Join Brice Nice and Alski this Friday night for another edition of Sound Clash, a friendly musical duel. As usual the only rule is staying in the groove.
Lionel Ferbos' birthday is on July 17, one week from today. This year he will be 102!
Still leading The Louisiana Shakers most Saturday nights at Palm Court Jazz Cafe, he is New Orleans' oldest active musician. He has played every JazzFest and is still a fixture at major music festivals in New Orleans.
This week's program is a dedicated to a full hour of the Royal Southern Brotherhood, recorded live at French Quarter Fest 2012.
Jivin' Gene, the DJ not the singer... I've heard him announce himself in such humble fashion many times, in his smooth, down home New Orleans accent. What followed after was always some of the best Rhythm and Blues of the 1950's that have ever been played on these airwaves, or that of any other frequency.
Props to Jivin' Gene, whose tenure at WWOZ began in the station's early days above Tipitina's. He'll be doing his last "50s R&B with Jivin' Gene and Neil Pellegrin" show on Tuesday, July 9, from 7-10pm.
Congratulations to Gerald French, winner of the 2013 JazzAscona Award, presented at this year's JazzAscona Festival. The festival has been held annually in the lakeside town of Ascona, Switzerland for the last 29 years. Previous recipients of the award include Lillian Boutte (2006), Father Jerome LeDoux (2007), Donald Harrison, Jr.
There's shows you go to in NYC when an artist from Nola comes to town, brings their funky soulful music with them, gets the crowd moving to their syncopated groove and brings that Crescent City flavor to the New York party. You see the New Yorkers do a mock second line like their in New Orleans, and it's fun. It's a New York party with a New Orleans soundtrack, always great. But then… every once in a while, when the stars align at just the right place, right time and with the right people… A New Orleanian in exile can close their eyes, open their ears and almost feel like they're back home. King James and the Special Men did that for me last night, and Lord, it felt good!
Red Hook, Brooklyn, a working class neighborhood far off the beaten path, where generations of families have lived for years that's currently rebuilding itself after being nailed by a hurricane, subsequently proved the perfect place for King James and the Special Men to serve up their New Orleans flavor. The Red Hook Bait & Tackle Bar, a former fisherman's mercantile, adorned with taxidermied animal heads, red brick and xmas lights proved the perfect setting for this gig. Coming off a special performance outside Lincoln Center and a great July 4th show at the good ol' Bait & Tackle, King James and the boys closed out their NYC run here in proper fashion.
Go along with Glen David Andrews and his band on a guided tour of the Armstrong House Museum, in Queens, NY, where Satchmo and his wife Lucille lived from 1943 until the end of their lives.
Yes, we see the irony of recommending a British fireworks video on the Fourth of July. And yet.... If you love fireworks and didn't get to see any this Fourth, watch this video. It was beautifully shot with multiple cameras by the BBC and is totally worth a look. The bigger the screen, the better.

Railroad shipping: CSX reports record third quarter earnings
October 13, 2010
Building on the momentum which occurred over the first two quarters of the year, Class I railroad carrier CSX reported record third quarter results earlier today.
Third quarter earnings for the Jacksonville, Fla.-based company at $414 million and $1.08 per share (beating Wall Street estimates of $1.04 per share) were up 48 percent compared to the third quarter of 2009, which had revenues of $290 million and $0.73 per share.
Quarterly revenue was up 16 percent annually at nearly $2.6 billion, with a ten percent volume increase. And CSX said revenue and growth and operating leverage led to a 39 percent increase in operating leverage at $825 million and an operating ratio of 69.1 percent.
Quarterly volume growth was again impressive for CSX at 1,609 million units for a ten percent year-over-year increase. Automotive loadings remained strong with a 44 percent increase, metals were up 4 percent, and chemicals were up 5 percent. Total merchandise was up 7 percent with 643,000 units, with coal at 392,000 units up 3 percent. Intermodal was up 19 percent at 574,000 units, highlighting the continued ongoing strength in that segment, which has held up relatively well during a down economy.
"Approximately two-thirds of our quarterly increases came from higher volumes," said Michael J. Ward, CSX President and CEO on an earnings call this morning. "We adapted to higher traffic levels profitably as our employees continued to improve safety and efficiency while delivering reliable service to our customers.
Ward also said that CSX is increasing its capital spending in 2010 from a previously-announced $1.7 billion to approximately $1.8 billion for projects that will create competitive advantages for CSX customers and help them effectively grow their business, create jobs and add shareholder value.
In the third quarter, an improving economy helped nearly all the markets CSX serves recover from the lows experienced in 2009, said Clarence Gooden, CSX executive vice president, sales and marketing said on the call. Gooden cited continued growth in the Institute of Supply Management's manufacturing index showing expansion for the 14th straight month, coupled with inventories remaining below expected levels.
"As the economy and our traffic levels continue to improve, we are committed to delivering a safe and reliable service product, and we remain focused on capturing the value of our services," said Gooden.
When discussing the 16 percent quarterly revenue increase, Gooden explained that volume growth, core pricing gains and the impact of higher fuel costs reflected in CSX' fuel surcharge program paced overall growth. Volume increases alone drove $225 million of annual revenue growth for CSX, and the combined effect of rate and mix accounted for $114 million of revenue increase, reflecting yield gains across all markets CSX serves, as the company continues to sell the value of rail transportation, said Gooden. Higher fuel costs increased quarterly fuel recovery by $38 million.
Same-store sales pricing, which are defined by CSX as shipments with the same customer, commodity, car type, origin, and destination, were up 6.6 percent year-over-year and responsible for 75 percent of CSX' total traffic base. Increased fuel recovery accounted for roughly one-quarter of the change in revenue per unit. Revenue per unit at $1,657 was up 5.7 percent over last year's $1,562.
In the coming quarters, Gooden said CSX continues to expect core price increases to exceed rail cost inflation on a sustainable basis.

