Video: Possible pipe bomb in Arlington, Va.
ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- Arlington County Police rendered what was believed to be a potential pipe bomb safe.
At about 4:20 p.m., officers pulled a car over in the 100 block of S Highland St. and saw what appeared to be a metal pipe with caps on both ends, police said.
Arlington County Police, Fire Dept., and the bomb squad responded to the scene to investigate the vehicle. Highland St. was closed from Route 50 to S 2nd St. during the investigation.
Bomb technicians detonated the device in the vehicle to render it safe and found the pipe was empty. The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody.
The investigation has been handed over to the Arlington Police Department.

The time has come for the annual "Maria Mystery": what will the Russian fashionista be wearing on the green lawns of Wimbledon this year?
Suffice it to say I would be completely shocked and a bit impressed if Nike and Maria came up with the following outfit for her to wear. Traditionally the 21-year old leans towards dresses, and there is also a dress option this year, but what she's wearing in the ad campaign is the Sharapova Wimbledon Sleeveless Top and the Sharapova Wimbledon Woven Short from the White/Gold Collection.
The top is reminiscent of a men's suit vest with the 3-button placket on the front (and we know how much Maria's been loving that look.) The dreaded shorty-shorts, which I've never liked, make up the bottom of this outfit. I like that they're not super low-rise and have interesting 2-button detailing on the waistband and a cinch on the back. I'll take a wait-and-see approach on the shorts.
The second option, which would be the obvious choice for the Russian, is the Wimbledon Tiered Pleats Dress which looks similar to the much ballyhooed Swan Dress from last year's Championships. The dress is essentially a tank dress with triple-tiered pleating and a keyhole back. Simple, elegant and classic.
Here's the description:
Under the tagline "Pretty Traditional", this slogan represents not only the underlying beauty of the dress as well as a double meaning inferring its traditional design albeit with a non-conservative approach. Sharapova was also given the Wimbledon Blazer Mid Lux, a reinvented version of the classic Blazer basketball shoe. As part of the Grand Slam Lux Line, it combines top quality premium leather coupled with high-class touches such as satin ribbon laces. The sneaker also draws references to Maria's appreciation of the Wimbledon Tennis Dress with ruffles on the back tab.
Say what?! A basketball shoe with ruffles paired with that dress?? So they've clipped her wings and given her high tops. Innovative.
I searched around and found a version of a Nike Blazer Mid Lux, and if Maria's working something close to these shoes, I'll die, die, die:

FASHION FIX: Sharapova's Wimbledon outfit revealed? Maybe so!
10 comments:
- IheartRAFAJune 17, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I would think the sleeveless top and shorts are the outfits for Serena, not Maria. Serena used to get the best designs from Nike before Maria won Wimby, but now the latter got all the attention, all the time.ReplyDelete
Speaking of bad design (re Addidas+Ana), I never liked any of Maria Kirilenko's outfits. I think Miss Stella McCarthy is a very bad designer....and her tennis outfit designs sometimes looked like a joke.
- KarolinaJune 18, 2008 at 2:41 AM
If Adidas are receiving criticism, then it's Nike's turn!!ReplyDelete
That Wimby '08 dress is an EXACT replica of the one she wore last year!! Not exactly innovative for a company that prides themselves on being 'cutting ege'.
Maria should have worn her Aussie
'08 dress to Wimby, it was the perfect occasion for it.
The dress and the snickers are from the last year I think. I found on two the web sites posts from last June where it's shown. I guess we still don't know what Maria will wear!ReplyDelete
Here are the last year's posts. Look at the dates.
so maybe it's the shirt and shorts? that would be different for sure!ReplyDelete
I don't like much shirt and shorts, I hope she'll wear a nice dress as the Tiffany dress from Paris!ReplyDelete
we can only hope lana...let's keep everything crossed for something beautifulReplyDelete
i personally LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of the sleeveless top with the shorts! I think it's so classic, yet cutting edge. I mean picture that on the lawns of Wimby! That is Amazing!!!!ReplyDelete
right eliu? i think that would real innovation and a nice mix of tradition with a modern flair. like i said, i've never been a fan of the shorty-shorts but if they're designed with trouser details, it could be REALLY interesting.ReplyDelete
holding my breath...
- AnonymousJune 20, 2008 at 3:40 AM
Yeah, that's right rich. It could be really interesting, but I would prefer the dress. It's much more classic en tipically Maria. And about that Adidas Dress of Ana Ivanovic, it's so ordinary, nothing new. And it isn't sexy at all. I think Ana's dresses this year were boring, especially that blue dress she wore at the Australian Open. By the way, that red Adidas Dress Ana is wearing from February till now! So cheapReplyDelete
Rich, I have news for you. On Maria Sharapova unveiled on her website that she's going to wear the shorts. She says that she wanted something different than other years, so it are the shorts.ReplyDelete

Not good at all. Too saturated, no taste.
Hamburger Buddy
From EatingWell: September/October 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast—it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.
160 Reviews for Hamburger Buddy
This was disgusting. It had no flavor at all, and while making it, it became obvious to me that the person who wrote this recipe didn't know how to cook. Following the directions leads to severely overcooking the vegetables to the point where they nearly dissolve into the sauce, and the only hint of flavor is the Worchestershire sauce, although that mostly gets lost in the mud of the rest of this recipe. Why, why, why would anyone want to copy Hamburger Helper, which is the notoriously worst food in existence? (I made this because my mother found the recipe and insisted that I cook it for her. She apologized afterward because it was such a bad recipe.)
Why isn't there a terrible rating? Poor is too good for this mush.
I read the reviews and I thought that perhaps the people who gave this low reviews were following the recipe to closely or didn't have as much experience in cooking, and had difficulty improvising. Well, I am very experienced, and I was amazed at just how bland and flavorless this was - I'm not even sure where in the recipe things went awry, but I ended up adding a tablespoon of tomato paste and taco seasoning, then sprinkled some crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese on top and put it under the broiler for a minute or two. It became edible, and the family liked it OK, but it wasn't really healthy at that point. So disappointed...
I think that part of the problem with reviews on this recipe COULD be that people (like me) was looking to this as a substitute for the way unhealthy but tasty Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper. This recipe is not that and if someone takes a bite into it expecting that, they will be disappointed.
Having said that - this recipe is a nice change of pace and a good way to have comfort food with some veggies mixed in (coming from someone who is not a veggie fan). I had some big garlic cloves and it definitely had a garlic taste to it and was honestly a bit bland otherwise. I salted and peppered it and put a little bit of shredded cheddar in it and thought it tasted good.
I probably won't make it much because it did seem a bit labor intensive for a weeknight meal. I'll be interested in seeing what my husband has to say about it.
This has become one of my family's go-to meals, a real comfort food-type dish. My husband and two teen boys are big meat eaters so I actually double the amount of ground beef and up the pasta to about 12 ounces for extra heartiness. The only other modification I make is to add to replace the water with more broth and throw in a generous handful of grated sharp cheddar, for a bit of a "cheeseburger mac" twist. Rounded out with a spinach salad, it makes a healthy, hearty meal for hungry guys!

