17 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch
Exact gauges is not imporant to this project.
kfb (knit into front and then back)
An increase worked as follows:
Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st.
You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.
K2, p2 Rib (worked in rnds)
Rnd 1: *K2, p2; rep from * around.
Rnd 2: K the knit sts and p the purl sts.
Rep Rnd 2 for K2, p2 Rib.
Hat is worked in rnds from top of hat (crown) downwards.
Increases (kfb) are worked evenly spaced in every other rnd to shape Hat.
Beg at crown, cast on 6 sts onto 1 double pointed needle.
Row 1: *Kfb; rep from * to end of row - 12 sts at the end of this rnd.
Divide sts onto 3 needles.
Place marker for beg of rnd.
Join by working the first st on left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle and being careful not to twist sts.
Rnd 1: Knit.

Looking for information on Unit 10 in New Mexico... We are hunting the archery hunt Sept 10 - 22.
I have heard from several that it can be a good unit with big bulls just not many of them. I have been pouring over the quads and it's not a small area. I have heard that Post Offic Flats is good place to start but just wondering if anyone has any other areas that they prefer. Mount Sedgewick? Lookout Mountain? Mckenzie ridge? Mcgaffey, etc?
Also wondering if anyone has hunted out of Rice Park and if access was good to Lookout.....
If anyone out there has info please let me know.

* Ana is everywhere, for better or worse. The wannabe Serbian sex-kitten posed for the cover, some inside shots, and video of Sport & Style L'Equipe while cutesy Anando were spotted getting more smiley + smoochy back in Mallorca.
Boytoy Nando, though, lost his exo match against compatriot Tommy Robredo at the Master-Copa del Ray 6-1, 5-7, 4-6 while Ana looked on...I suspect more actual practicing might be in order here. Check out more images from Sport & Style L'Equipe at Women's Tennis Blog.
* Frenchie Cedric Pioline defeated Pete Sampras then saved a match point against Greg Rusedski 6-7(4), 7-6(3), 11-9 (Champions' Tie Break) on his way to his first BlackRock Masters title. "I took my chances and it worked," said Cedric.
* A newly single Serena Williams is out of the Hopman Cup citing a hamstring injury she sustained during the WTA Championships last month. ReRe will be replaced by a resurfacing Meghann Shaughnessy. Wait - didn't she withdraw from the Championships with a stomach muscle pull? Whatever. She'd be better off "spraining" her ankle - at least she could still surf on that one.
* Good news for Lleyton Hewitt: the Aussie hothead is still recovering from hip surgery but is set to return at the Hopman Cup. I guess all the Aussie eyes will be on Lleyton and whether he can make it out of the mixed-team tourney unscathed - stay tuned.
* Kei Nishokori seems to be having an off-season romance of his own with table tennis star Ai Fukuhara but still managed to win the Celebrity Invitational in the Bahamas. Note to Nando: you may want to give Kei a call...just sayin'!
* Perry Rogers, a long-time friend and former agent to Andre Agassi and former ATP board member, filed a lawsuit on Friday against Andre's wife, Steffi Graf (still can't call her Stefanie.) The German tennis star allegedly owes Perry and his Alliance Sports Management Company $50,000 for service rendered and that "Graf agreed to pay Rogers' company 15 percent of all business ventures once an investment account had reached $20 million. Graf stopped paying Rogers' after the October split with Agassi, the suit claims."
Agassi released the following statement: "Several weeks ago, my agent, manager and lawyer, Perry Rogers, and I decided to sever our business relationship. At that time, I had every hope that we could do so amicably and in the interest of maintaining our long-term friendship.
"As a result, I am both saddened and disappointed to learn that Perry has filed a lawsuit, and sadder still that he has sued my wife, Stefanie.
"I remain hopeful that we will be able to resolve our business issues with minimal damage to our families and mutual friends."
What a sad turnaround for these two long-time friends. Another example of why mixing business + friendship isn't always the best option.

you know, that cover picture of ana's trumps all, and i mean ALL, of shrieka's fashion mag photos all year. imagine if ana was more popular in the US, she'll literally be everywhere. anyway, thanks for posting that lovely photo of hers, it made my day.ReplyDelete
I personally think that Masha's alomost-to-see-booty picture, with her legs exposed trumps all of pics of tennis pin-ups EVER!Ana is standardly beautiful, in every editorial she makes, but I don't see anything special on this cover-pic.And when Masha comes back it will be again it's all about Masha.But Ana has developed in many senses, and it's great to have both of them looking great, and conquering the tennis court and magazines.I love competition, it only brings more excitment to the tour!And more interesting stuff to follow.ReplyDelete
To me, Ana is def. takes a MUCH better pictures then Sharapova..ReplyDelete
but now days it seems these players
take more pictures then they play tennis!!!
Tennis is what got them to this stardom on the first place...GET BACK TO TENNIS, wannabe "models"..please!
I like both of them but I like Ana more when she isn't trying to "vamp" it up like Shrieka, though she's not great at doing it either. But she can pull of the long-legged shots, showing more skin, sexpot, etc.ReplyDelete
I like the cover of Ana and I think she could be good at doing this kind of editorial - high fashion, pretty, elegant. But not FHM, not Maxim, and definitely not doing booty shots. It really doesn't come natural to her.
But I agree with irene.s: I can't wait to see them where they really belong - ON COURT!

Ana is absolutely gorgeous. Loved the pics from the mag.ReplyDelete

rich @ 9:41PM: i hope team ivanovic is reading your blog too so that they would be more "picky" (to borrow your words, make sure it's high fashion, pretty and elegant) when it comes to choosing photoshoots for ana. she really looks great in those sport&style pics.ReplyDelete
i just had a funny thought about JJ while i was looking at ana's sport&style pics. i mean, i could just imagine her calling her agent (and her mom) demanding that she gets the same editorial too. of course, a lot of glitters should be used otherwise JJ's "personality" would not come out, LOL.

