Find race-inspired, all-mountain performance and all day comfort when you stick your foot inside the Tecnica Dragon 120 HiPerFit Ski Boot. With World Cup-level stiffness and a slightly more upright forward lean than race models, the Dragon last features a 100mm-wide forefoot so your foot doesn't cramp up during your second blisteringly fast run through a wind-buffed bowl.
- Thermo-moldable HiPerFit liner features an adjustable, removable rear spoiler and retains heat for anchoring your heel, keeping your foot warm, and providing excellent energy transfer
- Anti-Vibration System sole absorbs the shock of random death cookies and moguls while you carve a straighter and straighter line down the mountain
- Flex Adjustment allows fine-tuning by removing one or both rivets on the rear spine to soften the boot's overall flex
- Dual Cuff Alignment screws tighten on the inner and outer ankle to fit your individual foot size for maximum comfort and power
- Carbon steel buckles provide strength and glove-friendly tweaking while trimming down weight
- The 45mm UltraFlex Powerstrap flexes and absorbs shock while also adjusting to your desired height

Almost a race boot
Nice boots, nice bladder ,nice color and lots of bells and whistles.You can change the amount of forward and lean and I did. I do wish it was a little taller in the back 1/2 ".My older boots are the Tecnica race boots 98mm wide. I really like the 100mm width much better. I also had a better than average custom foot bed put in and I am glad I did. I ski 50+ days a year and because I am an instructor I am in my boots all day. The 120 can be hard to find and I only found one store in Washington State that had them. Good Skiing
Tecnica Dragon HyPrefit 120
With 500 days in my last boots I knew I needed to pick a wining boot for this season and beyond. I did. This is a great boot! Just the right amount of everything, flex, stiffness, cant, warmth and eye candy! If you leave it on the shelf for a couple of months you can prpbably buy it for around $500.00 Now you're getting your moneys worth! www.skiingfool.com

How to Cut out Stencils for Painting
Are you a painter? Do you want to make perfect shapes?
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Take a piece of cardstock or thin piece of cardboard. (Paper can be used, but it isn't very durable)
2Draw on a design that suits your taste. There's no reason to design the inside, as this will be removed later.
3Use an x-acto knife to cut out your design. If you do not have an x-acto knife, scissors can be used by folding the cardstock/cardboard/paper in half gently and making a small slit on the line of the shape. Then you can cut out your design with ease!
4Lay the stencil over the painting paper and paint inside the shape.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Starting with simple shapes and lines are nice to start with

Looks like some KU fans hate their new typeface.
I actually like it - as much as a Cyclone fan can like anything that has to do with the Jayhawks. What I get tired of seeing is 95% of teams using the standard "block face" font for everything. Show something different for once like what Kansas, and what we're going to be doing next year.
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
I just don't get the "KU" if they are the University of Kansas?
It's like Iowa saying they are UofI, when in reality they are SUI.
Or like when Nebraska says they are NU when they're really just morons

I love the KU typeface. You knew right when you saw that font who it was for. Big mistake by a bunch of ivory tower nimrods.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
As much as they whine and moan, they haven't used that typeface for football in years. It's been the standard blockface. And I'm thinking that it was more of a university mandate to go with the Trajan font identity than it was the athletic department (as everything official for KU, from the website to university docs, etc.), is done in the Trajan typeface. This guy doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Fry's Electronics kicked off a two day sale on Wednesday, Dec. 5 that knocks $50 off the regular price of the 4GB Xbox 360 plus $10 off Far Cry 3 on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
The 4GB Xbox 360 is one sale for $149.99 at Fry's but you won't see the price advertised on the store website. Instead, you'll have to add it to your cart to see the discount. Shipping adds approximately $10 to the cost but you can save by choosing store pickup if you happen to live near a Fry's. Tax is applicable for states that have a physical store location.
Far Cry 3, which was just released to the PS3 and Xbox 360 yesterday, is also on sale at $49.99. This is $10 off the regular price. Shipping starts at $2.99 but in-store pickup is an option for the game as well. Again, tax may be applicable.
Both of these gaming deals are good through Thursday, Dec. 6.

Green tomatoes can seem like a nuisance, either at the beginning of the growing season when you can't wait for red ripe tomatoes, or at the end of the season when you've got to get them all in before a frost.
But green tomatoes are great for fermenting. The sugars haven't fully developed yet in these little green gems, making them perfect for a tangy, flavorful lacto-fermented pickle.

Tax Questions
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Questions
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Questions
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the largest
enforcement agency in the United States with a workforce of more than 45,600 sworn federal agents and officers. They are charged with regulating and facilitating international trade, collecting
import duties
, and enforcing U.S. regulations, including trade, customs and immigration. U.S. Customs and Border Protection can have many legal implications if the laws are broken. Below are some of the most commonly asked questions about U.S. Customs and Border Protection answered by the Experts.
If a United States citizen leaves the U.S. under bankruptcy, having never made over the tax deductible limit, and never filing taxes, what would they need to do to move back to the U.S.?
In most cases if a person is a U.S. citizen there is nothing preventing their return, because there is no check of
Internal Revenue Service
records as a predicate to admission to the U.S. However once they are in the U.S. the IRS can impose a forced
against their unfilled
tax returns
, then they would either pay all of the taxes, penalties and interest, or make an "offer in compromise" to the IRS to reduce their tax liability. Any assets in the other country would probably be wise to leave there and access that money for support while they resolve their tax issues, because if they deposit it into a U.S. bank account the IRS can reach the money.
If a person wired $30,000 from a bank in Mexico to a bank in the United States, would the US bank be required to disclose this to the Internal Revenue Service?
Typically if the person affiliated with the U.S. receives negotiable monetary instruments valued at $10,000 or more they are required to report it to Customs and Border Protection (CPB) within 15 days upon receipt of the monetary instrument to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) using form 105. If the person does not report this
through normal banking procedures the bank will report this information to the IRS.
If a person is entering the United States and declares more than $10,000 how much will customs take from it?
In most cases they may legally carry or mail any amount of money they want into or out of the U.S., but if it is more than $10,000 at one time they should first report it to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Failure to report the international transportation of money is a violation of the Currency and Foreign Transaction Reporting Act. The proper form to file with U.S. Customs is the FinCen 105.
If a person sold property abroad for $100,000 and wanted to take the money into the United States what steps should be taken in order to legally bring it into the country?
As a general rule the best way to transfer money is to open an account with a foreign bank and to transfer it to a U.S. bank. If this amount exceeds $100,000 in one year, they must then report that money by filing Form 3520 with the Internal Revenue Service. No tax will be due with the form, but it is a filing requirement that simply informs the IRS of their transfer and that they have money in a bank in the U.S.
Is there any way a national charity dedicated to helping victims and their families can become exempt from customs and import taxes?
Typically if their nonprofit organization is permanently importing goods for religious, educational or scientific purposes there is a possibility that their goods may be exempt from duty. Reference the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), Section XXII, heading 9810 to see if their importation meets the specifications for one of the provisions.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency's primary mission is preventing terrorists and their weapons from entering the U.S., it is also responsible for apprehending individuals attempting to enter the U.S. illegally, stemming the flow of illegal drugs, protecting agricultural and economic interests from harmful pests and diseases, and protecting American businesses from intellectual property theft. The above questions were just a few dealing with the many responsibilities of the CBP answered by the Experts.

