SRAM's PC-951 is the least expensive chain to feature PowerChain II technology, which increases front and load shifting performance without sacrificing rear shifting precision. With chrome hardened rivet pins developed using the Step2 riveting process, the PC-951 is not only incredibly smooth but extremely strong. It also features the PowerLink closing system, which makes this chain very easy to install and maintain.
This is a great everyday chain for the money. I've ridden a lot in the winters here in muddy conditions and still get 1000 miles or more before they wear out.
Not as shiny as some of the plated ones, but rock solid reliable and the PowerLink keeps maintenance and emergency repair quick and easy.
If you are still running 9sp, these are the chains to get! Way more durable, shifts perfectly and has the removable link for cleaning. I've been running both these and the PC971 for the last 6 yrs with Dura Ace and there is no reason to use the more expensive Shimano.
Just like the the chain from the factory. Great for my new build. shifts great have been using SRAM chains for years after I had a shimano chain break during a race. THe Gold power link is the best.
Just had to replace a 5 year old PC-951. It's been a great chain and went a LOT of miles. Used primarily dry lube (wax type) with cleanings after every few rides. Excellent chain. I've used the 971 and the 991 as well and couldn't tell the difference shifting with this one. Chain was run on a 2011 Sram 990 cassette, Truvativ aluminum front rings with Shimano LX/XT mix.
This is an excellent chain for the price. Who even cares if it last half as long as an expensive chain because you can buy like 5 of these for as much as one of them costs. The PowerLink technology is really foolproof and super easy for trailside repairs. I wouldn't put a Shimano chain on my bike if you gave one to me.
These non-plated SRAM chains are functionally identical to the PC-971 model, but less shiny. Good price here.
I put my bike through hell. This chain has never required attention other than cleaning. That is all I ask of a chain.

Wastewater study under way at Bay Park
County announces plans to explore alternatives
1 2 Next page >
A major study, now under way, will explore new methods of discharging treated wastewater from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, according to Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano.
"For decades, the community has sought alternatives for discharging treated sewage from the Bay Park plant," Mangano said. "Today those hopes come alive, thanks to environmental cleanup commitments made by Congressman Peter King, U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and my administration. Together we will work to improve our environment and repair the county's aging sewage-treatment plants."
The study will lead to recommendations for onsite upgrades and improvements, and help determine the feasibility of constructing an outfall pipe that would extend into the Atlantic Ocean. Treated discharge, or effluent, is currently released into Reynolds Channel, north of Long Beach and south of the Bay Park plant.
CH2M Hill, a consulting, design and construction firm, is conducting the study, which is being funded by county capital improvement funds and a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA grant will provide 55 percent of the project cost, up to a maximum of $275,500. The county funds are contingent on the plant's compliance with an order by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to make necessary repairs after a spill of treated solids into Reynolds Channel in October 2010. According to Mangano, conditions at the Bay Park plant have dramatically improved, and it has not incurred any environmental violations in nearly 18 months.
"The general consensus is that any and all upgrades to the plant will improve quality of life for the communities surrounding the plant," said Kristin Ochtera, a Bay Park resident and a longtime advocate of improvements at the plant. "The devil is in the details, and the definition of upgrades. An outfall pipe extending into the ocean will dramatically improve the water quality of the western bays, no argument."

The ocean outfall pipe would've been accomplished almost 5 years ago if Santino and his Town of Hempstead cronies didn't fight consolidation and the windfall federal funds that would've paid for upgrades to the existing plant AND the pipe extension to the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, we got 5 more years with a filthy, almost lifeless bay.
Oh, and the consolidation they were so deadset against and did everything they could to delay? Santino admitted he couldn't stop it. Instead he delayed consolidation as long as he could score political points from it. By that time, the federal funds were gone. So he got exactly what he pretended to be preventing without the benefit of the ocean pipe... Thanks Tony!

