Here's the thing about this render that purportedly is of the HTC Incredible: It's probably pretty close. The shape and lines are pretty much what we've seen leaked out any number of ways. (Like this, or this, or this, or this.) But it's just a render, we don't when it was, erm, rendered (or by whom), and it's missing the ring around the trackpad that actually lets you click on things. So take it for what it is, but don't get overly excited about it. [Wikipedia via Android and Me]
Yes, it's a render of the HTC Incredible ... and it's only a render

Turn down the fanboyism. I don't see the EVO taking over because;
1. Sprints 4G coverage is limited
2. I don't see a lot of people jumping ship to go to Sprint
3. I don't see Sprint mounting the type of blitz Verizon did for the Droid
4. No one knows how well the actual phone will perform. It could be a buggy pig.
Sprint's 4G is limited? Where is Verizons?? By years end, there will be 120Mil+ on Sprint's 4G, whereas, Verizon will not have 4G until mid 2011 at the earliest! There is no guarantee Verizon will have a 4G handset by that time either. The 3G iphone was launched with "limited" 3G. A lot of people will be jumping over to Sprint, you not seeing Sprint "mounting" the type of ad blitz Verizon did, is your problem. Do you know how well the Incredible will perform? No, you don't!
I agree with these points but I also echo the "cut the fanboyism" sentiment. I will personally be buying Evo because the 3G coverage is equal to Verizon's in my city, not to mention the whole 4G thing as well as price. Still, that's not the case for everyone and clearly this thread is about the Incredible...a phone lots of people will want.
A lot of people will be jumping ships to Sprint just because of the speed... and the phone is going to perform good just like any other 3G HTC phone but 10x faster!!! I not a fan of any cellphone company... I go with the best carrier for me needs (I had Verizon, T-mobile and now AT&T for the iphone) but guess what? I need more speed and better signal than AT&T + Sprint is way CHEAPER I don't see any reason why people shouldn't be jumping to the yellow ship!
I'm sure Sprint will create a huge blitz for this phone it's just to far away for just wait for it!!!
I'm not even going to saying nothing about the "limited 4G coverage", I was going to compare with over carriers but wait! Yes now I remember Sprint is the only carrier with 4G (120 millions by the end of the year)
Well, how can you not be a fan of the EVO. That thing is a beast. Yeah, people will find thinks to nit-pick at but that will be more of preference things like, "screen too big" or "no physical keyboard", but A LOT of people will switch to Sprint for the EVO guaranteed. I even hear people that have the iPhone, the "best" smart-phone out, say that they will get the EVO and dump their iPhone. There are just too many things to like about the EVO that other phones don't have, especially in one package; 4.3" screen, 8mp camera, 720p hd recording, 4G network, front facing camera for video chat, Android, 1Ghz processor, HTC *new* sence UI, ect. Wow, that's a lot of stuff that people will definitely jump ship for. I'm not saying that everyone will come to Sprint for the EVO either but like I said, a lot will switch over.
Now about the Incredible. It looks like an awesome phone. The front looks almost exactly like the EVO. I'm sure this phone will be a big hit with Verizon customers. Will have to see.
I agree with you 100% on this and I don't want to take anything away from the incredible it's just that Verrizon fan boys are going way to crazy for this... I don't even want to imagine the EVO on verizon they would go nuts!!!
Both devices are great but they just can't admit that Sprint is getting a similar device but way better!!! lol (Same happpen with the iPhone when it came out)
really. verizon customers go crazy over anything new. this thing isnt even groundbreaking. its not that much of a step up from what is already on the market. the evo is though, a much bigger step
the problem with the evo, is that i would never get it. i think that the screen size it too big. i mean, i know its not that different from the incredible's screen, but i think its bigger enough to make the difference. dont get me wrong, if i was in sprint's network i would probably be thinking abotu the evo, but that screen size would have me double thinking the phone...
Whatever the case, if the phone looks anything close to that, it will be one sexy device.
Looks like a nice device and the specs are rock*, but I'd still prefer the nexus one on Verizon...Crossing my fingers for a release soon...

Just found this site as I've recently begun researching bikes. Looks like loads of good info which I'll hafta spend some time sorting through.
As I get started, are there any good FAQs to help sort out the wheat from the chaff? (like, is a bike with a suspension really helpful for comfortable riding/cruising or just fluff?) If so, that'll help me keep from boring the regulars with the same old questions that a poorly worded search didn't find!
Me? I'm 54 and could use a bit of exercise. I have young kids who really want me to ride with them! (ages ~6 and ~8). So I think I'm sorta looking for a hybrid . I haven't ridden in years and find the sport has... changed!

Update on AkossiwaAkossiwa lives with her husband, a mechanic, and their children in Lomé. To help her husband with the household expenses, she began by selling general grocery products in a shop. This is the business she is presently in. She is asking for her second loan from WAGES to buy sacks of rice, cartons of tomatoes, tins of vegetable oil, and other products to sell in order to make a profit. With the extra profit, she would like to build a house to rent out, expand her shop in order to become a wholesaler, and improve living conditions for the family. She is 27 years old.
Previous Loan DetailsAkossiwa lives in Lomé with her four children and her husband, a mechanic. Three of the couple's children attend school. In order to help her husband to provide for the family, she started selling general food products from home in 2003. She is taking a first loan from WAGES to buy bags of r...

Additional Information
About Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and SocialThis loan is administered by Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and Social (WAGES), Togo's second-largest microfinance institution. Along with a wide range of savings and loan products, WAGES offers its clients training programs in basic literacy, health care (HIV/AIDS and malaria), and business-related subjects (business management, marketing, accounting). You can show your support for WAGES by joining its lending team!
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.

