Don't worry though, we have a lot more Flat Handlebars in stock than that.View Similar Products
ENVE Sweep Handlebar $0.00
For over five years, Enve has been re-engineering the face of carbon design. Not so long ago, it was feared that carbon was too delicate for any meaningful application in mountain biking. However, the Enve Sweep Bar exposes this notion as a mere rumor. More than just a technical carbon design, the Sweep Bar has an exceptional shape and a sophisticated laminate. The Sweep Bar's high-vibration absorbency will make those miles of rock-strewn dirt ahead of you much more comfortable.
The Enve Sweep Bar is developed by riders for riders. Utilizing extensive feedback from the trail, the Sweep Bar design represents a perfect equilibrium between weight and strength. A mere 175 grams of impeccable carbon, the Sweep Bar is light enough for big climbs, yet durable enough for catching big air. At the same time, the trimmable 27.5-inch-wide bar stance provides flexible comfort in the dirt, and the nine degree rearward sweep keeps your wrists in a relaxed, neutral position.
The Enve Sweep Bar is available in the color Black and in a 740mm width. It features a nine-degree sweep and zero rise. Please note that this bar is only compatible with 31.8mm clamp diameter stems.
- 31.8mm clamp diameter, 740mm width
- Zero rise is ideal for 29ers and bikes with tall front ends
- Vibration absorbing carbon layup

you get what you pay for
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
light and stiff. a bit on the narrow side for today's standards, but awesome nonetheless. I put it on this pump-track/flow bike that I just built myself!
Enve equipment is worth every penny.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have historically shied away from Enve due to cost but I finally took the plunge on the Sweep bars and Seatpost. It's amazing how light their gear is given how stiff and durable the stuff is. I am a clydesdale at 195 pounds and I hammer my gear hard. I set these bars up at 740 and on an all out uphill hammer I felt no flex, I am mean no flex at all as compared to my older 3T aluminum bars. Well worth the premium price. Well done Enve.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like this bar for the riding I do.
The 700mm width works for me, and the sweep lets the bar be where my hands want it to be. While there may be lighter carbon bars, I feel that I can sacrifice the grams for something that I know will be durable and can take a beating ride after ride. If you want a flat bar with sweep, you can't go wrong.
Nice bars Dave . They compliment the wheels nicely !
are these bars compatible with bar ends?
are these bars compatible with bar ends?
Bar ends are not recommended for this bar according to Enve
Made in USA ...

Dude. Can you feel the excitement? This Sunday, folks everywhere are polishing their wide-screen TVs for one of the most exciting events in television all year.
That's right, I'm talking about Puppy Bowl.
Of course, I know not everyone is as much of a sports enthusiast as I am, so perhaps instead you'll be tuning into some lesser event. I'm sure there's bound to be something on. Whatever you are watching, though, you might as well make an event of it. You know, have a few buds over, bust out the chips, dress for the occasion, enjoy a little quality bro time.
Whoa, those guys are really crazy for puppies.
Anyhow, I may not know much about sports, but I do know any televised event that contains the word "Bowl" requires copious amounts of hardy, gut-building man chow.
Wait, what? You were expecting us to conjure up some fancy new thing to serve this Sunday? Look, we have cooked our fingers to the bone for the last four years. I'm serving leftovers from the archive. Hey, they're still good. Maybe a little freezer burn here and there. You'll eat what you're given. Children are starving in Haiti. Finish your plate.

Bolt-On Suspension Parts & Brake Upgrades on a 1965 Chevrolet El Camino - Bolt-On Performance Suspension PartsWritten by Douglas Glad on July 1, 2010 Contributors: John McGann Don't Be Happy With Cornering Slop. Tighten It Up With Some . . .
Your stock Chevelle doesn't handle. Don't get mad at us; the factory wanted it that way. To make these cars easy to drive and stable, GM dialed in positive camber gain and only small amounts of caster into the suspension geometry. The -1 to 1 degree of caster gives you little or no road feel, made worse by power steering, and the positive camber gain generates understeer when you try to speed through a corner. It was good for the public and bad for the car guy.
For the fix, we went to Global West, where Doug Nor-rdin showed us the parts that both solve those issues and create room for 17x9.5-inch wheels and 275/40ZR17 Toyo Proxes 4 high-performance tires in the front and rear of the car. The result is more aggressive handling, lower ride height, more road feel, and a lot more control. Best of all, you don't have to spend 10 grand on your suspension to compete with the fast cars. The Global West pieces cost about $2,500 total and can be bolted on in one weekend in your garage.
According to Norrdin, a mean-handling Chevelle needs 5.5 to 6 degrees of positive caster and at least 2 degrees of negative camber gain to work. These angles are measured in relation to the ball joints and controlled by the position control arms. Global West's G-plus package builds this caster into the control arm and fixes as much of the positive camber gain possible using the stock height spindle.
Let's say you have a street car where there is zero caster; you might see 2 degrees or more of positive camber gain on turn-in, rolling the tire away from the center of the vehicle and the optimum contact patch of the tire. The design of the G-plus control arm increases negative camber on initial turn-in. The combination of the G-plus arm's geometry and the inclination of the spindle keeps the tire contact patch in the negative camber zone even though you have positive camber gain. With the G-plus, you are not going to get killer negative camber gain without dialing in a bunch of static negative camber, but you will get street manners and better tire life.
To eliminate positive camber gain entirely, you'll need the Negative Roll System. It requires a taller spindle that allows you to run little static camber and nets you aggressive negative camber gain when you turn the car in. This system will cost more, and unlike the G-plus system that allows you to lower the car as far as you want, the ride height needs to be within an inch or so of stock. Don't get us wrong-both systems will be a lot better than your stock parts, but you need to know which system is right for you.
This stuff fixes all the problems inherent with a 45-year-old car. Instead of standard rubber bushings that deflect, creak, and squeak, all the Global West parts come with Del-a-lum bushings. Here is the basic pitch: Rubber bushings deflect and have a tendency to offset and distort. This is called cold flow and causes alignment problems and deficiency in handling. With the Del-a-lum bushings, you are going to get longevity in addition to the aluminum's unwillingness to distort your suspension angles or bind, causing mysterious and frustrating handling problems.
In the rear, the G-plus package does a couple of important things. The adjustable upper control arms allow you to set or reset your pinion angle without removing the arm from the car. Drag racers know that the pinion angle is key to getting the car out of the hole at the dragstrip, and the same is true for getting it out of a corner. The uppers also control the lateral movement of the differential that blows out the stock bushings. The adjustable uppers use a spherical bearing that allows the rearend to move without binding. The lowers use a Del-a-lum bushing on the differential side to control lateral movement and a spherical bearing on the frame side, so there is no bind as the bars travel through their arc. There is also a set of rear frame supports that ties the control arm to the factory crossmember to stabilize the upper mounts and prevent them from being broken when you nail the gas pedal. All these things add up to a rearend that doesn't bind or wander. Stability here correlates to a controllable car in the corners.
The last two bits of the puzzle are the springs and the shocks that control them. Forget cutting or heating your stock springs, when a pair of good springs is about $150. Factory springs are designed to give you a cushy ride. The downside is a lot of body roll as the springs compress in a corner. Performance springs that are too aggressive give you little or no body roll and a stiff, jarring ride. The springs we used have 120-pound rates that lower the car 1 inch in the front and 11/4 inches in the rear. They retain a bit of the street feel without the harshness of an overly aggressive road race spring. These springs work well with a 11/8-inch sway bar.
We didn't install shocks on the car in this story because of the large role they play in the tuning of the suspension and the number of manufacturers that supply them. Norrdin advised us to buy either a single- or double-adjustable shock. His reasoning suggests that installing a good suspension and then not having a way to adjust how it performs doesn't make sense. We agree. You don't have to get the ultradollar double-adjustable shocks if you aren't going to do any fine-tuning or serious road racing, but at least go for the single-adjustable type. If you are going to do more than just try to look cool, get the good shocks.
The parts and prices can be fine-tuned for each individual user and discounted as a kit. Therefore, the parts and prices for this story might be different for you, as will the experience.
Caster, Camber, and Toe
Caster: Viewed from the side of the car, this is the angular difference between the imaginary line drawn through the center line of the wheel and the imaginary line drawn through the upper and lower ball joints.
Camber: Viewed from the front of the car, this is the difference between the top and bottom of the wheel as it is tilted in, toward the car or out, away from the car.
Toe: As viewed from top of the car, this is the difference in distance between the front edge of each tire as it points in, toward the centerline or out, away from the centerline of the car.

