No Sew Tea Towel Kitchen Curtains
My grandmother embroidered these beautiful tea towels for me when I married my sweet husband 10 years ago. Each one has a little pot of herbs. They match my compost crock perfectly. I've kept them in a drawer in my studio hoping to put them to some great artsy use because I didn't want them to get stained in my kitchen. I thought about using them in a quilt (I'm still planning to do that with some of my other embroidered tea towels) but then I saw this really cute curtain idea in Better Homes and Gardens a few months ago and had my "a-ha!" moment. They provide some much needed privacy from the neighbors now that our leaves are down for the winter.
All I did was hang a cafe rod across the kitchen window and use curtain rings with clips to fold over and clip up my cute little towels. I love the fact that they are no-sew and I can change them for the holidays.
Now, I think about my grammy while I'm doing dishes at the sink and remember her pot roast and zucchini bread, picking vegetables in her garden, watching her sew adorable little clothes for my Barbies and baby dolls, looking through family photo albums together, and best of all her warm hugs. It's such a simple reminder and fills my heart with joy.

Oprah Has Serious Oscar Buzz For The Butler. Does She Deserve It?
Technically Oprah already has an Oscar. She didn't pick it up after her nomination for The Color Purple in 1986, but-- maybe as a consolation prize-- she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2011. Even the Academy isn't immune to her blinding celebrity. And that may become even more important this year, as Oprah has thrown herself into the thick of the Oscar conversation with her performance in Lee Daniels' The Butler.

Lee Daniels Explains Why Jimmy Carter Got Left Out Of The Butler
The Butler is Daniels' fourth feature, and by far his most ambitious in terms of story, following White House butler Cecil Gaines as he works for every President between Eisenhower and Reagan. Daniels, a former casting director and producer who knows the value of selling a film, has said that he had to cast as many big names as possible to sell the film overseas, so he not only has Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker in the title role and Oprah Winfrey as his wife

Despite earning a 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Kick-Ass 2 is off to a strong start, and THR points out it has the advantage of a built in audience as it is a sequel of a hit. Its expected the demographic for this pic will skew younger than the rest of its competition, but that makes its R-rating an obstacle.

But somehow, in the course of a 15 minute interview with the film's star, Forest Whitaker, we managed to cover even more history than that

How Lee Daniels' The Butler Stacked Up 41 Producers
THR details the complicated fundraising that lead to an absurdly long list of producers that includes a New Orleans heir, a Ukrainian billionaire, a NBA veteran, and one of the U.S.s most successful African-American entrepreneurs. With a proposed budget of $30 million, Lee Daniels The Butler was by far his most expensive production yet, costing more than twice what his last film, the polarizing crime-drama The Paperboy did.

Lee Daniels' The Butler Has A New Poster That Makes No Sense Whatsoever
So the image of the man wrapped in the flag is striking, and you can't argue with that list of names off the side-- it's got to be the most diverse cast this side of, uh, Lincoln maybe? But there's a lot going on in this poster that I can't figure out at all. The tagline, "One Quiet Voice Can Ignite A Revolution," really has nothing to do with the central character of Cecil Gaines

The Fight Over The Butler's Title Now Includes A Lawyer Fresh From The Supreme Court
Movie studios and executives go to war with each other all the time, but we rarely get wind of it. Few moviegoers care when a certain exec is fired or replaced with another, when one studio gets the rights to a hotly contested book adaptations instead of another, or even when two studios team up to get a movie made and then fight over the profits-- that's how the Hollywood sausage gets made, and it rarely affects what you actually see in theaters

First Look At Alan Rickman And Jane Fonda As Ronald And Nancy Reagan In The Butler
From what we've seen of Steven Spielberg's Lincoln we know that at the very least Daniel Day-Lewis has become a honest-to-god doppelganger for the United States' 16th president. We don't know how many hours of makeup the Oscar winning actor went through or what kinds of processes were used, but Spielberg couldn't have cast the role better unless he built a time travel machine and went to go get the real guy back in 1865.

Now she'll be getting the opportunity to play the woman that many think of whenever they hear the word conservative.

For some reason the more I thought about it, the more it ****** me off. I don't even remember WHO it was now - but I remember thinking then -that that is one of the worst things a person ever said to me.

i own this device and think it it great. someone asked why have 128mb nand? sure, maybe the payload will never be more than 128kb, but thats not the point. it doubles as a flash drive, so u can have your app installers, multiple payloads, etc on it without having to attach two usb devices.
also, when you connect to the ps3 via ftp, you can send files directly to the p3go. that means you can update your payload without even plugging in the dongle to your computer! this is something i love about it. and we are still in the early days of ps3 hacking, who knows what will be possible in several months or a few years?
one possibility is loading custom firmwares from usb - so why not have those files on the jailbreak device? point is that this device opens the door to many possibilities and is in my opinion as future proof as it could possibly be. the open source factor is important - even if u don't care about open source, this is a good thing because it means when/if the company stops supporting/making the device, the community will still be able to improve it. if you are looking to buy a ps3 dongle, i highly suggest this one!

