Thought y'all would find this of interest. Always seen the Arkel handlebar mount but never one in action on the web, so I made this video for others to check it out.

Nice review

good review. I do like the rack system.
I went with the Ortlieb handlebar bag since it was waterproof. Surprised this one was not waterproof, especially for the price.
I have this Arkel bag and it's bombproof. Throw on the rain cover and the thing is great. Agreed that their stuff is heavy but it's built to last. My bag has 500+ of trail beating on it and it looks like the day I bought it. The mounts are bombproof as well. A guy I ride with had one of those plastic handlebar bag mounts break on him about 300 miles from home. I really didn't like the handelbar mount on the Ortlieb bag as I didn't fit my stem very well. I couldn't adjust it so I could see the map.
The other issue I had was that both the Arkel and the Ortlieb bags have external mesh pockets. The Ortlieb bag may be waterproof, but that doesn't help the contents of the external mesh pockets. So buying a raincover to protect the whole bag didn't really bother me. It was only about the price of the optional map case for the Ortlieb anyway. The map case is included in an Arkel bag.
I also noted that most problems with bar bags that came into the shop were related to either the mounting bracket breaking, or the support cable snapping.
So you bought what worked for you and I bought what worked for me.

I have nothing against arkel, but this bag looks really cheap (fabric, zippers, lots of imperfections) to me and i just couldn't understand why they didn' t make something better, because with this mounting system they could have been the best in todays market. Ortlieb with its plastic parts wouldn't have been any competition to them. Maybe Arkel needs to involve customers in the making process to find out what is more important for the product. right now i want to buy arkels mounting system only and attach it to my ortlieb bag. Todays best combination for sure.
But their hardware IS sold seperately and I've used it myself for a number of projects so its possible that if you saw something in the street with poor materials and construction - that it wasn't made by them.

Blogs Liberty and Power The "No" PartyMar 7, 2004 1:41 pm
The "No" Party
Congress thought they'd better get busy regulating space. I thought this was an Onion-type satire at first glance, but it is clearly serious. The last paragraph is worth the price of admission alone:
Out-of-this-world vacations moved a step closer to reality Thursday with House passage of legislation setting guidelines for the future space tourism industry.
Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Science Committee, said that while he first thought the legislation was"a little flighty," he came to realize that"this is about a lot more than joy rides in space. This is about the future of the U.S. aerospace industry."
Laws already exist to regulate private sector space endeavors such as satellite launches, but there is no legal jurisdiction for regulating commercial human spaceflight.
The House bill, which passed 402-1, gives regulatory authority over human flight to the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation.
To make it easier for companies to test new types of reusable suborbital rockets, the bill gives the office the authority to issue experimental permits that can be obtained more quickly and with less bureaucracy than licenses.
It also requires the Office of Commercial Space Transportation to come up with regulations for crew pertaining to training and medical conditions. Space tourists would have to be informed of the risks involved in their travel.
The bill also extends for three years an existing law under which commercial space launch companies are required to carry liability insurance, capped at $500 million, with assurances that the government will compensate for losses above that.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., chairman of the Science Committee's space panel and sponsor of the bill, said encouraging private entrepreneurs to develop new space travel technology would have spinoffs for the Pentagon."Our great space entrepreneurs," he said,"are going to be developing aerospace technologies that can be put into our national security."
The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration. The one dissenting vote was Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.