Sure, boxed suspension bits are stronger and flex less, but these things go way beyond that. Note the spherical bearing (left) and Del-a-lum bushing (right). There is also a provision for a rear sway bar if needed.This is a close-up of a Del-a-lum bushing. The outer housing is made of aluminum with a plastic rotating sleeve inside. Both are pressed into the control arm with steel and plastic thrust washers on the outside of the bushing that allow the arm to pivot without binding. The whole thing can be lubed through a Zerk fitting.The parts come with instructions, so we won't repeat them here. It is important to torque the parts using Global West specs so you don't crush the bushings and destroy their ability to rotate with the suspension parts. This is Eric Norrdin torquing the 1/2-inch bolts to 70 ft-lb.The upper control arm sets the pinion angle. To get it in the ballpark, we adjusted the new arm by bolting it to the old one.The upper control arm has an adjuster with right- and lefthand threads so you can set the pinion angle in the car. The base setting was negative 2 degrees.You can't see it in this photo, but the rear frame supports tie the control arms to the frame to protect the crossmember and the mounting points. What you can see is the bearing sleeve that allows the control arm to pivot without binding.The upper control arm bolts will fight. Try a C-clamp to push the bolt out of the arm instead of a hammer.
Instead of a flat plate, the Global lowers have a pocket and a spring cushion that index the springs. This places the load on one full coil instead of just the tip. You can also make ride-height adjustments by shimming below the spring pocket.If your car's frame is straight, two 1/8-inch shims in the front and rear will get the car driveable to the alignment shop.The upper control arms can be used with stock, 2-inch-drop, or any other 7-inch spindle. We reused the stock El Camino drum spindle after it was cleaned and painted.We used Baer's new Pro Plus front brake kit that uses the stock spindle to mount a large-by-huge, 13-inch, two-piece rotor and a six-piston caliper that uses C5 and C6 Corvette pads.Even though we used the Baer template to check for rotor and caliper clearance on our 17x9.5 Vintage Wheel Works V48s, when we did the final install, the caliper touched the face of the spokes. We fixed the problem with a 1/8-inch shim but recommend you call Baer and the wheel manufacturer before you try to fit the big 14-inch kit. All wheels are different.

Leonard Simon Nimoy was born on Mar. 26, 1931 in Boston, MA. The son of Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrants Max and Dora Nimoy, young Leonard began acting when he was just eight years old. At the age of 17, Nimoy landed his first major role as Ralphie in Clifford Odets's "Awake and Sing." Nimoy's earliest features were singularly undistinguished, including the serial "Zombies of the Stratosphere" and "Francis G s to West Point" (both 1952), which continued the thrilling adventures of the famed talking mule. Nimoy did, however, do his level best in the title role of a low-budget boxing flick with religious overtones, "Kid Monk Baroni" (1952). After serving a brief stint in the U.S. Army Res...

Chief Wants To Wait A Year
Longwell: Stay put on health care coverage
October 9, 2013
BENWOOD — Benwood Police Chief Frank Longwell says he will recommend to city council that they opt to extend Benwood's current employee health insurance contract by more than one year, giving the......
Does Fast Frankie own the city of Benwood? He is just the Chief Of Police, nothing more. They have a Mayor and council to run the town, why doesn't he just keep his nose out of it and run the police force? The bridge might have well been down now also if he had kept himself out of it. Fast Frankie wants his name out in the public and he is just the Chief Of Police. Leave well enough alone!!! Geeeeeez

Unofficially, he is the Boss, engineer, zoning manager, code enforcement manager, spokesman, treasurer, public works director and demolition expert.

Chief Longwell should be commended for his to the city. He is assertive, knowledgeable and appreciated by the people who elected him.

The city is in such great financial shape that they can afford to pay 100% of the health care and the big salaries that the department heads get, becuase they ignore the fundamental services of goverment and pick and choose who, how, when and what to do in accordance with Longwell's wishes. One only need review news articles and talk to the citizens of Benwood to see who really runs that monarchy!!

