Information I wanted to share with you weeks ago, so here's a copy-paste:
Hey, my name is Curtis, I'm a film director from Canada. In the summer I worked on a film called 'The Bike Heist' we shot in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The central theme of the film is bicycles and friendship. We our currently releasing promotional teasers every month or so until the release this summer (2011). Our best marketing tool is word of mouth, telling friends, blogs etc. Then they tell more people and so on, you get the idea. We have been featured on a couple bicycle blogs so far, but would greatly appreciate your support also. The website for the film is www.thebikeheist.ca and perhaps you can make a post on your blog or even embed the teaser. I would appreciate your support and it certainly is for a greater cause. Long live cycling.
I'm riding right with ya, Curtis, thanks for making and sharing The Bike Heist! Dear readers, followers, subscribers: share, embed, link to, RT, syndicate away

Hardwood Paroxysm's deep and versatile crew of writers previews the upcoming NBA season in the most HP way imaginable: a 221-page opus featuring three sections on each of the 30 teams, seven additional long form articles, eight roundtable discussions, nine original pieces of art, and all the witty jokes and puns your heart can handle.
Don't come around here if you're looking for the usual analysis, wanting the little blurbs, the same constantly-trodden-out analysis. This is for the freaks. The hoop heads. The basketball obsessed. The #LeaguePassAlert hounds and the #KnicksTape listeners.
This is for true basketball fans to understand the style and flow of the league – the nova nights and the wack fantasy. This is for the ones who text their friends at 11PM to let them know that West Coast wing is having one of those nights. This is for the dudes sneaking away from their work at their desk to check trade machines and read rumor reports.
This is for people who love basketball.
Welcome to the Paroxysm.
If the Kindle is more your speed, we've got you covered, too. Just click here. (Note: We tried to charge $0.99 on Kindle, but Amazon won't let us. It's a $1.99 minimum for an e-book of this size. Sorry.)
Almost all of the proceeds from this preview are going towards the costs of our recent site redesign; you know, so you guys can do things like "read it on mobile" and "not vomit when you see how things are formatted." Beyond that, they're going towards helping out some of our writers with medical bills. In short, it's not like Matt, Jared, or Amin is going to be popping Cristal with J.R. Smith or buying a new cat to make GIFs of. You can rest assured that somewhere around 95 of your 99 cents is going towards a good cause (the rest is going towards a season-long supply of Pepto for Matt).

Hahn to Train with USA Volleyball National Team
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State libero Kristen Hahn has been invited to train with USA Volleyball's National Team. Hahn becomes the first Cyclone volleyball player to receive a chance to train with Team USA, the 2012 Olympic Silver Medalists.
"I got an email from USA head coach Karch Kiraly, and he said he wanted to talk to me," Hahn said. "He called me yesterday (Wednesday) and he invited me to come out to California in May and June. I did my best to keep my calm, but I was really excited and had a lot of questions. It is pretty exciting, I am still in a bit of shock."
Hahn, a three-time AVCA All-American and three-time Big 12 Libero of the Year during her playing career at Iowa State, traveled to Colorado Springs, Colo. back in February to take part in the WNT Tryout Event. Having previously been part of USA Volleyball's A2 Program, Hahn was in familiar surroundings and knew what she needed to do to make herself stand out.
"I had a great tryout," Hahn noted. "I felt it was my best tryout with USA Volleyball. My personality was able to show through and how I was able to connect with players and have a positive effect on the team."
Among the people Hahn gave credit for helping her earn the call-up to Team USA was a former Iowa Hawkeye coach.
"I have kept in contact with my USA coach, Ruth Nelson, as a mentor and she has helped me preare for this moment," Hahn stated. "She told me I needed to be ready mentally and realize that this is not a competition amongst others as much as it was a chance to prove my positive qualities. If I controlled what I did, the results would take care of themselves. I needed to continue to be a good teammate and work with different teammates to bring the best out of them, too."
Her positive effect on the Iowa State program has been shown among the banners atop Hilton Coliseum and the awards Iowa State volleyball has received as Hahn has helped the Cyclones continue their streak of eight consecutive NCAA Volleyball Championship appearances.
"I have had really great role models at Iowa State," Hahn said. "Christy (Johnson-Lynch) has always been an advocate for me, and has been among those who have always kept me in contact with USA Volleyball. She has always had a vision of where I was going to go in volleyball. The entire staff had helped shape me into a great volleyball player, pushing me and believeing in me. They have shaped me, not only as a volleyball player, but mentally and as a female athlete. I now know how to carry myself into the future and I owe them a great deal."
Johnson-Lynch was also excited to hear the news.
"This is the first athlete we have had get invited into the program," Johnson-Lynch said. "Kristen has worked very hard to create this opportunity for herself. She will do great out there, she is a great athlete and a terrific libero.
"Hopefully Hahn is the first of many," Johnson-Lynch continued. "We have become known for the work we do with our liberos at Iowa State, and this is the kind of reinforcement to show the volleyball community what we can do to make players great at Iowa State."
Before Hahn wears the red, white and blue, she has to wrap up her academic career in Ames. She is scheduled to graduate in May with her degree in kinesiology. After that, it is off to the world of professional volleyball.
"I think the hardest part was just getting my foot in the door," Hahn concluded. "Now that I have this opportunity, I can continue my volleyball career. It will be a continuous learning process and USA Volleyball is the next step for me. I will use the opportunity to help shape myself into a better volleyball player and to prepare myself for international volleyball. My goal is to be a part of USA Volleyball for as long as I can."
Hahn finished 2013 with 5.71 digs per set, the highest rate for a season in school history, her career digs per set mark of 5.17 dps is also an Iowa State record. She was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week five times in 2013 and 17 times in her career, a record for Big 12 volleyball. She finished her career with the most 20-dig matches (49) and 30-dig matches (8) in a career, Hahn also had the three highest single-season number of 20-dig matches. Hahn also finished her ISU tenure with 68 straight matches recording at least 10 digs, a streak that encompassed the entire 2012 and 2013 seasons.