I work for a High School District which is considering using Zimbra for 4000 student email accounts, but I am having a problem setting some postfix configs. I have to setup zimbra to restict students so they can send and recieve from the domain in which they belong plus a few white listed domains. I am attempting to modify the
to include "check_sender_access hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/restricted_senders"
but it seems that everything I restart zimbra this setting is reset to
"smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_recipient, permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unauth_destination, permit"
Am I not going to be able to modify this in postfix? Is there a easier way to block sending and recieving to all domains with the exception of a few whitelisted sites. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

Hi, I'm doing migration from old Postfix system to Zimbra. I followed article in Wiki about split domain setup and made my new Zimbra server as smarthost or email gateway. MX record points to Zimbra. I have created all accounts on Zimbra server and made zimbraMailTransport them to old server. Made old server to relay all mail through Zimbra. So far so good.
Now I'm migrating one account. I made local zimbraMailTransport for this account, imapsync'ed mailbox, deleted account on old server. Everything works except one thing. When users on old server are trying to mail this migrated account, old Postfix server responses that there is no such account. It doesn't try to relay this "unknown" mail because it knows, that it is from our domain and there is no such account in our domain anymore.
One thing, of course, is to make transport entry for every migrated account in old server. Haven't tried yet, but i think it will work that way. But how would i migrate accounts from Exchange or some ISP controlled server where I can not play with transport maps.
Maybe i missed some point of split domain setup. What am I doing or thinking wrong?

Think Spring, Part 4
There are so many gorgeous images of wisteria online that I have to apologize for the underwhelming nature of this one. If you'd like to see some better examples, check here for starters. Believe it or not, wisteria is a relative of the pea. These woody vines can be grown in just about any zone, and the plants are available as trees, shrubs or vines with blossom colors ranging from lavender to pink, white, and deep purple/blue. Wisteria flowers in the spring. Some varieties are fragrant. But watch out for the seed pods, which are poisonous.
Wisteria does need some specialized care and feeding, as well as pruning to prevent it from taking over. You'll find more detailed instructions on wisteria care here and here.
Readers, please send twig (email@example.com) images and stories for the ongoing Plantidote of the Day series. In exchange, you'll win undying fame in the form of a hat tip! Plants growing in your garden, your house, or neighbor's yard, plants from the forest or farmers' market, plants you preserved, plants you prepared (wine; cider; tea; dried beans), plants you harvested (grains; chantrelles), plants you picked (flowers), plants you dried (herbs), plants you covet or hope to grow someday. Herbal remedies, propagation tips, new varieties, etc..

Spring isn't too far away...
I have yet to order seeds...
And they can grow ... hell, what am i talking about, the USDA recently made the little pocket i call The Superior Riveria a flippin Zone 6. Oddly enough, i can believe it. However, spring feels pretty damned far away at the moment, given that we're just emerging from that cold snap the East Coast is getting now and have been seeing high temps of 0 or less and wind chills below -20.
I know it isn't though. And thank goodness for that. I hope to work 50 hrs/week or less this spring/summer/fall and dedicate some serious time to the yarden.

RAYLAND - A pair of teams looking to get untracked meet Friday night at World War II Memorial Stadium as Buckeye Local (1-1) rolls out the red - er, blue - carpet for John Marshall (0-2).
This has been an air-tight series in the past, with neither team able to take complete control. What this week holds in store, only time will tell.
The Panthers are coming off a 24-6 victory last Saturday against Westinghouse, Pa., while the Monarchs were beaten the same day, 31-20 on the road at Bellaire.
''We've seen them three times,'' John Marshall coach Rick Goodrich said. ''Cambridge in an early scrimmage, against Utica and then Westinghouse. They've gotten a lot better since the first time we've seen them.
''Coach (Phil) Pest and those guys are doing great job with their kids.''
Buckeye Local, despite its victory, would no doubt like to get its offense going. Westinghouse limited the Panthers to 103 yards of offense - 62 rushing, 41 passing. Defensively, Pest credited one of his freshmen, Dylan Dokes, as a big reason the Panthers won.
Pest thinks the offensive side of the ball will pick it up now that it knows who is running the show.
''We've settled in there at quarterback with Nathan Kirk,'' Pest said. ''And we got a lot of good time out of our fullback.''
Kirk threw a 12-yard touchdown to Shane Duncan, ran one in from 1 yard and Andy Stock took a punt back 74 yards for another score.
''It's really good to see Andy Stock running at full force again. He's coming off that ACL surgery and when he gets in the open field, he can be fun to watch,'' Pest said.
Goodrich isn't so much worried about the open field. He figures Buckeye is going to try to punch the Monarchs in the mouth on both sides of the ball.
''They notoriously have tough kids over there,'' Goodrich said. ''They're a physical team that gets to the ball.
''Westinghouse is pretty athletic and quick and Buckeye's defense shut them down.''
Goodrich says the Monarchs are making progress, and he points to the latter stages against the Big Reds.
''We were watching film. It's late in the fourth quarter and we had seven and eight players running to the ball,'' he said. ''The kids fought back and battled adversity.
''We made great strides. Saturday we played with a lot of heart.''

