Agnes Szavay caused the first big upset on the ladies' side in Paris today knocking out third seed Venus Williams 6-0, 6-4 in the tourney's third round. In a match littered with unforced errors, the Hungarian was the steadier of the two hitting 3 more winners (13-10) and 5 fewer errors (18-23) in the match.
A day after saving a match point, V was unable to find the game that got her past Lucie Safarova in a match spanning two days. It was the second consecutive year V has gone down in the Roland Garros third round having lost to Flavia Pennetta in last year's tourney.
I guess playing 3 days in a row (plus doubles) was a tough task for V but it seems she never even came close to finding her best form while in Paris. Kudos to Agnes for taking advantage of the opportunity, grabbing the big win, and ruining my bracket.
She'll face diminutive Slovak Dominika Cibulkova for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Yay, Aggie! She is so cute, I just can't help liking her. She reminds me of Sally Field when she was young.ReplyDelete
That's right, you youngsters, Sally Field was once young and adorable.
BOOOOO, V was worn out, big time, and I never get too heartbroken when V doesnt make it in the French b/c I never expect her to win it, but I am happy that maria has a really good shot in her part of the draw now, I am watching her right now and I think she is gonna keep gettin better througout the tournament, she just needs to stop with these 3 set matches..ReplyDelete

Not only that, but I also found her a very bad loser. She wouldn't even look at Rezai with the handshakes. And I don't mind some emotions on the court but I found that she overreacted a few times after winning or losing a point. So you can tell I'm not a fan ;)ReplyDelete

Fed played great today. Especially the last 3 sets. You wan't want to be at the receiving end of those Fed forehands
Sorry, I didn't make many appearances today. But watch out in the next match.

Baseball is fun(damental)
As the Royals continue to roll, they continue to work on fundamentals. Back in Spring Training, Trey Hillman established that the basics are what this team would focus on, doing the little things right.
To find out what little things the Royals are doing now and how they are contributing to their current run of success, we go around the horn…
Two plays stand out from last night's game that help illustrate that point. Up by three, Miguel Olivo smashed a double into the right field corner, driving home Jose Guillen who was charging hard from second. Olivo beat the throw from Matt Holliday with a slide into second. The hit ended an 0-for-21 slide for the Royals catcher. What was the key of the at bat? Olivo saw 10 pitches. Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis had nothing new left to throw to Olivo. So he threw a pitch Olivo had already seen and Olivo made him pay. Francis left the game and the Royals continued to roll.
Alex Gordon deserves some props for some solid defense in the top half of the fifth. Gordon was able to turn two by simply being aware of the runner on base. Chris Iannetta was on third and Willy Taveras hit a hard bouncer straight at Gordon. Iannetta froze, like most players would, to see where the ball was going. By the time he started to turn, Gordon had quickly applied the tag and fired the ball across to first baseman Ross Gload. Gordon helped out his pitcher Brian Bannister hold down the damage and quickly put the Royals in a more manageable situation with two outs and one runner on base.
Both plays were small in comparison to the 8-4 final score, but take them away and who knows what might have happened.
The team is having fun right now. Of course, winning will do that. But in the Royals' eighth, Ross Gload hit his first homer since the beginning of September last year. The bench let him know when he got back. Normally the home run hitter finds a dugout full of high-fives awaiting his return. Gload found silence and no one really paying attention to him. The whole bench stiffed him and he was left hanging. But only for a few seconds. The team burst into laughter and Gload got his credit.
Today after a regular pitcher's fielding practice (PFP) session, about 10 players along with Trey Hillman and Bob McClure started playing a quick-throw game of catch. "The Play-Catch" drill, as MLB.com reported earlier this season, is designed to work on the most basic fundamentals of the game, throwing and catching the baseball. Players scatter around the infield dirt and fire the ball to one-another as quickly as possible. There is no set pattern to throw in. The only rules, don't drop it, throw as quickly as you can and try not to hit the guy standing on the mound in the head. The infielders played it earlier this season and went nine or 10 minutes without dropping the ball in the fast-paced game.
Today was the pitchers turn. They didn't last as long, but they seemed to be having fun. And so were the onlookers. Catcher John Buck could be seen just smiling and shaking his head watching the drill near the first base line, while Miguel Olivo stood near the dugout counting
as each ball was caught and laughing as the pitchers scooped and fired. Infielders, for the most part, try not to put any movement on the balls they throw. However, pitchers want life. That can make a throwing drill a little complicated when 6-foot-5 sinkerballer Luke Hochevar lets one fly. Trey Hillman bent and caught one at his ankles and with a smile, yelled "Hoch is throwin' sinkers over here."
Over the last ten games, the Royals are 8-2…It's no coincidence that David DeJesus and Mike Aviles continue to be an offensive force, scoring 18 runs, totaling 28 hits (15 for extra bases, with five being homers) and knocking in 20…The Royals claimed right-handed pitcher Robinson Tejeda off waivers from the Rangers this afternoon, moving John Bale to the 60-day D.L. to make room on the 40-man with another move imminent on the 25-man when Tejeda joins the team, probably tomorrow…Notes from Trey Hillman's pre-press conference: Mark Grudzielanek is still out with a sore back and is day-to-day…Trey's assessment on the Royals' newest pitcher in two words: power arm.
We covered Joakim Soria yesterday but failed to mention that he's a "cover boy". Soria is on the cover of Royals Gameday Magazine from June 20 to July 23. Gameday is sold throughout Kauffman Stadium or by calling 1-800-6-Royals and is a monthly 128-page magazine containing insight and inside information on the Royals.
Tonight is the middle game of the Rockies series and a special note should be made that this is their first-ever trip to Kansas City. As we mentioned yesterday, manager Clint Hurdle and bench coach Jamie Quirk are Royals alums. Quirk is a Kansas City resident in the offseason and Hurdle is making his first trip back to K.C. since 1981.
We bring them up again because Quirk is also making an appearance in Gameday this month, under the feature about a Royals alum.
Question for you all tonight… Which Royals alum are you curious about?
DeJesus CF
Aviles 2B
Gordon 3B
Guillen LF
Olivo DH
Teahen RF
Buck C
Gload 1B
Pena SS

Here's a Royal alum I'm curious about: George Spriggs. The book "Satchel Paige and Company" lists Mr. Spriggs as the only person to have played for both the Kansas City Monarchs (1959-60) and Royals (1969-70). The Monarchs weren't really based out of Kansas City anymore in 1959-60, so he may never have actually played a game in KC with the Monarchs. But an interview with Mr. Spriggs about his memories of being with the Monarchs and the Royals would be great.