Panama Canal completes major step in expansion program
October 17, 2011
In another important milestone of its Expansion Program, the Panama Canal Authority announced the completion of phase three of the dry excavation project in the construction of the Pacific Access Channel (PAC).
The Pacific Access Channel will connect the third set of locks with the Culebra Cut and Gatun Lake.
Tom Brossart, director of global logistics and trade compliance for W.R. Grace & Co. told LM that his company is tracking the expansion with great interest.
"Our 3PLs are hedging their bets by looking at all-water service rather than just having U.S. West Coast calls in the future," he said. "We know the Port of Houston is going to among the many gateways taking advantage of this."
The third phase of the PAC – costing $36.6 million including design, contractors and management – consisted of excavating 8.2 million cubic meters of materials, cleaning 190 hectares of munitions and explosives of consideration (MECs) and leveling Paraíso Hill from 46 meters to 27.5 meters above sea level.
This dry excavation project was completed within budget, on time and in compliance with strict environmental, safety, hygiene and quality standards.
"As we reach another milestone, we at the Panama Canal are proud to acknowledge that this new third lane will be a game changer in world maritime commerce," said Panama Canal Authority Administrator/ CEO Alberto Alemán Zubieta. Zubieta recently visited ports in the East and Gulf Coasts to showcase the Canal´s progress on expansion and future plans.
To date, three of the four dry excavation projects, which will result in a 6.1-kilometer channel, have been completed for Postpanamax vessels to transit once the Canal Expansion is completed.
The Canal's expansion is on schedule, following the recent commencement of the permanent concrete work for the new locks. The $5.25 billion project includes the construction of a new set of locks that will double Canal capacity and allow the transit of longer and wider ships.

Carter Cutlery "Shiro" brand knives by Kenichi Shiraki
I was introduced to Kenichi Shiraki in 1993 by a vendor who traveled all over Japan selling steel. I was just an apprentice smith at that time and hungry to learn all I could about Japanese traditional cutlery. I asked the vendor candidly who he thought was the very finest bladesmith in the country. He told me about Mr. Shiraki, but I was disheartened to discover that he lived and worked so far away from where I was living in Japan at that time. I was down south in Kumamoto and he was up in Osaka, the industrial capitol of the nation.
Feeling compelled to meet this living legend, I hopped on my motorcycle at the time, a Honda CRM 250 and burned rubber up to Osaka. The next day I was guided to Mr. Shiraki's shop by the steel vendor's friend. Entering into his shop I beheld a small man in a traditional bladesmith work-pit deftly pulling bright orange steel from the fire and welding it masterfully under the power-hammer. And what precision and blinding speed! In ten minutes he forged as many blades as most smiths make in half-a-day! We were introduced and my admiration for this man grew and grew.
Although we held no formal arrangement, I wound up paying Mr. Shiraki a visit about once every year, where he would teach me as much as I could retain during my week-long visits. In 1999, Japan's national TV network, NHK, appraoched me to star in a one hour long documentary called "The Blue-Eyed Bladesmith". Much of the filming was done with me and Mr. Shiraki in his shop, and even several (somewhat embarrassing) scenes at his house. I made some fine blades under his expert supervision which passed close examination of Japan's IronChef Michiba Rokusaburo.
Although I have made close to one hundred kata-ha blades in Shiraki's style, I have realized that it takes thousands to master what is the uncontested world's most complex blade to make properly. Compared to my hundred blades, Mr. Shiraki has made more than 700,000 kata-ha blades. (50 years X 60 blades/day. In his prime he could forge over 250 blades per day, so this estimate is very conservative). Kenichi Shiraki has made every possible shape, form and size in this style of blade-forging. To date, he is the only bladesmith in Japan that can successfully complete any quantity of Hitachi White Steel #1 Honyaki blades at will. There is no more difficult blade in the world metallurgicaly.
Besides his intimate knowledge of steel, proper forging temperatures and uncanny sense of timing, Mr. Shiraki ensures the greatest potential in the steel by heat-treating every blade in finely cut pine charcoal. Once the blades are forge-welded, forged, annealed, cold forged and heat-treated, they are sent to professional sharpener's for grinding and polishing.
I am proud to offer my loyal customers kata-ha blades from Japan's finest kata-ha bladesmith Mr Kenichi Shiraki. Carter Cutlery named this brand "Shiro", which is the Kanji character chiseled into the blade. We chose "Shiro" for many reasons; it means "White" which is Murray and Mr. Shiraki's steel of choice, it is the symbol for purity, implies simple elegance and is also the first kanji character of Mr. Shiraki's name!
As an expert in my own field of neck knives and three-layer laminate kitchen knives, I can assure you that you will not find better kata-ha Japanese knives anywhere, at any price!

This is absolutely fantastic! What a keepsake that she will treasure.
I'm interested in your process of actually assembling the book. If you'd ever fancy a tutorial about the stitching with embroidery floss and attaching the ribbon, I'd be a fan. :-) That sounds like a fun method, and it certainly renders a beautiful finished project.
Just FYI....I get tons of inspiration from your blog, and yesterday my five year old made a President Portrait using your great tutorial. It was tons of fun. Don't tell her, but I think her George Washington resembles my grandmother in later years. Ha! :-)
Love your blog.