Video: One mother's battle with her son's mental illness
Video: A mother's battle with her son's mental illness
Video: Mental Illness in America
ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- "I missed the road, I don't know."
Denise Haynes has made several wrong turns trying to find her son. As she makes another U-turn in heavy Alpharetta traffic, she says, "I think he'll stick out like a sore thumb."
RELATED | Signs of mental illness and how to get help
Denise Haynes is searching for Phillip, her only child. She has not seen him in months and is terrified what she'll find.
"Not knowing is horrific, and knowing is horrific," she said.
Denise said Phillip was a typical, slightly quirky, video game obsessed kid, home schooled and bright.
"He was funny, nice, articulate, intelligent, very social," she said.
But then he began to change less than two years ago.
"I saw him withdrawing," she said. "It was that lone wolf syndrome. He started to withdraw. He started to not do anything."
Denise said her 25-year-old son thought he was King Solomon and that he had 500 wives.
"And he would look at women until he thought their faces turned red. I know it sounds bizarre, but it's true." When asked if she was scared of her son, Denise answered, "At times, yes. Because he made me very uncomfortable."
She had him committed this summer. He was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and delusions but was let out of the facility because they did not find he was a threat to himself or others.
The stack of papers that sits on Denise's kitchen table is the story of her search for help for Phillip, with every avenue winding up a dead end. Because he was not threatening others or himself, there was nothing she could do because he was an adult, and he refused help.
RELATED | Tragedy could put mental health in spotlight
Then he disappeared.
"I thought he was dead," she said. "We were calling hospitals."
For Denise, the Connecticut shootings were horrible, but possible. She said when she saw the news, "I started to shake. In my own mind, I could see how that could happen."
She imagined what Adam Lanza's mother had gone through before her life was ended by her son. "I really don't think she thought her son was a killer. I really don't think so. I don't think my son is, but after seeing that, he could be. I'm not willing to take the chance."
The day of the shootings, Denise heard Phillip was living behind an abandoned shopping center just minutes from her apartment. We went with her, and she searched the center until she found him, and Phillip agreed to talk to us.
When we found Phillip, he was sitting on a sidewalk beneath a small awning, his belongings spread out around him in various bags, a scarf tied around his head. He is unkempt and friendly. Denise tells him what she wants him to do.
"I have a place I would like to take you so you can get the help and medication that would be helpful to you so you could function in a better life than you are now," she said.
At first Phillip seems amenable to the idea. She asks him, "Do you want to be helped?"
He answers. "Similar to the stray house cat, I'd like to be helped."
But then Phillip realizes his mother is talking about another mental facility. He thought she had been talking about a hotel. His tone changes. "Oh no no no. I'm not interested in that. I'm not interested in a facility."
His speech becomes confusing. "It depends if I'd have black level complacency." When asked what that is, he responded, "I don't know. Solitude has driven me mad, similar to the deranged hermit."
He grows irritated as she continues to offer help and he says he only wants money. "If you want to help me financially that's fine! If you don't have faith in me, that's OK."
Denise tries another tactic, snapping a photo of him with her phone and showing it to him. Holding it up, she said, "This is what you look like."
Phillip looks for a moment at his photo before saying, "I'm not giving up. I'm not able to be defeated." She then shows him a picture of how he looked one year ago, clean cut, well dressed, smiling. He barks out a laugh. "And you know where that got me? It got me here."
With Phillip refusing all help, his mother prepares to go.
"Mom can you help me financially?" he asked.
"No," she said. "I will help you get help, the help you need."
Denise says she'll never give up, but she has run out of options. She gets in her car to drive home, missing a son who is lost to her.
"He's a shell of what he used to be," she said. "He's no longer him. There's no core, he's absolutely empty. There's nothing inside except madness."

