While celebrity sightings may give the Upper East Side a glitzy veneer, the neighborhood's real appeal comes from its refined character. Home to some of the City's premier museums, restaurants and shops, as well as the stately mansions and townhouses where New York's elite have lived for generations, the Upper East Side exudes elegance on every block. Museum Mile—which runs along Fifth Avenue between East 82nd and East 105th Streets—boasts eight world-class cultural institutions, while Madison Avenue teems with the biggest names in haute couture, both in designer boutiques and at resale shops that sell high-end brands at nearly half-price. When hunger strikes, choose from down-home diners, posh sushi spots and nearly every other conceivable option you might imagine. Have a sweet tooth? There are few things better than enjoying one of the City's best ice cream sundaes after a day surrounded by exotic wildlife at Manhattan's only zoo. Elegant, historic and occasionally cutting edge, the Upper East Side is a neighborhood that offers something for everyone.

Need a board that will hang with you while you're showing up the boys? The fine folks at Signal Snowboards had precisely that in mind when they built the Vita Rocker women's snowboard. This true twin park destroyer handles rails, jumps, and the occasional tree run without flinching. It has a quick handling feel thanks to the tight radius sidecut, and the triax fiberglass and carbon stringers max out the response. Don't let anything stand in your way.
The Vita Rocker runs Signal's Three Stage Park Rocker profile. That means that it's flat between the bindings, and it has a five degree rocker outside the bindings. It results in a catch-free ride, that's planted and powerful when you get it on edge. The twin shape opens up unlimited switch variations. Triaxial fiberglass in the topsheet and the core work in conjunction with carbon stringers, increasing the response for a snappy ride. The freestyle friendly medium flex blends pressability with enough stiffness for solid landings. A sintered Durasurf base slides fast and holds a bunch of wax. Plus, like all Signal boards, it's built in the US by people who shred.

I'm using Zimbra Desktop 7.2.1 as the default email client on a Dell running Windows 7. If I click a mailto link on a web page, ZD opens a new email and populates the address field with the email address. Great! This same function doesn't work when clicking on a link to multiple email addresses.
We're using a calendar website to register people for classes. For administrative users, it shows the list of the email addresses of all registered attendees. At the bottom of the page is a link that, in Thunderbird, opens a new email and populates the address field will all the email addresses of those registered. In ZD, clicking the link opens a new email message, but the address field is left blank.
I can export the registration list to Excel. I've selected a range of cells and tried to copy/paste the email addresses into ZD. No luck. It doesn't add any email addresses. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround that's better than copying and pasting each individual address? Thanks.

Kinston police say the State Bureau of Investigation is looking into a shooting this weekend that involved one of their own.
Police say Wilfred Jones, who was off-duty, accidentally shot his 18-year-old daughter.
The shooting happened Saturday night just before 8:00 p.m. at 102-D Wingate Drive, that's the officer's home.
Shot was Raven Jones of Charlotte. She's in fair condition at Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
Public Safety Director Bill Johnson says the officer thought he was home alone and went to investigate a suspicious noise he believed to be an intruder. Johnson says the officer encountered the victim in the home, was startled and accidentally fired one shot. Jones was hit in the lower leg.
Police say their initial investigation showed no malice from either the officer or the victim.
Johnson says the officer has been with the department for over ten years and was placed today on administrative leave while the SBI investigates.
Previous Story

Cyclones Fall to Sacramento State, 4-0
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Iowa State's softball team suffered its second loss of the season Saturday at the SCU Softball Field as the Cyclones fell to Sacramento State, 4-0. The defeat drops ISU to 10-2 on the season while Sacramento State improved to 4-5.
Keys to the Game
Iowa State missed an opportunity to assert its control early, as the Cyclones loaded the bases with two outs, but could not convert as Lexi Slater flew out to end the inning.
The Hornets got on the board in the third inning when Paige Castro scored on a two-out error at first base during Sasha Margulies at-bat. The fifth inning saw Sacramento State add another run to its total as Alexis Martinez doubled down the right-field line to drive in one run to make it 2-0.
The top of the sixth marked the breakthrough inning for Sacramento State. However, it looked like after allowing two baserunners to start the inning, ISU would get out of it without allowing anything after recording two straight outs. However, Paige Martin drove in a run to make it 3-0 and Martinez added a second run the next batter to make it the final score of 4-0.
Iowa State had opportunities throughout the game, but could not convert any of them and finished the game with nine left on base.
Player of the Game
Brittany Gomez. The sophomore finished the game 2-of-4 from the plate, the only Cyclone with more than one hit on the afternoon, and chipped in a stolen base.
With Aly Cappaert seeing her school-record 18-game hit streak come to an end, it opens the door for Gomez to take a shot at it. She is currently riding a 12-game hitting streak covering all of ISU's games this season. She is the only player in the Big 12 to record a hit in all of her teams' games this year.
On Deck
Iowa State closes out the Marriott Bronco Invitational with a doubleheader Sunday. The Cyclones will take on hosts Santa Clara at noon CST, 10 a.m. in California. Iowa State will immediately follow that with a game against San Diego, who ISU defeated 5-4 earlier Saturday.