Is anybody here able to ride without a chamois and just undies with your shorts/tights/pants? Not little jaunts to the store or anything, I mean real rides, with some distance.
Ammm... since I started using them, no.
I think the UN is winding up a nice blast for you....
A nice blast? You mean like a Kona Blast?
I was just wondering because my friend will ride with undies only underneath. She has no problem. Just wanted to see if anyone else is okay without padding.
We are going to try and ride tomorrow if it doesn't rain and we plan to ride all day.
I know a lady that rode with only tights and no padding! Don't know how she did it, but she didi! 60 milers!
She only weighed about 105 lbs, though,.....but still!
The majority of cyclists don't wear special outfits. Sure, most of them don't go on 20 or 50 mile training rides, but probably plenty of people commute on beaters 10 or 15 miles each way every day in ordinary underwear. I only have a five mile (each way) commute and I never wear bike shorts for that, and if I happen to do errands after work and end up riding 10-15 miles I never have a problem. I do wear bike shorts for longer recreational weekend rides.Originally Posted by Siu Blue Wind
I did 60 milers in jeans easily enough. I had boxer shorts underneath though. I weigh about 140-150lbs though...
I've done a full off-road imperial century, and two off-road metrics, wearing ordinary nylon hiking/water shorts with integral (built-in) briefs (I am roughly NFL sized). Chamois Butt'r, baby!

The main problem I've had when doing long rides without fancy shorts is chafing. Haven't tried chamois butt'r yet. I'd really like to find some athletic tight undies without seams or chamois that wouldn't bunch up. The chamois is pretty much overkill when you have a Brooks saddle.
Underwear? Long rides no, so I don't get knot in my panties.
Any heavy doubled seam is a nogo againt the perineum (do guys have a different word for this part?).
Light cloth, several layers.
I've done centuries in cargo shorts and silk boxers...
"The 'taint"Originally Posted by jeff williams
San Francisco, California
normal human clothes always, regardless of the distance.
no problems at all with this.
mi yu mi yu
I ride monthly weekend trips to Richmond and back from Norfolk, VA (110 miles each way) with basic cotton shorts and Hanes Whitie tighties (boxers don't keep my stuff where it needs to be) and have nevver had any chafing, saddle sore or the like with my Brooks saddle (on cold days, I wear long john's under the shorts, still doesn't look as goofy as tights would on me - and VERY comfortable). I've never used bicycle shorts, mind you, so I can't compare, but since I have no problems at all, then I see no reason, maybe if I'm riding 200+ mil;e trips I might have a differnet opninon, but not yet.
Lycra shorts and coolmax underwear! No padded shorts, and often no gloves. But then I'm riding a recumbent.
This thread is a sign of the pending apocalypse.
OK. Listen up all you newbs and panty-wearers. For the purposes of riding any kind of distance, there is simply no more comfortable, practical way to dress than in padded, lycra bicycle shorts. And when you wear padded, lycra bicycle shorts, you must not, under any circumstances, for any reason, wear underwear under them. The chamois goes next to your ass with nothing in between. Got it?
Underwear belongs in the budoir, not on the bike.

There's no more eloquent way to say this... but you have female parts, and I have male parts.
Doing 100+ miles w/o padding would leave my sack raw and quite possibly in great pain.
People who ride w/o padding are generally women. *RUNS FOR COVER*
Men who ride w/o padding are generally less delicate than slvoid. I'm not running for cover, either.Originally Posted by slvoid

Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling. ~James E. Starrs
There is also some thing called moral consciousness. It does not disappear because you said it does'nt exist. Aaaaand it's pretty stupid to stuff your opinions down other ppl's throats. I dont wear lycra because of immorallity issues (I don't give a **** how comfortable it is). My main point is that in my case morality wins over comfort, and I don't try to stuff this particular point down other ppl's throats.Originally Posted by Underwear Nazi
Heck I was just answering a question and then people say the original question was a stupid idea. Sheesh kabobs...
There's a moral issue with lycra? What? Its made from the sap of 1000 year old-growth pines? Forged by enslaved elves beneath the mountains of Mordor? The official underwear of the Illuminati? What? What?Originally Posted by aadhils
Wearing lycra doesn't make you promiscuous,nor does it make you a bad parent. Lycra shorts aren't a morality issue, but depending on your shape they might be a modesty issue.
I meant modesty issue. So sue me for typos...Originally Posted by MarkS
I have never worn any lycra or padded shorts for that matter. Last summer I did a metric century, in 90deg F weather, cotton boxers, and cotton cargo shorts. I'm convinced this is the way to go. I had no chafing/discomofot/soreness of any kind.
Get a good, well fitting, and comfortable saddle, and don't let chamois shorts substitute for a well adjusted and fitting saddle.
I also don't wear gloves. Unless it's the winter.
I've ridden centuries with just plain old running shorts. Don't cry to me because your sack is delicate, and don't call me Shirley!Originally Posted by slvoid
Edit: of course having a nice broken in Brooks saddle helps!
"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
Anything under 20 miles roundtrip and I am fine in regular shorts.
I do not ride in jeans. Can't hardly get on the bike.
Anything over 20 miles involves tights and cycling shorts.
To make life simpler for myself, I wear cycling shorts for anything over 6 miles. I dislike discovering that I should have worn cycling shorts when my back fritzes out.