Color & StyleWritten by on March 3, 2004 Contributors: Damon Lee, R&C Archives Picking the Right Paint For You and Your Car
"It's the last thing you do to a car, but it's the first thing people see." That's how Roger Ward puts it. He ought to know. He's been painting cars for 50 years. Few things can make or break a street rod or custom car like paint. The right paint color and design style will enhance an already cool car, or make an otherwise average one stand out. The wrong one...
Let's stick to doing it right. The problem is, how do you do it right in a game where there are no rules? When faced with such a question, we did what we always do...ask somebody else--in this case, four of our favorite prominent painter friends: Andre Carey, Zane Cullen, Pete Santini, and Roger Ward. We asked them about current trends and how to pick the best possible paint for a rod or custom.
One point shared by everyone we spoke to was the importance of talking to the painter or designer during the entire process. Although the owner is the client, the painter is the artist and can help the owner determine the paint that will not only look the best on the vehicle, but that will make the owner happy. Andre says he's had only one customer come in who knew exactly what color he wanted--black. More commonly, customers are daunted by the number of choices from companies like PPG and House of Kolor and appreciate the opinion of a professional.
Santini tries to figure out who the customer is in order to determine the paint that will suit his wishes. "I'm not going to put airbrushed graphics or lime green flames on a car if the guy's other car is a Mercedes 500SL." The car should reflect the owner's personality as much as his taste, whether it's sophisticated, conservative, flashy, or otherwise. Zane recommends using an artist or designer who can help a car owner determine whether or not his concepts work in reality and help the painter understand what the owner has in mind.
The paint is as important to the theme of the car as every other component and should be consistent with the overall theme. Look at the whole car and pick colors that will suit the overall approach. On a '50s-style rod that would mean colors and styles evocative of that era. If the car is a progressive high-tech ride, maybe you go a little wilder. On a street rod with an elegant interior and more exotic drivetrain, some rich, classy colors might be right.
Finally, painters and owners should consider the car's intended purpose. If this is a daily driver, skip the $1,000-a-quart pearl paint for the front fenders and stick with simpler paints that can be retouched easily and cheaply--and choose colors that you won't get tired of looking at every day or that won't be out of style in two or three years. If the car is meant to be an "in your face" show winner and magazine magnet for only a few years before the next big project, you can be a little bolder and trendier with color and design.
When picking colors, think beyond what you've already seen on other cars, or what you see in paint company palette samples. Pro painters get their influences from all over. Zane studies magazines and drawings for creative ideas. According to Andre, inspiration for colors comes from everything from sunsets to shopping malls. The colors for his Starliner came from one of his dress shirts. Pete Santini also looks to fashion as well as interior design for colors and combinations, and Roger Ward has borrowed from vintage airplane schemes.
Color Combos
Two-tone paint schemes have been growing in popularity, which makes picking the right paint doubly difficult. Traditional combos of neutral and primary colors are always safe, but not always the most interesting. Lately, silvers as well as oranges and coppers have been popular colors in two-tone jobs. Almost all the painters we interviewed identified Troy Trepanier as a master of mixing two disparate colors and making them work. Andre says that one of the tricks when using certain colors that could be overbearing is to use one or the other in moderation. Pete Santini recommends separating two strong colors with a neutral color (such as tan or black) in between, usually a pinstripe. This separates the colors but helps tie them together.
The purpose of picking the right paint is to draw attention to the car. Roger always encourages his customers to think about unique colors that haven't been done too many times in order to get some interest. Attention, however, can be a tricky thing. The question is: How much attention you want, and from whom? Bright colors and showy effects like flames and chameleon paint are sure to elicit "oohs" and "aahs" from the general public, but there are many jaded hot rodders who are more discerning. As Roger pointed out, if it's just attention you want, setting the car on fire will accomplish your goal quickly. A good paint job will call attention to every aspect of the vehicle, instead of overriding them. Your car's paint is like a woman's makeup or a man's suit. It should complement the looks without calling attention to the fact that it's there.
What's Hot
We asked the pros what they were seeing and what their customers were looking for that seemed to be the growing trends. Everybody mentioned earth tones-coppers, golds, burnt oranges, browns, cinnamons, and deep reds, as well as shades of green like the colors Chip Foose used on the Grand Master Chevy and Troy Trepanier used on Chicayne. Many of these colors have been around for decades, but, as Zane Cullen noted, modern materials have given them greater depth, gloss, and range. Lighter metallic and pearl colors have taken over as well. Pete Santini sees pewter silver surpassing white in popularity. Flames are continuing to engulf more rods in a wider variety of styles. Everybody acknowledged the big comeback of metalflake. Hot in the '60s, 'flake migrated over to the lowrider scene but is quickly making its way back. It's fun and it's different. "It's not like wearing a tuxedo," Santini said. "It's like wearing a shiny satin shirt."
Keep Cool
What's the secret to making sure the paint you spray today will still look great in 2008? Most painters feel that today's neutral, classier-looking colors are not likely to go out of style for several years. Roger Ward emphasizes trying to stay ahead of the trends, "getting on the wave early," as Zane Cullen put it. That involves trusting your instincts. In the end, you're the expert when it comes to determining your own taste. Don't worry as much about following a trend as finding a paint color and design style you know you will like for as long as you own your car.
Easy Free (or Low-$) Paint Tips
*When trying to choose the right color for your ride, narrow the choices down by selecting a particular color "family" first. For example, reds and oranges, or blues and greens, or light metallics, or earthtones.
*Pick a color you can live with for a long time. Paint is expensive. You don't want to be doing this again in five years.
*A paper match (available for free everywhere) can be used as a makeshift brush to touch up tiny scratches. Remove the match from the book and use the match base (not the sulfur-coated head) as a substitute for a fine paintbrush.
*Pick a color that goes with the style of the car. Don't paint your Deuce roadster Pepto Pink if you want it to look like it just rolled out of the '50s.
*Ask for second opinions on color combos from friends or spouses who have good taste. Don't ask for advice from your buddy who wears plaid pants and white patent-leather shoes.
*Don't ask too many people, though. Outside opinions are valuable, but too much input can lead to confusion, bland committee decisions, or a tasteless mish-mash of disparate elements.
*Have an artist help you by drawing or designing various paint colors and schemes, using either pens and paint or computer-illustration software.
*Be wary of trendy colors that are hot at the moment. Remember all that aqua and pink from 10-15 years ago? It looks dated today.
*Provide contrast, whether it's chrome or contrasting-color wheels, grille, etc. Too much of one color can be just that--too much. Most big-name builders are putting side trim and other limited brightwork on cars again.
*Don't paint yourself into a corner. There's nothing wrong with picking a color early, just be open to advice as the build process continues.
*Enamel and urethane can be sprayed over other paint, including lacquer, that has cured. Lacquer, on the other hand, adheres by etching into the surface and cannot be applied over enamel or urethane paint. Keep in mind that lacquer is illegal to use in many places, including California.
*Painting from a rattlecan can be tough in cold weather (meaning temps below 70 degrees F). Try warming up the spray can by running it under warm (not hot) water for a few seconds then shaking the can to distribute the warm paint. Never run pressurized aerosol cans under hot water.
*Touch up hard-to-reach areas or tiny paint chips too small for a sandpiper with a sanding pen, such as the Spot Sanding Pen from 3M or the PrepPen from Pro Motorcar Products. They resemble ink markers and have a pointy tip containing thousands of glass fibers that reach where sandpaper can't. You can find them all over the Internet.
*Black, red, yellow, orange-these have always been the most prevalent colors on hot rods and customs. Why not white? Benefits of this non-color are that it's cooler (temperature-wise anyway) than dark colors, doesn't show dirt or flaws as easily, goes with any other color, and makes a great base for flames or other graphics.
*Testing colors on lightbulbs is an old trick from the '50s (Larry Watson used it), still used today. Spherical objects work better than flat surfaces because they allow you to see how the paint will look on curves and in a variety of light and shade situations.
*When painting, keep color off the rubber and rims by using wheel and tire covers--a far easier alternative to masking tires and wheels. The store that sold you the paint probably carries these. Or mount an old set of wheel and tires while painting the car. You'll still have to mask off the wheelwells but not the rolling stock.
*Ensure a tabletop-smooth finish by spraying a light coat of black paint over the primered sheetmetal. After sanding the panel smooth with 320-grit sandpaper, you'll notice all the slight depressions indicated by the black paint. Reprimer and repeat until you've got a smooth surface.
* Here's how to remove outline masking tape without goofing up the graphics: Use a slow, steady motion and always pull the tape straight back. Pulling into or away from the fresh paint can create a tear or otherwise blemish the finish.
*Read lots of car magazines. Go to lots of car shows. Look at what the pros have done for ideas you can adapt to your own vision.
*Be careful with gimmicks, such as chameleon paint, metalflake, unusual graphics, and other styles that may be a passing fad.
*When selecting colors, don't limit yourself to color chips in books. Look for colors on new car lots and late-model cars on the street. Pay attention to how the color changes in different lights and angles, and try to image how it would work on your car.
* Building a driver? Talk to your painter or paint rep about paints and colors that are easy to touch up. If you're using a custom-blended hue, be sure to mix up a little extra for touch-ups.
*The Paint Pen from Eastwood Company is another pen-like product that is very useful. Each disposable pen holds 1/3 ounce of paint and is intended for touching up nicks and chips, or for small-detail work. Eastwood also has Touch-Up pens pre-loaded with fast-drying enamel paint in popular colors, plus "Aluma Blast" and "Almost Chrome."
*Be honest with yourself. A wild paint job may look cool on somebody else's car, but don't go too crazy with your own paint scheme if your own taste is more conservative. After the initial rush wears off, you may wonder what the heck you were thinking.
Protect Your Paint With Film
3M has a new product to protect your paint from bugs, stones, and dirt. It even fights against UV rays. It's called Scotchgard Paint Protection Film. When professionally applied to the front end, wheelwells, door edges, fenders, bumper areas, and other portions of the car, this nearly invisible film helps preserve the finish without altering the appearance. Scotchgard Paint Protection Film is made from tough, conformable thermoplastic urethane with a UV clearcoat layer that matches the gloss of clearcoat paints and is held in place by a high-performance, pressure-sensitive adhesive. It will not split or tear or damage properly cured paint, but can be removed in one piece if necessary. For more information about Scotchgard Paint Protection Film call (888) 663-1394, ext.16, or visit www.3M.com/PaintProtectionFilm.