Healthcare industry to expand and reconfigure their supply chains
August 08, 2011
Healthcare executives in the U.S., Europe and Asia are seeing both risks and opportunities as the pace of change in the healthcare industry accelerates globally, according to a new UPS survey.
Facing unprecedented demands to reduce costs, keep up with fast-changing regulatory requirements and ramp up innovation in the age of patent expirations and increased competition, executives are making investment plans and looking to protect their intellectual property and market share.
A focus on intellectual property protection emerged as a global healthcare industry priority, cited by 43 percent of respondents as a top business concern. Patent expirations also ranked high among pharmaceutical and biotech company concerns, cited by 43 percent of these respondents.
The No. 1 business concern for healthcare executives globally is change in healthcare legislation/reform, cited by 52 percent of respondents, followed by increasing regulations at 48 percent. Among U.S. companies, concerns around reform have risen since 2010, with 60 percent reporting concern in 2011 versus 55 percent last year. Changes in healthcare legislation/reform also was cited as the greatest perceived barrier to providing quality and affordable healthcare by 47 percent of respondents.
The annual survey, known as the UPS "Pain in the (Supply) Chain" survey, questioned senior-level healthcare supply chain executives at pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Now in its fourth year, the survey was conducted by TNS and expanded globally for the first time in 2011.
Amid industry pressures and change, healthcare executives also are focused on investing in their supply chains to increase their competitiveness. Technology investments ranked as the No. 1 strategy, with 86 percent of respondents reporting that they would invest in new technologies over the next three to five years. Tapping into new global markets was the second top strategy for increasing competitiveness, with 81 percent of respondents reporting plans to expand in new areas in the next three to five years.
"Change is the only constant in healthcare today and it is happening on a global scale, driven by factors such as cost, regulatory pressures and global expansion," said Bill Hook, vice president, global strategy, UPS Healthcare Logistics. "Going forward, companies have to find new ways to innovate and adapt to rapid market changes and this is where the supply chain plays a pivotal role. UPS helps healthcare companies leverage logistics to do things such as expand into new markets faster, implement greater supply chain efficiencies and improve the customer experience, leading to competitive advantages."
The release of this survey comes on the heels of a UPS announcement that it will soon be rolling out a new reverse logistics service geared towards high-end products for shippers in the healthcare sector.
"It should come as no surprise that reverse logistics will play a significant strategic role in supply chain development," said Michael Blumberg, a certified management consultant and president of the Blumberg Advisory Group.
"This also reflects the emphasis placed on risk mitigation here."

Can you guys give me some guidlines on what trespass fees for north east Wyoming run. What is average, what is cheap, and what is outrageous? My buddy and our fathers are heading out in 2013 and having secured access to private land without the hassle of public access seems like a good idea.

What does that mean, exactly? Blog bopping as opposed to blog hopping? Well, in my little world, a blog hop is where you have an event set up ahead of time. You send your readers to a list of linked blogs that everyone in the hop has agreed upon. A blog bop is a little term that I came up with for what I do for posts like I have for you today. I start at one designer's blog, find something inspiring, then I bop from her blog to the blog of someone else in her blog roll. I keep on bipping and bopping from blog to blog until I find as much inspiration as I can.
Get it? Blog Bop.
I've got some inspiring lovelies for you today, friends. Enjoy!
Which is your favorite and why? Leave a comment by midnight EST on Sunday, January 9 and I'll draw one random winner to receive something yummy from my moxie magical prize drawer!
I love a-bippin' and a-boppin'!

A former hospice worker in Laurel was sentenced to prison for felony exploitation of a vulnerable person.
Attorney General Jim Hood's office says Lena M. Hinson, 50, of Laurel, pleaded guilty to one count of felony embezzlement and one count of felony exploitation of a vulnerable person.
Hinson was sentenced to serve five years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, with four suspended. She was immediately taken into custody to begin serving her one year sentence.
Hinson is to serve two years post release supervision and must begin paying restitution to the victim in the amount of $3,552.47, court costs of $382.50, $1,000 to Crime Victim's Compensation fund and $1,000 to reimburse Jones County for the use of the public defender.
Hinson will also be required to participate in the Eighteenth Circuit Court Community Service Program.
Officials say at the time the crimes were committed, Hinson worked at Seyah Hospice of Laurel as a clerk. The Attorney General's investigation showed that Hinson added herself as a co-signor of the savings account of one of the patients served by the Hospice.
Then, for a period of about eight months, Hinson withdrew $3,552.47 from the victim's savings account and converted the funds for her own use.

ATLANTA -- The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has issued a flood watch now in effect for portions of north and most of central Georgia, mainly along and south of a Cedartown to Alpharetta to Athens line.
This goes through 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
* Moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall will continue to spread across parts of north and most of central Georgia through early Wednesday. Since Sunday afternoon between one and three inches of rainfall has already fallen across much of the area.
An additional 2 to 4 inches is possible across the watch area through Wednesday morning. Locally higher amounts are likely as showers continue to train across the same areas.
* Recent rainfall has made the soil very moist and the additional rainfall amounts could lead to flooding along rivers, small streams and creeks. Also storm drains and ditches may become clogged causing additional street flooding especially along low lying flood prone areas.