|Okee Dokee Brothers ride the river to a Grammy nod
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
(AP) For a musical duo that have known each other since they were 3 years old, there's something extra special about landing a Grammy nomination for Best Children's Album.
Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing are the Okee Dokee Brothers, a Minneapolis, Minn.-based bluegrass band who have been making their kid-oriented music since 2005. But their roots together go to their earliest days and their folky songs commemorate shared memories of their Colorado childhoods.
"It was a typical boyhood friendship," said Mailander, 28, who now splits his time between Minneapolis and New York City. "Doing things outside, fishing, going down to the creek, playing catch. It was just being kids at the time, but we found when we started making music together that those were the memories we returned to."
The Grammy nomination was unexpected recognition for musicians who have operated outside the Disney-Nickelodeon axis that largely dominates popular music for kids. The Okee Dokee Brothers identify themselves with a group of "kindie" musicians, who have turned for inspiration to independent (or "indie") musicians that eschew big record companies in favor of small, independent labels. Both men, bearded and decked out in flannel, look the part.
To that end, the Okee Dokee Brothers say they try to resist music that glorifies materialism or frivolity, instead favoring nature, exercise and spending time outdoors. Their nominated album, "Can You Canoe?" is a set of acoustic songs inspired by a month-long canoe trip the pair took down the Mississippi River, from Minnesota to Missouri. They dubbed it a "Mississippi River Adventure Album."
"It's not like we're preaching against video games or TV. We're not telling kids, 'don't do this, don't do that," said Lansing, 27, in an interview at his modest house in south Minneapolis, the group's default base of operations. "We want to inspire kids, to help them realize there's more to life than that."
After a boyhood marked by outdoor adventures, Mailander and Lansing began to turn to music in their teenage years. Lansing has fond memories of singing with his mother as a child, but said his interest in music really perked up when Mailander acquired a new guitar and bequeathed an older one to his friend. They played in a series of teenage rock bands, but took a turn toward rootsier music a few years later when Lansing acquired a banjo.
The pair cited musical inspiration from adult artists such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Gillian Welch. Both seek motivation from good deeds; they once did a tour of Midwestern homeless shelters, and Lansing's time in New York is spent at a part-time job with a nonprofit that puts on music and improvisational classes in under-served schools.
While their principal performance venues are schools and libraries, encouraging audience movement and participation, the Okee Dokee Brothers also want to make music parents like.
"It's not a very respected medium," Lansing said of kids' music. "But you know, years ago Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger were playing music for kids. Then there was a long movement toward music that parents didn't enjoy. That's what we're trying to go against."
Next up is another "adventure album," with plans to hike the Appalachian Trail next fall for material. Mailander said they want to make four such records in all, and are eyeing future outings in the Rocky Mountains and along the Pacific coast. Both men said they appreciate the recognition that comes with a Grammy nomination, but said it probably won't change their career path much.
"If you want to do something, if you have a dream—go for it and try to make it happen," Mailander said. "Hopefully that's the message of this album—go for your dreams."
Editor's note: Joe Mailander is the grandson of Marie Mailander of Holyoke and the son of Bob and Rita Mailander of Denver.

|Relay for Life: a celebration of life, a fight for the cure
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Numbers were down, but enthusiasm and fund raising remained high in Phillips County's eighth Relay for Life. Getting into the theme 'Back to the Future,' a total of 13 teams gathered Friday, Aug. 21 to kick off the 18-hour event.
In the months leading up to the Relay and during the event itself, teams worked hard raising money for the American Cancer Society. By Saturday at noon, Phillips County had raised $38,325, an impressive amount despite fewer teams.
Teams sported costumes from the past, ranging from cavemen to characters from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Regardless of their decade, however, everyone had one thing on their mind as they were welcomed to the Relay: cancer.
Emcees George Mumma and Marcus Kammer welcomed survivors, teams, volunteers and guests to the Relay site, thanking everyone for their involvement in the county event and their dedication to the quest to beat cancer.
Following the powerful tradition, cancer survivors took the track, making their way around the courthouse in a 'victory lap.' Friends and loved ones lined the walkway, showing their encouragement. Many family members and friends were seen walking together and releasing their purple balloons, with the memory of fighting their cancer together fresh in their minds.
Next to circle the track were the teams. Team members, many dressed for the occasion, carried banners and signs proclaiming their theme, as well as team events to happen throughout the night.
Team-organized events slated for the evening included everything from dance contests and Rockband to bra burning and jawbone pitching. Several teams cooked up tasty treats to keep walkers going and to continue to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
Once teams and survivors were recognized, individuals from every team began their long walk. Speaking this year was Tim Byers, who is the associate dean at the Colorado School of Public Health and the interim director at University of Colorado's Cancer Center. Amy Kropp also spoke, sharing her story as a cancer survivor.
As always, Relay for Life offered much entertainment throughout the evening for spectators and walkers. New this year was Relay's Got Talent, a time for local talent to show Relayers what they could do. There were several musical entrees, as well as gymnastics and a performance by Holyoke High School cheerleaders.
Back by popular demand was Relay's musical chairs scavenger hunt. After members from each team raced about the site looking for various 'Back to the Future' items, it came down to two contenders. Shelby Knode took first place, and Melissa Mayden came in second.
Every year team activities are paused as the Relay takes a moment to honor and remember those affected by cancer. Luminaria dedicated in memory of those lost to cancer and in honor of those still fighting the disease line the track. During the luminaria ceremony the candles are lit and the names are read. This year 391 luminaria were dedicated.
Even as the activity ceased, dedicated team members circled the track throughout the night, until morning came. Pastor Paul Sung led a morning prayer, as campsites once again came to life and activities resumed.
After a long, but satisfying night, teams and individuals were honored for a number of accomplishments. Individuals who stayed at the Relay for the entire 18 hours were entered in a drawing to win various prizes. Karen Bateman and Jan Workman each won two tickets to Elitches, and Dixie Nicholas won two tickets to a Nuggets game.
The team making top fund raising efforts was Walkin' & Rockin'. Best campsite went to the Cavemen. Wilber's Warriors had the best cancer related theme, and the best team costume prize went to Life of the Party. Phillips County Hippies had the best team activity with their putt-putt golfing.
New this year is an award for the best relay baton. Each team makes a relay baton to represent their team. This year's winner was PC Telcom's light-up guitar baton. A traveling trophy will be the winning team's for the year, until a new baton wins the prize at the following Relay.
Team fund raising is as follows:
Wilber's Warriors, $2,227; Cavemen I, $3,740.75; Cavemen II, $3,740.75; Bank of Colorado, $1,742.84; PC Telcom, $1,539.75; Phillips County Hippies, $1,414; Home Town Team, $1,250.16; Owens Family, $1,605.21; Haxtun Lions, $1,225; Life of the Party, $1,213.26; Haxtun/Fleming Herald and Hofmeisters I, $2,571.80; Haxtun/Fleming Herald and Hofmeisters II, $2,571.80; Points West, $1,399; Walkin' & Rocking', $2,726.13; and FCCLA, $1,030.

So I'm going to the doc for the third time to get a explanation for my thinning. I honestly dont notice hairloss, hardly even from washing it, but I just dont seem to be growing it back everywhere it used to. I have a diffused thinning all over the head even hairline, though it hasnt moved back.
I'm going to try inquiring if I should take propecia or not, as well as minoxidil(which ive been itching to get on, but ain't sure yet). However, if my doc does not think I should take fin, I will subsequently ask for another way to block dht.
Therefore I wanted to know, which topical compound is best for blocking DHT just in the scalp? I am already using Niz 2% twice weekly and 320mg saw daily, I seriously think its reduced shedding. Ive been on it for just nearly 3 months.
Should I go with Azelaic, Spiro or is there something else more potent for the scalp that i can get off prescription.