This three-window coupe is a good example of a well-done paint job. The earthtone gold shows off the lines of the fendered body and would be easy to touch up if necessary. The black paint on the top and grille is a good match for the brighter gold, and a simple, greenish-gold stripe prevents the two tones from colliding.A little color can go a long way. Lee Pratt's black Impala would lose some of its cool factor without the metallic purple roof. The lace effect is just icing on the cake.Roger Ward says that vintage airplane color schemes have influenced him. Yellow and black was a common combination on early aircraft and is a great-looking combo that emphasizes the lines of this '57 Ford.Metalflake is coming on strong, especially as an accent on roofs, scallops, and graphics. Javier Mejia's '60 Olds got the full treatment. It might be a little much for some, but nobody can ignore it!Lettering is making a big comeback, especially on deliveries and pickups. This '48 Chevy sedan delivery uses it wisely to break up a big flat panel. The '95 Lincoln Beige Pearl and Silver Cashmere metallic definitely lean toward today's more classy colors.This just-finished '32 pickup goes the opposite way. Various colors of paint were applied then sanded to achieve an old-timey look.Bare metal is starting to show up more and more--such as on this '30 A Tudor--and seems to work best on roots rods leaning toward a beater appearance, since any welds and body imperfections ordinarily hidden by paint are naked to the world.Pewter silver, like the paint on this Deuce roadster, has surpassed white as the most popular paint color, according to Pete Santini. We wonder if this new popularity has anything to do with the fact that it resembles the look of bare metal.The almost three-dimensional illusion of the American flag mural on this Deuce roadster is a miracle of technical skill and catches everybody's eye wherever it goes. The question is: Does the paint fight the clean lines of the '32 and distract from the millions of excellent details on this car, and (at the risk of sounding unpatriotic) is this a paint job you'd get tired of more quickly than something less flashy?
Black primer is literally dull, but doesn't have to look dull. The side trim on this '57 maintains an important characteristic of the car and helps break up large panels of flat black. The gold on the side trim inserts and wheels adds flash to the flatness of the primer, and the silver paint on top helps too.Simple rules. Two-stage black paint, broken up by some understated scallops, give a traditional but imaginative look to this '46 Ford convertible.The scallop theme pops up again with a simple design on the air cleaner. These Cadillac-style air cleaners are a very popular spot for some tasteful graphics.Mike Lavalee of Killerpaint in Snohomish, WA, used an airbrush to create realistic-looking flames on this '32 three-window. Owner Larry Schwilke told us he wanted flames but also wanted something different.It's not always about subtlety. Sometimes it's about in your face. Not only flames, but scallops, pinstripes, and colors from across the spectrum distinguish this nearly stock Chevy wagon, given the full-color treatment by K-Daddyz Kustoms.Shooting the flames on the fenders and running boards, but not the body, keeps this Zipper '32 body looking clean and calls attention to the widened '33-34 fenders. Owner/painter Dave Jordan used orange and Viper Red with a copper pearl overlay and added dimension to the inside curves of the licks, a style popularized by Art Himsl.Jeff Wasserman laid out the flames on his '34 three-window in a style evocative of early-'70s rods (think California Kid, etc.). When John Pugh shot the paint, he saved a little bit of red and orange for the spinner spokes.That little dab of color is a cool attention-to-detail that makes people take a closer look at the car.
This '41 Chevy coupe and '62 Chevy wagon display two variations of the same idea: flames on top of flames.In both cases, the combination of colors and the look of the flames in relation to the overall theme of the car is right on (imagine the '41 with orange and green tiki flames).