Allegrini Valpolicella Classico 2007
Allegrini Valpolicella Classico 2007 is a perfect example of Valpolicella done right and at a fair price. A great example of its type, Allegrini Valpolicella Classico 2007 will be a terrific accompaniment to a summers picnic and saw me through an afternoon re-run of the Formula One GP, a perfect wine to relax with.
Allegrini are one of the top producers in the Veneto and one of my personal favourites (you'll notice them mentioned a few times on the blog). They are pioneers in the area and produce some exceptional wines including a blend "La Grola" (Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, Syrah and Sangiovese) and a 100% Corvina wine "La Poja" that regularly scoop all the top scores and awards as well as a magnificent Amarone of which I like to keep a magnum or two in the house at all times.
Allegrini Valpolicella Classico 2007 - BUY - £7.75
A striking ruby red in the glass the wine is hugely aromatic and attacks your nostrils as you uncork the wine. Lively notes of glazed cherry and herbs on the nose with a light-mid bodied palate with some cherry fruit on the mid-palate. The wine has good acidity and is a typical Valpolicella Classico with a bitter note on the finish. 86 Points
Where can I buy this wine?
Americans - The Wine Buyer - $11.99
Europeans - Superiore - €7.90
Brits - AG Wines - £7.75

Your perfect summer wine?
Suavia Soave Classico
Suavia have had a mega couple of years with their Soave Classicos scooping WineSpectator and Gambero Rosso awards. Suavia produce only Soave wines and with 4 very different Soaves (2 you can see in the episode below, a further oaked Soave Classico and a Recioto di Soave) they seem on the fast track to joining the other kings of Soave, Inama, Pieropan, Gini and Anselmi. Watch the video below to see how their entry level Soave Classico and Tre Bicchiere award winning "Monte Carbonare" faired.
Hows that for some crazy titles?
I really can't recommend these wines highly enough. This is real quality wine for £7 and £11 and represents the very best of Italian white wine value. Its common knowledge that the southern whites, the Fianos and Falanghinas have come on in great strides over the last 5-10 years but that you can get this level of quality from Soave for £10 is something worth shouting about. Please go out and try these wines. Then come back here and let me know what you thought. Do it now :)
Suavia Soave Classico 2008 - BUY - £7
A straw yellow colour with green hues the wine is generously aromatic with a strong note of nettles as well as wet rocks and grapefruit. On the palate the structure is elegant with great acidity and fruit balance producing a fresh and lively wine, really cutting acidity. A good length dry finish completes a brilliant example of Soave. 90 Points
Suavia Soave Classico "Monte Carbonare" 2007 - BUY - £11
A darker straw yellow with good intensity. On the nose the wine has a nutty character but the over-riding pineapple and apricot fruit shine through, earth and mineral notes combine to give this wine a multi-dimensional personality on the nose. The palate is luscious and full with a tropical flavour continuing with strong apricots on the mid palate and a fruity generous finish. Less cutting but still fresh and lively. Top quality Soave. 92 Points
Where can I buy this wine?
Both Soaves can be bought at the UK retailer Bibendum
Both Soaves can be bought at European retailer Superiore
The Soave Classico can be bought at SuperwineWarehouse and the Monte Carbonare at Winerz in the USA.

Both these Soave wines come from 50 year old vines yet Suavia don't mention that fact. Most producers with old vines will make a point of letting their customers know this. Why is it that Suavia are not making a fuss over this? Are 50 year old vines par for the course in Soave? Does vine age matter less with Gargenega?
Any general comments about Soave or bullfrogs are welcome :)
Joachim Heger Spatburgunder Q 2005
Joachim Heger Spatburgunder Q (Baden) doesn't leap to mind as a wine for a dreary Good Friday in SW London for it really isn't a wine for that occasion but this was "Foreign Friday" and I'd just taken delivery of this interesting Spatburgunder!
This really is a wine for food suited perfectly to chinese foods like Peking Duck or Sweet and Sour Pork but not to drink on its own as its far too acidic and lacking in character on the palate.
Joachim Heger Spatburgunder Q 2005 - PASS - £11
Light garnet red colour with a beautifully perfumed nose of roses, cinnamon, cherry stones and cranberries. On the palate the wine is light bodied with very high acidity, no real fruit but is soft and easy drinking, lack complexity. 80 Points
80 Points is really low for a wine of this price but this is a food wine, with food, this wine could score considerably higher.

Just a Quickie
Well, a quick blog entry post and not a quick video. Here I am with the winesleuth tasting two wines that are outside my usual Italian remit. Two 2005 Chardonnays, one from the Macon and one from California. Both these wines were really enjoyable and I'd buy both again.

Cheese and wine. Which food combinations go best in your house?
Tusk N Red
You gotta love the name Tusk N Red, so called because its kinda 00's funky but also because its a Californian wine with a touch of Sangiovese. Tusk N Red is from Mendocino county, north of Sonoma, and has a bevvy of grapes in the blend including Zinfandel, Syrah, Petit Syrah, Carignane and Sangiovese. Check out the video below to see how Tusk N Red fared against a real Tuscan Red, the Fattoria il Pupille Morellino di Scansano.
Not really a fair fight as Fattoria il Pupille is a top class producer of Morellino di Scansano. Neither of these wines were bad for the price though the MdS is clearly the better made, better structured wine with the Tusk N Red being a very quaffable, fun, easy drinking effort and, actually doing a fairly good job in aping a Tuscan red.
Mendocino Wine Co. Tusk N Red 2004 - BORDERLINE - £9
A light purple colour in the glass with a forward nose of dark cherries, plums, chocolate and herbs. A soft supple palate with high acidity and low tannins, a food wine of medium body that is easy drinking and enjoyable but not special. Borderline Buy/Pass. 86 Points
Le Pupille Morellino di Scansano 2006 - BUY - £12
A dark red/light purple in the glass with typical notes of cherry with blackberry, plum and earthy notes playing back up. On the palate the wine carries good fruit through to a mid length finish on a well structured wine that could probably do with some time out of the bottle. Chewy tannins, but a rounded wine and a good priced example of MdS. 90 Points