New York, N.Y.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is upping the ante on holiday shopping.
The world's largest retailer is pulling forward by nearly a month seven big deals on items like TVs and tablets that were originally reserved for the day after Thanksgiving and so-called Cyber Monday.
Shoppers will be able to purchase the items online starting shortly after midnight Friday. At the same time, walmart.com will be pushing another 300 holiday deals on its website, from toys to home decor.
The seven deals include a 42-inch JVC LED TV for $299, a savings of 36 percent, and a 10-inch XELIO tablet for $49, a 51 percent discount. The items will be available while supplies last.
Wal-Mart declined to say whether it would be repeating the discounts during the Thanksgiving weekend.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- How's this for a deal? Seventeen dollars for 20 pounds of fresh, delicious Florida citrus. It's just a sample of what you'll find on Silver Spring start up, jasmere.com.
"People wanna find great deals. They wanna discover new products. They wanna save money, but they don't have a lot of time," says jasmere.com co-founder Katrina Emmerson Kugel.
Launched in December, jasmere.com is the latest addition to the deal a day movement. The site offers deals at 70% off and joins others like Buy With Me, Groupon and Living Social that push the power of collective buying.
Jasmere.com does it with a twist. Share more, save more.
Kugel describes how the citrus deal goes down.
"It started out as $21, but because of something we call social shopping, it went all the way down to $17."
And, jasmere.com doesn't believe in serving up leftovers.
"We don't just talk to retailers who have a warehouse full of stuff they couldn't sell. These are their best products, they wanna put their best foot forward."
Laura Bradford Godfrey sure does. Maybe you've seen her handbags carried by Desperate Housewives and featured in Real Simple magazine.
They normally retail for $155, but for 24 hours on jasmere.com, they will start at just $39.
The Roanoke-based designer and small business owner welcomes her chance to get some national exposure.
"They (jasmere.com) can reach out to so many thousand people and tell people where to find us, it's been really amazing."
You can even get alerts for products like these once a day. Then, in 24 hours, just like that it's gone.
"Everybody save, everybody wins," says Kugel.
And, speaking of saving, Kugel says if someone purchased each of their items in just the one month they've been in business, they would have saved over $1,000.

PITTSBURGH (AP) _ The Kansas City Chiefs have placed defensive end Glenn Dorsey on injured reserve with a calf injury and added defensive back Neiko Thorpe to the 53-man roster.
Dorsey played in just four games this season. He injured his left calf in practice in September and missed four games, then injured his right calf during a 31-13 loss to the Chargers on Nov. 1. The former first-round draft pick finishes the season with seven tackles and no sacks.
Thorpe made the Chiefs this summer after signing with the club as an undrafted rookie free agent. He played on special teams during a 9-6 loss to the Ravens last month, and was on the practice squad when he was promoted before Kansas City faced the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
Chiefs Release:
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Monday that the club has placed defensive end Glenn Dorsey on injured reserve and elevated defensive back Neiko Thorpe from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.
Dorsey (6-1, 297) has played in 66 games (65 starts) in five NFL seasons with the Chiefs. He has recorded 222 tackles (159 solo), 4.0 sacks for -18.0 yards, 22 pressures, one forced fumble, four fumble recoveries and three passes defensed. The Gonzales, La., native originally entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick (fifth overall) of the Chiefs in the 2008 NFL Draft. Dorsey was an All-SEC defensive end at LSU and prepped at East Ascension High School in Gonzales, La.
Thorpe (6-2, 185) originally joined the Chiefs as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2012. He's seen action on special teams in one contest vs. Baltimore on Oct. 7. He played in 51 games (40 starts) at Auburn, compiling 279 tackles (172 solo), seven interceptions returned for 189 yards (27.0 avg.), 35 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. He was an Under Armour All-American at Tucker High School in Tucker, Ga.

Theater openings seem to come in clumps -- last week there was one opening, this weekend there are six openings.
In drama, this week features the intense Edward Albee play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" at the Theatre Institute at Russell Sage College in Troy.
Albany Civic Theatre offers Neil LaBute's bitter and ironic "The Shape of Things."
For the lighthearted, the musical "Hello Dolly" opens at Cohoes Music Hall. and the sweet comedy "Skin Deep" will be presented by Stillwater Players and Others as dinner theater and "Nunsense" will open at The Arts Center in Saratoga Springs. There is even a politically slanted cabaret performance, "Patriotic and Political Songs of Gershwin" at Ft. Salem Theatre.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
TROY -- This is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the original version of "Virginia Woolf" and there is a much-lauded production running on Broadway to mark the occasion. The Theatre Institute production will feature former NYSTI actor David Bunce as George and guest artist in-residence Leigh Strimbeck plays Martha. Two Sage students will play the young married couple who serve as a horrified audience as the older couple reveal their secrets.
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf" is at the Meader Little Theatre on the Troy campus of Russell Sage College Nov. 2�through 11. Show times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $8 to $10; call (518) 244-2248.
Hello Dolly
COHOES -- Another durable favorite, "Hello Dolly," will be staged the next two weekends at Cohoes Music Hall. "Hello Dolly" opened on Broadway in 1964 and I doubt if a version of the musical has not been playing somewhere in the world ever since.
"Hello Dolly" will play at the Cohoes Music Hall, 58 Remsen St., Cohoes, through Nov. 11. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $25 to $35; call (518) 237-5858.
The Shape of Things
In some ways, the plays of Neil La Bute can be as shocking as are those by Edward Albee. La Bute's 90-minute play, "The Shape of Things," asks how far will a person go to be loved? What are the expectations of love and what is right or wrong about manipulating another person in the name of love or art? "The Shape of Things" plays through Nov. 18 at Albany Civic Theater, 235 Second Ave., Albany, through Nov. 18. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $15; call (518) 462-1297.
Skin Deep
If you like your comedies to have something to say, "Skin Deep" presented by Stillwater Players Among Others is that kind of work. It's a gentle but funny work about the concept of beauty and self worth at In some ways, it can be considered the flip side of "The Shape of Things" because both deal with how self image can be important when finding a life partner.
"Skin Deep" opens as dinner theater Friday at St. Peter's Parish Center, 267 N Hudson Ave., Stillwater, for a three-weekend run. Show times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 5 p.m. Sunday. Doors open at 6 p.m. and 3 p.m. respectively. Tickets are $35, $30 for seniors and veterans, for dinner and the show; $20 for the show only; call (518) 290-0019 or go to spaotheater.org
Performances are Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Nov 17.
Nunsense: The Second Coming
If you just want silly laughs and absurd humor, "Nunsense: the Second Coming" opens at The Arts Center, 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. The Local Actors Guild of Saratoga is bringing back the happy nuns for a night of laughs, puns and music.
Performances will be at 2 and 8 p.m. Nov. 3 and 10; 2 p.m. Nov. 4 and 11. Tickets are $20; call (518) 393-3496.
Patriotic and Political Songs of the Gershwins
There are few styles of musical theater purer than the cabaret format. And there are few venues that do cabaret better than Fort Salem Theater in Salem.
This, the weekend before the presidential election, Broadway veteran Bill Carmichael offers the "Patriotic and Political Songs of the Gershwins" at 8 p.m. Saturday. It is not meant to sway voters, rather it is a night of entertainment that pokes fun of politicians in general.
Because the creators are savvy folk in the world of fun, they will include a couple of non-political Gershwin songs like "Our Love is Here to Stay," "Embraceable You" and "A Foggy Day."
Tickets are $25; call (518) 854-9200 or go to www.fortsalemtheater.com