Associated with: Doshi, Balkrishna V. Related person for: Kahn, Louis I., 1901-1974
Collaborated with: Wright, Frank Lloyd, 1867-1959 Related person for: Niedecken-Walbridge Company
Unless there is strong feeling that this pattern is less clear or meaningful, I suggest that we revise all the examples to follow this pattern.
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)
I propose we add a heading for the list of general designators:
K.1.1 General Relationship Designators for Persons, Families, and Corporate Bodies
I also suggest some rewording of the introductory paragraph:
"Some relationships are not specific to persons, families, or corporate bodies. These relationships can apply to more than one type of relationship. In some cases, the designation and its reciprocal are the same."
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)
In K.2.1.1. General Person to Person Relationships, you have:
client -- reciprocal: service provider
In K.2.3 Relationship Designators to Relate Persons to Corporate Bodies, and in K.4.1. Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Persons, you have:
client: reciprocal -- client of
Why not "service provider" in this case just like in K.2.1.1?
There is also a patron/client relationship between persons; I'm not sure that isn't more common than client/service provider. Are these different concepts?
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)
Donor, etc.
I see problems with the different sections on "donor":
You have the same definitions for "donor," "patron," "sponsor," and for "donor to," "patron of," and "sponsor of." Since the definitions do not indicate the differences between each relationship designators, it will make it difficult for people to know which term they should use. In K.2.3 Relationship Designators to Relate Persons to Corporate Bodies, the section on donor should be divided like the one in K.4.1 Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Persons. That is, you should add "donor to" in K.2.3 and nest "patron," "sponsor," and "patron of" and "sponsor of" in the proper place.
In K.4.3, Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Corporate Bodies, you have "sponsor" and "sponsor of." Shouldn't you add "donor" and "donor to" and "patron" and "patron of" as in K.2.3 and K.4.1? Could this also be extended to families? Unless you consider only persons (and not corporate bodies and families) to be "donors" or "patrons." In which case, you will need to remove the relationship designators "patron of" and "sponsor of" from K.2.3 Relationship Designators to Relate Persons to Corporate Bodies and "donor," "patron" and "sponsor" from K.4.1 Relationship Designators to Relate Corporate Bodies to Persons.-- Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, June 14, 2013
Since K.2.3. relates persons to corporate bodies and K.4.1. relates corporate bodies back to persons, the reciprocal relationship to the term in one section is the term given in the other section. There are five donor/patron/sponsor designators in K.2.3. and six in K.4.1. What seems to be missing is the reciprocal relationship to K.4.1. donor "A corporate body that provides donated support to the person," which is supposed to be donor to. That term does not appear in K.2.3.; as Dominique says, it should be added, presumably in the form: donor to "A person who receives donated support from the corporate body." That would of course duplicate the existing definition of patron of, adding to the redundancy that Dominique has noted.
In K.4.1., the definition of sponsor should probably be "A corporate body that sponsors the person," to mirror the definition of its reciprocal term sponsor of "A person sponsored by the corporate body" in K.2.3.
I'm not going to argue with the Task Force's decision that donors and patrons are not needed in K.4.3. to relate corporate bodies to other corporate bodies. The difficulty coming up with precise definitions may indicate that there are too many different terms in this area already. --Robert J. Rendall (talk) 09:47, 14 June 2013 (PDT)
I wonder if "donor" (and the related sub-terms) should be consolidated and moved under K.1 as relationships that are not specific to persons, families or corporate bodies. The same approach could be made with founder, sponsor, client, etc. that appear in more than one section of the proposed additions to Appendix K. Do we have a general principle to apply when terms should move into that (newly proposed) category vs. when they should be differentiated and kept in different sections of this appendix? - Glennan (PCC) 6/14/13
I find it odd that "domestic partner" is indented under "spouse" in K.2.1.2, when the definition starts "A person other than a spouse...." If we want to nest them, isn't "domestic partner" really the broader term? - Glennan (PCC) 6/14/13
Not necessarily a problem, but I want to make sure: in K.2.2, "performer" is defined exclusively as a person. In I.3.1, "performer" is defined as a person, family, or corporate body. Since these are different appendices, this may not matter.... - Glennan (PCC) 6/14/13
When the reciprocal of a designator is in a different list (as is the case in K.2.2), shouldn't we add a reference? -- "(see K.3.1)" in this case.
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)
In K.4.1, I'm not sure that the relationship between "architect of" and a building (etc.) is one between a person and a corporate body. Buildings are really places, right? Where does RDA support the concept of buildings (etc.) as corporate bodies? - Glennan (PCC) 6/14/13
In K.4.3, I'm not sure that the relationship between a "landscape architectural firm" and the landscape is one between two corporate bodies. Instead, I believe that the landscape (etc.) is a place. I have a similar concern with including "architectural firm" in this section (see my comments under K.4.1). - Glennan (PCC) 6/14/13
For both architects (K.4.1 and K.4.3), our convention of treating buildings as corporate bodies is a guideline for the creation and application of LC Subject Headings (not to mention encoding them in MARC 21). Within the FR model, it is arguable that buildings are Objects rather than Corporate Bodies. In any case, the real point we want to make is that the architect designed the building, not that there is some sort of corporate relationship. The case for landscape architect (K.4.3) is even more difficult to justify, as gardens are treated as places (and NOT jurisdictional places) in LCSH. In both cases, I believe that it would be best to deal with these as subject relationships and not include them in Appendix K.
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)
I have a somewhat less clear issue with capital/capital of (K.4.3). The justification for including these in Appendix K is that the places in question are jurisdictions. That is clear in the case of the higher jurisdiction, but I'm not sure that the relationship is to the capital as a jurisdiction or the capital as a place. While I appreciate the effort to provide designations for relationships between places in RDA, this can only be done in Appendix K if we agree that they are jurisdictions.
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)