Americans - Fame Wines - $11 (half) or PlanetofWine - $17

Any opinions on either of these wines or Morellino di Scansano welcome. Favourite fake accent ever? Daphne from Frasier? Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins? I gotta come close!
Casa Catelli> Casa Catelli Vlog #1
Casa Catelli are a producer specialising in southern Italian wines. Casa Catelli have vineyards throughout the south and produce fair priced, youthful, entry level Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Negroamaro, Primitivo, Nero d'Avola and Aglianico wines.
So here it is. After 18 months of threatening to produce the Vlogs here is the very first one, no expense spared direct from my kitchen. No famous producers, nothing from the Piedmont and not even wines from the Cellar Door, I thought I'd start the Vlog with something new and affordable and both these wines turned out to be decent value for money and the Primitivo; actually rather good. If you ignore the sunlight streaming into my eyes and the cars beeping their horns outside you'd almost believe we were in BBC television centre and not one of the busiest roads in Wimbledon - home to the tennis, the wombles and me.
Casa Catelli Primitivo 2004 - BUY - £9
A dark and intense ruby red in the glass the wine is big on aromatics producing a knock out nose of plum jam, strawberries, spices and a floral note. On the palate the wine has good structure easily holding its 14% alcohol, is mid bodied with good fruit continuing throughout. The finish is of a good length, a very complete wine but an atypical example of the variety. 88 Points
Casa Catelli Nero d'Avola 2005 - PASS - £8
Vibrant ruby red colour with an interesting strawberry custard note on the nose. Mid bodied wine with a smooth and fruity initial attack, on the mid palate a bitter licorice note appears that continues through to the finish which is watery and uninspired. Not an unpleasant tasting wine, easy drinking and interesting but not a quality Nero d'Avola. Better examples out there for £8. 85 Points

What are you drinking out of southern Italy? How am I going to get the scratches out of my table from the aggressive swirling?
Bisol Prosecco
Bisol Prosecco holds the fine honour of being the subject matter of the very first Wine90 Vlog. Its taken 18 months, 150 posts and a few non-violent threats but here, finally, is the first Vlog edition and what better way to start the Wine90 Vlogs than with Italys finest sparkling wine Prosecco, from one of the best producers of Prosecco, Bisol.
Château Léoville Poyferré
The wines of Château Léoville Poyferré hold such a place in my wine heart that I can't quite believe its taken two years for me to feature the estate. Château Léoville Poyferré count among my Top 10 favourite non Italian producers for creating approachable, sensual, fruit forward Bordeaux at a fair price, especially considering the name and classification. Possibly down to the high percentage of Merlot in the Poyferre compared to the Las Cases and Barton, the Poyferre, in my experience, drinks well from under the gun and, except in key vintages, the prices are very attractive.
Twas not always the case. Regarded as the third Leoville of the "super seconds" the reputation of Léoville Poyferré languished well behind Las Cases and Barton for much of the 60', 70's and to a less obvious degree the 80's too. Great strides have been made at the estate over the past 20 years and while the trend is actually to reduce the Merlot and style Poyferre in the image of the other Leoville properties no one can argue with the quality and value coming from Poyferre as it stands today. The recent increases in new oak and later harvests have added weight to Poyferre allowing them to stand amongst the very best from St Julien.
I'll go Poyferre in almost any situation calling for Bordeaux and have consistently enjoyed the vintages of the last 10 years, especially the 00', '03 and '04, with '04 one of the best value Bordeaux wines in that £30 price range and '03 hard to come by thanks to 98 Parker points.
Château Léoville Poyferré is a second growth St Julien property producing three wines, the grand vin, "Chateau Leoville Poyferre", the second wine "Chateau Moulin Riche" and the third label "Pavillon de Connectable". A historically significant producer, there has been wine production here since 1638, Poyferre was the largest vineyard in the Medoc at the time of the French Revolution, qualified as a 2nd growth in the 1855 classifications and in 1920 was bought by the Cuvelier family who still own the property today.
The grand vin is currently a 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc blend. The grapes at Poyferre are hand picked and sorted. The lush, opulent style of the wine is helped along by 50% malolactic fermentation in barrel with 75% new oak for 18-20 months. The Moulin Riche, Poyferres second label is also a savvy purchase, less expensive than the grand vin the Moulin Riche is partly rejected grand vin and partly wine coming from a second, separate property. At half the price this wine can be hit and miss but in certain key vintages can provide real value for money. Look out for the '00 and '05.
Léoville Poyferré 2004 - BUY - €40
Lovely deep red in the glass. My bottle came out of the fridge in a tiny restaurant in the Marias so the nose was almost impossible to decipher. Some definite vanilla, cherry and a hint of smoke on the nose. Super mouth feel, really firm and fruity, great tannins, rounded and opulent. 92 Points
Léoville Poyferré 2003 - BUY - €90
Blazing hot '03 created one of the best Poyferre wines of all time. A deep ruby red, full bodied and thick. On the nose the wine is a mesmerizing blend of sweet cassis, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pencil notes and minerals. Luscious mouth feel, a dense wine that treads that line between strength and finesse, superb balance, strong, firm tannins and a long fruity finish. 94 Points
Léoville Poyferré 2001 - PASS - €40
Dark ruby red with a less Poyferre than usual nose, more obvious oak this time but a smoke/graphite note too. Great on the palate mid-full bodied with low acidity and firm tannins. Really obvious dark cherries on the palate and a nice length to the finish. 90 Points
Léoville Poyferré 1996 - BUY - €60
Ruby red, a touch brown towards the edge. A fine nose, graphite, tobacco, smoke and black currents come together to create a fabulous profile of this wine on the nose which flows into the palate. A full bodied wine, the structure here strikes you first, soft tannins, full bodied, complex with lasting cherry notes. Strong lengthy finish to an opulent and smooth wine. 94 Points

(UPDATED) PHOTO OP: Nole + Kolya bask in the afterglow, share shirtless MOMA
Novak Djokovic + Nikolay Davydenko shared a shirtless, and most likely sweaty, MOMA moment at the net after their opening round robin match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.
The Serb continued his winning ways edging out Kolya 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 and earning his 11th straight win. It was a match full of long, intense rallies but Nole's confidence pushed him past the finish line as the Russian offered up errors in the crucial moments of the final set.
Afterwards the pair met at the net and exchanged shirts to commemorate their battle - and to entertain us of course. I mean, how could you not be? *licks chops*
UPDATE: Looks like the MOMA didn't do much for A-Rod who was sitting in the audience. Damn you Brooklyn.

Apparently the t-shirts exchange was initiated by Kolya, as he told in the press conference, because a friend of him was Novak's fan and asked him for the favour. Such a great intense match, good for both players! Go Nole and win the whole thing!ReplyDelete

The Work on this map showed me alot about composition and Styles, how to combine traditional handwork with electronical Tools and How to create a streamlined Design for a fantasy Worldmap. From the Beginning I didnt want to start small and tried all my best into a Map that have been hounting my mind since a very long time. Of course the map have still some flaws like the Mismatching trees and other minor details, but it is another step forward into the crafts of mapmaking. I am very honored by the Featuremap Award of the Cartographer Guild, but in recieving this honor, I also want to say how greatful I am for all the Help that I got as a new member of this community and also to acknowledge all the hard work that the ones who stand before me in this spot, to make this community work.
Original Post
"Ok, my first map ever in this digital style. I have done some textures on handdrawn stuff before, but never something in this scale. Its more or less 2m^2 big. It was always a dream of mine to realy bring all the maps of Arden together to form this map. I started playing RPGs more than 20 Years ago and this world was there from the first day and walked along my side for the most part of my life. In the progress I have learned a lot about patient, ok I admit it, also about frustration. I have always be a person who cant wait to finish up things, but this map sure neede its time. I am very grateful to all those excellent Map tutorials and inspirations. Espacialy I have to thank Diamond, Tilt, Tear, Coyotemax and a lot more for the beoutiful works on display on Cartographersguild.
Ok I dont realy know what to say more. I am happy the map is finished and that I can go on to start the next one."