This is Bernardo's story:
Bernardo is a 48-year-old man that lives in the community of Tlaxcantitla, described above. He supports a family of 4 mainly by cultivating corn, and sometimes by selling firewood to the community. Bernardo's house has no access to electricity, so the family relies on other lighting sources such as candles and ocote, which are not very powerful or efficient.
For this family, education is very important, and a solar home system will allow Bernardo's kids to increase the time they can use for academic activities at night.
Additionally, Bernardo needs to be more productive to increase the family income, which now is about $25 USD on a productive week, and create a better life for himself and his family. A solar home system will allow him to achieve this goal.
Additional Information
About ERES Energía RenovablesERES Energía Renovable is a hybrid social enterprise that provides clean energy via solar-powered home systems in off-grid communities in Mexico. Kiva loans enable low-income households to purchase these systems. By lending to borrower groups that cross-guarantee each other, ERES Energía Renovable is able to reach far more borrowers who do not have the collateral or credit history to get a loan from a formal financial institution.
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
ERES Energía Renovable joined Kiva through our Experimental Partnership Program, and has therefore received a lighter level of due diligence. Accordingly, loans associated with this partner carry a higher level of risk than typical Kiva loans.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Athletics, basketball, billiards, bowling, boxing, chess, and swimming are some of the sports that gave the Philippines international fame. SPOT.ph lists 10 athletes who blazed trails and brought great pride to our country.
Inside the ring, the soft-spoken Manny Pacquiao turns into a lean mean fighting machine.
1. EMMANUEL "MANNY" PACQUIAO (Boxing)
Pacquiao, whom sports pundits dubbed "Pacman" for his speed, is the first boxer in the world to win seven world titles in different divisions (flyweight, super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight, and welterweight). His superstar status and triumphs inside the boxing ring finally spilled over to the political arena when he won as congressman of Sarangani province in the 15th Philippine Congress. Nevertheless, talks are still underway for his November 13 match with the flamboyant Floyd Mayweather Jr. A fighting congressman? Why not? Just don't make him sing that awful "Para Sa 'Yo ang Laban na 'To" or do a Wapakman sequel.
Fil-Am swimming sensation Daniel Coakley is Teofilo Yldefonso's great grandson.
2. TEOFILO YLDEFONSO (Swimming)
Yldefonso, a native of Ilocos Norte, won the 200-meter breaststroke bronze medals in the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam. He won another bronze at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1932. He was the first Filipino athlete to win multiple Olympic medals. He earned the nickname "Ilocano Shark" for incredible swimming skills. But he wasn't just a swimming hero. He also fought against the Japanese in World War II. He survived the Bataan Death March, he died in Tarlac's Capas Concentration Camp in 1943. Though it's hard to find photos of Yldefonso, his legacy lives on in his great grandson Daniel Coakley, who swam for the Philippine team in the Southeast Asian Games in 2007 and broke the record in the 50-meter freestyle by clocking 22.80 seconds. The boy's got some good genes.

When I was leaving for work, at the end of my road stood a thinnish, very confused looking GP. He was standing in the middle of a side road just sort of looking in all directions like he was lost, confused, and had no idea which way to head. If he is still around when I get home and has not found my farm and killed all of my chickens, I was thinking of trying to take him/her in and see if I could maybe talk him/her into guarding my chickens/pastures. Is this crazy thinking?

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Open source coding accounts for a significant portion of the United States' $180 billion software industry: 90% of companies rely on third-party code for at least a portion (and sometimes the entirety) of their software projects. Approximately a third of the total revenue spent on the industry, $60 billion yearly, goes towards remedying defective software; in effect, bug squashing.
SourceNinja shared an infographic with us that details the total cost — in time, money, and resources — of bugs in open source code. Among other facts, like the impact of software defects on happiness and the frequency of security tests, the infographic reveals where troublesome bugs hide and how much they cost to repair. Coders, take note: squash those bugs before release and everyone will be better off.