SHADYSIDE - Shadyside's fast-and-furious comeback came up one point short Friday night, and so ended an undefeated season and an 10-game home winning streak in first-round OHSAA playoff encounters.
The fourth-seeded Tigers (10-1) dropped a heartbreaking, 19-18, decision to No. 5 Berlin Center Western Reserve (9-2) in a Division VI, Region 21 quarterfinal tournament on the Fleming Field turf.
''We had our chance,'' a teary-eyed Shadyside coach Mark Holenka said outside a saddened locker room. ''When you fall behind the 8- ball - the kids still fought until the end.
Article Photos
Shadyside's Ian Baker stiff arms a Western Reserve defender.
That last drive - the big holding call. They gave everything they could.''
Trailing 19-3 entering the final quarter, Shadyside put together a pair of lightning-quick touchdown drives to pull to within 19-16 with 6:08 remaining to play.
Senior quarterback Chase Kinemond fired a pair of scoring strikes to classmate Ian Baker that covered 55 yards on the Tigers' first play from scrimmage in the fourth quarter. Forced to go for 2 because of the 10-point difference, the pass failed.
A holding penalty on the Blue Devils and a big defensive play by Scott Hammond forced the visitors to punt.
Starting at its 41, Shadyside needed five plays to reach the end zone as Kinemond found sophomore Austin Dorris open down the middle of the field from 46 yards out. Cody Hudson's PAT made it 19-16. A key 11-yard pass from Kinemond to Hudson on fourth-and-8 kept the drive alive.
Just when the Tigers faithful were brought to their feet, they were quickly seated when Western Reserve's do-everything Tim Cooper broke loose for a 58-yard jaunt that took the ball to the Shadyside 1.
A sneak attempt by quarterback Nick Allison failed on first down, but he broke the plane on the next attempt. However, an aiding-the-quarterback infraction against the Blue Devils moved them back 5 yards. Cooper fumbled on the next carry and Shadyside's Chris Littell grabbed it out of midair at the Tigers 5.
Kinemond connected with Hudson for 16 yards on first down and, after two incompletions, the same duo teamed for 10 on third-and-10 to move the chains. Three straight unsuccessful plays set up a fourth-and-9, but Kinemond was on target to Hammond for 14 yards to the Tigers 49.
Kinemond then rifled a 21-yard strike to Hammond down the middle of the field and the Tigers were in business at the Western Reserve 30. Kinemond and Hudson clicked again, this time for 11 yards as the ball was at the 19.
Kinemond rolled right on second-and-10 and found Baker at the 4 for an apparent first-and-goal, but a holding call 7 yards deep in the end zone moved the Tigers back to their 37 with 1:17 on the clock.
Kinemond and Hudson once again teamed for 10 yards, but a fourth-down pass for Dorris in the end zone fell to the turf.
The Tigers had all three of their first downs left, but opted not to take one prior to the final play.
Shadyside eventually used those stoppages in play to force the Blue Devils into a fourth-and-long in the waning seconds, but Allison took the snap from center and pitched back to Cooper who eluded Shadyside defenders until Kinemond knocked him out of the end zone for a safety with 5.7 showing, making it 19-18. Alex Quinn fair caught the ensuing free kick to save precious seconds, but Cooper picked off Kinemond's hail mary as time expired.
''I never want to have to come here and play again,'' an elated Western Reserve coach Andrew Hake said. ''That was too much for me.
''(Shadyside) is a great Division VI program. We had a chance to put things away, but to their credit, they kept coming back.''
The Blue Devils grabbed the early lead as Cooper fielded the opening kickoff at his 5. Fifteen seconds later, Cooper was in the end zone following a 95-yard runback. Parker Clegg's PAT made it 7-0.
After it was 14-0 Shadyside got on the scoreboard before the quarter ended as Hudson booted a 23-yard field goal for a 13-3 score.
The setback came in the 51st game for the Tigers' senior class, which included a state championship appearance as sophomores.
''That's a great class. There is just so much heart and so much determination with those kids. They're good athletes. They love the game and they live and die by it. In the weight room, they love each other.
''It's the group that I started with four years ago, and it's the toughest one to say goodbye to because they're the first to be here four years with me.''
Kinemond finished his career with a 17-for-36 outing for 311 yards and the two touchdowns. Hudson landed nine catches for 114 yards, while Dorris caught four for 102. Hammond had a pair of key snags.

We must do more worldwide to fight terrorism
(Page 2 of 2)
After the fall of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, the Salafists and the Muslim Brotherhood, two sects of Islamic fundamentalists, quickly rose to power. Shortly after the U.S. liberated Iraq, the country began to slowly fall into the hands of the Shia sects.
These are not good signs for the U.S. Look at Syria, a country consumed by a civil war. With every passing day, President Bashar al-Assad is the focus of more pressure from the international community to relinquish his power. But when Assad does leave, who do you think will fill that power gap? Islamic fundamentalists.
Even though he's a good friend of mine, I must say that Sen. John McCain was wrong when he recently visited Syria. This is no time for America to become involved in another conflict and be responsible for supplies, and eventually troops, costing taxpayers billions and jeopardizing the lives of our precious young men and women.
The instability throughout the region, and the power vacuum that the Syrian conflict has created, have already allowed Al Qaeda into the mix. There remains the distinct possibility that if we do choose to provide Syrian revolutionists with weapons today, those same weapons will be used against us tomorrow.
We must do more to stop wars before they start.
On another topic, I want to congratulate all of the Long Islanders who recently graduated from college, and those from around the country who earned degrees from our fine local institutions.
Graduates, you are now preparing to enter the real world. Brace yourselves. Unfortunately, graduation also means paying back student loans. And the rising cost of college tuition means many more students will be seeking student loans. It will take many graduates almost an entire lifetime to pay off their loans.
In July, the interest on student loans is set to double. For the sake of the future of our country, I urge our nation's leaders to vote that bill down. We must have a long-term fix for the student loan process, or the American dream may be over for many young people before it even starts.

Hello there! You're very welcome and it's great hearing from you, too! :) Aww, I'm sorry you didn't get to see our boys, but hopefully they'll be back soon and you'll get to rock out with them and their new songs! :) I didn't get to see them either on their tour last summer because they were going to be playing a show close to where I live but they had to cancel due to Jacoby's illness. In all honesty I wasn't too bummed (although I really wanted to go! lol) because I was glad that Jacoby took some time to take care of himself and get better. I miss them a lot but it's ok. :) Maybe we'll get to rock out with them soon! Aww, I hope you're doing ok and I wish you all the very best. Yeah, I'm doing well, thanks. :) Thanks and many hugs and PRoach love to you too, dear! :)

