tell us about the Massachusettes launch.
Is Virdian available everywhere in Massachusetts?
Can you talk about Viridian's product offerings to commercial customers?
In your materials, you say "this is not just about positive environmental impact, it also has the potential to be a major driver of the renewable industry's development." How does that work?
This proposition of going green while saving money almost seems too good to be true. Most of our audience isn't familiar with Viridian. No offense intended, but how do they know they can believe you?
Does switching one home's electricity source really make a significant difference to the environment?
I want to ask Michael about Viridian's marketing strategy. Viridian doesn't use much advertising to build its business. Instead, you use what you describe as network marketing or relationship marketing with your messages being delivered by independent associates to their families and friends. Can you tell us why you chose that model…and how it works?
Jenna Marzullo was the very first independent Viridian Associate. She has been with the company from the beginning, and is uniquely suited to tell us about the Associates program. As I understand it, the program represents an interesting way for people to earn money while spreading the word about Viridian and helping green the grid. Jenna, please tell us how the program works…why it appealed to you and what your experience has been with it.
Viridian also has a unique Residual Fundraising Program that helps support non-profits. David Milos is the Business Director at Blue Star Equiculture, a working horse sanctuary and organic farm in Palmer, Massachusetts. Blue Star has recently become an independent associate of Viridian in order to help raise the funds necessary to pursue their mission. David, please tell our viewers about Blue Star's mission and how the Viridian Residual Funding Program works to help you meet your goals.
As we conclude our conversation, I want to return to Michael for a final comment. Michael, what is your long-term vision for Viridian? It seems to be broader than simply providing a greener alternative for energy supply

|Voter preregistration now available for 16-17-year-olds
|Written by Becca Brandt
|Wednesday, 21 August 2013 10:03
When discussing a recently passed bill from the Colorado General Assembly, it is not one's first instinct to look to a high school government class. But in the case of House Bill 13-1135, Luke Thomas' sixth-hour government class was exactly the place to gather input on the topic.
House Bill 13-1135, which went into effect Wednesday, Aug. 7, concerns the age at which citizens of Colorado can register to vote. More specifically, every person who has reached 16 years of age can preregister to vote and update voter information as long as they meet all Colorado registration regulations.
Going into the government class, the students had no knowledge of the new law, but after a little prompting, they certainly gave their two cents on the subject.
There were disagreements among the students about whether this was a good idea or not. Kaety Overton thought it was a good idea, but it might put a lot of pressure on young people to determine their political affiliation at such a young age.
Ramiro Iniguez was completely against the idea, stating simply, "I'm not mature enough and neither are some of these other people."
In terms of determining political affiliation, Megan Vieselmeyer thinks at such a young age students are impressionable and may just decide to vote with the same party as their parents.
One of the sections in the bill will allow 16- and 17-year-olds to register at driver's license examination facilities starting Jan. 1, 2014. It was pointed out by Jentry Andersen that it would be convenient to just fill out the necessary preregistration application when filling out the information required to get a driver's license.
County Clerk Beth Zilla believes that allowing people to register at 16 and 17 years old will not be a problem at the courthouse.
Before the law took effect, people who were 17 and would be 18 by the next election could register. Their documentation would remain in a pending file and then roll over to the registered voters list when they turned 18. The same will apply for those who preregister.
The students also had strong opinions about how funds should be allocated in regards to the act. A total of $86,672 has been appropriated for the implementation of this act, with $55,000 going to the division of motor vehicles for contract programming services and $31,672 to the information technology for the purchase of computer center services.
Bianca Rodriguez considered the whole act to be a waste of money, saying "Either way, whether 16 or 18, a person is going to decide if they will or won't register. It could have stayed at 18."
Zach Roll also disagreed with the way money was going to be spent, believing some of the funds should go to getting the word out to those who can preregister.
There was a consensus among the class that it would be pointless to spend money on implementing the program if the government didn't do a better job of letting people know preregistration is now an option.
Luke Stewart thinks the best way to get younger people involved is to put the information where they will see it: the school. "We are stuck in class, why not learn it here?" he asked.
Thomas thinks it would be good for students to learn about their civic duty, but teachers have to be careful about providing an unbiased environment. Last year, Thomas's classes viewed and broke down the coverage of the presidential election. He thinks the government class provides a good environment for the students to have in-depth discussion about this sort of thing.
His students, however, think the education process should start younger, so that by the time students are 16 they will have an understanding of the whole process. Stewart said at the very least, the bill should be mentioned and students should be told how to sign up.
Andersen noted she would be willing to fill out the online application form if they took class time to complete the process.
Now that the bill has been passed, Thomas is interested in seeing the impact in young voter turnout in the next few years.
The overall opinion in the classroom was that it is important for people to vote, including the younger generations, and House Bill 13-1135 will be beneficial to voter turnout as long as the younger generations are educated on the subject.
House Bill 13-1135 was introduced to the House on Jan. 18. Following amendments, the bill went to second reading where it was passed with amendments and third reading where it passed on March 12 with a 37-28 vote.
The bill was introduced to the Senate on March 13, which was followed by amendments and the second and third readings (both of which passed with amendments).
After considering the Senate amendments, the House concurred and repassed the bill. On April 29, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate both signed the bill. Governor John Hickenlooper signed the bill on May 10.
Citizens of the state were given a 90-day period following the adjournment of the General Assembly on May 8 to file a referendum petition in which they could send all or part of the bill to the general election in November 2014. Seeing no filed objections, the bill took effect Aug. 7.
Registration can be completed at the county clerk's office or online at www.sos.state.co.us/voter-classic/secuRegVoterIntro.do.
Registration regulations in Colorado state that a voter must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of Colorado 30 days prior to the election and not be confined as a prisoner or serving any part of a sentence (including parole) for a felony conviction.