Make sure your holiday season is safe
(Page 2 of 2)
If you shop online, use a credit card rather than a debit card because it offers more protection from identity theft. Verify a website's security — the address at the top of the page on which you place an order should start with https, not just http — and don't do any shopping on a public computer. Do it at home, and make sure your network is secure in the same way.
No drinks for drivers
These are some of the biggest party nights of the year, culminating on New Year's Eve, but too many people get caught up in all the excitement and end the old year or start the new one with a tragedy. Planning on going out and drinking is only half of a smart plan. The other half is making sure you have a safe way to get home. Designate a driver or call a cab.
A drunk driver is quite simply a lethal weapon on the road. Time and again we see lives snuffed out because people put their own interests above the safety of other travelers. Expect state, Nassau County and local police departments to step up their DWI patrols starting this weekend. Of course it's OK to go out and have fun. But it's not OK to do it at the expense of public safety.

by Meighan Szigeti, Associate Manager, Digital Marketing
With Falstaff wrapping up its wonderful run at the Four Seasons Centre, we thought we'd ask the members of the low brass section of the COC Orchestra - Charles Benaroya (Principal trombone), Ian Cowie (trombone), Herbert Poole (trombone), and Scott Irvine (tuba/cimbasso) - a bit about what's helping bring Verdi's very human, and humorous opera to life: the valve trombone!
(l-r: Johannes Debus, Musical Director; Charles Benaroya, Principal trombone; Ian Cowie, trombone;
Herbert Poole, bass trombone; and Scott Irvine, tuba/cimbasso.)
You might call Giuseppe Verdi obsessive when it came to the slightest detail, but it's those small changes that truly bring out the mood that the composer was trying to achieve.
That's where the valve trombone comes in.
Verdi envisioned a low brass section that could articulate the very quick, light passages that communicate not only the humor but also the very rich, human tone in the score. Falstaff was also Verdi's last opera, and with decades of experience behind him, he went "all out" and a score that used all of the instruments to their fullest effect.
Charles Benaroya, Principal trombonist in the orchestra explains that when Verdi "was really starting to orchestrate at his best, he had these specific instruments in mind in his last two operas especially [Otello and Falstaff]. Everything gets used really well, in lots of different ways and there are a lot of fun effects [in Falstaff's score]."
Verdi may have very well be pleased with the COC Orchestra, as the COC is only one of two opera companies that recently used these unique instruments in their repertoire! In fact, for most Italian operas the COC low brass will use older instruments to fully realize the composer's intended ideas in the score.
But why go that extra mile? Benaroya explains that "Slide trombones today that are used in symphonies have been trending towards becoming bigger which leads to a broader heavier sounds, which is great if you're announcing the arrival of the Valkyries, or if Salome is dying, but in this music, which is lighter and more humourous, the lighter, crisper sound that you get from the Valve trombones contributes to a more appropriate mood."
What's the difference anyway?
Charles explains what the difference is (and watch below to really hear it!) and why they might have fallen out of fashion:
"On a Slide trombone, I had to articulate [with different breaths], or else you would end with one big 'smear' but on the Valve trombone you can do one stream of air, and the valves do all the work."
"Certain things are easier on a Valve system instead of a slide system, but as the instruments fell out of fashion, and then people stopped writing for them, because they knew they would be played by slide trombone players. The valve trombone never came into common use outside of Italy because the straighter tubing in a slide trombone allows for better airflow through the instrument, leading to a bigger, purer sound."
It might not seem like much of a difference to the average listener, but here's a an excerpt of a passage from Verdi's Falstaff to illustrate how this instrument is bringing the score to life:
FUN FACT: Did you know the instrument being used by Charles (far left in the video clip) was owned by none other than Rob McConnell, founder and Director of the Boss Brass? This renowned group of Toronto-based brass musicians recorded many albums, including recording with famous singers like Mel Tormé!

Madama Butterfly is one of Giacomo Puccini's greatest works and one of the most popular operas in the world. The opera tells the tragic story of Cio-Cio San, a Geisha, who falls in love with B. F. Pinkerton, a U.S. naval officer, while he is stationed in Japan. Formed through layers of symbolism, musical history, and diverse cultures, the opera is filled with unique elements from the costumes to the arias that help make it a favourite of opera goers both old and new.

Radiative Heat Transfer in Finite Cylindrical Media—P1 Method
Application ID: 8571
This model uses the Discrete-Ordinates method (DOM) to solve a 3D radiative transfer problem in an emitting, absorbing, and linear-anisotropic scattering finite cylindrical medium. Using the S6 quadrature of DOM leads to faster and more accurate results, which are needed in combined modes of heat transfer. The calculated incident radiation and heat fluxes agree well with published results obtained by transformed integral methods. The DOM formulation in COMSOL Multiphysics also easily handles the effects of boundary emission and reflection.