He is one of the few surgeons in the country who perform the laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and is the medical director of the Weight Loss Surgery Center at Miami Valley Hospital.
When patients take such an important life step, it is good to know that a weight loss surgery team is recognized for the care they provide. The MVH Weight Loss Surgery Center is accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.
Our weight loss surgeons make office visits easy for patients. They keep office hours at two locations throughout the Dayton area:

For DistrictsStudent Athletic Interest and Abilities Survey
Frequently Asked Questions
Under state law (RCW 28A.640.020 and
WAC 392-190-040), each school district must administer a student survey at least once every three years to assist in determining student interest in participation in specific sports. The survey must be administered by each school district at all grade levels where interscholastic, intramural, and other sports and recreational activities are conducted.
More information about the athletic interest survey is available in OSPI's
Prohibiting Discrimination in Washington Public Schools.
Do I have to use the OSPI Student Survey Form?
Yes. Schools must use the OSPI sample athletic interest survey (WAC
Schools may modify the content of the survey if the district deems it necessary
to clarify and assist in the evaluation of student interest. If a school intends
to modify the content of the sample survey, the school must provide a copy of
the proposed survey to the Equity and Civil Rights Office at OSPI for approval
before administering the survey. Schools do not need OSPI approval for changes

What should I do with the results of the survey?
The findings of the survey should reflect the following minimum information disaggregated by sex:
Each school district should consider the results of the athletic survey when conducting their
annual self-evaluation of their athletic programs.
We encourage schools to use the results of their survey as an opportunity to meet with athletic staff and building administrators to determine if any action steps are needed and whether the process used to conduct the survey was successful.
It is important to share findings with the student body to not only show value for student opinions and requests, but to also encourage discussion of why students are or are not participating in athletics. For example, if a top sport requested is currently not feasible, it is important to share the reasoning with students and other interested parties, including school board members.

Mother Knows Best
I recently came across the following quote, "A worried mother does better research than the FBI."ĀIf you are a reader of my blog, my guess is that you can relate to that. I certainly can. From the time I found out I was pregnant to present day, I've found that to be so true. Of course I don't take it literally, but I do find that when a mom is concerned about her child (I like the word concerned more than worried) and X, Y, or Z, she will research the heck of out it, talk to othersĀwho know about the topic, and then researchRead More →

Hi Serphine, There are a number of ways in to upscale the base map size, but I've uploaded a higher resolution version of the base map on the challenge thread.
Oh cool, thanks!
I'll probably have to re-do everything, but I think I will be much more satisfied with the result.
Looking good Sera-H.
This is just a suggestion though, but you might want to put some variety into the building placement, shapes and colors (and if already working on that, please ignore my last.)
I would also think about putting a semi transparent layer of dark green under your trees to bring them a bit more unity...
I know this is a bit late and Rav has already taken care of the problem, but what I did to make the base picture larger and higher res was to up the scale; the original was at 1000px by something so I put it at 3000px by whatever the ration gave me, and also raised the resolution from 150 to 300. This made things a bit blurry though (which I didn't notice until later) but gave me a larger picture to work with.
Hope that helps in the future...
now to actually get some work done on mine ...

T + 40 minutes? Dream on. In my department that's how long it takes to approve A.
- July 11, 2011 at 1:41 PM
Proposed amendment:
"... the time it takes to reach the end of A will be T+ 40 minutes *at least*."
- July 11, 2011 at 3:31 PM
Would someone like to second the proposed amendment at 3:31pm?
- July 11, 2011 at 4:46 PM
I second it
- July 11, 2011 at 5:44 PM
Wait, the ellipses should be made explicit before I'm able to vote on the amendment.
- July 11, 2011 at 5:57 PM
Are we voting on the amendment to a motion, or on the amended motion? Because my vote wouldn't necessarily be the same.
- July 11, 2011 at 6:14 PM
I move to close debate on the amendment.

Meetings are not over when everything has been said, but only, at the earliest, when everything has been said by everyone.

Wait: before we go onto that, aren't we still considering the motion to close debate on the amendment? If not, then we should formally vote on that motion.
- July 11, 2011 at 10:39 PM
Exactly, Justin. No other business can be conducted while there is a motion to close debate on the floor. Or table, for Americans.