Orchestra parts with conductor
Published: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 5:22 p.m.
In an effort to strike up more fundraising amid declining ticket sales, the Ocala Symphony Orchestra is searching for a new conductor who lives closer to Ocala and can attend more community events, according to OSOs board president.
The board will not renew its contract with Atlanta resident James Plondke, the professional orchestras conductor and music director of eight years.
Plondke has been commuting to Ocala concerts and rehearsals Georgia. But last year, he moved from Valdosta (near the state line) to Atlanta to teach music at Westminister Junior High School.
OSO has made substantial budget cuts, and board president Toni James said the orchestra simply needs a conductor/music director who can attend more fundraisers and schmooze with potential donors and sponsors.
But a clearly disheartened Plondke contends he attended all fundraisers the board requested of him.
They were having the problem, not me. All this came as a big shock to me, Plondke said Wednesday. Im deeply disappointed . . . Its a bitter pill for me to swallow, but I wish the enterprise well.
OSOs board cut its 2009-10 budget by 41 percent and plans to reduce its ranks from 65 musicians to 36, James said. The cuts come after a season of declining ticket sales, donations and sponsorships due to a recession that has many arts organizations across the country slashing budgets or closing doors.
This year has been pretty tough on us, James said. She estimated a 25 percent decline in ticket sales this season, as well as a 25 percent drop in donations.
James said she hopes the musician reduction is temporary and that OSO can amp up its roster again in better economic times. The musicians are paid. Many are local, but some come from Gainesville and other Florida cities.
The 41 percent budget cut amounts to about $123,000, James said, and the board based its projections on revenues and trends from this season.
James said qualifications for a new conductor/music director will be a maximum two-hour commute to Ocala that would allow more visibility at community and fundraising events.
Plondke said he had intended to continue with OSO, an orchestra he said he saved when he arrived eight years ago.
Plonke, who already selected the music for OSOs 2009-10 season, said he got the news several days ago.
He said it is common for conductors to live in other cities and noted he has been in Ocala 40 days within the last year.
We consider Ocala a second home. If we had the money, wed buy a home down there, he said.
Evans Haile, music director/conductor for the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra, understands the dilemma. He splits time between Gainesville and New York City and called it a fine line. An orchestra, he explained, needs a conductors connections to different places, while it also needs a conductor to build vital connections in its own community.
James said the board wants a music director who can spend lots of time in the community and also become active in education outreach programs in local schools. She also said the board has a dream of playing an outdoor pops concert as an OSO fundraiser, but noted Plondkes emphasis always had been on classical rather than pops programs.
She said there already has been interest in the position.
We definitely want them to be experienced in conducting. We want them to make sure the string section stays strong, she said.
James said praised Plondke for developing such a strong orchestra in a small city. In his eight years, the orchestra changed its name, sold out concerts in its former venue and moved to a larger hall.
Plonke, she said, strengthened the string section and recruited many professional musicians from other areas, particularly noted faculty members and performers from the University of Florida.
OSO is one of many orchestras struggling against a sour economy. The Philadelphia Orchestra and Pittsburgh Symphony made deep staff cuts in March, while The Atlanta Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra announced pay cuts.
In Ocala, the show will go on, James said. In fact, tickets are now on sale for next season, which starts in October. Plus, OSOs free concert on the square during the holidays an endangered event during the boards budget talks will happen, James said, thanks to OSO musicians who volunteered to play for free.

Upper-Level is a term used to classify powerful magical beings, such as witches, warlocks and demons. Generally, upper-level beings possess exceptionally strong powers and a high resistance to harm, making it difficult or even impossible to vanquish them.
Some beings are also described as being high-level, but this generally means the same as upper-level. Confusingly, the upper-level demon, Litvack, and the other leaders of the faction he was in, were described as 'generals' of the demonic legions. Their assistants were known as Level 2 Demons in the Book of Shadows.[1] Demons, such as Zahn, can achieve Upper-Level status through means such as soul trading.[2]

Carrasco connects on her clutch home run against the Tigers
May 14, 2012
LONG BEACH, Calif. - Sophomore Sarah Carrasco has been named the Big West Conference Player of the Week after a clutch performance in Long Beach State's win over Pacific Saturday that allowed the 49ers to claim the Big West Conference title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. It is the second career player of the week honor for Carrasco.
With Long Beach State needing a win over Pacific in the final game of the regular season to advance to the NCAA Tournament, Carrasco (Lakewood, Calif. / Lakewood HS) came off the bench to go 2-for-2 with a three-run home run and two runs scored in a 4-2 win over the Tigers. Carrasco entered the game in the top of the third inning to catch when pitcher Erin Jones-Wesley relieved Taylor Petty. Carrasco got the 49ers on the board in the bottom of the third when she singled and then came around to score with two outs on a base hit by Hannah De Gaetano to give LBSU a 1-0 lead. In the fourth inning, Carrasco made it 4-0 when she blasted a two-out three-run home run to left field. The homer was just the second of the season in 12 games at the 49er Softball complex.
In the three-game series against the Tigers, Carrasco went 3-for-6 with three runs scored and three RBI. She was 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI in the 49ers' two must-win games after Pacific won game one of the series. Carrasco finished the weekend with a 1.000 slugging percentage and a .571 on-base percentage.
Carrasco and the rest of the 49ers will open NCAA Tournament play Friday at the double-elimination Tempe Regional on the campus of Arizona State University where they will play Syracuse at 3:30 p.m. Third-seed Arizona State and LIU Brooklyn play in the other game at 6:30 on Friday.