Rodfather-Goodguys Road Tour Takes 100 Hot Rodders on Cross Country Trek This FallWritten by Brian Brennan on June 21, 2012
On Friday, September 14th a spirited pack of seasoned hot rodders from around the country will gather together as one out on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, go over final checklists then blast east in a thunderous flurry - all one hundred of them whooshing down the highway. Their destination? Indianapolis, Indiana - the Racing Capital of the World, to take in the Goodguys 2nd WIX Filters Speedway Nationals, an event which fills the infield of Indianapolis Motor Speedway with thousands of customized, candy colored classics and hot rods.
Leading the pack will be Andy Brizio and Gary Meadors - two men at the forefront of the hot rodding scene for the last 4 decades. Brizio, 80, is calling the trip, officially named the "Rodfather/Goodguys Road Tour" his last hurrah. Since his first cross-country trip to Peoria, Illinois in 1970 (which he made in his AMBR-winning candy colored '23 Ford T bucket ), he's made more than two dozen such trek's in a variety of rods including his mount for the last 20 years - a flaming purple '32 Ford hiboy roadster built by his son Roy Brizio. Known worldwide as "The Rodfather," Brizio has never shied away from his passion for driving show winning rods long distances. "I wanted to prove to people that you could drive these kinds of cars to car shows," he said reflectively.
Meadors too has an unquenchable thirst for hot rod road trips. The founder and chairman of the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association (www.good-guys.com), he has racked up well over 200,000 miles over the years riding to Goodguys events from coast to coast in hot rodded roadsters, coupes and Cadillac's. Like Brizio, his cars have never seen a trailer. "You're not gettin' the most out of a hot rod if you're not driving it down the backroads of America" he said with his signature Goodguy grin. He and Brizio have been friends since they met in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s and have toured the world promoting hot rods. "Andy is truly the man," Meadors said. "Guys have always flocked to his events and road trips because since day one he's been an unquestioned leader in our hobby. His passion for these cars is genuine and everyone knows it."
The first leg of the Rodfather Goodguys Road Tour starts Friday, September 14th and runs through Thursday, September 20th with a total distance of approximately 1932 miles. It includes festive stops at Kindig-it Design (Salt Lake City), Wyotech (Laramie, WY), Pinkee's Rod Shop (Loveland, CO), Speedway Motors & Kuck Motorsports (Lincoln, NE), The Dennis Albaugh collection (Ankeny, IA) Heidt's Hot Rods & Muscle Car Parts (Wauconda, IL), The Roadster Shop (Mundelein, IL), Billet Specialties (La Grange, IL), Rad Rides by Troy (Manteno, IL), Richard Munz collection (Madison, WI) and the Indycar race shop of Dryer & Reinbold (Indianapolis) among others, before ending at the Goodguys 2nd WIX Filters Speedway Nationals.
Daily tour sponsors include WIX Filters, Auto Trader Classics, Grundy Worldwide Insurance, Speedway Motors and Billet Specialties.
Brizio and Meadors will also lead the return trip which blasts off from Indy Sunday, Sept 23rd following the Speedway Nationals and cruises through Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
An event of this magnitude has required months of planning and coordination. The meticulously charted route will take the 100-strong hot rod pack on back roads, interstates and highways through 13 states. Route 2 media (www.route2media.com), who specialize in capturing the beauty of classic American cars on the road, will document every mile of the trip with video footage to be made into a feature film style presentation. The Goodguys Gazette team will also provide extensive coverage of the journey. A daily blog and a satellite "spot tracker" will let fans and enthusiasts throughout the world follow the tour live online.

I cannot for the life of me get an smtp auth to work.
I have it setup to use port 587 and it doesnt work there. My ISP at home blocka 25 so I am ssh -L 25:server:25 to another server on the public cloud and telling my client to connect to localhost 25. I have updated my zimbraMtaAuthURL: to use port 81.
I have disabled and enabled every variation of ssl and tls in both my client and in the server. I have been reading the forums posts and am having no luck at all. If I try to AUTH I fail. I can disable auth and send to the local or of course from the machine itself i can send out as I please.
There is nothing showing my smtp connections in the zimbra.log only my imap conenctions.
I am running on freebsd and applied the patches from the forum threads regarding it and wrestled through the build operations and have everything working correctly. The machine has a 172 local IP and a one to one nat on a linksys rv042. Telnets to 25 work correctly and allow me to send to the local domain. The MX record point to a qmail relat at my COLO with smtproutes directing all traffic for my domain to the zimbra box (succesfully).