yes, they are indeed easy to pull out, but it is the places in which it manages to get tht can make it difficult!! I spent a good deal of yesterday removing them before they all seeded, and some I just cannot reach, inside shrubs, behind taller plants with delicate stems and so on - there will never be an end to them once they have arrived - which is fine, but you can have too much of a good thing!
Interesting, I've had brunnera for several years and they have politely stayed where I put them. Agree with myosotis (forgetmenot) they seed everywhere no matter what the labels says. There are several bunneras, Jack Frost has the whitest foliage as ou might imagine, and there is one called something like 'looking glass' or similar - again, very white splotched leaves and those lovely clear blue little flowrs.
One of the most gorgeous alpines or edgers I think, tough old bird too, comes back after whatever the weather throws at it - chop it back and away it goes - lovely thing. Varous shades of reds, yellows and pinks. The one shown is one of the best I feel.
It's a brand of small tools set with a motor and a large number of different tools you can attatch to it. Small, so you can easily hold it, but not suitable for very big works - good for the aluminium as suggested I shoudl imagine.
What's an extra 't' between gardeners - a large one please, no sugar!! I'd be a bit concerned that roofing felt may have tar based stuff in it? Not sure how good that would be for the plants? As I find slugs on our felted shed roof I'm not convinced about the deterrence to slugs anyway. Copper works, but the collars are expensive - but the do last almost for ever. I use copper tape on my 60+ hosta pots and thus saved the collection as they were just getting laced every year till I tried that. Sometimes plumbers have odd little bit of copper piping they can't use if you know a friendly plumber - and there are copper impregnated cabbage mats whih would be OK for strawberries, but not cheap either I don't think. The iron based and thus fine for wildlife pellets work, and I'mgrowing some in a raised bed this eyar with copper tape arund it - we will see.
There is a hozelock web site which sells all sorts of odd and older size threaded hosewashers for taps, got some for our old outdoor tap last year. Not expensive and quick service.
I have found that several of our roses have done this, I suspect an unseen frost one night recently. it happened last year to one quite big rose, I cut off the droopy bits and it was OK - though like everything else last year it was not as good as it has been. This year must be better huh? Anyway, leave the droopy bits for a bit, if they dry up then trim them off, but they might sit up and take notice as the sun is now shning and it is warmer.
have you had the opportunity to try brunnra? It has almost the same gorgeous little clear blue flowers, stunnning foliage in greens and white - depending which ones you buy, and isn't a spreader? Worth a try, I am gradually getting a few in and am delighted with them so far, over the last 3-4 years. Recommeneded to those who love fogetmenots except for the hassle now.
In fact it will seed everywhere. i am about to go out and remove all the foregetmenots I can see - knowing well that there will still be plenty for next spring. If I leave them all to seed we'llprobably have to move!
Our wide gravel edge to the path is now a glorious addition the flower beds, with astantia, hellebores, anemones, ble scilla etc., and all for nothing.

The Seahawks have signed Darren Fells, a 6-foot-7, 280-pound basketball player who hasn't played football since high school.
Darren Fells has the size to play tight end at 6 feet 7, 280 pounds.
He has the athleticism, too, after playing basketball, first in college at UC-Irvine and then professionally overseas for the past few years.
What Seattle's newest tight end doesn't have is experience. He hasn't played football since he was in high school in Southern California. But Seattle saw enough during a tryout this week to sign him to a contract.
Fells, 26, is a long-term project, someone the Seahawks are taking a no-risk chance on. Fells' older brother, Daniel, has played in the NFL going back to 2006 and was with the New England Patriots last season.

Seattle has tried the past two years to assemble a formidable tight-end tandem. In 2011, it was going to be Zach Miller and John Carlson, only to have Carlson suffer a season-ending shoulder injury. Last year, it was going to be Miller and Kellen Winslow, only Winslow declined to take the pay cut that had been previously discussed and was released a week before the regular season.
It's probably too ambitious to think Fells can fill that role as he plays football for the first time in more than eight years, but his athleticism is intriguing enough for Seattle to give him a chance.

AP source: Ex-cop exchanges fire with authorities
LOS ANGELES A person believed to be the fugitive ex-Los Angeles cop sought in three killings exchanged gunfire with authorities in the San Bernardino Mountains on Tuesday, a law enforcement official said on condition of anonymity.
The officer requested anonymity because the officer was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.
It's believed Christopher Dorner committed a residential burglary of a cabin where a couple was tied up, the officer told The Associated Press.
One of the people was able to get away and make a call.
Authorities responded to the location and gave chase when the burglar fled in a stolen car. Gunfire was exchanged.
The area is in the Big Bear region where a search for Dorner has been under way since his pickup truck was found there Thursday.
A KCAL-TV reporter in the Angelus Oaks area along Highway 38 reported gunfire in his vicinity.
The noise of the gunbattle was broadcast by the station, whose reporter suddenly found himself near the fight. Someone could be heard yelling at the reporter to get out of the area.
Road blocks are up around Big Bear.
San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller said a stolen vehicle report from a residence was received at 12:20 p.m.
"The reporting party identified the suspect as looking like Christopher Dorner but that has not been confirmed," Miller said.
The former Navy reservist began his run from the law on Feb. 6 after authorities connected the slayings of a former police captain's daughter and her fiance with an angry manifesto they said Dorner posted on Facebook. He vowed to bring "warfare" to Los Angeles police and their family members, which led the department to assign officers to guard more than 50 families connected to his so-called targets.
Within hours of the release of photos of the 6-foot, 270-pounder described as armed and "extremely dangerous," Dorner allegedly unsuccessfully tried to steal a boat in San Diego to flee to Mexico and then ambushed police in Riverside County, shooting three and killing one.
Jumpy officers guarding one of his targets in Torrance on Thursday shot and injured two women delivering newspapers because they mistook their pickup truck for Dorner's.
The hunt for Dorner appeared to go cold after his burned-out pickup was found later that morning in the mountains east of Los Angeles and his footprints disappeared on frozen ground.
Police found charred weapons and camping gear inside the truck, but it wasn't clear if he had fled into the San Bernardino Mountains near the resort town of Big Bear Lake or left the area.
Helicopters using heat-seeking technology searched the forest from above while scores of officers, some using bloodhounds, scoured the ground and checked hundreds of vacation cabins - many vacant this time of year - in the area. A snowstorm hindered the search and may have helped cover his tracks, though authorities were hopeful he would leave fresh footprints if hiding in the wilderness.
Dorner's beef with the department dated back at least five years, when he was fired for filing a false report accusing his training officer of kicking a mentally ill suspect. Dorner, who is black, claimed in his manifesto that he was the subject of racism by the department and fired for doing the right thing.
He said he would get even with those who wronged him in an event to reclaim his good name.
"You're going to see what a whistleblower can do when you take everything from him especially his NAME!!!" he wrote. "You have awoken a sleeping giant."
Chief Charlie Beck, who initially dismissed the allegations in Dorner's rant, said he would reopen the investigation into his firing - not to appease the ex-officer, but to restore confidence in the black community, which long had a fractured relationship with police that has improved in recent years.

