Fi'zi:k Ardea Versus Saddle $0.00
A saddle is one of those components that can't simply be selected by reading reviews and taking recommendations from riding partners. In order to make the best decision, you need to be familiar with your body type, flexibility, and riding style. With the new Ardea Versus, Fi'zi:k takes most of the guesswork out of the equation, providing a comfortable and supportive saddle that's versatile enough to fit a variety of cyclists' bodies, at a price that won't break the bank.
Fi'zi:k's Ardea Versus Saddle was built at the same Italian factory that produces its top-tier perches, using its Spine Concept design to mold the saddle into what it calls the 'Chameleon' family. This group of saddles was developed to accommodate cyclists who fall in the middle of Fi'zi:k's flexibility scale, which is a gauge of your spine's flexibility and the pressures that correlate with it. For the Chameleon collection, this means providing you with support directly under both the sit bones and genital area.
The Ardea Versus was constructed with rails made from a strong and lightweight alloy material known as Manganese. Not quite as light as its K:ium, the Manganese rails still have a solid strength-to-weight ratio and dampen road vibrations incredibly well. The saddle's foam padding and nylon shell provide cushioning and support at the sit bones, with just the right amount of flex. With the Versus cutout design, Fi'zi:k was able to decrease surface area by removing material, leaving you unsupported in key areas. This ensures that weight-bearing tissue occupying the pressure relief channel receives the surface support it needs for optimum comfort. Fi'zi:k's durable Microtex fabric was sewn over the top, giving you a smooth outer layer that's easy to clean. Additionally, the sides of the saddle were treated with a glossy, anti-friction scuff guard material to eliminate thigh chafing.
The Fi'zi:k Ardea Versus Saddle is available in the colors Black and White.

TIFF 2008 Sightings Articles

Every year during TIFF, my inbox triples with "sighting" reports (I saw Colin Firth going into my hotel room and he'll never come out!) or "sighting" requests – where are the stars? Where can I find them? Where should I go?

Welcome to the TIFF 2008 Sightings page sponsored by Herbal Essences.

 If you happen to catch Colin Firth before he comes up to my room, email me at [email protected] to share with everybody else. If you want to know if Colin Firth is really in my hotel room, come back often. Because for the duration of the Festival, celebrity sightings will be updated in real time on this page, so if Brad Pitt and George Clooney are having a drink at the Windsor Arms, you'll know about it as it's happening. If Gerard Butler brings his carb face to the Starbucks right around the corner from where you work, you might be able to see the spittle gather in the corners of his mouth live and in person if you refresh in time to rush downstairs.

 Of course I'll be in Yorkville in the thick of it too and posting as soon as Colin (Firth or Farrell, it really doesn't matter) and I have tidied up.

 Wishing you all a happy, sleepless, often hung over TIFF 2008!

Not everyone was born with a natural pout. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers were formulated to deliver sexy full lips without the need for cosmetic injections and lip implants that can impose discomfort as well as health risks. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers offer an absolutely risk-free way to enjoy a full set of lips that nature was not able to deliver. A voluminous pout can offer confidence with a gorgeous, well-rounded smile. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers work with the lip tissue rather than against it, plumping the lips without the irritants used in many other lip plumping products. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers actually leave the lips healthier and more balanced than before. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers offer instant gratification but with continued use, they can also encourage fuller lips over the long term.
MD Formulations Lip Plumpers can be used comfortably with other lip products including color and gloss. The effects are immediate but last for hours through talking, eating and drinking. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers are pleasant to use, leaving the lips feeling smooth, soft and full. MD Formulations Lip Plumpers will not create a "bee sting" look the way some lip treatments do. The lips will look and feel soothed and comfortable.
It is always the goal of MD Formulations to deliver products that leave the skin healthier. That is why MD Formulations Lip Plumpers deliver beneficial hydrators in their plumping formulas.
MD Formulations The Temps Perfecting Lip Plumper is part of the MD Formulations Temps Collection which is intended to deliver quick fixes to common issues. MD Formulations The Temps Perfecting Lip Plumper provides instant plumping action anytime fuller lips are desired. The effects last for hours and can even offer long term benefits by saturating the lips with peptides that plump up the tissue over time. Hyaluronic acid and collagen draw moisture into the lip tissue, resulting in a gentle swelling.
MD Formulations Lip Plumpers do not contain any fragrance and have been dermatologist tested for safety and effectiveness. All skin types can benefit from MD Formulations Lip Plumpers as there are no irritating ingredients in the formulations. MD Formulations The Temps Perfecting Lip Plumper contains rich emollients that soften rough, chapped lips in addition to smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
MD Formulations The Temps Perfecting Lip Plumper can be used as a daily treatment and moisturizer and can be applied throughout the day for beautiful soft, full lips.

I work for a small Library. I am trying to setup the libraries Facebook account to the Social Tab in the Zimbra Desktop client.
Basically when I try to add an account, a new browser window opens up (it takes me to the browser from the desktop client)
and I have to sign-in to the facebook account (if I'm not already signed in) and then I have to add the app, set its options etc..
That all works. When I close the window (as it tells me to) and return to the desktop client. There is no facebook account there.
The social plugin is enabled in preferences (double checked) I checked the facebook account, it has the app installed and turned on in the apps section of settings.
Basically the Desktop client says there are no accounts added. (All I want is Facebook, not Twitter etc..)
I restarted Zimbras desktop client and even the computer after that.
Same Problem.
The Libraries Facebook account is a business page, so I tried to connect it to my personal Facebook account.
Same problem.
I uninstalled the social plug in, download the new one, installed it.
Same problem.
I then moved to the web browser version of Zimbra. I tried adding acocunts and they still wouldn't add.
But THIS time when I close the window after attempting to add an account, I see a small message appear and then fade out on the top of the web versions page
It says "Could not load Facebook account"
So that's it. Facebook says they are connected, but Zimbra can not load it.
I'm running the latest version of Zimbra (I made sure)
and I downloaded and installed the latest social zimlet
So... What's up? What could be the problem?
It seems more like a bug then a specific problem with this computer since the web version of Zimbra is effected.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

To all who are having an issue with Scalar::Util on 5.0-
We've identified that the issue is not with Zimbra, but rather CentOS.
We test and do QA against RHEL, not CentOS. CentOS is not a supported Operating System.
We know a lot of you run CentOS, so I give you this wise advice:
Try Ubuntu
We're here to help. We'll help as much as we can.
Network Edition Customers: Please be advised that Zimbra Support does not Support CentOS. If you need to move to a new platform, we'll help. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Open Source Edition Users: Soon, we'll be making our source publically open. We suggest building from source instead of using the RHEL Binary.