"Forza Atalanta" Bergamo Sports & Outdoors Tip by chrismj
Bergamo Sports & Outdoors: 4 reviews and 7 photos
You can usually find Atalanta at the bottom of Serie A or the top of Serie B. It's a good place to enjoy the irrational passion that is football, and it's as good a provincial Italian cultural experience as anything else.
The atmosphere is good, especially from the always-packed Curva Nord side of the ground.
Cheapest tickets are 6 euro. The obvious ticket windows aren't usually open any more. Go to the south side and they are probably selling tickets from an office through a window. You have to have ID for each ticket you buy. Curva Sud or Parterre would be my recommendation, Curva Nord if you are feeling brave. Tickets for children(and women!) are half price for all areas except the Curvas.
Address: Viale Giulio Cesare
Directions: The number 6 bus goes there from Porta Nuova. Stadium is near the hostel.

The good news for retailers.
There has never been a better time to be a specialty retailer. The Boston Globe recently published a study with some very good news for us. They polled consumers and found that more than 85% of people preferred to shop at their local stores.It's true – customers want to shop with you! You have a face, you can remember their names and what they like to buy, you can make them feel special.
The bad news for retailers.
The bad news is that your customers don't have to shop with you. Anyone with a credit card and a computer or a telephone can sit at home in their old bathrobe and bunny slippers and buy absolutely anything – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And, of course, there are the ever-present Wal-Marts and other "big box" superstores of the world giving you a run for your money!In short, there are outstanding opportunities for store owners today, but you Read More

A serving of this bread makes a great accompaniment to 3 oz. cooked turkey, chicken or pork, and your favorite hot steamed vegetable.
This flavorful bread can be baked ahead of time. Cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze up to 3 months.
This bread is equally delicious whether served warm or cooled to room temperature.

I made this bread as per recipe. I found it to be just ok. Not good enough to be a "keeper".
it takes longer than 10 minutes to prep - turned out ok; a little dry but I did have to make my own buttermilk (add vinegar to milk) which might have altered the recipe a little bit. It would probably be better as a biscuit and would bake faster too
I've made this twice. Once in 3 mini loaves and today in a regular 9x5 loaf pan. I added a bit more butter this time around and I use the pre-cut bacon pieces in the bag to shorten prep time. Rave reviews today and it was delicious with my homemade vegetable soup.

Skip to comments.Israelis kill 'They'll never catch me' militant
Posted on 02/24/2006 2:53:44 PM PST by IonImplantGuru
BALATA REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank Israeli troops on Thursday killed five Palestinians, including a top militant who said just a day earlier that he would never be caught, in Israel's largest military sweep since pulling out from the Gaza Strip last summer.
Three of the dead were gunmen from the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades a violent offshoot of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party killed during a shootout in their hide-out in the Balata refugee camp.
The deaths brought to eight the number of Palestinians killed by army fire since the Balata sweep began Monday. The military said 15 fugitives have been arrested.
Dozens of jeeps patrolled Balata, an Al Aqsa stronghold and a haven for weapons dealers, and sealed it off from the adjacent city of Nablus. Al Aqsa fugitives have been moving from hide-out to hide-out since the army raid began.
Al Aqsa confirmed three of its members, including senior member Mohammed Shtawi, a fugitive, had been killed. On Wednesday, Shtawi told an AP reporter that earlier in the day soldiers surrounded his hide-out for five hours, but he and several friends slipped away. "They will never catch me," he said at the time.
(Excerpt) Read more at azstarnet.com ...
Mohammed "Gingerbread" Shtawi
Martyr's Brigade ? Guess they got their wish...
Mohammed Shtawi was right, we never did catch him. We just killed him.
Be careful what you wish for.
Winner of the "I'll Never Rest Til I Find Nichole's Killer" Award for truth in advertising.
Reach out ,.... reach out and touch someone... reach out and just say ........BANG.
How many examples do we have now of reporters somehow having access to terrorists?
There's a lesson for the Iranians here.
No report on the ap reporter. I sure hope they got him too!
A successful hunting trip.
Woo Hoo!
Shazam! I wuz wrong!
They can catch me! Sh#t!
Well, he was right. Sort of.
He wasn't exactly "caught"...
Proof that there is indeed a God, and that he has a sense of humor.
Word should be leaked that it was the reporter who tipped off the Israelis as to his location so that the attack could occur. Let's turn the jihadists against their allies in the media.
Those gps tracking chips they now implant in AP reporters seem to be working well.
How many examples do we have now of reporters somehow having access to terrorists?
You mean access to the man who is now dead?
I keep thinking of that old Guy Clark song - "If I could just get off of this LA Freeway without gettin' killed or caught..."
If he wasn't a hol(e)yman... he is now. ;)
I can't tell you how much I like that.
Top of the world, ma!"
But you can't hide from God.
I love the IDF early-retirement plan for terrorists.
It works for me.
Well, I guess they didn't literally catch him. I kind of equate "catch" with being arrested and put in jail rather than getting killed.
"Oh so very satisfying.."
With all due respect, the Almighty had nothing to do with this -- it was military security all the way.
"Does anyone actually believe the Palestinians will ever actually agree to a meaningful peace with the Israelies?"
I'm sure most people don't and the few who sincerely do are idiots. On the other hand, it is the position of most of the world, not because it's truly believed, but because it relentlessly puts pressure on Israel to always make new concessions in pursuit of "peace".
Israel has pretty much decided what the border will be by staking out the path of the "fence" (which is partially built at this time). Bush agreed with the idea that Israel would never give back all of the conquered territories---so that is about as much international approval as Israel can expect to ever get. (Just eyeballing a map of the situation, a map that never appears in newspapers that imply that Israelis want to take over about two-thirds of the West Bank vis-à-vis the fence, I would say the Israelis are going to snatch about 1/7 or so of the West Bank, utilizing the fence.)
One of the problems Israel is, in effect, working out right now in Gaza is, what do you do about the missiles? That problem will presumably be a lot worse when the final partition counts.
Another problem is that there are tens of thousands of Israeli settlers currently living on the wrong side of the fence. Moving all of them looks to be politically impossible for the time being. A few are currently being removed from illegal settlements---that is to say settlements that were never approved by the Israeli government in the first place. This relatively minor procedure is being met with violence on the part of the settlers and is already having an effect of partially carrying Israeli society apart.
The problem of pursuing this rational solution is made worse by fundamentalist Jews, now being joined by fundamentalist Christians, who claim, in effect, that the West Bank in it's entireity was given to the Jews by God. That means that removing any of the settlers is a sin and will result in the destruction of Israel or something like that.
Or, to put it another way, adding to the threat to Israel's existence caused by religious craziness on the Muslim side, we now have religious craziness on the Jewish and Christian side.
The Izzies have a great network of paid Paleostinian informers plus I think they are monitoring phones and cell phones. Their West Bank border fence is a very good one and twice in last month they've offed (with missiles no less!) Muslims that got close to it
There is a lot more biblical locations and shrines on the West Bank than in Gaza.
A wise policy we would do well to adopt.
Obviously, he was wrong.
If memory serves me, Osama Bin Laden recently made the same claim...
Add one to the "famous last words" canonical list.
I am so tired of these reporters interviewing, and thus, protecting terrorists.
Time Magazine (or Newsweak) just had a story about a roadside bomber from Iraq. I thought, "Why don't you tell our military where this guy is? So we can kill him?"
But obviously the press is more interested in getting a story on the next roadside bombing than preventing it.
I think that Osama could probably get an in-person interview with Katie Couric. And she would not help the US get him.
Calling this
pig sty town a "refugee camp" is an insult to real refugees in real camps, escaping Muslim violence every where in the world, such as this one in Sudan.
It is bad enough the presstitutes insist on the appelative "Palestinian"; but to allow them to continue calling towns and cities "refugee camps" is a travesty.
BTW, Good shooting, IDF; way to go!
Katie would do a wet spot on the carpet for an Osama interview.
Exactly. Israel 1 Dead raghead braggard 0.
Cry havoc, release the hounds of war.
Being a lover of Celtic music, I must compliment you on your tagline.
Thanks so much. I guess you know "Sgt. MacKenzie".
FReeper "pipecorp" knew what my tagline was too. He also commented on it tonight. He plays the pipes and plays Sgt. MacKenzie at funerals.
What a moving lament! Says everything there is to say about a soldier in a few verses.
The lonely sound of a single bugle playing taps I revere, the bagpipes and the slow funeral procession evoke similar emotions.
Your reference to Sgt. MacKenzie is spot on and I tip me tankard and wish you and yours a peaceful slumber.
Lament for all the dead soldiers.