Exquisitely British The train was very crowded and, a U.S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well-dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?' The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular. 'Americans are so rude.My little Fifi is using that seat!' The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was still under that dog. 'Please Ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.' She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!' This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down. The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honour! This American should be put in his place!' An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, 'Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the window'
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.' He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard 'Jesus is watching you.' Startled, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. 'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot. 'Yes', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.' The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?' 'Moses,' replied the bird. 'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?' 'The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus.

Hi all,
I installed Zimbra desktop (windows) yesterday.
My hosting company uses port 225 for outgoing mail / SMTP
Zimbra comes up with an error saying 'some values are incorrect' and i had to resort back to port 25.
The reason they use port 225 aswell as 25 is some internet ISPs here block 25. So if i go to a customer and use their wifi, its quite common that under port 25 i can't send mail.
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WUSA) -- There are no excuses to miss your home work in Mr. Jernigan's calculus class at Quince Orchard High School. If there's a snow day, or you're sick, the work is still right at your fingertips. He uploads a lot of his lessons to YouTube!!
Students can do the equations at their own pace. If they don't understand the exercise the first time, they can start the video over again. How cool is that ?!!
When they submit their homework on line, Mr. Jernigan is available to correct it and send it right back.
During last year's "Snow-maggedon" in the DC area, there was no school for a week, but Mr. Jerningan's AP Calculus never missed a beat.
The student-teacher combination is a powerful one. Last year, Mr. Jernigan's class got the highest grade on the AP calculus final exam in school history.

CF Amp Mods
Good sounding, reliable NOS tubes are getting harder to find as time goes on. I found matched quads for $450. IFAIAC that's too much money to spend on something older than I am especially when you don't know how long it's really going to last. SO... I think going with a good strong new tube that's priced right and readily available and rolling in a new high quality cap is a better option....at least for me.
I've noticed in the reading I've been doing over the past several months caps are discussed like tubes. The authors use the same language and terms when describing what they lend or don't lend to the sound. Keeping that in mind I developed a 'modding plan' for my CF amps. I've read where some modders have replaced just the resistors and that alone made huge differences.
Better parts and all huh?
I welcome discussion....what do y'all think?
Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.