Just finished this past weekend. A couple of things I ran into that I wanted to put out there in case other do too.
My first hiccup was with the License check. For some reason my content filter on my firewall was blocking the check. After resolving that Zimbra support gave me a command to check if I can hit the license server.
su - zimbra
zmlicense --ping
It should reply OK.
It might be a good idea to check this first. Save the headache of troubleshooting after the fact.
The next hiccup was pax was not installed. When it did the checks for required applications this came up. Support was kind of surprised but said it was required for 8.0.6 to run properly.
apt-get install pax
That did the trick. After that the rest was smooth sailing.
I am probably over cautious but I ran both a zimbra backup as well as a full backup using my sporty PHD Virtual backup software before going ahead with the install.

Yeah Bob, how loud is it? I saw some internal pics of one online and it looks like mostly open with a restrictor plate. I'm not sure if there's any fiberglass packing in the wide part but the baffle is removable so I figure I could modify it to be quieter if need be. I listened to a few bikes online and most of them sounded nice and not all blatty. For some reason I have been losing touch with my quiet ways and I'm kinda in the mood for something a little louder. Must be cabin fever OlHog, thanks for noticing that he added some pipe. I didn't notice that. Something I may need to do. They give good measurements of the pipe so I could measure and guesstimate how much.Thanks everyone,Scott

Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
As a long-time member of the Helsinki Commission, which I now have the honor to chair, I can recall many earlier hearings where we learned the horrific details of ethnic cleansing, senseless attacks on civilians, other crimes against humanity and genocide associated with Yugoslavia's demise. I can also recall our persistent efforts to see the United States and Europe decisively respond to this violence, and to bring those responsible for it to justice.
Fortunately, that period is now history. It is in the past. The region is more stable now, and while incomplete, there has been accountability. Hopefully, there have also been lessons learned.
It is important for those of here in Washington, as well as in European capitals, nevertheless to understand the challenges the people of the region face in putting the past behind them. It is hard to move on when you were the victim, when you lost friends and loved ones and a home. For those who managed to survive the conflicts in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo in particular, a decade or two is not so long ago. That is why the Balkans remains a concern to the international community today, even as global events may shift our attention elsewhere.
Given this fact, it is important that the international community make sure that the region is on as stable a footing as possible before it relinquishes its power, presence and authority. First and foremost, I want to see the last people indicted by the international tribunal in The Hague who are still at large, in particular Ratko Mladic, apprehended and transferred to the court. I also want to see a far greater commitment by political leaders in the region to abandon the ethnic exclusivity found in their policies and platforms. I want to see government leaders more responsive to the genuine needs of the people, particularly by providing the youth of the region opportunities for a more prosperous future.
I want the Helsinki Commission to do more to encourage dialogue between the governments and the people of all the countries concerned. The presentations made at today's hearing will be useful in moving this effort forward, and I want to welcome and thank our four witnesses for their presence and remarks.