Update on UmitkerUmitker is 46-years-old and lives with her four children and husband in a Ger (a Mongolian yurt or circular tent) in the Bayan-Ulgii province, Mongolia. All of her children study at the local high school and primary school.
She started to sell dairy products in 2003. She purchases organic dairy products from herders in the countryside and sells at her rental booth in local market to local residents. She is planning to purchase a large amount of organic dairy products and store them to sell during the winter when the price goes up.
She is a very optimistic and hard-working woman who says, "I have been taking advantage of Kiva loans at XacBank to run my business successfully as well as support my children's education." She is requesting a 3,000,000 MNT loan to purchase a large amount of organic dairy products to sell during the winter.
Previous Loan DetailsUmitker is 44 years old and lives with her four children and husband in a ger (a Mongolian yurt or circular tent) in the Bayan-Ulgii province of Mongolia.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of XacBank's green loan program, giving Mongolian farmers the support they need to grow and process organic fruits and vegetables despite harsh conditions and short growing seasons. These loans are used to obtain critical resources, like greenhouse space to shield crops from the cold, and training for traditionally nomadic entrepreneurs who lack agricultural experience. XacBank's green loan program also helps clients to improve their heating and ventilation systems, reducing pollution and health problems caused by burning fuel.
About XacBankThis loan is being administered through XacBank, a Mongolian for-profit microfinance institution. XacBank is located in every province of Mongolia, reaching some of the most rural micro business clients. With this Kiva loan, there is an opportunity for the entrepreneur to get a savings account including 9% of the interest if they pay back the loan on time. This is a special savings account that XacBank has specifically prepared for the Kiva loan borrowers to promote savings habits.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Robert Pattinson and his hair can't grieve forever. More
This week, they're playing a Stephenie Meyer-inspired game of Wed Bed Dead, in honor of Friday's opening of The Host .
…Jennifer, apparently has read The Host! More
I'm really glad that the intrepid team at BlackBook is scouring the web for the weirdest Valentine's day gifts possible. And they found it! They found this bizarre Twilight inspired cut-out!
I have a confession to make, you guys. Ever since I got a job where I have to look at stories about her regularly, I've found Kristen Stewart irresistibly attractive. What is wrong with me? Let's explore. More
This picture of of Twilight star Robert Pattinson modeling Chinese underwear is going to change your whole impression of him. Well, I mean, maybe not that much. Robert Pattinson is already known for wearing women's clothing, so, really, this isn't quite like finding out that Vin Diesel was a Chinese underwear model. Well, that we know of. Yet. More
As the year 2012 drew to a close, many idiots feared that the world as we know it would end along with it. Luckily, it did not, and we have received many assurances since then that this mad, mad, mad, mad world will continue on more or less unchanged, at least for now. The sun is still shining, our bodies are still working, and Kristen Stewart is still making that infuriatingly attractive sullen/stoned face in various magazines; this time, it's in V. Look and be reassured. More
Kristen Stewart is still pounding the pavement for the last installment of Twilight (in addition to promoting her upcoming Kerouac-based indie, On the Road)–and she's got some Balenciaga duties to uphold. Along the promotional trail, she landed the cover of Australian Marie Claire, and not only gave them a few weirdly puffy, positive quotes (we'll get to that) she even almost smiled (above). More
With apologies to Richard Connell.
"Off to the right–somewhere–is a large island," said Whitney. "It's rather a mystery–"
"What island is it?" Renee asked.
"The old charts call it `Authoress Island,"' Whitney replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition–" More
Recently, the talented and awesome Jen Dziura filed an excellent piece for the site about how emotions typically associated with men (anger, shouting) aren't considered emotions, whereas emotions typically associated with women are (moreover, that these kinds are viewed as weaknesses). The post got a lot of love around the internet, but you might never know from the comment thread, which was bombed by too many hateful bros to count… More
In order of ascending probability:
It's time for the final installment of Twilight and everyone to move on from this mess. Here's the cast–including Kristen Stewart, Kristen Stewart's Ass, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Dakota Fanning and many more–looking fancy and wistful in their shiny neutral finest on the red carpet last night. Also, was there a single (completely) successful look in the whole bunch? More
We've taken a big step as a society and finally reached the release of the final Twilight movie–we can collectively sigh that this part of culture will soon become the past as Twihards grow up and get jobs and deal with the mounting guilt of naming their daughters fucking Renesme. More
Have their publicists renewed their contracts? More