Lighthouses in Galicia: guardians of the end of the world
Torre de Hercules tower
Tower of Hercules
They look out haughtily over the sea from the peaks of the mountains, lighting the way for mariners through waters once known as "the end of the world". These are the lighthouses of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. Beautiful constructions that seem to stand watch over the coast. Come and discover them on a route taking in cliffs, beaches, islands and delightful fishing villages. Discover where the nocturnal lights of the Atlantic Ocean come from, here in the heart of Green Spain.
The coast of Galicia is outstanding for its irregular shape, with a host of capes and small islands close to the shore. It is a paradise for nature lovers. Furthermore, on your journey through this maritime region, you will find a multitude of lighthouses, simple constructions that are oases of peace, witnesses to shipwrecks, saviours of mariners and which, in many cases, continue functioning to this day. Although in Galicia different towns tend to offer independent routes to their lighthouse and historic centre, here we suggest a generic itinerary taking in some of the most important lighthouses in the region, such as those at Fisterra or the Tower of Hercules. Are you coming? The lighthouses will be our guides.
The journey could get underway in the south of Galicia, in the province of Pontevedra. Here, in the beautiful Baiona area you will find the rectangular Cabo Silleiro lighthouse, whose lamp can be seen 64 kilometres away. When you get there, take a close look because around it is a stunning viewpoint, 85 metres above sea level, from where you can see the ruins of an old naval artillery battery, across to Portugal and the Cíes Islands.
Europe's westernmost lighthouses
The route now takes us to A Coruña, whose lighthouses, Europe's westernmost, are located on mythical capes. To the south, in Ribeira, is the simple lighthouse at Cabo Corrubedo, where you will love the stunning views of the Arousa Estuary and you can stay in a hotel just 100 metres away. Following the coast to the north you come to the stately town of Muros with its lighthouse located at Queixal point on Monte Louro Mountain. You will be enchanted by its silhouette, approaching along a road that runs around the foot of the mountain. Once you have seen it, we would recommend a trip to the nearby beaches of Ancoradoiro and Lariño. The next stop is ideal to get a true sense of the immensity of the ocean. It is Carnota with its cylindrical lighthouse at Punta Insua. This area is home to historic "hórreos" (traditional grain stores) and Galicia's longest beach, reaching for more than six kilometres along the coast.
The next stop is one of the most emblematic sites in the world, the lighthouse at Cabo Fisterra (meaning "end of the world"). This was the westernmost point of Europe when the Romans discovered it. At that time popular belief was that the sun set there each day, and that beyond that point lay a realm of monsters. The sea surrounds everything in this land of legend and it is particularly special for being the end of the Way of Saint James, where pilgrims burn their clothes in a final act of purification. Come and see a unique landscape from the area around this octagonal lighthouse and its beautiful natural balconies. Look out over "Centulo" (devil's) Rock, the site of many shipwrecks. Another attraction is that there is a hotel alongside it - O Semáforo.
After this experience you are sure to be ready for more. So head north to Muxía and its lighthouse at Cabo Touriñán, also on the stunning Costa da Morte, where the force of the ocean lashing the coast and the impressive migrations of birds will take your breath away. In summer this is also an ideal spot to see the "percebeiros", workers who risk their lives in search of barnacles. Before you get to the city of A Coruña, there are two more lighthouses not to be missed. The first is at Cabo Vilán, in Camariñas (whose name comes from the lace work traditionally produced by local women), one of the most beautiful you will find and the first lighthouse in Spain to use electric light. In addition to this, make sure you see the white lighthouse at Punta Laxe, in Laxe, as this one is also located in a privileged natural setting.
Still further north, in the city of A Coruña, known as "the Balcony of the Atlantic", you will find the Tower of Hercules. This lighthouse dates from the 2nd century AD. Take a close look because you are seeing the very symbol of the city. It is also the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world and legend goes that it was built by Hercules himself and that he also buried a giant there. One of the best things is that a series of excavations provides access to the interior and you can climb a staircase to its stunning viewpoint, more than 60 metres up. There is also a museum at the site and a Sculpture Park close by. Come and feel the salt and the sea breeze on your face.
The journey now continues to Oleiros and its lighthouse with stone trelliswork at Punta de Mera. From here you can see the Coruña and Ares Reservoirs. The itinerary will then take you to Ferrol and its Cabo Prior lighthouse, once a passing point for whales. It is 100 metres high, with a large hexagonal tower, and there are stunning views of the cape which runs down sharply to the sea, and of the beautiful beaches of Santa Comba and Ponzos. There is a guesthouse you can stay at one kilometre away.
The next stop is located far away from the nearest civilisation. It is the lighthouse at Punta Candelaria, in Cedeira. Access requires a descent with many curves but is well worthwhile for the views of the nearby islets. The last stop in the province of A Coruña is Mañón and its 19th-century lighthouse at Cabo Estaca de Bares. Besides its ornithological observatory and the water wheels to be found nearby, this is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and Cantabrian Sea meet. Why not try staying at the rural hotel close by, the Semáforo de Bares?
Lighthouses on the Cantabrian Sea
This journey still has some pleasant surprises in store, coming next to the province of Lugo, the northernmost area of Galicia, where there are more beautiful lighthouses well worth seeing. The first is in Xove, more specifically at Punta Roncadoira. What will you find at the foot of this cylindrical tower? The intense blue of the Cantabrian Sea, the Os Farallóns and Sarón Islands and an all but untouched area from which to look out over the horizon. To the east you will come to the end of this adventure in Ribadeo, at its Illa Pancha lighthouse. Access to this island is over a bridge to the viewpoint that surrounds the lighthouse. One last piece of advice? While you are in the area, don't miss the spectacular, magical beach at Las Catedrales.
Besides motorways, Galicia has an extensive network of secondary roads that provide access to these areas, although we would also recommend you use suitable clothing and footwear to get to each destination. For more information visit the tourist offices in each place. At the end of this trip you are sure to feel refreshed. Not only will you be able to stroll through charming fishing villages, but you will also have a privileged view of Galicia's lighthouses, mythical locations with a very special appeal. See the sunsets, feel the roar of the waves, read a good book on a cliff top, have a relaxing swim in the sea, lose your gaze in the immensity of the ocean. Most of all, though, make sure to remember how the beam from these lighthouses opens up a passage through the darkness.

Great artwork with minimum tools. Maybe we should do a MSPaint only contest
I have no skill with photoshop, but here is the map to one of my adventures done in MS Paint. It reminds me of those old AD&D 1st edition adventure maps.
Great artwork with minimum tools. Maybe we should do a MSPaint only contest
If you have the talent (and patience!) to do that in MSPaint, you'll be even better with better tools.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Prologo Scratch Pro Tirox Saddle $0.00
Similar to all of Prologo's saddles in the Scratch family, the Scratch Pro Tirox borrows a fairly traditional, round profile. This makes it ideal for riders who tend to stay seated, even for climbs. Its shape, materials, and rail system have all been engineered to provide one of the lightest and most supportive saddles available, making it ideal for both road and XC mountain applications.
Prologo chose to build the Scratch Pro Tirox Saddle around its Tirox rail system. This is a light steel rail with a base and clamping zone that are both durable and incredibly stiff — it's the same composition used in the airspace industries due to its low weight and durable properties. Prologo then attached its carbon fiber injected "skeleton" base to the Tirox rails, creating a supportive foundation that works in conjunction with its multi-density padding.
This padding is actually a "system" of varying foam densities that have been strategically placed to provide the optimal blend of comfort and support. The system works to perfectly complement the saddle's round shape, with the composition of padding densities moving along a gradient. At the rear section, multiple layers of high density padding were applied to handle the bulk of a rider's weight. The perineal zone, or central section, incorporates a medium density, which then tapers toward the softly padded nose.
To keep the Scratch Pro's cover free from scuffs, Prologo finished off the saddle with its Side Protector bumpers. It's also U-clip compatible, meaning that it will accept a variety of Prologo's clip-on lights and saddle bags.
The Prologo Scratch Pro Tirox Saddle is available in 134mm and 143mm widths, and it comes in the colors Full White, Hard Black, Hard Black/white, and White/black.

What is a possible explanation why the "Scratch Pro" is more expensive than the "Scratch Pro Plus"? I would think the "Plus" means something extra and would translate to a higher cost.

Ask Colorado Cowboy. He know Co. Very well. Good luck I hope you find the area.
Anyone have any info on this area? I had a former work client who hunted this area a few years back. I know you need alot of PP's to hunt here, especially unit 10. I have 3? 4? somewhere areound there PP's for mule deer. I am pretty open to hunting anywhere, but am curious about this area. They shot good bucks....170"-180", and saw some in the 190" and above range. I didnt get an exact location from him (kinda tight lipped.....which was understandable)..........and I no longer work in that company and lost contact with him.
I admit I dont know much about Colorado hunting. I will need to do some more research. I think unit 10 takes about 15 pp for a rut tag! Wow. But I think they have earlier seasons that are easier to draw.
I am also open for some suggestions. Just doing some long term planning. It will be a good 3-4 years at a minimum.....before I would even be thinking seriously about a colorado mule deer hunt. Not sure if I want to wait till 15 pp's......but if there was a decent hunt in the 8-10 pp range.........
Thanks in advance for any info!

This works well with thin boneless porkchops also.
Absolutely fantastic! I used boneless, skinless chicken breast because that' what they had on sale at the store. My entire family loved it! It makes good leftovers, too. I'll have to check the Shake N Bake nutrition information, because it was just too good. I'll definitely do this again!