Press Release 12-143 NSF Research Alliances Begin New Efforts to Accelerate Innovation
Eight teams around the country establish collaborations that strengthen the innovation ecosystem.
CASA ERC students developed and deployed an off-the-grid, wireless radar system in Puerto Rico.
Credit and Larger Version
July 30, 2012
The National Science Foundation recently awarded nearly $6 million for eight emerging-technology projects that may result in technologies poised for commercialization.
The grants, issued as part of NSF's Accelerating Innovation Research program, will go to projects that aim to create innovative products, processes and systems. Each project will seek to solve problems for various industries, ranging from energy and weather to healthcare and information technology.
"The collaborations fostered by AIR will accelerate the translation from innovative research to market reality and strengthen the national innovation ecosystem," said Grace Wang, director of NSF's Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships, which funds the awards. "Partnerships and third-party investment are essential for successful technology translation."
Academic researchers will collaborate with private-sector partners as they begin the development of new technology concepts. In addition, the AIR Research Alliance competition requires researchers to obtain an equal commitment of resources for their projects from a company; a venture capital firm; an individual "angel" investor or a federal, state or local government--or a combination of these.
"With AIR, NSF-supported research alliances have a chance to expand their industrial reach and understand first-hand what's involved in commercialization," said Lynn Preston, director of the NSF Engineering Research Centers program. "They also have an opportunity to build upon their promising discoveries and technologies."
Fiscal 2012 AIR awards were granted to three engineering research centers, three industry/university cooperative research centers and two partnerships for innovation sites.
"These projects are expected to not only result in new technologies and start-up businesses," said AIR program director Karlene Hoo, "they also will provide opportunities for students to learn about innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology translation process."

Basically, Hollywood is filled with a bunch of politically correct Far Left navel gazers sitting around in a self-congratulatory circle-jerk.
Hollywood has blacklisted a movie 'Zero Dark Thirty' which indicated an inconvenient truth--intelligence gleaned from coercive interrogation of murderous thugs, led directly to the death of Bin Ladin....
Despite early buzz, the blacklist campaign resulted in no major Oscar nomination for this movie. High profile Hollywood actors are smiting the film for supposedly having the wrong ideology. No Oscars for you, comrade, unless you toe the Party line.
In the 50s, leftists in Hollywood couldnt get work. Today, only leftists get work.
'Zero Dark Thirty' by no means sugarcoats coercive interrogation.A HuffPost progressive indicated the movie "shows that torture alone did not work and that scores of Saudis were killed because of such failure"....and to his credit, he said "The saddest effect of the anti-ZDT camp is its swerve toward a new McCarthyism"...
Left wing propaganda like "Game Change" wins awards...conservative views are blacklisted.

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Reigning two-time champion Novak
Djokovic would not have to meet Roger Federer or Andy Murray until the
championship match, as the draw for the Australian Open was revealed on
Friday. The first Grand Slam event of 2013 will commence Monday at Melbourne
The world No. 1 Djokovic will try to become the first three-peat Aussie Open
champion in the Open Era and only the third four-time overall Melbourne champ.
He also captured this event in 2008.
Djokovic outlasted Spanish great Rafael Nadal in the longest-ever Grand Slam
final at last year's Aussie. The seven-time French Open titlist Nadal,
however, will miss the latest edition of the Down Under Slam while he
recovers from illness and injury.
The five-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic will open his title defense against
oft-injured Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu and could meet 20th-seeded American
Sam Querrey in the fourth round. A possible quarterfinal opponent could be
fifth-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych, while a trip to the
final could produce a marquee match against the four-time champion and 2009
runner-up Federer or the two-time Aussie finalist Murray.
Berdych will open his fortnight against American journeyman Michael Russell.
The bottom half of the draw features the second-seeded Federer and third-
seeded Murray. Federer will open up against France's Benoit Paire next week,
while Murray will meet Dutch slugger Robin Haase in the round of 128.
Murray is fresh off his title in Brisbane last week and is also the reigning
U.S. Open and Olympic champ. He'll be attempting to win a second straight
The 17-time Grand Slam and reigning Wimbledon champion Federer could face
former Aussie runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in quarterfinals and Murray or
former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the semis. The sixth-seeded
del Potro will open against a qualifier next week and could battle Murray in
the quarters.
In addition to Djokovic, the top half of the draw also features fourth seed
David Ferrer, who will open his 2013 Aussie stay against diminutive Belgian
Olivier Rochus. Ferrer's potential quarterfinal opponent could be eighth-
seeded Janko Tipsarevic, who will tangle with aging Aussie hero Lleyton Hewitt
in round one. The former world No. 1 Hewitt is a two-time major champion and
was the Aussie Open runner-up back in 2005.
Tipsarevic was a titlist in Chennai, India last week.
If Ferrer can reach the semis, the formidable Djokovic could be waiting.