Rarely does a month go by that we don't read in the news how self storage facilities are improving their websites and increasing their use of online technology. More and more, self storage owners are learning and understanding how to use a website for marketing, for getting information out to prospective and current customers, and for making it easier for people to sign up for and to pay for storage units.
A study conducted by comScore and iProspect indicated that potential clients were twice as likely to visit a business' website before visiting a physical location. Two-thirds of shoppers start their shopping process by going online. American Classic Self Storage in Virginia realizes how critical a good website is for a business.
American Classic has recently launched an updated website. The old site was outdated and "busy" and there wasn't any way to get accurate site statistics. When they started looking for a web design company to work with, they wanted to work with a company that was familiar with the self storage industry. So, American Classic hired WebWorks to overhaul their site.
With the new site design, John Wharton, American Classic marketing manager/district manager, can view the site statistics in the site's dashboard. Based on that information, he changes and adapts his marketing efforts accordingly.
Wharton can now see how many unique visitors their site gets, where the traffic comes from, the number of phone calls each facility receives, the number of coupons printed, the number of inquiries, and the number of reservations made.
Knowing these statistics allows Wharton to create special sales according to where the highest demand is or to provide more employee training if necessary. For example, because of the site statistics, American Classic is running a move-in contest and will post pictures and results to their website.
"We are seeing improvement with manager response time, and managers understanding the whole sales and marketing cycle, from a customer researching a storage unit, reserving it, renting it, and becoming a customer," Wharton said. "The process is important. The more we can learn about our customers and the process in how they find us, the better American Classic can take care of them."
American Classic was in the process of incorporating Site Link to all of its 11 facilities. Site Link allows customers to rent units and pay their monthly bill online. American Classis was also starting to use Twitter and Facebook. WebWorks incorporated all of those features into the new site.
American Classic Storage has 4 locations in Virginia Beach, 2 in Williamsburg, and 1 in each of Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Chesapeake, and Fredericksburg.

Saving Seeds
Wildfong, Bob, Alternatives Journal
Farmers and gardeners are the best hope for protecting what remains of food plant diversity
THE ABILITY TO ACQUIRE viable, well-adapted seeds has allowed human beings to form civilizations, set up permanent settlements and build cities, supported by a reliable and bountiful source of food.
Throughout history, hundreds of species of plants have diverged from their wild roots. It is their ability to adapt and change that has made plants so important to us. Without controlled breeding and selection, it would be impossible to grow acres of corn as far north as Canada, wheat would be no more than a wild grass, and all apples would be tiny crabapples.
Many times, we have had to change the kinds of food crops that we grow. As people moved to different areas of the world and developed different farming technologies -- from simple ploughs to giant combines -- their seeds changed with them.
We have inherited thousands of varieties of useful plants that exist only because farmers and gardeners have grown them, produced seeds, and grown them again. Hardly any of these domesticated plants could live without human care. Our plants are a chain of seed-saving, but that chain is breaking.
The natural and human history of our food system is at the roots of issues affecting crop diversity in modern times. In the 1920s and 30s, the Russian biologist and explorer N.I. Vavilov studied the genetic distribution of cultivated plants throughout the world and discovered that their greatest natural diversity occurred in several tropical and subtropical regions. He concluded that crop plants had originated in these regions, which he called "gene centres", later to be known as "centres of diversity". [1]
Agriculture is considered to have begun independently in three areas of the world, where edible grains grew in the wild: wheat, barley and millet in North Africa, beans and corn in Central and South America, rice in east Asia. Early hunter-gatherers discovered that these grains could be planted intentionally, putting an end to the nomadic need to travel to find more food. [2]
When the earliest farmers began cultivating foodgrain crops, seeds were part of their harvest. The kernels of wheat and millet that they ate were also used to plant their next crop. Seed saving was a natural act of setting aside a portion of the harvest to be sown at planting time. In contrast to our modern practice of buying seeds as an input, early farmers used seeds as part of a self-renewing cycle.
Until recently, farmers in the centres of diversity have had an enormous selection of wild plants to include in their seed stocks. Wild relatives of crop plants that displayed drought tolerance, insect resistance, or other favourable qualities would be brought into cultivation to eventually give those strengths to the cultivated crop. Since each farmer could propagate a slightly different set of varieties, or a different ensemble of plant genes, a staggering number of useful plant varieties evolved on the simple farms of Africa, Latin America and Asia.
The collections of seeds grown by traditional farmers are often called "landraces" or "farmers' varieties". [3] These are mixed, highly diverse populations. In a field of traditional African landrace wheat, the plants are genetically heterogeneous. Many slightly different plants grow side by side, creating a form of crop insurance. If dry weather suits certain plants, then those plants thrive. If the weather turns cold and wet, others grow better. Either way, there is usually an adequate harvest, and rarely a total crop failure.
Traditional farmers trade seeds with one another, always searching for those that grow best on their particular patch of land. The best grains are saved for planting and only the second-grade seeds are used for food. High-land farmers and low-land farmers often have different types of plants, fields on sand and fields on clay support different types, all developed through natural and human selection. …