This perky blonde felt wild when she felt the fresh air on her skin. The Girls Gone Wild guys chased her to an outside fountain and despite the cold water she jumped right in. She was knee deep when her shirt came off exposing some round firm boobs. If you want to see this chick get wet watch this video.
What's the best way to turn a girl on? Get her comfortable about the topic of sex, and make the conversation fun. This hot brunette from West Virginia talked to us about how she likes to perform fellatio with two hands. When asked to take off her top, she did so slowly and built up the tension. See what happens next in this exclusive Girls Gone Wild video.
Cute blondes will give you a hard time if you ask for their number right off the bat. They'll give you an even harder time if you ask them to show you their ass. See if this cute little college coed is willing to show us her goods.
Sometimes a girl just wants to have a good time and show her big natural tits on camera. That's exactly what this perky brunette said moments before she unveiled her very, very nice mammaries.
Sexy young blondes who know what they want will chase you down to get it. That's what happened when this perky college girl saw the Girls Gone Wild crew in the parking lot and chased us down as we were leaving. See what happens, and check out this brave little babe flash her tits in public.

Iguazu Falls
When we were in Ilha Grande we met a couple that said the first two weeks of travelling goes really slowly as you adjust to it and then after that it flies by. At this point we were nearly two weeks in and time was sauntering along at a nice leisurely pace. Then it broke into a power walk, then a jog and before I knew it we're six weeks in and have travelled from Brazil, to Argentina, to Chile. Oh time. Why do you have that annoying habit of flying by when fun is being had?
The end of Sao Paolo and Iguaçu Falls
So I left you in Sao Paolo just before we took part in the messiest night out we've had here. It was an organized bar/ club crawl with unlimited beer and pizza in the first hour and a shot at every bar. It's a little hazy.
From there we took a night bus to Foz de Iguaçu to see Iguaçu Falls. We chose to see the Argentinean side, which is known to be better. After some confusion with visas (we accidentally illegally entered Argentina without one), we were in Argentina for the first
Our favourite steak house
time. The falls were incredible. When you first turn the corner all you see is a massive hole with smooth water throttling down into nothingness. Then you turn the corner again and there it is, a roaring avalanche surrounding you. It literally takes your breath away.
After Iguaçu falls Stu and Nicole separated from the group to go to markets and floodings in Paraguay. The rest of us headed to Rosario, a town four hours north of Buenos Aires. The coach journey was really something. It was to be 21 hours starting at 9pm. While we were waiting for the coach to arrive we made friends with one of the managers. Because the coach was quite empty he bumped us up from economy to premier class. It was luxury! The chairs were more comfortable than any chair I've ever sat in. You sink into them like a dream. We were treated like royalty: hot meals, drinks, blankets, pillows. I pushed back my chair and fell into a contented slumber…
We were rudely awoken at 2am by a very angry Argentinean. We were at the first stop and there was a queue of people waiting to get
Mendoza's wine tour
on the coach. People meant for our seats. The Argentinean coach attendant (who unfortunately didn't speak any English) asked to see our tickets. Obviously they weren't the correct tickets. It looked like we were being cheeky and our lack of Spanish prevented us from denying this. Our food, blankets and pillows were snatched from us and we were made to do the walk of shame up to economy class. It was pretty humiliating. The last 16 hours were spent in average seats with cold meals and no blankets to protect us from the broken air conditioning permanently on full. We had tasted the high life and come crashing back down to the life of the ordinary backpacker.
Our Rosario experience was made what it was by a man named Juan and his quirky hostel. Juan is one of those loveable eccentric guys you don't forget in a hurry. He acts permanently drunk and has a way of making whole expressions through his eyes alone. When we first arrived Caz and I noticed a random water tap on the ceiling. Caz asked Juan what it is for. He said "Wherever there is a hole, I put a tap". There are
Oh the hangover!
taps dotted around the hostel.
We were joined in the hostel by Clive, a guy we first met in Paratay and keep bumping into. I think he's stalking us. I don't blame him. The six of us spent the first day exploring the city. Then we got taxis to the beaches on the opposite side of town. Mine and Saskia's driver dropped us off at a completely different place to the others'. After searching for them for a while, we gave up and went to a beach bar for cocktails. We met a group of Argentineans and spent the afternoon trying to communicated in Spanish. Saskia kept going into Italian, which is kind of similar. I kept going into Chichewa, which is not at all.
That night all the staff and guests had some drinks and a bbq on the roof of our hostel before going to a club. I met a Columbian pilot who was temporarily stopping off in Rosario. He offered to take me for a ride in his (two-man) plane early the next day. Neither of us got up early. Maybe next time.
It was also in Rosario that we had our first taste of Argentinean steak. Mine was in a creamy mushroom sauce with mash. By far the best steak I've ever had. We loved it so much we went back twice more, bringing others. We gave them good business.
After Rosario James, Caz and Soph went to Uruguay to join Stu and Nicole. Saskia and I decided to be more independent and go off on our own for a bit. Our destination of choice was Tigre, a suburb of Buenos Aires, described online as a massive party town at weekends. As we were arriving on Saturday night we had high expectations. We napped on the coach on the way there in preparation for our big night out. We arrived in a town completely tailored to families and young children. Not a bar in sight.
When we first arrived at the station we had no idea where our hostel would be, so decided to get a taxi. Our taxi driver was a jolly fellow with an English mother and French father. He happily chattered away in Spanish in the 10 minute drive to the hostel, while we pretended to understand and (hopefully) laughed at the right places. It was only once we had paid, said goodbye, dumped our stuff and headed into town that we realized the hostel is a two-minute walk from the station! Our friend the taxi driver had clearly been driving around pointlessly to get more money out of us. The cheek!
Tigre is a beautiful little town with a river running through it. Dotted around are various cafés and restaurants. The wealthy own charming little houses next to the river. If it wasn't for the palm trees and beautiful weather I'd have thought we were in Richmond. Also, the fact that not a single person spoke English. Saskia and I found ourselves lost in translation for the entire weekend. It improved our Spanish. We explored the markets, took a boat down the river and had the most amazing tuna salad. Nice and relaxing.
Buenos Aires