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Danilo Gallinari led five Denver players in
double figures with 19 points, as the Nuggets spoiled Kevin Love's season
debut by sneaking away with a 101-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves
at Target Center on Wednesday.
Gallinari shot 6-of-11 from the floor and grabbed six rebounds, while Andre
Iguodala netted 18 to go with nine boards. Ty Lawson added 18 and nine assists
for the Nuggets, who have won two straight on the heels of a three-game slide.
Jordan Hamilton and Andre Miller donated 12 and 11 points, respectively, in
the triumph.
Love saw game action for the first time this season after breaking his right
hand while working out in the preseason. The All-Star big man did not miss a
beat, scoring a game-high 34 points to go with 14 rebounds for Minnesota,
which lost for the fourth time in five tries.
J.J. Barea netted 12 points and Nikola Pekovic scored 10 in defeat.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA9) -- It has been more than a month since a City of Manassas Police officer was critically injured by a distracted driver.
Friends, family and colleagues gathered for a fundraiser for Officer Heather Munsterman. The community also came together to push the message to stop texting while driving.
Officer Heather Munsterman is an eight-year veteran on the police force.
Now she's confined to a wheel chair and at home, mainly in a hospital bed.
It has been a tough road ever since a driver hit her while she was conducting a traffic stop last month on Centreville Road.
"It's hard. Something as simple as getting water and sitting up in my hospital bed, takes a long time for me to do," she said.
Twenty-five-year-old Alexander M. Bacon from Herndon faces multiple charges for the incident.
"It could have been one of us, or it could have been one of our friends doing the same thing," Officer Jeremiah Wiess of Alexandria police said.
They're all trying to bring more awareness to the dangers of texting and driving.
"Unfortunately I had to be hit in order for this to become such a big issue. But it is an issue. The slow down and move over campaign which a lot of people don't know about and texting and driving. It could've been me it could've been my son. I'm so happy the community is coming together," Munsterman said.
Heather suffered broken bones, internal injuries and a concussion, but she knows it could have been much worse.
"I could've lost my legs and the good Lord had it, I might not be here," she said.
Officer Munsterman can't wait to get back to patroling the streets, but she has many more months of physical therapy before she can walk on her own.
The next court appearance for the driver, Alexander Bacon, is September 9.

I say: rock that boat. It's a lifeboat; maybe the people in it will wake up and start rowing.
There have undoubtedly been stable periods in human history, but you and your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents never lived through one, and neither will any children or grandchildren you may have or come to have. Everything has been changing continuously, profoundly -- from the role of women to the nature of agriculture. For the past couple of hundred years, change has been accelerating in both magnificent and nightmarish ways.
We're really starting to see a shift in consciousness and best practices among major non-profits like hospitals and universities.

Petroleum is a miracle substance.

Attorney sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for defrauding clients
Newscast Media MIAMI—In an elaborate scheme that was hatched to defraud clients
who had trusted him, the once-famous Florida attorney, Anthony Livoti Jr. was
sentenced to 10 years in a federal prison for his misconduct, and was ordered to pay
restitution of $826 million to his victims.
In his khaki jail scrubs, the shackled Livoti made a plea to the court for leniency.
"I had a life that was always filled with joy, now I have a life filled with sadness," the
attorney told the court. "Judge, I am a life worth saving," he implored the judge.
Investors were also among his victims, in a scheme that defrauded senior citizens and
patients suffering from terminal illnesses. Investors were told they would reap a
profit once the patients and seniors died, and their policies sold.
Once the attorney received the money, his clients were never disbursed the funds
they were promised.
"I lost my way and I wish I could go back and change it," Livoti said, apologizing to
the victims for what he called the "terrible wrong" he committed.
Cases where greedy attorneys defraud or over-bill their clients thousands of dollars
are not unusual, and the FBI is among one of the several federal agencies that
aggressively pursues attorneys engaged in client fraud. (pop-up)
"When a lawyer, an officer of the court, defrauds clients, it's a serious crime—and a
heinous breach of trust," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Edward J. Hanko. "The FBI
is committed to investigating financial schemes at every level and working with our
partners to hold white-collar crooks accountable," he added, referring to another
FBI-investigated case where lawyers defrauded eight of their clients. (pop-up)
During Livoti's sentencing, federal prosecutors said Livoti abused his position as an
attorney and violated the public trust.

Great Ride, Great Value
By Lawstudent
from Riverside, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Flat Bar Road Bike:
I really enjoy this bike, I'm 5'10" with 30" inseam, so short in the leg and long in the torso and the 21" frame fits me great and in my opinion is the correct size. Out of the box, only the brakes needed tuning/attention. I had hard shifts on the front derailleur but after a little cable stretch it settled down. Components that I found uncomfortable where the pedals (too small), seat (too hard), and grips (too chunky). Otherwise, its performs great as a basic bike for exercise and getting around town on streets and paths.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

More Value than cost
By Jim
from Silver Lake, Ohio
About Me Avid Cyclist
I was looking for something to ride with the family, and perhaps a little casual travel. This fit the bill. Easy to assemble, easy to ride, easy to upgrade. I'm 5'11", and ordered the 21 inch frame. The 19" frame was probably the correct size. This is a good all around bicycle, better than big box store quality, lower price.
Nice bargain bike
By Casual Kate
from NC mountains
I got this bike to ride around town. It's great, I can just grab a helmet and go. I replaced the very uncomfortable seat and put on a rack. It's nothing fancy, but a good ride and fabulous for the price.

great value
from akron Ohio
See all my reviews
Bought this for my townie/local rail trails... enjoyed it so much I added rack and pedals and traveled to Cumberland Md. Great ride... I can see a few components will get upgraded as they wear, but a great performing bike overall. Assembly was about an hour, all is well, just ordered a 2nd for wife.
No printed instructions
By A commuter
from Boulder CO
About Me Commuter
Despite a full page about pedal installation and numerous other pamphlets w/ unimportant documentation there are no printed assembly instructions. It took several customer service interactions before anyone would admit this. Just open the box and go straight to youtube.
Nice bike, great value, just enjoy it!!
Ok, no more changing shoes, shorts, shirt... I put it together, clamped the leg of my jeans, grabbed a helmet and went for a test ride...20 miles of smiles. I think I'm going to ride this to DC next spring... 500 miles from Akron. Upgrades will occur naturally, but this is a good solid value... commute, coffee, grocery runs, simple, inexpensive, "runabout"...
Would purchase again
By First time kevin
from Greenville sc
I'm riding a few times a week for 30 min each ride. Replaced the seat and gears could be a little more smooth. Handlebar is comfortable. Bike is light and easy to assemble. Color is nice. Exactly what I was looking for and arrived quick. Will buy from nashbar again.