Just for the heck of it, how about asking the mayor or council members for comment once in a while instead of the police chief.

Let's see....hmmmm.....the article says Benwood has a 'cadillac' policy for it's city employees and it's totally FREE to the employees. ObamaCare is good for the city but would cost the participants.
Thus, 'let's stay pat and wait another year before we try ObamaCare' would be logical for any who have no intent of ever paying a dime. Makes sense, just sayin'

Out of Stock
Item # AAS0014
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Bib Shorts in stock than that.View Similar Products
Assos T FI.13 Lady S5 Women's Bib Shorts $0.00
Even with all of the choices out there for women's bib shorts, one ride in the Assos T FI.13 Lady_S5 Women's Bib Shorts will make you a devotee. After all, we always say that Assos' biggest competition is Assos, and with a 25% lighter construction, 35% more breathability, and 18% more compression than Assos' other women's bib shorts, the T FI.13 Lady_S5 are undeniably top-shelf.
Assos' wisdom led to the seemingly-funky, backwards-looking bib design. However, it isn't backwards, it's future-forward. In fact, it's the Assos Buckle Closure Mechanism (ABC-M). To provide the perfect fit for a wide range of women, the adjustable buckle can slide into any one of three loops stitched into the front of the short. This allows you to customize the fit of the short as a whole. And, unlike regular bib-less shorts, the shorts are held in place primarily by the tension of the bib strap. This means that you won't have an elasticized waistband putting pressure on your tummy as you ride -- this is the exact reason why the pros who race the Tour all choose bib shorts, not regular shorts. Comfort is paramount.
The general design of T FI.13 Lady_S5 is an easy visual cue to indicate that Assos has totally re-engineered its shorts. Just about everything on these shorts are different. It's easy to notice the different-colored exterior grippers, one Silver and one Black, and the external tags in back -- both details are driven by comfort. But, what about the Green'ish, Clinique-colored panel in the middle of the bibs? While a striking color, it's actually a carbon fiber mesh material that's lighter, more breathable, and substantially less prone to odor retention than Lycra.
The stretchy material in the rest of the shorts is also different than earlier Assos offerings. T FI.13 uses A430 on the outside panels and A431 panels on the inside of the legs. The A430 fabric has greater venting than other varieties, and A431 is Assos-speak for compression materials. Furthering the squeeze is the flat-panel stitching that results in less stretch. On the negative, it takes a bit more work to get these on. But that's the only negative. Once they're on, the shorts stay in place, squeezing the muscles gently while providing a perfect and adaptable fit through any riding position.
T FI.13's most noticeable change is actually the chamois. The Clinique color is used here again to call attention to the change. The smooth, Clinique-colored top-layer is light, breathable, and transfers moisture to the outside of the garment. Under the cover, and stitched to the outside of the shorts, is the actual padding. While the two separate pads are right next to each other, they're not stitched to each other as to allow them to operate independently. The result is less heat and moisture buildup, less sliding on the saddle, and even greater comfort.
One note to keep in mind: Assos designs all of its clothing with the Assos Ergonomic Pattern Design philosophy. When you put these bib shorts on, they'll pull and bunch when you're standing straight up looking in the mirror.

What is the inseam on these Assos bibs and also the shorts?
Looked on the *Assos' site, but inseams are not given for some reason. I can tell you the length of my Assos' H F1 Lady_S5 shorts are (size XL): 6"; can be tweaked slightly longer.
Hoping to pick up a pair of these, will have to mortgage the house! Will let you know what they measure if you haven't purchased yours already...
Happy Trails and Hope this Helps Some!

Chris ist ein äußerst liebenswerter Vermieter. Man fühlt sich sofort zuhause. Er bemüht sich sehr umeinen, und ist äußerst hilfsbereitschaft.
Das Zimmer war sehr schön und ich habe himmlisch geschlafen. Es ist ein traumhaftes Haus, ich werde mit Sicherheit nicht zum letzten mal dort gewesen sein.
Die Verbindungen nach Liverpool sind wunderbar, ein paar Schritte und man ist schon an der Bushaltestelle.Ebenso ist gleich um die ecke ein kleiner Supermarkt und ein Chinese, bei dem man das Essen mitnehmen kann.
I enjoyed my stay at Chris house very much.Chris is a very nice man with good british humor I like.When I arrived with my Friend, Chris drove us with his car to a next restaurant.In the morning we eat breakfast and he gave us lots of informations.At the last day we were too late to catch our flight back home,Chris just bring us with his car to the airport so we could made it back home.Thank you,thank you,thank you,I got a feeling to have a new friend ,I want to come back soon. Best stay ever !!!
Chris picked us up from the Airport and gave us a lift back to the Airport and made breakfast for us.
He provided us with all necessary information about Liverpool and surrounding. The bus stop is Close to the house, you get directly to the city center in about 30min. It's also possible to take a bus close to his house that stops in the surrounding of the Liverpool FC Anfield Stadium in about 30 min.
It was nice to have a talk together. You feel like home at a friends place and not like staying in a superficial hotel. :-)
He was just decorating the house and the garden, to allways keep it in a good state. It would be lovely, to get back to Liverpool and sit in the nice garden in the summer. We found Chris is a nice and interesting fellow, who really cares about his guests.
Thank you Chris!
We had a good time in Liverpool. :-)
The room was nice and Chris was very friendly.
We had cookies, coffee, tea, fruit, cold drinks, joghurt and strawberrys on the room.
Not to Forget the fresh flowers.
The room is well furnished with a nice bed, big wardrobe, chest of drawers, big mirror, a fridge, water cooker and a microwave. Lovely view at the garden.
Chris is so friendly, makes you feel like home.
Prima locatie, good place to stay, lekker ontbijt, good breakfast,
Echt engels huis sfeervol ingericht. Komen zeker nog een keer terug om van de serre te genieten. In februari was het daar te koud voor
I was lucky that I could be the first time in Liverpool in October 2014 in order to watch a game of my favorite club Liverpool at Anfield there. The host, Chris, was very nice and tried to make my stay as pleasant as possible. The room was very nicely decorated and the central location of the acommodation was perfect. Chris was preparing its guests every morning breakfast, which was also very good. In addition, Chris could help me with useful information about the city and was so helpful that he drove me to the stadium and, if necessary, would also picked me up again. If for me should give again the opportunity to come to Liverpool, so I would be happy if I could use the property of Chris again, because I was with my stay there very satisfied.
Lieber Chris,
vielen Dank für deine Gastfreundlichkeit. Es waren sehr angenehme 2 Nächte in deinem Haus und dem schönen Zimmer.
Und danke für das leckere Brot :)) habe das sogar extra mit nach Deutschland mitgenommen
Für alles weitere wünsche ich dir alles alles gute. Du bist ein sehr netter Mensch!!!
Beste Wünsche
Excellent accueil, personne très agréable. Merci pour ce court séjour. Sans aucun doute, je recommanderais l'adresse à des amis qui se rendraient à Liverpool.
I've spent a wonderful time in Chris' house during my visit to Liverpool.
Chris is a very kind and thoughtful person. He arrenged everything at my arrival to Liverpool aripot: he came to pick me up and drove me to his house. He also gave me a lift when I left. It realy woths spendind some time chatting with him and if you ask him, he will give you good advice about visiting the city.
Chris' house is about 8 km from the city center, but is well comunicate with bus and train. I highly recomend going by train, it's easier and cheaper then the bus. Nearby you can find two pubs where typical british meals and beer are served. And if you like going on foot, you can have a lovely walk towards Penny Lane which will take you about a half an hour.
The house is old, but well preserved. It has all the basic services you need: bath, kitchen, dinnig room and two living rooms. It also has a nice covered terrace at the rear ideal for relaxation and tranquility. Moreover, you can use WiFi if it's needed.
The room I stayed was large, airy and bright.
As a sum up I highly recomend Chris' house if you are planning going to Liverpool.
Me and my mother spent only one night at Liverpool and hopefully we had Chris as a host, because he helped us with everything we needed. The room was very clean and comfortable. He took us to some places that would be difficult to find by bus. A very kind and friendly guy. We had a wonderful time there.