We decided to spend the next couple of days getting to know Buenos Aires from a different hostel before the others were to join us. We met a lovely couple called Jess and Edd (Edd is from Richmond!) and hung out with them and their friends both nights. The first night was the messier of the two. We played a destructive card game where the loser of each round had to buy himself and the winner a shot of tequila. By the time we left for the club we were all losers.
When we met the others at another hostel on Wednesday we were ashamed to admit that we could give them no insight into the city from our early arrival. The only time we had left our hostel was to go to the supermarket or clubs. We made sure the next week was spent exploring the city in the day, no matter how big the hangover. And what a city it is! It feels like a hundred different cities in one. The area surrounding our hostel was made up of pretty cobbled streets, independent cafés and marketplaces. Walk for about 10 minutes and you're on a huge dual carriageway with large office buildings, restaurants and chain supermarkets. Further out are shopping malls and bars and clubs. The parliamentary building (which is a beautiful shade of pink – there are many theories as to why, but the mystery has never been solved) is opposite a park with a fountain and statue. Surrounding the park are other beautiful buildings such as a cathedral. And then you turn the corner to a Mcdonalds and a Starbucks.
Further away from the center are some lovely art galleries and museums (I've become fascinated with Eva Peron, otherwise known as Evita), La Boca (known as the rough area of town, but very touristy in parts) and some beautiful parks and lakes. It was on the way to see some of the latter that I had my worst experience yet.
I was with Saskia, Nicole, Soph and Caz. It was late afternoon and I was pretty tired as we'd already done a fair bit of exploring and eaten a huge meal at a Mexican place. We were walking between two different Metros. There were four people doing the same transition. One of the women kept treading on my foot. I found it annoying but figured she wasn't very good with spatial awareness. I'm not very good with spatial awareness. I could sympathise. We were on the platform chatting about what stop we were going to get off at. I gave Nicole a head massage. The metro arrived. As I was getting on, a man tapped me on the shoulder. I turned briefly to look at him. I was on the metro. The doors closed. My bag was open. My camera was gone. The metro started moving. It dawned on me what had happened. Foot-treading woman was next to me. I knew she was the thief. I accused her. She looked down and didn't say anything. I got angrier. The others realised what had happened. We all started shouting at the four, who were clearly working together. The shoulder-tapping man acted dumb, even though Nicole was shouting in Spanish. No-one else helped. They got off at the next stop. I was still in shock. Bye bye camera. Bye bye 500 photos.
When I told other Argentineans what had happened they were shocked that no-one else on the train had intervened. I guess I was just really unlucky. Apart from the leering men, Argentineans have been generally really friendly and helpful. And so much fun! One night we went to a club that had live sca music in one room and topless men break dancing in the other. We spent most of the night tango dancing with random Argentinean men. A bizarre experience but very entertaining. Yet the best night had to be when we went to a drum show. Fifteen different drums plying with a conductor at the front and some occasional guitar and trumpet. In the audience we danced and clapped to the rhythms. It was sensational!
And suddenly it was time to leave Buenos Aires. It was the hardest place to say goodbye to yet. Love the city. Love the people. I'm definitely going to try and go back there sometime. It was also sad because it marked the end of us travelling as a seven. Saskia, Nicole and I headed to Mendoza, while everyone else headed South. We'll travel with James and Stu again at the end of April, but after a brief reunion at a festival this weekend we won't see Soph and Caz again. Very upsetting.
After all the goodbyes the journey to Mendoza was quiet, depressing. We were cheered up once we got there though by an Irish guy and a whole lot of wine. We hired bikes and used a map given to us by the lovely Mr Hugo to navigate ourselves round the different wineries. The vineyards and the mountains in the distance made the scenery amazing. At each winery we tasted the wine. Some of the best wine I've ever had. We ate lunch at a pleasant family-owned restaurant. I had a salad with a tasty wine vinegar. That night we continued the drinking at an all-you-can-eat bbq. Lethally there was half an hour of free tequila. They poured it into our mouths. I ended the night breaking the one promise I had made to myself. I had a McDonalds. Yes, I know. I went to Argentina and had a McDonalds.
The next day, as I suffered from possibly the worst hangover I've ever had, I figured I'd already broken that promise so may as well do it again. Nicole, Saskia and I headed there. And the most amazing thing happened. They accidentally gave us our order TWICE! In my hungover state I felt like this was the best thing to ever happen to me. It was only an hour later, when my tummy started to feel like there was someone ruffling around it with a knife, that I realised that in the last 12 hours I'd had as much bbq meat as I could eat and three Big Macs. Sorry tummy. No more McDonalds.
Next stop: Santiago. As we took the coach through the picturesque roads towards it I began to feel nervous. This is the place we'll be spending the next month. What if I hated it? I needn't have worried.
The hostel is probably the cleanest and most comfortable hostel we've stayed in. We get a room all to ourselves on the top floor, with three single beds rather than bunk beds. Our room overlooks a view of a mini mountain, on top of which stands a much smaller version of the Christ statue we saw in Rio. It was so good to unpack our things knowing it'll be a while before we need to pack them up again. It was also a luxury to be able to go to the supermarket and do a proper shop. I bought balsamic vinegar!
During the first evening, when me and Nicole were cooking, I was overcome by a sudden headrush. "That's so weird" said Nicole, "I just had one too!" Then we realized that we had experienced our first earthquake! A very small earthquake. But exciting nevertheless.
Yesterday was Saskia and Nicole's first day at their journalism internship. I have a Spanish school booked from next week, but until then I'm on my own during the day. Considering it was my first day, I decided to go on a walking tour. So I packed my water, got out my map, and off I trotted. On my own for the first time. Independent. That's me! It was only when I got to the meeting point that I realized I was an hour late. (There had been confusion over whether clocks would change. I thought they had. Apparently the Chilean President cancelled it.) I returned shamefaced.
Fortunately, there was another tour later that day. I made it to that one. It was really interesting. Chile has some fascinating, and at times quite violet history. And the city is really beautiful in parts and full of life. On the tour I met an Austrian girl called Kirsten who lived in Richmond for three years! This seems so keep happening. We agreed to meet up this week. So yay, I'm no longer alone!
And that's pretty much everything that's happened. As far as Santiago is concerned, so far so good. I think I'm going to like it here.
Hasta luego amigos!