Very Difficult Build
By compcyclist
from USA
I was very enthusiastic about receiving, building and riding this bike. The reviews on this site (perhaps not surprisingly) are top notch. The price is right. The value seemed unsurpassed. I was absolutely positively anticipating receiving this bike. Unboxing. The bike is very well packaged and protected. The shipping box is very stiff, protected by a large number of staples AND the top of the box is glued shut as well. There is abundant paper and foam protection for all of the frame tubes. All of the components are likewise, well protected: cranks, handlebars, stem and wheels. Protective tabs are included to protect the wheels and to keep them upright within the box instead of just rattling around. There was very minimal damage, from what I could tell. Only the bottom of the seatpost showed any significant scratching. Otherwise the bike appears to be near perfect cosmetically after shipment. Frame and Esthetics:The paint is generally very nice. It is not perfect. There are a few minor lumps and uneven spots in the paint. Keep in mind this is a sub $300 bike so, some minor imperfections are hardly a major issue. Weld quality is generally good; the only noticeable departure from an ideal stack of dimes look is at the rear dropouts: the welds look quite sloppy there. Components:The 8 speed Shimano Acera is shifting perfectly. Both the front and rear shifting are spot on. The shift quality is really quite stellar: astonishingly good for the price, and impressive at any price. This is "on the stand" shifting, but I expect shifting to be excellent on actual rides based on what I'm seeing so far. No adjustment was required here. The V brakes and brake levers are unbranded. The stopping quality seems to be pretty darn good. Having said that, the build quality and tolerances are pretty embarrassing. The right rear lever has an internal pulley and it is rubbing on the inside of the casing. The front left brake lever works properly, but the front v brake cannot be adjusted properly, i.e., centered. The stem is also of sketchy quality. It required multiple attempts to get the stem adjusted properly. However, it does have a 4 bolt design--a nice touch at this price. One very nice touch, which I did not expect at this price point, are the ergonomic grips. Wheels:The rim walls are machined, and make for a nice braking surface. The tires measure at exactly 28 mm, exactly as listed. They seem pretty grippy as well. The major problem is how out of true they are. Both wheels are both vertically and laterally out of true. I haven't gotten around to truing them yet. While I don't expect the truing to take very long (at least not laterally), the extent to which they are out of true, and the lack of vertical true, is disappointing. Another problem: I slide the front reflector upward to adjust the position and it literally broke in half with just a bit of movement. Overall, I expect this bike to be an excellent value. Unfortunately, there are just too many components which are of questionable quality. Adjustment is a bit of a bear, and the amount of work required to get everything working properly is far higher than I had expected. I expect to call nashbar to see if some of I can adjust some of these components properly, but I am not optimistic about the brakes or headset. If you are used to building up or adjusting nicer bikes with nicer components, this bike could really test your patience. If you are willing to invest significantly more time to building and adjusting a lower quality and lower priced bike and are willing to trade off time for price, then you should consider this bike. Overall:If I had to do it all over again, I would have simply handed this bike over to a pro mechanic and not bothered attempting this build myself. I think I learned quite a bit about bikes in building up an inexpensive bike but it was much tougher getting this bike to perform properly than I could have anticipated.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Looking for information in hunting whitetails in the Bighorn Basin. There appears to be a lot of areas. Most of the riverbottom appears to be private, as usual. For those of you with actual first hand experience there, what area(s) would you recommend based on:
1. Accessable land (riverbottom that is either public or WIA/HMA)
2. Quantity of whitetails
3. Quality of whitetails
I've done quite a bit of research on this subject already, but there's nothing like actually being there, which I haven't yet. A map can't show whitetail existence or density in various drainages, nor can it show if a paticular section of WIA has decent agricultural land and holds whitetails. I would appreciate any insight you can provide.

Making an Impact on Physical Fitness
Ryan Bade enjoyed sports and other physical activities before a 2005 Jet Ski accident changed his life forever. The 28-year-old suffered a traumatic brain injury and underwent extensive physical therapy after the accident.
Seven years later, he continues to recover and does so partly through Sanford's Physical Therapy Department's Accessible Wellness Program, which was started with a grant from the Sanford Health Foundation's Unrestricted Fund. Dr. Julie Johnson, Department of Pediatrics Associate Professor at Sanford School of Medicine and Medical Director for Rehabilitation Services at Children's Care Hospital and School, recommended the program to Bade, and he was one of the first members to enroll.
"Before, I was so physically active, but then I was injured and I thought this is no way to live," he said. "This makes me feel normal – whatever normal is."
For 23 years, Kevin Horner, PT, MLT, saw people like Bade who had a physical disability and benefitted from physical therapy. Once progress plateaued or insurance was exhausted, they didn't have an appropriate facility that met their needs. Fitness center facilities in the region are not designed, equipped for or staffed with qualified trainers to give the proper instruction to these specific patients.
"These patients need ongoing physical exercise or activity to help maintain joint range of motion, strength and function," he said.
The Accessible Wellness Program started in March 2012 and is located in the Van Demark Building. The exercise equipment is accessible to someone in a wheelchair, but also accommodates the able-bodied person. Certified Inclusion Fitness Trainers are available at various times throughout the week.
The Commission on Accreditation of Rehab Facilities (CARF) recently accredited Sanford's Inpatient Rehab facility for three years and recognized the Accessible Wellness Program as an exemplary practice. "It shows how unique our program is," Horner said.
Five spinal cord injury patients participated in the pilot program from September to December 2009. Horner measured their range of motion, strength and lung function, and administered a quality of life questionnaire before and after the pilot program. All participants showed improvements in varying degrees of objective measurements as well as in their quality of life survey over the eight-week period.
Horner said he originally hoped to enroll 50 members within the first year of the program, but has 46 after nine months with limited marketing or advertising. He already wants to expand the facility.
"It has been so successful," he said. "We can have 10 to 15 people participating at a time in a room that is 1,000 square feet.
Gifts to the Unrestricted Fund allow programs like Accessible Wellness to fulfill an important need for the community. To make a gift, visit foundation.sanfordhealth.org