Cover story
From a dimly lit office in a tiny storefront in downtown Fort Myers, Fla., Cher Averill reaches across her crowded desk and holds up a single sheet of paper. "This is my prayer list," she says.
On the list are the names of some 30 homeowners in Lee County who are about to get bad news: Their homes are going into foreclosure, and Averill is the messenger.
Averill owns a process serving company in Fort Myers, and these days she has plenty of business: Florida has the second-highest foreclosure rate in the nation, according to a recent RealtyTrac report.
During the month of February, the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area where Averill works posted the worst foreclosure rates in the nation among metropolitan areas. One in every 84 homes was in foreclosure. That's seven times the national average.
For Averill, the foreclosure surge overwhelmed her small business. "We went from an average of six or seven cases a day to 55 to 60 cases a day in just six short months," she told WORLD.
Averill hired more full-time staff, but she eventually began diverting work to other companies in town, and still has almost more than she can handle.
Averill reviews her daily list of new cases and also reads the responses homeowners have submitted to the courts. While many people simply borrowed more money than they could pay back, others have also fallen on hard times: Some have lost jobs or husbands or health.
"So many of them rip my heart out," says Averill. "All you can do is just pray-pray that somehow they can put this behind them and go on, or figure a way out."
Figuring a way out is part of Eric Feichthaler's job. Feichthaler is the mayor of Cape Coral, a bedroom community of 170,000 people just over the Caloosahatchee River. Feichthaler took office in 2005 at the peak of the area's housing bubble.
The bubble began growing in 2003 when sunny skies and low interest rates drew thousands of new residents to the coastal area in Southwest Florida. Banks offering so-called "creative financing" paved the way for many buyers to borrow more money than they could afford.
Builders poured in from all over the country, and housing prices soared. From 2003 to 2004, the median price of a home in the area increased by 70 percent. By 2005, the price had shot up another 45 percent.
As the bubble swelled, so did speculative home building. "People I knew were building five, 10, 20 homes, and expecting they would sell them all," said Feichthaler. "It was a herd mentality."
When Feichthaler was elected in March of 2005, the city issued 800 single-family building permits in a single month. "Last month, we issued nine," he told WORLD.
As the supply of new homes drastically outstripped demand, prices fell. Meanwhile, interest rates, property taxes, and insurance costs went up, and mortgage holders began falling behind on payments. Others abandoned homes they couldn't sell. The city's economy-which was largely based on construction and real estate-began faltering.
Since then, Florida voters have approved a constitutional amendment aimed at lowering property taxes and reviving the housing market. Feichthaler believes reducing government spending is also a key to addressing the crisis. To that end, the mayor led his city's efforts to cut spending by $8 million last year. Cape Coral voters gave the mayor a line-item veto to curb wasteful spending as well.
Gary Scharf was part of the service-based economy in Cape Coral. For five years, Scharf owned a landscaping company that hit its peak in 2005 along with the housing market. A year later, the demand evaporated, along with Scharf's business. "I used nearly all my retirement to live off of this past year," he told WORLD.
Like others in Cape Coral, Scharf, who is married with two teenage sons, adapted to a new reality and found a new career: He now serves foreclosure notices full-time. Scharf works for Averill and two other processing companies in Fort Myers. He's been serving since late December.
After dinner each evening, Scharf loads a box of foreclosure notices into the backseat of his car. His task is straightforward: Present the papers, inform the owner he has 20 days to respond in court, and get a signature. What actually happens at homeowners' doors varies each night.
On a recent evening, Scharf pulled into the driveway of the first house on the list. The owner hadn't made a mortgage payment in more than five months. This homeowner politely signed the papers, but Scharf acknowledges that people occasionally grow angry. Still, he says "99 percent" of the people he serves aren't belligerent, and he doesn't carry a weapon or fear for his safety.
After hurrying through a spate of darkened homes, Scharf finally finds another owner at home. Pat Costello has lived in this modest, stucco home with his wife for two years. They bought at the peak of the boom and now owe more than the home's value.
Costello was a real estate appraiser, and his wife was a title agent. Both lost their jobs when the bubble burst. The couple has been trying to short sell their home-a process in which the owner sells the home for less than the outstanding mortgage and turns the proceeds over to the bank. The bank then considers the loan satisfied. "But no one has even looked at the place in three months," said Costello.
Costello isn't surprised to receive the foreclosure notice and is even optimistic about the future. He's only 24 years old and is thinking about becoming a fireman: "I think we'll all be better off in the long run."
Kristen Schroder isn't as sure. The single mother of a teenage son lost her job as a nurse's aide a few months ago. She fell behind on her bills and stopped paying her mortgage. Now she's trying to short sell her home, too. The agent recently dropped the selling price from $149,000 to $99,000.
Schroder is resigned to losing her home and acknowledges, "I probably brought some of this on myself." She's considered moving to Tampa to live with her brother, but there's one problem: "He's in foreclosure now, too."
After hours of serving papers, Scharf says the work is physically easy but emotionally tiring. "I served a lady a few weeks ago who just fell apart in tears," he said. "All I could do is hug her and pray for her," Scharf said.
Scharf finds support at his church, Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Cape Coral. Scharf's pastor, Oliver Claassen, says the 200-member church is struggling, too. Church members have lost jobs and congregational giving is down. The staff members have taken pay cuts, and the church has revamped its budget while trying to help members and outsiders who are struggling financially.
Jorge Acevedo, pastor of the 2,000-member Grace United Methodist Church nearby, says the crisis has hit his congregation hard, too: "Never in my ministry have I seen this kind of ordeal in terms of people being at wit's end." The church is helping members as much as possible, though giving is flat and they've already made staff cuts. "There's not a lot we can offer except for Jesus and prayer and each other," says Acevedo.
So far, that's been plenty. Acevedo says that as the economy has turned down, church attendance has gone up: "If anything, the uncertainty has created a spiritual hunger."
Claassen agrees and says his church has grown as well. "For so long we've been praying that God would lead us to the point where we would be dependent on Him. That's what He's done," he says. "It's a good season."

With so many fabulous Derby eve events to attend, a fashionista has to make some tough choices. This year I decided to attend the 24th Annual Barnstable Brown Gala and the first Unbrideled Eve party. Both events were star studded and full of fashion finds and crimes. I'd have to say from a collective sum Barnstable Brown Gala had some of the best dressed guests however both events were a fabulous way to spend the night before Derby. I hope you enjoy my images and commentary about who and what was on display the evening of Oaks 138!

As a distributor of lighting products it can be challenging and often time consuming to find the right products for your customers' needs. Also, constant changes in technology and recent government legislation can make it difficult to keep up. Most recently, LED lighting and the PAR Halogen/T12 Fluorescent lamp Phase-out have been keeping us busy. Here are a few things you should know:
LED lamps are becoming more popular by the minute! The good news is that this technology is rapidly improving and in turn, the cost is decreasing. Yes, LEDs may still come at a higher cost, but consider these worthwhile benefits:
Tags: Distributor, Lighting, LED, Phase-out, Halogen, T12, Linear fluorescentEISA, electronic ballast, green, energy efficiency, energy efficient, kit, retrofit, T5, T8, tips
If you're still using T12 bulbs to light your business, you're not alone. However, you may be in for a surprise: The magnetic ballasts used to light many of these bulbs are being phased out and many manufacturers have already discontinued their production, meaning that you'll need to upgrade sooner rather than later.
The technology that lit the first T12 bulbs over 70 years ago remains basically unchanged today, and there are many ways to light your space more efficiently. T8 and T5 systems can give you similar or even better light output and quality of light, all while saving you a substantial amount in energy costs.
There's probably a good reason that you've stuck with your T12's. Perhaps the lighting scheme you're using works well and you've never needed or wanted to change your fixtures. Maybe you've been concerned about the cost of buying new fixtures, or the disruption to business that would result from installing them. One option is to simply replace the ballast and the bulbs, but while you're already pulling the fixtures apart, it's worth considering taking one more step that can really help you save on energy costs.