Re: Interesting Twin-sets
i hate matching twin-sets. My aunt worked at a school in Georgia and there were twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello. And at the school my uncle taught at there were twins named Velvet and Velveeta. Unbelievable.
If I ever had twin girls I would name them Lulette and Pomeline and call them Lula and Poppy. I so hope that happens some day!Proud mama to two sweet boys:

Re: Interesting Twin-sets
When we lived in Colorado Springs for two years, my daughter had a gym teacher who was originally from South Carolina. When she was a little girl, she went to school with a girl named Pam. Pam had a little sister. Now, I know they weren't twins, but this is a really disgusting combination of names. Don't worry, Pam (one of the writers of our favorite books), I do like your name a lot but just wait until you hear this: Pam's little sister was Lil' Pam! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Re: Interesting Twin-sets
Megan and Meggy makes me extremely sad. These parents could not think of another name for their second daughter. Think of how great of parents they will be probably...
Best twin set I've heard: Anika and Lily.
One that I don't like as much: Andie and Anna. One is a full name that seems to me very sophisticated, and the other a little diminutive and not able to grow up. I like Andie as a diminuitive of Andrea, though.

Rite Publishing presents Haiku of Horror: Autumn Moon Bath House
Scented waters stir,
unbound strands aching in search
for a lover's touch.
The Haiku of Horror series depicts iconic mapped locations for use in Kaidan or other Asian based settings with labeled maps with complete descriptions and full-scale maps ready to print and use, plus image files for use with virtual tabletops. The location includes a complete, detailed, complex encounter featuring new monsters, haunts, and all necessary mechanics to run it. The mapped site is designed for 'plug-in-play' use ready to insert into any existing module or Asian campaign.
Autumn Moon Bath House serves as the oriental version of the typical fantasy tavern where adventures begin and end. However, rumors persist of a spectral woman with long black hair, who is seeking vengeance against the living and redemption for her soul.
Author and Cartographer Michael K. Tumey
Cover Artist: Mark Hyzer
Pages: 19
This is the first Kaidan release (any publication really) with me as primary author/designer.
I chose to call this series as the Haiku of Horror for 3 reason:
1. Haiku is a recognizable Japanese word and concept by most westerners.
2. I've included an appropriate Haiku that elucidates the mystery of the site.
3. Because a Haiku is a very concise poetry format, this is intended to be a very concise product being a mapped location with a single encounter and associated mechanics. It's a slice of the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror, so calling it Haiku seems fitting.
This product features the Bath House maps from this thread.

KANSAS CITY, MO - AUGUST 26: Steven Jackson #39 of the St. Louis Rams rushes past Andy Studebaker #96 of the Kansas City Chiefs during a pre-season game at Arrowhead Stadium on August 26, 2011 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Monday that the club has signed linebacker Edgar Jones. Additionally, the club has released linebacker Andy Studebaker.
Jones (6-3, 262) has seen action in 57 contests in six NFL seasons with Kansas City (2012) and Baltimore (2007-11). He has primarily served as a special teams player, recording 39 career tackles, one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries, including one returned for a touchdown. On defense, he owns nine tackles (five solo) and 1.5 sacks (-4.5 yards). While with Baltimore he saw action in 41 contests, contributing as both a linebacker and tight end.
Jones originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent of the Ravens from Southeast Missouri State University in 2007. As a senior at Southeast Missouri, Jones was named a first-team All-American after leading Division I-AA with 12.0 sacks (-88.0 yards) in 2006. He was a two-time all-state selection as a defensive end at Rayville High School in Rayville, La.
Studebaker (6-3, 248) has played in 70 games (eight starts) in five NFL seasons with the Chiefs. He primarily served on special teams, recording 45 tackles and recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone for a touchdown. On defense his career numbers include 51 tackles (40 solo), 2.5 sacks (-5.5 yards), two interceptions, five passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
He originally entered the NFL as the third of Philadelphia's three sixth-round (203rd overall) selections in the 2008 NFL Draft. He was signed by Kansas City from the Eagles practice squad on Nov. 19, 2008. He played collegiately at Wheaton College and prepped at Eureka High School in Eureka, Ill.

We are just a couple of days into our trial period and I have a few questions. They cover a variety of topics so I thought this might be the best forum to ask this in...
- First off is how easy is Zimbra to sync w/ something running PalmOS (either a palm itself or something like a Treo)? I've seen a couple of different things that talk about sync w/ Zimbra w/ Outlook and then Outlook w/ Palm, but that seems a bit much and I don't think I'm going to be able to convince people to use Outlook just as a conduit. Isn't there an easier way to do this? Have I missed something here?
- Where are the mail files, or are they stored in a DB somewhere? If I access the zimbra IMAP server via something that requires I specify a root dir (pine for example) what do I use? It works fine w/ Thunderbird (so I know everything is installed/running correctly) but on PC-Pine I have to specify a path to the mail folder. If I don't put anything there I can see the other folders (chats, drafts, trash, etc) but not the Inbox.
- Is there a way to see a location's calendar? What I mean is I setup a conference room location and people can request use of that location when creating an event, but I can't seem to find a way to pull up a calendar that has all the events for that location. Do I have to set a password for that location, login and then share it?
- Speaking of sharing, I see the concept of groups mentioned when creating a share, but I don't see a way of creating groups in the admin app. I did setup a distribution list, but when I tried to share something to that list I got an error.
- Is anyone using multiple Zimbra installs at different locations and how well do they interact? It seems like the only share that allows read/write access is for "local" users/groups. If I have two sets of users at different locations, how can I make all the info accessible to either side? I haven't looked into it much so if someone can just say yes/no and point me in the right direction I'll should be able to dig up the details.
- How do I change sshd to run on something other than port 22? I tried setting it to something else but then I lost the ability to see the mail queues.
- What firewall do people usually use w/ zimbra? Since we are testing it on an ubuntu machine normally I would use something like shorewall. Since zimbra seems to take over the machine entirely though I wasn't sure if one was needed or which one I should use.
I'm pretty sure some more questions will come up as we dig into it further, but I think that's it for now.