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Maicer Izturis snapped a tie game with a
solo homer in the top of the ninth inning and behind a spirited effort from
the bullpen, the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for the second straight day to
upend the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-4, in the second test of a four-game set.
A terrifying moment occurred in the second inning when Jays starter J.A. Happ
was taken off the field by stretcher after taking a line drive from Desmond
Jennings off the side of his head. He remained conscious and was brought
straight to the hospital.
Forced to dig into its bullpen early, four Toronto relievers combined for 7
2/3 scoreless innings, with Steve Delabar (2-0) tossing two innings of one-hit
ball. Casey Janssen worked a perfect ninth to notch his ninth save.
Colby Rasmus hit a two-run homer, Adam Lind went 2-for-4 with a solo shot and
two runs scored, while Jose Bautista and Melky Cabrera each plated a run to
help Toronto earn back-to-back victories at Tropicana Field for the first time
in almost five years.
Joel Peralta (0-2) was tagged with the loss for the Rays, who blew a seven-run
lead in an 8-7 loss to the Jays on Monday. The Tampa Bay bullpen spoiled a
solid start from Roberto Hernandez, who tossed six innings of one-run ball and
struck out seven.

Parker, CO (Sports Network) - Americans Stacy Lewis and Paula Creamer earned a
hard-fought win, while Suzann Pettersen lost her first match as the United
States inched within a point after Saturday morning's foursomes play at the
Solheim Cup.
The Americans won two matches Saturday and moved within one point as the
Europeans lead 6 1/2 - 5 1/2 heading into the afternoon fourballs session.
Lewis and Creamer were 4-up after 10 holes, but Karine Icher and Azahara Munoz
won four straight holes from the 11th to square the match. The Europeans made
a mess of the 18th and conceded the Americans par at the last to give the U.S.
team a 1-up win.
In the anchor match, Pettersen and Beatriz Recari lost a 2-up lead after nine
holes to Brittany Lang and Michelle Wie. Lang rolled a long eagle putt to
concession range at 16 and the Europeans couldn't match to give the Americans
a 1-up lead. Wie closed out the 2 & 1 win with a short par putt on 17.
The first match ended in dramatic fashion. Neither team led by more than 1-up
through 16 holes. Anna Nordqvist and Caroline Hedwall were 1-up through 16
against Morgan Pressel and Jessica Korda. Nordqvist aced the par-3 17th and
when the Americans couldn't match, the Europeans took the match, 2 & 1.
The third match out ended last. Brittany Lincicome and Lizette Salas four
times were 2-up, including a 2-up lead with two holes to go. The U.S. 3-putted
for bogey on 17 to let Catriona Matthew and Caroline Masson within 1-down.
After Salas missed a tough birdie try at 18, Matthew drained a birdie putt to
halve the match.

Prosecutor: DC officer left child to 'cook' in car
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) -
Prince George's County prosecutors say a D.C. police officer shot his mistress and left their infant child to "cook" in an overheated car.
State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said during opening statements Monday that Richmond Phillips committed the crimes because he was involved in a paternity dispute with the woman and didn't want to pay child support.
Phillips was arrested in June 2011 after the body of 20-year-old Wynetta Wright was found in a park where the two had met. Their child, Jaylin, who was days shy of her first birthday, was found dead in her car seat with the doors closed and windows rolled up.
Defense lawyer Brian Denton told jurors his client is innocent and that the evidence is circumstantial.

Was wondering if anyone else has tried these highly unusual broadheads? My experience has been incredible on elk and deer. Had one doe rear up on her hind legs and fall over dead like I shot her with a gun! Had an arrow tip a branch at 50-yds and deflect the arrow square in the shoulder of a small bull elk. Arrow penetrated both shoulders and broke off 8-inches on the other side, he went 70-yds.
That said, the thing is wild and somewhat controversial, because the "blades" are titanium wire. You seriously will not need to re-sight your bow to shoot these from field points, because there is no planing from the wires. Plus, the reason my arrow penetrated shoulder bone was the fact that the blades compress when going through bone, and snap back into the soft flesh. Both entrance and exit holes were the diameter of my arrow, not the blades. Only problem is, the wires are not razor-sharp. They work great, but it is a disconcerting thing to look at. Was wondering what everyone else's thought were on these broadheads?

I don't know of any other way but to invest in good clothes to stay warm in those temps.
Lots of layering but then you would look like the kid on the Christmas story.
I apologize in advance if someone has already posted this. I see a lot of stuff on normal gear but what about cold weather gear. 10 degrees to -15 or so. I am pretty happy with my set up. I go all Patagonia on top... Capilene TShirt, Capilene long sleeve as my second, R2 as 3rd and the Fitz Roy once I am no longer hiking. On the bottom I have a heavy weight long john (Marmot) and then mid weight REI hiking pants and then once I stop hiking Mountain Hardware Puff pant. Normal gloves and then a mitten. Normal beanie with my jackets hood.
I have family coming out this year and they don't really want to invest all of this in 1 yr. Neither would I, this was over a 2-3 yr span. So... what is everyone doing to stay warm in cold weather hunting. My hunting conditions are cold weather, usually 0-15 degrees, mile or 2 hiking and then sitting/glassing all day.
Here's a pic of our usual setup... About to take a nap at 4 below As always... Thanks in advance.
I don't know of any other way but to invest in good clothes to stay warm in those temps.
Lots of layering but then you would look like the kid on the Christmas story.
yeah nocutiing edges when it comes to gear in that weather. nice set up
thermacare heat wraps for back pain work wonders. I use them waterfowl hunting because I cant put alot of clothes on under my waders. One on my lower back will keep me warm all day
I do something similar to smalls when bow hunting whitetail from my tree stand. I bring enough clothes to stay warm, but it never fails that I get chilled/cold sitting up in that tree after several hours. I bring hand warmers with me and stick them either up against the skin or outside of my thermals (first layer) on my chest and back of the neck. Its amazing how much they help! I've sat for hours on end and been a little chilly, but not terrible in 0 degree weather not including wind chill. Hand warmers a much cheaper than good clothing if this will be a one time thing. There is one thing I do know... hunts start to suck pretty bad when you shake uncontrollable from the cold or start to lose feeling in parts of your body... my opinion, have them invest in the most and best clothing they can get for this year and use hand warmers or heat wraps for a back up. They are pretty light, so you won't have to add too much extra weight.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Genesis 27:3 (NKJV)
There had been a lot of Russell stuff being clearanced over the last few months, some of it is still around. I picked up a couple sets of their base layers at about 70% off -- pretty good stuff. Just stumbled across a set of their rain pants cheap as well at Gander on the clearnce rack.
I agree with tdcour. You can manufacture alot of heat for cheap with handwarmers or the heat wraps. For a one time deal, $15-$20 with of heat wraps and handwarmers would go a long way.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
+1on heat wraps. ill throw some warmers in the bag with me while i sleep too. and discounts are deff good i just meant cheap gear. i allways buy discounted, cant afford not to. just discounted quality gear.
I am a big fan of heat packs as well. Try throwing them in your sleeping bag as well. I have been able to pack in a little lighter bag as it gets colder by throwing the heat packs in, and then I use them the following day.

|Local schools accredited by Dept. of Education
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Based on 2013 state testing, Holyoke School District achieved accreditation from the Colorado Department of Education.
Superintendent Bret Miles reported on the accreditation status at the Sept. 17 school board meeting.
As a district, Re-1J achieved 67.2 percent. This is the second-highest rating for the district in four years. In 2011, a 69.2 percent was achieved.
With the accredited status covering 64-79.9 percent, the district actually fell slightly below that in both 2012 and 2010. The status for those two years was "accredited with an improvement plan."
The school district had a 63 percent performance in 2010 and a 62.2 percent in 2012. An increase of five percentage points was seen from a year ago to put the district into the accredited category. Miles said he's pleased to see that rating back up.
Miles highlighted that the elementary score, JR/SR high score and district score all fell in the green zone this year, according to the DOE. Last year, only the district score fell in the yellow zone. Both the elementary school and JR/SR high were accredited with performance plans this year.