1952 Chevy Three-Window - Horta CultureWritten by on July 15, 2011 Jon-Mark's '52 Three-Window A-D
It was back in 1987, during the coldest season of the year, when Jon-Mark Horta of Atwater, California, decided he'd like to find an old truck to fix up as a winter project. For folks living in our nation's Rust Belt the plan would have meant looking in the fields, trying to find something that still resembled a truck. But living in central California is a different story. The arid region is the state's breadbasket, and it's never been that hard to locate a rust-free old farm truck to restore.
Jon-Mark combed the area and soon found a '52 Chevy pickup for $1,200, and drove it home. When he rolled up the wife and kids went absolutely wild, they loved it. Jon-Mark said the entire family, including their Basset Hound, enjoyed cruising around in the classic hauler. The original 216-inch Stovebolt motor was good for about two years of fun before its dipper-rods started to sound like they wanted to stop dipping. In fact, there wasn't much about the '52's drivetrain that didn't need to be attended to. Jon-Mark had heard about grafting a late-model front clip on an old truck to gain modern features, so the search was on for a good candidate to be the donor. In early 1990 Jon-Mark found a '73 Chevy Monte Carlo for $300, and it was time to rock and roll.
He found a guy at a shop in Atwater that had done a few clips, and in no time the Monte had lost its Carlo. After spending all day working on the ranch Jon-Mark would swing by the shop and lend the guy a hand. Back at the ranch, Jon-Mark had sandblasted and prepped the '52's body panels, and then sprayed the truck Malibu Yellow. For its first time around, Jon-Mark ran the wheels off the '52 for roughly 12 years before he got a hankering to ride Harley-Davidsons again, and parked the yellow beast. Jon-Mark's Hog riding buddies would swing by to go for a putt or play pool and ask why he wasn't driving the truck. "I told them the bodywork just wasn't right," Jon-Mark said. "They didn't agree, but nevertheless I didn't want to drive it as it was." As luck would have it Jon-Mark's daughter Stephanie married a guy that's one helluva body man and painter. "A high-quality hot rod builder, Robby inspired me to tear it down again, and so with the help and encouragement of my wife, Terry, I tore it down to the frame and started buying all of the high-dollar parts I couldn't afford the first time I built it," tells Jon-Mark. "I narrowed and boxed the framerails, and cut down the Ford 9-inch rearend then installed Currie axles. The gearing is 3.55:1 with a limited slip to help the Nitto NT450 tires stuffed into Centerline 17-inch wheels hook up. QA1 coilovers handle the rear suspension, while up front I used Fatman Fabrications' narrowed control arms, and bolted on a sway bar. Next, I adapted power disc brakes to all four corners."
The 350-inch small-block commandeered from the '73 Monte Carlo got a set of 10.5:1 JE pistons fitted with Total Seal rings. Jon-Mark installed a Comp cam, and ported and polished the heads. An Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold is topped with a Holley four-barrel carb, and Hooker headers, ceramic coated by Caps in nearby Fresno, dump into Flowmaster mufflers. The TH350 automatic transmission was built by Jay Walker, and received a B&M high-stall converter along with a polished-aluminum high-capacity pan from PML.
Inside the cab is viewed through a V-butted windshield revealing a black leather Cadillac CTS power seat, with a cut-down CTS console. Castillo Upholstery in Merced, California, surrounded the Caddy combo with black and gray vinyl with green piping. Larry King installed the healthy custom stereo capable of playing music via a thumb drive or an MP3 player. A big amp backs two 6s, two 8s, and a 10-inch subwoofer. The Central Valley's extreme heat is tamed with an Old Air air-conditioning system, and Ron Francis wiring strung by Jon-Mark handles all of the '52's electrical needs.
Outside, Robby Jeppesen frenched the headlights, filled the seams, and then sprayed the entirety House of Kolor Limetime green mixed by Bob's Auto Paint of Merced. The bed wood is pine stained black, and the truck doesn't have a tailgate because Robby never finished it. Jon-Mark said he really doesn't care if he ever sees his tailgate again. He's just happy he's driving his old truck again. CT

Devil babies help get us through January
(Page 2 of 2)
I also recommend the Evian Life Young video, found on YouTube, which shows a seemingly random group of people walking by a reflective storefront and seeing images of themselves as babies, but dressed just the way they are as adults, dancing and preening. It scans better than I can describe it. Guarantee: It will put a smile on your face, and that's big in late January.
The other must-see deep-in-the-heart-of-winter video is a classic I happened to catch live on Florida television. The weatherman was standing at a map, delivering his weather report, when he saw a giant cockroach creeping up his pant leg. He screamed and ran off the set. Then, after a few minutes of "filler," he came back, nice and composed, and was apologizing to the viewing audience when he let loose a maniacal shriek. "It's back!" he said, and the camera panned to the big bug on the floor heading his way. It wasn't a prank; it was real. You can see it for yourself if you search YouTube or Google with the words "weatherman and cockroach."
I know, we have big problems in America: gaping economic disparities, decaying infrastructure, inept lawmakers and wildly erratic weather patterns. We all have friends battling diseases and negotiating family conflicts. But in late January we need to give ourselves a break, have a laugh, listen to a funny story or see a silly movie (not "Inside Llewyn Davis," for pity's sake!).
Perhaps the edgy Baby Devil video appeals to me because I generally have a devil baby sitting next to me on every flight I take, and I fly a lot. I have pretty much perfected the art of discouraging discussion and interaction with fellow adult passengers. As soon as I sit down, I put on headphones and open a book. On night flights, I put on eye shades.
But these tactics have no effect on babies. So, despite my best precautions, last week, on a red-eye from San Francisco, I found myself seated next to a cranky, wailing 1-year-old who had awful green things trailing out of his nose. I realized in that moment that the airlines have their policies all wrong. Babies over 20 pounds should have to fly in the hold, and dogs over 20 pounds should be given seats. Overall, the dogs are better behaved, rarely whine and often smell better.