Phoenix-- Score another big gain for player safety in the NFL. Players can no longer deliver forcible blows by lowering their heads and leading with the crown of their helmets as this week's most hotly debated proposal at the league meetings passed by a 31-1 vote Wednesday.
Also, the infamous "Tuck Rule'' was eliminated while a new coach's challenge rule dubbed "The Jim Schwartz Rule" was accepted.
But the hot-button topic was the crown-of-the-helmet rule since coaches are concerned how it will be officiated. However safety ruled the day as the new measure protects not only running backs but all players, including defenders who will be called for a 15-yard penalty if they lower their helmet to use it as a weapon.
"Somebody reminded me last night that Jim Brown never lowered his head when running,'' Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney said. "So it can be done.
"There was a lot of discussion. I wouldn't characterize it as contentious."
Competition committee co-chairman Jeff Fisher explained that by banning use of the helmet as a battering ram, the intent is to bring the shoulder back into the game.
"It does reinforce the importance of getting out in front of this before something tragic happens," New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "The Commissioner wants this issue resolved. The verbiage from the medical people who spoke to us in Indianapolis was not pretty (about potential inuries)."
Rooney said the Steelers were the lone team to vote against dumping the "Tuck Rule." The New England Patriots, who notably benefited from the obscure rule in a 2001 divisional playoff game when referee Walt Coleman enforced it to overturn an apparent fourth-quarter fumble by quarterback Tom Brady against the Oakland Raiders famous, abstained.
As for the Schwartz rule, it stems from last Thanksgiving's challenge flag faux pas by the Detroit Lions head coach. Allowing replay review even if a coach impermissibly challenges a play that's automatically reviewed, as Schwartz did when he red-flagged Houston Texans running back Justin Forstett's 81-yard scoring run after it was apparent Forsett was down by contact early in the play. But because all scoring plays are reviewed, Schwartz was not allowed to throw the red flag; yet by so doing, he negated use of replay, and Forsett's score stood in a game the Lions eventually lost in overtime.
Competition committee chairman Rich McKay called the rule "an anomaly,'' adding the proposal will ensure the play is reviewed and the right call is made.

The Program
The Graduate Program in the Department of Immunology & Microbial Disease has an emphasis on research training in infectious disease pathogenesis and protection. The emergence of new pathogens, the increasing development of drug resistance and the threat of bioterrorism have combined to create an increased demand for investigations into the mechanisms of disease and the body's ability to combat these diseases. Specialized areas within the Department of Immunology & Microbial Disease include immunology, microbial and viral pathogenesis, and molecular mechanisms responsible for human disease.
Of particular note is the collaborative nature of the Research and Training Program within the Department of Immunology and Microbial Disease. Our Program brings together a diverse group of investigators, including 18 faculty members and numerous predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees, with particular expertise in the fields of microbiology, cell biology, and immunology. The research and training effort, currently supported by over $30M in federal funding, concentrates on exploring in an integrated fashion, host-pathogen interactions during infections with various microbes, including influenza virus, Category A biothreats such as Francisella tularensis and Yersinia pestis, HIV-1, Lyme disease, MRSA and pneumococcal infections. The Program is supported by a state-of-the-art Biosafety Level 3 laboratory and animal facility that allows the use of highly virulent human pathogens in mice and is one of only a few such facilities in the region. The Program also includes Core Immunology and Microbiology Laboratories that provide modern instrumentation and technical support for cell analysis and sorting, confocal microscopy, immunohistology, and immune cytokine quantitation. The results of our studies will ultimately be used to evaluate new vaccination strategies and vaccine candidates against human microbial pathogens.
Program Information
We offer Doctor of Philosophy and Masters of Science degrees with a concentration in Immunology & Microbial Disease. The program is research-oriented with strengths in the areas of immunology, bacterial and viral pathogenesis, and control of cell growth. The small faculty to student ratio facilitates one-on-one interactions on a daily basis both in the laboratory and the classroom. Many of our research activities involve collaborations with investigators in other research programs within the College, as well as other universities, research institutions, and corporations. Our research is supported by grants from the National Institute of Health, Department of Defense, American Lung Association, and the biotechnology industry.
The Course of Study
The bulk of the didactic work required for the Training Program is completed by the end of the student's first year. The Training Program in Immunology & Microbial Disease begins with a common Fall semester program required of all first year graduate students. This includes core courses in Molecular Cell Biology and Biochemistry that provide foundation material in a literature-based format for more advanced study in the Spring semester and in subsequent years. During the first semester, students within this training program also take a biomedical sciences colloquium that involves in-depth discussions of current literature that are complementary to the lectures in molecular cell biology and biochemistry.
During the Spring semester Immunology & Microbial Disease students take an introductory course in immunology and a course in microbial disease. They also participate in weekly meetings in which students present recent research papers and the results of their ongoing thesis work. In the second and third years, students select a series of advanced courses consistent with their thesis research.
In addition to formal coursework, major emphasis during the first year is placed on completing a minimum of 3 research rotations in preceptor laboratories. Each rotation is 10 to 11 weeks in length and is graded on a P/F basis. The purpose of these rotations is to 1) identify a dissertation advisor and 2) gain exposure to various techniques used in immunology and microbial disease research. The rotation period is not intended to be a techniques course; rather, it is specifically designed to teach the scientific method by providing each student with a project that can be completed within the allotted time period.
Students typically require five to six years to complete the requirements to obtain a Ph.D. degree. Students enrolled in the M.S. program normally take two to three years to complete their requirements.
Students also participate in the weekly Visiting Scientist Lecture Series, the AMC Biodefense Seminar Series, and the annual Upstate Immunology Conference held at The Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, New York. Nationally and internationally recognized scientists spend time at these events meeting one-on-one with the students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty within the Immunology and Microbial Disease Training Program. This provides trainees the opportunity to discuss their research with experts within the field and to foster scientific interactions at the national level.
An advantage of our Program is that all Ph.D. students are supported by either institutional funds or funds derived from faculty research grants. Current support includes a tuition waiver, health insurance and a research stipend ($24,000 per year).
The School
Albany Medical College, one of the nation's oldest private medical schools, prides itself in offering an intimate, collegial environment that fosters humane values and genuine learning. The institution was founded in 1839 with an initial enrollment of 57 medical students. Over 80 faculty in four research centers are engaged in the training of Masters and Doctoral candidates in basic science fields. Our well-equipped laboratories contain the most modern research tools and equipment for both faculty and students. As expressed in the Act of Incorporation, the primary mission of Albany Medical College is to "promote medical science and instruction in the departments of learning connected therewith." Albany Medical College continues to pursue excellence in the education of health care personnel, research in the basic and clinical medical sciences, and services to the community.