Rome's spectacular Postermania Snowboard for Men isn't just a piece of art for you to hang on your wall and ogle; this freestyle board performs as well as it looks, a true companion for anyone ready to rock. Designed for looser, laid-back fun, Rome's FreePop profile is a flat camber and rocker combo with extended flat sections, giving the board, with help from the semi-playful flex, versatile reaction and landing power while not sacrificing any jibbing power. Rome has always been innovate when it comes to unique shape. The QuickRip Sidecut Technology is here to prove it: mid-board contact points define areas of the board which support extra edge grip when the entire length is engaged. So, the Postermania can be ridden slow and loose, or powerfully using the full running edge. The workhorse of Rome's core collection, the Pop Core Matrix remains smooth and responsive when in the park and very snappy when dropping into some backcountry powder. Poplar combines perfectly with two sections of strategically-placed lighter wood zones. For even more freestyle fun, Rome added in the StraightBiax Carbon Laminate: crossed biax fibers reduce overall board weight while adding a flexible and poppy skeletal structure to the Postermania. Can't decide between abuse and speed? Not to worry; the SinterTrue Base balances absorbent strength with a glide that's fast enough for almost any rider. The Postermania is for shredders looking to expand their bag of tricks both in and out of the park, on and off the street.

At the end of a Monday afternoon I headed north, following the western side of the infamous Zuiderzeeroute, riding on top of the dike along the IJssel Lake. I was aiming to dismount at one of my favourite spots, the biggest bend on the Uitdammer Dike, separating IJssel Lake from the Kinsel Lake (which water level is several meters below that of IJssel Lake). That particular location is just a 30-40 min easy ride away from downtown Amsterdam.
You just hop on the ferry to IJplein in Amsterdam Noord and the route will take you along pretty villages and beautiful waterfronts.

Nominated for BBC's Sound of 2011, what has the past year been like?
To be honest, it's difficult to summarise. A lot has happened; recording, travelling, playing shows, thinking about the record, talking about the record, all things we'd never done to such an extent before. Being nominated was an odd experience, whilst flattering, it carries with it a certain level of expectation that none of us are entirely comfortable with.
Your artwork is well-defined, who's responsible for the creative vision?
All three of us are responsible for the aesthetic; it's of the utmost importance. Rachel specifically came up with the concept for the video. She had the idea years ago and never really considered that she may ever be in a position to realise it. We're really happy with that video because it captures and accentuates the lyrics and music.
Your sound has been described as haunting and ethereal – not necessarily words you'd associate with mainstream appeal – what does your success say about the current state of British music today?
I think that people will always be interested in music with a darker hue. We're trying to write music that's not just haunting, but also at times claustrophobic, dense, delicate and sparse. Being evocative is key. Having said that, I'm not sure whether we really appeal to the mainstream, I suppose that remains to be seen.
What kind of experience are you trying to create in your live shows?
The aim with the live show is to create something that envelops the observer. We want to generate an environment in which people can forget that they are standing in a venue, so they can be immersed in the music. That's the aim, whether we achieve it or not isn't really for us to say.
You've shared the stage with bands such as The xx and Foals – what was it like being on the road with such established artists?
It is a pleasure to have supported both of these bands; great people and musicians. We take what we can, particularly when we ventured to the USA and Canada with Foals. We don't really know what we're doing when it comes to touring on that scale, so any advice we can glean from those who know what's going on is always appreciated.
What would you like to happen for the band in 2011?
We're on tour at the moment and will be for most of the year. This is something we're pleased about; having the chance to perform the songs from the record gives us the opportunity to reconnect with them. These live forays will be interspersed with the occasional writing and recording that takes place as a matter of course.

Has anyone seen this before? Have searched, no joy so far... using FF3 to Zimbra using advanced/ajax client, printing some emails, the output is gibberish. See attached for example. I've tried two different printers, even printing using PDFCreator (which gives different results, but still not correct). Yet, if I switch to the Standard/html client, it will print just fine, no problem at all.
Seems odd, and I can seem to reproduce... for example, perhaps it is how the ajax client deals with slightly malformed html from old Groupwise or Notes mail clients? I do have the Pref/Mail/Display Mail as Text set...

Small Cool 2009: Gingerpop's Bargain Hunt
Tiny Division #30
Who Lives There: Gingerpop and Kinsey kitten
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Size: 425 square feet
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? My couch is my most recent addition, and I'm absolutely in love with it. After suffering through a year and a half of stiff, boring IKEA "couch-dom", I finally have a beautiful 1940's settee. It was a find, a bargain, and a very welcome addition to my apartment.

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home?
Working on a college student's budget, I had to learn to pace myself. I really built my apartment. I hunted for bargains, and saved for pieces I really wanted. In doing so I learned to be resourceful, and sort of hunt off the beaten path for finds.