text: Looks like a good start. I like the color palette you've chosen. I have a couple of suggestions for you. 1. Your rivers end abruptly at the "stroke: around your land mass. The easiest way to fix that is to move your river layer up so that it looks like your rivers are draining into the ocean. 2. If your going for a "hand drawn" or painted look the forest and mountain textures are kind of throwing that off. The blur makes them softer but they still look "photo-realistic" instead of hand drawn. There are many free brush sets for PS that feature hand drawn mountain and tree symbols that might be better suited for this style of map. Overall it's a great start and I look forward to watching this progress.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - It took 13 games, but the Washington Wizards
are no longer winless.
Jordan Crawford scored 19 points and the Wizards were able to overcome a
fourth quarter collapse to defeat the Portland Trailblazers, 84-82, to earn
their first win of the season.
While in the midst of blowing a 15-point fourth quarter lead, Washington was
held scoreless for nearly seven minutes, but held on thanks to a timely 3-
pointer from Crawford and a pair of free throws by Emeka Okafor to avoid
becoming the 10th team in NBA history to lose its first 13 games.
Okafor finished with six points, eight rebounds, three steals and a block,
while Kevin Seraphin tallied a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Trevor Ariza chipped in 15 points in the win.
The Trailblazers dropped their third straight contest of a seven game road
trip. Damian Lillard and Nicolas Batum led Portland with 20 points apiece,
while J.J. Hickson contributed 15 points and a season-high 19 rebounds in the

Federal court records say a man intends to plead guilty in a case in Mississippi in which he's charged with transporting illegal immigrants.
A criminal complaint in U.S. District Court in Jackson says Armando Alvarado was taking four illegal Mexican immigrants from Texas to Georgia when he was pulled over in Mississippi Aug. 23, 2012.
The complaint said Alvarado was stopped on Interstate 20 near Brandon, Miss.
Alvarado previously pleaded not guilty in the case. A court filing Monday said he intends to change his plea.
The complaint also said Alvarado has a history of smuggling illegal immigrants.

Nautilus Lifeline USB Cord
Replacement USB cable for the Nautilus LifeLine GPS radio. Allows you to use your computer to charge the Nautilus LifeLine. With the wall-charger attachment, you can even charge it in any normal power socket.
Pushing the red button. We believe that calling for help at sea should be a lot simpler than using a satellite based system that involves uplinks and downlinks, shore operations offices, marine rescue coordination centres, and full emergency responses. We think it should be as simple as calling boats around you for help whether it's a cool, calm radio call or sending a digital DSC distress message with your GPS position to boats near and far. With devices that are depth rated and tough enough to drive over with a truck.
Our commitment and dedication is to constantly innovate and improve cutting edge technology wrapped in clever mechanicals specifically designed for the harsh marine environment. We are about developing new product categories with solutions that have never before been brought to market.
We do not just dream about this stuff and build it. We live and play in the marine environment. We are scuba divers and sailors; kite-boarders and paddle-boarders; swimmers and surfers. Our team includes commercial fishermen, seasoned ship's captains, marine engineers, floatplane pilots and recreational boaters. We know firsthand the value of being able to call for help easily and without any fuss. Any time. Anywhere in the world.
We invite you to join our project and carry a LifeLine. And to tell your friends about the LifeLine.

LA Library hosts summer presentations
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 19 June 2013 01:00
- Written by Town Crier Report
The Los Altos Library has scheduled two presentations as part of its 2013 "Beneath the Surface" summer reading program.
• 7 p.m. July 3 in the Program Room of the main library: "Twins from Brazil: Joseph Mengele, 'Angel of Death.'" Evergreen College biology instructor Mark Okuda will explore how Adolf Hitler hired Dr. Mengele for the sole purpose of studying the biology of twinning.
Hitler's hope was that through human experimentation on twins, Mengele could create an Aryan race that would dominate the world.
When World War II ended, Mengele sought refuge in South America. Is it coincidence that a small town in Brazil has, to this day, an unusually high rate of twin births?
• 7:30 p.m. Aug. 21 in the Program Room of the main library: "Lost Santa Clara County."
Photographer and writer Josh Marcotte will share his photos and discuss exploring the forgotten, documenting to preserve for the future, and how his experiences growing up in Silicon Valley inspire his ongoing photo project, "Lost San Jose."
Admission is free and open to the public.
The Los Altos main library is located at 13 S. San Antonio Road.
For more information, call 948-7683 or visit www.sccl.org.

Item # NIN0028
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 29" Mountain Bike Wheels - Tubeless in stock than that.View Similar Products
Industry Nine Trail Carbon 24H 29in Wheelset $0.00
Industry Nine manufacturers two Trail Carbon 29in Wheelsets, one with 32 spokes and one with 24 spokes. If you charge aggressive lines, or you're a bit of a bruiser, opt for the 32 hole. However, if you're light on your feet and pick quintessential XC lines, then I9's 2:1-laced 24H Trail Carbon will provide you with 29-inches of fast spinning, lightweight bliss.
This wheelset shares all of the advancements of the Trail line, including the redesigned Torch hubs. The big news, however, is that carbon is finally joining I9's aluminum disco. These aren't just any run-of-the-mill epoxy and fiber-reinforced rings. Instead, Industry 9 enlisted help from the composite wizards at Reynolds Cycling. This means that these 29mm-wide outer, and 21mm inner, tubeless rims have Reynolds' encompassing MR5 technology. It focuses on five key elements -- spoke face, nipple bed, tire channel, rim sidewall, and hook bead -- in order to optimize resin chemistry and carbon layup for the structural and loads of each component. Long story short, this technology mated to I9's deft spoke and hub interface is a force to be reckoned with.
Instead of steel spokes, I9's wheels use 7075 aluminum. The spokes are straight pull, and they have roughly a 25% greater cross section then comparable 14/15 double butted steel spokes. In other words, these spokes have a stronger tensile strength. Also, on traditional spokes, threads are rolled, not cut. This adds to strength, but creates a stress riser where the thread channel is narrower than the diameter of spoke itself.
Industry Nine, however, doesn't need to roll its threads. Instead, they're created during the machining process, but cut so that the thread channel is the same as the spokes diameter. The threads themselves are actually larger than the spoke for a strong interface with the hub. That brings to light another defining feature of these wheels -- there are no nipples.
The spokes thread directly into hub, making nipples as useful on I9 wheels as they are on male mammals. The spokes also use a standard 15-gauge wrench and conventional truing methods in order to service. The Torch hubs that these spokes thread into are a fresh redesign of the groundbreaking Industry 9 hubs.
Accordingly, Industry Nine's new Torch hubs feature two sets of three pawls phased three degrees from each other. This preserves the 120 points of contact and lightning-quick three degrees engagement that distinguished Industry Nine, only now, the pawls have two teeth instead of three. Along with that, a changed cantilever angle and shallower tooth profile on the hardened drive ring reduce drag for a less-restricted freehub. Remarkably, it has the same holding power. And, that's not all that I9 did to improve the Torch.
Its engineers removed the large bearing between the freehub body and shell, opting for smaller bearings directly between the body and shell. The reduced bearing size means less seal surface area that, along with a new silicone lip design, significantly reduces mechanical drag. The freehub is also now easier to remove for cleaning/lubing, and like before, the springs and pawls are captured. So, you won't be scrambling on a floor looking for small parts.
The Industry Nine Trail Carbon 24H 29in wheelset is available with a 15mm front and 142x12mm rear thru-axle compatibility. With end caps that are available separately, however, they're able to be converted to fit 20, 135, and 100mm standards. This wheelset is also tubeless-ready and comes in the color Black.