A father and son who were found murdered Saturday night in Carteret County were laid to rest this weekend.
Albert Correll, and his father, Duane, were killed at their home on Taylor Farm Road. The 20-year-old died at the scene, while his father passed away later at Carteret General Hospital.
Funerals for the two were held at Munden Funeral Home in Morehead City on Saturday morning at 11 a.m.
So far deputies say no arrests have been made in the double homicide.
Previous Story
A mother made a plea this afternoon for someone to come forward with information that will solve her son's murder.
Albert Correll, and his father, Duane, were found shot Saturday night at their home on Carteret County. The 20-year-old died at the scene, while his father passed away later at Carteret General Hospital.
Gina Correll appeared at an afternoon news conference at the Sheriff's Office, pleading for help in finding her son's killer. The Corrells had divorced some 15 years ago.
Deputies say they are looking at whether a recent altercation involving the son had anything to do with the murders. The two had left Walmart in Beaufort at 9:24 p.m. and then the 911 call came in at 9:49 p.m.
Captain Jason Wank says they believe the murderer(s) may have been waiting at the home as the father and son never made it inside.
Wank says it looks like whoever did this was going after the son, while the father may have known or seen something.
On Friday the son had just been promoted to a manager at the Burger King in Beaufort.
Deputies say they have had multiple tips being called in and and interviewed several people since Saturday night.
Previous Story
The names of a father and son found shot to death this weekend in Carteret County have been released.
Deputies say 50-year-old Duane Correll and his 20-year-old son Albert, were shot Saturday night on Taylor Farm Road, outside of Beaufort.
The son died at the scene, while the father died later at Carteret General Hospital from a gunshot wound.
Deputies have not make any arrests in the double murder and continue to look for a silver or faded blue 4-door car that was seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed.
Court records show the younger Correll had two pending misdemeanor drug charges in Carteret County. One for possession of marijuana up to 1/2 ounce and the other for possessing drug paraphernalia.
They plan to update the media this afternoon at 2:00 p.m.
Anyone with information on the double murder is asked to call Crime-Stoppers at (252) 726-INFO or the Sheriff's Office at (252) 504-4800.

Jude Law In, Michael Fassbender Out Of Lynne Ramsay's Jane Got A Gun
By Nick Venable 2013-03-12 04:55:27 comments
Lynne Ramsays last film, We Need to Talk About Kevin, was a challenging look at the role that parenthood plays in the midst of a notorious tragedy. For her next film, the oft-delayed Jane Got a Gun, Ramsay looks to expound upon those themes, albeit more with outlaw gangs than infuriating teenagers. Only shell be doing it with a slightly different cast than previously reported.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Fassbender has exited the film, with sources saying his upcoming Montreal shoot for X-Men: Days of Futures Past presented scheduling conflicts, as Jane is to finally begin filming this April. Fassbender was set to play the male lead opposite Natalie Portmans Jane, but that role will now be filled by the films other male star, Joel Edgerton, who was originally set to play the films villain. Jude Law has signed on to take over the antagonist character, making this the third film hell appear in with Portman, after 2003s historical drama Cold Mountain and 2004s deceitful romance Closer.
From a screenplay written by first-timer Brian Duffield, Jane Got a Gun follows Portman, a wife whose outlaw husband arrives home full of bullets and close to death. Fearing the impending arrival of her husbands gang, led by Law, Jane reaches out to an estranged former lover (Edgerton) to help her defend her farm against the gangs upcoming attack.
Before he gets to this though, Jude Law will finish filming Wes Andersons next critical darling The Grand Budapest Hotel, having recently wrapped as the titular safe-cracker in Dom Hemingway. His latest film, Steven Soderberghs Side Effects, was released in February.

May 30, 2016
A new report finds more than 1.285 million Mississippians voted for president in 2012, one of the largest turnouts ever in the state.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann says in a news release that the figure was second only to voter participation in the 2008 general election, in which 1.289 million votes were cast.
The secretary of state's office is required to issue a report to legislators, the governor and the public on each election.
Overall, Hosemann's report says the state's 82 counties were well-prepared despite a high number of last-minute voter registrations.
The report outlines several problems, including inappropriate voter assistance, campaigning too close to the polls, a failure by some counties to certify results in a timely manner and lack of proper signs in some cases.

I bought my pelican case to take on a dive trip to Bonaire in May. It did a great job standing up to the rough baggage handling of several different flights. The thing is a tank - basically indestructable. In addition, it is waterproof, so if you have to travel with wet gear, it doesnt soak everything in your car. The case is very heavy, though. At around 30lbs empty, you hit your 50lb limit for most airlines before you get all your gear inside. Normally when I travel with it, I end up either packing a smaller carry-on for my regs, camera, and lights, or just paying the additional fee to get a 75lb bag.

These gloves are great for warm water dives, or here in SoCal during the summer time. I find that these give great dexterity, but you can definitely feel thermoclines! These work great for using underwater cameras with small buttons. VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE!

I use Sealife Moisture Munchers with my current UW camera and strobe - they are great! They fit easily in the case, and change color when they are no longer functioning. One word of caution - I have seen stores selling capsules that have already turned pink (they have already been exposed to moisture). Fresh capsules should be dark blue - dont purchase (or return) any packages with pink capsules - the package probably had a leak.