Pete Carroll was honest, raw, introspective, real during his introductory news conference as head coach of the Seahawks.
RENTON — He was, well, human.
If you expected the Seahawks' charismatic new A-list coach to greet you with hyperbole and bravado, to offer more glitz than insight, then Pete Carroll just called his first audible in Seattle.
The man who created excitement everywhere he went at USC, who inspired a Tacoma sports radio personality to gush that he's the "coolest coach in the NFL," appeared nervous as he was introduced. He rambled. He stammered. He turned defensive at times. It wasn't the expected salesman's pitch of a hello.
It was better.

Carroll was honest, raw, introspective, real. During the 40 minutes he spoke, his genuine enthusiasm and self-deprecating candor became so captivating that it obstructed skepticism about his so-so NFL record. Of course, as soon as he was done talking, the skepticism resumed, but, hey, trust isn't built in a day.
But Carroll established plenty with his first impression. Most significant: The Seahawks matter again.
The buzz is back, baby. Carroll gives the franchise a face it's been missing since Mike Holmgren left a year ago. He gives them a voice that the entire sports world wants to hear. He makes them relevant because there's a national curiosity about whether he can turn his impressive college success into NFL glory.
On Tuesday, television trucks overwhelmed the parking lot at Seahawks headquarters. Inside, the auditorium was equally stuffed. As Carroll spoke, the clicking sound of all the cameras made it seem like you were being attacked by celebrity.
Only a Derek Jeter/Minka Kelly wedding announcement could've caused such a ruckus.
"I am so fired up to be here today," Carroll began.
And then he didn't stop talking for the next 11 minutes, 42 seconds. He might have taken a single breath during that monologue. Might have.
He said "extraordinary" so many times that you figured his old defensive coordinator, Nick "Awesome" Holt (now with Washington), tutored him on incorporating a word of the day into his intro. He called the Seahawks' situation "dreamlike," which tells you he has yet to see film of this offensive line. Then, after all the niceties, he saved his most sincere and revealing remarks for an interesting public self-examination.
Carroll answered what everyone wants to know: Why, after being fired from two previous NFL jobs, can he be successful on the third try?
His explanation (or maybe we should consider it an opening argument): He has grown.
Allow him to expound.
"I know so much more clearly where I'm coming from than I did then," said Carroll, who, before coming a super coach at USC, compiled a 33-31 NFL record during stints with the New York Jets and New England Patriots. "I was not at my best in New York; I can't tell you how far away I was then from where I am right now. I was not at my best in New England. I think the Seahawks have benefited from the facts of what I've been through and what I've gone through. I don't have any problems going to the league and going to these players and helping them be the best they can possibly be.
"So I'm not the same. Hopefully, I'm better."
In Carroll's mind, he was a young coach with the Jets and Patriots, an uncertain coach who was still trying to figure out himself. Now, 10 years later, carrying a 97-19 record and two national titles with him from USC, he knows what he believes and knows his philosophies can work. Winning bred that confidence. It wasn't NFL winning, but it was winning nonetheless.
Today, as a humbled 58-year-old coach who found success, he's prepared to step into an NFL meeting room and impose his will. If you believe people evolve with experience, you know that it's possible, despite all the cynicism, he can succeed.
"What transformed me was I had an epiphany of what was most important to me as a football coach," Carroll said, describing how he went from being fired in New England to revolutionary at USC. "In that process of putting those thoughts together, it kind of just solidified a mentality and an approach that now has been put in practice for 10 years. I feel like I'm bringing a very, very clear message to our football team when we get in our meeting room. When we start this thing off, they're going to know where I'm coming from, because I know where I'm coming from."
On his first day as a Seahawk, Carroll wasn't smooth. He wasn't the coolest coach in the NFL. He wasn't a supernatural force sent here to deliver instant hype. He was, well, human. He impressed with his sincerity, not his swagger.
Didn't expect Carroll to peel back so many layers so soon. The revelations were, to borrow his favorite word, extraordinary.