I must admit I have a soft spot when it comes to the 2007 Oregon vintage. Many consider it to be somewhat of a wash because of the austerity of some of the wines. I however, love it's cool weather style and streamlined elegance that reminds me of Burgundy. Although Burgundy comes to mind because of the absence of lush fruit, there is a minerality and terroir that is reflected in these wines that is uniquely Oregon. I love a wine that speaks to it's home and the 07' vintage did just that.
On my not too distant trip to Oregon's Willamette Valley I was really surprised at the quality of the Riesling. Well, I'm never really shocked at quality coming from this type of place or from these type of people, but I was just not expecting the Riesling to be among my favorite whites that they make.
So this is the other wine I purchased at Trader Joe's the other day. It's a Soave and I think it cost me $3.99 if I remember correctly, just part of a little personal on-going experiment I've been conducting. I've been trying to see if there's any real value buys in the lower price tier.
I have been tasting quite a lot of Pinot Noir as of late and I guess you could say it's become my varietal of choice over the last year or so. I used to be such a Cabernet hog but slowly my palate has taking a liking to the subtleties of Pinot Noir and especially to single vineyard wines such as this, where you can really experience the terroir of each vineyard site. Single vineyard anything is fun, but with Pinot I think it's the most translucent.
Williams Selyem is and has for some time been one of my favorite wine producers. I remember tasting a flight of their wines about six years ago that blew me away. I was somewhat new to the wine business in terms of tasting a wide variety of wines from around the world, and when I tasted this very wine (the Russian River Pinot Noir) I knew I had to get on their mailing list.
It's that time of year again where the spring wine allocations are coming through. I received my Williams Selyem, Kosta Browne, and BOND allocation letters all inside a weeks time. With the current economic climate one has to sincerely ask himself if he/she can muster up the stones to pull the trigger this time around.
I purchased this little bugger at Trader Joe's the other day and thought I would test it out and see if a few bucks at Joe's could get me something drinkable. I found it a bit hard to get any tech data about the making of the wine or where exactly the grapes were sourced from, so all you'll get are the tasting notes.
I don't frequent too many wine bars but when I do I almost always ask the bar tender what on the list is drinking good. I like to think that these guys have probably guzzled the juice on the list a few times and know what's ripping at the moment.
In the new issue of Wine Spectator dated (Jan.31-Feb.28) I noticed a small tidbit in the "Letters" section that seemed to catch my interest. It's something I've wondered about for some time and totally agree with the writer about. It's the argument that all non-vintage Champagne's should disclose the disgorgement date on the bottle for the consumer.
This Napa Cabernet Saugivnon is a small 400 case production from a winery that really focuses on Sonoma County Pinot noir but does make an excellent Cab. It was aged in 75% new French oak and the grapes were sourced from "several small vineyards throughout the valley".
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful wine dinner at a close friends house. Among the thirty or so wines present and the dinner/wine tasting was this Barolo.

Thursday News, September 6
Gehlen and Spalding Looking At Merging High Schools
(Le Mars) -- A joint announcement was made Wednesday evening by the Gehlen Catholic Board of Education and the Spalding Catholic Board of Education that the two schools are looking at the unification of the high schools to become one Catholic High School serving northwest Iowa. Brian Kohlbeck, the president of Gehlen Catholic School board, told the 300 plus people at the Reardon Family Gymnasium that a final decision has not yet been made, and in fact both school boards want to hear comments from each community. Although Gehlen's enrollment has held steady, or has increased during the past few years, Spalding Catholic's enrollment has been on the decline. Spalding Catholic's school board member, Dennis Schmit told the crowd that Spalding's total enrollment for 2012 K-12 was at 167 students, with the high school enrollment at 70 students. The unification would only involve the two high schools, and it is hoped that Spalding Catholic will be able to focus their resources and attention to their various grade schools located at Hospers, and Alton. Father Kevin Richter, a 1979 graduate of Spalding Catholic high school, says the decision is an emotional decision.
Listen to
The reaction of the crowd was quiet upon hearing the announcement. Richter says the decision to have Spalding Catholic merge their high school with Gehlen High School was a decision that many may have thought would come at some point.
Listen to
Richter says it is possible that some students may choose to attend Remsen St. Mary's High School due to the distance factor.
Listen to
The time table includes meetings twice a month between September 19 and November 14. On October 17 there will be a joint open meeting at Spalding, and then another joint open meeting scheduled for Gehlen Catholic on November 7th. A draft summary is to be presented to Bishop Nicklass on December 15th and the implementation would begin during the fall of 2013. The two schools are already sharing football programs, and Father Richter says students, parents, and the two communities have adjusted well to the shared program. He says that may serve as a precurser to the unification of the high schools. Richter emphasized the ultimate decision to combine the high schools will be left to both respective school boards.

Knights of Columbus Raise $53,000 For Mentally Challenged
(Le Mars) -- $53,000. That's how much money was raised this year by the Knights of Columbus clubs of Plymouth County during Wednesday's phone-a-thon for the mentally challenged. The total exceeded the goal by more than $5,000. Coordinators were thankful for the generous contributions from Plymouth County residents. Dr. Jeremy Bollin says the money raised stays in Plymouth County.