The SeaLife Digital Strobe was a good purchase. The item was a bit more than I had hoped to pay, but after using it, I appreciate the ruggedness and reliability it offers. My only issue was that the frame for the strobe and the mounting on my Ikelite camera case were not compatible, and the arm is a little flimsy for the weight of the camera & case. I was able to improvise to make the mounting work.

Wayne Johnson named 2010 NITL executive of the year
" My advice to anyone is to always review your position as it relates to your department and/or company positions. Get to know the various departments outside your area and their perspectives on transportation and other vital issues."
November 08, 2010
The first thing one notices about Wayne Johnson is that he's still a man on the move. Given the number of professional responsibilities he has been charged with over the course of his career, this should hardly come as a surprise. But perhaps his most distinguished feature, say his colleagues, is that he always takes the high road in any task or negotiation—a noble characteristic that has earned him the respect of the industry at large.
Johnson is presently the manager of carrier relations for Owens Corning, headquartered in Toledo, Ohio. For over 34 years he has worked in the field of logistics and transportation as a shipper, a carrier executive, and an educator. He has over 29 years of management responsibility with Fortune 100 companies in the United States and Mexico and worked with Landstar in Philadelphia for five years. Johnson also brings eight years of teaching experience in transportation and accounting to the table.
On top of his daily commitments over the years, he's found time to be the Chairman of the National Industrial Transportation League's (NITL) Highway Committee, serve on the League's Board of Directors, and remain an active member of its Rail Committee.

Renewable Resources: Growing Up With Sarge Shrivers Biggest Fans
Adrienne Benson Scherger
My brother is the black sheep of the family. He married a year out of college and went to law school, which he loved. Soon afterwards he became a lawyer and a father. I admire his rebellious spirit. I, on the other hand, split up with my college boyfriend just before graduation. He went back home to Alaska, and I packed a backpack and headed for the Himalayas to work as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. I always was the dutiful daughter.
Ever since I can remember, Sargent Shriver's name has been a household word. My parents would often pause in the middle of a story about their Peace Corps experience and sigh, "Good old Sarge Shriver." In Zambia, when I was a small child, my parents were work-ing for the American Friends Service Committee. Those were the days of little extra money, and we used to vacation by taking extended camping trips in our VW van. Driving through the game parks, my brother and I would bounce up and down shrieking, "Whoever sees an elephant first gets a brownie!" My mother would turn from her position in the passenger seat to say, "Settle down, you guys. Let me tell you about the time I lived right by the ocean." Nothing would calm me like imagining my mother with her long, black braids setting up a home in a bamboo house, a house on stilts at the edge of a Philippine island.
My father would enrapture us with stories, as well. He'd pause, mid-sentence, to twist up the edges of his handlebar mustache and launch into a story of the Rajasthan desert—narrow escapes from deadly asps or trying to teach Hindu camel herders to raise chickens. He even claimed to have learned to hypnotize chickens in Peace Corps training.
My mother, formerly Pamela Cohelan (Philippines 10), and my father, David Benson (India 5), were both Peace Corps Volunteers. They served under Kennedy, under "Good old Sarge Shriver." Growing up with their stories and their commitment to development work, there was never a time when I didn't dream of joining the Peace Corps myself.
My parents even met one another through the Peace Corps. My mom closed service and embarked on a round-the-world trip. She was headed home to a job at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C. My father closed service, but stayed on in India by taking a staff position at the northern regional office. During her visit to India, my mother met some Volunteers, one of whom was my father, and the rest is history. They laid eyes on each other and suddenly a job at Peace Corps headquarters didn't seem quite so appealing. My mother found herself a position with the Peace Corps regional office in Calcutta and six weeks—yes, six weeks!—after they met they were married in a church in Bombay. He sweating in a dark suit; she wrapped in a crimson sari.
When I was accepted to Peace Corps almost 30 years later, my parents were thrilled. When they heard I was going to Nepal, they began planning their trip. I had grown up in Africa, so Asia was a welcome new horizon for me and, of course, a cause for nostalgia for them.
Some things about being a second-generation Peace Corps Volunteer were great. My parents understood my angst-filled, sometimes lonely letters home. They could talk about sustainable development and the frustrations of village life. They laughed with me in recognition of generic Peace Corps stories, pit latrines, and overcrowded buses. My mother and I found solidarity in the classic female Volunteer weight gain and in the multitude of marriage proposals from strange men (my father's proposal to her not included).
As a Volunteer in the 1990s, I was often told that things are much easier for contemporary Volunteers than they were "back in the day." I'm sure that's true in many ways. However, when my parents first made the hike into Pula Bhirmuni, my village under the edge of a cliff in the Kali Gandaki river valley, both of them said that my site, my Peace Corps life, was harder than theirs had been. Of course, much of that assertion had to do with the fact that I am their baby daughter, but I still felt, upon hearing it, that I'd arrived.
The women in the village were so impressed that I had a family. Many hadn't been convinced that I was not simply some unconnected entity, with them because I had nowhere else to be. A young, unmarried woman voluntarily so far away from her family was simply too bizarre to imagine. My mother wore a shalwar kameez (a long tunic with baggy pants), which was a huge success. We spent a day down in the rice paddies with the women. The tiny, terraced fields were emerald with the new rice growth and were bordered with golden, blooming soybeans. Amongst the laughter and singing of the women, we tried our best to work the rice. The women shrieked with mirth, "Aasa!" they yelled my village name, "your mother can do this better than you can!"
From Nepal, my parents continued on to India, where they visited my father's old Peace Corps site. Thirty years after his service had ended, they were given a wonderful reception. Everyone still remembered him and his chicken projects.
I hope that there are some people in Pula Bhirmuni who will remember me if I am lucky enough to go back in 30 years. I have two children of my own now whom I hope someday will clamor to hear my Peace Corps stories. Maybe they will even be third-generation Peace Corps Volunteers, children raised on images of their mother making a home for herself in a little stone house in the shadow of the mountains in Nepal.