Anyone rolling these hoops yet ? Comparison...
Anyone rolling these hoops yet ? Comparison to ENVE ? Looking at carbon on the next all mountain build .
Here's my take: I9 hubs are solid. I've been on DT for years but there's a very good chance my next hub purchase will be I9. I9 buys their carbon rims from Reynolds--super quality without the bigger-name price tag that goes with ENVEs. ENVE rims are amazing. They're also overbuilt. Whether that matters to you is up to you. They're solid, market-competitive light, and I've had a few friends even complain that the 29AMs are maybe a little *too* stiff. ENVE manufactures right here in Ogden, Utah. I personally think that is rad and now that the new M series wheels are hookless, ENVE is on my short list. Reynolds is also based here in Utah but I do not believe they manufacture here. Reynolds offers a 2 year no questions asked replacement policy for $250. I have a number of friends who ride and race hard and I'm close to a number of local shop staff. I have heard all positive reviews for the Reynolds products. ENVE doesn't officially offer that no questions kind of coverage but I've had friends crack ENVEs (DH racing) and ENVE has taken care of them. All that said, my personal opinion is that you will be happy whichever way you go. I've been on my first set of carbon wheels for several months now on my Yeti SB-95c, I'm a big guy, I ride hard on the downs, and I've been extremely happy with the carbon. I ran FLOW EXs all last year and was completely satisfied with those. When I took my bike out the first time on carbon, it was like a brand new bike. Carbon wheels are the best upgrade you can give yourself, so make your bike happy and get some!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Fueled by a dramatic 28-2 run, NC State erased an 18-point second half deficit to outlast Texas at the buzzer 77-74 Monday at the TicketCity Legends Classic.
After a miserable 9-of-26 shooting performance in the first half, the Wolfpack rebounded to the tune of 11-of-18 shooting from the field and a 3-of-5 showing from three-point range.
Three Wolfpack players finished in double figures with C.J. Leslie leading the way thanks to a 17 point outing, going 4-of-8 and 9-of-16 from the line. Scott Wood made his return from an ankle injury suffered against Princeton in thrilling fashion, scoring 16. Lorenzo Brown scored 11 and lead the Pack with four assists.
Texas charged out of the locker room to snag a 53-38 lead early in the second half. At the 18:26 mark, the Longhorns had graduated the lead to 65-47. Then, what might have been NC State's last gasp turned into a mammoth 28-2 run to take command of the game.
The turning point came with 8:16 to go, as Texas head coach was whistled for a technical foul for arguing a call. The Pack made four free throws to trim the Longhorn lead to 65-56. NC State's next two possessions produced three-pointers from Wood and Alex Johnson to make it 66-62 with 7:00 on the clock.
The Wolfpack tied it up at 67-67, then ran away from the Longhorns, claiming a 75-67 lead to finish the incredible run with 2:58 remaining.
Texas snapped out of its daze coming out of the media timeout, but the Longhorns' effort would not suffice. Julien Lewis's buzzer beater three fell short to send the Pack home with a win 77-74.
The Longhorns seized control of the game early with a run to stretch a 9-8 lead to 20-13 in the first 10 minutes. NC State clawed back into the game with a pair of strong finishes by C.J. Williams and Jordan Vandenberg on consecutive plays. Williams capped the tail end of a give-and-go from the wing with an emphatic righthanded dunk over a Texas defender. Vandenberg crashed the offensive boards on the next play with a tip-in to cut the score to 20-17.
The Wolfpack's run ended there, though, as Texas sustained its lead behind 15-of-26 first half shooting. By the 4:23 mark, the Longhorns owned their largest lead of the game at 43-30 and held a 43-33 advantage heading to the locker room.

Harrison, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Omar Cummings played the hero for the
second consecutive match as his goal late in the first period of extra time
stood up as the winner on Wednesday, sending the Houston Dynamo to the Eastern
Conference finals with a 2-1 second leg and 4-3 aggregate victory over Red
Bull New York.
Houston fell behind by a pair of goals at BBVA Compass Stadium last Sunday
before Cummings goal in stoppage time saved a 2-2 draw for the club, and the
former MLS Cup champion did it again in dramatic fashion at Red Bull Arena.
New York, the East top seed and Supporters' Shield winners were on the front
foot early on and struck for the first goal of the night in the 23rd minute as
Lloyd Sam swung a nice cross into the penalty area that was spilled by Houston
goalkeeper Tally Hall and Bradley Wright-Phillips was there to tap it home.
But the resilient Dynamo equalized 12 minutes later through some good fortune
as Red Bulls defender Ibrahim Sekagya gave the ball away with a poor pass that
was intercepted in the box by Brad Davis, who ripped it past NY goalkeeper
Luis Robles.
The Red Bulls had much more of the ball in the second half as the pressed
looking for a winner, but they couldn't manage it in regulation time and it
cost them in the first extra period when Kofi Sarkodie whipped a ball into the
box that was headed on by Cam Weaver and it fell to Cummings at the near post.
New York had one final golden opportunity with free kick from just outside the
area in the final few minutes. Theirry Henry lined up his strike, but smashed
it well over the ball and the Dynamo held on for the stunning victory.
Houston advances to its third consecutive Eastern Conference finals with the
result and will face either Sporting Kansas City or the New England Revolution
on Saturday.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits fell last week, but the level of applications remains too high to signal a pickup in hiring.
The Labor Department says weekly applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 386,000. That's down from 392,000 the previous week, which was revised up. The four-week average was mostly unchanged at 386,750.
Applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. When applications rise above 375,000, it generally means that hiring isn't strong enough to rapidly lower the unemployment rate.
Applications fell steadily over the winter, and monthly job gains soared. But since then applications have edged up and hiring has slowed, raising concerns about the recovery.