FORT HOOD, Texas - Prosecutors asked a jury Wednesday to sentence Army Maj. Nidal Hasan to death, saying his murderous 2009 shooting spree at a military base here left tragic and devastating loss for victims and loved ones.
Nadal, a 42-year-old Army psychiatrist, was convicted last week for 13 premeditated murders and injuring 31 others during the Nov. 5, 2009, massacre.
In a powerful closing argument that took just under an hour, lead prosecutor Col. Mike Mulligan recounted each emotional and powerful story of 13 victims whose lives were cut short by Hasan.
"There's a price to be paid for the mass murder he perpetrated on 5 November -- for the lives he horrifically changed and for the pain and sorrow he wrought," Mulligan said.
"These murderous attacks left enormous carnage: 13 dead, eight widows. One widower. 12 minor children without a father, 18 parents lost children. 30 soldiers wounded. One civilian police officer. Their loss, each family -- tragic, difficult and different. For some, death was almost instantaneous. So quick, so lethal they never moved from their chair," Mulligan said.
Hasan, a Virginia-born Muslim, has previously said he was a "soldier of Allah,'' deserved martyrdom and that his attack was designed to protect Muslim insurgents abroad.
But in seeking the death penalty, Mulligan dismissed Hasan's intent.
"This is his debt to society. It is not a charitable act. He is not now and never will be a martyr. He is a criminal. He is a cold blooded murderer. On 5 November, he did not leave this earth. He remained to pay a price.He remained to pay a debt. The debt he owes is his life,'' Mulligan said.
Hasan, who acted as his own attorney during trial, declined to address the jury of 13 military officers.
"I have no closing statement,'' he said.
Mulligan said earlier that while Hasan's acts were religiously motivated, jurors shouldn't punish him for being a Muslim.
"History is replete with death in the name of religion. The acts of 5 November were religiously motivated. You should not punish him for his religion,'' Mulligan told jurors. "You should punish him for his hate. You should punish him for the action he took in the name of his religion, not for his religion."
Prosecutors rested witness testimony in the sentencing phase of the case Tuesday, with a string of victims and loved ones of those killed in the shooting massacre tearfully talking about the fallout on their lives.
A death sentence would require a unanimous verdict by the jury of 13 military officers. At minimum, Hasan faces life imprisonment.
A verdict could come within hours.