Item # SHI0566
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Cranksets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7900/7950 Crankset $0.00
We'll start by defining some terms here about the Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7900 crankset. When you see "FC-7900", that refers to the 53/39 chainring combo of this crankset, a.k.a. a "standard" crankset. When you see "FC-7950", that refers to the 50/34 chainring combo, a.k.a. a "compact" crankset. This is the first-ever generation of Dura-Ace that offers both a standard and a compact option, and in our minds it is the final and authoritative piece of evidence we need to prove that triple cranksets are dead. Good riddance!
The most immediate difference between the Dura-Ace FC-7900 crankset and the FC-7800 generation that preceded it is aesthetics. The FC-7900 is decidedly sleeker and more aerodynamically shaped. The ...the most appealing Dura-Ace crank ever, yet it's also lighter, stiffer, and the teeth have been optimized for efficiency... edges are less sharp and more rounded, and the driveside crankarm flows more fluidly into each spider arm. From the standpoint of pure sculpture, it's Shimano's most beautiful component in the Dura-Ace 7900 series.
The Dura-Ace FC-7900 and FC-7950 cranksets represent more than just beauty, though -- thanks to their hollow, forged, thin-walled Hollowtech II crankarms, you save 15g over the 7800-series crankset. You save a few grams, too, due to the fact that the outer chainring is also hollow. This hollow design does more than shave weight -- according to Shimano the hollow chainring and re-shaped crankarms make the FC-7900and 7950 a full 20% stiffer than the FC-7800.
Another theme with the Dura-Ace 7900-series drivetrain is the reduction of mechanical drag. Just as the chain and cassette were redesigned to mate together with a new level of closeness, the chainring teeth on the FC-7900 and FC-7950 were likewise re-thought to deliver Shimano's most efficient chain contact. On race day, every watt counts, and this precise fit between chain and chainring eliminates needless loss of your power. It has the added benefit, too, of making your front shifts ultra-crisp, and making your drivetrain as silent as can be. Improved bottom bracket seals further reduce power-robbing friction and contamination.
We offer the Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7900 and FC-7950 in the following crankarm lengths: 165mm, 170mm, 172.5mm, 175mm, 177.5mm, and 180mm. According to Shimano, it is only compatible with the Shimano Dura-Ace FD-7900 front derailleur and CN-7900 chain. It is not compatible with the equivalent 7800 series components. However, it is compatible with the Dura-Ace 7900, 7801, and 7800 series bottom brackets.

General Wine Thoughts
If you are a wine lover, chances are you have fantasized about owning a winery. Picture this: you are perched high above in your chateau, stroking your cat with your extended manicured pinkie finger, looking down from your burgus across the moat and gazing upon your many hectares of estate vineyards and your winery minions scurrying about. Minions? You know your sister's unemployed kid who hasn't left the couch since he graduated college in 1998, but claims he is holding out for a management position ...
SLAP! Snap out of it! Owning a winery is hard work unless you really do own a burgus high above your chateau overlooking a moat and hectares of estate vineyards. Owning a winery can be considered blue collar work! It's agriculture! It is wet! It can be repetitious! But if you have patience, true passion and not afraid to stain your extended pinkie finger the color purple, then owning a winery is for you. Here's an example of a normal work day at Mannina Cellars - - bottling day! I mean, what did you think, that little fairies magically put wine in the bottles while you were sleeping?
SuLei Cellars: It was a must that I check out their new downtown tasting room. The big release for Tanya and Elaine was their 2008 Roller Girl Red, inspired by the new local roller derby team, Walla Walla Sweets Roller Girls. Big fruit from Les Collines and Lodmell Vineyards. A Bordeaux style red blend of 48% Cabernet Franc, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Merlot. It was a mouthful of berries with caramel and tobacco notes. Luscious for $17
Tranche Cellars: 2005 Slice of Pape. Walla Walla's answer to the great Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A traditional southern Rhone style blend of 56% Grenache, 38% Syrah, 5.5% Counoise and a skoosh of Viognier. Elegant. Raspberry and tobacco nose and a palate greeting you with smoky and dark cherry cola flavors. Tranche also greets you with a beautiful grassy view. $35
Trio Vintners: 2006 Mourvèdre. Okay, I didn't taste this during the big weekend, but I did sneak a visit to sample Trio a few days before. Does that count? It's distinctive with dark earthy flavors. A mouthful of wild blackberries and a hint of violet on the nose. It left with a spicy, yet long finish. I sampled it with a lamb sausage and marinara dip. $26
Trust Cellars: Like Pee-Wee Herman says, "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?" Again, Steve Brooks has another winner with his 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. I loved it. Balanced and elegant. A palate of dark chocolate covered cherries with a creamy liquor center. Swoon worthy! $36
Walla Walla Vintners: Okay, so call me easy. Hellooo Easy! But I cannot get past their 2008 Cabernet Franc. I have been coveting bottles of WWV Cab Franc since their 1997 release. As always, Myles and Gordy's new vintage didn't disappoint. Cherry cola, chocolate and creme brulee flavors with a hint of the "green" that I love so much about Cabernet Francs. Complex! And believe it or not, but two weeks before WWV Cab Franc was paired for me and my guests with lobster in a saffron scented stock ala Chef Bear at the Marcus Whitman. A pair made for Bacchus and a Mermaid. $28
Okay, so come Sunday I was pooped! Oh well, fiddle dee dee. After all, tomorrow is another wine drinking day in Walla Walla.

Camelina as a biofuel
A new study by researchers from Colorado State University as well as the University of Colorado looks at production of camelina and conversion to biofuel for farm use.
Camelina is a flowering plant of the mustard family that is grown as an oilseed crop. It has a short growing season and is well suited to higher elevation and drier climates like those found in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
The study found that taking into account first year costs, risk from drought and other inputs, farmers could break even from converting camelina to biofuel if diesel prices are $4.35 per gallon or more. When diesel is less than $3.40 per gallon, they stand to make more selling camelina meal as a livestock feed.
More information about the study can be found at instaar.colorado.edu.