2013 AMSOIL/Street Rodder Road Tour - Leg 4Written by on February 7, 2014 The Autopalooza.org Road Tour from Bonneville to the Woodward Dream Cruise
While the word "autopalooza" may very well describe our summer on the AMSOIL/Street Rodder Road Tour, there actually is a website called Autopalooza.org. It is where you can find all the cruises, car events, and automotive happenings that take place in the Southeast Michigan area. Since this includes the Motor City itself, Detroit, the list of activities is huge. One of the largest and most famous is the Woodward Dream Cruise that takes place one weekend in August every year in Southeast Michigan. The 2013 Autopalooza.org Road Tour started at the opening weekend of the Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week, way out west in Wendover, Utah. While our ultimate destination was the Dream Cruise and all the activities surrounding the event, our travels across the country were exciting as well.
After a 450-mile drive on Monday we arrived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for the evening. We were greeted in Cheyenne by the folks from the Cheyenne Rods and Customs and Cheyenne Classic Chevys. They had spread the word and over 100 rods and classics turned out to meet us. Tuesday we were pounding the pavement again and after a 500-mile drive we landed in Omaha. Diane and Andy Anderson invited us to visit their Gas Pump Heaven facility for a tour and a cookout. Diane and Andy are longtime street rodders and also manufacture gas pump and gas station–related items that we all wanted to take home and put in our own garages.
It was a short drive on Wednesday to our lunch stop in Des Moines, Iowa, and a visit to the brand-new Karl Performance facility. A division of Karl Chevrolet, the performance facility is huge and covers all aspects of our hobby, including complete paint and upholstery areas. We were all intrigued by their conversions that re-body brand-new Corvettes with the iconic body styling of the early '60s Corvettes. After lunch at Karl's we continued on to the Joliet, Illinois, area to relax a little and get our cars cleaned up after those long days on the highway.
We arrived at the Gilmore Auto Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, which is just north of Kalamazoo by noon on Thursday. The Gilmore is unlike any car museum we have visited over the years. The display buildings are located on acres of manicured grass in a horse farm–like setting. Each building contains a different style of classic vehicles, special-interest cars, and motorcycles. A new exhibit is the "American Legends-Hot Rods and Customs" that was put together by Dennis Lesky of Ionia Hot Rod Shop. This temporary display is one you will want to see while it is still at the Gilmore.
We arrived in Detroit on Thursday evening. It had been a jam-packed trip from Bonneville but there was more in store in the Motor City area. Friday morning we enjoyed coffee and doughnuts with the folks at Dynotech Engineering. We got a behind-the-scenes look at how they manufacture the driveshafts that are used in a wide range of applications from NASCAR vehicles to our own Road Tour cars. From Dynotech we headed to the Stahls Automotive Foundation collection. Assembled by car enthusiast Ted Stahls, the collection contains a wide range of classic and special-interest vehicles in a beautiful display area. With the help of many volunteers Ted Stahls shares his collection with everyone who has an interest in these classic beauties.
By noon we were on our way to a true piece of history for car enthusiasts. Located in Shelby Township, the Packard Proving Grounds Historical Site was originally opened in 1927 by the Packard Motor Car Company at a cost of $1 million to serve as a test track and proving grounds. Closed after World War II the grounds changed hands and most of the track area itself was sold. In 2002 the grounds were turned over by then-owner Ford Motor Company to a group of dedicated Packard and classic car enthusiasts. The original buildings are being persevered and restored and we were even able to park our vehicles in front of the original garages on the grounds.
Each year on Friday evening of the Woodward Dream Cruise Weekend the city of Berkeley hosts a huge cruise of its own. Many of our Autopalooza.org Road Tourians participated. By Saturday the day had finally arrived. Saturday is the official day of the Woodward Dream Cruise and 13 miles of Woodward Avenue are jammed with vehicles cruising, hundreds of thousands of folks walking the sidewalks, and displays and vendors fill every patch of asphalt in sight. It really is an automotive circus that every car enthusiast should take part in at some point in their lives. Stay tuned as we may just head back to the Dream Cruise in 2014 for another Week on Woodward.
It was a great week on the Autopalooza.org Road Tour. Go to the Road Tour section of streetrodder.com to see the expanded coverage and to check out the complete 2014 Road Tour schedule.

It had been a great trip but the Woodward Dream Cruise was just getting started.Diane and Andy Anderson not only own Gas Pump Heaven in Omaha, they are rodders too. They posed with their '32 Ford roadster in front of some of their cool nostalgia gas station items.The newest building on the ever-expanding Gilmore grounds is the Model A Ford Museum. This building is filled with examples of that important Ford model that was built from 1928 to 1931.Karl Performance has recently opened in Des Moines, IA. The huge facility is part of the Karl Chevrolet group of auto dealerships. They are a full service build shop for all types of special-interest vehicles.Sarah and Chuck Warren were presented the Golden Shine Award. They had traveled with us on both the Speedway Tour and the Autopalooza.org Tour and kept their '54 Ford cleaned up and shining the entire time.One of the biggest events of the Woodward Dream Cruise weekend is the Friday night Berkeley Cruise. Almost 500 vehicles were staged at 5 p.m. and rolled through the town of Berkeley in front of thousands of appreciative onlookers.We visited the historic Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Township north of Detroit. This was home to the test track of the Packard Motor Company during their golden years of the '30s. The architecture was amazing.