A World Trade Organization panel has broadly upheld a complaint that China's restrictions on rare earth exports run counter to WTO rules, sources close to the matter said Friday.
The dispute settlement panel did so in its interim report distributed to relevant parties including Japan, the United States and the European Union that filed the complaint with the WTO, they said.
The panel will issue a final report, possibly within the year, after hearing from China and other parties. Usually, a WTO dispute settlement panel's final report endorses an interim one.
If dissatisfied with the final report, China will be able to take the dispute to the WTO Appellate Committee.

Stromberg 97 Carburetor - Mix MasterWritten by on March 6, 2008
There are some things in life that seem like they will live on forever. And while there are a few we could probably do without-"I Love Lucy" reruns and Brennan's stories about the '74 Street Rod Nationals spring to mind-there are others, such as Stromberg 97 carburetors, that some of us would be lost without.
While Stromberg produced carburetors for a variety of manufacturers, the two-barrels most hot rodders are familiar with first appeared on 85hp Ford Flatheads in '34 with the model 40; the model 48 was introduced in '35 (the preceding were both rated at 170 cfm); and from '36 to early '38, 97s were installed (155 cfm), model 81s (125 cfm) were used on the V8-60s, and the LZs (160 cfm) were found on the Lincoln V-12s. Along with the units that were plopped on top of Flatheads at the Ford factory, Type I Stromberg 97s were manufactured by Bendix in South Bend, Indiana, as replacements for Holley 94s; most of these have the 97 logo. Replacement versions, designated the Type II, were manufactured by Bendix in Elmyra, New York, and have a 1-1 logo.
Of all the Stromberg carburetors that shared the same basic design, the 97 became the performance carburetor of choice. There were quite a few reasons for its popularity with hot rodders (not the least of which was the fact that 97s were plentiful and cheap). From a performance standpoint, multiple Strombergs worked well, and the jets were easy to change so tuning was simple. But while well regarded, these mixers certainly weren't perfect. The needles and seats were prone to sticking and leaking if too much fuel pressure was applied, resulting in fuel leaks and the engine running rich. Typically, the ham-fisted method of addressing those problems was to over-tighten the cover screws to stop the leaks (which simply served to warp the mating surface or strip the threads) or to bludgeon the float bowl area with whatever heavy object was handy in an attempt to free a float. This didn't solve the problem either, and only made the carburetor look like a gunnysack full of walnuts.
Certainly the carburetor casualty list was long due to mistreatment, but many received ill-advised modifications, like drilling out the passages for use with alcohol or nitro, that could make a good carburetor into a great doorstop. The net result is that good, rebuildable 97 cores are becoming more expensive today. However, there are a number of sources for kits, parts, and rebuilding services (check the source box) if you do find yourself the proud owner of rebuildable Strombergs. But if you want to top your street rod's engine with one or a bunch of 97s and can't come up with them, don't despair because they're available new.
After years of rumors, the Stromberg Carburetor Ltd. of England is producing new 97s and parts. The new carburetors combine the early style cast-iron base with the later Stromberg-style circuits for improved off-idle response, and they wear a big 97 logo. Like the originals, they come with 0.045-inch main jets and a number 65-power valve. There are also a variety of improvements, including a new air horn design with extra material around the float bowl lid to help prevent warping and the leaks that result, and a new, no-stick S-Jet inlet valve. The finish is correct pale lemon chromate with iridescent highlights and the bases have a black Parkerized/lacquered finish. The first batch of new 97s has been delivered, and while there have been some supply interruptions, we're told that is being handled and more are on the way.
If you now have new or used Strombergs on your street rod, or if there are some in its future, here are some sources for parts and services that should be helpful, along with a couple installation tips. Since there may be more than one source for the following pieces pictured, we've identified the specific suppliers of those shown at the end of those captions. With all this cool stuff available, Strombergs just may live forever.