Edelbrock's Thunder Series AVS Carburetor - Tweaking An Edelbrock AVSWritten by on February 1, 2004 Tuning For Horsepower And Fuel Economy- It Can Be Done
A few months ago, we brought you an introduction to the new Thunder Series AVS carb from Edelbrock. We installed the carb on our 340-equipped '69 Dart and were more than happy with the performance. We had previously been running a race-calibrated, mechanical-secondary carb. It worked great for wide-open throttle response and power, but at cruise it sucked down fuel like booze going down in a Girls Gone Wild video. In fact, when making the high-speed, 200-mile trek from the shop to Westech's dyno facility, a fuel stop was required little more than halfway there. With the old carb, we estimated the fuel economy at an appalling 7-8 mpg. With the swap to the AVS carb, we noticed the fuel economy was up, while the WOT performance was still good. The balance of performance and economy seemed good with Edelbrock's factory calibration. However, we were intrigued with the idea of seeing just how well we could dial in the combination with a sharp dyno-tune.
As we made our way to Westech, it was clear the AVS had improved the fuel efficiency of the Dart. With the out-of-the-box calibration, mileage had improved to 12.5 mpg-not exactly thrifty, but it was an increase of 66 percent. It was a gain that made us take notice with our racy 340 engine. Our plan was to tune the carb for maximum performance and economy for our 340 engine's combination.
Longtime readers will remember the solid-lifter 340 in our Dart as one of our dyno mules. Ultimately, we had seen 477 hp on the engine dyno with this mill. However, it was detuned from the hottest test configuration as installed in the Dart. Without the race headers and carb spacer, we had dynoed it at 458 hp at the flywheel. We also removed the 1.6:1-ratio rockers, which were worth 15 hp in a similar solid-cammed 360 and were running through a full 2.5-inch exhaust with quiet, reverse-flow mufflers. All in all, the engine was detuned a good 50-60 hp from its top engine-dyno configuration. Still, the 340 was strong and responsive, and we expected it to turn in a healthy performance on the chassis dyno.
We tuned and tweaked on the dyno and found 10 rear-wheel horsepower, a decent gain for only jetting changes. More importantly, the carb was dialed in to our engine combination, gaining more than a full ratio point in air/fuel calibration before we left. This means more power from less fuel, from a carb that was already well balanced in this regard. We tuned the full-throttle performance, but we also took the time to dial in the cruise mixture for maximum efficiency and driveability-after all, this is a street car. We were happy with the improved mileage we found over our old carb, but we were downright thrilled when our return run from Westech netted us 16.6 mpg. And we didn't baby it. The accompanying photos show what we accomplished on Westech's dyno. The calibration and jetting numbers are always going to be unique to the specific engine combo in question, so don't be tempted to just drop in the same jets, rods, and springs as we did. The lesson here is a good dyno tune can work wonders in terms of getting the most out of a combination.

One of our main objectives was to dial in the jetting of our new AVS carb. With 800 cfm at hand, it offers significant airflow for our 340. Even with the factory calibration, the output seemed strong, and fuel economy was up significantly over our previous race-prepped carb. For a dual-purpose balance of performance and economy, it seems to be a very good carb.Our first dyno pulls were made to obtain a baseline output level, and then to check the air/fuel ratio as recorded on the dyno. Power stood at 315 rear-wheel horsepower at 5,800 rpm.Crunching the numbers, it was clear the engine was rich at WOT, indicating a leaner mixture could improve WOT output. We had an average recorded A/F ratio of 11.04:1 at WOT. It was time to go into the carb for a jet change. The plan was to tune the WOT mixture with jetting changes, and then check and dial in the part-throttle cruise-mixture, which we hoped could be accomplished with only metering-rod changes.A lot of guys find changing jets in this style of carburetor a little intimidating, but getting into the AVS for a jet change isn't all that complicated. The top air horn needs to be removed to access the jets. Begin by unhooking the fuel line.The various linkages, which run between the main body and the top air horn, need to be disconnected. This includes the accelerator-pump linkage, shown here. Just remove the small clip and the rod is disconnected.The metering rods should also come out before removing the top air horn. loosen or remove the screws to get the cover plate out of the way, and out the rods come.The air horn should lift cleanly off the carb body. If it sticks, a few light taps with a plastic mallet will usually free it. The gaskets can typically be reused many times, though we recommend a good drenching with WD-40 before reassembly.
On the secondary side, we replaced the original 407 jets with a pair of 392s. On the primary side, the factory 413 jets were replaced with leaner 404s. With the jetting change, power went up to 325 at the wheel, while the average air/fuel ratio leaned out to 12.21:1. More power and less fuel-we like that.Satisfied with the WOT mixture, we turned our attention to the part-throttle and cruise response. With the leaner jets, we now developed a lean condition at part-throttle.To fatten up the cruise mixture, while keeping the WOT setting unchanged, we needed a metering rod with the same power step diameter at the tip, while having a thinner part-throttle step higher up the rod. We settled on a 6547 rod, which measures .065 inch on the cruise step and .047 inch on the power step. The stock rods were 6847s, which measure .068 and .047 inch on the cruise and power steps, respectively.The rod change brought the cruise mixture to where it needed to be, showing a 13.5:1 air/fuel ratio. While it cruised cleanly, there was a lean hole when applying throttle from cruise to power, or tip-in.We figured that getting the rods to switch from the cruise to power position sooner would allow the mixture to fatten up a little sooner as tip-in throttle is applied. Changing the metering-rod springs will affect how early the rods will move from cruise to the power position. Metering-rod springs are rated by the vacuum level at which they will move the metering rods to the power step. Stiffer springs will lift the metering rods to the power position sooner. We used the silver springs, which move the rods to power mode at 8 inches of vacuum.