Carrollton Public Library Receives Grants for Digitization of Local History Materials
Carrollton, TX –The Carrollton Public Library received two grants for digitization of local history materials.
The first project to digitize the records of Union Baptist Church, the first Baptist congregation in Dallas County, organized in 1846, is made possible by a grant of $1,279 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (2014). The records span from the late 1800s to the 1990s. The earliest record book, a handwritten ledger from 1870, was digitized by the University of North Texas (UNT) a few years ago, and the work for this grant will be completed by staff at UNT's Willis Library.
A second grant of $1,000, also made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, is for "work in kind" to digitize 4-5 rolls of microfilm of the local newspaper The Carrollton Chronicle from 1904 through 1994. Work for this grant will also be completed by staff at UNT's Willis Library.
Digitized files from both projects will be accessible through the Portal to Texas History, a website maintained by UNT at http://texashistory.unt.edu/. These grants make it possible to make more records available to historians and genealogists everywhere.
For more information, contact Lynette Jones, Branch Library Manager, at 972-466-4814 or visit either Carrollton Public Library at 1700 Keller Springs Road or 4220 N. Josey Lane, or online at cityofcarrollton.com/library.

|School 1-to-1 device still in study mode
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Putting a computer device such as an iPad or laptop into each student's hands in Holyoke School District Re-1J continues in study mode. This was reported by Principal Kyle Stumpf for the district's Technology Committee at the Wednesday, April 23 school board meeting.
A year ago, the Technology Committee visited schools in Goodland, Kan., to look at successful 1-to-1 device programs. The committee received the message "to be continued" last April.
Since then, the committee researched different devices that could be used in such a 1-to-1 program. Two vendors presented information about three devices: iPad, Windows-based tablet and a general laptop.
Recently the committee created a 10-question survey for staff members. Stumpf reported that 60 percent of the staff is behind a 1-to-1 initiative, while 40 percent is not.
While the Technology Committee feels they're moving in the right direction, members don't feel the staff percentage support is high enough to move forward this coming year.
The committee also expressed the need for an additional information technology person in the district as they move forward. Stumpf noted that the projected 65 days of testing next year is a big concern for one IT person to handle as use of the computers for testing increases.
The staff survey also suggested that the district continue to build and utilize the technology in place before looking at a 1-to-1 initiative. Stumpf said they want to make sure the infrastructure is OK.
Overall, technology needs to remain a priority in the school district. The tech committee's goal is to implement 1-to-1 devices in the next few years but to do it correctly.
Superintendent Bret Miles said he feels good about this process as the committee slows down and digs through the data.
Questioned about textbook purchases being suspended in recent years, Miles emphasized that was not done as a result of using technology for texts. Rather, it resulted from cuts needed because of the negative factor.
Standard of Excellence survey reviewed
District perception survey results were presented to the board last week by Standard of Excellence Committee chair Tiffany Watson.
She noted that this is the fifth year for the survey, and it was done on SurveyMonkey for the first time. Laptops were set up at parent-teacher conferences so that parents could respond right there. Results were returned much faster as a result.
Parents, staff and students were surveyed, and the committee spent two meetings reviewing the data, said Watson.
Overall, the data was very positive. The committee reviewed the percentage responses for the four answer options to each question. Options were: strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree.
Watson said they looked at areas that were negative to make suggestions for focus groups to look at, but the negatives were very low numbers. She noted that the committee could see improvement in areas that were highlighted for review in past years.
Two new questions were added to the survey, but otherwise it was consistent with last year's.
From here, the concern areas will go to focus groups with students. Based on survey results, Watson said the committee recommends that focus groups look at the academic opportunity center and its perception and goal.
Watson reiterated that the committee is just reporting on the positive negatives, meaning the lows are not devastatingly low but are what's being reported as the negatives. The overall data report is very positive. Focus groups are helping to make positive changes, she added.
PIE carnival is tremendous success
Also reporting on the April 11 Partners in Education carnival, Watson said the change of venue to the Event Center was very positive, with profit more than doubling from last year.
PIE will be giving $5,000 back to the school, with $4,500 in several grants that teachers are currently applying for and a $250 donation grant to each building.
2A basketball playoff structure being debated
Board member Jon King reported that the Colorado High School Activities Association Legislative Council voted at its April 17 meeting to change the structure of the 2A basketball playoffs.
However, athletic directors throughout the state are looking to make a plea to retain the structure that has been used for several years. They will be meeting in September to attempt to get the decision amended. The Legislative Council will then vote next January, with their decision to be in effect for the 2015 playoff season.
Other business
In other business April 23, the Re-1J board:
—accepted the resignation from Josh Rahe as the JR/SR High language arts teacher.
—enjoyed presentations from two 21st Century Skills class projects for community service. Eva Penzing, Kaetlynne Overton and Sean Asplin told about the Senior Senior Prom project. Malena McWilliams and Kaely Zilla reported on their hunger-fight project which included making and selling a cookbook.
—approved a resolution proclaiming May 5-9 as National Teacher Appreciation Week.
—designated board members Kim Killin and Jon King to hand out diplomas at graduation.
—heard a Rural Agility Project update from Miles. He said he believes interest is picking up in the project to find potential solutions to rural education challenges. The eastern Colorado working group now includes seven school districts and three BOCES units, and there is also a Western Slope group.