General Comments
I think the MLA document presents a very strong and clearly stated case for its proposal. I do have problems with the exact wording of the proposed changes, which I will state in the appropriate sections below. Randall, 6/10/11
The MLA proposal raises, without fully addressing, a long standing concern of mine that the body of rules for sources is unduly complicated and rife with case-law. What is needed is a concise statement that a preferred source be: 1) "Written" (as in a title page, a label on a sound disc, or title frames) (and because it is nigh impossible to transcribe something that isn't written); 2) Integral to the resource (to minimize chances it can become separated from the resource); 3) Prominent/"standard" (so that others examining the resource might reasonably come to the same conclusion as to what is the preferred source).
Within those broad principles, some illustrative examples are required to highlight their application in the context of historical practice.
Then there needs to be subordinate rules to address a number of "what if" scenarios: 1) No written source is integral to the resource; 2) The desire to substitute an unmediated source ("eye-readable") for a "standard" source that requires mediation. (The easy vs. hard option in Kevin's later comments.) 3) The desire to substitute metadata as a source for a "standard" source. 4) Prioritized alternatives if the "standard" source is absent or inadequate for describing an individual resource; 5) Prioritized alternatives if the "standard" source is absent or inadequate for describing a collective resource; 6) Conflict between "prominent" and "standard" sources.
--Myers, MARBI liaison, 2011/08/02
I wholeheartedly endorse John Myers' comments. K. Randall, 8/3/11
This seems like a good idea -- but where would it fall in Chapter 2? Should these "what if" scenarios apply to all resources? If so, I guess these new instructions would need to go in 2.2.2, perhaps as sub-instructions under "General Guidelines". Anyone have other suggestions for placement? -- Glennan (PCC liaison), 8/3/2011
Proposed Revisions
Proposal 1: RDA 22.214.171.124
The wording of the new phrase at the end of paragraph 1 seems to convey an implication that the need to find a "collective title" is a normal situation. I suggest that the new wording be revised and appear as a separate sentence, with the paragraph then reading:
"When preparing a comprehensive description for a resource issue as a single unit (e.g., a textbook in one volume, a compact disc embodying multiple works), choose a source of information identifying the resource as a whole. If the resource embodies multiple works, prefer a source that presents a collective title."
I think we should also take the opportunity to clarify 184.108.40.206, so it is obvious that section (c) also applies to multi-volume, multi-disc, multi-tape, etc. resources that don't look like they apply to (a), (b), or (c)—that is, they don't have sequential numbering or chronology and were issued all at once. The phrase "(e.g, a kit)" could lead a cataloger to think that section (c) might not apply to these resources. I suggest that the parenthetical phrase in section (c) be changed to:
"(e.g., a set containing two or more unnumbered volumes or discs, or a kit)"
--Randall, 6/10/11
At first blush, I think I'm good with Kevin's suggested language (except that "issue" in the first statement should be "issued.")
--Scharff, MusLA, 6/13/11
Also like Kevin's suggestion, and with Mark's typo correction. --Winzer, July 8, 2011
I agree with the language used here as well. Wolverton, 7/17/2011
Proposal 2: RDA 126.96.36.199
Two minor editorial changes for the record.
In the third paragraph (beginning "Treat a container ...":
1) The phrase "publishing body" does not appear elsewhere in RDA. Change to "publisher".
2) The RDA style is to use "e.g." rather than "such as", and not to use "or" in "e.g." lists. So the parenthetical should read "(e.g., a box in which a game or kit is issued, a clamshell box containing compact discs in individual jewel cases or cardboard sleeves)"
-- John Attig, 8/2/11
Proposal 2: RDA 18.104.22.168
I see two basic problems with the suggested new wording:
1) The proposed new paragraph in 126.96.36.199 starts out with "If the preferred source does not bear ..." (The following might sound like I'm belaboring the point; please indulge me.) No source inherently IS a preferred source; whatever the cataloger selects BECOMES the preferred source. Logically, the cataloger is not choosing an "acting preferred source" to stand in lieu of "the real preferred source" (as the proposed wording implies); rather, there WILL BE only one preferred source, which is chosen from sources (not chosen from "preferred sources") and is the result of following this rule. No statement in this rule should declare the existence of a preferred source; those statements belong in later rules. A better wording would be "If the title frame or frames, or title screen or screens, do [does???] not bear ..."
2) The way I read the current rule, there are two paths to choosing the preferred source. The cataloger can examine the resource in depth by looking at the actual moving image itself through a projector or monitor, etc. (the "hard path") or can take information from a permanently-affixed label (the "easy path"). The alternative in the rule is for the easy path. Everything else in the rule, including the paragraphs appearing after the alternative, seems to be for the hard path, because the determination of a lack of title frame/screen in the rest of the rule can only come about through taking the hard path. The suggested new wording for the rule helps those who are following the hard path, but does not apply to those taking the easy path. How come the easy path catalogers can't use the container, while the hard path catalogers can?
I believe that in adding to, rather than reworking, rule 184.108.40.206, Proposal 2 both needlessly complicates, and fails to carry through on, the principle behind 2.1.2. That principle is that a source presenting a collective title is preferable to a source or sources presenting only the titles of the individual works contained in the resource. The principle is already there for multi-part resources (although for some resources it is hidden in 22.214.171.124(c) and my suggestion under Proposal 1 might remedy that), and would be extended to resources in a single unit by Proposal 1.
What 188.8.131.52 needs is both simplification and a full expression (non-FRBR use of term!) of the afore-stated principle. This needs to apply to both the hard path and the easy path. I'm trying to come up with a way to do this, but it's not easy. I end up with lots of repetition throughout 220.127.116.11 if I try to get all of the necessary conditions and choices in there. If something comes to mind later, I'll post it.
--Randall, 6/10/11
I have made a slight revision to my 2nd problem statement above. (I may not be correct about the alternative not applying to the rest of the rule, in which case the rule needs even more work than I thought...) Randall, 6/10/11
Kevin's point 1: I think I can support Kevin's suggestion. I know there was a similar snaggle in the drafting of chapter 6 about choosing a preferred title where the cart was put before the horse for a while.
Kevin's point 2: Would crafting a similar sentence for the alternative to that proposed for the main rule take care of the "easy path?"
As for needless repetition and failure to articulate the 2.1.2 principle that Kevin posits, I'm not so sure. Part of the problem is that a "source that identifies the resource as a whole" includes sources that do not present collective titles, but that contain titles of all the separate components. It's not clear to me, given the non-linear nature of RDA, whether one can assume the preference for a collective-title-bearing sounce to be understood to kick in every time the phrase "source that identifies the resource as a whole" is presented. But I'll look forward to any rewrites that Kevin can suggest.
--Scharff, MusLA, 6/13/11
I find it very difficult to untangle the RDA rules for moving images, preferred sources and titles. There are a number of other problems, such as the lack of an equivalent for AACR2 1.1.G.1, which allows you to use the title frames of the most important work as the chief/preferred source.
Thinking this over, I wonder if we actually need to add anything at all to 184.108.40.206 for title frames. Since 184.108.40.206 (resource issued as a single unit), already says
"When preparing a comprehensive description for a resource issued as a single unit (e.g., a textbook in one volume), choose a source of information identifying the resource as a whole.
"If there is no source of information identifying the resource as a whole (e.g., a single videodisc containing multiple feature films but with no source of information identifying the resource as a whole), treat the sources of information identifying its individual contents as a collective source of information for the resource as a whole."
The example given seems to imply that you would already pick a source identifying the resources as a whole (container or disc label) over non-collective title frames. You don't have the problem that you have with a disc label that has a series of non-collective titles because the multiple title frames are not a single source.
So the problem would come in more with the alternative of using the disc label, where the situation equivalent to what happens so much with musical recordings is more likely to happen (although with moving images, I think it is less common). This could parallel what MLA suggested for 18.104.22.168
220.127.116.11 Alternative Use an eye-readable label bearing a title that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource (excluding accompanying textual material or a container **unless they present a collective title not found elsewhere in the resource**) in preference to the title frame or frames, or title screen or screens.
McGrath 8/1/11
In looking over 184.108.40.206, it seems to me that we might need to rethink the sequence of the instructions. Let me give what I see as an outline of the various paragraphs (loosely paraphrased):
[1] Use the title frame as the preferred source.
[1 alternative] Or use the label if you prefer.
[2] If there is no title frame, use (a) label or (b) metadata.
[3] If none of these is available, use something else.
What if we let all this stand and then add a final paragraph based on Kevin's proposal for 220.127.116.11? (This time, exact wording is proposed.)
[4] If the resource embodies multiple works, prefer a source that presents a collective title.
The same thing should probably be done at 220.127.116.11 (i.e., add the change as a final paragraph rather than integrating it into the existing instructions).
Finally, I believe that one implication of the change at 126.96.36.199 is that it needs to apply to all types of resources covered in 2.2.2; in other words, the paragraph above should also be added to 188.8.131.52. If we can't do that, then I don't see how we can make the change at 188.8.131.52.
-- John Attig, 8/2/11
John's proposal is conceptually sound, but I wonder if in practice, catalogers will stop at the first condition without considering that the presence of multiple works in a resource might make a difference. There's also all that "excluding" language to derail the cataloger from considering a container or accompanying textual material.
--Scharff, MusLA 8/2/11
I'd be interested in seeing if we could come up with language that would apply to the two different situations: the resource contains only one work vs. the resource contains multiple works. This would allow us to make a clearer distinction in the instructions to avoid the problem Mark identifies above. The problem is that I can't think of language to use instead of "work", since it's not really the FRBR definition I'm thinking of here (it's something less precise). If we could come up with language, then the basic outline could be:
[1] For resources embodying a single work
[a] Use the title frame as the preferred source.
[a alternative] Or use the label if you prefer.
[b] If there is no title frame, use (a) label or (b) metadata.
[c] If none of these is available, use something else.
[2] For resources embodying more than one work
[a] prefer a source that presents a collective title
[b] if the resource lacks a collective title, follow 22.214.171.124
- Glennan (PCC liaison), 8/2/11
I like Kathy's outline. It looks like it covers the two different situations under discussion.
-- Wolverton, 8/3/2011
I also like Kathy's outline. Winzer 8/3/2011
RDA 126.96.36.199: wording about labels and titles
I have a further problem with this instruction. There are constant references to "a title that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource". I don't want to submit this revision proposal without proposing a fix for that!
Let me throw out a rewording for discussion:
Alternative Use <insert> as the preferred source of information </insert> an eye-readable label <delete> bearing a title </delete> that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource (excluding accompanying textual material or a container) <insert> if that label bears a title </insert> <delete> in preference to the title frame or frames, or title screen or screens </delete>.
... either a) a label <delete> bearing a title </delete> that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource <insert/move> (e.g., a label on a videodisc) </insert/move> excluding accompanying textual material or a container, <insert> if that label bears a title </insert> <delete/move> (e.g., a label on a videodisc) </delete/move>.
Clear copy:
Alternative: Use as the preferred source of information an eye-readable label that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource, excluding accompanying textual material or a container, if that label bears a title. ... either a) a label that is permanently printed on or affixed to the resource (e.g., a label on a videodisc), excluding accompanying textual material or a container, if that label bears a title.
-- John Attig, 8/2/11
I'm not sure why we're still wanting to exclude containers as a preferred source. Sometimes a resource has a collective title that any normal person would take as being the title of the resource, but it appears only on the container. For example, a multi-disc DVD set consisting of discs that have previously been issued separately, but are now also collected togethe; such double-, triple-, and quadruple-feature repackaged sets are quite common, and they sometimes do have collective titles on the cases.