The Clam
420 Hudson St., 212-242-8420, West Village, Manhattan
The lowly clam gets its due at The Clam, a lovely, 50-seat corner spot in the West Village from Market Table partners Mike Price and Joey Campanaro. Chef Price's thick clam dip clings to zesty, browned house-made potato chips, a snack that would disappear in seconds at any party. Cherrystone stuffies—clams baked with pancetta, lemon and the holy trinity of finely diced celery, carrot and onion—are no less popular. And who can resist a fried belly-clam sandwich on a griddled bun spread with lobster remoulade? Oysters Rockefeller, chilled king crab and jumbo lump crab cakes are also on hand. The restaurant's design pays homage to shellfish too, without resorting to kitschy fishing nets or buoys; the vaulted, tiled ceiling gleams with mother-of-pearl, as if we're all in one giant mollusk together.

Summertime blues
August 19, 2011
Although I am an avid newspaper reader, it is hard to embrace much of what I am reading on the front page these days, especially when it comes to news regarding 400 point stock market declines.
Some days, of course, the headlines have pointed to gains of similar amounts, too. But with these ups and downs, the only consistent thing we are seeing is just how inconsistent things are. This, of course, does not pertain to just what the market is doing; it also has to do with the big picture.
This, as we all know, is a picture that is getting messier all the time. I am not sure how else to describe what is going on, nor all people that have been following the economy far longer than I have.
One consistent theme when it comes to figuring out the economy is that we have not seen this level of uneasiness perhaps ever. One can easily make the case we are living in unprecedented times in terms of what we are witnessing and have the displeasure of dealing with to a large degree.
Look at unemployment. I am sure we all know someone that is out of work and struggling to make ends meet. These people are likely qualified and would be an asset to the companies they are sending resumes to, but more often than not they are getting turned away for myriad reasons.
These reasons vary from economic malaise to companies keeping their money on the sidelines to not knowing what is coming around the corner.
Again, more signs of unprecedented times.
What we are seeing today is a tough story to tell, whether you are working or not. It seems like we all know what the problems are. But when it comes to fixing them, the solutions are either not doing enough to jumpstart things or they are lacking in scale and delivery.
Chances are, you know this already, but in my opinion it bears repeating. At the same time, I don't want to be a "downer," because I know how great our nation has been in the past and have every confidence we will return to greatness once again.
Until then, all we can do is continue to work hard and take things one day at a time.

Two European scientists named Stephan Kempe and Josef Kazmierczak were researching Satonda Lake in 1984, 1989 and 1996. The result of their studies showed that Satonda Lake is a rare phenomenon because of the salty water with alkaline levels much higher than regular sea water. It was their combined opinion that Satonda basin coincided with the formation of craters which aged back more than 10,000 years. (Microbialites and Hydrochemistry of the Crater Lake of Satonda ", 1996)
Not many people have heard of Pulau Satonda, lying off the northern coast of the island of Sumbawa, close to Pulau Moyo.
Satonda island was formed by volcanic eruption on the sea floor at a depth of 1000 meters, and thrust upwards some millions of years ago. This charming island is located in the Flores Sea and is administratively part of the Nangamiro Village area, in the district of Dompu, in the province of West Nusa Tenggara.
The volcanic island of Satonda looks especially stunning when viewed from the top of Mount Tambora, which is located approximately 30 kilometers from Pulau Satonda. Many say it feels incomplete to climb Mount Tambora without paying a visit to Pulau Satonda as well. Reportedly Satonda is more popular among foreign tourists who make it a sort of stopping point when visiting the Komodo National Park from Bali or Lombok. They usually come to see and experience first-had the stunning white sand, and crystal clear waters for snorkeling.
In addition to the diverse tourist crowd, beginning with the exotic, natural volcanic mountains and beautiful salt water lake in the crater, Satonda also stores a wealth of coral reefs in the surrounding waters. Due to the wealth it has of natural sea coral reefs, Satonda was designated a Marine Nature Park (TWAL) in 1999 by the Ministry of Forestry.
There are several types of coral in the waters around the island Satonda, namely Acroporidae, Xenia sp, Favidae, Sarcophyton sp, sp Labophyton, Hetractris crispa, Nephtea sp, sp Capnella, Lemnalia sp and sp Astrospicularis. In the living corals surrounding this island are also many species of ornamental, exotic fish and other sea creatures. Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imricata) is also often seen swimming and foraging among the Satonda coral reefs. As for the types of marine flora found here, several in abundance are, ketapang (Terminalia catappa), sea pandanus (Pandanus tectorius), fig (Ficus sp), sea hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus), nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum), Mentigi (Pempis sp) and tamarind (Tamarindus indica).
In addition to being a tourist destination, the island volcano area of 2,600 hectares, managed by the West Nusa Tenggara Natural Resources Conservation Center, is also frequented by scientists and researchers from both within and outside the country. One reason for this is because of the presence of the island that can not be separated from the phenomenal eruption of Mount Tambora which shook the world on 15 April 1815. The eruption of Mount Tambora rocked several parts of the world, spewing dust and polluting the Earth's atmosphere for many years, even tearing the thin ozone layer. Its effects also resulted in climate change which led to eight weeks of nonstop rain in the UK which triggered a typhus epidemic that killed 65,000 people. The eruption of Mount Tambora also resulted in darkness which brought on crop failure in China, Europe, and Ireland and led to food shortages in these countries.
In connection with the effects of the eruption of Mount Tambora, the presence of a salt water lake in the Satonda crater is one of the unique and interesting effects to be studied. The Satonda crater resembles a figure eight with a diameter of 950 meters from the south and 400 meters from the east. This ancient lake was formed from the Satonda eruption thousands of years ago. The Satonda volcano which is supposedly older than Mount Tambora, grew along with several parasitic volcanoes scattered around Tambora. The lake that was formed in the crater was once filled with fresh water. It is said that the eruption of Mount Tambora resulted in a tsunami which filled the crater and turned it into the salt water lake that it is today
As this island is uninhabited, the nearest recommended accommodation to Pulau Satonda are in Sumbawa, 50 km. To the southeast. Below are the addresses and contact information for two of the recommended accommodations.
Samawa Seaside Cottages Tanjung Menangis (Opposite Pulau Moyo), Sumbawa Besar 84312 50 Km. Southeast of Pulau Satonda Phone: +62 – 371 – 21754 Email:email@example.com
Samawa Transit Hotel Jalan Garuda No. 41 Sumbawa Besar (around 50 km. Southeast of Pulau Satonda) Sumbawa
Prepare your clothes, towels, snorkeling equipment, and all you will need for the day when you visit the exotic volcanic island. Saltwater lakes and calm waters around the island will attract you to swim and observe them.
Bring enough to eat and drink during the day as the island is uninhabited, with no restaurants or shops.
Bring or keep the trash you produce (eg, from food or drink packing ). If there aren't any trash bins found on the island. Help us to preserve the natural beauty of this island.
Wear something comfortable, clothes and shoes conducive to climbing, if you will be doing the climb up to Satonda Lake.
You may not take action that leads to destruction and environmental pollution around the island. This island's ecosystem has a unique richness that is not found in many other places in the world. Therefore, it is mandatory for any visitors to participate in maintaining and preserving it.
Administratively, Satonda island is located in the district of Nangamiro, Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara. To reach Satonda Island there are several alternative paths to choose from.
There are only a few local flights to Bang Bidji airport at Sumbawa besar. Take a flight from Bali or Lombok to the town of Sumbawa Besar, centrally located on the island of Sumbawa
Merpati flies twice weekly and Trans Nusa also has flights to Sumbawa Besar. Please check with the airlines.
From Sumbawa Besar, the journey to the Nangamiro village can be reached in approximately 8 hours by car. If you are from Dompu, the journey to the small village would be approximately 5 hours.
From the Nangamiro harbor, Satonda Island can be reached by boat in about a half to one hour's ride. Boat rates are approximately Rp. 25,000, - per person. Another alternative is to take cruises from Bali or Lombok, towards the Flores area. The cruise ship is often stopped for a visit to the Komodo National Park before proceeding to Satonda