Kelsey's Muesli Granola Bars
My friend and fellow nutrition classmate Kelsey took the basic Baked Oatmeal Snack Bar recipe and kicked it up a notch with a bunch of nutty mix-ins. These are the best homemade granola bars I've ever had – very authentic!
Combine all ingredients in a big bowl. Line a pan(s) with parchment and spread batter into pan. Bake at 375* for around 30 minutes.
NOTE: Kesley reports she used an 8×8 pan and a 4×6 pan together and the batter was about half an inch thick. When going into the oven, the mix will be watery and should firm up.
Makes about 10 2×2 bars. Each bar is roughly 160 calories, 7 grams fat, 3.2 grams fiber, and 5.4 grams protein.

In the ingredients, I don't understand the 1/2 cup muesli; I thought muesli was a yogurt dish? Do you mean just a 1/4c of dried fruits and seeds? Thanks!
Also, could I leave out the ground flax without any adverse affects to the baking? And if I don't have 4 dried peaches, can I just leave it out or must I substitute it with something- in that case. what volume of substitute dried fruit?
Thank you Kath!

what's the texture of these? like the baked oat bars or more crunchy/chewy like a real granola bar?
(also. 1/4 what of flax? Tbsp?)
- 5 October 10, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Awesome recipe! I've always been a little intimidated at making my own granola bars but I think I may hafta try these ones.

Decided to cancel my Sunday mtb ride, so instead I did a road ride out to William Pond park and back (from my house) for about 35 miles.

Google Changes "Sponsored Links" to "Ads" – Watch your Click-Through Rates
Posted on Thursday, November 11th, 2010 by Alec Green Print This Post
Categories - Featured, News, SEM
In conducting research for my blog post on Instant Previews, I noticed yet another change to the ubiquitous Google search results page. And based on the results of a new study from a Harvard Business School professor, this change could pose a far more serious threat to your click-through rate (CTR) than Instant Previews covering up ads.
Without much fanfare, Google has replaced the label "Sponsored Links" with the word "Ads" above both the top 3 paid results as well as the right-hand rail:
Google made this change on November 4 and confirmed the roll-out to Barry Schwartz at Search Engine Land. Google has officially retired the term "Sponsored Links" on all English language domains, and will be rolling it out to other domains and languages in the near future. At the time of this writing, "Sponsored Links" is still being used on Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Shopping.
With all the tweaks Google has made recently to its standard results page, what impact could a change from "Sponsored Links" to "Ads" really have? Long before Google made the switch, Ben Edelman and his research team set out to answer this question.
Edelman conducted an online experiment in which he asked a random group of internet users to answer two questions based on research using a search engine. The subjects were directed to use a custom URL provided by the research team. For half the subjects in the study, each reference to "Sponsored Links" in the Google results page was replaced by "Paid Advertisements" as shown here:
Edelman's study included questions pertaining to "commercial research" (searching for a mattress retailer) as well as more "informational research" (researching various cancer treatments). Across the entire sample and all types of searches, Edelman estimates that a change from "Sponsored Links" to "Paid Advertisements" yielded a 25 to 33% reduction in clicks on advertisements.
The study has a sound methodology and the entire article is definitely worth a read. It includes a detailed overview of the prior research into this topic as well as the role of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in regulating pay-per-click advertising.
Edelman maintains that Google has not gone far enough with this recent change. The FTC has called for advertising disclosures to be both "clear" and "conspicuous." I certainly consider the term "Ads" to be more clear than "Sponsored Links," but Edelman provides a convincing argument for why the term "Ads" will not be nearly as effective as "Paid Advertisements" in distinguishing the sponsored from organic results.
What do you think of Google's latest change? Have they gone far enough with this disclosure? Had you even noticed Google's new advertising label? And what impact (if any) do you believe it will have on search behavior? Leave a comment and let us know.