(Supreme Court Justice) Roberts' Rules of Disorder:
"Corporate entity votes shall be recorded as univocal but counted as 2/3rds of a majority weighed against any given collective of adversarial individual citizen's votes (known as the Dreaded Scot's decision), unless that entity earns more than 10 billion dollars per annum, in which case such an entity's vote counts as 2/3rds multiplied by a factor of 2 commensurate with per annum earnings of every additional 10 billion dollars."
Freedom of speech has a price after all, right? It's just that the Founders didn't know about "The Price Is Right" as a legal principle.
Ok--I know I'm off-script on this thread. Only because (i) I'm an academic in fucking Teapublican Wisconsin and (ii) I'm on a summer committee dealing endlessly in meetings with repercussions from our insane governor's actions. So not only is my brain fried from Spiros' law, but I'm like that guy in "Network" too.
- July 12, 2011 at 12:54 AM
Did we even have an original motion? If not, we need to make that clear before amending it, let alone before ending debate about the amendment of it or about it as amended.
- July 12, 2011 at 12:12 PM
Good point. We'll have to vote on that after we've voted on the present motion.
And after both those votes, I suggest we have a further vote on whether all these 'Anonymous' posters should be counted as distinct persons for the sake of quorum. If not, then all three (or more) of the votes currently under discussion must retroactively be considered null and void.
Or so I would vote, anyway. Perhaps we should have a fourth vote on that matter after the other votes have taken place. Or, perhaps not. Let's vote on that fifth afterward, though. Otherwise, it'll get too confusing and we'll end up wasting everyone's time.

You're all voting on something? Can someone fill me in? I propose we table all motions until all members voting members are fully informed.
- July 12, 2011 at 7:06 PM
We need to vote now. When I talked to someone high in the administration, that person said that if the department doesn't [vote my way], there would be serious consequences.
- July 12, 2011 at 7:20 PM
Serious consequences? How serious? Is there no way to avoid them? I'd like to hear more about it. No, better yet, since this meeting is already behind schedule, let's put together an ad hoc committee to look into that question and report back to us at our next meeting.
Is everyone in agreement that we should open the floor to nominations of committee members? Or should we vote on my suggestion first?

***Takes out and opens Contract Document***
Wait a second...
***Flips through pages, searching***
It seems that any ad hoc committees must contain only tenured faculty members--unless there's a vote on changing our governing document to amend that provision, or, in case that non-tenured TT faculty outnumber tenured faculty, then any ad hoc committee may be constituted from non-tenured TT and tenured faculty *after* a set of tenured faculty from the Humanities has declined to substitute for such non-tenured TT faculty. Oh--and in such case the Humanities Council Chair must be contacted to set up a secret ballot in no less than two weeks following the department request.
- July 13, 2011 at 10:06 PM
The only thing worse than having departmental meetings is not having departmental meetings. Srsly.
- July 14, 2011 at 11:58 AM
Thanks for bringing that to our attention, 729.
However, as representative on Senate, I should note that those conditions may change. In the last round of contract negotiations, it was decided on both sides that the language of the Contract Document surrounding restrictions on non-tenured committee membership, etc. need to be revised.
At next month's Senate meeting, we are to vote on sweeping changes related to those parts of the Contract Document. If the vote goes the way it seems certain to, and all relevant pending decisions at the various faculty councils will become null and void insofar as they depend on the language of the old Contract Document language.
So before wasting our time approaching the Chair of Humanities Council, I submit that we be patient and wait for the Senate vote. If it goes as expected, then it will only be a matter of time before we have a new Contract Document to work with.

Mint Hill ice cream truck nationally recognized
By Derek Lacey / Staff Writer
Karen and David Trauner started their business Stick and Cones Ice Cream to do more than the average food truck and more than the average ice cream truck.
"We created a menu that we felt would be different, we didn't want to just be a soft-serve truck that threw on Reese's Pieces and Oreos, we wanted to aim for something a little more eclectic," Karen said.
They were recently recognized for that extra effort and uniqueness by MSN.com and their foodie website Delish.com as one of "15 Cool and Innovative Ice Cream Trucks."
Their "Cones" truck, one of two that they own, was recognized by the website, citing its use of homemade baked goods and innovative recipes.