The Lake Region Union High School soccer Rangers had a great run, amassing a 14-0 record in the regular season, surpassing Bellows Free Academy of Fairfax in the playdown, and, on Friday, defeating Milton Academy in the quarterfinals.
On Tuesday, though, they met their match in the Division 2 semifinal game in the form of a hard pressing team from U-32. In a contest that was decided in the final moments of play, the Rangers bowed to the Raiders by a score of 3-2.
In the early moments Lake Region appeared to have the game in hand. The Rangers drew first blood after barely five minutes of play when a shot by Matthew Stebbins trickled past Raiders goalkeeper Derek Cote.
The Rangers pressed hard during the first 20 minutes of play, keeping the ball in U-32's end of the pitch and presenting a constant… To read the rest of this article, and all the Chronicle's stories, subscribe:

So far so good with this installation, Zimbra is really an amazing AJAX application, and I see it replacing alot of Exchange systems. My box is running FC4 and zcs-3.0.0_M2_746.FC4.tgz and most everything works, except for problems with FF 1.5 (but I already read about the firefox problems), and antispam.
I've searched high and low in these forums for configuring/testing the antispam built into Zimbra to no avail. I don't think it's working, nothing has showed up in the Junk folder after a week of testing, but we're getting tons of spam in our inbox. I've changed the delete and tag setting as low at 4 tag/20 delete, and as zimbra user zmcontrol stop/zmcontrol start. No changes. I would like to know if there is a test script that sends a spam message to see if the antispam catches it. I used to have this for qmail and it worked well for debugging.
I looked through the logs and didn't see anything. All services stop and start correctly. Oh other important point, clamav IS catching viruses, it just looks like spamassassin isn't working. I even added some RBL's last night, and still spam in the inbox. Any help? Thanks.

Okay, color me stupid (a little joke there...very little) but I never knew such things existed! These are amazingly useful!
As a photoshop user, I could see loading a scheme, then playing with tints & hues (+brightness/contrast, etc.) on the entire scheme at once' this would to keep the color ratios in line, yet offer a wide range of actual color choices!
Thanks, fellas! Great finds!

ON a similar note, does anyone know of a reference for indexed gradients for terrain elevation mapping?
I have a few (tropical, desert, generic, Mediterranean) and will upload them, but was looking for a reference....

Have a look at the Relief Shading site and the Shaded Relief sites. The author of the latter answers emails...well he answered mine anyway, but that was a year or so ago.
And another one:
This one is different as it will take any image on the web and produces one dull palette and one vibrant palette that match the colors in the image provided.
For example using the current featured map:

Another method (with more control) is to import the picture into a raster editing program (like GIMP, photoshop etc) and use a mosaic filter to break up the image into large squares of uniform colour. You can then use the colour picker to sample all the colours on the page (some programs have an automatic script which does this for you with one click).
Hey! That is a really neat idea, and I bet that is essentially what the website does as well.

Making the decision to attend college is probably one of the most important decisions you'll ever make, and your performance on college entrance exams is instrumental in determining your college choice. Universities and colleges throughout the U.S. require applicants to take the SAT or ACT as part of their evaluation package. This course will prepare you for both tests.
Both the ACT and the SAT contain verbal and math question types. SAT/ACT Preparation Part I will give you all the information you need to do well on the verbal questions of the ACT and the new SAT. The ACT verbal sections are called the Reading Test, the English Test, and the Science Test. The Reading Test and the English Test assess your knowledge of English usage, grammar, and reading comprehension. This course will provide you with a grammar and usage review specifically geared to the rules that you'll be tested on in the ACT. You'll also learn how to maximize your time on reading comprehension passages and the passages in the science test.
Beginning in 2005, the ACT began offering an optional essay test. If you choose to take the essay test, our course will show you how to do your best writing in the short period of time you'll be given.
In 2005, the SAT verbal questions also changed. The lessons in this course are designed to prepare you for those changes. The new verbal sections are called Writing and Critical Reading. The Critical Reading section consists of sentence completions and reading comprehension of both long and short passages. You'll learn how to answer both types of questions in the most time-efficient manner. The SAT also contains a new Writing section, which includes a student-written essay and multiple-choice questions about grammar and English usage. This course will prepare you to write the type of essays that grading officials are looking for, and will provide you with a grammar and usage review that's specific to the rules you'll be tested on in the new SAT.
In addition to preparing you for specific question types on both exams, this course will give you pointers in time management, anxiety relief, scoring, and general standardized test-taking. Weekly assignments will encourage you to work with your fellow classmates and your instructor to maximize your performance on all aspects of the verbal questions of the ACT and SAT.
This course and its follow-up will prepare you to excel in all sections of the undergraduate college entrance exams and provide you with the means to achieve your best potential score!