fight-of-the-week feature, we hope to get readers excited for this weekend's DREAM.14 event, which airs live on HDNet.
To do so, we look back at March's DREAM.13 event and a lightweight bout between Katsunori Kikuno and Kuniyoshi Hironaka.
Each Japanese fighter entered the bout with knockouts in his three most recent victories.
Not surprisingly, someone's KO streak continued at DREAM.13.

Last night's episode (episode 9) of Project Runway challenged the five remaining All Star designers to fashion illuminated garments. The results unfortunately were rather disappointing. This group of talented designers weren't able to move past the "Burning Man" or "Tron" aesthetic.
Which leads me to the following question: Is illuminated fashion just a gimmick?

Don't think it's so wrong just to illuminate, but more how you do it. But then again: I guess I'm obligated to say so, since my ongoing project is a purse with incorporated LEDs =)
LEDs are the "Hello World" of wearable tech — that's why you see so many projects that simply incorporate light. Once individuals develop more programming skills and understanding of the potential of wearable tech, projects do eventually move past just illuminated garments. At this time, those projects may be far and few in between but it may take years to really develop the skills or find the right people to work with to move beyond the "light." It's happening....slowly...but it's happening.
Just my two cents:
Although I don't really feel that there is a "right" and a "wrong" way to do illuminated fashion (or anything in fashion, for that matter), I do feel that the addition of LEDs and other light-emitting components to garments is being marketed as the face of wearable tech when it is, more often than not, used merely for decorative purposes. This is such a beautiful field, full of very rich possibilities for exploration besides these obvious - and rather shallow, if you pardon my sincerity - employments of technology. I'm not arguing against projects that make use of LEDs, but I've been asking myself why do so many "wearable tech" projects make use of technology merely as embellishment. Of course illuminated fashion has a very obvious commercial potential - it's showy and has that modern, cutting-edge aura - but I've seen one too many academic projects that take the same approach and merely skim the surface of wearable tech.
the few episodes i've seen of this series have impressed me with the participants ability to whip up incredible creations in such a short timeframe. these outfits are all fantastic performance wear, but it seems like none of them were brave enough to tone it right down. and, yes, props to the show for choosing such a challenging theme!
Such timing. Sergio this is exactly what we were discussing last night at the e-textile workspace in Holland (http://www.v2.nl/lab/projects/e-textile-workspace) - a report will be posted later. We had about 9 fashion students over from the Arnhem fashion masters. I think the agreement was that basically a good designer will be able to make it work, but subtlety is key. An interesting point somebody made that evening is that when you make a collection you really have to think it through and a showpiece may not always work with the other pieces. It may just be the lack of experience with designing light together with the timeframe that made these results so flat. Syuzi, I totally agree that it's really great that the show took on this challenge. If I didn't just talk to so many fashion-peoples I would have been concerned that it would confirm preconceptions but I think that in the last few years some beautiful pieces have been made with light and those who've chosen to stay updated know about it and know that it can be done well. In any case, I think this is progress. More regular people will now understand the concept of light in garments. :)
Well said Sergio. Ultimately I feel like the designers were uncomfortable and hence resorted to visual tropes found in pop culture. I am pretty Impressed with Project Runway to bring on this particular challenge though :)
I completely agree with you, unfortunately it was rather disappointing. I feel that illuminated garments have the stigma of being "gimmicky" do to the purpose and who is behind creating it. If it is done right with taste and a good purpose other than a carnival parade, of course illuminated garments can have much more use and power when used in stages for performances than everyday life. Light was created for the night life. Lights should be used to enhance the piece like embroidery does. There is always a fine line between fashion and costume when it comes to technology and the designer who creates needs to be able to determine that difference and set themselves apart to the direction that they are going for.