Hurricane Sandy slams Bellmore-Merrick
(Page 3 of 5)
On Monday afternoon, only hours before Sandy struck, the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla., upgraded its risk assessment for south Bellmore and south Merrick, saying there was a 10 to 20 percent chance the area could be hit by a storm surge of at least eight feet.
A storm surge is different than the wave action caused by a hurricane. Surge is a steady rise in sea level itself, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees the National Hurricane Center. So, an eight-foot storm surge would mean a sea level rise eight feet above normal levels.
Storm surge is a critical factor in determining whether water from the Atlantic will inundate an area. Many parts of Bellmore and Merrick south of Merrick Road lie at or only a few feet above sea level, so even a four-foot storm surge could cause street flooding in those sections of the community.
Hurricane Sandy marched up the East Coast at 15 miles per hour into Monday afternoon, but accelerated to 29 mph at mid-afternoon as it neared the New Jersey shoreline, gaining energy as it went, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Sandy started to build in intensity early on Monday, increasing the certainty that it would bring hurricane-force wind gusts up to 85 mph, drenching rain and heavy tidal surges from Maryland-Delaware to Long Island and beyond. In its 5 a.m. briefing that day, the National Hurricane Center predicted that there was an 80 percent chance the South Shore could see tropical storm-force winds during the storm, and there was a 50 to 70 percent chance that coastal areas like south Bellmore and south Merrick would see a tidal surge of at least four feet.
"Reports from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph, with higher gusts. The combination of an extremely dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters," the hurricane center noted in its briefing.

Published Dec. 26, 2012
COLUMBIA, S.C. — The wood pellet industry in South Carolina is picking up steam with one plant ramping up production and another about to be built.
When both facilities are operating, South Carolina will have the capacity to produce about 700,000 tons of pellets annually.
Still, South Carolina is "a relatively small player in the export market," said Hakan Ekstrom, of Wood Resources International, headquartered in Bothell, Wash.
There's potential for growth in the manufacturing of wood pellets as some countries in Europe are searching for ways to trim carbon emissions in fueling base-load power generation.
Also, countries like Germany plan to shut down commercial reactor units in the wake of safety issues raised by the nuclear accidents at Fukushima, Japan.
To meet the rising demand, wood pellet manufacturing has expanded in the South, helping make the United States the largest exporter in the world.
With continued investments throughout the Southern United States, export volumes are forecast to reach 5.7 million tons in 2015, up from 1.5 tons expected to be produced this year, according to the North American Wood Fiber Review, a publication of Wood Resources International.
It's estimated that pellet production will at least double over the next four to five years, and some forecasts project 25% to 30% in annual growth globally over the next decade.
Wood pellet exports in the South rose 13% in the second quarter of 2012 over the amount reported for the first quarter despite temporary slowdowns at facilities in Florida and Georgia, because of fires at a U.S. port and at a pellet consumer in the United Kingdom, the publication said.
Lowcountry Biomass has invested $16 million into expanding its existing wood pellet plant in the Jasper County community of Ridgeland.
The expanded facility, which will have the capacity to produce 200,000 tons of pellets annually, will begin around-the-clock operations in the first quarter of 2013.
Meanwhile, Atlanta-based Enova Energy Group plans to build a network of three pellet plants in Georgia and South Carolina. The first project will be constructed in the Edgefield County town of Trenton, off S.C. Highway 121. Work will begin sometime during the first quarter of 2013.
The Enova plant will produce wood pellets to be used as a renewable fuel for export to the European Union under long-term contracts with public and private utilities.
Each of Enova's new facilities annually will produce 500,000 tons of wood pellets by 2014.
The pellets from the Edgefield plant will move by rail to the Port of Savannah and shipped overseas.
The major source of feedstock for pellets is saw mill residue. The wood fiber material is dried and then pressed through a die, producing pellets 6 to 8 millimeters long or about the length of the first digit of a human finger.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, S.C. mills in 2011 produced 9 million tons of wood residues that was either burned as waste or dumped in landfills.
In South Carolina, where forestry is the state's No. 1 manufacturing industry, providing more than 90,000 jobs, logging residue is the single largest source of under-utilized biomass, said Tim Adams of the S.C. Forestry Commission.
However, the material "is generally not suitable for pellets because of the amount of dirt mixed in with it," Adams said. "Logging residues are better suited for use in biomass-fired boilers where the fuel doesn't have to be pelletized."
Pellet manufacturers generally prefer pulpwood like that used by the pulp and paper industry or by oriented strand board manufacturers, Adams said. Pulpwood can be chipped into a cleaner form of biomass, he said.
With about two-thirds of South Carolina, 13.1 million acres, covered by forest, it would appear that the state has plenty of resources available for wood pellets.
"We actually have more wood here in South Carolina than we've ever recorded, and our records go back to the 1920s," Adams said. "However, our wood supply is not evenly distributed across the state or by age."
Wood suitable for making fuel pellets is in the forests of the Piedmont, Adams said. But pellet manufacturers prefer to have their plant and operations close to a major seaport to hold down transportation costs.
One of the commission's roles is to help prospective biomass companies make better decisions on where to locate based on the resource, Adams said.
Finding the right supply of biomass in a location that can be moved economically to an available port facility is a real challenge, Adams said.
Columbia Regional Business Report Editor James T. Hammond contributed to this story.