text: By Jan RahnTribune Staff A special high school coach's career award was presented this summer to Grant resident Larry Pritchett. Pritchett's coaching career spans 45 years, with many achievement awards to his credit—the most recent being the 2013 Ed Johnson Award presented at the Nebraska Coaches Association's 46th annual banquet in Lincoln in July. The NCA presented 14 high school coaches with the honor of Nebraska High School Coach of the Year for the 2012-13 season. Pritchett was among eight coaches receiving career awards. Each coach was selected by their coaching peers in the sport for their success and contributions within the given sport. Prichett said his award is especially meaningful because he once had the privilege of meeting Coach Ed Johnson. In 1968, Pritchett sat beside him at a banquet honoring state championships. Pritchett's team had won state his first year as head coach of the Plainsmen and Johnson's Lincoln Northeast team had taken state the same year. The honor banquet was held in conjunction with the annual multi-sports clinic where coaches of the year, milestone and service award winners and the 2012-13 state champion coaches were also recognized.About the Award The Nebraska Coaches Association established the award to honor an individual making lasting contributions to Nebraska high schools in boys basketball. The inscription on the plaque Pritchett received reads: Ed Johnson coached at Lincoln Northeast High School for 37 years and retired at the end of the 1985-86 school year. During his tenure, Northeast's record was 505-202 and qualified for the state tournament 18 times. His teams won state championships in 1950 (his first season at Northeast), 1962, 1967, 1968, 1970, 1973 and 1982. He was honored as the Journal-Star prep coach of the year twice. Ed was named regional coach of the year by the National Coaches Association three times and was named the National Boys Basketball Coach of the Year posthumously in 1987. A native of Missouri, Johnson began his coaching career at Lewis, Missouri in 1946. He also coached at the University of Missouri and Corning, Iowa before coming to Lincoln Northeast. Ed was revered by his fellow coaches and former players not only because of his success on the court, but because he was an outstanding human being.

Martinsburg Chamber chief named to W.Va. Board of Education
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The head of the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce was named the newest member of the state Board of Education on Friday. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin appointed Tina Combs, of Berkeley County, to replace Jenny Phillips on the board. Phillips resigned earlier this month following the termination of state Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple. Combs has served as chairwoman for the Blue Ridge Community and Technical College Board of Governors and as treasurer of the Berkeley County Business Education Partnership. She also has served as president of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce Executives and chaired the Region VII Workforce Investment Board. Combs graduated from Mountain State University in 2004 with a bachelor of science degree in organizational leadership and development. State Board of Education member Bill White, who had served as the founding dean of MSU's School of Leadership and Professional Development, was appointed to the board in 2010. Mountain State's primary accreditation was recently revoked by the Higher Learning Commission, which cited a series of leadership problems at the school. The University of Charleston has since taken over operations at the Beckley and Martinsburg campuses. White said he does not know Combs personally but is pleased with her appointment because he had requested that the governor appoint a female board member from the Eastern Panhandle. Combs also has a certificate in community economic development from the Virginia Institute for Economic Development at Virginia Tech and a certificate for nonprofit organization management from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "With education as one of my top priorities, I believe it's vital to have the best state Board of Education possible, and today, I appointed a new member who I believe will serve our children well," Tomblin said in a news release. "Tina has a longstanding record of service to our state's education system, and I believe her many years of leadership and community service will be a major asset to the state board. "I look forward to working with Tina and the rest of the state board as we work together to ensure our children are prepared for successful careers in a 21st-century economy," Tomblin said. Former board member Priscilla Haden also resigned because of Marple's sudden firing. Her seat has yet to be filled. Last fall, Tomblin appointed Greenbrier County's Tom Campbell, a former delegate and House Education Committee chairman, to fill Lowell Johnson's seat on the board.

2004 B&M Hedman Hedders Series Drag Race - Good Times Are Not ForgottenWritten by on June 21, 2004 The B&M/Hedman Hedders Series Lets The Money Roll!
Ask a racer why he races and he'll give you a lot of different reasons. Some just enjoy the thrill, some see it as a way to spend time with friends and family while others like the challenge. While all of those are good reasons by themselves, some of the top racers in the B&M/Hedman Hedders bracket series have another motivation. They do it for the money.
Hearing that someone races for the money has been more than enough to produce more than a whimsical smile and few off-hand remarks. Yet, with big dollar winner's purses and a $50,000 dollar points fund, that's just what these racers were on hand to do. Each B&M event offers a cool $10 grand to the winner in Pro Electronics and another $1,500 to the Pro Footbrake winner. With separate events paying these amounts out each day (most events are three days long, meaning there are six chances to win), bracket racers attending B&M/Hedman Hedder series events can win a lot more bucks for a lower investment than any other form of drag racing.
Because of this, the B&M/ Hedman Hedder series has evolved into one of the premier sportsman race series running today. Not only do racers have the chance to compete for a season-long championship in Super Pro and Footbrake eliminators, but they can also benefit from a strong contingency program with TV coverage on ESPN2. Operating now under the leadership of Tommy Castanedo and A.J. Ashe, the B&M/Hedman Hedder series has also shown a real personal touch and renewed appreciation to sportsman-level racers. That's been readily seen with special benefit events for drivers in need, a special awards banquet, bonus purses and a special season-ending event featuring a free concert for the enjoyment of everyone.
As we recently discovered at the B&M/Hedman Hedders series at Montgomery, Alabama, the event consists of two different categories of bracket cars. Pro Electronics eliminator is open to door cars, altereds, roadsters and dragsters that use approved delay boxes and throttle stops. Stutter boxes, rpm limiters and traction control devices are not allowed. Pro Footbrake, on the other hand, is a doorslammer class that puts a premium on the driver's ability behind the wheel more than any other class. Electronics such as two-steps, transbrakes and delay boxes are no-no's.
The success of the series has attracted a number of name drivers from all parts of drag racing. Former NHRA Top Fuel driver Chris Vandergriff was on hand at this race in Montgomery, Alabama, along with ex-Pro Stock driver Brad Jeter, who was campaigning two cars at this event. Sportsman legends Edmund and Scotty Richardson also race regularly on the circuit while engine guru Scott Shafiroff is a regular in the pit area.
"We can't forget that this is a spectator sport," Shafiroff said during the event. "I can't count the number of times I've taken people who were new to the sport to the racetrack to watch throttle stop racing and the first thing they say is, 'Well, the car broke.' It's just a hard concept to grasp. Here, when cars go down the track, there is a handicap, but when they're side-by-side and the scoreboards light up, you have to look up and see who won. People want to race. This kind of fast bracket racing is just growing and growing. People like going fast and really feeling the power. We support that and that's why we're here with the B&M series."
With success stories like this, B&M/Hedman Hedder racers are letting the good times roll.