The LA Roadsters Swap MeetWritten by Eric Geisert on November 1, 2011 Yes, It Was Probably There
With apologies to all those roadster owners out there, the fact of the matter is the massive L.A. Roadsters swap meet is a happening unto itself, and it would probably be a very successful event even if no roadsters showed up next door.
For decades the L.A. Roadsters have carved out a section of their show for those who wanted to buy, trade, or sell old car parts and, being held only once a year, many folks rely on this two-day affair to get their business done.
The swap meet has always been a big draw for out-of-state attendees, too, because most of this stuff you just can't find anywhere else. More than 1,250 spaces were filled, and though parts' prices seemed to run between fair to high, an adequate amount of the finished car projects looked to be a bargain with prices being lower than what you could buy all the parts for.

Video: 4th Grader Sues, Alleging Assault By Cop At School
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The District banned paddling in public schools more than three decades ago, but what a DC police officer is accused of goes well beyond corporal punishment.
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing Officer David Bailey and the city, accusing the cop of slamming a 10-year-old boy's head into a desk, ripping him out of a chair, and sending him to the hospital with a concussion.
"I received a text from him on he way home saying that a police officer had slammed his head into the desk," Chante Price says in a video provided by the ACLU.
It allegedly happened at Moten Elementary in Southeast a year ago. The 4th grader sent to the lunch room for failing to participate in music class, there Officer Bailey was lecturing the kids on self discipline, and the ten-year-old was talking to a friend about a book they were reading.
"At that point, the officer grabbed the back of T.P.'s head, slammed his head forward, down into the lunch table," says ACLU Attorney Jennifer Wedekind. "Then picked him out of his seat, threatened him with arrest essentially, and dropped him back in his chair."
T.P. went to an emergency room that night, complained of a headache for two weeks, and now says he's afraid to go to school.
"When parents send their kids to school, they expect them to be in a safe environment," says Wedekind. "They especially expect them to be safe from the adults who are supervising them. And this was a complete violation of that trust."
A school official at Moten says he knows the young man. Says he's a good kid, a decent student, a great artist, and no trouble at all.
"There was an assault, and I believe justice needs to be done," says his mom.
We were unable to reach the officer, and the schools and the DC Attorney General are declining comment. But in a statement, the police chief pointed out that prosecutors have decided against criminal assault charges against the officer.

System Networking and Data Center Efficiency Redefined
The value proposition for IBM System Networking is to provide the essential network connectivity solutions under the IBM brand to connect servers to servers, servers to storage and storage to storage. IBM System Networking offers a compelling alternative for customers seeking more efficient data centers with the greatest business value and lowest total cost of ownership for their data center networks.
System networking plays a critical role in customers' server and storage buying decisions. Today, many customers are deploying IT infrastructure on an unprecedented scale – data centers are expanding from 5,000 to 50,000 and 100,000 servers. For such scale-out architectures, the system network plays a critical role. Consider density; if it requires three data centers to house 5,000 servers, how many data centers will it take to house 50,000 servers? The answer better not be 30! So, the system network must deliver the high-density networking required to support highly consolidated and massively virtualized data center infrastructures.
If you are a CIO undertaking an order of magnitude increase in infrastructure, you want to increase utilization through virtualization, which requires the system network to be virtualization aware. And of course, the system network is vital to the security of this infrastructure.
If you have an order of magnitude increase in infrastructure, much of the functionality required to solve deployment and management issues can reside on data center switches implemented within the system network.
As companies take their businesses online, rapid and accurate business intelligence becomes ever more critical, which requires the system network for fast transport of information to and from analytic engines.
If you are employing an order of magnitude more infrastructure, total cost of ownership is important, and companies spend 15 to 20% of their investment in infrastructure on the network.
To address CIO's key strategic issues of scaling, density, utilization/virtualization, security, data management and cost ownership, system networking is the common thread. IBM is an incredibly reputable server and storage vendor, and you can see the critical role the network plays.

There are two types of weather that are generally considered the worst: tornadoes and hurricanes. This year, the United States has experienced very low levels of both tornado and hurricane activity. This is great news, of course! But it still begs the question... why? In this 2-part series, I'll break down the numbers, put them in historical context, and present a theory or two for the lack of bad weather. This is the second part of the series, where the focus is on the 2013 severe weather season.
For tornadoes, it has been a very unusual year. While we did have the double-whammy of deadly tornadoes in the Oklahoma City area in May, the rest of the year was fairly quiet for the entire country. As of November 12th, 814 tornadoes have been confirmed in preliminary reports. This might sound like a lot, but the 20-year average is 1,278.6 tornadoes per year! The year is not over, of course, but we are entering the least-tornadic time of year right now, so it's highly unlikely we'll have hundreds more tornadoes touching down in between now and year's end.
If the current tornado trend continues, we will finish the year with the fewest tornadoes since 2002. It will also be the first time since 2002 that fewer than 1,000 tornadoes have been reported in a calendar year.
I think it's tough to compare severe weather seasons, apples to apples, because there are a few factors that have recently helped to elevate the number of tornado reports we receive. One factor is that there are simply more people living in suburban areas, which means there are more people who could potentially spot a tornado. I do not think it's a coincidence that 1973 is the first year in history with more than 1,000 tornadoes were confirmed. This was a time when people were leaving the cities for suburbs in droves, and the interstate highway system was quickly growing, making rural locations more accessible. Since then, a number greater than 1,000 has become the norm! In this article I wrote in September, I discuss some of those tornado-spotting factors in greater detail.
In this day and age, if a tornado is happening, chances are good that either a person or a Doppler radar saw it. So the low tornado count in 2013 is a definite phenomenon. So, the question begs asking... why such a low number? Unlike the hurricane season, which I talked about earlier this week, the low tornado year is likely due to several factors. But, just like the hurricanes, dry air is a factor in the lack of tornadic activity. A tornado draws its energy from atmospheric clashes- clashes between warm and cold air, moist and dry air, changes in wind speed and direction. This year, it seems that the moisture plume from the Gulf of Mexico that usually feeds severe storms was not in place very often. Without this moisture from the Gulf, there wasn't a potential clash with dry air descending from Canada or the Rocky Mountains. So, why wasn't this moisture feed as strong as usual? I'm pointing my finger at the Bermuda/Azores High, which is normally parked off the East Coast of the USA during a good portion of the summer. The clockwise windflow around the high brings southerly breezes inland after moving across the Gulf waters. This year, the center of the high pressure was further east, so that Gulf influence wasn't as strong.
Another factor was in the upper atmosphere. The upper-air pattern was unfavorable for tornadic development for much of the summer. A huge ridge was consistently parked over the Rocky Mountains and the western portions of the Plains this summer. This led to record-breaking heat in places like Boise and Salt Lake City, and a bubble of hot, dry air over the Plains. Again, dry air was a dominant feature. The ridge over the Rockies also means that, obviously, there wasn't a trough over the Rockies. A typical severe weather setup includes this upper air feature. See my rudimentary drawing below:
In the late spring and early summer months, a pattern like this, with plenty of surface moisture from the Gulf and a trough of cooler air digging in, is a slam-dunk for severe storms. Tornadoes are highly likely to form in this environment, too. The deadly tornadoes that formed on May 20th and May 31st of this year were spawned in an atmosphere very similar to the one diagrammed above. However, as I mentioned earlier, this was not the setup in the United States for the vast majority of the summer. Here's rudimentary drawing #2, depicting a more typical setup for us this year:
Big difference, right? By the time the pattern shifted, the peak of severe weather season was long gone. This pattern is not unusual during the summer months, but what is unusual is how long the pattern lasted. It's the reason for the record heat in the Rockies, and our relatively cooler and wetter summer here in the DC Metro area as well.
The atmospheric elements collaborated to make for a very calm year for bad weather in the United States, both in the case of hurricanes and tornadoes. If you missed the first part of this series, follow this link for the full article.