All the necessary screws are available in kit form to replace the often damaged or incorrect fasteners found on vintage carburetors. These shown here are stainless steel. (Speedway Motors)Used throttle shafts are often worn, which can cause vacuum leaks, and in many cases the throttle linkage for multiple Strombergs attaches to the left side of the carburetors, necessitating longer-than-stock throttle shafts. Both standard and extended shafts are available in standard size and oversize.Stromberg fuel line fittings are unique in that they are part of the seat assembly and require a special fitting. The adapter shown here allows the use of an AN fitting. (Speedway Motors)The fixed-length, accelerator pump rods are also often damaged or missing. There's no substitute for these, as the unique ends are spring loaded and fit over balls on the linkage. (Speedway Motors)Worn bases/throttle shafts can hamper performance. New stock-style replacements are available as well as a version without idle circuits for use in multiple-carburetor applications. (Speedway Motors)It can be difficult getting to the idle mixture adjustment screws when multiple carburetors are used; these "fat finger" replacements are much easier to get to. (The Hot Rod Company)Phenolic carb spacers act as insulators and are often the cure for fuel percolation problems. They fit all three-bolt Strombergs, Holley, and Ford carburetors. (Speedway Motors)These beautiful banjo fittings replace the originalstyle needle and seat. They swivel for alignment and are available in dual- or single-barb configuration for multiple-carb installations. (Dick Crawford Designing)
Generally when two carburetors are used they are hooked directly together. This unique type of linkage connects to the original throttle arms and does not require extended shafts. (Speedway Motors)If you prefer to use hose as a means of delivering fuel to the carburetor, fittings with hose barbs and the correct seat and threads for the inlet are available. (The Hot Rod Company)Progressive linkage on three-twos allows the engine to run on the center carburetor until 1/2 to 2/3 throttle, with all reaching wide open together. This type of linkage requires extended throttle shafts. (The Hot Rod Company)Strombergs need a clean fuel supply; this old-school Fram HPG-1 has a large paper filter and also serves as a water trap. Note the adjustable fuel pressure regulator-it's set at 2 1/2 psi.Adjusting multiple carburetors can be done quickly and accurately with a device called a Uni-Syn. (Speedway Motors)
The name Edmunds has appeared on many different kinds of speed equipment over the years. These reproduction air cleaners are available with mesh screens or K&N filters.(O'Brien Truckers)There must be several dozen types of velocity stacks available; this design is cast aluminum and is available it two lengths, this being the short style. (The Hot Rod Company)This great-looking small aluminum velocity stack has a removable screen that can be left in place or removed for racing. The larger version has a top screen as well as a smaller one down below. (Dick Crawford Designing)Stacks are cool looking but often leave something to be desired when it comes to air filtration. These filter discs with a washable foam element between steel mesh can be used to keep debris out of the engine. (The Hot Rod Company)

Water Filtration Devices
As water consumption is critical for maintaining health we offer a recommendation for the best personal use water filters. Water is our body's most important nutrient. Vata dosha, composed of air and space, is the only dry dosha. Water, being wet, can often be our first recourse to manage Vata.
Tap water may contain hundreds of poison chemicals as well as cysts such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Generally, in the USA, only about 100 types of contaminants are regulated. Conusmers who wish to be healthy must make sure that all the poisonous compounds are removed from their water. Many of the poisons have a pH of 6.5 - 8, so concentrating alkaline components without removing the toxic chemicals is very foolish and dangerous.

Re: anyone feel sorry for carlos molina the 154lb fighter?
Just imo, how he stacks up with the division.
vs Kirkland. If Molina couldnt beat Kirkland in that fight, in which the ref allowed him to fight doing anything he wanted, pushing, holding, grappling, ect.... to try and stuff kirklands offense, and Kirkland still wore him down, and the same would happen again. And if they had a ref that actually did his job (not DQ'ing in a bull**** stoppage, but not letting Molina fight like that in the first place) then James gets to Molina even earlier. I dont see him ever beating a conditioned and peak Kirkland (which Im not sure we will ever see again) But to be honest, not sure I should even be including James here, Kirkland is on the border of no longer being relivant to the division. Hes screwed his career over for the time being. And when he does come back I dont expect him to be the same force (have to wait n see obviously though) and if Molina stays active from here then not sure who id favor in a rematch.
vs Mayweather, he could do well.... Id have Mayweather the favorite but Molina would make it rough in there by the nature of his style and size.
vs Canelo, would be a decent fight, Id still favor Canelo but I think if Canelo doesnt stop Molina that Molina makes it close. Oh, and theres no way GBP lets Molina fight Canelo with that ugly n rough ****. The ref would be warning n taking points from Molina all night if he tried that. luckily for Molina he can box when he needs to, Canelo is an opponent I think he could box with. Kirkland his only hope was to fight in the manner he did, I dont think he would have to do that with Canelo.
vs Angulo. I think Molina beats Angulo fairly easily to be honest.
vs Trout. Not sure
vs Cotto. Not sure, think im favoring Molina at this point.... hard to know when robberies will happen but fair refs I think would see it for Molina.

Do not start the pc! A trained professional may be able to save it but plugging it in is an extreme shock hazzard!

Water can get trapped in places you may not even know of, and no, a hard drive isn't water proof. Until you can bring it to someone, I know this may be hard right now considering your circumstances, and apologize for your losses, but put it up somewhere dry until you can take it in along with the hard drive. Take care,Paul

I was in the kitchen just sititng there talking to Johnie on the phone when my cell phone rang. I didn't know the number, but something told to answer it
To my delighted surprise it was Diane calling
They were in the car on their way to DTD for dinner and probably just a bit more shopping :wink:
They had done the wildlife tour at Busch and it was slow there that they got to feed the all by themselves. They did a bunch of other stuff that she told me about, but I'm leaving that for her to write about in her TR when she gets back.
I will tell you that up to this point Dave has taken so many pictures that he's on something like his 4th or 5th memory card
They are going to see some very big Kitties on Sunday and I'm thinking that Dave had best get another memory card just for that day
She said that they were having a the best time and that they so did not want to ever leave!!!!
They've got one more week to go before they head home so everyone keep your fingers crossed the weather stays nice for them

What does a faint control line and dark test line on First Response Pregnancy Test mean?
I am week late for my period and with my daughter I took the First Response Pregnancy test and never had this happen. The test line which detects the hormone is very dark and showed up right away but he control line to show if the test is working is not as dark. I have now taken all 3 and had the same result each time. I'm just not sure what these means. I know when you're early the test line is faint but I thought the control line was always dark pregnant or not. I'm just confused and wanted to know if anyone else has had this happen? Thanks!