I'll revive it:
The best feeling in the world has to be falling asleep after a massive masturbation session.
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
best feeling in the world is when xion deletes a massive ammount of shitty posts for a thread
I'm going to have to agree with Tim on this one; sorry Mex
best feeling in the world is eating girl scout cookies while watching matlock.
best thing in the world is the possibility of getting a kitten
walrus you win.
but i never had that feeling
it's just a possibility, so I'm trying not to get too excited. my mom doesn't want another cat, so it might fall through. but my dad wants one too and my mother basically does anything my father tells her to so if he puts his foot down on the matter it's pretty much affirmative.
The best thing in the world is feeling you get when your little brother just built a big thing of legos or a sand castle and you kick it down with your feet and then laugh and jump around.
That sounds like crazy mean
I'm surprised Tim, I thought you would have said yourself.
I must agree with Darth here, 'Tis fun when he's been yelling at you for the past two hours.
The best thing is eating a ripe banana.

Installing NGINX and PHP-FPM - Setup for PHP-FPM
Previous section
Installing NGINX and PHP-FPM - Setup for NGINX
The steps in this article guide you through adding pool information to the PHP-FPM setup that you previously completed.
When you entered the command to install PHP-FPM, the system created a
default configuration for PHP-FPM. This default configuration might have
included a directory for your sockets to reside in while they are
active. If it did not, you must create this directory. In the following
example, the sockets are placed in the
/var/run/php5-fpm/ directory.
Use the following command to create the directory:
mkdir -p /var/run/php5-fpm/
Sockets automatically spawn in this if you are using the virtualhost setup and PHP-FPM pool template provided. No more action is required on your part.
To complete the setup, move to the
/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/ directory
where you will set up the different UNIX sockets on which PHP-FPM will
Note: For your system to function properly, you must create a new pool for every virtual host that you set up.
The pool files should follow this naming convention:
Following is a template for the pool files. Replace all instances of DOMAINNAME with your domain name.
listen = /var/run/php5-fpm/DOMAINNAME.socket
listen.backlog = -1
listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = www-data

concert photography tips and tricks
by Tracy Ritter
This is the first picture I ever took at a concert (well, since my days of going to see New Kids on the Block when I was 16). I was about 7 or 8 heads back in this general admission crowd of 20,000+ people. I held my little point & shoot camera high above my head, trying to dodge hands, heads and other cameras, zoomed as far as I could, and prayed to come back with something decent.(…)

It's a little dreary in New York City today but the sun's been coming through intermittently lately and we're beginning to become convinced that Spring is in sight. What with Styleite calling that pretty, delicate Dolce & Gabbana eyelet dress this season's Balmain gold mini, we got to thinking about eyelet. It's a nice balance between sexy and sweet (as ladymags might say) but it also breathes well (duh) and is perfect for the outdoors when it gets a little less dreary… More


text: My experience is it depends on weather, rut, pressure, pretty much everything. I killed my bull in early Dec. at 11k most of the bulls we found were just below tree line. That year was very cold but not much snow. So depending on when your hunting I think that will determine we're to start to look.

I would like to ask you about multiple accounts and storing the copy of a sent message or draft. I added both another zimbra account and gmail account and all shares under both accounts appeared to me correctly. But when I wrote a message from that newly added account the copy of the sent message was stored under the "Sent" messages of the primary account. Is it possible to set up other accounts so that the copies of the sent messages (as well as drafts) would appear in the correspondig "Sent" box (i.e. sent box of newly added account)?
Thank you for your help
It happens to me both in ZCS 7.2 and ZCS 8.0