Two men pleaded innocent to heroin distributionFebruary 08,2013Two men deny heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men pleaded innocent at criminal court in Brattleboro on Thursday for allegedly distributing heroin in the greater Brattleboro area.
Joshua Hartwell, 25, of Brattleboro and Julio Davila, 32, of Holyoke, Mass. were subjects of a three-month investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to Matt Birmingham of the Narcotics Investigation Unit said. Hartwell and Davila were arrested on Wednesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston.
Hartwell and Davila were each charged with selling, trafficking and possession of heroin. Hartwell is being held on $10,000 bail and Davila $100,000 because of an active arrest warrant for unrelated charges, a criminal court clerk said.
Status conferences for Hartwell and Davila have not been determined.

If you want to sell old gold jewelry and video games, you'll find new requirements in Greenwood.
In the past, you could sell your Xbox gaming system and other valuables to secondhand shops without giving your name and leave the stores with cash.
Now, those businesses are required to apply for licenses through the city controller's office, and the license requires the business to get the names and descriptions of items sold from the sellers. The businesses also aren't allowed to buy items from sellers younger than 18, people who are intoxicated or people who they suspect stole the item, such as copper wire, gaming systems or jewelry.
The businesses also must keep the items on hand for seven days after buying them and keep records so police can verify the businesses were following city rules. Previously, the rules applied to pawn shops in the city but not other secondhand stores, such as places that buy gold or video games.
The new licensing and other requirements will help the police department find stolen jewelry, electronics and other valuables, Greenwood Police Chief John Laut said. The city council approved the rule change 8-0.

Nadal and Djokovic to face off in the US Open men's final
He finally did it. On a picturesque day at Flushing Meadows, Rafael Nadal reached his first EVAH US Open final defeating Mikhail Youzhny 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. The top seed has been in devastating form the entire tourney not dropping a set to reach the final Sunday and today was no exception. He cracked 23 winners against 19 errors, had a 65% on first serves including 3 aces and made 15 of 23 net approaches.
Misha was comprehensively outplayed the entire match and seemed to be feeling the effects of his 5-set battle with Stanislas Wawrinka in the quarterfinals. The Russians energy couldn't match the moment or his opponent's (but really, who can match Rafa point to point?) His only chance, which he took, came in the third set with the Matador leading with a break and serving at 4-3. He grabbed the break only to give it right back allowing Rafa to close out the match.
After his victory leap and post-match celebration he thanked the crowd for their support and gave a mention to the 9-year anniversary of 9/11. A touch of grace by the 8-time Grand Slammer.
In a match for the ages Novak Djokovic saved two match points to overcome Roger Federer 5-7, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 and reach his second US Open final. The Serb had lost to the 5-time champ in the 2007 final and at this same stage the past two years so he carried an orangutan on his back as he walked onto Arthur Ashe Stadium for this battle.
But he came ready to break that streak digging deeper than he ever has, striking back when behind and keeping an aggressive stance in the key moments - the biggest one being, of course, the final set. And what an epic final set it was. The pair showcased awesome offense mixed with spectacular defense and brave forays into the net. It was a shot maker's wet dream.
Speaking of shot making, Nole faced those MP's serving down 4-5 with class including a swinging FH volley winner and a FH winner down the line to get back to even in the game. He earned the only break of the set at 5-all and sealed the win when the second seed's BH went wide. Even the Serb seemed shocked by the upset staring in disbelief at his box for what seemed like an eternity then dropping to his knees to kiss the court.
Fed was undone by UEs (66 in total compared to 38 for Nole) particularly on his fave FH side in crucial moments and none bigger than in the 10th game of the final set when two errors on that side gave the Serb the break. He lives and dies by that stroke and today, as it's been in many of his recent losses, it failed to come through when it mattered.
So, anyone else's mouth watering for Rafole? Mine might be.