Iowa Lands Egypt Fertilizer Company
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa has landed a much sought after $1.4 billion fertilizer plant.
Gov. Terry Branstad and Orascom Construction Industries executives say the company has chosen Iowa over Illinois as the location for the plant.
The state economic development board earlier in the day approved more than $110 million in tax breaks and other incentives for the company based in Cairo, Egypt. It will create a subsidiary called
Iowa Fertilizer Co. to run the Iowa fertilizer operation to be built in southeast Iowa.
A Lee County agreement offers tax benefits worth about $130 million over 20 years.
The project is the largest single capital investment ever in Iowa.
Critics of the project say government is spending too much for 165 jobs.
The plant will make fertilizer to sell to Midwest farmers.
Iowa and Iowa State Both Have Increased Enrollments
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The University of Iowa and Iowa State University are reporting record enrollment this fall, while the University of Northern Iowa is posting a decrease.
Official enrollment figures released Wednesday show both Iowa and Iowa State surpassed 31,000 students.
Iowa State fell short in surpassing Iowa, but ISU narrowed the gap as its enrollment has jumped 21 percent since 2006. Iowa's enrollment grew by 5 percent during the same time.
Over 12,700 students have enrolled at Northern Iowa this fall, a seven percent decrease.
UNI officials say the dip is because of a large graduating class in the spring and a drop in the number of Iowa high school graduates. More than 90 percent of UNI students are from Iowa,
which is significantly higher than at Iowa and Iowa State.

|Love them! I don't use toe pads or anything else, just one of these gels under my big toe and they offer just enough padding. They don't stick for that long (at least not if you take them out and adjust them), but super/hot glue will hold them in forever. They're better than foam/wool (in my opinion) because they don't flatten out and are very durable. You can still "feel the floor" while using them because they aren't that thick. Some girls in my studio use two and cut them to fit the size of their box, which seems to work perfectly. I sometimes double them up when I'm practicing for a long time or performing, but normally just one is enough.

Since the rims are the most critical components of high performance wheels, this one is 19.5mm deep and uses high-modulus carbon-fiber to come in at a claimed 290g. And to better work with the realities of mountain biking, Reynolds uses traditional exposed alloy nipples. They're certainly easier to true on the trail. They come with a Reynolds tubeless-ready rim strip that allows you to choose between using tubed and tubeless tires.
The rims are laced to Reynolds hubs. Both wheels have 24 straight-pull spokes. The front has cross-two on the left side and radial on the right, so it's strong enough to withstand heavy braking, but still saves some weight. The rear is cross-two on both sides to better resist the forces of heavy braking and hard accelerations when you mash on the pedals.
The front hub has a 100g claimed weight, with a carbon-fiber center section affixed to two aluminum flanges. The hub works both as a traditional quick-release and as a 15mm thru-axle. All you have to do is change the end caps, both of which are supplied with the wheel.
The all-aluminum rear hub is also a transformer. It comes setup as a 135mm quick-release hub. With a 17mm cone wrench, you can convert it to either a 12 x 135mm thru-axle or a 12 x 142mm thru-axle. All the axles are supplied with the wheels.
While the wheels should be plenty tough, all Reynolds wheel owners can buy themselves some extra peace of mind by purchasing Reynolds' two-year damage protection plan. It's called RAP, short for Reynolds Assurance Plan. The insurance means you should have little fear that a crash will ruin your wheel investment. Find out more about it on the
The Reynolds Mountain XC Carbon Wheelset comes with a set of tubeless-ready valves for tubeless tires. Only use plastic tire levers with carbon-fiber rims; Reynolds specifically discourages the use of metal tire levers. The wheels are for disc brakes only and come with mounts for six-bolt rotors.

Can you confirm that the Reynolds MTN XC Carbon Wheelset uses the DT Swiss 240 hub? I hope to use my current DT Swiss thru-bolt (not thru-axle) setup on the rear wheel. Thanks.

David Tremlett Drawing for Free Thinking
- 19 September 2011 — 31 December 2016 *on now
Drawing for Free Thinking is a new wall drawing for Tate Britain, designed to wrap around the Manton stairwell. Inspired by the long tradition of twentieth-century constructivism and by David Tremlett's involvement in conceptual art in the 1970s, Drawing for Free Thinking consists of broad blocks of strong colour, straight lines, squares and rectangles. It explores floor plans and architectural features the artist has encountered at the gallery such as doorways or windows abstracted into geometric shapes. Tremlett and his team of assistants work with pastel crayons which they rub directly onto the wall with the palms of their hands.
BP Spotlight: Keith Arnatt
- 11 March 2013 — 11 August 2016 *on now
Keith Arnatt was a British conceptual artist who used photography as a way of documenting perfromative acts that question the status of art and the role of the artist. Using recent acquisitions, this display will show the range of Arnatt's work and his singular use of photography, focusing on his work of the 1970s and 1980s.
BP Walk through British Art
- 1 July 2014 — 31 December 2016 *on now
The BP Walk through British Art offers a circuit of Tate Britain's unparalleled collection from its beginnings to its end. This 'walk through time' has been arranged to ensure that the collection's full historical range, from 1545 to the present, is always on show. There are no designated themes or movements; instead, you can see a range of art made at any one moment in an open conversational manner.
As part of the BP Walk through British Art there are also two galleries on the main floor which are devoted to Henry Moore, one of Britain's pre-eminent sculptors. The rooms explore Moore's close personal relationship with Tate, investigate his working processes and highlight his public sculpture of the 1950s and 1960s.
The BP Walk through British Art also includes The Clore Gallery which is dedicated to the Turner Collection and houses the artist's bequest to the nation. A room of works by Turner's great rival and contemporary, John Constable, are also on display. The upper floor of the Clore gallery showcases a changing selection of representative works from Tate's outstanding collection of paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints by the visionary artist William Blake.