Scotty Richardson went home from Montgomery, AL some $13,000 richer with two wins in Pro Footbrake and a Saturday win in Pro Electronics. Richardson has won numerous national championships in IHRA/NHRA sportsman competition and was voted a place among NHRA's Top 50 drivers in 2001.Side-by-side racing at the finish line is standard fare at every B&M/Hedman Hedders event. Racers try to get the best possible reaction time without redlighting to gain a cushion so they can cross the finish line just ahead of their competition without running under their posted dial-in.Technology continues to play a big part in ET Bracket racing. Soft-tail four-link dragsters, which began to replace dragsters with solid rear suspensions just a few years ago, are now being swapped out for newer swing arm rear suspensions which use levers to help plant the rear slicks.So, what kind of racers bracket race? How about former Top Fuel show Chris Vandergriff? Chris made the highlight reel with a blowover at the U.S. Nationals last year and is now mixing it up with some of the sport's best ET Bracket racers.Former NHRA Pro Stock driver Brad Jeter was another name racer at the B&M/Hedman Hedders season opener. Jeter is a former IHRA Pro Modified racer and has four NHRA career wins in professional categories.Sport Compacts have found a home in Footbrake racing as shown by "Stone Cold" Steve Stites who won at the season opener at Montgomery.Consistency in bracket racing depends on a number of things, but none are greater than a reliable engine combination that can go round after round with little or no maintenance. Shafiroff Race Engines is one of a number of big name engine builders involved in big-dollar bracket racing.
Bracket racing gives drivers from all walks of life the opportunity to compete for big bucks against some of the biggest names in the sport. Joann Pynes of Cottonwood, Al, who works as a Surgical Nurse during the day, races on the weekend to fill her need for speed.Richardson has won numerous national championships in IHRA/NHRA sportsman competition and was voted a place among NHRA's Top 50 drivers in 2001.Scotty Richardson went home from Montgomery some $13,000 richer with two wins in Pro Footbrake and a Saturday win in Pro Electronics.

DisappointingWhen I pay over ten grand for a music player, I expect it to be phenomenal. Imagine my surprise when the music quality turned out to be the same as my Blackberry (and BB isn't even a music phone!) I've been told that the real difference between the two would become apparent if I shell out another 8k on really good speakers but frankly I can't be bothered. Oh, and the Genius playlist feature that they advertise so much? Non-functional, unless you happen to have an Apple account, which you can't have unless you want to give up your credit card information, and that's the last thing I'm going to … (Expand)

IPOD NanoI purchased this product a few weeks ago & I am very happy with the product. I plug the IPOD to my car stero & am able to acceess all my songs. The shuffle feature allows to play random songs. The navigation is also simple & easy to use. Agree that the price is high as compared to others but then you get the satisfaction of an Apple product.

10 Amazing Rhubarb Recipes Without Strawberries!
Recipes from The Kitchn
I don't know about you, but when I think about rhubarb desserts the first thing that jumps to mind is strawberry-rhubarb-fill in the blank...crisp, crumble, pie, streusel bars, take your pick. No doubt about it, strawberry and rhubarb are an amazing duo, but rhubarb doesn't have to be be paired with strawberries to make an amazing dessert.
These 10 summery recipes are just a short example of how wonderful rhubarb is on its own and paired with fruits other than strawberries.
Of all the rhubarb desserty goodness I'm excited to enjoy this spring and summer, Rhubarb Blackberry Crumble (complete with vanilla ice creme, of course) is at the top of my list! This dessert screams summer. I love the combination of deep, rich blackberries with tart rhubarb.
What's your favorite rhubarb dessert sans strawberries?
- 1 Rhubarb Syrup (plus, 5 delicious ways to use it!)

Lee Hyori for "Dazed and Confused": Appropriation or Appreciation?
Posted By Kristine Ortiz On July 23, 2013 @ 7:42 pm In Pop Culture | Comments Disabled
As I was making my daily K-Pop news round-up, I couldn't help but notice a photo of K-Pop diva Lee Hyori's new cover for Dazed & Confused (Korea). Besides the interesting use wordplay and homonyms on the cover ("Beach Bitch"), what is most striking is the editorial concept used for the cover and accompanying editorial. Hyori is styled with face paint, a head dress and feathers, with her hair in two braids, supposed indicators of "Native American" dress, very reminiscent to Michelle Williams' cover of AnOther magazine [1] released earlier this year. At least for me, the "Indian Summer" concept (as indicated on the cover and is another issue in and of itself) is taken too literally and crosses the fine line between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Hyori; she's stunning and has an awesome personality (Family Outing, anyone?). It's just disappointing that the editors of "Dazed" would allow this and that she, or at least her management, would agree to it. An editorial with summertime clothes wouldn't have sufficed?
For me, the issue with this cover and with many other instances like this [2], is that traditional cultures are used like thematic costumes, with a lack of understanding about the cultures themselves. The beautiful, rich, and diverse culture of the Native American community is being diluted into a stereotype or simple archetype that assumes homogeneity. Or more simply put, photos and images like these re-emphasize the idea that all Native Americans are the same, which is blatantly inaccurate and culturally insensitive.
But, why does this even matter? It's just a magazine, right? Well, not exactly. As put best by Metcalfe (Turtle Mountain Chippewa from North Dakota) in an article for Jezebel [3]:
"There isn't just one Native American culture. There are hundreds. And there are millions of Native people. And we're being ignored. We're being told that we don't have rights over how we are represented in mainstream America. We are being told that we should 'get over it' – but the people who are saying this don't even know what the issues are. When people know of us only as a 'costume,' or something you dress up as for Halloween or for a music video, then you stop thinking of us as people, and this is incredibly dangerous because everyday we fight for the basic human right to live our own lives without outsiders determining our fate or defining our identities."
Though this particular cover is directly related to the Native American community, this is an issue that is not exclusive to them; for years, various cultures, including Asian cultures, have been and continue to be commodified into cultural products for mass consumption, and not necessarily for cultural understanding. Geisha costumes run rampant, Selena Gomez's stage costume includes a bindi, and that's just the tip of the metaphorical iceberg, the majority of which can't be examined in this brief post. But, that difference between using culture as an aesthetic accessory versus using it as a tool for cognizance is what separates what is "okay" from "not okay." More interestingly and more notably, the Korean cover itself proves that this issue extends much farther than the borders of the US and is a global issue.
Yes, cultural appropriation is a hot-button, sensitive topic. But instances like these remind us of the continued importance of understanding and appreciating other's histories, cultures and backgrounds for the simple, but powerful reason of respect. And as an increasingly global community, it's even more important to view cultures, customs and dress that's different from our own as more than just trend, but as an integral part of someone's identity and history.