Emerald Downs shrouded in fog as training is underway in 2013BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!TRAINING UNDERWAY FOR 2013
AUBURN, Wash. (February 1, 2013) – The horses are back!
Some 60 horses were on the grounds Friday morning as Thoroughbreds began training for the 2013 season at Emerald Downs. The horse total will increase daily for the 75-day meeting expected to run from mid-April to late September.
Simba's Roar, an unraced 3-year-old Cahill Road colt, was the first horse on the track at 8:35 a.m. under trainer/exercise rider Charles Essex. Essex, Chris Stenslie, Blaine Wright, Terry Gillihan and Howard Belvoir were among the early arrivals Friday, and Belvoir even sent a familiar old face onto the track for his first jog of 2013.
Simba's Roar and Charles Essex were first on the track in 2013Wasserman, Emerald Downs all-time leading earner with $560,458, stepped onto the track at 9 a.m. under regular rider Jennifer Whitaker. Whitaker has been aboard the now 11-year-old gelding literally thousands of times the last eight years—in 59 of 74 career races including six stakes wins, and for virtually every jog, gallop and workout along the way. Whitaker knows Wasserman as well as anyone and said the big bay was in good spirits, perhaps even feistier than normal.
"He's really happy, he loves it here," Whitaker said. "He'd rather be here than the farm. He'll be more settled tomorrow."
Old pals Wasserman and Jennifer Whitaker together again at Emerald DownsDirector of Racing Bret Anderson said 1,195 stall applications have been processed and hopes to have between 900 to 1,000 horses on the grounds by opening night.
Tom Wenzel, whose eight stakes wins in 2012 tied the second highest total in track history, was busy arranging his stable Friday, while Doris Harwood, No. 1 all-time with 56 stakes victories, also was preparing for her horses to arrive.
Wenzel only had one horse at his stable Friday, 3-year-old gelding Luna Tick, but the trainer said things would pick up dramatically with several arrivals this weekend.
Makors Finale, a quadruple stakes winner last year, is at Pegasus Thoroughbreds in Redmond but slated to rejoin Wenzel's string at Emerald Downs. Wenzel and owner-breeder Karl Krieg have high hopes for the 4-year-old Makors Mark colt, perhaps even a run at the 78th Longacres Mile (G3) in August.