New Math is an attempt to quantify the world using words and basic math.
New Math is an attempt to quantify the world using words and basic math.
A rock structure, built deep underground, is one of the earliest hominin constructions ever found.
In February 1990, thanks to a 15-year-old boy named Bruno Kowalsczewski, footsteps echoed through the chambers of Bruniquel Cave for the first time in tens of thousands of years.
The cave sits in France's scenic Aveyron Valley, but its entrance had long been sealed by an ancient rockslide. Kowalsczewski's father had detected faint wisps of air emerging from the scree, and the boy spent three years clearing away the rubble. He eventually dug out a tight, thirty-meter-long passage that the thinnest members of the local caving club could squeeze through. They found themselves in a large, roomy corridor. There were animal bones and signs of bear activity, but nothing recent. The floor was pockmarked with pools of water. The walls were punctuated by stalactites (the ones that hang down) and stalagmites (the ones that stick up).
A Brexit advocate says U.S. support for the EU fundamentally misreads what the institution has become.
With less than a month until British citizens vote on whether the U.K. should stay in or leave the European Union, Americans could be forgiven for being preoccupied with their own political dramas. Still, President Obama conspicuously weighed in on the British debate in April, writing in The Daily Telegraph "with the candour of a friend" that the vote's outcome would be "of deep interest to the United States." Specifically: "The U.S. and the world need your outsized influence to continue—in Europe."
British voters themselves aren't so convinced. Polls currently show the "Remain" side in the lead, but the outcome is by no means assured. Advocates of continued U.K. membership in the 28-member political and economic bloc have argued that exiting the organization would severely damage the British economy; diminish the U.K.'s international influence; and destabilize a European continent already wracked by a refugee crisis and economic problems. Those advocating for a so-called Brexit—the "Leave" camp—argue that it would liberate the U.K. from onerous regulations devised and enforced by non-representative foreign bodies based in Brussels. (EU bodies set policy for member states on, among other things, trade, agriculture, and some fiscal matters; member states generally retain control over their own foreign and defense policies. Britain specifically has negotiated the ability to opt out of certain EU-wide policies, particularly on immigration and further political integration.) With its sovereignty thus restored, the U.K. would be better able to handle its own economic, immigration, and other challenges.
The day—a celebration of corporate conformity disguised as a celebration of individuality—helped to bring about the current dominance of "business casual."
The New York Times ran a story Wednesday announcing "The End of the Office Dress Code." The suit and its varied strains, the article argues—corporate uniforms that celebrate, well, corporate uniformity—are giving way to more individualized interpretations of "office attire." As the writer Vanessa Friedman puts it, "We live in a moment in which the notion of a uniform is increasingly out of fashion, at least when it comes to the implicit codes of professional and public life."
It's true. We live in a time in which our moguls dress in hoodies and t-shirts, and in which more and more workers are telecommuting—working not just from home, but from PJs. It's a time, too, when the lines between "work" and "everything else" are increasingly—and sometimes frustratingly—fluid. And so: It's also a time when many of us are trying to figure out, together, what "work clothes" actually means, and the extent to which the term might vary across professions. As Emma McClendon, who curated a new exhibit on uniforms for the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, summed it up: "We are in a very murky period."
Washington voters handed Hillary Clinton a primary win, symbolically reversing the result of the state caucus where Bernie Sanders prevailed.
Washington voters delivered a bit of bad news for Bernie Sanders's political revolution on Tuesday. Hillary Clinton won the state's Democratic primary, symbolically reversing the outcome of the state's Democratic caucus in March where Sanders prevailed as the victor. The primary result won't count for much since delegates have already been awarded based on the caucus. (Sanders won 74 delegates, while Clinton won only 27.) But Clinton's victory nevertheless puts Sanders in an awkward position.
Sanders has styled himself as a populist candidate intent on giving a voice to voters in a political system in which, as he describes it, party elites and wealthy special-interest groups exert too much control. As the primary election nears its end, Sanders has railed against Democratic leaders for unfairly intervening in the process, a claim he made in the aftermath of the contentious Nevada Democratic convention earlier this month. He has also criticized superdelegates—elected officials and party leaders who can support whichever candidate they chose—for effectively coronating Clinton.
Narcissism, disagreeableness, grandiosity—a psychologist investigates how Trump's extraordinary personality might shape his possible presidency.
In 2006, Donald Trump made plans to purchase the Menie Estate, near Aberdeen, Scotland, aiming to convert the dunes and grassland into a luxury golf resort. He and the estate's owner, Tom Griffin, sat down to discuss the transaction at the Cock & Bull restaurant. Griffin recalls that Trump was a hard-nosed negotiator, reluctant to give in on even the tiniest details. But, as Michael D'Antonio writes in his recent biography of Trump, Never Enough, Griffin's most vivid recollection of the evening pertains to the theatrics. It was as if the golden-haired guest sitting across the table were an actor playing a part on the London stage.
"It was Donald Trump playing Donald Trump," Griffin observed. There was something unreal about it.
Americans persist in thinking that Adam Smith's rules for free trade are the only legitimate ones. But today's fastest-growing economies are using a very different set of rules. Once, we knew them—knew them so well that we played by them, and won. Now we seem to have forgotten
IN Japan in the springtime of 1992 a trip to Hitotsubashi University, famous for its economics and business faculties, brought me unexpected good luck. Like several other Japanese universities, Hitotsubashi is almost heartbreaking in its cuteness. The road from the station to the main campus is lined with cherry trees, and my feet stirred up little puffs of white petals. Students glided along on their bicycles, looking as if they were enjoying the one stress-free moment of their lives.
They probably were. In surveys huge majorities of students say that they study "never" or "hardly at all" during their university careers. They had enough of that in high school.
I had gone to Hitotsubashi to interview a professor who was making waves. Since the end of the Second World War, Japanese diplomats and businessmen have acted as if the American economy should be the model for Japan's own industrial growth. Not only should Japanese industries try to catch up with America's lead in technology and production but also the nation should evolve toward a standard of economic maturity set by the United States. Where Japan's economy differed from the American model—for instance, in close alliances between corporations which U.S. antitrust laws would forbid—the difference should be considered temporary, until Japan caught up.
But we're better off believing in it anyway.
For centuries, philosophers and theologians have almost unanimously held that civilization as we know it depends on a widespread belief in free will—and that losing this belief could be calamitous. Our codes of ethics, for example, assume that we can freely choose between right and wrong. In the Christian tradition, this is known as "moral liberty"—the capacity to discern and pursue the good, instead of merely being compelled by appetites and desires. The great Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant reaffirmed this link between freedom and goodness. If we are not free to choose, he argued, then it would make no sense to say we ought to choose the path of righteousness.
Today, the assumption of free will runs through every aspect of American politics, from welfare provision to criminal law. It permeates the popular culture and underpins the American dream—the belief that anyone can make something of themselves no matter what their start in life. As Barack Obama wrote in The Audacity of Hope, American "values are rooted in a basic optimism about life and a faith in free will."
What's harder to believe: that it took a year for Andrea Constand to accuse the star of sexual assault, or that it's taken 11 years and dozens more women coming forward for those accusations to be heard in court?
"Why did you wait so long to report?"
That's the question that Bill Cosby's lawyer Bruce McMonagle reportedly said he'd have asked Andrea Constand if she'd been at the Tuesday hearing where a judge decided her accusations of sexual assault by the comedian will, finally, be tried in criminal court.
To date, more than 50 women have accused Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct. Constand was the first. In January of 2005 she told police that a year earlier, Cosby had touched and penetrated her after drugging her. A prosecutor decided against proceeding with the case, and Constand followed up with a civil suit that resulted in a 2006 settlement. After that came an accelerating drip of women making allegations about incidents spanning a wide swath of Cosby's career, from Kristina Ruehli (1965) to Chloe Goins (2008).
The U.S. president talks through his hardest decisions about America's role in the world.
Friday, August 30, 2013, the day the feckless Barack Obama brought to a premature end America's reign as the world's sole indispensable superpower—or, alternatively, the day the sagacious Barack Obama peered into the Middle Eastern abyss and stepped back from the consuming void—began with a thundering speech given on Obama's behalf by his secretary of state, John Kerry, in Washington, D.C. The subject of Kerry's uncharacteristically Churchillian remarks, delivered in the Treaty Room at the State Department, was the gassing of civilians by the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.
While fish are disappearing from the oceans, squid, octopus, and cuttlefish populations have been rising since the 1960s. Why?
Every winter in Spencer Gulf, a large inlet intruding into Australia's south coast, hundreds of thousands of giant cuttlefish gather to breed. They're about the size and weight of a corgi, with ever-changing displays of shadow and colour rippling across their dynamic skins. At the height of the breeding season, these amorous, multi-armed, living rainbows can get so numerous that there's one of them in every square meter of water.
But lately, these mating swarms have dwindled to a small fraction of their former glory, and no one knows why. Pollution, warming waters, and a dearth of prey are all possibilities. But Bronwyn Gillanders from the University of Adelaide suspected that the decline might just be part of a natural cycle, a downward trend stuck between upward ones. She couldn't test that idea, since no one had any long-term data on giant cuttlefish numbers. But such data did exist for other cephalopods—octopuses, squid, and other species of cuttlefish. Gillanders's team member Zoe Doubleday pulled it all together, by scouring earlier studies and contacting other scientists.