WHEELING - Nobody's perfect. Sometimes people make mistakes.
That's what Bishop Donahue coach Tom Wise said outside the locker room after the Bishops' 62-56 loss to Linsly.
After Jesse Padlow hit a 3-pointer for Donahue with 51 seconds left to tie the score at 56-56, Lavonte Hampton fouled Toddy Goodwin-Rowe as he moved the ball up court to send the Cadet to the foul line. Goodwin-Rowe's attempt was no good, but Anthony Wallace jumped in and was fouled when he grabbed the rebound. Wallace then went on to make four straight free throws and Jabri Blount added two more to close out the game.
Article Photos
Linsly's Rashad Johnson (12) sets up a play while guarded by Bishop Donahue's Bryce Jones (10).
''It was just an accident,'' Wise said about the foul. ''Right before then, we were fouling to put them in the 1-and-1, then we got the ball back and tied it. (Hampton) just made a mistake. We'll live with it. It was just one of those things. He played hard, he just made a mistake.''
On the other side of the court, Cadets coach James Wallace took the 'mistake' with opened arms.
''We knew Bryce Jones was a very good shooter and they found a way to get him open with about a minute left,'' he said. ''We were lucky enough that, because of the atmosphere we created by holding the ball, we were fortunate that they fouled us. Anthony made a big play on the free throw.''
It was easy for Hampton to get confused though because Linsly held onto the ball for more than a minute in attempt to close out the game.
''We knew they were really working the zone against us,'' Wallace said. ''We tried for force them to play us man-to-man or at least change them up and do something different. At that point we wanted to take care of the basketball and make good decisions. Make them come and attack and foul us, which they did.''
The Bishops (10-6) were facing an uphill battle all night after the team fell behind 10-3 early in the first quarter, but trimmed the margin slightly as they went into halftime only down five at 27-22.
Donahue then used a 9-4 run in the waning minutes of the third to come within one at 43-42 and took the lead on a Josh Miller bucket to start the final quarter.
The Cadets (9-9), however, looked like they regained control at 56-51, but a Hampton bucket and Padlow's 3 gave the visitors one last chance.
''Offensively we were just off a little bit,'' Wise said. ''But we did what we wanted to. We attacked them. We got their guys into foul trouble. We did good stuff, I can't complain.''
Hampton lead the Bishops with 15 points - 12 in the second half - while Jones and Miller finished with 13 and 12 points, respectively.
Even with the loss, Wise believes his team's OVAC chances are still bright.
''We have Madonna Saturday and Cameron next Tuesday, and then its the cut off,'' he said. ''If we get a couple (wins), we should be locked in I would think. We're where were at and we need to just get a little bit better.''
For the Cadets, the victory puts them back at .500 and is just enough to keep their heads above water in Class 3A.
Blount led Linsly with a game-high 18 points and 18 rebounds, while Wallace, who surpassed 1,000 points in his career with a bucket in the fourth quarter, finished with 15 points, five rebounds and five assists.
Goodwin-Rowe added six points to go along with four assists for the Cadets.

Semi Formal In a 1932 Ford Deuce RoadsterWritten by on June 9, 2003 Contributors: Rich Boyd Black Ford Deuce Roadster
True style never looks dated. Wear a well-tailored, '50s-era black suit to any high-class dinner party today and you'll feel right at home. Do the same with a light-blue polyester discount job from the '70s and watch the room erupt into laughter faster than you can say "fire hazard."
This beauty of a Deuce roadster is like that black suit--it's practically timeless. That was the intent when Steve Kormondy commissioned California Street Rods (CSR) to build the car several years ago. "He was after a traditional-style hot rod," says CSR's Chuck Lombardo, Jr. "We thought of incorporating some modern hints into it." The result is a cool cruiser with a classic look.
Interestingly, the car's core components--a CSR-crafted chassis and Brookville body--are new. The vintage vibe was created by sprinkling in cues like a DuVall windshield, drilled I-beam, So-Cal brakes, and PS Engineering knock-offs wrapped in bias-ply Firestones. And of course, who can ignore the Art Chrisman-built, Ardun-head flattie. Even the flattie has a contemporary twist--a custom-machined, billet aluminum intake and blower! They help the flathead send about 425 hp through a Borg-Warner five-speed to a Halibrand quick-change rearend.
Combine choice parts selection with flawless craftsmanship and you've got a combo that's hard to resist. In fact, shortly after the roadster's completion Kormondy received an offer that was too tempting to pass up, and the car headed off to New England with a new owner. However, no matter who ends up with the roadster in the years to come, it's sure to make him look good--just like that black suit.