- Family friendly
BP Spotlight: Tracey Emin and Francis Bacon
- 21 March 2015 — 1 June 2016 *on now
Tracey Emin's installation My Bed 1998 returns to Tate Britain after it first came to public attention when shown in the 1999 Turner Prize exhibition.
It is displayed here alongside six of the artist's recent figure drawings, as well as two oil paintings by Francis Bacon selected by Emin. Her installation, as Bacon's paintings do, retains a strong sense of the lived presence and memory traces of past events.
By virtue of bringing the domestic into the public sphere, without directly representing specific events, My Bed is forcefully and compellingly suggestive of personal narratives.
BP Spotlight: Anwar Shemza
- 12 October 2015 — 1 October 2016 *on now
Anwar Jalal Shemza (1928–85) moved to London in 1956, leaving an established career as a writer and painter in Lahore, Pakistan.
In Britain Shemza abandoned his illustrative and figurative approach and developed vigorous compositions that fused calligraphy and aspects of Islamic architecture with Western abstraction. He repeatedly revisited subjects, including the walls and gates of Lahore, the Arabic letter 'Meem', and plant roots.
His last series of work directly related to notions of belonging in the Pakistani diaspora.
BP Spotlight: Jo Spence
- 19 October 2015 — 1 October 2016 *on now
Jo Spence (1934–92) was a photographer who explored and challenged the way in which women were represented.
Drawing on personal experiences and the use of performance, she commented on broader political issues. This display showcases the vast breadth of Spence's ground-breaking work.
The photographs and archival material on view relate to her collaboration with the socialist-feminist collective Hackney Flashers, her involvement in developing a form of photo therapy, and her examination of her experience with breast cancer.
BP Spotlight: Hockney's Double Portraits
- 19 October 2015 — 1 October 2016 *on now
On display for the first time ever in the UK, George Lawson and Wayne Sleep 1972–5 by acclaimed artist David Hockney, will sit alongside two of Hockney's other celebrated large-scale double portraits in this awe-inspiring display.
Created between 1970 and 1977, the three paintings portray couples or friends in their homes. Presented together, they demonstrate Hockney's fascination with people's relationships, showcasing his ability to combine psychological intensity with a stylistic coolness.
Vanilla and Concrete
- 9 November 2015 — 19 June 2016 *on now
As part of the Art Now series, Vanilla and Concrete presents new and recent work by emerging artists Marie Lund, Rallou Panagiotou and Mary Ramsden who use painting and sculpture to give new meanings to the everyday.
Marie Lund's sculptures are inspired by the human impact on common spaces and objects, changing the way in which they are perceived.
Rallou Panagiotou takes interest in life's non-essential 'luxury' items, from make-up and jewellery to a cocktail straw. Considering these objects as artificial extensions of the human body, Panagiotou investigates how they define and express the individual within a wider cultural context.
Mary Ramsden's paintings hint to the smudges on digital touch-screens. Displaying her works both individually and in groups to emulate multiple windows opened on a computer screen, Ramsden explores how painting operates in today's digital world.

- Family friendly
BP Spotlight: Art and Alcohol
- 16 November 2015 — 1 October 2016 *on now
Since William Hogarth satirised the Georgian craze for gin, artists have explored Britain's relationship with alcohol – as social lubricant, or as factor in social or family breakdown. This fascinating display examines the role of alcohol in British art from the 19th century to modern day.
The display contrasts two works from Tate's collection; George Cruikshank's Worship of Bacchus, a critical panting illustrating in one huge canvas the effects of drink on society, and Gilbert & George's Drinking Sculpture, a wall-mounted montage of photographs (progressively blurred) of drinkers in a London bar.
Cutting across time, generations, class and gender, reflecting changing tastes and attitudes, alcohol and its consequences are shown to exert a catalytic effect. Never have the nation's drinking habits been so captivating.
Conceptual Art in Britain: 1964–1979
- 12 April — 29 August 2016 *on now
Conceptual Art in Britain: 1964–1979 traces the course of conceptual art in Britain from its origin in the 1960s until the late 1970s – encompassing a defining period in British history that takes in the first Labour government of Harold Wilson and the election of Margaret Thatcher.
The exhibition gathers together artists who set out to think beyond the limits of traditional art, predominantly using text and photography to place in question the material, aesthetic and philosophical conditions and purpose of art, and which in certain cases led to a direct engagement with society and issues of identity politics.
Painting with Light
- 11 May — 25 September 2016 *on now
Tate Britain presents this first major exhibition to celebrate the spirited conversation between early photography and British art. It brings together photographs and paintings including Pre-Raphaelite, Aesthetic and British Impressionist works.
Spanning 75 years across the Victorian and Edwardian ages, the exhibition opens with the experimental beginnings of photography in dialogue with painters such as J.M.W. Turner and concludes with its flowering as an independent international art form.
Stunning works by John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, JAM Whistler, John Singer Sargent, John William Waterhouse and others will for the first time be shown alongside ravishing photographs which they inspired and which were inspired by them.
Adult £18.00 (without donation £16.30)