We are a small company that supports 7 outlying locations connected via T1 back to a central hub.
Our current email system (Lotus Notes/Domino) has a server at each outlying location, a hub server and a server in the DMZ that serves webmail for users out of the office.
Using the replication system built into lotus we are able to have users mail boxes (.nsf files for the Lotus savy) on 3 servers at once. This provides a backup without tape drives at the remote locations (on the hub server) and a secure copy on the remote server should the copy of the mail box on the DMZ server become compromised.
Is there a way to accomplish something similar (I'm not looking to have the system be the same necessarily) with Zimbra?
For the DMZ side I'm thinking some sort of reverse proxy that backhauls the HTTP traffic over the WAN links to the remote location. This however will require some heavy rewrite rules since each remote location has their own domain name.
For the backup solution so that we won't have to maintain tapes at the remote the best I can see is doing some sort of NFS/RSYNC of the backup folder that you have the Zimbra backup system pointed at. Not sure how effective or bandwidth intensive that would be.
Thoughts? Questions?

Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton and an adviser to President Barack Obama, spills the beans about the Democrat's plans for your health care!
He affirms that this is what an educated, honorable, realistic, democracy should support:
-Younger people should pay more
-Healthier people should pay more
-Older people should just die- they're "too expensive"
-There should be "less innovation" in medical technology
-You should not expect to live longer than your parents.
You heard it yourself! This is what they're planning for our health care. This is what they want. Nothing about that is enlightened, liberal, compassionate, or good. This man and his boss are clearly misanthropic, cruel, and vicious.
Representative Alan Grayson of Florida stands corrected- the Democrats' plan for health care is "just die quickly" -not the Republicans.
Spread this far and wide!
H/T: To the guys that found and edited this at Verum Serum
UPDATE: Robert Reich caught in a lie.

Very Rare Book
A few months ago, I was flipping through a few journals I don't read regularly, and found a citation to the non-existent book. The author included it in a "for further discussion, see...." footnote. Hilarious. This reminded me why I don't read that journal.
Now it has been brought to my attention that the book is once again listed on Amazon. However, it is now listed as available from a used dealer. The book, which was listed at roughly $20 when there was some reason to believe it was forthcoming, is for sale "used, like new" at $110!
So tempting.

Could it be a bulking dummy of the book with just a comped cover that was used to try and help pre-sell the series?
Just for the potential of exposing fraud, you are almost behooved in a moral imperative kind of way to order the book so that no one else can be duped. At worst, you expose a fraud. At best, you have a one of a kind relic of something that is in itself a historical footnote for you.

I don't think this book ever got as far as that. I think they got an ISBN for it (hence it showed up on Amazon), and were waiting for a MS (until the whole series got canned).
But I do think that maybe the Chronicle of Higher Ed might get a brief note about this-- especially the citation. We all use Amazon as a kind of research tool at times (viz., to see what new books are coming out on a topic), but the responsible ones among us use Amazon as a way to find stuff to *read*, not to find stuff to pad one's bibliography.
- June 27, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Here's a possibility, and one that would take a less confrontational tone: have one of your colleagues write to the editor of the journal that published the paper and ask if the editor can arrange a book review for your book -- since those writing for the journal find the volume so useful, the general readership should know about the book. Now the editor will wander down the garden path...

An excellent suggestion. *Lingua Franca* used to be the forum for this kind of thing... I kinda miss it.

Another explanation of what's going on with the used bookseller is simple incompetence. It could be that the book is one of your other very expensive academic editions, and the seller listed it incorrectly at amazon. It seems somehow less likely that a used bookseller is using the isbn for a forthcoming book and advertising it for sale, and somewhat more likely that they have some book of yours at hand and didn't get the listing correct.
- June 27, 2008 at 8:22 PM
- Spiros said...
Interesting hypothesis.
- June 28, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Spiros: Definitely a good idea contacting the Chronicle of Higher Ed.
Another idea is to contact the Publisher or Editor and alert them to the listing on Amazon. In case there was some promo material that someone decided to sell off, the publisher can at least do the leg work to have it removed form the marketplace before someone is disappointed or worse, more people use a non-existent book as a reference potentially putting words in your mouth.
I would think a book seller would want to be as accurate as possible to make sure he/she got the sale, so the odds of using the wrong ISBN by the seller seems remote.