The Secret Climb of Chris Sharma and Stefan Glowacz
Two living legends of rock climbing have joined forces to establish a futuristic big-wall route.
Stefan Glowacz, the German stalwart whose resume includes competition wins from the late 1980's and early 1990's to big-wall first ascents in remote corners of the world, has teamed up with Chris Sharma, the California prodigy turned sport-climbing and bouldering visionary. Their plan is to climb a route that will require all of their combined skills. Specific details of the route are still being kept secret. The only clues are that the route is "big, unique and has never been done before and will likely never be done again."

For anyone that's interested, you can achieve the same 'push' features that Blackberry & Exchange 2003 (SP2) have. I have tested this with the current version of Zimbra and a Treo 650 (also works with a Treo 600) and an email client called ChatterEmail (ChatterEmail is exclusively for the Treo 600/650) from here www.chatteremail.com - email arrives in the Zimbra and, voila, almost instantly on your phone/PDA.
There may, of course, be other solutions to this but I thought someone might be in the same position as me and needing instant email notification - at a relatively low cost with Zimbra & ChatterEmail.

The Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania developed the Clinical Neuroscience Training program (CNST) to enhance medical students' exposure to the neurosciences while pursuing studies for the Doctor of Medicine degree. The CNST is aimed at training clinical neuroscientists who will eventually participate on the forefront of academic practice and research.
The CNST curriculum consists of interdisciplinary clinical case conferences, mentoring, research opportunities, and specially designed clinical neuroscience seminars. To accomplish these goals, the program draws on intellectual resources in the Clinical Neuroscience Departments, Anesthesiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology and Psychiatry, as well as neuroscience-oriented subspecialties in other departments, such as Neuropathology and Neuroradiology.
The CNST is open to all medical students at the University of Pennsylvania who have interest in pursuing a career in the clinical neurosciences. Graduate students are welcome at all CNST events to foster greater interactions among basic and clinical scientists early in their careers.

Written By Rob Goodman/Greater Hickory Kia Classic
CONOVER, N.C. - Champions Tour rookie Rocco Mediate and former Masters winner Larry Mize have joined the 11th annual Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn field, the tournament announced today.
The Champions Tour event is set for Oct. 14-20, 2013 at Rock Barn Golf & Spa.
These players join a field that already includes Charles Schwab Cup points leader Kenny Perry, defending champion Fred Funk, former Hickory winners Jay Haas, Mark Wiebe, Craig Stadler, Andy Bean and Gary Hallberg as well as David Frost, Russ Cochran and Jeff Sluman.
In addition, World Golf Hall of Fame members Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie, Larry Nelson and Nick Price will also play. The field now includes 11 of the top-16 players in the Charles Schwab Cup point standings.
Mediate is eighth in the current Charles Schwab Cup point standings; he has already won two tournaments in his inaugural Champions Tour season, and he finished tied for third at the U.S. Senior Open Championship.
He won the Allianz Championship, his Champions Tour debut, in February in Boca Raton, Fla., and the Shaw Charity Classic earlier this month in Canada.
As a Champions Tour rookie, this year's tournament will mark his first Greater Hickory Kia Classic appearance, but he had success in North Carolina in earlier in his career when he won the PGA TOUR's Wyndham Championship in 1993 and 2002.
Mize will always be remembered for his remarkable 1987 win in the Masters. Tied after regulation with Greg Norman and two-time Masters winner Seve Ballesteros, Mize stole the show chipping in for birdie at the par -four 11th to beat Norman on the second playoff hole.
Mize still considers that shot the most memorable of his career. The Augusta, Ga., native has made four previous Greater Hickory Kia Classic appearances with his best finish coming last year when he tied for 12th place. He has one career Champions Tour victory and is 49th in the current Charles Schwab Cup point standings.
"With today's additions to the field, I think we can safely say this field is the strongest in Greater Hickory Kia Classic history," executive tournament director Jim Correll said. "Rocco is having a fantastic rookie season, and anytime you can add a former Masters winner to the tournament, it makes the field even stronger. We still have four weeks until our tournament so our field could get even stronger. We are definitely looking forward to seeing all these great players at Rock Barn next month."
The 11th annual Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn is set for Oct. 14-20 at Rock Barn Golf & Spa in Conover, N.C.

After cleansing in the morning or at night, it's important to seal in that moisture and prevent dryness and dehydration which can make wrinkles more apparent and leave the skin vulnerable to a host of problems.

Lab Series Men Moisturizers are versatile products that deliver essential hydration while also leaving the skin healthier. All of the Lab Series Men Moisturizers are multi functional products which can often replace the need for additional products such as treatments. This makes for a low maintenance routine in the morning or at night.

Lab Series Instant Moisture Gel is a very lightweight and fast-absorbing hydrator that encourages a healthy moisture barrier so that the skin can maintain a proper balance. The formula is free of any ingredients which could clog the pores and cause breakouts.

Song Video
(sung to the "Toys 'R' Us" commercial tune).
I don't want to throw up, I just feel like I do;
I ate so much terrific stuff, today at the zoo.
I don't want to throw up, but my tum's kinda sick,
From carmel corn and peanut chews, and corn-dogs on a stick,. .
And ice cream, soda, and chocolate bars,
And cotton candy, pink and blue;.
I don't want to throw up, 'cause, "golly", if I do,
We won't be goin' back to the zoo!
Oh, drat! Oh!. . SPLAT!. . Oh, phoo!
I guess I over-ate at the zoo.
This song was originally posted at:
Information About I Don't Wanna Throw Up
Initially set to the Toys-R-Us theme tune, this commercial song was appropriately titled 'I Don't Want To Grow Up, I'm A Toys-R-Us Kid'. Introduced to the world in February 1960, it was accompanied by the store mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe. There are many other various cover versions, but this one remains one of the most prolific.
Parody cover versions of classic kids' tunes are a staple of school playgrounds worldwide, as children creatively inflect their own lyrics onto a popular tune of the time. Nursery rhymes have faced similar treatment in the past, right up to favourite cartoon theme tunes. Usually they have a fun juvenile refrain, and in 'I Don't Wanna Throw Up' it's someone overeating at the zoo.
The original lyrics to the song were about a child not wanting to grow up because of the many toys that Toys-R-Us had in store, which they wanted to play with. With 'I Don't Wanna Throw Up' the lyrics have been changed to feature someone eating too much on a day out to the zoo and worrying about being sick.
The slogan 'I'm a Toys-R-Us Kid' was first coined by the best-selling writer James Patterson, who at the time worked as the chairman for the advertising company J. W. Thompson. This was the slogan which was to go on and inspire the famously catchy jingle.
Other famous artists to have covered the original song are the popular pop-punk band 'Less Than Jake' with their song Channel 14.