CIVIC ends the isolation and abuse of people in U.S. immigration detention through visitation, independent monitoring, storytelling, and advocacy.
"Christina Mansfield and Christina Fialho were selected as 2012 Echoing Green Fellows from a pool of 3,509 applications, the largest applicant pool to date. What makes CIVIC's immigration detention reform strategy so creative is that it combines a social entrepreneurial approach with community organizing to work toward social justice for immigrants who are detained. We need advocates like Ms. Fialho and Ms. Mansfield to go beyond speaking of change and take action. They, along with the hundreds of volunteers they have engaged in the visitation movement, have done just that."

2001 Mercury Sable ProblemsProblem With Idle Air Bypass Valve May Cause Engine Performance Problems
If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve. This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.
Chafing of the jounce bumper against the strut rod and / or rubbing of the dust boot against the strut mount cup can cause popping, squeaking, and noisy sounds from front wheel areas while driving. Lubricate the jounce bumper (bump stop), strut rod, and boot with dielectric grease fix this concern.
The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.

2001 Mercury Sable RecallsFord Recalls 1999-2001 Taurus and Mercury Sable Vehicles for Possible Coil Spring Fracture
Ford has recalled certain 1999-2001 Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles sold in cold weather states to inspect the coil springs. When corroded, coil springs may fracture, causing damage to tires and a possible loss of vehicle control. Dealers will install a special shield to alleviate the problem. Additional warranty coverage is also extended on the coil springs for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Ford has recalled certain 2000-2004 Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles for possible malfunctioning of the brake light switch, which may cause brake lights to stick on, or not come on at all. Also, the driver may not be able to shift out of "Park" and the battery could discharge. Dealers will replace the brake light switch and the wiring connector mounted to it.
Ford has recalled certain 2000-2003 Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles for an issue with the adjustable accelerator and brake pedal assembly. The pedals are too close to each other, causing unintended pedal selection errors and possibly an accident. Dealers will check for appropriate spacing between pedals, and if it is found to be insufficient, they will adjust it to the correct specification.

text: It takes a very long time for my cycling shorts to dry on the line. I also noticed that the clothespins were tearing up the waist fabric a little. I've heard the dryer can be a little too harsh on them, so I want some opinions on what you guys do. It seems like 45 minutes in the dryer isn't even near as bad as 8 hours of soaking up UV rays on the clothes line.

SPECIAL REPORT, PART III: Growth of club sports caused decline in three-sport prep athletes
High school kids have been known to tune their parents out. In at least one case, however, Austin Early heard his father loud and clear.
In his early years at Orange Glen High, Early listened to the laments of his dad, Joe, a star football player at the same school in the 1970s who squandered his chance to graduate as a three-sport athlete, having given up basketball and lost his final baseball season to a severe bout of senioritis.
"I regret it to this day, and as a parent you don't want to see your kids make the same mistakes you did," said Joe Early, now the football coach at Palomar College. "I told Austin, 'Don't have any regrets when you leave high school because you're not going to get that time back.' "
So rather than emulate his father, Austin followed the path of his older brother, Andy, a junior at Cal Poly who did football, basketball and swimming at Orange Glen. Now a junior at Orange Glen, Austin was the quarterback of the football team last fall, the point guard on the basketball team in the winter, and he's currently a versatile infielder on the baseball team.
"It's kind of difficult, but I don't regret doing it because it keeps me going," Austin Early said. "If I just played one sport, I think I'd get bored. This keeps me on the move. I like to have a schedule set."
Early is a prime example of the classic American notion of the three-sport athlete, a standard that has virtually defined all-around physical excellence at the high school level for generations. If you're a gifted athlete, you play a sport in the fall, another in the winter and a third in the summer. That's just how it is in this country.
That's how it used to be, at least. Numbers show, and experts confirm, that the three-sport athlete is a dying species, its population rapidly thinning because of a strong trend toward specialization driven by club sports.
"We have so many kids who enter high school saying they're a volleyball player or a baseball player or a soccer player, and they don't try anything else," San Pasqual athletic director Andrew Clark said. "Part of that is because they've been playing with a club team that plays nine months a year, and they don't ever find out if they're good at something else because they've never given it a shot.
"For some parents, it's prestigious to say their kid plays for an elite club. I get it. The competition is great; the coaching is supposed to be very good. You're playing all the time so your skills should get better. But, yeah, it's going to take away more and more from high school sports."
The North County Times reached out to every North County high school in an effort to compile a comprehensive count of the number of three-sport varsity athletes for the 2011-12 school year. Twenty-three schools responded, listing a total of 124 such athletes, for an average of about five per school.
The school with the most is Valley Center with 17, not surprising given that its enrollment of 1,256 students is the second smallest in the North County Conference ahead of only Mission Vista, a second-year magnet school in Oceanside.
"For us to be competitive, we have to have three-sport athletes," Valley Center AD Mike Cummings said. "It is difficult to compete against schools twice your size if athletes don't do more than one sport."
Among larger schools, though, it's rare now to see more than a handful of three-sport varsity athletes. Del Norte, El Camino, La Costa Canyon, Mt. Carmel, Orange Glen, Rancho Buena Vista, San Marcos, Torrey Pines and Westview all have three or fewer, with El Camino bringing up the rear at zero. Wildcats AD Sean Helgesen estimated that the school's average was more than 20 a decade ago.