The abolitionist
International | Salvation Army's Lisa Thompson takes on sex trafficking, mutilation, and bling in a growing worldwide campaign
Ask Lisa Thompson what really makes her angry, and she will say: "Snoop Dogg and Hugh Hefner and Bling Bling Barbie Dolls." When the gangster rapper appeared in an Orbit chewing gum TV commercial, Thompson vowed never to buy the brand. "They're all part of the example of how American culture is accepting the commodification of women and girls," she said.
If Thompson is sensitive about the cheapening of women, it's because she spends working days-and nights-tracking the worldwide spread of the problem. In Sri Lanka, a huge billboard advertises a shop reading simply "Bling." In rural Sierra Leone, Thompson spied a village elder wearing a 50 Cent shirt, what she calls "the almost transcendence and omnipresence of pimp subculture in the world."
And that's just the tame stuff. "People get so shocked that there could be sex trafficking and sex slaves but not bat an eyelash when Snoop Dogg and [former Chrysler chairman] Lee Iacocca do a commercial together," said Thompson, 36, who heads a Salvation Army campaign to abolish sex trafficking.
Eight years ago Thompson hardly knew what sex trafficking was. But the plight of stolen, kidnapped, and abused women grabbed her attention while working for the National Association of Evangelicals; now, the former grant writer, Beijing English teacher, and private-eye office manager says the work is "what I was born to do."
Thompson wants to cauterize a modern slave trade that sells women and girls into forced prostitution. In the faith-based community, Thompson is the face many associate with turning trafficking into a burning social issue.
It's the kind of job where many either "burn out very quickly or go crazy," said retired Major Marilyn White, a longtime colleague of Thompson's. Thompson confesses that the job duties and the travel stretch her into a "human crepe." But the horrors only make her work harder.
The latest State Department report on trafficking estimates that 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year. About 80 percent are women and girls and up to 50 percent are minors. The 2006 report, released last June, shows an alarming trend-spurred in part by economic globalization-of trafficking persons for purposes of slave labor, too.
After being immersed in those statistics for over six years now, little shocks Thompson. When something comes along to rattle her, as it did last summer when she first heard of a West African practice called "breast ironing," she is quick to mobilize advocates and speak out against it.
With breast ironing, mothers try to flatten their pubescent daughters' budding breasts so they will seem less attractive to boys and men. One common method is to heat a wooden pestle in the kitchen and roll and hammer a girl's breasts. The pain is agonizing, and a recent survey in Cameroon showed a quarter of girls enduring it there. Sometimes the tissue damage is so extensive, the breasts disappear altogether. Or it haunts a woman in other ways: One woman, the Reuters news service reported, had trouble producing breast milk as a new mother, and her baby almost died as a result.
"Tragically, in far too many parts of the world women's bodies are viewed as bad and the 'source' of immorality," Thompson said. "It never ceases to amaze me how women's bodies are tortured with a view toward either preventing immorality, or on the other hand, stoking desire [or] attraction."
Thompson's passion can spill over into social gatherings, friends say, where she freely discusses sex trade details in mixed company. "When you ask Lisa how work's going, it's not just a matter of how some people say, 'Oh, it's fine,' or 'It's stressful,'" said Megan Lee, a high-school teacher and long-time friend. "I've seen her become very emotional." Earlier this year, Thompson broke down in tears when she saw photographs of Bangladeshi women who were victims of sulfuric or hydrochloric acid attacks. The women, who have horrendously disfigured faces, are often attacked by angry husbands or boyfriends, or become the object of anger in dowry disputes.
Thompson's dedication also has caught the attention of groups on the left. The American Prospect blamed her and other activists for a shift in U.S. policy, where groups lobbying for legalized prostitution no longer could receive federal funding. The magazine said the "most prominent figures include right-wing policy-makers, a Jewish 'moral entrepreneur,' [human rights advocate Michael Horowitz] and evangelical leaders, whom critics call overzealous and moralistic. Together, the 'abolitionists' have formed a potent political force." So potent, the article quoted one official, that for Thompson and others, "Horowitz is the Charlie to their Angels."
Hyperbole aside, Thompson has not only irritated traditional foes but influenced them: feminists who believed faith-based programs did more moralizing than good on prostitution. "When you first meet her, it's easy to underestimate her," said Donna Hughes, a 20-year anti-trafficking warrior. "She's a thin, attractive young woman. Only when you get to know her [do you see] she has a compassionate personality and a will of steel."
Faith and family help an abolitionist cope with the job's strains, and for the single Thompson, that comes from her Wesleyan church and her Kentucky home.
Thompson grew up in a close-knit family, on the same country road as both sets of her grandparents. She remembers their farming days, when she would ride a tractor-pulled hay wagon or hang tobacco leaves to barn-dry. Ask her how she is, and she might still say, "Fine as frog fur."
At Thompson's office at the Salvation Army's National Headquarters in Alexandria, Va., family photos surround her desk. On it is a copy of the Falmouth Outlook, from the closest town to where she grew up in Kentucky, carrying a story about a local beauty queen who had once dated her cousin and now wants to combat sex trafficking. Also on the desk are encouraging cards sent by her grandmother's country church, and Prostitution, Trafficking and Traumatic Stress, a book fringed with neon-pink stickies for bookmarks.
Artifacts of her work and travel are arrayed on bookcases: a set of four African wooden elephants; a sculpture of Christ with a crown of thorns from Ecuador; a chance picture of her with defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld; a framed invitation to U.S. Ambassador John Miller's swearing-in. Miller is head of the State Department's Trafficking in Persons office.
As part of her work now, Thompson trundles through dozens of sex-trafficking articles a day, then sends the choicest stories to a hundreds-strong e-mail list. She signs off every one with, "Abolition! Lisa." The practice inspired Miller to start speaking of "abolishing" trafficking. Recipients sometimes complain that Thompson's mailings overwhelm them, but she sends only a fraction of what she runs across.
Breast ironing is only one horror Thompson handles almost daily. Other abuses are better known, such as female genital mutilation, or FGM, practiced in parts of eastern and northern Africa. The goal is to reduce a woman's sexual pleasure, and therefore make her less likely to seek illicit sex, by removing part or all of her genitalia. The operations are often done with a blunt instrument and without anesthetic.
Severe FGM can lead to obstetric fistula, where days-long obstructed childbirth causes the soft tissue between the vagina and bladder or rectum to die, creating a hole. Not only does the baby die, but the infant's mother is left incontinent, unable to control leaking urine or feces. Communities often ostracize fistula sufferers, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The list of abuses runs long: genital mutilation, child brides, honor killings, weak rape laws. All, Thompson said, "boil down to violence against women. . . . There's no culture that doesn't have violence."
With all these flashpoints, Thompson knows abolition is a consuming battle. Sometimes she despairs at all the work that needs doing to help abused women. But she falls back on her trust in God: "At the end of the day, it's not my fight, and He loves these people more than I could ever conceive of."

Hello from the midwest. I'm introducing myself as a newbie on this forum or bike forums in general.
I have been an avid mountain biker and now am starting ride my Zipp 3001 (photos below). I have a mint Zipp 3001 limited edition with a set of zipp 440 tubular wheels. I've had it since its been new but never road it much. It has less than 100 miles on it. Originally, I was going to sell/trade this bike for a newer road bike. I understand how rare these bikes are (less than 100 produced), and it has legendary status. So i decided to keep on to it for now.
I've been looking to upgrade to newer lighter components to put on this speed demon. I looked on Ebay for Zipp bars, stem, and crank. I would like to have as many Zipp components as possible, but any other good alternatives? Please feel free to comment.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Carlos Boozer had a monster double-double and
behind a dominating defensive performance, the Chicago Bulls grinded out a
79-76 victory over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference
quarterfinal series.
After stealing home-court advantage from the Nets with a victory in Game 2,
the Bulls returned home and held Brooklyn to under 20 points in each of the
first three quarters.
The Nets were brutal from the field for the second straight game, shooting
just 34.6 percent, but had a chance after reducing a 17-point fourth quarter
deficit down to three with four seconds left.
C.J. Watson, though, shot long on a potential game-tying 3-pointer from the
corner, securing the win for Chicago.
Boozer carried the Bulls with 22 points and a game-high 16 rebounds, while
Luol Deng also chipped with a double-double of 21 points and 10 boards.
Brook Lopez helped spark the comeback attempt and supplied Brooklyn with 22
points, nine rebounds and seven blocked shots.
Deron Williams had 18 points albeit another woeful shooting performance and
Joe Johnson, who was a gametime decision with plantar fasciitis, scored 15
points in nearly 41 minutes of play.

We got good minutes from Anthony Booker. One too many 3 pointers, but I can live with that.
Booker. He played well. Need more defense.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
The atmosphere in hilton was the best its been in at least a decade. Not an empty seat, and hundreds more in the concourse. And every section was loud. You could feel the energy in the building the minute you walked in.
Also, I didn't kill anyone or break anything in my house. Really pleased with my self-restraint.
The crowd wore GOLD!! That's a huge accomplishment for ISU sports.
It was a fantastic game with a rotten ending. I agree, the atmosphere was unreal. I can hardly speak today.
I tried one of the snow cones from the guy walking around because I didn't want to miss anything. Big mistake.
Oh, another positive. KU fans, whether because they knew they'd been handed the game or because they feared for their lives if they did it, didnt start up that stupid ******* chant.
Kansas fans around me left a little early in OT, they knew better

Thanks for the review...glad I didn't try it! The clone cone was delicious though.
Back to the positives... Allen Lazard sitting next to CPR in the stands... (Downside, espn had no idea who he was and never mentioned anything). Am I the only one that saw this?