At TheLadders, we like to give employees every opportunity to grow.
Recently, my fellow Associate Creative Director, Jennifer Gergen, had an amazing opportunity come her way: She was accepted to participate in the Startup Bus.
The Startup bus is a really unique event. Designers and Developers in different cities board buses and travel to South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW) in Austin. They're formed into small teams and tasked with launching a new startup by the time they arrive.
The teams then compete by means of a social game based on investing in (fake) company stock.
This meant that Jen would have to take off work for a week, on very short notice. But when she asked our boss (Creative Director Todd Hoza) if she could go, he didn't hesitate. He realized what a fantastic opportunity this would be for Jen personally and professionally.
Think of the skills she'd be honing: design, development, coordination, teamwork, project management… the list is nearly endless. Todd also realized that there was potential for Jen's to win—and maybe not come back to work if her startup was funded!—but he was willing to take that chance because he knew what it meant to her.
It's that kind of freedom that you get at TheLadders that you really can't get anywhere else. The freedom to grow and to take advantage of unique opportunities.
For what it's worth, Jen's team did a fantastic job, making the final group with their startup, Happstr. Happstr is a social sharing site whose goal is to spread global happiness, an idea I think we can all get behind in these cynical times.
We wanted to congratulate her and her team on a great run! We're sorry she didn't win, but I have to admit: I'll be posting on Happstr and sharing how happy I am when I see Jen walk in the door later this week. We can't wait to have her back!
(You'll be hearing from Jen about her experience when she gets back, don't worry.)

Neighborhood doesn't really give you a sense of security during evening-night. However, nothing happened during our staying. "

- " Good: Cheap, good staff, private bathroom, comfortable beds, and clean (we booked a non-smoking room). On my final night booked a smoking room and it was dirty compared to non-smoking. The breakfast was nothing special, but it was free. My friend and I had some free orange juice and apples every day we were there. Not as Good: Getting to Manhattan and back will take about an hour every day. Location isn't the best, but there were lots of people around which increases the feeling of safety. "

I was supposed to pay remaining 90% upon arrival. The problem is that the hostel made me pay entire amount, they said the 10% was paid to the website not to the hostel. In this way I paid 110%.

Video: Bodies Of Woman, Child Found In Dale City Home (5 pm Report)
Video: Police Make Arrest in Dale City Double Murder
DALE CITY, Va. (WUSA) -- Police have made an arrest in the murders of a mother and son from Dale City, Virginia.
Police say the suspect is 47-year-old Natalia Wilson of Arlington. They say she is married to the child's father, Lester Wilson.
The victims are 41-year-old Slavka Naydenova and her eight-year-old son Paul Wilson.
Police sources tell 9NEWS NOW's Peggy Fox that both Naydenova and Natalia Wilson were mail order brides when they married Lester Wilson. Naydenova left her first husband and remarried.
Naydenova's husband found their bodies last night when he returned home from work.
Naydenova's brother was assassinated by the Bulgarian Mafia, but police believe the mafia did not play a part in these murders and that this was domestic in nature.

I'm awake at this hour because a well-known American flat race is going to be on the telly (although, really, after 138 years, you'd think the Yanks, bless 'em, should have learnt how to pronounce the word 'Derby' properly, wouldn't you). (And has now been run. No, I had not picked the winner.) I had not intended and do not intend to indulge in a spot of general psephologising until after the Frogs have had their election; yet there are things that want saying even now.
The local election results – for what they are worth, which, historically, is not a great deal, in general election terms – and the contravening success of Boris' re-election bid, have, as everyone foresaw, begun a new round of intestine war within the Conservative Party.

A goodly start! But I would suggest desaturating the green...it's quite loud <s>
If you need to find a colour just download a photo of a trees from above and use the colour picker on a 5x5 average setting...or just play with it.
Here is my first map made using a combination of GIMP and RPG City Generator. I merged and modified the techniques discussed in RobA's regional map tutorial and Pyrandon's city map tutorial. Both of which are fantastic!
A bit about the map...
This map was created as part of a D&D 3.5 campaign that I am running. My players have been operating out of the town for a bit and the map legend reflects things that are important to them rather than to a general visitor to the town.
Fenwatch is a small border town and layover stop on the Eastern Tradeway running out of the kingdom of Turimor. The town is home to the Wayshepherds Mercenary Guild who provide escorts to the caravans that move along the Tradeway.
The town also runs a brisk trade in magical and alchemical reagents and is famous for its hogs which are specially bred to root out magic ingredients in the surrounding swamps.
A goodly start! But I would suggest desaturating the green...it's quite loud <s>

Cool map ! Would fit well into the CWBP Thrubland region too
ViewingDale Map maker and VTT . Recent CG posts . Keyword Index . Intros Index . Member Locations . CWBP Place Index
Well, have some reputation for posting your first map. And a city map at that... great, I love cities
Anyway, I would definitely suggest toning down the green colors a bit. At the moment the forest is sticking out, while you want the town to stick out. Otherwise all the elements work pretty well together. Next time you might want to give some of the houses a different color to give the impression they have different roofs (making the town seem a bit more organic).
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
When I colorized the forest layer, I used a couple of dark olives, but when I normalized the selection, everything turned super vivid.
The buildings were definitely the toughest part for me. I was trying to adapt Pyrandon's PS city tutorial to GIMP. Unfortunately, the PS version uses a layer style of bevel and emboss while creating the buildings, which is not available in GIMP.
When I applied the bevel filter to the building layer, the bevel was not as sharp as I was hoping for and the emboss filter always turned the buildings a light gray, almost silvery color regardless of what they looked like before.
I ended up using several different layers at various levels of transparency. A bevel and emboss layer for shape
A shingle texture for, well... texture
a color overlay to get rid of the silvery sheen caused by the embossing filter
and several blending overlays.
I did a lot of experimenting with things while working on the buildings and feel like my process and final product wound up a little muddy in that regard. I intend to revisit this on my next map... possibly after downloading some python scripts to help me more easily modify textures and the like.
Okay, here's an updated version of the map. I added a couple filter layers to the forest to give it a gloomier look more appropriate to a swamp. I also added a colored overlay to the buildings to add some variety to the roof colors in an effort to create a more organic look. Then, just for fun, I put together a heraldric seal for the town featuring two boars rampant with a potion flask between.
Ah, much better. Some great improvements. Forest looks good and doesn't draw all the attention anymore. Love the heraldric shield!

Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The Texas Rangers signed pitchers Daniel
Bard and Armando Galarraga to minor league contracts on Monday.
Bard made just two appearances with the Red Sox last season due to a lengthy
stay on the disabled list. The Cubs claimed him off waivers on Sept. 4, and he
became a free agent after the season. He had surgery for Thoracic Outlet
Syndrome on Jan. 2 and is expected to be limited at spring training.
Boston tried to move Bard into the starting rotation in 2012, and he went 5-6
with a 6.22 ERA in 17 games (10 starts).
In 211 career games with the Red Sox, Bard was 10-19 with a 3.67 ERA.
Galarraga returns to the Texas organization, where he made his major league
debut in 2007. He was originally acquired by the Rangers in the Alfonso
Soriano trade with Washington on Dec. 8, 2005.
Last season, he combined to go 6-8 with a 3.64 ERA in 23 starts at Triple-A
Louisville (Reds) and Colorado Springs (Rockies).
The 32-year-old Galarraga is 26-34 with a 4.78 ERA over 100 career games (91
starts with Texas (2007), Detroit (2008-10), Arizona (2011) and Houston
He posted a career-high 13 wins for the Tigers in 2008. The right-hander was
deprived of a perfect game by an incorrect call made by umpire Jim Joyce in
the top of the ninth inning with two outs against Cleveland on June 2, 2010.

Dinara Safina is featured in all her glorious gothness in the November issue of Russian Harper's Bazaar.
In the issue she "reveals how to become the top-seeded tennis player in the world, and what she would do if she didn't play tennis."
Question: Why does every lady baller have to be marketed as some kind of pouty model? Dinara is one of the last ladies (next to Sveta, maybe) that I would've imagined showing up trying to sell clothes in a fashion rag. It's not her schtick and now we can all see why.
It would've been great to see a few images Dinara smiling, looking relaxed and wearing some fun, youthful fashion to go along with the article. I mean, she's only 23-years old but looks so much older here. Ugh.
WAIT! So now I'm thinking Frank N. Furter was the mag's inspiration for Dinara's styling and just in time for Halloween. Now it all makes sense. I was so wrong.
UPDATE: Dinara just retired from her round robin match against Jelena Jankovic in Doha. There are unconfirmed reports she is suffering from a back injury. She left the court in tears. Vera Zvonareva will replace D in the White Group tomorrow if she's unable to play. Of course, Serena Williams will grab the year-end ranking if she doesn't show as well. Stay tuned.
UPDATE #2: Back injury reports now confirmed. Her participation is still in doubt.
UPDATE #3: Dinara's out of the YEC and ReRe's in as year-end No.1. How very anticlimactic, but the right lady baller got the big prize in the end.

I didn't know Dinara had a waist before seeing the first picture. But I have to say that she does look much prettier than usual and her legs run on forever.ReplyDelete
LOL rich - nice reference. I think Dina looks really pretty in some of those pictures - her figure looks amazing. But I feel they're lacking in her personality. I really like how bubbly and funny she is, it's a pity they didn't show that.ReplyDelete
Oh, Richie. Don't you remember when you were a young girl and loved dressing up and wearing way too much make-up? ;)ReplyDelete
But yeah, I get your point about the young lady ballers. Forget that, how about ALL young girls (pop, movie stars, etc.) trying to get famous? You can't make it anymore unless you market yourself as a sex object.
Now, if it were Rafa, I can completely understand the public demand...;)

Her legs go on forever... my God...ReplyDelete
I think this is the worst end to Doha ever. I really do think Safina earned it, it's not like she got no.1 by lottery. No way in hell would I make a ranking system that rewards somone for winning twice in a year, even if they are the biggest tournaments. It's like promoting a guy in a company that works for like two days but does a freaking awesome job on those two days. Why would I do that? I'd rather go for the person who actually shows up every day and doesn't do a bad job!
Yeah I know I know... each to their own about this issue!
I'm a little torn on the pics. I think Dinara looks good (her back is gorge in #2 and her legs are slammin') but agree that the pouty-sex-object thing is a bit overdone lol.ReplyDelete
As far as the other news goes, in a word: ugh. What a crap way to end the year. I think I'll always be in Dinara's corner. She seems like a good kid with a good heart & a good work ethic; I hate that she gets bullied. Hope 2010 brings bigger & better things for D. :)

Anon 6:24: I completely agree with you on the #1 ranking. It's true that Serena won 2 GS titles this year, but given her performance in the WTA tournaments, I wouldn't call her "the right woman" here, it's not really fair. Safina may choke in GS finals, but she didn't kill anybody to earn the #1 spot.ReplyDelete

the people what do we have grandslams for?? just for sponsors?? NO!! grandslams are what pro players work towards, all the other tournaments prepare them for the biggest stages of the game...so dinara can win as many pro tourneys as she wants, but no one is remembered for that....its what goes down in the books, grandslam books......ReplyDelete

Pee Dee EMC's lights-for-farmers program wins a national service award
Pee Dee Electric's marketing representative Todd Moore (right) accepts the NRECA Community Service Award for Energy Efficiency from NRECA board president Curtis Nolan. [Photo: Michael E.C.Gery]
At its annual meeting in Nashville a month ago, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) honored Wadesboro-based Pee Dee EMC with the association's Community Service Award for Energy Efficiency. Only one co-op is cited each year for this award.
Consistent with electric cooperative's longstanding commitment to saving their members money through greater efficiency, Pee Dee Electric developed a program to install more efficient lighting at local poultry and livestock facilities, offering rebates to members who purchase the new bulbs.
"This program exemplifies the cooperative difference: Pee Dee Electric is looking out for their members, finding innovative technologies to help them save electricity and money," said NRECA CEO Jo Ann Emerson.
Pee Dee Electric makes high-efficiency agricultural lighting available to farmers to replace existing high-wattage incandescent bulbs in poultry houses and livestock barns. The LED bulbs pay for themselves in energy savings in six months. To date, Pee Dee Electric has sold 102,000 of these energy-efficient bulbs to more than 542 farmers. The calculated daily savings for the average poultry house that replaces 60-watt incandescent bulbs with 8-watt LED bulbs is 82.4 kilowatt-hours per day.

Taking the runner-up spot is Zimbra Collaboration Suite.

What's not to like: It provides an easy migration path from Microsoft Exchange, recognizes the importance of working with Outlook and taps the power of Ajax technology to exploit the benefits of Web services.