Sourced from The Washington Post; Companies Try to Stop Pay Comparisons-
Executive compensation at the nation's largest firms has more than quadrupled in real terms since the 1970s. In 1970, average executive pay at the nation's top companies was 28 times the average worker income. By 2005, executive pay had jumped to 158 times that of the average worker.
Some companies have willingly sought to restrain the disparities. Whole foods, the grocery chain, has aimed to limit cash compensation to 19 times the average pay. In 2010, the average annual pay was about $37,000, which dictated a salary cap of $705,000. This limit, however, does not apply to stock and option, and a couple of top officials earned much more. A.C. Gallo, the president and chief operating officer, earned $4.6 million.
Current laws require that executive's compensation be disclosed. A new requirement calls for the additional disclosure of median worker pay.
The Center on Executive Compensation, a group backed by 81 major companies including McDonalds, Lowe's, American Airlines, IBM, and General Mills- is lobbying against new rules that would force disclosures of that comparison. On Wednesday, a House committee approved a bill that would repeal the disclosure requirement. 29 Republicans and 4 Democrats supported the repeal; 21 Democrats opposed it.
The companies and their allies in Congress call the comparisons between the chief and everyone else in the company "useless."
Rep Nan A.A. Hayworth (R-N.Y.) filed the bill too repeal the disclosure: Disclosing such comparisons "can mislead or confuse investors…It creates head but sheds no light." She also said the calculation of the ratio would be a burden for companies, especially those with global operations.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who added the requirement to the financial regulatory overhaul bill that passed last year, said: "The real reason House Republicans want to keep the typical worker's pay secret is that it may embarrass some companies to reveal that they pay their CEO in the range of 400 times what they pay their typical worker.

As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs
Good news!
Isn't this a case of manslaughter and not murder?
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
Sweet, sweet justice.

I haven't seen where they have called it manslaughter or murder; that would be up to the DA when they arrest the person responsible.
Murder implies there was intent to kill.
There is no way they charge him with murder.
Even manslaughter will probably be tough.

high rate of speed+leaving scene=murder(in my book).
this dudes intent is found in his departure from the scene. it is a very easy case.
I highly doubt this will be a murder trial. Glad they have the evidence they need though. A hit and run isn't a murder.

Sorry, but your book does not count. We go by the book of law.
I highly doubt the charges would be murder. Manslaughter seems most likely. I wasn't there, so I really don't know, but my guess is that it was an accident followed by a really poor decision to flee the scene.
Originally Posted by BryceC

tell that to the family. pretty sure he is not coming home.
if, as police reports indicate, he murdered Mark by his excessive speed, reckless 'accident', then attempted to cover his crime up by leaving. that speaks to murder, not manslaugher. the really nice thing for the muderer is, he has had more than several days to come up with a story, cover up evidence, and enjoy life. Kinda different than what the victim and his family have been doing since last week.
Voluntary manslaughter at the very least. It's not like he stopped to see if the guy was ok...or stopped at all to get involuntary manslaughter. Who knows, unless the cyclist died immediately, stopping and calling an ambulance may have saved the cyclist's life thus the difference between an accident (involuntary) and voluntary.
A lot of things to deal with here: The guy is 75 years old, some sort of medical condition maybe. Poor eyesight and didn't see the biker, Sun in his eyes. I'm not siding with the old guy, but until we hear how it actually happened, it's difficult to pass judgment.Look at the guy on I-80 a few weeks ago that was going the north in the south bound lanes. The guy had a diabetic condition. I will say if the guy is found guilty it probably should be manslaughter charges as leaving the scene of an accident, failure to render aid to the injured, speeding or wreckless driving charges. Tough situation to be in right now. Makes you wonder what the old guy was thinking all the time that this was being run in the news.
Just because he's not coming home doesn't mean it was a murder. Honestly the guy is 75 years old anyway, it doesn't have to be a murder conviction for him to effectively have a life sentence.
As pride said, it was likely an accident followed by a terrible decision to flee the scene. God knows I've been sleepy and sped on back roads. Not saying what happened is alright or justifying it, I'm just saying it's not murder. Plus, unless the guy is a sociopath who sped up and swerved to kill the guy I highly doubt he's been enjoying life over the last week.
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines murder and nonnegligent manslaughter as the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another.
The classification of this offense is based solely on police investigation as opposed to the determination of a court, medical examiner, coroner, jury, or other judicial body. The UCR Program does not include the following situations in this offense classification: deaths caused by negligence, suicide, or accident; justifiable homicides; and attempts to murder or assaults to murder, which are scored as aggravated assaults.

CADIZ - Losing just one starter from a 14-7 squad leads to high expectations. That's exactly where Harrison Central finds itself as the season quickly approaches.
Coach Justin Clifford, who is embarking on his fourth season at the helm of the Huskies, is quite OK with that, too.
''These kids have been around and they realize what we expect from them,'' Clifford said. ''We realize the expectations are high and we're hoping we can take the next step, whether that's getting to the OVAC finals, winning a sectional or increasing our number of wins. It's all part of the process.''
The Huskies are led by a trio of talented seniors, who've certainly been around the block and back.
Seior guard Fletcher Watt (5-foot-11) is rounding back into form after undergoing an operation on his knee during the summer. Watt is coming off a junior campaign in which he averaged 16 points a game.
''Fletch hasn't been the same in terms of his blow-by quickness, but I think as time gets there, he'll get that back and regain that strength,'' Clifford said. ''Actually, it might be a good thing to slow him down a little bit, so he can take what the defense is giving him.''
On the interior, Nick Pelegreen (6-3) is coming off a season in which he averaged a double-double. The all-Ohio football player netted 15 points and ripped down 10 rebounds a game last season and Clifford thinks even bigger numbers are in store this winter.
''Nick really uses his body well,'' Clifford said. ''He understands the game exceptionally well and knows what he can and can't do physically. He's always in the right spot and that makes him quicker, bigger and tougher to defend. Nick plays bigger than his frame, and if he's scoring 15 or 20 a game, we're that much tougher to guard.''
Senior swing player Rashaen Mitchell returns with his 6-5, athletic frame. Coming off a brilliant football season, Mitchell is trying to improve on the nine points a game he averaged last season.
''If Rashaen is a threat on offense and uses his ability and length on defense, I think we're a much better and tougher team to beat. He's a great kid and has been a great leader for us. He's worked his butt off in the offseason.''
Sophomore Austin Kowalski (5-9) is back after a fine freshman season in which he saw significant varsity action and worked his way into the starting lineup.
''Austin is a feisty competitor,'' Clifford said. ''Even though he's younger in terms of his grade level, he's really got some good leadership qualities, which helps him out. He's only a sophomore, but it seems like he's been around forever. He loves the game, invests a lot of time and he's very skilled.''
As for the fifth spot, it's been a battle in practice.
''We feel we can go probably nine deep because each of the other guys (in the rotation mix) bring a different skill,'' Clifford said.
Battling for that final spot are senior Dalton Rutter (5-9), junior Nate Olmstead (5-9) and junior Cody Evans (5-9).
Three sophomores battling for minutes are Kalub Mitchell (5-11), Cory Yoho (5-9) and Ryan Kibble (5-10).


text: So I picked up some Wacem trikon broadheads last night. When I assembled and mounted it to my arrow my first impression was like these seem cute. As in small and cute. So I decided to break out the caliper. The package says 1 1/32" cutting diameter. 1/32" says to me that they are just barely over the 1" required by CO hunting regulations. I dont know how they squeaked out 1 1/32" cutting diameter. My caliper reads 13/16" at a stretch.. There is just no way to even imagine a 1 inch cutting diameter. needless to say the search is on for a good broadhead once these are returned. Shame on Wac'em!