Wine Specs
Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast
Alcohol %
2012 Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast
In Stock
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Coquerel's 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is bright, forward, fruity and elegant. The aromatics and flavors have a spicy "blue" quality to them that implies purity and youth. The moderate alcohol level, firm acid and low pH ensure a mouthfeel that is brisk, lively and satisfying. Balanced tannins and dash of oak in the finish provide structure, length and an ability to pair perfectly with a wide range of foods.
Vineyard Notes
The 2012 season started with a dryer-than-average winter when compared to the previous two years. The last notable rain occurred in April and no frost after bud break was recorded. The fruit set was excellent and consequently we had an abundant crop. This was quite welcome after the extremely low yields of the 2011 vintage. Some thinning was done around veraison to balance the crop load on select vines. The summer was warm, but no heat spikes were recorded. Cool mornings and evenings towards the end of the growing season allowed the fruit to mature properly.
Winemaker Notes
While our focus will always be Napa Valley, we have been producing a small amount of Pinot Noir from Sonoma County since 2011. This 2012 comes from the Sonoma Coast AVA, a broad band of land that stretches from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the San Pablo Bay in the southeast. As with all of our wines, our winemaking techniques are tailored to emphasize and preserve the essential character of the fruit.

NEW YORK (ABC) – Microsoft's Xbox Live and Sony's PlayStation Network both suffered outages on Christmas as a hacking group claimed responsibility for the problems.
The networks, which allow users to play video games with a wider audience online, suffered problems Thursday that continued Friday morning, angering thousands of gamers, many who tried using their brand-new consoles on Christmas.
We're aware users are having issues logging into XBL & are actively working to resolve. Please visit http://t.co/99xfLNN0o8 for updates ^JX
— Xbox Support (1-5) (@XboxSupport) December 25, 2014
The hacking group "Lizard Squad" took credit for the outages. The group previously claimed responsibility for cyber-attacks that briefly knocked the Vatican's website, Battle.net and League of Legends offline. Neither Microsoft nor Sony blamed the problem on hackers. Both companies said they were investigating the problems. Earlier this month, the Lizard Squad claimed it hacked Sony's PlayStation Store.
Our engineers are continuing to work hard to resolve the network issues users have experienced today. Thanks for your continued patience!