Given a choice, Jacob Hash and Spencer Wood would prefer to be joined at the regional by the entire Franklin boys golf team.
But after the Grizzly Cubs fell one stroke short of advancing as a team at last week's sectional, Hash and Wood are delighted to have moved on as individual qualifiers.
The regional is Thursday at Champions Pointe Golf Club in Henryville. Hash qualified with a 1-over-par 73, a career-low. Wood advanced with a 78.
Sectional champion Center Grove advanced as a team. Although Franklin missed the team cut, coach Curt Holcroft couldn't be happier for Hash and Wood.
"The personalities of these two kids are almost identical. Both are quiet and lead by example," Holcroft said. "They just go about their business and do the work they're supposed to."
Hash, who has occupied the No. 3 slot in the lineup, has had his good days and bad days this season but saved his best for the sectional round at Heartland Crossing.
"I just keep punching away at it, and on Friday I felt my game coming together," Hash said of his sectional performance. "I set two goals for the day: no double-bogeys and no three-putts, although I did have one three-putt hole.
"My swing has always been good. I just have to play within my own skin and stay out of the way of myself."
Wood has been the Cubs' No. 5 player — the same number he wears on his jersey as a member of the Cubs' varsity basketball team.
"Jake and I have been working hard all season," Wood said. "I've stayed after practice and put the hours in to improve my game. What's been most important is learning course management and keeping a discipline about it.
"Really, I just mind my own business out on the course."
What Hash and Wood have achieved is a reminder of 2003 U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk, known for his quiet demeanor. One of his nicknames is "The Businessman."
Holfcroft sees the same quality in his regional qualifiers.
"I love that in them," Holcroft said. "With a player who gets too emotionally high or too emotionally low, their round is like a roller-coaster and leaves them drained. With Jake and Spencer, they're just so even-keeled; and no matter what's going on, they keep focus and keep it going. That's what you want in a player, especially with their caliber of play.
"They don't chit-chat a lot. Honestly, when you look at them, you couldn't tell if they were having the worst day of their life or the best day of their life. The ironic thing is, when you get the whole team together, they act differently in a fun way than what you see on the course."
Hash and Wood understand what's in front of them Thursday at the challenging Fuzzy Zoeller championship course, where they'll be playing against some of the top-ranked teams and best golfers in the state.
Only the top five individuals and top three teams will advance to the June 20-21 state finals at The Legends Golf Club in Franklin.
What they'll be shooting for is yet another day to play on.

This is a free site, no charge to park. This is in the parking lot for the casino. There are utility poles on either end of the lot with numerous hook ups, 50 amp, 30 amp, regular house hold plugs. The lot is on a pretty good slope so we could not get level but we got close. We tried backing in with our head down but it would take too many blocks to level. We ended up side on and got close to level. No water or sewer hookup. This is a first come first served type of set up. The lot is monitored by security camera and a regular drive through. They knew we were there right away and a lady showed up in a truck to see if we were doing OK and to offer a ride to the casino, just a short walk away. We were made to feel very welcome and we told we could stay as long as we wanted. Would use this spot again if in the area. - BMain

The Lucky Star Casino is located approximately 1 mi off I-40 and provides an overflow paved parking lot for RV parking. Access to the casino is easy and we used N2274 Rd from the interstate. Actual address of the casino is 101 North Indian Hospital Road, Clinton, Oklahoma 73601. The overflow parking lot is paved and approximately 200 yards from the actual casino. There are many "dry" RV sites available. At the east and west end of the parking lot are located very large grey electrical boxes which supply 50 amp power for at least 2 backed-in RVs each, however the slope of the pavement is significant and we had difficulty leveling. As no other RVs were in the area we parallel parked at one of the boxes and had no leveling issues. The casino offers the RV sites for free and thus it is a good overnight stop. Staff were very friendly and security patrols were evident. A shuttle service will take you to the casino. The casino also provided my wife and I each with a $10 gambling credit. - Darrell M