Installing Ray Barton-Supplied 440 Short-Block - Suspended Action For TractionWritten by on June 1, 2004 Shaving 60-Foot Times With Shocks, Tires, And Springs
When we last tried to strip test our '67 R/T with its new Barton 493 wedge ("Long-Armed Wedge," June and July '03 issues), it was difficult to hook up on launch. The 60-foot times varied from 1.63 to 1.73 seconds, depending on how fast the accelerator was depressed (slowly walking it out worked best). We almost broke into the 10-second zone with a traction-limited 11.01 quarter-mile e.t. A few tenths were lost due to tire spin in the first 10-200 feet, and we finally realized it was time to update the old B-Body's suspension system. the Barton engine was out of the car for some "other workings," and we wanted to strip test a couple suspension components. We decided to install a Ray Barton-supplied 440 short-block, as well as the top end from our 493.
Springs And Things
Confident that the Coronet's chassis was solid and stiff enough due to a solid body and subframe connectors, the first step was to focus on the leaf springs. The original 426/440-type leaf springs with five leafs on each side-aided by the one half-leaf on the left side and the two half-leafs on the right-were no longer tough enough to handle the torque of the stroked wedge, so we ordered a set of custom replacement springs from Eaton Detroit Spring. These springs featured an extra leaf (now six) on each side to reduce spring wrap-up. After installation, the ride, handling, and traction (it didn't spin or go sideways as much punching it at 50 mph) was noticeably better on the backroads.
Shocking Facts
Further suspension tuning consisted of a trackside install of QA1's 12-way adjustable shocks. These shocks allowed the driver to switch between a softer "street" feel, and a help-plant-you-in-the-seat "strip" feel. We'll let you know what settings worked for us.
The antiquated shock setup on our Dodge was typical of the dual-purpose car built between the 60s and the 80s. Up front, weak standard-duty shocks were used for fast front-end rise to aid weight transfer to the rear tires. These wimpy front shocks were scary on the highway, with excessive dive and rise tendencies from the dips on the road. In other words, the R/T suffered with poor road-holding ability.
Out back, air shocks supported an even stance, with 40 psi in each shock when driven on the street. For the track, 10 psi in the left shock and 20 psi in the right shock provided a good launch-that is, until they faced the torque monster. The compression (bump) and extension rates (damping force) of the outdated air shocks hurt both the e.t.'s and the handling.
With 12 adjustment settings, the QA1s offer a wide range of bump and rebound control. These adjustable wonders lower e.t.'s, aid in high-speed stability, and reduce body lean by leaps and bounds.
Hook And Roll
Most of us Moparites realize that various wheel and tire weights can make a difference in street or strip performance. The sprung and unsprung weight of different wheel and tire combos (heavy to light, light to heavy) change how a suspension reacts. That's a good reason to have shocks that can be adjusted to meet the changes in suspension reaction.
Lighter wheels and tires have been providing lower e.t.'s and more mph for many years. We've been running heavy, stock wheels for too long. To perform this test of springs, shocks, wheels, and tires, we needed to gather up the appropriate parts. We had a set 15x8 1/2-inch Weld Draglites left over from a previous car, as well as a swap-meet set of 15x7-inch Centerline Auto Drags, and a couple15x7 cop-car wheels that would handle an old-versus-new 28x9 Hoosier slick test. To further combat our traction woes, Hoosier's new 30x9R-15 radial slicks (28s are not available yet) will be put to the test. These radial-design tires offer less rolling resistance, along with the advantage of a larger footprint. The radial slicks were mounted on the 15x8 1/2 Weld Draglites (the wider rim spreads the tread more evenly for better tire-contact patch).
Out on the street and at the shows, the factory chrome Road Wheels and Coker Classic Redline radials maintained that '60s look. The redline radials also provide a better ride and handling over bias-ply tires. For years, we have wanted to strip test a set of front skinnies (lightweight front wheels and tires), so we scored a set of 3 1/2x15-inch Weld Draglites at the Englishtown fall swap meet. Hoosier provided us with a set of their lightweight, low rolling resistant front runners (26x4.5-15, PN 18105). Now we were fully armed, ready, and waiting for our test day at E-Town.
It was October and the track would be closing soon for the winter. [Oh, I miss those days. -Ed.]
Traction Reaction
Our goal was to show how easy it is to improve the hook at the track, through simple bolt-ons and adjustments. Our test day was a windy fall day at the famous E-Town facility. For a baseline, the well-used 28x9 Hoosier slicks mounted on the cop-car wheels were placed on the R/T. Air-shock pressure was set, the pinion snubber was adjusted, and the front sway bar was disconnected. On our first pass, the R/T made its quickest 60-foot time ever with a 1.61. Thanks to the new leaf springs, a quick stomp on the gas pedal was now possible. A backup run produced an identical 60-foot with an 11.21 e.t. Now, consistent bite was established.
Next, the five-year-old 28x9 Hoosiers were swapped for a set of the same size meats on the lighter Centerline rims. After the swap, we were still spinning slightly (hazing) and thought the new rubber would have added grip. After four passes-two back to back and two with a half-hour cooldown-the ol' Dodge ran four 1.61 60-foots, with a pair of 11.20s and 11.21s. We definitely needed new sneakers-the tread wear indicators were hardly visible on the old slicks!
We didn't realize the added traction from the new slicks and lighter wheels reduced sprung weight. Lighter wheels make it easier for a tire to unload and lose surface contact. We were sure a quick change to the QA1 rear shocks would help plant the tires. The air shocks were tossed, and we set our initial shock setting on the QA1s knob three clicks clockwise. Right out of the hole, the scoreboard read a 1.58 60-foot. We were on a good pass and turned an 11.18 e.t. A hot-lap backup pass produced an identical 1.58 60-foot, but at a slower 11.19 e.t.
After the usual half-hour cooldown, the adjustment knobs were turned three more clicks for additional shock stiffness. It worked-we hooked up with a 1.56 60-foot and an 11.16 quarter-mile e.t. A half-hour-later a backup run showed us dead-nuts-consistent traction with another 1.56 60-foot. We wanted to try a few more clicks, but were running out of track time.
We moved to the front shocks and set them at zero to retain the worn-out, old-school feature (easy to extend, hard to compress). Unfortunately, we didn't realize any gains in e.t. The old front shocks were trick units (easy to compress and extend), but they were dangerous on the road (excessive dive, rise, and body lean). For the ride home, we set the adjustment at six clicks (compression firmness doesn't change; extension stiffens with each increase in the adjustment) and the Coronet never held the road better in its 25 years of ownership.
Up front, we were anxious to try out the new set of front skinnies. The lightweight wheel and tire combo weighed 58 pounds less than the Road Wheels with redlines. We added 8 gallons of pump gas in an attempt to keep the test weight fair. The reduced rotational weight and rolling resistance scored us a similar 60-foot time, but a much quicker 11.06 at 122.08 mph. Trap speed increased by 1.25 mph from the previous best of the day. High-speed stability improved thanks to the Hoosier front-runners and QA1 shocks.
We've been hearing from the stock eliminator and bracket racers about the new radial slicks lowering e.t.'s and increasing mph. On the first run with the radial slicks, we saw an improvement with a 1.55 60-foot and an 11.01 e.t. at 122.57 mph. That's an impressive gain considering we lost the effective gear ratio going to the taller tires. The engine speed through the traps was 300 rpm lower at 6,000. A hot lap returned an 11.02 at 122.39 mph. Man, that's cooking with a pump-gas 440.
Slick Tips
oosier recommends running 4-5 psi more inflation pressure in the radials than for the setting on bias-ply slicks. Since there was 14 psi in the bias plys, 18 psi was put in the radials. All the slicks tested received an 8-second burnout before launch (it was in the low 50s all day). On days with warmer ambient air and track temps, a 4-6 second burnout is sufficient to warm the tires.
To extend the life of your slicks, proper storage includes an environment without ultraviolet light, electric motors, and a temperature change of no more than 30 degrees. The 5-year-old Hoosiers have lasted more than 150 runs of strip testing. Try to do the shortest burnout required that will allow the tire to hook, and you'll be surprised at how much longer the slicks last.
In nearly 10 years of strip testing and bracket racing, Hoosier slicks have provided us with consistent bite. The radial slicks and front-runners proved less rolling resistance will reduce friction, parasitic drag, and e.t's. Many racing Mopar owners enjoy the big difference that the right shocks make in the performance of their cars. QA1's easy-to-reach adjustment dial gives you the opportunity to have the best of both worlds. They assisted the R/T in becoming a better road and track machine.