Turner Prize 2016
- 27 September 2016 — 8 January 2017
The Turner Prize is an art award set up in 1984 to celebrate new developments in contemporary art. It is awarded each year to a British artist for an outstanding exhibition from the twelve past months.
Nominations are invited each year, and the prize is judged by an independent jury which changes each year.
The four shortlisted artists will present their works at Tate Britain before the winner is announced in December.
Paul Nash
- 26 October 2016 — 5 March 2017
Paul Nash is one of the most distinctive and important British artists of the twentieth century and this is the largest presentation of his work for a generation.
Known as a landscape artist, who engaged with the downland and coastal landscapes of southern England and its ancient past, those landscapes also provided a stage for his engagements with an international modernism, specifically Surrealism.
The exhibition presents the artist's major works from his early Symbolist manner, through to the iconic works of the First World War, as well as his landscapes of the interwar period. It also features his involvement with Surrealism and his post-war landscape series engaging with natural cycles such as the phases of the moon. There are oils, watercolours, assemblages and photographs as well as books and archive material.

It's one of the high points of summer in Utah–the annual Savor the Summit dinner, in which an ever-lengthening table is set down the middle of Park City's Main Street. Sections of the table are served by different participating restaurants and the result is a midsummer feast like no other.
This year, the event will be held June 23.
The whole thing is a miracle of planning, logistics and cooperation between businesses that are competitive on a day-to-day basis but come together to celebrate their piece of the mountains and to share the overall joy of living–and eating–there.
I can't help it–I have a background in catering and I always want to know how do they do it? I mean, this is Cuisine Unlimited's table from last year. Excuse me, one of their tables. No red checks anywhere.
This year, I decided to poke around a little and find out. For the next few weeks, I'll post a behind-the-scenes report of what it takes to present the world's longest dinner table.
You don't need a ticket but you should be making reservations. Savor sells out. Menu prices range from $40 to $150 per person, with wine or beverage pairings extra or included; it's according to each restaurant. Here's how:
According to Ginger Reis, director of the Park City Area Restaurant Association, the first two Savor the Summit events were a collaboration with the Park City Jazz Festival–a joint effort to attract visitors during the soft shoulder season. The Grande Table portion of the event was built on the classic Park City event of the 80's, A Taste of Park City.
"The first two years, the event was a 2-day event, the first showcasing food and the 2nd day a concert. We quickly realized that it was hard to market really two events as one and decided to turn the focus to strictly showcasing the Restaurants (at this same time the Jazz Foundation/Festival dissolved.)"
Each restaurant pays a one-time participation fee based on how much space they would like on Main Street. The fee helps event organizers cover marketing and event production fees. The restaurants create and price their menus and keep all revenues generated from the event.
"Of course, the first few years, restaurants were a little leery to participate–they weren't sure we could pull it off. The first year, 15 restaurants joined in and served about 600 people. But it's been so successful that by last year, the number of restaurants had more than doubled and altogether, nearly 2,000 people attended."
And this isn't your typical picnic table, finger pickup food–these restaurants try to outdo each other in terms of menu and decor: here's an example:
Okay, reporter's reticence prohibits me from saying this is the longest dinner table in the Rockies, or Utah. I can say that when someone rises to raise a toast at one end of the table, the contagion action all the way down and back up Main Street, takes so long you may have to refill your glass before it's over.
That's a whale of a dinner party. And a hell of a good time.

Sandy delayed the annual High Heel Race but crowds packed the Dupont Circle area Thursday to cheer on the feather-clad racers.
November 14, 2014 2:49 pm
Download audio
Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – After a two-day delay brought on by Sandy, crowds packed the Dupont Circle area Thursday night to watch the 26th annual High Heel Race.
Men in fabulous costumes posed in front of spectators lining 17th Street between P and S streets.
In order to be eligible to win, every racer has to wear shoes with a heel of at least two inches.
Drag queen Felicia Beefeater, dressed like the Beefeater on the gin bottle of the same name, described the height of her heels as "only four inches."
"They're very reasonable. They're very athletic, if you will. Six inches is when I'm pushing it," she says.
The race itself was over in a flash, but flashes from cellphone cameras kept going and going as competitors strutted their stuff for eagar spectators.
Michael Moore, who dressed as Cruella De Vil, confessed that his underwear was a little tight.
"You know, I'm the De Vil, but Spanx are the devil I've found out," he said with a laugh.
I asked drag queen Birdie LaCage to describe her extravagant outfit made from feathers, fur and fishnets.
"It looks like I plucked the last few birds before they flew south and put them on my head, and then shaved some squirrels and wore them as a bolero jacket with some fishnets and some heels," she says.
"The outfit really took no time at all, it's the face that takes a little time to put on with a little spackle and hot glue," LaCage joked.