Small Talk
Suzanne Barlyn answers questions on franchise deals, overseas credit reports and the cost of apps
Q: I have been approved for a popular sandwich franchise. This is my first time in a business. What is the most important language to look for in a franchise contract?
Journal Report
Read the complete Small Business report .
A: A franchise contract is a long and complex legal document that will bind you and the franchiser to certain responsibilities. It's a good idea to review the contract with a lawyer, especially since this is your first time in business.
Be aware, though, that this review is mostly to let you know what you're getting yourself into—you won't have much bargaining power with the franchiser. And once you sign on the dotted line, you will be taking on significant obligations.
It's best to conduct your due diligence well ahead of time. That includes reviewing not only the contract, but also the disclosure statement that franchisers are legally required to provide before you sign. The disclosure document can spell out details such as how much you'll have to pay for advertising.
One of the most important considerations to keep in mind when you're reading the deal: Can the franchiser sell another outlet close to your business, including an airport kiosk or a counter in a megastore?
"Be wary of intrabrand competition. If they can put someone across the street, that will hurt you," says Ronald Gardner, a lawyer with Dady & Gardner in Minneapolis. Also check with the franchiser to see if anyone else owns franchise rights in your area but hasn't yet built an outlet.
Look for other types of competition, too, such as the franchiser's right to sell branded products like salad dressing and taco shells in the supermarket. If people can buy those products and cook them at home, they might be less inclined to stop in your store to grab a bite.
Some franchisers require you to run the shop yourself, instead of hiring a manager, says Harris Chernow, a lawyer for Chernow Kapustin LLC in Horsham, Pa. This could be a problem if you have another job or other responsibilities. The contract may also prohibit you from buying franchises from other companies or owning a local, independent business that could be deemed a competitor, Mr. Chernow says. You may also need to get approval to buy more franchises from the same company, or sell the one you own.
Finally, be aware of the risks you may take if there's a legal dispute. The contract may require you to submit to arbitration or go to court in a city far from home. "On the day you're signing up, it's the happiest day of your life," says Mr. Gardner. "People don't stop and think, 'What if this doesn't work out?' "
Q: Can you recommend credit bureaus that offer credit reports on an international scale? In other words, how can a U.S. small-business owner check on a prospective client in, say, Colombia, Brazil, South Africa or France?
—Rafael Gerena
Orlando, Fla.
A: Credit bureaus are making it easier for small businesses to conduct some basic but critical due diligence on prospective overseas clients. Experian Business Information Services, a unit of Experian, recently launched an international credit-report service for businesses at experian.com/b2bglobal.
Small-business owners considering a relationship with an overseas company can look into details such as business liens, credit scores and bankruptcy information. Experian relies on its bureaus in a specific region, or partner bureaus, to obtain the information, says Adam Fingersh, senior vice president of marketing for Experian Business Information Services in Costa Mesa, Calif.
Coverage may be limited, however, depending on factors such as the length of time that the business has been in operation. Pricing for the international reports starts at $100, and can go higher depending on their complexity.
Another service, International Company Profile, or ICP, a unit of London-based Wilmington Group WIL 0.20 % PLC, offers credit-reporting services for businesses in emerging markets, where Internet-based information may be unavailable. The company relies on a multilingual staff to conduct research, such as looking into a company's history, according to its website. Reports include information about companies' credit and management, among other details.
Pricing depends on region and delivery timing, but starts at around $85. A free company search and ordering information are available at icpcredit.com.
Q: While structuring my recent start-up, I ran into a snag. I want to have a key feature of my company provided heavily through an app. Would providing an online and mobile application increase my start-up costs?
A: The short answer is yes: Providing apps will increase your start-up costs.
If you build a simple app yourself, using a free program such as AppMakr, from PointAbout Inc., you'll end up paying developer fees at app stores, among other costs. For a highly customized app on the scale of Foursquare, the service through which users share their location with friends, "you'll need to hire people," says Naval Ravikant, a San Francisco-based entrepreneur and angel investor.
A less sophisticated iPhone app that only displays information about your company could run about $25,000 in fees to developers. Something more complex, such as a sports app that features live broadcasts along with real-time interactive features, could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. What's more, building one app is often not enough, says William Carleton, a lawyer for McNaul Ebel Nawrot & Helgren PLLC in Seattle who advises start-ups. An iPhone app, for example, won't work on Android devices and vice versa, he says.