We were determined to fit the 30x9 radial slicks within the wheelwells. The 28x9 slicks had no clearance issues since they were mounted on 15x7-inch rims with 4-inch backspacing. The 15x8 1/2-inch rims have 4 1/2-inch backspacing. We carefully hammered to stretch the inner wheelhouse back 1/2 inch. After the "tweaking," we went for a ride to make sure there was no tire rubbing. There was enough clearance, as seen here at the front of the wheel opening. These 30.0/9.0 slicks (PN 18210) have an actual diameter of 29.5 inches and a tread width of nearly 10 inches. T indicates the circumference, also known as the rollout of the tire. C07 is the rubber compound of the tire, which is a little softer than the D05 of the 28-inch slicks.These shock extensions on the old air shocks are a sorry sight on a street or show car. They took away from the stock look we try to maintain with the R/T. The extension prevents the shock from possibly bottoming out, if fully extended, which could unload the tires and cause spinning.The 15-year-old, standard-duty front shocks exhibited too easy compression and extension. Wimpy shocks promote poor handling and excessive body lean around turns in the road. The QA1 R-Series (PN RC1538P) feature a fixed, firm compression, with a wide range of rebound (extension) settings to control the rate of front-end rise. Front adjustable shocks allow changing the rate of weight transfer to the rear tires to improve traction. QA1's 12-way adjustable shocks were installed and presented a nice, cool, clean look. These polished aluminum shocks extend an inch more than the air shocks-no more ugly shock extensions. Adjustable shocks allow fine-tuning to different conditions and wheel/tire weights. The dial was set at three clicks for the first pass-traction increased and e.t.'s dropped. At a total of six clicks, we gained even more hook and the 60-foot times dropped to 1.56.We installed all four shocks with the adjustment dial facing the inside of the car to allow for easy-to-reach adjustments. At the strip, the front shocks were set at zero; for the ride home, six clicks provided a vast improvement in road handling. Adjustable shocks can be fine-tuned to your combination, helping the tires maintain contact to the pavement.The 15x3 1/2-15 Weld Draglite and 26x4.5-15 Hoosier front runner is 29 pounds lighter than the Road Wheels with the 215/75R-14 Coker Classic radial redline tires. We added 8 gallons of pump gas to make up for the weight reduction of 58 pounds. Afterward, the lighter wheel/tire combo still improved the e.t. and trap speed by a full tenth and 1.25 mph. Except for quicker e.t's and more mph from less weight and rolling resistance, front skinnies are not recommended for highway use.In the end, the 30-inch radial slicks netted the best bite, e.t's, and mph, as compared to the bias-ply 28-inch slicks. Most stock eliminator racers use the Hoosier radial slicks for consistency, quickness, and winning races. Now when the R/T is headed for the track, Hoosier's radial slicks and front runners will be in the trunk!