That's all that needs to be said about the knock down, drag out spectacular 5-set semifinal bout between compatriots Rafael Nadal + Fernando Verdasco which will go down in the record books as the longest match in Aussie Open history (5 hours 14 minutes).
It was a incredibly breathtaking display of raw athleticism, sublime shot-making, heart, and facial expressions but in the end it was Rafa's trademark desire and mental toughness more than anything else that told the tale. The world's top baller edged out Nando who served a double-fault on match point to go down 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (1), 6-4 in a match that featured a combined 147 winners - 95 by Nando alone. SICK.
And the point totals for both ballers? Rafa ended with 193 while Nando had 192. Talk about evenly-matched.
Unfortunately for Rafa, he'll have a quick turnaround for the Sunday final where he'll face Roger Federer in the pair's 19th meeting (12 Rafa, 6 Fed) and first since another classic: the 2008 Wimbledon final won by the Mallorcan Matador. Fed will be looking to tie Pete Sampras' all-time major record of 14 while the top seed will be going for his 6th and first on hard-court.
But a huge congrats to both Spaniards for an incredible effort and for some moments we won't soon forget...
UPDATE: Here's what both ballers had to say about the scheduling of the match:
Rafa -
Q. You're not only the No. 1 in the world, but you are one of the top players in the politics of the ATP. Is there nothing you can do to avoid this problem of scheduling, that you have one day of rest and Roger has two? Apart from Wimbledon, every tournament is screwed up. The US Open, they do what they want. Roland Garros, they do what they want. Here the same. Don't you think the players should do something?Nando -
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, I think Roland Garros is not like this, no?
Q. They play sometimes one day before the other.
RAFAEL NADAL: No. The last four years not (smiling).
Well, the US Open was for both player the semifinal the same day. Here is the only tournament is not like this. But, you know, you still have one day off. So that's the sport. For sure is a little bit more fair if you play the same day. But is like this. Last year was for me, and this year was for Roger in this case, no? Last year I played on Thursday. I lost. I didn't play the final. But, anyway, I play on Thursday, and Roger play on Friday.
Well, this little bit unlucky play one match like today, too hard. So for sure Roger gonna be in much better performance physically than me for the final.
But at the same time I gonna try to be recovered for the final and play my best. I don't know if we can do something because we are involved of the council. But the true, right now I not ready for speak about politic.
Q. About Nadal having one day less to rest, don't you think that players should do something to avoid these problems all the time? At the US Open they play Saturday the semifinal before the final. Here they play one day, then the next. Don't you think you, as players, should start to do something?(images via WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images)
FERNANDO VERDASCO: I will speak with them in next tournament (smiling).
No, but I think, for sure, the semifinals supposed to be the same day, both semifinals, because I think, you know, is the most fair for everybody, no? Because like right now, yesterday Federer play three sets, and today Rafa play five sets, five hours, and he will have one day less, and with a semifinal much longer.
I think that for sure they supposed to play the two semifinals like the womans, the same day. And I think also with two weeks, you have enough days to make the schedule right and have it like this.
But I don't know why they did it, no? I promise, I didn't know that Federer was playing yesterday. I thought that yesterday was playing only girls, and today two semifinals. When I saw that he was playing yesterday, I was a little bit in shock. I was like, Why he's playing one day before us? He will have much recover, and in the final he will have a little bit more of advantage because he had one day more.
So I don't know why they did it. And I think that, for sure, they need to change it.
Q. Only Wimbledon has the perfect schedule. The others do what they want.
FERNANDO VERDASCO: I think this is one thing that for sure they need to change. If they hear me here, the guys from Australian Open, I'm so happy because I make semifinals here, and is my biggest tournament. But I think that for sure they need to make it better.
And I think if they put the two semifinals the same day, is gonna be more fair for everybody, for all the four players.

Taj Roscoe BMX Pro Shoe Coming In January!
Posted By etnies in BMX, Skip To The Comments (0)
Nov 23 2004 / Tuesday
Get ready to go buy a pair of Taj Mihelich's brand-new etnies BMX pro shoe, the Roscoe, at a shop near you in January 2005!
"With this shoe, my goal was to simplify. I was feeling really inspired by old classic running shoes during the design process, but at the same time, I wanted have a more traditional cup-type sole. I also wanted to play around with some different color palettes. I was really excited to get to use the System G2 on this shoe, because it's an entirely internal cushioning system. It works well with a shoe that might look plain on the topside, but be completely ready for action on the inside."--Taj Mihelich

Our Zimbra OSS has failed on "HTTP Header Internal IP Disclosure" which basically means the internal 192.168.x.x IP of the server is being sent in the HTTP header. Tenable Network Security
On Tomcat we add a proxyName value to rewrite the header with the domain name.
But I don't know if this is possible with Jetty, or how it is done in the Zimbra Jetty.
Anyone any ideas?