Atlanta GEICO Race Report
Posted by: lori on Sep 02, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
HAMPTON, Ga. (September 1, 2013) - Over the course of a 36-race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, certain tracks are bound to cause teams and drivers many headaches and sleepless nights. Atlanta Motor Speedway happened to be that track for Casey Mears and the GEICO Racing team over the Labor Day weekend. While the team got off to a slow start when the green flag got the race underway on Sunday evening, the Germain Racing team remained intent on recording a strong finish. After 325-laps of hard racing, Mears and his No. 13 GEICO Ford Fusion did just that when they crossed the finish line in the 22nd position, marking their 16th top-25 finish of the 2013 season.
After struggling to find speed during the opening practice session on Friday afternoon, Mears laid down a solid lap in qualifying to claim the 19th starting position for Sunday's Advocare 500. A brief rain shower passed through the Hampton, Georgia, area prior to driver introductions, but the southern humidity quickly soaked up any precipitation and the green flag waved on time under clear skies. By lap five, Mears radioed the GEICO Ford Fusion was loose on entry and plowed through the corner. The competition caution on lap 26 could not have come any sooner as the California native was pushed back to the 40th position in the opening segment. Crew chief Bootie Barker brought his driver to pit road for four tires, fuel, wedge adjustment, and left front damage repair sustained from brief contact with a fellow competitor on the opening lap.
Within 10 laps, Mears broke into the top-30 as the adjustments "definitely helped" but the GEICO Ford still needed additional rear grip. Over the next 100 laps, Barker and the Germain Racing team took every opportunity to work on the handling as numerous cautions were displayed. Despite the valiant effort, the handling still escaped Mears and as a long caution-free run continued, teams were forced to make green flag pit stops. On lap 168, Barker called Mears to pit road for fresh rubber, fuel, and an air pressure adjustment. However, Mears was unable to slow down the GEICO Ford fast enough prior to entering pit road, resulting in a pass-thru penalty for speeding.
The yellow flag was displayed on lap 193 and Barker instructed Mears to stay out and take the wave around, regaining one lap to the leaders. With the restart on lap 199, the veteran driver took off from the 31st position. A quick caution was displayed seven laps later, allowing Mears to come to pit road for four tires, fuel, air pressure and track bar adjustments to help the loose handling condition. While in 29th-place on the restart, the No. 13 GEICO Ford rapidly moved up three positions to 26th, the highest of all cars on his lap. Mears successfully ran in this spot through another cycle of green flag pit stops and when a caution was displayed on lap 288, the team decided to take the wave around once again.
On the lap 294 restart, Mears moved into the 24th position and never looked back. Over the final 30 laps, the GEICO Ford passed two additional cars, allowing Mears to cross the finish line in 22nd-place.
"Man, I'm not sure what we need to do with this place," said Mears, after the 500-mile event. "We kept working on the GEICO Ford throughout the entire race, but we could never find the handling we needed. The car was the best at the end right there but we still have some work to do before we come back next year. The guys never gave up and kept making adjustments to try and make it better. It's on to the next one though. I'm looking forward to Richmond next week and seeing a lot of GEICO people. It should be a good weekend."
The next event on the Sprint Cup Series schedule is the Federated Auto Parts 400 on Saturday, September 7th at Richmond International Raceway. The race starts at 7 PM ET, with live coverage provided by ABC beginning with its pre-race show at 6:30PM ET. Motor Racing Network (MRN) will also have the live radio broadcast.

I am about to retire from my overseas job, and the wife isn't real excited about living in the Arctic again. I used to live in Barrow and would really really like to live in the Nome or Kotzebue, but the wife won't have it.
My question goes with subsistance permits for the National Park, can you use horses to access the goats and sheep in the park? She wants to own horses again and that doesn't work in the arctic.

Last week I pulled from every corner of my arsenal of clothing to combat the weather; ski jacket, shorts, rain gear, flip-flops and the requisite fleece, so I know that spring is here. Spring is an exciting time for us here at the Bend Pub. Cinder Cone Red is released, we begin our planning of the Sagebrush Classic, our annual golf tournament and feast benefiting the Deschutes Children's Foundation, and we start gearing up for the summer tourist season. We also put out our spring and summer menu.
Menu changes are an exciting part of the job of being a Chef, especially a spring menu. We get to think about summer crops with beautiful, fresh produce and vegetables. Trips to the farmer's market offer weekly inspiration and the summer fishing season will soon begin. Menu Changes are often challenging too. It is a delicate balance of offering something new without removing a favorite. Someone's feelings are always hurt.
We start the process with an "anything is possible" brainstorming session. Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like one of Paul's (our brewer at the Pub) specialty brews.
I found the Pilsner to be especially inspiring this year. The blend of Czech and German Malts add a complexity to this pilsners' crisp and refreshing flavor. The flavors sing summer to me. Halfway through my pint and my mind is on the lawn at Les Schwab enjoying a Sunday concert. A salad would be great with this beer.
How about a spinach salad? That sounds good. What kind of dressing? Something light I think. Let's make a Green Lakes Vinaigrette, nice and aromatic, and light on the palate. Green Lakes Organic Ale is perfect for this, the blend of organic malts, barley and seven types of hops add a sense of the high Cascades. What else? Pondhopper cheese, the semi-soft goat cheese from Tumalo Farms. This cheese's rich flavor will help balance the sharpness of the vinaigrette. And for a final touch, candied Munich Malts. One of the staples of our beers coated with sugar and spice and roasted in our bakery. Now that's a salad for summer.
We go through this process several times creating dishes inspired by summer and the bounty of ingredients available in Oregon. Some of the other dishes we have created include a Trout Po' boy with Idaho trout and house pickled vegetables, fresh fish tacos on Wednesday, and marbled cheesecake with vanilla beans and hibiscus. Pair these with Paul's amazing brews including his newest creation; La Fleur, a beer made without the use of hops, the bitterness comes from an amazing assortment of herbs including mugwort and milkthistle, and you have a selection that should satisfy for summer.

Beginners (2011)
Beginners SynopsisFrom writer/director Mike Mills comes a comedy/drama about how deeply funny and transformative life can be, even at its most serious moments. Beginners imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Golden Globe Award nominee Ewan McGregor).
Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent of Inglourious Basterds) only months after his father Hal (Academy Award nominee Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who - following 44 years of marriage - came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life.
The upheavals of Hal's new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they'd ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.

- Roger Federer in Kooyong after hearing a few Brit bookies have chosen Andy Murray as the overall fave to take the Aussie Open crown
Boy, Fed is def on a role with these quotes right now.
Color me shocked too. I love Andy's chances to do well, even make the final, after his stunning start to the year. But THE fave over the likes of Rafa, Fed, + defending champ Nole? No way, no how.
But really you can't blame the Brits for being a little extra excited right now, can you?
UPDATE: Andy's response to Fed's bewilderment...
It doesn't make any difference whether people expect you to win or not. It doesn't change my mentality.
You get used to being expected to win matches when you play at Wimbledon. The pressure that comes with that gets you used to these situations.
The older you get, the more matches you play, you realise what the bookies are saying doesn't make any difference once you get on court, whether they are saying good things or bad things. You just get on with your job.And on playing Fed now:
The more you play against him the less fearful you are, you're not scared to win the match. If you're young and you play against the top guys, once you get close to winning you get nervous. Now when I play him I don't get nervous and if I play my best tennis I can beat him.
OOHHH - this is gonna be GOOD!!!