When you're living in a city — or when you're not, but you don't want anyone to be able to snatch your purse away from you — you might want to consider going the crossbody route. I, for one, have fought this
trend longstanding style, because…well, I don't know. It makes me feel like I'm in seventh grade and wearing my purse how my mother told me to wear it, for safety's sake.
My other concern with the crossbody bag is that it looks so very, very 80s retro, and I know that the 80s aren't even in anymore, having been replaced by the 90s, which is terrifying, but that doesn't make me any more inclined to relive the days of big hair and lace gloves.
Still, recently, I'm starting to see the beauty in the crossbody, if only because the purse that I have now crushes the living shit out of my shoulder, constantly falls off and generally gets in the way, whereas I feel certain that if I slung a new bag across my torso, I'd have a better chance of it not getting in the way. Besides, there are lots of delightful crossbody bags to choose from. Here are a few.


text: Hummingbirds will soon begin their migration southward to Mexico and Central America. Believe it or not very little is known about what triggers their winter journey or why the males leave first. Many naturalists and volunteers banded some of these birds and tracked their movement but recording the movement of that same banded bird is a long shot. The average weight of a hummingbird is only around three grams so at this stage in our technology transmitters are just too heavy for the little bird. Some experts believe that the birds follow the insects. As insects retreat southward the hummingbirds follow their source of nourishment. These birds are carnivores after all. These birds can traverse an unbelievable five hundred miles in eighteen to twenty hours. Hummingbirds can average thirty miles per hour during the course of their migration. It's no wonder that a quarter of the males will perish in some stage of the journey. It's also no wonder that these small birds can lose over half of their body weight by the time they reach their winter destination. I will leave my hummingbird feeder out until I am sure they have all left. The birds have to fatten up before they depart. Some will more than double their body weight before their departure. Some ornithologists claim the birds will not leave until the first frost but I have never seen a hummingbird after October first. Clean those feeders and let's fatten up our little friends before they leave.

Debt blocks will fall from the top of the screen. You need to destroy the debt blocks by making them contact with the money blocks of the same colour. There are a limited number of money blocks, so you need to put the debt blocks of the same colour together (i.e. consolidate the loans) so that they can be destroyed by one money block. There are credit card blocks that will generate new debts for every 3 rounds, so try to cut the cards first. Use the arrow keys to move the blocks and press the Up and Down keys to rotate the blocks, press the Spacebar to drop the blocks.
Have fun!

ATLANTA (WXIA) -- Every day home on leave from war is a gift.
And the service members sleeping Thursday night in chairs and on carpets at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson Airport could only hope they'll be home in time for Christmas.
It was one of the busiest travel days of the season for the troops, and their trips home were interrupted indefinitely by bad weather -- not in Atlanta where they were changing planes, but at multiple other airports where they were trying to go.
"So you can imagine the impact that the weather has" on everyone, said the USO's Mary Lou Austin.
These are troops who take it to the Taliban in Afghanistan, but they were stopped cold in their tracks on their way back home by the snow storms shutting down airports throughout the Midwest.
"They've been released on leave, they're going home for the holidays, so this is really, really, really very important to them," Austin said.
Austin was armed with extra food, and volunteers and staffers around the clock, to take care of the troops for what may be days of unexpected camping in the USO's facilities at the airport.
"We have the best lounge chairs in the airport," she said with a smile, speaking of the amenities in the USO lounge on the second floor overlooking the airport's atrium.
One of those lounge chairs is home, for now, for U.S. Army Captain Julie Cordes, who can't get to Chicago.
"I have a husband and two children hanging out, waiting on me," she said, smiling as she thought of them.
She made it all the way to Atlanta from Afghanistan in record time -- "We got very lucky, got all the way to Atlanta before we had any delays."
She started to laugh, gently,
"I'm getting random email from my daughter -- 'Mom, are you coming home?' Question marks, question marks."
At least 4,000 troops transferred through Hartsfield Jackson this day alone.
And no one knows yet how many of them are trying to get on standby lists for other flights which are all, already, booked through Christmas Eve.
Capt. Cordes is thinking of her family, but she's also thinking of all the troops in Afghanistan who did not get Christmas leave this year.
"It's a lot of really long days" for soldiers during their tours of duty, "I can tell you everyone I work with, they're very engaged in the future of Afghanistan, it's a 24-hour proposition there. People don't sleep a lot [over there], they really don't."
Until they get to Hartsfield Jackson.
As she spoke, another soldier was sleeping soundly in another one of the "best lounge chairs in the airport," stuck here by the weather, maybe sleeping to music, thinking of the promise he might have made to his family this year -- "I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams...."
Ask Mary Lou Austin of the USO if she needs anything, right now, besides donations of money, for the USO and the troops, and she will tell you, yes -- some fresh fruit: apples, bananas. And orange juice.

200-Mile-Range Electrics. Right now most EV cars have a range of less than 100 miles under perfect (no A/C, no hills) conditions. Hybrids typically stretch that to get a range of 300 miles. But that's not enough to convince most consumers to switch from gasoline. Automakers already have access to batteries with larger driving capacity—they just need to figure out how to make them smaller (read: lighter) and less expensive. Elon Musk has already said it's a major goal for his team at Tesla. If all goes well, look for the same from GM, Nissan and Fisker.