Many transition services are available to separating veterans, and some have been expanded for those being forced out, but we can never do enough. The military departments and Congress should act swiftly to expand services to veterans facing separation because of personnel limitations. We also should remember that the vast majority of sailors not selected for continued service by the recent Enlisted Retention Board volunteered to serve during wartime, having enlisted after 9/11. They agreed to go in harm's way if ordered, aware that such service was likely. To them we owe a debt of gratitude, and even more so to those who actually served in combat but still may be forced to separate.
There are several actions the services and Congress can take to help ease the transition for veterans who have served honorably—many that truly meet the "sustained superior performance" standard and most of the others with minor, one-time lapses—but are being forced from their careers.
First, our veterans deserve the transparency the current administration promised, which should include career-ending actions. Sailors being forced from the Navy are given absolutely no information about why they were not selected for continuation. While the administrative burden for recording and reporting these decisions would be heavy, it's the very least we owe sailors facing a much heavier, life-altering burden.
Second, they should be granted continued access to exchanges and commissaries. These facilities operate at a small but positive profit, so expanding access costs nothing. Any fears of overcrowding are belied by fewer active-duty beneficiaries using the stores.
Third, access to healthcare in military treatment facilities should be extended past the current 180-day post-separation entitlement for those separating without retirement benefits. Access should be granted for the earlier: 12 months or when the veteran secures employment offering health insurance. This benefit comes with a cost, but it is offset by less manpower resulting from the drawdown and could be further reduced with a minimal policy cost or co-pay after the already approved limit.
The most important aspect of a successful transition—especially for veterans separating unexpectedly and without benefits—is securing gainful employment. Servicemembers separated through force-shaping efforts should be given some hiring priority for federal positions to assist in this endeavor and their qualifications should be scrubbed against all existing federal openings to expedite their employment.
The need to reduce the federal budget and find personnel cost savings is hard to argue against, but veterans should not be punished in the process. The financial savings realized by service-downsizing efforts create hardships for many veterans. Some of those savings can and should be postponed so we can do more for those who served honorably but are being involuntarily forced to end their military careers.
We can never do too much for those who served our nation, and we must ease their transition to civilian life, especially when that transition is forced on them.

Brenda Schmitz died of ovarian cancer in 2011. Before she did, she wrote a letter containing three wishes. She gave that letter to her best friend with instructions to send it to her favorite radio station only after her husband remarried. Watch the video below to see how Star 102.5 in Des Moines, Iowa gave her family a Christmas they won't soon forget.
The family is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from total strangers.
Brenda's husband was a guest on the Big Ken and Colleen Show, where he heard the letter for the first time:
Brenda's wish was for some special surprises to be granted for her family, her husband's new partner, and for the men and women of Mercy Hospital who had helped care for her.
"My reason for writing is this. I have a wish. I have a wish for David, the boys, and the woman and her family if she has kids also. I want them to know I love them very much and they always feel safe in a world of pain. I was hoping that one small act you all could do for me can change and help their lives forever and they know I am with them always.
First for David's new lifelong partner. A day or better yet a weekend of pampering in all aspects of her life. Hair, makeup, body massage, clothes, shopping, spa or weekend getaway. Whatever. She deserves it. Being a step-mother to all those boys and especially giving lil' Max a "mothers love" that only she can give. Make her smile and know her efforts are truly appreciated from me. Perseverance will prevail. Thank you- I love you- whoever you are. Talk to me- you are heard. For the family- a magical trip somewhere where they all can enjoy their company and companionship as a family and create those memories that will be with them forever. Finally the cancer doctors at Mercy Hospital and nurses of 8 south. … A night out full of drinks, food and fun for all they do everyday for the cancer patients they encounter."
Here's a scan of the full letter sent to the radio station:
Brenda Schmitz
Max Schmitz
Max and his new step-mom, Jayne
The new Schmitz family.

(WXIA) - Brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev is slated to debut a new beer in a Super Bowl TV ad this year - Budweiser Black Crown.
A-B's Budweiser brand is the quintessential American beer, selling more than its four closest competitors combined, so the company decided it was time to try something new to extend their reach.
Last fall, Budweiser's "Project 12" resulted in a sampler pack of three craft-style beers that were sold in a limited edition. The project began last year with brewmasters at each of the company's 12 breweries being tasked with creating their own unique beer recipe. The beers were whittled down, first to six, then three. The favorite in product tests and in the sampler pack sold last fall was one crated by Los Angeles brewmaster Bryan Sullivan.
It was described in the Project 12 sampler pack as a deep-amber lager with higher alcohol - 6 percent - by volume than the traditional Budweiser red-label beer.
The beer is available in some areas this week, but the national roll-out will coincide with the unveiling during Super Bowl XLVII on February 3. The spot has the coveted first slot in the first quarter of the game broadcast.