Recently, Adobe, along with many others in the community, initiated a major community effort to build a common suite of developer-oriented documentation of the Open Web Platform as a community effort sponsored by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) .
One of the problems with standards is that generally, they are meant more for implementors and less for users of the standards (often by design). Those who actually write the standards and work on the committees that create them know that they are fragile interface descriptions – and this fragility is what requires the care in their crafting.
Standards specifications are necessarily quite detailed, in order to really promote interoperability and ensure things work the same. And this is where things get sticky. The implementations are based on the standard or the specification, and all standards (well, nearly all) are written in native language by people who are usually specialists in technology, as are many people who implement the developer-oriented documentation.
What's exciting here is that the Web Platform Docs (WPD) effort is really targeted at the user community to help document the standards in a way that is useful to that community.
But a standard really only gains value when it is implemented and widely deployed. And this is why the WPD is so innovative. WPD is about use and deployment of the standard. It has tutorials on how to use a feature; it has examples of uses. This is the kind of material that the W3C working group does not have time to create, but values. It is what the vendors provide to get their implementations used.
The importance of the site, from a standards point of view, is that it helps build an informed user base. Not at all a simple task.
The Web is evolving – and in its evolution, it is forcing others to change as well. Ten years ago, this type of common activity, open to all (for both contributions and information) would have been if not unthinkable, at least foreign. With this announcement, the contributors and the W3C have (hopefully) begun to change the way standards are seen – to an easier and kinder environment. And this is a good thing.
For an Adobe developer's view, see: What's one of the biggest things missing from the Web?

Workplace wellness programs can reduce medical costs by more than 18 percent for the average worker, according to a report published by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
The January edition of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, published by the Elk Grove Village, Illinois-based ACOEM, includes a study titled "Medical Care Savings From Workplace Wellness Programs: What Is a Realistic Savings Potential?"
The report said wellness programs could reduce costs for risks such as physical inactivity, smoking, high blood pressure and obesity. If the risk factors were lowered to "theoretical minimums," health care expenses could be lowered by an average of $650, or 18.4 percent, for all working adults, the study said.
Cost savings can reach up to 28 percent for aging employees and retirees who participate in wellness programs, according to the study.
"Medical care savings from workplace wellness programs will increase with time given that more eligible wellness program members participate, effective control of heightened risk factors improves, and greater risk reversal can be achieved," the report says.

Orbea Thor Helmet $0.00
As with many great designs, the striking appearance of the Orbea Thor Helmet is a result of the innovative thinking that went into its development. The Thor isn't just an extension of conventional helmet design, it's a whole new direction.
The most striking thing about the Thor is its organic look. This look is the result of Orbea Airflow Technology, a design that creates a natural current of airflow around the sides and through the helmet to provide superior aerodynamics with plenty of ventilation. The Thor's lightweight retention system is innovative, as well. The main element of this system is a dual-injection molded strap that stands up to tons of abuse without creating any uncomfortable pressure points.
The Thor has also been designed with an extremely compact structure. This is made possible by Orbea's exclusive 4-layer TC construction, which also allows in increase in ventilation. This is a result of Orbea's study of the helmet's External Surface Index. The idea is that a helmet with smaller surface area not only looks better, but ventilates better, as well.
The Orbea Thor Bicycle Helmet is available in S, M, and L, and comes in White/blue, White, White/green, Black, and White/red.

A better helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had the opportunity to wear my new Orbea Thor helmet a few times now and like it. It's a better helmet than the others I tried. This might sound odd but it was such a comfortable fit that it took awhile to get used to it. By the end of my second ride it was great. I like that I can adjust the fit with one hand while riding. And, I think it looks sharp.
Perfect Fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I always have trouble fitting hats and helmets because my head is kind of wide, finally I found the perfect fit.

Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Call it the "Bong Ban."
A House panel now is scheduled to discuss a proposed law that prohibits the sale of glass and other pipes known to be used for marijuana smoking and best known as "bongs."
The Business and Professional Regulation subcommittee will discuss the bill (HB 49) on Wednesday.
State law now allows only certain retailers to sell the pipes if at least 75 percent of their sales comes from tobacco products or they have no more than 25 percent of "certain drug paraphernalia" sales.
The bill would eliminate that exception and make any sale a first-degree misdemeanor. Second and subsequent violations would jump to a third-degree felony.
The Senate version (SB 1140) exempts wooden pipes. The House bill does not.

Deconstructing the American Dream
I sat down this morning to write about teachers and bridges, about motivation and inspiration. Upon rereading the President's Roanoke remarks, however, my focus shifted away from my planned topic of entrepreneurial outrage ("You didn't build that!"). Reading deeper, a more alarming theme emerged: Now, we don't need more top-down economics. I've got a different view. I believe that the way you grow the economy | Read More »

whats everyone think about hunting 61 or 76 for elk.......
whats everyone think about hunting 61 or 76 for elk.......
I've only heard good about 76. Might have enough points for it next year.
what season are you going to hunt??
I'm gonna do archery elk and pronghorn, deer 3rd season and possibly an otc bear tag this year.
Hunted 76 several years ago on the first rifle and is was a lot of fun. Ton of elk. We packed in 8 miles never saw another person or heard any other shooting than ours. Should draw again next year.
Talked with Biologist in 76 he said if your looking for a good backcountry hunt come to 76 for elk. He said the trophy quality may not be quite what 61 is but that it is a great unit for elk. I was also told not to waste my deer points on 76 for archery by a couple of people. If you look at the archery success rate and harvest numbers it definitely has me scratching my head why this is a draw unit with a minimum of 4 pts for non resident. Guess they don't like seeing out of state tags over there. Lol.
I hope it is a good unit. I put in this year for first rifle with 5 points which gives me a 68% chance of drawing. If you have 6 points you can draw it for sure.
I'd go with GMU 76....whether you are a DYI or going with a outfitter...it is excellent.
It is a rugged Unit but holds many excellent trophy bulls.
A great outfitter is Aaron Laske Wilderness Adventures in Alamosa.