482039 - 8/6/5 mm Trilastic Wetsuit
The Intelligent Wetsuit
• Strategically placed super elastic neoprene
• Unparalleled comfort
• Easy to don & doff
8mm neoprene chest (7 and 5mm in the other versions respectively).
Arms and legs in 6mm elastic neoprene (5 and 4mm). 6mm neoprene (5 and 4mm) on the thighs and gluteus for greater durability.
Seals at the neck, wrists, and ankles in 5mm neoprene (3.5mm). Incredibly easy to put on, these suits ensures flexibility and warmt.
Trilastic is our distinctive marking, the symbol of Mares know-how in terms of Neoprene.
At the start, Trilastic was identified with the idea of developing a dive suit with Neoprene sheets of different thicknesses. The greatest thickness is positioned at the core chest area and back, gradually thinning out on the arms and legs down to the wrists and ankles, where the material used is not just thinner but also more elastic, to improve seal and, of course, facilitate putting the suit on and taking it off.
Today, Trilastic has greater meaning. It is a world of materials, linings, finishes, zippers, and technical details that all aim to create the ideal suit for every need and every type of dive. Trilastic means mating the most suitable type of material to each section of the body for that particular type of dive.

Minors Snapshot - Integrated Science and Technology
The minor is a part of the Integrated Science and Technology, a program within the College of Integrated Science and Engineering.
The minor in ISAT mirrors the major in ISAT by having a breadth component and a depth component. The breadth component is satisfied through nine credit hours in Issues in Science and Technology and the Foundations of Instrumentation and Measurement. The depth component is satisfied through focused study in a concentration area requiring either nine or ten additional credit hours.
Students should note that many courses have ISAT prerequisites outside the minor (although equivalents to ISAT prerequisite courses will be accepted). In planning a sequence of courses for the minor, students are encouraged to meet with an ISAT adviser to ensure that all needed prerequisites will be taken in due course. In addition, before a student pursuing an ISAT minor can take any ISAT course, a grade equal to or higher than "C-" is required for all ISAT foundation courses that are prerequisites for another required ISAT foundation course.

How To Install Rear Quarter Panels And Mini Tubs - Step By StepWritten by on April 1, 2011
One of the shortcomings of the early Camaro is the lack of room to stuff some serious rear tires under the stock rear quarter panels. The shock mounts are outboard of the framerails, and the framerails themselves angle outward toward the rear corners of the car starting at about the axle centerline. These two factors have eliminated the option of traditional mini tubs - that is until Detroit Speed & Engineering developed a kit to make mini tubs, and a 335 tire, possible inside the stock F-body rear quarter panels. The Detroit Speed kit comes with a DVD and detailed instructions for installing these parts in a solid body, but this car needed both rear quarter panels and a trunk floor which, in a way, makes things easier because removing those parts grants greater access to do the wheeltub and framerail modifications.
Because high-quality, accurate parts are essential to the success of any restoration, Muscle Car Restorations (MCR) in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, uses Auto Metal Direct (AMD) as its source for sheetmetal. The modified inner halves of the wheeltubs from Detroit Speed played very nicely with the outer halves from AMD. Although we're taking a pretty big bite doing the rear quarter panels, trunk floor, and mini tubs all at once, this is more than likely what most of you will be faced with. So let's go for it.

|3M Green Corps reinforced weld grinding wheel 3 x 3/16 x 3/8

Start by getting all of the old parts out of your way to gain better access for drilling out spot welds. Be sure to properly brace and support the car so everything stays straight and square. In this photo, the outer and inner quarters have been removed, exposing the rusty wheeltubs and trunk extensions.Even after the spot welds are drilled with Blair Rotabroach Cutters, some parts may need a little help getting separated. You should also plan on using up a few Spedecut cutoff wheels and an air chisel to aid in removing some of the remaining pieces.When you are pulling panels, be sure to leave the shock mounts in place, as you will be cutting them per Detroit Speed's measurements.Before you remove the inner part of the wheeltub, add a brace to support the trunk hinge mount and rear valance area. The mount will need to be removed, shortened, and fitted to the new inner tub.Surprise, surprise! MCR found some hidden damage and determined that it would be best to replace the framerails also. It's not that much extra work with everything else out of the way, but custom jigs must be built prior to removing the originals to ensure that the new AMD rails will fit exactly like the old ones. A positive surprise was that the AMD rails were made from 0.095-inch steel; the factory ones were made with 0.040-inch.The quarter is actually glued into the driprail channel, so you'll need a grinder to remove that edge. Again, cut away the major portion of what's left so you can gain access to the various spot welds and can then pick away at the rest of it.Try to save a short piece of the quarter along the rocker seam, as it's difficult to gain access to weld the new quarter to the rocker. The new metal will be cut and butt-welded to this old section.
Even though Detroit Speed provides templates for making the filler plates, MCR chose to make its own patterns with some extra height so the inner half of the tub could be welded directly to the plates.A section of the floor under the rear seat also needs to be moved inboard to make room for the forward part of the inner tub.This really should go without saying, but given the variations from one car to the next, you absolutely must mock up and test-fit every part (as many times as it takes) to be sure it fits properly on your car before any final welding is done. Auto Metal Direct and Detroit Speed are both producing superior quality parts, but don't assume that every part will just slip effortlessly into place. Be prepared to massage the parts and do some custom fitting. Clamp it all in place and mark the parts so the proper registrations can be duplicated during final welding.This Detroit Speed crossmember is part of the mini-tub kit and not only provides a mounting location for the upper shock mounts, now inboard of the framerails, but also adds considerable additional strength to the back half of the car.For added strength, MCR opted to close up the openings in the sheetmetal with 1/8-inch plate. The red line marks the lower edge of the inner wheeltub and provides a reference for its exact location.As part of the final welding of the modified part of the framerail, an additional piece was added to the top of the rail to fully box in this section.Holes were punched about every 2 inches in the flange of the outer half of the tub before it was tacked to the inner half. The tub assembly will then be clamped in place while the trunk floor is being installed. Note the reference marks that will ensure exact proper fit when it comes time to do the final welding.
This trunk floor radius has to be sectioned and moved back to the new frame profile to accommodate the new inner tub location.With the trunk floor fit confirmed and clamped in place, the shock mount crossmember was turned upside down and a straightedge used to mark the final trim point. The floor will eventually be welded directly to the crossmember.From underneath the car, draw a trace around the frame so its location is known when drilling the holes for the plug welds that will attach the floor to the frame. Holes will need to be drilled everywhere there was a factory spot weld so the parts can be plug-welded together.All the factory spot welds are replaced with plug welds. Remaining original parts will have the holes created by drilling out the spot welds, while the new parts will have to have holes punched in them.The trunk floor drop-off must be in place before the quarter goes on. Cleco pins are a great alternative when an area can't be reached with a clamp. Once the drop-off is properly located with the quarter clamped in place, remove the trunk floor to clamp and plug-weld the drop-off to the floor.MCR no longer re-leads the factory seams, preferring instead to weld them and use the latest body fillers. Of course that means any remaining traces of lead must be removed to guarantee a trouble-free weld. A Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip disc does a great job. All e-coated surfaces should be cleaned, too.
Leaving the original doorjamb in place allows MCR to adjust the door-to-quarter gap before final welding. Enough material is left so the new quarter will overlap the old. The 0.035-inch Spedecut wheel can then cut through both parts leaving the perfect sized gap for butt welding.The secret to achieving invisible, distortion-free butt welds is to place successive tack welds in between each other, quenched with compressed air only, until the gaps between the welds are about 1/4 inch apart. It is then OK to use no more than three quick tack welds to close the gap. Never try to run even a short bead. No stitch welding. Only simple tack welds.MCR prefers a 3M Reinforced Weld Grinding Disc to smooth out the welds. Be careful not to remove any of the sheetmetal. It's easier than you think to produce a thin spot. When done correctly, the seam practically vanishes.