Pick up the Rome Women's Lo-Fi Rocker Snowboard if you're the type of rider who doesn't discriminate between sending big jumps in the park and slashing fresh powder in the trees. This super-poppy deck is a true twin, allowing you to land and ride switch without compromise in the park. However, just because the Lo-Fi Rocker excels at jumps and jibs doesn't mean it can't slay the entire mountain. Its FreePop Rocker profile adds serious float, should you find yourself dicing up freshly frosted glades and untracked bowls at your local resort.
This flat-rocker hybrid places flat camber underfoot for a stable, predictable feel when you're straight-lining kickers and hauling at serious speeds down the mountain. Just after the binding inserts, the board slightly rockers up at its tip and tail, allowing you to float through fresh snow, as well as jib without hanging up.
Inside this all-mountain specialist, you'll find a snappy Pop Core Matrix which blends long poplar wood with three zones of low-density wood. Its StraightBiax Laminate preserves the board's playful nature, allowing you to lay into butters and presses without too much torsional stiffness. Helping you boost over slow signs (don't get caught!) and launch kickers without hitting the knuckle, the Glass Single Barrel HotRod is laid into the nose and tail, allowing you to pre-load ollies and nollies with spring-like response. Additionally, the Lo-Fi Rocker has a SinterTrue base that absorbs a ton of wax for riding fast all over the mountain.

Top Ten with a Twist: Potential comeback players of the year
The season begins Thursday, so it's only appropriate at this juncture to talk about what I think will happen by the end of the year. Namely those who overcame some kind of tremendous obstacle to play better than we had any right to expect.
That's right: we're exploring the possibilities of who can win the comeback player of the year award. One of the players listed below WILL win the award. Unless somebody else does. Either way, somebody will do something amazing that we didn't expect. Which is why sports are great. And why lists like this are necessary.
10. Danny Amendola, Patriots receiver: Before Amendola has a chance to win this award, he has to prove he can stay healthy for an entire season. He didn't last year, missing five games, and he didn't the year before when he suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1. But if Amendola can string together a 16-game resume, he'll have a chance to record the kind of season we normally see out of Wes Welker. Considering where Amendola has been before he entered the sphere of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, that would be an incredible leap.
9. Mason Crosby, Packers kicker: Listen, there's no doubt Crosby was subpar last season for Green Bay, converting on only 63.6 percent of his field goal attempts. In fact, it's mind-boggling that coach Mike McCarthy didn't cut him last year and it's somewhat brow-furrowing that Crosby has made the 2013 squad. But if Crosby can return to his previous consistency -- and who knows, kickers go through weird spurts all the time -- why not give the honor to a special teamer who saves and resurrects his career?
8. Tim Tebow, free agent quarterback: I kid, I kid. Besides, how many more Tebow jokes can I possibly make this season in Top 10 with a Twist? Probably not very. You've got to take the opportunity when it comes. Tebow would agree with that, at least.
7. Johnny Jolly, Packers defensive tackle: Props to @zgoldberg for this entry. The last time Jolly played in the NFL was in 2009. Since then, he's been indefinitely suspended for drugs and spent time in prison for illegal codeine use. But he made it out of prison early (he had been sentenced to six years), and he got the chance to make the 2013 Packers squad. And he did so. Even if he's not a superstar for Green Bay this year and even if he has no chance of winning this award, the fact we're even talking about him in positive terms should be cause for celebration.
6. Terrell Suggs, Ravens linebacker: The fact Suggs, after tearing his Achilles in May of 2012, returned to the team in October was fairly amazing (maybe it wasn't quite as impressive as Adrian Peterson, because Suggs only suffered a "partial" tear, but come on: Suggs was ridiculous). This year, Suggs should be fully healthy, and we fully expect him to return with the same kind of vigor that won him the 2011 defensive player of the year award.
5. Jason Pierre-Paul, Giants defensive end: After exploding for 16.5 sacks in 2011, Pierre-Paul dropped to 6.5 last year. In the offseason, Pierre-Paul underwent back surgery, and he admitted that his back bothered him throughout 2012. If that's the case and if Pierre-Paul finally is healthy, he'll be scary once again for the Giants.
4. Darrelle Revis/Brent Grimes, cornerbacks who play in the state of Florida: Revis, a huge offseason acquisition for the Buccaneers, and Grimes -- now with the Dolphins -- are coming off 2012 irrelevancy. Grimes missed all season with a torn Achilles, but he'd shown the past couple years in Atlanta that he was possibly on the verge of becoming one of the best young cornerbacks in the league. Revis already is the best cornerback in the NFL, but he played only two games last season before tearing his ACL. Both could be great this year, and you know, it wouldn't shock me if Grimes was just as good as Revis. But he'd still have a tough time ever beating out Revis for this award.
3. Rob Gronkowski, Patriots tight end: I'm kind of beginning to think we're nearing the beginning of the end of Gronkowski as an all-world tight end. He's injured too much, dating back to college, and he's taken too long to heal. The forearm issue he's battled all offseason has to be a warning sign. That being said, Gronkowski will probably prove again that he's still one of the best tight ends in the league and could very well win this award. But if we're talking five years from now, I'm not sure Gronkowski will be relevant in the NFL.
2. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars running back: When I opened up nominees for this award on Twitter, MJD had the most votes. Yes, the man who thought about retiring during training camp because he was in so much pain could very well be the man to whom we're handing that comeback trophy. Two years ago, Jones-Drew rushed for 1,606 yards on a bad Jaguars squad. Last year, though, a foot injury kept him from playing after Week 7. Now, though, Jones-Drew seems healthy, and considering the Jaguars will play either Blaine Gabbert or Chad Henne at quarterback, Jones-Drew should have plenty of opportunities to show why he's not ready to leave football quite yet.
1. Robert Griffin III, Redskins quarterback: You remember this photo, right? And this one? Yeah, that's Robert Griffin III (and, indirectly, Mike Shanahan) destroying his knee in the team's playoff loss to the Seahawks. Eight months later, Griffin, after not taking a snap in a preseason game, is set to start for Washington in Week 1. And he'll probably be awesome. And because Adrian Peterson won this award last year for being incredibly awesome after tearing up his knee at the end of 2011, I can see RG3 following up Peterson with an incredible performance of his own.