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Wetsuits in stock than that.View Similar Products
2XU R:2 Raced Women's Wetsuit $0.00
You utilize aerodynamics on land, so why aren't you maximizing hydrodynamics in the water? With the 2XU R:2 Race Women's Wetsuit, your buoyancy is maximized and the catch panels ensure that you'll go further with every stroke. So, once you suit up, you can count on the R:2 to deliver you to shore faster, with more energy for the rest of the race.
The path to speed takes many forms, and accordingly, the path to a faster wetsuit requires many engineering features. So, 2XU approached the R:2 with a four-part ideology -- body position, flexibility hydrodynamics, and buoyancy. Coincidentally, much of 2XU's engineering towards body position also aids in buoyancy. And accordingly, the R:2 ensures an efficient body position through the development and implementation of its velocity strakes and rollbar technologies. Basically, the velocity strakes are strategically placed and angled points of 5mm-density, raised surfaces that run from the neck to the knee. These strakes perform many functions, but one of their more notable applications is improving posture in the water, or more precisely put, they efficiently channel water along the body in order to increase your stability and flow. This results in less sideways movement in choppy conditions, and also, it provides an enhanced lift to the body in glassy waters. The rollbars that run along the sides from the hip to the top of scapula operate with the same principle -- minimizing the shoulder and lats tendency to sink inwards during the locomotion of your stroke.
Surely, the aforementioned engineered system of position control sounds right on paper, but you're probably wondering what its real-world application is? Well, aside from its proprioceptive dynamics, it also brings us to our next subject, hydrodynamics. Basically, the R:2's goal is to make you faster in the water. And just how curvy, sleek shapes minimize your drag coefficient on land, the wetsuit's level of buoyancy is the minimizing variable in the water. The supporting science behind this claim is fairly elementary -- water is around 1000 times denser than air, and it produces a potential drag coefficient 10 times that of air, as well. So, minimizing your body's submergence is vital to optimizing hydrodynamics. Accordingly, the R:2 features a variable-density neoprene with a 5mm front buoyancy panel.
Additionally, the R:2 benefits from a hydrodynamic, silicone SGS/Silicone Hydro coating that provides an added level of buoyancy, while lowering the suit's coefficient of kinetic friction. Without entering into a physics lesson, the coefficient of kinetic friction is most simply described as the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies, and the force pressing them together. And in this case, the two bodies are your body and the water and friction occurs concurrently with their motions. So, in the real-world, SGS acts almost like an accelerant as it reduces the friction between yourself and the water, ultimately requiring you to exert less force in order to gain more speed.
We've discerned how the R:2 design assists in conserving your energy by lowering your required output of force, but the V:2 also has features that maximize the force that you apply. For example, 2XU equipped the forearms and lower legs with catch panels. These sections of the suit provide the appendages with a drastically increased surface area. So, with the panels, more water is displaced during your catch and kick phase. Accordingly, your propulsion through the water is maximized with less required force.
For flexibility, the R:2's neoprene is not only buoyant, but it also features one of the most flexible rubber compositions on the market -- 520%, four-way stretch. Additionally, the suit varies its density down to a malleable 1.5mm at the underarms and shoulder panels. It also has a floating back panel that's non-restrictive nature allows more air into the chest cavity. This concept is furthered by the suit's seamless, floating zip panel. So, your reach is extended, while abrasion is eliminated.
The 2XU R:2 Race Women's Wetsuit is available in the color Black and in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large, with a Small/medium option also available.

I'm 5'2", 125lbs. 36" chest, 27" waist....
I'm 5'2", 125lbs. 36" chest, 27" waist. (so...sort of barrel-chested). Is a small 2XU wetsuit reasonable? Or should I size up to a medium?
The small should fit you, but I would recommend trying on a 2XU wetsuit in a store before ordering.

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Lamont Jones scored a game-high 23 points as
the Iona Gaels captured a 79-71 win over the Greyhounds of Loyola-Maryland
in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at Reitz Arena.
Also scoring in double figures for the Gaels (14-7, 8-2 MAAC) were Sean Armand
and Tre Bowman with 14 and 11 points, respectively, while David Laury
registered a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 14 rebounds as the
team won for the eighth time in the last nine outings.
The Greyhounds (15-7, 7-3) were led by Dylon Cormier who tallied 18 points and
seven rebounds as he moved back into the lineup after missing the game against
Manhattan on Friday. Robert Olson accounted for 14 points, Jordan Latham 11,
while Anthony Winbush came off the bench to post 10 rebounds as the team had a
three-game win streak snapped.
Iona opened the meeting on a 13-4 run and used 16 points in the paint in the
first half to register a 38-30 advantage at the break.
In the second half the Gaels led by double digits for most of the period
before claiming the eight-point triumph.
In addition to holding Loyola to just 38.9 percent shooting from the floor,
the Gaels also limited the hosts to 7-of-24 shooting beyond the arc and
watched the Greyhounds make only 8-of-18 attempts at the free-throw line.

We looooove spaghetti… Straps, that is. Fooled you, huh? As much as we'd love to drop everything and go eat (#FOMO on grub), we need to get to the meat (ha) of the post which is all about our love for 90s inspired cami/spaghetti strap dresses.
When it's hot out, what more does a girl need other than some thin straps to hold some thin cloth against a smokin' bod? It's all about rocking a super polished but casual look, and a cami dress is an easy option. Plus, a little 90s never hurt anyone. Sparkles? Check. Spaghetti straps over a shirt? Check. Cami dresses with lace-up boots and sneakers? Check. And since we're speaking of the 90s, let's take a trip down memory lane with this super rad gallery. We've included the classics and some n00bs for a dose of old and new. (We're aware that Kate Moss dominates the gallery. What can we say? Girl knows how to dress.)