I actually called First Response because I had this same thing happen to me. They said that the reason the control line is so light is because your HCG levels are so high that it actually 'pulls' color from the control line. He confirmed you are still pregnant just it shows really high horomone levels. Hope that helps!posted 01/10/2008 by leyney
I had this exact same thing happen to me. I took a test on 12/29 and it came back positive and then I took another one today 1/9 just to reassure myself and the control was extremely light and the test very dark...I haven't found an answer yet but just thought I would let you know you weren't the only one.posted 01/09/2008 by leyney
I just took a First Response test with very little sample..didn't really have to pee but really wanted to see that positive. My HCG line came up instantly and dark! The control line was so faint...this is the second brand of test I have used and probably the 6th time testing. So I was excited to see such a dark line when the others were so faintposted 10/30/2008 by mrs. geroge
I had this happen to me also! My initial test was a "normal" positive, but I took a second test about a week later (also to reassure myself!) and the control line was very light. Thanks for making that call--that's good news!posted 05/09/2014 by Freya807
I had this happen to me yesterday and almost had a heart attack...I didn't know what was going on. I'm going to refrain from taking any more testes until I see my doctor...Thank you Leyna for your response and for putting my mind at ease!posted 04/15/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I just took a test to reassure and mine control line is barely visable! Thanks for making the call!posted 10/01/2011 by sarajenness
Hiiiiiii ladies!! The same thing happened to me. The control line (right line) was super light and the test line (line closer to what you pee on) was super dark. I got nervous but when I called the representative said that the HCG is on the higher side so it's taking color from the test line. Good news! Good luck everyone!!posted 02/27/2014 by Dandilions12
I am 5 weeks and I had taken my first response home test on 12/25/11 and it was positive, but the hcg line (1st line) was very dark and the control line (2nd line) was very light. I took another test today 12/29/11 just to make sure because I have no nausea and thats not normal for me. The lines again were the same but the control was even lighter, I was so scared so thank you everyone for your inputs! Good luck.posted 12/29/2011 by Robin107
They say that the best time to take an at home test is first thing in the morning.. with first morning urine.. try not to get up and go to the bathroom during the night and then do the test as soon as you get up.. the not going to the bathroom allows the hcg level to be higher and easily detected.. I took my tests in the afternoon and even got positive results but I would say first thing in morning since that is what is recommended.. Many home pregnancy tests (HPTs) claim to be 99% accurate on the day you miss your period. But research suggests that most HPTs do not consistently spot pregnancy that early. And when they do, the results are often so faint they are misunderstood. If you can wait one week after your missed period, most home pregnancy tests will give you an accurate answer. I would like to recommend you the book from http://pregnancyhours.com if you are trying to get pregnant. This comprehensive guide has helped so many people to get pregnant.posted 05/25/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
ok so i literally almost had a heart attack when this happened to me about 2 min ago! i am 5 weeks pregnant and wanted to double check i still was ( DH idea ) and we both almost died...i tried calling the hotline but they are closed so thank you layney for posting!!!posted 10/24/2011 by peppertje

Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) Govinda's daughter Narmada Ahuja, whose debut film has been delayed, says the script has been finalised and the project will hit the production stage early next year.
'The status of that project is we have finalised the script. Everything is done and we are now working on it. Most probably the first schedule of the film will go on the floor in January or maximum February,' Narmada, 20, told IANS.
The daughter of Bollywood's popular funny man Govinda, Narmada too will start her acting journey with a romantic comedy.
'The film is a young, fresh romantic comedy. Even the production house is not new, but they are coming out with a film after a gap of a few years. That's what made me keen on doing this film. I already have another film lined up after this.
'I can't talk about the project because they will announce the film according to their own convenience. They'll do that probably at the end of this year,' said the youngster who learnt the ropes of acting at the London Film Institute.
When asked about her co-actor in the film, Narmada said: 'All I can say is that my co-star in the film is not a newcomer. I can't reveal any other detail.'
She says her father's suggestions helped her in making up her mind about her career.
'Every father gives tips to their kids before they start their profession. My father too gave me a couple of tips. The most important thing that he told me was that no matter what you do, do it with your full heart; give it your 500 percent; and do it only if you are passionate about it because it shows on camera if you are not really into your work.
'That's one thing that really made me focussed about my career and made me more professional about it,' said Narmada.
Since she will be working in a romantic comedy, does she have her father's comic timing?
'I really can't judge that right now because I have not started shooting. But you never know, I might come up with something like he does, once we start working on the film,' said Narmada who enjoys her father's hits like 'Deewana Mastana', 'Swarg', 'Hero No. 1' and 'Partner'.
Narmada also defies the notion that star kids get things easily in Hindi filmdom.
'I don't think it's easy for us to enter the industry. At least it was not easy for me because I myself didn't want to get into the industry without any preparation. Once you know that you are well groomed and you're sure you can deliver, then only you should go for it. That grooming part is not very easy,' said the upcoming actress.

Ministry Sounds On In India
By Nyay Bhushan
Leading international dance brand Ministry of Sound has opened its first club in India.
London-based Ministry of Sound International president Michael Wilkings visited the capital New Delhi for the opening of the club, the first such club brand to enter the market.
"India is one of our primary expansion areas in the future, and we are currently negotiating for other Ministry of Sound clubs in other cities as well."
MoS have launched here via a licensee agreement with New Delhi-based Indo Renaissance, which has interests in hotels and related areas.
Wilkings added, "Our licensee for New Delhi has rights only for this particular location, although they do wish to open other sites, and we support them in that ambition. In fact, there is a strong possibility of another MoS club opening in another city sometime this year."
Wilkings added that the club's music style will reflect a mix of DJs and playlists "featuring the best of international and Indian talent."
The Delhi club can hold about 1,400 people, and couples can expect to pay an entry charge of $45 (Rupees 2,000).
Plans to appoint an India country manager are also in the pipeline.
In Asia, MoS already operates a club in Singapore, while an outlet in Kuala Lumpur will open towards the year-end. A Shanghai venue is slated for 2008.