Fairfax Families 4 Kids
Fairfax Families4Kids gives youth ages 12 to 21, currently living in foster care or out of foster care, the opportunity to participate in group and individual mentoring, and spend quality time in the community engaged in regularly scheduled, structured group activities. Sample group activies include: chess tournaments, bowling, basketball camps, fitness and dance classes, badminton, horseback riding, 5-K walks, etc. The youth also participate in community service projects such as: packing school backpacks for children in Haiti, sending boxes to soldiers, raising money for the homeless, etc.
A mentor is a child's friend. The program provides structured, twice monthly activities to encourage the mentoring relationship. All adults interested in mentoring must first engage in "group mentoring" where they get to know all of the youth participating in Fairfax Families4Kids. After a period of group mentoring, they are matched with a youth who become their mentee - listening and responding to the questions and concerns of their mentee, and engaging them in other one-on-one community activities that are of interest to the youth.
Adult volunteers are also needed to help with the community activities.
Help Us Help The Youth In Our Community
Fairfax Families4Kids works because of community involvement. The
program gives individual adults and groups an important role to play in
helping our youth and teens find permanent families, and lasting or
permanent connections with caring, supportive adults.
To get involved with Fairfax Families4Kids, please contact Nakia King, LPC, NCC, Program Coordinator, by phone at 703-324-7518 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

The old saying the pen is mightier than the sword, or who ever has the pen wins ... after reminiscing on your campaign pledges, I vaguely remember any of the bills you signed thus far as your campaign promises or your first 100 day agenda.
Question, why have you turned your pen into a sword so quickly toward legislation you never campaigned on, i.e., reducing unemployment benefits while North Carolina has one of the highest unemployment; refusing to allow over 500,000 eligible N.C. residents to join Medicare free to N.C. with the federal government paying 100 percent, then 90 percent after three years; eliminating unearned income credit; privatizing Medicare; charter school commission; on and on.
Now, voter ID, reducing early voting days, no Sunday voting, all which are unconstitutional under the 14th, 15th, and 24th amendments of the United States Constitution, all with no proof of voter fraud. Craven, Pamlico and Beaufort counties have no occurrence of any voter fraud. Again, voter ID was nowhere on your campaign pledge to suppress voting.
Lastly, no funding in your budget to protect Cherry Point Marine air station, the largest employer east of Interstate 95, with its billion dollar economic impact on Eastern N.C., you did pledge on a visit to Havelock and New Bern that you would protect military bases. N.C. is considered a military friendly state, I ask you to fund keeping NC advocates fighting for our bases. I ask you use the sword to cut off all the pending legislation in committees you didn�t campaign on.
I ask you to govern with compassion, inclusion, and with all N.C. residents� interests first, and stick to your campaign promises, not others

Short-term plans
- Complete programme and course mapping exercise (about 80 percent completed)
- Make all information available (not only e-learning products) on IUCN and/or local websites
- Indentify and recruit CEC members in institutions of higher learning and other providers of learning (e.g. NGOs) areas and countries (with specific emphasis on the recruitment of young professionals)
- Market the first World Conservation Institute certificate programmes to potential end users
In the longer-term, this CEC Specialty Group could contribute to a set of regional-specific World Conservation Institute e-learning certificate programmes by (1) identifying regional universities which are strong on specific themes and (2) using the World Conservation Institute as a vehicle to facilitate collaboration by regional institutions of higher learning and other providers of learning in the development of e-learning. The group will also seek to secure or raise funding for national and regional workshops, and to link up with eLearning Africa.

Podiums, Speaking Stands, Lecterns & More
Podiums are found everywhere from the school house to the White House. Whenever someone is speaking, they need something to stand behind. Podiums come in all shapes and sizes depending on your needs and Sam's Club has what you're looking for.
A basic speaking stand consists of a small table area on a single stand. It is large enough to hold notes or a pen, but not much else. This type of podium is great for smaller spaces or in situations where it won't be used too often. Its small size makes it easy to store. Table top lecterns are also portable and easy to store; however if you have a bit more space or need something more permanent, stand up podiums are a good option. They provide a more stable base for the speaker and sometimes offer more storage space with shelves or locking doors. Stand up podiums are great for classrooms, conference rooms, and even churches, where someone is regularly standing up to speak. Shelves allow the storage of books, computers or other items regularly needed for presentations.
When a presentation regularly calls for some media support, you'll need a media stand or podium with a few additional options. 3-shelf stands have plenty of space for a laptop and a projector for multi-media presentations. You can even find podiums with wheels for easy transport from room to room.
From hardwood stand up podiums to portable speaking stands, you'll find the podiums you need today at great prices when you shop Sam's Club today.
